Speaker 1: On scorn loves Oustrodia. This is the Wider Panalty Show.
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the reader Panekey Show.
Speaker 3: Coming up tonight, the winners and losers of the Coalition
Speaker 3: Split TENA McQueen and Primcswee will join me to discuss
Speaker 3: the day's top headlines, including the ABC's gender wage gap,
Speaker 3: is the float of public broadcast that guilty of discriminating
Speaker 3: against females. Premieruson to Adam left fuming after a stuff that.
Speaker 2: Saw cow poo dumped at her office. I'll speak to
Speaker 2: the Liberal.
Speaker 3: MP accused of facilitating that little stunt. Me Horowitz will
Speaker 3: join me with the latest from the US, including revelations
Speaker 3: that Hunter Biden wield its significant power in the Biden
Speaker 3: White House and left these losing It features the ladies
Speaker 3: of the view struggling to cope with reality.
Speaker 1: If you're telling me that hundreds of people I knew
Speaker 1: that he was not able.
Speaker 4: To do his job, then where the hell was?
Speaker 3: But first to the death of the Modern Day Coalition,
Speaker 3: which met its bitter end yesterday following a breakdown in
Speaker 3: negotiations between the Liberal and National parties. The Nationals leadership team,
Speaker 3: consisting of David Little Proud, Bridget Mackenzie and Kevin Hogan
Speaker 3: pull the pin on the coalition after Liberal leader Susan
Speaker 3: Lee refused to agree to the National's list of four
Speaker 3: non negotiables. These were nuclear energies, supermarket divestiture, the twenty
Speaker 3: billion Regional Future Fund, and universal service obligations to ensure
Speaker 3: reliable mobile phone coverage in regional areas. The end of
Speaker 3: the coalition comes as many National MPs expressed their anger
Speaker 3: at the fact that their party signed up to net
Speaker 3: zero obligations, and as the Australian reports, was especially apparent
Speaker 3: in yesterday's decision because the final trigger for David Little
Speaker 3: Proud and his team was the fact that the Liberal
Speaker 3: leader said she could not agree to a request from
Speaker 3: mister Little Proud, allowing his shadow cabinet ministers a free
Speaker 3: vote on contentious issues, including net zero emissions by twenty fifty.
Speaker 3: Joining me now for more on this as Sky News
Speaker 3: contributors pri McSween and Tina McQueen Tina, is this a
Speaker 3: case of disunity leading to death? Is this the end
Speaker 3: of Conservatives in Australia? Oh?
Speaker 5: Look, I hope not.
Speaker 6: I think it's been done out of sure prostration to
Speaker 6: be honest reata. This has been you know, on the
Speaker 6: card since Turnbulls leadership of the Liberal Party.
Speaker 5: You know, that started to drag the party to the left.
Speaker 6: And then continued, we haven't we haven't been there to
Speaker 6: support our base with strong conservative views.
Speaker 5: And I think then that's rightly.
Speaker 6: So I said, you know enough, I've had enough, particularly
Speaker 6: things like phone coverage. Seems like a little thing, but
Speaker 6: as someone with a daughter living in the car, I travel,
Speaker 6: you know, two hours of my four hour journey there
Speaker 6: is no phone coverage. So but I can tell you Riata,
Speaker 6: there's been a lot of Liberal donors that donate a
Speaker 6: Liberal Party that have contacted me specifically offering their support
Speaker 6: to Matt Canaban. There's a lot of support out there
Speaker 6: for Matt Canaban and where the National stands at the moment.
Speaker 6: So you know, look, clearly, ideally they have to get
Speaker 6: together to form government at some stage for the next
Speaker 6: election if they hope to win.
Speaker 5: But you know, I admire the Nationals.
Speaker 6: Some of them are giving up money, you know, have
Speaker 6: a massive drop in pay. Now we stand on a
Speaker 6: principle and I think that's you know, I take my
Speaker 6: hat off to that and that shows a true politician
Speaker 6: of conviction.
Speaker 3: That's a very good point there, Prue. It's been under reporter.
Speaker 3: They are going to be pay cuts here, and you
Speaker 3: don't see politicians often opting for a pay cut, but
Speaker 3: that's what they're doing, and they're doing it on principle.
Speaker 7: Well, it's nice to see people politicians with principle for
Speaker 7: a change. It's not just a pay cut, of course, it'll.
Speaker 5: Be a staff cut.
Speaker 7: So they're really a lot of people have been saying
Speaker 7: they're just posturing and you know, spoiled brats and you know,
Speaker 7: playing to their constituents. But I think it had to happen,
Speaker 7: and I don't believe that you can trust that Susan
Speaker 7: Lee who started off. I was impressed with her first speech,
Speaker 7: but we know that she's woke, we know that she's
Speaker 7: a wet We know that the moderates, you know, Photius
Speaker 7: has his tentacles everywhere within the liberals, and so many
Speaker 7: of them want to take it to the left, to
Speaker 7: the center left, and that of course will spell you know,
Speaker 7: incredibly bad news for the true conservative voter. So I
Speaker 7: think it was great that Matt Canavan sort of was
Speaker 7: the person who threw the grenade in I think little
Speaker 7: proud if he continues supporting net zero is a dead
Speaker 7: man walking. It's time for the Liberals to wake up
Speaker 7: to themselves and not even consider drifting to the moderate
Speaker 7: side a labor light. And they need to get their
Speaker 7: finger out and start announcing policies that are going to
Speaker 7: better reflect their core constituents who are conservatives.
Speaker 6: Reader, Can I just add if the Nationals ran in
Speaker 6: Susan Lee an Angus.
Speaker 5: Taylor's seat, they would win.
Speaker 6: So I think Susan Ly and Angus Taylor are going
Speaker 6: to have to carefully consider their options.
Speaker 5: I have no doubt that Nationals will win both those seats.
Speaker 3: Well, let's talk about that, but first about the path
Speaker 3: to reconciliation. There are liberal parties storewards urging for the
Speaker 3: reconciliation to happen very quickly. Former Prime Minister John Howard
Speaker 3: is one of those storeboards. He told the Australian Financial Review.
Speaker 3: My advice is to reform as soon as possible and
Speaker 3: resolve their policy differences within the framework of a coalition.
Speaker 3: If they are separated for too long, they will increase
Speaker 3: their differences and make resolution more difficult.
Speaker 2: But that is looking unlikely.
Speaker 3: Mid suggestions that David Little Proud and Susan Lee do
Speaker 3: not like each other. The Australian reports Susan Lee intends
Speaker 3: not to reform a coalition with David Little Proud's Nationals
Speaker 3: before the twenty twenty eight election.
Speaker 2: Tina, what is that going to mean? It would an
Speaker 2: extended period of.
Speaker 3: A split that last three years perhaps beyond. See these
Speaker 3: two parties become too dramatically different. See the Nationals really
Speaker 3: go back to their roots and see the Liberals become
Speaker 3: some sort of teal alternative which is not going to
Speaker 3: be appealing to the bulk of the country.
Speaker 6: No, if the Liberals go down the till track, it's
Speaker 6: going to be disaster, you know, they just they'll be
Speaker 6: non existent. Look, maybe if these two leaders, who I
Speaker 6: really think don't they don't get on, perhaps there may
Speaker 6: be a change in leadership for.
Speaker 5: Both parties to resolve this issue. I mean, who knows.
Speaker 6: But clearly common sense and anyone with half a brain
Speaker 6: knows that the coalition has to exist with it.
Speaker 5: As I said, any hope to form government, but very
Speaker 5: very stubborn.
Speaker 6: But honestly, the left of the party cannot, the left
Speaker 6: of the Liberal Party cannot take over or will be doomed.
Speaker 5: So I say, you know, good.
Speaker 6: On the Nats and hopefully there's enough people in the
Speaker 6: Liberal Party that will look after their conservative base. Prue,
Speaker 6: can you see that happening leadership changes at both parties
Speaker 6: If you did have a Matt Canavan led Nationals and
Speaker 6: a Angus Taylor led Liberal Party, you can see that
Speaker 6: reconciliation happening quite easily, and hopefully walking away from policies
Speaker 6: like net zero and giving Australians a real choice it
Speaker 6: an election, not just being shadows of or echoes of labor.
Speaker 7: Well, I certainly think Matt Canavan is the man for
Speaker 7: the job. I've got my juries out in Angus Taylor
Speaker 7: because well it's no doubt very bright, he's not great
Speaker 7: at prosecuting an argument, so he's you know, and I
Speaker 7: like Ted O'Brien although you know he is a moderate,
Speaker 7: which worries me. But I thought he was very impressive
Speaker 7: during the nuclear debate.
Speaker 2: But you know, he's yet to be proven.
Speaker 7: I mean, if he's going to be one of those,
Speaker 7: you know, even a hidden woke moderate within the ranks,
Speaker 7: and that wouldn't work. So I believe it's going to
Speaker 7: mean that they will have to have a change of leadership,
Speaker 7: and I think that Little Proud and Lee are probably
Speaker 7: dead people walking.
Speaker 6: The other death nel reta for Susan Lee would be
Speaker 6: if she introduces quotas. Now, I was wildly misreported in
Speaker 6: a newspaper at the weekend saying I supported quotas with
Speaker 6: nothing for the truth, absolute rubbish. But if she attempts
Speaker 6: to introduce quote quotas, I'll be one of the first
Speaker 6: women to walk away from Liberal Party myself and join
Speaker 6: the NATS.
Speaker 8: Good.
Speaker 3: She can't go down that worad surely, But Tina, I know,
Speaker 3: and it's again, and she's got a history of flip
Speaker 3: flopping on just about every issue, so God knows where she's.
Speaker 2: Going to land.
Speaker 3: But if there isn't a reconciliation here, Tina, can you
Speaker 3: see the Nationals running candidates in her seat?
Speaker 2: Can you see the.
Speaker 3: Nationals un seating possibly the opposition leader in an election.
Speaker 6: Look, it'll depends on their fundraising capabilities. And as I said,
Speaker 6: the people that have contacted me are offering former Liberal
Speaker 6: donors offering to support Matt Cannaban and the Nationals. I'm
Speaker 6: quite alarmed at if they have the budget to do it.
Speaker 6: They will run in those seats. They will running as
Speaker 6: many seats as possible. And like I said, I mean
Speaker 6: Susan Lease seat, what's formerly a National seat.
Speaker 5: It's only the Cohen should deal.
Speaker 6: Got no National ran in her seat, but Susan Lee's there,
Speaker 6: so she knows herself that the Nationals would absolutely take
Speaker 6: over her seat, and Angus Taylor as well. Now, pro
Speaker 6: you mentioned Ted O'Brian, and this is further proof that
Speaker 6: Liberals and Nationals aren't on very good terms right now.
Speaker 6: The Deputy Opposition leader Ted O'Brien decided last minute to
Speaker 6: pull out of a joint TV appearance with National Senator
Speaker 6: Matt Canavan earlier this day.
Speaker 9: We asked Deputy liberally Ted O'Brien on the show last
Speaker 9: night and he agreed this morning at a courtesy, we
Speaker 9: told him Matt Canavan was coming on too. All seems okay,
Speaker 9: and then twenty minutes ago his team rang saying he
Speaker 9: won't come on with Canadan. I mean, you can't make
Speaker 9: it up. It's like maths the canber edition. Matt Canavan
Speaker 9: is in the house. They made a good morning to you.
Speaker 9: Nice to see this one morning, Carl. How'd your sleep
Speaker 9: last night?
Speaker 2: I'm not bad, mate.
Speaker 3: Carl Stephanovic compared that to an addition of maths.
Speaker 2: Tina, what was that about?
Speaker 3: Why would he refuse to appear on a program with
Speaker 3: Matt Canavan?
Speaker 6: Well, Carl's implying there some lover stiff, you know, some breakup.
Speaker 5: I think.
Speaker 6: Look, Matt is a star performer, he knows his stuff.
Speaker 6: I do think there'd be a little bit nervousness in
Speaker 6: Tet O'Brien that he would say the wrong thing and
Speaker 6: goof up.
Speaker 5: But that's a cowardly.
Speaker 6: Thing to do twenty minutes prior to appearance on a show,
Speaker 6: because I tell you one thing, Matt Canavan will never
Speaker 6: back down from a fight.
Speaker 3: No, you would be appearing on a program with anybody
Speaker 3: from Sarah Hanson Young to.
Speaker 2: Tedo Brian. Bizarre. Bizarre.
Speaker 3: Now let's have a look at how some of the
Speaker 3: leftist papers are reacting to the split. The Sydney Morning
Speaker 3: Herald has gone with this angle, claiming the Nationals once
Speaker 3: got their way because they argued their corner and didn't
Speaker 3: make empty threats. The Junior Coalition Party is reduced to
Speaker 3: a juvenile outfit. That seems a bit harsh prove given
Speaker 3: that they did pretty well at the recent election. It
Speaker 3: was the Liberals who failed comprehensively. The Nationals seem to
Speaker 3: know who they are a lot more than the Liberals
Speaker 3: who have got this identity crisis at the moment.
Speaker 7: Look, the credibility of these media outlets has just gone
Speaker 7: down the toilet, you know when you look at of
Speaker 7: course they're going to blame the Nats and take that
Speaker 7: stance because they've all got agendas. Now most journalists have
Speaker 7: agendas who are writing for these lefty papers.
Speaker 3: Tina, you could have a situation where you know that
Speaker 3: the gap between the parties is an enormous now with
Speaker 3: the number of seats they hold, so you could have
Speaker 3: the Nationals holding more seats and being the official opposition
Speaker 3: party compared to the Liberals. I mean that is not
Speaker 3: beyond the realms of possibility.
Speaker 2: No, not at all.
Speaker 6: I mean you've only got to look at Nigel Farage
Speaker 6: what he's done, you know, And I think the Nationals
Speaker 6: have been following that closely as well, and I think
Speaker 6: has given them the confidence to really dig in their
Speaker 6: heels and stand on their principles and realize that they
Speaker 6: can win over Because as you said, they performed very.
Speaker 5: Well in the federal election.
Speaker 6: I have no doubt they're eyeing off a number of
Speaker 6: seats they can pick up and doing their numbers closely.
Speaker 6: And I think the lefty, as the lefties in the
Speaker 6: Liberal Party, have to acknowledge this and be very careful
Speaker 6: of the direction they take.
Speaker 2: Rita.
Speaker 3: Now moving on to other issues, the ABC is failing
Speaker 3: to walk the talk when it comes to gender equality.
Speaker 3: You see, there's a Workplace Gender Equality Agency data released
Speaker 3: today and it shows that the ABC has a median
Speaker 3: gender pay gap of nine point eight percent favoring men. However,
Speaker 3: the same agency are revealed last year that Sky News
Speaker 3: Australia does not have a gender pay gap. In fact,
Speaker 3: the women here are paid slightly more than men on average,
Speaker 3: just one percent more. Pro looks like the ABC perhaps
Speaker 3: needs to launch an investigation into the ABC well.
Speaker 5: On this and many other things.
Speaker 2: Rita.
Speaker 7: You know, but they can't even define what a woman is,
Speaker 7: So how do they know, you know, what the disparity is?
Speaker 7: You know, I mean maybe they you know, they're just
Speaker 7: deluded by it all. I just find it amusing that
Speaker 7: the one organization that they hate most guy is leading
Speaker 7: the way. They're just you know, the hypocrites, their bedweathers.
Speaker 7: They're pathetic. We know that the quicker that can become cold, see.
Speaker 2: Tina.
Speaker 3: Could we see a policy shift from the coalition if
Speaker 3: it becomes the coalition again, certainly you would accept, expect,
Speaker 3: hopefully the Nationals to take a stronger life and against
Speaker 3: the public broadcast because we've seen the Liberals in power
Speaker 3: and they've done nothing to curb.
Speaker 2: The ABC's activism or.
Speaker 3: Even hold them accountable for not living up to their
Speaker 3: own rules. I mean, they're the ones who are pushing
Speaker 3: this gender wage gap nonsense constantly, but they don't practice
Speaker 3: it themselves.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Look, we wasted a lot of years in power not
Speaker 6: doing a thing. I mean, Tony have at once one
Speaker 6: thing where no minister was allowed to appear.
Speaker 5: On the ABC. But you know you need to hit
Speaker 5: them where it hurts. It's just ridiculous.
Speaker 6: I do think the Coalition formed government, we do need
Speaker 6: to slash that ABC budget. No one watches it. It's
Speaker 6: of no use, not even the regional areas, where most
Speaker 6: regional areas would much prefer. And the study show Sky
Speaker 6: is much more popular in the regional areas now than
Speaker 6: the ABC, so they serve no purpose anywhere.
Speaker 2: Make them subscription tolerance. That's right, Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 3: You want to if you want to view it, you
Speaker 3: for it like you do with Sky News.
Speaker 2: And many other options.
Speaker 3: Now, a new Salvation Army survey has revealed some shocking
Speaker 3: data of the This was a survey of vulnerable South
Speaker 3: Australians and more than half of those surveys said they
Speaker 3: are skipping meals, while nearly a quarter eating expired or
Speaker 3: spoiled food in order to make ends meat, fifty six
Speaker 3: percent said they were skipping meals so that children could
Speaker 3: eat and Tina. Shockingly, pensioners are talking about opting for
Speaker 3: cat food or dog food because that's the only way
Speaker 3: they're going to get any sort of nutrition. I mean,
Speaker 3: this is just shocking to read about in a first
Speaker 3: world country.
Speaker 5: It's terrible reader.
Speaker 6: It really saddens my heart. But it's no surprise. And
Speaker 6: this isn't just a recent thing. This has been happening
Speaker 6: for a few years now where I live in Sydney,
Speaker 6: across the road in the park, and it breaks my
Speaker 6: heart every time, and I will make the effort. This
Speaker 6: evening there's a woman living in a tent, an elderly woman,
Speaker 6: and I thought maybe it was just a one or
Speaker 6: two night. I've been told she's been there for weeks,
Speaker 6: so this is really really shocking. There are more and
Speaker 6: all homeless people when you walk up George Street around
Speaker 6: Circular Key.
Speaker 5: We've got Vivid starting soon.
Speaker 6: I don't know what these pool buggers are going to do,
Speaker 6: because many of them the only shelter they get. But
Speaker 6: the pensions have been incredibly hard hit and for a
Speaker 6: long time have been resorting to eating very little, as
Speaker 6: you say, you know, dog or cat food.
Speaker 3: It's disgraceful, absolutely just absolutely appalling. Before your ladies go,
Speaker 3: I want to just bring you some international news. Italian
Speaker 3: Prime Minister Georgia Maloney had a massive diplomatic wins. She
Speaker 3: hosted a key trilateral meeting between the US Vice President
Speaker 3: JD Vance and the EU Commission and President Ursula von
Speaker 3: der Layan, and she's also now backing Tina Donald Trump's
Speaker 3: suggestion that the Vatican could help mediate talks between Ukraine
Speaker 3: and Russia. This is quite a starring role for Maloney. Tina,
Speaker 3: she is offering a assistance in that she's back Trump's proposal,
Speaker 3: and she's really become the crucial leader in Europe right now,
Speaker 3: particularly in.
Speaker 2: Trade talks with the US RITA.
Speaker 5: She deserves his starring role.
Speaker 6: She's been a really great leader, and she's you know,
Speaker 6: she's always been an admirer and understood what Trump is
Speaker 6: doing and trying to do. And I think she'll play
Speaker 6: a crucial role moving forward. And I'm sure her and JD.
Speaker 6: Bans got on remarkably well. And hopefully with her pressure
Speaker 6: and the assistance of Trump and the input of the
Speaker 6: Pope that finally something can happen.
Speaker 3: I remember when she was elected, the coverage in the.
Speaker 2: Western media was disgusting.
Speaker 3: They were painting her as some extremist, some threat to democracy,
Speaker 3: some radical fascist woman, and she's nothing of the sort.
Speaker 3: And she's proved that and she's possibly the most popular
Speaker 3: leader in Europe right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Well, of course, anybody that they can crucify, they'll do
Speaker 7: and call a fascist, you know what they're like. She
Speaker 7: is so impressive. I just wish we had a Maloney here.
Speaker 7: We need someone to come in and kick some ass,
Speaker 7: you know, have balls and backbone and understand that most people,
Speaker 7: really thinking people she would represent and Susan Lee, the
Speaker 7: liberals need to understand that this is what resonates with people,
Speaker 7: not this kind of woke nonsense.
Speaker 2: And they also need to understand.
Speaker 7: That in three years time, when again the cost living
Speaker 7: there'll be more people on the streets, the cost of
Speaker 7: living is going to really impact even more because of
Speaker 7: the energy disgrace of Bowen that you know, they're barking
Speaker 7: up the wrong tree, people will be really wanting and Noel,
Speaker 7: let's hope they Let's hope they wake up to those realities.
Speaker 7: We're living high pro McSween teena McQueen, thank you so
Speaker 7: much for your time tonight.
Speaker 2: Still toy karma.
Speaker 3: Lefties losing it past the latest from the US, including
Speaker 3: revelations that Hunter Biden wielded significant power.
Speaker 2: In the Biden White House. Army Horowitz joins me.
Speaker 3: Next, you're watching the Reader Panny Show, and it's time
Speaker 3: for lefties losing it And how do we get this
Speaker 3: deep into the wag without some input from the ladies
Speaker 3: of the view. And these miserable maidens are losing their
Speaker 3: teeny tiny minds again about Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: Eighty three, So he's a little stumbling, he's a little rumby.
Speaker 1: I can't point to anything that he's done as present
Speaker 1: that he did, but I want somebody to tell me, well,
Speaker 1: when did you know it was bad?
Speaker 2: If you knew, why did you wait?
Speaker 10: So he said that it was after moderated the debate.
Speaker 4: Yes, but I'm sorry, baby, that's not what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: If you're telling me.
Speaker 1: That hundreds of people people knew that he was not
Speaker 1: able to do his job, then where the hell was everybody?
Speaker 3: Hundreds of people will bee hundreds of millions of people
Speaker 3: around the world who don't get their news from leftist
Speaker 3: lies like you knew about Joe Biden's cognitive decline. They
Speaker 3: knew it was real and it made him unfit for offers.
Speaker 3: I've been covering it on this station for more than
Speaker 3: five years. Let's just have around twenty seconds of President
Speaker 3: Applesauce Prudent's cryptocher.
Speaker 11: Yeah, America is a nation that can be defined in
Speaker 11: a single word.
Speaker 1: Him the idea that Los Angeles and and uh, what
Speaker 1: am I doing here?
Speaker 2: I don't know what you were doing that? I don't
Speaker 2: know how whoop? He missed all that.
Speaker 3: It was only around a week ago when Joe Biden
Speaker 3: and Chief Elder Abusa Jill were on the view to
Speaker 3: try to dispel any notions of his feeble mental state.
Speaker 2: It did not go well or the.
Speaker 12: Project the benefits.
Speaker 13: How do you lead the world having best instructional How
Speaker 13: do you lead the world but that of the best healthcarenral.
Speaker 3: But we can hardly expect any level of integrity or
Speaker 3: consistency from the ladies of the view. And let's stay
Speaker 3: on whoop be gold work because remember when she said
Speaker 3: this before the election, disputing the notion that Donald Trump
Speaker 3: and the Republicans were pro family.
Speaker 4: The thing that really pisses me off about this is,
Speaker 4: you know, if you all really cared about children, where
Speaker 4: are the tax credits? Where's the paid family leave?
Speaker 5: Where's the free house clock?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 2: Yep, she's demanding tax credits.
Speaker 3: But now that the Trump administration is coming through with
Speaker 3: some relief, she ain't happy.
Speaker 4: So as birth rates continue to decline in America, the
Speaker 4: White House is looking into offering five thousand dollars cash
Speaker 4: bonuses expanded access to IVF, along with other incentives for
Speaker 4: women to have more babies.
Speaker 5: Why and okay, I am in incredibly insulted.
Speaker 4: Because clearly they don't know how women's bodies work.
Speaker 2: She's so insufferable, isn't she?
Speaker 3: And yes, Wellee I'm sure it's Republicans who don't know
Speaker 3: how women's bodies work, not your ilk who claim women
Speaker 3: can have penises and men can breastfeed. But how interesting
Speaker 3: that you are insulted, You are enraged by the very
Speaker 3: tax credits you were demanding. Now she's mocking the five
Speaker 3: thousand dollar benefit because that's nothing. Well, what's that going
Speaker 3: to cover lunch?
Speaker 4: I don't know what five thousand dollars is supposed to do.
Speaker 5: And it's not even five thousand.
Speaker 4: Dollars because you have cut it in half cuse you
Speaker 4: got paid.
Speaker 5: Taxes on it. Yeah, so they're offering you twenty five
Speaker 5: hundred dollars.
Speaker 3: They're just the worst, aren't they? Now talking about miserable maidens?
Speaker 2: Here is Hillary Clinton being Hillary Clinton? Ie awful?
Speaker 7: Did do you have the first female president of the
Speaker 7: United States?
Speaker 14: Well, first of all, don't be a handmaiden to the patriarchy,
Speaker 14: which kind of eliminates every woman on the other side.
Speaker 3: Of the aisle handmaidens for the patriarchy. That's how Hillary
Speaker 3: describes Republican women, except for someone like Liz Cheney.
Speaker 2: Because someone as awful as Hillary.
Speaker 3: You know, it's a little rich for the woman who
Speaker 3: allowed herself to be repeatedly humiliated over and over again,
Speaker 3: over and over again. Would Bill Clinton's wild philandering affair
Speaker 3: after affair, Monica Paula, Jennifer Kathleen, The list goes on.
Speaker 3: And I'm not even touching on his association with Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 3: Never forget that this was the painting in prime position
Speaker 3: in Jeffrey Epstein's And through all of that humiliation, Hillary
Speaker 3: stood by her philandering man. Want to talk about a
Speaker 3: handmaiden for the patriarchy, Look in the mirror, love. Now
Speaker 3: let's go to Colorado and check in with how the
Speaker 3: Democrats are faring. This is Colorado State Senator Chris Kolka,
Speaker 3: who says he is accountable to God and that's why
Speaker 3: he's standing up for equality and trans Jesus trans.
Speaker 11: What I'm accountable to, Almighty God because I'm standing up
Speaker 11: for equality. Well, my dear judgment, I might be standing
Speaker 11: in front of treans Jesus, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2: That's what I believe.
Speaker 11: And I believe that Jesus God, we'll look at me
Speaker 11: and say you should do it up for people.
Speaker 3: Now to Jake Tappa's new book, Original Sin on President
Speaker 3: Biden's decline and its cover up covered up by the
Speaker 3: likes of Jake Tappa. We haven't forgotten Jake, but he's
Speaker 3: on the book tour and his fellow lefties are treating
Speaker 3: these revelations on Biden's decline like it's breaking news. One
Speaker 3: interesting note, again, something those on the right have pointed
Speaker 3: out for some time is the Biden family's dodgy business
Speaker 3: stealings involving Hunter Biden, often whose influence extended to the
Speaker 3: Oval Office. Indeed, was America being unwittingly led by this guy.
Speaker 15: Just the term crack commandments, all these rules you'll have
Speaker 15: Mad bretton WM if not for twenty four years on
Speaker 15: the Week Up.
Speaker 3: Good Lord, Let's hear what CNN anchor Jake Tapper has
Speaker 3: to say.
Speaker 12: How big a factor was the Hunter stuff? I think
Speaker 12: it was considerable. I think Hunter was driving the decision
Speaker 12: making for the family in a way that people he
Speaker 12: was almost like a chief of staff of the fanis.
Speaker 2: Does that strike you as pretty bizarre?
Speaker 12: It's bizarre because I think he is provably demonstrably unethical, sleazy,
Speaker 12: and prone to horrible decisions. I mean, tell me how
Speaker 12: you really feel, well, I mean, I just just look
Speaker 12: at the record. I mean, after his brother died, he
Speaker 12: cheated on his wife with his brother's widow and then
Speaker 12: got her addicted to crack.
Speaker 3: Just for beginners joining me now for more on this
Speaker 3: is filmmaker Army Horoid's army.
Speaker 2: What do you make of that? Who was running the country?
Speaker 2: Was it Jill? Was it Hunt?
Speaker 3: Or was it the faceless men and women pulling Joe's strings? Yeah?
Speaker 13: Well, a lot has been written about it, and a
Speaker 13: lot more will be written about it going forward. But
Speaker 13: it seems like there was like a pullet bureau of
Speaker 13: less than a dozen people, five to eight people who
Speaker 13: were in fact what in the country. Look, I want
Speaker 13: to point out that the concertutional powers given the president
Speaker 13: are given to only one person, the president. The president
Speaker 13: himself can't even delegate it to other people if he
Speaker 13: wanted to, certainly can't do it if he doesn't have
Speaker 13: the wherewithal to do it himself.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 13: No, this is the party of democracy, the party of
Speaker 13: fall the Constitution. Yet they were undermining democracy, undermine the
Speaker 13: constitution by running the country essentially by say, behind his back,
Speaker 13: but it was in front of his face, and he
Speaker 13: couldn't realize what was going on. H This is a
Speaker 13: significant and massive legal problem that needs to be sorted out.
Speaker 13: And look, first and foremost among the prince lings, where
Speaker 13: of course Jill Biden and Hunter Biden. And I don't
Speaker 13: have to go look, you did that montage. I don't
Speaker 13: have to go into who Hunter Biden was. We all
Speaker 13: know he was doing crack cocaine off the back of hookers, right,
Speaker 13: I mean, I don't have to go on and on
Speaker 13: about what he was doing in his private life. Yet
Speaker 13: he was.
Speaker 8: Wed.
Speaker 13: You just showed it, right, I mean, that was a
Speaker 13: really great montage of the Biden's life. Look, Hunter Biden
Speaker 13: was in cabinet, was in Oval office meetings, very high
Speaker 13: level over Oval office meetings. So it was Joe Biden.
Speaker 13: I think the whole country needs to be worried about that. Obviously,
Speaker 13: who had controlled the auto pen is another question, right,
Speaker 13: who was the person in fact signing these bills, signing
Speaker 13: these pardons. It seems like it wasn't. It wasn't Joe
Speaker 13: Biden the auto pen. While yes, one is allowed to
Speaker 13: use an autopen, which is essentially for those who don't know,
Speaker 13: the president has to sign all these things physically, But
Speaker 13: there has been a tradition of using this automatic pen
Speaker 13: that signed his name. As long as he is there
Speaker 13: and watching it happen, who had control of it, we
Speaker 13: don't know. And by the way, just so we're totally clear,
Speaker 13: Biden ran, and this actually adds is a very interesting question.
Speaker 13: Biden ran as a moderate. Biden his whole career prior
Speaker 13: to being president was in fact moderate. Yet the whole
Speaker 13: country termed hard left, the administrator hard left. While he's
Speaker 13: being present, we all scratched our heads and said, it
Speaker 13: doesn't seem like who Joe Biden was. Well, now we
Speaker 13: know that there was a cabal of people and it's
Speaker 13: administration who were part of the hard left, who were
Speaker 13: controlling what was going on. I think this is becoming clear.
Speaker 13: This is an absolute scandal of historic proportions.
Speaker 3: Reader, that is well said, a scandal of historic proportions.
Speaker 3: But back on the book, Jake Tapper has put out
Speaker 3: he's admitted on Meghan Kelly's program he was being promoting
Speaker 3: the book everywhere, and he admitted to her that he
Speaker 3: has apologized to Lara Trump for dismissing her in a
Speaker 3: really quite a hostile manner when she raised issues about
Speaker 3: Joe Biden's cognitive decline back in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: Have a look.
Speaker 1: I think what we see on stage with Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: Jake is very clearly a cognitive decline.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm referring to. It makes me uncomfortable.
Speaker 10: You have no I think it's so amazing. It's so
Speaker 10: amazing to me that try and figure out an answer
Speaker 10: a cognitive decline.
Speaker 2: You need to tell me that what I was suggesting.
Speaker 10: Was I think that you were marking his stutter. Yeah,
Speaker 10: I think you were marking his stutter. And I think
Speaker 10: you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline.
Speaker 2: It's all well.
Speaker 3: And good to apologize and to be making these revelations now, Army,
Speaker 3: but it's too little, too late in my book, And
Speaker 3: Jake Tapper was still covering up Biden's cognitive decline last year,
Speaker 3: almost right up until he dropped out of the reelection race.
Speaker 3: So what credibility does he have and what damage is
Speaker 3: this book going to do to Joe Biden's legacy.
Speaker 2: Because it does seem to be.
Speaker 3: Large suedes of the country who watch CNN, MSNBC and
Speaker 3: other leftist media who are surprised by these revelations who
Speaker 3: seemed to have completely missed what the rest of us
Speaker 3: have been reporting for the last five years.
Speaker 13: I mean, the answer is is right, is self evident
Speaker 13: that the media has no credibility? Right the debt If
Speaker 13: one goes in Ford history and says, okay, media died
Speaker 13: in America, and they point to when that happened, It
Speaker 13: happened during the Biden presidency. It happened when they were
Speaker 13: covering up for what they knew was his inability to govern.
Speaker 13: And of course when they covered they try to cover
Speaker 13: it up even after that debate, which is when it
Speaker 13: actually all the you know, it all blew open. Look,
Speaker 13: the question is where do we go from here?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 13: How are they going to look at Republican conspiracy theories
Speaker 13: moving forward? Right, whether or not as Republicans talking about
Speaker 13: how the media has conspired on Russia Gate and Russia
Speaker 13: Russia Russia, or our crazy idea that COVID came from
Speaker 13: a lab in Wuhan, right, or that BLM wasn't really
Speaker 13: exactly mostly peaceful. These are all crazy conspiracy theories, right,
Speaker 13: every single one of them obvious he proved true. The
Speaker 13: question is how they entreat the conspiracy theories of the
Speaker 13: right going forward, and Rita, I gotta admit I highly
Speaker 13: doubt that they're going to take them anywhere seriously than
Speaker 13: they took them before, even though they were proven to
Speaker 13: be wrong, and the conspiracy theorists have proven to me
Speaker 13: right time and time and time again. Look, they're still
Speaker 13: doubling down this. Nothing has changed. I mean, Hakim Jeffries
Speaker 13: just talked about how it's a conspiracy theory that we're
Speaker 13: saying that they may have known he had debilitating cancer
Speaker 13: while he was president. Or David Axelrod saying that we
Speaker 13: need to put criticism aside right now, right and asking
Speaker 13: questions aside right now. No, David, this is exactly when
Speaker 13: we have to be asking questions. This is when we
Speaker 13: should be pushing this issue right. No, they have not
Speaker 13: given up the ghost. They are not contrite. They are
Speaker 13: push forward with this and the whole and all of
Speaker 13: America and the world to understand what we're dealing with
Speaker 13: when it comes to the media and how they view this.
Speaker 13: And by the way, I don't think there's any small
Speaker 13: you know, I think there's a connection between the fact
Speaker 13: that we're seeing this happen right these stories are coming
Speaker 13: out and Trump's approval rating are actually spiking for the
Speaker 13: first time. I think people are looking at what the
Speaker 13: quote unquote president was before and the president now and say,
Speaker 13: I think we have a pretty good comparitive. We had
Speaker 13: four years of last four years, So yeah, I think
Speaker 13: there's a connection there.
Speaker 3: And you make an excellent point on the timing of
Speaker 3: this cancer diagnosis, because again this will be called a
Speaker 3: right wing conspiracy theory, but I would suggest the majority
Speaker 3: of Americans at this point don't believe the official narrative
Speaker 3: that that only discovered in recent days that this advanced
Speaker 3: cancer exists.
Speaker 2: In fact, a number of experts have come out and said.
Speaker 3: That's almost impossible to believe, given he is the president
Speaker 3: who would be subjected to regular health checkups, fairly thorough checkups.
Speaker 3: And it's just to me army, mind blowing that Joe
Speaker 3: Biden's family.
Speaker 2: Seeing his mental and physical.
Speaker 3: Decline, wanted him to run again, wanted him to serve
Speaker 3: four more years, and the Democrat machinery were happy to
Speaker 3: help him do that until that disastrous debate performance.
Speaker 2: It's almost cruel.
Speaker 3: I mean, put aside everything else, the lack of transparency,
Speaker 3: all the constitutional issues, but just the cruelty to a
Speaker 3: man who's obviously not fit to lead.
Speaker 13: Yeah, and I'll say one of two things happened. Redo, Okay,
Speaker 13: I think this is much is clear and none of
Speaker 13: them are good. And one is they knew about the
Speaker 13: counter diagnosis and how severe it was and held it
Speaker 13: back and hit it, which is bad enough, right. And
Speaker 13: two is they didn't test him because they knew he
Speaker 13: probably had it, didn't want anyone to know, didn't want
Speaker 13: him to know, and held back this diagnosis four more years,
Speaker 13: leading to a more severe metastating form that's cancer. It's
Speaker 13: one of those two things, and neither one are pretty READO.
Speaker 2: No, they're both pretty ugly.
Speaker 3: And just the family members is mind blowing that they
Speaker 3: would be party to any of that.
Speaker 2: Now, this next story should be satire, but sadly it's not.
Speaker 3: You'll remember Rachel Levine, formerly Richard Levine, the Biden Administration's
Speaker 3: Assistant Secretary for Health.
Speaker 2: Well, he's been.
Speaker 3: Honored by a woman's college. Yes, Smith College presented Levine,
Speaker 3: a man identifying as a woman, with an honorary degree,
Speaker 3: and he also spoke to the school's graduating class. Now
Speaker 3: to qualify for this on our Smith College requirements, state
Speaker 3: that the college will consider women who are exemplars of
Speaker 3: excellence in a wide range of fields, both academic and
Speaker 3: non academic, and the criteria also says the college will
Speaker 3: also consider individuals who have had a special impact on
Speaker 3: Smith College, on the education of men, or on women's lives.
Speaker 3: I don't know, Army, what do you make of this?
Speaker 3: To me, it's almost satire material. But we continuously see
Speaker 3: men identifying as women being honored with awards that are
Speaker 3: normally reserved for just real women.
Speaker 13: Yeah, first of all, Rita, if I can admonish you,
Speaker 13: it is Admiral Levine, right, and so yes, I salute
Speaker 13: Admiral Levine. Look, I gotta be honest, it doesn't really
Speaker 13: matter to me. Okay, Smith College. Look, they give honorary
Speaker 13: degrees to pretty much anybody. It's really not that big
Speaker 13: a deal. I don't think it's I don't think that
Speaker 13: part of the story is a big part of the story,
Speaker 13: although I do want to point out right is Smith
Speaker 13: College itself and the absurdity, nay, the lack of morality
Speaker 13: of that of that school, that college. There's a couple
Speaker 13: of stories that you may not known about. But Smith
Speaker 13: College not that long ago had this story where there
Speaker 13: was a black woman who went and was sitting eating
Speaker 13: her food in a cafeteria that was closed in back
Speaker 13: specifically said no one's allowed to eat this cafeteria for
Speaker 13: a number of reasons, and a janitor who was given
Speaker 13: that instructions walked up to her and said, excuse me,
Speaker 13: but you're actually not allowed to eat here. She then
Speaker 13: went to full meltdown mode and said, you are doing
Speaker 13: this because I am black. I am eating while black,
Speaker 13: not kidding. She had a total hissy fit.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, I recall that story.
Speaker 13: Well, security guard, that's right. Security guard came in and said,
Speaker 13: I'm sorry, you're not gonna be here. What does Smith
Speaker 13: College do? They fired the janitor, who was a working
Speaker 13: man from the area and the security guard right after.
Speaker 13: It was very clear that.
Speaker 8: She was wrong.
Speaker 13: They were following the dictat of the university themselves. Yet
Speaker 13: they fired a blue class, lower class worker because a
Speaker 13: black woman was eating in a person.
Speaker 5: This is Smith College.
Speaker 13: And one last story, if they met.
Speaker 3: Smith College, that is who they are.
Speaker 2: I mean, we've run out of time. Thank you so
Speaker 2: much for your time tonight.
Speaker 3: Pleasures stal To carm Premier listen to Alan left fuming
Speaker 3: after a stunt that saw manure dumped at her office.
Speaker 3: The Liberal m P accused of facilitating that stunt joins me.
Speaker 2: Next, welcome back.
Speaker 3: Joining me now is the state Liberal member for the
Speaker 3: Western Victorian region, Bev MacArthur. Now, Bev, you were present
Speaker 3: at the Raleigh yesterday on the steps of Parliament House.
Speaker 3: We saw firefighters and farmers in large numbers protesting the
Speaker 3: Allen government's new emergency services tax, which, as you say,
Speaker 3: punishes the very farmers who helped protect regional communities by
Speaker 3: volunteering in the CFA.
Speaker 5: Jane, I think you're a fine west.
Speaker 3: About it.
Speaker 13: Did you're also a volunteer? Have a bit ban that.
Speaker 7: Tell us the story.
Speaker 3: Now your party has pledged to scraped attacks should you
Speaker 3: win the state election in twenty twenty six. But that
Speaker 3: wasn't the only protest you were present for yesterday. Also
Speaker 3: helped a farmer deliver a small gift to listen to
Speaker 3: Allan's parliamentary office, a box of cow manure along with
Speaker 3: a note reading, dearest Ja Center, I have considered your
Speaker 3: levy and here's my feedback. It's bull dust, love, Brutus
Speaker 3: and family. Now, the Premier did not take this well
Speaker 3: the couple.
Speaker 15: Of liberal politicians acted in a disgraceful inappropriate way in
Speaker 15: a workplace, in the parliamentary workplace. Well, I condemn that behavior.
Speaker 15: You know who hasn't condemned that behavior, the leader of
Speaker 15: the Opposition, Brad Baton.
Speaker 3: Oh mine, that's a little bit precious, bear, because I
Speaker 3: understand that this incident is before the Parliament's presiding offices.
Speaker 3: Is there anything you can tell us about this? Are
Speaker 3: you restricted in what you can say until it's been resolved?
Speaker 8: Well, nobody has comment contacted me, Rita. But all I
Speaker 8: can say is this labor government has failed over a
Speaker 8: long period of time since they introduced this text to
Speaker 8: listen to anybody. They won't answer emails of constituents, they
Speaker 8: won't answer phone calls, they won't attend rallies. They weren't
Speaker 8: on the steps of Parliament yesterday. They just do not listen.
Speaker 8: And the farming community, and they make up a large
Speaker 8: percentage of the CFA volunteer firefighters, are at their wits end.
Speaker 8: They're in desperate situations, Rita. The drought, of some estimate
Speaker 8: is worse than the nineteen hundred drought. There no water,
Speaker 8: there's no fodder, and they can hardly get it from anywhere,
Speaker 8: even if it's available from interstate. I understand this fodder
Speaker 8: in Western Australia, but South Australia won't let us bring
Speaker 8: it across the border. They're in a terrible situation. The
Speaker 8: mental strain on farmers at the moment is terrible and
Speaker 8: they're desperate and it's not fair that they impose attacks,
Speaker 8: which I am so pleased the Coalition has pledged to
Speaker 8: repeal when we defeat this shocking government in November twenty six.
Speaker 8: This is what has to happen. You can't just keep
Speaker 8: hitting people like this government's doing, and especially people that
Speaker 8: feed those inside the tram tracks one hundred percent of
Speaker 8: the time. It's a very sad situation out in the country, Rita,
Speaker 8: and I'll stand with the farmers and the volunteer firefighters
Speaker 8: and the professional firefighters. Every day they're looking after us.
Speaker 8: They leave their properties to go and fight fight us,
Speaker 8: often on state land, state forests, national parts. That's where
Speaker 8: the fist start because of absolutely shocking management by this government.
Speaker 8: And now they're going to be hit with one hundred
Speaker 8: and fifty percent increase in attacks, which they absolutely can't afford,
Speaker 8: especially at this time.
Speaker 3: Now, You're right about the drought in parts of Victoria's
Speaker 3: it's the worst we've ever seen. It's seen farmers forced
Speaker 3: to send thousands of dairy cattle to be slaughtered because
Speaker 3: they can't afford to feed them.
Speaker 2: Feed costs of sought to record highs.
Speaker 3: You've called on Victoria's Minister for Agriculture to address this situation.
Speaker 3: What is being done to assist these farmers because there
Speaker 3: seems to be a big divide between city folk and
Speaker 3: regional people in this state. So many people in the
Speaker 3: city aren't even aware about what's happening, and with this
Speaker 3: crippling drought impacting so many farmers.
Speaker 8: Well, thank you Rita for raising the issue, and it's
Speaker 8: great that some of the metropolitan media are now picking
Speaker 8: this up. And I'm sure people inside the tram tracks
Speaker 8: they have great sympathy for the farming community because they
Speaker 8: know they work hard. Their price takers, not price makers,
Speaker 8: and it's very hard for them to get a product
Speaker 8: to market and make a profit in the best of times.
Speaker 8: Now when they're confronted by adverse weather conditions, increase rate rises,
Speaker 8: increase bank interest rates, and huge increase in their input
Speaker 8: costs as well, and then this tax on top it's
Speaker 8: just been the last straw, combined with this drought. I
Speaker 8: know on our farm there's just dirt. You can't see
Speaker 8: anything but dirt, and with this a bit to win,
Speaker 8: the topsails blowing away. So I've asked the Minister for Agriculture,
Speaker 8: the state minister, to come and look at what the
Speaker 8: situation is in our area. See for yourself how desperate
Speaker 8: people are and how desperate the situation is. And there
Speaker 8: are dairy farmers that are having to liquidate their herds.
Speaker 8: And I was told by a counselor yesterday at the
Speaker 8: rally that he'd been phoned by a farmer that morning.
Speaker 8: He was just going to have to shoot forty cows,
Speaker 8: but tens of thousands are going to the slaughter house.
Speaker 8: And these are productive milking cows. Some of the beef
Speaker 8: cattle that people can no longer retain are being sent
Speaker 8: into state. But it's a shocking situation. And what the
Speaker 8: government have handed out is a five thousand dollar grant
Speaker 8: that you have to match if you're a farmer. Well
Speaker 8: right now they don't have us spare five thousand dollars,
Speaker 8: And in any case, where would ten thousand dollars go.
Speaker 8: If you're trying and you've got to invested in infrastructure,
Speaker 8: it's absolutely nothing.
Speaker 3: And we had the state budget yesterday, Bev. It's grim figures.
Speaker 2: There's now the way to look at it.
Speaker 3: The Labor Government's annual tax take in Victoria is on
Speaker 3: track to hit fifty billion by twenty thirty. You compare
Speaker 3: that to what it was when Dad Andrews came to
Speaker 3: power back in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 2: It was eighteen point three billion.
Speaker 3: So eighteen point three to fifty billion, and the state
Speaker 3: debt is on track to hit two hundred billion. You
Speaker 3: say you, if you were in power, you would do
Speaker 3: something about this emergency services tax. But how can you
Speaker 3: afford to This state is under crippling debt, the biggest
Speaker 3: in the country. Surely money needs to come from somewhere.
Speaker 8: Well, it shouldn't come from those who are in the
Speaker 8: most desperate situation. The Fire services levy, as it was
Speaker 8: first introduced, was to pay for fire services, and we
Speaker 8: would ensure that that stayed as it was, but all
Speaker 8: these other services were funded out of consolidated revenue. They've
Speaker 8: just foisted a new property tax on Victorians. Every Victorian,
Speaker 8: every household in Victoria will have one hundred percent increase.
Speaker 8: Businesses and enterprises will have a further much higher increase,
Speaker 8: and farmers was one hundred and eighty nine percent increase,
Speaker 8: downdown to one hundred and fifty percent. So these core
Speaker 8: services of keeping people safe should be the first priority
Speaker 8: of government, that's what they should do. The fact that
Speaker 8: they run these huge projects over budget, over time all
Speaker 8: the time, and they're sucking everything out of the rest
Speaker 8: of the economy to pay for their vanity projects inside
Speaker 8: the tram tracks, and they expect people out outside of
Speaker 8: the tram tracks to foot the bill. Bill. It's disgraceful.
Speaker 3: Bev MacArthur, thank you so much for your time tonight,
Speaker 3: and that's all the time we have tonight.
Speaker 2: I'll see you at eleven tomorrow night. Don't go on
Speaker 2: your air. Newsnight is up next
