WEBVTT - The Late Debate | 30 January 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:00.440 Lately. 0:00:02.360 --> 0:00:04.720 Welcome the late base. 0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:08.719 Thanks for joining us. It's great to have your company. 0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:11.760 I'm James Macpherson with Liz Staurer and Caleb Bond coming 0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:14.360 up tonight. You'd be aware Donald Trump has been issuing 0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:17.239 a lot of executive orders this week, but we'll show 0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:20.160 you one a little later that nobody, I mean nobody 0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:23.360 was expecting. Plus when we get to the papers, a 0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:27.640 former army chief says declining national pride is the reason 0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:32.120 the ADF can't recruit people as soldiers, and in Victoria, 0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:36.160 rock climbing has been banned because it's a form of colonialism. 0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:37.760 We'll get to all of that when we look at 0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:41.640 what's making news tomorrow, but first, the Northern Territory government 0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:45.880 has ordered that gay pride flags be removed from outside 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:49.920 public hospitals. Rainbow flags were taken down from outside the 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:54.280 Royal Darwin Hospital on Tuesday, with the government spokesperson saying 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:58.520 the flags were not compliant with protocol, which I think 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:01.040 makes a lot of sense, particularly when you consider the 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:05.720 debate right now about transgender and the treatment of young 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:08.640 people with gender dysphoria. Probably doesn't make sense to have 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:11.840 a trans flag outside a public hospital. The thing that 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:14.360 really got my attention though with this story, and we'll 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:16.720 talk about whether or not it's fairer to remove the 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:20.640 flags in a second, But the reaction was quite astonishing. 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:25.520 Members of Northern Territory Health spoke anonymously to the local 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:29.360 paper saying they were shocked and disappointed that the flags 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:33.120 had been removed, with one new Northern Territory Health worker 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:37.240 saying the flag it's what it symbolizes. We pride ourselves 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:41.080 that good inclusive healthcare is for everyone. It's a marker 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:45.960 of safety, so staff and patience can feel comfort, as 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:49.560 if to say that they weren't already providing top quality 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:54.720 care for homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, two spirit gender queer people 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:58.560 before the flags were erected, and one staff member actually 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:02.840 told the NT time quote, can I continue working or 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:03.960 is this no longer. 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:05.360 A safe space for me? 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:09.440 The people reported It's true, Liz, numbers of staff members 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.760 are reconsidering whether or not they should remain a part 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:16.080 of Northern Territory Health if the flag is not going 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:17.000 to fly. 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:19.920 But the thing that really got me was the. 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:24.280 Labor opposition leader who is the former health minister, criticizing 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:28.000 the Conservatives for removing the flag, saying what with all 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:30.320 the problems we've got in the Northern Territory, this is 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:33.960 a priority getting rid of flags, neglecting to mention with 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:37.000 all the problems in the Northern Territory under the Labor government, 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.200 their priority was erecting the flags. This is typically what 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:42.760 the progressive left do, isn't it, Caleb. They attack the 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.000 culture and then the moment we say well, actually we'd 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.640 like our culture back, they say, oh, you're all about 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.480 the culture wars. They start it and then they get 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.400 upset with you when you try and correct it. 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:53.799 It's a good little trick, isn't it. 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:56.519 And look, I'd like to say, well you used to 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.000 be able to say that it works every time it It 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:01.239 doesn't work anymore, which is great. It doesn't work anymore 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:04.080 because we've got Trump back in the US. Woke is 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:08.000 dead in Australia. We're slowly turning all of these things around, right, 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:11.560 And the protocol in the Northern Territory is very clear 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.000 that it is standard that out the front of government 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:17.320 buildings you have the Australian flag, the Northern Territory flag 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:19.960 and the Aboriginal flag. That's the three flags that the 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:23.320 Northern Territory government officially says they should be flying. 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:25.520 So why were they flying these in the first place. 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.240 Well, apparently it's because it was written down and I'll 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.160 get this right, because you know, you wouldn't want to 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:33.840 mack these things up. The NT government's Gender Equity Action 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:37.800 Plan twenty twenty two to twenty twenty five said how 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.400 great it was to fly these things out the front 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:42.760 of hospitals, and so they started doing it, and now 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.560 you've got these allegations. As you mentioned before, James of 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.680 staff saying, oh, I don't know whether I can continue 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:51.320 to work here because it's safe. One staff member told 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:54.240 the NT News that you know the reason they were 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:56.320 there and what was so great about it is that 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.240 it said that it was a safe place for gay 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:03.080 and lesbie and transgender and whatever other people to come to. 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:07.960 And they went on to say, is healthcare not for everyone? Well, 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.040 yeah it is. Because there's a flag at the front. 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:13.720 You might not have noticed it, the Australian flag. 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:16.960 And would you believe it? All the people and this 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:20.359 is crazy. I only learned this today. All the people 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:24.600 who live in Australia live under the Australian flag. 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:27.520 And so when you've got the Australian flag there. 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:32.160 It's saying this is a hospital where people in Australia 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:33.960 can go for healthcare. 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:36.679 What an extraordinary. 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:41.520 Incredible, isn't I mean the suggestion that it is somehow 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:45.240 exclusive to say that we're not going to fly what 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.040 is an exclusive flag because it's only for a very 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:52.200 small portion of the Australian population is absolutely absurd. 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:56.919 Let's fly nobody's flag and call it even because I 0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:00.719 don't get a flag either, so that's true equality. 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:02.479 Let's no, we get a flag. 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:04.880 We literally went from being like, oh, now we have 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:09.480 these flags that represent these movements to unless this flag 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:13.560 is visible, people are not comfortable in their workplaces. Oh 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:15.480 is this unsafe for me? I don't want to work 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:17.960 here anymore. I thought that we were welcome here and 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:21.440 now we're not because you're not flying our flag. No, 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:25.040 we're not flying anybody's flag unless it's the Australian flag, 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.960 which means it applies to everyone. That's fair, but massive 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:33.240 kudos to the Health minister in the Northern Territory who 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:36.320 could have easily just been browbeaten into being like, yeah, 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:39.080 that's what the policy says, so I'll just change the 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:40.919 policy and you guys can keep your flags up. 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.599 Nah been the flags? Get them out of here. 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.799 Someone's brought it to my attention. This isn't the policy. 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.440 Get them out. And I want to see a lot 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:53.440 more from Dutton on this because it is literally made 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:58.520 me inwardly requiggle that we are giving this man so 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:02.160 much credit and sure it's better than nothing for uniting 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:05.440 us under one flag and saying, you know what, We're 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.919 just going to fly the Australian flag. Now he hasn't 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:12.000 gone full Trump and issued an edict that at all 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:16.520 government buildings you can only fly the Australian flag. That's 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:20.320 what he should do next. But come on, like, go 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.800 harder than that. I love the window dressing. We need 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:28.679 window dressing. The symbolism is important, but this is something 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:32.880 that we need in place across all government agencies, be 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:38.000 it education or health. This should just be the plain rules. 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.839 Like you said, Caleb, this is a very exclusive flag 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:45.120 representing a very small minority. Why do we have to 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:48.880 emblaze in it everywhere? It's part of the indoctrination process 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:52.839 and the vast majority of Australians say no, thanks, get 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:53.560 it out of my face. 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.360 Well we'll talk later about prominent Australians calling for and 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:59.640 am inquiring too the way we treat kids with gender 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.360 disc Laarrior. It's a letter to Albanezi, but Dutton has 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.000 been c seed in on that and that would be 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:06.760 a good thing for him to take up. We often 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:10.880 talk on this program about the madness of local councils 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.040 and we've got a beauty for you tonight. There's a 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:16.520 council in Adelaide that is so bad. The culture is 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:21.800 so toxic. Every single council member has been told they 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.400 must do behavioral training. 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:24.920 Now. 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:28.360 All of this began because one council member, Jane Davey, 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:33.160 was continually reported for bullying. It got to a point 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.960 where she was told she would have to sit at 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:38.680 Southside Primary School, she would have to sit in council 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:42.000 meetings next to the chief executive to make sure behave 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:46.520 She behaved, and she was banned from directly commenting, questioning, 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:52.080 or requesting anything from another particular council colleague. In fact, 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:56.000 she was banned from making any nonverbal communications with this 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.480 other council member. So an independent law firm was bought 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:03.760 in to investigate claims of bullying by Jane Davey, and 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:07.040 they found that the bullying was not just confined to 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:10.440 one person, but it was rife throughout the entire council. 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:14.119 The Burnside Council was full of council members spreading rumors 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:18.520 about each other, mocking each other, publicly criticizing each other's work, ethic, 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:23.480 and making angry outbursts. The whole council was toxic and 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:28.040 so they've all been sent for behavioral training. The report 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:32.640 says that independent findings by spark Herlmoyl lawyers found Burnside 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:36.720 Council was besieged by a culture of bullies who victimize 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:40.440 colleagues who speak up about inappropriate behavior. The lawyers said 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:44.640 all Burnside counselors should have additional behavioral training by a 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:49.880 senior external expert, including potential consequences for counselors who breach 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:51.479 behavioral standards. 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:52.720 This is the part I loved. 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:56.600 Counselors will now be forced to have more behavioral training 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.240 to learn about. This is what our local government members 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:04.120 need to learn about values, ethics, leadership skills, and this 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:07.040 is my favorite part. They need to learn how to 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.960 talk to each other. And of course, who do you 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:13.000 reckon is paying for these people? To learn to act 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:15.720 like adults, Liz, the right players. 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:19.480 The ratepayers, I mean, I'm sure it's worth every penny, right, 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.160 we all want cohesive counsels. 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:24.000 This is hilarious. 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:26.439 The fact that they referred to that there. 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:31.120 As potential consequences for counselors who break the code of conduct. 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:33.800 Well, where are they they've broken. 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:37.199 The code of contact. Where are the consequences? They clearly 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:37.920 are none. 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.360 So why you're holding a workshop to tell them about 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:44.360 potential consequences when they've already done the action that you 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:47.440 say there are consequences for, But they're not suffering anything 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:52.440 other than sitting through a behavioral workshop for crying out loud. 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:53.640 This is embarrassing. 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:56.120 Go, can I just mention something? I forgot to mention this. 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.400 They had a behavioral workshop and one council member made 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:03.080 a colleague cry in the behavioral workshop, So now they've 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:03.680 all been said. 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:07.560 I mean, And that person was Jane Davy, who has 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.960 been the subject which was apparently her fourth breage. 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:14.959 And I should note here that I know Jane Davey. 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:16.560 I haven't spoken to her for the better part of 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.160 five or six years, but in my dealings with her 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:21.480 back in Adelaide, I find it hard to believe that 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:23.559 she would do something like this. It doesn't sound like 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:26.320 the Jane Davy I know. And the counselor who she 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:28.760 allegedly left in tears is the wife of someone I 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:31.280 already know. So I'm just declaring all of that stuff there, 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:33.840 But just what we're talking about South Australia. 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:35.160 Before I talk about this, I just want to. 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.440 Note that I think all hospitals should have the South 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.400 Australian flag flying out the front, because as a South 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:43.559 Australian I don't feel included if I go to a 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:45.959 hospital here in New South Wales and my flag isn't there. 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:47.640 I just want to put that on the books. 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:51.920 But seriously, the idea that counselors need to be taught 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:55.520 how to talk to each other and things like values 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:59.360 and ethics and leadership skills, I mean, you put your 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.480 hand up for the job, right you say I'm going 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:02.280 to be a counselor. 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.320 I know it's not great pay. 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:07.320 Most of them have another job to do, unless, of course, 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.079 you're in Brisbane where they do it how I think 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.920 it should be done. They have large councils, councilors of 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:15.440 full time. They essentially have portfolios. They actually have stuff 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:18.920 to do, the genuine politicians instead of these timpot little 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:22.200 fiddlers who get around around the councilors all around the country. 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:23.040 And this is the problem. 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:26.600 There is such a small gene pool from which these 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:30.400 people are drawn. So many of them are just neighborhood 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:34.400 busybodies who've got nothing better to do. And they go, oh, well, 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.520 you know, I've got some ideas about how this should 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:37.199 be done, and. 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:38.120 They put their hand up. 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:41.240 They get elected on three hundred votes because nobody votes 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:43.560 for them, and then they go and lo and behold. 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:45.040 They don't know how to behave. 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:48.840 If you can't go to a meeting and behave like 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:53.520 an adult, you shouldn't be there in the first place. 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:56.199 And I implore you if you are in a state 0:11:56.440 --> 0:12:01.400 like South Australia where voting is not compulsory in council elections, 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:05.400 please start voting because we have to get rid of 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:08.720 these people. We are paying for it. You're paying the rates. 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.120 You don't get any choice in that matter. You had 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:14.520 to pay the rates. So for goodness sake, let's get 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:18.000 some better quality. While we're talking about councils in Adelaide, 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:21.320 only council has done what seems to be the move 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:24.920 de jure at the moment, which is to reduce speed limits. 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:26.880 You love it when you see these stories, don't you 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:28.680 If they could just find a way to make it 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:31.160 a little harder to get around our cities. 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.120 Oh yeah, the councils know how to do it. 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.840 Only road in Adelaide, and those in Adelaide will know 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:37.760 what I'm talking about, but those in other parts of 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:41.280 the country. Is an arterial road, a major arterial road 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:45.600 that goes directly into the city. Thousands and thousands of 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:47.439 people drive on it every day to go to work, 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:49.320 and they drive back out on it at the end 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:51.280 of the day to go home. And so the only 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:54.440 councilors had the bright idea to change the speed limit 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:59.200 from sixty to fifty because, according to the mayor, they 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:03.280 want a gentler pace through the air, nice little village. 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:05.840 This is a road people used to get in and 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:06.600 out of the city. 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:08.400 Bagging your gentler pace. 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.240 You don't need to lower the speed limit by ten 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:14.400 kilometers just so you can have a quote unquote gentler pace. 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:15.560 We just want to get. 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:17.440 To work and we just want to go home, and 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:19.280 maybe we'll stop at one of the shops along the 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:20.520 way on this road. 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:22.440 But this is going on all over the shop. 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:28.439 You look at Melbourne, through Collingwood, Fitzroy, all those suburbs 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.079 north of Melbourne. Now some of the streets are thirty 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:33.880 kilometers an hour. They started at fifty and then they 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.240 made them forty. Now they've got some of them have 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:38.840 gone down to thirty. There are councils all over the 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:43.360 country continually are changing their backstreets from fifty to forty. 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:44.199 That seems to be. 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:48.480 A standard thing now because apparently it's much safer. And 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:50.880 now you've got a council doing it in Adelaide, where 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:54.440 an arterial road goes from sixty to fifty. It won't 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:57.040 be long before we see this all over the country 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:58.880 where councils will say, well, we've got to do it 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:00.560 in the name of safety, I've got to do it 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:04.040 in the name of cyclists or whatever it is. Sixty 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:08.760 will become fifty, and the difference between sixty and fifty 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:10.200 is quite literally. 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:11.480 Ten kilometers an hour. 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.520 And if you're talking about people driving home at the 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:17.360 end of the day and they're tired and whatever, you know, 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:20.840 one of the biggest killers on the road is fatigue 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:24.840 people who are tired, and if you make their trip longer, 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.560 you make it more likely that they're going to have 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:31.560 a crash. It doesn't make any sense. They hate cars 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:32.680 and this is why they do it. 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.080 It's only a matter of time before a council decrees 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:37.280 that every car must have a person walking in front 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:40.520 of it waving a red flag to warn pedestrians the 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:42.200 car is coming. I was reading the comments and the 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:45.840 Adelaide Advertiser on this story, and people were saying, what 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:49.240 speed limits now fifty kilometers an hour. That's faster than 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:51.680 we've ever gone on that road because it's so congested 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:54.520 with traffic. So they were quite excited, but they made 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:57.160 the point, why are they lowering the speed limit? No 0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.720 one gets close to sixty kilometers an hour during the 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:03.160 day because the road is so busy, and when you're 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:05.240 driving home at three am and there's no traffic and 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:07.720 you could do sixty, you're only allowed to do fifty 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:11.600 kilometers now. But as you said, Caleb, the Advertiser reported 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:15.840 that there are ten side streets that counselor also considering 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:18.400 lowering the speed From it's already fifty, they're going to 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:21.280 lower it to forty in surrounding the seats. 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:23.600 So this is a perpetual thing where. 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:26.000 I mean eventually you'll have to get out and push 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.120 your car along because that'll be the only way to 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:30.360 ensure Psychestrians I. 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:33.280 Forget you on their way by I see you at work. 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:36.680 I'll be in twenty minutes earlier. It's getting ridiculous. 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.560 And who's a fan of this? Who living in their 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:41.040 councils who are doing this. 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:44.040 Is like, oh, thank god, bloody O if they're getting 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:49.000 my vote next time. Solid decision, newbody to the US. 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:53.920 Now where RFK Junior's confirmation hearing, we all know that 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:58.600 Trump's given in the gong to head up the DSS. 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.560 This is the Department of Health. This is going to 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:02.320 be massive. 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:07.880 In fact, the MAGA campaign ran parallel with a MAHA campaign, 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:11.280 which was make America healthy again. 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:13.520 That is the edict that has. 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:16.280 Come from the top, and RFK Junior is the man 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:18.840 chosen to carry it out. 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.760 I'm telling you, twenty twenty five is wild. 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:26.359 What we saw in these confirmation hearings is the Democrats 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:31.920 turning on a Kennedy Democrat who is being backed by 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:32.920 the Republicans. 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:35.080 The Republicans say, we want clean food. 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:40.720 All this GMO nonsense, the pesticides, the insecticides, the microplastics, 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:43.600 the forever chemicals poisoning our food supply. 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:46.120 We don't want any of that anymore. And we want 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:47.119 safe vaccines. 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:49.840 Not a high bar, you'd think, not a high bar, 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:55.160 But they are losing their minds. Check out Senator Elizabeth 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:58.720 Warren taking RFK to task, being like, how do we 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:01.120 know you're not going to make money out of this? 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:06.760 You've said that President Trump asks you to quote clean 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:08.840 up corruption and conflicts. 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:10.280 Sounds great. 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:14.399 You've said that you will quote slam shut the revolving 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:19.800 door between government agencies and the companies they regulate. That 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:24.280 also sounds great. So here's an easy question. Will you 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:26.320 commit that when you leave this job, you will not 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:30.360 accept compensation from a drug company, a medical device company, 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:34.480 a hospital system, or a health insurer for at least 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:37.560 four years, including as a lobbyist or a board member. 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:40.760 Can you just rebe the last part of the question, 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:42.000 I commit you're not. 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:44.440 Going to take money from drug companies in any way, 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:45.800 shape or who me. 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:47.000 Yes, you. 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:51.960 Having to commit to that good, That's what I figured. 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:55.479 I said, It's an easy question to start with and 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:57.159 I think you're right on this. 0:17:57.400 --> 0:17:59.280 I don't think any of them want to give me money. 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:05.160 By the way, of course, RFK was openly trolling her then, 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:08.200 because it's on the public record that in one financial 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:13.080 year alone twenty nineteen to twenty twenty, she received over 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:19.240 eight hundred thousand dollars from Big Farmer. It's on the 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:24.439 public record the only Democrat senator who received more was 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:26.040 Bernie Sanders. 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:27.040 So she's sitting. 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:28.760 There with egg all over her face. 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:33.440 The absolute assumption she must have in people's stupidity when 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:37.680 she herself has done this four years, pocketing millions all 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:42.440 up from big Farmer companies while she represents their interests 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:44.959 in Parliament. But she's taking him to task on that 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:47.280 because she wouldn't want him to make any. 0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:47.760 Money off it. 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:51.640 Now you saw that Senator Bernie Sanders took even more 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:56.399 money from Big Farmer than Elizabeth Warren one point four million, again, 0:18:56.560 --> 0:19:00.000 just in one financial year alone. Well, he was all 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:04.399 also at the confirmation hearing today taking RFK to task 0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:08.240 on making money off these onesies. 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:09.840 Here's a picture of them. 0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:14.840 Now he has taken great umbradge to this because they're 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:19.520 made for babies by a company that RFK is affiliated with. 0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:24.640 He's saying, how can you say that your provacs when 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:27.679 a company that you've been affiliated with in the past 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:33.040 is selling these onesies and making money off these onesies. 0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:36.640 The exchange that ensued belongs in a zoom. 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:41.240 Can you tell us now that you will, now that 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:45.280 you are pro vaccine, that you're going to have your 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:47.879 organization take these products off the market. 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:50.639 Senator, I have no power over that organization. I'm not 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:52.440 you've heard of that. I resigned from the board. 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:54.840 I was just a few months ago. You founded that. 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:58.520 You certainly have power you can make that. How are 0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:01.280 you supportive of this? I have had nothing to do 0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:03.320 with you supportive of these onesies? 0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:06.160 I'm supportive of vaccines. Are you supportive of. 0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:10.000 These this clothing which is militantly anti vaccine? 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:12.320 I am supportive of vaccines. 0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:16.359 Well, I want good science and I want to protect 0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:17.120 But you will. 0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:20.920 Not tell the organization you founded not to continue by 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:21.840 selling that product. 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:22.119 Thank you. 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:24.560 As the chim God forbid. 0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:28.400 Parents get to make their own calls regarding their own kids. 0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:31.919 Oh my gosh, mind blowing. They can't stand it. And 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:37.560 of course there was the eternal objection to rfk's existence, 0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:43.560 that being from Senator Tillis saying, are you a conspiracy 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:45.600 there's your conspiracy theories, aren't you. 0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:48.520 Here's Irfk's brilliant response. 0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:53.119
