WEBVTT - The Rita Panahi Show | 26 June

0:00:02.840 --> 0:00:04.519
<v Speaker 1>On skorlus Oscodia.

0:00:05.200 --> 0:00:07.280
<v Speaker 2>This is the Wader Panalty Show.

0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:11.200
<v Speaker 3>Good evening and welcome to the readA Panety show coming

0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:15.120
<v Speaker 3>up tonight. Anthony Alberizi refuses to expel rogue senator for

0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:19.279
<v Speaker 3>team of payman parents outrage as children are forced to

0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:23.279
<v Speaker 3>sing an indigenous national anthem. I'll speak with a young

0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:26.840
<v Speaker 3>female journalist who spent a scary night in the streets

0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:29.600
<v Speaker 3>of what used to be the world's most livable city,

0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:33.559
<v Speaker 3>and Army Horowitz with the latest from the US and

0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:37.440
<v Speaker 3>plenty of lefties losing it. I, on the other hand,

0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:42.879
<v Speaker 3>have chosen to live a life public service, but I

0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 3>am all for it.

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:45.920
<v Speaker 4>I even get yours if that's what you want.

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 3>Joining me now is Deputy Director of the Institute of

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:52.880
<v Speaker 3>Public Affairs Daniel Wilde.

0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:55.680
<v Speaker 5>Dan, let's start with the Prime Minister.

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 3>He's continuing to wage war against the Coalition for their

0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 3>nuclear energy policies, seizing on the fact that smaller liberals,

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:09.120
<v Speaker 3>those feckless state leaders are not backing Peter Dutton's nuclear strategy.

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:13.760
<v Speaker 6>New South Wales opposition leader. We can't wait for nuclear

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 6>Victorian Opposition leader. There are prohibitions in place, so I'm

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 6>not racing along the nuclear path, Victoria NATS leader, you

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.240
<v Speaker 6>wouldn't be surprised at our view is exactly the same

0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 6>as John Perzuto, Queen's leader.

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 1>I've been very.

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 6>Consistent with it. Nuclear is not planning in Queensland. I

0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:34.319
<v Speaker 6>hate to state be obvious, but they've just said that.

0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:39.360
<v Speaker 6>David Christopher Ley, Peter Walsh, John Persuito, Marke Speakman, Shane

0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.600
<v Speaker 6>Love and Guy Barnett are really relevant. Well, they are

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 6>as far as their plan is concerned, because their plan

0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 6>is friendless amongst their own people, amongst the Business Committee

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 6>and amongst anyone in the energy sector.

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.840
<v Speaker 5>Well, I'll tell you the Prime Minister has a point here.

0:01:56.120 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 3>When you've got liberal leaders being directtionless, being obstructionist, completely

0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 3>having no sense of what's needed in this country. It's

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:11.240
<v Speaker 3>not like they're actually entering their debate with ideas of

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:15.080
<v Speaker 3>their own that are constructive. It's just a no to

0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 3>something that is a proven technology that works elsewhere in

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:22.120
<v Speaker 3>the world beautifully. And again I keep saying it, we

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 3>are sitting on the world's biggest reserves of uranium in

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 3>this country.

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, you're right, And I think what Anthony Albernezi said

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:32.360
<v Speaker 7>then doesn't give him the conclusion that he intends, because

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 7>it shows that Peter Dutton is a leader and the

0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 7>State Liberals are not leaders. And if you look at

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.360
<v Speaker 7>what he's saying that the energy companies don't want it

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:42.480
<v Speaker 7>in the business community doesn't want it, and the political

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 7>class doesn't want it, okay, but the Australian people want it.

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:47.080
<v Speaker 1>So again it shows that there's a.

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:50.480
<v Speaker 7>Dichotomy between the political class and the interests of the elites.

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:54.080
<v Speaker 7>Who back renewed was because of the financial incentives and

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 7>the ideological component, but they won't support nuclear, or at

0:02:58.040 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 7>least not yet.

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:02.000
<v Speaker 1>And I think also the overreach we've.

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:06.120
<v Speaker 7>Seen in response to the coalition's plan is revealing. Because

0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:09.680
<v Speaker 7>the government knows that their own policy is failing. Energy

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 7>bills are going up, blackout risks going up.

0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:13.359
<v Speaker 1>The only thing.

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:15.520
<v Speaker 7>They have to talk about is Peter Dutton's plan, not

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 7>their own failing plan.

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:17.799
<v Speaker 5>No.

0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:21.760
<v Speaker 3>And you look at some of Chris Bowen's commentary, some

0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:25.959
<v Speaker 3>of the statements is putting out on social media. You

0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 3>really struggle to see how you can be the energy minister,

0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 3>the climate change minister. It sounds like some first year

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:36.280
<v Speaker 3>art student who's grappling with this issue. I really worry

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 3>about because we are facing the real prospect of running

0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 3>out of gas yep.

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:45.120
<v Speaker 7>And I think this will be similar to the Voice debate,

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.120
<v Speaker 7>which is the Government is not going to be able

0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 7>to make an argument to the Australian people because they're

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:54.280
<v Speaker 7>going to be caught short. Australians don't want net zero,

0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.120
<v Speaker 7>they don't want to pay for net zero. This renewable

0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:00.839
<v Speaker 7>is only renewables everywhere policy is being rejected by red Australians,

0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 7>and with very very good reason because the impact on

0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:06.320
<v Speaker 7>their life and as you sort of alluding to, the

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:10.240
<v Speaker 7>Energy Minister simply cannot sustain a meaningful argument in public,

0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 7>instead resorting to basically name calling. So the more Australian

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.280
<v Speaker 7>see of this, the more they'll turn against the government's policies.

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.600
<v Speaker 3>His antics are getting more desperate, I can tell you

0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.919
<v Speaker 3>on social media he's tweeting out Guardian articles. You know

0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:24.240
<v Speaker 3>you're scraping in the bottom of the barrel when you've

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:28.479
<v Speaker 3>got a resort to Guardian articles. Now let's look at Labor,

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:32.920
<v Speaker 3>who normally do have great party discipline, unlike the Liberals

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.400
<v Speaker 3>who are a broad church, too broad if you ask me.

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 3>But the PM is terrified of a millennial in a hijab,

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:44.000
<v Speaker 3>A young Muslim senator from WA for team of Payman,

0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:47.840
<v Speaker 3>who is the first federal Labor politician to cross the

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:52.040
<v Speaker 3>floor in eighteen years. She voted against the government on

0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:56.320
<v Speaker 3>a Greens motion recognizing the statehood of Palestine.

0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:01.560
<v Speaker 8>I was not elected as a token representa of diversity.

0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 5>I was elected to serve the people of Western.

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:08.440
<v Speaker 8>Australia and uphold the values instilled in me by my

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:12.000
<v Speaker 8>late father. Today I have made a decision that would

0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:15.919
<v Speaker 8>make him proud and make everyone proud who are on

0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:17.240
<v Speaker 8>the side of humanity.

0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:21.920
<v Speaker 3>I've got to say this is profoundly weak by the

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:26.719
<v Speaker 3>pm DAN. We know why he needs those voters in

0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:30.680
<v Speaker 3>those seats in Western Sydney. We know they're very energized

0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:35.799
<v Speaker 3>by this issue. But this set's a precedent. And what's

0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.920
<v Speaker 3>the going to stop the next Labor senator who feel

0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:42.440
<v Speaker 3>strongly about an issue defying the party and crossing the floor.

0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, it's a couple of things. I mean said it.

0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:47.400
<v Speaker 7>A Payment is a lightweight who she's barely able to

0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 7>defend her position in any sort of coherent manner.

0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:49.920
<v Speaker 1>There.

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:53.040
<v Speaker 7>You're right to say that this reinforces the Prime Minister

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:56.040
<v Speaker 7>is weak. Basically, you've got the Palestinian wing of the

0:05:56.120 --> 0:06:00.080
<v Speaker 7>Labor Party that is essentially running government policy because as

0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 7>you say, there's a handful of seats in mostly Western

0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:07.240
<v Speaker 7>Sydney with twenty or thirty percent Islamic population, and rather

0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:11.200
<v Speaker 7>actually leading the community to something better, they've capitulated to

0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:15.040
<v Speaker 7>these very extremist demands. It's not surprising that Anthony Alberanezi

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.840
<v Speaker 7>has failed to provide leadership on this issue because it's

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:20.280
<v Speaker 7>a pattern of repeated behavior and I think a lot

0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:22.800
<v Speaker 7>of Australians are concerned of the division and the lack

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.000
<v Speaker 7>of social cohesion we're seeing in our community on this

0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:25.880
<v Speaker 7>very issue.

0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.719
<v Speaker 3>Now, I want to talk about Julie Inman Grant, the

0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:34.440
<v Speaker 3>East Safety Commissioner. She's a complaint to the ABC during

0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:38.920
<v Speaker 3>a radio interview about the nickname we've coined for her

0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:43.160
<v Speaker 3>on this program and others like it. I'm sure you

0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:46.239
<v Speaker 3>don't watch Going News at Nate, but I'm they're punching

0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:48.440
<v Speaker 3>bag pretty much every night.

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.800
<v Speaker 5>They referred to me as E Karen, Oh dear.

0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 3>I mean, what a Karen thing to do for the

0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.640
<v Speaker 3>E Karen to go on the ABC and complain about

0:06:57.680 --> 0:06:59.479
<v Speaker 3>being called an e Karen, and I mean.

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:04.000
<v Speaker 5>Please, but playing the victim given some.

0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:08.680
<v Speaker 3>Of the outrageous rulings she has instituted, some of the

0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 3>absolutely mainstream views she are sought to censor, including the

0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:17.280
<v Speaker 3>notion that men can't breastfeed. I would have thought that

0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 3>was a fairly obvious logical take.

0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's right, and this is the issue.

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:25.680
<v Speaker 7>There are some laudable objectives that Julian Manngrand talks about

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:29.040
<v Speaker 7>protecting children, getting rid of child exploitation material and so forth,

0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:32.320
<v Speaker 7>which we all agree with and are not contested propositions.

0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:35.800
<v Speaker 7>The problem is that she has a history of activism,

0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:40.840
<v Speaker 7>ideologically driven activism, not about protecting children, but about censoring speech,

0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:43.920
<v Speaker 7>not just in Australia but globally. The whole reason she

0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:46.200
<v Speaker 7>wanted to take down the stabbing of the bishop in

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:49.400
<v Speaker 7>Western Sydney wasn't to do with protecting children from that content.

0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.640
<v Speaker 7>Is because she and her overlords in the Albanese government

0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:56.360
<v Speaker 7>didn't want the community to see the collapsing social cohesion

0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:58.520
<v Speaker 7>and the failure of our migration policy. So it was

0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 7>an attempt to CeNSE a debate. We've seen it with

0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:02.840
<v Speaker 7>the Voice to Parliament. We've seen it with issues pertaining

0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:05.720
<v Speaker 7>to gender, So if she wants to be respected.

0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:12.360
<v Speaker 3>Throughout the COVID crisis had not just very sane views

0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:18.040
<v Speaker 3>censored or shadow band suppressed, but voices of experts leading

0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:22.320
<v Speaker 3>into national infectious disease experts who were questioning some of

0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:25.520
<v Speaker 3>these rulings that we were told is the science, and

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:29.560
<v Speaker 3>they were censored. And I would argue that was destructive

0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:35.760
<v Speaker 3>in a number of ways, including preventing decent policy, preventing

0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.439
<v Speaker 3>best policy, and could have possibly cost lives.

0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:41.240
<v Speaker 7>Well, it was censored by government, big tech and also

0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:44.360
<v Speaker 7>by the ABC. The ABC wouldn't have a debate about

0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:47.240
<v Speaker 7>lockdowns or any other facet of the responsive governments. And

0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:49.960
<v Speaker 7>this is why the issue with the E Safety Commissioners.

0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:53.880
<v Speaker 7>It started as the Children's E Safety Commissioner, it metastasized

0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:58.160
<v Speaker 7>due to this bureaucratic growth. There's no democratic oversight. The

0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.800
<v Speaker 7>E Safety Commissioner has become a law and to herself

0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 7>and you need to retain it into the original objectives,

0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.360
<v Speaker 7>which is actually to get rid of unlawful and child

0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:08.679
<v Speaker 7>exploitation material rather than censoring opinion.

0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:13.680
<v Speaker 3>Now to Yarraville West Primary School in Melbourne, there has

0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:17.800
<v Speaker 3>been outrage amongst parents because children were made to sing

0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:21.120
<v Speaker 3>alternative Indigenous national anthem.

0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:23.480
<v Speaker 5>We don't have an Indigenous national anthem as far as

0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:23.840
<v Speaker 5>I know.

0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:27.520
<v Speaker 3>This is the music of our national anthem, but with

0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:31.600
<v Speaker 3>the lyrics change, so you've got things like and honoring

0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.200
<v Speaker 3>the Dreaming Advance Australia.

0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Fair.

0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:41.520
<v Speaker 3>Do we really want to have separate anthems, separate flags,

0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:45.760
<v Speaker 3>separate recognition based on race?

0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.479
<v Speaker 5>Do we not just have a referendum on this very issue?

0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:49.439
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's right.

0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 7>I think Australians wake up every day and we see

0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:54.840
<v Speaker 7>whether it's this, whether it's in Victoria, there's still work

0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.319
<v Speaker 7>towards a treaty. In South Australia, they've got a state

0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:00.400
<v Speaker 7>voice to Parliament. We're seen in Queensland in regards to

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:05.200
<v Speaker 7>kepel Ireland and other issues with native title. We voted

0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:08.160
<v Speaker 7>no to this. Australians voted no to racial division. They've

0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.800
<v Speaker 7>had a gupful of being divided by the elites. I

0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:14.320
<v Speaker 7>think the principal and anyone else involved in this at

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:17.640
<v Speaker 7>this school should be dismissed immediately.

0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:21.080
<v Speaker 3>Because politicization clearly, I mean, this is not how do

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:26.400
<v Speaker 3>you justify this other than to say this is what they.

0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:30.480
<v Speaker 5>Believe is morally right as a political.

0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:33.120
<v Speaker 7>Position that they believe Australia is a bad racist country

0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:35.719
<v Speaker 7>and as loon as if there's no discussion of our

0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:39.520
<v Speaker 7>history and indigenous affairs within that you know, it's almost

0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:42.640
<v Speaker 7>talked about incessantly. So look, this needs to be dealt

0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:46.120
<v Speaker 7>with very quickly and as I say, serious consequences for

0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:46.800
<v Speaker 7>those involved.

0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:51.000
<v Speaker 3>Now, the flag is another thing we've got to talk

0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:53.800
<v Speaker 3>about because we see the Prime Minister, we see as ministers.

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:57.720
<v Speaker 3>Every time they speak you can barely see the Australian flag.

0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:00.080
<v Speaker 3>There seem to be so many flags behind them. I

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:04.920
<v Speaker 3>think that's something else that is just needlessly divisive. Now

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.320
<v Speaker 3>this is from the UK. I had to check with

0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:09.800
<v Speaker 3>to see if it was April one. Surely this couldn't be.

0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:11.160
<v Speaker 5>Real, but sadly it is.

0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:15.800
<v Speaker 3>Academics from a museum in Oxford will be using British

0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:20.840
<v Speaker 3>taxpayer money to research the politics of milk and its

0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:25.280
<v Speaker 3>colonial legacies. Yes, one of the experts is previously insisted

0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:29.400
<v Speaker 3>milk is a Northern European obsession and has been imposed

0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:32.040
<v Speaker 3>on other parts of the world. Apparently the assumption that

0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:34.960
<v Speaker 3>milk is a key part of the human diet may

0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:39.320
<v Speaker 3>be understood as a white supremacist one. Obviously that's a

0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:46.160
<v Speaker 3>quote format. Doctor Johanna zettastorm Sharp. Her new project Milking It, Colonialism,

0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:51.040
<v Speaker 3>Heritage and Everyday Engagement with Derry has one funding from

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:56.400
<v Speaker 3>the Arts and Humanities Research Council. So Dan is milk racist?

0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:59.040
<v Speaker 3>I mean it is often white that troubles me.

0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:03.959
<v Speaker 7>Well, there's certainly milking taxpayers, we can.

0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Safely conclude that.

0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:06.840
<v Speaker 7>But it does go to this issue reader, which is

0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.480
<v Speaker 7>racism is now a trope. You know, it means everything

0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:13.480
<v Speaker 7>and it means nothing. Practically everything now is considered to

0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:17.720
<v Speaker 7>be racist. It has diminished the actual meaning of the

0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:19.720
<v Speaker 7>term and I think a lot of Australians when they

0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:23.600
<v Speaker 7>hear that term now basically tune out because it's so

0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:28.640
<v Speaker 7>widely used. And of course this is a taxpayer funded undertaking.

0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.000
<v Speaker 7>So look, it's just another example of I think how

0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.520
<v Speaker 7>academia and universities have lost their way and many people

0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:35.600
<v Speaker 7>are just tuning out.

0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:36.720
<v Speaker 5>From it now.

0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:40.920
<v Speaker 3>To the UK staying there, Nigel Farage, he's a party

0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:45.080
<v Speaker 3>Reform Party is one point ahead of the Conservatives. He's

0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:49.520
<v Speaker 3>sitting on nineteen percent. He was on gb News Breakfast

0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:53.240
<v Speaker 3>talking about immigration when behind him a boat full of

0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:57.120
<v Speaker 3>illegal immigrants could be seen making their way to Britain.

0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:01.640
<v Speaker 2>We are literally mid channel now between Dover and Calais

0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:06.880
<v Speaker 2>and behind me you can see a white dinghy. There

0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:10.000
<v Speaker 2>are forty five people on board. Behind it you can

0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:13.760
<v Speaker 2>see an escort vessel. Because that's what the French do.

0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.640
<v Speaker 2>Despite the five hundred million quick we've given them, they

0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.600
<v Speaker 2>literally once these boats are afloat, it's thort them to

0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:23.040
<v Speaker 2>our twelve mile line while they hand them over to Borderforce.

0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:27.800
<v Speaker 3>I tell you, he is just a master of exposing

0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:31.000
<v Speaker 3>the issues that people care about and doing it in

0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:34.160
<v Speaker 3>ways that speak to people who are not even politically engaged.

0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 3>But there's a reason why he's got such support and

0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:41.280
<v Speaker 3>the Tories are absolutely circling the train. They went to

0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:44.720
<v Speaker 3>elections promising that they were going to slash immigration to

0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:46.280
<v Speaker 3>tens of thousands per annum.

0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:48.480
<v Speaker 5>It was around a million last year.

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:49.120
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:51.120
<v Speaker 7>Well, I mean Nigel Ferras has given a voice to

0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:54.280
<v Speaker 7>the voiceless. Without him, Brexit would not have happened. That

0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:57.240
<v Speaker 7>was one of the single biggest political upheavals we've seen

0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:58.240
<v Speaker 7>in a generation.

0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:00.600
<v Speaker 1>He has provided a debate.

0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:03.320
<v Speaker 7>There's now actually a debate in the UK about net zero,

0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:06.880
<v Speaker 7>about migration, about the collapse of their culture. I would

0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:09.720
<v Speaker 7>rather the Tories have fixed themselves up and delivered, particularly

0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:13.280
<v Speaker 7>when Boris Johnson he had a once in a generational

0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:18.560
<v Speaker 7>opportunity to realign the Conservative Party with the working class

0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:21.720
<v Speaker 7>Britons who voted for Brexit, but he let the team down.

0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:25.160
<v Speaker 7>And it's basically been fourteen years of failure by the Tories.

0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:27.480
<v Speaker 7>So no wonder their polls are going down and farages

0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:30.600
<v Speaker 7>are going up. So look, I think that the monumental

0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:34.360
<v Speaker 7>contribution of Farrage has been making sure there's a debate

0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:37.400
<v Speaker 7>and giving voice to millions who don't see their views

0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:39.440
<v Speaker 7>or values in the major political parties.

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:41.520
<v Speaker 3>And I think he's looking at this as a two

0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:45.160
<v Speaker 3>election strategy. He just wants to be in a strong

0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:49.040
<v Speaker 3>position after this race and then to really bring in

0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:53.360
<v Speaker 3>those disaffected Tories, the MPs, the base and have a

0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:57.840
<v Speaker 3>new Conservative Party that actually stands for something. At Dan Wild,

0:14:57.880 --> 0:14:59.600
<v Speaker 3>thank you so much for your time to seeing Thank

0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:03.920
<v Speaker 3>you joining me now is Stephanie Bastian, research fellow for

0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:08.080
<v Speaker 3>the Women's Forum. Last week, the Victorian Liberals sided with

0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:10.960
<v Speaker 3>Labor against the cross Bench to pass a bill that

0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:14.360
<v Speaker 3>gives the Minister for Local Government the power to sack

0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:19.760
<v Speaker 3>democratically elected councilors at a time where conservative female counselors

0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:24.560
<v Speaker 3>are being harassed and vilified. Only two conservative women didn't

0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:28.600
<v Speaker 3>vote for this bill, Moira Deeming and Beth MacArthur, who

0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:31.600
<v Speaker 3>gave a passionate speech against the motion.

0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:36.280
<v Speaker 10>The victimization of counselors in Victoria. The victims I'm aware

0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:40.200
<v Speaker 10>of are mostly women, conservative women, but I'm not convinced

0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:43.440
<v Speaker 10>this is a sex based division. Sadly, some of the

0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:47.880
<v Speaker 10>most enthusiastic bullies of women. The motivation seems to be political.

0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:53.160
<v Speaker 3>Stephanie, how hopeless other Victorian lives. This is a rare

0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:57.680
<v Speaker 3>chance they had to stop some bad legislation. The crossbenchers

0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.640
<v Speaker 3>were against this, and yet they teamed up with Labor

0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:01.360
<v Speaker 3>to pass it.

0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:06.800
<v Speaker 11>This piece of legislation is the most undemocratic bill I

0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:10.600
<v Speaker 11>have seen since Daniel Andrews passed his ominious COVID health bill.

0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:14.160
<v Speaker 11>It is so disappointing because we know the arbitration process

0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:19.280
<v Speaker 11>that has been used to silence counselors, particularly those who

0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:22.240
<v Speaker 11>are perhaps conservative, who are women talking about sex based issues,

0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:26.560
<v Speaker 11>or liberals in labor dominated councils, the process is being

0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:30.440
<v Speaker 11>weaponized to silence them. You telling me that if a

0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:35.640
<v Speaker 11>labor dominated council recommends to the Labor Minister for Local

0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:38.960
<v Speaker 11>Government that a councilor should be sacked, he's going to decline.

0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:42.280
<v Speaker 11>I mean, seriously, it is so frustrating that the Liberals

0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:45.760
<v Speaker 11>didn't take the opportunity to side with the Crossbench and

0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:49.080
<v Speaker 11>vote down this horrendous piece of legislation. I really feel

0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:53.400
<v Speaker 11>for the counselors, particularly the women, and particularly Liberals who

0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:55.200
<v Speaker 11>will be feeling very betrayed by this.

0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:01.840
<v Speaker 3>Now, actor David Tenant apparently he is doctor who I've

0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:06.760
<v Speaker 3>never watched that series. He wants conservative MP Kemmy baden

0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:11.159
<v Speaker 3>Knock to know her place and not exist anymore and

0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:16.720
<v Speaker 3>keep quiet. Why because she has some very pro female views.

0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:19.520
<v Speaker 3>She does not believe men should be in female spaces,

0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:23.159
<v Speaker 3>she does not believe children should be given drugs and

0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:28.680
<v Speaker 3>treatments to change their gender. And for arguing against the

0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:31.359
<v Speaker 3>likes of Kemmy, David has won a prize and here

0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:32.080
<v Speaker 3>is his speech.

0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:36.200
<v Speaker 11>We shouldn't live in a world where that is worth

0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:37.000
<v Speaker 11>remarking on.

0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:42.400
<v Speaker 10>However, until we wake up and Kemmy Badenock doesn't exist anymore.

0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:50.120
<v Speaker 12>I don't wish ell of her.

0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:51.720
<v Speaker 13>I just wish her to shut up.

0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:59.040
<v Speaker 3>Kemmy Badenknock has responded to that on X She has written,

0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.600
<v Speaker 3>I will not shut up. I will not be silenced

0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:07.160
<v Speaker 3>by men who prioritize applause from stone Wall over the

0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:10.280
<v Speaker 3>safety of women and girls. A rich, lefty white mouse

0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:14.080
<v Speaker 3>celebrity is so blinded by ideology he can't see the

0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:18.080
<v Speaker 3>optics of attacking the only black women in government by

0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:23.359
<v Speaker 3>calling publicly for my existence to end. She makes an

0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:26.960
<v Speaker 3>excellent point there, Stephanie, how do you see this clash?

0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:30.959
<v Speaker 11>I think his comments were vile and disgusting and he

0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:34.439
<v Speaker 11>should absolutely apologize. If he had made those comments to

0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:37.840
<v Speaker 11>anyone else will be Goldberg, for example, they would be

0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:42.360
<v Speaker 11>yelling out that he was being racist, misogynist, inciting violence.

0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.520
<v Speaker 11>But because Kemy is the wrong sort of woman, somehow

0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:48.639
<v Speaker 11>it's okay. I think David should go and speak to

0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:51.520
<v Speaker 11>some of the women who've been victims of this gender ideology.

0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:54.720
<v Speaker 11>There is a reason the UK banned men transferring into

0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:57.520
<v Speaker 11>women's prisons or into hospital because women were being sexually

0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:00.639
<v Speaker 11>assaulted by male predators who identified as were, So if

0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:02.280
<v Speaker 11>I were David, I would go and speak to some

0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:06.280
<v Speaker 11>of those victims and then give a public apology to Kemi.

0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:11.040
<v Speaker 3>I think he needs to do more than a public apology.

0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:15.800
<v Speaker 3>Some of his viewpoints on this are just so extreme, Stephanie,

0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:18.560
<v Speaker 3>you really wonder what's happening in the entertainment world. But

0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:21.199
<v Speaker 3>as you saw there, he's getting awards for it, so

0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:24.000
<v Speaker 3>this is rewarded.

0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:24.560
<v Speaker 5>While someone like JK.

0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:28.800
<v Speaker 3>Rowling they demonize as a bigot for stating very much

0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:30.320
<v Speaker 3>mainstream views.

0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:31.560
<v Speaker 5>Now, one of my.

0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:36.119
<v Speaker 3>Favorite writers and broadcasters is also a comic. Andrew Doyle

0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:40.880
<v Speaker 3>has written a fantastic piece for Spiked magazine urging gay

0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:45.080
<v Speaker 3>people to turn their backs on Pride. He says pride

0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:49.320
<v Speaker 3>has transformed from an important act of resistance into a

0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:55.000
<v Speaker 3>month long orgy of corporatism virtue signaling full of heterosexuals

0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:58.720
<v Speaker 3>desperate to identify themselves into an oppressed group with the

0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:01.720
<v Speaker 3>help of trans ida theology. A poll from twenty twenty

0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:05.679
<v Speaker 3>one determined that almost forty percent of Americans between the

0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:09.840
<v Speaker 3>ages of eighteen and twenty four now identify as LGBTQ.

0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:14.480
<v Speaker 3>Given the vast majority identifying as such do so as

0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:18.800
<v Speaker 3>trans non binary and queer. This means it is statistically

0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:22.680
<v Speaker 3>certain that gay people are now the minority in this coalition.

0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:26.680
<v Speaker 3>The early pioneers of gay rights didn't risk so much

0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:32.080
<v Speaker 3>for their movement to be You're served by fetishists, heterosexuals

0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:35.080
<v Speaker 3>with a martyr complex. So he's got away with words.

0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:38.720
<v Speaker 3>I've got to say, there is definitely seventy a split

0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:44.200
<v Speaker 3>appearing among some members of the LGBTQIA plus plus community.

0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:47.560
<v Speaker 3>And you've got those first three letters and some members

0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:51.479
<v Speaker 3>who identify as those first three letters wanting to distance

0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:55.119
<v Speaker 3>themselves from the remainder of the expanding group.

0:20:56.840 --> 0:21:00.000
<v Speaker 11>Absolutely, I think this movement has been hijacked by activists.

0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:05.800
<v Speaker 11>It's no longer about equal rights and acceptance. They are

0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:09.600
<v Speaker 11>running a radical gender ideology that's incredibly harmful. Kids who

0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:13.000
<v Speaker 11>don't subscribe to typical gender stereotypes such as masculine and

0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:15.640
<v Speaker 11>femininity are told they're born in the wrong body.

0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Men in their.

0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:19.119
<v Speaker 11>Fifties are saying they're born in the wrong body and

0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:22.600
<v Speaker 11>they're now lesbians. I mean, they are losing their rights.

0:21:22.640 --> 0:21:25.480
<v Speaker 11>There's no room for discussion or debate. You're either an

0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:28.639
<v Speaker 11>ally or you're the enemy. And I think it's causing

0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:34.480
<v Speaker 11>enormous harm, particularly in the LGB movement. The LGB without

0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:37.360
<v Speaker 11>the T you can see why there is a push

0:21:37.680 --> 0:21:40.959
<v Speaker 11>push away. Reasonable minded people are abandoning this more and

0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:44.439
<v Speaker 11>more increasingly, particularly as the Pride movement gets more and

0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:45.120
<v Speaker 11>more extreme.

0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:50.399
<v Speaker 3>And it's hard to argue that this is an oppressed

0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:54.840
<v Speaker 3>group in the West where you've got every corporate, every institution,

0:21:55.200 --> 0:21:56.719
<v Speaker 3>the celebrity.

0:21:56.080 --> 0:22:00.800
<v Speaker 5>Class, the activist class, everyone push this agenda.

0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:05.800
<v Speaker 3>So this whole notion that this is an oppressed, underrepresented group,

0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:09.240
<v Speaker 3>I think is something else that needs to be debated.

0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:11.919
<v Speaker 3>Seventy Bastion, thank you so much for your time this evening.

0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:16.119
<v Speaker 3>Thank you reader still to come. Left is Losing it

0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:20.280
<v Speaker 3>and Army Horowitz on why seventy percent of Americans want

0:22:20.400 --> 0:22:24.200
<v Speaker 3>Joe Biden and Donald Trump drug tested ahead of their

0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:25.240
<v Speaker 3>sin and debate.

0:22:34.640 --> 0:22:35.399
<v Speaker 5>Welcome back.

0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:38.080
<v Speaker 3>Now it's time for lefties losing and and.

0:22:38.040 --> 0:22:39.840
<v Speaker 5>I regret to inform you that the.

0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:44.639
<v Speaker 3>TV studios are added again pushing trans and racial activism

0:22:44.680 --> 0:22:46.359
<v Speaker 3>onto kids as young as too.

0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:50.879
<v Speaker 5>This is Nickelodeon, ni Hi.

0:22:56.240 --> 0:23:01.040
<v Speaker 11>Like or healing, Yellow Sun like, Green Meets It, Purple

0:23:01.280 --> 0:23:02.560
<v Speaker 11>is spirit, Baby.

0:23:02.280 --> 0:23:07.040
<v Speaker 12>Blue can't represent tresgender people and black and brown represent

0:23:07.119 --> 0:23:08.360
<v Speaker 12>the queer and trans.

0:23:08.160 --> 0:23:09.159
<v Speaker 1>People of color.

0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:14.520
<v Speaker 5>The queer and trans people of color.

0:23:14.600 --> 0:23:18.160
<v Speaker 3>I can just imagine the bewildered toddlers watching that.

0:23:18.840 --> 0:23:19.000
<v Speaker 10>Now.

0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:20.919
<v Speaker 3>You know, we can never go too long in this

0:23:21.000 --> 0:23:24.480
<v Speaker 3>segment without featuring the work of the ladies of the view.

0:23:24.600 --> 0:23:29.560
<v Speaker 3>Each and every episode showcases just how broken the hosts are,

0:23:29.600 --> 0:23:33.080
<v Speaker 3>including the alpha female of the pack, Whoopee, who could

0:23:33.080 --> 0:23:39.159
<v Speaker 3>not even bring herself to say Trump's name without spitting gross.

0:23:39.520 --> 0:23:40.840
<v Speaker 4>I think it would be.

0:23:42.600 --> 0:23:46.239
<v Speaker 14>Remiss of us to not say Joe Biden knows how

0:23:46.280 --> 0:23:48.560
<v Speaker 14>to do this. Yes, he knows how to do this.

0:23:48.600 --> 0:23:52.400
<v Speaker 14>He's he's quite good at this. And you know you

0:23:52.440 --> 0:23:55.600
<v Speaker 14>can't refute anything with him because he just when I

0:23:55.640 --> 0:23:59.960
<v Speaker 14>say him, I mean Trump, he tends to.

0:23:59.880 --> 0:24:03.320
<v Speaker 5>Just can I mention one day?

0:24:04.320 --> 0:24:08.280
<v Speaker 3>Ah, They're so bitter, broken and miserable. I'm not sure

0:24:08.320 --> 0:24:11.240
<v Speaker 3>why that makes me smile, but it does. But this

0:24:11.440 --> 0:24:15.320
<v Speaker 3>next clip is no laughing matter. It should fill you

0:24:15.440 --> 0:24:20.239
<v Speaker 3>with fear. This is Andalae nick Tama, who has just

0:24:20.560 --> 0:24:24.320
<v Speaker 3>been sworn in as a member of Parliament in South Africa,

0:24:25.160 --> 0:24:27.880
<v Speaker 3>and let's have a look at some of his earlier

0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:31.560
<v Speaker 3>work calling for the revenge killing of white people. The

0:24:31.680 --> 0:24:35.760
<v Speaker 3>murder of white South African men, women and children.

0:24:39.960 --> 0:24:44.480
<v Speaker 12>Were we killed the humor were killed out bobs.

0:24:44.840 --> 0:24:51.400
<v Speaker 3>We now to a clip showing a woman in Muslim

0:24:51.440 --> 0:24:55.320
<v Speaker 3>garb encouraging a couple of Western girls to give the

0:24:55.480 --> 0:24:56.439
<v Speaker 3>veil a go.

0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:04.399
<v Speaker 9>So can you.

0:25:11.760 --> 0:25:21.120
<v Speaker 5>More Yes, what a transformation. I wonder how you.

0:25:21.080 --> 0:25:23.879
<v Speaker 3>Would go if you took a couple of shorts and

0:25:24.000 --> 0:25:27.400
<v Speaker 3>crop tops to Afghanistan and encourage the local women there

0:25:27.440 --> 0:25:31.159
<v Speaker 3>to try it on for a cultural enrichment. Let's not

0:25:31.240 --> 0:25:34.760
<v Speaker 3>forget women in countries like Iran are risking their lives

0:25:34.920 --> 0:25:37.720
<v Speaker 3>fighting against compulsory hijab.

0:25:38.359 --> 0:25:40.639
<v Speaker 5>Now another profound.

0:25:40.240 --> 0:25:44.800
<v Speaker 3>Bit of communication from the veep here, Kamala Harris explains

0:25:44.960 --> 0:25:46.000
<v Speaker 3>community banks.

0:25:46.560 --> 0:25:49.400
<v Speaker 4>So the importance of community banks is they are as

0:25:49.480 --> 0:25:54.040
<v Speaker 4>they are called, they're in the community, led by members

0:25:54.080 --> 0:25:59.919
<v Speaker 4>of the community. They are people who understand the capacity

0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:02.960
<v Speaker 4>of the community, the needs of the community, the culture

0:26:03.000 --> 0:26:03.800
<v Speaker 4>of the community.

0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:08.200
<v Speaker 3>Did you get that community banks are banks and they're

0:26:08.240 --> 0:26:09.320
<v Speaker 3>also in the community.

0:26:09.680 --> 0:26:10.720
<v Speaker 5>Quite profound there.

0:26:11.040 --> 0:26:14.680
<v Speaker 3>Let's have some more financial advice from the woman one

0:26:15.040 --> 0:26:18.000
<v Speaker 3>geriatric heartbeat away from the Oval office.

0:26:18.640 --> 0:26:21.280
<v Speaker 4>To aspire to create wealth is a good thing as

0:26:21.320 --> 0:26:27.240
<v Speaker 4>far as I'm concerned. If that is what one chooses. I,

0:26:27.359 --> 0:26:29.080
<v Speaker 4>on the other hand, have chosen to live a life

0:26:29.240 --> 0:26:34.639
<v Speaker 4>public services. But I am all for it if you

0:26:34.720 --> 0:26:37.280
<v Speaker 4>get yours, if that's what you want.

0:26:38.480 --> 0:26:42.200
<v Speaker 3>Hilarious that public service, none of it good. Has seen

0:26:42.240 --> 0:26:46.080
<v Speaker 3>Kamala Harris accumulate a net worth somewhere between seven and

0:26:46.320 --> 0:26:50.159
<v Speaker 3>fifteen million, according to media reports. Now let's go to

0:26:50.280 --> 0:26:54.159
<v Speaker 3>some local lefties losing and here are the climate cultis

0:26:54.160 --> 0:26:57.320
<v Speaker 3>to think they are saving the world one blockade, one

0:26:57.359 --> 0:26:59.440
<v Speaker 3>foolish protest at a time.

0:26:59.480 --> 0:27:02.040
<v Speaker 5>And they've also started singing.

0:27:03.680 --> 0:27:09.919
<v Speaker 15>Stop in the name of life, before we break gapard

0:27:10.440 --> 0:27:16.040
<v Speaker 15>start up in the name of life. This our last

0:27:16.119 --> 0:27:22.639
<v Speaker 15>chance before this crammy is killing us. Chossyola, this is

0:27:22.680 --> 0:27:24.760
<v Speaker 15>called is killing us.

0:27:24.800 --> 0:27:31.720
<v Speaker 3>Stop who wow wow, before you mock us In Australia

0:27:31.880 --> 0:27:35.800
<v Speaker 3>too much. The Yanks have plenty of climate cranks of

0:27:35.920 --> 0:27:38.840
<v Speaker 3>their own. In recent days, they've managed to disrupt a

0:27:38.960 --> 0:27:42.399
<v Speaker 3>golf tournament and a congressional baseball game.

0:27:42.680 --> 0:27:45.199
<v Speaker 5>Just watch these soy boys and girls go.

0:28:14.440 --> 0:28:14.640
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:28:14.680 --> 0:28:18.159
<v Speaker 3>The latest scare campaign they're running against Trump is to

0:28:18.200 --> 0:28:23.520
<v Speaker 3>have a bunch of activist economists suggest Trump's presidency.

0:28:23.000 --> 0:28:26.600
<v Speaker 5>Could be disastrous for the US economy. And the world.

0:28:27.119 --> 0:28:29.919
<v Speaker 3>This is the same scam mangering Missaul before two thousand

0:28:29.960 --> 0:28:32.879
<v Speaker 3>and six day. Do they think the American people have

0:28:33.080 --> 0:28:36.919
<v Speaker 3>mass amnesia? Let's hear from a woman I did not

0:28:37.280 --> 0:28:41.920
<v Speaker 3>expect to be backing Trump. ARC invest founder Kathy.

0:28:41.600 --> 0:28:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Wood Trump Robiden.

0:28:48.840 --> 0:28:52.640
<v Speaker 13>So, as I've said to my children, So have two

0:28:52.640 --> 0:28:56.120
<v Speaker 13>girls and a boy, and they're split on this. As

0:28:56.160 --> 0:29:00.320
<v Speaker 13>I've said to them, look, I am going to vote

0:29:00.360 --> 0:29:03.960
<v Speaker 13>for the person who's going to do the best job

0:29:04.040 --> 0:29:07.240
<v Speaker 13>for our economy. I am a voter when it comes

0:29:07.320 --> 0:29:13.080
<v Speaker 13>to economics, and on that basis Trump I mean, yeah, if.

0:29:16.040 --> 0:29:16.120
<v Speaker 4>So.

0:29:18.240 --> 0:29:22.200
<v Speaker 13>Art Laffer describes the first three years of the Trump

0:29:22.280 --> 0:29:27.320
<v Speaker 13>presidency as the best in US economic history, not the

0:29:27.400 --> 0:29:31.760
<v Speaker 13>last one because of COVID, but and I would agree. Wow,

0:29:32.120 --> 0:29:33.800
<v Speaker 13>and I went through economics too.

0:29:34.680 --> 0:29:37.600
<v Speaker 3>The first three years of the Trump economy were the

0:29:37.640 --> 0:29:39.560
<v Speaker 3>best in US history.

0:29:39.680 --> 0:29:41.280
<v Speaker 5>That was the quote. Very interesting.

0:29:41.720 --> 0:29:45.120
<v Speaker 3>Also interesting is the realization for many on the left,

0:29:45.160 --> 0:29:49.000
<v Speaker 3>including Trump deranged media types like Bill Maher, that the

0:29:49.120 --> 0:29:52.680
<v Speaker 3>lawfare the Democrats have engaged in to convict Trump on

0:29:53.360 --> 0:29:56.080
<v Speaker 3>nonsense charges has backfired.

0:29:56.200 --> 0:29:57.200
<v Speaker 5>Here is Bill.

0:29:57.040 --> 0:30:01.520
<v Speaker 3>Maher with former New York Governor Andrew Tumo, Democrat. Naturally

0:30:02.040 --> 0:30:06.320
<v Speaker 3>confirming what we've been saying all along. These chargers would

0:30:06.360 --> 0:30:09.680
<v Speaker 3>have never been manufactured if Trump wasn't running.

0:30:10.480 --> 0:30:13.880
<v Speaker 9>The trial in New York, the one he got convicted

0:30:13.920 --> 0:30:18.360
<v Speaker 9>for was the greatest fundraising bonanzaver is. Now he was

0:30:18.520 --> 0:30:21.600
<v Speaker 9>lagging behind Biden, and now he's pulled quite a bit ahead.

0:30:21.960 --> 0:30:26.160
<v Speaker 9>That trial was the greatest reason people had to send

0:30:26.320 --> 0:30:30.200
<v Speaker 9>their checks for five, ten, twenty five whatever dollars to

0:30:30.280 --> 0:30:33.200
<v Speaker 9>Donald Trump. So I was always with you on the

0:30:33.400 --> 0:30:35.240
<v Speaker 9>one in New York, the hush money trial. I don't

0:30:35.240 --> 0:30:37.080
<v Speaker 9>think they should have brought that one. It was just

0:30:37.080 --> 0:30:39.880
<v Speaker 9>always going to look like a sex case and people

0:30:39.880 --> 0:30:41.520
<v Speaker 9>were always just going to look at it that way.

0:30:42.400 --> 0:30:45.840
<v Speaker 16>So anyway, that case, the attorney general's case in New York, frankly,

0:30:45.880 --> 0:30:48.920
<v Speaker 16>should have never been brought. And if his name was

0:30:48.920 --> 0:30:51.720
<v Speaker 16>not Donald Trump, and if he wasn't running for president,

0:30:51.920 --> 0:30:54.040
<v Speaker 16>I'm the former agent in New York. I'm telling you

0:30:54.080 --> 0:30:56.680
<v Speaker 16>that case would have never been brought. And that's what

0:30:56.800 --> 0:31:01.000
<v Speaker 16>is offensive to people, and it should be because if

0:31:01.000 --> 0:31:03.760
<v Speaker 16>there's anything left, it's belief in the justice.

0:31:03.800 --> 0:31:08.720
<v Speaker 3>Sym Joining me now is journalists and filmmaker Army Horowitz.

0:31:08.920 --> 0:31:11.480
<v Speaker 3>Army the front page of the New York Post says

0:31:11.520 --> 0:31:15.240
<v Speaker 3>it all betrayal. There is Alvin Bragg there who has

0:31:15.400 --> 0:31:22.120
<v Speaker 3>dropped charges against anti Israeli activists who rampaged at Columbia University.

0:31:22.680 --> 0:31:24.280
<v Speaker 5>The New York district.

0:31:23.840 --> 0:31:27.520
<v Speaker 3>Attorney who brought Donald Trump to trial is letting the

0:31:27.640 --> 0:31:31.520
<v Speaker 3>violent processes of Scott Free and Army.

0:31:31.560 --> 0:31:33.880
<v Speaker 5>I would say this sets a dangerous precedent.

0:31:33.960 --> 0:31:38.560
<v Speaker 3>Is it okay to aggressively harass and intimidate Jewish people

0:31:38.600 --> 0:31:39.840
<v Speaker 3>in New York these days?

0:31:41.640 --> 0:31:45.640
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, this is a disgusting betrayal. And I'm not even

0:31:45.640 --> 0:31:49.120
<v Speaker 12>the least bit surprised. Unfortunately, this is Derah Gore for

0:31:49.160 --> 0:31:52.920
<v Speaker 12>what's happening in our blue cities. When people attack Jews,

0:31:53.000 --> 0:31:55.440
<v Speaker 12>it's fine, It's open season when it comes to the

0:31:55.440 --> 0:31:59.800
<v Speaker 12>harassment of Jews. Look, this has been I was with

0:31:59.840 --> 0:32:02.080
<v Speaker 12>this Columbia protesters. I did videos with them, I spent

0:32:02.200 --> 0:32:06.160
<v Speaker 12>hours with them. They were aggressive, they were nasty, they

0:32:06.160 --> 0:32:10.280
<v Speaker 12>were physical, they were literally physically intimidating Jewish students from

0:32:10.280 --> 0:32:16.640
<v Speaker 12>attending classes before any arrest happened whatsoever. And look I

0:32:16.640 --> 0:32:18.800
<v Speaker 12>helped to remind you we talked about the show before.

0:32:18.960 --> 0:32:21.560
<v Speaker 12>When I went and I took out the American flag

0:32:21.840 --> 0:32:25.600
<v Speaker 12>at a public campus, and I paid taxes for When

0:32:25.640 --> 0:32:31.120
<v Speaker 12>I was attacked aggressively by these protesters, I was attained,

0:32:31.600 --> 0:32:34.080
<v Speaker 12>not anybody who attacked me, who beat me. And when

0:32:34.080 --> 0:32:35.880
<v Speaker 12>I was detained, I was talking to the police and

0:32:35.920 --> 0:32:38.280
<v Speaker 12>why would why am I under arrest? They said, well,

0:32:38.280 --> 0:32:40.200
<v Speaker 12>we have a mandate from above. Of course we'll talking

0:32:40.200 --> 0:32:42.880
<v Speaker 12>about Alvin Bragg, of course talking about the mayor. This

0:32:42.920 --> 0:32:44.960
<v Speaker 12>is the situation we have in New York. And of

0:32:45.000 --> 0:32:47.920
<v Speaker 12>course if you don't fight back against these people, you're

0:32:47.960 --> 0:32:49.800
<v Speaker 12>going to get more of this. Right, That's what we

0:32:49.840 --> 0:32:52.840
<v Speaker 12>saw in the synagogue in California, and they stopped Jews

0:32:53.000 --> 0:32:55.960
<v Speaker 12>from entering synagogues because they know it's open season that

0:32:56.000 --> 0:32:57.640
<v Speaker 12>it's fine.

0:32:59.160 --> 0:33:02.880
<v Speaker 3>Well, it seems to be an issue that goes beyond

0:33:02.920 --> 0:33:08.800
<v Speaker 3>these protests. We've seen violent criminals who are released again

0:33:08.960 --> 0:33:14.080
<v Speaker 3>and again, whilst you've got brag preoccupied with this nonsense

0:33:14.160 --> 0:33:16.560
<v Speaker 3>with Trump. Now that's out of the way, but it

0:33:16.640 --> 0:33:21.680
<v Speaker 3>seems that philosophy of not putting people in jail when

0:33:21.720 --> 0:33:25.000
<v Speaker 3>they commit violent offenses is continuing in New York. Is

0:33:25.040 --> 0:33:28.160
<v Speaker 3>there going to be any change in that? Is there

0:33:28.000 --> 0:33:32.520
<v Speaker 3>any sort of uprising from the local population there who

0:33:32.520 --> 0:33:33.920
<v Speaker 3>are sick of the crime rate.

0:33:35.360 --> 0:33:38.440
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, no, people see. This is what we are finding

0:33:38.480 --> 0:33:40.720
<v Speaker 12>is that people when they are even if they are

0:33:40.920 --> 0:33:43.840
<v Speaker 12>left of center, right and they're Democrats, when they're confronted

0:33:43.880 --> 0:33:49.360
<v Speaker 12>with reality, they in fact do start to show their discomfort.

0:33:50.120 --> 0:33:52.360
<v Speaker 12>You know, I think you're now seeing in the polls

0:33:52.360 --> 0:33:57.320
<v Speaker 12>across the country where in states where Democrats have dominated,

0:33:57.600 --> 0:34:00.960
<v Speaker 12>right in Virginia where Republican hasn't won over twenty years,

0:34:01.040 --> 0:34:04.080
<v Speaker 12>in Minnesota republic has on over fifteen years, right in

0:34:04.120 --> 0:34:07.480
<v Speaker 12>New York state, or Republican hasn't won also in over

0:34:07.520 --> 0:34:10.239
<v Speaker 12>twenty five years, we're seeing these things creep within the

0:34:10.280 --> 0:34:12.759
<v Speaker 12>margin of error or be tied or in the state

0:34:12.760 --> 0:34:15.800
<v Speaker 12>of New York, far better than ever done before. Because

0:34:15.800 --> 0:34:18.960
<v Speaker 12>whether it comes with crime or immigration, I think people

0:34:19.040 --> 0:34:22.080
<v Speaker 12>now see, even Democrats, this cannot work.

0:34:22.160 --> 0:34:23.480
<v Speaker 5>This cannot stand.

0:34:25.200 --> 0:34:25.480
<v Speaker 14>Well.

0:34:25.520 --> 0:34:28.160
<v Speaker 3>Donald Trump and Joe Biden and we'll face off in

0:34:28.239 --> 0:34:33.319
<v Speaker 3>their first televised election debate for twenty twenty four. It's

0:34:33.360 --> 0:34:37.920
<v Speaker 3>this Thursday, Friday morning, our time. The rules they've set

0:34:37.960 --> 0:34:41.880
<v Speaker 3>out for this debate seem to favor Joe Biden, things

0:34:41.960 --> 0:34:45.120
<v Speaker 3>like muting the microphones unless it's their turn to speak,

0:34:45.200 --> 0:34:48.520
<v Speaker 3>and no live audience, and really, does anyone think the

0:34:48.520 --> 0:34:52.920
<v Speaker 3>Biden camp hasn't got the questions already? And this debate

0:34:53.160 --> 0:34:59.040
<v Speaker 3>is on a vehemently anti Trump network CNN that relentlessly

0:34:59.120 --> 0:35:03.800
<v Speaker 3>pushed every conspiracy theory and hoax, from the Russian collusion

0:35:03.880 --> 0:35:06.880
<v Speaker 3>hoax to the fine people on both sides lie, to

0:35:06.960 --> 0:35:12.279
<v Speaker 3>the Hunter Biden laptop being Russian disinformation and army. The

0:35:12.360 --> 0:35:17.760
<v Speaker 3>debate is going to be moderated by two Trump deranged individuals,

0:35:17.880 --> 0:35:21.840
<v Speaker 3>Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. Now everyone knows what a

0:35:21.880 --> 0:35:25.120
<v Speaker 3>biased hack Bash is, but some still think despite his

0:35:25.280 --> 0:35:31.000
<v Speaker 3>part in enthusiastically pushing every anti Trump disinformation we've heard

0:35:31.040 --> 0:35:33.960
<v Speaker 3>in recent years, a lot of people still.

0:35:33.719 --> 0:35:36.960
<v Speaker 5>Think Tape is a straight shooter. But just have a

0:35:37.000 --> 0:35:40.400
<v Speaker 5>look at this. See how overjoyed.

0:35:39.520 --> 0:35:43.080
<v Speaker 3>He was when he learned Trump would no longer be president.

0:35:44.200 --> 0:35:49.279
<v Speaker 17>Extreme divisions, many of the divisions caused and exacerbated by

0:35:49.280 --> 0:35:53.600
<v Speaker 17>President Trump himself. It's been a time of several significant

0:35:53.719 --> 0:35:58.160
<v Speaker 17>and utterly avoidable failures, most tragically, of course, the unwillingness

0:35:58.640 --> 0:36:01.080
<v Speaker 17>to respect facts and signs and do everything that could

0:36:01.080 --> 0:36:03.319
<v Speaker 17>be done to save lives during a pandemic. It has

0:36:03.360 --> 0:36:07.000
<v Speaker 17>been a time where truth in fact, we're treated with disdain.

0:36:08.040 --> 0:36:11.160
<v Speaker 1>It is a time of cruelty. We're official in.

0:36:11.280 --> 0:36:15.840
<v Speaker 17>Humanity, such as child separation became the official shameful policy

0:36:15.840 --> 0:36:19.600
<v Speaker 17>of the United States. But now the Trump presidency is

0:36:19.640 --> 0:36:23.520
<v Speaker 17>coming to an end, to an end with so many

0:36:23.560 --> 0:36:27.319
<v Speaker 17>squandered opportunities and ruined potential, but also an era of

0:36:27.480 --> 0:36:31.800
<v Speaker 17>just plain meanness. It must be said, to paraphrase President Ford,

0:36:32.440 --> 0:36:36.400
<v Speaker 17>for tens of millions of our fellow Americans, their long

0:36:36.520 --> 0:36:38.560
<v Speaker 17>national nightmare is over.

0:36:40.640 --> 0:36:42.280
<v Speaker 5>The nightmare is over.

0:36:42.480 --> 0:36:45.960
<v Speaker 3>The meanness of the border policies. Are me not respecting

0:36:46.000 --> 0:36:49.719
<v Speaker 3>the COVID science? That little ranch hasn't an h too?

0:36:49.760 --> 0:36:49.960
<v Speaker 5>Well?

0:36:52.120 --> 0:36:56.440
<v Speaker 12>No, Look, I actually have no Jake Taper a little bit.

0:36:57.719 --> 0:36:59.680
<v Speaker 12>We're someone in contact with each other. I kind of

0:36:59.760 --> 0:37:03.160
<v Speaker 12>like personally, and I think that everything res relative speaking,

0:37:03.239 --> 0:37:06.000
<v Speaker 12>I think relative to other people on CNN ORSNBC. He's

0:37:06.040 --> 0:37:08.799
<v Speaker 12>not that terrible. He is absolutely no fans.

0:37:11.640 --> 0:37:11.960
<v Speaker 5>True.

0:37:12.239 --> 0:37:12.560
<v Speaker 1>True.

0:37:12.719 --> 0:37:15.520
<v Speaker 12>Look, at the end of the day, why did Trump

0:37:15.600 --> 0:37:19.040
<v Speaker 12>take the debates so quickly even though he knew that

0:37:19.400 --> 0:37:22.680
<v Speaker 12>it was stacked against him. He didn't because Joe Biden

0:37:22.760 --> 0:37:25.040
<v Speaker 12>wasn't going to debate otherwise. Right, Look, we were debating

0:37:25.040 --> 0:37:27.440
<v Speaker 12>this and talking about this before uh there was a

0:37:27.440 --> 0:37:30.560
<v Speaker 12>good chance there will be a first time in presidential history,

0:37:30.600 --> 0:37:33.840
<v Speaker 12>modern presidential history that there wasn't going to be a debate.

0:37:34.000 --> 0:37:36.560
<v Speaker 12>Trump knew that and needed to make this move in

0:37:36.640 --> 0:37:39.719
<v Speaker 12>order to get Biden to debate. We all know the

0:37:39.840 --> 0:37:43.120
<v Speaker 12>bias against Republican candidates on these debate stages. This is

0:37:43.160 --> 0:37:45.880
<v Speaker 12>nothing new. The debates are run by the mainstream media,

0:37:45.960 --> 0:37:48.359
<v Speaker 12>they're hosted by the mainstream media, and we all know

0:37:48.400 --> 0:37:52.799
<v Speaker 12>statistically they vote Democratic, no question about it. But the

0:37:52.840 --> 0:37:57.239
<v Speaker 12>truth is this debate it is so important because you

0:37:57.280 --> 0:38:00.239
<v Speaker 12>know this, this race is so tight that even though

0:38:00.239 --> 0:38:02.439
<v Speaker 12>Trump is leading in a lot of the battleground state,

0:38:02.480 --> 0:38:05.680
<v Speaker 12>they're all in a statistical dead heat and there aren't

0:38:05.719 --> 0:38:08.400
<v Speaker 12>going to be many inflection points to the course of

0:38:08.400 --> 0:38:10.960
<v Speaker 12>this election. This is going to be one of those

0:38:11.040 --> 0:38:14.200
<v Speaker 12>inflection points. And in fact, I do think that this

0:38:14.400 --> 0:38:18.200
<v Speaker 12>debate will set the trajectory for the rest of this election.

0:38:18.480 --> 0:38:21.400
<v Speaker 12>It will be very difficult if somebody takes a large

0:38:21.480 --> 0:38:24.040
<v Speaker 12>lead from this debate, it will be very hard for

0:38:24.080 --> 0:38:26.480
<v Speaker 12>that other person to come back. So I think this

0:38:26.560 --> 0:38:30.680
<v Speaker 12>is important. I think frankly, counterintuguli, countertutinally, the MIC's being

0:38:30.719 --> 0:38:33.240
<v Speaker 12>shut off may actually help Trump in a couple of ways.

0:38:33.400 --> 0:38:35.480
<v Speaker 12>First of all, it goes against his It kind of

0:38:35.480 --> 0:38:38.279
<v Speaker 12>pulls him back from his self destructive nature of kind

0:38:38.320 --> 0:38:40.920
<v Speaker 12>of being a little bit of a jerk on a camera,

0:38:41.040 --> 0:38:43.480
<v Speaker 12>which he can be sometimes a little bit over aggressive.

0:38:43.640 --> 0:38:46.040
<v Speaker 12>I think he does better when he's calm, cool and collected.

0:38:46.040 --> 0:38:48.600
<v Speaker 12>I think this will force him to do that. And frankly,

0:38:48.920 --> 0:38:52.960
<v Speaker 12>you want Joe Biden to have time right and not

0:38:53.000 --> 0:38:55.040
<v Speaker 12>to be in terrupted by Trump, because when we haves time,

0:38:55.360 --> 0:38:57.920
<v Speaker 12>that's when you see Biden's self destruct. He may not

0:38:57.960 --> 0:39:00.440
<v Speaker 12>even make it through the entire time that he has

0:39:00.520 --> 0:39:02.200
<v Speaker 12>a lot of them, we've seen it before. It had

0:39:02.200 --> 0:39:04.640
<v Speaker 12>a minute, we start fifteen seconds short to stare at

0:39:04.680 --> 0:39:07.280
<v Speaker 12>the camera. So that actually could work in Trump's favor.

0:39:09.480 --> 0:39:13.160
<v Speaker 3>Well, he's going to be practicing like hell for the

0:39:13.200 --> 0:39:18.440
<v Speaker 3>next few days in preparation. And it's interesting because it's

0:39:18.480 --> 0:39:21.640
<v Speaker 3>a poll that's been released showing seventy percent of voters

0:39:21.800 --> 0:39:24.880
<v Speaker 3>want Donald Trump and Joe Biden to submit to drug

0:39:24.920 --> 0:39:29.560
<v Speaker 3>testing before the debate. Remember, Trump accused Biden of being

0:39:29.600 --> 0:39:32.360
<v Speaker 3>as high as a kite and all jacked up during

0:39:32.400 --> 0:39:35.560
<v Speaker 3>his State of the Union address back in March, and

0:39:35.840 --> 0:39:37.640
<v Speaker 3>I want to say, I mean, I like this idea,

0:39:37.760 --> 0:39:40.080
<v Speaker 3>particularly when it comes to Joe Biden, because there is

0:39:40.200 --> 0:39:44.240
<v Speaker 3>such a vast difference in that Joe Biden's we see

0:39:44.239 --> 0:39:48.280
<v Speaker 3>these days and it's hard to explain. He can be lucid,

0:39:48.360 --> 0:39:51.040
<v Speaker 3>almost speed talking like he was during the State of

0:39:51.080 --> 0:39:54.880
<v Speaker 3>the Union, and then he seems utterly lost and slow

0:39:54.920 --> 0:39:57.600
<v Speaker 3>and incoherent. But before you go, I've got to ask

0:39:57.640 --> 0:40:02.160
<v Speaker 3>you about Star Wars. We covered this earlier in the year,

0:40:02.320 --> 0:40:07.000
<v Speaker 3>this painfully woke new series The Acolyte. It's getting a

0:40:07.040 --> 0:40:11.520
<v Speaker 3>massive backlash from fans. The audience score on Rotten Tomatoes

0:40:11.640 --> 0:40:15.560
<v Speaker 3>is thirteen percent, which is terrible, but the critics naturally

0:40:15.600 --> 0:40:18.080
<v Speaker 3>love it. It's got eighty five percent with the critics.

0:40:18.719 --> 0:40:22.000
<v Speaker 3>But Elion Mask, a Star Wars fan, has said Lucasfilms

0:40:22.040 --> 0:40:26.120
<v Speaker 3>has killed Star Wars with its woke propaganda, calling President

0:40:26.200 --> 0:40:28.840
<v Speaker 3>Kathleen Kennedy more deadly.

0:40:28.640 --> 0:40:31.560
<v Speaker 5>Than the Death Star. How do you see this? Is

0:40:31.640 --> 0:40:37.160
<v Speaker 5>there anything redeeming about this series? Are people I don't know?

0:40:37.239 --> 0:40:41.080
<v Speaker 3>Are people overreacting or has the series been killed?

0:40:41.120 --> 0:40:41.359
<v Speaker 5>Now?

0:40:43.520 --> 0:40:48.719
<v Speaker 12>Look, it just befuddles me that companies, in this case

0:40:48.800 --> 0:40:53.360
<v Speaker 12>Star Wars would take such overtly political positions and essentially

0:40:54.040 --> 0:40:57.120
<v Speaker 12>pooh pooh and at fifty percent of the population that

0:40:57.239 --> 0:40:59.920
<v Speaker 12>buys their products, Like Michael Jordan famously said, when you

0:41:00.120 --> 0:41:02.920
<v Speaker 12>asked why is he not taking more social positions, he says,

0:41:03.080 --> 0:41:07.080
<v Speaker 12>because Republicans buy shoes too. Right, That's a sentiment that

0:41:07.160 --> 0:41:11.560
<v Speaker 12>every company, particularly one that stockholders should seriously, should should

0:41:11.680 --> 0:41:15.799
<v Speaker 12>should learn from. Disney's stock is down fifty percent since

0:41:15.840 --> 0:41:19.960
<v Speaker 12>twenty twenty one. Okay, Ultimately that's who they have to

0:41:20.360 --> 0:41:23.440
<v Speaker 12>They have to satisfy the shareholders. They are not doing that.

0:41:23.600 --> 0:41:25.480
<v Speaker 12>This whole idea about I need to you have to

0:41:25.520 --> 0:41:29.239
<v Speaker 12>diversify storytelling so you could identify with the characters on

0:41:29.680 --> 0:41:31.640
<v Speaker 12>camera makes it has never made sense to me. Look,

0:41:31.680 --> 0:41:34.040
<v Speaker 12>I'm a Jewish person. They're not the many Jewish people

0:41:34.040 --> 0:41:36.799
<v Speaker 12>of Star Wars. Yet is to identify with the good

0:41:36.800 --> 0:41:39.000
<v Speaker 12>Star Wars not the crappy Star Wars have been many

0:41:39.040 --> 0:41:43.239
<v Speaker 12>crappy star Wars. But yeah, look, because it's about good

0:41:43.320 --> 0:41:45.640
<v Speaker 12>versus evil, doesn't matter you're a black or white, or

0:41:45.719 --> 0:41:48.640
<v Speaker 12>woman or a man. You could identify with that. And

0:41:48.840 --> 0:41:51.040
<v Speaker 12>I think that they are really doing themselves at the

0:41:51.160 --> 0:41:54.239
<v Speaker 12>service by focusing and leaning into woken, so it doesn't

0:41:54.280 --> 0:41:57.440
<v Speaker 12>make any sense, and it's killing them.

0:41:57.800 --> 0:41:59.840
<v Speaker 5>It is, but it's so ideological.

0:42:00.120 --> 0:42:05.440
<v Speaker 3>They copying the self harm, they're copying the audience backlash,

0:42:05.560 --> 0:42:10.360
<v Speaker 3>the share price plummeting, all the bad press they're getting Disney,

0:42:10.520 --> 0:42:13.279
<v Speaker 3>and they just keep pushing this barrow. You got to

0:42:13.320 --> 0:42:15.880
<v Speaker 3>think at some point there's got to be a stop

0:42:15.960 --> 0:42:19.480
<v Speaker 3>to it. Army Horowitz, we always enjoy having you, and

0:42:20.200 --> 0:42:22.279
<v Speaker 3>we'll speak to you next time. The debate would have

0:42:22.320 --> 0:42:24.400
<v Speaker 3>been run and one, and I'll be looking forward to

0:42:24.440 --> 0:42:25.160
<v Speaker 3>your insights.

0:42:26.400 --> 0:42:28.280
<v Speaker 5>Was your pleasure still to come?

0:42:28.520 --> 0:42:33.040
<v Speaker 3>A look inside Melbourne's Cedy City Center as residents and

0:42:33.120 --> 0:42:35.399
<v Speaker 3>traders demand action on.

0:42:35.520 --> 0:42:45.399
<v Speaker 5>Clime Welcome back.

0:42:45.560 --> 0:42:49.520
<v Speaker 3>Joining me now is Herald Sun reporter Suzanne Dela Basic. Suzan,

0:42:49.760 --> 0:42:53.839
<v Speaker 3>you recently braved Melbourne's city streets after dark.

0:42:54.040 --> 0:42:55.680
<v Speaker 5>You had a go pro camera.

0:42:55.880 --> 0:43:01.400
<v Speaker 3>Tell me what you saw and experienced Melbourne because we

0:43:01.560 --> 0:43:04.440
<v Speaker 3>prided ourselves on being the world's most livable city for

0:43:04.520 --> 0:43:07.480
<v Speaker 3>many years, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

0:43:08.400 --> 0:43:11.080
<v Speaker 18>Well, I can tell you now, reader. Within moments of

0:43:11.160 --> 0:43:14.880
<v Speaker 18>switching on that go pro camera, I had a man

0:43:14.960 --> 0:43:20.040
<v Speaker 18>who was intoxicated approach me. So the whole idea of

0:43:20.080 --> 0:43:21.960
<v Speaker 18>it was to see what it's like for a woman

0:43:22.040 --> 0:43:25.840
<v Speaker 18>to be walking around the CBD. So within moments, as

0:43:25.880 --> 0:43:28.400
<v Speaker 18>I said, of turning on the camera, Matt approached me.

0:43:28.760 --> 0:43:31.880
<v Speaker 18>He was intoxicated. I also had security with me too.

0:43:32.280 --> 0:43:34.719
<v Speaker 5>You're lucky, most of us don't have security.

0:43:34.920 --> 0:43:38.520
<v Speaker 3>No, So within and you've had some intoxicated man, you

0:43:38.680 --> 0:43:41.640
<v Speaker 3>had aggressive people approach.

0:43:41.280 --> 0:43:47.360
<v Speaker 18>You, Yes, so I had a group of aggressive teens

0:43:47.400 --> 0:43:51.280
<v Speaker 18>approach me. That was at the State Library. That's actually

0:43:51.320 --> 0:43:55.640
<v Speaker 18>where I saw someone openly injecting, So it was quite confronting,

0:43:55.760 --> 0:43:59.560
<v Speaker 18>to be honest. I also saw a man on Elizabeth

0:43:59.600 --> 0:44:06.440
<v Speaker 18>Street lying motionless after just taking drugs. Just so concerning reader.

0:44:06.280 --> 0:44:08.680
<v Speaker 5>And these are for the people who don't know Melbourne.

0:44:09.280 --> 0:44:13.400
<v Speaker 3>The major streets there, Elizabeth Street, the State Library, Swanston Walk,

0:44:13.520 --> 0:44:17.920
<v Speaker 3>so you're not exactly going down tiny alleyways where you

0:44:18.000 --> 0:44:21.000
<v Speaker 3>might expect to see someone shooting up drugs. Were was

0:44:21.040 --> 0:44:24.040
<v Speaker 3>that much of a police presidence presence? Were the police

0:44:24.080 --> 0:44:25.279
<v Speaker 3>intervening in any of this?

0:44:25.880 --> 0:44:28.319
<v Speaker 18>Look, there was a police presence around. We did see

0:44:28.360 --> 0:44:32.239
<v Speaker 18>a police presence, but from what I could see, they

0:44:32.239 --> 0:44:35.759
<v Speaker 18>weren't intervening, And obviously that was just because when these

0:44:35.800 --> 0:44:39.040
<v Speaker 18>things were going on, they had they had done them

0:44:39.400 --> 0:44:42.919
<v Speaker 18>without obviously without sight of with without police being in sight.

0:44:43.440 --> 0:44:45.920
<v Speaker 18>So I think that's where what it comes to that

0:44:46.000 --> 0:44:51.080
<v Speaker 18>they should be checking these alleyways and actually be monitoring

0:44:51.200 --> 0:44:52.120
<v Speaker 18>all of the streets.

0:44:52.600 --> 0:44:57.120
<v Speaker 3>Oh absolutely, And we've got a homeless issue in Melbourne.

0:44:57.120 --> 0:44:59.120
<v Speaker 3>I know a lot of capital cities would have this,

0:44:59.400 --> 0:45:03.879
<v Speaker 3>but we've also got aggression from some homeless people who

0:45:03.920 --> 0:45:07.879
<v Speaker 3>are drug affected. And that is happening not just for

0:45:08.080 --> 0:45:10.960
<v Speaker 3>tourists or people who visit the city occasionally, but the

0:45:11.080 --> 0:45:15.280
<v Speaker 3>traders and people who work in the cities talk about

0:45:15.320 --> 0:45:20.440
<v Speaker 3>being spat on, being chased, being sworn at. It's not

0:45:20.560 --> 0:45:22.839
<v Speaker 3>the sort of environment you would expect in a first

0:45:22.920 --> 0:45:23.560
<v Speaker 3>world city.

0:45:24.560 --> 0:45:27.200
<v Speaker 18>It's not and I can actually tell you so. After

0:45:27.280 --> 0:45:30.160
<v Speaker 18>I did the walk in the CBD, I ended up

0:45:30.160 --> 0:45:32.640
<v Speaker 18>going back out to businesses to see how they were

0:45:32.680 --> 0:45:36.440
<v Speaker 18>feeling too, just to sort of basically discuss what I

0:45:36.480 --> 0:45:41.880
<v Speaker 18>had seen with them. And one trader, as I mentioned

0:45:41.920 --> 0:45:45.160
<v Speaker 18>in my story, had been punched in the face. She

0:45:45.400 --> 0:45:49.359
<v Speaker 18>had been spat on. Another I actually saw footage at

0:45:49.360 --> 0:45:52.000
<v Speaker 18>another store of just a trader doing his job and

0:45:52.040 --> 0:45:55.600
<v Speaker 18>he was just attacked. Workers can't even put out their

0:45:55.640 --> 0:45:59.600
<v Speaker 18>bins because there are drug users openly injecting and blocking

0:45:59.600 --> 0:46:00.000
<v Speaker 18>their bins.

0:46:00.080 --> 0:46:01.360
<v Speaker 1>And that's onto Grave.

0:46:01.120 --> 0:46:06.359
<v Speaker 3>Street again, another big tourist strip, one of the sort

0:46:06.360 --> 0:46:08.799
<v Speaker 3>of highlights of Melbourne, one of those lane ways that

0:46:08.840 --> 0:46:12.080
<v Speaker 3>we advertise to the rest of the country in the

0:46:12.120 --> 0:46:14.360
<v Speaker 3>world to come and visit exactly.

0:46:14.520 --> 0:46:17.680
<v Speaker 18>So hearing all of that, I mean, it is really concerning.

0:46:17.840 --> 0:46:21.840
<v Speaker 18>And these traders they want to see a stronger police presence,

0:46:21.880 --> 0:46:24.759
<v Speaker 18>They want to see more action by the council, they

0:46:24.760 --> 0:46:27.520
<v Speaker 18>want to see more action by the state government because

0:46:27.520 --> 0:46:30.839
<v Speaker 18>they just feel like obviously all of their concerns are

0:46:30.880 --> 0:46:33.520
<v Speaker 18>falling on deaf ears and why should they be made

0:46:33.600 --> 0:46:34.399
<v Speaker 18>to work in fear?

0:46:34.560 --> 0:46:35.200
<v Speaker 1>They shouldn't.

0:46:35.520 --> 0:46:39.920
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, and ninety three percent of respondents at the Herald

0:46:40.080 --> 0:46:43.360
<v Speaker 3>Sun said they did not feel safe in the city,

0:46:43.480 --> 0:46:47.080
<v Speaker 3>so this was not an isolated experience for you. And

0:46:47.200 --> 0:46:51.480
<v Speaker 3>the Crime Statistics Agency data also paints a very ugly picture.

0:46:51.600 --> 0:46:55.440
<v Speaker 3>Reveals police recorded more than twenty one thousand offenses in

0:46:55.480 --> 0:46:59.480
<v Speaker 3>the CBD this year ending March twenty twenty four, compared

0:46:59.520 --> 0:47:03.799
<v Speaker 3>to nineteen thousand, six hundred and twelve last year, so

0:47:03.840 --> 0:47:07.680
<v Speaker 3>a significant rise there. They should be going down nineteen thousand,

0:47:07.680 --> 0:47:11.839
<v Speaker 3>I would suggest is a high enough figure. What are

0:47:11.880 --> 0:47:16.040
<v Speaker 3>the authorities doing to tackle this? You mentioned the Police Council,

0:47:16.280 --> 0:47:17.240
<v Speaker 3>the state government.

0:47:17.640 --> 0:47:20.319
<v Speaker 5>Is there a task force? Is this some attempt to

0:47:20.360 --> 0:47:21.279
<v Speaker 5>do something about this?

0:47:21.680 --> 0:47:24.120
<v Speaker 18>Well, earlier this year are the City of Melbourne held

0:47:24.200 --> 0:47:28.960
<v Speaker 18>a roundtable with the state government with police, traders, residents,

0:47:30.040 --> 0:47:32.880
<v Speaker 18>but that has had I think little effect on the

0:47:32.920 --> 0:47:38.200
<v Speaker 18>city and police. They've told me that they've got hundreds

0:47:38.239 --> 0:47:42.960
<v Speaker 18>of officers patrolling, especially around the Elizabeth Street and Swanston

0:47:43.000 --> 0:47:46.400
<v Speaker 18>Street areas. But again going out to traders and speaking

0:47:46.440 --> 0:47:50.040
<v Speaker 18>with them, they say that they've actually said, can there

0:47:50.080 --> 0:47:54.200
<v Speaker 18>be a dedicated police hub in Elizabeth Street? They want

0:47:54.239 --> 0:47:58.480
<v Speaker 18>to see more police because Rita. The footage that I

0:47:58.680 --> 0:48:03.200
<v Speaker 18>was given from these business says FPOs machines being thrown

0:48:03.239 --> 0:48:08.879
<v Speaker 18>at workers and like objects being thrown at them too,

0:48:09.600 --> 0:48:12.080
<v Speaker 18>and if they're not given free pizza, particularly as you

0:48:12.160 --> 0:48:15.879
<v Speaker 18>mentioned before with the home people living with homelessness, they

0:48:16.520 --> 0:48:19.319
<v Speaker 18>in one case actual a worker was abused for not

0:48:19.360 --> 0:48:20.760
<v Speaker 18>giving someone a free pizza.

0:48:21.239 --> 0:48:26.040
<v Speaker 3>There's an expectation now that you will give them free food,

0:48:26.280 --> 0:48:29.240
<v Speaker 3>or if you're passing by and they're asking for money,

0:48:29.280 --> 0:48:33.759
<v Speaker 3>that you will give them something and sometimes that's where

0:48:33.760 --> 0:48:37.520
<v Speaker 3>these attacks happen. I mean, I'm pretty bold about walking

0:48:37.560 --> 0:48:40.640
<v Speaker 3>around after dark people, so I'm reckless. But there's one

0:48:40.800 --> 0:48:43.360
<v Speaker 3>area of Melbourne I would not go, and that's Elizabeth

0:48:43.400 --> 0:48:47.279
<v Speaker 3>Street near Flinders Street. After dark, even sometimes during the day,

0:48:47.360 --> 0:48:51.879
<v Speaker 3>it's a really ugly, hostile environment. So Zandela Basic, keep

0:48:51.960 --> 0:48:53.440
<v Speaker 3>up the good work and thank you so much for

0:48:53.480 --> 0:48:54.120
<v Speaker 3>your time tonight.

0:48:54.239 --> 0:48:54.880
<v Speaker 18>Thanks Reder.

0:48:55.239 --> 0:48:56.120
<v Speaker 5>That's it from me.

0:48:56.440 --> 0:49:00.000
<v Speaker 3>Up next is Newsnight. I'll see you tomorrow with Douglas

0:49:00.160 --> 0:49:01.560
<v Speaker 3>Smarty at eleven.

0:49:01.680 --> 0:49:02.160
<v Speaker 5>Good Night.
