From The Panel, 6:10 pm on 29 October 2024

Regular panellist & former Labour Party activist Shane Te Pou attended Donald Trumps Madison Square Gardens rally. He shares his experience:

"It was for many the coming of the Messiah. People were on their knees praying. People were weeping. People were screaming [in] euphoria"

Plus some of the conversations he had with the attendees:

"I used to be middle class, but I've just given up on everything. I can't send my daughter to university. My medical bills are sky high and I've just given up."
