In an election that will determine the fate of the entire universe, there's only one podcast holding politicians accountable. Scott Morrison, Anthony Albanese, who will move? Find out on The Chaser Report, election edition. Hello and welcome to the election edition of The Chaser Report. It's Thursday the 19th of May, two days to go until election. today, I'm Dom Knight. Hello, Charles Firth, and hello, Chas Lichidelo. Hello, hello. Something amazing happened yesterday afternoon.

The most surprising, unexpected and frankly, entertaining moment of the election, Scott Morrison knocked over a child while playing soccer. It wasn't policy. It was romantic for the child, I think, getting a, however many kilos the PM ways, whacking on it. But the consequences were profound, Chazzy. They really were, because that was the worst possible thing that Scott Morrison could do to a child to land on them.

I mean, if he punched him, they would be okay. That wouldn't have hurt. But Scott Morrison landing on him, oh my God. But luckily, just crushed him. Scott Morrison hasn't landed anything for the last three years. Well, what he'd managed to do, and this is the thing that surprised me most of all, I saw the cover of the tell you this morning. You're not going to believe this.

It doesn't have a hit piece on elbow. Oh, yes. Two days out, what? That's a proper foul, isn't it? Yeah, it bumped, this bumped, um, it bumped elbow off. Huge mistake. You're not going to believe this. They've actually got a decent pun.

Yeah, what's the pun? Gomo's small target strategy. Oh, see what that is there? But it's not a hit piece on elbows. That's good. It's a fail by the PM. That is a real two-for-one pigs might fly. Because number one, you've got the telegraph running anti-PM.

But secondly, you've also got Australians taking an interest in politics for like five seconds. Admittedly, I think they're interested in the sport, ain't. Yeah, that's true. Well, actually, is it going to win voters for Scott Morrison? I mean, tough on kids. I saw it, and I thought, yeah, I hate kids. Yeah, I support the Prime Minister now. Yeah, but very relatable.

Who hasn't seen one of those under seven soccer games and wanted to go up and punch one of the kids in the face? They're fuck with. And if you're going for West and Sydney, bring back the beef. They love us. Yes, exactly. Well, H.G. Nelson was all over this this morning on Twitter. I mean, there was once a.

a soccer game many years ago with some members of the Chaser group and we were playing at Bronte Beach and a kid was involved and some accused me of getting a little bit physical and the tackles. Yeah, I still wish I thump that kid. I'd tell you what though, like, because I had assumed that Scott Morrison didn't know how to tackle anything because he hasn't done it with climate change and he hasn't done it with you know wages and he hasn't done it with you know integrity but he has he has the ability to tackle him i love the way charles keeps trying to steer this towards political satire you're so noble charles you really are i'm sorry mate scott morrison just thumped the kid that's got nothing to do a political

satire although that said just keep an eye out for the for the news headlines because by the close of business today you can't tell me albo's not going to knock a kid over as well Now, the Coalition's been suggesting for weeks that things won't be easy under Albanese. Chaz is going to take a look at that claim, aren't you, Chaz? I certainly am. And we're going to talk to Joe Dyer, who's running in the seat of Boothby, as one of those community independence. And that's a tight race, so it'll be interesting to see how she's planning to stuff it up over the next couple of days. And the final stage of our cruel experiment to make John Delmenico watch Sky News throughout election 2020.

First, though, it's Charles's wrap. This is the wrap for Thursday the 19th of May. The unemployment rate has plummeted to record lows today, raising fears that the unemployment rate amongst government front benches will remain low even after this Saturday. But Education Minister Stuart Robert has taken the lead from Scott Morrison and announced that it's not his job to do the things that are exactly his job to do. Speaking to Patricia Carvellous on Radio National this morning,

He was challenged about the whereabouts of missing family values crusader and philandering minister Alan Tudge. But after a bit of a pause, Stuart Robert said it was not his job to know what's going on with the guy that he's filling in for. It's not my job to look for members of parliament. The senior government minister also didn't accept that Morrison was to blame for shoulder charging a kid in a soccer game yesterday, saying both sides were to blame. little boy. I think it was pretty good. There was a high five afterwards. So it was just an error

from both of them. Robert called on the boy to apologise to the Prime Minister for getting in the way of Morrison's shoulder. Aged care homes don't have to spend the money that they were given to spend on food, on food, under a scheme designed by the Morrison government. The scheme was set up after a raw commission found that pretty much the entire industry was run by untrustworthy, shonky operators. But yesterday, the age care minister admitted that the scheme contained no requirement to spend the food money on food, instead trusting the shonky operators to suddenly start being honest with all the free money that they were being given. And finally, the Labor Party has released its costings today with the promise that much of its savings can be made in stopping

government schemes that hand free cash to shonky operators without any strings attached. Don't know where they got that idea from. That's the wrap for Thursday the 19th of May. Two days to go. Almost there. Back in a sec. The Chaser Report. Election edition.

Now, guys, the question which most people are asking going into the election, this is the biggest question of all these. Tell me how is it not going to be easy under Albanese? Because all day and all night we're hearing this bloody ad. There's a hole in your budget. Dear Labor, dear Labor can't say how they pay for billions in extra spending. That means more taxes are coming. More taxes with Labor. It won't be easy under Albanesee. Authorised by Aho's Liberal Canberra. Okay. All right. We get it. You've destroyed our childhood. Thank you very much, Liberal Party. But when you say it won't be easy under Albanesey, what won't be easy under Albanyi?

What is it? This is the question everyone's asking, so you want to know before you vote. And what I always wondered with that is, why didn't Labor just respond with, it'll be easy under Albanesee? It's actually more of a stretch to say it's not easy. Too easy, Albanesey. You make a fair point, but Charles, that would suggest that Labor would have. some kind of clever quick response unit putting out viral responses

with wit and a little bit of attitude which is clearly they don't. Honestly, as long as that is a nursery rhyme, I don't care. Like, I'm sick of that song. We said in a previous Chaz segment that the whole of Labor spent several days trying to make the notion of triple whammy catch on,

which was a shit reference in the 80s when it comes from. Yes, it was, yeah. But anyway, the question is, what are they talking about? Because if they can spend that much money, we need to know what they're talking about. What is it?

So I did the research. I broke into the Liberal Party headquarters. I actually dug up a Manila folder. They had buried under a desk about all the things that won't be easy under Albanese. This is Watergate style. This is huge. This is massive guys. It's very bravely to go near a coalition on desk.

So this is the list of the things that won't be easy if Albanese should win government. Okay. Number one, it will not be easy with people that own boats. Okay, it could be the worst non-cracken time period in history to own a boat, okay? Because you just know, the moment he loses the election, Peter Dutton is heading for the high seas. He's going to have his little private dinky, you have a little love boat Captain Hat. He's going to be sailing everywhere surveilling the entire coast for any boat that he can beat up. It's going to be, if you have a boat, I don't care what kind of boat.

I don't care if it's a life raft. I don't care if it's one of those little paddle boats from a fun park where you pedal with your feet, You are going to be questioned by Peter Dutton, and that will not be easy. Yes. Because he's a scary man. Okay, so number one. Okay.

Number two, Chinese restaurants in Canberra. It will not be easy for them. Because for the last 30 years, Chinese restaurants have basically paid the bills by union honchos and Labour Party apparatchiks doing the numbers in their restaurants at these boozy dinners, right? They can't do it anymore because the coalition are going to try and make a thing out of China for the next three years.

Oh, so they're going to have to go to a Ukrainian restaurant. So Chinese restaurants right across Canberra closing down. The moment elbow, it won't be easy. It won't be easy, Charles. No, it will not. Jason Clare. Now, the moment Labor takes government, you know he's going to have journalists, especially from the Australian, sifting through his garbage,

going through his underwear drawer, stalking his Facebook friends, looking for any sign that they can spin, that he's going to be challenging the prime minister's ship. You just know it. You remember how they were really nice? The Conservatives were really nice to Julie Gillard when Kevin Rund won one back in 2007 because they knew it was coming.

They're just as nice to Jason Clare now. Although to be fair, to be fair, Chazzy, he's clearly going to challenge. So there's not going to be smoke with that. He's from Labor. Of course he's challenging. That is true. Anyway, it's not going to be easy for him.

They're going to be all over him. And I should just say, leadership turmoil is about to be negative again. For the last three years, It is, hasn't been a problem. All right, six years, not a problem. It's about to be a problem again. And switching Prime Ministers every three years or so.

Yeah, that's going to be bad news again. That's right, that's right. Okay, Deputy P.M. Barbie Joyce, it will not be easy for him. First of all, he'd have a lot more spare time. We know what he does in his spare time. So it could be costly. But secondly, he's going to have to undertake some serious speech therapy, some elocution lessons, something in order to learn how to pronounce the new prime

minister's name, okay? Because I don't know what was wrong of this guy. Albaise has been around for, what, 25 years now? Yes. All right. Everyone pronounces his name right, except for Barnaby, who says this. Possibly Mr. Albinase. Mr. Albinase.

Mr. Albinase, more popular than Mr. Albinase. But that might be because he pronounces easy, A's. Right? Maybe. So he just thinks it rhymes with, it won't be A's under Albinet. Or maybe he's got a long-term plan to undermine Albao by making us think of mayonnaise. if we think of Alba. Well, that's the other thing.

That's the other thing. He clearly hasn't seen the, it won't be easy as the Albanese ads for his own party, which means, I don't know, he's been on another planet or something. I think that this guy's going to need electrodes. I think it's definitely not going to be easy for Barbie choice, whatever's going to happen. Do you think he's doing it to irritate? Well, actually, actually, on a serious note for a second, not that these aren't all very serious, but on a serious note,

Lachlan actually, when I asked him to find to just go to Barnaby press conference to put them together, he found something. really interesting. This is from January this year. That's what they call Albanese politics. So he does know how to pronounce it. So he used to say it right,

and now he doesn't. Right. Even though the entire liberal strategy is around his name. So, which is really, so maybe he's got a brain tumour or something. No, he's just a maverick. But as soon as they decided easy,

Albanyi, he was like, no. Yes. Albinase. He's albinase. It's very weird stuff. Anyway, whatever the reason, it won't be easy for Barbie Joyce. Women's rugby league teams.

It's not going to be easy for them. I'll tell you why. We've talked about the tackle already. Now, clearly Scott Morrison's feeling the pressure, lashing out, taking out on 12-year-olds playing soccer. Clearly. So what happens if he loses? Oh, are you thinking he goes to the sharks?

Well, my mind flits back to Catherine Deves and her obsession with men declaring themselves transgender and then competing women's sport. Right. This is something that doesn't happen in the real world. But Scott Morrison thinks that that's a very reasonable concern. He said, right? Now, I think to myself, could there be some projection going on there?

Maybe Scott Morrison has the intention to declare himself transgender and then go in a women's rugby league team and just take them all out. Yes, and that what happened yesterday, he was practising. Exactly. Yes. It will not be easy, Charles. It will not be easy. I'm pretty confident the average female rugby league player could take out Morrison.

I think he's got to get into it the under 12s. Probably. It might not be easy for him. Election News You Can't Trust The Chaser Report Now Charles, the Chaser Report During the course of the campaign Has become the place that independent candidates go

I don't know why they come to others They've got campaigns to win And yet they're talking to our podcast Maybe because we asked We've got a highly influential Vast audience We were told by ACAST yesterday Who distributed our podcast

That our reach of our podcast has just exploded during this election. Yeah, there are many thousands of people listening to the podcast every single day, but divide that by 151 seats. And it's probably a few dozen who are voting for each independent. Nevertheless, we have someone who's in a really fascinating race. Today, Joe Dyer is written for our sister publication, The Shot, by the way, on a few occasions and formerly ran Adelaide Riders' Week.

She is running in the seat of Boothby in Adelaide, and she joins us now. Thank you for having me back, too, in six months. I'm feeling very privileged. So how's it going down in Boothby? Look, Boothby feels like it's sort of the epicentre of the electoral universe. You drive up and down the main roads here, and there are just core flute forests everywhere.

Initially, they were just the major parties, but as the campaign has gone on, and we've had more of our kind of loopy right-wing nut jobs join the campaign, there's now any number of smaller parties, the proliferation has been profound. Who's the strangest candidate running when you say there's some weirdos? Yeah, no, look, there are. So we've got 10 candidates running in Busby, and five of them, I would say,

on the fringes, let's put it politely. The strangest candidate is my fellow independent Paul Bacetyl. Look, I didn't realize quite how strange he was. I did cast my eye over some of his policy platforms early on, just because I thought, oh, fellow independent. Perhaps we could have some synergies or sympathico, but no. And he is one of the people who think that the proliferation of abortion is mainly so that the aborted fetuses can be harvested for body parts and then trafficked.

So not your first preference on your how-de-vote. No. So there was a bit of a debate internally. of the campaign as to which of the five more extreme candidates would be last. And who did you end up with? One Nation is actually last on all of the tickets of the four. Initially, there were the four candidates that we, that travelled around doing the travelling road show of the candidates forum.

So that was Louise Miller-Foss from Labor, Rachel Swift from Liberal, or Jeremy Cart from the Greens and me, we were the first three, the first four, rather, and the first four of us were just us. But then as the campaign went on, there were others that were included, and that's where you started to learn a little bit more about your fellow nominees. I'm looking at the list here, Joe, on the ABC website. They've got all the 10 candidates. And I've been bemused by the Australian Federation Party, who is running in your seat.

Are they in favour of Federation because I've got some news for them? I think it's been achieved. I'm not quite sure what their all-arching agenda is because, yes, you would have thought they've come a few years too late for that main policy objective, but they describe themselves as the newest emerging major party, so they see themselves as on the rise, shall we say. Well, I suppose they're talking about them more than we would have been a few years ago when they didn't exist. Well, this is the thing.

They're running in 60 seats, but by next year. year, next election they hope to be running in all of the electorates. That's what we've been advised. They take the prize for the most obstreperous candidate, not actually the candidate running in Boothby, because sadly, he had a heart attack relatively recently, but he has recovered. But then I'm quite sure if he was in Melbourne for treatment of some sort for said heart attack, but then as he was driving back from Melbourne to Adelaide, his wife went into Labour on the side of the road.

So he's had a few days off to recover from that. So we haven't actually seen him. He's been represented by apparently the state director of the Federation Party. Flattering for the voters of Boothby. Their Senate candidate is this really obstreperous woman who strides around and accuses everyone of having damaged her core flutes. At each of the pre-polling booths, whenever she appears, pretty much everybody runs for cover.

That has been a bonding experience, even with the liberals. Everyone gets very angry about the core flutes. Do they actually make any different? Has anyone ever gone, oh, look, I don't know who to vote for it. Oh, I like their core flute. I'm voting for them. I don't think it's that. But what I will say for independents who don't have any brand or name recognition,

at the start of a campaign, they do trigger some curiosity. So I actually had some mates down here in Adelaide with whom I worked on my first feature film, Lucky Miles, available now on iTunes or Apple, I believe. And he didn't know that I was running until he saw my mug smiling down. So personal friends get the heads up from Cor Flute. Yes, that's useful. But no, actually, because we've had a very stylish core flute, I will say, that was designed coincidentally by the writer-director of Lucky Miles for me,

who did my logo, Michael Rowland. So is your campaign basically plugging your movie? No, no, no, no. No, that's just happened twice in the last minute. And that's the first time. And I imagine probably the last time that will happen. But they are quite distinctive, and they have actually triggered people

to go to the website and try and work out who the starlish purple lady is, I was described by one of the children of my volunteers. I'm just looking at it now. It's not teal. It's not teal, yeah. I was going to ask you about that. Are you not, I thought you were a teal.

No, I'm fuchsia. So I just didn't think teal was distinctive enough. And the reality is, is that when you trawl through all of the various political parties, like most of the bright colours have been taken, whether, you know, green, blue, yellow, red, orange, all of these were already gone. So I thought, well, you want something that really will stand out. And I've got to say, the hot pink has been absolutely winning choice. you can see one of my supporters from literally, you know, a kilometre away. And the van, the hot pink van, that has been my single biggest best investment.

Are you going to keep it no matter what happens? I'm actually thinking how awkward it's going to be even to drive it to the place to get the skin stripped off next week. If I am not catapulted to greatness and to Parliament, it's going to be slightly sheepish drive, I think. So are you going to win? Do you know there are any polls? I know this is going out this afternoon. So my response to that will be, we're expecting to be competitive on election day. But there are many ways that you can measure success in a campaign like this.

And what I will say, though, is there's absolutely no doubt that we've had a big impact on the campaign itself and what everybody else's had to do. And we've spiced things up. Like we've had a lot of fun. And we've kind of kept everybody. on their toes. It does depend how you measure success, does it? Because clearly the Federation Party's just going on the basis of how many

core flutes remain intact by the end of the campaign. Well, I think I'll measure success by, let's put it this way. I would certainly consider the campaign to be a failure if I don't get more first preference votes than the Federation Party. You sound buoyant and upbeat despite having campaign for months at this. And I'm fascinated to find out how jaded you feel about it would come Sunday or Monday. but it's great that you aren't completely exhausted at this stage and that you're actually going out with a core flute

and shaking it around to attract voter interest. I absolutely am. I think I'm running probably on adrenaline and a few bits of, a few bowls of cauliflower cheese alone. All right, there you go. That's exclusive. Joe Dyer powered by cauliflower cheese. Thanks for joining us, Joe.

Thank you very much for having me. I really appreciate it. All the best for Election Day. since before it was called The Chaser Report. John, I just want to begin this segment by saying I'm really sorry to watch so much Sky News. What are you talking about? It's been all right.

It's gotten better near the end. I've gotten okay with it. John, I watch Sky News as well. It's not all right. Yeah, but you are Sky News daytime. I'm watching Sky News after dark. Oh, okay. That's better?

It's different. So I knew coming into this based on four weeks of doing this segment that Charles and Dom would probably want to throw to me in some sort of down. and sad mood. So I've actually got an introduction thanks to Paul Murray. John, good-day mate, nice to see you.

Much better mood going into a podcast recording, guys. I don't know why you're so downer. And Charles, I'll listen to the Trump interview with Piers Morgan, and I noticed something about you. What? I know Charles pretty well. I like Charles. I mean, he's funny, smart, quick.

Oh, well, you know, I've got a fan in Trump. You've been keeping on your hat, Charles? Well, we chat occasionally. I let him win at golf, you know. I don't trust a word, Donald Trump says. And of course, Dom, I've got something for you from Paul Murray. Dom, you bitch virgin. Was that edited by your chance, John?

I slightly edited that from different things he said on air. Thanks, John. I wonder if I'll be able to find one as a comeback that has a John in it. I think I will. No, but in serious note, though, for the first five weeks of the election, I was a bit anti-Sky news. But going into the sixth week, I started understanding that there is a purpose to it.

Like, most journalists would not ask questions like this one from Chris Kenny. Have you ever eaten a banana with a knife and fork, Justin? No, mate I... No one else has asked people at. Like, you don't see that son of stuff on the other journalists. They're all the fake news journalists. Lee Sales never asks those important questions. You want to know why the ABC doesn't get a debate?

That's why. That's why. Yes. And Sky News doesn't. just have good questions, their guests have good solutions to issues. Matt Canavan, he solved Russia. What? We should be trying to find ways to increase coal production because it's the best way to fight Vladimir Putin. Right. So we're going to throw coal at him? The coal catapult. Every solution that Matt Canavan has involves increasing coal production. I believe that's his

global warming solution as well. Well, he did, he did announce today that he caught himself a hopeless romantically has taken his wife to 17 coal mines in four days. And that is the kind of person that Sky News gets on almost every single night. He has been on the show almost every single night. Catherine Deves, especially in the later end, has been on quite regularly. She's going to be on their election rap. And I'm starting to realize that I'm learning real stuff from Sky News and they've been right all along.

So like Corey Bernardi, a former senator, I've got a quiz for you guys, which of these three things is not a theory that he has pushed. A, Nick Curios is a union thug trying to take down Domperite. B, lefty teachers are burning baby fetuses to make clean energy. Or C, vampires are real. Oh, it's hard, isn't it? They all sound very plausible on Sky News. I'm going to say he didn't say vampires are real because he wants to hide the truth. All right, let's see which one of you three is correct. Years ago when people said there were vampires inhabiting Hollywood, they were blood drinkers, well, there you go.

Someone who says, we can save the planet by burning aborted children for electricity. And then you've got a whole bunch of these weirdos that are just getting into it and saying, yeah, yeah, let's go along with it. These are the people that are teaching your children. So Nick Kiwi asked hashtag Union Thug has been dispatched by the Teachers Federation

to take out the New South Wales Premier. Yeah, Nick Chirik question. Trick question. Oh, I say, yeah, heal the brand. Yeah, so I'm learning so much, like no one would have even thought to say that vampires are real on the news. But when you have a former politician in Cory Bernardi, nowhere else are saying that. And like, I didn't see them the ABC. I didn't see it on Channel 9.

I just want to find one of those teachers who wants to burn fetuses for energy to teach my children because I want them to have a broader education. Like Cory Bernardi, I went into it thinking like the only thing I knew about him was when he said that gay marriage would lead to someone eventually wanting to have sex with the dog. I think I found who Corey Minardi was talking about. I didn't think animals could give consent. That's what the lefties told me for many, many years. He's gone into talking about animals giving consent. So he was right before.

So wait a minute. What's the right wing position that animals can give consent or can't give consent? I don't understand... Are they pro-animal rape? What's going on? Well, no, no, but if they can give consent... Oh, this is very confusing. I just want to say...

I don't understand why it's a left or right-wing thing. I just want to say, if I can put it in these terms without getting sued and breaching a legal settlement, this topic makes me think of a different Sky News presenter. Obviously, Cori Bernardi isn't the biggest host of Sky News. The biggest host is Andrew Bolt. So I've got a question again. Who, according to Andrew...

Andrew Bolt, do you think, plays the race card too much? Sky News. Well, it'll be something stupid. So it'll be that the left play the race card too much. Who is the most discriminated against people in Australia? It'll be indigenous people. Indigenous people. Indigenous people play the race card too much.

Is that right? All right. Can we lock that in? Now, this is the first time that Bob Catter has played this race card to intimidate a liftman crowd at the ABC. Bob Catter. Bob Cata plays a lot. the race card way too much.

Andrew Bolt had an entire segment talking about how Bob Catter plays the race card and is constantly talking about race and his race. Okay, I've got to jump in here because you're doing a fine job, John, but this actually intersects with an actual serious theory I have.

This is not comedy for a moment. Oh, yeah. This is an announcement. There's a public announcement from Chaslett-Chedullo. I think Andrew Bolt is going to get the ass in the next year. And I'll tell you why. This is, this is this, this feeds right into it.

into it. He is two left wing for Sky News. I just think about that for a second. I'm telling you, I've watched him a bit. He has said nice things about Albanese several times during his campaign. His audience have turned on him. You are not allowed to do that if you're on Sky News at night. I would be shocked by this call, this very big call,

except for the fact that after the debate on Sky News, he was the only Sky presenter who's thought that Albanese had done a better job, and that he said, you know, unusually for a Labour leader, he wasn't scary. Exactly. And can I also point out, by the way, that I've seen the ad for the Sky News election coverage. It's already started because that's a few days away. Guess who isn't on the ad? I'm telling you, Bolt is going to get the ass. You hear you here first. He is the only one that fails to push whatever they want to talk about. So there was one time when they set up, clearly the talking points were that the French election is killer for the woke.

He hit all those, the same points as every other show, because they just show the exact same clips and all that for every single. episode except for like one or two segments. But his take was that Le Pen was a far right nut job and that he's happy to get the other guy. But literally all the other hosts were like, Le Pen was robbed. She's the only one that matters. So it's like, and then there's been other times as well where one time when he was interviewing Mark Latham, Mark Lathor, they were talking about both being transphobic.

And then at one point Mark Latham was like, this is a problem with the trans people and the gays. And then Bolt turned on him hard. And, like, had a goal in for being homophobic? So what's happened? Is Andrew Bold had a knock to the head? Can I just be clear here? He's not left wing.

Even in the slightest. He is as liberals they get, but he's not a doctrinaire hack. Yeah. Huge mistake. Yeah, it's exactly. That's a massive mistake. There are times when he will say something that's not predictable. But can't they recycle him into, you know,

do you remember that Fox News show years ago called Hannity and Coney and Coney? He could be the Sky News lefty. Paul Murray's got this, he was on after the debate, Paul Murray's got this amazing, like, Labor hack who just keeps turning up to be the punching bag. Rees, Nicholas Roes. Yeah, Nicholas Reese. He could be the...

He's in their ad. Bolt is not in their ad, but Nicholas Reese is in their ad. I just think Andrew Bolt, he's a smart fella, he's seen David Spears, and he wants to go to the ABC. Oh. Well, genuinely, I think Bolt, like, he has complained in the past that he finds his election boring and tedious and annoying. That Labor needs to push more to the left wing

and that Scott Morris and push more to the right wing and that they're all just sort of playing around doing nothing. I think he's just genuinely done, but he's like Rupert Murdoch's clear favourite out of the bunch. So he's there and everyone else is gone. Do you think that moving to the Mornington Peninsula has just sort of taken the edge of him? Oh, he never said...

He's a hippie. He's chilled out. Yeah, he's just chilled out. He hasn't even mentioned dictator Dan. No, only once did he has even. mentioned Dictator Dan, and then that's when he got in an argument about whether Dan Andrews is worse than the CCP and how

he handles protesters. But other than that one segment, but from that one. He had one moment clarity. Andrew Bolt, chill centrist. I never thought I'd say those words. But he does have genuine concerns that no one else

will talk about, though, not even the other Sky News hosts, like this real threat to us all. Scientists who are sending Earth's location. into space. Well, this could make aliens do something bad to us. See, aliens are going to attack,

and the leftist media isn't even talking about it. Where's Peter Dutton on this one? I think Peter Dutton is against all aliens. I'm pretty sure. Yeah, instead of stopping the boats, it'll be stopping the spacecraft. All right, you guys still don't seem convinced that Sky News is the only trustworthy source.

Not 100%. So, going past the normal hosts, Even their guests are really good. We call them normal, by the way, anyway. Like Daisy Cousins, she had a massive, massive thing to reveal about Johnny Depp. Johnny Depp, he is. He is a Hollywood lefty. He's not a fan of Trump, all of that.

And I think he's always been peculiarly spiritual and arguably psychic. I think in 2003, his psychic powers, and I mean this sincerely, foresaw the work culture war coming. Well, that's a new angle. Yeah. Yeah, Johnny Depp is psychic And I bet if you ask like ABC They would say definitely he's not psychic

So like The world that Sky News has I realize it's just a better world So you don't care whether it's the real world You just think it's a better world So you just want to be there So it is the real world We should all move to the Mornington Peninsula

They like again So Matt Canavan You guys said that his coal idea We mocked it Yeah Somebody else had an even better way To deal with the Taliban And, Jennifer, the world's never been more dangerous.

No, it hasn't. And look, if only the Easter Bunny was there to stop the Taliban. Yeah. We just didn't deploy the Easter Bunny. Why has no one deployed the Easter Bunny? Well, Ben Robert Smith was arguing for that, but then he pushed the bunny off a cliff. Dom likes that joke.

It was a very, very sad Easter Bunny. Although it was a pretty impressive. Egg roll. Also, they had ideas to make animals more American, like this last guy. Yeah, I mean, wouldn't it be terrific. I mean, it wouldn't be terrific, obviously, if it was required, but you'd assume the rabbits are armed. Well, that is the way to beat the Taliban with the Istabundi, I guess.

So, wait a minute, Sky News actually stopped down and took the idea seriously to say. I just, I must say, I'm starting to just think, John, we may have done a fairly bad thing. Would you just come over here and take a look at this cliff? Oh dear Our gear is from road microphones We are part of the ACAST creator network Bye John Bye
