Van and Ben look at the latest in delusional thinking from the
Greens political party on housing and their desire to mimic the
failed policies of San Francisco, which has among the worst
homelessness issue of any wealthy western city and rents almost
EIGHTY PERCENT HIGHER than SYDNEY!


Good economic news today saw inflation fall.  Ben and Van
briefly discuss what this means and why Labor's intersectional
economic policies are helping tame inflation after a decade of
Morrisonism.


A clayton's coup is the coup you have when you don't have a coup
because your country is a gangster state not a nation
state.  Van and Ben explore what happened and a little bit
about why Putin is still President but no one is really sure of
what.


And the good news is about record wind energy production in
Victoria driving prices DOWN!
