Speaker 1: On scoring US Australia.
Speaker 2: This is the Reader Panekey Show.
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Reader Panekey Show.
Speaker 4: Coming up tonight, the Victorian government's attack against property investors
Speaker 4: intensifies with crippling Lantax hikes and a new task force.
Speaker 4: Another car manufacturer, rethinks their electric vehicle strategy.
Speaker 3: Propsy Im Primer.
Speaker 4: Will join me shortly to discuss that the Biden administration
Speaker 4: releases an official message of condolence for the butcher of Tehran,
Speaker 4: Josh Hammer. With the latest lunacy from the US and
Speaker 4: talking about left is losing it, these ladies are having
Speaker 4: a bad day. Let's now bring in see writer of
Speaker 4: the Herald Sun, Patrick Carlin and Patrick with the Queensland
Speaker 4: state election coming up in October, and seems Stephen Miles
Speaker 4: has learned giggling like a schoolgirl won't keep him in power.
Speaker 4: Tough immigration policies might and he can read a poll.
Speaker 3: As well as anyone.
Speaker 4: And immigration is shaping up to a critical issue at
Speaker 4: both federal and state level. Stephen Miles is backing Peter
Speaker 4: Dutton's call for a severe cut in migration numbers.
Speaker 3: This has surprised many, but not me.
Speaker 4: I think Stephen Miles is a savvy politician and he
Speaker 4: knows what Queenslanders want to hear.
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
Speaker 5: Look, I think if there wasn't a labor monopoly across
Speaker 5: the States, you'd hear more state premiers talking like this,
Speaker 5: wouldn't you. Yeah, you can't. You can't make two plus
Speaker 5: two egal three. And that's what's happening with this migration
Speaker 5: policy at the moment, where you're getting a lot more
Speaker 5: people coming in than houses being built.
Speaker 4: But yet they tell us it's not adding to the
Speaker 4: housing crisis.
Speaker 3: Of course, of it defies logic.
Speaker 2: Of course it is.
Speaker 5: And look, I think it's important that Peter Dutton's sort
Speaker 5: of brought this debate to the table. It's such an
Speaker 5: important debate, isn't it. I mean, it defines who we
Speaker 5: are and how we live, the number of migrants we
Speaker 5: have and there's not enough houses at the mart.
Speaker 2: It's a very simple equation.
Speaker 3: It absolutely is. And the polling on this is clear.
Speaker 4: We know that overwhelming majority you want to cut to
Speaker 4: migration numbers, and it's the will of the majority has
Speaker 4: been completely ignored and by both sides of politics for
Speaker 4: many years.
Speaker 3: It must be said.
Speaker 4: It hasn't just been labor labors ramped up the numbers
Speaker 4: to record amounts, but they were pretty high under coalition
Speaker 4: governments too.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, and I think, look, we suffer. We all suffer
Speaker 5: for the fact that if somebody suggests cutting migration, they
Speaker 5: risk being labeled as racist or anti multicultural or whatever.
Speaker 5: It's such an important debate, it's something that we need
Speaker 5: to be talking about, and we need to be a
Speaker 5: cross in a big way.
Speaker 2: And like you say, I think.
Speaker 5: There is a silent majority who sort of do wonder
Speaker 5: we're an island nation.
Speaker 4: That's one of the benefits is we should be able
Speaker 4: to have a population policy that we determine this is
Speaker 4: our ideal population, this is where we want to be,
Speaker 4: and then we set policies to achieve that. Most countries
Speaker 4: where they've got poorest borders can't do that. Now, let's
Speaker 4: go to our home state of Victoria, and the state
Speaker 4: government reliance on property taxes is seeing land tax rates
Speaker 4: sow to unsustainable levels for many families and landlords who are.
Speaker 3: Preparing to sell up Patrick.
Speaker 4: We can expect to see rents going up higher as
Speaker 4: the rental pool becomes more a more constraint. Because some
Speaker 4: of the examples we're seeing and I think what some
Speaker 4: examples from the Herald Sun today, one property owner reveals
Speaker 4: his family was hit with a forty three thousand dollar
Speaker 4: bill for a little beach shack they've got down in
Speaker 4: Safety Beach, about an hour and a half from Melbourne,
Speaker 4: which has been in his wife's family since the forties.
Speaker 4: He says, since twenty twenty one, the land tax on
Speaker 4: this simple holiday home has increased from around twelve thousand
Speaker 4: to forty three thousand, So twelve thousand to forty three
Speaker 4: thousand in three years. It's going to keep going up,
Speaker 4: and we're going to see more and more homes on
Speaker 4: the market. And some will say, well, that's a good
Speaker 4: thing because maybe they will bring down prices, But that
Speaker 4: hasn't been the experience in Victoria, has it, Because we
Speaker 4: saw last year there was a report that one in
Speaker 4: four landlords in Victoria had sold a property that did
Speaker 4: nothing to alleviate the housing shortage.
Speaker 5: Look, I mean it's not fair. It's a dishonest tax
Speaker 5: to begin with. It's going to push up rents. If
Speaker 5: you're a land obviously you've got to cover your own bills,
Speaker 5: and your bills are high because of this silly tax.
Speaker 5: You're going to put it on the renters, so it
Speaker 5: rips off renters. Firstly, it's also very dishonest. They talk
Speaker 5: about making up it's a COVID debt sort of levy.
Speaker 5: It's paying for all the infrastructure projects that most Victorians
Speaker 5: rather don't understand or don't think that we need. I mean,
Speaker 5: we've got a state debt of one hundred it's approaching
Speaker 5: one hundred and eighty billion.
Speaker 3: Dollars, highest in the country.
Speaker 5: And you know when the Dan Andrews government came in
Speaker 5: twenty fourteen that debts sat at twenty billion dollars.
Speaker 2: This is not to repay COVID.
Speaker 5: This is to repay the mismanagement of the finances of
Speaker 5: the state.
Speaker 2: And it's drastically unfair and very anti aspirational.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, And people will say, and I know people around
Speaker 4: the country say, well, you voted for this, you're Victorians,
Speaker 4: this is what you want.
Speaker 3: But what options do we have.
Speaker 4: It's not like we've got an opposition that is coming
Speaker 4: up with bold policies.
Speaker 3: They're pretty much on the same bandwagon.
Speaker 4: They haven't committed to reducing state taxes or what they're
Speaker 4: going to do to drastically cut debt. They've got the
Speaker 4: same crazy energy policies as labor. So it's top blaming Victorians,
Speaker 4: it's victim blaming, Is that what that is. We've also
Speaker 4: got the Victorian state government warning landlords that got a
Speaker 4: rental task force coming after them. It increased numbers inspectors
Speaker 4: and investigators. I've got to be performing spot checks and
Speaker 4: looking into rent as complaints. With that powers to find
Speaker 4: and even prosecute landlords in court.
Speaker 3: I think they're sending a very.
Speaker 4: Clear message here to property investors invest elsewhere in the country.
Speaker 3: Perhaps Victoria isn't for you.
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
Speaker 5: Look I do feel sorry for renters at the moment.
Speaker 5: I mean, rents are going up, cost of living is
Speaker 5: going up, some of them are getting very desperate in
Speaker 5: ways that they weren't two or three years ago. But
Speaker 5: landlords are facing the same sorts of issues as well.
Speaker 5: And I think there are lots of laws as.
Speaker 2: It is for egregious landlord behavior.
Speaker 5: We certainly don't need sort of inspectors turning up so
Speaker 5: I knocking on the door saying we're just checking to
Speaker 5: see whether you fix the hot water or whatever.
Speaker 3: You know, because they won't be abused either.
Speaker 4: I mean, please now to the death of Iranian President
Speaker 4: ibrah Racing in a helicopter crash yesterday. Patrick, you will
Speaker 4: not believe this. Just when you think the UN couldn't
Speaker 4: think any lower, it has held a moment of silence
Speaker 4: for this mass murderer and tortuit.
Speaker 3: It's utterly depraved.
Speaker 4: And I'll be speaking to Josh Hammer later about the
Speaker 4: Biden administration's reaction.
Speaker 3: But how can the UN pay.
Speaker 4: A tribute to this monster who's responsible for the murder
Speaker 4: of so many innocent Iranians.
Speaker 2: It's outrageous, it really is. And I'm in the UN.
Speaker 5: If you look at it, it's morally corrupt at the
Speaker 5: moment you look at all these resolutions that are anti Israel,
Speaker 5: I make very little mention of a mass or a
Speaker 5: massacre or even Jewish hostages. It's very tipped towards this
Speaker 5: sort of Middle East sort of autocracy, if you like.
Speaker 2: And as you say it, I mean, this man.
Speaker 5: Was oversaw a political prisoner program that had five and
Speaker 5: a half thousand political prisoners executed.
Speaker 3: It is the Five Trials.
Speaker 5: Yes, suppressed women's rights, There's no freedom of speech.
Speaker 4: He is horrible, absolute monster, absolute Islamus monster. I mean,
Speaker 4: if you're going to acknowledge his death. You should have
Speaker 4: a little cocktail party.
Speaker 3: That's about it.
Speaker 4: And check out this ridiculous headline from BBC World News.
Speaker 4: President Ibraham raises mixed legacy in around mixed legacy. That's
Speaker 4: almost as bad as when the Washington Post called Islamic
Speaker 4: state leader.
Speaker 3: An austere religious scholar.
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know what it is with pandering
Speaker 4: to extremists for the mainstream media is a culprit now
Speaker 4: from the Iranian regime to vegan.
Speaker 3: Mums in Melbourne.
Speaker 4: We cover all the big stories here Patrick, and this
Speaker 4: one has got folks talking. A vegan mother has requested
Speaker 4: that his son's footy team stop serving meat sausages at
Speaker 4: postgame sausage sizzles.
Speaker 3: And replace them with meat free options.
Speaker 4: The animal rights activists wrote to South Melbourne District's Oskick, saying,
Speaker 4: I've requested that if sossages must be served, which I
Speaker 4: believe is not essential at a morning event, we swap out.
Speaker 3: The regular sausages for vegan ones.
Speaker 4: The club Patrick has refused, and instead advised her that
Speaker 4: she could bring her own vegan sausages to be cooked
Speaker 4: on the barbecue instead, along with the meat ones.
Speaker 3: Where do you stand on sausage gate. This is an
Speaker 3: issue that is tearing apart in Melbourne.
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure I stand with about ninety nine percent
Speaker 5: of parents. As a parent, I went to four junior
Speaker 5: football matches on the weekend.
Speaker 2: In a netball game, I.
Speaker 5: Think I would have had probably six sausages across that time.
Speaker 5: They are utterly essential for getting through, absolutely absolutely essential.
Speaker 2: So that's going nowhere.
Speaker 3: That one's I'm with you.
Speaker 4: It's one of the treats of having to get up
Speaker 4: early on a cold, rainy Saturday morning is that you
Speaker 4: get a sausage at least out of it. None of
Speaker 4: these vegan concoctions are they give it five years. I
Speaker 4: bet you in a city Melbourne there'll be more v option.
Speaker 5: I'm never going to eat a vegan sausage never.
Speaker 4: Okay bold words there from Patrick Carline.
Speaker 3: And let's go to the Deputy Opposition leader Susan Lay, who.
Speaker 4: Has called for broadcasters to support the Campaign against Domestic
Speaker 4: Violence by ceasing to play Sean Comb's p Diddy Puff
Speaker 4: Daddy's songs following revelations of his abusive and violent behavior
Speaker 4: towards his ex girlfriend. I mean, this is a very
Speaker 4: easy thing to request. And I'm sure the till women
Speaker 4: will all be backing this. But I think and I
Speaker 4: think Diddy should be behind bars, perhaps for the rest
Speaker 4: of his life.
Speaker 3: Let's put that, make that clear.
Speaker 4: But I think this is a slippery slope. Indeed, when
Speaker 4: you want to ban the work of artists who have
Speaker 4: got questionable behavior, whether it's music, movies, paintings.
Speaker 3: There are a lot of great artists.
Speaker 4: Whose personal behavior has been atrocious.
Speaker 2: It's interesting driving to work this morning.
Speaker 5: Michael Jackson was on the radio, but you're never going
Speaker 5: to hear Gary Glitter or Rolf Harritt.
Speaker 2: I think the.
Speaker 3: Market also, their songs are rubbish to the.
Speaker 5: Point, but the market's going to sort it out for itself.
Speaker 5: We don't need politicians saying there must be a band
Speaker 5: on this. He's very much on the nose. He should
Speaker 5: be in jail from the looks of it. People will
Speaker 5: decide for themselves, and I think they drastically turned off
Speaker 5: for all the right reasons on this particular artist.
Speaker 2: We don't need bands.
Speaker 3: We don't.
Speaker 4: But we've got all sorts of great artists whose music
Speaker 4: is now being played. But we look at their behavior,
Speaker 4: some of them marrying girls who are essentially children at
Speaker 4: that time, and certainly by modern standards, their behavior does
Speaker 4: not pass the pup test, possibly even by the standards
Speaker 4: back then. So I would just I'm not for just
Speaker 4: these blanket bands. I think that's just being silly. But
Speaker 4: you're right, I think the individuals make those choices, and
Speaker 4: no one should be surprised that if you've ever looked
Speaker 4: at P Diddy's lyrics and what he's promoted openly, that
Speaker 4: the man was an absolute disgusting piece of work.
Speaker 3: It's all there in the lyrics. Patrick Carline, thank you
Speaker 3: so much for your time this evening pleasure.
Speaker 4: Let's bring in renowned geologist professor Ian pi may In.
Speaker 4: Thanks for joining me in the studio once again. Let's
Speaker 4: start with our favorite cabinet minister, the helpless Chris Bowen.
Speaker 4: Here he is proudly standing in front of a big battery.
Speaker 4: He writes, the North Epping Community battery is the latest
Speaker 4: in the four hundred community batteries we are rolling out
Speaker 4: across Australia. Step by step, day by day, we are
Speaker 4: building our renewable energy future. He looks very happy there
Speaker 4: in front.
Speaker 3: Of the battery.
Speaker 4: But Ian, what exactly do these community batteries achieve. What
Speaker 4: do we know about their cost, their capacity, city, their lifespan,
Speaker 4: that sort of detail haven't come across yet.
Speaker 6: Well, I think they're absolutely fantastic. We used to have
Speaker 6: a time when we all sat in our houses with
Speaker 6: reliable and cheap electricity. Now we've got batteries, community battery,
Speaker 6: the community batteries and they last a few minutes.
Speaker 1: So you all go out.
Speaker 6: To the community battery with a candle and you meet
Speaker 6: fellow power deprevies and you sit around and chat and
Speaker 6: hopefully've had a warm mill because there's nothing to cook
Speaker 6: the meal with when you get home. And these batteries
Speaker 6: last a few minutes. Now, the one that's meant to
Speaker 6: run all of South Australia, if all the power goes
Speaker 6: last five and a half minutes, that's to keep an
Speaker 6: industrial state going. So you can imagine a community battery
Speaker 6: and it's going to last a few minutes. You get
Speaker 6: to know your neighbors, you make friends with them, and
Speaker 6: then the lights go out and you can get up
Speaker 6: to all sorts of mischiefs. I think it's just fantastic
Speaker 6: for community bonding.
Speaker 4: Well at a cost, because those few minutes of capacity
Speaker 4: are not cheap, are.
Speaker 6: They Well, you'd have to sell your house soon, have
Speaker 6: paid the electricity, and go and live in a tent
Speaker 6: in the bush.
Speaker 1: But it's great for the community.
Speaker 4: It's great for the community. I just like the term
Speaker 4: community battery.
Speaker 1: It's a bit like battery hents. It all crammed in together.
Speaker 3: It's very nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 4: Now let's talk about the viability of electric vehicles. We've
Speaker 4: got another car manufacturer that seems to be having second thought.
Speaker 4: Senior Tourta boss says the company is still not sure
Speaker 4: about electrification and that no one knows the future. Well, yeah,
Speaker 4: we could have told you that they're going to continue
Speaker 4: investing in combustion engines and hybrid technologies. Evs are looking
Speaker 4: less and less attractive, and you do wander in without
Speaker 4: the market interference from governments. Just how many Australians would
Speaker 4: be buying evs right now.
Speaker 6: Well, Toyota is the biggest car maker in the world,
Speaker 6: and other car makers have seen the light. For example,
Speaker 6: Mercedes benz I said, no, we're giving up on evs.
Speaker 1: They're just not economically viable.
Speaker 6: They can't last a distance, they don't have the resale value,
Speaker 6: and we're giving it away. Absolutely totally. Unless you have
Speaker 6: subsidized evs.
Speaker 1: People are not going to buy them.
Speaker 6: And to make it worse, once you've got an EV
Speaker 6: and it's been subsidized, you try to sell it after
Speaker 6: you've done, say one hundred thousand kilometers. Yeah, the value
Speaker 6: has just dropped through the floor. And I quite often
Speaker 6: do long drives. Last week I drove to Broken Hill
Speaker 6: in one afternoon, was there for a few hours.
Speaker 1: In the morning, and then drove back.
Speaker 6: Now I did that six hundred kilometers from Adelaide to
Speaker 6: Brekenhill non stop. It would have taken me nearly three
Speaker 6: days to do in an EV and it might have
Speaker 6: caught a light if I'd hit a kangaroo. God knows
Speaker 6: what would have happened. So I think we stick with
Speaker 6: what we know is tried and proven and reliable, and
Speaker 6: the biggest car maker in the world cannot possibly get
Speaker 6: it wrong.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, Mercedes.
Speaker 4: You mentioned Mercedes because I think they were going to
Speaker 4: go EV only and now they've said Noel, wait on,
Speaker 4: We'll just keep on doing combustion engines and hybrids.
Speaker 3: And evs until we know what the future holds.
Speaker 4: But you're right about the resale value because we've got
Speaker 4: a bunch of evs who are about to come out
Speaker 4: of warranty, and you wonder what the value is at
Speaker 4: that point where, at any minute when you buy it,
Speaker 4: if the battery fails. Some of these evs, the batteries
Speaker 4: cost over forty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Well, that's quite right.
Speaker 6: If you buy an antique car, maybe a car that's
Speaker 6: sixty eighty years old, the value goes up. Every other
Speaker 6: car you have, the value goes down. But if you
Speaker 6: want it to go down absolutely rapidly and drop through
Speaker 6: the floor, get yourself an EV because the cost of
Speaker 6: replacing the batteries is horrendous. You've only got to touch
Speaker 6: the underside on the curb and there are no technicians
Speaker 6: that know how to repair that, so you scrap the
Speaker 6: whole car. These cars are wonderful if you want to
Speaker 6: drive a couple of kilometers a day and go to
Speaker 6: the shops and feel morally superior, not telling people how
Speaker 6: slave labor created the caboard for your car. If you
Speaker 6: live in the center of the city. But if you
Speaker 6: live where you have to travel great distances, such as
Speaker 6: in rural Australia, or you want a plour field, an
Speaker 6: electric vehicle is absolutely useless and a waste of money.
Speaker 4: Their ideal for those til seats, those affluent inner city
Speaker 4: areas where you know, the ladies might just be driving
Speaker 4: a couple of kilometers to lunch and back and that's ideal.
Speaker 4: Now to one of the funniest stories of the month,
Speaker 4: the UK Telegraph reports eco friendly break cables are being
Speaker 4: eaten by foxes after manufacturers s which from petroleum based
Speaker 4: insulation to soy, forcing owners to wrap their cars in
Speaker 4: tarp hoole And look at that car wearing a nappy
Speaker 4: right there. Since two thousand, peanut and soy based oils
Speaker 4: and waxes have been used on car parts, including gearbox insulation,
Speaker 4: primer bols and diesel injector wires. And the foxes don't
Speaker 4: mind the taste of this sort of insulation.
Speaker 1: Ian Well, you couldn't make up stories like this and
Speaker 1: it's too glabulous.
Speaker 6: Now, if I were a fox, this should be terrific
Speaker 6: because you'd get free tucker, you don't have to go hunting.
Speaker 6: And the second thing is you get in underneath the
Speaker 6: car you keep yourself warm. And the third thing is
Speaker 6: quite often they have a pan underneath so you can
Speaker 6: actually sleep in that pair so I think these people
Speaker 6: are rewilding nature by having sawyer and peanut butter vegamine
Speaker 6: cables on their vehicles.
Speaker 1: I think it's terrific.
Speaker 3: The foxes are enjoying it, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: It can possibly go wrong.
Speaker 4: Now, an interesting piece in the scientific journal Nature entitled
Speaker 4: the Importance of Distinguishing Climate science from Climate Activism. If
Speaker 4: Bunkton rides, I'm concerned by climate scientists becoming climate activists,
Speaker 4: an't we all? I see potential conflicts when scholars use
Speaker 4: information selectively.
Speaker 3: Oh, yes, this is all very problematic. Yeah.
Speaker 4: He also writes without self critique and a diversity of viewpoints,
Speaker 4: scientists will ultimately harm the credibility of their research and
Speaker 4: possibly cause a wider public, political, and economic backlash. He's
Speaker 4: going to get attacked for this piece, but is one
Speaker 4: hundred percent right. You can't have scientists corrupting science with politics.
Speaker 3: This is where they lose faith. We sword with COVID
Speaker 3: and we've certainly see it with climate change.
Speaker 6: Well, I used to be an avid reader and subscriber
Speaker 6: to Nature, and when it turned into an activist journal,
Speaker 6: I gave up. So I'm surprised at such an articular
Speaker 6: piece in an activist journal. But when a climate scientist
Speaker 6: can show me about human emissions, then I will believe
Speaker 6: that they're not activists. And what they've got to show
Speaker 6: me is half a dozen scientific papers that demonstrate that
Speaker 6: human emissions drive global warming.
Speaker 1: They've never done that.
Speaker 6: So as soon as you talk about humans and climate,
Speaker 6: you are an activist. So almost by definition climate science,
Speaker 6: whatever that is in their language, climate science is an
Speaker 6: activist venture. So the climate scientists have to show that
Speaker 6: human emissions drive global warming.
Speaker 1: They haven't done that.
Speaker 6: And if they did do that, then then have to
Speaker 6: show that the natural emissions, which are ninety seven percent
Speaker 6: of the title, don't drive warming. So I think climate
Speaker 6: science is an activist activity. Rather like many areas of sociology,
Speaker 6: like gender studies, that is certainly not an area of scholarship.
Speaker 1: It's an area of well. I would have to.
Speaker 4: Point out there'll be very many climate scientists who would.
Speaker 3: Disagree with you.
Speaker 1: Naturally they live witness.
Speaker 3: Well I'm not saying I disagree with you.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying there's a lot of climate scientists slash
Speaker 4: activists who might disagree with you. Before you go, I've
Speaker 4: got to bring to your attention this fantastic piece from
Speaker 4: The Guardian twenty years ago, which often talk about climate
Speaker 4: catastrophizing on this show about these doomsday predictions, and let's
Speaker 4: go down memory lane to twenty years ago when this
Speaker 4: article appeared in The Guardian warning climate change over the
Speaker 4: next twenty years could result in a global catastrophe, costing
Speaker 4: millions millions of lives in wars and natural disasters. That
Speaker 4: was published February twenty two. In two thousand and four,
Speaker 4: it's been twenty years in another catastrophees warning that came
Speaker 4: to nothing. But now we've got energy policies being designed
Speaker 4: because of these predictions. We've had these predictions of doom
Speaker 4: and gloom for decades, but it seems like now the
Speaker 4: politicians are taking them extra seriously.
Speaker 1: Well, if you read the Guardian, you get what you deserve.
Speaker 6: And the second thing is that we've had thousands of
Speaker 6: years of people predicting the end of the world by
Speaker 6: some catastrophe, and in each case they've been wrong. And
Speaker 6: if just one of them was right, we wouldn't be here.
Speaker 6: So I think when you've got to shout out about
Speaker 6: a catastrophe.
Speaker 1: Then your argument is a very very weak one.
Speaker 6: Science is married to evidence, and I have yet to
Speaker 6: see the evidence that human activities drive a major planetary
Speaker 6: process called climate change. Let learn a catastrophic change.
Speaker 4: Professor Plymer, Thank you so much for your time this evening,
Speaker 4: and still to come.
Speaker 3: Left He's losing it.
Speaker 4: Plus Josh Hammad joins me for the latest from the US,
Speaker 4: and goodness me, Joe Biden has disgraced himself comprehensively this week.
Speaker 4: Welcome back. Now it's time for Lefti's losing.
Speaker 3: It And where would this segment be if.
Speaker 4: It weren't for bitter, bile filled lefty loons filming themselves
Speaker 4: losing it and.
Speaker 3: Sharing it on social media.
Speaker 4: Here is such a man, I use the term man loosely,
Speaker 4: filming him having an almighty tantrum on the beach because
Speaker 4: he saw flags.
Speaker 7: And you're enjoying a nice stay at the beach with
Speaker 7: my kids and I turn around. I got these flags
Speaker 7: planted here on the beach by these mug of flus. Listen,
Speaker 7: this is all America. We know you didn't storm the
Speaker 7: beaches to stake out your territory.
Speaker 2: On the beach.
Speaker 8: This isn't the Moon.
Speaker 7: I get it, this is America. But I'm sick of
Speaker 7: my flag being represented by weight nationalist trash and a
Speaker 7: goddamn beach themselves.
Speaker 4: Magine being so triggered by the stars and stripes. If
Speaker 4: it ain't your flag, though, mate, if seeing the flag
Speaker 4: makes you so unhinged, perhaps consider moving to a different country.
Speaker 4: I'm willing to crowdfund a one way ticket to Iran for.
Speaker 3: You, something you think about.
Speaker 4: We've seen the ladies of the view keen to defend
Speaker 4: the lefties losing it on college campuses across America. Apparently
Speaker 4: these kids are intelligent and ethical crusaders who want to
Speaker 4: change the world.
Speaker 6: Which students are pushing against the time.
Speaker 9: Thrilled to see because I like when students get mad
Speaker 9: and say we want to change mad.
Speaker 4: But how much do these protests actually know about the
Speaker 4: Israeli Palestinian conflict?
Speaker 3: Let's find out.
Speaker 10: Have you guys chanted from the river to the sea? Yes? Okay,
Speaker 10: which river? Which sea?
Speaker 3: The sea?
Speaker 10: So you don't know?
Speaker 2: You don't know?
Speaker 9: The answer was the Mediterranean and the Jordan. What does
Speaker 9: Hamas say their number one goal is, according to their charter,
Speaker 9: they just want of the free poll thions to murder
Speaker 9: all Jews around the world.
Speaker 10: How many years did Israel occupy Gaza leave it two
Speaker 10: hundreds of their entire time, since.
Speaker 9: Forty eight is actually under Egyptian control for the first
Speaker 9: twenty or so years. And then these are actually left
Speaker 9: Gaza in two thousand and six.
Speaker 3: I'm so they left. Wait what they left? Yeah? They did.
Speaker 4: Surely they can't all be this clueless, can they. Let's
Speaker 4: see if they can answer zach Sage's next question, what
Speaker 4: is a Zionist?
Speaker 10: What is the definition of Zionist? Didn't that mean you
Speaker 10: they hate Palestinians?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 11: Jewish people who think that Judaism is the highest race.
Speaker 9: Zionism actually just means that you think Jews are entitled
Speaker 9: to having their own homeland to protect themselves from another Holocaust.
Speaker 10: You don't even have to be Jewish that makes you
Speaker 10: a Zionist. Okay, what does antipater revolution mean? Old means
Speaker 10: so you've chanted it. It's like a global call to
Speaker 10: murdered Jews.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 10: Wow, did you know you said that? We would you
Speaker 10: say it again?
Speaker 3: Probably?
Speaker 12: Long?
Speaker 9: How much have our foreign adversaries donated to American universities
Speaker 9: in the last decade?
Speaker 1: No idea. I couldn't give you a number on that.
Speaker 9: The answer was over six billion. How many gods and refugees.
Speaker 9: Have the Arab neighboring countries let in in the last
Speaker 9: few months thirty five?
Speaker 10: The answer was zero.
Speaker 9: Look, do you ask an education major at about students
Speaker 9: don't seem to know what they stand for? So wouldn't
Speaker 9: it be great if these expensive colleges actually taught them something.
Speaker 4: It would be great of colleges charging fifty sixty seventy
Speaker 4: thousand dollars tuition would occasionally teach their students something other
Speaker 4: than how to hate the West. Maybe then we wouldn't
Speaker 4: have the chickens for KFC phenomenon as exemplified by this
Speaker 4: next activist.
Speaker 10: Can you explain what you're wearing?
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is like.
Speaker 12: This and kia this is a Yeah, this is a.
Speaker 3: Or what's the meaning behind what it is that you're wearing?
Speaker 12: Yeah, So this is a kiyeffa. It's like kind of
Speaker 12: worn in a lot of like kind of like more
Speaker 12: Middle Eastern cultures, And this one in particular is like
Speaker 12: has a lot of significance in like the sort of
Speaker 12: Palestinian resistance words words words, wearing this to like show
Speaker 12: solidarity with.
Speaker 10: Like Palestine and Gaza.
Speaker 12: Right now, what exactly are the Palestinians resisting Israel has
Speaker 12: been essentially colonizing Palestine for the past seventy years or so,
Speaker 12: and they're resisting colonialism. They are resisting imperialism, and they
Speaker 12: have been resisting a genocide that has been waged against
Speaker 12: them that is only intensified over the past seven months.
Speaker 12: And they've been resisting this genocide for the past seventy years.
Speaker 10: Would you describe yourself as a progressive?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 12: Do you think that Gaza and the Palestinians share your values?
Speaker 12: It doesn't really matter what they share my values. It
Speaker 12: is because at the end of the day, they are
Speaker 12: being genocided. Are you aware that in Gaza they behead
Speaker 12: or throw LGBT people off of buildings. No, they do not.
Speaker 12: Interviews done?
Speaker 1: Thank you?
Speaker 2: All right, just ask the question.
Speaker 3: No they don't. Interviews done. Oh dear.
Speaker 4: These people are almost beyond parody, but some comics find
Speaker 4: a way.
Speaker 3: Here is Matan Peretz mocking these income poops.
Speaker 8: People are very sensitive.
Speaker 13: I don't know, how can you judge on the Israeli
Speaker 13: Palestinian conflict if you don't know your own gender?
Speaker 2: If you know what I mean? Yeah, you know?
Speaker 3: Why are people so upset? Used to be Palestine.
Speaker 13: Now it's Israel trans you should know that.
Speaker 4: Now, let's look at some lefties losing it over the
Speaker 4: commencement speech given by NFL player Harrison Butker. You see
Speaker 4: the Chief's kicker, who is Catholic, gave a commencement speech
Speaker 4: at a Catholic school saying Catholic things, and that's saw
Speaker 4: this podcast absolutely lose it.
Speaker 14: The kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs, who has got
Speaker 14: to be the most sexist white supremacist I have ever
Speaker 14: seen in my life.
Speaker 4: WHOA, she just defamed him there wildly. You should probably sue,
Speaker 4: but they weren't done yet. Won't someone think of Taylor Swift?
Speaker 10: Hate him?
Speaker 14: It's unbel believable that at a time, this last football cycle,
Speaker 14: where all of these women are attracted to the NFL
Speaker 14: because of Taylor Swift, and here's this incredibly successful woman,
Speaker 14: Taylor Swift, that has this amazing work ethic and then
Speaker 14: I forget that this type of person exists everywhere and
Speaker 14: this this is Evangelical Christianity. What he said is so disrespectful,
Speaker 14: so to such a large portion of women, and it's
Speaker 14: so dismissive. I just I hope that he is canceled
Speaker 14: to hell and back, and I feel so sorry that
Speaker 14: his wife has to sleep with him.
Speaker 3: Good Lord, that got real weird, real quick.
Speaker 4: And here's another lifty lady losing it over Harrison but Kerse.
Speaker 4: She is a former Chiefs cheerleader who seems to think
Speaker 4: she speaks for all womenkind.
Speaker 15: You know, we have several things in common. First and foremost,
Speaker 15: a few months ago, we were both employed by the
Speaker 15: Kansas City Chiefs. I cheered you on for six years straight,
Speaker 15: and with that, I would assume we went to the
Speaker 15: same pr training. Biggests takeaway is you would now represent
Speaker 15: a billion dollar organization. You are no longer just Staarson Buckert.
Speaker 15: You are now Harrison Buckkert, who plays for the Kansas
Speaker 15: City Chiefs, and anything you say or do that doesn't
Speaker 15: align with that brand.
Speaker 16: Saisoring.
Speaker 15: Just like the lesbians you hated in that video will
Speaker 15: be grounds for termination.
Speaker 4: Oh gosh, it's a little bit annoying, isn't she And
Speaker 4: these ladies are going to lose it even more when
Speaker 4: they find out that Harrison Bucker's jerseys have sold out
Speaker 4: in only women's sizes. I guess there is only one
Speaker 4: thing left to do. Ladies, go into the woods and
Speaker 4: scream it all out.
Speaker 3: We're going to have more lefties losing it for you
Speaker 3: in a minute.
Speaker 4: Joining me now is a Newsweek's senior editor at large,
Speaker 4: Josh Hammer. Josh, good to see you again talking about
Speaker 4: lefties losing it. Let's check in to see how the
Speaker 4: leader of the free world is doing.
Speaker 17: And when I was vice president, thanks were kind of
Speaker 17: bad during the pandemic. And what happened was Rock said
Speaker 17: to me, go to Detroit. Help well, poor Mary spent
Speaker 17: more time with Maybe he ever thought he's.
Speaker 9: Going to have to.
Speaker 4: I love you, Vice president during the pandemic, Barax said
Speaker 4: to go to Detroit.
Speaker 3: What pandemic is he talking about? What's going on? Josh?
Speaker 10: I mean Rita.
Speaker 18: I think what's going on is fairly obvious, which is
Speaker 18: that the purported leader of the Free world is palpably senile,
Speaker 18: and he is losing control of both his physical faculties
Speaker 18: and his mental faculties. I mean, Rita. His staff has
Speaker 18: had to produce for him a bespoke pair of sneakers.
Speaker 18: He has to wear a special pair of sneakers literally
Speaker 18: just to walk across the White House, the White House ellipses,
Speaker 18: to actually get to Marine one, the presidential helicopter, just
Speaker 18: to prevent him from from tripping even more than he
Speaker 18: already already is. And he's been tripping a lot over
Speaker 18: the course of his presidency. But however bad his physical
Speaker 18: decline is, his mental decline is obviously so much worse.
Speaker 18: I mean, I wouldn't even know where to begin when
Speaker 18: it comes to just the shocking number of gafs that
Speaker 18: we've seen over the past few years here from this
Speaker 18: pathetic excuse of a so called president of the United States.
Speaker 18: This is only the latest example here. It's easy for
Speaker 18: us to joke about readA, but unforced to him, this
Speaker 18: has very real ramifications. I mean, dictators all around the
Speaker 18: world see the decrepit state of the commander in chief,
Speaker 18: and from Pyongyang to Moscow, to Beijing and Tehran and
Speaker 18: everywhere in between, they were just licking their chops looking
Speaker 18: at this feckless excuse for president.
Speaker 4: And it's not just the gaffs, it's not just the
Speaker 4: cognitive decline. When he does put a sentence together, he's
Speaker 4: likely to be saying dangerous race baiting speeches like this
Speaker 4: one he gave to black students at a college graduation
Speaker 4: ceremony in recent days.
Speaker 17: You missed your high school graduation, you start a college
Speaker 17: just as George Floyd was murdered and there was a
Speaker 17: reckoning on race. It's natural to wonder democracy you hear
Speaker 17: about actually works for you. What is democracy? A black
Speaker 17: matter being killed on the street? What is democracy? Betrayal
Speaker 17: of broken promises still leave black communities behind? What is democracy?
Speaker 17: You have to be ten times better than anyone else
Speaker 17: to get a fair shot. Most of all, what does
Speaker 17: it mean, as you've heard before, to be a black
Speaker 17: man who loves his country even if it doesn't love
Speaker 17: him back in equal measure.
Speaker 4: It is just an incredible speech on so many levels,
Speaker 4: not just the falsehoods, not just the race faiting. But
Speaker 4: you just wonder what the motivation behind it is. Why
Speaker 4: does he want to put that message out there? Why
Speaker 4: does he want to tell black graduates that they need
Speaker 4: to be ten times better than non blacks.
Speaker 3: To get a fair go, that they're being murdered in
Speaker 3: the streets.
Speaker 18: Yeah, this speech was absolutely positively disgusting. I mean, talk
Speaker 18: about how a president of the United States should, in theory,
Speaker 18: try to uphold the best of the American tradition. You
Speaker 18: know what, Joe Biden should have done before he gave
Speaker 18: this speech a Morehouse College, which is historically viewed as
Speaker 18: probably the most prestigious of the HBC used the historically
Speaker 18: black colleges and universities in America. But he probably should
Speaker 18: have looked to some famous black Americans to see what
Speaker 18: they had to say about the American experiment, about our constitution,
Speaker 18: about our declarrange independency. He should have looked at people
Speaker 18: like Marlon Luther King, who spoke wondrously of the Constitution
Speaker 18: and the Declaration of Independence. He should have looked at
Speaker 18: Frederick Douglass back in the nineteenth century, the great slavery abolitionists,
Speaker 18: who spoke wonderfully about the Declaration of Independence and how
Speaker 18: this country was founded. That that is America has founded
Speaker 18: out in a noble and just way, for a noble
Speaker 18: and righteous and just cause, and you know, just to
Speaker 18: bring some kind of empirical teeth to an redtail as well.
Speaker 18: There's notion that black men women in America in the
Speaker 18: year twenty twenty four have to work ten times hard
Speaker 18: to make it.
Speaker 10: Are you kidding me?
Speaker 18: Since the Civil Rights Act of nineteen sixty four, there
Speaker 18: has not been duj your under law state racism in America.
Speaker 18: In fact, the last vestige of actual racism was affirmative action,
Speaker 18: which the Supreme Court thankfully and mercifully held as unconstitutional
Speaker 18: last summer. That was against whites, Asians, Christians, and various
Speaker 18: other groups, not against black. So this was a disgusting
Speaker 18: race beating speech, but it speaks volumes about the situation
Speaker 18: that Democrats find themselves in when it comes to trying
Speaker 18: to lock up the black vote. They are petrified of
Speaker 18: young black men in particular, basically the people that were
Speaker 18: right there in the Morehouse College audience.
Speaker 3: They are and if.
Speaker 4: They think the way to appeal to them and to
Speaker 4: bring them back in is to indulge in this sort
Speaker 4: of racial politics, the speakatry of low expectations. They're on
Speaker 4: the wrong track. But this is all they know and
Speaker 4: that's what they going back to. But I want to
Speaker 4: speak to you about this shameful episode for the Biden administration.
Speaker 4: And today they've sent an official message of condolence to
Speaker 4: the for the Iranian President Ibrahaim Raci, who died in
Speaker 4: a helicopter crash yesterday.
Speaker 3: Really the White House offering.
Speaker 4: Its condolences to the butcher of Tehran, a man who
Speaker 4: tortured pregnant women, who was responsible for thousands being slaughtered.
Speaker 18: It beggars belief, I mean, disgusting. Honestly, does not do
Speaker 18: this justice Rita, you know, tragically. By the way, it's
Speaker 18: not just Joe Biden, I mean NIDO. The official NIDO
Speaker 18: spokesperson also offered her condolences on behalf of NIDO. There
Speaker 18: were many European European Union EU country that did the
Speaker 18: same thing, but you know, for the United States in particular,
Speaker 18: it really is kind of above and beyond disgusting. I mean,
Speaker 18: this is a regime, the theocracy, the molocracy Tehran, that's
Speaker 18: existed since nineteen seventy nine. This is a regime that
Speaker 18: quite literally chants death to America in the streets. They
Speaker 18: chant death to America in their in their legislature there,
Speaker 18: and you know, just to kind of underscore how absurd
Speaker 18: this situation is. It's not just that they want to
Speaker 18: kill Americans and kill America. They do. The Iranian regime
Speaker 18: has the blood of hundreds and hundreds of Americans on
Speaker 18: their hand from their roadside IEDs that exploded during the
Speaker 18: war in Iraq. They have tried to assassinate Americans all
Speaker 18: around the world for that matter. But over the past
Speaker 18: forty eight to seventy two hours, so what we have
Speaker 18: seen is that a lot of the Iranian people inside
Speaker 18: of Iran rey to have risked their lives to go
Speaker 18: on social media and celebrate, celebrate the death of this
Speaker 18: man that you just described, the so called butcher of Iran,
Speaker 18: this man who has terrible, terrible, terrible amounts of copious
Speaker 18: blood on his hands. And the same time that the
Speaker 18: Iranian people who are struggling for basic human dimity and
Speaker 18: free expression in south thrown country, at the same time
Speaker 18: that they are risking jail time, prosecution, or god forbid,
Speaker 18: even worse just to go to social media and to
Speaker 18: express their joy that the butcher of Tehran is no
Speaker 18: longer with us, at the same time as that the
Speaker 18: president of the United States and the leader of the
Speaker 18: free world is offering his condolence. How about we just say,
Speaker 18: we hope for the best for the Iranian people. May
Speaker 18: your next president offer you something remotely approximate in human dignity.
Speaker 18: Not that the president has that power, it's up to
Speaker 18: the Ayatola, but some message along those lines would have
Speaker 18: been nice. But offering condolences for a terrorist jihad and state.
Speaker 18: Oh my god, never thought I would see it. Honestly,
Speaker 18: just if.
Speaker 4: You can't put out a message that hopes for better
Speaker 4: days for the Iranian people, then just don't do anything.
Speaker 3: Don't put out a condolence letter. I mean, it is
Speaker 3: oh gosh for someone.
Speaker 4: As you know, my family fled Iran after the Islamic
Speaker 4: Revolution and the Islamist takeover of the country. So to
Speaker 4: have the US president, the Biden administration put out a
Speaker 4: message like that, it's just like I said, it beggars belief.
Speaker 4: Now let's talk about the illegal immigration crisis in the US.
Speaker 4: We know there's also a crime issue there. There's been
Speaker 4: some high profile cases. I'm surprised this case hasn't got
Speaker 4: more coverage. And an illegal immigrant has been arrested and
Speaker 4: could face life in prison after allegedly going on a
Speaker 4: serial raping spree in a van police have described as
Speaker 4: a rape dungeon on wheels. Here's more from Fox eleven News,
Speaker 4: and a warning to our viewers is this report may
Speaker 4: be distressing.
Speaker 19: A quote rape dungeon on wheels, Oh I got it?
Speaker 19: Described as rigged for reap, condoms, ropes, bungeies, children's toys,
Speaker 19: multiple cell phones and hard drives and the mattress. Warren
Speaker 19: steamed disgusting.
Speaker 8: And I can say, in almost a twenty year career,
Speaker 8: this is the most disturbing scene I've ever been in.
Speaker 8: That evidence has of course been processed. Everything that's in
Speaker 8: here is what's.
Speaker 19: Left, investigators say, the man they call a serial reapist
Speaker 19: with lock of women inside this mobile cage, locked in
Speaker 19: from the outside behind this metal partition with no escape.
Speaker 4: It's incredible that we keep hearing about these cases with
Speaker 4: victims who have been left broken, some have lost their lives,
Speaker 4: and yet really the Biden White House has done nothing
Speaker 4: concrete to tackle this issue. With record numbers flooding in
Speaker 4: through that southern border. You don't know who they are,
Speaker 4: you don't know their criminal history, and we shouldn't be
Speaker 4: surprised that cases like this are emerging.
Speaker 18: Yeah, you know, there's no shortage of cases just like this.
Speaker 18: It's the tragic part. So I live in South Florida,
Speaker 18: as you know, Rita, and there it was in Palm
Speaker 18: Beach County in Lake Worth, Florida, just two or three
Speaker 18: weeks ago, that a very similar story. And don't think
Speaker 18: that there was a physical van I mean, God, forbid.
Speaker 18: Those images are indeed shocking and cut to the core
Speaker 18: of our human consciences. But here locally in Florida, there
Speaker 18: was also an illegal alien in Lake Worth who was
Speaker 18: also raping women, and they finally caught him after he
Speaker 18: had done damage to god knows how many souls. And
Speaker 18: actually the Palm Beach County, Florida Sheriff, to his great credit,
Speaker 18: was very outspoken about this and he said, you know what,
Speaker 18: this person should never have been in this country, and
Speaker 18: who knows how many people have been damaged by the
Speaker 18: fact that he was just here. And it's ultimately up
Speaker 18: to the federal government to prevent them from getting in here.
Speaker 18: But the Democratic Party in its current manifestation readA, has
Speaker 18: no interest whatsoever in trying to stop the migration inflows
Speaker 18: of illegal alien immigration, because why would they Every time
Speaker 18: that an illegal alien gets to a state. Due to
Speaker 18: a ridiculous bit of constitutional misinterpretation by the US Supreme Court,
Speaker 18: illegal aliens actually count for US census representation. It's a
Speaker 18: ridiculous case that the Uspreme Court has to take to
Speaker 18: rectify at some point. But under current Uspreme co or
Speaker 18: case law, illegal aliens residing in states like California, Illinois,
Speaker 18: New York, New Jersey actually aired congressional representation there. So
Speaker 18: you have that, and you have the fact that their
Speaker 18: likely future Democratic Party voter is the incentive structure isn't
Speaker 18: exactly aligned properly for Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats
Speaker 18: to actually shut down the border. What I greatly fear
Speaker 18: is that it's probably going to have to wait for
Speaker 18: the next Republican president, in all likelihood Donald Trump, possibly
Speaker 18: come January twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3: Joshana, thank you so much for your time still to come.
Speaker 4: A transgender runner bood at a state championship. Stephanie Bastian
Speaker 4: joins me next to discuss welcome back. Joining me now
Speaker 4: is Stephanie Bastian, Women's Forum Australia Research Fellow. Let's start
Speaker 4: with this story out of the US. A transgender high
Speaker 4: school runner, biological male identifying as female and race against
Speaker 4: real females, has been booed as he crossed a finish
Speaker 4: line in first place in the girl's four hundred meter sprint,
Speaker 4: taking out the Oregon Track and Field state championships.
Speaker 16: Have a look, Stephanie.
Speaker 4: It's a massive slap in the face for those girls
Speaker 4: who have trained and sacrificed for years to reach that level.
Speaker 20: Absolutely, and you can see the response on the field
Speaker 20: that people are just more and more aware and they're
Speaker 20: starting to call it out. That's exactly what the booing is.
Speaker 20: And I have to say I really appreciate journalists such
Speaker 20: as yourself calling out your peers when they misrepresent I
Speaker 20: saw a tweet last week from the Daily Mail where
Speaker 20: they called they said that he was winning, a woman
Speaker 20: winning the race.
Speaker 3: No, he was a man cheating.
Speaker 20: And so I think it's really helpful that we have
Speaker 20: this being called out the media and that more and
Speaker 20: more people are aware of it. It's very frustrating though,
Speaker 20: because Australia really does need to have some.
Speaker 3: Action on this.
Speaker 20: Women's Forum produced to report a Fair playing Field which
Speaker 20: highlights the issues of men playing in women's sport, and
Speaker 20: after the federal election we sent it to every state
Speaker 20: and federal MP and every major sporting body and to
Speaker 20: date there's been absolutely nothing and it's just unacceptable.
Speaker 4: It is and just a reminder to folks of the
Speaker 4: gap between male and female athletes, particularly in things like
Speaker 4: the four hundred meters.
Speaker 3: Reminded of this stat from a few years ago.
Speaker 4: The fastest female sprinter in the world is American runner
Speaker 4: Alison Felix. This is from Amy Alcon, a woman with
Speaker 4: more gold medals than Yusay in Bold. Her lifetime best
Speaker 4: for the four hundred meter run is forty nine point
Speaker 4: twenty six seconds Based on twenty eighteen data.
Speaker 3: Nearly three hundred high school boys.
Speaker 4: In the US alone could beat it. So the gap
Speaker 4: between men and women is that wide, and that's why
Speaker 4: it's so unfair on those girls to train so hard
Speaker 4: and to have someone who's coming identified as female and
Speaker 4: beaten them. Now, we know this ideology most impacts girls
Speaker 4: and women and infringes on their rights, but it's also undeniable, Stephanie,
Speaker 4: that it's women who are most supportive of the transagender.
Speaker 3: It's not just young women. Listen to this. Grandmother, ow
Speaker 3: Odds are your granddaughter, they are six and eight.
Speaker 11: Would you support them to get hormone blockers to become
Speaker 11: the other gender?
Speaker 21: I would absolutely support them to get hormone blockers. The
Speaker 21: idea of one of my granddaughters learning that they're going
Speaker 21: to start having their period if they don't get the
Speaker 21: hormones blocked, even though they're identifying and portraying as a male.
Speaker 21: How horrible that would be?
Speaker 11: So? Yes, definitely, if your granddaughter came to you and
Speaker 11: wanted to get a tattoo, what would you say?
Speaker 3: That would be more difficult.
Speaker 21: I always told my three sons the one thing I
Speaker 21: ask is, please don't get tattooed.
Speaker 11: Really, why tattoos?
Speaker 21: There's just something are permanent about it?
Speaker 11: Permanent.
Speaker 3: It's pretty permanent.
Speaker 21: It's really difficult to get them lasered off or removed.
Speaker 11: You don't think it's like permanent to change your gender?
Speaker 4: Yeah, old enough to know better, Stephanie, how do we
Speaker 4: address this issue?
Speaker 3: Because the polling and just you look at.
Speaker 4: Who backs this agenda, and it's far more likely to
Speaker 4: be women who are going to be disadvantaged by it.
Speaker 3: How do you make them aware.
Speaker 4: Of the full consequences of what they're embracing.
Speaker 20: Look, I think there's different reasons why women are more supportive.
Speaker 20: We are certainly the gentler sex. We care, and I
Speaker 20: think that we're more easily manipulated by medical professionals who
Speaker 20: come and tell you that do you want a dead
Speaker 20: son or a live daughter? I think there are also
Speaker 20: issues like, for example, in Victoria, our conversion therapy laws.
Speaker 20: It is a criminal offense if you don't endorse your
Speaker 20: child's gender identity, So that instills fear in the parents
Speaker 20: they want to support, they go along with the system.
Speaker 20: The parents we should be looking at, though, reader, are
Speaker 20: the parents of three year old children who are presenting
Speaker 20: at the gender clinics in Melbourne. I think we should
Speaker 20: be looking at the influences and how that's come about,
Speaker 20: because clearly, I mean, a child who is three does
Speaker 20: not even understand the concept of gender. And we know
Speaker 20: that there are some parents who do project their expectations
Speaker 20: onto children.
Speaker 2: In fact, a.
Speaker 20: Federal judge founder father had influenced his two children to
Speaker 20: become gender questioning or transgender in the federal court last
Speaker 20: year August last year and restricted access. So this is
Speaker 20: another serious issue that we need to be along many
Speaker 20: that we need to be addressing.
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, I think you are so right there.
Speaker 4: And Blair White, who's a trans woman, has said that
Speaker 4: you show me a five year old transgender child, I'll
Speaker 4: show you a parent who's making decisions. I think she
Speaker 4: likened that to a vegan cat. We know who's making
Speaker 4: the lifestyle choices there. Sephanie Bastian, thank you so much.
Speaker 3: For your time. Really appreciate it.
Speaker 4: Thanks Reder. That's it from me. Up next is Newsnight.
Speaker 4: I'll see you at eleven tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Good night,
