- 0:15Speaker 3: the Victorian election. The panel will join me to discuss

- 0:48Speaker 3: and Left He's Losing It Again features former Canadian PM
- 0:52Speaker 3: Justin Trudeau's ongoing midlife crisis. But first, a new poll
- 1:09Speaker 3: of more than six and a half thousand voters has
- 1:12Speaker 3: put One Nation ahead of Labor leading up to the
- 1:15Speaker 3: Victorian election. The poll, commissioned by Trades Hall, includes a
- 1:19Speaker 3: seat by seat breakdown and shows that they could be
- 1:22Speaker 3: a three cornered contest between Labor, the Coalition and One
- 1:25Speaker 3: Nation in dozens of seats. The primary vote intention for
- 1:29Speaker 3: labor and the coalition sits at twenty six percent. One
- 1:33Speaker 3: Nation is on twenty seven percent. Let's bring in News
- 1:36Speaker 3: Corps senior writer Patrick Carline and Institute of Public Affairs
- 1:39Speaker 3: Research fellow Colleen Harken. Patrick, I'll start with you. Trades
- 1:44Speaker 3: Hall boss Luke Killacari will share this starter with unions
- 1:47Speaker 3: on Tuesday in what is expected to be a push
- 1:50Speaker 3: for them to campaign harder for labor. Trades Hall won't
- 1:54Speaker 3: be happy about the results of this report. They've commissioned
- 1:58Speaker 3: this research and it shows even in the most left
- 2:01Speaker 3: wing state in the country, one nation is a head
- 2:04Speaker 3: of labor.
- 2:05Speaker 4: Victoria is going to serve the role of Guee pick
- 2:08Speaker 4: for the rest of the country when it comes to
- 2:09Speaker 4: the One Nation rise. The election is in November. It
- 2:14Speaker 4: is a three horse race and if you talk to
- 2:16Speaker 4: the pollsters, they're saying that seats could flip according to
- 2:20Speaker 4: one or two percent changes in the primary vote. Labor
- 2:24Speaker 4: is on the nose. That makes it totally different to
- 2:26Speaker 4: the rest of the country. I mean, I think Victoria
- 2:29Speaker 4: passed the milestone of one million potholes the other day.
- 2:33Speaker 4: Oh wow, Yes, I mean, that's what we do here,
- 2:36Speaker 4: the pothole capital.
- 2:37Speaker 3: Forget about the sporting capital. It's just new honors we've
- 2:40Speaker 3: been bestowed with every day, Colleen, It's wonderful.
- 2:43Speaker 5: Now.
- 2:44Speaker 3: This follows a Morgan pole that was released yesterday showing
- 2:48Speaker 3: that one nation leads federally. There was talk yesterday because
- 2:53Speaker 3: I think there was a resolved poll showing one nation
- 2:55Speaker 3: had dropped back. Morgan pole showed the opposite it, and
- 3:00Speaker 3: I think people are desperate. People in the Coalition and
- 3:03Speaker 3: Labor are desperate to clink to any data other shows
- 3:07Speaker 3: there may be a bursting of the bubble for one
- 3:10Speaker 3: nation that doesn't seem to be happening.
- 3:12Speaker 6: Pauline, No, look, I think that the polls will bounce around.
- 3:16Speaker 6: I mean the federal election is actually not due for
- 3:18Speaker 6: another two years. Victoria is the most the one to
- 3:22Speaker 6: watch from an indicative point of view, but the fact
- 3:25Speaker 6: that those statistics exist at all is astounding. And the
- 3:30Speaker 6: three horse race component in the Victorian election, I think
- 3:33Speaker 6: it will be I do think it'll be very very close.
- 3:36Speaker 6: People are looking for an alternative, they're looking for some
- 3:39Speaker 6: hardcore action to fix what is wrong with the stage,
- 3:43Speaker 6: and everybody knows there's a lot that needs to be addressed.
- 3:46Speaker 6: It will be interesting though, because one nation haven't announced their.
- 3:48Speaker 3: Team yet, I don't even have a leader. To me,
- 3:51Speaker 3: it's astounding, but they are leading in this state when
- 3:55Speaker 3: they actually don't have a leader. They don't have a
- 3:58Speaker 3: voice here. Pauline hands and I guess is the leader.
- 4:02Speaker 6: But I think that shows you the sentiment of people
- 4:05Speaker 6: that they are really looking for something, you know, they're
- 4:08Speaker 6: not sort of voting on voting on the vibe at
- 4:10Speaker 6: the moment.
- 4:11Speaker 3: And I think in a way it really is an
- 4:14Speaker 3: indictment on the VIC Libbs to Patrick, because they do
- 4:18Speaker 3: have a leader, they've got a team, they've been in
- 4:20Speaker 3: opposition for a long time, and to have a party
- 4:25Speaker 3: with a federal leader from Queensland with really very little
- 4:29Speaker 3: local presents leading them and leading labor, they've got to
- 4:33Speaker 3: look at how they're going about things.
- 4:35Speaker 4: Absolutely, look and look. It is a three horse race
- 4:38Speaker 4: and it is very difficult to predict what will happen.
- 4:40Speaker 4: Nobody really knows what will happen. And I think what
- 4:44Speaker 4: we can sort of feel assured of is that one
- 4:46Speaker 4: nation will get a lot of seats and it will
- 4:49Speaker 4: become a test case for how the nation votes federally.
- 4:53Speaker 4: Down the track, there'll be eight a months or more
- 4:55Speaker 4: where one nation will actually get to wield a bit
- 4:58Speaker 4: of power one way or another, and that will fascinating
- 5:00Speaker 4: to see for the rest of the nation.
- 5:02Speaker 3: What happens in Victoria absolutely now. Opposition leader Angus Taylor
- 5:07Speaker 3: was on two GB this morning defending his criticism of
- 5:11Speaker 3: one nation.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Have a listen, say what I say about one nation
- 5:14Speaker 1: with a heavy heart. Frankly, I say it with a
- 5:16Speaker 1: heavy heart. When you add up even some of their policies,
- 5:20Speaker 1: you get to the kind of spinning that will create
- 5:22Speaker 1: a debt crisis in this country. Now, why does that matter?
- 5:25Speaker 1: Because it drives up inflation, it drives up interestrates, and
- 5:28Speaker 1: it makes people poorer Coleen.
- 5:30Speaker 3: Angus Taylor is quick to point out that his main
- 5:35Speaker 3: focus is labor. Most of his criticism is aimed at labor.
- 5:39Speaker 3: But it is any criticism of one nation that's going
- 5:42Speaker 3: to get the headlines.
- 5:44Speaker 7: Is that ill advised?
- 5:45Speaker 3: Is that really going to bring back those liberal voters
- 5:49Speaker 3: who've left the fold?
- 5:50Speaker 8: Oh?
- 5:50Speaker 6: I think it's terribly ill advised from the Liberal party
- 5:54Speaker 6: because there are so many disaffected liberals that they can
- 5:58Speaker 6: win back if they play their card, that's right, and
- 6:01Speaker 6: dissing one nation is not going to do it. The
- 6:05Speaker 6: dissatisfied liberal is looking for the Liberal Party to find
- 6:08Speaker 6: its spine again, and they've sort of, you know, they've
- 6:12Speaker 6: moved over to the new boyfriend sort of thing and
- 6:16Speaker 6: they're waiting to see whether it listic or not. So
- 6:18Speaker 6: I think sort of being seen to see one nation
- 6:22Speaker 6: as their enemy is not good politics for them. They
- 6:25Speaker 6: should be focused on labor and the rest of it
- 6:27Speaker 6: will work out in the wash.
- 6:28Speaker 9: If they focus directly on where their enemy.
- 6:30Speaker 3: Is and Patrick, it shouldn't be too hard. They would
- 6:34Speaker 3: know what the key issues are why one nation is
- 6:37Speaker 3: resonating with so many people. And if they did find
- 6:41Speaker 3: their spine, if they were clear in their policy positions
- 6:44Speaker 3: and they weren't this sort of broad church that's all
- 6:47Speaker 3: things to everybody, they probably would be in a much
- 6:50Speaker 3: better position. And I think just undermining one nation isn't
- 6:55Speaker 3: going to.
- 6:55Speaker 4: Get them there, and it tends to undermine the people
- 6:58Speaker 4: who have shifted to one nation, doesn't it. And I mean, look,
- 7:01Speaker 4: nobody's listening to Angus Taylor and the Liberals at the moment.
- 7:04Speaker 4: They don't have a constituency or certainly nothing like they did.
- 7:08Speaker 4: And the point is nobody's shifted to one nation because
- 7:11Speaker 4: of one nation's policies. They've shifted because Paul and has
- 7:14Speaker 4: put up at hand and said, I hear your grievances.
- 7:17Speaker 4: I hear that you feel left behind. And I think
- 7:20Speaker 4: Angus Taylor should be concentrating on trying to sort of
- 7:23Speaker 4: tell the people we hear, we know what's going on here,
- 7:26Speaker 4: we understand your problems with the cost of living and
- 7:30Speaker 4: everything else. And this doesn't do that. It just actually
- 7:33Speaker 4: undermines those people who have moved towards one nation.
- 7:37Speaker 3: Now, the Daily Telegraph is reporting house prices across Metropolitan
- 7:41Speaker 3: Sydney are plumaging. Despite the Prime Minister promising his housing
- 7:45Speaker 3: tax reforms would not see prices go backwards, the latest
- 7:50Speaker 3: house price mapping shows prices dropped by as much as
- 7:53Speaker 3: nine percent in some Sydney suburbs. Colleen, this is terrible news.
- 7:58Speaker 3: I know some people see falling house prices and think, oh,
- 8:01Speaker 3: that's fantastic, but for the majority of Australians, their home
- 8:05Speaker 3: is their biggest assets and to have that go backwards,
- 8:08Speaker 3: particularly when they have a mortgage, it's disaster.
- 8:12Speaker 6: Well nine decrease is extraordinary to fall in that period
- 8:17Speaker 6: of time. Look, everybody wants the house prices to fall
- 8:19Speaker 6: until you've got one, and then you wanted to stabilize
- 8:23Speaker 6: and slowly increment. But you know, this is a factor
- 8:26Speaker 6: of a very poorly received budget where it is still
- 8:30Speaker 6: rolling out about the effects of it, and the lack
- 8:33Speaker 6: of consumer confidence. So it all works towards a very
- 8:38Speaker 6: sort of poor scenario. And it's not actually it's not
- 8:41Speaker 6: the first home buyers are buying into the market either.
- 8:45Speaker 9: There's just this stagnation.
- 8:46Speaker 6: The auction clearance rates are very low, like nationally forty
- 8:51Speaker 6: seven forty eight percent.
- 8:52Speaker 3: Which there as well. So it just shows you that
- 8:56Speaker 3: there's just complete lack of confidence right now in bricks
- 9:00Speaker 3: and mortar, which is normally the safest form of investment,
- 9:03Speaker 3: the most conservative form of investment. Now, residential property investors
- 9:08Speaker 3: are beginning to switch strategies and focus on new housing estates.
- 9:12Speaker 3: First home buyers currently have a strong foothold in the
- 9:16Speaker 3: new build market, making up over forty percent of total purchases,
- 9:20Speaker 3: compared to local investors who are just under twenty percent.
- 9:24Speaker 3: Analysis by The Australian Newspaper shows that buying a medium
- 9:28Speaker 3: price established property today leaves an investor more than seven
- 9:32Speaker 3: hundred dollars a week out of pocket, whereas a new
- 9:35Speaker 3: bill puts them behind by less than two hundred and
- 9:37Speaker 3: fifteen dollars a week after tax. Patrick, this is the
- 9:41Speaker 3: law of unintended consequences. Again, these policies we were told
- 9:45Speaker 3: by the Albanzy government were designed to help first home
- 9:49Speaker 3: buyers and it's hurting them now. They're competing with investors
- 9:53Speaker 3: who used to leave those home and land packages alone
- 9:57Speaker 3: in the past, but no.
- 9:58Speaker 4: More or where investors got only go otherwise, And when
- 10:01Speaker 4: they can't buy established properties, they can't throw it into
- 10:03Speaker 4: the stock market. They're going to get smashed in every
- 10:06Speaker 4: rich way. The only safe haven is new bills. Yeah,
- 10:09Speaker 4: and that was a pretty good place for first home
- 10:11Speaker 4: buyers to try and sort of get into the market.
- 10:14Speaker 4: You're going to have investors absolutely swarming this sector and
- 10:17Speaker 4: this part of the property market, and it's not going
- 10:19Speaker 4: to work for first home wives.
- 10:21Speaker 3: No, that was one area where less than one in
- 10:26Speaker 3: five was going to investors. They were buying those properties,
- 10:29Speaker 3: and it is often a great first step into the
- 10:32Speaker 3: property market. It may not be in an area you
- 10:35Speaker 3: want to be in forever, but it gets you an
- 10:38Speaker 3: entry into the property market. And Colleen, now I think
- 10:42Speaker 3: it's going to be a lot more difficult if this
- 10:43Speaker 3: start and if this trend continues.
- 10:46Speaker 6: Yeah, and it's also usually at a price point where
- 10:48Speaker 6: first home buyer can compete. They can actually get into
- 10:51Speaker 6: the market, and so it's a great first step. But
- 10:54Speaker 6: now if they're competing. You know, you said unintended consequences.
- 10:58Speaker 6: I'm never sure about this, whether they actually intend this
- 11:01Speaker 6: or not, because if you did the homework, you would know.
- 11:04Speaker 9: That this is going to happen.
- 11:06Speaker 3: That's true, And I'm just.
- 11:07Speaker 6: Never really sure about how they could have made such
- 11:09Speaker 6: drastic decisions that change the market so substantially and not
- 11:13Speaker 6: have considered them properly.
- 11:14Speaker 3: And the same could be said about the increases we're
- 11:17Speaker 3: seeing in rents. That was completely predictable. In fact, we've
- 11:22Speaker 3: seen it before in this country. The last time they
- 11:24Speaker 3: fiddle with negative gearing, which seen it recently in New Zealand.
- 11:28Speaker 3: They knew it was going to happen, and yet they've
- 11:30Speaker 3: gone down that road now. Treasurer Jim Chalmers has been
- 11:33Speaker 3: warned that the proposed capital gains tax exemption for startups
- 11:38Speaker 3: has too many hurdles for most innovative companies to qualify.
- 11:42Speaker 3: The Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry has argued that
- 11:45Speaker 3: the government's exemption focuses too much on tech and ignores
- 11:49Speaker 3: innovation in other sectors like mining, exploration, advanced manufacturing, agribusiness
- 11:54Speaker 3: and health services. Colleen again a red hot mess here,
- 11:59Speaker 3: just on multiple fronts.
- 12:01Speaker 7: They've tried to do.
- 12:03Speaker 3: Little fixes here and there, and it just exposes again
- 12:06Speaker 3: how ill considered this entire strategy is.
- 12:09Speaker 6: And this is two months after the budget was handed
- 12:12Speaker 6: down and we're still talking about it and they're still
- 12:15Speaker 6: trying to twike it. Look, the bottom line here is
- 12:18Speaker 6: if you can't keep what you create, there's no incentive
- 12:21Speaker 6: to innovate and startup companies take large risks and take
- 12:26Speaker 6: long time to see the return on in their investment.
- 12:29Speaker 9: So they need to be rewarded for that.
- 12:31Speaker 6: They need to sort of feel that it is that
- 12:34Speaker 6: the risk that they are taking that some stage they
- 12:36Speaker 6: will get the benefit of it. And all of this
- 12:39Speaker 6: is doing is making it much more difficult and it
- 12:42Speaker 6: will go offshore.
- 12:43Speaker 7: Well that is so right.
- 12:45Speaker 3: I know personally of so many young people who are
- 12:51Speaker 3: looking to move to Singapore, move to Dubai because the
- 12:54Speaker 3: tax environment, the business environment there is just so much better. Patrick,
- 12:59Speaker 3: Why not if you don't have things keeping you in
- 13:02Speaker 3: this country, particularly if you're younger and you don't have
- 13:05Speaker 3: kids at school here, you can just get up and leave.
- 13:08Speaker 4: Why do you want to take a big risk and
- 13:10Speaker 4: then if it pays off, give thirty to fifty percent
- 13:13Speaker 4: of it to the government.
- 13:14Speaker 3: Yeah, it did nothing because and if it doesn't pay off,
- 13:17Speaker 3: you're done.
- 13:17Speaker 7: You probably lost your house or whatever else you had.
- 13:20Speaker 4: This is anti aspiration, isn't it. I mean, is it
- 13:23Speaker 4: is timing creativity and innovation in a way that the
- 13:27Speaker 4: nation really cannot afford it. I don't imagine they set
- 13:30Speaker 4: out to do that, But it's like this whole budget.
- 13:32Speaker 4: It was done on the back of it serviette almost
- 13:34Speaker 4: and they keep changing the yeah, chaging it that.
- 13:37Speaker 3: But it's also a deeply ideological budget, which makes me
- 13:41Speaker 3: think it shouldn't be shocking them because this is socialist
- 13:46Speaker 3: left faction of Labor which runs that party right now.
- 13:48Speaker 3: This is just what they love. This, this is the ideology. Now,
- 13:52Speaker 3: before you go, there's been a shocking development in the
- 13:55Speaker 3: murder case of former UK Conservative MP and wit and
- 13:59Speaker 3: Combe to terrorism Police officers are now leading the investigation
- 14:03Speaker 3: into the suspected murder due to new information and evidence.
- 14:07Speaker 3: The twenty eight year old British man taken into custody
- 14:10Speaker 3: has been rearrested on suspicion of commission, preparation or instigation
- 14:15Speaker 3: of acts of terrorism.
- 14:17Speaker 7: Oh, Colleen, we spoke about this yesterday.
- 14:21Speaker 3: British police was saying there was no political motivation here.
- 14:26Speaker 3: I said last night on this program it was far
- 14:29Speaker 3: too premature to come to that conclusion. And now they've
- 14:32Speaker 3: already got egg on their face. How could they be
- 14:35Speaker 3: so bold in coming out and declaring this isn't terrorism,
- 14:39Speaker 3: this isn't domestic terrorism, there's no political motivation so quickly
- 14:45Speaker 3: they seem to be so eager to stop the public
- 14:49Speaker 3: speculating about this.
- 14:50Speaker 6: Yeah, they really don't want people to have that conversation,
- 14:53Speaker 6: do they. I mean, any investigation will evolve over a
- 14:56Speaker 6: period of time and new evidence will come about.
- 14:58Speaker 9: But that's exactly to your point.
- 15:00Speaker 6: At that stage they should say we're keeping an open
- 15:02Speaker 6: mind because public confidence in what they're doing is hugely important.
- 15:06Speaker 9: And if they're so.
- 15:07Speaker 6: Fast to come out and just dismiss what most people
- 15:10Speaker 6: are very concerned about.
- 15:11Speaker 9: It undermines the public confidence.
- 15:13Speaker 5: You know.
- 15:13Speaker 6: They're very quick to sort of make these these to
- 15:16Speaker 6: shut down conversations that they don't want people to have.
- 15:20Speaker 3: And always conversations in the one direction. This is the
- 15:23Speaker 3: most politically correct police force in the world. Patrick Carlin
- 15:27Speaker 3: and Colin Harkin, thank you so much for your time. Now,
- 15:30Speaker 3: Chris Bowen has proved yet again how divorce he is
- 15:34Speaker 3: from the real world. While Australians struggle under the cost
- 15:37Speaker 3: of living pressures. Those chosen to join the Climate Change
- 15:40Speaker 3: and Energy Minister in Turkey for COP thirty one, the
- 15:44Speaker 3: Climate Summit will receive a twenty thousand dollars grand each
- 15:48Speaker 3: to help cover their expenses. Meanwhile, farmers are feeling abandoned.
- 15:54Speaker 3: Mike O'Connor writes in The Courier malth Today. They shake
- 15:57Speaker 3: their heads in disbelief when the federal gup them and
- 16:00Speaker 3: spends billions on renewable subsidies and supporting climate change activists
- 16:05Speaker 3: who would shut down the coal, oil and gas industries.
- 16:08Speaker 3: That they are the lifeblood of many bush towns. Joining
- 16:13Speaker 3: me now for more on this is a steam geologist,
- 16:15Speaker 3: author and executive director at Hancock Energy Professor Ian Plymer.
- 16:20Speaker 3: In Australian taxpayers will be contributing around one hundred and
- 16:24Speaker 3: fifty million dollars to Chris Bowen's Cop thirty one frolic
- 16:29Speaker 3: in Turkey.
- 16:31Speaker 10: Our taxes are being pillaged by people who have access
- 16:35Speaker 10: to our money and who are just supporting their pet projects.
- 16:40Speaker 5: None of these renewable pet.
- 16:41Speaker 10: Projects lowered the cost of electricity. There is not one
- 16:45Speaker 10: jurisdiction in the world that's had lower energy costs because
- 16:49Speaker 10: of wind and because of solar. We are having these
- 16:52Speaker 10: people sieving taxpayers money, going on a jaunt and having
- 16:58Speaker 10: the arrogance claim that they're actually working. It's about time
- 17:03Speaker 10: this stop. The major political parties have to jump on this.
- 17:07Speaker 10: This is appalling to waste so much money. One hundred
- 17:11Speaker 10: and fifty million could be very well spent in rural
- 17:13Speaker 10: Australia making sure that we have food, making sure that
- 17:17Speaker 10: we have employment. This is an appalling abuse of power
- 17:21Speaker 10: by those who just don't care and have no contact
- 17:24Speaker 10: with people in the electric.
- 17:27Speaker 3: What seems to be a bit of an ego trip
- 17:29Speaker 3: for the Climate Change minister. This has got that new
- 17:32Speaker 3: role at Kopp and his loving as Now the government
- 17:36Speaker 3: has also been accused of betraying farmers after approving a
- 17:40Speaker 3: foreign purchase of Tasmania's largest farm for a tree growing
- 17:45Speaker 3: carbon scheme. Jim Chalmers last week approved the purchase of
- 17:49Speaker 3: the Russia Lagoon Farm, which stretches twenty two thousand hectares
- 17:54Speaker 3: ian peak. Farm bodies and locals said this is going
- 17:57Speaker 3: to deliver a major blow to food security and the
- 18:02Speaker 3: local supply chain.
- 18:04Speaker 10: Well, these are international treaties which allow people to put
- 18:08Speaker 10: carbon into the ground in other jurisdictions, So someone in
- 18:12Speaker 10: Switzerland might buy up a piece of land in Tasmania
- 18:15Speaker 10: and make a fortune from the Australian government.
- 18:18Speaker 5: So again, this is the Australian.
- 18:20Speaker 10: Government letting down farmers and letting down farmers really badly
- 18:24Speaker 10: supporting foreign companies.
- 18:26Speaker 5: Who are just pillaging this country.
- 18:28Speaker 10: And I just wonder how many brown paper bags change hands,
- 18:32Speaker 10: because this is not economic, it's not in the wealthy
- 18:37Speaker 10: of the country, it's not for the good of the farmers,
- 18:39Speaker 10: and we are having farmland which is highly productive been.
- 18:44Speaker 5: Now wasted with growing trees.
- 18:48Speaker 10: Grass is also a very good thing to grow that
- 18:52Speaker 10: takes carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
- 18:54Speaker 5: If you think that's important. I don't.
- 18:56Speaker 10: So again we have a government wasting money at Spener
- 19:00Speaker 10: Farmer and selling off our country to foreigners who only
- 19:03Speaker 10: want to make a quid and have no interest in
- 19:06Speaker 10: the long term welfare of this country.
- 19:09Speaker 3: Now, Hancock Prospecting Executive Chairwoman Jenna rein Hart has invested
- 19:13Speaker 3: seventy two million dollars into the X ray company Lumeatron.
- 19:19Speaker 3: The revolutionary imaging technology can detect contaminants in iron ore
- 19:24Speaker 3: but also cancer and I know this is an issue
- 19:29Speaker 3: that is close to your heart, professor. Can you tell
- 19:32Speaker 3: me a little bit about this investment and what it
- 19:36Speaker 3: means to you personally.
- 19:38Speaker 10: Well, I've invested interest in this for two reasons. I
- 19:41Speaker 10: was diagnosed with a very aggressive metastatic melanoma some six
- 19:45Speaker 10: and a half years ago.
- 19:47Speaker 5: I'm on immunotherapy.
- 19:48Speaker 10: I'm still above the grass and I'm still upright, so
- 19:51Speaker 10: something's working. The second thing is I was on the
- 19:54Speaker 10: Due Diligence Committee to look at this new technology of lumetrons.
- 19:58Speaker 10: And the first part it is where molecules are created
- 20:03Speaker 10: that are very very small. There's nanoproteins in which an
- 20:07Speaker 10: atom of gold or the rarest element gadolinium is placed,
- 20:11Speaker 10: these atoms are preferentially absorbed or these molecules are preferentially
- 20:16Speaker 10: absorbed by cancer cells. Now, the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in
- 20:20Speaker 10: the US has been involved in nuclear fusion. They've been
- 20:23Speaker 10: involved in creating new salts of lasers, and it's this
- 20:27Speaker 10: technology which has created lasers to create X rays which
- 20:31Speaker 10: are one wavelength and extremely energetic. So the way this
- 20:35Speaker 10: works is rather than using drugs to help cancer, physics
- 20:39Speaker 10: is being used so that the human body gets bombarded
- 20:42Speaker 10: for less than a million of the second.
- 20:44Speaker 5: This is between heartbeats.
- 20:46Speaker 10: It's bombarded, the gold or the gadolinium sheds low energy electrons.
- 20:51Speaker 10: These move out and kill off the DNA in a
- 20:53Speaker 10: cancer cell, and they don't go far enough to kill
- 20:56Speaker 10: off healthy cells. So this is really disrupting new technology
- 21:00Speaker 10: looking at physics to attack and kill cancer cells rather
- 21:04Speaker 10: than drugs. Now, a spin off of this is that
- 21:07Speaker 10: you can use these high energy X rays to analyze
- 21:12Speaker 10: or that's coming up a conveyor belt and look at
- 21:14Speaker 10: the chemistry of this or and say, no, this is
- 21:17Speaker 10: not high enough grade. This is waist rock, or this
- 21:20Speaker 10: is high grade ore, and so you can separate out
- 21:24Speaker 10: what is wasiste rock from what is aw on a
- 21:27Speaker 10: conveyor belt, and so what you put through the processing
- 21:30Speaker 10: plant is lower tonnage and it's also higher grade. So
- 21:35Speaker 10: this is a twofold process. We're incredibly excited by it.
- 21:39Speaker 10: I'm excited by the fact that there is a new
- 21:42Speaker 10: process that might actually help killing off cancers, not only
- 21:46Speaker 10: curing it, just totally killing them off. And I've put
- 21:49Speaker 10: up my hand to be the first patient. I might
- 21:52Speaker 10: end up as a steaming, massive charcoal. I might end
- 21:55Speaker 10: up having my cancer kill it. But we're awaiting FDA
- 22:00Speaker 10: approval on this. This is a long process. It could
- 22:03Speaker 10: take another six months or a year. So with many
- 22:06Speaker 10: of these new advances in cancer, they are in medicine,
- 22:10Speaker 10: they are in drugs. This one's in physics, and this
- 22:12Speaker 10: is well known, tried and proven physics. And we are
- 22:15Speaker 10: incredibly excited by this, and this with missus Einheart would
- 22:19Speaker 10: be her legacy, one.
- 22:21Speaker 5: Of her legacies she leaves to the Australian people.
- 22:26Speaker 3: Professor Ian Plyman, thank you so much for your time tonight.
- 22:29Speaker 5: Thank you.
- 22:30Speaker 3: Steve Karma Left is Losing It. Plus all the latest
- 22:33Speaker 3: from the US, including the surprise replacement for late Senator
- 22:37Speaker 3: Lindsey Graham. Kosher Gator is up next, Welcome back. It's
- 22:52Speaker 3: time for Left is losing it and the feral, hateful
- 22:56Speaker 3: Left continue to celebrate the depths of Conservatives. Watch the
- 23:00Speaker 3: joy in this mad banshee's eyes as she talks about
- 23:03Speaker 3: the passing of Senator Lindsay Graham.
- 23:05Speaker 11: I woke up this.
- 23:06Speaker 12: Morning and found out Lindsay Graham is dead. Mitch McConnell
- 23:11Speaker 12: is dead. There's two more that needs to go, if
- 23:16Speaker 12: you know what I'm saying. But what a wonderful morning.
- 23:21Speaker 12: Praise be Allah.
- 23:23Speaker 7: Praise be Allah.
- 23:24Speaker 3: Really, and Mitch McConnell isn't dead now. This next dude
- 23:29Speaker 3: seems to think celebrating the death of a mild mannered
- 23:32Speaker 3: senator from South Carolina is actually a display of empathy.
- 23:36Speaker 2: We all agree it was bad. We all agree it
- 23:41Speaker 2: was good when Adolph Hitler died, which implies a scale
- 23:45Speaker 2: of bad from zero to Hitler. Lindsey Graham was a
- 23:49Speaker 2: little too far up at.
- 23:51Speaker 5: For my liking.
- 23:53Speaker 2: And that's why it's funny to say I'm glad he's dead.
- 23:57Speaker 2: My humor over Lindsey Graham's death comes from a place
- 24:02Speaker 2: of empathy.
- 24:03Speaker 3: Of course they resort to Hitler analogies. They really are
- 24:07Speaker 3: that dumb and divorced from reality. Now to possibly the
- 24:11Speaker 3: most irritating clip that I'll play you all week, and
- 24:14Speaker 3: apologies in advance. Let's hear from Elon Musk's confused son
- 24:19Speaker 3: who identifies as a woman. If Vivin Wilson is a woman,
- 24:23Speaker 3: then she's the most annoying woman in the world. Here
- 24:26Speaker 3: is forty seconds of pure hell.
- 24:29Speaker 13: How to talk to you about a very important issue.
- 24:32Speaker 13: We need more gays in government. We need more gay people.
- 24:37Speaker 13: We need them. We need more gay people. And no,
- 24:40Speaker 13: not for any admiraal reason like wanting a quality or representation,
- 24:45Speaker 13: or maybe to do something about the furtherning wealth divide. No,
- 24:48Speaker 13: none of that. The reason we need more gay people
- 24:51Speaker 13: is because everybody's jo.
- 25:00Speaker 3: I'm think on it.
- 25:03Speaker 5: Thank you.
- 25:05Speaker 13: Let me lay out the problem. Our country's image on
- 25:08Speaker 13: the world stage is our disgrace.
- 25:10Speaker 7: Oh dear God.
- 25:11Speaker 3: Now let's have a look at the state of modern policing,
- 25:15Speaker 3: starting in the UK with this officer can't answer a
- 25:18Speaker 3: simple question.
- 25:19Speaker 7: A five year old could answer without hesitation.
- 25:23Speaker 9: This is grim.
- 25:24Speaker 5: The mum get pregnant, medical doctor made No.
- 25:26Speaker 10: I'm asking you a question, can a mom get pregnant?
- 25:29Speaker 14: If you don't know that one?
- 25:30Speaker 5: Not medical experts, you don't know the answer.
- 25:34Speaker 15: To that one.
- 25:36Speaker 5: Of course, I two one hundred percent, as if a
- 25:38Speaker 5: mom can get pregnant?
- 25:39Speaker 6: Do you think I'm an idiotification medical listening to yourself?
- 25:44Speaker 13: Now?
- 25:45Speaker 3: This next clip is a classic, and understandably it goes
- 25:49Speaker 3: viral semi regularly.
- 25:51Speaker 7: This is Canada.
- 25:52Speaker 2: I was contacted by the Crown at the Anterior Port
- 25:56Speaker 2: of Justice to assist with the case that they had,
- 25:58Speaker 2: or they asked me to reach out to them and
- 26:00Speaker 2: make sure she's safe and take her home.
- 26:02Speaker 15: He drove me home in the fabulous Pride sub and
- 26:06Speaker 15: as he was driving me home, we reached the stop
- 26:08Speaker 15: lights and then an individual and a pickup truck came
- 26:13Speaker 15: up to us a.
- 26:14Speaker 5: Transgender cop card.
- 26:17Speaker 13: Look at that?
- 26:23Speaker 5: Are you guys cops or you just identify as cops?
- 26:27Speaker 11: How do you do next?
- 26:29Speaker 2: That's none of your business and I'm hands free, so
- 26:32Speaker 2: there's nothing you can do.
- 26:33Speaker 15: I'm just asking you a question, sergeant, you cops or
- 26:35Speaker 15: you identify as cops?
- 26:38Speaker 9: I have no idea that reality doesn't exist anymore.
- 26:40Speaker 15: Right Part of me was shocked, but part of me
- 26:44Speaker 15: was not shocked.
- 26:45Speaker 3: I am a trans woman and another one from Canada.
- 26:49Speaker 3: The snow Mexicans have really lost the plot. Okay, this
- 26:59Speaker 3: is not easy. I've never done this before. I don't
- 27:01Speaker 3: wear shoes like this. Dude, There's a lot of better
- 27:04Speaker 3: ways to raise money than whatever that was now staying
- 27:08Speaker 3: in Canada. Let's see what the man who demoralized the country,
- 27:12Speaker 3: made a mockery of free speech, and even d banked
- 27:15Speaker 3: citizens for peacefully protesting against his insane COVID lockdowns. Let's
- 27:20Speaker 3: see what Justin Trudeau is up to these days. Yes,
- 27:35Speaker 3: these days is Katie Perry's handbag following her around at
- 27:39Speaker 3: music festivals and sporting events, dressed often like a teenager
- 27:43Speaker 3: and now appearing in music videos as.
- 27:46Speaker 7: A backup dancer.
- 27:49Speaker 3: Now to former US Versus Lady Michelle Obama celebrating black
- 27:54Speaker 3: women at the Essence Festival, and who better to promote
- 27:58Speaker 3: at such an event than cut b Yes, the former
- 28:01Speaker 3: stripper turned rapper did what she does best. Let's bring
- 28:15Speaker 3: in Sky News contributor Kosher Gator. Kosher, we have some
- 28:19Speaker 3: serious issues that discussed Tony, but let's start with that.
- 28:24Speaker 3: Whatever that was former First Lady Michelle Obama. Why would
- 28:28Speaker 3: she want to be associated with that. She seems a
- 28:32Speaker 3: little lost at the moment. She's got a sad little
- 28:35Speaker 3: podcast and doing interviews, playing the victim continuously.
- 28:41Speaker 16: Yes, And it's a little bit inexplicable reader, because she
- 28:44Speaker 16: left really at a highmark when the Obama's left office.
- 28:47Speaker 16: Her memoir was one of the highest selling memoirs of
- 28:50Speaker 16: all time. I think it was the highest selling first
- 28:52Speaker 16: leading memoir of all time, more than Hillary Clinton, Nancy Reagan, anybody.
- 28:56Speaker 16: And I think maintaining a little bit of a mystique
- 28:58Speaker 16: coming out on the campaign trail but not too much
- 29:01Speaker 16: worked in her. Fever, the more she's coming out and
- 29:04Speaker 16: doing these kinds of events and podcasts and all that,
- 29:06Speaker 16: and the more we hear from her, her popularity just
- 29:09Speaker 16: only goes down in one direction. And I can't quite
- 29:12Speaker 16: figure out why she's doing that, because as the first leader,
- 29:14Speaker 16: you can sort of stay above the free but she is.
- 29:17Speaker 16: And I think it was unfortunate in that Cardi B
- 29:18Speaker 16: segment because she actually looked quite good. Michelle Obama credit
- 29:21Speaker 16: where it's due over there. When she came out, she
- 29:23Speaker 16: was styled quite well and then you see where that
- 29:26Speaker 16: went with Cardi b and the kinds of things she
- 29:28Speaker 16: done in vulgar and I think that took a little
- 29:30Speaker 16: bit of the shine away from what could have been
- 29:32Speaker 16: a better moment.
- 29:34Speaker 3: Now, let's stick with the culture. The importance of the
- 29:38Speaker 3: so called culture wars and is often the case with
- 29:42Speaker 3: the radical left, so much of what they do starts
- 29:45Speaker 3: in universities.
- 29:46Speaker 7: A new study by the Foundation.
- 29:48Speaker 3: For Individual Rights and Expression FAST found that politically active
- 29:53Speaker 3: faculty are largely confined to a narrow band of hard
- 29:57Speaker 3: left ie geologues with virtually no conservative counterbalance. Kosher. This
- 30:03Speaker 3: didn't happen overnight, and the impact is profound. These radical
- 30:08Speaker 3: ideas are no longer confined to universities that everywhere in
- 30:13Speaker 3: the culture, from the celebrity world to the public sector
- 30:17Speaker 3: to big corporations.
- 30:19Speaker 16: These days, it is such a tough thing to fight
- 30:23Speaker 16: back against because of that is so entrenched in all
- 30:26Speaker 16: these institutions. But universities really is the worst of the lot,
- 30:30Speaker 16: because it's they have captured a captive audience of young minds.
- 30:34Speaker 16: And you know that saying if you control today's classrooms,
- 30:36Speaker 16: you control tomorrow's government. There is truth to that because
- 30:39Speaker 16: that's where these radical ideas are seated, and then they
- 30:42Speaker 16: blossom and grow, and then those people are in charge
- 30:45Speaker 16: leader across these many institutions. And also you add to
- 30:49Speaker 16: that salt to the wound. The university sector is largely
- 30:52Speaker 16: taxpayer funded, including the very large private universities in the US,
- 30:56Speaker 16: and they have their private endowments, but they do get
- 30:58Speaker 16: lots of beneficial treatment from the government in terms of
- 31:01Speaker 16: tax exemptions maybe and even some federal grants for various things.
- 31:05Speaker 16: And then on top of that, this kind of thing
- 31:07Speaker 16: comes out of that, and nobody from the right has
- 31:10Speaker 16: ever taken that on. They just get richer and richer
- 31:13Speaker 16: the universities on top of that, even though the product
- 31:16Speaker 16: is becoming less and less relevant. A lot of the
- 31:18Speaker 16: degrees people get don't really lead to anything in terms
- 31:20Speaker 16: of market value. We know that. But they are a
- 31:23Speaker 16: very entrenched sector of society. And this is a deep
- 31:28Speaker 16: rooted problem that somebody has to figure out how and
- 31:32Speaker 16: have the will, the political will to uproot.
- 31:34Speaker 3: And unfortunately we have not seen that yet, No, not
- 31:37Speaker 3: even close.
- 31:39Speaker 4: Now.
- 31:39Speaker 3: In news that should shock nobody, New York's share of
- 31:42Speaker 3: US millionaires has declined dramatically in recent years, causing a
- 31:48Speaker 3: nearly eleven billion dollar loss in tax revenue in just
- 31:52Speaker 3: one year. This is a report in the New York
- 31:55Speaker 3: Post Kosha. With me and Man Danny now running the
- 31:58Speaker 3: city and he's man tries all about taxing the rich,
- 32:03Speaker 3: we can expect to see this trend intensify further.
- 32:07Speaker 16: He's certainly not shy about that. It is interesting because
- 32:10Speaker 16: he does not set tax policy the mayor other than
- 32:13Speaker 16: property taxes, which he has threatened to raise hi as
- 32:16Speaker 16: nine point five percent. He doesn't actually have the power
- 32:20Speaker 16: to do that. It has to run through all beneath
- 32:21Speaker 16: with the state legislature in New York. And Kathy Hokel,
- 32:24Speaker 16: the governor, who is also extremely of the left, very
- 32:27Speaker 16: interestingly understands this problem and she has not backed what
- 32:31Speaker 16: Mam Dan is saying. She tries to publicly align with
- 32:34Speaker 16: him because he is very popular, but then in terms
- 32:36Speaker 16: of how she governs, she's actually trying to hold that
- 32:38Speaker 16: back and hasn't supported.
- 32:39Speaker 3: These policies because of this issue.
- 32:41Speaker 16: And ultimately it's very precarious because New York City greatest
- 32:44Speaker 16: city on earth in my opinion, but it is very
- 32:47Speaker 16: very lopsided because most of the tax revenue is coming
- 32:51Speaker 16: from the top one percent. Something like forty five percent
- 32:53Speaker 16: of the tax is covered by the top one percent,
- 32:55Speaker 16: and that mathematically is very precarious because if even a
- 32:58Speaker 16: small fraction of them as they are, the holding collapses
- 33:02Speaker 16: and they can't tax their way into prosperity. Because more
- 33:05Speaker 16: and more people are moving to Florida and Texas and
- 33:07Speaker 16: they will continue to do so.
- 33:10Speaker 3: Well, I was just there in recent days, and I
- 33:12Speaker 3: can tell you when it comes to property, and as
- 33:15Speaker 3: you said, Mayor ma'am, Danny has some say in what
- 33:19Speaker 3: their property taxes are going to be there, and he
- 33:21Speaker 3: has threatened to increase them further. They are having all
- 33:25Speaker 3: sorts of troubles selling property, even in the most sought
- 33:28Speaker 3: after pockets of Manhattan. It's becoming difficult to sell without
- 33:34Speaker 3: making a loss at the moment. Anyway, that was what
- 33:37Speaker 3: I was hearing around New York. Now, let's talk about
- 33:41Speaker 3: the Iranian conflict. The US has launched more strikes against
- 33:45Speaker 3: Iran at President Trump's direction, and the President has warned
- 33:48Speaker 3: there was more to come, that the US has lost
- 33:52Speaker 3: its patients with the regime.
- 33:54Speaker 8: Well, I think it's going very fast. We've demolished their
- 33:57Speaker 8: military we're heading them very hard.
- 34:00Speaker 5: We had a deal.
- 34:00Speaker 8: Yesterday or the day before yesterday. It was all done,
- 34:03Speaker 8: and then they broke up that deal immediately because they
- 34:06Speaker 8: found out there was something in the deal they didn't like.
- 34:08Speaker 8: And they're wired differently, and we're not going to put
- 34:11Speaker 8: up with it. We are just going forward. We're attacking
- 34:15Speaker 8: them tonight. We're taking on all of their capability for
- 34:19Speaker 8: anything having to do with the straight, with the hormone straight.
- 34:22Speaker 8: And I think in the end we will end up
- 34:26Speaker 8: discontrolling the whole thing. And what they're doing is being
- 34:29Speaker 8: very foolish, very stupid, and they've treated people horribly. They've
- 34:32Speaker 8: killed fifty two thousand protesters so far that we can determine.
- 34:37Speaker 8: It might be more than that, but fifty two thousand
- 34:39Speaker 8: protesters have been killed, and it's really terrible situation.
- 34:45Speaker 3: And the President had some words for the media too.
- 34:50Speaker 8: They don't have any military, there's not a thing they
- 34:52Speaker 8: can do about it.
- 34:54Speaker 5: All they have is fake news.
- 34:55Speaker 8: Because they have the fake news, would rather see us
- 34:58Speaker 8: lose the war the world which is really creasing us,
- 35:02Speaker 8: which is really created to us.
- 35:03Speaker 3: In a second way, Kosha, how far away are we
- 35:08Speaker 3: from the end of this conflict. Obviously, President Trump will
- 35:12Speaker 3: be eager to wrap it up as soon as possible
- 35:15Speaker 3: so it doesn't have an impact on the midterms. But
- 35:19Speaker 3: the Iranian regime just keeps coming back. Every time they
- 35:23Speaker 3: inter re deal. They seem to break the rules in
- 35:27Speaker 3: record time.
- 35:29Speaker 16: It feels hard to see how this can quote unquote
- 35:32Speaker 16: be wrapped up with any sort of concrete finality in
- 35:35Speaker 16: the short term. But that is undoubtedly with President Trump
- 35:38Speaker 16: wants because of the midterms, as you say, and just
- 35:40Speaker 16: in general, this was not popular to begin with, and
- 35:42Speaker 16: the more and more drags on his popularity around this
- 35:45Speaker 16: issue continues to go down because people don't want to
- 35:48Speaker 16: be in this Scribemira, this word that has become sort
- 35:51Speaker 16: of a dirty word in US foreign policy now because
- 35:53Speaker 16: of what's happened in the Middle East over the last
- 35:55Speaker 16: twenty years. So he's well aware of that. He needs
- 35:57Speaker 16: a clean off ramp, and it is it's tough to
- 36:00Speaker 16: do that because of as you mentioned, everything that Tehran
- 36:03Speaker 16: will do. And sure the US military everything he said
- 36:05Speaker 16: there is truth. The US military is second to none.
- 36:08Speaker 16: It can hit them hard, it can do that. It
- 36:10Speaker 16: already has sunk their navy, Like we know all of that,
- 36:13Speaker 16: but they do. Iran does have a few very powerful
- 36:16Speaker 16: cards to play still with the straight clear, and time
- 36:20Speaker 16: is on their side because every day that the clock
- 36:22Speaker 16: ticks on, the pressure on President Trump domestically only increases.
- 36:26Speaker 5: They're aware of that.
- 36:27Speaker 16: So it's a little bit of a waiting game, and
- 36:29Speaker 16: their ability to stretch this out helps Tehran as well.
- 36:33Speaker 16: So I think this whole mess will continue, maybe it'll
- 36:36Speaker 16: be sort of contained and another fragile short term cease fire.
- 36:40Speaker 16: Those types of things will come again and again be violated,
- 36:43Speaker 16: and as long as the escalation remains contained, it's okay.
- 36:46Speaker 16: If that escalation ever goes somewhere worse, where a US
- 36:50Speaker 16: base is attacked, more servicemen lose their lives, that will
- 36:53Speaker 16: then create a premise for President Trump to go harder
- 36:56Speaker 16: and then we.
- 36:56Speaker 9: Just get sucked in more.
- 36:57Speaker 16: So, hopefully that doesn't happen. But things are very very daisy.
- 37:02Speaker 3: Very dicey. Indeed, that is not a regime who you
- 37:07Speaker 3: can trust to stick to a deal, And it's a
- 37:09Speaker 3: fractured regime, and you can have one faction signing up
- 37:14Speaker 3: and agreeing to stick by a set of rules, and
- 37:18Speaker 3: another faction will break those rules. Almost immediately, So this
- 37:23Speaker 3: is going to I think be an ongoing problem for
- 37:26Speaker 3: the Trump administration. Now, we spoke at length last night
- 37:30Speaker 3: about the shock passing of Senator Lindsay Graham, who was
- 37:33Speaker 3: seeking another term at the midterms. In a move that
- 37:36Speaker 3: has surprised many, the late senator's sister, Darlene Graham Norden,
- 37:41Speaker 3: is going to be filling in for him on an
- 37:43Speaker 3: intram basis Kosher. This is unusual, but it's something that
- 37:49Speaker 3: President Trump has backed, and she's going to be serving
- 37:54Speaker 3: in a caretaker role.
- 37:56Speaker 16: It is unusual, and not many people knew much about her.
- 38:00Speaker 16: Campaigned with Lindsay Graham in the past, but as his
- 38:03Speaker 16: life story came out into the media in the last
- 38:06Speaker 16: forty eight hours, a lot of people learned of their
- 38:09Speaker 16: backstory where they were orphaned at a pretty young age
- 38:12Speaker 16: because both the grandparents died when he was in his
- 38:16Speaker 16: early twenties and she was I think eighteen, and the
- 38:19Speaker 16: foster system would have taken her over because she was
- 38:22Speaker 16: a miner who had been orphaned, and he applied to
- 38:25Speaker 16: become her legal guardian and that saved her from being
- 38:27Speaker 16: into the foster system. So they have this very close bond.
- 38:29Speaker 16: I think this is a symbolic gesture where she will
- 38:32Speaker 16: be a sitting United States Senator for about a month
- 38:34Speaker 16: until August eleventh, where there will be this open primary
- 38:37Speaker 16: and it is a free for all right now, where
- 38:39Speaker 16: every name you can think of in South Carolina is
- 38:41Speaker 16: probably going to throw their hat in the ring to
- 38:44Speaker 16: do that contested primary, and then the winner from that
- 38:46Speaker 16: primary will go on into the general in November, which
- 38:49Speaker 16: Lindsay gram would have obviously been on the ballot for otherwise.
- 38:52Speaker 16: So it seems like a short term thing, and it'll
- 38:54Speaker 16: be interesting if any big legislation of note, like the
- 38:57Speaker 16: Save Act or something else comes to her dusk in
- 39:00Speaker 16: the month from now to August eleventh and what she
- 39:03Speaker 16: will do. But I think otherwise everybody's sort of looking
- 39:06Speaker 16: at this as a tribute to Lindsay Graham rather than
- 39:09Speaker 16: her playing any rule legislatively.
- 39:12Speaker 3: Absolutely, now before you go, today is the two year
- 39:16Speaker 3: anniversary of the assassination attempt against Donald Trump at Butler, Pennsylvania.
- 39:22Speaker 3: A miraculous story that while he literally in the last
- 39:27Speaker 3: millisecond turned his head and that bullet hit his ear
- 39:32Speaker 3: instead of going through and killing him, the world would
- 39:39Speaker 3: be a very different place America would be a very
- 39:41Speaker 3: different place today, Kosher if that assassination attempt was successful.
- 39:47Speaker 16: One we like to say it's the millimeter that changed
- 39:51Speaker 16: the course of history. Absolutely, the entire war looked different.
- 39:55Speaker 16: It would have been Kama Harris and everything that would
- 39:58Speaker 16: have come downstream from that, and it was just which
- 40:01Speaker 16: is really something and it's hard to believe two years
- 40:03Speaker 16: have passed.
- 40:05Speaker 3: It is it's astonishing. We've had other assassination attempts since then,
- 40:10Speaker 3: but that one shocked the world. And also the president's reaction,
- 40:17Speaker 3: the way that he stood up when he still didn't
- 40:20Speaker 3: know if the danger was gone and said fight, fight,
- 40:24Speaker 3: And I think that galvanized his voter base behind him
- 40:28Speaker 3: and he was never going to lose from that point on.
- 40:31Speaker 3: Kosha Gata, thank you so much for your time. Tonight,
- 40:34Speaker 3: Coming up, Supergirl becomes one of the biggest box office
- 40:38Speaker 3: bombs in cinematic history. Michael Loftus has the details Welcome
- 40:53Speaker 3: Back Now. The woke Supergirl film is said to become
- 40:57Speaker 3: one of the biggest box office bombs in history. It's
- 41:01Speaker 3: on track to become the worst earning DC movie since
- 41:05Speaker 3: two thousand and four's disastrous Catwoman. Maybe do better, if
- 41:09Speaker 3: the star leaned more heavily into leftism and talking endlessly
- 41:14Speaker 3: about gender binaries and queerness.
- 41:17Speaker 14: I have many queer friends, so honestly, I'm kind of honored.
- 41:21Speaker 14: I'm on it that that's happening. But I think because
- 41:25Speaker 14: she doesn't live inside the binary of what we think
- 41:28Speaker 14: a woman should be, that that is what makes her
- 41:32Speaker 14: so special and so exciting and so new.
- 41:35Speaker 3: Joining me now is writer and comedian Michael Loftus. Michael,
- 41:39Speaker 3: this film is on track to lose over two hundred
- 41:43Speaker 3: and forty million dollars. That is an enormous amount.
- 41:48Speaker 7: As they say, go work, go broke.
- 41:52Speaker 11: Yeah, and it's happening over and over and over again.
- 41:56Speaker 11: I'm starting to think that maybe they're running an insurance scam.
- 42:00Speaker 11: This is a lot like like when the Mafia burns
- 42:03Speaker 11: down its own restaurants so they can claim the loss.
- 42:06Speaker 11: Like for who gave the green light to this movie?
- 42:10Speaker 11: Who in Hollywood? Was like, you know what audiences want?
- 42:13Speaker 11: They want a woke girl boss. Look at how well
- 42:17Speaker 11: snow White did. Look at how well they're doing with
- 42:20Speaker 11: Star Wars, Look how great Marvels do. Nobody wants to
- 42:23Speaker 11: see this. They're making movies for an audience that does
- 42:27Speaker 11: not exist. This is like gross negligence that they even
- 42:32Speaker 11: green lit this movie and then to put poor Millie
- 42:35Speaker 11: Alcock out there on the red carpet during Pride Month
- 42:40Speaker 11: and no one gave her any talking points, no one said, hey,
- 42:43Speaker 11: try to steer the conversation this way. I'm starting to
- 42:48Speaker 11: think they're just doing this for the insurance money.
- 42:52Speaker 7: Well, yeah, it does look deliberate because it's just so bad.
- 42:56Speaker 3: It's like, how did this film go through so many
- 42:59Speaker 3: different peace people who grin lit this lameness, and that's
- 43:03Speaker 3: at the end of the day, it's lame. No one
- 43:05Speaker 3: wants to see it because it's not entertaining.
- 43:09Speaker 7: And talking about lame.
- 43:10Speaker 3: The ladies of the View more particularly Sonny Houston. Her
- 43:16Speaker 3: son Gabrielle, has been hit with a trespassing violation in
- 43:20Speaker 3: New York City, and Page six is reporting that Sonny
- 43:24Speaker 3: asked the officers if they knew who she was before
- 43:27Speaker 3: name dropping the view. Michael, I am predicting here. I'm
- 43:32Speaker 3: very confident that Sonny will turn this into some sort of.
- 43:36Speaker 7: A racist issue. She is obsessed by race.
- 43:41Speaker 11: Oh yeah, that's common. It's gonna be an avalanche, Like,
- 43:45Speaker 11: how dare you how dare you go after my son
- 43:50Speaker 11: who was in an area that was clearly marked no trespat?
- 43:53Speaker 11: How dare you? I'll tell you what as soon as
- 43:56Speaker 11: as soon as she says, do you.
- 43:58Speaker 5: Know who I am?
- 43:59Speaker 11: I'm from the view. If I'm that cop, I'm quite
- 44:02Speaker 11: drupling the fine, I'm like, Okay, now you've really.
- 44:07Speaker 7: At least she could do. Yeah, it's the least.
- 44:13Speaker 5: That's his mom is his lawyer.
- 44:16Speaker 11: That's the nightmare. Man. Your mom's not cool, and now
- 44:20Speaker 11: you've got to go to court with your mom and
- 44:22Speaker 11: she's like, shut up your honor as a black woman
- 44:25Speaker 11: in Oh, it's it's horrible.
- 44:29Speaker 7: Oh my gosh.
- 44:30Speaker 3: She is I think really she makes the other ladies
- 44:32Speaker 3: of the View seem saying in relation to her, she
- 44:36Speaker 3: is out there. She is so obsessed with races, everything
- 44:40Speaker 3: through the filter filter of race. Was even saying last
- 44:43Speaker 3: week that she was triggered by American flags. She's so
- 44:48Speaker 3: associated American flags with white supremacy. I mean, she is nuts.
- 44:53Speaker 7: Now the persecution.
- 44:54Speaker 11: Your son was running from an American flag and somehow
- 44:58Speaker 11: Donald Trump was way it and it just it just
- 45:01Speaker 11: goes downhill from there.
- 45:05Speaker 3: She will find a way to blame this on Donald Trump.
- 45:08Speaker 3: I have no doubt about that she will find a
- 45:10Speaker 3: way to make this Donald Trump's fault.
- 45:13Speaker 7: Let's talk about the WNBA.
- 45:15Speaker 3: Words I don't say too often on this program, but
- 45:18Speaker 3: their biggest star, Caitlin Clark, who has the audacity to
- 45:22Speaker 3: be white and straight in that league, well, she continues
- 45:25Speaker 3: to be attacked.
- 45:26Speaker 1: This time.
- 45:27Speaker 3: Former NFL player Emanuel Archo, who I've never heard of
- 45:32Speaker 3: his mounted a rather absurd argument that the league, the WNBA,
- 45:36Speaker 3: would be better off without the Indiana fever superstar.
- 45:41Speaker 15: The w at this junction in time, would be better
- 45:43Speaker 15: without Caitlin Clark because she is a bigger distraction than
- 45:46Speaker 15: she is an additive.
- 45:48Speaker 5: Caitlin got the necessary.
- 45:50Speaker 11: Eyes there, but now that the eyes are there, we
- 45:53Speaker 11: don't necessarily need her anymore.
- 45:56Speaker 3: Michael. Even with Caitlin Clark, the WNBA loses money every year.
- 46:02Speaker 3: And yet despite all the attention she's brought them, all
- 46:05Speaker 3: the sponsors, all the funding, they hate her.
- 46:11Speaker 11: Yeah, because she's she's a constant reminder that you're really
- 46:15Speaker 11: not good at the thing you thought you were good at. Right,
- 46:18Speaker 11: Like these girls they get together and they play this
- 46:20Speaker 11: game and they're like, oh, we're the best, and then
- 46:23Speaker 11: Caitlin Clark shows up and just laps them, just laps them.
- 46:27Speaker 5: So that's like a constant.
- 46:28Speaker 11: That's like someone going into your job and just like
- 46:31Speaker 11: you know, every time you're trying to type, they just
- 46:33Speaker 11: type better than the whole thing is annoying, Like the WNBA,
- 46:37Speaker 11: they should be happy they're making any money at all.
- 46:40Speaker 11: I'm telling you could put a video camera up over
- 46:43Speaker 11: a women's prison workout yard and you'd probably get better ratings.
- 46:49Speaker 11: And I'm still public trying yet over what this this
- 46:52Speaker 11: guy at you? Emmanuel Achu, I don't know. He's named
- 46:56Speaker 11: after a sneeze he said at this juncture in time.
- 47:00Speaker 11: I don't even know does time have a juncture? And please,
- 47:03Speaker 11: you're not going to convince us that you're smarter by
- 47:06Speaker 11: talking with your hands. Gavin Newsom tries it in California
- 47:10Speaker 11: and it doesn't work for him either.
- 47:14Speaker 3: No, you only you have to be ethnic minority or
- 47:17Speaker 3: a comedian to be doing that. Otherwise put your hands away.
- 47:20Speaker 3: I guess he's could argue he's an ethnic minority, couldn't he?
- 47:23Speaker 3: But that argument just was so insane to to suggest
- 47:29Speaker 3: remove the biggest star, the biggest draw card from the
- 47:32Speaker 3: league and somehow the league will be more marketable. Okay, whatever,
- 47:36Speaker 3: now sticking with the WNBA. More words, I never say
- 47:40Speaker 3: on this program. The Caitlin's teammate in Indiana, Sophie Cunningham.
- 47:46Speaker 3: She's making headlines after she was called on to be
- 47:49Speaker 3: a ring girl at UFC three two nine, And let's
- 47:54Speaker 3: hear it from UFC CEO Dana White explaining how that
- 47:57Speaker 3: all came about. Why when did you hire her?
- 48:02Speaker 5: About eight minutes before she did it. I love Sophie Cunningham.
- 48:07Speaker 11: We've created a relationship and she was here tonight and
- 48:10Speaker 11: when she walked in she goes, oh, I want to
- 48:11Speaker 11: walk around that.
- 48:12Speaker 5: Uh, I said, then you're going to walk around.
- 48:14Speaker 3: It, Michael. This comes after her viral moment, the famous
- 48:20Speaker 3: pointing incident that became a meme overnight. Again, she's another
- 48:26Speaker 3: one who seems to be bringing a great deal of
- 48:29Speaker 3: attention to the league and they don't like her for it.
- 48:32Speaker 3: Instead of having some appreciation, they I don't know, they
- 48:36Speaker 3: resent her for the for the attention she's getting.
- 48:40Speaker 11: They really do, and she's just having a great time.
- 48:44Speaker 11: She and Caitlin Clark could really they can televise themselves
- 48:48Speaker 11: doing crossword puzzles and get better ready.
- 48:52Speaker 3: Than the w NBA.
- 48:54Speaker 11: But Sophie Cunning, she's the pointing thing was fantastic and
- 48:59Speaker 11: I love the Dean was like, oh, you want to
- 49:01Speaker 11: walk around, we'll hold up this number, and she totally
- 49:03Speaker 11: went for it.
- 49:04Speaker 16: Like she's the kind of girl you.
- 49:06Speaker 11: Want her at your party, you want her to have
- 49:08Speaker 11: your back. She's like your sister. She's a good time.
- 49:11Speaker 11: And you saw she was doing the point. She's aware
- 49:13Speaker 11: of the moment at this juncture in time, she knew
- 49:17Speaker 11: where she was.
- 49:18Speaker 5: It did the thing.
- 49:20Speaker 3: She understood the moment, the juncture and the moment. She's
- 49:25Speaker 3: across it all. And really she became the highlight of
- 49:29Speaker 3: that whole UFC because the whole Connor McGregor thing was
- 49:32Speaker 3: such an anticlimactic mess. So it became Sophie's show. Michael offtics,
- 49:38Speaker 3: it's always a pleasure. Thank you so much for your time,
- 49:41Speaker 3: and that's all the time we have. Don't go anywhere.
- 49:44Speaker 3: New's Night is up next
