Speaker 1: Starting right now, they show.
0:08
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panehy Show.
0:10
Speaker 3: Coming up tonight, Victoria's Anti Corruption Commission hands down its
0:15
Speaker 3: long awaited report into the Daniel Andrews government and the
0:18
Speaker 3: United fire Fighters Union. Michael Kroger and Michael Danby will
0:22
Speaker 3: join me shortly to discuss the day's top headlines. A
0:25
Speaker 3: leading child psychologist urges parents to stop showering their children
0:29
Speaker 3: with extravagant praise.
0:32
Speaker 2: Claire Row will join me on the show to.
0:33
Speaker 3: Discuss her controversial piece. John Heindereker will have the latest
0:37
Speaker 3: from the US.
0:38
Speaker 2: Including the socialist.
0:41
Speaker 3: Candidates are dominating Democrat primaries, and later in the hour,
0:46
Speaker 3: Dedi dun Levy will have the latest entertainment and royal news,
0:50
Speaker 3: including Rosy O'Donnell's unedifying meltdown, the latest one and talking
0:56
Speaker 3: about lefties. Tonight we hear from Kamala Harris. I still
1:00
Speaker 3: cannot believe that they got rid of the wasteful activist
1:04
Speaker 3: expenditure of USAID.
1:08
Speaker 4: It's so unbelievable that they got rid of USAID first.
1:14
Speaker 3: Victoria's Anti Corruption Commission has found that senior members of
1:18
Speaker 3: the Daniel Andrews government engaged in serious and concerning conduct
1:23
Speaker 3: in its dealings with union chief Peter Marshall. The report
1:27
Speaker 3: was generated by an eight year investigation into dealings between
1:31
Speaker 3: Labor and the United Firefighters Union during the twenty sixteen
1:35
Speaker 3: pay and conditions negotiations, which included secret hotel meetings and
1:41
Speaker 3: four AM text messages. IBAC did not find corrupt conduct
1:46
Speaker 3: had occurred, but it did find that senior members of
1:49
Speaker 3: government acted contrary to establish policies, procedures, codes of conduct
1:54
Speaker 3: and conventions in negotiating a deal with Marshall in twenty sixteen,
2:00
Speaker 3: and by doing so, the government placed itself in a
2:03
Speaker 3: position where mister Marshall was able to exert extraordinary influence
2:07
Speaker 3: over the negotiations for both the CFA EBA and the
2:12
Speaker 3: mfp EBA. Joining me now for more on this is
2:16
Speaker 3: former Labor MP Michael Dandy and former President of the
2:19
Speaker 3: Victorian Liberal Party Michael Kroger. Michael Kroger, I'll start with
2:23
Speaker 3: you years of investigation here, but they didn't find a
2:27
Speaker 3: smoking gun.
2:30
Speaker 1: Well they did, they just didn't find corruption because corruption
2:33
Speaker 1: is defined so narrowly, it's very hard to prove criminal
2:38
Speaker 1: intent in these situations. But no, they found this government
2:42
Speaker 1: had ministers and breached the Ministerial Code of Conduct secret
2:47
Speaker 1: backroom dealings in a hotel room to discuss agreements within the.
2:51
Speaker 5: Government and this union. I mean, reader, the bigger issue
2:53
Speaker 5: is this.
2:54
Speaker 1: It's a scandal, another scandal on scandal in the Victorian government.
2:57
Speaker 1: The bigger issues is there will come a time Australia
3:01
Speaker 1: where we have to have proper governance in the relationships
3:05
Speaker 1: between unions and the Labor Party. Unions who donate millions
3:09
Speaker 1: of dollars for the Labor Party, who are members of
3:11
Speaker 1: the ALP, whose members sit on pre selections for these ministers,
3:16
Speaker 1: decide who goes into Parliament and then front up to
3:18
Speaker 1: these very same ministers to whom they voted for or
3:21
Speaker 1: voted against and donated money to and say, oh, we
3:24
Speaker 1: want you to do this, we want you to do that.
3:27
Speaker 5: This is just a scandal.
3:30
Speaker 1: It's been going for decades and about time liberal governments
3:33
Speaker 1: brought this relationship to an end because it smells something
3:36
Speaker 1: awfully bad, Reader.
3:38
Speaker 3: Michael Danbi, Let's have a look at some of the
3:40
Speaker 3: revelations in this report. One of them is a phone
3:44
Speaker 3: conversation mister Marshall in a phone bugged by Iback on
3:48
Speaker 3: March twenty two, twenty nineteen, told a ministerial advisor this
3:53
Speaker 3: agreement was negotiated with FEN former minister Gaven Jennings in
3:57
Speaker 3: a back room. It was indoors by Efan Andrews and cabinet.
4:03
Speaker 3: Do text like this explain why Peter Marshall tried to
4:08
Speaker 3: bury this report, because he did try to make sure
4:11
Speaker 3: he never saw the light of day.
4:13
Speaker 6: Well, he was very.
4:13
Speaker 7: Anxious to see that the MFBS torpedoing of the volunteer
4:19
Speaker 7: culture of the Country Fire Authority was not revealed to
4:22
Speaker 7: the public and how he had privileged access to do that.
4:25
Speaker 6: So Michael Kraig is right.
4:26
Speaker 7: It wasn't anything financially involved, not actual corruption, dollars changing hands,
4:32
Speaker 7: but it achieved a undue political influence. Now I've seen
4:37
Speaker 7: Peter Marshall around these studios these days because he seems
4:41
Speaker 7: to have changed his colors a bit and was after
4:43
Speaker 7: just sinter Allen. But I don't approve of what he
4:47
Speaker 7: did or Andrew's giving him access to destroy the volunteer
4:51
Speaker 7: culture that we built up over so many decades in
4:54
Speaker 7: the country for Country Fire Authority in volunteer brigades.
4:59
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
5:00
Speaker 3: Michael Kroger Iback did find that Peter Marshall was afforded
5:04
Speaker 3: privileged access to senior government members which in many cases
5:09
Speaker 3: was not disclosed to other key stakeholders, and that included
5:13
Speaker 3: the CFA and the Metropolitan Fire Brigade and the CFA.
5:18
Speaker 3: Really it's been decimated in this state. Morale is low
5:22
Speaker 3: now amongst the members, well it is.
5:25
Speaker 1: I mean, it's because these volunteers can't be unionized. It's
5:28
Speaker 1: why unions tend to hate small business, because the small
5:32
Speaker 1: business employees don't want to be members of these trade unions.
5:34
Speaker 1: The unions have dramatically diminished, had their numbers diminished in
5:38
Speaker 1: recent decades in Australia for all the reasons we know.
5:43
Speaker 1: And yeah, the UFU did an immense amount to smash
5:47
Speaker 1: this small volunteer country Fire Authority because they couldn't be unionized.
5:52
Speaker 5: But this is what labor do. And you know, as
5:55
Speaker 5: Marshall set himself this.
5:56
Speaker 1: Morning, and the United Firefighters has worked as the United
5:58
Speaker 1: Firefights Union member of the ALB for over one hundred years,
6:03
Speaker 1: so of course they're going to get access. They voted
6:05
Speaker 1: labor pre selections, they voted at labor conferences. They donate
6:08
Speaker 1: money to the alb. You know this is what I'm saying, reader,
6:11
Speaker 1: This toxic relationship has got to be exposed and put
6:16
Speaker 1: it into because it is smearing Australian politics and no
6:20
Speaker 1: one knows how deep it runs.
6:23
Speaker 3: Now to Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen, who's
6:26
Speaker 3: offering businesses a twenty percent discount to install larger solar panels,
6:32
Speaker 3: all in a bit to prop up the government's faltering
6:35
Speaker 3: renewables target. Speaking at the Press Club earlier today, Chris
6:39
Speaker 3: Bowen also claimed that Australians are enthusiastic about renewables.
6:44
Speaker 8: The lesson from the cheaper home batteries policy and EV's
6:47
Speaker 8: policy for me is clear. With the right policy settings,
6:51
Speaker 8: Australians will respond enthusiastically in ways which can add up
6:55
Speaker 8: to a globally significant outcome.
6:58
Speaker 2: Michael Kroger.
6:59
Speaker 3: Chris bowl has also said the government will increase eligibility
7:03
Speaker 3: thresholds for its rooftop solar scheme. He's pulling out all
7:09
Speaker 3: stops to reach these incredible targets. And I say incredible,
7:13
Speaker 3: I could use other words that are not so complimentary,
7:17
Speaker 3: because these targets are going to do untold damage to
7:22
Speaker 3: our industries and to our households.
7:24
Speaker 2: They are just completely unachievable.
7:27
Speaker 1: Well they are, and the eighty two percent take it
7:29
Speaker 1: not going to be reached in less than four years time.
7:31
Speaker 1: This guy, he talks about people embracing things enthusiastically. What
7:36
Speaker 1: he's saying is to people like free money, people like
7:38
Speaker 1: big discounts. Yes, of course they do, Chris. They love
7:42
Speaker 1: a freebie made. You know, it's like saying they love
7:45
Speaker 1: the tax cut. Well, you know who's against that. The
7:47
Speaker 1: problem is Chris Bowen has spent billions of dollars, hundreds
7:52
Speaker 1: of billions of dollars on his on his mad schemes,
7:55
Speaker 1: with no proper accountability and read at the bottom line,
7:59
Speaker 1: is this how much as it achieved the executive I mean,
8:01
Speaker 1: what is the objective here? The objective here here is
8:04
Speaker 1: to keep the temperature down right, to suffocate global warming.
8:09
Speaker 1: He hasn't changed the temperature one job. He's cost us
8:14
Speaker 1: hundreds of billions of dollars which our children and grandchildren
8:17
Speaker 1: will have to pay off. This happy go lucky minister,
8:20
Speaker 1: who seems to have no limitations the amount of money
8:23
Speaker 1: he spent, would be one of the worst performing ministers
8:26
Speaker 1: we've had in the Commonwealth since Federation in nine one
8:29
Speaker 1: hundred and one, Yet he continues in this job. It's
8:33
Speaker 1: time for him to go. It's time for him to go. Reader.
8:37
Speaker 3: Look, I see him as the weakest link in the
8:39
Speaker 3: Albanese government. And you talk about what's his objection here,
8:44
Speaker 3: I think his objection is to get some sort of
8:46
Speaker 3: a role at the UN.
8:48
Speaker 2: Or some other global body.
8:50
Speaker 3: That seems to be what's driving him, because certainly it's
8:54
Speaker 3: not the economic well being of.
8:56
Speaker 2: Australians or Australian industry.
8:59
Speaker 7: Where is the Treasure and the Finance Minister doing what
9:03
Speaker 7: a Paul Keating or repeater Walsh would have done in
9:05
Speaker 7: a previous labor government, making an accounting of all the
9:08
Speaker 7: costs of all of these mad cap schemes. He seems
9:12
Speaker 7: to go from one to the other. Different billionaires get
9:16
Speaker 7: subsidies for green energy. Then we have this scheme because
9:20
Speaker 7: he's not reaching some false target. Chris Bone, you should
9:25
Speaker 7: look at what's happening around the rest of the world
9:27
Speaker 7: where people understand that yes, it's a good idea to
9:30
Speaker 7: have less pollution, but mad cap quotas for your renewable
9:37
Speaker 7: targets are causing complete distortions in the energy market and
9:42
Speaker 7: every other country understands it.
9:43
Speaker 3: Why can't we, Well, it's those distortions that he just
9:46
Speaker 3: refuses to acknowledge. So he talks about how popular these
9:50
Speaker 3: schemes are, how popular it is to put solar panels
9:54
Speaker 3: on your roof. We'll remove the subsidies and see how
9:56
Speaker 3: popular it is. Reapporting the market. You can't say this
10:01
Speaker 3: is what the people are asking for when you're giving
10:03
Speaker 3: taxpayer funds to prop up these industries.
10:06
Speaker 7: They should give him a harder time at the press club,
10:09
Speaker 7: the journalists all the time. You know, it's just but
10:12
Speaker 7: where is four corners doing a comprehensive accounting of the
10:16
Speaker 7: benefits versus the costs.
10:17
Speaker 6: Of all of the windmills and all of the other schemes.
10:21
Speaker 6: You never see anything like they must.
10:22
Speaker 3: Be mad if someone suggested that of the ABC, that'd
10:25
Speaker 3: be marched outside and probably send into some sort of
10:28
Speaker 3: re education.
10:29
Speaker 6: Well, let local Channel seven did a good program on that.
10:31
Speaker 2: He did, he did, He Liam did do a good
10:33
Speaker 2: job on that one.
10:34
Speaker 3: Now, exclusive polling commissioned by The Herald Sun has provided
10:38
Speaker 3: an early read on Ben Carroll's chances of leading Labor
10:41
Speaker 3: to victory in November. Labour's primary vote has lifted two
10:45
Speaker 3: percentage points to twenty five percent, but they still trail
10:49
Speaker 3: the Coalition on thirty percent. And we've got one nation
10:52
Speaker 3: polling twenty two percent. Voters are still not convinced by
10:57
Speaker 3: the change in labor leadership. We're just twenty seven percent
11:01
Speaker 3: saying they trust Ben Carroll to act in Victoria's best interest.
11:06
Speaker 3: Michael Kroger, the state election looks like it's going to
11:09
Speaker 3: be a three way contest.
11:12
Speaker 1: Well at Limb's quickly Rider November twenty eight. I think
11:16
Speaker 1: it is coming around very quickly. But look, Jess Wilson's
11:19
Speaker 1: favorite to win. I think it's hard for Ben Carroll
11:22
Speaker 1: to win, although he could. I mean, you know what
11:25
Speaker 1: labor normally do when they're desperate, They play dirty and
11:27
Speaker 1: they give away free money. So who little Chris Bowen,
11:31
Speaker 1: I would think, and just hand out free money, you know,
11:33
Speaker 1: because that's popular, as Chris Bone himself says, it's immensely
11:36
Speaker 1: popular giving away free money.
11:38
Speaker 5: Oh well, well done, Chris.
11:39
Speaker 1: So I would expect Ben Carroll to cancel this suburban
11:42
Speaker 1: rail network loop here in Victoria, which is a railway
11:45
Speaker 1: to nowhere, which is costing tens of billions of dollars
11:48
Speaker 1: and that'll suly.
11:52
Speaker 3: Surely he can't cancel that given the expenditure that has
11:55
Speaker 3: already been sunk there. I mean, that is such a way, said,
12:00
Speaker 3: makes cutting up that contract for the East Westlink look
12:04
Speaker 3: like nothing. This this is We've spent billions on this
12:07
Speaker 3: project already in contracts.
12:09
Speaker 6: We have companies that sort of hold them.
12:11
Speaker 5: Well, what he could do, we could transfer the contracts.
12:13
Speaker 1: To the the rail link, to the airport. So you
12:18
Speaker 1: were working on the SORL, now we're reading your contract.
12:20
Speaker 1: Now you're going to work on this, on this money
12:23
Speaker 1: gazzling project.
12:24
Speaker 5: Look, reader, these.
12:25
Speaker 1: People have no shame. They play a different game to us.
12:28
Speaker 1: What is what is five to ten billion dollars worth
12:30
Speaker 1: of the public's money. If it gets in the way
12:32
Speaker 1: of an election victory, they'll just write it off as
12:35
Speaker 1: they do the money they waste it on the Conworth games.
12:38
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's scandalous that the Labor Party gets
12:40
Speaker 1: away with this and has the gal this Ben Carroll
12:43
Speaker 1: has the goal to seek re election.
12:45
Speaker 5: He was there, He's been in that poem through the.
12:47
Speaker 1: Whole of these scandals and says, oh no, no, nothing
12:51
Speaker 1: to see here, I'm new Man. Move you know, moving
12:54
Speaker 1: along nothing to see. I mean it does a scandalss
12:57
Speaker 1: waste of money, But these people have no shame readers,
12:59
Speaker 1: so yes.
12:59
Speaker 5: Of course it's like and I think they probably will.
13:04
Speaker 3: But Ben Carroll is a new face. Most Victorians don't
13:07
Speaker 3: know him. According to that poll, not many Victorians trust
13:11
Speaker 3: him yet. But a two percentage point jump is that
13:16
Speaker 3: an indication that people have got an open mind, that
13:20
Speaker 3: he is different to just into Alan and Dan Andrews?
13:23
Speaker 3: Or is that really not the sort of bounce you
13:25
Speaker 3: want to get when you change lead day?
13:27
Speaker 2: Is it inconsequential?
13:28
Speaker 7: Two percent may help him survive in seats in the
13:32
Speaker 7: out of southeast where the margin is twelve percent and
13:35
Speaker 7: they only get a ten percent swing against against them.
13:39
Speaker 7: Michael will know they need sixteen seats the Liberals to win,
13:43
Speaker 7: and if you add a twenty two coalition to thirty
13:47
Speaker 7: one nation, you get fifty two. But the question is
13:50
Speaker 7: can you transfer those preferences? Michael Krager would know a
13:54
Speaker 7: lot more about that than us sitting here, But I'm
13:57
Speaker 7: not sure one nation in the past have kept their
14:00
Speaker 7: promise of delivering preferences to other.
14:03
Speaker 3: Party when when the coalition consistently says we will not
14:07
Speaker 3: do a deal with them, whether federally or at state level.
14:10
Speaker 3: We've had Jane Hume just this week saying there will
14:12
Speaker 3: be no deal. Whilst I'm around, Jess Wilson's really made
14:16
Speaker 3: no moves to have any sort of an alliance with
14:19
Speaker 3: one nation.
14:19
Speaker 6: So happy to get their preferences.
14:22
Speaker 3: Though they may be happy to get their preferences, but
14:25
Speaker 3: there's no preference discipline when it comes from one nation.
14:28
Speaker 3: It's not like the Greens preferences going to labor. Those
14:31
Speaker 3: one nation preferences. I don't know what percentage Michael Kroger,
14:35
Speaker 3: but a sizeable percentage goes back to labor.
14:38
Speaker 2: So to count.
14:39
Speaker 3: On one nation to get you elected when you've treated
14:42
Speaker 3: them with this stain, I think there's a little bit
14:46
Speaker 3: of audacity there, and I think the Liberals need to
14:50
Speaker 3: read the figures. They need to understand that they need
14:52
Speaker 3: to do some sort of a deal, even if it's
14:55
Speaker 3: just a loose preference deal.
14:57
Speaker 5: Well, I think that is what's happening going to happen.
15:00
Speaker 1: I mean, normally we'd get, depending on the election, sixty
15:02
Speaker 1: to seventy percent of one nation preferences. Now it's a
15:05
Speaker 1: bit higher because Albanese is so bad and the state
15:09
Speaker 1: Labor governments are so bad that one nation voters can't
15:11
Speaker 1: cop them. But you're right, the Greens preferences now used
15:15
Speaker 1: to be low eighties, now their high eighties directly to
15:17
Speaker 1: Labor Party. But what we send, reader, is this not
15:20
Speaker 1: that we won't have discussions with one nation. The questions
15:23
Speaker 1: have been will you form a coalition government with one nation?
15:26
Speaker 1: And the answer is no, you can't have a three
15:28
Speaker 1: I don't think you can have a three party coalition government,
15:31
Speaker 1: can you. We've got the Liberal Party, the National Party
15:34
Speaker 1: and one Nation who've never been in government.
15:37
Speaker 5: They've got one point market.
15:39
Speaker 2: That's all like these numbers.
15:43
Speaker 1: I don't think there is lable government to be in
15:46
Speaker 1: government enough to be part of a coalition, obviously, readA.
15:50
Speaker 1: What we'll do is some kind of preference arrangement with them,
15:53
Speaker 1: so that we'll be putting the Greens last and Labor
15:56
Speaker 1: second last.
15:57
Speaker 5: Of course we'll be supporting those two. You might agree to.
16:02
Speaker 3: If if you've got one nation MPs who are being
16:07
Speaker 3: elected and you need their numbers, whether we're talking federally
16:11
Speaker 3: or in Victoria, and you need their numbers to form government,
16:14
Speaker 3: to form a majority, why wouldn't you do that, why
16:18
Speaker 3: would you rule that out? And the political climate in
16:22
Speaker 3: Australia has changed. We've never had one nation polling these
16:25
Speaker 3: sorts of numbers. We've never had this scenario really being
16:29
Speaker 3: a life possibility. So do the Liberals need to wake
16:33
Speaker 3: up to the twenty six political climate?
16:36
Speaker 2: Things have changed?
16:38
Speaker 5: No, it's a bit more complex than that.
16:40
Speaker 1: Don't forget before the elections in Neil every case we're
16:43
Speaker 1: in coalition with the National Party. We have worked out
16:45
Speaker 1: our policies with the National Party, so when we hit
16:48
Speaker 1: the ground as a government, the two parties are completely
16:52
Speaker 1: aligned on policy and the government is a stable government
16:55
Speaker 1: because we agree on policies. People are suggesting that after
16:59
Speaker 1: election we haven't shared policies with one nation where we
17:03
Speaker 1: may disagree on any number of policies, that we then
17:06
Speaker 1: go into coalition government with a party whose policies we
17:10
Speaker 1: may disagree with in many fields. That is a recipe
17:13
Speaker 1: for an extremely unstable government which might not last one term. Reader,
17:19
Speaker 1: when you've had no policy discussions at all, that.
17:24
Speaker 3: Otherwise hand power to labor indefinitely. That or otherwise hand
17:29
Speaker 3: labor to hand power to labor indefinitely, you're going to
17:32
Speaker 3: see Labor winning elections with a primary vote of under
17:36
Speaker 3: thirty percent and reta.
17:38
Speaker 7: The One Nation is polling best in the regions and
17:41
Speaker 7: they may replace the National Party so effectively. The Liberals
17:44
Speaker 7: choice may be to go into coalition with One Nation
17:47
Speaker 7: or nobody because the National Party may be wiped out
17:50
Speaker 7: by One Nation.
17:51
Speaker 3: Well, the federal election is a long way away, but
17:54
Speaker 3: if the current polling stands, the Liberal Party has to
17:59
Speaker 3: rethink their current strategy. It is just not workable with
18:03
Speaker 3: what the electorate is telling them. Michael Kroger Michael Danby,
18:07
Speaker 3: always a pleasure, Thank you for your time to see
18:09
Speaker 3: you reader Now. Educational psychologist Clairo has penned a piece
18:14
Speaker 3: in the News called Papers This Morning that has got
18:17
Speaker 3: parents talking. This piece has caused a lot of debate,
18:20
Speaker 3: with Claire encouraging parents to stop extravagant, unearned praise of
18:25
Speaker 3: their children. She says parents are confusing confidence with competence,
18:31
Speaker 3: and she writes, when did it become so unacceptable to
18:34
Speaker 3: be honest with children about what they're good at and
18:37
Speaker 3: what they're not. Somewhere along the way, we seem to
18:40
Speaker 3: have decided that encouragement means telling children they're good at everything.
18:46
Speaker 3: Claro joins me, Now, Claire, I love this piece. I'd
18:50
Speaker 3: argue having a generation of kids with big but fragile
18:54
Speaker 3: egos is going to cause all sorts of problems.
18:58
Speaker 9: Hi, Rietak You, yeah, well, I think it already has.
19:02
Speaker 10: I think it has with young people entering the workforce
19:04
Speaker 10: out of university thinking they.
19:06
Speaker 9: Know it all with little or no experience.
19:09
Speaker 10: I think there's a difference between confidence and ego because
19:13
Speaker 10: there is healthy confidence, but that's built on confidence, you know,
19:17
Speaker 10: it's built on having tackled things and making mistakes and
19:20
Speaker 10: realizing that life goes on. But ego is really different.
19:25
Speaker 10: And I think that that's what I'm commenting on it,
19:26
Speaker 10: because that's based on external validation. And in my column
19:31
Speaker 10: I recalled as a young psychologist watching this mother just
19:35
Speaker 10: tell their young child that, you know, they were the
19:37
Speaker 10: best drawer in the world and everything they drew was fantastic.
19:40
Speaker 9: This kid's drawing was not.
19:42
Speaker 10: Very good, like he had really delayed motor skills, but
19:45
Speaker 10: he was great at soccer, Like he was great on
19:47
Speaker 10: a soccer pitch.
19:48
Speaker 9: Right, So I just kind of thought.
19:50
Speaker 10: To myself, when do we stop being able to just
19:53
Speaker 10: acknowledge that kids have strength and weaknesses. And what's going
19:57
Speaker 10: to happen if we tell kids they're exceptional at everything?
20:01
Speaker 10: I mean, the first thing is I think they'll stop trying.
20:03
Speaker 10: I mean, if you're the best at everything to start
20:05
Speaker 10: off with, well, you're the best, and where is the
20:08
Speaker 10: motivation to put in the hard work to get any better.
20:13
Speaker 3: Well you've got that issue, but you've also got them
20:16
Speaker 3: being exposed to the real world without any resilience because
20:21
Speaker 3: parents are so scared to say no to their child,
20:24
Speaker 3: to offer any sort of criticism, so they don't build
20:28
Speaker 3: that resilience. And you can't manufacture resilience, can you, Claig.
20:31
Speaker 3: You need to have it built up so when you
20:34
Speaker 3: are in the big wide world by yourself, you can
20:37
Speaker 3: withstand someone being critical of you or demanding something that
20:42
Speaker 3: perhaps puts you out of your comfort zone.
20:45
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's exactly right.
20:46
Speaker 10: Resilience is not something that we can hand kids overnight
20:51
Speaker 10: with our words. It's something that they have to develop,
20:53
Speaker 10: as you said, by experience. And every time a child
20:56
Speaker 10: solves problem on their own or here's no works, experiences
21:00
Speaker 10: disappointment and they have to persevere and they have that
21:04
Speaker 10: to bounce back. It's a muscle that they're building, and
21:07
Speaker 10: I think, you know, parents, I get at parents want
21:09
Speaker 10: to naturally protect their children from discomfort. But like most
21:13
Speaker 10: things in the world, we have swung so far the
21:15
Speaker 10: other way. Discomfort is actually developmentally, really really important. It's
21:21
Speaker 10: how children learn difficult feelings are temporary. And I always
21:26
Speaker 10: say to parents in my office, you know, you've got
21:28
Speaker 10: eighteen years to turn out a fully functioning adult in
21:31
Speaker 10: the world. Right, And they come to me and the
21:33
Speaker 10: kid's nine or ten, right, you're over halfway through times ticking.
21:38
Speaker 10: As humans, we spend a lot longer raising our young
21:41
Speaker 10: than any other species. You've got eighteen years, and it's
21:44
Speaker 10: not to give them and prepare them for childhood.
21:47
Speaker 9: It's to prepare them for adulthood.
21:51
Speaker 3: And we've got this in the schools. It's not just
21:54
Speaker 3: in the home. In the schools, you've got participation awards.
21:58
Speaker 3: Everyone gets a ribbon for just being there. We've got
22:01
Speaker 3: this cottonwool.
22:02
Speaker 2: Generation that really doesn't here.
22:04
Speaker 3: Know too often, I've had arguments that that leads to
22:09
Speaker 3: more bullying. Instead of actually making the kids lead a
22:12
Speaker 3: little bit softer and more tolerant of others, it makes
22:16
Speaker 3: them into little monsters. In some circumstances, yeah, well, I
22:22
Speaker 3: think I mean everyone these says talks about that that
22:24
Speaker 3: participation award culture.
22:26
Speaker 10: I think maybe the intention was a good one. Yeah,
22:29
Speaker 10: we want children to feel included, but also children aren't stupid,
22:33
Speaker 10: like they know which team won or who was the fastest,
22:37
Speaker 10: or who gave the strongest performance, Like they don't need
22:40
Speaker 10: adults to pretend that everyone achieved exactly the same outcome.
22:45
Speaker 9: So yeah, absolutely, And I think at the end of
22:48
Speaker 9: the day, then we've got kids who are really poorly.
22:50
Speaker 10: Equipped to be able to cope to say, you know,
22:53
Speaker 10: I gave it my best shot, which of course this
22:55
Speaker 10: is what we should praise, and you gave it your
22:57
Speaker 10: best shot. You're not a great runner, but that's okay.
23:00
Speaker 10: We can keep practicing. But someone else won and let's
23:03
Speaker 10: celebrate them. So inclusion and participation acknowledgment great, but not
23:09
Speaker 10: that we you know that everyone wins and everyone achieved
23:12
Speaker 10: the same because that's not reality, and kids know that.
23:17
Speaker 2: Clairo always love your insights. Thanks for your time.
23:20
Speaker 3: Tonight, still to come, Lefties Losing It plus the latest
23:27
Speaker 3: from the US, including socialist candidates dominating Democrat primaries.
23:32
Speaker 2: John Heinderaker is next.
23:42
Speaker 3: You're watching the reader Panehy show, and it's time for
23:45
Speaker 3: left is losing it.
23:46
Speaker 2: Let's start with Carmala.
23:48
Speaker 3: She is back and she's still shook that the Trump
23:51
Speaker 3: administration cut USAID. You know, that fraudulent program that was
23:57
Speaker 3: used to run leftist activist projects around the world world.
24:02
Speaker 4: It's so unbelievable that they got rid of USAI d
24:09
Speaker 4: and you saw the recent numbers, as many as what
24:12
Speaker 4: is six hundred seven hundred thousand people have died.
24:17
Speaker 2: No one has died.
24:18
Speaker 3: Kamala calmed down, love and she is in a terrible
24:22
Speaker 3: company there pushing the false notion that USAID cuts are
24:25
Speaker 3: causing widespread debts.
24:28
Speaker 2: Here is Krack and Hoe enthusiast Hunter Biden.
24:31
Speaker 11: Let me tell you where the genocide is about to occur,
24:34
Speaker 11: and it is occurring right now directly because of Donald
24:38
Speaker 11: Trump and Elon Musk. Donald Trump, under the direction of
24:43
Speaker 11: Elon Musk, ended USAID.
24:47
Speaker 6: And when I was talking about the.
24:50
Speaker 11: What the good that the United States could do, it
24:54
Speaker 11: could not be more embodied than in the work that
24:56
Speaker 11: USAID has done over the course of decades.
25:00
Speaker 2: Side.
25:00
Speaker 3: Really, this is a man who was, along with Anthony Fauci,
25:04
Speaker 3: granted a pardon, a full and unconditional pardon by Daddy.
25:09
Speaker 2: Thanks for guy.
25:10
Speaker 3: Now let's see what Elon Musk, who headed DOGE, has
25:13
Speaker 3: to say. He wrote worth noting that any USAID funding
25:18
Speaker 3: that appeared to have the slightest merit whatsoever for helping
25:22
Speaker 3: people in need was moved to the State Department. Only
25:26
Speaker 3: the funding where they provided no evidence at all for
25:30
Speaker 3: who would receive the money was stopped. But it's a genocide,
25:35
Speaker 3: claims Hunter Biden. Really the biggest grifting NEPO baby that
25:40
Speaker 3: has ever passed through the White House, and the most hateful,
25:43
Speaker 3: it seems.
25:44
Speaker 2: Listen to this.
25:45
Speaker 3: Demented die tribe about the Trumps. Hunter wants President Trump's grandchildren,
25:51
Speaker 3: even the toddlers, presumably to suffer. Meanwhile, Hunter and the
25:56
Speaker 3: rest of his family don't even acknowledge Hunter's in biological child.
26:01
Speaker 2: Remember Navy And.
26:02
Speaker 11: As a release to Donald Trump, kim sons daughter, I
26:07
Speaker 11: mean it, all of them, the whole family, down to
26:09
Speaker 11: the grandchildren.
26:10
Speaker 6: I hope for the for for.
26:12
Speaker 11: For the rest of time that I am on this earth,
26:16
Speaker 11: that their names will live in ignomy. I'm and so.
26:22
Speaker 11: And by the way, here's the thing, like, oh, this
26:24
Speaker 11: is going to get clipped, and this is going to
26:25
Speaker 11: be the thing, and you know, you go out.
26:27
Speaker 5: There, But let me just tell you something.
26:29
Speaker 11: What would you expect me to say? What would you
26:32
Speaker 11: expect me to say about a man that treats my
26:34
Speaker 11: father that way?
26:36
Speaker 6: Publicly?
26:36
Speaker 11: What would you expect me to say about a man
26:38
Speaker 11: that treats my mother that way, that treats my sister
26:41
Speaker 11: that way?
26:41
Speaker 6: They stole a diary and published it.
26:44
Speaker 2: Doesn't he sound just like his dad?
26:46
Speaker 3: And it seems the cognitive decline has set in early. Frankly,
26:50
Speaker 3: it is absurd to claim that Trump had anything to
26:53
Speaker 3: do with the diary of your sister being released, and
26:57
Speaker 3: that diary detailed, Frankly, some shocking, disturbing allegations about the
27:02
Speaker 3: Biden family now too. Francesca Hung a Democratic Socialist aka communist,
27:08
Speaker 3: a former Wisconsin state rep who wants to be the
27:12
Speaker 3: next governor of the Badger state, and of course the
27:15
Speaker 3: media are largely on her side. But this woman has
27:19
Speaker 3: got some weird ideas.
27:21
Speaker 12: Overwarming is an evil product of capitalism. It's wrapped up
27:26
Speaker 12: in both words like technological advancement, market competitiveness, or my favorite,
27:33
Speaker 12: fiscal responsibility. What we've learned is that the climate crisis
27:38
Speaker 12: is America's steadfast celebration of white supremacy. It is a
27:43
Speaker 12: testament to the same values that motivated and crown enslavement, redlining,
27:49
Speaker 12: settler colonialism, and the violent sect of Anigenous plans and life.
27:54
Speaker 2: Oh yes, she's quite crazy.
27:56
Speaker 3: The so called climate crisis is a steadfaster libration of
28:00
Speaker 3: white supremacy. Interesting given the biggest emitter in the world
28:05
Speaker 3: is China. Frankly, there was too much crazy to unpack there.
28:09
Speaker 3: But I'm sure this woman can't be detached from reality
28:12
Speaker 3: on all issues. Let's see what she has to say
28:15
Speaker 3: about law and order, crime and punishment.
28:18
Speaker 13: We know now that the billions invested in the criminal
28:21
Speaker 13: legal system is not working. We are spending on incarcerating
28:26
Speaker 13: an individual more than tuition for UW.
28:29
Speaker 2: Madison Lady, Are you okay?
28:31
Speaker 3: I'm all for lowering the spend on incarcerated criminals, but
28:35
Speaker 3: that doesn't mean I want them on the streets. This
28:38
Speaker 3: woman is such a crazy radical. She can't even give
28:41
Speaker 3: a clear assurance that she won't abolish the police.
28:45
Speaker 2: She was asked repeatedly and she refused to rule it out.
28:49
Speaker 10: You've gone long term want to abolish police, but ultimate you.
28:53
Speaker 13: Know, I believe that we have to be serious about
28:56
Speaker 13: public safety, and I'm going to be a governor that
28:58
Speaker 13: is more serious than any one else in making sure
29:01
Speaker 13: that we are building systems up here.
29:03
Speaker 2: The answer is no, Franny.
29:05
Speaker 3: If a journalist asks you, do you want to abolish
29:07
Speaker 3: the police, the simple answer is no, I'm not crazy.
29:10
Speaker 3: Of course I don't want to abolish the police. But
29:13
Speaker 3: she didn't say that. She had multiple opportunities, and she
29:16
Speaker 3: won't deny that's the ultimate goal, because that's the ultimate goal,
29:20
Speaker 3: and her nutty supporters back it. This is the modern Democrats, folks.
29:25
Speaker 3: I think we are in a climate crisis. They think
29:27
Speaker 3: a climate crisis is there to celebrate white supremacy and
29:31
Speaker 3: that we should abolish the police. And why not abolish
29:34
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving whilst we're added now. Hog was asked about this
29:38
Speaker 3: in a CNN interview, but of course the question was
29:41
Speaker 3: framed to criticize Republicans digging up the past, you know,
29:45
Speaker 3: the ancient past.
29:45
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty one, Kitlyn.
29:48
Speaker 3: Collins gave Hong every opportunity to back away from her
29:52
Speaker 3: call to cancel Thanksgiving, but again she floundered.
29:56
Speaker 14: Keeps highlighting and you know, obviously likely would continue to
29:59
Speaker 14: do so before November. Should you win. One thing that
30:03
Speaker 14: they brought up as well was a post from you
30:05
Speaker 14: in twenty twenty one where you said Americans should cancel Thanksgiving.
30:10
Speaker 14: Should have done this in sixteen twenty one. The post
30:14
Speaker 14: has been deleted, Republicans have been highlighting it. Do you
30:17
Speaker 14: still believe that Thanksgiving should be canceled?
30:23
Speaker 15: I'm a chef and one of the first meals that
30:25
Speaker 15: I made that was for the community when I was
30:30
Speaker 15: sixteen was a Thanksgiving meal.
30:33
Speaker 3: What the answer is, No, Frannie, I don't think Thanksgiving
30:37
Speaker 3: should be canceled.
30:38
Speaker 2: But she didn't say that. She talked about being a
30:41
Speaker 2: chef and what she did when she was sixteen.
30:44
Speaker 3: But of course she does eventually give her real answer.
30:47
Speaker 3: She hates Thanksgiving and thinks it's harmful.
30:51
Speaker 15: But Thanksgiving is also a time that's incredibly painful for
30:54
Speaker 15: many people in our communities, and so I think there
30:58
Speaker 15: I wanted to make sure that people unders that there
31:00
Speaker 15: are multiple views.
31:02
Speaker 3: Yes, there are multiple views, including your one calling for
31:05
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving to be canceled.
31:07
Speaker 2: You know, the only thing that unites.
31:09
Speaker 3: These radicals, whether they're communist, Islamists, climate cultists, is a
31:14
Speaker 3: share hatred of America at the West. Let's bring in
31:18
Speaker 3: the Center for the American Experiment President and co founder
31:22
Speaker 3: of the popular power Line blog, John Heindereicher, John, please
31:27
Speaker 3: tell me this woman, this absolute radical, is not heavily
31:31
Speaker 3: favored to win the Democratic primary for Wisconsin governor.
31:37
Speaker 16: Rita Socialists have been winning Democratic primaries all across the
31:40
Speaker 16: country this year, and it does look like Francesca Hang
31:44
Speaker 16: will be the Democrats nominee for governor of Wisconsin. She's
31:48
Speaker 16: way ahead in the polls. Her main opponent has dropped out,
31:52
Speaker 16: the current governor, and some other Democrats are trying to
31:55
Speaker 16: stop her, but it looks like she's going to win
31:58
Speaker 16: the primary. With that means is that my friend Tom Tiffany,
32:02
Speaker 16: the Republican nominee for governor, should win the general election easily.
32:09
Speaker 2: Well, you would hope so.
32:11
Speaker 3: But we've seen these Democrats, socialists aka communists have all
32:16
Speaker 3: sorts of success in parts of America. Obviously New York
32:19
Speaker 3: is where they've seem to have really dominated recently. Who's
32:24
Speaker 3: behind them? There's the activist class. But are they getting
32:30
Speaker 3: money from rich donors?
32:31
Speaker 2: What's behind their influence?
32:36
Speaker 16: Well, they have billionaire donors. You know, a lot of
32:39
Speaker 16: their donors are like actual lives or widows of billionaires,
32:44
Speaker 16: and they're popular for whatever reason. George, Yeah, all right,
32:50
Speaker 16: and so they have a ton of financial support. It's
32:52
Speaker 16: kind of funny because if you ever see a picture
32:55
Speaker 16: of a Democratic Socialist of America get together a meeting,
32:58
Speaker 16: they're all white. This is the whitest group in America.
33:03
Speaker 16: And there's a certain demographic you know that there's just
33:07
Speaker 16: catnip for these young liberal people.
33:12
Speaker 2: Absolutely, there's not much diversity.
33:15
Speaker 3: They talk endlessly about diversity, but when you look at
33:19
Speaker 3: the support base, there's not much diversity. Now, this obsession
33:24
Speaker 3: with climate change, about de industrialization, doomsday scenarios, we've been
33:30
Speaker 3: hearing for years now, the climate catastrophism, it's called You
33:36
Speaker 3: wrote about that this week in power Line, and I
33:40
Speaker 3: want to ask you specifically about these repeated claims that
33:43
Speaker 3: climate change is causing wildfires forest fires? Are we seeing
33:49
Speaker 3: more fires and more intense fires because of man made
33:52
Speaker 3: climate change?
33:53
Speaker 16: Here in the United States, acreage burned by wildfires is
33:57
Speaker 16: down by eighty percent from the eighteen twenties. In the
34:01
Speaker 16: nineteen thirties, and that is because we've learned how to
34:03
Speaker 16: manage forests and even indigenous people knew how to manage forests.
34:09
Speaker 16: The only place where fires are up is California, and
34:13
Speaker 16: that's because California has turned forest management over to the environmentalists,
34:18
Speaker 16: who do an incompetent job of it.
34:22
Speaker 2: Oh they do.
34:22
Speaker 3: They don't seem to have water to fight fires, so
34:25
Speaker 3: that seems to be a bit of an impediment. Now
34:28
Speaker 3: I'm going to do a big WNBA expose on tomorrow's program.
34:35
Speaker 2: This league is rotten.
34:36
Speaker 3: I've been looking at it all week, John, it is
34:40
Speaker 3: rotten to the core. There appears to be one brave,
34:43
Speaker 3: principled player, Sophie Cunningham standing up for women's rights, standing
34:48
Speaker 3: up for young girls. The rest of them don't seem
34:51
Speaker 3: to know what a woman is, or they too scared
34:53
Speaker 3: to say what a woman is, including Sophie Cunningham's own coach,
34:57
Speaker 3: Stephanie white Man.
35:00
Speaker 14: Through testa's biological male participating in women's sports.
35:03
Speaker 6: What's your personal stance, Yeah, I mean, I'm I.
35:06
Speaker 9: Don't know that I would say that I'm educated enough
35:08
Speaker 9: from a scientific standpoint. I don't ever believe that exclusion
35:12
Speaker 9: is an answer.
35:13
Speaker 3: I just don't. There you go, John, she doesn't know
35:16
Speaker 3: what the w in the WNBA stands for she works
35:21
Speaker 3: in professional sport but thinks she's not qualified to talk
35:26
Speaker 3: about the fact that men are bigger, faster, stronger.
35:31
Speaker 16: Yeah, you know, we to The latest chapter in this
35:33
Speaker 16: controversy took place just the day before yesterday in my
35:37
Speaker 16: home city of Minneapolis. The Indiana Fevers, Sophie Cunningham and
35:41
Speaker 16: Caitlin Clark's team played the Minnesota Links. There were demonstrations
35:46
Speaker 16: and counter demonstrations. Pro woman activists like Riley Gaines attended
35:51
Speaker 16: to support Sophie Cunningham, but the coach of the Links
35:55
Speaker 16: wore a shirt supporting trans players in her league. And
36:00
Speaker 16: the WNAA is resolutely in favor of men playing in
36:04
Speaker 16: women's sports, which is really perverse because if they actually
36:08
Speaker 16: allowed men to play in their league, there would not
36:11
Speaker 16: be any women left. So it's really a very it's
36:15
Speaker 16: a very bizarre situation.
36:19
Speaker 3: It is John, if they allowed boys men to play,
36:22
Speaker 3: they would lose to an under fourteen boys side. I mean,
36:26
Speaker 3: the difference is just so dramatic that they wouldn't have
36:31
Speaker 3: a league. So to have this crazy stance where they
36:36
Speaker 3: are denying biological reality, it's.
36:40
Speaker 2: So self defeating.
36:41
Speaker 3: But they're so ideologically captured, and I think it's a
36:46
Speaker 3: massive turn off for sports fans. John, I think it's
36:48
Speaker 3: hurting their league as much as they think that this
36:52
Speaker 3: controversy with Sophie Cunningham speaking, she's the problem. I think
36:57
Speaker 3: they've all exposed they're the problem because they're at odds
37:01
Speaker 3: with the overwhelming majority of the population. This is an
37:04
Speaker 3: eighty twenty ninety ten issue. This isn't a fifty to
37:07
Speaker 3: fifty issue.
37:09
Speaker 16: No, it really isn't. Reader. I guess you could say
37:11
Speaker 16: in their defense that they're getting way more publicity than
37:14
Speaker 16: that league has ever had before. There's more people paying
37:17
Speaker 16: attention to it, for for better or worse. You know,
37:20
Speaker 16: Clay Travis has put up ten million dollars to play
37:24
Speaker 16: a state champion high school boys team against the WNBA
37:30
Speaker 16: champions of a ten million dollar wager, and you know
37:34
Speaker 16: he would win that bet. A state high.
37:36
Speaker 9: School champion boys team.
37:38
Speaker 16: Would actually beat the w NBA champion. So this whole
37:42
Speaker 16: trans idea in that context is completely crazy.
37:48
Speaker 3: Oh, it is absolutely crazy. I hope he gets that
37:50
Speaker 3: up because this league also needs money. Yes, it's getting
37:53
Speaker 3: a bit of coverage now, but last time I checked,
37:56
Speaker 3: they were making huge losses every year, So they're subsidized
38:00
Speaker 3: by the competitions, the men's competition that actually makes money. Now, John,
38:05
Speaker 3: you wrote another superb piece this week for the power
38:08
Speaker 3: Line blog on the SPLC, the Southern Poverty Law Center.
38:13
Speaker 3: They wielded such enormous power not too long ago. They
38:17
Speaker 3: still do wield some power in some quarters. But you
38:20
Speaker 3: say it's been a bad year for the group. Tell
38:24
Speaker 3: me about this publication of THEIRS called the Year in
38:28
Speaker 3: Hate and Extremism twenty twenty five.
38:31
Speaker 16: Yeah, it's almost funny, reader, because they say here that
38:34
Speaker 16: twenty twenty five was a terrible year. It was the
38:37
Speaker 16: year when the hard right took over the American government
38:40
Speaker 16: and social media goes on and on. Well, it was
38:43
Speaker 16: a terrible year for the SPLC because it came out
38:47
Speaker 16: that this is the year when they were exposed as
38:50
Speaker 16: one of the principal funders of the same fringe racist
38:54
Speaker 16: groups like the Ku Klux Klan that they have been
38:57
Speaker 16: pretending to oppose for many years. So it's almost laughable
39:02
Speaker 16: to see that I'm trying to carry on the same
39:06
Speaker 16: charade when pretty much everybody is onto their game.
39:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, and their game included John paying for these race writers,
39:18
Speaker 3: paying for people to show up pretending to be white supremacist,
39:23
Speaker 3: or even colluding with people encouraging them to take part
39:27
Speaker 3: in these sorts of activities, and they were getting huge
39:31
Speaker 3: donations to engage in activities like that.
39:35
Speaker 2: Is there going to be.
39:36
Speaker 3: Some reckoning for them, some consequences. I mean, even this
39:40
Speaker 3: report itself is fraudulent on so many fronts.
39:44
Speaker 16: It's really sad reader, because the SBLC has a great
39:47
Speaker 16: deal of money they haven't stashed in offshore bank accounts.
39:52
Speaker 16: They've also been sued a number of times. They've paid
39:54
Speaker 16: some substantial settlements and judgments. I think the question is
39:58
Speaker 16: whether Corporate America LOCA will finally stop funding the SPLC's
40:04
Speaker 16: left wing propaganda. If so, I think that organization is finished,
40:10
Speaker 16: and I hope that is what is going to happen.
40:14
Speaker 3: It's incredible that, given what we know now, that any
40:18
Speaker 3: responsible corporate entity, any individual would be donating money to
40:23
Speaker 3: the SBOC. There are so many good causes, so many
40:26
Speaker 3: groups doing good work. Why you would give money to
40:29
Speaker 3: a pack of race baters who are trying to incite
40:33
Speaker 3: Sometimes it seems like a race war is beyond me.
40:37
Speaker 3: John Heinderraiker, It's always a pleasure. Thank you so much
40:40
Speaker 3: for your time tonight still to come, or your entertainment
40:44
Speaker 3: and royal news, including Rosie o'donald's latest unedifying meltdown.
40:50
Speaker 2: Did he Dunlevy is next? Welcome back? Now I've got
41:01
Speaker 2: some bad news.
41:02
Speaker 3: Rosio o'donald appears to have abandoned plans to return to
41:06
Speaker 3: the View for its thirtieth anniversary. They just couldn't fit
41:09
Speaker 3: any more hate and hysteria on that panel. But that
41:12
Speaker 3: hasn't stopped Rosie from spewing her loopy ideas to anyone
41:16
Speaker 3: who will listen. Here, she tells Kara Swisher that she
41:21
Speaker 3: will return to the US once Trump is no longer
41:23
Speaker 3: president because she misses her kids.
41:26
Speaker 17: When he's done, because I miss my other children greatly,
41:30
Speaker 17: and I miss you know, New York and my life here.
41:34
Speaker 17: And I think it's very important as I get older
41:37
Speaker 17: for Clay to be around her siblings, so that you know,
41:40
Speaker 17: when I go, they'll have a strong connection, stronger than
41:44
Speaker 17: it is now.
41:45
Speaker 5: Yeah.
41:46
Speaker 3: Really, we make jokes here, but what sort of mother
41:50
Speaker 3: would separate a young child from their older siblings just
41:54
Speaker 3: to satisfy their irrational, seething hatred of Donald Trump?
41:59
Speaker 2: But according to Rose.
42:00
Speaker 3: And fellow lefty Lune Kara, that's just great mothering.
42:04
Speaker 2: I think definitely a better parent. I think let's means
42:06
Speaker 2: de raise all the kids, honestly.
42:08
Speaker 6: I do too.
42:09
Speaker 8: Frankly, have strong, confident men who like women, and girls
42:13
Speaker 8: who are confident and also like men and women exactly.
42:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, lesbians definitely make better parents, they said, Well, not
42:21
Speaker 3: all lesbians evidently, And of course a Rosy moment on
42:25
Speaker 3: lefties wouldn't be complete with at least one utterly insane
42:29
Speaker 3: lie about President Trump. Here is Rosy's latest effort, claiming
42:34
Speaker 3: President Trump is orchestrating assassination attempts against himself.
42:40
Speaker 2: This woman is sick.
42:41
Speaker 17: And I think right now he believes he's in a
42:44
Speaker 17: reality show staging everything from assassination attempts to.
42:50
Speaker 2: Everything that he has done.
42:51
Speaker 17: It's demented. I mean, it's really really sick, toxic and dangerous,
42:57
Speaker 17: and we're on the precipice of disaster.
43:00
Speaker 3: Demented, sick, toxic and dangerous. More projection there from Rosie,
43:07
Speaker 3: Let's bring in broadcaster and news to any four contributor
43:10
Speaker 3: d D dunlee vy, did this woman needs help? I
43:14
Speaker 3: don't know if it's the sort of help we can provide.
43:16
Speaker 3: I think it's professional help.
43:18
Speaker 18: Well, you can add egotistical to the list of qualities
43:21
Speaker 18: that you just shared for Rosie. Look, I'm embarrassed for
43:26
Speaker 18: her because she indicated that she was ready to go
43:29
Speaker 18: on The View's thirtieth anniversary show, and then nobody actually
43:33
Speaker 18: asked her, and they've been very quick to say, look,
43:35
Speaker 18: we haven't actually asked you yet.
43:37
Speaker 3: Imagined being too crazy to be on the View panel.
43:42
Speaker 3: When you were part of the show, you were part
43:44
Speaker 3: of its rise to prominence, but you're now so crazy
43:48
Speaker 3: and absurd that even those ladies can't have you at
43:51
Speaker 3: the day.
43:52
Speaker 18: She soiled the nest a couple of times. So the
43:53
Speaker 18: first stint that she was on, she had a clash
43:55
Speaker 18: with Elizabeth hasselback when.
43:57
Speaker 3: Of Elizabeth was a token conservative, so that wasn't a
44:00
Speaker 3: surprise exactly. But the second time, I think she and
44:03
Speaker 3: Whoopee just clash egos and Rosie spoke on a podcast
44:08
Speaker 3: this week and she said that she thought that when
44:11
Speaker 3: she went on with Whoopee that they'd be like passing
44:14
Speaker 3: the ball back and forth to each other, like Scottie
44:16
Speaker 3: Pippin and Michael Jordan. Oh yes, and shooting goals and
44:20
Speaker 3: winning for the team with the big victory. So I
44:22
Speaker 3: think she thinks that she and Whoopy are these clever.
44:25
Speaker 3: The problem is I think they both think their Michael
44:27
Speaker 3: Jordan and there's only room for one Michael Jordan.
44:30
Speaker 2: In fact, neither of them are Michael.
44:31
Speaker 18: What kind of ego do you have to compare yourself
44:34
Speaker 18: to the possibly one of the greatest sportsmen do ever live.
44:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, Rosie O'Donnell, the woman is delusional. Now you mentioned Whoopee,
44:42
Speaker 3: she's been bragging about her paycheck from the view.
44:46
Speaker 2: Have a listen. What do you love about it? Because
44:48
Speaker 2: I mean, first while the show was called I Love
44:52
Speaker 2: the Check, how can only imagine what that check is?
44:56
Speaker 11: No, no, no, trust me.
45:01
Speaker 3: USABC continues to back this show despite the fact that
45:05
Speaker 3: they have to regularly apologize issue corrections for all the
45:08
Speaker 3: crazy things they say. But I've got to respect the
45:10
Speaker 3: honesty there. She does it for the check and it's
45:13
Speaker 3: a very very healthy check.
45:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, good point.
45:16
Speaker 16: I agree.
45:16
Speaker 18: It's one of the rare times that some honesty has
45:18
Speaker 18: come out with you. Look, I don't know what she
45:21
Speaker 18: was aiming for there, whether she was joking or not.
45:23
Speaker 18: I think she was intending to, but it came across
45:25
Speaker 18: as arrogant and smug. Oh yeah, there's no disguising the
45:28
Speaker 18: fact that she's a multimillionaire and that she's one of
45:32
Speaker 18: the Hollywood elite. And yet she's talking to American people
45:35
Speaker 18: every day who she cannot relate to.
45:37
Speaker 3: Now and suddenly she cares about gas prices. When gas
45:39
Speaker 3: prices were eight nine dollars. You didn't care about it
45:42
Speaker 3: then because Joe Biden was in charge, But now suddenly
45:44
Speaker 3: she cares about gas prices. Megan Markle, she's your favorite.
45:48
Speaker 3: We have to talk about her forty fifth birthday. It
45:51
Speaker 3: went publicly unacknowledged by the Royal family on Tuesday d D.
45:57
Speaker 2: This has been talked about. Is it because she's.
45:59
Speaker 3: No longer working Royal and she's still the mother of
46:03
Speaker 3: a prince and princess? Should they are don't know, tweeted
46:06
Speaker 3: out something or put something on Instagram?
46:09
Speaker 18: No, no, look, it's not a snub. It's just protocol
46:12
Speaker 18: and it's not right that they should be posting birthday
46:16
Speaker 18: messages for people who aren't up working Royal. That's not
46:18
Speaker 18: what the Royal Instagram is for. King Charles, though I
46:23
Speaker 18: think he's a bit of a softy. I wouldn't be
46:24
Speaker 18: surprised if he sends a card.
46:26
Speaker 3: And that card will end up on a Netflix documentary
46:30
Speaker 3: at some.
46:30
Speaker 18: Point, possibly possibly When I say he sends it, probably
46:33
Speaker 18: he'll get one of his staff to send it.
46:34
Speaker 2: But I wouldn't.
46:35
Speaker 18: I wouldn't criticize him for that, because that's taking the
46:38
Speaker 18: higher moral ground.
46:40
Speaker 2: Kate and William not so much. I don't.
46:42
Speaker 18: I'd be very surprised if they're in any sort of
46:44
Speaker 18: communication at all with MEGANE.
46:46
Speaker 3: Well, no, I mean, after what Harry wrote in his
46:49
Speaker 3: book and what we know about some of Meghan's antics,
46:52
Speaker 3: particularly against Princess Kate, I think some of those bridges
46:57
Speaker 3: may be burned permanently. So yeah, we'll see. Now it
47:00
Speaker 3: was another birthday. Princess Beatrice had her thirty eighth birthday celebrations,
47:05
Speaker 3: but they're going to be subdued compared to previous years
47:09
Speaker 3: because the York family is facing all sorts of issues.
47:12
Speaker 3: She is said to be planning a quite gathering and
47:15
Speaker 3: has maintained a notably low public profile in recent months.
47:20
Speaker 3: Did yes, I think that's pretty clever. I mean, what
47:22
Speaker 3: are you going to do? Both your mother and father
47:25
Speaker 3: have disgraced themselves. It's not her fault in any way,
47:28
Speaker 3: but people will look at her and associate her with
47:33
Speaker 3: Fergie and Prince All the former Prince Andrew.
47:35
Speaker 5: Yeah.
47:36
Speaker 18: Look, this is her thirty eighth birth that's not a
47:38
Speaker 18: recognized milestone.
47:40
Speaker 2: So I don't think it's any big Suitrice.
47:42
Speaker 3: Celebrate thirty eight. No, it's the last of your thirties.
47:46
Speaker 3: It's all coming to an end.
47:47
Speaker 18: That is so like you to find it used to
47:50
Speaker 18: have a party. Look, it's not thirty eight is not
47:52
Speaker 18: a celebratory age. I don't think anyway. And I also
47:55
Speaker 18: take with a grain of salt this information that's come
47:57
Speaker 18: from an anonymous palace source. But there's no disguising the
48:01
Speaker 18: fact that she's had some outrageous birthdays in the past.
48:04
Speaker 18: Her eighteenth cost we're told around about half a million pounds.
48:07
Speaker 18: That were five hudred Our guests there, including In hindsight,
48:11
Speaker 18: this would be something you wouldn't do have Jeffrey Epstein
48:13
Speaker 18: and College Maxwell there, But that would have been organized
48:16
Speaker 18: by Sarah, who loves a display of wealth and opulence
48:19
Speaker 18: and all that.
48:21
Speaker 3: She Well, I don't know what these napper babies have
48:23
Speaker 3: done to be having five hundred thousand pound cost to
48:27
Speaker 3: a birthday.
48:28
Speaker 18: It would have been all about Sarah wanting to display
48:30
Speaker 18: how well she was doing. But as you just said,
48:33
Speaker 18: Beatrice is at the moment, I think a victim of
48:36
Speaker 18: the wheeler to say, the sins of her what a
48:39
Speaker 18: father's bad decision making, and she herself has not been
48:45
Speaker 18: accused of any wrongdoing. I'm still not one hundred percent
48:48
Speaker 18: convinced that she didn't know what was going on all along,
48:51
Speaker 18: but there's no evidence to condemn her, I think at
48:54
Speaker 18: this point.
48:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, Fergie's antics also highly questionable. Now quickly before you go,
48:59
Speaker 3: we spoke about Ariana Grande earlier in the week. She's
49:03
Speaker 3: clarified the reason behind her upcoming break. She says decision
49:08
Speaker 3: was made long ago and wasn't an impulsive reaction to
49:11
Speaker 3: concerns about her weight, but sources say her exit kicked
49:15
Speaker 3: off a terrible mess with her West End Theater show
49:19
Speaker 3: producers say they were given just hours notice of the decision. Didi,
49:24
Speaker 3: it's undeniable that her weight loss is well dramatic, and
49:30
Speaker 3: it's worrying.
49:31
Speaker 2: She doesn't look healthy. She may be healthy, I don't know.
49:33
Speaker 3: She may be a very naturally thin person. But she
49:35
Speaker 3: didn't look like this a few years ago.
49:37
Speaker 18: No, exactly, and neither of us is qualified to comment
49:41
Speaker 18: on her weight, or her health or whatever might be
49:43
Speaker 18: causing that.
49:44
Speaker 9: But I did object to her.
49:45
Speaker 18: Representatives referring to the ongoing public scrutiny. Is so something
49:49
Speaker 18: the public has done which has led to Ariana Grande
49:52
Speaker 18: having to step away.
49:53
Speaker 17: Now.
49:54
Speaker 18: If she needs to take a rest and take a break,
49:56
Speaker 18: good on her, and I hope she gets the help
49:58
Speaker 18: she needs. But as you point out, we are not blind.
50:02
Speaker 18: We can see that it has dramatically changed. She has
50:04
Speaker 18: an enormous following, and if we're glorifying that sort of skinniness,
50:09
Speaker 18: that is not healthy for all the young people who
50:11
Speaker 18: idolize her.
50:12
Speaker 2: Well said Diddie dune Leavy. Thank you so much for
50:14
Speaker 2: your time. That's it for me. Up next is late Edition.
50:19
Speaker 2: Good night,
