Speaker 1: On Skorne Lives Australia. This is the Reader Paney Show.
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panahee Show. I'm
Speaker 2: Danikiti Giorgio.
Speaker 1: Coming up.
Speaker 2: Labour sinks even lower with its dirty campaign tactics. Will
Speaker 2: show you the latest attack on Peter Dutton, the implymer
Speaker 2: on why Chris Bowen is using dodgy tactics to deceive
Speaker 2: the public on the cost of nuclear energy. Donald Trump's
Speaker 2: Secretary of Defense pick Pete Hegseth is attacked by woke
Speaker 2: senators and targeted by protesters at a chaotic confirmation hearing.
Speaker 2: Bartia Unga Saden will give us her take a win
Speaker 2: for common sense. In the US, a bill preventing transgender
Speaker 2: women from competing in female sports has passed through the
Speaker 2: House of Representatives. Stephanie Bastian will join me, and of
Speaker 2: course Lefty is losing arch, including this gender bending lefty
Speaker 2: who can't quite grasp biology.
Speaker 3: The parts you see on an ultrasound don't determine a
Speaker 3: baby's gender.
Speaker 1: Joining me now is.
Speaker 2: Sky News contributor Prue McSwain. Prue, good to see you,
Speaker 2: Thank you very much for joining me on this show.
Speaker 2: Now I want to start with Labour's anti Semitism envoy,
Speaker 2: because she has warned that democracy is at stake and
Speaker 2: that the nation's judiciary is failing Jewish Australians with weak
Speaker 2: sentences that are handing anti Semitic criminals effective impunity. In
Speaker 2: an extraordinary intervention after an explosion of anti Semitic attacks
Speaker 2: on synagogues and family homes over the summer, Gillian Siegel
Speaker 2: said Anthony Alberanezi must convene national Cabinet to take immediate action.
Speaker 4: Proue.
Speaker 1: Look, of course there.
Speaker 2: Needs to be immediate action, but action should have happened
Speaker 2: in my opinion months ago. Why has it taken so
Speaker 2: long to get to the point where we're going.
Speaker 1: We need intervention. Democracy is at.
Speaker 5: Stake, well one hundred percent, And you know it was
Speaker 5: a cynical thing. I believe that he even pointed a
Speaker 5: nonvoy and he was never going to listen to her. Now,
Speaker 5: of course he's on the skids, and this is why
Speaker 5: Albanesi is on the skids, because Australians, mainstream Australians, are
Speaker 5: sick and tired and concerned that this country has changed
Speaker 5: so much. The social cohesion in this country, the tolerance
Speaker 5: and acceptance that we've enjoyed for years, years and years
Speaker 5: is now dissolving between our eyes. And it's because of
Speaker 5: this government's in action. You know, it started on October seven,
Speaker 5: on October nine, after the Opera House and the fact
Speaker 5: that sanctions were not imposed on those people, those anti
Speaker 5: Semitic acts, and it's been happening. It's all words from
Speaker 5: this government and he's not listening to this envoy clearly,
Speaker 5: the fact that he has what we've seen, what's happened
Speaker 5: in the UN and what's been going on with Wong
Speaker 5: and of Albanesi and how they've betrayed Australia and Israel
Speaker 5: and the relationship we've had for so many years and
Speaker 5: Jews everywhere, and in fact, what he doesn't understand this
Speaker 5: is an attack on not just us, it's an attack
Speaker 5: on all Australians who support yous, who have supported multiculturalism.
Speaker 5: And this is now what we're facing. And it's because
Speaker 5: it's totally and solely because of this government's inaction.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I agreed.
Speaker 2: It's interesting because a labor mayor in Sydney has also
Speaker 2: said that his electorate has become a tinderbox after a
Speaker 2: spate of anti Semitic attacks.
Speaker 1: He also says the.
Speaker 2: Greens are at every level have failed to combat the.
Speaker 1: Hatred and inflame tensions.
Speaker 2: This is according to Inner West Mayor Darcy Byrne, he's
Speaker 2: calling for bipartisan action. Well, I would argue that, you know,
Speaker 2: the coalition has been very good from the very beginning
Speaker 2: and there's no bipartisan action proved because Labor haven't gotten
Speaker 2: to that point where they want bipartisan action.
Speaker 1: I agree with him wholeheartily on the Greens.
Speaker 2: They've been a disgrace from the very beginning, but Labor
Speaker 2: has to do something exactly.
Speaker 5: You know, it's amusing that this Darcy Byrne, who's a
Speaker 5: Labor mayor, is pointing the fear at the Greens. Sure,
Speaker 5: as you say, the Greens have been culpable and are despicable,
Speaker 5: and I think that they have underestimated the extent of
Speaker 5: angst in mainstream Australia and with fair minded younger Australians
Speaker 5: and even the elites because it's so bad. So I
Speaker 5: think that you know, we've seen it in the election
Speaker 5: in Queensland and various other polling and the Act and
Speaker 5: the Act of course, and you know, you know that
Speaker 5: they're losing support, and thank god they are. But in
Speaker 5: this case, you know, this Labor mayor is having a
Speaker 5: go at the Greens. Give us a break date, you
Speaker 5: know there's an.
Speaker 1: Election coming up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all very tactical in my view, prow. Now, look,
Speaker 2: Peter Dutton and Anthony Abernezi have presented a bipartisan threat
Speaker 2: of the strongest possible action against the Kremlin if Australian
Speaker 2: foreign fighter Oscar Jenkins is confirmed to have been executed
Speaker 2: by Russian forces following his capture in Eastern Ukraine. He
Speaker 2: was the Prime Minister earlier.
Speaker 6: We call upon Russia too immediately confirm Oscar jenkins status.
Speaker 6: If there has been any harm caused to Oscar Jenkins,
Speaker 6: it's absolutely reprehensible and the Australian Gubbment will take the
Speaker 6: strongest action possible.
Speaker 2: Proue, I highly doubt that Vladimir Putin's listening to Anthony Albanisi.
Speaker 2: You know, the strongest condemnation. That's not strong condemnation. But
Speaker 2: what action should be taken here in your view, because
Speaker 2: this man is an Australian But what can we do really.
Speaker 5: Well, this is the problem. I mean, short of doing sanctions.
Speaker 5: We know that they've broken. Well, we don't even know
Speaker 5: if the man has been killed, but we're assuming, we're assuming.
Speaker 1: Yeah, many of us.
Speaker 5: Have wondered why he joined the Ukraine legion anyway, but
Speaker 5: that's his choice.
Speaker 1: It's tragic that this has happened.
Speaker 5: Waving your finger at the ambassador here is not going
Speaker 5: to do anything. They're saying they may expel him. Who
Speaker 5: cares cares?
Speaker 1: What's that going to? That's doing nothing.
Speaker 5: So the problem is that the weakness of this government
Speaker 5: and Albinizi is evident internationally. So the Russians won't give
Speaker 5: us stuff what we do, so shot of sanctions and
Speaker 5: holding if there is any money here, Russian money here
Speaker 5: or something, I can't see what is it. It's just sort
Speaker 5: of hitting them with a feather duck.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean nothing's going to I mean they're
Speaker 2: not shaking in their boots right now listening to Albo
Speaker 2: from Australia, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Now look here we go again with dirty.
Speaker 2: Campaign tactics, because the woman trying to oust Opposition leader
Speaker 2: Peter Dutton has been accused of bullying after organizing a
Speaker 2: fundraiser called Potato Night. This is from Labour's candidate for Dixon.
Speaker 2: Ali Franz, who sent out email invites two supporters for
Speaker 2: a Potato Night fundraiser with potato themed activities in a
Speaker 2: quote distasteful nod to disparaging nicknames which target mister Dutton's appearance. Now,
Speaker 2: pro look, this is the second such dirty tactic we've seen.
Speaker 1: Remember that one that came out from the Victorian Labor branch.
Speaker 2: A couple of weeks ago, where Peter Dutton's wife and
Speaker 2: up in this ad. You know, Albanezy spent the last
Speaker 2: week attacking Peter Dutton. As it is, you can see
Speaker 2: a trend here. This is the trend now from Labor.
Speaker 2: It's attack attacked because they've got nothing to show for themselves.
Speaker 1: So do you think.
Speaker 2: Dirty tactics of what Labour's going to be presenting between
Speaker 2: now and a federal election.
Speaker 5: I'm sure they are. But I say go your hardest,
Speaker 5: because the more you do it, the more the rest
Speaker 5: of us think you are despicable and you deserve to
Speaker 5: be thrown out. And the amplifies the fact that they
Speaker 5: have no policies, they have nothing else to say. Attacking
Speaker 5: the man didn't work in America, as we saw with Trump,
Speaker 5: and we you know We're.
Speaker 1: Better than this.
Speaker 5: We as in the voters, are better than this. We're
Speaker 5: not going to put up with this. Daily we are
Speaker 5: reminded how bad this government is just in our day
Speaker 5: to day lives, and they're just reinforcing it. So go
Speaker 5: your hardest, call him every name under the same. So
Speaker 5: it's like when we were little kids and news to
Speaker 5: get call people names.
Speaker 1: It's pathetic, isn't it. It is totally old and pathetic. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but this is the problem now that we're heading into
Speaker 1: an election.
Speaker 2: Labour's got nothing to show for themselves because they were
Speaker 2: elected on a cost of living mandate. They've made so
Speaker 2: many stuff up since twenty twenty two. And this is
Speaker 2: typical of the left that when they're under pressure the
Speaker 2: polls about they start attacking so hardly surprising. Now this
Speaker 2: is an important one because deradicalization programs have failed to
Speaker 2: change the behavior of high risk individuals and authority sphere
Speaker 2: could commit acts of terror in Australia or even produce
Speaker 2: data on whether the initiative actually works. The Australian Institute
Speaker 2: of Criminology found that the behavior of some individuals actually
Speaker 2: worsened in the program, triggering the involvement of law enforcement agencies.
Speaker 2: Prow look, I think that I take this as a
Speaker 2: warning sign to Australia and a big worry. A couple
Speaker 2: of weeks ago we saw the New Orleans terror attack.
Speaker 1: That was a wake up call. That was a big,
Speaker 1: big wake.
Speaker 2: Up call about terrorism coming back into countries, into Western countries.
Speaker 1: But from our perspective, I mean, if you are considered
Speaker 1: or deemed.
Speaker 2: To be at risk, surely we've got to enforce tougher consequences.
Speaker 2: If you're from overseas, you need to be deported. We
Speaker 2: can't just keep these people on programs if they're not rehabilitating.
Speaker 1: Because there are risks to society exactly.
Speaker 5: James Patterson, you know who's so impressive, the Shadow Home
Speaker 5: Affairs spokesman, was saying that post sentence restrictions need to
Speaker 5: be imposed. We need to keep them in detention more.
Speaker 5: You know what really gets to me is that why
Speaker 5: are these preachers of hate Islam?
Speaker 1: These are Islamic Islamic.
Speaker 5: Preachers of hate who are clearly and openly inciting hatred
Speaker 5: are not deported or shut down?
Speaker 1: Are we serious about this?
Speaker 5: You know, having these programs. This one's called Living Safe Together,
Speaker 5: intervention program.
Speaker 1: It's one of.
Speaker 5: Those sort of softly, softly, feel good things that are
Speaker 5: not going to do anything for anyone. We've just committed
Speaker 5: sixty one point seven million over four years for it,
Speaker 5: and it's proven to be in effective.
Speaker 1: Well, we walk on eggshells, don't we. We we we tiptoe.
Speaker 1: This is typical tiptoeing.
Speaker 2: Don't want to offend certain people this and look what happens.
Speaker 2: They're not working now. This is I mean, the hypocrisy
Speaker 2: is very very clear here. Oscar winning actor and so
Speaker 2: called climate change activist Leonardo DiCaprio has faced backlash after
Speaker 2: he used a private jet to flee the Wildflyers in
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. Yes, they're all climate warriors when they want
Speaker 2: to be climate warriors, prove. But then the truth always
Speaker 2: comes out, doesn't it.
Speaker 5: It sure does. It's spent eighty million or something already
Speaker 5: on climate change. But we saw that with all these
Speaker 5: you know, in Doha recently, all these cop out organization
Speaker 5: or conferences where they all flying in their jets. It's
Speaker 5: just a load of bull. Let's face, it is. But
Speaker 5: I must admit if I was in his shoes and
Speaker 5: the fires were fanning around me and I had a
Speaker 5: private jet, I'd get the hell out of there.
Speaker 2: I understand that you wouldn't get the hell out of it.
Speaker 1: It's what did they call it, ridiculous hypocrisy.
Speaker 2: It's everywhere, It's always there anyway, Thank you, Pro McSwain,
Speaker 2: good to speak, there's always thanks for coming on this evening. Well,
Speaker 2: we've all seen the devastating fires in Los Angeles. But
Speaker 2: it didn't stop the alarmists blaming the fires on you
Speaker 2: guessed it, climate change. Never mind the poor water management
Speaker 2: by LA authorities.
Speaker 1: The ignored warnings, the lack.
Speaker 2: Of funding, the Biden administration stopping control burns, DEI policies
Speaker 2: in the fire department, and the list goes on.
Speaker 1: Not that that deterred the doomsday cult.
Speaker 7: You would have to be a fool to not understand
Speaker 7: what climate change is doing to this country, in the world.
Speaker 2: Wildfire is raging in LA are highlighting the risk of
Speaker 2: climate change.
Speaker 1: Yes, climate change.
Speaker 8: The wildfires in California are the leadst in a string
Speaker 8: of natural disasters made worse by climate change.
Speaker 3: Big part of why we're seeing more wildfires is climate change.
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about these destructive fire is compounded
Speaker 1: by climate.
Speaker 8: Climate change set up the conditions for this supercharged fire.
Speaker 9: It exacerbated and increased by climate change.
Speaker 10: Climate change which is political, but it's clearly a major
Speaker 10: driver here.
Speaker 6: Climate change will only make wildfires more common.
Speaker 2: It's no wonder the American public is losing trust in
Speaker 2: their news outlets, TV and newspaper reporters rank with the
Speaker 2: likes of cast salespeople, lawyers, and advertising professionals. Joining me
Speaker 2: now all the way from Saudi Arabia is esteemed geologists.
Speaker 2: Professor Ian plimer Ian, nice to see you. Thank you
Speaker 2: so much for joining me. After every natural disaster, why
Speaker 2: do the left always rush to blame it all on
Speaker 2: climate change?
Speaker 11: Because they've never had any evidence that humans drive climate change.
Speaker 11: It's never been showing. This is the greatest scientific scam
Speaker 11: we've ever had in the history of time. No one
Speaker 11: has ever shown that human emissions drive global warming. No
Speaker 11: one has ever shown there's no data.
Speaker 12: So here we have a problem.
Speaker 11: I've been chasing climate institutes for years. Just give me
Speaker 11: half a dozen scientific papers. They can't do it.
Speaker 13: So if you've got ingrown toenails, or your car breaks down,
Speaker 13: or there's a fire, that's not nearly as great as
Speaker 13: the nineteenth century fires, then it's got to be climate changed.
Speaker 11: We have to blame humans for what we're doing in this.
Speaker 11: In Australia, we had huge fires in nineteen thirty nine
Speaker 11: and again in the eighteen fifties. They were far greater
Speaker 11: than anything we had in any summer in recent times.
Speaker 11: Yet we're told of the recent fires are year to
Speaker 11: climate change. Maybe they should look at actually maintaining the forests,
Speaker 11: maintaining their vehicles, having a forest fighting crew rather than
Speaker 11: the city fighting crew helping out. Maybe having fairly modern
Speaker 11: electricity transmission wires rather than ancient wires. Maybe they shouldn't
Speaker 11: be so clean and green and water underful, and build
Speaker 11: houses in forests surrounded by flammable trees that are full
Speaker 11: of oils. Maybe, just maybe the Left is being absolutely
Speaker 11: hypical critical, and maybe they're showing that they're totally ignorant.
Speaker 2: Absolutely As he said, you've only got to look all
Speaker 2: the way back into history to know that there were
Speaker 2: bad fires all the way back then.
Speaker 1: Not that the Left will ever tell you that, of course.
Speaker 2: Because it's all got to do with climate change, as
Speaker 2: they want you to believe. Now, what's going on in
Speaker 2: the US, because the Biden administration has rushed to allocate
Speaker 2: more than seventy billion US dollars of funding for climate
Speaker 2: initiatives before Donald Trump's inauguration. The outgoing administration has been
Speaker 2: accelerating its allocation of cash for climate change and clean
Speaker 2: energy programs before the changing presidency. And I'm not sure
Speaker 2: what the point of it is because Trump's already pledged
Speaker 2: to terminate what he calls the green new scam. So
Speaker 2: what exactly is Biden trying to achieve in his dying
Speaker 2: day in the administration.
Speaker 11: Well, the point is very cynical. He's trying to trip
Speaker 11: up Trump to make his life more difficult. He knows
Speaker 11: that it can be changed. But this is typically the
Speaker 11: way the left operates. It's all negative. It's cynical. It's
Speaker 11: not nation building, it's not helping people. The left traditionally
Speaker 11: has been wanting to look after people who are at
Speaker 11: the bottom end of the spectrum, and they're doing the
Speaker 11: exact opposite. Now Biden is just making the transition very difficult,
Speaker 11: despite the fact that he was going to have an
Speaker 11: orderly transition. So I just think this shows the Democrats
Speaker 11: are pretty morally defunct, that the Democrats really don't care
Speaker 11: at all about how people suffer.
Speaker 2: No, that's very very clear, and looking forward to that inauguration.
Speaker 1: The sooner the better.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, the world's biggest climate finance alliance, which has actually
Speaker 2: been backed by major asset managers, is suspending its activities
Speaker 2: and reviewing its structure. The Net Zero Asset Manager Initiative
Speaker 2: was founded to promote the adoption of greenhouse gas reduction efforts.
Speaker 1: And what does this tell.
Speaker 11: You, Well, it tells you that reality sometimes strikes. We
Speaker 11: had that globally, that we are aware that we cannot
Speaker 11: keep industrial societies running on sunbeams and on sea breezes.
Speaker 11: It's costing too much money. We're aware that we once
Speaker 11: had a very good system of cheap, reliable electricity that
Speaker 11: derived from having energy concentration in things like coal or
Speaker 11: energy concentration in nuclear materials. And all of a sudden,
Speaker 11: people are saying, well, this is not going to work.
Speaker 11: And also we've got a major president who is going
Speaker 11: to be changing things in the US. Things have already
Speaker 11: changed in many other parts of the world. It's going
Speaker 11: to change in the US, and that will drive changes
Speaker 11: in the world. If you're here in Saudi Arabia and
Speaker 11: you talk about climate change. It's one of the best
Speaker 11: jokes you can make people raw with.
Speaker 1: Laugh.
Speaker 11: Finally, reality is coming home.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I also wonder if it's that the Trump
Speaker 2: effect almost having an impact already before he's even creating.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, definitely. Now this is a real laugh.
Speaker 2: Chris Bowen has been exposed as the most dangerous minister
Speaker 2: in Albanese's cabinet because it's been revealed that the Energy
Speaker 2: Minister weaponize the public service by instructing his department to
Speaker 2: produce entirely flawed figures to allege Peter Dutton's nuclear energy
Speaker 2: plan would see a forty nine percent electricity shortfall by
Speaker 2: twenty thirty five. The Department of Climate Change and Energy
Speaker 2: now says what it did was not an analysis of
Speaker 2: the coalition's nuclear energy proposals, but an assumption driven calculation.
Speaker 2: So ian these figures, they were a dream, but still
Speaker 2: pushed out to the public. How are we supposed to
Speaker 2: have a proper debate about energy in this country when
Speaker 2: Bowen is feeding us lies?
Speaker 11: Well, I'm not surprised. I mean, he's probably the worst
Speaker 11: cabinet minister in my voting lifetime, and I first voted
Speaker 11: in nineteen sixty one. A very sad id logue. He
Speaker 11: cannot understand that there were dozens of countries that stay
Speaker 11: alive with nuclear there are dozens of countries that are
Speaker 11: increasing their coal fired power capacity. And yet he wants
Speaker 11: to stick to his ideology. He wants to cook the books,
Speaker 11: He wants to force people to cook the books. And
Speaker 11: he is the very best thing that the Liberals have
Speaker 11: got in the Albert Easy government. He just has to
Speaker 11: stay there, please, mister Bones, stay in that cabinet position,
Speaker 11: Keep opening your mouth, keep giving us the benefit of
Speaker 11: your wisdom, keep showing us that you've had a very
Speaker 11: successful charisma bypass operation. Just keep doing it, please, because
Speaker 11: you're helping the Liberals.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I mean, as much as I want him not to.
Speaker 2: Be in that portfolio and your spot on, it's probably
Speaker 2: doing the coalition of favor. Now look before we let
Speaker 2: you go. The warnings are continuing. The Victorian government's aggressive
Speaker 2: electrification of the power network is likely to result in
Speaker 2: mass blackouts, with demand forecast to outweigh renewable energy supply
Speaker 2: by more than thirty percent in some months. That's according
Speaker 2: to a report by leading academic professor Simon Schauser, who
Speaker 2: runs a Queensland government owned energy business himself.
Speaker 1: How many more warnings do we need? AAMO has said it.
Speaker 2: We've got multiple reports saying the same thing. We're going
Speaker 2: broken backward in this country on this renewables energy fantasy,
Speaker 2: aren't we?
Speaker 11: Well we are, And look back in time a little bit.
Speaker 11: Victoria had the cheapest electricity in the world that came
Speaker 11: from these huge brown coal deposits in eastern Victoria. Those
Speaker 11: brown coal deposits can keep Victoria going for thousands of years.
Speaker 11: There is so much coal there, it's such good quality.
Speaker 11: And the infrastructure was set up in Victoria to make
Speaker 11: it the powerhouse of Australia, to make it the manufacturing
Speaker 11: center Australia, and it was now if Victoria loves power,
Speaker 11: that also kills off South Australia because says the interconnect
Speaker 11: to bringing power across from Victoria into South Australia. So
Speaker 11: we now have a domino effect that is set up
Speaker 11: by bureau cramps and by politicians who know nothing about electricity.
Speaker 11: We haven't listened to our electrical engineers. And again reality
Speaker 11: will strike and reality is going to be very very
Speaker 11: cruel in Victoria.
Speaker 2: If it isn't already. I completely agree. I employment nice
Speaker 2: to speak with you. Thanks very much for joining me
Speaker 2: on the show this evening were coming up after the break.
Speaker 2: You won't want to miss Lefties Losing Its Plus Pete
Speaker 2: Hegsett's Confirmation hearing gate crashed by left Heckler's.
Speaker 1: Bartia Unger Sagan is here for the latest from the US.
Speaker 2: Now it's time for Lefties Losing it and don't we
Speaker 2: have a treat come up for you the lunacy at
Speaker 2: Pete Hegsett's Confirmation Hearing. You won't want to miss the
Speaker 2: incoherent meltdowns. But first of this lefty who is reinventing
Speaker 2: the gender will claiming the sex of a baby on
Speaker 2: an ultrasound can't possibly be right.
Speaker 3: The parts you see on an ultrasound don't determine a
Speaker 3: baby's gender, and how is that possible? Well, think about
Speaker 3: it like this marker a blue cap usually means a
Speaker 3: blue marker, but sometimes marker caps get switched and in
Speaker 3: this case it is a pink marker. See that's what
Speaker 3: happened to me. They saw something on the ultrasound that
Speaker 3: usually means it's a boy, but the cap was cap
Speaker 3: and I turned out to be a girl.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's all very lucrative now using a crayola pains
Speaker 2: to determine gender. Who's going to tell him that swapping
Speaker 2: caps makes no difference to the parts you're born with.
Speaker 1: But cute, try, very cute, very sweet.
Speaker 2: Now to Donald Trump's impending inauguration can't come soon enough
Speaker 2: and he's pick to perform the beautiful Carrie Underwood, and
Speaker 2: the news has truly shattered and destroyed. There has been
Speaker 2: hyaenas over at the view. In fact, it's yet another
Speaker 2: hard knock for them.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do it, even though I was no.
Speaker 10: I would not. I would not normalize him. And she says,
Speaker 10: I love our country. How do you love your country
Speaker 10: and support and normalize somebody who was a convicted felon
Speaker 10: who really wants to destroy the country. In my opinion,
Speaker 10: I don't understand how you say you love your country
Speaker 10: at the same time as you normalize this convicted felon,
Speaker 10: which I can say now every.
Speaker 4: Day have we heard from Suddy Austin yet a smiley,
Speaker 4: true delight of a woman.
Speaker 1: I agree with you, Joy. I can't sing a lick,
Speaker 1: but I certain and I have not been asked, but
Speaker 1: if I were asked, it would be a hard no.
Speaker 2: Well, thank goodness, Thank goodness, we clarified that one.
Speaker 1: We were losing sleep. We wanted to know the answer
Speaker 1: to that.
Speaker 2: And no doubt Sonny's announcement would come as to a
Speaker 2: shock to Donald Trump himself.
Speaker 1: And it's not just the you. This is the worst
Speaker 1: day of the feminist Coults lives.
Speaker 14: Carry Underwood is going to perform at Trump's inauguration.
Speaker 2: Now to Gavin Newsom, the hapless and hopeless California governor
Speaker 2: who is really living up to his name as a
Speaker 2: slimy used car salesman, can someone please explain the shoulder shimmy.
Speaker 15: We're dealing with a myriad of issues. I was just
Speaker 15: talking to Josh Green, the governor of down in Hawaii.
Speaker 15: You had some ideas around some land juice concerns. He
Speaker 15: has run speculators coming in buying up properties.
Speaker 1: Ah, how is that?
Speaker 2: A little little smile, a little shimmy, a little dance, manicuit,
Speaker 2: hair fresh botox, A real man of the people in
Speaker 2: the middle of a fire zone, isn't he?
Speaker 1: And here he is again showing just how personable he is.
Speaker 15: My humble position and it's and it's not just being
Speaker 15: naively optimistic that only reinforces the imperative moving quickly doing
Speaker 15: in the spirit of collaboration cooperation.
Speaker 2: He's over stimulated, perhaps taking California dreaming way too far.
Speaker 2: And never mind Gavin Newsome's failures to prepare the state
Speaker 2: for fires, because you can always trust Whoopee Goldberg to
Speaker 2: give the best possible explanation.
Speaker 1: Here's how this works.
Speaker 16: There was a fire catastrophe in California.
Speaker 1: Had to do it wins.
Speaker 16: You know how they're always saying, oh, the wind.
Speaker 1: It actually does.
Speaker 16: The winds move things and sparks mooth things, and it
Speaker 16: doesn't matter how much water you have if nine hundred
Speaker 16: thousand buildings go up at the same time.
Speaker 1: Wow, how was that?
Speaker 2: It is good to know that Whoopee is such an
Speaker 2: expert on wind. And speaking of looney explanations, I want to.
Speaker 14: Take a minute to talk about looting because I think
Speaker 14: it's worth considering why people would run into an active
Speaker 14: fire to steal stuff rather than fleeing the fire. And
Speaker 14: it seems like in the media coverage that I'm listening
Speaker 14: to that people think that people are just like greedy
Speaker 14: who want to be looting, And I'm just wondering if
Speaker 14: maybe these people have actually considered whether it is safer
Speaker 14: for them to run into a fire or to continue
Speaker 14: to exist within capitalism without access to resources, And after
Speaker 14: weighing the pros and cons they concluded that the safer
Speaker 14: option is to run into the fire to steal stuff.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, that absolutely makes title sense.
Speaker 1: Title sense, doesn't it?
Speaker 2: Now to paint Hegseth being hounded by bitter banshees at
Speaker 2: a Senate committee, And I've got to say this basically
Speaker 2: just sums it up.
Speaker 1: Organization says it old, isn't it.
Speaker 2: But you know, look, it wouldn't be a lefties losing
Speaker 2: it without actually taking you.
Speaker 1: Through the lefties losing it.
Speaker 2: So let's start with Elizabeth Warren, the delightful Elizabeth Warren,
Speaker 2: banging and carrying on.
Speaker 8: In other words, you're quite sure that every general who
Speaker 8: serves should not go directly into the defense industry for
Speaker 8: ten years. You're not willing to make that same pledge.
Speaker 7: I'm not a general, Senator.
Speaker 2: Oh, the gotcha didn't quite work there, and the yelling
Speaker 2: theatrical sideshow didn't end there.
Speaker 9: In the DoD Everything you've said in these public statements
Speaker 9: is politics. I don't want women, I don't want moms.
Speaker 1: What's wrong with a mom?
Speaker 9: By the way, once you have babies, you therefore are
Speaker 9: no longer able to be lethal. I mean, you're basically
Speaker 9: saying women after they have children can't ever serve in
Speaker 9: the military in a combat role. It's a silly thing
Speaker 9: to say. It's a silly thing to say beneath the position,
Speaker 9: and that you are aspiring to to denigrate LGBTQ service
Speaker 9: members is a mistake. If you are a sharpshooter, you're
Speaker 9: as lethal regardless of what your gender identity is, regardless
Speaker 9: of who you love.
Speaker 1: It just doesn't. It doesn't in there.
Speaker 2: It didn't in there because Q what appeared to be
Speaker 2: a drunk and incoherent Maizie Herno from Hawaii.
Speaker 17: Would you use our military to take over Greenland or
Speaker 17: an ally of Denmark?
Speaker 1: Senator?
Speaker 7: One of the things that President Trump is so good
Speaker 7: at is never strategically tipping his hand, and so I
Speaker 7: would never in this public forum give one way or
Speaker 7: another to direct what orders the president in any context.
Speaker 17: That sounds to me that you would contemplate carrying out
Speaker 17: such an order to basically invade Greenland and take over
Speaker 17: the Panama Canal.
Speaker 2: Yes, I really brought the big ones out from Hawaii
Speaker 2: for this one, didn't I? And then the Democrats tragic
Speaker 2: attempt at a gotcha moment backfired yet again.
Speaker 7: Can you give me an experience or your actual experience
Speaker 7: of driving innovation in an organization.
Speaker 17: Give me an example of where you have done.
Speaker 7: My Goodness Center absolutely a Concerned Veterans for America. We
Speaker 7: created the Fixing Healthcare Veterans Healthcare task Force, a bipartisan
Speaker 7: task force that never been done before, to create policy,
Speaker 7: to drive policy change on Capitol Hill that organizations fought
Speaker 7: ferociously against. Where we got the Via Accountability Act passed
Speaker 7: and the Mission Act passed in a way that a
Speaker 7: nonprofit of our size, veterans.
Speaker 1: Organization, we appreciate it. Never done.
Speaker 7: You're testified in all the letters we've put forward to
Speaker 7: the committee which you're on the Okay, I have limited time.
Speaker 2: Joining me now with plenty more lefties losing it content
Speaker 2: is Newsweek Deputy Opinion editor Bartia Unga Sagan Bartia, thank
Speaker 2: you so much for joining me. Let's start with that
Speaker 2: brilliant performance by Pete Hegseeth at the Senate confirmation hearing.
Speaker 2: Not only did he have to battle with a lunatic
Speaker 2: congressmen and women.
Speaker 1: The hearing was interrupted multiple times by protesters.
Speaker 7: Have a look at the thank you for figuratively and
Speaker 7: literally having my back.
Speaker 5: You are Amus, not only that you are a.
Speaker 18: Prety and readiness.
Speaker 12: We stud money to find children, and shame on all you.
Speaker 12: We need money. We need money for.
Speaker 1: Only children.
Speaker 11: That's a recruiting process.
Speaker 2: Bart Yea considering this complete clown show. Peter haig Seth
Speaker 2: absolutely owned that hearing. Why do the left love this
Speaker 2: performative and theatrical chaos so much?
Speaker 1: It's so funny.
Speaker 12: You know, all of these people who are angry about
Speaker 12: a policy that he would have no power over or
Speaker 12: control over if he was confirmed as head of DoD
Speaker 12: just completely irrelevant. And you're so right about the performativity
Speaker 12: of it. I believe many of those protesters were from
Speaker 12: Code Pink, which just shows up and says the same
Speaker 12: stuff over and over, irregardless of you know what the
Speaker 12: event is. He really handled himself very well. I thought
Speaker 12: he was very respectful, including to the Democratic senators, some
Speaker 12: of whom were very aggressive in their questioning of him.
Speaker 12: I do think there was one missed opportunity, which is
Speaker 12: Elizabeth Warren brought up that he has said, I think
Speaker 12: quite rightly that generals should not be allowed to take
Speaker 12: positions in the private sector in the defense industry for
Speaker 12: ten years after they resign, and she asked him, well,
Speaker 12: would you hold yourself to that same standard, and his
Speaker 12: answer was well, I'm not a general, which many people
Speaker 12: laughed at. But honestly, that was a moment I thought
Speaker 12: for a little bit of populist bipartisanship, why not say,
Speaker 12: of course, as head of DoD, I would be in
Speaker 12: a position to be corrupted if I didn't make that
Speaker 12: scene promise. I wish he had done that, But aside
Speaker 12: from that, I thought his performance was really impeccable. Of Course,
Speaker 12: his wife was sitting there supporting him, and he really
Speaker 12: acquitted himself with a lot of dignity.
Speaker 1: I completely agree.
Speaker 2: He was being hounded by these senators and every answer.
Speaker 1: He gave was so poised. While they were.
Speaker 2: Banging on the tables, they were carrying on, so I
Speaker 2: actually think he did exceptionally well under the circumstances. Now,
Speaker 2: Bartia one Earth is happening with the leadership team at
Speaker 2: the City of Los Angeles. First, of course, Mayor Karen
Speaker 2: Bass delivered this rather bizarre and uncomfortable performance when she
Speaker 2: was asked why she trotted off to Ghana in the
Speaker 2: middle of the bushfire crisis.
Speaker 19: Do you, oh citizen's an apology for being absent while
Speaker 19: their homes were burning? Do you regret coming the fire
Speaker 19: department budget by millions of dollars?
Speaker 1: Madam?
Speaker 19: There have you nothing to say today that have you
Speaker 19: absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today? Elon Musk
Speaker 19: says that you're utterly incompetent. Are you considering your position,
Speaker 19: Madam Mayor have you absolutely nothing to say to the
Speaker 19: citizens today who are dealing with this disaster?
Speaker 2: And now we find out that her deputy Mayor, Brian Williams,
Speaker 2: was reportedly placed on administrative leave last month after the
Speaker 2: FBI raided his home in connection to an alleged bomb
Speaker 2: threat he made against city Hall.
Speaker 1: But here this guy was overseeing the La fire department.
Speaker 2: How on earth are these people running the city.
Speaker 12: You know what's so amazing to me is that the
Speaker 12: rank and file firefighters have been able to perform an
Speaker 12: almost inhuman level of competence, saving hundreds and thousands of
Speaker 12: people's lives at a time when this insane act of
Speaker 12: God has burned so much of Los Angeles, and yet
Speaker 12: the leadership is so utterly incompetent. And I think it's
Speaker 12: not just on this front, right, California has become a
Speaker 12: symbol of the broken contract between democratic leadership and the
Speaker 12: voters and the citizens who on a host of issues,
Speaker 12: whether it's homelessness or crime or just a functioning city,
Speaker 12: they look to their leaders and they just see these
Speaker 12: empty suits like Karen Bass or you know, just it's
Speaker 12: what is Gavin Newsom but a good haircut on top
Speaker 12: of a suit, right, I mean, there's just nothing happening there.
Speaker 12: And I really think that, you know, it is both
Speaker 12: the case that anybody would have struggled with a disaster
Speaker 12: of this magnitude and the case that these two have
Speaker 12: come to represent in these moments, just the absolute absence
Speaker 12: of democratic leadership, especially in a place like California.
Speaker 2: Absolutely look for leadership during these times of crisis, and
Speaker 2: my heart goes out to them because there simply is
Speaker 2: no leadership right now. And speaken of, dozens of looters
Speaker 2: have been caught sneaking into ritzy neighborhoods in LA following
Speaker 2: those wildfires. More than forty people have since been named
Speaker 2: and shamed by the Santa Monica Police Department.
Speaker 1: Buttia, how big of an issue is this now?
Speaker 12: Oh gosh, what a horrible, horrible thing to see in
Speaker 12: a moment that should be unifying, and I think really
Speaker 12: has been unifying, because, of course, it looks to us
Speaker 12: that this was a tragedy that struck the very rich,
Speaker 12: because so many movie stars have lost their homes, but
Speaker 12: there were a lot of working class and middle class
Speaker 12: neighborhoods that were also hit very, very hard, and there's
Speaker 12: been a lot of unity in coming together and people
Speaker 12: demanding better on behalf of each other. And they're fellow
Speaker 12: Americans and fellow Californians. And then to see something like this,
Speaker 12: Isn't it just so heartbreaking that there are people who
Speaker 12: would take advantage of us in the weakest, most vulnerable moments.
Speaker 2: No, it's just absolutely awful, awful to hear that this
Speaker 2: is happening. Now, let's move on. Now we've got to
Speaker 2: talk about MSNBC. It really seems as though it keeps
Speaker 2: going downhill for that.
Speaker 1: Liberal lunatic network.
Speaker 2: And of course it's all happening a days before Donald
Speaker 2: Trump returns to the White House. But now it's President
Speaker 2: Rashida Jones has announced that she is stepping down after.
Speaker 1: Four years in the role Bartia.
Speaker 2: Between the failing, the dismal ratings, the crazy hosts who
Speaker 2: are so desperate a restructure, and now they've lost their boss,
Speaker 2: the question has to be asked, what does the future
Speaker 2: hold for MSNBC.
Speaker 12: I have to tell you AMSNBC, you know, getting rid
Speaker 12: of its boss, Mark Zuckerberg, you know, out there with
Speaker 12: the mayor Kolpers. It really makes me sick to my
Speaker 12: stomach because they are out there pretending like they did
Speaker 12: not intentionally try to turn half of the country against
Speaker 12: the other half just because they failed. Now suddenly they're saying,
Speaker 12: we're going to turn over a new leaf. We're going
Speaker 12: to do the right thing. They are just following the vibes.
Speaker 12: They are just following the winds and bowing to pressure again.
Speaker 12: Now it happens to be pressure to the people who
Speaker 12: have always wanted what's best for this country, bowing to
Speaker 12: pressure to people who want to unify the country. But
Speaker 12: don't for a second believe that these people have anything
Speaker 12: but a profit motive at stake here. They're not doing
Speaker 12: this because they've had to come to Jesus moment. Whatever
Speaker 12: they say, they're doing this because the country has turned
Speaker 12: against the divisiveness of progressive politics, and so they're now
Speaker 12: trying to ride the wave. And what is that wave.
Speaker 12: It's the unity that President Trump has brought with him
Speaker 12: by unifying the working class in this country. And on
Speaker 12: the one end, yeah, it's great that they're going to
Speaker 12: stop calling everybody recess and stop calling everybody names and
Speaker 12: stop trying to demonize people as Nazis and as Hitler.
Speaker 12: But on the other hand, it's going to be a
Speaker 12: long road to build back the trust that they squandered
Speaker 12: when they really tried to turn Americans against each other.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and while they persist with these crazy hosts like
Speaker 2: the Joyless Joy read realistically that there is no hope
Speaker 2: for MSNBC, seriously, that they're just a joke of a network. Now, Bartia,
Speaker 2: the leftist DC mayor, has distanced herself from an anti
Speaker 2: Trump ad displaying the city's official logos keep DC Trash Free.
Speaker 1: As you can see, this ad reads.
Speaker 2: Featuring a MAGA hat wearing man holding a copy of
Speaker 2: Project twenty twenty five with a red line through his head,
Speaker 2: and the logos for the district of Columbia Department of
Speaker 2: Public Works and the Mayor's Office of the City Clean Program. Now,
Speaker 2: the Mayor's office has since claimed that they had no
Speaker 2: part in creating or authorizing this ad.
Speaker 1: But Bartia, it's quite.
Speaker 2: Incredible that something like this could have ever been produced in.
Speaker 1: The first place.
Speaker 2: It says plenty about what sort of a place DC
Speaker 2: has become.
Speaker 12: Oh absolutely, And if this had happened four years ago
Speaker 12: or eight years ago, she probably would have been taking
Speaker 12: credit for it.
Speaker 1: Right. This is how you see.
Speaker 12: That we're really in a new moment, and I'm so
Speaker 12: grateful for it.
Speaker 1: You do see people.
Speaker 12: On the left trying to distance themselves from just the
Speaker 12: absolutely toxic rhetoric around Donald Trump over the last decade.
Speaker 12: I think they've been really chastened by their voters. And
Speaker 12: there are people who want to say, Okay, how can
Speaker 12: we make our way back to the center, how can
Speaker 12: we once again represent working class voters? Whether they want
Speaker 12: to hear the answer to that question is a very
Speaker 12: different story.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a very different story. But Jay, it
Speaker 2: just speaks volumes, doesn't it.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: Look, you mentioned the inauguration. We're already days away from it.
Speaker 2: It couldn't come soon enough, finally we're at that pointy end.
Speaker 2: But I'm going to ask you about these reports that
Speaker 2: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg will all be
Speaker 2: in attendance with a prominent spot at that ceremony. Bartie,
Speaker 2: I mean, these tech CEOs, they've always really been rivals,
Speaker 2: but now they're all on the same side in a way.
Speaker 1: What does that suggest in your view?
Speaker 12: All right, I may be reading too much into this,
Speaker 12: but to me, this actually looks like a little bit
Speaker 12: of a downgrading of Elon Musk, who has of course
Speaker 12: been Donald Trump's, you know, number two since he won
Speaker 12: the election. He's in every photo, He's next to him
Speaker 12: at Maro Lago all the time.
Speaker 1: But at the.
Speaker 12: Inauguration he's going to be seated along with every other
Speaker 12: tech titan who paid a million dollars toward Trump's transition team.
Speaker 12: And I have to say I feel relieved to see that, because,
Speaker 12: of course you have all of these people now bending
Speaker 12: thenee to Trump, trying to ingratiate themselves, people like Jeff
Speaker 12: Bezos and Zuckerberg who were so anti Trump for so
Speaker 12: but I am glad to see Elon Musk put back
Speaker 12: in his place. That is where he belongs. You know,
Speaker 12: he has a very close relationship with China, like everybody
Speaker 12: in Silicon Valley, is constantly bending the knee to China
Speaker 12: and to China's demands, And so I feel a little
Speaker 12: bit relieved to see him put back in the company
Speaker 12: of those others, so that Donald Trump can make good
Speaker 12: on his promises to the American people in his real
Speaker 12: America first push on issues like immigration, which of course
Speaker 12: the Maga Movement and Elon Musk have been at loggerheads over,
Speaker 12: and also punishing China for all of the ways in
Speaker 12: which it continues to be our greatest adversary.
Speaker 2: That's a really good point. It's certainly putting them back
Speaker 2: in their place, that's for sure. Now, look, let's talk
Speaker 2: about TikTok, because there have been reports that Chinese officials
Speaker 2: were in preliminary talks about a potential option to sell
Speaker 2: TikTok's operations in the US too Elon Musk should the
Speaker 2: app be unable to avoid an.
Speaker 1: Impending ban over there. TikTok has since dismissed that. Bartia,
Speaker 1: what do you think could happen here?
Speaker 2: It's very interesting to me because there are over one
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy million users in the US alone, many
Speaker 2: of whom who have built platforms and businesses. They're making
Speaker 2: money now from this app.
Speaker 1: It's so popular.
Speaker 2: If Alon Musk doesn't step in and buy it, is.
Speaker 1: It really the end in the US?
Speaker 12: I think it might be. The Chinese have indicated that
Speaker 12: they would rather completely delete the app than sell it.
Speaker 12: I think it's very interesting if it does go to
Speaker 12: Elon Musk. What that says again about his relationship with China,
Speaker 12: because they would rather delete the app than allow an
Speaker 12: American to buy it. Except Elon Musk, right, which tells
Speaker 12: you a lot about that relationship with the CCP. But okay,
Speaker 12: they're denying it for now. They're not known for telling
Speaker 12: the truth. I do think that it could happen that
Speaker 12: TikTok will simply disappear from our phones. It presents a
Speaker 12: major national security risk. The Chinese are constantly constantly stealing
Speaker 12: data off.
Speaker 1: Of people's phones.
Speaker 12: It's also very unhealthy for children. We know that there
Speaker 12: are kids who committed suicide because the algorithm on TikTok
Speaker 12: led them down that dark road. And most importantly, the
Speaker 12: Chinese don't allow their own children to use this, which
Speaker 12: tells you a lot about how they think it impacts children.
Speaker 12: They have their own Chinese version, which is incredibly educational
Speaker 12: and very boring. Apparently it's impossible to stay on it
Speaker 12: for more than twenty minutes without getting born out of
Speaker 12: your mind and shutting out of it. So I think
Speaker 12: it could either sell it to an American or get
Speaker 12: rid of it. Selling it to Elon Musk is like
Speaker 12: allowing the Chinese to keep operating it in my opinion.
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, fair enough. I'll be very curious.
Speaker 2: I know there's a lot of TikTok uses over the
Speaker 2: US who are crying over this decision, but yeah, it
Speaker 2: remains to be seen, doesn't it.
Speaker 1: Now? Before we let you go.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of conversation surrounding a ceasefire deal between
Speaker 2: Israel and Hamas Bartiya.
Speaker 1: How would something like this benefit to Israel?
Speaker 12: So Israelis are very divided on this because they feel
Speaker 12: that the deal is it's very complicated. On the one hand,
Speaker 12: they're going to get back thirty three highsages, not all
Speaker 12: of them are alive, but they will get back a
Speaker 12: lot of all of the remaining women, including the women's
Speaker 12: soldiers who were horrifically horrifically captured by HEMS. So this
Speaker 12: is obviously a huge win. On the other hand, they
Speaker 12: feel that they will not be allowed to continue prosecuting
Speaker 12: the war to the full, fullest extent. I think this
Speaker 12: is a great deal. I think Donald Trump knew exactly
Speaker 12: what he was doing when he puts Steve Witkoff in
Speaker 12: charge of this, Steve Whitcoff, who showed up and said
Speaker 12: to b B Natanyao, We're going to do this President
Speaker 12: Trump's way, and he wants those hostages released, and so
Speaker 12: you're gonna have to say hello. And then Steve Witkoff
Speaker 12: went to Qatar, where he has a really good relationship
Speaker 12: with the Qataris, and managed to get Hemas to the table.
Speaker 12: So I think, first of all, it's a great deal
Speaker 12: to see those girls home in the arms of their
Speaker 12: fathers and mothers. I cannot wait for the moment. I
Speaker 12: don't think Donald Trump is going to allow Israel to
Speaker 12: be in a weak position visa Vihmas. I think that
Speaker 12: he will reward them for doing this, And I think
Speaker 12: that this is an example of what we can expect
Speaker 12: from Donald Trump's foreign policy. More broadly, he is the
Speaker 12: deal maker. He knows how to make the Middle East
Speaker 12: do what he thinks it should do. My friend said
Speaker 12: Jalani says, Donald Trump is kind of like a Gulf Arab.
Speaker 12: You know, he sends his son in law and his
Speaker 12: you know, Orthodox Jews and you know, rich developers to
Speaker 12: go over there and push his interests and get a
Speaker 12: good deal. And you know that's what he did. And
Speaker 12: he's not even president yet. There was one of the
Speaker 12: Arab officials in Doha gave an interview and he said
Speaker 12: Donald Trump, through Steve Whitkoff, got more done in one
Speaker 12: conversation with Natanyahu than Biden did in the two years
Speaker 12: since October seventh. And I think that just speaks volumes.
Speaker 12: Thank God Barhashem. We are in a new era and
Speaker 12: I truly hope that you know, all of those people
Speaker 12: come home, that the families who's who's whose hostages, family
Speaker 12: members who are hostages are dead, get their body so
Speaker 12: they can give them a proper burial and they should
Speaker 12: never ever happen again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we all hope and pray for the same.
Speaker 2: At our Unga Sagan always really great to speak with you.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for joining us on the show.
Speaker 2: This evening still to come. Women's sports delivered a major
Speaker 2: win after a bill to prevent biological men from competing
Speaker 2: past the United States House of Representatives. Stephanie Bastian will
Speaker 2: join me next to some great news in the US,
Speaker 2: A bill preventing transgender women from competing in female sports
Speaker 2: at schools across the country has passed through the House
Speaker 2: of Representatives. It's clear that Trump effect is well and
Speaker 2: truly in swing. Joining me now is Women's Forum Australia's
Speaker 2: head of advocacy, Stephanie Bastian. Stephanie, thanks for joining me
Speaker 2: explaining the significance of this decision to us.
Speaker 4: Great to join you, Danika. This is absolutely wonderful. This
Speaker 4: really compliments the decision last week by the courts to
Speaker 4: overturn Title nine, which is a piece of legislation that
Speaker 4: was introduced to protect women in education settings and to
Speaker 4: protect them from discrimination on campus. What this legislation, What
Speaker 4: this bill will do if it passes through the Senate's
Speaker 4: still got to go through there yet. It will entrench
Speaker 4: into law protection for women in sports. It will ensure
Speaker 4: that male competitors who identify as women can't invade these
Speaker 4: sports and.
Speaker 1: Take their places.
Speaker 4: It will reduce women from the risk of injury and
Speaker 4: harm overall, it's a wonderful piece of legislation. It's something
Speaker 4: that we actually need here in Australia as well. Claire
Speaker 4: Chandler has a bill, the Save Women's Sports Bill, and
Speaker 4: I really hope it gets some attention, particularly in the
Speaker 4: lead up to the election, because we know that women
Speaker 4: in Australia are being harmed by these policies, particularly in
Speaker 4: a community setting where they're prioritizing diversity and inclusion of
Speaker 4: a fairness and safety.
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
Speaker 2: So this is a wake up call to Australia because
Speaker 2: we've got a lot of problems when it comes to
Speaker 2: these issues down under. Now, look, we should all be
Speaker 2: very concerned about the indoctrination of children in classrooms into
Speaker 2: this woke gender ideology, but have a look at this.
Speaker 2: Over in the US, Sarah McBride is the first transgender
Speaker 2: member of Congress. She was participating in a Jazz and
Speaker 2: Friends National Day of School and Community Readings, which provides
Speaker 2: trainings and resources for elementary school educators to help quote
Speaker 2: welcome diverse families, create LGBTQ and gender inclusive schools, prevent
Speaker 2: bias based bullying, and support transgender and non binary students.
Speaker 1: Have a look at this.
Speaker 16: I have a girl Green, but a boy Bardy.
Speaker 1: This is called.
Speaker 2: Transgender, Stephanie. This is an absolute disgrace. They had children
Speaker 2: and they're being exposed to woke gender ideology already, and
Speaker 2: yet once again they claim it's all done under the
Speaker 2: banner of inclusivity.
Speaker 1: Where does it end.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I mean, this is a classic example of the
Speaker 4: harmful indoctrination that is being done to kids. It's not
Speaker 4: only in doctrination, it's factually incorrect. Well, I think the
Speaker 4: American government needs to do is they need to look
Speaker 4: at organizations like the American Library Association and all the
Speaker 4: work programs that they're running. They've canceled Laura Ingles Wilder
Speaker 4: over her historic recordings of American history through her literacy,
Speaker 4: They've promote diversity inclusion programs which are very woke, and
Speaker 4: they need to strip the funding from these organizations. And
Speaker 4: this is something we actually need to do in Australia too.
Speaker 4: The only reason organizations like AKON are being propped up
Speaker 4: and their subsidiary organizations through their education programs at schools
Speaker 4: and in libraries is because of the millions of dollars
Speaker 4: being poured into them. By taxpayer funds. Let the private
Speaker 4: sector decide if they want to fund these organizations, but
Speaker 4: it shouldn't be coming from the public person has to stop.
Speaker 2: It does look we're almost out of time, but very quickly.
Speaker 2: A teenager has been granted permission to access cross sex
Speaker 2: hormones despite a family court judge in Australia conceding that
Speaker 2: there are risks associated with the treatment. I find this baffling, Stephanie.
Speaker 2: I mean, if there are risks, I give it to
Speaker 2: a teenager.
Speaker 4: It's absolutely devastating for the child that's involved. But the
Speaker 4: judgment noted that they gave great weight to the National
Speaker 4: Standards of Care, which is being pushed by w PATH
Speaker 4: in conjunction with OSPAK, both discredited organizations in this field.
Speaker 4: It's being promoted by activists. What we need, Kderanekia, is
Speaker 4: we need to have an inquiry, a national inquiry, because
Speaker 4: it's wrong that these judges are making decisions on this
Speaker 4: outdated information. Kudos to the parents that are in court fighting,
Speaker 4: putting their time and money in line to save their children,
Speaker 4: but they shouldn't have to. And with what we know overseas,
Speaker 4: with the findings of the CAST review and the international
Speaker 4: community moving away from the gender affirmation model. It is
Speaker 4: totally unacceptable that in twenty twenty five these decisions are
Speaker 4: still being made and we haven't had a national inquiry.
Speaker 1: I completely agree with you. It's an absolute disgrace.
Speaker 2: Stephanie Bastian, good to speak with you.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much for joining me this evening. Well
Speaker 1: that's it for me. Up next is news Night. Good
Speaker 1: Night
Speaker 6: Mm hm
