  Speaker 3: Good evening, A welcome to the Rita Panekey Show coming
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: up tonight. The Victorian government plunged into a fresh crisis,
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: with the acting Chief Police Commissioner sensationally quitting the force
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: after just forty one days in the top job. The
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: latest wacky ads from Labor and the Liberals as the
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: major parties flood social media with campaign ads.
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: Democrats in Congress find new.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Lows they're approval rating, hitting a record low of twenty
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: one percent.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: Link Lauren will.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Have the latest, including Cory Booker's marathon filibuster and Alex
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Stein will tell us why he was attacked during trans
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Day of Visibility celebrations and we never forget left.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: He's losing it.
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: Is there anything anything, oh earn you thing it are
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: that they could do to lose your supper?
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Worried at this.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Point, But first Labor has been weaponizing all things Trump
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: to attack Peter Dutton, and it must be said the
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Opposition leader is not dealing with these attacks particularly well.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: But the Prime Minister himself has been struggling to explain
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: some of his own commentary regarding the US President, watch
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: this rather bizarre exchange.
• 1:23
  Speaker 6: Prime Minister, you previously said that Donald Trump scares the
• 1:26
  Speaker 6: ship out of you.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: What scared the ship out of you?
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: And are you still frightened by those things about Donald Trump?
• 1:33
  Speaker 7: Now?
• 1:33
  Speaker 8: It's Prime Minister. I have a constructive relationship with the
• 1:36
  Speaker 8: President and I've had two very constructive phone calls with him.
• 1:39
  Speaker 9: But no, no, sorry, So what skipped out of the question?
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: What actually scared me about him?
• 1:44
  Speaker 8: As Prime minister?
• 1:46
  Speaker 10: Said this?
• 1:47
  Speaker 8: As Prime Minister, I have a constructive relationship with the
• 1:51
  Speaker 8: President and I look forward to continue and engage with him.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Dear, what we have there is a weak, reckless leader
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: who made I advise comments about a former president who
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: anyone with a fully functioning brain knew was likely to
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: be a future president. Joining me now for more on
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: this is their panel. We've got Sky News contributors pri
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: McSween and Tina McQueen, Tina Labor and the media have
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: been using Donald Trump to attack Peter Dutton, trying to
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: capitalize on the well almost uniformly terrible coverage of US
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: politics that we get in this country. Is it working
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: in scaring the electorate and making them think Peter Dutton
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: is Donald Trump two point zero.
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: No, I don't think it's working at all. And I look,
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: I think Peter Dutton bedwise to agree and go hand
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: in hand with Donald Trump on a lot of policies.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: So this won't work at all. I mean, this alban
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: easy continuing Trump thumping.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Isn't going to work.
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: There's a lot of admiration for what Trump's doing in
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: the US by Australians around the country, so this tactic
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: will not work and may very well backby against Prime Minister.
• 3:06
  Speaker 11: Prue.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: But Dutton isn't really leaning into it either. He seems
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: to be scared of even talking about it. You either
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: embrace it and point to the great things that are
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: happening in the US and point out, you know where
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: a different country has got different policies, or you tackle
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: it in some other way. He seems to just sort
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: of be allowing Labor to set the tone when it
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: comes to this issue.
• 3:31
  Speaker 12: Well, he's underestimating the fact that labor are street fighters.
• 3:35
  Speaker 12: They play dirty, they play the man, as we know.
• 3:38
  Speaker 12: And I don't necessarily agree with Tina in this. I
• 3:41
  Speaker 12: think that their policy of attacking Dutton and weaponizing Trump
• 3:46
  Speaker 12: against him is working in some cases. You know, he's
• 3:51
  Speaker 12: I think that it's true that Albanize is hoping for
• 3:54
  Speaker 12: a Trump bump. That's what they're all predicting if his
• 3:58
  Speaker 12: liberation tariffs come in, And any sane person would understand
• 4:05
  Speaker 12: that what Dutton is actually supporting of Trump is things
• 4:09
  Speaker 12: like abandoning woke policies in school and generally in the community,
• 4:15
  Speaker 12: and cutting back on the federal Department of Education. Why
• 4:19
  Speaker 12: the hell do we have a federal Department of education
• 4:23
  Speaker 12: when we have states governments running the education system. So
• 4:27
  Speaker 12: I think draining the swamp of public servants is a
• 4:31
  Speaker 12: good idea, and he's been very clear, Dutton about not
• 4:36
  Speaker 12: you know, draining the swamp when it came to frontline workers.
• 4:39
  Speaker 12: So I just think that Dutton needs to be more aggressive.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: Generally.
• 4:44
  Speaker 12: We have big fisted, chest pumping Albanezi, who was missing
• 4:49
  Speaker 12: in action for so long when it came to trying
• 4:53
  Speaker 12: to advocate for against these tariffs. I mean, apart from
• 4:57
  Speaker 12: not being able to even get a phone call with
• 4:59
  Speaker 12: the president, you know, we have useless rut whose demeaned
• 5:02
  Speaker 12: Trump so much being our advocate.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: Well, no wonder we're in this situation.
• 5:07
  Speaker 11: But I think you're right, reader.
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: I think mister Dutton really has to man up on
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: this and not be wishy washy about it.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: These ads will work.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: If Dunton does not stand up for his relationship with
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: Trump and the policies that he admires and will take.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: On board, well he needs just to be bolder across
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: the board. Let's talk about those tariffs, though Tomorrow has
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: been dubbed Liberation Day in the US, with Donald Trump
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: said to announce a list of tariffs impacting Australias as
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: well that it should be taking place with immediate effect.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Australian meat, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, even the media all face possible tariffs. Tina,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: we have shot ourselves in the foot here with the
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: negotiation because some of those unwise comments that we've had
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: from labor ministers, from the PM as we just heard,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: and form the prime ministers who cannot keep out of
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: the media. None of that helps when you're trying to
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: negotiate an exemption. And Australia wasn't a fairly unique position
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: because we've got a trade deficit with the US and
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: most countries don't, so we perhaps could have got an
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: advantageous still if our politicians were a little bit smarter.
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they're really blown it, particularly markham turmalus Preu said
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: Kevin Rudd. And you know President Trump, he doesn't take
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: kindly to these remarks and he's got a long memory.
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: So I think we've handled very poorly. We've gone totally
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: in the wrong way about it.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: There are plenty of.
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: Avenues we could have used to get to President Trump.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: That Albanese did not take advantage of.
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: There's a number of private Australians that have a close
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: relationship with the President. We could have gone that route.
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: So I think, yeah, it's a real shame that that's happened,
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: and clearly these tariffs are going to have some effect
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: in our country. All I can hope for is a
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: change of government where I'm certain that relationships will be
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: better with the president. So we just have to hope
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: that the government just changed and we can readjust our
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: relationship with President Trump and fix some of these arrangements
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: that will be no doubt be put in place on
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: April fourth.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Over here, Now, let's check in with the social media
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: campaigns of the major parties.
• 7:27
  Speaker 13: Let's start with Labor. This is their latest efforts.
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: Authorized p rickson alp camera.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Okay, it looks like the Liberals are taking a page
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: out of Labour's playbook and trying to appeal to younger
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: voters with these sort of left field ads. They've used
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: the awful Snow White movie to mock lay up.
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: This movie is such a flyp Yeah, people would walk
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: out even if they played the film on a plane.
• 8:05
  Speaker 9: But it's still better than this mid on Libra government.
• 8:09
  Speaker 14: You think this trash movie is better than their debt
• 8:11
  Speaker 14: filled budget.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Liber are terrible, but this movie is a tougher watch
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: than TikTok and The Mean Depression.
• 8:17
  Speaker 13: Look, I know we got two out of ten on IMDb,
• 8:20
  Speaker 13: but have you seen the power prices under Libra?
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: Authorized? A host liberal Canberra prue? You are the pr Maven.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: What do you think of what you've just seen?
• 8:31
  Speaker 11: Look?
• 8:31
  Speaker 12: I can understand why they're targeting this generation and online
• 8:35
  Speaker 12: media because it's the main consumption now of many many
• 8:39
  Speaker 12: voters of all demographics. But I think these two attempts
• 8:42
  Speaker 12: are really quite pathetic. You know, too hard, too long
• 8:47
  Speaker 12: to cryptic.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: I just you know, I just don't understand it.
• 8:51
  Speaker 12: I suppose one could argue that they're a bit better
• 8:53
  Speaker 12: than Claire O'Neill's attempts, you know, homegrown attempts, but Bowen's attempts.
• 8:58
  Speaker 12: But really, you know, they're not hitting the mark. What
• 9:01
  Speaker 12: they need to do is probably get some younger people,
• 9:04
  Speaker 12: not these you know, sort of advertising types who are
• 9:07
  Speaker 12: probably snipping all sorts of different things in between you
• 9:10
  Speaker 12: coming up with creative campaigns, you know, to come up
• 9:15
  Speaker 12: with some ideas. But I just think these missed the mark.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Well we've got another one for you, because it's not
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: just the major parties, the minor parties, the independence, they're
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: all joining in. Let's have a look at Senator for
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Teama Payman's effort is that we're capping. I've just said
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: he's capping ic L TSPMO, SDB, wilted Rose emotion Tina.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure exactly what that was about, but I
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: did have a look at the Instagram comments and they
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: weren't complimentary.
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: As all I can say, Reader, I must be ancient.
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: I don't get any of these ads, the labor one
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: in particular, the liberal one I think was silly to
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: lose us. The snow White reference, because that actress in
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: Snow White is the workest of Woken, although the movie
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: apparently is shocking she'd still have plenty of fans, so.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't touch that.
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: And Fatima, look, I very few people know who she is,
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: shows very little to say and are going to be
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: even more confused by watching that.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, Now the Liberals have started adding Monique don't
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: take this sign posters alongside their Amelia Hamer posters in
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: the seat of q Yol.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: This is clever.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: This is after the husband of the TLMP, Monig Ryan,
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: was caught on camera removing one of Hamer's campaign ads
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: last week. Tina, this is this is actually clever. It's
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: an employing humor and it's making the point. It's reminding
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: that electro of what happened.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: Look, I think it's brilliant and I was having a
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: particular tough day the other Dame when I first saw
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: this ad and it really made me just burst out laughing.
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: I'd be a joyous, clever ad and we need.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: More like this to win an election. Proue.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: What else can the major political parties do to get
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: through to the electrop Because not everyone is obsessed with politics.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: As we are.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Much of the country is apathetic that kind of consume what.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: They have to. How do you get through to the
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: average Australian.
• 11:28
  Speaker 12: Well, I think that the messaging just has to be
• 11:30
  Speaker 12: simple and clear. Everything they do needs to have a resolution.
• 11:38
  Speaker 12: Why when I heard Dutton during his pub test on
• 11:42
  Speaker 12: Sky and he was talking about the fuel excise, but
• 11:47
  Speaker 12: then he didn't drive at home and saying every person,
• 11:50
  Speaker 12: whether you pay text or not, will pay less for
• 11:54
  Speaker 12: their fuel. You know, they don't sell properly, and so
• 11:58
  Speaker 12: I think they also because Labor is so clever and
• 12:01
  Speaker 12: obfuscating and taking the eye off the ball. They talk
• 12:05
  Speaker 12: about things, but they don't get the clear message out there.
• 12:08
  Speaker 12: And I just feel that the lips in particular allow
• 12:12
  Speaker 12: Labor to get away with lies and murder generally, you know.
• 12:16
  Speaker 12: So I think that you know, going cutting very clear
• 12:20
  Speaker 12: communications is the way to go across all channels.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: I think you're right, Prue and Read.
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: We need to go back to when Tony Abbott won
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: and you know the three word slogans work, cut the tax,
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: stop the boats, things like that. Short and concise messages
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: is what Peter dut and the Liberal Party need to adopt.
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, just the word xcise. I think people tune out.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: People understand tax and they understand dollar amounts. So if
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: you say that will save you twenty dollars per week,
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: whatever the amount is, that's what gets through. Now let's
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: talk about Victoria. Victoria Police Commissioner Rick Nugent, who was
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: sworn into the top job after Shane Patton was forced
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: out of the role in February, has made the shop
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: decision to quit, plunging Victoria Police and the Allen government
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: into even greater chaos.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: Prough, the acting Chief.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Commissioner, quit after just forty one days in the top job.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: There's allegations of inappropriate conduct involving a conflict of interest.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: This is during his previous stint as a commissioner, and
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: these complaints have gone to the Anti corruption watchdog.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: But pro it's a mess, well, who would touch it?
• 13:43
  Speaker 12: You know, the job is really toxic when you think
• 13:47
  Speaker 12: that everything that is done in Victorian particular is politically motivated.
• 13:53
  Speaker 12: The police commissioner's job, I don't care who's sitting in
• 13:56
  Speaker 12: the chair, is virtually untenable unless you you capitulate and
• 14:01
  Speaker 12: commit to what Allen and co. Dictate you as well
• 14:07
  Speaker 12: give up. And I don't know whether this guy's past
• 14:10
  Speaker 12: had any real influence or if it's a political gotcha
• 14:14
  Speaker 12: where they've decided this guy isn't playing balls, so we
• 14:16
  Speaker 12: need to get rid of him.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Let's dig up.
• 14:18
  Speaker 12: Some potential dirt.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 14:21
  Speaker 12: All you know is that everything that happens in Victorian
• 14:24
  Speaker 12: politics stinks.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Well, yes, and if you want to see Victoria nationally
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: another term of the Alban Eazy government may just get
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: you there.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: Now before you.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: Go, Tina, I've got to ask you about this piece
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: I saw in The Australian's Margin Core column. A bit
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: bizarre if you ask me. It was an attack against
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: the white Haven cole director Raymond's age because he likes
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: posts on social media that are in support of Trump
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: and Elon Masker. He noted that Elon Musk would be
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: a fantastic president. It's a shame he can't run to
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: be president. This anonymous columnists label that embarrassing and nutty.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, where is this coming from? Where is this
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: It's almost like we're back into twenty sixteen, where they
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: don't seem to appreciate that this is the duly elected
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: president of the United States and he.
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: Enjoys enormous support, not just in America.
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, look, he's been over overwhelmingly elected, so you know,
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: everyone's got the right to say I think, and if
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: you want to support Trump and praise what him and
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: must be doing, you should be able to without being ridiculed.
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's just ridiculous. And good on him for
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: saying what he really believes and what his thoughts are
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: regarding the US. And you know that's a bold, brave
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: move and I think more of us should do it.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: And I had to look at the again the comments
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: from The Australian's readers and that they were not too
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: impressed with the angle the columnists taken. The unnamed columnist
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: Pru McSween, Tina McQueen, thank you so much for your
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: time tonight. Joining me now is research fellow at the
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Institute of Public Affairs Saxon Davidson. Saxon Peter Dutton has
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: spriaked a policy that would force the banks to slash
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: their serviceability buffers for home loans by a third, as
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: well as direct them to ease capital rules for borrowers
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: with small deposits. Analysis conducted by Canstar estimates that such
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: measures would allow the average person to borrow up to
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: forty thousand dollars more than they otherwise would, But Canstar
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: says that the person who is most likely to benefit
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: from this structural change is the person selling the property,
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: not the person taking on more debt. It's a drop
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: in the ocean. That's a direct quote there, Saxon. Housing
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: is going to be a huge issue. What do you
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: make of the policies of the two major parties?
• 16:54
  Speaker 15: Well, the policy of the two policies of the two
• 16:56
  Speaker 15: major parties are pretty poor. Actually, the main issue with
• 17:00
  Speaker 15: housing is affordability, and the biggest lever that the.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Federal parties have to pull this lever is immigration.
• 17:06
  Speaker 15: Demand for housing is far too high and it is
• 17:08
  Speaker 15: lifting housing and rent prices for everybody. Now, this policy
• 17:14
  Speaker 15: from Peter Dutton is a positive one and will allow
• 17:17
  Speaker 15: people to enter the market that otherwise couldn't. But without
• 17:20
  Speaker 15: significant cuts to migration, demand for housing is simply only
• 17:24
  Speaker 15: going to rise further and further up.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: What about the policy of allowing people to access their
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: super to buy a home. This seems to be a
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: philosophical point for the liberals where they say it's your money,
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: you should be able to access it to do with
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: as you wish. What do you think about that, because
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: it's certainly something Labor do not back well.
• 17:43
  Speaker 15: Obviously, Labor wouldn't back any taking out of the super
• 17:46
  Speaker 15: taking any money out of the superannuation funds.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: I'm a big.
• 17:49
  Speaker 15: Supporter of this policy because ultimately superannuation does act as
• 17:53
  Speaker 15: a double taxation on top of your income tax. And
• 17:57
  Speaker 15: being able to use your own money to purchase a
• 17:59
  Speaker 15: home for you to be able to build your life
• 18:01
  Speaker 15: savings around like most Australians do, shouldn't be as outlandish
• 18:06
  Speaker 15: a policy as some people in the political cost make
• 18:08
  Speaker 15: it out to be.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, it seems mad that it's a particularly when you're
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: investigating property and we've seen historically how much that has
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: gone up in value, So why deprive people of the
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: opportunity Now, Labor said that it will urge the Fair
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Work Commission to back above inflation pay rises for two
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: point nine million low paid workers, in a move that
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: will no doubt spark a political war between the party
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: and businesses across the country. Saxon is Labor backing a
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: winning plan here. This is certainly going to be popular,
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: but will it be inflationary?
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: It's absolutely going to be inflationary.
• 18:44
  Speaker 15: Any arbitrary increase to wages which is not met with
• 18:47
  Speaker 15: equivalent increase to productivity is going to be naturally inflationary,
• 18:52
  Speaker 15: which I mean is to the detriment of the entire population,
• 18:55
  Speaker 15: particularly low paid workers. And I mean the other thing
• 18:58
  Speaker 15: that's been missing out of this converse is the effect
• 19:01
  Speaker 15: this is going to have on businesses, particularly particularly small
• 19:04
  Speaker 15: and medium enterprises. Smaller medium enterprises are being burdened at
• 19:09
  Speaker 15: a double rate at the moment due to record energy
• 19:12
  Speaker 15: prices and also by a record amount of red tape
• 19:15
  Speaker 15: at both the federal and the state level. If this
• 19:18
  Speaker 15: is going to be again, if they're going to be
• 19:20
  Speaker 15: burdened even more by an increased labor cost, that just
• 19:23
  Speaker 15: means more businesses are going to go under which means
• 19:26
  Speaker 15: that a lot of those workers who labor supposedly support
• 19:29
  Speaker 15: with this policy shift are just going to lose their jobs,
• 19:31
  Speaker 15: and no one wants that.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Well, the fear here is that this is, as you explain,
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: going to be particularly bad for low income earners because
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: it's going to be inflationary, but it's probably going to
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: be most attractive because they're going to end up with
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: some more money in their pocket initially before that inflation
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: takes it all away. So I think politically it's very
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: clever from Labour. Now, finally, before you go, Saxon, let's
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: talk about Victoria. The Allen government is set to ink
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: the most expensive contract of the suburban rail loop is
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: going to be billions dollars more. They're going to do
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: this despite Peter Dutton threatening to cut federal funding for
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: the project if he wins. So we could be looking,
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Saxon at an eleven point five billion dollar black hole
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: in this project. What is the business case for the
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: suburban rail Loop?
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: There simply isn't one. This is a boondoggle.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: We have spent billions and we're about to spend many,
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: many billions more and there's no business.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: There's no business case for this project.
• 20:32
  Speaker 15: And it's just a continuation of the storied history of
• 20:36
  Speaker 15: this Labor government, which is now eleven years old, of
• 20:39
  Speaker 15: budget blowouts, project delays and unfulfilled promises, all three of
• 20:44
  Speaker 15: which were seen with the most recently canceled and repurposed
• 20:48
  Speaker 15: now Glasgow Commonwealth Games. And we've seen project after projects
• 20:53
  Speaker 15: there are simply more delays, more budget blowouts, and this
• 20:57
  Speaker 15: eleven point two budget hole that's now in this pre
• 21:00
  Speaker 15: is probably only going to get larger considering that we
• 21:03
  Speaker 15: know based on history, what the results will be.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: The longer this project.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: Goes on, Saxon Davidson, Thank you so much, Vin, Thank
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: you for having me.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: Still to come a Lefties Losing it plus Democrats sink
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: two new loads with their approval.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Rating committing to twenty one percent. Link. Lauren joins us
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: next with the.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: Details Welcome back. It's time for Lefties losing it. And
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: there has been much controversy among the humorless joyless left
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: because this alleged comic Amber Ruffin has been removed as
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: the headline act for the White House Correspondence Dinner.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: A tragedy for comedy. Let's get back to the monologue.
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: During the Houston Astros World Series victory parade on Monday,
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: Senator Ted Cruz was reportedly hit with a beer.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: Can in the chest and neck. It missed his fine
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: because he doesn't have one.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: Oh dear, and she's not only painfully and funny, she's
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: also a lefty losing it who intended to use the
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: occasion to grandstand.
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: You're kind of a bunch of murderers. I mean so
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: like they were like you need to be you know,
• 22:19
  Speaker 7: equal and make sure that the that you give it
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: to both sides and blah blah blah. I was like,
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: there's no way I'm going to be for doing that, dude.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: Murderers and speaking on the podcast, you saw there off
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: far left clown side the Daily Beast and were often
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: revealed just what a nasty lefty she is saying Republicans
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: are not even human.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: It's just about burns on.
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: Trump hurt badly and then it trickles down to everyone
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: who is around him because y'all also guilty. So I
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: think it just they got their feelings hurt. But it
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: may want that false equivalency that the media does want
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: that it feels great, it makes them feel like human beings,
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: but they shouldn't get to feel that way because they're not.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Some people are more culpable than others, that's right, man,
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: They get more jokes made about them, and the jokes
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: are meaner. And of course the miserable, joyless ladies of
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: the view thought that last line was hilarious. Look at
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: the immediate reactions here when they played the clip.
• 23:25
  Speaker 7: It makes them feel like human beings, but they shouldn't
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: get to feel that way because they're not.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: Charming. Think they all need psychological help.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: But just not from this next lady who claims to
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: be a psychologist, and she has this important question for Americans.
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: Are you in question for Trump supporters and supporters of
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: Musk and iar of care. I'm just asking a genuine,
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: honest question for you. Is there anything, anything or how
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: do you think it are that they could do to
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: lose your support at this.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Point, Yes, if I'm a Trump mask RFK, any of
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: them appear with a septum ring, I'm going to assume
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: that they have lost their minds and disregard anything they
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: have to say.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: That's all it's going to take.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Let's go back to the view and watch here as
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: the ladies not along like I'm thinking idiots, as this
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: lefty Ellie Misstal claims that no law passed before nineteen
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: sixty five should be respected.
• 24:35
  Speaker 16: My premises for the book is that every law passed
• 24:37
  Speaker 16: before in the nineteen sixty five Voting Rights Act should
• 24:40
  Speaker 16: be presumptively unconstitutional. Right, But because before in the nineteen
• 24:44
  Speaker 16: sixty five Voting Rights Act, we were functionally in apartheid country.
• 24:47
  Speaker 16: Not everybody who lived here could vote here, So why
• 24:50
  Speaker 16: should I give about some law that some old white
• 24:53
  Speaker 16: man passed in the nineteen twenties, like the immigration of Nationale.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: We got now.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: We will get to Corey Booker's is sent into madness shortly.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: But first, the polling for the Democrats continues to hit
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: new lows. We are now looking at twenty one percent
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: approval ratings for Democrats in Congress.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: Here is CNN.
• 25:13
  Speaker 17: Holy Toledo voters' views of the Democrats in Congress. Among
• 25:17
  Speaker 17: all voters, disapproved sixty eight percent. And look at the
• 25:21
  Speaker 17: approved number, just twenty one percent, even lower than the
• 25:25
  Speaker 17: Democratic Party at large.
• 25:26
  Speaker 11: This is the lowest on.
• 25:28
  Speaker 17: Record for Democrats, according to Quinnipiac University polling. You think
• 25:31
  Speaker 17: these numbers are bad, Let's go to this side of
• 25:33
  Speaker 17: the screen. We'll look how Democratic voters feel.
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: Get this.
• 25:36
  Speaker 17: The plurality of Democratic voters disapprove of Democrats in Congress
• 25:40
  Speaker 17: at forty nine percent, and just forty percent approve. Horrible, horrible, horrible.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: Joining me now is host of a new program spot
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: On with Link Lauren on Meghan Kelly's Network Link. Even
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: the majority of Democrats do not approve of the Democrats
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: in Congress.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Great to be back with you, Rita. This is because
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: the Democrats have lost their darn minds. The Democrats are
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: also choosing these ridiculous hills to die on. If you
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: look at the data, seventy nine percent of Americans in
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: a recent New York Times IPSIS poll, they tell you
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: they do not want men and women's sports. So what
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: do the Democrats do the next day? They go out
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: and vote to keep men in women's sports. If you
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: look at these polls and overwhelming majority of Americans they
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: support mass deportations, they support deporting criminals.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: What do the Democrats do.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: They go on TV and say, no, no, no, we
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: can't do these mass deportations.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: This is racist, this is xenophobic.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: So the Democrats are coming down on the wrong side
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: of every single issue, and it's why people are leaving
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: the Democratic Party in droves.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Well, he talked about the Democrats losing their minds.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: Here's another candidate. This is just incredible.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Corey Booker talked NonStop for twenty four to twenty five hours.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: This is Philip on the.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Top stupidest questions in America.
• 27:02
  Speaker 11: You've gotten this question.
• 27:03
  Speaker 16: I think you would agree with me. You're not a
• 27:05
  Speaker 16: kind of guy that uses words like.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Hey, this is stupid, but this is stupid. The thing.
• 27:09
  Speaker 11: I heard the stupid question.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: Oh yes, heroic.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: They can say the applause from the other Democrats when
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: he broaked the record for the longest SPAECHA.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Tell me why, Well, I really couldn't tell you why
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Corey Booker is standing there for twenty five hours running
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: his mouth. But what I can tell you is, if
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: this is the best the Democrats have to offer, is
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: if this is the face of the resistance, I think
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: the Republicans are going to be a Okay, Corey Booker
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: wants to show he's an alpha. He's a masculine guy.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: You're standing there in an air conditioned room talking about
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: nonsense for twenty five hours. This is not an alpha
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: masculine guy. President Trump got shot in Butler, Pennsylvania on
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: July thirteenth and stood up with blood streaming down his face,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: saying fight, fight Fight. That is an alpha in an
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: image of strength people can relate to. Corey Booker looked
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: like a clown.
• 28:09
  Speaker 10: Well.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Part of the crisis facing the Democrats is that they
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: are doubling it down on that leftist lunacy you mentioned,
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: and part of that is attacking Elon Musk. I mean,
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: these on hinge demented height field attacks against Elon Musk,
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: labeling him a Nazi, a threat to democracy, and sadly
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: it's backed by the mediasm of this hysteria. And this
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: is something Joe Rogan touched on recently because.
• 28:38
  Speaker 14: Right now they lost to Trump, they're in this scattered
• 28:41
  Speaker 14: thing where they're trying to put on everything he does,
• 28:44
  Speaker 14: hide all the good stuff. You didn't hear a peep
• 28:48
  Speaker 14: about Elon rescuing those people. That should have been on
• 28:51
  Speaker 14: all of the news stories all day long. It should
• 28:54
  Speaker 14: have been a huge national event. We're finally going to
• 28:57
  Speaker 14: rescue the astronauts who are trapped in the space station
• 29:00
  Speaker 14: for eight months. And this super genius, this Elon Musk character,
• 29:06
  Speaker 14: is the guy who figured out how.
• 29:07
  Speaker 16: To go get them.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: His company went.
• 29:08
  Speaker 14: And rescued them because we can't do it anymore.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: He's one hundred percent right there. That was stranded there
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: for months. It was supposed to be a seven day
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: mission because NASA couldn't get them.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: So Elon steps in to do that. It's successful.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: It should have just been a moment that united the country,
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: this moment of triumph, and yet it was barely covered
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: because it helps Elon Musk it helps Donald Trump.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Well, what I find so funny about these Democrats calling
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk a threat to democracy. They didn't think it
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: was a threat to democracy. Having a brain dead president
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden for the last four years, that wasn't a
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: threat to democracy. Open borders, hundreds of thousands of people
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: pouring through the border every single month bringing fentanyl, drugs
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: and crime. MS thirteen trendy at Agua. That wasn't a
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: threat to democracy to the Democrats. All of a sudden,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk, who has an American made electric vehicle company,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: this is the guy they are waging war on. I
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: think all of these people who are burning down Tesla's,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: burning down dealerships, storming dealerships, you all are domestic terrorists.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Tom Homan and Christy Nome need to snatch you up.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: They need to put you on the planes and send
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: you to Guantanamo. We can send the women of the
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: View Takuantanamo, Megan Markle, and then also these people who
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: are vandalizing Tesla's. You guys can all go together. Because
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk is trying to find waste, broad and abuse,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: and the federal government right throughout history, the person trying
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: to get rid of waste, broad and abuse. Is usually
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: the hero, but because he's working with Trump, suddenly he's
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: the boogeyman to the left RITA.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: How complicit is the media in these attacks with saying
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: against Tesla dealerships, against Tesla driver's sixty one year old
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: woman was baitionated. I've shown some incredible footage in Race
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: and Wakes of just violent domestic terrorism. There is now
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: the to describe it because these attacks are politically motivated.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: Do you hold the media at all accountable for some
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: of this behavior?
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: So I do hold the media somewhat accountable for this behavior,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: the burning down Teslas and storming dealerships, because these networks
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: like MSNBC, they're the ones who are talking to these rich, white, liberal,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: affluent women, and most of them are the ones going
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: and protesting outside of Tesla dealerships. Most Americans they got
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: to go to work. They don't have time to stand
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: outside a dealership with a little sign and doing a chant.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: They have to go and provide for their families. So
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: I do hold MSNBC accountable. But they did this for years. Right,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: they called Donald Trump a threat to democracy, They called
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: him a dictator, they called him a Nazi hitler, a fascist.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: They smeared Donald Trump for years and we saw the
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: horrific repercussions of those smears. The last few years.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: Now, the Democrats have been called the party of miserable
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: women and weak men. And you've spoken about the beta
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: male phenomen Explain to my audience what you mean by
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: that and what that means in the political climate, because
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: we are saying more and more young men gravitate to
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: the rise, whilst women are going increasingly to the left.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: So I've been talking about this a lot recently. We've
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: seen polls, we've seen focus groups. Tons of men are
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: shifting to the right politically. They're leaving the Democratic Party
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: in droves. They're identifying as Republicans, as MAGA, as Independents
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: as MAHA because the Democratic Party is unrecognizable. They can't
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: even define what a man or a woman is. So
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: how is that inviting two men? And also, the Democratic Party,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: like you said, is run by a bunch of beta males.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: If you look at Tim Walls, he's a beta male.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: You look at Corey Booker, beta male, Hawking, Jeffreys, Chuck Schumer,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: and then you look at the women and the forefront
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party, Elizabeth Warren, Jasmine Crockett, Congresswoman Delaro.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: They are shrill, obnoxious women that no man wants to
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: spend five minutes listening to. Men are also tired of
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: apologizing for their masculinity. Men are tired of on the
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: left having a say I'm so sorry. Was I man'splaining?
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Was I being toxically masculine? Was I sitting with my
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: legs too far apart? Was I man spreading? Men are
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: tired of this malarkey, this tomfoolery, and it's why they're
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: shifting to the right.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: Well, a man who's kind of presented himself as an
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: alpha masculine Alan Baldwin, well, after that interaction we.
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: Saw on the red carpet, perhaps that's not what he is.
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: And there's been more fallout from.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: That Alec and Hilaria Baldwin interaction, that humiliating video.
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to show it again.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: We know what we're talking about, where she breaks him
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: on the red carpet in front of everybody.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: Now, some industry's.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: Side as are speaking out saying that Alec has terrorized
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: movie sets for years and this is.
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: A karma link. What have you got to say about that.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: So I guess this could be some kind of karma
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: for Alec Baldwin. But for all the men out there,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: listen to me. If you choose to appropriate with the
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: woman who is insane and crazy and has multiple personalities
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: and think she's from Spain when she's from Boston, don't
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: cry over spilled milk. Don't cry from me Argentina when
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: things aren't hunky dory at home. So Alec Baldwin, he
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: knew what he was doing. He had seven kids with
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Ilaria Ilaria even though she's really Hillary from Boston. Okay,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: she's from the Spanish coast of Boston.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: I guess.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: So if you go to bed, have seven kids with
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: a crazy woman, don't cry over spilled milk. I have
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: no sympathy for you, Alec Baldwin. You made your bed
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: lie in it.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: Oh that is harsh.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: But you know what I cannot get over this fake
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: Hispanic accent and forgetting English words when.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: She's not Hispanic, she's not Latin. Where is she getting
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: this wrong?
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: Before you go, how is Hollywood in general coping with
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: a second Trump term? Is the hatred for all things
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: Trump as deep as it's been in the past, they
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: finally realizing it's probably not a good idea to alienate
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: at least half the country, or are they too setting
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: their ways. Are they disregarding the box office and focused
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: on their activism.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: So I do think there is a little bit of
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: a reckoning and a wake up call happening in Hollywood.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: You kind of have to hit them over the head
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: with it. They really have to have some big flops
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: to come to terms with the fact seventy seven million
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Americans voted for President Trump. Right Republicans maga. They have
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: buying power. They are purchasing power. They go to the
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: movie theaters. They're not going to put their money where
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: their mouth is for a project that denigrates everything conservative
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: values stand for. And that's what we've seen in Hollywood.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Hollywood has gone so woke, they've gone so left, they've
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: gone so progressive. They tried to denigrate the nuclear family
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: in this country. So I think unless they start embracing
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: these Republicans and seventy seven million Americans who voted for Trump,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: they will continue to fade into obsolescence, like we saw
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: with Sound of Freedom. In some of these films the
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: last few years, there is money there Republicans will go
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: to the box office, but the movie has to be
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: good and it has to speak to them.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, and it can't patronize and just be ticking boxes.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: This is what we are seeing with so many productions,
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: whether it's TV or.
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: Movies, where they have to have the.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: DEI checklist completed before they actually worry about whether it's
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: a decent product or not. Link Lauren, It's always a pleasure.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Thanks for your time tonight, Thanks for having me.
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: Coming up.
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: My next guest was attacked during Trance Day of Visibility demonstrations.
• 36:35
  Speaker 9: Alex Stein is up. Welcome back.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: Now it's time for the Golden Age. Elections have consequences,
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: and yes, it is the beginning of the Golden.
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: Age, all right.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: The latest figures have just been released and they show
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: that the Trump administration has resolved the illegal immigration crisis.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: It's no longer a crisis, with the numbers crossing illegally
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: at the US Mexico border.
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: Falling yet again in March, hitting a.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: New record low just seven thousand cross illegally. Remember we
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: were seeing two hundred thousand plus a month under the
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: Biden administration. The March data is a ninety four percent
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: reduction from at the same time last year March last year.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: Department of Homeland Security agents call it the Trump effect.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: One DHS source told The New York Post, migrants are scared.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: There are consequences now. Everyone who is caught is charged
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: and does time. Remember when the Democrats and their propaganda
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: arm the bulk of the mainstream media claimed that it
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: was impossible for Biden to fix the problem he created.
• 37:59
  Speaker 18: I remember Republicans keep saying Biden doesn't need Congress, he
• 38:02
  Speaker 18: can stop what's happening at the border all by himself.
• 38:05
  Speaker 18: Can you fact check that for us, because we here
• 38:08
  Speaker 18: all though that's not true.
• 38:09
  Speaker 16: Republicans have been saying largely wrongly right because saying that
• 38:13
  Speaker 16: the president can close the border unilaterally on his own,
• 38:16
  Speaker 16: president actually doesn't have the authority.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Under law to do that.
• 38:18
  Speaker 7: There's only so much President Biden can do with executive action, and.
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: He did try to do whatever he could. They actually
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: are doing everything they can.
• 38:29
  Speaker 16: The president hands are tied.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: There's only so much that he can do.
• 38:32
  Speaker 19: President Biden has issues executive orders, but there's only so
• 38:35
  Speaker 19: much he can do within his purview.
• 38:37
  Speaker 18: What an intractable a problem this is for the president
• 38:40
  Speaker 18: with no easy solutions.
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: No easy solutions here. There are no easy solutions here, folks.
• 38:45
  Speaker 18: The president insisting there's only so much he can do
• 38:47
  Speaker 18: without Congress. How much can actually be done quickly without
• 38:51
  Speaker 18: Congress acting?
• 38:52
  Speaker 17: How would this happen without the power of the purse,
• 38:55
  Speaker 17: without Congress getting involved.
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: They need Congress to act to fix the broken immigrations stuff.
• 39:00
  Speaker 19: This cannot happen without Congress resourcing this.
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: There's only so much a president can do with his
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: pen and his phone.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: Turns out it wasn't an intractable problem and there was
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: an easy solution.
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: All you needed was a new president.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: Joining me now is comedian and host of Prime Time
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: with Alex Stein on Blaze TV. Alex We were told
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: it can't be done. European countries have achieved little in
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: the way of stopping their illegal immigration issues, but Trump
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: within a matter of weeks had this issue under control.
• 39:36
  Speaker 19: I mean, Rita, it's such a just a laughable proposition
• 39:39
  Speaker 19: to even say that the President of the United States
• 39:42
  Speaker 19: of America, the commander in chief, is not responsible for
• 39:45
  Speaker 19: protecting our borders. That's basically his main responsibility. But these
• 39:49
  Speaker 19: people had to just do whatever they could to try
• 39:51
  Speaker 19: to sell the Biden presidency as being a success, when
• 39:54
  Speaker 19: in reality it was the worst presidency.
• 39:56
  Speaker 11: That we possibly could have had.
• 39:57
  Speaker 19: And I think looking back, it was actually great eight
• 40:00
  Speaker 19: that Joe Biden won the twenty twenty election because now
• 40:02
  Speaker 19: we can see how bad things were and we can
• 40:05
  Speaker 19: see how effective Trump truly is with fixing things.
• 40:08
  Speaker 11: So, you know, it's just ridiculous what these people.
• 40:10
  Speaker 19: Want to say when it comes to Joe Biden in
• 40:12
  Speaker 19: the comparisons to Donald Trump. It's just a night and
• 40:14
  Speaker 19: day difference when it comes to the direction that this
• 40:17
  Speaker 19: country's heading.
• 40:20
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: This week we had the trans Day of Visibility, and
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: you decided to mark the occasion by attending a protest
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: in Texas.
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: You were blasting the song dude looks like a lady,
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: Dude looks like a lady and death.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: Not surprisingly, it took around five seconds before you were attacked.
• 40:42
  Speaker 12: What of your love?
• 40:49
  Speaker 11: Tell yourself than you want to fight? You want to fight?
• 41:02
  Speaker 11: I don't know. I'm so scared.
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: What are you gonna do? Alexa.
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: I may be jumping to conclusions here, but I don't
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: think that we're happy to see you.
• 41:17
  Speaker 11: No, Rita. It's a cliche.
• 41:19
  Speaker 19: You say a lot the party of tolerance and acceptance
• 41:22
  Speaker 19: is not very tolerant or accepting when it comes to
• 41:25
  Speaker 19: people that even try.
• 41:26
  Speaker 11: To have the same viewpoint.
• 41:27
  Speaker 19: I went there to try to, uh, you know, I guess,
• 41:31
  Speaker 19: be friendly, and obviously I was joking.
• 41:33
  Speaker 11: I was being sarcastic.
• 41:34
  Speaker 19: But as soon as I stood up and I had
• 41:36
  Speaker 19: the boombox playing Aerosmith, they.
• 41:38
  Speaker 11: Knew what was going on, and they immediately got violent.
• 41:40
  Speaker 19: And I really feel bad because I was there with
• 41:42
  Speaker 19: the cameraman and my girlfriend and they threw coffee on her,
• 41:45
  Speaker 19: you know, they threw water on me, and I'm trying
• 41:48
  Speaker 19: to go there and this is a very tense situation.
• 41:51
  Speaker 19: I go there and I try to have I guess
• 41:53
  Speaker 19: a different angle. I try to be funny or I
• 41:55
  Speaker 19: try to be you know, goofy. But in reality, these
• 41:58
  Speaker 19: protests are getting dangerous and there's more and worthy protests rita.
• 42:01
  Speaker 19: So I'm happy that this didn't actually get much worse
• 42:04
  Speaker 19: than it really was.
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, he got a bit willing there.
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: There was a bit of RGI bargie and I'm not
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: sure whether you should be taking a girlfriend to these
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: little projects, Alex. We need to have a talk about
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: that off camera because I'm never going to have you
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: married off if you pull stunts like this taking your
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: girlfriend to a trans day of Visibility protest.
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: No.
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: Now, let's talk about Super Bowl champions the Eagles. They're
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: looking forward to their White House visit, a very different
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: response to what we saw back in twenty eighteen. Let's
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: hear now from Eagles coach Nick Siriani talking about how
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: honored he is to be invited.
• 42:46
  Speaker 10: I'm really excited to go. What an honor, What an
• 42:49
  Speaker 10: honor to be able to go to the White House.
• 42:52
  Speaker 10: You know, teams that have been winning the championship have
• 42:54
  Speaker 10: been doing that for a long time, and I'm really
• 42:58
  Speaker 10: honored to go.
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: I'm really excited to go, Alex.
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: Things were very different back in twenty eighteen when President Trump,
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: during his first term, rescinded his invitation to the Eagles
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: after they showed great disrespect by saying that they were
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: only going to send a small delegation. The whole team
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: didn't want to go. It's quite a backflip, I.
• 43:21
  Speaker 11: Mean to say the least, it's a huge backflip.
• 43:23
  Speaker 19: When you look at Pennsylvania in this last election, I
• 43:26
  Speaker 19: would not have thought that they would be in favor
• 43:28
  Speaker 19: of Donald Trump. Everybody thought that that was going to
• 43:30
  Speaker 19: be such a nail bier, but it wasn't. And so
• 43:34
  Speaker 19: I think that people of Pennsylvania are willing to say, Look,
• 43:37
  Speaker 19: I love Donald Trump. I like Donald Trump, Nick Sirianni.
• 43:40
  Speaker 19: This is his second championship, I believe. So he's a
• 43:43
  Speaker 19: great coach, and he's out there speaking for the fans,
• 43:46
  Speaker 19: not just the players that might be mad, that might
• 43:49
  Speaker 19: not like Trump. This is for the fans of Philadelphia.
• 43:51
  Speaker 19: They're not only voted for Donald Trump, but love the Eagles.
• 43:54
  Speaker 19: So I'm happy that they're going to go and make
• 43:55
  Speaker 19: this right. And they are too. It's ridiculous, even if
• 43:58
  Speaker 19: Joe Biden was in office. Every team that wins a championship,
• 44:01
  Speaker 19: especially football, the most important sport here in America, you
• 44:04
  Speaker 19: go to the White House.
• 44:05
  Speaker 11: It's tradition.
• 44:06
  Speaker 19: And I really don't like these teams breaking from tradition.
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: No, And I think that's where we're seeing the cultural
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: shift most strongly. I think when it comes to Hollywood,
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: when it comes to so many parts of the entertainment industry,
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: they're still completely divorced from reality. And then just on
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: this anti Trump campaign where they alienate half the country,
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: but the sporting teams Alex seem to be realizing that
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: it doesn't pay to upset your fan base. You've got
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: to actually either be neutral or just accepting off people's
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: different viewpoints. I'm not saying we're there yet.
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: But there seems to be a bit of a shift.
• 44:50
  Speaker 19: Well, Ruda, now you saw you were playing this all
• 44:53
  Speaker 19: year long. All of the NFL players are doing the
• 44:55
  Speaker 19: Trump dance every time they score a touchdown or they
• 44:57
  Speaker 19: sack the quarterback.
• 44:58
  Speaker 11: So you know what, we've I had.
• 45:00
  Speaker 19: A big shift, and now it's cool to be a
• 45:02
  Speaker 19: Trump supporter, and I'm happy to see it.
• 45:04
  Speaker 11: Now we're the cool kids reader.
• 45:05
  Speaker 19: Finally, you know, they used to alienate us, but now
• 45:08
  Speaker 19: it's cool to like Donald Trump, and we were doing
• 45:10
  Speaker 19: it before it was cool to do it.
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: Well, if you want to be a rebel, you have
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: to be conservative. I mean that is just the way
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: it is now if you're a young person, because the
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: group think is so much the other way.
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: We have to check in now on will Smith Alex.
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: He went from being arguably the world's biggest film star,
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: winning Academy Awards, among the highest paid stars in the industry,
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: and then this happened oh wow, wow, Will Smith to
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: smack the shit out of me.
• 45:49
  Speaker 6: Like him?
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: Wow, dude.
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: Well, the weirdo Hollywood crowd gave him a standing ovation
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: shortly after that when he want his little ward. But
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: the rest of the world were pretty appalled by his
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: antics and he had this massive, full form grace. That
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: was three years ago now and he's now launched a comeback,
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: a musical comeback.
• 46:16
  Speaker 16: I feel like I'm just getting started. They tried to
• 46:18
  Speaker 16: finish me. I'm like the universe infinite, there's no end
• 46:22
  Speaker 16: in me.
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: This is the bounce back.
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: What will y'all?
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: This is the bounce back.
• 46:30
  Speaker 11: Here, come to bounce back.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: Get your eyes on him.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: This is the bounce back.
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: Okay, Alex, Is that a song? Is that a comeback?
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: Or is it? I don't know.
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: Do we intrude on a therapy session?
• 46:45
  Speaker 19: Yeah, it was definitely a little therapeutic what he was
• 46:48
  Speaker 19: talking about.
• 46:48
  Speaker 11: I think he called it lyrical lemonade.
• 46:50
  Speaker 19: But you know that we're in a simulation because now
• 46:52
  Speaker 19: Will Smith is cussing in his freestyle raps. I would
• 46:55
  Speaker 19: have never thought that that would ever be possible, because
• 46:57
  Speaker 19: he always said that he doesn't have to cuss in
• 46:59
  Speaker 19: his wraps to sell records. But when it comes to
• 47:01
  Speaker 19: Will Smith rapping rita, this is a good sign. This
• 47:05
  Speaker 19: is going back to the fresh Prince of bel Air days,
• 47:07
  Speaker 19: the Men in Black days.
• 47:08
  Speaker 11: There was a time when Will Smith truly was the.
• 47:11
  Speaker 19: A list, funny powerhouse rapper, actor, dancer, and I hope
• 47:16
  Speaker 19: you can go back to that. You know, he had
• 47:17
  Speaker 19: a horrible fall from grace. His wife, Jada Pinkett Smith
• 47:21
  Speaker 19: very unlikable.
• 47:22
  Speaker 11: If you ask me personally.
• 47:23
  Speaker 19: So I actually like to see the revitalization or the
• 47:27
  Speaker 19: revolution or the pivot of Will Smith's career.
• 47:32
  Speaker 11: I'm excited to see it. You know, will it be
• 47:33
  Speaker 11: a success? Who knows?
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll say, We'll say his music was actually underrated,
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: always thought in the past.
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure about this one though.
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: And now before you go, we've seen activist students behind
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: violent protests deported, But the problem runs deeper than the students.
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: Look at this academic, the.
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: Chair of the English department at the University of Wisconsin, o'
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: clay wellok at what he allegedly did, flipped over a
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: table set up by college Republicans at the university.
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: But Alex despite what we're seeing in that particular footage.
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: We are seeing sanity prevailing at a number of universities
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: that are abandoning their DEI programs.
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: Tell me about this shift. I mean, they're being forced
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: to do it.
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: But seeing the Universe University of California walk back from DEI,
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: well that's got to be good news.
• 48:32
  Speaker 19: Well, Rita, I go to a lot of these college campuses,
• 48:34
  Speaker 19: and really, these kids could care less about DEI.
• 48:36
  Speaker 11: It's a lot of the faculty.
• 48:38
  Speaker 19: And as a matter of fact, when I do these debates,

• 48:47

• 48:56
  Speaker 19: bless them.
• 48:56
  Speaker 11: That's great. We don't need them. But I think that
• 48:59
  Speaker 11: is a real problem.
• 49:00
  Speaker 19: It's not necessarily the students, it's actually the administrators and
• 49:03
  Speaker 19: the faculty.
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: Of course, that's where it starts. Alex Stein, thanks so
