Speaker 1: On SCORNELDS, Australia.
0:05
Speaker 2: This is the Reader Panalty Show.
0:09
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Riata Panalty Show. Coming
0:12
Speaker 3: up tonight. Analysis of Tax.
0:14
Speaker 4: Office data shows.
0:15
Speaker 3: Hundreds of thousands of Ozzi's are in the firing line
0:18
Speaker 3: following Jim Chalmer's decision to act the capital gains tax discount.
0:23
Speaker 3: My panel will join me to discuss that and much more.
0:27
Speaker 3: Also joining me tonight is a self proclaimed greedy landlord
0:31
Speaker 3: who reveals why people are missing the bigger picture with
0:35
Speaker 3: these tax changers. Jack Henderson will be here shortly. Sarah
0:39
Speaker 3: Gonzalez will have the latest from the US, including President
0:43
Speaker 3: Trump's game changing endorsement in the Texas primary runoff, and
0:47
Speaker 3: later in the hour, comic Michael Loftus will bring us
0:51
Speaker 3: all the hilarious entertainment news, including a self important dally, celebrities,
0:56
Speaker 3: epic grand and left He is Losing it again stars
1:00
Speaker 3: the ladies of the View who are now claiming Donald
1:03
Speaker 3: Trump lowering drug prices is going to kill everybody.
1:07
Speaker 5: But this is a mistake and once Trump's puts his
1:11
Speaker 5: name on prescriptions, We're all going to die.
1:12
Speaker 3: Okay, But first we were told the Albanesi government's tax
1:16
Speaker 3: hikes would only hit the big end of town. They
1:19
Speaker 3: were very wealthy who don't pay their fair share of
1:22
Speaker 3: tax thanks to sophisticated financial arrangements. But Tax Office data
1:27
Speaker 3: shows that two thirds of those who stood to benefit
1:30
Speaker 3: from the capital gains tax discount were everyday Australians in
1:35
Speaker 3: salaried positions. The Australian Newspapers analysis of the latest Tax
1:39
Speaker 3: Office figures show more than seven hundred and forty thousand
1:42
Speaker 3: WAG and salary earners will be in the firing line
1:46
Speaker 3: by Jim Chalmer's decision to ax the CGT discount. Despite
1:50
Speaker 3: the government framing the change as a move to reward workers,
1:55
Speaker 3: ex Reserve Bank board member John Poynton said he can't
1:58
Speaker 3: see how the tax here would deliver on the government's
2:02
Speaker 3: goal of improving intergenerational equity. He told The Australian Newspaper
2:06
Speaker 3: it's a grab without any commensurate benefit. It's an increase
2:11
Speaker 3: in tax to a sector of people that you could
2:14
Speaker 3: argue you have been pretty productive and pretty responsible and
2:18
Speaker 3: he just sends the wrong signal. Joining me now for
2:22
Speaker 3: more on this is former Labor MP Michael Danby and
2:25
Speaker 3: Verve Communications per McSween Michael. That's the point, isn't it
2:29
Speaker 3: With these tax hikes. They don't seem to benefit any
2:33
Speaker 3: group really, not young people, not renters, not homeowners, not
2:38
Speaker 3: property investors.
2:40
Speaker 4: Who are the winners here.
2:42
Speaker 6: Oh, it's a tax grab, the winners of the government
2:45
Speaker 6: who have an enormous budget which they can't finance, and
2:50
Speaker 6: who should do what Keating or Costello did, and that
2:53
Speaker 6: is cut government expenditures, and they should cut immigration, which
2:59
Speaker 6: is the real reason that young people can't get into housing.
3:03
Speaker 6: These are statistics that you pointed to. The hundreds of
3:07
Speaker 6: thousands of younger people who are wage or salary owners,
3:11
Speaker 6: who are not billionaires, who are going to suffer from
3:14
Speaker 6: this capital gain stacks is again proof of the fact
3:18
Speaker 6: that it's completely misdirected. They are supplementing their income by that.
3:22
Speaker 6: That's sixty six percent of the people who are going
3:24
Speaker 6: to be forced to pay the capital gain stacks.
3:26
Speaker 3: True, the Albanizi government is desperate to frame this as
3:30
Speaker 3: an US versus them battle, the haves against the have nots,
3:34
Speaker 3: Old Australians against young Australians, renters against homeowners.
3:40
Speaker 4: But it's not working.
3:41
Speaker 3: Australian people seem to be seeing through the politics.
3:45
Speaker 7: Absolutely right, and it's amusing because the Albanizi government was
3:49
Speaker 7: clearly against the aged, because they've done appalling things to
3:54
Speaker 7: the aged in our community. And they were really trying
3:57
Speaker 7: to worry the young people, you know, as they have
4:00
Speaker 7: been with social media in various campaigns. But this is
4:04
Speaker 7: really backfired and young people who are aspirational can see
4:09
Speaker 7: through this. They understand that this is an unreasonable, unfair
4:14
Speaker 7: tax and it's going to affect any aspirations they have whatsoever.
4:20
Speaker 7: You know, it's really fascinating to me how this has
4:24
Speaker 7: really made labor a toxic brands. It's not the fact
4:28
Speaker 7: that Albanesi is now so on their nose and virtually
4:31
Speaker 7: every time he opens his mouth, you're totally skeptical, but.
4:36
Speaker 8: You know they really think. You know, these I don't
4:39
Speaker 8: know what they are.
4:39
Speaker 7: The propaganda machine that advises Albanesi, you know, have resorted
4:44
Speaker 7: to the Seinfeld spin where it's not a lie if
4:47
Speaker 7: you believe it, and they clearly believe what they're saying.
4:51
Speaker 8: But frankly, it's going to hurt so many people.
4:54
Speaker 7: And I really find it fascinating that I think long term,
4:58
Speaker 7: while they may think they've got too years, that people
5:02
Speaker 7: will forget about it and that they throw the chooks
5:04
Speaker 7: some sweetener that they may suddenly vote for them.
5:07
Speaker 8: I don't believe that's going to be the case.
5:09
Speaker 7: I think Labor Albanezi are really headed for the skids
5:14
Speaker 7: long term.
5:16
Speaker 8: Now.
5:16
Speaker 3: Tech investors and company founders have been among the loudest
5:20
Speaker 3: voices opposing this capital gains tax change.
5:24
Speaker 4: But there's always one.
5:25
Speaker 3: There's always one dude willing to defend a terrible policy
5:28
Speaker 3: with a terrible argument. AE Tree Ventures co founder Daniel Petrie,
5:34
Speaker 3: who nine Media called one.
5:35
Speaker 4: Of Australia's most successful private technology investors, has blasted his
5:40
Speaker 4: peers for considering a move overseas.
5:43
Speaker 3: He said, I call complete bs that founders or employees
5:48
Speaker 3: are saying they are going to move overseas because of
5:50
Speaker 3: tax I'm just so over rich people who've made money
5:54
Speaker 3: complaining about tax rates. A high net worth advisor told
5:59
Speaker 3: me he was worried because people with four hundred million
6:02
Speaker 3: or more were considering domiciling outside of Australia. I say, well,
6:07
Speaker 3: f them, go on, then go and live in Trump.
6:11
Speaker 3: Trump is stand with the Florida retirees or something. Okay,
6:16
Speaker 3: let's look at some of the responses. Mister Petray's comments
6:21
Speaker 3: got trump Stan spoken like a true ignorant mind slave.
6:27
Speaker 3: He just wants to denigrate people with a different opinion
6:30
Speaker 3: rather than address the issue of complete failure of our
6:33
Speaker 3: government to control their spending. If he thinks increasing taxes
6:37
Speaker 3: across the board will somehow help our society, he can
6:40
Speaker 3: start with himself and jack up his own taxes to
6:42
Speaker 3: ninety percent. Another person said, says the guy that has
6:46
Speaker 3: already well and truly made it enjoyed all the benefits
6:50
Speaker 3: on his way up. And another person said, already rich,
6:53
Speaker 3: made his money in the nineties getting shares from Microsoft.
6:56
Speaker 4: Good on him. He hasn't had to worry about money years. Michael.
7:01
Speaker 3: It's worth noting that much of mister Portray's wealth comes
7:05
Speaker 3: from the Microsoft shares he was given as an employee
7:09
Speaker 3: when he joined the software company in nineteen eighty eight
7:11
Speaker 3: as its Australian managing director. No doubt a very successful individual.
7:17
Speaker 3: But what do you make of his call that it's
7:21
Speaker 3: bs that people are going to go overseas and invest
7:25
Speaker 3: elsewhere because of tax rates.
7:26
Speaker 6: Well, muscles of that he got all of those Microsoft shares,
7:29
Speaker 6: I'm sure as a managing director of that company. He
7:32
Speaker 6: had no role in deciding that, haha. But really primitive
7:38
Speaker 6: to describe the United States of America, which is a
7:41
Speaker 6: very geographically and all kinds of ways diverse country as
7:46
Speaker 6: Trump is done. It just shows you that sort of
7:48
Speaker 6: he's caught the mind virus. I make this prediction. I
7:53
Speaker 6: was the first one to mention on Sky a few
7:55
Speaker 6: days ago the government's effect on stars. I bet you
8:01
Speaker 6: they're going to cave on startups. So mister Petrie, you're
8:04
Speaker 6: not a genius.
8:06
Speaker 4: That's interesting. Well, that's a good prediction from Michael.
8:09
Speaker 3: Is there a chance they will reverse course on these
8:12
Speaker 3: policies altogether?
8:14
Speaker 4: The reaction has.
8:16
Speaker 3: Been almost universally negative, with the exception of this particular
8:21
Speaker 3: individual and a couple of others.
8:23
Speaker 7: I'm skeptical about that, reader, because you know, the hubris
8:26
Speaker 7: of this government, the fact that it has so many seats,
8:31
Speaker 7: I just and the fact also that they're trying to
8:33
Speaker 7: rush it through Parliament. You know, they're really trying to
8:36
Speaker 7: do it before they have a break in July because
8:38
Speaker 7: they don't want the debate. So they're feeling the heat certainly.
8:43
Speaker 7: But there's also you know, this is.
8:45
Speaker 8: Another example of how wrong this.
8:47
Speaker 7: GSDF capital gains tax is that it's again to affect
8:53
Speaker 7: not just the billionaires and millionaires, it's all these mum
8:57
Speaker 7: and dads who are running small businesses, who have put
9:00
Speaker 7: their homes on mortgage, put everything on the line, who
9:04
Speaker 7: wouldn't even have time to leave their business to go
9:07
Speaker 7: in protest because they're working, you know, ridiculous hours and
9:11
Speaker 7: over weekends. They're the people who are going to be
9:14
Speaker 7: affected so greatly by this in unreasonable, immoral tax.
9:20
Speaker 3: Now WA's here as a lefty journalist, I can only
9:24
Speaker 3: assume they're lefty. Questions Opposition leader Angus Taylor about his
9:29
Speaker 3: use of the supposedly unacceptable term mass migration.
9:33
Speaker 2: Ration is not acceptable. Why do you think it is
9:36
Speaker 2: acceptable to use that word?
9:39
Speaker 9: End because we had five hundred and fifty thousand divil
9:41
Speaker 9: come to the country.
9:42
Speaker 10: In a year.
9:43
Speaker 3: Ah, Michael, Surely using the term mass migration to describe
9:49
Speaker 3: mass migration is more than acceptable. I mean we're afraid
9:53
Speaker 3: of accurate terms now.
9:55
Speaker 6: No, and people from New Zealand like that reporter should
9:58
Speaker 6: be allowed to come in too, amongst the one hundred
10:00
Speaker 6: and fifty thousand, But five hundred and fifty thousand is
10:02
Speaker 6: mass immigration? Previously we had high immigration under Philip Ruddock,
10:09
Speaker 6: and under previous labor immigration that was under two hundred thousand.
10:13
Speaker 6: I cannot understand why the government is shooting itself in
10:16
Speaker 6: the foot by keeping this high level of immigration, this
10:19
Speaker 6: mass immigration, a million over this year and the next two.
10:23
Speaker 3: It's one reason because they expect a lot of those
10:26
Speaker 3: migrants to vote for them once they are naturalized.
10:30
Speaker 6: But it's got no internal logic to it, apart from
10:34
Speaker 6: political logic, which you're absolutely right to power.
10:36
Speaker 4: I mean, that's a powerfully narrative.
10:38
Speaker 6: Prue is right before. This is a socialist left government
10:42
Speaker 6: with a huge majority. Hubris, where are the Peter Walsh's
10:46
Speaker 6: Where are the descenders dissidents in this government? Who should
10:50
Speaker 6: be saying to the ministers you're mad you've gone too far?
10:55
Speaker 4: Yes, well, I don't think you'd last too long in
10:58
Speaker 4: this that's the problem. A big majority you can do.
11:06
Speaker 10: Now.
11:06
Speaker 3: Shadow Treasurer Tim Wilson spoke at the National Press Club today.
11:11
Speaker 3: I want to show who this question posed to him
11:14
Speaker 3: by Matthew Cranston about bracket creep last year.
11:18
Speaker 11: I asked Angus Taylor, how many people in Western Sydney
11:21
Speaker 11: know what bracket creep is. I'm going to ask you today,
11:25
Speaker 11: how many One nation voters do you think know what
11:27
Speaker 11: bracket creep is?
11:29
Speaker 4: Ah?
11:30
Speaker 3: True, that seems a little bit elitist, a little bit
11:34
Speaker 3: of out of touch, this notion that One nation voters
11:39
Speaker 3: are ignorant about bracket creep. They can't even understand the
11:43
Speaker 3: notion of bracket creep.
11:45
Speaker 7: Totally condescending, but they will notice it when they see
11:49
Speaker 7: what money is being taken out of their paycheck by
11:53
Speaker 7: this government. And that's the plain and simple truth about
11:57
Speaker 7: it and the reality of it. And so he may
12:02
Speaker 7: be condescending towards the One nation voters, but they're not
12:06
Speaker 7: that dumb. They're right onto this government and what they're
12:09
Speaker 7: doing to this country.
12:11
Speaker 8: So you know, go for your life.
12:13
Speaker 7: Any journalist who wants to stick it up on one Nation,
12:16
Speaker 7: you know you're just going to lose viewers, readers, because
12:20
Speaker 7: most of the One nation people are onto you. They
12:23
Speaker 7: know that the media are very biased in a lot
12:26
Speaker 7: of quarters.
12:28
Speaker 6: And there's certainly no dumber than Green voters.
12:31
Speaker 4: Well, please, I would love to see a test there
12:36
Speaker 4: between your average Green voter. I'm talking about the Greens.
12:39
Speaker 3: I's going to South Australia, where Green's MPs were seen
12:43
Speaker 3: walking out of the South Australian Parliament in protest during
12:48
Speaker 3: Kobernardi's maiden speech. Let's see what the New One Nation
12:52
Speaker 3: mp said. They got the Greens so fired up.
12:56
Speaker 1: The media is silent.
12:57
Speaker 7: Well, the government allows doctors to mutilate children in the
13:00
Speaker 7: name of gender affirming care. To me, it's sheer madness
13:03
Speaker 7: that can be counted with a common sense analogy through.
13:06
Speaker 3: The Greens can't even tolerate hearing other opinions, and on
13:11
Speaker 3: that particular topic what Bernardi just said there is very
13:14
Speaker 3: much a mainstream opinion.
13:16
Speaker 8: It's totally.
13:17
Speaker 7: I mean, look, the Greens are a party of irrelevance now,
13:20
Speaker 7: you know all that probably the vegetables that they are
13:24
Speaker 7: going to their brain, the gases or whatever going to
13:27
Speaker 7: their brain. I mean, they're so wrapped into global politics
13:32
Speaker 7: and I've never heard one of them want to hug
13:35
Speaker 7: a tree for so long. Now it's all everything else
13:38
Speaker 7: other than the environment. So you know, good on your corey,
13:42
Speaker 7: You've struck a nerve. Keep going because anything that offends
13:45
Speaker 7: the Green's got to be right.
13:49
Speaker 4: Are they becoming irrelevant?
13:50
Speaker 3: All the focus these days seems to be on one nation,
13:55
Speaker 3: their surge in support. They have similar numbers to the
13:58
Speaker 3: Greens and look at where they are, but what is
14:01
Speaker 3: their influence because they have succeeded in pulling Labor to
14:05
Speaker 3: the left and without them, Labor couldn't be in power
14:09
Speaker 3: without their preferences.
14:11
Speaker 6: It's green theater to walk out on Corey Bernardi over
14:14
Speaker 6: the transisue. I bet you're not a single one of
14:16
Speaker 6: them have read the cast Inquiry in the United Kingdom
14:19
Speaker 6: into the effect on younger people of these gender affirming surgeries.
14:25
Speaker 6: We should be very kind to trans people, but we
14:28
Speaker 6: should be looking after under eighteen year olds and that
14:31
Speaker 6: to your point about the Greens. I'm worried about the
14:34
Speaker 6: next day election read I think they have too many
14:37
Speaker 6: seats already. If Labor is reduced and the Greens keep
14:40
Speaker 6: the seats that they've got, there might be a worse
14:43
Speaker 6: government than there even is now with the Greens. Labor
14:46
Speaker 6: Alliance managed to scrape in to beat the Liberals, and
14:50
Speaker 6: both Liberal and Labour need to look seriously at giving
14:53
Speaker 6: preferences against the Green political Party, who are absolutely poisonous
14:58
Speaker 6: influence in Australia.
14:59
Speaker 3: Michael dan pri McSween thank you so much for your time. Now,
15:03
Speaker 3: my next guest is a self proclaimed greedy landlord who
15:06
Speaker 3: has amassed a sixty million dollar property portfolio. Henderson Advocacy
15:11
Speaker 3: founder Jack Henderson joins me now from Sydney. Jack, you
15:15
Speaker 3: say the changes to negative gearing, capital gains, tax and
15:19
Speaker 3: trusts are a disgrace and won't benefit young Australians or
15:24
Speaker 3: improve affordability. But our friends in labor would say you
15:29
Speaker 3: are part of the problem the Albanesi government is trying
15:32
Speaker 3: to fix.
15:33
Speaker 12: I know, I mean, I do love negative gearing, and
15:35
Speaker 12: I've got a hat that says it. But unfortunately the
15:41
Speaker 12: whole intergenerational inequality that they're trying to solve doesn't really
15:47
Speaker 12: work when you're essentially grandfathering all of the things that
15:51
Speaker 12: have made so called boomers and people like me even
15:55
Speaker 12: very wealthy, and yet the young people who they're trying
15:58
Speaker 12: to help get none of the benefit, and all they're
16:02
Speaker 12: going to get is an increase in their rent price.
16:05
Speaker 3: Now they say the increase in rent price is just
16:08
Speaker 3: going to be two dollars a week.
16:10
Speaker 4: How accurate do you think that is?
16:13
Speaker 12: I'm not sure. I mean two dollars a week's one hundred.
16:16
Speaker 12: You know, two dollars a week, I have a fifty
16:17
Speaker 12: two weeks is one hundred dollars a year.
16:21
Speaker 8: I don't.
16:21
Speaker 12: I don't really see how that's that's going to work,
16:24
Speaker 12: especially when you know, depending on where you live, the
16:27
Speaker 12: median rent in a major city is probably somewhere between
16:30
Speaker 12: six hundred and fifty to seven hundred dollars per week,
16:33
Speaker 12: not per year. So you know, I mean, I know
16:37
Speaker 12: a lot of investors. We've got a lot of investment clients.
16:39
Speaker 12: I've got a lot of friends that own a lot
16:41
Speaker 12: of investment properties, and I can assure you it'll be
16:45
Speaker 12: a minimum five to ten percent increase when the next
16:49
Speaker 12: rental increase comes around.
16:52
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
16:53
Speaker 3: We saw that happen the last time they messed with
16:55
Speaker 3: negative gearing. We've seen it happen recently in New Zealand.
16:58
Speaker 3: It is obvious and the rental pool is diminishing, and
17:01
Speaker 3: that's going to push up rents as well. Now you say,
17:04
Speaker 3: people are also missing the bigger picture here with the
17:07
Speaker 3: capital gains tax changes, because they're going to apply across
17:11
Speaker 3: all asset classes, not just property, So it isn't simply
17:15
Speaker 3: an anti property investor change. It changes the incentive structures
17:20
Speaker 3: around investing more broadly in Australia. But it does seem
17:25
Speaker 3: to be sold as an anti property investor change. Is
17:29
Speaker 3: that because the government thinks it's a winning strategy to
17:32
Speaker 3: attack property investors.
17:34
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's a narrative, right. I mean, if it was
17:36
Speaker 12: just property, they would have just targeted capital gains tax
17:40
Speaker 12: and negative gearing on property. But you know, I think
17:43
Speaker 12: people forget they have changed the Stage three tax carts,
17:46
Speaker 12: they have changed superinnuation taxation with the Division two ninety six,
17:50
Speaker 12: and now they've changed capital gains tax on all assets.
17:54
Speaker 12: And for crafty people who thought maybe we can get
17:57
Speaker 12: ahead by paying a little bit less tax by using
18:00
Speaker 12: a trust or, they said, no, that isn't happening. We're
18:03
Speaker 12: going to We're going to give you a flat rate
18:05
Speaker 12: of thirty percent tax on trust as well. And then
18:08
Speaker 12: you think about all the people that run out of
18:10
Speaker 12: a trust structure generally, you know that the biggest chunk
18:14
Speaker 12: of those people are normal everyday small business owners in
18:17
Speaker 12: Australia who are just trying to optimize their position. Think
18:20
Speaker 12: about the cost associated with them now having to go
18:23
Speaker 12: through and try and restructure their positions with accounting fees,
18:27
Speaker 12: potential stamp duty implications, potentially capital gains tax implementations implications
18:33
Speaker 12: if they have to, you know, sell a business into another,
18:36
Speaker 12: into another entity, like the people that they're affecting, the
18:40
Speaker 12: exact people that they're saying they're trying to help. So
18:43
Speaker 12: you know, the messaging doesn't doesn't really align with reality.
18:47
Speaker 8: And you know, the.
18:48
Speaker 12: Wealthiest people in Australia have the most amount of resources
18:52
Speaker 12: to go to their accountants and advisors and always find
18:56
Speaker 12: a way to maximize their position where the normal everyday
19:00
Speaker 12: train doesn't have the luxury of that, and unfortunately they're
19:03
Speaker 12: going to be the people who feel it the most.
19:06
Speaker 3: Now before you go, you gained headlines recently for saying
19:09
Speaker 3: if people can't afford to live in Sydney, then they
19:12
Speaker 3: should essentially stop complaining and move somewhere where they can
19:15
Speaker 3: afford to buy a property. To me, that is not
19:20
Speaker 3: such a controversial thing to say. But tell us something
19:22
Speaker 3: about the backlashy cop there?
19:24
Speaker 12: Yeah, well, I mean I think the backlash was cops
19:26
Speaker 12: because it was taken out of context. What I said
19:29
Speaker 12: was if you can't afford to buy a home in Sydney,
19:32
Speaker 12: then that shouldn't be a bad thing. I mean, if
19:35
Speaker 12: you live in Sydney. It is one of the greatest
19:37
Speaker 12: cities in the world. It's one of the cities that
19:39
Speaker 12: has the most opportunities in the world, and unfortunately it's
19:42
Speaker 12: where some of the wealthiest people in the world live,
19:45
Speaker 12: which means, of course it's going to be expensive, but
19:47
Speaker 12: it doesn't mean you can't rent in Sydney and then
19:50
Speaker 12: go and buy investment properties in other locations that are
19:53
Speaker 12: more affordable. The reality is Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, all these
19:57
Speaker 12: cities are not going to get cheaper over the next five, ten, fifteen,
20:00
Speaker 12: twenty years are going to get more expensive because there's
20:02
Speaker 12: a scarcity of land and there's obviously an ever increasing
20:05
Speaker 12: population that the Labor government continues to push into Australia
20:09
Speaker 12: on top of our organic growth. So when there's a
20:13
Speaker 12: limited amount of supply and ever increasing amount of people
20:16
Speaker 12: who want to live there, it's going to get more expensive.
20:18
Speaker 12: And if you keep, you know, living into the old
20:20
Speaker 12: narrative that maybe our parents were able to buy in
20:23
Speaker 12: Sydney and your we should be able to then you're
20:24
Speaker 12: only going to get further and further behind.
20:28
Speaker 3: And you also have to just readjust your expectations, you know,
20:32
Speaker 3: perhaps your first property is going to be a flat
20:34
Speaker 3: in an undesirable suburb. But that doesn't mean it's going
20:37
Speaker 3: to be your final property. It's just how you enter
20:40
Speaker 3: the market. And I think again, there's some expectations that
20:44
Speaker 3: are just out of control.
20:46
Speaker 4: That you think you're going.
20:46
Speaker 3: To get your dream home with your first purchase. It
20:49
Speaker 3: ain't going to happen. Jack Kenderson, it's been a pleasure.
20:52
Speaker 3: Thanks for your time. Tonight, It's still to come. Lefties
20:55
Speaker 3: Losing Ad plus the latest from the US, including President
20:59
Speaker 3: Trump's game changing endorsement in Texas. Sarah Gonzalez is up next.
21:14
Speaker 3: You're watching the Reader Panehy Show, and it's time for
21:17
Speaker 3: Lefty's Losing It. And we're used to new absurd pronouns
21:21
Speaker 3: dropping every other day. Well here is a new job
21:24
Speaker 3: title les just as absurd. This lady is a boundary coach.
21:29
Speaker 3: She teaches others not to get proper healthcare.
21:32
Speaker 13: If I don't want to step on the scale of
21:33
Speaker 13: the doctors, I say, oh, I don't want to be
21:35
Speaker 13: weighed today. If I don't want to talk about my fatness,
21:38
Speaker 13: said the doctor, I say, oh, I'm not here to
21:40
Speaker 13: talk about my weight. I'm here to talk about fill
21:42
Speaker 13: in the blank. Whatever the issue is. If they refuse
21:45
Speaker 13: to test me for certain things because of my fatness,
21:47
Speaker 13: I say, I would like it noted in my chart
21:50
Speaker 13: that you were refusing to test me for X, Y
21:52
Speaker 13: and Z. It's not relevant to what we're here to discuss,
21:55
Speaker 13: So I'm not going to do that today. I'm Kemi Orange.
21:57
Speaker 13: I'm a boundary coach, and I help people. See the thing?
22:00
Speaker 4: Does she think the doctor is weighing her for fun
22:03
Speaker 4: for giggles? Probably has something to do with your health.
22:06
Speaker 5: Love.
22:07
Speaker 3: Now, we've seen President Trump be very magnanimous. Indeed, this
22:11
Speaker 3: week he put aside his feud with fellow billionaire Mark Cuban,
22:14
Speaker 3: a man who not only endorsed and donated to Kamala Harris,
22:18
Speaker 3: but has peppered the president with ugly abuse, including this
22:24
Speaker 3: cringe fest with Stephen Colbert.
22:26
Speaker 2: Oh, Donald, he.
22:27
Speaker 14: Just dropped you like one of your first two wives.
22:33
Speaker 15: You're shining orange and empty inside.
22:38
Speaker 14: I'd say you're a traffic com but.
22:41
Speaker 15: I would swerve to avoid a traffic curR.
22:43
Speaker 10: Oh alert Cuban, Donald, do you know you have to
22:52
Speaker 10: be a billionaire?
22:53
Speaker 14: You have to have a billion part in your bank account.
22:58
Speaker 1: Not just the air. Can you just fell through the
23:03
Speaker 1: shark tank?
23:05
Speaker 14: Donald, I know you have no shot with the.
23:08
Speaker 2: Spanics because there's no.
23:10
Speaker 4: Way in hell you're kidding not.
23:12
Speaker 15: Can you then vote?
23:18
Speaker 3: That was painful, and that trattesty went on for several
23:22
Speaker 3: more minutes.
23:22
Speaker 4: But I've sped you that pain.
23:24
Speaker 14: And for the.
23:25
Speaker 3: Record, Cubans backed Donald Trump strongly. Anyway, that's neither here
23:30
Speaker 3: or there. This week, Donald Trump was ready to forgive,
23:34
Speaker 3: if not forget, Mark Cuban's antics in order to promote
23:38
Speaker 3: cheaper prescription drugs. Is simply said, Mark Cuban made a
23:42
Speaker 3: big mistake.
23:44
Speaker 2: Fact then obviously Mark condors Kamala Harris back in twenty twenty, well,
23:47
Speaker 2: he made a mistake. What does this say about what
23:52
Speaker 2: you two are building here?
23:53
Speaker 15: As our volumes go up, our costs go down, which
23:57
Speaker 15: means we'll be ending up charging less to people over
24:00
Speaker 15: period of time.
24:01
Speaker 3: That corporation between Trump and Cuban to deliver cheaper drugs.
24:05
Speaker 4: Had the ladies of the view fuming.
24:08
Speaker 3: Here is the always rational joy Behar claiming that we're
24:12
Speaker 3: all going to die.
24:13
Speaker 5: First of all, you lie down with dogs, you wake
24:16
Speaker 5: up with crip, all right, And you know, I like
24:20
Speaker 5: Mark Cuban. I've always liked him, but this is this
24:23
Speaker 5: is a mistake. And once once Trumps puts his name
24:25
Speaker 5: on prescriptions, we're all going to die.
24:27
Speaker 4: Okay.
24:29
Speaker 3: If you lie down with dogs, you do wake up
24:31
Speaker 3: with fleas. That's why you'll never see me on the view. Now,
24:34
Speaker 3: this is incredible, this meltdown. It went on and on,
24:38
Speaker 3: including this gotcha from genius Sonny Houston, who claims billionaire
24:44
Speaker 3: Donald Trump is a failed businessman and he only wants
24:48
Speaker 3: to lull prescription drugs because he's obsessed with wealth, not health.
24:52
Speaker 5: He's going to make a profit out of that.
24:54
Speaker 4: Don't take it.
24:55
Speaker 16: I don't.
24:59
Speaker 12: Know.
24:59
Speaker 10: He is a failed businessman. And if you heard what
25:03
Speaker 10: he said, he said we both want to make people wealthy.
25:07
Speaker 10: He didn't say so ten times more lives to me
25:13
Speaker 10: that there's something in it for him. This is not
25:15
Speaker 10: a well intentioned president.
25:18
Speaker 3: Seriously, some of these women are in need of professional help.
25:22
Speaker 3: Perhaps they need to up their prescriptions, whatever uppers, whatever
25:26
Speaker 3: antipsychotics they're taking on working now. The Democrats in Tennessee
25:31
Speaker 3: have well and truly lost it. Among them, the hopelessly
25:34
Speaker 3: inauthentic Justin Pearson. Quick reminder of his transformation from articulate
25:40
Speaker 3: young man to Democrat race Beata Dustin g.
25:44
Speaker 14: Pierson and I'm running for president of PSG. There are
25:47
Speaker 14: a few reasons that we're running this campaign this year.
25:49
Speaker 2: One has to do with representation.
25:51
Speaker 12: You've had three strikes, Lules, Mass and conservation deny us
25:55
Speaker 12: of who we are, and we are still here and today.
26:00
Speaker 15: Take the majority of Black district from us.
26:04
Speaker 3: Well, Justin's transformation is almost complete. He is now grappling
26:08
Speaker 3: with state troopers and the transformation continues. He is ready
26:25
Speaker 3: to be the first male member of the squad at
26:28
Speaker 3: this rate. He's pentn a self serving piece for Rolling Stones,
26:32
Speaker 3: claiming that America was built on slavery and genocide and
26:36
Speaker 3: the sort of insurrection we are seeing in the Tennessee
26:39
Speaker 3: State capital is righteous and very much necessary. Let's bring
26:44
Speaker 3: in hosts of Sarah Gonzales Unfiltered on Blaze TV and
26:48
Speaker 3: VP of the Texas Family Project, Sarah Gonzalez, Welcome to
26:52
Speaker 3: the program.
26:53
Speaker 4: The Democrats are not coping.
26:56
Speaker 3: Well with democracy, whether it's railing against election integri measures
27:00
Speaker 3: or Supreme Court decisions that stop racist jerry mandering.
27:06
Speaker 14: Yeah, thank you so much for having me.
27:07
Speaker 10: Rita.
27:07
Speaker 16: You know, it's interesting. I want to do a poll,
27:11
Speaker 16: an informal poll of your viewers, and I would like
27:13
Speaker 16: to know who does code switching the best.
27:16
Speaker 14: Is it Pearson? Is it Kamala Harris? Is it Hillary Clinton?
27:19
Speaker 16: Because all of these Democrats have all of these new
27:21
Speaker 16: accents that they start, you know, depending on where they are. Look,
27:25
Speaker 16: Democrats don't care about democracy. It is simply a buzzword
27:29
Speaker 16: that they use because every time they have an opportunity
27:31
Speaker 16: to embrace it. Every time they have an opportunity to
27:34
Speaker 16: you know, accept the results of an election or to
27:37
Speaker 16: not impeach a president two times, like President Donald Trump
27:40
Speaker 16: over bogus reasons, every time they have an opportunity, they
27:43
Speaker 16: don't choose to accept it because it turns out, actually,
27:47
Speaker 16: I'm sure you know this and your viewers do as well.
27:49
Speaker 16: The Democrats have no values, they have no principles, they
27:51
Speaker 16: have no morals. This is simply politically opportunistic. They are
27:55
Speaker 16: politically opportunistic and the ends justifies the means for them.
27:58
Speaker 16: And so when they want to use the term democracy,
28:00
Speaker 16: they'll use it, but they have absolutely no intention of
28:03
Speaker 16: actually abiding by it. It's what they will do again
28:06
Speaker 16: when they get power it's why they try to remove
28:08
Speaker 16: President Trump from the ballot in twenty twenty four. Their
28:11
Speaker 16: actions speak far louder than their words, and their actions
28:14
Speaker 16: prove they are not interested at all in any form
28:16
Speaker 16: of democracy.
28:17
Speaker 4: And that's why the midterms are so important.
28:20
Speaker 3: Now, Sarah, to your state, the Loan style state, the
28:23
Speaker 3: great state of Texas.
28:24
Speaker 4: And this is big.
28:25
Speaker 3: President Trump has just buck National Senate Republicans and endorsed
28:30
Speaker 3: Ken Paxton, that's the Texas Attorney General, and is endorsed
28:34
Speaker 3: team instead of incumbent John Cornan in the GOP Texas
28:39
Speaker 3: primary runoff. Sarah, tell my audience why this is so significant.
28:44
Speaker 14: I'm so glad that you asked me. Reader.
28:46
Speaker 16: This is obviously near and dear to my heart, being
28:48
Speaker 16: here in the state of Texas and having to endure
28:50
Speaker 16: the tenure of John Cornyn, the Rhino John Cornyn. So
28:53
Speaker 16: here's what happened in the primary back in March over well,
28:57
Speaker 16: nearly sixty percent of Republican primary voters decided they were
29:01
Speaker 16: voting against the incumbent John Cornyn because we were ready
29:04
Speaker 16: for a change, and so we got to the runoff
29:06
Speaker 16: and the day after the primary, when nearly sixty percent
29:09
Speaker 16: of Republican voters voted against John Cornyn. President Trump came
29:12
Speaker 16: out and said he was going to endorse someone, and
29:14
Speaker 16: once he made that endorsement, the other person needed to
29:17
Speaker 16: drop out. Well, what happened was just a flurry of
29:21
Speaker 16: public pressure from Texans, grassroots activists in Texas saying President Trump,
29:25
Speaker 16: do not do this, do not endorse John Cornyn. We
29:27
Speaker 16: don't want him. We're ready for a change. He held
29:30
Speaker 16: off for eleven weeks Rita. And after that eleven weeks
29:33
Speaker 16: that he held off on an endorsement, he saw the
29:35
Speaker 16: writing on the wall. He saw that Texans are ready
29:37
Speaker 16: for a change. We want someone to actually represent us
29:40
Speaker 16: as constituents, and he went ahead and endorsed Ken Paxton.
29:43
Speaker 16: And I'd like to just say shout out to Ken
29:45
Speaker 16: Paxton for the greatest political maneuver possibly of all time,
29:49
Speaker 16: in that he right away came out and said if
29:52
Speaker 16: President Trump endorses John Cornyn, I will happily drop out.
29:55
Speaker 16: As long as John Cornyan passes and pushes through the
29:59
Speaker 16: Save Americ Act, which of course would protect voter integrity.
30:02
Speaker 16: We saw what happened because John Cornyn and John Thun,
30:04
Speaker 16: the Senate majority leader, are not interested in voter integrity,
30:07
Speaker 16: and they're not interested in making our election safer, and
30:11
Speaker 16: that wager turned out very well for the soon to
30:15
Speaker 16: be I will just.
30:15
Speaker 14: Put it into the universe. Senator can Paxton, Yes, let's
30:20
Speaker 14: manifest that.
30:21
Speaker 4: Explain to me.
30:22
Speaker 3: I still don't fully understand why someone like Cornan would
30:27
Speaker 3: not back election integrity, why he has been, even in
30:31
Speaker 3: Red Texas, the red state of Texas, such a Republican
30:36
Speaker 3: in name only.
30:38
Speaker 4: What's behind that?
30:39
Speaker 3: Is that his own personal ideology or is this some
30:43
Speaker 3: other motivation?
30:45
Speaker 16: Well, I mean, the problem, reader, is that I can't
30:47
Speaker 16: quite explain the inexplicable, because it is actually inexplicable and
30:51
Speaker 16: indefensible that John Cornyan would not support something.
30:54
Speaker 14: That, mind you, not even yes, we are a.
30:57
Speaker 16: Red state barely by the way, we are a red
30:59
Speaker 16: state still, but also eighty percent of voters nationwide, Republican
31:04
Speaker 16: and Democrat, all agree that you should have to prove
31:07
Speaker 16: that you are who you say you are before you vote.
31:09
Speaker 16: So this isn't a bypart. This is a bipartisan issue.
31:12
Speaker 16: This is not some sort of a you know, a
31:15
Speaker 16: partisan issue where it's just Republicans that want to push
31:17
Speaker 16: this through. Democrats by and large across the country agree
31:21
Speaker 16: on this issue. So the fact that John Cornyan and
31:23
Speaker 16: John Thun would not agree to that tells you a
31:26
Speaker 16: lot about who they really are. It tells you a
31:28
Speaker 16: lot about whose back pocket they are in. And the
31:30
Speaker 16: fact that the Republican machine spent one hundred million dollars
31:33
Speaker 16: to try to keep a week Republican in office, John Cornan,
31:38
Speaker 16: it really speaks volumes about the political machine in DC
31:42
Speaker 16: and just how swampy and disgusting it gets out there
31:45
Speaker 16: that they wouldn't spend that money towards other candidates, Conservative
31:48
Speaker 16: candidates who actually deserve that money. And so I hope
31:52
Speaker 16: that President Trump will address that very soon, because it's
31:54
Speaker 16: a hold up. It's a big problem here in this
31:57
Speaker 16: country that the House can pass all of this conservative
31:59
Speaker 16: ledge advancing President Trump's agenda, and they all know it
32:03
Speaker 16: is going to get stalled in the Senate under John
32:06
Speaker 16: Foon and John Cornyn's leadership. So hopefully that will change soon.
32:10
Speaker 3: Now let's go to California and see how Democrats promote
32:14
Speaker 3: their candidates. This is a campaign event for Democrat for
32:18
Speaker 3: Congress Scott Wiener.
32:22
Speaker 13: Is a.
32:27
Speaker 2: Health care signs for a girls.
32:36
Speaker 4: Sarah All.
32:37
Speaker 3: They have to do is not be crazy, and they
32:41
Speaker 3: just can't manage to pull that off, can they.
32:44
Speaker 16: No, they can't read it, because unfortunately they are just that.
32:48
Speaker 16: I mean, I would like to send a message to
32:50
Speaker 16: all of the Democrats who are running with these weird
32:53
Speaker 16: degenerate you know, campaign spokespeople and these weird degenerate campaign events.
32:58
Speaker 14: Oh no, I'm I'm so scared of that on your screen.
33:02
Speaker 14: That would be terrible.
33:03
Speaker 16: If they kept doing things like this and publicizing all
33:07
Speaker 16: of their weirdness, that would be horrible. I'm really scared
33:10
Speaker 16: of running up against that in the midterms.
33:12
Speaker 14: I mean, it is.
33:13
Speaker 16: Really truly unbelievable how crazy they are. They didn't get
33:17
Speaker 16: the notice, they didn't get the memo after November of
33:20
Speaker 16: twenty twenty four that this was kind of the reason,
33:23
Speaker 16: this was part of the overwhelming reason that people didn't
33:25
Speaker 16: vote for them in November of twenty twenty four, because
33:28
Speaker 16: it was sanity or it was that, and the American
33:31
Speaker 16: people by and large are always going to choose sanity
33:34
Speaker 16: over whatever weirdness degenerate candidates are on display for the Democrats.
33:39
Speaker 16: But they don't know how to course correct. They only
33:41
Speaker 16: know how to double down. And I think that's why
33:43
Speaker 16: you see Scott Wiener's campaign event and whatever that was
33:47
Speaker 16: in a diaper.
33:50
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I played as short clip there.
33:54
Speaker 3: I could have played a longer one, which would have
33:55
Speaker 3: disturbed the audience even more. Now saying in California, I
34:01
Speaker 3: took one for the team and had to look at
34:03
Speaker 3: it myself, and I thought, no, it's too much.
34:06
Speaker 4: Now let's have.
34:07
Speaker 3: A look at the latest clever ad from independent La
34:11
Speaker 3: meroral candidate Spencer Pratt.
34:13
Speaker 15: Now this is a story all about how my life
34:16
Speaker 15: got turned upside down, and I had a ticket a minute.
34:19
Speaker 14: It's a rough board, man.
34:20
Speaker 15: I'll tell you how I became the prince of a
34:22
Speaker 15: town called bel Air, West, Los Angeles, Pallisades in my
34:26
Speaker 15: backyard as worst spend most of my days fitting humming birds,
34:29
Speaker 15: relaxing our pool, affording all the bones outside of the school.
34:32
Speaker 15: When a couple of politicians the world are no good
34:35
Speaker 15: started making trouble in my neighborhood, I got of one
34:38
Speaker 15: little fire. My mom got scared and said, you're moving
34:40
Speaker 15: in with Harvey Levin and bel Air.
34:43
Speaker 4: Sarah.
34:43
Speaker 3: Tell me about the media campaign we're now seeing against
34:46
Speaker 3: Spencer Pratt. His poll numbers are getting stronger, and the
34:51
Speaker 3: media campaign is really ramping up. He mentioned Harvey Levin
34:55
Speaker 3: there from TMZ. It's not just TMZ, it's so many
34:59
Speaker 3: hit p are being published about him, and some of
35:02
Speaker 3: them are frankly ridiculous. This is a supposed gotcha exposing
35:07
Speaker 3: that Spencer Pratt and his wife had at a meal
35:10
Speaker 3: at a restaurant despite alleged death threats. I mean, what
35:15
Speaker 3: is the media so scared of? You would think someone
35:19
Speaker 3: who's a breath of fresh air in politics would be
35:21
Speaker 3: someone that they could at least give a clean run,
35:25
Speaker 3: to just play it down the middle and not be
35:28
Speaker 3: bias state the way.
35:30
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, they can't do that.
35:32
Speaker 16: They're incapable of that, especially because you know, they are
35:34
Speaker 16: obviously in bed with the Democrat Party, and when you
35:37
Speaker 16: have the debates, they already had some debates and you
35:39
Speaker 16: had you know, the Democrat candidates Karen Bass and Nathia
35:42
Speaker 16: Rahman calling Spencer Pratt, you know, an ultramaga guy.
35:47
Speaker 14: And so the media has now latched on.
35:48
Speaker 16: They're chomping at the bit to latch on to something
35:50
Speaker 16: that they can throw at Spencer Pratt, even though he's
35:52
Speaker 16: completely reasonable. And so that's why you see this media,
35:56
Speaker 16: this up ramp of media attacks against him. Now, what
35:59
Speaker 16: I find laugh is that they think that it's somehow
36:01
Speaker 16: a gotcha to say Spencer Pratt and wife Heidi dined
36:05
Speaker 16: out amidst a death threats.
36:07
Speaker 14: Here's what that tells me two things.
36:09
Speaker 16: Number One, they're very courageous, I guess, for going out
36:12
Speaker 16: and being in public despite death threats against them. But
36:14
Speaker 16: more importantly, number two, why are they dining out in restaurants? Oh,
36:19
Speaker 16: that's right because current Democrat leadership let their house burn down,
36:23
Speaker 16: had no water to put it out, and now.
36:26
Speaker 14: Won't let them rebuild.
36:28
Speaker 16: So it's just laughable that they think that these attacks
36:30
Speaker 16: are going to work. There was another one that Spencer
36:32
Speaker 16: Pratt doesn't really live in the airstream trailer.
36:35
Speaker 14: He's staying at a hotel.
36:36
Speaker 16: It's like, oh my gosh, how dare he want his
36:39
Speaker 16: wife and children to be comfortable while they have no
36:42
Speaker 16: home because of Democrat leadership.
36:45
Speaker 14: So it's really laughable.
36:46
Speaker 16: I think every time they attack Spencer Pratt, he goes
36:49
Speaker 16: up in the polls, which is fine by me because
36:51
Speaker 16: I think, as far as I'm concerned, this is Los
36:54
Speaker 16: Angeles's last dying grasp. At some sort of sanity and
36:58
Speaker 16: to try to turn that once beautiful city around.
37:03
Speaker 4: Well, they have everything going for them, don't they.
37:05
Speaker 3: La They have every natural advantage, beautiful weather, beautiful beaches,
37:10
Speaker 3: just everything going their way, and the place is so dysfunctional,
37:15
Speaker 3: so full of crime, poverty.
37:18
Speaker 4: Drug issues. It just shows you that.
37:21
Speaker 3: When you have this one party rule in a city,
37:25
Speaker 3: it's going to end badly. And really, is there anywhere
37:28
Speaker 3: in America if you objectively look, that has had this
37:31
Speaker 3: one party rule, has had Democrats ruling without really any challenge,
37:36
Speaker 3: that is thriving, that is actually a place where people
37:39
Speaker 3: are moving to as opposed to leaving in droves.
37:42
Speaker 2: No.
37:43
Speaker 16: No, there is not one place that I could point
37:45
Speaker 16: you to Rita where you can say, hey, here is
37:48
Speaker 16: a here's a perfect representation of good Democrat leadership.
37:51
Speaker 14: It's all run down cities.
37:53
Speaker 16: It's all Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, even the
37:58
Speaker 16: city of Dallas. Here in a red state, even the
38:00
Speaker 16: blue cities are suffering from crime, from drug addiction, from homelessness.
38:05
Speaker 16: I mean, this is really a true crisis in this country.
38:08
Speaker 16: And again, I think not just Los Angeles, but I
38:10
Speaker 16: think the state of California has the opportunity to turn
38:13
Speaker 16: things around if they show up and if they vote,
38:16
Speaker 16: because one thing is true, if they look at the
38:20
Speaker 16: common denominator of what has who has been in charge
38:23
Speaker 16: all of these decades that they have gone further and
38:26
Speaker 16: further down the drain, the common denominator is the Democrat Party.
38:30
Speaker 16: And so I hope that Spencer Pratt is successful because,
38:33
Speaker 16: as you said, I mean, last time I was in
38:34
Speaker 16: Los Angeles, Rita. We got out of the car. We
38:37
Speaker 16: parked near Hollywood Boulevard. We got out of the car
38:40
Speaker 16: and we just immediately walked into some guy like smoking crack.
38:45
Speaker 16: It's just like, oh, hello, broad daylight, Welcome to La.
38:49
Speaker 16: I mean, it is really really disgusting, very unsafe. But
38:53
Speaker 16: that's what happens with Democrat leadership every single time.
38:57
Speaker 3: Now, before you go, I played a little of the
39:00
Speaker 3: Luigi Mangioni groupies last night, just feral footage of vile,
39:07
Speaker 3: vile young women who are just so callous.
39:21
Speaker 16: I said what I said, his children are better off
39:25
Speaker 16: about him.
39:25
Speaker 14: They need to be like the Troy, the blood money and.
39:32
Speaker 4: Sarah. How do you coexist with that? Seriously?
39:36
Speaker 3: How does one person how do you reason with people
39:40
Speaker 3: who not just justify cold blood and murder, but are
39:44
Speaker 3: comfortable on camera mocking the children of the murdered victim.
39:50
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's a great question.
39:51
Speaker 16: I mean, the fact of the matter is this is
39:53
Speaker 16: really and truly a battle of good and evil here
39:56
Speaker 16: in this country. And that right there is a perfect
39:59
Speaker 16: representation of what I mean when I'm talking about that.
40:02
Speaker 16: The fact that people have lost their humanity, the fact
40:05
Speaker 16: that people can have such callous disregard for life and
40:08
Speaker 16: for life of children is actually truly shocking. But I
40:12
Speaker 16: will tell you this political violence is revered by one side.
40:15
Speaker 16: It is completely and utterly not condoned by one, and
40:19
Speaker 16: it is revered by the other. And I'll let you
40:21
Speaker 16: figure out which ones those are. These are evil, vile communists,
40:25
Speaker 16: and we should do everything we can to make.
40:27
Speaker 14: Sure these people vote.
40:29
Speaker 1: Right.
40:29
Speaker 16: This is an ideology and people like them vote, so
40:32
Speaker 16: we should here in America do everything we can to
40:35
Speaker 16: make sure that people who represent that type of mentality
40:38
Speaker 16: are never in power again.
40:42
Speaker 4: Yep.
40:42
Speaker 3: And you don't need to ask how they vote, you
40:44
Speaker 3: know how they vote by some of those statements.
40:47
Speaker 4: Sara Gonzalez, thank you so much for your time.
40:50
Speaker 14: Thank you still to come all.
40:52
Speaker 3: The latest entertainment news, including a self important daily celebrities
40:57
Speaker 3: epigrand Michael Loftus is next.
41:10
Speaker 4: Welcome back.
41:12
Speaker 3: Let's check in on a genuine Dalist celebrity, a dude
41:16
Speaker 3: called Sebastian Stan.
41:18
Speaker 9: No.
41:18
Speaker 3: I haven't heard of him either, Maybe we downgrade him
41:21
Speaker 3: to the Eliz now. Sebastians start as Donald Trump in
41:25
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty four film The Apprentice. No I didn't
41:28
Speaker 3: see it either, But this self important dolt felt the
41:32
Speaker 3: need to launch into a dire tribe about suppose its
41:35
Speaker 3: censorship and threats in Trump's America. He claims, his little
41:39
Speaker 3: unwatched film predicted at all now.
41:42
Speaker 13: And I'm just curious how your understanding of him has
41:45
Speaker 13: evolved in that time.
41:54
Speaker 9: It's just not a laughing matter, to be honest, it
41:58
Speaker 9: isn't you know. It's I think we're in a really,
42:03
Speaker 9: really bad place. I really do. And to be honest
42:08
Speaker 9: with you, it's like when you're looking at what's happening right,
42:12
Speaker 9: which is if we're talking about the consolidation of the media, censorship,
42:19
Speaker 9: the threats, the supposed lawsuits that seemingly never end but
42:24
Speaker 9: don't actually go anywhere. You know, the writing was on
42:27
Speaker 9: the wall. We encountered all that with the movie, you know,
42:31
Speaker 9: to the point where we were three days before the festival.
42:33
Speaker 9: I'msure if the movie was going to play at the festival.
42:36
Speaker 9: So you know, it's maybe people are paying attention more
42:43
Speaker 9: to that film. I think it will stand the test
42:45
Speaker 9: of time for that. But we went through all of
42:47
Speaker 9: it right before Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert and so on.
42:49
Speaker 4: You know, dude, you're a laughing matter.
42:54
Speaker 3: And if we're going to copy these intellectually vacuous lectures
42:58
Speaker 3: from Hollywood, kind of at least come from someone remotely famous,
43:02
Speaker 3: someone we recognize. Let's bring in writer and comedian Michael Loftus.
43:07
Speaker 4: Michael, who the hell is that, dude?
43:09
Speaker 3: And what is he talking about Colbert and Kimmel victims
43:14
Speaker 3: that I'm not aware of?
43:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, this whole thing was awkward.
43:19
Speaker 1: When when Sebastian stan who I think he was in
43:22
Speaker 1: like an Avengers movie or something, but he's coming across
43:25
Speaker 1: as like a TMU version of Mark Ruffalo, Like everybody
43:29
Speaker 1: was ready to have a good time. They asked that
43:33
Speaker 1: question about ooh, what about Donald Trump, expecting he would
43:36
Speaker 1: make a joke or have some big reaction, and then
43:39
Speaker 1: he just he got deep with it. He got that
43:41
Speaker 1: like that pseudo actority. This is like if you hired
43:45
Speaker 1: a clown to make balloon animals at your kid's birthday party.
43:49
Speaker 2: And then they started talking about philosophy. You know, just squeak, squeak, squeak.
43:54
Speaker 1: Here, kid, there's a dog. Let me tell you what
43:57
Speaker 1: happens after we die? Why are we here? Just off
44:00
Speaker 1: by lawn guy, he's he's not good. And that that
44:03
Speaker 1: movie The Apprentice, Well.
44:06
Speaker 4: You know what what wanted?
44:09
Speaker 1: Michael seen million dollars to make and long it only
44:12
Speaker 1: made seventeen.
44:13
Speaker 2: He caused somebody a fortune.
44:15
Speaker 1: He actually should study from Donald Trump and learn how
44:17
Speaker 1: to make money.
44:20
Speaker 3: I think all they were looking for Michael was a
44:23
Speaker 3: Donald Trump imitation. You know, if you've spent the entire
44:26
Speaker 3: film playing Donald Trump. They were hoping for a laugh,
44:30
Speaker 3: They were hoping for a little bit of wit. And
44:33
Speaker 3: they copped that, you know, some first year art student
44:37
Speaker 3: lecture from some bloke that if you fell over him
44:40
Speaker 3: in the street, you wouldn't know who he is.
44:43
Speaker 4: Now you would know.
44:44
Speaker 3: These guys rock legends, the Rolling Stones. They've been mocked
44:48
Speaker 3: for using deaging technology to look at younger in the
44:53
Speaker 3: music video for the release of their new single in
44:56
Speaker 3: the Stars.
44:56
Speaker 17: Let's have a quick look, well, Michael, I mean they
45:12
Speaker 17: are ancient.
45:13
Speaker 4: I don't have a problem with that. They look good.
45:16
Speaker 1: Let it be yeah. I think it's a brilliant move.
45:20
Speaker 1: People always underestimate the Rolling Stones love of money. They're
45:25
Speaker 1: really smart. Guys like Mick Jagger invented the logo for
45:29
Speaker 1: a rock and roll band.
45:30
Speaker 2: He do that. He's made so much money off of merge.
45:33
Speaker 1: I bet this is an angle for them to establish
45:36
Speaker 1: a copyright claim on AI versions of themselves, so that
45:41
Speaker 1: when somebody starts doing a Mick Jagger they can be like,
45:44
Speaker 1: can't you hear my lawyer's knocking?
45:49
Speaker 2: Well?
45:50
Speaker 4: Talking about letted Bay and Rock Royalty.
45:53
Speaker 3: Paul McCartney has been ridiculed online after speaking about the
45:57
Speaker 3: hardships of ordinary life when from voting the release of
46:01
Speaker 3: his new album.
46:02
Speaker 4: He said, there's a lot of hardship for many people.
46:05
Speaker 3: Some people might have a healthy shoe, a financial issue, whatever,
46:09
Speaker 3: everyone's got something, but we've got to beat our way
46:13
Speaker 3: through those hardships. One music industry source called out McCartney, saying,
46:17
Speaker 3: Paul absolutely means well, but there's.
46:20
Speaker 4: An unavoidable disconnect.
46:22
Speaker 3: When someone worth billions starts talking about financial suffering, people
46:27
Speaker 3: online immediately saw the irony to say the least Michael again,
46:32
Speaker 3: like the dude means well, and just because you're rich
46:35
Speaker 3: doesn't mean you don't have other issues.
46:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, and everybody loves Paul McCartney and everybody loves the Beatles,
46:44
Speaker 1: but you start to worry about him.
46:47
Speaker 2: When Paul McCartney starts going.
46:49
Speaker 1: Over, Oh, we've got to worry about the hardships of
46:52
Speaker 1: ordinary people. Dude, you haven't had the hardships of ordinary
46:56
Speaker 1: You haven't had that card to place since nineteen sixty five.
47:00
Speaker 1: He's been rich longer than I've been on the planet.
47:04
Speaker 1: He's written songs about his love of money. One of
47:07
Speaker 1: their first hits was you know the best things in life, Offery,
47:10
Speaker 1: they don't matter. He loves money and he's not that beetle.
47:14
Speaker 1: He's the cute one. Maybe John Lennon can talk about
47:18
Speaker 1: maybe George Harrison with the Taxman, but Paul, come on,
47:21
Speaker 1: you're the cute beetle. Get on your little walker, get
47:25
Speaker 1: on stage and seeing me as.
47:30
Speaker 3: Now I want to go to Actress Julian Moore, who
47:33
Speaker 3: has been torched by critics for declaring she doesn't want
47:37
Speaker 3: to act in movies with murder, guns, explosions. In an
47:42
Speaker 3: interview with Variety, More explained, I don't like someone being murdered.
47:47
Speaker 3: I don't like explosions and guns. I don't like histrionics.
47:51
Speaker 3: I don't like things that raise the stakes without real
47:54
Speaker 3: feeling underneath that.
47:56
Speaker 4: Michael, she does realize it's all pretend, right, you start.
48:02
Speaker 2: To worry about her.
48:03
Speaker 1: She's like, I used to think these movies were so innocent.
48:06
Speaker 1: Then I saw that giant monkey climbing up the Empire
48:10
Speaker 1: State building, and I realized this is.
48:12
Speaker 2: Bigger than me. Julianne Moore. Julian Moore. She likes to
48:16
Speaker 2: complain about scripts.
48:17
Speaker 1: I don't think she's getting offered like it's She had
48:21
Speaker 1: no problem with these movies when she was when she
48:24
Speaker 1: was in them, when she was making all kinds of
48:27
Speaker 1: money being in these movies, and now when the scripts
48:29
Speaker 1: aren't showing up, she's like, oh, no, thank you, I
48:33
Speaker 1: don't want listen. Not a problem, Julianne. I don't think
48:35
Speaker 1: anybody's waiting to see Diehard seventeen with Julianne Moore.
48:41
Speaker 2: It's not good.
48:42
Speaker 3: No, she's not your natural go to for your action movie.
48:47
Speaker 4: She with explosions and then gunfire.
48:50
Speaker 3: Now I've got to ask you about Shakira, the Hipstone
48:53
Speaker 3: Lie songstress. A Spanish court has ordered the country's tax
48:58
Speaker 3: authority to reaf found fifty five million.
49:01
Speaker 4: Euros to Shakira.
49:04
Speaker 3: The cord ruled that the money was improperly collected in
49:07
Speaker 3: a dispute over her taxes. It said tax authorities had
49:10
Speaker 3: failed to prove she spent one hundred and eighty three
49:14
Speaker 3: days in Spain in twenty eleven, which is the minimum
49:17
Speaker 3: required for residents to pay personal income tax in Spain. Michael,
49:22
Speaker 3: she must be making a fortune if that's how much
49:24
Speaker 3: tax she was.
49:25
Speaker 4: Charged, and it's all coming back. This is a big
49:28
Speaker 4: win for Shakira.
49:30
Speaker 2: And I'm happy for what a terrifying ruling that was.
49:35
Speaker 1: Did anybody tell her, Hey, if you're here one more day,
49:38
Speaker 1: you're going to owe somebody like fifty five Holy she's
49:42
Speaker 1: going to get back like.
49:43
Speaker 2: Sixty seven million dollars US.
49:47
Speaker 1: And they were going to put her in jail. This
49:50
Speaker 1: is like the most draconian nineteen eighty four thing.
49:53
Speaker 2: And listen, wasn't there a trial. Wasn't there a trial?
49:57
Speaker 1: Didn't she put her hand on the Bible and start
50:00
Speaker 1: moving her hips. They like you said, they don't lie.
50:03
Speaker 2: She was. I wasn't there, your honor, I wasn't there.
50:08
Speaker 3: It would convince me the girl can dance. Michael Loftus
50:12
Speaker 3: always a pleasure. Thanks for your time, and that's all
50:16
Speaker 3: the time we have. I'll see you tomorrow night at eleven.
50:19
Speaker 3: Newsnight is up next
