WEBVTT - The Rita Panahi Show | 10 October 0:00:02.759 --> 0:00:07.200 On scoring Lis Oustrodia. This is the Reader Panalty Show. 0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:10.360 Good evening and welcome to the Riata Paniny Show. Coming 0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:13.840 up a massive program for you tonight, Queensland Opposition leader 0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:17.119 David chris A fully pledges to keep cold fired power 0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:21.680 stations open and to dump the truth Telling and Healing Inquiry. 0:00:21.840 --> 0:00:24.840 Douglas Murray will join you shortly to discuss the latest 0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:27.520 from the US and the Middle East. Also on the 0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:32.160 program tonight Kosher Gator, Nick Kata and Kinsey Schofield and 0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:36.560 we never neglect Lefty's losing it, including this Kamala fan. 0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:48.040 She seems nice. God damn but first judges have been 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:51.760 told to be trauma informed when handing down judgments. In 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:54.880 a new manual commissioned by the New South Wales Judicial 0:00:54.920 --> 0:01:00.200 Watchdog and endorsed by the Australasian Institute of Judicial Administrationation, 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:04.400 the guide's focus is on a postmodern legal concept called 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:09.520 therapeutic jurisprudence. The goal is to make sure that consequences 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:12.840 for breaking the law have a positive impact on the 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:16.920 wellbeing of defendants. The manual, authored by lawyer and psychologist 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:20.720 doctor Ronda water Worth, gives guidance on how to handle 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:26.120 cases involving defendants of certain backgrounds. For Indigenous Australians, it 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:32.040 says they are still dealing with the pervasive intergenerational effects 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:35.640 of settler colonialism, as well as the impact of successive 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:42.600 generations of externally imposed government policies and discriminatory legislation which 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:47.920 have marginalized, exploited, forced the removal of children, and otherwise 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:53.600 undermined First Nations communities. The legacy of trauma and dispossession 0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:58.880 is interconnected with other aspects of First nation's disadvantage, such 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:04.160 as the disproportional high incarceration rates. The guide also tells 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:08.600 judges to look to the clear moral and ethical guidelines 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:12.959 of the Islamic faith when dealing with Muslim defendants, as 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:17.840 the religion has a strong principle of justice that focuses 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:22.760 on reconciliation and making amends rather than mere punishment. This 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:28.000 approach can facilitate the healing process for both offenders and victims, 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:33.560 fostering a sense of accountability and personal growth. Indeed, there 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:37.560 is a whole section devoted to encouraging judges to consider 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:42.440 aspects of the Islamic faith, including this on Muslim defendants 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:47.480 having a sense of personal responsibility to react to world 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:52.440 events in the context of religious injunctions to support others 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:56.119 of the same faith. Goodness me Joining me now for 0:02:56.680 --> 0:03:00.480 more on this is senior fellow at the Menzi's Research Center, 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:05.600 Nick cat Nick. This two hundred page guidebook is endorsed 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:10.359 by the country's peak judicial body. Is it going to 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:14.440 enhance or undermine the public's faith in the justice system? 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:18.160 Well, I think you know the answer to that, READO, 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:19.840 and I'll come to that in a minute. First, I 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:22.600 think we've got to unpick this mumbo jumbo one piece 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:28.200 of time, haven't we. If there's any literature, any studies, 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:33.160 any peer reviewed evidence of intergenerational trauma to show how 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:38.000 this is somehow passed down over multiple generations. So somebody 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.840 is traumatized today because of a bad instant that might 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:45.240 have happened to their long distance ancestor let's put it 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.800 on the table, because right now I don't think there 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:52.280 is any such evidence, So that whole idea of intergenerational 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:56.320 trauma is just a complete made up furfee. I'm sorry 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.280 to say that, but that's what it is. On this 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:02.560 other question of whether we should, you know, judges should 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:07.800 take account of Islamic morality or whatever it may be. Well, 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:09.200 you know they might want to do that in their 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:11.360 spare time, you know, if they want to study Islamic 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:14.560 history or something, go ahead. But you're there in a 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:19.239 different capacity. You're there to enforce the law, the Australian law, 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:21.520 and you're there to do it according to the rule 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:25.239 of law, which means that everybody gets treated absolutely equally. 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.120 And I think the idea here is you give special 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:32.120 treatment to at least two categories of people that we've mentioned, 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.720 possibly more, because I dare say, all, you know, some 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:40.560 of the other people in that intersectional district get some 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:44.000 mentioned somewhere. But I think this is very dangerous. I 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:45.680 think everyone should be able to go into court and 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:49.200 have their case treated on its own merits, according to 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:52.080 the law, not according to some made up stuff. 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:56.760 This is just seems to be ideological idiocy. And you 0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.920 now that they're you're supposed to be equal before the law, 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.400 regardless of who you are, what your background, You're supposed 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.479 to be treated the same. It's supposed to be a 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:08.640 pillar of our justice system. And that seems to be 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:12.960 an old fashioned view these days. Now, let's go to Queensland. 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.960 The L and P there is finally standing for something. 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.200 This is nice to see. Opposition leader David Chris of 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:22.640 Foley is promising to scrap Queensland's Truth Telling and Healing 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:26.520 Inquiry if the Coalition do when the upcoming state election. 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.520 The inquiries chaired Joshua Cremer has said this would be 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:34.080 a significant step backwards for reconciliation and it will keep 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.640 Queensland's true history hidden. 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:37.560 Nick. 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:40.680 I think it was around more than sixty eight percent 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.600 of Queenslanders who voted no in the race based referendum. 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:48.320 It's about time that politicians listen to them. 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.640 Yeah, it's taken David Chris Foley what almost a year 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.280 to catch up on this, and thank goodness he has, 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.720 But I thank truth telling commissions. Rita, You and I 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.840 would be absolutely in favor of any commission that would 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:05.360 actually tell the truth about our history, about our past 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.240 warts and all good sides, bad sides. But we know 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:10.320 that's not what we're going to. 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.320 Get from this truth Commission. 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:14.320 That's not what they're there to do. They're there to 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.440 further distort our history, to tell us how bad our 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:21.440 ancestors were, what a terrible country this is, instead of 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:24.400 pointing out that it's actually the best country on Earth, 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:29.200 and that the Aboriginal people have the same rights as 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:31.200 everybody else. That's just the fact. 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:35.200 And David chris A fully has also vowed to keep 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:40.520 Queensland's coal fired power stations open indefinitely, and this is 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:44.880 to ensure there is reliable and affordable energy during the 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:51.360 transition to renewables. Nick, I'm glad he's keeping the coal 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:56.120 fired power stations open, but is he going to embrace 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:58.760 nuclear power or is he going to persist with this 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.280 renewable fantasy. 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:06.239 One step at a time, one baby step at a time. 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:08.240 This is looking. This is a very important thing that 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.440 he's done. It's obvious and we need this here in 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:14.040 New South Wales as much as anything because we can 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:18.200 habitually run short of power and the renewable nonsense which 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.640 is just ripping apart beautiful parts of native bushland and 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.840 farmland in Queensland has to stop. It has to stop 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.080 the moment he gets into office. He needs to put 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.840 a complete stop on it and a review, and then 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:33.320 of course, inevitably you get to nuclear. If you think, 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.000 as we seem convinced, that we have to keep our 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:40.560 electricity supply one carbon free, then there is only one 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:45.000 option for baseload carbon free power, and that's nuclear. And 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:47.560 he will come round to that, just as you know 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:51.200 Microsoft has and the United States government under even Joe 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.880 Biden has to realize that this is it's not a 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.320 cushion of if it's it's inevitable, if you want to 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:56.960 keep the lights on. 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:01.840 It's disappointing how it's taking to come to these very 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:05.520 obvious positions, particularly for someone who's supposed to be leading 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:10.360 a center right coalition. Now former Labor senator, she's now 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:14.720 an independent. Fatima Payment has launched her political party with 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:18.040 the help of the Preference whisperer Glenn Drury, who's now 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:21.240 her chief of staff. But a decision to name the 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:27.040 party Australia's Voice has sparked outrage within some activist circles. 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.800 Some have accused her of rebranding the Voice for her 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:35.800 own agenda. Indigenous entrepreneurs Sean Gordon said that the use 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.440 of the term Voice by Fatima Payment for her new 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.839 political party is a further attempt by the pro Palestinian 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:45.679 movement to leverage off the back of Aboriginal antrres, Strait 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:51.840 Islander people and Ularu dialogue Coachair Mighan Davis described Senator 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:56.400 Payman's announcement as curious timing given it's the anniversary of 0:08:56.440 --> 0:09:01.200 the referendum and many of our people are still nicka. 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:04.160 I do hate it when the lefties turn on each other. 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:08.240 Yeah, I don't mind the voice part, but it's the 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:09.680 Australian part that I don't like. 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:10.640 Australian voice. 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:13.040 It should be called the un Australian voice from some 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:16.480 of the things that sended a Payment has said in Parliament. 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:18.720 But she's having trouble, isn't she. And I thought there 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.720 were some very interesting and very considered points made by 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:24.840 some of the critics from the Indigenous community saying that 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:28.920 they're sick of the Indigenous, the Aboriginal cause being hijacked 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.880 by the Palestinians. That's what the Palestinians have done. They've 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:35.920 attempted to draw some moral equivalence between the ills that 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.360 are supposedly happening to them and the ills happening to 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:40.920 the Indigenous people. No, no, they's nothing at all to 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:41.439 do with it. 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:43.440 Well, I'm just going to have trouble. 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.360 Establishing this party, isn't it. It's going to be the 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.400 party of one. I think the way it's going, well, we'll. 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:50.880 See how she goes. But if you've ever gone along 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:53.520 to any of those pro Palestinian protests, you'd see that 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:59.240 messaging is very, very prevalent tying what's happening in Israel 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:03.800 and Gaza with what's happening in Australia and saying those 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:07.800 causes are very similar. That's a topic for another day, 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:10.720 and Nikita, thank you for your time this evening. Joining 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:14.920 me now is best selling author and commentator Douglas Murray. 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:18.800 Douglas Kamala Harris has gone from hiding from interviews to 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:22.360 doing a multitude of them in recent days, from the 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:26.520 vacuous and risque Call Her Daddy podcast to sitting down 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:29.200 with the Ladies of the View. She also talked to 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:33.880 Howard Stern and Stephen Colbert. Colbert asked her how she's 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:35.840 different to Joe Biden when. 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:39.160 We think about the significance of what this next generation 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:42.000 of leadership looks like were I to be elected president, 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:47.920 it is about Frankly, I love the American people and 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:53.280 I believe in our country. I love that it is 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:57.679 our character and nature to be an ambitious people. You know, 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:02.400 we have aspirations. 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:04.679 Douglas, Would you like to translate that for us? Are 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:06.880 you fluent in a word salad? 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.680 Well, I am, now like all of our rita, I've 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:13.240 learned as we all have had two in the last 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:17.600 few months. This has been the same sort of thing 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:21.320 that she's done in every interview that you've just mentioned. 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:24.240 In recent days, people said for a long time, why 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:27.240 is Kamala Harris not giving interviews? We knew why it 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:31.559 was because of this. She was asked in another this 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:35.880 week about the border policy and she started talking about 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:41.600 how you know, the American people are and opportunity, and 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:46.040 it's the same thing. She just flounders like this, and 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:52.400 it's just terrifying, quite frankly. She can't answer a straight question, 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:56.880 she can't answer a policy question. She does these horrible, 0:11:57.000 --> 0:12:00.000 vague ramble and she hasn't even it seems, got them 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:04.200 to just think on her feet. I mean, when she's asked, 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:07.080 you know, about Joe Biden, she should be able by 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:10.720 now to have a stock answer about how terrific he was, 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:12.800 but how there's more to do and so on, and 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:16.840 she can't do that despite all of these Democrat cheerleaders 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:21.240 in the media giving her the softest of softball questions. 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:26.000 Well, this is what's remarkable. She has had these soft 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:30.439 questions and she's still flounders on the view. She was 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:34.440 asked about how she would have done things differently over 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:36.480 the last four years, and she said she couldn't think 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:38.480 of a thing she would do differently. To Joe Biden, 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:41.600 I would have thought, if you're the change candidate, you'd 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:43.880 have at least a couple of things you'd mentioned there. 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:48.480 Now we are hearing in this election time a lot 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:54.120 of talk about disinformation and misinformation fact checks. You wrote 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.640 in the New York Post recently that fact checks have 0:12:56.760 --> 0:13:00.600 become politicized and it's now not about the objective truth, 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:05.160 but what's in the eye of the beholder. Tell me 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:07.839 about that. Because it was a time where you could 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:10.360 trust a fact check, you knew that was just going 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:16.920 to be unequivocally accurate. No longer, Oh. 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.600 That's the case. I mean, I thought this was particularly 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:24.160 striking during the vice presidential debates last week. The debate 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:31.520 last week when the moderator, once again, as with the 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:35.720 presidential debates, only really fact checked one side, which is 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:40.679 of course some Republicans. And when they did this with JD. 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:44.679 Vance as they'd done it with Donald Trump before. He 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:48.280 pushed back against the fact checker and said, actually, what 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:51.520 you just said is inaccurate, and he was right as 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:54.200 it happened on that occasion. There's this effort at the 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:57.439 moment to pretend that the southern border has been pretty 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:03.440 secure in recent years because Kamala Harris was for a 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:07.960 looser border four years ago. She's for strong board and 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:11.280 now it seems to extent that one can divine anything 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:15.760 as I say. But JD Vance, you know, picked up 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:19.440 on this thing. What the fact checkers were doing was 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:23.080 trying to pretend that people who had got a Kamala 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:30.440 Harris era effectively slip on immigration were in some ways 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:34.720 fully holy American And how dare you say that these 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:38.920 guys in Springfield, Ohio weren't as American as you and me? 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:43.720 JD was effectively the point of the question. This is 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:46.920 something that the media and American in particular, is doing. 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:50.480 And it's very striking to me because I've said many 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:54.160 times that you know, facts and truth in journalism are 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:59.520 absolutely vital, but the very institutions that talk about how 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:03.160 vital they are, like for instance, the BBC, which has 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:06.440 set up something called BBC Verify in the last year 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:10.760 to tell you about facts and to fact check. Keep 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:13.400 on getting things wrong and not just wrong. But what's 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.320 always noticable is they get them wrong in a particular direction. 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:17.360 There's a pattern. 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:18.000 Now. 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:22.600 You know. You could say objectivity in journalism is completely impossible. 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:26.880 Complete objectivity is impossible. Fine, at least you know where 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:30.440 some people are coming from. At least you know, as 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:31.960 I said in the New York Post, you know that 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:34.080 if you pick up a New York Post, we at 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:37.200 the New York Post are not soft on crime. We 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:40.680 don't love the stuff, we don't like it. So you 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:43.560 know where the Post is coming from. On the issues of, 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:47.400 for instance, being allowed to ransack your local CVS good 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:50.200 or bad, you know the Post will be against that. 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:57.240 But these other media, the BBC, ABC and someone that, 0:15:57.560 --> 0:15:59.600 they all do the same thing. They pretend to be 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:03.600 in martial fact checkers. In actual fact, they're just not 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:10.280 that subtly pushing everything in a very specific lockstep ideological direction. 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.360 Absolutely, And on the New York Post, it had a 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:20.480 remarkable front page recently about Kamala Harrison's husband, Doug Ermhoff, 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:25.840 who's accused of slapping a former girlfriend. The allegations. They 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:30.600 are terrible. This week there were fresh allegations of misogynistic 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:34.800 and inappropriate behavior towards female staff during his stint at 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:38.480 a top law firm in Los Angeles. And we know 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:42.200 Douglas in his first marriage he cheated on his wife 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:46.640 with a nanny, apparently got the nanny pregnant. But their 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:52.440 remarkable thing is, despite the salacious nature of these allegations, 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:57.680 the media is largely uninterested in following this, and in fact, 0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:00.640 some segments of the media have painted him as some 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:04.000 sort of model of modern healthy masculinity. 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:09.160 Oh well, well, that's straightforward. How the latter bit happened. 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:12.679 He rainbow washed himself, as you saw there. All you 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:16.159 have to do now is to wear a Love is 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:22.119 Love t shirt and appear at some you know, pride baraide, 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:25.479 and then that can sort of absolve you. It's like 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:28.840 the Catholic Church throwing holy water on you in the past. 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:33.439 So that's why he gets away with that. That and 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:38.080 the fact that he's married to the Democrat candidate. You 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:42.720 can look, I mean, these allegations, you know, if they 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:46.560 were if they were against JD. Vance or Donald Trump 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:52.080 or their spouses, if you know. But this would be 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:57.080 absolutely front page news. I mean, j d Vance can't 0:17:57.080 --> 0:18:01.960 grow a beard without the entire Democrat media becoming obsessed 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:05.560 about it and asking what it means for the future 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:09.600 of the republic or something. If Jadie Vance had been 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:13.480 found to have treated women in the ways that Doug 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:17.400 Emhoff is accused of treating them, well, you can't pretend 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:19.919 that this isn't something that they would take an interest in. 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:23.600 Or again, okay, one removed the spouse of the candidate. 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:27.360 It's just another demonstration of something. As I say, all 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:31.320 of the public can see now. The interesting thing about 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:33.919 the era of social media, among other things, is that 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:37.800 it's made a lot of this old media completely transparent 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:42.000 to the public. They can see the game now they didn't. 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.080 We didn't used to be able to see the whole 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:49.119 game like it's visible now. What was visible to journalists, 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:52.040 people who had worked in journalism all their lives twenty 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:57.640 years ago is now common knowledge to everybody. You know, 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:00.760 the New York Times and stuff. They don't have secrets 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:03.800 setting what they think they do, but they don't. We 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:04.520 can see them. 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:10.800 Well. Absolutely. It's possibly why trust in the media is 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:14.440 at historic lows, certainly in the US there's been polling 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:19.760 showing only one in ten Republicans trust the media. Social 0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:22.120 media has been a godsend in a lot of ways. 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:27.920 Earlier this week, we marked October seven, the first anniversary 0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:31.639 of the biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, and 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:35.880 segments of the media use the date to attack Israel 0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:39.800 and its ongoing war with her mass The Independent in 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:43.760 the UK had this front page, three hundred and sixty 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:47.000 five days of horror since October seven, Douglas. They went 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:50.800 on to list the number of bombs Israel has dropped, 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:54.320 the number of hospitals damaged in Gaza, the number of buildings. 0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:58.200 You get the idea. They used October seven to highlight 0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:01.600 the impact of the ca ounter or offensive, not what 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:03.000 actually started the war. 0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:07.520 Yeah, of course it did. I mean, it's completely sick. 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:13.679 But you know, it's a remarkable thing, this reta. And 0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:16.480 I've been thinking about this this week because a very 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:23.520 brilliant skylar called Ruth Wise, ameritus professor at Harvard back 0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:26.359 from the days when institutions like Harvard really produced top 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:29.920 rate people, said, it's quite hard to send thing knew 0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:34.160 about October seventh, you know, even a year on, because 0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:38.200 we can see it in plain sight. The terrorists broadcast everything, 0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:41.880 They didn't hide anything. Ruth Wise said something very interesting. 0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:46.760 She said, some people in the West have got the 0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:51.439 ability to understand what that day was against the Jewish state. 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:56.440 Not everybody can. The Independent and some other idiots can't 0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:59.560 tell that. They can't even commemorate an anniversary without trying 0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:03.320 to flip it onto and another aspect of the story. 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:06.680 But what she said that really struck me was she said, 0:21:07.240 --> 0:21:09.600 we may have the courage to do that, but the 0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:12.600 West is not displayed the ability to have the courage 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:16.960 to identify the perpetrators. Had the courage Some people have 0:21:17.000 --> 0:21:19.720 had the courage the recognition of who the victims were, 0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:24.280 but the perpetrators. A year on, How is it possible 0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:30.119 that there are pro Hamaz demonstrations in Australia, in America, 0:21:30.320 --> 0:21:33.919 in Canada, across Europe. How come so much of the 0:21:34.000 --> 0:21:37.280 media has, like the Independent you just showed, they're the 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:40.320 extent that it is still a paper. How have they 0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:44.600 ended up just regurgitating Hamaz figures? Why have we ended 0:21:44.640 --> 0:21:47.560 up in this period this was, as you say, it 0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:50.960 was the biggest mass produced since the Holocaust. We have 0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:54.680 the ability to identify that, But why not to identify 0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:58.040 the Nazis? Why not to identify the people who did it? 0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:01.800 Why not ask why it is? In countries like Australia, 0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:07.440 I have seen these demonstrations of supporters of the Nazis, 0:22:07.920 --> 0:22:10.919 of the people who did the massacres. Why do we 0:22:11.000 --> 0:22:14.520 have to see mobs in New York's smashing at car 0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:18.800 windows screaming support for the Nazis who carried out October 0:22:18.920 --> 0:22:22.960 seventh is because we met some people still have the ability, 0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:27.560 thank goodness, to recognize who the victims were, but almost 0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:31.320 nobody has the courage to identify who the perpetrators were, 0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:34.479 what's driving them and the fact that they are among 0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:35.679 us in the West. 0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:38.760 Ah. 0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:42.080 That is an excellent point. That is so true. And 0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:47.200 you would think all those protesters, how much more credibility 0:22:47.240 --> 0:22:50.119 they would have and how much more support if they 0:22:50.160 --> 0:22:53.679 could just condemn her mass even if you want to 0:22:53.680 --> 0:22:57.399 see the war end that their refusal to could, and 0:22:57.440 --> 0:23:00.480 in fact, the hostility to those who up to a 0:23:00.520 --> 0:23:04.000 protest holding a her massa terrorist sign I think speaks 0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:09.119 volumes before you go. A Russian arms dealer who was 0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:12.840 known as the Merchant of Death, who was released by 0:23:12.880 --> 0:23:15.920 the US to Russia as part of a prisoner swap 0:23:16.520 --> 0:23:21.280 in exchange for w NBA player Britney Griner, He's reportedly 0:23:21.359 --> 0:23:25.479 selling weapons to the Hooti terrorists who are wreaking havoc 0:23:25.640 --> 0:23:29.879 in the Red Sea. This looks like a terrible exchange 0:23:29.880 --> 0:23:30.360 for the US. 0:23:30.440 --> 0:23:34.440 Douglas, it does rather. Brittany Groiner has spent all of 0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:42.080 her time since being swapped by the US government. She 0:23:42.320 --> 0:23:46.199 has spent all of her time moaning about how awful 0:23:46.240 --> 0:23:52.800 the US is. Meantime, this guy ends up continuing his 0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:58.000 career in this case, arming terrorists wasn't a good deal 0:23:58.080 --> 0:24:03.800 that you know, maybe there's I mean, I always think that, 0:24:03.840 --> 0:24:07.920 you know, you can't judge what somebody, somebody who's been 0:24:08.080 --> 0:24:11.240 arrested and detained in the way that Brittany grind has. 0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:15.040 You can't judge what they they do to some extent 0:24:15.160 --> 0:24:17.480 because they've been through a terrible circumstance. But you'd have 0:24:17.520 --> 0:24:21.679 thought that there could be some gratitude to the country 0:24:21.960 --> 0:24:26.040 that nurtured them, made them rich, that they had slightly 0:24:26.160 --> 0:24:29.520 let down, and which had saved them. But no, no, 0:24:29.600 --> 0:24:31.800 of course, in our time, as you know, Reacher, as 0:24:31.800 --> 0:24:34.720 we've spoken about before, You can never express gratitude to 0:24:35.440 --> 0:24:38.520 a Western democracy. It's got to be moaning and carping 0:24:38.840 --> 0:24:43.640 and all of that and whining, but never gratitude, never 0:24:43.680 --> 0:24:46.359 realizing how lucky we are in the West, how lucky 0:24:46.400 --> 0:24:49.280 we are in America, in Australia and Britain and Europe. 0:24:49.800 --> 0:24:52.600 Never that, never gratitude, always whining. 0:24:55.240 --> 0:24:59.760 Yes, it's all about victimhood. That's the currency these days. Douglas. 0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:01.639 Thank you so much for your time this evening. 0:25:02.640 --> 0:25:04.159 It's a great pleasure. Thank you. 0:25:04.480 --> 0:25:08.000 Still to come a lefties are losing it. Plus Kamala 0:25:08.119 --> 0:25:11.520 Harris kicks back with a beer while Florida prepares great 0:25:11.720 --> 0:25:24.119 deadly hurricane. Welcome back, and now it's time for lefties 0:25:24.600 --> 0:25:27.160 losing it. And you may have heard about the white 0:25:27.280 --> 0:25:32.400 dudes for Kamala group. They're typically described as weak, COVID crazy, 0:25:32.480 --> 0:25:37.240 soy boy losers, but that sort of characterization is deeply unfair. 0:25:37.400 --> 0:25:40.640 Just look at this strapping young man charging like a 0:25:40.680 --> 0:25:59.960
