Speaker 1: Thanks.
0:03
Speaker 2: Starting right now, it's a Wheto Pani Show.
0:08
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Patticky Show.
0:10
Speaker 4: Coming up tonight. The Prime Minister under renewed attack for
0:14
Speaker 4: his off color comments about the Japanese Prime Minister, Daniel
0:18
Speaker 4: Wilde would join me to discuss the day's top headlines.
0:22
Speaker 4: A surge in bureaucrats led by Chris Bowen's Department of
0:26
Speaker 4: Climate Change and Energy. Professor Ian Primer has some thoughts
0:30
Speaker 4: on that. Josh Hammer will have the latest from the US,
0:33
Speaker 4: including the WNBA grappling with former NBA players nominating for
0:39
Speaker 4: its draft, and more strife at the View with staff
0:43
Speaker 4: reluctant to welcome back a token conservative panelist, Kinsey Schofield
0:48
Speaker 4: will have the latest entertainment and Royal news and Left
0:52
Speaker 4: He is Losing It features Kamala Harris with this shocking
0:56
Speaker 4: revelation about President Trump's intentions.
1:01
Speaker 5: Is trying to push this Save Act, which basically would
1:05
Speaker 5: require that for people.
1:06
Speaker 3: To register to vote, you're going to have to have
1:09
Speaker 3: proof of who you are.
1:11
Speaker 4: But first, Labour's primary vote has sunk, while One Nation
1:15
Speaker 4: maintains its dominance over the coalition. The latest News poll
1:19
Speaker 4: has Labor in one nation, sitting on twenty nine percent.
1:22
Speaker 4: The Coalition trails far behind on eighteen percent, just four
1:27
Speaker 4: points above the Greens. Prime Minister Anthony Alberniese's popularity remains
1:32
Speaker 4: at near record lows, with his net approval ratings slumping
1:37
Speaker 4: to minus minus twenty two percent, and the PM's lack
1:41
Speaker 4: of popularity is dragging down Labour's primary vote to Julia
1:45
Speaker 4: Gillard levels.
1:46
Speaker 3: And we all know what happened there.
1:49
Speaker 4: Days after recording twenty nine percent with Newspoll, she was
1:54
Speaker 4: challenged and defeated by Kevin Rudd.
1:57
Speaker 3: Joining me now is Deputy.
1:59
Speaker 4: Executive Director of the Institute of Public Affairs, Daniel Wild Dan.
2:03
Speaker 4: The only good news here for the PM is that
2:05
Speaker 4: he's still is the preferred prime minister despite his net
2:09
Speaker 4: approval rating sitting at minus twenty two percent.
2:14
Speaker 6: Yeah, and what the news poll shows, and I think
2:17
Speaker 6: reinforces is something that we've been talking about for a
2:20
Speaker 6: little while now, which is that Australia is becoming a
2:23
Speaker 6: lot more like continental Europe in our political composition, where
2:27
Speaker 6: there's three four parties that get between you know, fifteen
2:31
Speaker 6: to thirty percent of the vote, and that in Europe,
2:34
Speaker 6: we know it's pretty common for different coalitions to be
2:37
Speaker 6: cobbled together on an ad hoc basis. Now Australia isn't
2:40
Speaker 6: at that point yet because we have a different voting system.
2:42
Speaker 6: We have a compulsory preferential voting system, which means that
2:45
Speaker 6: votes filter through the system in quite a different way
2:48
Speaker 6: than they do in most other democratic countries. But you
2:51
Speaker 6: look at the and you mentioned the fact that the
2:53
Speaker 6: Coalition's on eighteen and the Greens are on fourteen. When
2:56
Speaker 6: you look at the Liberal Party, they're probably on sixteen, right,
2:59
Speaker 6: because the Nats normally get about two or three percent
3:01
Speaker 6: nationwide because their vote is concentrated in the region, So
3:04
Speaker 6: the Libs are only a little bit ahead of the
3:06
Speaker 6: Greens at the moment. So that sort of puts it
3:10
Speaker 6: into perspective. But you know, in terms of having this
3:13
Speaker 6: multi party system, I think that that's something that is
3:17
Speaker 6: going to continue at least until the next election and
3:20
Speaker 6: possibly for many years to come thereafter.
3:24
Speaker 4: Yes, I think we've got a new political paradigm in
3:26
Speaker 4: this country, and there are a lot of people in
3:29
Speaker 4: denial about it, including members of the coalition. Now, I
3:33
Speaker 4: can't see these poles getting any better for labor in
3:36
Speaker 4: the New Future Dan given their refusal to really meaningfully
3:40
Speaker 4: tackle the migration issue, they're not going to reverse course
3:44
Speaker 4: on net zero. That's causing considerable pain, cost of living pain.
3:50
Speaker 4: How do you see Labor tackling their poll numbers. A
3:54
Speaker 4: lot of focuses on the Coalition, but Labor is in
3:57
Speaker 4: a bit of strife itself.
4:00
Speaker 2: Well, they are in strife.
4:01
Speaker 6: Those two issues you mentioned are very interesting because I
4:04
Speaker 6: agree with you that they're not going to formally ditch
4:06
Speaker 6: net zero, nor are they going to ditch the policies
4:09
Speaker 6: that support net zero. But Chris Bowen, that is Press
4:12
Speaker 6: Club address, didn't mention net zero even once, and when
4:16
Speaker 6: you go back and look at some of his recent speeches,
4:19
Speaker 6: he's not talking about it. Anthony Albanezi isn't talking about it.
4:22
Speaker 6: So I mean net zero is dead as a concept. Yes,
4:26
Speaker 6: there's still a lot of damaging policies.
4:28
Speaker 7: Don't get me wrong.
4:29
Speaker 6: The polls and wires that are going up across regional
4:31
Speaker 6: Australia and everything that goes with that is a huge problem.
4:34
Speaker 6: But the government isn't championing net zero because it is
4:38
Speaker 6: unpopular and it is not working. And when you look
4:41
Speaker 6: at migration, we all know Tony Burke is trying maybe
4:45
Speaker 6: to do something to cut the numbers, though I don't
4:46
Speaker 6: think they'll ever cut them in any big way. So
4:49
Speaker 6: I think Labor will try to walk and chew gum.
4:52
Speaker 6: They're going to try to tell the electric that they're
4:54
Speaker 6: cutting numbers so that they can tell the sort of
4:56
Speaker 6: the outer suburban blue collar people they're cutting numbers, but
5:00
Speaker 6: they're not going to really cut them so that they
5:02
Speaker 6: can tell the migrant voters in their electrics they're not
5:04
Speaker 6: really cutting numbers. So they're going to try and do
5:06
Speaker 6: both things at once. Whether they can get away with
5:08
Speaker 6: it or not, I think it remains to be seen,
5:11
Speaker 6: but there's no doubt in my mind politically that's what
5:12
Speaker 6: they're going to do.
5:15
Speaker 8: Now.
5:15
Speaker 4: Former Japanese Ambassador to Australia Shino Yamagami has worn that
5:20
Speaker 4: Anthony Albanesi's melon's joke about Prime Minister sna He Takahichi
5:27
Speaker 4: has damaged his standing in Japan. Writing in The Australian,
5:31
Speaker 4: Yamagami says the comments were unthoughtful and showed a lack
5:36
Speaker 4: of strategic judgment, but it seems Labor are oblivious about
5:41
Speaker 4: the damage that's been done. Have a listen here to
5:45
Speaker 4: how Tanya Plipasek defends the Prime Minister's ill considered comments.
5:50
Speaker 2: The Japanese Prime minister brought a melon?
5:53
Speaker 9: How did you get that through?
5:55
Speaker 10: She a royal melon?
5:57
Speaker 3: She smuggled it? Was she? She she smuggle it?
6:01
Speaker 8: I don't know.
6:02
Speaker 3: Oh, I got a couple of melons she brought too.
6:05
Speaker 2: She brought too as you do.
6:07
Speaker 9: She just came in looking like Pamela Randers.
6:09
Speaker 3: She brought too.
6:10
Speaker 2: Yes, and they're beautiful.
6:13
Speaker 1: Tanya.
6:13
Speaker 11: The former ambassador has said this morning this was insulting,
6:18
Speaker 11: unthoughtful and that the last thing that Japanese PM was
6:21
Speaker 11: expecting was quote to be so casually mocked by Australia's leader.
6:27
Speaker 9: Do you agree and.
6:29
Speaker 12: No, no, I completely disagree with that interpretation of what
6:34
Speaker 12: the Prime Minister was saying. I completely disagree. I'm really
6:37
Speaker 12: glad that you played that because I think people can
6:39
Speaker 12: make their own minds.
6:40
Speaker 4: That they have bizarre, bizarre reaction instead of acknowledging the
6:45
Speaker 4: comment was off color, Tanya pula sec the great feminists
6:50
Speaker 4: stood by every word.
6:51
Speaker 11: We've got the former ambassador saying the Prime Minister please
6:56
Speaker 11: enjoy these melons without thinking of about a woman's anatomy.
7:02
Speaker 11: That's a former ambassador to Tokyo saying that this isn't
7:05
Speaker 11: me saying this or the media. It was in the
7:09
Speaker 11: same podcast as the Kylie Minogue shag comment. Do you
7:12
Speaker 11: think he should have actually said those words?
7:15
Speaker 12: I don't do comedy. I stick to I stick to
7:20
Speaker 12: interviews like this.
7:21
Speaker 2: Was it funny?
7:22
Speaker 3: It wasn't funny. It was cheap and tacky and crass.
7:27
Speaker 4: Stand why can't they just acknowledge They've apologized for the
7:30
Speaker 4: Kylie Minogue comments.
7:32
Speaker 3: Why can't they just acknowledge this was.
7:35
Speaker 4: Probably a bigger mistake because we're talking about a world
7:38
Speaker 4: leader here who has been mocked and it has been
7:41
Speaker 4: noticed in Japan and elsewhere.
7:45
Speaker 6: Yeah, this was a much bigger deal than the Kyli
7:47
Speaker 6: Minogue comment, which was pretty crasp. But you know, I
7:50
Speaker 6: was never that fired off about it, to be honest.
7:51
Speaker 6: But the comment about the Japanese situation was very strange,
7:57
Speaker 6: very ill considered, and you're quite right to point out
8:01
Speaker 6: the hypocrisy. I mean, just imagine it was someone on
8:03
Speaker 6: the center right of politics that hadn't made that comment.
8:06
Speaker 6: I mean, you reckontenu Plivsk would have been saying the
8:09
Speaker 6: same things, of course not it's all about politics for Labor,
8:12
Speaker 6: but don't underestimate the significant impact that this will have
8:16
Speaker 6: on the relationship that we have with Japan. The personal
8:21
Speaker 6: relationship between leaders is not the only thing that matters,
8:24
Speaker 6: but it is a very important thing. And for this
8:26
Speaker 6: kind of comment to be made by Alban EASi without
8:29
Speaker 6: any sort of apology or acknowledgment that it was just wrong,
8:34
Speaker 6: I think, is going to damage that, you know, that relationship.
8:37
Speaker 6: So this is quite bizarre. While they can't just front
8:39
Speaker 6: up and acknowledge that.
8:42
Speaker 4: Now, Treasury documents have revealed that the Albanezi government knew
8:46
Speaker 4: it's five percent home deposit scheme could lead to first
8:50
Speaker 4: home buyers falling into negative equity. The revelation comes as
8:55
Speaker 4: auction clearance rates pushed above fifty percent, but Dan thou
8:59
Speaker 4: still well below historic levels for the eleventh week straight
9:05
Speaker 4: since Labor announced housing tax changes in the budget, and
9:09
Speaker 4: we've got the Reserve Bank meeting tomorrow and hopefully they
9:13
Speaker 4: will not touch rates, or at least they won't put
9:15
Speaker 4: them up. That would be disastrous for the housing sector
9:19
Speaker 4: right now, Dan, their current climate is as bad as
9:23
Speaker 4: many experts.
9:24
Speaker 3: Have seen it for for many many years.
9:29
Speaker 6: Well, this is the latest failure that comes on the
9:32
Speaker 6: back of many years of failures of housing policy by
9:36
Speaker 6: the government. Because of course, even if we go back
9:38
Speaker 6: pre budget, pre the capital gains tax and everything, we
9:41
Speaker 6: still had a problem, which is the government had the
9:43
Speaker 6: National Housing Accord where they said they're going to build
9:45
Speaker 6: one point two million well located homes within five years,
9:49
Speaker 6: which means they have to get twenty thousand built a
9:51
Speaker 6: month on average to get to that target. Now there's
9:54
Speaker 6: been two years of that. We've had about twenty four
9:56
Speaker 6: to twenty five months. And guess how many targets they've
9:59
Speaker 6: met precisely zero. Okay, they've met not one single target
10:04
Speaker 6: of their housing of course, so they haven't got the
10:06
Speaker 6: houses built to start with. We also know that they've
10:08
Speaker 6: had this unprecedented mass migration surge of about one point
10:12
Speaker 6: five million people on a net basis coming into our country,
10:16
Speaker 6: pushing up demand without having the houses getting built to
10:19
Speaker 6: begin with. And now we know every single day that
10:22
Speaker 6: goes by, there's new advice to new evidence coming out
10:25
Speaker 6: that the government does not understand the implications of its
10:29
Speaker 6: own policies. As you point out, you've got new home
10:31
Speaker 6: buyers that will lured into the market on the five
10:33
Speaker 6: percent scheme that are now in negative equity, which puts
10:37
Speaker 6: them under the pump straight away. So they've got this
10:39
Speaker 6: thing wrong completely from the start, and I think this
10:42
Speaker 6: is just another example of that fact.
10:46
Speaker 3: Now.
10:46
Speaker 4: Locals in Melbourne's West have rallied over the weekend to
10:49
Speaker 4: demand tougher bail laws that increase police resources following the
10:54
Speaker 4: death of a beloved grocery store owner. Sixty year old
10:58
Speaker 4: Van Vietron died after con fronting a group of teens
11:01
Speaker 4: accused of stealing from a closed shop in the suburb
11:05
Speaker 4: of Sunshine a week ago. His nephew told nine years
11:08
Speaker 4: he was sick and tired of Victorian Labour's soft on
11:12
Speaker 4: crime policies.
11:14
Speaker 13: I'm sick and tired of this government. Point you say
11:20
Speaker 13: adult crime at all time. Well, now, my auntie has
11:24
Speaker 13: no husband, my cousins have no father, and this is
11:28
Speaker 13: crap man slaughter.
11:29
Speaker 2: What the hell?
11:31
Speaker 3: Dan?
11:31
Speaker 4: This man who died was a great Australian, precisely the
11:35
Speaker 4: type of migrant we want, hard working, law abiding. He
11:40
Speaker 4: acted heroically and defending someone who was being allegedly robbed
11:45
Speaker 4: and attacked, and the concerns expressed there are just so
11:50
Speaker 4: widely held because we keep hearing about tough on crime measures,
11:56
Speaker 4: we never see it. Those who are accused of this
11:59
Speaker 4: crime are already back on the streets.
12:04
Speaker 6: Well, this is what happens when you have a radical
12:06
Speaker 6: left wing government. I mean, you know, Daniel Andrews always
12:09
Speaker 6: used to make a point of he was running the
12:11
Speaker 6: most progressive government in Australia, and Jacinterra Allen believed the
12:15
Speaker 6: same thing, and Ben Carroll believes the same thing too. Well,
12:18
Speaker 6: this is what it looks like, you know, this is
12:20
Speaker 6: what a progressive government looks like. It looks like lawlessness,
12:24
Speaker 6: it looks like not holding people to account. It looks
12:27
Speaker 6: like having two hundred billion dollars and growing debt. It
12:30
Speaker 6: looks like businesses shutting down and people fleeing. That is
12:33
Speaker 6: what a progressive left wing government gets you, by their
12:37
Speaker 6: own admission, that was the whole point of the Daniel
12:40
Speaker 6: Andrews government to set up the most left wing government
12:43
Speaker 6: in Australia. And these are the tragic, heart wrenching, real
12:46
Speaker 6: world consequences of having a failed crime strategy. Because there's
12:52
Speaker 6: many people within labor. I'm not saying all of them,
12:54
Speaker 6: but many that refuse to put personal responsibility at the
12:58
Speaker 6: heart of the justice system. If you believe that everybody's
13:01
Speaker 6: a victim, you know, the victim of the system, they're
13:04
Speaker 6: the victim of oppression, they're the victim of their circumstances,
13:07
Speaker 6: then you're going to get a system that doesn't properly
13:11
Speaker 6: punish people when they've done the wrong thing.
13:13
Speaker 7: Now I'm not saying.
13:13
Speaker 6: There's no mitigating circumstances. Everybody gets that. But you've got
13:17
Speaker 6: to have personal responsibility at the heart of the system.
13:19
Speaker 6: And many labor governments don't believe in that concept.
13:24
Speaker 3: They don't at all.
13:25
Speaker 4: And they tried to copy Queensland's Adult Crime Adult Time,
13:30
Speaker 4: but they watered it down so much it's got such
13:32
Speaker 4: gaping holes that it's really had little impact thus far.
13:36
Speaker 3: Daniel Wilde, thank you so much for your time.
13:41
Speaker 4: Now, Labor has dramatically increased the number of permanent public
13:46
Speaker 4: service staff, and Chris Bowen's Department of Climate Change and
13:50
Speaker 4: Energy is leading the charge. Analysis of the Australian public
13:54
Speaker 4: service employment data reveals a surge in bureaucrats appointed to
13:59
Speaker 4: regulatory roles after the Albanza government abolished average staffing level caps.
14:05
Speaker 4: We now have almost two hundred thousand public service staff
14:09
Speaker 4: as the government continues to create new bureaucracies, including the
14:13
Speaker 4: National Environmental Protection Agency. Joining me now for more on
14:18
Speaker 4: this is a esteem geologist, author and executive director at
14:21
Speaker 4: Hancock Energy professor in primer.
14:24
Speaker 3: And we've got more bureaucrats.
14:26
Speaker 4: Typically that means we're going to have more red tape,
14:29
Speaker 4: more green and black tape too.
14:32
Speaker 8: Well, who pays for this? It's small business. Small business
14:36
Speaker 8: tests can't increase staff. And what's going to happen is
14:39
Speaker 8: we're going to have more bureaucrats, more regulation. Poor old
14:43
Speaker 8: small business. It's got to cop this and or more
14:46
Speaker 8: regulations and it just runs up their costs. Now, those
14:50
Speaker 8: in government should bear in mind that we have never
14:53
Speaker 8: had a Labor prime Minister or Labor Treasurer since the
14:56
Speaker 8: Labor Party formed in eighteen ninety one that has had
15:00
Speaker 8: any experience in starting a business and operating a business,
15:04
Speaker 8: not want so they have no understanding of the impost
15:09
Speaker 8: that the additional regulations will have on the greatest tax
15:12
Speaker 8: payers in the country by number, and that small business.
15:15
Speaker 8: And what are these people going to do. They're not
15:17
Speaker 8: going to increase productivity because it's already low and this
15:20
Speaker 8: just makes it go lower. We hear that there are
15:23
Speaker 8: nine hundred and ninety four gender X people out of
15:26
Speaker 8: these new appointments. We don't care if they're male, female,
15:31
Speaker 8: gender X or whatever. We want productivity, we want efficiency,
15:37
Speaker 8: and if you were to run the government like a business,
15:40
Speaker 8: you would be looking at costs and you would be
15:42
Speaker 8: cutting costs rather than having cant blanche to just increase
15:46
Speaker 8: the number of people who are mainly labor voters to
15:49
Speaker 8: come in and make our cost tire with electricity run up,
15:53
Speaker 8: the cost thedis run up, the cost of snowy two,
15:56
Speaker 8: and on we go. We have left the pigs, put
16:00
Speaker 8: the snout in the trough, and they're just doing whatever
16:02
Speaker 8: they want to do. It's about time this government start
16:04
Speaker 8: to look at costs and run this country's economy the
16:08
Speaker 8: same way you'd run a business.
16:11
Speaker 4: You're right about the gender X employees. They're among the
16:15
Speaker 4: almost two hundred thousand public service staff. I've got over
16:19
Speaker 4: one hundred and eighteen thousand women, over seventy six thousand men,
16:23
Speaker 4: and nine hundred and ninety four identifying.
16:26
Speaker 3: As gender X. Whatever that means. Now.
16:29
Speaker 4: The interesting story from the NT News on the federal
16:33
Speaker 4: government targeting Northern Territory and Queensland gas investments to plug
16:39
Speaker 4: failures to achieve its renewable energy target. Ian Chris Bowen
16:43
Speaker 4: has outlined a plan to prevent new data centers from
16:47
Speaker 4: using locally produced gas as a primary energy source. What
16:53
Speaker 4: do you make of the government's handling of this issue.
16:57
Speaker 8: Well, mister Bowen is doing everything possible to starve us
17:01
Speaker 8: of energy. This is a deliberate move to stop cheap,
17:05
Speaker 8: reliable electricity running data centers which need a lot of
17:09
Speaker 8: power twenty four to seven. You can't do it with
17:12
Speaker 8: sea breezes and sunbeams. The sun, mister b doesn't China night,
17:17
Speaker 8: the wind doesn't blow all the time. You need a
17:19
Speaker 8: huge amount of energy. So what he's doing is saying, oh, no, no, no, no.
17:24
Speaker 8: Northern Territory in Queensland have been very successful in their
17:27
Speaker 8: fracking in Northern Territory and in the coal seam gas
17:30
Speaker 8: in Queensland. We're not going to use this sinful gas
17:34
Speaker 8: because this goes against our federal government policy. I think
17:37
Speaker 8: this is just calculated economic destruction and he should pay
17:42
Speaker 8: for this electorally. We cannot destroy our fragile energy systems
17:47
Speaker 8: and this is doing quite deliberately.
17:51
Speaker 4: Now the Courier Mail reports millions of Queenslanders were told
17:55
Speaker 4: to brace ray catastrophic weekend jail huge that never arrived.
18:01
Speaker 4: In another spectacular forecasting failure, the Bureau of Meteorology has
18:06
Speaker 4: predicted wrong rainfall totals in Queensland more than six hundred
18:11
Speaker 4: and fifty times since twenty twenty four.
18:14
Speaker 3: That's not that long ago.
18:15
Speaker 4: The Courier Mail investigation into the taxpayer funded weather agency
18:19
Speaker 4: found major discrepancies in the accuracy of predictions in major
18:24
Speaker 4: regional cities. Compared to the South East Cans was about
18:29
Speaker 4: the worst impacted, and these mistakes ian can be very
18:33
Speaker 4: costly for tourism operators. Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tates said
18:38
Speaker 4: he wouldn't have a job if he made as many
18:41
Speaker 4: mistakes as the Bureau. Is this just being a bit harsh.
18:44
Speaker 4: Can we expect them to be accurate? It is the
18:47
Speaker 4: weather after.
18:48
Speaker 8: All, we pay them a million dollars a day to
18:54
Speaker 8: give us the weather report, so they should be et
18:57
Speaker 8: and they should actually and carry the consequences for their
19:02
Speaker 8: bad predictions. Now, many people have looked at the history
19:06
Speaker 8: of forecasts and predictions and into the world scenarios and
19:11
Speaker 8: not one of them. As were now, the Bureau of Meteorology,
19:14
Speaker 8: costing us a million dollars a day, is actually telling
19:17
Speaker 8: us that they can predict what's going to happen in
19:19
Speaker 8: the future. They can even predict what's going to happen
19:21
Speaker 8: hundreds to thousands of the year's time when apparently we're
19:24
Speaker 8: going to fry and die. So I think Queensland has
19:27
Speaker 8: got a very very good case to say, Look, you're
19:31
Speaker 8: costing us money with these false forecasts. Get you act together,
19:35
Speaker 8: get it better, or we defund you. And I think
19:38
Speaker 8: if you're in a private organization and you make forecasts
19:42
Speaker 8: and get them wrong, you will be very soon on
19:44
Speaker 8: the streets. I cannot see why those rules cannot apply
19:48
Speaker 8: to the Bureau of Meteorology. Taxpayers want their million dollars
19:51
Speaker 8: worth a day. We don't want the Bureau of Meteorology
19:54
Speaker 8: to frighten us about a forthcoming typhone that doesn't appear.
19:57
Speaker 8: We don't want them to frighten us about how we're
19:59
Speaker 8: going to die and die in a thousand years time.
20:03
Speaker 8: Just get real and do the job.
20:06
Speaker 4: You could imagine if you're hearing there's going to be
20:08
Speaker 4: a catastrophic deluge, well, You're going to cancel your plans,
20:12
Speaker 4: aren't you. You're not going to go out or dive
20:15
Speaker 4: or go and that costs money, That costs jobs. Professor
20:20
Speaker 4: in Plymer, thank you so much for your time.
20:22
Speaker 8: Good night.
20:23
Speaker 4: Still to come, Lefties losing it plass the latest from
20:27
Speaker 4: the US, including the WNBA grappling with former NBA players
20:32
Speaker 4: nominating for its draft.
20:34
Speaker 3: Josh Hammer is next.
20:45
Speaker 4: You're watching the Rider Panehy Show, and it's time for
20:48
Speaker 4: lefties losing it. Let's start with Kamala Harris, who had
20:53
Speaker 4: this shocking revelation about President Trump's intentions.
20:57
Speaker 5: This president is trying to push this Save Act, which
21:02
Speaker 5: basically would require that for people to register to vote,
21:05
Speaker 5: you're going to have to have proof of.
21:08
Speaker 3: Who you are.
21:10
Speaker 4: Wait, what you have to prove who you are with
21:13
Speaker 4: an actual form of ID like a birth certificate?
21:16
Speaker 3: How dare they? How are illegal immigrants and dead people
21:20
Speaker 3: meant to vote? Now, now to junior Kamala Congresswoman Alexandria
21:25
Speaker 3: Orcazio Cortez, who wants to be president. You know she
21:28
Speaker 3: wants to be president because she's laughing off some of
21:31
Speaker 3: her previous radical positions. Now she's just a moderate communist.
21:37
Speaker 10: Abolished prisons, abolished police, which is also positions that have
21:41
Speaker 10: been taken by a lot of the progressive Kennedy to
21:43
Speaker 10: have won.
21:45
Speaker 12: How do you get around that local city councilman that
21:49
Speaker 12: has this.
21:51
Speaker 3: Saying walk one was crazy, A yes, work one point,
21:58
Speaker 3: great work there.
22:00
Speaker 4: Democrats have a real problem with their radical wing which
22:03
Speaker 4: is taking over the party. They are setting the agenda
22:07
Speaker 4: and old timer. It was like Donna Brazil might want
22:10
Speaker 4: to downplay this phenomenon, but thankfully the always erudite Scott
22:15
Speaker 4: Jennings was there to give Donna Brazil a reality check
22:19
Speaker 4: on ABC. You don't often get this sort of honest
22:22
Speaker 4: analysis on ABC.
22:24
Speaker 14: I can tell you we're having the same kind of
22:26
Speaker 14: growing pain as I so on the Republican side, whether
22:28
Speaker 14: it was through the Tea Party and twenty ten the
22:31
Speaker 14: activists who helped to bring about the MAGA movements.
22:35
Speaker 10: And with all due respect to my friend Donna, there's
22:38
Speaker 10: nothing like you can't draw any equivalents between the Tea
22:41
Speaker 10: Party movement and the Socialist For one, the Tea Party
22:44
Speaker 10: folks weren't trying to bring about the downfall of Western
22:46
Speaker 10: civilization and the United States of America. Abolish the police,
22:50
Speaker 10: abolish Iase, abolished borders, abolished the Senate, abolished the Constitution.
22:54
Speaker 10: There was nothing like this in the Republican Party. So
22:58
Speaker 10: it's an extreme political ideology.
23:02
Speaker 2: You talk about the big tent.
23:03
Speaker 10: The Democrat Jewish Attorney General of Michigan can I even
23:07
Speaker 10: go to her party's nominating convention because she says I
23:11
Speaker 10: won't be safe there because of the supporters of abdul
23:14
Speaker 10: l say ed. You can't draw any equivalents between what
23:17
Speaker 10: happened in the Republican Party with the resurgence of patriot
23:20
Speaker 10: conservatives versus these anti American radicals.
23:23
Speaker 4: Now to the WNBA, which needs to decide if it's
23:27
Speaker 4: a hard left political movement advocating for radical positions on
23:31
Speaker 4: race and gender or a sporting league. They're so out
23:36
Speaker 4: of touch that the thoroughly unlikable Hillary Clinton is treated
23:40
Speaker 4: like some hero, while Sophie Cunningham is attacked by coaches,
23:45
Speaker 4: players and sporting media for stating a biological fact that
23:50
Speaker 4: men and women are different and women's sport should be protected.
23:54
Speaker 4: We've had multiple coaches make absolute fools of themselves, claiming
23:59
Speaker 4: they don't understand and the physical advantage men have, including
24:02
Speaker 4: Sophie's own coach Stephanie White, and players to have weighed in,
24:07
Speaker 4: including Golden States Gabby Williams, who said she'd welcome trans
24:12
Speaker 4: women aka men into the league.
24:15
Speaker 15: It's trans rights right now is our new battle. That's
24:17
Speaker 15: why I think that I was saying that, like the
24:19
Speaker 15: battles have changed, you know, like our attention to the
24:22
Speaker 15: same now that the environment has changed, received trans people's
24:24
Speaker 15: rights being you know, shipped away from them. There's a
24:26
Speaker 15: lot of disco discourse around trans athletes and where they
24:30
Speaker 15: can compete in. I would welcome a transathlete on my
24:33
Speaker 15: team or against my team anytime.
24:35
Speaker 4: Really, Gabby, really, you'd love that. You'd love them, not
24:38
Speaker 4: just on your team, you'd be happy to play.
24:40
Speaker 3: Against a man.
24:41
Speaker 4: Well, be careful what you wish for, Gabby, because these beautiful,
24:45
Speaker 4: brave and stunning trans women want to play with you.
24:48
Speaker 7: After careful concentration, I review in the current eligibilitic guidelines,
24:52
Speaker 7: I am officially declaring myself at WNBA prospect. If simply
24:56
Speaker 7: declaring who you are is all that's required, that I
24:59
Speaker 7: meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA.
25:03
Speaker 16: Or Earlier this week, I made the announcement I'm transgender.
25:07
Speaker 16: I'm a woman. I'm I identify as sometimes identifying as
25:10
Speaker 16: a woman for purposes of basketball professional basketball. So I'll
25:15
Speaker 16: be declaring for the WNBA draft in twenty twenty seven
25:18
Speaker 16: as well. I mean, I think I'd be unstoppable.
25:21
Speaker 4: Yep, their former NBA first round pigs and as Canta
25:25
Speaker 4: Freedom and Royce White nominating for the WNBA draft. Brilliant work,
25:31
Speaker 4: gentlemen or gentle ladies, And if you question the authenticity
25:35
Speaker 4: of their transition, then you're a filthy bigot.
25:38
Speaker 3: I don't make the rules.
25:40
Speaker 4: Now back to Sophie Cunningham, who sparked this entire issue
25:43
Speaker 4: by stating a common sense position in a thoughtful and
25:47
Speaker 4: compassionate way. For that, she is being mercilessly attacked. It's
25:52
Speaker 4: the attacks against Sophie Cunningham are coming thick and fast,
25:55
Speaker 4: mainly off the court. But in the case of Dejona Carrington,
26:01
Speaker 4: she brought the attack onto the court with this flagrant foul.
26:05
Speaker 14: Right across the face, coming down trying to prevent the layup.
26:08
Speaker 2: But that is just a hard hit.
26:12
Speaker 15: That's definitely going to be upgraded I think to a
26:14
Speaker 15: flagrant too. Ryan.
26:15
Speaker 4: That was a clothes line, just dirty dirty play, and
26:19
Speaker 4: not surprisingly, dejon A was sent off for that, but
26:23
Speaker 4: like a true professional, she accepted the penalty because, as
26:27
Speaker 4: you saw, it was flagrant.
26:29
Speaker 3: She could have done serious damage.
26:31
Speaker 4: But no, instead of accepting the penalty with grace, she
26:35
Speaker 4: decided to play the race card, posting white privilege.
26:40
Speaker 3: Yes, blaming white privilege in.
26:43
Speaker 4: The WNBA, a league dominated naturally by black players, but
26:47
Speaker 4: race does seem to be an obsession with this league,
26:50
Speaker 4: given Caitlin Clark's experience. As for djon A Carrington, if
26:54
Speaker 4: one were to employ her tactics and be unkind and woke,
26:59
Speaker 4: one might point out she is a woman appropriating white
27:02
Speaker 4: blonde Barbie girl culture with her silky, smooth blonde hair.
27:06
Speaker 4: But we are not woke on this program. The hair
27:09
Speaker 4: looks awesome on her, it's the attitude that's ugly. Joining
27:13
Speaker 4: me now is Newsweek's senior editor at large, Josh Hammer. Josh,
27:17
Speaker 4: the WNBA has got itself into quite a pickle with
27:21
Speaker 4: this trans war.
27:22
Speaker 3: It didn't need to be like this.
27:24
Speaker 4: They could have just supported Sophie Cunningham when she said
27:28
Speaker 4: she loves everyone, but women's sport should be protected.
27:32
Speaker 3: It should be just for women.
27:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, but rita, I suppose.
27:34
Speaker 17: On the other hand, I'm not sure that I've ever
27:37
Speaker 17: heard the acronym WNBA actually floated about the public discourse
27:41
Speaker 17: much they have over the past few weeks. WBA is
27:44
Speaker 17: something of a nothing burger of a league historically, I
27:47
Speaker 17: mean literally, no one gave the smallest crap imaginable about
27:49
Speaker 17: the WA which is being very candid here, and now
27:52
Speaker 17: all of a sudden we have this controversy.
27:54
Speaker 2: It's not really a controversy.
27:55
Speaker 17: You have a player who says, oh my god, if
27:58
Speaker 17: you're a biological man, you should not be able to
27:59
Speaker 17: play with the gals.
28:01
Speaker 2: And now there's the drama.
28:03
Speaker 17: There's the cattiness that is the coach wherein the trans
28:06
Speaker 17: lives matter, trans girls matter. Whatever the stupid shirt was
28:09
Speaker 17: that the coach were last week. So it's this whole
28:12
Speaker 17: manufactured controversy. And I have to imagine somewhere we to
28:16
Speaker 17: deepen the balls of the WNBA corporate office, the commissioner
28:20
Speaker 17: or the vice president, someone to high up the food
28:22
Speaker 17: chain is actually probably quite happy battle this because again,
28:25
Speaker 17: people like you and I now are actually talking about
28:27
Speaker 17: this league where for the past twenty five thirty years
28:31
Speaker 17: it's been an absolute nothing burger, but with that bit
28:34
Speaker 17: of tongue in cheek sentiment a side. I think the
28:37
Speaker 17: more obvious point is the one that you correctly hit on,
28:39
Speaker 17: which is just say that if you're a dude, you
28:43
Speaker 17: can't play with the girls, and there's no controversy, like
28:45
Speaker 17: there's literally no controversy. And you know, it's been that
28:49
Speaker 17: way in many other sports for a while now. So
28:52
Speaker 17: for instance, in tennis, you've got people like Martina Navratalova.
28:55
Speaker 17: Billy Jing came the great feminist crusaders in women's tennis
28:58
Speaker 17: the nineteen sixties nineteen seven. They have been all in
29:01
Speaker 17: trying to oppose biological males and croaching a plant of
29:04
Speaker 17: women's tennis. The IOC, to their credit, the AIOC now
29:07
Speaker 17: now has a biological only policy that will be in
29:10
Speaker 17: place for the twenty twenty Olympics in Los Angeles.
29:12
Speaker 2: So it seems like.
29:13
Speaker 17: A Wnba is a law behind her reader, but hopefully,
29:16
Speaker 17: hopefully in trade they will conclusion it for a new
29:20
Speaker 17: other reason to physically protect their players from salts like
29:22
Speaker 17: this woman just like.
29:23
Speaker 3: Here now, Josh.
29:24
Speaker 4: The attacks from the media have been eye opening for
29:28
Speaker 4: some those of us who pay attention know how toxic
29:30
Speaker 4: and out of touch to the press, is particularly the
29:33
Speaker 4: sporting media, among the dumbest and wokest of all.
29:37
Speaker 3: And here's an example.
29:38
Speaker 4: After Sophie Cunningham was closed line left with a bloodied mouth,
29:43
Speaker 4: this is the headline Sophie Cunningham got a bitter taste
29:46
Speaker 4: of karma after drawing flagrant foul and fever sky.
29:51
Speaker 3: That piece was written by a.
29:52
Speaker 4: Woman, Kristin Swang Kristin Wong, But after a backlash from
29:58
Speaker 4: normal sporting fans, Sports Illustrated decided to change that headline
30:02
Speaker 4: to Sophie Cunningham's enforce a role gets reversed. Great work, team, Josh.
30:08
Speaker 4: They're saying it out loud. They're basically saying, if you
30:11
Speaker 4: stand up for women, you deserve to cop a clothesline,
30:15
Speaker 4: tackle and be left with a bloodied mouth.
30:18
Speaker 17: This is the state of sports media in the United States.
30:20
Speaker 17: I mean, this is why Clay Travis was able to
30:22
Speaker 17: start his his publication out Kick, and I was able
30:24
Speaker 17: to sell it for a pretty penny too. It's to
30:27
Speaker 17: Fox and NewsCorp program and it meant many years ago now,
30:30
Speaker 17: I mean, there was.
30:31
Speaker 2: A huge niche.
30:32
Speaker 17: There's a huge void in the sports media landscape for
30:35
Speaker 17: a sane, rational respect to Trust me. I know that
30:38
Speaker 17: because I actually am a big sports fan and sometimes
30:41
Speaker 17: I look at SI, I look at ESPN, and I say,
30:44
Speaker 17: what are you guys doing. The average American who cares
30:46
Speaker 17: about sports, I think, is Joe Sixpack, someone who is
30:51
Speaker 17: living paycheck to paycheck, goes to church on Sundays. You know,
30:54
Speaker 17: sports culture in America is not inherently woke thing, but
30:57
Speaker 17: the elite sports media there is a massive, massive HASMI
31:00
Speaker 17: huges just that. By the way, I should add one
31:02
Speaker 17: other thing. Sports Illustrated actually has somewhat infamously this annual
31:07
Speaker 17: swimsuit issue where they have a lot of swimsuit models
31:09
Speaker 17: and at some point of the past I don't know,
31:11
Speaker 17: fifteen twenty twenty of years, they started taking female athletes
31:14
Speaker 17: and doing this. I say that because guests, who's actually
31:17
Speaker 17: in the SI swimsuit issue back earlyer this year?
31:20
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it was Sophie Cunningham.
31:21
Speaker 17: So on the one hand, the Sports Illustrated has Sophie
31:24
Speaker 17: Cunningham with wearing very little clothing that the glorifying her,
31:28
Speaker 17: making her look like a model, and then they're saying
31:30
Speaker 17: it's okay if she gets whacked across the face and clothesline.
31:33
Speaker 17: It could be hospital for I mean, make up your mind.
31:35
Speaker 17: I mean, is she a model or is she gonna
31:38
Speaker 17: go to the er on the name of trans writes?
31:40
Speaker 16: Whatever?
31:40
Speaker 17: I mean's a bit of intellectual because of Frennie here
31:43
Speaker 17: as well.
31:43
Speaker 4: Frankly, absolutely some of the arguments have been so intellectually vacuous. Really,
31:50
Speaker 4: and WNBA Commissioner Kathy Engelbert hasn't helped matters. She sent
31:56
Speaker 4: a letter to all teams over the weekend addressing concerns
32:00
Speaker 4: over the inclusion of transgender athletes. This happened after two
32:04
Speaker 4: NBA players announced their intentions to declare for the WNBA draft.
32:10
Speaker 4: She wrote, I know many of you have received questions
32:13
Speaker 4: in recent weeks regarding transgender athlete participation in women's basketball,
32:17
Speaker 4: and I expect this topic will continue to receive significant attention.
32:21
Speaker 4: We recognize that this is a complex and nuanced topic,
32:24
Speaker 4: and we will continue to have important conversations with all
32:28
Speaker 4: of you and the Players Association in the weeks and
32:30
Speaker 4: months ahead. Is it really a complex and nuanced issue, Josh,
32:35
Speaker 4: I would have thought this is a black and white issue.
32:38
Speaker 4: I can't think of too many other topics that are
32:41
Speaker 4: so black and white.
32:43
Speaker 2: Well really more so than a black rode.
32:45
Speaker 16: It's you.
32:45
Speaker 17: It's an xx or an x Y issue. I mean,
32:48
Speaker 17: I mean literally, if you have if you have excess chromosomes,
32:51
Speaker 17: you play with the galles. If you have XO chromosomes,
32:54
Speaker 17: you play with the boys. It really should not be
32:56
Speaker 17: that difficult to readA it's it's utterly astounding. Now, I
33:00
Speaker 17: should note that if you a Supreme Court, we had
33:02
Speaker 17: a very favorable ruling on the issue of transgender athletes
33:05
Speaker 17: that happened a couple of months ago, but that ruling
33:08
Speaker 17: did not go far enough and merely held that if
33:10
Speaker 17: you are a sane state like Idaho or Virginia in
33:13
Speaker 17: that case, then you can protect biological female sports. Now,
33:16
Speaker 17: the logical successor to that case, which the Left season
33:19
Speaker 17: they're already freaking out about it, is that the Court
33:21
Speaker 17: probably at some poine, we'll have to answer the question
33:24
Speaker 17: as whether or not is actually prohibited, whether it's actually
33:27
Speaker 17: illegal for biological males to compete against biological females on
33:32
Speaker 17: the basis of Title nine or the Fourth Amendment's Equal
33:34
Speaker 17: Protection clause. So the Left is actually already gearing up
33:37
Speaker 17: for that fight. And personally I relish that fight. I
33:39
Speaker 17: hope that fight comes and actually would render a whole
33:42
Speaker 17: lot of this, a lot of this very dumb controversy moot.
33:45
Speaker 17: But for the time being, I guess miss Engelbert the commissioner,
33:48
Speaker 17: they find yourself something between a rock and a hard place.
33:52
Speaker 17: Because she's either going to alienate her rabbid far left
33:56
Speaker 17: base or she's going to protect her players. She can't
33:58
Speaker 17: really have both ways as I suppose.
34:01
Speaker 3: Now, let's go to Michigan.
34:03
Speaker 4: Democratic Senate candidate Abdul al Sayad is causing waves with
34:09
Speaker 4: some of his radical views and associations. We've now got
34:13
Speaker 4: Jill Biden's former press secretary, Michael L. Rosa coming out
34:17
Speaker 4: to declare he won't support Abdul el Sayed due to
34:21
Speaker 4: his refusal to distance himself from the likes of communist
34:25
Speaker 4: streamer Hassan Piker, who has said America deserved nine to
34:29
Speaker 4: eleven and that capitalists should be murdered in the streets,
34:32
Speaker 4: amongst other things. Josh the success of al sayed, it's
34:36
Speaker 4: shocked not just Republicans but many Democrats too.
34:41
Speaker 2: So he was outspent by a nearly ten to one margin.
34:43
Speaker 17: I think that's one of the most interesting data points
34:46
Speaker 17: of this whole election is that Hally Stevens was massively,
34:49
Speaker 17: massively us spending, Abdul sayed on the air. Now, admittedly,
34:53
Speaker 17: the final polling was actually a lot closer than we
34:55
Speaker 17: thought would be. So the polling and in the actual
34:58
Speaker 17: out Jed had El said up up by about ten
35:00
Speaker 17: points going into election, and he ended up winning by
35:02
Speaker 17: about a point to give or take. So it was
35:05
Speaker 17: a lot closer, a lot closer then it could have
35:08
Speaker 17: been based on the polling, which does indicate that maybe,
35:11
Speaker 17: just maybe at the very last minutes of voters were
35:13
Speaker 17: just were not on board for a socialist who was
35:18
Speaker 17: campaigning on the last day on the campaign trail with
35:20
Speaker 17: a guy has On Piker who says that America deserved
35:22
Speaker 17: nine to eleven and that he would vote for Hamas
35:24
Speaker 17: a thousand times out of a thousand over Israel. On
35:27
Speaker 17: the other hand, it's pretty astonishing that this guy actually
35:29
Speaker 17: is the major party nominee for office. And in fact,
35:32
Speaker 17: I was reading an article of thought students just this
35:35
Speaker 17: past week read up the obdual side campaign actually benefited
35:39
Speaker 17: for I believe it was over one hundred and ten
35:41
Speaker 17: thousand dollars give or take in money that came in
35:45
Speaker 17: from people connected to some degree with the Muslim Brotherhood.
35:48
Speaker 17: So his father in law is actually one of the
35:50
Speaker 17: founders of an organization called ISNA, the Long Society of
35:53
Speaker 17: North America. In North America, a federal judge has ruled
35:57
Speaker 17: that ISNA has has clear ties to hamas he's taken
36:01
Speaker 17: a lot of money from people connected to CARE the
36:03
Speaker 17: Council of American's Art Relations, which was which was an
36:05
Speaker 17: unindicted cook conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror financiing trail,
36:10
Speaker 17: the largest terror fancying bust in the history of United States.
36:12
Speaker 17: So he has all sorts of radical ties in addition
36:14
Speaker 17: to his campaigning with the Tompiker.
36:17
Speaker 2: He's very glib, he's.
36:19
Speaker 17: Very well spoken, he's very polished, very well educated. He's
36:22
Speaker 17: actually quite dangerous because he's actually he's on mam Dannie,
36:24
Speaker 17: But unlike ma'm donne, he's actually eligible at God forbid
36:27
Speaker 17: for the for the presidency. So it's potentially quite dangerous,
36:30
Speaker 17: but for now, reading God willing, he'll be stopped in November.
36:33
Speaker 4: There is a lot of ma'm danny about him. There
36:36
Speaker 4: really is that just a permanent smile. He's got some
36:40
Speaker 4: of that charm and charisma and underneath it you don't
36:44
Speaker 4: have to dig too far. There are some very ugly ideas.
36:47
Speaker 4: Now AOC has declared some of her ugly ideas of
36:51
Speaker 4: the past, the crazy positions she and other socialists advocated
36:55
Speaker 4: for no longer should be taken seriously. She said that
36:59
Speaker 4: was just woke point. Oh, it was just some crazy times.
37:03
Speaker 4: It was just like two years ago. Wasn't that long ago?
37:06
Speaker 4: And she's also shared josh with the world her egg
37:09
Speaker 4: freezing journey, and that all points to a serious presidential run.
37:15
Speaker 4: If you ask me, could we see AOC as a
37:19
Speaker 4: Democrat presidential candidate?
37:22
Speaker 17: So look, if the answerest could, then yes, emphatically. Yes,
37:26
Speaker 17: I think there's a real chance that she does. I
37:29
Speaker 17: am personal predicting reader for what it's worth, that she
37:31
Speaker 17: will simply challenge Chuck Schumer for the senatec But a
37:34
Speaker 17: lot of folks my orbit think that OOC is gonna
37:37
Speaker 17: skip Senate and just go straight for the presidency. Look
37:40
Speaker 17: this whole egg freezing thing, and look, she can do
37:43
Speaker 17: whatever she wants to do obviously with her life. That's
37:45
Speaker 17: her decision, and it's not really meant to say, but
37:48
Speaker 17: the fact that it's being so publicized is a little odd, frankly,
37:53
Speaker 17: And I guess that is I have something of a
37:56
Speaker 17: feminist statement basically saying, look, hey, I'm AOC. I was
38:00
Speaker 17: left to Congress when I was basically twenty nine or
38:02
Speaker 17: thirds of old.
38:03
Speaker 2: I did a career, and.
38:04
Speaker 17: Then maybe maybe maybe I'll get married, then maybe maybe
38:06
Speaker 17: maybe all of kids.
38:07
Speaker 2: It's like an afterthought.
38:08
Speaker 17: So I take it as a as kind of a
38:12
Speaker 17: hard feminist, sort of of girl power sort of stunt.
38:17
Speaker 17: But yeah, maybe it means she's good. She's good run
38:19
Speaker 17: for president, she's running for Senate. She's definitely not content
38:23
Speaker 17: to stay in the House. I will say that this
38:25
Speaker 17: is a woman whose ambitions, whose ego, whose vision for
38:28
Speaker 17: the means to be on the left in America is
38:30
Speaker 17: far far bigger than simply the junior legislative chamber. So
38:33
Speaker 17: whether it's the center of the presidency, the country should
38:35
Speaker 17: should brace itself for more AOC on a bigger stage.
38:38
Speaker 2: And unfortunately that is bad news for these United States.
38:41
Speaker 4: I would say, I do want to ask you a
38:44
Speaker 4: little bit more about this IVF journey, or to be
38:47
Speaker 4: more precise, the egg freezing that she's been sharing with
38:51
Speaker 4: the world because it has caused great debate. I think
38:55
Speaker 4: it's healthy to talk about this because women need to
38:58
Speaker 4: understand the bone biology and the fact that they do
39:02
Speaker 4: have a relatively narrow window to have children where not men.
39:06
Speaker 3: And some of the.
39:07
Speaker 4: Criticism I've seen of AOC is, why is she doing
39:11
Speaker 4: this given she does have a long term partner, she's
39:13
Speaker 4: been engaged for a number of years, she is thirty six.
39:17
Speaker 4: Why medicalize a process if you don't have to. It's
39:21
Speaker 4: one thing if you are that age and you don't
39:23
Speaker 4: have a partner and you're worried about never having children,
39:26
Speaker 4: and you go down that road. But she seems to
39:29
Speaker 4: have everything in place. What do you think about that debate?
39:34
Speaker 17: Well, it's fascinating to me because you're right, she does
39:37
Speaker 17: have a long term partner, and she's thirty six, thirty
39:39
Speaker 17: seven around that age, and why is she not going
39:42
Speaker 17: to marry yet at this point? I mean, if they've
39:44
Speaker 17: been deemed for some years, what it is out there
39:46
Speaker 17: is a whole of it. But this is actually one
39:47
Speaker 17: of the problems of contemporary dating culture. I think here
39:49
Speaker 17: in America reader, is that people just dates. They shack around,
39:53
Speaker 17: they're ready to do anything of them to take that
39:55
Speaker 17: formal final step to will actually fully take the momentto
39:58
Speaker 17: to the next level. And I think I think Aos
40:00
Speaker 17: as a peak millennial.
40:02
Speaker 2: She's right around the same age me. She's very emblematic.
40:04
Speaker 17: I think of that generational mentality, unfortunately, is a bad mentality. Again,
40:09
Speaker 17: I don't begrudge what she wants to do with threeguse
40:11
Speaker 17: that's not my business at all, frankly, but I do
40:14
Speaker 17: think I do think the fact that she is publicizing
40:17
Speaker 17: this so much washing's in a long term relationship is
40:20
Speaker 17: a little odd. It seems to be a horror feminist message,
40:24
Speaker 17: whereas the simpler explanation is just girl, just get married.
40:27
Speaker 17: You've been dating for years, now, just get married.
40:31
Speaker 4: Well, there's that option where you could just go down
40:33
Speaker 4: this road without taking the world on every step of
40:37
Speaker 4: the journey. Because she even showed getting her injections in
40:43
Speaker 4: getting prepared to have that egg collection done, so she
40:46
Speaker 4: is giving everyone who's interested a front row seat to
40:50
Speaker 4: this process.
40:51
Speaker 3: I don't know.
40:51
Speaker 4: Maybe it'll be educational for women. Josh Hamma, thank you
40:54
Speaker 4: so much for your time.
40:56
Speaker 2: Thank you, red appreciate it.
40:57
Speaker 4: Still to come more strife at the View, with staff
41:00
Speaker 4: reluctant to welcome back a token conservative panelist, Kinsey Schofield
41:05
Speaker 4: has all the latest entertainment.
41:08
Speaker 3: And royal news Welcome Back Now.
41:18
Speaker 4: While fans express concerns for Ariana Grande's health, her brother
41:23
Speaker 4: Frankie is out there in Chicago putting on quite a show.
41:26
Speaker 4: I'll say one thing for the boy. He can lip
41:28
Speaker 4: sync as well as his sister.
41:31
Speaker 3: Hi joining me.
41:47
Speaker 4: Now is host of the Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered podcast. Kinsey,
41:52
Speaker 4: what is happening there and what is happening with Ariana?
41:57
Speaker 9: Well, I don't know what's happening there.
42:00
Speaker 1: Like I'm a loss for words when it comes to
42:04
Speaker 1: God love Frankie. You know, he's never encountered a spotlight.
42:07
Speaker 1: He didn't immediately spread towards That's really the beginning and
42:11
Speaker 1: the end of my Frankie commentary. But I can tell
42:14
Speaker 1: you that Arianna, as you know, recently announced that she's
42:17
Speaker 1: planning to take a substantial break from public facing work
42:21
Speaker 1: and appearances. In Her team actually emphasized to CNN that
42:24
Speaker 1: this is a deliberate decision about setting boundaries and I'm
42:28
Speaker 1: not surprised to.
42:29
Speaker 9: Want a break.
42:30
Speaker 1: She's been, you know, explicit recently over how uncomfortable she
42:34
Speaker 1: is with strangers analyzing her body. She talked about the
42:37
Speaker 1: dangerous level of comfort people have developed and commenting on
42:40
Speaker 1: someone's weight, and she's she complained that when people said
42:45
Speaker 1: she looked healthier, she said, behind the scenes, you didn't
42:48
Speaker 1: know that I had an issue with prescription drugs and
42:50
Speaker 1: I was drinking. And so she's got some stuff to
42:54
Speaker 1: work out, and I'm going to give her that space
42:56
Speaker 1: to do So.
42:58
Speaker 4: That's all well, a good, but there's no denying that
43:03
Speaker 4: her weight has plummeted. She's always been pretty tiny, and
43:06
Speaker 4: now she's at a level where it looks unhealthy. There's
43:12
Speaker 4: another way to put it. And the vision that's caused
43:16
Speaker 4: the concern hasn't been vision that's been obtained by paparazzi.
43:21
Speaker 3: It's from her music video, something that.
43:24
Speaker 4: She produced and approved and shared with the world, and
43:28
Speaker 4: it's that vision that's caused the greatest concern Kinsey. So,
43:31
Speaker 4: I think it's a little bit rich to be talking
43:33
Speaker 4: about invasion of privacy when you've shared footage that you
43:37
Speaker 4: should have known was going to raise eyebrows because she
43:41
Speaker 4: looks skeletal, she looks so gaunt and malnourished.
43:47
Speaker 1: Well, it does sound like not only her team, but
43:49
Speaker 1: her family is supporting her in taking a break from
43:53
Speaker 1: her work. You know. Ryan Murphy recently said he has
43:56
Speaker 1: an acting role waiting for her when she's feeling and
44:00
Speaker 1: when she's ready to take it on.
44:02
Speaker 9: So she's getting support across the board.
44:04
Speaker 1: From people in the industry, her family members, and thankfully,
44:08
Speaker 1: you know, these celebrities are typically surrounded by yes people.
44:11
Speaker 1: So it's nice that her team, it sounds like, are
44:14
Speaker 1: going to support her break.
44:17
Speaker 3: Now.
44:18
Speaker 4: Actress Anna Faris's latest Red Card appearance has sparked health
44:22
Speaker 4: concerns as well. Have a look at the footage here, Kinsey,
44:27
Speaker 4: we seem to have a number of stars shrinking before
44:30
Speaker 4: our eyes.
44:31
Speaker 3: It's become a thing.
44:33
Speaker 4: And I understand some people are naturally thin, and that
44:37
Speaker 4: can be very healthy, being very skinny. But it's the
44:41
Speaker 4: people we've had in the public spotlight for many years
44:45
Speaker 4: who've seem to have really got to a wait that
44:49
Speaker 4: is perhaps unhealthy. And that's just another example.
44:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, and a Faris has spoken about this too and
44:56
Speaker 1: just the insecurities she's had throughout her career, called her
45:00
Speaker 1: memoir Unqualified, her podcast is called Anna Faris is unqualified,
45:04
Speaker 1: and she's talked openly about feeling inadequate and being a
45:08
Speaker 1: chronic people please are worrying about how their people perceive her.
45:12
Speaker 1: And she talked about her body insecurities in her thirties,
45:15
Speaker 1: almost feeling bullied into breast and plants, and the pressure
45:18
Speaker 1: Hollywood puts on women to stay so.
45:20
Speaker 9: Thin and youthful.
45:22
Speaker 1: I mean, these people are telling us what's going on.
45:25
Speaker 1: We just you know, we just have to pay attention.
45:28
Speaker 1: But they're telling us what's going on in some of
45:31
Speaker 1: their admissions, whether it be through their biographies or just.
45:35
Speaker 9: A hint during a media junket here or there.
45:39
Speaker 3: Now.
45:40
Speaker 4: Page six reports that staff working for The View want
45:43
Speaker 4: former co hosts Meghan McCain to stay away from the
45:46
Speaker 4: show's thirtieth anniversary. Multiple sources said they would be shocked
45:51
Speaker 4: if she even got an invite given the way she
45:54
Speaker 4: treated people.
45:55
Speaker 3: Allegedly.
45:56
Speaker 4: One source claimed she once hurled an F bomb at
46:00
Speaker 4: the executive producer in front of their studio audience. Another
46:04
Speaker 4: said she's the most horrible, biggest pain in the butt, Kinsey.
46:09
Speaker 4: This is a show that has a number of uniquely
46:12
Speaker 4: unpleasant people. Surely they can cope with little Megan McCain
46:17
Speaker 4: is that that her politics isn't left enough because she
46:20
Speaker 4: was the token conservative, even though I think a lot
46:24
Speaker 4: of Republicans see her as a rhino.
46:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, The View has built an entire television franchise around
46:30
Speaker 1: people fighting with each other. You can understand my amusement
46:33
Speaker 1: when suddenly they're clutching their pearls. Megan McCain was essentially
46:37
Speaker 1: hired to work in a four on one political argument
46:40
Speaker 1: every single morning. To your point, it's called The View,
46:44
Speaker 1: but there tends to be considerably more enthusiasm for one particular.
46:48
Speaker 9: View, the liberal one.
46:50
Speaker 1: Politically, I don't think anyone should pretend that being the
46:53
Speaker 1: conservative at that table has historically been the easiest seat
46:56
Speaker 1: in television.
46:59
Speaker 3: No, it's just mass bullying.
47:01
Speaker 4: You've got four against one, and you've got the audience
47:05
Speaker 4: which is also hard left. So you've got basically someone
47:09
Speaker 4: who's just nominating.
47:11
Speaker 3: To be beaten up, to be the.
47:15
Speaker 4: Token punching bag for the amusement of the lefty audience.
47:20
Speaker 3: And really, I don't know you'd have to. I don't know.
47:24
Speaker 4: Maybe you'd be desperate for the check, or just you
47:27
Speaker 4: enjoy being mistreated daily talking about being mistreated Howard Stern.
47:33
Speaker 4: Staffers have revealed the strange rules they had to follow
47:37
Speaker 4: while working under the famed radio host. S Kinsy and
47:41
Speaker 4: Insider told The Son that the workplace felt cultish, and
47:46
Speaker 4: staff members were told not to speak to Howard at
47:49
Speaker 4: company parties.
47:50
Speaker 3: I mean, who does he think he is?
47:51
Speaker 4: There was a time when he was a big deal,
47:54
Speaker 4: but I've got to say his latest output is almost
47:58
Speaker 4: always lame. Every time I say a little clip, I
48:02
Speaker 4: wonder how this guy has any sort of a following.
48:05
Speaker 1: Right like the gentle cuddling of Biden when Biden was
48:11
Speaker 1: on his show, You're like, who is who wasn't this guy?
48:13
Speaker 1: Didn't he call himself fart King? And this is who's
48:16
Speaker 1: talking to Joe Biden? But he spent decades.
48:19
Speaker 9: Building this myth around himself.
48:21
Speaker 1: I'm not completely shocked that eventually the workplace started operating
48:24
Speaker 1: as though the King couldn't be approached. But being told
48:27
Speaker 1: you can't speak to your boss at the company Christmas
48:30
Speaker 1: party is bizarre. At that point, you're like wondering why
48:33
Speaker 1: you even bothered going send me the bonus and I'll
48:35
Speaker 1: stay at home.
48:38
Speaker 8: Now.
48:38
Speaker 4: Brooklyn Beckham is getting roasted for his latest cooking video
48:43
Speaker 4: posted to tiktog.
48:44
Speaker 3: Let's have a little look.
48:46
Speaker 8: Of course, we get some pasta water.
48:53
Speaker 4: Sho Kinsey, he used the ocean water to boil his
49:03
Speaker 4: pasta or his noodles. I've got to say I'm on
49:05
Speaker 4: board with that. It saves you from adding salt. What
49:09
Speaker 4: is he doing with his life?
49:11
Speaker 9: I mean, I think that that's my Roman Empire. What
49:15
Speaker 9: is Brooklyn Beckham doing with his life?
49:17
Speaker 1: Some of my favorite comments online under this post is
49:20
Speaker 1: pasta water with a hint of burnt boat fuel.
49:24
Speaker 9: Please sir?
49:25
Speaker 1: As an Italian, I'm pretty sure that seawater is the
49:27
Speaker 1: best way to spend the next day on the toilet.
49:30
Speaker 9: Is there no beginning to his talents? And is this
49:34
Speaker 9: rage beat?
49:37
Speaker 4: I think everything he does has a little bit of
49:39
Speaker 4: rage bait, whether it's intentional or not.
49:42
Speaker 3: Kidsy Schofield, it's always a pleasure.
49:44
Speaker 4: Thank you so much for your insights tonight, and that's
49:47
Speaker 4: all the time we have.
49:49
Speaker 3: Next up, it's a late edition. Goodnight.
