‘Radical and pointless': Protesters interrupt RFK Jr during Senate hearing on HHS budget
Centre of the American Experiment President John Hinderaker weighed in on the recent spectacle at a congressional hearing where protesters disrupted Robert F Kennedy Jr's hearing on Capitol Hill.
"How radical and how pointless," Mr Hinderaker told Sky News Senior Reporter Caroline Marcus.
"It was completely irrelevant. And you see this from the left all the time.
"These congressional hearings get disrupted frequently. It is always by leftists. Conservatives just don't do this."

Authorities worry key Madeleine McCann suspect could ‘flee and disappear' amid renewed search
Sky News contributor Sophie Elsworth has discussed the renewed search for British girl Madeleine McCann who went missing back in 2007 while she was on holiday with her parents. Ms Elsworth claims authorities are concerned that the prime key suspect, German man Christian Brueckner, may 'flee and disappear' when he's released from prison. Mr Brueckner is currently serving a seven-year sentence for rape and has always denied any involvement in Madeleine McCann's disappearance. 'They've gone back to this area near where Madeleine McCann went missing, and they're doing this giant search that will go on all week long,' Ms Elsworth told Sky News Australia.

'Wake up to the reality': Nationals leader David Littleproud claims 2050 net zero goal not possible without nuclear energy
Nationals leader David Littleproud has claimed Australia's goal to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 is not possible without nuclear energy and other 'pragmatic approaches'. Speaking to Sky News host Chris Kenny on Tuesday night, Mr Littleproud said the Labor government's 'all renewables approach' would bring a 'far more harsher' experience for Australians than just energy bills going up. 'We're living with the physical consequence of our prime agricultural land being ripped up with transmission lines, solar panels and wind turbines, and the actual natural environment's also being destroyed in trying to achieve this,' he said. On Sunday, Energy Minister Chris Bowen recommitted to expanding renewables developments across the country in order to meet ambitious emissions reductions targets and reach net zero by 2050. Mr Bowen also suggested Australia could soon introduce targeted tariffs on imports deemed emissions-intensive. Mr Littleproud said his party, which represents regional Australians, had been 'sensible' with its technology agnostic approach. 'We should have nuclear energy as part of that solution. But you should also look at countries that are looking at having a mixed energy grid, not an all renewables approach,' he said, referencing Japan. 'Japan's importing our coal and gas, burning it, capturing it, and bringing it back here and storing it here in Australia.' Asked if it was possible for a developed economy to achieve net zero by 2050, Mr Littleproud said it would not be a realistic goal 'without nuclear energy or carbon capture storage', as well as other 'pragmatic approaches' like using methane for agricultural purposes. 'Unless we see that, then obviously I think the world is going to have a realisation that's going to be very difficult. In fact, they're realising that now,' he said. 'Many of the countries that have made these grand commitments are now saying, 'look, the easy stuff has already been done, the hard stuff now is costing us a lot' and there is going to be a realisation at some point.' Mr Littleproud said Australia was 'blessed' to have sovereignty of its resources but insisted a mixed grid and 'sensible economy' was within reach. The Nationals leader added a mixed grid would give Australia with a healthy environment and create a 'far wealthier country', but called for the extreme parties in the energy debate to 'lay down their arms' and 'wake up to the reality'.

‘Little signs of being resolved': Trade tensions continue to ‘dog the market'
CommSec's Tom Piotrowski claims the trade tensions which continue to 'dog the market' have shown little signs of being resolved in recent days. 'The upswing that we saw for the US market last night for the second day was quite surprising – so from its worst to its best levels,' he told Sky News Australia. 'The S&P 500 rose by the better part of a per cent – it finished the session with a gain of around 0.6 of a per cent. There are a couple of factors contributing to that.'
