WEBVTT - The Rita Panahi Show | 23 June 0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:07.680 On Scorn Loves Australia. This is the Wider Panalty Show. 0:00:08.840 --> 0:00:11.880 Good evening and welcome to the Riata Panety Show. Coming 0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:15.640 up tonight, a brutal attack against a Brisbane bus driver 0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:18.759 outrages of the community. The panel will be here to 0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:22.520 discuss that and much more. Shortly, we'll have all the 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:27.160 pertinent news from the Iran Israel conflict and America's historic 0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:31.760 intervention with the brilliant Josh Hammer. Professor Im Plimer will 0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:35.760 explain the likely impact on global oil prices, and later 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:39.280 in the hour, the always charming Kinsey Schofield will have 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:43.320 the latest royal and celebrity news. And Left is Losing 0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:45.400 It really lives up to its name. 0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:54.640 Tonight, Ran Side, I'll. 0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:58.120 Give a day but first now this must be just huge, 0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:01.640 rely for the Trump administration. The alban Easy government has 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:05.560 broken its silence on the US strikes against Iran. Foreign 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:09.759 Affairs Minister Penny Wong said the Australian government supports the operation, 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:14.920 but she also called for de escalation, dialogue and diplomacy. 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:18.119 Let's hear from Prime Minister Anthony alben Easy. 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:22.400 The world has long agreed that Iran cannot be allowed 0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:26.560 to get a nuclear weapon and we support action to 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:29.720 prevent that. That is what this is. We don't want 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:33.600 escalation and a full scale war. We continue to call 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:38.080 for dialogue and for diplomacy. We urge Iran not to 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.559 take any further action that could destabilize the region. 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:46.920 Joining me now is IPA Chief economist Adam Crichton and News. 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:51.280 Corps senior writer Patrick car Lyin. Patrick, I'll start with you, how. 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:54.920 Do you see the Australian response, Not that it really matters, but. 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.600 Look, I think the fact that perhaps because it happened 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:01.600 on Sunday, there were other things that sort of got 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.160 in the way of talking about the most important event of. 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:05.040 The year so far. 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:09.280 Why wouldn't you, as a statesperson want to be shaping 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:12.639 the agenda, standing up talking about what has happened here 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:15.520 and what it means and how it affects Australian values. 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:17.679 How can you wait twenty four hours while the rest 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:20.720 of the world goes about its business to actually sort 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:22.760 of finally put your hand up beggars below. 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:28.560 And it particularly stands out, Adam, because we've been very 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:32.480 vocal in offering unwanted advice to the Israelis and to 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:34.639 the Americans talking about Oh. 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:36.519 You know, we need to de escalate the situation. 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:40.320 That's what Penny Wong said before these strikes. So for 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.280 her to now come out and say she is in 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:46.280 support of them, and so is the Prime Minister, it's 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:47.440 a confusing message. 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:49.280 Yeah, look, it certainly is. And it's just embarrassing. 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.000 I mean, you know, we're urging the Israelis to do 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:53.720 things things all from the other side of the world. 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.480 I mean, I really don't think they're listening. But look, 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.680 I think the reason for the delay, which was somewhat embarrassing. 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:00.800 They should have had a press conference straight way, I think. 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.440 And it's probably because there was descent within the Labor 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:05.600 Party about how to respond. There's always been a hard 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.120 left faction in that party that really dislikes the US. 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:12.400 And you know, there are some members probably who would 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:13.120 like I ran. 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:13.960 To strike backly. 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.840 Obviously I can't say that, but that's probably the reality. 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:19.400 So there was probably some internal descent, and that's why 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.400 you get this very lukewarm, lukewarm endorsement of what the 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:23.320 US has done. 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:24.000 Now. 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:28.919 The sheer complexity of the operation, which was called Midnight Hammer, 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:29.639 I've got to say I. 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:30.240 Like the name. 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:33.440 It involved the deployment of one hundred and twenty five 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:37.960 warplanes carrying seventy five weapons targeting three Uranian nuclear sides. 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:41.800 It even included a set of decoy flights where b 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:47.480 two Spirit bombers flew over the Pacific to create a distraction. 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:51.400 It took eighteen hours to fly from Missouri to the 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.080 target area, and the timing of the attacks were planned 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:55.840 to achieve the element of surprise. 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:57.920 The missiles punctured through the. 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:03.280 Rock and detonated in side the bunkers below Adam. It's 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:06.600 an astonishing operation. It seems to be, from what we 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.000 know thus far, carried out flawlessly. 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.600 Look just a reminder of the extraordinary sophistication and power 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:13.920 of the US military. I mean, if you're going to 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.600 have an ally that is the ally, have the United States? 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:19.040 Certainly no, it is. It is just extraordinary. And apparently 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:21.279 the target was the size of a washing machine. Ultimately, 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.800 and of course these bombs are being dropped from extremely 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:26.600 high in the air and they hit all their targets. 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:29.520 I mean, the Iranian regime is saying that some of 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.480 it has survived. So that's what I don't kind of understand, 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:35.720 because if that's a complete lie, then surely their own 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:37.640 people are going to find that out at some point. 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:39.400 So I kind of don't know what their strategy is. 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.080 I think at this stage I trust the US government 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:42.560 over the Iranian government. 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:43.839 But I don't know why that's the operation. 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:45.960 But there's certainly mixed messaging put that. 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:48.839 There is Patrick, I don't know why the Iranian regime 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.440 wants to put it out there that we have more 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:55.960 nuclear sites, because that's just inviting America's just sad more wallplanes. 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.240 At two thirty eighth to blow them up. 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:02.200 But we're now really on the verge as close as 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:06.320 we have been in decades to regime change in America, 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:11.520 in Hran, not America, since the Islamic Revolution of nineteen 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:15.120 seventy nine. This is probably the weakest that regime has been. 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:17.760 Look you look at that operation. It was amazing, wasn't it. 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:22.880 I Mean it's a movie title Midnight Hammer, But there 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:25.360 wasn't a shot fired back in anger by the Iranians. 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:29.040 That's the amazing thing. They really are weakened and depleted. 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.240 And as you say, you've got a regime that's been 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:36.880 the oppressing people for forty years. There's no freedom of expression. 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.760 It belongs in the Middle Ages. It is backward and 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:43.560 this is the closest that we've got to actually pulling 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:47.600 tearing down that region, and that's exciting. It's also volatile, 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:51.360 it's terrifying, but it is just a fascinating moment in history. 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:52.200 Now. 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:57.600 We'll have plenty more on the Iran Israel conflict and 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.880 the US's part in it with Josh hammersh shortly, but 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:04.440 let's go to some local issues. To a shocking video 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:08.240 that's emerged of a bus driver in Brisbane who was 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.440 the victim of a sickening assault at Union. Reps say 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:13.960 the attacker was asked to get off the bus and 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:17.000 can then been seen trying to be pushed off before 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:22.760 unleashing a barrage of brutal punches. A driver has been 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:26.679 repeatedly punched in a sickening assault on board a Brisbane bus. 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.560 Communion officials say the attacker was asked to get off 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:32.039 the bus near south Bank last night when he was 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:36.040 identified as a serial abuser of bus drivers. He's seen 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:40.040 he is striking the council worker in his fifties several times, 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:44.160 unfazed by the commuters watching on. The driver suffered ear 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.160 and facial injuries. And I'm told he'll be off work 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.960 for at least a week. The rail, tram and Bus 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:54.360 union says violence against its members is escalating, with incidents 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:57.480 involving weapons and spitting on the rise. 0:06:58.240 --> 0:06:58.680 Patrick. 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.880 That is so disturbing. And one of the disturbing elements 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:06.640 of it is the bystanders now loads to be too 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:10.760 critical because people don't want to become victims themselves. 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:12.360 They're hesitant to get involved. 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:16.480 But what happened to the whole good samaritan principle? What 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:20.320 about coming to the aid of someone who's obviously being 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:21.960 attacked viciously? 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:22.200 There? 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.040 Look, I think you can understand people are sort of 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.880 shocked and some people feel paralyzed. But that went for 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:30.960 quite a while. Nobody actually stepped in, Nobody actually. 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:35.160 Thought hang on, it's even yelled out. Yeah. It's a 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:38.400 real indictment on society. 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:40.920 I suppose people are too scared to get involved and 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:42.560 not to act, and you'd like to see it. 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:44.640 That's what you want to see. You want to see heroes, 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:46.000 and you see. 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:49.720 Examples on American flights when terrorists are taken over, they've 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:50.440 done great things. 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:52.760 People need to step up in those situations. 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:57.160 To me, Adam, this is the real crisis in masculinity. 0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:00.440 It's not all this toxic masculinity nonsense we keep hearing about. 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:02.760 This is the crisis. This is a lack of. 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:05.000 You know, there were men on that bus and they 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:07.880 should have stepped forward. Now I know it's easier said 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.520 than done, but you've got someone there who's been pummeled. 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:14.400 He could have been left with catastrophic injuries. Luckily he 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:15.680 hasn't been well. 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:16.400 But what mean is that? 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:18.840 You know, if someone had tried to defend the man, 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:20.840 I mean, they could have been charged themselves, just like 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:23.000 That's part of happened with Daniel Penney. Remember in New 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:24.920 York City, I think last year or the year before. 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.640 So I think people are slightly reluctant to get involved. 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:30.040 I mean, I do hope with that guy that if 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.160 it's found out that he's not an Australian citizen, he 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.480 should be deported immediately back to his home country. 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:35.320 I hope that's what happens. 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.079 An example should be made of him. You know, statistically 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.280 it's possible that he's not an Australian citizen. 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:44.200 Well, we are so soft on crime, but I know 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:48.120 Queensland has been with the christa Fuley government. They've tried 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.800 to crack down, particularly on youth crime. But yeah, we'll 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:51.920 see what happens with this case. 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:52.840 We'll keep an eye on it. 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:58.120 Now to an unintentionally a funny story about falling standards 0:08:58.320 --> 0:08:59.840 at Australian universities. 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:01.719 Our unis are dropping in the. 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:05.719 Global rankings and apparently it's all Donald Trump's fault. Obviously, 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:09.600 that's according to the Guardian who said attacks from Donald 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:14.880 Trump's second administration. Apparently that's one of the leading reasons 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:19.720 patrick for the slip in standards. Why won't Donald Trump 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:22.120 stopped just attacking our university. 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.800 Would have bizarre tape Donald Trump for Melbourne winter. 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:25.640 It is freezing. 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:26.160 It is. 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.120 In the top ten reasons. There's lots of problems with 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:35.000 the Israeli university sector. There's caps on international students, the 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:39.319 visas are doubled in cost for international students, and you've 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.520 also got the fact that they are hotbeds of activism. 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:45.920 Is not about the tolerance shown for anti Semitic sort 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:51.640 of behavior on campuses collectively across Australia is embarrassing and shameful. 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:55.079 There are lots of good reasons why universities are floundering 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:56.320 in Australia, Donald Trump is. 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:59.240 Not, so they should have been accepting the money anyway, 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:00.760 I think from the US goverment. I mean they're meant 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.360 to be Australian universities. They're taking money from foreign government. 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.120 There shouldn't be any Plus they're rolling in cash anyway, so. 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:08.040 Absolutely need the money. 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:13.640 And Trump's conditions on those moneys were entirely sane and logical. 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:15.240 They basically said, if you don't. 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:18.680 Believe in scientific facts like there are two genders, then 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:23.360 you can't have our money. If you're pushing racist DEI policies, 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:27.480 you're prioritizing people based on their color of their skin, 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:29.400 then you don't get our money. I think that's as 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:34.480 American taxpayers over there. They voted for that administration. But 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:38.480 we've got twenty five out of Australia's thirty six universities 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:42.240 seeing a fall in the international ranking, so they're not 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:46.079 doing well. Let's talk about a little about gender ideology 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:46.920 before you two go. 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:49.960 This clip has gone viral around the world. 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:54.520 It's of our BBC news reader Martine Croxel. She's had 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:58.800 enough of the radical gender activists. Watch as she corrects 0:10:58.840 --> 0:10:59.640 the AUTOQ. 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:03.760 Here Malcolm mystery, who is involved in the research, says 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:08.400 that the aged, pregnant people, women and those with pre 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:11.559 existing health conditions need to take precautions. 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:17.120 Adam, she's now become an Internet sensation. She put out 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:20.479 a post on x thanking all her new followers. 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:22.160 She's like, I wonder why that's happening. 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:24.640 She knows precisely why that's happening, because that clip has 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:25.280 gone viral. 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:26.880 I mean, you know, it's great to know there's still 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.959 some sane people in the bbcaid. I hope, I hope 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:31.600 she gets a pay rise out of this ultimately with 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:32.559 her newfound fame. 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:34.480 But she was quite right to correct it. 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.599 And you know, the producer that wrote it should be 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:37.480 a shamed of themselves. 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:38.239 Absolutely. 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:42.760 But we're seeing this also in the Australian media constantly Patrick. 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:44.440 The English language being. 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:50.040 Deliberately mangled to respect They then pronouns and all sorts 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:53.599 of silliness. Do you see any sort of a pushback 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:55.960 in Australia or we a little bit behind the UK 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:57.360 and the US in this respect. 0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:58.640 Look, we're probably behind. 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.679 I've never heard anyone referred to a pregnant person before 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:06.880 any conversation ever I've ever had look, it is pushing back. 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.240 It has taken too long. I mean when you've got 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.480 euphemisms for all sorts of things, so don't make any 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:16.360 chest feeding. What the hell is chest feeding? It does 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:18.200 need to be pushed back. I'd like to think it 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:21.360 has started to be pushed back, but it really is 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:21.880 out of hand. 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:22.800 And good on her. 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:26.160 Good absolutely, Patrick Carli Adam Crichton, thank you so much 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:29.920 for your time. Now we know the Iran strikes will 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:33.720 impact oil prices. We've seen evidence of that already in 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:38.439 the past week, and going forward, further price increases are anticipated, 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:42.920 particularly if Iran decides to block the Strait of Hormez, 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:46.240 which is a key trade route accounting for around twenty 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:50.040 percent of the world's crude oil. Let's bring in leading 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:54.880 geologists and author Professor in Prima in what can we 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:58.040 expect to see and what will be the impact on 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:00.440 Australian households and sources. 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:05.360 Well, a lot of countries are dependent upon Middle Eastern oil, 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.720 and that's because when you make diesel and petrol and 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:13.079 aviation fuel, you have to mix a light sweet crewe 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.400 and that is a very fluid oil with not much 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:19.880 sulfur in it, with heavier oils to then refine it 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:23.199 into the fractions you need, so you need Middle Eastern 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:24.960 oil to blend with other oils. 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:27.760 So Europe would. 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:31.800 Be affected, the US would not be affected very much 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.680 at all, if at all. Australia would be affected, but 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:37.760 the main country that will be affected would actually be China. 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:41.719 China gets most of its oil from Iran. If the 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:46.960 strains were closed, then oil coming out of Saudi would 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:50.600 be affected, but that can be replaced with oil from elsewhere, 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:54.360 especially Nigeria and the US. So it would have an 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:57.199 effect on the price. The price is very, very volatile, 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:00.920 and it may well be short term, but we saw 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.920 in the Gulf Ward it was fairly long term and 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:06.800 it took a long while to rebuild facilities which had 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:07.559 been destroyed. 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:14.320 Now, and let's hear from energy expert Robert Bryce, who 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.920 was on Peter Quidlin's program last week. 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:18.560 This is what he had to. 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:21.000 Say about Australia's energy policies. 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:25.000 What is wrong with you Australians. You have natural resources 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.240 that are the envy of the rest of the world. 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:31.040 You're the Saudi Arabia of the southern hemisphere. You export 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:34.040 seven times more coal than you consume, and yet you 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:37.120 don't want to burn coal. You have nearly thirty percent 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:40.239 of the world's uranium and you won't build nuclear reactors. 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.920 You export three times more natural gas in the form 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:45.920 of energy than you consume, and you won't drill for gas. 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:49.680 I mean, I just don't get it. I love Australia. 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:52.240 I think it's an amazing country, but your policy is 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:53.040 just baffling. 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:54.440 He is bewildered. 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:54.960 Ian. 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:55.760 Is he right? 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:59.960 Could Australia be the Saudi Arabia of the southern hemisphere. 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:04.440 Well, he's absolutely correct. We will never be the Saudi 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:08.400 Arabia of wind and solid that's just nuts, But he's 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:09.440 absolutely correct. 0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:13.120 We are very, very well endowed with energy. Before I 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:16.040 left the country, I had a dinner with him and 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.480 he was giving these views which he's given in his 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:21.200 very sketches around Australia. 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:25.400 And we are very well endowed with almost every mineral 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:29.720 we use, exceptions being rare earth elements, cobalt and a 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.320 couple of others. But we are so well off in 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:37.400 this country. We have so much energy we are clamping 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:41.480 our producers to the ground such they can't move. Now, 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:43.160 it's not that we have a lot of energy and 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.800 the not using it. It's that we're not able to 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:49.600 use it. We have mountains of regulations to get through 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:53.440 to be able to use energy, and these regulations are 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:59.440 repeated in local government regulations, in state government regulations, and 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:03.400 in federal government regulations. So the time delays and the 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:07.840 costs to actually get a project up to producing jobs 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:13.720 and producing commodities is enormous. And by taking so long, 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:17.400 you actually lose markets. So he's absolutely correct. We are 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:21.440 such a well allowed country. We are not performing as 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:24.800 a country that actually wants to grow or actually remain wealthy. 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:29.000 And if we keep going the same way with stopping projects, 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:32.840 preventing projects, and having more than sixty percent of this 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:37.360 country as aboriginal land, then it is very, very difficult 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:40.440 to see that we will become a wealthy country. Now 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.960 seeing signs of that already. The wealth of this country 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:48.320 is falling, the productivity is falling. Yet we have the resources. 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:52.240 So here's someone from outside who's stating the bleeding. Obvious 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:55.600 governments must know this and they're doing nothing about it. 0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:00.200 Professor Plymatt, thank you so much for your time, and 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:03.200 I think I can safely say you're the first guest. 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:05.400 We've ever had coming in live from the. 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:09.919 Seychelles, so thank you particularly for making time for us tonight, 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:14.320 coming up after the break, Lefties Losing It, plus the 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:20.360 Trump administration's psychological warfare to demoralize the Iranian regime, all 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:23.960 the details of Operation Midnight Hammer coming up next with 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:32.560 Josh Hammer. You're watching the Reader Panny Show, and it's 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:35.680 time for Lefties Losing It and we're going to get 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:38.640 to a very enlightening comparison shortly. 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:41.320 But let's start with a bit of frivolity. 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:45.359 Remember when Will Smith wasn't a massive beata joke before 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:48.439 we found out his wife had boyfriends, and he slapped 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:52.520 Chris Rock for telling a very mild joke about Jada Pinkett. 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:55.440 Smith. Well, he's desperate to rebuild his. 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:58.480 Image, and this song about how much he likes pretty 0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:02.840 girls may just be the most embarrassing thing I've seen 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:04.160 in twenty twenty five. 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:07.280 And I'll watch full episodes of the view for you. 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:13.560 I like pretty girl girl, I love pretty girl. 0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:20.840 Girl. I like pretty girl Sadly the song doesn't get 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:21.440 any better. 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:23.879 There's not a lot of women not pretty to me. 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:26.560 It means you're pretty to me, and I ain't talking 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:34.639 about just the prettiest he pretty girls. I love pretty 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:36.800 girls girls. 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:39.400 That's enough of that, thank you. 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:42.800 But if the official video wasn't bad enough, Will Smith 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:46.879 decided to gather a crowd and perform that catastrophe of 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:48.040 a song in London. 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:51.560 And just check out how excited the crowd is. 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:53.320 I'll change your life. 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:58.760 You me, girls, I like pretty girl. 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:06.280 No one's dancing. Will give it up son talking about dancing. 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:09.840 Here is proof that leftism ruins everything. 0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:11.359 Here is Alyssa Milano. 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:14.760 You may remember her from programs like Who's the Boss 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:15.520 and Charmed. 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:19.480 That was before Trump broke her. This is her now. 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:24.439 If you. 0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:37.280 Know, there's a bit of a Britney Spears vibe to 0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:38.400 these antics. 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:40.119 Is it a cry for help? 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:43.160 Pee? 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:54.000 Now to that comparison I mentioned earlier, comparison between a 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:58.280 year ago and now a year ago, this man was 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:21.840 the commander in chief, the lead of the free world. Yep, 0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:24.840 the lefties wanted you to believe he was perfectly fine. 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:26.880 No cognitive decline then at all. 0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:30.400 Well that was then, this is now tonight. 0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:33.520 I can report to the world that the strikes were 0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:40.280 a spectacular military success. Iran's key nuclear and Richmond facilities 0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:44.840 have been completely and totally obliterated around the bully of 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:48.080 the Middle East must now make peace. There will be 0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:51.880 either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran, far 0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:56.480 greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days. Remember, 0:20:56.560 --> 0:21:01.920 there are many targets left. Knights was the most difficult 0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:05.399 of them all by far, and perhaps the most lethal. 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:08.560 But if peace does not come quickly, we will go 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:13.200 after Those are the targets with precision, speed and skill. 0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:17.080 Can you detect the subtle difference between those two leaders. 0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:21.400 One was a cognitively impaired puppet control by FI left 0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:27.560 radicals who empowered the Iranian regime through weakness and terrible deals, 0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:32.360 and one has devastated the mad Mullers of the Iranian regime. 0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:37.240 Now the Democrats are demanding that Donald Trump informed them 0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:41.240 before any future attacks. Here is Adam Schiff on CNN. 0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:45.399 The failure to brief Democratic lawmakers the making this just 0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:51.040 another partisan exercise by the administration. The President didn't seek 0:21:51.119 --> 0:21:54.040 the approval of Congress, because he didn't make the case 0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:56.719 of the American people, because he didn't even inform one 0:21:56.760 --> 0:22:00.280 of the parties in Congress. That's when you have a 0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:04.240 real problem engaging in warfare on a partisan basis, So 0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:08.680 a lot of risks here for the country, which you 0:22:08.760 --> 0:22:11.320 know is the reason why you come to Congress in 0:22:11.359 --> 0:22:11.920
