- 0:05Speaker 2: This is the Wider Panalty Show.
- 0:07Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panning Show. Coming
- 0:10Speaker 3: up tonight, Coalition Climate wars on the horizon as Liberals
- 0:14Speaker 3: off for Susan Lee as leader. Patrick Carline will be
- 0:18Speaker 3: here to discuss the day's top headlines, including leftist feminist
- 0:23Speaker 3: agitators Abby Chatfield and Clementine Ford turning on each other.
- 0:27Speaker 3: Sippety Bastian will weigh in on the new liberal leader.
- 0:31Speaker 3: Is she a genuine women's rights warrior or does she
- 0:34Speaker 3: struggle to explain what a woman is? Kosher Gator will
- 0:38Speaker 3: have the latest on the trade war between China and
- 0:41Speaker 3: the US, and later in the hour they always droll
- 0:43Speaker 3: Alex Stein on the Trump administration taking on big farmer
- 0:49Speaker 3: and left. He's losing. It is a extra unhinged tonight.
- 0:53Speaker 3: I can help me talk to somebody.
- 0:55Speaker 4: He didn't you Entime tegal.
- 1:00Speaker 3: Rules Today voted in Susan Lee as their new leader,
- 1:03Speaker 3: opting for her over Angus Tail on a very slim
- 1:06Speaker 3: margin of twenty nine to twenty five, which saw Jacenterprives
- 1:10Speaker 3: decide not to run for deputy leadership. Are that left
- 1:13Speaker 3: ted O'Brien to defeat Phil Thompson quite comfortably thirty eight
- 1:17Speaker 3: to sixteen votes. Now on Susan Lee, we know she
- 1:20Speaker 3: added an extra s to her name because of her
- 1:23Speaker 3: belief in numerology. She has also done some massive backflips
- 1:28Speaker 3: on a range of issues, from Israel to the Voice referendum.
- 1:32Speaker 3: On Israel, she is a bit of a late convert.
- 1:35Speaker 3: She labeled Foreign Minister Pennywonk's criticism of the only Jewish
- 1:39Speaker 3: state disgraceful. Recently, but earlier in her political career she
- 1:44Speaker 3: took a different approach. In twenty eleven, she voted for
- 1:47Speaker 3: Palestinian statehood, saying a secure Israel demands a Bible Palestinian state.
- 1:54Speaker 3: The occupation's daily toll checkpoints, permits, lockdowns, home detention, settlement
- 1:59Speaker 3: expansion is exhausting the Palestinian people and are undermining hopes
- 2:03Speaker 3: for peace. And in two thousand and eight, she said
- 2:07Speaker 3: during Israel's sixtieth and adversary in Parliament that Gaza is besieged,
- 2:12Speaker 3: contained on the brink of starvation. She said, while we
- 2:16Speaker 3: celebrate Israel's remarkable achievements, the Palestinian people must not be
- 2:21Speaker 3: airbrushed out of existence. On the Crucial Voice referendum. She
- 2:26Speaker 3: was initially in favor before the backflip to the No side,
- 2:31Speaker 3: and only last year she was promoting the deeply flawed
- 2:35Speaker 3: activist gender wage gap report.
- 2:39Speaker 5: I'm pleased to see the scrutiny that is being applied
- 2:43Speaker 5: today with the release of this data to organizations in Australia.
- 2:47Speaker 3: My message to corporate Australia is it's not.
- 2:50Speaker 5: Good enough to have a morning tea and cupcakes and
- 2:54Speaker 5: pink icing.
- 2:55Speaker 3: Now let's bring in a senior News Corp writer, Patrick
- 2:59Speaker 3: Carly for his take on this issue. How do you
- 3:02Speaker 3: see at Patrick? The choice was between Angus Taylor Susan Lee.
- 3:08Speaker 3: Is this the rebirth of the Liberal Party?
- 3:11Speaker 6: Well, we'll have to wait and see.
- 3:12Speaker 7: Reeza.
- 3:13Speaker 6: Look, she's got the hardest job in politics at the moment.
- 3:15Speaker 6: She's going to seek to unite a party that managed
- 3:19Speaker 6: to alienate so many different parts of the community only
- 3:22Speaker 6: a couple of weeks ago with the election. The Liberal
- 3:26Speaker 6: Party doesn't know what it is, what it's trying to be,
- 3:29Speaker 6: and what it wants to be. And this this rebuild,
- 3:32Speaker 6: if you want to call it, that is going to
- 3:34Speaker 6: take months, if not years. She's going to be in charge.
- 3:37Speaker 6: She's traditionally a moderate. You talk about backflipping, but the
- 3:42Speaker 6: party managed to put off so many sections of the community.
- 3:46Speaker 6: What she has to try and do is sort of
- 3:48Speaker 6: present a party that listens to Australia and actually is
- 3:52Speaker 6: aware of what strands care about in a way that
- 3:56Speaker 6: it plainly did not coming into twenty twenty five. She's
- 4:00Speaker 6: got a really tough.
- 4:01Speaker 3: Job, she certainly does. And that job may be even
- 4:04Speaker 3: tougher if the moderate Susan Lee as Liberal leader sees
- 4:09Speaker 3: a split with the National Coalition because the issue of
- 4:14Speaker 3: energy is going to be crucial. If the National Party
- 4:18Speaker 3: walk away from their net zero commitments, that is going
- 4:22Speaker 3: to be quite a rift in the coalition. Certainly, if
- 4:27Speaker 3: Matt Canavan was elevated to leader, that would be happening.
- 4:31Speaker 3: But even David a little Proud has indicated that he
- 4:34Speaker 3: is not interested in this renewables only position. He just
- 4:38Speaker 3: does not see it as sustainable and it's not going
- 4:43Speaker 3: to power Australia.
- 4:44Speaker 6: Look, I think the timeline this is probably helpful for
- 4:47Speaker 6: somebody Susan Lee in this position. In the net zero
- 4:51Speaker 6: twenty fifty question has sort of got muddled in the
- 4:54Speaker 6: last few years by rising power prices and by growing recognition.
- 4:58Speaker 6: I think that the renewables dream is unachievable without fossil fuels.
- 5:03Speaker 6: And I mean, you've got all these sort of arguments
- 5:05Speaker 6: going on about gas and whether we should be using
- 5:08Speaker 6: more gas because it shut down on more coal power
- 5:13Speaker 6: stations sooner, and you've got all these little arguments with
- 5:16Speaker 6: their arguments. I don't think the twenty fifty question is
- 5:18Speaker 6: sort of front of center for a lot of Australians
- 5:21Speaker 6: at the moment.
- 5:22Speaker 3: It isn't. But we are going to see labor be
- 5:26Speaker 3: even bolder in their emission targets. There's a huge push
- 5:29Speaker 3: from within labor, the very powerful climate lobby groups within
- 5:34Speaker 3: Labor are wanting to see them take a bolder position
- 5:38Speaker 3: really utilize this enormous election landslide. Can energy be the
- 5:45Speaker 3: debate point between the two parties? Because we had just
- 5:48Speaker 3: an election where many people wondered what the difference was
- 5:51Speaker 3: between the two parties. Could it be energy?
- 5:55Speaker 6: Look Ted O'Brien, who is Susan Lee's deputy, he was
- 5:58Speaker 6: the nuclear guy for the party.
- 6:00Speaker 3: He had listed a word about nuclear throughout the campaign
- 6:03Speaker 3: that was so.
- 6:04Speaker 6: Terrified it fell apart. That whole sort of notion of
- 6:07Speaker 6: nuclear as an alternative really did fall by the wayside,
- 6:10Speaker 6: didn't it. Throughout? Look, I think power bills are the
- 6:14Speaker 6: big question here. Are they going to keep going up?
- 6:16Speaker 6: Is it going to be because of renewable energy targets
- 6:18Speaker 6: that are unachievable. Look, the hip pocket drives a lot
- 6:23Speaker 6: more in terms of a voter sentiment than does saving
- 6:27Speaker 6: the world. The abstraction of saving the world, I think,
- 6:30Speaker 6: and certain those power prices really hurting people. I think
- 6:33Speaker 6: how those come down will have a huge bearing on
- 6:37Speaker 6: targets and thoughts.
- 6:40Speaker 3: But that argument really probably because we don't have a
- 6:44Speaker 3: coalition government that is strong enough to make these arguments.
- 6:47Speaker 3: And I've argued if they actually went to the election
- 6:50Speaker 3: campaign made it a referendum about energy policy, they would
- 6:53Speaker 3: have done a lot better. But if people aren't connecting
- 6:58Speaker 3: the spend on renewables with the increase in their energy bills,
- 7:02Speaker 3: because they keep hearing this nonsense about renewables are the
- 7:05Speaker 3: cheapest form of energy, so many think if you invest
- 7:08Speaker 3: more in renewables, your bills would be lower, despite the experience.
- 7:13Speaker 3: Now today, the new Labor Ministry was officially sworn into
- 7:17Speaker 3: office and Anthony Albernizi has demoted factional rival Tania Plyversex,
- 7:22Speaker 3: sending her down the ladder from Environment Minister to Social
- 7:25Speaker 3: Services Minister. He promoted a close ally Senator Murray Watt
- 7:31Speaker 3: tox former position in order to finalize Labour's so called
- 7:35Speaker 3: nature positive reforms. And we've also got a decision on
- 7:39Speaker 3: the thirty four billion dollar Northwest Shelf gas project happening. Patrick,
- 7:46Speaker 3: what do you make of this cabinet? It looks strong.
- 7:49Speaker 3: It's people who are experienced. He's got a lot of
- 7:53Speaker 3: people very loyal to him. It seems like it's going
- 7:56Speaker 3: to be a very disciplined outfit.
- 7:58Speaker 6: Look, Murray, well it's got some challenges walking into that
- 8:01Speaker 6: environment role. He's going to make a decision on the
- 8:03Speaker 6: Northwest Shelf, I think in the next few weeks, and
- 8:07Speaker 6: that's a massive one. Whatever he decides on that, and
- 8:10Speaker 6: whatever government goes with is going to upset a lot
- 8:13Speaker 6: of people because it is so pitched that battle. Look,
- 8:18Speaker 6: it's not surprising that Tanya Plupisek is one of the
- 8:20Speaker 6: big losers, if you like, of the election.
- 8:22Speaker 3: In an internal sense.
- 8:24Speaker 6: She's been demoted and I think look Elbow at the
- 8:27Speaker 6: moment is in a position where he can promote and
- 8:30Speaker 6: demote as he sees fit. He has such a mandate
- 8:32Speaker 6: given the election result, it'll be interesting to see how
- 8:36Speaker 6: those ministers go. But it was all about factional wrangling
- 8:39Speaker 6: and all the rest, which I find it's not necessarily
- 8:42Speaker 6: merit based, which I find disappointing. I mean, these people
- 8:45Speaker 6: are very important that you should have the best person
- 8:47Speaker 6: in each of the best jobs.
- 8:49Speaker 3: Well, talking about merit, there's now talk of quotas being
- 8:53Speaker 3: introduced for the Liberals. Certainly Susan Lee in the past
- 8:57Speaker 3: has promoted quotas gendots. It's funny to be Patrick, we
- 9:02Speaker 3: never talk about other quotas. If you really want to
- 9:04Speaker 3: have a parliament that's representative of the community, you can't
- 9:08Speaker 3: just stop a gender quotas. You would have to have
- 9:10Speaker 3: all sorts of other categories. And we've got what one
- 9:14Speaker 3: point four million Chinese Australians. They're certainly not reflected in
- 9:18Speaker 3: the Parliament and every other innicity and minority group.
- 9:22Speaker 6: Look, I think the Liberals have a massive issue with
- 9:24Speaker 6: women at the moment, putting aside quotas. I don't know
- 9:28Speaker 6: any woman under the age of forty who voted Liberal
- 9:30Speaker 6: to be honest, they did not appeal on any level.
- 9:33Speaker 6: That is a big problem for the Liberal Party.
- 9:35Speaker 3: So I was electing through a quotus is no females going.
- 9:39Speaker 6: I don't think quotas are the way to go, but
- 9:41Speaker 6: it did not feel like a party that represented women's
- 9:45Speaker 6: best interests, especially with the work from home staff. Early
- 9:48Speaker 6: on in that campaign they alienated working mums, working women
- 9:53Speaker 6: in a way that really cost them deeply. So I
- 9:56Speaker 6: don't think quotas are the answer. I agree with you
- 9:58Speaker 6: on that, but they do need to be seen to
- 10:01Speaker 6: be making moves towards appealing to women.
- 10:05Speaker 3: I don't know. I think women will gravitate towards strong
- 10:10Speaker 3: policies like men do. Maybe not in the same numbers
- 10:13Speaker 3: of men, but he actually give them something they vote for.
- 10:15Speaker 3: As we saw with the Voice, they will back you.
- 10:19Speaker 3: Now let's go to the UK briefly, where Labor Party
- 10:22Speaker 3: there has done a massive u turn on a number
- 10:25Speaker 3: of issues, including the country's open borders approach. It seems
- 10:30Speaker 3: that the threat from Nigel Faraja's Reform Party has British
- 10:34Speaker 3: Prime Minister Keir Starma talking like Donald Trump. Look at
- 10:38Speaker 3: what he posted on XCA. He said, if you want
- 10:40Speaker 3: to live in the UK, you should speak English. That's
- 10:43Speaker 3: common sense. So he's insisting on raising English language requirements
- 10:48Speaker 3: and he also posted this. He said, the Tories lost
- 10:51Speaker 3: control of our borders and let net migrations saw to
- 10:55Speaker 3: record levels, undercutting hard working Brits. I won't stand for it.
- 11:00Speaker 3: I promised to restore control and cut migration and I'm
- 11:04Speaker 3: delivering with tough new measures British workers. I've got your back. Patrick.
- 11:09Speaker 3: This is quite astonishing. You got the labor leader in
- 11:12Speaker 3: the UK, someone who was seen as far left by many.
- 11:15Speaker 3: He seems to be more conservative, more right wing than
- 11:19Speaker 3: the Liberal leader in Australia right now.
- 11:21Speaker 6: Look as he was posting those I think the Sun
- 11:24Speaker 6: newspaper in London was reporting that five hundred people had
- 11:27Speaker 6: crossed the English Channel that day, as he was actually
- 11:31Speaker 6: talking tough. And I think there's been twelve thousand people
- 11:34Speaker 6: crossing English Channel in small boats this year, landing in
- 11:38Speaker 6: England seeking refuge and a new life. It's all everyone
- 11:43Speaker 6: to talk tough, but it sounds very little too late,
- 11:46Speaker 6: doesn't it.
- 11:46Speaker 7: Really it.
- 11:49Speaker 3: Does. And it's a matter of whether you actually think
- 11:52Speaker 3: there's any substance behind that retrick, because you don't feel
- 11:56Speaker 3: like labor actually believe any of this. Obviously, reform has brilliantly.
- 12:00Speaker 3: They're doing amazingly in the polls. There was a recent
- 12:03Speaker 3: local elections and by elections where they did very well,
- 12:06Speaker 3: So I think this is a reaction to that. And
- 12:09Speaker 3: isn't it funny that we were told that Trumpian politics
- 12:12Speaker 3: turned off Australian voters when we had a very smaller
- 12:15Speaker 3: liberal policy platform, and you've got Nigel Farage embracing Trumpian politics.
- 12:22Speaker 3: I'm winning in the UK. Now before you go, I've
- 12:26Speaker 3: got an example of the far left attacking itself from within,
- 12:30Speaker 3: this time involving radical feminist influences Clementine Ford and Abby Chatfield,
- 12:36Speaker 3: who have been attacking each other on social media since
- 12:40Speaker 3: late last week. Over the weekend, it all got a
- 12:43Speaker 3: bit too much for Abby Chatfield.
- 12:46Speaker 2: Please stop dehumanizing me.
- 12:50Speaker 3: Please.
- 12:51Speaker 8: You can criticize my content, you can criticize my work,
- 12:54Speaker 8: just I'm begging you to stop lying about my intentions.
- 12:58Speaker 2: I stop saying that I had a personality.
- 13:00Speaker 7: You don't know me.
- 13:06Speaker 3: I just wanted to stop now. The arouse stem from
- 13:12Speaker 3: an article Ford wrote on her blog last week lashing
- 13:16Speaker 3: Chatfield for profiting from the performance of being politically engaged
- 13:21Speaker 3: and presenting herself as a voice of feminists and political authority.
- 13:25Speaker 3: Called called a shallow and so she platformed genocide supporters.
- 13:30Speaker 3: I think she's referring there to Abby Chatfield's interview with
- 13:33Speaker 3: Anthony Alban. Easy Ford then took to other social media
- 13:38Speaker 3: platforms to call Abby Chatfield fake as well as selfish
- 13:43Speaker 3: and ego centric. Patrick, I'll be covering this in more detail.
- 13:47Speaker 3: He left is losing it. But what do you make
- 13:50Speaker 3: of this meltdown? You've got leftist feminist versus leftist feminist.
- 13:55Speaker 6: Well, you've got grand standards colliding with grand standards, don't you.
- 13:58Speaker 6: And I mean I think that language platforming genocide.
- 14:01Speaker 3: Supporters to this hyperbolic that sort of shows.
- 14:04Speaker 6: You where this debate is taking place.
- 14:07Speaker 9: It's all about.
- 14:08Speaker 6: People who are Look, it's about they're playing the man,
- 14:12Speaker 6: I would say, but that's not the right way putting
- 14:14Speaker 6: it instead of playing the issues. Look, they're actually fighting
- 14:17Speaker 6: each other. It's sort of entertaining and quite challenging for
- 14:21Speaker 6: the rest of us. We look at this and what
- 14:22Speaker 6: the hell are you talking?
- 14:23Speaker 3: Well, those young female voters you were talking about, that's
- 14:27Speaker 3: the primary audience. Here and if that's the sort of
- 14:30Speaker 3: politics they're being fed you can kind of understand their
- 14:33Speaker 3: voting passions at Patrick Carline, Thanks for your time tonight.
- 14:37Speaker 3: Joining me now is Women's Forum Australia's head of advocacy,
- 14:40Speaker 3: Stephanie Bastian. Stephanie will start with Susan Lee, interested in
- 14:46Speaker 3: your reaction to her being elevated at two Liberal leadership.
- 14:50Speaker 3: She is the first woman to ever lead the Liberals,
- 14:53Speaker 3: but she has a long history of either being on
- 14:56Speaker 3: the fence or being on the wrong side of major
- 14:59Speaker 3: debate when it comes to the gender issue. Is she
- 15:03Speaker 3: an advocate for women's rights or has she been captured
- 15:07Speaker 3: by the gender idea logues.
- 15:10Speaker 1: Well, there's no indication that she's been captured by the
- 15:13Speaker 1: gender idea logs. But having said that, she's been relatively silent.
- 15:17Speaker 3: On the issues.
- 15:18Speaker 1: She's made no moves to defend women's sex based rights
- 15:22Speaker 1: on every front. She talks a lot about gender and
- 15:24Speaker 1: equality in the workplace, but as far as women and
- 15:29Speaker 1: their right to save sports and change rooms and domestic
- 15:33Speaker 1: balance shelters, she's been relatively silent. I think it's really
- 15:38Speaker 1: important that the Liberal Party doesn't go down the pathway
- 15:40Speaker 1: of quotas. The problem with quotas is that it'll pre
- 15:44Speaker 1: select the right type of woman. The people that are
- 15:46Speaker 1: pushing for quotas have said very little about the women
- 15:48Speaker 1: who are defending women's sex based rights, including the treatment
- 15:51Speaker 1: of moiradeeming, cath thieves, and many others. So I hope
- 15:55Speaker 1: that they avoid that minefield because I think it'll lead
- 15:58Speaker 1: to the destruction of democracy in the Liberal Party.
- 16:04Speaker 3: Or what would happen if we did have a Liberal
- 16:07Speaker 3: party that was even more similar in its character and
- 16:13Speaker 3: its policies to labor. Would that make them more electable?
- 16:18Speaker 3: Are we really going to have the tyranny of group think?
- 16:23Speaker 1: I don't think it'll make them electable at all.
- 16:26Speaker 3: What will make them.
- 16:27Speaker 1: Electable is having policies tackling difficult policies that the public
- 16:31Speaker 1: want to vote for. This election was a referendum on
- 16:34Speaker 1: the cost of living and the way that the debates
- 16:37Speaker 1: went and where the chips fell as they decided that
- 16:40Speaker 1: Albanezi with his five to eight grand cuts on hex
- 16:44Speaker 1: debt and the tax of the tax cuts won the day.
- 16:49Speaker 1: So I think that they actually need to put their
- 16:51Speaker 1: heads together and come up with genuine policies. I mean
- 16:54Speaker 1: Susan was the Deputy leader when they came out with
- 16:57Speaker 1: the work from home policy.
- 16:58Speaker 3: Shouldn't do anything to stop it.
- 17:00Speaker 1: In fact, that policy was drafted by a former senior
- 17:02Speaker 1: Cabinet minister, So having more women there isn't necessarily going
- 17:07Speaker 1: to bring in more female voters.
- 17:09Speaker 3: Or any voters across the board. You actually need good policy. Yep,
- 17:15Speaker 3: it's all about the policies. Now. Let's talk about a
- 17:18Speaker 3: case out of South Australia. Thirteen year old transgender student
- 17:22Speaker 3: that is, a male who claims to be female has
- 17:26Speaker 3: prompted outrage from parents at a private Catholic school in
- 17:29Speaker 3: South Australia after breaking a number of records by huge
- 17:34Speaker 3: margin Stephanie competing in the girls' events at recent sports competitions.
- 17:41Speaker 3: What else can you tell me about this case?
- 17:44Speaker 1: Well, this case has actually shed light on a range
- 17:48Speaker 1: of very concerning issues about the policies from the Department
- 17:51Speaker 1: of Education in South Australia and federally. More broadly, what's
- 17:56Speaker 1: come to light is that they've said that education of
- 18:00Speaker 1: rides the provisions in the Sex Discrimination Act to protect
- 18:03Speaker 1: single sex sports, but under South Australian education policy that
- 18:07Speaker 1: extends to change rooms and bathrooms. Now, this is a
- 18:10Speaker 1: K to year twelve school, so there is the likelihood
- 18:15Speaker 1: there is the risk that there will be situations where
- 18:18Speaker 1: at all school events you'll have senior male men who
- 18:23Speaker 1: are identifying as female students sharing change rooms and bathrooms
- 18:27Speaker 1: with little prep girls. Certainly in a setting where it's
- 18:29Speaker 1: K to year six in that primary campus, twelve year
- 18:33Speaker 1: old boys in year six with preppees. There's a huge
- 18:35Speaker 1: safeguarding issue here, and I think Peter mal Anawskis needs
- 18:39Speaker 1: to come out and explain why this is happening and
- 18:43Speaker 1: what they're going to do to address the issues of
- 18:45Speaker 1: safety for these young children.
- 18:49Speaker 3: And also there has to be some accountability because I
- 18:53Speaker 3: hear from so many parents who've got similar issues, not
- 18:57Speaker 3: just around sport, but just ale bodies in female spaces
- 19:02Speaker 3: and all sorts of indoctrination that they see happening in
- 19:06Speaker 3: their children's school, and they are reluctant to bringing it
- 19:09Speaker 3: forward because they fear a backlash against their child or
- 19:13Speaker 3: their family. They don't want to have that drama. And
- 19:17Speaker 3: I think this is again an issue that so many
- 19:20Speaker 3: parents are grappling with Stephanie, but very few want to
- 19:24Speaker 3: make an official complaint because that comes with all sorts
- 19:27Speaker 3: of consequences.
- 19:30Speaker 1: It certainly does. But more and more are coming out.
- 19:32Speaker 1: I've noticed since Caroline Marx's documentary on sport last year
- 19:37Speaker 1: there has been an increase, whether it was netball in Victoria.
- 19:40Speaker 1: Now the parents are pushing back. This trans student broke
- 19:43Speaker 1: all the records last year and again this year and
- 19:47Speaker 1: now they're speaking out. So there is certainly a move
- 19:49Speaker 1: to speak out more. I'm also very encouraged that our
- 19:53Speaker 1: newest female senator in South Australia, Layer b Life, put
- 19:55Speaker 1: a press release out. She replaced Simon Birmingham when he
- 19:59Speaker 1: retired last year, and she criticized the comments of the
- 20:03Speaker 1: Education Minister in South Australia who defended the inclusion saying
- 20:07Speaker 1: it was more about sport and the inclusion of individuals
- 20:12Speaker 1: than anything else. And she said, well, what about the
- 20:14Speaker 1: expense of you at the expense of the girls losing
- 20:19Speaker 1: out here? And I'm paraphrasing her there. So I think
- 20:22Speaker 1: that there is more and more people are going to
- 20:25Speaker 1: talk back. I've had people reach out since I posted
- 20:27Speaker 1: about it online from other schools, particularly Catholic schools where
- 20:31Speaker 1: this is going on. So I think also the Education
- 20:34Speaker 1: Office needs to start answering some questions about what they're
- 20:37Speaker 1: allowing in their schools.
- 20:38Speaker 3: Too surprising, it's happening at Catholic schools before you go.
- 20:44Speaker 3: The BBC has released a new series called I Kissed
- 20:47Speaker 3: a Boy, which is meant to be about two gay men,
- 20:50Speaker 3: except the actor playing one of them is actually a
- 20:53Speaker 3: transidentified female. The LGB Alliance UK has said that by
- 20:59Speaker 3: doing this, they are telling young gay men watching the
- 21:02Speaker 3: show that they must be attracted to women who are
- 21:05Speaker 3: pretending to be male. That this is regressive, insulting and
- 21:09Speaker 3: homophobic in the extreme. Steph, what's your reaction to that,
- 21:13Speaker 3: because I do see this from many transactivists where they say,
- 21:18Speaker 3: if you're a man and you're not attracted to a
- 21:22Speaker 3: trans woman who is a man identifying as a woman,
- 21:27Speaker 3: then well you're being bigoted. You're almost obliged to be
- 21:31Speaker 3: attracted to somebody who's the opposite gender to who you
- 21:35Speaker 3: would normally be attracted to.
- 21:38Speaker 1: Yes, I think it's actually disturbing that the BBC are
- 21:40Speaker 1: playing into this narrative that you are engaging in some
- 21:43Speaker 1: sort of discrimination if you have a genital preference, which
- 21:47Speaker 1: is what they call it. And I think it's quite
- 21:49Speaker 1: dangerous and it sends a very bad message to young
- 21:53Speaker 1: people who are working through themselves and sorting it out.
- 21:56Speaker 1: They shouldn't have this extra layer of guilt, because Trans writes,
- 22:01Speaker 1: activists want to be over the head and say you
- 22:04Speaker 1: can't choose you know who you're attracted to.
- 22:09Speaker 3: Stephanie Bastian, thank you so much for your time. Tonight
- 22:13Speaker 3: still to come. A lefty is a losing it Plus
- 22:16Speaker 3: a major development in the China US trade Wark Kosher
- 22:21Speaker 3: Gator has the latest. You're watching the Reader Panny Show,
- 22:33Speaker 3: and it's time for lefties losing it And let's check
- 22:36Speaker 3: in with this charming lass. You know she doesn't have
- 22:39Speaker 3: to declare her politics. You know precisely how she votes.
- 22:44Speaker 1: I can help you talk to somebody he didn't you can?
- 22:51Speaker 3: I please call you an ambulance. I do hope that
- 22:58Speaker 3: is satire, but I think just another example of a
- 23:01Speaker 3: lefty losing it. Now to the worst vice president we've
- 23:05Speaker 3: had here is Kamala Harris being Kamala Harris.
- 23:10Speaker 10: And I was just telling somebody recently who did not
- 23:13Speaker 10: we perform free to be you and me? When I
- 23:17Speaker 10: sang about my friend William who's five years old and
- 23:21Speaker 10: wanted adult huggin hole.
- 23:23Speaker 3: I can sing the whole thing. She always seems a
- 23:30Speaker 3: little over refreshed, and we should know. Today is a
- 23:33Speaker 3: special dates, the anniversary of this great speech. The iconic
- 23:39Speaker 3: Coconut Tree speech was shared by Kamala with the world.
- 23:43Speaker 3: It was a gift really two years ago. How time
- 23:47Speaker 3: flies when you're unburdened by what has been.
- 23:51Speaker 10: My mother used to she would give us a hard
- 23:53Speaker 10: time sometimes and she would say to us, I don't
- 23:56Speaker 10: know what's wrong with you, young people. You think you
- 23:59Speaker 10: just fell out of a coconut tree. You exists in
- 24:04Speaker 10: the context.
- 24:05Speaker 3: Now, this is a delicious little clash. Here is Candice
- 24:09Speaker 3: Owen's owning Jason Lee. Let's not complete it with being black.
- 24:14Speaker 3: Otherwise you would have to defend well, there's no there's
- 24:19Speaker 3: no defending crazy. That's crazy because she was a white
- 24:23Speaker 3: woman that says she was black.
- 24:24Speaker 10: Yeah, that's a man saying if you're gonna if you're
- 24:27Speaker 10: gonna say that a man can just be a woman.
- 24:29Speaker 3: Why can't reach dollars or just be black? You gotta
- 24:31Speaker 3: be consistent because she's white. Okay, because it's a man.
- 24:35Speaker 11: No, but.
- 24:37Speaker 3: I get it. I'm right I'm right. No, I don't agree,
- 24:41Speaker 3: and this is not a matter of right or wrong.
- 24:43Speaker 3: But let me let me tell you why isn't Rachel
- 24:47Speaker 3: dollars or black because she's a white woman. Okay, because
- 24:49Speaker 3: it's a male or it's a female. You know, now,
- 24:53Speaker 3: to some alsie lefty losing it actually evolving some looney
- 24:57Speaker 3: left versus looney left hate and hyperbole. Yes, the feral
- 25:02Speaker 3: left is turning on each other with Clementine Ford, who
- 25:06Speaker 3: has in the past posted racial abuse about me and
- 25:09Speaker 3: misogynistic abuse about other female conservatives. Kind of weird for
- 25:13Speaker 3: a supposed women's rights campaign, I wouldn't you think. Well,
- 25:16Speaker 3: she's now turned her attention on fellow far left feminist
- 25:19Speaker 3: simpleton Abby Chatfield, who, when not promoting butt plugs, is
- 25:24Speaker 3: slamming anything to the right of Joseph Stalin. Remember her
- 25:29Speaker 3: very sane, very measured reaction when Donald Trump won in
- 25:33Speaker 3: a landslide.
- 25:34Speaker 2: If you're a woman in Australia and you think the
- 25:36Speaker 2: US selection doesn't affect us, just know they now have
- 25:39Speaker 2: permission to be outwardly sexist.
- 25:43Speaker 12: And support a rapist.
- 25:45Speaker 3: Just know that in your heart. No, but they now
- 25:49Speaker 3: have permission.
- 25:51Speaker 2: They now think they are the majority, and they're so
- 25:53Speaker 2: uneducated that they think that because they're the majority, they
- 25:55Speaker 2: are right. They now have permission to be racist, transfer
- 26:00Speaker 2: they've mission to laugh about reproductive health and reproductive freedom.
- 26:04Speaker 3: Well, if you can believe it, she's more unhinged now
- 26:08Speaker 3: than back then because her fellow leftist feminist mad Greenie
- 26:12Speaker 3: Clementine Ford has criticized her for being shallow and profiting
- 26:18Speaker 3: from the performance of being politically engaged and presenting herself
- 26:22Speaker 3: as a voice of feminist and political authority. That's a
- 26:26Speaker 3: direct quote, strong words, and that had Abby in an
- 26:30Speaker 3: almighty meltdown. This is worse than when Trump won.
- 26:34Speaker 2: Stop lying about my character and my intentions. I get
- 26:40Speaker 2: it enough from Please stop dehumanizing me.
- 26:50Speaker 3: Please.
- 26:51Speaker 8: You can criticize my content, you can criticize my work,
- 26:54Speaker 8: as I'm begging you to stop lying about my intentions.
- 26:58Speaker 2: I stop saying that I had a person now disorder.
- 27:01Speaker 3: You don't know me.
- 27:05Speaker 2: This is so triggering. I just wanted to stop.
- 27:08Speaker 3: Yes, no personality disorder there, and yes you must not
- 27:12Speaker 3: dehumanize those you disagree with. Abby, What good advice if
- 27:16Speaker 3: only you thought of that when you said conservative voters
- 27:19Speaker 3: have no empathy and that it's a good thing that
- 27:22Speaker 3: they're supposedly dying out.
- 27:25Speaker 12: You spoke to Adam Bandt today on the radio show
- 27:28Speaker 12: Thank You, Adam, loved you, love talking to you, And
- 27:31Speaker 12: I really am thinking that or hoping that in the
- 27:36Speaker 12: next like ten to fifteen years, as people who are
- 27:39Speaker 12: voting for Liberal Party literally die out and also like metaphorically.
- 27:45Speaker 3: Die out, literally die out, literally and metaphorically pretty dehumanizing,
- 27:51Speaker 3: I would have thought. But let's get back to this
- 27:54Speaker 3: left b left inspired meltdown, because of course you're the victims.
- 28:00Speaker 3: The victim.
- 28:01Speaker 2: Also, please, when I post about Palestine, stop using that
- 28:05Speaker 2: as a reason to cretect me more and say that
- 28:07Speaker 2: I'm performative or whatever. Please stop discouraging me from posting
- 28:12Speaker 2: about Gaza.
- 28:13Speaker 3: It isn't working.
- 28:14Speaker 2: You're discouraging others, and you're encouraging trolling of me. Please,
- 28:20Speaker 2: Like I, I'm just trying to do what I can
- 28:25Speaker 2: to help.
- 28:27Speaker 8: Like I just I don't understand why she's so out
- 28:32Speaker 8: of it on proving that I'm awful.
- 28:35Speaker 2: I don't get it.
- 28:38Speaker 3: Ah, this pity party did not stop there, and the
- 28:42Speaker 3: heart of it is the accusation from Abby chat Phil
- 28:44Speaker 3: that Clementine Ford is sending her leftist trolls after her.
- 28:49Speaker 3: You know something leftists always do, but though they love
- 28:53Speaker 3: to dish it out, they're not so good at taking it.
- 28:56Speaker 2: Because I'm aware now of someone's spreading malicious lives about
- 28:59Speaker 2: me again and again and again and again and again,
- 29:01Speaker 2: because she claims to throw my intentions on everything, it's
- 29:07Speaker 2: it's I'm scared of her. Please stop, Clementine. I am
- 29:13Speaker 2: begging you to stop. You don't know me at all.
- 29:17Speaker 2: You're a stranger. I deal with so much every single day.
- 29:25Speaker 3: Oh love, you should see what a conservative woman with
- 29:28Speaker 3: a platform deals with every single day, including from the
- 29:32Speaker 3: likes of you and Clementine Ford and your ill informed
- 29:36Speaker 3: hate field, hordes of lifting losers. We don't go crying
- 29:39Speaker 3: about it. And I say this genuinely. If it's affecting
- 29:42Speaker 3: your mental health, then turn off your phone, log off,
- 29:46Speaker 3: go for a walk. Don't do this.
- 29:50Speaker 2: I deal with insults every single day. I do not
- 29:53Speaker 2: need it from you, because you know that when you
- 29:56Speaker 2: say it, you validated people on the left, and you
- 29:59Speaker 2: are encouraging control. You are risking my safety, and you
- 30:01Speaker 2: are faking my mental health. Please stop.
- 30:06Speaker 3: Yes, abuse from the left is another level avvy. But
- 30:10Speaker 3: let's not pretend you're not doing to Clementine Ford precisely
- 30:14Speaker 3: what she's done to you, and that is sending your
- 30:18Speaker 3: ill informed, bio filled fans to troll her. Now, the
- 30:23Speaker 3: fallout from Bernie Sanders disastrous interview with Fox News is
- 30:27Speaker 3: Brett Bauer continues, you know the one where the global
- 30:31Speaker 3: warming hysteric and socialists defended his use of private jets.
- 30:36Speaker 11: The only way you can get around to talk to
- 30:38Speaker 11: thirty thousand people. I think I'm going to be sitting
- 30:40Speaker 11: on a wedding line at United waiting. You know what,
- 30:43Speaker 11: thirty thousand people are waiting. That's the only way you
- 30:45Speaker 11: can get around. No apologies for that. That's what campaign
- 30:48Speaker 11: travel is about. We've done it in the past, We're
- 30:50Speaker 11: going to do it in the future.
- 30:51Speaker 3: Only problem is you're not in campaign mode. There's no election, Bernie,
- 30:56Speaker 3: and you're not the leader of the Democrats or the candidate.
- 31:00Speaker 3: You can line up and united with the rest of them,
- 31:02Speaker 3: and you know you've gone and stuffed up when even
- 31:05Speaker 3: CNN is mocking you tell me what the moment was
- 31:09Speaker 3: in that answer that you thought, oh, this.
- 31:10Speaker 13: Is going wrong. The United thing, you know, because we
- 31:13Speaker 13: all like, you know, you're a man of the people.
- 31:15Speaker 13: How dare I have to be with the people?
- 31:17Speaker 11: Right?
- 31:17Speaker 13: That's what Look, it's a cheap question. It's a smart
- 31:20Speaker 13: alecky question. So it wasn't a serious question.
- 31:22Speaker 3: It was kind of trolley.
- 31:23Speaker 13: But his answer was terrible, Like you can't defend this answer. Hey, buddy,
- 31:27Speaker 13: we all have to stand in line.
- 31:28Speaker 3: We all have to do this.
- 31:29Speaker 13: Even if you have one key privileges, you're still standing
- 31:33Speaker 13: in line.
- 31:33Speaker 3: You still have to do this. You got to go
- 31:35Speaker 3: through security. Definitely came across as like I'm not going
- 31:37Speaker 3: to see Oh, Chuck Todd. He can't help himself. He
- 31:42Speaker 3: has to be a clown. How was that a trolley question?
- 31:46Speaker 3: A socialist taking private jets across the country should not
- 31:50Speaker 3: be held to account. Joining me now for more on
- 31:53Speaker 3: this is Skyneyese contributor Kosher Gata Kosher. That was not
- 31:57Speaker 3: a good performance from Bernie. And what can and pain
- 32:00Speaker 3: is he talking about? I mean, what sort of delusional
- 32:04Speaker 3: situation as he got himself into.
- 32:07Speaker 7: The sweet addiction of private air travel, it's hard to
- 32:10Speaker 7: give up. He's never going to give it up. You know,
- 32:13Speaker 7: we know we're all used to the hypocrisy with the
- 32:15Speaker 7: climate hysterics, as you say, whether it's him or Megan Marko,
- 32:18Speaker 7: Prince Harry al Gore Zogi, or the hypocrisy of socialists
- 32:23Speaker 7: like AOC and him. They just love the trappings of
- 32:25Speaker 7: capitalism and the confident of private air.
- 32:27Speaker 3: So we know that.
- 32:28Speaker 7: But I think the worst part for him was when
- 32:30Speaker 7: you let the mask slip and show the superiority complex, like,
- 32:33Speaker 7: you know, why should I stand in line with the
- 32:35Speaker 7: little people? So and so. Then even Chuck Tad, even
- 32:37Speaker 7: though he tried to throw a lifeline by criticizing the
- 32:40Speaker 7: questioner rat Bear, he had to admit it, as you say,
- 32:43Speaker 7: and he let the mask slip, and we're all here
- 32:45Speaker 7: to see it.
- 32:46Speaker 3: That's it, and it's United. If he's too good for
- 32:49Speaker 3: United it's not like he's getting on Spirit airlines. Not
- 32:52Speaker 3: that I would like to see now a cease fire
- 32:55Speaker 3: of sorts in the tariff flaws between the United States
- 32:58Speaker 3: and China. They have a great to a ninety day
- 33:01Speaker 3: truce and under this new agreement, the US will drop
- 33:04Speaker 3: it's one hundred and forty five percent tariff on Chinese
- 33:08Speaker 3: goods to thirty percent, while China is going to drop
- 33:11Speaker 3: its one hundred and twenty five percent tariff to just
- 33:14Speaker 3: ten percent. This is quite the development kosher.
- 33:18Speaker 7: It is now. It is a stop gap measure because
- 33:20Speaker 7: it's just a ninety day plause, not a resolution, So
- 33:22Speaker 7: we've got a lot of wood to chop. But it's
- 33:24Speaker 7: certainly a climb down back down from one hundred and
- 33:27Speaker 7: forty five plus percent. The thirty percent on China is
- 33:30Speaker 7: higher than historical averages, which used to be about three
- 33:32Speaker 7: percent pre Trump. In his first term he got about
- 33:35Speaker 7: nineteen percent, so it's tougher than that. But he's tying
- 33:37Speaker 7: it up with fentanyl and getting China to address the
- 33:40Speaker 7: fentinel crisis in some way, which is this whole China
- 33:43Speaker 7: wars as much about that as it is about the
- 33:44Speaker 7: trade deficits. So for now, on paper at least, there
- 33:47Speaker 7: seems to be alignment that they will do something about that.
- 33:50Speaker 3: But we shall see. But if we want to have
- 33:52Speaker 3: a significant economic realignment boost American manufacturing in this reliance
- 33:58Speaker 3: on China, particularly in so many crucial supply chains, it
- 34:03Speaker 3: can't be this. It has to be something that is
- 34:05Speaker 3: more impactful long terms. So do you still think that's
- 34:10Speaker 3: going to happen, or are we going to end up
- 34:11Speaker 3: with something similar to this as the long term.
- 34:14Speaker 7: It's a bigment question because there's six hundred billion in
- 34:16Speaker 7: trade between the two countries and he's trying to normalize
- 34:20Speaker 7: that and equalize that. I think we'll have to run
- 34:23Speaker 7: the numbers on if the thirty percent holds and some
- 34:26Speaker 7: of the supply chains recalibrate to Vietnam and other markets,
- 34:29Speaker 7: like what does that do? But I think you're right
- 34:31Speaker 7: that on the surface, to some people it does feel
- 34:33Speaker 7: like a little bit of a leaptown compared to, you know,
- 34:35Speaker 7: where the start was. But it could be that once
- 34:37Speaker 7: you run the numbers and some of those recalibrations happen,
- 34:39Speaker 7: it's moving the needle in the right direction, even if
- 34:41Speaker 7: it's not a full seating grease.
- 34:43Speaker 3: And isn't it funny all those Democrats who are obsessed
- 34:46Speaker 3: about the share market fluctuations and the drops, they're not
- 34:49Speaker 3: so obsessed now, and the share market seems to be
- 34:52Speaker 3: doing quite well now to some wonderful news with the
- 34:55Speaker 3: release of Israeli American Eden Alexander. The twenty one year
- 34:59Speaker 3: old was held hostage by her mass for more than
- 35:02Speaker 3: nineteen months Kosher. The release is seen as a good
- 35:25Speaker 3: will gesture towards the Trump administration in the hopes of
- 35:29Speaker 3: laying the groundwork for a new ceasefire deal. How do
- 35:34Speaker 3: you think that's going to work, because we are hearing
- 35:36Speaker 3: also about a rift between Nesshi Yahoo and the Trump administration.
- 35:42Speaker 7: Also a lot of wood to chop there. I think
- 35:44Speaker 7: it is being pitched as that he was a last
- 35:46Speaker 7: American hostage that was held. To Young's hopeworming footage, it
- 35:51Speaker 7: was fashioned to have him released before a Trump's upcoming
- 35:53Speaker 7: trip to the Middle East. That was done deliberately, so
- 35:56Speaker 7: it's like a good backdrop on the eve of that. However,
- 35:59Speaker 7: there is this rift. There's also a rift in the
- 36:01Speaker 7: Republican Party that's getting deeper about the US's position with
- 36:04Speaker 7: respect to Israel. And there are those who believe, you know,
- 36:07Speaker 7: it's their strongest ally and nothing should be stopping how
- 36:11Speaker 7: much a US gives to support them and this quest
- 36:13Speaker 7: and self preservation and sovereignty. There is another part of
- 36:17Speaker 7: the base that says, you know, you do what you
- 36:18Speaker 7: need to do, but we're not going to keep expending
- 36:21Speaker 7: military power, financial power, and even diplomatic power to support Israel.
- 36:25Speaker 7: And that faction seems to be ascendant and Trump is
- 36:27Speaker 7: really walking a tight rope in that, and then you
- 36:29Speaker 7: overlay on that the personality clashes supposedly between him and
- 36:32Speaker 7: that and Yahoo, it's Dacey, But I do think it's
- 36:35Speaker 7: is stuff in the right direction.
- 36:36Speaker 3: Yeah, we are are at a fascinating point because there's
- 36:40Speaker 3: so many factors at play in Iran is of course
- 36:44Speaker 3: part of that equation, and Iran's exiled Crown Prince, Reza Pavlavias,
- 36:50Speaker 3: slammed Joe Biden and said that Donald Trump's pressure is
- 36:53Speaker 3: the best chance of regime change in Iran. He told
- 36:56Speaker 3: The New York Posts that Biden's reversal of Trump's sanctions
- 37:01Speaker 3: on Tehran emboldened the Islamus leadership. He said, the Iranian
- 37:05Speaker 3: people are trying to send this clear message to the
- 37:08Speaker 3: outside world that if you want a true partner in peace,
- 37:12Speaker 3: it is us who represent the alternative, not this regime
- 37:16Speaker 3: which has taken our country hostage in the first place
- 37:19Speaker 3: forty six years ago and continues to do that. And
- 37:23Speaker 3: it's not just take an Iran hostage, as we've discussed
- 37:26Speaker 3: so many times, Kosher, it's the number one sponsor of
- 37:31Speaker 3: terrorism in the region, and you can't really do anything
- 37:36Speaker 3: meaningful and long term about her mask or whatever's going
- 37:40Speaker 3: to pop up after her mask without addressing the Iranian issue.
- 37:43Speaker 7: And he the exiled prince, was the eldest son of
- 37:46Speaker 7: the last Shavaran before the revolution, so he has important
- 37:49Speaker 7: symbolic power of voice in this and that he represents
- 37:53Speaker 7: that point that the people were very moderate and don't
- 37:55Speaker 7: want this regime that's been presiding over them. It's also
- 37:59Speaker 7: very difficult to top though, because as he said, Biden
- 38:02Speaker 7: emboldened them. That's one thing. Many argue that even George Bush,
- 38:05Speaker 7: with the war, there are more embolden them because it
- 38:08Speaker 7: created this imbalance and allowed Iran to seep out into
- 38:11Speaker 7: the stop gate. At least that Iraq in some way,
- 38:14Speaker 7: not perfectly, but was putting against them. So there's many
- 38:16Speaker 7: things over here. Again, the US is very very wary
- 38:19Speaker 7: of getting involved in any way. I think Trump's favorite
- 38:22Speaker 7: mechanism is economic pressure and sanctions and things like that,
- 38:25Speaker 7: so I do expect to see him go hard on that.
- 38:28Speaker 7: But how much that will bring to bear remains to be seen,
- 38:31Speaker 7: because as the years take by, this regime is getting
- 38:33Speaker 7: more and more powerful, closer to nuclear weapons, and the picture.
- 38:37Speaker 3: Just gets striccier and getting closer to China and Russia.
- 38:41Speaker 3: It is a real balancing act for Trump, in particular
- 38:45Speaker 3: because he was elected on a landslide on America First policies.
- 38:49Speaker 3: They do not want to be involved in every war
- 38:51Speaker 3: around the world, so there isn't an appetite to get
- 38:53Speaker 3: involved in this. But they also have to acknowledge how
- 38:58Speaker 3: destabilizing Irani and as it's becoming more emboldened, particularly with
- 39:02Speaker 3: its nuclear program. How does he sell this to the
- 39:06Speaker 3: Republican base if he does need to have some sort
- 39:09Speaker 3: of involvement and some sort of investment in regime.
- 39:14Speaker 7: Change, It's a tough one. And regime change is another thing.
- 39:17Speaker 7: It's sort of become a dirty word in the US
- 39:18Speaker 7: because US fingerprints are all over many regime changes or
- 39:21Speaker 7: Vertley and Corvertley in the last half century. So I
- 39:24Speaker 7: think that's a tough one to the extent that he
- 39:26Speaker 7: can describe it as it is stabilizing and that has
- 39:29Speaker 7: repercussions back to things at home as simple as gas
- 39:32Speaker 7: process for instance. Given their role there, or terrorism or
- 39:36Speaker 7: security or things like that, then maybe there's a way
- 39:39Speaker 7: in there. But just a straight up regime changer, it's
- 39:41Speaker 7: going to be a tough one.
- 39:43Speaker 3: Now to the Trump administration's war against big Farma. I'll
- 39:47Speaker 3: have more on this after the break, but kosher. At
- 39:50Speaker 3: its heart, this policy is to ensure these multi billion
- 39:53Speaker 3: dollar companies are not price gouging in the US and
- 39:56Speaker 3: charging exorbitant prices in the US compared to what they
- 40:01Speaker 3: charge elsewhere in the world. RFK Junior was there to
- 40:04Speaker 3: trumpet this policy.
- 40:06Speaker 4: He can't be bought, unlike most of the politicians in
- 40:09Speaker 4: this country, and he is standing here for the American people.
- 40:15Speaker 4: I don't know what you know. There's writers Lord Elizabeth
- 40:18Speaker 4: Warren or Robert Reich or saying that President Trump is
- 40:23Speaker 4: on this side of the olic arcs. There has never
- 40:26Speaker 4: been a president more willing to stand up to the
- 40:29Speaker 4: olck arks than President Donald Trump. And I'm very, very
- 40:34Speaker 4: proud of you, mister President.
- 40:36Speaker 3: He has a point there, Kohar. Trump cannot be bought.
- 40:39Speaker 3: Is the only president who's net worth actually dropped during
- 40:42Speaker 3: his presidency. And I guess that's one of the perks
- 40:45Speaker 3: of biling a billionaire.
- 40:47Speaker 7: That's definitely one of his superpowers. As the kids say,
- 40:50Speaker 7: because pharma is a very, very enriched and well funded industry,
- 40:55Speaker 7: and therefore there's a lot of lobbying dollars it flows
- 40:58Speaker 7: into Washington, and that's made it difficult nut to crack,
- 41:02Speaker 7: and you know he's going to that. The other thing, too,
- 41:04Speaker 7: is this strikes right at the heart of Trump's worldview,
- 41:06Speaker 7: which is the US has been ripped off by other
- 41:09Speaker 7: countries for so long as it relates to trade deficits
- 41:11Speaker 7: and tariffs, as it relates to underwriting security for the
- 41:14Speaker 7: whole world. And this is a big pillar the drugs,
- 41:16Speaker 7: because the US subsidizes drug R and D for the
- 41:19Speaker 7: whole world. All the innovation, all the patents that's very
- 41:21Speaker 7: expensive to attain, happen there. And then just the way
- 41:24Speaker 7: that the global markets ras structure and export laws and
- 41:26Speaker 7: all of that, they sell it ad dirt. Cheap crisis
- 41:29Speaker 7: generics can become available in other countries whereas the US
- 41:32Speaker 7: consumer has to pay three to ten times as much.
- 41:35Speaker 7: And that's what he's trying to undo here. But it'll
- 41:37Speaker 7: be challenged in court and elsewhere, so we shall see
- 41:39Speaker 7: how far it gets.
- 41:40Speaker 3: It's incredible like they even are finding a reason to
- 41:43Speaker 3: complain about this policy. You would think cheaper drug prices
- 41:47Speaker 3: would be something that could embrace like kosher Gaia. Thanks
- 41:50Speaker 3: for your time. Pleasure still to come. Democrats outrage by
- 41:55Speaker 3: the Trump administration taking in white refugees from South Africa
- 41:59Speaker 3: alex dying is up next, Welcome back. Now, President Donald
- 42:14Speaker 3: Trump is taking on Big Farmer by signing an executive
- 42:18Speaker 3: order to lower drug prices in the US.
- 42:22Speaker 9: Starting today, the United States will no longer subsidize the
- 42:25Speaker 9: healthcare of foreign countries, which is what we were doing.
- 42:28Speaker 9: We're subsidizing others' healthcare, and we're no longer tolerate profiteering
- 42:33Speaker 9: and price gouging from Big Farmer. But again, it was
- 42:37Speaker 9: really the countries that forced Big Farmer to do things
- 42:41Speaker 9: at Frankly, I'm not sure they really felt comfortable doing.
- 42:45Speaker 3: And in typical Trump style, you had a hilarious anecdote
- 42:49Speaker 3: explaining how much more Americans pay. Listen to this.
- 42:54Speaker 9: I mean, I'll tell you a story. Friend of mine
- 42:56Speaker 9: who's a business man, very very, very top guy. Most
- 43:01Speaker 9: of you would have heard of him. A highly neurotic,
- 43:04Speaker 9: brilliant businessman, seriously overweight, and he takes the fat shot drug.
- 43:13Speaker 7: Very successful, very rich.
- 43:15Speaker 9: I wouldn't even know how we would know this, but
- 43:16Speaker 9: because he's got comments at President, Could I ask you
- 43:19Speaker 9: a question. What I'm in London and I just paid
- 43:22Speaker 9: for this damn fat drug I take. I said, it's
- 43:25Speaker 9: not working, he said, He said, I just paid eighty
- 43:31Speaker 9: eight dollars and in New York I paid thirteen hundred dollars.
- 43:36Speaker 9: What the hell is going on?
- 43:38Speaker 3: The fat Shot? I love that. Joining me now is
- 43:41Speaker 3: comedian and host of Prime Time with Alex Stott. Alex
- 43:45Speaker 3: the fat Shot. That's what we've got to call a zamepick.
- 43:48Speaker 3: From now on, it has to be the fat Shot.
- 43:51Speaker 14: No, Rita, I love that name, the fat Shot. And
- 43:54Speaker 14: this is a stat that I just read and I
- 43:56Speaker 14: cannot believe it. You know, America spends the most money
- 43:59Speaker 14: on diets and diet fads and GLP one drugs like ozimpic.
- 44:05Speaker 14: Yet Americans still have the fattest biomass of any country
- 44:09Speaker 14: in the world. So it's kind of insane that we
- 44:11Speaker 14: spend the most on diet but also or the fattest country.
- 44:17Speaker 14: Make that makes sense, Rita.
- 44:20Speaker 3: It is crazy. And yet you've got Democrats, You've got
- 44:24Speaker 3: the usual suspects in the media who have raising objections
- 44:29Speaker 3: to this policy. How could you possibly be against Americans
- 44:33Speaker 3: paying lists for pharmaceutical drugs.
- 44:37Speaker 14: No, it's ridiculous Rita. And our healthcare system in America
- 44:41Speaker 14: is so overpriced. That's all people want. We don't want
- 44:44Speaker 14: free healthcare, we don't want to become Canada, but we
- 44:46Speaker 14: want drugs that we can afford because we have to
- 44:49Speaker 14: take them to live. So the idea that these companies
- 44:52Speaker 14: are able to price gouge it needs to stop, and
- 44:54Speaker 14: Donald Trump is putting an end to it. So God
- 44:57Speaker 14: bless Donald Trump for making a prescription pill more affordable
- 45:01Speaker 14: for Americans.
- 45:03Speaker 3: Now, the Trump administration is taking a small number of
- 45:07Speaker 3: refugees from South Africa, and rather than being congratulated for
- 45:11Speaker 3: this act of humanity, the administration is being attacked. Surprisingly,
- 45:16Speaker 3: among those enraged is the activist Bishop Marianne Edgar Budd.
- 45:22Speaker 3: You might remember her. She's the one who lectured President
- 45:24Speaker 3: Trump over his immigration policies on his inaugration day. Well,
- 45:30Speaker 3: the Gateway Pundit is reporting her church is ending its
- 45:34Speaker 3: nearly forty year partnership with the US government to resettle
- 45:37Speaker 3: refugees because the Trump administration is classifying white South African
- 45:43Speaker 3: Afrikanas as refugees refugees that need protection. Alex No, they
- 45:49Speaker 3: do need protection.
- 45:50Speaker 14: I mean, what's happening in South Africa is absolutely horrible,
- 45:53Speaker 14: and so just to see these people that are part
- 45:57Speaker 14: of a church that are you know, their whole ad
- 46:00Speaker 14: is charity, it's meant to help people. But because the
- 46:03Speaker 14: South Africa is having to be white, it's clear why
- 46:05Speaker 14: they don't want to help them. They don't want to
- 46:07Speaker 14: help white people. So it's just a form of reverse racism.
- 46:10Speaker 14: I mean a lot of people want to say the
- 46:12Speaker 14: systemic racism doesn't exist, but I hate to break it
- 46:14Speaker 14: to you, it does exist. In America in the sixties,
- 46:17Speaker 14: it was done against black people, and this modern day
- 46:20Speaker 14: era it's done against white people. And it sounds crazy,
- 46:22Speaker 14: but that's really the world we live in. That is
- 46:25Speaker 14: a refugee because they are white. We have people that
- 46:28Speaker 14: are part of a church that are refusing to help them.
- 46:31Speaker 14: I mean, it doesn't get more racist than that.
- 46:33Speaker 3: And there is just so much evidence of the way
- 46:35Speaker 3: they are persecuted and targeted and why they're in danger
- 46:39Speaker 3: in modern day South Africa. This is not some conspiracy theory.
- 46:44Speaker 3: That's something that has been reported on widely. We've talked
- 46:47Speaker 3: about on this program a number of times. Now. This
- 46:51Speaker 3: is a little more trivial than all that, and I
- 46:55Speaker 3: can't get enough of it, this Bill Belichick Jordan Hudson's story.
- 47:00Speaker 3: Alex I'm among the millions just who can't get enough
- 47:04Speaker 3: of this twenty four year old girlfriend of the legendary
- 47:08Speaker 3: seventy three year old football coach. Well, she fell short
- 47:12Speaker 3: in the Miss Main beauty pageant, placing third, and she
- 47:17Speaker 3: didn't look too happy about it. Alex Well, Rita.
- 47:23Speaker 14: I love when you asked me about American football because
- 47:26Speaker 14: this is a subject that I am an expert on.
- 47:28Speaker 14: In Jordan Hudson, she's twenty four years old, and right
- 47:31Speaker 14: now they're under a lot of scrutiny because it has
- 47:34Speaker 14: been revealed that potentially Jordan Hudson actually met Bill Belichick
- 47:38Speaker 14: and she was nineteen years old, and that's where she
- 47:40Speaker 14: first got his autograph. Of course, the CBS interview to
- 47:43Speaker 14: tried to ask about that, she got flustered and basically
- 47:46Speaker 14: shut down the interview. Now it's also coming out that
- 47:48Speaker 14: there's a famous ring doorbell camera footage, Rita, if you've
- 47:51Speaker 14: not seen it, of Bill Belichick shirtless, and supposedly they've
- 47:55Speaker 14: backtracked this and they figured out that this ring doorbell
- 47:58Speaker 14: footage was taken at one of Jordan Hudson's properties that
- 48:01Speaker 14: now she's able to afford. She has like an eight
- 48:03Speaker 14: million dollar real estate portfolio. So all I'm saying is
- 48:07Speaker 14: Jordan Hudson is probably taking advantage of Bill Belichick. That
- 48:10Speaker 14: is probably obvious. But listen, he's in his seventies. He
- 48:13Speaker 14: wants to be with a young woman. I mean, you know,
- 48:15Speaker 14: there's a price he has to pay for that. But
- 48:17Speaker 14: what I'm worried about Rita. And the last thing I'll
- 48:19Speaker 14: say is, I don't know if he'll ever get to
- 48:20Speaker 14: coach a game at UNC because the University of North
- 48:23Speaker 14: Carolina is not okay with what's happening. And I think
- 48:26Speaker 14: there's a good chance that he loses his job because
- 48:28Speaker 14: of this.
- 48:30Speaker 3: Well, he's destroying his legacy in this, and I hope
- 48:33Speaker 3: he's having a good time because it's costing him plenty
- 48:36Speaker 3: and more than just money. Alex Star and it's always
- 48:40Speaker 3: a pleasure. Thanks for your time, And that's it from May.
- 48:43Speaker 3: Up next is Newsnight. I'll see you at eleven tomorrow Night.
