National has come out and just straight out lied about inflation. As the rest of the country feels a little better tonight about the economy, National has to paint a negative picture as that suits their narrative but rather than being creative and making perfectly salient points as to how the economy is not out of the fire...they just choose to straight out lie...and we'll show you tonight Pro...

The latest 1News poll is out and if you read the headlines you'd think that National has basically won the election, but the numbers say something different, that nothing has really changed and it's still anyone's game The Gender Pay Gap is in the headlines again due to the Women's World Cup so tonight we'll take a look at what is being said along with a breakdown that Nate the...

A report has been release that still in 2023, even when police have discretion, Māori are still being disproportionately charge when it comes to cannabis use. It echoes all the concerns that advocates spelled out when NZ had the chance to decriminalize cannabis but as we didn't, the same issues are here today that Māori are vastly more likely to get a charge or be involved in the criminal syst...

Tucker Carlson's viewing numbers are cratering on his new Twitter feed. Yes they are still large compared to many in both MSM, Cable and online...but when you take into consideration the new gerry-rigging that Elon is doing to count views and the downward projection it would be a concern. Tucker is also up for some more legal action and we show an interesting interaction between Tucker and a C...

Shaneel Lal requested that a new social media platform be a safer space for trans people and the (NZ) internet broke because how dare we not have the right to treat people terribly and have someone request not to be attacked. A deep(ish) dive into the story, that some think is the story-of-the-week but as we demonstrate if if was someone asking for racists to not be racist on the same platform it...

Christopher Luxon went on TVNZ's Breakfast to defend hi pandering to an audience in Nelson who were looking at the big issues in this upcoming election, like bilingual signs and how poor, old, white people can't figure out when a sign is up outside a school, that has the word school on it, that is surrounded by children at 9am and 3pm, actually is as it might have the word 'Kura' o...

What has been up until now a razor thin election cycle may just have leaned heavily towards National as Labour announces policies around that not only are cowardly, but also terrible politics as the taxes in question are popular and the majority of NZers, want them brought in not to mention the majority of economists say they need to be brought in. Has Labour just handed the election to National b...

Christopher Luxon has made an active decision to not beat around the bush anymore when it comes to treading lightly to try to get racist people to vote for him, while distancing himself from their perspectives. Now he's just telling them to vote for him. In Nelson when asked about what he was going to do about bilingual signs, rather than saying "nothing, I support bilingual signs" h...

Brooke van Velden was on Breakfast on TVNZ spreading misinformation about a youth court case as a way to attempt to solidify their position on crime. We take a look at the three-step process ACT, and probably other political parties, use to get exaggeration into the media, with no push back from hosts, to further their own agendas. Visit www. BHNShop.nz for the July drop of merchandise to support...

Christopher Luxon has done the morning television circuit attempting to defend the comments made, and responses given, in his Nelson meeting. One of the main criticisms is that he is very able to answer questions quickly, clearly and effectively painting his position when talking to the media...but when talking to people whom he wants to vote for his party he pauses and picks his words much more c...

The latest Roy Morgan poll is out and while many are pointing to the right bloc's advantage compared to the left, they seem to be missing that this is the worst result that National has received, in this poll, since Christopher Luxon has taken over as leader. ACT is on the rise, taking voters from Luxon's National and while we don't like to project, as this poll just tells us what is h...

Evangelical preacher Julian Batchelor is touring the country attmpeting to convince old, white New Zealands that Maori are looking to take over the country via his "Stop co-governance" tour. Wherever he turns up there are protests at the meeting and the message and in Christchurch Byron Clark was among 150ish people saying 'No' to Batchelor's message Byron joins us to talk ab...

Chloe Swarbrick has once again showed she is fast becoming a master at the political game and disseminating information to the public. This is another example of Chloe going on the AM Show to not only 'battle' ACT leader David Seymour, but also host Ryan Bridge who echoed the talking points of the right voicing concerns for the landlords while ignoring the tenants circumstances. Visit www....

Transgender TikTok influencer, Dylan Mulvaney, has spoken publicly about her life experiences when her Bug Light sponsored post broke the "Conservative" internet. We wanted people to know how Bud Light abandoned her and also wanted to look at how companies are just using minorities for financial gain with no desire to help said community, but also how if influencers are taking promotiona...

Invercargill Mayor Nobby Clark is attempting to put in place new bylaws not allowing bilingual naming of civic buildings unless the Māori words relate to a building's purpose. This means that using metaphors or words that have a symbolic meaning should not be allowed. It seems to be a clear attempt to control and dissuade the use of Te Reo by a Mayor who has form in racist rhetoric. The counci...

Who would have thought an event run by Leo Molloy and featuring Sean Plunket and Wayne Brown would have racist and homophobic undertones. We have a look at the 'menu' story tonight Paddy Gower has issues with feral cats. The story on last night's episode was a mixture of good information, and a lust for blood with Gower and other seemingly gleefully parading around dead cats without a...

The National Party's "soft on crime" rhetoric is said to be harmful to making things better for society when it comes to gangs and crime...but it hits well with their base so of course they are not going to stop, even when challenged with the scientific evidence Does NZ need a new medical school? The government is questioning how a new plan by National to open one in Waikato wonderin...

After Dylan Mulvaney became the most hated person on the planet because Bud Light wanted to use her reach to make money, we now learn that Bud Light ran for the hills rather than support the person they helped put in the place of being abused. Mulvaney has spoken out today and we'll take a look at it. The latest Roy Morgan poll has come out and again shown National underperforming and ACT bein...
