  Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Riata Paney Show.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Coming up tonight, former Australian of the Year Grace Tame
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: at risk of being dumped by Nike after questionable social
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: media posts.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: And while we.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Join me shortly to cover the day's top headlines, advertising
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: expert Richard Ralph Smith will tell us the three fatal
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: errors the Liberals made in their election advertising. Kosher Gator
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: will have the latest from the US, and later in
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: the hour They're Always Amusing.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Alex Stein will tell us why he was attacked.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: By lgbt QIA activists and talking about Left is losing it.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Tonight's segment comes with a warning.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: It felt so I don't know electric and yet still
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: so natural.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: But first, the Prime Minister has a rubbish cause from
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: the Trump administration to lift astra is defense spending to
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: three point five percent of GDP from the current two percent.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: After US Defense Secretary Pete Hegxed made the demand to
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Defense Minister Richard Miles during a meeting at the Shangri
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: La Security Dialogue in Singapore. Here's what the PM had
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: to say, earlier today.
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: We determine our defense policy. Here where a sovereign nation
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: that need to have pride in our sovereignty and in
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: our capacity to make decisions in our national interest, in
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: our national interest, that is what we will do.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Former Army Chief Peter Leahy has warned that the government's
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: insistence on keeping defense spending low is an abrogation of
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: the primary responsibility of our elected representatives to provide for
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: the defense and security of the nation and the safety
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: of our servicemen and women.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Those who wear.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Australia's uniform place great trust in those who task and
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: equip them. This trust is not being honored. This comes
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: after close ally Japan doubled its defense budget amid expectations
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: that China will only get more aggressive, with Pete Hegsett
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: warning that a Chinese attack on Taiwan could be imminent.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Joining me now for more on this.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: As Deputy Executive Director of the Institute of Public Affairs,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Daniel Ward Dan, just take a look at what's happening
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: with the NATO countries. They have increased their spending as
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Trump asked them to do, demanded that they do. Can
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Australia really afford to be this reckless and recalcitrant.
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: Well, I think you know it's fair enough for the
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: Prime Minister to say that we'll decide what our own
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: defense policy is based on our own circumstances. But the
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: case for Australia to increase our defense spending is not
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: predicated necessarily in what the US is asking us to do,
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: but because we need to do it anyway, and we
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: should have been doing this a long time ago. Our
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: spending has been too low for too long, and the
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: money that we have allocated toward defense and our national
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: security has not been spent in an effective manner. We
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: are hopelessly unprepared for the challenges that we face in
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: our region and around the world, and this is only
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: set to get worse unless there is a dramatic and
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: urgent change to how we approach our defense policy. Obviously
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: closely related to this reader, it's not just our national
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: defense but also our energy security, and for as long
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: as we're committed to policies like net zero, our capacity
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: to have our own sovereign manufacturing capabilities is going to
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: be undermined. So this is caused not just to increase
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: our defense spending, but to have a complete rethink about
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: our energy policy as well.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: And it's all good and well for the Prime Minister
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: to talk tough about sovereignty, But where was that tough
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: talk Dan when Chinese warships were doing their little exercises
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: unannounced close to the Australian border. I mean, I just
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: find it very inconsistent from the Prime Minister to talk
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: tough when a close ally wants us to increase our
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: defense spending, but he goes missing when the aggressive when
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: the aggressive attitude is coming from China.
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: Well, that's exactly right, and it's not just issues pertaining
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: to China, as you rightly identify, but also the number
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: of international agreements which we are signed up to or
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: are due to sign up to, for example, in relation
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: to future pandemics. I haven't heard the Prime Minister talk
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: about our national sovereignty in relation to the World Health Organization.
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: Nor have I heard him talk about national sovereignty as
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: it relates to climate change commitments. For example, the Paris
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: Climate Agreement is handing over a massive amount of power
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: to unelected international bureaucrats. So you're quite right to point
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: out that the Prime Minister is being very selective when
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: he discuss it discusses issues relating to our political and
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: national sovereignty.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Now, Western Australian Senator Drenda Cox, who was elected as
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: a member of the Greens not too long ago, has
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: made a shocked affection to the Labor Party, making this
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: announcement alongside the Prime Minister just yesterday Today.
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: I'm resigning from the Australian Greens to join the Labor
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: Party to sit as a later senator as part of
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: the Albanese government.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: It is not a decision I've taken lightly. Now.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: This is a member of parliament who was hit with
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: workplace misconduct and bullying allegations back in October last year,
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: with twenty of her staff reportedly quitting their jobs.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: In a period of about three years.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: But I've got to ask you, Dan, put aside the
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: personalities here. She was elected as a Greens member, but
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: people voted for the Greens and she was.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: There to represent them.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Is it okay for her to be defecting within a
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: matter of weeks or she should be standing down and
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: the Greens select someone else to represent them.
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think so, reader. I think Australian's pretty sick
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: and tired of this. I haven't looked at what her
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: personal vote was, how many below the line votes she
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: got in the Senate, but I can't imagine it was
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: enough anywhere near enough to get her own quota to
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: get in. So you're right that she was elected as
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: a Greens member, not as a member of the Labor Party.
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: And to do this so soon after the election, I
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: think suggests that perhaps something was in play beforehand. I
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: don't know, but it seems that it's unlikely that this
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: kind of transition will take place in such a short
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: space of time. The other point that I would make
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: I watched Anthony Abernice's press conference today in Perth and
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: it was interesting and revealing what he said. He said
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: that if you're serious about social change in Australia, then
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: you need to support the Labor Party. Now, what this
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: suggests to me to mean is that Labour's social values
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: are the social values of the Greens. They're the social
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: values of treaty of truth telling, of reparations payments. I
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: believe that they will proceed with a voice to Parliament,
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: as Penny Wong said they would do prior to the
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: last federal election, and I think it's time for Labor
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: just to be honest with the Australian people and have
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: a formal coalition agreement with the Greens. If they're just
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: going to adopt Green's members as part of their party,
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: then they should do it in an open and transparent manner.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Well, they're in a coalition with the Greens, Let's be honest.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: The Greens and Labor depend on each other and Labour
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: wouldn't be where they are without the Greens support. So
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: whether it's an official coalition agreement as the Libs and
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Nets have or an unofficial one like Labor and Greens,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: it works pretty much in the same way.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about Victoria.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Former Premier Jeff Kenned has made another some would say
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: desperate attempt to try to save John Pursudo, the former
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: opposition leader, pend a letter to the Victorian Liberal Party's
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Administrative Committee begging them to pay the entire two point
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: three million debt that mister Pursudo now owes Liberal MP
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Moor Deeming. If he doesn't come across with his money,
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: if he doesn't find it somewhere dan he faces bankruptcy,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: which means it will step down from parliament. Jeff Kenned argues,
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: not supporting the pursuito family now denies the fundamental values
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: the party was founded upon. It is wrong to ask
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: him to foot the bills to bankrupt him and his family,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: wrong to ask him to borrow money from the capital
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: funds we might have at our disposal. I implore you
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: to act decisively. We must put the issue to bed quickly.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Remember money can always be replaced, a change of government cannot.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: I've got a lot of thoughts on.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: This one, Dad, but I'm interested in yours. My first
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: thought though, is has Jeff forgotten who the victim here is.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: It's Moira Deeming, it is not John Persudo.
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: Look, I mean I have a lot of respect for
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: Jeff Kenned and everything he's done for Victoria, but I'm
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: not sure this is quite the right way to go.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: You know, Moira Deeming is entitled to seek compensation as
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: per the court order. You know, she's well within her
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: rights to do that. And also the Liberal Party was
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: founded on the value of freedom of speech, which is
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: what Moyra was exercising. And she was really, you know,
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: the victim of what happened to her and went through
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: that legal process. So you know, this has been a
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: disaster for the Victorian Liberal Party from the very beginning,
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: and I think it really shows what happens when firstly
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: you lose sight of what your values are, secondly when
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: you become intimidated by your political opponents. It was very
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: clear from the court documents that one of the reasons
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: why the decision was taken to go after more redeeming
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: was because of concerns that Daniel Andrews was going to
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: exploit it for political purposes, as of course he would,
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: being a very effective political operator. But look, look what's
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: happened now. I mean, this all happened because they didn't
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: stand up to Daniel Andrews and the Labor government. So look,
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: they just need to draw a line under this and
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: try to get clean air as they head to the
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: next election in November of next year.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: They showed such poor political judgment in this case. It
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: was actually an opportunity for them to lay a glove
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: on Dan Andrews. And that's fairly rare during Dan Andrews's
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: political career that the Libs would hurt him any way.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: But they had an opportunity there because this is an
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: eighty twenty issue, and they decided to side with the
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: twenty percent, along with Labor and the Greens just idiotic
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: in the extreme. I want to ask you about former
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Australian of the Year Grace Tame. She has come under
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: five for her anti Israel social media content, which has
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: now put her partnership with Nike at risk. The megasports
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: brand has said via a spokeswoman, Nike does not stand
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: for any form of discrimination, including anti Semitism. We take
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: this matter very seriously and are in touch with Grace's
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: team to understand the matter further.
• 11:30
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: The Australian has done some great reports on this story.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: They reported that Tame reposted a statement from Palestinian writer
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Mohammed el Kurd in which she appeared to condone the
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: murder of two Israeli embassy officials in Washington and angrily
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: attacked journalists who reported that the slayings were an act
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: of anti Semitism.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, the former.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Australian of the Year is a endorsement of El Kurd
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: and the message she published last week is deeply troubling.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: He wrote.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: The media class is scrambling to reframe the shooting that
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: targeted to Israeli's state officials as a random anti Semitic attack.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Tame reposted this to her two hundred and sixty thousand followers,
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: even though it was undeniably and by the alleged shooter's
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: own admission, a response to the ongoing Israeli assault on Gaza,
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: which killed one hundred and seven Palestinians in the last
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: twenty four hours alone. Dan, it's astonishing to me that
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: she would endorse share this in any way back a
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: position that is so extreme.
• 12:46
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: Well, the first thing is good on Nike for doing this.
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: I mean, quite often we rightfully call out big businesses
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: for dividing us and doing the wrong thing. Well, Nike
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: is at least, you know, standing up and is asking
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: for an explanation from Grace Tame, and that's the right
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: thing for them to do. I think it's a shame
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: for Grace Tame because she has rightly been acknowledged for
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: the work that she's done in advocating for and raising
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: the profile of victims of domestic violence and abuse, and
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: that's a very important cause. But for her to go
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: down the road of political activism I think has really
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: let down the important work that she did. Of course,
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: she famously wore the f Murdoch t shirt when she
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: was meeting with the Prime Minister some time ago and
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: has a history of political activism. Now, if she wants
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: to do.
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: That, that's up to her.
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's entirely up to Grace Tame if she
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: wants to go down that road. But I don't think
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: you can at one time be an advocate for a
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: very important cause and at the same time also see
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: yourself as a political advocate for what are very divisive
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: cultural issues as well.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: Yes, indeed, and I think as Australian of the Year
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: she's not in that role anymore. But I think you
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: have to be a political you have to be a
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: unifying figure. You can't be a divisive activist. And we've
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: too often put given that on our two divisive activists.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: It started well before Grace Tame, Dan Wild, thank you
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: so much for your time tonight, joining me now to
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: discuss how the Coalition got its advertising campaign so terribly wrong.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Is DPR and.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: Co advertising co founder Richard Ralph Smith. Richard, you've come
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: up with three key areas the Coalition failed with its
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: election messaging.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Take us through it.
• 14:37
  Speaker 10: Yeah, okay, Well, in marketing terms, we can speak brand,
• 14:41
  Speaker 10: product and retail, and so if you think about brand.
• 14:44
  Speaker 10: That's a long term, strategic investment in what you stand for.
• 14:49
  Speaker 10: At the other end of the spectrum, you've got retail,
• 14:52
  Speaker 10: which is intended to be a short term, tactical expenditure
• 14:57
  Speaker 10: designed to drive immediate sales. What the Liberal Party did
• 15:01
  Speaker 10: is they had all their attention over here and ignored
• 15:04
  Speaker 10: their brand almost entirely.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: So you're saying the substance wasn't there. They actually didn't
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: have the policies to sell. It wasn't the selling that
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: they failed it. It was the stuff that matters. They
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: are what they stand.
• 15:18
  Speaker 10: For exactly even above the policy level, the values and
• 15:21
  Speaker 10: the principles that give rise to the policies in the
• 15:23
  Speaker 10: first place. And that's something you don't like. John Howard
• 15:26
  Speaker 10: used to say, you don't fatten a pig on market day,
• 15:28
  Speaker 10: You've got to do that years in advance. And so
• 15:32
  Speaker 10: Australians now no one is buying the Liberal brand. The
• 15:36
  Speaker 10: reason they're not buying the Liberal brand is that nobody's selling.
• 15:38
  Speaker 11: It, you know.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: And that is what we've been saying on Sky News,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: one of the few media outlets who's been pointing out
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: that the Liberals, well since the Voice where they had
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: the Trump for they did stand for something and articulated
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: that position very well. They haven't stood for anything. Where
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: is the policy differentiation? Where are they taking it up
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: to labor and giving the electro to clear choice and
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: saying this is who we are what we stand for.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: And you're right, it's too late to do it during
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: an election campaign. You need to have come to that
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: position organically throughout. You can't just show up and say
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: we are this.
• 16:18
  Speaker 10: You have to drive it and you have to believe
• 16:20
  Speaker 10: in it. And even at the highest brand level that
• 16:24
  Speaker 10: they really spoke about was their line for the election campaign,
• 16:27
  Speaker 10: Let's get Australia back on track. Yeah, okay, so what's
• 16:32
  Speaker 10: the track?
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: Where does it lead?
• 16:34
  Speaker 9: Yeah?
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: It's a gym that you included net zero that would
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: not even deviate on a policy areas as harmful to
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: their brand as net zero and I think they still
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: understand that now. Talking about social media, because so many
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: now consume their news consumed information via social media, I've
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: got to say Labour's campaign wasn't particularly great, but the
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: Coalition seemed to particularly str.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: In that space.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: How can they reach younger voters effectively through social media?
• 17:08
  Speaker 10: Well, the important thing is don't try so hard to
• 17:11
  Speaker 10: fit into your environment that you change who you are.
• 17:15
  Speaker 10: It really comes back again to being confident about who
• 17:19
  Speaker 10: you are and saying these are our principles and then
• 17:22
  Speaker 10: finding a way to express it in a way that's
• 17:25
  Speaker 10: new and true for young people. Trying to find a
• 17:28
  Speaker 10: way to really articulate that without trashing your brand by
• 17:32
  Speaker 10: doing things such as that ridiculous disk track which was
• 17:36
  Speaker 10: entirely debranding.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: For the Liberals, Yeah, that was a little bit cringe
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: labor though landslide victory, so they can take all the plauded.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: What did they do well or were they just lucky
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: to have really little opposition at this election?
• 17:51
  Speaker 10: I think in large part it is the latter. This
• 17:54
  Speaker 10: was not a contest of high minded ideals expressed brilliantly
• 17:59
  Speaker 10: by two top notch opponents. They didn't do anything particularly
• 18:04
  Speaker 10: well from a brand point of view. What they did
• 18:07
  Speaker 10: do is define Peter Dutton on their terms very very well,
• 18:12
  Speaker 10: and they had the most powerful negative line of the campaign,
• 18:17
  Speaker 10: which was he cuts you pay. And they managed to
• 18:20
  Speaker 10: again frame nuclear in their own terms, making up their
• 18:24
  Speaker 10: own numbers, convincing people of those numbers and saying this
• 18:28
  Speaker 10: is what is going to cost six.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Negative campaigns are enormously effective. People say they don't like it,
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: that don't like when politicians or political parties go negative,
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: but the proof is there that they work, and that's
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: why labor go to these sorts of campaigns, whether it's
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: many scale, nuclear or cuts.
• 18:47
  Speaker 10: They work better for the incumbent than they do for
• 18:49
  Speaker 10: the opposition. And in this situation, you know, the environment
• 18:54
  Speaker 10: was that we had a really uncertain geostrategic ron happening.
• 19:00
  Speaker 10: We had you know, China conducting live fire exercises three
• 19:04
  Speaker 10: hundred k's off the coach of Sydney. We had Trump
• 19:07
  Speaker 10: firing off tariffs every which way. People were feeling nervous
• 19:13
  Speaker 10: and sort of leaning towards the incumbent, and that would
• 19:17
  Speaker 10: have required the liberals to define something really really compelling
• 19:22
  Speaker 10: based on liberal values to do it. It was an
• 19:24
  Speaker 10: uphill battle in the first place, yes, but they just
• 19:27
  Speaker 10: couldn't do it. I think they were sort of this
• 19:30
  Speaker 10: time late last year, they were in the lead in
• 19:34
  Speaker 10: terms of the polls, and also Peter Dutton's preferred prime
• 19:37
  Speaker 10: minister rating was in a really really good space. He
• 19:39
  Speaker 10: looked like a leader. Late last year it was as
• 19:42
  Speaker 10: if they were defending a lead that didn't really.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Exist, and I think they got.
• 19:47
  Speaker 10: Failed to deliver on a brand plan.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: They were playing like they were in front, and I
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: think that we're getting some poor polling data that they
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: were relying on and ignoring everything else around them.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Richard Ralph Smith, thank you so much for your time tonight.
• 20:01
  Speaker 9: All right, thank you.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Still to come.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: Lefties a losing it? Plus will we see record amounts.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Of corporate virtue signaling during Pride Month?
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Kosher Gator has the details. You're watching the Reader Panny
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Show and it's time for Lefty's Losing It. I don't
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: know how to apologize for what I'm about to show you,
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: but just know this hurts me as much as it's
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: going to hurt you. Let's have a look at trump
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: deranged Rosie O'Donnell, who has fled the country because of potus,
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: but she has returned from Ireland to film this hot
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: mess for Sex and the City spin off.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Just like that, enough talking, let's just dive right in.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: It felt so I don't know electric and yet still
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: so natural. I never dreamed my first time could be
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: both those things.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: First time.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: You were a virgin, Yes, I'm a nun.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Yes, that was Rosi o'donald playing a virgin none called
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Mary who ends up in bed with Miranda played by
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Cynthia and Nixon, the worst character on Sex and the City.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: I think you'll agree, and that show jumped the shark
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: many many moons ago.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: But at least Rosi o'donald.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: And Cynthia Nixon could share their deranged hatred of Trump
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: together in between takes. Both are ardent Trump haters and mothers.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Of non binary or trans children.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: Remember Cynthia Nixon boasted about having her daughter's healthy breast removed.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: They call it top surgery. My hand had his.
• 21:51
  Speaker 12: Top surgery, ass NYU a number of years ago. Please
• 21:59
  Speaker 12: work pastic His surgeon was the best we could have imagined.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: It's time to check in with Joe Biden.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: The former president has his good days and he has
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: his bad days.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: But every day is a delusional day. Listen to this.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: And there's also been a lot of discussion recently about
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: your mental and physical capabilities while you were in office.
• 22:22
  Speaker 13: You can see that I'm mentally incompetent and I can't walk,
• 22:25
  Speaker 13: and I can beat the.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Hell out of both of them. Do you want to
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: reply to any of those reports, and also to the
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: fact that there are some Democrats who are now questioning
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: whether you should have run for reelection in the first place.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Run against me that.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: Because I'd have beaten it.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Do you have any regrets?
• 22:42
  Speaker 11: No, I don't know.
• 22:43
  Speaker 9: Your guests.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Naylon Mask has had enough of his fellow billionaires talking trash.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Listen here as he gives Bill Gates.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: An almighty spray after Gates made all sorts of unfounded
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: claims about us aid.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: He starts by calling Gates a liar.
• 23:02
  Speaker 14: I know you've said that already I.
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: Wanted and I'm just who does Biggates think he is
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: to make comments about the welfare of children, given that
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: he is before quented Jeffrey Epstein, Okay.
• 23:17
  Speaker 9: Well.
• 23:19
  Speaker 14: He's he's he said he regrets those.
• 23:22
  Speaker 8: And he's he spent he spent a lot.
• 23:25
  Speaker 14: He spent a lot of his own money on on
• 23:28
  Speaker 14: philanthropy around the world over the years. My question to
• 23:31
  Speaker 14: you is have you looked at the data to check
• 23:34
  Speaker 14: if he might be right that the cuts to US
• 23:37
  Speaker 14: A I. D might cost millions of lives.
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: Yes, I'd like him to preshure us any any evidence whatsoever.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: None whatsoever, And bono you know him from you two.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: He was making the same bas claims on Joe Rogan,
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: and Rogan was not having it.
• 23:57
  Speaker 15: Just recent report, it's not proven, but there's surveillance enough
• 24:03
  Speaker 15: suggests three hundred thousand people have already died from just
• 24:07
  Speaker 15: this cutoff, this hard cut of usaid.
• 24:11
  Speaker 16: The problem is, for sure, there have been a lot
• 24:17
  Speaker 16: of organizations that do tremendous good all throughout the world. Also,
• 24:21
  Speaker 16: for sure it was a money laundering operation. For sure,
• 24:24
  Speaker 16: there was no oversight. For sure, billions of dollars are missing.
• 24:28
  Speaker 16: In fact, trillions that are unaccounted for that were sent
• 24:32
  Speaker 16: off into various they don't even know where because there's
• 24:37
  Speaker 16: no receipts. The way Elon must describe that, he said,
• 24:40
  Speaker 16: if any of this was done by a public company,
• 24:43
  Speaker 16: the company would be delisted and the executives be in prison.
• 24:47
  Speaker 16: But in the United States, this is a standard. When Biden
• 24:51
  Speaker 16: left office, when it was clear that Trump won, in
• 24:54
  Speaker 16: the seventy three days, they spent ninety three billion dollars
• 24:59
  Speaker 16: from the the Department of Energy on just radical loans,
• 25:04
  Speaker 16: just throwing money into places and there's no oversight.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: Well, folks, it's June, and that means it's Pride month,
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: and they started celebrating early in West Hollywood. Not sure
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: that's suitable for young kids in the audience there. But
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: it's not just the public nudity, it's the corporate virtue
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: signaling we're going to see in the coming weeks. Yes,
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: a whole month of far left foolishness, but for some
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: it's never enough.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Watch this Karen a whine about Target getting.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: Rid of their LGBTQIA plus plus display and replacing it
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: with a pro American one.
• 25:55
  Speaker 17: Happy Pride Month. In my Target that used to have
• 25:57
  Speaker 17: the pride section, it's now all USA. Yay USA. And honestly,
• 26:05
  Speaker 17: my dad serves the military, and I'd love to be
• 26:07
  Speaker 17: really proud of this nation, but it's hard to be
• 26:09
  Speaker 17: proud of.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: It under Donald Trump.
• 26:11
  Speaker 17: But hey, you know, while you're here, pick up a
• 26:13
  Speaker 17: USA bikini, you know why not? Yeah, Target's really taken
• 26:22
  Speaker 17: this anti DEI thing to another level.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Oh Dear God forbid anyone should have pride in their country.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: I'm sure your granddad risked his life so Target could
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: sell breastbinders to young girls.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Let's bring in Sky News contributor Kosher.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Gaeta Kosher, there's been a cultural shift in the US,
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: It's undoubted. And are we going to see things like
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Pride Month marked differently from the corporate world.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Are we going to have the same.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Sort of activism and enthusiasm as we have seen in
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: previous years.
• 26:55
  Speaker 9: Seemingly not.
• 26:56
  Speaker 11: It looks like we have finally broken the camel's back
• 26:58
  Speaker 11: on this issue. It almost just send it as quickly
• 27:02
  Speaker 11: blink and you missed it as it ascended just in
• 27:04
  Speaker 11: the last five years. And you see, you know, the
• 27:06
  Speaker 11: Silicon Valley titans and the high finance people and cultural
• 27:09
  Speaker 11: icons all coming out and endorsing Trump in this election.
• 27:13
  Speaker 9: Everything sort of trickles down from that, I think.
• 27:15
  Speaker 11: And you haven't seen mass backlash or young people rioting
• 27:19
  Speaker 11: and leaving their hypie Silicon Valley jobs or New York
• 27:22
  Speaker 11: jobs or anything like that. And you don't see corporations
• 27:25
  Speaker 11: putting the little black square, a little ratio square on
• 27:27
  Speaker 11: their LinkedIn profiles. So maybe we are past the worst.
• 27:30
  Speaker 9: Dare I say?
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: I think the corporates are seeing there is actually a
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: price to pay, and it's probably a bit more clever
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: to be a political and not alienate at least a
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: portion of your customer basis significant portion and I think
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: USAID really exposed just how much of this far left activism,
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: this far left movement was funded unwittingly by tax payers.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: It wasn't just some organic grassroots movement.
• 28:00
  Speaker 11: That's been one of so many examples of just as
• 28:03
  Speaker 11: much as we know what's going on in the culture,
• 28:05
  Speaker 11: there's so much more. And when you think you've got
• 28:06
  Speaker 11: the whole picture, there's yet more that we don't know.
• 28:09
  Speaker 11: And you say, idea, it was about fifty billion dollars
• 28:11
  Speaker 11: a year in spending, It's like a billion dollars a week.
• 28:13
  Speaker 11: It's not a small amount, and even worse, as you say,
• 28:16
  Speaker 11: because more than the money and the wastage financially, what
• 28:19
  Speaker 11: it was doing domestically and all around the world. And
• 28:22
  Speaker 11: it's completely been gutted. Ninety percent of contracts have been terminated. Yes,
• 28:26
  Speaker 11: it was challenged in a court. There are a few
• 28:27
  Speaker 11: challenges still working its way up, but by and large
• 28:30
  Speaker 11: this organization has been fundamentally changed, and I think everybody
• 28:35
  Speaker 11: is for the better, and maybe we can do something
• 28:36
  Speaker 11: without tax payer money. Yeap.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: People's eyes have been opened, even those of us who
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: are very engaged in this space. I was shocked by
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: the money that was being spent taxpayers money all around
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: the world pushing this far left activism.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Bizarre use of taxpayers money.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: And whilst we're talking about usiidal On mass the man
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: who was responsible for cutting so much of that waste
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: and fraud, well, he had some parting words for members
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: of the media, pointing out that they are the ones
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: responsible for so many of the slings and arrows that
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: have come his way, and they are discredited.
• 29:16
  Speaker 8: The President mentioned that you had to deal with all
• 29:18
  Speaker 8: the slings and arrows during your time.
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: It does there's this New York other people, you know,
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: some of the media re organizations, Let's room work, the lingers.
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: Well, so.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: There is a New York Times before today that accuses
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: you of blurring way between.
• 29:32
  Speaker 18: New York Times.
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: Is that the same publication that got a Bulletzer prize
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: for a false reporting on the Russia Gate? Is it
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: the same organization? I got to check my tots, so
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: I think they.
• 29:48
  Speaker 8: I think the.
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: Judge just ruled against New York Times for their lies
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: about the Russia Gate hoax, and that they might have
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: to give back that Fullitzer price that New York Times.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Let's move on, and we've seen this from Trump administration
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: across the board almost whether it's heg Zeth, where it's
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: Rubio Musk there, who you know isn't a politician, but
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: he had a fairly significant role. They are just hitting
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: back the media hard. They've taken on Trump's attitude towards
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: the media, and you've got to say it's pretty effective.
• 30:20
  Speaker 9: For sure.
• 30:21
  Speaker 11: It's not your grandmother's Republican Party and this whole group
• 30:25
  Speaker 11: starting the Trump leading he really showed people how to
• 30:28
  Speaker 11: fight and when things go as bad as they've gone,
• 30:32
  Speaker 11: you're kind of past nice manners and niceties and all
• 30:34
  Speaker 11: those things we saw from John McCain and Mitt Romney
• 30:37
  Speaker 11: and even Ronald Reagan. It was just a different world
• 30:38
  Speaker 11: that we're living in and here you've got to be
• 30:40
  Speaker 11: willing to roll up your sleeves and fight, and they
• 30:42
  Speaker 11: kind of relish it.
• 30:43
  Speaker 9: So it's not everybody's cup of tea.
• 30:45
  Speaker 11: Always running to people who don't like it or wish
• 30:48
  Speaker 11: the demeanor would be different.
• 30:49
  Speaker 9: But I think it's very effective.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: And a lot of people, actually, if they want to
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: go back to the gop of Mitt Romney or McCain
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: or good luck to them, because that's the GoPay of losers.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: And those days are over. The voters have no appetite
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: for that. So never mind whether Trump's there or not.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: The voters don't want that. They don't want to have
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: polite losers. Now, we saw the way the media treated
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: Elon Mask after his salute from the Heart. They were
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: calling him a Nazi, saying he was doing some sort
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: of a Hile Hitler salute, which was just so dishonest. Well,
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: Democrat Cory Booker did something well pretty much exactly the
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: same in the last couple of days, and there was
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: no condemnation, no accusations.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Many didn't even report on it.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: And Kosh, I guess this goes to the point of
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: why they feel like the media deserves to be treated
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: with this stain, because it's just discredited itself.
• 31:47
  Speaker 9: Time and again.
• 31:48
  Speaker 11: And when you think they can't sink any lawa you
• 31:50
  Speaker 11: can see these examples. And it's not even about hypocrisy,
• 31:53
  Speaker 11: it's about hierarchy. So Cory Brooker, you see, is a
• 31:56
  Speaker 11: higher in the totem pool where he gets extra protections
• 31:59
  Speaker 11: that the others side doesn't. And there's many people who've
• 32:01
  Speaker 11: done this, and I think the good thing is that
• 32:04
  Speaker 11: media has been democratized because of the Internet and social
• 32:07
  Speaker 11: media that these clips do get out there other programs
• 32:10
  Speaker 11: like yours and the social media covers it, and that
• 32:13
  Speaker 11: just further delegitimizes the mainstream media unless they wise up
• 32:17
  Speaker 11: to that, but they don't seem to be doing it
• 32:18
  Speaker 11: as far.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: And sticking with the media, yesterday we had CNN claimbing
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: that the Colorado terror attack was carried out by a
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: white man. And here we have NBC going to great
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: lengths not to use the words where it's like Jews
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: or even pro Israel, calling the victims of the attack
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: Gaza hostage awareness marches.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, really kosher.
• 32:43
  Speaker 11: If the backdrop wasn't as tragically, it is almost funny.
• 32:48
  Speaker 11: And they really are the kings and queens of linguistics.
• 32:51
  Speaker 9: They always have been.
• 32:52
  Speaker 11: So you have the Gaza awareness marchers, you had the
• 32:55
  Speaker 11: Maryland Dad that famous case, and even back in during
• 32:59
  Speaker 11: then President Oba Hillary Clinton's I'm reminded of the story
• 33:02
  Speaker 11: of the terrorist attack in Colombo, Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday,
• 33:06
  Speaker 11: and both of them referred to them as Easter worshippers
• 33:09
  Speaker 11: because they couldn't use the word Christians. So they are
• 33:12
  Speaker 11: very aware of words and which words they use, which
• 33:15
  Speaker 11: words they don't use. But again to your point earlier,
• 33:17
  Speaker 11: in this day and age of just podcasts and media
• 33:20
  Speaker 11: and social media, we all are discussing it and seeing
• 33:23
  Speaker 11: right through it. So I just think it's a losing strategy,
• 33:25
  Speaker 11: but they seem to be addicted to it.
• 33:27
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: In recent weeks, we've had a governor's house fire bombed,
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: We've had two Israelian busy workers murdered in cold blood,
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: and now this attack in Colorado several pro israel protests
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: is set alight, badly hurt. If there was a right
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: wing group or movement behind these sorts of attacks, it
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: would be leading news coverage all around the world. It
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: would all be as such a crisis that needs to
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: be addressed. But it seems like we've got a fairly
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: permissive attitude when it comes to violence from the left.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: We saw that throughout the BLM riots and we're seeing
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: it again with this anti Israeli movement.
• 34:08
  Speaker 11: It feels like it's the next dimension on this continuum
• 34:11
  Speaker 11: where we talked at the top about culture and the
• 34:13
  Speaker 11: culture is shifting and corporates aren't virtually signaling as much.
• 34:16
  Speaker 11: Then we've talked about the media losing its potency and
• 34:18
  Speaker 11: legitimacy because we can all see through their games. And
• 34:21
  Speaker 11: now this is where it gets really serious, where it's
• 34:23
  Speaker 11: actual violence taking place, and that double standard again still continues.
• 34:27
  Speaker 9: And as you say, BLM or even.
• 34:29
  Speaker 11: The Antifa rights before that in Portland elsewhere. So this
• 34:33
  Speaker 11: feels like the last printerier. If the right can somehow
• 34:35
  Speaker 11: crack this and just reclaim the narrative around that which
• 34:39
  Speaker 11: they're doing the current administration in terms of their line
• 34:42
  Speaker 11: order agenda, that will be another big win in this
• 34:45
  Speaker 11: continuum that we're on.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: And we say that everywhere there was Antifa.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: You mentioned there was some violence in California where they
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: were there to protest against I think some Christians who
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: were gathering, And we see it right here in Australia
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: when we have the let women speak much and there's
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: always some sort of a counter protest because they're not
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: allowed to speak without the far left activist disrupting them.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: On Colorado, there's been.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: A lot of commentary in the past twenty four hours
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: about this image summing up the modern Democrat Party.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Let's have a look at it, Kosha, what do you
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: say to this. There's a lot happening in that in
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: that picture.
• 35:23
  Speaker 11: Oh my goodness, I could say modern Democrat Party in
• 35:26
  Speaker 11: an AI simulator, and I don't think it would come
• 35:28
  Speaker 11: out very different from that. You've got the flag in
• 35:30
  Speaker 11: the background, it's like perfectly framed. In the middle, you
• 35:33
  Speaker 11: have this violent person. It's the heinous ax he committed.
• 35:36
  Speaker 11: He's shirtless, he's not in particularly good shape. He's an
• 35:38
  Speaker 11: illegal immigrant. Yeah, throwing him all the top cocktail, And
• 35:42
  Speaker 11: I think it does sum it up everything we just
• 35:43
  Speaker 11: talked about, the cultural virtue signaling, the way the media
• 35:46
  Speaker 11: is covering it, and then the violence from the left
• 35:48
  Speaker 11: that's been getting away, but not for long. We'll see
• 35:52
  Speaker 11: what's going to happen. Some judge is likely going to
• 35:54
  Speaker 11: block his deportation. But cases like this only help the
• 35:58
  Speaker 11: cause politically on the other side because these are not
• 36:00
  Speaker 11: sympathetic figures.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: And Trump's made that point.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: The Muhammad Solomon, the alleged attacker, there's an Egyptian national
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: in the US illegally.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: He overstate his visa, entered the.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: US during the Biden administration sort asylum in twenty twenty two,
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: was granted the right to work. Is the Biden administration
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: in any way to blame for this. They let millions
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: through unvetted, and you're going to get characters like this
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: amongst them.
• 36:30
  Speaker 11: Percent I think this really personifies what we know. So
• 36:33
  Speaker 11: we know the numbers and the ridiculous new eleven million
• 36:36
  Speaker 11: plus that were allowed to pour in through four years,
• 36:40
  Speaker 11: and then the particulars of this case where he was
• 36:43
  Speaker 11: caught even by the ace Agans in the Biden administration,
• 36:46
  Speaker 11: but was let go because that was the policy wele
• 36:48
  Speaker 11: catching release and then he was rewarded with legal work
• 36:51
  Speaker 11: access even though he oversteed his visa. So you're just
• 36:54
  Speaker 11: creating magnets and rewarding So every issue that we talk
• 36:56
  Speaker 11: about August presonified in this case, and then he goes
• 36:59
  Speaker 11: and does what he did, So it really just puts
• 37:02
  Speaker 11: a huge red line, I think, under this issue in
• 37:05
  Speaker 11: a way that had never happened before. And hopefully the
• 37:07
  Speaker 11: current administration can take advantage of that momentum and do
• 37:10
  Speaker 11: something about it.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: Now, before you go, we talked about that cultural shift
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: across the US, Let's have a look at another example
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: of that. This is something we wouldn't have seen a
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: few years ago, certainly wouldn't have seen it in Trump's
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: first term.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: What yere as football legends.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: And current Pittsburgh Steelers stars pay tribute to Donald Trump
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: in Pennsylvania.
• 37:32
  Speaker 14: I'd like to present to this to a Hall of
• 37:35
  Speaker 14: Fame President, please accept that.
• 37:40
  Speaker 15: How about this president of ours?
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: Huh?
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Just wanted to say, God bless you President Trump, and
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: God bless you Pittsburgh.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: Now, that was Pittsburgh Steeler's legend and Vietnam warvet Rocky
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: Blayer and current quarterback Mason Rudolph and defensive back Miles
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: Killer Brood. I mean, that is something we wouldn't have
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: seen kosher just a few years ago. Those players, current
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: players would have been canceled. They would have made all
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: sorts of uproar. No one really was bothered by any
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: of that. I didn't say too much backlash at all.
• 38:18
  Speaker 9: So true.
• 38:18
  Speaker 11: You know, there's that old adage I think attributed to
• 38:21
  Speaker 11: Andrew Breitbart that politics is downstream from culture. Every once
• 38:24
  Speaker 11: in a while, in a case like Donald Trump, who's
• 38:27
  Speaker 11: very unique, it almost was like culture is downstream from politics,
• 38:30
  Speaker 11: and just his whole story even before politics and since
• 38:33
  Speaker 11: then the comeback, being the under dog, being counted out
• 38:36
  Speaker 11: and coming is like classic American stuff.
• 38:38
  Speaker 9: Everybody loves that.
• 38:39
  Speaker 11: Story, even though they've been trained not to admit it,
• 38:42
  Speaker 11: and this carries a lot of weight when you have
• 38:43
  Speaker 11: NFL stars and Hall of Fame legends doing that. The
• 38:47
  Speaker 11: other piece two, since it's a Steelers Pittsburgh that is
• 38:50
  Speaker 11: a key constituency of Trump Pennsylvania and particularly that town.
• 38:54
  Speaker 11: The Steelers and miners didn't go to Republicans since Ronald
• 38:57
  Speaker 11: Reagan forty years and he in both terms turned that around,
• 39:00
  Speaker 11: and I think that's sort of the other piece of it,
• 39:02
  Speaker 11: and the Steelers, of course exemplify that part of his constituency.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: Kosher Gator, thanks for your time tonight coming up, But
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: why was Alex Stein attacked by LGBTQIA activists?
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: It joins me next to explain, welcome back.
• 39:25
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: We've seen morale and recruitment numbers in the US Army
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: saw in recent months after President Donald Trump's election triumph,
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: and get ready to see those numbers saw further because
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: the ad campaigns have changed a bit. They've gone from
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: this under the Biden administration.
• 39:44
  Speaker 19: Although he had a fairly typical childhood, took ballet, played violin,
• 39:50
  Speaker 19: I also marched for equality. I like to think I've
• 39:54
  Speaker 19: been defending freedom from an early age.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: Yep, that was under Biden. This is the latest.
• 40:01
  Speaker 16: No more distractions, no more electric tanks, no more gender confusion,
• 40:09
  Speaker 16: no more climate change worship.
• 40:12
  Speaker 8: We are laser focused on our mission of war FI.
• 40:19
  Speaker 13: We will measure our success not only by the battles
• 40:23
  Speaker 13: we win, but also by the wars we end, and
• 40:26
  Speaker 13: perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into.
• 40:29
  Speaker 8: It's called peace through strength.
• 40:33
  Speaker 13: Through our power and might, we will leave the world
• 40:36
  Speaker 13: to peace. Our friends will respect us, our enemies will
• 40:39
  Speaker 13: fear us, and the whole world will admire the unrivaled
• 40:43
  Speaker 13: greatness of the United States military. We will replenish the
• 40:48
  Speaker 13: pride of our armed forces and the recruitment crisis.
• 40:53
  Speaker 10: We don't fight because we hate what's in front of us.
• 40:57
  Speaker 8: We fight because we love us behind us.
• 41:02
  Speaker 13: God bless you, God bless our armpornsers, God bless our
• 41:06
  Speaker 13: men and women serving overseas, and God bless the United
• 41:10
  Speaker 13: States of America.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: Joining men as comedian and host of Primetime with Alex
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: Dahn on Blastava, Alex it MAXs you want to sign up.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: That is some inspiring stuff.
• 41:24
  Speaker 8: No doubt about it.
• 41:25
  Speaker 20: And now that young soldiers don't have to worry about
• 41:27
  Speaker 20: being basically under the thumb of a person with gender
• 41:31
  Speaker 20: dysphoria that's mentally ill. I think they have a lot
• 41:34
  Speaker 20: more confidence in joining the Armed Services. So I'm happy
• 41:37
  Speaker 20: that people like Rachel Levine are now banned from joining
• 41:40
  Speaker 20: the United States Armed Services. So Pete Haig Seth and
• 41:43
  Speaker 20: Donald Trump have given the American people, and especially the
• 41:45
  Speaker 20: young American.
• 41:46
  Speaker 8: People, faith into our arm services. It's beautiful.
• 41:50
  Speaker 20: I love to see it, and I can't wait for
• 41:52
  Speaker 20: more young people to sign up and actually support our
• 41:55
  Speaker 20: country in a positive way and not some sort of
• 41:57
  Speaker 20: weird LGBTQ gender mafia way.
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: Well, talking about l g b t Q I a community.
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: You've really been embraced by that community.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: It is Pride Month.
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: Let's just have a look at how you've been embraced.
• 42:21
  Speaker 20: Protect How are you going to protect a kid I cutting.
• 42:25
  Speaker 9: Off in genital No?
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: No, look at this.
• 42:36
  Speaker 8: Do you think I should kill me?
• 42:38
  Speaker 18: I hope you live forever.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry that you want me to kill myself.
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: Alex, that don't seem to like you.
• 42:46
  Speaker 20: No, Rita, but I mean there aren't a lot of
• 42:49
  Speaker 20: pharmaceutical drugs, and luckily for me, the estrogen hormone keeps
• 42:54
  Speaker 20: them pretty docile and pretty weak, so they're not too tough.
• 42:58
  Speaker 8: So thank goodness, I didn't look to do.
• 43:03
  Speaker 9: That.
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: Didn't look so docile where they were pouring water. I
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: hope it was water on you and coming after you.
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: Must be frightening. I know you joke about it, but
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: we've got a bunch of people.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: All worked up coming at you.
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: You must fear for your safety occasionally. But I want
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: to ask you about CNN. They had some disturbing news
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: to impart to their views.
• 43:27
  Speaker 18: Plus eight point advantage for the Republican Party.
• 43:30
  Speaker 9: How is that possible?
• 43:31
  Speaker 8: Democrats?
• 43:32
  Speaker 18: How is that possible? After all the recession, because after
• 43:34
  Speaker 18: the stock market's been doing all of this, after all
• 43:37
  Speaker 18: the terrorists that Americans are against, and Republicans still hold
• 43:40
  Speaker 18: an eight point lead on the economy.
• 43:42
  Speaker 16: Are you kidding me?
• 43:43
  Speaker 17: This is a CNN This is new CNN pulingd How
• 43:45
  Speaker 17: was that?
• 43:46
  Speaker 11: When we look for trends, how is that trending with
• 43:48
  Speaker 11: other data that you're pulling in.
• 43:49
  Speaker 18: Yeah, if it was just this one CNN pul that
• 43:51
  Speaker 18: would be one thing. But take a look at Reuter's ipsos.
• 43:54
  Speaker 18: What do we see here? Party with a better economic plan? Well,
• 43:57
  Speaker 18: it may have twenty twenty four, just before Donald Trump
• 44:00
  Speaker 18: was reelected president, Republicans had a nine point advantage. Look
• 44:03
  Speaker 18: at where we are now. In May of twenty twenty five,
• 44:06
  Speaker 18: the advantage actually went up by three points. Now Republicans
• 44:10
  Speaker 18: have a twelve point advantage when it comes to the
• 44:12
  Speaker 18: party with a better economic plan Alex.
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: They just can't understand why their own polling is showing
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: Trump winning on the economy.
• 44:22
  Speaker 20: Yeah, it's really not a hard equation to figure out.
• 44:25
  Speaker 20: And if you really just look at our economy now,
• 44:28
  Speaker 20: the fact that people actually have some faith that they
• 44:30
  Speaker 20: can actually go work and that industries are coming back
• 44:33
  Speaker 20: here in America, its just created so much of a
• 44:35
  Speaker 20: better lifestyle for the American people. And you know, when
• 44:38
  Speaker 20: it comes to the polling though, of course, these Democrats
• 44:42
  Speaker 20: are now changing. I mean, nobody predicted Donald Trump to
• 44:45
  Speaker 20: win in a landslide. So it just tells you that
• 44:47
  Speaker 20: even though the mainstream media is going to tell you
• 44:48
  Speaker 20: that the liberals are in charge, that everybody loves, you know,
• 44:51
  Speaker 20: Kamala Harris and progressiveness, that's not the case. There's been
• 44:54
  Speaker 20: a major shift and it's really in the conservative shavor
• 44:59
  Speaker 20: right now.
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: Well, those figures on who's best for the economy are
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: just overwhelmingly leaning Donald Trump's way, and he's had some
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: good data recently. Inflation is down, real wages are up,
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: and the tariffs haven't been the disaster that we were
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: told they were going to be. Just tell me how
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: that's seen in the US right now, particularly the tariff policy,
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: because obviously around the world we're very concerned about the tariffs.
• 45:33
  Speaker 20: Well, of course, Rita and I try to talk to
• 45:35
  Speaker 20: people that are in industries here in America, and the
• 45:37
  Speaker 20: car business isn't hurting that bad. But you know where
• 45:40
  Speaker 20: I've heard is hurting so far is Las Vegas.
• 45:42
  Speaker 8: They've lost a little bit of their international travelers, and
• 45:45
  Speaker 8: so they said, I swear Rita, that's what they said.
• 45:48
  Speaker 20: They said, Las Vegas is down a little bit right now,
• 45:50
  Speaker 20: but other than that, the economy is pretty good, and
• 45:52
  Speaker 20: if Las Vegas is down, it's probably better for society
• 45:55
  Speaker 20: if you ask me.
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: Well, we've got some more good news with a big
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: drop in fentanyl crossing the border.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: Washington Post calls.
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: It mysterious, this drop, but I don't think, alex it
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: is all that mysterious, and it's certainly going to save many,
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: many lives.
• 46:17
  Speaker 20: Reader doesn't it make you sick how they can just
• 46:20
  Speaker 20: pretend to be so naive. I mean, just the fact
• 46:22
  Speaker 20: that Donald Trump was able to shut down the border
• 46:24
  Speaker 20: in one day and make our country infinitely more safe
• 46:28
  Speaker 20: when it comes to all of the drugs in fentanyl,
• 46:32
  Speaker 20: and not only fentanyl, cocaine, meth amphetamines, all kinds of
• 46:35
  Speaker 20: drugs that are being you know, just taken into our
• 46:38
  Speaker 20: country by coyotes. So this is not a hard problem
• 46:41
  Speaker 20: to solve, and Donald Trump basically solved it, and for
• 46:43
  Speaker 20: them to try to placate it like it's some sort
• 46:45
  Speaker 20: of mystery, it just shows you how dumb the mainstream
• 46:48
  Speaker 20: media really is. And no offense the people the Sky
• 46:50
  Speaker 20: News are great, they are not so much.
• 46:55
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: We call it the leftist mainstream media. It's Donald trumpet
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: any credit at all. We know they hate him, and
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: it's just relentless negative coverage of all things Trump. But
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: for things like the border and you know, the fentanel
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: numbers dropping the economy, is there any credit going the
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: Trump administration's way yet?
• 47:21
  Speaker 20: Seriously, the only complaint that I have seen in Trump's
• 47:24
  Speaker 20: administration right now, because you know, I go to these
• 47:26
  Speaker 20: college campuses and I debate is the deportation of Abrego Garcia,
• 47:30
  Speaker 20: and honestly, a Brego Garcia, the Trump administration. You know,
• 47:33
  Speaker 20: they admit that they didn't give him fully due process,
• 47:35
  Speaker 20: but he came here illegally, so he got kicked out illegally.
• 47:37
  Speaker 20: And that's one person that's not the overwhelming majority of
• 47:41
  Speaker 20: you know, the situations when it comes to deporting people.
• 47:44
  Speaker 20: So other than that, I mean, when it comes to
• 47:46
  Speaker 20: the economy, when it comes to January sixth, when it
• 47:48
  Speaker 20: just comes to the overall you know, feelings that people have,
• 47:51
  Speaker 20: when it comes to our safety and especially our geopolitical relationships.
• 47:54
  Speaker 20: You know, people who have never been more satisfied than
• 47:58
  Speaker 20: in the past four years than we are today, especially
• 48:01
  Speaker 20: under you know, Joe Biden, sleepy, Joe alex Stein.
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: Thank you for your time, and that's all the time
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: we have. I'll see you tomorrow at eleven. Newsnight is
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: up next
