Speaker 1: From the Skying Center. This is Paul Murray Live. Can
Speaker 1: I get even lots to talk about tonight.
Speaker 2: Let's do our best with the sixty minutes that we've
Speaker 2: got to tell you about the other twenty three hours today,
Speaker 2: We'll do our best.
Speaker 1: There's lots around. Thank you so much for watching. Now
Speaker 1: I'll let you in a little secret. We are getting
Speaker 1: towards the end of the year.
Speaker 2: Sure we don't flip stumps like some radio stations did
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago, or most over at Taxpayer
Speaker 2: Television will know this week we'll push a little closer
Speaker 2: to Christmas. But we are starting to look at doing
Speaker 2: some stuff. That's looking back at the year of which
Speaker 2: we have all been living. It's not a surprise. It's
Speaker 2: that time of the year, right, the best of this
Speaker 2: and the worst of that, and the winner here and
Speaker 2: the loser and all the rest of it. But I
Speaker 2: wanted to and part of that is that I've gone
Speaker 2: back and.
Speaker 1: Had a look at some of the things that happened
Speaker 1: this year.
Speaker 2: Remembering January of this year, the Prime Minister, after a
Speaker 2: crappy set of numbers in twenty twenty three, particularly after
Speaker 2: the voice Oh here he was, he was ready for
Speaker 2: what was referred to at the time as a reset,
Speaker 2: because you see he was ready to press the reset button.
Speaker 2: Everything was going to get better this year. Well, how
Speaker 2: is everything looking at the end of the year for
Speaker 2: the Prime minister?
Speaker 1: How did that reset work?
Speaker 2: Well, if you like looking like I do at the bookies,
Speaker 2: because they were right about the American election when the
Speaker 2: polls were very wrong about the American election. Tonight, the
Speaker 2: Coalition favorites to be the next government after the next election,
Speaker 2: most likely a minority, but.
Speaker 1: Still that is what is the suggestion of the bookies.
Speaker 2: Right now, Poles are either fifty to fifty or ever
Speaker 2: so slightly leaning.
Speaker 1: The Coalition's way.
Speaker 2: And today Peter Dutton was out and about talking with
Speaker 2: Candadaate so he thinks will be able to take on
Speaker 2: the Teals. Remember the single biggest hurdle for the opposition
Speaker 2: to get over before they can get into the minority
Speaker 2: government game litt alone a majority government game is of
Speaker 2: course the Teals. I'll explain part of what happened with
Speaker 2: Peter Dutton today on the northern beaches of Sydney, but
Speaker 2: there was another piece of information buried in the backbits
Speaker 2: of the Turnbull Times.
Speaker 1: Well, it shows that.
Speaker 2: This government is starting to get into Morrison government territory.
Speaker 1: And of course that.
Speaker 2: Was a government that was onto its third prime minister
Speaker 2: going for its fourth term. This is the bloke who
Speaker 2: of course defeated that government. Yet many of the.
Speaker 1: Parallels between a government that is about to go and
Speaker 1: the one that currently does.
Speaker 2: Has been noted that just thirty eight percent of Australian
Speaker 2: voters have confidence in the federal government. This is pretty
Speaker 2: close to where Morrison was when he was voted out
Speaker 2: of office with the government in May twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2: The study has also got deeper concerning issues for the
Speaker 2: Albanesi government. Seventeen point four percent of respondent said they
Speaker 2: had no confidence at.
Speaker 1: All in the federal government.
Speaker 2: For four point eight says not very much, so the
Speaker 2: extreme bulk.
Speaker 1: Doesn't have much confidence.
Speaker 2: You put it together with those that have none, you
Speaker 2: have a clear majority of people who don't have confidence
Speaker 2: in the current mob. And this is the last round
Speaker 2: of polling on this subject going into the next federal election.
Speaker 2: Thirty two percent say quite a lot, but that's basically
Speaker 2: their primary vote, and just five percent say they have
Speaker 2: a great deal of confidence because presumably the pastors kept
Speaker 2: ringing Kiribilly House.
Speaker 1: Trust in the federal government is also eroded.
Speaker 2: The proportion of total population saying they don't trust the
Speaker 2: federal government has gone from forty in a bit at
Speaker 2: the previous election, a change election, to forty eight point
Speaker 2: one percent as a government is going for its second term. Now,
Speaker 2: if there was not the tal question, we would very
Speaker 2: much be talking about the likelihood of a government being tipped.
Speaker 2: We have to see some data, we have to see
Speaker 2: what's happening. But the book you seem to have a
Speaker 2: clearer vision than maybe the posters and certainly many people
Speaker 2: who talk professionally about politics. And we all know why
Speaker 2: this is the case. Apart from all of the many
Speaker 2: frustrating things about this government, its central purpose for being
Speaker 2: was the promise that I have shown you every second
Speaker 2: night for the past three years, the promise that if
Speaker 2: you voted for the Labor Party then cost of living
Speaker 2: would get better. I keep showing you this because they
Speaker 2: want to hide this. They want to hide that this
Speaker 2: was their central promise, yet they have not been able
Speaker 2: to deliver on it. Today in the Australian newspaper we
Speaker 2: made a quick reference to this in conversation last.
Speaker 1: Night, but I want to take the time here.
Speaker 2: They publish a thing called the Nationwide Voter Research and
Speaker 2: it showed the number one issue thirty three percent, is
Speaker 2: still cost of living. We are going into our third
Speaker 2: hed Christmas in a row under this cloud of cost
Speaker 2: of living. I have shown you multiple times that under
Speaker 2: this government a million people have come to the country
Speaker 2: of iroent migration, yet barely barely enough houses are being
Speaker 2: built or approved to be built to even deal with
Speaker 2: maybe maybe a third of it. Thirty nine percent of
Speaker 2: people in this survey said that they struggled to pay
Speaker 2: their rent or their mortgage. That'd be because, of course,
Speaker 2: under this government that was going to bring down the
Speaker 2: cost of living, interest rates have gone up twelve times
Speaker 2: when it was one under the previous government, the sky
Speaker 2: was falling on was a full blown cost of living crisis.
Speaker 1: Well, what do you say when it's twelve.
Speaker 2: Thirty six percent have gone without essentials like food, medicine,
Speaker 2: or education. Put simply, any government in any other time
Speaker 2: with numbers like this is a debt duck with an
Speaker 2: almost certain bleak future in front of it. But because
Speaker 2: there are a group of people in a group of seats.
Speaker 2: We are not looking at that as the seemingly inevitable outcome.
Speaker 2: Now again, if there is a surprise result next year,
Speaker 2: there is no surprise. The government promised to make life better.
Speaker 2: It has got worse. The government turns around and says, well,
Speaker 2: it would be even worse if we.
Speaker 1: Weren't in charge. This was the garbage from Grimjim today.
Speaker 3: Now Australians would be much worse off, and growth in
Speaker 3: our economy would be even weaker without our responsible and
Speaker 3: balanced approach to the budget and without our cost of
Speaker 3: living support.
Speaker 1: But guess what we are worse off.
Speaker 2: I know you've heard this a bit tonight, but can
Speaker 2: I give you some of the info maybe you haven't
Speaker 2: heard thus far. Here the story today about economic growth
Speaker 2: was there basically isn't any put Simply, if the Australian
Speaker 2: economy was a car, it's out of tune and it's
Speaker 2: idling at best, slightly moving forward, like when you don't
Speaker 2: have your foot on the break because it's not in
Speaker 2: tune properly. Or I'll let professional TV people tell you
Speaker 2: their version.
Speaker 4: It grew by just a fraction in the past quarter,
Speaker 4: the weakest figures in thirty years outside COVID.
Speaker 5: National Accounts data revealing a bleak reality, the economy crawling.
Speaker 5: The economy has slowed to a crawl with the latest
Speaker 5: GDP figures out today.
Speaker 2: Oh the enthusiasm with which they have to bring bad
Speaker 2: news to people now. Of course, just in case you
Speaker 2: think it's me trying to find a political way through
Speaker 2: to twist the numbers and push this in that which
Speaker 2: I don't do. I just give you the data, bricks
Speaker 2: and mortar, and the mortar is the opinion. The bricks
Speaker 2: is always the data. Here's some of the other reviews
Speaker 2: about just how bad today is. GDP growth surprisingly weak,
Speaker 2: despite the government spending more money than any government ever before.
Speaker 2: Sad economy without hope, deepest hit to living standards on record.
Speaker 1: Oh but weren't they going to make everything better?
Speaker 2: Their fundamental promise is broken and they made it worse,
Speaker 2: even taxpayer media. Australia's economy growing at the slowest pace
Speaker 2: in decades, propped up by government spending, something that the
Speaker 2: government today was said was a Liberal Party talking point. No,
Speaker 2: it's the facts. In the Daily Mail, the brutal reality
Speaker 2: of life under Anthony Albernezi as economy grows at weakest
Speaker 2: payace in more than three decades. John keyah excellently writes,
Speaker 2: there's no amount of lipstick on this pig that can
Speaker 2: hide economic stagnation.
Speaker 1: To give you again, more detail, more.
Speaker 2: Information for you when you end up having to fight
Speaker 2: with what seemingly seems to be a smaller number of
Speaker 2: people who think, Oh, everything's great, everything's fine, everything's cool.
Speaker 2: The economy grew zero point three that's it.
Speaker 1: I don't know how that looked in reverse.
Speaker 2: It made sense to me zero point three percent in
Speaker 2: the past three months. To give you an idea, since
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, this is what the Australian economy looks like.
Speaker 2: Oh but it's all COVID, isn't it, Paul. Now, we
Speaker 2: shot back after COVID and then we changed the government
Speaker 2: and it's got worse ever since. Oh but that's a
Speaker 2: soft landing. What the soft landing of economic growth to zero?
Speaker 2: That's what's happening right now. But the real story inside
Speaker 2: all of this is what you are living. What the
Speaker 2: opinion polls show us. But what this program and I
Speaker 2: have been relentlessly focused on because I knew this would
Speaker 2: be the outcome of this government. I didn't give them
Speaker 2: a second chance or even a first chance. You knew
Speaker 2: what was coming with this mob. You knew the a
Speaker 2: mus that they made that millions of people fell for
Speaker 2: was a lie.
Speaker 1: It was a lie on power prices, It was a
Speaker 1: lie on cost of living.
Speaker 2: Because you see, while the press release today says that
Speaker 2: Australia is not in a recession, the reality is that
Speaker 2: per capita, Australia is in a recession and has been
Speaker 2: now for seven quarters in a row. To give you
Speaker 2: an idea of how this has worked, it started in
Speaker 2: the June quarter of twenty twenty three zero point two
Speaker 2: minus minus zero point three, minus zero point four, minus
Speaker 2: zero point five minus zero point three put it all together,
Speaker 2: in the past twelve months, the per capita recession is
Speaker 2: minus one and a half percent. Now, the overall economy
Speaker 2: that the government is going to give itself marks on
Speaker 2: is one that essentially on the exists in the federal budget.
Speaker 2: In terms of the people who actually pay for the
Speaker 2: federal budget being the companies who pay their company tax.
Speaker 2: There's great difficulties out there from a small business trying
Speaker 2: to pay its power bills to paying its wages or
Speaker 2: to the customers of those businesses. The citizens who are
Speaker 2: paying a higher percentage of tax than ever before in
Speaker 2: Australia for services that we know do not increase with
Speaker 2: the amount of tax take that they have in Canberra.
Speaker 2: In fact, we know that unless there was the seemingly
Speaker 2: lucky moment when it came to iron ore and other
Speaker 2: mining taxes, the government would be deeply in deficit.
Speaker 1: Because the plan is, and the Treasury said it themselves.
Speaker 2: And I've said it plenty that you can say it
Speaker 2: back with me, there is a structural deficit in the
Speaker 2: Australian budget. That means we are going to be in
Speaker 2: deficit until the twenty sixties, when forty one million people
Speaker 2: will apparently live in Australia.
Speaker 1: But even when we.
Speaker 2: Get close to include increasing our population by such a margin,
Speaker 2: creating all those workers, all of those customers, the government
Speaker 2: will be wildly spending too much money because they don't
Speaker 2: even with that amount of extra people have the income
Speaker 2: to cover it. But the per capita recession simply means
Speaker 2: that when two quarters in a row, and now it's
Speaker 2: been seven, when the value of your dollar goes down,
Speaker 2: the capacity for you to buy things goes down, and
Speaker 2: the amount of dollars that you spend also goes down
Speaker 2: in terms of the effectiveness of that dollar, a point
Speaker 2: Peter Dutton made today.
Speaker 6: The government can sugarcoat all they want, but the fact is,
Speaker 6: as the Reserve Bank governor keeps pointing out, it's the
Speaker 6: government's reckless spending that drives up inflation and therefore keeps
Speaker 6: interest rates.
Speaker 1: Higher for longer.
Speaker 2: But again, if you ask Jim Chalmers, everything is.
Speaker 1: Well. Sorry, that's what he was thinking. This is what he.
Speaker 3: Said, rather avoid a hard landing than clean up after one.
Speaker 3: And we're seeing elements of a soft landing here and
Speaker 3: that gives us encouragement that acknowledging people are still doing
Speaker 3: it tough and growth is still weak in the economy.
Speaker 3: If we'd made the sorts of decisions urged on us
Speaker 3: by our opponents and our critics, growth would be weaker
Speaker 3: and people would be getting less help and they'd be
Speaker 3: worse off.
Speaker 2: See this, this isn't even like a shell game, you know,
Speaker 2: they put a p under the thing and work out
Speaker 2: which one is.
Speaker 1: It's not even a three card Monte trick. It's just bs.
Speaker 2: The citizens of this country have been in a recession
Speaker 2: for seven quarters in a row. The Australian economy technically
Speaker 2: isn't in a recession because point one point two point
Speaker 2: three point four point two point one oath, which only
Speaker 2: exists because the federal government is hiring thirty thousand new
Speaker 2: public servants, giving a pay rise to all public servants,
Speaker 2: exemplified by the politicians getting not one to three pay
Speaker 2: rises since the last election. Other private sector pay rises
Speaker 2: are being supplemented by the taxpayer baking that money.
Speaker 1: Into the budget.
Speaker 2: Hence why it goes into deficit for the next forty years.
Speaker 1: We effectively are.
Speaker 2: In a recession of But the soft landing that he
Speaker 2: talks about here is this idea that effectively, despite the
Speaker 2: fact that the citizenry and the household, regardless of what
Speaker 2: they own and where they live, is going backwards, because
Speaker 2: we can put out the press release saying that we're
Speaker 2: still sputtering forward.
Speaker 1: Then that's the soft landing.
Speaker 2: It's a soft landing for treasury, it's a soft landing
Speaker 2: for the politicians.
Speaker 1: But for normal people, their.
Speaker 2: Back is right up against the world and they are
Speaker 2: on the wall and they are in a world of trouble.
Speaker 2: And this is part of the problem for the Reserve Bank.
Speaker 2: You see, despite the fact that the citizenry is in recession,
Speaker 2: but the press releases are not in recession. They won't
Speaker 2: cut interest rates. Now that's not me saying I want
Speaker 2: us to be in a recession. It's just saying we
Speaker 2: are in a recession. But they won't. They think there's
Speaker 2: enough growth there, there's enough real inflation there. Not the
Speaker 2: bs that gets covered up by twenty five dollars a
Speaker 2: month to everyone who lives from a mansion to a
Speaker 2: one bedroom unit in Charters toowers. And I'm not picking
Speaker 2: on Charter's towers. I'd move there tomorrow. I love the joint,
Speaker 2: especially the driving. Say gooday to the gang for me
Speaker 2: next time you go there. Good double features on Friday
Speaker 2: and Sunday night, Good low prices under ten bucks to
Speaker 2: good people.
Speaker 1: But the reality is is that the government is trying
Speaker 1: to fiddle the books.
Speaker 2: They try to fiddle the books to make it look
Speaker 2: like they are delivering on promises when you know that
Speaker 2: they are not. The central promise, of course, that everything
Speaker 2: would get better, but it's.
Speaker 1: Not going to.
Speaker 2: Eventually, but it hasn't in the period of time that
Speaker 2: the people who applied for the job said the reason
Speaker 2: to give them the job was because it was going
Speaker 2: to get better in their first tranch of being in
Speaker 2: the job. We'll discuss whether the Reserve Bank will do
Speaker 2: something different this month than they have for the many
Speaker 2: months before. Because while the government plays all of these games,
Speaker 2: the reality is that there's a people that are in
Speaker 2: a world of pain otherwise known as us.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: Also when it comes to some of the politics heading
Speaker 2: into this next election, and tonight again I'm going to
Speaker 2: talk a little bit about the how the Liberal Party
Speaker 2: is trying to put together a strategy to get the Teals,
Speaker 2: what the limits to some of that is, and some
Speaker 2: of the candidates that are now going to be the
Speaker 2: ones they're going to be taking them on. Bromwin Bishop
Speaker 2: very close to some of those one of her old
Speaker 2: seed of course liberal for ages went Teal. She's going
Speaker 2: to be part of the effort to try to win
Speaker 2: it back. But we'll get to that in a second.
Speaker 2: Of course, the Poles keep telling that when it comes
Speaker 2: to the Prime Minister and the alternative Prime Minister, that
Speaker 2: things are.
Speaker 1: Relatively razor thin.
Speaker 2: In fact, the latest newspol says that things are as
Speaker 2: I mentioned before, fifty to fifty, a former Labor senator
Speaker 2: says that both sides have a chance of forming a
Speaker 2: minority government. And again today Peter Dudden was on the
Speaker 2: northern beaches of Sydney where he unveiled two candidates who
Speaker 2: he thinks will be able to knock off at least one,
Speaker 2: maybe two of the Teals.
Speaker 1: In fact, this is what he said in James and Jamie.
Speaker 6: We have two exceptional candidates who I think will do
Speaker 6: a great job for the local community.
Speaker 1: And if we win these seats back, we win.
Speaker 6: Government and we can stop the Albanisi government from destroying
Speaker 6: the livelihoods of many Australians.
Speaker 1: We can get our country back on track.
Speaker 2: But if there is a minority government that is built
Speaker 2: of the left, it won't just be lefty Teals. It
Speaker 2: will of course be the Greens who think that they
Speaker 2: will be in the driver's seat when it comes to
Speaker 2: deciding what will happen in the next parliament.
Speaker 1: Hopefully not, but still.
Speaker 2: Adam Band was out and about in the past couple
Speaker 2: of days basically saying that he would like to share
Speaker 2: power if he helps prop up a Labor government.
Speaker 1: Now Labor, of course will say no, I will do
Speaker 1: no formal deals. There will be no formal ministries.
Speaker 2: But if you can't pass a single law in the
Speaker 2: Lower House or the Upper House, then guests who ends
Speaker 2: up having the power and by default they end up
Speaker 2: being the ones to decide if the government can achieve
Speaker 2: anything in the next parliament. Well, here's Adam Band talking
Speaker 2: himself up in the past couple of days about what
Speaker 2: his prospects are post a minority government.
Speaker 1: As we go to the next election.
Speaker 7: The Greens position will be keep Peter Dutton out and
Speaker 7: push the next government to act on things like health
Speaker 7: and housing and climate and environmental.
Speaker 1: Watch this space. They are not hiding. They are in
Speaker 1: plane sight.
Speaker 2: They think that they can take a couple of seats
Speaker 2: off the Labor Party. The Labor Party spending billions of
Speaker 2: dollars trying to stop that from happening, or maybe win
Speaker 2: one back because they know they're going to lose seats
Speaker 2: in Western Australia because they didn't expect to win that many.
Speaker 2: Maybe one in Tasmania because they're in a world of
Speaker 2: trouble there. Don't get me started on Queensland and constantly
Speaker 2: knocking back projects in the Northern territory, as well as
Speaker 2: having the old spend more time at the tennis than
Speaker 2: actually going to Alice Springs and talking about the problems there.
Speaker 2: People remember, they don't forget there's a good chance that
Speaker 2: they will of course get to that minority based off
Speaker 2: all of those scenarios, and God to help us all
Speaker 2: if the Greens end up in the driver's seat or
Speaker 2: being the tail that wags the elbow dog. In state politics,
Speaker 2: the Cruciofoily government in Queensland is now in full swing.
Speaker 2: Parliament has been sworn in and the first pieces of
Speaker 2: legislation are making its way through.
Speaker 1: I hate this.
Speaker 2: Tradition of all the speaker doesn't want to be the
Speaker 2: speaker despite the fact that they really want to be
Speaker 2: a speaker. They get extra money all the rest of it,
Speaker 2: so they get dragged to the seat.
Speaker 1: But still whatever.
Speaker 2: Anyway, David Krustofoley has delivered on the promise that he
Speaker 2: made all the way through the election and the lead
Speaker 2: up to it, which was it is time to get
Speaker 2: serious about youth crime. And that means if you are
Speaker 2: somebody under the age of eighteen who commits a crime
Speaker 2: that somebody over the age of eighteen would commit, you're
Speaker 2: going to jail for just as long.
Speaker 4: Just to be clear, we campaigned on adult crime, adult
Speaker 4: time we campaign that it'd be laws by Christmas.
Speaker 1: We will fulfill that now.
Speaker 2: It would be impossible for even the most labor loyal
Speaker 2: spinners in the media in Queensland to say that this
Speaker 2: government does not just have a majority, but they have
Speaker 2: a mandate to deal with youth crime front and center
Speaker 2: everywhere we've gone in Queensland. It is the a one issue.
Speaker 2: But there are some people who just don't like democracy.
Speaker 2: You'd have to think that because despite the fact they
Speaker 2: knew these laws were not just proposed but endorsed by
Speaker 2: the people of Queensland, giving a government a majority to
Speaker 2: be able to pass them in the Parliament unencumbered, they're
Speaker 2: all out and about trying to tear the laws down
Speaker 2: before they even make it to being gazetted by the Governor.
Speaker 3: Sus just another slick forward slogan from David Crisafurli. Human
Speaker 3: rights and yet advocacy groups say the policy will do
Speaker 3: more harm.
Speaker 1: Than good strategy at odds with international studies. According to experts.
Speaker 8: The threat of increased penalties doesn't work with young people
Speaker 8: because they're not thinking about the penalties of their behavior.
Speaker 2: But the test of a politician is whether they are
Speaker 2: willing to back their own idea, but also call out
Speaker 2: the many people who fill the media with their views
Speaker 2: about why the government is doing the wrong thing. Now again,
Speaker 2: this government is not a year old, it's not two
Speaker 2: years old. We'll wait and see whether the lefty judges
Speaker 2: get the message or whether it's all just about talking
Speaker 2: about maximums and you need to start doing things about minimums.
Speaker 2: But just like Lea Fanukiaro, the Northern Territory Chief Minister,
Speaker 2: when she was confronted with a collection of protesters who
Speaker 2: didn't want the many jobs that come with gas projects
Speaker 2: in the Northern Territory, she said, can you just buger
Speaker 2: off back to Melbourne because we know the people of
Speaker 2: the territory didn't just vote for it. They gave us
Speaker 2: some majority and they want these particular projects. David Crucifoilie
Speaker 2: has a message for those who want to ignore what
Speaker 2: the Queensland people voted for, just.
Speaker 1: On some of those commentary.
Speaker 4: In many cases it's the same people who led to
Speaker 4: the same situation for the last decade. We are a
Speaker 4: different government and we are taking a different approach that
Speaker 4: puts victims first across the spectrum. And I think if
Speaker 4: you reflect whilst there will be different views on some elements. There,
Speaker 4: there's also been some strong views of support about our
Speaker 4: desire for early intervention.
Speaker 2: Now to the future of the country, education, a subject
Speaker 2: that again committed to talking about all the time. I
Speaker 2: don't know why use the Royal Wi. You just don't
Speaker 2: want to say I met me, me, me, me a
Speaker 2: hundred times, but.
Speaker 1: You get the point. I talk about it a lot, not.
Speaker 2: Just because my kids are involved with it, but because
Speaker 2: it is the future of the country. And you may
Speaker 2: all have seen a collection of stories today around the
Speaker 2: nap Land tests, the ones that have checked in multiple
Speaker 2: years about reading, writing, spelling, grammar and.
Speaker 1: Mats.
Speaker 2: You may have seen things like you know the best
Speaker 2: results and where to and go onto this website and
Speaker 2: find out how your local school did. And that's great
Speaker 2: because today they broke down all of those results by schools.
Speaker 1: But there's one thing we have to remember.
Speaker 2: Yes, some schools are doing okay, and some public schools
Speaker 2: are doing better than some private schools, and some co
Speaker 2: ed schools do better than sing I get it right,
Speaker 2: but have a look at the overall picture in Australia,
Speaker 2: because this is tragic. I went for the deep dive
Speaker 2: into the national results today. Now there are two categories
Speaker 2: that basically are the old pass fail sort of under
Speaker 2: fifty percent mark, and these are people who need additional support,
Speaker 2: which is code for really struggling or developing, which means
Speaker 2: not quite the standard yet. Have a look at this
Speaker 2: about year three, year five, year seven, and year nine.
Speaker 1: There are thirty one percent.
Speaker 2: Of kids in year three who need help with reading,
Speaker 2: twenty one percent struggle with writing, thirty seven with spelling,
Speaker 2: forty four percent with grammar and punctuation, thirty four percent,
Speaker 2: or I should say forty four percent and thirty four
Speaker 2: percent with numeracy in year five. I always get nervous,
Speaker 2: by the way, because when you're trying to get on
Speaker 2: your high horse about education, if you mispronounce something or
Speaker 2: something's poorly spelled on the screen.
Speaker 1: We all know what people, But my point stands, all right, a.
Speaker 2: Small team doing an awful lot of work, all right.
Speaker 2: In year five, twenty six point nine percent of kids
Speaker 2: are struggling with reading, thirty point nine with writing, thirty
Speaker 2: point six with spelling, thirty three point six with grammar
Speaker 2: and punctuation, and thirty and a half percent of year
Speaker 2: five kids struggle with basic numeracy. Once you get to
Speaker 2: high school. How the hell is a third having trouble
Speaker 2: with reading and writing?
Speaker 1: How a quarter having trouble with spelling?
Speaker 2: How are thirty seven percent having a problem with grammar
Speaker 2: and punctuation and again thirty one point three percent with numeracy?
Speaker 2: So then, okay, maybe there's a little hangover from primary school.
Speaker 1: What about year nine?
Speaker 2: You are one year short of being able to leave
Speaker 2: school if you want to win Year ten, thirty five
Speaker 2: percent are in the additional support or developing section of reading,
Speaker 2: thirty seven in writing, twenty six in spelling, forty three
Speaker 2: in grammar and punctuation, thirty four percent in numeracy. Now,
Speaker 2: I have said a thousand times that when it comes
Speaker 2: to many of the things they test at school, I
Speaker 2: am as dumb as the bricks that are behind us here, right,
Speaker 2: I bombed out big in school, and I am a
Speaker 2: high functioning dyslexic. All right, you may well notice that
Speaker 2: sometimes when I'm trying to read, or try to read
Speaker 2: sometimes without our glasses.
Speaker 1: So I know what it's like to struggle at school.
Speaker 2: I was one of the kids who in year twelve
Speaker 2: had to ask for assistance why because my.
Speaker 1: Handwriting was so bad? That's my fault.
Speaker 2: But my handwriting was so bad it looked like a
Speaker 2: drunk doctor's handwriting so way back when when they were
Speaker 2: run by the Commodore sixty four, I had to type
Speaker 2: things out rather than write them, and even then I
Speaker 2: still bombed out in my HSC. It's a whole series
Speaker 2: of wonderful reasons why I get to sit here tonight
Speaker 2: and use what skills I have to be able to
Speaker 2: make the arguments that we make each and every night.
Speaker 2: And I'm proud that I'm able to overcome those things.
Speaker 2: But a lot of people don't. And that means that
Speaker 2: we spend three hundred billion dollars in the past ten
Speaker 2: years on our schools. But all of those things show
Speaker 2: us we're going backwards. So great, okay, you're going to
Speaker 2: be able to double check whether your school went well
Speaker 2: or otherwise.
Speaker 1: But there are plenty of kids in plenty of schools
Speaker 1: who are.
Speaker 2: Going backwards, and we keep wasting money thinking that if
Speaker 2: we do more of the same, somehow it will change
Speaker 2: the result. That is the definition of insanity. Couple of
Speaker 2: quick ones, Commonwealth Bank. We ripped into them last night,
Speaker 2: and rightly so, because their decision was that they would
Speaker 2: charge you to walk into their branch to withdraw your money.
Speaker 2: There was a great conversation between somebody who's had the
Speaker 2: terrible job of trying to spin this on a current
Speaker 2: affair last night.
Speaker 1: Well done to Ali Langdon.
Speaker 2: And her team for basically sort of pulling the wings
Speaker 2: off the fly. Well, the good news is that within
Speaker 2: twenty four hours this thing's gone. It has now been
Speaker 2: put on the backburner. The government's trying to pretend they
Speaker 2: had a role in it. No, I think there might
Speaker 2: be something else. I don't think grim Jum was involved in.
Speaker 1: That at all.
Speaker 2: There's a drug summit happening in New South Wales as
Speaker 2: we speak. It is being chaired, among others by my
Speaker 2: mate John Brogden, the former boss of Lifeline, the former
Speaker 2: opposition leader and a man who would like to obviously
Speaker 2: see things change for the better in New South Wales. Well, interestingly,
Speaker 2: there was somebody who spoke not to the conference locally
Speaker 2: but from afar, and it was the boss of a
Speaker 2: city in the state of Oregon.
Speaker 1: Now, Oregon is one of the most.
Speaker 2: Super progressive, super lefty bits of the United States where
Speaker 2: they kind of legalized everything. When it came to drugs.
Speaker 2: He had a warning for New South Wales or anywhere
Speaker 2: else in Australia planning to do the same, because they've
Speaker 2: actually reversed that policy.
Speaker 8: In retrospect, it looks so obvious that if you don't
Speaker 8: have the treatment resources available, what's the point of even
Speaker 8: trying to incentivize people into detox or into sobering services
Speaker 8: if they don't exist. But what the Measure one ten
Speaker 8: did was it almost completely eliminated law enforcement's role in
Speaker 8: drug possession situations except their authority issue one hundred dollars cittion.
Speaker 2: Now, also, if there are people who are expecting a
Speaker 2: drug legalization to come from both the libertarian world or
Speaker 2: the lefty world like it has in the Act, it's
Speaker 2: not going to be happening in New South Wales. Now
Speaker 2: the laws have been loosened where some possession charges are
Speaker 2: being dealt with more via caution and health. But the
Speaker 2: Health Minister actually well kind of made the conference a
Speaker 2: little bit useless because he's ruled out the decriminalization of
Speaker 2: drugs in New South Wales.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: We all know that to Wikipedia not the most reliable
Speaker 2: source of information, but geez, don't millions.
Speaker 1: Of people go to it?
Speaker 2: Ever so frequently, and today the list came out about
Speaker 2: the things that people have been viewing the most on
Speaker 2: Wikipedia pages around the world. The number one most looked
Speaker 2: at thing deaths in twenty twenty four forty four point
Speaker 2: four million people. Then it was Kamala Harris, the American election,
Speaker 2: the Menendez brothers twenty five million people double checking details
Speaker 2: about Donald Trump. You'd imagine they would know by now,
Speaker 2: the ipl jd vance, the movie Deadpool and Wolverine, Terrorble.
Speaker 1: Project twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: Five, and the Indian election are what people look for
Speaker 2: on Wikipedia. But Tonight to Night, of course, where we
Speaker 2: talk to the wonderful Meghan Kelly, So a little primer
Speaker 2: about some of the American issues happening right now. Pete
Speaker 2: Hagserth is a man who has served his country in
Speaker 2: the military. He's worked for many charity since and of
Speaker 2: course most recently has been on television. He was named
Speaker 2: in a shock apparently to people, to be the Defense
Speaker 2: secretary under Donald Trump. And the problem is lots of
Speaker 2: people don't like his record, and there's lots of stories
Speaker 2: about him both personally and well professionally before television, which
Speaker 2: are now starting to sink his chances. He doesn't exactly
Speaker 2: look like a guy who is being embraced by the Senate.
Speaker 2: He looks like he's a naughty boy who's kind of
Speaker 2: working out that he's not going to be able to play.
Speaker 1: With the cool kids.
Speaker 2: So if he does not get confirmed, which seems to
Speaker 2: be a bit likely, there's going to be.
Speaker 1: A slam dunk choice.
Speaker 2: Apparently, according to the great people at the Wall Street Journal,
Speaker 2: rond de Santis might be the person who will replace He,
Speaker 2: of course, served in the Navy.
Speaker 1: I think he was a jag lawyer. Was he not well?
Speaker 2: That, of course would mean that he would have to
Speaker 2: leave the governor of Florida position. Now watch this for
Speaker 2: a little bit of musical chairs. You see, if he
Speaker 2: goes up to the federal government, then his lieutenant governor,
Speaker 2: basically the second in charge, would be promoted to become
Speaker 2: the governor for the rest of the term, and it
Speaker 2: would be her job to name a successor to Marco Rubio,
Speaker 2: who was a senator from Florida who is also making
Speaker 2: his way up to the big table of course, as
Speaker 2: the Secretary of State, the chief diplomat for the United States,
Speaker 2: Meaning that if the governor goes and senator goes, then
Speaker 2: the Lieutenant governor will have to name a new senator.
Speaker 2: And that's where Lara Trump comes in. Now, remember, of course,
Speaker 2: Lara is not just the daughter in law, but also
Speaker 2: is the boss of the.
Speaker 1: Republican Party, a party that won.
Speaker 2: She's a proud Floridian and of course you saw that
Speaker 2: great interview with her and Aaron Mullen available now YouTube
Speaker 2: and it's sky News dot com dot AU. So that's
Speaker 2: the primer of the musical chairs which might be happening
Speaker 2: in and around Florida. Megan Kelly loves Florida, but she
Speaker 2: doesn't live there, and we'll have her on the show
Speaker 2: a bit later tonight.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Oh and ugly tan curtains behind her. That really did
Speaker 5: make it look like something out of the USSR was
Speaker 5: Have they captured her? Is she where she? Is it
Speaker 5: Hawaii or is it Moscow? I can't quite tell.
Speaker 2: I know now I've got to that stage in my
Speaker 2: fat Guy for Zeke my dad that when I laugh,
Speaker 2: Google jiggle.
Speaker 1: She's the reason we're an HD.
Speaker 2: You can just split screen, but we'll pay a teacher
Speaker 2: to everything she has to say a little bit later
Speaker 2: in the show. Great debate coming up Bromen, Bishop Stephen Conroy.
Speaker 2: So much to get into, from how the lips planning
Speaker 2: to take on the teals to will the Reserve Bank
Speaker 2: do anything different than they have during the country being
Speaker 2: in a per capita recession, just getting started, big hour ahead.
Speaker 1: I told you we're doing the best we can with
Speaker 1: the hour we're got. Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 2: Oh, we always love this chat each and every week,
Speaker 2: none other than the carry out a champ looking resplendent
Speaker 2: in all of this color.
Speaker 1: By the way, Bromwin, Bishop, very pre christmasy.
Speaker 9: Of you, very pretty christmasy, and you know things are
Speaker 9: looking good for the country if we get to change
Speaker 9: the governor.
Speaker 1: She's on message. I love it and always just here
Speaker 1: to help.
Speaker 2: And you always know that he wants to talk about
Speaker 2: something else when we go on the long history wander.
Speaker 1: That's your version of the week, Steven Conroy. That's that
Speaker 1: I always know that. It's like so well, I will
Speaker 1: take that.
Speaker 7: I would take that as a compliment from you, given
Speaker 7: how much you love Trump's weave.
Speaker 2: Correct I do, and I love you too, mate, no
Speaker 2: question about all right, So let's talk about Peter Dutton
Speaker 2: today on the northern beaches of Sydney.
Speaker 1: This matters not.
Speaker 2: Because it's a Sydney story, but because of course the
Speaker 2: concentration of Teal seats all across Northern Beaches up into
Speaker 2: North Sydney, that seat it doesn't exist, then over the
Speaker 2: road into the eastern suburbs. So that's a pretty big
Speaker 2: sway of Teal seats that if they can somehow flip them,
Speaker 2: that would move them closer to the magic number of
Speaker 2: seventy six when the election takes place. Now, Bromin, one
Speaker 2: of the people who is trying to take over from you,
Speaker 2: James Brown, former boss of the RSL like, who seems
Speaker 2: to be pretty focused, pretty good. Jamie Rodgers has been
Speaker 2: announced as the candidate in Worringer.
Speaker 1: As well, and she's a delightful lady.
Speaker 2: But I just want to ask you what is the
Speaker 2: indicator that you see in and around the seat that
Speaker 2: results in anything different than where it was three years ago.
Speaker 2: Because we know what the Teals are going to do,
Speaker 2: we know all the volunteers are going to have all
Speaker 2: the extra posters and all the extra money. But what
Speaker 2: are you noticing about one of those bricks being moved?
Speaker 9: Well, let me tell you what's the most important indicator
Speaker 9: for me, and that was the no vote. Now the
Speaker 9: Liberal Party in New South Wales was the discrece It
Speaker 9: did not back the Liberal Party per se did not
Speaker 9: back the federal leader. So you had Speakmer not backing it,
Speaker 9: you had the state executive not backing it, but did mckeller.
Speaker 9: We had seventy six people who work very very hard.
Speaker 9: We had good leadership from one of our branches, from
Speaker 9: the Avalon branch and where people work very hard on prepoles.
Speaker 9: The final vote was zero point nine percent away from
Speaker 9: being fifty percent.
Speaker 1: Wow, okay, so we got forty.
Speaker 9: Nine point one percent. Every other till seat was a
Speaker 9: yes vote all.
Speaker 1: Over the play. It was a bloodshet.
Speaker 9: The work was put in. The work was put in,
Speaker 9: and the people of Mackella are good, sensible people and
Speaker 9: they know when someone is looking after their interests. So
Speaker 9: I think James Bounder is a very good candidate. He's
Speaker 9: hungry to work, he wants to do the job, and
Speaker 9: he cares about the people. So I think it's very
Speaker 9: very good that Peter was there today. Peter Duffin was
Speaker 9: there today. But I'll tell you an interesting historical fact.
Speaker 1: This is your wave. Now you're going on the history.
Speaker 9: Well, Keller used to be part of a Wringer. Yes,
Speaker 9: it's a forty nine ers seat. The person who won
Speaker 9: the seat of Waringer in nineteen thirty six was Percy Spender,
Speaker 9: good old Percy and Percy Spender, of course is a
Speaker 9: legal Spender's grandfather.
Speaker 1: Oh wow.
Speaker 9: And he wanted it as an independent because he got
Speaker 9: kdopped off for preselection and he then joined the UAP
Speaker 9: under Mensies. Right, So there's a nice connection.
Speaker 1: It is a lovely connection, all right. I do like
Speaker 1: the history weaves.
Speaker 2: I don't mind him at all. Don't mind him at all, Stephen.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to let you go to go on
Speaker 2: one just quickly yet, right? Which is that I want
Speaker 2: to ask you about. Obviously, part of the theory right
Speaker 2: about how the Teal seats fall is that if the
Speaker 2: Labor vote falls, the capacity of Labour's preferences to get
Speaker 2: these people elected falls with it. Is that something that
Speaker 2: you will be looking for as the detail of whether
Speaker 2: this is going to happen or not.
Speaker 7: Look, one of the things if you look at the
Speaker 7: history of independence in a range of different seats labor
Speaker 7: and liberal, is that after they win for the first time,
Speaker 7: the primary vote of the if you call it the
Speaker 7: third party, it's Labor or Liberal. But the party that
Speaker 7: wasn't the incumbent before collapses and gets him behind and
Speaker 7: locks him behind the.
Speaker 1: Independence.
Speaker 7: So I think that the Labor vote will go down,
Speaker 7: not because of any attempt deliberately. I think it will
Speaker 7: actually just go down to make sure that Labor will
Speaker 7: come third in these seats now, so it'll be really
Speaker 7: a contest between the incumbent Teel and the Liberal Party,
Speaker 7: and Labor will finish a distant third. Then you have
Speaker 7: the Green preferences and a range of other preferences. The key,
Speaker 7: of course for the Libs to try and get their
Speaker 7: primary vote to forty five forty six. If they're not
Speaker 7: at forty five forty six, they're in trouble even in
Speaker 7: what is a traditionally safe group of seats, because all
Speaker 7: those national poles say Labor should.
Speaker 1: Already be dead ducks.
Speaker 7: What keeps Labor with the hope of forming government is
Speaker 7: that Dutton will struggle to win back those twals.
Speaker 2: Correct, Correct, And that's our analysis. That's going to be
Speaker 2: our north star about how to interpret the election between
Speaker 2: now and then. Fascinating to have a look at what
Speaker 2: the bookies think right now, and again bookies they never
Speaker 2: lost sight on Trump. Maybe it'll be the same here
Speaker 2: in Australia. So we talk often about the economy. We
Speaker 2: know today that we are in this per capital recession
Speaker 2: seven quarters in a row. The numbers that they are terrible,
Speaker 2: and it doesn't matter which section of the media you
Speaker 2: go searching for your analysis, it all concludes the same,
Speaker 2: which is.
Speaker 1: We are in a world of trouble. But then we have,
Speaker 1: of course, what the Reserve Bank does now.
Speaker 2: Steven, I've got a feeling you're going to think they're
Speaker 2: in the wrong place right now. But Bromen, do you
Speaker 2: think that they will do anything different than they have
Speaker 2: to this point? Because if we've been in a per
Speaker 2: capita recession for seven of these quarters in a row,
Speaker 2: you need two to qualify.
Speaker 1: So we've done it three times over. We're on our
Speaker 1: way to our fourth.
Speaker 2: At what point does the Reserve Bank say, well, maybe
Speaker 2: the interest rates are of part of the problem here.
Speaker 9: No, I don't think they will because their job is
Speaker 9: to keep inflation down and everything the government is doing
Speaker 9: is pushing it up. So you've got to understand and
Speaker 9: that the snake charmer is doing his darndicity keeps telling
Speaker 9: us to reinvent capitalism. The only trouble is he's going
Speaker 9: down the socialist path. So his reinvention of capitalism has
Speaker 9: become a socialist, which of course is right in line
Speaker 9: with elbow. But if you want to see the country
Speaker 9: restored to prosperity, you've got to have a change of government.
Speaker 9: It's that simple, Stephen.
Speaker 3: If you.
Speaker 9: Look at what he's done, Look, I made a little list,
Speaker 9: well for it. Come on, there's no productivity growth at all,
Speaker 9: wrecking the economy the liberals and forming inflation, force up
Speaker 9: wages to.
Speaker 1: Relation country in reception all the masses.
Speaker 9: By controlling how much electricity they can have.
Speaker 1: Contain and tempt to drive.
Speaker 9: Yes, absolutely, and this goes on.
Speaker 2: I just want to give Stephen a chance to respond,
Speaker 2: because we're within the sixty second window before we've got
Speaker 2: to go off to Megan Kelly. Is this if there
Speaker 2: don't think they're going to? I mean, at some point
Speaker 2: they have to change their behavior, But I don't think
Speaker 2: they're going to.
Speaker 1: What do you think?
Speaker 7: No, I think the Reserve Bank and AW so locked
Speaker 7: into their failed economic model that they will be incapable
Speaker 7: admitting over the next four months that they've got it wrong.
Speaker 7: I've been arguing not just because of the election six
Speaker 7: months you've known, Paul, I've been arguing this over eighteen months.
Speaker 7: They've got their modeling wrong. And because they've got that wrong,
Speaker 7: they are not going to change now. So I think
Speaker 7: the governments have come to the conclusion that there will
Speaker 7: be no interest rate cuts because they've got it wrong.
Speaker 7: But just on the most fundamental point here, the government
Speaker 7: is part of the economy where labour should be getting
Speaker 7: credit today is they have stopped the economy going into recession. Stephen,
Speaker 7: the economy in recession, there is no private growth, there
Speaker 7: is no consumption.
Speaker 1: Probably there is no consumption. Damn it. Why did I
Speaker 1: lead with this topic. I should have lead with it.
Speaker 1: You have no clue there.
Speaker 7: You've got no clue on this. See plus in the
Speaker 7: first year text you yes, I look it up at
Speaker 7: an economics text.
Speaker 1: First this was the time.
Speaker 7: Now I'm saying this was the Reserve Bank are crushing
Speaker 7: the economy.
Speaker 1: The Reserve Bank, I destroyed it. Consumption reck you guys
Speaker 1: do it correct? And the sas now all all right, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: I call time on this. You have way more time
Speaker 1: next week. All right, quick break back the more. Megan
Speaker 1: Kelly joining us from the States is a funny one.
Speaker 1: I want to.
Speaker 2: See our favorite person in the world at favorite time
Speaker 2: of the week, Megan Kelly loving to see you.
Speaker 1: Jeez, didn't a few people notice how last conversation? Thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you?
Speaker 5: Little did they know we do that every week? They've
Speaker 5: been missing all the fun.
Speaker 1: Correct one hundred percent? All right, Well, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I am I supposed to say happy Holidays right now?
Speaker 2: Or is it happy Thanksgiving or happy you know? In
Speaker 2: between relo bashes? What's the right way to talk, you know,
Speaker 2: to a friend giving?
Speaker 5: We switch over to Merry Christmas. We say Merry Christmas.
Speaker 5: Remember that was the report. We say Merry Christmas, and
Speaker 5: we say.
Speaker 1: It that correct.
Speaker 2: Medals for anyone who was part of the war on
Speaker 2: Christmas for those so many years.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about Hunter Biden. So the pardon
Speaker 1: is not a surprise.
Speaker 2: Your reaction on the show is completely correct, which was okay.
Speaker 2: The only people who didn't see this coming are the
Speaker 2: same people who had the blinders on, who thought that
Speaker 2: Kamala was winning. But the devil in the detail is
Speaker 2: what I wanted to talk to you about. So he's
Speaker 2: completely off the book from everything from the start of
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen till a couple of days ago. That means barisma,
Speaker 2: That means all of the Russian disinformation time, and it
Speaker 2: also means any crimes while dad was president.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's all been wiped away. There is no way
Speaker 5: of getting after him whatsoever, at least not with a
Speaker 5: federal government, and there would be no state government that
Speaker 5: would be going after him for or would have even
Speaker 5: jurisdiction over these alleged crimes. But yeah, he's clearly decided
Speaker 5: that we can't touch anything he did. I believe it
Speaker 5: Joe Biden's behest I mean, I believe Joe Biden was
Speaker 5: in on the whole scheme and was not just some
Speaker 5: you know, poor concerned dad wondering what his drug addult
Speaker 5: son was up to. I think he was well aware
Speaker 5: of what his son was up to. Like, we're going
Speaker 5: to pretend that as a sitting vice president he didn't
Speaker 5: have the power to say, Hunter, you may not sit
Speaker 5: on the board of a Ukrainian energy company while your
Speaker 5: dad is vice president is the point man for the
Speaker 5: administration on Ukraine energy. Like you may not. It's a no,
Speaker 5: of course he could have. He did it because I
Speaker 5: believe that email was right that they found on the
Speaker 5: Hunter Biden laptop ten percent for the big guy. And
Speaker 5: Joe Biden does have have a nice beach house in
Speaker 5: Delaware and you know, a nice Porsche, and they don't
Speaker 5: pay the lawmakers over here very well. So where did
Speaker 5: his money come from? And I guarantee before we get
Speaker 5: to him passing the baton to Trump, we're going to
Speaker 5: see more Biden family pardens, including of his brother Jim
Speaker 5: Biden was also part of this racket, and he might
Speaker 5: even try to do the self pardon because I do
Speaker 5: think there's more to be found around this story. And
Speaker 5: unless they're completely insulated, the odds are team Trump will try.
Speaker 2: Has anyone explained why, I mean traditionally when stuff like
Speaker 2: this happens, it happens day of transfer because it'll be
Speaker 2: buried underneath all of the images of a new president
Speaker 2: taking the ice. Is there any suggestion as to why
Speaker 2: this had to happen?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 5: The speculation is that he didn't want him to get
Speaker 5: sentenced that once the sentencing, you know, and he was
Speaker 5: looking at three years on each charge once the sentencing
Speaker 5: was handed down, it would have been harder to make
Speaker 5: this look like a nothing.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 5: Now it's like and it's like he was found guilty,
Speaker 5: but come on, this is all political. Let's move on
Speaker 5: as opposed to like he just dodged a six or
Speaker 5: ten year sentence while everybody else who commits these crimes
Speaker 5: has to serve that time. So it could be that
Speaker 5: could be that they didn't want the official convicted felon
Speaker 5: label to attach, which it does when you get sentenced.
Speaker 5: So I don't know, but those make sense to me
Speaker 5: that he like to avoid the sentencing. He had to
Speaker 5: do an asap.
Speaker 2: So let's talk about our dear friend Kamala. We didn't
Speaker 2: get a chance to talk about it because of the
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving break. That video where she turned up like frankly
Speaker 2: as we would say in Australia or a peacet auntie.
Speaker 2: She was just you could almost hear the bottle rattling
Speaker 2: somewhere because that was not her finest performance, and of
Speaker 2: course she could have done a do over. There were
Speaker 2: no questions why was that so bad?
Speaker 5: I do think she looked and sounded drunk. I mean
Speaker 5: she truly was, like don't she tell anybody. They can't
Speaker 5: leave you their power. Don't take away your power. It's
Speaker 5: your power in your dreams and your aspirations. Don't take
Speaker 5: them away. I believe in you. I'm middle class. It
Speaker 5: was so crazy. I don't know why they didn't do
Speaker 5: another take, or four or wait four hours until she'd
Speaker 5: had some coffee, or maybe she's just exhausted, and this
Speaker 5: is how she sounds when she's absolutely exhausted. But then
Speaker 5: if you got a candidate like this is just another
Speaker 5: example of how her whole team is so clueless. Why
Speaker 5: if you have a candidate who is exhausted, let's go
Speaker 5: with that. Would you put her in a brown suit?
Speaker 5: Like what? What telegraphs vibrancy less than brown? Can? I
Speaker 5: like what? And then the hair was like very like
Speaker 5: drabbing forward. It was like the sort of what Sally
Speaker 5: Field referred to as like a football helmet in Seal
Speaker 5: Magnolia's And like her face was very sad. It was
Speaker 5: like very downward turning and she could yeah, and the
Speaker 5: ugly tan curtains behind her that really did make it
Speaker 5: look like something out of the USSR was like have
Speaker 5: they captured her? Is she? Where is she? Is it
Speaker 5: Hawaii or is it you know, Moscow? I can't quite tell.
Speaker 5: And you would put her on something vibrant, you would
Speaker 5: like make her seem a little warm. And let me
Speaker 5: tell you, I'm just not to be too mean, but
Speaker 5: I'm given those other things I just said. You would
Speaker 5: zoom out. Okay, I'm just gonna say it, zoom out, ladies.
Speaker 5: We've all been there. There are the days we all
Speaker 5: need to be zoomed out on, just like way back. Yeah,
Speaker 5: we can take the extreme clothes up, but they're getting
Speaker 5: fewer and farther between as we get older. Let me
Speaker 5: tell you, for Kamala Harris, we were at the zoom
Speaker 5: out portion of this race. So I honestly think this
Speaker 5: team is either totally clus or mean.
Speaker 2: What about So today the campaign is still asking for donations.
Speaker 2: Now we know that's because they broke They didn't just
Speaker 2: raise a beany and it was one and a half billion.
Speaker 2: We know they went into date. But who is still
Speaker 2: giving money to a case that's been dead for a month.
Speaker 5: I don't know, but they deserve it. It's like it's
Speaker 5: the way we felt when we talked about on your
Speaker 5: show that Black Lives Matter organizations turning out to be
Speaker 5: totally corrupt and fraudulent, and they'd been taking all this
Speaker 5: money and put it in their pockets, like we felt
Speaker 5: any sympathy at all for the donors, like okay, good,
Speaker 5: keep defrauding like I love it. Give, Give to help,
Speaker 5: Kamala Harris. You should. That should be where you spend
Speaker 5: your political donations this year, all of you who are
Speaker 5: inclined to do it, Like I can't believe the grift
