1
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: On Skorne Lives Australia. This is the Reader Paney Show.

2
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panahee Show. I'm

3
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 2: Danikiti Giorgio.

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: Coming up.

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 2: Labour sinks even lower with its dirty campaign tactics. Will

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 2: show you the latest attack on Peter Dutton, the implymer

7
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 2: on why Chris Bowen is using dodgy tactics to deceive

8
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: the public on the cost of nuclear energy. Donald Trump's

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 2: Secretary of Defense pick Pete Hegseth is attacked by woke

10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 2: senators and targeted by protesters at a chaotic confirmation hearing.

11
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 2: Bartia Unga Saden will give us her take a win

12
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: for common sense. In the US, a bill preventing transgender

13
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: women from competing in female sports has passed through the

14
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 2: House of Representatives. Stephanie Bastian will join me, and of

15
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: course Lefty is losing arch, including this gender bending lefty

16
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: who can't quite grasp biology.

17
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 3: The parts you see on an ultrasound don't determine a

18
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 3: baby's gender.

19
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: Joining me now is.

20
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 2: Sky News contributor Prue McSwain. Prue, good to see you,

21
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: Thank you very much for joining me on this show.

22
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,839
Speaker 2: Now I want to start with Labour's anti Semitism envoy,

23
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: because she has warned that democracy is at stake and

24
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: that the nation's judiciary is failing Jewish Australians with weak

25
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 2: sentences that are handing anti Semitic criminals effective impunity. In

26
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 2: an extraordinary intervention after an explosion of anti Semitic attacks

27
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: on synagogues and family homes over the summer, Gillian Siegel

28
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,279
Speaker 2: said Anthony Alberanezi must convene national Cabinet to take immediate action.

29
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 4: Proue.

30
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: Look, of course there.

31
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 2: Needs to be immediate action, but action should have happened

32
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: in my opinion months ago. Why has it taken so

33
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: long to get to the point where we're going.

34
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: We need intervention. Democracy is at.

35
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 5: Stake, well one hundred percent, And you know it was

36
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 5: a cynical thing. I believe that he even pointed a

37
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 5: nonvoy and he was never going to listen to her. Now,

38
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 5: of course he's on the skids, and this is why

39
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 5: Albanesi is on the skids, because Australians, mainstream Australians, are

40
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 5: sick and tired and concerned that this country has changed

41
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 5: so much. The social cohesion in this country, the tolerance

42
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 5: and acceptance that we've enjoyed for years, years and years

43
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 5: is now dissolving between our eyes. And it's because of

44
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 5: this government's in action. You know, it started on October seven,

45
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 5: on October nine, after the Opera House and the fact

46
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 5: that sanctions were not imposed on those people, those anti

47
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 5: Semitic acts, and it's been happening. It's all words from

48
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 5: this government and he's not listening to this envoy clearly,

49
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 5: the fact that he has what we've seen, what's happened

50
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 5: in the UN and what's been going on with Wong

51
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 5: and of Albanesi and how they've betrayed Australia and Israel

52
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 5: and the relationship we've had for so many years and

53
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 5: Jews everywhere, and in fact, what he doesn't understand this

54
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 5: is an attack on not just us, it's an attack

55
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 5: on all Australians who support yous, who have supported multiculturalism.

56
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 5: And this is now what we're facing. And it's because

57
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 5: it's totally and solely because of this government's inaction.

58
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I agreed.

59
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 2: It's interesting because a labor mayor in Sydney has also

60
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: said that his electorate has become a tinderbox after a

61
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: spate of anti Semitic attacks.

62
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: He also says the.

63
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 2: Greens are at every level have failed to combat the.

64
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: Hatred and inflame tensions.

65
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: This is according to Inner West Mayor Darcy Byrne, he's

66
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: calling for bipartisan action. Well, I would argue that, you know,

67
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: the coalition has been very good from the very beginning

68
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 2: and there's no bipartisan action proved because Labor haven't gotten

69
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: to that point where they want bipartisan action.

70
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: I agree with him wholeheartily on the Greens.

71
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: They've been a disgrace from the very beginning, but Labor

72
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: has to do something exactly.

73
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 5: You know, it's amusing that this Darcy Byrne, who's a

74
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 5: Labor mayor, is pointing the fear at the Greens. Sure,

75
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 5: as you say, the Greens have been culpable and are despicable,

76
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 5: and I think that they have underestimated the extent of

77
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 5: angst in mainstream Australia and with fair minded younger Australians

78
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 5: and even the elites because it's so bad. So I

79
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 5: think that you know, we've seen it in the election

80
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 5: in Queensland and various other polling and the Act and

81
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 5: the Act of course, and you know, you know that

82
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 5: they're losing support, and thank god they are. But in

83
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 5: this case, you know, this Labor mayor is having a

84
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 5: go at the Greens. Give us a break date, you

85
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 5: know there's an.

86
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: Election coming up.

87
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all very tactical in my view, prow. Now, look,

88
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: Peter Dutton and Anthony Abernezi have presented a bipartisan threat

89
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 2: of the strongest possible action against the Kremlin if Australian

90
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 2: foreign fighter Oscar Jenkins is confirmed to have been executed

91
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 2: by Russian forces following his capture in Eastern Ukraine. He

92
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: was the Prime Minister earlier.

93
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 6: We call upon Russia too immediately confirm Oscar jenkins status.

94
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 6: If there has been any harm caused to Oscar Jenkins,

95
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 6: it's absolutely reprehensible and the Australian Gubbment will take the

96
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 6: strongest action possible.

97
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 2: Proue, I highly doubt that Vladimir Putin's listening to Anthony Albanisi.

98
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 2: You know, the strongest condemnation. That's not strong condemnation. But

99
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 2: what action should be taken here in your view, because

100
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: this man is an Australian But what can we do really.

101
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 5: Well, this is the problem. I mean, short of doing sanctions.

102
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 5: We know that they've broken. Well, we don't even know

103
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 5: if the man has been killed, but we're assuming, we're assuming.

104
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, many of us.

105
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 5: Have wondered why he joined the Ukraine legion anyway, but

106
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:46,799
Speaker 5: that's his choice.

107
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: It's tragic that this has happened.

108
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 5: Waving your finger at the ambassador here is not going

109
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 5: to do anything. They're saying they may expel him. Who

110
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 5: cares cares?

111
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: What's that going to? That's doing nothing.

112
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 5: So the problem is that the weakness of this government

113
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 5: and Albinizi is evident internationally. So the Russians won't give

114
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 5: us stuff what we do, so shot of sanctions and

115
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 5: holding if there is any money here, Russian money here

116
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 5: or something, I can't see what is it. It's just sort

117
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 5: of hitting them with a feather duck.

118
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean nothing's going to I mean they're

119
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 2: not shaking in their boots right now listening to Albo

120
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:23,799
Speaker 2: from Australia, that's for sure.

121
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: Now look here we go again with dirty.

122
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 2: Campaign tactics, because the woman trying to oust Opposition leader

123
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 2: Peter Dutton has been accused of bullying after organizing a

124
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 2: fundraiser called Potato Night. This is from Labour's candidate for Dixon.

125
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 2: Ali Franz, who sent out email invites two supporters for

126
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 2: a Potato Night fundraiser with potato themed activities in a

127
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 2: quote distasteful nod to disparaging nicknames which target mister Dutton's appearance. Now,

128
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 2: pro look, this is the second such dirty tactic we've seen.

129
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: Remember that one that came out from the Victorian Labor branch.

130
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 2: A couple of weeks ago, where Peter Dutton's wife and

131
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 2: up in this ad. You know, Albanezy spent the last

132
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 2: week attacking Peter Dutton. As it is, you can see

133
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 2: a trend here. This is the trend now from Labor.

134
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 2: It's attack attacked because they've got nothing to show for themselves.

135
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: So do you think.

136
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: Dirty tactics of what Labour's going to be presenting between

137
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: now and a federal election.

138
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 5: I'm sure they are. But I say go your hardest,

139
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 5: because the more you do it, the more the rest

140
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 5: of us think you are despicable and you deserve to

141
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 5: be thrown out. And the amplifies the fact that they

142
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 5: have no policies, they have nothing else to say. Attacking

143
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 5: the man didn't work in America, as we saw with Trump,

144
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 5: and we you know We're.

145
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: Better than this.

146
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 5: We as in the voters, are better than this. We're

147
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 5: not going to put up with this. Daily we are

148
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 5: reminded how bad this government is just in our day

149
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 5: to day lives, and they're just reinforcing it. So go

150
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 5: your hardest, call him every name under the same. So

151
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 5: it's like when we were little kids and news to

152
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 5: get call people names.

153
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: It's pathetic, isn't it. It is totally old and pathetic. Yeah, yeah,

154
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: but this is the problem now that we're heading into

155
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: an election.

156
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: Labour's got nothing to show for themselves because they were

157
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 2: elected on a cost of living mandate. They've made so

158
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 2: many stuff up since twenty twenty two. And this is

159
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 2: typical of the left that when they're under pressure the

160
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 2: polls about they start attacking so hardly surprising. Now this

161
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 2: is an important one because deradicalization programs have failed to

162
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 2: change the behavior of high risk individuals and authority sphere

163
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 2: could commit acts of terror in Australia or even produce

164
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 2: data on whether the initiative actually works. The Australian Institute

165
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 2: of Criminology found that the behavior of some individuals actually

166
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 2: worsened in the program, triggering the involvement of law enforcement agencies.

167
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 2: Prow look, I think that I take this as a

168
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 2: warning sign to Australia and a big worry. A couple

169
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 2: of weeks ago we saw the New Orleans terror attack.

170
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: That was a wake up call. That was a big,

171
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: big wake.

172
00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: Up call about terrorism coming back into countries, into Western countries.

173
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: But from our perspective, I mean, if you are considered

174
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: or deemed.

175
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 2: To be at risk, surely we've got to enforce tougher consequences.

176
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 2: If you're from overseas, you need to be deported. We

177
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 2: can't just keep these people on programs if they're not rehabilitating.

178
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: Because there are risks to society exactly.

179
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 5: James Patterson, you know who's so impressive, the Shadow Home

180
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 5: Affairs spokesman, was saying that post sentence restrictions need to

181
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 5: be imposed. We need to keep them in detention more.

182
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 5: You know what really gets to me is that why

183
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 5: are these preachers of hate Islam?

184
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: These are Islamic Islamic.

185
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 5: Preachers of hate who are clearly and openly inciting hatred

186
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 5: are not deported or shut down?

187
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: Are we serious about this?

188
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 5: You know, having these programs. This one's called Living Safe Together,

189
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 5: intervention program.

190
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: It's one of.

191
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 5: Those sort of softly, softly, feel good things that are

192
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 5: not going to do anything for anyone. We've just committed

193
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 5: sixty one point seven million over four years for it,

194
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 5: and it's proven to be in effective.

195
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: Well, we walk on eggshells, don't we. We we we tiptoe.

196
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: This is typical tiptoeing.

197
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 2: Don't want to offend certain people this and look what happens.

198
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: They're not working now. This is I mean, the hypocrisy

199
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 2: is very very clear here. Oscar winning actor and so

200
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 2: called climate change activist Leonardo DiCaprio has faced backlash after

201
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 2: he used a private jet to flee the Wildflyers in

202
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. Yes, they're all climate warriors when they want

203
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 2: to be climate warriors, prove. But then the truth always

204
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 2: comes out, doesn't it.

205
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 5: It sure does. It's spent eighty million or something already

206
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 5: on climate change. But we saw that with all these

207
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 5: you know, in Doha recently, all these cop out organization

208
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 5: or conferences where they all flying in their jets. It's

209
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 5: just a load of bull. Let's face, it is. But

210
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 5: I must admit if I was in his shoes and

211
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 5: the fires were fanning around me and I had a

212
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 5: private jet, I'd get the hell out of there.

213
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: I understand that you wouldn't get the hell out of it.

214
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: It's what did they call it, ridiculous hypocrisy.

215
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 2: It's everywhere, It's always there anyway, Thank you, Pro McSwain,

216
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 2: good to speak, there's always thanks for coming on this evening. Well,

217
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 2: we've all seen the devastating fires in Los Angeles. But

218
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 2: it didn't stop the alarmists blaming the fires on you

219
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 2: guessed it, climate change. Never mind the poor water management

220
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: by LA authorities.

221
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: The ignored warnings, the lack.

222
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 2: Of funding, the Biden administration stopping control burns, DEI policies

223
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 2: in the fire department, and the list goes on.

224
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: Not that that deterred the doomsday cult.

225
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 7: You would have to be a fool to not understand

226
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 7: what climate change is doing to this country, in the world.

227
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: Wildfire is raging in LA are highlighting the risk of

228
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 2: climate change.

229
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: Yes, climate change.

230
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 8: The wildfires in California are the leadst in a string

231
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 8: of natural disasters made worse by climate change.

232
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 3: Big part of why we're seeing more wildfires is climate change.

233
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about these destructive fire is compounded

234
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: by climate.

235
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 8: Climate change set up the conditions for this supercharged fire.

236
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 9: It exacerbated and increased by climate change.

237
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 10: Climate change which is political, but it's clearly a major

238
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 10: driver here.

239
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 6: Climate change will only make wildfires more common.

240
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 2: It's no wonder the American public is losing trust in

241
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 2: their news outlets, TV and newspaper reporters rank with the

242
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 2: likes of cast salespeople, lawyers, and advertising professionals. Joining me

243
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 2: now all the way from Saudi Arabia is esteemed geologists.

244
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 2: Professor Ian plimer Ian, nice to see you. Thank you

245
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: so much for joining me. After every natural disaster, why

246
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 2: do the left always rush to blame it all on

247
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 2: climate change?

248
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 11: Because they've never had any evidence that humans drive climate change.

249
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 11: It's never been showing. This is the greatest scientific scam

250
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 11: we've ever had in the history of time. No one

251
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 11: has ever shown that human emissions drive global warming. No

252
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 11: one has ever shown there's no data.

253
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 12: So here we have a problem.

254
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 11: I've been chasing climate institutes for years. Just give me

255
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 11: half a dozen scientific papers. They can't do it.

256
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 13: So if you've got ingrown toenails, or your car breaks down,

257
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 13: or there's a fire, that's not nearly as great as

258
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 13: the nineteenth century fires, then it's got to be climate changed.

259
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 11: We have to blame humans for what we're doing in this.

260
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 11: In Australia, we had huge fires in nineteen thirty nine

261
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 11: and again in the eighteen fifties. They were far greater

262
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 11: than anything we had in any summer in recent times.

263
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 11: Yet we're told of the recent fires are year to

264
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 11: climate change. Maybe they should look at actually maintaining the forests,

265
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 11: maintaining their vehicles, having a forest fighting crew rather than

266
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 11: the city fighting crew helping out. Maybe having fairly modern

267
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 11: electricity transmission wires rather than ancient wires. Maybe they shouldn't

268
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 11: be so clean and green and water underful, and build

269
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 11: houses in forests surrounded by flammable trees that are full

270
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 11: of oils. Maybe, just maybe the Left is being absolutely

271
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 11: hypical critical, and maybe they're showing that they're totally ignorant.

272
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely As he said, you've only got to look all

273
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 2: the way back into history to know that there were

274
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: bad fires all the way back then.

275
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: Not that the Left will ever tell you that, of course.

276
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 2: Because it's all got to do with climate change, as

277
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 2: they want you to believe. Now, what's going on in

278
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: the US, because the Biden administration has rushed to allocate

279
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 2: more than seventy billion US dollars of funding for climate

280
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 2: initiatives before Donald Trump's inauguration. The outgoing administration has been

281
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 2: accelerating its allocation of cash for climate change and clean

282
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 2: energy programs before the changing presidency. And I'm not sure

283
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: what the point of it is because Trump's already pledged

284
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 2: to terminate what he calls the green new scam. So

285
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 2: what exactly is Biden trying to achieve in his dying

286
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 2: day in the administration.

287
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 11: Well, the point is very cynical. He's trying to trip

288
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 11: up Trump to make his life more difficult. He knows

289
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 11: that it can be changed. But this is typically the

290
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 11: way the left operates. It's all negative. It's cynical. It's

291
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 11: not nation building, it's not helping people. The left traditionally

292
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 11: has been wanting to look after people who are at

293
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 11: the bottom end of the spectrum, and they're doing the

294
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 11: exact opposite. Now Biden is just making the transition very difficult,

295
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 11: despite the fact that he was going to have an

296
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 11: orderly transition. So I just think this shows the Democrats

297
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 11: are pretty morally defunct, that the Democrats really don't care

298
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 11: at all about how people suffer.

299
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 2: No, that's very very clear, and looking forward to that inauguration.

300
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: The sooner the better.

301
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, the world's biggest climate finance alliance, which has actually

302
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 2: been backed by major asset managers, is suspending its activities

303
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: and reviewing its structure. The Net Zero Asset Manager Initiative

304
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 2: was founded to promote the adoption of greenhouse gas reduction efforts.

305
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: And what does this tell.

306
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 11: You, Well, it tells you that reality sometimes strikes. We

307
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 11: had that globally, that we are aware that we cannot

308
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 11: keep industrial societies running on sunbeams and on sea breezes.

309
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 11: It's costing too much money. We're aware that we once

310
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 11: had a very good system of cheap, reliable electricity that

311
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 11: derived from having energy concentration in things like coal or

312
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 11: energy concentration in nuclear materials. And all of a sudden,

313
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 11: people are saying, well, this is not going to work.

314
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 11: And also we've got a major president who is going

315
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 11: to be changing things in the US. Things have already

316
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 11: changed in many other parts of the world. It's going

317
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 11: to change in the US, and that will drive changes

318
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 11: in the world. If you're here in Saudi Arabia and

319
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 11: you talk about climate change. It's one of the best

320
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 11: jokes you can make people raw with.

321
00:16:59,600 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: Laugh.

322
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 11: Finally, reality is coming home.

323
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I also wonder if it's that the Trump

324
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 2: effect almost having an impact already before he's even creating.

325
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, definitely. Now this is a real laugh.

326
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 2: Chris Bowen has been exposed as the most dangerous minister

327
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 2: in Albanese's cabinet because it's been revealed that the Energy

328
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 2: Minister weaponize the public service by instructing his department to

329
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: produce entirely flawed figures to allege Peter Dutton's nuclear energy

330
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: plan would see a forty nine percent electricity shortfall by

331
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 2: twenty thirty five. The Department of Climate Change and Energy

332
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 2: now says what it did was not an analysis of

333
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 2: the coalition's nuclear energy proposals, but an assumption driven calculation.

334
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 2: So ian these figures, they were a dream, but still

335
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 2: pushed out to the public. How are we supposed to

336
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 2: have a proper debate about energy in this country when

337
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 2: Bowen is feeding us lies?

338
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 11: Well, I'm not surprised. I mean, he's probably the worst

339
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 11: cabinet minister in my voting lifetime, and I first voted

340
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 11: in nineteen sixty one. A very sad id logue. He

341
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 11: cannot understand that there were dozens of countries that stay

342
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 11: alive with nuclear there are dozens of countries that are

343
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 11: increasing their coal fired power capacity. And yet he wants

344
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 11: to stick to his ideology. He wants to cook the books,

345
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 11: He wants to force people to cook the books. And

346
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 11: he is the very best thing that the Liberals have

347
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 11: got in the Albert Easy government. He just has to

348
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 11: stay there, please, mister Bones, stay in that cabinet position,

349
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 11: Keep opening your mouth, keep giving us the benefit of

350
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 11: your wisdom, keep showing us that you've had a very

351
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 11: successful charisma bypass operation. Just keep doing it, please, because

352
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 11: you're helping the Liberals.

353
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 14: Yeah.

354
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I mean, as much as I want him not to.

355
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 2: Be in that portfolio and your spot on, it's probably

356
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 2: doing the coalition of favor. Now look before we let

357
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,959
Speaker 2: you go. The warnings are continuing. The Victorian government's aggressive

358
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 2: electrification of the power network is likely to result in

359
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 2: mass blackouts, with demand forecast to outweigh renewable energy supply

360
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 2: by more than thirty percent in some months. That's according

361
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 2: to a report by leading academic professor Simon Schauser, who

362
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 2: runs a Queensland government owned energy business himself.

363
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: How many more warnings do we need? AAMO has said it.

364
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 2: We've got multiple reports saying the same thing. We're going

365
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 2: broken backward in this country on this renewables energy fantasy,

366
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 2: aren't we?

367
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 11: Well we are, And look back in time a little bit.

368
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 11: Victoria had the cheapest electricity in the world that came

369
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 11: from these huge brown coal deposits in eastern Victoria. Those

370
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 11: brown coal deposits can keep Victoria going for thousands of years.

371
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 11: There is so much coal there, it's such good quality.

372
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 11: And the infrastructure was set up in Victoria to make

373
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 11: it the powerhouse of Australia, to make it the manufacturing

374
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 11: center Australia, and it was now if Victoria loves power,

375
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 11: that also kills off South Australia because says the interconnect

376
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 11: to bringing power across from Victoria into South Australia. So

377
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 11: we now have a domino effect that is set up

378
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 11: by bureau cramps and by politicians who know nothing about electricity.

379
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 11: We haven't listened to our electrical engineers. And again reality

380
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 11: will strike and reality is going to be very very

381
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 11: cruel in Victoria.

382
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 2: If it isn't already. I completely agree. I employment nice

383
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 2: to speak with you. Thanks very much for joining me

384
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 2: on the show this evening were coming up after the break.

385
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 2: You won't want to miss Lefties Losing Its Plus Pete

386
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 2: Hegsett's Confirmation hearing gate crashed by left Heckler's.

387
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: Bartia Unger Sagan is here for the latest from the US.

388
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 2: Now it's time for Lefties Losing it and don't we

389
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 2: have a treat come up for you the lunacy at

390
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 2: Pete Hegsett's Confirmation Hearing. You won't want to miss the

391
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 2: incoherent meltdowns. But first of this lefty who is reinventing

392
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 2: the gender will claiming the sex of a baby on

393
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 2: an ultrasound can't possibly be right.

394
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 3: The parts you see on an ultrasound don't determine a

395
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 3: baby's gender, and how is that possible? Well, think about

396
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 3: it like this marker a blue cap usually means a

397
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 3: blue marker, but sometimes marker caps get switched and in

398
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 3: this case it is a pink marker. See that's what

399
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 3: happened to me. They saw something on the ultrasound that

400
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,479
Speaker 3: usually means it's a boy, but the cap was cap

401
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 3: and I turned out to be a girl.

402
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 2: Oh, it's all very lucrative now using a crayola pains

403
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 2: to determine gender. Who's going to tell him that swapping

404
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 2: caps makes no difference to the parts you're born with.

405
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 1: But cute, try, very cute, very sweet.

406
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 2: Now to Donald Trump's impending inauguration can't come soon enough

407
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:03,199
Speaker 2: and he's pick to perform the beautiful Carrie Underwood, and

408
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 2: the news has truly shattered and destroyed. There has been

409
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 2: hyaenas over at the view. In fact, it's yet another

410
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 2: hard knock for them.

411
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do it, even though I was no.

412
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 10: I would not. I would not normalize him. And she says,

413
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 10: I love our country. How do you love your country

414
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 10: and support and normalize somebody who was a convicted felon

415
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 10: who really wants to destroy the country. In my opinion,

416
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 10: I don't understand how you say you love your country

417
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 10: at the same time as you normalize this convicted felon,

418
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 10: which I can say now every.

419
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 4: Day have we heard from Suddy Austin yet a smiley,

420
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 4: true delight of a woman.

421
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: I agree with you, Joy. I can't sing a lick,

422
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: but I certain and I have not been asked, but

423
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: if I were asked, it would be a hard no.

424
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: Well, thank goodness, Thank goodness, we clarified that one.

425
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,959
Speaker 1: We were losing sleep. We wanted to know the answer

426
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: to that.

427
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 2: And no doubt Sonny's announcement would come as to a

428
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 2: shock to Donald Trump himself.

429
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: And it's not just the you. This is the worst

430
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: day of the feminist Coults lives.

431
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 14: Carry Underwood is going to perform at Trump's inauguration.

432
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 2: Now to Gavin Newsom, the hapless and hopeless California governor

433
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 2: who is really living up to his name as a

434
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 2: slimy used car salesman, can someone please explain the shoulder shimmy.

435
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 15: We're dealing with a myriad of issues. I was just

436
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 15: talking to Josh Green, the governor of down in Hawaii.

437
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 15: You had some ideas around some land juice concerns. He

438
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 15: has run speculators coming in buying up properties.

439
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: Ah, how is that?

440
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 2: A little little smile, a little shimmy, a little dance, manicuit,

441
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 2: hair fresh botox, A real man of the people in

442
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 2: the middle of a fire zone, isn't he?

443
00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: And here he is again showing just how personable he is.

444
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 15: My humble position and it's and it's not just being

445
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 15: naively optimistic that only reinforces the imperative moving quickly doing

446
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 15: in the spirit of collaboration cooperation.

447
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 2: He's over stimulated, perhaps taking California dreaming way too far.

448
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 2: And never mind Gavin Newsome's failures to prepare the state

449
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 2: for fires, because you can always trust Whoopee Goldberg to

450
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 2: give the best possible explanation.

451
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:30,479
Speaker 1: Here's how this works.

452
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 16: There was a fire catastrophe in California.

453
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: Had to do it wins.

454
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 16: You know how they're always saying, oh, the wind.

455
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: It actually does.

456
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,199
Speaker 16: The winds move things and sparks mooth things, and it

457
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 16: doesn't matter how much water you have if nine hundred

458
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 16: thousand buildings go up at the same time.

459
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: Wow, how was that?

460
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,959
Speaker 2: It is good to know that Whoopee is such an

461
00:24:55,080 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 2: expert on wind. And speaking of looney explanations, I want to.

462
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 14: Take a minute to talk about looting because I think

463
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 14: it's worth considering why people would run into an active

464
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 14: fire to steal stuff rather than fleeing the fire. And

465
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 14: it seems like in the media coverage that I'm listening

466
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 14: to that people think that people are just like greedy

467
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 14: who want to be looting, And I'm just wondering if

468
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 14: maybe these people have actually considered whether it is safer

469
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 14: for them to run into a fire or to continue

470
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 14: to exist within capitalism without access to resources, And after

471
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 14: weighing the pros and cons they concluded that the safer

472
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 14: option is to run into the fire to steal stuff.

473
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, that absolutely makes title sense.

474
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: Title sense, doesn't it?

475
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 2: Now to paint Hegseth being hounded by bitter banshees at

476
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 2: a Senate committee, And I've got to say this basically

477
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 2: just sums it up.

478
00:25:53,119 --> 00:26:02,719
Speaker 1: Organization says it old, isn't it.

479
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 2: But you know, look, it wouldn't be a lefties losing

480
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 2: it without actually taking you.

481
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: Through the lefties losing it.

482
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:12,959
Speaker 2: So let's start with Elizabeth Warren, the delightful Elizabeth Warren,

483
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 2: banging and carrying on.

484
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 8: In other words, you're quite sure that every general who

485
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 8: serves should not go directly into the defense industry for

486
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 8: ten years. You're not willing to make that same pledge.

487
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 7: I'm not a general, Senator.

488
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 2: Oh, the gotcha didn't quite work there, and the yelling

489
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 2: theatrical sideshow didn't end there.

490
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 9: In the DoD Everything you've said in these public statements

491
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 9: is politics. I don't want women, I don't want moms.

492
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: What's wrong with a mom?

493
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 9: By the way, once you have babies, you therefore are

494
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 9: no longer able to be lethal. I mean, you're basically

495
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 9: saying women after they have children can't ever serve in

496
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 9: the military in a combat role. It's a silly thing

497
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 9: to say. It's a silly thing to say beneath the position,

498
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 9: and that you are aspiring to to denigrate LGBTQ service

499
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 9: members is a mistake. If you are a sharpshooter, you're

500
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 9: as lethal regardless of what your gender identity is, regardless

501
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 9: of who you love.

502
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: It just doesn't. It doesn't in there.

503
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 2: It didn't in there because Q what appeared to be

504
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 2: a drunk and incoherent Maizie Herno from Hawaii.

505
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 17: Would you use our military to take over Greenland or

506
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 17: an ally of Denmark?

507
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: Senator?

508
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 7: One of the things that President Trump is so good

509
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 7: at is never strategically tipping his hand, and so I

510
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 7: would never in this public forum give one way or

511
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 7: another to direct what orders the president in any context.

512
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 17: That sounds to me that you would contemplate carrying out

513
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 17: such an order to basically invade Greenland and take over

514
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 17: the Panama Canal.

515
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 2: Yes, I really brought the big ones out from Hawaii

516
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: for this one, didn't I? And then the Democrats tragic

517
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 2: attempt at a gotcha moment backfired yet again.

518
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 7: Can you give me an experience or your actual experience

519
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 7: of driving innovation in an organization.

520
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 17: Give me an example of where you have done.

521
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 7: My Goodness Center absolutely a Concerned Veterans for America. We

522
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 7: created the Fixing Healthcare Veterans Healthcare task Force, a bipartisan

523
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 7: task force that never been done before, to create policy,

524
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 7: to drive policy change on Capitol Hill that organizations fought

525
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 7: ferociously against. Where we got the Via Accountability Act passed

526
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 7: and the Mission Act passed in a way that a

527
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 7: nonprofit of our size, veterans.

528
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: Organization, we appreciate it. Never done.

529
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 7: You're testified in all the letters we've put forward to

530
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 7: the committee which you're on the Okay, I have limited time.

531
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 2: Joining me now with plenty more lefties losing it content

532
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 2: is Newsweek Deputy Opinion editor Bartia Unga Sagan Bartia, thank

533
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 2: you so much for joining me. Let's start with that

534
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 2: brilliant performance by Pete Hegseeth at the Senate confirmation hearing.

535
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 2: Not only did he have to battle with a lunatic

536
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 2: congressmen and women.

537
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: The hearing was interrupted multiple times by protesters.

538
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 7: Have a look at the thank you for figuratively and

539
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 7: literally having my back.

540
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 5: You are Amus, not only that you are a.

541
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 18: Prety and readiness.

542
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 12: We stud money to find children, and shame on all you.

543
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 12: We need money. We need money for.

544
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: Only children.

545
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 11: That's a recruiting process.

546
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 2: Bart Yea considering this complete clown show. Peter haig Seth

547
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 2: absolutely owned that hearing. Why do the left love this

548
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 2: performative and theatrical chaos so much?

549
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: It's so funny.

550
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 12: You know, all of these people who are angry about

551
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 12: a policy that he would have no power over or

552
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 12: control over if he was confirmed as head of DoD

553
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 12: just completely irrelevant. And you're so right about the performativity

554
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 12: of it. I believe many of those protesters were from

555
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 12: Code Pink, which just shows up and says the same

556
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 12: stuff over and over, irregardless of you know what the

557
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 12: event is. He really handled himself very well. I thought

558
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 12: he was very respectful, including to the Democratic senators, some

559
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 12: of whom were very aggressive in their questioning of him.

560
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 12: I do think there was one missed opportunity, which is

561
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 12: Elizabeth Warren brought up that he has said, I think

562
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 12: quite rightly that generals should not be allowed to take

563
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 12: positions in the private sector in the defense industry for

564
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 12: ten years after they resign, and she asked him, well,

565
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 12: would you hold yourself to that same standard, and his

566
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 12: answer was well, I'm not a general, which many people

567
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,959
Speaker 12: laughed at. But honestly, that was a moment I thought

568
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 12: for a little bit of populist bipartisanship, why not say,

569
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 12: of course, as head of DoD, I would be in

570
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 12: a position to be corrupted if I didn't make that

571
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 12: scene promise. I wish he had done that, But aside

572
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 12: from that, I thought his performance was really impeccable. Of Course,

573
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 12: his wife was sitting there supporting him, and he really

574
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 12: acquitted himself with a lot of dignity.

575
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: I completely agree.

576
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 2: He was being hounded by these senators and every answer.

577
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: He gave was so poised. While they were.

578
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 2: Banging on the tables, they were carrying on, so I

579
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 2: actually think he did exceptionally well under the circumstances. Now,

580
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 2: Bartia one Earth is happening with the leadership team at

581
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 2: the City of Los Angeles. First, of course, Mayor Karen

582
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 2: Bass delivered this rather bizarre and uncomfortable performance when she

583
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 2: was asked why she trotted off to Ghana in the

584
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 2: middle of the bushfire crisis.

585
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 19: Do you, oh citizen's an apology for being absent while

586
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 19: their homes were burning? Do you regret coming the fire

587
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,479
Speaker 19: department budget by millions of dollars?

588
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: Madam?

589
00:31:53,800 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 19: There have you nothing to say today that have you

590
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 19: absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today? Elon Musk

591
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 19: says that you're utterly incompetent. Are you considering your position,

592
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 19: Madam Mayor have you absolutely nothing to say to the

593
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 19: citizens today who are dealing with this disaster?

594
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 2: And now we find out that her deputy Mayor, Brian Williams,

595
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 2: was reportedly placed on administrative leave last month after the

596
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 2: FBI raided his home in connection to an alleged bomb

597
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 2: threat he made against city Hall.

598
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: But here this guy was overseeing the La fire department.

599
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 2: How on earth are these people running the city.

600
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 12: You know what's so amazing to me is that the

601
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 12: rank and file firefighters have been able to perform an

602
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 12: almost inhuman level of competence, saving hundreds and thousands of

603
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 12: people's lives at a time when this insane act of

604
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 12: God has burned so much of Los Angeles, and yet

605
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 12: the leadership is so utterly incompetent. And I think it's

606
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,239
Speaker 12: not just on this front, right, California has become a

607
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 12: symbol of the broken contract between democratic leadership and the

608
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 12: voters and the citizens who on a host of issues,

609
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 12: whether it's homelessness or crime or just a functioning city,

610
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 12: they look to their leaders and they just see these

611
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 12: empty suits like Karen Bass or you know, just it's

612
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 12: what is Gavin Newsom but a good haircut on top

613
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 12: of a suit, right, I mean, there's just nothing happening there.

614
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 12: And I really think that, you know, it is both

615
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 12: the case that anybody would have struggled with a disaster

616
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 12: of this magnitude and the case that these two have

617
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 12: come to represent in these moments, just the absolute absence

618
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 12: of democratic leadership, especially in a place like California.

619
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 2: Absolutely look for leadership during these times of crisis, and

620
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 2: my heart goes out to them because there simply is

621
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,720
Speaker 2: no leadership right now. And speaken of, dozens of looters

622
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 2: have been caught sneaking into ritzy neighborhoods in LA following

623
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 2: those wildfires. More than forty people have since been named

624
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,760
Speaker 2: and shamed by the Santa Monica Police Department.

625
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: Buttia, how big of an issue is this now?

626
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 12: Oh gosh, what a horrible, horrible thing to see in

627
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 12: a moment that should be unifying, and I think really

628
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,399
Speaker 12: has been unifying, because, of course, it looks to us

629
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 12: that this was a tragedy that struck the very rich,

630
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 12: because so many movie stars have lost their homes, but

631
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 12: there were a lot of working class and middle class

632
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 12: neighborhoods that were also hit very, very hard, and there's

633
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 12: been a lot of unity in coming together and people

634
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 12: demanding better on behalf of each other. And they're fellow

635
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 12: Americans and fellow Californians. And then to see something like this,

636
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 12: Isn't it just so heartbreaking that there are people who

637
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 12: would take advantage of us in the weakest, most vulnerable moments.

638
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 2: No, it's just absolutely awful, awful to hear that this

639
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 2: is happening. Now, let's move on. Now we've got to

640
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 2: talk about MSNBC. It really seems as though it keeps

641
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 2: going downhill for that.

642
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: Liberal lunatic network.

643
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 2: And of course it's all happening a days before Donald

644
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,720
Speaker 2: Trump returns to the White House. But now it's President

645
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 2: Rashida Jones has announced that she is stepping down after.

646
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: Four years in the role Bartia.

647
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 2: Between the failing, the dismal ratings, the crazy hosts who

648
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:36,720
Speaker 2: are so desperate a restructure, and now they've lost their boss,

649
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,720
Speaker 2: the question has to be asked, what does the future

650
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,240
Speaker 2: hold for MSNBC.

651
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 12: I have to tell you AMSNBC, you know, getting rid

652
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 12: of its boss, Mark Zuckerberg, you know, out there with

653
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 12: the mayor Kolpers. It really makes me sick to my

654
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 12: stomach because they are out there pretending like they did

655
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 12: not intentionally try to turn half of the country against

656
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 12: the other half just because they failed. Now suddenly they're saying,

657
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 12: we're going to turn over a new leaf. We're going

658
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 12: to do the right thing. They are just following the vibes.

659
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 12: They are just following the winds and bowing to pressure again.

660
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 12: Now it happens to be pressure to the people who

661
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 12: have always wanted what's best for this country, bowing to

662
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 12: pressure to people who want to unify the country. But

663
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 12: don't for a second believe that these people have anything

664
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 12: but a profit motive at stake here. They're not doing

665
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,760
Speaker 12: this because they've had to come to Jesus moment. Whatever

666
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 12: they say, they're doing this because the country has turned

667
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 12: against the divisiveness of progressive politics, and so they're now

668
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 12: trying to ride the wave. And what is that wave.

669
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 12: It's the unity that President Trump has brought with him

670
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 12: by unifying the working class in this country. And on

671
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 12: the one end, yeah, it's great that they're going to

672
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 12: stop calling everybody recess and stop calling everybody names and

673
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,240
Speaker 12: stop trying to demonize people as Nazis and as Hitler.

674
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 12: But on the other hand, it's going to be a

675
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 12: long road to build back the trust that they squandered

676
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 12: when they really tried to turn Americans against each other.

677
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and while they persist with these crazy hosts like

678
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 2: the Joyless Joy read realistically that there is no hope

679
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 2: for MSNBC, seriously, that they're just a joke of a network. Now, Bartia,

680
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 2: the leftist DC mayor, has distanced herself from an anti

681
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 2: Trump ad displaying the city's official logos keep DC Trash Free.

682
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: As you can see, this ad reads.

683
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 2: Featuring a MAGA hat wearing man holding a copy of

684
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 2: Project twenty twenty five with a red line through his head,

685
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 2: and the logos for the district of Columbia Department of

686
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 2: Public Works and the Mayor's Office of the City Clean Program. Now,

687
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 2: the Mayor's office has since claimed that they had no

688
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 2: part in creating or authorizing this ad.

689
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: But Bartia, it's quite.

690
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 2: Incredible that something like this could have ever been produced in.

691
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: The first place.

692
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,760
Speaker 2: It says plenty about what sort of a place DC

693
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 2: has become.

694
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 12: Oh absolutely, And if this had happened four years ago

695
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 12: or eight years ago, she probably would have been taking

696
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 12: credit for it.

697
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: Right. This is how you see.

698
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 12: That we're really in a new moment, and I'm so

699
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 12: grateful for it.

700
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 1: You do see people.

701
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 12: On the left trying to distance themselves from just the

702
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 12: absolutely toxic rhetoric around Donald Trump over the last decade.

703
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 12: I think they've been really chastened by their voters. And

704
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 12: there are people who want to say, Okay, how can

705
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 12: we make our way back to the center, how can

706
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 12: we once again represent working class voters? Whether they want

707
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 12: to hear the answer to that question is a very

708
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 12: different story.

709
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a very different story. But Jay, it

710
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 2: just speaks volumes, doesn't it.

711
00:38:57,880 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: Now.

712
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 2: Look, you mentioned the inauguration. We're already days away from it.

713
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 2: It couldn't come soon enough, finally we're at that pointy end.

714
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 2: But I'm going to ask you about these reports that

715
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 2: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg will all be

716
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 2: in attendance with a prominent spot at that ceremony. Bartie,

717
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 2: I mean, these tech CEOs, they've always really been rivals,

718
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 2: but now they're all on the same side in a way.

719
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: What does that suggest in your view?

720
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 12: All right, I may be reading too much into this,

721
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 12: but to me, this actually looks like a little bit

722
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 12: of a downgrading of Elon Musk, who has of course

723
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 12: been Donald Trump's, you know, number two since he won

724
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 12: the election. He's in every photo, He's next to him

725
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 12: at Maro Lago all the time.

726
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: But at the.

727
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 12: Inauguration he's going to be seated along with every other

728
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 12: tech titan who paid a million dollars toward Trump's transition team.

729
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:51,240
Speaker 12: And I have to say I feel relieved to see that, because,

730
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 12: of course you have all of these people now bending

731
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 12: thenee to Trump, trying to ingratiate themselves, people like Jeff

732
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 12: Bezos and Zuckerberg who were so anti Trump for so

733
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 12: but I am glad to see Elon Musk put back

734
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 12: in his place. That is where he belongs. You know,

735
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 12: he has a very close relationship with China, like everybody

736
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 12: in Silicon Valley, is constantly bending the knee to China

737
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,439
Speaker 12: and to China's demands, And so I feel a little

738
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 12: bit relieved to see him put back in the company

739
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 12: of those others, so that Donald Trump can make good

740
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 12: on his promises to the American people in his real

741
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,919
Speaker 12: America first push on issues like immigration, which of course

742
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 12: the Maga Movement and Elon Musk have been at loggerheads over,

743
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 12: and also punishing China for all of the ways in

744
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 12: which it continues to be our greatest adversary.

745
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 2: That's a really good point. It's certainly putting them back

746
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 2: in their place, that's for sure. Now, look, let's talk

747
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 2: about TikTok, because there have been reports that Chinese officials

748
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 2: were in preliminary talks about a potential option to sell

749
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 2: TikTok's operations in the US too Elon Musk should the

750
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,479
Speaker 2: app be unable to avoid an.

751
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: Impending ban over there. TikTok has since dismissed that. Bartia,

752
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: what do you think could happen here?

753
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 2: It's very interesting to me because there are over one

754
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy million users in the US alone, many

755
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 2: of whom who have built platforms and businesses. They're making

756
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 2: money now from this app.

757
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: It's so popular.

758
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 2: If Alon Musk doesn't step in and buy it, is.

759
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:18,800
Speaker 1: It really the end in the US?

760
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 12: I think it might be. The Chinese have indicated that

761
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 12: they would rather completely delete the app than sell it.

762
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 12: I think it's very interesting if it does go to

763
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 12: Elon Musk. What that says again about his relationship with China,

764
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 12: because they would rather delete the app than allow an

765
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 12: American to buy it. Except Elon Musk, right, which tells

766
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 12: you a lot about that relationship with the CCP. But okay,

767
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 12: they're denying it for now. They're not known for telling

768
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 12: the truth. I do think that it could happen that

769
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 12: TikTok will simply disappear from our phones. It presents a

770
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 12: major national security risk. The Chinese are constantly constantly stealing

771
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 12: data off.

772
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 1: Of people's phones.

773
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 12: It's also very unhealthy for children. We know that there

774
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,720
Speaker 12: are kids who committed suicide because the algorithm on TikTok

775
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 12: led them down that dark road. And most importantly, the

776
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 12: Chinese don't allow their own children to use this, which

777
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,800
Speaker 12: tells you a lot about how they think it impacts children.

778
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 12: They have their own Chinese version, which is incredibly educational

779
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 12: and very boring. Apparently it's impossible to stay on it

780
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 12: for more than twenty minutes without getting born out of

781
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 12: your mind and shutting out of it. So I think

782
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 12: it could either sell it to an American or get

783
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 12: rid of it. Selling it to Elon Musk is like

784
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 12: allowing the Chinese to keep operating it in my opinion.

785
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, fair enough. I'll be very curious.

786
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 2: I know there's a lot of TikTok uses over the

787
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 2: US who are crying over this decision, but yeah, it

788
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 2: remains to be seen, doesn't it.

789
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 1: Now? Before we let you go.

790
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 2: There's a lot of conversation surrounding a ceasefire deal between

791
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 2: Israel and Hamas Bartiya.

792
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: How would something like this benefit to Israel?

793
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 12: So Israelis are very divided on this because they feel

794
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 12: that the deal is it's very complicated. On the one hand,

795
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 12: they're going to get back thirty three highsages, not all

796
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 12: of them are alive, but they will get back a

797
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 12: lot of all of the remaining women, including the women's

798
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 12: soldiers who were horrifically horrifically captured by HEMS. So this

799
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 12: is obviously a huge win. On the other hand, they

800
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,399
Speaker 12: feel that they will not be allowed to continue prosecuting

801
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 12: the war to the full, fullest extent. I think this

802
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 12: is a great deal. I think Donald Trump knew exactly

803
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 12: what he was doing when he puts Steve Witkoff in

804
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 12: charge of this, Steve Whitcoff, who showed up and said

805
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 12: to b B Natanyao, We're going to do this President

806
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 12: Trump's way, and he wants those hostages released, and so

807
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 12: you're gonna have to say hello. And then Steve Witkoff

808
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 12: went to Qatar, where he has a really good relationship

809
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 12: with the Qataris, and managed to get Hemas to the table.

810
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 12: So I think, first of all, it's a great deal

811
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 12: to see those girls home in the arms of their

812
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 12: fathers and mothers. I cannot wait for the moment. I

813
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 12: don't think Donald Trump is going to allow Israel to

814
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 12: be in a weak position visa Vihmas. I think that

815
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 12: he will reward them for doing this, And I think

816
00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 12: that this is an example of what we can expect

817
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 12: from Donald Trump's foreign policy. More broadly, he is the

818
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,760
Speaker 12: deal maker. He knows how to make the Middle East

819
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 12: do what he thinks it should do. My friend said

820
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 12: Jalani says, Donald Trump is kind of like a Gulf Arab.

821
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 12: You know, he sends his son in law and his

822
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 12: you know, Orthodox Jews and you know, rich developers to

823
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 12: go over there and push his interests and get a

824
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 12: good deal. And you know that's what he did. And

825
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 12: he's not even president yet. There was one of the

826
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 12: Arab officials in Doha gave an interview and he said

827
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 12: Donald Trump, through Steve Whitkoff, got more done in one

828
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 12: conversation with Natanyahu than Biden did in the two years

829
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 12: since October seventh. And I think that just speaks volumes.

830
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 12: Thank God Barhashem. We are in a new era and

831
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 12: I truly hope that you know, all of those people

832
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 12: come home, that the families who's who's whose hostages, family

833
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 12: members who are hostages are dead, get their body so

834
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 12: they can give them a proper burial and they should

835
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:56,400
Speaker 12: never ever happen again.

836
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, we all hope and pray for the same.

837
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 2: At our Unga Sagan always really great to speak with you.

838
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for joining us on the show.

839
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,280
Speaker 2: This evening still to come. Women's sports delivered a major

840
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 2: win after a bill to prevent biological men from competing

841
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 2: past the United States House of Representatives. Stephanie Bastian will

842
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 2: join me next to some great news in the US,

843
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 2: A bill preventing transgender women from competing in female sports

844
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 2: at schools across the country has passed through the House

845
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 2: of Representatives. It's clear that Trump effect is well and

846
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 2: truly in swing. Joining me now is Women's Forum Australia's

847
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 2: head of advocacy, Stephanie Bastian. Stephanie, thanks for joining me

848
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 2: explaining the significance of this decision to us.

849
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 4: Great to join you, Danika. This is absolutely wonderful. This

850
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 4: really compliments the decision last week by the courts to

851
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 4: overturn Title nine, which is a piece of legislation that

852
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 4: was introduced to protect women in education settings and to

853
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 4: protect them from discrimination on campus. What this legislation, What

854
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 4: this bill will do if it passes through the Senate's

855
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 4: still got to go through there yet. It will entrench

856
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 4: into law protection for women in sports. It will ensure

857
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 4: that male competitors who identify as women can't invade these

858
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:23,439
Speaker 4: sports and.

859
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 1: Take their places.

860
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 4: It will reduce women from the risk of injury and

861
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 4: harm overall, it's a wonderful piece of legislation. It's something

862
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,479
Speaker 4: that we actually need here in Australia as well. Claire

863
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 4: Chandler has a bill, the Save Women's Sports Bill, and

864
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 4: I really hope it gets some attention, particularly in the

865
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 4: lead up to the election, because we know that women

866
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 4: in Australia are being harmed by these policies, particularly in

867
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 4: a community setting where they're prioritizing diversity and inclusion of

868
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 4: a fairness and safety.

869
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

870
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 2: So this is a wake up call to Australia because

871
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 2: we've got a lot of problems when it comes to

872
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 2: these issues down under. Now, look, we should all be

873
00:46:56,600 --> 00:47:00,760
Speaker 2: very concerned about the indoctrination of children in classrooms into

874
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 2: this woke gender ideology, but have a look at this.

875
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 2: Over in the US, Sarah McBride is the first transgender

876
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 2: member of Congress. She was participating in a Jazz and

877
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,760
Speaker 2: Friends National Day of School and Community Readings, which provides

878
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:17,800
Speaker 2: trainings and resources for elementary school educators to help quote

879
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 2: welcome diverse families, create LGBTQ and gender inclusive schools, prevent

880
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 2: bias based bullying, and support transgender and non binary students.

881
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: Have a look at this.

882
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 16: I have a girl Green, but a boy Bardy.

883
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 1: This is called.

884
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 2: Transgender, Stephanie. This is an absolute disgrace. They had children

885
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 2: and they're being exposed to woke gender ideology already, and

886
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 2: yet once again they claim it's all done under the

887
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 2: banner of inclusivity.

888
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:49,359
Speaker 1: Where does it end.

889
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I mean, this is a classic example of the

890
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 4: harmful indoctrination that is being done to kids. It's not

891
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 4: only in doctrination, it's factually incorrect. Well, I think the

892
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 4: American government needs to do is they need to look

893
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 4: at organizations like the American Library Association and all the

894
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 4: work programs that they're running. They've canceled Laura Ingles Wilder

895
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 4: over her historic recordings of American history through her literacy,

896
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 4: They've promote diversity inclusion programs which are very woke, and

897
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 4: they need to strip the funding from these organizations. And

898
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 4: this is something we actually need to do in Australia too.

899
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:27,399
Speaker 4: The only reason organizations like AKON are being propped up

900
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 4: and their subsidiary organizations through their education programs at schools

901
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 4: and in libraries is because of the millions of dollars

902
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 4: being poured into them. By taxpayer funds. Let the private

903
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 4: sector decide if they want to fund these organizations, but

904
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,800
Speaker 4: it shouldn't be coming from the public person has to stop.

905
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 2: It does look we're almost out of time, but very quickly.

906
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 2: A teenager has been granted permission to access cross sex

907
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 2: hormones despite a family court judge in Australia conceding that

908
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:58,320
Speaker 2: there are risks associated with the treatment. I find this baffling, Stephanie.

909
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 2: I mean, if there are risks, I give it to

910
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:01,320
Speaker 2: a teenager.

911
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 4: It's absolutely devastating for the child that's involved. But the

912
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 4: judgment noted that they gave great weight to the National

913
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 4: Standards of Care, which is being pushed by w PATH

914
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:18,839
Speaker 4: in conjunction with OSPAK, both discredited organizations in this field.

915
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 4: It's being promoted by activists. What we need, Kderanekia, is

916
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 4: we need to have an inquiry, a national inquiry, because

917
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 4: it's wrong that these judges are making decisions on this

918
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 4: outdated information. Kudos to the parents that are in court fighting,

919
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 4: putting their time and money in line to save their children,

920
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 4: but they shouldn't have to. And with what we know overseas,

921
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 4: with the findings of the CAST review and the international

922
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 4: community moving away from the gender affirmation model. It is

923
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 4: totally unacceptable that in twenty twenty five these decisions are

924
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 4: still being made and we haven't had a national inquiry.

925
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: I completely agree with you. It's an absolute disgrace.

926
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:55,839
Speaker 2: Stephanie Bastian, good to speak with you.

927
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,359
Speaker 1: Thank you very much for joining me this evening. Well

928
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 1: that's it for me. Up next is news Night. Good

929
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 1: Night

930
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 6: Mm hm
