1
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: On Scolds Australia.

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 2: This is the Reader Panalty Show.

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Reader Panety Show.

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 4: Coming up tonight, Australia's economic woes may be worse than

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 4: you think.

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 3: Are we headed for stagflation?

7
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 4: The panel will join me shortly to discuss the dangerous

8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 4: spread of pro Iranian regime metric in Australia. I'll speak

9
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 4: to a local counselor who went to a rally and

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 4: was shocked by what she saw. In Horowitz will have

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 4: the latest from the US, including President Trump putting a

12
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 4: deadline on the war against Iran, and later in the

13
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 4: hour of Across to Michael Lufts for royal and entertainment news,

14
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 4: including the shocking story of Christy Nolmes's husband being exposed

15
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 4: as a cross dresser. Plus we never forget Left is

16
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 4: Losing It Tonight. Actress Leslie Jones tells young women that

17
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 4: marriage is slavery.

18
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 5: I think marriage is legalized slavery.

19
00:00:59,200 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 3: I don't know how you do.

20
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 6: Man, if his specialgy expecting you to be a trad

21
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,839
Speaker 6: wave is might as well pull out.

22
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 7: A whip.

23
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 8: In a chain.

24
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 4: But first, former Treasury Secretary Martin Parkinson has worn that

25
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 4: Australia's economic woes may see us head into a period

26
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 4: of stagflation. That's the worst of both worlds. You've got

27
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 4: high in employment and high inflation. Speaking to the National

28
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 4: Press Club earlier today, Martin Parkinson said, we need to

29
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 4: incentivize innovation and investment to raise the speed limits on

30
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 4: our growth rate. And we need a larger working age

31
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 4: population or a far more productive working age population. We

32
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 4: need a broader tax base, we've better targeted, more efficient taxes,

33
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 4: or we need to cut expenditure to deliver a more

34
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 4: sustainable fiscal position. Joining me now is the Institute of

35
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 4: Public Affairs chief economists Adam Kristen and Menzi's Research Center

36
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 4: senior fellow Nick Keta.

37
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 3: Adam, do you agree there with Martin Parkinson's comments?

38
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 9: Well, look, generally I do agree we do need changes

39
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 9: at the federal level.

40
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 8: Clearly he was rather vague on what we need.

41
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 9: He said, we need a more efficient tax systemor who

42
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 9: would disgree with that?

43
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 7: Yeah.

44
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 8: The thing that stuck out was the larger working age population.

45
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 9: To me, so that was a signal that he supports

46
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 9: very rapid immigration. I think when you know, we could

47
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 9: deal with that without having massive immigration. For instance, the

48
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 9: over sixty fives can't work when they're on the pension.

49
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 9: If they do work, they lose the pension. Millions of

50
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 9: people there who could work part time.

51
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 4: Then he's talking about a broader tax base, which makes

52
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 4: me think he wants to have even more people taxed,

53
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:35,839
Speaker 4: well more often.

54
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 8: Probably does.

55
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 9: I mean, he's well associated with the Labour Party. He

56
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 9: was Treasury secretary largely when they were in charge, so

57
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 9: you know it's you know, the sentiment's fine, but he

58
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 9: was vague, and I think the reality is we're just

59
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 9: going to get more tax increases from the government, not

60
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 9: not spending cuts, which to his credit, he did mention

61
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 9: at the end.

62
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 4: He did mention spending cuts. It was about the only

63
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 4: sensible thing I saw there. There was a lot of

64
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 4: motherhood statements like you said that really didn't have much detail.

65
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 4: Nick the Labor Party and fiscal responsibility, they're not terms

66
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 4: one normally throws together. Is it in Labour's DNA to

67
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 4: make the cuts that you really need to make to

68
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 4: slash inflation and to get our deficit under control as well?

69
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 10: It used to be in their DNA, but I think

70
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 10: it's kind of been bred out over the years, they're

71
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 10: not interested in cutting at all. And I agree with Adam.

72
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 10: I mean, I think Martin Parkinson is right. You know,

73
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 10: it's a motherhood statement. Yes we need tax reform, but

74
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 10: the trouble with labor is you know that the only

75
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 10: tax reform they're capable of doing is increasing the overall

76
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 10: tax take, Whereas I don't think tax reform is worth

77
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 10: the paper it's written on unless it actually reduces the

78
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,119
Speaker 10: amount of money they take. But we got away from

79
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 10: this point that was hammered home to us back in

80
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 10: the days of Howard and Costello that unless we have

81
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 10: a strong budget, unless we keep spending within sensible limits,

82
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 10: then everything else we would like to do, whether it's

83
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 10: green energy or whatever you fancy thing is is impossible.

84
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 10: I mean, we just cannot defense. We cannot do these

85
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 10: things unless we've got the money. We really do need

86
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 10: a return to some sort of fiscal discipline. And I

87
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 10: there's so many, so few people in Parliament, and certainly

88
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 10: almost nobody in the gallery, in the gallery at the

89
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 10: Camera House that even seem to care about this anymore.

90
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 4: You talk about fiscal discipline, well, Treasurer Jim Chalmers is

91
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 4: reportedly considering increasing spending in the federal budget to alleviate

92
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 4: the impact from.

93
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,239
Speaker 3: The Iran War.

94
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 4: Former New South Wales Premier Mike Bird has labeled next

95
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 4: month's budget as the most important in recent memory, and

96
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 4: he has warned that Australia's status as a load debt

97
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 4: country was over. This is what Mike bed told Sky

98
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 4: News earlier today.

99
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 2: Every single decision and as you put a budget together,

100
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 2: you have to look how is what impact is it

101
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 2: having in the longer term. You know, it's okay to

102
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: do the budget this year, but what spending decisions are

103
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 2: you making and how does that play out. I think

104
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 2: that every budget should have a ten year projection and

105
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: you can see year to year as that ten year

106
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: projection remains there for front and center. It gives you

107
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 2: a capacity, the community, a capacity to understand the decision

108
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: we're making today, aren't making it worse.

109
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 5: For the future.

110
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 4: Nick at a time when the Treasurer should be slashing

111
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 4: red tape, getting out of the wave industry and cutting spending,

112
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 4: is considering doing the opposite.

113
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 10: Yeah, none of that. This government is just not geared

114
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 10: up for doing anything remarkably even remotely sensible on the

115
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 10: economic front. And one thing they need is a finance minister.

116
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 10: They used to have a finance minister. The finance minister's

117
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 10: job is to keep the government spending within its budget

118
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 10: and to make sure that spending is being spent. Well,

119
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 10: they don't have a finance minister at all. They have KD. Gallagher,

120
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 10: who doesn't seem interested in that side of things. I

121
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 10: think a strong finance minister would be really important.

122
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 4: Adam, you're an economist, what would your sage advice be

123
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 4: to the Treasurer who's considering measures like slashing the capital

124
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 4: gains tax discount which will only make the housing crisis worse.

125
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 4: It will make it more difficult for renters to be

126
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 4: able to affward a roof over their head because all

127
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 4: the investors are going to find somewhere else to put

128
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 4: their money.

129
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 9: Well, certainly that's right, and just on the capital gains

130
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,679
Speaker 9: tax discount. I actually did some research on that recently,

131
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 9: and everyone thinks it's some huge discount from the last

132
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 9: regime that we had till nine nine nine, But actually,

133
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 9: in many cases is not a discount at all, because

134
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 9: you're still paying tax on inflation, whereas in the old

135
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 9: system their cost was index with inflation. So in many cases,

136
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 9: it was not a discount, so if they slash it,

137
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 9: it's going to.

138
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 8: Be even worse.

139
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 3: It's doubling up the tax and it's.

140
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 9: Just going to mean people will not sell their assets

141
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 9: at all, they will die with them, they'll pass them

142
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 9: on and they just won't pay tack.

143
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 8: So it'll make situation worse. On the debt situation, look.

144
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 9: I mean, Mike Bird is right, we are no longer

145
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 9: a low debt nation. Of course, you've got to add

146
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 9: the state debt to the federal and everyone talks about

147
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 9: the trillion dollars, but if you add the states up,

148
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 9: you're looking at seven hundred billion dollars there, so almost

149
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 9: the same.

150
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 8: You've got to add them. And that's you know, it's.

151
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 9: Really quite concerning because you know, we're not a big

152
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 9: economy like the US.

153
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 8: We can't go to debt as one hundred percent of GDP.

154
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 9: Right, we're about fifty sixty at the moment, but it's

155
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 9: rising rapidly and unfortunately the political cycle, largely combined with

156
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 9: the Labor Party's instincts, means that they don't really care

157
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 9: about cutting spending. It's all about winning the next election.

158
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 9: It's all about there being no losers can't have losers,

159
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 9: can only have winners.

160
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 3: Well, you're going to have losers. The lifters could be losers,

161
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 3: but the leaners could lose.

162
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 4: Lean In now billionaire because Ramball has warned that the

163
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 4: ongoing conflict in Iran has exposed how unprepared Australia is

164
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 4: for global disruptions. The founding chairman and managing director of

165
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 4: Herdermann Group said, everyone knows that Australia is not self

166
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 4: reliant and that's the honest truth if you ask me,

167
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 4: in the Southern Hemisphere we are the most exposed country.

168
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 3: We don't manufacture anything at Adam. This is all.

169
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 4: Self inflicted harm. This is the result of policies enacted

170
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 4: by successive governments where we have outsourced our manufacturing and

171
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 4: become so reliant on other countries.

172
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, look, that's right. Australia's had very high wages for a.

173
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 9: Long time, but we also had cheap energy and so

174
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 9: that enabled us to have relatively thriving manufacturing centertory of

175
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 9: the eighties and nineties, especially in Victoria. This date, we

176
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 9: now have extremely high both both energy costs and wages,

177
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 9: so of course we've lost it and indeed through the OECD.

178
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 9: Forget the Southern Hemisphere. The OECD in total thirty four countries.

179
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 9: We have the lowest share of the workforce involved in manufacturing.

180
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 8: It's about five percent.

181
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 9: It was seventeen percent about twenty five years ago, so

182
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 9: it's a huge decline.

183
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 8: You know, five percent is embarrassing.

184
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 9: And when a war comes along with the prospect of

185
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 9: a war, everyone thinks, oh god, you know, we actually

186
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 9: can't make anything if we had to, so it is

187
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 9: a crisis.

188
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 8: He's right to point that out, but very hard to rectify.

189
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 3: Nick.

190
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 4: I think this has been a wake up call to

191
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 4: so many people about just how exposed we are, how

192
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 4: unprepared we are, and relatively we're.

193
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 3: Talking about a small conflict.

194
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, if there was a major war that went on

195
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 4: for several years, how would that leave Australia When we

196
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 4: are so reliant on other countries for our energy needs

197
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 4: and other needs as well. When you look at how

198
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 4: little manufacturing we do in this country.

199
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 10: It's frightening.

200
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 9: Region.

201
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 10: We don't even have a merchant fleet anymore, by the way,

202
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 10: so we haven't got any ships that we own. We

203
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 10: own to carry this stuff into Australia. But we've really

204
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 10: been exposed I mean, I would have thought we would

205
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 10: have made some progress after COVID that was supposed to

206
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 10: be the wake up call. How many wake up calls

207
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 10: do we need readom before we get this? But yeah,

208
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 10: we really are struggling. Even the future made in Australia.

209
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 10: Wasn't that Anthney Albani his great catch cry he was

210
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 10: going to make green hydrogen. Forget the green hydrogen? What

211
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 10: about making something we're actually need like PBC tubing or fertilizer.

212
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 4: Now let's come to Victoria and the moreer deeming pre

213
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 4: selection saga is going to drag on for a lot longer.

214
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 4: The Victorian Libs have invited challenges to nominate against the

215
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 4: sitting MP for her spot in the Upper House.

216
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 3: This is, of course, after the.

217
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 4: Man who ousted her, Dinnish Gurrissetti, was forced to withdraw

218
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 4: his candidacy after it was revealed that he provided a

219
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 4: character reference for a now convicted child sex offender Nick.

220
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 4: Why won't the Libs just offer more redeeming a fulsome

221
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 4: apology again, so the first time they've had to apologize

222
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 4: and install her as the candidate. Put an end to

223
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 4: this unseemly saga that exposes hash shambolic this party is

224
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 4: and has been for so many years.

225
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 10: I wish I could answer that question, Rita. But it's

226
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 10: one of those one of the great mysteries of life,

227
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 10: isn't it. Why does the Liberal Party in Victoria have

228
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 10: this sort of death wish. It's almost like self harm.

229
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 10: Every day they get up and think, how can we

230
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 10: harm our election chances? How can we make it even

231
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 10: more likely we have a labor government after the next election.

232
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 10: I really really don't understand it. I mean, I get

233
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 10: called on to Sky News to be asked about this stuff,

234
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 10: but you know, I could probably tell you more about

235
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 10: AFL football than I could tell you about liberal politics

236
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 10: in Victoria. But you know, it is crazy. They really,

237
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 10: you know, every time you think they have to just

238
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 10: really focus now on winning the next election and stop

239
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 10: all this other stuff, but then time and time again

240
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 10: they prove incapable of getting away from these factional games.

241
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 10: It's just so pointless.

242
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 3: It really is. And more.

243
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 4: A Deeming is taking a period of personal leave, Adam

244
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 4: who could blame her until after Easter, so it's not

245
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 4: a lengthy period. I've got to ask why would she

246
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 4: stick with this rabble who have so mistreated her. Why

247
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 4: not go to one of the at least three parties

248
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 4: who've approached her to run, including one Nation.

249
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 9: Well, surely she will, you know, that's the only logical

250
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 9: thing to do. I think she's been treated terribly, as

251
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 9: you say, not just in the last few days, but also.

252
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 8: You know the issue at hand with the defamation case.

253
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 9: You know, it's I think it's noble of her to

254
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 9: have gone through the pre selection. I think surely she

255
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 9: has in mind that she's going to leave.

256
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 3: I don't know, she's very loyal to the party.

257
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 4: I mean what she endured at the hands on top

258
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 4: of the party and the stress, the efforts she had

259
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 4: to go to clear her name after the party leader

260
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 4: attacked her for standing up for women. I can't imagine

261
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 4: too many others that would hang around just serve that party.

262
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's right, and also one of Labour's attacks. Of

263
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 9: course it's wrong, but it's the liberal parties against women.

264
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 9: And then of course they've got rid of Maara doming

265
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 9: I mean, it just plays into that argument. So that's

266
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 9: another reason why silly. And also she's got great profile,

267
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 9: she's very well known. She'd be one of the best

268
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 9: known politicians in the state.

269
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

270
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 8: That actually matters a lot when you're trying to get votes.

271
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 4: She has fantastic cut through and she's one of the

272
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 4: few who can hold a fundraiser and sell it out.

273
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 4: People want to pay to go along and hear her speak,

274
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 4: they want to support her.

275
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 3: And the Libs I don't know.

276
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 4: I don't know whether they're frightened orf her popularity, whether

277
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 4: they just ideologically opposed to someone who holds conservative values.

278
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 4: I'm not sure what the problem is, but the way

279
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 4: they've treated this mother of four is absolutely appalling.

280
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 3: Now let's talk about the Fair Work.

281
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 4: Commission scrapping junior pay rates for young adults aged eighteen

282
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 4: to twenty. But not everyone is thrilled about this news.

283
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 4: Employers have worn that this landmark decision will have a

284
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 4: devastating impact on businesses across the country, but that message

285
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 4: was lost on labor ministers, including Clara O'Neill, who is

286
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 4: thrilled by this news.

287
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 11: If you know any young workers at Cole's, Woolly's, Mackas

288
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 11: the Pharmacy, make sure you share this with them because

289
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 11: they might be about to get a massive pay rise

290
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 11: for some stupid reason. Australian workers age between eighteen and

291
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 11: twenty have been allowed to be paid at a discount rate. Now,

292
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 11: if you don't get discounts on your bills, why should

293
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 11: you get paid less than other adult Australians? And the

294
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 11: Fair Work Commission agrees. They've just said that Australian's age

295
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 11: between eighteen and twenty could get a pay increase of

296
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 11: up to forty two percent.

297
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 4: Adam, you can tell these labor ministers have never run

298
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 4: a business. I'd suggest there are a couple of good

299
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 4: reasons why juniors get paid less than say, someone in

300
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 4: their thirties.

301
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, certainly that's true. They're not as experienced obviously. But

302
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 9: the first thing that occurred to me is I just

303
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 9: spent four years in the US and over there I

304
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 9: noticed as very few young people employed in bars or

305
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 9: fast food places and going to came back to Australia

306
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 9: and there's lots.

307
00:14:58,400 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, realize why.

308
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 9: Is because of that gradation in the pay raids, and

309
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 9: it's an incentive for big companies to hire young people

310
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 9: to work for them, and they do and it gives them,

311
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 9: you know, a step up into the workforce that they're

312
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 9: now not going to get.

313
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 8: In fact, you know.

314
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 9: She's crying about tell them how great it is, so

315
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 9: some of them just won't be hid anymore.

316
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 4: Again, that is a point that seems to be fairly

317
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 4: obvious Nick, but it's lost on labor. What do you

318
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 4: make of this decision by the Fair Work Commission?

319
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 10: Clara O'Neil seems to think this is all down to

320
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 10: mean employers are just keeping their money in their pockets. So,

321
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 10: I mean, anybody who talk to anybody in catering and

322
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 10: hospitality in particular right now, but retail too, will tell

323
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 10: you that the margins are very slim. You know, they've

324
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 10: got the penalty rates on a Sunday and the double

325
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 10: and triple penalty rates on an Easter Monday or whatever.

326
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 10: They can't afford to pay higher rates. Adam's right. I

327
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 10: mean you're learning the trade, aren't You're learning how to

328
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 10: be in a workforce, which is a skill in itself

329
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 10: when you're between eighteen and twenty. And what it will

330
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 10: mean inevitably, you know, as Adam Rightley points it points out,

331
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 10: is fewer jobs for young people. So is that what

332
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 10: we want? We want more of them be sitting around

333
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 10: on the couch or do we actually want them out

334
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 10: there getting some experience?

335
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 4: Yep, Those lower pay rates are a way to get

336
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 4: a foot in the door when you're a junior, when

337
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 4: we're eighteen and nineteen and have no experience.

338
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 3: Adam, krist and Nicota, thank you so much for your time.

339
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 4: My next guest is a counselor for the City of Rides.

340
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 4: She's also a Kurdish Iranian who attended a pro Uranian

341
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 4: regime rally in Auburn, New South Wales.

342
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 3: She posted this video about what she saw.

343
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 12: It was advertised as a end to war gathering. However,

344
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 12: while I was there, there was talk about.

345
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're the only country that you complete militarily and

346
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: economically with the.

347
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 12: West, and there was a very ironic mention of indigenous people.

348
00:16:58,600 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 13: I acknowledge story.

349
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 3: You know, custodians of this land.

350
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 4: Lever see them in that clip that chanting death to

351
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 4: Iranians fighting for freedom and doing that on Australian soil.

352
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 4: Please to welcome Tino Kudrostami to the program.

353
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 3: China. Tell me why you attended this.

354
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 4: Rally and are you shocked that we have people in

355
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 4: this country chanting death to the enemies of the Iranian regime.

356
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 5: I attended because I'm also a activist.

357
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 12: I've been advocating against the regime for a very long

358
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 12: time now, and I need to be informed about what's

359
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 12: happening and what isn't. Someone needs to be on the

360
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 12: ground documenting, no matter how uncomfortable it is. I am

361
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 12: not shocked unfortunately as to what I saw.

362
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 5: Or what I heard.

363
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 12: The reason I was there was so that I could

364
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 12: understand exactly what propaganda is being spread to our Australians

365
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 12: and I was able to document this.

366
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 4: Well, you talk about the victim narrative of the Iranian

367
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 4: regime which was spreading around the world. Now tell me

368
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 4: about that, because people are falling for that propaganda.

369
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 5: Well, here's the thing.

370
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 12: Authoritarian systems, they don't just control people, they also change

371
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 12: the language, they change the narrative which has been spread

372
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 12: from such systems. And unfortunately people are just eating this up.

373
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 12: It's us when we refuse to critique power, you know,

374
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 12: because of this victim narrative, we enable new forms of control.

375
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 12: All of a sudden, coercion becomes a system of democracy.

376
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 5: And this is what I.

377
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 12: Actually heard when I was directly interviewing a few of

378
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 12: these pro Regimei protesters. I was playing dumb just to

379
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 12: understand what intel they're feeding our Aussies and I asked

380
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 12: some point black you know, I'm a Kurdish Iranian and

381
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 12: I know un hominy many Kurds have died, as many

382
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 12: other indigenous Iranians as well, and their response was they

383
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 12: probably deserved it. You know, it depends what they did.

384
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 12: Now we know Mastha, a Kurdish Iranian who died four

385
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 12: years ago at the hands of the regime, was just

386
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 12: a young girl who lost her life because her hair

387
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 12: was showing. So was she deserving of death?

388
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 7: You know?

389
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 5: I also asked.

390
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 12: Them, you know, why is Heja being forced onto people

391
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 12: within that country or why is Islam being forced and

392
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 12: they mentioned that these are the things that we have

393
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 12: lived with as Iranians for thousands of years, and we

394
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 12: have a democracy within Iran. So people aren't doing their research,

395
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 12: and they are in many ways ignorance unfortunately, or choosing

396
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 12: to turn a blind eye. Because if anyone truly believes

397
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 12: that the democratic state within the country of Iran, I

398
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 12: don't know how we can compete with that, to be honest, reader, is.

399
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 4: Ignorance or is it pro anti Western sentiment? And that's

400
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 4: why they're siding with this regime because though they live

401
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 4: in the West. They hate Western civilization. You talked about

402
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 4: the non Iranians who attend these sorts of rallies. Tell

403
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 4: me about the mix in the crowd. Are they mainly

404
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 4: Australian born and bred people there or is it predominantly

405
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 4: people who've migrated, perhaps from the Middle East and yet

406
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 4: are pro Iranian regime.

407
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 12: I would say it was a good fifty to fifty mix.

408
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 12: There were a lot of Iranians there who have been

409
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 12: in Australia for about thirty years now, and when we

410
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 12: ask them why they chose to be in Australia if

411
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 12: they love Iran so much under the current dictatorship, they

412
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 12: mentioned that they pay their taxes and they deserve to

413
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 12: be here.

414
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 5: That was any response we received. The rest were.

415
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 12: Who weren't even able to understand simple questions when we

416
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 12: asked them about the signs they were carrying, or when

417
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 12: we asked them what they thought about, you know, certain

418
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 12: facts coming out of the country. And you know, I

419
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 12: will say this, I did know a few people there

420
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 12: as I used to be with the Greens Party and

421
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 12: I had to leave because of the party's position on Iran.

422
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 12: And those people who were there at the rally who

423
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 12: I used to even work with. They are very clear

424
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 12: about who this regime is because the Green's Party was,

425
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 12: you know, a massive supporter of the Iranian dice from

426
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 12: within Australia during the Master movement, the woman like Freedom movement.

427
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 12: So you're right, it isn't just ignorance. It is this

428
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 12: pushing of the anti imperialism narrative at the cost of

429
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 12: people dying, at the cost of people living in oppression.

430
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 5: And I really don't think how privileged people are to

431
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 5: be able to even have that position.

432
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 4: Tina Quadrastrami, thank you so much for your time, really appreciated.

433
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 5: Thanks for having me still.

434
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 4: To come and we take a look at the shocking

435
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 4: story of Christine Noames's husband being exposed as a cross dresser.

436
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 3: Michael Loftus is up next.

437
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 4: You're watching the Reader Paney Show and it's time for

438
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 4: Lefties losing it and we have to have our weekly

439
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 4: check in with the ladies of the view. Let's see

440
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 4: if this lot can go through a show without saying

441
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 4: something spectacularly stupid.

442
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 3: Did you see the rendition of the of the library

443
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 3: that he's building. Yes, it's a giant It looks like

444
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 3: a giant penis.

445
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 13: Oh, yeah, let me see that.

446
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 3: It's just this giant thing.

447
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 4: This looks like a modern building tower like millions others

448
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 4: you have seen around the world.

449
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 3: Maybe just a little bit pretty.

450
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 4: But what we can see a penis Now they are

451
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 4: deranged on that program.

452
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 3: We shouldn't be shocked. Here is Sunny Houstin.

453
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 4: Suggesting that it's reckless to have children unless you make

454
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 4: over four hundred thousand dollars.

455
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 6: I think it's just really reckless to be suggesting that

456
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 6: people should have children when you now know in this

457
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 6: country there's this affordability crisis and for a two person household,

458
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 6: a married household, you need over four hundred thousand dollars

459
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 6: for child care, over four hundred thousand dollars. Most people

460
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 6: don't make over four hundred thousand dollars. So she's advocating

461
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 6: for people to be born into poverty, people not being

462
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 6: able to feed those children, people not being able to

463
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 6: educate those children, and people not being able to house

464
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 6: those children. At the same time when this government is

465
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 6: cutting all of the services.

466
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 4: Deranged, arranged, I told you so unless you are rich,

467
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 4: earning over four hundred thousand dollars, and forget about having

468
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 4: a family, that would be reckless. And you can forget

469
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 4: about marriage too, because apparently that's tantamount to slavery if

470
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 4: you're a woman.

471
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,479
Speaker 3: Here is actress Leslie Jones.

472
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 5: I think marriage is legalized slavery?

473
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 3: You do, yes, I do.

474
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 14: Say more because if I'm thinking about slavery and I'm

475
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 14: thinking about marriage, there are two different images that absolutely not.

476
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 3: I don't think.

477
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 5: I don't know how you don't?

478
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 6: Man is if his specially he's expecting you to be

479
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 6: a trad wave, is might as well pull out a whip.

480
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 3: And a chain.

481
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 14: Well, so there are young people watching who might be

482
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 14: wanting to get married, what would you say to them?

483
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 13: Don't don't get married?

484
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 4: No, okay, slavery. You know, I'm done with these crazy women.

485
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 4: Let's check in with a dude pretending to be a woman.

486
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 4: Maybe he's a little bit more sad. And you've got

487
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 4: to give Dylan Mulvainy some credit here. He has been

488
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 4: mocking womanhood or girlhood as he calls it, for four years.

489
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 3: Now. How old are you?

490
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 4: I'm four years old.

491
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 13: You are the youngest person ever.

492
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 4: You were the youngest time for an awful Now you

493
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 4: remember them affluent white female leftists, they're now protesting for

494
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 4: a ceasefire, protesting for the military action against the Islamist

495
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 4: Iranian regime.

496
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 3: To end. Here you have an Iranian woman trying.

497
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 4: To impress upon an awful how evil this Iranian regime is.

498
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 4: But the smug lefty doesn't hear a word.

499
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: She's right, Iranians are asking for the box.

500
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 3: What are you doing supporting a terrorist regime? Why are

501
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 3: you supporting a terrorist regime? I understand wanting is that.

502
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 4: Having no rights to Mimi Iranian, I mean in prison

503
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 4: by that regime. Let's bring in documentary filmmaker and commentator

504
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 4: Armi Horowitz. Army, I gotta say that smug look on

505
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 4: that woman's face is maddening.

506
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 3: The Iranian woman told her.

507
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 4: What that regime has done to her family, how she

508
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,959
Speaker 4: may never see her father again, and the protest clearly

509
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 4: couldn't care less.

510
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: Now, of course, of course not. Do you think she

511
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: cares one whit that the entire and I mean the

512
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: entire Iranian diaspora is for this war and against the regime.

513
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: Of course she doesn't. This is all about, ultimately, not

514
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: about Iran, not about Palestine. When it comes to the

515
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: Israeli conflict with the Palestinians. This is all about the

516
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 1: destruction and the burning down of the West, the destruction

517
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: of capitalism, self immolation, I dare say, self hatred. This

518
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: is what it really is about. It's not about that woman.

519
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 1: It's about that, you know, the Iranian woman. But it's

520
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: about that white, older woman herself and what her thoughts are.

521
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: It's why Queers for Palestine exists, right, That's the same

522
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: pathology that even though if they're like, being gay is

523
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: obviously one of the most fundamental concepts of your being,

524
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: but you would rather support the people who are throwing

525
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 1: your people off of ruse and balconies to their deaths

526
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 1: because what's more important for them was the bigger endgame,

527
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: the destruction of capitalism. And by the way, if you

528
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: mentioned those thirty two thousand Iranians who are slaughtered by

529
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 1: the regime, they're gonna look at you and say they

530
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 1: just die in the altar of socialism. That's how bad

531
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: it's gotten. And that's what really the game's about.

532
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,719
Speaker 4: Now on the war, President Donald Trump has offered a

533
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 4: new estimate for when the conflict will end. Is told

534
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 4: reporters earlier today that he expects American forces to leave

535
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 4: within two to three weeks, Army, what do you make

536
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 4: of that?

537
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 12: Yeah?

538
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: Look, ultimately the president he also often speaks aspirationally, right,

539
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 1: that's kind of what I think this is awesome? Does

540
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 1: he means two three weeks? Maybe? Maybe not? We're not sure, right. Look,

541
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: I trust him to get the job done, okay, And

542
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: the timing matters less than what the achievement is going

543
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: to be. Okay, give you a sense. I mean, if

544
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: we stopped today, I got if you pulled out today,

545
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: the world is exponentially better off today than it was

546
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: a month ago before the war started. Just so we're

547
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: one hundred percent clear of where we're at in this

548
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: stand now. All the people are talking about no exit strategy.

549
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: There's not nonsense. We're already better off. Okay. And by

550
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: the way, just to give you a sense, like from

551
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: a data point standpoint, that we've been averaging last month

552
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: the war began, roughly three thousand targets being hit per week.

553
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: So if he continue this for just three more weeks,

554
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: that's almost ten thousand more targets. I don't think ten

555
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: thousand targets really exist out there for him to hit.

556
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, that timing kind of tracks with me. And

557
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: by the way, just to give you a sense of achievement, right,

558
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: this is incredibly Look the Golf States, right, the golves

559
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: that are pushing the president to go further. They want

560
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: this war to continue.

561
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 13: This is a ward.

562
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: So we understand what's going on that the chief ally

563
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: with the president is the state of Israel. If the

564
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: Golf States are aligning with the State of Israel because

565
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: of they understand the threat that Iran has. And by

566
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: the way, just two years ago, okay, the Iranians were

567
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: CosIng up. I'm sorry, the Golf States were coosing up

568
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 1: with the Iranians because they thought that under Biden that

569
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: they left them standing in the wind, like okay, we're

570
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: alone this thing. We've got to show you to protect ourselves.

571
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: That's how far we've moved. And that's how the world

572
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: has changed under President Trump as opposed to President Biden.

573
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 4: Well, you mentioned the Biden years, and this gives you

574
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 4: indication where the Democrats are at the moment. Michigan's Democratic

575
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:23,959
Speaker 4: Senate candidate Abdul l Said has told staffers he wanted

576
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 4: to avoid making a public statement about the assassination of

577
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 4: Ayatola Ali Komeni because there are a lot of people

578
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 4: in Dearborn who are sad about it. This is according

579
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 4: to the report by the Washington Free Beacon Army. The

580
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 4: Democrats have a problem. Yeah, and it's one that have

581
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 4: ignored for a long time. Most of the media has

582
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 4: ignored this issue as well.

583
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 3: But when you've got.

584
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 4: People very sad about the death of the Ayatola in Dearborn, Michigan,

585
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 4: then there's a problem.

586
00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: It's a massive problem.

587
00:30:59,200 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 5: Obviously.

588
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: We've been saying this for years and now we're seeing

589
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: to come through. Look, yeah, Dear Michigan is the home

590
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: of the terrorists who smashes vehicle into a Jewish school

591
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: or to kill Jewish children, right, and you just came

592
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: out today that he did it. Shocking of shocks for Hezbollah,

593
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: the terrorist organization Lebanon. And and and by the way,

594
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: you know, again as bears repeating the media's portrayal of

595
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: this guy's motivations, we remember this, right, it's important, I

596
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: think to go over it again that he did this

597
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: because his family was killed in Lebanon. Oh yeah, his

598
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: brothers who were husband At agents who were targeted by

599
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,479
Speaker 1: Israel because they're trying to destroy this date of Israel. Yeah,

600
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: those the guys at the media is trying to make sympathize.

601
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: But this this thing, as I it is really again

602
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,719
Speaker 1: about the Democratic Party and where they are. I think

603
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: it speaks more to them, maybe even than Debar Michigan,

604
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: that he's the candidate that, by the way, is within

605
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: the margin of error. Just you know, he's not the

606
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: kind of fringe candidate. He's within the margin of error

607
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: to win this thing. I think it says wait a bit.

608
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: And I can also stress enough that the language Key's

609
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: using is not only the language of the left, which

610
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: obviously it is. It's also the language of horseshoe rate,

611
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: and it's also the language that you're wanting it. So

612
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: now we see this trafactor, this re legged stool come

613
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: together of our enemies right dictating the language of both

614
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: the hard left and the hard rate. It's very, very scary.

615
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 4: It is now to a headline that is causing all

616
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 4: sorts of waves on social media and elsewhere. The Daily

617
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 4: Mail reports bullet the bullet used to kill Charlie Kirk

618
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 4: did not match the rifle allegedly used by suspect Tyler Robinson.

619
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 4: This is according to new court filings. Army that headline

620
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 4: is perhaps a little misleading. What more can you tell

621
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 4: me about what we've found out about this case?

622
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: You know, Rita, I've always sawt you as a kind woman,

623
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: and you just showed yourself. Misleading is not the word.

624
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: It despicable, Okay, it's journalistic malpractice. Yeah, it's it's I

625
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: couldn't even believe it when I was first told that

626
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,959
Speaker 1: this was the headline of that article that I had

627
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: to read it. Of course, look all the evidence, and

628
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: I mean all the evidence point to Robinson, right, the

629
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: DNA at evidence, the fact that he actually admitted that

630
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: he did this. What they did, they said, they said

631
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: that that the the Yeah, the bullet doesn't match the gun. Yeah,

632
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: well that's because the bullet disintegrated, it fragmented, it didn't

633
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: It doesn't relate to any gun possible could They couldn't

634
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: get striations off that bullet. But they didn't give you

635
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: that context. They just gave you this misleading and journalistic

636
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: malpractice headline that would lead one to believe that this

637
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: is actual evidence that says that he didn't do it. Again,

638
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: this is all pointing towards this conspiracy theory that we've

639
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: seen on the hard left and the hard right, giving

640
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: air to that. I can't believe they actually did that.

641
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: It's like saying the lack of absence lack of evidence

642
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: doesn't mean lack of capability.

643
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 13: Right.

644
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: It's like saying that a guy murdered somebody and he

645
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: admitted to the murder, but he dipped his hands and acid,

646
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: so his fingerprints don't match the fingerprints that are having.

647
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: That's exactly what it is. It's total and complete nonsense.

648
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 4: Now let's get back to the Democrats. And this is

649
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 4: another astonishing story. In the battle ground state of Pennsylvania.

650
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,760
Speaker 4: The Democrats we drew a resolution to honor National Women's

651
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 4: Month after a Republican asked them what a woman is.

652
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 10: Man speaker of this amendment is very straightforward and clear.

653
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 13: It defines what a woman actually is because we do

654
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 13: know what that is.

655
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 8: Thank you.

656
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 3: The resolution is temporarily over.

657
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 4: I mean, the Democrats could win the midterms in the

658
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 4: most massive landslide ever seen if that could.

659
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 3: Just pretend to be normal. But they can't manage that,

660
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 3: can they.

661
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: No, it is so incredibly revealing. Obviously, Yeah, no, they

662
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: can't be normal. By the way, they could have won

663
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: presidential election. Okay, not to the midterms. Election if they

664
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: were just normal, but that's not in their DNA. No,

665
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 1: they have zero ability to understand what the electorate wants.

666
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: It's why they've lost, It's why they'll I'm not saying

667
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: they're going to lose them in terms, are probably not

668
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 1: going to, but they will win it with a much

669
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: much larger margin. They've just moved away from this idiocy,

670
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: but they simply can't do it.

671
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 3: No.

672
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 4: Now, talking about crazy idiocy, I want to ask you

673
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 4: about California. I don't think Australians realize just how crazy

674
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 4: California is. It's what happens when Democrats control were every

675
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 4: level of government. And I mean told me about this

676
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 4: gubernatoral debate that was supposed to take place last week.

677
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 4: It was canceled the last minute because all the candidates

678
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 4: were white. What is wrong with your home state? Your

679
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 4: original home state?

680
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, this is absolutely extraordinary. It truly is tell

681
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: me my home state, but it's also my own modern

682
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 1: usc Yeah. They had a debate and they put the

683
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: criteria forward fin the way country that made sense, how

684
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: you pulled and off? They added how much money you

685
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: were able to raise to give you a sense of

686
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: who really is involved. In this race, and it turns

687
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 1: out that the top candidates were all white, and that

688
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:41,439
Speaker 1: is not acceptable in California. What you can't have all

689
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: white candidates. I don't care if that's the criteria that

690
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: we allow. This can't be. But you know, I'm going

691
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 1: to take a little of a victory lap here Riada,

692
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: if you don't mind. I don't know if you remember,

693
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: but I told you that California was not necessarily lost. Okay,

694
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 1: and you lacked at you lacked guess Okay, we'll get

695
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: you know. I'm just telling you. And the last two

696
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 1: polls that were done, the top two leading candidates are

697
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 1: the Republicans. Okay, that's what happened when the two biggest

698
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: Democratic candidate you have running are known for banging a

699
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 1: Chinese spy and a woman who can't keep anybody as

700
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,720
Speaker 1: parvar staff because she has a toxic work environment.

701
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, that would be the same woman who dumped a

702
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 4: panful of mashed potatoes on her ex husband's head at

703
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 4: some point. Her track record is frankly remarkable. Yes, you're

704
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 4: saying they got two Republicans as leading the polls, but

705
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 4: are they Republicans or are they Rhinos? Are they the

706
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 4: sort of Republicans that can get elected in California, but

707
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 4: anywhere else in the country they'd be pretty much considered Democrats.

708
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: It were a big tent reader the Republican Party, the

709
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: big tent and all saw and that we don't need

710
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: purity task if not worth. But the Democrats are about

711
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: that's what they lose. We want people going to win.

712
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: And yes, of course the Arable Army.

713
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 4: Before you go and ask you about Seapak. He was

714
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 4: in Texas this year. There a lot of Iranians there

715
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 4: that were there to hear the crown Prince speak, I

716
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 4: would imagine. But RFK Junior was also there and he

717
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 4: was asked about how his perceptions of President Trump changed

718
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 4: after he joined the administration. Of course he was a Democrat.

719
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 4: This is what he had to say.

720
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 7: Well, let me just say this, brudent Trump is exactly

721
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:39,839
Speaker 7: the opposite of everything that I believed him to be.

722
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 7: I basically drank the kool aid that he was his

723
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 7: you know, bombassaic narcissists. I didn't read books, was ill informed,

724
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 7: and and then you know, now I know exactly the opposite.

725
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 7: He's the opposite of a narcissist. Season Ambath, you will

726
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 7: see that every time he talks about the Ukraine War.

727
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 4: Army also said that his father and his uncle would

728
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 4: be making the same sort of decisions Donald Trump is

729
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,240
Speaker 4: making right now when it comes to Ukraine and Iran.

730
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 3: Does that ring true to you?

731
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 12: So?

732
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: Trump is not a bombastic narcissist? And I mean to

733
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: pose that question in the most loving way.

734
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 4: Possible, Hami Horowitz, We always love your analysis.

735
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:30,399

Speaker 3: What do you make of this story? The New York.

753
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 4: Posters reported the photos were taken while he was acting

754
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:52,399
Speaker 4: out some bimbo bimbo fication fetish. I'm not even sure

755
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:56,320
Speaker 4: what that is, but apparently it's all about exaggerated physical

756
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 4: appearance and hypersexuality.

757
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's it's it's crazy. This is one of those

758
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 13: things where I don't want to know what this is.

759
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 13: I could have gone my whole life without knowing that

760
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 13: this was a thing. And I tell you what, Christinome,

761
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 13: she's going to have an open and shut divorce case

762
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 13: right there. Her lawyer is going to be like your

763
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 13: honor Exhibit A B and the double d's. It's not

764
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 13: going to be good. And she couldn't run homeland security anymore.

765
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 13: She was blindsided by this. She didn't know her husband

766
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 13: was doing this. And if terrorists were ever to find

767
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 13: out that Christy Nome can't see this kind of thing,

768
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 13: we would have had cross dressing terrorists just coming across

769
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 13: the desert into America.

770
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I mean yeah, there's all sorts of

771
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 4: questions being raised now about you know, I could have

772
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 4: been compromised, would have been a national security threat. But

773
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 4: having an individual who's this close to the seat of power.

774
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 4: The President has now responded Seat of power yes to

775
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 4: this story. He's told The Daily Mail he did not

776
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,280
Speaker 4: know about the photos and was surprised that Nome had

777
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 4: confirmed their authenticity. He said, they confirmed it. Wow, Well,

778
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 4: I feel badly for the family. If that's the case,

779
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:17,240
Speaker 4: that's too bad.

780
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:19,359
Speaker 3: This is quite a.

781
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 4: For from grace for Christine Home. She was sacked by

782
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 4: the president, demoted into a lesser role, and not too

783
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 4: long ago, Michael, she was the face of a two

784
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 4: hundred million dollar ad campaign.

785
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 13: Yeah, and you had people on the left saying that

786
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 13: Christy Nome wasn't qualified for that job because she was

787
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 13: a bimbo. And it turns out it was her husband

788
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 13: the whole time. It's like the ultimate plot twist. No

789
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 13: one saw this coming. And for this guy, he's on

790
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 13: the internet trying to meet people. Would it kill you

791
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,359
Speaker 13: to smile, buddy? I mean, you got the hotpan on,

792
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 13: you got the big knockers. Give us a smile. That's

793
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 13: what's so confusing about it. Are you not happy?

794
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,240
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you said double D's.

795
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 4: I had to look at some of those photos that

796
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 4: would be Triple K's. I mean we're talking oversized, oversized.

797
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,720
Speaker 3: Now let's move along from this story.

798
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 4: We've seen all sorts of bullying and intimidation of Nicki

799
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 4: Minaj since she came out as pro Trump.

800
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 3: And the activists did promise that they would.

801
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 4: Hunt for other MAGA musicians and expose them and teale

802
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 4: Cee sing aunt Chili Chili Thomas, who donated to the

803
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 4: Trump campaign, has been caught out, but unlike Minaj, who's

804
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:53,240
Speaker 4: been steadfast and strong, Chili has apologized in record times.

805
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:56,800
Speaker 4: She also posted on social media, I want to be clear,

806
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,399
Speaker 4: I am not MAGA and do not support any of

807
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 4: the many policies that are causing great harm to the

808
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 4: American people. I made a mistake, too many, too many

809
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 4: make I did not read the fine print.

810
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 3: Pathetic, pathetic week, Michael. But I guess I shouldn't.

811
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 4: Be shocked because the hate and cancelation efforts that Nicki

812
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 4: Minaj has faced. I guess someone like Chili from tailc

813
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 4: She's not big enough to withstand that.

814
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 3: I guess not.

815
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 13: I guess not, and to apologize this vociferously and this fact.

816
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 13: You know who does that? A scrub. A scrub does that.

817
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 13: And I don't want no scrubs.

818
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 3: Stuff you chili.

819
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 13: She says she didn't read the fine print. What with

820
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 13: Donald Trump? There is no fine print with Donald Trump.

821
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 13: That dude is all caps caps locked. I'm building a wall.

822
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:56,720
Speaker 13: There's no fine print.

823
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:03,280
Speaker 4: Everything is doing he has been yelling about, screaming about

824
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 4: for at least the last five years, throughout the Biden years.

825
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 4: We knew about the deportation plan, we knew about the wall,

826
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 4: we knew about pretty much everything he is doing. Right now, now,

827
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:18,800
Speaker 4: let's talk about Tiger Woods. He's announced that he's taking

828
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 4: a break from golf, just days after he was arrested

829
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,760
Speaker 4: for driving under the influence in Florida. In a post

830
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 4: to social media, Woods wrote, I know and understand the

831
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 4: seriousness of the situation I find myself in today. I

832
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 4: am stepping away for a period of time to seek

833
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 4: treatment and focus on my health.

834
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 3: This is necessary in.

835
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 4: Order for me to prioritize my well being and work

836
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 4: towards recovery.

837
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 3: Michael.

838
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 4: It was also reported that Tiger Woods was caught with

839
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 4: two white pills in his pocket. According to police. It's

840
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 4: a sad state of affairs.

841
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 3: This man is a sporting legend and much beloved.

842
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:01,919
Speaker 13: Yeah, and it's he wants the best for Tiger. He's

843
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 13: just so beloved. But this is one of those examples

844
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 13: that God doesn't give with both hands, right, Like, I'm

845
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 13: going to make you one of the best golfers ever,

846
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 13: but when you try to drive, you're gonna suck at it.

847
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 13: You're gonna wreck like a third of the time. This guy,

848
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 13: he's make us all. We're all screaming, you know, at

849
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 13: our TVs right now. Dude, you're worth one point five

850
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 13: billion dollars. Get a driver. Get a driver. I know

851
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,760
Speaker 13: there's a double entendre right there. He's good with a putter.

852
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 13: I think the guy needs a driver.

853
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 8: Is what he needs.

854
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 3: He does need a driver, you're right.

855
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 4: And there's also been concern about the fact that he

856
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 4: may be driving around in that sort of state. The

857
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 4: President's grandchildren, not that you'd want any children in the car,

858
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 4: but Tiger Woods is dating Don Junior's ex wife and

859
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 4: the mother of his children, so that's also been spoken about.

860
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:01,320
Speaker 3: There's always a twist in these stories. Now brought you news.

861
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:04,400
Speaker 4: The other day of a potential royal reunion between King

862
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 4: Charles and Prince Harry in the UK.

863
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 3: Later this year.

864
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 4: Have a new reports revealed that Prince William may snup

865
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 4: his younger brother and that invitation if it weren't to come.

866
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 4: What do you make of this story, Michael, Can you

867
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 4: see these brothers ever reconciling. I mean, it's so sad

868
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 4: that the only sons of the future. King William is

869
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 4: obviously going to be king one day, and to have

870
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 4: Harry completely estranged from his family is a sad state

871
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:33,800
Speaker 4: of affairs.

872
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 13: Yeah, these two guys have to get back together and

873
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 13: they will. It's Megan Mirkle. This chick just must be

874
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 13: unbearable to beer around the Royals. I guess she's going

875
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:51,439
Speaker 13: to be touring Australia and she's giving some speech at

876
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 13: like her best life thing, and it's like, that's the

877
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:58,439
Speaker 13: last person you want to hear about her best life.

878
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 13: Megan Mirkle, who's just on this trail of tears? What

879
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 13: is she going to tell these people, Oh, your best life,

880
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 13: you want to marry a royal and then ruin his life.

881
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 13: The royals need to be very quiet for a long time.

882
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 13: They need to take a page out of Queen Elizabeth's handbook.

883
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 13: She would just hang back, hang back. You wouldn't hear

884
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 13: from her for months, and all of a sudden she

885
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 13: pop out and she's like, I love Britain, Britain is fantastic,

886
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 13: and then she'd go away again. That's what these boys

887
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 13: need to do.

888
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,839
Speaker 3: Michael Loft's it's always a pleasure. Thanks for your.

889
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:33,839
Speaker 4: Time tonight, and that's all the time we have. But

890
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 4: don't go anywhere. Newsnight is up next.
