Speaker 1: Late Welcome to the late Base.
Speaker 2: Good evening, everybody, and welcome to the not so late Debate.
Speaker 2: I'm Liz Storre and I'm so glad you're here tonight.
Speaker 3: Joining me on the desk is.
Speaker 2: None other than Joe Hildebrand and Gabriella Power, so you
Speaker 2: know you're in for a good time. Coming up later
Speaker 2: in the show tonight, Tim Pallace, inarguably the worst treasurer
Speaker 2: Victoria has ever seen.
Speaker 3: Decides to quit.
Speaker 2: He ended down his worst budget on Friday, and on
Speaker 2: Monday he decides, you know what, I'm out of here.
Speaker 3: Good luck living in the rubble that I created for you.
Speaker 2: Also coming up in the show tonight, an Indian cricket
Speaker 2: commentator gets in trouble for being racist.
Speaker 3: Towards an Indian cricketer. Will unpack that for you because
Speaker 3: it's as confusing as it sounds.
Speaker 2: Later on and outgoing first Lady Old Biden gets told
Speaker 2: off by a kid for saying Happy Holidays instead of
Speaker 2: Merry Christmas. But first to the States, where, unless you're
Speaker 2: living under a rock, you would have seen all this
Speaker 2: conundrum about drones.
Speaker 3: Are we under attack? Is it Iran? Is it Russia?
Speaker 3: Maybe it's China.
Speaker 2: We're told that flocks of up to fifty drones are
Speaker 2: being seen in New Jersey, in Maryland, in Virginia, over
Speaker 2: these major cities and in some cases military bases. So
Speaker 2: the theories as to what's really going.
Speaker 3: On are absolutely running rife.
Speaker 2: So CNN decides to get an aviation specialist on board
Speaker 2: to explain to everyone, calm down the nation and tell
Speaker 2: us what's actually going on.
Speaker 4: What I'm hearing that from FBI is we don't see
Speaker 4: a threat here. And look, honestly, every video I've seen,
Speaker 4: and I've spent the last couple of days looking at
Speaker 4: every one of these videos video I have seen on
Speaker 4: Twitter on the Internet are all airplanes.
Speaker 5: They're literally all airplanes.
Speaker 4: Some of them will show an airplane that's kind of
Speaker 4: stable out there and says that's a drone, And actually
Speaker 4: it's an airplane flying towards you at thirty thousand feet
Speaker 4: and I can see the lighting on it. And if
Speaker 4: there are drones out there, by the way, and if
Speaker 4: any of these pictures that they have shown are actual drones,
Speaker 4: these drones then are complying with FAA lighting requirements, agreeing
Speaker 4: on the right a red on the left with a
Speaker 4: strobe and so it's not a ron, it's not aliens.
Speaker 4: If there are drones, my guess is if there are
Speaker 4: drones again, because again all I've seen are airplanes, then
Speaker 4: it is more than likely some company that's out testing
Speaker 4: drones or something like that and has no requirement to
Speaker 4: tell the public that they're doing it, because they're actually
Speaker 4: operating these things legally. There have been no accusations of
Speaker 4: illegal operations.
Speaker 2: Don't believe you're lying on Zee says they're just airplanes.
Speaker 3: Can't people see that?
Speaker 2: To which eternal troll Elon Musk helpfully shared is graphic
Speaker 2: of different types of airplanes, clearly inferring.
Speaker 3: Okay, which one.
Speaker 6: Is it that people are supposedly.
Speaker 2: Mistaken for drones? And why is it The three thousand
Speaker 2: people in New Jersey have absolutely flooded the hotline, very
Speaker 2: concerned about these masses of drones that they're seeing over
Speaker 2: New Jersey. Well, there's another expert. His name is Mayorcus
Speaker 2: and he is the Secretary of Homeland Security. He's in
Speaker 2: the government. He's got to know what's going on.
Speaker 7: There are thousands of drones flown every day in the
Speaker 7: United States, recreational drones, commercial drones, that is the reality.
Speaker 7: And in September of twenty twenty three, the Federal Aviation Administration,
Speaker 7: the FAA changed the rules so that drones could fly
Speaker 7: at night, and that may be one of the reasons
Speaker 7: why now people are seeing more drones than they did before,
Speaker 7: especially from dawn to dusk. And so that is the reality.
Speaker 7: But I want to assure the American public that we
Speaker 7: are on it.
Speaker 2: I want to assure the American people we are on it.
Speaker 2: We have absolutely no idea where they've come from or
Speaker 2: what they're doing.
Speaker 5: We don't know what it is.
Speaker 3: We are on that PA control.
Speaker 5: I love this so much.
Speaker 8: Okay, firstly, if the CN guy has found out through
Speaker 8: his own extensive online investigations, he was just all airlines,
Speaker 8: They're just all airplanes. Can you tell the FBI one
Speaker 8: in the government seems to know what I don't know anything.
Speaker 8: I love how he's saying, like, yes, my sources from
Speaker 8: what I'm hearing in the FBI, there's no threat to
Speaker 8: publicer what the FBI is saying, the public statements that
Speaker 8: media release.
Speaker 5: He's pretending he's got a deep throat.
Speaker 3: What is this called?
Speaker 8: And then and then of course you've got the guy
Speaker 8: who says, oh, you know, this is all just you know,
Speaker 8: perfectly naturally, there's nothing to say here, there's you know,
Speaker 8: we've made we made flying drones legal at night in
Speaker 8: September twenty twenty three, so.
Speaker 5: It makes absolute perfect.
Speaker 8: Sense that they would suddenly all come out in December
Speaker 8: twenty twenty four.
Speaker 5: What is it Santa's Christmas slanting?
Speaker 8: Yeah, like this is the thing, like all these people say, oh, no,
Speaker 8: it's just If it's just that, then why isn't the
Speaker 8: person doing that? Like surely, like does air do aerospace
Speaker 8: officials in the US.
Speaker 5: Not know where all the airplanes are is?
Speaker 8: And there's someone in I don't know, let me think
Speaker 8: a tower of some description that could maybe control the
Speaker 8: flight patterns of aircraft, like a control tower. Maybe they
Speaker 8: could then say, yes, all these drones that people are
Speaker 8: seeing actually fit the exact pattern on our radar screens
Speaker 8: that we are directing, because that's what we do.
Speaker 5: We're a control tower.
Speaker 7: We are a.
Speaker 8: Tower that controls air traffic. But no one seems to
Speaker 8: be saying that. And then of course and go, I'm
Speaker 8: so sorry, Gavid then say that says, oh, but there
Speaker 8: are one hundred percent definitely all airplanes but if they're not,
Speaker 8: I'm okay, So they're not all air crisis they are.
Speaker 8: If they're not, there's obviously just some company that has
Speaker 8: decided to yeah, a whole.
Speaker 5: Bunch of drawns at not and.
Speaker 9: They come there covering like high Amazon.
Speaker 8: They've got a company that just a million drones in
Speaker 8: New Jersey.
Speaker 3: What is going on?
Speaker 5: But it answers.
Speaker 2: I think everyone is very anxious to see a real
Speaker 2: man back in the White House. Because of course, this
Speaker 2: is Trump's reaction to seeing these armies of drones descending
Speaker 2: on really important cities and in some cases military bases.
Speaker 2: He takes the truth social to write mystery drone sightings
Speaker 2: over the country. Can this really be happening without our
Speaker 2: government's knowledge?
Speaker 3: I don't think so.
Speaker 2: Let the public know and now otherwise shoot them down.
Speaker 3: I reckon. This guy's probably got.
Speaker 2: A legion of these bad boy drones, which we'll get
Speaker 2: up on the screen for you right now. Just to
Speaker 2: unleash upon these unregistered, unknown drones and unleash just just
Speaker 2: just shoot them all down.
Speaker 3: Here's a Trump looking drone.
Speaker 2: Everyone's like, yes, unleash the Trump drones.
Speaker 3: Gammy, what do you mean?
Speaker 10: Oh my gosh, Well, look how look at the difference
Speaker 10: in messaging. You've got Trump saying shoot them down, then
Speaker 10: you've got Mayorkas saying we're on to it, it's all good,
Speaker 10: and gas lighting, blaming the FAA, the Federal Aviation Administration,
Speaker 10: and you know, and that's how's that expert from scene
Speaker 10: and calling an aeroplane And there are drones that are
Speaker 10: reportedly the size of SUV's sending the people in New
Speaker 10: Jersey just absolutely crazy not knowing what's going on, and
Speaker 10: the comment this has not been transparented all about this thing.
Speaker 10: You're going down rabbit holes on X with all the
Speaker 10: different wild theories out there. Aliens is getting a good
Speaker 10: run on X as well. But you know, I think
Speaker 10: everyone's so excited to see Trump back in the White
Speaker 10: House and actually getting some action because.
Speaker 11: We need to know what they are. If we don't
Speaker 11: know what they are, Trump's got a point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we wouldn't even still be talking about it if
Speaker 2: Trump were in the White House.
Speaker 3: These things would be dead and buried all over the
Speaker 3: United States.
Speaker 2: But here's a theory for you by a guy called
Speaker 2: John Ferguson. He actually creates very sophisticated drones for the
Speaker 2: government's military so he knows a thing or two, and
Speaker 2: he took to Twitter and other social pages to let
Speaker 2: people know, Look, this is just my theory of what's
Speaker 2: going on here, and also speaking to the fact that
Speaker 2: he doesn't believe they're doing anything nefarious.
Speaker 3: Have a listen.
Speaker 12: Back in the nineteen eighties, Ronald Reagan had dismantled the
Speaker 12: nuclear program, and there were with Russia, there were countless
Speaker 12: nuclear missiles that were disarmed and disposed of. Well, there
Speaker 12: were over eighty. I believe there were over eighty nuclear
Speaker 12: warheads that were in Ukraine that came up missing. Okay,
Speaker 12: we don't know where they are. Maybe somebody does, but
Speaker 12: nobody really knows where these are. I spoke to a
Speaker 12: gentleman a few months ago who was trying to raise
Speaker 12: an alarm to the highest levels of our government, which
Speaker 12: they had their ears closed about this one particular nuclear
Speaker 12: warhead that he physically put his hands on. He physically
Speaker 12: touched this warhead that was left over from Ukraine, and
Speaker 12: he knew that that thing was headed towards the United States. Okay,
Speaker 12: that is a very serious deal.
Speaker 2: People in the knowing stuff and sharing it now because
Speaker 2: we have these wonderful platforms in which every day said
Speaker 2: can just say, look, here's what I know, do with
Speaker 2: it what you will.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: John Ferguson goes on to explain that there is absolutely
Speaker 2: no use of flying a drone at night because they're
Speaker 2: blind as bats, unless they're outfitted with infrared capabilities, which
Speaker 2: would make it a very serious drone. Indeed, he says
Speaker 2: there's only one reason for drones to be flying at night.
Speaker 3: Here's his explanation as to what he thinks.
Speaker 11: They're up to.
Speaker 12: My own guess is that these drones are not nefarious
Speaker 12: and intent. But if they are are drones, the only
Speaker 12: reason why they would be flying and flying that low
Speaker 12: is because they're trying to smell something on the ground.
Speaker 5: That's it.
Speaker 12: There's no other reason for a drone be flying in
Speaker 12: the air. So my belief, as they're trying to smell
Speaker 12: something on the ground, gas leagues, radioactive material.
Speaker 2: They're trying to find this war According to John Ferguson,
Speaker 2: let's see time will tell.
Speaker 3: But what is presidentis Biden.
Speaker 8: Is let's just assume that it's either aliens or drones
Speaker 8: trying to find a lost nuclear warhead from the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 3: Any thing about I know that's believed that's going viral.
Speaker 10: It's getting shared sixteen million times now way Rogan has
Speaker 10: shared it.
Speaker 11: But look, let's getting.
Speaker 10: Some ants, some explanation from an expert about what possibly.
Speaker 11: It could be.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and that would also explain why the government doesn't
Speaker 2: want to tell anybody about it. But what's Joe Biden
Speaker 2: doing While the country's obsessing over drones and what they're
Speaker 2: up to flying over all these mysterious locations, He's busy
Speaker 2: handling out the biggest pardon heyday in US history. He
Speaker 2: has commuted roughly fifteen hundred sentences and pardoned thirty nine
Speaker 2: people in the biggest single day act of clemency.
Speaker 3: Here's this help for.
Speaker 2: Graft just to show you how he has blown every
Speaker 2: other former president out of the water with regards to
Speaker 2: how many of these he's handed out.
Speaker 3: But wait, there's more.
Speaker 2: He says he's still going to keep reviewing these askings
Speaker 2: for clemencys.
Speaker 3: So it indicates that he's not done. So let's take
Speaker 3: a quick look at these deserving recipients that he.
Speaker 5: Believe monochron monoc.
Speaker 2: Just you know, bit pieces, people who are clearly handed
Speaker 2: down really unfair sentences. And so now he's seen fit
Speaker 2: just to give him a slap on the wrist. No,
Speaker 2: this is absolutely blood curdling reading.
Speaker 3: First, we have an ex doctor pardoned.
Speaker 2: This was a doctor who defrauded cancer patients by not
Speaker 2: providing them with their full prescription of chemo while billing
Speaker 2: Medicaid for millions of dollars. Yeah, sure, that sounds like
Speaker 2: someone who deserves clements.
Speaker 3: See.
Speaker 2: Then there's an inbezzler, an embezzler who was pardoned after
Speaker 2: they ripped off the city of Dixon for over twenty
Speaker 2: two years to the tune of fifty three million dollars.
Speaker 2: The DOJ described it as quote the largest theft of
Speaker 2: public funds in state history. Really, she deserves clemency. And
Speaker 2: let's not forget the kids for cash judge, Yes, who
Speaker 2: was pocketing millions in kickbacks for reward for how many
Speaker 2: black kids they could send to jail. And that's to
Speaker 2: say nothing of the Chinese national who was caught with
Speaker 2: forty seven thousand images of child pornography. Clearly deserves clemency.
Speaker 2: I'm sure there are changed individual now, Gabby. This is
Speaker 2: just four of thirty nine pardoned individuals. Biden has said
Speaker 2: he's not done yet.
Speaker 3: There's more to come.
Speaker 2: Someone needs to go through this with a fine tooth
Speaker 2: comb and find out who these people are and why
Speaker 2: exactly they deserve to walk free.
Speaker 10: Well, I think what we need to remember is Joe
Speaker 10: Biden doesn't know what day it is, just a couple
Speaker 10: of weeks ago, who was sleeping for two minutes in
Speaker 10: the middle of a meeting while he was in Africa.
Speaker 10: So who is in Joe Biden's ear at the moment
Speaker 10: and suggesting that this is a really good idea. And
Speaker 10: it's just extraordinary when you think about what power that
Speaker 10: these presidents have to pardon someone, just give people get
Speaker 10: out of jail free cards essentially. And if you look
Speaker 10: at the sign oh yeah, of course, don't forget Hunter,
Speaker 10: but crazy you look at the numbers at George W. Bush,
Speaker 10: you only pardoned two hundred people, Donald Trump just over
Speaker 10: two hundred, and then Joe Biden fifteen hundred people.
Speaker 11: And as you say, you've pointing out.
Speaker 10: Some of those that he is partying look, including Hunter, or.
Speaker 8: Even just the physical act of doing that. I find
Speaker 8: it difficult to get my head around, like even just
Speaker 8: signing fifteen hundred, one thousand, five hundred times, like I've
Speaker 8: done a few book signings. Not many people showed up,
Speaker 8: but after about ten, you know, you start to notice it.
Speaker 8: But fifteen hundred and again, are we assuming that he's
Speaker 8: read all the sort of paperwork you would read, okay,
Speaker 8: oh yeah, and they said sorry, oh and now they've
Speaker 8: converted to Christian. Oh that's nice, and then you're doing that.
Speaker 8: There is no way, surely, and he says he's not
Speaker 8: done yet. There's no way that there could be any
Speaker 8: kind of due diligence at his level for that amount,
Speaker 8: which is not to say that he's you know, I mean,
Speaker 8: he's obviously you know, functioning somewhere between a sort of caple.
Speaker 3: But he's just signing.
Speaker 2: Somebody else has put this together. And you wonder who
Speaker 2: else is buried in this long list of people who now.
Speaker 3: Just walk scott free.
Speaker 2: How many of his mates and what were they guilty
Speaker 2: of that they now just get to live large? Levita
Speaker 2: Loca tell you who we haven't seen the last of though,
Speaker 2: is VP Kamala Harris. You would have thought after that
Speaker 2: dreadful loss she blew over a billion dollars, dreadful loss.
Speaker 3: To truck crack.
Speaker 8: For stealing a billion dollars, absolutely nothing to show for it.
Speaker 5: That's what it's sorking.
Speaker 2: But apparently she's got her sight set on becoming a
Speaker 2: California governor.
Speaker 3: His CNN on.
Speaker 8: That that was what the likelihood is of Harri's running
Speaker 8: for governor.
Speaker 1: What she's been saying to people over the last couple
Speaker 1: of weeks, donors other supporters that she's been been talking
Speaker 1: with is you haven't seen the last of me. I'm
Speaker 1: not going quietly into the night. Advisors people close to
Speaker 1: her are debating about what that means. They do not
Speaker 1: want her final official act ever to be essentially certifying
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's win over her, especially four years after January sixth,
Speaker 1: and so they look at this governor's race in California
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six and it seems to them like
Speaker 1: a layup essentially that she would probably clear the field
Speaker 1: or mostly clear the field, and she would get to
Speaker 1: be governor of California.
Speaker 5: It's just a pretty good job.
Speaker 2: Apparently, whether she gets that goal all depends on whether
Speaker 2: people believe in the DNC that she can then go
Speaker 2: on to be a successful candidate at the twenty twenty
Speaker 2: eight presidential debates. Are you kidding me? She fell over
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty didn't even get a single vote because
Speaker 2: she pulled out. No one in the Lay party likes her.
Speaker 2: She became VP because Biden needed a woman, preferably an
Speaker 2: ethnic woman. She's been massively unpopular and her record is
Speaker 2: absolutely nothing except for that infamous cackle.
Speaker 3: So you'd think, surely this isn't true.
Speaker 2: And yet if you're watching the DNC Holiday get Together,
Speaker 2: if you listen to Biden, sounds like there's something in this.
Speaker 5: Look.
Speaker 13: It's also been a credible honor to serve with someone
Speaker 13: of immense character, as she demonstated through her entire career,
Speaker 13: Kamala Harris.
Speaker 5: I knew what I was.
Speaker 13: Don't ask her to be my vice president. I knew her.
Speaker 13: I knew ever, I knew about her, I knew her record.
Speaker 5: I trusted her.
Speaker 13: She always served this country of purpose and integrity and
Speaker 13: she always will. And you're not going anywhere, kids, because
Speaker 13: we're not let you go.
Speaker 3: With purpose and integrity. These guys literally do nothing.
Speaker 10: But oh, we know that Joe Biden doesn't like Kamala
Speaker 10: Harris anymore. Jill Biden can't even look at her. But
Speaker 10: I am looking at that CNN clip. It's all about Trump,
Speaker 10: isn't it that Kamala Harris wants to run again, whether
Speaker 10: it's for governor or to be president.
Speaker 11: Maybe one day. It's still about Donald Trump.
Speaker 10: Really, but if you look at her track record as
Speaker 10: vice president, she was so unpopular. Her one role was
Speaker 10: to look after the border. We all know how badly
Speaker 10: that was handled. And then that campaign, as you mentioned,
Speaker 10: you know Joe Biden trobably pardon Kamala Harris for spending
Speaker 10: a billion dollars in three months genuinely criminals.
Speaker 11: But look, she's having a.
Speaker 2: Love trying to talk up now, being like, well she
Speaker 2: raised over a billion dollars.
Speaker 11: You know she's a Democrat.
Speaker 8: They're actually so delusional that she when she said that
Speaker 8: in a crazed rambling video, she didn't even realize that
Speaker 8: made it worse.
Speaker 5: She didn't realize that.
Speaker 8: She says, hey, I had this whole thing delivered to
Speaker 8: be on a platter, and I still screw this. But
Speaker 8: she's bragging about how big the platt was on if
Speaker 8: you listen to And this is what makes me absolutely
Speaker 8: genuinely furious. And we see this creeping into the Democrats
Speaker 8: in particular and progressive politics more generally, where it's all
Speaker 8: about it's just all about them.
Speaker 5: It's just all about the person.
Speaker 8: Kid in mind, this is meant to be the left
Speaker 8: that I remember, that was meant to be about everyone else.
Speaker 8: It was meant to be out all the masses, all
Speaker 8: the poor people out there struggling, can't get a break,
Speaker 8: and you're going to help them out. You listen to
Speaker 8: that clip from CNN, and not once do they mention
Speaker 8: what's good.
Speaker 5: For the people.
Speaker 8: All of that, that's right, But it's not even all
Speaker 8: about it's all about her. It's it would be bad
Speaker 8: for her if her last act in public was just to.
Speaker 5: Be to hand it on who cares.
Speaker 8: And then oh, yes, we've got the governorship of California
Speaker 8: coming up. That's a pretty good lay up, and she
Speaker 8: would just be handed that on a platter as well.
Speaker 8: And as he says, oh it's a pretty good job.
Speaker 8: So CaMLA would still be able to get pretty good
Speaker 8: job and be able to pay all those pretty good
Speaker 8: bills in the middle of a pretty good cost of
Speaker 8: living crisis. Like can you imagine the narcissism? Absolutely Hubris
Speaker 8: that makes her think still to this day, still to
Speaker 8: this day, that this is all about her, This is
Speaker 8: all about how everyone around her, The Democratic National Committee,
Speaker 8: the entire state of California has to make up for
Speaker 8: her hopeless incompetence and complete vacuousness that deprived her of
Speaker 8: every single metric of the last presidential and congressional elections
Speaker 8: and then give her everything back to her on a
Speaker 8: platter again because why because then it wouldn't be that
Speaker 8: nice for her if the last thing she had to
Speaker 8: do was handing the cases on the truck because of
Speaker 8: her own in competent. It is I have never ever,
Speaker 8: ever encountered that level of narcissism outside someone who is
Speaker 8: an actual sociopath. Is It is disgraceful And if the
Speaker 8: Democratic Party give her any kind of platform after her
Speaker 8: performance during the campaign, they should be condemned to oblivion
Speaker 8: for generations that should go back to the days when
Speaker 8: they were the slave owning party of the South, because.
Speaker 2: He here the party of the kilukockx Klan.
Speaker 10: Also, and Republicans are cheering about this. I've heard some
Speaker 10: Republicans say, please do it, please run, it will.
Speaker 3: Beat you again, do you know, Okay, you're getting.
Speaker 10: Down, but it's you know, even if she tries to
Speaker 10: run the governor of California, more than forty percent of
Speaker 10: people in California actually voted for Trump.
Speaker 11: It's going red. So you know, Kamala Haara, how will.
Speaker 5: Vote for her?
Speaker 8: She's unelectable. She's the most odious candidate I have ever
Speaker 8: seen in my life.
Speaker 11: But she's back.
Speaker 10: Here's the latest I thing she's got to say.
Speaker 3: The holiday season is one of my favorite times of year.
Speaker 3: That in my birthday and in our wedding anniversary.
Speaker 10: Of course, I'm just going to keep digging this whole Deperdever,
Speaker 10: she doesn't get any less cringe. The more we hear
Speaker 10: from her, the more people want to switch off.
Speaker 11: Good luck to her. I don't think she's got a future.
Speaker 3: No, I don't. I take it back.
Speaker 2: No luck to her Onceoever, she does need it more
Speaker 2: than anyone right now.
Speaker 3: But I hope that.
Speaker 2: She she belongs in the graveyard of ambition. And I
Speaker 2: agree with you with you, Jo, if the Democrats give
Speaker 2: her a single other gong?
Speaker 3: Also, how would you.
Speaker 2: Be as the California governor now, which is Gavinooss who's
Speaker 2: also just ran the state into an absolute burning dumpster fire.
Speaker 2: But he's been there for quite some time and he
Speaker 2: does have some significant popularity as the incumbent and people
Speaker 2: are just openly talking about you losing Tomala Harril.
Speaker 5: So that she saves the state of California.
Speaker 3: He's like, where am I supposed to go? Thanks?
Speaker 8: Generally, I thought that Karmala, which is what would happen
Speaker 8: to my baby, that Karmala after her performance, was being
Speaker 8: non person and she was just going to be disappeared
Speaker 8: and she was never going to be should be never
Speaker 8: going to be spoken of again.
Speaker 5: There is no Karmala. There will be no Karmala. There
Speaker 5: never was a Karmala, not my mama.
Speaker 8: And the idea that I mean, the idea is being
Speaker 8: even spoken of by seat and straightface also shows that
Speaker 8: the progressive media in the US is still so far
Speaker 8: up its own ars. Honestly, it thinks it's a beautiful night.
Speaker 8: In fact it's dark for another reason, like they are
Speaker 8: just absolute morons. And the idea this is being seriously
Speaker 8: considered by I mean, if Kamala herself is delusional to
Speaker 8: be saying.
Speaker 5: I'm not going to go quietly into that big black night,
Speaker 5: It's not up to you, ding sorry, you go wherever
Speaker 5: the voters take you. And that's sti Oblivia.
Speaker 8: And the idea that this has been taken seriously by
Speaker 8: her or those around it. But let the actual media
Speaker 8: have gone from oh where do we get it?
Speaker 10: Surprised the media were campaigning from her the whole time.
Speaker 10: They were campaigning for Joe Biden until he exposed himself
Speaker 10: really in that debate when he couldn't have to say,
Speaker 10: you know, we finally beat medicare they lied to us.
Speaker 11: They're going to keep lying. They lied to us.
Speaker 10: Abou Kamala Harris, She's an average vice president and all
Speaker 10: of a sudden she was a superstar because she had
Speaker 10: the celebrities endorsement.
Speaker 11: So, you know, with tum coming.
Speaker 8: I actually think they're so stupid, and they are so cloistered,
Speaker 8: and they are so ignorant of what normal people are thinking.
Speaker 8: I don't actually think then, I don't think they're going, okay,
Speaker 8: let's go on life to the American people.
Speaker 2: I actually think they genuinely because it's so.
Speaker 8: Stupid, Like with the Biden stuff, obviously they're pulling them
Speaker 8: all over everyone's eyes, and maybe they're trying to convince themselves,
Speaker 8: but again, like how could you like even you know,
Speaker 8: morning Joe actually said, all right, we've got to go
Speaker 8: to mar Lago talk to Donald Trump. You know, I
Speaker 8: had people on CNN saying, right, we've got things going Clearly,
Speaker 8: things have gone catastrophically wrong. We are not understanding the
Speaker 8: mood of the nation, the pulse of the people. And
Speaker 8: then you have just a few weeks after the election result,
Speaker 8: people saying that Kamala Harris is going to make a comeback,
Speaker 8: not just for governor of California, but is that as
Speaker 8: a vehicle to then go to the White House again,
Speaker 8: like this is a brain injury. Honestly, if you heard
Speaker 8: someone in your family talking like this, you would take
Speaker 8: them to be committed.
Speaker 5: You would get them a cats.
Speaker 3: N CNN whose ratings we know have fallen off a clit.
Speaker 5: Carmala Harris should because.
Speaker 2: The American public were just like, you lied through your
Speaker 2: teeth to us for months and months on end. This
Speaker 2: election hasn't gone the way that you were all saying
Speaker 2: it would.
Speaker 3: We don't believe you anymore.
Speaker 2: And then they had this short period of a bit
Speaker 2: of an autopsy where they did do a little bit
Speaker 2: of naval gazing and said, oh, maybe we get everything wrong,
Speaker 2: but yeah, it figures they've just returned to factory settings
Speaker 2: and we're getting more of the same staying in the States. Now,
Speaker 2: Trump just keeps winning these court cases. He's kicking them
Speaker 2: down like rickety old doors.
Speaker 3: This one is the case that ABC had with him.
Speaker 2: They've decided to settle outside of court. It's much smarter
Speaker 2: doing it that way, and a little less money. They've
Speaker 2: been ordered to pay him fifteen million dollars plus his
Speaker 2: legal fees, so I imagine the entirety of the sum
Speaker 2: is much much bigger.
Speaker 3: This was, of.
Speaker 2: Course, due to George Stephanopolis, an ABC host, claiming the
Speaker 2: President elect was quote found liable for rape end quote,
Speaker 2: which is patently un true. We know that now, we've
Speaker 2: known that for a very long time. He didn't have
Speaker 2: a leg to stand on in telling his viewers that,
Speaker 2: and so Trump has rightly won without even going to court.
Speaker 2: So here's MSNBC waxing lyrical about how terrible this is,
Speaker 2: what a massive payout it's going to be.
Speaker 6: I'll just say, I mean, this feels like it has
Speaker 6: a real chilling effect. Like I mean, shout out to
Speaker 6: the standards Department. Okay, Standards is always making sure that
Speaker 6: we are keeping the bar high and substantive inaccurate. But
Speaker 6: what George Sethanopolis said in that interview. I mean it
Speaker 6: seems to hold up. And with the judge stout after
Speaker 6: the fact, and now he's news organization and himself, George
Speaker 6: Hepanopolis himself is paying a million dollars of his own
Speaker 6: money to the lawyers and ABC and fifty million dollars.
Speaker 2: It's insane, Simone Sanders, want to be careful there, you
Speaker 2: too could be writing a check for fifteen million dollars
Speaker 2: after seemingly backing the guy who was just successfully sued.
Speaker 3: Honestly, do these people have rocks in their head? Gather?
Speaker 10: Of course, we can't on MSNBC to say something like
Speaker 10: that they were just as bad as seen and throughout
Speaker 10: this campaign.
Speaker 11: But well on Trump for fighting this.
Speaker 10: Obviously, it's pretty rare that you actually get defamation payouts
Speaker 10: over in the US because their freedom of speech laws
Speaker 10: are a bit more extreme.
Speaker 11: Than over here.
Speaker 10: But there are plenty of other hosts that he could
Speaker 10: go after if he wanted to. There were MSNBC reporters
Speaker 10: that were directly comparing Donald Trump to Hitler, a mass murderer.
Speaker 10: Surely that counts as defamation in some way.
Speaker 5: Well, that bit doesn't.
Speaker 8: But the and this is a thing, and this is
Speaker 8: where the left sort of shoots themselves in the foot
Speaker 8: that they always overreached. So they can't just accept, you know,
Speaker 8: that Donald Trump is someone who they don't like or
Speaker 8: they don't agree with. He has to be hitler and
Speaker 8: they can't actually accept in this case, and this was
Speaker 8: a really telling one, they can't actually accept the fact
Speaker 8: that eg Simmons or whatever it happens, did actually win
Speaker 8: that case and she did get an even higher defamation
Speaker 8: payout than she did for the actual sexual assault that
Speaker 8: the civil court upheld. But it was a sexual assault,
Speaker 8: it wasn't a rape. And so by having in their
Speaker 8: beady little minds, oh, Donald Trump is evil. It must
Speaker 8: be a rapist, he must be a rapist, and just
Speaker 8: not being able to get their heads around the facts,
Speaker 8: they have then made a fifteen million dollar mistake because
Speaker 8: plus legal fees, I think I saw a twenty three
Speaker 8: million dollar figure, but that might be what that translates
Speaker 8: to in Australian dollars. But again it just goes to
Speaker 8: show how much of a kind of bubble.
Speaker 5: These people living.
Speaker 8: Know they think these things about Donald Trump, they talk
Speaker 8: to people who think the exact same things, and they
Speaker 8: just get in their head that Donald Trump's a rapist
Speaker 8: and that the courts have found this and they think
Speaker 8: it's true. And suddenly they've just implanted this idea that
Speaker 8: that is a fact, and it simply.
Speaker 5: Is not a fact.
Speaker 8: In the state where it happened, there's a very clear
Speaker 8: definition of right and what happened with Donald Trump did
Speaker 8: not fit that criteria, simple as that.
Speaker 2: And you think these guys being journals journos rather they
Speaker 2: know the legalities, they know how important which words you
Speaker 2: use when you're talking about matters like this really really matter.
Speaker 2: And yet here's Morning Joe seemingly again just doing the
Speaker 2: same thing, talking about Stephanopoulos's interview with Nancy Mace, which
Speaker 2: is how this whole case came to be.
Speaker 14: She's so concerned about rape victims being shamed. What about
Speaker 14: what Donald Trump does. Here's rape victim. Judge said, she's
Speaker 14: a rape victim day in and day out, constantly shaming
Speaker 14: EG and Carol so much so that the jury had
Speaker 14: to come back a second time and make penalty is
Speaker 14: so bad that maybe he would stop shaming a rape victim.
Speaker 14: But that's so Nancy Mayce aggressively endorses.
Speaker 2: So now you're shaming a rape victim for crying out loud.
Speaker 3: They never learn.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is the thing. And I don't know. I
Speaker 5: don't know.
Speaker 8: I haven't read the entire judgment against Agen for Egen
Speaker 8: Carroll against Donald Trump, and that was length what I
Speaker 8: was saying before about how the jury came back and
Speaker 8: gave him even more in.
Speaker 5: The defamation as he was talking about it.
Speaker 8: But again the definition of right, I don't know if
Speaker 8: the judge referred to her as a rape victim in
Speaker 8: some other context or talked about rape wings generally.
Speaker 2: So sorry, I was talking about Nancy Mace, who is
Speaker 2: genuinely she's sitting Republican in the in the House of Reps.
Speaker 5: But yeah, that's right.
Speaker 8: But again I don't know how if Joe Scarborough was
Speaker 8: talking about that same case and banging on about the
Speaker 8: banging on about the action against George Stephanopolis, I do
Speaker 8: not see.
Speaker 5: Again, it just seems.
Speaker 8: To be people talking in a bubble. I do not
Speaker 8: realize they convince themselves that it's feelings of facts.
Speaker 10: It's bizarre that George Deephanopolis even went down this line
Speaker 10: of questioning. And if you look back at you know
Speaker 10: his history before he was a journalist, he was a
Speaker 10: communications director of the nineteen ninety two president's presidential campaign
Speaker 10: of Bill Clinton, who's of course had several accusations against him,
Speaker 10: which he denies. But it's bizarre that George Stephanopolis really
Speaker 10: continued to grill Nancy Mace about this, and I think
Speaker 10: she did a great job really calling him out at
Speaker 10: the time, saying.
Speaker 11: You are shaming me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, that's right.
Speaker 8: And fun fact, George Stephanopolis was the man they thought
Speaker 8: wrote the book Primary Colors about all of what is it?
Speaker 8: Jack Stanton was the name of the candidate, and really
Speaker 8: it has nothing to do with Bill Clinton.
Speaker 5: Whatsoever? Was Jack Stanton? Not Bill?
Speaker 2: George would have come out and taken the credit.
Speaker 9: That's right.
Speaker 8: It turned out to be a guy called Joe Klein,
Speaker 8: but everyone thought it was George Stephanopolis who wrote.
Speaker 2: It was Joe Cline, who then took the credit once
Speaker 2: George was getting it was like actually.
Speaker 8: With Joe Klein, who then wrote a follow up to
Speaker 8: Primary Colors under his own name, called The Running Mate,
Speaker 8: and it was a terrible flock.
Speaker 2: Well, the absolute pandemonium over January sixth continues to unravel
Speaker 2: the insurrection that.
Speaker 3: Got Trump into so much trouble. The facts and figures
Speaker 3: are still.
Speaker 2: Coming out, ladies and gentlemen, And can I say it's
Speaker 2: another great day, as every day is to be a
Speaker 2: conspiracy theorist, because we just found out from the Justice
Speaker 2: Department's watchdog in a bombshell report that there were twenty
Speaker 2: six FBI informants on the ground in the capital on
Speaker 2: that day, and to quote the report, most of them
Speaker 2: engaged in illegal activity. So what the heck was going on?
Speaker 3: FBI?
Speaker 2: Here's Thomas Massey, who's a Republican rep in the House.
Speaker 3: Absolutely love this guy. He is beyond based.
Speaker 2: He wouldn't let all these allegations regarding January sixth go
Speaker 2: over the last few years, and he took every opportunity
Speaker 2: he got to grill the Attorney General as to what
Speaker 2: actually happened on that day, and he specifically asked Attorney
Speaker 2: General Garland repeatedly were their FBI agents involved.
Speaker 15: I was hoping today to give you an opportunity to
Speaker 15: put to rest the concerns that people have that there
Speaker 15: were federal agents or assets of the federal government present
Speaker 15: on January fifth and January sixth. Can you tell us,
Speaker 15: without talking about particular incidents or particular videos, how many
Speaker 15: agents or assets of the federal government were present on
Speaker 15: January sixth, whether they agitated to go into the capitol,
Speaker 15: and if any of them did so.
Speaker 5: I'm not going to violate this norm of.
Speaker 3: The rule of law.
Speaker 12: I'm not going to comment on investigation that's ongoing now.
Speaker 9: In that video, that was your answer to question to
Speaker 9: me two years ago when I said, how many agents
Speaker 9: or assets of the government were present on January fifth
Speaker 9: and January sixth and agitating in the crowd to go
Speaker 9: into the capitol, and how many went into the capitol?
Speaker 9: Can you answer that now?
Speaker 6: I don't know the answer to that question.
Speaker 9: Oh, last time, you don't know how many there were
Speaker 9: or there were none.
Speaker 8: I don't know the answer to either of those questions.
Speaker 5: If there were any.
Speaker 3: I don't know how many. You've know, whether there are any.
Speaker 9: I think you may have just perjured yourself that you
Speaker 9: don't know that there were any. You want to say
Speaker 9: that again, that you don't know that there were.
Speaker 5: No personal knowledge of this matter. I think what I
Speaker 5: said the last time.
Speaker 9: You've had two years to find out.
Speaker 11: I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Isn't it every politician's famous line when they're brought before
Speaker 2: a judgment day panel asking for answers as to what
Speaker 2: they clearly do know by virtue of being the Attorney
Speaker 2: General of the United States of America. But no, it
Speaker 2: was just more obfiscation. Nobody knows anything.
Speaker 3: We were entirely unaware.
Speaker 2: I loved jd Vance's tweet Vice President Elect today He shared.
Speaker 3: A copy of this report by the Justice.
Speaker 2: Department with the tweet that said, for those keeping score
Speaker 2: at home, this was labeled a dangerous conspiracy theory months ago.
Speaker 2: So how do you like those apples? Here we are again, Gabby.
Speaker 2: It's a great day to be a conspiracy theorist because
Speaker 2: these guys simply pieced together the facts long before those
Speaker 2: in charge are willing to admit them. And by the
Speaker 2: time it finally comes out, they hope that they've given
Speaker 2: themselves enough buffer in terms of time that it will
Speaker 2: matter so much so people move on.
Speaker 10: But it's been nearly four years, that's.
Speaker 11: How long it's been.
Speaker 10: Then finally the truth comes out, and as data Evans
Speaker 10: pointed out, just a few months ago, you were labeled
Speaker 10: a conspiracy theory. Serious, I should say, but that's absolutely wild.
Speaker 10: Twenty six confidential informants found on the ground and then
Speaker 10: most of whom engage in a legal activity during the chaos.
Speaker 10: But you know, it doesn't really surprise me that this
Speaker 10: was just kind of dismissed as a conspiracy theory and
Speaker 10: it has taken this long for further truth to come out,
Speaker 10: because it reminds me of the Hunter Biden laptop story
Speaker 10: that was censored, and then eventually it came out that
Speaker 10: the FBI did have his lab and the Russian collusion.
Speaker 10: Oh my gosh, we've heard this story before, and it's
Speaker 10: going to keep happening. We don't have long, guys, January twenty,
Speaker 10: it's going to be a different world.
Speaker 11: There's only a few weeks to go. A bit more transparency.
Speaker 8: You listen carefully to it day that they're talking at
Speaker 8: cross purposes, so the person keeps sort of asking about
Speaker 8: FBI agents or assets. Now, an informant is not an agent.
Speaker 8: An informant is simply someone the FBI gets.
Speaker 3: Information to work for this. We're involved, they might might not.
Speaker 8: They're just an informant. It's like saying a police informant
Speaker 8: is often a crook. They don't work, they're not a
Speaker 8: police officer, they don't work for the police.
Speaker 3: Three as informants.
Speaker 2: Yes, take your point, but it creates is how you
Speaker 2: have twenty six informants on the ground and you weren't
Speaker 2: across this, You didn't.
Speaker 8: Know, So there were only three that the FBI actually
Speaker 8: has to be there.
Speaker 5: The other twenty three just.
Speaker 3: Went of them one of their radicles.
Speaker 8: Which makes me think that these guys are people that
Speaker 8: the FBI knows they're.
Speaker 5: Operating within these movements already.
Speaker 8: They sell information or they give information to the FBI
Speaker 8: for what in exchange for whatever, I don't know, but
Speaker 8: they were there doing that of their own accord. And
Speaker 8: they also people who who dub on their mates to
Speaker 8: the FBI as well, and so it's.
Speaker 3: Not necessarily doubtless. They were not talking about.
Speaker 8: FBI employees or agents who were being sent to this
Speaker 8: thing to stir up trouble. We're talking about people who
Speaker 8: the FBI relies on for information, who in most cases
Speaker 8: went there of their own accord. But they are someone
Speaker 8: the fbis and.
Speaker 3: They didn't admit it till now.
Speaker 2: They could have just said instead of instead of waiting
Speaker 2: till now, we've got to go to a break, but when.
Speaker 3: We come back.
Speaker 2: Tim Pallace, Victoria Treasurer he's gone.
Speaker 3: Welcome back.
Speaker 2: Well, a cricket commentator is under fire for being racist.
Speaker 3: The weird thing is she.
Speaker 2: As well as the person that she's supposedly slurred, is
Speaker 2: also Indian.
Speaker 3: Joe, walk me through this. I feel like this is.
Speaker 8: The left and say, as one white person to another,
Speaker 8: that was incredibly racist of you, this is.
Speaker 3: The same race. Can I saw this.
Speaker 8: Unfolding in real time last night as it was happening,
Speaker 8: and it was just so weird because I kind of
Speaker 8: thought the days of sort of Twitter outrage and Twitter
Speaker 8: shaming and getting canceled over, and as people were saying
Speaker 8: as this was kind of happening, there was this massive
Speaker 8: I'm never on Twitter anymore, but for some reason I
Speaker 8: ended up back there sort of seeing how this was
Speaker 8: all going, and the vitriol was extraordinary, But vitriol was
Speaker 8: not towards who you would expect.
Speaker 5: So rewind.
Speaker 8: This is Fox cricket commentator is Guha I hope I
Speaker 8: pronounced her name correctly, And she was commentating on a
Speaker 8: game between Australia and India, obviously, and she said of
Speaker 8: one of the Indian star players the following, I'll play
Speaker 8: the grab.
Speaker 16: Well, he's the MVP isn't he most valuable primate? Speak,
Speaker 16: he is the one that's going to do all the
Speaker 16: talking for India and why so much focus was on
Speaker 16: him in the build up to this TESS match.
Speaker 8: So there she is calling this player and again, I'm
Speaker 8: no massive cricket tragic, so I don't know how all
Speaker 8: these people are, but this guy's amazing. And she says
Speaker 8: he's the MVP, which is usually of course most valuable player.
Speaker 8: She's the MVP, most valuable Primate, and then she goes
Speaker 8: on to say what an incredible player he is, that
Speaker 8: he has got you know, this match in his hands,
Speaker 8: and blah blah blah. That seems an odd thing to
Speaker 8: go on and say about someone that you've just slagged off,
Speaker 8: you've just learnd she's going on in to say that
Speaker 8: this guy is amazing. And so while this is happening, meanwhile,
Speaker 8: my very good friends are I think on seven, which
Speaker 8: is of course a rival network, so the bit of
Speaker 8: a network rivalry there. They put out a story about
Speaker 8: this and say that this is a slur. The primate
Speaker 8: is a slur, and they also linked or liken it
Speaker 8: to the slur from again an Indian player. This is
Speaker 8: in two thousand and six or nine or something early
Speaker 8: two thousands an Indian player against the Australian Andrew Simon's
Speaker 8: where he was called a monkey by an Indian player.
Speaker 8: So you had an Indian player being racist towards an
Speaker 8: Australian player, and now suddenly is this a form of payback?
Speaker 8: Except that Isa Guha is herself Indian. She's an Indian heritage,
Speaker 8: so her parents are from Calcutta, I believe. So while
Speaker 8: this thing was unfolding online, I was looking at all
Speaker 8: these comments, and the comments I reckon at the very
Speaker 8: least would have been ten to one against the poor
Speaker 8: guy from Channel seven who wrote story and posts story
Speaker 8: and for rape and on her side. And they were saying,
Speaker 8: don't you get at your idiots.
Speaker 5: We're all primates. That's the point. We're all prime's all
Speaker 5: human beings.
Speaker 11: Well that was my first remembers.
Speaker 8: Are primates, And this I think is actually the point
Speaker 8: of what Isa Guha was saying. But have her listened
Speaker 8: to her apology and she kind of she doesn't seem
Speaker 8: to want to dig any deeper, but this is what
Speaker 8: she says.
Speaker 16: I'm an advocate for equality and someone who has spent
Speaker 16: their career thinking about inclusion and understanding in the game.
Speaker 16: I'm trying to frame the enormity of his achievements, and
Speaker 16: I've chosen the wrong word, and for that I am
Speaker 16: deeply sorry. As someone who is also of South Asian heritage,
Speaker 16: I hope people would recognize that there was no other
Speaker 16: intentional malice there.
Speaker 8: So you saying I called someone of my own race
Speaker 8: a race as slur, that would mean that she was.
Speaker 3: She apologizing for you never apologize.
Speaker 8: So she said, may well be that, you know upstairs.
Speaker 5: I just said, look, we just got to make sure sorry.
Speaker 5: And I've been there.
Speaker 8: I've been there, I've done the same thing, and you
Speaker 8: just say, all right if people are.
Speaker 5: Upset or you know.
Speaker 8: But she said prior to that, grab said yesterday in commentary,
Speaker 8: I used a word that can be interpreted in a
Speaker 8: number of different ways. So I think what she was
Speaker 8: actually saying, she hinted it later on, But again I
Speaker 8: think they've probably said, don't just don't keep explained to
Speaker 8: say sorry, we just move on. But she's actually saying
Speaker 8: that this guy is the most amazing player, not of
Speaker 8: his team, not of the current are but of the
Speaker 8: entire species, the most the most incredible primate out of
Speaker 8: all of them, not just the best, but the best
Speaker 8: ever been. And there is actually a believer or in
Speaker 8: Sydney there is actually a group. There used to be
Speaker 8: a lunch club of real sort of senior high up
Speaker 8: media figures and legal figures and sort of you know,
Speaker 8: the sort of top brass of Sydney, the sort of
Speaker 8: people who would.
Speaker 5: Go to the Ustai Club or whatever.
Speaker 8: And guess what this group of elites called themselves, the primates.
Speaker 8: They and so again, So these are the sort of you.
Speaker 8: This is what Richard Dawkin's It's.
Speaker 2: Really all about perception, isn't it, Gabby. And if someone
Speaker 2: wants to be offended, they're going to find a like
Speaker 2: Channel seven did all. This is a story, Let's splash
Speaker 2: it everywhere. It's so heartening to know that the vast
Speaker 2: majority of the people were saying this is b completely agree.
Speaker 10: I was really pleased to know that everyone that you
Speaker 10: were seeing supporting her. We all heard the grab and
Speaker 10: it's so awkward in her apology that she has to
Speaker 10: clarify I'm of Indian heritage. The player I was talking
Speaker 10: about was an Indian heritage. Anyone who's been watching or
Speaker 10: following this from this art can see that, so I
Speaker 10: don't even know where it came from. So what some
Speaker 10: people on online.
Speaker 11: Channel seven round with it.
Speaker 10: It's rather that you had to clarify it, though, and
Speaker 10: I feel for her apologizing.
Speaker 11: It's a hard thing to do.
Speaker 10: But I'm glad to know that everyone is behinding her
Speaker 10: because we all heard her from the very beginning. She
Speaker 10: was talking her him up, saying that he's the MVP.
Speaker 3: Good honor to queen not Queensland for once.
Speaker 2: You're not in the firing heart in Queensland, queens for
Speaker 2: you guys to Victoria now, where things don't seem to
Speaker 2: be looking up at all, although maybe they will with
Speaker 2: the resignation of Treasurer Tim Palace. He's left the job
Speaker 2: today after handing down a terrible budget on Friday.
Speaker 3: Love the timing, Love the timing. Tim.
Speaker 2: He said that his regrets are quote too few to
Speaker 2: mention end quote, and that he's leaving the Victorian economy
Speaker 2: in I want to get these words right.
Speaker 3: A solid and improving condition here he was today.
Speaker 17: I think we can look back on on the body
Speaker 17: of work and say, well, the economy is solid, the
Speaker 17: fiscal position is improving.
Speaker 3: And sound.
Speaker 2: Really I mean, the state's debt is said to hit
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty seven billion dollars in one of
Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight. He tried his best. That was also
Speaker 2: a direct quote. He said it right as best. I mean,
Speaker 2: this is just I watering Joe that. Once again, here's
Speaker 2: a politician who is very much a main player when
Speaker 2: it comes to the state of the Victorian economy, and
Speaker 2: here he is leaving the job after being treasurer for eons,
Speaker 2: saying dead my best, it's solid. Things are going okay,
Speaker 2: and yeah, you know what, I've done.
Speaker 11: A good job.
Speaker 8: Yeah, what is actually more egregious in my I mean,
Speaker 8: Victoria's a complete not a basket case.
Speaker 5: Obviously it is.
Speaker 3: But at least don't pretend it's not.
Speaker 5: The I suppose it was the foundation.
Speaker 8: The settings are there, the settings are strong, the bones
Speaker 8: are there.
Speaker 5: We just got to put them.
Speaker 8: The inside story here is that Tim Pallace was, in
Speaker 8: the darkest days of the Andrews government, the leading figure
Speaker 8: of the Victorian right, which itself is a basket case
Speaker 8: now because it got taken over by the federal branch
Speaker 8: because of all the branch stacking and everything, which of
Speaker 8: course everyone does. But on the right seem to pay
Speaker 8: the price. But so he was a leading figure of
Speaker 8: the right. And then when Dan Andrews left and basically
Speaker 8: just handed the job to Justin to Allen and there's
Speaker 8: a whole bunch of horse trading that went on, and
Speaker 8: basically Tim Pallas and a handful of other MPs went
Speaker 8: from the right to the left of the party. Now
Speaker 8: that is you might call that ratting on the ticket.
Speaker 8: That is a capital offense, that is absolutely unforgivable. To
Speaker 8: go from the right to the left is the greatest
Speaker 8: sin you can commit in the Labor Party. To go
Speaker 8: from the left to the right is what all smart
Speaker 8: people do, and I encourage every to.
Speaker 5: Go the other way. Terrible, terrible.
Speaker 8: So and he obviously did that it would seem to
Speaker 8: keep the job of treasurer after the premier it took over.
Speaker 8: So he sort of sold his soul to the godless
Speaker 8: socialist left faction of Victoria. But the interesting thing is
Speaker 8: that all this happened as the right said no, we're
Speaker 8: not going to just let your hand over. We are
Speaker 8: going to put forward our candidate, their Transport minister I
Speaker 8: think it was at the time, but they basically said
Speaker 8: we're not going down without.
Speaker 5: A fight anymore.
Speaker 8: We're not playing along now that Andrews has gone and
Speaker 8: his reign of terror is over. And Palace's branch, of course,
Speaker 8: Palace's seat, which I think is Werribee, western suburbs, good
Speaker 8: working class seat, working class people who of course turned
Speaker 8: against the government after what they put them through during COVID.
Speaker 8: But his palace still held on. But that seat and
Speaker 8: the others like it will all still be right wing.
Speaker 8: The branches will still be right dominated, and so technically
Speaker 8: the guvernment goodbye less senior left MP. And when they
Speaker 8: replace him, assuming that Laby can still hold a seat
Speaker 8: like Weerribee, it will almost certainly be an MP from
Speaker 8: the right, and so there will be This is the
