Let's now bring in see writer of 13 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 4: the Herald Sun, Patrick Carlin and Patrick with the Queensland 14 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 4: state election coming up in October, and seems Stephen Miles 15 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 4: has learned giggling like a schoolgirl won't keep him in power. 16 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 4: Tough immigration policies might and he can read a poll. 17 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 3: As well as anyone. 18 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 4: And immigration is shaping up to a critical issue at 19 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 4: both federal and state level. Stephen Miles is backing Peter 20 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 4: Dutton's call for a severe cut in migration numbers. 21 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 3: This has surprised many, but not me. 22 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 4: I think Stephen Miles is a savvy politician and he 23 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 4: knows what Queenslanders want to hear. 24 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:36,559 Speaker 1: Absolutely. 25 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 5: Look, I think if there wasn't a labor monopoly across 26 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 5: the States, you'd hear more state premiers talking like this, 27 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 5: wouldn't you. Yeah, you can't. You can't make two plus 28 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 5: two egal three. And that's what's happening with this migration 29 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 5: policy at the moment, where you're getting a lot more 30 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 5: people coming in than houses being built. 31 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 4: But yet they tell us it's not adding to the 32 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 4: housing crisis. 33 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 3: Of course, of it defies logic. 34 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 2: Of course it is. 35 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 5: And look, I think it's important that Peter Dutton's sort 36 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 5: of brought this debate to the table. It's such an 37 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 5: important debate, isn't it. I mean, it defines who we 38 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 5: are and how we live, the number of migrants we 39 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 5: have and there's not enough houses at the mart. 40 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 2: It's a very simple equation. 41 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,519 Speaker 3: It absolutely is. And the polling on this is clear. 42 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 4: We know that overwhelming majority you want to cut to 43 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 4: migration numbers, and it's the will of the majority has 44 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 4: been completely ignored and by both sides of politics for 45 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 4: many years. 46 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 3: It must be said. 47 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 4: It hasn't just been labor labors ramped up the numbers 48 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 4: to record amounts, but they were pretty high under coalition 49 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 4: governments too. 50 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 5: Absolutely, and I think, look, we suffer. We all suffer 51 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 5: for the fact that if somebody suggests cutting migration, they 52 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 5: risk being labeled as racist or anti multicultural or whatever. 53 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 5: It's such an important debate, it's something that we need 54 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 5: to be talking about, and we need to be a 55 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 5: cross in a big way. 56 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 2: And like you say, I think. 57 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 5: There is a silent majority who sort of do wonder 58 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,399 Speaker 5: we're an island nation. 59 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 4: That's one of the benefits is we should be able 60 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 4: to have a population policy that we determine this is 61 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 4: our ideal population, this is where we want to be, 62 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 4: and then we set policies to achieve that. Most countries 63 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 4: where they've got poorest borders can't do that. Now, let's 64 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 4: go to our home state of Victoria, and the state 65 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 4: government reliance on property taxes is seeing land tax rates 66 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 4: sow to unsustainable levels for many families and landlords who are. 67 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 3: Preparing to sell up Patrick. 68 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 4: We can expect to see rents going up higher as 69 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 4: the rental pool becomes more a more constraint. Because some 70 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 4: of the examples we're seeing and I think what some 71 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 4: examples from the Herald Sun today, one property owner reveals 72 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 4: his family was hit with a forty three thousand dollar 73 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 4: bill for a little beach shack they've got down in 74 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 4: Safety Beach, about an hour and a half from Melbourne, 75 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 4: which has been in his wife's family since the forties. 76 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 4: He says, since twenty twenty one, the land tax on 77 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 4: this simple holiday home has increased from around twelve thousand 78 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 4: to forty three thousand, So twelve thousand to forty three 79 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 4: thousand in three years. It's going to keep going up, 80 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 4: and we're going to see more and more homes on 81 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 4: the market. And some will say, well, that's a good 82 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 4: thing because maybe they will bring down prices, But that 83 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 4: hasn't been the experience in Victoria, has it, Because we 84 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 4: saw last year there was a report that one in 85 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 4: four landlords in Victoria had sold a property that did 86 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 4: nothing to alleviate the housing shortage. 87 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 5: Look, I mean it's not fair. It's a dishonest tax 88 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 5: to begin with. It's going to push up rents. If 89 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 5: you're a land obviously you've got to cover your own bills, 90 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 5: and your bills are high because of this silly tax. 91 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 5: You're going to put it on the renters, so it 92 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 5: rips off renters. Firstly, it's also very dishonest. They talk 93 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 5: about making up it's a COVID debt sort of levy. 94 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 5: It's paying for all the infrastructure projects that most Victorians 95 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 5: rather don't understand or don't think that we need. I mean, 96 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,679 Speaker 5: we've got a state debt of one hundred it's approaching 97 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 5: one hundred and eighty billion. 98 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 3: Dollars, highest in the country. 99 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 5: And you know when the Dan Andrews government came in 100 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 5: twenty fourteen that debts sat at twenty billion dollars. 101 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 2: This is not to repay COVID. 102 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 5: This is to repay the mismanagement of the finances of 103 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 5: the state. 104 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 2: And it's drastically unfair and very anti aspirational. 105 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 4: Absolutely, And people will say, and I know people around 106 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 4: the country say, well, you voted for this, you're Victorians, 107 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 4: this is what you want. 108 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 3: But what options do we have. 109 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 4: It's not like we've got an opposition that is coming 110 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 4: up with bold policies. 111 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 3: They're pretty much on the same bandwagon. 112 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 4: They haven't committed to reducing state taxes or what they're 113 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 4: going to do to drastically cut debt. They've got the 114 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 4: same crazy energy policies as labor. So it's top blaming Victorians, 115 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 4: it's victim blaming, Is that what that is. We've also 116 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 4: got the Victorian state government warning landlords that got a 117 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 4: rental task force coming after them. It increased numbers inspectors 118 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 4: and investigators. I've got to be performing spot checks and 119 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 4: looking into rent as complaints. With that powers to find 120 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 4: and even prosecute landlords in court. 121 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 3: I think they're sending a very. 122 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,799 Speaker 4: Clear message here to property investors invest elsewhere in the country. 123 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 3: Perhaps Victoria isn't for you. 124 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: Absolutely. 125 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 5: Look I do feel sorry for renters at the moment. 126 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 5: I mean, rents are going up, cost of living is 127 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 5: going up, some of them are getting very desperate in 128 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 5: ways that they weren't two or three years ago. But 129 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 5: landlords are facing the same sorts of issues as well. 130 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 5: And I think there are lots of laws as. 131 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 2: It is for egregious landlord behavior. 132 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 5: We certainly don't need sort of inspectors turning up so 133 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 5: I knocking on the door saying we're just checking to 134 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 5: see whether you fix the hot water or whatever. 135 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 3: You know, because they won't be abused either. 136 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 4: I mean, please now to the death of Iranian President 137 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 4: ibrah Racing in a helicopter crash yesterday.

A vegan mother has requested 173 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 4: that his son's footy team stop serving meat sausages at 174 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 4: postgame sausage sizzles. 175 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 3: And replace them with meat free options. 176 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 4: The animal rights activists wrote to South Melbourne District's Oskick, saying, 177 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 4: I've requested that if sossages must be served, which I 178 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 4: believe is not essential at a morning event, we swap out. 179 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 3: The regular sausages for vegan ones. 180 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 4: The club Patrick has refused, and instead advised her that 181 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 4: she could bring her own vegan sausages to be cooked 182 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 4: on the barbecue instead, along with the meat ones. 183 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 3: Where do you stand on sausage gate. This is an 184 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 3: issue that is tearing apart in Melbourne. 185 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure I stand with about ninety nine percent 186 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 5: of parents. As a parent, I went to four junior 187 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 5: football matches on the weekend. 188 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 2: In a netball game, I. 189 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 5: Think I would have had probably six sausages across that time. 190 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 5: They are utterly essential for getting through, absolutely absolutely essential. 191 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 2: So that's going nowhere. 192 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 3: That one's I'm with you. 193 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 4: It's one of the treats of having to get up 194 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:50,319 Speaker 4: early on a cold, rainy Saturday morning is that you 195 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 4: get a sausage at least out of it. None of 196 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 4: these vegan concoctions are they give it five years. I 197 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 4: bet you in a city Melbourne there'll be more v option. 198 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 5: I'm never going to eat a vegan sausage never. 199 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,199 Speaker 4: Okay bold words there from Patrick Carline. 200 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 3: And let's go to the Deputy Opposition leader Susan Lay, who. 201 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 4: Has called for broadcasters to support the Campaign against Domestic 202 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 4: Violence by ceasing to play Sean Comb's p Diddy Puff 203 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 4: Daddy's songs following revelations of his abusive and violent behavior 204 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 4: towards his ex girlfriend. I mean, this is a very 205 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 4: easy thing to request. And I'm sure the till women 206 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 4: will all be backing this. But I think and I 207 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 4: think Diddy should be behind bars, perhaps for the rest 208 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 4: of his life. 209 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 3: Let's put that, make that clear. 210 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 4: But I think this is a slippery slope. Indeed, when 211 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 4: you want to ban the work of artists who have 212 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 4: got questionable behavior, whether it's music, movies, paintings. 213 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 3: There are a lot of great artists. 214 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 4: Whose personal behavior has been atrocious. 215 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 2: It's interesting driving to work this morning. 216 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 5: Michael Jackson was on the radio, but you're never going 217 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 5: to hear Gary Glitter or Rolf Harritt. 218 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 2: I think the. 219 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 3: Market also, their songs are rubbish to the. 220 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 5: Point, but the market's going to sort it out for itself. 221 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,839 Speaker 5: We don't need politicians saying there must be a band 222 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 5: on this. He's very much on the nose. He should 223 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 5: be in jail from the looks of it. People will 224 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 5: decide for themselves, and I think they drastically turned off 225 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,959 Speaker 5: for all the right reasons on this particular artist. 226 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 2: We don't need bands. 227 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 3: We don't. 228 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,079 Speaker 4: But we've got all sorts of great artists whose music 229 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 4: is now being played. But we look at their behavior, 230 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 4: some of them marrying girls who are essentially children at 231 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 4: that time, and certainly by modern standards, their behavior does 232 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 4: not pass the pup test, possibly even by the standards 233 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 4: back then. So I would just I'm not for just 234 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 4: these blanket bands. I think that's just being silly. But 235 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 4: you're right, I think the individuals make those choices, and 236 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 4: no one should be surprised that if you've ever looked 237 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 4: at P Diddy's lyrics and what he's promoted openly, that 238 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 4: the man was an absolute disgusting piece of work. 239 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 3: It's all there in the lyrics. Patrick Carline, thank you 240 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 3: so much for your time this evening pleasure. 241 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 4: Let's bring in renowned geologist professor Ian pi may In. 242 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 4: Thanks for joining me in the studio once again. Let's 243 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 4: start with our favorite cabinet minister, the helpless Chris Bowen. 244 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 4: Here he is proudly standing in front of a big battery. 245 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 4: He writes, the North Epping Community battery is the latest 246 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 4: in the four hundred community batteries we are rolling out 247 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 4: across Australia. Step by step, day by day, we are 248 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 4: building our renewable energy future. He looks very happy there 249 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 4: in front. 250 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 3: Of the battery. 251 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 4: But Ian, what exactly do these community batteries achieve. What 252 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 4: do we know about their cost, their capacity, city, their lifespan, 253 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 4: that sort of detail haven't come across yet. 254 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 6: Well, I think they're absolutely fantastic. We used to have 255 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 6: a time when we all sat in our houses with 256 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 6: reliable and cheap electricity. Now we've got batteries, community battery, 257 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 6: the community batteries and they last a few minutes. 258 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: So you all go out. 259 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 6: To the community battery with a candle and you meet 260 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 6: fellow power deprevies and you sit around and chat and 261 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 6: hopefully've had a warm mill because there's nothing to cook 262 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 6: the meal with when you get home. And these batteries 263 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 6: last a few minutes. Now, the one that's meant to 264 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 6: run all of South Australia, if all the power goes 265 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 6: last five and a half minutes, that's to keep an 266 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 6: industrial state going. So you can imagine a community battery 267 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 6: and it's going to last a few minutes. You get 268 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 6: to know your neighbors, you make friends with them, and 269 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 6: then the lights go out and you can get up 270 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 6: to all sorts of mischiefs. I think it's just fantastic 271 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 6: for community bonding. 272 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 4: Well at a cost, because those few minutes of capacity 273 00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 4: are not cheap, are. 274 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 6: They Well, you'd have to sell your house soon, have 275 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 6: paid the electricity, and go and live in a tent 276 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:03,319 Speaker 6: in the bush. 277 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: But it's great for the community. 278 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 4: It's great for the community. I just like the term 279 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 4: community battery. 280 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: It's a bit like battery hents. It all crammed in together. 281 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 3: It's very nineteen eighty four. 282 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 4: Now let's talk about the viability of electric vehicles. We've 283 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 4: got another car manufacturer that seems to be having second thought. 284 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 4: Senior Tourta boss says the company is still not sure 285 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 4: about electrification and that no one knows the future. Well, yeah, 286 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 4: we could have told you that they're going to continue 287 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 4: investing in combustion engines and hybrid technologies. Evs are looking 288 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 4: less and less attractive, and you do wander in without 289 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 4: the market interference from governments. Just how many Australians would 290 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 4: be buying evs right now. 291 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 6: Well, Toyota is the biggest car maker in the world, 292 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 6: and other car makers have seen the light. For example, 293 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 6: Mercedes benz I said, no, we're giving up on evs. 294 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: They're just not economically viable. 295 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 6: They can't last a distance, they don't have the resale value, 296 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 6: and we're giving it away. Absolutely totally. Unless you have 297 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 6: subsidized evs. 298 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: People are not going to buy them. 299 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 6: And to make it worse, once you've got an EV 300 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 6: and it's been subsidized, you try to sell it after 301 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 6: you've done, say one hundred thousand kilometers. Yeah, the value 302 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 6: has just dropped through the floor. And I quite often 303 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 6: do long drives. Last week I drove to Broken Hill 304 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 6: in one afternoon, was there for a few hours. 305 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: In the morning, and then drove back. 306 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 6: Now I did that six hundred kilometers from Adelaide to 307 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 6: Brekenhill non stop. It would have taken me nearly three 308 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 6: days to do in an EV and it might have 309 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 6: caught a light if I'd hit a kangaroo. God knows 310 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 6: what would have happened. So I think we stick with 311 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 6: what we know is tried and proven and reliable, and 312 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 6: the biggest car maker in the world cannot possibly get 313 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 6: it wrong. 314 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:55,119 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, Mercedes. 315 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 4: You mentioned Mercedes because I think they were going to 316 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 4: go EV only and now they've said Noel, wait on, 317 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 4: We'll just keep on doing combustion engines and hybrids. 318 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 3: And evs until we know what the future holds. 319 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 4: But you're right about the resale value because we've got 320 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 4: a bunch of evs who are about to come out 321 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 4: of warranty, and you wonder what the value is at 322 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 4: that point where, at any minute when you buy it, 323 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 4: if the battery fails. Some of these evs, the batteries 324 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 4: cost over forty thousand dollars. 325 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: Well, that's quite right. 326 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 6: If you buy an antique car, maybe a car that's 327 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 6: sixty eighty years old, the value goes up. Every other 328 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 6: car you have, the value goes down. But if you 329 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 6: want it to go down absolutely rapidly and drop through 330 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 6: the floor, get yourself an EV because the cost of 331 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 6: replacing the batteries is horrendous. You've only got to touch 332 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 6: the underside on the curb and there are no technicians 333 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 6: that know how to repair that, so you scrap the 334 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 6: whole car. These cars are wonderful if you want to 335 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 6: drive a couple of kilometers a day and go to 336 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 6: the shops and feel morally superior, not telling people how 337 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 6: slave labor created the caboard for your car. If you 338 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 6: live in the center of the city. But if you 339 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 6: live where you have to travel great distances, such as 340 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 6: in rural Australia, or you want a plour field, an 341 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,679 Speaker 6: electric vehicle is absolutely useless and a waste of money. 342 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 4: Their ideal for those til seats, those affluent inner city 343 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 4: areas where you know, the ladies might just be driving 344 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 4: a couple of kilometers to lunch and back and that's ideal. 345 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 4: Now to one of the funniest stories of the month, 346 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 4: the UK Telegraph reports eco friendly break cables are being 347 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 4: eaten by foxes after manufacturers s which from petroleum based 348 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 4: insulation to soy, forcing owners to wrap their cars in 349 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 4: tarp hoole And look at that car wearing a nappy 350 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 4: right there. Since two thousand, peanut and soy based oils 351 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 4: and waxes have been used on car parts, including gearbox insulation, 352 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 4: primer bols and diesel injector wires. And the foxes don't 353 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 4: mind the taste of this sort of insulation. 354 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 1: Ian Well, you couldn't make up stories like this and 355 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: it's too glabulous. 356 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 6: Now, if I were a fox, this should be terrific 357 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 6: because you'd get free tucker, you don't have to go hunting. 358 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 6: And the second thing is you get in underneath the 359 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 6: car you keep yourself warm. And the third thing is 360 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 6: quite often they have a pan underneath so you can 361 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 6: actually sleep in that pair so I think these people 362 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 6: are rewilding nature by having sawyer and peanut butter vegamine 363 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 6: cables on their vehicles. 364 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: I think it's terrific. 365 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 3: The foxes are enjoying it, that's for sure. 366 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: It can possibly go wrong. 367 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 4: Now, an interesting piece in the scientific journal Nature entitled 368 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 4: the Importance of Distinguishing Climate science from Climate Activism. If 369 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 4: Bunkton rides, I'm concerned by climate scientists becoming climate activists, 370 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 4: an't we all? I see potential conflicts when scholars use 371 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 4: information selectively. 372 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 3: Oh, yes, this is all very problematic. Yeah. 373 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 4: He also writes without self critique and a diversity of viewpoints, 374 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 4: scientists will ultimately harm the credibility of their research and 375 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 4: possibly cause a wider public, political, and economic backlash. He's 376 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 4: going to get attacked for this piece, but is one 377 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 4: hundred percent right. You can't have scientists corrupting science with politics. 378 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 3: This is where they lose faith. We sword with COVID 379 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 3: and we've certainly see it with climate change. 380 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 6: Well, I used to be an avid reader and subscriber 381 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 6: to Nature, and when it turned into an activist journal, 382 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 6: I gave up. So I'm surprised at such an articular 383 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 6: piece in an activist journal. But when a climate scientist 384 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,719 Speaker 6: can show me about human emissions, then I will believe 385 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 6: that they're not activists. And what they've got to show 386 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 6: me is half a dozen scientific papers that demonstrate that 387 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 6: human emissions drive global warming. 388 00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: They've never done that. 389 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 6: So as soon as you talk about humans and climate, 390 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 6: you are an activist. So almost by definition climate science, 391 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 6: whatever that is in their language, climate science is an 392 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 6: activist venture. So the climate scientists have to show that 393 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 6: human emissions drive global warming. 394 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: They haven't done that. 395 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 6: And if they did do that, then then have to 396 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 6: show that the natural emissions, which are ninety seven percent 397 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 6: of the title, don't drive warming. So I think climate 398 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 6: science is an activist activity. Rather like many areas of sociology, 399 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 6: like gender studies, that is certainly not an area of scholarship. 400 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: It's an area of well. I would have to. 401 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 4: Point out there'll be very many climate scientists who would. 402 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 3: Disagree with you. 403 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: Naturally they live witness. 404 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 3: Well I'm not saying I disagree with you. 405 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 4: I'm just saying there's a lot of climate scientists slash 406 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 4: activists who might disagree with you. Before you go, I've 407 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 4: got to bring to your attention this fantastic piece from 408 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 4: The Guardian twenty years ago, which often talk about climate 409 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 4: catastrophizing on this show about these doomsday predictions, and let's 410 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 4: go down memory lane to twenty years ago when this 411 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 4: article appeared in The Guardian warning climate change over the 412 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 4: next twenty years could result in a global catastrophe, costing 413 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 4: millions millions of lives in wars and natural disasters. That 414 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 4: was published February twenty two. In two thousand and four, 415 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 4: it's been twenty years in another catastrophees warning that came 416 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 4: to nothing. But now we've got energy policies being designed 417 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 4: because of these predictions. We've had these predictions of doom 418 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 4: and gloom for decades, but it seems like now the 419 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 4: politicians are taking them extra seriously. 420 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: Well, if you read the Guardian, you get what you deserve. 421 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 6: And the second thing is that we've had thousands of 422 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 6: years of people predicting the end of the world by 423 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 6: some catastrophe, and in each case they've been wrong. And 424 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 6: if just one of them was right, we wouldn't be here. 425 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 6: So I think when you've got to shout out about 426 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 6: a catastrophe. 427 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 1: Then your argument is a very very weak one. 428 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 6: Science is married to evidence, and I have yet to 429 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 6: see the evidence that human activities drive a major planetary 430 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 6: process called climate change. Let learn a catastrophic change. 431 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 4: Professor Plymer, Thank you so much for your time this evening, 432 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 4: and still to come. 433 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 3: Left He's losing it. 434 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 4: Plus Josh Hammad joins me for the latest from the US, 435 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 4: and goodness me, Joe Biden has disgraced himself comprehensively this week. 436 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 4: Welcome back.

Apparently 461 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 4: these kids are intelligent and ethical crusaders who want to 462 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 4: change the world. 463 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 6: Which students are pushing against the time. 464 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 9: Thrilled to see because I like when students get mad 465 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 9: and say we want to change mad. 466 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,439 Speaker 4: But how much do these protests actually know about the 467 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 4: Israeli Palestinian conflict? 468 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 3: Let's find out. 469 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 10: Have you guys chanted from the river to the sea? Yes? Okay, 470 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 10: which river? Which sea? 471 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 3: The sea? 472 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 10: So you don't know? 473 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 2: You don't know? 474 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 9: The answer was the Mediterranean and the Jordan. What does 475 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 9: Hamas say their number one goal is, according to their charter, 476 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 9: they just want of the free poll thions to murder 477 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 9: all Jews around the world. 478 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,199 Speaker 10: How many years did Israel occupy Gaza leave it two 479 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 10: hundreds of their entire time, since. 480 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,880 Speaker 9: Forty eight is actually under Egyptian control for the first 481 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 9: twenty or so years. And then these are actually left 482 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 9: Gaza in two thousand and six. 483 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 3: I'm so they left. Wait what they left? Yeah? They did. 484 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 4: Surely they can't all be this clueless, can they. Let's 485 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:09,199 Speaker 4: see if they can answer zach Sage's next question, what 486 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 4: is a Zionist? 487 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,439 Speaker 10: What is the definition of Zionist? Didn't that mean you 488 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 10: they hate Palestinians? 489 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 2: Right? 490 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 11: Jewish people who think that Judaism is the highest race. 491 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 9: Zionism actually just means that you think Jews are entitled 492 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 9: to having their own homeland to protect themselves from another Holocaust. 493 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 10: You don't even have to be Jewish that makes you 494 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 10: a Zionist. Okay, what does antipater revolution mean? Old means 495 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 10: so you've chanted it. It's like a global call to 496 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 10: murdered Jews. 497 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:32,880 Speaker 2: Wow. 498 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 10: Wow, did you know you said that? We would you 499 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 10: say it again? 500 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 3: Probably? 501 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 12: Long? 502 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 9: How much have our foreign adversaries donated to American universities 503 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 9: in the last decade? 504 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: No idea. I couldn't give you a number on that. 505 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 9: The answer was over six billion.

So wouldn't 511 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 9: it be great if these expensive colleges actually taught them something. 512 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 4: It would be great of colleges charging fifty sixty seventy 513 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 4: thousand dollars tuition would occasionally teach their students something other 514 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 4: than how to hate the West.

They are resisting imperialism, and they 531 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 12: have been resisting a genocide that has been waged against 532 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 12: them that is only intensified over the past seven months. 533 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 12: And they've been resisting this genocide for the past seventy years. 534 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 10: Would you describe yourself as a progressive? 535 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: Yeah? 536 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 12: Do you think that Gaza and the Palestinians share your values? 537 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 12: It doesn't really matter what they share my values. It 538 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 12: is because at the end of the day, they are 539 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 12: being genocided. Are you aware that in Gaza they behead 540 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 12: or throw LGBT people off of buildings.

You see 556 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 4: the Chief's kicker, who is Catholic, gave a commencement speech 557 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 4: at a Catholic school saying Catholic things, and that's saw 558 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 4: this podcast absolutely lose it. 559 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 14: The kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs, who has got 560 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 14: to be the most sexist white supremacist I have ever 561 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 14: seen in my life. 562 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 4: WHOA, she just defamed him there wildly. You should probably sue, 563 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 4: but they weren't done yet. Won't someone think of Taylor Swift? 564 00:28:58,480 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 10: Hate him? 565 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 14: It's unbel believable that at a time, this last football cycle, 566 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 14: where all of these women are attracted to the NFL 567 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 14: because of Taylor Swift, and here's this incredibly successful woman, 568 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 14: Taylor Swift, that has this amazing work ethic and then 569 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 14: I forget that this type of person exists everywhere and 570 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 14: this this is Evangelical Christianity. What he said is so disrespectful, 571 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 14: so to such a large portion of women, and it's 572 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 14: so dismissive. I just I hope that he is canceled 573 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 14: to hell and back, and I feel so sorry that 574 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 14: his wife has to sleep with him. 575 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 3: Good Lord, that got real weird, real quick. 576 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 4: And here's another lifty lady losing it over Harrison but Kerse. 577 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 4: She is a former Chiefs cheerleader who seems to think 578 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 4: she speaks for all womenkind. 579 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 15: You know, we have several things in common. First and foremost, 580 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 15: a few months ago, we were both employed by the 581 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 15: Kansas City Chiefs. I cheered you on for six years straight, 582 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 15: and with that, I would assume we went to the 583 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 15: same pr training. Biggests takeaway is you would now represent 584 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 15: a billion dollar organization. You are no longer just Staarson Buckert. 585 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 15: You are now Harrison Buckkert, who plays for the Kansas 586 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 15: City Chiefs, and anything you say or do that doesn't 587 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 15: align with that brand. 588 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 16: Saisoring. 589 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 15: Just like the lesbians you hated in that video will 590 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 15: be grounds for termination. 591 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 4: Oh gosh, it's a little bit annoying, isn't she And 592 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 4: these ladies are going to lose it even more when 593 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 4: they find out that Harrison Bucker's jerseys have sold out 594 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 4: in only women's sizes. I guess there is only one 595 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 4: thing left to do. Ladies, go into the woods and 596 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 4: scream it all out. 597 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,239 Speaker 3: We're going to have more lefties losing it for you 598 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 3: in a minute. 599 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 4: Joining me now is a Newsweek's senior editor at large, 600 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 4: Josh Hammer. Josh, good to see you again talking about 601 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 4: lefties losing it. Let's check in to see how the 602 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 4: leader of the free world is doing. 603 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 17: And when I was vice president, thanks were kind of 604 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 17: bad during the pandemic. And what happened was Rock said 605 00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 17: to me, go to Detroit. Help well, poor Mary spent 606 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 17: more time with Maybe he ever thought he's. 607 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 9: Going to have to. 608 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 4: I love you, Vice president during the pandemic, Barax said 609 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 4: to go to Detroit. 610 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 3: What pandemic is he talking about? What's going on? Josh? 611 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 10: I mean Rita. 612 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 18: I think what's going on is fairly obvious, which is 613 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 18: that the purported leader of the Free world is palpably senile, 614 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 18: and he is losing control of both his physical faculties 615 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 18: and his mental faculties. I mean, Rita. His staff has 616 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 18: had to produce for him a bespoke pair of sneakers. 617 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 18: He has to wear a special pair of sneakers literally 618 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 18: just to walk across the White House, the White House ellipses, 619 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 18: to actually get to Marine one, the presidential helicopter, just 620 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 18: to prevent him from from tripping even more than he 621 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 18: already already is. And he's been tripping a lot over 622 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 18: the course of his presidency. But however bad his physical 623 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 18: decline is, his mental decline is obviously so much worse. 624 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 18: I mean, I wouldn't even know where to begin when 625 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 18: it comes to just the shocking number of gafs that 626 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 18: we've seen over the past few years here from this 627 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 18: pathetic excuse of a so called president of the United States. 628 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 18: This is only the latest example here. It's easy for 629 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 18: us to joke about readA, but unforced to him, this 630 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 18: has very real ramifications. I mean, dictators all around the 631 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 18: world see the decrepit state of the commander in chief, 632 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 18: and from Pyongyang to Moscow, to Beijing and Tehran and 633 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 18: everywhere in between, they were just licking their chops looking 634 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 18: at this feckless excuse for president. 635 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 4: And it's not just the gaffs, it's not just the 636 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 4: cognitive decline. When he does put a sentence together, he's 637 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:41,959 Speaker 4: likely to be saying dangerous race baiting speeches like this 638 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 4: one he gave to black students at a college graduation 639 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 4: ceremony in recent days. 640 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 17: You missed your high school graduation, you start a college 641 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 17: just as George Floyd was murdered and there was a 642 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:03,479 Speaker 17: reckoning on race. It's natural to wonder democracy you hear 643 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 17: about actually works for you. What is democracy? A black 644 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:14,240 Speaker 17: matter being killed on the street? What is democracy? Betrayal 645 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 17: of broken promises still leave black communities behind? What is democracy? 646 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 17: You have to be ten times better than anyone else 647 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 17: to get a fair shot. Most of all, what does 648 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:31,320 Speaker 17: it mean, as you've heard before, to be a black 649 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 17: man who loves his country even if it doesn't love 650 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 17: him back in equal measure. 651 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:44,240 Speaker 4: It is just an incredible speech on so many levels, 652 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 4: not just the falsehoods, not just the race faiting. But 653 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 4: you just wonder what the motivation behind it is. Why 654 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 4: does he want to put that message out there? Why 655 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 4: does he want to tell black graduates that they need 656 00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,800 Speaker 4: to be ten times better than non blacks. 657 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 3: To get a fair go, that they're being murdered in 658 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 3: the streets. 659 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 18: Yeah, this speech was absolutely positively disgusting. I mean, talk 660 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,760 Speaker 18: about how a president of the United States should, in theory, 661 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 18: try to uphold the best of the American tradition. You 662 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 18: know what, Joe Biden should have done before he gave 663 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 18: this speech a Morehouse College, which is historically viewed as 664 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 18: probably the most prestigious of the HBC used the historically 665 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 18: black colleges and universities in America. But he probably should 666 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 18: have looked to some famous black Americans to see what 667 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 18: they had to say about the American experiment, about our constitution, 668 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 18: about our declarrange independency. He should have looked at people 669 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,280 Speaker 18: like Marlon Luther King, who spoke wondrously of the Constitution 670 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 18: and the Declaration of Independence. He should have looked at 671 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:45,800 Speaker 18: Frederick Douglass back in the nineteenth century, the great slavery abolitionists, 672 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 18: who spoke wonderfully about the Declaration of Independence and how 673 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 18: this country was founded. That that is America has founded 674 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 18: out in a noble and just way, for a noble 675 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 18: and righteous and just cause, and you know, just to 676 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,279 Speaker 18: bring some kind of empirical teeth to an redtail as well. 677 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 18: There's notion that black men women in America in the 678 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 18: year twenty twenty four have to work ten times hard 679 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 18: to make it. 680 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 10: Are you kidding me? 681 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,359 Speaker 18: Since the Civil Rights Act of nineteen sixty four, there 682 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 18: has not been duj your under law state racism in America. 683 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:20,479 Speaker 18: In fact, the last vestige of actual racism was affirmative action, 684 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 18: which the Supreme Court thankfully and mercifully held as unconstitutional 685 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:28,240 Speaker 18: last summer. That was against whites, Asians, Christians, and various 686 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 18: other groups, not against black. So this was a disgusting 687 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,840 Speaker 18: race beating speech, but it speaks volumes about the situation 688 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 18: that Democrats find themselves in when it comes to trying 689 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 18: to lock up the black vote. They are petrified of 690 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 18: young black men in particular, basically the people that were 691 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 18: right there in the Morehouse College audience. 692 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:47,479 Speaker 3: They are and if. 693 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 4: They think the way to appeal to them and to 694 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 4: bring them back in is to indulge in this sort 695 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:56,920 Speaker 4: of racial politics, the speakatry of low expectations. They're on 696 00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,279 Speaker 4: the wrong track. But this is all they know and 697 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 4: that's what they going back to. But I want to 698 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,879 Speaker 4: speak to you about this shameful episode for the Biden administration. 699 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 4: And today they've sent an official message of condolence to 700 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 4: the for the Iranian President Ibrahaim Raci, who died in 701 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 4: a helicopter crash yesterday. 702 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 3: Really the White House offering. 703 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:26,319 Speaker 4: Its condolences to the butcher of Tehran, a man who 704 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 4: tortured pregnant women, who was responsible for thousands being slaughtered. 705 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 18: It beggars belief, I mean, disgusting. Honestly, does not do 706 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 18: this justice Rita, you know, tragically.

I mean, 712 00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 18: this is a regime, the theocracy, the molocracy Tehran, that's 713 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,719 Speaker 18: existed since nineteen seventy nine. This is a regime that 714 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 18: quite literally chants death to America in the streets. They 715 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 18: chant death to America in their in their legislature there, 716 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 18: and you know, just to kind of underscore how absurd 717 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,880 Speaker 18: this situation is. It's not just that they want to 718 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 18: kill Americans and kill America. They do. The Iranian regime 719 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,239 Speaker 18: has the blood of hundreds and hundreds of Americans on 720 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 18: their hand from their roadside IEDs that exploded during the 721 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,719 Speaker 18: war in Iraq. They have tried to assassinate Americans all 722 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,360 Speaker 18: around the world for that matter. But over the past 723 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 18: forty eight to seventy two hours, so what we have 724 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,440 Speaker 18: seen is that a lot of the Iranian people inside 725 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 18: of Iran rey to have risked their lives to go 726 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 18: on social media and celebrate, celebrate the death of this 727 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 18: man that you just described, the so called butcher of Iran, 728 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:48,600 Speaker 18: this man who has terrible, terrible, terrible amounts of copious 729 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,799 Speaker 18: blood on his hands. And the same time that the 730 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,239 Speaker 18: Iranian people who are struggling for basic human dimity and 731 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 18: free expression in south thrown country, at the same time 732 00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,920 Speaker 18: that they are risking jail time, prosecution, or god forbid, 733 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,719 Speaker 18: even worse just to go to social media and to 734 00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 18: express their joy that the butcher of Tehran is no 735 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 18: longer with us, at the same time as that the 736 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 18: president of the United States and the leader of the 737 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:14,000 Speaker 18: free world is offering his condolence. How about we just say, 738 00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,759 Speaker 18: we hope for the best for the Iranian people. May 739 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 18: your next president offer you something remotely approximate in human dignity. 740 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:22,800 Speaker 18: Not that the president has that power, it's up to 741 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,800 Speaker 18: the Ayatola, but some message along those lines would have 742 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 18: been nice. But offering condolences for a terrorist jihad and state. 743 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:31,920 Speaker 18: Oh my god, never thought I would see it. Honestly, 744 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:34,760 Speaker 18: just if. 745 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 4: You can't put out a message that hopes for better 746 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:42,280 Speaker 4: days for the Iranian people, then just don't do anything. 747 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 3: Don't put out a condolence letter. I mean, it is 748 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:47,360 Speaker 3: oh gosh for someone. 749 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 4: As you know, my family fled Iran after the Islamic 750 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 4: Revolution and the Islamist takeover of the country. So to 751 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 4: have the US president, the Biden administration put out a 752 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:04,080 Speaker 4: message like that, it's just like I said, it beggars belief. 753 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:08,800 Speaker 4: Now let's talk about the illegal immigration crisis in the US. 754 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,520 Speaker 4: We know there's also a crime issue there. There's been 755 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,800 Speaker 4: some high profile cases. I'm surprised this case hasn't got 756 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,759 Speaker 4: more coverage. And an illegal immigrant has been arrested and 757 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 4: could face life in prison after allegedly going on a 758 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:27,480 Speaker 4: serial raping spree in a van police have described as 759 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:32,320 Speaker 4: a rape dungeon on wheels. Here's more from Fox eleven News, 760 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,279 Speaker 4: and a warning to our viewers is this report may 761 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 4: be distressing. 762 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:40,600 Speaker 19: A quote rape dungeon on wheels, Oh I got it? 763 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 19: Described as rigged for reap, condoms, ropes, bungeies, children's toys, 764 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:51,520 Speaker 19: multiple cell phones and hard drives and the mattress. Warren 765 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:53,640 Speaker 19: steamed disgusting. 766 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:55,960 Speaker 8: And I can say, in almost a twenty year career, 767 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 8: this is the most disturbing scene I've ever been in. 768 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,440 Speaker 8: That evidence has of course been processed. Everything that's in 769 00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,080 Speaker 8: here is what's. 770 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 19: Left, investigators say, the man they call a serial reapist 771 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 19: with lock of women inside this mobile cage, locked in 772 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:17,320 Speaker 19: from the outside behind this metal partition with no escape. 773 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:22,440 Speaker 4: It's incredible that we keep hearing about these cases with 774 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:28,440 Speaker 4: victims who have been left broken, some have lost their lives, 775 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 4: and yet really the Biden White House has done nothing 776 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:37,799 Speaker 4: concrete to tackle this issue. With record numbers flooding in 777 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,239 Speaker 4: through that southern border. You don't know who they are, 778 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:44,279 Speaker 4: you don't know their criminal history, and we shouldn't be 779 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,400 Speaker 4: surprised that cases like this are emerging. 780 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,120 Speaker 18: Yeah, you know, there's no shortage of cases just like this. 781 00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 18: It's the tragic part. So I live in South Florida, 782 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,399 Speaker 18: as you know, Rita, and there it was in Palm 783 00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 18: Beach County in Lake Worth, Florida, just two or three 784 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,680 Speaker 18: weeks ago, that a very similar story. And don't think 785 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,040 Speaker 18: that there was a physical van I mean, God, forbid. 786 00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,759 Speaker 18: Those images are indeed shocking and cut to the core 787 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 18: of our human consciences. But here locally in Florida, there 788 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,400 Speaker 18: was also an illegal alien in Lake Worth who was 789 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,640 Speaker 18: also raping women, and they finally caught him after he 790 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:16,759 Speaker 18: had done damage to god knows how many souls. And 791 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,800 Speaker 18: actually the Palm Beach County, Florida Sheriff, to his great credit, 792 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,399 Speaker 18: was very outspoken about this and he said, you know what, 793 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,840 Speaker 18: this person should never have been in this country, and 794 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,040 Speaker 18: who knows how many people have been damaged by the 795 00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 18: fact that he was just here. And it's ultimately up 796 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 18: to the federal government to prevent them from getting in here. 797 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,120 Speaker 18: But the Democratic Party in its current manifestation readA, has 798 00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:39,839 Speaker 18: no interest whatsoever in trying to stop the migration inflows 799 00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,600 Speaker 18: of illegal alien immigration, because why would they Every time 800 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,360 Speaker 18: that an illegal alien gets to a state. Due to 801 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:50,400 Speaker 18: a ridiculous bit of constitutional misinterpretation by the US Supreme Court, 802 00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:54,759 Speaker 18: illegal aliens actually count for US census representation. It's a 803 00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,520 Speaker 18: ridiculous case that the Uspreme Court has to take to 804 00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,120 Speaker 18: rectify at some point. But under current Uspreme co or 805 00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:04,960 Speaker 18: case law, illegal aliens residing in states like California, Illinois, 806 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,440 Speaker 18: New York, New Jersey actually aired congressional representation there. So 807 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:10,279 Speaker 18: you have that, and you have the fact that their 808 00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,359 Speaker 18: likely future Democratic Party voter is the incentive structure isn't 809 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,600 Speaker 18: exactly aligned properly for Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats 810 00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,239 Speaker 18: to actually shut down the border. What I greatly fear 811 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 18: is that it's probably going to have to wait for 812 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:24,360 Speaker 18: the next Republican president, in all likelihood Donald Trump, possibly 813 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:25,839 Speaker 18: come January twenty twenty five. 814 00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:31,240 Speaker 3: Joshana, thank you so much for your time still to come. 815 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:36,320 Speaker 4: A transgender runner bood at a state championship.

That's exactly what the booing is. 829 00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,879 Speaker 20: And I have to say I really appreciate journalists such 830 00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,560 Speaker 20: as yourself calling out your peers when they misrepresent I 831 00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,960 Speaker 20: saw a tweet last week from the Daily Mail where 832 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,399 Speaker 20: they called they said that he was winning, a woman 833 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:53,040 Speaker 20: winning the race. 834 00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:54,120 Speaker 3: No, he was a man cheating. 835 00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:57,000 Speaker 20: And so I think it's really helpful that we have 836 00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,480 Speaker 20: this being called out the media and that more and 837 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,080 Speaker 20: more people are aware of it. It's very frustrating though, 838 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 20: because Australia really does need to have some. 839 00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:06,640 Speaker 3: Action on this. 840 00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,080 Speaker 20: Women's Forum produced to report a Fair playing Field which 841 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,680 Speaker 20: highlights the issues of men playing in women's sport, and 842 00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:15,799 Speaker 20: after the federal election we sent it to every state 843 00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:19,040 Speaker 20: and federal MP and every major sporting body and to 844 00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:22,279 Speaker 20: date there's been absolutely nothing and it's just unacceptable. 845 00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,080 Speaker 4: It is and just a reminder to folks of the 846 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:31,440 Speaker 4: gap between male and female athletes, particularly in things like 847 00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:32,760 Speaker 4: the four hundred meters. 848 00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:35,839 Speaker 3: Reminded of this stat from a few years ago. 849 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,280 Speaker 4: The fastest female sprinter in the world is American runner 850 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:43,480 Speaker 4: Alison Felix. This is from Amy Alcon, a woman with 851 00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,600 Speaker 4: more gold medals than Yusay in Bold. Her lifetime best 852 00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,080 Speaker 4: for the four hundred meter run is forty nine point 853 00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:53,080 Speaker 4: twenty six seconds Based on twenty eighteen data. 854 00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,719 Speaker 3: Nearly three hundred high school boys. 855 00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:58,440 Speaker 4: In the US alone could beat it. So the gap 856 00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:01,960 Speaker 4: between men and women is that wide, and that's why 857 00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:05,200 Speaker 4: it's so unfair on those girls to train so hard 858 00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:09,000 Speaker 4: and to have someone who's coming identified as female and 859 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:13,360 Speaker 4: beaten them. Now, we know this ideology most impacts girls 860 00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 4: and women and infringes on their rights, but it's also undeniable, Stephanie, 861 00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:23,800 Speaker 4: that it's women who are most supportive of the transagender. 862 00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:28,160 Speaker 3: It's not just young women. Listen to this. Grandmother, ow 863 00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,239 Speaker 3: Odds are your granddaughter, they are six and eight. 864 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,360 Speaker 11: Would you support them to get hormone blockers to become 865 00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:34,280 Speaker 11: the other gender? 866 00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,840 Speaker 21: I would absolutely support them to get hormone blockers. The 867 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,640 Speaker 21: idea of one of my granddaughters learning that they're going 868 00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:42,320 Speaker 21: to start having their period if they don't get the 869 00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:45,839 Speaker 21: hormones blocked, even though they're identifying and portraying as a male. 870 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:47,400 Speaker 21: How horrible that would be? 871 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,759 Speaker 11: So? Yes, definitely, if your granddaughter came to you and 872 00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,720 Speaker 11: wanted to get a tattoo, what would you say? 873 00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:53,239 Speaker 3: That would be more difficult. 874 00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 21: I always told my three sons the one thing I 875 00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:57,400 Speaker 21: ask is, please don't get tattooed. 876 00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 11: Really, why tattoos? 877 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,439 Speaker 21: There's just something are permanent about it? 878 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:02,280 Speaker 11: Permanent. 879 00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:03,439 Speaker 3: It's pretty permanent. 880 00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,840 Speaker 21: It's really difficult to get them lasered off or removed. 881 00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,920 Speaker 11: You don't think it's like permanent to change your gender? 882 00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:16,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, old enough to know better, Stephanie, how do we 883 00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:17,880 Speaker 4: address this issue? 884 00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,800 Speaker 3: Because the polling and just you look at. 885 00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:25,400 Speaker 4: Who backs this agenda, and it's far more likely to 886 00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,120 Speaker 4: be women who are going to be disadvantaged by it. 887 00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,480 Speaker 3: How do you make them aware. 888 00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,600 Speaker 4: Of the full consequences of what they're embracing. 889 00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:40,040 Speaker 20: Look, I think there's different reasons why women are more supportive. 890 00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:43,120 Speaker 20: We are certainly the gentler sex. We care, and I 891 00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:46,399 Speaker 20: think that we're more easily manipulated by medical professionals who 892 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,719 Speaker 20: come and tell you that do you want a dead 893 00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:52,000 Speaker 20: son or a live daughter? I think there are also 894 00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:55,320 Speaker 20: issues like, for example, in Victoria, our conversion therapy laws. 895 00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,000 Speaker 20: It is a criminal offense if you don't endorse your 896 00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:01,360 Speaker 20: child's gender identity, So that instills fear in the parents 897 00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,400 Speaker 20: they want to support, they go along with the system. 898 00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,040 Speaker 20: The parents we should be looking at, though, reader, are 899 00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,480 Speaker 20: the parents of three year old children who are presenting 900 00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:10,880 Speaker 20: at the gender clinics in Melbourne. I think we should 901 00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,360 Speaker 20: be looking at the influences and how that's come about, 902 00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:16,080 Speaker 20: because clearly, I mean, a child who is three does 903 00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:19,520 Speaker 20: not even understand the concept of gender. And we know 904 00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:22,600 Speaker 20: that there are some parents who do project their expectations 905 00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 20: onto children. 906 00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:23,879 Speaker 2: In fact, a. 907 00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:27,319 Speaker 20: Federal judge founder father had influenced his two children to 908 00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:32,120 Speaker 20: become gender questioning or transgender in the federal court last 909 00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:35,560 Speaker 20: year August last year and restricted access. So this is 910 00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,719 Speaker 20: another serious issue that we need to be along many 911 00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:39,880 Speaker 20: that we need to be addressing. 912 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,799 Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, I think you are so right there. 913 00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:48,840 Speaker 4: And Blair White, who's a trans woman, has said that 914 00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:53,800 Speaker 4: you show me a five year old transgender child, I'll 915 00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:57,319 Speaker 4: show you a parent who's making decisions. I think she 916 00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:00,799 Speaker 4: likened that to a vegan cat. We know who's making 917 00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:04,839 Speaker 4: the lifestyle choices there. Sephanie Bastian, thank you so much. 918 00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:06,359 Speaker 3: For your time. Really appreciate it. 919 00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:11,480 Speaker 4: Thanks Reder. That's it from me. Up next is Newsnight. 920 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,400 Speaker 4: I'll see you at eleven tomorrow. 921 00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:14,000 Speaker 3: Good night,
