00:00:00.000 You're feeding the mob. You're feeding the horde. You will never pacify them. And I mean,
00:00:07.100 Danielle's got, I mean, hey, I understand if you really did screw up, I do want to see your
00:00:11.280 leaders apologize. I want them to be genuinely contrite. But in this case, this is all,
00:00:17.280 they're just starting to dig. Smith has thousands and thousands of hours of radio airtime. And I
00:00:23.200 guarantee you there's a bunch of NDP staffers and volunteers listening to every second of it
00:00:27.380 and categorizing things that they can take out of context. Or maybe they really were something
00:00:33.180 stupid. She said three years ago, or who knows what, or maybe a guest who was controversial. 1.00
00:00:37.720 They're going to go into everything, everything she did on Locals. Every time she was on my show,
00:00:42.480 they are scouring everything. And every week they're going to come up with a new outrage
00:00:46.740 and they're going to demand that she apologize for it. And meanwhile, while she's trying,
00:00:50.560 she's got seven months to try and win the next election. She's going to be too busy playing 1.00
00:00:54.400 whack-a-mole with all of these because she fed the crocodile and it's just getting hungrier.
00:00:58.880 Stop it. Stop it, Danielle. You got other things to do. Just ignore them. Tell them to go to hell. 0.52
00:01:04.640 I know it's not easy, but hey, you took the big job. We want reform. We don't want the same old, 0.99
00:01:10.100 I'm scared. I'm going to back off and hit the reverse every time they get on my case. I've never
00:01:15.320 seen the legacy media swarm so effectively as they have since it even became evident that Smith was going
00:01:22.240 to win the premiership. Look, they're not going to give you a break no matter what you do. So stick
00:01:27.980 to what you focused on. Stick to what you campaigned on. Stick to what you're going to do.
