Speaker 2: This is the Winner Panalty Show.
0:09
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panekey Show. Coming
0:12
Speaker 3: up tonight. A historic win for Reform UK in the
0:15
Speaker 3: English Council elections as Nigel Faraja's party picks up over
0:19
Speaker 3: fourteen hundred seats. The Panel will join me to discuss that.
0:23
Speaker 3: In the day's other top headlines. A historic win two
0:27
Speaker 3: for one nation in the far and by election. I'll
0:29
Speaker 3: get Barnaby Joyce's reaction to that. Shortly. Josh Hammer will
0:33
Speaker 3: have the latest from the US, including scenes of insurrection
0:37
Speaker 3: inside the Tennessee State capital and shocking reports that Sarah
0:42
Speaker 3: Ferguson had a secret relationship with Sean P. Diddy. Combs
0:47
Speaker 3: Kinsey's Schofield will bring us the details later in the hour.
0:51
Speaker 3: And Left Is Losing It features the best and brightest
0:55
Speaker 3: that the Progressives have to offer. But before we delve
1:08
Speaker 3: into the by election, let's have a look at the
1:11
Speaker 3: historic win for Reform UK and the English Council elections.
1:15
Speaker 3: The party led by Najel Faraj has picked up more
1:18
Speaker 3: than fourteen hundred and fifty council seats. These seats came
1:21
Speaker 3: at the expense of Labor and the Conservatives. Kis Starmer's
1:25
Speaker 3: party lost almost fifteen hundred seats, while the Conservatives lost
1:29
Speaker 3: over five hundred and sixty. Farage's party one big in
1:33
Speaker 3: former labor heartlands, including Sunderland and Barnsley, where it took
1:39
Speaker 3: control of councils that have been in Labour's hands for
1:43
Speaker 3: over half eighth century. The result has sparked mass panic
1:47
Speaker 3: within Labour rangs, with several ministers calling for the Prime
1:50
Speaker 3: Minister to step down. Joining me now is News Corps
1:54
Speaker 3: senior writer Patrick Carline and Institute of Public Affairs a
1:57
Speaker 3: research fellow Colleen Harken Colleen Kiss Darma. I've got to say,
2:02
Speaker 3: is a dead man walking. That much is clear. But
2:06
Speaker 3: a new leader isn't going to be saving labor. The
2:08
Speaker 3: problems there are far deeper than just care Starmer's leadership.
2:12
Speaker 1: I think that's right. I mean, if you look at it,
2:14
Speaker 1: only about two years ago, Reform only had less than
2:18
Speaker 1: thirty counselors. They're now at two and a half thousand
2:21
Speaker 1: counselors in two years, so it is a very strong movement.
2:26
Speaker 1: The people have spoken. This is sort of a bit
2:28
Speaker 1: like a UK mid term election. It's an indicator of
2:32
Speaker 1: what people are thinking and they're not happy with either
2:35
Speaker 1: of those major parties. Reformer do an extraordinary job. But
2:38
Speaker 1: also the idea of just changing your leader. I think
2:43
Speaker 1: the are smarter than that. They're not just going to
2:45
Speaker 1: sort of see a new face and think that everything
2:47
Speaker 1: else has changed. In order to get back any sense
2:49
Speaker 1: of credibility, the parties have to change their foundational policies
2:54
Speaker 1: about how they see England at the moment and what
2:56
Speaker 1: happens with their immigration, with their housing. It's the same
2:58
Speaker 1: issues here, but it's not going to change anytime soon
3:01
Speaker 1: for those parties.
3:02
Speaker 3: Well, they've got an illegal immigration issue. We don't have.
3:05
Speaker 3: But immigration, legal and illegal is a massive issue there.
3:09
Speaker 3: Net zero is a massive issue. They have absolutely decimated
3:13
Speaker 3: their industries, their economy. There's so much what they call
3:17
Speaker 3: their energy poverty, so people who are not able to
3:21
Speaker 3: pay their gas and electricity bills. But there are a
3:24
Speaker 3: lot of parallels with Australia. Patrick, you look at what's
3:27
Speaker 3: happening with one nation right now, it seems we're just
3:30
Speaker 3: a little bit behind the curve. The US went first
3:32
Speaker 3: with Donald Trump, UK now with reform, and one nation
3:36
Speaker 3: is now becoming a credible force in Australian politics.
3:40
Speaker 4: Absolutely. Look, I mean the UK, and it feels like
3:43
Speaker 4: it's happening here as well. It's gone from two main
3:46
Speaker 4: parties to five for the major political powers. At its point,
3:50
Speaker 4: a lot of them have gone to the right to
3:52
Speaker 4: reform obviously, but the other point too is the Labor
3:55
Speaker 4: government actually lost to the Greens to the left, like
3:57
Speaker 4: they're leaking on both flanks. It's got very fragmented. We're
4:02
Speaker 4: seeing it start to happen here, as we saw with
4:04
Speaker 4: the by election on Saturday. It's a fascinating time for
4:08
Speaker 4: politics because the traditional basis have been eroded.
4:13
Speaker 3: The Greens there again a little bit different perhaps how's
4:16
Speaker 3: it going down the same road, but they've got a
4:19
Speaker 3: really a communist Islamist feel to them. There's a big
4:24
Speaker 3: gaza activism within that party and they're picking up seats
4:28
Speaker 3: from some interesting electorates. So again there's lessons there for
4:33
Speaker 3: both both sides of the political divide here in Australia.
4:37
Speaker 1: I think that's true. I think as you just said
4:39
Speaker 1: that England is just a bit ahead of us, in
4:41
Speaker 1: America is a bit ahead of the world. There is
4:44
Speaker 1: definitely a sense here of that same shift of sentiment,
4:48
Speaker 1: and that the greens here is sort of historically tended
4:52
Speaker 1: to be a little bit more on the conservation in
4:54
Speaker 1: terms of trees thing. But they have also here lost that.
5:00
Speaker 3: They lost that a long time, A long time, maybe,
5:03
Speaker 3: Bob Brown, perhaps.
5:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, they haven't been involved, they haven't sort of been
5:06
Speaker 1: seen to be the champions of trees for a long time.
5:09
Speaker 3: No, they're quite happy for the beautiful Australian landscape to
5:12
Speaker 3: be destroyed for solar panels and wind farms. I mean,
5:17
Speaker 3: and you know they don't often go out there to
5:19
Speaker 3: see their handiwork. But it ain't pretty. I can tell
5:22
Speaker 3: you that. Now here's an example of UK labors. It is. See,
5:25
Speaker 3: you could see exactly the same thing happening here with
5:28
Speaker 3: Australian labor. Kirstarma has appointed Harriet Harmon as his advisor
5:33
Speaker 3: on women and girls. Just did this a couple of
5:35
Speaker 3: days ago. This is a woman who doesn't even know
5:37
Speaker 3: what a woman is, and in twenty twenty two said,
5:40
Speaker 3: as far as I'm concerned, women are women who are
5:43
Speaker 3: born women, but women are also women who are trans women.
5:46
Speaker 3: There you go, Coline, this is the sort of craziness
5:50
Speaker 3: we see here and that's why I think reform takes
5:54
Speaker 3: so many votes from labor in the UK and one
5:57
Speaker 3: nation is going to take a lot of votes from labor. Yep.
6:00
Speaker 3: It's not just the cost of living crisis. It's not
6:03
Speaker 3: just immigration and housing. It's the so called culture wars,
6:07
Speaker 3: which are really values. They are important issues and when
6:11
Speaker 3: it comes to values, this is just one area where
6:14
Speaker 3: labor are at odds, would I say the bulk of
6:18
Speaker 3: their voters where they have just gone down this radical
6:21
Speaker 3: road that the voters don't recognize.
6:24
Speaker 1: And I think there's this thing that they call the
6:26
Speaker 1: long March through the institutions, because this sort of ideological
6:29
Speaker 1: approach to Australian life has gone through the schools, it's
6:33
Speaker 1: gone through the bureaucracy, and the average Australian person who's
6:37
Speaker 1: just trying to put food on the table and look
6:39
Speaker 1: after their family knows it is nonsense. And they both
6:43
Speaker 1: of the parties have done it. Both of the parties
6:45
Speaker 1: of aqueus to an activist agenda, and that's why they're
6:49
Speaker 1: both in decline.
6:51
Speaker 3: The ordinary scene as the uniparty correct.
6:54
Speaker 1: Yes, they're just not standing up for what the average
6:57
Speaker 1: person wants out of a government.
6:58
Speaker 3: They don't want the active gender.
7:01
Speaker 5: Now.
7:01
Speaker 3: We had the far A by election over the weekend
7:04
Speaker 3: when One Nation candidate David Farley defeated till Michelle Milthorpe.
7:09
Speaker 3: The seat was vacated by former Position leader Susan Lee
7:12
Speaker 3: and had been held exclusively by the Coalition since its
7:16
Speaker 3: creation back in nineteen forty nine. But have a listen
7:20
Speaker 3: here to the ABC's Patricia carr vellis talk about the
7:23
Speaker 3: possibility that one Nation could win more seats.
7:26
Speaker 6: A big and dangerous mistake to legitimize one nation and
7:30
Speaker 6: to embolden one nation.
7:32
Speaker 7: I used the term.
7:32
Speaker 6: Earlier on in the broadcast, the permission structure. If they
7:35
Speaker 6: are able to win their first Lower House seat, that
7:39
Speaker 6: begins the process of legitimizing them and in other electorates
7:43
Speaker 6: where they may run, Voters thinking, well, it's happened before,
7:46
Speaker 6: it's normal. Now you start normalizing something.
7:50
Speaker 3: Patrick, the Prime Minister, has also regurgitated this ABC talking point.
7:55
Speaker 3: He told for Caken's Radio that the Liberal and National
7:59
Speaker 3: parties are held legitimize one Nation. I mean this is
8:02
Speaker 3: such outdated thinking. You must think one Nation is still
8:07
Speaker 3: polling three four percent. Times have changed.
8:10
Speaker 4: Yeah, Look, I think the labor and the liberal parties
8:13
Speaker 4: have legitimised one Nation in effect by what we were
8:16
Speaker 4: just talking about, by dabbling with distractions, being ideologically driven
8:22
Speaker 4: in ways that people don't understand or recognize. They don't
8:26
Speaker 4: want that from their governments, and one Nation is actually
8:29
Speaker 4: you know, Paul Enhancem's been pushing anti immigrations to the
8:33
Speaker 4: policies for thirty years. Older Australians are sort of wondering
8:37
Speaker 4: that they can't afford to buy houses, they don't have
8:40
Speaker 4: enough money. It resonates in a way, and that resonates
8:43
Speaker 4: because of the failures of the mainstream parties now.
8:46
Speaker 3: Labor pollster Colsa Marus has said that no party can
8:50
Speaker 3: win elections without appealing to voters of Indian and Chinese heritage.
8:56
Speaker 7: You cannot live in the lodge as Prime Minister unless
8:59
Speaker 7: you're winning Melbourne Sydney and you cannot win Melbourne and
9:03
Speaker 7: Sydney without the Indian and Chinese deasperates full stop. And
9:08
Speaker 7: of course, as you just touched on, the Indian community
9:11
Speaker 7: now is the largest diasper in the country. It's overwhelmingly
9:17
Speaker 7: by a country mole, the largest in Victoria and combined
9:20
Speaker 7: Chinese in Indian and Australians in New South Wales are
9:24
Speaker 7: absolutely kazump those from England and Cosa.
9:29
Speaker 3: Mars also pointed out that those Australians born in England
9:32
Speaker 3: tend to be a lot older than the average migrant
9:35
Speaker 3: from India.
9:37
Speaker 7: You've decided on a political strategy that is not going
9:40
Speaker 7: to be focused to these other coborts that we've been
9:42
Speaker 7: talking about. You're going to run out of tarmac. The
9:45
Speaker 7: median age of someone who was born in the UK
9:47
Speaker 7: and lives here is fifty nine. The median age of
9:50
Speaker 7: someone who was born in India and lives here is
9:52
Speaker 7: thirty six.
9:55
Speaker 3: Going to run out of tarmac. That's one way of
9:57
Speaker 3: putting it, Colleen. I think it's really quite simplistic to
10:02
Speaker 3: assume that voters who are say Chinese or Indian aren't
10:06
Speaker 3: going to vote for one nation, for example, or will
10:11
Speaker 3: only vote for the coalition if they lurch to the left.
10:15
Speaker 3: I think people forget that these communities tend to be
10:19
Speaker 3: socially conservative. They're aspirational, I would say, even more so
10:24
Speaker 3: than a lot of people born and bred here. They're
10:26
Speaker 3: very focused on wealth creation, financial stability for their children,
10:31
Speaker 3: and there is a lot of ground for a party
10:33
Speaker 3: like One Nation or the Coalition to appeal to those voters.
10:36
Speaker 1: I think it's an extraordinary insult to those communities to
10:40
Speaker 1: be honest, that Costumaris would come out and say that
10:42
Speaker 1: they are a block, but because their ethnicity is Indian
10:46
Speaker 1: or Chinese, they will therefore all do the same thing.
10:49
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's not giving them any credit for,
10:51
Speaker 1: as you say, for having different aspirations. IPA research will
10:55
Speaker 1: tell you that seventy seven percent of migrants actually subscribe
10:58
Speaker 1: to Australian values, and that Australian values means that you
11:02
Speaker 1: have this independence of your life. You're not sort of
11:04
Speaker 1: stuck where you were, whatever country you came from. I
11:08
Speaker 1: think this is why One Nation are doing so well.
11:11
Speaker 1: It's because the ordinary Australian is standing up and saying
11:14
Speaker 1: we've had enough of this acquiescing to a group, acquiescing
11:18
Speaker 1: to the green sort of climate change, or to a
11:22
Speaker 1: group of ethnic the community and sort of forgetting who
11:26
Speaker 1: Australia is and what we stand for. And I think
11:29
Speaker 1: that sort of analysis is completely wrongheaded about understanding the
11:33
Speaker 1: ordinary voter and what they want out of the politicians.
11:37
Speaker 3: Patrick again, if you're going to compare Australia with US
11:41
Speaker 3: or UK Democrats made the same assumption when he came
11:45
Speaker 3: to ethnic voters, and Donald Trump has done particularly well
11:50
Speaker 3: with those demographics, particularly Latino voters, Asian voters, and a
11:55
Speaker 3: lot of it has to do with values, and that's
11:57
Speaker 3: what he pushed very heavily during his campaign, this notion
12:02
Speaker 3: of the radical agenda of the left. The trans issue
12:06
Speaker 3: was brought up over and over again, and it's a
12:10
Speaker 3: significant issue. People think that all people care about are
12:13
Speaker 3: taxes and housing. Of course they're hugely important, but the
12:17
Speaker 3: values that you're instilling their children and schools and in
12:21
Speaker 3: the culture that gets voters activated as well.
12:24
Speaker 4: Absolutely. Look we've seen Trump do that in terms of
12:27
Speaker 4: American values. He talks about American values. It's not about
12:31
Speaker 4: the Latinos or whoever. It's about actually being an American
12:35
Speaker 4: and being a proud American. And I think we're starting
12:38
Speaker 4: to see that more in Australian now, where we're talking
12:40
Speaker 4: about Australian values. We're not talking about the Indian community
12:44
Speaker 4: as a block. We're talking about people who have come
12:47
Speaker 4: here to make a better life and to do well
12:50
Speaker 4: and to succeed. And the idea that somehow they're cocoons
12:54
Speaker 4: and sort of locked into that one little part of
12:59
Speaker 4: the electric they go vote that way or that way.
13:01
Speaker 4: It really is. It is patronizing.
13:04
Speaker 3: It is and one of the things one nation do
13:06
Speaker 3: particularly well Collene is their social media. It stands out
13:11
Speaker 3: dramatically from what Labour offering and the Coalition. Here's an example.
13:16
Speaker 3: They have the please explain cartoons We've played for you
13:19
Speaker 3: a lot on this station. This is the latest edition.
13:22
Speaker 3: And here Albo assembles his team to figure out why
13:26
Speaker 3: Pauline Hanson is so popular and why Elbow's personal popularity
13:31
Speaker 3: has plummeted.
13:32
Speaker 8: This is our problem.
13:33
Speaker 9: I need to call a meeting, Labor assembol a right,
13:43
Speaker 9: stop mucking around.
13:44
Speaker 3: This is an emergency. We've got a crisis on ahead.
13:46
Speaker 9: Oh no, it's inflation, isn't it, the truion dollar dead er,
13:49
Speaker 9: addiction to spending, the blood of biocracy now completing competence. No,
13:53
Speaker 9: it's because we all love taking the taxpayer for a ride.
13:56
Speaker 9: Isn't that right?
13:57
Speaker 3: Arnaka, she's not here.
13:58
Speaker 9: She's got skiing, but no. Instruction of the Australian economy
14:01
Speaker 9: is the least about concerns. I know what it is.
14:03
Speaker 9: China's got us buy the balls, and we're completely defenseless.
14:07
Speaker 7: Our military is an absolute embarrassment.
14:09
Speaker 3: It's because I'm a peanut.
14:10
Speaker 9: Isn't it.
14:11
Speaker 3: I knew it.
14:11
Speaker 9: It's my obsession with NAT zero that's the problem. No, Bowen,
14:14
Speaker 9: it's way worse than that.
14:16
Speaker 7: Well, looks like my isist brides have finally come home
14:18
Speaker 7: to roost and their kids. They blow up so quickly,
14:22
Speaker 7: don't they.
14:23
Speaker 9: Know, Tony Burker, it's our springs. We're to scared to
14:26
Speaker 9: even talk about it because of racism. It's the Holsing crisis,
14:30
Speaker 9: isn't it?
14:30
Speaker 3: Everything I touch turns to biker? Can you tell me?
14:34
Speaker 9: Please get Charlotte Walker and your nappy please. Our biggest
14:37
Speaker 9: problem is the fifty four percent of people don't like
14:39
Speaker 9: me anymore. Wait, fifty four percent, that's almost a majority.
14:45
Speaker 3: Fifty four percent that's all was the majority. I mean.
14:48
Speaker 3: The whole thing's about seven eight minutes long, and it's funny, Colleen,
14:53
Speaker 3: it's it has come through. You don't have to be
14:56
Speaker 3: particularly into politics, though it does help because there's a
14:58
Speaker 3: lot of little jokes in there, and you don't see
15:02
Speaker 3: the Coalition doing anything like that, nor Labor or the Greens. No,
15:06
Speaker 3: it's hilarious.
15:07
Speaker 1: I love that stuff and the funny part of it
15:08
Speaker 1: that is unfunny because it's mostly true.
15:10
Speaker 3: Yes, you know, and it is one of those.
15:14
Speaker 1: Ways that modern politics engages with people and it gets
15:17
Speaker 1: them to think about things. Like I said, I mean, most.
15:19
Speaker 10: Of that is true, so it does.
15:21
Speaker 1: It is a way of saying things in a more
15:23
Speaker 1: entertaining way that do cut through, They do engage, particularly
15:27
Speaker 1: younger people. It's no surprise that stuff is so popular.
15:30
Speaker 3: I tell you, if you watch that full cartoon, you
15:32
Speaker 3: might find out a few things about Get Up, which
15:34
Speaker 3: I didn't even know. Honestly, I thought I knew a
15:36
Speaker 3: fair bit about Get Up. Patrick. Pauline Hanson's personal popularity
15:43
Speaker 3: that in itself presents a problem for both the Coalition
15:46
Speaker 3: and Labor. Labor have realized it doesn't pay to personally
15:50
Speaker 3: attack her. It's counterproductive. I don't know if the Coalition
15:54
Speaker 3: have figured that out, but they'll need to come up
15:55
Speaker 3: with a way where they can attack one nation without
15:58
Speaker 3: really going after its leader.
16:00
Speaker 5: Yeah.
16:00
Speaker 4: Look, Pauline Hanson's been in public life for thirty years
16:03
Speaker 4: and she's been consistent, and that's been a message I've
16:06
Speaker 4: been saying. I was saying this in nineteen ninety six,
16:08
Speaker 4: I'm saying it today in twenty twenty six, and it
16:12
Speaker 4: resonates in a way for all the reasons we're been
16:14
Speaker 4: talking about. People actually listen to her now. She was
16:19
Speaker 4: treated like a bit of a fringe sort of character.
16:22
Speaker 4: Now she's mainstream, she's box off office, and to attack
16:27
Speaker 4: her personally isn't going to work because people have sort
16:30
Speaker 4: of said, well, hang on, She's saying things that resonate
16:33
Speaker 4: with me in a way that the mainstream parties don't.
16:36
Speaker 3: And she's got that authenticity as well, which I think
16:39
Speaker 3: people respect. Whether they agree with her or not. They
16:42
Speaker 3: do think she's real. She's not some sort of a
16:44
Speaker 3: political creation that just looks at what focus groups are
16:48
Speaker 3: telling her. Colleen run out of time, guys, Patrick Carlin
16:51
Speaker 3: and Colleen, how can thank you so much for your time?
16:53
Speaker 3: Thank you for more on the historic parah biolexture. Let's
16:58
Speaker 3: bring in One Nation, MP Barnaby, Joyce Barnaby. This is
17:02
Speaker 3: a famous victory. It wasn't even close. The coalition through
17:06
Speaker 3: everything at this seat, the left, via the tills, through
17:09
Speaker 3: millions of the season, your man David Valley won in
17:13
Speaker 3: a landslide.
17:15
Speaker 11: Yeah, obviously, I think a good day for Australia to
17:18
Speaker 11: show that the dynamics of conservative politics are alive and well.
17:23
Speaker 11: People pushing back against this ridiculous idea that we can
17:26
Speaker 11: change to the temperature of Australia, change the weather from Canberra.
17:33
Speaker 11: We have the fingers of socialism by Green Polsy through
17:37
Speaker 11: so much of Australian people want those fingers of green
17:40
Speaker 11: socialism out of their life. We have basically in seed
17:44
Speaker 11: everywhere people upset that we can't Actually.
17:48
Speaker 5: We're brought in too many people into Australia for which.
17:52
Speaker 11: We don't have the capacity to cover them with the
17:54
Speaker 11: requirements of house and education, health.
17:57
Speaker 5: It's got to be a reality, jeck. People had rumbled
18:01
Speaker 5: too much trust to.
18:03
Speaker 11: Be frank in the coalition for so long to make
18:05
Speaker 11: the changes, to show some gumption and direction and be
18:08
Speaker 11: sort of sold in their policy structure. They couldn't do it,
18:11
Speaker 11: and people moved on. The Labor Party didn't even turn up,
18:14
Speaker 11: and so those people moved to one nation as well.
18:18
Speaker 3: Now you've been having all sorts of clashes, Barnaby. This
18:21
Speaker 3: morning you and tannire Plipersek were battling it out on
18:25
Speaker 3: morning radio. They got rather heated, and you were very
18:28
Speaker 3: critical of the Liberals campaign too. On Election ninety made
18:32
Speaker 3: a point of singling out James Patterson's contribution. Was that
18:37
Speaker 3: a little unfair.
18:39
Speaker 5: I think James was way of line.
18:41
Speaker 11: I continue to say that because get there, James is
18:44
Speaker 11: a young man and he's confronted a pensioner who's smaller
18:48
Speaker 11: than him. I just don't think that's becoming of a politeach.
18:52
Speaker 11: And now he's got a camera in his face. People
18:55
Speaker 11: don't like that. But do you think John how would
18:57
Speaker 11: have done that, or John Anderson or love Robert Gordon
19:00
Speaker 11: Menzies Bork You can't do that.
19:04
Speaker 5: And going through the moneyche of I was kind of
19:06
Speaker 5: in the right.
19:07
Speaker 11: People don't care about that, and they say you're on
19:09
Speaker 11: thousand dollars a year, that's a penure.
19:11
Speaker 5: They've paid your way. Just step back, let it wash
19:14
Speaker 5: over you.
19:16
Speaker 3: Now. One Nation has said its sites on Western Sydney
19:19
Speaker 3: for the next federal election. Why do you see that
19:22
Speaker 3: region at region as gettable?
19:25
Speaker 11: Because I've been talking to them and we have issues
19:28
Speaker 11: such as christ power people over green policy.
19:32
Speaker 5: I was just speaking to Western Sydney actually this morning,
19:38
Speaker 5: same things.
19:39
Speaker 11: They don't believe that Australia with so too many opportunities.
19:44
Speaker 5: I mean, we've got Singapore as.
19:46
Speaker 11: An island off the Minchau of Malaysia and without any coal, iron,
19:52
Speaker 11: old gas, bok site gold, cattle, sheep irrigation, has an
19:58
Speaker 11: economy about bart the size of Australia. Australia all bless
20:03
Speaker 11: all these resources is sort of languishing going backwards. And
20:07
Speaker 11: the difference reader is management, bad management, bad management from Australia.
20:12
Speaker 11: People see the potential of this nation and they're so
20:15
Speaker 11: frustrated that we haven't capitalized on it. And they see
20:18
Speaker 11: the reason for that is a government that was the
20:20
Speaker 11: panter to green ideas to sort of you know, wants
20:24
Speaker 11: to take over the responsibility of being the family rather
20:27
Speaker 11: than let families be the family. You know, these are
20:29
Speaker 11: the sort of issues that I sort of have driven
20:33
Speaker 11: people to a point where they just say I'm under
20:36
Speaker 11: this and changing my vote.
20:39
Speaker 3: Now moving on to the budget and the Prime Minister
20:42
Speaker 3: spoke to ABC Radio this morning here said Labor is
20:46
Speaker 3: going to well, we know what they're going to break
20:48
Speaker 3: a series of election promises on negative gearing and capital
20:51
Speaker 3: gains tax. But the Prime Minister says good governments make
20:55
Speaker 3: the right decisions for the right reasons have listened to this.
20:59
Speaker 2: Clearly, people are frustrated issues like intergenerational equity. People are
21:05
Speaker 2: worried that a younger Australians are never going to get
21:07
Speaker 2: a crack at home ownership.
21:10
Speaker 6: But the circumstances that are here now when it comes
21:12
Speaker 6: to intergenerational equity, how are they different from what they
21:16
Speaker 6: were before the last election.
21:20
Speaker 2: How they are different is that they continue to be
21:24
Speaker 2: entrenched without reform.
21:28
Speaker 3: There you go, barnaby, the broken promises are justified to
21:32
Speaker 3: avoid entrenching into generational inequity. What's your response to that?
21:38
Speaker 11: Remember a lady called promise and Julia Gillard saying there
21:41
Speaker 11: will be no carbon tats under government I lead and I.
21:45
Speaker 5: Actually saw, I think, and the other needs of the
21:47
Speaker 5: same spot.
21:49
Speaker 11: At Brisbane saying there will be no changes to capital
21:52
Speaker 11: gains tax or negative peering. You just if you can't
21:55
Speaker 11: stand by a promise, it means we don't have to
21:58
Speaker 11: listen to any.
21:59
Speaker 5: The promises you ever. Mate.
22:00
Speaker 11: It's irrational, it's it's vacuous, There is no point. Would
22:06
Speaker 11: it just goes to show you that you can't trust
22:09
Speaker 11: these people.
22:10
Speaker 5: And that's a very sad thing.
22:11
Speaker 11: To say about Australian politics, and you can't trust your
22:14
Speaker 11: Prime Minister of Australia, Well you.
22:18
Speaker 3: Could argue, I guess Barnaby that there's no mandate for
22:21
Speaker 3: the changes we're going to hear about tomorrow. Barnaby Joyce,
22:25
Speaker 3: thank you so much for your time tonight. I really
22:26
Speaker 3: appreciate it. Still to come. Lefties losing it pass all
22:32
Speaker 3: the latest from the US, including scenes of insurrection inside
22:36
Speaker 3: the Tennessee State capital. Josh Hammer is up next. You're
22:51
Speaker 3: watching the Reader Panehy Show, and it's time for Lefties
22:54
Speaker 3: losing it. You know, sometimes we have to listen to
22:58
Speaker 3: the left, really try to see things from their side.
23:02
Speaker 3: Maybe socialism can work. Maybe his septum rings and short
23:06
Speaker 3: fringes aren't a sign of mental decay. Maybe progressives have
23:11
Speaker 3: a valuable contribution to make to public life. Here is
23:14
Speaker 3: a striking example of the left's best and brightest. Let's
23:33
Speaker 3: go to Scotland briefly, where this man was just elected
23:36
Speaker 3: to the Scottish Parliament despite the fact that he's not
23:40
Speaker 3: a British citizen, doesn't even have permanent residency. But what
23:44
Speaker 3: he does have is well, he's trans and he's green.
23:48
Speaker 2: My name is doctor q Manvan and I am a
23:50
Speaker 2: transgender thumbel immigrant to my pronouns.
23:52
Speaker 3: Are they them? BBC reports he will have to renew
23:59
Speaker 3: his visa whilst he's in Parliament, and the Scottish Greens
24:03
Speaker 3: believe the fat new salary the Indian national will be
24:06
Speaker 3: receiving will make obtaining a new visa more straightforward. Great
24:10
Speaker 3: to hear, as so good of the BBC to mangle
24:14
Speaker 3: the English language by referring to a single person as
24:17
Speaker 3: they them throughout their article idiots talking about idiots. Here
24:22
Speaker 3: is twenty seconds of lefty women crying about democracy in
24:27
Speaker 3: the UK and the triumph of Nigel Faraja's right wing
24:31
Speaker 3: reform party.
24:32
Speaker 10: Well, no, I love it and disappointed.
24:36
Speaker 3: I'm horrified.
24:40
Speaker 12: There goes my future, there goes my rights.
24:52
Speaker 3: I've got hours more of that, folks, but it's a
24:55
Speaker 3: pretty repetitive, pretty boring rinse and repeat. Though I did
24:59
Speaker 3: enjoy that life. One we saw she fled Trump's America,
25:02
Speaker 3: only for the UK to swing hard to the right. Tough,
25:06
Speaker 3: tittious love, as the British like to say. Now, you
25:09
Speaker 3: may be shocked to learn how much democrats spend buying offers,
25:13
Speaker 3: I mean running for offers. Here is CNN explaining Lefty
25:17
Speaker 3: Tom Steyer has already spent one hundred and forty five million.
25:21
Speaker 5: Spending for California governor's top candidate spenders.
25:24
Speaker 8: Tom Steyer has already spent one hundred and forty five
25:28
Speaker 8: million dollars.
25:30
Speaker 3: Now, woman who doesn't have Tom Styr's money, but she
25:33
Speaker 3: shares his putrid politics. It's Democrat Katie Porter.
25:37
Speaker 5: Well.
25:37
Speaker 3: She said the quiet bit out loud. During a debate,
25:41
Speaker 3: she admitted Democrats' need I legal immigrants to soften the
25:45
Speaker 3: blow of scores of Californians fleeing the state every year.
25:50
Speaker 13: The sanctuary steep policy is designed to make sure that
25:53
Speaker 13: our state resources the taxpayer dollars, the public servants that
25:57
Speaker 13: we have are focusing on doing their jobs, which is
26:01
Speaker 13: not cooperating with the federal immigration authorities. These are Californians,
26:06
Speaker 13: They contribute to our economy, they pay taxes, and they're
26:09
Speaker 13: one of the only ways that our steve has been
26:11
Speaker 13: growing in recent years.
26:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty much the only way your state has
26:15
Speaker 3: been growing in recent years. Now, let's go to one
26:18
Speaker 3: of my favorite states, Tennessee. Whether Democrats have lost whatever
26:22
Speaker 3: grip they had on reality after lawmakers passed a new
26:25
Speaker 3: congressional map that sets up a potential flip of the
26:29
Speaker 3: state's final Democratic seat. You know what Democrats have been
26:33
Speaker 3: doing for decades in blue states. Well, Republicans are finally
26:37
Speaker 3: returning the favor in red states, and the meltdown has
26:41
Speaker 3: been something to behold. Here is Democrat Justin Pearson swearing
26:46
Speaker 3: at state troopers trying to keep the peace.
27:00
Speaker 5: Okay, get wrong with you.
27:06
Speaker 3: It's disgraceful antics. Those poor state troopers are trying to
27:09
Speaker 3: keep the peace, trying to do their job. And that
27:12
Speaker 3: Democrat dude is someone I've covered previously in this segment
27:17
Speaker 3: because Justin Pearson is a lefty but is not exactly authentic.
27:22
Speaker 3: This is how he used to look and sound.
27:25
Speaker 4: I wanted you this by pargering with organizations from the
27:28
Speaker 4: boom Democrats to the boone Republicans.
27:30
Speaker 9: I want to bring together different voices, dissenting voices, voices
27:34
Speaker 9: that may be more liberal or more conservative, in order
27:36
Speaker 9: that we can reach a point of sort of the
27:38
Speaker 9: radical middle.
27:39
Speaker 3: This is how he looks and sounds these days.
27:43
Speaker 11: You've read three strikes laws mass incnserration.
27:46
Speaker 3: Deny us of who we are, and we are still
27:50
Speaker 3: here and.
27:50
Speaker 11: Today take the only majority black district from us.
27:55
Speaker 3: Something has changed. I can't put my finger on it.
27:58
Speaker 3: Let's have a look at one more example of Justin's
28:01
Speaker 3: latest shtick. Now, let's have a look at some of
28:21
Speaker 3: the crazy scenes inside the Tennessee State Capital. This is
28:24
Speaker 3: how democrats react when they don't like the democratic process.
28:28
Speaker 3: It feels a little insurrectiony to me. Joining me now
28:49
Speaker 3: is Newsweek's senior editor at large, Josh Hammer. Josh, tell
28:53
Speaker 3: me about the significance of what happened in Tennessee.
28:58
Speaker 8: Yeah, this absolutely as an insurrection rita. You are totally
29:01
Speaker 8: using the correct name. By the way, some of these
29:03
Speaker 8: some of these specific antics actually of the individual insurrectionists
29:07
Speaker 8: I think are notable here. So you have Justin Jones,
29:10
Speaker 8: who is a state rebresentative there in the Tennessee State House,
29:13
Speaker 8: a man who is trying to make a name for himself,
29:15
Speaker 8: trying to become one of the new faces of the
29:17
Speaker 8: Democratic Party, trying to become the next Alec, the next
29:19
Speaker 8: Iona Presley. He's basically marching around here with the Confederate
29:23
Speaker 8: flag and saying we will not go back. And I
29:27
Speaker 8: pointed out because one of his colleagues. Another Democrat there
29:31
Speaker 8: in the Tennessee House. I can't even say this because
29:35
Speaker 8: it's it's so shocking actually said Memphis, Tennessee should secede
29:38
Speaker 8: from Tennessee. Now I mentioned those two examples because you
29:42
Speaker 8: literally cannot square the circle. You have one guy who's
29:45
Speaker 8: holding up the Confederate flag, which is the embodiment of secession,
29:49
Speaker 8: and he's saying we will not go back, and then
29:52
Speaker 8: his colleague is saying Memphis should secede from Tennessee. So
29:57
Speaker 8: you know, pick one. You're literally can't have it both ways.
30:01
Speaker 8: But the more relevant ploym when it comes to the
30:04
Speaker 8: natural substance is this what the speed Cord said in
30:07
Speaker 8: the Louisiana Voting Rights Act case a couple of weeks
30:10
Speaker 8: ago is very clear, and it's very straightforward, and frankly,
30:13
Speaker 8: it is decades overdue. They said that you cannot use
30:17
Speaker 8: race in the purported name of trying to not discriminate
30:20
Speaker 8: on based races. Every time that you actually invoke race,
30:23
Speaker 8: by definition, you're discriminating on the basis of race. So
30:26
Speaker 8: these would be civil rights crusaders, you know, these would
30:29
Speaker 8: be twenty first century for twenty per century. Al Sharpton's
30:32
Speaker 8: and people like that there are trying to make you
30:35
Speaker 8: think that the least racist thing to do is to
30:38
Speaker 8: use race. Is basically just the Ebram X Kenny theory
30:41
Speaker 8: of race all over again. Ibram Kenny, who had his
30:43
Speaker 8: moment in the sun in the moral panic of the
30:45
Speaker 8: George Floyd riots there, said that the best way to
30:48
Speaker 8: be an anti racist is actually to be a racist
30:51
Speaker 8: and actually to discriminate against white people. There, So they're
30:53
Speaker 8: trying to essentially resuscitate this twenty twenty twenty twenty one
30:58
Speaker 8: critical race theory George Floyd esque error. It's not going
31:02
Speaker 8: to work, though, because now Donald Trump is president. Donald
31:04
Speaker 8: Trump is not putting up with this, and frankly, thank
31:07
Speaker 8: god that we have the eight conservative Wingspreme Court that
31:09
Speaker 8: that will not help this country.
31:12
Speaker 3: Well more on this decision. And you're so right. This
31:16
Speaker 3: whole notion of reverse racism and racism, it's all just racism.
31:21
Speaker 3: There's no positive discrimination. It's just discrimination. But let's talk
31:26
Speaker 3: about the other states that are going to be impacted
31:29
Speaker 3: and what is going to be the net impact of
31:32
Speaker 3: these redistricting efforts. We're now seeing how many seats are
31:37
Speaker 3: Democrats going to gain in states like California, and how
31:41
Speaker 3: many are Republicans going to gain now that they're going
31:44
Speaker 3: to play by the same rules essentially.
31:47
Speaker 8: Yeah, So the news on Friday morning was that the
31:49
Speaker 8: Supreme Court of Virginia has officially now nullified the entire
31:52
Speaker 8: Virginia redishitting referendums. That was going to be a four
31:55
Speaker 8: seed power grab. Avagil Stamberger, who infamously ran as a
31:59
Speaker 8: moderate for Governor of Virginia, who was governed as anything
32:02
Speaker 8: but a moderate in her fairly short tenure thus far.
32:05
Speaker 8: In Richmond, the capital of Virginia, she was trying to
32:07
Speaker 8: pass this referendum. It actually did, in theory pass by
32:11
Speaker 8: a fairly narrow margin, about three points. The DNC. The
32:14
Speaker 8: National Democrats spent about seventy to eighty million dollars actually
32:17
Speaker 8: trying to get that thing across the finish line, all
32:19
Speaker 8: humorously to have a thrown out by a four to
32:21
Speaker 8: three decision in Supreme Court Virginia. So that is going
32:23
Speaker 8: to be essentially a four seat loss for Democrats that
32:26
Speaker 8: they couldn't get that thing across the finish line. The
32:29
Speaker 8: Gavin Newsom regis in California will definitely net Democrats some seats,
32:33
Speaker 8: but virtually everywhere else you look read. The Republicans are
32:35
Speaker 8: going to stand to gain seats as results of this
32:38
Speaker 8: fairly rare mid decade redissipping push. So Greg Abbott in
32:42
Speaker 8: Texas is going to net probably five seats, give or take.
32:45
Speaker 8: It will dependence on the margins, but give her take
32:47
Speaker 8: five seats. Here in Florida where I live, Ronda San
32:50
Speaker 8: diis and the Florida Republicans are going to net, but
32:53
Speaker 8: surely four additional seats there. And that's just the two
32:56
Speaker 8: largest red states Texas in Florida there. So they continued
32:58
Speaker 8: fallout of this voting right decision will continue to have
33:01
Speaker 8: repercussions all across the broader South. So Louisiana is likely
33:04
Speaker 8: going to net at least one, possibly two new seats
33:08
Speaker 8: for Republicans. Tennessee, which we were just talking about there,
33:10
Speaker 8: that's going to be at least one new seats. Alabama
33:12
Speaker 8: will be one, maybe two new more seats. South Carolina
33:15
Speaker 8: could follow.
33:16
Speaker 10: Georgia.
33:16
Speaker 8: It's a little more complicated with the middle of lest year,
33:18
Speaker 8: but a lot of these southern states that have majority
33:21
Speaker 8: white populations but a sizeable black population, these are the
33:25
Speaker 8: states that were really the focus of the Voting Rights
33:27
Speaker 8: Act regime as was implemented there. These are the places
33:30
Speaker 8: where you had these legislatures, wallmakers who were trying to
33:33
Speaker 8: carve out these majority minority districts, these black majority districts there,
33:37
Speaker 8: which again they thought they were doing this rita to
33:40
Speaker 8: not discribe in the face of race. The irony is
33:41
Speaker 8: that they were literally discriminating against white people in these
33:44
Speaker 8: states there. So these bumps essentially are going to be
33:47
Speaker 8: out of seats there. People like Jim Clyburn in South Carolina,
33:49
Speaker 8: who who's long been a maker in democratic politics in
33:52
Speaker 8: South Carolina, he is going to be out of a
33:55
Speaker 8: seat all but a surely come at least twenty twenty eight,
34:00
Speaker 8: not twenty twenty STI, but sooner and later it he'll
34:01
Speaker 8: be gone. Hank Johnson and Georgia's same thing there. So
34:04
Speaker 8: the whole net of this is that when you can
34:06
Speaker 8: get a twenty thirty, which is the next census there,
34:08
Speaker 8: the census is going to show just a further further egress,
34:10
Speaker 8: a further exit of blue states in California, You're any
34:13
Speaker 8: further ingress into red states like Florida and Texas there.
34:16
Speaker 8: So take the Voting Rights Act, take the fact that Republicans,
34:19
Speaker 8: frankly there just a lot better at this game the
34:20
Speaker 8: Democrats are, and they take the fact that people are
34:22
Speaker 8: moving to red skates from blue states. They're all this
34:24
Speaker 8: to say that in post next sensus, come twenty thirty
34:27
Speaker 8: come twenty thirty two, the map's going to look very,
34:30
Speaker 8: very very different there, and it's going to get a
34:31
Speaker 8: lot harder for Democrats state the House, and frankly a
34:34
Speaker 8: lot harder as well for Democrats to win the electoral
34:35
Speaker 8: College and there for the presidency.
34:38
Speaker 3: We want greater representative democracy, don't we. We don't want
34:42
Speaker 3: to have states like New England where the Republicans get around, say,
34:47
Speaker 3: forty to forty five percent of the vote and have
34:49
Speaker 3: zero representatives. You want to have some sort of representative democracy.
34:53
Speaker 3: And I think the more we say of that the better.
34:57
Speaker 3: Now in Indiana, the Republicans there refuse to f President
35:00
Speaker 3: Trump's redistricting strategy and they paid a heavy price. Josh,
35:05
Speaker 3: what happened in the primary is there?
35:08
Speaker 5: Yeah?
35:08
Speaker 8: So Donald Trump, by the way, along with Jim Banks.
35:11
Speaker 8: Jim Banks is one of these senators from Indiana I
35:14
Speaker 8: personally think quite highly for he's actually a rising star
35:16
Speaker 8: in the Republican Party who someone very much to keep
35:19
Speaker 8: our eyes on there. So Center Banks basically teamed up
35:22
Speaker 8: with President Trump to try to seek revenge on these squishes,
35:26
Speaker 8: the rhinos there in the Indiana Senate who opposed Donald
35:29
Speaker 8: Trump's request to reach Indiana to net at least one,
35:33
Speaker 8: possibly more than one, additional seats for Republicans there, And
35:37
Speaker 8: long story short, he was very successful. He won of
35:39
Speaker 8: the vast majority of these primary challenges. To state the obvious,
35:43
Speaker 8: it's easier so than done to primary and incumbent official
35:46
Speaker 8: there one who is in office, who's familiar to voters there,
35:49
Speaker 8: who has a campaign operation there, who is running free
35:51
Speaker 8: election there. So Trump was able to knock off at
35:55
Speaker 8: at least five to seven. Last I checked, Senate District
35:58
Speaker 8: twenty three was essentially two close counts with a single
36:01
Speaker 8: digit margin. Is probably gonna go to a hand vote
36:02
Speaker 8: recount kind of thing there, and then one incumbent barely
36:05
Speaker 8: survived there. But the vast majority of these incumbents were
36:09
Speaker 8: picked off, And that's really really important because it says
36:12
Speaker 8: a lot, frankly about the states of Donald Trump's approover
36:15
Speaker 8: ratings and how much Republicans currently like the guy. As
36:19
Speaker 8: we head into this NOVEMPA. It's been a lot of
36:21
Speaker 8: talk on the media, a lot of talk frankly among
36:23
Speaker 8: the pollsters that Donald Trump is losing popularity among Republicans. There,
36:27
Speaker 8: he's losing popularity among the mad God. They say it's
36:29
Speaker 8: because of the war against Iran, it's because of this
36:31
Speaker 8: that there. It's not true. Okay, it's literally not true.
36:34
Speaker 8: Donal trans pool rings among his party, among his base
36:37
Speaker 8: are very very high. He is still the guy. His
36:41
Speaker 8: endorsement still goes way further than anyone else's in the
36:44
Speaker 8: entire party, frankly, in the entire movement. There and a
36:47
Speaker 8: bunch of swishes in the Indiana Senate were just the
36:49
Speaker 8: lays ones to find it out the hard way.
36:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, what happened in Indiana. Wow, that was astonishing. I
36:56
Speaker 3: think that took a few people by surprise, and there
36:59
Speaker 3: will be a few other He'll be perhaps looking at
37:02
Speaker 3: similar results shortly. Now we've mentioned the Virginia Democrats. This
37:06
Speaker 3: is how well they're going. They managed to misspell Virginia
37:10
Speaker 3: and Senator in their motion to delay the Virginia Supreme
37:14
Speaker 3: Courts ruling on Jerry Manderings. That's how well they are traveling.
37:18
Speaker 3: That I spent sixty four million dollars on that referendum
37:22
Speaker 3: that has been struck out, and one man who's been
37:25
Speaker 3: very outspoken on this issue and pretty much everything else
37:29
Speaker 3: is Barack Obama. Josh, you've written about the former president,
37:33
Speaker 3: and you ask the pertinent question, why won't Barack Obama
37:37
Speaker 3: go away? Tell me more?
37:40
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's the question reader there. Frankly, I've been dying
37:43
Speaker 8: to know for some years now. Barack Obama, unlike virtually
37:45
Speaker 8: every other president in my lifetime, has physically stayed in
37:49
Speaker 8: the nation's capital. Actually, this never happened, frankly until Woodrow Wilson,
37:53
Speaker 8: who was America's first great tyrannical president is actually the
37:57
Speaker 8: guy who created the Ministry of States. He famously stayed
38:00
Speaker 8: in WASHINGTC. Barack Obama then became the first president, I believe,
38:04
Speaker 8: actually since Woodrow Wilson so in about a century to
38:06
Speaker 8: physically stay in Washington, and we all know that he
38:09
Speaker 8: was in and out of the bien White House a
38:11
Speaker 8: couple official meetings, probably a lot more unofficial meetings. Frankly,
38:15
Speaker 8: is I am personal opinion that Barack Obama was actually
38:17
Speaker 8: pulling all the strings Frankly during the fact, during the
38:20
Speaker 8: Bien Harris regime where we had a mental patient running
38:23
Speaker 8: the country reportedly in name only for four years there.
38:26
Speaker 8: But even more so than physical approximity to the White House,
38:29
Speaker 8: Barack Obama is just a ubiquitous presidence here when it
38:31
Speaker 8: comes to our media cycle, when it comes to our campaigns.
38:34
Speaker 8: He was there in the DNC in Chicago. He uses
38:36
Speaker 8: the number, he was the number one campaign surrogate, and
38:38
Speaker 8: all the swing STAPs was constant George or you name
38:41
Speaker 8: it there for the Harris Walls taken in twenty twenty four.
38:44
Speaker 8: And now he's doing the rounds of scene in covert there.
38:45
Speaker 8: So the guy just won't go away. And this is
38:48
Speaker 8: despite the facts redo that we now know that he's admitted.
38:52
Speaker 8: Barack Obama's admitted that his constant politicking is causing quote
38:56
Speaker 8: genuine tension in his marriage to Michelle. And by the way,
39:00
Speaker 8: I might add, I don't think it's helping his party
39:02
Speaker 8: very much. As I mentioned, Barack Obama was the number
39:04
Speaker 8: one campaign surrogate for the Harris Wall's ticket in twenty
39:07
Speaker 8: twenty four. What did that do for the Harrows Walls ticket.
39:10
Speaker 8: Not a whole lot. Frankly, they lost every single major
39:12
Speaker 8: swings day. They lost all seven key toss up swing days,
39:16
Speaker 8: literally all seven. Trump went seven for seven. So that
39:20
Speaker 8: gets back to our question, why is he still here?
39:22
Speaker 8: Why is doing this? And frankly, rita, I go back
39:25
Speaker 8: to a personal anecdote. So, Barack Obama taught constitutional law
39:28
Speaker 8: for about twelve years at at my poor lawschool. I
39:30
Speaker 8: be herrided to Chicago laschool. He predated me, although his
39:33
Speaker 8: portoy still hangs there, unfortunately, still in the class in
39:36
Speaker 8: the law school classrooms today. So I remember when I
39:38
Speaker 8: was there, it's about a decade ago. I remember asking
39:40
Speaker 8: a senior member of the faculty who interacted with Obama there,
39:44
Speaker 8: and I basically said, I'm kind of cure, professor, how
39:47
Speaker 8: was this guy like so you guys enjoyed him? Was
39:49
Speaker 8: he a positive, contributing member of the faculty. And the
39:51
Speaker 8: professor did not mince words. He said no, because he
39:55
Speaker 8: did not contribute to the collegial atmosphere there. He was
39:57
Speaker 8: much more interested frankly, in and what he had to
40:00
Speaker 8: say than what anyone else had to say. And I said, Aha,
40:03
Speaker 8: that gives where the entire game. That's who Barack Obama is.
40:06
Speaker 8: Barack Obama Riada is a deeply, deeply arrogant, heubristic man
40:10
Speaker 8: who thinks that his you know what smells better than
40:13
Speaker 8: everyone else's you know what. And frankly, I think that
40:15
Speaker 8: is the lp reason why he is just out there,
40:16
Speaker 8: because he genuinely believes that what he has to say
40:20
Speaker 8: is just much more valuable than anyone else there. And ultimately, reader,
40:24
Speaker 8: what I say is, Dude, if you're not gonna give
40:27
Speaker 8: us up for the sake of your own party, because
40:29
Speaker 8: apparently it's really not helping your party, can you at
40:31
Speaker 8: least listen to your wife who was like apparently telling
40:34
Speaker 8: you to stop this there. But again, these these egos, Reader,
40:38
Speaker 8: these are these are massive superslids that were talk about here.
40:40
Speaker 10: When it comes to Barack.
40:41
Speaker 3: Obama and Josh, he's again guilty of projection because it
40:45
Speaker 3: continuously accuses the current Trump administration of weaponizing the FBI
40:52
Speaker 3: and government institutions, which is what he did. He weaponized
40:56
Speaker 3: those institutions to go after his ideological opponents. Josh Hammah,
41:00
Speaker 3: thank you so much for your time.
41:02
Speaker 5: I was a pleasure to thank you.
41:03
Speaker 3: Stil to come all the latest entertainment and royal news,
41:07
Speaker 3: including reports that Sarah Ferguson had a secret relationship with
41:11
Speaker 3: Sean P. Diddy Combs. Kinsey Schofield is next welcome back.
41:27
Speaker 3: Joining me now is the host of the Kinsey Schofield
41:30
Speaker 3: Unfiltered podcast. Kinsey Schofield. Let's start with a shocking story
41:35
Speaker 3: where it's been alleged that Sarah Ferguson had a secret
41:39
Speaker 3: friends with benefits relationship with former entertainment mogul Sean Diddy Combs,
41:44
Speaker 3: more commonly known as P Diddy. A former employee at
41:47
Speaker 3: P Didy's Bad Boy Records, said the rapper was obsessed
41:51
Speaker 3: with the royal family, bragged about slamming Sarah and once
41:55
Speaker 3: said he could not wait until Fergie's daughters came of
42:00
Speaker 3: can this story is just a gross on so many levels.
42:05
Speaker 14: The definition of bumping uglies, as you might say, Andrew Lowney,
42:11
Speaker 14: this is Andrew Lowney's exclusive and he says he has
42:13
Speaker 14: two different sources that say that this whatever happened. Look,
42:19
Speaker 14: if these allegations are true, they're deeply disturbing, especially the
42:22
Speaker 14: comments reportedly made about Beatrice and Eugenie. But Diddy being
42:26
Speaker 14: obsessed with Royalty is a story that has circulated four years.
42:30
Speaker 14: That's why he's pictured with King Charles's sons and was
42:33
Speaker 14: desperate to meet Queen Elizabeth.
42:36
Speaker 10: I mean, I guess Fergie will do if you're a
42:38
Speaker 10: Royal groupie.
42:40
Speaker 14: But the story reads like a fever dream of early
42:42
Speaker 14: two thousands excess. But the darker undertones are what makes
42:46
Speaker 14: it so upsetting.
42:49
Speaker 3: And it's we're talking about darker undertones. It's also reported
42:52
Speaker 3: that p did he first met Fergie at a party
42:55
Speaker 3: hosted by Jeffrey Epstein's associate Gilain Maxwell back in two
43:00
Speaker 3: thousand and two, and their truce started a couple of
43:03
Speaker 3: years of later in two thousand and four. Wait further
43:07
Speaker 3: updates on that story. Now sticking with the Royals, a
43:10
Speaker 3: new book has exposed how Kate Middleton was the very
43:13
Speaker 3: first member of the royal family to cut off the
43:15
Speaker 3: disgraced former Prince Andrew. A new biography on Kate has
43:20
Speaker 3: detailed that the Princess of Wales refused to speak to
43:22
Speaker 3: Andrew of family functions and during holidays, while she also
43:26
Speaker 3: banned him from attending her Christmas concert at Westminster, Abby Kinsey.
43:31
Speaker 3: It's quite a bold move from Kate, Andrew was a
43:34
Speaker 3: prince at the time.
43:36
Speaker 10: Can you blame her?
43:37
Speaker 14: Though Princess Catherine understood the reputational risk before much of
43:42
Speaker 14: the family did. If this allegation is true, this shows
43:46
Speaker 14: she has stronger instincts and firmer boundaries than people often
43:50
Speaker 14: give her credit for. Andrew had become radioactive, and she
43:55
Speaker 14: clearly recognized that.
43:57
Speaker 10: I really admire her for it.
44:01
Speaker 3: Now, let's talk about former MSNBC host Joy Reid, who's
44:05
Speaker 3: been blasted for her out of touch comments after she
44:08
Speaker 3: cried about having a professional hair and makeup team early
44:12
Speaker 3: in her career. Speaking at an event over the weekend,
44:15
Speaker 3: Reid said, I walked into a media world that did
44:19
Speaker 3: not see me. I was being damaged. Not only was
44:21
Speaker 3: my image less than it should have been, I was
44:25
Speaker 3: spending so much money to repair the damage that was
44:28
Speaker 3: being done to my hair, my face, my body by
44:30
Speaker 3: people who did not know, she said. She also added,
44:34
Speaker 3: there were no black hair and makeup people in the
44:37
Speaker 3: studio at MSNBC, not one. And over time, thank god,
44:41
Speaker 3: I actually was good at my job and I developed
44:44
Speaker 3: enough authority to be able to curate my own hair
44:48
Speaker 3: and makeup team. Oh Kinsey crime, What a ridiculous, ridiculous woman.
44:55
Speaker 2: She is.
44:57
Speaker 10: Emotionally unraveling over perf.
45:00
Speaker 14: Professional hair and makeup is probably not going to resonate
45:03
Speaker 14: with viewers working two jobs. I mean, champagne problems. I've
45:08
Speaker 14: been doing my own hair and makeup for twenty years
45:11
Speaker 14: and had to deal with plenty of hurtful feedback due
45:14
Speaker 14: to that. I'm sorry, but I don't have time for
45:17
Speaker 14: this perpetual victim.
45:21
Speaker 3: No, she had professional hair and makeup, but they weren't
45:25
Speaker 3: the ethnicity that she wanted, so they did eventually allow
45:29
Speaker 3: her to curate her own hair and makeup team, as
45:32
Speaker 3: she put it, And even that isn't apparently good enough
45:35
Speaker 3: for her because it's still crying about it. Imagine how
45:38
Speaker 3: few issues you must have to deal with in life
45:40
Speaker 3: to be still upset about that now. Musician Billie Eilis
45:45
Speaker 3: shall remember her no human is illegal on stolen Land.
45:49
Speaker 3: That one, well, she's come under fire for this hot take.
45:53
Speaker 3: What's one?
45:54
Speaker 12: Hell you die on?
45:55
Speaker 10: Y'all not gonna like me for this one?
45:57
Speaker 15: Eating meat is inherently wrong and the other thing is
46:01
Speaker 15: two things cannot coincide. I love animals, I love all
46:06
Speaker 15: animals so much, and I eat it. You just they're
46:08
Speaker 15: just you can't do both.
46:09
Speaker 10: Sorry, you can eat meat go for it.
46:12
Speaker 3: You can love animals, but you can't do both, Kinsey,
46:18
Speaker 3: She's copped a lot of flak for that. I'm going
46:22
Speaker 3: to surprise you by actually sticking up for her. Though
46:25
Speaker 3: I'm far from a vegan. Barbecue is literally my favorite food.
46:30
Speaker 3: I think at least there she's not being an absolute hypocrite.
46:34
Speaker 3: She is preaching how she lives. She doesn't eat meat
46:37
Speaker 3: because she loves animals, and I think if you're at
46:40
Speaker 3: least consistent in your behavior and what you preach, then
46:44
Speaker 3: I'm not going to have a go at you. Even
46:46
Speaker 3: if I disagree.
46:48
Speaker 10: I will.
46:49
Speaker 16: It's easy to moralize about food choices when you're wealthy.
46:54
Speaker 16: For a lot of families, eating options are based on budget,
46:58
Speaker 16: not idealized, you know, I ideal ideology.
47:03
Speaker 10: Yeah, thank god, no, thank god you said that.
47:06
Speaker 14: Billie Eilish has reached that stage of celebrity where she
47:10
Speaker 14: mistiques personal opinion for universal moral authority.
47:14
Speaker 10: I think, and she says things.
47:15
Speaker 14: Without considering how disconnected they sound to ordinary people. There
47:20
Speaker 14: are people that have puppies and they love their puppies,
47:22
Speaker 14: but all they can for is hamburger helper, and that's
47:25
Speaker 14: just a fact.
47:27
Speaker 3: Mm hmm that's true. And you know what, we're built
47:30
Speaker 3: to eat meat. That's I will die on that hill.
47:33
Speaker 3: We were supposed to have rich sources of protein. Now, let's
47:37
Speaker 3: talk about Katie Perry. She is having all sorts of issues,
47:40
Speaker 3: and it's a lot of legal fights as well. It's
47:43
Speaker 3: been revealed that Perry and her team are forcing a
47:46
Speaker 3: disabled Army veteran to cough up five million dollars to
47:50
Speaker 3: pay for her legal fees. This all stems from a
47:54
Speaker 3: long drawn out legal battle between Perry and veteran Carl Westercott,
47:59
Speaker 3: who thought to avoid the sale of his California home
48:02
Speaker 3: to Perry back in twenty twenty. He claimed he was
48:05
Speaker 3: under the influence of pain medication and lacked mental capacity.
48:10
Speaker 3: A judge ruled in Perry's favor back in twenty twenty three.
48:14
Speaker 3: Westerncott was forced to pay one point eight million in
48:17
Speaker 3: legal fees, but Kinsey Perry's legal team is now requesting
48:21
Speaker 3: he pay another five million for additional legal fees accrued
48:25
Speaker 3: between twenty twenty and twenty twenty six.
48:29
Speaker 14: You know, reader, even if her team is legally justified,
48:33
Speaker 14: going after a disabled veteran from millions feels brutally tone
48:37
Speaker 14: deaf Winning in court and winning in public opinion are
48:40
Speaker 14: two very different things. And right now Katy Perry is
48:43
Speaker 14: losing the second battle. And you know, our favorite astronaut
48:47
Speaker 14: has been losing a battle for a while. Sexual assault allegations,
48:52
Speaker 14: lame boyfriend, lame dance moves, lame album, lame tour, and
48:56
Speaker 14: now bullying the elderly go away. We literally can can't
49:00
Speaker 14: stand you.
49:00
Speaker 3: Legally, she has really had a full from Grace because
49:06
Speaker 3: she had the cool factor. She was hugely successful and
49:12
Speaker 3: it all sort of fell apart. I don't know if
49:14
Speaker 3: it started with the astronaut thing or that was just
49:17
Speaker 3: the pinnacle of it. But now she's under investigation for
49:21
Speaker 3: these allegations, historic allegations. She's got these legal fights, and
49:26
Speaker 3: she's seen Kinsey as lame. You see clips from her
49:30
Speaker 3: concerts going viral, and they're never complimentary. They're always showing
49:34
Speaker 3: her doing some really unco dance moves and just struggling
49:38
Speaker 3: on stage.
49:41
Speaker 14: Yeah, and I don't know how she picks herself up
49:43
Speaker 14: from it. My best advice would be the same advice
49:46
Speaker 14: I constantly give Megan Markle.
49:48
Speaker 10: Go away for a little while, allow people to forget.
49:51
Speaker 14: I can't guarantee they'll forgive, but allow some of them
49:55
Speaker 14: to forget some of these hiccups and you might.
49:57
Speaker 10: Get a clean sleep.
49:58
Speaker 14: But Katy Perry, it's fail after fail after fail, and
50:02
Speaker 14: this is a fail. I mean, you can afford to
50:04
Speaker 14: pay your own legal fees. You got the house, you
50:08
Speaker 14: want the house, and.
50:10
Speaker 3: You know what, Don't go to Coachella with Justin Trudeau,
50:13
Speaker 3: who's I don't know, in his fifties and was dressed
50:16
Speaker 3: like a teenager. Just more lameness. Kinsisco Field always a
50:20
Speaker 3: pleasure and that's all the time we have. Don't go anywhere.
50:25
Speaker 3: Nears Night is up next
