Speaker 1: hour Alex Stein will have the latest from the US.

15
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: list celebrities, including this clown.

16
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 3: America's philistine president has had himself appointed head of one

17
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 3: of our premier cultural institutions.

18
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: But first volunteer firefighters and farmers gathered in huge numbers

19
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,559
Speaker 1: in Melbourne, CBD today to protest the state government's expanded

20
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: emergency services tax. They travel to the steps of Parliament

21
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: in convoy from all corners of the state demand just

22
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: center Alan scrapped the controversial tax amid the disastrous drought

23
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: that is crippling many parts of the state.

24
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 4: Is this another expense we don't need? I mean, the

25
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 4: problem of we've got now risk fite profile is huge.

26
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 4: I've really these fixed costs and this is just another

27
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 4: big fixed cost we don't need. I mean, the flow

28
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 4: on effect is going to be huge, hecause, I mean,

29
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 4: this money's going to leave leave our districts. It's going

30
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 4: to end up down here. And now, if it was

31
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 4: going back into our CFA, back where we are, wouldn't

32
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 4: be quite so bad. But we know for a fact

33
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 4: it's coming down here to filter center Allen's big black

34
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 4: hole in the budget.

35
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 3: Now.

36
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: The outcry comes as farmers in draft to ravaged areas

37
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: are being forced to send thousands of dairy cows to

38
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: be slaughtered as they don't have sufficient feed to keep

39
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: them alive and healthy. The cost of hay has gone

40
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: up considerably in the last week alone. Farmers say that

41
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: the Alan government has failed to provide adequate support, instead

42
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: slugging them with yet another tax. Joining me now for

43
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: more on This is News Corps senior writer Patrick Carli

44
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: and Patrick, the farmers and indeed many in regional areas

45
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: are furious. There does seem to be this divide between

46
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: the city and regional areas, and people out there are

47
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: doing it tough.

48
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Look, the farmers have got the triple whammy today.

49
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 2: Basically they've got a draft, they've raising rising feed prices,

50
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: and they've got this ridiculous new tax which who knows

51
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 2: who came up with this idea to this tax. I mean,

52
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 2: let's just punish the people who are doing it tough.

53
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: It's tinued, it's ridiculous, it should be scrapped, and you'd like, look,

54
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 2: I welcome the farmers coming out in four They've got

55
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 2: some very legitimate grip.

56
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: It takes a lot for them to leave their farms,

57
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: travel hours in some cases to go to the steps

58
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: of Parliament. They're not people who protest at the drop

59
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: of a hat. But things are pretty grim, as you said,

60
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: and we've got the Victorian state budget today, biggest debt

61
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: in the country, bigger state debt, and an annual interest

62
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: bill that's hitting ten billion dollars shortly. That is frightening

63
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: and all they seem to have is property taxes, and

64
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: this is yet another one.

65
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: Well, look, the taxes are gone up. If you look

66
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 2: at the budget today, the taxes have gone up from

67
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: thirty one billion dollars in twenty two to twenty three

68
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: to forty one billion dollars in twenty eight.

69
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: Twe and they say there's no new taxes.

70
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: And at the same time, we've got this debt going

71
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: up to I think one hundred and ninety four billion dollars.

72
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: That works out it's ten billion dollars in interest per year.

73
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 2: That works out to a million dollars an hour in

74
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: interest repayment. It's crazy.

75
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: You said, you hope that just into Allen government will

76
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: scrap this tax. Is there any likelihood of that happening

77
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: given the distraits therein financially.

78
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: Look, what I get upset about is the naked gouging

79
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: that this government does. They just attack people who are

80
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 2: asset rich to try and pay down on those debts

81
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 2: that they created over the course of the last nine years.

82
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: They're not cutting spending, They're just whacking Victorians who have

83
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 2: been whacked over and over in so many different ways

84
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: over so many years.

85
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: Now to the other big news today, the coalition is

86
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: no more. Nationals leader David Little Proud announcing earlier today

87
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: that the Nationals will not be reinstating a coalition agreement

88
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: with the Liberals at this time. Here's what you have

89
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: to say.

90
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 5: Our party room has got to a position where we

91
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 5: will not be re entering a coalition agreement with the

92
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 5: Liberal Party after this election. What we have got to

93
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 5: a position is that the National Party will sit alone

94
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 5: on a principal basis their need to we discover who

95
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 5: they are and what they want to be. We're very

96
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 5: clear about who we are and why we're here.

97
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: Patrick. Is this heading for divorce or is it just

98
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: a trial separation and they're going to kiss and make

99
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:14,559
Speaker 1: up before the next election.

100
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 2: I think it's a time out, you'd call it at

101
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 2: this stage. Look, the Nationals did pretty well at the election.

102
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: They did.

103
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: I think they've lost one seat, and over the last

104
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: two elections the Liberals got smashed. The Liberals don't know

105
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 2: who they are or what they want to be. They

106
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 2: don't know how they're going to appeal to particularly young

107
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 2: people and to women in those electorates where they did

108
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 2: so poorly. The Nationals, in contrast, actually did very well

109
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 2: they want to prosecute the policies that they took to

110
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: the election and those policies which won over electorates in

111
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 2: a very successful way. So look, I think you can

112
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 2: assume they probably get back together at some point. They

113
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: have split three times previously, which I didn't realize. It

114
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: does happen from time to time, and it probably is

115
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 2: a good time for a time out.

116
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: Well, the Nationals seem to have a much firmer idea

117
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: of who they are, what they stand for, and it

118
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: speaks to the electorate because as you said, they did

119
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: pretty well in an election campaign that was disastrous for

120
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: the coalition. Overall, there's only I think five or six

121
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: seats between them. The Nationals could be the lead opposition,

122
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: which would mean the Prime Minister or the alternative prime

123
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: Minister could come from them, So it's quite a different

124
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: set of circumstances to what we've seen in the past.

125
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: Look, I think it just emphasizes that regional city divide,

126
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 2: which has been really growing rapidly, especially over the last

127
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 2: ten years. What the Bush is talking about and what

128
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: the Bush cares about is dramatically different to the retoric

129
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: coming out of camera and out of the Capital cities.

130
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 2: They have their own interests and they did good. The

131
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 2: Nationals did a good job of representing those interests, and

132
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: it'll be interesting to see. Look, I don't know how

133
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: you change that divide. I don't know how you bring

134
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 2: it back together, but it's there.

135
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: The issue of net zero is going to be crucial

136
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: energy policy. If Susan Lee wants to go down this

137
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: renewables road and stick with net zero, then perhaps this

138
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: reconciliation is not going to be as amicable as you

139
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,679
Speaker 1: would like because the Nationals, and they certainly have people

140
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: within that party who are outspoken on this one, this

141
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: policy abandoned. They see it as holding the party back.

142
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: And you've got to say, since they embraced net zero

143
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, they've lost two elections in devastating circumstances.

144
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Look, the Nationals are realistic. They're saying we need nuclear.

145
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 2: The renewables is not going to work. And I think

146
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 2: time will tell and I think that will be shown

147
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 2: to be so that nuclear has to be on the table.

148
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 2: They haven't sort of run away from that. The coalition

149
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 2: together sort of brought forward this nuclear idea, then the

150
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 2: Liberals sort of ran backwards from it a million miles

151
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: an hour, whereas the Nationals said, well we need this,

152
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: this is what we need. So look, the Liberals need

153
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 2: to do a lot of soul over many months to

154
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 2: actually work out who they are and what they're going

155
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: to do. The National is an entity unto themselves, and

156
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: they're doing pretty well.

157
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: They are. They're certainly doing better than the Liberals of

158
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: the moment. Now to the other side of the isle

159
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: and Anthony Albanize is welfare working group known as the

160
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: Economic Inclusion Advisory Committee what a name, is pushing for

161
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: Labor to end its six point eight billion dollar power

162
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: bill rebate scheme and instead redirect that money to more

163
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: solar panel and battery subsidies, more money for the renewable

164
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: sector from your taxes, Patrick, what do you think of

165
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: this suggestion.

166
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 2: Look, there's a standout statistic in this discussion. Power prices

167
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 2: across Australia have gone up forty seven percent this year,

168
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 2: out of pocket prices at forty seven percent. There's no

169
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 2: way in the world politically this government is going to

170
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: drop out the rebate. They need the rebates just to

171
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: keep everything going. And I just seems so pine in

172
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 2: the sky. I mean low income people subsidizing soular batteries

173
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 2: on their rooms. How are they going to find the

174
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 2: difference which is ten thousand dollars to try and save

175
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 2: the planet.

176
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and a lot of low income people have rent,

177
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 1: so how are they going to be getting subsidies for this?

178
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: It is so hair brained. But then so is the

179
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: whole notion that renewables are cheaper. And we keep pumping

180
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 1: money into renewables and our power bills keep going up.

181
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: I wonder at some point we're going to sort of realize, well,

182
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: maybe the renewables aren't that cheap after all. Now to

183
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: the insane costs of real estate in this country, including

184
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: parking spots. Six parking spots in Sydney's CBD have sold,

185
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: for get this, six hundred and eight thousand each at auction,

186
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 1: each supposed to be patrick a record price per per space.

187
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: That is crazy. In most countries, they would look at

188
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: that and would refuse to believe that six hundred thousand

189
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: in whatever currency that transfer transfers to would buy you

190
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: a substantial house in most countries.

191
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Look, I think there was there was ninety two

192
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 2: inquiries for these car parks. It is prime real estate

193
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 2: it's near Circular Key in Sydney. It is if you've

194
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 2: got a parking spot, it is a parking spot. They

195
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 2: had thirty bids. They went past the reserve after four bids.

196
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 2: I think there is still money around and something like that. Look,

197
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 2: that is very desirable to have those car parks.

198
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 6: Oh.

199
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Now I know you're a footy fan, so before

200
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: you go, I want to get your input on this story.

201
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: The AFL has been lobbied in recent years to make

202
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: it mandatory for each club to recruise at least one

203
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: Indigenous player. What do you make of this proposal? The

204
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: number of Indigenous players on AFL list has reduced in

205
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: recent years, but do we really need to have quotas

206
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: and mandatory recruitment.

207
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 2: Look like quotas in every aspect of industry across the board,

208
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 2: they don't work and it's not going to work in

209
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 2: an elite sport context, is it. Look the numbers are sad.

210
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 2: I think there's eighty seven Indigenous players playing AFL five

211
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 2: years ago. It's down to sixty two the.

212
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: Akill there's an overrepresentation though, I mean, obviously a lot

213
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: of Indigenous players are hugely popular. Some of the best

214
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: players in the league and they've always been overrepresented. So

215
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: the rationale for quota or a mandatory recruitment requirement seems

216
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: a bit odd.

217
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: Well, it simply wouldn't work those players if they were

218
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 2: recruited as a quota sort of deal, they're not going

219
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 2: to get games, They're not going to play AFL. It's

220
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 2: not going to work. I mean, a lot of things

221
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 2: need to be done. There are systemic issues here in

222
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 2: terms of getting great players to the AFL playing field,

223
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 2: and there's lots that needs to be done. But quotas

224
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 2: he's not going to fix anything.

225
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: Patrick Carline, thanks for it time tonight. Joining me now

226
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: is Women's Forum Australia's head of advocacy, Stephanie Bastian Stephanie.

227
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: Former Victorian opposition leader John Pursuito is in danger of

228
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: being declared bankrupt and losing his seat after being ordered

229
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: to cover Mora Deemings two point three million dollar legal bill.

230
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: John Pursuito has conceded an interview with The Herald Son

231
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: that there is a part of me that thinks, geez,

232
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: if only I had taken a moment, I could have

233
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: done things differently or better. But in the same interview,

234
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: also said I did everything that I possibly could to

235
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: settle the matter, and that I've always acted then as

236
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: now in the best interest of the party. Stephan I've

237
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: got to ask, is he delusional or dumb? It's hard

238
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: to think of another option. There were plenty of opportunities

239
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 1: for him to do a U turn here before he

240
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: got to this point.

241
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 7: Absolutely, it's on the public record that he he didn't

242
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 7: even respond to Mora's last letter of offer to settle

243
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 7: the case for one hundred grand. But one thing that

244
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 7: Pursuito hasn't mentioned is the one big lesson that he

245
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 7: and his faction should learn, and that is to stop

246
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 7: the witch hunt against Conservatives. What happened to Moira follows

247
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 7: a plethora of women, particularly within the Victorian Division, that

248
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 7: had been demonized by his faction. There was Cynthia Watson

249
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 7: in Ringwood, whose husband had attended a big event in

250
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 7: Queensland with an afarious character, and despite the fact that

251
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 7: she was mayor and an elected local counselor, she was

252
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 7: somehow unfit to run for the seat of Ringwood. And

253
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 7: this whole story came from within the division. Renee heat

254
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 7: almost didn't sit in the party room because her father,

255
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 7: and you were a pastor in a Muslim country and

256
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 7: he was too conservative, once again damaged by association.

257
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 8: Of course, then she was dragged through the MUDs.

258
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 7: After she refused to fix the minutes to make Vesudo's

259
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 7: story fit.

260
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 8: But one after another, these women have been mistreated.

261
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 7: Moira as the first woman to actually stand up and

262
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 7: push back say no, and that is cost Purseudo at

263
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 7: this point, it looks like it's costing his seat.

264
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 8: He's up for.

265
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 7: Millions of dollars in damages. But the shoe is now

266
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 7: on the other foot. So I think the lesson here

267
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 7: is for them to stop demonizing conservatives and to start

268
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 7: working as a broad shirts that they should be.

269
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: Now let's turn our attention to an author want to

270
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: be Pirate and husband of Lisa Wilkinson, Peter fitz Simon's

271
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: who posted these comments about Mara Deeming and they're still up.

272
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: This was posted back in twenty twenty three. I can't

273
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: believe it's still up on x in It Fitzimon's response

274
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: to a post praising John Pursudo for expelling Deeming from

275
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: the party room, and Fitzimon writes, if we Australians don't

276
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: draw a line in the sand on Nazis, Where does

277
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: it stop? Charlottesville, Stephanie is a shocking thing to put

278
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: out there about Mora Deeming who was there to protect

279
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: women's right. I know Moura is absolutely shattered about that post.

280
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: How is it still up today? How do they have

281
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: a license to defame this poor woman despite everything she's

282
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: done to clear her name.

283
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 7: Well, I think that's probably a question for her lawyers.

284
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 7: I hope they write him a strongly worded letter to

285
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 7: enforce him to take that down. But I mean, Peter

286
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 7: Fitzgibbons is a nasty man. He has constantly mocked women

287
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 7: who have expressed concern about women playing in sport. And

288
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 7: the fact that he didn't go and fact check this situation,

289
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 7: I think it probably didn't suit him to do so.

290
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 7: But this just shows the ramifications of what pursudo did.

291
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 8: He went out with this story with these lies that a.

292
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 7: Court found to be incredibly damaging, he didn't fact check

293
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 7: and he probably didn't want to. And the consequences of

294
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 7: his Pursuito's actions is that people like Fitzgibbons, who also

295
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 7: have large followings, have furthered the damage by spreading it

296
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 7: around on social media.

297
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: And if you're pandering to the likes of FitzSimons then

298
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: you're kind of losing the fight. He's supposed to be

299
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: a conservative leader. This was such a lost opportunity by

300
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: Pursuito to actually lay a glove on the Dan Andrews

301
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: government and speak for the eighty percent. This is an

302
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: eighty twenty issue. You might even argue it's a ninety

303
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: ten issue. But sadly we've got Labor, the Liberals, the

304
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: Greens all siding with a ten to twenty percent activist

305
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: class now fast for FitzSimons, he's a typical lefty losing it.

306
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: He's triggered now by the Australian flag. He posted this

307
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: in recent days. He said, it really is weird how

308
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: the OS flag these days on Twitter is the surest

309
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: sign of mad, bad and dangerous to know Cookers, I

310
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: mean really, Now, let's turn our attention to the Abortion

311
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: Access Bill, which has now passed the New South Wales

312
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: Parliament after the Greens did the deal with the Chris

313
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: Means government. Steph, tell me about your concerns about this legislation.

314
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: Surely if it's expanding women's rights, it's a good thing.

315
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 8: Well, that's the way they've pitched it.

316
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 7: But the problem with the remnants of this bill, and

317
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 7: it has been wound back significantly, is that women in

318
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 7: regional areas will be given access to the pill without

319
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 7: the necessary medical support in the case of adverse events.

320
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 7: There was a big study out with over eight hundred

321
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 7: thousand participants earlier this year. One in ten women have

322
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 7: had serious adverse health events to taking the medical Abortion

323
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 7: Bill sorry abortion pill, including hemorrhaging and needing hospitalization. There's

324
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 7: been a range of adverse events.

325
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: Now to the US where the Trump Department of Justice

326
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: has reallocated federal funding for groups that support transgenderism and

327
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: DEI policies diversity equity inclusion, and they've diverted that funding

328
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: step to boost law enforcement efforts. It's precisely the sort

329
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: of being that your group advocates for, and I would

330
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: think most people would be in support of this sort

331
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: of action because that is something that is again another

332
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: eighty twenty issue, and for too long the twenty percent

333
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: has had disproportionate power and influence.

334
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 7: Absolutely, I think the austrained public would be shocked at

335
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 7: the millions of dollars that are put into these activist

336
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 7: lobby groups. Acon's one single organization that receives over sixteen

337
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 7: million dollars. Every local council across the country now are

338
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 7: implementing these LGBTI Advisory Board. State governments are rolling out programs.

339
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 7: You've got programs and schools, millions and millions of tax

340
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 7: funded dollars being poured into these activist groups that are

341
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 7: wreaking havoc on society and taking away the rights of

342
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 7: women and girls. I think it's extraordinary, and this is

343
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 7: money that could be going to good use to address

344
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 7: domestic violence, boosting domestic violence shelters and support networks for women,

345
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 7: dealing with the mental health crisis in our schools, for kids,

346
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 7: providing more counseling. I think that it would be great

347
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 7: to have a review into just how much waste is

348
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 7: going into these organizations, because they're wreaking a lot more

349
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 7: havoc than they are adding a benefit to our society.

350
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: And at tax payers expense. Deevanie Bastion, thank you for

351
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: your time tonight, still to calm lefties losing it? Plus,

352
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: why is kiss starmas slowly morphing into Donald Trump? Kosher

353
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: Gata has the details You're watching. The reader Paney Show,

354
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: and it's time for Left is losing it. Let's go

355
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: to the caln't feel first of all that the uber,

356
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: rich and famous gather to congratulate themselves about how special, brave,

357
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: humble and inclusive they are, and how they are at

358
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: the forefront of fighting fascism. Here is a once great

359
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: actor turned teds sufferer, Robert de Niro.

360
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 3: In my country, we're fighting like hell for the democracy

361
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 3: we once took for granted, and that affects all of us.

362
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 3: That affects all of us here because the art art,

363
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 3: democratic art is inclusive. It brings people together tonight. Art

364
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 3: looks for truth. Art embraces diversity, and that's why art

365
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 3: is a threat. That's why we are a threat to

366
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 3: autocrats and fascists.

367
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: Yes, the film industry is so inclusive, Robert, You actors

368
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: have such a perfect moral compass with your sick, sordid

369
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: personal lives. Did you notice global warming? Hysterically and out

370
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: of dicaprion stage there were DeNiro, the dude who flies

371
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,479
Speaker 1: around the world in private jets and seals in massive yachts,

372
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: but is really really concerned about emissions. And as for

373
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: being inclusive, well, the fifty year old is not very

374
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: inclusive of women over twenty five, not in his dating

375
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: life anyway. But let's get back to Robert de Niro

376
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: as a mad rant. Here he lies with gay abandon.

377
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 3: America's philistine president has had himself appointed head of one

378
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 3: of our premier cultural institutions. He has cut funding and

379
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 3: support to the arts, humanities, and education. All these attacks

380
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 3: are unacceptable, and this isn't just an American problem, It's

381
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 3: a global one. Unlike a film, we can't just all

382
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 3: sit back and watch. We have to act, and we

383
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 3: have to act now.

384
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: We have to act. We have to act now. It's

385
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: amazing that Donald Trump, the fascist dictator, allows DeNiro to

386
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: defame him so easily. Why isn't he arresting him, putting

387
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: him in jail. Isn't that what dictators do? And isn't

388
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: that what we were told would happen. Remember when De

389
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: Niro and fellow Teds sufferer Bill Maher was saying before

390
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 1: the election, what would happen if Trump won?

391
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 3: If he is he wins the election, you won't be

392
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 3: on the show anymore.

393
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: He'll come looking for me.

394
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 3: There'll be things that happened that none of us can imagine.

395
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 3: That's what happens in that kind of a dictatorship, which

396
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 3: is what he says. Let's believe him. Take him at

397
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 3: his work.

398
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: I did from the beginning.

399
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I said from the very beginning, this

400
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 9: guy is never going to concede power.

401
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: No, he hasn't conceded power. He's your president. And once

402
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: you're dining with him at the White House, Bill Maher

403
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: and somehow Robert de Niro is still not locked up.

404
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: Here's another lefty losing it, actor Ben Stiller, who also

405
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: has crazy fever dreams about Trump coming after him.

406
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 10: It's impossible not to be aware of the fact that

407
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 10: people feel this, You know that, oh wow, you know

408
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 10: there can be retribution from the government if you say

409
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 10: something wrong, and that's really scary. So just to even

410
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 10: be thinking that way is you know. Of course I'm

411
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 10: aware of it. I think everybody's aware of it.

412
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: Can someone tell Ben Stiller that it was the previous

413
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 1: administration that went after grandmothers for posting funny memes and

414
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: sought to have school moms concerned about trans indoctrination in classrooms,

415
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: sought to have them labeled domestic terrorists. All these clowns

416
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: do is life he was really genuinely worried about repercussions

417
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: from the Trump administration. I can tell you Ben Stiller

418
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: would be keeping his mouth shut. One thing you can

419
00:23:55,480 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 1: say about Hollywood, they ain't brave. Here's another actor, Europe, Pascal,

420
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: And when he's not signing letters accusing Israel of genocide,

421
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: he's eager to tell you that being against the deportation

422
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: of illegal immigrants means he's on the right side of history.

423
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 11: I want people to be safe and to be protected,

424
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,199
Speaker 11: and and I want very much to live on the

425
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 11: right side of history. And I'm an immigrant. My parents

426
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 11: are refugees from Chile. I myself was a refugee. We

427
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 11: fled a dictatorship, and I was privileged enough to grow

428
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 11: up in the US.

429
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: You know, in a world of miserable, hysterical clowns like

430
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: de Niro and Stilla, pays to be a Jerry. Here

431
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: is Jerry Seinfeld treating the loopy left with the disdain

432
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: they richly deserve.

433
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 12: You, Jerry Seinfeld, Paline, he was the genocideplicide.

434
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: Joy, you're the Jennie.

435
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 3: You ran it.

436
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 12: Resized read Holifide.

437
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: I love the kid blowing a kiss there at the end.

438
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 1: You know who is much funnier than many of these

439
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: triggered comics. It's forty five and forty seven.

440
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 12: Yes.

441
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: Potus was again cracking jokes earlier today describing how he

442
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: came to secure the Olympics for America after his twenty

443
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: sixteen election triumph.

444
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 13: When I spoke to this gentleman who was obviously Scandinavian,

445
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 13: seriously Scandinavian and very nice, I couldn't get him off

446
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 13: the phone because he was so starved for love. He

447
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 13: just kept I must have had him for two hours.

448
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 13: I couldn't. I said, sir, I have to go on

449
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 13: President elect. Yes all I said to him, yes, yes, yes,

450
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 13: we will take good care. They wanted to know that

451
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 13: if they choose us for the Olympics, will they will

452
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 13: we treat them nicely? And I said, We're going to

453
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 13: treat you like so well, like you've never been treated.

454
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: But it didn't stop at the Olympics. Trump also secured

455
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: the World Cup for America, and because of the twenty

456
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: twenty election shenanigans, he'll be president when both events take place.

457
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 10: And we got the World Cup.

458
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 13: I got them both, and I said, man, I won't

459
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 13: be president. I got the Olympics and the World Cup,

460
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 13: and I won't be president and they're going to forget

461
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 13: that I got them. Nobody's going to mention it, because

462
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 13: you know a little bit, that's the way life is.

463
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 13: And then they rigged the election. And then I said,

464
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 13: you know what I'll do. I'll run again and I'll

465
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 13: shove it up their ass. I then realized, I said,

466
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 13: you know what, I got the Olympics, I got the

467
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 13: World Cup, and I got the two hundred and fifties.

468
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 13: Look at the way this works out. So if they

469
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 13: would have left us alone and wouldn't have cheated on

470
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 13: the election and wouldn't have rigged it, I would have

471
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 13: been retired right now. I would have been happily doing

472
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 13: something else. And instead they have me for four more years.

473
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 13: Can you learn?

474
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: And when it comes to Trump, we know that the

475
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: opinion polls always understate his popularity. But the polls are

476
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 1: nevertheless turning, and even CNN is forced to acknowledge that

477
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: unhappy news unhappy for them.

478
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 14: I think it's time for a bit of a reality check.

479
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 14: Right we were going to late April Donald Trump's approval ratings.

480
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 14: That approval seemed to be falling. He seemed to be audios, amigos.

481
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 14: People were writing his political obituary.

482
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 15: He is rising from the dead.

483
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 14: Look at this, Hello, Trump's not approval rating among voters.

484
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 14: This is the Reuters Episodes polling.

485
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 8: Look at this.

486
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 14: In late April, he was eight points underwater. But look

487
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 14: at where he was in the most recent poll among voters.

488
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 14: He's up seven points.

489
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: Let's bring in Sky and his contributor Kosher Gaida Kosher.

490
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: It's not just the Ibsoce poll. A CNN noted in

491
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 1: that segment. His approval rating is up across numerous polls,

492
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: and you can kind of see why. With the Middle

493
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: East trip and some of these trade deals that are

494
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 1: being struck.

495
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 15: He just does this ball of energy and he doesn't stop.

496
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 15: He's just getting one thing done after the other after

497
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 15: it seems like eight years of or four years Underbiden

498
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 15: of just like nothing getting done. So just the contrast

499
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 15: in there. His policy positions are very popular, They've always

500
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 15: been popular. His personality is something that was always polarizing

501
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 15: and that shows through in these poll numbers. But now

502
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 15: even that gap seems to be closing, where the people

503
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 15: who loved him still love him, and a lot of

504
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,199
Speaker 15: people who didn't love him. I think do respect him,

505
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 15: even if they don't admit it anymore, whether it's the

506
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 15: assassination attempts or just the way he's approaching this rule.

507
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 15: All of that, I think just call Ussis into these

508
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 15: poll numbers. They won't last forever, but he is certainly

509
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 15: riding high.

510
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: Now to James Comy has gone on MSNBC to defend

511
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: himself after he was questioned over what was seen as

512
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: a threat to President Domald truck. He posted this image

513
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: saying eighty six forty seven. He claims he had no

514
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: idea what those numbers meant.

515
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 9: You were back in the middle of a political firestorm.

516
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 16: Yeah, for walking on the beach with my wife, So

517
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:18,959
Speaker 16: I don't know how we ended up here. Never occurred

518
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 16: to me that it was any kind of controversial thing,

519
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 16: but that's the time.

520
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 4: We live in.

521
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: Kosher really, I mean, he's claiming hered that eighty six

522
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: forty seven is just a clever way to express a

523
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: political viewpoint, and he didn't know of the violent meaning

524
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: behind the number eighty six. Explain to my audience why

525
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: that post caused such concern.

526
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 15: So forty seven obviously Trump so forty president in eighty

527
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 15: six in American slaying. It can mean something milder like

528
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,239
Speaker 15: canceling an order at a diner, to something much more

529
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 15: sinister like ordering it.

530
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: Certainly in recent times it's been to kill for sure,

531
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: and theed rid of is the softer version.

532
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 15: But yes, and the point is it's not so much

533
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 15: the code, Like I don't even think people are alleging

534
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 15: that he's issuing some secret command off X. It is

535
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 15: that you are the former FBI director, so your position

536
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 15: carries weight, Your words carry weight, your tweets and ex

537
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,239
Speaker 15: posts carry weight. And to just casually throw that thing

538
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 15: out there, even if he was doing it to be funny,

539
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 15: which I don't think people think of him as somebody

540
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 15: who'd be doing comedy on there. But even if he

541
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 15: were doing that, it's just irresponsible and that's why it

542
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 15: created this whole firestorm. And also it's a new day

543
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 15: where the Trump administration wants to be on offense and

544
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 15: go after these kinds of innuendos and insinuations from the

545
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 15: other side in a way that maybe they would not

546
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 15: have last time.

547
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: It's just an incredible thing for a former FBI director

548
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: to do, particularly against a president who's already had two

549
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: assassination attempts, and we always know there's threats against his life.

550
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: Just astonishing work.

551
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 15: There.

552
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: Now to another example of no one being above the law.

553
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:58,239
Speaker 1: Introm Us Attorney Elena Haba has announced today that her

554
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: office has charged congress Woman Makaiva with violation of Title eighteen.

555
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: This is for our allegedly assaulting, impeding, and interfering with

556
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: law enforcement. Here is some footage of that incident. The

557
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: Democrat congresswoman is in red. In this footage. Those antiques

558
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: kosher are outside an ice facility in New Jersey immigration

559
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: detention center. Incredible. The Democrats think they can behave like

560
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: that with cameras there, with law enforcement and not had

561
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: some sort of an investigation or possible charges.

562
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 15: I think they believe that because it's never happened like

563
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 15: the other side. This never ever goes after anything like this.

564
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 15: And it started with words where they say, you know,

565
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 15: we will resist or I think it was the governor

566
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 15: of New Jersey or Connecticut or both of them who

567
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 15: said that they're hiding somebody on top of their garage.

568
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 15: Then it moved into trespassing. So the mayor of Newark,

569
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 15: in that same incident over there, was actually charged with trespassing,

570
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 15: and then those charges were dropped, and then it went

571
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 15: further where she's putting her hands on an officer, which

572
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 15: if anybody else of you or I did that, there

573
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 15: very well could and should be consequences to it. So

574
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 15: she thinks she's above the system because this is a

575
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 15: clashing of different branches of government, and the executive branch

576
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 15: with a congressional representative. However, nobody is above the law.

577
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 15: We've been told this for four years, and I think

578
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 15: they're finding out.

579
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: And there's calls for her to step down because when

580
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: there has been precedents with Republicans facing charges being forced

581
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: to step down before there was any trial or verdict.

582
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: I doubt that's going to happen, but we are seeing

583
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: the administration take these matters seriously. First with COMI with this,

584
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: they are not going to just let things go through

585
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: to the keeper as Republicans have in the past.

586
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 15: Definitely playing offense. And the other thing too, is so

587
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 15: the law maybe on their side, and the statute court

588
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 15: is still being you can find a law against anybody

589
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,719
Speaker 15: if you want to bring it, and prosecutors can bring discretion.

590
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 15: They're bringing this discretion with offense because the other side

591
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,479
Speaker 15: crossed the rubicon first. And for everybody crying that it's

592
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 15: politically motivated, I think the Countra argument to that is,

593
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 15: so what even if it is politically motivated, it has

594
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 15: been on the other side as well, and you've got

595
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 15: to play dirty and fight fire with fire is what

596
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 15: the Trump administration is called.

597
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: Absolutely, you had people connected with Trump people part of

598
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: the administration go to jail for things that people will

599
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: never really charged with. And so the appetite is there,

600
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: certainly within the Trump camp. If they want to play

601
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: these games, then we're going to play it by their

602
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: rules and it's going to come back to them. It's

603
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: not going to be a one way straight Yeah.

604
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 15: I think this is just the beginning, but it is

605
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 15: going to mushroom into a big issue right now and

606
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 15: it's certainly creating another political firestorm.

607
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: So we shall see.

608
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 3: Now.

609
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 1: Before we switched to the UK, and gosh, we've had

610
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: some developments there in recent days, what did you make

611
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: of Trump's Middle East tour? It was astonishing on so

612
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: many levels, the way he was faded, the speech he

613
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: gave basically saying the interventionist and neo cons got it

614
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: wrong and they caused a great deal of damage in

615
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 1: pursuing regime change, and it seemed to be one where

616
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: they were going to focus on the shared interest of

617
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: prosperity as well as peace. It seemed to be as

618
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: much about making business deals as it was about creating

619
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: long lasting piece.

620
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 15: It was really remarkable on so many levels. I call

621
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 15: it a deal making diplomacy because that is his way,

622
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 15: and bringing trillions of dollars of investment into the country,

623
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 15: at least on peoper and the diplomacy was about it

624
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 15: really was shunning his own party, the Republican Party, and

625
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 15: what they did in the Bush years and forever war

626
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 15: was kind of giving a nod or paying respects to

627
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 15: this very complex culture, imperfect as it may be, but

628
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 15: saying it is not the West's job to go and

629
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 15: impose themselves on that. And it was also notable, of course,

630
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 15: because he did not visit Israel and that controversy is

631
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 15: part of that region. But he was there for these

632
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 15: three countries and to have his mission of bringing money

633
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:26,479
Speaker 15: back to the US.

634
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: And again people missed this in this country in particular.

635
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: But a lot of Trump's policy positions is what the

636
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 1: old school left used to have maybe a decade or

637
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: two ago. So it's hard for someone the left to

638
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: condemn this, given it's what they've been advocating for for

639
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: a long time. Now, let's switch to the UK and

640
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: Kiirs starma. He seems to be morphing into some new

641
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 1: age Trump. Let's have a look at some of the

642
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: stuff he's been posting online in recent times. This is

643
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: his late work. He said, if you work here illegally

644
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: or employ people who do, we're coming for you. Illegal

645
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: working raids are up forty percent and we won't stop there.

646
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: He posted that on Sunday. The day before he posted this,

647
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: For too long Britain has been addicted to cheap overseas labor,

648
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 1: while one in eight of our own young people aren't

649
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: in education, employment or training. I'm putting our young people first,

650
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:30,919
Speaker 1: Britain first, oh, investing in skills they need, and ending

651
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: our dependence on foreign labor. A week earlier, he posted this.

652
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,479
Speaker 1: This is kir Starmer, the British Prime Minister. He said,

653
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: if you want to live in the UK, you should

654
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:45,760
Speaker 1: speak English. That's common sense. So we're raising English language

655
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: requirements across every main immigration route. And this settlement in

656
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: the UK is a privilege that is earned not a right. Again,

657
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: this isn't Donald Trump saying, this is Kirs Starman. And

658
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: finally this he said, the Tories lost control of our

659
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: borders and let net migrations saw to record levels, undercutting

660
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: hard working Brits. I won't stand for it. I promised

661
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: to restore control and cut migration and I'm delivering with

662
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: tough new measures British workers. I've got your back, Kosher.

663
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: What is going on? How is this open borders leftist

664
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 1: morphing into Donald Trump? If you didn't tell me that

665
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: was a Keir Starmer And he asked me which world

666
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: leader had posted those tweets, I'd say Donald Trump.

667
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 15: Talkcolate, a metamorphosis, and that is some weapons grade cajones

668
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 15: as they say, for him to just go and do

669
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 15: that one eedy. And I think the reason is those

670
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,439
Speaker 15: are extremely popular positions. They have been for the better

671
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 15: part of forty years in the UK, in Australia, in America,

672
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 15: in Canada, in the West. And it was a wide

673
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 15: opening in the field that the right side of the

674
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 15: aisle for the most part failed to take in country

675
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 15: after country. And so he's taking it because it's a

676
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,760
Speaker 15: wide opening and he knows his pop bel it's politically

677
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 15: expedient and on some level you've got admire it because

678
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 15: the left place to win and they will do what

679
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 15: the other side failed to.

680
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean words are cheap, The redtric is there.

681
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: Whether it's actually be backed up by action is another thing.

682
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,399
Speaker 1: Whether they've got the appetite to follow through. But they're

683
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: worried about reform. Nigel Farage. We hear so much here

684
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 1: about how Donald Trump costs the Liberals the election, despite

685
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,800
Speaker 1: the fact that they went in with a labor like policy.

686
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: Farage is fine about closing up to Trump, copying some

687
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: of that ideology, and he's doing brilliantly. He's polling and

688
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 1: also just the recent council elections and by elections he

689
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 1: did particularly well.

690
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 15: And that's the other reason for this is politically expedient,

691
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 15: as you say, and I think he Starmer's trying to

692
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 15: neutralize Frage as much as he can. But you're right,

693
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 15: words are cheap, and if they don't follow through, they

694
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 15: might do a token move here and there. But if

695
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 15: they don't follow through, that issue Forrage owns. So I

696
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 15: think it'll be hard for Stromer to take.

697
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,800
Speaker 1: That away from it, and really shame on the Tories.

698
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: They were in government for so long and they governed

699
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: like labor. Were talking about the Liberals here having labor

700
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: like policies. We have Tories governments who thought they were

701
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 1: the Labor party. Now, before you go leftist activists and

702
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: football broadcaster Gary Lineker will no longer be a presenter

703
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: for the BBC after reposting on Instagram a story about

704
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: Zionism which featured a picture of a rat, an image

705
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: widely perceived as virulently anti Semitic. Kosher Linka is the

706
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: BBC's highest paid presenter, is getting paid more than two

707
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: point six million a year and he's got a long

708
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: track record of this sort of activism. This is at

709
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: new He seems to be a leftist activist first and

710
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: football commentator second.

711
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 15: Indeed, this is a big scalp though, and I think

712
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 15: this is a bridge too far. So there are other

713
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,399
Speaker 15: examples of darlings of the left like Mehdi Hassan comes

714
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 15: to mind. For example, was fired for making not similar

715
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 15: but topics comments around the same topic and especially Israel

716
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 15: and Gaza and then veering into anti Semitism. So you

717
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 15: reap what you saw, as they say, in that case,

718
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 15: there is a little bit where people say, as you

719
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,240
Speaker 15: point out that he was saying all sorts of controversial

720
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 15: political things for years against the rage against other groups

721
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 15: and never had his scalp taken. This though, is the

722
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,399
Speaker 15: bridge too far and he probably didn't see it coming.

723
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: And you know what, you would feel sorry for someone who,

724
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: you might say, in this case has been a victim

725
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: of canceled culture. But Gary Ldeker was such an enthusiastic

726
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: backer of cancel culture that there ain't no sympathy here.

727
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: Kosher Gaina, thank you so much for your time. Today,

728
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: still to come, experts raise concerns about the timing of

729
00:40:42,360 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis. Alex Stein has the details back,

730
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 1: joining me now as comedian and host of Primetime with

731
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: Alex Stein on Blaze TV. Alex Stein himself, let's start

732
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:12,919
Speaker 1: with the curious timing of former President Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis,

733
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: and there have been no shortage of experts coming out

734
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: to dispute the claims that the cancer was discovered just

735
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: in recent days.

736
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,919
Speaker 16: I'm a prostate cancer patient. I work on the bard

737
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,399
Speaker 16: of the Prostate Cancer Foundation. I know a lot about

738
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 16: this illness. I've treated it for forty years and when

739
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,760
Speaker 16: I saw them say, hey, we found a nodule, already,

740
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 16: my spidy sense was up because we really don't do

741
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 16: the digital rectal exam anymore. We follow the PSA and

742
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 16: we found this nodule, and oh, my goodness, he's got

743
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 16: metastatic disease. I thought, no, it does not pass the

744
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,879
Speaker 16: sniff test. If indeed he was diagnosed to a couple

745
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 16: of years ago and he has metastatic disease, he would

746
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 16: be subjected to something called androgen deprivation therapy. That's the

747
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 16: treatment for his condition. And they're trying to avoid saying

748
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 16: that he's been on there for a while because some

749
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 16: of the common side effects include muscular wasting and muscular

750
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 16: instability and falls and cognitive slowing and fatigue. We've seen

751
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 16: that Eve all over the last two years, and so

752
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 16: my suspicion is he's been on andgrim deprivation therapy and

753
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,240
Speaker 16: they've known about this for a long time, Alex.

754
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: We really to believe that the President of the United

755
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 1: States was not having regular checkups, regular blood tests, and

756
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: they discovered this cancer at this late stage.

757
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 6: Well, Rita, I think it's pretty obvious that they had

758
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 6: to have some sort of prior knowledge about you know,

759
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 6: this terrible diagnosis for President Biden. And I think it

760
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 6: was actually Laura Lumer who reported that they might have

761
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 6: you found this cancer diagnosis when he was on Air

762
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 6: Force One heading from I think it was Las Vegas

763
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,760
Speaker 6: back to Washington, d C. Now, I know that's not confirmed,

764
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 6: but I think it's obvious that they probably had prior

765
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:01,240
Speaker 6: knowledge of this cancer.

766
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: And I don't know how long I would think it bad.

767
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: Try knowledge well before that, Alex. I mean, from what

768
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: I'm understanding from experts in the field, these sort of

769
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 1: regular blood tests would show this up many years ago.

770
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 1: And we played a video last night from around two

771
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,800
Speaker 1: years ago when Joe Biden said on stage about having cancer,

772
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: and his people said he was a gaff but it

773
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: seemed to be a pretty clear statement. He even attributed

774
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 1: the cause. He was talking about the pollution in the

775
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: area where he grew up. But already, Alex, the pushes

776
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: on from Democrats and their propaganda arm to go easy

777
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: on Joe Biden given this diagnosis. Let's have a look

778
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:43,959
Speaker 1: at CNN.

779
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 9: His medical condition. Now he's announced medical condition. Now do

780
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 9: you believe that silences or delays a lot of conversations

781
00:43:56,080 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 9: about his you know, last year and a half for now, yeah.

782
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 16: Well, I mean I think those conversations are going to happen,

783
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 16: but they should be more muted.

784
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 14: And set aside for now as he's struggling through this.

785
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 1: Alex, do you agree that conversations about Biden's cognitive issues

786
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: should be muted now?

787
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 6: Well, I think we should have these tough conversations. But Rita,

788
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 6: you know, the real elephant in the room is I

789
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,360
Speaker 6: wouldn't have been surprised if they didn't want, you know,

790
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 6: something tragic to happen to Joe Biden, so they could

791
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 6: have put Kamala Harris in. I think it is very weird,

792
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 6: you know that they were talking about this two years

793
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 6: ago and then now they magically bring it up. So

794
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 6: I think we just need to talk about the presidency,

795
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 6: honestly about you know, what he just did for the

796
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:50,320
Speaker 6: past four years, but also be respectful of this horrible

797
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 6: thing that's happened happening to him. So it's a delicate,

798
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 6: you know, tightrope to walk, but I think we can

799
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 6: walk it, and we should be able to criticize his

800
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 6: presidency while also being empathetic to this horrible diagnosis.

801
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: Now let's have a look at this character. This is

802
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: doctor Kevin O'Connor, Joe Biden's White House physician. He repeatedly

803
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: declared the president was fit and well, mentally and physically

804
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:22,240
Speaker 1: fit to serve. He probably has some questions to answer their, Alex,

805
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 1: But what are the decisions that Joe Biden made when

806
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: he was cognitively unsound, perhaps depleted even further due to

807
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:36,280
Speaker 1: intensive treatments in his final days. We know he pardoned

808
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,439
Speaker 1: a bunch of people, including his son Hunter and doctor

809
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 1: Anthony Fauci. The head of the Justice Department's Weaponization Working

810
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 1: Group at Martin, posted this. He said, the integrity of

811
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:52,720
Speaker 1: the American pardon system requires that we examine the Biden

812
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: pardons and who did what We will get to the

813
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 1: bottom of it. Count on us. Are those pardons in

814
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 1: in peril now?

815
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 6: Alex Well, from the research that I've done, it's very

816
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,720
Speaker 6: hard to overturn a pardon. But they had an auto

817
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 6: pen presidency. Joe Biden was not in control. They had

818
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 6: a signature, They had the ability to put it on

819
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 6: any sort of document or any sort of pardon that

820
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 6: they wanted. So will we get any retribution? I highly

821
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 6: doubt it, but some of the judges that were getting

822
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 6: kickbacks and putting juveniles in prison, those judges whose crow

823
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 6: judges should have never been pardoned. So it's a horrible

824
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 6: injustice of what they did with the Parton system.

825
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 1: And the bizarre Hunter Biden pardon which went into the

826
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:43,240
Speaker 1: future dates. I mean, that was something that Biden pledged

827
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 1: he would not do, and he did it. Now, I

828
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: want to play you a clip of a female soccer star.

829
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: Got to say, I've never heard of this character before.

830
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: Her name is Ashlyn Harris, and apparently she is an

831
00:46:58,360 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: exceptional person.

832
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 17: Just know what it's like to live at the top

833
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 17: and the air is very thin, and I choose to

834
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 17: be exceptional every single day, Like it is literally a choice.

835
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 17: Like I wake up and I'm like, I don't know

836
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 17: what it's like just to choose to be average, Like

837
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:22,800
Speaker 17: I don't with average people. They make me uncomfortable. I

838
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 17: don't like to be in the same rooms, in the

839
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 17: same spaces. I think, like, it's contagious.

840
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 1: Wow, Alex, I thought that will satire, but apparently it's serious.

841
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 1: What else can you tell me about this one? Because

842
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:42,879
Speaker 1: I'm suddenly fascinating. She seems to be just cringe on steroids.

843
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 6: No, she's a genius. Now listen, if you're not on

844
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 6: her level, if you're not one hundred percent any amateurs

845
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 6: around Mayad, I agree, get out of here. I don't

846
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,280
Speaker 6: like to be I don't like to interact with anybody

847
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:57,359
Speaker 6: unless they're a millionaire. So, no, she's on the right.

848
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 6: Everything that she's doing exactly right. If you're not a millionaire,

849
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 6: if you're not grinding every single day, you're not my friends.

850
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 6: So I like where her head is that I'm going

851
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 6: to go follow her right now, Rita, we need more

852
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 6: people that are more cutthroat like that. That's a problem

853
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 6: in America. We're all too soft. We need some more

854
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 6: vicious killers like Ashland.

855
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, a goalkeeper. But apparently she's just one of

856
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 1: the most exceptional people in the country. And I can

857
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 1: see why you like her. She's kind of got that

858
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 1: same sticky do you but you do it as satire.

859
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: She's doing it seriously. Alex, I'm going to say, I'm

860
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 1: a little bit concerned.

861
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 6: No, you're exactly right. Obviously she's an athlete and she

862
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 6: probably had the big ego, but you know, the women's

863
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 6: soccer team, it wasn't that long ago where they got

864
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 6: beaten by a bunch of under sixteen men's players. So

865
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 6: you know, these are under sixteen years old. So I

866
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 6: think I wanted to be a little check their ego

867
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 6: a little bit. But she's a good player, you know what,

868
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 6: She's competitive. I'll let I'll let it slide this time.

869
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:04,800
Speaker 1: Just pretend to be humble, Alex. Just pretend to be humble,

870
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 1: even if you're not Alex Stein. Thank you so much

871
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 1: for your time tonight. And that's it from me. I'll

872
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: see you at eleven tomorrow and I I don't go anywhere.

873
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: New's Night is up next
