00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:04,519
Speaker 1: On scors Ostrodio.

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 2: This is the Weader Panalty Show.

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the readA Panety Show. Coming

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 3: up tonight. Economists warned that the Albinzy government's fuel security

5
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 3: plan will sink the country further into debt. The panel

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 3: will be here to cover the day's top headlines. Labor

7
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 3: finally conceivees that the NDIS is out of control. Drew Pavlou,

8
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 3: who helped expose NDIS fraud, joins me to discuss that

9
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 3: Kosher Gator will have the latest from the US, including

10
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 3: Donald Trump's threat to destroy the Iranian regime, and later

11
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 3: in the program, the always mischievous Alex Stein will share

12
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 3: the fun he had at a pro trans rally over

13
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 3: the weekend. Plus will have Lefties Losing It, which tonight

14
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 3: includes a trip to Canada.

15
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 4: It's hired as a racialized and transgender delegate to sometimes

16
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 4: use this card and speak up.

17
00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: Speak to somebody in front of me in.

18
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 4: Line and ask hey, this pretains to multiple intersecting parts

19
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 4: of my lived experience.

20
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 3: I'd like to speak but first, Economists of warning that

21
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 3: Labour's National Fuel Security Plan will not only sink the

22
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 3: budget into further deficit, but it may also be inflationary.

23
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 3: The Australian newspaper reports that some labor MP's were perplexed

24
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 3: by the Prime Minister's decision to slash the fuel excise. Meanwhile,

25
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 3: Shadow Energy Minister Dan ten told Sky News here's worried

26
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 3: the plan could be counterproductive and create a worse cost

27
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 3: of living crisis.

28
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 5: The Prime Minister Sadley's had to be drag kicking and

29
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 5: screaming to get through this decision.

30
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 6: To course, we welcome it.

31
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 5: But it'll be inflation unless there's offsets, and we offered

32
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 5: offsets to the government so it wouldn't be inflationary. And

33
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 5: yet the government seems to have just rushed this out

34
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 5: without offsets. And the real risk now is that we're

35
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 5: going to see inflation of five six percent following the

36
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 5: budget and that will put even more pressure on family

37
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 5: and house sold.

38
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 3: Joining me now is Institute of Public Affairs Research fellow

39
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 3: Colleen Harken and Sky News contributor Prough McSween Colleen is

40
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 3: the albity is a government doing enough to respond to

41
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 3: this crisis?

42
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 7: The short answer to that is no. I mean this

43
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,399
Speaker 7: sort of excise offer.

44
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 6: Is obviously a bit of a sugar hit. It will

45
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 6: be popular.

46
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 7: People will be more than happy to take it and

47
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 7: take what it's on the table. But there's no clear

48
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 7: long term strategy to this. There is no sort of

49
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 7: vision of what actually are we going to do. This

50
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 7: is not going to be solved in the next few days.

51
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 7: There's been two or three weeks notice of stress, distress

52
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 7: and supply chain problems, and yet the National Cabinet only

53
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 7: met yesterday. So you know, this has been known that

54
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 7: this was coming for a couple of weeks. People have

55
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 7: been warning about, you know, empty fuel tanks. It's not

56
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 7: like we didn't know that this was coming. And it's

57
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 7: only twenty four hours ago that they've even started to

58
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 7: sit down and talk about what to do and the

59
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 7: what to do. Who has got problems as well? You

60
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 7: know that you've got problems with people on your own

61
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 7: team acqueering whether it's the right decision.

62
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 3: Well yes, when you've got MP's perplexed prow by the

63
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 3: decisions you're announcing, it suggests that they're just making policy

64
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 3: on the run.

65
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 8: Here.

66
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 9: Well, you know, this is a drowning man. Sadly, this

67
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 9: Prime minister has no plan. He has an energy minister

68
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 9: that lies to us I mean, you couldn't believe a

69
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 9: word coming out of Bowen's mouth. And it's all policy

70
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 9: on the run, driven by the polls, and they have

71
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 9: no idea what to do. They're like they're drowning, and

72
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 9: so here we have a situation where they're politically making

73
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 9: a nice sugar hitters Collins. But in the end, the

74
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 9: whole idea is to offset it if we're worried about inflation,

75
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 9: which of course we all need to be an r they,

76
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 9: you know, the opposition, I think had a good idea

77
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 9: to stop the you know, EV subsidy and the green

78
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 9: hydrogen and also their home battery business.

79
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 10: You know.

80
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 9: I mean, there are plenty of ways where the government's

81
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 9: largest to just go down the renewable track and preposter

82
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 9: that could actually offset this sugar hit. But basically we

83
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 9: all know that the government is all at sea. They

84
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 9: have no idea how to handle this crisis. Meanwhile, we're

85
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 9: going to run out and we'll get to the stage

86
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 9: where we will be rationing.

87
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 3: Interesting that you mentioned rationing prove because this isn't the

88
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 3: first time Australians have had the threat of fuel rationing

89
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 3: imposed on them. They are on sun reports today, the

90
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 3: threat of fuel rationing has been around from World War

91
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 3: II to the Iranian Revolution in nineteen seventy nine. The

92
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 3: government has imposed restrictions before, but I've got to say,

93
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 3: I don't know how receptive Australians are going to be

94
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 3: to further restrictions after everything we endured during COVID. How

95
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 3: do you see a colleen? Do you think we will

96
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 3: accept it?

97
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 7: We may not have a choice. I think that's the

98
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 7: first issue.

99
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 6: I don't think people will be very happy about it

100
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 6: at all.

101
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 7: But there may not be a choice, and it might

102
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 7: have to be alternate days or something like that, because

103
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,559
Speaker 7: we are going to have We do have a supply problem.

104
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 7: I don't care what the government keeps pretending that it's

105
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 7: a panic buying problem. There is a significant issue that's

106
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 7: still not being addressed.

107
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 6: I think the average Australian is looking.

108
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 7: At this and going, how did we let ourselves become

109
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 7: a nation that is so vulnerable when we have so

110
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 7: many natural resources. We used to have the cheapest energy

111
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 7: supply were you know, we're an abundance of opportunity and

112
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 7: we've squandered it all and we've shut it all down.

113
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 7: I think that's what will make people really angry that

114
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 7: we've come to this place where we are rationing our fuel.

115
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 3: I fear, given what we saw during COVID, that Australians

116
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 3: are going to be all too ready to accept any

117
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,559
Speaker 3: sort of Australians, no matter how reasonable or unreasonable, because

118
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 3: we saw during COVID the enthusiasm with which people embrace

119
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 3: restrictions and even the most irrational restrictions. We had bands

120
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 3: on fishing and playing golf and playground bands and acquiesce.

121
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 3: And I think we've got that sort of population. Sadly,

122
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 3: one man who is not ready to accept rationing lockdowns

123
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 3: or any other COVID style restrictions is Sushi Mango comic

124
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 3: Carlos Salentini.

125
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: Why don't we just drill for our own fuel we've got?

126
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 2: Why do we have to ask other countries?

127
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 3: Why don't we just drill for our own What a

128
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 3: big an Australia and start drilling?

129
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 11: Why?

130
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 2: I ask you everyone, We've got here, it's just in

131
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: the ground. Dig it, start digging, dig it out.

132
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 12: Well.

133
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 3: The message there is drill, baby, drill, prow It's what

134
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 3: I've been saying for years now, and it's a message

135
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 3: that's increasingly resonating with the public. What do you think

136
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 3: do you think this is going to see a change

137
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 3: of course for this country and the energy policies that

138
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 3: have we're embraced.

139
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 9: I hope so. I mean, I think that anthropologists will

140
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 9: look back at this period in our life and think

141
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 9: this is zombie net zero thinking of lemmings. You know,

142
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 9: it was the fashion trend of the day where everybody

143
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 9: had to demonize fossil fuels and politicians driven by I

144
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 9: guess these generation alphabets who were so socially aware and

145
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 9: had no responsibility, all care, no responsibility, have driven this

146
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 9: infatuation and this ridiculous situation where our energy supplies are demonized.

147
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 9: So let's hope that there's some you know, what's going

148
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 9: to happen now. I think we're going to go through

149
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 9: a lot more pain. Sadly, I think there will be

150
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 9: limited food from our agricultural sector. I think that, you know,

151
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 9: people are going to do it so tough that they

152
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 9: may have a wake up call. And it's about time

153
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 9: that we all understood that he was right. You know,

154
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 9: our a comedian was right. We need to start drilling

155
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 9: like crazy.

156
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 13: Now.

157
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 3: The RBA has announced today that surcharges on credit card

158
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 3: and debit cards will be banned from October. This ban

159
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 3: is expected to save Australians around one point six billion

160
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 3: dollars a year in fees.

161
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 8: Colleen, this is a big development.

162
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 3: The RBA will also reduce the cap on credit card

163
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 3: interchange fees that's what's paid by merchants to the banks.

164
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 8: That's going to be reduced.

165
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 3: From zero point eight percent to zero point three percent.

166
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 8: Are you a fan of these changes?

167
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 7: Actually, I'm not really because it obscures the cost of things,

168
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 7: and so at the moment you can actually see what

169
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 7: the surcharge is. When this is all piled in together,

170
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 7: you won't have that transparency. It will also mean that

171
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 7: people who are using cash are paying for those who

172
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 7: are using credit cards, because it will all be included

173
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 7: in the cost of the item. And so if I'm

174
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 7: using cash, I'm still paying for that surcharge that's being

175
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 7: built in, and I would encourage people to use cash

176
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 7: whenever they can. So, you know, I'm not really a

177
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 7: fan of it because I think it's absolutely it's obscuring

178
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 7: transparency and transparency is always a good thing.

179
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 3: Pro Yeah, we think we're going to be saving collectively

180
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 3: one point six billion dollars.

181
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 8: But if the consumer is just going to be ending.

182
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 3: Up paying that through higher prices, then where is the

183
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 3: saving coming in. And Colleen makes an excellent point about

184
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 3: if you are paying cash, then you're subsidizing those who

185
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 3: are opt for credit.

186
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 9: That's right, and you know, it's absolutely right that the

187
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 9: business they're in business to make money, they're going to

188
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 9: pass that cost on in the price of everything we buy.

189
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 9: So it is ludicrous. Again, it's a scam. You know,

190
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 9: whether it's the irba's feeling really, you know, so anxious

191
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 9: that they're going to be having to do another few

192
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 9: interest rate rises, maybe they've decided to chuck us a

193
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 9: few sort of lollies and hope that we don't understand

194
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 9: that we'll be paying it at the you know, the

195
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 9: cashier ridiculous.

196
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 3: That said, yeah, it could be just a little bit

197
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 3: of a sugar hit to distract us.

198
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 8: From what the end result's going to look like.

199
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 3: Now, the hits keep coming for ARN as news comes

200
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 3: through this morning that Jackie Oh She's joining Kyl Sandalans

201
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 3: in taking her employer to court after their two hundred

202
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 3: million dollar contract contract was torn up. Jackie Anderson is

203
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 3: seeking more than eighty two million dollars in compensation. Now,

204
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 3: Jackie O claims she was unfairly dismissed after an Hones

205
00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 3: spat with co host Kyl sandalans Prou Not a lawyer,

206
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 3: but she looks.

207
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 8: To have an excellent case.

208
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 3: To me, this all looks very opportunistic by ar and management.

209
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 3: Those two have a history decades long of having ones, spats,

210
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 3: having robust discussions and fights. To suddenly decide that's misconduct

211
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 3: deserving of a sacking to me seems incredible me too.

212
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 9: You know, I don't think they have a very good

213
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 9: case at all. The bad thing is that they, you know,

214
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 9: were they succumb to the demands of these two, and

215
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 9: now they realize that they've paid way over the odds.

216
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 9: They even had invoked on their license that a censor

217
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 9: had to be in the channel with them listening to

218
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 9: the show. So isn't it on the sensor and on arn?

219
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 12: You know?

220
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 9: So if there was behavior that was objectionable, then I

221
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 9: just don't see how they're going to win this case.

222
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 9: And you know, just shows you how stupid they were

223
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 9: signing contracts like that with these two.

224
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 3: Colleen, they knew what they were getting though, when they

225
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 3: did this deal, and they only did this still a

226
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 3: couple of years ago. So we're two years into a

227
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 3: ten year deal one hundred million dollars each for Kyle

228
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 3: Sandlands and Jackie Oh, and two years in they've decided

229
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 3: the very content that they used to promote to highlight

230
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 3: this program is now suddenly so offensive that it deserves termination.

231
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, and look, I'm pleased to say I've never listened

232
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 7: to them, but I have read a lot about, you know,

233
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 7: what they do and what they say, and they've made

234
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 7: a you know, they've made a brand out of being

235
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 7: offensive and objectionable and ridiculing people and being mean and nasty.

236
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 6: That's been my understanding that.

237
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 3: Kyle Schick Jackie was the nice one, so that they

238
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 3: had that balance. I've got to say, I haven't heard

239
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 3: a great deal e, but I've heard segments of the program.

240
00:12:55,400 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 3: And it's interesting because in Melbourne they have struggled to

241
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 3: find an audience, but in Sydney last ratings results, they

242
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 3: were the most popular breakfast program on FM.

243
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 8: Again.

244
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 7: But if you've done that for a number of years

245
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 7: and you've just resigned a contract for one hundred million dollars,

246
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 7: I'm clearly in the wrong job, by the way. But

247
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 7: if you signed a contract for that kind of money

248
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 7: and you've been doing the job with the same partner

249
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 7: for what is it twenty years or something, you know,

250
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 7: you know what you're getting yourself in for. So I mean,

251
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 7: I think that you've got a contract right. So legally,

252
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 7: I'm sure that her case sounds pretty sound, But from

253
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 7: an integrity point of view, I'm not quite sure why

254
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:35,719
Speaker 7: she resigned.

255
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 8: Well, I would have received well, I would talk one

256
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 8: hundred mils. I want to think about it.

257
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 3: And you know what, they had a fantastic on air chemistry.

258
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 3: They changed radio stations and the station they left pretty

259
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 3: much lost all the advertisers. So they've got proven commercial

260
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 3: history there. Now let's go to the UK, where former

261
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 3: Labor Prime Minister Tony Blair has come out and said

262
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 3: what I've been saying.

263
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 8: For over a decade.

264
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 3: He has said that the left's unholy alliance with Islamists

265
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 3: must end. Writing in the Free Press blog, Tony Blair wrote,

266
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 3: the problem is that, under pressure.

267
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 8: From party activists and parts of the.

268
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 3: Muslim community, many progressive politicians who do sincerely reject anti

269
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 3: Semitism are not making these arguments and failing to take

270
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 3: head on this literally unholy alliance between parts of the

271
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 3: left and Islamists in our own societies whose ideology leads

272
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 3: inexlibrity to anti Semitism.

273
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 8: Colleen, as I said, I've been.

274
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 3: Writing about this for so long, and anti Semitism is

275
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 3: not the only consequence of this unholy alliance. There are

276
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 3: so many other things that are happening in Western societies.

277
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 3: What do you make of Tony Blair, of all people

278
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 3: now making that argument.

279
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 7: Well, in some ways it's not surprising because we often

280
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 7: find that people when they're in politics have a certain

281
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 7: view and then a few years later, when they're out

282
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 7: of it, they change their tune.

283
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 6: That's not an uncommon thing.

284
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 7: So I never know whether to be pleased or disappointed

285
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 7: when they do that. And his position changed quite a

286
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 7: lot after seven to seven, you know, those bombs in

287
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 7: London heat. So whether it's a position that is taken

288
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 7: in hindsight or whether it's a new insight, I don't know.

289
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 7: But it's welcome, you know. I think we have to

290
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 7: have the same hard conversations here about you know, how

291
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 7: our country is running, who's actually standing up and speaking

292
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 7: against these things? How are we actually going to get

293
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 7: our country back together on track as well as it

294
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 7: could be. So, you know, I'm not surprised when a

295
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 7: politician changes their tune after they're out of government.

296
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 8: Well, I think it carries a lot less weight.

297
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 3: It's all well and good to be brave after the event,

298
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 3: after the event, but when he had the power. It's

299
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 3: been pointed that on social media and elsewhere, well, he

300
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 3: was a part of the left unholy alliance with Islamist

301
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 3: Jonathan Wong is amongst those pointing out that Tony Blair

302
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 3: founded the first Muslim primary school that was publicly funded,

303
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 3: he gave a million pounds to Islamic studies and immam

304
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 3: training at universities in two thousand and seven, and notes

305
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 3: the Tony Blair Faith Foundation had advisors with links to

306
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 3: the Muslim Brotherhood. Ladies, we've run out of time, pro mixween, Colleen,

307
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 3: thank you so much for your time, pleasure. Health Minister

308
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 3: Mark Butler has revealed that the Albanesi government is considering

309
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 3: reducing the number of people eligible for the NDIS. Speaking

310
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 3: at an event on Monday night, Mark Butler said, our

311
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 3: research is showing Australians cherish the NDIS. They're proud of it,

312
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 3: but they think it's gotten way out of control and

313
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 3: they're determined that their governments getted back on track.

314
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 8: You can have.

315
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 3: Fewer people on the scheme, you can have relatively the

316
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 3: same number of people on the scheme with low cost growth.

317
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 8: And I think our job now.

318
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 3: Is to work through all those different permutations and assess

319
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 3: the pros and cons of each of them. Joining me

320
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 3: now to discuss this further is one man who helped

321
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 3: expose the corruption in the NDIS, activist and commentator Drew Pavlou.

322
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 3: Drew is Labor finally taking this issue seriously. The scale

323
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 3: of the waste is astonishing.

324
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 14: Thank you reader for having me on. Honestly, they are

325
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 14: not taking it seriously enough. They are talking about restricting

326
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 14: growth in the NDI is spending to about five percent

327
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 14: per ATAM. That is just simply not enough. We're talking

328
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 14: about this program on track. This program is on track

329
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 14: to basically get up to one hundred billion dollars a

330
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 14: year annual spending. Now, if you just restricted the scheme

331
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 14: to severely disabled people and made a directly government run

332
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 14: program like Medicare, if you just kicked off all the shunty,

333
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 14: the shonky sort of weird private providers who are abusing people.

334
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 14: Make it direct government program like medicare. You could save

335
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 14: twenty five billion dollars a year now over thirty years,

336
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 14: that's seven hundred and fifty billion dollars raader.

337
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 2: We could literally build high speed rail down the.

338
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 14: Entire eastern seaboard of Australia, you know, one and one

339
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 14: point five hours city to Melbourne, twenty minutes Brisbane, the

340
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 14: Gold Coast.

341
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 2: Three hundred billion dollars you could build.

342
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 14: You could build high speed rail down the entire east

343
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 14: coast of Australia.

344
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 2: You could build thirty nuclear reactors.

345
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 14: If you use South Korean designs, you can build build

346
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 14: them for about eight billion dollars a reactor. That's about

347
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 14: you know, two hundred fifty three hundred million dollars in total.

348
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 14: We could completely insulate ourselves from future global energy shocks.

349
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 14: We could build you know, one hundred and fifty metro

350
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 14: stations across all our major cities, like underground metros, like

351
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 14: like like London, New York, like Paris. We could make

352
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 14: our cities the greatest in the world. We could do

353
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 14: all of this if we just simply you know, restricted

354
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 14: the scheme to severely disabled people. Make it a government

355
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 14: run program like medicare. I mean, why are we doing

356
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 14: this to ourselves twenty five billion dollars a year. If

357
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 14: we save twenty five billion dollars a year, we could

358
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 14: do all these things, you know, build nuclear reactors to

359
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 14: make ourselves completely energy rebuild completely. We could revitalize manufacturing

360
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 14: completely in this country. You could lower the wholesale energy

361
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 14: price by seventy percent, revitalized manufacturing in this country. Everything

362
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 14: would pay for itself. You could do all these things

363
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 14: for the price of the NDAs. All the fraud in

364
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 14: the scheme, remove the fraud. Making a government run program

365
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 14: like that. You could just completely revitalize the country.

366
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 2: Put me in.

367
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 14: I've got the plans I can. We can save Australia.

368
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 3: Vote one, Drew Pavlou. That sounds like a campaign pitch there, Drew.

369
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 8: We have seen.

370
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 3: Stories in recent weeks that beggar belief, including one where

371
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 3: a man convicted of rape and sexual assault was placed

372
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 3: in NDIS funded secure accommodation in a regional Victorian town,

373
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 3: granted a one point four million dollar support package. And

374
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 3: this at a time Drew, where we've got children with

375
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,959
Speaker 3: severe issues not granted funding, including a little child that

376
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 3: you highlighted on your social media. These sorts of cases

377
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 3: are not in isolation. They are just cases like this

378
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 3: that we hear about daily. Is it going to be

379
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 3: sorted or has it got so out of control that

380
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 3: it's going to be years before we get on top

381
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 3: of this waste.

382
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 14: I think we just need to restart the NDIS again

383
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 14: as a government run model, like just like Medicare.

384
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 2: It can be just like Medicare.

385
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 14: It shouldn't have been designed, it shouldn't have been designed

386
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,239
Speaker 14: as a private market system. You're talking about the most

387
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 14: severely disabled people in Australia being asked to sort of

388
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 14: choose choose between providers in a private market setting. I

389
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 14: mean Andrew Hasty has said very very smartly that, you

390
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 14: know the future of Australia should not be you know,

391
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 14: hardcore neoliberalism. We should think about, you know, where things

392
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 14: where things require government involvement, for example, looking after the

393
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 14: most severely disabled people. Should we have a private a

394
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 14: private system where all these dodgy providers are there to

395
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 14: just abuse and defraud people on a massive scale. And listen,

396
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 14: I want the money to go towards people who are

397
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 14: civilly disabled who actually need it. If the choices between

398
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 14: giving millions of dollars toys through the NDS and building

399
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 14: high speed rail and building nuclear energy and building one

400
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 14: hundred and fifty metro station's subway stations in every major

401
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,959
Speaker 14: city in Australia, I mean, what should we choose as

402
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 14: a country giving pedophiles million dollar NDIS plans or should

403
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 14: we instead, Yeah, build up the country. Let's have nation

404
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 14: building projects, developmental economics, rebuild the nation. That's what I

405
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 14: want to do for the country instead of just allowing

406
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 14: you know, billions of dollars to be wasted on just

407
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 14: basically shoveling money in the world, I mean into a furnace.

408
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 3: I think Australians want the NDIS to help people who

409
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 3: are severely disabled because for a long time they were

410
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 3: forgotten about. It was up to their families to help them,

411
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 3: or they were put into age care facilities from a

412
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 3: young age. It was just so unfair. But people who

413
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 3: had dealt a bad hand in life. But now we've

414
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 3: got such broad numbers of people who are qualifying for

415
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 3: the NDIS and some of the services being made available.

416
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 8: Again, beggar belief.

417
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 3: Before you go you posted recently about the grim housing

418
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 3: market for young Australians, how you're being priced not out

419
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 3: of buying a house, but even being able to rent

420
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 3: in some cases. You're in Brisbane, tell my audience about

421
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 3: what you faced the soaring cost of keeping a roof

422
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,199
Speaker 3: over your head and do you see housing as a

423
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 3: real sort of sleeper issue that is boosting one nation.

424
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 3: All the focus is on one nation's immigration policy, energy policies,

425
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 3: but housing is a hugely consequential issue.

426
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 14: Yes, housing is a disaster, reader just an absolute disaster.

427
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 14: When I tried to find a rental, I would go

428
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 14: to these places, you'd be going up against two hundred

429
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 14: and three hundred people lined around the block, you know,

430
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 14: for one rental. Most of them would be international students

431
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 14: and migrants who had arrived really recently in the country.

432
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 14: So you know, as an Austransit it's born in this country,

433
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 14: I'm competing against, you know, hundreds of people who've just

434
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 14: arrived in the country to get housing. Now I live

435
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 14: in a four bedroom place with a couple of roommates.

436
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 14: It's it's nine hundred dollars a week. The same house,

437
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 14: the exact same house five years ago would have rented

438
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 14: for five hundred dollars. So that's like the rent has

439
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 14: doubled in five years because of massive pressure on the

440
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 14: housing system because of mass migration implemented by the labor government.

441
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 14: So my rent went from about five hundred to nine

442
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 14: hundred dollars a week.

443
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 2: Now, if you're looking.

444
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 14: At house prices, the house would have sold for about

445
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 14: seven hundred thousand.

446
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 2: Dollars five hundred.

447
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 14: Five years ago, the house would have sold for seven

448
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 14: hundred thousand dollars. Now it sells for about one point

449
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 14: three million. So if you put seventy thousand dollars aside

450
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 14: ten percent deposit back in twenty twenty, you'd be paying

451
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 14: about two thousand dollars a month in mortgage payments. Now

452
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 14: you'd have to save one hundred and thirty thousand dollars

453
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 14: to put a ten percent deposit down, and you'd be

454
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 14: paying about seven thousand dollars a month in mortgage payments.

455
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 14: So you know, when I was a kid, my parents

456
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 14: would always say, never rent through its dead money. You

457
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 14: should put money towards, you know, buying your own place.

458
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 14: Then then you're actually building your own your own sort

459
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 14: of net worth. But listen, like the mortgage payments on

460
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 14: this exact same house that I'm.

461
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 2: Living in would be double what I'm paying in rent.

462
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,160
Speaker 2: It doesn't it's.

463
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 3: It doesn't make sense and it's becoming out of reach

464
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 3: for so many ordinary working Australians.

465
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 8: Drew, thank you so much for your time. Tonight, still

466
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 8: to come.

467
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 3: Lefties Losing d plus the latest from the US, including

468
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 3: Donald Trump's threats to destroy the Iranian regime.

469
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 8: Kosher Gator is up next.

470
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 3: You're watching the Reader Panney Show, and it's time for

471
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 3: Lefties Losing ad.

472
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 8: Let's check in with folks in.

473
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,959
Speaker 3: Canada or Snow Mexicans as some call them, and some

474
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 3: of the lunius Canadians in the country got together recently.

475
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 3: It was a conference for the hard left New Democratic Party.

476
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 3: Now you would have all heard of the victim card.

477
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 3: These Canadians went one better and started handing out equity cards.

478
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 8: Literally.

479
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 10: There's a point of privilege on microphone one. Then we'll

480
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 10: go to microphone three. Go ahead, delegate.

481
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 11: Yes, hello, I was standing here with my gender equity

482
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 11: card before you called on the previous speaker.

483
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 2: That's my point of privilege.

484
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 6: I would like to her.

485
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 10: I will explain this speaking order, which is fixed that

486
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 10: I cannot amend, which is the pro con rotation. You

487
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 10: can move yourself up a line that you're standing on.

488
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 8: I am pro, and I was we went.

489
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 10: You went pro, you went pron pro, and my plan

490
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 10: was to go con. The speaker at Con, Mike three,

491
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 10: also has a speaking card.

492
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 13: Yesterday, this card was used in an inappropriate manner, and

493
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 13: while I understand in Ontario we know this is equity,

494
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 13: even if that this was also used inappropriate in terms

495
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 13: of gender, I want everyone to be mindful that these

496
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 13: cards for individuals like myself who identify as a black woman.

497
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 8: She identifies as a black woman, that.

498
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 3: There was a time when you didn't have to point

499
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 3: that out. It was pretty obvious. But we are talking

500
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 3: about painfully work broken Canada, where this is how adults

501
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 3: conduct themselves now.

502
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 4: Point of personal privilege. I understand there's very little time

503
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 4: and for delegates to speak, but early on the mic,

504
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 4: it's hard as a racialized and transgender delegate to sometimes

505
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 4: use this card and speak up, speak to somebody in

506
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 4: front of me in line and ask hey, this pertains

507
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 4: to multiple intersecting parts of my lived experience.

508
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 2: I'd like to speak.

509
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 4: I was rejected when I talked, and it's frustrating when

510
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 4: these are my rights being directly under attack right now

511
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:45,199
Speaker 4: in Alberta, and that assist gender woman had spoken over me,

512
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 4: and I understand her rights are important too. This pertains

513
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 4: to her too, but I don't know. I hope that

514
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 4: in the future the federal MDP will also have a

515
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 4: broader interpretation of the equity cards for speakers.

516
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 2: That's all, thank you.

517
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 10: I will invite delegates to assist me in better using

518
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 10: the card by forming a street street line behind the

519
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 10: microphone with a prominently.

520
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 8: Dispute equity code. If I see speakers ahead of you who.

521
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 10: Are not holding a code prominently, it would be wrong

522
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 10: with me to guess about their gender identity, and I

523
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 10: will come to you.

524
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 3: Ah goodness me, she said the words straight line there

525
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 3: without a trigger warning point of personal privilege. How dare

526
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 3: raise his gender woman speak. I mean, the whole thing

527
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 3: is nuts. Everything you see there is a sign of

528
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 3: civilizational decline. Let's stay in Canada, and guys, I really

529
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 3: don't think the country is okay. Let's type a look

530
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 3: at what passes for talent at the country's premiere music

531
00:27:48,800 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 3: awards show, Locus. Yeah is too sure, Yeah, Okay, that's

532
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 3: enough of that. At least Nellie Fittado seemed to be

533
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 3: liking a bless her. That was the Juno Awards to

534
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 3: honor achievements in Canadian music, and the night was hosted

535
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 3: by actress and alleged comic Martin, who's about as funny as.

536
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 8: An ingrown toe.

537
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 3: Now Here she talks about Davos, you know, the location

538
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 3: for the World Economic Forum.

539
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 8: She talks about how proud.

540
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 3: She was of her weak, lefty, soy boy prime Minister.

541
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 11: I do have to say though, that when I saw

542
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 11: Mark Curney's speech.

543
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 2: At Davos, did you see that?

544
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 8: I felt a child like prime.

545
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 11: I felt like he was Canada's dad, sticking up to

546
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 11: the bullies.

547
00:28:58,920 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 2: I was like, that's my promin.

548
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 11: And then I saw him posing with the cast of

549
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 11: heated rivalry and just.

550
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 2: My nervous my nervous system just relaxed.

551
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 8: Her nervous system relaxed. Guys.

552
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 3: Yet, Canada most definitely is not okay, And who the

553
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 3: hell is.

554
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 8: A heated rivalry?

555
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 3: Who cares now to the issue of male bodies in

556
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 3: women's sport? And one massive beneficiary of that has been

557
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 3: cast out Seminar, who was born with a difference in

558
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 3: sex development. But he has x y chromosomes, a genetic

559
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 3: male who won Olympic gold running against women. That will

560
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 3: no longer be possible under new sane rules adopted by

561
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 3: the IOC.

562
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 8: And he says, that's unfair.

563
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 15: You know the medical terms, what they tell me, or

564
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 15: my testosterone. You know, being born you know without the utrahs,

565
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 15: you know, being born with internal testa goals.

566
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 2: Those don't make me less a woman.

567
00:29:59,200 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 3: Is just the.

568
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 15: Different is that I was born with and I embraced them.

569
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 3: Dude, I'm pretty sure testes do make you a man. Now,

570
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 3: get ready to lose some brain cells because we're about

571
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 3: to hear from a Guardian writer who claims women are

572
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:16,719
Speaker 3: better than men in soccer.

573
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 16: This is actually why women's football was abolished by the

574
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 16: Football Association in the twenties, which because women were too

575
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 16: good and if you put them on the same team,

576
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 16: men got upset. And that has been the evolution of

577
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 16: male and female sports.

578
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 8: That's a said. You look very skeptical, but it's true.

579
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 3: That level of delusion, that level of ignorance, is frankly dangerous.

580
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 8: Here's a reality check.

581
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 3: High school boys teams could beat women's soccer teams, national

582
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 3: soccer teams. Remember Australia's elite national women's team losing seven

583
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 3: nil to a bunch of thirteen and fourteen year olds

584
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 3: from Newcastle. Yes, beaten seven nil the Newcastle under fifteen

585
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 3: boys team. And I'm talking about Newcastle in Australia, not

586
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 3: the UK. Now, let's go to CNN, who had delivered

587
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 3: a brutal reality check about this issue.

588
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 8: They weren't expecting this.

589
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 17: You were the face of the Olympics for so many years.

590
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 17: This news today about the IOC basically banning trans athletes,

591
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 17: that there's going to be a genetic test. Your reaction

592
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 17: to that and this very complicated issue.

593
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 15: Common sense is not transphobic. There's a reason why the

594
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 15: high school champions don't compete with the college champions. There

595
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 15: is a reason why no trans man who was once

596
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 15: a woman and has become a man has ever competed

597
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 15: successfully with men in the Olympics.

598
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 2: If Caitlin Clark could play.

599
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 15: In the NBA, everybody would applaud it.

600
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 2: That'd be an incredible thing.

601
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 15: But if the last guy on the bench of an

602
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 15: NBA team went to the WNBA and started averaging forty

603
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 15: points a game, everyone would know that that is BS.

604
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 15: It doesn't make any sense to have a swimmer who

605
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 15: was the four hundred and seventy second ranked swimmer when

606
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 15: he was a man at Penn either winning or coming

607
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 15: close to winning against women. A year and a half

608
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 15: after transitioning Bravo.

609
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 3: Sticking with CNN, who never missed an opportunity to be

610
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 3: the Democrat's unofficial propaganda arm.

611
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 8: Here the anchor here listened to.

612
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 3: A litany of lies, all of it unchallenged, but she

613
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 3: does pop up at the very end to make one correction.

614
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 18: It's a voter intimidation, voter suppression effort, and the president

615
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 18: is tying tsapay to that, which is also absurd. And also,

616
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 18: I don't want to give a penny more to TSA

617
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 18: or DHS, even if they are already funded, because what

618
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 18: I'm hearing from constituents and what I'm seeing is that

619
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 18: they're dragging women by their hair, throwing him into unmarked vance,

620
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 18: chasing people through the fields and factories where they work.

621
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 18: They've committed public executions, two of them, and co signing

622
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 18: off on this is just not who we are as Americans.

623
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 18: And there's a simple way to do this. I think

624
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 18: you point that out at the top, and the Senate

625
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 18: majority leader would be wise to take that deal.

626
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 12: I think that you may have misspoken.

627
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 13: You said, Tsa, you don't want to give another penny

628
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 13: to TSA.

629
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 18: I think that you meant I'm sorry, I thank you.

630
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 18: I meant ice.

631
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 3: Let's bring in sky News contributing out Kosha geta kosher

632
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 3: It is CNN.

633
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 8: I shouldn't be surprised, and yet I am.

634
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: She reminds me of, you know, we've all been in

635
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: school and been in the study group, and there's that

636
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: one person who has no value to add other than

637
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: just fixing grammar on the side thing, no substantive contributions.

638
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: That's what she reminded me of, She swallowell. They're all

639
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: part of the apparatus and they've got to stick to

640
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: the narrative. And they know that they're on the losing

641
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: side of the narrative for this because public opinion as

642
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: it relates to illegal immigration has completely left them and

643
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: as a business model, their ratings are circling the drain.

644
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: So they're kind of stuck between a rock and a

645
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: hard place. Or how do they let go of that

646
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: ideological loyalty that they have while doing something to turn

647
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: the business around and everything from seeing their star hosts

648
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: remake their sets like podcasts yeats, which was so funny,

649
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: to this, I don't think they've quite found the winning

650
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: formula just yet.

651
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 3: That's been fascinating in itself. To see the likes of

652
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 3: Anderson and Tappa in these trying to be Joe Roganrogan

653
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 3: and having a set that kind of looks like Joe

654
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 3: Rogan doesn't make you Joe Rogan. It's about the content stupid,

655
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,240
Speaker 3: and the content is still rubbish. Now we've spoken about

656
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 3: the tragic murder of teenager Sheridan Gorman, gunned down by

657
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 3: an illegal immigrant in the sanctuary city of Chicago, and

658
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 3: May Brandon Johnson, who has marched against ice, he was

659
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 3: asked about his own activism, his own policies leading to

660
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 3: Sheridan's murder.

661
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 19: You think this opportunity to apologize to Sheridan's parents for

662
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 19: the policies that promoted that that would directly caused her death.

663
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 19: It sounds like would not be in the city, would

664
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,879
Speaker 19: not be in the country, but for your policies. Will

665
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 19: you take this opportunity to apologele.

666
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 18: Again at that we're all grieving the loss of Sheridan

667
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 18: and other folks who have lost their lives are because

668
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 18: of since its violence.

669
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:20,280
Speaker 8: Kosher.

670
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 3: He was happy marching against.

671
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 8: Ice that was just last month.

672
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:30,720
Speaker 3: Even has made the snowplows in Chicago bear anti Ice

673
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 3: signage like it's some massive joke.

674
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:35,720
Speaker 8: Does he have some.

675
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 3: Responsibility for what happened to Sheridan Gorman?

676
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 8: He does.

677
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: I mean he is one player, maybe a two bit player,

678
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: but he is one player in the whole set of

679
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: players on the chessboard that have led to this scenario

680
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: over forty years, you know, well before his time, as

681
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: he mentioned that, but certainly including him. As we're of Chicago,

682
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: he's a chief executive of the city he controlled. He

683
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: can issue executive orders. That's one thing he can do

684
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: because he controls logistics and how different departments, including the

685
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: Chicago PD, cooperate or not in this case with ICE

686
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: and with the Feds. He very happily is continuing that policy.

687
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 1: It has been around for eighty years. They don't share information.

688
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: If they happen to incidentally catch an illegal committing a

689
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: lesser crime, they're meant to share that with ICE so

690
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 1: that you can advance deportations. They don't do any of

691
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: that on purpose. And the other way where he can

692
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: make a difference is in public influence and shaping the

693
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: narrative and talking about illegal immigration and all the rest

694
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: of it. But of course he won't do that because

695
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,399
Speaker 1: he's an apparatchick. His side has a playbook. It's been

696
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: working because they have made in power for eighty years,

697
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 1: and whenever some day this happens, he'll just dodge and

698
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: continue on.

699
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 8: His merry way.

700
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 3: Now, many in the US are not even aware of

701
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 3: this crime, the tragic senseless murder of teenagers. Share it

702
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 3: and Gorman have a look at the limited coverage this

703
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 3: crime has received on mainstream outlets like ABAC, NBC, CBS,

704
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 3: NBAC divided just twenty three seconds to the story in

705
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 3: a week.

706
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 8: And this is something Caroline.

707
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 3: Leavitt, White House Press Secretary, addressed earlier today.

708
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 11: Young beautiful American woman whose life was taken short by

709
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 11: an illegal alien who should have never been here in

710
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 11: the first place. When we are in the middle of

711
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 11: a battle on Capitol Hill with a major political party,

712
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 11: the Democrat Party, who wants to defund the agency that

713
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 11: is responsible for protecting Americans, I think her life was

714
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 11: worth more than twenty three seconds on cable television. And

715
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 11: I think the people in this room have a responsibility

716
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 11: to report on cases like this.

717
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 8: And it's what you spoke about with CNN.

718
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 3: It's this ideological position they have that determines what stories

719
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,439
Speaker 3: they how they cover them, how much they cover them.

720
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 3: I mean, this story any day of the week should

721
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 3: be leading a news service. You've got an innocent teenager

722
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 3: walking by the lake being gunned down, and then you've

723
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 3: got people counselors saying, oh, well, maybe she startle the shooter.

724
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 8: I mean, the victim blaming that went on immediately.

725
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 3: Afterwards was disgusting, and yet the media is barely covering it.

726
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: The only silver lining is the ratings for all of

727
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 1: these networks are down, and also they are consolidated with

728
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: the smaller and smaller and shrinking, drinking swap of society.

729
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: It's basically the sixty five seventy plus crowd that is

730
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 1: watching cable news in general, certainly on TV and also

731
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 1: the big broadcast network. So that's the only thing that

732
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,800
Speaker 1: while they gave no coverage twenty seconds or less, independent

733
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 1: media has covered it and continues to cover these things

734
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 1: quite a bit. They are winning bit by bit. It's

735
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: just leading to this very fragmented electorate where you've got

736
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: people in these echo chambers, and the ones who participate

737
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: in digital media and independent media know what's going on

738
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: and see these stories, and the ones who are still

739
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: only watching news on television don't. And it's almost like

740
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: there's two Americas taking place at the same time, two

741
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: movies on one screen.

742
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 3: Now, let's talk about the conflict in Iran and overnight prisident.

743
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 3: Trump made all sorts of threats to the Iranian regime,

744
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 3: including destroying Iran's energy plants and oil wells if it

745
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 3: does not reopen the strait of mouse.

746
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,240
Speaker 8: Tell me about the choices the US is facing.

747
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 3: That kosher because the Uranian regime seems to have a

748
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 3: death wish. They are being absolutely decimated, but they're continuing.

749
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 8: They're refusing to do a deal.

750
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 3: Is the US going to have to seriously consider ground

751
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 3: troops or is that just such an palatable idea domestically

752
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,479
Speaker 3: that they're going to have to come to some sort

753
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 3: of a deal to exit this conflict.

754
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:35,760
Speaker 2: That is the question.

755
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: I think the answer is kind of both. They hate

756
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: to see it because it is very unpalatable domestically, everybody

757
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: fears that you're just going down or up that escalatory ladder,

758
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: getting sucked into quagmar. It's just even more unpalatable given

759
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: that it is the Trump administration which campaigned against doing that.

760
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: But the more they're in this and Iran has showed

761
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: that they are a clever adversary and they know what

762
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: their cards are. They know they control the straight up

763
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,760
Speaker 1: or moves at how important that is for global energy

764
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 1: markets and everything else, and they are really playing that

765
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: card to the hill. So we're sort of in this

766
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 1: very tough position. If you just look at the deployments

767
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: that are happening, it looks as though dare I say,

768
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: boots on the ground is certainly becoming a more and

769
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: more real possibility. But then Trump is always giving mixed messages.

770
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,439
Speaker 1: So even this statement that you read that he gave,

771
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: he sort of ended in a different way from where

772
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: he began. So he's keeping everybody guest saying we don't know. Ultimately,

773
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: there's three options either taken off ramp, claim victory for

774
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,720
Speaker 1: whatever has been achieved so far, or stay and keep

775
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: trying to do a deal, which is kind of his

776
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: tends to always be his comfort zone or you're going

777
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 1: down at exculatory ladder, and then we just don't know

778
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: what happens from there. Is it three thousand troops, is

779
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: it one hundred thousand troops, is it three weeks, is

780
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 1: it three months? Nobody knows, and it's a whole new.

781
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 8: So the goalpost keeps shifting as well.

782
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:57,720
Speaker 3: Initially, the death of the Ietola that was a huge coup.

783
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 8: That was you could say, we've achieved what.

784
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 3: We wanted to achieve and we've eliminated their nuclear capacity.

785
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 8: That was the primary reason.

786
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 3: To start this conflict against the Iranian regime. But now

787
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 3: the goal seemed to have shifted. Now, unless there is

788
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 3: regime change, then there's a viewpoint that well, mission unaccomplished.

789
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: It hasn't helped. So it started with we don't want

790
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,959
Speaker 1: them to get nukes, But then the word President Trump

791
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: used after Operation of Midnight Hammer a year ago was

792
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 1: they've been obliterated. That was the word that he used.

793
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: So then everybody's like, well, then why did we have

794
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: to go back in. Then it shifted to well, we

795
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: don't want them to enrich, which is kind of what

796
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: they're talking about now. At some point it was Diatola

797
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: and taking out the regime. Then it was We're going

798
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: to sink the navy and destroy their air capacity, which

799
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: has happened. At some point, it was humanitarians. So it

800
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: really has been all over the board. And it's very

801
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: unusual for Trump, who is very savvy with media and

802
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 1: messaging and knowing what the electric wants. So I have

803
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: to think that there's some method to the madness. But he,

804
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: I mean, his Paul and members are really really taking

805
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: a hit, and he is losing confidence from a lot

806
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: of people in his broader coalition. Not the diehard nigaphuns,

807
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: but the broader coalition is very nervous.

808
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 3: Absolutely amongst independents who he won enormously at the presidential election,

809
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 3: he's underwater and come the midterms, he needs those voters

810
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 3: otherwise it's going to be a bit of an electoral bloodbath.

811
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,720
Speaker 8: Koshagator, thank you so much for your time. Thanks still

812
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 8: to come.

813
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 3: Alex Stein will share the fun he had at a

814
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 3: pro trans rally over the weekend. He's coming up next,

815
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 3: Welcome back.

816
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 8: Well.

817
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 3: Over the weekend, the city of Dallas took part in

818
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 3: a trans Day of Visibility protest and friend of the

819
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 3: show Alex Stein ventured down and got quite a surprise

820
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 3: when he met some of the protesters'.

821
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 12: Joyman's dress room.

822
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 18: That was weird as hell.

823
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 8: That was weird as hell.

824
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,240
Speaker 12: I just got sexy assaulted by transgender.

825
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 3: Joining me now is the host of After Hours with

826
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 3: Alex Stein on Real America's Voice.

827
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,760
Speaker 8: Alex, Now, I don't want to be accused.

828
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 3: Of victim blaming here, but you were out there just

829
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 3: agitating these people, and many of them are already unbalanced

830
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 3: before you join in the mix.

831
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 12: Well, Rita, you know me very well. You know how

832
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 12: unbalanced I am. So I mean, what am I going

833
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 12: to do about it? And let's be real that that

834
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,760
Speaker 12: person that kissed me, Luckily they were a biological female,

835
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 12: so nothing too crazy happened. I know that they're LARPing

836
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 12: as a boy, but I could tell that they were

837
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 12: just a female just by the way that their body

838
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 12: was shaped in the hips. So you know, I'm prior time,

839
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 12: Alex Stein. They never see an ultimate gig at Chad

840
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 12: like myself at these events, so you saw these soy boys,

841
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 12: So I'm not surprised that she was attracted to me

842
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 12: and came up and kissed me.

843
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 3: Save her yet, Alex just get out of these marches

844
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,879
Speaker 3: a bit more, and you may save some of these

845
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 3: lost girls. Now, we saw over the weekend these mass

846
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 3: rallies across America.

847
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 8: They're no King's rallies to protest against Donald Trump. Haven't

848
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 8: looked here.

849
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 3: As a reporter for Bravard is assaulted and then threatened

850
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:21,760
Speaker 3: by protester.

851
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 8: Who was that about? You just touched me?

852
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 3: No, you're touching me, Alex. What did you make of

853
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 3: those protests? Did you get amongst them? Did you try

854
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 3: to change some hearts and minds?

855
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 12: Well, Reda, There wasn't a lot of dialogue at the

856
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 12: protest that I went to, but I did notice the

857
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 12: shocking trend. A lot of the violence was not from

858
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 12: young people. It was from basically, I would say, the

859
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 12: boomer class, the really elderly. I mean a woman came

860
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 12: up to me and hit my found in a similar

861
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 12: fashion like that, and she was a woman probably in

862
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 12: her seventies. So I thought that was very unusual that

863
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 12: these people that really didn't have a clear agenda on

864
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 12: what they were protesting for. We considering we don't have

865
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 12: kings here in America, I was really surprised that they

866
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 12: were the ones making violent Usually that's somebody that's young

867
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,240
Speaker 12: and not somebody that you know was in their sixties

868
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 12: or seventies.

869
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:25,800
Speaker 3: Now, former reality star turned La Met candidate Spencer Pratt

870
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 3: has released a campaign video that has got people talking.

871
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 3: Let's have a look at a bit of it.

872
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 2: Are you encoded with the trip? We off the map?

873
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 12: Father Hills brought by.

874
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 2: She was pumping from.

875
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 8: A broad Paly said, though out the nane smoking the sky.

876
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 3: We were coming in like you think she was saying

877
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:49,760
Speaker 3: bye bye.

878
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 2: Look what you left on a.

879
00:45:52,520 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 8: La looking like a closet where the junkins are. Latino

880
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 8: is for Pratt. I'm gonna say it's got a bit

881
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 8: of a vibe to us.

882
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 3: Spencer Pratt thinks he can dethrow in the current LI

883
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 3: Met Karen Bass.

884
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 8: Is he dreaming Alex Or is he a genuine chance?

885
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 12: Well, you know they've given Spencer a lot of problems.

886
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 12: I believe in the latest debate they didn't let him,

887
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 12: you know, have a chance to actually debate anybody. But

888
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 12: let me tell you something, i am the biggest the

889
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 12: Hills and Laguna Beach fan. I'm a huge reality TV

890
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 12: you know officionado and Spencer Pratt is fearless he's bold,

891
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 12: and you have a stay like California and a city

892
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 12: like La that has been mismanaged so poorly that honestly,

893
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 12: a reality TV show star couldn't do any worse than

894
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 12: his predecessors. I mean, and at this point, La is

895
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 12: a town about glicten glamour. Why not put a guy

896
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 12: like Sitcher Pridden in charge you? At least he's gonna

897
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 12: put water in the fire hydrants because he, you know,

898
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 12: had his house burned down. So that's the best way

899
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 12: you learned from something is when something bad happens to you.

900
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 12: And I think he paid the pride. So I think

901
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 12: that he would be the great mayor, and if I

902
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 12: could vote for him, I would, But I am going

903
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 12: to get a bunch of illegals to vote for him,

904
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 12: so hopefully that is what it takes to put him

905
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 12: over at the top.

906
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 3: Are there any sane people left in California though, or La?

907
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 3: Because the exodus has been quite enormous in recent years.

908
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 3: The same people have been moving to states like Texas

909
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 3: where you are Tennessee Florida. They've been getting your way

910
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 3: from the crime and those exorbitant taxes. When only the

911
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,439
Speaker 3: crazies are left you're probably going to get another term

912
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 3: for Karen Bass, aren't you.

913
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 12: Well, I hope not. I mean, Karen Bass is such

914
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:44,919
Speaker 12: a horrible mayor. I mean, I know that's she stated

915
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 12: the obvious, But when it comes to what happened with

916
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 12: the fires, that could have been at least maybe not prevented,

917
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 12: but they could have been slowed down tremendously, and they

918
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 12: only have water in the reservoirs. So I don't know

919
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 12: how a person could do much worse unless she's purposely

920
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 12: trying to do bad, unless she's purposely trying to tank

921
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 12: the real estate prices. So there are a few bid

922
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 12: people left in California, which you're exactly right. Most of

923
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,400
Speaker 12: them moved to Florida and Texas because they can't afford

924
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,879
Speaker 12: to live there, even if you're a successful individual, because

925
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 12: the government taxes you so much. And then what do

926
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 12: they see their tax dollars go to, Not to clean

927
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 12: up the homeless, not for health care, not for any

928
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 12: social issues they care about. It's literally wasted away for

929
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 12: absolutely no benefit whatsoever for the taxpayer.

930
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 3: Now, before you go sticking with California, the current governor there,

931
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom, is considered a front runner to be the

932
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 3: Democrats presidential candidate next time around. Can you see that happening.

933
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 3: He's got a lot going for him. He's good looking,

934
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 3: he's got a little bit of charm and charisma. You

935
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:51,280
Speaker 3: can't manufacture that, and he's going to get a golden

936
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:52,760
Speaker 3: run from the media.

937
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:54,280
Speaker 8: Alex, that's going to be helpful.

938
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 12: No, you're exactly right. But if you just look at

939
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 12: Gavin Newsm's for resume when he was mayor, he slept

940
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:02,720
Speaker 12: with his chief of staff's wife. I mean, the guy's

941
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 12: a total creed for pervert. But the fact that he's

942
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 12: been able to continually win in California new shows that

943
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 12: he could definitely win all the other liberal states. So

944
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 12: I'm very worried, and I do think that he is

945
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:17,919
Speaker 12: going to be somebody that definitely gives the next conservative

946
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 12: candidate a big push. I mean, it's going to be

947
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:23,280
Speaker 12: a tough battle, whether it's JD. Vans or Marco Rubio.

948
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 12: So we shouldn't underestimate the power of Gavin Newsom. Like

949
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 12: you said, he's got the look and he's got the

950
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 12: talking down. I mean, he has all the attributes that

951
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 12: you need to win an election. So I don't think

952
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 12: he'll win, but he's going to put him a fight.

953
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 3: Alex Stein, thank you so much for your time tonight,

954
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 3: and that's all the time we have.

955
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 8: News Night is up next
