‘They take no prisoners': South Park creators ‘couldn't care less' about outrage over Trump episode

Sky News AU29-07-2025
Sky News host Paul Murray has reacted to a clip from an episode of South Park which pokes fun at the US President and Paramount's settlement with Donald Trump.
'As a person who likes Donald Trump, who understands how he won, who understands how he lost and then understands how he won again – the South Park thing was hilarious. Was really funny,' he said.
'One of the best ways that you can always have a crack at the powerful is to take the piss, is to laugh, and that's what they decided to do.'
Mr Murray claims the South Park creators 'couldn't care less' about the outrage over the episode.
'They take no prisoners ... that's their kind of humour and long may it reign,' he said.

India pauses plans to buy US arms after Trump's tariffs

New Delhi has put on hold its plans to procure new US weapons and aircraft, according to three officials familiar with the matter, in India's first concrete sign of discontent after tariffs imposed on its exports by President Donald Trump dragged ties to their lowest level in decades. India had been planning to send Defence Minister Rajnath Singh to Washington in the coming weeks for an announcement on some of the purchases, but that trip has been cancelled, two of the people said. Trump, on August 6, imposed an additional 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods as punishment for Delhi's purchases of Russian oil, which he said meant the country was funding Russia's invasion of Ukraine. That raised the total duty on Indian exports to 50 per cent - among the highest of any US trading partner. The president has a history of rapidly reversing himself on tariffs and India has said it remains actively engaged in discussions with Washington. One of the officials said the defence purchases could go ahead once India had clarity on tariffs and the direction of bilateral ties, but "just not as soon as they were expected to". Written instructions had not been given to pause the purchases, another official said, indicating that Delhi had the option to quickly reverse course, though there was "no forward movement at least for now". Post publication of this story, India's government issued a statement it attributed to a Ministry of Defence source describing news reports of a pause in the talks as "false and fabricated." The statement also said procurement was progressing as per "extant procedures". Delhi, which has forged a close partnership with America in recent years, has said it is being unfairly targeted and that Washington and its European allies continue to trade with Moscow when it is in their interest. Reuters is reporting for the first time that discussions on India's purchases of Stryker combat vehicles made by General Dynamics Land Systems and Javelin anti-tank missiles developed by Raytheon and Lockheed Martin have been paused due to the tariffs. Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had in February announced plans to pursue procurement and joint production of those items. Singh had also been planning to announce the purchase of six Boeing P8I reconnaissance aircraft and support systems for the Indian Navy during his now-cancelled trip, two of the people said. Talks over procuring the aircraft in a proposed $US3.6 billion ($A5.5 billion) deal were at an advanced stage, according to the officials. Boeing, Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics referred queries to the Indian and US governments. Raytheon did not return a request for comment. India's deepening security relationship with the US, which is fuelled by their shared strategic rivalry with China, was heralded by many US analysts as one of the key areas of foreign-policy progress in the first Trump administration. Delhi is the world's second-largest arms importer and Russia has traditionally been its top supplier. India has in recent years, however, shifted to importing from Western powers like France, Israel and the US, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute think-tank. The shift in suppliers was driven partly by constraints on Russia's ability to export arms, which it is utilising heavily in its invasion of Ukraine. Some Russian weapons have also performed poorly on the battlefield, according to Western analysts. The broader US-India defence partnership, which includes intelligence sharing and joint military exercises, continues without hiccups, one of the Indian officials said. India also remains open to scaling back oil imports from Russia and is open to making deals elsewhere, including the US, if it can get similar prices, according to two other Indian sources. Trump's threats and rising anti-US nationalism in India have "made it politically difficult for Modi to make the shift from Russia to the US," one of the officials said.

Israel faces backlash over Gaza war escalation plan

Israel's security cabinet approved a plan to take control of Gaza City, a move expanding military operations in the shattered Palestinian territory that drew strong rebukes internationally. Germany, a key European ally, announced it would halt exports of military equipment to Israel that could be used in Gaza. Britain urged Israel to reconsider its decision to escalate the Gaza military campaign. However, US President Donald Trump's ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, told Reuters that some countries appeared to be putting pressure on Israel rather than on the militant group Hamas, whose deadly attack on Israel in 2023 ignited the war. In Israel, families of hostages held by militants in Gaza, and opposition leaders blasted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for a decision that they said would put hostages' lives at risk. Far-right allies in Netanyahu's coalition have been pushing for a total takeover of Gaza as part of his vow to eradicate Hamas militants, though the military has warned this could endanger the lives of remaining hostages held by militants. Opposition leader Yair Lapid called the decision to send Israeli forces into Gaza City a disaster, saying it defied the advice of military and security officials. Netanyahu told Fox News that the military intended to take control of all of Gaza. The announcement from the prime minister's office early on Friday after Thursday's security cabinet meeting said the military would take Gaza City, but did not say if Israeli forces would take all of the enclave. Israel's cabinet is expected to endorse the Gaza City plan. The military has said that it controls around 75 per cent of Gaza. Amir Avivi, a retired Israeli brigadier general, estimated that if the military did take Gaza City, it would give Israel control of about 85 per cent of the strip. "Gaza City is the heart of Gaza. It's really the centre of government. It has always been the strongest and even in the eyes of Hamas, the fall of Gaza City is pretty much the fall of Hamas," said Avivi. "Taking over Gaza City is a game changer." European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was among foreign leaders urging Israel to reconsider its decision to advance into Gaza City. Regional power Saudi Arabia, which has said it could not normalise ties with Israel without the establishment of a Palestinian state, condemned any move to occupy Gaza. In recent weeks, Britain, Canada and France said they could recognise a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly next month. The Hostages Families Forum, which represents many families of captives in Gaza, said the pursuit of occupying Gaza means abandoning the hostages, all while ignoring public support to immediately end the war in a deal that releases the hostages. It said in a statement that the security cabinet had chosen to "embark on another march of recklessness, on the backs of the hostages, the soldiers, and Israeli society as a whole". "I think it's a death sentence to all the hostages that are still being held there. And it's the wrong decision to do it at this time," Danny Bukovsky, a hotelier in Tel Aviv, said of the announcement that Israeli forces would move into Gaza City.

‘Extremists': Trump offical's South Park rage

One of the Trump officials targeted by South Park in its ongoing brutal take-down of the White House has hit back saying the creators are 'petty' and 'lazy'. US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has blasted the 'liberals and extremists' and accused them of 'making fun of women'. In its new season South Park, created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, has gone to town on the Trump administration. In multiple episodes it has portrayed the US president as having tiny genitalia and being the whiny boyfriend of an exasperated Satan. South Park has also now focused on Ms Noem who has spent a lot of time in her role donning a flak jacket and blue police cap as she joins officers on immigration raids. The raids have been lauded by Trump supporters as rounding up illegal immigrants but criticised by other for being cruel and sweeping up law abiding US residents. In episode two of the new season, in her flak jacket and cap, she raids at Dora the Explorer concert hauling away Dora and arrest anyone vaguely Hispanic. She also continually shoots dogs – in a reference to the time the real Ms Noem shot her family's dog in a gravel pit after she grew tired of its behaviour. Her face also droops and falls off in an unkind nod top her plastic surgery and Botox. Speaking to podcaster Glenn Beck on Thursday, US time, Ms Noem criticised the episode but admitted she hadn't seen the episode in question. 'It never ends. But it's so lazy to constantly make fun of women for how they look. 'Only the liberals and the extremists do that. 'If they wanted to criticise my job, go ahead and do that, but clearly they can't,' she added. 'They just pick something petty like that.' Yes, the show did poke fun at her plastic surgery. But her portrayal was mostly about how she dies her job. Rather than just letting South Park, a show which has famously skewered just about everyone, slide, the Trump administration has been pushing back on its new series. Which, of course, has just made it seem like the White House is thin skinned and has keep the show in the headline and likely rating. 'This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention,' a White House spokesman raged after the first episode featuring Mr Trump. After last week's second episode, which also featured JD Vance, the vice president tweeted an image of himself from the show and tweeted 'Well, I've finally mead it'. The South Park account retweeted the image with the caption 'Wait, so we ARE relevant'' and then added the hashtag 'eat a bag of d****s'.
