The Rita Panahi Show | 8 October

On scoring wuds Australia.

This is the Reader Paney Show.

Good evening and welcome to the Reader Paney Show. Coming up tonight, we look at the absurd ways your tax dollars are being spent at academia. You will not believe some of the lunacy you're paying for. The Kamala Harris

We have long known that Donald Trump has revered the Nazis.

He has revered Hitler, who's read his book?

He used to say, he added on his night.

Stand, Let's look now at how your taxes are being squandered pushing absurd leftist projects thanks to the Australian Research Council. Here just a few of the academic pursuits taxpayers are funding. I could go on all night with these, but we'll just limit it to a handful. More than three point seven million to identify the missing link in global movements of multi species justices using innovative musical approaches to communicate

I don't know anyone.

All of it highly political, not just absurd, but highly political, highly ideological, all in the one direction. If I could find one absurd, one that is absurdly right wing, I would tell you, but I haven't seen one yet.

I think you missed the gender bias for ancient ancient Greek tragedy. That was another one worth half million dollars. I mean that list is straight out of Utopia, isn't it. I mean that any pick any one of those, it's just an episode in fat And you're talking about large amounts of money here, I mean half a million dollars here, half a million dollars there. I think it works out for about twenty million out of ninety three million. That

Every single one reads like a parody. It's almost beyond parody. It's hard to make fun of it. And you're right, half a million here, half a million. There's some of these close to four million. So we're talking about significant grants. And where is the scrutiny, Where is there accountability, Where is any sort of idea that we're getting value for this? What's the actual benefit to the community other than the academics who get to do this absurd research.

Well, the Labor government, in its wisdom I think last year, decided they would treat this at arm's length, so there is no government oversight. And now it's sort of suggesting that some of the coalition ministers over the years had sort of interrupted these very important research projects. So they're sort of saying, well, it's got nothing to do with us, it's separate to us. But it does raise questions about Thistralian Research Council.

Absolutely. I think in the past the minister could step in and veto some of these crazy ideas, but now that power has been removed. Labor very clever because now

The Prime Minister still says that Israel has a right to defend herself.

It's becoming a little bit fascicle. This has been one year of change.

Yes, we see Israel expanding its war, but for the first time in history, we see so many losses, one loss after the other. Loss from the public relations front, loss from the boycott front, loss from international communities, loss from the image of Israel. Is on many fronts, and the victory is coming seat And if.

That second guy seems familiar, that's shake Ibraham Dadoune, who made this proc proclamation shortly after the attacks took place last year.

I'm smiling and unhappy. I'm in It's a day of courage.

How do you see this, Patrick, Is Labour's chances going to be our? Labour's chance is going to be impacted by the Muslim backlash in some seats. I do wonder about that analysis. I know it's been spoken about a lot. I'm not sure if it's accurate because that voter is going to come back to Labor shortly. They're not going to vote for the coalition. And as far as the Greens go yes on this issue, the Greens are far

I think you're right, it is very hard to judge at this point. You look at the seats of say Tony Burke or Jason Clair. I think you've got very significant Muslim populations there. I think it's thirty five percent and twenty seven percent. Against that, they've got margins of

It's quite fascinating to see what I.

Guess there is a chance that could get Independence up with preferences and get them through, so that would there certainly be a threat to those labor MPs. Now, there was also rally in Melbourne pro Palestinian protest marched through the streets. They started their protest near the Shrine of Remembrance before making the way into the CBD. And this despite Patrick really sustained criticism about doing this on October seven.

No, that's right, and look, I think you have seen a hardening against it, so, I mean the Jewish community arts and not to most political leaders asked and not to basically said after yours, we're going to do it anyway. The Retrick is getting angrier you're talking about. It's not just genocide committed by Israel as it's put It's basically a fight against Western value.

This is not about lines on a map anymore.

This is about overthrowing Western culture and Western ideals, and I think it is getting angry.

I'm not sure that they're actually winning any vote.

You've seen the ALP government the last few days harden up a bit finally against anti Semitism.

A lot of these.

Outbursts in the last few days are hopelessly anti Semitic, and I think it is they're not winning people over.

No, I wouldn't have thought so.

Now.

The Australian reports that a prominent Sydney charity leader and self described amazing mate of our new government, General Sam Mouston, has led Sydney's pro Palestine in rallies. The Australian also reports that the Welfare Alliance chief executive officer, that's Vivian Moore.

Yes, Look, look, I can almost feel sorry for the Governor General here. Look they're old mates, going back a long way. I think they worked on charity related things together. Presumably they are friends. But it's not the Governor General's fault. If this Vivian Moore has sort of become very extreme, she's the extreme end of extreme over the last twelve months.

Well, beating her drums.

Yes, and I think it's Israel.

Yeah.

And she's been charged with assaulting a police officer. I mean that is the far end of the process sort of movement. And so in terms of the Governor General, look, and she has distanced herself from it. She said they haven't spoken since she took office. I can feel sorry for her on this one, to be honest, Well.

You're more generous than that. Of course, you can't blame anybody for the actions of their mates. And of course it's not just Australia that's seeing these protests. It's happening throughout the West, including in Canada. Now listen to this, lefty activists say the quiet bit out loud so we see that the fascist newspaper seeing we are here to celebrate the seventh.

The box of them. Look, yes, we are.

Here to celebrate the seven. That's frightening to say that and then to have applause, and to have people not repelled, not objecting to that, just saying it out loud.

Well, to call it a celebration.

This is where you know, Hamas went in and killed twelve hundred innocent people, a lot of them peace loving people. They shot them in the head, they shot them between the legs on purpose. It was biblical in its barbarity. And for anyone, anyone anywhere in the world to say, well, this is a day of celebration is outrageous, appalling, wrong.

Offensive, And I've heard academics argue, well, when we talk about anti colonial sentiment, decolonization, what did you think we meant? It's not pretty. This is what it is. And as appalled as I am by those people's outlook, they're actually telling the truth. This is what they mean by decolonization. So if you that's support this sort of retrick, if you think it's just meaningless motherhood statements, then look at it in practice. It's ugly. As he gets now. Finally,

I don't know.

Is the honesstander you would have thought teachers in the same way police officers and ambos and so on are sort of part of the union ALP sort of collected. We don't have enough police officers, I was reading the other day, we don't have enough teachers, and we're spending more and more money against his debt, which is the highest in the country.

And at the same time.

We've got an opposition who is too busy looking at itself to actually nail this government on about ten to twenty trigger issues that should be in the news every day.

An empty chair could beat just into Alan at the next election, but I don't think John Pursuito can Patrick Carlin. Thank you so much for your time tonight. Thanks joining me now is veteran broadcast to the Queen of the airwaves. We call her Deed dun Levy. Welcome to the program. Let's start with Harry and Meghan and room and surrounding them and their relationship continue to swirl as the couple

I think everyone is actually probably secretly hoping it's a conscious uncoupling. I don't think it is, but I do think it's interesting that this separation, that we're seeing them both doing different events, that they're explaining as one is going to stay home with the children while the other one does stuff. I'm not sure I completely buy that, but it coincides with their worldwide PR head leaving Team Sussex,

I don't know.

I don't In short, I don't think they're getting divorced.

Well, I just do wonder if Meghan is deeply disappointed with how it's all turned out, because she was the most beloved royal for a period. I remember when she was getting married. I was one of the very few go and yeah, I see her at flags everywhere with this one, but I was pretty much alone. People were loving her, they were loving this couple, and it was like she was going to be the next Diana. She was going to be the next Princess Grace of Monaco. And it certainly has a turned out like that.

No, it hasn't. The leopard showed its spots.

I personally have never warmed to her, and there's just a feeling that she's manipulating whatever they do, this feeling that he needs to get away from her, which I.

Think is unfair because the man's forty years old. At some point he's got to be responsible for his own actions. And at the end of the day, he's the one who has again and again thrown his family under the bus. They're his family.

But that's what this could be.

By all accounts, this doing separate things is being comes from him. He's the one saying that perhaps we should separate and do things on different paths or they had a special term.

As those two do for it.

But I think it's coming from him that he's the one that wants a bitter space to do things on his own.

Well, his relationship with his family could not be worse, particularly with William, so that in itself is I guess motivation enough to do things differently from his point.

Of the fact that he was in and just recently doing some charity events and I don't believe he caught up with any members of the family.

That's happened quite often like that's in the UK and the King and his brother have no time for him, and I can understand because he has said terribly painful things towards them, knowing full well they can't respond. They're actually working royals, so they can't have this tit for tat exchange and say well, actually no, that's not true. This is what happened. So it's a free hit and it's just unedifying. But it does give us materials, so we do.

Indeed it does.

And to more divorce rumors are sources of claim that Rappa Carnier West and his Australian wife Biancherson Sorry are headed for a divorce after just two years together. Were they ever properly married? I know that he's always called her his wife, but yeah, what more can you tell me about this one?

Well, there were questions about the marriage, but it was established that it was actually a genuine marriage. So it's around about two years that they've been together.

Please don't let this be.

I mean, haven't they given her some bizarre and entertaining appearances all around the world, But it is, you know, fact is three weeks they haven't been seeing publicly together. He's in Tokyo. She's believed to be here in Australia with her family.

I'm we probably don't recognize her for a sea on the streets because she's got clothes on. Throughout her time with Carnie, he has paraded her around pretty much nude, with just like bits of tape or boots and not much else.

Set again, she's a grown woman and I believe quite an intelligent one two.

One hundred and forty.

So I know, even his fans, if you look at his socials, even his fans are like, what are you doing. You're supposed to be a Christian. She's supposed to be your wife, Like, why are you humiliating her like that.

He's treated her like she's a piece of art's.

Yeah, that's a nice way of putting it.

But I wonder if they, if there is indeed a split here, what has caused it? And I think we can go back to I know you and I have discussed the mansion in malib that they started to renovate.

She's an architect.

That's how he first employed her and why she went to La to work with him and they ended up being married. She was the one walking around that building in charge of the renovations.

It went pear shape. They lost forty million dollars on it.

Could that be the reason that they are not getting along so well?

Well, maybe she just wants to cover her breasts occasionally, which I think, you know, it's good for everybody.

She paid good money for them, and they're natural.

I mean, if no fake, they're the best fakes I've ever seen. They're good. But you know what, I'm all for her being empowered and doing this, but I just feel like it's his project. She's not the one often to dress like that in probably constantly, particularly when he's fully cloth and she's nearly nude.

It's just and We've got no proof of that, but I agree with you, there is a feeling that she's doing what he wants her to do.

Maybe she's decided she's had enough of it.

Absolutely Now. Sean Diddy Comb's eighty three year old mother has spoken out about the allegations against her son. He is facing life in jail. She's said this by her lawyers. She said, it's heartbreaking to see my son judge not for the truth, but for a narrative created out of lies. To bear witness what seems to be like a public lynching of my son before he has had the opportunity to prove his innocence is a pain too unbearable to

Yeah, I'm pretty horrified actually by her comments. The lawyer who's acting for one hundred and twenty aro one hundred and twenty people who are going to bring civil claims against Shawn Combs. He said that they will also go after the enablers. In other words, Shawn Combs didn't organize all of this on his own. He didn't book the hotel rooms, hire the sex workers, by the drugs. People

This is a mother being an enabler.

And what has she said to this young man who's now a grown man all his life. She's letting him get away with things that he's done. She's implied that the girlfriend that came forward and said she had been raped and attacked by Sean Combs, she sort of implied that there was more to the story.

Well, because we have seen, of course, he hasn't been convicted of anything, but we have seen that horrifying footage from the hotel room where he's dragging a woman by the hair, kicking her it looks like, and being quite brutal in his behavior. Did it only be run out of time? Thank you so much for you, Thanks for saving coming up. Left is losing it, plus the Kamala Harris campaign under pressure as she falters in the polls. Welcome back. Now it's time for lefties losing it and

I would say to those Republicans out there who are sitting on the fence, just do it this one time. Do it this one time, vote for the Democrat to save the country. Listen to lose changing when everything goes back to normal, then become a Republican again like h less it will become, and probably.

Listen to Liz Cheney. That's their big sell. So Joy wants Republicans to not back Trump, not back their man in the most consequential election of their lifetime. And she promises that it'll all be back to normal after this, that they won't go on these unhinged tax against future Republican candidates. Only I'm old enough to remember when they called milk toast Mitt Romney a racist, sexist monster. They

We have long known that Donald Trump has revered the Nazis. He has revered Hitler. He's read his book, he used to say, he added on his nightstand.

So what now Donald Trump revers Hitler? He said he has Hitler's book on his nightstand. Trump has never said anything like that. He has, in fact said he's never even read Hitler's book. And let's not forget Trump is the most pro Jewish, most pro Israel president America has ever had. His own daughter is Jewish, as several of his grandchildren. But let's go back to CNN and listen to this woman's view more unhinged lies, unchallenged.

Donald Trump has had a very sinister philosophy, wanting to be a dictator, absolutely dividing people up based on who they are, based on factors about them that have to do with their race in there, et cetera. And when he uses language like this, I don't think that it's a freudy and slip. I think that the danger of a Donald Trump is that he would absolutely try to exterminate an entire group of people because he thinks that

Exterminate a whole group of people that was on CNN folks lost for words. Now, since we're dealing with boldfaced lies, let's hear from Kamala herself and listen to how she flounders when there is the slightest bit of pushback.

The question was, how are you going to pay for it?

Well, one of the things that I'm going to make sure that the richest among us who can afford it, pay their fair share in taxes. It is not right that teachers and nurses and firefighters are paying a higher tax rate than billionaires and the biggest corporations, and I plan on making that fair.

So what now teachers are paying higher tax rates than the super rich? Really? I know this type of simplistic class warfare speaks to the low information voters that the Democrats count on. But the reality is that the rich pay obviously a lot more tax. The top one percent, in fact, pay over forty five percent of all income tax, and the top five percent pay sixty five point six percent of all income tax collected. That's from the twenty twenty one irs starter, So sure they know what they're

Thirty two days since all the election, So thirty two days, thirty two days.

Okay, we got some business to do.

We got some business to do, all right, thirty two days, and we.

Know we will do it.

Amazing stuff from her far was that what we saw from Selena Maya when she faced a similar conundrum.

My fellow Americans, I'd like to begin today whatever we have in store cannot be known, but given time, it can be understood. The past was once the future. The future is, i should say unknown now.

The vape the real one did go to the Call Her Daddy podcast incredibly where she faced idiotic softball question, just lots of about misinformation about abortion. It wasn't much else there, but when she was asked about why she should be trusted, she had this to say, why should we trust you?

So I'll say this, Look, you can look at my career to know what I care about.

Okay, let's do just that. Here is a little of Kamala Harris telling us what she's all about.

Now.

For far too long, the status quote thinking has been to believe that by putting more police on the street, you're gonna have more safety, and that's just wrong.

You're considered the most liberal United States senator.

Somebody said that, and it actually was Mike Pence on the debate stage.

But yeah, well, actually the non partisan GUV track has rated you as the most liberal senator. You supported the Green New Deal, you supported Medicare for all.

Yeah, I am a radical.

If they failed to act as president of the United States, I am prepared to get rid of the filibuster to pass a.

Green New Deal.

I am supporting the Green New Deal.

Raise your handed cover if your government plan would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants.

The idea that we would have a president of the United States that vilifies immigrants, that wants to build what I call his vanity project, a multi billion dollar wall, which by the way, will never get built because we have a president the United States who has created a fiction about a crisis at the border around a vanity project.

Called the wall.

We don't need to build a wall, and by definition does plane speak basic English language definition?

It is not an emergency, is about.

A vanity project for this present rights.

That why I don't stop them about.

Now. I think I understand now why someone went to the trouble of writing this book called The Achievements of Kamala Harris wait for its tourist. You're kidding me. Plenty more lefties losing a content with my next guest, including more on Kamala's car crash sixty minutes interview. But let's hear now from a man who says he has gone from being a lifelong Democrat to voting for Donald Trump. Let's hear why.

Bradley, tell us why you're making the change from the Democrat ticket to President Trump. Mister Trump stated, I'm going to build a wall because I want the people that live here to eat first. Since this new administration has come to the table, my children are lacking, My community is lacking. I see abandoned properties, folks laying on the street, And forgive me, why do we feed folks when we have folks who went overseas, husbled and died in the service of this country.

And they're laying on the streets.

That's unacceptable. If you can house an immigrates with all due respect, how's my children first? These are the people that fought for us. They're laying on the street that they can't get medical assistance because you've given it to someone else. They closed down school, they opened the schools to put migrants in. You could open a school and put my veterans in thereber you could open a school

You've overlooked us joining me nas Newsweek seniors were at large and Article three projects Senior Council Josh Hamma, Josh. They're powerful words right there. But how widespread is that sentiment?

Yeah, yeah, I mean it's not just this particular gentleman. I mean, just over the past twenty four hours, we actually saw a former longtime Democratic congressman by the name of Peter deutchu in an op and explained that he is now endorsing Donald Trump as well. We have now seen rf K Junior, who comes from maybe the most famous Democratic family in all of American politics, because the Kennedy family quite literally as famous as it gets. He

And that sentiment about the Biden Harris administration failing Americans seems to be spreading. If the latest polymarket data is any guide, Kamala Harris has gone from leading to now Trump is leading, and that lead is extending, particularly in recent days, we see a lot of polls, Josh, can be hard to rely on that data because they do change a lot. Tell me how si significant distageries?

You know, I think Donald Trump's gonna win.

I do.

I've been saying it the whole cycle. I have not favored really at all. I mean Donald Trump back in July was looking really, really good. So he had that few weeks stretch after the catastrophic Biden debate. There was the assassination at temp where he came within inches of losing his life on national TV, where all the world sympathy was with him. He reached a high water mark them Now, admittedly the Trump campaign did not pivot as swiftly as it should have to the bloodless coup of

Well, you've got more faith in the system than I do. I just do fear that they're going to fortify another election. Certainly, the media has done everything it can to swing the odds in Kamala Harris's favor that campaigned by the media, and I talk about the bulk of the mainstream media here has been astonishing. I haven't seen anything like it before. Harris has copped I'm going to say some criticism for appearing on the podcast, a fairly raunchy podcast called Call

If you're looking to persuade someone who's not going to vote for you already, then a Democratic candidate who is a rabid supporter of abortion going on and the Call Her Daddy podcast is not exactly a way to persuade over the persuadable middle. You're certainly not going to win over you know, blue collar union workers in the Marcella shale of western Pennsylvania, or the auto workers in Wisconsin or Michigan. You're not going to win over those kind

Well, we played a little clip from Call Her Daddy a previous episode on last night's show, and we had to bleep out approximately seventy to eighty percent of it. It was that filthy. I'm not suggesting it's like that every week. I don't know, I've never heard it, but certainly some of the content that have covered. Wow, it's incredible that her team thought that was a good idea.

Do we have a real clue? Ally in Prime Minister net and Yahoo?

I think, with all due respect, the better question is do we have an important alliance between the American people and the Israeli people?

And the answer to.

That question is yes.

And then she gave this incoherent answer on that same topic.

But it seems that Prime Minister net and Yah, who is not listening.

Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.

Okay, Joshua, what do you make of what you've just heard?

You know, some people are calling this a word salad, reader. The problem is that a sally can at times be quite delicious. I mean, this is more the analogous to a word turd sandwich. Frankly, that is how I would I would just to describe this, you know, read I'm coming to you. I actually came straight from an event that President Trump did on October seventh. I came straight from Trump National Durral, his golf resort in South Florida.

Yeah, her refusal to even try to answer that question. She immediately reframed the question to something she was comfortable answering. I think speaks volumes. Just on Elon Musk quickly. He's sat down for a wide ranging interview with Tucker Carlson, but it was also with Donald Trump in Butler for that rally where Trumper returned to the site of the first assassination attempt. He has really energized the Trump based Elon Musk.

Yeah, he really has, and huge credit to Elon Musk. You know, it's funny with Elon Musk, who is quite literally the wealthiest man in the world gd vans who went to yell laws. Well, Donald Trump's an IVY League man himself, went to you, Patty. What you're starting to see emerge on the Republican side of the aisle here in the United States is what my friend Chris Ruffo

Josh, we are going to have to talk about the counter elite next week because I think that is actually a very interesting phenomenon. Indeed, thank you so much for your time this evening.

Oh it's a pleasure, Thank you so much.

Coming up next, an Australian comic speaks out after having her shows canceled by far left activists. Joining me now is Adelaide based comedian Biddy O Laughlin, who has just had a second comedy show of hers canceled after the Duke of your hotel in Adelaide decided to pull the plug on her gig. You've said that you are being targeted for your beliefs, in particular relating to gender identity and women's rights. Tell us a bit more about what led to your show being canceled.

Well, I was performing regularly at a comedy gig called the Cranker Comedy, which was at a pub called the Crown and Anchor nicknamed the Cranker, and it was the only place where I hadn't been censored, so I did pull out my trans gags, and the staff there quite woke, and they eventually just complained enough to management at the management asked the guy who ran the fortnightly gig not

Activists.

Well, tell me about that, because it is typically a very small number activists, but they can be very impactful because they phone, they email, they put social media posts up. They might even do reviews of function centers, pubs that are critical and the venues that management can get spooked very easily and submit to this sort of woke idiocy. Has that been your experience that a small number of people are exercising disproportionate power.

Definitely, And they scared the Duke of York, who I feel sorry for because they're struggling business. You know, everybody's struggling, and they were scared by these activists who said that the Duke might have contravened South Australian law and have threatened the Duke of York with you know, I don't think legal action, but they said you might have contravened South Australian law, which spooks them enough to cancel my show.

And yet we've got the most popular comedians in the world right now, the ones who can't be canceled because they're too big, they're too popular, the likes of Dave Chappelle, Ricky Gervais, Theovon, the ones who do the world tours. Their content is far more controversial, if you will, than anything you've said. But if you're a smaller comic making your way, these activists can really frustrate your career. They can end your career, can't.

They absolutely like, I can't prove all the things I've lost and all the gigs I haven't got, but I've definitely definitely suffered for speaking up about women's rights, and they do. They get the little guys.

And your views, I would argue, aren't particularly controversial from what I can work out. So you believe in the fact that women are women and men are men, and women's rights should not be overruled by trans rights. Am I summing up basically what your point of view is and what's really upsetting the activists?

Yeah, exactly. I think a woman as an adult human female and that we should have our sex based rights secured in law basically.

And finally, Biddy, what's next for you? Are you you got another venue in mind? Is there a way you can counter the activists and perform?

Yeah? So a venue has reached out to me with all of the media, you know, heat and stuff, so they've a venue has reached out to give me a space to perform my show. And I don't need to advertise it because everybody it was sold out. I just emailed them, so the venue is pretty safe. But they don't mind if I do it anyway. But I'm also doing a fundraiser show on the night that I was supposed to do The Crank of Comedy, and that's at

Video Lachlan. How bizarre to have comedy shows with secret locations to hide them from the activist class. Not an absurd time to be alive. Thank you so much for your time tonight. That's it from May. I'll see you at eleven tomorrow. Up next is Newsnight.
