  Speaker 2: to the Rita Paney Show. Coming up tonight. The ALP
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: National Conference is underway in Adelaide and the focus is
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: firmly on how to defeat one nation. The panel will
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: be here shortly to cover the day's top headlines. Victorian
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Labor MP's plotting another leadership challenge against Jacinta alan Clista
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Clements will join me to discuss that. Stell Escabito will
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: have the latest from the US, including more evidence of
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: voter fraud, this time in New Jersey, and the surprise
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: cover girl of the latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition is announced.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Kinsey Schofield will have the details and left He's losing
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: it Seize the return of Greta Thunberg. Was forgotten all
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: about the so called climate crisis. She's all about Palestine
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: and Lebanon.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Now, which will produce a comunition which can be sent
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: to Israel, arming them in occupation, apartheid and genocide in
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Palestine and Lebanon.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: First, the fiftieth ALP National Conference is underway and Adelaide.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Outgoing ALP President Wayne Swann will use his conference speech
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: tomorrow and I to declare One Nation has usurped the
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: coalition as a Labour's biggest electoral threat. According to extracts
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: of his speech, the former Treasurer will liken Pauline Hansen
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: to Joviiokley Peterson. He will also say we fought Howard,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: we fought Abbott, and now we watch the Conservative mantle
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: past to One Nation and a new battle awaits us.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: And the Prime Minister delivered his key address today where
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: he took a swipe at the so called One Nation
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Liberal party coalition.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: Beyond One Nation's personality clashes, policy confusion, conspiracy theories and
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: candidate chaos and regardless of who loads the Liberals to
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: the next selection, in every way that matters, the Liberals,
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: Nationals and One Nation are already a coalition. It's not
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: just that they need each other to form government. They
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: agree with each other about what they want to do
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: in government.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: And in a sign of what's to come, the PM
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: indicated who would again run a medi scare campaign, claiming
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: that Conservatives want to cut Medicare.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: And they all want to slash the jobs and industries
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: powered by renewables and spend billions on nuclear reactors instead,
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: and they all want to cut medicare and everything else.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: All those attentions wars imported from overseas.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Joining me now is IPA chief economist Adam Crichton and
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: former Liberal MP Nicole Flint. Adam the PM said Conservatives
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: have nothing positive to offer the nation during that speech.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: How do you see it? It's a bit rich of
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: him to talk about this coalition that exists between one
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Nation and the Liberals, when without the Greens, Labor would
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: have zero hope of being elected.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, certainly that is true. Look, there are coalitions on
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: both sides of the political spectrum.
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I think in many ways we're going back to the
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: politics of the twenties, thirties and forties when there were
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: a lot more political parties in Australia. So historically this
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: is not so unusual. But I mean, as for you know,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the context of his speaks, the contents of his speech. Rather,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: it's just more of the same. It's not working. You've
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: still got one nation on about thirty percent primary, which
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: is extraordinary. Yeah, and the coalition, even when it's on
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: twenty that's fifty percent primary vote is going to the right.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: That spells disaster. To me for the Labor Party, so
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: they have to change something and you know, just kind
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: of droning on about renewables. I don't think that's going
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: to work.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: No, Nicole PM spoke there about the culture Wars as well,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: but the Labor conference shows how obsessed Labor are with
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: the culture wars, how far left they have veered. They're
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: debating things like removing the union jack and colonial statues
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: from around the country.
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: Indeed, Rata just more of the same.
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: And no wonder one Nation are doing so well in
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: the polls because they're actually talking to the Australian people
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: about the issues that they care about. I mean, we
• 4:16
  Speaker 7: certainly won't be hearing about labor cutting migration, which is
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: one of the key issues for so many Australians at
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: the moment, whether it's the huge influx one point five
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: million extra people into Australia under Labor, whether it's the
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: threat to our values, you certainly won't hear about any
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: of those things from Labor. And I just find it
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: fascinating this obsession with the Prime Minister and also Wayne Swan,
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: the upgoing president, with attacking one nation, attacking the Liberal Party,
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: rather than setting out a policy platform for the Australian
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: people that will address the very serious problems that they're
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: all facing, not least of all rising interest rates, record
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: grocery prices, record.
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: Power prime as you know, you name it.
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: People are under economic pressure and if we see one
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: nation and the Coalition sticking to those issues, they will
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: defeat Labor no Worri's next election.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Well, we only saw earlier this week, Adam more data
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: showing the standard of living in this country is going backwards.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: We are having real wages declining and people are hurting
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: and that pain is reflected in the stats. It's undeniable
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: that per capita data shows we're in a fair bit
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: of trouble.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: No, that is true.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: The real wages are down in this country over the
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: last five years by more than any other country in
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the OECD. And of course those inflation stats they exclude
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: taxes which are going up at a rapid rate. And
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: just briefly on Wayne Spon's Wayne Swan's speech, I have
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: to say it's quite funny drawing the analogy with Serjobia
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: copedis and won more elections than any other political history.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: So you know, so maybe that's what's going to happen.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: With one.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Won't mind that one. Yes, you know, you're quite right.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: The economic statistics are very bad, and the worst one
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: of all is core inflation. It's almost four percent, which
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: is the highest in the whole Western world. Very embarrassing.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Of course, Wayne Swan the world's greatest treasurer who announced
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: at four surpluses but actually didn't deliver a single one.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Remember the four consecutive surpluses that he was promising us. Now,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: thousands of teachers and education support staff have taken to
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: the streets of Melbourne in their second major strike action
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: of the year. About sixteen hundred public schools did not
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: hold classes today, with parents urged to keep their children home. Nicole,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: the Australian Education Union in Victoria, has rejected the government's
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: most recent payoffer of a twenty eight point three percent
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: raise over four years. They say it's not enough to
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: keep up with inflation.
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: Well, I bet every single parent who's had to keep
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: their kids home today would be appalled with this rata.
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: Most ordinary Australians, normal Australians, hard working Australians, are not
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: getting a twenty eight percent pay rise over the next
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: four years.
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: So that's about seven percent a year.
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: And as Adams just pointed out, seven percent a year
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: pay rise is almost double what inflation is and the
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: core underlying inflation is about three point six percent.
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: I believe, So this is just outrageous.
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: It is out of step with what normal hard working
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: Australians are getting into their pay packet. And once again
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: all this will do is blow labor budgets further out
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: of the water.
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: They're so far in the red. This is just going
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: to make it.
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: Worse at a time when people are struggling.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Well, this state in particular can't afford any more. Lard Jess.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: The teachers units would argue, well, we haven't had the
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: sort of increases in recent years that we should have
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: had to keep up with inflation, so we need to
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: make up for that. But they almost exists in a
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: fantasy world because the private sector hasn't had those increases
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: at all.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that's not true. I'm sure their wages have
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: actually kept pace. I mean most of them are on
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: six figures I believe, which is certainly a lot more
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: than the media and full time income in Australia. But
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: even the fact that twenty eight percent was the offer
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: over four years is extraordinary, and of course it was rejected,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: although in defense of some teachers, forty nine percent of
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: teachers actually voted to accept the offer, fifty one voted
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: against it, so there are some sensible teachers out there still,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: which is good to know. But this state has two
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty nine billion dollars of debt and it's
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: rising to two hundred and eighty eight billion in four years,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: so I mean, this is just reckless. But sadly, as
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the election gets closer, the unions realize they can blackmail
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the incumbent labor government. So you're going to see more
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: of this from the other unions as they try to
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: squeeze a bit of money out and the government gets
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: worried about votes, so it tends to cave in.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: And it doesn't stop with teachers. Obviously, you've got all
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: the other public sector workers who are going to the
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: follow and they're going to see what they achieve, and
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: they're going to want to get as much Hearthborn pediatrician
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Tari calm Lair had been widely presumed to have been
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: killed in Syria a decade ago after walking out on
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: his job at Australian hospital to join Islamic State, but
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: The Australian newspaper revealed on Tuesday that he was very
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: much alive and in an Iraqi jail. He's one of
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: thirteen Australian men linked to Islamic State who are hoping
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: to be released and to return back to Australia. Terik's father,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Imad Kamlah, told The Australian that he had only learned
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: that his son was alive several weeks ago. He said
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: he will respect any decision the government makes about his
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: son's future Nicole. It's also been revealed that Labor knew
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: about this terrorist survival for years, but they kept that
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: information secret.
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: And we are not surprised, are we, Rita.
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: This smacks of precisely what's just happened with the ISIS
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: brides coming back to Australia. So apparently Senator Penny Wong,
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: the Foreign Affairs Minister, has known that this doctor has
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: been alive since twenty twenty two and has been briefed
• 10:03
  Speaker 7: several times on it. My question is precisely the same
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: with the ISIS bride situation. They knew that it was
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: a threat that they would try to come back to Australia.
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: They knew obviously that this gentleman was going to try
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: to come back as well, so why haven't they changed
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: the law. The majority of Australians will be delighted to
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: see these people locked out of our country forever. And
• 10:26
  Speaker 7: this is the beauty of being in government. You can
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: actually do whatever you like. Yes, of course the human
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: rights bleeding hearts would drag legislative change through the High Court,
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: no doubt, but at least you'd be signifying to the
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: Australian people that we won't tolerate this terrorist linked behavior,
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: because that's what isis is a terrorist organization.
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: And if your passport's expired, why is it being renewed?
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Adam anyone who left this country to go join Islamic
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: State knowing full well the brutal, sadistic manner in which
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: they slaughtered just thousands of people non believers the Yazid.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: The human right abuses under Islamic State, under their caliphate
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: are just astonishing and frankly disturbing. I remember writing about
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: it at the time, and to think that someone educated,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: working as a doctor in this country saw that and
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: said I want to be a part of that. I'm
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: going to travel to Syria to join the Caliphate. I mean,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: how can they ever be allowed to return to Australia.
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: No.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Look, it certainly is shocking, and the man's parents told
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: The Australian that they're extremely disappointed in They're un too
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: for all those reasons that you just said. They're shocked
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: at the choices he made. Look, it's probably unlikely that
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: he's going to get back if he's already in prison.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: But if he does get back, I believe he's broken
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the law here too, so I think he'll end up
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: in a prison here as well. But you know, I'd
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: rather their taxpayers pay for it, not our taxpayers.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: One little thing.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I'm amazed that this wasn't leaked for years and years,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: just to reminder to the top of the public servicing
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: camera is so pro labor, Otherwise this would have been left.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: But it absolutely would have been leaked. Now before you
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: two go. The Department of Climate Change and Energy has
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: admitted that Chris Bowen's eight point five billion dollar home
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: battery subsidy scheme is supporting units about twice the cost
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: of what was originally conceived. The program originally had a
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: budget of just two point three billion, I say just
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: two point three billion over four years, but now it's
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: expected to cost eight point five billion dollars over the
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: life of the program. Adam. It's also been revealed only
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: three of the schemes one hundred and thirty six approved
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: manufacturers are Australian. Only three from one hundred and thirty six.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: It's hard to know were to start here. I mean,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: if forecasts like that were made in the private sector,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: everyone would have been sacked. But sadly that's not the case.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, just as like you said, two point three
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: billion to eight point five billion, that is a massive error.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, the government's already spending twelve billion dollars a
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: year on climate change, on zero stuff, so here's even more.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: And yes, quite often these programs are just a subsidy
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: of foreign manufacturers, whether it's electric cars, whether it's batteries.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: You know, we like to subsidize Chinese manufacturing, but not
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Australian manufacturing.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: So look, and we spent this taxpayer money, and then
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Nicole pretend that this is market driven, that the market
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: wants batteries, that this is all commercial imperative, when there
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: is so much manipulation in the market.
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: Of course, Breta and look doesn't this just remind us
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: of those other Great Labor Party failures when in government
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: cash for clunkers and the pink bats that tragically ended
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: up costing people their lives.
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: Look, the government should not be interfering.
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: And also I'm pretty sure it's mainly wealthier Australians who
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: have been able to afford to do this, rather than
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: Australians who are struggling to make ends meet because they're
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: putting every cent into their groceries and their power bill.
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: And their fuel.
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: So it's helping people who I'm guessing don't actually need help,
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: and certainly not helping Australian manufacturers, with only three out
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: of one hundred and thirty six of these solar of
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: these batteries actually manufactured here. So this is going to
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: go down in history as another great labor disaster.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Just imagine how much wealth will we generate if we
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: put some of this tax payer money into developing our
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: own resources and acknowledge the fact that we are so
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: blessed to be sitting on all this gas, all this coal,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: all this uranium, and we put that money, we would
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: create so many high paying jobs, you would have extraordinary exports,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: and we would provide our citizens with cheap, reliable energy
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: and also our manufacturing sector. They're going to look back
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: in fifty hundred years time at this period and wonder
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: how we could have been this catastrophically stupid.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Well, look, I couldn't agree more. You do have to
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: laugh about the future Made in Australia program.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Oh yea.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: It always puts up in a it's the future made
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: in China program. As you say, nothing can afford to
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: be manufactured here.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Adam krist and Nicole Fleen, thank you so much for
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: your time tonight. Now, Prime minist Anthony Alberizi has unveiled
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: his plan to fight back against One Nation in a
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: bid to win over young voters. Anthony Alberzeer has announced
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: that Labor will expand its paid prac placement to cover
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Australian studying degrees like clinical psychology, physiotherapy, paramedicine and pharmacy
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: from July one next year. Joining me now is Sky
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: News contributor Clist Clemens Clista is the PM on the
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: right track here is appealing to young voters. The answer
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: to his one nation.
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: Problem, that's a question is is he ever on the
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: right track? I think in these moments of desperation. I
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: think that is what stands out the absolute most. These
• 15:52
  Speaker 8: opportunities over the last for almost two terms of his
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: of his government being in power, he's had opportunities twofold
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: to make a difference, to appease voters, to make valuable
• 16:04
  Speaker 8: contributions to this country. And it seems that he's only
• 16:07
  Speaker 8: ever willing to do something productive when it's in response
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: to this rise of one nation. So yet another example
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: of just.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: A vote grab. It is it did try to cut
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: student debt to get the votes of young people. But
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: you could argue that it is working because young Australians
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: do typically lean left compared to the rest of the electorate.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: I would look possibly so. But I think with this budget.
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: That has just come out recently that had such an
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: uproar with the young people in Australia, I think people's
• 16:43
  Speaker 8: eyes are open, and I think the government have really
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: shown their true colors that they're kind of crawling themselves
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: out of a hole with this. So it'll be interesting
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: to see which way it goes. But it's a matter
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: of our people's eyes open enough, young people's eyes, and
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: I think, yeah, possibly.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Well that's going to be interesting to see, because yeah,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: the budget, the whole cell for the budget was this
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: is for young Australians, this is to give them the
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: opportunity to get into the housing market, and really it's
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: probably doing the opposite. And as for rents, you're going
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: to see rent skyrocket under these conditions. So it will
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: be interesting to see if the young Australians blame labor
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: for that or whether they keep voting in the same
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: patterns that they have in recent years. Now let's talk
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: about Victoria. The Australian reports that the labor MPs in
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: this state are plotting again. They are thinking about a
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: leadership challenge against premierges Into Alan. More labor MPs from
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Allan's own socialist left faction are reportedly on board with
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: a change in leadership, and there is growing talk of
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: a cross factional delegation going to her to convince her
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: to stand down, or for Deputy Premier Ben Carroll to
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: our challenge her. Callista. I can't see Ben Carroll challenging
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: her because he came out about a month ago and
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: made the most ridiculous speech about why he wouldn't challenge
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: and it would just look like a clown if he did. Now,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: but Labor and Peace can read opinion polls and they
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: would know she is the most unpopular political leader in
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: the country. Yeah, I think it's a little too late.
• 18:16
  Speaker 8: It makes me cringe, especially when I think about that
• 18:19
  Speaker 8: moment where the journals made Ben Carroll turn around to
• 18:23
  Speaker 8: Justin to Ala and just In to Alan and had
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: that eye contact to promise that he wouldn't challenge the leadership.
• 18:28
  Speaker 8: That it's now they're laughing stock. And look, this should
• 18:33
  Speaker 8: have happened months ago, but we're months out from election.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: What is it end of July?
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: Now come November. I'd be very surprised if they did
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: change leadership. I don't think it would do Ben Carroll
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: any favors. And yeah, if you had half a clue
• 18:49
  Speaker 8: on how to read a number, you see the polling
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: for Justinto Allen is absolutely plummeting.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: And yeah they're scared. Rightfully, so they're scared. But I
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: think if they can save a few seats, if they
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: can scrape in and you can always trust a Viclibs
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: to screw up, at some point we might see a
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: leadership change, even at this late stage. But you're right,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: after that performance from Ben Carroll when he talked about
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: he's so proud to tell his daughters that he works
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: for just into Alan like he could not possibly challenge.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Now she would have to step down. And I don't
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: know if they're going to get her over the line there,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: but they're great talk that she's going to lose her
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: own seats, so perhaps she can avoid the embarrassment of that.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: And what do they say, I'm going to spend more
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: time with the family. That's always a good reason to
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: step down from politics. Now, before you go, the Albanezi
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: government is paying part of the wages of more than
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: two thousand journalists across one hundred and eighty four private
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: news rooms. Now, this is an underreported story if you
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: ask me. Under Labour's Journalism Assistance Fund, launched in November,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: publishers receive around forty thousand dollars for each full time
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: equivalent journalist over three years, paid as a wage subsidy,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: and the made for beneficiaries you might be shocked to
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: know are Nine Entertainment. They get more than sixteen million
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: in taxpayer funds. Seven is getting over eleven million, Australian
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Community Media over six million, and the Star News Group
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: almost six million. Five point eighty six million there and
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: if you've seen their output recently, you know just how
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: far left many of those publications veer on a daily basis.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: And it doesn't stop their smaller left activist sites are
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: also receiving your tax paid dollars. Publications like krii Key,
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: The Conversation, a Daily Oz and Mama Mia all collecting
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: hundreds of thousands of dollars each callis staff does this
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: pass the pup test? I mean, really, nine Entertainment getting
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: sixteen point one million dollars of taxpayer funds.
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: It's absolutely more than something like half of the funding
• 21:03
  Speaker 8: is going to the big corporations. It's insane. Anaka Well's
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: communications minister, she's got a lot to answer for here
• 21:10
  Speaker 8: and out of very very poorly responded by her when
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: she came out and said, oh it's coming from a
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: one nation news outlet, this is where they're pulling these figures,
• 21:20
  Speaker 8: and do say that, and it doesn't matter where it's
• 21:24
  Speaker 8: coming from, Anachar, It doesn't matter where it's coming from
• 21:27
  Speaker 8: at all.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: There's a lot to answer to.
• 21:28
  Speaker 8: And when Australians are in a trust crisis where we're
• 21:32
  Speaker 8: being completely misled, we're being completely blindsided just recently with
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: Albow with his one eighty and the budget and CGT
• 21:40
  Speaker 8: changes as an example, why should Australians have to trust
• 21:44
  Speaker 8: our government and the decisions that they're making. So it
• 21:47
  Speaker 8: absolutely is waving the red flag when there's funding going
• 21:52
  Speaker 8: to these big corporations, for sure.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: And we're talking about nine we're talking If you've seen
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: nine years in Melbourne, you will see how left it is.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: It's almost indistinguishable from ABC. And then you've got publications
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: like the Sydney Morning Herald and the Age sixteen point
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: one million. I don't care if it's one point six million.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: It's one point six million too much that these are
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: private enterprises. We already paid for ABC and the.
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: SBS, the ABC which is what over a billion dollars.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, this is small fry compared to that.
• 22:24
  Speaker 8: It's exactly right, which is just a renowned echo chamber
• 22:28
  Speaker 8: for the left. So yeah, it's absolutely concerning and taxpayers
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: have every right.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: To be concerned. Calistic clements always a pleasure. Thank you,
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Thank you for having me on. Still to come, Lefties
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: losing and pass all the latest from the US, including
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: more evidence of voter fraud this time in New Jersey.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Stella Escabedo is next welcome back. It's time for lefties
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: losing it. And it's been some weeks since we heard
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: from screechy Swedish doom goblin Greta Thunberg. She's lost all
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: interests in the climate cold these days, she's all about
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Palestine and Lebanon, which will produce.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: An nisson which will be sent to Israel, arming them
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: in occupation, apartheid and genocide in Palestine and Lebanon.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: And of course she's still wasting police time getting herself
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: arrested time and time again. Now to the backlash against
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: WNBA star Sophie Cunningham, who had the courage to state
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: the following, I want to protect young girls in a
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: locker room, or young girls in sports, who shouldn't have
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: to go against biological men. How dare she? Among the
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: outrage is ROBERTA. Rodriguez, a writer for Forbes covering women's basketball,
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: who wrote, Sophie Cunningham is unafraid, unafraid to be blatantly transphobic,
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: and she followed it up with this. Transphobia includes invalidating
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: a trans person's identity. Additionally, female assigned at birth, people
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: who identify as non binary and don't transition are also trans? Okay, whatever,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: But Sophie Cunningham is not giving into the intimidation. The
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: girl has a backbone. She said what she said. I mean,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: I think I said what I said.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: I think it's kind of common sense, and I think
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: I'll always believe in that. I think it's really important
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: to protect children, and that's little girls who are also
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: involved in that category. And so I stand on what
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: I said and I always believe.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: That, and it's hardly controversial. It's what every athlete would
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: say if they were being honest. But then you have
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Megan Rapperano, who would have no sporting glory, no fame,
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: no fortune if men were allowed to compete against her.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: And yet she went on the view and claimed that
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: wanting to protect women's sport is actually anti women, and
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: then she seemed to suggest that black women look suspiciously
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: like men.
• 25:06
  Speaker 9: Yes, they're going after trans people in sports, and they're
• 25:09
  Speaker 9: using this as a wedg issue because we love sports
• 25:11
  Speaker 9: and you know, we don't want our little girls to
• 25:14
  Speaker 9: be unsafe in sports, and it's like unsafe from who.
• 25:16
  Speaker 9: But okay, but now we're using this as like an
• 25:21
  Speaker 9: overarching thing when really what we're attacking women. We're saying,
• 25:24
  Speaker 9: if you look like this as a woman, you can play.
• 25:27
  Speaker 9: We know what that means. Black girls are going to
• 25:29
  Speaker 9: get questioned more, and they're going to get questioned.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: First, let's stick with the view and Sunny Holston never
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: misses a chance to play the race card, and she
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: has a brilliant news theory. She thinks the Trump administration
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: is trying to bury America's dark past so they don't
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: have to pay reparations.
• 25:47
  Speaker 10: I think the reason, the real reason behind this is
• 25:50
  Speaker 10: about financial repair to the descendants of the enslaved Africans.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: So say what you mean so you can people preparations.
• 25:59
  Speaker 10: I think this reflects a really broad effort by the
• 26:03
  Speaker 10: Trump administration to reshape the way the nation's history is
• 26:07
  Speaker 10: told so that this country does not have to pay
• 26:10
  Speaker 10: black people for the forced labor and the unpaid labor
• 26:14
  Speaker 10: that built this country. I really think that's what this
• 26:16
  Speaker 10: is about. They're trying to bury the truth part you
• 26:19
  Speaker 10: cannot have true reconciliation and then you cannot have true
• 26:23
  Speaker 10: financial repair.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: They're trying to bury the truth. Some really firstly, slaves
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: did not build America, and do you really think America's
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: on mass will ever support the concept of reparations, the
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: lunacy of people who never own slaves paying reparations to
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: people who were never slaves. And if you want to
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: talk about those who have benefited from slavery, then look
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: in the mirror, love, because it was your family who
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: were slave owners. I didn't think I was.
• 26:55
  Speaker 10: My family was originally from Spain and slaveholders.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: Indeed, pay up. Sonny joining me now is Emmy award
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: winning journalists and host of Stella News Stella Escabado Stella.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: What do you think of Sonny's theory that the Trump
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: administration is trying to rewrite history to avoid paying reparations.
• 27:20
  Speaker 11: You know, she is such a clown show altogether. I mean,
• 27:25
  Speaker 11: first of all, she talks constantly about reparations and DEI.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: This is a woman who makes millions.
• 27:31
  Speaker 11: Let me remind people she makes millions on the view
• 27:34
  Speaker 11: to consistently try to be a victim. You saw recently
• 27:37
  Speaker 11: right that her son was arrested and then she pulled
• 27:40
  Speaker 11: the you know who I am card and then went
• 27:43
  Speaker 11: on the view to say, well, you know, I was
• 27:45
  Speaker 11: really afraid that he would be shot because he's a
• 27:47
  Speaker 11: black man and then you know, bodycam video showed that
• 27:50
  Speaker 11: he was treated so nice. But read it back to
• 27:53
  Speaker 11: your point. There are no slaves in America.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, there are no slaves.
• 27:58
  Speaker 11: Nobody owns any slaves now in the United States of America.
• 28:01
  Speaker 11: We can move on from this conversation and I'll tell
• 28:04
  Speaker 11: you the only places where there are slaves are in
• 28:06
  Speaker 11: certain countries in the Middle East. It's not Israel, and
• 28:09
  Speaker 11: it's not Africa.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: So yeah, well, yep, well there are parts of North
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Africa where the slave trader is still running strong. And
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: yet we never hear the social justice activists talking about that.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Do that They never actually talk about the slavery that's
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: happening now. They don't talk about the Wiga slave camps.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: They don't care about that stuff. All they care about
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: is what happened hundreds of years ago and how they
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: can use it to divide Americans today. Now, Sella, one
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: of the WNBA's most popular players, has caused quite a
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: stir because she stood up for women's rights, she stood
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: up for biological reality. Sophie Cunningham has bravely spoken the truth.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: She said, I think that I'm here to extend love,
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: but I also think that with love is truth, being honest.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: I want to protect young girls in a locker room
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: or young girls in sport who shouldn't have to go
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: against biological men. She's caughed terrible backlash for that from
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: the usual suspects. But she's not backing down, is she? Solah?
• 29:16
  Speaker 11: No, And you know what, kudos to her rita.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: She talks.
• 29:19
  Speaker 11: You know, it's so silly that she even has to
• 29:22
  Speaker 11: go on national news and say, look, it's not political,
• 29:27
  Speaker 11: it's just my morals.
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah you think you know?
• 29:30
  Speaker 11: So she said the quiet part out loud, that we
• 29:33
  Speaker 11: need to stop erasing women, and if it makes some
• 29:37
  Speaker 11: people uncomfortable, so be it. I have two little girls
• 29:40
  Speaker 11: who play sports, who play soccer. They're young, and I
• 29:45
  Speaker 11: see how much hard work they put into their sport
• 29:48
  Speaker 11: and only to have a boy or a man they're
• 29:51
  Speaker 11: biologically bill different to come in and just play better
• 29:54
  Speaker 11: and take your spot. Look, if you want to play
• 29:56
  Speaker 11: in a transleague, go ahead, but not in girls' sports.
• 29:59
  Speaker 11: Don't try to erase women and girls.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Well, it is just such a cynical argument that's being
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: put forward that these trans people are being banned from sport. No,
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: they're being banned from competing in a category they should
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: not be in. They can still compete in the men's
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: category or whatever biological reality exists for them. But you
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: can't deny biological reality. And the truth is men are stronger,
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: they're faster, and they can't have women competing with them.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: And we had here you said, your girls play soccer,
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: our national soccer team, the Matildas, who are brilliant on
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: the world stage. They played under fifteen side from Newcastle,
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: just a town in New South Wales. They were beaten
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: at seven nil. I mean, that just shows you the
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: difference in ability. And there's plenty of athletes who admit
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: to that, amongst them Serena Williams. Williams, a bunch of
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: tennis players have spoken out, but there's still in the minority,
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: aren't they. Why are the athletes so scared to come
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: forward and say this isn't okay, we can't have men
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: in our competitions because it would pretty much end women's sport.
• 31:14
  Speaker 11: Well, so, you know, I've heard a lot of girls
• 31:16
  Speaker 11: who play let's say collegiate sports, right, and then they
• 31:19
  Speaker 11: have to actually share locker rooms with boys, and they
• 31:25
  Speaker 11: you know, have to even roommate with these people on campus,
• 31:29
  Speaker 11: and they say the biggest fear is, look at our universities.
• 31:33
  Speaker 11: They're so woke, right, so they fear the backlash. And
• 31:37
  Speaker 11: at a young age, you and I, you know, we
• 31:40
  Speaker 11: can speak up, we can stand up for ourselves. But
• 31:43
  Speaker 11: these you know, at the end of the day, they're
• 31:44
  Speaker 11: young children and they are afraid. But I will say, Rita,
• 31:48
  Speaker 11: it is becoming more okay and mainstream to say this
• 31:53
  Speaker 11: is not okay.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, and Riley Gains I think deserves a lot of
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: credit because she was of those college athletes who took
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: a stand when a man was obviously a man was
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: competing with her, and they changed the rules there finally. Now,
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: last night we brought you the admission from New York
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Socialists mes or on ma'm danni that despite all the
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: political posturing, he is powerless to do anything about Israeli
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: Prime Minister Benjamin netanya who coming to New York. The
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: ICC arrest warrant means nothing. Stella, tell me how that
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: news has been received by ma'm danny's socialist supporters, who
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: had some fantasy of Netanyaho being led away in handcuffs.
• 32:40
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean he loves it. First of all, he
• 32:42
  Speaker 11: loves it. He knew that, you know, this is something
• 32:45
  Speaker 11: that he can't.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Go through with.
• 32:47
  Speaker 11: Okay, legally, this is something he can't go through with.
• 32:49
  Speaker 11: But he panned it to his audience, the Democrat Socialist
• 32:52
  Speaker 11: of America, who loved that idea, because you know what, Rita,
• 32:55
  Speaker 11: that's all they run on. They run on Palestine on
• 32:58
  Speaker 11: a daily beat. They hold what like eighty something events
• 33:03
  Speaker 11: in New York City a month like. They are very,
• 33:05
  Speaker 11: very organized. So the strategy is go out there, villify Israel,
• 33:10
  Speaker 11: get them rawed up. And that's exactly what he did,
• 33:12
  Speaker 11: even though he knows he can't do it. It's a fantasy.
• 33:15
  Speaker 11: It's just like what you said. But it's interesting because
• 33:17
  Speaker 11: he doesn't talk about any other political leader, only the
• 33:20
  Speaker 11: leader of a Jewish nation that he continues to villify.
• 33:23
  Speaker 11: He doesn't talk about Islamic regime. You know, we saw
• 33:27
  Speaker 11: the massacre there. He doesn't talk about DRC, which is
• 33:31
  Speaker 11: right next to I don't know Uganda, where he's from,
• 33:34
  Speaker 11: where they've seen hundreds of thousands of people die from
• 33:37
  Speaker 11: famine and.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: War over the years. It's only Israel.
• 33:41
  Speaker 11: And it's BB and it's this fantasy, and I can't
• 33:43
  Speaker 11: believe years later, we're still talking about this non existent
• 33:47
  Speaker 11: genocide that never happened in Israel. When you in Gaza,
• 33:51
  Speaker 11: where you could just go online and look at the
• 33:53
  Speaker 11: videos from Gaza Wood and Pollywood of them eating their
• 33:56
  Speaker 11: natilla and partying it up, it's a narrative that's been sold.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: Now. New York Post is reporting that more than six
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: thousand non citizens registered to vote in New Jersey. Apparently
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: that all happened innocently due to a software error, that
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: is the official explanation. This follows President Trump's address to
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: the nation last week, where he spoke about around two
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand non citizens being registered to vote
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: in states like California, New Jersey, Devada, Pennsylvania. How is
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: the Democrat mayor in New Jersey, Mikey Sheryl, handling this
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: election integrity issue. Did she at least admit that that
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: could do better? I did see that she was blaming
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump for undermining democracy. She seems to be not
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: accepting any responsibility whatsoever. No, not at all.
• 34:54
  Speaker 11: She went on a round and it was only sixty
• 34:56
  Speaker 11: five hundred. It's it, it's only a little from it's
• 35:00
  Speaker 11: only a little plagiarism, not a big deal. But it's
• 35:05
  Speaker 11: not a conspiracy if there are facts you know now
• 35:09
  Speaker 11: coming out.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: And you know what's interesting.
• 35:10
  Speaker 11: When President Donald Trump spoke to the nation last week,
• 35:14
  Speaker 11: I don't know if you guys heard this, but many
• 35:16
  Speaker 11: mainstream media outlets did not take his speech live. They
• 35:21
  Speaker 11: basically they ran their nightly news right before that set
• 35:24
  Speaker 11: it up as Donald Trump is gonna, you know, talk
• 35:27
  Speaker 11: to the nation about his conspiracies.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: They set it up and never aired it. Can you
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: imagine the president of the.
• 35:33
  Speaker 11: United States of America and they're not airing it.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: What are they afraid of? Well, that is the question.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Because he was talking about documents that were declassified. He
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: had all sorts of data, and you can always do
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: analysis post the press conference and say well, we are
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: not sure about this, But to not show the audience
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: to say, oh, we are worried he's going to mislead you.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's what you'd expect in some sort of
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: com means dictator shape and that were very happy with
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: a stella to play every narrative, every Russian collusion hoax,
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: every election denial from the Democrats. But when the president
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: talks about what happened in twenty twenty somehow it's taboo.
• 36:18
  Speaker 11: Right again, it's not a conspiracy if it's proof. And
• 36:22
  Speaker 11: to your point, who are you as journalists in these newsrooms,
• 36:27
  Speaker 11: who are you deciding what the American public should or
• 36:30
  Speaker 11: should not hear. That is what we went to journalism
• 36:33
  Speaker 11: school for, is we report on what is happening. You
• 36:37
  Speaker 11: decide how you want to take it, and you have
• 36:40
  Speaker 11: the post, you know speech, you know, pundans talk about it.
• 36:45
  Speaker 11: It was a disgrace and of course so back to
• 36:48
  Speaker 11: you know, Mikey Cheryl.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: It was only sixty five hundred, not a big deal.
• 36:51
  Speaker 11: But at the end of the day, this is what
• 36:53
  Speaker 11: Democrats have done.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: They opened up.
• 36:54
  Speaker 11: Our borders, They've imported so many illegals into our country.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: They want this well, the fact that they are willing
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: to die on this hill when they know how popular
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: it is to have voter ID, to have election integrity.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: It's popular across the board amongst Democrat voters as well
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: amongst every demographic and yet they are fighting it. You've
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: got to wonder why there's nothing to lose here, Why
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: are you fighting a policy that is so popular and
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: surely you would want to have election integrity now before
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: you go. Overnight, the House passed a one point one
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: five trillion annual defense policy bill, but there was a
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: bipartisan revolt over a provision that expands US Israel Defense
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Technology Corporation. What was that all about?
• 37:46
  Speaker 11: Well, okay, so I get why it was controversial because
• 37:49
  Speaker 11: Israel is vilified on the world stage. The left and
• 37:52
  Speaker 11: the right, they you know, agree on one thing. They
• 37:54
  Speaker 11: heat Israel, they hate, you know, the Jewish state. But
• 37:57
  Speaker 11: in reality, Israel is nne America's enemy. This is a
• 38:02
  Speaker 11: country that has close ties with America and they've been
• 38:06
  Speaker 11: sharing research and development for years. So to explain it
• 38:10
  Speaker 11: to your audience in the simplest terms, it's like two
• 38:13
  Speaker 11: friends who share toys and sometimes they work on projects. Right,
• 38:17
  Speaker 11: So when they this is you know, Israel in America,
• 38:20
  Speaker 11: and one friend says, can I borrow a toy? And
• 38:22
  Speaker 11: the other says, can I borrow a toy?
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: Well, now they have a.
• 38:24
  Speaker 11: Toy box and then they consistently fill it up with
• 38:27
  Speaker 11: new technology and ideas and whatever the military needs.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: But by the way, Rita, this isn't anything new.
• 38:35
  Speaker 11: The American military already uses technology that was created, you know,
• 38:39
  Speaker 11: in Israel. So America isn't really surrendering anything. They're teaming up,
• 38:43
  Speaker 11: you know, with a country that really just you know,
• 38:46
  Speaker 11: pioneers technology.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Stella, We know the Democrats have a problem with Israel,
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: particularly the radical Democrats who seem to be sitting the agenda,
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: but increasingly the GOP seems to have debate on this issue.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: It's becoming more and more contentious.
• 39:02
  Speaker 11: Absolutely, and but that's you know, at the end of
• 39:04
  Speaker 11: the day, Israel is not is not our issue. If
• 39:08
  Speaker 11: we want to talk about what's happening in America DSA
• 39:10
  Speaker 11: Democrats Socialists of America or I say DA, which is
• 39:14
  Speaker 11: destroy America, and there Islamo Marxists. And so while they're
• 39:18
  Speaker 11: focused on Israel, you know, especially the people on the right,
• 39:21
  Speaker 11: because you know, the Democrats are being you know eaten
• 39:23
  Speaker 11: up by DSA. But while they're focused on Israel, this
• 39:26
  Speaker 11: country is being taken over and Americans need to wake up.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: Stella Escapato, thank you so much for your time. Coming up,
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: the surprise cover girl of the latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Edition is announced. Kinsey Schofield is next welcome back. Joining
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: me now is host of the Kinsey Scofield Unfiltered podcast.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: Kinsey another of Radpit's children has distanced herself from her
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: famous father. Vivian Pitt, the eighteen year old daughter of
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, has filed a petition to
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: legally drop her father's surname. She has requested to change
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: her name to Vivian march Line Jolie to honor the
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: name of Jolie's late mother. That's every child now, isn't it.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: They've all seem to have distanced themselves from their father.
• 40:29
  Speaker 12: Yeah, Tim Jolie is telling page six that Angelina just
• 40:33
  Speaker 12: wants everyone to heal and that the children have been
• 40:35
  Speaker 12: remarkably restrained. That may well be true, but it's also
• 40:40
  Speaker 12: coming from her camp. The only thing we know for
• 40:43
  Speaker 12: certain is that this family has been living out an
• 40:46
  Speaker 12: incredibly painful breakup in public for nearly a decade.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: So hopefully we.
• 40:52
  Speaker 12: Don't hear much more from Team Angelina and they can
• 40:57
  Speaker 12: focus on the future and move on, because clearly Brad Pitt.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: Has well every fortnight it seems I have another story
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: on this family. So despite the split happening several years ago,
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: it seems the fallout continues. Now, let's talk about rapper
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: and singer Lizo flaunting her curves on the latest swimsuit
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: cover for Sports Illustrated. Posing in black, blue and burgundy swimwear.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: Lizzo is the magazine's July twenty twenty six digital cover model, Kinsey,
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: what do you think is the body positivity movement back?
• 41:39
  Speaker 12: You know, Sports Illustrated can absolutely put Lizzo on the cover.
• 41:42
  Speaker 12: You know that's their editorial choice. But I don't think
• 41:46
  Speaker 12: that it reflects where the public.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: Is not at all.
• 41:52
  Speaker 12: We're seeing an unprecedented demand for weight loss medications in America,
• 41:57
  Speaker 12: so I think the magazine is trying to lead a
• 42:01
  Speaker 12: conversation that the broader culture has already moved beyond. One
• 42:05
  Speaker 12: in eight adults is currently taking a GLP one medication,
• 42:09
  Speaker 12: and that tells you where the culture is headed.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's here. Well, Liza herself has been
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: accused of taking a zen Peak or similar and she
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: has certainly dropped a lot of weight, which indicates she's
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: doing something. Yeah.
• 42:26
  Speaker 12: I mean, she did admit I think not too long
• 42:30
  Speaker 12: ago that she had a relapse. So I don't know
• 42:33
  Speaker 12: if she stopped taking the medication or if she stopped
• 42:37
  Speaker 12: working out or whatever, but she's got a new album
• 42:41
  Speaker 12: to promote. This is great pr for her, positive or negative,
• 42:45
  Speaker 12: and so I'm sure she is happy either way.
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: Well, she has responded to the haters and she's embraced
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: a bigger frame. She said, when I was younger, I
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: saw it and never imagined somebody with my body type
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: would be on the cover. Just talk about Sports Illustrated here.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: Seeing this cover of me all sexy and fat and
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: fabulous in Maiti swim may trigger some people, but you know,
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: stay triggered. Do wonder how long will Sports Illustrated flirt
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: with this strategy and who is their target and market
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: with this exactly?
• 43:24
  Speaker 12: Magazines have to remember their audience, and the audience ultimately
• 43:27
  Speaker 12: decides whether the strategy keeps selling covers. Sports Illustrated's print
• 43:30
  Speaker 12: and media sales have declined significantly over the years. Their
• 43:34
  Speaker 12: print circulation dropped from three million to four hundred thousand.
• 43:38
  Speaker 12: It doesn't seem like the return on investment is there
• 43:40
  Speaker 12: for some of these clear PR stunts.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: Well, we saw Victoria's Secret go down a similar road
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: recently and sales declined and they went back to the
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: old strategy. So yeah, let's see what happens here now.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: Former women's number one tennis player Rancher Sanchez Viccario has
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: lifted the lid on how her former sixty million dollar
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: fortune vanished before her eyes. In an interview with Spanish TV,
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: Sanchez Vicario explained her ex husband, Joseph Santakana, is the
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: reason for her demise. She said, I trusted him because
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: he was the father of my children. I fell blindly
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: in love and he really isn't the person I thought
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: he was. Sanchez Viccario and Santakana went to trial in
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, accused of hiding assets in order to
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: avoid paying back a debt ode to the Bank of Luxembourg.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: She was handed a suspended two year prison sentence and
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: ordered to pay back over a million dollars worth of debt. Kinsey,
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: I mean this is.
• 44:44
  Speaker 12: A reminder that making millions and managing millions are two
• 44:48
  Speaker 12: completely different skill sets, and love can make people ignore
• 44:53
  Speaker 12: some pretty aggressive red flags, but blind trust and financial
• 44:58
  Speaker 12: oversay rarely. This is a cautionary tale on several levels.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: Will she make that.
• 45:05
  Speaker 12: Money back in a lifetime or a Netflix streaming movie
• 45:08
  Speaker 12: about the betrayal?
• 45:09
  Speaker 6: Perhaps she will?
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: Reader, God lover, well, I tell you she was a
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: much loved player on the circuit. She obviously played in
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: Australia plenty of times in the Australian Open and the
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: fans loved her. She was very generous with her fans.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: And this is a sad story. I mean, imagine massing
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: a fortune like that and if she's right here having
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: the man you love squander at all.
• 45:33
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: Page six has revealed why Ellen DeGeneres was snubbed from
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey's wedding in New York early
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: this month. One former producer on the show told Page
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: six she was a regular and favorite guest, but it
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: was always just a show relationship. They did lots of
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: fun stuff together, but there was never a friendship beyond
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: a professional one. Kinsey Taylor appeared on Ellen's show nineteen
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: times between two thousand and eight and twenty twenty one.
• 46:06
  Speaker 12: Well, I don't agree with this, producer. Ellen is notoriously
• 46:09
  Speaker 12: close to the Kardashians, who are hardly Taylor's favorite people.
• 46:14
  Speaker 12: So if Taylor is working overtime to keep this wedding
• 46:17
  Speaker 12: under wrap, she's not going to invite anyone who sits
• 46:19
  Speaker 12: one degree away from Chris Jenner and the TMZ tip line.
• 46:23
  Speaker 12: That is not a guest list, that is a potential
• 46:25
  Speaker 12: security breach. Plus Taylor loves putting a bully in their place,
• 46:29
  Speaker 12: so I think that's ultimately what's going on here.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: But she was very happy to be on The Bully
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: Show nineteen times when it suited her because she would
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: have heard some of the talk about what Ellen's really
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: like when she wasn't on camera. Well, Ellen bullied her.
• 46:49
  Speaker 12: She sat there and surprised her and made her go
• 46:52
  Speaker 12: through a like a PowerPoint presentation of all of her
• 46:55
  Speaker 12: ex boyfriends, including some people she hadn't dated in the
• 46:59
  Speaker 12: past two So I mean she yeah, I mean to
• 47:01
  Speaker 12: your point, she did know that Allen was a jerk.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: Now you're joining us from Los Angeles, and I want
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: to get your reaction to the years that California Governor
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom is trailing former Vice President Kamala Harris, another
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: Californian in the Democratic primary for twenty twenty eight. Kinsey,
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: a lot of Democrats don't like the fact that the
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: word salad queen who lost in a landslide, remains the
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: Democratic front runner for twenty twenty eight.
• 47:32
  Speaker 12: Yeah, please send help. I don't think this says as
• 47:35
  Speaker 12: much about Kamala Harris as it does about the Democratic Party,
• 47:38
  Speaker 12: still searching for a clear identity after twenty twenty four.
• 47:42
  Speaker 12: Name recognition still matters enormously in early polling, but twenty
• 47:46
  Speaker 12: twenty eight is a long way off. Hopefully another candidate
• 47:50
  Speaker 12: falls out of a coconut tree and exists in the
• 47:53
  Speaker 12: context of all in which they live and what they
• 47:56
  Speaker 12: came before them.
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: Wish yes, yes, very good. Some of her favorite are
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: phrases there. But I can't see that happening unless it's
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: one of these Democratic Socialists who seems to really be
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: having such enormous influence within the party. Who else is
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: it going to be? Is it going to be Bernie?
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: Is it going to be Gavin? Is it going to
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: be AOC? There are no good options there. You'd be
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: very confident if you're in the GOP that twenty twenty eight,
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: whether they go with Rubio, whether they go with JD VADs,
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: are they going to win easily?
• 48:33
  Speaker 12: Well, I mean I agree with you there. AOC was
• 48:36
  Speaker 12: the first name that popped up into my mind. We
• 48:38
  Speaker 12: know Corey Booker suspiciously found a way recently that you know,
• 48:42
  Speaker 12: I'm sure would look great on his arm. During a
• 48:45
  Speaker 12: campaign presidential campaign. So yeah, I think AOC is probably
• 48:52
  Speaker 12: gunning for it. But to your point, what hideous options?
• 48:56
  Speaker 6: Those are.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: Terrible, terrible. Now, before you go, let's have a quick
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: look at comedian Will Ferrell's son, Magnus. Fans are saying
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: he's got a big future in the music industry. God quick,
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: my good. Oh, I want the fuck your bad, Kinsey,
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: what do you think do we need another NEPO baby
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: on the scene.
• 49:23
  Speaker 12: No offense to chat Hanks, but I think Magnus might
• 49:25
  Speaker 12: be the exception that looks like Robin Thick and justin
• 49:28
  Speaker 12: Timberlakes baby, not Will Ferrell's. I'm excited to see what
• 49:31
  Speaker 12: he does next.
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: Kins is goofed. You're a fan, but then again, you're
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: a fan of Taylor Swift, so we've got a few
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: things to sort out with you. Always a pleasure. Thank
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: you for your time this evening, and thanks for your time.
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: Don't go anywhere. Newsnight is up next
