1
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: On scoring leaves Australia. This is the Wader Panety Show.

2
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Reader Paney Show.

3
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,319
Speaker 3: Coming up tonight, the Liberals dragged kicking and screaming to

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,319
Speaker 3: a rational energy policy. The panel will weigh in on

5
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,479
Speaker 3: that and much more is the renewables grift over. A

6
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 3: new report shows that private investment in the sector is stalling.

7
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 3: I'll speak to Adan Morrison about that shortly. Army Horowitz

8
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 3: will have all your US news, including the real story

9
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 3: behind the latest Jeffrey Epstein revelations, and later in the

10
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 3: hour we'll look at why queer characters have been slashed

11
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 3: from TV shows. They will be with Ddie Dunlevy and

12
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 3: Left He Is Losing It features this self delighted.

13
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 4: Fool because when you don't ever even hear the facts,

14
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 4: it's hard to even know that you're wrong.

15
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 3: Now, we'll have more on the Liberal Party's net zero

16
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 3: decision shortly, but first secret documents have exposed an alleged

17
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 3: labor plot to stitch up former Liberal Senator Linda Reynolds

18
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 3: in its decision to award two point four million dollars

19
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 3: to Britney Higgins in twenty twenty two The trove of

20
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 3: documents remained hidden from Reynolds until they were uncovered during

21
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 3: her defamation case against Higgins, and they reveal how the

22
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 3: upp and Easy government maneuvered to award Higgins the massive

23
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 3: compensation payout while keeping Reynolds.

24
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 2: In the dark.

25
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 3: The move ensured Reynolds was unable to defend herself against

26
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 3: higgins claims of a political cover up. Linda Reynolds is

27
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 3: now taking the Commonwealth Government and its lawyers to court

28
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 3: over the controversial settlement. After the judge in her successful

29
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 3: defamation case against Higgins found it was entirely reasonable for

30
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 3: her to question the process by which the settlement had

31
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 3: been achieved and gave her permission to use the documents

32
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 3: as evidence. Joining me now for more on this are

33
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 3: Sky News contributors Louise Roberts and Caroline de Rosso. Louise,

34
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 3: these allegations are damning for the Albanesi government absolutely.

35
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 5: I mean, it just looks like a complete stitch up

36
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 5: for Linda Reynolds, doesn't it that she was silenced and

37
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 5: set up? And not only Linda, but also Fiona Brown.

38
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 5: We had two senior political women who were hung out

39
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 5: to dry. Linda had no opportunity to defend herself for

40
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 5: Albanesi government, according to these documents, moved in and took

41
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 5: control of her defense and she couldn't even have her

42
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 5: say on things that later on were proven to be

43
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 5: false of course in court. So damning indictment of how

44
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 5: we treat senior women in this situation. And also to

45
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 5: fast track through a two point four men and dollar payment,

46
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 5: as you say to Britney Higgins, is absolutely appalling. It's

47
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 5: a very bad look for the Albanese government.

48
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 3: Caroline Linda Reynolds has been vindicated, but she's paid a

49
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 3: really heavy price with her health, with her reputation.

50
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: And financially as well.

51
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: Though she has won this defamation case, she is out

52
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 3: of pocket by an enormous sum.

53
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 6: She is reader and obviously I have to disclose for

54
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 6: particularly the purpose of this, that I'm the State president

55
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 6: of the lives here in Western Australia, but I also

56
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 6: practice as a litigation lawyer for almost fifteen years and

57
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 6: this has taken a huge toll. And the thing that

58
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 6: people often don't understand is just because you win a

59
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 6: court case doesn't necessarily mean that you get paid or

60
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 6: you get all your costs covered.

61
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 7: As part of that process. So earlier in the week

62
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 7: there were.

63
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 6: Bankruptcy proceedings that are going on in the federal court

64
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 6: at the moment in and around that and that is

65
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 6: because of the non payment of that judgment from the

66
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 6: defamation case. And just off the back of what Luise said,

67
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 6: very uncomfortable to read the allegations that have just that

68
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 6: have just come to light this week in relation to

69
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 6: and around the settlement. And you know, there's a lot

70
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 6: of lawyers who are involved here and ultimately read there's

71
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 6: a couple of things that you learn very early on

72
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 6: in the piece as a lawyer, and first that you're

73
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 6: primarily an officer of the court. And the second thing

74
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 6: we ask ourselves almost every year when we do our

75
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 6: ethics CPD update is who is your client and the

76
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 6: fiduciary duty that you owe to them. So at the moment,

77
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 6: there's a bunch of allegations here, but I find a

78
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 6: lot of them very very uncomfortable in that practice and process,

79
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 6: or from that practice and process point of view, I

80
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 6: should say, you know, what was the government doing at

81
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 6: the time, but also what were all the lawyers doing

82
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 6: at the time, and were they comfortable within the way

83
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 6: that this process was happening, so there's some absolutely, some

84
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 6: stark allegations there. It will be very, very interesting to

85
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 6: see how this all plays out.

86
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 3: Now, after hours of party room debate across two days,

87
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 3: the Liberals have ditched net zero, that's net zero by

88
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 3: twenty fifty, but they have also remained in Paris. So

89
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 3: it's a little bit confused if you ask me. The

90
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 3: party says that its new policy will prioritize making power

91
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 3: affordable again while reducing emissions in a responsible way and

92
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 3: lifting the moratorium on nuclear energy. Carol, I'll start with you.

93
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 3: The moderates continue to be an issue. I think this decision,

94
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 3: to be sort of half pregnant, is to appease those

95
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 3: moderates by staying in Paris but abandoning net zero.

96
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: Do you see this as a coherent policy position.

97
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 6: Well, my understanding is that the National's position is also

98
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 6: to stay in.

99
00:05:59,480 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 2: Paris.

100
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 6: I don't think anyone would be accusing anyone in the

101
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 6: National Party of being a moderate. I mean, ultimately, the

102
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 6: position in the party and there were always going to

103
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 6: be a variety of views, and people are allowed to

104
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 6: have different views in the Liberal Party, and that's what

105
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 6: makes us so different. From labor, so no one was

106
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 6: ever going to get one hundred percent exactly of what

107
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 6: they wanted here. So the fact that you know they've

108
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 6: come to this position, and like John Howard said, politics

109
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 6: is the art of the compromise, and I just feel

110
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 6: like everyone has been accommodated to an extent and now

111
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 6: there's going to be those conversations with the National Party

112
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 6: and ultimately a joint party room.

113
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 2: So there was always going to be that.

114
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 6: Bit of movement, and you might call it a bit

115
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 6: of friction, but a robust debate never killed anyone in politics. Frankly,

116
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 6: I think we should have more of them. And it'll

117
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 6: be interesting to see how this goes into that joint

118
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 6: party room because ultimately that's where that position needs to land.

119
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 3: They go into copp an almighty backlash they already have

120
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 3: so far from the usual suspects, the activists, the media,

121
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 3: everyone who's advising them to via further left. But the

122
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 3: truth is as soon as they embrace net zero, they

123
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 3: started losing elections in landslides. And this is the only

124
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: rational position to come to, not just politically, but to

125
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 3: give the people a clear choice at the ballot box,

126
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 3: to give Australians a real choice when it comes to

127
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 3: deciding whether they prioritize cost and reliability or emission cuts.

128
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 5: Absolutely, and don't Australians want affordable power and a reliable grid.

129
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 5: I mean, and I noticed that was part of the

130
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 5: narrative from the Liverpool Party on this, and I do

131
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 5: feel although they seem to have a foot in both

132
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 5: cams or half pregnant, as you say quite correctly, it

133
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 5: is a bit more of a common sense move and

134
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 5: I was very relieved to see that because the end

135
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 5: of the day, we're all paying too much for power

136
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 5: and we've got plenty of natural resources, so if they

137
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 5: move more towards that rather than fixated on emissions target,

138
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 5: I think it's a good thing.

139
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 8: Now.

140
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 3: Victoria Police have released photos of eight people they're seeking

141
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 3: in relation to a violent protest in Melbourne's CBD last month,

142
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 3: which saw bar Left protesters held glass bottles, rotten fruit

143
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 3: and rocks at police. Drone footage of the CBD clash

144
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 3: captured mass protesters hurling about a dozen rocks at police

145
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 3: from what appeared to be a pre prepared stockpile during

146
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 3: the October nineteen protests.

147
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 2: This is just horrendous.

148
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 9: Stuff.

149
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 3: Caroline officers were left injured, and it was good to

150
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 3: see police command come out and provide complete clarity on

151
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 3: precisely which side was behind this violence. They were so

152
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 3: fed up with it that they weren't going to be diplomatic.

153
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 3: They were absolutely clear that it was the left wing

154
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 3: protesters who were behaving in this manner.

155
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 2: They were and.

156
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 6: Look, that's probably a really uncomfortable truth for some people

157
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 6: to hear, but sometimes you just need to say those

158
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,719
Speaker 6: things in particularly when we're talking about our police and

159
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 6: their lives potentially being put in danger in this way.

160
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 6: That is totally unacceptable. There is a right to peaceful

161
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 6: protest in this country. There is nothing peaceful about that

162
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 6: sort of behavior. Very uncomfortable obviously around a lot of

163
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 6: these protests is being massed. Obviously, well, firstly there are

164
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 6: a bunch of cowards, but it makes it much more

165
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 6: difficult to identify them going forward.

166
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 7: I know that the Victorian government.

167
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 6: Has said or has made overtures about outlawing the wearing

168
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 6: of masks at these sorts of protests, but what we've

169
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 6: heard in recent days it appears like they're going a

170
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 6: bit soft on that. I think that there is something

171
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 6: that absolutely must be done. Like people who are online

172
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 6: that can't be identified, they engage in behavior which probably

173
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 6: they wouldn't do if they were identifiable. So I think

174
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 6: mars need to go and people need to be accountable

175
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 6: for their behavior. And if you are being violent towards

176
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 6: police at what should otherwise be a peaceful protest, then

177
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 6: the book should absolutely be ditched.

178
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 9: At you.

179
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 7: Now.

180
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 3: New Monash University study of a young Australians has revealed

181
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 3: how many young people have lost hope of owning a home.

182
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 3: This is really quite depressing. At nearly sixty percent say

183
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 3: they won't be able to buy a house and half

184
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 3: think that unlikely to have a child. Louise, not having

185
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 3: a home, not having a family, I can understand why

186
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 3: so many youngsters are depressed.

187
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

188
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 5: Absolutely, And isn't the family the foundation of a great,

189
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 5: thriving Australian society. You can sort of buy your own

190
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 5: home and one day you want to meet someone and

191
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 5: have a family with them. And I was really quite

192
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 5: yes sad when I saw that figure saying half of

193
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 5: eighteen to twenty four year olds who were surveyed here

194
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 5: and did the research can't imagine themselves ever having children.

195
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 5: I found that very, very depressing because that's all speaks

196
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 5: to our prosperity and they're absolute despair that under subsequent governments,

197
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 5: particularly the current government obviously in Victoria, they feel there's

198
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 5: a hopeless future ahead for them. And these are young people,

199
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 5: obviously very talented, worried about workforce, going for jobs, not

200
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 5: getting any interviews, and they're all despairing. They're only eighteen

201
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 5: to twenty four. We're not talking about people at the

202
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 5: end of their careers. We're talking about young people who

203
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 5: will form a very significant voter block for political parties

204
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 5: and will send a very strong message that you do

205
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 5: nothing for us, you do nothing for our future prosperity.

206
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is pretty sad to have eighteen to twenty

207
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 3: four year olds be this jaded, Caroline, And the figures

208
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 3: are getting worse. In twenty twenty two, around one in

209
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 3: two young Australians thought that would be financially worse off

210
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 3: than their parents. This year the figure is seventy nine percent.

211
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 3: I mean that again is pretty damning and is something

212
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 3: political parties from both sides need to address.

213
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 6: Absolutely they do and as an order of priority, and

214
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 6: imagine thinking that that proportion of our young people who

215
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 6: should be optimistic and energized and engaged and wanting to

216
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 6: take on the world are actually feeling so devoid of hope. Look,

217
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 6: I don't think you've disagree with me, Rita. I think

218
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 6: that COVID and lockdowns, you know, attributed to that in

219
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 6: a mental health sense. I think a lot of the

220
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 6: government money that washed around at that time has added

221
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 6: to things like housing prices and whatever. And I think

222
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 6: our political parties are a bit slow to get there

223
00:12:54,480 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 6: and really understand how deep this. You know, this malaise

224
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 6: I suppose is within our younger generation, and reader, I

225
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 6: fear it is actually only going to get worse because

226
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 6: as you look at children coming through the education system,

227
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 6: they just keep getting fed this diet of crisis and

228
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 6: catastrophe and you're privileged, and you're this, and you're that,

229
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 6: and you're whatever. So if you are getting that from

230
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 6: a very very young age, how are you meant to

231
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 6: have an optimistic outlook on life and that you can

232
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 6: be a great contributor to it when you get to

233
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 6: your late teens in early twenties.

234
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 3: Before you two go, there are growing rumors of a

235
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 3: plot to our British Prime minister here Starmer, the Labor

236
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 3: leader's popularity has gone into free for all. These figures

237
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 3: are incredible. A uguf Pohl says seventy three percent disapprove

238
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 3: of the job. He's doing this as a man who

239
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 3: won in a landslide not too long ago. Starmer's allies

240
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 3: have warned his job might be under immediate threat and

241
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 3: have singled out Health Secretary Was Streeting as a possible

242
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 3: challenger Loise. The Brits seem to finally have had enough

243
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 3: and they've got.

244
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 2: A clear choice.

245
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 3: Their system is a little different to ours that don't

246
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 3: have a proferential system. They've got a first past the

247
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 3: post system and they are wanting the Trumpelin Nigel Farage

248
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,239
Speaker 3: ahead of Labor and the Tories at this point.

249
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 5: Yes, isn't that interesting And of course it's not compulsory

250
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 5: to vote in the UK, so they really need to

251
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 5: do turn up at the ballot box and actually have

252
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 5: their say. And this is two weeks before the government's

253
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 5: about to hand down a significant budget as well, so

254
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 5: it's the last thing the keystar and the government need.

255
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 5: But for the bridge point of view, as you say,

256
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 5: they've absolutely fired enough. They've seen knife crime, they've seen

257
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 5: mobile phone crime, they've seen mass immigration, they've seen all

258
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 5: the issues with asylum seekers, and they've seen their beautiful country.

259
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 5: And I lived there for seventeen years and I look

260
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 5: at England now and I can barely recognize parts of that.

261
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 5: I barely recognize London because of the crime problem there.

262
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 5: So I would encourage people to go and vote when

263
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 5: they can and push the government out because Kids dar

264
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 5: mclearly is not the prime minister they need.

265
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 2: Louise Robbers. Caroline dei Rosso, thank you so much for

266
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 2: your time.

267
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 3: Now let's bring in Center for Independent Studies Director of

268
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 3: Energy Research Aidan Morrison for more on the Liberals net

269
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 3: zero decision.

270
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 2: Aiden.

271
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 3: The party has dumped net zero by twenty fifty, but

272
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 3: it remains committed to Paris.

273
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 10: The Liberal Party I lead will not stand by and

274
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 10: let Australians get crushed by these high power prices. We

275
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 10: will have an energy and emissions policy driven by two

276
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 10: key objectives.

277
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 2: Affordable, reliable power.

278
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 10: And responsible emissions reductions. And our energy and emissions policies

279
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 10: will use Australian resources for Australian families, So you pay less.

280
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 2: For your power, Aiden, Can you have that?

281
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 3: Can you have two objectives that seem to be in

282
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 3: common fleeked to have cheap, reliable energy but also emission

283
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 3: cuts or as she puts at, responsible emission cuts.

284
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 11: Look, I guess you can have the two, so long

285
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 11: as you're brutally honest and clear about which one has

286
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 11: the upper hand, in which one is more important. And

287
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 11: in this case in credits to the Liberal Party, it

288
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 11: seems they have said that price is the priority here.

289
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 11: And as for the Paris Agreement, well, the good thing

290
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 11: about the Paris Agreement is that your specific contributions, they're

291
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 11: called nationally determined contributions, they're up for individual member countries

292
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 11: to set for themselves, so we can actually just dial

293
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 11: them back to something that is really small, even meaningless,

294
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 11: and stay in the Paris So really it's not that

295
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 11: dangerous to remain in Paris.

296
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 9: It's a little bit odd.

297
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 11: It's kind of like going through a messy breakup with

298
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 11: your X and then keeping a photo on the mantelpiece.

299
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 9: For a little bit longer. Not that dangerous, but definitely

300
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 9: a little bit weird.

301
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 3: It is a little bit weird, and I do like

302
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 3: that analogy. I think it confuses the messaging because they're

303
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 3: trying to again appease those smaller liberals, a peace the

304
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 3: inner city affluent types who are preoccupied with this issue.

305
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 3: But I don't think they're going.

306
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 2: To be a piece.

307
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 3: I don't think they're going to be confused that easily.

308
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 3: But it confuses selling cheap, reliable energy to the rest

309
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 3: of the electorate, and I think hopefully they'll slowly realize

310
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 3: that it's taken them a long time to get to

311
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 3: this position. We've been telling them for years, well before

312
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,239
Speaker 3: the last election. Now, aiden you and your colleagues at

313
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 3: the Center of Independent Studies released a report into Australia's

314
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,959
Speaker 3: renewables roll out last month, and it showed that it

315
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 3: does not pass the cost benefit test. Explain to my audience,

316
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 3: what are the issues and costs that are encountered at

317
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 3: just thirty percent renewables in the grid, and what's that

318
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 3: going to look like if it's seventy or eighty percent.

319
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's right.

320
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 11: The short story is that renewable energy is subject to

321
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 11: something of a honeymoon. A very little bit, a small

322
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 11: amount is line of harmless, not necessarily that helpful, but

323
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 11: doesn't hurt the grid. And that's because you just dial

324
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 11: back whatever other energy source. So be it coal and gas,

325
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 11: they have a bit of flexibility. You just dial that

326
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 11: back a little bit to make room for the wind

327
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 11: when it's windy and the sun when the sun is shining,

328
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 11: and that existing flexibility of the grid it runs out

329
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 11: somewhere around the twenty five thirty percent mark, which is

330
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 11: where we are. And at that point you're stuck with

331
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 11: too much energy at some places and sometimes and still

332
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 11: not enough at other places and other times, and so

333
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 11: you have to start the expensive, difficult business of moving

334
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 11: energy around through space and through time. So you do

335
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 11: that with batteries for storage and pumped hydro, you do

336
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 11: that with major new transmission lines. Moving energy around the clock,

337
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 11: the calendar and the country is the expensive bit. And

338
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 11: about thirty percent is where that really starts to bite it,

339
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 11: and you have to do a lot, which is why

340
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 11: we're seeing so many new transmission projects and battery projects.

341
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 11: But up around eighty percent, the majority of the energy

342
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 11: is actually going to be consumed thousands of kilometers away

343
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 11: or hours after it's actually generated, and that just becomes

344
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 11: extremely expensive. Indeed, so things always get harder from here,

345
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 11: and right now we've already discovered that renewable energy at

346
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 11: the moment is more expensive than the energy system we

347
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 11: had before, which was dominated by stable, steady, reliable thermore generators.

348
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 3: If it's costing this much a thirty percent, and it's

349
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,479
Speaker 3: going to be a lot worse than forty fifty sixty

350
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 3: seventy percent, I mean, you would hate to predict what

351
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 3: the cost is going to be to households, to businesses

352
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 3: to try to deal with that intermitsion power. And we've

353
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 3: got to start calling renewables intermitsion power because that's a

354
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 3: far more.

355
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 2: Accurate description of what it actually is.

356
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 3: Now, before you go, how much transparency is there in

357
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 3: the amount of tax payer money that is going into

358
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 3: renewables that is propping up the sector. What would happen

359
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 3: without that sort of market intervention, Yeah.

360
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 11: There is no transparency at all. The major previous subsidy

361
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 11: scheme I called the Renewable Energy Target that's about to

362
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 11: phase out in twenty thirty and the replacement scheme is

363
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 11: called the Capacity Investment Scheme. And every subsidy is basically

364
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 11: determined project by project, with the Minister signing off on

365
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 11: a confidential deal that we'll never know about, giving them

366
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 11: basically as much money as they ask for, so I'm

367
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 11: quite confident. I've made the statement before about a billion

368
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 11: dollars for a single wind farm in Victoria, in the

369
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 11: kent Brook wind farm, and that wasn't challenged by the

370
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 11: experts of proponents.

371
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 9: When I was put to a planning committee meeting.

372
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 11: So this is untold billions of dollars that are being

373
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 11: spent here, and if those subsidies are taken away, there

374
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 11: would simply be no more investment in Australian renewable energy generation.

375
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 11: It's an absolute myth of falsehood that the market is

376
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 11: somehow teetering and waiting to put all of this money in.

377
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 11: Absolutely none of the money moves in without the government

378
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 11: basically forcing or compelling it in with some sort of

379
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 11: subsidy or a regulatory instrument that forces us to.

380
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 9: Pay higher bills to cover the costs.

381
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 11: So if there was no more subsidies, the renewable energy

382
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 11: would stop dead in its tracks, and in fact it

383
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 11: almost has even with the latest round of subsidies. A

384
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 11: lot of the major projects are not even reaching financial

385
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 11: clothes and that's just an indicator of how bad the

386
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 11: economics currently are for renewable energy in Australia. Because we

387
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 11: already have basically too much in the system. The honeymoon,

388
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 11: it's definitely.

389
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 3: Over and it wasn't much of a honeymoon either it

390
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 3: and Morrison, thank you so much for your insights. Tonight,

391
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 3: still to come left He's losing it past. The latest

392
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 3: from the US, including today's Jeffrey Epstein revelations, are me

393
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 3: Horowitz as the details. You're watching the Reader Panehy Show,

394
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 3: and it's time for lefties losing it. And we've seen

395
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 3: some astonishing stuff in this segment.

396
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 2: We've heard from.

397
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 3: Liars, gas lighters, the deluded, the deranged, and the dull witted.

398
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 3: And I'm about to play you a clip that brings

399
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 3: a lot of those elements together. Here is CNN's Abby

400
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 3: Philip talking to former MSNBC anchor and conspiracy theorist Joy Read.

401
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 2: The projection here is incredible.

402
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 4: Conservatives are living in a completely different information world, absolutely

403
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 4: and liberals, and breaking that down needs to be done

404
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 4: because when you don't ever even hear the facts, it's.

405
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 7: Hard to even know that you're wrong.

406
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 4: And that happens a lot.

407
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 2: Wow, just wow.

408
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 3: First, she says facts, she means her demented opinions, not

409
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 3: actual facts, and a reminder she's been wrong on just

410
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 3: about every consequential issue in recent years, along with Joyreid,

411
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 3: whose podcast she seems to be appearing on Joyread not

412
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 3: too long ago, pushing conspiracy theories about Donald Trump not

413
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 3: really being hit with a bullet in Butler, Pennsylvania. She's

414
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 3: as loopy as they come, but she's on the same

415
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 3: side as self delighted, self aggrandizer Abby Half.

416
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 4: My job sometimes is knowing what the latest conspiracy is

417
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 4: so that if it comes up, I'm ready to address it.

418
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 4: Because it happens a lot where people don't even know

419
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 4: that what they're saying or what they've seen and believe

420
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 4: is not true. And so that happens a lot, and

421
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 4: I don't come away from that saying, what's the point

422
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 4: of this? People are just saying false things. I think

423
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 4: that one time that that person brings up something that

424
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 4: is debunked and false and I debunk it at the

425
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 4: table might be the very first time that someone out

426
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 4: there has heard an alternative point of view.

427
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 3: Yes Week, conservatives really need Abby Philip, the hopelessly biased,

428
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 3: hopelessly wrong at Philip to debunk laws for us.

429
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 2: Let's have a look at her recent form.

430
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 4: It's clear as today the FBI put out statistics crime

431
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 4: is going down. You don't have to you don't have

432
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 4: to twist the facts.

433
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 12: The FBI quietly comes out with this new data that

434
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 12: shows actually violent crime.

435
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 2: Is up four and a half percent during that time frame.

436
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,719
Speaker 4: The only person making an accusation that people are not

437
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 4: getting what they've asked for is Trump falsely claiming that

438
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 4: the administration is withholding resources because of political affiliation.

439
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 9: That is just not as well.

440
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 13: The Federal Emergency Management Agency is facing major backlash after

441
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 13: confirming reports that a supervisor ordered disaster relief workers to

442
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 13: avoid homes with Trump yard signs.

443
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 4: There's actually not any evidence linking any of Hunter Biden's

444
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 4: wrongdoings to.

445
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: Joe by laurencerect You.

446
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 4: Think that Biden would actually pardon Hunter Biden, despite him

447
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 4: saying pretty yes, a he would.

448
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 2: Now he's going to get pardoned by his dad.

449
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:03,719
Speaker 8: There's no question about that.

450
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 4: The President has ruled out pardoning his son.

451
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: Breaking news. President Biden has just pardoned his son.

452
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 3: There's so much more, and thanks to May's Moore for

453
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 3: that great compilation. Now to another CNN simpleton, Brian Stelter,

454
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 3: who has launched a spirited defense of the BBC after

455
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 3: the British broadcaster ed deceptively and deliberately doctor footage of

456
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 3: President Trump's January sixth speech. Stelt is writing articles and

457
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 3: a slew of typically stupid tweets claiming things like the

458
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 3: BBC is feeling the Trump squeeze. It's a move we

459
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 3: have seen several times this year against vulnerable, vulnerable media companies.

460
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 3: The BBC is not vulnerable. It's that taxpayer funded goliath.

461
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 3: It's funded by a mandatory license fee paid by households,

462
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 3: and it receives close to four billion pounds per annum.

463
00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 3: But those sort of facts are clearly beyond Brian. Joining

464
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 3: me now is filmmaker and commentator Army Horowitz. Army more

465
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 3: on the BBC scandal that has seen the resignation of

466
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 3: the BBC's Director General Tim Davey and head of News

467
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 3: Debra Turness after the taxpay funded broadcaster deliberately and dishonestly

468
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 3: adopted footage of Donald Trump's January sixth speech. But despite

469
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 3: the BBC's history of institutional bias, the British left is

470
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 3: circling the wagons as Donald Trump demands accountability. Let's hear

471
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 3: from Tim Davey, you have to be.

472
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 14: Very clear and stand up for our journalism. We are

473
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 14: and a unique and precious organization. And I see the

474
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 14: free press, I see the weapon under pressure, I see

475
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 14: the weaponization. I think we've got a fight for our journalism.

476
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 14: I'm really proud of our work and the amazing locally

477
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 14: globally that we're doing is utterly precious.

478
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 2: Unique and precious. Really, let's see it.

479
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 3: From liberal democrat and pay Manira Wilson, who is terrified

480
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 3: by the prospect of what she calls the trumplification of

481
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 3: our politics and media, get ready to lose some brain cells.

482
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 12: When Donald Trump got involved and called the BBC corrupt

483
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 12: that we've had these two resignations overnight and we've now

484
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,719
Speaker 12: had his press secretary claiming this as a victory for Trump.

485
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 12: Now the BBC belongs to Britain, and I think we

486
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 12: should all be concerned, whether it's foreign powers or indeed

487
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 12: domestic powers. And we know that there are the likes

488
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 12: of Farage and Reform who would love to see the

489
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 12: BBC destroyed. That really worries me because we cannot see

490
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 12: the Trumpification of our politics and our media landscape. We've

491
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 12: seen what that's done in Americas this is a moment

492
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 12: for the BBC to reset and restore trust.

493
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 3: Army there really are terrified of any sort of accountability.

494
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 3: Let's not forget the BBC is taxpayer funded, are obliged

495
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 3: to pie for this leftist activist machine.

496
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 15: Yeah, what a grift. They pay twenty US dollars a month.

497
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 15: That's more than Netflix. Okay, I don't know what that

498
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 15: comes out to an Australian dollars, like one thousand dollars.

499
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 15: I can't do the math in my head, but very

500
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 15: interesting lot okay, but very interestingly.

501
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: If you're blind you get a fifty.

502
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 15: Percent discount, I'm not joking. And if you have a

503
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 15: black and a white television you get a sixty six

504
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 15: percent discount. So go figure. There are deals to be

505
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 15: had at BBC. Oh god, Look, the truth is I

506
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 15: learned so much from the BBC. For example, did you

507
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 15: know that male breast milk is just as nutritious as

508
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 15: female breast? I bet you didn't know that, Yes, because

509
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 15: they have so much invested in men being women. That

510
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 15: did a story on how if you pump a man

511
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 15: with enough hormones, he will creep milk. Oh god, I

512
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 15: want to I want to. I want to poke my mind.

513
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 15: Ah my god, I'm sorry. I couldn't finished that.

514
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: No, they're the worst. They're the absolute worst.

515
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,959
Speaker 15: And it's always so funny to me when my my

516
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 15: liberal friends here, they always go, oh uh, American news

517
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 15: is such bs CNN and Fox News garbage.

518
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: I listen to the BBC.

519
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 15: Oh my god, the the effect reactions.

520
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: It's so gross that the BBC is awful.

521
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 15: Let's not forget that during the Gaza conflict, they did

522
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 15: a documentary on Gaza and the narrator of this documentary

523
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 15: was the son of Hamas Minister. Look, they're awful, obviously,

524
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 15: and there's no wonder that gb News, which is called

525
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 15: the center right, the right outlet there is eating their lunch.

526
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 15: They are now, for four months in a row, the

527
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 15: number one UH news show news news channel in England.

528
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 15: It's no wondering they've failed all across the border.

529
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 2: Well, that's extraordinary.

530
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 3: I didn't know that because GBN used their resources are

531
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 3: tiny compared to the BBC, and every household with the

532
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 3: television is obliged to give them money, as you explained now.

533
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 2: Nigel Farag's Reform.

534
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 3: Parties leading the polls, was also asked about Donald Trump

535
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 3: putting pressure on the BBC.

536
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 2: This was his response, what do you make.

537
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 6: Of President Trump weighing into the conversation about the BBC

538
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 6: and the British media landscape.

539
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 2: Do you welcome that or does that concern you?

540
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 8: Well, if I was the president of the United States

541
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 8: of America, if I was the person making sure that

542
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 8: the United Kingdom had security guarantees, that meant that it

543
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 8: could be defended, whereas on its own it would be helpless.

544
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 8: And I'd been stitched up on the eve of a

545
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 8: national election. I mean, people talk about election interference. What

546
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 8: the BBC did was election interference. If you put yourself

547
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 8: in Donald Trump's shoes, I think you'll understand why. When

548
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 8: I had a chat with him on Friday, he made

549
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 8: his feelings on the subject known to me in no

550
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 8: uncertain terms and not in a quotable form.

551
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 3: I really do want to know what he said precisely.

552
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 3: But the British media army, the left will try to

553
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 3: use this to damage Nigel Farage. Given the relentless negative

554
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 3: media Donald Trump receives in Britain, they believe that can

555
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 3: hurt Forage because of his closeness to the President, But it.

556
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 2: Hasn't hurt him.

557
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 3: Yet look at this Reform, as you can see, is

558
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 3: well ahead of Labor and the Tories.

559
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 2: That could be the next British prime minister.

560
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 3: But there is just this, as you touched on, this

561
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 3: occupation with just how terrible politics and the media is

562
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 3: in the US and how much more free and rational

563
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 3: they are in the UK as they're arresting grandmothers for

564
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 3: tweeting memes.

565
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 15: Yeah, I get ready to say, Prime Minister Farage, the

566
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 15: Conservative Party whose lunch he's eating is not the party

567
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 15: of Margaret Thatcher.

568
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: That's for sure.

569
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 15: As the great poet philosopher Money Python says, it has

570
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 15: ceased to be. The Conservative Party has been hemorrhaging voters

571
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 15: and votes they and made they had. They had a

572
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 15: local election and they were trounced by the Reform Party

573
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 15: and many sort of an exit of a Brexit if

574
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 15: you will, of Conservative members going toward the Reform Party.

575
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 15: The Conservative Party had sixteen local councils defend. They lost

576
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 15: sixteen out of sixteen. That's just not going to do it. Yeah,

577
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 15: if you look at what the polls are saying in

578
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 15: terms of what British voters want, well, far and away,

579
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 15: far and away, the number one issue is immigration and

580
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 15: that's where their Foreign Party shines. The Conservative Party has

581
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 15: been echoing much of the sentiment of the Labor Party. Frankly,

582
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 15: when it comes to immigration, the number two issue is

583
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 15: the NHS, the National Health Service. That's a total tire

584
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 15: fire and a tire fire not only under the Labor

585
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 15: Party but also on the Conservative under the Conservative Party.

586
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 15: Which you have to understand for for certainly for our

587
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 15: American viewers, is that the politics in England is different

588
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 15: the American political process.

589
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: And same with you guys, is.

590
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 15: That in our in our in our in their process,

591
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 15: like the the Conservative Party is more like the middle

592
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 15: of the road. Democrats and the Labor Party are more

593
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 15: like you know, the squad. They're really become far left, uh,

594
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 15: and it's just not just it's just not getting done.

595
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 15: And now the Conservaive Party is kind of getting hip

596
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 15: to that and they're trying to like out Catholic the Pope,

597
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 15: and they have a new leader and she is trying

598
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 15: to out reform the Foreign Party, but the polls are

599
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 15: showing the voters aren't buying it.

600
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's what's going on there.

601
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 3: They've been burnt too many times the Brets, They the

602
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 3: Tories say all the right things, kind of like those

603
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 3: rhinos say all the right things before an election, and

604
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 3: then they get into power and they govern like they're

605
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 3: from the left. And now that there is a reform option,

606
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 3: as you saw in the in the polling, they're getting

607
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 3: a lot of support. Now, Ami, we will get to

608
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 3: the Jeffrey Epstein saga, but first I want to play

609
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,439
Speaker 3: you a clip from a drag queen named Ariel who

610
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 3: explains her devotion to the New York City mayor elect

611
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 3: Zora and Mamdani.

612
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 16: It gives me, maybe for the first time in my

613
00:34:54,760 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 16: life in American politics, a real sense of hope to

614
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 16: actually have a politician that I really believe in and

615
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,760
Speaker 16: that I feel like really stands up for the people

616
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 16: I care about most, from Palestinians to trans people, to Jews,

617
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 16: to just my neighbors all around your own heights where

618
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 16: I live, who live in reun stabilized apartments, the working

619
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 16: families of New York. To actually have a politician who's

620
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 16: truly standing with them, who has policies and planned.

621
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 3: There you go, who really cares about Muslims, the trans community, Jews.

622
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 3: You are a Jewish New Yorker, do you agree with

623
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 3: the ariel?

624
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 2: There is zorad.

625
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 3: Committed to make your life better?

626
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 15: A Muslim, a trans and a Jew walk into a

627
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 15: bar and that's a party. She was very sweet. I'm

628
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 15: a sucker for trying, lady. What can I tell you? Okay,

629
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 15: what was your question again? I Do I feel safer

630
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:07,399
Speaker 15: as a Jew with mom?

631
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: Donnie? Yeah? The the I'm gonna go with no. On that,

632
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with no.

633
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 15: You know, it's so way and I've missed this before

634
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 15: and it's it bears repeating.

635
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 12: Right.

636
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 15: So when you go to synagogue here in New York

637
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,479
Speaker 15: and other cities in America, but I'll speak about New York,

638
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 15: there's security threats we have. We have to pay for

639
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 15: security to stand in front of our synagogue. And during Bloomberg,

640
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 15: what Bloomberg would do is he gave us a police officers.

641
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 15: The police officer would go to and they would be

642
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 15: stationed a squad car outside of every major synagogue in

643
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 15: New York. And then during during Bolshevik Bill de Blasio,

644
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 15: he took that away. He said no more police officers

645
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 15: in front of synagogues. And then when Eric Adams came

646
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 15: he put them back. I guarantee you there'll be no

647
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 15: police cars in front of synagogues under the Mom Donnie regime,

648
00:36:58,680 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 15: and and.

649
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: Put us out all the Jewish issues.

650
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 9: You know.

651
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: Let's let's play a game. You like games. I love games.

652
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: Let's play a game called Did he say these words okay?

653
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 15: Did Mom Donny say the words violence is an artificial construction?

654
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: Yes he did. When asked.

655
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 15: About prisons, he said, Did he say what purpose do

656
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 15: they serve?

657
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 1: Yes?

658
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 9: He did.

659
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: He's a madman.

660
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 15: He is going to destroy New York City. So I

661
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 15: don't feel safe here as a Jew. I don't feel

662
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 15: safe here as a New Yorker. No American will feel

663
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 15: safe in the new New York City made under the

664
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 15: model of Zoel.

665
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:38,760
Speaker 1: I'm Donnie.

666
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 3: Well, you're gonna have a lot of sort of social

667
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 3: workers doing great hugs with everybody. So it maybe not

668
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 3: as many police officers, but there'll be some alternatives that

669
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 3: I'm sure will work beautifully. Now let's get to the

670
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 3: latest revelations about disgraced financiers sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

671
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 2: Let's start with.

672
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 3: These emails between discredited author Michael Wolf and Jeffrey Epstein,

673
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 3: who was a friend of his, where he told the

674
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 3: pediphile that he could be the bullet to end Donald

675
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 3: Trump's twenty sixteen campaign. Wolf told Epstein in an email,

676
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 3: you can hang him in a way that potentially generates

677
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,280
Speaker 3: a positive benefit for you, or if it really looks

678
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 3: like he could win, you could save him generating a debt.

679
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 3: What a slimy character, Army. I just want to go

680
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 3: to the biggest revelation. What was the headline news earlier

681
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 3: today and what much of the media focused on, And

682
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 3: sadly many people don't look beyond the headline. The headlines

683
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 3: read Trump spent hours at Epstein's house with victim of

684
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 3: sex trafficking email allegers. But Armie the victim who was

685
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 3: referred to as simply victim one with the Democrats on

686
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 3: the House Overside Committee deliberately withholding her name. Well, the

687
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 3: name has now been revealed, and it is the late

688
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 3: Virginia Giuffrey.

689
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,800
Speaker 2: Who has said before her death.

690
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 3: Repeatedly, including earlier this year, that she witnessed no wrongdoing

691
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 3: from Donald Trump during their interactions.

692
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 2: So to ask you a very lengthy.

693
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:24,280
Speaker 3: Question, are today's revelations another nothing burger?

694
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 2: Or is there something there? That concerns you.

695
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:33,240
Speaker 1: How got I hate that term nothing burger. Yeah.

696
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 15: Michael Wolfe and Jeffrey Epstein two incredibly credible people, two

697
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 15: upstanding pillars of society.

698
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, answer your question. I went through.

699
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 15: I sat and combed through all those emails. It took

700
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 15: me twenty seconds. There were three emails. Each one was

701
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 15: like two sentences long. Okay, did I miss something I read?

702
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 15: We read them, and we read them.

703
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what we're talking about. I don't know

704
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,720
Speaker 1: what the issue. He spent hours there, you know, alone

705
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:04,760
Speaker 1: hours is hours?

706
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 15: Is like going to like an event for a couple

707
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 15: of what is our days is something hours? And then

708
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 15: the other email that the smoking gun that the media

709
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 15: is talking about.

710
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: Is, is he knew about the girls.

711
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 15: He asked Julaane Maxwell to stop. I mean, I don't know,

712
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 15: he asked Jelaine Maxwell to stop.

713
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: I don't.

714
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 15: I just don't see where the smoking gun is. I

715
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 15: don't see the issue.

716
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: I think.

717
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 15: Actually, the more fascinating part of his whole Epstein saga

718
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 15: is how the hard right is dealing with this right.

719
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 15: She have Marjorie Taylor Green strutting her stuff with the

720
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 15: left wing media, and she's being hailed right the View

721
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 15: loves her all of a sudden.

722
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 1: And she's you know, she's using this as to weaponize

723
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 1: against Donald Trump. She's so gross. She really is gross,

724
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: you know.

725
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 15: She again she's embodying this, this this horseshoe theory of politics.

726
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: Right right there on the View. And it's really gross.

727
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 15: But even even more grosses people like her and her

728
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 15: ilk using this. The anti Semitism is all streaming out

729
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 15: of them right where.

730
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 1: They are.

731
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 15: All the claims unsubstantial, with zero evidence.

732
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: The masade, the mosade is involved in this. Look, the

733
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: whole thing is just gross.

734
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 15: And Cash Bartel is a good guy and I think

735
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 15: if a something there it be released. They'res nothing there,

736
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 15: but they will not let this thing go.

737
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 2: Me Horowitz, thank you so much for your time still

738
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 2: to come.

739
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 3: Why queer characters have been slashed from TV shows?

740
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:48,439
Speaker 2: Daty dune Levy has the detause. Welcome back.

741
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 3: Joining me now is veteran broadcaster Daity dun Levy. Now,

742
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 3: we love a good apology, d d A genuine apology

743
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,240
Speaker 3: when someone has actually done something wrong. And Pierce Morgan

744
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 3: delivered a heartfelt apology to tennis legend Novak Djokovic for

745
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 3: the absurd a taxi launched because Novak refused to submit

746
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 3: to the COVID shot.

747
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 17: You got thrown out of Australia over what seemed to be,

748
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 17: on the face of it, from what the media were

749
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 17: being told and what was being reported, was you trying

750
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 17: to bend the rules of getting into playing in Australian

751
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:26,320
Speaker 17: Open without having taken the COVID vaccine. And I was

752
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,800
Speaker 17: actually quite censorius about a lot of people at the time,

753
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 17: and I've since apologized to some people. I was too censorious.

754
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:36,879
Speaker 17: And when more information emerged about your situation, the fact

755
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 17: you'd had COVID several weeks before you went to Australia,

756
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 17: the fact that you hadn't actually done anything wrong on

757
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 17: the form filling, the fact that in the end it

758
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 17: became a political decision to throw you out based on

759
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 17: likely public anger if they didn't take action. When I

760
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:55,240
Speaker 17: look back on that and reflect on that, I would

761
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 17: like to say, I'm sorry for the intemperate language I

762
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 17: used against you. Because I didn't know you. I took

763
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 17: what I was reading and hearing at face value. It

764
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 17: turned out to be more complicated, Diddy.

765
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 3: There are plenty of media pundits in this country who

766
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 3: need to be lining up to apologize to Novak as well.

767
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 2: I want to say I'm not one of them.

768
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 3: I was one of the few voices defending him at

769
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 3: the time, but some of the coverage he received was

770
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 3: just unhinged. He was called the most hated man in

771
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:28,720
Speaker 3: Australia at one point.

772
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 18: Well, I'm filled with shame right now, and I hats

773
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 18: off to Piers Morgan.

774
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 7: I'm absolutely with him.

775
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 18: But I as you know, because you were on my show.

776
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 18: I hosted a radio show at the time, and I

777
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 18: joined the pylon and look for me, it wasn't so

778
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 18: much about hating Novak Jokovic or necessarily wanting.

779
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 7: A needle jabbed in his arm.

780
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 18: It was more about the fact that we didn't want

781
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 18: him to be seen to be getting special treatment when

782
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 18: the rest of us were going through hell. And I

783
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 18: remember you and I discussed him this. I do remember

784
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 18: the first time sort of COVID came up in the

785
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 18: news and you saying, look, we're all going to get it.

786
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 18: Let's just get it and get on with our lives.

787
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 7: No.

788
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,399
Speaker 18: I remember looking at you and thinking Ritus lost her mind.

789
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 18: But you know, you were proven to be right and

790
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 18: The reason I feel feel for shame is because we

791
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 18: were as broadcasters, as media figures, we were encouraged to

792
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 18: get people to you know, encourage them to get the

793
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 18: jab because that's what we were being told. Get to

794
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 18: ninety percent, ninety eight percent, whatever it was, and they'll

795
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 18: let us out of our homes. We can return to

796
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 18: our normal lives. And so, you know, I joined in.

797
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 18: I thought I was doing the right thing. But looking back,

798
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 18: you know, I wish I had my time again. I

799
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 18: did question it at the time, but I wish that

800
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 18: i'd pushed harda.

801
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 3: You were nowhere near the people I was thinking of

802
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 3: when I made that statement. I do remember those discussions,

803
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:53,760
Speaker 3: but you weren't launching into these ugly attacks against Novak.

804
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 3: You just thought you didn't want any sort of special

805
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 3: treatment for a celebrity and millionaire. So I think your

806
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 3: apology that is not all that necessary. Now, talking about apologies,

807
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 3: let's discuss the ongoing feud between David and Victoria Beckham

808
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:14,360
Speaker 3: and their son Brooklyn and his wife Nikola. A source

809
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 3: and stole The Daily Mouth that Brooklyn would only accept

810
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 3: something that is considered a substantive and public apology from

811
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 3: his parents before.

812
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 2: Reconciling with them. Did he what's going on here?

813
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,399
Speaker 18: Well, look, I can understand him standing by his wife.

814
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 18: This all goes back to their wedding when he and

815
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,919
Speaker 18: he's taken on his wife's name, it's Peltz Beckham.

816
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 7: Now for him.

817
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 18: They felt, or the couple, Nicola and Brooklyn felt that

818
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 18: David and Victoria were planting stories in the.

819
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 7: Press around them, which is look at it. It is

820
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 7: conceivable because the two of them do have a hotline

821
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 7: to the media. But I don't know whether that was founded.

822
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 18: It may have been happening through an agent of Victoria

823
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 18: and David.

824
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 7: But I don't think you can tell and Beck's what

825
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 7: to do.

826
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 18: And I also don't think you will ever win a

827
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,399
Speaker 18: pr war against this couple. They seem to go from

828
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 18: strength to strength. He's just been knighted. She's got a

829
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 18: really successful well I.

830
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 7: Loved it anyway, a series on Netflix. And I don't

831
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 7: think you can tell them what to do.

832
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 18: I do have a feeling though, that Victoria, if anyone

833
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 18: can fix it, Victoria can.

834
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 7: She's very strong, very family oriented.

835
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 18: I think that she will be able to broak us

836
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 18: some sort of a piece deal.

837
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 7: But I think it will take more time Now.

838
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 3: Insider has told Page six that Meghan Markle was apparently

839
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 3: in networking mode at christ Jenna's seventieth birthday party. There

840
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:45,800
Speaker 3: were a lot of A listers there, including Mariah Kerry,

841
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 3: Justin Bieber, Hayley Bieber, Oprah Winfrey, Gail King, and Ddi.

842
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 3: The sau said, Megan was schmoozing with a lot of

843
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 3: power players.

844
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 2: How do you see that? Because she's copying.

845
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 3: Some criticism for not wearing a Remembrance Day poppy.

846
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 2: We covered that story first here on Monday, and it was.

847
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 3: So glaringly obvious because Harry was wearing a poppy and

848
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 3: obviously the day holds a lot of significance for him.

849
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,959
Speaker 18: Well differently, and her excuse was incredibly lame. She said

850
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 18: that she couldn't get one. Look, you could order them

851
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 18: on Amazon, cost you about five bucks or something and

852
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 18: it'll be there the same day. Look, the grifter was hustling.

853
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 18: Are we surprised?

854
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 7: I don't think we are at all.

855
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 18: I find their appearance at this party looked not surprising,

856
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 18: because you know, she could not be happier. This is

857
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 18: her happy place, She's found her people. She's wallowing in

858
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 18: this pit of narcissistic, self loving people.

859
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:45,879
Speaker 7: But what about the irony here? So Harry and.

860
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:49,800
Speaker 18: Meghan detest the intrusion of the press. They absolutely hated

861
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,840
Speaker 18: that get away from us. We're terrified of the paparazzi,

862
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 18: And yet here they are metaphorically in bed with a

863
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 18: family who have made and built their entire empire on

864
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 18: sharing every little detail of their lives, who have the

865
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 18: paparazzi on speed dial.

866
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 7: So which one is it? Harry and Megan?

867
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 18: These two are so insincere, and I'm just I'm not

868
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 18: surprised by their presence there. She's just doing anything she

869
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 18: can to grasp, but keeping herself in the headlines.

870
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 3: Now before you go, Queer characters have been slashed from

871
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 3: TV shows amid a massive U turn on woke DEI

872
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 3: policies and initiatives in the US, with Deadline reporting that

873
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 3: around forty one percent of the four hundred and eighty

874
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 3: nine LGBTQ characters that were on the small screen this year,

875
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 3: well they won't be returning, with further cancelations also likely.

876
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 3: Is this the case of the market speaking? Are they

877
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,280
Speaker 3: just as our viewers, just sick of the over representation?

878
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 7: Absolutely, and these networks should have seen this coming.

879
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:57,319
Speaker 18: I mean, it was one of the major pillars of

880
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 18: Donald Trump's election campaign was getting rid of all this

881
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 18: DEI and all this woke rubbish and some of these programs.

882
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 7: They just make you feel uncomfortable in your own living room.

883
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 7: And we don't want that. We just want to be entertained.

884
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 18: And if you feel as though you're being given a

885
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 18: lecture rather than being able to just relax and enjoy

886
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 18: a story unfolding, you know you can hear them scratching

887
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 18: and ticking the DEI boxes in the background. We don't

888
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 18: want that, and that's not what people want it. It's

889
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:27,800
Speaker 18: not what the people have a mouth are so right,

890
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 18: and the ratings have shown that those shows had to go. Yeh,

891
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 18: it's the box ticking.

892
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 3: It's just when it's absolutely unnecessary and you can almost

893
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 3: see they're putting together a production by just ticking boxes.

894
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 3: Diddie dune Levy always a pleasure. And that's it for me.

895
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 3: I'll see you tomorrow night at nine pm for Left

896
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 3: is Losing It News Night is up next
