Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: Starting right now, We've got a show.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Riata Panihee Show. Coming
- 0:12Speaker 2: up tonight, Ben Carroll announces a Royal Commission into corruption
- 0:16Speaker 2: on Victoria's Big Bill Projects, the panel will join me
- 0:20Speaker 2: to discuss the day's top headlines. Chris Bowen contemplating a
- 0:25Speaker 2: carbon credit trading system that looks suspiciously like the carbon
- 0:29Speaker 2: tax two point zero. Professor I and Plimer will share
- 0:32Speaker 2: his thoughts on that. Adam B. Coleman will have the
- 0:35Speaker 2: latest from the US, including a shocking case of surrogate
- 0:39Speaker 2: parents suing the birth mother for not aborting their child.
- 0:44Speaker 2: And Meghan and Harry are moving back to the UK.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Kinsey Scofield would join me to discuss all your essential
- 0:51Speaker 2: royal and celebrity news and Left Is Losing It features
- 0:55Speaker 2: more performative emoting on the Internet. But first, Australia's national
- 1:14Speaker 2: debt has for the first time ever tipped over one
- 1:17Speaker 2: trillion dollars. Total debt now makes up thirty four percent
- 1:22Speaker 2: of GDP, which is the highest in history outside the pandemic,
- 1:26Speaker 2: and expected to rise to thirty five point eight percent
- 1:29Speaker 2: of GDP in twenty twenty nine. Treasury is also forecasting
- 1:34Speaker 2: the annual interest spill to hit twenty nine point five
- 1:37Speaker 2: billion dollars this year, rising to forty two point two
- 1:41Speaker 2: billion dollars before the end of the decade. It's worth
- 1:45Speaker 2: noting that the federal government's net debt per capita is
- 1:49Speaker 2: surpassed only by the Northern Territory, the Act and debt
- 1:53Speaker 2: riddled Victoria. Polling from News Poll indicates seventy percent of
- 1:58Speaker 2: voters are warriorried about debt levels, including thirty one percent
- 2:02Speaker 2: who say they are very worried. The coalition was on
- 2:06Speaker 2: the attack against labor. Today Jim Chalmers and Anthony albanize
- 2:10Speaker 2: he should hang their heads in shame. Today a trillion
- 2:14Speaker 2: dollars worth of debt is nothing to crow about.
- 2:16Speaker 3: Today's debt is tomorrow's taxes, and so what we're passing
- 2:19Speaker 3: on to future generations isn't just debt.
- 2:21Speaker 4: Poor our grim. Jim is sending our economy broke.
- 2:24Speaker 5: He's got a spending habit that he can't fix without
- 2:27Speaker 5: taking more of your money. It's a direct result of
- 2:29Speaker 5: Jim Chalmer's inability to control spending.
- 2:32Speaker 2: Joining me now is senior fellow and chief economists at
- 2:35Speaker 2: the Institute of Public Affairs, Adam Crichton and former president
- 2:38Speaker 2: of the Victorian Liberal Party Michael Kroger. Michael Jim Chalmers
- 2:43Speaker 2: said he wanted to reimagine capitalism. He outlined his vision
- 2:48Speaker 2: for this values based capitalism. Well we've got it now.
- 2:53Speaker 2: It's not working out too well, no rhetor, it couldn't.
- 2:56Speaker 4: Be going better. We've got record record deficits.
- 3:00Speaker 5: Wek one hundred and twenty two billion of deficits in
- 3:03Speaker 5: the next four years.
- 3:05Speaker 4: The housing market has crashed.
- 3:07Speaker 5: Hundreds of billions of dollars of people's wealth have been
- 3:10Speaker 5: wiped off the value of their properties.
- 3:12Speaker 4: Investors are leading the market. First time buyers.
- 3:15Speaker 5: Who put in their five percent depositive lost their five
- 3:17Speaker 5: percentage of the markets down.
- 3:19Speaker 4: More than that, we've got stamp duty.
- 3:22Speaker 5: State government stampity revenue will plum US two billion in
- 3:26Speaker 5: New South Wales alone over the next year because if
- 3:28Speaker 5: there are no property sales reader, there's no stamped the table.
- 3:32Speaker 5: And of course with the decline in crashing housing market,
- 3:35Speaker 5: it means less work for real estate agents we put off,
- 3:38Speaker 5: conveyancing solicitor we put off. There's less work for carpenters
- 3:41Speaker 5: and others who are fixing, repairing, homes that have been
- 3:44Speaker 5: bought by people, and the coupdi gras all.
- 3:47Speaker 4: It isn't bad enough, of course, what happens when mortgage
- 3:50Speaker 4: applications go down.
- 3:51Speaker 5: Banks make less profits, and the Commonwealth Bank of Australia,
- 3:55Speaker 5: which has got eight hundred thousand shellers, has lost forty
- 4:00Speaker 5: billion in market capitalization in the last three.
- 4:04Speaker 4: Weeks, including six billion dollars lost today alone.
- 4:09Speaker 5: So eight hundred thousand people have boss on average if
- 4:11Speaker 5: they have the same and brief years I've lost another
- 4:13Speaker 5: fifty thousand each because of their investment in the bank.
- 4:16Speaker 5: So this is an economic disaster brought about by people
- 4:19Speaker 5: that have no idea what to do in managing an economy.
- 4:22Speaker 2: Reader, Adam, it is pretty green. Whether you're got shares
- 4:28Speaker 2: in CBA or whether you're invested in property, everything seems
- 4:32Speaker 2: to be going in the wrong direction and it's bad
- 4:35Speaker 2: news for people who can least afforded. We we've been
- 4:38Speaker 2: talking this week about rents going up, rents going up
- 4:43Speaker 2: dramatically by up to thirty percent in the next two years.
- 4:46Speaker 2: Both the NAB and property groups are forecasting that.
- 4:51Speaker 3: Yeah, certainly that will be a terrible outcome for those people.
- 4:53Speaker 3: You're quite right, and also they're going to have to
- 4:55Speaker 3: pay more tax as well to service all this debt.
- 4:58Speaker 3: I mean the trillion dollars of talking about that's great,
- 5:01Speaker 3: but that's just the tip of the iceberg. You've got
- 5:02Speaker 3: to add into that seven hundred billion of state debt
- 5:05Speaker 3: as well, so it's actually one point seven trillion, and we're.
- 5:09Speaker 2: Paying literally billions in interest every month.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Yes, that's right. So the Commonwealth I think is about
- 5:15Speaker 3: five cents and every dollar of revenue it earns now
- 5:18Speaker 3: just goes to interest. We've already heard that Victoria is
- 5:21Speaker 3: going to be about ten cents and every dollar revenue
- 5:23Speaker 3: there by twenty thirty.
- 5:25Speaker 2: This is a very worrying situation.
- 5:27Speaker 3: And you know, it's all very well for the left
- 5:28Speaker 3: to say, oh, Australia's debts very load to GDP, it's
- 5:31Speaker 3: thirty five percent. Well, actually first you must add the
- 5:33Speaker 3: States in, so that's fifty percent. And we already pay
- 5:36Speaker 3: much higher interest rates than other countries with much more debt,
- 5:40Speaker 3: much high rac in France, in the UK, sometimes even
- 5:42Speaker 3: the US. So basically the point is that we can't
- 5:45Speaker 3: have very high debt levels without paying extremely high interest rates.
- 5:48Speaker 3: So very hard decisions are going to have to be
- 5:49Speaker 3: made here. There's going to have to be big cuts
- 5:51Speaker 3: at some point, because they simply can't raise tax any
- 5:54Speaker 3: more than they already have.
- 5:56Speaker 2: Adam, you've just released new research from the IPA revealing
- 6:00Speaker 2: state governments have been overwhelmingly responsible for the increase in
- 6:05Speaker 2: public debt since the COVID pandemic. States have increased they
- 6:08Speaker 2: combined net debt by two hundred and seventy billion dollars
- 6:12Speaker 2: over the last six years, which is more than four
- 6:15Speaker 2: times as much as the federal government. State's share of
- 6:19Speaker 2: total net debt across both levels of government has steadily
- 6:22Speaker 2: risen to sixty eight percent this year, quadruple the share
- 6:27Speaker 2: in twenty sixteen. I mean, the trench here are extraordinary.
- 6:32Speaker 3: I mean, it's quite possible the states could actually overtake
- 6:34Speaker 3: the Commonwealth for total debt within five to ten years,
- 6:37Speaker 3: which is just extraordinary. And this is because they pay
- 6:39Speaker 3: very low interest rates. Well, they pay the same interest
- 6:41Speaker 3: rates the cogwalth does, because the people that lend the
- 6:44Speaker 3: states they know that if push came to sharve, the
- 6:46Speaker 3: Comonwealth would have to bail the states out. So they're
- 6:49Speaker 3: basically paying artificially cheap debt. And the scary thing with
- 6:52Speaker 3: this new research is there's all this COVID debt that
- 6:54Speaker 3: was borrowed at one and a half percent or two
- 6:56Speaker 3: percent per annum, and there's two hundred and seventy seven
- 6:59Speaker 3: billion dollars off outstanding just on the States books. Well,
- 7:02Speaker 3: that's going to all have to be refinanced at five
- 7:04Speaker 3: and a half percent per adum from twenty thirty onwards.
- 7:07Speaker 3: So the main finding from that research is that even
- 7:10Speaker 3: if they don't have any more deficits ever again, the
- 7:13Speaker 3: interest rate costs will got twenty five percent a year
- 7:15Speaker 3: from twenty thirtyonards.
- 7:17Speaker 2: We've tried to warn them during the COVID era that
- 7:20Speaker 2: this largest is taxpayer funded craziness was going to come
- 7:26Speaker 2: back and hurt us, and here we are. This was
- 7:28Speaker 2: entirely predictable.
- 7:30Speaker 6: Now.
- 7:30Speaker 2: Premier Ben Carroll Victorian Premier Ben Carroll has announced a
- 7:34Speaker 2: Royal Commission into corruption on Victoria's big build projects. The
- 7:39Speaker 2: inquiry will examine the conduct of construction companies, the CFMEU, contractors, subcontractors, labor,
- 7:46Speaker 2: higher firms and supplies, as well as the role played
- 7:50Speaker 2: by the Victorian government and its delivery agencies. The inquiries
- 7:54Speaker 2: due to report in August twenty twenty seven, and we'll
- 7:58Speaker 2: have a broad mandate to a major public and civil
- 8:02Speaker 2: infrastructure projects across Victoria. Michael, is this adequate? Is this
- 8:08Speaker 2: precisely what the liberals have been crying out for?
- 8:12Speaker 4: No, not at all. Reader.
- 8:14Speaker 5: Look the very people who's set around the cabinet table
- 8:17Speaker 5: for years and refuse to hold a Royal commission, including
- 8:19Speaker 5: Ben Carroll, now say we need a Royal Commission. There's
- 8:22Speaker 5: only one reason there's a Royal Commission because as an
- 8:24Speaker 5: election held in three months, Victoria is mired in corruption
- 8:28Speaker 5: and the Age newspapers uncovered a lot of this to
- 8:30Speaker 5: their credit, and because the public are furious that up
- 8:34Speaker 5: to fifteen billion dollars has basically been stolen through a
- 8:37Speaker 5: corrupt practices in the building industry. The Labor government in
- 8:40Speaker 5: trying to make it look as if they're doing something
- 8:43Speaker 5: of call this Royal Commission, and we've seen what's happened
- 8:45Speaker 5: at a federal level that's been a very disappointing.
- 8:47Speaker 4: Royal Commission into anti semism so far? So do the
- 8:50Speaker 4: public trust them?
- 8:51Speaker 7: Know?
- 8:52Speaker 5: The best way forward for the Royal Commission is to
- 8:54Speaker 5: join up with the Queensland Royal Commission, where there's already
- 8:57Speaker 5: a Royal commission into the building industry, so that would
- 8:59Speaker 5: be the best way forward. And I hope that the
- 9:02Speaker 5: Liberals musician has a very close look of the terms
- 9:04Speaker 5: of reference because they'll be trying to cover up more
- 9:08Speaker 5: than their booth reader.
- 9:12Speaker 2: Well, Dan Andrews was an expert with the terms of reference.
- 9:15Speaker 2: Was any time you had any sort of probe inquiry
- 9:19Speaker 2: the terms of reference and the people are pointed to
- 9:23Speaker 2: carry them out, you almost had a guaranteed outcome Politically,
- 9:29Speaker 2: Is this going to be enough? Is this going to
- 9:31Speaker 2: address the concerns Victorians increasingly have about the level of
- 9:35Speaker 2: corruption in this state, because I don't think people around
- 9:38Speaker 2: the country realize a lot of these issues are almost
- 9:42Speaker 2: unique to Victoria. What's happened in this state is unprecedented.
- 9:48Speaker 2: The levels of corruption that have been normalized are really
- 9:52Speaker 2: quite disturbing. No, that's certainly true.
- 9:54Speaker 3: You don't see the black and white pirate flags on
- 9:56Speaker 3: construction sites and other states, which always shocks me. In Melbourne,
- 10:00Speaker 3: they're all over the place, so that's really unique. Look, Look,
- 10:03Speaker 3: the Poles were obviously telling the Labor government that they
- 10:05Speaker 3: had to have this. Let's see the terms of reference.
- 10:08Speaker 3: Let's see who is called. I mean, the former premiers
- 10:10Speaker 3: really do need to be called. But this is all
- 10:14Speaker 3: going to happen after election, I assume. So look, this
- 10:17Speaker 3: is a safe thing they've done. Whether it's enough, I mean,
- 10:19Speaker 3: there's been no bounce in the polls so far from
- 10:21Speaker 3: what I've seen for state labor, so maybe it's not enough.
- 10:24Speaker 2: I would say it's not enough.
- 10:25Speaker 3: I think they have to do other things. They have
- 10:27Speaker 3: to knock the SRL on the head, and they have
- 10:28Speaker 3: to get rid of this stupid work from Home legislation
- 10:30Speaker 3: which they're about to legislate in coming weeks. And the
- 10:34Speaker 3: first treaty body too, which victorians verted sixty to forty
- 10:37Speaker 3: against more or less, you know, which is costing hundreds
- 10:40Speaker 3: of millions of dollars a year.
- 10:41Speaker 2: And really the liberals, Michael, have done very little work
- 10:46Speaker 2: on the issue of the treaty, the voice, the state
- 10:51Speaker 2: based voice that that we've had thrust upon us despite voting.
- 10:55Speaker 2: Knowing the referendum, they've said, oh, we will revert, but
- 11:01Speaker 2: there's been absolutely no talk about it. They don't talk
- 11:05Speaker 2: about the impact this treaty has on law making on
- 11:11Speaker 2: just a day to day life in Victoria. I think
- 11:14Speaker 2: most Victorias wouldn't even know there is a treaty or
- 11:18Speaker 2: a state based voice.
- 11:20Speaker 5: Well, the reason the Coalition doesn't talk about it every
- 11:24Speaker 5: day is that they've stated their position, and that's to
- 11:27Speaker 5: abolish this body.
- 11:30Speaker 2: But Michael, that has no impact when it's not an issue.
- 11:33Speaker 2: If Victorians don't know the detriment mental effects of this body,
- 11:38Speaker 2: then it's not going to become an issue. They're not
- 11:40Speaker 2: going to vote for the Liberals to abolish something that
- 11:43Speaker 2: they don't understand or even know.
- 11:45Speaker 3: For instance, there's a job that's current advertised four hundred
- 11:48Speaker 3: and eighty thousand dollars a year to lead this body.
- 11:50Speaker 3: They should be making hay with that.
- 11:51Speaker 2: And every piece of legislation that's now introduced has to
- 11:55Speaker 2: have consideration of this body has to I mean, we've
- 12:00Speaker 2: spoken on this program about just how broad and far
- 12:03Speaker 2: reaching the influence of this body is. But I think
- 12:05Speaker 2: most Victorians don't know that, Michael. I mean, if you're
- 12:09Speaker 2: not going to make it an issue, it's not going
- 12:13Speaker 2: to be something that people are going to base their
- 12:15Speaker 2: vote on.
- 12:16Speaker 4: Don't worry.
- 12:16Speaker 5: They have made an issue a big issue, and they
- 12:18Speaker 5: said we're going to abolish it, and people who are
- 12:20Speaker 5: interested in this type of body are well aware of
- 12:23Speaker 5: the Wilson Opposition's policy towards it. Don't forget you as
- 12:28Speaker 5: seem concerned that we're not discussing the FBA. No, it's
- 12:31Speaker 5: actually not the biggest issue in Victoria. The biggest issue
- 12:33Speaker 5: in Victoria is the cost of living crisis, the your
- 12:38Speaker 5: debt we've got in Victoria which in four years time
- 12:40Speaker 5: will be gracedad of two hundred.
- 12:41Speaker 4: And thirty two hundred and forty billion.
- 12:43Speaker 5: We have record crime rates, murders, gang warfare in Victoria,
- 12:47Speaker 5: fire bombings all over the place, Middle Eastern crime, gangs
- 12:51Speaker 5: on the rampage, and we've got alleged union corruption the
- 12:56Speaker 5: building sector which is allegedly signed off fifteen billion. So
- 13:00Speaker 5: of course it's an important issue, but against those issues,
- 13:03Speaker 5: it's not at the top of the list for the opposition,
- 13:06Speaker 5: and nor should it be when corruption crime, well.
- 13:10Speaker 2: No one's saying it should be the top of the issue,
- 13:12Speaker 2: but it should be an issue, and it's somewhere an issue.
- 13:16Speaker 2: You can really wedge labor because so many of those
- 13:19Speaker 2: other issues you've mentioned, they will change their positions, they
- 13:23Speaker 2: will copy your policies they will do anything to be
- 13:26Speaker 2: re elected. That is one area where they're not going
- 13:29Speaker 2: to be able to reverse course. They are going to
- 13:31Speaker 2: have to justify why they thrust this body on the
- 13:35Speaker 2: Victorian public who voted no to the Voice. And I
- 13:41Speaker 2: just think it's a lost opportunity. Shows lack of courage
- 13:44Speaker 2: to just put that to the site and say it's
- 13:46Speaker 2: not a cost of living issue. Well, in many ways
- 13:49Speaker 2: it impacts every facet of life, every piece of legislation,
- 13:53Speaker 2: so it.
- 13:54Speaker 3: Can be also Victorian businesses, just briefly are still paying
- 13:58Speaker 3: a COVID debt levee on their payrolls. There's no other
- 14:00Speaker 3: state doing that. That should be an obvious win for
- 14:02Speaker 3: the coalition, and we will get rid of the COVID
- 14:04Speaker 3: det levy which no other state pays. That's a billion
- 14:06Speaker 3: dollars a year from employers, very significant. That's an easy
- 14:09Speaker 3: political win.
- 14:10Speaker 2: I would say that is an easy one. Now, before
- 14:12Speaker 2: you two go, this is a little bit lighter, but
- 14:14Speaker 2: I wanted to play this from Kate Langbrul. She's taken
- 14:18Speaker 2: aim at the logis over jokes targeting Dave Hughes and
- 14:23Speaker 2: Carl Stepher. Novie, you haven't listened to what she.
- 14:25Speaker 8: Said, it's like they're just a pack of like animals
- 14:30Speaker 8: who the second where they sense the power shift, they're like, oh,
- 14:33Speaker 8: let's get stuck in all those years they really enjoyed
- 14:37Speaker 8: his antics and Carl turns up drug suddenly it's like, oh, no,
- 14:43Speaker 8: we can't like Carl, and I'm just like you, pitiful,
- 14:47Speaker 8: pitiful mind virus.
- 14:48Speaker 2: Idiots, pitiful mind virus idiots. Bravo because she's sticking up
- 14:56Speaker 2: for a maid there. She's certainly mates with Day Hughes
- 15:01Speaker 2: and just telling the truth Adam about what is often
- 15:04Speaker 2: such a toxic little cesspit and so nasty despite sort
- 15:08Speaker 2: of putting themselves art as being these progressive bastions. Exactly
- 15:14Speaker 2: compassion and kindness.
- 15:16Speaker 3: Dave Hughes and Carl, they've just seen the way politics
- 15:19Speaker 3: is going there with the people, not with these elites.
- 15:22Speaker 3: That's the end of the day. I don't think that's
- 15:24Speaker 3: going to hurt them. What happened in the logan is
- 15:25Speaker 3: far from it.
- 15:26Speaker 2: Well, no it's not. But it's Michael, just the fact
- 15:31Speaker 2: that the left do have a group on the arts
- 15:36Speaker 2: in this country. You have to admit that if you've
- 15:38Speaker 2: got one individual, no matter how well they're known, how
- 15:42Speaker 2: no matter how successful, if they deviate from that leftist group,
- 15:47Speaker 2: think they're going to be attacked. And in case of
- 15:50Speaker 2: Carl he was sacked.
- 15:53Speaker 4: Well you can see how influential they are these days,
- 15:55Speaker 4: which is not that much.
- 15:57Speaker 5: I mean, Taylor Swift, the most popular told pop artists
- 16:01Speaker 5: in the world strongly indoors Tamala Harris, and people are
- 16:05Speaker 5: sick of the Golden Globe Academy Awards where these actors,
- 16:10Speaker 5: you know, who live in gated communities and are worth
- 16:12Speaker 5: hundreds of millions were getting up and lecturing people about
- 16:15Speaker 5: working class issues.
- 16:17Speaker 4: It just discredits those shows.
- 16:20Speaker 5: And the Loggies were just partly discredited, unfortunately, by these
- 16:24Speaker 5: really puerile, juvenile criticisms of Hughes and Stephanovik and people
- 16:29Speaker 5: making criticians of Handsome.
- 16:30Speaker 4: I mean, I mean it was pathetic. There was a collective.
- 16:34Speaker 5: Groan around the country when this nonsense came on, and
- 16:37Speaker 5: they just looked like a poor man poor woman's Golden
- 16:40Speaker 5: Globes and it was pathetic. And you know, Kate Lanbrook
- 16:45Speaker 5: was absolutely right to call it out.
- 16:48Speaker 2: Gentlemen, Michael Kroger, Adam Krausch, and thank you so much
- 16:51Speaker 2: for your time. Well, here is a change of tune
- 16:57Speaker 2: from the Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen, who
- 17:00Speaker 2: now says it would not be a catastrophe if the
- 17:03Speaker 2: government fails to meet it's eighty two percent renewable target
- 17:06Speaker 2: by twenty thirty, but he still believes it is inevitable.
- 17:10Speaker 2: He told the Australian Financial Review. If we got to
- 17:13Speaker 2: eighty two percent in twenty thirty one, is that a
- 17:16Speaker 2: major national catastrophe?
- 17:18Speaker 9: No?
- 17:19Speaker 2: Are we still trying to get there in twenty thirty sure?
- 17:23Speaker 2: Joining me now from the idealic Greek Islands is a
- 17:27Speaker 2: steam geologist, author and executive director at Hancock Energy, professor
- 17:32Speaker 2: Ian Plymer. Professor Minister Bowen also said that the closer
- 17:37Speaker 2: we get to eighty two percent renewables, the better the
- 17:41Speaker 2: country will be. Do you agree with that assessment?
- 17:45Speaker 6: Well, Minister Bowen is absolutely totally delusional. We will never
- 17:48Speaker 6: achieve it now other country has, We can't. And if
- 17:52Speaker 6: we get anywhere near it then the costs are going
- 17:54Speaker 6: to be sae crippling that we'll have to have candles.
- 17:57Speaker 1: And cook our meal on a fire in the backyard.
- 18:00Speaker 6: These aims of sending us broke have got to stop.
- 18:04Speaker 1: We cannot achieve eighty two percent.
- 18:07Speaker 6: We cannot achieve eighty percent, And for Minister Bowen to
- 18:11Speaker 6: make excuses why he's propaganda and ideological campaign has absolutely
- 18:17Speaker 6: totally failed.
- 18:18Speaker 1: It just doesn't pass the pub test.
- 18:20Speaker 6: This man is a national disgrace and he shouldn't be
- 18:23Speaker 6: destroying our economy the way he's trying to do it.
- 18:27Speaker 1: Well.
- 18:27Speaker 2: A new consultation paper released by Chris Bold reveals the
- 18:31Speaker 2: Albanizi government is exploring the creation of a carbon credit
- 18:36Speaker 2: trading system as a way to stop consumers from using
- 18:40Speaker 2: traditional diesel, petrol and jet fuel. Critics say the plans
- 18:45Speaker 2: have the hallmarks of the Gillard era emissions trading scheme,
- 18:50Speaker 2: which was one of the policies that cost Labor government
- 18:53Speaker 2: in two thy and thirteen In sounds an awful lot
- 18:58Speaker 2: like carbon tax. To point are, it's got all the
- 19:01Speaker 2: hallmarks of that carbon tax. I'm having flashbacks.
- 19:07Speaker 6: Well, you are having a flashback for every good reason.
- 19:10Speaker 6: It is a carbon tax. It's a tax on anyone
- 19:13Speaker 6: who's producing food. We need diesel for plowing, we need
- 19:16Speaker 6: diesel for seeding, We need diesel for weeding, we need
- 19:20Speaker 6: diesel for harvesting. We need diesel to transport that food
- 19:23Speaker 6: from rural areas to the cities.
- 19:25Speaker 1: It's a tax on every single.
- 19:27Speaker 6: Person in the country. And why because governments have no
- 19:31Speaker 6: control on the expenditure. They just spend like an endless
- 19:35Speaker 6: source of money. They haven't cut their costs. Why don't
- 19:39Speaker 6: they do what a business does is cut costs rather
- 19:41Speaker 6: than just spend, spend and spend.
- 19:43Speaker 1: And in order to raise.
- 19:46Speaker 6: Money to keep this spending going, they have to invent
- 19:48Speaker 6: all sorts of new taxes. We are already paying taxes
- 19:51Speaker 6: on carbon for everything, and I can't see why we
- 19:54Speaker 6: have to do it, because no one has ever shown
- 19:57Speaker 6: in the scientific world that carbon diox released by humans
- 20:01Speaker 6: into the atmosphere drives global warming. It's never been shown.
- 20:05Speaker 1: So we're conned from day one. The con continues, and
- 20:08Speaker 1: it's costing us more.
- 20:09Speaker 6: And there are a lot of people out there who
- 20:11Speaker 6: in some countries, especially say England, have to make a
- 20:14Speaker 6: choice between eating, between having a hot bath or having
- 20:19Speaker 6: a hot meal, and we're going that.
- 20:21Speaker 1: Well, so this is just absolutely totally intolerable.
- 20:25Speaker 2: Ian before you go, A former High Court judge has
- 20:28Speaker 2: criticized the International Court of Justice for wading in on
- 20:32Speaker 2: matters such as climate change policy in Calanan served as
- 20:36Speaker 2: an ad hoc judge of the ICJ in twenty fourteen
- 20:40Speaker 2: and was invited to write an essay as part of
- 20:43Speaker 2: a publication for the court's eightieth anniversary, but that plan
- 20:48Speaker 2: was abandoned after the ICJ express concern about his criticism
- 20:53Speaker 2: of the court's twenty twenty five Advisory Opinion on climate change.
- 20:57Speaker 2: Ian I've got to say I like this form, he said.
- 21:01Speaker 2: The ICJ can either publish this chapter in full or
- 21:05Speaker 2: not at all. What do you make of what he
- 21:08Speaker 2: has had to say?
- 21:10Speaker 6: Well, this is universal across the sciences where you cannot
- 21:14Speaker 6: publish a view that's a different view to the current
- 21:17Speaker 6: popular paradigm of human induced climate change.
- 21:20Speaker 1: You just cannot do it.
- 21:21Speaker 6: And I've tried many times, and I've published, as you know,
- 21:25Speaker 6: of seventeen books, and they will not let me publish.
- 21:28Speaker 1: Science on climate change. Now, to make.
- 21:30Speaker 6: Matters even worse, this has perpetrated right for these schools,
- 21:34Speaker 6: right for the universities, right through the scientific institutions, and
- 21:37Speaker 6: now the legal institution. Another example, I was offered an
- 21:42Speaker 6: honorary doctorate from a university in Austria for my work
- 21:46Speaker 6: on the Broken Hill mineral deposit looking at the chemistry
- 21:49Speaker 6: in the geology. Once they realized my views on climate,
- 21:52Speaker 6: that offer of a doctorate was withdrawn. So this is
- 21:56Speaker 6: a universal right across the Western world. If you step
- 21:59Speaker 6: out of line, then you're in trouble. Now those on
- 22:03Speaker 6: the other side of the world, such as in the
- 22:04Speaker 6: communist countries, are well aware of this. We have inherited
- 22:08Speaker 6: the same tactics and that is shut up, listen to
- 22:11Speaker 6: the ideology. This is what's happening, and no one with
- 22:15Speaker 6: any knowledge can have a say, and Justice Callahan is
- 22:18Speaker 6: finding that's the case in the International Court of Justice
- 22:21Speaker 6: as well as we have found right across the sciences
- 22:24Speaker 6: that you cannot present an alternative view.
- 22:27Speaker 2: Professor Ian Plyman, thank you so much for your time
- 22:30Speaker 2: and happy eightieth birthday. You are a national treasure and
- 22:35Speaker 2: it is an absolute pleasure to have you on this
- 22:37Speaker 2: program each and every week. Coming up, left is Losing
- 22:41Speaker 2: It plus a shocking case of surrogate parents in the
- 22:45Speaker 2: US suing the birth mother for not apporting their child.
- 22:50Speaker 2: Adam B. Coleman has the details. Welcome back, It's time
- 23:02Speaker 2: for Lefties losing it Now. We've spoken at length about
- 23:06Speaker 2: the mental health crisis that appears to be afflicting young
- 23:09Speaker 2: leftist women, and the Internet is not helping the performative
- 23:13Speaker 2: Meltdown's desire to share wild emoting is seeing too many
- 23:18Speaker 2: clips like this uploaded. Now, if you want to let
- 23:42Speaker 2: off steam by throwing ice cubes at your bath, then
- 23:45Speaker 2: go right ahead. But do we need to film it?
- 23:48Speaker 2: Is the attention seeking helping anyone? And as we've discussed
- 23:52Speaker 2: this week on the program, the number of liberal women
- 23:55Speaker 2: identifying with a confess killer Lindsey Clancy, who strained angle
- 24:00Speaker 2: to her three children, is frightening. They've raised around a
- 24:03Speaker 2: million dollars for this murderer, and they are filming clips
- 24:07Speaker 2: featuring Lindsey Klance's diary entries while holding their own babies.
- 24:12Speaker 1: I may never shuts off. It's constantly thinking of the
- 24:16Speaker 1: next thing someone needs. They can't shut it off.
- 24:18Speaker 4: I desperately want to go back to work, but now
- 24:20Speaker 4: I don't know how I'm going to function, and it
- 24:23Speaker 4: worries me.
- 24:24Speaker 2: You know, I think I preferred to when these liberal
- 24:26Speaker 2: ladies were just accusing the grieving father rather than identifying
- 24:30Speaker 2: with a killer. Now for a change of pace, and
- 24:33Speaker 2: it seems more and more brave and stunning ladies are
- 24:36Speaker 2: showing their support for the WNBA and perhaps even nominating
- 24:40Speaker 2: for the draft. I like the form of these two. Yeah,
- 25:05Speaker 2: the security guard did not look in press. Now let's
- 25:07Speaker 2: have a look at some polling data from CNN that
- 25:10Speaker 2: would have triggered their audience. Yes, Trump's numbers are down,
- 25:14Speaker 2: but look at the Democrats. They're in all sorts of trouble.
- 25:18Speaker 9: PU when it comes to the Democratic brant, the net
- 25:21Speaker 9: favorability rating of the Democratic Party. You know, back in
- 25:24Speaker 9: twenty eighteen, when Democrats during the first Trump presidency, right
- 25:27Speaker 9: when they were able to win back control the House,
- 25:30Speaker 9: they were even they were even right favorable minus unfavorable,
- 25:33Speaker 9: even at zero zero zero. Now look at this twenty
- 25:38Speaker 9: five points under water off.
- 25:41Speaker 2: We're going to miss White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt
- 25:44Speaker 2: schooling members of the media who act like the Democrats
- 25:48Speaker 2: propaganderam what.
- 25:50Speaker 10: A stupid question.
- 25:51Speaker 11: I now regret giving a question to the Associated Crest.
- 25:54Speaker 10: You're a left wing hack.
- 25:55Speaker 1: You're not a reporter.
- 25:56Speaker 11: If there were peaceful protests on Saturday for the military parade,
- 26:00Speaker 11: President Trump would allow that.
- 26:01Speaker 10: Of course, the president supports peaceful protest. What a stupid question?
- 26:04Speaker 2: She was the youngest pres secretary, but she was competent, articulate,
- 26:09Speaker 2: and smart as a whip and never took a backwood step.
- 26:13Speaker 11: Executive branch. Who's the head of the executive branch? The
- 26:15Speaker 11: President of the United States, he has the right to
- 26:17Speaker 11: buire people within the executive branch. It's pretty simple answer,
- 26:20Speaker 11: with all due respect, only a reporter from the New
- 26:23Speaker 11: York Times would ask a question like that.
- 26:25Speaker 2: And even before she became White House Press Secretary, she
- 26:28Speaker 2: was triggering the leftist media. Watch this sin and melt
- 26:31Speaker 2: down from Ksey Hunt when Caroline Levitt reminded her of
- 26:35Speaker 2: some home truths about her colleagues.
- 26:38Speaker 10: It's so it takes someone five minutes to google Jake
- 26:41Speaker 10: Tapper Donald Trump to see that Jake Tapper has ma'am,
- 26:47Speaker 10: I'm going to stop if I'm stating to attack my colleagues.
- 26:51Speaker 12: I would like to talk about your body and Donald Trump,
- 26:54Speaker 12: who you work for, if you are here to speak.
- 26:56Speaker 10: On his behalf, and I will have this conversation stating
- 27:00Speaker 10: facts that your colleagues have stated in the past. Now
- 27:03Speaker 10: I'm sorry, We're going to come back to Caroline.
- 27:05Speaker 2: Thank you very much from your time.
- 27:06Speaker 12: You are welcome to come back at any point. She
- 27:09Speaker 12: is welcome to come back and speak about Donald Trump,
- 27:12Speaker 12: and Donald Trump will have equal time to Joe Biden
- 27:15Speaker 12: when they both join us now at next Early Leader
- 27:19Speaker 12: this week in Atlanta.
- 27:20Speaker 2: For this to be now. Just when you think CNN
- 27:24Speaker 2: has hit Rob Pottom that they couldn't stoop any lower,
- 27:27Speaker 2: well they find a way to dig. Earlier in the week,
- 27:30Speaker 2: we brought you the smear campaign against President Trump's personal
- 27:33Speaker 2: aid Nashalie Harp, a woman who survived advanced cancer thanks
- 27:38Speaker 2: to a Trump law change on experimental treatments, and then
- 27:42Speaker 2: she came to work for the President. Then the Democrats
- 27:45Speaker 2: decided to smear her by suggesting there was something improper
- 27:49Speaker 2: about her relationship with the President, and of course, the
- 27:53Speaker 2: proud feminis of CNN ran with the smear, even asking
- 27:57Speaker 2: the President about it. But the gut dwellers found a
- 28:01Speaker 2: new low when they went searching for a family member
- 28:04Speaker 2: of Natalie Harps who is anti Trump and willing to
- 28:08Speaker 2: come on sin and to humiliate her and push along
- 28:11Speaker 2: this toxic, manufactured narrative. Shame on Aaron Burnett for partaking
- 28:17Speaker 2: in this mere campaign, and shame on Preston Harp, the
- 28:20Speaker 2: brother of Natalie for appearing on CNN.
- 28:23Speaker 13: Learned right about his incredible reliance on her at all
- 28:27Speaker 13: hours of the day to post social media posts.
- 28:31Speaker 4: Just as one example, I think that.
- 28:38Speaker 14: Trump's best friends are people who are his fan club,
- 28:43Speaker 14: you know, and so she's his biggest fan, and so
- 28:47Speaker 14: that's probably play lakes her and like she's good looking,
- 28:53Speaker 14: she's got a good personality, Like, uh, I don't know.
- 29:00Speaker 2: I want to actually press.
- 29:01Speaker 14: I think she thinks that he saved He thinks that
- 29:04Speaker 14: he saved your life. So like somebody living with that
- 29:07Speaker 14: kind of gratitude, that must feel pretty good.
- 29:13Speaker 2: Joining me now is author and founder of Wrong Speak Publishing,
- 29:18Speaker 2: Adam B. Coleman. Adam, this entire story really does shame
- 29:24Speaker 2: the Democrats and the media. I am shocked that some
- 29:28Speaker 2: in the media are running with this. Natalie Harp is
- 29:32Speaker 2: the President's personal aid. Of course she's going to be
- 29:36Speaker 2: by his side constantly.
- 29:41Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean, none of this surprises me when it
- 29:43Speaker 15: comes to the Democrats and how loo they're willing to
- 29:45Speaker 15: go to Samir Trump, Because anyone who's tacitly attached to Trump,
- 29:50Speaker 15: whether you know, if it's a good nature or nothing
- 29:53Speaker 15: that's out of the ordinary. I mean, imagine Donald Trump
- 29:56Speaker 15: hiring someone that he actually likes and has a good
- 29:58Speaker 15: personality and actually can do their job. And I find
- 30:02Speaker 15: it actually very strange that her brother mentioned her looks,
- 30:05Speaker 15: her personality, but not her skill set exactly.
- 30:11Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the.
- 30:11Speaker 15: Type of family apparently she has.
- 30:15Speaker 2: That is such an excellent point because the way he
- 30:19Speaker 2: answered that question complimenting her but really degrading her at
- 30:24Speaker 2: the same time, suggesting that she only has this job
- 30:27Speaker 2: because she agrees with the president's policies, and she's good
- 30:31Speaker 2: looking and has a nice personality. She's also excellent at
- 30:35Speaker 2: a job, and we saw a lot of her in
- 30:37Speaker 2: that doco during the election campaign. And so yeah, this
- 30:42Speaker 2: entire smear campaign seems to be rather misguided, but I'm
- 30:45Speaker 2: sure there'll be plenty of people watching and believing it.
- 30:48Speaker 2: Now played some polling data earlier on the Democrats brand
- 30:53Speaker 2: being on the nose, even though President Trump's own popularity
- 30:57Speaker 2: is diving, Why have the Democrat hats got a net
- 31:01Speaker 2: favorability rating of minus twenty five percent at the moment.
- 31:05Speaker 2: This is a dramatic drop for less than a decade ago.
- 31:12Speaker 15: Yeah, I think the major reason is that the people
- 31:15Speaker 15: who are actually growing within the Democratic Party are the
- 31:18Speaker 15: least favorable people that you would actually want running anything.
- 31:22Speaker 15: They're touting, mom, Donnie, They're touting all these DSA linked
- 31:27Speaker 15: people as being the future of the Democratic Party, essentially
- 31:31Speaker 15: allowing the Communists to win over the party. And so
- 31:35Speaker 15: the Party of JFK, the party of being pro union
- 31:39Speaker 15: and being somewhat moderate in viewpoint, is essentially gone, and
- 31:44Speaker 15: anyone who is still voting for this particular party who
- 31:47Speaker 15: holds onto these beliefs have to abandon ship, much like
- 31:50Speaker 15: I did years ago.
- 31:53Speaker 2: Now, let's stick with some more data on the topics
- 31:57Speaker 2: that voters care about leading into the mid terms, and
- 32:00Speaker 2: not surprisingly, the economy is right up there. Immigration is
- 32:04Speaker 2: still a top two issue. But what about climate change?
- 32:08Speaker 2: Even after America endured one of the hottest summer months,
- 32:13Speaker 2: climate change barely rates a mention in the minds of
- 32:16Speaker 2: most voters.
- 32:17Speaker 13: Bottom line when it comes to voters is simply put,
- 32:21Speaker 13: they don't care. They don't care. I mean, just look
- 32:23Speaker 13: at look at these numbers. Okay, top issue a midterm vote,
- 32:25Speaker 13: you can list up to three issues. The economy not
- 32:27Speaker 13: surprisingly comes in at number one fifty four percent immigration
- 32:31Speaker 13: twenty eight percent. Look at climate changes, it's tied for fourteenth,
- 32:35Speaker 13: tied for fourteenth, all the way down here at three percent.
- 32:39Speaker 2: Adam, what do you see as being behind this change?
- 32:43Speaker 2: Is it because people have figured out that you either
- 32:47Speaker 2: have cheap, reliable energy, or you prioritize emissions and net
- 32:52Speaker 2: zero goals, or is there something else behind that data.
- 32:57Speaker 15: I mean, I've always seen the climate change discussion as
- 33:00Speaker 15: a luxury position. Most of my family, most of the
- 33:05Speaker 15: people I interact with are relatively middle class, and I've
- 33:09Speaker 15: never heard them say, yeah, I'm voting for him because
- 33:12Speaker 15: of climate change. But it always seems to come from
- 33:16Speaker 15: the upper middle class and upper class who care about
- 33:21Speaker 15: these luxury beliefs that the world's going to burn apart
- 33:24Speaker 15: in ten to fifteen years, which, by the way, they
- 33:26Speaker 15: said ten to fifteen years ago, so exactly like it's
- 33:31Speaker 15: just one thing after another, the ozone layer, it was
- 33:34Speaker 15: one thing, and then you know acid rain, and so
- 33:37Speaker 15: anyone with common sense is looking back and saying, are
- 33:40Speaker 15: there changes happening in the environment. Sure, but there's always
- 33:44Speaker 15: changes happening in the environment. That the history of a
- 33:46Speaker 15: world includes changes in our environment.
- 33:51Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely, We've got a professor Ian Plimer on this
- 33:54Speaker 2: program regularly. He was on tonight and he's a geologist.
- 33:58Speaker 2: He will tell you all about the ice ages and
- 34:01Speaker 2: mass extinction events all through the history of the world. Now,
- 34:06Speaker 2: I've been dying to talk more about the WNBA because
- 34:10Speaker 2: we do have former NBA players now wanting to play
- 34:15Speaker 2: in the WNBA, because the WNBA doesn't seem to know
- 34:17Speaker 2: what the W stands for. And Fox News is reporting
- 34:21Speaker 2: that Royce White has now officially declared for the w
- 34:27Speaker 2: NBA draft. Can you tell me more about this?
- 34:33Speaker 15: I mean, essentially, what they're trying to do is prove
- 34:35Speaker 15: a point. You know, Unfortunately, the W and WNBA stells
- 34:40Speaker 15: for welfare, right, the Welfare League, which is subsidized by
- 34:44Speaker 15: the NBA, operates in that particular fashion. They don't operate
- 34:49Speaker 15: in a way of a regular business where they have
- 34:52Speaker 15: some sort of foundation where they do things to make
- 34:55Speaker 15: a profit. They operate on luxury beliefs, They operate for
- 35:00Speaker 15: flimsy ideas, and so now they have an outside force
- 35:05Speaker 15: pressing them on it. Are you truly allowing men within
- 35:09Speaker 15: the WNBA? Are you going to finally define what a
- 35:12Speaker 15: man is and what a woman is and actually have
- 35:14Speaker 15: that division. So it'll be interesting to see how far
- 35:19Speaker 15: one rust Wade is willing to go. But it'll be
- 35:22Speaker 15: interesting to see how they are reacting to it.
- 35:26Speaker 7: Well.
- 35:26Speaker 2: The WNBA seems to have some weird self destruction fetish
- 35:32Speaker 2: because they are getting the sort of attention they've never
- 35:35Speaker 2: had before. It is a real opportunity for them to
- 35:39Speaker 2: reach a whole new group of fans and expand that
- 35:42Speaker 2: supporter base, but they seem determined to crush it. When
- 35:46Speaker 2: they have a popular player like Sophie Cunningham who's got
- 35:50Speaker 2: broad appeal, they're almost terrified to put her out there
- 35:54Speaker 2: that they're trying to manage it, and almost really in
- 35:59Speaker 2: a weird pass an aggressive way attacker to say her
- 36:02Speaker 2: viewpoints about men and women being different are not welcome
- 36:07Speaker 2: and not really representative of the WNBA.
- 36:12Speaker 15: Yeah, well, I mean this is why I call them
- 36:13Speaker 15: the welfare League. I mean, if you think of it
- 36:16Speaker 15: like this, if your dad is paying all the bills,
- 36:19Speaker 15: are you going to be that responsible? No, the NBA
- 36:22Speaker 15: has been paying the bills of the WNBA since its existence.
- 36:25Speaker 15: It has never turned to profit and seemingly no one
- 36:28Speaker 15: has cared it. The WNBA has never turned to profit,
- 36:32Speaker 15: and everyone knows that the next year the WNBA is
- 36:34Speaker 15: still going to exist. So they've never operated like a
- 36:37Speaker 15: real business. They've operated like this is a luxury existence
- 36:42Speaker 15: where they want to give an opportunity for some women
- 36:44Speaker 15: to play basketball.
- 36:45Speaker 1: But that's about it, and.
- 36:48Speaker 2: That's why it's kind of morphed into some sort of
- 36:50Speaker 2: a political movement or stats where they see the league
- 36:54Speaker 2: as a vehicle to advance these fairly radical positions when
- 36:58Speaker 2: it comes to gender, and not really actually a return
- 37:02Speaker 2: a profit. Now, this next story is incredible. The New
- 37:06Speaker 2: York Post is reporting that biological parents of a child
- 37:10Speaker 2: birth by a surrogate mother, McKenna West, are suing her
- 37:14Speaker 2: for more than one hundred thousand dollars for keeping the
- 37:17Speaker 2: baby rather than aborting it at their requests. Nashine Gilka
- 37:22Speaker 2: and Omar Ahmed far Day countersuit against McKenna West weeks
- 37:27Speaker 2: before she gave birth in Texas to their baby, who
- 37:30Speaker 2: was born with a serious and rare heart defect. Now
- 37:33Speaker 2: around twenty weeks the unborn child was diagnosed with a
- 37:37Speaker 2: life threatening medical condition, but McKenna West refused the surrogate's
- 37:41Speaker 2: request to abort. She traveled from Alaska to Texas where
- 37:46Speaker 2: she has more rights, where she would be recognized as
- 37:49Speaker 2: the birth mother under state law. I just can't believe
- 37:53Speaker 2: this story, Adam, that you can have surrogates demand an
- 37:58Speaker 2: abortion at twenty weeks. So I know there was serious
- 38:03Speaker 2: healthy shoes detected, but that is just a request that
- 38:08Speaker 2: is I don't know. I just I find highly questionable.
- 38:13Speaker 2: And the fact that this birth mother did not want
- 38:15Speaker 2: to go through with it and now she's being sued,
- 38:19Speaker 2: that's even more outrageous.
- 38:22Speaker 15: I mean, this is what happens when you turn human
- 38:24Speaker 15: beings into commodities. You know, they're treating it like, you know,
- 38:29Speaker 15: we don't want that package anymore, let's just return it
- 38:31Speaker 15: to Amazon. Except they're saying, why don't we just kill
- 38:34Speaker 15: a human being because it's not in a favorable state
- 38:37Speaker 15: that we wanted it. Let's contact the manufacturer and just
- 38:40Speaker 15: destroy it from there. You know, this is unfortunately, this
- 38:46Speaker 15: has been something that has come about because we were
- 38:49Speaker 15: sold on surrogacy many many years ago as this treatment
- 38:53Speaker 15: to help someone a struggling mother and father who are
- 38:58Speaker 15: trying to have a child. Now it's turned into an economy,
- 39:03Speaker 15: it's turned into an apparatus for human beings. Children are
- 39:08Speaker 15: nothing more just things you can purchase and things you
- 39:11Speaker 15: can kill when when they don't turn out the way
- 39:13Speaker 15: that you want it to turn out too, you know,
- 39:16Speaker 15: just like putting something in the oven and you baked
- 39:18Speaker 15: it and it didn't come out right, Well you can
- 39:20Speaker 15: just throw it away and start over. So this is
- 39:23Speaker 15: this is what our reality is like. And I really
- 39:25Speaker 15: wish someone had some guts to actually do something about
- 39:29Speaker 15: syrocracy and abortion in a more serious way in our country.
- 39:35Speaker 2: It is I think it started with all the best
- 39:37Speaker 2: intentions and undatedly it's helped people who genuinely can't have
- 39:41Speaker 2: children and it's given them the gift of a biological
- 39:45Speaker 2: child that's that's biologically theirs. But then you hear stories
- 39:49Speaker 2: like these and it's not isolated. There's there's a number
- 39:51Speaker 2: of them that have been publicized in recent years and
- 39:55Speaker 2: really is like it becomes becomes a commodity, as you explained,
- 40:00Speaker 2: Adam be Coleman. Thank you so much for your time
- 40:02Speaker 2: coming up. But why are Harry and Meghan moving back
- 40:06Speaker 2: to the UK? Kiinsy Schofield is up next. Welcome back
- 40:19Speaker 2: and apologies in advance because I have one final dose
- 40:24Speaker 2: of Rosie for the week. Here is the Trump obsessed
- 40:27Speaker 2: former comic who's filling in for Jimmy Kimmel, and of course,
- 40:31Speaker 2: her monologues are centered around one topic.
- 40:35Speaker 6: This has been kind of a strange experience for me
- 40:37Speaker 6: because all of a sudden, I'm refamous.
- 40:40Speaker 2: I'm back in the spotlight, all.
- 40:42Speaker 12: Thanks to President Oopah J.
- 40:44Speaker 2: Looper, who was watching.
- 40:47Speaker 12: Us this evening from inside a catering court. You know,
- 40:57Speaker 12: I couldn't have done it without your sweetie. You brought
- 41:00Speaker 12: me back, just like you did with fascism and the measles.
- 41:04Speaker 2: Joining me now is host of the Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered podcast,
- 41:09Speaker 2: Kinsey Rosie o'donald. She's nothing if not predictable.
- 41:16Speaker 7: She is just loving every moment of this. My body
- 41:19Speaker 7: rejects it.
- 41:20Speaker 16: You know.
- 41:21Speaker 7: The new facelift is facelifting with that smile across her face.
- 41:26Speaker 7: The irony is that she left America because she couldn't
- 41:29Speaker 7: stand Donald Trump, and now she's back in America because
- 41:33Speaker 7: she can't stop talking about Donald Trump. At some point,
- 41:36Speaker 7: you have to wonder who's keeping home relevant. But Rosie
- 41:40Speaker 7: is relentless and we'll milk this for everything she can
- 41:43Speaker 7: and I didn't even think that was funny.
- 41:49Speaker 2: Well it's not. That's the thing. There's a team of
- 41:52Speaker 2: writers and the material is still so lame, and it's
- 41:58Speaker 2: just a desperate attention seeking stunt. They're just waiting for
- 42:02Speaker 2: him to send that tweet out or that post out
- 42:06Speaker 2: mocking Rosie and then I go, look, he's obsessed with her.
- 42:09Speaker 2: So it seems the entire endeavor is to try to
- 42:13Speaker 2: get his attention, which I don't think is a good
- 42:16Speaker 2: way to run a show. Now it's happening. I cannot
- 42:19Speaker 2: believe this. Harry and Meghan are moving back to the UK.
- 42:24Speaker 2: Media outlets have confirmed that the Sussexes have enrolled their
- 42:27Speaker 2: children into a British school to start in September. King
- 42:32Speaker 2: Charles was told of the move on Sunday. There are
- 42:35Speaker 2: no current plans for either Prince Harry or Meghan to
- 42:38Speaker 2: resume any royal duties. Kinsey, the American grift is over.
- 42:44Speaker 2: It seems.
- 42:47Speaker 7: I think that this is an extraordinary admission that the
- 42:50Speaker 7: Great American Experiment did not deliver what Harry and Meghan.
- 42:54Speaker 16: Thought it would.
- 42:55Speaker 7: They left Britain promising financial independence, a global influences and
- 43:00Speaker 7: a billion dollar brand. Six years later, they're enrolling their
- 43:04Speaker 7: children in British schools and moving back to the institution
- 43:07Speaker 7: they spent years telling us they needed to escape. It
- 43:12Speaker 7: turns out the British royal family has a better shelf
- 43:15Speaker 7: life than a Netflix steal.
- 43:19Speaker 2: Well, I don't know how they're going to be received
- 43:22Speaker 2: by the British public. Everyone loves a redemption arc, and
- 43:26Speaker 2: they were beloved despite what they claim in all those
- 43:30Speaker 2: bloody documentaries. When Megan first came on this scene, she
- 43:34Speaker 2: was met with almost unchecked adoration. I remember because I
- 43:38Speaker 2: was one of the lone people going, can't you see
- 43:40Speaker 2: how fake she's But everyone else was loving her. I
- 43:45Speaker 2: do wonder about Prince William and Princess Catherine. How are
- 43:50Speaker 2: they going to cope with this too? Being back in
- 43:53Speaker 2: the country the future King and Queen certainly aren't on
- 43:57Speaker 2: good terms with the ginger and the winter.
- 44:01Speaker 7: Well, so my sources in the UK are just waking up,
- 44:04Speaker 7: and I can tell you that I'm told there is
- 44:06Speaker 7: a genuine concern within the Wales camp because Harry and
- 44:09Speaker 7: Meghan are considered unpredictable and Prince William and Princess Catherine
- 44:13Speaker 7: have already lived through the consequences of very public accusations
- 44:18Speaker 7: and the enormous online hostility that followed. So I don't
- 44:21Speaker 7: think William's first reaction is going to be wonderful the
- 44:24Speaker 7: family's back together. I think his priority will be protecting Catherine,
- 44:28Speaker 7: protecting their children, and protecting their privacy from his brother.
- 44:34Speaker 2: Now, before we move on from the Royals, Queen Camilla
- 44:37Speaker 2: has broken her silence on King charles cancer diagnosis. Have
- 44:41Speaker 2: a listen.
- 44:42Speaker 1: I remember coming to see how Maggie's just after the
- 44:46Speaker 1: King being diagnosed liver.
- 44:48Speaker 4: Did you say anything at.
- 44:49Speaker 2: The time that was quite difficult?
- 44:52Speaker 6: I almost said that I felt that most of the
- 44:57Speaker 6: time to say.
- 44:58Speaker 2: Kin say not often that here from Queen Camilla. What
- 45:02Speaker 2: did you make of the interview?
- 45:04Speaker 16: Well, you're absolutely right.
- 45:06Speaker 7: This was such a big deal that Queen Camilla was
- 45:08Speaker 7: addressing King Charles's cancer, and it's an example of how
- 45:12Speaker 7: Harry and Meghan distract from everything, isn't it. If Harry
- 45:16Speaker 7: and Meghan hadn't announced what they did, then you and
- 45:19Speaker 7: I would have been discussing this primarily and not the Sussex.
- 45:22Speaker 16: Is their a distraction? But this is a lovely story.
- 45:24Speaker 7: She's speaking for a film marking the thirtieth anniversary of
- 45:27Speaker 7: Maggie's This is the cancer support charity she served since
- 45:30Speaker 7: two thousand and eight. And you know, she talks about
- 45:33Speaker 7: how disciplined the king is and how resilient he is.
- 45:36Speaker 7: And you know, we're not just seeing a queen here,
- 45:39Speaker 7: We're seeing a wife.
- 45:40Speaker 16: And I think it's a very sweet story.
- 45:44Speaker 2: Now Madonna has celebrated her sixty eighth birthday in Greece.
- 45:49Speaker 2: Everyone's in Greece, profer see and Plyma I just spoke
- 45:52Speaker 2: to was on the Greek isles. Now back to Madonna.
- 45:55Speaker 2: She wore an extravagant floral dulcy and gobona gown. Oh
- 45:59Speaker 2: my god, gosh, Kinsey, tell me about the celebrations. Was
- 46:03Speaker 2: the much much younger boyfriend at the party?
- 46:08Speaker 7: But much much younger boyfriend was there, Five children were there.
- 46:11Speaker 7: She smashed plates, danced through the night. See whatever you
- 46:14Speaker 7: want about Madonna, but this woman has never once mistaken
- 46:17Speaker 7: herself for a civilian. You know, she's still dressing for
- 46:20Speaker 7: her birthday like the pope, share and a Greek goddess.
- 46:23Speaker 7: We're all fighting over the seam wardrobe.
- 46:27Speaker 2: No, you know what that outfit I actually fully endorsed
- 46:31Speaker 2: because we have seen her recently make some questionable choices
- 46:34Speaker 2: where we've seen way more than we want to now.
- 46:38Speaker 2: An actor tipped as an outside shot to become James Bond,
- 46:41Speaker 2: has called for James Bond to remain a white character.
- 46:46Speaker 2: Nicholas Pinnock, who is black himself, said he grew up
- 46:50Speaker 2: with James Bond looking and acting a certain way. He said,
- 46:54Speaker 2: I don't think changing him and ticking a box is
- 46:57Speaker 2: the answer. Kinsey Bravo. First, why can't we have new
- 47:02Speaker 2: characters rather than trying to change establish characters to tickdiboxes.
- 47:09Speaker 2: Just write new stories with new characters for all sorts
- 47:13Speaker 2: of backgrounds.
- 47:15Speaker 7: I'm supposed to live in like the most creative city
- 47:18Speaker 7: in the world. When it comes to character development, You're
- 47:21Speaker 7: absolutely right. Create another iconic character, Give a brilliant black
- 47:25Speaker 7: actor the budget, scripts, and marketing machine that created James Bond,
- 47:29Speaker 7: and let him build something audiences haven't seen before. That's
- 47:32Speaker 7: way more exciting to me than treating representation like a
- 47:36Speaker 7: casting exercise.
- 47:38Speaker 16: I think audiences are sick of it too.
- 47:40Speaker 7: They're like, we see what you're We see right through
- 47:43Speaker 7: what you're doing here.
- 47:46Speaker 2: You can see it in just about every production, every
- 47:49Speaker 2: TV series where it's almost like they're checking a box
- 47:52Speaker 2: in tacking every diversity category that they possibly can, and
- 47:57Speaker 2: it's kind of artless a lot of the time. Now,
- 48:01Speaker 2: I've got to ask you about this very sad story,
- 48:04Speaker 2: Hayden Pantitier. We've been talking about it all week. The
- 48:07Speaker 2: DEA has joined the investigation into her death. The cause
- 48:10Speaker 2: and manner of the death remains pending further investigation, but
- 48:15Speaker 2: officials were reportedly her discussing an overdose and a cardiac
- 48:19Speaker 2: arrests on nine to eleven on a nine to eleven
- 48:22Speaker 2: call at the time of her death. Kinzie, We've mentioned
- 48:26Speaker 2: on the show the on again, off again troubled relationship
- 48:30Speaker 2: she had with Brian Hickerson and his brother, and they
- 48:34Speaker 2: were at the property when she was pronounced dead by authorities.
- 48:38Speaker 7: The entire world wants to hear from Brian Heckerson. He
- 48:41Speaker 7: was supposed to travel to South Carolina alone. Why was
- 48:45Speaker 7: Hayden with him, What was the current status of their relationship.
- 48:48Speaker 7: Why was the narkian spray found on the bed and
- 48:51Speaker 7: not near Hayden. The police were seen at his family's home,
- 48:56Speaker 7: Brian's family's home on Wednesday morning, So we're obviously not
- 48:59Speaker 7: the only people with questions, but Hayden was supposed to
- 49:03Speaker 7: spend her birthday on Friday with her daughter. I mean,
- 49:05Speaker 7: how heartbreaking is that Brian was never good enough for
- 49:08Speaker 7: Hayden and now she's gone, and I don't know how
- 49:12Speaker 7: he functions in this world with the anger that's being
- 49:17Speaker 7: pointed at him after this death.
- 49:20Speaker 2: It is just so tragic on so many levels, because
- 49:23Speaker 2: it seemed like she had got away from him, got
- 49:26Speaker 2: away from that unhealthy relationship. She wrote about it, she
- 49:29Speaker 2: talked about it extensively, and yet her final days she
- 49:34Speaker 2: seems to have fallen back into this passion. So it
- 49:38Speaker 2: really is Kinsey quite tragic to die at that age,
- 49:43Speaker 2: and we've known her pretty much her entire life. I
- 49:46Speaker 2: think she got her first paid gig at nine months
- 49:49Speaker 2: of age and she's worked ever since. And I think
- 49:53Speaker 2: she was also failed by her family, to be fair,
- 49:56Speaker 2: her own family kind of saw her as a bit
- 49:58Speaker 2: of a meal ticket and they were acting more like
- 50:01Speaker 2: her managers than her parents when she needed to have
- 50:05Speaker 2: some guidance. Kinsisco Field, it is always a pleasure. Thank
- 50:08Speaker 2: you so much for your time tonight, and that's it
- 50:11Speaker 2: for me. Up next, it's late edition,
