Speaker 1: Good evening and welcome to the readA Panney Show. Coming
0:06
Speaker 1: up tonight. The hypocrisy of the Teals as Simon Holmes
0:10
Speaker 1: accord claims that their MPs are victims of misogyny. The
0:14
Speaker 1: panel will be here to discuss that and plenty more
0:17
Speaker 1: extreme violence in Alice Springs as the Chief Minister seeks
0:21
Speaker 1: to introduce the toughest bail laws in the country. Matt
0:24
Speaker 1: Cunningham will join me shortly. Alex Stein and Coridangelis will
0:29
Speaker 1: have the latest from the US and Left Is Losing
0:32
Speaker 1: It features the historically illiterate Joyanne.
0:36
Speaker 2: Read the Roman Empire didn't survive because it didn't have
0:39
Speaker 2: enough strength in its diversity.
0:41
Speaker 3: It suppressed its diversity and it died.
0:44
Speaker 1: But First Foreign Minister Penny Wong has once again fanned
0:48
Speaker 1: the flames for an Indigenous voice to Parliament. Sitting down
0:51
Speaker 1: on an episode of the but Tutor Talks podcast, Pennywong
0:55
Speaker 1: said Australians in the future will be dumbfounded to know
0:59
Speaker 1: that they vote against such an important issue.
1:02
Speaker 4: Look, I think we'll look back on it in ten
1:04
Speaker 4: years time and it'll be a bit like marriage equality.
1:06
Speaker 4: Don't you reckon? Like I always just say marriage equality,
1:09
Speaker 4: which took us such a bloody fight to get that done.
1:12
Speaker 4: And I thought, all this fuss, it'll become something to
1:16
Speaker 4: be like people go, do we have an argument about that?
1:18
Speaker 4: They weren't even like kids today any even adults today
1:22
Speaker 4: barely kind of clock that it used to be an issue.
1:25
Speaker 5: Joining me now four more on this is our panel.
1:28
Speaker 1: Sky News contributors pro McSween and Tina McQueen ladies. The
1:32
Speaker 1: Australian people voted sixty.
1:34
Speaker 5: To forty No. It was a landslide.
1:37
Speaker 1: Every state voted no, despite the No camp having a
1:41
Speaker 1: fraction of the money of the Yes camp to campaign
1:46
Speaker 1: pre I'll start with you, why is the Albanezy government
1:49
Speaker 1: trying to re litigate this issue?
1:53
Speaker 6: Because they have no respect for the Australian people. They
1:57
Speaker 6: have their own agenda and they're in ten on delivering it.
2:01
Speaker 6: And you know the hypocrisy of this woman who opposed
2:06
Speaker 6: the initial marriage equality bill or proposal by the Greens.
2:12
Speaker 7: In twenty ten.
2:15
Speaker 6: Is using that as an example of how people change
2:18
Speaker 6: their mind. Well, she certainly changed their mind, didn't she.
2:21
Speaker 6: But the fact that they've got in their budget, you know,
2:26
Speaker 6: an allocation of money for the truth telling and the treaty.
2:31
Speaker 6: We know the macarata is. They're on the agenda and
2:34
Speaker 6: they're going to force it through and they don't care
2:37
Speaker 6: because they're so cocky now they think that they can
2:40
Speaker 6: inflict anything they like.
2:42
Speaker 7: On the Australian people and we'll copy it.
2:44
Speaker 6: And frankly, if they get in on May three, we
2:47
Speaker 6: are copying it.
2:50
Speaker 1: Well, Tina, perhaps the Coalition would have campaigned on this issue,
2:55
Speaker 1: campaign on the fact that we had this expensive, divisive
2:59
Speaker 1: voice or referee and put the notion out there that
3:03
Speaker 1: they're going to try this again, because what we heard
3:05
Speaker 1: there from Penny Wong is clear evidence that Labor has
3:09
Speaker 1: not accepted or has any respect for the will of
3:12
Speaker 1: the Australian people.
3:14
Speaker 8: No respect at all retail.
3:16
Speaker 9: Look, I'm in absolute disbelief that the Coalition hasn't got
3:19
Speaker 9: hard on this. I mean, we had a wonderful win
3:21
Speaker 9: with the Voice under circumstances that didn't favor us at all,
3:26
Speaker 9: just Enter Price single handedly. I just can't believe we've
3:29
Speaker 9: ignored this issue. And everyone knows that Albanezi can be
3:33
Speaker 9: a little bit vindictive, hates to lose, and if they
3:36
Speaker 9: do form government on May third, I can promise you
3:39
Speaker 9: in the first couple of weeks that will reintroduce this.
3:41
Speaker 8: They'll have no respect for the voice vote.
3:44
Speaker 9: I'm in shock that we haven't just campaigned on this
3:47
Speaker 9: hard the last few weeks.
3:51
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Labor are running another medi scare campaign. They're the
3:56
Speaker 1: ones running the scare campaigns though they are in power,
4:00
Speaker 1: and the coalition seems to have been reluctant to go
4:03
Speaker 1: negative to actually point out this isn't just a scare campaign.
4:07
Speaker 5: This is a real possibility.
4:09
Speaker 1: This is what they did last time around, and they
4:12
Speaker 1: haven't accepted the umpire's decision. They're pushing ahead with this
4:16
Speaker 1: race agenda and if they're in coalition with the Greens,
4:20
Speaker 1: then watch out. Now let's talk about Simon Holmes Accord.
4:24
Speaker 1: He has claimed that many of the female til MPs
4:27
Speaker 1: he backs are at risk of losing their seats and
4:31
Speaker 1: it's due to misogyny. Simonomes Accord said, there are misleading,
4:36
Speaker 1: misogynistic attacks to undermine the credibility of these women. But ladies,
4:43
Speaker 1: Simon Homes, the court seems to have a bit of
4:44
Speaker 1: a short memory because it seems to have been very
4:47
Speaker 1: comfortable with these sort of attacks against conservative politicians. Let's
4:53
Speaker 1: look at just a few examples. Back in twenty twenty two,
4:56
Speaker 1: you use the term crumb maidens a derogatory term to
5:00
Speaker 1: describe Anne Roston, Kayla Cash, Maurice Payne. In twenty twenty two,
5:06
Speaker 1: he also called Victorian MP Katie Allen pathetic and told
5:10
Speaker 1: Susan Lay to get in the bin. And who can
5:14
Speaker 1: forget his conduct with Liberal MP Jane Hume last week
5:18
Speaker 1: her homes of Court called her the nanny. In twenty nineteen,
5:23
Speaker 1: he accused her of bitchiness, and during the twenty two
5:26
Speaker 1: election campaign he accosted her at a polling booth after
5:30
Speaker 1: Hume told him numerous times to just leave me alone.
5:35
Speaker 5: We remember all that footage, Tina.
5:37
Speaker 1: It seems that Simon Holmes the Court has a pretty
5:40
Speaker 1: hazy memory when it comes to women copying unfair treatment
5:45
Speaker 1: in politics.
5:46
Speaker 9: Very selective and it's also apparent from the previous statements
5:50
Speaker 9: the conservative women simply don't count. And this is quite
5:53
Speaker 9: often the case across the board. His comments have been
5:56
Speaker 9: disrespectful and wopeful to conservative women. Yet now he's trying
6:01
Speaker 9: to make out it's the teal candidate.
6:04
Speaker 8: He's women that are hard done by. Nothing could be
6:06
Speaker 8: further from the truth.
6:07
Speaker 9: I do hope he's right, though I hope some of
6:09
Speaker 9: them at least lose their seats. But he should be
6:12
Speaker 9: more good that he responded to Jane him. But he
6:15
Speaker 9: should be more careful and treat all women with respect,
6:18
Speaker 9: not just those that he pays their campaigns.
6:22
Speaker 5: Prue.
6:23
Speaker 1: This is not isolated when it comes to the left.
6:26
Speaker 1: They're very sensitive to any hints of misogyny sexism when
6:31
Speaker 1: it's targeted at leftist women, but they are guilty of
6:35
Speaker 1: just heinous behavior us. Some of the most reprehensible things
6:39
Speaker 1: I have seen online targeted at women are targeted at
6:43
Speaker 1: conservative women, and the Sisterhood doesn't come in to defend them.
6:47
Speaker 1: The Sisterhood isn't there to say this sort of behavior
6:50
Speaker 1: is unacceptable.
6:53
Speaker 7: Read did they have double standards? Don't they?
6:55
Speaker 6: The hypocrisy is astounding, or probably not so astounding these days.
7:00
Speaker 6: We're so used to it from any of the lefties.
7:03
Speaker 6: But you know, you have this spoil little rich boy
7:06
Speaker 6: who's got this big bank, big wallet, and he's not happy.
7:10
Speaker 6: He's stamping his foot because it's not going his way.
7:13
Speaker 6: And you know, thankfully people are waking up to the teals.
7:17
Speaker 6: These con artists who pretend to be something and are
7:21
Speaker 6: definitely the opposite.
7:23
Speaker 7: So I'm delighted that they're under threat.
7:26
Speaker 6: I just hope that the donors and many of whom
7:28
Speaker 6: I'm sure are you know, people have invested quite heavily
7:31
Speaker 6: in the renewables.
7:34
Speaker 7: Scam as far as I'm concerned, will.
7:37
Speaker 6: Wake up to the fact that, you know, they're backing
7:39
Speaker 6: the wrong horse.
7:40
Speaker 7: But I doubt it.
7:41
Speaker 6: When money is in line, you know, they'll always go
7:45
Speaker 6: after the money trail.
7:48
Speaker 1: Now, as we reach the final days of the election campaign,
7:51
Speaker 1: it seems like the cringe worthy posts from the candidates
7:56
Speaker 1: are getting worse. Let's take a look here at a
7:58
Speaker 1: labor candidate for Ali France. She's contesting Peter Dutton's seat
8:04
Speaker 1: of Dixon. Just inspiring stuff there. Now, when it comes
8:15
Speaker 1: to weapon grade cringe, the Greens are among the worst offenders.
8:20
Speaker 1: Let's have a look at Green's letter, Adam Band's.
8:23
Speaker 5: Work friend, Bady friends.
8:31
Speaker 10: Friend.
8:32
Speaker 5: Okay, there's worse.
8:34
Speaker 1: Take a look here at Green's candidate Mandy Nolan, who
8:38
Speaker 1: seems to think that if we get rid of coal
8:41
Speaker 1: and gas projects, we will somehow be able to fund
8:45
Speaker 1: health and education better. And she also thinks she cannot
8:48
Speaker 1: cap mortgage payments.
8:50
Speaker 11: You know what would make sense if we've got dental
8:53
Speaker 11: in domedicair, and we had a limit on mortgage and
8:57
Speaker 11: rent increases, and we stopped opening cold and gasmine in
9:01
Speaker 11: the middle of a climate crisis, so we can fund
9:03
Speaker 11: health and education and make sure that everyone has a
9:07
Speaker 11: secure home.
9:08
Speaker 7: Proue.
9:09
Speaker 1: This is just a fantasy in material. We perhaps should
9:13
Speaker 1: start having some truth in advertising regulations when it comes
9:16
Speaker 1: to the Greens.
9:18
Speaker 6: Well, it's astounding that there isn't truth in advertising. This
9:22
Speaker 6: whole campaign has been a campaign of fabrications, misinformation and lies.
9:29
Speaker 7: The ads that we see at nauseum.
9:32
Speaker 6: Are all lies, and yet they're getting away with it.
9:35
Speaker 6: Where is the consumer protection? And we've got these influencers
9:40
Speaker 6: who apparently have a brain. I have yet to determine
9:44
Speaker 6: if they do, but they're going to squeal the loudest.
9:47
Speaker 6: You know that last one said nothing changes. If nothing changes,
9:52
Speaker 6: well if they keep if they actually do vote in
9:55
Speaker 6: Labor and the Greens, nothing will change.
9:59
Speaker 8: You know, reader, It's sad.
10:00
Speaker 9: I mean we sit back and eye up and laugh
10:02
Speaker 9: at these ads, but it's frightening. Some of these people
10:04
Speaker 9: may actually get elected. And if someone like that is elected,
10:07
Speaker 9: that's the scary part. So as much as we'd like
10:10
Speaker 9: to mop and make fun of these ads, because they
10:12
Speaker 9: are ridiculous with some demographics, they work and it's.
10:16
Speaker 6: Scary and they're going to squeal so loudly when they
10:19
Speaker 6: can't power up their influencer, you know, spotlights and post
10:24
Speaker 6: it and charge their phones. They're going to wonder what happened, Well,
10:28
Speaker 6: they deserve what's coming to them.
10:32
Speaker 1: Well, they'll blame somebody else. They'll never take responsibility that
10:35
Speaker 1: the very policies that advocated for has brought about the
10:39
Speaker 1: pain they're suffering.
10:41
Speaker 5: Now, let's have a look at this bit.
10:43
Speaker 1: Of satire from the days when the chaser was actually funny.
10:47
Speaker 1: This is why people used to vote for the Greens
10:50
Speaker 1: before they become I don't know what do you call
10:52
Speaker 1: them these days, far left extremists.
10:54
Speaker 9: I felt disillusioned and let down by the two major parties.
10:58
Speaker 4: That's why I voted Greens.
11:00
Speaker 8: I'm an inner city trending who's never had to.
11:02
Speaker 1: Deal with really shees like drought, transport or having to
11:05
Speaker 1: run your own business.
11:06
Speaker 5: That's why I voted Greens. I'm trying to get into
11:09
Speaker 5: the pans.
11:10
Speaker 12: So this hot hippie girl is into dolphins and shit.
11:13
Speaker 5: That's why I voted Greens.
11:15
Speaker 13: I'm a cool hepster from Melbourne who always lives against
11:18
Speaker 13: the Green just a.
11:19
Speaker 9: Look alternative, That's why I voted Greens.
11:23
Speaker 14: I was just staying on an elections.
11:28
Speaker 7: Tita.
11:30
Speaker 1: They used to be a joke, we used to mock them,
11:32
Speaker 1: but really you look at them now, you look at
11:35
Speaker 1: the policies that advocate for the anti Semitism, the hostility
11:40
Speaker 1: to Australia. They're a dangerous party and they may hold
11:45
Speaker 1: the balance of power. In fact, that's possibly the most
11:48
Speaker 1: likely scenario, as the Poles stand tonight tonight and all.
11:52
Speaker 9: These young people but you know, rushing to vote for them.
11:56
Speaker 9: What about the inheritance tax guys they might introduce. Honestly,
11:59
Speaker 9: you're all think of the future, think of your inheritance,
12:03
Speaker 9: Think very carefully before your vote Green. Although I haven't seen,
12:07
Speaker 9: they're not moving too much in the polls, hopefully their
12:11
Speaker 9: vote will drop this election.
12:12
Speaker 1: Reta now, Housing Minister Clara O'Neill has distanced herself from
12:19
Speaker 1: ten potential volunteers linked to the Chinese Communist Party in
12:23
Speaker 1: her electorate of Hotham. A Chinese Australian labor member who
12:27
Speaker 1: describes himself as a friend of Miss O'Neill reportedly used
12:31
Speaker 1: an intermediri to gather ten Chinese Australians to staff polling
12:36
Speaker 1: boots on election day. And this all comes claims of
12:40
Speaker 1: possible foreign interference involving till MP Monique ran in the
12:44
Speaker 1: seat of Qyong. There are approximately one point four million
12:49
Speaker 1: Australians with Chinese ancestry living in the country right now.
12:54
Speaker 5: It's a pretty significant voting block.
12:57
Speaker 7: Well, this is the problem.
12:59
Speaker 6: You know, both parties will all parties want to court them.
13:03
Speaker 6: A diasper has quite a powerful influence. And what's concerning
13:08
Speaker 6: is the contradiction. So we have Clara O'Neil saying that
13:13
Speaker 6: this mister Ji, who is associated with the Communist Party
13:17
Speaker 6: in China, volunteered to supply volunteers, but then he said
13:23
Speaker 6: that her offers reached out. We've got Andrew Charlton who's
13:28
Speaker 6: accusing Liberal volunteers of being part of the exclusive Brethren.
13:33
Speaker 6: And we have, as you said, Mcmonique Ryan who's seemingly
13:38
Speaker 6: having or for some amazing reason, these Chinese are again
13:45
Speaker 6: volunteering for her. So there needs to be a whole investigation.
13:50
Speaker 6: I believe into this because it's quite dangerous and when
13:53
Speaker 6: we have political parties who are potentially being influenced by
13:59
Speaker 6: the Communist Party of China, then we're in for a
14:02
Speaker 6: really bad time. So it cannot be ignored. This is
14:06
Speaker 6: very significant and we need an investigation.
14:11
Speaker 5: Tina.
14:12
Speaker 1: Is this part of the reason why the Albanese government
14:14
Speaker 1: is so soft on China even as their warships are
14:17
Speaker 1: in our territory, because they know there's one point four
14:21
Speaker 1: million voters with a link to China and some of them,
14:25
Speaker 1: maybe many of them, do have some feelings of allegiance
14:30
Speaker 1: and they don't like to see criticism of China.
14:34
Speaker 8: That's true.
14:35
Speaker 9: There's no doubt that Albanesi is very careful not to
14:38
Speaker 9: raffle China's feathers. Look traditionally, a lot of the Chinese
14:43
Speaker 9: voters in electorates are conservative voters. But as you say,
14:47
Speaker 9: there is this strong pool to the home country. So yeah,
14:51
Speaker 9: Albanese is really tiptoeing about the whole China and I
14:56
Speaker 9: think this is something done and again didn't capitalize on
14:59
Speaker 9: to show our strength.
15:00
Speaker 8: The countries will stand up to.
15:01
Speaker 9: I mean, there's so many things during this election we
15:04
Speaker 9: should have been more firm on reader that will be
15:06
Speaker 9: no doubt looked at closely after the election went Sadly,
15:09
Speaker 9: it's all too late.
15:12
Speaker 1: Well, we've been talking about it for weeks, even before
15:15
Speaker 1: the election was called. We were in talking about the
15:18
Speaker 1: coalition being bolder, being stronger, being clear in how they
15:22
Speaker 1: differentiate themselves from Labor. And there are so many policy
15:26
Speaker 1: areas where they could have done that energy being right
15:29
Speaker 1: up there, immigration policy, population policy. If they came in
15:33
Speaker 1: saying we're going to slash immigration by fifty percent because
15:37
Speaker 1: we cannot cope with five hundred thousand people a year
15:40
Speaker 1: coming in as they did under Labor, I think that
15:42
Speaker 1: would have spoke to the electorate. But they have just
15:45
Speaker 1: declined to do that. It's been a bizarre campaign as
15:48
Speaker 1: far as I've seen. Before you go, Lateies, I wanted
15:51
Speaker 1: to bring you a bit of a Megan Markle. It's
15:54
Speaker 1: been a while since we've talked about the Duchess. She
15:56
Speaker 1: appeared on a Friends podcast this week. A woman who
16:00
Speaker 1: is even more annoying than Megan. Her name is Jamie
16:02
Speaker 1: kurrent Lima. And here, I mean, the whole thing is
16:06
Speaker 1: just so painful. I've just picked one little clip here.
16:09
Speaker 1: She just talks about just what an incredible work ethic
16:13
Speaker 1: she has.
16:14
Speaker 15: My gosh, I work so hard, and I appreciate what
16:18
Speaker 15: hard work looks like. I like working hard, and I'm
16:24
Speaker 15: still working hard. Right the moment that everything sells out,
16:26
Speaker 15: it doesn't mean that we're done. Yeah, it means we're
16:29
Speaker 15: working on replenishment and what are the next cues and
16:30
Speaker 15: what's the next tranch of products and what's the timing
16:32
Speaker 15: on that, and writing the newsletters and writing their social
16:35
Speaker 15: media captions and making sure that all that appeels in
16:37
Speaker 15: line and what's the cadence of it, and what's the
16:39
Speaker 15: photography that we want to.
16:40
Speaker 7: Do and what do I want to wear for those shoots?
16:42
Speaker 15: While also editing all the time coded notes for season
16:45
Speaker 15: two of With Love Meghan, and then being in edits
16:48
Speaker 15: for the podcast and making and being a mom and
16:53
Speaker 15: a wife and a friend.
16:54
Speaker 1: Yes, the work ethic must just be grueling, writing social
16:58
Speaker 1: media captions, deciding.
16:59
Speaker 5: What she's going to wear, being a MoMA prue.
17:04
Speaker 1: It's too much for me that there's only small doses
17:07
Speaker 1: of that podcast I can consume because it's just too.
17:11
Speaker 7: Posting that long.
17:12
Speaker 6: I mean it is, so that is enough to make
17:16
Speaker 6: you go to the toilet. I've got to say, you know,
17:18
Speaker 6: it is revolting. That woman is just something else. So
17:24
Speaker 6: he's made his bed, poor h as she calls him,
17:27
Speaker 6: you know, what a silly boy here is, and he's
17:29
Speaker 6: going to learn the hard way.
17:30
Speaker 8: I think it's just exhausting watching her, you know.
17:32
Speaker 9: And I love how she rabbits on about her children
17:35
Speaker 9: and her love of family. How long since she's spoken
17:37
Speaker 9: to a poor sick father.
17:39
Speaker 8: Yeah, such a hypocrite. It's exhausting and hard to watch
17:42
Speaker 8: for it, and.
17:45
Speaker 1: Separated Harry from his family, and did it whilst his
17:49
Speaker 1: much loved grandmother was ailing. I mean, let's not forget that.
17:53
Speaker 1: Pre McSween teena McQueen, thank you so much for your time.
17:56
Speaker 1: Now to the Northern Territory and another service station worker
18:00
Speaker 1: was attacked over the weekend.
18:01
Speaker 5: Plise say the worker was stabbed.
18:03
Speaker 1: And punched after confronting two men over stolen items. This
18:08
Speaker 1: comes just one week after another worker was allegedly stabbed
18:11
Speaker 1: to death by an eighteen year old who was out
18:14
Speaker 1: on bail on serious assault charges. This has forced a
18:18
Speaker 1: Northern Territory's Chief minister to announce tougher bail laws, joining
18:22
Speaker 1: me now to discuss this. This guy News Northern Territory
18:24
Speaker 1: correspondent Matt Cunningham. Matt, it's been a pretty wild few
18:29
Speaker 1: days in the NT. How's the community handling it?
18:35
Speaker 2: Oh?
18:35
Speaker 16: Look, I think a lot of people reader are really
18:38
Speaker 16: sad and they're really angry about particularly what happened last
18:42
Speaker 16: week where we saw the owner of the Nightcliff Supermarket,
18:46
Speaker 16: Linford Fike, stabbed to death in his own workplace, a
18:50
Speaker 16: place where he has worked with his family, with his
18:55
Speaker 16: wife Margaret and his son Ben. You know, they established
18:59
Speaker 16: that business over morning three decades. It is a place
19:01
Speaker 16: that really is the heart and soul of the community.
19:03
Speaker 16: And to have a situation where an eighteen year old
19:07
Speaker 16: man who according to police, was in there trying to
19:09
Speaker 16: steal from that shop when Lindford tried to escort him
19:12
Speaker 16: out of the premises and then he allegedly stabbed and
19:16
Speaker 16: killed Lindford, I think has just left everyone quite shocked
19:22
Speaker 16: and quite angry about the whole situation. And then to
19:25
Speaker 16: subsequently learn that, you know, that alleged defender was on
19:29
Speaker 16: bail for very serious offenses, including the alleged rape of
19:34
Speaker 16: a fourteen year old girl. I think people are just
19:36
Speaker 16: shaking their heads and wondering how on earth we've got
19:39
Speaker 16: to this point.
19:41
Speaker 1: Now, Matt, the Northern Territory will have the toughest bail
19:44
Speaker 1: laws in the country. That's why the Chief Minister wants
19:47
Speaker 1: to see what will that mean for the courts and
19:50
Speaker 1: for the police and is it a plan that's backed
19:53
Speaker 1: by community leaders.
19:57
Speaker 16: Look, I think the plan has widespread support to answer
20:01
Speaker 16: your question in Parliament today. I mean even the Greens
20:04
Speaker 16: MP who represents the electorate of Nightcliff where this incident happened.
20:10
Speaker 16: She in the Parliament supported the government's changes to bail laws.
20:14
Speaker 16: So it had almost unanimous support from the parliament. There
20:18
Speaker 16: was an independent MP who abstained and another independent who
20:22
Speaker 16: wasn't in the chamber but did have the support of
20:24
Speaker 16: the Greens MP. It had the support of Labor and
20:27
Speaker 16: of course it had the support of the seventeen members
20:30
Speaker 16: of the Government. What essentially is being changed is there
20:34
Speaker 16: will be a removal of a clause that applies to
20:38
Speaker 16: youth offenders at the moment that says detention must be
20:41
Speaker 16: an option of last resort that has been taken out,
20:44
Speaker 16: and there will be also inserted a clause where it
20:48
Speaker 16: will say that a judge must have a high degree
20:51
Speaker 16: of confidence that someone who is given bail will not
20:56
Speaker 16: reoffend while they are on bail. Now, this is something
20:59
Speaker 16: that was changed in New South Wales and the Chief
21:04
Speaker 16: Minister Leafanocquio has said that not only will the legislation
21:07
Speaker 16: here in the Northern territory now go as far as
21:10
Speaker 16: New South Wales, it will in fact go further because
21:12
Speaker 16: there will be more prescribed offenses that fall under this legislation.
21:18
Speaker 16: Where that is the consideration that the judge must make.
21:23
Speaker 16: I guess the question that's being asked because the country
21:25
Speaker 16: of the Liberal Party came to power last August, and when
21:29
Speaker 16: they came to power last August, they had promised to
21:31
Speaker 16: crack down on baila, promised to crack down on law
21:33
Speaker 16: and order. That actually implemented changes to the bail laws
21:37
Speaker 16: that they'd call Declan's Law in honor of Declan and Lavity,
21:40
Speaker 16: the twenty year old bottletrot worker who was killed a
21:42
Speaker 16: couple of years ago, stabbed to death while he was
21:44
Speaker 16: at work. So they changed the presumption so that the
21:47
Speaker 16: presumption was against bail for a lot of these serious offenses.
21:51
Speaker 16: But still we've had a number of incidents since then,
21:55
Speaker 16: where we have learned of people committing serious violent crimes
21:59
Speaker 16: while they have been on bail. So that's why they've
22:01
Speaker 16: gone a step further now and implemented what they are
22:04
Speaker 16: calling the toughest toughest bail laws in the country.
22:08
Speaker 1: Well, obviously those changes weren't effective because, as you explained earlier,
22:13
Speaker 1: we had a man murdered a week ago allegedly by
22:15
Speaker 1: someone who was out on bail on very serious offenses.
22:18
Speaker 1: So if you do end up with the toughest bail
22:22
Speaker 1: laws in the country, I think.
22:23
Speaker 5: That's a good thing.
22:24
Speaker 1: We've seen footage of extreme violence in the past week,
22:29
Speaker 1: of mass brawls at service stations, at pubs, on the streets.
22:34
Speaker 1: Must just be terrible for the local community there to
22:37
Speaker 1: be living with that. Do you think the Prime Minister
22:39
Speaker 1: and the Opposition leader should have a greater focus on
22:43
Speaker 1: this issue as the election campaign hits the final days.
22:49
Speaker 16: Well, I think everyone here would love the Prime Minister
22:52
Speaker 16: and the Opposition leader to have a greater focus on
22:55
Speaker 16: this issue. It seems sometimes living up here, it seems
22:58
Speaker 16: like you live in a parallel universe and you look
23:00
Speaker 16: at the issues that get discussed on the East Coast
23:05
Speaker 16: in Canberra, etc. Particularly around the issue of Indigenous affairs.
23:09
Speaker 16: I see this ongoing debate about welcome to country that
23:13
Speaker 16: are happening at the moment in Sydney and Melbourne and Canberra,
23:18
Speaker 16: and I can tell you not many people are talking
23:20
Speaker 16: about welcomes to country up here at the moment. They're
23:23
Speaker 16: talking about just the absolute chaos and dysfunction that we
23:27
Speaker 16: are witnessing on the streets of Darwin. We've talked about
23:30
Speaker 16: the streets of Alice Springs. I was in Catherine last week.
23:32
Speaker 16: The number one number one thing people wanted to to
23:35
Speaker 16: talk about in Catherine was the crime, the law and order,
23:38
Speaker 16: the violence and dysfunction that is happening on our streets.
23:41
Speaker 16: And I'd have to say, in many cases it's a
23:43
Speaker 16: result of various policies in some instances that have been
23:47
Speaker 16: sent our way from politicians in Canberra. I mean, right now, reader,
23:52
Speaker 16: we are reversing decisions that were made by government in
23:55
Speaker 16: the wake of the twenty seventeen Royal Commission into the
23:58
Speaker 16: Protection and Detention of Children, a royal commission that Malcolm Turnbull,
24:02
Speaker 16: the former Liberal Party Prime Minister, announced the morning after
24:04
Speaker 16: he watched the TV show and we then had that
24:07
Speaker 16: Royal Commission that went for twelve months and gave us
24:10
Speaker 16: more than two hundred recommendations, and a lot of those
24:12
Speaker 16: recommendations were about making it easier for people to get bail.
24:16
Speaker 16: This is the situation we've been left in. So you're
24:18
Speaker 16: all down there talking about welcome to country, I can
24:20
Speaker 16: tell you that's not what we're talking about up here
24:23
Speaker 16: at the moment. We're talking about the damage that is
24:25
Speaker 16: being done to a community by policies that are often
24:29
Speaker 16: directed by people who we are told are experts who
24:33
Speaker 16: live a long, long way away.
24:34
Speaker 1: From this place. Matt Cunningham Well said, thank you so
24:39
Speaker 1: much for your time tonight, still to come.
24:42
Speaker 5: Left is losing it?
24:43
Speaker 1: Plus who is the unhappiest woman in America right now?
24:47
Speaker 5: Alex Stein joins me.
24:49
Speaker 1: Next, you're watching the Reader Panning Show, and it's time
25:01
Speaker 1: for lefties losing it? And Donald Trump was giving a
25:04
Speaker 1: speech in Michigan to mark the first hundred days of
25:07
Speaker 1: his second term when a lefty losing at last, decided
25:11
Speaker 1: to make a monumental full of herself. Now what she
25:14
Speaker 1: as the president tries to figure out whether there's lefty
25:18
Speaker 1: is male or female?
25:20
Speaker 13: What's the problem over there?
25:22
Speaker 17: What's the problem is that a radical left lunatic. He's
25:28
Speaker 17: just a.
25:29
Speaker 13: Child all I get about.
25:31
Speaker 17: Yeah, oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, ma'am.
25:36
Speaker 13: I thought it was a guy, thank you. And she
25:44
Speaker 13: now has to go home to a mother who's a
25:46
Speaker 13: big Trump fan. Her mother's watching. I'm sorry, I'm.
25:55
Speaker 17: Sorry, I said he and it's a she.
25:58
Speaker 13: I'm sorry.
26:00
Speaker 7: Oh.
26:00
Speaker 5: Yes.
26:00
Speaker 1: It can be hard to work out whether some of
26:03
Speaker 1: these radical left lunatic non binary folk are male or female.
26:07
Speaker 1: And talking about LGBTQIA plus plus plus community, here is
26:11
Speaker 1: a trans woman also known as a man identifying as
26:15
Speaker 1: a woman who fled to the UK, but it hasn't
26:19
Speaker 1: worked out well.
26:20
Speaker 18: Consider to come to the United Kingdom, which has been
26:23
Speaker 18: a huge mistake, I must say, not only the April
26:26
Speaker 18: sixteenth of Ail, the past and valid eating transfers, genders,
26:31
Speaker 18: tensions ship very quickly on laves change and yeah, I've
26:39
Speaker 18: been found myself not welcome and place as I was
26:42
Speaker 18: welcome just one mansorablon very quickly. It's been terriby.
26:47
Speaker 5: Now sticking to the UK, you may have missed this,
26:49
Speaker 5: but there was a little miracle the leftist British.
26:52
Speaker 1: PMK Starmer, who no long ago claimed that some women
26:56
Speaker 1: have penises? Will they somehow at the tender age of
27:00
Speaker 1: sixty two worked out what a woman is?
27:03
Speaker 3: Bless?
27:04
Speaker 14: Do you believe a trans woman is a woman? I
27:08
Speaker 14: think these Supreme Court has answered that question. But I
27:11
Speaker 14: think a woman is an adult female, and the Court
27:14
Speaker 14: has made that absolutely clear. I actually welcome the judgment
27:17
Speaker 14: because I think it gives real clarity. It allows those
27:21
Speaker 14: that have got a drop guidance to be really clear
27:24
Speaker 14: about what that guidance should say.
27:26
Speaker 1: Now I have missed historically illiterate, hysteric Joyanne read since
27:30
Speaker 1: she was sacked by MSNBC, But thankfully she's still producing
27:34
Speaker 1: content like this where she claims voting for Republicans will
27:39
Speaker 1: lead to civilizational death. And the example she uses couldn't
27:44
Speaker 1: be more wrong.
27:45
Speaker 2: If you take that away and try to distill us
27:47
Speaker 2: just down to white folks, we'll be like Europe.
27:51
Speaker 3: And aging, slowly dying former empire.
27:56
Speaker 2: The Roman Empire didn't survive because it didn't have enough
27:59
Speaker 2: strength its diversity.
28:00
Speaker 3: It suppressed its diversity, and it died.
28:04
Speaker 2: If the US wants to be the Roman Empire, keep
28:06
Speaker 2: voting the way you vote in y'all.
28:08
Speaker 1: You know Joy's mad fever. Dreams about Trump and white
28:11
Speaker 1: supremacy seem to impact her entire worldview, But you.
28:15
Speaker 5: Can't change history.
28:17
Speaker 10: Joy.
28:17
Speaker 1: Well, before the fall of the Roman Empire, the emperor
28:20
Speaker 1: granted full Roman citizenship to all three men within the empire,
28:25
Speaker 1: changing the entire scope of citizenship to be far more inclusive.
28:30
Speaker 1: Facts are our friends. Now, let's check in with former
28:33
Speaker 1: First Lady Michelle Obama, who must be among the unhappiest
28:37
Speaker 1: women in America. She's full of self pity, she's full
28:41
Speaker 1: of disdain for the country that gave us so much,
28:44
Speaker 1: and full of fears that are frankly hysterical in this
28:48
Speaker 1: current climate.
28:50
Speaker 19: For me, it's you know, what's happening to immigrants, you know,
28:54
Speaker 19: So it's it's not the fear for myself anymore. I
28:57
Speaker 19: drive around in a four car motor care with the
29:00
Speaker 19: police escort.
29:01
Speaker 5: I'm Michelle Obama.
29:03
Speaker 19: I do still worry about my daughters in the world,
29:06
Speaker 19: even though they are somewhat recognizable. So my fears are
29:09
Speaker 19: for what I know is happening out there in streets
29:13
Speaker 19: all over the city. And now that we have leadership
29:16
Speaker 19: that is sort of indiscriminately determining who belongs and who
29:21
Speaker 19: doesn't indiscriminately.
29:23
Speaker 1: Really, Michelle, you have to be in the country illegally.
29:26
Speaker 1: You have to have broken the law to be in
29:28
Speaker 1: the country illegally to be a candidate for deportation. Kind
29:32
Speaker 1: Of an important point, but miserable. Michelle wasn't done yet.
29:36
Speaker 1: She really does seem like the unhappiest person in America,
29:40
Speaker 1: even with the full cor motiicate.
29:43
Speaker 19: And knowing that there's so much bias and so much
29:45
Speaker 19: racism and so much ignorance that fuels those kind of choices.
29:50
Speaker 19: I worry for people of color all over this country,
29:55
Speaker 19: and I don't know that we will have the advocates
29:58
Speaker 19: to protect everybody, and that makes me.
30:01
Speaker 7: That frightens me. It keeps me up at night.
30:05
Speaker 19: And I know that there are and I see that
30:08
Speaker 19: when I'm driving around LA, I'm just looking in the
30:10
Speaker 19: faces of folks who could be victim, and I'm wondering,
30:14
Speaker 19: how are you feeling, How do you feel standing on
30:16
Speaker 19: the bus stop, How do you feel comfortable going to work,
30:20
Speaker 19: going to school when you know that there could be
30:23
Speaker 19: people out here judging you and who could up end
30:26
Speaker 19: your life in a second.
30:28
Speaker 5: Incredible stuff.
30:30
Speaker 1: Funnily enough, Michelle wasn't too worried when her husband, the
30:33
Speaker 1: man who got the nickname Deporter in Chief. She wasn't
30:37
Speaker 1: too worried when he was in the White House and
30:39
Speaker 1: responsible for deporting millions. That didn't keep her up at night.
30:43
Speaker 1: Let's give Michelle a little reminder.
30:46
Speaker 20: We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United
30:49
Speaker 20: States undetected, undocumented, unchecked, and circumventing the line of people
30:56
Speaker 20: who are waiting patiently, diligently, and lawfully to become immigrants
31:01
Speaker 20: in this country. So that's why we need to start
31:04
Speaker 20: by giving agencies charge with border security, new technology, new facilities,
31:09
Speaker 20: and more people to stop process and deport illegal immigrants.
31:14
Speaker 1: That's how Barak used to campaign, and when he was
31:17
Speaker 1: in office, he was deporting millions. He even talked about
31:21
Speaker 1: targeting businesses that gave employment to illegal immigrants.
31:26
Speaker 5: I don't think this kept Michelle up at NASEE either.
31:28
Speaker 20: We all agree on the need to better secure the
31:32
Speaker 20: border and the punish employers who choose to hire illegal immigrants.
31:37
Speaker 10: You know, we are a generous and welcoming people here
31:40
Speaker 10: in the United States, but those who entered the country
31:42
Speaker 10: illegally and those who imployed them disrespect the rule of law,
31:47
Speaker 10: and they are showing disregard for those who are following
31:52
Speaker 10: the law.
31:52
Speaker 1: Joining me now is comedian and host of Prime Time
31:55
Speaker 1: with Alex Stein on Blaze TV.
31:57
Speaker 5: Alex Michelle was in the wine House.
32:00
Speaker 1: During a period where Barack got known as the deporter
32:04
Speaker 1: in chief? Did she ever speak out about that at
32:07
Speaker 1: the time, Because Trump's doing the same thing, and it's
32:11
Speaker 1: keeping the poor woman up at night.
32:14
Speaker 21: You know, honestly, I don't think Trump is deporting him
32:18
Speaker 21: fast enough. I really do believe that, even though I
32:20
Speaker 21: know he's doing a great job on stopping the illegal
32:22
Speaker 21: border crosses right now. But listen, let's look at Michelle,
32:25
Speaker 21: Obama and Riata. You know, I've been trying to kind
32:27
Speaker 21: of pinpoint the similarities to Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith.
32:32
Speaker 21: You know, if you look at it now, she's doing
32:34
Speaker 21: a podcast. Jada Pinkett Smith is doing a podcast. It
32:37
Speaker 21: just seems like this couple that you know, gave us
32:40
Speaker 21: the impression that they are very strong, they're on thin eyes.
32:43
Speaker 21: So I've just you know, the hypocrisy of the Obama
32:46
Speaker 21: is considering they say climate change is one of our
32:48
Speaker 21: biggest threats, that they live in Martha's vineyards. So this
32:51
Speaker 21: is just another example of probably some of the most
32:54
Speaker 21: hypocritical people on planet Earth.
32:58
Speaker 5: But also some of the unhappiest.
33:00
Speaker 1: It seems Michelle's podcast is just a massive winch fest.
33:05
Speaker 1: Is She's just lives a fairly charmed existence. You would
33:08
Speaker 1: think she's gotten more money than she could ever need.
33:12
Speaker 5: She's got the four car murdercate you mentioned.
33:14
Speaker 1: There, but she just whinds endlessly on that podcast and
33:20
Speaker 1: all these interviews. She's almost overtaken Meghan markl and Prince
33:23
Speaker 1: Harry as the most self delighted, overprivileged, miserable people in
33:29
Speaker 1: the country.
33:31
Speaker 21: Well, and that's a tough award to win because nobody
33:34
Speaker 21: can beat Meghan Markle really when it comes to that.
33:36
Speaker 21: But you know, I mean, just the sad reality though
33:40
Speaker 21: when it comes to Michelle Obama, is that you're right,
33:42
Speaker 21: is that she's unhappy. She's doing whatever she can to
33:45
Speaker 21: stay relevant, but the people wanted to run, She's not
33:47
Speaker 21: going to run. So she's kind of stuck in this
33:50
Speaker 21: in between zone of what does she want to do?
33:52
Speaker 21: What is it going to be her identity other than being,
33:55
Speaker 21: you know, the former first Lady. So she's kind of
33:57
Speaker 21: grasping a straw. She's not as talented as people probably thought,
34:00
Speaker 21: and nobody's listening to her podcast. There's trouble at home.
34:03
Speaker 21: So the future for Michelle Obama, I imagine it is
34:06
Speaker 21: going to be a tough road ahead, and I don't
34:09
Speaker 21: think we're ever going to get actually any transparency. I
34:11
Speaker 21: think that they could totally be divorced Rita and they
34:14
Speaker 21: would never publicly stated, at least not for a while.
34:16
Speaker 21: They'll just live one will be in Hawaii and one
34:18
Speaker 21: will be in Martha's vineyards. Because there are such phonies.
34:21
Speaker 21: I don't even think they would admit that they can't
34:23
Speaker 21: even make their relationship work.
34:27
Speaker 1: I tell you, I reckon. This podcast has been an
34:29
Speaker 1: enormous mistake. It's not only exposed how inpopular she is,
34:33
Speaker 1: because she's always had this image of being enormously popular,
34:37
Speaker 1: and that's been part of a appeal for the Democrats.
34:40
Speaker 1: She's always talked about as a future presidential candidate. But
34:43
Speaker 1: the numbers for this podcast are so woeful. But beyond
34:47
Speaker 1: that is she's become a figure of mockery because everything
34:51
Speaker 1: that seems to go viral from the podcast is material
34:56
Speaker 1: that sees her as the butt.
34:58
Speaker 5: Of jokes because She wines and wines and wines.
35:02
Speaker 1: She never has anything happy to say, and very little
35:05
Speaker 1: that's interesting. That's the other thing that she's not a
35:08
Speaker 1: very compelling character. Now I want to ask you about
35:11
Speaker 1: the tariff war. There were reports that Amazon was going
35:15
Speaker 1: to list the tariff on items on its website.
35:19
Speaker 22: It was reported this morning that Amazon will soon display
35:23
Speaker 22: a little number next to the price of each product
35:25
Speaker 22: that shows how much the Trump tariffs are adding to
35:29
Speaker 22: the cost of each product. So isn't that a perfect
35:32
Speaker 22: crystal clear demonstration that it's the American consumer and not
35:36
Speaker 22: China who is going to have to pay for these policies.
35:39
Speaker 1: But alex Amazon is denying these reports. They're denying that
35:43
Speaker 1: they plan to display prices showing the tariff's impact on
35:47
Speaker 1: Amazon dot Com. I don't know if this has anything
35:50
Speaker 1: to do with a two percent drop in Amazon's share
35:53
Speaker 1: price after the White House call. The reports of this
35:56
Speaker 1: pricing plan a hostile and political act.
36:00
Speaker 5: What do you make of this?
36:02
Speaker 1: Did they do a U turn on this policy when
36:05
Speaker 1: they saw the backlash or was it always fake news?
36:10
Speaker 21: Well? I hope it was always fake news, because after
36:12
Speaker 21: Jeff Bezos' disaster, you know, sending Lauren Sanchez. It's a
36:16
Speaker 21: space I mean, he just wasted all of his money
36:18
Speaker 21: basically sending you know, let's be real, a bunch of
36:22
Speaker 21: untalented I guess Katy Perry is a little bit of talent,
36:25
Speaker 21: but not astronauts. None of those women were astronauts.
36:27
Speaker 8: He sent them all into space.
36:28
Speaker 21: So I think that was actually not received as well
36:31
Speaker 21: as they expected, and a lot of people thought that
36:33
Speaker 21: was a way, So I think for their public relations
36:36
Speaker 21: it cannot add this terriffic. Mag's already upset they sent
36:40
Speaker 21: Katy Perry up there. He needs to try to appease
36:42
Speaker 21: the American people, and these tariffs are unfortunate, but it's
36:45
Speaker 21: just a necessary evil at this point.
36:49
Speaker 1: Well, he has done a great deal of harm to
36:51
Speaker 1: the credibility in the image of those women. Katy Perry
36:55
Speaker 1: is now being mocked widely. Is just having trouble moving
36:58
Speaker 1: tickets for a concert, and I'm saying of her concert
37:00
Speaker 1: to our being mocked mercilessly. Gail King is also being
37:07
Speaker 1: ridiculed online. It's one of the biggest PR disasters in
37:12
Speaker 1: recent years, that little space expedition.
37:18
Speaker 21: Well, and you know, it's not about the women. I
37:20
Speaker 21: think people want women to go into space. But it
37:22
Speaker 21: was just the women that they chose. I mean Lauren
37:24
Speaker 21: Sanchez because she's dating Jeff Bezos, she gets to be
37:26
Speaker 21: one of the women that goes up there. And you know,
37:29
Speaker 21: it's just this is what we get. There's people that
37:32
Speaker 21: are starving out there, the middle classes literally shrinking every
37:35
Speaker 21: single second, and the billionaire elites are more interested in
37:38
Speaker 21: sending their girlfriends up to space than actually helping the
37:41
Speaker 21: American people. So I'm happy that Elon Musk is using
37:44
Speaker 21: his billionaire power to give us some more government transparency.
37:47
Speaker 21: Some of these guys need to use their power for
37:48
Speaker 21: good and not wasting, you know, rocket fuel to send
37:52
Speaker 21: these women into space. That Let's be real, Katy Perry
37:55
Speaker 21: doesn't know what to do in space. What are they
37:56
Speaker 21: testing ozimpic and zero G silicone and zero G gravity.
38:00
Speaker 13: They don't need this. It's a waste reading this.
38:04
Speaker 1: Well, if they actually did those tests, it could have
38:06
Speaker 1: been a worthwhile exerciser.
38:08
Speaker 5: Alex Stein, always a.
38:09
Speaker 13: Pleasure, Thank you reader.
38:12
Speaker 5: Still to come, we'll.
38:12
Speaker 1: Discuss the first hundred days of Donald Trump's second term.
38:16
Speaker 5: Corey DeAngelis joins me.
38:18
Speaker 7: Next.
38:28
Speaker 5: Welcome back.
38:29
Speaker 1: Now, President Donald Trump is touted the first one hundred
38:32
Speaker 1: days of his second term as the most successful of
38:35
Speaker 1: any administration. Speaking at the Michigan National Guard, the President
38:40
Speaker 1: also spoke about the enormous boost in the number of
38:42
Speaker 1: Americans wanting to join the armed forces since his election
38:46
Speaker 1: tribe last November.
38:48
Speaker 17: Since November, enlistment numbers for every branch of the armed
38:52
Speaker 17: forces have surged. Recruitment is now the highest it's been
38:56
Speaker 17: in thirty nine years. This goes not only for the
38:59
Speaker 17: armed forces, for the police, for firemen. People are proud
39:03
Speaker 17: of our country again, big difference. But we had the
39:06
Speaker 17: worst numbers that we've ever had. Virtually we couldn't get anybody,
39:10
Speaker 17: and now we're overstocked. We have waiting lists of people
39:13
Speaker 17: wanting to sign up and be with the military. They're
39:16
Speaker 17: proud of our country again. And I'll be supporting a
39:20
Speaker 17: record setting one trillion dollar investment in our national defense.
39:23
Speaker 17: We're going to go one trillion dollars, the largest in
39:26
Speaker 17: the world, largest ever.
39:28
Speaker 5: One trillion dollars.
39:29
Speaker 1: Joining me now as American Culture Project Senior fellow and
39:32
Speaker 1: school choice advocate Corey DeAngelis, Corey has been an extraordinary
39:38
Speaker 1: hundred days. The President has set a furious pace. It's
39:43
Speaker 1: been called a counter revolution. And one of the early
39:46
Speaker 1: signs of this was the boost in recruitment numbers. Institutions
39:51
Speaker 1: that were struggling to find recruits, the military, the FBI,
39:55
Speaker 1: the police force, they're now flooded with applications.
39:59
Speaker 5: Why do you I think that is.
40:02
Speaker 7: Well.
40:03
Speaker 23: The Trump administration inspires confidence. The American First agenda is
40:07
Speaker 23: popular with the American public, and Trump just makes people
40:11
Speaker 23: feel proud to be venom again.
40:13
Speaker 8: This is the golden age.
40:14
Speaker 23: Of America in education and throughout the rest of the
40:18
Speaker 23: country as well. Pete Hegseat is a great leader. He
40:20
Speaker 23: was chosen to be the Secretary of Defense. So when
40:24
Speaker 23: you have people that are proud of their country, when
40:27
Speaker 23: you don't have DEI ideology infesting all the institutions, become
40:33
Speaker 23: proud of those institutions. Again, it's based on merit, and
40:36
Speaker 23: so when you become a soldier, you're happy to be
40:39
Speaker 23: there and you want to brag about it to your colleagues.
40:42
Speaker 23: I saw this in the I do education work. When
40:44
Speaker 23: people first heard that Trump won election in a landslide
40:48
Speaker 23: in November, they're calling me asking how can I be
40:52
Speaker 23: out of this? I want to be in the Trump administration.
40:54
Speaker 23: I want to the Department of Education and try to
40:57
Speaker 23: dismantle it from within. And this is like unlike anything
41:00
Speaker 23: I've ever seen before. So there's just more of the
41:02
Speaker 23: momentum continue throughout that one hundred days.
41:07
Speaker 1: Well, we're going to talk about the Department of Education shortly,
41:11
Speaker 1: but let's focus on lawfare for a second. We saw
41:15
Speaker 1: plenty of lawfare in the lead up to the election
41:18
Speaker 1: and really has not stopped since. The efforts to frustrate
41:21
Speaker 1: every Trump policy, particularly the deportation program, is in full swing.
41:27
Speaker 1: Democrat appointed activist judges have been particularly active. Late last week,
41:32
Speaker 1: we had Judge William Morrick of the US District Court
41:35
Speaker 1: for the Northern District of California issuing a ruling stating
41:39
Speaker 1: President Trump's executive orders against sanctuary cities. He said they
41:44
Speaker 1: were unconstitutional. He blocked the Trump administration from cutting funding
41:48
Speaker 1: to sanctuary cities. Now Fox News reports this particular judge,
41:53
Speaker 1: this Obama appointed judge, has deep financial ties to the
41:58
Speaker 1: Democratic Party, has spoken and events in support of Kamala
42:02
Speaker 1: Harris and Barack Obama, and he's even held.
42:05
Speaker 5: Leadership roles on committees to.
42:08
Speaker 1: Help elect Obama and John Kerry and let's before I
42:13
Speaker 1: get your response, let's have a look at how bad
42:15
Speaker 1: the situation is in California.
42:17
Speaker 12: Just how many accused criminal migrants are in sanctuary jurisdictions
42:22
Speaker 12: that have been released onto the streets. All these are
42:25
Speaker 12: sanctuary cities Virginia, but at the very top, and I
42:28
Speaker 12: think this tells a telling stories detainers rejected locally thirteen
42:35
Speaker 12: thousand for the entire state of California.
42:38
Speaker 7: Corey.
42:39
Speaker 1: It seems mad, but Californians keep voting for this lawlessness.
42:45
Speaker 23: Yeah, and in some cases s even worse than that,
42:48
Speaker 23: where you have judicial activism at its worst from judge
42:52
Speaker 23: or giving over one hundred thousand dollars to Democrat politicians
42:57
Speaker 23: like Obama Hillary Clinton. And we'd hope that judges would
43:01
Speaker 23: be non biased, nonpartisan, but the reality is sometimes they
43:05
Speaker 23: are less accountable than elected officials because they're appointed and
43:10
Speaker 23: if they go against the will of the people, you
43:12
Speaker 23: can't kick them out of office. So it's a huge problem.
43:15
Speaker 23: We see this with school choice programs too. We had
43:17
Speaker 23: an activist judge in West Virginia to stop a school
43:23
Speaker 23: choice program a couple of years ago. She was funded
43:25
Speaker 23: by the teachers unions previously endorsed by the teachers unions.
43:29
Speaker 23: And now you know, in some cases it has to
43:32
Speaker 23: get You have to ask yourself, how bad does it
43:34
Speaker 23: have to get before things change. California has hit rock bottom,
43:39
Speaker 23: and at some point the voters have to figure these
43:41
Speaker 23: things out and see that the GOP Trump's party is
43:45
Speaker 23: leading the way towards prosperity and freedom. And so hopefully
43:49
Speaker 23: the more of this judicial activism, the more that California
43:53
Speaker 23: keeps electing these politicians who are authoritarians who want to
43:57
Speaker 23: control your lives, at some point they're going to reverse
44:00
Speaker 23: force and maybe they'll start backpeddling, or some point Republicans
44:05
Speaker 23: will start to win worses.
44:09
Speaker 1: Now, let's look at the US Department of Education. Their
44:13
Speaker 1: Office for Civil Rights is launch an investigation into Chicago
44:18
Speaker 1: Public schools for an academic achievement initiative called a Black
44:22
Speaker 1: Students Success Plan that discriminates on the basis of race.
44:27
Speaker 5: Well, it's kind of in the name, isn't it. Corey,
44:29
Speaker 5: tell me what's the latest on this.
44:33
Speaker 23: It's a trogious it's a direct violation of Article six
44:37
Speaker 23: of the Civil Rights Act in the United States. And look,
44:41
Speaker 23: they're discriminating on the basis of race. That's school system's
44:43
Speaker 23: failing kids of all different backgrounds, Black, white, Hispanic, and
44:47
Speaker 23: so on and so forth. They should try to improve
44:50
Speaker 23: outcomes for everybody and not single out one group. That
44:53
Speaker 23: is a clear violation of civil rights law. And hopefully
44:58
Speaker 23: they should lose their funding over the this issue, or
45:01
Speaker 23: hopefully they can reverse course and try to up their
45:05
Speaker 23: game and raise the bar for all students. But in
45:08
Speaker 23: Chicago you have six percent of black kids that are
45:12
Speaker 23: reading proficiently. I mean, it's a failure factory of a system,
45:16
Speaker 23: and they're spending thirty dollars per yet per year. Things
45:20
Speaker 23: need to change. School choice would provide some competition for improvement.
45:27
Speaker 1: Well, Chicago is really an example of what not to do, because,
45:31
Speaker 1: as you said, they are spending an enormous amount per student.
45:35
Speaker 5: And the results are abysmal.
45:39
Speaker 1: It really is hard to see how you could have
45:42
Speaker 1: results that are so appalling given the expenditure, giving the
45:48
Speaker 1: programs that they've supposedly have come out to address this issue.
45:53
Speaker 1: And yeah, if you want to do well academically, do
45:56
Speaker 1: the opposite off Chicago. Now, you wrote a piece in
46:01
Speaker 1: the National Review about the battleful school choice, particularly when
46:05
Speaker 1: it comes to rural families. You say they want educational
46:10
Speaker 1: freedom and they're voting for it at the ballot box.
46:13
Speaker 5: Tell me why this battle matters.
46:17
Speaker 12: Yeah.
46:17
Speaker 23: For a long time, the tears unions knew they couldn't
46:20
Speaker 23: make let leaning arguments Democrat arguments in red states. They
46:25
Speaker 23: had to come up with some so called conservative arguments
46:29
Speaker 23: to stop school choice, and one of them, including my
46:31
Speaker 23: home state of Texas, was that rural voters don't want this.
46:34
Speaker 23: We don't have a lot of private schools in rural areas.
46:37
Speaker 23: The public schools the only option, and therefore it's okay
46:41
Speaker 23: for you to vote with the Democrats.
46:43
Speaker 5: But the oldest.
46:44
Speaker 23: Voucher programs in the United States started over one hundred
46:47
Speaker 23: and fifty year old in places like Maine in Vermont,
46:50
Speaker 23: where they were specifically designed for kids in rural areas.
46:54
Speaker 23: They figured out, if you don't have a lot of choices,
46:56
Speaker 23: a lot of opportunities, that's an argument to expand freedom
47:00
Speaker 23: an education, not to restrict this. So they gave scholarships
47:03
Speaker 23: to kids to go to private schools that they wanted.
47:06
Speaker 23: And the victories this year prove it too that rural
47:09
Speaker 23: voters want school choice. They voted out the rhinos in
47:14
Speaker 23: office who voted against their party platform, who voted with
47:17
Speaker 23: the Democrats, they held them accountable at the ballot box.
47:20
Speaker 23: And now you have states like Texas who went all
47:23
Speaker 23: in on school choice, Tennessee, Wyoming, and so on and
47:27
Speaker 23: so forth. Rural areas are passing school choice left and
47:30
Speaker 23: right in the United States, which really just debunks the
47:33
Speaker 23: claim that rural voters don't want this. They absolutely do.
47:38
Speaker 1: It's a huge it's a huge issue, and I've seen
47:40
Speaker 1: that on the ground in the US. Is an issue
47:43
Speaker 1: that really gets people motivated. Even people who weren't particularly
47:48
Speaker 1: politically active in the past will do this because it's
47:52
Speaker 1: in the interest of their children. It has an enormous
47:54
Speaker 1: impact on the children's future prospects. Corey DeAngelis, you've done
47:59
Speaker 1: great working area. Thanks for your time tonight, and.
48:02
Speaker 5: That's it for me. I'll see you at eleven tomorrow night.
48:05
Speaker 5: Newsnight is up next.
