WEBVTT - The Rita Panahi Show | 15 January

0:00:02.680 --> 0:00:07.160
<v Speaker 1>On Skorne Lives Australia. This is the Reader Paney Show.

0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:11.200
<v Speaker 2>Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panahee Show. I'm

0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Danikiti Giorgio.

0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Coming up.

0:00:13.000 --> 0:00:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Labour sinks even lower with its dirty campaign tactics. Will

0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:21.120
<v Speaker 2>show you the latest attack on Peter Dutton, the implymer

0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:24.160
<v Speaker 2>on why Chris Bowen is using dodgy tactics to deceive

0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:27.800
<v Speaker 2>the public on the cost of nuclear energy. Donald Trump's

0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Secretary of Defense pick Pete Hegseth is attacked by woke

0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:36.479
<v Speaker 2>senators and targeted by protesters at a chaotic confirmation hearing.

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:40.519
<v Speaker 2>Bartia Unga Saden will give us her take a win

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:44.000
<v Speaker 2>for common sense. In the US, a bill preventing transgender

0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 2>women from competing in female sports has passed through the

0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:51.879
<v Speaker 2>House of Representatives. Stephanie Bastian will join me, and of

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:55.800
<v Speaker 2>course Lefty is losing arch, including this gender bending lefty

0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 2>who can't quite grasp biology.

0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 3>The parts you see on an ultrasound don't determine a

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 3>baby's gender.

0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Joining me now is.

0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:07.679
<v Speaker 2>Sky News contributor Prue McSwain. Prue, good to see you,

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Thank you very much for joining me on this show.

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:12.839
<v Speaker 2>Now I want to start with Labour's anti Semitism envoy,

0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:17.120
<v Speaker 2>because she has warned that democracy is at stake and

0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 2>that the nation's judiciary is failing Jewish Australians with weak

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:26.120
<v Speaker 2>sentences that are handing anti Semitic criminals effective impunity. In

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:30.120
<v Speaker 2>an extraordinary intervention after an explosion of anti Semitic attacks

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 2>on synagogues and family homes over the summer, Gillian Siegel

0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:38.279
<v Speaker 2>said Anthony Alberanezi must convene national Cabinet to take immediate action.

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:39.240
<v Speaker 4>Proue.

0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:41.039
<v Speaker 1>Look, of course there.

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:42.959
<v Speaker 2>Needs to be immediate action, but action should have happened

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 2>in my opinion months ago. Why has it taken so

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 2>long to get to the point where we're going.

0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 1>We need intervention. Democracy is at.

0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:53.440
<v Speaker 5>Stake, well one hundred percent, And you know it was

0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 5>a cynical thing. I believe that he even pointed a

0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.240
<v Speaker 5>nonvoy and he was never going to listen to her. Now,

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 5>of course he's on the skids, and this is why

0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:07.560
<v Speaker 5>Albanesi is on the skids, because Australians, mainstream Australians, are

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 5>sick and tired and concerned that this country has changed

0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:15.800
<v Speaker 5>so much. The social cohesion in this country, the tolerance

0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:19.480
<v Speaker 5>and acceptance that we've enjoyed for years, years and years

0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:23.600
<v Speaker 5>is now dissolving between our eyes. And it's because of

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 5>this government's in action. You know, it started on October seven,

0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:32.640
<v Speaker 5>on October nine, after the Opera House and the fact

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 5>that sanctions were not imposed on those people, those anti

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.919
<v Speaker 5>Semitic acts, and it's been happening. It's all words from

0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:44.280
<v Speaker 5>this government and he's not listening to this envoy clearly,

0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 5>the fact that he has what we've seen, what's happened

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 5>in the UN and what's been going on with Wong

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:53.480
<v Speaker 5>and of Albanesi and how they've betrayed Australia and Israel

0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 5>and the relationship we've had for so many years and

0:02:56.639 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 5>Jews everywhere, and in fact, what he doesn't understand this

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 5>is an attack on not just us, it's an attack

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 5>on all Australians who support yous, who have supported multiculturalism.

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 5>And this is now what we're facing. And it's because

0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:16.079
<v Speaker 5>it's totally and solely because of this government's inaction.

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, I agreed.

0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:20.120
<v Speaker 2>It's interesting because a labor mayor in Sydney has also

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:23.680
<v Speaker 2>said that his electorate has become a tinderbox after a

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:25.600
<v Speaker 2>spate of anti Semitic attacks.

0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 1>He also says the.

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Greens are at every level have failed to combat the.

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Hatred and inflame tensions.

0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:34.520
<v Speaker 2>This is according to Inner West Mayor Darcy Byrne, he's

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 2>calling for bipartisan action. Well, I would argue that, you know,

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.720
<v Speaker 2>the coalition has been very good from the very beginning

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 2>and there's no bipartisan action proved because Labor haven't gotten

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 2>to that point where they want bipartisan action.

0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.240
<v Speaker 1>I agree with him wholeheartily on the Greens.

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 2>They've been a disgrace from the very beginning, but Labor

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:54.840
<v Speaker 2>has to do something exactly.

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:57.960
<v Speaker 5>You know, it's amusing that this Darcy Byrne, who's a

0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 5>Labor mayor, is pointing the fear at the Greens. Sure,

0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 5>as you say, the Greens have been culpable and are despicable,

0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 5>and I think that they have underestimated the extent of

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 5>angst in mainstream Australia and with fair minded younger Australians

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:18.440
<v Speaker 5>and even the elites because it's so bad. So I

0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 5>think that you know, we've seen it in the election

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:24.039
<v Speaker 5>in Queensland and various other polling and the Act and

0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 5>the Act of course, and you know, you know that

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:30.240
<v Speaker 5>they're losing support, and thank god they are. But in

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:33.400
<v Speaker 5>this case, you know, this Labor mayor is having a

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.560
<v Speaker 5>go at the Greens. Give us a break date, you

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:36.480
<v Speaker 5>know there's an.

0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Election coming up.

0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's all very tactical in my view, prow. Now, look,

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:45.400
<v Speaker 2>Peter Dutton and Anthony Abernezi have presented a bipartisan threat

0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:48.920
<v Speaker 2>of the strongest possible action against the Kremlin if Australian

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 2>foreign fighter Oscar Jenkins is confirmed to have been executed

0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:56.240
<v Speaker 2>by Russian forces following his capture in Eastern Ukraine. He

0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:57.440
<v Speaker 2>was the Prime Minister earlier.

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:04.599
<v Speaker 6>We call upon Russia too immediately confirm Oscar jenkins status.

0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:08.640
<v Speaker 6>If there has been any harm caused to Oscar Jenkins,

0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:12.279
<v Speaker 6>it's absolutely reprehensible and the Australian Gubbment will take the

0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:13.720
<v Speaker 6>strongest action possible.

0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:18.560
<v Speaker 2>Proue, I highly doubt that Vladimir Putin's listening to Anthony Albanisi.

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:23.120
<v Speaker 2>You know, the strongest condemnation. That's not strong condemnation. But

0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.600
<v Speaker 2>what action should be taken here in your view, because

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.320
<v Speaker 2>this man is an Australian But what can we do really.

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:32.360
<v Speaker 5>Well, this is the problem. I mean, short of doing sanctions.

0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:35.680
<v Speaker 5>We know that they've broken. Well, we don't even know

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.680
<v Speaker 5>if the man has been killed, but we're assuming, we're assuming.

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, many of us.

0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:45.480
<v Speaker 5>Have wondered why he joined the Ukraine legion anyway, but

0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:46.799
<v Speaker 5>that's his choice.

0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 1>It's tragic that this has happened.

0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 5>Waving your finger at the ambassador here is not going

0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 5>to do anything. They're saying they may expel him. Who

0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:57.040
<v Speaker 5>cares cares?

0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:58.840
<v Speaker 1>What's that going to? That's doing nothing.

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 5>So the problem is that the weakness of this government

0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:07.760
<v Speaker 5>and Albinizi is evident internationally. So the Russians won't give

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:11.040
<v Speaker 5>us stuff what we do, so shot of sanctions and

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.840
<v Speaker 5>holding if there is any money here, Russian money here

0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:17.040
<v Speaker 5>or something, I can't see what is it. It's just sort

0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:18.400
<v Speaker 5>of hitting them with a feather duck.

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:19.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I mean nothing's going to I mean they're

0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 2>not shaking in their boots right now listening to Albo

0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:23.799
<v Speaker 2>from Australia, that's for sure.

0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:27.360
<v Speaker 1>Now look here we go again with dirty.

0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Campaign tactics, because the woman trying to oust Opposition leader

0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Peter Dutton has been accused of bullying after organizing a

0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:38.719
<v Speaker 2>fundraiser called Potato Night. This is from Labour's candidate for Dixon.

0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:41.919
<v Speaker 2>Ali Franz, who sent out email invites two supporters for

0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 2>a Potato Night fundraiser with potato themed activities in a

0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:50.920
<v Speaker 2>quote distasteful nod to disparaging nicknames which target mister Dutton's appearance. Now,

0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:54.279
<v Speaker 2>pro look, this is the second such dirty tactic we've seen.

0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Remember that one that came out from the Victorian Labor branch.

0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.800
<v Speaker 2>A couple of weeks ago, where Peter Dutton's wife and

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:03.680
<v Speaker 2>up in this ad. You know, Albanezy spent the last

0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:06.520
<v Speaker 2>week attacking Peter Dutton. As it is, you can see

0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:08.800
<v Speaker 2>a trend here. This is the trend now from Labor.

0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:12.000
<v Speaker 2>It's attack attacked because they've got nothing to show for themselves.

0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:13.000
<v Speaker 1>So do you think.

0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.440
<v Speaker 2>Dirty tactics of what Labour's going to be presenting between

0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:16.600
<v Speaker 2>now and a federal election.

0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 5>I'm sure they are. But I say go your hardest,

0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.400
<v Speaker 5>because the more you do it, the more the rest

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.640
<v Speaker 5>of us think you are despicable and you deserve to

0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.360
<v Speaker 5>be thrown out. And the amplifies the fact that they

0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:31.880
<v Speaker 5>have no policies, they have nothing else to say. Attacking

0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.640
<v Speaker 5>the man didn't work in America, as we saw with Trump,

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:37.040
<v Speaker 5>and we you know We're.

0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Better than this.

0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.560
<v Speaker 5>We as in the voters, are better than this. We're

0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.160
<v Speaker 5>not going to put up with this. Daily we are

0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:47.200
<v Speaker 5>reminded how bad this government is just in our day

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:51.080
<v Speaker 5>to day lives, and they're just reinforcing it. So go

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:53.760
<v Speaker 5>your hardest, call him every name under the same. So

0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:55.760
<v Speaker 5>it's like when we were little kids and news to

0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:57.440
<v Speaker 5>get call people names.

0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:01.480
<v Speaker 1>It's pathetic, isn't it. It is totally old and pathetic. Yeah, yeah,

0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:03.360
<v Speaker 1>but this is the problem now that we're heading into

0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:03.840
<v Speaker 1>an election.

0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:06.560
<v Speaker 2>Labour's got nothing to show for themselves because they were

0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.200
<v Speaker 2>elected on a cost of living mandate. They've made so

0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 2>many stuff up since twenty twenty two. And this is

0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:14.160
<v Speaker 2>typical of the left that when they're under pressure the

0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:18.600
<v Speaker 2>polls about they start attacking so hardly surprising. Now this

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:22.760
<v Speaker 2>is an important one because deradicalization programs have failed to

0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:26.880
<v Speaker 2>change the behavior of high risk individuals and authority sphere

0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:30.040
<v Speaker 2>could commit acts of terror in Australia or even produce

0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:33.840
<v Speaker 2>data on whether the initiative actually works. The Australian Institute

0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:37.199
<v Speaker 2>of Criminology found that the behavior of some individuals actually

0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:42.680
<v Speaker 2>worsened in the program, triggering the involvement of law enforcement agencies.

0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Prow look, I think that I take this as a

0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.200
<v Speaker 2>warning sign to Australia and a big worry. A couple

0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.240
<v Speaker 2>of weeks ago we saw the New Orleans terror attack.

0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.080
<v Speaker 1>That was a wake up call. That was a big,

0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:55.840
<v Speaker 1>big wake.

0:08:55.679 --> 0:09:01.160
<v Speaker 2>Up call about terrorism coming back into countries, into Western countries.

0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:04.880
<v Speaker 1>But from our perspective, I mean, if you are considered

0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:05.679
<v Speaker 1>or deemed.

0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:09.080
<v Speaker 2>To be at risk, surely we've got to enforce tougher consequences.

0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:11.240
<v Speaker 2>If you're from overseas, you need to be deported. We

0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:15.960
<v Speaker 2>can't just keep these people on programs if they're not rehabilitating.

0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Because there are risks to society exactly.

0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:21.400
<v Speaker 5>James Patterson, you know who's so impressive, the Shadow Home

0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:25.400
<v Speaker 5>Affairs spokesman, was saying that post sentence restrictions need to

0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.560
<v Speaker 5>be imposed. We need to keep them in detention more.

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.960
<v Speaker 5>You know what really gets to me is that why

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.760
<v Speaker 5>are these preachers of hate Islam?

0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:36.880
<v Speaker 1>These are Islamic Islamic.

0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:41.360
<v Speaker 5>Preachers of hate who are clearly and openly inciting hatred

0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:44.600
<v Speaker 5>are not deported or shut down?

0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:46.840
<v Speaker 1>Are we serious about this?

0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 5>You know, having these programs. This one's called Living Safe Together,

0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:52.000
<v Speaker 5>intervention program.

0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:52.880
<v Speaker 1>It's one of.

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:56.400
<v Speaker 5>Those sort of softly, softly, feel good things that are

0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.560
<v Speaker 5>not going to do anything for anyone. We've just committed

0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.640
<v Speaker 5>sixty one point seven million over four years for it,

0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:04.280
<v Speaker 5>and it's proven to be in effective.

0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, we walk on eggshells, don't we. We we we tiptoe.

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:08.320
<v Speaker 1>This is typical tiptoeing.

0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.839
<v Speaker 2>Don't want to offend certain people this and look what happens.

0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:15.760
<v Speaker 2>They're not working now. This is I mean, the hypocrisy

0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 2>is very very clear here. Oscar winning actor and so

0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:24.160
<v Speaker 2>called climate change activist Leonardo DiCaprio has faced backlash after

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:27.480
<v Speaker 2>he used a private jet to flee the Wildflyers in

0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:31.760
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles. Yes, they're all climate warriors when they want

0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.720
<v Speaker 2>to be climate warriors, prove. But then the truth always

0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:35.880
<v Speaker 2>comes out, doesn't it.

0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 5>It sure does. It's spent eighty million or something already

0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:43.439
<v Speaker 5>on climate change. But we saw that with all these

0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:47.000
<v Speaker 5>you know, in Doha recently, all these cop out organization

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:50.480
<v Speaker 5>or conferences where they all flying in their jets. It's

0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:53.040
<v Speaker 5>just a load of bull. Let's face, it is. But

0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:55.679
<v Speaker 5>I must admit if I was in his shoes and

0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:57.840
<v Speaker 5>the fires were fanning around me and I had a

0:10:57.840 --> 0:10:59.560
<v Speaker 5>private jet, I'd get the hell out of there.

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:03.040
<v Speaker 2>I understand that you wouldn't get the hell out of it.

0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:05.400
<v Speaker 1>It's what did they call it, ridiculous hypocrisy.

0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:09.600
<v Speaker 2>It's everywhere, It's always there anyway, Thank you, Pro McSwain,

0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:13.160
<v Speaker 2>good to speak, there's always thanks for coming on this evening. Well,

0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:16.760
<v Speaker 2>we've all seen the devastating fires in Los Angeles. But

0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:20.480
<v Speaker 2>it didn't stop the alarmists blaming the fires on you

0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:24.840
<v Speaker 2>guessed it, climate change. Never mind the poor water management

0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:26.920
<v Speaker 2>by LA authorities.

0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:28.160
<v Speaker 1>The ignored warnings, the lack.

0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Of funding, the Biden administration stopping control burns, DEI policies

0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.720
<v Speaker 2>in the fire department, and the list goes on.

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Not that that deterred the doomsday cult.

0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.439
<v Speaker 7>You would have to be a fool to not understand

0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:45.040
<v Speaker 7>what climate change is doing to this country, in the world.

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Wildfire is raging in LA are highlighting the risk of

0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:49.319
<v Speaker 2>climate change.

0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:50.480
<v Speaker 1>Yes, climate change.

0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.199
<v Speaker 8>The wildfires in California are the leadst in a string

0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.880
<v Speaker 8>of natural disasters made worse by climate change.

0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:59.160
<v Speaker 3>Big part of why we're seeing more wildfires is climate change.

0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:01.240
<v Speaker 1>We're going to talk about these destructive fire is compounded

0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:02.200
<v Speaker 1>by climate.

0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:05.400
<v Speaker 8>Climate change set up the conditions for this supercharged fire.

0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:07.679
<v Speaker 9>It exacerbated and increased by climate change.

0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:11.360
<v Speaker 10>Climate change which is political, but it's clearly a major

0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:12.080
<v Speaker 10>driver here.

0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:16.360
<v Speaker 6>Climate change will only make wildfires more common.

0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:20.040
<v Speaker 2>It's no wonder the American public is losing trust in

0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:23.880
<v Speaker 2>their news outlets, TV and newspaper reporters rank with the

0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:29.760
<v Speaker 2>likes of cast salespeople, lawyers, and advertising professionals. Joining me

0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:33.240
<v Speaker 2>now all the way from Saudi Arabia is esteemed geologists.

0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:36.400
<v Speaker 2>Professor Ian plimer Ian, nice to see you. Thank you

0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:40.040
<v Speaker 2>so much for joining me. After every natural disaster, why

0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:43.400
<v Speaker 2>do the left always rush to blame it all on

0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:44.640
<v Speaker 2>climate change?

0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:49.439
<v Speaker 11>Because they've never had any evidence that humans drive climate change.

0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:53.679
<v Speaker 11>It's never been showing. This is the greatest scientific scam

0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.680
<v Speaker 11>we've ever had in the history of time. No one

0:12:56.720 --> 0:13:00.520
<v Speaker 11>has ever shown that human emissions drive global warming. No

0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.200
<v Speaker 11>one has ever shown there's no data.

0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:05.080
<v Speaker 12>So here we have a problem.

0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:08.880
<v Speaker 11>I've been chasing climate institutes for years. Just give me

0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.640
<v Speaker 11>half a dozen scientific papers. They can't do it.

0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:15.920
<v Speaker 13>So if you've got ingrown toenails, or your car breaks down,

0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.800
<v Speaker 13>or there's a fire, that's not nearly as great as

0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:22.600
<v Speaker 13>the nineteenth century fires, then it's got to be climate changed.

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.760
<v Speaker 11>We have to blame humans for what we're doing in this.

0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:30.120
<v Speaker 11>In Australia, we had huge fires in nineteen thirty nine

0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.760
<v Speaker 11>and again in the eighteen fifties. They were far greater

0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:38.240
<v Speaker 11>than anything we had in any summer in recent times.

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:40.960
<v Speaker 11>Yet we're told of the recent fires are year to

0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:45.760
<v Speaker 11>climate change. Maybe they should look at actually maintaining the forests,

0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 11>maintaining their vehicles, having a forest fighting crew rather than

0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:53.920
<v Speaker 11>the city fighting crew helping out. Maybe having fairly modern

0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:58.320
<v Speaker 11>electricity transmission wires rather than ancient wires. Maybe they shouldn't

0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:01.000
<v Speaker 11>be so clean and green and water underful, and build

0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:04.719
<v Speaker 11>houses in forests surrounded by flammable trees that are full

0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:10.160
<v Speaker 11>of oils. Maybe, just maybe the Left is being absolutely

0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:14.720
<v Speaker 11>hypical critical, and maybe they're showing that they're totally ignorant.

0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:17.600
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely As he said, you've only got to look all

0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:20.200
<v Speaker 2>the way back into history to know that there were

0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:22.000
<v Speaker 2>bad fires all the way back then.

0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Not that the Left will ever tell you that, of course.

0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Because it's all got to do with climate change, as

0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:29.480
<v Speaker 2>they want you to believe. Now, what's going on in

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:33.480
<v Speaker 2>the US, because the Biden administration has rushed to allocate

0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:37.040
<v Speaker 2>more than seventy billion US dollars of funding for climate

0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:41.760
<v Speaker 2>initiatives before Donald Trump's inauguration. The outgoing administration has been

0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:45.760
<v Speaker 2>accelerating its allocation of cash for climate change and clean

0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:50.720
<v Speaker 2>energy programs before the changing presidency. And I'm not sure

0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:53.200
<v Speaker 2>what the point of it is because Trump's already pledged

0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:56.480
<v Speaker 2>to terminate what he calls the green new scam. So

0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:59.600
<v Speaker 2>what exactly is Biden trying to achieve in his dying

0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:00.960
<v Speaker 2>day in the administration.

0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:05.000
<v Speaker 11>Well, the point is very cynical. He's trying to trip

0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:08.080
<v Speaker 11>up Trump to make his life more difficult. He knows

0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:11.320
<v Speaker 11>that it can be changed. But this is typically the

0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:15.040
<v Speaker 11>way the left operates. It's all negative. It's cynical. It's

0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:19.240
<v Speaker 11>not nation building, it's not helping people. The left traditionally

0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:22.120
<v Speaker 11>has been wanting to look after people who are at

0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:24.480
<v Speaker 11>the bottom end of the spectrum, and they're doing the

0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:30.240
<v Speaker 11>exact opposite. Now Biden is just making the transition very difficult,

0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:32.440
<v Speaker 11>despite the fact that he was going to have an

0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.680
<v Speaker 11>orderly transition. So I just think this shows the Democrats

0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:41.000
<v Speaker 11>are pretty morally defunct, that the Democrats really don't care

0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:43.040
<v Speaker 11>at all about how people suffer.

0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:48.080
<v Speaker 2>No, that's very very clear, and looking forward to that inauguration.

0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:49.080
<v Speaker 1>The sooner the better.

0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Meanwhile, the world's biggest climate finance alliance, which has actually

0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:57.080
<v Speaker 2>been backed by major asset managers, is suspending its activities

0:15:57.120 --> 0:16:00.600
<v Speaker 2>and reviewing its structure. The Net Zero Asset Manager Initiative

0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:04.840
<v Speaker 2>was founded to promote the adoption of greenhouse gas reduction efforts.

0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:06.200
<v Speaker 1>And what does this tell.

0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:10.720
<v Speaker 11>You, Well, it tells you that reality sometimes strikes. We

0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:15.840
<v Speaker 11>had that globally, that we are aware that we cannot

0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:20.760
<v Speaker 11>keep industrial societies running on sunbeams and on sea breezes.

0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:24.160
<v Speaker 11>It's costing too much money. We're aware that we once

0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:29.120
<v Speaker 11>had a very good system of cheap, reliable electricity that

0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:33.160
<v Speaker 11>derived from having energy concentration in things like coal or

0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:37.720
<v Speaker 11>energy concentration in nuclear materials. And all of a sudden,

0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:40.000
<v Speaker 11>people are saying, well, this is not going to work.

0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:43.880
<v Speaker 11>And also we've got a major president who is going

0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:47.200
<v Speaker 11>to be changing things in the US. Things have already

0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.640
<v Speaker 11>changed in many other parts of the world. It's going

0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:52.040
<v Speaker 11>to change in the US, and that will drive changes

0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:55.040
<v Speaker 11>in the world. If you're here in Saudi Arabia and

0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:57.800
<v Speaker 11>you talk about climate change. It's one of the best

0:16:57.880 --> 0:16:59.480
<v Speaker 11>jokes you can make people raw with.

0:16:59.600 --> 0:16:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Laugh.

0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.240
<v Speaker 11>Finally, reality is coming home.

0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I also wonder if it's that the Trump

0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:10.320
<v Speaker 2>effect almost having an impact already before he's even creating.

0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, definitely. Now this is a real laugh.

0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.879
<v Speaker 2>Chris Bowen has been exposed as the most dangerous minister

0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:21.480
<v Speaker 2>in Albanese's cabinet because it's been revealed that the Energy

0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:25.800
<v Speaker 2>Minister weaponize the public service by instructing his department to

0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:31.000
<v Speaker 2>produce entirely flawed figures to allege Peter Dutton's nuclear energy

0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:34.480
<v Speaker 2>plan would see a forty nine percent electricity shortfall by

0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:38.000
<v Speaker 2>twenty thirty five. The Department of Climate Change and Energy

0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:41.679
<v Speaker 2>now says what it did was not an analysis of

0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:47.240
<v Speaker 2>the coalition's nuclear energy proposals, but an assumption driven calculation.

0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:52.000
<v Speaker 2>So ian these figures, they were a dream, but still

0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.560
<v Speaker 2>pushed out to the public. How are we supposed to

0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.120
<v Speaker 2>have a proper debate about energy in this country when

0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Bowen is feeding us lies?

0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:03.240
<v Speaker 11>Well, I'm not surprised. I mean, he's probably the worst

0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:06.800
<v Speaker 11>cabinet minister in my voting lifetime, and I first voted

0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:10.800
<v Speaker 11>in nineteen sixty one. A very sad id logue. He

0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:15.320
<v Speaker 11>cannot understand that there were dozens of countries that stay

0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:18.800
<v Speaker 11>alive with nuclear there are dozens of countries that are

0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:23.040
<v Speaker 11>increasing their coal fired power capacity. And yet he wants

0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:26.520
<v Speaker 11>to stick to his ideology. He wants to cook the books,

0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:29.160
<v Speaker 11>He wants to force people to cook the books. And

0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:31.760
<v Speaker 11>he is the very best thing that the Liberals have

0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:34.480
<v Speaker 11>got in the Albert Easy government. He just has to

0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:37.640
<v Speaker 11>stay there, please, mister Bones, stay in that cabinet position,

0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:40.600
<v Speaker 11>Keep opening your mouth, keep giving us the benefit of

0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:43.120
<v Speaker 11>your wisdom, keep showing us that you've had a very

0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:47.520
<v Speaker 11>successful charisma bypass operation. Just keep doing it, please, because

0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:48.680
<v Speaker 11>you're helping the Liberals.

0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:49.320
<v Speaker 14>Yeah.

0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, I mean, as much as I want him not to.

0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:54.679
<v Speaker 2>Be in that portfolio and your spot on, it's probably

0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:57.399
<v Speaker 2>doing the coalition of favor. Now look before we let

0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:00.959
<v Speaker 2>you go. The warnings are continuing. The Victorian government's aggressive

0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:04.159
<v Speaker 2>electrification of the power network is likely to result in

0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:08.520
<v Speaker 2>mass blackouts, with demand forecast to outweigh renewable energy supply

0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:11.360
<v Speaker 2>by more than thirty percent in some months. That's according

0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:15.560
<v Speaker 2>to a report by leading academic professor Simon Schauser, who

0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:18.720
<v Speaker 2>runs a Queensland government owned energy business himself.

0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:22.480
<v Speaker 1>How many more warnings do we need? AAMO has said it.

0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:25.280
<v Speaker 2>We've got multiple reports saying the same thing. We're going

0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:29.480
<v Speaker 2>broken backward in this country on this renewables energy fantasy,

0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:29.879
<v Speaker 2>aren't we?

0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:34.120
<v Speaker 11>Well we are, And look back in time a little bit.

0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:39.200
<v Speaker 11>Victoria had the cheapest electricity in the world that came

0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:44.720
<v Speaker 11>from these huge brown coal deposits in eastern Victoria. Those

0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:49.480
<v Speaker 11>brown coal deposits can keep Victoria going for thousands of years.

0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:52.879
<v Speaker 11>There is so much coal there, it's such good quality.

0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:56.400
<v Speaker 11>And the infrastructure was set up in Victoria to make

0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:59.600
<v Speaker 11>it the powerhouse of Australia, to make it the manufacturing

0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:04.000
<v Speaker 11>center Australia, and it was now if Victoria loves power,

0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:07.679
<v Speaker 11>that also kills off South Australia because says the interconnect

0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:11.399
<v Speaker 11>to bringing power across from Victoria into South Australia. So

0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:14.160
<v Speaker 11>we now have a domino effect that is set up

0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:19.040
<v Speaker 11>by bureau cramps and by politicians who know nothing about electricity.

0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:23.399
<v Speaker 11>We haven't listened to our electrical engineers. And again reality

0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:26.400
<v Speaker 11>will strike and reality is going to be very very

0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:30.399
<v Speaker 11>cruel in Victoria.

0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:31.960
<v Speaker 2>If it isn't already. I completely agree. I employment nice

0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:33.720
<v Speaker 2>to speak with you. Thanks very much for joining me

0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:36.840
<v Speaker 2>on the show this evening were coming up after the break.

0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:39.600
<v Speaker 2>You won't want to miss Lefties Losing Its Plus Pete

0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Hegsett's Confirmation hearing gate crashed by left Heckler's.

0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:47.040
<v Speaker 1>Bartia Unger Sagan is here for the latest from the US.

0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:59.159
<v Speaker 2>Now it's time for Lefties Losing it and don't we

0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:01.639
<v Speaker 2>have a treat come up for you the lunacy at

0:21:01.680 --> 0:21:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Pete Hegsett's Confirmation Hearing. You won't want to miss the

0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:09.800
<v Speaker 2>incoherent meltdowns. But first of this lefty who is reinventing

0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:12.640
<v Speaker 2>the gender will claiming the sex of a baby on

0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:16.280
<v Speaker 2>an ultrasound can't possibly be right.

0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:20.399
<v Speaker 3>The parts you see on an ultrasound don't determine a

0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:23.520
<v Speaker 3>baby's gender, and how is that possible? Well, think about

0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:26.399
<v Speaker 3>it like this marker a blue cap usually means a

0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:30.080
<v Speaker 3>blue marker, but sometimes marker caps get switched and in

0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:33.240
<v Speaker 3>this case it is a pink marker. See that's what

0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:36.080
<v Speaker 3>happened to me. They saw something on the ultrasound that

0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:39.479
<v Speaker 3>usually means it's a boy, but the cap was cap

0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:41.480
<v Speaker 3>and I turned out to be a girl.

0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:44.359
<v Speaker 2>Oh, it's all very lucrative now using a crayola pains

0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:47.439
<v Speaker 2>to determine gender. Who's going to tell him that swapping

0:21:47.480 --> 0:21:50.000
<v Speaker 2>caps makes no difference to the parts you're born with.

0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:53.400
<v Speaker 1>But cute, try, very cute, very sweet.

0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Now to Donald Trump's impending inauguration can't come soon enough

0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:03.199
<v Speaker 2>and he's pick to perform the beautiful Carrie Underwood, and

0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:07.400
<v Speaker 2>the news has truly shattered and destroyed. There has been

0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:11.120
<v Speaker 2>hyaenas over at the view. In fact, it's yet another

0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:12.320
<v Speaker 2>hard knock for them.

0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't do it, even though I was no.

0:22:15.080 --> 0:22:17.879
<v Speaker 10>I would not. I would not normalize him. And she says,

0:22:17.920 --> 0:22:19.920
<v Speaker 10>I love our country. How do you love your country

0:22:19.920 --> 0:22:23.359
<v Speaker 10>and support and normalize somebody who was a convicted felon

0:22:23.560 --> 0:22:26.000
<v Speaker 10>who really wants to destroy the country. In my opinion,

0:22:26.280 --> 0:22:28.439
<v Speaker 10>I don't understand how you say you love your country

0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:31.480
<v Speaker 10>at the same time as you normalize this convicted felon,

0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:32.880
<v Speaker 10>which I can say now every.

0:22:32.720 --> 0:22:36.560
<v Speaker 4>Day have we heard from Suddy Austin yet a smiley,

0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:37.879
<v Speaker 4>true delight of a woman.

0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:40.760
<v Speaker 1>I agree with you, Joy. I can't sing a lick,

0:22:40.840 --> 0:22:43.560
<v Speaker 1>but I certain and I have not been asked, but

0:22:43.640 --> 0:22:45.600
<v Speaker 1>if I were asked, it would be a hard no.

0:22:46.119 --> 0:22:49.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, thank goodness, Thank goodness, we clarified that one.

0:22:49.880 --> 0:22:52.959
<v Speaker 1>We were losing sleep. We wanted to know the answer

0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:53.159
<v Speaker 1>to that.

0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:56.359
<v Speaker 2>And no doubt Sonny's announcement would come as to a

0:22:56.440 --> 0:22:58.480
<v Speaker 2>shock to Donald Trump himself.

0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:01.800
<v Speaker 1>And it's not just the you. This is the worst

0:23:01.880 --> 0:23:04.760
<v Speaker 1>day of the feminist Coults lives.

0:23:04.880 --> 0:23:10.080
<v Speaker 14>Carry Underwood is going to perform at Trump's inauguration.

0:23:19.240 --> 0:23:23.199
<v Speaker 2>Now to Gavin Newsom, the hapless and hopeless California governor

0:23:23.240 --> 0:23:26.040
<v Speaker 2>who is really living up to his name as a

0:23:26.040 --> 0:23:31.960
<v Speaker 2>slimy used car salesman, can someone please explain the shoulder shimmy.

0:23:32.400 --> 0:23:34.600
<v Speaker 15>We're dealing with a myriad of issues. I was just

0:23:34.600 --> 0:23:39.080
<v Speaker 15>talking to Josh Green, the governor of down in Hawaii.

0:23:39.119 --> 0:23:41.840
<v Speaker 15>You had some ideas around some land juice concerns. He

0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:45.399
<v Speaker 15>has run speculators coming in buying up properties.

0:23:45.640 --> 0:23:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Ah, how is that?

0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:50.399
<v Speaker 2>A little little smile, a little shimmy, a little dance, manicuit,

0:23:50.520 --> 0:23:54.159
<v Speaker 2>hair fresh botox, A real man of the people in

0:23:54.160 --> 0:23:55.800
<v Speaker 2>the middle of a fire zone, isn't he?

0:23:56.440 --> 0:24:00.520
<v Speaker 1>And here he is again showing just how personable he is.

0:24:01.119 --> 0:24:05.520
<v Speaker 15>My humble position and it's and it's not just being

0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:11.360
<v Speaker 15>naively optimistic that only reinforces the imperative moving quickly doing

0:24:11.440 --> 0:24:13.240
<v Speaker 15>in the spirit of collaboration cooperation.

0:24:13.560 --> 0:24:19.320
<v Speaker 2>He's over stimulated, perhaps taking California dreaming way too far.

0:24:20.119 --> 0:24:23.080
<v Speaker 2>And never mind Gavin Newsome's failures to prepare the state

0:24:23.119 --> 0:24:26.359
<v Speaker 2>for fires, because you can always trust Whoopee Goldberg to

0:24:26.440 --> 0:24:29.000
<v Speaker 2>give the best possible explanation.

0:24:29.280 --> 0:24:30.479
<v Speaker 1>Here's how this works.

0:24:31.480 --> 0:24:35.920
<v Speaker 16>There was a fire catastrophe in California.

0:24:36.280 --> 0:24:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Had to do it wins.

0:24:37.440 --> 0:24:39.680
<v Speaker 16>You know how they're always saying, oh, the wind.

0:24:39.720 --> 0:24:40.480
<v Speaker 1>It actually does.

0:24:40.520 --> 0:24:44.199
<v Speaker 16>The winds move things and sparks mooth things, and it

0:24:44.240 --> 0:24:47.600
<v Speaker 16>doesn't matter how much water you have if nine hundred

0:24:47.720 --> 0:24:51.000
<v Speaker 16>thousand buildings go up at the same time.

0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Wow, how was that?

0:24:53.000 --> 0:24:54.959
<v Speaker 2>It is good to know that Whoopee is such an

0:24:55.080 --> 0:25:00.560
<v Speaker 2>expert on wind. And speaking of looney explanations, I want to.

0:25:00.480 --> 0:25:02.320
<v Speaker 14>Take a minute to talk about looting because I think

0:25:02.320 --> 0:25:05.400
<v Speaker 14>it's worth considering why people would run into an active

0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:10.040
<v Speaker 14>fire to steal stuff rather than fleeing the fire. And

0:25:10.119 --> 0:25:12.000
<v Speaker 14>it seems like in the media coverage that I'm listening

0:25:12.000 --> 0:25:14.760
<v Speaker 14>to that people think that people are just like greedy

0:25:14.920 --> 0:25:17.520
<v Speaker 14>who want to be looting, And I'm just wondering if

0:25:17.600 --> 0:25:21.639
<v Speaker 14>maybe these people have actually considered whether it is safer

0:25:21.640 --> 0:25:24.920
<v Speaker 14>for them to run into a fire or to continue

0:25:24.960 --> 0:25:28.800
<v Speaker 14>to exist within capitalism without access to resources, And after

0:25:28.840 --> 0:25:31.159
<v Speaker 14>weighing the pros and cons they concluded that the safer

0:25:31.320 --> 0:25:33.560
<v Speaker 14>option is to run into the fire to steal stuff.

0:25:33.920 --> 0:25:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, that absolutely makes title sense.

0:25:38.520 --> 0:25:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Title sense, doesn't it?

0:25:40.320 --> 0:25:44.320
<v Speaker 2>Now to paint Hegseth being hounded by bitter banshees at

0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:48.000
<v Speaker 2>a Senate committee, And I've got to say this basically

0:25:48.040 --> 0:25:48.760
<v Speaker 2>just sums it up.

0:25:53.119 --> 0:26:02.719
<v Speaker 1>Organization says it old, isn't it.

0:26:02.720 --> 0:26:04.960
<v Speaker 2>But you know, look, it wouldn't be a lefties losing

0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:06.240
<v Speaker 2>it without actually taking you.

0:26:06.240 --> 0:26:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Through the lefties losing it.

0:26:08.080 --> 0:26:12.959
<v Speaker 2>So let's start with Elizabeth Warren, the delightful Elizabeth Warren,

0:26:13.160 --> 0:26:14.520
<v Speaker 2>banging and carrying on.

0:26:15.280 --> 0:26:20.880
<v Speaker 8>In other words, you're quite sure that every general who

0:26:21.119 --> 0:26:24.879
<v Speaker 8>serves should not go directly into the defense industry for

0:26:24.920 --> 0:26:28.000
<v Speaker 8>ten years. You're not willing to make that same pledge.

0:26:29.040 --> 0:26:30.560
<v Speaker 7>I'm not a general, Senator.

0:26:32.760 --> 0:26:36.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh, the gotcha didn't quite work there, and the yelling

0:26:36.640 --> 0:26:39.320
<v Speaker 2>theatrical sideshow didn't end there.

0:26:39.520 --> 0:26:42.639
<v Speaker 9>In the DoD Everything you've said in these public statements

0:26:42.720 --> 0:26:45.320
<v Speaker 9>is politics. I don't want women, I don't want moms.

0:26:45.359 --> 0:26:46.320
<v Speaker 1>What's wrong with a mom?

0:26:46.400 --> 0:26:48.640
<v Speaker 9>By the way, once you have babies, you therefore are

0:26:48.680 --> 0:26:51.200
<v Speaker 9>no longer able to be lethal. I mean, you're basically

0:26:51.240 --> 0:26:54.040
<v Speaker 9>saying women after they have children can't ever serve in

0:26:54.080 --> 0:26:56.880
<v Speaker 9>the military in a combat role. It's a silly thing

0:26:56.920 --> 0:27:00.000
<v Speaker 9>to say. It's a silly thing to say beneath the position,

0:27:00.040 --> 0:27:03.960
<v Speaker 9>and that you are aspiring to to denigrate LGBTQ service

0:27:04.000 --> 0:27:07.760
<v Speaker 9>members is a mistake. If you are a sharpshooter, you're

0:27:07.760 --> 0:27:10.920
<v Speaker 9>as lethal regardless of what your gender identity is, regardless

0:27:10.960 --> 0:27:11.600
<v Speaker 9>of who you love.

0:27:12.359 --> 0:27:13.840
<v Speaker 1>It just doesn't. It doesn't in there.

0:27:13.920 --> 0:27:16.679
<v Speaker 2>It didn't in there because Q what appeared to be

0:27:16.800 --> 0:27:21.440
<v Speaker 2>a drunk and incoherent Maizie Herno from Hawaii.

0:27:21.400 --> 0:27:27.159
<v Speaker 17>Would you use our military to take over Greenland or

0:27:28.560 --> 0:27:31.200
<v Speaker 17>an ally of Denmark?

0:27:32.160 --> 0:27:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Senator?

0:27:32.520 --> 0:27:34.160
<v Speaker 7>One of the things that President Trump is so good

0:27:34.160 --> 0:27:36.919
<v Speaker 7>at is never strategically tipping his hand, and so I

0:27:36.920 --> 0:27:39.720
<v Speaker 7>would never in this public forum give one way or

0:27:39.720 --> 0:27:43.160
<v Speaker 7>another to direct what orders the president in any context.

0:27:43.160 --> 0:27:45.840
<v Speaker 17>That sounds to me that you would contemplate carrying out

0:27:45.880 --> 0:27:49.840
<v Speaker 17>such an order to basically invade Greenland and take over

0:27:49.880 --> 0:27:50.800
<v Speaker 17>the Panama Canal.

0:27:51.200 --> 0:27:53.280
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I really brought the big ones out from Hawaii

0:27:53.320 --> 0:27:56.520
<v Speaker 2>for this one, didn't I? And then the Democrats tragic

0:27:56.560 --> 0:27:59.879
<v Speaker 2>attempt at a gotcha moment backfired yet again.

0:28:00.359 --> 0:28:03.640
<v Speaker 7>Can you give me an experience or your actual experience

0:28:03.680 --> 0:28:06.000
<v Speaker 7>of driving innovation in an organization.

0:28:06.320 --> 0:28:08.000
<v Speaker 17>Give me an example of where you have done.

0:28:08.080 --> 0:28:10.760
<v Speaker 7>My Goodness Center absolutely a Concerned Veterans for America. We

0:28:10.840 --> 0:28:14.240
<v Speaker 7>created the Fixing Healthcare Veterans Healthcare task Force, a bipartisan

0:28:14.240 --> 0:28:17.040
<v Speaker 7>task force that never been done before, to create policy,

0:28:17.080 --> 0:28:21.000
<v Speaker 7>to drive policy change on Capitol Hill that organizations fought

0:28:21.040 --> 0:28:24.439
<v Speaker 7>ferociously against. Where we got the Via Accountability Act passed

0:28:24.520 --> 0:28:26.800
<v Speaker 7>and the Mission Act passed in a way that a

0:28:26.840 --> 0:28:29.280
<v Speaker 7>nonprofit of our size, veterans.

0:28:29.080 --> 0:28:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Organization, we appreciate it. Never done.

0:28:30.960 --> 0:28:33.040
<v Speaker 7>You're testified in all the letters we've put forward to

0:28:33.040 --> 0:28:35.360
<v Speaker 7>the committee which you're on the Okay, I have limited time.

0:28:35.920 --> 0:28:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Joining me now with plenty more lefties losing it content

0:28:39.120 --> 0:28:44.040
<v Speaker 2>is Newsweek Deputy Opinion editor Bartia Unga Sagan Bartia, thank

0:28:44.040 --> 0:28:46.560
<v Speaker 2>you so much for joining me. Let's start with that

0:28:46.800 --> 0:28:50.960
<v Speaker 2>brilliant performance by Pete Hegseeth at the Senate confirmation hearing.

0:28:51.400 --> 0:28:54.240
<v Speaker 2>Not only did he have to battle with a lunatic

0:28:54.360 --> 0:28:55.480
<v Speaker 2>congressmen and women.

0:28:55.840 --> 0:28:59.320
<v Speaker 1>The hearing was interrupted multiple times by protesters.

0:28:59.320 --> 0:29:02.080
<v Speaker 7>Have a look at the thank you for figuratively and

0:29:02.200 --> 0:29:04.120
<v Speaker 7>literally having my back.

0:29:04.240 --> 0:29:08.160
<v Speaker 5>You are Amus, not only that you are a.

0:29:08.760 --> 0:29:20.240
<v Speaker 18>Prety and readiness.

0:29:24.840 --> 0:29:29.560
<v Speaker 12>We stud money to find children, and shame on all you.

0:29:30.120 --> 0:29:32.480
<v Speaker 12>We need money. We need money for.

0:29:36.720 --> 0:29:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Only children.

0:29:39.840 --> 0:29:41.280
<v Speaker 11>That's a recruiting process.

0:29:42.080 --> 0:29:45.480
<v Speaker 2>Bart Yea considering this complete clown show. Peter haig Seth

0:29:45.600 --> 0:29:49.080
<v Speaker 2>absolutely owned that hearing. Why do the left love this

0:29:49.360 --> 0:29:52.200
<v Speaker 2>performative and theatrical chaos so much?

0:29:53.680 --> 0:29:54.680
<v Speaker 1>It's so funny.

0:29:55.160 --> 0:29:57.720
<v Speaker 12>You know, all of these people who are angry about

0:29:57.760 --> 0:30:00.480
<v Speaker 12>a policy that he would have no power over or

0:30:00.520 --> 0:30:03.680
<v Speaker 12>control over if he was confirmed as head of DoD

0:30:04.280 --> 0:30:08.240
<v Speaker 12>just completely irrelevant. And you're so right about the performativity

0:30:08.280 --> 0:30:10.640
<v Speaker 12>of it. I believe many of those protesters were from

0:30:10.760 --> 0:30:13.240
<v Speaker 12>Code Pink, which just shows up and says the same

0:30:13.320 --> 0:30:16.680
<v Speaker 12>stuff over and over, irregardless of you know what the

0:30:16.720 --> 0:30:20.160
<v Speaker 12>event is. He really handled himself very well. I thought

0:30:20.160 --> 0:30:27.000
<v Speaker 12>he was very respectful, including to the Democratic senators, some

0:30:27.120 --> 0:30:30.520
<v Speaker 12>of whom were very aggressive in their questioning of him.

0:30:31.000 --> 0:30:33.760
<v Speaker 12>I do think there was one missed opportunity, which is

0:30:33.840 --> 0:30:37.280
<v Speaker 12>Elizabeth Warren brought up that he has said, I think

0:30:37.360 --> 0:30:40.680
<v Speaker 12>quite rightly that generals should not be allowed to take

0:30:40.880 --> 0:30:43.840
<v Speaker 12>positions in the private sector in the defense industry for

0:30:43.920 --> 0:30:47.120
<v Speaker 12>ten years after they resign, and she asked him, well,

0:30:47.120 --> 0:30:49.960
<v Speaker 12>would you hold yourself to that same standard, and his

0:30:50.040 --> 0:30:52.760
<v Speaker 12>answer was well, I'm not a general, which many people

0:30:53.040 --> 0:30:55.959
<v Speaker 12>laughed at. But honestly, that was a moment I thought

0:30:56.000 --> 0:30:59.440
<v Speaker 12>for a little bit of populist bipartisanship, why not say,

0:30:59.440 --> 0:31:02.440
<v Speaker 12>of course, as head of DoD, I would be in

0:31:02.480 --> 0:31:04.560
<v Speaker 12>a position to be corrupted if I didn't make that

0:31:04.600 --> 0:31:06.840
<v Speaker 12>scene promise. I wish he had done that, But aside

0:31:06.840 --> 0:31:10.120
<v Speaker 12>from that, I thought his performance was really impeccable. Of Course,

0:31:10.120 --> 0:31:12.479
<v Speaker 12>his wife was sitting there supporting him, and he really

0:31:12.520 --> 0:31:14.080
<v Speaker 12>acquitted himself with a lot of dignity.

0:31:14.880 --> 0:31:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I completely agree.

0:31:15.880 --> 0:31:19.320
<v Speaker 2>He was being hounded by these senators and every answer.

0:31:19.040 --> 0:31:21.920
<v Speaker 1>He gave was so poised. While they were.

0:31:22.080 --> 0:31:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Banging on the tables, they were carrying on, so I

0:31:24.440 --> 0:31:28.240
<v Speaker 2>actually think he did exceptionally well under the circumstances. Now,

0:31:28.440 --> 0:31:32.560
<v Speaker 2>Bartia one Earth is happening with the leadership team at

0:31:32.560 --> 0:31:36.320
<v Speaker 2>the City of Los Angeles. First, of course, Mayor Karen

0:31:36.400 --> 0:31:40.760
<v Speaker 2>Bass delivered this rather bizarre and uncomfortable performance when she

0:31:40.880 --> 0:31:43.200
<v Speaker 2>was asked why she trotted off to Ghana in the

0:31:43.200 --> 0:31:44.800
<v Speaker 2>middle of the bushfire crisis.

0:31:45.200 --> 0:31:47.880
<v Speaker 19>Do you, oh citizen's an apology for being absent while

0:31:47.920 --> 0:31:51.520
<v Speaker 19>their homes were burning? Do you regret coming the fire

0:31:51.560 --> 0:31:53.479
<v Speaker 19>department budget by millions of dollars?

0:31:53.480 --> 0:31:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Madam?

0:31:53.800 --> 0:32:00.240
<v Speaker 19>There have you nothing to say today that have you

0:32:00.320 --> 0:32:05.040
<v Speaker 19>absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today? Elon Musk

0:32:05.120 --> 0:32:08.360
<v Speaker 19>says that you're utterly incompetent. Are you considering your position,

0:32:12.160 --> 0:32:14.240
<v Speaker 19>Madam Mayor have you absolutely nothing to say to the

0:32:14.240 --> 0:32:16.800
<v Speaker 19>citizens today who are dealing with this disaster?

0:32:21.560 --> 0:32:24.840
<v Speaker 2>And now we find out that her deputy Mayor, Brian Williams,

0:32:24.920 --> 0:32:28.520
<v Speaker 2>was reportedly placed on administrative leave last month after the

0:32:28.560 --> 0:32:32.400
<v Speaker 2>FBI raided his home in connection to an alleged bomb

0:32:32.480 --> 0:32:34.400
<v Speaker 2>threat he made against city Hall.

0:32:34.560 --> 0:32:37.720
<v Speaker 1>But here this guy was overseeing the La fire department.

0:32:38.080 --> 0:32:41.720
<v Speaker 2>How on earth are these people running the city.

0:32:42.040 --> 0:32:45.240
<v Speaker 12>You know what's so amazing to me is that the

0:32:45.320 --> 0:32:50.560
<v Speaker 12>rank and file firefighters have been able to perform an

0:32:50.640 --> 0:32:57.240
<v Speaker 12>almost inhuman level of competence, saving hundreds and thousands of

0:32:57.280 --> 0:33:01.600
<v Speaker 12>people's lives at a time when this insane act of

0:33:01.640 --> 0:33:05.360
<v Speaker 12>God has burned so much of Los Angeles, and yet

0:33:05.640 --> 0:33:09.280
<v Speaker 12>the leadership is so utterly incompetent. And I think it's

0:33:09.320 --> 0:33:12.239
<v Speaker 12>not just on this front, right, California has become a

0:33:12.520 --> 0:33:19.160
<v Speaker 12>symbol of the broken contract between democratic leadership and the

0:33:19.280 --> 0:33:22.640
<v Speaker 12>voters and the citizens who on a host of issues,

0:33:22.680 --> 0:33:26.760
<v Speaker 12>whether it's homelessness or crime or just a functioning city,

0:33:27.080 --> 0:33:29.600
<v Speaker 12>they look to their leaders and they just see these

0:33:29.680 --> 0:33:33.760
<v Speaker 12>empty suits like Karen Bass or you know, just it's

0:33:34.080 --> 0:33:37.160
<v Speaker 12>what is Gavin Newsom but a good haircut on top

0:33:37.200 --> 0:33:40.360
<v Speaker 12>of a suit, right, I mean, there's just nothing happening there.

0:33:40.400 --> 0:33:42.640
<v Speaker 12>And I really think that, you know, it is both

0:33:42.720 --> 0:33:46.400
<v Speaker 12>the case that anybody would have struggled with a disaster

0:33:46.520 --> 0:33:50.240
<v Speaker 12>of this magnitude and the case that these two have

0:33:50.440 --> 0:33:54.440
<v Speaker 12>come to represent in these moments, just the absolute absence

0:33:54.880 --> 0:33:59.120
<v Speaker 12>of democratic leadership, especially in a place like California.

0:33:59.200 --> 0:34:02.720
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely look for leadership during these times of crisis, and

0:34:03.120 --> 0:34:05.360
<v Speaker 2>my heart goes out to them because there simply is

0:34:05.440 --> 0:34:08.720
<v Speaker 2>no leadership right now. And speaken of, dozens of looters

0:34:08.719 --> 0:34:13.400
<v Speaker 2>have been caught sneaking into ritzy neighborhoods in LA following

0:34:13.760 --> 0:34:17.040
<v Speaker 2>those wildfires. More than forty people have since been named

0:34:17.040 --> 0:34:19.760
<v Speaker 2>and shamed by the Santa Monica Police Department.

0:34:20.120 --> 0:34:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Buttia, how big of an issue is this now?

0:34:23.560 --> 0:34:26.560
<v Speaker 12>Oh gosh, what a horrible, horrible thing to see in

0:34:26.640 --> 0:34:29.160
<v Speaker 12>a moment that should be unifying, and I think really

0:34:29.239 --> 0:34:32.399
<v Speaker 12>has been unifying, because, of course, it looks to us

0:34:32.440 --> 0:34:35.120
<v Speaker 12>that this was a tragedy that struck the very rich,

0:34:35.200 --> 0:34:37.360
<v Speaker 12>because so many movie stars have lost their homes, but

0:34:37.400 --> 0:34:39.160
<v Speaker 12>there were a lot of working class and middle class

0:34:39.200 --> 0:34:43.040
<v Speaker 12>neighborhoods that were also hit very, very hard, and there's

0:34:43.080 --> 0:34:45.560
<v Speaker 12>been a lot of unity in coming together and people

0:34:45.600 --> 0:34:48.120
<v Speaker 12>demanding better on behalf of each other. And they're fellow

0:34:48.160 --> 0:34:51.839
<v Speaker 12>Americans and fellow Californians. And then to see something like this,

0:34:52.160 --> 0:34:54.400
<v Speaker 12>Isn't it just so heartbreaking that there are people who

0:34:54.400 --> 0:34:58.600
<v Speaker 12>would take advantage of us in the weakest, most vulnerable moments.

0:35:00.120 --> 0:35:03.279
<v Speaker 2>No, it's just absolutely awful, awful to hear that this

0:35:03.360 --> 0:35:06.640
<v Speaker 2>is happening. Now, let's move on. Now we've got to

0:35:06.680 --> 0:35:10.840
<v Speaker 2>talk about MSNBC. It really seems as though it keeps

0:35:10.880 --> 0:35:12.839
<v Speaker 2>going downhill for that.

0:35:12.880 --> 0:35:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Liberal lunatic network.

0:35:14.440 --> 0:35:17.120
<v Speaker 2>And of course it's all happening a days before Donald

0:35:17.160 --> 0:35:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Trump returns to the White House. But now it's President

0:35:20.920 --> 0:35:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Rashida Jones has announced that she is stepping down after.

0:35:24.440 --> 0:35:26.799
<v Speaker 1>Four years in the role Bartia.

0:35:27.080 --> 0:35:31.719
<v Speaker 2>Between the failing, the dismal ratings, the crazy hosts who

0:35:31.760 --> 0:35:36.720
<v Speaker 2>are so desperate a restructure, and now they've lost their boss,

0:35:37.120 --> 0:35:39.720
<v Speaker 2>the question has to be asked, what does the future

0:35:39.760 --> 0:35:41.240
<v Speaker 2>hold for MSNBC.

0:35:43.040 --> 0:35:46.319
<v Speaker 12>I have to tell you AMSNBC, you know, getting rid

0:35:46.400 --> 0:35:50.279
<v Speaker 12>of its boss, Mark Zuckerberg, you know, out there with

0:35:50.360 --> 0:35:53.239
<v Speaker 12>the mayor Kolpers. It really makes me sick to my

0:35:53.320 --> 0:35:56.960
<v Speaker 12>stomach because they are out there pretending like they did

0:35:57.000 --> 0:36:02.360
<v Speaker 12>not intentionally try to turn half of the country against

0:36:02.360 --> 0:36:07.319
<v Speaker 12>the other half just because they failed. Now suddenly they're saying,

0:36:07.360 --> 0:36:09.759
<v Speaker 12>we're going to turn over a new leaf. We're going

0:36:09.800 --> 0:36:13.760
<v Speaker 12>to do the right thing. They are just following the vibes.

0:36:13.800 --> 0:36:17.319
<v Speaker 12>They are just following the winds and bowing to pressure again.

0:36:17.360 --> 0:36:21.000
<v Speaker 12>Now it happens to be pressure to the people who

0:36:21.040 --> 0:36:24.400
<v Speaker 12>have always wanted what's best for this country, bowing to

0:36:24.440 --> 0:36:27.360
<v Speaker 12>pressure to people who want to unify the country. But

0:36:27.760 --> 0:36:31.440
<v Speaker 12>don't for a second believe that these people have anything

0:36:31.480 --> 0:36:34.640
<v Speaker 12>but a profit motive at stake here. They're not doing

0:36:34.680 --> 0:36:37.760
<v Speaker 12>this because they've had to come to Jesus moment. Whatever

0:36:37.840 --> 0:36:41.000
<v Speaker 12>they say, they're doing this because the country has turned

0:36:41.080 --> 0:36:45.680
<v Speaker 12>against the divisiveness of progressive politics, and so they're now

0:36:45.719 --> 0:36:48.840
<v Speaker 12>trying to ride the wave. And what is that wave.

0:36:48.960 --> 0:36:52.560
<v Speaker 12>It's the unity that President Trump has brought with him

0:36:52.600 --> 0:36:56.319
<v Speaker 12>by unifying the working class in this country. And on

0:36:56.360 --> 0:36:58.960
<v Speaker 12>the one end, yeah, it's great that they're going to

0:36:59.040 --> 0:37:02.520
<v Speaker 12>stop calling everybody recess and stop calling everybody names and

0:37:02.560 --> 0:37:06.240
<v Speaker 12>stop trying to demonize people as Nazis and as Hitler.

0:37:06.520 --> 0:37:09.239
<v Speaker 12>But on the other hand, it's going to be a

0:37:09.440 --> 0:37:13.360
<v Speaker 12>long road to build back the trust that they squandered

0:37:13.840 --> 0:37:16.640
<v Speaker 12>when they really tried to turn Americans against each other.

0:37:17.680 --> 0:37:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, and while they persist with these crazy hosts like

0:37:21.080 --> 0:37:25.040
<v Speaker 2>the Joyless Joy read realistically that there is no hope

0:37:25.080 --> 0:37:30.440
<v Speaker 2>for MSNBC, seriously, that they're just a joke of a network. Now, Bartia,

0:37:30.680 --> 0:37:34.880
<v Speaker 2>the leftist DC mayor, has distanced herself from an anti

0:37:35.040 --> 0:37:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Trump ad displaying the city's official logos keep DC Trash Free.

0:37:40.719 --> 0:37:42.680
<v Speaker 1>As you can see, this ad reads.

0:37:42.520 --> 0:37:46.040
<v Speaker 2>Featuring a MAGA hat wearing man holding a copy of

0:37:46.040 --> 0:37:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Project twenty twenty five with a red line through his head,

0:37:49.880 --> 0:37:52.920
<v Speaker 2>and the logos for the district of Columbia Department of

0:37:53.000 --> 0:37:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Public Works and the Mayor's Office of the City Clean Program. Now,

0:37:58.040 --> 0:38:00.960
<v Speaker 2>the Mayor's office has since claimed that they had no

0:38:01.160 --> 0:38:04.000
<v Speaker 2>part in creating or authorizing this ad.

0:38:04.000 --> 0:38:06.279
<v Speaker 1>But Bartia, it's quite.

0:38:06.000 --> 0:38:09.719
<v Speaker 2>Incredible that something like this could have ever been produced in.

0:38:09.640 --> 0:38:10.600
<v Speaker 1>The first place.

0:38:10.680 --> 0:38:13.760
<v Speaker 2>It says plenty about what sort of a place DC

0:38:13.960 --> 0:38:14.560
<v Speaker 2>has become.

0:38:15.880 --> 0:38:19.239
<v Speaker 12>Oh absolutely, And if this had happened four years ago

0:38:19.360 --> 0:38:21.759
<v Speaker 12>or eight years ago, she probably would have been taking

0:38:21.800 --> 0:38:22.360
<v Speaker 12>credit for it.

0:38:22.440 --> 0:38:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Right. This is how you see.

0:38:24.320 --> 0:38:26.480
<v Speaker 12>That we're really in a new moment, and I'm so

0:38:26.600 --> 0:38:27.560
<v Speaker 12>grateful for it.

0:38:27.920 --> 0:38:29.359
<v Speaker 1>You do see people.

0:38:29.080 --> 0:38:32.120
<v Speaker 12>On the left trying to distance themselves from just the

0:38:32.239 --> 0:38:36.960
<v Speaker 12>absolutely toxic rhetoric around Donald Trump over the last decade.

0:38:37.360 --> 0:38:40.319
<v Speaker 12>I think they've been really chastened by their voters. And

0:38:40.360 --> 0:38:43.359
<v Speaker 12>there are people who want to say, Okay, how can

0:38:43.400 --> 0:38:45.359
<v Speaker 12>we make our way back to the center, how can

0:38:45.400 --> 0:38:49.080
<v Speaker 12>we once again represent working class voters? Whether they want

0:38:49.120 --> 0:38:51.399
<v Speaker 12>to hear the answer to that question is a very

0:38:51.400 --> 0:38:52.160
<v Speaker 12>different story.

0:38:53.080 --> 0:38:55.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it is a very different story. But Jay, it

0:38:55.680 --> 0:38:57.680
<v Speaker 2>just speaks volumes, doesn't it.

0:38:57.880 --> 0:38:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:38:58.080 --> 0:39:02.040
<v Speaker 2>Look, you mentioned the inauguration. We're already days away from it.

0:39:02.040 --> 0:39:05.440
<v Speaker 2>It couldn't come soon enough, finally we're at that pointy end.

0:39:05.960 --> 0:39:07.880
<v Speaker 2>But I'm going to ask you about these reports that

0:39:07.960 --> 0:39:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg will all be

0:39:11.880 --> 0:39:15.560
<v Speaker 2>in attendance with a prominent spot at that ceremony. Bartie,

0:39:15.640 --> 0:39:19.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, these tech CEOs, they've always really been rivals,

0:39:19.360 --> 0:39:22.239
<v Speaker 2>but now they're all on the same side in a way.

0:39:22.320 --> 0:39:23.960
<v Speaker 1>What does that suggest in your view?

0:39:25.239 --> 0:39:27.080
<v Speaker 12>All right, I may be reading too much into this,

0:39:27.239 --> 0:39:29.640
<v Speaker 12>but to me, this actually looks like a little bit

0:39:29.640 --> 0:39:32.360
<v Speaker 12>of a downgrading of Elon Musk, who has of course

0:39:32.440 --> 0:39:35.239
<v Speaker 12>been Donald Trump's, you know, number two since he won

0:39:35.280 --> 0:39:37.600
<v Speaker 12>the election. He's in every photo, He's next to him

0:39:37.600 --> 0:39:38.920
<v Speaker 12>at Maro Lago all the time.

0:39:39.239 --> 0:39:39.680
<v Speaker 1>But at the.

0:39:39.600 --> 0:39:43.040
<v Speaker 12>Inauguration he's going to be seated along with every other

0:39:43.200 --> 0:39:47.560
<v Speaker 12>tech titan who paid a million dollars toward Trump's transition team.

0:39:47.880 --> 0:39:51.240
<v Speaker 12>And I have to say I feel relieved to see that, because,

0:39:51.280 --> 0:39:53.400
<v Speaker 12>of course you have all of these people now bending

0:39:53.440 --> 0:39:57.040
<v Speaker 12>thenee to Trump, trying to ingratiate themselves, people like Jeff

0:39:57.040 --> 0:39:59.799
<v Speaker 12>Bezos and Zuckerberg who were so anti Trump for so

0:40:00.800 --> 0:40:03.440
<v Speaker 12>but I am glad to see Elon Musk put back

0:40:03.480 --> 0:40:05.960
<v Speaker 12>in his place. That is where he belongs. You know,

0:40:06.040 --> 0:40:08.880
<v Speaker 12>he has a very close relationship with China, like everybody

0:40:08.880 --> 0:40:12.920
<v Speaker 12>in Silicon Valley, is constantly bending the knee to China

0:40:12.960 --> 0:40:15.439
<v Speaker 12>and to China's demands, And so I feel a little

0:40:15.480 --> 0:40:17.600
<v Speaker 12>bit relieved to see him put back in the company

0:40:17.840 --> 0:40:20.480
<v Speaker 12>of those others, so that Donald Trump can make good

0:40:20.480 --> 0:40:23.160
<v Speaker 12>on his promises to the American people in his real

0:40:23.360 --> 0:40:26.919
<v Speaker 12>America first push on issues like immigration, which of course

0:40:26.960 --> 0:40:29.520
<v Speaker 12>the Maga Movement and Elon Musk have been at loggerheads over,

0:40:29.719 --> 0:40:32.000
<v Speaker 12>and also punishing China for all of the ways in

0:40:32.040 --> 0:40:34.520
<v Speaker 12>which it continues to be our greatest adversary.

0:40:35.400 --> 0:40:38.000
<v Speaker 2>That's a really good point. It's certainly putting them back

0:40:38.040 --> 0:40:40.319
<v Speaker 2>in their place, that's for sure. Now, look, let's talk

0:40:40.320 --> 0:40:43.840
<v Speaker 2>about TikTok, because there have been reports that Chinese officials

0:40:43.880 --> 0:40:47.400
<v Speaker 2>were in preliminary talks about a potential option to sell

0:40:47.480 --> 0:40:52.200
<v Speaker 2>TikTok's operations in the US too Elon Musk should the

0:40:52.400 --> 0:40:54.479
<v Speaker 2>app be unable to avoid an.

0:40:54.400 --> 0:40:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Impending ban over there. TikTok has since dismissed that. Bartia,

0:40:58.680 --> 0:41:00.000
<v Speaker 1>what do you think could happen here?

0:41:00.320 --> 0:41:03.279
<v Speaker 2>It's very interesting to me because there are over one

0:41:03.360 --> 0:41:07.600
<v Speaker 2>hundred and seventy million users in the US alone, many

0:41:07.640 --> 0:41:11.480
<v Speaker 2>of whom who have built platforms and businesses. They're making

0:41:11.560 --> 0:41:12.799
<v Speaker 2>money now from this app.

0:41:12.920 --> 0:41:13.960
<v Speaker 1>It's so popular.

0:41:14.440 --> 0:41:16.920
<v Speaker 2>If Alon Musk doesn't step in and buy it, is.

0:41:16.880 --> 0:41:18.800
<v Speaker 1>It really the end in the US?

0:41:20.160 --> 0:41:23.160
<v Speaker 12>I think it might be. The Chinese have indicated that

0:41:23.200 --> 0:41:26.160
<v Speaker 12>they would rather completely delete the app than sell it.

0:41:26.880 --> 0:41:29.319
<v Speaker 12>I think it's very interesting if it does go to

0:41:29.360 --> 0:41:32.560
<v Speaker 12>Elon Musk. What that says again about his relationship with China,

0:41:32.640 --> 0:41:35.120
<v Speaker 12>because they would rather delete the app than allow an

0:41:35.160 --> 0:41:38.279
<v Speaker 12>American to buy it. Except Elon Musk, right, which tells

0:41:38.320 --> 0:41:41.120
<v Speaker 12>you a lot about that relationship with the CCP. But okay,

0:41:41.200 --> 0:41:43.319
<v Speaker 12>they're denying it for now. They're not known for telling

0:41:43.360 --> 0:41:45.920
<v Speaker 12>the truth. I do think that it could happen that

0:41:46.080 --> 0:41:49.600
<v Speaker 12>TikTok will simply disappear from our phones. It presents a

0:41:49.800 --> 0:41:55.000
<v Speaker 12>major national security risk. The Chinese are constantly constantly stealing

0:41:55.080 --> 0:41:55.600
<v Speaker 12>data off.

0:41:55.480 --> 0:41:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Of people's phones.

0:41:56.560 --> 0:41:59.160
<v Speaker 12>It's also very unhealthy for children. We know that there

0:41:59.160 --> 0:42:02.720
<v Speaker 12>are kids who committed suicide because the algorithm on TikTok

0:42:02.800 --> 0:42:05.920
<v Speaker 12>led them down that dark road. And most importantly, the

0:42:06.040 --> 0:42:08.520
<v Speaker 12>Chinese don't allow their own children to use this, which

0:42:08.560 --> 0:42:11.800
<v Speaker 12>tells you a lot about how they think it impacts children.

0:42:11.840 --> 0:42:14.799
<v Speaker 12>They have their own Chinese version, which is incredibly educational

0:42:14.840 --> 0:42:17.120
<v Speaker 12>and very boring. Apparently it's impossible to stay on it

0:42:17.239 --> 0:42:19.160
<v Speaker 12>for more than twenty minutes without getting born out of

0:42:19.160 --> 0:42:21.200
<v Speaker 12>your mind and shutting out of it. So I think

0:42:21.239 --> 0:42:24.040
<v Speaker 12>it could either sell it to an American or get

0:42:24.160 --> 0:42:26.200
<v Speaker 12>rid of it. Selling it to Elon Musk is like

0:42:26.280 --> 0:42:29.600
<v Speaker 12>allowing the Chinese to keep operating it in my opinion.

0:42:30.040 --> 0:42:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, look, fair enough. I'll be very curious.

0:42:32.040 --> 0:42:34.120
<v Speaker 2>I know there's a lot of TikTok uses over the

0:42:34.200 --> 0:42:37.520
<v Speaker 2>US who are crying over this decision, but yeah, it

0:42:37.640 --> 0:42:39.120
<v Speaker 2>remains to be seen, doesn't it.

0:42:39.440 --> 0:42:40.799
<v Speaker 1>Now? Before we let you go.

0:42:41.000 --> 0:42:45.000
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of conversation surrounding a ceasefire deal between

0:42:45.160 --> 0:42:47.200
<v Speaker 2>Israel and Hamas Bartiya.

0:42:47.360 --> 0:42:49.880
<v Speaker 1>How would something like this benefit to Israel?

0:42:52.080 --> 0:42:55.680
<v Speaker 12>So Israelis are very divided on this because they feel

0:42:55.680 --> 0:42:58.600
<v Speaker 12>that the deal is it's very complicated. On the one hand,

0:42:58.600 --> 0:43:00.759
<v Speaker 12>they're going to get back thirty three highsages, not all

0:43:00.760 --> 0:43:02.719
<v Speaker 12>of them are alive, but they will get back a

0:43:02.760 --> 0:43:05.960
<v Speaker 12>lot of all of the remaining women, including the women's

0:43:05.960 --> 0:43:10.480
<v Speaker 12>soldiers who were horrifically horrifically captured by HEMS. So this

0:43:10.560 --> 0:43:12.440
<v Speaker 12>is obviously a huge win. On the other hand, they

0:43:12.480 --> 0:43:15.399
<v Speaker 12>feel that they will not be allowed to continue prosecuting

0:43:15.440 --> 0:43:18.680
<v Speaker 12>the war to the full, fullest extent. I think this

0:43:18.719 --> 0:43:22.040
<v Speaker 12>is a great deal. I think Donald Trump knew exactly

0:43:22.120 --> 0:43:24.120
<v Speaker 12>what he was doing when he puts Steve Witkoff in

0:43:24.239 --> 0:43:27.120
<v Speaker 12>charge of this, Steve Whitcoff, who showed up and said

0:43:27.160 --> 0:43:29.600
<v Speaker 12>to b B Natanyao, We're going to do this President

0:43:29.640 --> 0:43:32.279
<v Speaker 12>Trump's way, and he wants those hostages released, and so

0:43:32.320 --> 0:43:34.400
<v Speaker 12>you're gonna have to say hello. And then Steve Witkoff

0:43:34.440 --> 0:43:37.200
<v Speaker 12>went to Qatar, where he has a really good relationship

0:43:37.239 --> 0:43:40.120
<v Speaker 12>with the Qataris, and managed to get Hemas to the table.

0:43:40.560 --> 0:43:42.839
<v Speaker 12>So I think, first of all, it's a great deal

0:43:42.960 --> 0:43:45.239
<v Speaker 12>to see those girls home in the arms of their

0:43:45.280 --> 0:43:48.480
<v Speaker 12>fathers and mothers. I cannot wait for the moment. I

0:43:48.480 --> 0:43:51.279
<v Speaker 12>don't think Donald Trump is going to allow Israel to

0:43:51.400 --> 0:43:54.360
<v Speaker 12>be in a weak position visa Vihmas. I think that

0:43:54.400 --> 0:43:57.560
<v Speaker 12>he will reward them for doing this, And I think

0:43:57.560 --> 0:43:59.480
<v Speaker 12>that this is an example of what we can expect

0:43:59.480 --> 0:44:02.600
<v Speaker 12>from Donald Trump's foreign policy. More broadly, he is the

0:44:02.719 --> 0:44:05.760
<v Speaker 12>deal maker. He knows how to make the Middle East

0:44:06.080 --> 0:44:08.000
<v Speaker 12>do what he thinks it should do. My friend said

0:44:08.080 --> 0:44:11.120
<v Speaker 12>Jalani says, Donald Trump is kind of like a Gulf Arab.

0:44:11.280 --> 0:44:13.960
<v Speaker 12>You know, he sends his son in law and his

0:44:14.080 --> 0:44:17.600
<v Speaker 12>you know, Orthodox Jews and you know, rich developers to

0:44:17.680 --> 0:44:20.560
<v Speaker 12>go over there and push his interests and get a

0:44:20.600 --> 0:44:23.239
<v Speaker 12>good deal. And you know that's what he did. And

0:44:23.280 --> 0:44:25.400
<v Speaker 12>he's not even president yet. There was one of the

0:44:25.440 --> 0:44:29.080
<v Speaker 12>Arab officials in Doha gave an interview and he said

0:44:29.120 --> 0:44:32.799
<v Speaker 12>Donald Trump, through Steve Whitkoff, got more done in one

0:44:32.840 --> 0:44:36.640
<v Speaker 12>conversation with Natanyahu than Biden did in the two years

0:44:36.680 --> 0:44:39.799
<v Speaker 12>since October seventh. And I think that just speaks volumes.

0:44:40.160 --> 0:44:44.120
<v Speaker 12>Thank God Barhashem. We are in a new era and

0:44:44.280 --> 0:44:46.840
<v Speaker 12>I truly hope that you know, all of those people

0:44:46.880 --> 0:44:51.000
<v Speaker 12>come home, that the families who's who's whose hostages, family

0:44:51.000 --> 0:44:53.120
<v Speaker 12>members who are hostages are dead, get their body so

0:44:53.160 --> 0:44:55.239
<v Speaker 12>they can give them a proper burial and they should

0:44:55.280 --> 0:44:56.400
<v Speaker 12>never ever happen again.

0:44:57.320 --> 0:44:59.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we all hope and pray for the same.

0:45:00.000 --> 0:45:02.920
<v Speaker 2>At our Unga Sagan always really great to speak with you.

0:45:03.000 --> 0:45:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much for joining us on the show.

0:45:05.200 --> 0:45:08.280
<v Speaker 2>This evening still to come. Women's sports delivered a major

0:45:08.320 --> 0:45:11.440
<v Speaker 2>win after a bill to prevent biological men from competing

0:45:11.680 --> 0:45:15.839
<v Speaker 2>past the United States House of Representatives. Stephanie Bastian will

0:45:15.920 --> 0:45:27.920
<v Speaker 2>join me next to some great news in the US,

0:45:28.040 --> 0:45:31.920
<v Speaker 2>A bill preventing transgender women from competing in female sports

0:45:31.960 --> 0:45:35.360
<v Speaker 2>at schools across the country has passed through the House

0:45:35.400 --> 0:45:38.640
<v Speaker 2>of Representatives. It's clear that Trump effect is well and

0:45:38.680 --> 0:45:43.440
<v Speaker 2>truly in swing. Joining me now is Women's Forum Australia's

0:45:43.600 --> 0:45:47.200
<v Speaker 2>head of advocacy, Stephanie Bastian. Stephanie, thanks for joining me

0:45:47.400 --> 0:45:49.799
<v Speaker 2>explaining the significance of this decision to us.

0:45:53.120 --> 0:45:55.759
<v Speaker 4>Great to join you, Danika. This is absolutely wonderful. This

0:45:55.800 --> 0:45:58.239
<v Speaker 4>really compliments the decision last week by the courts to

0:45:58.280 --> 0:46:01.160
<v Speaker 4>overturn Title nine, which is a piece of legislation that

0:46:01.280 --> 0:46:04.560
<v Speaker 4>was introduced to protect women in education settings and to

0:46:04.560 --> 0:46:09.080
<v Speaker 4>protect them from discrimination on campus. What this legislation, What

0:46:09.160 --> 0:46:11.600
<v Speaker 4>this bill will do if it passes through the Senate's

0:46:11.600 --> 0:46:14.400
<v Speaker 4>still got to go through there yet. It will entrench

0:46:14.840 --> 0:46:18.400
<v Speaker 4>into law protection for women in sports. It will ensure

0:46:18.440 --> 0:46:22.440
<v Speaker 4>that male competitors who identify as women can't invade these

0:46:22.480 --> 0:46:23.439
<v Speaker 4>sports and.

0:46:23.360 --> 0:46:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Take their places.

0:46:24.120 --> 0:46:26.000
<v Speaker 4>It will reduce women from the risk of injury and

0:46:26.040 --> 0:46:29.759
<v Speaker 4>harm overall, it's a wonderful piece of legislation. It's something

0:46:29.760 --> 0:46:32.479
<v Speaker 4>that we actually need here in Australia as well. Claire

0:46:32.520 --> 0:46:35.759
<v Speaker 4>Chandler has a bill, the Save Women's Sports Bill, and

0:46:35.800 --> 0:46:38.080
<v Speaker 4>I really hope it gets some attention, particularly in the

0:46:38.120 --> 0:46:40.200
<v Speaker 4>lead up to the election, because we know that women

0:46:40.239 --> 0:46:43.200
<v Speaker 4>in Australia are being harmed by these policies, particularly in

0:46:43.200 --> 0:46:47.520
<v Speaker 4>a community setting where they're prioritizing diversity and inclusion of

0:46:47.560 --> 0:46:48.680
<v Speaker 4>a fairness and safety.

0:46:49.360 --> 0:46:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely.

0:46:50.239 --> 0:46:52.480
<v Speaker 2>So this is a wake up call to Australia because

0:46:52.640 --> 0:46:54.160
<v Speaker 2>we've got a lot of problems when it comes to

0:46:54.200 --> 0:46:56.520
<v Speaker 2>these issues down under. Now, look, we should all be

0:46:56.600 --> 0:47:00.760
<v Speaker 2>very concerned about the indoctrination of children in classrooms into

0:47:00.800 --> 0:47:03.920
<v Speaker 2>this woke gender ideology, but have a look at this.

0:47:03.960 --> 0:47:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Over in the US, Sarah McBride is the first transgender

0:47:07.040 --> 0:47:10.080
<v Speaker 2>member of Congress. She was participating in a Jazz and

0:47:10.160 --> 0:47:13.760
<v Speaker 2>Friends National Day of School and Community Readings, which provides

0:47:13.840 --> 0:47:17.800
<v Speaker 2>trainings and resources for elementary school educators to help quote

0:47:17.880 --> 0:47:22.960
<v Speaker 2>welcome diverse families, create LGBTQ and gender inclusive schools, prevent

0:47:23.040 --> 0:47:27.000
<v Speaker 2>bias based bullying, and support transgender and non binary students.

0:47:27.040 --> 0:47:27.640
<v Speaker 1>Have a look at this.

0:47:29.560 --> 0:47:33.000
<v Speaker 16>I have a girl Green, but a boy Bardy.

0:47:34.040 --> 0:47:35.400
<v Speaker 1>This is called.

0:47:35.320 --> 0:47:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Transgender, Stephanie. This is an absolute disgrace. They had children

0:47:40.280 --> 0:47:44.319
<v Speaker 2>and they're being exposed to woke gender ideology already, and

0:47:44.400 --> 0:47:46.840
<v Speaker 2>yet once again they claim it's all done under the

0:47:46.840 --> 0:47:48.560
<v Speaker 2>banner of inclusivity.

0:47:48.600 --> 0:47:49.359
<v Speaker 1>Where does it end.

0:47:50.080 --> 0:47:52.600
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely, I mean, this is a classic example of the

0:47:52.640 --> 0:47:56.480
<v Speaker 4>harmful indoctrination that is being done to kids. It's not

0:47:56.520 --> 0:47:59.759
<v Speaker 4>only in doctrination, it's factually incorrect. Well, I think the

0:48:00.040 --> 0:48:01.600
<v Speaker 4>American government needs to do is they need to look

0:48:01.600 --> 0:48:05.960
<v Speaker 4>at organizations like the American Library Association and all the

0:48:06.000 --> 0:48:09.000
<v Speaker 4>work programs that they're running. They've canceled Laura Ingles Wilder

0:48:09.960 --> 0:48:14.040
<v Speaker 4>over her historic recordings of American history through her literacy,

0:48:14.600 --> 0:48:18.920
<v Speaker 4>They've promote diversity inclusion programs which are very woke, and

0:48:19.000 --> 0:48:21.440
<v Speaker 4>they need to strip the funding from these organizations. And

0:48:21.480 --> 0:48:23.520
<v Speaker 4>this is something we actually need to do in Australia too.

0:48:23.840 --> 0:48:27.399
<v Speaker 4>The only reason organizations like AKON are being propped up

0:48:27.800 --> 0:48:31.480
<v Speaker 4>and their subsidiary organizations through their education programs at schools

0:48:31.480 --> 0:48:34.120
<v Speaker 4>and in libraries is because of the millions of dollars

0:48:34.120 --> 0:48:37.160
<v Speaker 4>being poured into them. By taxpayer funds. Let the private

0:48:37.160 --> 0:48:39.440
<v Speaker 4>sector decide if they want to fund these organizations, but

0:48:39.480 --> 0:48:41.800
<v Speaker 4>it shouldn't be coming from the public person has to stop.

0:48:42.600 --> 0:48:45.360
<v Speaker 2>It does look we're almost out of time, but very quickly.

0:48:45.719 --> 0:48:48.920
<v Speaker 2>A teenager has been granted permission to access cross sex

0:48:48.960 --> 0:48:52.719
<v Speaker 2>hormones despite a family court judge in Australia conceding that

0:48:52.760 --> 0:48:58.320
<v Speaker 2>there are risks associated with the treatment. I find this baffling, Stephanie.

0:48:58.320 --> 0:49:00.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if there are risks, I give it to

0:49:00.640 --> 0:49:01.320
<v Speaker 2>a teenager.

0:49:04.120 --> 0:49:07.480
<v Speaker 4>It's absolutely devastating for the child that's involved. But the

0:49:07.560 --> 0:49:10.120
<v Speaker 4>judgment noted that they gave great weight to the National

0:49:10.160 --> 0:49:13.960
<v Speaker 4>Standards of Care, which is being pushed by w PATH

0:49:14.560 --> 0:49:18.839
<v Speaker 4>in conjunction with OSPAK, both discredited organizations in this field.

0:49:18.880 --> 0:49:22.640
<v Speaker 4>It's being promoted by activists. What we need, Kderanekia, is

0:49:22.680 --> 0:49:26.440
<v Speaker 4>we need to have an inquiry, a national inquiry, because

0:49:26.440 --> 0:49:29.040
<v Speaker 4>it's wrong that these judges are making decisions on this

0:49:29.080 --> 0:49:33.120
<v Speaker 4>outdated information. Kudos to the parents that are in court fighting,

0:49:33.960 --> 0:49:36.440
<v Speaker 4>putting their time and money in line to save their children,

0:49:36.440 --> 0:49:39.160
<v Speaker 4>but they shouldn't have to. And with what we know overseas,

0:49:39.200 --> 0:49:42.120
<v Speaker 4>with the findings of the CAST review and the international

0:49:42.120 --> 0:49:44.960
<v Speaker 4>community moving away from the gender affirmation model. It is

0:49:45.040 --> 0:49:48.640
<v Speaker 4>totally unacceptable that in twenty twenty five these decisions are

0:49:48.680 --> 0:49:51.200
<v Speaker 4>still being made and we haven't had a national inquiry.

0:49:51.520 --> 0:49:54.120
<v Speaker 1>I completely agree with you. It's an absolute disgrace.

0:49:54.120 --> 0:49:55.839
<v Speaker 2>Stephanie Bastian, good to speak with you.

0:49:55.880 --> 0:49:58.359
<v Speaker 1>Thank you very much for joining me this evening. Well

0:49:58.400 --> 0:50:00.759
<v Speaker 1>that's it for me. Up next is news Night. Good

0:50:00.840 --> 0:50:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Night

0:50:08.200 --> 0:50:08.520
<v Speaker 6>Mm hm
