Speaker 1: Starting right now, The Rita Panahy Show. Good evening and
0:09
Speaker 1: welcome to The Rita Panahy Show.
0:11
Speaker 2: Coming up tonight, Treasury faces growing questions over its flawed
0:15
Speaker 2: modelling for the May budget. My panel will cover that
0:19
Speaker 2: and the day's other top headlines. Chris Bowen spends over
0:23
Speaker 2: $ 6 million on luxury hotel accommodation ahead of COP31. Professor
0:28
Speaker 2: Ian Plymer will give us his thoughts on that. Stella
0:31
Speaker 2: Escobedo will have the latest from the US, including increasing
0:35
Speaker 2: hostility between the Trump administration and Canada.
0:39
Speaker 1: And we'll have a look at Naomi Osaka's wild entrance
0:43
Speaker 1: at the US Open.
0:44
Speaker 2: Didi Dunleavy will have all your royal and entertainment news
0:48
Speaker 2: later in the hour. And Lefties Losing It features silly
0:52
Speaker 2: lefty women injecting race into the Lindsay Clancy case, blaming
0:56
Speaker 2: a white man for the crimes of a killer mum.
1:00
Speaker 3: This is why I stand on this hill, that being
1:02
Speaker 3: married to a white man is the most dangerous kind
1:05
Speaker 3: of man to be married to.
1:07
Speaker 2: But first, Treasury is facing growing backlash over its prediction
1:11
Speaker 2: that Labor's budget tax changes.
1:14
Speaker 1: Would reduce home growth by only 2%.
1:16
Speaker 2: It follows the Commonwealth Bank revisiting its forecast for home
1:21
Speaker 2: prices and saying the decline was faster than anticipated. And
1:25
Speaker 2: data from Cotality showed Sydney is on track for an
1:29
Speaker 2: annualised decline of 18.6%. That's the biggest decline in 40 years.
1:36
Speaker 2: Former Treasury official Jean Tunney said it was very difficult
1:40
Speaker 2: to figure out how Treasury came up with their numbers.
1:44
Speaker 2: He also warned keeping Treasury modelling secret was bad practice
1:48
Speaker 2: and was becoming increasingly standard. Joining me now is former
1:53
Speaker 2: Labor MP Michael Damby and One Nation Upper House candidate
1:57
Speaker 2: Colleen Harkin. Michael, Secretary to the Treasury Jenny Wilkinson has
2:02
Speaker 2: some tough questions to answer here.
2:05
Speaker 4: She does, and I agree that.
2:08
Speaker 5: with a former Treasury official, that the modelling needs to
2:11
Speaker 5: be openly and honestly based so that people can evaluate
2:16
Speaker 5: whether it's.
2:17
Speaker 4: True or not.
2:18
Speaker 5: There are aspects, particularly of, I know you're going to
2:22
Speaker 5: come to it probably later, Rita, of their income figures
2:27
Speaker 5: for young people that I'm absolutely convinced are wrong.
2:32
Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely.
2:33
Speaker 2: And, Colleen, we've got people already under mortgage stress. In fact,
2:38
Speaker 2: a record 1.79 million Australians are at risk of mortgage stress.
2:45
Speaker 2: We've had multiple rate rises from the RBA. There's anticipation
2:49
Speaker 2: of another one. And at the same time, they have
2:54
Speaker 2: gone ahead with these rogue policies that have crashed the market.
2:58
Speaker 6: And it's about give or take a third of all
3:01
Speaker 6: homeowners with a mortgage that are at risk of mortgage stress.
3:04
Speaker 7: That's an enormous figure.
3:06
Speaker 6: And they've tinkered around with the largest asset market in Australia.
3:11
Speaker 6: And for months and months and months, Chalmers and Clare
3:13
Speaker 6: O'Neill have been committing to this idea that it was
3:17
Speaker 6: only going to be a 2%. on the market, and
3:20
Speaker 6: almost 20% is extraordinary pressure. And simultaneously they've got this
3:25
Speaker 6: migration program that continues to put pressure on housing.
3:29
Speaker 7: You know, the real.
3:30
Speaker 6: conversation here to be had is produce the modelling. Like,
3:34
Speaker 6: what did you base this on?
3:36
Speaker 7: Who knew what? What were the consequences that you thought
3:38
Speaker 7: would happen?
3:39
Speaker 6: Because there's such a difference between 2% and 18%.
3:42
Speaker 7: Yes. It's not conceivable that.
3:45
Speaker 6: That was, like, what they do, just throw a dart
3:47
Speaker 6: and hope that it would make a bad policy.
3:49
Speaker 1: Well, they didn't even say that.
3:50
Speaker 2: They said it was going to slow growth by 2%,
3:52
Speaker 2: so they weren't even anticipating.
3:54
Speaker 1: There weren't any loss. And they were talking about a
3:56
Speaker 1: $ 2 increase. In rent.
3:59
Speaker 8: Correct.
3:59
Speaker 2: When we're talking about now modelling coming up from the NAB,
4:04
Speaker 2: from Ray White Group, from property experts saying we're going
4:07
Speaker 2: to see upwards of 30% increase, which was entirely predictable. Now,
4:12
Speaker 2: there is a fantastic piece in the Aus today.
4:14
Speaker 1: I'd encourage everyone to read it.
4:17
Speaker 2: It lists the seven key questions that Treasury must answer
4:21
Speaker 2: about its budget assumptions, as the old saying goes about
4:24
Speaker 2: financial modelling, garbage in, garbage out, and it seems Treasury
4:29
Speaker 2: has botched it. Here are some of the seven areas
4:32
Speaker 2: that require further explanation. Taxing real gains but ignoring real losses,
4:37
Speaker 2: that's the first one.
4:39
Speaker 1: Undercounting young investors.
4:40
Speaker 2: Now, again, this just shows you how shoddy Treasury's work is.
4:44
Speaker 2: They assumed only one in 10 people under 35 would
4:49
Speaker 2: own shares, and they base this entirely on the number
4:52
Speaker 2: of people reporting Australian dividend income. Again, like if you've
4:56
Speaker 2: got any financial knowledge, you understand why that's idiotic. Ignoring
5:01
Speaker 2: the valuation bill, pick four, cherry picking international comparisons. Treasury
5:07
Speaker 2: says Australia's proposed capital gains tax rates are consistent with
5:12
Speaker 2: with comparable countries like the US. But guys, guess what
5:16
Speaker 2: they did? They looked at high taxing California rather than
5:20
Speaker 2: low taxing Texas or Florida. So that's what we mean
5:22
Speaker 2: by cherry picking. They pretending landlords won't pass.
5:26
Speaker 1: On high costs.
5:27
Speaker 2: Again, I mean, it's almost hard to be that ignorant.
5:31
Speaker 2: Assumed investors won't change their behaviour. And lastly, ignoring the
5:37
Speaker 2: cost of locking up capital. Oh, Michael, if Treasury's assumptions
5:43
Speaker 2: are wrong, the reforms may produce very different outcomes from
5:48
Speaker 2: those the government has promised, and we're already seeing that.
5:52
Speaker 5: Well, let's just go back to what you were just saying.
5:54
Speaker 5: $ 2 rent increases. I think poor old housing minister doesn't
6:00
Speaker 5: know what's going on. If you're looking at the market
6:03
Speaker 5: in Melbourne, say a one-bedroom apartment apartment that's $ 500 a week,
6:11
Speaker 5: it's going to go up $ 100, not $ 2. So my
6:15
Speaker 5: poor predecessor was caught like a deer in the headlights
6:22
Speaker 5: by News 24 the other day. And let's look at
6:26
Speaker 5: the assumptions with some of the young people investors. Some
6:30
Speaker 5: of them are mugs like me who've invested in shares
6:33
Speaker 5: like Webjet, which don't issue They were hoping to get
6:37
Speaker 5: a capital gain.
6:39
Speaker 4: So, you know, that's a wrong assumption.
6:42
Speaker 5: And some of these young people naturally invest in Bitcoin
6:47
Speaker 5: and overseas products. So none of them are included. This
6:53
Speaker 5: modelling is very poor. And what we know about it
6:56
Speaker 5: is pathetic. And you can't base the kinds of figures
7:00
Speaker 5: that they've got on assumptions that are wrong like that.
7:04
Speaker 2: The bureaucracy seems to be politicised, Colleen, because you look
7:09
Speaker 2: at these figures, of course, all of them centred in
7:12
Speaker 2: the ACT, divorced from the rest of the country. We
7:16
Speaker 2: know the ACT is a very different place than the
7:18
Speaker 2: rest of the country. And I think when you have
7:22
Speaker 2: ideology and politics mixed in, that's how you get results
7:26
Speaker 2: like this.
7:27
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I mean, how could you possibly change such
7:30
Speaker 6: a significant tax and and expect no change, no consequences
7:35
Speaker 6: of that change.
7:35
Speaker 7: I mean, frankly, it's just dumb.
7:37
Speaker 6: There's no sort of like genuine academic or integrity into
7:42
Speaker 6: the process that you say, if you're going to change
7:45
Speaker 6: the return for an investor, that they won't do anything,
7:48
Speaker 6: that they'll just suck it up. And it's just economics 101.
7:52
Speaker 6: Investors are there for a reason. They're there to make
7:54
Speaker 6: a profit. That's what they're supposed to do.
7:56
Speaker 8: But we've got bureaucrats.
7:58
Speaker 2: I would imagine, very similar to the Albanese government who
8:01
Speaker 2: have very limited private sector experience, no small business experience,
8:07
Speaker 2: haven't run their own operations. And I think that's how
8:10
Speaker 2: you get these sorts of results. Now, let's move on
8:13
Speaker 2: to our One Nation leader, Pauline Hanson. warning parents about
8:18
Speaker 2: their children being brainwashed by left-leaning teachers.
8:21
Speaker 1: This has upset the teachers today.
8:24
Speaker 2: Pauline Hanson said educators are indoctrinating kids with Marxism, are
8:29
Speaker 2: grooming them into believing they can be a boy one
8:31
Speaker 2: day and a girl the next, and are recruiting them
8:34
Speaker 2: as social justice warriors. Now, Colleen, teachers have called this
8:39
Speaker 2: divisive and claimed that it could incite violence.
8:42
Speaker 1: I mean, really?
8:43
Speaker 2: We're We had student-led protest encouraged by activist teachers a
8:47
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago where you had teenagers openly in
8:51
Speaker 2: the streets screaming for Pauline Hanson to be murdered. I
8:55
Speaker 2: would have thought that was inciting violence, not pointing out
8:58
Speaker 2: that indoctrination is probably not.
9:00
Speaker 1: A good thing.
9:00
Speaker 8: No, correct.
9:01
Speaker 6: And look, I mean, the average teacher goes into a
9:03
Speaker 6: classroom wanting better for their students. There's no doubt about that.
9:07
Speaker 6: But teachers are given a curriculum and the national curriculum
9:10
Speaker 6: is embedded.
9:11
Speaker 7: There is, you know, everything about it.
9:13
Speaker 6: It actually mandates that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history
9:17
Speaker 6: and culture and sustainability are the priorities. It doesn't say
9:20
Speaker 6: maths and reading and writing are the priorities. And within those,
9:24
Speaker 6: there is an activist agenda.
9:26
Speaker 7: It is quite clear.
9:26
Speaker 6: Anybody who wants to go and have a look at
9:28
Speaker 6: the national curriculum, it's there hiding in plain sight. And
9:32
Speaker 6: as an example, there are also third-party providers that go
9:35
Speaker 6: into schools. And as an example, one of them teaches
9:38
Speaker 6: kids to sit for the national anthem. Now, parents have
9:41
Speaker 6: every right to know what their kids are being taught.
9:44
Speaker 6: what they're being exposed to. The government is not a co-parent.
9:48
Speaker 1: Parents have a.
9:48
Speaker 6: Right to know what their children are being exposed to.
9:51
Speaker 6: And the national curriculum is embedded with ideology and activist agenda.
9:55
Speaker 1: Oh, that is so clear. And I think it's one
9:57
Speaker 1: of the reasons....
10:00
Speaker 2: So many conservative voters are fed up with the coalition,
10:03
Speaker 2: because when they're in power, they talk about this, but
10:05
Speaker 2: they don't really do anything to change it. And that's
10:08
Speaker 2: why we've got One Nation leading the polls. Now, let's
10:11
Speaker 2: go to Queensland. Premier David Christopher has doubled down on
10:15
Speaker 2: his promise to overhaul the way people vote in that state.
10:19
Speaker 2: In the state elections, Christopher fully confirmed he would introduce
10:23
Speaker 2: optional preferential voting, which would allow Queenslanders to vote for
10:27
Speaker 2: one candidate only instead of numbering every box.
10:30
Speaker 1: Michael, this is going to give.
10:33
Speaker 2: A big boost for One Nation at the 2028 Queensland
10:36
Speaker 2: state election, but the Premier said he's not going to
10:40
Speaker 2: change his stance just because of the rise of One Nation.
10:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like I'll cut off my nose to spite
10:48
Speaker 5: my face. Look, optional preferential is a very troubling system,
10:54
Speaker 5: if you ask me. The reason we have preferential voting
10:57
Speaker 5: is because we want to reassure voters that at least 50%
11:02
Speaker 5: of people, if you get a second preference or a
11:05
Speaker 5: third preference, prefer that person to the alternative. I could
11:10
Speaker 5: see One Nation doing a little better But I could
11:16
Speaker 5: see a much more divided system like they have in
11:18
Speaker 5: the United Kingdom where parties with 30%.
11:24
Speaker 4: Of the votes get 400 seats.
11:26
Speaker 5: Do we want that? I think this is... I can't
11:31
Speaker 5: understand a Liberal Party Premier advocating for this. It might
11:34
Speaker 5: benefit One Nation.
11:37
Speaker 2: But arguably we've got that already. We've got the Albanese
11:40
Speaker 2: government with... one in three first preferences winning in a landslide.
11:46
Speaker 2: So that can happen with a preferential system as well.
11:50
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I think the bigger issue here is if
11:53
Speaker 6: it is a good reform, an electoral reform, it should
11:56
Speaker 6: be done in principle, not because it benefits one particular party,
12:00
Speaker 6: not because it's engineering some particular result. Any changes to
12:03
Speaker 6: the Reform Act should be empowering voters to use their
12:07
Speaker 6: vote the way that they want it to, not whether
12:10
Speaker 6: it's actually going to benefit any particular party.
12:13
Speaker 1: Now, we'll stay in Queensland.
12:14
Speaker 2: This is an incredible story of a vicious machete attack
12:18
Speaker 2: on a truck in a road rage incident just hours
12:21
Speaker 2: after he had pled guilty to a brutal assault on
12:24
Speaker 2: a Brisbane bus driver. Now, the machete attack happened on
12:27
Speaker 2: August 27 last year and yesterday he was sentenced to
12:31
Speaker 2: three years jail.
12:32
Speaker 1: But for the bus.
12:33
Speaker 2: Attack, he received a six-month suspended sentence and was spared
12:38
Speaker 2: any jail time even though he This was a vicious
12:42
Speaker 2: attack and the following footage is distressing.
12:45
Speaker 9: Stop it!
12:47
Speaker 8: Stop it!
12:59
Speaker 2: As you can see in that footage, Echibikida by Mwingu
13:02
Speaker 2: repeatedly punched the driver. But Colleen, he was bailed for
13:07
Speaker 2: that and within hours he was waving a machete around.
13:12
Speaker 7: Our judges just have to do better.
13:14
Speaker 6: That does not meet community expectations at all. The fact
13:18
Speaker 6: that he did that crime within a few hours, there's
13:22
Speaker 6: no recognition of him that he's done anything wrong. He's
13:24
Speaker 6: just out and about and doing exactly the same thing.
13:26
Speaker 6: And I think that that's part and parcel of what
13:28
Speaker 6: the community is sick to death of is it's actually
13:31
Speaker 6: a waste of our time and our money to let
13:34
Speaker 6: that guy back out on the streets within a couple
13:35
Speaker 6: of hours. People want better and our judges just have to,
13:39
Speaker 6: you know, give sentences that reflect community expectation.
13:43
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
13:44
Speaker 2: And that footage with the bus driver is really distressing
13:47
Speaker 2: and also distressing is that people watched. There was one
13:51
Speaker 2: man who stood up and got up, and I think
13:53
Speaker 2: that's when the assault came to an end. But I
13:58
Speaker 2: think people have just been cowed into not reacting, not
14:04
Speaker 2: being a good Samaritan because they're fearful of what could
14:08
Speaker 2: happen to them.
14:08
Speaker 1: Well, yeah.
14:09
Speaker 6: Well, the problem is there are cases where people have
14:11
Speaker 6: stood up and they've, you know, paid the price for it.
14:14
Speaker 6: And then what happens to the person who Who did that?
14:17
Speaker 6: There isn't this circle of closing the violence. So I
14:21
Speaker 6: think people are more reluctant to stand up now.
14:24
Speaker 1: Colleen Harkin, Michael Danby, thank you so much for your
14:27
Speaker 1: time tonight.
14:31
Speaker 2: Now, Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen has spent more than
14:34
Speaker 2: $ 6 million on luxury hotel accommodation in just a few months.
14:39
Speaker 2: That includes two bookings of $ 2 million each for his
14:44
Speaker 2: pre-COP31 meetings in Fiji. The Daily Telegraph also confirmed the
14:49
Speaker 2: Climate Change Department tendered contracts worth $ 995, 000 with Crowne Plaza
14:56
Speaker 2: in Fiji. Joining me now is esteemed geologist, author and
15:01
Speaker 2: executive director of Hancock Energy, Professor Ian Plymer. Ian, the
15:05
Speaker 2: situation is even worse than initial reports. The Australian is
15:10
Speaker 2: reporting these pre-COP events organised by Chris Bowen in Fiji
15:14
Speaker 2: and Tuvalu have so far secured RSVPs from just five
15:19
Speaker 2: non-Pacific leaders, despite invitations going to presidents and prime ministers
15:25
Speaker 2: across the world. And let's have a look at those
15:28
Speaker 2: five non-Pacific nations attending. It will be the leaders of
15:33
Speaker 2: Antigua and Barbado, Cabo Verde, I mean that country with
15:39
Speaker 2: 500,000 people, barely a country, Thailand, Maldives and East Timor.
15:44
Speaker 2: These are the superpowers attending the early October events, which
15:50
Speaker 2: will set the scene for COP31 talks in Turkey the
15:53
Speaker 2: following month, Ian.
15:56
Speaker 10: Well, this is obscene waste.
15:58
Speaker 4: Mr.
15:59
Speaker 10: Bowen has access to our funds, our taxpayer money, and
16:03
Speaker 10: he's just blowing it on jaunts, which are absolutely and
16:07
Speaker 10: totally useless. Now, the reason why the major countries haven't
16:11
Speaker 10: gone to Fiji is that they're trying to avoid Chris Bowen.
16:15
Speaker 10: And why wouldn't they?
16:15
Speaker 1: So.
16:19
Speaker 10: We have a climate change minister who just does not
16:22
Speaker 10: care about taxpayers. He wants to have jaunts for all
16:26
Speaker 10: of his colleagues. And I just think this is so
16:30
Speaker 10: obscene that the taxpayer should think about this next time
16:34
Speaker 10: they vote. This man is totally and absolutely out of
16:37
Speaker 10: control with our checkbook.
16:41
Speaker 2: Well, these cost $ 6 million in a few months on
16:44
Speaker 2: luxury hotels. These costs are a drop in the ocean
16:48
Speaker 2: compared to what Chris Bowen is costing the country with
16:51
Speaker 2: his climate and energy policies and the ideological zealotry that
16:57
Speaker 2: he seems to bring to every decision, Ian.
17:00
Speaker 10: Well, the policies are costing this country billions and over
17:04
Speaker 10: time trillions. We once had cheap, reliable electricity. He now,
17:09
Speaker 10: for ideological reasons, is getting rid of this. So everyone
17:13
Speaker 10: is paying more. Everyone is paying more for their electricity
17:16
Speaker 10: and everything they buy. And this is because apparently carbon
17:21
Speaker 10: dioxide drives climate change. It's never been shown that carbon
17:25
Speaker 10: dioxide drives climate change, let alone human emissions of carbon dioxide.
17:30
Speaker 10: So this is an appalling waste of money based on
17:33
Speaker 10: an ideology which is scientifically incorrect. This man is wasting
17:39
Speaker 10: so much money that he'll go down in history as
17:42
Speaker 10: being the person who's wasted the most money in Australia
17:46
Speaker 10: for the least return.
17:49
Speaker 2: Now, what do you say to the predictions of Australia
17:53
Speaker 2: doing a U-turn on these closures of coal plants? Because
17:58
Speaker 2: we're just not going to have enough energy in the
18:00
Speaker 2: grid to be able to keep.
18:02
Speaker 1: The lights on.
18:02
Speaker 2: That when it comes to that 11th hour, we're going
18:06
Speaker 2: to find a way out of these policy positions.
18:10
Speaker 1: Can you see that.
18:11
Speaker 2: Happening after all the promises and all the planning that
18:15
Speaker 2: has gone into these decisions that we're going to do
18:19
Speaker 2: a U-turn at the critical moment?
18:21
Speaker 10: Well, it has to happen. We've gone now to the
18:26
Speaker 10: state where we're in a dangerous position with our electricity,
18:30
Speaker 10: with our grids and with the backup systems. Already, we
18:35
Speaker 10: have 60% of our power, which comes from coal. Now,
18:38
Speaker 10: if we go any less, we're going to have no
18:40
Speaker 10: power and we have to do a U-turn. Our power
18:45
Speaker 10: in this state, South Australia, comes from Queensland and it
18:48
Speaker 10: comes from Victorian brown coal. And we would be the
18:52
Speaker 10: first one off the grid in South Australia if a
18:56
Speaker 10: coal-fired power station shut in Queensland or if one shut
18:59
Speaker 10: in Victoria. So we're in a critical situation in this
19:02
Speaker 10: country where we have huge amounts of coal. We have
19:06
Speaker 10: thousands of years of coal. We're not using it. We
19:09
Speaker 10: once did and the country was a cheap country. So
19:12
Speaker 10: there will have to be a U-turn. I don't know
19:14
Speaker 10: how they're going to wriggle to get out of the
19:16
Speaker 10: position they put themselves in, but that's their problem.
19:20
Speaker 1: They're going to have to do it.
19:21
Speaker 2: You're absolutely right, because the reality is going to catch
19:25
Speaker 2: up with them. We cannot have regular blackouts. We cannot
19:29
Speaker 2: turn into South Africa. And that's going to happen if
19:33
Speaker 2: we press ahead with the current plans, because we don't
19:37
Speaker 2: have the battery back up. It doesn't exist to be
19:40
Speaker 2: able to cope with that disruption to supply. Now, let's
19:45
Speaker 2: have a look at how petty and nasty the Australian
19:48
Speaker 2: Conservation Foundation has become. You may have seen a young
19:52
Speaker 2: Will Shackle on this station. You may have seen him
19:55
Speaker 2: on other media. He's the founder of Nuclear for Australia,
19:59
Speaker 2: the country's leading grassroots organisation championing the advancement of nuclear power.
20:05
Speaker 1: He's only 18 years old.
20:07
Speaker 2: Delightfully polite and passionate young man, but the nasty Karens
20:12
Speaker 2: of the Australian Conservation Foundation have made a point of
20:15
Speaker 2: rejecting his $ 2 a month donation. Ian, he tweeted about
20:21
Speaker 2: this because, Ian, they say his nuclear advocacy isn't compatible
20:28
Speaker 2: with their objectives. So they've refunded the money he's already
20:33
Speaker 2: donated and rejected any further donations.
20:37
Speaker 10: Well, this is laughable. The Australian Conservation Foundation some 30
20:41
Speaker 10: years ago became an advocacy group. It forgot conservation and
20:45
Speaker 10: started to support the Chinese wind and solar instruments that
20:51
Speaker 10: have been put into this country. I once also used
20:54
Speaker 10: to donate to the Australian Conservation Foundation. When they became
20:57
Speaker 10: a political activist group, I stopped donating. So they're true
21:01
Speaker 10: to form. And Will Shackle is an absolutely outstanding young
21:05
Speaker 10: man who is advocating something which is eminently sensible. And
21:09
Speaker 10: that is that this country should be nuclear. We already
21:13
Speaker 10: have the nuclear capability. We've had reactors in this country
21:17
Speaker 10: since 1958. Lucas Heights went into operation in 1958. And
21:23
Speaker 10: since then, we're on to our second reactor. We have
21:25
Speaker 10: the technical skills. We have the uranium. We should be nuclear.
21:30
Speaker 10: We should have been nuclear a hell of a long
21:31
Speaker 10: time ago. And Will Shackle has done his homework and,
21:35
Speaker 10: unlike a lot of 18-year-olds, talks a lot of sense.
21:38
Speaker 10: So I think this shows that the HDF are a
21:41
Speaker 10: pathetic little organisation that are only concerned about their activism
21:47
Speaker 10: and not concerned about anything else.
21:51
Speaker 1: Professor Ian Plymer, thank you so much for your time.
21:53
Speaker 10: Good night.
21:54
Speaker 2: Coming up, lefties losing it and the increasing hostility between
21:59
Speaker 2: the Trump administration and Canada.
22:03
Speaker 1: Stella Skibito has the details. Welcome back.
22:16
Speaker 2: It's time for Lefties Losing It and a newbie to
22:19
Speaker 2: the dysfunctional lefty family. I think this may be his
22:23
Speaker 2: debut in the segment. This is Democrat Congressman Maxwell Frost.
22:27
Speaker 2: who is so desperate to play the victim, so eager
22:30
Speaker 2: to wrap himself in the warm cloak of victimhood, that
22:34
Speaker 2: he somehow forgets he is living the American dream, from
22:38
Speaker 2: Uber driver to a powerful politician.
22:41
Speaker 11: I don't have a ton of money in a bank
22:42
Speaker 11: account when I decided to run for office, so I
22:44
Speaker 11: had to hustle and make ends meet, which is the
22:46
Speaker 11: thing that you all are telling Gen Z.
22:48
Speaker 4: So that's the American dream. You lived it. I'm living
22:50
Speaker 4: the American dream.
22:52
Speaker 1: So you don't.
22:53
Speaker 11: No, that's not living the American dream.
22:55
Speaker 9: No, it's not.
22:55
Speaker 8: How is it not?
22:57
Speaker 11: The American dream isn't driving Uber to barely make ends meet.
23:01
Speaker 11: The American dream is upward mobility and being able to
23:04
Speaker 11: have success.
23:06
Speaker 1: The American dream is upward mobility? You were an Uber
23:10
Speaker 1: driver five minutes ago.
23:11
Speaker 2: Now you're a congressman. You'll be a millionaire in no
23:14
Speaker 2: time if you're not already. How is that not upwardly mobile? Now,
23:20
Speaker 2: we featured Governor, New York Governor Kathy Hochul, betraying her
23:24
Speaker 2: feminist roots earlier in the week by donning a hijab.
23:28
Speaker 2: But as The Daily Wire reminded us, she's not alone.
23:31
Speaker 2: The cowardice, the hypocrisy is rife among Democrat women. Here
23:36
Speaker 2: are a couple more examples.
23:38
Speaker 8: Diminish women to subjugate them. And I say, just leave
23:42
Speaker 8: us alone. You'll never be defeated!
23:49
Speaker 1: Fight to make sure that my daughter and your child
23:53
Speaker 1: have rights.
23:56
Speaker 2: Now let's hear from Bikini Kill lead singer Kathleen Hanna
24:00
Speaker 2: telling her audience to tell cis white men and incels
24:04
Speaker 2: to stop treating women poorly.
24:07
Speaker 11: And if you're a cis white.
24:08
Speaker 12: Man, you tell your f * * * ing friends
24:10
Speaker 12: to stop treating women like s * * *.
24:11
Speaker 13: F * * *!
24:22
Speaker 1: Now to the Lindsay Clancy case.
24:24
Speaker 2: And as I've often said, it only takes one activist
24:27
Speaker 2: nutter on a jury to completely corrupt the entire process.
24:30
Speaker 1: That's why jury selection is so important.
24:34
Speaker 2: We have seen all sorts of craziness from this case,
24:37
Speaker 2: including people openly accusing Patrick Clancy of triple murder. Actress
24:43
Speaker 2: and professional idiot Lisa Rinna did just that more than once.
24:47
Speaker 2: And she doesn't seem to be too concerned with Patrick
24:50
Speaker 2: Clancy's attorney saying they're going to sue those defaming the
24:54
Speaker 2: grieving father.
24:55
Speaker 12: I can have my opinion. I can say whatever I
24:57
Speaker 12: want on my platforms. It's called free speech. And any
25:04
Speaker 12: sort of opinions that you have, I don't give.
25:08
Speaker 1: A * * * *.
25:09
Speaker 12: These are my opinions. This is my page. And that's that.
25:16
Speaker 12: So if you don't like it, tough.
25:19
Speaker 1: Oh, dear, Lisa. Slander is not free speech.
25:22
Speaker 2: You could not defame someone by calling them a triple
25:25
Speaker 2: murderer and claim.
25:27
Speaker 1: Free speech as a defence.
25:29
Speaker 2: Most of these lefties don't even believe in free speech
25:32
Speaker 2: to begin with. Now, here is a woman challenging Lisa
25:35
Speaker 2: Rina in the professional idiot stakes. She somehow manages to
25:39
Speaker 2: inject race into the equation.
25:42
Speaker 3: Imagine for a minute, if you will, if Patrick Clancy
25:47
Speaker 3: was a black man. This is why I stand on
25:53
Speaker 3: this hill, that being married to a white man is
25:55
Speaker 3: the most dangerous kind of man to be married to.
25:59
Speaker 2: Well, statistically, that is 100% wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. But
26:04
Speaker 2: somehow a white woman killing her three children is the
26:08
Speaker 2: fault of a white man.
26:10
Speaker 1: Try to work that out.
26:12
Speaker 2: The mass psychosis afflicting American women, American liberal women, did
26:17
Speaker 2: not start with this trial and it won't end with
26:20
Speaker 2: this trial. One thing is clear, they're not well. Okay,
26:30
Speaker 2: here are two more women who are doing more damage
26:33
Speaker 2: to the women's movement than all the online misogynists put together.
26:37
Speaker 2: Here they are fawning over a defence attorney, a man
26:41
Speaker 2: paid to defend a child killer.
26:44
Speaker 1: Houston wants you.
26:45
Speaker 8: Thank you.
26:46
Speaker 1: I wish someone would help my daughter.
26:49
Speaker 14: Thank you. Where should we go eat a steak?
26:58
Speaker 13: We want to take you out for a steak dinner,
27:00
Speaker 13: Mr Reddington.
27:01
Speaker 1: My daughter, you know that she's through now.
27:04
Speaker 2: I had my mental health weaponised.
27:06
Speaker 1: Against me and family.
27:08
Speaker 5: I had an issue whenever my son was.
27:10
Speaker 1: I bet you did.
27:11
Speaker 2: Now, Canada may be rid of the himbo, the male bimbo,
27:15
Speaker 2: Prince of Performative Caring Justin Trudeau, but they have another
27:20
Speaker 2: leftist fool as Prime Minister and Mark Carney thinks he
27:23
Speaker 2: can threaten and intimidate the United States of America. Let's
27:27
Speaker 2: hear from Treasury Secretary Scott Besant reading Canada to Filth.
27:32
Speaker 9: I think this is very unfortunate that Prime Minister Carney
27:36
Speaker 9: has turned this into a political shouting match. I mean,
27:40
Speaker 9: we're not at war with Canada. How are we going
27:42
Speaker 9: to be at war with Canada? Are they going to
27:43
Speaker 9: take their two submarines from the Edmonton Mall and sick
27:46
Speaker 9: them on us?
27:48
Speaker 2: Joining me now is Emmy award-winning journalist and host of
27:52
Speaker 2: Stellar News, Stella Escobedo.
27:55
Speaker 1: Stella, Mark Carney continues.
27:57
Speaker 2: To run his anti-US, anti-Trump narrative, which is isn't great
28:02
Speaker 2: for the Canadian people when Canada has really no cards
28:05
Speaker 2: to play when dealing with the U.S.
28:08
Speaker 4: Correct.
28:08
Speaker 1: Hi, Rita.
28:09
Speaker 13: Yeah, listen, he continues to capitulate to the audience, to
28:12
Speaker 13: the people that, you know, help get him elected. But
28:14
Speaker 13: it's really interesting because if Canada, according to Mark Carney,
28:18
Speaker 13: is an ally, then they should really act like allies,
28:21
Speaker 13: or he is, because I think majority of Canadians love America. But,
28:26
Speaker 13: you know, to go into negotiations, walk away from negotiations,
28:30
Speaker 13: then call it an act of war and then act
28:32
Speaker 13: surprised when the Trump administration is like, not so much.
28:36
Speaker 13: You know, our economy is better than yours, you know,
28:40
Speaker 13: and Trump and Besant are calling it what it is. They're,
28:44
Speaker 13: you know, showing the hand that. America is in charge here.
28:47
Speaker 13: America does have the upper hand. America does have the
28:50
Speaker 13: better economy. So again, Mark Carney continues to capitulate to
28:55
Speaker 13: the voters that helped get him elected. But the truth
28:59
Speaker 13: of the matter, this is not a campaign rally anymore.
29:01
Speaker 13: This is serious business.
29:04
Speaker 1: He needs to remember he's Prime Minister now.
29:06
Speaker 2: He's not an opposition leader or he's not campaigning to
29:10
Speaker 2: become Prime Minister.
29:12
Speaker 1: He's now in charge.
29:13
Speaker 2: He's got to actually act like an adult and do
29:15
Speaker 2: what's best for the Canadian people.
29:18
Speaker 1: Now, let's look at some of the polling leading up
29:21
Speaker 1: to the midterms.
29:22
Speaker 2: New York Post is reporting Republicans are trailing in eight
29:26
Speaker 2: of the major battleground Senate races just two months out
29:30
Speaker 2: from Election Day. Now, this is according to the Real
29:33
Speaker 2: Clear Politics aggregate of polling data. Republicans have been widely
29:38
Speaker 2: seen as the underdogs for control of the House due
29:41
Speaker 2: to historical trends at midterms against the party in control
29:45
Speaker 2: of the White House. But Stella, the pollsters are telling
29:48
Speaker 2: us the Senate map is starting to look increasingly fraught
29:52
Speaker 2: for the GOP, even in once reliably red states like
29:56
Speaker 2: Texas and Ohio. What do you think about this? Because
30:00
Speaker 2: I've heard these threats before. I've heard this narrative before.
30:04
Speaker 2: We've been told Texas is in jeopardy.
30:08
Speaker 1: And it never turns out that way on polling day.
30:11
Speaker 13: Well, it's interesting that you bring up Texas because Texas
30:15
Speaker 13: had the biggest turnout, I think, since like 2016, like
30:19
Speaker 13: a huge number. of people turned out. These were Republicans.
30:23
Speaker 13: But yeah, we've heard this before. We heard this in 2016.
30:25
Speaker 13: We heard this in 2024. But what's interesting, Rita, is
30:28
Speaker 13: I did look into this and a lot of these
30:30
Speaker 13: states that are saying that are going to turn blue,
30:34
Speaker 13: they're within a margin of error. We're looking, you know
30:36
Speaker 13: what I'm saying? And it's only September and until November,
30:41
Speaker 13: which is two months from now, it's a lifetime when it.
30:43
Speaker 1: Comes to elections. So a lot can change.
30:46
Speaker 2: Stella, let's have a look at a Democrat who did
30:49
Speaker 2: have hopes of being the next president of the United States.
30:53
Speaker 1: It has not worked out.
30:54
Speaker 2: Here is new footage showing FBI agents waiting for former
30:58
Speaker 2: Democrat Congressman Eric Swalwell as he stepped off a plane
31:02
Speaker 2: at San Francisco International Airport, seizing his phone and laptop
31:06
Speaker 2: as part of a federal criminal investigation.
31:09
Speaker 1: Look at him there. He's wearing a cap and a
31:11
Speaker 1: hoodie looking like a Unabomber.
31:13
Speaker 2: Stella, this encounter happened on August 15 after Swalwell resigned
31:18
Speaker 2: from Congress amid mounting sexual misconduct allegations, which he denies.
31:24
Speaker 2: And we know the FBI also searched his DC home.
31:28
Speaker 2: He was in a sexual relationship with a Chinese spy
31:33
Speaker 2: during his term in office.
31:35
Speaker 1: We all remember Fang Fang. Stella, what is this latest story?
31:39
Speaker 1: investigation about?
31:40
Speaker 13: Well, it just appears that Mr. Feng Feng is back
31:44
Speaker 13: in the headlines, right? I mean, look, this was a
31:48
Speaker 13: congressman for seven terms. And as you mentioned, he also
31:53
Speaker 13: ran for governor of California, which he just had to
31:56
Speaker 13: drop out because of sexual assault allegations. This was the
32:00
Speaker 13: same guy who championed the Me Too movement. Right. And
32:05
Speaker 13: this was also, you know, the same guy who was
32:08
Speaker 13: a really big critic of President Donald Trump. Remember the
32:12
Speaker 13: impeachment trials when Mar-a-Lago was raided? I think it was 2022.
32:16
Speaker 13: He basically came out and tweeted and said, get off
32:18
Speaker 13: the Trump train, the Trump train. So the irony is
32:21
Speaker 13: kind of writing itself. He's accused President Trump of so
32:25
Speaker 13: many things. And now it appears he's under federal investigation himself.
32:30
Speaker 9: Yeah.
32:33
Speaker 2: Yes, I could not believe the way the Democrats just
32:38
Speaker 2: really just pretended the whole Fang Fang thing didn't happen.
32:40
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a pretty big deal.
32:42
Speaker 2: You've got a congressman who is intimately involved with a
32:46
Speaker 2: Chinese spy whilst he's in Congress, and they just pretend
32:50
Speaker 2: like it never happened. And they allowed him to have
32:53
Speaker 2: all sorts of access to information that Really, he had
32:57
Speaker 2: no business having access to after those sorts of lapses
33:01
Speaker 2: in judgment, if you want to call them that.
33:03
Speaker 1: Now, the father of.
33:04
Speaker 2: A seven-year-old girl who was left permanently disabled after being
33:08
Speaker 2: struck by an 18-wheeler driven by a criminal illegal immigrant
33:13
Speaker 2: has torn strips of Democrat lawmakers during a fiery Capitol
33:18
Speaker 2: Hill hearing. Marcus Coleman said keeping Americans safe should not
33:23
Speaker 2: be a partisan issue. and he told the Democrats he
33:26
Speaker 2: rejected their fake sympathy.
33:28
Speaker 15: When I took my daughter in at night time, she's
33:30
Speaker 15: not a Republican, she's not a Democrat. She's seven years old.
33:35
Speaker 15: And there's hundreds of them. How is that OK? How
33:40
Speaker 15: are you guys not fighting for this? Right here, how
33:43
Speaker 15: are you guys not fighting for this? I reject your guys' sympathy,
33:49
Speaker 15: to be honest with you. There's no way you guys
33:51
Speaker 15: are sorry. Not one of you guys have ever called me.
33:54
Speaker 15: Not one of you guys have ever reached out to me.
33:55
Speaker 15: Not one of you guys have ever sat there and
33:57
Speaker 15: seen me in the hallways and said, hey, sorry about
33:59
Speaker 15: your daughter. You guys do it right here while you
34:01
Speaker 15: guys are grandstanding on top of your soapbox. This is
34:04
Speaker 15: when you guys care.
34:05
Speaker 8: Yep.
34:05
Speaker 2: You can see the Democrats, they're squirming in their seats. Now,
34:10
Speaker 2: this little girl, Delilah Coleman, was critically injured when an
34:14
Speaker 2: 18-wheeler driven by Patap Singh slammed into the vehicle she
34:18
Speaker 2: was traveling. Singh, is an illegal immigrant from India who
34:22
Speaker 2: had obtained a commercial driver's licence in California.
34:25
Speaker 1: And that's the issue here, Stella.
34:27
Speaker 2: Democrats' sanctuary policies in states like California, Colorado and Maryland,
34:33
Speaker 2: they are complicit in allowing these crimes to happen. This
34:38
Speaker 2: guy had no business having a commercial driver's licence.
34:42
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Rita.
34:43
Speaker 13: I live in one of those states, which is the
34:45
Speaker 13: state of California, and I can't get away with a
34:47
Speaker 13: parking ticket because they'll track me down, but they will
34:51
Speaker 13: allow illegal aliens to do everything and anything that they want.
34:55
Speaker 13: They can vote here in the state of California just
34:57
Speaker 13: with a gym membership. They can walk in and get
34:59
Speaker 13: a driver's license at the DMV by showing a passport,
35:03
Speaker 13: even though they broke the law by being in this
35:05
Speaker 13: country illegally. I have to tell you, listening to this father,
35:09
Speaker 13: The Democrats don't care. They created this problem. They imported
35:14
Speaker 13: this people into this country. How many more Americans need
35:18
Speaker 13: to get injured or die at the hands of illegal immigrants?
35:22
Speaker 13: You heard all those young women who've been murdered by
35:28
Speaker 13: these illegal immigrants say their names, right? Jocelyn Nungre, Rachel Morin,
35:33
Speaker 13: Lakin Riley. I can go on and on and on.
35:36
Speaker 13: How many more Americans need to die or be injured? Again,
35:40
Speaker 13: they do not care. They created this mess. That's why
35:43
Speaker 13: this father will never get a call from them.
35:48
Speaker 2: No, but when they're on camera where they are in
35:51
Speaker 2: that setting, they will tell him everything he wants to hear,
35:55
Speaker 2: but good on him for having the strength to call
35:59
Speaker 2: out that fake sympathy because it must be so insulting
36:02
Speaker 2: to know that they are enabling people policies that make
36:05
Speaker 2: this possible, and then trying to get political points by
36:10
Speaker 2: apologising when they're on camera. Now, Stella, before you go,
36:14
Speaker 2: you were with the First Lady, Melania Trump, last week
36:17
Speaker 2: at the White House.
36:19
Speaker 1: Tell me what brought you together.
36:21
Speaker 2: I know you admire the work she's doing, helping young
36:24
Speaker 2: people who.
36:25
Speaker 1: Have aged out of foster care, because.
36:28
Speaker 2: Something we don't talk about often is when we've got
36:31
Speaker 2: people who have been in the foster care system and
36:34
Speaker 2: they turn 18, what happens to them?
36:38
Speaker 13: Yeah, oftentimes, you know, we don't think about that, right,
36:42
Speaker 13: as just normal people who have families because we have
36:45
Speaker 13: a support system. We have people who help us, you know,
36:50
Speaker 13: guide us in the right direction, what schools we're going to.
36:53
Speaker 13: You know, oftentimes these foster youth that age out, they
36:58
Speaker 13: kind of get left out. Like they get forgotten. I
37:02
Speaker 13: spoke to some foster youth who were there at the
37:05
Speaker 13: white house, at the Rose garden. They were so grateful
37:08
Speaker 13: for the fact that we have a first lady who
37:11
Speaker 13: cares about America's future. This is all part of her
37:14
Speaker 13: initiative called fostering the future. And what this specific initiative
37:19
Speaker 13: was about was to raise money, to make sure that
37:22
Speaker 13: when they do turn 18 and 19, They can go
37:25
Speaker 13: and get scholarships at these universities that directly is allocated
37:31
Speaker 13: for the foster youth. So now more than 20 universities
37:34
Speaker 13: are on board.
37:35
Speaker 1: And, you know, every state.
37:37
Speaker 13: Should actually care for our foster youth. Every single person
37:39
Speaker 13: that I talk to who's involved in the foster care system,
37:42
Speaker 13: they say it's really a mess. And we have a
37:44
Speaker 13: first lady who truly cares about the future of America.
37:49
Speaker 13: And this isn't political. You know, it's really funny to me, Rita,
37:54
Speaker 13: because if this was, let's say, you know, Michelle Obama,
37:56
Speaker 13: this would be on the headlines of every, you know,
38:00
Speaker 13: news outlet or the cover of every paper. They ignore
38:04
Speaker 13: it as if it's not happening. And again, it's not political.
38:07
Speaker 13: She really cares about America's future because one of these
38:10
Speaker 13: children could end up being the first lady or the
38:13
Speaker 13: president of the United States of America.
38:16
Speaker 2: No, she does some fantastic work and never gets any credit.
38:20
Speaker 1: If anything, she gets.
38:22
Speaker 2: All sorts of grief and smears and I know it's a–
38:30
Speaker 2: a point that really isn't critically important, but we've seen
38:33
Speaker 2: every single first lady in this generation from Hillary Clinton,
38:39
Speaker 2: Michelle Obama, Jill Biden, grace the cover of magazines like Vogue.
38:44
Speaker 1: But here you've got a former supermodel.
38:47
Speaker 2: Who won't even get a fashion cover, let alone any
38:50
Speaker 2: attention to the important work she's doing. Stella Escapito, thank
38:54
Speaker 2: you so much for your time tonight.
38:56
Speaker 4: Thank you.
38:57
Speaker 2: Coming up, why the Sussexes may find it difficult to
39:01
Speaker 2: find staff in the UK. Didi Dunleavy joins me next.
39:15
Speaker 2: Welcome back. Joining me now is veteran broadcaster and News24
39:19
Speaker 2: contributor Didi Dunleavy and Let's start with the Royals and
39:24
Speaker 2: sources have told Page Six that it could be difficult
39:27
Speaker 2: for the Sussexes to find household staff. due to Meghan
39:30
Speaker 2: Markle's strict interview rules. One source said when Meghan was
39:35
Speaker 2: previously living in the UK... The way she interviewed household
39:38
Speaker 2: staff was extremely rude. They would hand over their resume,
39:43
Speaker 2: then be told to stand off to the side of
39:45
Speaker 2: the room, not speak and not make eye contact while
39:49
Speaker 2: Megan sat there and reviewed it.
39:51
Speaker 1: Oh, dear me, did he?
39:52
Speaker 2: I wonder if we're going to see the confidential report
39:56
Speaker 2: into bullying allegations against Megan now that she's back living there.
40:01
Speaker 2: And I'm guessing a few people whose noses are out
40:04
Speaker 2: of joint are may be keen to speak up.
40:07
Speaker 16: Well, I think, first of all, she needs to go
40:09
Speaker 16: to the royal family and thank them very much for
40:11
Speaker 16: keeping that report quiet because it never did surface, did it?
40:15
Speaker 1: No.
40:16
Speaker 16: Look, if these allegations are true, it really exposes a
40:19
Speaker 16: massive difference between the public persona that she presents, that
40:23
Speaker 16: she's caring and she's a humanitarian, and this image that
40:26
Speaker 16: we're being shown there of her making somebody stand in
40:29
Speaker 16: the room and stay silent.
40:31
Speaker 8: While she gives them the up-down. It's so contradictory, isn't it?
40:35
Speaker 2: But she does have people announce her when she walks
40:38
Speaker 2: into a room, even if the room's empty.
40:40
Speaker 8: Yes, yes.
40:40
Speaker 1: This is not a normal person.
40:42
Speaker 8: The Duchess of Sussex, yes.
40:45
Speaker 2: Someone who abandoned royal duties and has absolute disdain for
40:50
Speaker 2: the institution and yet wants her titles that she's gained
40:54
Speaker 2: through marriage to be announced when she enters a room
40:57
Speaker 2: in America.
40:58
Speaker 16: But with this story surfacing, what Meghan is hearing very
41:02
Speaker 16: early into their time back in Britain is that they
41:04
Speaker 16: can relocate to that country again, they can put the
41:07
Speaker 16: children into school there, but they can't relocate their reputation.
41:10
Speaker 8: Their reputation has followed them like a bad smell.
41:13
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Now's up.
41:15
Speaker 2: They prepare for their children to attend school in the UK.
41:19
Speaker 2: Parents have been warned about new strict rules surrounding the
41:23
Speaker 2: young royals. Kinsey Schofield, friend of the program, told Page
41:27
Speaker 2: Six that residents in the Cotswolds were reminded not to
41:30
Speaker 2: photograph or film other children without permission. They were also
41:34
Speaker 2: told not to share photographs, information or details about pupils
41:38
Speaker 2: or their families on social media.
41:41
Speaker 1: Now, this seems like common sense.
41:43
Speaker 2: But we do live in the social media age where
41:46
Speaker 2: people are always taking photos out and about at school
41:49
Speaker 2: sporting events. So to place those restrictions on everybody else
41:54
Speaker 2: is going to be difficult.
41:55
Speaker 8: Yes.
41:56
Speaker 16: And bear in mind, this is a situation that Harry
41:59
Speaker 16: and Meghan created, because if like William and Kate, they
42:02
Speaker 16: had shared photographs on special occasions or whenever of their children,
42:06
Speaker 16: there wouldn't be this mystique. Instead, they've done all these
42:09
Speaker 16: Instagram posts and she wants everyone to look at her
42:11
Speaker 16: Instagram and There's the side of the child's head.
42:14
Speaker 8: Everyone's desperate to see the children's faces.
42:16
Speaker 16: There would have to be a bounty on those children's
42:19
Speaker 16: heads for a photograph of at least a million dollars.
42:22
Speaker 10: Really?
42:23
Speaker 8: Well, that's the figure I've heard.
42:24
Speaker 1: Wow, that shocks me. Seriously, I could not be less interested,
42:27
Speaker 1: but then I'm not one of those people.
42:29
Speaker 16: That photograph would go worldwide, a photograph of those children's faces,
42:32
Speaker 16: now that she has created that intrigue through her own Instagram.
42:36
Speaker 16: And now the other parents at the school, they would
42:38
Speaker 16: be feeling rightly concerned as to what sort of attention
42:41
Speaker 16: is that going to attract to their area. It's just
42:44
Speaker 16: a mess and they've only been there for days.
42:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would be sensible if you're going back to
42:50
Speaker 2: just release a nice family portrait like you said, like
42:53
Speaker 2: Kate and William do regularly. Yeah. Featuring the children, featuring
42:58
Speaker 2: the pets. have it all out there and I think
43:01
Speaker 2: then the mystique disappears very quickly. Now let's have a
43:05
Speaker 2: look at Naomi Osaka's entrance at the US Open. She's
43:10
Speaker 2: done this before but I've got to say this must
43:12
Speaker 2: be the wackiest one we've seen yet.
43:15
Speaker 1: Have a look.
43:32
Speaker 2: Didi, I've got to say, when I first saw this,
43:35
Speaker 2: I thought it was the WWE. Honestly, I did not
43:38
Speaker 2: realise she was a tennis player until I was, oh,
43:41
Speaker 2: it's Naomi. I don't know what she's trying to do exactly,
43:45
Speaker 2: but she needs people in her inner circle who occasionally
43:48
Speaker 2: say no to her.
43:49
Speaker 16: Well, and the tournament organisers as well. They're not going
43:52
Speaker 16: to because she's Naomi Osaka. And you know that outfit
43:55
Speaker 16: was covered in little newspaper articles about herself.
43:58
Speaker 8: Oh, of course.
43:59
Speaker 16: Yeah, but I think this is something we see with
44:01
Speaker 16: a lot of famous people is that they've reached the
44:03
Speaker 16: very pinnacle and she's, you know, the best in the business.
44:06
Speaker 8: She's won four Grand Slams.
44:07
Speaker 16: She doesn't need to draw attention to herself because all
44:10
Speaker 16: she needs to do is walk out.
44:11
Speaker 8: Pick up a racket, hit the ball, win the tournament.
44:14
Speaker 1: You know what?
44:15
Speaker 2: I actually like those theatrics because it is WWE and
44:21
Speaker 2: I love that entertainment value. But I just don't think
44:24
Speaker 2: she executes it well because that just looked like something
44:27
Speaker 2: a grade three kid put together. It doesn't actually, if
44:30
Speaker 2: she actually put together something that was spectacular or poignant
44:35
Speaker 2: or had some sort of a message that wasn't so self-obsessed,
44:38
Speaker 2: I think it would work well.
44:39
Speaker 16: But if she looked as though she were enjoying it
44:41
Speaker 16: but she doesn't look happy. And that's what makes me
44:44
Speaker 16: wonder what we hear with a lot of celebrities, they
44:47
Speaker 16: get to the very top of their craft, whatever it
44:49
Speaker 16: happens to be, And they realised, gosh, my life tomorrow
44:53
Speaker 16: is I'm going to go to bed the same way
44:54
Speaker 16: and I'm going to wake up the same way. So
44:56
Speaker 16: they look for that extra sugar hit and for her
44:58
Speaker 16: it's obviously through fashion. She's looking for something more, which
45:01
Speaker 16: I find a little bit sad that she feels she
45:03
Speaker 16: needs to do that. Just let your game do the talking.
45:06
Speaker 1: You're a tennis lover for those of us who are.
45:08
Speaker 8: I hate tennis.
45:09
Speaker 12: Oh.
45:09
Speaker 16: No, I can't stand it for that reason.
45:12
Speaker 2: Now, Kyle Sanderlands has been dragged into ARN's escalating legal
45:17
Speaker 2: war with his former radio partner, Jackie O.
45:19
Speaker 1: Henderson.
45:20
Speaker 2: After the media play-out served him with a subpoena live
45:24
Speaker 2: on air during his show this morning.
45:27
Speaker 11: I'm too mentally ill to be able to go on
45:31
Speaker 11: the stand.
45:32
Speaker 17: Oh, I want to be mentally ill as well then.
45:35
Speaker 17: I don't feel comfortable saying anything that may affect what
45:38
Speaker 17: she's got going on.
45:39
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just don't want to be involved with the
45:42
Speaker 4: whole thing either.
45:44
Speaker 17: I just started to feel good again.
45:45
Speaker 16: Yeah.
45:46
Speaker 17: I had a great weekend. Do what everyone does when
45:50
Speaker 17: they're having a bad week and, you know, their best
45:52
Speaker 17: friends * * * * them. You go up to
45:54
Speaker 17: your holiday house and you just spend all day, you know,
45:57
Speaker 17: frolicking around in the beach.
45:59
Speaker 1: He's always so relatable.
46:01
Speaker 2: I've got to say, the little clips of his program
46:03
Speaker 2: that I've seen are pretty interesting. Last week he was
46:07
Speaker 2: so raw, breaking down with Jackie's claims that he had
46:13
Speaker 2: bullied her and caused her to have PTSD.
46:15
Speaker 12: He.
46:17
Speaker 2: Rebuke that very strongly. What have you made of Kyle's
46:21
Speaker 2: work so far?
46:22
Speaker 16: Well, in that clip that we just watched, I think
46:25
Speaker 16: he looks uncustomarily stunned and lost for words, because I
46:30
Speaker 16: think they obviously had, well, they had their disagreement on air.
46:34
Speaker 8: They've gone their separate ways. And that's one thing.
46:36
Speaker 16: But this is ARN now wanting him to assist them
46:39
Speaker 16: with their case against her.
46:41
Speaker 8: So it's one thing for him and her to.
46:43
Speaker 16: Have a battle and we don't know where privately they've
46:46
Speaker 16: landed with that.
46:46
Speaker 2: But it's entirely predictable because her major grievance is they
46:51
Speaker 2: didn't protect her against his alleged bullying.
46:55
Speaker 8: No, but he doesn't want to battle her in court.
46:57
Speaker 8: He doesn't want to be used as the battering ram.
46:59
Speaker 1: He's going to.
46:59
Speaker 2: Have to be because ARN are going to say, well,
47:03
Speaker 2: these are the accusations, you're at the centre of them.
47:06
Speaker 2: So at the very least, we need your side of
47:08
Speaker 2: things to give the court some perspective, I would imagine.
47:12
Speaker 16: But he did go on to say that, well, Bruno Boucher,
47:14
Speaker 16: his producer, did say that, you know, they want all
47:17
Speaker 16: your documents.
47:17
Speaker 8: That will include text messages and stuff.
47:19
Speaker 16: And Kyle's initial reaction, he looked absolutely unfazed by that.
47:23
Speaker 8: He's like, yep, they can have it all.
47:25
Speaker 16: So, you know, as my late father would say, just
47:27
Speaker 16: tell the truth. And it appears to me that Kyle
47:30
Speaker 16: is being very honest about his dealings. He didn't look
47:33
Speaker 16: scared that he wanted to hide something. So I feel
47:38
Speaker 16: bad for him, actually, the position that.
47:39
Speaker 8: He's in now.
47:40
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, it would be.
47:41
Speaker 2: And I think I believe entirely that he is very
47:45
Speaker 2: hurt by what has been said because, as he said,
47:49
Speaker 2: he saw Jackie as, his closest confidant, and would have
47:53
Speaker 2: taken a bullet for her. So to hear these allegations
47:57
Speaker 2: would be very hurtful, but we'll see what the outcome is. Now,
48:01
Speaker 2: before you go, I know you were keen for me
48:03
Speaker 2: to play this clip. It is hilarious, all about Collingwood,
48:07
Speaker 2: Scott Pendlebury. Well, he's not Collingwood's anymore. He's joining the
48:10
Speaker 2: Gold Coast. And a lot of people have negative things
48:13
Speaker 2: to say about AI and how it's going to change
48:16
Speaker 2: life as we know it for the worst. Well, Here
48:18
Speaker 2: is AI that is rather brilliant, all about Pendles moving
48:22
Speaker 2: to the Goldie.
48:24
Speaker 14: Grave concerns are growing for AFL legend Scott Pendlebury, who
48:28
Speaker 14: appears to have undergone a rapid and irreversible gold coastification
48:32
Speaker 14: within hours of relocating north.
48:34
Speaker 15: A lot of yous have been asking how I've levelled
48:38
Speaker 15: up so quickly.
48:40
Speaker 14: SP10 has since completely overhauled his Instagram page, rebranding himself
48:45
Speaker 14: as a life coach and offering unsolicited advice on fitness
48:50
Speaker 14: and cryptocurrency. I believe Confucius said, man without crypto has
48:54
Speaker 14: no currency.
48:55
Speaker 9: Let me explain the second sunrise theory.
48:57
Speaker 14: Pendlebury was intercepted outside the Burley Pav this afternoon by
49:01
Speaker 14: concerned coach Damien Hardwick. A search of the vehicle allegedly
49:06
Speaker 14: uncovered a three-park superpass, a podcast microphone, 12 loose veneers,
49:13
Speaker 14: a flexible one-way ticket to Dubai, designs for a full sleeve,
49:18
Speaker 14: a provisional jet ski... licence and a signed contract to
49:22
Speaker 14: reopen Sizzler.
49:24
Speaker 8: There's levels to this.
49:25
Speaker 9: We're locking in.
49:26
Speaker 1: Dee Dee, not much we can say about that other
49:28
Speaker 1: than it's brilliant.
49:30
Speaker 8: I love it. Absolutely love it.
49:32
Speaker 1: Dee Dee Dunleavy, thank you so much for your time.
49:34
Speaker 1: And that's all the time we have. Don't go anywhere.
49:37
Speaker 1: Late Edition is coming up next.
49:40
Speaker 4: Thank you.
