‘Emmanuel would know the difference': Brigitte Macron is a woman because ‘she says so'
This comes as French President Emmanuel Macron sued influencer Candace Owens over assertions that Brigitte Macron is a biological male.
'On this show, we're always unafraid to tackle the most confronting questions of the day, especially when they highlight the hypocrisy of the left, and today's big question is a very simple one: Is Brigitte Macron a man?' Mr Dean said.
'I say a very simple one because it is an easy question to answer. No, Brigitte Macron, the wife of the French President Emmanuel Macron, is a woman. How do we know? Because Brigitte says so.
'And you would assume that, being a gallant and romantic Frenchman, Emmanuel would know the difference.
'Now, in case you don't know who Candace Owens is, she is a rather eccentric, albeit sometimes entertaining podcaster and conspiracy theorist with some seriously disgusting views about Jews who has a fixation that Brigitte Macron was born a boy and at some point transitioned.'

Pauline Hanson shares fiery comeback to Charlotte Walker after Net Zero debate
One Nation senator Pauline Hanson has responded to Australia's youngest senator Charlotte Walker after she was accused of 'completely disregarding' the next generation and farmers by calling for Australia to abandon its net zero target. Senator Hanson, a long-time climate change denier, introduced the motion on Monday following Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce's private members Bill calling for the same thing. The motion failed, with just the four One Nation senators, United Australia Party senator Ralph Babet and coalition senators Matt Canavan and Alex Antic voting in favour. In the debate preceding the vote, Labor's new senator for South Australia Charlotte Walker fired back at the motion. Pauline Hanson has shared a comeback to senator Charlotte Walker. 'All I can say is, are you kidding?' the 21-year-old told the Senate. 'The motion put forward on net zero indicates a severe lack of knowledge and a complete disregard for the future of our generation, the future of our country. 'Without a net zero target, there will be no Australian farmers, businesses or industries to support us. 'Net zero is waking up to a reality that Senator Hanson has not been able to grasp. In fact, Senator Hanson seems to be hellbent on exacerbating all of the consequences of climate change.' However, following Ms Walker's remarks, Hanson shared a fiery comeback on Sky News, accusing Walker of being a hypocrite. 'She said she grew up on the farm – a farm that uses diesel and petroleum products to actually do the farming. I don't think she really understands about what net zero is,' she told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio. 'Most of those parliamentarians have no idea about net zero … they can't debate you on the issue, they don't know the facts or figures, and this is why they just come in there and they just vote whatever way the winds blowing.' Charlotte Walker earlier accused Pauline Hanson of disregarding the future of younger generations and farmers. Picture: NewsWire / Martin Ollman Senator Hanson laughed, and added Walker shouldn't come in thinking she's going to 'tell me what I know or what I don't know when I have been dealing with this for many years'. 'She's no sooner out of bloody university and out of her nappies than she's telling me I don't know what the hell I'm talking about when I've been on the floor of parliament for the last nine years,' she said. 'I don't take any notice of her, who's just trying to make her place in this parliament – and congratulations.' 'They're gutless' Earlier, Senator Hanson challenged Coalition opponents of net zero to stand up and support her motion. Senator Hanson said her motion would out opposition 'cowards'. 'They're gutless, you know, they're cowards,' she told Sky News when asked about the prospect of Coalition senators not backing her motion. 'Because a lot of these people on the floor of parliament have no understanding, cannot debate you about climate change. 'They don't even know anything about it. 'They're making decisions and voting on it.' Mr Joyce's Bill proposes to abandon Australia's carbon-neutral target by 2050. The target is in line with goals set by other developed economies, but the task has been complicated by rapid energy demands from emerging economies and global disruptions driven by increased conflicts, such as Russia's war in Ukraine. Among Mr Joyce's supporters gathered outside Parliament House was fellow former Nationals leader Michael McCormack, another hefty voice in the party. Liberal MP Garth Hamilton also joined him, making him the only member of the senior Coalition partner to do so.

Thailand accuses Cambodia of 'flagrant violation' of truce
Thailand accused Cambodia on Wednesday of a "flagrant violation" of a truce deal to end cross-border fighting, saying Cambodian troops launched an overnight attack on the frontier. The nations agreed a ceasefire starting Tuesday after five days of clashes killed at least 43 on both sides, as a long-standing dispute over contested border temples boiled over into open combat on their 800-kilometre (500-mile) frontier. But Thailand's foreign ministry said its troops in Sisaket province "came under attack by small arms fire and grenade assaults launched by Cambodian forces" in an offensive which continued until Wednesday morning. "This represents a flagrant violation of the ceasefire agreement," said a foreign ministry statement. Thai government spokesman Jirayu Huangsab also reported overnight clashes but said in a statement "the Thai side maintained control of the situation" and "general conditions along the border are reported to be normal" from 8:00 am (0100 GMT). Cambodia has previously denied breaking the truce, designed to end fighting which has seen the two countries evacuate a total of more than 300,000 people from the border region. An AFP journalist on the Cambodian side who heard a steady drumbeat of artillery fire since fighting began last Thursday reported hearing no blasts between the start of the truce and Wednesday morning. - 'Still fragile' - The armistice got off to a shaky start in the early hours of Tuesday, with Thailand accusing Cambodia of continuing attacks in "a clear attempt to undermine mutual trust" -- before peace generally prevailed. Meetings between rival commanders along the border -- scheduled as part of the pact -- went ahead, with Thailand's army saying de-escalation steps were agreed including "a halt on troop reinforcements or movements that could lead to misunderstandings". But later in the day a foreign affairs spokeswoman for Bangkok's border crisis centre, Maratee Nalita Andamo, warned: "In this moment, in the early days of the ceasefire, the situation is still fragile". Jets, rockets and artillery have killed at least 15 Thai troops and 15 Thai civilians, while Cambodia has confirmed only eight civilian and five military deaths. The flare-up has surpassed the death toll of 28 in violence that raged sporadically from 2008 to 2011 over the territory, claimed by both nations because of a vague demarcation made by Cambodia's French colonial administrators in 1907. The peace pact was sealed in Malaysia after intervention from US President Donald Trump -- who both Thailand and Cambodia are courting for a trade deal to avert his threat of eye-watering tariffs.
