- 0:02Speaker 1: On Scorn Loves Australia.
- 0:05Speaker 2: This is the Wider Panalty Show.
- 0:09Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panety Show. Coming
- 0:12Speaker 3: up tonight, will Peter Dutton rediscover his voice mojo as
- 0:16Speaker 3: the Liberals lose momentum and the lead up to the
- 0:18Speaker 3: federal election. Adam Crichton will be here to discuss that
- 0:22Speaker 3: and plenty more. Kosher Gator will have the latest on
- 0:25Speaker 3: the tariffs as the EU seeks to negotiate a fresh
- 0:29Speaker 3: deal with the White House. Alex Stein will have the
- 0:32Speaker 3: latest from the US, including shopping revelations about the trans
- 0:36Speaker 3: national school shooter, and later in the hour, Colleen Parkin
- 0:40Speaker 3: will join me to discuss some of the radical racial
- 0:44Speaker 3: politics infecting Australian universities and will play your audio of
- 0:48Speaker 3: a University of Queensland law lecturer for rating first year
- 0:52Speaker 3: students and left he's losing It features this anti trumper
- 0:57Speaker 3: wanting to know who's going to pay for her therapy.
- 1:00Speaker 4: So here's what I want to know as an American
- 1:03Speaker 4: for this repeated trauma that I'm going through and the
- 1:05Speaker 4: rest of the world, to be quite honest, asking for
- 1:08Speaker 4: the world, who do we send our therapy bill to.
- 1:10Speaker 3: But first we'll start with the fallout from Donald Trump's
- 1:13Speaker 3: tariff strategy and thanks to Labour's reckless economic mismanagement over
- 1:17Speaker 3: the last three years, Australia may have to face the
- 1:20Speaker 3: recession while in a weak fiscal position. The economic term
- 1:24Speaker 3: all in recent days saw more than one hundred billion
- 1:26Speaker 3: white from the ASEX two hundred on Monday, and the
- 1:29Speaker 3: Australian dollar dropped under sixty US cents for the first
- 1:33Speaker 3: time since April twenty twenty. But it's not all bad news.
- 1:37Speaker 3: In fact, mortgage holders are set to benefit from the tariffs,
- 1:40Speaker 3: with a seventy percent chance of a fifty basis point
- 1:43Speaker 3: rate cut in May that will certainly ease loan repayments.
- 1:47Speaker 3: Here's what Treasurer Jim Chalmers had to say.
- 1:50Speaker 5: Markets are now expecting around four intrast rate cuts in
- 1:55Speaker 5: Australia this calendar year. There's even a more than even
- 2:01Speaker 5: money expectation in the markets, more than fifty percent expectation
- 2:04Speaker 5: in the markets that the next Reserve Bank interest rate
- 2:08Speaker 5: cut in May might be as big as fifty basis points.
- 2:12Speaker 3: Joining me now for more on this. A senior fellow
- 2:15Speaker 3: and chief economists at the Institute of Public Affairs Adam
- 2:17Speaker 3: Kricht and Adam the Australian government continues to overspend. That's
- 2:22Speaker 3: something we'll discuss. But on a household level, a half
- 2:27Speaker 3: a percent rate cut would just be a godsend right
- 2:30Speaker 3: now with the cost of living pressures we're facing.
- 2:32Speaker 1: Yeah, certainly, that's right.
- 2:33Speaker 6: I mean, that's one of the ironies of the super
- 2:35Speaker 6: hysterical reaction for these tariff cuts is that actually, for
- 2:38Speaker 6: the ordinary punter out there, you may have four interst
- 2:41Speaker 6: rate cuts this year, and not only that, you've got
- 2:43Speaker 6: the price of petrols fall and fifteen percent I think
- 2:45Speaker 6: in three days, So both of those key costs could
- 2:49Speaker 6: be coming down for ordinary people. But as you say,
- 2:51Speaker 6: the government here is really not prepared for this heightened
- 2:55Speaker 6: geopolitical uncertainty, the heightened economic uncertainty. We've got taxes going up,
- 2:59Speaker 6: we've got spending going up, we've got get going up.
- 3:01Speaker 7: Now.
- 3:01Speaker 6: I know the Prime Minister and the Treasurer say, oh,
- 3:03Speaker 6: we're so well prepared, but you know one thing that
- 3:06Speaker 6: is worrying, and that is the effect of these possible
- 3:08Speaker 6: tariffs on China. We've seen the price of iron ore
- 3:10Speaker 6: drop significantly. That is our biggest export this could hasten
- 3:14Speaker 6: the end of the resource boom, and if that is
- 3:15Speaker 6: the case, we need to batten down the hatches and
- 3:17Speaker 6: get serious.
- 3:18Speaker 3: We may have to start approving a few projects a
- 3:21Speaker 3: little bit quicker than the ten to fifteen years it
- 3:23Speaker 3: can take to go through all the green and red
- 3:26Speaker 3: and sometimes black tape as well. Now, the Liberals have
- 3:29Speaker 3: continued to self combust. This week they dumped one of
- 3:33Speaker 3: their own candidates for having the same opinions as their
- 3:37Speaker 3: shadow Defense Minister. Benjamin Britain. The Liberal candidate for the
- 3:40Speaker 3: New South Wales seat of Whitlam, was disendorsed by the
- 3:44Speaker 3: party for saying that the Defense Force needs to remove
- 3:47Speaker 3: females from combat roles in order to fix the military,
- 3:51Speaker 3: in line with similar comments made by Andrew Hasty in
- 3:55Speaker 3: the past. Adam, this is just more evidence of how
- 3:58Speaker 3: weak the coalition is. That you're not back their own
- 4:00Speaker 3: They do not back their own position and arguments. They
- 4:04Speaker 3: don't tackle these difficult debates they submit no.
- 4:09Speaker 6: Certainly, I thought the Liberal Party was supposed to be
- 4:11Speaker 6: a so called broad church. Well this is not showing
- 4:14Speaker 6: much evidence of being a broad church. I mean that
- 4:16Speaker 6: fellow's views, I said, he said I think that women
- 4:19Speaker 6: should not be in some combat roles. Well, that's a
- 4:21Speaker 6: view that more than fifty percent of Australians probably not.
- 4:25Speaker 3: In those combat roles. Most men wouldn't qualify to be
- 4:28Speaker 3: in them.
- 4:29Speaker 6: That is certainly true. But the point is, I mean,
- 4:31Speaker 6: he's not saying anything too extreme. And the other so
- 4:33Speaker 6: called extreme view was he was anti lockdown and he
- 4:36Speaker 6: was anti compulsory vaccination from the COVID vaccines.
- 4:39Speaker 3: On the right side of his street.
- 4:41Speaker 6: So basically he's been right about everything and he just
- 4:42Speaker 6: holds normal views. So I don't know why they've done that.
- 4:45Speaker 6: They've just kind of wrong footed the campaign.
- 4:47Speaker 3: Again.
- 4:47Speaker 6: There's always media focus on that and it really should
- 4:50Speaker 6: be on the government and its failings.
- 4:52Speaker 3: Now to the coalition's other major bungle this way and
- 4:55Speaker 3: the part is messy. Retraction of its plan to have
- 4:58Speaker 3: public servants stop working from home has left liberal MPs
- 5:02Speaker 3: dismayed and angry at how badly public sentiment on the
- 5:06Speaker 3: issue was misread. Multiple backbenches have privately revealed the coalition's
- 5:11Speaker 3: plan to get the majority of Canberra federal public servants
- 5:14Speaker 3: back into the office had proven toxic in their electorates,
- 5:18Speaker 3: as many voters did not realize that policy only applied
- 5:21Speaker 3: to bureaucrats and not to ordinary workers. Adam, this is
- 5:25Speaker 3: again a problem, a failure in messaging, in failing to
- 5:29Speaker 3: communicate a policy that actually should be hugely popular. I
- 5:33Speaker 3: don't recall Premier Chris Mince having many problems with this
- 5:37Speaker 3: when he campaigned on it before he became New South
- 5:40Speaker 3: Wales premier.
- 5:41Speaker 6: Yeah, look, that is true. It should have been so
- 5:43Speaker 6: much better. Although, just to briefly blow my own trumpet,
- 5:46Speaker 6: I did say a month ago on Q and A
- 5:47Speaker 6: that this policy would not work politically, and it hasn't
- 5:50Speaker 6: because they haven't been able to sell it properly. Sadly,
- 5:52Speaker 6: work from home is very popular with a lot of people,
- 5:54Speaker 6: and they thought that this policy applied to them. Of
- 5:56Speaker 6: course it did not, as you suggested, only about the
- 5:59Speaker 6: public service. But you know, people don't pay much attention
- 6:02Speaker 6: to politicians into politics, especially this election campaign, which, let's
- 6:05Speaker 6: face it is a bit of a snooze fest.
- 6:07Speaker 3: It is, and the Labor Party and their activists of
- 6:12Speaker 3: which there are many in the media, when hard on
- 6:15Speaker 3: this policy. This was anti female, it was misogynist. It
- 6:19Speaker 3: was going to set female workers back decades. I mean
- 6:22Speaker 3: the hyperbole employed was extraordinary, but it's work. They've backtracked
- 6:27Speaker 3: on a key policy. Now let's check in with how
- 6:30Speaker 3: the election campaign is playing out on social media. We'll
- 6:34Speaker 3: look at some Labor Party ads. I've got to say
- 6:38Speaker 3: that they are creative. You've got to give them that.
- 6:41Speaker 3: We'll start off with Environment Minister Tania Plebisex shed They
- 6:44Speaker 3: had this to say, so apparently.
- 6:47Speaker 6: Peter doesn't stand a backflip on working from home. Who
- 6:50Speaker 6: believes that he can change what he says, but he
- 6:53Speaker 6: can't change.
- 6:54Speaker 1: Who he is authorized perics and ALP camera.
- 6:57Speaker 3: Now that was a bit more conventional. That's the sort
- 7:00Speaker 3: of ad we expect. Let's have a look at some
- 7:02Speaker 3: of the more wacky, bizarre or this time, I think
- 7:05Speaker 3: they're attempting to portray Albow or some kind of I
- 7:09Speaker 3: don't know, alpha male heartthrop M, lock up your wives.
- 7:28Speaker 3: I don't know what. I don't know who that's targeting.
- 7:30Speaker 3: Here's Elbow dropping some mad beats. These are official ads, people,
- 7:34Speaker 3: official ads.
- 7:35Speaker 8: They are.
- 7:38Speaker 1: Completely authorized per ALP camera.
- 7:50Speaker 3: And Labor are not above a little bit of election misinformation.
- 7:54Speaker 8: You know.
- 7:54Speaker 9: The problem Pit is.
- 7:55Speaker 8: All no no, no, no to tax cuts.
- 7:58Speaker 4: No to help in the cost of living.
- 8:00Speaker 3: Coming shouldn't debt.
- 8:01Speaker 6: He's a note of everything unless it's big long lunches
- 8:03Speaker 6: for bosses.
- 8:04Speaker 3: Then he's a massive Yes.
- 8:05Speaker 1: Authorized perics and alp camera and the Greens.
- 8:08Speaker 3: We should never forget the Greens. Let's have a look
- 8:11Speaker 3: at this effort. Yeah, they want to know.
- 8:28Speaker 10: Authorized by ACROF for the Greens, New South Wales, Sydney.
- 8:32Speaker 3: I've got a pause for some sort of commentary there.
- 8:34Speaker 3: What was that, Adam?
- 8:36Speaker 11: Well?
- 8:36Speaker 3: Look what are the green smoking?
- 8:38Speaker 12: Look?
- 8:38Speaker 6: I just think taken collectively, if these ads are effective,
- 8:41Speaker 6: it's a reminder that we have to get rid of
- 8:43Speaker 6: compulsory very soon.
- 8:44Speaker 3: But let him cook one.
- 8:46Speaker 6: I mean he's been cooking for three years that the
- 8:47Speaker 6: dish is not particularly tasty. But no, maybe, but maybe
- 8:51Speaker 6: people like this stuff. But overall it's a sad indictment
- 8:53Speaker 6: on our politics, isn't it.
- 8:54Speaker 3: These ads are pathetic, are pathetic, But there's ones that
- 8:57Speaker 3: are having cuts through on social media. As we know,
- 9:01Speaker 3: social media is where people are absorbing so much of
- 9:05Speaker 3: their news. It's not just young people anymore. We're talking
- 9:08Speaker 3: to people fifty and under and increasingly over fifty as well.
- 9:12Speaker 3: This is where you can reach people who are not
- 9:15Speaker 3: that engaged, and this is a sort of nonsense reaching them.
- 9:19Speaker 3: Let's have a look at what a conservative activist group,
- 9:22Speaker 3: Advance has been up to.
- 9:25Speaker 1: Forget you Pal, thanks for nothing?
- 9:29Speaker 3: Shall I say, forget you Pal, thanks for nothing?
- 9:33Speaker 2: And I start right out of there.
- 9:35Speaker 7: That's talent them.
- 9:36Speaker 12: Homer, authorized by Sandra Berg, Advance Australia Camera.
- 9:40Speaker 3: I've got to say Advance are a lot more clever
- 9:43Speaker 3: than whoever's doing the liberals ads. And I would just
- 9:47Speaker 3: stay far were them my maxim phone calls and collaborate
- 9:51Speaker 3: because they are just putting ads together, whether they're social
- 9:55Speaker 3: media ads or mainstream media ads that actually are huge.
- 10:00Speaker 3: They're not cringey and just so predictable.
- 10:03Speaker 6: And everyone loves the Simpsons to the Simpsons illusion.
- 10:06Speaker 3: It's kind of our generation. Maybe that's so we like it.
- 10:09Speaker 6: But you know, generally the two major parties are so
- 10:12Speaker 6: close together that you just get these sorts of ads
- 10:13Speaker 6: kind of adds about nothing. So it's really an indictment
- 10:16Speaker 6: on both the major parties.
- 10:18Speaker 3: Absolutely.
- 10:18Speaker 2: Now.
- 10:19Speaker 3: Rising tide has struck again. Earlier today, a climate protest
- 10:23Speaker 3: a disrupted at press conference about mental health to heckle
- 10:27Speaker 3: the Prime Minister.
- 10:28Speaker 11: When it came to working from home and the sacking
- 10:31Speaker 11: of forty one thousand public services.
- 10:38Speaker 7: And and I haven't been.
- 10:48Speaker 3: Adam. These folk will never be happy. I mean, how
- 10:51Speaker 3: much more green can the Australian government be? But they're
- 10:55Speaker 3: still carrying on like that. I'm surprised we're not having
- 10:59Speaker 3: masses of them super gluing themselves to the streets because
- 11:02Speaker 3: we saw that for several years.
- 11:04Speaker 6: Well look, I thought it was ironic that she was
- 11:06Speaker 6: crashing a mental health sum because if there's any evidence
- 11:08Speaker 6: of a mental health crisis, it's surely that woman.
- 11:11Speaker 3: I mean, not passing any sort of judgments on her
- 11:14Speaker 3: mental health. Let me just say that in case, just
- 11:17Speaker 3: particularly now. Of course, now this is worry news for
- 11:22Speaker 3: Peter Dutton anth now but easy as we know, strengthening
- 11:26Speaker 3: his position in the polls as preferred leader and the
- 11:29Speaker 3: negative feedback from voters is very interesting on Peter Dutton.
- 11:34Speaker 3: Now let's take this with a grain of salt because
- 11:37Speaker 3: this is Labor Commission focus groups that I'm about to
- 11:40Speaker 3: quote from. But these are some of the words that
- 11:43Speaker 3: these people in these focused groups have used to describe
- 11:46Speaker 3: the Liberal leader. They include extreme creepy, agro charmless too, trumpy,
- 11:53Speaker 3: looks better with glasses and a banker with a w
- 11:59Speaker 3: AM I allowed to say that on television. I'm not
- 12:01Speaker 3: sure do we take this seriously. I mean, certainly the
- 12:05Speaker 3: polls show that Anthony Alberanese is increasing his lead, but
- 12:09Speaker 3: I would suggest that's not because he looks scary Peter Dutton.
- 12:13Speaker 3: It's just because we're not hearing much from him. That
- 12:16Speaker 3: differentiates the coalition from what we already have, and.
- 12:20Speaker 6: I think the coalition should be taking advantage of this persona.
- 12:23Speaker 6: I mean, he comes across as stern and serious and authoritative,
- 12:26Speaker 6: and these are uncertain times, so that should be working.
- 12:29Speaker 6: But sadly it's not so far with the coalition.
- 12:32Speaker 3: Well, what can they do to turn things around? We
- 12:35Speaker 3: saw how successful Peter Dutton was in turning around those
- 12:39Speaker 3: poll numbers and getting the voice vote defeated, getting the
- 12:43Speaker 3: referendum defeated. How can he tap back into that, Peter Dutton,
- 12:49Speaker 3: because that's been missing, I've got to say in twenty
- 12:52Speaker 3: twenty five.
- 12:53Speaker 6: Yeah, Look, because there was a stark difference, there was
- 12:55Speaker 6: a real choice. I think so far in this campaign
- 12:58Speaker 6: there's not really a real choice I mean the issues
- 13:00Speaker 6: are fairly minor. I think if they want to turn
- 13:02Speaker 6: the tie, they need a big announcement that gets everyone's attention,
- 13:04Speaker 6: and it's going to be controversial, you know. I think
- 13:06Speaker 6: we get the IPA would suggest say that we're going
- 13:08Speaker 6: to dump net zero. That's what the Tories did in
- 13:10Speaker 6: the UK. They've done it, They've announced it. It's not
- 13:13Speaker 6: economically or even scientifically possible, so we may as well
- 13:16Speaker 6: dump it and let's have the argument.
- 13:18Speaker 3: Absolutely, let's have the debate. It's a cost of living election,
- 13:21Speaker 3: and cost of living is impacted greatly by energy costs,
- 13:25Speaker 3: so absolutely, that would be a battleground that I think
- 13:30Speaker 3: he could win. Adam Christ And thank you for your
- 13:31Speaker 3: time tonight.
- 13:32Speaker 7: Thanks Reda.
- 13:33Speaker 3: Well, here is a case of HUTSBA. China is accusing
- 13:37Speaker 3: the US of bullying after America's slapped tariffs on Beijing,
- 13:41Speaker 3: and Old Trump has made it clear that he will
- 13:44Speaker 3: impose additional tariffs on China if they impose retaliatory tariffs.
- 13:49Speaker 8: They put a thirty four percent tariff on above what
- 13:54Speaker 8: their ridiculous tariffs were already, and I said of that
- 13:58Speaker 8: tariff isn't removed by tomorrow at twelve o'clock. We're putting
- 14:01Speaker 8: a fifty percent teriff on above the tariffs.
- 14:05Speaker 9: That we put on.
- 14:06Speaker 3: This comes as countries scrambled to make deals with the
- 14:10Speaker 3: White House, offering to remove tariffs on US products in
- 14:13Speaker 3: return for relief from US tariffs. Joining me now is
- 14:17Speaker 3: Guyanese contributor Kosher Gata. Kosher China, which uses economic coersion
- 14:23Speaker 3: to bully smaller countries, is seriously claiming to be bullied here.
- 14:27Speaker 3: It's rich and they impose these tariffs on countries around
- 14:32Speaker 3: the world, so for them to be upset about this.
- 14:35Speaker 3: It's one thing for Australia to be upset, but China
- 14:38Speaker 3: is not really embrace free trade as we know it.
- 14:41Speaker 12: There's a lot of stagecraft going on in this issue
- 14:44Speaker 12: that's rocked the world obviously, and between the US and China,
- 14:47Speaker 12: which is a special part of this whole trade what
- 14:50Speaker 12: that's happening, It really is the battle of the century
- 14:52Speaker 12: between the two superpowers.
- 14:54Speaker 3: And if we're.
- 14:55Speaker 12: Moving towards a multipolar world, which is what Tiam Trump
- 14:58Speaker 12: actually does believe in, which no longer going to be
- 15:00Speaker 12: a single superpower, but China is going to be a
- 15:02Speaker 12: fellow superpower. It has to be recalibrated and tariffs is
- 15:06Speaker 12: where this battle is coming to a head. So they're
- 15:08Speaker 12: jockeying against it with each other. And what they're after
- 15:11Speaker 12: is obviously trade balance where they're both doing ten to
- 15:14Speaker 12: twelve percent of trade with each other. But if you
- 15:16Speaker 12: add indirect trade that US bound, China relies on the
- 15:19Speaker 12: US more. So that's the leverage that Trump is imposing.
- 15:22Speaker 12: The leverage that China has is that a lot of
- 15:24Speaker 12: the supply chains that sit there for vital goods from
- 15:26Speaker 12: fertilizer to penicillin, and they know that semiconductors, et cetera
- 15:30Speaker 12: hard to bring that back overnight. And so this is
- 15:32Speaker 12: where you're kind of seeing the rubber hit the road.
- 15:35Speaker 12: It could spill out into arenas beyond even tariffs and trades,
- 15:38Speaker 12: which is restricting immigration or student visas. We're not anywhere
- 15:41Speaker 12: near there yet, but I would not be surprised if
- 15:43Speaker 12: all of that gets put on the table.
- 15:45Speaker 3: The supply Chin issue is enormous, isn't it, because successive
- 15:49Speaker 3: leaders have really neglected that area. I think during COVID
- 15:53Speaker 3: we realize how dependent we were on China and how
- 15:56Speaker 3: dangerous that was, and it's something that has to be
- 16:00Speaker 3: addressed whoever's in the White House. You cannot have vital
- 16:04Speaker 3: goods dependent on China. You've got to be self sufficient
- 16:08Speaker 3: enough that your penicillin doesn't have to come via China
- 16:12Speaker 3: or a portion of it come from China.
- 16:14Speaker 12: And that is something to write that. COVID really put
- 16:17Speaker 12: that in the spotlight, and the US has a lot
- 16:19Speaker 12: of economic mate to wield in that regard, but it
- 16:21Speaker 12: is a lesson for everybody, including Australia.
- 16:24Speaker 3: Absolutely. Now, au nations are ready to negotiate with the US.
- 16:28Speaker 3: Let's hear from the European Commission President.
- 16:31Speaker 13: We stand ready to negotiate with the United States. Indeed,
- 16:35Speaker 13: we have offered zero for zero tariffs for industrial goods,
- 16:38Speaker 13: as we have successfully done with many other trading partners,
- 16:42Speaker 13: because Europe is always ready for a good deal, so
- 16:46Speaker 13: we keep it on the table, but we are also
- 16:48Speaker 13: prepared to respond through countermeasures and defend our interests.
- 16:54Speaker 3: It's interesting they have offered zero for zero tariffs for
- 16:57Speaker 3: industrial goods. Is that going to be enough for Donald Trump?
- 17:01Speaker 3: Or is that too narrow?
- 17:02Speaker 12: It feels like it's a start, and it happened awfully quickly.
- 17:06Speaker 12: I think Madame Ursula over there, you know, talks about
- 17:08Speaker 12: it as, ah, this is something we do all the time.
- 17:10Speaker 3: It's no big deal.
- 17:11Speaker 12: She didn't do it last week or last month or
- 17:13Speaker 12: last year when she could have. Look, it's a start.
- 17:17Speaker 12: I think what Trump is after is twofold. One is reciprocity,
- 17:20Speaker 12: so the zero for zero is one shape that that
- 17:23Speaker 12: could take. The other is actually trade balance, where the
- 17:27Speaker 12: number of things that are present in the market here
- 17:29Speaker 12: that come from Europe is somewhat reciprocal in terms of
- 17:32Speaker 12: the trade that we do there. So he talks about
- 17:34Speaker 12: how US streets are flooded with European and Japanese cars.
- 17:37Speaker 12: The reverse is not true, for instance, so that will
- 17:39Speaker 12: take longer. Where the tariffs even the playing field enough
- 17:42Speaker 12: that step two is that hopefully the Europeans are actually
- 17:44Speaker 12: importing more American goods, which helps to go towards reindustrializing America,
- 17:48Speaker 12: which is.
- 17:48Speaker 3: Ultimately his coal now a massive wind for the Trump administration.
- 17:52Speaker 3: In the Supreme Court lifting a lower court order that
- 17:56Speaker 3: blocked the deportation of Venezuela and Gang bang Is, among others.
- 18:00Speaker 3: Kosher was a five to four decision. Amy Coney Barrett,
- 18:05Speaker 3: who Donald Trump appointed in his first term, sided with
- 18:08Speaker 3: the three leftists in the court, tell me about this victory,
- 18:12Speaker 3: what it means for the deportation plan and the commentary
- 18:17Speaker 3: around Coney Barrett. A lot of people are saying she's
- 18:21Speaker 3: Donald Trump's biggest mistake.
- 18:23Speaker 12: A lot of people from the Trump base are not
- 18:25Speaker 12: happy with her for this decision and another decision her
- 18:28Speaker 12: and Chief Justice John Roberts can't rely on them as
- 18:31Speaker 12: always been conservative. But notwithstanding that, this is a win
- 18:34Speaker 12: five to four for Trump. This is that case a
- 18:37Speaker 12: few three Saturdays ago when Justice Boseburg, the Federal DC
- 18:42Speaker 12: District Coort judge, said and ordered the planes that were
- 18:45Speaker 12: midflight outside of US airspace on their way to taking
- 18:48Speaker 12: those to El Salbert or taking those gang members out,
- 18:52Speaker 12: have to be turned around and brought back. They defied it.
- 18:54Speaker 12: This has been running its way up the court. Trump
- 18:56Speaker 12: team asked for an emergency hearing with the Scottis and
- 18:59Speaker 12: they said that he does have as Commander in chief
- 19:02Speaker 12: jurisdiction in invoking that act and seeing and declaring who
- 19:06Speaker 12: is a predatory invasion or incursions or not at war
- 19:09Speaker 12: with Venezuela. That's where people were arguing. But it is
- 19:12Speaker 12: an invasion as defined by him, and he has full
- 19:14Speaker 12: jurisdiction to do that, not this judge from DC. They
- 19:18Speaker 12: did say that there are some due process rights that
- 19:20Speaker 12: should be or could be allowed to these folks, but
- 19:22Speaker 12: it would have to be in the venue where they
- 19:23Speaker 12: were held, which would be Texas and not DC. So
- 19:26Speaker 12: it's definitely a slap back on Judge Boseburg. And it
- 19:29Speaker 12: is a win for Trump because they're going to be
- 19:30Speaker 12: able to continue declaring these most criminal violent gang members
- 19:35Speaker 12: and the lake and getting that out of the country quickly.
- 19:37Speaker 3: And the venue is particularly important, very big difference between
- 19:41Speaker 3: DC and Texas there. And this development in the Supreme
- 19:45Speaker 3: Court comes as more than one hundred illegal immigrants were
- 19:49Speaker 3: nabbed as part of a five day mess deportation operation
- 19:52Speaker 3: in New York. Now, what's interesting about this Kosher Among
- 19:56Speaker 3: those detained worth three convicted killers. Reports. The group of
- 20:01Speaker 3: murderers includes a forty nine year old from Trinidad and Tobago,
- 20:05Speaker 3: a thirty two year old from El Salvador, and a
- 20:07Speaker 3: seventy year old from the Dominican Republic. When Trump talks
- 20:10Speaker 3: about criminals, hardened criminals being amongst these illegal immigrants, this
- 20:16Speaker 3: is what he's talking about. Because the border was so
- 20:21Speaker 3: completely compromised, that he literally had killers crossing over and
- 20:25Speaker 3: living freely in the.
- 20:26Speaker 12: Community, and the horrible cases that will live on an
- 20:30Speaker 12: infamy like Lake and Riley and others who were killed
- 20:32Speaker 12: by people exactly like this and this profile. This is
- 20:35Speaker 12: the thing, right. So there's the legal thing with the
- 20:37Speaker 12: Scottish ruling and the minutia of which jurisdiction and what
- 20:41Speaker 12: the Article two powers are versus Article three. That's all important,
- 20:45Speaker 12: But the everyday person isn't in the weeds. Following that,
- 20:47Speaker 12: the everyday person does understand criminals with tattoos all the
- 20:51Speaker 12: way up to their faces coming in. These young, able
- 20:54Speaker 12: bodied men who have no business being here were openly
- 20:57Speaker 12: welcomed in and then committing crimes. So that it really
- 21:01Speaker 12: is a win win for Trump. No matter what he does,
- 21:02Speaker 12: he wins. The people are behind him, and the Democrats
- 21:05Speaker 12: are really in a box they think politically when they
- 21:07Speaker 12: keep defending people in.
- 21:08Speaker 3: This The Democrats were smart, they would just ignore this issue.
- 21:12Speaker 3: They would just try not to bring any publicity to
- 21:15Speaker 3: it and let him do what he wants to do
- 21:17Speaker 3: in this arena. Because, as you said, anytime there's any
- 21:21Speaker 3: sort of media attention, there's any courtroom challenges. It's good
- 21:25Speaker 3: for Trump. This is a policy that he wins on
- 21:28Speaker 3: with the majority every single time. Now, this has got
- 21:32Speaker 3: to be the funniest story of the year for me
- 21:35Speaker 3: so far. The New York Post reports Kamala Harris was
- 21:39Speaker 3: absolutely blindsided by her landslide loss to Donald Trump. She
- 21:44Speaker 3: had bought the hype herself. She thought her campaign was
- 21:47Speaker 3: in good shape. They had more money, they had good press,
- 21:50Speaker 3: and of course those dodgy poll numbers that no one
- 21:54Speaker 3: with a brain trusted. But she actually thought she was
- 21:56Speaker 3: going to win, win comfortably. This is all in a
- 21:59Speaker 3: new book on the twenty twenty four presidential election by
- 22:02Speaker 3: The Hill correspondent Amy Parnes. She also says Tim Walls,
- 22:07Speaker 3: Kamala's VP candidate, was so stunned by Kamala's terrible performance
- 22:13Speaker 3: that he was unable to speak on election night. The
- 22:17Speaker 3: author describes the Minnesota governor sitting in his hotel room
- 22:21Speaker 3: silently on election night as staffers tried to explain the
- 22:25Speaker 3: crushing loss. I can just picture that that is kind
- 22:28Speaker 3: of a hilarious in many ways. How could they not
- 22:32Speaker 3: see this? Surely they have learned over the years that
- 22:35Speaker 3: the polls always underestimate Trump that no matter how much
- 22:40Speaker 3: good press you get, the media's influence has diminished, and
- 22:45Speaker 3: Kamala was a poor candidate, just like Hillary was.
- 22:49Speaker 12: It is so hard to believe. I'm sure sure Amy
- 22:51Speaker 12: Parnas reporting is well sourced and this did happen, and
- 22:55Speaker 12: it is in that way it is possible to believe
- 22:57Speaker 12: because but Kamlin goes to the point that she didn't
- 23:01Speaker 12: have a lot of depth, just to be very blunt
- 23:03Speaker 12: about it, and a lot of people said that about her.
- 23:05Speaker 12: So she sounds like somebody who at the high level.
- 23:07Speaker 3: Okay, I've got.
- 23:08Speaker 12: More money than Team Trump, which she did. I've got
- 23:10Speaker 12: more press and favorable press, which she did. So everything's good.
- 23:13Speaker 12: I've got some polls that are saying I'm going well.
- 23:14Speaker 12: And she never was able to go deeper and dig
- 23:16Speaker 12: deeper and like, check the validity of that, or how
- 23:18Speaker 12: much does money matter? How much does mainstream media press matter?
- 23:21Speaker 12: To your point, So maybe she was just floating on
- 23:23Speaker 12: that surface level and got a shock. We heard similar
- 23:26Speaker 12: reports of Hillary Clinton. Apparently it was very very shocked
- 23:29Speaker 12: twenty sixteen November.
- 23:31Speaker 3: That one you.
- 23:31Speaker 12: Could still believe because she was a worthy contender. This
- 23:34Speaker 12: one to anybody who's not in the little bubble. It
- 23:37Speaker 12: just feels so impossible to imagine kershageda.
- 23:41Speaker 3: Thank you pleasure still to come. My lefties losing it?
- 23:44Speaker 3: Plus Alex Stein is here with the latest from the US,
- 23:48Speaker 3: including shocking revelations about the trans Nashville school shooter. Welcome back.
- 24:02Speaker 3: It's time for lefties losing it? And what is it
- 24:06Speaker 3: with the left and violence? They cannot help themselves. Time
- 24:10Speaker 3: and time again they resort to violence, whether it's mass
- 24:14Speaker 3: violence like we saw with the BLM and Antifa riots,
- 24:18Speaker 3: or one on one violence like this next clip. What
- 24:21Speaker 3: chair as this lefty loses it during a discussion about abortion,
- 24:26Speaker 3: attacking a pro life activist Savannah Craven and Taau.
- 24:30Speaker 14: I think that you just don't understand the magnitude of
- 24:33Speaker 14: having a child's here. Well, I'm not the one who
- 24:36Speaker 14: admitted they would be okay with killing maybies and foster
- 24:38Speaker 14: care and killing children that have been abused.
- 24:40Speaker 3: That's the point.
- 24:41Speaker 15: What a sex really.
- 24:47Speaker 3: With charming? That punch left Savannah bruised and bleeding. But
- 24:55Speaker 3: it's okay because the charming abortion enthusiast who threw that
- 24:59Speaker 3: part lunch has since apologized. Well, sort of. Brianna Rivers
- 25:04Speaker 3: of The bron said this of her victims. She said,
- 25:07Speaker 3: Savannah is a professional antagonist, not a reporter, and the
- 25:12Speaker 3: truth will be told. I will not allow my image
- 25:15Speaker 3: to be defamed by this woman's actions. Anyone who knows
- 25:18Speaker 3: me knows how respectful I am. I don't even litter.
- 25:22Speaker 3: There's no way you believe I'm punching people for disagreeing
- 25:27Speaker 3: with my point of view. A lady, I do believe
- 25:32Speaker 3: you would punch people because of their point of view,
- 25:34Speaker 3: because I've just been watching it. That's precisely what you did.
- 25:38Speaker 7: Dear me.
- 25:39Speaker 3: I think what these lefties need is therapy. This next
- 25:42Speaker 3: woman agrees with me, but she wants taxpayers or Trump
- 25:46Speaker 3: supporters to pay for her therapy because she can't cope
- 25:50Speaker 3: in the age of Trump.
- 25:51Speaker 4: All right, So here's what I want to know as
- 25:53Speaker 4: an American for this repeated trauma that I'm going through
- 25:56Speaker 4: and the rest of the world, to be quite honest,
- 25:58Speaker 4: asking for the world, who do we send our therapy
- 26:01Speaker 4: bill to? Because now that you've dismantled the entire healthcare system.
- 26:05Speaker 3: RFK Junior, you find moron.
- 26:07Speaker 10: What are we supposed to do?
- 26:08Speaker 7: Oh?
- 26:09Speaker 4: Actually, are there any therapists left. They're probably not allowed
- 26:12Speaker 4: to therapize us, right right.
- 26:14Speaker 3: I really do think it's high time that we made
- 26:17Speaker 3: asylums great again. Forget about building the wall, build asylums.
- 26:22Speaker 3: Talking about asylums, Time to check in with MSNBC. Let's
- 26:26Speaker 3: hear from Democrat operatives Simone Sanders here, she's crying for
- 26:31Speaker 3: gang bangers being sent to Al Salvador. Remember, the American
- 26:35Speaker 3: taxpayer saves a fortune by housing these criminals in El
- 26:39Speaker 3: Salvador instead of US prisons.
- 26:41Speaker 16: I would like to know who's the camera crew that
- 26:44Speaker 16: was hired to film this propaganda and what company is
- 26:48Speaker 16: literally exploiting the men in these videos for what The
- 26:53Speaker 16: men that you see in these videos that are dressed
- 26:55Speaker 16: in white, that the United States sets to El Salvador,
- 26:59Speaker 16: your tax dollars are paying for them to be housed there.
- 27:02Speaker 16: They didn't just pay for the plan. The tax dollars
- 27:05Speaker 16: are paying for every single one of these men, many
- 27:08Speaker 16: of them. Now we now innocent to people who are
- 27:10Speaker 16: not gang members.
- 27:11Speaker 3: Innocent people, she says, yes, the sort of innocent people
- 27:15Speaker 3: covered in gang tattoos, cavorting with criminals and in the
- 27:18Speaker 3: country illegally. Time for a Scott Jennings special on sin
- 27:23Speaker 3: and this time his schools. A Karen No, really, that's
- 27:27Speaker 3: that's her name.
- 27:28Speaker 2: So if we were to just keep question who's more
- 27:30Speaker 2: popular right now, Donald Trump, are congressional Democrats, It doesn't matter.
- 27:33Speaker 7: Don't Trump happens if you do, it doesn't He said,
- 27:37Speaker 7: A fifty.
- 27:37Speaker 6: You're sitting at twenty eighty.
- 27:39Speaker 4: He's fifty actually, And increasingly people are okay, you want
- 27:43Speaker 4: to call the ass sure, Okay, okay.
- 27:48Speaker 3: We're not going to go to the map over to.
- 27:51Speaker 4: His numbers are going his approval readings are going down.
- 27:56Speaker 3: We got to leave it there now. This week I'll
- 27:58Speaker 3: be bringing you plenty of footage of the mass tantrum
- 28:02Speaker 3: happening around America and in other countries as well. It's
- 28:05Speaker 3: like it's twenty seventeen all over again. Let's check out
- 28:09Speaker 3: the crowd here and tell me if you notice something
- 28:12Speaker 3: about these supposed pro democracy protesters. Yes, did you notice
- 28:27Speaker 3: the number of boomers, their elderly folk. These are the
- 28:31Speaker 3: people who benefited greatly from America being a manufacturing superpower
- 28:36Speaker 3: once upon a time, who bought their homes at a
- 28:40Speaker 3: reasonable price. They're protesting for the status co if you
- 28:43Speaker 3: think the majority of Trump voters care about billionaires losing
- 28:47Speaker 3: billions and the share markets diving, then you haven't been
- 28:51Speaker 3: paying attention. Here are some sobering facts. In the US,
- 28:55Speaker 3: ninety three percent of the stock market is held by
- 28:58Speaker 3: just ten percent the top ten percent. The bottom fifty
- 29:01Speaker 3: percent of Americans hold only around one percent of all
- 29:06Speaker 3: stocks and mutual fund shares. Now let's go to Senator
- 29:10Speaker 3: Josh Howley. He's had enough of paid activists and assorted
- 29:14Speaker 3: lefty troublemakers. Here he turns the tables on Code Pink
- 29:18Speaker 3: activists who are calling him a baby killer, and he
- 29:22Speaker 3: reminds them of their funding from China, China, the blood
- 29:28Speaker 3: of leaders.
- 29:31Speaker 11: You're a baby killer, blood, the blood.
- 29:36Speaker 3: Of the Chinese. Yep, it's high time that these anti
- 29:43Speaker 3: Israeli mobs got a taste of their own medicine.
- 29:47Speaker 2: You're along the ride.
- 29:51Speaker 1: No, no, don't use the offense.
- 29:53Speaker 17: You're a you.
- 30:00Speaker 8: We're speaking their money, and that you are rapidly inta.
- 30:04Speaker 2: You are absolutely morally districtive, and I look forward to
- 30:08Speaker 2: one day the moral come upments that you will deserve.
- 30:11Speaker 2: You are morally uphil You are appalling for the Jews.
- 30:18Speaker 14: You you are a war criminal, baby killer, baby killering.
- 30:22Speaker 3: I just love the way he said, so what when
- 30:25Speaker 3: she kept saying I'm a healthcare worker like that gives
- 30:28Speaker 3: her immunity from criticism for her abhorrent activism. Now we've
- 30:33Speaker 3: covered at length Disney's latest woke disaster, snow White film
- 30:37Speaker 3: that is bombing at the box office, and one that
- 30:40Speaker 3: is so bad that even Disney seems a little bit
- 30:43Speaker 3: of shame, scaling back the promotion dramatically. But listen here
- 30:47Speaker 3: as the star Rachel Zegler does a massive backflip. She's
- 30:51Speaker 3: gone from bagging the original story to saying it'sn't an
- 30:55Speaker 3: example to admire.
- 30:57Speaker 18: That is part of the beauty of Snowweight. It has
- 30:59Speaker 18: been for eighty eight years now that she just sees
- 31:03Speaker 18: the good and everyone and everything. And I hope that
- 31:06Speaker 18: I and so many people who watch this film can
- 31:09Speaker 18: embody that as well.
- 31:10Speaker 3: And let's have a good news story. Watch this thief
- 31:14Speaker 3: be chaste and tackle to the ground. And the humiliation
- 31:29Speaker 3: did not end there. Watch Granny put the Baddy in
- 31:32Speaker 3: a headlock. Now, too, fresh revelations of what fuel the
- 31:49Speaker 3: deadly rampage of the National school shooter who killed six,
- 31:54Speaker 3: including three children aged just nine at a Christian school
- 31:58Speaker 3: in March twenty twenty three. So much of her manifesto
- 32:02Speaker 3: was deliberately excluded from the official report released last week,
- 32:07Speaker 3: but Megan Kelly got her hands on the FBI report
- 32:11Speaker 3: and the full manifesto.
- 32:12Speaker 19: The report from the Nashville Police barely touched on the
- 32:15Speaker 19: full scope and breadth of what was contained. The killers
- 32:19Speaker 19: struggles with her gender, her obsession with gender identity, alarming
- 32:26Speaker 19: racial animis toward herself as a white person, and how
- 32:30Speaker 19: those factors contributed to the act that she committed that day.
- 32:34Speaker 19: Why do you think they excluded all of this? Why
- 32:37Speaker 19: are those two things too hot to touch? What the
- 32:40Speaker 19: Nashville Police represented was that her trans ideology, her gender
- 32:44Speaker 19: confusion had absolutely nothing to do with a horrific action too.
- 32:47Speaker 3: From how do you why?
- 32:50Speaker 19: How do you glean that this stuff is all over
- 32:52Speaker 19: her ratings.
- 32:53Speaker 3: Not only was this mass killer who was born Audrey
- 32:56Speaker 3: but calling herself Adrian, obsessed with radiol gender ideology, she
- 33:02Speaker 3: also had a deep hatred of America and of white people.
- 33:06Speaker 19: The killer writes about how epic it would have been
- 33:09Speaker 19: if she had shut up her own high school quote,
- 33:12Speaker 19: kill all the white kids. Kill my own race fys,
- 33:16Speaker 19: destroy all the white people who are teachers, Let all
- 33:19Speaker 19: the black kids go unless if I don't like you.
- 33:21Speaker 19: The killer goes on, un quote being white sucks, but
- 33:24Speaker 19: being black is so cool. Black people should rule, White
- 33:27Speaker 19: people should fall every white person who lived and died.
- 33:30Speaker 10: I hate you all.
- 33:31Speaker 3: Joining me now is comedian and host of Primetime with
- 33:34Speaker 3: Alex Stein on Blaze TV. Alex Stein. This is deeply disturbing,
- 33:40Speaker 3: but it paints a very vivid picture, indeed, of what
- 33:43Speaker 3: motivated this mascular and for two years, authorities have deliberately
- 33:48Speaker 3: suppressed those key details.
- 33:52Speaker 17: Well, Rita, they have to suppress those key details because
- 33:55Speaker 17: when you look at this situation, like multiple other situations
- 33:58Speaker 17: that are similar, it's not a gun problem, it's a
- 34:01Speaker 17: mental health problem. And when you see that there's a
- 34:04Speaker 17: multiple transgender shooters that are you know, on mentally you know,
- 34:09Speaker 17: they're all diagnosed as mentally ill, and they're all on
- 34:11Speaker 17: some sort of anti depressent or anti psychotic drug.
- 34:14Speaker 7: So there seems to be.
- 34:15Speaker 17: A pattern when it comes to this, and they try to,
- 34:18Speaker 17: you know, keep that narrative from actually you know, reaching
- 34:21Speaker 17: the mainstream. Even though conservatives have been screaming about this constantly,
- 34:26Speaker 17: So this only reinforces people like libs of TikTok and
- 34:30Speaker 17: people like myself and people that have actually spoke out
- 34:32Speaker 17: about the pattern recognition when it comes to these shootings.
- 34:38Speaker 3: Now, alex I mentioned in Lefties that the stock market
- 34:41Speaker 3: correction or crash, whatever you want to call it, is
- 34:45Speaker 3: obviously enraging the usual suspects. It's certainly alarming segments of
- 34:50Speaker 3: Trump's supporter base as well, including the few billionaires who
- 34:54Speaker 3: support him. They've lost a lot of money. But the
- 34:57Speaker 3: majority of his supporter base expected, indeed voted for major
- 35:03Speaker 3: economic reform. They knew full well they'd be upheaval, they'd
- 35:08Speaker 3: be winners and losers. The goal is to make American
- 35:11Speaker 3: manufacturing and American workers the winners in the long run.
- 35:16Speaker 3: Tell me how this policy is being received, not just
- 35:19Speaker 3: by Americans in general, but particularly by Trump's base.
- 35:26Speaker 17: Well, you see people like Elon Musk who's speaking out
- 35:28Speaker 17: against it. But of course Elon Musk owns a multinational corporation,
- 35:32Speaker 17: multiple multinational corporations, so it makes sense why he wants
- 35:35Speaker 17: open trade, so you know he has a vested interest
- 35:39Speaker 17: in it. But when it comes to the fairness of
- 35:41Speaker 17: the trade between America and all these other foreign countries.
- 35:44Speaker 17: It's been unfair for a long time.
- 35:46Speaker 7: And you said it best.
- 35:48Speaker 17: I mean, when in reality, lesson one percent of the
- 35:51Speaker 17: population owns ninety nine percent of the wealth.
- 35:54Speaker 7: When stuff like this happens, of course, people get affected.
- 35:57Speaker 17: People have put in money in their portfolio, and they
- 36:00Speaker 17: that go down.
- 36:01Speaker 7: But I have no doubt in my mind that the
- 36:03Speaker 7: stock market will recover, because it usually always does and
- 36:07Speaker 7: will bounce back.
- 36:08Speaker 17: So it's just kind of a tough time in the
- 36:11Speaker 17: short term. In the long term, when all of these
- 36:14Speaker 17: manufacturing jobs, like Hyundai potentially building a twenty billion dollar
- 36:17Speaker 17: factory in the United States, it's going to create American
- 36:20Speaker 17: jobs and it's going to make our economy stronger in
- 36:22Speaker 17: the long run.
- 36:25Speaker 3: Well, the bottom fifty percent in America only hold one
- 36:28Speaker 3: percent of shares. They're far less concerned by stock market fluctuations,
- 36:33Speaker 3: no matter how dramatic they may be. And I found
- 36:36Speaker 3: this discussion illuminating. This is the Treasury Secretary Scott percent
- 36:42Speaker 3: speaking to Tucker Carlson about the two Americas, not left
- 36:47Speaker 3: and right necessarily, but those who are financially comfortable and
- 36:52Speaker 3: those who are struggling like never before.
- 36:54Speaker 2: I was really struck by two different statistics. Last year,
- 36:58Speaker 2: summer of twenty twenty four, Americans took more European vacations
- 37:03Speaker 2: than they had in history. Summer of twenty twenty four,
- 37:07Speaker 2: more Americans were using food banks than they ever have
- 37:10Speaker 2: in history. I went into two food banks near my
- 37:12Speaker 2: hometown to ask what's the story, and they said, you know,
- 37:16Speaker 2: for a lot of people, it's a loss of dignity
- 37:19Speaker 2: to walk in a food bank. Course, it wasn't their
- 37:21Speaker 2: traditional clientele. Wasn't people who'd lost their homes. Were was
- 37:25Speaker 2: it people out on the street. These were working families.
- 37:28Speaker 3: Alex working people having to go into food banks just
- 37:33Speaker 3: to put food on the table. They just cannot afford
- 37:36Speaker 3: it to feed their families. That is just not something
- 37:41Speaker 3: that is sustainable for a first world nation to have
- 37:43Speaker 3: people who are working full time who still can't afford
- 37:47Speaker 3: the basics.
- 37:49Speaker 7: Yeah, here in America, I mean I they say the
- 37:52Speaker 7: land of milk and honey.
- 37:53Speaker 17: But for a lot of people, they're struggling, especially with
- 37:55Speaker 17: our college system. You know, these kids get out of
- 37:57Speaker 17: college and they're in so much debt. They have to
- 37:59Speaker 17: do some sort of gig economy type job like you
- 38:02Speaker 17: know uber or uber eats, just to kind of make
- 38:04Speaker 17: ends meet in between.
- 38:05Speaker 7: Working a nine to five entry level job.
- 38:08Speaker 17: So it sounds crazy that you have to work two
- 38:10Speaker 17: jobs in America to make it, but you really do.
- 38:12Speaker 17: And you know you're competing with legal immigrants for some jobs,
- 38:15Speaker 17: you're competing with artificial intelligence, so you know, it's tough.
- 38:19Speaker 17: And even if you do make a living, I'm going
- 38:21Speaker 17: to be honest, I make a decent living. But still,
- 38:23Speaker 17: you know, my dad's older trying to save money for him,
- 38:25Speaker 17: and it's just even me making a decent amount of money.
- 38:29Speaker 17: Things are so expensive now, so I'm not surprising more
- 38:32Speaker 17: people are going to food banks, and really I'm happy
- 38:34Speaker 17: at least there are food banks in our country. At
- 38:37Speaker 17: least we can help some people out. We probably need
- 38:39Speaker 17: to do more to help out the struggling Americans, and
- 38:42Speaker 17: I think in our country is headed in that direction.
- 38:47Speaker 3: Well, this is why so many people in the States
- 38:49Speaker 3: and elsewhere really do not care too much about stock
- 38:53Speaker 3: market fluctuations. That they're not that that's not what's keeping
- 38:57Speaker 3: them up at night. What's keeping them up up at
- 38:59Speaker 3: night is how they're going to feed their families now.
- 39:02Speaker 3: President Trump hosted the LA Dodgers today at the White House.
- 39:06Speaker 3: He had the team cracking up after he refused to
- 39:10Speaker 3: name a couple of senators that he doesn't like and others.
- 39:14Speaker 9: We have a couple of senators here.
- 39:16Speaker 8: I just don't particularly like them, so I won't introduce.
- 39:22Speaker 9: Over the course of this amazing season the members of
- 39:25Speaker 9: this team.
- 39:35Speaker 7: I didn't think it was that big a deal.
- 39:39Speaker 3: Washington never seen him so relaxed. He doesn't seem too
- 39:42Speaker 3: bothered by the tariff milldowns.
- 39:47Speaker 17: No, And isn't that just so funny to watch Donald
- 39:49Speaker 17: Trump just be himself? You know, that was totally off
- 39:52Speaker 17: the caff. He just had listening. I don't even want
- 39:54Speaker 17: to recognize the senators. I don't like them. They don't
- 39:57Speaker 17: like me, so I'm not going to give them my attention.
- 40:00Speaker 17: That's just him being himself. And that's what we didn't
- 40:02Speaker 17: have with Joe Biden. Joe Biden was constantly if he
- 40:04Speaker 17: was off script, he was basically just drooling on himself, sadly, So,
- 40:08Speaker 17: you know, I love to see a president pretty relaxed
- 40:11Speaker 17: like that. And that was an own and he wasn't
- 40:13Speaker 17: even trying to own the senators that were there, So
- 40:15Speaker 17: that was hilarious.
- 40:18Speaker 3: Yeah, he was surprised that that was such a big
- 40:20Speaker 3: deal that he wasn't going to do that. He had
- 40:23Speaker 3: the Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw presenting him with
- 40:28Speaker 3: his own forty seven jersey.
- 40:30Speaker 12: Let's have a look, mister President, we have a gift
- 40:33Speaker 12: for you as well.
- 40:36Speaker 3: Oh I like that.
- 40:42Speaker 8: Now.
- 40:42Speaker 3: He's quite a superstar, Clayton, and you've got a history
- 40:46Speaker 3: with him, Alex, do tell me what it is.
- 40:50Speaker 7: Well read.
- 40:51Speaker 17: Clayton Kershaw and I we went to high school together
- 40:54Speaker 17: at Highland Park High School in Dallas, Texas, where Clayton
- 40:57Speaker 17: and I in middle school. We were on the same
- 40:59Speaker 17: Lim League baseball team. And he's a future Hall of Famer.
- 41:02Speaker 17: You see that's me. I'm the really obese athlete right there,
- 41:06Speaker 17: you can tell.
- 41:06Speaker 20: And then also Matthew Stafford, who was a quarterback for
- 41:09Speaker 20: the Los Angeles Rams who recently won a Super Bowl.
- 41:12Speaker 20: So I used to think of about baseball, but maybe
- 41:14Speaker 20: it's because I was playing against two, you know, future
- 41:17Speaker 20: Hall of famers in different sports. So yes, I'd love
- 41:19Speaker 20: to see Clayton give that jersey to Donald Trump and Clayton.
- 41:23Speaker 20: You know, he's a pretty politically moderate, but I know
- 41:26Speaker 20: that all the liberals in California and Los Angeles especially are.
- 41:29Speaker 17: Crying seeing him hand that jersey to Donald Trump. That
- 41:32Speaker 17: was awesome to watch.
- 41:36Speaker 3: I can't believe you had two absolute superstars in that
- 41:39Speaker 3: one little team. I mean, that is incredible, little little
- 41:43Speaker 3: school in Texas, and you've got well three stars now
- 41:46Speaker 3: from that little team. Now, before you go, Alex, Michelle
- 41:50Speaker 3: Obama's podcast has been a big failed despite considerable hype
- 41:55Speaker 3: and promotion and I'm sure a very lucrative contract. She's
- 41:59Speaker 3: gone there, she just isn't getting the numbers on YouTube
- 42:03Speaker 3: or elsewhere. I kind of meagine why.
- 42:06Speaker 21: I think a lot of young people, a lot of
- 42:08Speaker 21: people in general, because of their narrow view of what's possible,
- 42:12Speaker 21: they find themselves limiting what life could look like. And
- 42:17Speaker 21: I always challenge young people now to first think about
- 42:22Speaker 21: your why, you know, don't think about the what. Don't
- 42:24Speaker 21: worry about numbers and titles.
- 42:27Speaker 3: Alex, She's supposed to be wildly popular, but this little
- 42:32Speaker 3: chat we're having right now is going to have more
- 42:34Speaker 3: views on YouTube by the morning than her podcast.
- 42:39Speaker 17: Rita, You're exactly right, and you're not being egotistical at
- 42:42Speaker 17: all of this left he's losing it. Clip will have millions,
- 42:45Speaker 17: and I believe her last podcast had thirty eight thousand views.
- 42:48Speaker 7: And she has a marketing team.
- 42:50Speaker 17: That is, you know, the same ones I think that
- 42:53Speaker 17: work with the royal family. So the fact that they
- 42:55Speaker 17: can't even get people to care about her podcast, and
- 42:58Speaker 17: that's with her brother, it's just it's it's really it
- 43:00Speaker 17: shows you that she's not as likable as the Democrats think.
- 43:04Speaker 17: And what I really think though, would make the podcast
- 43:08Speaker 17: a hit. If she talked about a relationship with Barack
- 43:11Speaker 17: and she said that they were having problems. Could you
- 43:12Speaker 17: imagine if it was almost like a divorce therapy podcast?
- 43:16Speaker 17: Then you would watch that. Then I would watch. I
- 43:18Speaker 17: think that's what she has to do. She has to
- 43:20Speaker 17: have the public Hollywood divorce and that sounds insane, but
- 43:23Speaker 17: that's the only way to save that podcast.
- 43:25Speaker 3: I feel like, yeah, she's got to take one for
- 43:29Speaker 3: the team and have a big revelation. Alex Stein, thanks
- 43:32Speaker 3: for your time. Tonight still to come, Colleen Harken joins
- 43:36Speaker 3: me to discuss some of the radical racial politics infecting
- 43:40Speaker 3: Australian universities. Welcome back. Joining me now is Institute of
- 43:53Speaker 3: Public Affairs Research Fellow and director of the IPS Schools Program,
- 43:57Speaker 3: Colleen Hearken with a University of Queensland where senior lecturer
- 44:03Speaker 3: Danny Linda has berated first year law students after she
- 44:07Speaker 3: supposedly witnessed tens of students walking out of a previous
- 44:11Speaker 3: lecture when she started talking about Indigenous Australian legal history.
- 44:16Speaker 3: Let's listen to some of what she had to say.
- 44:18Speaker 15: What I'm not going to tolerate, no matter what your
- 44:22Speaker 15: politics are, is any form of discrimination, particularly when it's
- 44:27Speaker 15: directed at me and my cultural identity as an average
- 44:30Speaker 15: nor woman.
- 44:32Speaker 22: I am an expert in the field.
- 44:34Speaker 15: I'm recognized internationally and nationally for the work that I've done,
- 44:38Speaker 15: and I'm the course coordinator with authority to run this subject.
- 44:42Speaker 22: The way in which I see fit and the way
- 44:44Speaker 22: in which I see fit is in alignment with the
- 44:47Speaker 22: Council of Australian Law Deeds and their approach to indigenizing
- 44:51Speaker 22: and their commitment to in digenizing the curriculum.
- 44:54Speaker 3: Now, Colleen, she's told the students she would remember their
- 44:57Speaker 3: faces and they better watch them because this could be
- 45:02Speaker 3: impacting the academic results. After all, she's going to determine
- 45:06Speaker 3: how well they do in this course.
- 45:09Speaker 10: It's appalling, Rita.
- 45:10Speaker 23: The fact that the irony of this is that her
- 45:12Speaker 23: area of expertise is the foundations of law, and she's
- 45:16Speaker 23: a lawyer herself, and she's threatening students.
- 45:19Speaker 10: So where does that fit into the.
- 45:22Speaker 23: Framework of actually the rule of law and what it
- 45:25Speaker 23: means to implement the law fairly to everybody. It's an apputation.
- 45:29Speaker 23: My personal view is that she should be still down.
- 45:31Speaker 23: She's threatening students that unless they actually agree with her,
- 45:34Speaker 23: she's indigenizing a curriculum that is not really related.
- 45:39Speaker 10: To actually legal studies.
- 45:41Speaker 23: As you said, these people have got really good schools
- 45:43Speaker 23: in their atar. They have a right to a proper education.
- 45:46Speaker 3: Yeah, and we are seeing this sort of activism across
- 45:50Speaker 3: the board, whether kids are studying medicine, studying law. It
- 45:55Speaker 3: seems to be infecting every area on can and if
- 46:01Speaker 3: your grades are dependent on lecturers like this, if they
- 46:05Speaker 3: take a if they object to your political positions, if
- 46:08Speaker 3: they don't like your politics, then that could impact your
- 46:12Speaker 3: school potentially and your career prospects completely.
- 46:16Speaker 23: You're very exposed to their sensitivity. Whatever this sensitivity happens
- 46:20Speaker 23: to be. Our research showed that we did an audit
- 46:23Speaker 23: of the teacher training and about a year and a
- 46:25Speaker 23: quarter of teacher training is work material where indigenous curriculum
- 46:29Speaker 23: is pustioned.
- 46:30Speaker 10: So we've got people who are being.
- 46:31Speaker 23: Retrained to be uneducated and they're the people who are
- 46:36Speaker 23: going back into classrooms. This sort of activism within primary
- 46:39Speaker 23: secondary and university sector is rife absolutely now.
- 46:43Speaker 3: The Coalition has announced plans to get rid of work
- 46:46Speaker 3: activism and ideological agendas in universities through ministerial intervention in
- 46:51Speaker 3: what is taught in courses. Opposition Education spokeswoman Sarah Henderson
- 46:56Speaker 3: said she would direct the Tertiary Quality Education and Standards
- 47:01Speaker 3: Agency to take action against the indoctrination of students if
- 47:05Speaker 3: the Coalition wins the election. Well, how would that work?
- 47:11Speaker 3: Coaline air And it's all good and well to have
- 47:13Speaker 3: a policy like that, but will it actually be implemented
- 47:17Speaker 3: and will it have any effect on campus level?
- 47:20Speaker 23: Well, hopefully if Senator Henderson becomes the Minister for Education,
- 47:25Speaker 23: hopefully she actually has the courage to see through those
- 47:27Speaker 23: statements because it's one thing to save them and that
- 47:30Speaker 23: it's another thing to actually do them and the Coalition
- 47:33Speaker 23: was in government for a long time and didn't make
- 47:36Speaker 23: the great you know, it didn't make the inroads that
- 47:37Speaker 23: they said that they would. So it is imperative that
- 47:40Speaker 23: students have the right to a non indoctrination environment in
- 47:44Speaker 23: the school and that they get the opportunity to critically analyze.
- 47:48Speaker 10: And to think for themselves.
- 47:49Speaker 23: And as I said, I hope she has the courage
- 47:50Speaker 23: to actually implement what she's saying.
- 47:52Speaker 3: You're so right. We've had successive coalition terms and they
- 47:57Speaker 3: really did very little to tackle this, whether it's at
- 48:00Speaker 3: higher education or primari or secondary school level. Now we're
- 48:05Speaker 3: hearing that special equity provisions for student entry into university courses.
- 48:11Speaker 3: They're supposed to be pretty rare occurrences when someone has
- 48:14Speaker 3: got a genuine issue that is impacting their ATAR score,
- 48:18Speaker 3: But according to fresh Starter, one in three university applicants
- 48:23Speaker 3: are using special access schemes to gain bonus entry points
- 48:27Speaker 3: as equity enrollments reach record highs. Colleen, we've got things
- 48:33Speaker 3: like divorce, disability, poverty. They're amongst the more common equity
- 48:37Speaker 3: provisions being claimed, but one in three, I mean, it's
- 48:41Speaker 3: almost making the entry score seem irrelevant.
- 48:44Speaker 23: It's an extraordinary statistic, and of course through periods in
- 48:48Speaker 23: time where something extraordinary happens during that year twelve year,
- 48:51Speaker 23: and of course special considerations should be given. But that's
- 48:54Speaker 23: the whole the keyword there is special consideration. It ought
- 48:57Speaker 23: not to be as common as thirty percent of the population.
- 49:00Speaker 23: And I personally want to keep my airplanes in the air.
- 49:03Speaker 23: You know, buildings staying afloat, not buildings a float, but
- 49:06Speaker 23: you know, building staying up and in place.
- 49:08Speaker 10: I don't want to have a scenario where we are
- 49:10Speaker 10: at risk.
- 49:11Speaker 23: Of the standard of the students, so I actually can't
- 49:13Speaker 23: do the job that this diversity, equity and inclusion process
- 49:16Speaker 23: has compromised the whole of society really because whatever the
- 49:20Speaker 23: course that their students are doing, if they're not capable
- 49:23Speaker 23: of doing the study, they're simply not capable of doing it.
- 49:26Speaker 10: And we have to be realistic about that.
- 49:28Speaker 3: Now before you go. The University of Sydney has started
- 49:33Speaker 3: hiring a team of academics to help indigenize and decolonize
- 49:37Speaker 3: its courses. One of the new roles is going to
- 49:40Speaker 3: be a Senior Education Design Officer who would be executing
- 49:44Speaker 3: transformative curriculum projects aimed at embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait
- 49:49Speaker 3: Island and knowledge perspectives, texts and media within curriculus projects.
- 49:54Speaker 3: This sounds very much like what we're seeing in secondary schools.
- 49:58Speaker 3: In primary schools. Why stop there?
- 50:00Speaker 23: Why not have it at universities too, correct The activism
- 50:03Speaker 23: in the curriculum is from kindergarten all the way through.
- 50:07Speaker 23: They're just not listening to what the people wanted. We
- 50:10Speaker 23: had a referendum, the result was very clear. It sounds
- 50:12Speaker 23: to me like they're trying to push this division by stealth.
- 50:15Speaker 3: Absolutely. Colin Harkin, thank you so much for your time tonight,
- 50:19Speaker 3: and that's it from May. I'll see you at eleven
- 50:22Speaker 3: tomorrow night. Up next is Newsnight
