WEBVTT - The Rita Panahi Show | 7 October 0:00:02.600 --> 0:00:09.880 On Sconland's Australia. This is the Reader Paney Show, Good evening. 0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:12.320 And welcome to the Reader Pannekey Show coming up tonight. 0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:17.360 Far left activists disgraced themselves again on Melbourne's streets. The 0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:23.240 bidon Harris administration's woeful response to Hurricane Helene. Another music 0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:28.440 SUPERSTARFF facing serious allegations of sexual assault and no matter 0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:31.680 how to pack the program, we always find time for left. 0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:32.840 He's losing it. 0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:35.199 Look, it'll be fine. It's not like he's going to 0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:39.720 say something crazy. I've become friends with school shooters. 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:46.280 On the first anniversary of the biggest massacre of Jews 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:50.960 since the Holocaust, we had protesters in Melbourne marching against 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:54.480 the only Jewish state in Sydney and Melbourne. They were 0:00:54.680 --> 0:01:12.160 chanting from the river to the sea yesterday. Joining me 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:15.960 now is Deputy Executive Director at the Institute of Public 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:21.280 Affairs Dan Wilders. Is shocking for the Jewish community in 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:24.120 this country and I would argue the wider community to 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:28.240 have this sort of response today, of all days. 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:33.399 Well, that's right, reader, It's not just a problem for 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:36.960 the Jewish community, although obviously it affects them most acutely. 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:41.679 It's a problem for our entire nation. Australian has had 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:45.039 a gut full of the importation of this foreign conflict 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.720 onto our streets and onto our university campuses. There's been 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.240 a complete and total lack of leadership at the state 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:55.360 and federal level from day one. These protests simply should 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:57.920 not have been allowed to go ahead. I don't even 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:01.520 like calling them protests because they were more the public 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:06.960 display of the glorification of religiously motivated violence targeted towards 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.280 one group of Australians based on their religious views that 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:14.480 simply has no place whatsoever in our country. This was 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:17.200 a line in the sand moment for our nation, and 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:20.120 our political leaders and law enforcement have failed. 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:26.960 Now Australia's ambassador to Iran has been hauled into a 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:32.400 meeting by the Iranian regime. Iran's Foreign ministry has summoned 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:37.360 in mcconnival over what he claims or Australia's biased point 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:40.799 of view on Iran's attacks against Israel, or as they 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:44.880 call it, the Zionist regime. This comes after the Australian 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:48.440 government summoned Iran's ambassador for the second time this year 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:51.959 over his praise of the now dead leader of the 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.800 terrorist group has Bulla. He described the terrorist as a 0:02:55.840 --> 0:03:01.560 prominent standard bearer, a remarkable leader, and a blessed martyr. 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:05.880 Dan He also said he fought against the vile entity 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:09.520 of the Zionist regime. Is it about time that the 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:15.400 an Easy government seriously considered expelling Iran's ambassador in light 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:16.360 of these comments? 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:22.079 Yes, the ambassador should be expelled, and he's right to 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:22.840 say we're biased. 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:23.560 We are biased. 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:26.800 We're biased against terrorists and nations which harbor and support them, 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:30.160 as we should be. You will have seen Tony Abbott, 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.840 former Prime Minister Tony Abbot's statement today in relation to 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.720 this issue, which I think was spot on with moral clarity, 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:40.320 saying that we have a very significant issue with Tehran, 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.840 the violence that they enable and support, including in relation 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:47.440 to their nuclear facilities, which are in all likelihood a 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:51.080 precursor to them at least attempting to develop nuclear weapons. 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:54.120 So this issue has the capacity to grow even bigger 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:56.240 than what it currently is. I don't think a lot 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:59.320 of people are aware or sufficiently sensitive towards the fact 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:03.640 that this conflict, which so far has been relatively isolated, 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:07.400 could very quickly escalate into a war. Not just across 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.960 the broader Middle East, but to also engulf other nations. 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:13.520 So this is why we've been saying from day one 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:17.560 that this behavior, the celebration of this in our nation 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.920 has to stop. It should stop. But as you've said 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:24.640 once again, this government has been found wanting, displaying absolutely 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:26.000 no leadership whatsoever. 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.560 Well, you talked about moral clarity there, and that is 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:35.760 one thing Peter Dutton has shown throughout this ordeal. He 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:40.280 has been consistent, He has been absolutely clear in what 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:44.159 is required. Do you see this becoming an issue at 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.880 the election. There's been a lot of talk about in 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:52.760 those seats with large Muslim communities this conflict being particularly 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.880 important in an upcoming election. But I do wonder whether 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.280 the rest of the electorate is looking at the way 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:01.960 these two leads as are handling this issue and drawing 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:03.559 some conclusions there as well. 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:08.440 Yeah, that's right, reader, I mean Peter Dutton has shown 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.599 a very strong leadership on this issue from day one. 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:17.240 He really has been Australia's main political leader, showing what 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.480 a leader does, which is to point out right from 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:23.159 wrong in terms of the political ramifications. Yes, this will matter. 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.800 Most Australians are not necessarily on one side. 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:27.000 Or the other. 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:29.839 They don't want this in our country. We are a 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:34.640 peaceful country, a tolerant country, and Australians do not want 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.640 to have, as I mentioned before, the importation of a 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:41.320 foreign conflict onto our streets. So Peter Dutton has shown 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:43.520 himself to be a leader. People will respond to that. 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.159 I would say the next step for the coalition to 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:49.480 take is to outline to the community what will they 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.400 do to make sure that this stops. I know that 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.880 the leader of the Opposition has said about the deportation 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:58.520 of those who are on visas, which is a very 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:01.080 good start. But we have a deeper problem, reader, which 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:03.560 is that many of those who are protesting are actually 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:06.400 citizens of our country, and some of whom were born 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:08.919 here as well. So there's a deeper cultural problem in 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:11.480 our nation. And i'd encourage a coalition to think about 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.520 what are they going to offer to the electric to 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:17.719 fix this very fundamental problem. 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:21.040 And if you look at these protests, it's a mixture 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:23.760 of people. They're not all people with connections to the 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.640 Middle East. There's plenty of the usual activist class that 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:31.000 you see at every protest, whether it's climate change, anti Australia, 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:34.880 day now anti Israel, it's the same mob. And yeah, 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:36.919 they're homegrown, so you're not going to be able to 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:40.719 deport them. But certainly you would hope if they're waiving 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:44.120 terrorist flags that there would be some consequences because that 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:49.359 is actually against the law. Now on Outsiders yesterday, Bridget 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:53.160 mackenzie made it clear that a coalition government would repeal 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:57.359 any disinformation laws put in place by the Albanesi government. 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:01.200 We're voting down this very appalling bill and we're proud 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.440 to do so. We hope it doesn't get up with 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.839 the support of the Greens, but it will be something 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:09.280 we'll be getting rid of in a coalition government. Und 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:13.800 your repellent, well, I would be yes, yes, absolutely, we 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:15.680 have to do everything we can. But that's why you 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.360 need to vote coalition in the Senate too. 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.720 That's certainly promising to see. If you ask me, Dan, 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:26.240 can you see these laws being put in place? Is 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:30.480 it going to get past the Senate? And do you 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.520 see an uprising in the community. I know there's a 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:37.720 lot of people from doctor Nick Coatesworth to free speech 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:40.520 activists who have spoken out against this, but I do 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:44.240 worry about the apathy in the wider population about an 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:45.000 issue like this. 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:50.000 Yeah. Well, firstly, Rita has to be said. 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:54.320 Good on Senator McKenzie for being emphatic in the coalition's 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.920 opposition and their commitment. Okay, this is a commitment to 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.560 repeal and the community will hold them to account on 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.560 that commitment. And good on Peter Dutton and the broader 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:05.640 coalition for being opposed to this dreadful attack on freedom 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:10.640 of speech which has no place in our democracy. In 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:13.960 terms of it passing, I don't think it'll pass. We 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:16.960 saw strong community opposition. There was something like two hundred 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:21.160 thousand submissions which were opposed to the original incarnation of 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:23.520 the bill, and the reason for that is because this 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.480 is about shutting down speech and opinion on the Internet, 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.560 so it affects the lives of every single Australian. Previous 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:32.280 issues such as eighteen C Section eighteen C which should 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:36.680 be repealed, that had a narrower application, But censoring the 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.560 Internet will affect the lives of every single Australian who 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:43.360 interacts online. We also know that young Australians are particularly 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:47.240 opposed to censorship as well. So I think that this 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:49.439 will not pass, at least not in its current form. 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:53.240 And I think the government really is incurring a political 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:59.240 cost because of this attack on our freedom of speech online. 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.319 I hope you all right, Dan, but I've got to 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:03.640 say I don't have that much faith in our Senate. 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:06.079 I've got a fear that it will pass in its 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:10.280 current form and it will be absolutely disastrous for the 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.600 time it's in place. If the Coalition win, obviously they've 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:17.120 said that would repeal any laws like this now. Former 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:21.080 British PM Lee Trusts made some interesting remarks during his 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:24.480 speech at Seapac over the weekend. I know you were there, 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:30.160 as was I in Brisbane. It was a fantastic conference. 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:35.360 Outsiders came live from the conference, but Liz Trust's comments 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:39.400 about the deep state, the bureaucracy, if you will, were 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.079 fascinating about really who runs the show. 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:45.679 Virtually all of the West is under socialist control. 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:48.880 But I have hope. 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:54.080 I have hope because the public, the vast majority of 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:58.480 the public, are on our side, and the fight that 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:02.720 we have now is more important than it's ever been. 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:06.200 The fight from within people in our own countries and 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:10.280 our own societies trying to denigrate our way of life, 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:14.800 trying to undermine our business and industry, trying to undermine 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:20.199 the family, trying to undermine history and human biology. These 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:22.760 are huge fights that we need to have. 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:26.120 Now, Dan, I'm interested in your response. You would have 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.840 heard her entire speech there. She has a book out 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:34.400 about saving the West. Should we be heeding her warning? 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:37.760 Well, we should be. 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.080 And I just want to reiterate your point about Sea 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:42.280 PAC which was a great conference and good on Andrew 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:45.240 Cooper setting that up, and there was a lot of 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.560 great speeches that were there, including the former Prime Minister 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:53.120 of the UK. And I share this trust is perspective 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:54.960 that we should have hope because the public is on 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.280 our side. We know that's the case. We saw it 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.560 here with the Voice of Parliament for example. The challenge 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:04.000 that we have though is how do we actually transmit 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:08.000 the public's views, the views of mainstream Australians, into the 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:11.679 political arena. And that's this Trust's entire point, which is that, 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:14.520 well you can't at the moment. That's what her book 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.199 is partly about outlining how hard it is, in her 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:20.600 interpretation of the world, for a conservative government to govern 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:24.359 conservatively because of the permanent political class and the bureaucracy 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:28.560 and the entire scaffolding that surrounds that. So the question 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:32.120 that we really face as a nation is when we 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:36.400 have almost every single major institution of our country, not 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:40.520 just in politics, but sports, civil society, universities that basically 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:45.040 share the same view their anti mainstream Australian values. 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:46.240 We saw that with the Voice. 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.920 Are we really a functioning democracy or are we becoming 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:53.760 more like an oligarchy every single day with those institutions 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:56.920 detached from the mainstream And how is it that we 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.199 can fix that? So that's the big question of our time. 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:05.000 But this is a thing that has always perplexed me. 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:08.600 I've spoken to many conservative politicians about it. When they 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:12.480 are in power, why they exercise that part. Of course, 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:16.240 they've got massive hurdles because you talked about that permanent 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:19.520 bureaucracy that's in place. But they have the power to 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:22.160 remove that bureaucracy. They have the power to appoint their 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:25.360 own people that have the power to make sure these 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:30.520 institutions reflect conservative values as well, and it seems they 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:34.400 shy way from that task when they are in office. 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:38.920 When the Australian public or the British with the Tories 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:44.119 elect them, they failed those who elect them. 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:47.400 YEP, I completely agree with that reader, you know you 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.360 think about Whitlam. He changed the country in three years. 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:53.680 He didn't last long, but his changes to the country 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:55.720 were much more permanent than a lot of what the 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:59.040 Coalition have done, for example. So look, I think the 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:00.960 issue here is there many on the right that are 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:05.080 squeamish in using political power. I can understand perhaps the 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:08.040 reasons why, because the inclination may be to reduce the 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:10.760 amount of power that centralized rather than increase it. But 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.400 what we have to remember is we're not in normal times. 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:16.600 So when we actually do capture political power, we need 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:18.720 to be willing to use it to achieve the ends 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:21.240 in our society and economy that we want to be 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:24.360 able to achieve. And it is going to require I 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:26.240 think a lot of fight and a lot of courage, 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:28.720 and I hope that we see that over the coming period. 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:35.600 Absolutely, if you win power, you have to exercise it, 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:38.160 and failure to do so is a betrayal of those 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.880 who elected you. Dan Wild, thank you so much for 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:46.360 your time this evening. Joining me now is Rabbi Pinkers Taylor, 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:51.400 Rabbi on the first anniversary of the horrific October seven 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:55.679 terrorist attacks on Israel. I'm interested in how you see 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:59.160 the Jewish community today. The response in the West from 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:03.240 many quarters must surely be salt in the wounds. To 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:07.119 see so much anti semitism from the left, in particular 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:12.640 on university campuses in major cities, marches in weak out 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:17.640 from segments of the arts community. How does the Jewish 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:23.680 community cope with that after such a devastating blow on 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:24.720 October seventh? 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.160 Well, sure, Rita, and thank you again for having me back. 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:35.600 I think the theme of this year has been resilience 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:39.960 and coming together. One of the noticed tremendously in the 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:44.640 Jewish community since October seventh last year is that despite 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:48.680 the fact that our oppressors came to destroy us and 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:53.040 came to ruin us, and then the theme of anti 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:57.280 Semitism spread across Europe, across the West at large, in 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:03.000 particular on college campuses, sen resilience beyond my wildest dreams 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:07.120 of the Jewish community coming together in ways that I've 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:10.200 never seen in my lifetime. People on the left and 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:13.360 the right, the religious, they're not religious, all trying to 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:18.000 get connected with their heritage once more. And so although 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:24.680 it was although it's still gut wrenching to watch and 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:29.840 to see the continued aftermath, especially on college campuses. It 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:33.240 is still we do find a silver lining that it 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:36.040 has brought the Jewish community tremendously together. 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:44.239 Now, the Jewish community, we know is very diverse politically 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:48.720 in how they see the world. But I do wonder 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:53.520 about how united it is in Israel in wanting to 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:56.160 defeat her mass and his bullock, because we have seen 0:15:56.200 --> 0:16:00.400 these mass protests and I'm interested to know whether you 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:04.600 believe those are really aimed at Benjamin Nishan Yahoo they're 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:09.200 not happy with his leadership, or are Israeli's split on 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:10.760 the war effort as well? 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:16.440 Well? My understanding I live in the United States, and 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:19.280 my understanding is, like any issue, there's a lot of 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:22.800 layers to everything. And what I mean by that is 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:26.240 that I understand that there's a large amount of people 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:30.200 that understandably want the first priorities to be on bringing 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.360 the hostages home, and that has always been a essential 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:37.840 part of this this mission as as a whole. And 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:39.880 then there are there are there are quite a number 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:42.560 of people. I think we're pretty united on the fact 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:45.600 that we want that this should never happen again. We 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:49.400 don't want another October seventh. I think you see Israel 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:53.120 finally sort of weeding out all of the all of 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:56.840 the would be oppressors and would be antagonizers and saying 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:59.240 enough is enough. We're not gonna We're not going to 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:01.440 live in fear. We're not going to have this continue 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:04.359 to happen. We are united on the front of eliminating 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:06.760 the cause that caused this all in the first place. 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:13.160 But the cause the funders of these terror groups, whether 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:16.879 it's Hamas or Hezbula, we know is the Iranian regime. 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:20.840 And while it remains in power, is Israel always going 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:22.680 to be under this threat? 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:29.080 I certainly hope not. And I was watching a speech 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:33.440 from bib Netsnyahu last week. You probably sought as well. 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:36.639 Probably many of the viewers saw it where BB speaks 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:40.399 directly to the Iranian people and says, very frankly, like 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:43.000 Ronald Reagan used to do and speak to the Russians directly, 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:46.080 that the civilians, the people said that our issue is 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:50.280 not with you. The Iranian people are not happy under 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:53.320 the current regime. But BB said a line in there 0:17:53.520 --> 0:18:00.280 that was very interesting, somewhat comforting. I think a lot 0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:02.000 of us feel like we're in the middle of a 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:05.359 movie watching and seeing what's gonna what's going to happen next. 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:07.920 But he said the words that he said was that 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:10.840 the end of the Iranian regime is coming a lot 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:15.120 sooner than many might think. And I don't know exactly 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:18.720 what to make from that, but that that idea of 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:21.840 having a free Iran where the Iranian people who have 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:24.639 been oppressed for several decades at this point should be 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:27.080 able to live in freedom again, I'm very happy and 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:31.360 optimistic about that potential opportunity being in the near future. 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:36.840 Well, let's hope. So, Rabbi Pinks Taylor, thank you so 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:38.000 much for a time this evening. 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:41.960 Thank you again for having me still to come. 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:45.600 Letty's Losing It and Alice Stein joins me with the 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:49.960 latest from the US, including the body of Horse, administration's 0:18:50.240 --> 0:19:06.600 woeful response to Hurricane Helene. Welcome back. Now it's time 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:09.960 for Lefty's Losing It. We'll be bringing you some superb 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:14.480 Harris Woll's parodies shortly, but let's start Lefties with some 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:20.280 unintentional glass courtesy of rock legend Bruce Springsteen. No, this 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:23.560 is not Pink or Till the Swinton. It is actually 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:27.879 the Boss and like all out of touch celebs, he 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:30.960 has a message for America. I just hope his shirt 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:32.120 is buttoned up here. 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:35.720 I'm supporting Kamala Harris for president and Tim Waltz for 0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:40.040 vice president, and opposing Donald Trump and JD. Vanced. 0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:43.720 Now, I'm sure old mate Bruce, given his advanced years, 0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:47.240 will not resent to hysteria and hyperbole to scare the 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:51.040 American public about a second Trump term. Surely is better 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:53.159 than that, Sadly not. 0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:58.200 Donald Trump is the most dangerous candidate for president in 0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:03.720 my lifetime. Disdain for the sanctity of our constitution, the 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:08.000 sanctity of democracy, the sanctity of the rule of law, 0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:11.879 and the sanctity of the peaceful transfer of power should 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:17.200 disqualify him from the office of president. Ever, again, he 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:21.720 doesn't understand the meaning of this country, it's history, or 0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:26.000 what it means to be deeply American. On the other hand, 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:29.119 Kamala Harris and Tim Walls are committed to a vision 0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:32.800 of this country that respects and includes everyone. 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:37.000 Yes, everyone, particularly the more than ten million illegal immigrants 0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:39.320 they've led into the country, and they want a fast 0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:43.240 track to citizenship. If you believe Bruce's crazy rant, then 0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:46.320 you probably think that Kamala Harris had nothing to do 0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:48.320 with the past three and a half years of the 0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:53.520 Biden Harris administration. But thankfully President Joe Biden remember him, 0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:57.520 made sure to remind the American public that she owns 0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:01.520 every failure. She was critical all the key decisions that 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:02.040 were made. 0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:05.879 Well, she's I'm in constant contact with her. She's aware 0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:10.399 where we're singing from the same song sheet. She helped 0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:13.720 pass all the laws that being employed now, she was 0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:18.159 a major player and everything we've done, including passage of 0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:21.919 the legislation which we were told we could never pass. 0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:26.879 And so she's been and her staff is inter locked 0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:29.680 with mine in terms of all the things we're doing. 0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:34.320 Thank you, President Biden. It's worth noting that he blindsided 0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:37.719 the Harris campaign by going into the White House briefing 0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:40.360 room to deliver those remarks, and it's the first time 0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:43.760 in his presidency that he's done that, So I think 0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:47.200 we know what he's thinking right now. Now, let's have 0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:50.160 some laughs, and I've got to say the Saturday Night 0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:53.760 Live carew I have been bringing the laughs lately, and 0:21:53.840 --> 0:21:58.520 their parody of the vice presidential debate had some golden moments. 0:21:58.920 --> 0:21:59.760 This is champagne. 0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:03.160 Governor Walls, you claimed you were in Hong Kong during 0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:06.159 the nineteen eighty nine Tanneman Square massacre when you were 0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:08.480 home in Minnesota. Can you explain that? 0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:09.159 So? 0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:14.399 I think what happened is I went to Epcot. You 0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:17.320 can go around the whole world, and I had a 0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:21.000 couple in the Germany section, and I thought I went 0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:23.760 to China. Anyway, I'm a knucklehead. 0:22:24.960 --> 0:22:27.840 Add spare a thought for Kamala or a Doug watching 0:22:27.920 --> 0:22:30.920 the debate at home. Okay, he's out there, he's doing 0:22:31.000 --> 0:22:32.600 this thing, whatever that may be. 0:22:36.000 --> 0:22:37.920 Come on, just relax. You know you haven't had a 0:22:38.040 --> 0:22:39.119 night off in three months. 0:22:39.440 --> 0:22:41.200 Do you want to watch something less stressful like The 0:22:41.280 --> 0:22:42.280 Menandez Brothers show. 0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:45.720 I don't know, Douggie. I kind of wish I had 0:22:45.800 --> 0:22:47.119 picked Josh right now. 0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:51.000 Oh, Joshapiro, No, Josh Cabernet. 0:22:52.200 --> 0:22:54.840 Looked tattal de Fine, It's not like he's gonna say 0:22:54.920 --> 0:22:55.720 something crazy. 0:22:57.200 --> 0:22:59.000 I'm become friends with school shooters. 0:23:01.880 --> 0:23:04.880 You know what this skit needs is some Joe Biden 0:23:05.000 --> 0:23:13.520 and Dana Carve's Biden is very good. Indeed, why are 0:23:13.640 --> 0:23:18.119 they friends? Why are they bibing MAMAA? 0:23:18.240 --> 0:23:20.520 It's Joe Biden. I can't talk right now. Tell him 0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:22.520 I'm not here. No, no, like he's in the room. 0:23:28.520 --> 0:23:31.760 No you're not You're not here.

Let me be Claire. 0:23:56.440 --> 0:23:56.840 Anyway. 0:23:57.640 --> 0:23:58.000 Guess what? 0:23:58.320 --> 0:24:01.920 And by the way, now, the real caramel I has 0:24:02.000 --> 0:24:04.200 been missing in action for most of the week as 0:24:04.240 --> 0:24:07.280 parts of the US were plunged into crisis in the 0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:10.840 aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which has left more than two 0:24:10.960 --> 0:24:13.919 hundred dead, many more missing, and parts of the country 0:24:14.040 --> 0:24:17.280 looking like a war zone. But the VP had other 0:24:17.400 --> 0:24:20.840 things on her mind, like doing a podcast with the 0:24:21.200 --> 0:24:24.680 Call Her Daddy team. Oh you don't know who they are. 0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:29.200 Let me familiarize you with their work and apologies in 0:24:29.320 --> 0:24:31.520 advance for the content here. 0:24:31.800 --> 0:24:33.000
