Speaker 1: On scoring leaves Ostrodia. This is the Wader Panety Show.
0:10
Speaker 2: Good evening, and welcome to the Rita Panety Show. Coming
0:13
Speaker 2: up tonight, and we'll look at the billionaire climate change
0:15
Speaker 2: alarmist racking up the miles on his private jet while
0:19
Speaker 2: sacking staff and replacing them with AI. The panel will
0:22
Speaker 2: weigh in on that shortly taxpayer funds squandered in another
0:26
Speaker 2: abandoned renewables project with the scene i'ma will have the
0:30
Speaker 2: latest on that. More senior Democrats get behind radical Zora
0:34
Speaker 2: Nandani as the party lurchers further left. Kosher Gator will
0:39
Speaker 2: be here to cover that, and later in the hour,
0:42
Speaker 2: Alex Stein will explain what he was doing on MSNBC
0:47
Speaker 2: and Left He's losing It features this self aware septim
0:51
Speaker 2: ring enthusiast.
0:52
Speaker 3: All leftist slip the scene. Yeah, bibe, it's because we
0:56
Speaker 3: want you to know.
0:57
Speaker 4: Okay, I put the septum ring on and I said,
1:00
Speaker 4: everybody is going to be able to identify me as
1:02
Speaker 4: a leftist.
1:03
Speaker 2: But first, billionairet Lassian boss and climate change alarmis Mike
1:07
Speaker 2: cannon Brooks has fired one hundred and fifty staff and
1:11
Speaker 2: replaced them with artificial intelligence, not with a meeting or
1:15
Speaker 2: a call, but with a pre recorded video. This comes
1:19
Speaker 2: just months after he purchased a private jet valued between
1:23
Speaker 2: seventy five and eighty million, which emits as much carbon
1:27
Speaker 2: dioxide in an hour as the average person does in
1:30
Speaker 2: an entire year, and he has not let that jet
1:33
Speaker 2: gather dust in the hangar or no. The OS reports
1:36
Speaker 2: Mike cannon Brooks aircraft has spent more than five hundred
1:40
Speaker 2: and thirty one hours or twenty two full days in
1:43
Speaker 2: the air, and has been airborne three hundred and nine
1:46
Speaker 2: days since September. The distance traveled is far enough to
1:50
Speaker 2: get to the moon literally and back. Joining me now
1:54
Speaker 2: for more on this is News Corps Senior rider Patrick
1:56
Speaker 2: Carline and research fellow at the Institute of Public effas
2:00
Speaker 2: as Colleen Hark and Colleen I don't want to call
2:02
Speaker 2: this man a hypocrite in anyway, but he did admit
2:07
Speaker 2: to feeling deep conflict over this private jet. But he
2:11
Speaker 2: also explained other time that he was actually helping the environment,
2:14
Speaker 2: So there's some logic at play there. But the missions
2:19
Speaker 2: it could power a small town for a year.
2:22
Speaker 5: But let's just call it for what it is.
2:24
Speaker 6: Reader, It is climate hypocrisy at large, the idea that
2:28
Speaker 6: he had some kind of internal problem dealing with how
2:33
Speaker 6: he should do this or not. I mean, you know, boohoo,
2:37
Speaker 6: stop him from doing this. And the comment that he
2:40
Speaker 6: made about this was going to help him be a
2:42
Speaker 6: better father. I thought was particularly objectionable because the average dad,
2:46
Speaker 6: you know, try to do his job and put food
2:48
Speaker 6: on the table for his kids, is dealing with his
2:50
Speaker 6: cost of living crisis as a result of energy cost
2:53
Speaker 6: going up and all of this sort of the elite
2:56
Speaker 6: telling us how we should live.
2:58
Speaker 5: I mean it is really you know, annoying to say
3:01
Speaker 5: the least.
3:02
Speaker 2: Well, it's one thing patrick for them to tell us
3:04
Speaker 2: how to live, even if they're not going to live
3:06
Speaker 2: it themselves. They can talk the talk, they don't want
3:08
Speaker 2: to walk it. But their advocacy, their activism, is having
3:13
Speaker 2: an impact because we have seen the big end of
3:16
Speaker 2: town get behind renewables, we've seen prices skyrocket, and we
3:22
Speaker 2: are in a cost of living crisis. It is all connected,
3:25
Speaker 2: loosely or sometimes quite directly.
3:28
Speaker 1: Look, I think billionaires worldwide probably, but we see it
3:31
Speaker 1: here in Australia confuse their vested interests with the national
3:34
Speaker 1: interest and we see that again and again. Look the
3:38
Speaker 1: way the nature of this sacking. It was a pre
3:41
Speaker 1: recorded video message. I think that says as much about
3:44
Speaker 1: the way these people think as does the preaching and
3:48
Speaker 1: the evangelical Well, the world must do this and the
3:51
Speaker 1: world must do that. It is a very easy one
3:54
Speaker 1: to sort of call out hypocrisy very readily, isn't it.
3:58
Speaker 2: It is, And they make it all too easy for us.
4:00
Speaker 2: I mean, just try to be a little bit more
4:02
Speaker 2: artful with the hypocrisy now Peak. Business bodies in New
4:06
Speaker 2: South Wales and South Australia have reacted to the Allen
4:09
Speaker 2: Labor Government's plan to make working from home a legal
4:13
Speaker 2: right in Victoria. The CEO of Business New South Wales,
4:16
Speaker 2: Daniel Hunter, has said the proposed blanket rule on working
4:20
Speaker 2: from home would make it harder and less appealing to
4:23
Speaker 2: do business in Victoria that New South Wales may well
4:26
Speaker 2: be the beneficiary of that, while the South Australian Business
4:30
Speaker 2: Chamber of CEO Andrew Kay said that Victorian business is
4:33
Speaker 2: already burdened by an excessive tax regime and low productivity,
4:38
Speaker 2: may struggle with the idea that this is a priority
4:41
Speaker 2: for their ailing economy and look to grow elsewhere, Colleen,
4:46
Speaker 2: that is the key word there, elsewhere, because businesses have options.
4:51
Speaker 2: And why would you invest in Victoria when already the
4:55
Speaker 2: tax regime is more difficult. We've got so much red tape,
4:59
Speaker 2: green tape, black tape, and now there's some position on
5:04
Speaker 2: allowing your workers to work from home for at least
5:07
Speaker 2: two days a week.
5:08
Speaker 6: Yeah, Victoria is already a difficult place to do business.
5:11
Speaker 6: It already has the highest taxes, as you've just said,
5:13
Speaker 6: and it has that it is the most indebted of
5:15
Speaker 6: all states.
5:16
Speaker 5: And what we need is less regulation, not more. This
5:21
Speaker 5: sort of scenario.
5:22
Speaker 6: About legally enshrining your right to work in your pajamas
5:26
Speaker 6: is really problematic.
5:27
Speaker 5: Because be careful what we wish for.
5:30
Speaker 6: If you can really do your job at home and
5:33
Speaker 6: your pajamas, you're not adding any other value to.
5:35
Speaker 2: The book, to your workplace exactly.
5:38
Speaker 6: Don't be surprised when your job goes overseas or given
5:42
Speaker 6: to AI. So we also have an obligation to the
5:46
Speaker 6: younger members of our workforce that sort of incidental mentoring
5:49
Speaker 6: that happens when you're in the office that you don't
5:51
Speaker 6: get when you're working at home. So you know, this
5:56
Speaker 6: sort of scenario about the government controlling business and what
5:58
Speaker 6: business can do and thinking that it can control it
6:01
Speaker 6: one more.
6:02
Speaker 5: Regulation is just wrong headed at every level.
6:04
Speaker 2: It is wrongheaded, and it will be a two step process.
6:07
Speaker 2: First you can work from home and then someone else
6:10
Speaker 2: can do your job from home. But Patrick, some have
6:15
Speaker 2: pointed out the big end of town, big businesses who
6:18
Speaker 2: are now railing against this proposal, Well, they were very
6:22
Speaker 2: happy to jump on the lockdown bandwagon allow their workers
6:26
Speaker 2: to work from home. They really have created the environment
6:30
Speaker 2: for this to happen because at that time it was
6:33
Speaker 2: the small businesses that were hurting and shutting down, and
6:36
Speaker 2: big businesses were able to carry on.
6:38
Speaker 1: That's right. Look, I don't think there's any need for this.
6:41
Speaker 1: There's no ground swell sort of demanding that Victoria must
6:44
Speaker 1: enshrine two days of work from home a week. I
6:47
Speaker 1: think Tim Wilson the NP called a stunt, and it
6:50
Speaker 1: is a stunt, and there are winners and losers here.
6:53
Speaker 1: The winners are going to be as you said in
6:54
Speaker 1: the Intro South Australia and New South Wales, given Victoria
6:58
Speaker 1: is such a difficult place to do business it is,
7:00
Speaker 1: and the losers are going to be Victoria because it's
7:03
Speaker 1: going to hurt investment, It's going to hurt all sorts
7:06
Speaker 1: of things. We do have these taxes. We are not
7:09
Speaker 1: an easy place at the moment. We're not a happy place,
7:12
Speaker 1: and this actually just makes it harder.
7:14
Speaker 2: But Colleen, despite all of those objections, despite the fact
7:18
Speaker 2: that there's even legal advice that this is going to
7:21
Speaker 2: be very difficult to implement because we're kind of moving
7:25
Speaker 2: into employment laws that the federal government would normally handle,
7:29
Speaker 2: I think this policy is going to be hugely popular,
7:31
Speaker 2: and I think that's why they're doing it. They're not
7:33
Speaker 2: completely economically illiterate. They just know people would like the
7:38
Speaker 2: idea to be at home for two days because we know,
7:41
Speaker 2: you know, you can do a lot of other things
7:42
Speaker 2: whilst you're at home that you can't do, whether it's
7:46
Speaker 2: staying in your pajamas, doing some washing, going seeing a movie.
7:50
Speaker 2: Throughout the day, you could do a lot. What do
7:53
Speaker 2: you think I mean, do you think that is essentially
7:55
Speaker 2: why they're going with it, despite businesses, in industry groups,
8:01
Speaker 2: legal experts all saying this is a bad idea.
8:04
Speaker 6: I think it's a political distraction of all the other
8:07
Speaker 6: issues that are in play all the other taxes that
8:10
Speaker 6: they've raised in the time that they've been in government,
8:13
Speaker 6: the fire safety taxes on our farmers, the renewable program
8:18
Speaker 6: that's going on down in the regional areas. I do
8:21
Speaker 6: think that people initially will think it's a fun idea
8:24
Speaker 6: because it is, you know, sort of appealing to the
8:27
Speaker 6: average person sort of not having to travel to work.
8:30
Speaker 6: But short term visionary is very problematically the long term
8:35
Speaker 6: scenario of this, The result is that it won't increase productivity.
8:38
Speaker 6: I mean, you can't really sort of have a thriving
8:42
Speaker 6: workplace when half your workplace isn't there. One of the
8:44
Speaker 6: industrial relations components of this, who's allowed to work at home?
8:47
Speaker 6: When can I do it? Any two days that I
8:50
Speaker 6: want to do we have to do the same two
8:51
Speaker 6: days together.
8:52
Speaker 2: Everyone's going to take Monday Friday off.
8:55
Speaker 6: Right, And so how does a business manage this logistically?
8:58
Speaker 6: So that's just going to create another layer of complexity
9:01
Speaker 6: for anyone trying to run a business in Victoria. The
9:03
Speaker 6: ultimate scenario there isn't then why would you There are
9:06
Speaker 6: other places to do business the are easy.
9:08
Speaker 2: But yeah, Patrick, let's be honest. Victorian voters and perhaps
9:12
Speaker 2: voters across the country are all about short term gratification,
9:17
Speaker 2: that don't seem to care overly much about the enormous
9:20
Speaker 2: stet that's been accumulated, That don't seem to care that
9:24
Speaker 2: a policy like this is going to further decimate the CBD.
9:27
Speaker 2: Melbourne's never fully recovered from the lockdowns. Our CBD hasn't
9:33
Speaker 2: and I think, you know, how do the Libs combat that,
9:37
Speaker 2: because short term gratification is a powerful force.
9:40
Speaker 1: Look, I noticed Brad Baton wasn't quick to condemn this
9:43
Speaker 1: when it came out on Sundays. He's sort of weighing
9:45
Speaker 1: up his beds. Which way should I go on this?
9:47
Speaker 1: It will be popular to begin with, certainly, and I
9:50
Speaker 1: think we saw that at the federal election with the
9:52
Speaker 1: Liberal policy and it wasn't just about lifestyle or indulging
9:57
Speaker 1: work or it was about saving money going to from
10:00
Speaker 1: work as well. And that is a big factor in
10:02
Speaker 1: the cost of living criss.
10:03
Speaker 2: Oh, and that make it so difficult, particularly in the city,
10:06
Speaker 2: for people to drive in and the cost is exorbitant.
10:10
Speaker 2: Now let's move along to superannuans looking to change their
10:14
Speaker 2: investment and retirement fund strategies before Labour introduces their new
10:18
Speaker 2: supertax putting the Treasury forecast that it will bring in
10:22
Speaker 2: as much as forty three billion over the next decade
10:25
Speaker 2: in doubt. Transmit my gruls at. Kim Lindsay and Neil
10:29
Speaker 2: Mansell have revealed that they are considering liquidating part of
10:32
Speaker 2: their self managed super funds in protest of this new tax,
10:36
Speaker 2: with billionaire Lindsay Fox declaring that it is a bad policy.
10:40
Speaker 2: I don't know why they would do it. It won't work.
10:43
Speaker 2: Everything the government does backfires. I just don't believe they
10:47
Speaker 2: will end up doing it. Patrick, that sounds like wish
10:51
Speaker 2: we'll thinking they're from Lindsay. I mean, he's a bit
10:53
Speaker 2: of a labor man. Maybe he thinks they're going to
10:55
Speaker 2: come through for him. But they're doing it.
10:57
Speaker 1: Look, I agree with Lindsay. It won't work. It won't
11:00
Speaker 1: raise the money. Look I know people on a personal
11:03
Speaker 1: level who are wealthier than I am who are facing
11:06
Speaker 1: having to pay this tax, and they're changing their super
11:08
Speaker 1: as we speak. They're making arrangements. People with three million
11:12
Speaker 1: dollars are more of super are generally very financially savvy.
11:16
Speaker 1: They're not going to give up money for free to
11:18
Speaker 1: the government. It's not going to raise forty three billion dollars.
11:21
Speaker 1: It is across the board unpopular. It is unfair. Doesn't
11:26
Speaker 1: mean it won't happen, but it is not going to
11:28
Speaker 1: raise the revenue that has been claimed.
11:30
Speaker 2: It is grossly unfair, Colleen, and I think again the
11:34
Speaker 2: Liberals were scared to properly fight this battle because it
11:38
Speaker 2: was seen as I were defending the uber rich when
11:42
Speaker 2: the policy in principle is just grotesquely unfair.
11:46
Speaker 5: It's I'm with Kerry Packer on this one.
11:48
Speaker 6: Remember when he said something like, you know, if anyone's
11:50
Speaker 6: not trying to minimize their tax, they're an idiot. Because
11:52
Speaker 6: the government's not spending it very well. So we're forced
11:56
Speaker 6: to put money into superannuation. And now that people have
11:59
Speaker 6: accrued an amount of money, they want to sort of
12:02
Speaker 6: cannibalize that and punish them for having done for years
12:06
Speaker 6: what they were told was the right thing to be doing.
12:09
Speaker 6: This is not about sort of fairness or equity or anything.
12:12
Speaker 6: This is actually about total control. Because it's like a
12:15
Speaker 6: person having a house and then having to pay tax
12:18
Speaker 6: on what that house might be sold for in a
12:21
Speaker 6: few decades to come. You don't have the cash to
12:23
Speaker 6: pay that tax, and so you have to sell it.
12:26
Speaker 6: So it's just about controlling the economic environment, forcing it
12:29
Speaker 6: to put money into something that they then want to
12:31
Speaker 6: forcibly take from you.
12:32
Speaker 2: That's exactly the plan. Now, before you two go interested
12:36
Speaker 2: in your thoughts on this story, freshly unearthed documents have
12:40
Speaker 2: revealed that back in twenty twenty three, the Melbourne City
12:43
Speaker 2: Council considered shutting down the Captain called Cottage and Fitzroy
12:47
Speaker 2: Gardens amid concerns that keeping it open did not align
12:52
Speaker 2: with the council's Indigenous reconciliation plan. Patrick, are we kidding ourselves?
12:57
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a beautiful part of history. It
12:59
Speaker 2: is a true attraction and it has been vandalized by
13:03
Speaker 2: the federal left, and it seems the council considered, oh yeah,
13:06
Speaker 2: let's give into the feral left and shut this place down.
13:09
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Look as a school kid, most school kids, oh,
13:12
Speaker 1: I went to Captain Cook's Cottage to see it. More recently,
13:16
Speaker 1: I've read Jeffrey Blainey's book on Captain Cook's Voyage. I
13:18
Speaker 1: recommend that to everyone. It is a pivotal part of
13:21
Speaker 1: our modern history of Australia. It didn't, it doesn't offend.
13:25
Speaker 1: It is just what happened and how it played out.
13:28
Speaker 1: We are here because of Captain Cook discovered some land
13:32
Speaker 1: you know, a long time ago. It is part of it.
13:34
Speaker 1: It's a fabric of our history and it doesn't come
13:37
Speaker 1: at the expense of other parts of our history.
13:39
Speaker 2: And Colleen, I know you are running the IPA's schools program.
13:43
Speaker 2: There is so much ignorance about Captain Cook, particularly around
13:47
Speaker 2: Australia Day. It really comes to the fore of how
13:50
Speaker 2: ignorant people are about the man who are protesting an
13:54
Speaker 2: invasion day.
13:55
Speaker 6: And yeah, I'll take the opportunity of the school's program
13:58
Speaker 6: a plug. We've done a unit on Captain and Cook
14:00
Speaker 6: and whether he was an intrepid navigator or a destructive colonizer.
14:05
Speaker 6: And it's a fabulous unit for schools to you to
14:07
Speaker 6: just work it through yourself. Once you know the facts,
14:09
Speaker 6: and once you know the information, then I think people
14:13
Speaker 6: make up their mind in the positive. As you say, Patrick,
14:16
Speaker 6: he's done an enormous amount of feats worldwide.
14:21
Speaker 2: He should be a hero. He should be a hero
14:23
Speaker 2: here and elsewhere in the world. Colleen Patrick, thank you
14:27
Speaker 2: so much for your time tonight. Thank you joining me now.
14:31
Speaker 2: Is a steam geologist and author professor Ian plymber Ian.
14:35
Speaker 2: Let's start with Tigy Forrest's one billion water pipeline, originally
14:39
Speaker 2: designed to service Fordescue's proposed green hydrogen plant in Gladston
14:43
Speaker 2: and Queensland. Well, it's said to be completed, but it
14:47
Speaker 2: has no customer to service because ford Escue has now
14:51
Speaker 2: decided to dump all of its green hydrogen projects, leaving
14:55
Speaker 2: tax payers in the lurch. And that's my big issue
14:58
Speaker 2: here in how does this pass the pop test? Why
15:02
Speaker 2: should taxpayers be paying a cent towards any of this?
15:07
Speaker 7: Well, I think part of the pub test or to
15:09
Speaker 7: be that politicians have various KPIs, and one of them
15:14
Speaker 7: should be that their salary is tied to success. Now,
15:18
Speaker 7: people in business have that KPI and if they have
15:21
Speaker 7: some ideological, hair brained scheme like this, then they should
15:25
Speaker 7: suffer financially and personally. What happens now is that there
15:30
Speaker 7: are no consequences for them wasting our money, for wasting
15:33
Speaker 7: taxpayers money. Now, any school child could have shown you
15:37
Speaker 7: that green hydrogen is just nonsense, because to make hydrogen,
15:42
Speaker 7: you've got to put a certain amount of energy into
15:44
Speaker 7: the system, and to burn that hydrogen, you release a
15:47
Speaker 7: certain amount of energy to make hydrogen that costs a
15:50
Speaker 7: certain amount of money, and to sell that hydrogen you
15:53
Speaker 7: can gain a certain amount of money. On both counts
15:56
Speaker 7: it ends up as negative. So this is a hair
15:59
Speaker 7: brain skill to start with. Now, politicians have been drinking
16:03
Speaker 7: the kol aid. Politicians have wanted to be wonderful and
16:05
Speaker 7: green and save the planet, but they're not saving us
16:09
Speaker 7: from bankruptcy. They might be saving their faith amongst their
16:12
Speaker 7: green friends when they go to a cop conference somewhere
16:15
Speaker 7: in the world, but they should actually have consequences for
16:19
Speaker 7: their adobe actions.
16:23
Speaker 2: There should be some consequences because taxpayers. I would hate
16:26
Speaker 2: to think how much in total taxpayers are funded in
16:30
Speaker 2: just abandoned renewables projects, never mind the dud ones that
16:34
Speaker 2: get completed and just make our energy more expensive. Now,
16:39
Speaker 2: a friend of this program, Adam Crichton, wrote a fantastic
16:43
Speaker 2: piece for the Australian newspaper on dud climate predictions, and
16:47
Speaker 2: he had a focus here on Ross Ga, the founder
16:50
Speaker 2: of Zen Energy, is a so called climate change economics
16:54
Speaker 2: guru and criton rights. The diminishing returns to hysteria and
16:59
Speaker 2: fear mongery isn't the only problem facing the emissions reductions Juggernaut.
17:04
Speaker 2: The rationale for replacing fossil fuels with wind and solar
17:08
Speaker 2: power are crumbling too, as Garno's history of failed predictions
17:13
Speaker 2: and mistaken analysis makes clear. I back in twenty nineteen,
17:18
Speaker 2: not that long ago, Garno declared he had no doubt
17:21
Speaker 2: that intermittent renewables could meet one hundred percent of Australia's
17:26
Speaker 2: electricity requirements by the twenty thirties, with high degrees of
17:30
Speaker 2: security and reliability, and at a wholesale prices much lower
17:36
Speaker 2: than experience in Australia over the past half dozen years. Well,
17:41
Speaker 2: here we are. We're in twenty twenty five. We've seen
17:44
Speaker 2: wholesale electricity prices almost triple in the past decade, and
17:49
Speaker 2: there's huge questions about reliability as well.
17:52
Speaker 7: In well, a few decades ago, before people start to
17:56
Speaker 7: think about unreliable energy and energy which has developed for
18:00
Speaker 7: wind and solar, we had cheap, reliable power and it
18:04
Speaker 7: was generated from coal, and by burning coal, we put
18:07
Speaker 7: plant food in the air and this helped everyone. Electricity
18:11
Speaker 7: was cheap, Electricity was reliable, and then we had this
18:15
Speaker 7: really intense long term scare campaign by green activists, by
18:21
Speaker 7: climate groups who wanted to make sure that they kept
18:23
Speaker 7: getting funded by the Guarnos of the world who could
18:27
Speaker 7: see business opportunities, and there were some wonderful business opportunities developed.
18:32
Speaker 7: People hype these up such that they could really chase
18:35
Speaker 7: the big target, and that was government subsidies, and that's
18:38
Speaker 7: what happened. We now have all of these wind and
18:41
Speaker 7: solar generating facilities funded by the taxpayer, who pays more
18:46
Speaker 7: for their electricity, who has even more unreliable power, and
18:51
Speaker 7: that's meant to be progress. So we have been conned
18:54
Speaker 7: in a very big way. And this is by people
18:57
Speaker 7: not asking your fundamental questions, are not going back to
19:01
Speaker 7: basics and saying we had cheap reliable power once, How
19:06
Speaker 7: can we have cheap reliable power from a different source.
19:10
Speaker 7: And the only way you can do this is from
19:11
Speaker 7: gas or from nuclear, but we cannot do it from
19:14
Speaker 7: wind and solar. That's been shown time and time and
19:17
Speaker 7: time again. So by promoting and promoting very hard that
19:22
Speaker 7: we should destroy farmland for wind and solar, that we
19:25
Speaker 7: should put these massive power lines right through farmland rather
19:29
Speaker 7: than building the power sources close to the user, and
19:32
Speaker 7: that's in the city. It's just madness. So this madness
19:36
Speaker 7: has finally come home and we're starting to see that
19:40
Speaker 7: these schemes are failing. They're costing us too much money
19:43
Speaker 7: and the average person is suffering with their power bill
19:47
Speaker 7: and farmers are just being destroyed. And it's about time
19:50
Speaker 7: we stopped being stupid and did what many countries do.
19:56
Speaker 2: Well on that. Many countries, particularly country tries that are
20:00
Speaker 2: similar to Australia, have center right parties that have abandoned
20:04
Speaker 2: net zero. Whether you're looking at the UK, both the
20:07
Speaker 2: Tories and Reform we're leading the polls right now saying
20:11
Speaker 2: we're not interested in net zero. We know Trump has
20:14
Speaker 2: abandon net zero completely, and yet here in Australia we
20:19
Speaker 2: are got a Liberal Party in opposition that is still
20:23
Speaker 2: clinging on to net zero. We are a bit of
20:25
Speaker 2: an outlier.
20:26
Speaker 7: Now, well, the Liberal Party is liberal in the US,
20:29
Speaker 7: since it's not a conservative party, and the Liberal Party
20:33
Speaker 7: has dropped the ball years ago. There are very very
20:35
Speaker 7: few people in the Liberal Party who are true conservatives,
20:40
Speaker 7: and maybe we should be doing what Menji did in
20:42
Speaker 7: nineteen forty three. It's get this gathering of conservative parties,
20:46
Speaker 7: put them together into a new party. But the Liberal
20:49
Speaker 7: Party is not serving as an opposition. They are basically
20:53
Speaker 7: yes men, especially in Victoria, and they are not allowing
20:57
Speaker 7: this country out of debt, they're not allowing the rich
21:00
Speaker 7: person to get ahead, and they're very, very complicit in
21:06
Speaker 7: destroying farmland. So it's about time the Liberal Party listened
21:09
Speaker 7: to the people who are members and listened to the electorate.
21:12
Speaker 7: And if they just had some principles in the last
21:16
Speaker 7: federal election, they would have won. They've abandoned their principles.
21:21
Speaker 2: They've abandoned their principals, they've abandoned their voters, and they've
21:26
Speaker 2: abandoned winning elections. Because as soon as they embraced it
21:29
Speaker 2: zero I think was back in twenty twenty three, they've
21:31
Speaker 2: lost twenty twenty one. They've lost two elections in landslides.
21:36
Speaker 2: Professor Implyma, thank you so much for your time tonight,
21:39
Speaker 2: stell de Karma. Lefties losing it, plus more senior Democrats
21:44
Speaker 2: get behind radicals or on Mamdani as the party lurches
21:48
Speaker 2: further left. Kosher Gator has the details. You're watching the
22:02
Speaker 2: Reader Panny Show and it's time for lefties losing it
22:06
Speaker 2: and the Democrats are in all sorts of trouble. Their
22:09
Speaker 2: brand is in the toilet and circling the drain. And
22:12
Speaker 2: things are about to get worse with a new congressional
22:15
Speaker 2: map in Texas being voted on, and that has Democrat
22:19
Speaker 2: congress Woman Jasmine Crockett losing it. She may even lose
22:22
Speaker 2: her seat. She's certainly lost all sense of decorum. Listen
22:26
Speaker 2: to how she speaks about President Donald Trump.
22:29
Speaker 7: Here.
22:30
Speaker 8: Listen, Donald Trump is a piece of Okay, we know it.
22:33
Speaker 3: Yes, yes he is here is here's but.
22:40
Speaker 8: In a functioning democracy he still will not be able
22:44
Speaker 8: to get away with this.
22:46
Speaker 2: After her foul mouth, ghetto like tirade against the US President,
22:50
Speaker 2: Jasmine went on the attack, this time with the Supreme
22:54
Speaker 2: Court making all sorts of wild claims, but most importantly.
22:59
Speaker 8: The court, especially the Supreme Court, it's complicit. And so
23:04
Speaker 8: I think one of the places that we have to
23:06
Speaker 8: start is we are absolutely they are the highest court
23:10
Speaker 8: in the lands and they have no ethics guardrails. Now
23:14
Speaker 8: you go down to the lower.
23:15
Speaker 3: Courts and they do.
23:17
Speaker 2: How much sense does that make?
23:19
Speaker 8: Well, we know that they're taking money, We have the
23:21
Speaker 8: paper trail, and they refuse to put guardrails on themselves.
23:25
Speaker 8: So it's time for us to do it for them.
23:28
Speaker 2: That all sounds rather insurrectiony to me. She doesn't respect
23:32
Speaker 2: the rulings of the Supreme Court, that she just accused
23:35
Speaker 2: them of taking bribes, and here she is threatening to
23:39
Speaker 2: beat down Republicans.
23:41
Speaker 8: They expect Democrats to kind of be the nice guys
23:44
Speaker 8: that we are. They expect us to take the punch
23:47
Speaker 8: and say thank you. Well, I am here to tell
23:49
Speaker 8: you not only are we gonna punch back, but we're
23:51
Speaker 8: about to beat you down.
23:55
Speaker 2: No one thinks Democrats are the nice guys, Jasmine. And
23:59
Speaker 2: to just see the clapping there like deranged seals and
24:03
Speaker 2: talking about deranged here is Democrat Senator Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, lying,
24:09
Speaker 2: just lying, lying, lying.
24:12
Speaker 9: You know, it keeps getting worse. Today, Donald Trump and
24:15
Speaker 9: the White House announced they're going to spend two hundred
24:18
Speaker 9: f million dollars to build a large, fancy White House ballroom.
24:23
Speaker 9: This is what those was all about, folks, cutting things,
24:26
Speaker 9: taking things away from you, and not giving it to
24:29
Speaker 9: someplace that needed it, giving it to the big shots
24:31
Speaker 9: who run the show. Donald Trump at the top of
24:33
Speaker 9: the list. Maybe he can park his new plane in
24:36
Speaker 9: the big ballroom. It's probably big enough.
24:38
Speaker 2: Now Chuck knew he was lying there. He knew he's
24:42
Speaker 2: not stupid, but he knows he can get away with it,
24:45
Speaker 2: and so he felt rather comfortable fronting the media to
24:49
Speaker 2: repeat those same lies, suggesting taxpayers were footing the bill
24:53
Speaker 2: for this planned ballroom. Watch this clip followed by a
24:57
Speaker 2: quick fact check from Caroline Leavitt.
25:00
Speaker 9: He is even something more confounding. Some breaking news just now,
25:04
Speaker 9: the White House announced construction of a two hundred million
25:08
Speaker 9: dollar White House ballroom that will begin in September. A
25:12
Speaker 9: two hundred million dollar ballroom. Where did this money come from?
25:17
Speaker 9: Did Congress appropriate it? I don't think so. It's almost
25:20
Speaker 9: like Doge was never about waste it all.
25:23
Speaker 10: President Trump and other donors have generously committed to donating
25:27
Speaker 10: the funds necessary to build this approximately two hundred million
25:31
Speaker 10: dollar structure.
25:33
Speaker 2: Now, I've often I argue that we need to bring
25:35
Speaker 2: back asylums, make asylums great again. And here is further
25:38
Speaker 2: proof that there is a shortage. This lefty is having
25:42
Speaker 2: a murderous meltdown because Donald Trump acts taxpay funded MPR
25:47
Speaker 2: and something called tiny desk Q tantrum.
25:51
Speaker 11: I don't shell all you have to sell.
25:57
Speaker 2: Now, let's check in on some activists those keen enough
26:01
Speaker 2: to make signs and turn up to protests claiming the
26:04
Speaker 2: president is a fascist and the real criminals are in
26:07
Speaker 2: the White House. You know, you'd expect those folk to
26:10
Speaker 2: be really across the issues, have some in depth knowledge.
26:15
Speaker 4: What crimes have they committed?
26:18
Speaker 1: Trump?
26:19
Speaker 5: Yeah, the ones in the Oval Office?
26:22
Speaker 3: What crimes have those people committed?
26:24
Speaker 1: You want to look it up on Wikipedia, there's like
26:26
Speaker 1: a list.
26:27
Speaker 5: Well, you need the signs, I'm asking you.
26:30
Speaker 1: It's true. I'm at a protest though. Yeah, I don't
26:33
Speaker 1: need to know anything. I'm here from my community.
26:36
Speaker 5: Okay, So you.
26:36
Speaker 12: Make a sign about people being criminals, but you don't
26:39
Speaker 12: know what you meet it for?
26:40
Speaker 13: It all right?
26:41
Speaker 3: So I make a sign supporting my community and the
26:43
Speaker 3: people in it.
26:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm not ashamed.
26:46
Speaker 2: I think he should be ashamed of it. But here
26:48
Speaker 2: are some more protesters who have absolutely no idea what
26:52
Speaker 2: they're protesting, who they're protesting, or why, but they're there
26:57
Speaker 2: holding signs.
26:58
Speaker 7: Do you think Charlie Kurage is a white supremacist who
27:03
Speaker 7: you're protesting?
27:05
Speaker 13: Charlie Kurkain, Charlie Kerkus, He's the.
27:08
Speaker 3: CEO of Turning Point USA. It's the whole reason for
27:11
Speaker 3: the protest.
27:12
Speaker 2: Now, I've been accused of stereotyping folks with septim rings
27:16
Speaker 2: as lefties. Well, here is a septum wearing lefty confirming
27:21
Speaker 2: that it's not a stereotype. It's just facts.
27:24
Speaker 3: All leftists look the same.
27:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, babe, it's because we want you to know.
27:28
Speaker 1: Okay, I put the septum ring on, and I said, everybody.
27:32
Speaker 3: Is going to be able to identify me as a leftist.
27:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, and here is another sad girl with a septum ring,
27:42
Speaker 2: living up to the stereotype beautifully. I'm definitely not proud
27:46
Speaker 2: to live in this country.
27:48
Speaker 3: Trump is a piece of the Republican Party is a
27:54
Speaker 3: piece of.
27:56
Speaker 13: You know why.
27:59
Speaker 2: Kamala gave me hope. It wasn't her, it was ten walls.
28:04
Speaker 2: I'm a min a sultan.
28:06
Speaker 3: I know what he stands for.
28:09
Speaker 5: Now.
28:09
Speaker 2: This next clip is rather adorable. Here you have a
28:13
Speaker 2: lefty mom, a Democrat, being trolled by her own son.
28:17
Speaker 2: This is love.
28:18
Speaker 14: So I'm stay the night with my son. And he
28:21
Speaker 14: has a very sick sense of humor. He made a
28:25
Speaker 14: Trump bedroom for me. Notice Trump toilet paper, Trump mugshots,
28:36
Speaker 14: and he said, open the closet, open the closet.
28:42
Speaker 2: A life size freaking.
28:46
Speaker 4: Oh.
28:47
Speaker 3: I don't believe it.
28:49
Speaker 2: Superb. She may be a lefty, but obviously she's raised
28:52
Speaker 2: a sensible son. And I think you should do that
28:55
Speaker 2: to any lefty family members you may have, if you
28:57
Speaker 2: invite them over, decorate the room accordingly. Now, President Trump
29:03
Speaker 2: was asked about the ad that's got everyone talking American Eagles,
29:06
Speaker 2: Sydney Sweeney ads. And watch his reaction when he's told
29:10
Speaker 2: the actress is a registered Republican.
29:14
Speaker 3: She's very hard art.
29:16
Speaker 1: She's a registered Republican. Oh now, I love her ad?
29:20
Speaker 1: Is that right? Is Sidney Sweeney? You'd be surprised at
29:24
Speaker 1: how many people are Republicans.
29:27
Speaker 9: That's what I.
29:27
Speaker 1: Wouldn't have known. But I'm glad you.
29:29
Speaker 2: Told me that.
29:31
Speaker 7: If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her
29:35
Speaker 7: ad is fantastic.
29:38
Speaker 2: I like I put that condition on it. If she
29:40
Speaker 2: is a registered Republican. I'm not sure he's convinced. Let's
29:44
Speaker 2: bring in Sky News contributor Kosher Gayta Kosher. There is
29:47
Speaker 2: a cultural shift happening in the US. We're seeing a
29:50
Speaker 2: move away even in these commercials that are so typically woke,
29:54
Speaker 2: the whole fat positivity thing is seems to be forgotten,
29:58
Speaker 2: and we're getting back to objective standards of beauty.
30:02
Speaker 12: It does sound like the pendulum finally might be swinging
30:05
Speaker 12: back with a tipping point. I think it all goes
30:08
Speaker 12: back to November and Trump coming back with a bang
30:11
Speaker 12: and winning everything, including the popular vote, which tells you
30:14
Speaker 12: what the sentiment is publicly. Then I would put Colbert's
30:17
Speaker 12: cancelation and Rosie and Ellen and everybody leaving the country
30:21
Speaker 12: as one measure.
30:22
Speaker 3: And then this ad.
30:24
Speaker 12: And what will be very interesting is to see what
30:26
Speaker 12: happens to Sidney Sweeney's career from here now that she's
30:29
Speaker 12: been outed as a registered Republican. Will Hollywood casting folk
30:33
Speaker 12: try to cancel her not? And if they don't, she
30:35
Speaker 12: continues to land rules or modeling gigs. And I think
30:38
Speaker 12: for sure we can say that the moment has arrived
30:41
Speaker 12: and all that woke stuff is thankfully in the past.
30:44
Speaker 7: Now.
30:45
Speaker 2: American Eagle is certainly benefiting from this controversy. They're seeing
30:49
Speaker 2: their share price go up, a lot of interest in
30:51
Speaker 2: their products. Let's look at Duncan Donut's latest ad. They're
30:55
Speaker 2: hoping for a similar outcome.
30:58
Speaker 10: I didn't ask to be the King of Summer just
31:00
Speaker 10: kind of happened. This tan genetics. I just got my
31:04
Speaker 10: color analysis back. Guess what Golden Summer. Literally, I can't
31:11
Speaker 10: help it.
31:12
Speaker 2: Maybe because it's a man, it hasn't caused as much controversy,
31:15
Speaker 2: but it still caused quite a bit of a stir.
31:17
Speaker 2: And it's got that trigger word genetics in there.
31:20
Speaker 12: So funny, and he's a young actor from a TV
31:23
Speaker 12: show and so they're casting somebody and using that trigger word,
31:26
Speaker 12: which is what it is. It's interesting from a creative
31:29
Speaker 12: decision perspective. It's not that original given the other agency
31:33
Speaker 12: just you know, use that same word. But to the
31:35
Speaker 12: point that we're making about this continuum that we're on,
31:38
Speaker 12: it's interesting. And there's almost a divergence because you have
31:41
Speaker 12: the bud Light fiasco, you have the Jaguar ad which
31:44
Speaker 12: totally was panned just a week ago, and stop his
31:47
Speaker 12: following shares of falling. Sales are falling, and then on
31:49
Speaker 12: the side, American Eagle is ascendant, not for maybe fundamental reasons,
31:53
Speaker 12: but certainly the market seems to be rewarding them in
31:55
Speaker 12: the past couple of weeks, and so other brands like
31:58
Speaker 12: Dunk Your Donuts are looking at those two and deciding
32:00
Speaker 12: to be on the side of the leisure or not
32:02
Speaker 12: a lot.
32:02
Speaker 3: With but late.
32:03
Speaker 2: Who knows, maybe they came up with that first. I mean,
32:06
Speaker 2: just because we've looked at it second doesn't mean the
32:09
Speaker 2: create point that may have been first. Now let's get
32:12
Speaker 2: to the serious stuff. The Democrats, including senior Democrats like
32:16
Speaker 2: Elizabeth Warren, are getting behind Zaur and Ma'm darny. They
32:20
Speaker 2: think the party needs to lurch further left.
32:24
Speaker 6: Aggressive soldier.
32:26
Speaker 1: Is this what the party should look like?
32:28
Speaker 11: Yes, you bet.
32:30
Speaker 15: The Democratic Party needs to stand up and be clear.
32:34
Speaker 15: We are the party that fights for affordability for working families.
32:39
Speaker 15: That means childcare, that means housing, it means healthcare, It
32:43
Speaker 15: means making this country work better for the working people
32:47
Speaker 15: who make this country work.
32:49
Speaker 5: All right, last question.
32:51
Speaker 1: I get a little excited about this.
32:54
Speaker 2: All right, there you go. Pokahontas is all excited, kosher.
32:59
Speaker 2: He's not a range dooiling the Democrats anymore, and in
33:02
Speaker 2: many ways he's representative of the modern Democrats he is now.
33:06
Speaker 12: This socialist strain has long been present in the Democrat
33:11
Speaker 12: Party and in the left wing of politics everywhere. But
33:14
Speaker 12: what's interesting here is when it used to just be
33:16
Speaker 12: about working class and using the collective as a way
33:19
Speaker 12: to redistribute wealth and all of that. He's got that,
33:22
Speaker 12: at least he's touting those policies, as does Elizabeth Warren.
33:25
Speaker 12: But then he's this missmash of trans rights and intifada
33:29
Speaker 12: and racial justice and all that stuff rolled in together,
33:32
Speaker 12: which is different from what it used to be. But
33:34
Speaker 12: I think the problem is the root issue here is
33:37
Speaker 12: economic inequality is on the rise. Young people can't get
33:40
Speaker 12: a foothold in the economy with housing and jobs and.
33:43
Speaker 3: All of that.
33:43
Speaker 12: So there's a lot of frustration, and there are two
33:45
Speaker 12: very high contrasting positions being presented.
33:48
Speaker 3: By both sides.
33:49
Speaker 12: For the right, it's low taxes, no tax on tips,
33:52
Speaker 12: stopping illegal immigration which competes in the job market, etc.
33:55
Speaker 12: And on the left, though you've got this stuff about
33:57
Speaker 12: handing out free things and making the big bad evil
34:00
Speaker 12: rich people.
34:00
Speaker 2: Hey support it based certainly from what we've seen of
34:04
Speaker 2: the data is affluent. He had more support amongst those
34:10
Speaker 2: affluent voters who you would think would be looking at
34:12
Speaker 2: his policy proposals and going, this isn't in our interest.
34:16
Speaker 2: But perhaps it isn't their interest because they know how
34:19
Speaker 2: this game works, and.
34:20
Speaker 12: It's the virtual signaling, so or the affluent people can
34:22
Speaker 12: afford the luxury belief because even with the about economy,
34:26
Speaker 12: they're doing fine and they get to virtue signal their virtue.
34:29
Speaker 12: He himself is one of those elites who comes from
34:31
Speaker 12: a background, a very rich background with both of his parents.
34:33
Speaker 12: So he's sort of a Champagne socialist.
34:35
Speaker 2: As they say, oh aren't they all, and let's hear
34:38
Speaker 2: from the Democrat Socialists of America. This is a member
34:43
Speaker 2: of that group as well as a member of Mandani's campaign,
34:47
Speaker 2: and is explaining here about the policies they hope to implement.
34:51
Speaker 16: Most importantly is we collaborated with the Zaura Mundani campaign
34:55
Speaker 16: on his trans race platform, and what we explicitly wanted
34:59
Speaker 16: to do was use the power of New York City
35:02
Speaker 16: to provide free gender affirming care and I say free
35:06
Speaker 16: in case insurance companies to say, to prove us off
35:09
Speaker 16: free gender of firming care not just to people in
35:11
Speaker 16: New York City.
35:11
Speaker 1: But across the country.
35:12
Speaker 16: When Zorn first kind of approached hesa leadership about writing,
35:17
Speaker 16: his pitch was he said, I'm going to get socialists
35:21
Speaker 16: to vote for me, and I'm going to get Muslims.
35:22
Speaker 7: To vote for me.
35:24
Speaker 2: There you go, free sex changes for everyone, and then
35:28
Speaker 2: wholly aligns there between the socialists and Muslims. Kosher most
35:35
Speaker 2: about Muslims would be absolutely horrified by the transagenda, but
35:41
Speaker 2: they're still pushing ahead with this alliance. They seem to
35:46
Speaker 2: have a common enemy. But apart from that, I don't
35:48
Speaker 2: know what else they share.
35:49
Speaker 12: So true, it's this coalition of the fringest. It's this
35:51
Speaker 12: mashup again of social economic socialism with trans rates, with
35:56
Speaker 12: everything else.
35:57
Speaker 3: You're absolutely right.
35:57
Speaker 12: In Michigan that group, parental rights was a big issue
36:01
Speaker 12: and they really got activated against the left, came out
36:04
Speaker 12: for Trump for the first time, actually people who otherwise
36:06
Speaker 12: maybe didn't like Trump. But just because of this trans thing,
36:09
Speaker 12: these guys are ensconced to New York City Mamdani, so
36:11
Speaker 12: they can afford to push those things.
36:14
Speaker 3: But you can't make this stuff up.
36:16
Speaker 12: Just looking at those guys in their end ninety five masks,
36:18
Speaker 12: they all look that way, and it's like every petition
36:22
Speaker 12: for casting pushing it. And now they're going to go
36:24
Speaker 12: from hotels housing massive amounts of illegal migrants to now
36:28
Speaker 12: hotels apparently housing gender affirming care people.
36:31
Speaker 2: And flying in people from all across the country, and
36:35
Speaker 2: the tax payer will subsidize their sex change operations. And presumably,
36:40
Speaker 2: given the ideological point of view these people have, that
36:44
Speaker 2: includes underwright AIDS, it does.
36:46
Speaker 12: And the tax space is going to keep leaving because
36:48
Speaker 12: the rich people that fund that that tax space are
36:51
Speaker 12: just continuing to leave New York for other places. Unfortunately,
36:54
Speaker 12: wherever they go they take those policies with them. But
36:56
Speaker 12: in the short term, that's going to keep happening.
36:59
Speaker 2: Now, let's year from the former president Joe Biden, who
37:03
Speaker 2: was honored at the National Bar Association gala event in
37:06
Speaker 2: at Chicago over the weekend, and he made some observations
37:10
Speaker 2: about the Trump administration.
37:12
Speaker 17: Here immigrants who are in this country legally torn from
37:17
Speaker 17: the arms of the family, dragged away in handcuffs from
37:22
Speaker 17: the only home they've ever known. My friends, you need
37:26
Speaker 17: to finish the hard truth of this administration and has
37:30
Speaker 17: been to ease all the gains we meet in my administration,
37:35
Speaker 17: to erase history.
37:38
Speaker 2: Kosher is Joe confused again, because that's how elections work.
37:43
Speaker 2: The new guy comes in and he implements his policies
37:46
Speaker 2: that he's people voted for, but he seems outraged there.
37:49
Speaker 2: It's like they're raising history.
37:52
Speaker 12: She is confused about a lot of things, and this
37:54
Speaker 12: I think least among them. His former boss, President Obama
37:58
Speaker 12: famously said, I just with my pen and my phone,
38:00
Speaker 12: I can do all sorts of things to reverse executive
38:02
Speaker 12: actions that were taken before him, and he did, and
38:05
Speaker 12: so it in Biden himself do that. So yes, that's
38:07
Speaker 12: what happens. I also was not lost on me that
38:10
Speaker 12: he has been tried out to keynote at the Bar Association,
38:13
Speaker 12: which has become a politicized organization, or going after some
38:16
Speaker 12: of Trump's lawyers trying to despar them.
38:18
Speaker 3: Oh, that's happening.
38:19
Speaker 12: So I don't think it was a coincidence that they
38:21
Speaker 12: chose to bring him out and put him there in
38:23
Speaker 12: the day.
38:24
Speaker 2: They gave him an award on the night, so he
38:26
Speaker 2: was out there. But I do wonder if the Democrats
38:28
Speaker 2: are happy with Joe Biden being continuously in the media.
38:32
Speaker 2: About a week or so ago, we had his son
38:35
Speaker 2: Hunter Biden again causing all sorts of headlines and trouble
38:40
Speaker 2: for the Democrats. No one would want him out there,
38:42
Speaker 2: just going through what happened in the last.
38:45
Speaker 3: Four years, the dirty laundry. What chance that.
38:49
Speaker 2: Could they appoint him to some sort of the body.
38:52
Speaker 2: Can they make him chair of something, So he's got
38:55
Speaker 2: some obligation to not damage the brand.
38:58
Speaker 3: Further Hunter and seen her as well.
39:01
Speaker 12: I think both of them are a problem there, and
39:03
Speaker 12: you're right because he is not the best spokesperson for them.
39:05
Speaker 12: You also have Kamla out there now doing his offline
39:08
Speaker 12: with her.
39:08
Speaker 3: Book, so there's nobody really that is doing that.
39:11
Speaker 12: And that's why you've got the Mamdani's of the world,
39:13
Speaker 12: AOC who's actually raising money and doing very very well,
39:16
Speaker 12: and she is articulate and she does have conviction for
39:18
Speaker 12: her positions, though fringe as they may be versus these
39:21
Speaker 12: guys are not helping. He's still arguing the legal immigration point,
39:25
Speaker 12: which is like an eighty twenty issue now in favor
39:27
Speaker 12: of Trump, the Trump administration's policy agenda. So he's not
39:31
Speaker 12: helping the party and they seem to be a little
39:32
Speaker 12: bit lost in the wilderness until they find a leader,
39:35
Speaker 12: a defactor leader who can speak well.
39:37
Speaker 2: And Kamala was asked who is the current leader of
39:40
Speaker 2: the Democrats. She was on the Steve Golbay Show, and
39:43
Speaker 2: she couldn't come up with an answer. In fact, had
39:45
Speaker 2: no nominations, and we've got some sort of a word
39:48
Speaker 2: salad from her, as we often do. Now before you go,
39:51
Speaker 2: President Trump has threatened India with even higher tariffs. They've
39:55
Speaker 2: already got a fairly poor deal with twenty five percent tariff, right,
40:00
Speaker 2: and he's making this threat because India is buying oil
40:04
Speaker 2: from Russia. And we spoke about this last week. Trump
40:09
Speaker 2: really is fairly artfully using this tariff policy to get
40:15
Speaker 2: the foreign policy outcomes that he wants.
40:17
Speaker 3: It does.
40:18
Speaker 12: It is a multi layered lever for him, certainly for
40:21
Speaker 12: economics and pouring in external revenue which has been happening
40:25
Speaker 12: also as a bargaining ship with Canada and Mexico for instance,
40:28
Speaker 12: around the fentanyl and border issue. He's tying it together
40:31
Speaker 12: with tariffs now here. This one is a little bit controversial,
40:34
Speaker 12: where he is paying a price with his base that
40:36
Speaker 12: does not want the US to interfere much more in
40:39
Speaker 12: the Ukraine Russia saga. Certainly not militarily, but even this
40:42
Speaker 12: way sort of going to quote unquote war economic war
40:45
Speaker 12: with allies like India for Russia. It's not something that
40:49
Speaker 12: has consensus in his base. But obviously he is frustrated
40:52
Speaker 12: with that war that he said famously he would end
40:54
Speaker 12: in twenty four hours has not happened. He's been frustrated
40:57
Speaker 12: with Putin in recent weeks, and so he's trying this
41:00
Speaker 12: see where it goes.
41:00
Speaker 2: You're right, it's not popular with the base, and the
41:03
Speaker 2: same phenomenon is evident with Israel, probably to a greater extent,
41:07
Speaker 2: where he's making certain decisions based on how that country
41:11
Speaker 2: looks at Israel. And again elements of the base don't
41:14
Speaker 2: want that. They want to pure America first.
41:17
Speaker 3: Approach should come up all the raising issue for sure.
41:19
Speaker 2: Koshagata, thank you so much for your time. Tonight still
41:22
Speaker 2: to come. Texas troublemaker Alex Stein's MSNBC protest goes viral.
41:27
Speaker 2: The man himself joins me, next, welcome back. Let's check
41:43
Speaker 2: in on how MSNBC are going.
41:46
Speaker 12: Here.
41:46
Speaker 2: They try to do a live cross but there's an
41:49
Speaker 2: aggrieved young man who looks rather familiar, and he had
41:53
Speaker 2: this important message to impart to MSNBC viewers.
41:58
Speaker 11: We just watched the speaker gabble out with a whole
42:01
Speaker 11: lot of anger. Kelly, here's the state of play, here's the.
42:06
Speaker 13: ABC sig.
42:10
Speaker 4: Okay, Sometimes this happens.
42:13
Speaker 2: Yep, that's our Alex Stein, Primetime ninety nine. He's making
42:18
Speaker 2: sure miss NBC's remaining viewers know that MSNBC sucks. And
42:23
Speaker 2: he wasn't done yet though the MSNBC anchor thought he was.
42:27
Speaker 4: Ryan has cleared the set, as we would like to say,
42:30
Speaker 4: the gentleman moved on. So Ryan, let me turn back
42:32
Speaker 4: to you. Nicely handled there. Can you give us an
42:36
Speaker 4: update on as you were walking us through this? We'll
42:40
Speaker 4: all take a breath there, Maybe not? Okay, go ahead, Ryan,
42:47
Speaker 4: see hold on, hold on one second. Okay, we're just
42:53
Speaker 4: going to pull the plug there.
42:54
Speaker 7: Thank you.
42:55
Speaker 2: Play is high.
42:58
Speaker 11: Yes, there's a whole lot of of anger here as
43:01
Speaker 11: you can see. So we're gonna get a control of
43:04
Speaker 11: this and come back to you and we.
43:05
Speaker 4: Can fair enough, fair enough, and we recognize people are
43:07
Speaker 4: expressing their views and were there to cover it.
43:11
Speaker 2: Joining me now is comedian and host of Prime Time
43:14
Speaker 2: with Alex Stein on tav Alex. What was that all about?
43:20
Speaker 13: Well, Rita, today was a crazy day at the Capital.
43:23
Speaker 18: Not only did they have a vote on redistricting, which
43:25
Speaker 18: you know, a lot of the progressives were going to
43:27
Speaker 18: lose a few of their counties. But on top of that,
43:32
Speaker 18: today they were voting on a transgender bathroom bill, which
43:35
Speaker 18: will actually limit transgenders and women's spaces. So it was
43:38
Speaker 18: kind of a monumental day and the bill ended up passing.
43:41
Speaker 18: So there was a lot of news media there and
43:44
Speaker 18: you know MSNBC, even though they lie about a lot
43:46
Speaker 18: of stuff, they are right there. The energy was high
43:48
Speaker 18: in the capital today and once I saw my opportunity
43:51
Speaker 18: to call out the MSDNC after what they've done to
43:53
Speaker 18: Donald Trump and the propaganda that they spread.
43:56
Speaker 13: It felt good to just to tell them how much
43:59
Speaker 13: they think as a news media company.
44:03
Speaker 2: Alex. I've got to say, MSNBC handled that bitter than
44:06
Speaker 2: I thought they would. I think deep down they know
44:09
Speaker 2: they suck. That's why they didn't fight it. But tell
44:12
Speaker 2: me about this build that past, what transgender laws have
44:16
Speaker 2: been changed in Texas, the trans policy.
44:19
Speaker 18: Why it's so important is that you know, people think
44:21
Speaker 18: it's just this issue where transgenders can go into women's
44:25
Speaker 18: spaces and just you know, the bathroom, but this is
44:28
Speaker 18: actually a bill that protects people in all spaces that
44:31
Speaker 18: that's the gym, that's locker rooms, that's in you know.
44:34
Speaker 13: Any sort of public facility that the state owns. So
44:37
Speaker 13: this is why it's.
44:37
Speaker 18: Important because there's a lot of people that they just
44:42
Speaker 18: I hate to admit it though I was just there.
44:44
Speaker 13: It was literally all men trying to fight to be
44:47
Speaker 13: in women's spaces.
44:48
Speaker 18: I mean, there weren't that many, you know what I'd say,
44:51
Speaker 18: female to male trans people.
44:53
Speaker 13: They are trying to fight to use the men's ressroom.
44:55
Speaker 18: It was all men to female transition transgender people fighting
45:00
Speaker 18: those women's spaces. But luckily it passed. And in Texas
45:03
Speaker 18: it's a.
45:03
Speaker 13: Crime if you go into the bathroom and you're the
45:05
Speaker 13: wrong biological sex.
45:07
Speaker 2: Well, that is good news. Now played clips of Texas
45:11
Speaker 2: Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett earlier threatening to beat down Republicans, calling
45:17
Speaker 2: the president a pos She's a charm of that one,
45:22
Speaker 2: and she may be gone. Tell me about what is
45:25
Speaker 2: happening in Texas with the congressional map.
45:28
Speaker 18: Well, so the map is changing now there's going to
45:31
Speaker 18: be more conservative districts. But at the same time, you know,
45:34
Speaker 18: they also got an entire Latino district and an African
45:37
Speaker 18: American district. But what happens that just is so it's
45:40
Speaker 18: just you know, like music to my ears because of
45:43
Speaker 18: this new redistricting, Jasmine Crockett is going to get drawn
45:46
Speaker 18: out of her seat. So there's you know, everybody in
45:48
Speaker 18: the state of Texas is very exciting for the very
45:51
Speaker 18: excited for this redistricting to get past. So we can
45:53
Speaker 18: say cyanara to Jasmine Crockett, who is probably one of
45:57
Speaker 18: the biggest frauds on Capitol Hills.
46:00
Speaker 13: So this is good news for the people that are
46:02
Speaker 13: actually paying attention.
46:03
Speaker 18: But at the same time, they couldn't get it done
46:05
Speaker 18: because there was not enough politicians there to actually get
46:07
Speaker 18: the quorum. So because all the progressives were gone, they
46:10
Speaker 18: weren't actually able to approve it. So we're still kind
46:12
Speaker 18: of at the same point where we started.
46:17
Speaker 2: Well what's happening with that? Because yeah, we saw the
46:19
Speaker 2: Democrats fleeing to places like Chicago so they could avoid
46:23
Speaker 2: this vote being held and being passed. Surely that tactic
46:28
Speaker 2: can't work long term. What's going to happen next?
46:32
Speaker 18: Well, right now, they're basically being held in contempt and
46:36
Speaker 18: if they don't come back, they could be subject to arrest.
46:38
Speaker 18: But a lot of this though, Rita, you know, is
46:40
Speaker 18: it political theater? Are they actually going to arrest them?
46:43
Speaker 18: And hold them accountable. So I hope it's the latter.
46:45
Speaker 18: I hope they actually arrest these people for you know,
46:47
Speaker 18: derelictive duty, because we have serious issues in Texas that
46:51
Speaker 18: need to be addressed, but instead of addressing those problems,
46:53
Speaker 18: these politicians are running to Illinois for lord knows what reasons.
46:58
Speaker 18: So they should be held accountable for not actually going
47:01
Speaker 18: and doing their job that they're elected to do by
47:03
Speaker 18: the Texas people. So I actually hope that it's not
47:06
Speaker 18: just lip service and these politicians actually have to pay
47:09
Speaker 18: a price for, you know, turning their backs on their constituents.
47:14
Speaker 2: Well, the Texas Attorney General has threatened to arrest them,
47:17
Speaker 2: and I really do hope they follow through with that.
47:19
Speaker 2: It shouldn't just be a threat. There's got to be
47:21
Speaker 2: consequences for this sort of behavior, and it is a
47:25
Speaker 2: dereliction of duty or one hundred percent right there, Alex.
47:28
Speaker 2: Now let's move on to this interesting case a soccer
47:31
Speaker 2: fan being kicked out of a stadium for wearing a
47:35
Speaker 2: mega hat. This is still happening. This was at a
47:38
Speaker 2: Saint Louis City game.
47:41
Speaker 10: So I'm Michael Whitzell, I'm me an asked to lead
47:44
Speaker 10: by the police because Donald Trump.
47:50
Speaker 9: Policops've got deal with OMEGA, but they don't do not
47:53
Speaker 9: be to believe they don't want anything.
47:55
Speaker 7: Place.
47:56
Speaker 8: Those flags over there, those priacts over there, those aren't.
48:00
Speaker 10: So my question to you guys is are these rules equally.
48:03
Speaker 7: Important for everybody?
48:05
Speaker 2: Alex, As he points out, people in the crowd are
48:08
Speaker 2: waiving Pride flags, trans flags, but somehow that's not political,
48:12
Speaker 2: But wearing a mega cap is political and one is acceptable.
48:16
Speaker 18: The other reasons, well, Rita, you know that you spend
48:20
Speaker 18: a lot of time in the United States of America
48:22
Speaker 18: and soccer may be the biggest sport globally, but here
48:25
Speaker 18: in America, we're all about American football. So this guy,
48:28
Speaker 18: if he goes to any NFL game this year, nobody's
48:32
Speaker 18: going to even you.
48:32
Speaker 13: Know, bad and I they'll probably celebrate him.
48:35
Speaker 18: So the fact that this is a soccer game, which
48:37
Speaker 18: is one of the least popular sports in our country,
48:39
Speaker 18: and they're kicking them.
48:40
Speaker 13: Out, it's really sad.
48:41
Speaker 18: I just hope that they don't go down the path
48:44
Speaker 18: of the WNBA and go out of business.
48:47
Speaker 13: We want more professional sports leagues, not less.
48:49
Speaker 18: So they need to stop alienating people, especially over half
48:52
Speaker 18: of the American people that voted for Donald Trump.
48:56
Speaker 2: Absolutely, but we've got to get you a little bit
48:58
Speaker 2: interested in soccer, Alex because the US is holding the
49:02
Speaker 2: World Cup next year and it is going to be enormous.
49:05
Speaker 2: Alex Stein, thank you so much for your time tonight,
49:08
Speaker 2: and that's all the time I've got an go anywhere.
49:11
Speaker 2: Newsnight is coming up next. I'll see you at eleven
49:14
Speaker 2: tomorrow Night
