  Speaker 2: This is the Reader Panalty Show.

  Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Reader Panety Show.
• 0:11
  Speaker 4: Coming up tonight, Australia's economic woes may be worse than
• 0:15
  Speaker 4: you think.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Are we headed for stagflation?
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: The panel will join me shortly to discuss the dangerous
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: spread of pro Iranian regime metric in Australia. I'll speak
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: to a local counselor who went to a rally and
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: was shocked by what she saw. In Horowitz will have
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: the latest from the US, including President Trump putting a
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: deadline on the war against Iran, and later in the
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: hour of Across to Michael Lufts for royal and entertainment news,
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: including the shocking story of Christy Nolmes's husband being exposed
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: as a cross dresser. Plus we never forget Left is
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: Losing It Tonight. Actress Leslie Jones tells young women that
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: marriage is slavery.
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: I think marriage is legalized slavery.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: I don't know how you do.
• 1:01
  Speaker 6: Man, if his specialgy expecting you to be a trad
• 1:04
  Speaker 6: wave is might as well pull out.
• 1:05
  Speaker 7: A whip.
• 1:07
  Speaker 8: In a chain.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: But first, former Treasury Secretary Martin Parkinson has worn that
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: Australia's economic woes may see us head into a period
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: of stagflation. That's the worst of both worlds. You've got
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: high in employment and high inflation. Speaking to the National
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Press Club earlier today, Martin Parkinson said, we need to
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: incentivize innovation and investment to raise the speed limits on
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: our growth rate. And we need a larger working age
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: population or a far more productive working age population. We
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: need a broader tax base, we've better targeted, more efficient taxes,
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: or we need to cut expenditure to deliver a more
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: sustainable fiscal position. Joining me now is the Institute of
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: Public Affairs chief economists Adam Kristen and Menzi's Research Center
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: senior fellow Nick Keta.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Adam, do you agree there with Martin Parkinson's comments?
• 2:02
  Speaker 9: Well, look, generally I do agree we do need changes
• 2:05
  Speaker 9: at the federal level.
• 2:06
  Speaker 8: Clearly he was rather vague on what we need.
• 2:08
  Speaker 9: He said, we need a more efficient tax systemor who
• 2:10
  Speaker 9: would disgree with that?
• 2:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 2:11
  Speaker 8: The thing that stuck out was the larger working age population.
• 2:14
  Speaker 9: To me, so that was a signal that he supports
• 2:18
  Speaker 9: very rapid immigration. I think when you know, we could
• 2:21
  Speaker 9: deal with that without having massive immigration. For instance, the
• 2:23
  Speaker 9: over sixty fives can't work when they're on the pension.
• 2:25
  Speaker 9: If they do work, they lose the pension. Millions of
• 2:28
  Speaker 9: people there who could work part time.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Then he's talking about a broader tax base, which makes
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: me think he wants to have even more people taxed,
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: well more often.
• 2:35
  Speaker 8: Probably does.
• 2:36
  Speaker 9: I mean, he's well associated with the Labour Party. He
• 2:38
  Speaker 9: was Treasury secretary largely when they were in charge, so
• 2:42
  Speaker 9: you know it's you know, the sentiment's fine, but he
• 2:45
  Speaker 9: was vague, and I think the reality is we're just
• 2:47
  Speaker 9: going to get more tax increases from the government, not
• 2:49
  Speaker 9: not spending cuts, which to his credit, he did mention
• 2:51
  Speaker 9: at the end.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: He did mention spending cuts. It was about the only
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: sensible thing I saw there. There was a lot of
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: motherhood statements like you said that really didn't have much detail.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: Nick the Labor Party and fiscal responsibility, they're not terms
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: one normally throws together. Is it in Labour's DNA to
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: make the cuts that you really need to make to
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: slash inflation and to get our deficit under control as well?
• 3:19
  Speaker 10: It used to be in their DNA, but I think
• 3:21
  Speaker 10: it's kind of been bred out over the years, they're
• 3:24
  Speaker 10: not interested in cutting at all. And I agree with Adam.
• 3:27
  Speaker 10: I mean, I think Martin Parkinson is right. You know,
• 3:30
  Speaker 10: it's a motherhood statement. Yes we need tax reform, but
• 3:33
  Speaker 10: the trouble with labor is you know that the only
• 3:35
  Speaker 10: tax reform they're capable of doing is increasing the overall
• 3:39
  Speaker 10: tax take, Whereas I don't think tax reform is worth
• 3:43
  Speaker 10: the paper it's written on unless it actually reduces the
• 3:45
  Speaker 10: amount of money they take. But we got away from
• 3:48
  Speaker 10: this point that was hammered home to us back in
• 3:51
  Speaker 10: the days of Howard and Costello that unless we have
• 3:54
  Speaker 10: a strong budget, unless we keep spending within sensible limits,
• 4:00
  Speaker 10: then everything else we would like to do, whether it's
• 4:03
  Speaker 10: green energy or whatever you fancy thing is is impossible.
• 4:06
  Speaker 10: I mean, we just cannot defense. We cannot do these
• 4:09
  Speaker 10: things unless we've got the money. We really do need
• 4:12
  Speaker 10: a return to some sort of fiscal discipline. And I
• 4:15
  Speaker 10: there's so many, so few people in Parliament, and certainly
• 4:18
  Speaker 10: almost nobody in the gallery, in the gallery at the
• 4:21
  Speaker 10: Camera House that even seem to care about this anymore.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: You talk about fiscal discipline, well, Treasurer Jim Chalmers is
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: reportedly considering increasing spending in the federal budget to alleviate
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: the impact from.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: The Iran War.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Former New South Wales Premier Mike Bird has labeled next
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: month's budget as the most important in recent memory, and
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: he has warned that Australia's status as a load debt
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: country was over. This is what Mike bed told Sky
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: News earlier today.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Every single decision and as you put a budget together,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: you have to look how is what impact is it
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: having in the longer term. You know, it's okay to
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: do the budget this year, but what spending decisions are
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: you making and how does that play out. I think
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: that every budget should have a ten year projection and
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: you can see year to year as that ten year
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: projection remains there for front and center. It gives you
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: a capacity, the community, a capacity to understand the decision
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: we're making today, aren't making it worse.
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: For the future.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: Nick at a time when the Treasurer should be slashing
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: red tape, getting out of the wave industry and cutting spending,
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: is considering doing the opposite.
• 5:37
  Speaker 10: Yeah, none of that. This government is just not geared
• 5:41
  Speaker 10: up for doing anything remarkably even remotely sensible on the
• 5:45
  Speaker 10: economic front. And one thing they need is a finance minister.
• 5:50
  Speaker 10: They used to have a finance minister. The finance minister's
• 5:52
  Speaker 10: job is to keep the government spending within its budget
• 5:57
  Speaker 10: and to make sure that spending is being spent. Well,
• 6:00
  Speaker 10: they don't have a finance minister at all. They have KD. Gallagher,
• 6:04
  Speaker 10: who doesn't seem interested in that side of things. I
• 6:06
  Speaker 10: think a strong finance minister would be really important.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Adam, you're an economist, what would your sage advice be
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: to the Treasurer who's considering measures like slashing the capital
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: gains tax discount which will only make the housing crisis worse.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: It will make it more difficult for renters to be
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: able to affward a roof over their head because all
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: the investors are going to find somewhere else to put
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: their money.
• 6:35
  Speaker 9: Well, certainly that's right, and just on the capital gains
• 6:37
  Speaker 9: tax discount. I actually did some research on that recently,
• 6:39
  Speaker 9: and everyone thinks it's some huge discount from the last
• 6:42
  Speaker 9: regime that we had till nine nine nine, But actually,
• 6:44
  Speaker 9: in many cases is not a discount at all, because
• 6:46
  Speaker 9: you're still paying tax on inflation, whereas in the old
• 6:48
  Speaker 9: system their cost was index with inflation. So in many cases,
• 6:52
  Speaker 9: it was not a discount, so if they slash it,
• 6:53
  Speaker 9: it's going to.
• 6:54
  Speaker 8: Be even worse.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: It's doubling up the tax and it's.
• 6:57
  Speaker 9: Just going to mean people will not sell their assets
• 6:59
  Speaker 9: at all, they will die with them, they'll pass them
• 7:00
  Speaker 9: on and they just won't pay tack.
• 7:01
  Speaker 8: So it'll make situation worse. On the debt situation, look.
• 7:04
  Speaker 9: I mean, Mike Bird is right, we are no longer
• 7:06
  Speaker 9: a low debt nation. Of course, you've got to add
• 7:09
  Speaker 9: the state debt to the federal and everyone talks about
• 7:11
  Speaker 9: the trillion dollars, but if you add the states up,
• 7:13
  Speaker 9: you're looking at seven hundred billion dollars there, so almost
• 7:15
  Speaker 9: the same.
• 7:16
  Speaker 8: You've got to add them. And that's you know, it's.
• 7:19
  Speaker 9: Really quite concerning because you know, we're not a big
• 7:21
  Speaker 9: economy like the US.
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: We can't go to debt as one hundred percent of GDP.
• 7:24
  Speaker 9: Right, we're about fifty sixty at the moment, but it's
• 7:27
  Speaker 9: rising rapidly and unfortunately the political cycle, largely combined with
• 7:31
  Speaker 9: the Labor Party's instincts, means that they don't really care
• 7:33
  Speaker 9: about cutting spending. It's all about winning the next election.
• 7:36
  Speaker 9: It's all about there being no losers can't have losers,
• 7:38
  Speaker 9: can only have winners.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Well, you're going to have losers. The lifters could be losers,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: but the leaners could lose.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: Lean In now billionaire because Ramball has warned that the
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: ongoing conflict in Iran has exposed how unprepared Australia is
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: for global disruptions. The founding chairman and managing director of
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: Herdermann Group said, everyone knows that Australia is not self
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: reliant and that's the honest truth if you ask me,
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: in the Southern Hemisphere we are the most exposed country.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: We don't manufacture anything at Adam. This is all.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Self inflicted harm. This is the result of policies enacted
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: by successive governments where we have outsourced our manufacturing and
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: become so reliant on other countries.
• 8:26
  Speaker 8: Yeah, look, that's right. Australia's had very high wages for a.
• 8:29
  Speaker 9: Long time, but we also had cheap energy and so
• 8:31
  Speaker 9: that enabled us to have relatively thriving manufacturing centertory of
• 8:35
  Speaker 9: the eighties and nineties, especially in Victoria. This date, we
• 8:38
  Speaker 9: now have extremely high both both energy costs and wages,
• 8:41
  Speaker 9: so of course we've lost it and indeed through the OECD.
• 8:43
  Speaker 9: Forget the Southern Hemisphere. The OECD in total thirty four countries.
• 8:47
  Speaker 9: We have the lowest share of the workforce involved in manufacturing.
• 8:50
  Speaker 8: It's about five percent.
• 8:51
  Speaker 9: It was seventeen percent about twenty five years ago, so
• 8:54
  Speaker 9: it's a huge decline.
• 8:55
  Speaker 8: You know, five percent is embarrassing.
• 8:57
  Speaker 9: And when a war comes along with the prospect of
• 8:58
  Speaker 9: a war, everyone thinks, oh god, you know, we actually
• 9:01
  Speaker 9: can't make anything if we had to, so it is
• 9:03
  Speaker 9: a crisis.
• 9:04
  Speaker 8: He's right to point that out, but very hard to rectify.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Nick.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: I think this has been a wake up call to
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: so many people about just how exposed we are, how
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: unprepared we are, and relatively we're.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Talking about a small conflict.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, if there was a major war that went on
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: for several years, how would that leave Australia When we
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: are so reliant on other countries for our energy needs
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: and other needs as well. When you look at how
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: little manufacturing we do in this country.
• 9:36
  Speaker 10: It's frightening.
• 9:37
  Speaker 9: Region.
• 9:37
  Speaker 10: We don't even have a merchant fleet anymore, by the way,
• 9:39
  Speaker 10: so we haven't got any ships that we own. We
• 9:42
  Speaker 10: own to carry this stuff into Australia. But we've really
• 9:45
  Speaker 10: been exposed I mean, I would have thought we would
• 9:47
  Speaker 10: have made some progress after COVID that was supposed to
• 9:49
  Speaker 10: be the wake up call. How many wake up calls
• 9:52
  Speaker 10: do we need readom before we get this? But yeah,
• 9:54
  Speaker 10: we really are struggling. Even the future made in Australia.
• 9:58
  Speaker 10: Wasn't that Anthney Albani his great catch cry he was
• 10:01
  Speaker 10: going to make green hydrogen. Forget the green hydrogen? What
• 10:04
  Speaker 10: about making something we're actually need like PBC tubing or fertilizer.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Now let's come to Victoria and the moreer deeming pre
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: selection saga is going to drag on for a lot longer.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: The Victorian Libs have invited challenges to nominate against the
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: sitting MP for her spot in the Upper House.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: This is, of course, after the.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: Man who ousted her, Dinnish Gurrissetti, was forced to withdraw
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: his candidacy after it was revealed that he provided a
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: character reference for a now convicted child sex offender Nick.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Why won't the Libs just offer more redeeming a fulsome
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: apology again, so the first time they've had to apologize
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: and install her as the candidate. Put an end to
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: this unseemly saga that exposes hash shambolic this party is
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: and has been for so many years.
• 11:02
  Speaker 10: I wish I could answer that question, Rita. But it's
• 11:04
  Speaker 10: one of those one of the great mysteries of life,
• 11:06
  Speaker 10: isn't it. Why does the Liberal Party in Victoria have
• 11:09
  Speaker 10: this sort of death wish. It's almost like self harm.
• 11:14
  Speaker 10: Every day they get up and think, how can we
• 11:16
  Speaker 10: harm our election chances? How can we make it even
• 11:19
  Speaker 10: more likely we have a labor government after the next election.
• 11:23
  Speaker 10: I really really don't understand it. I mean, I get
• 11:26
  Speaker 10: called on to Sky News to be asked about this stuff,
• 11:28
  Speaker 10: but you know, I could probably tell you more about
• 11:31
  Speaker 10: AFL football than I could tell you about liberal politics
• 11:34
  Speaker 10: in Victoria. But you know, it is crazy. They really,
• 11:39
  Speaker 10: you know, every time you think they have to just
• 11:42
  Speaker 10: really focus now on winning the next election and stop
• 11:45
  Speaker 10: all this other stuff, but then time and time again
• 11:48
  Speaker 10: they prove incapable of getting away from these factional games.
• 11:53
  Speaker 10: It's just so pointless.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: It really is. And more.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: A Deeming is taking a period of personal leave, Adam
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: who could blame her until after Easter, so it's not
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: a lengthy period. I've got to ask why would she
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: stick with this rabble who have so mistreated her. Why
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: not go to one of the at least three parties
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: who've approached her to run, including one Nation.
• 12:17
  Speaker 9: Well, surely she will, you know, that's the only logical
• 12:20
  Speaker 9: thing to do. I think she's been treated terribly, as
• 12:22
  Speaker 9: you say, not just in the last few days, but also.
• 12:25
  Speaker 8: You know the issue at hand with the defamation case.
• 12:28
  Speaker 9: You know, it's I think it's noble of her to
• 12:30
  Speaker 9: have gone through the pre selection. I think surely she
• 12:33
  Speaker 9: has in mind that she's going to leave.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know, she's very loyal to the party.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: I mean what she endured at the hands on top
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: of the party and the stress, the efforts she had
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: to go to clear her name after the party leader
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: attacked her for standing up for women. I can't imagine
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: too many others that would hang around just serve that party.
• 12:56
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that's right, and also one of Labour's attacks. Of
• 12:58
  Speaker 9: course it's wrong, but it's the liberal parties against women.
• 13:00
  Speaker 9: And then of course they've got rid of Maara doming
• 13:01
  Speaker 9: I mean, it just plays into that argument. So that's
• 13:04
  Speaker 9: another reason why silly. And also she's got great profile,
• 13:07
  Speaker 9: she's very well known. She'd be one of the best
• 13:08
  Speaker 9: known politicians in the state.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 13:10
  Speaker 8: That actually matters a lot when you're trying to get votes.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: She has fantastic cut through and she's one of the
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: few who can hold a fundraiser and sell it out.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: People want to pay to go along and hear her speak,
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: they want to support her.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: And the Libs I don't know.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: I don't know whether they're frightened orf her popularity, whether
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: they just ideologically opposed to someone who holds conservative values.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure what the problem is, but the way
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: they've treated this mother of four is absolutely appalling.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Now let's talk about the Fair Work.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: Commission scrapping junior pay rates for young adults aged eighteen
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: to twenty. But not everyone is thrilled about this news.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Employers have worn that this landmark decision will have a
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: devastating impact on businesses across the country, but that message
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: was lost on labor ministers, including Clara O'Neill, who is
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: thrilled by this news.
• 14:05
  Speaker 11: If you know any young workers at Cole's, Woolly's, Mackas
• 14:09
  Speaker 11: the Pharmacy, make sure you share this with them because
• 14:11
  Speaker 11: they might be about to get a massive pay rise
• 14:14
  Speaker 11: for some stupid reason. Australian workers age between eighteen and
• 14:18
  Speaker 11: twenty have been allowed to be paid at a discount rate. Now,
• 14:22
  Speaker 11: if you don't get discounts on your bills, why should
• 14:24
  Speaker 11: you get paid less than other adult Australians? And the
• 14:27
  Speaker 11: Fair Work Commission agrees. They've just said that Australian's age
• 14:30
  Speaker 11: between eighteen and twenty could get a pay increase of
• 14:33
  Speaker 11: up to forty two percent.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: Adam, you can tell these labor ministers have never run
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: a business. I'd suggest there are a couple of good
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: reasons why juniors get paid less than say, someone in
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: their thirties.
• 14:46
  Speaker 9: Yeah, certainly that's true. They're not as experienced obviously. But
• 14:49
  Speaker 9: the first thing that occurred to me is I just
• 14:51
  Speaker 9: spent four years in the US and over there I
• 14:53
  Speaker 9: noticed as very few young people employed in bars or
• 14:55
  Speaker 9: fast food places and going to came back to Australia
• 14:57
  Speaker 9: and there's lots.
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: Yeah, realize why.
• 14:59
  Speaker 9: Is because of that gradation in the pay raids, and
• 15:01
  Speaker 9: it's an incentive for big companies to hire young people
• 15:04
  Speaker 9: to work for them, and they do and it gives them,
• 15:07
  Speaker 9: you know, a step up into the workforce that they're
• 15:09
  Speaker 9: now not going to get.
• 15:10
  Speaker 8: In fact, you know.
• 15:11
  Speaker 9: She's crying about tell them how great it is, so
• 15:13
  Speaker 9: some of them just won't be hid anymore.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: Again, that is a point that seems to be fairly
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: obvious Nick, but it's lost on labor. What do you
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: make of this decision by the Fair Work Commission?
• 15:24
  Speaker 10: Clara O'Neil seems to think this is all down to
• 15:26
  Speaker 10: mean employers are just keeping their money in their pockets. So,
• 15:30
  Speaker 10: I mean, anybody who talk to anybody in catering and
• 15:33
  Speaker 10: hospitality in particular right now, but retail too, will tell
• 15:37
  Speaker 10: you that the margins are very slim. You know, they've
• 15:39
  Speaker 10: got the penalty rates on a Sunday and the double
• 15:42
  Speaker 10: and triple penalty rates on an Easter Monday or whatever.
• 15:46
  Speaker 10: They can't afford to pay higher rates. Adam's right. I
• 15:49
  Speaker 10: mean you're learning the trade, aren't You're learning how to
• 15:53
  Speaker 10: be in a workforce, which is a skill in itself
• 15:55
  Speaker 10: when you're between eighteen and twenty. And what it will
• 15:59
  Speaker 10: mean inevitably, you know, as Adam Rightley points it points out,
• 16:02
  Speaker 10: is fewer jobs for young people. So is that what
• 16:06
  Speaker 10: we want? We want more of them be sitting around
• 16:08
  Speaker 10: on the couch or do we actually want them out
• 16:10
  Speaker 10: there getting some experience?
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: Yep, Those lower pay rates are a way to get
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: a foot in the door when you're a junior, when
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: we're eighteen and nineteen and have no experience.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: Adam, krist and Nicota, thank you so much for your time.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: My next guest is a counselor for the City of Rides.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: She's also a Kurdish Iranian who attended a pro Uranian
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: regime rally in Auburn, New South Wales.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: She posted this video about what she saw.
• 16:37
  Speaker 12: It was advertised as a end to war gathering. However,
• 16:42
  Speaker 12: while I was there, there was talk about.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're the only country that you complete militarily and
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: economically with the.
• 16:50
  Speaker 12: West, and there was a very ironic mention of indigenous people.
• 16:58
  Speaker 13: I acknowledge story.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: You know, custodians of this land.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: Lever see them in that clip that chanting death to
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: Iranians fighting for freedom and doing that on Australian soil.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: Please to welcome Tino Kudrostami to the program.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: China. Tell me why you attended this.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: Rally and are you shocked that we have people in
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: this country chanting death to the enemies of the Iranian regime.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: I attended because I'm also a activist.
• 17:29
  Speaker 12: I've been advocating against the regime for a very long
• 17:32
  Speaker 12: time now, and I need to be informed about what's
• 17:35
  Speaker 12: happening and what isn't. Someone needs to be on the
• 17:38
  Speaker 12: ground documenting, no matter how uncomfortable it is. I am
• 17:43
  Speaker 12: not shocked unfortunately as to what I saw.
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: Or what I heard.
• 17:48
  Speaker 12: The reason I was there was so that I could
• 17:50
  Speaker 12: understand exactly what propaganda is being spread to our Australians
• 17:55
  Speaker 12: and I was able to document this.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: Well, you talk about the victim narrative of the Iranian
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: regime which was spreading around the world. Now tell me
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: about that, because people are falling for that propaganda.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: Well, here's the thing.
• 18:15
  Speaker 12: Authoritarian systems, they don't just control people, they also change
• 18:20
  Speaker 12: the language, they change the narrative which has been spread
• 18:24
  Speaker 12: from such systems. And unfortunately people are just eating this up.
• 18:28
  Speaker 12: It's us when we refuse to critique power, you know,
• 18:32
  Speaker 12: because of this victim narrative, we enable new forms of control.
• 18:36
  Speaker 12: All of a sudden, coercion becomes a system of democracy.
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: And this is what I.
• 18:42
  Speaker 12: Actually heard when I was directly interviewing a few of
• 18:45
  Speaker 12: these pro Regimei protesters. I was playing dumb just to
• 18:51
  Speaker 12: understand what intel they're feeding our Aussies and I asked
• 18:56
  Speaker 12: some point black you know, I'm a Kurdish Iranian and
• 18:59
  Speaker 12: I know un hominy many Kurds have died, as many
• 19:03
  Speaker 12: other indigenous Iranians as well, and their response was they
• 19:08
  Speaker 12: probably deserved it. You know, it depends what they did.
• 19:11
  Speaker 12: Now we know Mastha, a Kurdish Iranian who died four
• 19:14
  Speaker 12: years ago at the hands of the regime, was just
• 19:16
  Speaker 12: a young girl who lost her life because her hair
• 19:18
  Speaker 12: was showing. So was she deserving of death?
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: I also asked.
• 19:23
  Speaker 12: Them, you know, why is Heja being forced onto people
• 19:27
  Speaker 12: within that country or why is Islam being forced and
• 19:30
  Speaker 12: they mentioned that these are the things that we have
• 19:32
  Speaker 12: lived with as Iranians for thousands of years, and we
• 19:35
  Speaker 12: have a democracy within Iran. So people aren't doing their research,
• 19:41
  Speaker 12: and they are in many ways ignorance unfortunately, or choosing
• 19:45
  Speaker 12: to turn a blind eye. Because if anyone truly believes
• 19:49
  Speaker 12: that the democratic state within the country of Iran, I
• 19:54
  Speaker 12: don't know how we can compete with that, to be honest, reader, is.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: Ignorance or is it pro anti Western sentiment? And that's
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: why they're siding with this regime because though they live
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: in the West. They hate Western civilization. You talked about
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: the non Iranians who attend these sorts of rallies. Tell
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: me about the mix in the crowd. Are they mainly
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: Australian born and bred people there or is it predominantly
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: people who've migrated, perhaps from the Middle East and yet
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: are pro Iranian regime.
• 20:35
  Speaker 12: I would say it was a good fifty to fifty mix.
• 20:40
  Speaker 12: There were a lot of Iranians there who have been
• 20:43
  Speaker 12: in Australia for about thirty years now, and when we
• 20:46
  Speaker 12: ask them why they chose to be in Australia if
• 20:49
  Speaker 12: they love Iran so much under the current dictatorship, they
• 20:52
  Speaker 12: mentioned that they pay their taxes and they deserve to
• 20:55
  Speaker 12: be here.
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: That was any response we received. The rest were.
• 21:01
  Speaker 12: Who weren't even able to understand simple questions when we
• 21:06
  Speaker 12: asked them about the signs they were carrying, or when
• 21:09
  Speaker 12: we asked them what they thought about, you know, certain
• 21:12
  Speaker 12: facts coming out of the country. And you know, I
• 21:16
  Speaker 12: will say this, I did know a few people there
• 21:21
  Speaker 12: as I used to be with the Greens Party and
• 21:23
  Speaker 12: I had to leave because of the party's position on Iran.
• 21:27
  Speaker 12: And those people who were there at the rally who
• 21:31
  Speaker 12: I used to even work with. They are very clear
• 21:35
  Speaker 12: about who this regime is because the Green's Party was,
• 21:39
  Speaker 12: you know, a massive supporter of the Iranian dice from
• 21:42
  Speaker 12: within Australia during the Master movement, the woman like Freedom movement.
• 21:46
  Speaker 12: So you're right, it isn't just ignorance. It is this
• 21:49
  Speaker 12: pushing of the anti imperialism narrative at the cost of
• 21:54
  Speaker 12: people dying, at the cost of people living in oppression.
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: And I really don't think how privileged people are to
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: be able to even have that position.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: Tina Quadrastrami, thank you so much for your time, really appreciated.
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: Thanks for having me still.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: To come and we take a look at the shocking
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: story of Christine Noames's husband being exposed as a cross dresser.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: Michael Loftus is up next.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: You're watching the Reader Paney Show and it's time for
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: Lefties losing it and we have to have our weekly
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: check in with the ladies of the view. Let's see
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: if this lot can go through a show without saying
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: something spectacularly stupid.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Did you see the rendition of the of the library
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: that he's building. Yes, it's a giant It looks like
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: a giant penis.
• 22:56
  Speaker 13: Oh, yeah, let me see that.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: It's just this giant thing.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: This looks like a modern building tower like millions others
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: you have seen around the world.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Maybe just a little bit pretty.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: But what we can see a penis Now they are
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: deranged on that program.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: We shouldn't be shocked. Here is Sunny Houstin.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: Suggesting that it's reckless to have children unless you make
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: over four hundred thousand dollars.
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: I think it's just really reckless to be suggesting that
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: people should have children when you now know in this
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: country there's this affordability crisis and for a two person household,
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: a married household, you need over four hundred thousand dollars
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: for child care, over four hundred thousand dollars. Most people
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: don't make over four hundred thousand dollars. So she's advocating
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: for people to be born into poverty, people not being
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: able to feed those children, people not being able to
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: educate those children, and people not being able to house
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: those children. At the same time when this government is
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: cutting all of the services.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: Deranged, arranged, I told you so unless you are rich,
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: earning over four hundred thousand dollars, and forget about having
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: a family, that would be reckless. And you can forget
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: about marriage too, because apparently that's tantamount to slavery if
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: you're a woman.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: Here is actress Leslie Jones.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: I think marriage is legalized slavery?
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: You do, yes, I do.
• 24:22
  Speaker 14: Say more because if I'm thinking about slavery and I'm
• 24:24
  Speaker 14: thinking about marriage, there are two different images that absolutely not.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: I don't think.
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: I don't know how you don't?
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: Man is if his specially he's expecting you to be
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: a trad wave, is might as well pull out a whip.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: And a chain.
• 24:40
  Speaker 14: Well, so there are young people watching who might be
• 24:43
  Speaker 14: wanting to get married, what would you say to them?
• 24:45
  Speaker 13: Don't don't get married?
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: No, okay, slavery. You know, I'm done with these crazy women.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: Let's check in with a dude pretending to be a woman.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: Maybe he's a little bit more sad. And you've got
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: to give Dylan Mulvainy some credit here. He has been
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: mocking womanhood or girlhood as he calls it, for four years.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: Now. How old are you?
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: I'm four years old.
• 25:16
  Speaker 13: You are the youngest person ever.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: You were the youngest time for an awful Now you
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: remember them affluent white female leftists, they're now protesting for
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: a ceasefire, protesting for the military action against the Islamist
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Iranian regime.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: To end. Here you have an Iranian woman trying.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: To impress upon an awful how evil this Iranian regime is.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: But the smug lefty doesn't hear a word.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: She's right, Iranians are asking for the box.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: What are you doing supporting a terrorist regime? Why are
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: you supporting a terrorist regime? I understand wanting is that.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: Having no rights to Mimi Iranian, I mean in prison
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: by that regime. Let's bring in documentary filmmaker and commentator
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: Armi Horowitz. Army, I gotta say that smug look on
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: that woman's face is maddening.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: The Iranian woman told her.
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: What that regime has done to her family, how she
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: may never see her father again, and the protest clearly
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: couldn't care less.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Now, of course, of course not. Do you think she
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: cares one whit that the entire and I mean the
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: entire Iranian diaspora is for this war and against the regime.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Of course she doesn't. This is all about, ultimately, not
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: about Iran, not about Palestine. When it comes to the
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Israeli conflict with the Palestinians. This is all about the
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: destruction and the burning down of the West, the destruction
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: of capitalism, self immolation, I dare say, self hatred. This
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: is what it really is about. It's not about that woman.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: It's about that, you know, the Iranian woman. But it's
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: about that white, older woman herself and what her thoughts are.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: It's why Queers for Palestine exists, right, That's the same
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: pathology that even though if they're like, being gay is
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: obviously one of the most fundamental concepts of your being,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: but you would rather support the people who are throwing
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: your people off of ruse and balconies to their deaths
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: because what's more important for them was the bigger endgame,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: the destruction of capitalism. And by the way, if you
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: mentioned those thirty two thousand Iranians who are slaughtered by
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: the regime, they're gonna look at you and say they
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: just die in the altar of socialism. That's how bad
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: it's gotten. And that's what really the game's about.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: Now on the war, President Donald Trump has offered a
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: new estimate for when the conflict will end. Is told
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: reporters earlier today that he expects American forces to leave
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: within two to three weeks, Army, what do you make
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: of that?
• 28:11
  Speaker 12: Yeah?
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Look, ultimately the president he also often speaks aspirationally, right,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: that's kind of what I think this is awesome? Does
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: he means two three weeks? Maybe? Maybe not? We're not sure, right. Look,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: I trust him to get the job done, okay, And
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: the timing matters less than what the achievement is going
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: to be. Okay, give you a sense. I mean, if
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: we stopped today, I got if you pulled out today,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: the world is exponentially better off today than it was
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: a month ago before the war started. Just so we're
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent clear of where we're at in this
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: stand now. All the people are talking about no exit strategy.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: There's not nonsense. We're already better off. Okay. And by
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: the way, just to give you a sense, like from
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: a data point standpoint, that we've been averaging last month
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: the war began, roughly three thousand targets being hit per week.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: So if he continue this for just three more weeks,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: that's almost ten thousand more targets. I don't think ten
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: thousand targets really exist out there for him to hit.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that timing kind of tracks with me. And
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: by the way, just to give you a sense of achievement, right,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: this is incredibly Look the Golf States, right, the golves
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: that are pushing the president to go further. They want
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: this war to continue.
• 29:30
  Speaker 13: This is a ward.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: So we understand what's going on that the chief ally
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: with the president is the state of Israel. If the
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Golf States are aligning with the State of Israel because
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: of they understand the threat that Iran has. And by
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: the way, just two years ago, okay, the Iranians were
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: CosIng up. I'm sorry, the Golf States were coosing up
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: with the Iranians because they thought that under Biden that
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: they left them standing in the wind, like okay, we're
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: alone this thing. We've got to show you to protect ourselves.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: That's how far we've moved. And that's how the world
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: has changed under President Trump as opposed to President Biden.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: Well, you mentioned the Biden years, and this gives you
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: indication where the Democrats are at the moment. Michigan's Democratic
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: Senate candidate Abdul l Said has told staffers he wanted
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: to avoid making a public statement about the assassination of
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: Ayatola Ali Komeni because there are a lot of people
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: in Dearborn who are sad about it. This is according
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: to the report by the Washington Free Beacon Army. The
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: Democrats have a problem. Yeah, and it's one that have
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: ignored for a long time. Most of the media has
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: ignored this issue as well.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: But when you've got.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: People very sad about the death of the Ayatola in Dearborn, Michigan,
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: then there's a problem.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: It's a massive problem.
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: Obviously.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: We've been saying this for years and now we're seeing
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: to come through. Look, yeah, Dear Michigan is the home
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: of the terrorists who smashes vehicle into a Jewish school
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: or to kill Jewish children, right, and you just came
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: out today that he did it. Shocking of shocks for Hezbollah,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: the terrorist organization Lebanon. And and and by the way,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: you know, again as bears repeating the media's portrayal of
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: this guy's motivations, we remember this, right, it's important, I
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: think to go over it again that he did this
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: because his family was killed in Lebanon. Oh yeah, his
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: brothers who were husband At agents who were targeted by
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Israel because they're trying to destroy this date of Israel. Yeah,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: those the guys at the media is trying to make sympathize.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: But this this thing, as I it is really again
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: about the Democratic Party and where they are. I think
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: it speaks more to them, maybe even than Debar Michigan,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: that he's the candidate that, by the way, is within
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: the margin of error. Just you know, he's not the
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: kind of fringe candidate. He's within the margin of error
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: to win this thing. I think it says wait a bit.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: And I can also stress enough that the language Key's
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: using is not only the language of the left, which
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: obviously it is. It's also the language of horseshoe rate,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: and it's also the language that you're wanting it. So
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: now we see this trafactor, this re legged stool come
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: together of our enemies right dictating the language of both
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: the hard left and the hard rate. It's very, very scary.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: It is now to a headline that is causing all
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: sorts of waves on social media and elsewhere. The Daily
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: Mail reports bullet the bullet used to kill Charlie Kirk
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: did not match the rifle allegedly used by suspect Tyler Robinson.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: This is according to new court filings. Army that headline
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: is perhaps a little misleading. What more can you tell
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: me about what we've found out about this case?
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: You know, Rita, I've always sawt you as a kind woman,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: and you just showed yourself. Misleading is not the word.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: It despicable, Okay, it's journalistic malpractice. Yeah, it's it's I
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: couldn't even believe it when I was first told that
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: this was the headline of that article that I had
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: to read it. Of course, look all the evidence, and
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: I mean all the evidence point to Robinson, right, the
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: DNA at evidence, the fact that he actually admitted that
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: he did this. What they did, they said, they said
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: that that the the Yeah, the bullet doesn't match the gun. Yeah,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: well that's because the bullet disintegrated, it fragmented, it didn't
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: It doesn't relate to any gun possible could They couldn't
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: get striations off that bullet. But they didn't give you
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: that context. They just gave you this misleading and journalistic
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: malpractice headline that would lead one to believe that this
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: is actual evidence that says that he didn't do it. Again,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: this is all pointing towards this conspiracy theory that we've
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: seen on the hard left and the hard right, giving
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: air to that. I can't believe they actually did that.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: It's like saying the lack of absence lack of evidence
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean lack of capability.
• 34:07
  Speaker 13: Right.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: It's like saying that a guy murdered somebody and he
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: admitted to the murder, but he dipped his hands and acid,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: so his fingerprints don't match the fingerprints that are having.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: That's exactly what it is. It's total and complete nonsense.
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: Now let's get back to the Democrats. And this is
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: another astonishing story. In the battle ground state of Pennsylvania.
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: The Democrats we drew a resolution to honor National Women's
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: Month after a Republican asked them what a woman is.
• 34:41
  Speaker 10: Man speaker of this amendment is very straightforward and clear.
• 34:44
  Speaker 13: It defines what a woman actually is because we do
• 34:47
  Speaker 13: know what that is.
• 34:48
  Speaker 8: Thank you.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: The resolution is temporarily over.
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, the Democrats could win the midterms in the
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: most massive landslide ever seen if that could.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: Just pretend to be normal. But they can't manage that,
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: can they.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: No, it is so incredibly revealing. Obviously, Yeah, no, they
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: can't be normal. By the way, they could have won
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: presidential election. Okay, not to the midterms. Election if they
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: were just normal, but that's not in their DNA. No,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: they have zero ability to understand what the electorate wants.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: It's why they've lost, It's why they'll I'm not saying
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: they're going to lose them in terms, are probably not
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: going to, but they will win it with a much
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: much larger margin. They've just moved away from this idiocy,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: but they simply can't do it.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: No.
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: Now, talking about crazy idiocy, I want to ask you
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: about California. I don't think Australians realize just how crazy
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: California is. It's what happens when Democrats control were every
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: level of government. And I mean told me about this
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: gubernatoral debate that was supposed to take place last week.
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: It was canceled the last minute because all the candidates
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: were white. What is wrong with your home state? Your
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: original home state?
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, look, this is absolutely extraordinary. It truly is tell
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: me my home state, but it's also my own modern
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: usc Yeah. They had a debate and they put the
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: criteria forward fin the way country that made sense, how
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: you pulled and off? They added how much money you
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: were able to raise to give you a sense of
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: who really is involved. In this race, and it turns
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: out that the top candidates were all white, and that
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: is not acceptable in California. What you can't have all
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: white candidates. I don't care if that's the criteria that
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: we allow. This can't be. But you know, I'm going
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: to take a little of a victory lap here Riada,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: if you don't mind. I don't know if you remember,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: but I told you that California was not necessarily lost. Okay,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: and you lacked at you lacked guess Okay, we'll get
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: you know. I'm just telling you. And the last two
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: polls that were done, the top two leading candidates are
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: the Republicans. Okay, that's what happened when the two biggest
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Democratic candidate you have running are known for banging a
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Chinese spy and a woman who can't keep anybody as
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: parvar staff because she has a toxic work environment.
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that would be the same woman who dumped a
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: panful of mashed potatoes on her ex husband's head at
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: some point. Her track record is frankly remarkable. Yes, you're
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: saying they got two Republicans as leading the polls, but
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: are they Republicans or are they Rhinos? Are they the
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: sort of Republicans that can get elected in California, but
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: anywhere else in the country they'd be pretty much considered Democrats.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: It were a big tent reader the Republican Party, the
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: big tent and all saw and that we don't need
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: purity task if not worth. But the Democrats are about
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: that's what they lose. We want people going to win.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: And yes, of course the Arable Army.
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: Before you go and ask you about Seapak. He was
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: in Texas this year. There a lot of Iranians there
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: that were there to hear the crown Prince speak, I
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: would imagine. But RFK Junior was also there and he
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: was asked about how his perceptions of President Trump changed
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: after he joined the administration. Of course he was a Democrat.
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: This is what he had to say.
• 38:32
  Speaker 7: Well, let me just say this, brudent Trump is exactly
• 38:35
  Speaker 7: the opposite of everything that I believed him to be.
• 38:40
  Speaker 7: I basically drank the kool aid that he was his
• 38:43
  Speaker 7: you know, bombassaic narcissists. I didn't read books, was ill informed,
• 38:48
  Speaker 7: and and then you know, now I know exactly the opposite.
• 38:53
  Speaker 7: He's the opposite of a narcissist. Season Ambath, you will
• 38:57
  Speaker 7: see that every time he talks about the Ukraine War.
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: Army also said that his father and his uncle would
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: be making the same sort of decisions Donald Trump is
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: making right now when it comes to Ukraine and Iran.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: Does that ring true to you?
• 39:17
  Speaker 12: So?
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Trump is not a bombastic narcissist? And I mean to
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: pose that question in the most loving way.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: Possible, Hami Horowitz, We always love your analysis.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: Thanks so much for your time.
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: Tonight, still to come, we take a look at the
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: shocking story of Christine Nolames's husband being exposed as a
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: cross stressor. Michael Loftus is up next. Welcome back.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: I've got to say this may be one of the
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: more bizarre stories we'll be covering on this program. Former
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Christine has broken her silence
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: after it was revealed that her husband, Brian Nome, is
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: a cross stresser with a liking for oversized fake breasts
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: and tight fitting miniskirts or shorts. There In a statement
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: release to The New York Post, nomes Camp said Missnome
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: is devastated, the family was blindsided by this and they
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: ask for privacy and prayers at this time.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: Joining me now is writer, comedian, and editor of.
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: The loftisparty dot com Michael Loftis, Michael, this is just
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: staggering stuff.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: What do you make of this story? The New York.
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: Posters reported the photos were taken while he was acting
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: out some bimbo bimbo fication fetish. I'm not even sure
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: what that is, but apparently it's all about exaggerated physical
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: appearance and hypersexuality.
• 41:00
  Speaker 13: Yeah, it's it's it's crazy. This is one of those
• 41:02
  Speaker 13: things where I don't want to know what this is.
• 41:05
  Speaker 13: I could have gone my whole life without knowing that
• 41:07
  Speaker 13: this was a thing. And I tell you what, Christinome,
• 41:12
  Speaker 13: she's going to have an open and shut divorce case
• 41:15
  Speaker 13: right there. Her lawyer is going to be like your
• 41:18
  Speaker 13: honor Exhibit A B and the double d's. It's not
• 41:22
  Speaker 13: going to be good. And she couldn't run homeland security anymore.
• 41:26
  Speaker 13: She was blindsided by this. She didn't know her husband
• 41:29
  Speaker 13: was doing this. And if terrorists were ever to find
• 41:32
  Speaker 13: out that Christy Nome can't see this kind of thing,
• 41:34
  Speaker 13: we would have had cross dressing terrorists just coming across
• 41:37
  Speaker 13: the desert into America.
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, I mean yeah, there's all sorts of
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: questions being raised now about you know, I could have
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: been compromised, would have been a national security threat. But
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: having an individual who's this close to the seat of power.
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: The President has now responded Seat of power yes to
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: this story. He's told The Daily Mail he did not
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: know about the photos and was surprised that Nome had
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: confirmed their authenticity. He said, they confirmed it. Wow, Well,
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: I feel badly for the family. If that's the case,
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: that's too bad.
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: This is quite a.
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: For from grace for Christine Home. She was sacked by
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: the president, demoted into a lesser role, and not too
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: long ago, Michael, she was the face of a two
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: hundred million dollar ad campaign.
• 42:36
  Speaker 13: Yeah, and you had people on the left saying that
• 42:39
  Speaker 13: Christy Nome wasn't qualified for that job because she was
• 42:42
  Speaker 13: a bimbo. And it turns out it was her husband
• 42:46
  Speaker 13: the whole time. It's like the ultimate plot twist. No
• 42:50
  Speaker 13: one saw this coming. And for this guy, he's on
• 42:54
  Speaker 13: the internet trying to meet people. Would it kill you
• 42:57
  Speaker 13: to smile, buddy? I mean, you got the hotpan on,
• 43:00
  Speaker 13: you got the big knockers. Give us a smile. That's
• 43:04
  Speaker 13: what's so confusing about it. Are you not happy?
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you said double D's.
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: I had to look at some of those photos that
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: would be Triple K's. I mean we're talking oversized, oversized.
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: Now let's move along from this story.
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: We've seen all sorts of bullying and intimidation of Nicki
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: Minaj since she came out as pro Trump.
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: And the activists did promise that they would.
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: Hunt for other MAGA musicians and expose them and teale
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: Cee sing aunt Chili Chili Thomas, who donated to the
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: Trump campaign, has been caught out, but unlike Minaj, who's
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: been steadfast and strong, Chili has apologized in record times.
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: She also posted on social media, I want to be clear,
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: I am not MAGA and do not support any of
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: the many policies that are causing great harm to the
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: American people. I made a mistake, too many, too many
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: make I did not read the fine print.
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: Pathetic, pathetic week, Michael. But I guess I shouldn't.
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: Be shocked because the hate and cancelation efforts that Nicki
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: Minaj has faced. I guess someone like Chili from tailc
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: She's not big enough to withstand that.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: I guess not.
• 44:28
  Speaker 13: I guess not, and to apologize this vociferously and this fact.
• 44:34
  Speaker 13: You know who does that? A scrub. A scrub does that.
• 44:38
  Speaker 13: And I don't want no scrubs.
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: Stuff you chili.
• 44:44
  Speaker 13: She says she didn't read the fine print. What with
• 44:48
  Speaker 13: Donald Trump? There is no fine print with Donald Trump.
• 44:51
  Speaker 13: That dude is all caps caps locked. I'm building a wall.
• 44:55
  Speaker 13: There's no fine print.
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: Everything is doing he has been yelling about, screaming about
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: for at least the last five years, throughout the Biden years.
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: We knew about the deportation plan, we knew about the wall,
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: we knew about pretty much everything he is doing. Right now, now,
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: let's talk about Tiger Woods. He's announced that he's taking
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: a break from golf, just days after he was arrested
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: for driving under the influence in Florida. In a post
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: to social media, Woods wrote, I know and understand the
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: seriousness of the situation I find myself in today. I
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: am stepping away for a period of time to seek
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: treatment and focus on my health.
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: This is necessary in.
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: Order for me to prioritize my well being and work
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: towards recovery.
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: Michael.
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: It was also reported that Tiger Woods was caught with
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: two white pills in his pocket. According to police. It's
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: a sad state of affairs.
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: This man is a sporting legend and much beloved.
• 45:57
  Speaker 13: Yeah, and it's he wants the best for Tiger. He's
• 46:01
  Speaker 13: just so beloved. But this is one of those examples
• 46:04
  Speaker 13: that God doesn't give with both hands, right, Like, I'm
• 46:07
  Speaker 13: going to make you one of the best golfers ever,
• 46:10
  Speaker 13: but when you try to drive, you're gonna suck at it.
• 46:12
  Speaker 13: You're gonna wreck like a third of the time. This guy,
• 46:16
  Speaker 13: he's make us all. We're all screaming, you know, at
• 46:19
  Speaker 13: our TVs right now. Dude, you're worth one point five
• 46:23
  Speaker 13: billion dollars. Get a driver. Get a driver. I know
• 46:26
  Speaker 13: there's a double entendre right there. He's good with a putter.
• 46:29
  Speaker 13: I think the guy needs a driver.
• 46:31
  Speaker 8: Is what he needs.
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: He does need a driver, you're right.
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: And there's also been concern about the fact that he
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: may be driving around in that sort of state. The
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: President's grandchildren, not that you'd want any children in the car,
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: but Tiger Woods is dating Don Junior's ex wife and
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: the mother of his children, so that's also been spoken about.
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: There's always a twist in these stories. Now brought you news.
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: The other day of a potential royal reunion between King
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: Charles and Prince Harry in the UK.
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: Later this year.
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: Have a new reports revealed that Prince William may snup
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: his younger brother and that invitation if it weren't to come.
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: What do you make of this story, Michael, Can you
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: see these brothers ever reconciling. I mean, it's so sad
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: that the only sons of the future. King William is
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: obviously going to be king one day, and to have
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: Harry completely estranged from his family is a sad state
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: of affairs.
• 47:34
  Speaker 13: Yeah, these two guys have to get back together and
• 47:38
  Speaker 13: they will. It's Megan Mirkle. This chick just must be
• 47:42
  Speaker 13: unbearable to beer around the Royals. I guess she's going
• 47:47
  Speaker 13: to be touring Australia and she's giving some speech at
• 47:51
  Speaker 13: like her best life thing, and it's like, that's the
• 47:54
  Speaker 13: last person you want to hear about her best life.
• 47:58
  Speaker 13: Megan Mirkle, who's just on this trail of tears? What
• 48:02
  Speaker 13: is she going to tell these people, Oh, your best life,
• 48:05
  Speaker 13: you want to marry a royal and then ruin his life.
• 48:08
  Speaker 13: The royals need to be very quiet for a long time.
• 48:11
  Speaker 13: They need to take a page out of Queen Elizabeth's handbook.
• 48:16
  Speaker 13: She would just hang back, hang back. You wouldn't hear
• 48:18
  Speaker 13: from her for months, and all of a sudden she
• 48:20
  Speaker 13: pop out and she's like, I love Britain, Britain is fantastic,
• 48:24
  Speaker 13: and then she'd go away again. That's what these boys
• 48:27
  Speaker 13: need to do.
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: Michael Loft's it's always a pleasure. Thanks for your.
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: Time tonight, and that's all the time we have. But
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: don't go anywhere. Newsnight is up next.
