  Speaker 1: On scoring leaves Australia. This is the Wider Panalty Show.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Riata Panecky Show. Coming
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: up tonight, the Victorian Premier forced to concede that the
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: state's bail laws are in disarray. The Queensland town in
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: an uproar about a garbage late intensity that's popped up
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: at a local reserve. We'll have the latest from the
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: US with Kosher Gata and Professor Ian Plymer will unpack
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: the climate craziness that is sending your power bills through
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: the roof. And later in the hour special guest takes
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: a stand for Milania Trump after she was attacked by
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: the ideologues at Vogue magazine.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: And of course we never forget left.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: He's losing it tonight featuring stars from the Grammys.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: And it changes the game. DEEI is not a threat,
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: it's a gift.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: But first let's bring in News Corps Senior writer Patrick
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Carl and Patrick Welcome to the program.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Let's start with business and.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Industry groups preparing to launch what would be the largest
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: third party election campaign in Australia's political history.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Amid fears of a hung parliament.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: The groups are expected to launch campaigns to try and
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: influence swing voters and what is being called one of
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: the most crucial elections of our time.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Patrick. Finally, we're seeing these.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Business groups actually advocate for their own interests, for the
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: interests of their shareholders, their staff, other stakeholders, as opposed
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: to being tied up in all these social woke issues
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: they normally like to involve themselves, and this is actually
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: about how these policies will impact the running of their business.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: Look, this is fascinating because the data is so specific.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: Now you can have these groups, whether it's unions or
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: business groups, actually targeting specific polling booths and they can
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: work out apprentices live near that polling booth and a
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: lot of people with negative gearing investments live near that
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: polling group. And so you're going to have this very
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: targeted micro campaign for an election where nobody knows the result.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: It's all based on the fact that the ALP soft
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: primary vote is so soft at the moment. These sort
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: of micro strategies in very targeted area is going to
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: have a real impact on the result.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: What do you say to fears that this is akin
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: to buying an election.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: You're going to have the.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Top end of town determining how people vote. Do you
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: buy that because we know how much the unions spend
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: in this arena.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: Look, look, those fears are warranted, perhaps in the sense
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: that they're going to be in the game in a
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: way that they haven't been in the game before.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: And it's because of the data. It's because of the technology.
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: They will be very targeted and you'll see them really
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: campaign hard in very very specific areas in a way
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: that they haven't before. And you can argue, yes, they're
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: going to have more sway potentially, but that's sort of
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: it's a product of the technology.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: The world is moving forward slowly.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Indeed it is.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: And Robert got Bleison has written a fascinating piece in
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: The Australian newspaper about Labour's new unrealized gains tax, a
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: tax which here calls one of the most vicious taxes
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: ever conceived by an Australian government. This tax will not
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: be index and has got beliefs and rights. The biggest
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: victims will be those trying to develop a new business
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: and asking for capital to help. Nobody will invest if
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: they have to sell assets to pay for the unrealized
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: gains tax and if there is a later loss, they
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: must wait for capital profits to get the money back.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Patrick's what happened to Labour's election promise.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I'm sure I remember something back in twenty twenty two
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: about no new taxes.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Yes, vaguely, yes, Robert's under something here.
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: I mean, very few countries in the world have taxes
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: on unrealized profits, and so they're basically potentially going to
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: ask for you to pay for money that you actually
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: don't have, which will force people to businesses to sell assets,
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: investors to sell things merely to pay the tax. It's
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: not fair, it's anti aspirational, it's anti innovation, and it's
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: anti productive in the sense that you want investment, and
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: this is anti investment.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: It is definitely anti investment. And when you've already got
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: an environment of high regulation, high tax, it's just another
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: reason for people to invest elsewhere. And we know what's
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: happening in the US and environment's been created there that
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: is very pro investment. So if you're a big multinational
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: you've got to wonder why you would invest in Australia
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: at with the current conditions. Let's talk about Victoria. The
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: state is buckling under the weight of record debt and
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: premiages into Alan seems to be preoccupied with other priorities.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Here's what she's been posting on X.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: She wrote, I want.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: To send a message to every LGBTQ plus Victorian in
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: our state today.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I know that right now you might look at.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: The world with fear and uncertainty, fear for your community,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: fear for your safety, fear for a future that might
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: end up looking a lot more like the past.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: But I want you to know this.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: In Victoria, you have a government and a premiere who
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: believes in equality and believes.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: In a you. Oh, dear man.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Now, she has been ratioed to Helen back on X
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: for that incoherent virtue signaling that basically means Patrick that
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: she has been flooded with negative responses, people taking her
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: to task for what she has written there, her failure
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: to stand up for women's rights, women's spaces. After all,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Victoria is a place where we have a male sexual
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: predator identifying as a woman in a woman's prison.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is the sort of madness that the
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: rest of the world can only imagine it's happening in Victoria.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: Look, I think most people Victoria, Australians, the world sick
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: of the woke sort of ideology. And I think this
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: is sort of presented as a heartfelt message of love.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: It's actually very cynical. I think it's actually saying I
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: feel your fears, you have reasons to be fearful.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: We might go back to what was a long time ago.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: And that's very why because Donald Trump has said take
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the pronouns out of your email address if you're a
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: government employee. That's what's requiring the Victorian Premiere down a.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Year to look.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: There's been no hate related incident in Victoria that prompted this.
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: This comes out of nowhere, and I would expect that
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: the negative sort of X reviews, as you say, would continue,
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: because it's misplaced right.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Now, especially when you look at the many, many real
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: issues happening in Victoria, and one of them that the
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Victorian Premier has acknowledge is ordered yet another review, this
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: time into the state's bail laws, conceding that something has
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: gone seriously.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Wrong in me to record low polling figures.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: And I do wonder really whether she has grasped what
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: the problem is here or whether she's just reading the
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: polls and knows that crime is a big issue in
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: this state, and coming up to an election, it's an
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: area where labor struggled because pretty much everything they've done
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: has weakened the criminal response, and it's in boldened the
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: criminal class, particularly when you see these bail laws, kids getting.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Out ten, eleven, twelve times, well.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: There were sixty times. In one case November last year,
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: a fourteen year old was bailed for the I think
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: the fiftieth time. He'd been accused of home invasions, driving
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: stolen cars, and police pursuits. And we've had people die
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: on our roads from this kind of behavior. Obviously, his
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: rights were put ahead of the rights of everybody else
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: to feel safe, and that's been the problem. People don't
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: feel safe. It's as much a perception problem as a
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: reality problem. People were having, you know, waking up at
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: two am to thleeves in their homes trying to find
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: their car keys.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: They're being menaced and terrorized.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: And I think if just Allen was saying this back
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: in September twenty twenty three, once you took over from
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: Dan Andrews, you'd say that's great, we welcome these It's
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: far too late.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: It is it's too little, too late.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: And when you've got police telling frightened Victorians, well, you know,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: just leave your keys by the door so they don't
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: come and try to confront you when you're in your
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: own home.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: That is not a good place for a first world
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: city to be.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: And things haven't changed here in a very very negative
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: manner and it's hard to deny it. Now let's go
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: to Queensland, where residents of Morton Bay have expressed their
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: outrage over a garbage late in tense city that has
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: popped up in a local reserve. Seriously, how hard is
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: it to show some respect and keep your area tidy.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I feel for those who are struggling, but this is appalling,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: said one local. Another person wrote human dumping ground. Seriously,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: there is no reason to live in filth. Morton Bay
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Mayor Peter Flattery has also condemned the state of the site.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: He said, when public spaces are misused resulting in serious
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: health and safety risks and destruction of property, we will
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: unequivocally act to protect the broader community and council assets.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: The rubbish there is horrendous, but again, this is a
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: failure of government to have people living in these sort
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: of tent cities. We are a rich nation, We've got
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: a very generous safety net, very generous welfare system, and
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: yet we've still got people in this state.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: Look, I feel firstly very sorry for the local residents
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: who are putting up with this, and for the mayor
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: as well. I mean, he's sort of saying the right things,
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: and he's making the point. This is not about the
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: politics of homelessness, which is a very important discussion I
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: have about public safety and health, and I think people
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: are being threatened. There are police escorts for council offices. Look,
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: I agree with that. We are a first world nation.
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: We have lots of safety nets. The fact that this
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: is happening anywhere is outrageous. It should not be happening.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: It should And when you look at places like La
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: San Francisco, anyone who's visited those cities in the last
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: five years, last ten years, the homelessness issue has just
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: got worse and worse and worse. And we don't want
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: to be even contemplating being anything like that. And you
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: see those tense cities all around there. I've seen it
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: in Melbourne. Queensland is now grappling with it. Do you
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: see this as as a wider issue with the housing crisis.
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: I think officially there's one hundred and twenty thousand homeless
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: people in Australia.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: If people are living in.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: Tens, I mean, look, we have a good welfare system,
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: we have good minimum wages to protect workers. We've got
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: most things right in ways that parts of America do not.
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: This should not be happening, and it does go. The
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: obvious place to go is where have governments failed in
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: looking after and taking care of citizens who are struggling.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: It shouldn't be happening here.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Now, just quickly, let's have a look at Matilda's captain,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: a soccer Servers star, Sam Kerr.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: She's on trial in London for.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Legend racial abuse of a UK police officer, and we
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: now have the police bodycam footage showing what Kerr actually said.
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: Honestly, you have stupid and white Okay, stupid, I'm talking
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: over this. This is the world problem.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Wait on the call, Wait on the call. Call does
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: not look great.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: But as much as I'm not an enormous fan of
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: some of the politics of some of our sporting stars,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: including Zam, I do think to be on trial for
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: something like this it's just a bit too much a fine,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: a caution, But to actually be in a criminal trial.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Is that what's happening now in the UK?
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: It's the old rule read nothing good happens after two
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: am anywhere in the world. Look, it does seem ridiculous
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: that some has got to be she's playing out in public.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: Everyone's hanging on every word and every piece of footage
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: in a way.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Which is a brash. But that a very bad night
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: a court case.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Yes, to suggest.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: That's criminal or somehow caused offense, I mean that law
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: was not brought in for white people.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: You can argue whether it's a good law or not.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: But to sort of suggest that the police officers somehow
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: suffered dramatically from what came out of her mouth that
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: point in time is crazy.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I agree with that, But I've got to say, if
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: you're going to apply these laws and send people to
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: court over hurty words, then they've got to apply across
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: the board, whether you say white or black or anything
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: in between.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: It's got to apply equally.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: But I would just rather not see the court's time
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: wasted with this sort of nonsense. Patrick Carline, thanks for
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: your time.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Thanks for Enoch joining me.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Now is a steam geologist and author, Professor in Plymber. Professor,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Australia's largest business body, slamming labors eighty two percent renewables target.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: They say it's unrealistic and in urgent need of a revisit.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: The group says that.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: The government must drop its green energy targets and fast
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: track gas exploration in order to return power prices to
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: affordable levels and make the grid reliable again. I'm sure
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: this is exactly what you and I have been talking
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: about for years on this program, but it's fantastic to
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: hear this from a peak business lobby group.
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: Well, they're exactly right. We have nine percent of all
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: energy at present comes from renewables. Ninety one percent of
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: all energy is from coal and from oil and from gas.
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: So if you want to get to eighty three percent
• 14:29
  Speaker 7: or eighty two percent, you've got a very long way
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: to go. And if you want to do it before
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: twenty thirty, you've only got five years.
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: So it's just a time problem. It's just not able
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: to do it now.
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: The economic reality is there's a total, absolute waste of money.
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: We once had very good, reliable, cheap electricity, especially in Victoria.
• 14:51
  Speaker 8: This came from coal, and we burnt coal.
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: In Queensland and New South Wales and apparently the gas
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: of life, the carbon dioxide, has now been deemed so
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: we've stopped burning coal, putting carbon dioxide back into the
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: atmosphere where it originally came from, and denying plants food
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: for some ideological reason. So reality catches up with you,
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: and it's catching up with a labor party.
• 15:15
  Speaker 8: Now it's also catching up with the Libs. You have
• 15:18
  Speaker 8: the same sort of policy.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Well, yes, the Libs seem to be in denial themselves
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: because yes they've got a nuclear plan, but they seem
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: to be staying with Paris at a time when the
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: entire Paris climate Deal is now irrelevant. The biggest countries
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: have walked away or it doesn't.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Apply to them.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Now, let's talk about TV star Katrina round Tree unleashing
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: on the Victorian government over its plans to destroy seven
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: hundred and seventy hectares of picturesque farmland at the base
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: of the u Yangs. This is the Yu Yang's Mountain range.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: They want to put a huge newable energy project right there.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: It's going to be near her her farm and the
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: smaller country town of Little River. And we're seeing these
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: projects pop up across the country.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: How much consultation is.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: There with the local community before these projects go ahead.
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: Well, there's apparently consultation.
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: And this is basically where they listen and don't absorb
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: anything and do what they originally plan.
• 16:29
  Speaker 8: And you have to remember that Australian governments are borrowing.
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: Money for these projects. This money goes to foreign corporations
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: who build the solar and wind industrial complexes, take the
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: money out of Australia and then leave Australians with the
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: mess to clean up. This is not very good practice.
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: And as we should know, wind turbines are dreadfully polluting.
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: They release from the blades chemicals which spread wide and far.
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: When you try to get rid of the blow aids,
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: you have to cut them up and bury them because
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: you can't recycle them. They kill birds, they kill bats,
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: they kill wales. This is not environmentalism. This is passing
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: money to your cronies elsewhere in the world, giving them
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: a fortune of taxpayers money. And every time we put
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: new renewables into the grid, our electricity costs go up.
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: So these are very very silly plans which are costing
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: us dearly, especially those people in rural areas where they
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: don't have the electoral power.
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: That inner city greens who don't see the mess can
• 17:35
  Speaker 8: actually drive the whole agenda.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Now, the Guardian and newspaper Guardian Australia has reported on
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: a study by Monash University about attitudes towards climate science.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: I'm loving how they have spun this. They he say
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: that of those who believe the climate crisis was a conspiracy,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: more than a third twenty seven percent picked commercial TV
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: and radio as their main source of news, while only
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: eight percent chose non commercial TV or radio. Just eight
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: percent of those who believe the human induced climate crisis
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: was a conspiracy use public radio and television as their
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: main source of news. So, in other words, in those
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: who support the climate cause seem to have been brainwashed
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: by far left publicly funded broadcasters like the ABC Spares,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: while those who consume a range of media seem to
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: get a broader picture and they can think for themselves.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: They're not being alarmed about all of us dying within
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: five years.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Is that what you got out of this study? I
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: thought it was very amusingly presented.
• 18:54
  Speaker 9: Well, once you the word Guardian, I turn off and
• 18:57
  Speaker 9: think of something else, because you can be guaranteed that
• 19:02
  Speaker 9: their interpretation of data is very different from reality.
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: Now, maybe it's not a conspiracy.
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: Maybe there's a bulk of people out there who think
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: about reality and maybe they look at the costs. Maybe
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: they think of the environmental damage. Maybe they think that
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: years ago we once had cheap, reliable electricity and for
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: some reason, perhaps renewables, the electricity costs have gone through
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: the roots. So I think the Guardian is heading for extinction.
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: This article demonstrates it. So good luck to the Guardian.
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: If you're a Guardian reader, you shouldn't be watching this program.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Finally, I let's check in with what is purportedly Australia's
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: leading independent think tank. Independent is doing a lot of
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: heavy lifting there. The Australian Institute recently published this video
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: to their social media side. So if you can make
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: sense of this, we're not.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: To stop exiting holding gas in Australia. It's a huge industry.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: It's huge industry.
• 20:05
  Speaker 10: It doesn't bring much to the Australian economy though, if anything,
• 20:08
  Speaker 10: it costs the Australian economy. You're right, it's an absolutely
• 20:13
  Speaker 10: huge industry. It's not a big employer though it doesn't
• 20:15
  Speaker 10: pay much tax, doesn't pay.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Much in royalties and the profits go offshore.
• 20:18
  Speaker 10: So I don't know why we're not going to get
• 20:21
  Speaker 10: rid of the gas industry in Australia.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: It doesn't contribute that much. And is that a sound advice?
• 20:27
  Speaker 8: Firstly, they pay royalties.
• 20:29
  Speaker 7: Secondly, she should go to a town like Roma in Queensland,
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: which was a struggling cattle town until gas came there.
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: There is full employment, a town is booming and gas
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: has done a huge amount for local communities in rural
• 20:44
  Speaker 7: areas where there's not much employment. So these people should
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: get out of the cities, should get into rural Australia
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: and actually have a look and possibly even talk to people,
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: although they need to speak a different language.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Oh yes, that is not going to happen. I just
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: cannot believe the confidence with which she spewed all that
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: incredible professor Ian Plymer, thank you so much for your
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: time this evening.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Thank you still to KRMA lefties losing it.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Plus, have the Democrats finally moved on from their d
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: race obsessions Kosher Gator is up next watching the Reader
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Paney Show. And now it's time for lefties Losing it
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: and let's take a look at the Grammars. They were
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: just on though no one with a life seems to
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: care too much, But we had an assortment of lefties
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: losing it. So let's have a look at the top five. Now.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: While much of the attention was on the tachy exhibitionist
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: antics of Carnie and his Australian victim or i mean wife, Biankersen, Sorry,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: it was the usual suspects with their TDS afflictions that
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: sought to turn a night about music into one about politics.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Let's start with an award that was nakedly political. Giving
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Beyonce the Best Country Album is just pure politics. She
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: is about as country as she is a natural blonde.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Even she looked embarrassed by this award.
• 22:29
  Speaker 11: Cowboy coder, Wow, I really was not expecting this.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're all shocked, and no one who actually listens
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: to and loves country music takes that seriously, because whether
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: your lover her album or not, it ain't country folks.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Now coming in at number four and the Grammy's Lefties
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Losing It list is Shakira, who couldn't help but virtue
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: signal in a most vacuous and unnecessary fashion.
• 23:05
  Speaker 11: I wanted dedicay.
• 23:06
  Speaker 12: This a word to all my immigrant brothers and sisters.
• 23:15
  Speaker 11: In best country.
• 23:18
  Speaker 13: You're loved, You're worth it, and I will always fight
• 23:22
  Speaker 13: with you.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: She will always fight with us. Why what do we do, Shakira.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Imagine being so out of touch that you miss that
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Latina voters, Hispanic voters supported Trump in enormous numbers, or
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: being so thick that you conflate illegal immigration with legal immigration.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Not a single legal migrant is facing deportation or needs
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: to be told by a Colombian songstress that.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: They are loved. Now to the number three position, and
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: it goes to a queer singer. That's what she calls herself.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: I've never heard of her, but she did win Best
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: New Artists, and of course she had to mouth off
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: about the Lgbtquia plus plus community and what she calls Transjoy.
• 24:10
  Speaker 14: Trans people have always existed and they will forever exist
• 24:13
  Speaker 14: and they will never no matter what happens teake trans
• 24:17
  Speaker 14: Joy away, and that has to be protected more than anything,
• 24:20
  Speaker 14: because I would not be here with our trans girls.
• 24:24
  Speaker 14: So just know that pop music is thinking about you
• 24:29
  Speaker 14: and cares about you.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Coming in at number two is another activist who has
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: long been vocal in her support for the Democrats, who
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: has urged Americans.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: To vote for Hillary, vote for Biden and.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Kamala, and who is a single woman with little idea
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: of the national divorce happening in the LGBTQ community, where
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: many lgb folk are saying goodbye to the TQ activist.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Here is a Lady Guar.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Telling trans people that they're not invisible, No kidding.
• 25:05
  Speaker 11: Trans people are not invisible.
• 25:10
  Speaker 13: Trans people deserve love, The queer community deserves to be
• 25:13
  Speaker 13: lifted up.
• 25:17
  Speaker 11: Music is love, Thank you.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: And the number one left You Losing It of the
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Grammys is Alicia key Is.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: You'll remember her.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: She had to apologize or should that be clarify her
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: questionable post about a paraglider whilst dressed in Palestinian colors
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: just a few days after October seven, and who can
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: forget her posing in a burker like it's some high
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: fashion item at a time where Muslim women in countries
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: like Iran are risking their lives fighting against such garments.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: So let's hear what Alicia had to say at the Grammys,
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: I'm sure this is going to be riveting.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: This is not the time to shut down the diversity
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: of voices. We've seen on this stage, talented, hard working
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: people from different backgrounds, with different points of view, and
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: it changes the game. DEI is not a threat, it's
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: a gift. And the more voices, the more power for
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: the sound. When destructive forces try to burn us down,
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: we rise from the ashes like of Phoenix.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: DEI is not a threat, it's a gift.
• 26:37
  Speaker 12: No.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: DEI is neo Marxist lunacy.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: It's racism and sexism dressed up as.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: False tolerance, and it has no place in a.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: Free society where people should be judged on their character
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: and skills, not factors that have zero control over, like
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: their gender, race, ethnicity. As for the diversity on the stage,
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: Alicia Keys talked to bad name one artist who performed
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: or was honored with an award who represents the majority
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: of Americans who voted for Trump.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: Far from being an example.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Of diverse voices, the music industry, like Hollywood, is full
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: of out of touch, privileged idiots, an industry that is
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: among the most closed minded, bigoted, and divorced from reality.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: You are in no position to lecture anyone about anything.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Let's hear now from a member of the LGBTQIA plus
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: plus community.
• 27:34
  Speaker 15: Yesterday, I had the absolute audacity to say, I don't
• 27:38
  Speaker 15: care how many executive orders you sign, you still don't
• 27:41
  Speaker 15: get to tell me who I am.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Yesterday I had the absolute.
• 27:44
  Speaker 16: Audacity of saying, I don't care if you're elected to
• 27:46
  Speaker 16: the highest station in the world.
• 27:48
  Speaker 11: You still don't get to tell me who I am.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Let me have the audacity to tell you, no one
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: cares who you are or how you identify, as long
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: as you don't impose your delusions on us. Unless you
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: compel the rest of us to call you what you
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: identify as what we know you are not, or give
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: you access to our female only areas well you be,
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: you just leave me out of it. There'll be plenty
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: more lefties losing it content with my next guest, and
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: my word has been a meltdown over us AID funding
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: being cut USAID. Every rent seeking lefty is up in arms.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Here is Jamie Raskin railing against Elon Musk.
• 28:35
  Speaker 16: Elon Musk, you didn't create us AID. The United States
• 28:41
  Speaker 16: Congress did for the American people and times like Elon
• 28:46
  Speaker 16: Musk did not create USAID, he doesn't have the power
• 28:50
  Speaker 16: to destroy it, and who's gonna stop him?
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: We are, We're gonna stop him.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: And hysterical squad member Elon omer is also losing her
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: teeny tiny mind over US eight.
• 29:04
  Speaker 13: We are witnessing a constitutional crisis. We talked about Trump
• 29:11
  Speaker 13: wanting to be a dictator on day one, and here
• 29:15
  Speaker 13: we are. This is what the beginning of dictatorship looks like.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: Oh, dear Elon, that is not a dictatorship.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: This is a president with a mandate imposing the policies
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: his duty bound to impose. So what sort of vital
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: funding are they so disturbed about being cut? Let's hear
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: from Caroline Levett, White House Press Secretary about some of
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: the examples where US taxpayers are spending money for US
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: eight to do.
• 29:48
  Speaker 17: What if you look at the waste and abuse that
• 29:51
  Speaker 17: has run through USAID over the past several years, these
• 29:54
  Speaker 17: are some of the insane priorities that that organization has
• 29:58
  Speaker 17: been spending money on. One point five I have million
• 30:00
  Speaker 17: dollars to advance DEI in Serbia's workplaces, seventy thousand for
• 30:05
  Speaker 17: a production of a DEI musical in Ireland, forty seven
• 30:09
  Speaker 17: thousand for a transgender opera in Colombia, thirty two thousand
• 30:14
  Speaker 17: for a transgender comic book in Peru. I don't know
• 30:17
  Speaker 17: about you, but as an American taxpayer, I don't want
• 30:19
  Speaker 17: my dollars going towards this scrap, and I know the
• 30:21
  Speaker 17: American people don't either.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: And let's hear from the man himself, the Later of
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: the Free World Potus, about who is running USIID these days.
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: Well, it's been run by a bunch of radical lunatics,
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: and we're getting them out.
• 30:39
  Speaker 9: Us AID run by radical.
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: Lunatics, and we're getting them out, and then we'll make
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: a decision.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: Joining me now.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Sky News contributor Kosha Gaeta Kosha radical lunatics.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: This is becoming a big issue. But I do wonder
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: whether the Democrats really want to defend the madest spending
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: of us AI day because the more we hear about
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: these items, whether it's thirty five thousand dollars for these
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: or five million for that, it's hard to see how
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: this is in the interests of the American text Pyle.
• 31:18
  Speaker 12: This story has become I think the biggest story of
• 31:20
  Speaker 12: the week, and It was really unexpected. Most people were
• 31:23
  Speaker 12: never thinking about us AID to this level before. And
• 31:26
  Speaker 12: Trump is so good at taking things that are big
• 31:28
  Speaker 12: issues and putting them in the forefront and changing the
• 31:30
  Speaker 12: national discourse. USAID was after there is a statutory law
• 31:35
  Speaker 12: behind it, the Congress pass but then JFK created the
• 31:38
  Speaker 12: agency in nineteen sixty one. Like anything, it's creeped far
• 31:41
  Speaker 12: away from its original mission. It's about forty three billion
• 31:44
  Speaker 12: dollars a year going into all sorts of those DII
• 31:47
  Speaker 12: and productions and museums and those things that we heard about.
• 31:50
  Speaker 12: It's not advancing the interests. There's even more nefarious things
• 31:53
  Speaker 12: like funding gain a function research potentially in Muhan, and
• 31:57
  Speaker 12: meddling in other countries' internal affairs front of money launering.
• 32:00
  Speaker 12: There's all sorts of things coming out of it. And
• 32:02
  Speaker 12: the fact that all those leaders took to the streets
• 32:04
  Speaker 12: to protest Jimmie Raskin and Elin Ormo is very curious
• 32:07
  Speaker 12: for just the dismantling and reorging of an agency. I
• 32:12
  Speaker 12: wouldn't have expected to see them rallying for that, So
• 32:14
  Speaker 12: there must be more underneath it.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: And you've just got to wonder about the political judgment
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: of the Democrats right now. Sure they're in the wilderness,
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: but you've got to start the rebuild, and you've got
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: to start it straight away, and clutching to these sorts
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: of issues seems ill advised. Now the New York Post
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: is reporting that us AID. Us AID workers received an
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: email Monday telling them to stay out of the agency's
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: DC headquarters as a old musk, and the White House
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: moved to shut it down and reorganize it under the
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: State Department. So that is an important point to consider
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: that it may not be gone and buried forever. It
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: is being reimagined, perhaps in the vision that they originally had,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: which was to advance US interest. This was at a
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: time of the Cold War, and like you say, it's
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: veered far far away from those objectives.
• 33:14
  Speaker 12: And those types of measures fall within the purview of
• 33:17
  Speaker 12: the executive branch. And this is what we're seeing every
• 33:20
  Speaker 12: six hours there's a new action coming out of Team
• 33:22
  Speaker 12: Trump that he is really wielding the weight to the
• 33:25
  Speaker 12: executive branch, where even if there's a statutory premise to
• 33:29
  Speaker 12: it around foreign assistance, which is what Jamie Raskin is
• 33:32
  Speaker 12: talking about, the way it is, administrator is in his purview,
• 33:35
  Speaker 12: and if he wants to put it back under the
• 33:37
  Speaker 12: State Department so it's more aligned with Marco Rubio's execution
• 33:41
  Speaker 12: of the Trump policy, then that's as prerogative. If they
• 33:43
  Speaker 12: want to shut down certain aspects, if they want to
• 33:46
  Speaker 12: lock out people and change who's administering it, that's all
• 33:49
  Speaker 12: in their purview. But this seems to just be the beginning,
• 33:52
  Speaker 12: and I think it's going to get more heated.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: And I am loving some of these emails being leaked
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: that are going to staff members them how they can resign,
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: how they can go about just removing themselves from the bureaucracy. Now,
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: let's check in with the DNC and see if they've
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: moved on from their DEI race obsessions.
• 34:16
  Speaker 18: Racism has not gone away since twenty people of Africa
• 34:21
  Speaker 18: descent came upon these shores at Jamestown, Virginia in sixteen nineteen,
• 34:26
  Speaker 18: and it's going to require us to think and behave
• 34:29
  Speaker 18: in a new way. It is systemic, it is structural
• 34:35
  Speaker 18: when it comes to addressing diversity, equity, inclusion, access, and
• 34:39
  Speaker 18: belonging Kosher.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: They just do not learn that seem to be in
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: capable of moving away from their identity politics obsessions talking
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: about systematic racism sixteen nineteen.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: Have they have? They just f ill to say.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Where the American people are now that they don't want
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: these racial division forced down their throat.
• 35:08
  Speaker 12: That lot certainly seems to lack the political judgment that
• 35:11
  Speaker 12: you just mentioned. They're out in the wilderness and they
• 35:14
  Speaker 12: keep going back to sixteen nineteen and DEI and all
• 35:17
  Speaker 12: these buzzwords that the other side is at rapid speed,
• 35:21
  Speaker 12: completely dismantling. They didn't talk at all about immigration and inflation,
• 35:25
  Speaker 12: where the majority of the public fifty to fifty five
• 35:27
  Speaker 12: percent of the public wants there's actually a level of
• 35:30
  Speaker 12: unification around these issues that didn't exist even five years ago.
• 35:34
  Speaker 12: That is where they should be going and come up
• 35:36
  Speaker 12: with maybe some policy substantive differences to things that are controversial,
• 35:40
  Speaker 12: like tariffs or something else that would have been better
• 35:43
  Speaker 12: than singing the DEI song sheet. But it just seems
• 35:46
  Speaker 12: to be such a potent strain in the party that
• 35:48
  Speaker 12: for some reason, even if they know and there are
• 35:50
  Speaker 12: talented people in the party, they just can't seem to
• 35:53
  Speaker 12: excize it.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: Now, let's have a bit of fun.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: I did a whole bit about the grammysy lefties, losing
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: it during chat from the Grammys, appears to be around
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Beyonce's country music when that's caused a bit of a funeral,
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: as well as Carnee West and his Australian wife Biancas
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: and sorry, what do you make of that display? There
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: is so much chatter about whether she's being victimized, is
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: she being used and projectified by Carnie West. People are
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: saying she needs to be committed, because no sane person
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: would be humiliating themselves on a regular basis like this.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: She certainly doesn't seem to be happy about whatever is happening.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: What's your take on this, because when you talk about
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: the culture, this is an issue that has really gained
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: traction this week.
• 36:46
  Speaker 12: It's hard to know, and you're right, she did look
• 36:48
  Speaker 12: rather uncomfortable on that. So it's a spectrum of possibilities
• 36:51
  Speaker 12: because who knows what happened behind the scenes. There is
• 36:54
  Speaker 12: it that there's some sort of paradynamic in that relationship
• 36:57
  Speaker 12: and she was in some where pressure or call into
• 37:00
  Speaker 12: doing a publicity stunt. Did it maybe come from her
• 37:03
  Speaker 12: own volition? Did she do it in that way? Because
• 37:05
  Speaker 12: you know that you're going to generate headlines around the world,
• 37:07
  Speaker 12: we're talking about it right now, and that mantra and
• 37:10
  Speaker 12: know such things about publicity. Is it a sign of
• 37:12
  Speaker 12: this shock and awe that you just want to do
• 37:15
  Speaker 12: something to really start some kind of conversation. Who knows
• 37:19
  Speaker 12: where it stands on that, but it is a degeneracy
• 37:22
  Speaker 12: and just a sign of the culture not being where.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: It needs to be.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: I think the word there is degeneracy there is. This
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: is supposed to be the Grammy is It's supposed to
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: be a prestigious night where you celebrate the best in
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: the music industry and you have full frontal nudity. So
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: and you know, and it's kids who are really interested
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: in the Grammys. I learned too many adults so just
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: hanging on to see who wins the Album of the Year.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: But it's the young kids and they're the ones who
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: are seeing that. So it really does question, you know,
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: where is the culture at when it comes to Hollywood,
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: the music industry, the celebrity class. Now let's move back
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: back to politics. Joe Biden may be making a move
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: to Hollywood, signing on with a new agent. New York
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: Post is reporting that Biden has made his first known
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: move to monetize his post presidency, He's going to be
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: represented by Creative Artists Agency, quite a big player, and
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: the Talent agency comes As insiders speculate on how the
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: Biden family is now going to be making money. We
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: know they reaped millions of dollars from foreign deals and
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: some dubious Ivy League arrangements. This is an interesting signing.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine what he would want to be. Is
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: he going to do with some sort of a project
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: with Netflix? Is he going to be an artist?
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: Why would he sign with him?
• 38:50
  Speaker 12: And Hunter Biden has some experience in that realm.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: As we know.
• 38:53
  Speaker 12: It is odd because on the face of it, it's
• 38:56
  Speaker 12: so absurd, and we all can see that sort of
• 39:00
  Speaker 12: have to go along with it because it's It is
• 39:02
  Speaker 12: an admission of how the presidency in the day and
• 39:04
  Speaker 12: age that we live in is monetized. It's a commercial
• 39:06
  Speaker 12: asset and it did not used to be this way.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: But all presidents of Babamas were the masters, were.
• 39:12
  Speaker 12: The masters of it, and they all monetize it through
• 39:14
  Speaker 12: speeching speeches and writing gigs and books and those kinds
• 39:17
  Speaker 12: of things. The Obamas went further into the entertainment world
• 39:20
  Speaker 12: with a massive Netflix deal and they've done like two
• 39:22
  Speaker 12: dozen films, but they do have charisma, they do have
• 39:25
  Speaker 12: a following the Obamas. You could, even if you know
• 39:27
  Speaker 12: that there's influence that's being bought and sold here, you
• 39:30
  Speaker 12: can on the face of it see why they are
• 39:32
  Speaker 12: a talent that CAAA would want to represent. With Biden,
• 39:36
  Speaker 12: just his age, not glamorous, not charismatic. It's just hard
• 39:39
  Speaker 12: to see.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: Him not coherent and them's not cognitively sound. That's the
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: biggest housi or who.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: Is going to be representing.
• 39:49
  Speaker 12: Yeah, so it's clear that it's so obvious that it's
• 39:52
  Speaker 12: not about the content he's going to be putting out,
• 39:54
  Speaker 12: but it's about the influence that he still has, and
• 39:56
  Speaker 12: that's what they're going to be.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: Is still the product.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: We said all along where we came to hunt Biden
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: and his dubious business dealings, that Biden was the product
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: and still seems to be the product. Now we've seen
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: a pause on the tariffs that are to be imposed
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: on Canada and Mexico. Kosher tell me about what happened.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: There was this just a tactic for Donald Trump to
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: get what he wanted. He threshns tariffs, announces them, and
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: then these leaders do what he's asked them to do
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: in hours, within hours. We've seen this now several times.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: And how long can he use this strategy, because surely
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: they're smart enough to eventually work out what's happening here.
• 40:38
  Speaker 12: So I think it's two things. On one level, it
• 40:41
  Speaker 12: is just a tactic where he threatens them within hours
• 40:44
  Speaker 12: they capitulate. It's usually relating to take back your illegals,
• 40:47
  Speaker 12: pay for their plane flights, fortify the border, things like that,
• 40:51
  Speaker 12: and then he'll put a thirty day poles to make
• 40:53
  Speaker 12: sure that they actually follow through with what they've promised,
• 40:55
  Speaker 12: and if not, he'll threaten it again. But I also
• 40:57
  Speaker 12: think that underneath that he looks at it as an
• 40:59
  Speaker 12: economic policy, like a genuine one. Because the US big
• 41:03
  Speaker 12: picture is about four percent of the world's population, about
• 41:06
  Speaker 12: twenty five percent of consumption. It's the most desirable consumer
• 41:09
  Speaker 12: market in the world. Yeah, so that is a really
• 41:10
  Speaker 12: big asset that he believes even if it leads to
• 41:13
  Speaker 12: price increases for Americans in the short run, it just
• 41:15
  Speaker 12: rebalances trade in a good way. And I think he
• 41:17
  Speaker 12: really believes that. And with some countries like China and others,
• 41:20
  Speaker 12: he might push it on its own merits, whereas with
• 41:22
  Speaker 12: these countries it might be just a tactic to get
• 41:24
  Speaker 12: them to and it's not always.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: The threash of tariffs has also sent some diplomats down
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: to Venezuela and has got agreement from that country to
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: take back their violent criminals, including gang members. Another big
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: win for Donald Trump this way, Koshergita, thanks for your time.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: Stale to come Vogue Magazine's latest attacks against Milania Trump
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: backfire Link Lawn is up next. Welcome joining me now
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: is commentator and former senior advisor on RFK Junior's twenty
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: twenty four presidential campaign. Link Lauren Link, Welcome back to
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: the program. Let's talk about Milania Trump and Vogue. Voguers
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: come under intense scrutiny over what's been called a hit
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: job on First Lady Milania Trump's official White House portrait.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: I thought the image, let's have a look at it
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: was beautiful.
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: It's so strong and fierce.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: Tell me how Vogue responded to what was widely seen
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: as a stunning official portrait.
• 42:39
  Speaker 15: Well, it's great to be with you, Rita. This just
• 42:41
  Speaker 15: speaks to the culture in our country where these single,
• 42:44
  Speaker 15: miserable women who work at Vogue and get all their
• 42:47
  Speaker 15: news from MSNBC. They can mock and dinner greate conservative
• 42:50
  Speaker 15: women all day long with no recourse. In fact, they
• 42:53
  Speaker 15: get elevated and praise. The Fact that Milania Trump has
• 42:56
  Speaker 15: never been on the cover of Vogue as a first
• 42:58
  Speaker 15: lady is absolutely embarrassing for the magazine. They've had Kim
• 43:02
  Speaker 15: Kardashian on the cover ten times, Michelle Obama three times.
• 43:05
  Speaker 15: Jill Biden, of all people, has been on the cover
• 43:08
  Speaker 15: of Vogue three times herself. And she walks around and
• 43:11
  Speaker 15: blackfish nets, a leather skirt, her hair's a mess, high heels.
• 43:14
  Speaker 15: She looks like a geriatric hooker. Let's call it like
• 43:17
  Speaker 15: we see it. The fact that the Lania Trump has
• 43:19
  Speaker 15: not been on the cover of Vogue is egypt.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, just tell us what you really think
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: link my goodness.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: Well, I do wonder whether they're just hurting the road.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: I wonder if they are hurting.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: The road credibility as a fashion magazine by trying to
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: tear her down, because whether you love or a hater,
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can't doubt.
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: That she's a beautiful woman.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: She's got a distinct sense of style, she has a
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: fashion icon, So why would Vogue go down this road,
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: Like how much hate do they have in their hearts
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: to be making them so look foolish by attacking Milania's
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: fashion sense.
• 44:04
  Speaker 15: Milania Trump, she's stunnying. She's an international supermodel, she's self made,
• 44:09
  Speaker 15: she's an immigrant. If she had a D next to
• 44:11
  Speaker 15: her name, if Milania Trump were a Democrat, she would
• 44:14
  Speaker 15: have been on the cover of Vogue ten times already.
• 44:17
  Speaker 15: Usha vans the fact that they're making fun of her.
• 44:19
  Speaker 15: She's an Indian American, she's self made, she's an attorney,
• 44:22
  Speaker 15: she's brilliant. But because she's a Republican as well, they're
• 44:25
  Speaker 15: going to Mark and dinner greet her. And that's what's
• 44:27
  Speaker 15: happening in the culture in our country.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: Now, you mentioned that the other former First ladies, no
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: matter what they look like or what their fashion sense
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: is like, have been on the cover of Vogue. We're
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: seeing Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, Jill Biden. I do wonder
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: whether there's going to be any relenting because we have
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: seen some relenting from major fashion labels who a few
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: years ago were refusing to dress anyone within the Trump camp. Now, ah,
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: they see that there's real value in having their brand
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: associated with someone like a Milania Trump or an Usha Vance.
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: Do you see that changing?
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: Do you see some big brands coming forward and saying
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: we want to dress the first lady or the second lady.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: Absolutely?
• 45:18
  Speaker 15: I mean these magazines and publications they can either evolve
• 45:21
  Speaker 15: and understand that Donald Trump he won this election and
• 45:24
  Speaker 15: a landslide. This was a decisive mandate, he won the
• 45:27
  Speaker 15: popular vote. If they don't start reaching across the aisle
• 45:30
  Speaker 15: and highlighting conservative women or conservatives in general, they will
• 45:34
  Speaker 15: continue to fade into irrelevance and obscurity. And even just
• 45:37
  Speaker 15: from a capitalistic standpoint, wouldn't you want to put Malania
• 45:40
  Speaker 15: Trump or Ivanka Trump or Usha Vance on the cover
• 45:43
  Speaker 15: of Vogue to reach these conservative women. But I'm happy
• 45:46
  Speaker 15: to see other independent publications popping up who do give
• 45:49
  Speaker 15: a fair shape to conservative women. And Anna wintor Vogue,
• 45:52
  Speaker 15: good luck to them. I'm not sure they'll even be
• 45:54
  Speaker 15: around in five years.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: Usha Vance is also a very interesting character.
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: You mentioned her.
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: She's a very accomplished woman, a very stylish, beautiful woman.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: So we've now got two really quite stunning women in
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: the White House who are going to be I think
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: fashion icons in their own right. Before you go, I've
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: got to ask you about the growing fascination affection for
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: Baron Trump Millennia and Donald Trump's son. His popularity has
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: absolutely skyrocketed.
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: We've heard about the role he played.
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: In the campaign, the advice he gave his father about
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: who to talk to, how to reach younger voters.
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: There's talk of a dinsty emerging. Blink.
• 46:47
  Speaker 15: Absolutely. I think Baron Trump, Kai Trump and these other
• 46:50
  Speaker 15: younger Trumps really are the next generation in the future
• 46:53
  Speaker 15: of the Republican Party if they want to be involved
• 46:56
  Speaker 15: in politics at all. Of course, it's a blood sport,
• 46:58
  Speaker 15: it's a contact sport. They might have their interests. But
• 47:01
  Speaker 15: Baron Trump, I think he's still young, he's still finding himself.
• 47:03
  Speaker 15: I went to NYU as well, just like Baron Trump,
• 47:06
  Speaker 15: and if he can be so confident in such a liberal,
• 47:09
  Speaker 15: woke environment, I think he's going to have a great
• 47:11
  Speaker 15: life and career ahead of him.
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: Well, he was the breakout star of the inaugration festivities,
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: so I we'll watch to see what happens there. Leglauren,
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: thank you so much for your time this evening, and
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: that's it from me. Tonight up next is Newsnight I'll
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: see you at eleven tomorrow.
