Lefties Losing It: Best and worst of UFC Freedom 250
It's time for Lefties Losing It.And we have a Hollywood extravaganza for you tonight.Brace yourself for A -listers.I'm going to hit you with some of the biggest names in showbiz, once universally admired, who have devolved into sad, mad lefty clowns.And we're starting with the demented ravings of Robert De Niro, who apparently hates America now.Listen to this analogy.
The phrase, we all love our country, stuck in my throat.because our country isn't so lovable right now.I hate to say it, but loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser.
Yes, De Niro, who was speaking at a leftist fundraising event, went on to spew more hate and hysteria.It's pretty much all he does now.
Can't love a country that's led by a racist, misogynist, xenophobic tyrant.And let me let me just say it.I can't love the country that's led by Donald Trump.
Now to actress Julia Roberts who has to teach a dim -witted audience how to breathe.
Just put your hand on your beating heart and just close your eyes and just take a really deep breath in and breathe in all that hope.
Oh, that crowd looked exactly as I expected.Julia Roberts then ranted and raved about the bravery of queer woman Renee Goode.That's what she called her.You know, the lunatic who got herself shot when she drove into a federal agent.And Julie also spoke about how she can't even turn on the news these days.The whole thing sounded like some sad group therapy session.
Continuing the fight that exhausts all
And to another Hollywood actress and singer, Bette Midler, who entertained the crowd with this catchy tune about fighting fascism.Yeah, they really need to consider reopening the asylums, all of them, just open all of them.At least singer and astronaut Katy Perry was doing something useful.She was enjoying the World Cup, cheering on America with her latest himbo, Justin Trudeau.Oh dear, I think this Canadian summed it up beautifully.He wrote, this man spent years lecturing Canadians about wealth inequality, reducing carbon footprint and boycotting America.
Now he flies private jets with his girlfriend worth 400 million and openly cheers for USA soccer.Let's reminisce again about when CNN were giddy with joy because Elon Musk, well, his wealth was taking a nosedive.
Tesla shares have lost half their value from the high just after Trump's election.I mean, that is a stunning drop.And it's not just Tesla facing those headwinds.There's also SpaceX.And we are just moments away from the launch to rescue NASA's stuck astronauts.Obviously, SpaceX and the Falcon rocket have been
Sadly for CNN, Elon's wealth continues to skyrocket.So now they're claiming that his wealth is frankly obscene.claiming incredibly in headlines that it's all government funded and they have even put to air the lights of Bakari Sellers who claimed Elon Musk is a white supremacist.
Elon Musk is a white supremacist who believes in things like the boy.
Oh boy.I wasn't going to finish the sentence.You may need a lawyer when this is over, Bakari.
Can I finish the next sentence?Who believes in things like the Great Replacement Theory?Honestly, Bakari.Yes.
What's wrong with what he said?
It makes him sweet.Wait a minute.Does Elon Musk not believe in the Great Replacement Theory?Is it not a racist theory that's been debunked?
Debunked by who exactly?The Southern Poverty Law Centre when they're not funding the KKK?Let's bring in Sky News contributor, Kosha Gaydar.Kosha, Elon Musk should sue those slanderous types, but tell me about why investors are so excited about SpaceX.

Get started freeThey really don't understand, and you see the analysis drop from, at least Aaron Burnett was doing something a bit economic, and then we just dropped down very quickly to the ladder of white supremacy.That's where all roads lead to.Look, it is very speculative.And even though the IPO popped, I think it's up 13 % today, I wouldn't be surprised if we see volatility, as many of these things do.There's always a little bit of hype leading up to it.But big picture - It was oversubscribed enormously, wasn't it?
Very, very oversubscribed.Because investors are betting on it, to your question of, The convergence, basically, of space infrastructure, and that we are entering the space age, and connectivity, because Starlink is part of SpaceX and is their most profitable division right now, and AI, because XAI, one of his other companies, the six companies he runs, is integrated.the perception is it will be integrated—into the infrastructure in space, data centers on Mars, colonizing Mars, all these things that he talks about.So it's a big bet for truly a new era in human civilization.And I think a lot of people bet on him because he is this genius, very unique CEO, and very good at execution.
He is certainly unique.What he's talked a lot about, which I think is more relatable for the average investor, average household, rather than the space exploration and colonizing Mars, is having these robots in every home.And he's talking about that like in the next five years, that we're going to have these little robots that are going to vacuum for you, do your ironing, do all sorts of chores and tasks around the house.I mean, is that feasible?It seems incredible to think you can have that in your home within a couple of years, even.
Yes, robotics is another one.And you're right, that's something that the everyday person can wrap their arms around.It's already happening.I mean, there is this race between the US and China.Every so often, you'll see things go viral on X and robots in the testing phase.They're still quite clunky.
They don't exactly work.But there are basic ones like the vacuum type of robots, these little discs that go around and cut the lawn.It's a long way from a human -looking robot ironing your shirts.The Isaac Asimov stuff.
That's basically what I'm waiting for.
The rate of development is exponential, so five years from now it'll look very, very different beyond what we can contemplate today.
Now to the woman who led so much of the reporting about Me Too and all sorts of allegations that she was writing up at the time, but somehow she's found a way to let Democrat Graham Plattner off the hook.
Well, let's talk about what they may or may not be willing to overlook.The accusations against Graham Plattner are not classic Me Too accusations.They're not aboutboss and a young female employee being subjected to sexual advances.They're They were mostly made in the context of consensual relationships.There are these like very sensational texts about sex.
There are allegations from former girlfriends that are not, the way my colleagues reported them, were not like classic abuse allegations.They were mostly like being his boyfriend gave me a view into him and I did not like.what I saw.
Koshar, has Jodie Cantor forgotten about what actually happened during Me Too?It wasn't just powerful people preying on subordinates.They tried to hang Justice Kavanaugh over crazy allegations of when he was a teenager.And we had people who were shamed and blacklisted for essentially being a bad date, never mind a bad boyfriend.And she is now acting like this future possible senator.
isn't worthy of that sort of scrutiny?Of course.And she was twisting herself in a pretzel, and that's what they will all do, because MeToo was weaponized.It's sad.It probably even started as a force for good for legitimate situations like the ones she's talking about, where there's sort of a power imbalance and retaliation tactics that are used as it relates to sexual assault.And it completely became a cudgel to hit anybody from the right, essentially, who's a threat to you over the head.
You mentioned Brett Kavanaugh.Trump and E. Jean Carroll, which is a joke, the whole Bergdorf -Goodman thing.She wasn't a subordinate, obviously, in that situation.And there's so many other examples of this we can go on.But it doesn't matter now, because he has won the primary.He's facing off against Susan Collins in a very blue part of Maine.
It's a very, very tight race.And so it's all hands on deck to sweep things under the rug and get him over the line.
Well, they are so desperate to win, because they think after the midterms they'll be in a position.impeach Donald Trump again, and that will take up the next two years, up until the next presidential election.So that seems to be the goal, and they are willing just to overlook anything.And this character they've selected in Maine, I mean, a lot has been said about his Nazi tattoo, which is deplorable enough as it is, but his track record is just so horrendous on so many fronts.Does he have a chance of winning?Is it genuinely a chance of becoming a senator?
Sad.But true, yes.If you look at the polls, you look at the electorate in Maine and that seat, the two seats, the two senators for Maine, it's always been tricky, where Susan Collins is a Republican in a very blue state.She's a rhino.
She's very much a Republican, namely.
Correct.And people, in her defense, they say she has to be a rhino.It's worse when someone from Texas is a rhino, but, like, she has to survive, because it's always—she's getting by by the skin of her teeth.And we are in this post -candidacy race.moment in the electorate where once the person's wearing your team jersey, blue or red, they just get behind that person.And we're not even looking anymore, much of the electorate when I say we, at who the candidate is and what their record is and all those boring things like how they voted.

Get started freeIt's not about that.He's got a D behind his name.And so all of them are going to come out.
And he won the primary with an enormous margin.Now, there's been a great deal of controversy about a World Cup referee with suspected terror ties being denied entry into the US.Gary Neville has been among pundits who's labelled the decision to ban Somalian referee Omar Attan as ridiculous, and he's questioned America's tolerance.Kosha, al -Qaeda -linked terror group al -Shabaab has also reacted strongly to the decision.
Then maybe we're doing something right, if you're getting that reaction.The only kernel truth, if you want to give him a point, is that we're not taking it seriously.seriously as a nation in general.And so when we do take it seriously in cases like this, it feels a little bit.unserious when you have 20 million illegals poured in over the border and all the rest of it, legal and illegal.However, coming to the U .
S.is not a right.It's a privilege.Doesn't matter if you're a referee.I would also add, I don't know what his position was, but a lot of people from the left were very happy when Australia and America under Joe Biden banned Djokovic because he wouldn't take the vaccine for a match.And he was a player, he was actually competing to win another Grand Slam title.
And many of them were very happy because it was all about the vaccine and that whole fiasco that we lived through.But now when it's something different, different administration doing it, it's easy for them to cry foul.
And FIFA kind of has asked everyone to calm down, but they also reportedly are going to be paying this referee for all his match payments that he's going to miss.So I don't know if that's an endorsement, because FIFA are a fairly rotten body themselves.
Kind of trying to play both sides, and good for him.He doesn't have to do the work, and he can get paid.
Now, there's been a lot reported about Iran accessing $300 billion in a deal with the US to help it rebuild damaged infrastructure.The funds would come from the Gulf Coast Coalition.But, Kosha, that's only if the Iranian regime sticks to the conditions of a deal.How likely is that?Because that regime is deeply fractured.And that's why it's been so troublesome in coming to an arrangement that they're going to actually stick to.
And people are very, very sceptical for exactly that reason.It is a performance based measure.As you say, carrot and stick aspects to the deal.The stick, of course, is the threat of US military action, which Trump has now demonstrated that he is repeatedly willing to do.And then the carrot is, hey, you can make some money or we can unfreeze the deal.sanctions, if you cooperate against all the other things that are in the deal.
Are they going to stick to it?And also, who's going to monitor it and who's going to enforce it?And these are all the questions, which is why a lot of people look at this as it's a paper deal.It's kind of like a Rorschach test, that everybody can look at it and see what they want to see, criticize what they want to criticize.take a win and get back to domestic affairs.The Iranians will do what they've been doing and America will have to do its part.
I don't know why they need a deal.
They've eliminated 100 high -ranking members of the leadership there.They've pretty much eliminated the Navy, the Air Force.Why can't America use its might just to secure the Strait of Hormuz so the ships can come and go as they wish?don't do a deal with Iran.The goal was to eradicate their nuclear program.If you've done that, let them sort out the rest on their own.
They can rebuild and the Gulf nations can assist them if they want.It really is, I don't know, perplexing to me why the Trump administration is determined to walk out of this conflict with some sort of a deal?
I think a couple of things.One is so they can point to something, because this was very unpopular.He never sold it properly to the base back home.And this allows sort of a wrapper, a package that he could point to leading up to the midterms.Oh, look, we accomplished something.Because it was never as concrete as, for example, Venezuela, which was amazing, and the whole world was amazed with how that went down, versus here.
Many say that right after the Ayatollah was taken out in 48 hours, he should have called it a Venezuela and gotten out.I think the other reason is the straight.that that really became real.It was always a theoretical risk that 20 percent of global shipping could be controlled by this regime.And it became real because of the conflict and it disrupted the entire global economy.So I think there's a bit of culpability there, probably, that the Trump administration feels in restoring it.
I think you're right.I mean, it's all moot now.But if hejust decimated the nuclear sites, killed the Ayatollah and said, job done, we did it in 48 hours, let's get on with domestic affairs, that would have saved him a lot of problems domestically.Now, before you go, I want to play this clip from Spencer Pratt.His campaign to be mayor of L .
A.is over, but he's not going anywhere.
A lot of dim -witted jerks thought I was in this for a grift, that I was gonna roll up and leave town if I didn't get into City Hall.It's just not fair.Hey morons, I didn't get in this for political power.I got in this to expose this corrupt machine and nothing has changed.You enjoy your worthless meetings in City Hall.

Get started freeNithya, you have all this information, you're running for mayor.
Show what you're really about or get the f*** out of the race.I wanna be lighting you up every single day and now I don't have to worry about offending CNN viewers.I don't have a campaign, laws hamstringing me now.It's war.It's zero hour for Los Angeles.Angelenos are now stuck with two morons responsible for all their problems and they have to choose between dumb and dumber.
That's not a choice.That's the machine protecting the machine.And now every problem that plagues Los Angeles because of these two corrupt communists is going to accelerate.
Koschei also says he's got evidence of all sorts of misdeeds by a high -ranking candidate and he's going to release that during the campaign at some point.
It is going to be interesting.It still is such a sad story that he's out, and, you know, we've been covering that.But I think his main goal was to win.Angelinos would have been better off if that had happened, though it was always a long shot.His secondary goal, if we take him at his word, to expose the corruption, he's done that.Just the way the election happened, he exposed it.
He was saving up all these things that supposedly he has in his back pocket for the general.Now he's just going to release it.Supposedly, he's going to join a family member of Karen Bass in a lawsuit.These are unconfirmed reports.I saw it.Yeah, I think his own brother is taking some legal action.
It's been reported.So— Fun times.I can see him showing up in their city hall and— Yeah, didn't he?thorn in her side.Yeah, I don't think he's going anywhere.
And I think the treatment that the likes of Jimmy Kimmel have meted out is just going to energize him further.Kosha Gaynor, thank you so much for your time.Pleasure.Now the UFC fight at the White House was truly a spectacle.We showed you some of the patriotism on display yesterday.Fighter Michael Chandler walked alongside 100 -year -old Medal of Honor recipient Royce Williams to the octagon.
Williams shot down four enemy jets in the Korean War and served over 110 combat missions in the Vietnam War.Just spectacular stuff.But if you ask Rosie O'Donnell, who happens to be back in America, I thought she fled, she claims all those fans who attended the UFC are racist, homophobic, and of course, un -American.
Yes, and that's exactly what Trump is, and that's exactly what his fans are.Racist, homophobic, un -American.
Joining me now is broadcaster and Sky News contributor Didi Dunleavy.Didi, what did you make of the UFC at the White House?I mean, some of those shots were spectacular, particularly the wide aerial shots.
They do it well, don't they?Look, I don't like fighting.I don't like seeing people - You don't like the UFC?I don't like seeing people hit each other, but - Well, then, yeah.It's not gonna be for you, is it?Not the actual fighting part of it.
But as a spectacle, I loved it.The red, white, and blue, the music, the pride that those people have in their country, like the patriotism.It's like when the British do the Trooping of the Colour.Yes, it was a lot like that.Any of those traditions, ceremony, all of that.But cooler.
But the UFC, it was so American, and yet somehow RosieO'Donnell in her demented mind managed to find it There's something very wrong with her.And it all came from a joke that was made by one of the fighters, Josh Hockett, who said that...
I'm going to play you that because, yes, that was probably the most controversial moment of the day.And that even includes Sean Strickland getting arrested and escorted from the site.We'll have that later.But Josh Hockett had this to say about former First Lady Michelle Obama.
Michelle Obama is a murderer.
Probably not the place for that joke, but it is the UFC.Maybe don't do it at the White House.What did you make of it?There's been calls now for Donald Trump to come out and apologise.I mean, he didn't say it.Why should he apologise?
No, and that leads into my point.One man made a comment.Somehow Rosie O'Donnell then painted all Trump supporters that they agreed with the same comment that he made.So to broaden like that is such a sort of a leftist groupthink way of approaching things.with it all.Nobody should have to apologise for it.

Get started freeAnd there was probably a degree of humour in it.And I'd like...
I don't think he really thinks Michelle's a man. I think it's a joke.And it's one that's done the rounds on the internet for a long time.It wasn't an original joke, let's put it that way.Now, Sean Strickland, one of the UFC's most popular fighters, a champion, was reportedly told not to attend this UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House.But he showed up anyway.Have a look.
He was escorted out of there without shoes.I don't know how...his shoes went during that arrest.It was still apparently recording in the divvy van.Sean Strickland is a unique catch.He's one of the colourful identities in the UFC.
So, again, the day had everything, including that.
Yeah, I don't know what to make of him, actually.He certainly has divided conservatives because he was very critical or has been very critical of Donald Trump and the military action in Iran.But I think at the heart of it.I have to admire his freedom of speech and he says what he thinks and he's got an enormous following because of it.He is unique, isn't he?He's just one of those people you can't look away from.
You cannot, you cannot.
Now let's move to the World Cup and Carpo Verde, I didn't even know this was a country, I've got to be honest.
