00:01:12.480 Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly.
00:01:14.300 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.
00:01:16.060 Breaking news now on Vice President Mike Pence.
00:01:19.560 Former Vice President Mike Pence,
00:01:21.480 who, guess what,
00:01:23.360 also just found classified documents at his residence.
00:01:27.080 They're coming out of their ears.
00:01:29.380 Very happy to have back on the show,
00:01:31.380 Amala Eka, let me say it, let me get it right,
00:01:34.220 Epanobi.
00:01:34.900 Thank you, Amala Epanobi.
00:01:36.500 You got it.
00:01:36.980 Back with us, host of Unapologetic Live,
00:01:39.360 and we are welcoming Federalist writer,
00:01:41.520 Evita Duffy Alfonso,
00:01:42.600 to the show for her very first appearance.
00:01:45.440 Great to have you both here.
00:01:47.180 Thank you.
00:01:47.760 Thanks for having us.
00:01:48.180 Oh my gosh.
00:01:49.820 You can't stop it.
00:01:51.340 Honestly, like,
00:01:52.560 there's more classified documents floating around
00:01:54.400 with these former presidents and vice presidents
00:01:56.080 than I drop F-bombs on this show.
00:01:58.140 And that's saying something.
00:01:59.560 Okay?
00:01:59.760 So Mike Pence decided,
00:02:02.780 out of an abundance of caution,
00:02:04.460 to go back and check his documents,
00:02:06.580 given everything that's going on.
00:02:09.260 And lo and behold,
00:02:10.520 they found some, quote,
00:02:12.460 small number,
00:02:13.560 I don't know exactly how many that is,
00:02:15.940 of documents bearing classified markings
00:02:18.600 in his Carmel, Indiana home
00:02:21.220 from his time as vice president.
00:02:23.880 This, despite the fact that in November,
00:02:27.920 he went on a press tour
00:02:29.040 and said to the Associated Press,
00:02:31.420 to ABC, the following.
00:02:34.900 Did you take any classified documents
00:02:36.320 with you from the White House?
00:02:38.680 I did not.
00:02:42.480 Do you see any reason for anyone
00:02:44.460 to take classified documents with them
00:02:46.600 leaving the White House?
00:02:48.280 Well, there'd be no reason
00:02:49.360 to have classified documents,
00:02:51.300 particularly if they were
00:02:53.100 in an unprotected area.
00:02:55.620 No, there wouldn't.
00:02:57.240 But like Trump said,
00:02:59.420 everyone has done it.
00:03:01.900 Right?
00:03:02.420 It's amazing, Amla,
00:03:03.200 where you see, like,
00:03:04.600 the truth coming out now
00:03:05.860 and all these holier-than-thou.
00:03:07.280 I would never.
00:03:08.160 It's disgusting how irresponsible.
00:03:10.460 I'm not saying it's exactly the same.
00:03:11.940 I'm just saying Trump's basic point
00:03:13.340 that he is not the only one
00:03:14.860 to have this stuff on his property
00:03:16.180 has been proven.
00:03:18.380 Right.
00:03:18.860 I'm thinking,
00:03:19.340 is this just something
00:03:20.020 that we have not been checking
00:03:21.360 on a regular basis?
00:03:22.680 Yes.
00:03:23.120 For classified documents
00:03:24.160 in these people's houses?
00:03:25.100 Yes.
00:03:25.200 And now everybody's
00:03:26.420 just a culprit here.
00:03:27.760 And, you know,
00:03:28.440 Pence really should have checked,
00:03:29.780 you know,
00:03:30.180 his properties
00:03:30.940 before he went on
00:03:32.180 and made that statement.
00:03:33.040 It was a bad move on his part.
00:03:34.940 That's exactly right.
00:03:36.000 So he,
00:03:36.920 why would you go out there,
00:03:38.260 Evita, right?
00:03:38.760 And be so,
00:03:39.820 so bold in your pronouncement
00:03:41.160 that,
00:03:41.500 no,
00:03:41.880 I didn't bring any.
00:03:42.860 And like the somber tone
00:03:44.080 of like,
00:03:44.480 and it's,
00:03:44.900 you know,
00:03:45.600 no,
00:03:46.280 why would you?
00:03:48.620 Everyone,
00:03:49.380 including Pence,
00:03:50.000 who we think
00:03:50.440 is going to challenge
00:03:51.080 Trump for the presidency
00:03:52.120 for the nomination
00:03:52.860 of the GOP.
00:03:54.740 You know,
00:03:55.260 they're out there
00:03:55.780 tisking,
00:03:57.140 like it's just not done.
00:03:59.080 And now we find out
00:04:00.240 it's done
00:04:01.000 by almost everyone.
00:04:03.760 Yeah.
00:04:03.960 I mean,
00:04:04.180 it's so,
00:04:04.720 it's so hypocritical
00:04:05.560 and especially
00:04:05.960 because Mike Pence said
00:04:07.000 after the Trump raid
00:04:08.680 that he didn't have
00:04:09.560 any classified documents.
00:04:10.520 He went on the record
00:04:11.180 and told all these media outlets
00:04:12.800 that he's,
00:04:13.220 he's not,
00:04:13.900 he's not guilty of that.
00:04:14.980 Trump might be,
00:04:15.660 but not me.
00:04:16.780 And,
00:04:17.220 and we have to also think
00:04:18.060 why,
00:04:18.640 why now?
00:04:19.260 Why,
00:04:19.480 why come forward,
00:04:20.400 you know,
00:04:20.660 admitting that you,
00:04:21.540 you have had these classified,
00:04:23.420 you had these classified documents
00:04:24.400 in your home.
00:04:25.720 I don't know about you guys,
00:04:26.780 but I,
00:04:27.180 my theory is that
00:04:28.060 this is all about
00:04:28.780 a presidential run
00:04:29.580 and that he's afraid
00:04:30.840 it's going to come out.
00:04:31.840 Maybe there was an investigation
00:04:32.680 that he became aware of
00:04:33.580 and that it was going to come out
00:04:34.640 later on
00:04:35.320 and maybe in a primary
00:04:36.520 or in a general election.
00:04:37.480 So he's trying to get ahead of it.
00:04:38.640 Either way though,
00:04:39.160 it's just,
00:04:39.720 it's so hypocritical
00:04:40.640 and,
00:04:40.920 and,
00:04:41.140 and very ridiculous,
00:04:42.920 the whole thing.
00:04:43.400 you know,
00:04:44.060 I've been saying
00:04:44.460 for a couple of weeks now,
00:04:45.460 let's,
00:04:46.520 let's do this.
00:04:47.220 Let's go to Bill Clinton.
00:04:48.560 Let's go to George W. Bush.
00:04:50.260 Let's go to Jimmy Carter.
00:04:51.860 Let's do it.
00:04:52.640 Let's have them all.
00:04:53.580 Right.
00:04:53.760 If you don't think
00:04:54.400 Bill Clinton
00:04:54.960 has got classified documents
00:04:56.680 in his home,
00:04:57.620 you're crazy.
00:04:58.360 He,
00:04:58.860 100%,
00:04:59.400 we just,
00:04:59.960 we don't,
00:05:00.500 we didn't have a nosy
00:05:01.480 national archivist
00:05:02.740 tapping on all the shoulders
00:05:04.780 of those people
00:05:05.520 the way we did with Trump.
00:05:06.740 And now,
00:05:08.040 the latest,
00:05:08.460 so Biden doesn't know
00:05:09.280 where to land on this.
00:05:10.620 You know,
00:05:10.780 he,
00:05:10.920 he realizes,
00:05:11.700 I think,
00:05:11.960 that he's ruined
00:05:12.540 any chance of prosecution
00:05:13.560 against Trump.
00:05:14.420 But now he's got to worry
00:05:15.620 about whether this is going
00:05:16.500 to be a huge political
00:05:17.400 problem for him.
00:05:18.480 So he comes out
00:05:19.280 with the,
00:05:20.060 no regrets,
00:05:20.860 no regrets.
00:05:21.480 I'm good.
00:05:22.160 I'm definitely not Trump.
00:05:23.380 I'm proper.
00:05:24.300 I did everything right.
00:05:25.420 And now,
00:05:26.360 and then like,
00:05:27.040 out comes another tranche
00:05:27.960 of documents
00:05:28.500 after he said that.
00:05:29.700 So now,
00:05:30.840 they've got a new spokesperson
00:05:32.700 going over to the White House
00:05:34.160 who's going to speak,
00:05:36.400 I guess,
00:05:36.740 more than Kareem Jean-Pierre
00:05:37.880 is going to on this.
00:05:39.480 And this is the new messaging,
00:05:42.140 okay,
00:05:42.400 from the Biden team
00:05:43.800 on,
00:05:44.300 on really what's going on here.
00:05:46.420 Number one,
00:05:46.860 it's the fault of the media.
00:05:48.280 And number two,
00:05:49.580 just in case you weren't aware,
00:05:50.920 they did everything properly.
00:05:52.240 Listen.
00:05:53.920 Well,
00:05:54.280 I think that there's some of this
00:05:55.300 that in every presidency,
00:05:56.640 you know,
00:05:56.880 there are many people out there
00:05:59.160 in the media
00:05:59.980 who sort of try to stir up
00:06:01.460 controversy
00:06:02.380 to get attention
00:06:03.200 or,
00:06:03.800 or time on camera.
00:06:06.280 The underlying issue
00:06:07.180 that we're talking about here
00:06:08.120 is that
00:06:08.600 as soon as the president's
00:06:10.140 personal team
00:06:10.940 noticed something,
00:06:12.500 they immediately
00:06:13.620 and promptly
00:06:14.520 and transparently
00:06:15.460 disclosed that
00:06:16.200 to the proper authorities.
00:06:18.520 Okay.
00:06:19.240 So a couple of things there.
00:06:20.360 It's not the media's fault.
00:06:21.700 It's not.
00:06:22.560 It's his guy's fault.
00:06:23.560 But secondly,
00:06:24.440 as soon as his personal
00:06:26.700 lawyers,
00:06:27.400 as soon as his personal
00:06:28.840 lawyers found it,
00:06:29.560 why are his personal lawyers
00:06:30.460 allowed to look for
00:06:31.140 classified documents?
00:06:32.020 They didn't have
00:06:32.420 a security clearance.
00:06:33.620 They notified
00:06:34.380 the proper authorities.
00:06:35.260 We know now
00:06:35.960 from reporting
00:06:37.060 that's been in the press
00:06:37.900 as well as Andy McCarthy's
00:06:39.420 review over at National Review,
00:06:41.380 he didn't notify
00:06:42.460 the proper authorities.
00:06:43.800 What they did,
00:06:44.380 the personal lawyers,
00:06:45.200 they called the White House.
00:06:47.000 They called the White House.
00:06:48.660 They did not call justice.
00:06:50.480 And then the White House
00:06:52.300 let the National Archives know.
00:06:54.300 Again,
00:06:54.680 they did not call justice.
00:06:56.700 The National Archives
00:06:57.660 did not call justice.
00:06:59.000 It was the inspector general
00:07:00.720 at the National Archives
00:07:02.200 who said,
00:07:03.140 holy shit,
00:07:03.740 we better call justice.
00:07:04.960 Like,
00:07:05.140 we don't want to get
00:07:05.980 pulled into this nonsense.
00:07:07.560 And finally,
00:07:08.240 that guy called justice
00:07:09.900 and justice started
00:07:11.220 looking at it
00:07:11.820 and it was buried
00:07:12.380 for several months
00:07:13.040 before the press
00:07:13.640 got wind of it
00:07:14.180 and CBS broke the story
00:07:15.240 just now.
00:07:15.820 So I love
00:07:16.840 the revisionist history.
00:07:19.260 Oh, absolutely.
00:07:20.280 I mean,
00:07:20.560 we all know
00:07:21.060 that they're fans
00:07:21.640 of revisionist history
00:07:22.560 over there.
00:07:23.060 What they're trying to do
00:07:23.980 is run cover.
00:07:24.840 They wanted to see
00:07:25.480 who was going to be
00:07:26.120 implicated in this first.
00:07:28.060 They wanted to see
00:07:28.720 how it was going to affect them.
00:07:30.100 And that's why
00:07:30.520 they make this call
00:07:31.140 to the White House
00:07:31.780 before anybody
00:07:32.500 in the justice system
00:07:33.660 hears what's going on.
00:07:35.160 It's very much
00:07:35.860 like what children do.
00:07:37.180 You know,
00:07:37.400 I stole the cookie
00:07:38.240 from the cookie jar.
00:07:39.400 Let me ask my brother
00:07:40.200 how I'm going to get
00:07:40.920 in trouble for this
00:07:41.640 and then we'll go tell mom
00:07:42.880 that we went and did this.
00:07:44.000 It's exactly what's happening here.
00:07:45.800 And I have a feeling
00:07:46.540 Mike Pence is going
00:07:47.820 to probably have
00:07:49.120 a very similar tune.
00:07:50.640 Yes,
00:07:50.900 I had these classified documents.
00:07:52.500 I stole the cookie
00:07:53.180 from the cookie jar,
00:07:54.180 but I let mom know
00:07:55.340 as soon as I realized
00:07:56.420 that was the case.
00:07:58.020 He comes out of it
00:07:59.620 and basically says,
00:08:00.520 oh,
00:08:01.160 you know,
00:08:01.760 reporters always want
00:08:02.580 their moment on camera.
00:08:04.240 This is not that.
00:08:05.380 The reason there have been
00:08:06.700 a couple of spicy exchanges
00:08:08.420 at the White House
00:08:09.580 press office
00:08:10.660 this past week
00:08:11.600 is because
00:08:12.360 Corrine Jean-Pierre
00:08:13.200 keeps coming out
00:08:13.860 and lying to them.
00:08:14.940 She keeps coming out
00:08:15.660 and giving them
00:08:16.200 misinformation
00:08:17.080 to be charitable to her.
00:08:19.080 We found everything.
00:08:19.980 We're sure.
00:08:20.940 The team has acknowledged.
00:08:22.020 They've told me.
00:08:22.620 They've assured me.
00:08:23.560 They found everything.
00:08:24.380 Another tranche.
00:08:25.200 No,
00:08:25.360 this time it's real.
00:08:26.280 Another tranche.
00:08:27.600 She tried being indignant.
00:08:29.220 Another tranche.
00:08:29.920 Whatever.
00:08:30.520 And the reporters,
00:08:31.700 even from the mainstream press,
00:08:32.940 are starting to get irritated
00:08:34.140 at the dishonesty.
00:08:36.120 This isn't the,
00:08:36.780 this particular issue
00:08:37.740 is not the fault of the media.
00:08:40.280 Yeah,
00:08:40.740 they have this whole narrative
00:08:42.140 that everything they've done
00:08:43.000 has been so clean,
00:08:44.240 so perfect.
00:08:45.400 Nothing like Trump.
00:08:46.760 But,
00:08:47.280 I mean,
00:08:48.000 if we're just looking
00:08:48.620 at the facts
00:08:49.820 of both situations,
00:08:51.320 Trump and then Pence and Biden,
00:08:52.860 there's a difference
00:08:53.820 in their positions,
00:08:54.720 right?
00:08:55.420 Trump was the president
00:08:56.280 and Joe Biden
00:08:57.520 and Mike Pence
00:08:59.220 were vice presidents
00:09:00.000 and this is where
00:09:00.540 these classified documents
00:09:01.260 came from.
00:09:01.640 They did not have
00:09:02.320 the ability
00:09:03.160 to declassify
00:09:04.320 any of this,
00:09:05.320 right?
00:09:05.520 I mean,
00:09:05.660 that's where we have
00:09:06.160 to start from.
00:09:06.820 And Trump did have
00:09:08.800 that right.
00:09:09.320 So I think that
00:09:10.320 we're even going
00:09:11.120 to think about
00:09:14.120 this idea
00:09:14.640 that this is a clean
00:09:16.000 in any way possible,
00:09:17.020 I think,
00:09:17.860 is just so dishonest
00:09:19.560 from the White House.
00:09:21.200 Well,
00:09:21.780 that one's not
00:09:22.240 the media's fault,
00:09:23.040 but this one in part
00:09:24.200 is the coverage
00:09:25.220 of these mass shooting
00:09:27.100 events that we've seen
00:09:28.520 over the past couple
00:09:29.140 of days in California.
00:09:30.700 So not one,
00:09:31.580 but two mass shootings
00:09:32.640 in the course of
00:09:33.440 36 to 48 hours
00:09:34.760 in California.
00:09:35.500 The first one
00:09:36.940 happened out
00:09:37.900 near Monterey.
00:09:39.820 A gunman killed
00:09:40.680 11 people
00:09:41.440 and shot several more.
00:09:43.480 It was at
00:09:44.500 a Lunar New Year's
00:09:46.580 celebration,
00:09:47.320 which is an important
00:09:48.140 holiday for many
00:09:48.840 Asian American communities.
00:09:50.620 And almost immediately
00:09:52.440 you had some
00:09:53.820 in the media
00:09:54.280 and leftist politicians
00:09:56.380 run with
00:09:57.740 bigotry,
00:09:59.520 hate.
00:10:00.140 This is a hate crime
00:10:01.200 because of who was killed.
00:10:03.060 But that inquiry
00:10:04.880 requires more facts
00:10:07.040 before you can settle
00:10:08.980 on bigotry.
00:10:10.760 And by the way,
00:10:11.260 then there was a second one
00:10:12.480 just yesterday
00:10:13.660 with seven killed
00:10:15.080 in Northern California
00:10:18.340 as a 67-year-old man
00:10:20.180 came and killed
00:10:21.740 seven people.
00:10:22.900 It looks like a workplace
00:10:23.540 violence mass murder
00:10:25.180 at several farms
00:10:27.100 in a local,
00:10:27.900 like around the area.
00:10:29.020 And he was said
00:10:29.620 to be a farm worker.
00:10:30.740 He worked at one
00:10:31.280 of those facilities.
00:10:31.960 So here's what
00:10:33.640 you get, okay?
00:10:35.020 In the buildup,
00:10:36.000 okay,
00:10:36.240 before we knew
00:10:37.040 much more
00:10:37.620 than it was
00:10:38.380 a 72-year-old,
00:10:39.380 before we even knew
00:10:40.020 it was a 72-year-old guy
00:10:41.740 who did the first one.
00:10:42.880 Asian man.
00:10:43.820 Both shooters,
00:10:44.960 Asian men
00:10:45.480 shooting other
00:10:46.980 Asian workers.
00:10:48.480 We get this
00:10:49.080 from Chuck Schumer.
00:10:50.480 We must stand up
00:10:51.800 to bigotry
00:10:52.780 and hate.
00:10:53.700 That's what he tweeted out.
00:10:54.720 Monterey.
00:10:55.360 It's Asian on Asian crime.
00:10:57.080 Okay?
00:10:57.520 Then we get Adam Schiff.
00:10:58.800 I mean,
00:10:58.920 these are not small names
00:10:59.860 in the Democratic Party.
00:11:02.280 Bigotry is a possible
00:11:03.700 motive here.
00:11:04.840 Okay?
00:11:05.680 What?
00:11:06.400 Why are you even mentioning?
00:11:07.440 You don't know.
00:11:08.120 How do you know that?
00:11:08.980 You know nothing yet.
00:11:10.060 Say nothing.
00:11:11.060 Wisconsin State Representative
00:11:12.420 Francesca Hong,
00:11:14.880 we are broken
00:11:15.980 as a nation
00:11:16.880 to have white supremacy
00:11:18.620 reign terror.
00:11:20.540 White supremacy?
00:11:21.920 Right?
00:11:22.440 So no one here,
00:11:23.780 as far as I know,
00:11:24.760 Amala,
00:11:25.120 has gone back
00:11:25.760 to correct the record
00:11:26.960 now that we know
00:11:28.160 that this is not
00:11:28.940 a hate crime
00:11:29.680 as it's defined
00:11:30.980 under the law.
00:11:31.900 This wasn't about
00:11:32.820 white supremacy.
00:11:34.480 Both of these
00:11:34.920 were about something
00:11:35.540 very different.
00:11:37.080 Right.
00:11:37.580 And I'll go out
00:11:38.180 on a strong limb here
00:11:39.100 and say that they never
00:11:39.860 will go out
00:11:40.480 and correct the record.
00:11:41.460 They're never going
00:11:41.900 to come and say,
00:11:42.560 you know what,
00:11:42.960 we were wrong
00:11:43.480 about our initial
00:11:44.120 statements on this shooting.
00:11:45.400 And this is what
00:11:46.000 they do every time
00:11:47.200 with every single
00:11:48.220 breaking news story
00:11:49.100 that they have.
00:11:49.780 They run with the narrative
00:11:50.760 of bigotry,
00:11:51.640 of white supremacy,
00:11:52.740 because that's the lens
00:11:54.060 through which they look
00:11:54.820 at the world.
00:11:55.460 Everything is an act
00:11:56.380 of racism.
00:11:57.100 Everything is an act
00:11:57.960 of bigotry,
00:11:58.760 even if you have
00:11:59.400 no facts and no evidence
00:12:00.960 to back up the claim
00:12:02.000 that you're making.
00:12:02.820 Because if you run
00:12:03.700 with that initial narrative,
00:12:05.020 that is what people soak in.
00:12:06.680 People aren't checking
00:12:07.360 back into the news
00:12:08.260 to find out
00:12:08.940 what is the identity
00:12:09.960 of this actual shooter.
00:12:12.220 Why is he of retirement age?
00:12:13.660 Why are both of these men
00:12:14.840 of retirement age,
00:12:15.740 which is something
00:12:16.200 that is not typical
00:12:17.040 of these mass shootings
00:12:18.420 that we experience
00:12:19.580 here in the United States?
00:12:21.140 Nobody's ever going
00:12:21.780 to go back and check.
00:12:22.800 They heard white supremacy.
00:12:24.040 That's what sticks.
00:12:24.960 And that's what the media
00:12:25.620 relies on.
00:12:26.920 And now we have Evita.
00:12:29.040 Now that we know
00:12:29.980 that both of these men
00:12:31.380 were of Asian descent,
00:12:34.000 here's how it reads now
00:12:35.120 in the Associated Press.
00:12:37.600 A 67-year-old man.
00:12:39.700 Nothing about his race.
00:12:41.000 Suddenly,
00:12:41.340 we don't mention the race.
00:12:42.620 Okay?
00:12:43.100 New York Times.
00:12:43.980 A 72-year-old man
00:12:45.240 and a 67-year-old man
00:12:47.340 committed these murders.
00:12:48.780 Suddenly,
00:12:49.460 the race gets totally ignored
00:12:51.320 because it doesn't support
00:12:52.920 the narrative,
00:12:53.460 you see.
00:12:54.000 So now,
00:12:54.920 we're just not going
00:12:55.620 to mention it.
00:12:56.080 We're just going
00:12:56.340 to let people question
00:12:57.240 and just go with
00:12:58.260 the old tweets they saw
00:12:59.240 from Chuck Schumer
00:12:59.940 and Adam Schiff.
00:13:01.860 Yeah.
00:13:02.200 I mean,
00:13:02.420 what's interesting about this,
00:13:03.720 one of these shootings
00:13:04.600 was in Oakland, California,
00:13:05.560 which has some
00:13:06.460 of the strictest gun laws
00:13:07.980 in the country,
00:13:08.940 similar to Chicago,
00:13:09.800 where I was for four years.
00:13:10.800 Lots of shootings,
00:13:11.660 lots of killings,
00:13:12.340 lots of violence.
00:13:12.980 And they always are
00:13:15.020 talking about equity.
00:13:15.960 That's why they want
00:13:17.380 to frame these shootings
00:13:19.620 around race
00:13:20.320 before they even know
00:13:21.060 that that's the reason
00:13:21.940 behind the shooting.
00:13:24.040 And yet,
00:13:24.440 the people that are being hurt
00:13:25.540 the most by the way
00:13:27.300 that these equitable,
00:13:29.420 race-conscious politicians
00:13:30.920 are running these cities,
00:13:32.400 running these states,
00:13:33.680 is minorities, right?
00:13:35.720 I mean,
00:13:35.960 if we're really going
00:13:36.640 to have a conversation
00:13:37.280 about minorities
00:13:38.180 and things being unjust,
00:13:40.220 let's talk about
00:13:41.380 how many minorities
00:13:43.180 live in communities
00:13:44.220 that have excessively
00:13:45.020 strict gun laws,
00:13:45.980 cannot defend themselves,
00:13:47.500 and are completely
00:13:49.380 at the victim
00:13:50.080 of these lawless neighborhoods.
00:13:51.800 You know what?
00:13:52.720 It's so true
00:13:53.600 because the,
00:13:54.920 literally,
00:13:55.960 Gavin Newsom,
00:13:56.700 the governor of California,
00:13:57.960 said,
00:13:59.020 we have the strictest
00:14:00.740 gun laws in the country,
00:14:03.020 here in California.
00:14:03.980 You cannot get any tougher
00:14:05.480 on the gun restrictions
00:14:06.860 than California.
00:14:08.220 I looked up
00:14:08.600 just a couple of them.
00:14:10.800 Mandatory waiting periods,
00:14:12.220 background checks,
00:14:13.320 military-style weapons are banned,
00:14:16.420 red flag laws,
00:14:17.860 new laws targeting gun dealers,
00:14:20.320 restricting the types of guns
00:14:21.620 that can be sold,
00:14:22.680 short barrel shotguns banned,
00:14:24.220 rifles banned
00:14:24.860 of certain types,
00:14:26.840 ghost guns banned,
00:14:28.120 and so on.
00:14:28.720 So,
00:14:29.700 what we always get,
00:14:31.260 always,
00:14:31.820 in the wake of these,
00:14:32.720 is we got to get the guns.
00:14:34.540 Right now,
00:14:35.320 there's a renewed push
00:14:36.180 by President Biden
00:14:37.200 for let's bring back
00:14:38.720 the assault weapons ban.
00:14:40.120 It's like,
00:14:41.340 we couldn't have
00:14:42.760 any more gun laws
00:14:44.220 on the books in California
00:14:45.400 because we do have
00:14:46.200 a Second Amendment.
00:14:46.880 So you really couldn't
00:14:48.000 constitutionally have
00:14:48.860 more gun laws
00:14:49.380 on the books in California.
00:14:50.240 The criminals don't abide
00:14:51.260 by the gun laws.
00:14:52.280 You can put as many
00:14:53.220 on there as you want.
00:14:54.560 They don't abide
00:14:55.240 by the gun laws, Amala.
00:14:57.120 Right.
00:14:57.660 They're pushing this.
00:14:58.720 And I live here
00:14:59.500 in Los Angeles,
00:15:00.120 so I'm experiencing
00:15:01.560 the woes
00:15:03.440 of their progressive policy
00:15:05.140 every single day.
00:15:06.220 I work really closely
00:15:07.120 with police officers
00:15:08.060 in South Central,
00:15:09.000 which is one of the most
00:15:09.620 dangerous areas
00:15:10.520 here in Los Angeles.
00:15:12.080 And they are talking
00:15:13.140 about how emboldened
00:15:14.260 these people feel
00:15:15.140 to commit crimes
00:15:16.240 because of the policies
00:15:17.260 that are being put in place.
00:15:18.840 Not only are we punishing
00:15:20.060 law-abiding citizens
00:15:21.160 and taking away their rights
00:15:22.600 to protect themselves,
00:15:23.900 but we are then
00:15:24.520 looking to criminals
00:15:25.340 and saying,
00:15:25.880 you know what,
00:15:26.560 here's a policy
00:15:27.180 that's going to make
00:15:27.820 your life easier.
00:15:28.660 Where right now,
00:15:29.380 you might be committing crimes
00:15:30.880 and being placed in jail.
00:15:32.180 Now we're not even
00:15:32.740 going to arrest you anymore.
00:15:33.700 It's decriminalized to shoplift.
00:15:35.120 We have smash and grabs
00:15:36.000 happening all over the place.
00:15:37.580 Gangs have been emboldened
00:15:38.640 to continue with their activity
00:15:39.820 and become far more aggressive
00:15:41.660 and far more violent.
00:15:43.040 And all because people
00:15:44.200 like Gavin Newsom
00:15:45.140 and our local legislators
00:15:46.860 are allowing this to happen.
00:15:48.780 It's much like the streets
00:15:49.940 of Chicago,
00:15:51.500 where gun violence
00:15:52.680 is happening on a daily basis
00:15:54.140 and nobody cares.
00:15:56.000 And minorities
00:15:56.740 and people of color
00:15:57.680 are going to be the ones
00:15:58.900 most affected by this.
00:16:00.920 You're in L.A.
00:16:01.640 Evita was in Chicago
00:16:02.840 at the University of Chicago
00:16:03.680 for four years.
00:16:04.400 I'm just outside
00:16:04.960 of New York City.
00:16:05.780 All three of these cities
00:16:06.620 have seen massive crime spikes.
00:16:09.320 And what's interesting is,
00:16:10.960 so by the way,
00:16:11.880 this guy,
00:16:12.300 I want to learn more,
00:16:13.040 but the 72-year-old shooter,
00:16:14.480 he had been arrested
00:16:15.960 for having an illegal firearm
00:16:17.480 not long ago.
00:16:18.420 So what happened there?
00:16:19.700 I mean,
00:16:20.200 what we've seen
00:16:21.020 so many of these cases
00:16:21.920 is some soft-on
00:16:23.000 crime prosecutor,
00:16:24.340 if there is an arrest,
00:16:25.520 does nothing about it.
00:16:26.580 So it's like,
00:16:27.060 okay,
00:16:27.620 well,
00:16:28.400 great to have all those laws
00:16:29.320 on the books.
00:16:29.760 Are you actually
00:16:30.220 going to enforce them?
00:16:31.120 Because why was this guy,
00:16:32.640 why do you still have
00:16:33.200 all these firearms?
00:16:34.500 What was done to him
00:16:35.180 in the criminal justice system?
00:16:36.140 Let's find out.
00:16:37.040 Let's probe that.
00:16:38.240 But Chicago
00:16:39.080 is in a very interesting
00:16:41.180 position right now,
00:16:42.120 Evita.
00:16:43.760 Lori Lightfoot
00:16:44.560 looks like she's going to lose.
00:16:46.320 It's incredible.
00:16:47.820 She was elected
00:16:48.400 as mayor in 2019.
00:16:49.720 Anything could happen,
00:16:50.840 but right now
00:16:51.220 she's polling in fourth place
00:16:52.600 for this upcoming mayoral race.
00:16:54.540 Now,
00:16:54.660 it's one of those things
00:16:55.240 where if you don't get
00:16:55.700 over 50%,
00:16:56.360 then they have a runoff
00:16:57.340 a couple of months later.
00:16:58.080 And,
00:16:58.660 you know,
00:16:58.780 those can wind up,
00:16:59.640 you can wind up winning
00:17:00.420 even if you are in fourth place
00:17:01.700 into the first vote.
00:17:03.760 But she's struggling.
00:17:05.220 And there are,
00:17:06.120 like,
00:17:06.320 the guy who's at the top
00:17:07.500 who's like secretly
00:17:08.740 more right-leaning
00:17:09.700 has got like double digits
00:17:11.760 what she has
00:17:12.580 in this race.
00:17:13.360 And what they're saying
00:17:15.120 is in large part
00:17:16.200 it is because of
00:17:16.940 the soaring crime
00:17:17.880 in that city.
00:17:19.320 2021 was a record year
00:17:21.140 for murders.
00:17:22.180 In Chicago,
00:17:23.120 they had 800,
00:17:24.540 800 Chicagoans
00:17:25.760 murdered.
00:17:26.780 In that year alone,
00:17:27.860 it's gone down.
00:17:28.740 In 2022,
00:17:29.500 it had no place to go
00:17:30.260 but down.
00:17:31.300 But what do you make
00:17:32.040 of what's happening
00:17:32.580 in Chicago
00:17:33.000 with the rising crime
00:17:34.120 and the potential fall
00:17:35.660 of Lori Lightfoot?
00:17:36.860 I wish that
00:17:39.600 Lori Lightfoot
00:17:40.840 would fall.
00:17:41.860 I have to tell you,
00:17:43.100 Megan,
00:17:43.400 it's,
00:17:44.340 the Chicago machine
00:17:45.560 is real.
00:17:46.260 And at the end
00:17:47.040 of every election,
00:17:47.860 somehow,
00:17:48.560 whoever is totally wrong
00:17:50.460 for the city
00:17:50.900 ends up winning
00:17:51.600 because there's a lot
00:17:52.980 of corruption.
00:17:54.020 But I will say
00:17:55.060 from my reporting
00:17:55.840 and being in Chicago
00:17:56.960 actually talking to people,
00:17:58.440 they have really turned on her.
00:18:00.100 Will that be reflected
00:18:01.000 in the election results?
00:18:02.300 I'm not sure.
00:18:02.840 But they are extremely concerned
00:18:05.240 about the crime
00:18:06.360 in the city.
00:18:06.860 Not just the people
00:18:08.040 who are in the traditionally
00:18:09.320 dangerous neighborhoods.
00:18:10.240 People on the north side
00:18:11.180 are extremely concerned
00:18:12.400 about the crime.
00:18:13.360 I talked to a police officer
00:18:14.380 who said,
00:18:14.940 our force is bleeding
00:18:16.420 because of Lori Lightfoot.
00:18:18.180 Lori Lightfoot
00:18:18.740 doesn't have their back
00:18:20.360 during BLM.
00:18:21.300 She left them all out to dry.
00:18:22.800 There's a perception of that.
00:18:24.240 Mind you,
00:18:24.860 this is a black officer
00:18:26.300 that I was talking to
00:18:27.120 telling me this.
00:18:27.960 He also said that
00:18:28.600 during the vaccine mandates,
00:18:30.520 she said,
00:18:31.940 you know,
00:18:32.140 if you don't get the vaccine,
00:18:33.620 you're off the force.
00:18:34.440 Many of them had to leave.
00:18:35.440 There is
00:18:35.840 constant violence,
00:18:37.220 constant crime.
00:18:38.560 People are having to,
00:18:39.820 because they can't defend themselves,
00:18:41.020 walking around with knives
00:18:42.160 to defend themselves,
00:18:43.420 particularly,
00:18:44.100 like we talked about before,
00:18:45.300 people in black
00:18:46.260 and Hispanic communities.
00:18:47.860 I know you went out
00:18:48.760 and did some
00:18:49.120 man-on-the-street interviews
00:18:50.260 on crime there.
00:18:51.220 I think we've got a little bit
00:18:52.060 of that queued up
00:18:52.680 so the audience can see it.
00:18:53.840 It's not six.
00:18:55.680 Lori Lightfoot
00:18:56.300 has said recently
00:18:57.040 that since she's taken office,
00:18:59.120 the city's a lot safer.
00:19:00.120 Do you agree with that?
00:19:01.400 No.
00:19:02.200 Tell me why.
00:19:05.280 It's been going,
00:19:06.380 a lot going on
00:19:07.300 in this area,
00:19:08.480 especially since
00:19:09.860 Lori Lightfoot
00:19:11.280 has been in here.
00:19:12.680 So it's like,
00:19:14.080 it's not safer.
00:19:16.300 She didn't do nothing.
00:19:17.900 Me living in this community
00:19:19.060 is not safe.
00:19:20.760 I have to walk down
00:19:21.740 the street with a knife
00:19:22.920 just to go home.
00:19:26.400 The folks know.
00:19:27.860 They were,
00:19:28.400 were they street vendors?
00:19:29.180 No.
00:19:31.260 So those,
00:19:31.840 that was just a woman
00:19:32.740 in West Lawndale,
00:19:33.820 which is one of the most
00:19:34.360 dangerous neighborhoods
00:19:34.960 in Chicago.
00:19:35.480 But the street vendors
00:19:36.700 are an Hispanic neighborhood
00:19:37.760 in Little Village
00:19:39.020 and many of them
00:19:39.640 are actually undocumented immigrants,
00:19:41.960 which is why they have,
00:19:43.040 they are street vendors.
00:19:43.940 They can't get regular jobs,
00:19:45.520 many of them.
00:19:46.280 And they,
00:19:47.220 because they're on the side
00:19:47.880 of the street,
00:19:48.560 because they,
00:19:49.540 they are,
00:19:50.340 you know,
00:19:51.220 using on a cash-only basis,
00:19:53.460 many of them
00:19:53.960 are very vulnerable
00:19:54.780 to,
00:19:55.580 to robberies
00:19:56.480 and not just any kind
00:19:57.520 of robberies,
00:19:58.540 armed robberies,
00:19:59.160 men coming with machine guns
00:20:01.360 pointed at their heads.
00:20:02.600 I mean,
00:20:02.840 people in this city
00:20:03.820 and Chicago
00:20:04.820 are absolutely traumatized
00:20:06.560 by what's happened.
00:20:07.180 And I think that's why
00:20:07.980 many of them have just said,
00:20:09.480 we need to change.
00:20:10.340 Lori Lightfoot has not done
00:20:11.540 anything for us.
00:20:12.800 She doesn't seem to care about us.
00:20:14.360 Let's get,
00:20:14.600 let's get more cops on the street.
00:20:15.980 Let's enforce the laws
00:20:16.860 as written on the books.
00:20:17.840 Let's throw the book
00:20:18.520 at people who
00:20:19.080 take these,
00:20:20.780 these weapons
00:20:21.400 and threaten the street vendors.
00:20:22.760 Or we could do
00:20:23.700 what Lori Lightfoot
00:20:24.300 is proposing.
00:20:25.520 This is her proposed solution.
00:20:27.200 Here it is,
00:20:27.540 SOT 17.
00:20:29.160 Heard a lot of rhetoric here,
00:20:30.720 a lot of soundbites,
00:20:31.900 but not a lot of concrete solution
00:20:33.560 on how we get the job done
00:20:35.180 and make our residents
00:20:36.760 and our workers safe.
00:20:38.400 We're doing it
00:20:39.000 every single day.
00:20:40.860 I think the follow-up is,
00:20:42.480 and your solution is?
00:20:43.980 I just explained it.
00:20:45.300 We have been in Little Village
00:20:46.580 working with those street vendors,
00:20:48.480 understanding what the nature
00:20:49.460 of the crime is,
00:20:50.380 making sure that we're doing things
00:20:51.640 in concert with them
00:20:52.820 to help them
00:20:53.840 make sure that their money
00:20:55.860 is secure,
00:20:56.900 not use money
00:20:57.760 if at all possible,
00:20:59.000 using other forms
00:21:00.360 of transactions
00:21:00.980 to take care of themselves.
00:21:03.700 Don't use cash.
00:21:05.100 She's said it a couple of times.
00:21:06.520 Don't use cash.
00:21:07.420 The street vendors.
00:21:08.680 Oh, okay.
00:21:09.780 So take away the cash.
00:21:10.680 But how about getting
00:21:11.460 some cops out there
00:21:12.780 to help them?
00:21:13.240 How about keeping criminals
00:21:14.260 behind bars
00:21:15.420 so that they're not running
00:21:16.340 rampant in the streets?
00:21:17.280 Oh, go ahead, Amal.
00:21:20.920 I'm sorry.
00:21:21.760 Yeah, I mean,
00:21:22.440 she's looking at these people
00:21:23.620 and essentially saying,
00:21:24.700 well, it's your fault
00:21:25.300 that this is happening to you
00:21:26.400 and you just need to adjust.
00:21:28.520 It's very similar
00:21:29.420 to the narrative
00:21:30.560 we got surrounding inflation.
00:21:32.400 This is all natural.
00:21:33.300 It's your fault
00:21:33.800 that you're not adjusting.
00:21:34.900 You expect too much
00:21:35.940 from this country.
00:21:36.780 And that's what she's telling
00:21:37.720 the citizens of Chicago.
00:21:39.740 Yeah, and it's not just Chicago, Evita.
00:21:41.760 I mean, it's just in New York City.
00:21:44.000 Of course, we've seen record crime here
00:21:45.620 and the subways.
00:21:47.680 I pulled the latest numbers.
00:21:49.620 It was since 2020,
00:21:51.600 there have been roughly 21 killings
00:21:53.700 in the subway system.
00:21:54.880 I mean, this used to be so safe.
00:21:56.500 I've lived in New York for a long time,
00:21:58.080 lived my whole life in New York State.
00:22:00.460 When I was a young lawyer here
00:22:02.100 in the late 90s,
00:22:03.140 I was on the subway every day,
00:22:04.600 multiple times a day.
00:22:05.420 You didn't see it.
00:22:06.120 Nobody was getting shot.
00:22:07.120 Nobody was getting killed.
00:22:08.620 We'd already had Giuliani
00:22:09.860 cleaning up the cities,
00:22:12.020 the streets and so on.
00:22:13.660 And then we had such a blessed period
00:22:15.580 of Giuliani, Bloomberg,
00:22:17.180 where they funded the cops,
00:22:19.000 they prosecuted crime.
00:22:20.520 And then that loser,
00:22:21.600 Mayor de Blasio, took over.
00:22:23.260 And the street,
00:22:23.900 everything went to hell.
00:22:25.020 It went to hell, thanks to him.
00:22:26.620 He was too busy smoking his pot
00:22:28.080 and promoting his wife's stupid videos
00:22:29.920 of her cooking
00:22:30.580 and not worried about
00:22:31.920 keeping the streets safe.
00:22:33.920 So we've had 21 killings
00:22:35.480 in the subway system since 2020.
00:22:39.040 And that's more than the 20 murders
00:22:40.900 that were recorded
00:22:41.540 between 2008 and 2019 combined.
00:22:46.920 That's crazy.
00:22:48.020 Is that, is that must be,
00:22:49.180 I wonder if that's 2008, 2019.
00:22:51.160 In any event,
00:22:51.760 I'll get the stats
00:22:52.900 from the New York Post.
00:22:54.700 So bad that the Fox News weatherman,
00:22:57.260 Adam Klotz,
00:22:58.760 had an extraordinary thing
00:22:59.700 happen to him two days ago.
00:23:00.760 He was riding the subway home
00:23:02.180 from having watched a Giants game
00:23:04.060 with some buddies.
00:23:05.520 He said it was after midnight.
00:23:06.580 It was like 1245 in the morning,
00:23:08.340 but crowded subway.
00:23:11.100 And well, I'll let him tell it
00:23:13.720 what happened to him.
00:23:14.300 He saw a guy in trouble,
00:23:15.280 some gang members
00:23:16.120 or some young guys,
00:23:17.500 seven guys,
00:23:18.440 beating up on an old man.
00:23:19.440 He stepped in.
00:23:20.560 Here he is.
00:23:22.300 Last night,
00:23:23.000 coming home from watching
00:23:23.720 the Giants game at a bar
00:23:24.880 on the subway,
00:23:26.660 this older gentleman
00:23:28.160 was being hassled
00:23:28.900 by this group of like
00:23:29.800 seven or eight teens.
00:23:31.540 And I was like,
00:23:32.240 yo, guys, cut that out.
00:23:34.000 And they decided,
00:23:35.700 all right,
00:23:36.000 if he's not going to get it,
00:23:37.180 then you're going to get it.
00:23:38.480 And boy,
00:23:39.220 did they give it to me.
00:23:40.680 They had me on the ground.
00:23:42.060 My ribs are all
00:23:42.960 kind of bruised up, too.
00:23:44.060 They got their hits in.
00:23:46.340 But that guy,
00:23:47.420 he got out of there.
00:23:48.420 He's fine.
00:23:49.460 And the cops grabbed
00:23:50.420 a couple of these kids.
00:23:52.340 And,
00:23:52.940 you know,
00:23:54.040 I got x-rays.
00:23:55.160 I'm OK.
00:23:55.720 This is all going to heal.
00:23:56.820 So it's all good.
00:23:57.860 You know what I mean?
00:23:58.400 New York City.
00:24:00.020 New York City.
00:24:02.420 Ah,
00:24:03.000 what a place.
00:24:04.520 The Big Apple.
00:24:05.020 Oh,
00:24:05.740 he's I'm sure he's,
00:24:09.340 you know,
00:24:09.620 making light of it there.
00:24:11.400 You know,
00:24:11.840 to his credit,
00:24:12.460 he's not leaning into
00:24:13.520 poor me,
00:24:14.680 but
00:24:14.900 I'm sure he's traumatized.
00:24:17.140 I'm sure that was
00:24:18.000 extremely traumatic.
00:24:18.960 They lit the guy's hair on fire,
00:24:20.800 an elderly man.
00:24:22.360 So Adam,
00:24:22.940 the weather guy,
00:24:23.680 steps in to say,
00:24:24.560 yo,
00:24:25.420 what are you doing?
00:24:26.580 And they beat the hell out of him.
00:24:28.100 That's life in New York now,
00:24:29.380 Evita.
00:24:30.480 Yeah.
00:24:31.000 Well,
00:24:31.280 first of all,
00:24:31.840 I just want to say how brave of him.
00:24:33.280 And we're always demonizing men
00:24:34.940 and toxic masculinity.
00:24:35.880 And what an amazingly brave example
00:24:38.320 of a man standing up
00:24:40.080 and doing what's right
00:24:41.140 and and suffering the consequences of it,
00:24:43.680 but but doing what was right ultimately.
00:24:45.040 But I think,
00:24:46.000 I mean,
00:24:46.760 I had a classmate that was that was shot
00:24:48.760 in the Chicago subway.
00:24:50.800 I think many people that live in New York
00:24:52.800 and Chicago and L.A.,
00:24:53.780 they have experiences like that,
00:24:55.240 know someone who's been through something like that,
00:24:57.020 and they just don't want to stay there.
00:24:58.780 I mean,
00:24:58.980 people are fleeing
00:25:00.780 these major American cities
00:25:03.240 and moving to other places
00:25:05.260 that work better for them.
00:25:06.340 I, you know,
00:25:06.680 I recently graduated
00:25:07.740 and it's been really interesting
00:25:09.040 to talk to my friends.
00:25:09.980 Where did you want to go
00:25:11.160 once you left college?
00:25:13.100 Not not one of them,
00:25:14.920 actually of my of my friend group
00:25:16.580 stayed in Chicago.
00:25:17.600 And I don't know anybody
00:25:18.560 who went to New York.
00:25:19.480 I know people who went to Nashville.
00:25:20.620 I know people who went to Dallas.
00:25:22.120 I know people who went to Miami,
00:25:23.160 but they're just not interested in this.
00:25:25.420 And I think once people
00:25:26.480 start to really leave,
00:25:27.720 they'll and it starts to hurt the economy.
00:25:29.920 Hopefully these these leftist mayors
00:25:31.700 will start to turn things around.
00:25:32.680 But until things get
00:25:33.880 to a really terrible point,
00:25:34.920 I think these cities
00:25:36.320 are going to continue to bleed
00:25:37.220 and just keep getting worse.
00:25:38.840 Oh, my God.
00:25:40.040 A couple of the couple
00:25:41.100 that they managed to arrest
00:25:42.420 were apparently juveniles.
00:25:43.840 And so they're going to have
00:25:44.860 a juvenile record,
00:25:45.680 which will then be expunged.
00:25:46.760 And they'll go on to,
00:25:48.260 I'm sure, continue a life of crime
00:25:49.620 and hurt somebody else.
00:25:51.900 That's how it goes.
00:25:53.020 That's how it goes.
00:25:54.300 We don't have a mayor now
00:25:55.660 who cares much
00:25:56.200 about fighting crime either.
00:25:57.260 We thought, you know,
00:25:58.340 Mayor Mayor Eric Adams
00:26:00.160 was going to change things.
00:26:01.140 So far, no, he hasn't.
00:26:02.300 He has a light
00:26:02.820 light on crime DA as well.
00:26:04.640 That's been well documented.
00:26:06.600 Well, one place they should not go,
00:26:08.120 but might Evita,
00:26:09.100 when they graduate from college
00:26:10.180 is Atlanta.
00:26:10.820 Atlanta, I say that
00:26:13.080 because the people
00:26:13.760 going to Atlanta right now
00:26:14.960 are apparently runny-nosed,
00:26:18.140 snotty-nosed, elite university,
00:26:21.020 well-educated, rich, privileged kids
00:26:23.200 who want to go burn cop cars
00:26:25.700 in the name of environmentalism,
00:26:28.420 I think,
00:26:29.580 because they have nothing else
00:26:31.580 better to do.
00:26:32.460 I mean, that's what we're seeing.
00:26:33.260 So Atlanta finds itself
00:26:35.260 the subject of riots
00:26:37.580 because they're refunding cops.
00:26:41.380 They're building what's,
00:26:42.960 I guess they're calling it
00:26:43.540 like a cop center
00:26:44.360 where they can train
00:26:46.480 more police and so on.
00:26:47.900 And this has become a big issue
00:26:49.880 because people hate cops on the left
00:26:52.580 and because they're going to have
00:26:54.040 to knock down some trees
00:26:54.860 to build this center.
00:26:56.620 So these kids are out there
00:26:58.240 and they're protesting
00:26:59.920 and they're angry.
00:27:00.760 And in the course of all of this,
00:27:04.900 someone got shot.
00:27:07.800 Someone got killed
00:27:09.380 and they had taken a shot at a cop
00:27:11.000 and they actually hit the cop
00:27:12.440 and then the cops shot back
00:27:13.940 at this protester
00:27:14.760 and the protester died.
00:27:18.660 So now we have riots
00:27:19.560 because cops are bad
00:27:20.600 because we have to believe
00:27:22.160 that this is all made up.
00:27:23.500 The cops weren't actually shot at
00:27:24.640 even though we apparently have
00:27:25.620 a very injured police officer
00:27:26.800 and it's spiraling, right?
00:27:28.500 It's spiraling.
00:27:28.980 And it looks very much,
00:27:30.680 according to Andy Ngo's reporting,
00:27:33.040 which you can read
00:27:33.520 in the New York Post
00:27:34.140 in addition on his Twitter,
00:27:35.820 this thing,
00:27:36.200 this whole thing
00:27:36.640 has been taken over by Antifa.
00:27:40.040 You've got,
00:27:41.060 he did a profile,
00:27:42.180 a piece profiling
00:27:43.480 the many young people
00:27:45.980 who had already
00:27:46.740 committed some crimes
00:27:48.660 in some cases,
00:27:49.240 but who have now been charged
00:27:50.480 with felony domestic terrorism
00:27:52.020 and they're from out of state
00:27:54.140 and they're pampered children.
00:27:55.680 Francis Carroll, 22 of Maine,
00:27:57.520 had already been out on bail
00:27:59.500 for a domestic terrorism arrest
00:28:01.220 as a result of Francis's behavior
00:28:04.880 in Atlanta.
00:28:06.540 Francis is the son
00:28:07.340 of a yacht-sailing
00:28:08.140 multi-millionaire family
00:28:09.280 and hails from the wealthy
00:28:10.120 main city of Kennebunkport.
00:28:11.980 He had been living
00:28:12.920 in his parents' mansion
00:28:13.720 before going to Atlanta
00:28:14.760 and so on.
00:28:16.060 Then there's Madeline Henry Fiola,
00:28:17.840 22 of Spokane, Washington,
00:28:19.560 a trans non-binary activist,
00:28:22.100 2022 alumna
00:28:23.100 of Oberlin College,
00:28:24.280 of course,
00:28:24.620 where they studied
00:28:25.540 archaeological studies
00:28:27.060 with a focus on decolonization
00:28:28.640 from Portland, Oregon,
00:28:30.420 a wealthy suburb
00:28:31.280 of Happy Valley.
00:28:33.900 Then you've got
00:28:34.700 Emily Murphy
00:28:35.720 of Grosse Isle, Michigan,
00:28:37.560 middle-class vegan activist,
00:28:39.200 again, according to the Post,
00:28:40.820 who used to chair
00:28:42.320 Al Gore's
00:28:42.920 Climate Reality Project
00:28:44.260 organization
00:28:44.900 before becoming
00:28:46.380 further radicalized
00:28:47.280 into eco-ideology.
00:28:49.600 There's a guy named
00:28:50.320 Ivan Ferguson,
00:28:51.380 23,
00:28:51.700 of Henderson, Nevada,
00:28:52.980 award-winning,
00:28:53.540 classically trained clarinetist
00:28:54.940 who studied the prestigious
00:28:57.800 San Francisco Conservatory
00:28:59.120 of Music
00:28:59.760 before they decided
00:29:01.300 to cart into Atlanta
00:29:03.200 and cause
00:29:04.540 a ton of trouble there
00:29:06.640 as part of far-left
00:29:08.360 extremist behavior.
00:29:10.140 So,
00:29:10.720 that's what's happening there.
00:29:13.060 Bored kids
00:29:13.840 who have too much time
00:29:15.020 on their hands
00:29:15.580 and a ton of privilege
00:29:16.820 who want to go out there
00:29:18.500 and support people
00:29:19.740 who have shot cops
00:29:20.660 and these guys
00:29:21.980 are setting cop cars
00:29:23.000 on fire, etc.
00:29:24.460 How are we supposed
00:29:25.280 to view this?
00:29:26.740 I mean,
00:29:27.560 I would love to say
00:29:28.420 that I'm surprised by this,
00:29:29.700 but I'm not at all.
00:29:31.020 Every time that I go
00:29:31.820 to visit a college campus
00:29:32.980 to maybe tell my story
00:29:34.180 or talk about the state
00:29:35.220 of political discourse today,
00:29:36.600 I am met with protesters
00:29:37.800 and those protesters
00:29:38.720 are largely
00:29:39.640 highly educated,
00:29:41.340 supposedly highly educated,
00:29:42.960 white, privileged students
00:29:44.080 who come to take on
00:29:45.440 the names of people of color
00:29:47.620 and underprivileged people
00:29:48.880 and say that they're
00:29:49.540 fighting some battle
00:29:50.440 and that's exactly
00:29:51.220 what these Antifa kids
00:29:53.140 are doing.
00:29:53.820 They're essentially
00:29:54.680 children at this point
00:29:56.020 who are going out
00:29:56.960 throwing a tantrum
00:29:57.760 in the middle of the streets
00:29:58.640 and I can't think
00:29:59.660 of a worse way
00:30:00.500 to show the world
00:30:01.460 that you need less police
00:30:02.720 than setting cars on fire
00:30:04.660 and burning things
00:30:05.480 down to the ground
00:30:06.260 and looting
00:30:06.780 and stealing
00:30:07.240 and robbing
00:30:07.720 and all these things
00:30:08.580 that Antifa
00:30:09.520 and their fellow thugs
00:30:10.900 are engaging in.
00:30:12.280 Really,
00:30:12.620 they're proving
00:30:13.000 our point for us.
00:30:13.840 I will give them that
00:30:14.760 but it's a shame
00:30:15.600 that people are getting hurt
00:30:16.920 in the process.
00:30:18.020 Property is being damaged
00:30:19.260 but what they're doing
00:30:20.260 is exposing themselves
00:30:21.220 to rational,
00:30:22.160 reasonable people
00:30:22.820 which I believe
00:30:23.720 is still most of the world
00:30:25.420 and most of the United States
00:30:26.900 and they're going to be
00:30:28.160 brought to task.
00:30:29.140 It's very similar
00:30:29.880 to these Just Stop Oil protesters
00:30:32.340 that we're seeing
00:30:33.080 all around the world
00:30:34.240 who are throwing soup
00:30:35.660 at Van Gogh paintings.
00:30:37.200 They're always privileged
00:30:38.420 white kids,
00:30:39.520 highly educated,
00:30:40.660 who have never had
00:30:41.720 an ounce of oppression
00:30:43.780 in their lives.
00:30:44.980 Yes, yes.
00:30:45.860 Remember all the white women
00:30:47.220 from the Upper West Side
00:30:48.200 yelling at the Black cops
00:30:49.400 about how they were racists
00:30:50.680 during the BLM protest?
00:30:52.840 Right.
00:30:53.220 And that interesting fact
00:30:55.120 about Amala,
00:30:55.940 you once were of the left
00:30:57.640 and actually got,
00:30:58.400 I'm told,
00:30:58.820 a BLM tattoo.
00:31:00.740 Yeah.
00:31:01.120 You sort of came
00:31:01.860 to these realizations
00:31:02.740 very organically
00:31:03.740 but for a period of time
00:31:05.320 you've been sucked
00:31:05.900 into this weird ideology
00:31:06.960 before you actually
00:31:07.860 just paid attention
00:31:08.960 to the facts
00:31:09.520 and saw things differently.
00:31:11.760 Yeah, I mean,
00:31:12.320 regrettably I was
00:31:13.580 a very active member
00:31:15.220 of the left.
00:31:16.080 My BLM tattoo
00:31:17.000 for those of you watching
00:31:17.800 is on my arm here
00:31:19.080 and it's all because
00:31:20.720 my world was reduced down
00:31:22.180 to things like race and gender
00:31:23.500 and when you look
00:31:24.380 at the world
00:31:24.760 through that lens
00:31:25.460 you will find racism
00:31:26.620 and bigotry
00:31:27.400 where there is none
00:31:28.460 and you will seek out activism
00:31:30.020 because that's what you're taught.
00:31:31.440 You're taught that
00:31:31.960 you need to group together,
00:31:33.180 band together,
00:31:33.880 convince other people
00:31:34.840 of their oppression
00:31:35.900 and you need to fight
00:31:37.180 this white capitalist male
00:31:39.540 who's holding you all down
00:31:40.660 and you do that
00:31:41.220 by any means necessary
00:31:42.460 and that's why Antifa
00:31:43.920 claims to be tolerant
00:31:45.440 and non-violent
00:31:46.360 and is doing
00:31:46.920 all of this stuff
00:31:47.860 in the streets
00:31:48.320 burning things down,
00:31:49.340 killing people
00:31:49.980 because they are
00:31:51.340 essentially brainwashed
00:31:52.740 into thinking
00:31:53.300 that this is what
00:31:53.940 they need to do
00:31:54.660 to have a prosperous life
00:31:56.080 in the future
00:31:56.580 or at least create one
00:31:58.340 for generations to come.
00:32:00.620 But instead of,
00:32:01.600 you know,
00:32:02.140 where they're not actually
00:32:03.060 burning things down,
00:32:03.780 your lying eyes
00:32:04.420 are deceiving you
00:32:05.200 if that's what you saw.
00:32:06.340 I mean,
00:32:06.480 we did see
00:32:07.060 the burning cop cars
00:32:08.040 and the Atlanta police chief
00:32:09.760 says that they found
00:32:11.260 multiple protesters
00:32:12.100 with explosive devices
00:32:13.340 on them.
00:32:14.080 That's what was used
00:32:14.820 to set that
00:32:15.300 Atlanta police car on fire.
00:32:16.980 Some members
00:32:17.380 began smashing property.
00:32:18.800 They were throwing bricks
00:32:19.880 at Atlanta PD vehicles,
00:32:21.460 smashing property.
00:32:22.520 Some cops got hurt as well.
00:32:24.700 And yet,
00:32:26.160 you've got
00:32:27.000 David Peisner,
00:32:29.060 freelance journalist,
00:32:31.080 I'm putting that term
00:32:32.220 in air quotes,
00:32:33.620 on CNN,
00:32:34.380 who sees it this way.
00:32:37.160 I think that
00:32:38.280 there's a real
00:32:39.160 blurring of the lines
00:32:40.940 in the use
00:32:42.060 of the word violence.
00:32:44.020 Is property destruction
00:32:45.420 violence?
00:32:46.360 To some people,
00:32:47.180 it certainly is.
00:32:49.100 But,
00:32:50.020 you know,
00:32:51.180 this idea
00:32:52.140 that
00:32:52.680 breaking windows
00:32:54.360 or
00:32:55.160 other acts
00:32:56.700 of property destruction
00:32:57.580 are the same
00:32:58.980 as
00:32:59.800 actual
00:33:01.360 violence
00:33:02.260 against humans.
00:33:03.540 You know,
00:33:03.740 you keep using
00:33:04.380 these words,
00:33:04.920 violent,
00:33:05.360 violent,
00:33:05.720 violent,
00:33:06.080 violent.
00:33:07.340 And
00:33:07.820 it gives the impression,
00:33:10.020 I mean,
00:33:10.140 the only violence
00:33:11.060 that,
00:33:11.900 or the only acts
00:33:13.500 of violence
00:33:14.380 against people
00:33:15.420 that I saw
00:33:16.320 were actually
00:33:17.200 police tackling
00:33:18.240 protests.
00:33:19.000 pay no attention
00:33:21.300 to those bombs
00:33:22.100 that they have
00:33:22.880 on them,
00:33:23.400 Evita.
00:33:23.940 That's,
00:33:24.280 that's not,
00:33:25.280 it's not really
00:33:25.660 violent if you just
00:33:26.480 throw it on the cop car.
00:33:27.880 Like,
00:33:28.500 were the cops
00:33:28.900 actually in it?
00:33:29.700 Was anybody?
00:33:30.400 So,
00:33:30.680 no,
00:33:30.980 it's fine.
00:33:31.780 Your thoughts?
00:33:33.560 This,
00:33:33.940 this kind of denialism,
00:33:34.840 it actually makes me
00:33:35.920 pretty mad.
00:33:36.940 I,
00:33:37.780 it's,
00:33:38.340 for us on the right,
00:33:39.060 I think we look at them
00:33:39.880 in these kind of
00:33:40.720 crazy hairstyles
00:33:41.800 and they're gendered,
00:33:42.780 you know,
00:33:43.320 queer and non-conforming
00:33:44.880 and all this stuff,
00:33:45.420 and it can be easy
00:33:45.980 to sort of dismiss them
00:33:46.900 and say,
00:33:47.200 you know,
00:33:47.380 they're,
00:33:47.760 they're not that much
00:33:48.380 of a threat.
00:33:48.840 They're confused
00:33:49.260 about who they are,
00:33:50.040 right?
00:33:50.300 And the truth is
00:33:51.400 that they are a real threat.
00:33:52.360 This is a terrorist
00:33:53.180 organization.
00:33:54.400 In 2020,
00:33:55.420 I,
00:33:55.760 I went to Kenosha,
00:33:56.540 Wisconsin and did
00:33:57.400 reporting after
00:33:58.900 the shooting of Jacob Blake
00:34:00.180 and the first night,
00:34:03.000 the,
00:34:03.540 the people in the community
00:34:04.520 were there.
00:34:05.180 There was a peaceful protest.
00:34:06.720 They held up signs.
00:34:07.520 They were upset
00:34:07.920 about what happened.
00:34:09.160 Once the Antifa protesters
00:34:10.820 from,
00:34:11.620 from Portland
00:34:12.160 started to pour
00:34:13.620 into the city,
00:34:14.440 then things got bad.
00:34:15.700 They burned down
00:34:16.500 the entire
00:34:17.420 uptown
00:34:18.880 Kenosha,
00:34:20.060 Kenosha area.
00:34:22.280 Millions of dollars
00:34:23.040 in damage.
00:34:23.600 This is a,
00:34:24.120 a,
00:34:24.460 a very small community.
00:34:25.800 And,
00:34:26.080 and this is happening.
00:34:27.080 I mean,
00:34:27.220 it has happened in Kenosha
00:34:28.040 and it's,
00:34:28.340 it's close to my heart.
00:34:29.280 I live near there.
00:34:30.360 Right.
00:34:30.800 And I,
00:34:31.060 I think that's the same
00:34:31.840 for many Americans
00:34:32.460 across the country.
00:34:33.100 People that live in Atlanta,
00:34:34.120 terrorized by these
00:34:35.460 privileged,
00:34:36.300 awful,
00:34:36.920 snobbish children.
00:34:38.800 And,
00:34:39.260 and we'd like,
00:34:40.080 we,
00:34:40.200 we are dismissing them,
00:34:41.320 right?
00:34:41.480 A lot of people on the right
00:34:42.240 because they're crazy.
00:34:43.040 We think they're crazy,
00:34:43.660 but also people on the left
00:34:45.060 saying that they're not
00:34:45.640 that dangerous.
00:34:46.180 And the truth is they are,
00:34:47.200 and we need to start calling
00:34:47.960 them for what they are,
00:34:48.680 which is terrorists.
00:34:50.000 Yeah.
00:34:50.240 You know who used to,
00:34:51.160 who used the same defense
00:34:52.400 of I only damaged property?
00:34:54.300 Bill Ayers,
00:34:55.200 founder of the Weather Underground.
00:34:56.580 They blew up a lot of buildings
00:34:57.540 and they blew up a lot of people.
00:34:59.400 That's how it goes.
00:35:00.780 So we ignore this kind of violence
00:35:02.420 at our own risk.
00:35:03.780 All right.
00:35:04.140 Much,
00:35:04.400 much more to get to,
00:35:05.120 including this person
00:35:06.160 who went completely viral online
00:35:07.680 for claiming she was being harassed
00:35:09.100 by some guy at a gym.

00:35:45.620 I don't know who Jessica Fernandez is.
00:35:52.080 However,
00:35:52.640 I'm told she's a
00:35:53.580 Twitch partner.
00:35:55.820 Okay,
00:35:55.960 I don't know.
00:35:56.820 All I know is she posted
00:35:57.720 this absurd video
00:35:58.700 and it now has over
00:36:00.060 40 million views on Twitter,
00:36:02.240 over 660,000 on TikTok
00:36:05.220 and I could go on.
00:36:06.720 Now,
00:36:06.900 for the listening audience,
00:36:08.280 stay with me
00:36:08.800 because
00:36:09.160 she's hard to hear
00:36:10.740 and it's not going to be
00:36:11.740 that meaningful to you.
00:36:12.540 It's more meaningful
00:36:13.080 to the YouTubers,
00:36:13.740 but I'm going to explain
00:36:14.620 to the listening audience
00:36:15.440 what we're seeing.
00:36:17.100 It's this young woman
00:36:18.420 in the gym
00:36:20.200 in like,
00:36:21.060 you know,
00:36:21.480 I wouldn't say she's
00:36:23.140 covered up.
00:36:24.420 She's got sort of
00:36:24.960 the skimpy gym outfit on.
00:36:26.800 She's doing her little workout,
00:36:28.440 like her hip thrusts
00:36:29.780 and in the back,
00:36:30.620 you see a man
00:36:31.600 who's,
00:36:32.640 I think,
00:36:33.380 minding his own business
00:36:35.060 and as I can count it,
00:36:36.540 maybe once
00:36:37.300 looks over at her.
00:36:38.580 She's filming herself
00:36:40.260 muttering expletives
00:36:42.040 into her camera,
00:36:43.680 her microphone,
00:36:44.280 which she's holding
00:36:44.840 and then he comes over
00:36:46.760 and offers to help her
00:36:47.760 reload the weights.
00:36:49.520 Here it is.
00:36:50.160 Jessica.
00:37:20.160 is outraged over this.
00:37:22.220 Again,
00:37:22.600 literally,
00:37:22.920 if you watch this online,
00:37:23.640 you'll see him look at her,
00:37:24.660 I think,
00:37:25.000 one time from,
00:37:26.340 and probably because
00:37:27.520 she's holding
00:37:28.220 a big camera up.
00:37:29.740 Okay,
00:37:30.280 these are her tweets,
00:37:31.360 gals.
00:37:32.440 This guy kept making me
00:37:34.380 extremely uncomfortable
00:37:35.740 at the gym.
00:37:36.760 This is why
00:37:37.500 I'll end up crying
00:37:38.560 on stream
00:37:39.200 because I feel
00:37:40.160 so grossed out
00:37:40.940 at times
00:37:41.340 with the amount
00:37:41.840 of sexualization
00:37:42.740 I experience.
00:37:44.040 Hopefully,
00:37:44.400 this spreads awareness
00:37:45.180 for girls who experience
00:37:46.240 this type of treatment
00:37:47.040 at the gym.
00:37:48.240 And she goes on,
00:37:49.700 I can see how this
00:37:50.740 makes me look like
00:37:51.480 I have an inflated ego,
00:37:52.420 but I am an attractive girl
00:37:54.640 in a beauty standard sense
00:37:56.440 and I get extremely
00:37:57.640 sexually harassed online
00:37:59.260 and it makes trusting
00:38:00.540 random strangers
00:38:01.400 that approach me
00:38:02.300 trigger my trauma.
00:38:04.820 Oh my God.
00:38:05.860 Which is why
00:38:06.740 I respond this way.
00:38:08.660 Then she goes on to add,
00:38:09.580 I'm also extremely antisocial
00:38:11.420 and being hit on
00:38:12.460 is never a compliment to me.
00:38:14.000 I despise being sexualized.
00:38:17.440 So,
00:38:18.520 raise your hand
00:38:19.240 if you believe
00:38:20.400 any of that.
00:38:21.720 If you believe
00:38:22.240 one word
00:38:22.900 of what she just tweeted.
00:38:24.720 No,
00:38:25.260 no hands up.
00:38:25.920 No,
00:38:26.340 no hands up,
00:38:27.840 Amala,
00:38:28.360 because she clearly
00:38:29.340 does not mind
00:38:29.900 being sexualized.
00:38:30.820 It seems to be
00:38:31.440 her bread and butter,
00:38:32.400 but she loves
00:38:33.340 to play the victim.
00:38:35.000 Oh yeah,
00:38:35.660 this is peak
00:38:36.240 victimhood culture
00:38:37.100 and we're seeing it
00:38:37.900 all over the place now.
00:38:39.000 If you go to that girl's
00:38:39.940 Instagram,
00:38:40.500 you'll see pictures
00:38:41.200 of her butt
00:38:42.160 in the mirror.
00:38:42.880 You'll see her
00:38:43.340 in a Playboy bunny costume.
00:38:44.840 So,
00:38:45.040 she really hates
00:38:45.680 being sexualized,
00:38:46.700 by people on the internet.
00:38:48.000 She despises it.
00:38:49.200 And really,
00:38:49.860 what this is,
00:38:50.840 and in a broader sense,
00:38:52.300 is such a disservice
00:38:53.320 to women
00:38:53.840 because there are
00:38:54.720 actual women
00:38:55.440 who go to the gym
00:38:56.320 and who maybe
00:38:57.280 are harassed by men
00:38:58.340 or maybe there are
00:38:59.160 perverts who are
00:38:59.780 coming up to these women
00:39:00.560 and trying to engage
00:39:01.440 in some sort of activity
00:39:02.520 that we would view
00:39:03.200 as unsavory.
00:39:04.300 But because you are,
00:39:05.740 we are in this
00:39:06.300 believe all women phase
00:39:07.720 where you can quite literally
00:39:08.740 take a video
00:39:09.440 of a man doing no wrong,
00:39:11.260 post it on the internet,
00:39:12.480 accuse him of doing wrong,
00:39:13.520 and have him be attacked.
00:39:15.040 It's just like
00:39:15.760 we do not know
00:39:16.700 our heads
00:39:17.240 from our asses anymore
00:39:18.240 in this culture.
00:39:20.180 And she deserves
00:39:21.200 to be called out for it
00:39:22.340 and she has been luckily.
00:39:24.260 Yes,
00:39:24.780 Evita,
00:39:25.120 she's got,
00:39:26.300 it's a fan house account
00:39:28.680 which is apparently
00:39:29.420 a competitor
00:39:30.120 to OnlyFans
00:39:31.160 where you go on there
00:39:31.820 and you post
00:39:32.240 all this saucy stuff
00:39:33.240 because you want
00:39:34.140 to be admired
00:39:34.720 and charge people for it.
00:39:37.280 And she's like,
00:39:38.160 all DMs will be
00:39:38.980 responded to directly.
00:39:40.120 And so,
00:39:40.860 okay,
00:39:41.160 so this person
00:39:42.080 is not
00:39:42.920 someone who
00:39:45.160 despises being,
00:39:47.400 despises being sexualized
00:39:49.320 and feels so grossed out
00:39:50.580 at times
00:39:50.860 with the amount
00:39:51.240 of sexualization
00:39:52.080 she experiences.
00:39:53.180 She's experiencing it
00:39:54.340 because she's,
00:39:54.900 she's asking,
00:39:56.240 she's literally putting out
00:39:57.300 sexualized content
00:39:58.580 and asking people
00:39:59.600 to message her about it.
00:40:01.600 She's clearly not
00:40:02.920 someone who cares
00:40:03.780 about being sexualized
00:40:04.760 whatsoever.
00:40:05.720 Otherwise,
00:40:06.140 she'd make money
00:40:06.720 in a different way.
00:40:07.880 But I think
00:40:08.820 what was so interesting
00:40:09.780 is the phrasing,
00:40:10.680 right?
00:40:10.880 She said that
00:40:11.600 he's making me
00:40:12.380 so uncomfortable.
00:40:13.120 She feels so,
00:40:14.180 so scared
00:40:15.000 and terrified
00:40:15.580 and traumatized
00:40:16.560 by the whole thing.
00:40:17.860 The only person
00:40:18.620 that's making people
00:40:19.860 in the gym uncomfortable
00:40:20.920 are the people
00:40:21.920 that record themselves
00:40:22.820 in the gym
00:40:23.440 and then you're
00:40:23.900 in their shop.
00:40:24.820 I've gone to the gym
00:40:25.480 with several people
00:40:26.400 calling Paul.
00:40:27.380 I go to the gym
00:40:28.340 and people,
00:40:29.020 especially newbies,
00:40:29.780 they don't want
00:40:30.080 to be recorded
00:40:30.740 while they're trying
00:40:31.340 to work out.
00:40:32.100 And these like
00:40:33.300 excessively narcissistic
00:40:35.880 gym culture girls
00:40:38.040 will come to the gym
00:40:38.920 with their cameras
00:40:39.580 and their lighting
00:40:40.160 and their makeup
00:40:40.760 on while they're
00:40:41.300 working out
00:40:41.860 and expect all of us
00:40:43.400 to step out of frame.
00:40:44.620 It's ridiculous.
00:40:45.660 She's the one
00:40:46.260 making people uncomfortable.
00:40:47.300 This man was clearly
00:40:48.040 minding his own business
00:40:48.960 and it was so wrong
00:40:50.020 of her to put him
00:40:50.580 on blast
00:40:51.080 for the whole internet
00:40:52.940 to then call him
00:40:54.080 some creep
00:40:54.740 when again,
00:40:55.420 the real weirdo
00:40:56.240 is her
00:40:56.700 for recording
00:40:57.440 everyone in the gym.
00:40:58.720 Right.
00:40:59.360 I haven't been
00:41:00.020 to a gym forever.
00:41:00.920 Otherwise,
00:41:01.240 I'd probably know
00:41:01.740 about this trend.
00:41:02.460 But how uncomfortable.
00:41:03.660 No,
00:41:03.800 I wouldn't want
00:41:04.220 to be somebody's
00:41:04.860 background
00:41:05.280 of their live stream
00:41:07.200 or their video shot.
00:41:08.100 And she falsely
00:41:09.580 maligned this guy.
00:41:10.460 I mean,
00:41:10.620 it would have been
00:41:10.980 even worse for him
00:41:11.780 maybe if she didn't
00:41:12.940 have the camera
00:41:13.520 and she went online
00:41:14.720 and did one of the tearful
00:41:15.840 like,
00:41:16.280 I got sexualized,
00:41:17.520 I got harassed
00:41:18.280 and then we'd be
00:41:18.760 wondering like,
00:41:19.740 who did this,
00:41:20.620 right?
00:41:20.820 Like this guy,
00:41:21.820 whatever,
00:41:22.500 his name might have
00:41:23.620 come out,
00:41:24.000 he would have been
00:41:24.360 unfairly smeared.
00:41:25.900 This ladies is why,
00:41:27.980 this is why
00:41:28.800 we have a headline
00:41:29.600 in the news today,
00:41:30.440 which I mean,
00:41:31.640 it'll come to the
00:41:32.560 surprise of nobody.
00:41:33.780 Time's Up is closing.
00:41:35.100 It's done.
00:41:36.100 It's officially done.
00:41:37.360 I don't know if you knew
00:41:37.900 it was still around,
00:41:39.140 but there's a reason
00:41:40.920 that Time's Up
00:41:41.820 was not able
00:41:42.360 to sustain itself.
00:41:44.200 This organization
00:41:44.940 that was so lauded,
00:41:46.480 $24 million of money
00:41:48.040 poured into that organization
00:41:49.340 in 2018
00:41:50.380 when they first formed
00:41:51.820 at the height
00:41:52.200 of the Me Too movement
00:41:53.040 with an original mission
00:41:54.900 that was noble,
00:41:56.360 right?
00:41:56.600 To help women
00:41:57.100 who had been harassed
00:41:57.740 in the workplace
00:41:58.160 fight back,
00:41:59.140 fight for their legal rights
00:42:00.100 and boy,
00:42:01.020 did they run far afield.
00:42:02.400 Just to take you back
00:42:03.360 on the messaging
00:42:04.820 when this thing
00:42:05.380 was first born
00:42:06.040 and the amount
00:42:06.400 of star power
00:42:07.280 behind it,
00:42:08.300 this is, I think,
00:42:08.840 the Golden Globes 2018.
00:42:11.520 One, two, three.
00:42:13.760 Time's Up!
00:42:15.200 So I want all the girls
00:42:16.580 watching here now
00:42:18.240 to know
00:42:18.840 that a new day
00:42:20.700 is on the horizon.
00:42:23.220 Folks,
00:42:24.000 Time's Up!
00:42:24.920 I have daughters.
00:42:25.880 Like, I don't want
00:42:26.440 this stuff happening.
00:42:27.100 I thought that I would
00:42:27.780 have to raise my daughter
00:42:28.940 to learn how
00:42:29.920 to protect herself
00:42:30.760 and defend herself
00:42:31.580 against the world
00:42:32.480 and what I've realized
00:42:34.660 is that we can hand
00:42:36.140 our daughters
00:42:36.600 a different world.
00:42:37.600 It's very, very
00:42:38.980 beautiful and exciting
00:42:40.840 and saying
00:42:41.680 that time is up.
00:42:42.700 Even in the music business,
00:42:44.020 we haven't even touched
00:42:44.840 that ball of wax
00:42:47.440 or whatever we want
00:42:48.480 to call it.
00:42:49.100 A lot of things
00:42:49.780 have come out
00:42:50.360 of the darkness
00:42:50.840 and into the light.
00:42:51.880 So I think right now
00:42:53.080 we have the chance
00:42:53.960 to be heard
00:42:54.560 and that's why
00:42:55.160 we're doing it.
00:42:56.320 We're all doing it
00:42:57.380 because we're asking
00:42:58.260 to try and elicit change.
00:43:01.480 You know what?
00:43:03.120 No one has spoken up now.
00:43:05.540 This organization
00:43:06.640 is halting its operations.
00:43:07.780 It's giving the paltry amount
00:43:08.920 like 1.7 million bucks
00:43:10.220 it has left
00:43:10.720 to its legal defense fund.
00:43:12.140 And none of those actresses
00:43:13.540 that I remember
00:43:14.620 came out
00:43:15.720 when this organization
00:43:16.660 was imploding.
00:43:18.200 Why?
00:43:19.260 Because
00:43:19.740 when Andrew Cuomo
00:43:21.400 got accused,
00:43:23.240 they sided with him.
00:43:25.220 They advised him,
00:43:26.460 not those women,
00:43:27.080 but the head of Time's Up
00:43:28.320 at the time,
00:43:29.260 advised,
00:43:30.060 I think her name
00:43:30.500 was Tina Chen,
00:43:31.360 I'm trying to check it,
00:43:32.180 and Roberta Kaplan.
00:43:33.780 They advised him
00:43:35.020 behind the scenes
00:43:36.200 and then Chen
00:43:37.100 initially discouraged
00:43:38.140 other Time's Up leaders
00:43:39.100 from commenting publicly
00:43:40.160 on the allegations
00:43:40.960 being brought against him
00:43:41.820 by Lindsay Boylan
00:43:43.020 and others.
00:43:43.820 They sided with him.
00:43:45.860 Why?
00:43:46.620 Because he's a Democrat.
00:43:48.040 You and I both know it.
00:43:49.200 And it wasn't
00:43:49.880 just this incident.
00:43:50.800 It was when Tara Reid
00:43:51.940 came out and accused
00:43:52.800 Joe Biden
00:43:53.400 and she went
00:43:54.420 to Time's Up
00:43:55.180 and what's her name?
00:43:57.120 Anita Dunn,
00:43:58.340 who's running
00:43:59.000 Biden's communication,
00:44:00.120 was running
00:44:00.420 their communication
00:44:01.260 and suddenly Time's Up
00:44:02.760 didn't have the time
00:44:03.520 to help Tara Reid
00:44:05.380 in her quest
00:44:06.540 against who?
00:44:07.620 Another Democrat.
00:44:09.580 This organization
00:44:10.620 embarrassed itself.
00:44:12.060 They were the
00:44:12.660 Believe All Women crew.
00:44:14.060 They crushed
00:44:15.200 Brett Kavanaugh
00:44:16.020 with allegations
00:44:16.760 that were laughable
00:44:18.380 from people
00:44:19.120 like Julie Swetnick
00:44:20.240 and they did this
00:44:21.640 to themselves
00:44:22.320 and I want to hear
00:44:23.400 those actresses
00:44:24.160 come out and say
00:44:24.880 they're sorry
00:44:25.640 and that they'll fund
00:44:26.760 a new organization
00:44:27.860 that gets back
00:44:29.060 to mission focus
00:44:29.860 of helping anyone
00:44:31.140 whether they're
00:44:32.100 accusing a Democrat
00:44:33.000 or a Republican
00:44:33.860 who has been harassed
00:44:34.980 at the office.
00:44:36.100 Otherwise,
00:44:36.760 they can pound sand.
00:44:38.760 I wouldn't take their money
00:44:39.680 and I wouldn't have
00:44:40.360 the association with them.
00:44:41.780 I'm fired up about this
00:44:42.800 because it had a good cause.
00:44:44.580 It could have helped
00:44:45.160 a lot of people
00:44:45.740 and instead
00:44:46.540 they went partisan
00:44:47.960 and that's why
00:44:48.880 they imploded.
00:44:50.780 Okay, Amala,
00:44:51.920 thoughts on that?
00:44:53.980 Yeah, how do I follow that?
00:44:55.300 I will say that
00:44:56.060 with Time's Up
00:44:57.040 and Hashtag Me Too,
00:44:58.160 these are movements
00:44:58.940 for the moment.
00:44:59.760 It's only meant
00:45:00.440 for the moment
00:45:00.880 that they say them
00:45:01.640 and they want
00:45:02.220 to virtue signal.
00:45:03.340 They want to go
00:45:03.760 to the Golden Globes
00:45:04.640 and wear their pins
00:45:05.480 and talk about
00:45:06.040 how important this is
00:45:06.840 to them
00:45:07.120 and it never lasts.
00:45:08.500 It becomes partial
00:45:09.320 to political parties,
00:45:11.320 partial to females
00:45:13.200 instead of men
00:45:13.980 who come forward.
00:45:14.700 Look at the story
00:45:15.200 of Terry Crews
00:45:16.000 who tried to join
00:45:16.680 the Me Too movement
00:45:17.400 and the Time's Up movement
00:45:18.360 and was ridiculed
00:45:19.340 for being a man.
00:45:20.240 Hopping into the space,
00:45:21.840 they don't care
00:45:22.600 for actual looking
00:45:24.380 into evidence
00:45:25.080 and allegations
00:45:25.720 and they are partial
00:45:26.940 to women
00:45:27.540 who make false allegations
00:45:28.680 as we've seen
00:45:29.260 with Amber Heard
00:45:30.100 and many other women
00:45:31.260 much like the lady
00:45:32.340 we just saw
00:45:32.960 in the gym.
00:45:33.760 What they do
00:45:34.400 is they do
00:45:34.860 what feels good to them,
00:45:36.180 they do what furthers
00:45:36.980 their own agenda
00:45:37.860 and I will say
00:45:38.800 much like you said Megan,
00:45:40.220 the Time's Up movement
00:45:41.020 and the Me Too movement
00:45:41.800 could have been
00:45:42.340 something good.
00:45:43.260 We were correcting
00:45:43.900 for past wrongs
00:45:45.000 and past transgressions
00:45:46.080 but sometimes
00:45:46.940 you overcorrect
00:45:48.120 and your mind
00:45:48.660 can be so open
00:45:49.480 that your brain
00:45:49.960 falls out
00:45:50.460 and that's what
00:45:51.160 happened with Time's Up
00:45:52.040 so you won't hear
00:45:52.640 them saying it anymore,
00:45:53.700 you won't hear them
00:45:54.480 saying hashtag Me Too anymore
00:45:55.920 because the movement
00:45:56.860 exists in the moment
00:45:57.720 and they move on.
00:45:59.140 The Believe All Women thing
00:46:00.420 was the first death knell
00:46:02.380 to Me Too.
00:46:03.160 That was the first death knell
00:46:04.300 during the Justice Cabinet.
00:46:05.480 You just have to
00:46:06.480 knee-jerk Believe All Women
00:46:07.600 because we don't lie,
00:46:09.000 I guess,
00:46:09.240 because we got the double X
00:46:10.260 instead of the XO.
00:46:11.240 Right, okay.
00:46:11.940 Everybody knew
00:46:12.520 that's not how it worked
00:46:13.320 but then to actually
00:46:14.860 put a point on it
00:46:15.580 by denying the pleas
00:46:17.560 of women who had been
00:46:18.540 hurt by Democrats,
00:46:20.020 there was no surviving that.
00:46:21.720 There really wasn't.
00:46:22.500 I mean, the women
00:46:23.380 who went to Time's Up
00:46:24.220 weren't all Democrats.
00:46:25.480 They weren't all Republicans.
00:46:26.500 They were women
00:46:26.900 who were hurting
00:46:27.420 and this organization
00:46:28.100 had no time for them.
00:46:29.560 They only had time
00:46:30.240 for their own partisan politics.
00:46:31.460 We've seen it in industry
00:46:32.560 after industry.
00:46:33.840 When you're not
00:46:34.380 on the right side
00:46:35.260 of their woke battle,
00:46:36.780 you're nothing to them.
00:46:37.520 They don't care.
00:46:38.440 If you're Black
00:46:39.900 and you have
00:46:41.300 a heterodox view
00:46:42.500 of BLM
00:46:43.320 like you do, Amala,
00:46:44.280 forget it.
00:46:44.840 They don't care.
00:46:45.720 You'll get called
00:46:46.440 all the names.
00:46:47.160 And if you're for a woman
00:46:48.000 who's accusing a Democrat,
00:46:49.440 you're nothing to them.
00:46:52.280 Right.
00:46:52.760 They take everything
00:46:53.600 that they see,
00:46:54.740 all these stories,
00:46:55.560 and they essentially
00:46:56.200 throw them through a filter.
00:46:57.400 And if you don't come out
00:46:58.480 on the other end,
00:46:59.100 guess what?
00:46:59.460 You're not protected
00:47:00.100 by their movement.
00:47:00.900 They do not care
00:47:01.440 for your opinion.
00:47:02.340 They do not care
00:47:02.920 for your trauma,
00:47:03.740 even though they all
00:47:04.960 talk about how traumatized
00:47:06.320 they are.
00:47:06.900 All of it goes
00:47:07.620 through the filter.
00:47:08.300 And if you don't come out
00:47:09.020 on the other end,
00:47:09.680 you better believe
00:47:10.360 you're not going
00:47:10.760 to be protected by them.
00:47:12.700 I'll say this.
00:47:14.060 I have a lawyer
00:47:15.280 named Brian Friedman,
00:47:16.700 and he's a killer.
00:47:18.680 And if you have a good case,
00:47:20.100 like, he will kill for you.
00:47:21.340 He will.
00:47:22.000 And if somebody brings
00:47:22.800 a false case against you,
00:47:24.180 he will kill for you.
00:47:25.200 That's what you need.
00:47:25.880 Find a good lawyer.
00:47:27.020 Find yourself a good lawyer.
00:47:28.300 Don't join these organizations,
00:47:29.860 honestly,
00:47:30.160 because this is what happens.
00:47:31.580 They get corrupted.
00:47:32.600 And then where's Reese Witherspoon?
00:47:34.320 You know, Evita,
00:47:34.800 she's out there.
00:47:35.800 She wasn't one of the soundbites
00:47:36.880 we played,
00:47:37.200 but she was big
00:47:37.840 in Time's Up.
00:47:38.800 Where's she coming out there
00:47:39.940 to say,
00:47:40.580 you're bullshit?
00:47:41.760 You know,
00:47:42.020 I'm pissed.
00:47:43.500 I put my name on this
00:47:44.740 and I helped you.
00:47:45.700 Like, all these women,
00:47:47.000 Oprah,
00:47:47.820 where's she now
00:47:48.480 to help do the cleanup on this?
00:47:50.720 Yeah, I think it was set up
00:47:51.920 to fail from the very beginning,
00:47:53.100 right?
00:47:53.360 I mean,
00:47:53.760 none of these women
00:47:54.580 are bipartisan champions
00:47:56.980 of women's rights
00:47:57.500 from the very beginning,
00:47:58.340 right?
00:47:58.540 I mean,
00:47:58.760 they could have come forward
00:48:00.320 a long time ago.
00:48:01.080 I think a lot of these
00:48:01.820 major celebrities
00:48:02.500 could have come forward
00:48:03.120 a long time ago
00:48:03.680 and none of them did.
00:48:04.340 And then when Me Too came out,
00:48:05.860 now they said,
00:48:06.280 we're going to band together
00:48:07.120 and start this whole movement together.
00:48:09.940 And my question,
00:48:11.240 I mean,
00:48:11.420 I guess people are,
00:48:13.020 there are victims out there
00:48:13.900 and there are also people
00:48:14.660 who were compliant in all this.
00:48:15.980 And I just wonder
00:48:16.640 how many people knew stuff
00:48:18.720 was happening
00:48:19.200 and then didn't do anything
00:48:20.200 based off of the way
00:48:21.640 Time's Up has turned out,
00:48:23.080 right?
00:48:23.360 I mean,
00:48:23.600 that they've turned their backs
00:48:25.200 on so many women
00:48:26.080 who needed help
00:48:26.800 based off of partisan politics.
00:48:29.100 And the moral bankruptcy
00:48:30.840 of that just makes me think
00:48:32.100 how many more people
00:48:33.240 turned to them in the past
00:48:34.280 before they started
00:48:35.020 this whole virtue signaling organization.
00:48:38.020 Yeah.
00:48:38.400 I mean,
00:48:38.700 listen,
00:48:38.960 if their business
00:48:39.620 is to help people
00:48:40.400 like Jessica Fernandez,
00:48:42.000 thank God they're gone.
00:48:42.940 They shouldn't come back
00:48:44.120 in any way,
00:48:44.760 shape or form.
00:48:45.260 We don't need that.
00:48:45.960 We need legitimate,
00:48:47.240 honest lawyers
00:48:47.740 helping women
00:48:48.340 who have legitimate,
00:48:49.280 honest claims
00:48:49.700 and guys too
00:48:50.480 who can suffer
00:48:51.380 from the same problem
00:48:52.680 and no sweeping narratives.
00:48:55.500 No,
00:48:55.680 no all men are bad.
00:48:56.880 No believe all women.
00:48:57.940 None of it.
00:48:59.280 That's not the way
00:48:59.960 this was ever meant to go.
00:49:01.320 It's been such a pleasure,
00:49:02.540 you guys.
00:49:02.880 Thank you so much
00:49:03.400 for being here.
00:49:04.880 Thanks for having us.
00:49:06.380 Let's do it again.
00:49:07.220 I really enjoyed it.
00:49:11.960 Prince Andrew
00:49:12.840 is reportedly preparing
00:49:14.160 to mount a new battle
00:49:15.680 to get his accuser
00:49:17.520 in connection
00:49:18.100 with the Jeffrey Epstein scandal
00:49:19.980 to retract her allegations
00:49:21.960 against him
00:49:22.700 and apologize.
00:49:24.400 This years after
00:49:25.920 he entered into a settlement
00:49:27.660 with said accuser.
00:49:29.180 This is pretty much
00:49:30.240 over and done with.
00:49:31.380 So why would he be trying
00:49:32.840 to reopen it?
00:49:34.800 My guest today
00:49:35.440 is one of the most
00:49:36.180 well-connected
00:49:37.140 and respected
00:49:37.800 royal reporters
00:49:38.740 in the UK.
00:49:40.260 He has covered the monarchy
00:49:41.300 for a quarter of a century.
00:49:43.580 He broke the report
00:49:44.560 about the allegations
00:49:45.420 of bullying
00:49:46.300 by Meghan Markle
00:49:47.780 against her staff.

00:49:52.960 Courtiers.
00:49:53.780 Intrigue,
00:49:55.420 Ambition,
00:49:56.460 and the power players
00:49:57.500 behind the House
00:49:58.600 of Windsor.
00:49:59.900 Valentine,
00:50:00.400 what a pleasure
00:50:00.880 to have you here.
00:50:01.560 Welcome to the show.
00:50:03.020 Thank you very much.
00:50:03.620 Thank you for having me on.
00:50:04.900 So let's start
00:50:05.800 with Prince Andrew
00:50:06.960 since this news
00:50:08.060 is brand new.
00:50:10.140 Ghislaine Maxwell
00:50:11.100 giving an interview
00:50:12.020 from behind bars
00:50:13.820 and it aired
00:50:15.600 last night
00:50:16.500 in the UK
00:50:17.480 saying a lot of things,
00:50:19.660 a lot of things,
00:50:21.080 but providing
00:50:21.780 some help
00:50:22.660 to Prince Andrew
00:50:24.080 who of course
00:50:24.980 has been
00:50:25.700 sort of booted out
00:50:27.060 as a working royal
00:50:28.660 in the wake
00:50:30.180 of this scandal.
00:50:31.040 He was friends
00:50:31.500 with Jeffrey Epstein.
00:50:32.900 He went to see
00:50:33.700 Jeffrey Epstein
00:50:34.400 even after Epstein
00:50:35.580 had pleaded guilty
00:50:36.520 in connection
00:50:37.600 with some of his behavior
00:50:38.900 toward young women.
00:50:40.280 And it's been a stain
00:50:42.020 around the royal family,
00:50:43.360 around Prince Andrew
00:50:44.260 for years now.
00:50:45.780 Ghislaine Maxwell
00:50:46.380 convicted on
00:50:47.120 her own charges
00:50:48.500 of facilitating
00:50:49.680 sexual assaults
00:50:50.940 against young women
00:50:51.680 as Jeffrey Epstein's
00:50:53.060 partner,
00:50:54.040 at times romantic,
00:50:55.080 at times business,
00:50:55.880 at times I don't know
00:50:57.020 how else to explain
00:50:57.820 the remainder
00:50:58.280 of their relationship.
00:50:59.680 But here is what
00:51:00.940 she now says
00:51:01.940 about this infamous photo
00:51:03.820 that many of us
00:51:05.040 have seen.
00:51:05.640 This young woman,
00:51:06.620 Virginia Giuffre,
00:51:07.600 accused Prince Andrew
00:51:09.180 of helping traffic her,
00:51:11.860 of sexually abusing her.
00:51:13.360 at least three times
00:51:15.180 a long time ago.
00:51:18.900 And there is one photograph
00:51:20.580 of the two of them,
00:51:22.080 Virginia and Prince Andrew,
00:51:23.720 allegedly at Ghislaine Maxwell's
00:51:25.140 home in the UK.
00:51:27.500 Some have suggested
00:51:28.540 it's a fake.
00:51:29.120 Prince Andrew said that.
00:51:30.340 And Ghislaine Maxwell
00:51:31.160 providing some support
00:51:32.600 for that.
00:51:32.980 Here she is last night.
00:51:34.160 I don't believe it's real
00:51:36.760 for a second.
00:51:37.800 In fact,
00:51:38.140 I'm sure it's not.
00:51:39.380 There's never been
00:51:39.920 an original.
00:51:41.180 And further,
00:51:42.360 there's no photograph.
00:51:44.200 And I've only ever seen
00:51:45.240 a photocopy of it.
00:51:47.100 She doesn't believe
00:51:48.380 it's real.
00:51:49.100 She thinks it's fake.
00:51:51.120 And this news breaks
00:51:52.860 as we hear that Prince Andrew
00:51:53.900 may be seeking to undo
00:51:55.180 the settlement agreement
00:51:56.100 that he entered into
00:51:57.380 with Giuffre
00:51:57.940 a couple years back.
00:51:59.320 What do you make of all of it?
00:52:00.760 Well,
00:52:01.200 there's so much to say.
00:52:02.180 And one is,
00:52:02.680 you talk about
00:52:03.640 Ghislaine Maxwell
00:52:04.560 giving him help from jail.
00:52:06.460 I'm not sure how helpful
00:52:07.500 her interview is.
00:52:09.460 She's a convicted felon.
00:52:12.200 And what she has to say
00:52:13.100 about the photograph,
00:52:14.360 I mean,
00:52:15.340 people connected to Andrew
00:52:16.720 have been trying to put across
00:52:17.740 this image for a long time
00:52:18.900 that the picture may be a fake.
00:52:21.020 But they've never come up
00:52:21.920 with any evidence.
00:52:23.200 And when my sister newspaper,
00:52:24.960 the Sunday Times,
00:52:26.080 looked at it,
00:52:27.460 that they got,
00:52:28.260 you know,
00:52:28.780 photographic
00:52:29.420 and computer experts
00:52:30.540 to look at the picture
00:52:31.920 and see if there's
00:52:32.660 any evidence of photoshopping.
00:52:34.520 And they couldn't find it.
00:52:35.620 So they've had a long time
00:52:37.580 in which to,
00:52:38.380 you know,
00:52:38.680 pull apart this photograph
00:52:39.740 and show it's not
00:52:40.780 what it is meant to be.
00:52:42.100 And they failed to do so.
00:52:43.420 So I'm not sure
00:52:44.480 how much credibility
00:52:45.540 we give to that.
00:52:47.140 I'm not sure how much use
00:52:48.760 Ghislaine Maxwell's intervention
00:52:49.820 is to Andrew.
00:52:51.300 Well,
00:52:51.720 and they were always friends,
00:52:52.760 were they not?
00:52:53.260 I mean,
00:52:53.400 this is sort of how
00:52:54.320 he came into the orbit
00:52:56.060 of Jeffrey Epstein.
00:52:57.160 It was through
00:52:57.980 Ghislaine Maxwell.
00:52:59.640 That's right.
00:53:00.080 They've been friends
00:53:00.840 for a long time.
00:53:01.560 They've had a close relationship.
00:53:04.040 And it was through her
00:53:06.460 that he met
00:53:07.380 Jeffrey Epstein.
00:53:08.160 Yeah.
00:53:09.320 So, yeah.
00:53:10.040 So she's got some knowledge
00:53:11.300 of the relationship
00:53:12.080 and she is to,
00:53:13.340 in some ways,
00:53:13.860 be blamed
00:53:14.400 for the relationship
00:53:15.700 and the introduction
00:53:16.360 and whatever royal exposure
00:53:18.480 Jeffrey Epstein had.
00:53:20.540 It's sort of bizarre
00:53:21.600 to hear her speaking up
00:53:22.600 from behind bars.
00:53:23.540 She did also weigh in
00:53:25.440 for the sake of the audience
00:53:26.380 on whether she believes
00:53:27.920 Jeffrey Epstein
00:53:28.680 actually killed himself.
00:53:30.400 Here's a little bit of that.
00:53:31.380 I believe that he was
00:53:34.680 murdered.
00:53:37.560 Well, shocked.
00:53:39.380 And I wondered
00:53:39.960 how has it happened?
00:53:42.040 Well, obviously,
00:53:42.560 I'd never met him
00:53:43.480 because I didn't know
00:53:44.740 that he was
00:53:47.640 so awful.
00:53:49.560 I mean, obviously,
00:53:52.460 now, looking back
00:53:54.220 with hindsight,
00:53:55.420 of course,
00:53:56.760 but at the time,
00:53:59.060 I mean,
00:53:59.320 he had lots of friends.
00:54:00.500 I mean,
00:54:00.620 he was friendly with
00:54:02.520 just about everybody
00:54:05.000 you can imagine.
00:54:06.900 There she is
00:54:07.720 with Talk TV.
00:54:08.780 I didn't know
00:54:09.940 he was so awful.
00:54:11.780 Of course,
00:54:12.100 the jury has found
00:54:12.940 something very different
00:54:13.900 and has found
00:54:14.480 that she was awful
00:54:15.180 in her own right.
00:54:16.500 What is going on here?
00:54:17.760 Why is she doing this?
00:54:19.280 What do you think
00:54:19.980 are the dynamics
00:54:20.640 behind this?
00:54:23.080 You know,
00:54:24.300 maybe she's working
00:54:25.300 up to an appeal,
00:54:26.040 perhaps.
00:54:26.400 I don't know
00:54:26.780 what on earth
00:54:27.420 she hopes to achieve
00:54:28.280 by that.
00:54:28.980 And coming out
00:54:29.780 with this stuff
00:54:30.320 about, you know,
00:54:30.900 I didn't know
00:54:31.320 how awful he was.
00:54:32.880 I mean,
00:54:33.220 come on.
00:54:33.780 She was his
00:54:34.320 right-hand woman
00:54:35.260 for all those years.
00:54:36.400 She was procuring
00:54:37.880 these young girls.
00:54:38.960 She was stopping
00:54:40.000 young girls in the street
00:54:41.100 and getting them
00:54:42.120 to come into his
00:54:43.540 harem, as it were.
00:54:44.900 I mean,
00:54:45.340 the idea that she
00:54:46.180 didn't know
00:54:46.860 is just laughable.
00:54:48.640 She's pursuing
00:54:50.900 the he-didn't-kill-himself
00:54:52.340 thing, right,
00:54:52.980 that he was murdered.
00:54:53.940 A lot of people
00:54:54.580 continue to believe that.
00:54:56.780 I mean,
00:54:56.980 I will say
00:54:57.500 that the attorney general
00:54:58.420 at the time,
00:54:59.160 Bill Barr,
00:54:59.720 under President Trump,
00:55:00.860 says he personally
00:55:02.100 reviewed the tapes
00:55:03.840 of the jail
00:55:04.680 that night
00:55:05.820 on the night
00:55:06.240 in question
00:55:06.660 and there was
00:55:07.460 no entry
00:55:08.660 of another person
00:55:09.920 onto the floor
00:55:11.600 where Jeffrey Epstein
00:55:12.420 was being kept
00:55:13.140 and he is 100%
00:55:14.460 assured
00:55:15.900 that Jeffrey Epstein
00:55:17.840 was not murdered.
00:55:19.500 However,
00:55:20.920 famed pathologist
00:55:22.540 Dr. Michael Bodden
00:55:23.520 was on Fox News
00:55:24.360 last night
00:55:24.900 saying the following
00:55:26.860 to Tucker Carlson,
00:55:27.980 sought more.
00:55:29.340 I was present
00:55:30.440 at the autopsy
00:55:31.420 and there were
00:55:33.260 three fractures
00:55:34.660 in the windpipe
00:55:35.620 that are much more
00:55:37.680 typical of crush injury
00:55:39.320 from homicidal
00:55:41.020 strangulation
00:55:41.820 than from hanging.
00:55:42.940 Hemorrhages in the eyes,
00:55:44.160 again,
00:55:44.560 more typical
00:55:46.220 of homicide
00:55:48.080 and the ligature
00:55:50.920 imprint on the neck
00:55:53.000 didn't match
00:55:54.520 the ligature
00:55:56.180 that was present
00:55:56.980 in the cell.
00:55:58.000 So I thought
00:55:58.400 that made it
00:56:00.200 more likely
00:56:00.940 that this was
00:56:02.220 a homicide
00:56:02.660 but we never got
00:56:03.940 to find out
00:56:05.460 how the body
00:56:06.440 was found.
00:56:07.420 Was he found hanging
00:56:08.280 or not,
00:56:08.780 for example,
00:56:09.800 because the two
00:56:10.480 guards were sleeping
00:56:12.580 and the body
00:56:13.480 was just cut down
00:56:14.340 and brought out
00:56:15.020 to a hospital
00:56:15.900 where he was
00:56:16.340 pronounced dead?
00:56:18.840 Ghislaine Maxwell
00:56:19.660 suggesting it was
00:56:20.460 murder as well.
00:56:21.520 I mean,
00:56:21.740 she of all people
00:56:22.500 would know
00:56:23.180 what secrets
00:56:24.660 he had
00:56:25.640 that had not yet
00:56:26.840 been revealed
00:56:27.620 upon his death,
00:56:28.760 Valentine.
00:56:30.940 Absolutely.
00:56:31.640 I'm sure she knows
00:56:32.260 an awful lot
00:56:33.000 which she'll never tell.
00:56:35.320 I mean,
00:56:35.560 but, you know,
00:56:36.400 in a way,
00:56:37.220 the secrets
00:56:37.880 are not the important
00:56:39.120 thing.
00:56:39.440 We know enough
00:56:41.020 the truth
00:56:42.020 that's already out
00:56:43.000 there is damning
00:56:43.640 enough
00:56:43.960 without us
00:56:45.300 being reliant
00:56:45.900 on further secrets.
00:56:48.220 So I think,
00:56:48.900 you know,
00:56:49.400 we need more
00:56:50.920 than too much
00:56:51.400 what Ghislaine
00:56:51.920 and Maxwell
00:56:52.300 hasn't told
00:56:52.860 because what's
00:56:54.500 been told already
00:56:55.220 is just damning
00:56:56.720 enough.
00:56:57.960 What do you make
00:56:58.700 of how this
00:56:59.580 has landed
00:57:00.100 for Prince Andrew?
00:57:01.520 Because I hear
00:57:02.540 these reports
00:57:03.140 now that he wants
00:57:03.720 to undo
00:57:04.280 the settlement
00:57:04.840 agreement he entered
00:57:05.700 into with Virginia
00:57:06.500 Giuffre,
00:57:07.520 that wasn't
00:57:09.180 that long ago
00:57:09.980 that they entered
00:57:11.320 into that agreement.
00:57:12.980 Potentially,
00:57:13.600 they said he was
00:57:14.500 trying to head off
00:57:15.120 trouble before
00:57:16.020 the Queen's
00:57:16.680 Platinum Jubilee
00:57:17.540 and the Queen
00:57:18.560 didn't want
00:57:19.240 this lawsuit
00:57:20.360 in the news
00:57:21.860 and so he paid
00:57:23.200 off Virginia
00:57:23.740 Giuffre to go away.
00:57:25.280 There are reports
00:57:25.840 it was maybe
00:57:26.440 $10 million
00:57:27.080 and she did
00:57:29.240 go away
00:57:29.640 and then there
00:57:30.020 was a voluntarily
00:57:30.900 agreed to gag order
00:57:32.660 between the two
00:57:33.160 of them for some
00:57:33.820 12 months.
00:57:34.600 We're getting
00:57:34.960 to the end
00:57:35.380 of that.
00:57:35.860 February will
00:57:36.440 be the end
00:57:36.800 of it.
00:57:37.440 But I'll tell
00:57:38.080 you,
00:57:38.260 as a lawyer,
00:57:38.880 Valentine,
00:57:39.200 there is no way
00:57:39.820 he's undoing
00:57:40.300 that settlement
00:57:40.680 agreement.
00:57:41.160 He has zero
00:57:42.020 grounds to undo
00:57:42.800 that settlement.
00:57:43.480 He reportedly
00:57:44.100 is looking at
00:57:44.740 what happened
00:57:45.040 with Alan
00:57:45.440 Dershowitz,
00:57:46.500 who I believe
00:57:47.200 100%
00:57:47.920 Virginia
00:57:48.260 Giuffre
00:57:48.600 falsely
00:57:49.700 accused.
00:57:51.020 And he's a
00:57:51.840 lawyer,
00:57:52.220 a famous one,
00:57:52.880 so he fought.
00:57:53.640 He fought tooth
00:57:54.300 and nail
00:57:54.700 and he got her
00:57:55.760 to essentially
00:57:56.260 admit,
00:57:56.860 oh,
00:57:56.960 I may have
00:57:57.340 misremembered
00:57:58.140 when it comes
00:57:58.800 to you.
00:57:59.740 Reportedly,
00:58:00.820 Prince Andrew
00:58:01.200 saw that and said,
00:58:02.520 hey,
00:58:03.440 I like your
00:58:04.300 outcome better
00:58:04.820 than I like
00:58:05.240 my outcome.
00:58:06.320 And Dershowitz
00:58:06.880 is reportedly
00:58:07.460 advising him
00:58:08.500 behind the scenes.
00:58:09.920 I don't see
00:58:10.340 any legal grounds
00:58:10.940 for him to undo
00:58:11.820 this thing.
00:58:12.280 But how do you
00:58:13.100 think it's landed
00:58:13.760 for Prince Andrew?
00:58:16.220 I think what you
00:58:17.020 have to remember
00:58:17.480 about Prince Andrew
00:58:18.520 is he's none
00:58:19.120 too bright.
00:58:20.380 And he's reliant
00:58:21.700 on the advice
00:58:22.240 he gets.
00:58:23.200 And I don't think
00:58:23.920 he's been getting
00:58:24.320 the best advice.
00:58:25.080 I think he's
00:58:26.240 very close
00:58:27.440 to his lawyer,
00:58:28.920 his lawyer
00:58:29.820 basically
00:58:31.400 even telling him
00:58:32.240 what he thinks
00:58:33.160 Andrew wants to hear.
00:58:34.340 And he's been
00:58:34.820 constantly been
00:58:35.660 telling him
00:58:36.300 that,
00:58:36.880 you know,
00:58:37.440 Andrew,
00:58:37.840 you can,
00:58:38.360 you know,
00:58:39.300 recover your life
00:58:40.220 as a member
00:58:41.560 of the royal family
00:58:42.460 when that's just
00:58:43.620 not going to happen.
00:58:45.020 That's cloud cuckoo land.
00:58:47.240 So,
00:58:47.460 yes,
00:58:47.660 you're completely
00:58:48.240 right that Andrew
00:58:49.080 hasn't got a hope
00:58:49.700 in hell
00:58:50.180 of overturning
00:58:52.880 this.
00:58:54.160 And,
00:58:54.460 you know,
00:58:55.320 we just know
00:58:56.420 this from the
00:58:56.980 journalists who
00:58:57.960 interviewed
00:58:58.460 William Maxwell
00:58:59.000 and Daphne Barak
00:58:59.720 that that's
00:59:01.140 what they want
00:59:01.580 to do.
00:59:03.320 But,
00:59:03.820 you know,
00:59:03.960 we've heard
00:59:04.400 all this optimistic
00:59:05.600 talk before
00:59:06.540 from Andrew,
00:59:07.320 you know,
00:59:08.060 or from Andrew's
00:59:08.980 associates that,
00:59:10.300 you know,
00:59:10.760 he'll be back
00:59:12.060 as a member
00:59:12.540 of the royal family
00:59:13.200 but he'll overturn
00:59:13.780 the legal case.
00:59:15.480 It's just nonsense.
00:59:16.880 And I think
00:59:17.240 there are really
00:59:18.280 two things about Andrew.
00:59:19.560 There are two possibilities.
00:59:20.500 One is he slept
00:59:21.660 with Virginia Giuffre,
00:59:23.280 one is he didn't.
00:59:24.300 If he did,
00:59:25.680 he should have
00:59:26.260 admitted it straight
00:59:27.080 at the beginning
00:59:27.860 and he would have
00:59:29.280 come in for some
00:59:29.820 criticism
00:59:30.300 but he would not
00:59:31.560 have gone through
00:59:32.120 all this pain.
00:59:33.360 And if he didn't,
00:59:34.500 he should have done
00:59:35.060 a better job
00:59:35.680 of fighting it.
00:59:37.820 I think,
00:59:38.920 obviously,
00:59:39.360 the jubilee
00:59:40.120 was an issue
00:59:42.760 in the decision
00:59:44.220 to settle
00:59:44.780 but I don't think
00:59:45.900 the Queen
00:59:46.480 herself
00:59:48.120 would have put
00:59:48.800 pressure on Andrew
00:59:50.020 not for one second.
00:59:52.140 She loved her son
00:59:53.040 and she wanted
00:59:53.400 to do right
00:59:53.920 by him
00:59:54.440 and the idea
00:59:57.320 of her saying
00:59:57.960 to him,
00:59:58.700 settle this case,
01:00:00.080 make it all go away
01:00:00.880 in order not to
01:00:02.160 spoil my lovely jubilee,
01:00:03.860 that's not the way
01:00:04.840 it would have worked
01:00:05.300 in my opinion.
01:00:06.340 Who would have
01:00:06.860 made him do it
01:00:07.880 if anyone?
01:00:08.420 I think Andrew
01:00:14.760 won't be listening
01:00:16.200 to advice
01:00:16.660 from the palace,
01:00:17.260 certainly.
01:00:17.600 He's got a long
01:00:18.140 track record
01:00:18.660 of not listening
01:00:19.500 to advice
01:00:19.920 from the palace.
01:00:20.900 He just has
01:00:21.320 a very,
01:00:21.960 very small group
01:00:22.720 of one or two
01:00:23.140 people around him
01:00:23.960 who he listens to
01:00:25.000 and I think
01:00:27.180 they told him
01:00:28.000 to settle
01:00:28.500 because they thought
01:00:29.520 he was going to lose.
01:00:31.360 Maybe they know
01:00:33.000 more than we do.
01:00:33.680 Certainly,
01:00:34.060 they know more
01:00:34.440 than we do
01:00:34.980 about what proof
01:00:36.320 there is
01:00:36.820 but Virginia Giuffre,
01:00:38.220 with all due respect
01:00:39.140 because she was
01:00:39.960 trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein,
01:00:41.280 I have zero doubt of that,
01:00:42.840 but she's a very
01:00:43.920 problematic witness
01:00:45.020 for anybody
01:00:46.640 representing her.
01:00:47.840 Her stories
01:00:48.400 have been
01:00:49.220 all over the board.
01:00:50.920 Her fundamental
01:00:52.400 memories about,
01:00:53.700 I remember
01:00:54.320 because I was 16,
01:00:56.200 she then would
01:00:56.940 completely state
01:00:57.660 the opposite
01:00:58.260 not long thereafter,
01:00:59.980 under oath testimony
01:01:01.000 that was diametrically
01:01:02.040 opposed to earlier
01:01:02.880 under oath testimony
01:01:03.780 by her.
01:01:05.080 This is one of the
01:01:06.740 things that
01:01:07.080 Alan Dershowitz
01:01:07.660 took the time
01:01:08.200 to actually figure out
01:01:09.260 and fought her
01:01:10.440 and he came on my show
01:01:12.600 early on
01:01:13.100 when we launched
01:01:13.580 this show,
01:01:14.000 Valentine,
01:01:14.360 we talked about
01:01:15.080 some of the evidence
01:01:16.080 about her.
01:01:17.340 This is how
01:01:17.740 Alan Dershowitz
01:01:18.400 got pulled into
01:01:19.140 the Virginia Giuffre story
01:01:20.580 and the left
01:01:21.660 here in America
01:01:22.260 is still holding
01:01:23.120 this against him
01:01:23.860 as though he's
01:01:24.640 another Jeffrey Epstein,
01:01:26.200 Alan Dershowitz.
01:01:26.900 It's a lie.
01:01:27.920 It's not true
01:01:28.740 and even now
01:01:30.560 his accuser
01:01:31.140 has said
01:01:31.440 she may have
01:01:31.880 misremembered.
01:01:33.040 So Virginia Giuffre
01:01:34.460 was writing
01:01:35.020 to a journalist
01:01:35.720 who had helped her,
01:01:37.760 who had interviewed
01:01:38.420 her years before
01:01:39.220 and she was helping
01:01:40.540 Virginia Giuffre
01:01:41.260 sell a book
01:01:42.000 and Virginia Giuffre
01:01:43.900 said,
01:01:44.240 can you help me?
01:01:45.420 You know,
01:01:45.620 my brain feels like mush
01:01:46.760 and I'd love to remember
01:01:48.620 more about
01:01:49.280 what you and I discussed
01:01:51.040 when you interviewed
01:01:51.780 me years ago
01:01:52.460 and this woman
01:01:53.620 responds to her,
01:01:54.980 Sharon Churcher,
01:01:56.140 saying,
01:01:56.600 don't forget
01:01:57.180 Alan Dershowitz,
01:01:58.860 Epstein's buddy
01:01:59.480 lawyer.
01:02:00.020 Good name
01:02:00.380 for your pitch
01:02:01.180 for her book
01:02:02.440 as he represented
01:02:03.680 Klaus von Bülow
01:02:05.100 and a movie
01:02:06.100 was made about that case.
01:02:07.260 The title was
01:02:07.720 Reversal of Fortune.
01:02:08.980 We all suspect
01:02:10.160 Alan is a pedo
01:02:11.320 though no proof of that.
01:02:13.620 You probably met him
01:02:14.860 when he was hanging out
01:02:15.900 with Epstein.
01:02:17.100 That is how
01:02:17.620 Alan's name got
01:02:18.480 mentioned by
01:02:19.580 Virginia Giuffre
01:02:20.440 and I'd love to see
01:02:22.300 the background of how
01:02:23.220 Prince Andrew
01:02:24.500 was mentioned.
01:02:25.040 I realize Prince Andrew
01:02:25.820 is not that popular
01:02:26.740 in the UK
01:02:27.120 but I really don't know
01:02:28.380 whether he's being
01:02:28.980 railroaded in this
01:02:30.160 same way.
01:02:31.980 Yeah, I mean,
01:02:32.380 that's extraordinary
01:02:32.920 what you told me
01:02:33.680 about Dershowitz.
01:02:34.280 I hadn't heard that
01:02:34.940 before but of course
01:02:36.280 the difference is
01:02:36.740 with Andrew,
01:02:37.620 we have this picture
01:02:38.540 and the picture is,
01:02:40.600 you know,
01:02:41.500 it's not damning
01:02:42.300 but it's suggestive,
01:02:43.180 isn't it?
01:02:44.120 And as we've already
01:02:45.240 said,
01:02:45.720 there hasn't been
01:02:47.180 any evidence yet.
01:02:47.980 People suggest
01:02:48.980 it's fake
01:02:49.380 but there hasn't been
01:02:49.880 any evidence
01:02:50.560 it's fake.
01:02:53.020 And we can't trust
01:02:54.000 the word of Ghislaine Maxwell
01:02:55.000 at all.
01:02:56.100 At all.
01:02:57.360 And Virginia,
01:02:58.040 Virginia is only 17 years old
01:03:00.620 in that picture
01:03:01.920 when she met
01:03:02.440 Prince Andrew reportedly
01:03:03.280 so this is
01:03:03.900 hence one of the reasons
01:03:05.580 why it becomes a scandal.
01:03:07.240 Well,
01:03:07.560 we'll continue to follow that
01:03:08.580 but you heard it here first.
01:03:10.120 In order to undo
01:03:10.700 that settlement agreement
01:03:11.440 he would have to prove
01:03:12.280 it was the product of fraud,
01:03:14.240 duress,
01:03:15.140 mistake,
01:03:15.800 or accident.
01:03:17.220 And duress means
01:03:17.900 like someone's got a gun
01:03:18.760 to your head
01:03:19.240 and they're saying
01:03:19.800 you will sign it
01:03:20.700 or you will get,
01:03:22.020 you know,
01:03:22.200 this gun will go off.
01:03:23.560 It's not like
01:03:24.260 oh gee,
01:03:24.920 the royal family
01:03:25.580 really made me do it.
01:03:26.580 Like that's not going to do it.
01:03:28.620 So he's not going to undo
01:03:29.720 that settlement agreement.
01:03:30.840 Yeah.
01:03:31.760 Okay.
01:03:32.280 So let's switch over
01:03:33.100 to your book
01:03:33.760 which I thought was amazing.
01:03:35.400 When the first excerpts
01:03:36.840 were released in the UK
01:03:37.940 I was riveted
01:03:39.520 and that's when I said
01:03:40.240 I must meet
01:03:41.280 Valentine Lowe.
01:03:42.400 He's got to come on the show
01:03:43.340 so thank you so much
01:03:44.180 for being here
01:03:45.100 to walk us through
01:03:45.640 some of it.
01:03:46.680 You are the person
01:03:47.520 who broke the whole
01:03:48.920 Meghan Markle
01:03:49.520 bullying scandal.
01:03:50.920 And one of the things
01:03:51.780 I think is most interesting
01:03:52.820 about this is
01:03:53.740 Prince Harry
01:03:54.520 on his recent media tour
01:03:55.620 went on about
01:03:56.600 oh,
01:03:57.280 so obvious
01:03:58.340 that the palace
01:03:59.740 starts talking
01:04:00.440 about her bullying
01:04:01.320 right before
01:04:02.920 the Oprah interview.
01:04:04.060 I mean,
01:04:04.240 you'd have to be stupid
01:04:05.180 to believe
01:04:06.040 this was not
01:04:06.700 a made up attempt
01:04:08.020 at maligning
01:04:10.160 Meghan unfairly.
01:04:11.740 But the truth is
01:04:13.060 you've seen
01:04:14.140 the documents.
01:04:15.600 There are
01:04:16.200 papers
01:04:17.120 in which
01:04:18.180 this behavior
01:04:18.800 is documented
01:04:19.720 going back to
01:04:20.820 correct me if I'm wrong
01:04:22.060 I think it's
01:04:22.520 October of 2018.
01:04:24.900 This was not
01:04:25.660 a made up scandal
01:04:27.560 because she went
01:04:28.700 on Oprah.
01:04:30.780 No,
01:04:31.240 so a couple of things
01:04:32.440 to say that
01:04:32.920 yes,
01:04:33.240 the original
01:04:34.800 memo
01:04:35.760 making the
01:04:36.960 bullying accusation
01:04:38.200 was in October
01:04:39.040 of 2018.
01:04:40.760 First of all,
01:04:41.520 Harry's,
01:04:41.960 you know,
01:04:42.220 talks about
01:04:42.640 the palace
01:04:43.760 and this is
01:04:45.320 an allegation
01:04:46.340 that Meghan's
01:04:47.900 lawyers made
01:04:48.560 when they
01:04:49.100 responded to me
01:04:49.880 that this
01:04:50.660 was clearly
01:04:52.240 an attempt
01:04:52.900 to smear
01:04:53.420 by Buckingham Palace.
01:04:55.660 And that's,
01:04:56.640 you know,
01:04:57.100 obviously I'm not going
01:04:57.720 to get into
01:04:58.100 my sources
01:04:59.020 for the story,
01:04:59.900 but that's a ludicrous
01:05:00.900 allegation
01:05:01.520 because if you read
01:05:02.560 what I wrote,
01:05:03.620 the Buckingham Palace
01:05:04.520 does not emerge
01:05:05.340 well for this.
01:05:06.420 They messed up.
01:05:07.680 They messed up
01:05:08.520 because they did
01:05:09.440 nothing.
01:05:10.220 These allegations
01:05:10.980 of bullying
01:05:11.460 were made
01:05:12.060 and they did
01:05:13.060 absolutely nothing.
01:05:14.180 They just sat
01:05:14.840 in it.
01:05:16.420 So the idea
01:05:17.100 that Buckingham Palace
01:05:18.440 should put this
01:05:19.120 out is just
01:05:20.660 a joke.
01:05:22.280 The other thing
01:05:22.880 is the timing
01:05:23.540 of the story.
01:05:25.460 When I wrote
01:05:26.260 that story
01:05:26.780 in March
01:05:27.780 of 2021,
01:05:30.140 I did a lot
01:05:30.900 of immediate
01:05:31.400 interviews
01:05:31.940 and also
01:05:33.200 when I wrote
01:05:33.960 in the Times,
01:05:34.540 I was completely
01:05:35.880 up front
01:05:36.480 that the timing
01:05:37.580 was connected
01:05:38.320 to Oprah.
01:05:39.220 and the reason
01:05:40.240 why is because
01:05:41.700 the victims
01:05:42.940 of the bullying,
01:05:44.060 they wanted
01:05:44.560 their story
01:05:45.060 out there.
01:05:46.920 They wanted
01:05:47.900 the world
01:05:48.940 to know
01:05:49.400 that there's
01:05:50.700 Meghan
01:05:51.040 portraying herself
01:05:52.220 as a victim
01:05:53.160 of the palace
01:05:54.340 essentially.
01:05:55.440 They wanted
01:05:55.820 to say
01:05:56.080 that there are
01:05:56.500 other victims
01:05:57.120 out here.
01:05:58.280 If they
01:05:58.800 put their story
01:06:00.080 out after Oprah,
01:06:01.800 it just would
01:06:02.660 have been lost
01:06:03.220 in the noise.
01:06:04.020 No one would
01:06:04.380 have paid
01:06:04.660 any attention
01:06:05.320 and it also
01:06:06.260 would have
01:06:06.720 come across
01:06:08.360 as sour grapes.
01:06:09.220 So the only
01:06:10.480 way to make
01:06:11.300 sure they
01:06:11.640 got heard
01:06:12.220 was to make
01:06:12.900 sure their
01:06:13.260 story came
01:06:13.860 out before
01:06:15.420 Oprah.
01:06:16.420 So it's
01:06:17.260 not some
01:06:17.620 evil palace
01:06:18.300 conspiracy.
01:06:19.040 It's just
01:06:19.440 the way
01:06:19.760 these young
01:06:21.860 people suffered
01:06:23.000 in their view
01:06:24.940 at the hands
01:06:25.580 of Meghan.
01:06:26.320 They just
01:06:26.940 wanted that
01:06:27.360 to be heard
01:06:27.740 by the rest
01:06:28.620 of the world.
01:06:30.180 And whereas
01:06:30.580 Meghan,
01:06:31.380 I mean,
01:06:31.640 we heard
01:06:32.040 from Gayle
01:06:32.680 King after
01:06:33.560 her best
01:06:34.220 friend Oprah
01:06:34.860 interviewed them,
01:06:36.300 Meghan has
01:06:37.020 the receipts.
01:06:37.800 she's got
01:06:38.980 the documentation
01:06:39.720 to prove
01:06:40.440 every claim
01:06:41.220 she made
01:06:41.680 in that
01:06:41.920 interview.
01:06:42.900 And yet
01:06:43.120 now we've
01:06:43.620 watched six
01:06:44.140 hours of
01:06:44.560 Netflix and
01:06:45.560 we've read
01:06:46.000 Prince Harry's
01:06:46.760 memoirs bear
01:06:47.520 and there are
01:06:48.440 no receipts.
01:06:49.060 There is
01:06:50.140 nothing to
01:06:50.760 prove that
01:06:51.640 the royal
01:06:51.980 family has
01:06:52.580 a racist
01:06:53.200 who's concerned
01:06:54.380 about how
01:06:54.980 dark the
01:06:55.420 baby's skin
01:06:56.040 is going
01:06:56.540 to be
01:06:57.040 or these
01:06:58.240 other
01:06:58.440 allegations
01:06:58.880 that she
01:06:59.400 said to
01:06:59.820 Oprah.
01:07:00.940 However,
01:07:01.740 you do
01:07:02.480 have receipts.
01:07:04.320 You claim in
01:07:04.900 the book to
01:07:05.360 have seen
01:07:05.880 receipts,
01:07:06.820 so to
01:07:07.060 speak,
01:07:07.400 of the
01:07:07.820 bullying,
01:07:08.720 including
01:07:09.160 you write
01:07:10.080 as follows.
01:07:10.760 On October
01:07:11.280 26th,
01:07:12.340 2018,
01:07:13.600 just as
01:07:13.920 Harry and
01:07:14.220 Meghan were
01:07:14.540 flying from
01:07:15.140 Tonga to
01:07:15.660 Sydney for
01:07:16.540 the Invictus
01:07:17.060 Games,
01:07:18.140 Jason,
01:07:18.540 is it
01:07:18.800 Knopf?
01:07:19.300 Is that how
01:07:19.500 you pronounce
01:07:19.840 his name?
01:07:21.240 Jason Knopf,
01:07:22.720 who worked
01:07:24.300 for a time,
01:07:26.200 he worked
01:07:26.540 for William,
01:07:28.000 Kate,
01:07:28.380 and Harry,
01:07:29.200 and then he
01:07:29.560 split off to
01:07:30.220 just William
01:07:30.860 and Kate
01:07:31.260 after things
01:07:31.740 went south
01:07:32.300 with Meghan
01:07:33.320 and Harry.
01:07:34.020 Knopf wrote
01:07:35.660 an email
01:07:36.100 to his
01:07:36.460 immediate
01:07:36.720 boss,
01:07:37.120 Simon Case,
01:07:37.920 Prince
01:07:38.140 William's
01:07:38.600 private
01:07:38.820 secretary,
01:07:39.400 saying he
01:07:40.220 had spoken
01:07:40.600 to the
01:07:40.880 head of
01:07:41.120 HR for
01:07:41.700 the palace,
01:07:42.320 again,
01:07:42.620 this is
01:07:42.840 2018,
01:07:43.920 about,
01:07:44.180 quote,
01:07:44.660 some very
01:07:45.160 serious
01:07:45.600 problems
01:07:46.080 concerning
01:07:46.520 Meghan's
01:07:46.940 behavior.
01:07:47.640 He wrote,
01:07:48.160 quote,
01:07:48.880 I am very
01:07:49.480 concerned that
01:07:50.200 the Duchess
01:07:50.660 was able to
01:07:51.340 bully two
01:07:51.940 PAs out
01:07:52.640 of the
01:07:52.820 household
01:07:53.260 in the
01:07:53.940 past year.
01:07:55.160 The Duchess
01:07:55.640 seems intent
01:07:56.340 on always
01:07:57.040 having someone
01:07:57.860 in her
01:07:58.660 sights.
01:07:59.560 She is
01:07:59.920 bullying
01:08:00.300 X,
01:08:01.120 name withheld
01:08:01.800 by author,
01:08:02.580 and seeking
01:08:03.080 to undermine
01:08:03.580 her confidence.
01:08:04.680 We have
01:08:04.840 report after
01:08:05.580 report from
01:08:06.220 people who
01:08:06.600 have witnessed
01:08:07.000 unacceptable
01:08:07.620 behavior toward
01:08:08.840 X,
01:08:09.340 despite the
01:08:09.860 universal views
01:08:10.520 from her
01:08:10.820 colleagues that
01:08:11.260 she's a
01:08:11.540 leading talent
01:08:12.160 within the
01:08:12.780 household who's
01:08:13.420 delivering
01:08:13.780 first-rate
01:08:14.620 work.
01:08:16.340 Knopf,
01:08:16.680 who's in
01:08:17.060 daily contact
01:08:17.600 with the
01:08:17.900 staff,
01:08:18.340 went on to
01:08:18.660 say that
01:08:19.040 the tour
01:08:19.280 was very
01:08:19.760 challenging
01:08:20.220 and was
01:08:20.680 made worse
01:08:21.320 by the
01:08:21.660 behavior of
01:08:22.920 the Duchess
01:08:23.640 and goes
01:08:24.580 on from
01:08:25.420 there,
01:08:25.820 saying the
01:08:26.160 situation
01:08:26.640 is very
01:08:27.900 serious.
01:08:29.120 So did
01:08:29.480 you actually
01:08:30.440 get to see
01:08:31.080 this memo,
01:08:31.760 Valentine?
01:08:32.000 I had
01:08:34.920 that memo
01:08:35.740 read out
01:08:37.280 to me,
01:08:37.600 I didn't
01:08:37.860 physically
01:08:38.260 see it,
01:08:39.640 but I
01:08:40.000 have also,
01:08:41.880 my source
01:08:42.700 also showed
01:08:44.760 me,
01:08:45.400 should we
01:08:45.640 say,
01:08:45.840 physical
01:08:46.200 evidence of
01:08:47.100 other
01:08:47.440 conversations
01:08:48.240 backing up
01:08:50.020 the
01:08:50.780 allegation
01:08:53.000 of bullying
01:08:53.460 and testimony
01:08:56.340 from members
01:08:57.480 of staff
01:08:58.040 about the
01:08:59.100 effect that
01:08:59.540 Megan's
01:08:59.840 behavior had
01:09:00.440 on them.
01:09:01.600 People talking
01:09:02.520 about how
01:09:03.800 they were
01:09:04.100 shaking with
01:09:05.420 fear because
01:09:06.560 they anticipated
01:09:07.420 getting a
01:09:09.220 roasting from
01:09:09.920 Megan and
01:09:11.180 how they felt
01:09:11.740 physically sick.
01:09:14.160 It was
01:09:15.120 obviously not
01:09:15.860 a healthy
01:09:16.220 working
01:09:16.580 atmosphere.
01:09:17.100 there was
01:09:19.760 one point
01:09:20.820 when one
01:09:22.700 member of
01:09:23.980 staff was
01:09:24.640 trying to
01:09:26.840 do something
01:09:27.500 at a
01:09:28.280 meeting that
01:09:28.680 Megan was
01:09:29.780 trying to
01:09:30.320 explain why
01:09:30.940 something was
01:09:31.360 difficult.
01:09:32.580 And Megan
01:09:32.860 said to
01:09:33.280 her,
01:09:34.020 don't worry,
01:09:35.300 if there's
01:09:35.660 literally anyone
01:09:36.920 else I can
01:09:37.660 get to do
01:09:38.120 this,
01:09:38.540 I would.
01:09:39.560 And that
01:09:40.060 poor person
01:09:40.640 was absolutely
01:09:41.500 crushed.
01:09:43.060 And just
01:09:43.580 one of the
01:09:44.020 many examples
01:09:44.800 were completely
01:09:47.140 squashed by
01:09:47.840 Megan.
01:09:48.840 And a
01:09:49.720 short while
01:09:50.100 later,
01:09:50.640 Prince William
01:09:51.200 saw this
01:09:52.360 person in
01:09:52.720 the corridor
01:09:53.180 and said,
01:09:55.520 oh,
01:09:55.800 look,
01:09:56.000 listen,
01:09:56.400 I hear you've
01:09:58.140 been having
01:09:58.320 a bit of a
01:09:59.060 bad time.
01:09:59.960 I'm really
01:10:00.300 sorry,
01:10:00.680 but I just
01:10:01.200 want you to
01:10:01.500 know you're
01:10:01.780 doing a
01:10:02.040 really great
01:10:02.440 job.
01:10:03.280 And they
01:10:03.640 just burst
01:10:04.200 into tears.
01:10:04.920 It was just
01:10:06.280 so broken
01:10:07.920 at that point.
01:10:08.560 People were
01:10:09.260 broken.
01:10:10.700 Walk us
01:10:11.180 through,
01:10:12.060 tell us a
01:10:12.720 little bit,
01:10:13.020 because the
01:10:13.380 book is about
01:10:13.940 all the
01:10:14.240 people around
01:10:14.940 the royal
01:10:15.360 family,
01:10:15.940 courtiers.
01:10:17.460 Walk us
01:10:18.000 through who
01:10:18.580 these people
01:10:19.060 are,
01:10:19.440 not in
01:10:19.700 terms of
01:10:20.020 identity,
01:10:20.660 but when
01:10:21.280 I read
01:10:21.620 this,
01:10:21.880 part of
01:10:22.120 me asked
01:10:22.440 myself,
01:10:23.240 why is
01:10:23.520 everybody
01:10:23.760 always crying
01:10:24.320 around her?
01:10:24.980 Either she's
01:10:25.460 terrible,
01:10:26.320 or these are
01:10:26.700 a bunch of
01:10:27.080 snowflakes,
01:10:27.840 right?
01:10:28.020 Like,
01:10:28.140 are these
01:10:28.360 snowflakes?
01:10:29.140 Are these
01:10:29.500 just weak,
01:10:30.460 need people
01:10:31.700 serving the
01:10:32.740 royal family
01:10:33.320 who need to
01:10:33.960 toughen up a
01:10:34.480 little?
01:10:35.940 No,
01:10:36.320 they're not
01:10:37.200 snowflakes.
01:10:38.000 And let me
01:10:38.600 tell you a bit
01:10:39.040 about the
01:10:39.880 two people who
01:10:41.840 were closest to
01:10:43.200 Harry and
01:10:43.580 Meghan in the
01:10:44.340 period we're
01:10:44.700 talking about.
01:10:45.920 So their
01:10:46.320 private secretary
01:10:47.140 was an
01:10:47.800 Australian
01:10:48.260 woman called
01:10:49.440 Samantha Cohen,
01:10:50.300 who worked for
01:10:50.900 the Queen for a
01:10:51.360 long time,
01:10:52.940 incredibly able,
01:10:55.400 popular,
01:10:57.020 the Queen loved
01:10:57.680 her,
01:10:57.960 very tough as
01:10:59.580 well,
01:11:00.240 and very
01:11:00.500 imaginative,
01:11:01.120 people.
01:11:02.120 And everyone
01:11:03.740 liked Sam.
01:11:05.640 And the
01:11:06.320 communications
01:11:06.980 person was
01:11:07.980 a woman called
01:11:09.120 Sarah Latham,
01:11:09.680 who has a
01:11:10.840 dual US and
01:11:12.620 UK nationality,
01:11:14.800 and very
01:11:16.900 tough, very
01:11:17.460 experienced
01:11:18.040 media professional.
01:11:19.120 And these two
01:11:19.960 people, so first
01:11:21.160 of all, there's a
01:11:21.800 point to be made
01:11:22.460 that they're not
01:11:23.780 stuffy old
01:11:24.460 Brits.
01:11:25.580 It's the idea
01:11:26.300 that the wicked
01:11:26.940 old palace,
01:11:27.680 tweedy old
01:11:28.700 courtiers,
01:11:29.660 crushing the
01:11:30.400 spirit of
01:11:31.400 free,
01:11:31.860 you know,
01:11:33.340 free,
01:11:33.720 free thinking
01:11:35.440 Meghan.
01:11:36.020 That's just not
01:11:36.540 true.
01:11:37.480 And the other is
01:11:38.160 that they
01:11:38.880 believed,
01:11:39.640 they believed in
01:11:40.680 it in the
01:11:41.160 beginning.
01:11:41.540 They were very
01:11:42.400 much on Harry
01:11:43.160 and Meghan's
01:11:43.700 side,
01:11:44.520 and they wanted
01:11:46.020 to make it
01:11:46.500 work,
01:11:47.340 and they did
01:11:47.820 everything they
01:11:48.280 could to make
01:11:48.840 it work.
01:11:49.260 But by the
01:11:50.160 end of it,
01:11:51.440 they and
01:11:52.420 other people
01:11:54.060 who work for
01:11:54.420 Harry and
01:11:54.740 Meghan were
01:11:55.120 calling themselves
01:11:55.800 the Sussex
01:11:56.440 Survivors Club.
01:11:58.300 They were
01:11:58.600 saying things
01:11:59.260 like they were
01:11:59.660 describing Meghan
01:12:00.640 as a
01:12:02.080 narcissistic
01:12:02.840 sociopath.
01:12:04.480 And in one
01:12:05.620 incredibly telling
01:12:06.500 phrase, they
01:12:08.020 said, we
01:12:09.320 were played.
01:12:10.900 They felt they
01:12:11.920 were manipulated
01:12:13.200 by Meghan and
01:12:14.180 let down by
01:12:14.900 her.
01:12:15.700 So, you
01:12:16.360 know, it all
01:12:17.300 started off with
01:12:17.900 the best of
01:12:18.380 intentions.
01:12:19.260 And it just
01:12:20.180 collapsed amid
01:12:21.220 such acrobat.
01:12:22.740 You know, Prince
01:12:23.780 Harry on his
01:12:24.700 recent media tour
01:12:26.020 talks about how
01:12:27.500 this is all
01:12:28.480 made up, about
01:12:29.660 how Meghan was
01:12:30.700 the most giving,
01:12:32.020 gentle boss
01:12:33.020 one could ever
01:12:34.180 ask for inside
01:12:35.240 the palace, how
01:12:35.920 she was sharing
01:12:37.380 all the perfume
01:12:38.560 and the clothing
01:12:39.380 and the gifts
01:12:40.140 that she received
01:12:40.900 from outside
01:12:41.540 vendors, which
01:12:42.680 we know from
01:12:44.040 your reporting
01:12:44.600 and others, she
01:12:45.420 wasn't supposed
01:12:45.920 to accept, but
01:12:46.720 she was getting
01:12:47.900 it and sharing
01:12:48.540 it with the
01:12:48.940 staff.
01:12:49.460 She was baking
01:12:50.340 them cupcakes
01:12:51.100 and cakes for
01:12:51.960 their birthdays.
01:12:53.340 She was just
01:12:54.000 a Mother Earth
01:12:55.140 over the staff,
01:12:56.440 the way Harry
01:12:56.920 tells it.
01:12:57.780 Not true?
01:12:59.460 Yeah, look, you
01:13:00.060 could be Mother
01:13:01.260 Earth on one
01:13:02.160 hand and a
01:13:04.160 bit of a bully
01:13:04.600 on the other.
01:13:05.280 I mean, the two
01:13:05.840 can walk hand
01:13:07.440 in hand.
01:13:09.700 I think Meghan,
01:13:10.640 you know, when
01:13:11.800 she was being
01:13:12.240 lovely, she was
01:13:12.980 being lovely, but
01:13:13.740 she could also,
01:13:14.820 you know, if
01:13:15.220 these reports
01:13:15.780 are true, could
01:13:16.980 be very, very
01:13:17.640 difficult.
01:13:18.780 And, you
01:13:19.000 know, Harry, in
01:13:20.080 his book, he
01:13:20.840 talks very briefly
01:13:22.840 about the bullying.
01:13:23.480 It's interesting how
01:13:24.440 little he goes
01:13:25.360 into it.
01:13:25.760 He doesn't feel
01:13:27.260 the need to
01:13:28.240 address it too
01:13:29.040 seriously.
01:13:30.180 But he says they
01:13:31.040 produced something
01:13:32.060 like, I think it
01:13:32.840 was a 20 or 25
01:13:33.880 page dossier of
01:13:35.360 evidence.
01:13:36.680 Well, I'd love to
01:13:37.320 see that because
01:13:38.180 I'm not sure that
01:13:40.540 it would really
01:13:41.340 address the
01:13:41.860 question.
01:13:42.060 But Meghan, this
01:13:43.740 is absolutely
01:13:44.320 typical Meghan.
01:13:45.300 She responds
01:13:47.160 to things with
01:13:47.960 just a deluge
01:13:49.740 of words.
01:13:51.340 In her court
01:13:52.020 case against
01:13:52.620 the British
01:13:53.380 newspaper, the
01:13:54.280 Mail on Sunday,
01:13:55.000 which she
01:13:55.480 accused of
01:13:57.320 breach of
01:13:57.700 privacy and
01:13:58.860 copyright when
01:13:59.680 it published
01:14:00.320 excerpts from a
01:14:01.880 letter she wrote
01:14:02.380 to her father.
01:14:03.220 This is a case
01:14:03.860 that she won,
01:14:04.420 by the way.
01:14:04.740 You should point
01:14:05.060 that out.
01:14:06.420 But in that
01:14:07.380 court case,
01:14:07.920 she basically
01:14:10.880 said that she
01:14:11.740 hadn't
01:14:12.300 collaborated
01:14:13.380 with a
01:14:15.820 biography about
01:14:17.060 Harry and
01:14:17.860 Meghan finding
01:14:18.860 freedom.
01:14:20.640 And then Jason
01:14:21.500 Pernal submitted
01:14:22.540 his own
01:14:22.960 statement to
01:14:23.820 the court and
01:14:25.900 said, well,
01:14:27.420 actually, she
01:14:28.500 did in the
01:14:29.200 sense that she
01:14:29.860 briefed me to
01:14:31.400 talk to these
01:14:31.920 authors and she
01:14:32.800 gave me talking
01:14:34.220 points.
01:14:34.940 She listed a
01:14:36.380 series of points
01:14:37.200 that she wanted
01:14:37.820 me to brief
01:14:38.520 the authors
01:14:39.220 on.
01:14:40.100 So then
01:14:40.560 Meghan just
01:14:41.580 produces another
01:14:43.280 witness statement
01:14:44.000 and it's just
01:14:44.820 pages and pages
01:14:46.140 long justifying
01:14:47.340 herself, including
01:14:49.780 saying, oh,
01:14:51.020 yeah, sorry,
01:14:52.840 yeah, I forgot
01:14:53.300 about that.
01:14:54.080 I forgot.
01:14:56.500 One of the
01:14:57.740 tabloids in
01:14:58.460 Britain did a
01:15:00.500 fantastic front
01:15:01.280 page inspired by
01:15:02.940 some children's
01:15:03.560 books that were
01:15:04.220 popular here a
01:15:04.840 few years back
01:15:06.120 and it was
01:15:07.020 called Little
01:15:07.600 Miss
01:15:07.840 Forgetful.
01:15:10.180 Really?
01:15:10.800 Yeah.
01:15:12.460 That's a
01:15:13.000 kindness to
01:15:13.920 suggest it
01:15:14.500 actually was
01:15:15.000 forgetfulness.
01:15:15.780 That is a
01:15:16.120 kindness.
01:15:16.760 I mean, that's
01:15:17.260 an obvious lie.
01:15:18.560 And it's one of
01:15:18.940 the reasons why
01:15:19.580 the mail was
01:15:20.200 saying this is
01:15:21.240 an absurd
01:15:21.680 decision.
01:15:22.480 You know,
01:15:22.700 she's lied
01:15:23.700 repeatedly.
01:15:24.420 She's lying
01:15:24.900 about her
01:15:25.800 participation in
01:15:26.640 the press
01:15:27.060 around this
01:15:27.620 letter and in
01:15:28.740 general.
01:15:29.540 And the
01:15:29.980 court, I
01:15:30.500 really think
01:15:31.060 the court
01:15:31.320 reached the
01:15:31.660 wrong decision
01:15:32.140 in that
01:15:32.440 case by
01:15:33.900 allowing her
01:15:34.640 to claim her
01:15:35.440 privacy had
01:15:35.960 been violated
01:15:36.460 when she was
01:15:37.080 the one who
01:15:37.500 helped put it
01:15:38.700 out there.
01:15:39.480 In any event,
01:15:40.600 the thing about
01:15:41.940 Meghan is
01:15:42.340 interesting, and
01:15:42.800 before we get
01:15:43.260 to Harry,
01:15:43.720 because one of
01:15:44.840 the biggest
01:15:45.080 revelations I
01:15:45.700 found in your
01:15:46.100 book was how
01:15:47.200 obsessed Harry
01:15:48.900 is, not just
01:15:50.400 about Meghan's
01:15:51.000 press, about
01:15:52.320 his own, about
01:15:53.740 him, about his
01:15:55.100 standing as
01:15:56.500 the spare, as
01:15:57.420 like, how are
01:15:58.020 they going to
01:15:58.260 write about him?
01:15:58.740 Is he going to
01:15:59.040 stay relevant?
01:16:00.060 So we'll get to
01:16:00.520 that in one
01:16:00.840 second.
01:16:01.080 But before we
01:16:01.680 leave this
01:16:02.760 particular subject,
01:16:04.040 you write in
01:16:04.720 the book that
01:16:05.220 Meghan's obsession
01:16:07.120 with her own
01:16:07.800 press in
01:16:10.000 connection with
01:16:10.500 her relationship
01:16:10.940 with Harry began
01:16:11.720 very early, and
01:16:13.220 he might have
01:16:13.660 been one of the
01:16:14.080 first people she
01:16:14.760 bullied when you
01:16:16.660 claim that she
01:16:17.680 demanded he go
01:16:19.960 out there and
01:16:21.200 announce that she
01:16:22.360 was his girlfriend
01:16:23.000 and start picking
01:16:24.360 fights with the
01:16:25.240 media to clean
01:16:26.420 up her press
01:16:27.000 coverage.
01:16:28.740 Yeah.
01:16:29.140 I mean, I'm
01:16:30.760 going to be fair
01:16:31.200 to them, I
01:16:32.240 think they
01:16:32.860 probably had a
01:16:34.180 bit of a rough
01:16:34.640 time when her
01:16:35.480 name first
01:16:36.140 appeared as
01:16:37.580 his girlfriend.
01:16:38.900 Yeah, suddenly
01:16:39.420 she's got the
01:16:40.040 whole press
01:16:41.020 camping on her
01:16:42.020 doorstep in
01:16:42.620 Toronto.
01:16:44.160 Everyone she's
01:16:45.100 ever known, every
01:16:45.860 boyfriend, every
01:16:46.760 member of her
01:16:47.260 family is being
01:16:49.060 approached by
01:16:50.640 journalists.
01:16:51.200 Yeah, that's a
01:16:53.020 rough introduction.
01:16:54.600 She loved it,
01:16:55.860 Valentine.
01:16:56.660 No, it wasn't.
01:16:57.640 I totally disagree
01:16:58.760 with you, but go
01:16:59.700 ahead.
01:17:00.220 Okay, well, we'll
01:17:01.320 have to do that.
01:17:04.200 But, yeah, they
01:17:05.980 wanted to stop
01:17:07.120 that intrusive
01:17:08.900 coverage and what
01:17:09.840 they saw as the
01:17:10.660 bad behavior of the
01:17:12.340 media.
01:17:13.740 And Meghan also
01:17:14.580 said, yeah, you've
01:17:16.160 got to acknowledge
01:17:16.640 me as your
01:17:17.040 girlfriend.
01:17:17.660 And, you know,
01:17:18.940 I've been told that
01:17:20.320 she threatened to
01:17:21.760 dump him.
01:17:22.260 That's what Harry
01:17:23.380 was frightened
01:17:24.000 of, that she
01:17:24.960 would break off
01:17:25.620 the relationship
01:17:26.260 unless he
01:17:27.880 acknowledged in
01:17:29.280 this statement
01:17:29.780 that she was
01:17:31.300 his girlfriend.
01:17:32.720 And she, there
01:17:37.120 was a hint of
01:17:38.280 what was to come.
01:17:39.880 And she said to
01:17:40.740 a senior member
01:17:41.280 of the staff, you
01:17:42.400 know, I know
01:17:43.820 how this works.
01:17:44.900 You don't care
01:17:45.480 about the
01:17:45.840 girlfriend.
01:17:46.920 So she was
01:17:47.800 already putting a
01:17:48.560 sort of combative
01:17:49.180 spin on it then.
01:17:50.140 And laying
01:17:53.580 the seeds of
01:17:55.220 a narrative about
01:17:56.960 her rejection.
01:17:58.760 And some of
01:17:59.480 those people who
01:18:00.100 worked for Harry
01:18:01.300 and Meghan said
01:18:02.760 that, you know,
01:18:03.460 she always wanted
01:18:04.260 to be rejected.
01:18:05.920 And that's what
01:18:06.280 this is all about.
01:18:06.500 That's so
01:18:06.680 interesting.
01:18:07.560 Yes, I read that
01:18:08.220 in your book where
01:18:09.000 they were saying
01:18:10.460 we're so dumb.
01:18:11.640 We always knew
01:18:12.300 that the media
01:18:13.740 coverage was going
01:18:14.760 to depend on her
01:18:15.880 happiness.
01:18:16.460 Her happiness was
01:18:17.160 going to drive
01:18:17.600 everything.
01:18:18.020 What we didn't
01:18:18.940 realize was she
01:18:20.740 wasn't interested
01:18:21.460 in happiness.
01:18:22.380 She wanted to
01:18:23.660 be rejected.
01:18:24.620 That was the
01:18:25.240 whole narrative
01:18:25.800 she was trying
01:18:26.400 to sew from
01:18:26.940 the beginning.
01:18:28.540 Yeah, that's
01:18:29.000 right.
01:18:29.180 That's what
01:18:29.400 they're saying.
01:18:30.280 Why?
01:18:30.960 Why?
01:18:31.480 Why did she
01:18:32.140 want to do
01:18:32.440 that?
01:18:35.120 If I could
01:18:36.180 delve into the
01:18:37.840 psychology of
01:18:38.620 Meghan, I would.
01:18:40.220 But it's
01:18:41.540 very funny.
01:18:43.080 She could have
01:18:43.880 done so much
01:18:44.660 good in that
01:18:45.240 job.
01:18:45.560 Because when
01:18:46.540 she first
01:18:46.960 arrived, I
01:18:47.520 thought she
01:18:47.900 was a breath
01:18:48.380 of fresh air.
01:18:49.300 I thought she
01:18:49.680 was really
01:18:49.960 interesting.
01:18:51.200 She did some
01:18:51.720 good things.
01:18:52.460 And I thought
01:18:53.480 it would do
01:18:53.980 the royal family
01:18:54.760 a lot of
01:18:55.540 good if
01:18:56.440 someone a
01:18:57.280 bit different
01:18:57.800 came in.
01:18:59.900 She'd had a
01:19:00.520 proper career.
01:19:01.920 She was
01:19:02.200 American.
01:19:02.720 She was
01:19:02.920 divorced.
01:19:03.520 She had
01:19:03.720 this special
01:19:04.360 background.
01:19:05.060 I thought it
01:19:05.800 would shake
01:19:06.640 up the royal
01:19:07.100 family.
01:19:07.900 And she did
01:19:08.500 things which
01:19:08.900 were terrific.
01:19:10.320 But she
01:19:11.640 just wanted
01:19:12.540 everything on
01:19:13.120 her own
01:19:13.440 terms and
01:19:14.280 wasn't prepared
01:19:15.840 to compromise.
01:19:17.620 And it's so
01:19:18.560 much more fun
01:19:19.280 when you are a
01:19:19.980 woke American
01:19:20.960 to be the
01:19:21.620 victim than
01:19:22.600 the victor.
01:19:23.740 It's a
01:19:24.100 sickness infecting
01:19:25.360 far too many
01:19:26.020 people in my
01:19:26.540 country and
01:19:26.960 yours.
01:19:27.720 Stand by,
01:19:28.280 because up
01:19:28.720 next, what I
01:19:29.520 really found to
01:19:30.160 be the most
01:19:30.580 revealing part of
01:19:31.680 Valentine's book
01:19:32.480 about Harry,
01:19:33.860 the guy is
01:19:34.660 obsessed.
01:19:35.700 With whom?
01:19:36.840 With his
01:19:37.180 little nephew,
01:19:38.220 Prince George,
01:19:38.860 who's coming
01:19:39.640 up behind
01:19:40.080 him and
01:19:40.520 is going
01:19:40.740 to be more
01:19:41.060 relevant than
01:19:41.540 he is very
01:19:42.040 soon.
01:19:42.780 Stand by
01:19:43.180 for that.
01:19:46.660 So,
01:19:47.160 Valentine,
01:19:47.760 the subject
01:19:48.340 of Harry,
01:19:49.160 there's been
01:19:49.640 a lot of
01:19:50.160 discussion about
01:19:51.120 whether,
01:19:51.840 you know,
01:19:53.160 Meghan did
01:19:53.680 this to him.
01:19:55.280 You know,
01:19:55.620 hearing him
01:19:56.260 read this
01:19:56.780 book and
01:19:57.380 how just
01:19:58.460 absurd he
01:20:00.120 sounded in
01:20:00.920 some of the
01:20:01.320 passages.
01:20:02.640 What a
01:20:03.720 complainer,
01:20:04.740 what a
01:20:05.120 whiner,
01:20:05.800 how he
01:20:06.080 can't stop
01:20:06.860 with the
01:20:07.200 media.
01:20:07.560 And a
01:20:08.640 lot of
01:20:08.960 people believe
01:20:09.620 she did
01:20:10.260 this to
01:20:10.600 him.
01:20:12.940 I think
01:20:13.760 your book
01:20:14.200 reveals he
01:20:15.500 was like
01:20:16.660 this long
01:20:17.720 before he
01:20:18.240 met Meghan
01:20:18.760 and then
01:20:20.040 she
01:20:20.360 exacerbated
01:20:21.320 it.
01:20:21.900 Can you
01:20:22.160 talk about
01:20:22.760 how obsessed
01:20:24.380 he was with
01:20:25.320 his media
01:20:26.060 coverage and
01:20:27.100 his relevance
01:20:28.340 before she
01:20:29.540 ever came
01:20:29.960 into the
01:20:30.260 picture?
01:20:31.620 Yeah.
01:20:32.220 I think
01:20:33.920 what happened
01:20:34.800 is those
01:20:35.960 two found
01:20:36.840 each other.
01:20:37.680 They both
01:20:38.060 have a
01:20:38.340 profound
01:20:38.740 sense of
01:20:39.280 victimhood
01:20:39.880 and they
01:20:42.760 fed off
01:20:43.920 each other
01:20:44.340 and it
01:20:44.680 just spiraled.
01:20:46.780 But yeah,
01:20:47.820 he's long
01:20:48.500 had,
01:20:50.820 I'd
01:20:51.400 characterize it
01:20:52.340 slightly differently
01:20:52.940 to the way
01:20:53.360 you characterize
01:20:53.840 it.
01:20:54.300 He's long
01:20:54.780 had a deep
01:20:56.200 hatred and
01:20:56.960 mistrust
01:20:57.400 of the media
01:20:57.900 which is
01:20:58.740 incredibly
01:20:59.460 understandable
01:21:00.060 and I think
01:21:00.760 in a funny
01:21:01.700 way I'd
01:21:02.120 think the
01:21:02.920 less of him
01:21:03.540 if he
01:21:04.100 didn't
01:21:04.480 because of
01:21:05.140 what happened
01:21:05.560 to his
01:21:05.820 mother and
01:21:06.560 the way
01:21:06.820 the media
01:21:07.220 treated his
01:21:08.220 mother,
01:21:08.980 the way
01:21:09.220 they pursued
01:21:09.960 her.
01:21:10.220 I mean,
01:21:10.380 yes,
01:21:10.600 she also
01:21:11.040 encouraged
01:21:11.800 them because
01:21:12.220 she colluded
01:21:12.780 with the
01:21:13.040 media,
01:21:13.280 we all
01:21:13.540 know that,
01:21:14.480 but she
01:21:15.880 couldn't go
01:21:16.440 anywhere without
01:21:17.100 being chased
01:21:17.680 by the
01:21:18.080 paps and
01:21:19.580 we all
01:21:19.920 know the
01:21:20.600 role that
01:21:21.020 they played
01:21:21.560 in her
01:21:22.020 death.
01:21:23.720 So his
01:21:24.040 hatred and
01:21:24.480 mistrust
01:21:24.800 of the
01:21:24.980 media is
01:21:25.320 perfectly
01:21:25.740 understandable,
01:21:26.920 but it's
01:21:27.200 very interesting
01:21:27.820 to contrast
01:21:29.500 it with
01:21:29.940 his brother,
01:21:30.660 William,
01:21:31.500 who basically
01:21:33.140 also hates
01:21:33.760 the media
01:21:34.160 really,
01:21:34.820 deep down,
01:21:35.940 but he's
01:21:36.280 learnt how
01:21:37.400 to deal
01:21:37.760 with it,
01:21:38.140 he's learnt
01:21:38.500 how to
01:21:38.860 come to
01:21:39.160 an accommodation
01:21:39.780 because he
01:21:40.180 realises
01:21:40.580 they're not
01:21:41.440 going to
01:21:41.660 go away
01:21:42.180 and also
01:21:43.880 they're not
01:21:44.260 all bad,
01:21:44.920 I mean,
01:21:46.140 the entire
01:21:46.720 gout of
01:21:47.140 media is
01:21:47.840 not the
01:21:48.340 same as
01:21:48.880 the paps
01:21:50.000 who chased
01:21:51.120 his mother
01:21:51.540 and were
01:21:52.840 around at
01:21:53.400 the beginning
01:21:53.600 of Harry
01:21:53.860 and Meghan,
01:21:54.720 but of course
01:21:55.180 Harry doesn't
01:21:56.480 recognise
01:21:57.000 subtle,
01:21:57.440 Harry doesn't
01:21:59.040 really do
01:21:59.340 shades of
01:21:59.820 grey,
01:22:00.220 he does
01:22:00.420 black and
01:22:00.860 white and
01:22:01.880 the whole
01:22:02.240 media is
01:22:02.720 awful and
01:22:03.300 evil.
01:22:05.080 So anything
01:22:06.140 that the
01:22:07.740 media got
01:22:08.240 wrong,
01:22:08.800 he would
01:22:09.080 obsessively
01:22:09.840 want to
01:22:10.400 get it
01:22:10.660 corrected,
01:22:11.200 he was
01:22:11.860 always
01:22:12.880 absolutely
01:22:13.740 focused on
01:22:14.400 getting
01:22:15.480 things
01:22:15.800 corrected.
01:22:16.680 Even
01:22:17.040 when the
01:22:19.160 BBC
01:22:19.540 had
01:22:20.100 written,
01:22:21.240 there was
01:22:21.440 a comedy
01:22:22.300 panel show
01:22:23.500 and someone
01:22:24.380 made a
01:22:27.080 joke of
01:22:27.420 about Harry
01:22:27.820 and drugs,
01:22:29.700 he's got a
01:22:30.140 friend called
01:22:31.300 Sam Van
01:22:32.340 Cutsum and
01:22:33.340 someone made
01:22:33.880 a joke on
01:22:34.480 air about
01:22:35.580 Thomas Van
01:22:38.860 Cutsum and
01:22:39.420 Harry smokes
01:22:40.060 him,
01:22:41.400 which wasn't a
01:22:42.800 bad joke,
01:22:43.320 but Harry was
01:22:44.380 just furious and
01:22:45.380 he went to
01:22:45.820 such lengths to
01:22:47.380 get the BBC
01:22:48.060 to apologise,
01:22:50.500 including having a
01:22:52.180 big meeting with
01:22:52.920 someone very
01:22:53.420 senior in the
01:22:54.260 BBC,
01:22:55.180 who said,
01:22:57.240 in a way,
01:22:57.560 quite rightly,
01:22:58.300 this is comedy,
01:22:59.960 it's a joke,
01:23:00.680 you're not meant
01:23:01.040 to take it too
01:23:01.640 seriously.
01:23:02.520 Well,
01:23:02.680 that was where
01:23:03.260 Harry was
01:23:03.900 coming from.
01:23:06.100 So he
01:23:07.160 always hated
01:23:07.960 the BBC,
01:23:08.280 always wanted
01:23:08.640 to get things
01:23:09.200 corrected.
01:23:11.160 But there was
01:23:13.160 so much else
01:23:14.120 going on with
01:23:14.860 him, even
01:23:15.360 before Meghan
01:23:16.020 turned up.
01:23:16.640 So he
01:23:17.300 always had
01:23:18.740 this mistrust
01:23:20.580 of the
01:23:21.600 courtiers from
01:23:22.340 the other
01:23:22.700 households, from
01:23:23.760 Buckingham Palace,
01:23:24.560 the Queen's
01:23:25.080 headquarters, and
01:23:25.880 from Clarence's
01:23:27.060 house, which was
01:23:27.680 his father, Prince
01:23:28.440 Charles' headquarters.
01:23:29.580 He just really
01:23:30.760 didn't trust them
01:23:31.520 at all.
01:23:33.280 And he was
01:23:33.620 always giving
01:23:37.000 loyalty tests
01:23:38.380 to his staff.
01:23:40.400 He was always
01:23:41.000 saying, you
01:23:41.480 know, are you
01:23:42.980 helping me on
01:23:43.580 this or are you
01:23:44.540 one of them?
01:23:45.160 And one of
01:23:46.160 them meant, you
01:23:47.260 know, the
01:23:47.620 other courtiers,
01:23:48.320 the other
01:23:48.540 households who
01:23:49.260 were, in his
01:23:50.260 view, compromised
01:23:51.220 and didn't
01:23:52.780 really have
01:23:53.200 his best
01:23:54.580 interest at
01:23:55.340 heart.
01:23:56.960 But his
01:23:57.280 other thing
01:23:57.760 was he had
01:23:59.100 an obsession
01:23:59.520 with his
01:23:59.920 shelf life.
01:24:02.520 Because, you
01:24:03.140 know, Harry,
01:24:04.140 for all his
01:24:04.960 faults, Harry's
01:24:05.460 got a lot of
01:24:05.880 good points.
01:24:06.540 And he wanted
01:24:06.940 to use his
01:24:07.560 position, this
01:24:09.120 privileged
01:24:09.560 position as a
01:24:10.300 member of the
01:24:10.660 royal family, to
01:24:11.600 do good in the
01:24:12.180 world.
01:24:12.820 And we saw
01:24:13.420 that in Victor's
01:24:14.860 Games, where
01:24:15.600 in the United
01:24:16.480 States, in
01:24:17.200 Colorado Springs,
01:24:18.400 you saw the
01:24:19.440 Warrior Games,
01:24:20.740 injured and
01:24:22.000 otherwise disabled
01:24:23.740 ex-service people
01:24:24.760 to take part in
01:24:26.180 sort of
01:24:26.360 Paralympic-style
01:24:27.520 games.
01:24:28.020 He thought that
01:24:28.460 was a terrific
01:24:28.920 idea.
01:24:29.880 And basically, he
01:24:30.440 was going to
01:24:30.840 steal it and
01:24:31.900 make it
01:24:32.240 international.
01:24:34.680 And he did
01:24:35.340 it incredibly
01:24:36.760 quickly.
01:24:37.260 it was like
01:24:39.320 less than a
01:24:40.000 year from
01:24:40.560 seeing the
01:24:41.120 Warrior Games
01:24:41.820 to when the
01:24:42.640 first Invictus
01:24:43.500 Games happened
01:24:44.560 in London.
01:24:45.460 So he's got a
01:24:46.440 lot of energy,
01:24:48.120 he's got a lot
01:24:48.700 of passion,
01:24:49.400 he wants to
01:24:49.980 do good.
01:24:51.220 But he
01:24:51.820 thinks, with
01:24:53.460 some justification,
01:24:55.940 that there's a
01:24:57.140 limited time in
01:24:57.980 which he can do
01:24:58.520 all that.
01:24:58.940 because, you
01:25:00.800 know, when he
01:25:01.640 becomes middle
01:25:02.620 aged, when
01:25:04.120 young royals
01:25:05.300 are coming up
01:25:06.460 the inside
01:25:07.520 track, people
01:25:08.540 aren't going to
01:25:08.940 be interested in
01:25:09.580 him, was his
01:25:10.660 view.
01:25:11.720 And so, you
01:25:12.380 know, as he
01:25:13.680 would put it,
01:25:14.320 by the time
01:25:14.800 Prince George
01:25:15.380 is 18,
01:25:16.380 everyone's going
01:25:16.880 to be focusing
01:25:17.320 on George.
01:25:18.540 No one care
01:25:19.420 less about
01:25:20.280 Paul Young.
01:25:21.820 I mean, he's
01:25:22.800 not wrong.
01:25:24.120 We want to
01:25:24.480 even know about
01:25:24.980 George and
01:25:25.580 Charlotte and
01:25:26.080 Louis now.
01:25:27.080 Never mind when
01:25:27.780 they're actually
01:25:28.380 becoming a
01:25:28.900 age and they're
01:25:29.400 adults and
01:25:29.980 George is
01:25:30.560 getting closer
01:25:31.100 to his role
01:25:31.900 in the hierarchy.
01:25:33.740 But to me,
01:25:34.620 this is so
01:25:35.040 interesting because
01:25:35.720 in part, it
01:25:36.420 explains why he
01:25:37.200 chose her.
01:25:38.160 It's no
01:25:38.560 actress.
01:25:39.220 It's no
01:25:39.560 accident he
01:25:40.300 wound up with
01:25:40.860 an American
01:25:41.300 actress.
01:25:42.360 The sizzle
01:25:43.000 of it, her
01:25:44.140 B-list fame,
01:25:46.380 her ability to
01:25:47.340 navigate the
01:25:48.200 camera.
01:25:49.300 It wasn't just,
01:25:50.260 oh, I need
01:25:50.540 somebody who can
01:25:51.120 do that here in
01:25:52.240 Great Britain because
01:25:53.060 we'll be the
01:25:53.540 subject of the
01:25:54.660 photographers.
01:25:55.540 It was, I
01:25:56.580 want another
01:25:57.160 social climber.
01:25:58.020 I think he was
01:25:58.600 a trap.
01:25:58.940 He had it
01:25:59.480 too.
01:26:01.600 I'm not sure
01:26:02.360 I agree with
01:26:02.780 that.
01:26:03.060 I mean, I
01:26:03.300 don't think
01:26:03.720 Harry craves
01:26:05.200 attention for the
01:26:06.100 sake of it.
01:26:06.540 I don't think
01:26:06.960 he wants the
01:26:09.120 spotlight to
01:26:11.540 shine on him
01:26:11.980 just for his
01:26:12.480 own sake.
01:26:13.100 I think he
01:26:13.600 always wanted
01:26:14.460 it to do
01:26:15.720 good.
01:26:16.560 I think he
01:26:17.100 and his wife
01:26:17.960 are slightly
01:26:18.700 different in
01:26:19.120 that respect.
01:26:20.440 Well, how do
01:26:20.760 you explain
01:26:21.160 Spare?
01:26:21.440 It was a
01:26:25.220 long
01:26:25.540 howl of
01:26:26.100 anguish
01:26:26.500 is what
01:26:26.860 Spare was.
01:26:27.760 I mean, just
01:26:28.380 to read it,
01:26:29.380 it's such a
01:26:30.440 sad book.
01:26:33.800 He's so
01:26:34.440 damaged and
01:26:36.000 reading about
01:26:37.560 his fractured
01:26:38.460 family relations,
01:26:39.780 it's quite an
01:26:40.600 insight to
01:26:41.180 realize that
01:26:42.220 his relationship
01:26:43.840 with his
01:26:44.200 brother was
01:26:44.840 not nearly as
01:26:45.980 good as we
01:26:46.420 thought it was.
01:26:46.880 In the days
01:26:47.320 when we still
01:26:47.780 thought it was
01:26:48.140 good, it was
01:26:48.720 not nearly as
01:26:49.480 good as we
01:26:49.800 thought it
01:26:50.160 was.
01:26:53.160 Yeah, so
01:26:53.560 Harry just
01:26:54.880 wants to
01:26:55.640 complain about
01:26:56.440 the world,
01:26:58.160 cheaply about
01:26:58.640 the media and
01:26:59.280 also about his
01:26:59.840 family.
01:27:00.440 But I know
01:27:01.900 someone who
01:27:03.020 used to have
01:27:04.000 a lot of
01:27:05.640 dealings with
01:27:06.360 William, and
01:27:08.660 William would
01:27:09.620 occasionally bring
01:27:10.420 Harry along.
01:27:11.760 And this
01:27:12.040 person said to
01:27:12.720 me, the thing
01:27:13.640 that Harry was,
01:27:15.000 he's always
01:27:15.700 complaining.
01:27:16.980 He always saw
01:27:17.840 the negative
01:27:18.560 side of
01:27:19.000 things, and
01:27:19.440 you see
01:27:20.240 this in the
01:27:21.780 book, it's
01:27:22.180 negative,
01:27:22.620 negative,
01:27:23.020 negative.
01:27:25.200 And the
01:27:26.320 way he
01:27:26.740 portrayed, so
01:27:27.700 one of the
01:27:28.360 big, big
01:27:29.260 themes in
01:27:30.380 the book is
01:27:30.860 how awful
01:27:31.540 the media
01:27:32.000 are, you
01:27:33.860 can't trust
01:27:34.440 them, and
01:27:35.100 they portray
01:27:36.140 me and
01:27:36.760 Meghan in a
01:27:37.440 terrible light.
01:27:38.360 Well, for a
01:27:38.800 start, there
01:27:39.780 was much, much
01:27:40.660 more positive
01:27:41.220 coverage of
01:27:42.180 Meghan than
01:27:43.040 he gives
01:27:43.500 credit for
01:27:44.220 for a long
01:27:45.320 time.
01:27:45.800 Yes, it
01:27:46.120 started to
01:27:46.620 get critical,
01:27:47.780 but it was
01:27:48.060 much better
01:27:48.580 than he
01:27:48.940 thinks.
01:27:49.720 And there
01:27:50.080 are specific
01:27:51.000 instances, it's
01:27:51.940 very interesting,
01:27:53.240 where he
01:27:54.560 talks about
01:27:55.140 the coverage.
01:27:56.140 And there
01:27:56.420 was a time
01:27:57.000 they'd just
01:27:58.220 got married,
01:27:59.080 they'd been
01:27:59.360 on a
01:27:59.560 honeymoon, they
01:28:00.100 would come
01:28:00.380 back, and
01:28:01.320 Meghan goes
01:28:02.000 off and has
01:28:02.540 a day out
01:28:03.200 in the north
01:28:05.280 of England
01:28:05.840 with the
01:28:07.460 Queen, what
01:28:08.180 they call
01:28:08.500 an away
01:28:08.900 day.
01:28:09.620 And they
01:28:09.920 go up by
01:28:10.480 royal train,
01:28:11.500 which was
01:28:11.940 an unusual
01:28:12.620 thing, so
01:28:13.420 it was just
01:28:13.640 the Queen
01:28:13.980 and Meghan.
01:28:14.580 And I
01:28:14.800 remember
01:28:15.000 seeing them
01:28:15.480 off the
01:28:16.120 train, I
01:28:17.900 was there
01:28:18.240 on the
01:28:18.460 platform, and
01:28:20.180 it was a
01:28:20.520 big day, and
01:28:21.300 all the
01:28:21.580 reporters up
01:28:22.160 there were
01:28:22.800 all excited.
01:28:25.160 There was a
01:28:25.780 bit of a
01:28:26.980 kerfuffle about
01:28:27.720 getting out
01:28:28.220 the car at
01:28:28.700 one point,
01:28:29.160 who did the
01:28:30.380 Queen get in
01:28:31.400 or out first,
01:28:32.120 or was it
01:28:32.500 Meghan, you
01:28:33.040 know, there
01:28:33.660 was a slight
01:28:34.040 confusion.
01:28:34.840 And people
01:28:35.240 mentioned it
01:28:35.900 in their
01:28:36.160 reports.
01:28:37.660 But Harry
01:28:38.120 says it,
01:28:38.960 the press
01:28:39.800 portrayed the
01:28:41.300 day is
01:28:41.860 unmitigated
01:28:42.720 disaster.
01:28:43.880 And I
01:28:44.380 thought, hang
01:28:45.140 on, hang
01:28:45.580 on, hang
01:28:45.880 on.
01:28:46.080 I was
01:28:46.780 there, and
01:28:47.220 I wrote
01:28:47.820 it up, and
01:28:48.460 my colleagues
01:28:49.340 wrote it up.
01:28:49.880 Let me remind
01:28:51.040 myself.
01:28:51.640 And I looked
01:28:52.080 up every
01:28:52.940 single newspaper,
01:28:53.980 including the
01:28:54.560 newspapers that
01:28:55.700 Harry hates
01:28:56.360 the most,
01:28:57.120 papers in
01:28:58.300 Britain like
01:28:58.780 The Sun and
01:28:59.360 The Daily
01:28:59.700 Mail, which
01:29:00.260 really get
01:29:01.760 all his
01:29:02.320 absolute
01:29:02.940 invective.
01:29:05.400 And I
01:29:05.940 looked them
01:29:06.240 all up, and
01:29:07.000 they were all
01:29:07.660 glowingly
01:29:08.260 positive.
01:29:09.200 I mean, it
01:29:09.560 was a lovely
01:29:09.980 day, there
01:29:10.480 were lovely
01:29:10.860 pictures,
01:29:11.300 there was
01:29:11.680 a fantastic
01:29:12.280 picture of
01:29:13.740 the opening
01:29:14.560 of some
01:29:14.880 bridge, the
01:29:16.740 Queen and
01:29:17.280 Meghan sitting
01:29:17.740 there, and
01:29:18.160 they were
01:29:18.440 laughing, so
01:29:19.600 they were
01:29:20.040 having a
01:29:20.160 right old
01:29:20.480 giggle together.
01:29:21.400 You know
01:29:21.840 how people
01:29:23.740 who have
01:29:24.040 eating disorders
01:29:24.740 have body
01:29:25.820 dysmorphia?
01:29:26.860 He's got
01:29:27.400 press dysmorphia.
01:29:29.500 Yeah, I
01:29:30.400 think that's
01:29:30.740 a pretty good
01:29:31.120 way of putting
01:29:31.580 it.
01:29:32.880 Yeah, he
01:29:34.120 thinks we're
01:29:35.260 monsters, and
01:29:36.200 he only sees
01:29:36.780 the negative,
01:29:37.400 and he forgets
01:29:38.400 about the
01:29:38.720 positive.
01:29:40.000 And it's
01:29:40.500 really hurting
01:29:41.380 him.
01:29:41.940 It's hurting
01:29:42.420 her.
01:29:43.220 She's got
01:29:43.580 the same
01:29:43.920 thing.
01:29:44.500 It's hurting
01:29:45.060 her, too,
01:29:45.860 because your
01:29:46.720 book reveals
01:29:47.400 that she
01:29:48.340 actually thought
01:29:49.180 she was going
01:29:49.800 to be the
01:29:50.340 Beyonce of
01:29:51.880 the UK.
01:29:53.760 And instead,
01:29:54.920 what we saw,
01:29:56.220 well, their
01:29:56.860 approval ratings
01:29:57.680 in the UK
01:29:58.260 have been below
01:29:59.560 water for a
01:30:00.380 long time now.
01:30:01.120 The UK has
01:30:01.660 turned on
01:30:02.080 them.
01:30:02.680 But what we
01:30:03.180 saw this week
01:30:03.880 is so has
01:30:05.500 America.
01:30:06.880 Newsweek reporting
01:30:08.060 on a poll
01:30:08.900 just out
01:30:10.020 showing that
01:30:11.820 he has
01:30:12.500 fallen 45
01:30:13.660 points in
01:30:15.380 his approval
01:30:15.800 rating here
01:30:16.920 in America
01:30:17.540 is a 45
01:30:18.240 point swing
01:30:19.240 from where
01:30:20.080 he was,
01:30:20.720 and she
01:30:21.040 has fallen
01:30:21.420 36 points
01:30:22.540 since they've
01:30:24.040 decided to
01:30:25.040 do this
01:30:25.440 press tour,
01:30:26.380 the Netflix,
01:30:27.140 the spare,
01:30:27.860 all of it.
01:30:28.620 It's not
01:30:28.980 working,
01:30:29.640 because to
01:30:30.240 your point,
01:30:31.320 no one likes
01:30:31.980 a whiner.
01:30:32.620 They don't
01:30:32.980 like it even
01:30:33.560 from somebody
01:30:34.100 who has the
01:30:34.640 right to
01:30:35.040 whine,
01:30:35.340 and they
01:30:36.140 really don't
01:30:37.020 like it
01:30:37.500 from somebody
01:30:38.280 who's
01:30:38.560 complaining
01:30:38.900 about how
01:30:39.420 small their
01:30:39.880 castle is.
01:30:42.660 Yeah,
01:30:43.860 and they
01:30:44.740 wanted to
01:30:46.060 break away.
01:30:48.100 And sure,
01:30:48.720 if they
01:30:49.180 wanted to
01:30:49.740 air their
01:30:50.060 complaints,
01:30:50.620 air your
01:30:51.180 complaints once,
01:30:52.600 but you've
01:30:53.100 got to move
01:30:53.560 on.
01:30:54.000 You've got to
01:30:54.380 prove to the
01:30:55.840 world that
01:30:56.120 you've got
01:30:56.300 something
01:30:56.520 positive to
01:30:58.140 say and
01:30:58.900 positive to
01:30:59.620 contribute.
01:31:01.140 And,
01:31:01.600 well,
01:31:02.320 we've yet to
01:31:03.000 see that,
01:31:03.460 really.
01:31:04.720 Well,
01:31:04.780 don't you
01:31:05.040 think,
01:31:05.340 I've been
01:31:06.100 watching what's
01:31:06.560 happened with
01:31:07.100 Camilla,
01:31:07.700 and I'm
01:31:08.020 old enough
01:31:08.340 to have
01:31:08.620 lived through
01:31:09.060 that whole
01:31:09.400 thing when
01:31:10.420 she was
01:31:10.940 absolutely the
01:31:12.020 villain.
01:31:12.500 She was the
01:31:13.060 third party
01:31:13.500 in the
01:31:13.700 marriage.
01:31:14.700 The world
01:31:15.340 was on
01:31:15.700 Princess Diana's
01:31:16.560 side.
01:31:17.380 We all felt
01:31:17.960 her victimhood.
01:31:19.380 As time
01:31:20.040 goes on,
01:31:20.500 you learn more
01:31:20.880 facts,
01:31:21.280 and it becomes
01:31:21.700 a little bit
01:31:22.160 more complex.
01:31:23.840 But she
01:31:25.240 wasn't out
01:31:25.860 there complaining.
01:31:27.520 She took
01:31:28.040 her licks
01:31:28.540 for years,
01:31:30.780 and that
01:31:31.240 doesn't mean
01:31:31.680 she never
01:31:32.020 tried to
01:31:32.400 shape press
01:31:32.940 behind the
01:31:33.400 scenes.
01:31:33.980 But I never
01:31:34.800 saw her out
01:31:35.480 there doing
01:31:35.960 the woe is
01:31:36.620 me tour,
01:31:37.480 like these
01:31:38.080 two,
01:31:38.560 who haven't
01:31:39.400 had it anywhere
01:31:39.920 near as bad
01:31:41.020 as she's had
01:31:41.940 it, or as
01:31:42.400 many public
01:31:43.400 figures have
01:31:44.140 it when it
01:31:44.560 comes to the
01:31:45.120 media.
01:31:45.760 Over time,
01:31:46.460 my own
01:31:46.740 experience as a
01:31:47.360 public figure is
01:31:48.080 over time,
01:31:49.560 people will
01:31:50.080 actually grow to
01:31:50.800 respect you if
01:31:52.020 you just try to
01:31:52.960 stay above it,
01:31:54.200 take your
01:31:54.560 licks,
01:31:55.340 and move
01:31:56.120 on.
01:31:56.340 Yeah,
01:31:59.640 absolutely.
01:32:00.480 And, you
01:32:00.800 know,
01:32:01.300 Camilla,
01:32:02.540 she's tough
01:32:04.340 as anything.
01:32:05.280 I think she
01:32:05.740 felt a lot
01:32:06.540 of pain when
01:32:07.460 she was getting
01:32:07.980 all this
01:32:08.280 criticism.
01:32:08.900 She had
01:32:09.420 some pretty
01:32:09.860 dark moments,
01:32:11.160 but she
01:32:11.640 knuckled down
01:32:12.520 and did the
01:32:13.480 work,
01:32:13.860 and she
01:32:14.160 knew that
01:32:14.740 it would
01:32:15.700 take years
01:32:17.220 to rehabilitate
01:32:19.800 her image,
01:32:21.240 and that's
01:32:22.520 what she was
01:32:22.940 prepared to
01:32:23.500 do.
01:32:25.280 And Harry
01:32:25.840 and Meghan
01:32:26.200 kind of wanted
01:32:27.380 instant results,
01:32:29.360 and that's
01:32:30.980 not the way
01:32:31.860 it's going to
01:32:32.180 work.
01:32:33.360 Now he
01:32:33.960 villainizes her
01:32:34.720 and says that
01:32:35.480 his negative
01:32:36.400 coverage was
01:32:37.100 as a result
01:32:37.780 of her
01:32:38.280 trading stories
01:32:39.820 about him
01:32:40.280 to improve
01:32:40.920 her own
01:32:41.500 press.
01:32:42.860 Yeah,
01:32:43.140 and even
01:32:43.480 that he gets
01:32:44.260 wrong.
01:32:44.660 He gets so
01:32:45.060 much wrong
01:32:45.520 in the book.
01:32:45.940 He basically,
01:32:48.140 by implication,
01:32:49.120 accuses her
01:32:49.960 of leaking
01:32:50.940 the details
01:32:51.700 of the first
01:32:52.980 conversation
01:32:53.560 that she
01:32:53.940 had with
01:32:54.340 William
01:32:54.560 when she
01:32:54.820 first met
01:32:55.560 William
01:32:55.840 properly.
01:32:57.140 In fact,
01:32:57.840 it wasn't
01:32:58.360 her at
01:32:58.740 all.
01:33:00.760 She talked
01:33:01.540 about it
01:33:01.960 to one
01:33:02.860 of her
01:33:03.480 aides,
01:33:04.400 and the
01:33:04.920 aide had
01:33:05.360 mentioned it
01:33:06.220 to someone
01:33:06.500 and leaked
01:33:06.840 out that
01:33:07.240 way.
01:33:07.600 The aide
01:33:07.920 actually resigned
01:33:09.020 over it.
01:33:09.860 They fell
01:33:10.560 on her
01:33:10.840 sword.
01:33:12.280 They were
01:33:12.720 later taken
01:33:13.160 back again,
01:33:14.040 but the
01:33:15.720 blame is
01:33:16.780 clear there
01:33:17.400 what happened,
01:33:18.220 and it
01:33:18.700 wasn't Camilla
01:33:19.320 leaking.
01:33:20.500 So here
01:33:21.100 we are,
01:33:21.580 Prince
01:33:21.740 Charles'
01:33:22.060 coronation
01:33:24.080 is set
01:33:24.780 for May,
01:33:25.540 and there
01:33:27.020 is tons
01:33:27.900 of speculation
01:33:28.400 about whether
01:33:28.900 they will
01:33:29.420 be there.
01:33:30.780 The palace
01:33:31.520 hasn't said
01:33:32.120 one way or
01:33:32.960 the other,
01:33:33.500 but the UK
01:33:34.840 is against
01:33:35.440 them,
01:33:36.060 and what a
01:33:37.600 spectacle it
01:33:38.420 will be if
01:33:38.980 they are
01:33:39.280 there.
01:33:39.700 There is a
01:33:40.240 very real
01:33:40.800 chance they
01:33:41.380 will be
01:33:41.740 booed and
01:33:42.880 hissed by
01:33:43.940 the British
01:33:44.280 public,
01:33:44.900 even on
01:33:45.340 such a
01:33:46.060 celebratory
01:33:46.540 day,
01:33:46.880 maybe especially
01:33:47.540 because it's a
01:33:48.720 celebratory day
01:33:49.320 of the royal
01:33:49.720 family of King
01:33:50.440 Charles.
01:33:50.720 What do
01:33:51.420 you think
01:33:51.600 is going
01:33:51.820 to happen
01:33:52.080 there?
01:33:53.460 Yes,
01:33:53.800 I mean,
01:33:54.140 goodness,
01:33:54.700 the idea
01:33:55.260 of booing
01:33:55.860 on the
01:33:56.120 coronation
01:33:56.660 would be
01:33:58.000 absolutely
01:33:58.560 horrendous.
01:33:59.920 It's very
01:34:00.580 hard to tell
01:34:02.340 what's going
01:34:02.720 to happen.
01:34:03.100 I think
01:34:05.460 it's incredibly
01:34:06.680 unlikely that
01:34:07.400 she will
01:34:07.700 come because
01:34:08.860 it will
01:34:09.220 just be
01:34:10.000 too much
01:34:10.720 of a
01:34:10.920 distraction.
01:34:11.780 Can you
01:34:12.000 imagine
01:34:12.240 those two
01:34:12.740 turning up
01:34:13.360 at Westman
01:34:13.740 Strabby,
01:34:14.240 just walking
01:34:14.760 down the
01:34:15.060 aisle,
01:34:15.320 saying,
01:34:15.660 we'll just
01:34:16.460 sit here,
01:34:17.060 don't mind
01:34:17.800 about us,
01:34:18.480 we'll just
01:34:19.080 sit here,
01:34:19.840 don't need
01:34:20.720 to pay
01:34:21.240 any attention
01:34:21.600 to us.
01:34:22.400 I can't
01:34:22.920 imagine
01:34:23.220 them doing
01:34:23.640 that.
01:34:24.880 No.
01:34:25.860 He might
01:34:26.480 turn up,
01:34:27.280 it depends
01:34:28.160 if there's
01:34:28.840 been any
01:34:29.540 kind of
01:34:29.800 reconciliation.
01:34:30.320 I think
01:34:33.200 there's no
01:34:34.040 doubt that
01:34:34.860 they will
01:34:35.240 be invited.
01:34:37.620 But in
01:34:38.420 order to
01:34:38.740 heal that
01:34:39.100 family rift,
01:34:40.160 you've got
01:34:40.540 to have
01:34:40.900 peace talks.
01:34:42.860 Peace talks
01:34:43.600 involve private
01:34:44.800 conversations,
01:34:46.620 delicate,
01:34:48.200 even painful
01:34:48.960 conversations.
01:34:50.920 And how
01:34:52.180 are those
01:34:52.420 going to
01:34:52.600 remain private?
01:34:53.280 How are
01:34:53.560 the royal
01:34:53.820 family going
01:34:54.200 to trust
01:34:54.640 Harry when
01:34:55.220 every private
01:34:56.200 conversation
01:34:56.680 he's ever
01:34:57.080 had with
01:34:57.460 them has
01:34:58.000 been blasted
01:34:58.760 all over
01:34:59.260 the media,
01:34:59.800 all around
01:35:00.100 the world?
01:35:01.000 It's tricky
01:35:01.600 to see how
01:35:02.820 it's going
01:35:03.040 to play
01:35:03.300 out.
01:35:04.640 I don't
01:35:04.880 see peace
01:35:05.820 talks as
01:35:06.300 being the
01:35:06.640 next move.
01:35:07.100 I really
01:35:07.340 think there
01:35:07.660 has to be
01:35:08.000 a while
01:35:08.500 where people
01:35:09.680 like Prince
01:35:10.280 William get
01:35:11.040 to have
01:35:11.540 their anger
01:35:12.160 and feel
01:35:13.000 it for a
01:35:13.400 bit as
01:35:13.760 opposed to
01:35:14.100 being forced
01:35:14.540 to make
01:35:14.820 up with
01:35:15.060 these two
01:35:15.380 and continue
01:35:15.820 attacking him
01:35:16.480 non-stop
01:35:17.120 knowing he
01:35:18.040 can't fight
01:35:18.460 back.
01:35:19.180 To stew
01:35:19.880 in one's
01:35:20.280 anger,
01:35:21.020 there's some
01:35:22.140 cathartic
01:35:22.700 property to
01:35:23.680 it for
01:35:24.340 some short
01:35:25.020 period.
01:35:26.100 Maybe
01:35:26.320 they'll
01:35:27.200 reconcile
01:35:27.560 eventually,
01:35:28.220 but I
01:35:28.580 don't know.
01:35:28.860 I, for
01:35:29.100 one, do not
01:35:29.500 want to see
01:35:29.780 those two
01:35:30.060 at the
01:35:30.240 coronation
01:35:30.580 and I
01:35:30.880 will be
01:35:31.200 booing
01:35:31.520 loudly
01:35:31.860 Valentine
01:35:32.260 if they
01:35:33.180 go.
01:35:33.920 Thank you
01:35:34.400 so much
01:35:34.780 for coming
01:35:35.220 on.
01:35:35.560 Good luck
01:35:36.040 with the
01:35:36.380 book,
01:35:36.700 courtiers.
01:35:37.420 It's well
01:35:37.880 worth your
01:35:38.260 time,
01:35:38.560 everyone.
01:35:38.840 You're
01:35:38.920 going to
01:35:39.100 love the
01:35:39.460 way
01:35:39.600 Valentine
01:35:39.880 writes
01:35:40.260 to him.
01:35:40.800 All the
01:35:40.980 best to
01:35:41.220 you,
01:35:41.360 sir.
01:35:42.360 Thank you
01:35:42.680 very much.
01:35:44.120 Okay,
01:35:44.520 I want to
01:35:44.760 tell our
01:35:45.020 audience
01:35:45.260 that tomorrow
01:35:46.140 Victor Davis
01:35:48.040 Hanson,
01:35:49.040 so excited
01:35:49.720 to have
01:35:49.980 VDH
01:35:50.420 back on.
01:35:51.000 Lots to
01:35:51.460 go over
01:35:51.720 with him.
01:35:52.280 Can you
01:35:52.480 imagine
01:35:52.640 what he's
01:35:52.920 going to
01:35:53.040 say on
01:35:53.220 these
01:35:53.360 documents?
01:35:53.900 That'll
01:35:54.040 be fun.
01:35:54.700 Plus,
01:35:54.920 Mike Pompeo
01:35:55.480 will be
01:35:55.720 here.
01:35:56.380 We'll
01:35:56.520 ask him
01:35:56.820 whether he's
01:35:57.180 found any
01:35:57.620 top secret
01:35:59.560 documents in
01:36:00.060 his closets
01:36:00.640 recently.
01:36:03.680 Thanks for
01:36:04.260 listening to
01:36:04.720 The Megyn Kelly
01:36:05.260 Show.
01:36:05.840 No BS,
01:36:06.740 no agenda,
01:36:07.580 and no fear.
