<v Speaker 1>On scorn loves Oustrodia. This is the Wider Panalty Show.

0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:12.120
<v Speaker 2>Good evening and welcome to the reader Panekey Show.

0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:15.240
<v Speaker 3>Coming up tonight, the winners and losers of the Coalition

0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:18.799
<v Speaker 3>Split TENA McQueen and Primcswee will join me to discuss

0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:23.520
<v Speaker 3>the day's top headlines, including the ABC's gender wage gap,

0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:27.640
<v Speaker 3>is the float of public broadcast that guilty of discriminating

0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:33.000
<v Speaker 3>against females. Premieruson to Adam left fuming after a stuff that.

0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Saw cow poo dumped at her office. I'll speak to

0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:37.279
<v Speaker 2>the Liberal.

0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:42.120
<v Speaker 3>MP accused of facilitating that little stunt. Me Horowitz will

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:45.159
<v Speaker 3>join me with the latest from the US, including revelations

0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 3>that Hunter Biden wield its significant power in the Biden

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:53.200
<v Speaker 3>White House and left these losing It features the ladies

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:55.960
<v Speaker 3>of the view struggling to cope with reality.

0:00:57.200 --> 0:01:00.360
<v Speaker 1>If you're telling me that hundreds of people I knew

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 1>that he was not able.

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 4>To do his job, then where the hell was?

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:08.720
<v Speaker 3>But first to the death of the Modern Day Coalition,

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 3>which met its bitter end yesterday following a breakdown in

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 3>negotiations between the Liberal and National parties. The Nationals leadership team,

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 3>consisting of David Little Proud, Bridget Mackenzie and Kevin Hogan

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.960
<v Speaker 3>pull the pin on the coalition after Liberal leader Susan

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:27.000
<v Speaker 3>Lee refused to agree to the National's list of four

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 3>non negotiables. These were nuclear energies, supermarket divestiture, the twenty

0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:38.959
<v Speaker 3>billion Regional Future Fund, and universal service obligations to ensure

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:43.200
<v Speaker 3>reliable mobile phone coverage in regional areas. The end of

0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:47.680
<v Speaker 3>the coalition comes as many National MPs expressed their anger

0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 3>at the fact that their party signed up to net

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 3>zero obligations, and as the Australian reports, was especially apparent

0:01:56.240 --> 0:02:00.520
<v Speaker 3>in yesterday's decision because the final trigger for David Little

0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 3>Proud and his team was the fact that the Liberal

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 3>leader said she could not agree to a request from

0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:11.000
<v Speaker 3>mister Little Proud, allowing his shadow cabinet ministers a free

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:15.960
<v Speaker 3>vote on contentious issues, including net zero emissions by twenty fifty.

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 3>Joining me now for more on this as Sky News

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:24.120
<v Speaker 3>contributors pri McSween and Tina McQueen Tina, is this a

0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:29.280
<v Speaker 3>case of disunity leading to death? Is this the end

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 3>of Conservatives in Australia? Oh?

0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:33.600
<v Speaker 5>Look, I hope not.

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.240
<v Speaker 6>I think it's been done out of sure prostration to

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.920
<v Speaker 6>be honest reata. This has been you know, on the

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 6>card since Turnbulls leadership of the Liberal Party.

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 5>You know, that started to drag the party to the left.

0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 6>And then continued, we haven't we haven't been there to

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 6>support our base with strong conservative views.

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:52.120
<v Speaker 5>And I think then that's rightly.

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 6>So I said, you know enough, I've had enough, particularly

0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 6>things like phone coverage. Seems like a little thing, but

0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:01.040
<v Speaker 6>as someone with a daughter living in the car, I travel,

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 6>you know, two hours of my four hour journey there

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:07.160
<v Speaker 6>is no phone coverage. So but I can tell you Riata,

0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.800
<v Speaker 6>there's been a lot of Liberal donors that donate a

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:15.160
<v Speaker 6>Liberal Party that have contacted me specifically offering their support

0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.959
<v Speaker 6>to Matt Canaban. There's a lot of support out there

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.919
<v Speaker 6>for Matt Canaban and where the National stands at the moment.

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 6>So you know, look, clearly, ideally they have to get

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.560
<v Speaker 6>together to form government at some stage for the next

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:27.839
<v Speaker 6>election if they hope to win.

0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:30.320
<v Speaker 5>But you know, I admire the Nationals.

0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 6>Some of them are giving up money, you know, have

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:35.720
<v Speaker 6>a massive drop in pay. Now we stand on a

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 6>principle and I think that's you know, I take my

0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:40.960
<v Speaker 6>hat off to that and that shows a true politician

0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 6>of conviction.

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 3>That's a very good point there, Prue. It's been under reporter.

0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:50.400
<v Speaker 3>They are going to be pay cuts here, and you

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:55.000
<v Speaker 3>don't see politicians often opting for a pay cut, but

0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.960
<v Speaker 3>that's what they're doing, and they're doing it on principle.

0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:03.120
<v Speaker 7>Well, it's nice to see people politicians with principle for

0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.080
<v Speaker 7>a change. It's not just a pay cut, of course, it'll.

0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:06.920
<v Speaker 5>Be a staff cut.

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 7>So they're really a lot of people have been saying

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:14.840
<v Speaker 7>they're just posturing and you know, spoiled brats and you know,

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:18.040
<v Speaker 7>playing to their constituents. But I think it had to happen,

0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:23.440
<v Speaker 7>and I don't believe that you can trust that Susan

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.679
<v Speaker 7>Lee who started off. I was impressed with her first speech,

0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 7>but we know that she's woke, we know that she's

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.840
<v Speaker 7>a wet We know that the moderates, you know, Photius

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:36.840
<v Speaker 7>has his tentacles everywhere within the liberals, and so many

0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.880
<v Speaker 7>of them want to take it to the left, to

0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:43.919
<v Speaker 7>the center left, and that of course will spell you know,

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:49.240
<v Speaker 7>incredibly bad news for the true conservative voter. So I

0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.640
<v Speaker 7>think it was great that Matt Canavan sort of was

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:56.160
<v Speaker 7>the person who threw the grenade in I think little

0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 7>proud if he continues supporting net zero is a dead

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:04.000
<v Speaker 7>man walking. It's time for the Liberals to wake up

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 7>to themselves and not even consider drifting to the moderate

0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 7>side a labor light. And they need to get their

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:17.520
<v Speaker 7>finger out and start announcing policies that are going to

0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:21.360
<v Speaker 7>better reflect their core constituents who are conservatives.

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.320
<v Speaker 6>Reader, Can I just add if the Nationals ran in

0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 6>Susan Lee an Angus.

0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 5>Taylor's seat, they would win.

0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.400
<v Speaker 6>So I think Susan Ly and Angus Taylor are going

0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.120
<v Speaker 6>to have to carefully consider their options.

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.760
<v Speaker 5>I have no doubt that Nationals will win both those seats.

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, let's talk about that, but first about the path

0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:48.039
<v Speaker 3>to reconciliation. There are liberal parties storewards urging for the

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:52.360
<v Speaker 3>reconciliation to happen very quickly. Former Prime Minister John Howard

0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:55.480
<v Speaker 3>is one of those storeboards. He told the Australian Financial Review.

0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.400
<v Speaker 3>My advice is to reform as soon as possible and

0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 3>resolve their policy differences within the framework of a coalition.

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:06.480
<v Speaker 3>If they are separated for too long, they will increase

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 3>their differences and make resolution more difficult.

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.880
<v Speaker 2>But that is looking unlikely.

0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.880
<v Speaker 3>Mid suggestions that David Little Proud and Susan Lee do

0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:20.160
<v Speaker 3>not like each other. The Australian reports Susan Lee intends

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:24.280
<v Speaker 3>not to reform a coalition with David Little Proud's Nationals

0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:26.120
<v Speaker 3>before the twenty twenty eight election.

0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 2>Tina, what is that going to mean? It would an

0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.240
<v Speaker 2>extended period of.

0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:39.520
<v Speaker 3>A split that last three years perhaps beyond. See these

0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:44.360
<v Speaker 3>two parties become too dramatically different. See the Nationals really

0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.360
<v Speaker 3>go back to their roots and see the Liberals become

0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:51.680
<v Speaker 3>some sort of teal alternative which is not going to

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:53.320
<v Speaker 3>be appealing to the bulk of the country.

0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 6>No, if the Liberals go down the till track, it's

0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.039
<v Speaker 6>going to be disaster, you know, they just they'll be

0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 6>non existent. Look, maybe if these two leaders, who I

0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:06.480
<v Speaker 6>really think don't they don't get on, perhaps there may

0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:08.400
<v Speaker 6>be a change in leadership for.

0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:12.720
<v Speaker 5>Both parties to resolve this issue. I mean, who knows.

0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 6>But clearly common sense and anyone with half a brain

0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 6>knows that the coalition has to exist with it.

0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.640
<v Speaker 5>As I said, any hope to form government, but very

0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:22.400
<v Speaker 5>very stubborn.

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.800
<v Speaker 6>But honestly, the left of the party cannot, the left

0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:29.080
<v Speaker 6>of the Liberal Party cannot take over or will be doomed.

0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:30.560
<v Speaker 5>So I say, you know, good.

0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.760
<v Speaker 6>On the Nats and hopefully there's enough people in the

0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:39.600
<v Speaker 6>Liberal Party that will look after their conservative base. Prue,

0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:43.960
<v Speaker 6>can you see that happening leadership changes at both parties

0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:47.320
<v Speaker 6>If you did have a Matt Canavan led Nationals and

0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:51.160
<v Speaker 6>a Angus Taylor led Liberal Party, you can see that

0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:56.600
<v Speaker 6>reconciliation happening quite easily, and hopefully walking away from policies

0:07:56.680 --> 0:08:00.200
<v Speaker 6>like net zero and giving Australians a real choice it

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:04.400
<v Speaker 6>an election, not just being shadows of or echoes of labor.

0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.760
<v Speaker 7>Well, I certainly think Matt Canavan is the man for

0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.720
<v Speaker 7>the job. I've got my juries out in Angus Taylor

0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:15.200
<v Speaker 7>because well it's no doubt very bright, he's not great

0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:19.600
<v Speaker 7>at prosecuting an argument, so he's you know, and I

0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 7>like Ted O'Brien although you know he is a moderate,

0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 7>which worries me. But I thought he was very impressive

0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 7>during the nuclear debate.

0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:28.000
<v Speaker 2>But you know, he's yet to be proven.

0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.920
<v Speaker 7>I mean, if he's going to be one of those,

0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 7>you know, even a hidden woke moderate within the ranks,

0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:38.320
<v Speaker 7>and that wouldn't work. So I believe it's going to

0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:40.880
<v Speaker 7>mean that they will have to have a change of leadership,

0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:44.840
<v Speaker 7>and I think that Little Proud and Lee are probably

0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:46.240
<v Speaker 7>dead people walking.

0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:49.520
<v Speaker 6>The other death nel reta for Susan Lee would be

0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:53.240
<v Speaker 6>if she introduces quotas. Now, I was wildly misreported in

0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:56.080
<v Speaker 6>a newspaper at the weekend saying I supported quotas with

0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:59.479
<v Speaker 6>nothing for the truth, absolute rubbish. But if she attempts

0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 6>to introduce quote quotas, I'll be one of the first

0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:05.560
<v Speaker 6>women to walk away from Liberal Party myself and join

0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:06.080
<v Speaker 6>the NATS.

0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:07.800
<v Speaker 8>Good.

0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:15.480
<v Speaker 3>She can't go down that worad surely, But Tina, I know,

0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:18.200
<v Speaker 3>and it's again, and she's got a history of flip

0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:22.079
<v Speaker 3>flopping on just about every issue, so God knows where she's.

0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:22.679
<v Speaker 2>Going to land.

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:27.040
<v Speaker 3>But if there isn't a reconciliation here, Tina, can you

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:31.240
<v Speaker 3>see the Nationals running candidates in her seat?

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:32.120
<v Speaker 2>Can you see the.

0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:36.480
<v Speaker 3>Nationals un seating possibly the opposition leader in an election.

0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 6>Look, it'll depends on their fundraising capabilities. And as I said,

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:45.160
<v Speaker 6>the people that have contacted me are offering former Liberal

0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:48.480
<v Speaker 6>donors offering to support Matt Cannaban and the Nationals. I'm

0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:51.960
<v Speaker 6>quite alarmed at if they have the budget to do it.

0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:53.960
<v Speaker 6>They will run in those seats. They will running as

0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.760
<v Speaker 6>many seats as possible. And like I said, I mean

0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:59.960
<v Speaker 6>Susan Lease seat, what's formerly a National seat.

0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:01.559
<v Speaker 5>It's only the Cohen should deal.

0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:05.720
<v Speaker 6>Got no National ran in her seat, but Susan Lee's there,

0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:09.680
<v Speaker 6>so she knows herself that the Nationals would absolutely take

0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:15.000
<v Speaker 6>over her seat, and Angus Taylor as well. Now, pro

0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:18.880
<v Speaker 6>you mentioned Ted O'Brian, and this is further proof that

0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:22.280
<v Speaker 6>Liberals and Nationals aren't on very good terms right now.

0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:26.320
<v Speaker 6>The Deputy Opposition leader Ted O'Brien decided last minute to

0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:29.679
<v Speaker 6>pull out of a joint TV appearance with National Senator

0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.200
<v Speaker 6>Matt Canavan earlier this day.

0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:35.800
<v Speaker 9>We asked Deputy liberally Ted O'Brien on the show last

0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 9>night and he agreed this morning at a courtesy, we

0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:42.520
<v Speaker 9>told him Matt Canavan was coming on too. All seems okay,

0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:46.320
<v Speaker 9>and then twenty minutes ago his team rang saying he

0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.319
<v Speaker 9>won't come on with Canadan. I mean, you can't make

0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:52.160
<v Speaker 9>it up. It's like maths the canber edition. Matt Canavan

0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 9>is in the house. They made a good morning to you.

0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.400
<v Speaker 9>Nice to see this one morning, Carl. How'd your sleep

0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:56.839
<v Speaker 9>last night?

0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:57.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm not bad, mate.

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:02.240
<v Speaker 3>Carl Stephanovic compared that to an addition of maths.

0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Tina, what was that about?

0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:07.240
<v Speaker 3>Why would he refuse to appear on a program with

0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:08.520
<v Speaker 3>Matt Canavan?

0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:13.920
<v Speaker 6>Well, Carl's implying there some lover stiff, you know, some breakup.

0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:14.400
<v Speaker 5>I think.

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:18.320
<v Speaker 6>Look, Matt is a star performer, he knows his stuff.

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:20.640
<v Speaker 6>I do think there'd be a little bit nervousness in

0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.080
<v Speaker 6>Tet O'Brien that he would say the wrong thing and

0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:23.679
<v Speaker 6>goof up.

0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:26.080
<v Speaker 5>But that's a cowardly.

0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:28.800
<v Speaker 6>Thing to do twenty minutes prior to appearance on a show,

0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:31.320
<v Speaker 6>because I tell you one thing, Matt Canavan will never

0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:32.400
<v Speaker 6>back down from a fight.

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.520
<v Speaker 3>No, you would be appearing on a program with anybody

0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:40.080
<v Speaker 3>from Sarah Hanson Young to.

0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:43.880
<v Speaker 2>Tedo Brian. Bizarre. Bizarre.

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.000
<v Speaker 3>Now let's have a look at how some of the

0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 3>leftist papers are reacting to the split. The Sydney Morning

0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:54.920
<v Speaker 3>Herald has gone with this angle, claiming the Nationals once

0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:58.120
<v Speaker 3>got their way because they argued their corner and didn't

0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:03.160
<v Speaker 3>make empty threats. The Junior Coalition Party is reduced to

0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:08.640
<v Speaker 3>a juvenile outfit. That seems a bit harsh prove given

0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:12.120
<v Speaker 3>that they did pretty well at the recent election. It

0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:15.920
<v Speaker 3>was the Liberals who failed comprehensively. The Nationals seem to

0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:19.040
<v Speaker 3>know who they are a lot more than the Liberals

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:21.880
<v Speaker 3>who have got this identity crisis at the moment.

0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:27.080
<v Speaker 7>Look, the credibility of these media outlets has just gone

0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:30.280
<v Speaker 7>down the toilet, you know when you look at of

0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:34.160
<v Speaker 7>course they're going to blame the Nats and take that

0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:38.400
<v Speaker 7>stance because they've all got agendas. Now most journalists have

0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:40.800
<v Speaker 7>agendas who are writing for these lefty papers.

0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:44.559
<v Speaker 3>Tina, you could have a situation where you know that

0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:47.200
<v Speaker 3>the gap between the parties is an enormous now with

0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:50.480
<v Speaker 3>the number of seats they hold, so you could have

0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:54.559
<v Speaker 3>the Nationals holding more seats and being the official opposition

0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.079
<v Speaker 3>party compared to the Liberals. I mean that is not

0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.040
<v Speaker 3>beyond the realms of possibility.

0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:00.800
<v Speaker 2>No, not at all.

0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:02.720
<v Speaker 6>I mean you've only got to look at Nigel Farage

0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:05.920
<v Speaker 6>what he's done, you know, And I think the Nationals

0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 6>have been following that closely as well, and I think

0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:12.160
<v Speaker 6>has given them the confidence to really dig in their

0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.800
<v Speaker 6>heels and stand on their principles and realize that they

0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:17.760
<v Speaker 6>can win over Because as you said, they performed very.

0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:18.959
<v Speaker 5>Well in the federal election.

0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:20.679
<v Speaker 6>I have no doubt they're eyeing off a number of

0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:22.960
<v Speaker 6>seats they can pick up and doing their numbers closely.

0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:25.520
<v Speaker 6>And I think the lefty, as the lefties in the

0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:28.600
<v Speaker 6>Liberal Party, have to acknowledge this and be very careful

0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:29.640
<v Speaker 6>of the direction they take.

0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Rita.

0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.880
<v Speaker 3>Now moving on to other issues, the ABC is failing

0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:39.320
<v Speaker 3>to walk the talk when it comes to gender equality.

0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:45.000
<v Speaker 3>You see, there's a Workplace Gender Equality Agency data released

0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:49.000
<v Speaker 3>today and it shows that the ABC has a median

0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:55.040
<v Speaker 3>gender pay gap of nine point eight percent favoring men. However,

0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:58.640
<v Speaker 3>the same agency are revealed last year that Sky News

0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:02.280
<v Speaker 3>Australia does not have a gender pay gap. In fact,

0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:06.400
<v Speaker 3>the women here are paid slightly more than men on average,

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:10.720
<v Speaker 3>just one percent more. Pro looks like the ABC perhaps

0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:15.319
<v Speaker 3>needs to launch an investigation into the ABC well.

0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:16.880
<v Speaker 5>On this and many other things.

0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:17.320
<v Speaker 2>Rita.

0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.480
<v Speaker 7>You know, but they can't even define what a woman is,

0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:24.320
<v Speaker 7>So how do they know, you know, what the disparity is?

0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:27.360
<v Speaker 7>You know, I mean maybe they you know, they're just

0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:31.240
<v Speaker 7>deluded by it all. I just find it amusing that

0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:37.400
<v Speaker 7>the one organization that they hate most guy is leading

0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:42.720
<v Speaker 7>the way. They're just you know, the hypocrites, their bedweathers.

0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:48.320
<v Speaker 7>They're pathetic. We know that the quicker that can become cold, see.

0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:50.040
<v Speaker 2>Tina.

0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:54.320
<v Speaker 3>Could we see a policy shift from the coalition if

0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:57.600
<v Speaker 3>it becomes the coalition again, certainly you would accept, expect,

0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:00.600
<v Speaker 3>hopefully the Nationals to take a stronger life and against

0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:04.960
<v Speaker 3>the public broadcast because we've seen the Liberals in power

0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:07.760
<v Speaker 3>and they've done nothing to curb.

0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:09.200
<v Speaker 2>The ABC's activism or.

0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:13.400
<v Speaker 3>Even hold them accountable for not living up to their

0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:15.720
<v Speaker 3>own rules. I mean, they're the ones who are pushing

0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:21.080
<v Speaker 3>this gender wage gap nonsense constantly, but they don't practice

0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:21.840
<v Speaker 3>it themselves.

0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:25.320
<v Speaker 6>Look, we wasted a lot of years in power not

0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:27.560
<v Speaker 6>doing a thing. I mean, Tony have at once one

0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:30.320
<v Speaker 6>thing where no minister was allowed to appear.

0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:32.600
<v Speaker 5>On the ABC. But you know you need to hit

0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:34.840
<v Speaker 5>them where it hurts. It's just ridiculous.

0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:37.640
<v Speaker 6>I do think the Coalition formed government, we do need

0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:41.080
<v Speaker 6>to slash that ABC budget. No one watches it. It's

0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:44.200
<v Speaker 6>of no use, not even the regional areas, where most

0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:47.640
<v Speaker 6>regional areas would much prefer. And the study show Sky

0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:50.400
<v Speaker 6>is much more popular in the regional areas now than

0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:52.920
<v Speaker 6>the ABC, so they serve no purpose anywhere.

0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:57.640
<v Speaker 2>Make them subscription tolerance. That's right, Yeah, that's it.

0:15:57.840 --> 0:15:59.760
<v Speaker 3>You want to if you want to view it, you

0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.239
<v Speaker 3>for it like you do with Sky News.

0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.080
<v Speaker 2>And many other options.

0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:08.800
<v Speaker 3>Now, a new Salvation Army survey has revealed some shocking

0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:13.720
<v Speaker 3>data of the This was a survey of vulnerable South

0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:17.360
<v Speaker 3>Australians and more than half of those surveys said they

0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:22.600
<v Speaker 3>are skipping meals, while nearly a quarter eating expired or

0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:27.240
<v Speaker 3>spoiled food in order to make ends meat, fifty six

0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:32.320
<v Speaker 3>percent said they were skipping meals so that children could

0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:39.240
<v Speaker 3>eat and Tina. Shockingly, pensioners are talking about opting for

0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:42.920
<v Speaker 3>cat food or dog food because that's the only way

0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:45.240
<v Speaker 3>they're going to get any sort of nutrition. I mean,

0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:49.760
<v Speaker 3>this is just shocking to read about in a first

0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:50.600
<v Speaker 3>world country.

0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:52.720
<v Speaker 5>It's terrible reader.

0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:56.120
<v Speaker 6>It really saddens my heart. But it's no surprise. And

0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:58.600
<v Speaker 6>this isn't just a recent thing. This has been happening

0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:01.760
<v Speaker 6>for a few years now where I live in Sydney,

0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:04.199
<v Speaker 6>across the road in the park, and it breaks my

0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:06.479
<v Speaker 6>heart every time, and I will make the effort. This

0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:10.480
<v Speaker 6>evening there's a woman living in a tent, an elderly woman,

0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:12.480
<v Speaker 6>and I thought maybe it was just a one or

0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.000
<v Speaker 6>two night. I've been told she's been there for weeks,

0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:17.920
<v Speaker 6>so this is really really shocking. There are more and

0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:21.280
<v Speaker 6>all homeless people when you walk up George Street around

0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:22.080
<v Speaker 6>Circular Key.

0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:23.840
<v Speaker 5>We've got Vivid starting soon.

0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:25.520
<v Speaker 6>I don't know what these pool buggers are going to do,

0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.120
<v Speaker 6>because many of them the only shelter they get. But

0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:31.159
<v Speaker 6>the pensions have been incredibly hard hit and for a

0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:35.320
<v Speaker 6>long time have been resorting to eating very little, as

0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:38.359
<v Speaker 6>you say, you know, dog or cat food.

0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:46.160
<v Speaker 3>It's disgraceful, absolutely just absolutely appalling. Before your ladies go,

0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:49.520
<v Speaker 3>I want to just bring you some international news. Italian

0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:53.840
<v Speaker 3>Prime Minister Georgia Maloney had a massive diplomatic wins. She

0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:57.920
<v Speaker 3>hosted a key trilateral meeting between the US Vice President

0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:01.440
<v Speaker 3>JD Vance and the EU Commission and President Ursula von

0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:06.080
<v Speaker 3>der Layan, and she's also now backing Tina Donald Trump's

0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:10.960
<v Speaker 3>suggestion that the Vatican could help mediate talks between Ukraine

0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:17.760
<v Speaker 3>and Russia. This is quite a starring role for Maloney. Tina,

0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:22.760
<v Speaker 3>she is offering a assistance in that she's back Trump's proposal,

0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:28.960
<v Speaker 3>and she's really become the crucial leader in Europe right now,

0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:30.200
<v Speaker 3>particularly in.

0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Trade talks with the US RITA.

0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:36.120
<v Speaker 5>She deserves his starring role.

0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:39.159
<v Speaker 6>She's been a really great leader, and she's you know,

0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:42.479
<v Speaker 6>she's always been an admirer and understood what Trump is

0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:45.040
<v Speaker 6>doing and trying to do. And I think she'll play

0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:48.000
<v Speaker 6>a crucial role moving forward. And I'm sure her and JD.

0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:52.800
<v Speaker 6>Bans got on remarkably well. And hopefully with her pressure

0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:55.560
<v Speaker 6>and the assistance of Trump and the input of the

0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:58.320
<v Speaker 6>Pope that finally something can happen.

0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:04.520
<v Speaker 3>I remember when she was elected, the coverage in the.

0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:07.040
<v Speaker 2>Western media was disgusting.

0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:12.119
<v Speaker 3>They were painting her as some extremist, some threat to democracy,

0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:18.000
<v Speaker 3>some radical fascist woman, and she's nothing of the sort.

0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:21.040
<v Speaker 3>And she's proved that and she's possibly the most popular

0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:22.440
<v Speaker 3>leader in Europe right now.

0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:23.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:27.240
<v Speaker 7>Well, of course, anybody that they can crucify, they'll do

0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:30.520
<v Speaker 7>and call a fascist, you know what they're like. She

0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:33.400
<v Speaker 7>is so impressive. I just wish we had a Maloney here.

0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:36.800
<v Speaker 7>We need someone to come in and kick some ass,

0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:41.560
<v Speaker 7>you know, have balls and backbone and understand that most people,

0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:48.159
<v Speaker 7>really thinking people she would represent and Susan Lee, the

0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:52.200
<v Speaker 7>liberals need to understand that this is what resonates with people,

0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:54.120
<v Speaker 7>not this kind of woke nonsense.

0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:56.760
<v Speaker 2>And they also need to understand.

0:19:56.240 --> 0:20:00.360
<v Speaker 7>That in three years time, when again the cost living

0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:02.679
<v Speaker 7>there'll be more people on the streets, the cost of

0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:06.479
<v Speaker 7>living is going to really impact even more because of

0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:10.240
<v Speaker 7>the energy disgrace of Bowen that you know, they're barking

0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:13.600
<v Speaker 7>up the wrong tree, people will be really wanting and Noel,

0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:18.880
<v Speaker 7>let's hope they Let's hope they wake up to those realities.

0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:21.679
<v Speaker 7>We're living high pro McSween teena McQueen, thank you so

0:20:21.760 --> 0:20:22.720
<v Speaker 7>much for your time tonight.

0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:24.200
<v Speaker 2>Still toy karma.

0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:27.360
<v Speaker 3>Lefties losing it past the latest from the US, including

0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:31.520
<v Speaker 3>revelations that Hunter Biden wielded significant power.

0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:33.760
<v Speaker 2>In the Biden White House. Army Horowitz joins me.

0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:45.120
<v Speaker 3>Next, you're watching the Reader Panny Show, and it's time

0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:48.840
<v Speaker 3>for lefties losing it And how do we get this

0:20:48.960 --> 0:20:51.439
<v Speaker 3>deep into the wag without some input from the ladies

0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:55.480
<v Speaker 3>of the view. And these miserable maidens are losing their

0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:59.200
<v Speaker 3>teeny tiny minds again about Joe Biden.

0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Eighty three, So he's a little stumbling, he's a little rumby.

0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:08.879
<v Speaker 1>I can't point to anything that he's done as present

0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:12.680
<v Speaker 1>that he did, but I want somebody to tell me, well,

0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:14.640
<v Speaker 1>when did you know it was bad?

0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:16.880
<v Speaker 2>If you knew, why did you wait?

0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:21.439
<v Speaker 10>So he said that it was after moderated the debate.

0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:24.840
<v Speaker 4>Yes, but I'm sorry, baby, that's not what I'm talking about.

0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:25.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about.

0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:27.200
<v Speaker 2>If you're telling me.

0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:30.919
<v Speaker 1>That hundreds of people people knew that he was not

0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:34.720
<v Speaker 1>able to do his job, then where the hell was everybody?

0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:39.199
<v Speaker 3>Hundreds of people will bee hundreds of millions of people

0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:41.679
<v Speaker 3>around the world who don't get their news from leftist

0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:45.719
<v Speaker 3>lies like you knew about Joe Biden's cognitive decline. They

0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:49.000
<v Speaker 3>knew it was real and it made him unfit for offers.

0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:51.200
<v Speaker 3>I've been covering it on this station for more than

0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:55.920
<v Speaker 3>five years. Let's just have around twenty seconds of President

0:21:56.040 --> 0:21:58.520
<v Speaker 3>Applesauce Prudent's cryptocher.

0:22:00.640 --> 0:22:05.159
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, America is a nation that can be defined in

0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:06.040
<v Speaker 11>a single word.

0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Him the idea that Los Angeles and and uh, what

0:22:20.240 --> 0:22:20.960
<v Speaker 1>am I doing here?

0:22:21.880 --> 0:22:23.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what you were doing that? I don't

0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:25.200
<v Speaker 2>know how whoop? He missed all that.

0:22:25.359 --> 0:22:27.760
<v Speaker 3>It was only around a week ago when Joe Biden

0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:31.240
<v Speaker 3>and Chief Elder Abusa Jill were on the view to

0:22:31.840 --> 0:22:35.320
<v Speaker 3>try to dispel any notions of his feeble mental state.

0:22:36.520 --> 0:22:38.919
<v Speaker 2>It did not go well or the.

0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:42.840
<v Speaker 12>Project the benefits.

0:22:43.240 --> 0:22:45.760
<v Speaker 13>How do you lead the world having best instructional How

0:22:45.800 --> 0:22:48.119
<v Speaker 13>do you lead the world but that of the best healthcarenral.

0:22:48.280 --> 0:22:51.679
<v Speaker 3>But we can hardly expect any level of integrity or

0:22:51.800 --> 0:22:56.439
<v Speaker 3>consistency from the ladies of the view. And let's stay

0:22:56.440 --> 0:22:59.040
<v Speaker 3>on whoop be gold work because remember when she said

0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:02.760
<v Speaker 3>this before the election, disputing the notion that Donald Trump

0:23:02.760 --> 0:23:05.280
<v Speaker 3>and the Republicans were pro family.

0:23:06.000 --> 0:23:10.840
<v Speaker 4>The thing that really pisses me off about this is,

0:23:11.800 --> 0:23:15.000
<v Speaker 4>you know, if you all really cared about children, where

0:23:15.000 --> 0:23:17.680
<v Speaker 4>are the tax credits? Where's the paid family leave?

0:23:18.000 --> 0:23:19.560
<v Speaker 5>Where's the free house clock?

0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:20.720
<v Speaker 4>You know?

0:23:21.480 --> 0:23:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Yep, she's demanding tax credits.

0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:27.280
<v Speaker 3>But now that the Trump administration is coming through with

0:23:27.359 --> 0:23:30.360
<v Speaker 3>some relief, she ain't happy.

0:23:30.880 --> 0:23:35.200
<v Speaker 4>So as birth rates continue to decline in America, the

0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:39.800
<v Speaker 4>White House is looking into offering five thousand dollars cash

0:23:39.840 --> 0:23:46.159
<v Speaker 4>bonuses expanded access to IVF, along with other incentives for

0:23:46.320 --> 0:23:47.960
<v Speaker 4>women to have more babies.

0:23:52.040 --> 0:24:00.359
<v Speaker 5>Why and okay, I am in incredibly insulted.

0:24:01.400 --> 0:24:07.520
<v Speaker 4>Because clearly they don't know how women's bodies work.

0:24:08.200 --> 0:24:09.960
<v Speaker 2>She's so insufferable, isn't she?

0:24:10.040 --> 0:24:13.240
<v Speaker 3>And yes, Wellee I'm sure it's Republicans who don't know

0:24:13.240 --> 0:24:16.600
<v Speaker 3>how women's bodies work, not your ilk who claim women

0:24:16.680 --> 0:24:21.280
<v Speaker 3>can have penises and men can breastfeed. But how interesting

0:24:21.440 --> 0:24:25.440
<v Speaker 3>that you are insulted, You are enraged by the very

0:24:25.520 --> 0:24:29.560
<v Speaker 3>tax credits you were demanding. Now she's mocking the five

0:24:29.600 --> 0:24:33.639
<v Speaker 3>thousand dollar benefit because that's nothing. Well, what's that going

0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:34.480
<v Speaker 3>to cover lunch?

0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:37.480
<v Speaker 4>I don't know what five thousand dollars is supposed to do.

0:24:37.640 --> 0:24:39.360
<v Speaker 5>And it's not even five thousand.

0:24:39.080 --> 0:24:40.560
<v Speaker 4>Dollars because you have cut it in half cuse you

0:24:40.600 --> 0:24:41.280
<v Speaker 4>got paid.

0:24:41.040 --> 0:24:44.400
<v Speaker 5>Taxes on it. Yeah, so they're offering you twenty five

0:24:44.480 --> 0:24:45.280
<v Speaker 5>hundred dollars.

0:24:48.880 --> 0:24:53.880
<v Speaker 3>They're just the worst, aren't they? Now talking about miserable maidens?

0:24:53.960 --> 0:24:59.320
<v Speaker 2>Here is Hillary Clinton being Hillary Clinton? Ie awful?

0:24:59.800 --> 0:25:03.000
<v Speaker 7>Did do you have the first female president of the

0:25:03.080 --> 0:25:03.719
<v Speaker 7>United States?

0:25:05.680 --> 0:25:16.320
<v Speaker 14>Well, first of all, don't be a handmaiden to the patriarchy,

0:25:17.400 --> 0:25:22.160
<v Speaker 14>which kind of eliminates every woman on the other side.

0:25:21.920 --> 0:25:26.680
<v Speaker 3>Of the aisle handmaidens for the patriarchy. That's how Hillary

0:25:26.720 --> 0:25:30.000
<v Speaker 3>describes Republican women, except for someone like Liz Cheney.

0:25:30.080 --> 0:25:31.680
<v Speaker 2>Because someone as awful as Hillary.

0:25:32.560 --> 0:25:35.359
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's a little rich for the woman who

0:25:35.400 --> 0:25:40.280
<v Speaker 3>allowed herself to be repeatedly humiliated over and over again,

0:25:40.600 --> 0:25:45.800
<v Speaker 3>over and over again. Would Bill Clinton's wild philandering affair

0:25:45.920 --> 0:25:49.880
<v Speaker 3>after affair, Monica Paula, Jennifer Kathleen, The list goes on.

0:25:50.520 --> 0:25:54.480
<v Speaker 3>And I'm not even touching on his association with Jeffrey Epstein.

0:25:54.600 --> 0:25:58.680
<v Speaker 3>Never forget that this was the painting in prime position

0:25:58.840 --> 0:26:04.280
<v Speaker 3>in Jeffrey Epstein's And through all of that humiliation, Hillary

0:26:04.520 --> 0:26:08.399
<v Speaker 3>stood by her philandering man. Want to talk about a

0:26:08.600 --> 0:26:13.200
<v Speaker 3>handmaiden for the patriarchy, Look in the mirror, love. Now

0:26:13.280 --> 0:26:16.240
<v Speaker 3>let's go to Colorado and check in with how the

0:26:16.320 --> 0:26:21.160
<v Speaker 3>Democrats are faring. This is Colorado State Senator Chris Kolka,

0:26:21.760 --> 0:26:25.760
<v Speaker 3>who says he is accountable to God and that's why

0:26:25.800 --> 0:26:31.399
<v Speaker 3>he's standing up for equality and trans Jesus trans.

0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:37.439
<v Speaker 11>What I'm accountable to, Almighty God because I'm standing up

0:26:38.840 --> 0:26:42.040
<v Speaker 11>for equality. Well, my dear judgment, I might be standing

0:26:42.080 --> 0:26:47.199
<v Speaker 11>in front of treans Jesus, I don't know. I don't know.

0:26:48.240 --> 0:26:49.159
<v Speaker 2>That's what I believe.

0:26:52.119 --> 0:26:56.080
<v Speaker 11>And I believe that Jesus God, we'll look at me

0:26:56.119 --> 0:26:57.919
<v Speaker 11>and say you should do it up for people.

0:26:58.920 --> 0:27:02.880
<v Speaker 3>Now to Jake Tappa's new book, Original Sin on President

0:27:02.880 --> 0:27:06.520
<v Speaker 3>Biden's decline and its cover up covered up by the

0:27:06.680 --> 0:27:10.160
<v Speaker 3>likes of Jake Tappa. We haven't forgotten Jake, but he's

0:27:10.200 --> 0:27:13.120
<v Speaker 3>on the book tour and his fellow lefties are treating

0:27:13.160 --> 0:27:17.800
<v Speaker 3>these revelations on Biden's decline like it's breaking news. One

0:27:17.840 --> 0:27:20.959
<v Speaker 3>interesting note, again, something those on the right have pointed

0:27:21.000 --> 0:27:25.720
<v Speaker 3>out for some time is the Biden family's dodgy business

0:27:25.760 --> 0:27:31.920
<v Speaker 3>stealings involving Hunter Biden, often whose influence extended to the

0:27:31.960 --> 0:27:40.680
<v Speaker 3>Oval Office. Indeed, was America being unwittingly led by this guy.

0:27:41.800 --> 0:27:45.000
<v Speaker 15>Just the term crack commandments, all these rules you'll have

0:27:45.080 --> 0:27:48.440
<v Speaker 15>Mad bretton WM if not for twenty four years on

0:27:48.480 --> 0:27:49.040
<v Speaker 15>the Week Up.

0:27:49.800 --> 0:27:53.400
<v Speaker 3>Good Lord, Let's hear what CNN anchor Jake Tapper has

0:27:53.440 --> 0:27:53.840
<v Speaker 3>to say.

0:27:54.440 --> 0:27:57.240
<v Speaker 12>How big a factor was the Hunter stuff? I think

0:27:57.240 --> 0:28:00.359
<v Speaker 12>it was considerable. I think Hunter was driving the decision

0:28:00.440 --> 0:28:03.560
<v Speaker 12>making for the family in a way that people he

0:28:03.640 --> 0:28:05.800
<v Speaker 12>was almost like a chief of staff of the fanis.

0:28:05.800 --> 0:28:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Does that strike you as pretty bizarre?

0:28:07.800 --> 0:28:13.840
<v Speaker 12>It's bizarre because I think he is provably demonstrably unethical, sleazy,

0:28:14.080 --> 0:28:16.760
<v Speaker 12>and prone to horrible decisions. I mean, tell me how

0:28:16.800 --> 0:28:20.440
<v Speaker 12>you really feel, well, I mean, I just just look

0:28:20.480 --> 0:28:23.240
<v Speaker 12>at the record. I mean, after his brother died, he

0:28:23.320 --> 0:28:25.439
<v Speaker 12>cheated on his wife with his brother's widow and then

0:28:25.480 --> 0:28:26.639
<v Speaker 12>got her addicted to crack.

0:28:27.760 --> 0:28:30.240
<v Speaker 3>Just for beginners joining me now for more on this

0:28:30.320 --> 0:28:32.400
<v Speaker 3>is filmmaker Army Horoid's army.

0:28:33.160 --> 0:28:36.120
<v Speaker 2>What do you make of that? Who was running the country?

0:28:36.280 --> 0:28:37.879
<v Speaker 2>Was it Jill? Was it Hunt?

0:28:38.360 --> 0:28:44.520
<v Speaker 3>Or was it the faceless men and women pulling Joe's strings? Yeah?

0:28:44.520 --> 0:28:46.920
<v Speaker 13>Well, a lot has been written about it, and a

0:28:46.960 --> 0:28:48.960
<v Speaker 13>lot more will be written about it going forward. But

0:28:49.000 --> 0:28:51.760
<v Speaker 13>it seems like there was like a pullet bureau of

0:28:52.280 --> 0:28:55.560
<v Speaker 13>less than a dozen people, five to eight people who

0:28:55.560 --> 0:28:58.400
<v Speaker 13>were in fact what in the country. Look, I want

0:28:58.400 --> 0:29:01.960
<v Speaker 13>to point out that the concertutional powers given the president

0:29:02.280 --> 0:29:06.200
<v Speaker 13>are given to only one person, the president. The president

0:29:06.360 --> 0:29:09.320
<v Speaker 13>himself can't even delegate it to other people if he

0:29:09.520 --> 0:29:12.480
<v Speaker 13>wanted to, certainly can't do it if he doesn't have

0:29:12.480 --> 0:29:14.240
<v Speaker 13>the wherewithal to do it himself.

0:29:14.360 --> 0:29:14.560
<v Speaker 8>Right.

0:29:15.480 --> 0:29:18.200
<v Speaker 13>No, this is the party of democracy, the party of

0:29:18.280 --> 0:29:22.600
<v Speaker 13>fall the Constitution. Yet they were undermining democracy, undermine the

0:29:22.640 --> 0:29:27.040
<v Speaker 13>constitution by running the country essentially by say, behind his back,

0:29:27.080 --> 0:29:28.360
<v Speaker 13>but it was in front of his face, and he

0:29:28.360 --> 0:29:30.880
<v Speaker 13>couldn't realize what was going on. H This is a

0:29:31.000 --> 0:29:35.320
<v Speaker 13>significant and massive legal problem that needs to be sorted out.

0:29:35.680 --> 0:29:40.080
<v Speaker 13>And look, first and foremost among the prince lings, where

0:29:40.160 --> 0:29:43.960
<v Speaker 13>of course Jill Biden and Hunter Biden. And I don't

0:29:43.960 --> 0:29:46.040
<v Speaker 13>have to go look, you did that montage. I don't

0:29:46.040 --> 0:29:48.440
<v Speaker 13>have to go into who Hunter Biden was. We all

0:29:48.720 --> 0:29:52.320
<v Speaker 13>know he was doing crack cocaine off the back of hookers, right,

0:29:52.400 --> 0:29:53.920
<v Speaker 13>I mean, I don't have to go on and on

0:29:53.960 --> 0:29:56.240
<v Speaker 13>about what he was doing in his private life. Yet

0:29:56.280 --> 0:29:56.600
<v Speaker 13>he was.

0:29:58.360 --> 0:29:58.680
<v Speaker 8>Wed.

0:29:58.960 --> 0:30:00.680
<v Speaker 13>You just showed it, right, I mean, that was a

0:30:00.720 --> 0:30:06.280
<v Speaker 13>really great montage of the Biden's life. Look, Hunter Biden

0:30:06.520 --> 0:30:10.280
<v Speaker 13>was in cabinet, was in Oval office meetings, very high

0:30:10.400 --> 0:30:13.440
<v Speaker 13>level over Oval office meetings. So it was Joe Biden.

0:30:14.480 --> 0:30:16.920
<v Speaker 13>I think the whole country needs to be worried about that. Obviously,

0:30:17.600 --> 0:30:20.720
<v Speaker 13>who had controlled the auto pen is another question, right,

0:30:20.760 --> 0:30:25.120
<v Speaker 13>who was the person in fact signing these bills, signing

0:30:25.160 --> 0:30:29.160
<v Speaker 13>these pardons. It seems like it wasn't. It wasn't Joe

0:30:29.160 --> 0:30:32.120
<v Speaker 13>Biden the auto pen. While yes, one is allowed to

0:30:32.240 --> 0:30:34.440
<v Speaker 13>use an autopen, which is essentially for those who don't know,

0:30:34.720 --> 0:30:37.640
<v Speaker 13>the president has to sign all these things physically, But

0:30:37.680 --> 0:30:40.080
<v Speaker 13>there has been a tradition of using this automatic pen

0:30:40.080 --> 0:30:41.800
<v Speaker 13>that signed his name. As long as he is there

0:30:42.080 --> 0:30:44.680
<v Speaker 13>and watching it happen, who had control of it, we

0:30:44.760 --> 0:30:48.200
<v Speaker 13>don't know. And by the way, just so we're totally clear,

0:30:48.760 --> 0:30:52.200
<v Speaker 13>Biden ran, and this actually adds is a very interesting question.

0:30:52.400 --> 0:30:56.080
<v Speaker 13>Biden ran as a moderate. Biden his whole career prior

0:30:56.120 --> 0:30:59.240
<v Speaker 13>to being president was in fact moderate. Yet the whole

0:30:59.280 --> 0:31:03.160
<v Speaker 13>country termed hard left, the administrator hard left. While he's

0:31:03.240 --> 0:31:05.719
<v Speaker 13>being present, we all scratched our heads and said, it

0:31:05.760 --> 0:31:08.680
<v Speaker 13>doesn't seem like who Joe Biden was. Well, now we

0:31:08.840 --> 0:31:11.479
<v Speaker 13>know that there was a cabal of people and it's

0:31:11.480 --> 0:31:14.479
<v Speaker 13>administration who were part of the hard left, who were

0:31:14.520 --> 0:31:16.840
<v Speaker 13>controlling what was going on. I think this is becoming clear.

0:31:17.040 --> 0:31:20.680
<v Speaker 13>This is an absolute scandal of historic proportions.

0:31:20.680 --> 0:31:27.160
<v Speaker 3>Reader, that is well said, a scandal of historic proportions.

0:31:27.920 --> 0:31:31.440
<v Speaker 3>But back on the book, Jake Tapper has put out

0:31:31.520 --> 0:31:35.560
<v Speaker 3>he's admitted on Meghan Kelly's program he was being promoting

0:31:35.600 --> 0:31:38.280
<v Speaker 3>the book everywhere, and he admitted to her that he

0:31:38.320 --> 0:31:42.400
<v Speaker 3>has apologized to Lara Trump for dismissing her in a

0:31:42.440 --> 0:31:46.720
<v Speaker 3>really quite a hostile manner when she raised issues about

0:31:46.840 --> 0:31:50.040
<v Speaker 3>Joe Biden's cognitive decline back in twenty twenty.

0:31:50.160 --> 0:31:50.640
<v Speaker 2>Have a look.

0:31:51.840 --> 0:31:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I think what we see on stage with Joe Biden,

0:31:54.160 --> 0:31:57.320
<v Speaker 1>Jake is very clearly a cognitive decline.

0:31:57.560 --> 0:32:00.000
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm referring to. It makes me uncomfortable.

0:32:00.320 --> 0:32:03.800
<v Speaker 10>You have no I think it's so amazing. It's so

0:32:03.800 --> 0:32:06.640
<v Speaker 10>amazing to me that try and figure out an answer

0:32:06.720 --> 0:32:07.760
<v Speaker 10>a cognitive decline.

0:32:07.880 --> 0:32:10.600
<v Speaker 2>You need to tell me that what I was suggesting.

0:32:10.320 --> 0:32:13.040
<v Speaker 10>Was I think that you were marking his stutter. Yeah,

0:32:13.160 --> 0:32:14.600
<v Speaker 10>I think you were marking his stutter. And I think

0:32:14.640 --> 0:32:18.480
<v Speaker 10>you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline.

0:32:18.640 --> 0:32:19.440
<v Speaker 2>It's all well.

0:32:19.320 --> 0:32:23.680
<v Speaker 3>And good to apologize and to be making these revelations now, Army,

0:32:23.840 --> 0:32:28.160
<v Speaker 3>but it's too little, too late in my book, And

0:32:29.000 --> 0:32:33.720
<v Speaker 3>Jake Tapper was still covering up Biden's cognitive decline last year,

0:32:34.400 --> 0:32:38.680
<v Speaker 3>almost right up until he dropped out of the reelection race.

0:32:38.760 --> 0:32:44.160
<v Speaker 3>So what credibility does he have and what damage is

0:32:44.200 --> 0:32:47.320
<v Speaker 3>this book going to do to Joe Biden's legacy.

0:32:47.840 --> 0:32:49.240
<v Speaker 2>Because it does seem to be.

0:32:50.760 --> 0:32:54.760
<v Speaker 3>Large suedes of the country who watch CNN, MSNBC and

0:32:55.560 --> 0:32:58.960
<v Speaker 3>other leftist media who are surprised by these revelations who

0:32:58.960 --> 0:33:02.240
<v Speaker 3>seemed to have completely missed what the rest of us

0:33:02.240 --> 0:33:04.240
<v Speaker 3>have been reporting for the last five years.

0:33:06.640 --> 0:33:10.360
<v Speaker 13>I mean, the answer is is right, is self evident

0:33:10.400 --> 0:33:14.880
<v Speaker 13>that the media has no credibility? Right the debt If

0:33:15.200 --> 0:33:18.640
<v Speaker 13>one goes in Ford history and says, okay, media died

0:33:18.720 --> 0:33:21.360
<v Speaker 13>in America, and they point to when that happened, It

0:33:21.400 --> 0:33:24.320
<v Speaker 13>happened during the Biden presidency. It happened when they were

0:33:24.360 --> 0:33:30.640
<v Speaker 13>covering up for what they knew was his inability to govern.

0:33:30.840 --> 0:33:33.360
<v Speaker 13>And of course when they covered they try to cover

0:33:33.400 --> 0:33:35.480
<v Speaker 13>it up even after that debate, which is when it

0:33:35.600 --> 0:33:38.520
<v Speaker 13>actually all the you know, it all blew open. Look,

0:33:38.560 --> 0:33:40.280
<v Speaker 13>the question is where do we go from here?

0:33:40.360 --> 0:33:40.520
<v Speaker 6>Right?

0:33:40.600 --> 0:33:44.640
<v Speaker 13>How are they going to look at Republican conspiracy theories

0:33:45.040 --> 0:33:48.160
<v Speaker 13>moving forward? Right, whether or not as Republicans talking about

0:33:48.160 --> 0:33:52.760
<v Speaker 13>how the media has conspired on Russia Gate and Russia

0:33:52.800 --> 0:33:57.880
<v Speaker 13>Russia Russia, or our crazy idea that COVID came from

0:33:57.920 --> 0:34:02.320
<v Speaker 13>a lab in Wuhan, right, or that BLM wasn't really

0:34:02.400 --> 0:34:06.280
<v Speaker 13>exactly mostly peaceful. These are all crazy conspiracy theories, right,

0:34:06.400 --> 0:34:08.560
<v Speaker 13>every single one of them obvious he proved true. The

0:34:08.680 --> 0:34:12.040
<v Speaker 13>question is how they entreat the conspiracy theories of the

0:34:12.120 --> 0:34:16.200
<v Speaker 13>right going forward, and Rita, I gotta admit I highly

0:34:16.320 --> 0:34:18.840
<v Speaker 13>doubt that they're going to take them anywhere seriously than

0:34:18.840 --> 0:34:21.279
<v Speaker 13>they took them before, even though they were proven to

0:34:21.320 --> 0:34:24.000
<v Speaker 13>be wrong, and the conspiracy theorists have proven to me

0:34:24.080 --> 0:34:27.520
<v Speaker 13>right time and time and time again. Look, they're still

0:34:27.800 --> 0:34:31.280
<v Speaker 13>doubling down this. Nothing has changed. I mean, Hakim Jeffries

0:34:31.520 --> 0:34:34.160
<v Speaker 13>just talked about how it's a conspiracy theory that we're

0:34:34.200 --> 0:34:38.200
<v Speaker 13>saying that they may have known he had debilitating cancer

0:34:38.520 --> 0:34:43.080
<v Speaker 13>while he was president. Or David Axelrod saying that we

0:34:43.120 --> 0:34:47.200
<v Speaker 13>need to put criticism aside right now, right and asking

0:34:47.280 --> 0:34:50.799
<v Speaker 13>questions aside right now. No, David, this is exactly when

0:34:50.840 --> 0:34:53.040
<v Speaker 13>we have to be asking questions. This is when we

0:34:53.120 --> 0:34:56.279
<v Speaker 13>should be pushing this issue right. No, they have not

0:34:56.400 --> 0:34:59.719
<v Speaker 13>given up the ghost. They are not contrite. They are

0:34:59.719 --> 0:35:01.920
<v Speaker 13>push forward with this and the whole and all of

0:35:01.960 --> 0:35:04.480
<v Speaker 13>America and the world to understand what we're dealing with

0:35:04.520 --> 0:35:06.799
<v Speaker 13>when it comes to the media and how they view this.

0:35:07.520 --> 0:35:09.920
<v Speaker 13>And by the way, I don't think there's any small

0:35:10.200 --> 0:35:12.640
<v Speaker 13>you know, I think there's a connection between the fact

0:35:12.680 --> 0:35:15.000
<v Speaker 13>that we're seeing this happen right these stories are coming

0:35:15.040 --> 0:35:18.600
<v Speaker 13>out and Trump's approval rating are actually spiking for the

0:35:18.600 --> 0:35:20.680
<v Speaker 13>first time. I think people are looking at what the

0:35:21.160 --> 0:35:24.480
<v Speaker 13>quote unquote president was before and the president now and say,

0:35:25.000 --> 0:35:27.040
<v Speaker 13>I think we have a pretty good comparitive. We had

0:35:27.040 --> 0:35:29.359
<v Speaker 13>four years of last four years, So yeah, I think

0:35:29.360 --> 0:35:30.160
<v Speaker 13>there's a connection there.

0:35:32.520 --> 0:35:35.239
<v Speaker 3>And you make an excellent point on the timing of

0:35:35.280 --> 0:35:38.120
<v Speaker 3>this cancer diagnosis, because again this will be called a

0:35:38.200 --> 0:35:43.120
<v Speaker 3>right wing conspiracy theory, but I would suggest the majority

0:35:43.120 --> 0:35:46.680
<v Speaker 3>of Americans at this point don't believe the official narrative

0:35:46.800 --> 0:35:51.840
<v Speaker 3>that that only discovered in recent days that this advanced

0:35:51.880 --> 0:35:52.640
<v Speaker 3>cancer exists.

0:35:52.640 --> 0:35:55.040
<v Speaker 2>In fact, a number of experts have come out and said.

0:35:54.800 --> 0:35:58.640
<v Speaker 3>That's almost impossible to believe, given he is the president

0:35:58.640 --> 0:36:03.960
<v Speaker 3>who would be subjected to regular health checkups, fairly thorough checkups.

0:36:04.520 --> 0:36:08.840
<v Speaker 3>And it's just to me army, mind blowing that Joe

0:36:08.840 --> 0:36:10.320
<v Speaker 3>Biden's family.

0:36:10.080 --> 0:36:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Seeing his mental and physical.

0:36:13.080 --> 0:36:17.200
<v Speaker 3>Decline, wanted him to run again, wanted him to serve

0:36:17.520 --> 0:36:21.359
<v Speaker 3>four more years, and the Democrat machinery were happy to

0:36:21.360 --> 0:36:25.040
<v Speaker 3>help him do that until that disastrous debate performance.

0:36:26.120 --> 0:36:28.600
<v Speaker 2>It's almost cruel.

0:36:28.880 --> 0:36:33.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean, put aside everything else, the lack of transparency,

0:36:34.480 --> 0:36:38.400
<v Speaker 3>all the constitutional issues, but just the cruelty to a

0:36:38.440 --> 0:36:40.799
<v Speaker 3>man who's obviously not fit to lead.

0:36:42.200 --> 0:36:44.560
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, and I'll say one of two things happened. Redo, Okay,

0:36:44.640 --> 0:36:46.960
<v Speaker 13>I think this is much is clear and none of

0:36:47.000 --> 0:36:49.960
<v Speaker 13>them are good. And one is they knew about the

0:36:50.040 --> 0:36:53.160
<v Speaker 13>counter diagnosis and how severe it was and held it

0:36:53.239 --> 0:36:56.520
<v Speaker 13>back and hit it, which is bad enough, right. And

0:36:56.600 --> 0:37:00.040
<v Speaker 13>two is they didn't test him because they knew he

0:37:00.120 --> 0:37:02.920
<v Speaker 13>probably had it, didn't want anyone to know, didn't want

0:37:03.000 --> 0:37:06.120
<v Speaker 13>him to know, and held back this diagnosis four more years,

0:37:06.360 --> 0:37:09.839
<v Speaker 13>leading to a more severe metastating form that's cancer. It's

0:37:09.840 --> 0:37:12.239
<v Speaker 13>one of those two things, and neither one are pretty READO.

0:37:14.480 --> 0:37:15.840
<v Speaker 2>No, they're both pretty ugly.

0:37:15.880 --> 0:37:19.920
<v Speaker 3>And just the family members is mind blowing that they

0:37:19.960 --> 0:37:21.880
<v Speaker 3>would be party to any of that.

0:37:22.600 --> 0:37:26.279
<v Speaker 2>Now, this next story should be satire, but sadly it's not.

0:37:27.200 --> 0:37:31.640
<v Speaker 3>You'll remember Rachel Levine, formerly Richard Levine, the Biden Administration's

0:37:31.640 --> 0:37:33.320
<v Speaker 3>Assistant Secretary for Health.

0:37:33.800 --> 0:37:34.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, he's been.

0:37:34.440 --> 0:37:38.720
<v Speaker 3>Honored by a woman's college. Yes, Smith College presented Levine,

0:37:38.800 --> 0:37:42.399
<v Speaker 3>a man identifying as a woman, with an honorary degree,

0:37:43.120 --> 0:37:46.839
<v Speaker 3>and he also spoke to the school's graduating class. Now

0:37:46.840 --> 0:37:51.320
<v Speaker 3>to qualify for this on our Smith College requirements, state

0:37:51.440 --> 0:37:55.359
<v Speaker 3>that the college will consider women who are exemplars of

0:37:55.440 --> 0:37:58.600
<v Speaker 3>excellence in a wide range of fields, both academic and

0:37:58.640 --> 0:38:02.399
<v Speaker 3>non academic, and the criteria also says the college will

0:38:02.440 --> 0:38:05.920
<v Speaker 3>also consider individuals who have had a special impact on

0:38:05.960 --> 0:38:11.000
<v Speaker 3>Smith College, on the education of men, or on women's lives.

0:38:13.239 --> 0:38:16.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, Army, what do you make of this?

0:38:16.840 --> 0:38:21.640
<v Speaker 3>To me, it's almost satire material. But we continuously see

0:38:22.200 --> 0:38:26.080
<v Speaker 3>men identifying as women being honored with awards that are

0:38:26.560 --> 0:38:29.080
<v Speaker 3>normally reserved for just real women.

0:38:30.640 --> 0:38:33.360
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, first of all, Rita, if I can admonish you,

0:38:33.480 --> 0:38:37.480
<v Speaker 13>it is Admiral Levine, right, and so yes, I salute

0:38:37.520 --> 0:38:41.920
<v Speaker 13>Admiral Levine. Look, I gotta be honest, it doesn't really

0:38:42.000 --> 0:38:46.200
<v Speaker 13>matter to me. Okay, Smith College. Look, they give honorary

0:38:46.200 --> 0:38:48.680
<v Speaker 13>degrees to pretty much anybody. It's really not that big

0:38:48.680 --> 0:38:50.360
<v Speaker 13>a deal. I don't think it's I don't think that

0:38:50.520 --> 0:38:52.040
<v Speaker 13>part of the story is a big part of the story,

0:38:52.239 --> 0:38:54.560
<v Speaker 13>although I do want to point out right is Smith

0:38:54.600 --> 0:38:59.560
<v Speaker 13>College itself and the absurdity, nay, the lack of morality

0:38:59.640 --> 0:39:02.120
<v Speaker 13>of that of that school, that college. There's a couple

0:39:02.160 --> 0:39:04.640
<v Speaker 13>of stories that you may not known about. But Smith

0:39:04.680 --> 0:39:08.160
<v Speaker 13>College not that long ago had this story where there

0:39:08.239 --> 0:39:10.560
<v Speaker 13>was a black woman who went and was sitting eating

0:39:10.880 --> 0:39:13.640
<v Speaker 13>her food in a cafeteria that was closed in back

0:39:13.680 --> 0:39:16.160
<v Speaker 13>specifically said no one's allowed to eat this cafeteria for

0:39:16.200 --> 0:39:18.719
<v Speaker 13>a number of reasons, and a janitor who was given

0:39:18.760 --> 0:39:20.880
<v Speaker 13>that instructions walked up to her and said, excuse me,

0:39:20.920 --> 0:39:22.960
<v Speaker 13>but you're actually not allowed to eat here. She then

0:39:23.000 --> 0:39:25.359
<v Speaker 13>went to full meltdown mode and said, you are doing

0:39:25.360 --> 0:39:27.960
<v Speaker 13>this because I am black. I am eating while black,

0:39:28.080 --> 0:39:30.719
<v Speaker 13>not kidding. She had a total hissy fit.

0:39:30.920 --> 0:39:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh yes, I recall that story.

0:39:32.800 --> 0:39:35.399
<v Speaker 13>Well, security guard, that's right. Security guard came in and said,

0:39:35.400 --> 0:39:37.440
<v Speaker 13>I'm sorry, you're not gonna be here. What does Smith

0:39:37.520 --> 0:39:41.520
<v Speaker 13>College do? They fired the janitor, who was a working

0:39:41.600 --> 0:39:45.280
<v Speaker 13>man from the area and the security guard right after.

0:39:45.400 --> 0:39:46.480
<v Speaker 13>It was very clear that.

0:39:46.560 --> 0:39:47.440
<v Speaker 8>She was wrong.

0:39:48.480 --> 0:39:51.719
<v Speaker 13>They were following the dictat of the university themselves. Yet

0:39:51.719 --> 0:39:57.200
<v Speaker 13>they fired a blue class, lower class worker because a

0:39:57.280 --> 0:39:58.919
<v Speaker 13>black woman was eating in a person.

0:39:59.040 --> 0:40:00.040
<v Speaker 5>This is Smith College.

0:40:00.080 --> 0:40:01.920
<v Speaker 13>And one last story, if they met.

0:40:02.200 --> 0:40:05.440
<v Speaker 3>Smith College, that is who they are.

0:40:05.520 --> 0:40:07.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we've run out of time. Thank you so

0:40:07.680 --> 0:40:08.960
<v Speaker 2>much for your time tonight.

0:40:09.520 --> 0:40:13.680
<v Speaker 3>Pleasures stal To carm Premier listen to Alan left fuming

0:40:13.800 --> 0:40:17.080
<v Speaker 3>after a stunt that saw manure dumped at her office.

0:40:17.080 --> 0:40:20.879
<v Speaker 3>The Liberal m P accused of facilitating that stunt joins me.

0:40:20.880 --> 0:40:30.759
<v Speaker 2>Next, welcome back.

0:40:30.920 --> 0:40:33.560
<v Speaker 3>Joining me now is the state Liberal member for the

0:40:33.560 --> 0:40:37.520
<v Speaker 3>Western Victorian region, Bev MacArthur. Now, Bev, you were present

0:40:37.600 --> 0:40:40.440
<v Speaker 3>at the Raleigh yesterday on the steps of Parliament House.

0:40:40.480 --> 0:40:44.239
<v Speaker 3>We saw firefighters and farmers in large numbers protesting the

0:40:44.280 --> 0:40:49.000
<v Speaker 3>Allen government's new emergency services tax, which, as you say,

0:40:49.160 --> 0:40:53.120
<v Speaker 3>punishes the very farmers who helped protect regional communities by

0:40:53.239 --> 0:40:54.800
<v Speaker 3>volunteering in the CFA.

0:40:56.000 --> 0:40:57.600
<v Speaker 5>Jane, I think you're a fine west.

0:40:59.520 --> 0:40:59.960
<v Speaker 3>About it.

0:41:00.080 --> 0:41:04.120
<v Speaker 13>Did you're also a volunteer? Have a bit ban that.

0:41:04.200 --> 0:41:05.080
<v Speaker 7>Tell us the story.

0:41:06.120 --> 0:41:09.640
<v Speaker 3>Now your party has pledged to scraped attacks should you

0:41:09.760 --> 0:41:13.200
<v Speaker 3>win the state election in twenty twenty six. But that

0:41:13.239 --> 0:41:16.399
<v Speaker 3>wasn't the only protest you were present for yesterday. Also

0:41:16.480 --> 0:41:19.759
<v Speaker 3>helped a farmer deliver a small gift to listen to

0:41:19.800 --> 0:41:23.480
<v Speaker 3>Allan's parliamentary office, a box of cow manure along with

0:41:23.560 --> 0:41:27.200
<v Speaker 3>a note reading, dearest Ja Center, I have considered your

0:41:27.280 --> 0:41:32.960
<v Speaker 3>levy and here's my feedback. It's bull dust, love, Brutus

0:41:32.960 --> 0:41:37.560
<v Speaker 3>and family. Now, the Premier did not take this well

0:41:37.719 --> 0:41:38.440
<v Speaker 3>the couple.

0:41:38.200 --> 0:41:45.080
<v Speaker 15>Of liberal politicians acted in a disgraceful inappropriate way in

0:41:45.120 --> 0:41:51.120
<v Speaker 15>a workplace, in the parliamentary workplace. Well, I condemn that behavior.

0:41:51.560 --> 0:41:54.480
<v Speaker 15>You know who hasn't condemned that behavior, the leader of

0:41:54.480 --> 0:41:55.680
<v Speaker 15>the Opposition, Brad Baton.

0:41:56.080 --> 0:41:58.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh mine, that's a little bit precious, bear, because I

0:41:58.520 --> 0:42:02.320
<v Speaker 3>understand that this incident is before the Parliament's presiding offices.

0:42:02.400 --> 0:42:05.920
<v Speaker 3>Is there anything you can tell us about this? Are

0:42:05.960 --> 0:42:09.520
<v Speaker 3>you restricted in what you can say until it's been resolved?

0:42:11.080 --> 0:42:15.719
<v Speaker 8>Well, nobody has comment contacted me, Rita. But all I

0:42:15.760 --> 0:42:19.600
<v Speaker 8>can say is this labor government has failed over a

0:42:19.640 --> 0:42:23.239
<v Speaker 8>long period of time since they introduced this text to

0:42:23.400 --> 0:42:29.160
<v Speaker 8>listen to anybody. They won't answer emails of constituents, they

0:42:29.200 --> 0:42:33.280
<v Speaker 8>won't answer phone calls, they won't attend rallies. They weren't

0:42:33.320 --> 0:42:37.120
<v Speaker 8>on the steps of Parliament yesterday. They just do not listen.

0:42:37.440 --> 0:42:41.440
<v Speaker 8>And the farming community, and they make up a large

0:42:41.440 --> 0:42:46.279
<v Speaker 8>percentage of the CFA volunteer firefighters, are at their wits end.

0:42:46.719 --> 0:42:51.720
<v Speaker 8>They're in desperate situations, Rita. The drought, of some estimate

0:42:51.840 --> 0:42:57.520
<v Speaker 8>is worse than the nineteen hundred drought. There no water,

0:42:57.760 --> 0:43:01.200
<v Speaker 8>there's no fodder, and they can hardly get it from anywhere,

0:43:01.840 --> 0:43:05.040
<v Speaker 8>even if it's available from interstate. I understand this fodder

0:43:05.120 --> 0:43:09.399
<v Speaker 8>in Western Australia, but South Australia won't let us bring

0:43:09.440 --> 0:43:13.360
<v Speaker 8>it across the border. They're in a terrible situation. The

0:43:14.080 --> 0:43:17.680
<v Speaker 8>mental strain on farmers at the moment is terrible and

0:43:17.719 --> 0:43:24.239
<v Speaker 8>they're desperate and it's not fair that they impose attacks,

0:43:24.560 --> 0:43:28.120
<v Speaker 8>which I am so pleased the Coalition has pledged to

0:43:28.239 --> 0:43:33.120
<v Speaker 8>repeal when we defeat this shocking government in November twenty six.

0:43:33.880 --> 0:43:36.880
<v Speaker 8>This is what has to happen. You can't just keep

0:43:37.360 --> 0:43:41.480
<v Speaker 8>hitting people like this government's doing, and especially people that

0:43:41.719 --> 0:43:46.440
<v Speaker 8>feed those inside the tram tracks one hundred percent of

0:43:46.520 --> 0:43:53.040
<v Speaker 8>the time. It's a very sad situation out in the country, Rita,

0:43:53.239 --> 0:43:57.240
<v Speaker 8>and I'll stand with the farmers and the volunteer firefighters

0:43:57.520 --> 0:44:02.920
<v Speaker 8>and the professional firefighters. Every day they're looking after us.

0:44:02.960 --> 0:44:05.600
<v Speaker 8>They leave their properties to go and fight fight us,

0:44:05.719 --> 0:44:12.319
<v Speaker 8>often on state land, state forests, national parts. That's where

0:44:12.360 --> 0:44:16.640
<v Speaker 8>the fist start because of absolutely shocking management by this government.

0:44:17.200 --> 0:44:19.440
<v Speaker 8>And now they're going to be hit with one hundred

0:44:19.480 --> 0:44:24.280
<v Speaker 8>and fifty percent increase in attacks, which they absolutely can't afford,

0:44:24.480 --> 0:44:25.800
<v Speaker 8>especially at this time.

0:44:28.239 --> 0:44:32.120
<v Speaker 3>Now, You're right about the drought in parts of Victoria's

0:44:32.200 --> 0:44:36.280
<v Speaker 3>it's the worst we've ever seen. It's seen farmers forced

0:44:36.320 --> 0:44:39.239
<v Speaker 3>to send thousands of dairy cattle to be slaughtered because

0:44:39.239 --> 0:44:40.680
<v Speaker 3>they can't afford to feed them.

0:44:40.719 --> 0:44:43.880
<v Speaker 2>Feed costs of sought to record highs.

0:44:44.680 --> 0:44:49.239
<v Speaker 3>You've called on Victoria's Minister for Agriculture to address this situation.

0:44:49.400 --> 0:44:52.279
<v Speaker 3>What is being done to assist these farmers because there

0:44:52.320 --> 0:44:55.880
<v Speaker 3>seems to be a big divide between city folk and

0:44:56.320 --> 0:44:59.759
<v Speaker 3>regional people in this state. So many people in the

0:44:59.800 --> 0:45:03.160
<v Speaker 3>city aren't even aware about what's happening, and with this

0:45:03.520 --> 0:45:06.760
<v Speaker 3>crippling drought impacting so many farmers.

0:45:07.600 --> 0:45:11.120
<v Speaker 8>Well, thank you Rita for raising the issue, and it's

0:45:11.160 --> 0:45:13.880
<v Speaker 8>great that some of the metropolitan media are now picking

0:45:13.920 --> 0:45:18.680
<v Speaker 8>this up. And I'm sure people inside the tram tracks

0:45:19.560 --> 0:45:22.359
<v Speaker 8>they have great sympathy for the farming community because they

0:45:22.400 --> 0:45:25.960
<v Speaker 8>know they work hard. Their price takers, not price makers,

0:45:26.360 --> 0:45:28.600
<v Speaker 8>and it's very hard for them to get a product

0:45:28.640 --> 0:45:31.920
<v Speaker 8>to market and make a profit in the best of times.

0:45:32.320 --> 0:45:39.320
<v Speaker 8>Now when they're confronted by adverse weather conditions, increase rate rises,

0:45:39.520 --> 0:45:46.440
<v Speaker 8>increase bank interest rates, and huge increase in their input

0:45:46.520 --> 0:45:50.080
<v Speaker 8>costs as well, and then this tax on top it's

0:45:50.160 --> 0:45:53.799
<v Speaker 8>just been the last straw, combined with this drought. I

0:45:53.880 --> 0:45:57.760
<v Speaker 8>know on our farm there's just dirt. You can't see

0:45:57.800 --> 0:46:00.359
<v Speaker 8>anything but dirt, and with this a bit to win,

0:46:00.520 --> 0:46:05.399
<v Speaker 8>the topsails blowing away. So I've asked the Minister for Agriculture,

0:46:05.400 --> 0:46:08.319
<v Speaker 8>the state minister, to come and look at what the

0:46:08.400 --> 0:46:12.920
<v Speaker 8>situation is in our area. See for yourself how desperate

0:46:12.960 --> 0:46:16.359
<v Speaker 8>people are and how desperate the situation is. And there

0:46:16.360 --> 0:46:19.320
<v Speaker 8>are dairy farmers that are having to liquidate their herds.

0:46:20.440 --> 0:46:23.600
<v Speaker 8>And I was told by a counselor yesterday at the

0:46:23.719 --> 0:46:27.440
<v Speaker 8>rally that he'd been phoned by a farmer that morning.

0:46:27.480 --> 0:46:29.600
<v Speaker 8>He was just going to have to shoot forty cows,

0:46:30.000 --> 0:46:34.160
<v Speaker 8>but tens of thousands are going to the slaughter house.

0:46:34.280 --> 0:46:37.800
<v Speaker 8>And these are productive milking cows. Some of the beef

0:46:37.840 --> 0:46:41.399
<v Speaker 8>cattle that people can no longer retain are being sent

0:46:41.440 --> 0:46:46.080
<v Speaker 8>into state. But it's a shocking situation. And what the

0:46:46.080 --> 0:46:49.720
<v Speaker 8>government have handed out is a five thousand dollar grant

0:46:49.920 --> 0:46:51.839
<v Speaker 8>that you have to match if you're a farmer. Well

0:46:51.920 --> 0:46:54.680
<v Speaker 8>right now they don't have us spare five thousand dollars,

0:46:54.680 --> 0:46:57.839
<v Speaker 8>And in any case, where would ten thousand dollars go.

0:46:58.120 --> 0:47:01.480
<v Speaker 8>If you're trying and you've got to invested in infrastructure,

0:47:02.040 --> 0:47:03.400
<v Speaker 8>it's absolutely nothing.

0:47:05.840 --> 0:47:11.520
<v Speaker 3>And we had the state budget yesterday, Bev. It's grim figures.

0:47:11.600 --> 0:47:13.120
<v Speaker 2>There's now the way to look at it.

0:47:13.600 --> 0:47:17.920
<v Speaker 3>The Labor Government's annual tax take in Victoria is on

0:47:18.040 --> 0:47:21.480
<v Speaker 3>track to hit fifty billion by twenty thirty. You compare

0:47:21.520 --> 0:47:24.360
<v Speaker 3>that to what it was when Dad Andrews came to

0:47:24.440 --> 0:47:26.080
<v Speaker 3>power back in twenty fourteen.

0:47:26.080 --> 0:47:28.160
<v Speaker 2>It was eighteen point three billion.

0:47:28.239 --> 0:47:33.080
<v Speaker 3>So eighteen point three to fifty billion, and the state

0:47:33.200 --> 0:47:37.239
<v Speaker 3>debt is on track to hit two hundred billion. You

0:47:37.360 --> 0:47:39.759
<v Speaker 3>say you, if you were in power, you would do

0:47:39.840 --> 0:47:42.840
<v Speaker 3>something about this emergency services tax. But how can you

0:47:42.880 --> 0:47:47.200
<v Speaker 3>afford to This state is under crippling debt, the biggest

0:47:47.200 --> 0:47:50.600
<v Speaker 3>in the country. Surely money needs to come from somewhere.

0:47:52.080 --> 0:47:55.880
<v Speaker 8>Well, it shouldn't come from those who are in the

0:47:55.920 --> 0:48:00.680
<v Speaker 8>most desperate situation. The Fire services levy, as it was

0:48:00.719 --> 0:48:06.120
<v Speaker 8>first introduced, was to pay for fire services, and we

0:48:06.160 --> 0:48:10.440
<v Speaker 8>would ensure that that stayed as it was, but all

0:48:10.480 --> 0:48:15.160
<v Speaker 8>these other services were funded out of consolidated revenue. They've

0:48:15.280 --> 0:48:19.960
<v Speaker 8>just foisted a new property tax on Victorians. Every Victorian,

0:48:20.320 --> 0:48:23.720
<v Speaker 8>every household in Victoria will have one hundred percent increase.

0:48:24.040 --> 0:48:28.400
<v Speaker 8>Businesses and enterprises will have a further much higher increase,

0:48:28.480 --> 0:48:32.000
<v Speaker 8>and farmers was one hundred and eighty nine percent increase,

0:48:32.080 --> 0:48:36.919
<v Speaker 8>downdown to one hundred and fifty percent. So these core

0:48:37.040 --> 0:48:40.800
<v Speaker 8>services of keeping people safe should be the first priority

0:48:40.840 --> 0:48:43.680
<v Speaker 8>of government, that's what they should do. The fact that

0:48:43.719 --> 0:48:48.160
<v Speaker 8>they run these huge projects over budget, over time all

0:48:48.239 --> 0:48:52.160
<v Speaker 8>the time, and they're sucking everything out of the rest

0:48:52.160 --> 0:48:55.240
<v Speaker 8>of the economy to pay for their vanity projects inside

0:48:55.280 --> 0:48:58.360
<v Speaker 8>the tram tracks, and they expect people out outside of

0:48:58.400 --> 0:49:01.800
<v Speaker 8>the tram tracks to foot the bill. Bill. It's disgraceful.

0:49:04.239 --> 0:49:06.640
<v Speaker 3>Bev MacArthur, thank you so much for your time tonight,

0:49:07.440 --> 0:49:09.720
<v Speaker 3>and that's all the time we have tonight.

0:49:09.800 --> 0:49:12.600
<v Speaker 2>I'll see you at eleven tomorrow night. Don't go on

0:49:12.640 --> 0:49:14.400
<v Speaker 2>your air. Newsnight is up next
