Speaker 1: On scorls Ostrodia.
Speaker 2: This is the winder Panalty Show.
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the reader. Panekey show coming
Speaker 3: up tonight. A massive payday coming for the union movement
Speaker 3: as business leaders warn of the Albanesi government's industrial relations agenda.
Speaker 3: Nick Kata and Gary Hardgrave will be with me shortly,
Speaker 3: the brilliant Batia Unga Sagon will have the latest from
Speaker 3: the US and later in the hour Kinzisko Field with
Speaker 3: all the celebrity and royal news and Left is losing
Speaker 3: it features this startling revelation. Punctuality is white supremacy.
Speaker 1: Being on time is weight supremacy, because what are they
Speaker 1: always on time?
Speaker 4: They do? Oh press but first.
Speaker 3: Fears of an eighteen billion dollar hit to the economy.
Speaker 3: AMID claims that the Albanezer government is planning to implement
Speaker 3: a nationwide portable long service leave scheme, meaning workers would
Speaker 3: accrue long service leave when working in a single industry
Speaker 3: rather than in a single company industry. Analysis obtained by
Speaker 3: The Australian show such a scheme could deliberate nine hundred
Speaker 3: million dollar revenue stream to unions, with business chiefs concerned
Speaker 3: about the potential for employees to double dip via different
Speaker 3: long service leave laws. Joining me now for more on
Speaker 3: this are at Menzi's Research Center. Senior fellow Nikata and
Speaker 3: Sky News contributor Gary hartgrave Nick.
Speaker 4: I'll start with you.
Speaker 3: Business leaders are raising concerns that a second term Albanesi
Speaker 3: government is going to push an even more radical industrial
Speaker 3: relations agenda.
Speaker 4: I've got to.
Speaker 3: Ask, where have these business leaders been. The election is
Speaker 3: two days away.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we would like to hear more out of them.
Speaker 2: I think the problem is when you talk about business leaders,
Speaker 2: you're usually talking about the big end of town, the
Speaker 2: if you represent the big corporations. Because small businesses, you know,
Speaker 2: the corner shop or the people that run the service
Speaker 2: station or run a plumbing operation. Time they don't have
Speaker 2: time to engage in this so and nobody does it
Speaker 2: for them. Nobody stands up for them. And of course
Speaker 2: to this kind of measure that you've outlined, there's so
Speaker 2: called portable long service leave, so you don't actually do
Speaker 2: long service with anybody. You just you know, have no
Speaker 2: incentive to be loyal to a company. But it really
Speaker 2: will hit small business hard. They can't provision for this
Speaker 2: in the way that big business can. And because as
Speaker 2: you point out it's going to be run by the unions,
Speaker 2: who will clip the ticket on the way through, as
Speaker 2: they do so much of the time, which is where
Speaker 2: they get most of their money. Nowadays. It's not from
Speaker 2: members fees because very few people are joining unions. It
Speaker 2: comes from schemes like this.
Speaker 4: Gary.
Speaker 3: This will be a windfall for the union movement, and
Speaker 3: certainly the union movement has been emboldened in recent years.
Speaker 4: But surely that's a good thing for workers.
Speaker 1: Well, it may not be, reader because you see, this
Speaker 1: is the ongoing match who fully corporatized Australia, Big unions,
Speaker 1: big business, big government, and they don't want small business.
Speaker 1: They don't want to deal with the difficulty of individual entrepreneurs.
Speaker 1: They don't want individuals at all to have rights. It's
Speaker 1: about you've got to plug in to this. You've got
Speaker 1: to be beholden to government. Government will provide you with this,
Speaker 1: and if they don't, of course unions will provide you
Speaker 1: with that. That suits big business because they are quite
Speaker 1: happy to deal with smaller groups of people as well.
Speaker 1: So look, I think this is frightening, it's dangerous. The
Speaker 1: impact on everyday Australians will be enormous. But it's not
Speaker 1: the only thing Elbow wins on Saturday. We're going to
Speaker 1: get inheritance tax, we're going to get unrealized capital gains tax,
Speaker 1: We're going to get Voice two point zero. It's going
Speaker 1: to be okay to lie yourself back into office. This
Speaker 1: is a very serious situation right now, just days out
Speaker 1: from the election.
Speaker 3: Well, let's just talk about that for a second, Nick,
Speaker 3: we are just a couple of days away. And it
Speaker 3: seems the scare campaigns have come primarily from labor who
Speaker 3: are in power.
Speaker 4: Normally it's the other way around it.
Speaker 3: Normally it's the opposition that's in attack mode. But there
Speaker 3: are actual policy areas where the Liberals should have gone
Speaker 3: far more negative. Voice two point zero is one of them.
Speaker 3: We've had Penny Wong in recent days saying that's something
Speaker 3: that's they're going to look at again because it was
Speaker 3: a mistake. She's likened it to same sex marriage. And
Speaker 3: then when you look up look at these industrial relation laws,
Speaker 3: when you talk about tax reform with capital gains tax negative.
Speaker 4: Gearing, there was a lot of area.
Speaker 3: Where the Coalition could have gone on the attack far
Speaker 3: more strongly than they have.
Speaker 2: Yeah, with a lot more evidence incidentally, than this crazy
Speaker 2: attack on nuclear power is costing fifty billion trillion dollars
Speaker 2: or whatever they're saying it is, which is clearly not.
Speaker 2: It's lots, so that the coalition could have gone on.
Speaker 2: I think that they should have gone harder from the start,
Speaker 2: But to be fair, I don't think they've had much
Speaker 2: oxygen because what's happened because Albin Easy sets in train
Speaker 2: this it's all the position's fault idea, and of course most
Speaker 2: of the media, ninety percent of the media just jump
Speaker 2: onto this, all the questions they get asked on this
Speaker 2: stupid nonsense because they want alb and Easy to win.
Speaker 2: That's the cold, hard fact of it.
Speaker 5: They do.
Speaker 2: And so you've got a contenders opposition leader of your
Speaker 2: conservative opposition leader, not just against the government of the
Speaker 2: day in this case, but against almost the entire media establishment.
Speaker 2: Is a big, big battle. So I'm not going to
Speaker 2: be too critical at this stage, but yes, yes, there
Speaker 2: is so much that's wrong with the government's policy, including
Speaker 2: the fact that it ductually doesn't have any serious policy
Speaker 2: on things like energy, and with what's happening at the moment,
Speaker 2: that's really scary. Once the Greens get hold of that
Speaker 2: agenda and start pushing it forward.
Speaker 3: Well, that definitely has been growing voter concern around the
Speaker 3: Liberal's nuclear plan, if you believe the polling that's today.
Speaker 3: That has been a significant issue in this election. And
Speaker 3: much of that fear is driven by the Labor Party's
Speaker 3: persistent use of the very misleading six hundred billion dollar
Speaker 3: figure that was concocted by the Smart Energy Council.
Speaker 4: Now, this is a.
Speaker 3: Renewables lobby group, it's linked to the Labor Party, and yes,
Speaker 3: yet their data is used as gospel by so.
Speaker 4: Many in the media and by the government.
Speaker 3: Now, the Smart Energy Council has really refused to explain
Speaker 3: how they came to this figure, how they put the
Speaker 3: study together, what was behind their modeling.
Speaker 4: Gary the six hundred.
Speaker 3: Billion dollar figure, it's even a lot higher than Chris
Speaker 3: Bowen's favorite organization, their CSIRO's modeling. But you've got to
Speaker 3: say the strategy has been effective if the polling is accurate.
Speaker 3: Voters are scared of the cost of.
Speaker 1: Nuclear Yeah, no, they can't handle of truth, so they
Speaker 1: go with the lie and let look readA In the end,
Speaker 1: the three of us have all reported on news items
Speaker 1: over a long period of time We've all seen all
Speaker 1: this stuff before. Where's the inquiring mind amongst journals? Why
Speaker 1: have journals turned into pr agents? George Orwell said, if
Speaker 1: they're not criticizing you, its public relations. You know, there
Speaker 1: should be a cynical journalist that work somewhere in Australia
Speaker 1: that's actually asking the hard questions. The facts are that
Speaker 1: nuclear is a thousand times more efficient use of any
Speaker 1: land than all of these wind turbines and solar panels.
Speaker 1: They have to take up so much more space and
Speaker 1: they produce a lot more electricity for the amount of
Speaker 1: space they take up. And every other country around the
Speaker 1: world is going towards nuclear. We're not. So I just
Speaker 1: think whoever wins on Saturday, nuclear is going to be
Speaker 1: on the agenda. It's going to happen. It has to
Speaker 1: happen because we're not going to be able to make
Speaker 1: anything in Australia. We're not going to be able to
Speaker 1: be self sufficient on any front. We're not going to
Speaker 1: be able to defend ourselves. We're going to be lying
Speaker 1: on China to make our warships. I mean, spare me.
Speaker 1: Is this how bad Australia has got to get? And
Speaker 1: we're going to go further down the tubes for people
Speaker 1: in Australia to finally understand how bad this government has been.
Speaker 1: And well, whether the Opposition win or lose on Saturday,
Speaker 1: we are going to go nuclear because we just simply
Speaker 1: have to.
Speaker 6: We have to.
Speaker 3: But how could the Prime Minister Chris Bowen possibly prosecute
Speaker 3: that case Nick? With everything they have said about nuclear energy,
Speaker 3: all the scare campaigns they've run, all the claims about
Speaker 3: how is not sustainable, it's not commercial, it could never
Speaker 3: possibly happen without bankrupting the economy, how can they do
Speaker 3: it what eighty and introduce nuclear after all that?
Speaker 2: Well, they're stuck, and if they're asked a few hard
Speaker 2: questions they might be in a bit of bother because
Speaker 2: the question is how can you do without nuclear?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 2: If we're not allowed to use coal anymore, what's your baseload?
Speaker 2: I mean they're trying to tell us that win solo
Speaker 2: can be baseload. I mean they're denying the physics, just
Speaker 2: in the same way that the trans lobby deny the biology.
Speaker 2: You know, you just can't get round those facts that
Speaker 2: intermittent non the power that doesn't set in a neat
Speaker 2: fifty cycle is dangerous in the system. It's not just
Speaker 2: not very helpful, it is positively dangerous, as we've seen
Speaker 2: this week from Spain where their energy grid decided to
Speaker 2: take us to Esther in the middle of the afternoon.
Speaker 4: Now, well we'll get back to Spain.
Speaker 3: But Gary, just lastly, on the Smart Energy Council, they
Speaker 3: enjoy charity status. Does that pass the pop test?
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think so. And if anybody is going
Speaker 1: to go around and call themselves smart anything, they're really
Speaker 1: not smart.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 1: The Labor Party have lied and conveniently lied and lied
Speaker 1: and lied and lied. And if Australias want to back
Speaker 1: the lie, then I guess that's what we've got to suffer.
Speaker 1: But there's going to be a lot of angry people
Speaker 1: on May fourth. Whether it's going to be the Jedis
Speaker 1: of the Empire, I don't know what's going to win,
Speaker 1: but I think the Cyths are going to be in
Speaker 1: control and the Greens are going to have a lot
Speaker 1: more than they should when it comes to the way
Speaker 1: Australia's run and we're just going to be ruined. We're
Speaker 1: going to This country is stuffed and it's going to
Speaker 1: get more stuffed if the election goes the wrong.
Speaker 3: Way, it certainly is a consequential election, and I think
Speaker 3: that's why it's so disappointing that it's been so lackluster. Really,
Speaker 3: we haven't had those great debates, those great ideological debates
Speaker 3: about energy, about population, about cultural issues that I think
Speaker 3: has been what's disappointed a lot of people. I want
Speaker 3: to ask you about this clip of Anthony Alberaneasi. It's
Speaker 3: getting a lot of attention online.
Speaker 4: It's a bit of an.
Speaker 3: Awkward, awkward little encounter with a Labor Party volunteer that
Speaker 3: the Prime Minister appears to brush off.
Speaker 5: Are you excusing your boss?
Speaker 3: Yeah? How the Liberals have seized on that footage and
Speaker 3: put out this social media ad not keen to get
Speaker 3: stuck talking?
Speaker 4: Are you kissing your boy? Yeah?
Speaker 7: Nice? Anyway a liberal camera?
Speaker 3: Oh Nick, that's a bit cheeky from the coalition, isn't it.
Speaker 3: I'm sure prime ministers politicians have done that many times,
Speaker 3: brushed off somebody when they don't have the time to
Speaker 3: to to speak to them. I do you think they
Speaker 3: were being a bit harsh with the Prime minister there not.
Speaker 2: A Tory reader, because he's is the Prime minister who
Speaker 2: says his story is no one left behind unless he
Speaker 2: decides to push them behind him. You know, it's completely
Speaker 2: against what he's saying. He's trying to tell us that
Speaker 2: that Peter Dutton is a bully, that he's aggressive, that
Speaker 2: he's just is you know, bosh, and we'll get completely
Speaker 2: the opposite from Peter Dutton. And yet from the Prime Minister.
Speaker 2: He gets very short tempered and he doesn't seem to
Speaker 2: care much about ordinary people, does he. I mean he
Speaker 2: treated that woman like he's seems to be treating most
Speaker 2: ordinary people over the cost of living and other issues
Speaker 2: which are really hurting people's lives. So yeah, no, I do.
Speaker 2: It's pretty pretty nasty behavior for the Prime Minister.
Speaker 4: Gary.
Speaker 3: I've got to say, if the situation was reversed it
Speaker 3: was Peter Dutton treating a volunteer that way, the media
Speaker 3: would be in meltdown over it.
Speaker 4: And we've seen footage.
Speaker 3: Peter Kredlin has played this on her program throughout the
Speaker 3: week of the press pack being so hostile to Peter
Speaker 3: Dutton when questioning him, whilst they treat Elbow like he's
Speaker 3: a mate.
Speaker 4: It is hard to deny.
Speaker 3: Despite the fact that they're supposed to be impartial unbiased journalists,
Speaker 3: not opinion leaders.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we do opinion. That's what we do. I mean,
Speaker 1: I host radio on what we see in Brisbane. I
Speaker 1: do opinion. You do, opinion reader, I mean, this is
Speaker 1: what we do. But journalists that are basically still overcoming
Speaker 1: the shock of puberty are showing up to actually ask
Speaker 1: alternative prime minister's tough questions. They're reading it off their
Speaker 1: iPhone because the editor said, here, stupid work experience, kid,
Speaker 1: go and ask somebody a tough question because grownups won't
Speaker 1: ask these questions because grown ups would actually filter it.
Speaker 3: Now, Labor has managed to successfully make Medicare and share
Speaker 3: this election. They've whipped up a medi scared two point
Speaker 3: oh and pulses are saying that it's working, that the
Speaker 3: coalition's attempts to counter these attacks is not resonating with voters,
Speaker 3: and instead that coalitions counter promises on Medicare are being
Speaker 3: drowned out by Labour's scare campaign warning of cuts under
Speaker 3: the opposition leader Nick. This is surprising because if you
Speaker 3: look at the detail, Labour's own Medicare policy promises are
Speaker 3: being criticized by peak bodies like the National Association of
Speaker 3: General Practice Management. They say, it's all smoke and mirrors.
Speaker 3: This notion that most patients will be able to see
Speaker 3: a doctor for free is a fantasy.
Speaker 2: Well, exactly what they've put forward is hopeful statement that
Speaker 2: everybody will get Medicare for free, to get doctors visits
Speaker 2: for free, with no actual way of backing this up.
Speaker 2: So they haven't actually thought through the policy challenges. How
Speaker 2: do you get enough doctors, how do you get enough
Speaker 2: doctors in the right places at the right time. How
Speaker 2: do you get a doctor to work in the back
Speaker 2: of Burke on a Sunday afternoon when he's needed. You know,
Speaker 2: none of these things they address. It's just all about slogans.
Speaker 2: And they also, of course conveniently brush over the fact
Speaker 2: there's been a massive drop in bulk billing rates since
Speaker 2: they came to power unpresidented for over the last three years.
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying that's necessarily all together their fought.
Speaker 2: There are structural things to hear about, you know, supply
Speaker 2: of doctors and so forth, but they won't address any
Speaker 2: of that. It's just a slogan, isn't it. So we
Speaker 2: can't expect them actually to achieve anything at all in
Speaker 2: government unless they're keeping all those planned secrets somewhere.
Speaker 3: Now, let's get back to those blackouts in Europe. We
Speaker 3: spoke about it earlier in the week. This is just
Speaker 3: a enormous crisis. Sixty million people plunged into darkness, and
Speaker 3: just days before this mass blackout, Spain was celebrating its
Speaker 3: reliance on renewable energy.
Speaker 4: They're not celebrating any more, Nicker.
Speaker 3: What lessons can we take from what's happening in Europe
Speaker 3: right now?
Speaker 2: Well, the number one lesson, of course is we cannot
Speaker 2: possibly get to net zero this way. In fact, we
Speaker 2: can't get there anyway. In my view, I agree with
Speaker 2: Tony Blair, the former Labour Prime Minister of Great Britain,
Speaker 2: who's told Keir Starmer, the current Labor Prime Minister, that
Speaker 2: he's dreaming with the idea of zero twenty fifty. But
Speaker 2: putting that aside, what we've got here is just it
Speaker 2: shows up that what we've been pushing into the system
Speaker 2: is junk energy. It really can. You cannot keep putting
Speaker 2: more and more renewables into the system and expect the
Speaker 2: grid to remain stable. That's what's happened in Spain, and
Speaker 2: it's funny to watch the renewable lobby here Rita come
Speaker 2: up with all sorts of excuses. I read one article
Speaker 2: to day in renew Economy, which as you know, is
Speaker 2: the sort of prafter for the renewable industry. It's saying
Speaker 2: that it was all Spain's fault because they didn't put
Speaker 2: in enough batteries. What really a country dow size with
Speaker 2: that population, they're going to keep the light on with
Speaker 2: batteries like it's nuts. But the people, I don't know
Speaker 2: whether they're deluded or just driven by the money, but
Speaker 2: either way they are completely stark, staring bonkers. And as
Speaker 2: soon as we wake up to that as a country,
Speaker 2: the better it'll be.
Speaker 4: Gary.
Speaker 3: Doesn't seem like we're going to be waking up to
Speaker 3: it anytime soon. This could have been an election that
Speaker 3: was fought on energy policy. Could have been a referendum
Speaker 3: on energy about whether most Australians value reliability and low
Speaker 3: cost or whether their priority is emission cuts, and that
Speaker 3: would have been a real debate, and we didn't have it, Gary, No,
Speaker 3: we didn't.
Speaker 1: Add of course, the first week, every first week of
Speaker 1: every federal election for the last forty years has been
Speaker 1: about save Medicare. And then you move on to the
Speaker 1: real issues, because no one's getting rid of medicare, so
Speaker 1: I'll just say that. But look, the Prime Minister could
Speaker 1: have gone down the path of saying, I'm going to
Speaker 1: give you two hundred and seventy five dollars off your
Speaker 1: power bill. Oh wait on, he tried that. He lied,
Speaker 1: We're going to and by the way, that should be
Speaker 1: every power bill. I get one every quarter. So that
Speaker 1: was four by two hundred and seventy five dollars. Basically
Speaker 1: thirteen hundred dollars is what I was expecting off my
Speaker 1: power But this race to renewables is a race to ruin,
Speaker 1: and that is the end of the story. Net zero
Speaker 1: is a nonsense. We're going to have net zero productivity,
Speaker 1: net zero chance of defending ourselves to the outside world,
Speaker 1: because net zero chance of making anything in Australia. And
Speaker 1: in the end, what has happened in Spain and Portugal
Speaker 1: this week will happen on the East coast of Australia
Speaker 1: incoming years. It just will because as more and more
Speaker 1: renewables go into the grid, and the only reason they're
Speaker 1: called renewable is they've got to be renewed every ten
Speaker 1: years because the whole thing falls over. The wind turbines,
Speaker 1: the solar panels, the batteries, everything falls over. They're renewables
Speaker 1: because you've got to buy them again. That's why there's
Speaker 1: the big raw. The people making money out of it,
Speaker 1: they're not deluded. They know that they're going to follow
Speaker 1: the idiocy of people like Chris Bowen and Anthony alban
Speaker 1: Easy all the way to their bank.
Speaker 3: Yes, there's some very rich people getting even richer off renewables.
Speaker 3: Before you go, gentlemen, I just want to talk a
Speaker 3: little bit about US politics. We've had promises made, promises kept.
Speaker 3: Just nine illegal immigrants were released into the US during
Speaker 3: President Trump's first one hundred days in offers, which this week.
Speaker 3: That represents a ninety nine point nine nine percent decrease
Speaker 3: in what's called get got aways. These got aways are
Speaker 3: unlawful entrants who are not turned back, who are released
Speaker 3: into the country.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: To contrast that to the same period last year under
Speaker 3: Joe Biden, there were one hundred and eighty four thousand
Speaker 3: got aways. Nick Resolving the illegal immigration crisis would have
Speaker 3: to be among Donald Trump's top achievements, and I don't
Speaker 3: think anyone expected him to get it done. So quickly
Speaker 3: and so effectively.
Speaker 2: No, because they never do, because the lovies will tell
Speaker 2: you this isn't possible. You know, you can't possibly do this,
Speaker 2: just as they told the Tony Abbott that before the
Speaker 2: twenty thirteen election, Oh, you can't turn back boats, it's impossible.
Speaker 2: Well Tony abbittt did so and got the same result
Speaker 2: as Donald Trump, an immediate reduction to almost nothing of
Speaker 2: illegal immigration. As we know, the people smug as who
Speaker 2: bring these people over watch the news very carefully. They
Speaker 2: would have known that they're in trouble with with Donald Trump,
Speaker 2: and and they've stopped sending people that way. They'll find
Speaker 2: another route no out, possibly via Canada perhaps, but you
Speaker 2: know they're not they're not going to use that border
Speaker 2: with with the with Trump in power, in the in
Speaker 2: the in the with the firm mindset he has on
Speaker 2: this issue.
Speaker 4: Gentlemen, it's been a pleasure. Thanks for your time. Tonight,
Speaker 4: still to come.
Speaker 3: Left is losing it Plus Donald Trump sits down for
Speaker 3: a combative interview with ABC Bationga Sargon.
Speaker 4: As the details.
Speaker 3: You're watching the reader Pany show and it's time for
Speaker 3: lefties losing it. And this is genuinely amusing listen here
Speaker 3: as the worst vice presidential candidate ever. Tampon Tim Tim Walls,
Speaker 3: you remember him, the man famous for putting tampons in
Speaker 3: boys bathroom across his state. Well, he's revealed that he
Speaker 3: was selected by Kamala Harris because he could co talk
Speaker 3: to white dudes. Really, white dudes watching football and fixing
Speaker 3: their trucks were going to vote for this.
Speaker 8: I also was on the ticket quite honestly, you know,
Speaker 8: because I could code talk to white guys watching football
Speaker 8: fixing their truck doing that that I could put them
Speaker 8: at ease. I was the permission structure to say, look,
Speaker 8: you can do this and vote for this.
Speaker 3: This guy is the Democrats idea of masculinity.
Speaker 4: Yes, this dude Faulter.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's a picture of strength and masculinity.
Speaker 4: Just look at how well he loads a gun.
Speaker 3: That and it never fits quite right.
Speaker 8: It's not give them that.
Speaker 4: Now, let's check in with the.
Speaker 3: Latest thing to be listed as inherently racist. You'll recall
Speaker 3: that everything from the countryside to working out has been
Speaker 3: labeled a sign of white supremacy. And now you can
Speaker 3: add to that list punctuality.
Speaker 4: Yes, being on time is white supremacy.
Speaker 1: Being on time as white supremacy, because what are they
Speaker 1: always on time to do?
Speaker 5: Oh press, I'm always going to be.
Speaker 4: Ten to fifteen minutes late, because that's the correct time,
Speaker 4: according to my people. Now to the corrupt corporate media.
Speaker 3: President Donald Trump sat down for an interview with ABC's
Speaker 3: Terry Moran to discuss the first hundred days of his
Speaker 3: second term. Now, for the record, Terry Moran, you may
Speaker 3: never have heard of him, is a classic lefty losing it,
Speaker 3: and he went about proving that straightway. He seems to
Speaker 3: think the billions in waste and food uncovered by the
Speaker 3: Department of Government Efficiency will result in no investigations or
Speaker 3: criminal referrals.
Speaker 4: Listen to how he frames this question.
Speaker 9: We found a lot of fraud.
Speaker 6: There was a lot of fraud. Fraudulent things were taking place,
Speaker 6: and we ended that and those people are going to
Speaker 6: be suffering.
Speaker 4: Me just a legal note, fraud is a crime. There
Speaker 4: have been no referrals to the Justice Department anyway.
Speaker 5: You don't know that, do you?
Speaker 6: How do you know that.
Speaker 4: Have there been referrals to that?
Speaker 9: How would you know that that there were no referrals?
Speaker 4: I think they generally are right. There's been no investigation
Speaker 4: from the highest department. I'm asking you, sir.
Speaker 6: You're not asking me.
Speaker 9: You made a statement.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: Now I'm asking you.
Speaker 6: There was a statement that you made.
Speaker 5: I'm asking you.
Speaker 6: Have there been Yes, they have.
Speaker 3: Donald Trump wasn't putting up with that sort of nonsense.
Speaker 3: This was his response when asked whether he trusted ladding
Speaker 3: me a persian.
Speaker 4: Do you trust me? I think? Do you trust him?
Speaker 6: I don't trust you. I don't trust I don't trust
Speaker 6: a lot of people. I don't trust you.
Speaker 4: Look at you. You come in all shooting for bear.
Speaker 4: You're so happy to do the interview I am.
Speaker 9: Then you start hitting me with fake questions.
Speaker 4: He started telling me.
Speaker 6: That a guy whose hand is covered the tattoo doesn't
Speaker 6: have the tattoo.
Speaker 4: You know, I mean, you're being honest. No, I'm not Laonoea.
Speaker 4: And you might be wondering why President Trump selected.
Speaker 3: This particular ABC clown for an interview. Well, the President
Speaker 3: addressed that question.
Speaker 6: It was photosho.
Speaker 4: Terry you ahead of that.
Speaker 6: Hey, they're giving you the big break of a lifetime.
Speaker 9: You know you're doing the interview.
Speaker 6: I picked you because.
Speaker 4: Frankly, I never heard of you. But that's okay.
Speaker 6: I picked you Terry.
Speaker 3: He really is wonderfully droll, and it did not miss
Speaker 3: the opportunity to remind the ABC and other media that
Speaker 3: they were complicit in the cover up about Joe Biden's
Speaker 3: obvious cognitive decline.
Speaker 6: We were left at all over the world. We had
Speaker 6: a president that couldn't walk up a flight of stairs,
Speaker 6: couldn't walk down a flight of stairs, couldn't walk across
Speaker 6: the stage without falling. We had a president that was
Speaker 6: grossly incompetent.
Speaker 9: You knew it, I knew it, and everybody knew it,
Speaker 9: but you guys didn't want to write it because you're
Speaker 9: fake news.
Speaker 8: All right, thank you.
Speaker 6: By the way, ABC is one of the worst, I
Speaker 6: have to be honest.
Speaker 3: Okay, thank you, and God forget it was only a
Speaker 3: few months ago the ABC gave President Trump an enormous
Speaker 3: payout to settle a defamation case they never learn. Joining
Speaker 3: me now is journalist and author Batiya Ungasagon Batilla. I
Speaker 3: have to say I did find that ABC interview enormously entertaining.
Speaker 4: What was your take and did we learn anything new?
Speaker 5: I think it's really interesting. The president, I think, sees
Speaker 5: his agenda as a very unifying one, which it is
Speaker 5: he was elected with a mandate to bring back the
Speaker 5: glory of American life, American prosperity, the American working class,
Speaker 5: the dignity of working class Americans. And I think that
Speaker 5: he still wants that recognition from a mainstream liberal media
Speaker 5: that is utterly committed to representing him in the worst
Speaker 5: possible light. And you can see that he just is
Speaker 5: so confus used because he knows that what he's doing
Speaker 5: is what he was elected to do, and yet he
Speaker 5: still experiences this constant contempt from the mainstream media. So
Speaker 5: it was very interesting to see them playing off each
Speaker 5: other in those designated roles, despite the fact that the
Speaker 5: country itself is so different.
Speaker 3: It is, but when he selects these leftists to conduct
Speaker 3: the interview, he knows their form. They're not newcomers. Does
Speaker 3: he really expect anything different or does he actually want
Speaker 3: to have that five does he want to take them on.
Speaker 5: It's very interesting because he recently met with a number
Speaker 5: of different journalists. There were three that he met with
Speaker 5: from the Atlantic, and then he sat down with the
Speaker 5: comedian and sort of political commentator Bill Maher, and in
Speaker 5: both of those cases, Bill Maher of course, has criticized
Speaker 5: him very vociferously, but also the journalists from the Atlantic,
Speaker 5: everybody who he met with in those contexts talked about
Speaker 5: how char is and how when they met with him
Speaker 5: one on one, they were able to have really interesting conversations,
Speaker 5: and that he does come off in this very charming
Speaker 5: way even when he is speaking to people who have
Speaker 5: criticized him. I do think that he has this feeling
Speaker 5: of things are so different now. He won the popular vote,
Speaker 5: He won every swing state, every state in America moved
Speaker 5: to the right, you know, in appreciation for what he's promising.
Speaker 5: So I think he is very sort of confused and
Speaker 5: steiny by the idea that they're still running that twenty
Speaker 5: sixteen playbook again, still calling him hitler, still calling him
Speaker 5: a threat to democracy, when it's clear that the country
Speaker 5: is behind him.
Speaker 4: Well, you're not imagining it.
Speaker 3: Just about every news report on Donald Trump and his
Speaker 3: administration is negative. It is twenty sixteen all over again.
Speaker 3: Analysis by the Media Research Center found that so far
Speaker 3: this year, Trump's administration has faced ninety two percent negative
Speaker 3: coverage from ABC, CBS, and NBC.
Speaker 4: That's three networks.
Speaker 3: But the leftist media is pretty much in unison in
Speaker 3: being anti Trump. Fairly consistently, Bertia, Is it having an
Speaker 3: impact with the public, Because of course Trump voters have
Speaker 3: a great distrust of the media, they're probably ignoring this coverage.
Speaker 3: But those swinging voters surely it has an impact with them.
Speaker 5: We just stopped for a minute and talk about how
Speaker 5: utterly absurd it is that a man who won the
Speaker 5: popular vote is covered negatively ninety two percent of the time,
Speaker 5: and Rita, it just points out the truth here, which
Speaker 5: is that it is not just the president that the
Speaker 5: elites in the media heat. It is the American people
Speaker 5: and the American people who want what he is offering.
Speaker 5: That contempt is not just for him, but for all
Speaker 5: of the millions of Americans who he represents. It's totally
Speaker 5: totally absurd. I do think it is impacting independence. His
Speaker 5: polls are not great right now, and of course he
Speaker 5: started out very unpopular. He's a polarizing figure. We have
Speaker 5: an enormous class divide, so you know, the election really
Speaker 5: was decided based on whether you have a college degree
Speaker 5: or not. A lot of Americans with a college degree
Speaker 5: have this very unhealthy obsession with him and hatred of him.
Speaker 5: So that could be up to twenty five percent of
Speaker 5: Americans right there, and then you have Independence, who I
Speaker 5: think are very upset about the volatility in the market.
Speaker 5: But of course we have to go through this period.
Speaker 5: We have to decouple from China. It is absurd how
Speaker 5: China has been eating our lunch, buying up our debt.
Speaker 5: We've basically, you know, mortgaged our children's future out to
Speaker 5: China in exchange for cheap crap. It was always going
Speaker 5: to be a period of adjustment when you you had
Speaker 5: somebody who had the courage to actually make that happen.
Speaker 5: And of course President Trump is the only person who
Speaker 5: was willing to do that.
Speaker 3: But Tia, just on the tariffs, do you think Donald
Speaker 3: Trump can withstand the pressure? Can he hold the line
Speaker 3: against China? Because he's facing enormous criticism. What is looking
Speaker 3: to do is going to be a Maydian long term
Speaker 3: plan and in the short term there's going to be
Speaker 3: a great deal of pain.
Speaker 5: Absolutely. You know, Trump was almost killed twice last year.
Speaker 5: He's a man who feels that he based his maker
Speaker 5: and he's on a mission and he doesn't care what
Speaker 5: Wall Street has to say. I mean, he's so clear
Speaker 5: that he doesn't work for them, and he's not answerable
Speaker 5: to them. He works for the American people, and he's
Speaker 5: answerable to the American people. They have a few trade
Speaker 5: deals that are on the table that are being finalized
Speaker 5: that they keep saying are going to come out very soon,
Speaker 5: and I believe them. India, South Korea, Vietnam have been floated.
Speaker 5: We've already seen India and Vietnam imposed tariffs on Chinese steel,
Speaker 5: which is an enormous, enormous win. But of course the
Speaker 5: elites don't want to admit any of this because tariffs
Speaker 5: are class warfare on them, you know, on behalf of
Speaker 5: the working class. So you know, if Wall Street was
Speaker 5: not livid, I would be worried that we were not
Speaker 5: doing the right thing.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 3: We've been talking about media lies, and who can forget
Speaker 3: the media's complicity in painting the violent BLM protests is
Speaker 3: mostly peaceful remember that image from CNN. People think it's
Speaker 3: ai these days, mostly peaceful protests as towns burned down. Well,
Speaker 3: the activists of the FBI who took a knee in
Speaker 3: solidarity with BLM and Neo Marxist anti American, anti police movement,
Speaker 3: they've been reassigned. CNN reports these reassignments are viewed as
Speaker 3: demotions by many inside the FIBI, and come nearly five
Speaker 3: years after the episode that ignited a great deal of
Speaker 3: controversy inside the bureau. But Tilla, I've got to say,
Speaker 3: I would have preferred sackings.
Speaker 4: But I think this is a good start.
Speaker 3: These actions by activists within the FBI, within the Justice
Speaker 3: Justice Department that have caused enormous damage that really undermined
Speaker 3: the public's trust in these institutions.
Speaker 5: I think that's a really good point.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 5: I remember at the time, actions like that were seen
Speaker 5: as unifying because you had all these protesters out there
Speaker 5: burning down these cities, and then you would have you know,
Speaker 5: members of law enforcement basically like trying to signal, look,
Speaker 5: we're all, you know, one country. We're all like on
Speaker 5: the same side of this. We all want better policing,
Speaker 5: we all want fair policing. But I think you're totally
Speaker 5: right that what we know now about Black Lives Matter,
Speaker 5: which we didn't at the time, that it is such
Speaker 5: a you know, decrepit a moral institution does not represent
Speaker 5: black people or a unification of this country around you know,
Speaker 5: the values that doctor King espoused, but rather a real
Speaker 5: radical nature that does cast many Americans, including many police officers,
Speaker 5: as racist in a very damaging way. So it's really
Speaker 5: nice to see institutions taking stock of where we're at
Speaker 5: in a place like the FBI saying, look, we're going
Speaker 5: to stand for a very different kind of relationship between
Speaker 5: us and the public, and we're not going to give
Speaker 5: them any excuses to see us as on one side
Speaker 5: or the other.
Speaker 3: Look, I'd challenged the notion that we didn't know what
Speaker 3: Blen was back then. I think we knew that they
Speaker 3: were open about what they stood for. They were open
Speaker 3: about their Marxist ideals, the fact that the three founders
Speaker 3: identified as Marxists, that they were anti the Nuclear Family.
Speaker 3: This was all on their vicial website. They scrubbed some
Speaker 3: of that in later years, and yet we had, I think,
Speaker 3: to me, it's as a grosser betrayal of the American
Speaker 3: people as the media's complicity in covering up Joe Biden's
Speaker 3: cognitive decline. The fact that the media went along with
Speaker 3: this group, with these protests, with this mass destruction and
Speaker 3: mayhem across America, as if it were some progressive movement
Speaker 3: rather than a really quite a destructive anti American movement
Speaker 3: that wasn't really interested in black lives for heire.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're definitely right about that. I was one of
Speaker 5: the people who was calling it a racial moral panic
Speaker 5: at the time, and was quite nearly canceled for it,
Speaker 5: almost you know, lost my job. And it was a
Speaker 5: very intense time because there was that feeling that the
Speaker 5: media was completely on the side of the activists. And
Speaker 5: I actually wrote a whole book about this called bad News,
Speaker 5: How walk Media is Undermining Democracy, about how how basically
Speaker 5: the racial moral panic, all of this kind of far
Speaker 5: left woke ideology was a smoke screen for the ways
Speaker 5: in which the elites in the media and in politics
Speaker 5: and in tech and everything had become very wealthy at
Speaker 5: the expense of the working class. And so that wokeness
Speaker 5: and what Trump is doing with the tariffs and with immigration,
Speaker 5: it's all one and the same. He's fighting for the
Speaker 5: dignity of working class Americans, which was sold out by
Speaker 5: the Democrats who pretended that they were still representing the
Speaker 5: working class while actually themselves getting rich off of the
Speaker 5: backs of working class Americans, and then of course instituting
Speaker 5: these very unsafe ideology around defund the police and so forth,
Speaker 5: which poor and working class people and people of color
Speaker 5: were the most negatively impacted by.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 3: One of the biggest stories in the US the last
Speaker 3: week or two has been this so called Maryland Man,
Speaker 3: Maryland Dad, and the way the Democrats have gone into
Speaker 3: bat for this illegal immigrant who was deported to El
Speaker 3: Salvador and is a gang banger. Two courts have found
Speaker 3: him to be a member of MS thirteen or Fox
Speaker 3: News has obtained a second protective order that was filed
Speaker 3: against this man Garcia by his wife back in twenty twenty,
Speaker 3: which she accuses him of not just physical abuse and
Speaker 3: threatening her, but she also said that she has a
Speaker 3: recording there where he says he can kill her and nobody.
Speaker 4: Can do anything to him.
Speaker 3: I am in shopatya that the Democrats are going to
Speaker 3: war for this man. I mean, what a stupid hill
Speaker 3: to die on.
Speaker 5: It's really amazing that they're out here with their whole
Speaker 5: like you know, jesuite Kilmar. You know, like if they
Speaker 5: can come for the wife beating, gang bang or human trafficker,
Speaker 5: surely you are next in line. I mean, it's totally amazing.
Speaker 5: They just love to white knight for criminals, and you know,
Speaker 5: I think some of it. They didn't know when they
Speaker 5: started white nighting for him, but you know, the idea
Speaker 5: that this is a person who's worth you know, doing
Speaker 5: anything for that. There was a US senator who flew
Speaker 5: there to shook his hand, the hand that hit his
Speaker 5: wife while she was holding to her child. It's so
Speaker 5: so amazing. And all of the immigration hysteria right now,
Speaker 5: of the babies that were deported, or you know, the
Speaker 5: people who only criticized Israel who are having their green
Speaker 5: cards revoked. You know, it's all just hoaxes all the
Speaker 5: way down. And the reason for that is because the
Speaker 5: Democrats have nothing. Trump has outflanked them to the left
Speaker 5: on the economy, and he has outflanked them to the
Speaker 5: left on being anti war. And he's not even a
Speaker 5: social conservative, he's a moderate. So he basically stole the
Speaker 5: democrats pro working class agenda from under them, and they
Speaker 5: have nothing left to fight him with. All they have
Speaker 5: is what they're doing, which is let's go rescue the
Speaker 5: gang mangers, let's stand for China and oppose tariffs right
Speaker 5: and like let's try to get that border open again.
Speaker 5: It's so appalling.
Speaker 4: Bati Unga Sagon, thank you so much for your time tonight.
Speaker 5: Thank you so much for having.
Speaker 4: Me still to come, President Trump. Mox pop star Taylor
Speaker 4: Swift again.
Speaker 3: Kinsey Scofield is up next, Welcome back, Joining me now
Speaker 3: celebrity and royal commentator Kinsey Schofield. Kinsey lawyer Amal Clooney,
Speaker 3: the wife of George Clooney, could be banned from future
Speaker 3: visits to the US due to involvement in the International
Speaker 3: Criminal Court and it's vendetta against Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli
Speaker 3: Prime Minister.
Speaker 4: Is this a serious report?
Speaker 3: Where are these reports coming from?
Speaker 7: I mean, I think so. It's per the Financial Times,
Speaker 7: they say the UK Foreign Office reportedly recently warned lawyers
Speaker 7: including A Mall Clooney, specifically giving legal advice to the
Speaker 7: International Criminal Court, that they could face sanctions due to
Speaker 7: that February executive order from President Trump that said the
Speaker 7: United States will impose tangible and significant consequences on those
Speaker 7: responsible for the ICC's transgressions. Now they have homes in Italy,
Speaker 7: they have homes everywhere, so it's not like if she
Speaker 7: gets kicked out of the United States, she doesn't have
Speaker 7: somewhere else to go. But this does hinder Clooney's Broadway debut.
Speaker 3: Well, I just have trouble believing these reports. I'll wait
Speaker 3: and see, but I can't can't see her in handcuffs
Speaker 3: being led away and deported from the US just yet.
Speaker 3: Now we covered this left he is losing it. Earlier
Speaker 3: in the way, when the Philadelphia Eagles were at the
Speaker 3: White House celebrating their Super Bowl win and President Donald
Speaker 3: Trump did not miss the chance to mock Tyler Swift.
Speaker 9: It was an incredible game, a little surprising, but right
Speaker 9: from the beginning, in the first quarter of the Big Game,
Speaker 9: which I was there, I watched in person. I was
Speaker 9: there along with Taylor Swift. How did that work out?
Speaker 9: How did that one work out?
Speaker 4: Kinsey?
Speaker 3: Was he referring to the fact that she was booed
Speaker 3: at the Super Bowl and he got cheers.
Speaker 7: He was the hero that day, and Taylor's team lost
Speaker 7: as well. I don't know if Trump will ever forgive
Speaker 7: Taylor for endorsing multiple political opponents, but I do know
Speaker 7: that I never want to be on his bad side.
Speaker 7: I think the good news for Taylor is his insults
Speaker 7: are typically lighthearted and pretty hilarious. I'd rather be dodging
Speaker 7: shots from Trump than Kanye if I were in her position.
Speaker 4: It gave me a lo it was. I thought it
Speaker 4: was very amusing.
Speaker 3: Indeed the players had to laugh as well. And you
Speaker 3: know what, I remember when he said I hate Taylor
Speaker 3: Swift or something to that effect during the election campaign,
Speaker 3: and all these political pundits are like the elections over,
Speaker 3: he's just upset billions of swifties. And you know, they
Speaker 3: thought that was a serious moment in the election campaign.
Speaker 3: Of course it wasn't, and we discussed that at the time. Now,
Speaker 3: Travis Kelsey, Taylor's boyfriend. He's unfollowed Ryan Reynolds, who's married
Speaker 3: to Taylor's bestie. If you can follow all that, He's
Speaker 3: unfollowed him on Instagram. And there seems to be a
Speaker 3: feud of sorts happening between these two. Taylor Swift and
Speaker 3: Blake Lively are apparently fallen out, not BFFs as they were,
Speaker 3: and their partners.
Speaker 7: Also, Oh well, there's something more sinister being shared around
Speaker 7: the internett. I know you're shocked. You and I both
Speaker 7: witness the relentless Taylor and Travis sightings of twenty twenty
Speaker 7: three and twenty twenty four, which led to one of
Speaker 7: Travis's worst years professionally. Some are actually speculating that this story,
Speaker 7: combined with the fact that we aren't seeing Travis and
Speaker 7: Taylor together anymore, could mean that they've secretly split.
Speaker 4: Split Kinsey is surely not.
Speaker 3: I mean, we are planning weddings, children, This is a
Speaker 3: surely you're not going to have another split. And if
Speaker 3: there is a split, I think we need to have
Speaker 3: a best selling album accompanying the news.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we are ready for that record, but no official word.
Speaker 7: I mean, I just can't believe that we haven't seen
Speaker 7: them very much in twenty twenty five compared to what
Speaker 7: we saw in twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four.
Speaker 7: It was oversaturation, it was overwhelming, and now you never
Speaker 7: see them together. And Travis is constantly playing with the boys.
Speaker 3: And I think he knows it hasn't been fantastic for
Speaker 3: his game. Could be a coincidence that he had a
Speaker 3: poor season, but I think that is a big part
Speaker 3: of this. He wants to focus on football rather than
Speaker 3: being swifties plus one.
Speaker 4: Now, let's talk about this.
Speaker 3: Tucker Carlson interview with Meghan Kelly. He said that Michelle
Speaker 3: Obama hates her husband Barack and that it's people like
Speaker 3: her who are miserable in their personal lives that are
Speaker 3: a big part of what's wrong with modern society. Kinsey,
Speaker 3: I listened to that interview. It was a fascinating discussion
Speaker 3: between Tucker and Meghan Kelly.
Speaker 4: What do you make of it?
Speaker 3: And has there been much fallout from those claims from
Speaker 3: Tucker Carlson.
Speaker 7: I mean, I just watched Michelle do a Diary of
Speaker 7: a CEO or another podcast where she seems so dismissive
Speaker 7: of her husband. Tucker says, there's nothing more destabilizing than
Speaker 7: an unhappy marriage, and that's why he believes Michelle's life
Speaker 7: exemplifies why it's so important to folks.
Speaker 4: On your marriage.
Speaker 7: And he said it's not just her, It's become kind
Speaker 7: of a cultural thing, a whole class of people who
Speaker 7: are afflicted with the same restlessness and rage and emptiness,
Speaker 7: and that they're the ones that are racking our society.
Speaker 7: And I do think that it's important that you know,
Speaker 7: if you are married, you focus on continuing to keep.
Speaker 4: The love alive.
Speaker 3: Well, you know what what he said, isn't that dramatic
Speaker 3: if you've listened to what she has said.
Speaker 4: You mentioned that latest.
Speaker 3: Podcast, but even on her own podcast, She's talked about
Speaker 3: having unhappy periods in your marriage up to a decade,
Speaker 3: which took a lot of people by surprise, and just
Speaker 3: about everything she says about her marriage about Baraque himself
Speaker 3: is negative. So I think she should be shocked that
Speaker 3: people are perceiving that there's issues in that marriage. Now,
Speaker 3: let's go to Megan and Harry. There will never be
Speaker 3: issues in that little union. Inside as a Netflix saying
Speaker 3: that Meghan makel is being completely ignored by the executives there,
Speaker 3: what's going on?
Speaker 7: Okay? So, since Meghan's show flopped, bosses at Netflix have
Speaker 7: been quiet about their ongoing partnership. Remember Meghan called it
Speaker 7: a partnership. But despite being one of Netflix's most talked
Speaker 7: about employees, Meghan Markle's loose fruit spread didn't make the
Speaker 7: cut for the streamer's official restaurant in Vegas. It's called
Speaker 7: Netflix Bites, and it serves food inspired by some of
Speaker 7: their biggest shows, you know, like Bridgeton themed items, Regency
Speaker 7: Tee designed by Lady whistle doown herself. You've got fake royals,
Speaker 7: you literally work with a real one who's shilling jam?
Speaker 7: Why is that not on your menu? And apparently it's
Speaker 7: just that Netflix is exhausted with this woman and they're
Speaker 7: over it.
Speaker 3: Well, they've paid a lot of money for very little
Speaker 3: in return. Has been a very poor decision indeed by
Speaker 3: Netflix to invest so heavily in this couple and on
Speaker 3: Harry and Meghan are Royal Insider has told Page six
Speaker 3: that Meghan hates the royal family, she doesn't like the
Speaker 3: UK and yet she continues to talk about her royal
Speaker 3: titles and use them for personal gain. The Sussexes agreed
Speaker 3: not to use those titles as part of their negotiations
Speaker 3: with the late Queen when they were leaving the family,
Speaker 3: leaving being working royals. Are they flouting that agreement that
Speaker 3: they struck with the Queen?
Speaker 7: They absolutely are. I mean, in the last few weeks,
Speaker 7: I think you and I have discussed her posting the
Speaker 7: Yuke with the message from Ukraine where they address her
Speaker 7: as hr each. Now we're seeing her sending gift baskets
Speaker 7: with her chrch title. You know they're in this article.
Speaker 7: It's actually hilarious because they lest off the other things
Speaker 7: you're allowed to call her if you're in her presence,
Speaker 7: EACHR each Princess Meghan, Duchess, Meghan and the Duchess of
Speaker 7: Sussex are her preferred titles. But you know what, when
Speaker 7: you have a reputation built on sand, you got to
Speaker 7: milk the royal family for all you got.
Speaker 3: Kinsiscophiel, thank you for your time tonight, and that's all
Speaker 3: the time we have. I'll see you tomorrow night at
Speaker 3: nine pm four Lifties, Losing It News Night is up
Speaker 3: next
