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!
