  Speaker 1: On scoring lids Australia. This is the Reader Panalty Show.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Riata Patty Show. Coming
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: up tonight, shock polls show Australia's political landscape is changing
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: dramatically in some states. The panel will take a deep
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: dive into the data soon. Victorian Libertarian MP David Limbrick
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: has called out the AFL's relationship with the Labor government.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: He'll join me in the studio shortly. The Great Josh
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Hammer will have the latest from the US, including his
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: take on President Trump's robust retrick which has enraged all
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: the usual suspects. And later in the hour, Dedie dun
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Levy joins me for royal and entertainment news, including Meghan
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Markle's woes down Under and we never neglect Lefty is
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: losing it. Tonight we feature CNN telling their lefty audience
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: some sobering news.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Has fallen out.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: The bottom has fallen out manus four points. That is
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Democrats Democrats' own net approval of their own congressional leaders.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Even Democrats don't like their own leaders.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: That's first to a shock poll revealing that one nation
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: has overtaken both Labour and the Liberal National Party in Queensland.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: The Kouria Mara reports newspoll analysis has One Nation having
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: the largest primary vote in Queensland at thirty percent compared
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: to Labour on twenty seven and twenty three percent for
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: the Liberal National Party. The polling conducted between January and
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: March this year, also revealed that in New South Wales,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Labour's primary vote has created from thirty seven percent to
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: thirty one and in Victoria it fell from thirty five
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: to thirty two percent. Meanwhile, One Nation nearly doubled its
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: support in both states, surging to twenty seven percent in
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: New South Wales and twenty one percent in Victoria. And
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: according to that newspol Anao, one of the key driving
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: factors behind One Nation's rise in the polls is young people,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: with support for the party among voters aged eighteen to
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: thirty four more than doubling since December. Let's bring in
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: the panel Sky News contributor Lawis Roberts and former Labor
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: MP Michael danby Looy's any surprises in that data.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: I think we were aware, of course the millennials were
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: drifting towards One Nation, but it is still quite staggering
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: to see that spike in young support. But I think overall,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: for me, what I've really felt while looking at this
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: data is a real upending about assumptions on voters that
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: previously it was who you were, which sort of dictated
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: all the assumption about who you voted for, whereas now
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: is what's your issue. It's sort of the issue that's
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: affecting you personally. You won't be aligned with the particular
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: party anymore. And that's a real generational change, I think,
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: particularly perhaps around women. They always thought women would vote
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: you know, maybe labor and Greens. They thought traders would
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: vote for the coalition. I thought migrant workers would you know,
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: immigrants would vote labor. And I think all those things
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: are being really torn apart in the way that one
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: nation has esteemed in there. But of course will they
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: translate at the battle box, where we're still yet to see,
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: and of course Fara will be the great decider to
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: start with on that. But yeah, really interesting sort of
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: demographical change about how we identify as voters, and perhaps
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: some of the assumptions that parties and strategists have made
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: they really have to look very hard at the issues
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: they're advocating for.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Michael on the by election. What do you see happening there?
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: What is going to be an acceptable result for the coalition?
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: The coalitions in a very difficult place. One nation is surging,
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: as the polling you just showed because of immigration, and.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I think the.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: Teal candidate will get preferences from the independence so it's
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: very hard for them to win. I'm not sure One
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: nation voters are South Australia and their historical record will
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: preference the Liberals if they pull behind them. So it's
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: very complicated, but I'd like to see the pattern of
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: one nation preferences being higher than sixty five percent if
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: it's going to count nationally as a general swing to
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: the Conservatives.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: I think we're going to eventually see some sort of
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: a coalition, whether it's just a preference still, because surely
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: if these figures remain, you cannot have the center right
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: in this country split and so dysfunctionally split that you
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: have a Labor Party, for example, on thirty percent primary
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: coming through and seizing power and winning in landslides.
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: Scisely how people will see it seizing power just from
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: a Democrats point of view, being a small d Democrat,
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: it would be unfair if people who scored sixty percent
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: of the vote between them, don't get a majority, but
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: could well happen because of the preferential system, and the
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: whole thing hangs on One Nation being able to deliver
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: more than sixty five percent of its preferences to the Liberals.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: I think it would be a good result if they could,
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: because we need a democratic choice in Australia.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Well, we saw a touch of that in South Australia
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: where we had from memory, Labor achieving around thirty eight
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: percent of the primary vote but getting close to seventy
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: five percent of the seats. So again that's the preferential system.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: And Labor in South Australia is much better than it is.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I know, I'm just saying that landslide perhaps it wasn't
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: represented what the electorate wanted. Now let's take a look
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: at some more polling, this time from a Redbridge accent,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: and voters were asked to rank parties according to how
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: they would handle particular issues like the cost of living.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: On that issue, Labor came out in front on twenty
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: three percent, followed by One Nation on nineteen and the
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Liberals on seventeen. The numbers for housing affordability were very
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: similar to that, Labor on twenty one, one Nation nineteen
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: and the Libs on fourteen. But there is one issue
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: where the numbers are quite extraordinary, where one party has
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: a massive lead over the others, and that issue is immigration.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: When voters were asked which party would best handle the
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: issue of immigration, forty percent said One Nation. Labor came
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: in second on nineteen percent and just twelve percent back
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: the Liberals. Michael One Nation getting forty percent on that
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: critical issue. If that doesn't send shock waves through both parties,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: both Labor and the Coalition, I don't know what. Well.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: It's the size and the nature of the immigration. It
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: is unconscionable after promising to reduce immigration, that that fifty
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: thousand people came in January, and that five hundred thousand
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: people came in the previous year. Now I was a
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: supporter previously of high immigration, but that's when Philip Braddock
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: hadded it too hundred thousand and we had people coming
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: in for skills that were needed in Australia. This has
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: got to be wound back and I think Tony Burke
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: did the Labor Party immense damage with these three thousand
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: Gaza tourists.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: For uses now Luise One nation also scored the highest
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: for crime and public safety. Twenty four percent of voters
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: said one nation was best equipped to deal with that issue,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: compared with twenty one percent for Labor and fifteen for
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: the Liberals. But it's this issue of immigration that is
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: the standout in this data. Are we going to see
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: some real meaningful changes from the Coalition and perhaps even
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Labor when it comes to this policy, because they both
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: talk about reducing it, and yet we seem to have
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: record numbers coming in year after year we do.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: And they've always particularly Labour, has always been so reticent
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: to even touch the immigration issue for risk of disrupting
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: their voter base nationally as well as statewide too. But
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: you can see it's the number one issue forty percent.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: That's a staggering data point there for these parties, these
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: major parties, to realize that this is an issue which
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: affects everything. It affects exactly how we operate and live
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: in Australian society because we don't feel our borders are
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: controlled properly and we don't feel that the influx of
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: people is managed properly either, So they can't just pretend
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: it's something it's too hot to touch, or you know,
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: could be they could be accused of being racist if
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: they do tackle it, because it's what people want to know.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: Where do you stand on immigration?
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Now, let's turn our attention to Victoria or Premier just
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: into Alan has fourth back tiers. Some unkind people said
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: crocodile tears as she blamed Donald Trump's war on Iran
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: for causing suffering to Victorians.
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: There's a single mum going without a meal the time.
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: We were told it would be short and sharp.
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: Well it's not, and it's going on and it's hurting families.
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: It's causing pain in Greef.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: What a shock that a war would have some consequences?
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Are we shocked that the Trump administration isn't comparing notes
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: with just into Alan? The audacity, the absolute audacity to
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: be giving geopolitical advice to the Trump administrator.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: Precisely, reader, I mean, JA Center, Allen and Elbow and
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: the socialist left have no understanding of world events. Where
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: were they? Where were you, just Center when forty thousand
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: young people in tear Run were gunned down by the just.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: There was no tears.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: I mean, if you were upset now and you wish
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: the word not to continue, you would have that would
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: have been given you some authority if you had at
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: least complained then, But not to say a word then
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: and to convince this crocodile tears. Now you can never
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: trust the socialist left on foreign policy or immigration.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: And how do we know they were crocodile tears. Well,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: have a look at how she responded Howjason to Alan
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: responded to questions about why her government is focusing on
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: implementing treaty instead of focusing on cost of living.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: We're in the middle of the cost of living crisis.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: Where's the government focused.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: On treaty this morning?
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: Can you what are you referring?
• 10:20
  Speaker 8: I'm referring to the standing orders in Parliament.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: To include to include years have dried up. At that point,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: she just looks indignant that that question would be asked. Loise,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: we never voted for a voice or treaty. In fact,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: the majority of Victorians, like every other state, voted no
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: in the referendum. And yet we've now got a state
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: based voice. We've got a state based treaty and it
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: will need to be consulted for every piece of legislation
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: that's being passed.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: So logjam aside for legislation being put through Victorian Parliament.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: This costs Victorian taxpayers what's seventy million dollars a year?
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: So de Cintra Allen, as the Premier is genuinely concerned
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: about cost living grief in her state. Surely the thing
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: is to disband this body and move that money to
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: cost living relief. I mean it doesn't take as time
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: to work out that would be a good good thing
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: to do, perhaps, but no, this is all about the
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: optics for disentra Alan. Isn't it to be seen to
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: be doing something in this space? But as you say,
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: we didn't vote for the Voice, and Victorian certainly did
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: not vote for a treaty virtue sing me exactly expensive?
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Now, you said, the South Australian government, the Mala Nascus
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: government is much better for format than perhaps other labor
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: governments throughout the country. Yet they're also going down this
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: road despite the fact that what was it, I think
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: it was around sixty four percent of South Australian said
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: no to the Voice. Why are labor governments at state
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: levels so preoccupied by pushing something that Australians voted on
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: just a couple of years ago.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: It's the same as why don't they look objectively at
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: trans issues? And it's because they have been infected by
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: this woke mind virus in all of these issues. So
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: unfortunately labor governments, even ones as sensible as South Australia,
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: believe you have to say these issues in order to
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: be virtuous. You don't. You don't have to perform surgeries
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: on young people at Royal Melbourne Hospital. You don't. It's
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: been found by that Commission in England to be an
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: outrageous use of surgeries under eighteen. And I can't understand
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: why Labor governments, what's it got to do with the
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: Labor Party to support?
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: But the Labor has become hijacked by this hard left
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: movement agenda.
• 12:58
  Speaker 9: You do have.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Within the party machinery of people who have this ideology
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: and they will do everything they can to advance it.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: Well, since COVID and since Dan Andrews has been here
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: in Victoria that the socialist left have had control of
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: the party in all states except New South Wales and
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: South Australia, and they set the tone for all of
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: these issues.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Well, this is why I keep telling everyone Luise, if
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: you want to see what life will be like under
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: a labor government federally in a few years time. Just
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: have a look at Victoria, because what happens here will
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: catch on elsewhere in the country. You've been warned. Louise Roberts,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Michael Danby, thank you so much for your time tonight.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: Thanks reader.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Victorian Libertarian Party leader David Limbrick has made a speech
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: in the Victorian Upper House on the AFL accepting taxpayer
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: funds from the AGACON to Allen government despite the organization
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: taking in a billion dollars a year in revenue. Here's
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: a little of that speech.
• 13:59
  Speaker 10: Let's put aside for the moment the murky issue of
• 14:01
  Speaker 10: former Labor and CFMAU staff working for the AFL. The
• 14:05
  Speaker 10: AFL is a rich part of life in Victoria, but
• 14:08
  Speaker 10: it is also just plain rich. Accepting corporate welfare is
• 14:12
  Speaker 10: embarrassing and it should be beneath them.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: David Limbrick joins me. Now, David, you are taking on
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: the AFL. They are the biggest game in this town.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: You're a brave man.
• 14:24
  Speaker 10: Well, someone's got to ask these questions, and I think
• 14:27
  Speaker 10: you make a good point.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: It is the biggest game in town.
• 14:29
  Speaker 10: If they're making money out of corporate sponsorships, advertising, broadcasting fees,
• 14:35
  Speaker 10: merch memberships and all these other things, and they still
• 14:37
  Speaker 10: can't stand on their own two feet. We've got to
• 14:40
  Speaker 10: ask questions.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: I think now you say you pose all forms of
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: corporate welfare, and you say the AFL should show some
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: dignity and it stops accepting taxpayer funds. What about the
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: argument that people love the sport, it brings them joy.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Some of that money finds its way down to grassroots
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: sport like oz kick. There are a lot of arguments
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: to be made on the merits of giving the AFL
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: some money.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Well, there's a lot of I mean, I'm not arguing
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: that people don't like it. Of course they do.
• 15:13
  Speaker 10: And if people like it, they should be able to
• 15:16
  Speaker 10: support it and stand on its own two feet. I've
• 15:18
  Speaker 10: got no problem with you know, grassroots things that like
• 15:22
  Speaker 10: oz kick, But like people pay for oz kick already,
• 15:24
  Speaker 10: it costs one hundred dollars to join up, they've already
• 15:26
  Speaker 10: got corporate sponsorships themselves, and a lot of that money
• 15:29
  Speaker 10: is used in admin by the AFL itself. So I
• 15:32
  Speaker 10: don't think that, you know, if it's just oz kick
• 15:34
  Speaker 10: and they just want to do oz kick. That's fine, Like,
• 15:37
  Speaker 10: let's get rid of everything except for oz kick.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Maybe.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Well, that's a good point, because they do generate a
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: great deal of money. They get amazing broadcasting deals, sponsorships. Obviously,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: it's a game that's very well attended, and as you've
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: pointed out, you've got a lot of players now making
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: a million plus a year. So it's no bought a
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: small sport. Now let's talk a little bit about the Greens.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: They're calling for a fuel price cap, and you say
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: you oppose this measure. Surely at a time where fuel
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: prices are causing so much economic stress, it's something to
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: be considered.
• 16:17
  Speaker 10: No, likece, the fundamental rule of economics is that price
• 16:22
  Speaker 10: caps equal shortages. Setting a price cap doesn't actually make
• 16:26
  Speaker 10: things cheaper. What it does is it makes them unavailable.
• 16:29
  Speaker 10: If fuel retailers are unable to sell at a price
• 16:32
  Speaker 10: whereby they can make a profit, they're not going to sell.
• 16:35
  Speaker 10: And in fact, that's the problem that we saw with
• 16:38
  Speaker 10: the government's own fuel price caps when they got petrolin
• 16:43
  Speaker 10: when the price was rising very fast, they weren't allowed
• 16:46
  Speaker 10: to raise their prices for another twenty four hours, and
• 16:48
  Speaker 10: some of them didn't take shipments of fuel, so they
• 16:50
  Speaker 10: ended up with shortages. So price caps always equal shortages.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Well, talking about price caps, the Greens are also pushing
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: for a rental cap. Now we've tried those sorts of
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: measures elsewhere in the world and it's almost always ends
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: in disaster. What do you think that would do to
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: the local housing market if we did have rental caps imposed.
• 17:13
  Speaker 10: It'll cause homelessness because shortages in terms of rentals means
• 17:17
  Speaker 10: people can't get rentals, they can't have a home. We
• 17:20
  Speaker 10: saw what happened in Argentina they had rental caps and
• 17:23
  Speaker 10: it was a total disaster. And then President Malay recently
• 17:26
  Speaker 10: removed all forms of price controls on rentals. Availability went
• 17:30
  Speaker 10: up two hundred percent and the price of rentals actually
• 17:33
  Speaker 10: dropped by something like twenty six percent within six months,
• 17:35
  Speaker 10: So you know, deregulation is what makes things more available.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: And again, Victoria serves as an example to the rest
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: of the country because you look at how we've handled
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: the issue of housing, the land tax, all the changes
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: made to the rental laws, and all it's done is
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: see investors exit the market, which means rentals have gone up.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: The rental pool has shrunk and renters are paying a
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: really steep price for those policies.
• 18:04
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 18:04
  Speaker 10: Well, fortunately the government hasn't put in rental caps, but
• 18:08
  Speaker 10: they have put in lots and lots of regulations on rentals.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Plus we've seen land tax.
• 18:12
  Speaker 10: Increases and all sorts of other taxes which has made
• 18:16
  Speaker 10: unattractive for investors, which means there is less rentals available.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: David Limbrick, you've been the unofficial opposition leader in this
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: state for some time. How do you see the Libs
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: that have some renewal under Jess Wilson as a bit
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: of energy about them? But we still saw the more
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: a deeming craziness last week. Do you see them as
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: a legitimate challenger to Labor? Could they win the election
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: come November.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Look, we're still a.
• 18:44
  Speaker 10: Long way off from the election, but I think that
• 18:46
  Speaker 10: many Victorians would see that whole saga that happened recently
• 18:50
  Speaker 10: and they look at that and they say, well, these
• 18:52
  Speaker 10: guys reckon. They can run the state. They can't run
• 18:54
  Speaker 10: a pre selection process properly. I mean, it's not a
• 18:58
  Speaker 10: good look.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Limbrick, always a pleasure, Thanks for your time, Thanks for
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: having me still to car Matt Lefty's Losing d Plus
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: we'll have the latest from the US, including Donald Trump's
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: robust reetric which has enraged all the usual suspects. Josh
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Hammer is up next. You're watching the Reader Panty Show,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: and it's time for Lefty's Losing It. And let's start
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: with a little home ground Lefty Losing in action courtesy
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: of the Marxism Conference held right here in Melbourne. We're
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: so proud to have that happening in Melbourne. Let's see
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: now from the young uns who've decided to embrace the
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: doctrine of failure, the doctrine of envy and oppression. I
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: hate to say it, but the kids ain't all.
• 19:48
  Speaker 12: Right actually be building independent organizations on the basis of
• 19:53
  Speaker 12: Marxist and revolutionary politics.
• 19:56
  Speaker 9: I was just that the session on the Palsinian resistance
• 19:59
  Speaker 9: poetry was at the transphobia session. It was really useful
• 20:03
  Speaker 9: and I think also inspiring to hear about how we've
• 20:05
  Speaker 9: been able to combat the transphobic far right in the past.
• 20:08
  Speaker 9: I was at the session on the middle class routes
• 20:10
  Speaker 9: of Fascism.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Yep, just what you'd expect, ill informed, hard left young
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: activists ignoring the tens of millions killed due to communism.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: I wonder if they had a session there about how
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: communist regimes based on Marxist ideology had caused the deaths
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: of over twenty million people, with some estimates as high
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: as one hundred million. Any sessions on that, or are
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: they too busy enjoying Palestinian resistance poetry in raging about
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: the democratically elected president of the United States.
• 20:45
  Speaker 9: Just had a session about resisting Trump's America and the
• 20:48
  Speaker 9: popular anti Ice rebellions, and I thought a really important
• 20:51
  Speaker 9: key takeaway was the power and the heroic kind of
• 20:55
  Speaker 9: actions of the working class fighting against Trump's authoritarianism and
• 20:59
  Speaker 9: finding against racism in solidarity with immigrants in the reign
• 21:03
  Speaker 9: of Trump's terror.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: I was just at the session of Women in the
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: Russian Revolution, and my highlight of that session was about
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: the important role that women actually played during the Russian Revolution.
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: Tragic.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Really, Let's now go to a nerd with necktats Moby
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: here that has been musician who hasn't had a big
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: hit in twenty years. Here he instructs fellow loopy lefty's
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: on how they can feel their sad, sad days being
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: outraged and horrified.
• 21:32
  Speaker 13: The question is not whether we should be outraged and
• 21:35
  Speaker 13: horrified at what's happening in the United States, but rather,
• 21:39
  Speaker 13: what are we going to do about it? One protest.
• 21:43
  Speaker 13: It's a constitutionally established right, and it's a right that
• 21:46
  Speaker 13: Trump and his administration are trying to take away from us.
• 21:49
  Speaker 13: So whether it's protesting on the streets, whether it's protesting
• 21:52
  Speaker 13: on social media, protesting at work, however, we need to
• 21:56
  Speaker 13: keep protesting.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Oh dear God, no one is taking away your right
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: to protest your hysterical soy boy, though, I think authorities
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: would like left to stop driving their cars into ICE
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: agents or attacking them. While that's generally frowned upon. Let's
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: see what other helpful hints Moby has.
• 22:17
  Speaker 13: Stop supporting the scumbag corporations who support Trump and Ice.
• 22:22
  Speaker 13: We all know who they are. Boycott them five support
• 22:26
  Speaker 13: other activists. Even if we don't agree on everything, we
• 22:30
  Speaker 13: have to stick together. Right now, practice self care, get
• 22:35
  Speaker 13: a good night's sleep, eat well, exercise so you can
• 22:39
  Speaker 13: be a strong, healthy activist tomorrow and every day for
• 22:43
  Speaker 13: the rest of your life.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Oh dear me, be a healthy, little outraged activist for
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: the rest of your life. Of course, not mentally healthy,
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: because no one in their right mind would be listening
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: to that bloke. Now let's go to CNN, who had
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: someone happy news to report on Democrat voters hating Democrats.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: The bottom has fallen out.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: What we're seeing right now about how Democrats feel about
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Democrats and congresses.
• 23:10
  Speaker 8: Take a look at this.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: This is a trend line going back through the years
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: midterm elections in which there's a GOP president. Look at this.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: In two thousand and six, deems net approval of congressional
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Democratic leaders was plus twenty eight. You go back to
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: last midterm, look at that plus nineteen. Very much on
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: the positive side of the bottom has fallen out. The
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: bottom has fallen out minus four points. That is Democrats Democrats'
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: own net approval of their own congressional leaders. Even Democrats
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: don't like their own leaders when it comes to Congress.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: And overall, of course, the numbers are just absolutely awful.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: And sticking with CNN, there was stunned by the latest
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: job data. I take shock here, but I don't detect happiness.
• 23:55
  Speaker 10: I mean, the expectation was, what sixty thousand jobs and
• 23:58
  Speaker 10: it's one seventy eight.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, the job market bounced back in a big way.
• 24:04
  Speaker 11: In March, and that is good news, really blowing away expectations.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Now NASA has launched a lunar mission. They're not going
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: to be landing on the Moon, they'll be going around it.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: But we will have four astronauts, surprisingly none of them
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: are Katie Perry, but four astronauts, nevertheless, three Americans and
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: a Canadian going around the Moon in their capsule and
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: then heading back to Earth. It's an amazing mission. But
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: all some journalists seem to care about is the color
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: and ethnicity of the astronauts and the gender. Here is
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: a Sky News UK's science correspondent.
• 24:40
  Speaker 14: They are going for all humanity this time. You know,
• 24:43
  Speaker 14: Apollo was all white men and this time it's not.
• 24:47
  Speaker 14: And I think that really speaks volumes for the journey
• 24:50
  Speaker 14: that NASA has been on. And this is a much
• 24:52
  Speaker 14: more representative crew and you can feel emotional about that.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: And CNN, predictably, we're also hyper focused on race, obsessed
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: with DEI.
• 25:04
  Speaker 12: Victor Glover will be the first person of color to
• 25:07
  Speaker 12: go to the Moon and Christina will be the first
• 25:12
  Speaker 12: woman to go to the Moon. It means that we
• 25:14
  Speaker 12: are purposefully expanding. We have a Canadian there.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: But Victor Glover, the black astronaut who is leading this mission,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: has no time for such race obsessions. He responded to
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: the question of being the first black man to visit
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: the moon.
• 25:29
  Speaker 8: Listen to this, that this is the human history. It's
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: about human history.
• 25:34
  Speaker 11: It's the story of humanity, not black history, not women's history,
• 25:37
  Speaker 11: but that it becomes human history.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: And Victor Glover is a Christian. I wonder if the
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: journalists so preoccupied with his race spend any time reporting
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: about what he said about his faith the Bible and
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: how all that relates to this mission.
• 25:56
  Speaker 11: And as we are so far from Earth and looking
• 25:59
  Speaker 11: back at, you know, the beauty of creation. I think
• 26:02
  Speaker 11: that for me, one of the really important personal perspectives
• 26:06
  Speaker 11: that I have up here is I can really see
• 26:09
  Speaker 11: Earth as one thing. And you know, when I read
• 26:10
  Speaker 11: the Bible and I look at all of the amazing
• 26:13
  Speaker 11: things that were done for us who were created it.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Joining me now is Newsweek's senior editor at large, Josh Hammer. Josh,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: the Rice Baders will be disappointed. He's talking about his
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: faith there and human endeavor for all of mankind.
• 26:32
  Speaker 15: Yeah, it's inspiring stuff and hopefully it'll make the wolkarate
• 26:35
  Speaker 15: shrink back to the cave.
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: Whence they came read on.
• 26:38
  Speaker 15: I'm tired of it, and I can't imagine, frankly, how
• 26:42
  Speaker 15: the rest of the world feels about this either. I mean,
• 26:45
  Speaker 15: we are now six years almost to the day at
• 26:48
  Speaker 15: this point past the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Surely,
• 26:53
  Speaker 15: surely is surely at some point the nation, the United States,
• 26:55
  Speaker 15: and the world before the matter has to move on
• 26:57
  Speaker 15: beyond this obsession with giving people up into their various
• 27:02
  Speaker 15: attributes and the race, and their ethnicity, and their gender,
• 27:05
  Speaker 15: and their sexual orientation and their national status, and this
• 27:08
  Speaker 15: there heads garbage.
• 27:09
  Speaker 8: But look, he's clearly a man of faith. I am
• 27:12
  Speaker 8: also a just man myself.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: There.
• 27:14
  Speaker 15: If there's one thing we know from the Good Book,
• 27:16
  Speaker 15: from the Bible, there, it's that we are all the
• 27:18
  Speaker 15: children of God. I mean, he's up there in the
• 27:21
  Speaker 15: in the space shuttle, looking down at God's creation. There
• 27:24
  Speaker 15: he's citing Book of Genesis there, Genesis one twenty seven
• 27:26
  Speaker 15: says very clearly that we are all made in God's image.
• 27:29
  Speaker 15: And Martin Luther King believed this thoroughly, and many of
• 27:32
  Speaker 15: the gravest men history have believed this into this thoroughly.
• 27:34
  Speaker 15: There when you start to divvy up people beyond the
• 27:38
  Speaker 15: inherent spark of the divine, that is the sole thing
• 27:42
  Speaker 15: that makes us human the first place, in contrastinctions to
• 27:45
  Speaker 15: the animals and amul king in there. When you start
• 27:46
  Speaker 15: going further and trying to divide us up by all
• 27:48
  Speaker 15: these artificial contrivances, there you are ultimately just really just
• 27:53
  Speaker 15: just spitting on God's creation. And frankly, I for one,
• 27:56
  Speaker 15: am very pleased that there is a lead astronaut here
• 27:59
  Speaker 15: who is not spit on God's creation. He is frankly
• 28:02
  Speaker 15: just just doing that which he can to honor it
• 28:04
  Speaker 15: in leaning this most briefing interrepretive of.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Missions, Josh, Let's get to the war against the Iranian regime,
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: and the red trick from President Trump has certainly escalated
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: in recent days. He posted this on truth Social Tuesday
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: will be power plant Day and Bridge Day all wrapped
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: up in one. In Iran. There will be nothing like it.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Oping the effin straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll be
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: living in hell. Just watch Praise be to Allah President
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Donald J. Trump. Josh, firstly told me your reaction to
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: that post and how you see this conflict progressing to.
• 28:43
  Speaker 15: Your first question, how did I react? I almost split
• 28:45
  Speaker 15: on my coffee. Frankly, it's how he almost react on
• 28:47
  Speaker 15: this post this morning. I mean I was signed on
• 28:50
  Speaker 15: Slaansey touched this like five or six friends. I was like,
• 28:53
  Speaker 15: this is a screenshot, because there have been so many
• 28:56
  Speaker 15: instances over the years, reader where you have these these
• 28:58
  Speaker 15: fake accounts that try to pretend like Trump. Then, because
• 29:01
  Speaker 15: Trump tends to speak off the cuff a lot of times,
• 29:04
  Speaker 15: actually is believable that this actually might be him there,
• 29:07
  Speaker 15: But no, this like actually was him. And I mean
• 29:09
  Speaker 15: this is Donnie from Queen's at his best. I mean,
• 29:12
  Speaker 15: I mean this is the Outer Borough Donald Trump, the
• 29:14
  Speaker 15: guy who grew up in Queen's There, the guy the
• 29:16
  Speaker 15: kind of guy who call into New York City sports
• 29:19
  Speaker 15: talk radio and just just lay it out there. But again,
• 29:22
  Speaker 15: Donald Trump does not just lay it out there. He acts,
• 29:25
  Speaker 15: and he acts time and time again. I mean, this
• 29:27
  Speaker 15: rescue operation to save this stranded airman, the details look
• 29:32
  Speaker 15: like it's out of a Hollywood movie. Honestly, I mean
• 29:34
  Speaker 15: this is just staggering stuff there. So yes, the Iranians
• 29:38
  Speaker 15: absolutely absolutely should take Donald Trump at his word when
• 29:41
  Speaker 15: he says you better open up the effing straight, or
• 29:44
  Speaker 15: else we're gonna send you back to the stony just
• 29:46
  Speaker 15: because this is a guy who actually does what he says,
• 29:49
  Speaker 15: and he means what he says, and he acts upon
• 29:51
  Speaker 15: what he says. You think that his enemies would have
• 29:52
  Speaker 15: learned that by now there. As far as where the
• 29:54
  Speaker 15: war goes from here, look, excuse to be the president.
• 29:57
  Speaker 15: It's not stepping off the gas pedal rita anytime soon. Obviously,
• 30:00
  Speaker 15: cannot go on forever. Certainly the price of gasoline here
• 30:03
  Speaker 15: in America is a very close metric, as we had
• 30:05
  Speaker 15: towards the November midterms there. But this is Donald Trump
• 30:08
  Speaker 15: acting because he thinks and he frankly knows this is
• 30:11
  Speaker 15: the right thing to do. There is a problem that's
• 30:12
  Speaker 15: been going on for way, way, way too long there,
• 30:15
  Speaker 15: and I don't think he's slowing down anytime soon there.
• 30:17
  Speaker 15: It's very hard to put a time mess be on
• 30:19
  Speaker 15: this there. But until the mission is done, reader, this
• 30:21
  Speaker 15: is a man who all indications, all signs points that
• 30:24
  Speaker 15: he has the resolve in the great termination to see
• 30:26
  Speaker 15: this thing through.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Now, the media, the likes of The Guardian and really
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: most of the mainstream media is shocked by the President's rehtrick.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: The Guardian ran with this headline unhinged Madman. US politicians
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: react to Trump's expletive laden threat to Iran. And we've
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: also got people who were formerly supporters of Donald Trump,
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: people like Candice Owens, who has posted this. She said,
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: this is a satanic administration. We all realize that Satanic
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Zionists occupy the White House, and Congress needs to move
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: to have the mad King Trump removed. All of our
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: lives may depend upon other countries realizing that Trump is
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: deeply unwell and surrounded by religious fanatics who have convinced
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: him that he is a messiah. We are in uncharted territory.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Leaders worldwide need to act accordingly. Josh, what's your response
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: to Candace Owens and the mainstream media who seems to
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: be really preoccupied with expletives rather than the strategy behind
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: a post like this.
• 31:43
  Speaker 15: Well, Kenneth Owen's read I think you and I have
• 31:45
  Speaker 15: discussed from the past. She is just a reaving lunatic
• 31:48
  Speaker 15: at this point there frankly, if America or refer frail country,
• 31:51
  Speaker 15: which in many ways she is, but if she were
• 31:52
  Speaker 15: a truly ferfuil country, I think Kennis Owens would be
• 31:55
  Speaker 15: frankly in the looney bindness point there, she would be
• 31:57
  Speaker 15: in the mental ward of some asylum there, as opposed
• 31:59
  Speaker 15: to garnering millions millions of using downloads from her increasingly
• 32:04
  Speaker 15: just unhinged program there. Frankly, she's the living embodiment of
• 32:07
  Speaker 15: so called horseshoe theory of people on the so called
• 32:10
  Speaker 15: far right. I don't really thinking of for her as
• 32:11
  Speaker 15: being on the right anymore, but to extend that she is.
• 32:14
  Speaker 15: She is making common cause with the denizens of the
• 32:17
  Speaker 15: furthest on the far far left there, and now she's
• 32:20
  Speaker 15: calling for impeachment there. It's just sick, absolutely sickening stuff there.
• 32:25
  Speaker 15: Trump is going to see this thing through. He doesn't
• 32:28
  Speaker 15: give a rat behind Frankly, as to what Candice Owe says,
• 32:33
  Speaker 15: as to what CBS, NBC, ABC says, Martha rattits, who
• 32:38
  Speaker 15: the heck cares Donald Trump RITA. As I said in
• 32:41
  Speaker 15: my speech at Cepack about a week and a half
• 32:42
  Speaker 15: ago in Texas, Donald Trump has been more consistent, arguably
• 32:46
  Speaker 15: on the issue of ron going back to literally nineteen
• 32:49
  Speaker 15: eighty like the year after the revolution. He's been arguably
• 32:52
  Speaker 15: mortgagist on this issue than any issue out there, with
• 32:55
  Speaker 15: the exception of tariffs. He has been calling the Molas
• 32:58
  Speaker 15: out for their their danger and their perfidy and frankly
• 33:02
  Speaker 15: just their evil ways for forty seven years now, and
• 33:06
  Speaker 15: he's not gonna stop anytime soon.
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: There.
• 33:08
  Speaker 15: But yes, there is this effort, reader, and I called
• 33:11
  Speaker 15: out all the time. In these days, it seems like
• 33:14
  Speaker 15: there's an effort from some people on the so called
• 33:16
  Speaker 15: right to try to undermine the Trump administration from within.
• 33:18
  Speaker 15: Dald Trump, to his great credit readA, to paraphrase Michael
• 33:21
  Speaker 15: Coroleoni from The Godfather, is increasingly starting to settle the
• 33:24
  Speaker 15: Maga family business. He is not happy anymore the people
• 33:27
  Speaker 15: who claim to speak for Maga but are actually just
• 33:29
  Speaker 15: trying to undermine Trump on a daily basis, much like
• 33:32
  Speaker 15: Cantonone's there.
• 33:32
  Speaker 8: That's the good news there.
• 33:34
  Speaker 15: The bad news that these people don't seem to be
• 33:35
  Speaker 15: sewing down anytime soon. But frankly, I prefer to have
• 33:38
  Speaker 15: a commander in chief doesn't really give too you know
• 33:41
  Speaker 15: what's about what the critics say there, and just has
• 33:43
  Speaker 15: a basic, visceral, instinctive moral compass as to what is
• 33:48
  Speaker 15: the right and wrong thing to do on the world stage.
• 33:50
  Speaker 8: There, Trump knows what the right thing to do is.
• 33:52
  Speaker 8: He does it quite well in my dad.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Now, you mentioned that incredible rescue mission that we've hearing
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: more and more about. Tell me a little bit about this.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: The US military successfully rescued a missing crew member after
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: his fighter jet was shut down in a remote right
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: part of Iran Josh. This was a very complex mission
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: in hostile territory. What more can you tell us about
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: how they did and how they managed to go in
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: there get their man without losing anybody.
• 34:29
  Speaker 15: So, look, because the US military is the greatest fighting
• 34:31
  Speaker 15: force in the history of mankind, they have protocols on
• 34:34
  Speaker 15: this sort of thing there, and essentially minutes after this
• 34:38
  Speaker 15: airman found that fifteen had been shot down there, he
• 34:41
  Speaker 15: essentially initiated those protocols there. So he immediately climbed I
• 34:45
  Speaker 15: believe it at least hundreds, possibly even a thousand or
• 34:48
  Speaker 15: more feet to the top of a remote ridge there,
• 34:50
  Speaker 15: and he set off some device that he was carrying
• 34:53
  Speaker 15: on in there to essentially alert the Americans as to
• 34:56
  Speaker 15: where he was at that time. Turned out that there
• 34:59
  Speaker 15: were some Irani mil military assets there that were friendly
• 35:01
  Speaker 15: hunting him down.
• 35:02
  Speaker 8: They got very very close to him. They might have
• 35:03
  Speaker 8: even known that he was there.
• 35:04
  Speaker 15: There, the various other American military units got in there,
• 35:08
  Speaker 15: engaged in various forms of firefights with the Iranians there,
• 35:12
  Speaker 15: and ultimately they sent in some aircraft to this mountain
• 35:16
  Speaker 15: ridge to physically evacuate him again in the midst of firefights.
• 35:19
  Speaker 15: Ultimately he has been evacuated safely with only the most
• 35:22
  Speaker 15: minor of injuries. Previated to God, the whole thing is
• 35:25
  Speaker 15: literally out of like a saving Private Ryan Tom Hanks film.
• 35:28
  Speaker 15: I mean, it's just astounding stuff, really, and every so often, frankly,
• 35:34
  Speaker 15: you just want to be reminded as to what the
• 35:36
  Speaker 15: US military is capable of there, and increasingly Rita it
• 35:39
  Speaker 15: seems that Rons has learned that the hard way over
• 35:41
  Speaker 15: and over and over again these days.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: And if we didn't have such a hysterical media desperate
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: to paint this war as a disaster as opposed to
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: or really what you would have expected at this point
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: in the conflict, I think there would be a lot
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: more focus on just how what an incredible achievement it
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: has been to be able to go in there, and
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: to also, Josh, to value the life of your crewmen
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: so much that you undertake a mission like this, that
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: you risk the lives of dozens to go into that
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: hostile territory on the ground to get your man out.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: A lot of other armies around the world wouldn't do that.
• 36:28
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean, this is the American military. It's absolutely financed.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Heariy.
• 36:31
  Speaker 15: The ethos of leave no men behind has just been affirmed,
• 36:35
  Speaker 15: ratified and for the entire world to see. And it's
• 36:37
  Speaker 15: a deeply inspiring message. There Again, it's one thing to
• 36:40
  Speaker 15: train it, it's not a thing to actually do it.
• 36:43
  Speaker 15: I think back similarly to the Nicholas Maduro Rate actually
• 36:46
  Speaker 15: in Venezuela operation, absolute resolve of the American military quality.
• 36:50
  Speaker 15: Apparently the Delta Force men in the US Army were
• 36:53
  Speaker 15: training for months for that in a military installation in Kentucky.
• 36:57
  Speaker 15: But it's one thing to train to do in Kentucky.
• 37:00
  Speaker 15: Thing to then go in there into Caracas in the
• 37:02
  Speaker 15: wee hours of the morning there in Venezuela, who try
• 37:05
  Speaker 15: to mow down a lot of Cuban regime guards who,
• 37:07
  Speaker 15: regarding Nichols Vonduro's beven azuell On compound there and then
• 37:10
  Speaker 15: extract them there. That was a staggering successful operation. The
• 37:13
  Speaker 15: Kamey nee strike staggering successful. Essentially all the military nuts
• 37:18
  Speaker 15: and bolts actually of epic fury so far. Again, the
• 37:20
  Speaker 15: politics are complicated, the energy prices, the global markets. There,
• 37:23
  Speaker 15: there's a lot of moving parts of this war. But
• 37:25
  Speaker 15: the actual brass tax military success has been astonishing. And
• 37:30
  Speaker 15: to your point there the media were not so biased.
• 37:33
  Speaker 15: If we were not there were not some subversive fifth
• 37:35
  Speaker 15: column people from within this wholl to quote unquote right
• 37:37
  Speaker 15: like the aforementioned Candi zones there. If all these people
• 37:41
  Speaker 15: didn't have their own agendas there, then the overwhelming focus
• 37:44
  Speaker 15: on the actual merits's been done there has been that the
• 37:46
  Speaker 15: US military has again solidified itself as as again what
• 37:51
  Speaker 15: I said, which is the greatest fighting force in history
• 37:52
  Speaker 15: of mankind there, And it's not just the blowing the
• 37:55
  Speaker 15: enemies up there in this case, it is this the
• 37:57
  Speaker 15: overwhelming ethos of teamwork, unity and again leaving no man behind.
• 38:02
  Speaker 15: It's really really inspiring stuff. Frankly, this and the best
• 38:05
  Speaker 15: part of Al Rita is not just that the United States,
• 38:09
  Speaker 15: with our Israeli allies, we are handily defeating the audience
• 38:11
  Speaker 15: at this time. The best part is that missions like
• 38:14
  Speaker 15: this and affirming ethos like this of leaving man behind
• 38:17
  Speaker 15: there will only have the effect of incentivizing more good
• 38:20
  Speaker 15: young men in American heartland South Midwest from sea to
• 38:24
  Speaker 15: sign and sheet to sign up for the US military,
• 38:26
  Speaker 15: which is one of the foremost goals of Pete Heggs
• 38:28
  Speaker 15: sat the Secretary of War.
• 38:29
  Speaker 8: And then they are well on the way of doing that.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: Now, Josh, before you go, the latest job data came
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: out in recent days and news was overwhelmingly good for
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: the US and much better than the markets were expecting. Josh.
• 38:46
  Speaker 15: Yeah, So, look, the economy has been going up and
• 38:49
  Speaker 15: down a little bit there, and the war is this,
• 38:51
  Speaker 15: and Gasny is sort of there, but this is an
• 38:53
  Speaker 15: excellent jobs for our number. There one thing that we
• 38:55
  Speaker 15: can save so far, Rita, It's now been just over
• 38:57
  Speaker 15: a year since so called Liberation Day at the Rose
• 38:59
  Speaker 15: Garden with Donald Trump's sweeping taris and from there we
• 39:02
  Speaker 15: can definitively say that the tariff pannikins and the tariff
• 39:07
  Speaker 15: Democrat haters there frankly just totally.
• 39:11
  Speaker 8: Botched this one. There.
• 39:12
  Speaker 15: You can quibble with tarrort policy, you can quibble with
• 39:15
  Speaker 15: the trade offs that are implicit that when it comes
• 39:17
  Speaker 15: to supply and demand production, consumption, et cetera. There these
• 39:20
  Speaker 15: are real value judgments, real tradeoffs there. Donald Trump definitely
• 39:23
  Speaker 15: has more of a mercantilist view when it comes to
• 39:26
  Speaker 15: the balance of trade.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: Things like that.
• 39:27
  Speaker 15: There one Quinn can quibble. But the doomsday or those
• 39:31
  Speaker 15: said that Trump's terrorists which just totally crashed the economy
• 39:33
  Speaker 15: clearly have no idea what they're talking about there, because
• 39:35
  Speaker 15: the economy actually is doing justifying could be better, sure,
• 39:38
  Speaker 15: it could always better. Their inflation is still around two
• 39:40
  Speaker 15: and a half three percent, the Federal Reserve wants to
• 39:42
  Speaker 15: be close to two percent.
• 39:43
  Speaker 8: There.
• 39:43
  Speaker 15: Overall though, things are not nearly as bad as a
• 39:46
  Speaker 15: hater say. And bring us back to the ir on topic, reader,
• 39:49
  Speaker 15: what that could do is it could give Trump just
• 39:51
  Speaker 15: a little more leeway to do what he clearly clearly
• 39:53
  Speaker 15: wants to do, which is see this mission.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: Through Josh Hamma. Thank you so much for your time.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: Thank you, red appreciate coming up. All the royal and
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: entertainment news, including Meghan Markle's woes down under d D.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Dun Levy is coming up next. Welcome back. Joining me
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: now to discuss the latest royal and entertainment news is
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: Melbourne broadcasting legend d D. Dun Levy de Dy. Let's
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: start with Saturday Night Live, which once was enormously entertaining
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: and funny. Now this passes for comedy wishing for the
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: death of the US president.
• 40:36
  Speaker 10: President Trump attended the opening night of Chicago at the
• 40:39
  Speaker 10: Kennedy Center.
• 40:40
  Speaker 11: And I think that's cool that the president is going
• 40:43
  Speaker 11: to the theater.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, what's the worst that could happen?
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: Did he? I'm not offended. I'm just bored. It's not funny.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: I don't mind comedians being risque, being offensive. Just be funny.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: I will accept any sort of line of comedy as
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: long as it makes me laugh.
• 41:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's hard to be funny.
• 41:06
  Speaker 16: And of course, those who have studied history know that
• 41:09
  Speaker 16: in eighteen sixty five, Abraham Lincoln, that president at the time,
• 41:12
  Speaker 16: was shot in the head at the Ford Theater in Washington,
• 41:14
  Speaker 16: DC and he died the following morning. So that's not funny.
• 41:19
  Speaker 16: Donald Trump is a seventy nine year old man. There've
• 41:21
  Speaker 16: been two attempts on his life, one of which came
• 41:24
  Speaker 16: very close to hitting him in the head. That's not funny.
• 41:28
  Speaker 16: And yet these guys thought that it was okay. And
• 41:30
  Speaker 16: these jokes don't just get through. They're not just made
• 41:32
  Speaker 16: up on the spot. Somebody's written it, others have cackled
• 41:35
  Speaker 16: at it behind the scenes and approved it, and then
• 41:38
  Speaker 16: the audience being like a pack of hyaenas just with
• 41:41
  Speaker 16: absolute bloodlust. I found the whole thing rather offensive.
• 41:44
  Speaker 7: I am offended.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: I'm boord, I'm bored. I just want them to be funny. Dude,
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: be funny. You're supposed to be comics. You have writers,
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: you have producers, you have whole teams for a one
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: hour weekly show. It got to be funny. Now, let's
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: talk about Tiger Woods. Footage has emerged of him shortly
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: before he was arrested for driving under the influence. Have
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: a look at this bodycam footage where Tiger claims he
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: was on the phone to the President.
• 42:16
  Speaker 7: Did you hang out down here with us?
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: Please?
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 42:21
  Speaker 12: Thank you?
• 42:25
  Speaker 8: So I'll just keep you down here with us, please.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was stopping him the president.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: Did he have a fan of Tiger Woods? But that
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: is just cringe. Even if he was talking to the president,
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: don't tell the police that. Don't try to influence them
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: by big noting your connection to the president. Do you
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: think he really actually did call the president in that
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: time of crisis instead of calling his manager or his
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: girlfriend or somebody else. Well, he might have already done
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: so I think he did, probably, but the police didn't
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: ask him who he was on the phone too, so
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: that makes it even more cringe. The thing that when
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: you watch that bodycam footage, the thing that concerned me
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: the most about it was when they found the pills
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: in his pocket. I'm not sure if we had need
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: to say allegedly because it's been reported that they were there.
• 43:16
  Speaker 7: His response was, Oh, they're nacos. Now. I don't know
• 43:19
  Speaker 7: if you talk like that. I certainly don't.
• 43:21
  Speaker 16: I'm not a drug taker, but that sounds like sort
• 43:23
  Speaker 16: of street drug addict talk.
• 43:26
  Speaker 8: I Suspectager is.
• 43:28
  Speaker 16: And the fact that he's had to him remove himself
• 43:30
  Speaker 16: to recover, I think he's a whole lot further gone
• 43:34
  Speaker 16: down that drug taking path than many people realized. So
• 43:38
  Speaker 16: the whole episode I think is really it's sad. It's sad,
• 43:42
  Speaker 16: and I don't feel sorry for him. He's made this
• 43:45
  Speaker 16: mess himself.
• 43:46
  Speaker 7: He's in this.
• 43:46
  Speaker 16: Pain because of previous accidents he's had while probably impaired.
• 43:52
  Speaker 16: But it is just sad to see a great hero,
• 43:54
  Speaker 16: great sports champion, reduced to what he's become.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: He needs to have a woman and driver on staff,
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: just somebody who drives him around. I think we've had
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: enough incidents now that we don't need Tiger behind the
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: will anytime soon. Now, I mentioned Mobi earlier. There has
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: been musician who's called on his fans to boycott and
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: I quote the scumbag companies which support President Trump and
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: Ice Diddy. What do you make of Moby's activism and
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: call for action.
• 44:27
  Speaker 16: Well, he's a big lefty, we know that. And what
• 44:29
  Speaker 16: he's doing here is something that we see from a
• 44:31
  Speaker 16: lot of these lefty protesters is that they absolutely hate America.
• 44:36
  Speaker 16: So he issued this six point plan. He thinks he's
• 44:39
  Speaker 16: so powerful he can tell his supporters what to do.
• 44:42
  Speaker 7: But one of them was.
• 44:43
  Speaker 16: To boycott businesses that support Donald Trump or his agenda.
• 44:48
  Speaker 16: So he actually wants to see American businesses fail. Now,
• 44:52
  Speaker 16: where is the logic he's known for shooting his mouth off.
• 44:55
  Speaker 16: I think when Elon Musk took over what was Twitter
• 44:59
  Speaker 16: what is now, he vowed that he couldn't stand it
• 45:02
  Speaker 16: anymore and he was never going to use it again.
• 45:03
  Speaker 16: But he's still on there. So I think he's just
• 45:05
  Speaker 16: a big old bag of hot air. And I couldn't
• 45:08
  Speaker 16: even tell you one of his songs or when.
• 45:10
  Speaker 7: He last had a hit, so he's pretty irrelevant.
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: I think it's been about twenty years since he had
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: a hit, a big hit, so that's why I said
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: has been these days he's posting messages telling his people
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: to boycott corporations and also just weird scare mongering saying
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: they're right to protest. Is going to be taken away. Now,
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: let's talk about Meghan Markle. It seems her upcoming wellness
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: retreat in Australia has hit a roadblock or two. There's
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: questions about the ticket sales. The promoter says tickets are
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: exhausted for the weekend event. However, Radar Online says that
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: tickets are very much available, with prices ranging from nineteen
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: hundred to twenty three hundred dollars. Australian The Daily Mail
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: has also reported that online trolls are set to try
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: their luck and gate crash the event, causing all sorts
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: of security concerns. Diddie, I don't know who would be
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: paying around two thousand dollars for this retreat. You could
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: not pay me to attend this. Imagine the type of
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: people are going to be there, or will be just
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: rooms full of drainers.
• 46:23
  Speaker 7: Oh that's a shame because I've hooked us a double
• 46:25
  Speaker 7: room reater. Oh no, let's go. No, wouldn't that be
• 46:29
  Speaker 7: just dreadful.
• 46:30
  Speaker 16: Look, this is all based on the discussion on Reddit
• 46:33
  Speaker 16: where somebody's husband apparently signed her up on the mailing
• 46:36
  Speaker 16: list for a joke, and she's been getting multiple emails
• 46:39
  Speaker 16: reminding her you haven't brought your tickets yet, and she said,
• 46:41
  Speaker 16: there's no way they're sold out if they're still persisting
• 46:44
  Speaker 16: in pestering me and trying to buy tickets, and this
• 46:47
  Speaker 16: idea that there are trolls who are going to.
• 46:49
  Speaker 7: Get in there and film.
• 46:50
  Speaker 16: Megan has raised security concerns, which some people are saying
• 46:55
  Speaker 16: is possibly an excuse that she can now.
• 46:58
  Speaker 7: Use that as because of the porte gets.
• 47:00
  Speaker 16: Howes, she can say, oh, there's security concerns, I'm going
• 47:02
  Speaker 16: to pull out, but I believe she will come.
• 47:06
  Speaker 7: Now when Jimma.
• 47:09
  Speaker 16: Gemmer O'Neill, who's Jackie O'Neill's Jackie Henderson, Jackie o's manager,
• 47:14
  Speaker 16: when she was talking about this, she alluded to the
• 47:16
  Speaker 16: fact that Meghan is not.
• 47:17
  Speaker 7: Being paid, that Meghan was appearing at this.
• 47:20
  Speaker 16: Thing as a favor to a mutual friend, a guy
• 47:23
  Speaker 16: called Marcus Anderson.
• 47:25
  Speaker 7: Now follow me here.
• 47:26
  Speaker 16: There's a hotel that's dusual opening Sydney called Soho House.
• 47:30
  Speaker 16: He's involved with that. He's a long term friend of Megan's.
• 47:33
  Speaker 16: So it makes sense that there's this link there. I
• 47:37
  Speaker 16: wonder whether she is coming to town to be part
• 47:40
  Speaker 16: of the opening.
• 47:41
  Speaker 7: Of the hotel.
• 47:41
  Speaker 16: Just a theory, because someone's got to be paying for
• 47:44
  Speaker 16: her to be here.
• 47:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah, she hasn't come here for nothing.
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: And you you are so cynic, called Dedie dunlee Vy.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: You just refuse to believe that she's here out of
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: the goodness of her heart as a favor to a friend.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: Of course, it is possible. It is a possible. Before
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: you go the family of Virginia Jiuffrey, she is one
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: of the accusers against Jeffrey Epstein and Prince the Man
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: formerly known as Prince Andrew Well. The family of Virginia
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: Jeufrey have urged King Charles to meet with survivors during
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: his visit to the United States later this month. In
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: a statement released, Sky and Amanda Roberts said, we strongly
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: urge King Charles to meet with us and survivors and
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: hear what we have to say. We are thankful to
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: him for heeding our sister's allegations against Andrew Badden Windsor
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: and for his decisive action in stripping his brother from
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: his position as a prince DIDDI. King Charles is going
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: to have to deal with the fallout of this scandal,
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: possibly for the rest of his reign.
• 48:53
  Speaker 16: Yeah, and I don't know that there's much he can
• 48:55
  Speaker 16: do at this point. To my eyes, he's done everything
• 48:59
  Speaker 16: that he possibly can within his power. He's stripped Andrew
• 49:03
  Speaker 16: of any royal titles and any honors.
• 49:05
  Speaker 7: That he had.
• 49:05
  Speaker 16: He's kicked him out, He's basically removed him from the
• 49:09
  Speaker 16: site of pretty much anyone. Look. I understand the victims
• 49:14
  Speaker 16: wanting more attention, wanting to speak to Charles, because I
• 49:17
  Speaker 16: don't know whether they have faith that Andrew will be
• 49:20
  Speaker 16: held accountable. I certainly hope that he will be, and
• 49:24
  Speaker 16: the Palace has said that Charles can't really do anything
• 49:28
  Speaker 16: more at the moment while there is a police investigation.
• 49:31
  Speaker 7: Underway, so he's sort of hamstrung.
• 49:33
  Speaker 16: And Prince Charles I sorry, King Charles and Prince William
• 49:37
  Speaker 16: and Princess Catherine. They've all publicly acknowledged the allegations against Andrew,
• 49:42
  Speaker 16: and I think, unfortunately that's as much as they can
• 49:44
  Speaker 16: do at this point, which I understand must be frustrating
• 49:47
  Speaker 16: for the victims' families, but that's the way it has
• 49:50
  Speaker 16: to be at the moment.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: Dennie dun Levy, thank you so much for your time tonight,
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: and that's all the time we have. Don't go anywhere.
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: Nears Night is coming up next
