- 0:02Speaker 1: On scoring lids Australia. This is the Reader Panalty Show.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Riata Panety Show. Coming
- 0:11Speaker 2: up tonight, a deep dive into the demographics backing One Nation.
- 0:15Speaker 2: The panel will join me to discuss that and the
- 0:17Speaker 2: day's other top headlines. The UK is about to have
- 0:20Speaker 2: its seventh Prime minister in ten years after Kirs Starmer's resignation.
- 0:25Speaker 2: Andrew E. Bourd will join me to cover that. Kosher
- 0:28Speaker 2: Gator will have the latest from the US, including the
- 0:32Speaker 2: biggest scandal of the century and the world's second most
- 0:36Speaker 2: famous trans woman. Blair White joins the program to speak
- 0:39Speaker 2: about the madness gripping California and Left is losing It
- 0:44Speaker 2: reaches new heights or should that be new Low's. But first,
- 0:57Speaker 2: One Nation has grown its primary vote lead the Labor
- 1:00Speaker 2: as the coalition's vote sinks to record levels. The latest
- 1:05Speaker 2: Capital Brief Demos poll shows One Nation's primary vote up
- 1:09Speaker 2: two points to thirty percent. Labor also arows one point
- 1:13Speaker 2: to twenty seven percent, but as you can see, they're
- 1:16Speaker 2: the coalition dropping five points to eighteen This was the
- 1:21Speaker 2: coalition closer to the Greens than to One Nation. But
- 1:24Speaker 2: what's really interesting is when you take a deeper dive
- 1:28Speaker 2: into the figures and look at those demographics. One Nation,
- 1:31Speaker 2: we are told repeatedly by the media and activist class,
- 1:36Speaker 2: is a party of grievance and it's a party just
- 1:38Speaker 2: for old white men, but the data paints a very
- 1:43Speaker 2: different picture. One Nation is the leading party for women. Yes,
- 1:47Speaker 2: thirty two percent of female voters back One Nation, compared
- 1:51Speaker 2: to just twenty one percent for Labor. The party is
- 1:55Speaker 2: increasing its vote among all sorts of demographics, including people
- 1:59Speaker 2: who speak a foreign language at home. Labour still leads
- 2:03Speaker 2: that category on thirty five percent. One Nation is currently
- 2:06Speaker 2: sitting on twenty one percent, ahead of the Coalition on sixteen.
- 2:10Speaker 2: One Nation is also the leading party for those who
- 2:14Speaker 2: own their home outright and those who are paying off
- 2:16Speaker 2: a mortgage. Among renters, it is even One Nation and
- 2:21Speaker 2: Labor are both sitting on twenty nine percent. Now, if
- 2:24Speaker 2: we had a first past the post system like the UK,
- 2:28Speaker 2: One Nation would be sitting pretty that may be winning
- 2:30Speaker 2: quite comfortably, But we have a unique preferential system in
- 2:34Speaker 2: this country, and so if these poll numbers were replicated
- 2:38Speaker 2: at an election, the seat results would fall within these
- 2:42Speaker 2: following categories. Let's have a look at labor. Labor would
- 2:46Speaker 2: be winning somewhere between seventy one to eighty one seats.
- 2:50Speaker 2: One Nation would win fifty four to sixty three seats
- 2:53Speaker 2: and the Coalition only four to eleven seats. Joining me
- 2:58Speaker 2: now for more on the This is News COURPS senior
- 3:01Speaker 2: writer Patrick Carline and Institute of Public Affairs Research fellow
- 3:04Speaker 2: Colleen Harken. Patrick, this is a seismic shift in Australian politics.
- 3:10Speaker 2: It's not some phase the electorate is going through and
- 3:13Speaker 2: a lot in the people in the Coalition and labor.
- 3:16Speaker 2: What I think this is just a little tantrum the
- 3:20Speaker 2: electorate is throwing, yes, but that doesn't seem to be
- 3:22Speaker 2: the case.
- 3:23Speaker 3: Look, there's so much to unpack here, isn't there. I
- 3:25Speaker 3: mean the Coalition is a minor party on those numbers,
- 3:28Speaker 3: one Nation projecting fifty three to sixty four seats. I
- 3:33Speaker 3: mean that is massive. And this has happened what in
- 3:35Speaker 3: eight months, nine months if you Peggett to BONDI or
- 3:39Speaker 3: just before then. I mean, this is cataclysmic in its proportions,
- 3:45Speaker 3: and Labour is struggling to the mainstream. Parties don't know
- 3:48Speaker 3: what how to fight it and I think also it
- 3:51Speaker 3: also goes to the de klin of the activist left.
- 3:54Speaker 3: I mean, if you look at when that poll was taken,
- 3:55Speaker 3: it was last week, it was during Paul and Hansen's
- 3:58Speaker 3: National Press Clubs, which got a lot of coverage and
- 4:01Speaker 3: a lot of criticism from the left, and that criticism
- 4:04Speaker 3: hasn't resonated, hasn't.
- 4:06Speaker 2: No. No, particularly, there's a lot of criticism Colleen about
- 4:09Speaker 2: the monoculture multicultural debate, and again she said something that
- 4:15Speaker 2: a lot of people think and want to be able
- 4:19Speaker 2: to say without being attacked, which is, we have Australian
- 4:24Speaker 2: values and we want to have one dominant Australian culture.
- 4:27Speaker 2: You can have people from all sorts of ethnicities. We're
- 4:30Speaker 2: a multi ethnic society, but having a monoculture is not
- 4:35Speaker 2: something that's a fringe opinion.
- 4:37Speaker 4: No, it's not at all. And I think that seventy
- 4:39Speaker 4: five thousand people donating to the five a Lie campaign
- 4:43Speaker 4: just sort of it just frames that is the common
- 4:46Speaker 4: view that people are very welcoming country. Ethnicity is fantastic,
- 4:50Speaker 4: but we do have to have a shared culture and
- 4:52Speaker 4: whatever values are. I think the other thing interesting component
- 4:55Speaker 4: of that particular survey was that it did ask the
- 4:58Speaker 4: question about with if Tony Abbott was the leader of
- 5:01Speaker 4: the coalition, would change their vote, and it didn't at all.
- 5:04Speaker 4: So I think it shows that the one nation vote
- 5:07Speaker 4: is not a protest vote.
- 5:08Speaker 2: It's not even a swinging vote anymore.
- 5:10Speaker 4: It's sticking.
- 5:11Speaker 2: A lot can happen, of.
- 5:12Speaker 4: Course in the time before the elections, but people sort
- 5:15Speaker 4: of seem to be very committed to that pathway.
- 5:17Speaker 2: And that key demographic I pointed at on female voters
- 5:22Speaker 2: that has shocked a lot of people. It's not the
- 5:23Speaker 2: only poll that has shown that. And we do have
- 5:26Speaker 2: this view that female voters are always going to vote
- 5:30Speaker 2: left or would never support a party that's right of center.
- 5:35Speaker 2: But Colleen, again, these figures make that assumption an absolute lie.
- 5:40Speaker 2: That is not the case.
- 5:41Speaker 4: Yeah, completely, And you've had the Coalition for a long
- 5:44Speaker 4: time sort of moving away and too afraid to talk
- 5:47Speaker 4: about some of those things about what is a woman.
- 5:49Speaker 2: And I think that's.
- 5:50Speaker 4: Really resonated that Pauline's taken a very strong stance on that.
- 5:54Speaker 4: The other component of that survey again is the migrants
- 5:59Speaker 4: who don't speak English at home are the greatest supporters
- 6:03Speaker 4: of that monoculture. Comment by Pauline Hanson. So it just
- 6:09Speaker 4: continues to show that the elite and the bureaucracy and
- 6:12Speaker 4: the activists are really out of touch with what the
- 6:15Speaker 4: ordinary mainstream Astonian.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Once, there was a different poll out last week, different company,
- 6:20Speaker 2: I thinkctually it was the nine papers that had commissioned
- 6:22Speaker 2: that pole, and I think they were hoping for very
- 6:25Speaker 2: different results. So that one showed that there was almost
- 6:28Speaker 2: no difference between support for One Nation among those born
- 6:31Speaker 2: in Australia and those born overseas, So first generation migrants
- 6:36Speaker 2: twenty eight percent of them back to One Nation compared
- 6:39Speaker 2: to twenty nine percent of Australian born voters, so almost identical. Again,
- 6:45Speaker 2: that notion that this is some racist party for old
- 6:49Speaker 2: white men is absolutely false. And Colline, before we move
- 6:54Speaker 2: on to the next issue, is it true that you
- 6:56Speaker 2: have joined One Nation? Yes, it is true.
- 6:59Speaker 4: I will confirm that I've been politically active all my life.
- 7:02Speaker 4: I'm interested in good policy for the betterment of our country,
- 7:05Speaker 4: and I'm the kind of person who just put my
- 7:07Speaker 4: hand in and help, So you know, yeah, I've joined wonderful.
- 7:12Speaker 2: Now let's move on to British politics and Prime Minister
- 7:16Speaker 2: Kirs Starmer has announced he will resign well. Donald Trump
- 7:19Speaker 2: told us that almost a day earlier, so thanks for that.
- 7:23Speaker 2: He won an election in a landslide, only to become
- 7:27Speaker 2: the most unpopular British leader ever. His government has suffered
- 7:32Speaker 2: backbench revolts over welfare and spending policies, a tax scandal
- 7:36Speaker 2: which claimed the Deputy Prime Minister's role, Angela Rayna, and
- 7:40Speaker 2: the country is gripped with a cost of living crisis,
- 7:43Speaker 2: a self inflicted energy crisis, and an ongoing illegal immigration crisis.
- 7:48Speaker 2: But kir Starmer seems to be operating in a parallel universe.
- 7:53Speaker 5: I will also give my successor my full unequivocal support,
- 7:58Speaker 5: knowing that they will inherit Britain that is far stronger
- 8:02Speaker 5: and fairer than the wine I inherited two years ago,
- 8:06Speaker 5: but prepared for the challenges I had, but are able
- 8:09Speaker 5: to ensure the Labor Party SECCUS a second term in office.
- 8:14Speaker 2: Just absolutely delusion all if you thinks Britain is in
- 8:17Speaker 2: a better position now than when he became Prime minister.
- 8:20Speaker 2: Nominations for the leadership will open on July nine, and
- 8:23Speaker 2: the process should be completed by the summer recess. Patrick
- 8:27Speaker 2: by September Britain will see its seventh prime minister in
- 8:31Speaker 2: ten years. This is the sort of thing we used
- 8:33Speaker 2: to see in Italy. Now it's the UK that's right.
- 8:37Speaker 3: And look when Keithstarmer got elected back in twenty four
- 8:40Speaker 3: he talked about stabilizing the country and he was going
- 8:44Speaker 3: to reduce crime as you said, and immigration, bring down
- 8:47Speaker 3: energy bills. He did none of them. He failed on
- 8:50Speaker 3: every of his own measures and it just got worse
- 8:53Speaker 3: and worse. And when that judgment he used to give
- 8:56Speaker 3: Mendelssohn the ambassadorship to the US, just bad judgment is
- 9:00Speaker 3: tipped throughout poor leadership and the country really is suffering
- 9:04Speaker 3: for it them and they got more welfare recipients and
- 9:07Speaker 3: written out than taxpayers.
- 9:09Speaker 6: Now.
- 9:09Speaker 2: Reform were quick to post this video to remind you
- 9:13Speaker 2: just who Keir Starmer is.
- 9:16Speaker 7: This is Keir Starmer. You probably know him as the
- 9:19Speaker 7: most unpopular prime minister ever, But did you know he
- 9:24Speaker 7: hounded an innocent British veteran through the courts so ruthlessly
- 9:28Speaker 7: that Sergeant Richie Catsoul tried to take his own life
- 9:31Speaker 7: three times. In two thousand and seven, Starmer went to
- 9:34Speaker 7: court and successfully forced the British government to reopen investigations
- 9:39Speaker 7: into hundreds of our soldiers. One of them was Sergeant Catterault,
- 9:43Speaker 7: who had already been investigated and cleared twice. Now you
- 9:47Speaker 7: may be thinking a man's going to earn a living,
- 9:50Speaker 7: but oh no, Starmer did all this for free. He
- 9:54Speaker 7: hates our veterans so much that the current Prime Minister
- 9:57Speaker 7: of this country sought to ruin the lives of our
- 9:59Speaker 7: soul in court as a hobby.
- 10:02Speaker 3: And it gets worse.
- 10:04Speaker 7: Incredibly, the case against Soje and Catterall relied on a
- 10:07Speaker 7: fabricated document forward to frame British fruits.
- 10:12Speaker 2: That entire video is just so brilliant and really the
- 10:17Speaker 2: legacy of a kre style I don't think is going
- 10:19Speaker 2: to be a strong one. We're going to cross to
- 10:21Speaker 2: the UK to speak to Andrew Eborne about that a
- 10:24Speaker 2: little bit later. But Colleen, there's a lot of lessons
- 10:26Speaker 2: here for Australian political parties, both Labor and the Coalition.
- 10:32Speaker 2: You see what's happened with the Tories very similar to
- 10:34Speaker 2: what we're seeing with the Coalition, and the same with
- 10:37Speaker 2: Labor winning in a landslide, but now on the nose. Yeah,
- 10:41Speaker 2: well that's exactly right.
- 10:42Speaker 4: I mean they won with a landslide in twenty twenty four,
- 10:45Speaker 4: and they squandered all of that goodwill. They did nothing
- 10:49Speaker 4: about the issues that were people worried about that high
- 10:51Speaker 4: Texas regulatory expansion, immigration, cost of living, all of those things.
- 10:57Speaker 4: But I think the real story here, underneath it all,
- 10:59Speaker 4: is this is the rise of the ordinary voter and
- 11:02Speaker 4: what they want prioritized, and it is showing across all
- 11:06Speaker 4: the Anglo sphere where people have just had enough of
- 11:10Speaker 4: an activist agender and they're prioritizing things that matter to
- 11:14Speaker 4: ordinary people.
- 11:17Speaker 2: Now, there was a tense clash during question time yesterday
- 11:21Speaker 2: a question by Independent Emp die Lee about the government's
- 11:26Speaker 2: capital gains tax changes. Well, listen here to the PM's
- 11:32Speaker 2: response to that question.
- 11:34Speaker 8: Prime Minister, the capital gains tax and negative gearing changes
- 11:37Speaker 8: announced in the mad budget were significant and market sensitive measures,
- 11:41Speaker 8: so significant your government has will already walk past of
- 11:45Speaker 8: them back in recent days. Can the Prime Minister give
- 11:48Speaker 8: the House a strong assurance that no government MP or
- 11:51Speaker 8: their close relations used prior knowledge of those changes for
- 11:55Speaker 8: private financial benefits before they were made public.
- 11:58Speaker 2: I'm not particularly happy with that.
- 12:00Speaker 9: Regarding the standing orders, regarding the imputations that was contained
- 12:05Speaker 9: in that question.
- 12:06Speaker 8: The rules are the question can't contain argument, inference, imputation, insults.
- 12:13Speaker 9: It's all there.
- 12:13Speaker 10: She's got a suggestion or an allegation about anyone in
- 12:17Speaker 10: the chamber, she should actually say it what it is,
- 12:20Speaker 10: and preferably say it outside. This isn't a council. This
- 12:24Speaker 10: is a serious parliament.
- 12:26Speaker 8: I think the Prime Minister should have some respect in
- 12:29Speaker 8: the house.
- 12:30Speaker 10: Thanks, miss Speaker. No one's still more for local government
- 12:33Speaker 10: in this house.
- 12:33Speaker 2: And this isn't a counsel, Patrick, referring to Daley's previous role.
- 12:40Speaker 2: That sort of arrogant, dismissive style I don't think is
- 12:44Speaker 2: going to boost the peep's popularity.
- 12:46Speaker 3: No, look, he looked petulant. Didn't he look patronizing?
- 12:49Speaker 2: Answer the question? Yeah, that's right.
- 12:52Speaker 3: I think if you're going to put a question like that,
- 12:54Speaker 3: you probably should bring a bit more evidence with it.
- 12:57Speaker 3: If you're going to throw around mud, make sure it
- 13:00Speaker 3: hits the right place. But his response was certainly very
- 13:03Speaker 3: petulant and sort of almost unbecoming, Like it looked like
- 13:08Speaker 3: he was just unhappy about it. He wanted to talk
- 13:10Speaker 3: about it, and he wanted to go away, and he
- 13:12Speaker 3: was errying in trying to make it go.
- 13:14Speaker 2: And having other people stepping in to run interference as well. Colleague,
- 13:18Speaker 2: why not if it's such an absurd question, if it's
- 13:22Speaker 2: without foundation, just dismiss it, just dismissive answer it, say
- 13:27Speaker 2: it has no foundation, you're just looking for a headline.
- 13:31Speaker 2: You should go away and do some research. And I
- 13:34Speaker 2: think that would have been far more convincing. I mean,
- 13:37Speaker 2: now I think there's something correct.
- 13:39Speaker 4: Now I want somebody to look into it a bit further.
- 13:41Speaker 4: All we had to do was say no, there has
- 13:43Speaker 4: been no sort of interference or anything. This question still
- 13:47Speaker 4: hasn't been answered at all. And I agree with you
- 13:50Speaker 4: Patrick that the sort of patronizing tone in his commentary
- 13:54Speaker 4: too Daily was it's entirely inappropriate. And the other thing
- 13:58Speaker 4: about sort of insults or infra. Anybody who watches Parliament
- 14:01Speaker 4: it's a clown show and they do it all the time.
- 14:04Speaker 4: So taking you know, sort of taking her out on
- 14:06Speaker 4: her own is you know, it's pathetic.
- 14:09Speaker 2: Yeah, it was very precious. Indeed, Now before we go,
- 14:12Speaker 2: let's have a look at this little commercial cartoon from
- 14:18Speaker 2: Pauline Hansen. Again. It's clever, it's funny, it hits.
- 14:21Speaker 9: The mark oh Man.
- 14:23Speaker 1: One Nation have raised millions of dollars with his fire
- 14:25Speaker 1: the Layer campaign, and it keeps going up.
- 14:27Speaker 2: How am I gonna lie my way out of this?
- 14:30Speaker 1: Albo? Have you sit in telling the truth? Telling the truth?
- 14:34Speaker 3: Ey?
- 14:35Speaker 1: I love mass migration. It's destroying everything. I don't care
- 14:38Speaker 1: about your power belt, dear, always a scam. I love
- 14:41Speaker 1: the isis bright because in where Sydney are more important
- 14:44Speaker 1: than national security. I cashed out on all my investment
- 14:47Speaker 1: properties right before I chase the rules. Isn't that convenient?
- 14:50Speaker 1: Isn't it obvious? I've got no idea what I'm doing.
- 14:53Speaker 1: Please fire me, Please stop me before I do any
- 14:56Speaker 1: more damage. Please only stick to the light. What shoulder,
- 15:01Speaker 1: angel albow? Did you just donate as well? It's money
- 15:04Speaker 1: well spent, your liar.
- 15:09Speaker 2: It's just clever, it really is. Patrick and One Nation
- 15:14Speaker 2: on nailing their social media campaign. I've got to say,
- 15:17Speaker 2: whether you love hate them, I'm different to them. Their
- 15:21Speaker 2: social media is so much more clever and edgy than
- 15:25Speaker 2: what you see for the Coalition and Labor.
- 15:27Speaker 9: Look.
- 15:27Speaker 3: It's fast, it's funny, and it's simple, and it engages
- 15:30Speaker 3: people who aren't politically engaged. It actually brings this whole
- 15:35Speaker 3: audience to politics in a way makes politics look like fun.
- 15:40Speaker 3: It looks you know, it's making something funny. And we've
- 15:44Speaker 3: missed that satire, that political satire in Australia a lot.
- 15:47Speaker 6: You have.
- 15:49Speaker 2: We had some satire on our television sets from Australian productions.
- 15:54Speaker 2: Colin Hark and Patrick Carline, thank you so much for
- 15:56Speaker 2: your time. More on the resignation of Kis Starma. Let's
- 16:00Speaker 2: cross now to barrister and UK broadcaster Andrew Ebourn. Andrew,
- 16:06Speaker 2: what's next for the UK? From a distance it looks
- 16:09Speaker 2: like you're going to be replacing one hard lift leader
- 16:12Speaker 2: with another.
- 16:14Speaker 9: Well, it's fascinating, isn't it. And I've been predicting this
- 16:17Speaker 9: for a little while. It's going to be a coronation
- 16:19Speaker 9: rather than a contest, and if you like, I was
- 16:21Speaker 9: confirmed yesterday when the possible contender was Where's Streeting? He
- 16:26Speaker 9: threw his weight behind Andy Burnham. He's branded him now
- 16:30Speaker 9: has Coronation Streeting after our soap opera over here, which
- 16:35Speaker 9: is always interesting. Andy Burnham. If he does become Prime Minister,
- 16:39Speaker 9: and it's looking increasingly likely, I did predict it a
- 16:42Speaker 9: long time ago, he will be the first prime minister
- 16:44Speaker 9: in modern history not to have served either in one
- 16:48Speaker 9: of the great offices of state or as leader of
- 16:51Speaker 9: the opposition. This all came about reating your recall as
- 16:54Speaker 9: a result of the Makerfield by election, a resounding victory
- 16:59Speaker 9: for Andy Burnham. And I say for Andy Burnham rather
- 17:02Speaker 9: than for labor, because labor have been plummeting in the polls.
- 17:07Speaker 9: They were absolutely obliterated in the local elections which we
- 17:11Speaker 9: had here reformed. The turquoise tidal wave dominated everywhere. And
- 17:15Speaker 9: what this is, it's a vote in Hope if you like.
- 17:18Speaker 9: And what's amusing is on the podium you might recall
- 17:22Speaker 9: if you stood up while it's actually Australia is about
- 17:25Speaker 9: your sort of time. Three o'clock in the morning over
- 17:27Speaker 9: here they announced the results and this wonderful chap with
- 17:30Speaker 9: a wonderful bright white suit and also a cowboy hat.
- 17:34Speaker 9: His name is Alan Howling, Lord Hope, and he's the
- 17:38Speaker 9: leader of the Monster Raving Looney Party, and he was
- 17:42Speaker 9: stood next to basically Andy Burnham as the result was announced,
- 17:46Speaker 9: and every time Andy Burnham said Hope, he lit up
- 17:48Speaker 9: and say yes, that's right, it's gonna be good. What
- 17:51Speaker 9: I love about the Monster raving Looney Party. They've been
- 17:53Speaker 9: a satirical party here in the UK for a long time,
- 17:56Speaker 9: founded by Alan and also screaming Lord Such and they've
- 18:00Speaker 9: recently just bestowed on me a great honor. They've called
- 18:03Speaker 9: me Lord Eborn to tie in with the Kings Honor
- 18:06Speaker 9: List and Baron Ebon as well as one of the
- 18:07Speaker 9: glorious other titles. It's a great, great party. But what
- 18:10Speaker 9: it does highlight. What it does highlight is that trust
- 18:14Speaker 9: comes in on foot and leaves on horseback, and trust
- 18:17Speaker 9: in politicians has been at an all time low. They
- 18:20Speaker 9: are really hoping now that Andy Burnham will turn it around.
- 18:25Speaker 2: Well, his could be the seventh Prime minister you've had
- 18:29Speaker 2: in ten years, so looking like some banana republic over there.
- 18:35Speaker 2: But on Kirstama, what will these legacy be?
- 18:39Speaker 9: Well, it's about U turns. I think it's what he's
- 18:42Speaker 9: going to be remembered for most is the reality had
- 18:45Speaker 9: more U turns than plumbers. I always say, gave you
- 18:48Speaker 9: Benz And the latest U turn was just a few
- 18:50Speaker 9: hours previously, on the Friday, he was saying, after the
- 18:54Speaker 9: result of the Makerfield by election, no I will stand
- 18:57Speaker 9: and if there's a contest, I will fight it. A
- 19:00Speaker 9: few hours later, he did yet another U turn, his
- 19:03Speaker 9: final one saying well, look, I recognize that the party
- 19:05Speaker 9: doesn't want me anymore. And I felt a bit sorry
- 19:07Speaker 9: for him. I don't know if you saw his podium speech,
- 19:10Speaker 9: but it's how the Mightier fallen, and it was reminiscent.
- 19:14Speaker 2: He did. It was.
- 19:20Speaker 9: And there were genuine tears.
- 19:21Speaker 1: You know.
- 19:22Speaker 9: He talked about his family and now having served the
- 19:24Speaker 9: nation that he loves, he's going to put to his
- 19:27Speaker 9: family first, his lovely wife and his family. He's going
- 19:30Speaker 9: to be the greatest dad that ever there was. And
- 19:33Speaker 9: it's sometimes quite sad. I don't know about you, Rita,
- 19:35Speaker 9: but it's always a fit. When people are very tough
- 19:37Speaker 9: and thicker skinned on the outside, when they cry, it
- 19:40Speaker 9: gets you go. It's like Maggie Thatcher you might remember,
- 19:43Speaker 9: showing it's a small world, but she felt betrayed. I
- 19:46Speaker 9: think Keir Starmer felt betrayed as well. All of his
- 19:48Speaker 9: close allies. As soon as you hear people say, oh,
- 19:51Speaker 9: we stand behind him, absolutely stand behind him. He put
- 19:54Speaker 9: the knife in his back.
- 19:57Speaker 2: Well, yes, sir, got A said, I don't feel terrible
- 20:00Speaker 2: sorry for him. I think those tears were for himself,
- 20:03Speaker 2: not for his country, and not even for the party.
- 20:06Speaker 2: And at the end of the day he couldn't even
- 20:08Speaker 2: announce his own resignation. Donald Trump told the world hours earlier.
- 20:12Speaker 2: But before you go, we've got Reform leader Nigel Faraj
- 20:15Speaker 2: calling for a general election. Yes, is that what's really
- 20:20Speaker 2: needed in the interest of democracy rather than having this
- 20:24Speaker 2: dude installed as prime minister.
- 20:27Speaker 9: Well, you're a dude as prime minister. You're absolutely right that.
- 20:30Speaker 9: The reality is this is that the electric feel cheated
- 20:33Speaker 9: if you like, they say, look, we want to pick
- 20:35Speaker 9: who's going to be our prime minister. Throughout history in
- 20:38Speaker 9: recent times, as you say, this will be our seventh
- 20:40Speaker 9: prime minister. The electorate haven't really had a chance to
- 20:43Speaker 9: pick most of those. It's been sort of handed to
- 20:46Speaker 9: them internally. But the reality is this that party politics
- 20:49Speaker 9: over in the UK, you vote for a political party,
- 20:52Speaker 9: that's what the people would say, rather than individuals. And
- 20:55Speaker 9: the political party that won the election was the Labor Party.
- 20:58Speaker 9: So like it or lump it is what they're going
- 20:59Speaker 9: to say. I would say, watch this space. Party politics
- 21:03Speaker 9: is going to take second place to basically personalities. And
- 21:07Speaker 9: Andy Burnham I've met him a lovely guy. Actually, he
- 21:10Speaker 9: is much more of a personality than Keir Starmer, and
- 21:13Speaker 9: politics around the world is dominated by those personalities rather
- 21:16Speaker 9: than policies. You look at Trump, you look at previously
- 21:19Speaker 9: people like Boris Johnson, who was they called him a
- 21:22Speaker 9: Heineken Prime Minister because he could reach parts of the
- 21:24Speaker 9: electorate that nobody else could reach. He then became this
- 21:27Speaker 9: marmite character where you either love or hate him or vegiemite,
- 21:30Speaker 9: as you would say down under. It's an interesting time.
- 21:33Speaker 9: You've got to watch this space.
- 21:35Speaker 2: Andrew Borne. It's always a pleasure. Thank you so much
- 21:38Speaker 2: for your time tonight.
- 21:39Speaker 9: Lovely to see you, see you next time.
- 21:41Speaker 2: Coming up, Lefty's Losing Ed plus the latest from the US,
- 21:45Speaker 2: including the biggest scandal of the century. I'll be joined
- 21:49Speaker 2: by Kosher Gaida. Next. You're watching the readA Panney Show
- 22:02Speaker 2: and it's time for left He's losing It. Let's check
- 22:06Speaker 2: in on some Juneteenth nonsense. Here is Virginia Governor Abigail
- 22:12Speaker 2: span Berger turning up the cringe.
- 22:25Speaker 10: God.
- 22:26Speaker 2: Not to be outdone, here is Democrat Senator Jean Shaheen
- 22:31Speaker 2: doing whatever this is. Did you see that sign for
- 22:42Speaker 2: the leftist marching band. The Left managed to ruin everything,
- 22:47Speaker 2: but a cringe first wouldn't be complete without our favor
- 22:51Speaker 2: cringe Queen Kamala unlike the other two, at least she
- 23:06Speaker 2: can dance. She knows how to move. Now to New
- 23:08Speaker 2: York City, where Knicks fans continue to disgrace themselves, even
- 23:13Speaker 2: as World Cup crowds show them how you can celebrate
- 23:17Speaker 2: without violence or destruction. But some Knicks fans can't help themselves,
- 23:23Speaker 2: even stealing Mamdani's special bins gross, gross, and disgraceful. And
- 23:37Speaker 2: there were these two classy lasses that were lucky to
- 23:41Speaker 2: escape without serious injuries. Charming staff and I say the
- 23:56Speaker 2: worst for last see what happened next? And I've warned
- 24:00Speaker 2: you this video contains aerial twerking. Oh now to one
- 24:14Speaker 2: of the biggest scandals of the century, the origins of
- 24:17Speaker 2: the COVID pandemic. And on her very last day as
- 24:21Speaker 2: Director of National Intelligence, Toulsy Gabbert declassified never before seen
- 24:26Speaker 2: documents exposing the truth about Anthony Fauci and the role
- 24:30Speaker 2: he played in directing millions of US taxpayer dollars to
- 24:34Speaker 2: fund dangerous gain of function research at the Wuhan Lab.
- 24:38Speaker 2: And how with the help of the intelligence community, he
- 24:41Speaker 2: suppressed the.
- 24:42Speaker 11: Truth before the COVID pandemic. Doctor Fauci, as head of
- 24:46Speaker 11: the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, provided millions
- 24:50Speaker 11: in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain of function
- 24:54Speaker 11: research on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology,
- 25:00Speaker 11: work which is now widely viewed as the source of
- 25:03Speaker 11: the unintentional lablik that sparked the pandemic. I'm releasing never
- 25:08Speaker 11: before seen communications and documents that expose exactly how Fauci
- 25:13Speaker 11: worked with politicized career leadership in the intelligence community to
- 25:18Speaker 11: suppress the truth about his actions the virus' lablik origins,
- 25:23Speaker 11: and his role in directing US funding for this dangerous
- 25:27Speaker 11: research that caused immeasurable harm and countless lost lives. Now
- 25:32Speaker 11: these documents exposed Fauci's direct role in influencing and manipulating
- 25:37Speaker 11: IC assessments on COVID nineteen, and how Fauci lied to
- 25:42Speaker 11: Congress in twenty twenty four when under oath he denied
- 25:46Speaker 11: knowledge of or participation in discussions with intelligence officials about
- 25:51Speaker 11: viral research. We also received testimony from multiple intelligence community
- 25:56Speaker 11: whistleblowers who reported retaliation for challenging the intelligence community's manipulation
- 26:02Speaker 11: of intelligence on the virus's origins, once again revealing a
- 26:07Speaker 11: clear pattern of suppressing dissent, silencing critics, and burying the truth.
- 26:13Speaker 2: Just astonishing revelations there. Now, let's go back to the
- 26:18Speaker 2: COVID era and remind ourselves of the manner in which
- 26:21Speaker 2: Fauci was a line I celebrated by the media, and
- 26:25Speaker 2: the manner in which anyone who asked any pertinent questions
- 26:29Speaker 2: was demonized.
- 26:30Speaker 11: Doctor Anthony Fauci has saved.
- 26:32Speaker 8: Millions and millions of lives.
- 26:35Speaker 12: He has served his country for more than half a
- 26:38Speaker 12: century in public service.
- 26:39Speaker 11: He became the pandemic's public face, appearing in briefings in magazines.
- 26:44Speaker 10: Here's doctor Anthony Fauci.
- 26:48Speaker 2: On late night shows.
- 26:49Speaker 13: He of course, started out a sort of national hero
- 26:52Speaker 13: to all at the beginning of the COVID pandemic and
- 26:55Speaker 13: has morphed into a villain for half of the country.
- 26:58Speaker 2: They tried to turn Anthony Fauci into doctor frankenshid.
- 27:02Speaker 8: Doctor Anthony Fauci the grilling house Republicans gave him over
- 27:05Speaker 8: the COVID pandemic and what he gave them back in.
- 27:07Speaker 2: Return, Doctor Anthony Fauci on defense and dismissing claims he
- 27:11Speaker 2: played any poet in a suggested cover up of COVID origins.
- 27:15Speaker 2: Now you think the release of these never before seen
- 27:18Speaker 2: documents would be leading the news for days, but alas
- 27:23Speaker 2: many in the media did not cover the scandal at
- 27:26Speaker 2: all that would require them to admit they were jupped
- 27:29Speaker 2: or complicit in the cover up. This is the same
- 27:32Speaker 2: media that attacked anyone who questioned the approved narrative, even
- 27:37Speaker 2: world leading experts like Martin Koldorf and doctor j Battacheria.
- 27:42Speaker 2: Joining me now is Sky News contributor Kosher Gaida Kosher
- 27:46Speaker 2: am I overstating the significance of this scandal. This was
- 27:49Speaker 2: a pandemic that caused enormous suffering across the globe, and
- 27:54Speaker 2: we would like to deliberately like to and misled.
- 27:58Speaker 6: I don't think it can be overstated enough. This was
- 28:01Speaker 6: gigantic proportions, not only the origin story that they covered up,
- 28:04Speaker 6: as you showed there, but then everything that laid the
- 28:07Speaker 6: groundwork for thereafter that followed. And it was the biggest
- 28:10Speaker 6: roll up of power in modern human history. Courts were suspended, schools,
- 28:15Speaker 6: were closed, kids missed out on education, playgrounds were taped,
- 28:18Speaker 6: and you're a bad person if you wanted to visit
- 28:20Speaker 6: your parents in age care or walk your daughter down
- 28:23Speaker 6: the aisle or anything like that. There was so much
- 28:25Speaker 6: of a moralizing that God applied on top of it,
- 28:27Speaker 6: and the root of much of that is this Fauci.
- 28:30Speaker 6: Anthony Fauci was the face of it. He certainly has
- 28:33Speaker 6: become a very, very polarized figure because I think people
- 28:36Speaker 6: do understand this, even if they don't keep up with
- 28:38Speaker 6: the details or the media won't cover Tolci Abbat's release
- 28:41Speaker 6: over here. But the real question is not what will
- 28:44Speaker 6: there be any accountability? Will the DOJ bring action against him?
- 28:48Speaker 6: He's in his eighties. To many, he is a sympathetic figure,
- 28:51Speaker 6: so there will be media blowback if they do that.
- 28:54Speaker 6: But this DJ does tend to choose pick and choose
- 28:57Speaker 6: strategic pieces poetry.
- 28:58Speaker 2: As Will suggested, he's deliberately lied and misled, even under oath.
- 29:04Speaker 2: When questioned about this, then I don't care if he's
- 29:07Speaker 2: ninety five. He needs to be charged and behind bars.
- 29:10Speaker 2: If he's guilty of what's being.
- 29:12Speaker 6: Charged, justice should be blind. But we know the games
- 29:14Speaker 6: of media will play and try to turn him into
- 29:16Speaker 6: a sympathetic figure, which is not, but certainly half the country,
- 29:19Speaker 6: if not more so. That is I think what everybody's
- 29:21Speaker 6: waiting to see. Will he be held accountable? Will anybody
- 29:24Speaker 6: really have any significance to be held accountable, because they
- 29:26Speaker 6: have not so far.
- 29:28Speaker 2: Now, whilst the leftist media didn't report much or anything
- 29:32Speaker 2: about revelations on the origins of the COVID pandemic, they
- 29:35Speaker 2: have been obsessively reporting about issues surrounding the Reflecting Pool.
- 29:41Speaker 2: But there is one key part of that story they're
- 29:43Speaker 2: not keen to cover.
- 29:45Speaker 12: In fact, I spoke with the National Park Service just
- 29:48Speaker 12: before joining the show. They now have seventeen police reports
- 29:51Speaker 12: that have been filed in just the matter of a
- 29:53Speaker 12: few days. There's actually been six arrests at the Reflecting
- 29:57Speaker 12: Pool where again, these deranged individuals, many of them longtime
- 30:01Speaker 12: donors to the Democrat Party, to Barack Obama, to Act Blue,
- 30:05Speaker 12: that have been vandalizing and desecrating our federal monument Kosher.
- 30:09Speaker 2: We've had protesters applied some footage last night, protesters chanting
- 30:14Speaker 2: about the right of algae to exist. I mean, these
- 30:16Speaker 2: people are demented. And now we've got cases of alleged sabotage.
- 30:21Speaker 6: Yes, the first one you can say is cute that
- 30:23Speaker 6: they're trying to be equal opportunity offenders across the plant
- 30:26Speaker 6: kingdom from top to bottom. But vandalizing is part of
- 30:29Speaker 6: their playbook. You know, we saw them when I say
- 30:31Speaker 6: them broadly, these types of characters burning Tesla's, throwing cake
- 30:36Speaker 6: on the Mona Lisa at the louver. These are protesting
- 30:39Speaker 6: climate change or whatever their cause of the day was.
- 30:41Speaker 6: So these are tactics that they do to gain attention.
- 30:44Speaker 6: And the flip side of that is there are never
- 30:46Speaker 6: consequences usually, which is why they get away with it.
- 30:49Speaker 6: A lot of them seem to be quite young and
- 30:51Speaker 6: maybe unaware of what real consequences look like. So similar
- 30:54Speaker 6: to the last topic, if this DOJ actually holds people accountable,
- 30:58Speaker 6: even if it's one or two to make an exam,
- 31:00Speaker 6: that should serve hopefully as a deterrent against us, because
- 31:03Speaker 6: otherwise this is just wasting everybody's time and wasting precious
- 31:06Speaker 6: police resources.
- 31:07Speaker 2: And the money that went into fixing the reflective was
- 31:10Speaker 2: so minimal in the scale of things. It was what
- 31:13Speaker 2: around twenty million from memory when previous estimates were in
- 31:18Speaker 2: the hundreds of millions, and yet they are so desperate
- 31:21Speaker 2: to say this money was squandered, that this project didn't
- 31:27Speaker 2: achieve what it's set out to achieve. It seems like
- 31:29Speaker 2: such a micro issue that they're blowing up when there's
- 31:33Speaker 2: real issues and what we spoke about earlier with these
- 31:37Speaker 2: COVID revelations and the lack of reckoning that's happened there,
- 31:41Speaker 2: You would think the media would be a little bit
- 31:43Speaker 2: more curious about that.
- 31:44Speaker 6: Yeah, they just can't handle when to this administration. And
- 31:47Speaker 6: also maybe they don't like beauty. That's something Spencer Pratt
- 31:50Speaker 6: used to say, met Los Angeles beautiful again. So there's
- 31:53Speaker 6: a little bit of that too, that if you make
- 31:54Speaker 6: things clean and beautiful and functional and orderly, somehow it doesn't.
- 31:58Speaker 2: See kosher narrative. Apparently that's right now. There is an
- 32:03Speaker 2: investigation into Major League Baseball by the United States Department
- 32:08Speaker 2: of Justice, and they're investigating possible discrimination against four San
- 32:12Speaker 2: Francisco Giants players who wrote Bible verses on their hats
- 32:17Speaker 2: during the team's Pride Night games. So, Kosho, you got
- 32:21Speaker 2: major League Baseball, very political body encouraged players to where
- 32:25Speaker 2: black lives matter on their uniform, but they want to
- 32:28Speaker 2: find or threaten to find Christians who write Bible verses
- 32:33Speaker 2: on their hats.
- 32:34Speaker 6: They're definitely in hot water on this one. Hamid Dillon,
- 32:36Speaker 6: who heads up the Civil Rights Division, promptly is probing
- 32:41Speaker 6: into this under Title seven, which is employment discrimination based
- 32:45Speaker 6: on your religious rates or religious beliefs. I believe the
- 32:49Speaker 6: update is there are sort of backing backtracking on that
- 32:52Speaker 6: a little bit because it's created quite the firestorm. But
- 32:55Speaker 6: it feels also a little bit like whack a mole,
- 32:56Speaker 6: where even if you fight the culture war and you're
- 32:58Speaker 6: winning in this key or in cases here and there,
- 33:01Speaker 6: something else in the culture pops up and these big
- 33:03Speaker 6: institutions always seem to just get a little bit of
- 33:06Speaker 6: their ware. You fight back once and then there's two
- 33:09Speaker 6: more of that pop up tomorrow.
- 33:10Speaker 2: But at least there is a fight back of sorts.
- 33:13Speaker 2: Because we're not seeing this sort of fight back in
- 33:15Speaker 2: the UK, we're not seeing it in Australia. So to
- 33:17Speaker 2: see it in the US, even if it is not
- 33:21Speaker 2: across the board, it's good to say. And you're right,
- 33:24Speaker 2: there has been a development in the case, and it's
- 33:26Speaker 2: a Josh Wholly posted earlier today that the Major League
- 33:30Speaker 2: Baseball Commissioner wrote to him and admitted they were wrong
- 33:34Speaker 2: to threaten the Giants' players over Bible versus, and he
- 33:38Speaker 2: has promised never to find or discipline these players or
- 33:41Speaker 2: any players for their religious beliefs. And that's how you
- 33:46Speaker 2: fight the culture wars. You actually turn up to the fight.
- 33:48Speaker 6: Yes, and at least that statement is there and it
- 33:50Speaker 6: can be pleed back if he ever does it again.
- 33:53Speaker 6: But it also is exposing even if you don't whenever fight,
- 33:56Speaker 6: it is exposing the hypocrisy, whether it's BLM, as you
- 33:59Speaker 6: mentioned this whole idea that they're doing a pride month.
- 34:01Speaker 6: We'll never forget taking the knee, all of those things
- 34:04Speaker 6: that went global. And it was quite clever of the
- 34:06Speaker 6: players actually to put Bible versus, which are literally expressions
- 34:09Speaker 6: of religious belief on the caps, because that opened the
- 34:12Speaker 6: door for this legal avenue.
- 34:14Speaker 2: And we've seen similar dynamic here in Australia. We've got
- 34:18Speaker 2: devout Christians in the National Rugby League and they've got
- 34:21Speaker 2: pride games and there's mixed feelings amongst those players, but
- 34:27Speaker 2: they're too worried about penalties and a backlash from authorities
- 34:32Speaker 2: if they take a stand now, we've got more details
- 34:35Speaker 2: kosher about the terror plot that was targeting the UFC
- 34:39Speaker 2: Freedom to Fifty event at the White House. ABC reports
- 34:43Speaker 2: a series of phone calls from a concerned mother helped
- 34:46Speaker 2: set in motion what turned out to be a nationwide
- 34:49Speaker 2: investigation that ultimately uncovered the alleged mass casualty plot. Now
- 34:54Speaker 2: before the news was released, before we knew there was
- 34:57Speaker 2: a terror plot, Joe Rogan was at the event with
- 35:01Speaker 2: the President, and he asked the President about the risk
- 35:04Speaker 2: of an attack. This is what they heard back.
- 35:07Speaker 5: I said Trump, I hope we don't die in a
- 35:08Speaker 5: terrorist attack. Goes.
- 35:09Speaker 6: We got to go somehow.
- 35:14Speaker 7: Everyone remember it for the rest of a.
- 35:19Speaker 2: We have to go somehow. But that's rather cavalier, particularly
- 35:23Speaker 2: from a man who's already had what three assassination attempts.
- 35:28Speaker 2: At least maybe he thinks its bulletproof now.
- 35:30Speaker 6: Right, or that's kind of the point. Spoken like a
- 35:33Speaker 6: true great fun spoken like a true person who has
- 35:37Speaker 6: dodged three, maybe four assassination attempts, that he has this
- 35:41Speaker 6: sort of bigger, higher perspective. He's certainly led a remarkable
- 35:45Speaker 6: life by any standard. Even the people who hate him
- 35:48Speaker 6: would have to admit to that, and he's he said
- 35:50Speaker 6: that there, but I don't think Joe Rogan appreciated it clearly.
- 35:53Speaker 2: No, I don't think Joe Rogan was ready to go.
- 35:56Speaker 2: Though there was a UFC fighter who was being interviewed
- 35:59Speaker 2: it was also are raring to go. So yeah, they
- 36:02Speaker 2: are different breeds. Now there are reports the Trump administration
- 36:06Speaker 2: will limit access to certain MAGA influences amid fears some
- 36:11Speaker 2: may be taking money to post social media content from
- 36:15Speaker 2: the White House, social media content aimed at shifting opinions
- 36:19Speaker 2: on key issues. Kosher Daily Mail reports the White House
- 36:24Speaker 2: his monitoring signs that influences may have been paid off
- 36:27Speaker 2: by domestic or foreign lobbies to target the president and
- 36:31Speaker 2: his supporters. I mean, this is a big deal. If
- 36:34Speaker 2: they can establish that, they can be quite stiff penalties,
- 36:37Speaker 2: not just having your access to the White House cut.
- 36:40Speaker 6: It is very interesting because there is this far out
- 36:43Speaker 6: the law that requires you to register as a foreign agent,
- 36:46Speaker 6: and if it's straight up, you're taking your lobbying firm
- 36:49Speaker 6: taking money, and it's clear and that's sort of the
- 36:51Speaker 6: old fashioned way of doing it. They do register, for
- 36:53Speaker 6: the most part, not all of them do, which has
- 36:55Speaker 6: always been a controversial topic, just how you define it.
- 36:58Speaker 6: Now it's moving to the realm of being a poster
- 37:00Speaker 6: on social media and influencer, which is a whole new arena,
- 37:04Speaker 6: and the statutes may not exactly capture that. So it's
- 37:06Speaker 6: interesting territory with it. And I also thought it was
- 37:09Speaker 6: interesting that those needs that the Daily Mail is reporting
- 37:11Speaker 6: are conservative podcasters. So there's, as we know, a civil
- 37:15Speaker 6: war going on on a few issues, certainly the Israel
- 37:18Speaker 6: issue in the war, and that's coming into focus maybe
- 37:21Speaker 6: others as well. Epstein files we've talked about many times,
- 37:23Speaker 6: and you do see sometimes in lockstep exactly long as
- 37:26Speaker 6: Ribatam the same post showing up on different accounts, So
- 37:29Speaker 6: at least there seems to be coordination, even if they
- 37:31Speaker 6: can't prove foreign money coming in. So I think the
- 37:34Speaker 6: story is going to continue to develop, and it's quite interesting.
- 37:37Speaker 2: Now before you go, you're right, there is a split
- 37:40Speaker 2: amongst those conservative commentators podcasters, but there's also reportedly a
- 37:46Speaker 2: split between members of the Trump administration when it comes
- 37:49Speaker 2: to the issue of Israel and how to handle this
- 37:51Speaker 2: war with the Iranian regime. We've seen the Vice president
- 37:56Speaker 2: spearhead the negotiations. He delivered a very well unequivocal message
- 38:01Speaker 2: to Israel about attacking the president and not being grateful
- 38:06Speaker 2: for the assistance that he has provided thus far. Rubio
- 38:09Speaker 2: is said to be in a different camp. How do
- 38:12Speaker 2: you see that? How do you see that out folding?
- 38:15Speaker 2: Because these two are the front runners to be the
- 38:17Speaker 2: next presidential candidate for the Republicans, and on this key
- 38:21Speaker 2: issue they are on different sides.
- 38:23Speaker 6: They sure are, and it's interesting because they're personifying that division,
- 38:27Speaker 6: that clear division that's only gotten more and more storic.
- 38:29Speaker 6: In the camp, Rubio in a way has shifted a
- 38:32Speaker 6: little bit slightly more populist than where he was before.
- 38:36Speaker 6: He was very establishment day when he joined. They say
- 38:38Speaker 6: how little Marco became big Marco. He's sort of like
- 38:41Speaker 6: become the basis, become fond of him. And then on
- 38:43Speaker 6: the flip side, JD. Vunce was in a really tough
- 38:45Speaker 6: spot where he can it's very difficult to criticize Roboss publicly.
- 38:49Speaker 6: Everybody knows that he's one of the most populist non
- 38:51Speaker 6: introventionalists in the administration of the lot and he's had
- 38:54Speaker 6: to really walk that tight rope and has done it
- 38:56Speaker 6: pretty well. He's an excellent communicator. So I think that
- 38:58Speaker 6: will play out. But the momentum in the Beast has
- 39:02Speaker 6: been and seems to be anti war, anti intervention, stick
- 39:06Speaker 6: to domestic issues broadly speaking, and so I think the
- 39:09Speaker 6: momentum is on that side. But the donor class and
- 39:12Speaker 6: Congress and all of them are on the other side,
- 39:14Speaker 6: and that fate is going to continue as far from it.
- 39:16Speaker 2: It's going to be fascinating because Marco Rubia has said
- 39:18Speaker 2: if JD runs, he's not going to run. But politicians
- 39:22Speaker 2: change their minds to very quickly, and I could they
- 39:28Speaker 2: run together, That's what President Trump said he'd like to see,
- 39:31Speaker 2: but I can't see that happening.
- 39:33Speaker 6: You've got two alphas and similar age as well, similarly
- 39:38Speaker 6: senior or junior per se. But you never know politics
- 39:41Speaker 6: and exchange badfellows as well.
- 39:42Speaker 2: Absolutely, and I can't see JD having served as president
- 39:46Speaker 2: already serving as sorry, serving as vice president, serving as
- 39:49Speaker 2: vice president for another.
- 39:51Speaker 6: But it would have to be flipped.
- 39:52Speaker 2: It would have to be flipped. Koshigada, it's been a pleasure,
- 39:55Speaker 2: thank you coming up after the break the madness groupping
- 39:59Speaker 2: caliph Bornia schools. Will it be coming to Australia. Next,
- 40:03Speaker 2: Blair White joins me next. Welcome back. Next month California,
- 40:17Speaker 2: we'll implement a wave of controversial new laws, including the
- 40:20Speaker 2: requirement for schools to provide at least one easily accessible
- 40:25Speaker 2: gender neutral restroom for students. It would also be a
- 40:28Speaker 2: requirement for student ID cards in California's public middle schools,
- 40:33Speaker 2: high schools, and colleges to include the phone number for
- 40:37Speaker 2: a LGBTQ plus hotline. It is also streamlining the process
- 40:43Speaker 2: for updating legal names to match people's gender identity. Joining
- 40:48Speaker 2: me now from California is transgender commentator Blair White. Blair,
- 40:54Speaker 2: you're the second most famous trans woman in the world.
- 40:58Speaker 2: You're a Californian. How do you feel about these developments?
- 41:04Speaker 13: Is number one? Caitlin just checking Yes, thanks for having
- 41:11Speaker 13: me Rita. So, I find it really disturbing, especially the
- 41:15Speaker 13: laws specifically creating the gender neutral bathrooms in middle schools.
- 41:20Speaker 2: I don't know if people.
- 41:21Speaker 13: Are aware of this, but especially in the US and
- 41:23Speaker 13: in California, there is a massive literary crisis happening right now.
- 41:27Speaker 13: Fifty eight percent of students in California in middle schools
- 41:31Speaker 13: cannot read at a grade level that is appropriate the
- 41:34Speaker 13: grade that they're in. We need to be focusing on
- 41:36Speaker 13: things like that. I don't know how the priorities got
- 41:39Speaker 13: so twisted and so backwards that we're fixing problems that
- 41:42Speaker 13: aren't broke and trying to create new bathrooms. Also, it's interesting,
- 41:46Speaker 13: you know, how often do we have to hear about
- 41:49Speaker 13: news stories about unfortunately predators being teachers in schools and
- 41:54Speaker 13: you know, horrible things happening involving sex crimes with children
- 41:57Speaker 13: in schools. Do we really need a space in schools
- 42:00Speaker 13: where students are the most vulnerable, to where even opposite
- 42:04Speaker 13: sex teachers or adults, janitors, anyone on the premises can
- 42:10Speaker 13: come in in the same room as these kids. There's
- 42:12Speaker 13: a lot of concerns with that. And then with the
- 42:14Speaker 13: fast tracking of the changing of the legal name. You know,
- 42:18Speaker 13: it's just proof that despite most of the country moving
- 42:21Speaker 13: on from the transkid thing in terms of coming to
- 42:25Speaker 13: terms with the fact that it is immoral and it
- 42:26Speaker 13: is incredibly insidious, California is incredibly dedicated to staying on
- 42:31Speaker 13: that highway to hell.
- 42:35Speaker 2: It seems to almost be religious like zelotry, the determination
- 42:40Speaker 2: to push ahead with this agenda. The activists seem to
- 42:43Speaker 2: be setting the agenda. What about parental rights? Do the
- 42:48Speaker 2: parents in California have any sort of a say in
- 42:52Speaker 2: what sort of indoctrination their children are exposed to?
- 42:57Speaker 13: Well, you know, Communist one oh one is the state
- 43:00Speaker 13: to own your children. So the erosion of parent rights.
- 43:03Speaker 13: I've even heard, you know, some radical people in this
- 43:05Speaker 13: state say that, you know, parent rights are like the
- 43:08Speaker 13: term parent parential rights is a right wing dog whistle,
- 43:12Speaker 13: a Nazi dog whistle. There's an incredibly strong campaign to
- 43:15Speaker 13: alienate kids from their parents and to feign some sort
- 43:20Speaker 13: of autonomy that actually children don't have over their bodies.
- 43:23Speaker 13: You know, this is an issue that I've gotten the
- 43:25Speaker 13: most hate for over the past decade of my career
- 43:28Speaker 13: of being outspoken on this issue with many others, nothing
- 43:31Speaker 13: gets me in the same amount of hate as simply
- 43:33Speaker 13: saying that children cannot consent to changing their sex, just
- 43:36Speaker 13: like they can't consent to having sex. This is very,
- 43:39Speaker 13: very simple, and I don't know why California is, like
- 43:42Speaker 13: you said, in this sort of like almost religious psychosis.
- 43:46Speaker 13: It's it's very strange.
- 43:49Speaker 2: Well, as a trans woman, I would have thought you
- 43:51Speaker 2: were uniquely qualified to speak about this issue, and you
- 43:55Speaker 2: have that famous line about a transgender and a five
- 44:01Speaker 2: year old I think is like a vegan cat. We
- 44:04Speaker 2: know who's making the decisions there. How much of this
- 44:08Speaker 2: is down to liberal parents who see a transgender child
- 44:14Speaker 2: as some sort of an achievement, as some sort of
- 44:16Speaker 2: a sign that they are so progressive and so tolerant,
- 44:21Speaker 2: and they really not just enable this sort of transition
- 44:28Speaker 2: for their children, they are pushing it.
- 44:32Speaker 13: Right. I get so many messages from parents who are
- 44:36Speaker 13: being honest about even falling into that trap of using
- 44:39Speaker 13: their children as a status thing, getting caught up in
- 44:41Speaker 13: the ideology of it, and then coming out on the
- 44:43Speaker 13: other side. I went on a podcast tour recently where
- 44:46Speaker 13: a mother of a detransitioner child who at this age
- 44:50Speaker 13: is only eighteen, but during their teenage years was transitioning,
- 44:54Speaker 13: and the mom consented to that and helped that and
- 44:57Speaker 13: realized the mistake a few years later and came up
- 45:00Speaker 13: to me at the meeting ry and was crying and
- 45:02Speaker 13: admitted to me, which I thought was very brief of her,
- 45:04Speaker 13: and said, you know, this was about me being looking
- 45:06Speaker 13: good around my liberal friends. This was about me having
- 45:09Speaker 13: some sort of status, and also about them not Unfortunately,
- 45:14Speaker 13: This is also a weight liberal issue. A lot of
- 45:16Speaker 13: weight liberals want to sort of cancel out that weight
- 45:19Speaker 13: guelt and get a minority card. And this is the
- 45:21Speaker 13: easiest way to do that. But it is at the
- 45:23Speaker 13: expense of their children.
- 45:26Speaker 2: It is it is a status symbol, and you're right
- 45:29Speaker 2: in that hierarchy of victimhood. It's right up there, perhaps
- 45:34Speaker 2: even Trump's racial minorities or religious minorities. Now let's cross
- 45:40Speaker 2: to New York and transgender activists there are demanding that
- 45:45Speaker 2: hospital systems that have stopped providing gender firming care to
- 45:49Speaker 2: transgender minors be banned from participating in the city's Pride
- 45:53Speaker 2: March this week. The Gender Liberation Movement has signed a
- 45:57Speaker 2: letter criticizing hospitals for kipit to the attacks by the
- 46:01Speaker 2: Trump administration Blair. They have also called for the banning
- 46:06Speaker 2: of any medical institution that has cooperated with the Justice
- 46:09Speaker 2: Department's attempts to obtain patient records of transgender miners. If
- 46:15Speaker 2: you don't have patient records, how can you possibly ascertain
- 46:19Speaker 2: whether this sort of treatment is successful. We've seen all
- 46:23Speaker 2: sorts of inquiries in the UK looking at this data.
- 46:27Speaker 2: Surely it's time thats us states and the country looked
- 46:32Speaker 2: at the Dasha to see what the results are for
- 46:35Speaker 2: young children who are set down this path.
- 46:39Speaker 13: Right, and the fact that they want to obscure those results,
- 46:42Speaker 13: the fact that they want to hide them, is proof
- 46:44Speaker 13: that there is in fact something to hide. But it's
- 46:46Speaker 13: not that complicated to find out what they're hiding. We
- 46:49Speaker 13: can see it in the UK, we can see it
- 46:51Speaker 13: in other European countries that are ahead of, you know,
- 46:54Speaker 13: the States on these issues. And the results are not
- 46:57Speaker 13: so positive. The results are not so unanimously you know,
- 47:01Speaker 13: rainbows and sunshine as the media and as culture tries
- 47:04Speaker 13: to portray it here, at least in the United States.
- 47:06Speaker 13: And you know the fact that they're not allowing you know,
- 47:08Speaker 13: people that work at those hospitals or participated to engage
- 47:12Speaker 13: in like pride parades or whatever. You know, that's just
- 47:15Speaker 13: another example of the LGBT community and their obsession with
- 47:18Speaker 13: alienating allies. There are so many people that have no
- 47:21Speaker 13: issue with gay people, have no issue with trans people,
- 47:24Speaker 13: even want to refer to themselves as allies. But if
- 47:27Speaker 13: the requirement for that, if the bar they have to
- 47:29Speaker 13: meet is supporting the serialization of children, the mutilation of children,
- 47:34Speaker 13: that is not something that most people are going to
- 47:36Speaker 13: meet you in the middle on. Most people these days
- 47:38Speaker 13: understand that these things are incredibly barbaric. It's I used
- 47:41Speaker 13: to say that one day we're going to see these
- 47:43Speaker 13: as the lobotomies of the twenty twenties. I think we're
- 47:46Speaker 13: actually already there, and most people see that clearly.
- 47:50Speaker 2: Now before you go, is it time to be done
- 47:54Speaker 2: with pride rallies, Pride months in the West?
- 47:59Speaker 7: Please?
- 48:00Speaker 2: Gay people are obviously still oppressed in many parts of
- 48:04Speaker 2: the world, particularly the Muslim world, but in Western nations
- 48:07Speaker 2: where they enjoy equal rights, is it time to say
- 48:12Speaker 2: we're done with that. We chieved our goals and we're
- 48:15Speaker 2: not going to have endless parades and a whole month
- 48:18Speaker 2: of celebration.
- 48:20Speaker 13: Yes, please just let it ad read it at least
- 48:23Speaker 13: in the US.
- 48:24Speaker 2: Please.
- 48:24Speaker 13: I actually see it as very brave when I see
- 48:26Speaker 13: them happening in countries where it actually is illegal and
- 48:29Speaker 13: or taboo, you know, punishable, punishable by law. I think
- 48:33Speaker 13: those situations and those individuals are being brave. Here it
- 48:36Speaker 13: just becomes this gratuitous, excessive thing that only stands to
- 48:41Speaker 13: be in that negative to the acceptance of gay and
- 48:43Speaker 13: trans people. The numbers are bearing that out. The statistics
- 48:46Speaker 13: are out people are there is a gay and trans
- 48:48Speaker 13: fatigue happening right now, and so I feel like, if
- 48:51Speaker 13: we can just get through, you know, the last week
- 48:53Speaker 13: here of Pride month without any like major embarrassing incidents,
- 48:57Speaker 13: I actually think it's better than last year. But I
- 49:00Speaker 13: would love to see pride and because it's unnecessary.
- 49:05Speaker 2: And you know what, they never during these Pride marches
- 49:08Speaker 2: advocate for the rights of their oppressed brothers and sisters
- 49:12Speaker 2: living under Shariah law, for example. If they did that,
- 49:15Speaker 2: I would have some time for it because at least
- 49:17Speaker 2: they're shining a light on an issue that deserves attention.
- 49:21Speaker 2: But they never do that. Blair White, it's been a pleasure.
- 49:24Speaker 2: Thank you so much for your time. And that's it
- 49:26Speaker 2: for me. Don't go anywhere Near's night is up next
