| 5/4/26 |  Duncan Garner Exposes Media Cover-Ups, Double Standards, & Act’s new Immigration Policy | In this episode, Duncan takes a deep dive into the anatomy of the New Zealand media and why trust in legacy outlets is hitting new lows. He stayed silent on the story for so long.

We are also joined by ACT Leader and Deputy Prime Minister David Seymour to discuss the party's latest immigration strategy. Seymour explains the push for a five-year welfare stand down for new residents and the introduction of an infrastructure levy to ensure migrants contribute to the country's growing needs.
