Speaker 1: Starting right now, It's a wheto Panay Show.
0:09
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the reader Panekey Show. Coming
0:12
Speaker 2: up tonight, climate Change Minister Chris Bowen under pressure over
0:16
Speaker 2: the performance of Labour's secretive capacity investment scheme. Daddy Wild
0:21
Speaker 2: will join me to cover the day's top headlines. The
0:24
Speaker 2: Logis were on last night celebrating mediocrity and leftist self indulgement,
0:29
Speaker 2: so Costello will be here to unpack that. Josh Hammer
0:32
Speaker 2: will have the latest from the US, including revelations that
0:36
Speaker 2: ABC News were directed by Anthony Fauci to silence and
0:40
Speaker 2: investigation into the origins of COVID and Sophie Cunningham. Star
0:45
Speaker 2: is on the rise. Kinseiskofil will have all your royal
0:49
Speaker 2: and entertainment news and Left is Losing. It features this
0:52
Speaker 2: New York politician who endorses stealing as long as you
0:57
Speaker 2: need whatever it is that you're stealing people.
0:59
Speaker 3: Who are still things like you know, soap, and that
1:03
Speaker 3: means if you're stealing those things, you need them.
1:06
Speaker 2: But first, the ABC is relaunching its US politics show
1:10
Speaker 2: and first guest will be Hassan Pika. This is a
1:14
Speaker 2: man who, when given a choice between her mass and
1:17
Speaker 2: Israel said he would vote for her mass every time.
1:22
Speaker 2: Speaking about October seven, he said, it doesn't matter if
1:25
Speaker 2: rapes happened on October seven, It doesn't change the dynamic
1:29
Speaker 2: for me. And of course he says that American soldiers
1:33
Speaker 2: deserve to be maimed and that America deserved nine to eleven.
1:38
Speaker 4: Mujia hedeen, A brave soldier does iehole with their Isn't
1:42
Speaker 4: that how he lost his sings?
1:44
Speaker 1: I because he got U speaking ie whole. America deserved
1:47
Speaker 1: nine to eleven, Dude.
1:49
Speaker 5: I'm saying it.
1:50
Speaker 2: And the man the ABC platforming also said this not
1:54
Speaker 2: too long ago.
1:55
Speaker 4: Chill them kill those mother murder those mothers in the street,
1:58
Speaker 4: Let the streets, let the streets sook in their red
2:02
Speaker 4: capitalist bloods charming.
2:05
Speaker 2: Joining me now is Deputy Executive director of the Institute
2:08
Speaker 2: of Public Affairs, Dan your wild dad, just a reminder
2:12
Speaker 2: that the ABC gets more than one point two billion
2:16
Speaker 2: of our money every single year.
2:20
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's exactly right.
2:21
Speaker 6: And of course this comes on the back of the
2:23
Speaker 6: Ginna Reinhart skit, which they were forced to apologize for
2:28
Speaker 6: and backtrack on, although in a very merely mouthed sort
2:31
Speaker 6: of way. And I think it just shows that they
2:33
Speaker 6: are a law unto themselves, aren't they. You know, they
2:36
Speaker 6: have a charter of responsibility. They're supposed to be impartial
2:39
Speaker 6: because as you said, they are receiving taxpayer funds. But
2:43
Speaker 6: where is the government on this? You know, where is
2:45
Speaker 6: the Prime Minister? Where is the Communications Minister on this?
2:48
Speaker 6: Because at some point the buck stops with them. Ultimately,
2:52
Speaker 6: the ABC is subject to those charters that I mentioned.
2:55
Speaker 6: The Communications Minister can reel them in, and of course
2:58
Speaker 6: the government can threaten their fund if they're not adhering
3:01
Speaker 6: to their chartered responsibility. So, you know, I think this
3:04
Speaker 6: must be a line in the sand. And the question
3:06
Speaker 6: for Anthony Albaneze is does he agree with the statements
3:09
Speaker 6: of this individual or not? Does his government agree that
3:13
Speaker 6: they choose Hamas over Israel? Is that what they think?
3:16
Speaker 6: If not, then they need to do something about it.
3:18
Speaker 2: Dan, The sad reality is they're given the ABC's reporting
3:22
Speaker 2: on the Trump administration and US politics in general, a
3:26
Speaker 2: lot of their audience may be on board with what
3:28
Speaker 2: this character has to say.
3:31
Speaker 6: Well, I suspect there's some of that, and I think
3:32
Speaker 6: there's two other things. One is they know it will
3:34
Speaker 6: create controversy. I mean, I don't think anyone watches this
3:37
Speaker 6: program or probably no one's heard of it. So if
3:39
Speaker 6: they do this, then people have heard of it, they
3:41
Speaker 6: get a few more ratings out of it. And I
3:43
Speaker 6: think the other thing is, look, they're really just rubbing
3:46
Speaker 6: the noses of Australians in it now, because what they're
3:49
Speaker 6: showing is that they can do whatever they want. You know,
3:51
Speaker 6: they can have whoever they want on they can say
3:53
Speaker 6: whatever they want to say, and there's nothing you can
3:56
Speaker 6: do about it. You know, they'll yeah, okay, they'll put
3:58
Speaker 6: out an apology a month later on you know, it
4:00
Speaker 6: didn't meet our editorial standards and so forth. But you
4:03
Speaker 6: know this this is to show Australians that they can
4:05
Speaker 6: do whatever they want, that the government to do nothing
4:07
Speaker 6: about it, and you've got to pay for it.
4:09
Speaker 5: And too bad.
4:11
Speaker 2: Now students skip school and took the streets on Friday
4:15
Speaker 2: to protest One Nation and Pauline Hansome. Let's have a
4:19
Speaker 2: quick look at some of the young uns.
4:21
Speaker 5: You do.
4:22
Speaker 2: If Pauline has me today, I should She shouldn't be here.
4:34
Speaker 7: She's a racist, sexist figot and she doesn't help any
4:36
Speaker 7: of us in any way.
4:38
Speaker 2: She's not for the people, She's for.
4:39
Speaker 7: The billionaires, the pedophiles and all the old men in politics.
4:44
Speaker 2: To send up for what's right and show what kids
4:47
Speaker 2: want and what is that? What do kids want?
4:50
Speaker 8: Ah?
4:51
Speaker 7: Freedom and more diversity, protesting for what's right, and like
4:57
Speaker 7: what's wrong with what she's doing, just how she acts
5:00
Speaker 7: and stuff like as mysign says, she has racist, sexist
5:03
Speaker 7: and a Nazi and just no one really wants as
5:06
Speaker 7: a president or not president like Minister Dan.
5:09
Speaker 2: You can blame the schools, you can blame the culture,
5:13
Speaker 2: but you also have to look at the parents in
5:16
Speaker 2: many of these cases. And among the most disturbing things
5:19
Speaker 2: I saw online, not necessarily what we played there, was
5:23
Speaker 2: the number of young people calling for political violence. The
5:28
Speaker 2: videos are out there, there's sadly a lot of them,
5:32
Speaker 2: but young Australian kids, mainly females, advocating for murder or
5:39
Speaker 2: physical harm to be incited against Pauline Hanson.
5:47
Speaker 6: Well, I think those that are doing it, they need
5:48
Speaker 6: to have a knock on the door from the cops
5:50
Speaker 6: and their parents need to have a talking to because
5:52
Speaker 6: you're not allowed to do that in this country. I
5:54
Speaker 6: don't know if they know that, but having violence against
5:57
Speaker 6: other people or something we don't have in this country,
5:58
Speaker 6: unlike a lot of other countries around the world. But
6:00
Speaker 6: I assume they're not told that at whatever school they're
6:03
Speaker 6: going to.
6:04
Speaker 5: But I love it.
6:04
Speaker 6: You know, it just shows the ignorance she's going to
6:07
Speaker 6: be president minister. Look, I don't know, it's all a
6:11
Speaker 6: bit too hard for them, So look, I you know,
6:15
Speaker 6: I mean, they need to be responsible for what they say.
6:17
Speaker 6: But I also feel sorry for them because really there's
6:20
Speaker 6: just some kind of corrupt software program operating in their
6:22
Speaker 6: brain that they've been told by people, whether it's at
6:25
Speaker 6: schools or elsewhere on social media, they've picked up this
6:27
Speaker 6: nonsense and they're just a mouthpiece for an unwitting ideology
6:31
Speaker 6: that they don't really understand or comprehend. So that doesn't
6:34
Speaker 6: mean that they shouldn't be held to account for what
6:35
Speaker 6: they're saying. But I guess overall, I don't know how
6:39
Speaker 6: old they are, fifteen or sixteen. I just feel sorry
6:41
Speaker 6: for the fact that our country has let them down
6:43
Speaker 6: so badly by having a school system that puts this
6:46
Speaker 6: into their brain and then says it's okay to go
6:47
Speaker 6: out there and protest while you know, a's many other
6:51
Speaker 6: productive things they could be doing, so yeah, I feel
6:53
Speaker 6: sorry for them.
6:56
Speaker 9: Now.
6:56
Speaker 2: Figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics reveal ace
7:00
Speaker 2: lump in new loan commitments across owner, occupier, investor, and
7:04
Speaker 2: first home buyer categories.
7:06
Speaker 6: DAN.
7:07
Speaker 2: That's the incredible bit of news there. In a speech
7:10
Speaker 2: at a Nationals conference in canber on Saturday, Leader Matt
7:13
Speaker 2: Canavan accused labor of destroying the property market and vowed
7:17
Speaker 2: to scrap labors at tax changes.
7:21
Speaker 1: DAN.
7:21
Speaker 2: This really is further evidence that the budget measures, the
7:24
Speaker 2: tax hikes are having a devastating impact for property owners
7:29
Speaker 2: on the property market. To have a reduction in home
7:33
Speaker 2: loans for first home buyers, though, is astounding because we
7:36
Speaker 2: were told the entire reason they're doing this is to
7:40
Speaker 2: assist first home buyers. But loans are down for that category.
7:47
Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree with you. I think that's the most
7:49
Speaker 6: concerning thing. I don't quite understand why they'd be down
7:52
Speaker 6: for that category. I mean, if prices are coming down
7:54
Speaker 6: as they are in every capital city now, I would
7:57
Speaker 6: assume that loans will be going up rather than coming down.
8:00
Speaker 5: So there's something else going on. Obviously. I think when
8:02
Speaker 5: we go back to the government's budget.
8:04
Speaker 6: What was always clear is they never really knew what
8:07
Speaker 6: it was they were trying to achieve, or they never
8:09
Speaker 6: were willing to communicate it. I mean, you'll remember the
8:12
Speaker 6: budget itself outlined a pretty modest increase in the number
8:16
Speaker 6: of home buyers as a result of their policy changes,
8:18
Speaker 6: and a pretty modest change to house prices. I mean
8:20
Speaker 6: they did sort of say house prices would moderate in
8:23
Speaker 6: their growth, but not that house prices would actually start
8:26
Speaker 6: coming down in absolute terms. So I think if you
8:28
Speaker 6: go back and look at those budget papers, I don't
8:30
Speaker 6: know whether they deliberately, you know, put in information that
8:35
Speaker 6: was false, or they just didn't get it. I mean,
8:37
Speaker 6: did they just not understand that if you do this
8:39
Speaker 6: kind of stuff that prices will come down. But you know,
8:43
Speaker 6: the evidence is in and we know what's happened. So
8:45
Speaker 6: I think compare what they said in the budget to
8:47
Speaker 6: what's happened, and it's pretty interesting reading.
8:50
Speaker 2: Absolutely, But it was entirely predictable.
8:53
Speaker 9: Dan.
8:53
Speaker 2: This shouldn't be a shock. It's almost not even an
8:56
Speaker 2: unintended consequence, because any one with a functioning brain, anyone
9:01
Speaker 2: with any appreciation of economics or even history, would tell
9:05
Speaker 2: you this is what was going to happen. We discussed
9:09
Speaker 2: at length on this station, but we saw it when
9:13
Speaker 2: they did this previously and they had to reverse course
9:16
Speaker 2: because it had such a dramatic impact on rents. We've
9:19
Speaker 2: seen New Zealand do it more recently and again they've
9:22
Speaker 2: done a one eighty, so I don't know why they
9:24
Speaker 2: thought this time around it would be any different. Now,
9:27
Speaker 2: let's talk about climate change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen.
9:31
Speaker 2: He's under pressure over the performance of Labour's secretive capacity
9:35
Speaker 2: Investment scheme. The government's refusing to divulge CIS pricing data
9:41
Speaker 2: or assumed returns for taxpayers. Opposition Energy spokesman Dan Tin
9:47
Speaker 2: said the lack of transparency around this scheme is a
9:50
Speaker 2: national disgrace. Dan, it seems pretty obvious this scheme is
9:56
Speaker 2: being used to prop up renewables. It's been used to
9:59
Speaker 2: pop up up, prop up renewable projects across the country.
10:05
Speaker 6: Yeah, a lot of those are foreign owned as well.
10:07
Speaker 6: I mean, I'd love to see the funding of this
10:09
Speaker 6: going straight to foreign owned companies. I mean, we did
10:11
Speaker 6: some research on this a while ago, finding that the
10:14
Speaker 6: vast majority of the major wind companies are foreign owned,
10:18
Speaker 6: so i'd imagine that if they're eligible for this scheme
10:21
Speaker 6: that they're getting some of that taxpayer money as well.
10:25
Speaker 6: The whole thing is a raw it really. I mean,
10:27
Speaker 6: it's always just been one big boondoggle to use other
10:30
Speaker 6: people's money to subsidize an industry that would never be
10:33
Speaker 6: able to survive on its own. Meanwhile, it's giving us
10:36
Speaker 6: high prices a less reliable energy system as well. And
10:40
Speaker 6: you know what's interesting to me is when you look
10:42
Speaker 6: at Chris Bowen's latest address to the National Press Club
10:46
Speaker 6: a couple of weeks ago, he didn't even mention the
10:48
Speaker 6: words net zero wants any speech. So he's sort of
10:52
Speaker 6: running away from the idea of net zero because we
10:54
Speaker 6: know that net zero is dead, and he's still pushing
10:57
Speaker 6: out these schemes because they know, you know, it's unpopular.
11:00
Speaker 5: That's why you said it's secretive.
11:01
Speaker 6: You know, they don't want to tell people because they're
11:03
Speaker 6: losing money hand of a fist, giving it away to
11:06
Speaker 6: foreign companies in exchange for an inferior, more costly energy system.
11:10
Speaker 6: I mean, this has got to be one of the
11:11
Speaker 6: dumbest things I've ever seen.
11:15
Speaker 2: And he'll tell you how popular these schemes are because well,
11:19
Speaker 2: people are taking up batteries and solar panels. It doesn't
11:23
Speaker 2: mention the fact that they're heavily subsidized by the taxpayer
11:26
Speaker 2: and all that market interference that's going on. Now before
11:30
Speaker 2: you go. Anthony Alberizi has entered a political danger zone
11:33
Speaker 2: with his popularity hitting rock bottom, but last week he
11:37
Speaker 2: did pass Paul Keating to become Labour's fourth longest running
11:41
Speaker 2: prime minister. Jeff Chambers, writing in The Australian Newspaper, said
11:45
Speaker 2: that Labors Labor MPs remain upbeat about the prime minister
11:51
Speaker 2: because the thinking is that as long as the conservative
11:54
Speaker 2: side of politics is a mess, Alberanesi and the ALP
11:57
Speaker 2: can win the next election. He added, Labor and ps
12:01
Speaker 2: are hoping voters will give them credit for tackling housing
12:05
Speaker 2: affordability in a way no other government had the courage
12:08
Speaker 2: to address. Well, Dad, I don't know if that's just
12:11
Speaker 2: wishful thinking, because they seem to be causing havoc in
12:16
Speaker 2: the housing market. I don't know if that's solving the
12:18
Speaker 2: housing crisis or not.
12:22
Speaker 6: Well, I think what's probably going to happen is they're
12:25
Speaker 6: going to get pretty arrogant over the next year. Yeah,
12:28
Speaker 6: I mean, yes, it's true that if we go to
12:31
Speaker 6: the next election and the Liberal parties on a seventeen
12:34
Speaker 6: primary vote and one nation's on twenty something, then Labor's
12:36
Speaker 6: going to win.
12:37
Speaker 5: Buy a whole bunch. I mean, that's obvious.
12:38
Speaker 6: But there's a lot of water to go under the
12:40
Speaker 6: bridge between now and then, and I think what you're
12:42
Speaker 6: going to see is very arrogant government, a lot of
12:45
Speaker 6: very relaxed ministers and backbenches that aren't taking their domestic
12:49
Speaker 6: constituencies all that seriously because I think they're going to
12:51
Speaker 6: win no matter what. So you know, I think what
12:54
Speaker 6: you might start to see is, are the conditions brewing
12:57
Speaker 6: for a bit of an upset are the next election
12:58
Speaker 6: if this continues to go. I mean, certainly Australians don't
13:02
Speaker 6: like being taken for granted, and if they start to
13:04
Speaker 6: get a whiff that they're being taken for granted by
13:07
Speaker 6: the Prime Minister who's sort of taking it easy because
13:10
Speaker 6: he thinks he can just fall over the line, then
13:12
Speaker 6: there will be repercussions for that. But obviously a necessary
13:16
Speaker 6: condition for that to take places for the center right
13:19
Speaker 6: of politics to whether it's through preferencing, whether it's through
13:23
Speaker 6: more of a formal coalition arrangement to actually become the
13:25
Speaker 6: new anti labor block to oust the government.
13:28
Speaker 5: In the absence of that, it will be.
13:29
Speaker 2: Difficult, absolutely if the center right parties get their act
13:35
Speaker 2: together it actually have some sort of a formal arrangement,
13:38
Speaker 2: whether it's some loose coalition or preference steal, something that's
13:42
Speaker 2: targeted towards defeating labor rather than destroying each other. Dan Wild,
13:47
Speaker 2: thank you so much for your time. Now. The logos
13:53
Speaker 2: were on last night, which meant we were treated to
13:55
Speaker 2: another night of mediocrity and self indulgement from the left,
14:00
Speaker 2: start with Robert Irwin mocking Carl Stefanovic.
14:03
Speaker 10: Unfortunately, Karl Stefanovic didn't RSVP tonight, which means we didn't
14:09
Speaker 10: have to hire quite as many bartenders, but we've kept
14:14
Speaker 10: him a spare seat just in case. It's over there
14:16
Speaker 10: to the right, the far right.
14:22
Speaker 2: Carl Stephanovik is about as far right as I am. Blonde.
14:26
Speaker 2: But never mind bad Here is Rob Urban having a
14:29
Speaker 2: little dig at Dave Hughes because Dave's dared to stray
14:33
Speaker 2: from the leftist reservation.
14:35
Speaker 10: Apparently I hear that Channel ten is also developing a
14:38
Speaker 10: reboot of Hughesy.
14:40
Speaker 5: We have a.
14:41
Speaker 10: Problem, and I think it's called No, seriously, Hughesy, we
14:47
Speaker 10: have a problem.
14:49
Speaker 2: And here is supposed comic and corporate spooker Shane Jacobson
14:54
Speaker 2: deciding his inability to open an envelope was a fine
14:57
Speaker 2: time to kick Pauline Hanson.
15:00
Speaker 4: Oh God, if paul and Hanson's mouth was this hard
15:02
Speaker 4: to open, wouldn't well be a bit a place.
15:04
Speaker 5: All right?
15:06
Speaker 2: Fathetic and about as funny as an ingrowing Toeenail joining
15:10
Speaker 2: me now is senior reporter at the Herald Sun. So
15:14
Speaker 2: Costella also a man with considerable TV experience. So be
15:19
Speaker 2: honest with me. Did you even know the logis were right?
15:21
Speaker 2: I found out last night whilst they were in progress,
15:25
Speaker 2: because I was out for dinner and I was wondering
15:27
Speaker 2: why this particular person wasn't there and they had to
15:29
Speaker 2: be at the logis against their wishes, A reader, what.
15:32
Speaker 11: Are you talking about? I was counting down the days.
15:35
Speaker 11: I'm already getting ready for next year's event. This is
15:37
Speaker 11: a big deal. No, I wasn't aware they were on
15:41
Speaker 11: until I flicked on my social media. But if I
15:45
Speaker 11: had tuned in. I reckon, I would have doubled their
15:47
Speaker 11: television audience.
15:48
Speaker 12: So yeah.
15:49
Speaker 11: In fact, we had our herald Son Monthly Office Awards
15:52
Speaker 11: last week for the month of July, and I reckon
15:54
Speaker 11: there was probably more engagement with that audience for those
15:56
Speaker 11: awards than TV viewers for the logis.
15:58
Speaker 2: That should be televised. Should they be put out of
16:01
Speaker 2: their misery? Really, it's got sad. We always poke fun
16:05
Speaker 2: at the logis, but they had a little bit of value.
16:07
Speaker 2: At least they were funny. There would be always moments
16:11
Speaker 2: from the logis that you talk about the next day.
16:14
Speaker 2: These days, they're just they're just lame and sad and pathetic.
16:19
Speaker 2: It almost I feel bad mocking it because it's so bad,
16:23
Speaker 2: you know. I mean, it's punching down. I'm punching down.
16:26
Speaker 2: Step Let's just kill it.
16:28
Speaker 11: I know what you're saying. I took this assignment very seriously,
16:32
Speaker 11: so I watched the first segment on behalf of your program.
16:35
Speaker 2: Took one for the team, but I did.
16:37
Speaker 11: Robert Irwin was the host, which was a good choice
16:39
Speaker 11: because I think they need someone with experience dealing with
16:42
Speaker 11: absolute reptiles in that particular room. So I'm glad they
16:45
Speaker 11: had Bob Erwin. I thought done. Casey Donovan sang nicely
16:49
Speaker 11: at the beginning. She always gets.
16:50
Speaker 2: People up about that you are looking for positive.
16:52
Speaker 11: I'm trying to be positive. I mean, yeah, I think
16:57
Speaker 11: you know. It's a room full of people that don't
16:59
Speaker 11: like each other. And thing he's best summed up by
17:01
Speaker 11: I Once I heard a story that when James Packers
17:04
Speaker 11: sold out of the nine network, he said, I'm leaving
17:07
Speaker 11: Free to Wear television to focus on casinos so I
17:10
Speaker 11: can deal with a higher caliber of person. And I reckon,
17:14
Speaker 11: that's something about the logos that is.
17:16
Speaker 2: A great line. I want to like it because I
17:20
Speaker 2: love entertainment. Every night here I've got an entertainment segment
17:24
Speaker 2: because we love keeping up with what's happening in that world.
17:28
Speaker 2: But this, no one's interested. And this is probably the
17:32
Speaker 2: most anyone's going to talk about the logos today. So
17:35
Speaker 2: let's move on to more important things. I've been eager
17:38
Speaker 2: to talk to you about this story. Well, you've done
17:40
Speaker 2: a series of exclusive stories for The Herald Sun about
17:43
Speaker 2: accused fraudster Cy Newan, who is a nicknamed the Wolf
17:48
Speaker 2: of Whiteman Street. Now, after a three year investigation, by
17:52
Speaker 2: Victoria Police. They have charged him with three hundred and
17:57
Speaker 2: nine counts of obtaining financial advantage by deception. This man
18:02
Speaker 2: lived an astonishing lifestyle. Set tell my audience about his life,
18:07
Speaker 2: his lifestyle and the very powerful influential, powerful influential that's
18:13
Speaker 2: the same thing, powerful and famous people that he rubbed
18:17
Speaker 2: shoulders with through those years.
18:18
Speaker 5: Yeah, well it might.
18:19
Speaker 11: Sound pretty good to a few of the viewers. The
18:21
Speaker 11: lifestyle was celebrities, it was glitzy events. It was so
18:27
Speaker 11: we understand VIP sex parties and a villa at Crown Casino,
18:31
Speaker 11: And there's nothing wrong with that per se. There's just
18:34
Speaker 11: the little issue of the ten million dollar fraud that
18:38
Speaker 11: Victoria Police now allege against mister new And they say
18:41
Speaker 11: that over a number of years he ripped off a
18:44
Speaker 11: charity that actually employed him, a disability charity called GENU
18:48
Speaker 11: down in Geelong, who say they've been through their books
18:51
Speaker 11: and they found millions of dollars worth of equipment that
18:54
Speaker 11: was paid for by Genu. They say it was authorized
18:57
Speaker 11: by Yang Newen and they have no record the equipment
19:00
Speaker 11: ever arriving. So how did that happen? Where did that
19:03
Speaker 11: money go? But you mentioned the connections and I have
19:06
Speaker 11: not seen a story like this in terms of the
19:08
Speaker 11: fault lines that it runs everywhere in Melbourne. You're talking
19:12
Speaker 11: about footballers Brownlow medalists, particularly the Geelong footy club.
19:17
Speaker 2: He was a massive Geelong fan, wasn't he massive Cats
19:20
Speaker 2: from Yeah?
19:20
Speaker 11: Absolutely. You see him at Gary Ablett Junior's Bucks party,
19:25
Speaker 11: he organized the Bucks Party. He shows up at the
19:27
Speaker 11: twenty twenty two Grand Final or premiership celebrations for Geelong.
19:30
Speaker 1: So he is everywhere.
19:32
Speaker 11: And he also shared some of his money with the
19:34
Speaker 11: Cats as a financial sponsor. Just where did all that
19:37
Speaker 11: money come from?
19:38
Speaker 2: Is the AFL looking into this at all in case
19:41
Speaker 2: there was there any financial cap salary cap breaches, whether
19:45
Speaker 2: there was any wrongdoing in the way they did the finances.
19:49
Speaker 2: Do we know if the AFL is having their ironically
19:53
Speaker 2: named Integrity Unit having a look at this. Yeah.
19:56
Speaker 11: Well, not to be confused with the Integrity Unit podcast,
19:58
Speaker 11: which McK warner from The Herald's and I publish on
20:01
Speaker 11: a close to weekly basis, but yeah, I mean when
20:03
Speaker 11: Essenon had somebody who had done serious jail time hanging
20:06
Speaker 11: around their dressing rooms, it became an issue for the
20:09
Speaker 11: AFL's Integrity Unit. Now this guy is accused of a
20:13
Speaker 11: ten million dollar fraud. The charity says it's actually more.
20:16
Speaker 11: He knew players intimately. Phone records obtained by the Herald
20:21
Speaker 11: Sun show he made one hundred and ten phone calls
20:24
Speaker 11: to Cats players and officials during the successful twenty twenty
20:28
Speaker 11: two final series. And you know it's not easy to
20:32
Speaker 11: get a football player or official who's playing in the
20:35
Speaker 11: Grand Final on the line in Grand Final week.
20:38
Speaker 2: In Grand Final week in particular. Absolutely, But then if
20:41
Speaker 2: you've got a permanent villa at Crown Casino, I don't
20:45
Speaker 2: know how much they are a night, it's not cheap.
20:48
Speaker 2: Then that gets you some connections before you go quickly.
20:51
Speaker 2: AFL comsboss and former Labor operative Sharon mccrowan has just
20:56
Speaker 2: hired Anthony Albernese's former speech writer. James said the links
21:02
Speaker 2: between the AFL and the ALP are growing.
21:05
Speaker 11: It sometimes looks like the AFL and the Victorian ALP
21:09
Speaker 11: is just an epic love story. You know, there's just
21:11
Speaker 11: so much in common. They share a social agenda, they're
21:14
Speaker 11: always doing events together and look James Newton here, Albow's
21:17
Speaker 11: former speech writer did work at Cricket Australia, so he's
21:20
Speaker 11: got some sporting background. But yeah, I mean the optics
21:23
Speaker 11: as we head into an election year in Victoria where
21:25
Speaker 11: maybe the government will change to have You know, the
21:27
Speaker 11: AFL led by two two comms unit led by two
21:30
Speaker 11: former ALP staffers is a lot. I mean, you know,
21:33
Speaker 11: Sharon mccran's had an interesting few years. She's running comms
21:36
Speaker 11: for the AFL. Her former client list is the Victorian
21:39
Speaker 11: Labor Party, the Victorian branch of the CFMAU and Luke Sayers.
21:43
Speaker 2: Oh wow, Yes, and that Luke Sayers connection may come
21:47
Speaker 2: back to haunt the AFL and we'll be talking about that,
21:50
Speaker 2: I'm sure on this program.
21:51
Speaker 11: Says v Sayers. Set for November in the Supreme Court.
21:55
Speaker 2: You know, I want to take the week off, just
21:56
Speaker 2: like you and me, both for my own amusement professional purposes.
22:01
Speaker 2: Cept Costello always a pleasure.
22:03
Speaker 11: Great to be here.
22:04
Speaker 2: Coming up, Lefties Losing It class revelations that ABC News
22:09
Speaker 2: were directed by Anthony Fouchue to silence an investigation into
22:13
Speaker 2: the origins of COVID. Josh Hammer is next. You're watching
22:25
Speaker 2: the Reader Paney Show, and it's time for Lefties Losing It.
22:30
Speaker 2: Let's start in the bad lands of New York City,
22:32
Speaker 2: where the Commies have taken over and they have dreams
22:36
Speaker 2: of turning one of the world's great cities into the
22:38
Speaker 2: sort of hellhole where criminals roam free.
22:42
Speaker 12: Advocates believe that shoplifting or bringing bags of trash onto
22:45
Speaker 12: the trains or sleeping in the subway should not be
22:48
Speaker 12: criminally prosecuted. Neither should graffiti, vandalism, and public urination.
22:54
Speaker 3: Most of what we saw were crimes of poverty. People
22:56
Speaker 3: who are stealing things like toothbees, people who are stealing
23:00
Speaker 3: things like, you know, soap, And that means if you're
23:04
Speaker 3: stealing those things, you need them.
23:05
Speaker 2: That was a New York assembly Woman Emily Gallagher saying
23:09
Speaker 2: that if you're stealing soap, then you probably need it,
23:12
Speaker 2: so why not steal it? You know what I need myself,
23:16
Speaker 2: a mini Kelly, Emily. I might just wandering to a
23:19
Speaker 2: Erme's store in New York City and take one home.
23:22
Speaker 2: Don't send the cops. Now, to everyone's favorite communist, Alexandria
23:26
Speaker 2: Orcazio Cortez, who is suddenly very concerned about her privacy.
23:31
Speaker 2: Are you and Riley Roberts still together? I don't comment
23:34
Speaker 2: on my private life, but thank you.
23:36
Speaker 8: Your mother wants said she loves Riley and wants to
23:39
Speaker 8: see you guys get married.
23:41
Speaker 1: Is she going to get her a wish?
23:43
Speaker 5: Again?
23:44
Speaker 2: I don't comment on my private life, but thank you now.
23:46
Speaker 2: I would normally have some sympathy for that position. But
23:51
Speaker 2: wasn't it just last week they see was taking us
23:54
Speaker 2: on her egg freezing journey. You can't open the door
23:57
Speaker 2: that wide to your private life, even medical procedures, and
24:02
Speaker 2: then expect people to respect your privacy. Like most radicals
24:06
Speaker 2: of the left, AOC is full of contradictions, full of
24:08
Speaker 2: double standards and delusions like this one about conservative men
24:14
Speaker 2: because they ain't me and they can't ever be me.
24:21
Speaker 2: O KAOC. God help America if she ever cheats her
24:25
Speaker 2: way into the White House. Now, former ABC News correspondent
24:29
Speaker 2: Terry Moran is spilling the beans about his old network
24:32
Speaker 2: and how they silenced his reporting into the origins of
24:36
Speaker 2: the COVID virus, and he suspects that Anthony Fauci had
24:40
Speaker 2: a lot to do with his investigation being heavily altered
24:44
Speaker 2: before broadcast.
24:46
Speaker 13: Early in twenty twenty one. Maybe January February. I'm seeing
24:50
Speaker 13: online and elsewhere people that I thought were smart and serious.
24:56
Speaker 13: Maybe this leaked from the lab, and I was like, well,
24:59
Speaker 13: that's interesting. So I went to Nightline. I said, hey,
25:01
Speaker 13: you know, I'd like to do a Storian and they
25:03
Speaker 13: were like, great, yeah, let's do it. So we we
25:06
Speaker 13: just across the board. We talked to, you know, molecular virologists.
25:11
Speaker 13: We talked to people in the Trump administration who had
25:15
Speaker 13: been in the Trump administration who broke a little news
25:17
Speaker 13: that that lab had been funded by the Chinese military
25:21
Speaker 13: in the day that it was supposed to air. It
25:24
Speaker 13: gets reviewed and it comes back to me and it
25:27
Speaker 13: is incomprehensible, and I'm I had never been, never been angry.
25:33
Speaker 13: I'm in the I'm in the both lawyers lawyers standards.
25:38
Speaker 13: And I was told Fauci.
25:43
Speaker 2: Oh, now, it's curious that he's telling us this now,
25:47
Speaker 2: some five years later. Perhaps he should have said something
25:51
Speaker 2: at the time. At the very least, he could have
25:53
Speaker 2: called out Anthony Fauci for his interference, the sinister silencing
25:58
Speaker 2: of not just scientific but journalistic descent. But no, to
26:03
Speaker 2: this day, Terry Moran, being the good little obedient leftist
26:07
Speaker 2: that he is, he defends Fauci and says he is
26:09
Speaker 2: being demonized. Well, if he's being demonized. It's by his
26:13
Speaker 2: own words and actions. As we've covered in depth on
26:17
Speaker 2: this program, the Fauci diaries, the Fauci emails and text messages,
26:22
Speaker 2: and his disgraceful performance at a Senate hearing when he
26:26
Speaker 2: pled the fifth one hundred and eleven times. But back
26:29
Speaker 2: to Terry Moran, and here he nows why his network
26:33
Speaker 2: and the media in general have been so terrible in
26:36
Speaker 2: their attempts to report anything Trump related.
26:41
Speaker 13: Is ABC News of liberal institution? Yes, but I think
26:45
Speaker 13: I think, like a lot of manstream media, it's because
26:48
Speaker 13: of lack of viewpoint diversity. That was one of the
26:51
Speaker 13: problems in covering Truck. Nobody voted for him.
26:54
Speaker 2: Nobody voted for him. Nobody voted for the man who
26:57
Speaker 2: wanted a landslide. Of course him meant nobody voted for him.
27:01
Speaker 2: Who works in a newsroom, the writers, producers, presenters, No,
27:06
Speaker 2: that echo chamber is sealed tight.
27:09
Speaker 13: Because they set out these, hey, we should be fair
27:12
Speaker 13: to Trump. Internal emails I heard from people, engineers, maybe
27:15
Speaker 13: the occasional producer who said thank you, yeah, I had
27:19
Speaker 13: a boy.
27:20
Speaker 8: Underrated story in all television networks is that the people.
27:24
Speaker 13: Who are not on air talent and who are not
27:27
Speaker 13: producers have different politics.
27:29
Speaker 2: Yes, they have different politics that have viewpoint diversity, but
27:34
Speaker 2: not among the ABC elsia And the same sadly is
27:37
Speaker 2: true for NBC, CNN, MS NOW, etc.
27:41
Speaker 5: Etc.
27:42
Speaker 2: Joining me now is Newsweek's senior editor at large, Josh Hammer. Josh,
27:47
Speaker 2: what did you learn from that interview with Terry Moran?
27:51
Speaker 5: Read?
27:52
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, this will interview to me with something of a
27:55
Speaker 4: throwback to an error that thankfully is by gone. It
27:58
Speaker 4: was an error that was marked by biomedical tyranny. It
28:01
Speaker 4: was also marked by the forceful imposition of homogeneous group
28:06
Speaker 4: think unto the masses, and they utilize things like like
28:08
Speaker 4: like the big tech platforms is a cudgel to achieve
28:11
Speaker 4: the forceful imposition of that group thing. So, in other words,
28:15
Speaker 4: what I'm really trying to say here is that when
28:17
Speaker 4: I hear Tim Morand saying that his bosses at ABC
28:19
Speaker 4: News we're censoring the possibility. Now we know the actual
28:23
Speaker 4: fact that the virus came from from the Wuhan lab.
28:26
Speaker 4: What it seems to me is that ABC News was
28:29
Speaker 4: not trying to get penalized. They were not trying to
28:31
Speaker 4: get penalized by the powers that be in the censorship apparatus,
28:35
Speaker 4: namely in the Biden administration. Above all, we saw a
28:38
Speaker 4: lot of this over the course of the Hunter Biden
28:41
Speaker 4: Laptop against Press, really all of our big tech woes
28:44
Speaker 4: circa twenty twenty one twenty two. All of this came
28:47
Speaker 4: down to basically two things. The whole censorship apparatus boiled
28:51
Speaker 4: down to the Hunter Biden Russian disinformation hoax and COVID nineteen.
28:57
Speaker 4: COVID nineteen was something that that the bidinstration was telling
29:01
Speaker 4: Marks upward. They were telling Jack Dorsey and the ancient
29:04
Speaker 4: regime at Twitter. They were telling all the folks at
29:06
Speaker 4: Google saying, make sure that you ban people, ban people
29:10
Speaker 4: who are saying maybe you actually shouldn't get the third
29:14
Speaker 4: or fourth booster shot. You actually knew could counts that
29:17
Speaker 4: are questioning the efficacy of K ninety five mass This
29:20
Speaker 4: is a time of moral panic?
29:21
Speaker 1: Rito is it? Time of hysteria?
29:23
Speaker 4: And unfortunately, what I learned from this interview was that
29:25
Speaker 4: it wasn't just the big tag platforms, but the same
29:28
Speaker 4: mentality creeping into the very newsrooms of CBSABC, NBC, etc.
29:34
Speaker 2: It was so evident across the Western world it was
29:37
Speaker 2: quite disturbing. Disgusting, with the exception of Sweden. Sweden seemed
29:42
Speaker 2: to be the lone example other than states like Florida
29:46
Speaker 2: and Texas, where you had brave governors taking a stand,
29:50
Speaker 2: but the rest of the world, including us here in Australia.
29:53
Speaker 2: I remember writing about COVID pretty much every day, talking
29:57
Speaker 2: about it on this station, and the heat you got
30:01
Speaker 2: not just from politicians and the left, but from your colleagues,
30:07
Speaker 2: the colleagues who wanted you to be silenced for, like
30:10
Speaker 2: you said, questioning the wisdom of wearing masks at the
30:14
Speaker 2: beach outside or vaccinating children who had very little risk
30:19
Speaker 2: from COVID, and we knew that from very early on. Now,
30:23
Speaker 2: despite all this, despite the fact that his own investigation
30:26
Speaker 2: into the origins of COVID was pretty much cut up,
30:30
Speaker 2: he said he was so disgusted by it, he hasn't
30:33
Speaker 2: watched to this day. And Fauci had a hand in
30:37
Speaker 2: that as far as he knows. And yet he still
30:39
Speaker 2: defends Anthony Fauci. Josh, this is what I cannot understand,
30:43
Speaker 2: even after everything we have learned in the last month,
30:48
Speaker 2: content the fact that he should be condemned by his
30:51
Speaker 2: own words in those diaries you've got Moran still saying,
30:55
Speaker 2: oh no, no, he's been unfairly demonized.
30:58
Speaker 4: Yeah, well you mentioned sweet and because it's actually a
31:01
Speaker 4: Swedish analogy that comes to mind here, this seems to
31:04
Speaker 4: me to be a bit a case of Stockholm syndrome,
31:06
Speaker 4: if you will, frankly from from Terry Moran, listen. Turmuran
31:13
Speaker 4: is a man who I do not actually personally know.
31:14
Speaker 4: I've never met him. I've seen some of his stuff
31:17
Speaker 4: on social media over the years. He strikes me riata
31:21
Speaker 4: just my impression that he is something of a liberal
31:24
Speaker 4: of a bygone era. That is, a man who's politics
31:27
Speaker 4: or of buy and for the left. But when I
31:29
Speaker 4: say buying for the left, I mean kind of the
31:31
Speaker 4: old school Bill Clinton, Alan Dershowitz left, in other words,
31:34
Speaker 4: a version of the American left that in America has
31:37
Speaker 4: been totally left behind by this new crop of hegemonic
31:41
Speaker 4: group think of a progressive borderline these days, dsa COMMUNISTCA.
31:46
Speaker 4: So I think Tim Iran is a liberal who is
31:48
Speaker 4: nonetheless probably an intellectually honest or at least intellectually honest
31:53
Speaker 4: adjacent to liberal. But he's having a hard time, I think,
31:56
Speaker 4: trying to square that that openness intellectual honesty with his
32:00
Speaker 4: left wing politics, which while he finds himself at this
32:02
Speaker 4: point probably just rushing to Fauci's defense because he sees
32:05
Speaker 4: the Republicans are ganging up on Fauci. So we see
32:08
Speaker 4: he sees Rampaul interrogating Fauci quite correctly vigorously from the
32:13
Speaker 4: San Dias. He sees Ron de Santis calling Anthony Fauci
32:17
Speaker 4: a little elf, which we tossed into Potomac River.
32:19
Speaker 1: And I think Tim Randa is saying, you know what, Okay,
32:22
Speaker 1: I remember who I am.
32:23
Speaker 4: I'm a liberal, I'm a lefty therefore going to come
32:26
Speaker 4: out and defend this guy Fauci. That is just that's
32:28
Speaker 4: my guess as what's going on here. But as I said,
32:30
Speaker 4: it's trying to be really it's kind of a canonical
32:32
Speaker 4: case of Stockholm sympdron to be candid.
32:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think he also now did with He's
32:38
Speaker 2: looking at who's attacking Fauci and he can't bear to
32:41
Speaker 2: stand with them, so he's got to just yeah, hold
32:46
Speaker 2: his nose and stand by the man. And it's fascinating
32:49
Speaker 2: because he was really let go from ABC News for
32:53
Speaker 2: those social media posts slamming the Trump administration, and yet
32:58
Speaker 2: ABC News stars have told Fox News that he would
33:02
Speaker 2: also clash internally with the leftist colleagues he had there,
33:07
Speaker 2: so he was fighting battles on all fronts Now Josh
33:11
Speaker 2: filed this one under regrets This lady's had a few
33:15
Speaker 2: Have a look at this piece written by Kate Maulvey,
33:18
Speaker 2: saying she regrets drifting from my oldest friends at sixty four.
33:24
Speaker 2: I'm lonely, she writes, and I have a lot of
33:27
Speaker 2: sympathy for someone in that position. Except this is the
33:31
Speaker 2: same Kate Maulvey who wrote in twenty twenty one, why
33:35
Speaker 2: am disinviting my unvaccinated friends from my dinner parties? If
33:41
Speaker 2: you won't have the vaccine, you're no friend of mine,
33:44
Speaker 2: she wrote, Josh, Actions meet consequences.
33:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I probably shouldn't be laughing, but it's
33:51
Speaker 4: frankly very hard not to laugh at this right day.
33:53
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, this is this is someone who
33:56
Speaker 4: put her politics on a pedestal, who put her her
33:59
Speaker 4: moral superciliousness on a pedestal, who said, at the height
34:03
Speaker 4: of COVID that she didn't want to be in the
34:05
Speaker 4: same room, the same visciny, in the same ten mile
34:08
Speaker 4: radius any as anyone who had any skepticism and any
34:11
Speaker 4: qualms about the mask and the jabs. And and now
34:13
Speaker 4: she's just complained that she's all shiveled up, all lonely
34:16
Speaker 4: and old maid with with with with, with nary a
34:18
Speaker 4: person at her side. It's it's really quite tragic. But
34:22
Speaker 4: but but but but it's tragic comic. Look, I mean,
34:24
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna be shedding any tearists, beyonest with you
34:27
Speaker 4: for for miss Maulvy. Now this should this should be
34:31
Speaker 4: contrasted with an actual loneliness epidemic that's going on. It's
34:34
Speaker 4: it's actually quite terrible here in the United States. All
34:36
Speaker 4: all the polls in particular show that young men above
34:39
Speaker 4: all describe themselves as having shockingly few real life friends.
34:43
Speaker 4: So that is where my attention span is going to read.
34:46
Speaker 4: There's a there's a real crisis brewing when it comes
34:48
Speaker 4: to the hyper online generations, millennials, gen z. There's all
34:52
Speaker 4: sorts of massive structural problems happening in the Western world
34:55
Speaker 4: on that front. But that is very different than you know,
34:59
Speaker 4: a sixties seventy something. Overall, she is Keith Maulvey, you know,
35:02
Speaker 4: someone who decides to get all holier than now on
35:05
Speaker 4: the issue of masking and vaxxing, and now she's all
35:09
Speaker 4: the lonelier for it. So frankly, I don't really give
35:11
Speaker 4: a darn about Keith Malvey. And you know, if she
35:16
Speaker 4: say out, I guess that's her last. But you know, frankly,
35:18
Speaker 4: her foregone friends, I think it played better off without her.
35:21
Speaker 1: To be candid, we.
35:23
Speaker 2: Do have to have that discussion at some point about
35:26
Speaker 2: the younger generations and their inability to connect with each
35:32
Speaker 2: other in person. They are so hyper online, they have
35:36
Speaker 2: so much stimulation and constant contact online contact. But then
35:40
Speaker 2: there's also this contrast where they are feeling completely alone.
35:44
Speaker 2: They don't feel connected in the ways that previous generations have.
35:49
Speaker 2: It is a fascinating topic and we will discuss it soon, Josh.
35:52
Speaker 2: But I want to ask you about a piece you
35:54
Speaker 2: wrote for the New York Post on anti Israel politicians.
35:59
Speaker 2: We're seeing a lot of them at the moment, mainly
36:01
Speaker 2: from the Democrats to some on the right as well,
36:04
Speaker 2: and you're saying they're ignoring the real foreign threats to
36:08
Speaker 2: US politics. Tell me about that.
36:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure.
36:11
Speaker 4: So the rise of this of this guy Abdul Side
36:14
Speaker 4: of Michigan read I think really shines a spotlight on
36:16
Speaker 4: a broader problem, which is the infiltration of radical Islamic
36:21
Speaker 4: elements into the American body politic. So Abdul Sayah's father
36:26
Speaker 4: in law is a man who is on the board
36:30
Speaker 4: of the Michigan Chapter of Care of the Council Americans
36:32
Speaker 4: LAK Relations. CARE was found in the United States as
36:36
Speaker 4: essentially a commasm a brotherhood front group. They were actually
36:38
Speaker 4: banned by the UAE in twenty fourteen. Is a terrorist
36:41
Speaker 4: organization that they've been banned by Texas under Greg Gabbett
36:44
Speaker 4: and Florida under run of stands for being a terrorist organization.
36:47
Speaker 4: CARE nonetheless raised one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars through
36:51
Speaker 4: their individuals for abdul Sayad. The same father in law
36:54
Speaker 4: who actually donated two hundred thousand dollars to abdul Sayat
36:57
Speaker 4: for a somewhat CD super pack known as American Priorities Pack.
37:02
Speaker 4: He also was a founding member of an organization in
37:04
Speaker 4: America called ISNA, the is Long Society of North America.
37:07
Speaker 4: Both ISNA and CARE, I think it's worth pointing out
37:09
Speaker 4: we're actually unindicted co conspiras. They were named by federal
37:12
Speaker 4: judges unindicted co conspirators in the largest terror financing case
37:16
Speaker 4: in the history of the United States at the time,
37:18
Speaker 4: the two thousand and eight Holy Land Foundation bus at Texas.
37:21
Speaker 1: So I'm dropping a lot of names here.
37:22
Speaker 4: The point is there are radical elements operating American politics
37:27
Speaker 4: who have allegiances, who have financial connections to Hamas Muslim Brotherhood,
37:31
Speaker 4: the Iranian regime. And to me, this is a big
37:34
Speaker 4: problem because these are actors, these are individuals, these are
37:37
Speaker 4: organizations that these are nation states that want to subvert to.
37:40
Speaker 1: America, want to end to America.
37:41
Speaker 4: But so often our very dumb discourse, typically on the left,
37:46
Speaker 4: is obsessed with the boogeyman of a pack, which, frankly,
37:50
Speaker 4: there's a lot to say about a pac It's actually
37:51
Speaker 4: not even a particularly effective lobby in many ways.
37:54
Speaker 1: We actually learned that.
37:55
Speaker 4: Back in twenty fifteen when they failed to stop Barack
37:57
Speaker 4: Obama's nuclear deals. So this notion that is this massive
38:01
Speaker 4: grill in the room, I think is actually be lied
38:03
Speaker 4: by the facts, but even more relevant, they're not the problem.
38:06
Speaker 4: The problem is radical less on American politics. Abdual side,
38:09
Speaker 4: I think hecapsulates that point.
38:11
Speaker 2: He does, and it seems amongst the socialist communist faction
38:15
Speaker 2: of the Democrats, anything goes. They seem to have a
38:18
Speaker 2: very high tolerance for individuals, candidates with Islamist links and
38:24
Speaker 2: even Islamists belief systems. How is that going to be
38:30
Speaker 2: countered by the mainstream Democrats? How are they going to
38:34
Speaker 2: stop this faction of the party gaining a greater foothold,
38:39
Speaker 2: because that seems to be the faction that's setting the
38:42
Speaker 2: agenda in many ways of the moment.
38:45
Speaker 4: Well, they're not going to Rita. They're rolling over, They're
38:47
Speaker 4: abs are rolling over, They're taking it. I mean, the
38:49
Speaker 4: big talking point in Democrat Party right now Rita is
38:53
Speaker 4: the big Tent. I actually put a montage on my
38:54
Speaker 4: show on Friday, the Big Tent or.
38:56
Speaker 1: The Big Tent.
38:57
Speaker 4: It's Tim Kean, Nancy Pelosi, a King Ree touch Shop.
39:01
Speaker 4: It's all the same dumb talking points. We're a big tent, capitalism, socialism,
39:06
Speaker 4: let's hash it out. So the talking point has gone
39:08
Speaker 4: out and the establishment is basically just bending over and
39:11
Speaker 4: taking it.
39:12
Speaker 1: The problem for them is multifold.
39:14
Speaker 4: First and foremost is that this crap is absolutely insane
39:16
Speaker 4: and it will take the party down with it.
39:19
Speaker 1: But even on just the notion of unity.
39:22
Speaker 4: The commedies are not playing ball, Bernie Sanders, They're all
39:25
Speaker 4: calling out the astablishment. So you know, these people are
39:28
Speaker 4: not going to stop until they've conquered the entire party.
39:30
Speaker 4: So you know, the least you can try to do
39:32
Speaker 4: is try to prop a fight, but I guess they're
39:34
Speaker 4: not even gonna try to do that, So they're not
39:36
Speaker 4: trying to prop a fight. And unfortunately, the biggest loser
39:38
Speaker 4: all read I fear will be the American people, because
39:41
Speaker 4: this is not good when one of our parties goes
39:43
Speaker 4: down the path of communism and some of the worst
39:45
Speaker 4: of geology he's ever known to men.
39:48
Speaker 2: Josh Hamma, always a pleasure, Thank you, thank you coming out.
39:52
Speaker 2: Sophie Cunningham's start is on the rise. Kinsey Schofield has
39:57
Speaker 2: the details Welcome back now. She may be hated by
40:08
Speaker 2: the woke WNBA owners, coaches, and some of their miserable fans,
40:14
Speaker 2: but most Americans adul Sophie Cunningham. She is real, she
40:18
Speaker 2: is brave, she's a hell of an athlete, and she
40:21
Speaker 2: loves her country. Yep. Not only can she ball stand
40:39
Speaker 2: up for women's rights, but she can also belt out
40:42
Speaker 2: the great Toby Keats courtesy of the Red, White and
40:45
Speaker 2: Blue while standing on a bar. What a woman. Jordan
41:00
Speaker 2: That is, host of the Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered podcast Kinsey,
41:05
Speaker 2: Let's not forget this woman has gone through hell in
41:08
Speaker 2: recent weeks. She's been called everything from a transphobic bigot
41:13
Speaker 2: to white supremacist for simply saying female sport, female spaces
41:18
Speaker 2: should be protected.
41:21
Speaker 9: I know, well, first of all, happy birthday to Sophie.
41:23
Speaker 9: It's still her birthday. Where I am dirty thirty. I mean,
41:27
Speaker 9: if your argument is so fragile that you have to
41:29
Speaker 9: put you know, Sophie on the NADI word list, because
41:35
Speaker 9: I'm reading all of the reports that Sophie is now
41:38
Speaker 9: basically banned from the WNBA subreddit. I don't think that
41:43
Speaker 9: Sophie is the problem. I mean, she's discovered the fastest
41:47
Speaker 9: way to become a rebel in twenty twenty six is
41:50
Speaker 9: to state the obvious women's sports should be for women,
41:53
Speaker 9: and they keep trying to punish her, and somehow every
41:57
Speaker 9: controversy makes her more popular. At this point, her critics
42:01
Speaker 9: are basically her unpaid PR department, and maybe that should
42:04
Speaker 9: start charging her.
42:07
Speaker 2: Absolutely. I mean, this is an eighty twenty ninety ten.
42:10
Speaker 2: Perhaps issue, she's just saying what most people think, unless
42:15
Speaker 2: you're in the hard activists left, which seems to rule
42:18
Speaker 2: their WNBA now. Novak Djokovic has spoken of his bitterness
42:23
Speaker 2: at being made villain of the world by Australians who
42:27
Speaker 2: kicked him out of the country for refusing to be
42:29
Speaker 2: vaccinated during the COVID nineteen era. In a documentary to
42:34
Speaker 2: be released this week, the world's most successful male tennis
42:37
Speaker 2: player said it was all political, Kinsey, I remember that time. Well,
42:42
Speaker 2: I wrote about it at the time, and I've got
42:46
Speaker 2: to say I don't want to say I told you so,
42:48
Speaker 2: but I was one of the very few who was
42:50
Speaker 2: calling out the politicians and the media who were almost
42:54
Speaker 2: uniformly awful in their treatment of Djokovic. She was treated
42:58
Speaker 2: like a terrorists.
43:01
Speaker 9: I mean, COVID turned a lot of politicians and journalists
43:04
Speaker 9: into home monitors with unlimited power, and Jokovic became the
43:08
Speaker 9: kid who refused to ask for a mission to go
43:10
Speaker 9: to the bathroom. Whatever you thought of his vaccine decision,
43:13
Speaker 9: the hysteria surrounding Djokovic was completely inappropriate. He wasn't demanding
43:18
Speaker 9: everybody agree with him. He was demanding the rate to
43:21
Speaker 9: make a decision about his own body. Naturally, that's a
43:24
Speaker 9: sacred decision for an athlete.
43:28
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and he'd already had COVID, so that was part
43:32
Speaker 2: of the argument that was absolutely dismissed the fact that
43:35
Speaker 2: he already had antibodies because he'd had the virus previously,
43:40
Speaker 2: and as we know, the vaccine didn't stop you from
43:44
Speaker 2: getting the virus all passing it on. So the treatment
43:47
Speaker 2: of this man was absolutely disgraceful black mark in Australia's history,
43:52
Speaker 2: but I think most of the countries memory hold that,
43:55
Speaker 2: so this documentary will be interesting. Now, Justin Trudeau has
43:59
Speaker 2: posted a summer photo dump to his Instagram that it
44:04
Speaker 2: includes a photo with the Obamas selfies with a Katie
44:08
Speaker 2: Perry at a restaurant Kinsey. This is a man who
44:11
Speaker 2: did such enormous damage to Canada and now he's become
44:14
Speaker 2: some sort of an insta influencer doing photo dumps. I mean,
44:18
Speaker 2: easy twelve. If you're a man, can I just say additionally,
44:22
Speaker 2: if you're a man, just be very careful with a
44:25
Speaker 2: photo dump. These are female areas. Women of any age,
44:29
Speaker 2: go right ahead. But if you're a man, I just
44:32
Speaker 2: think you need to rethink the Instagram strategy.
44:37
Speaker 9: Olivia Rodrigo inspires my photo dump. So I totally agree
44:40
Speaker 9: with you there, Like that is so weird to me,
44:43
Speaker 9: But I do think we need to we need to
44:45
Speaker 9: be fair. Justin Trudeau has finally found a job he's
44:48
Speaker 9: qualified for and that's Instagram boyfriend. I mean, after years
44:52
Speaker 9: of running Canada, he moved on to something considerably more
44:56
Speaker 9: within his skill set taking selfies. Canada got the National
45:00
Speaker 9: but Katy Perry got the European Vacation.
45:03
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, You're right, finally a job where
45:06
Speaker 2: he can do limited amount of damage. Let's hope he
45:09
Speaker 2: stays in that role. Now reports that Prince Harry wants
45:12
Speaker 2: to visit Britain every few months following his reunion with
45:16
Speaker 2: King Charles. His meeting with his father reportedly left him
45:20
Speaker 2: very happy and really energize Kinsey. He will be returning
45:25
Speaker 2: in September for around a week for a series of
45:27
Speaker 2: engagements for the Invictor's Games. Seems like the prodigal son
45:33
Speaker 2: is back.
45:34
Speaker 10: Well.
45:35
Speaker 9: I like that we're staying on the theme of Instagram
45:37
Speaker 9: boyfriends here with Prince Harry, another guy with limited skirls.
45:41
Speaker 9: He spent years telling us Britain was basically unbearable. Now
45:45
Speaker 9: suddenly he wants to come back every few months. It's
45:48
Speaker 9: amazing how much more attractive the Royal family becomes when
45:51
Speaker 9: Hollywood stops returning your calls. I think Harry has finally
45:55
Speaker 9: realized that his Royal connection is not an inconvenience to
45:59
Speaker 9: his brand.
46:00
Speaker 1: It is his brand.
46:03
Speaker 2: It is. It'll be interesting to see if Prince William
46:07
Speaker 2: will eventually accept his olive branch, if indeed he has
46:11
Speaker 2: extended one. Now, Rosie O'Donnell has revealed that Bill Gates
46:15
Speaker 2: spent a year trying to test her for autism. Have
46:19
Speaker 2: I listened? Do you think you're a neuro divergent?
46:22
Speaker 8: You know when I was first on my show, Bill
46:25
Speaker 8: Gates was doing a large study in the nineties at
46:27
Speaker 8: the University of Seattle about autism. This is back when
46:31
Speaker 8: there wasn't all that much research going on, and they
46:34
Speaker 8: would call every few months the first year and say,
46:37
Speaker 8: we really would like to test you because of my
46:39
Speaker 8: ability to recite lyrics.
46:43
Speaker 2: I'd also like to test her for different reasons for
46:46
Speaker 2: her TDS, primarily Kinsey. I know so much about that woman,
46:52
Speaker 2: and most of it I don't want to know.
46:55
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, at this rate, Rosie's next interview is
46:58
Speaker 9: going to include her clusters, numbers and the pin to
47:01
Speaker 9: her debit card. I just hope you're mentally prepared, though,
47:04
Speaker 9: because she goes into hosting mode this week on Kimmel,
47:07
Speaker 9: so she's going to be giving us plenty of content.
47:11
Speaker 5: Just check yourself before you wreck yourself.
47:13
Speaker 9: But to your point, this might be one Bill Gates campaign.
47:16
Speaker 1: I can get.
47:16
Speaker 2: Behind Rosie O'Donnell hosting Jimmy Kimmel. I'm going to have
47:23
Speaker 2: more content for Left. He's losing it than I can handle.
47:26
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to double the length of the shot
47:28
Speaker 2: and we're going to have to make some arrangements before
47:31
Speaker 2: you go, just quickly. Nicole Kidman has shocked fans with
47:34
Speaker 2: her new look. She posts for a Vogue photo shoot.
47:39
Speaker 2: Nothing like a post of all sclow up Kinsey.
47:42
Speaker 9: Some morkith Urban just quietly stormed out of a grocery
47:45
Speaker 9: store after looking at nicole Spears magazine cover. You know,
47:48
Speaker 9: her face staring back at him. Nothing motivates a woman
47:51
Speaker 9: quite like knowing her ex husband is going to see
47:53
Speaker 9: her on the cover of Vogue. You're right, She's perfection right.
47:55
Speaker 2: Now, absolutely, particularly if that ex husband allegedly was having
48:01
Speaker 2: an affair with a younger woman that broke up the marriage.
48:04
Speaker 2: I mean, just some extra motivation there if you needed.
48:08
Speaker 2: Kinsey Schofield, always a pleasure. Thank you so much for
48:11
Speaker 2: your time tonight, and that's all the time I have.
48:14
Speaker 2: I'll see you tomorrow night at eleven. Late Edition is
48:17
Speaker 2: up next
