<v Speaker 1>On scorn Lands Ostrodia. This is the Wider Panalty Show.

0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Good evening and welcome to the readA Panety show coming

0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:16.200
<v Speaker 1>up tonight. Did Scomo deserve his King's Birthday honor? As

0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:19.799
<v Speaker 1>the former PM gives some sage words of advice to

0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:23.279
<v Speaker 1>the coalition, Dan While will be here to unpack all that.

0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:27.520
<v Speaker 1>We'll also look at Jackie Lamby's colorful advice to the

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:32.080
<v Speaker 1>AFL as the Tasmanian senator implores the league to find

0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:36.199
<v Speaker 1>its snackers. Professor Implymer will join me to discuss Australia's

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 1>international reputation being damaged by overregulation. Corey DeAngelis will have

0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:44.360
<v Speaker 1>all the latest from the US, and later in the

0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:48.080
<v Speaker 1>hour Gap Power joins me to cover everything from the

0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:52.360
<v Speaker 1>aftermath of Elon Musk's meltdown to the latest on Greta

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Thumberg's ill fated trip to Gaza and left He's losing.

0:00:56.240 --> 0:01:06.560
<v Speaker 1>It is all about the rights in LA but first

0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 1>good Morrison has been awarded a Companion of the Order

0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:13.800
<v Speaker 1>of Australia and the King's Birthday Honors for his leadership

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 1>of the nation's COVID nineteen response. The former PM had

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:20.400
<v Speaker 1>some words of advice for the Coalition to told The

0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Australian newspaper that since COVID we've become more focused on

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 1>treating the symptoms than treating the cause in policy, and

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:31.040
<v Speaker 1>that's obviously a mantle for the Coalition to take up now.

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 1>He also said that liberals need to realize that it's

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 1>not just about being responsible financial managers. You can't just

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 1>say oh, we're going to balance the budget. Well, what

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 1>does that mean? How is that helping me? How does

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 1>that address the opportunities that I have joining me now

0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.480
<v Speaker 1>for more on this As Deputy Executive Director of the

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Institute of Public Affairs, Dan Wild, Dan, this King's Birthday On,

0:01:56.720 --> 0:02:00.200
<v Speaker 1>let's start with that. Is it deserved or not? Which

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:04.880
<v Speaker 1>given Australias some would say extreme COVID response.

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's deserved in this particular instance reach

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.520
<v Speaker 2>or at least for what it was provided for. I

0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:13.800
<v Speaker 2>do think it's right that the birthday on has acknowledged

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.840
<v Speaker 2>those who have given significant public service, and Scott Morrison

0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 2>has certainly done that. But to specify that it be

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 2>made for the COVID nineteen response, I think really diminishes

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:28.959
<v Speaker 2>the value of that honor's list because our COVID nineteen

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 2>response was a complete and total disaster. It was a

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:36.240
<v Speaker 2>case study in everything not to do, both at the

0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 2>federal level and the state level. Although I will give

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.680
<v Speaker 2>one bit of credit, which was when the federal government

0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 2>did close the borders internationally very early on in twenty twenty,

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:48.360
<v Speaker 2>which was the right move, But everything that came after

0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.320
<v Speaker 2>that was the wrong thing, including handing out billions of

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 2>dollars to Daniel Andrews to shut down the state of

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 2>Victoria and lock up millions of Victorians for the longest

0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:02.120
<v Speaker 2>time of any jurisdiction in the world. So look, I

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 2>think that Scott Morrison would probably benefit from the idea

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 2>of dignified silence, you know, rather than trying to wait

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:08.799
<v Speaker 2>into these debates.

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Yes, the National Cabinet, I think ended up being a

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:18.240
<v Speaker 1>disastrous idea and the fact that the premiers were so

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.640
<v Speaker 1>emboldened and there was no pushback from the federal government,

0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 1>no pushback from Scott Morrison to some of the extreme

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 1>measures they were taking, and not just extreme in limiting

0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:31.919
<v Speaker 1>people's freedoms, but just the economic carnage. We have seen

0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 1>the harm done to young kids. The list is long,

0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.080
<v Speaker 1>as you know. But what do you make of his

0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 1>advice to the Liberals that they have to be more

0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 1>than just sound economic managers. I mean it's the sort

0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 1>of advice that I wish he'd given himself when he

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.680
<v Speaker 1>was PM, because as you may well recall, he was

0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:55.000
<v Speaker 1>famous for saying there's no jobs in the culture wars

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 1>and he was really kind of absent from some of

0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 1>those important debates that are centered around values. Well, that's right.

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:08.160
<v Speaker 2>I think that you know, Scott Morrison's comments lacked credibility,

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, on the economy as well as on culture

0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 2>as he mentioned, but on the economy. Don't forget he

0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 2>was the Prime Minister who, along with Josh Fredenberg, signed

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:17.840
<v Speaker 2>Australia up to net zero. I mean, one of the

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:22.159
<v Speaker 2>most economically illiterate policies that we've ever seen as a nation.

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 2>And the reason they signed up to it was actually

0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 2>to save Josh Freidenberg's seat. Well how did that work out?

0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, it didn't work out politically and it's been

0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 2>a disaster for our economy, for our society, regional Australia,

0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.200
<v Speaker 2>as well as undermining our national security because it makes

0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 2>us more dependent upon the imports of solar panels and

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.840
<v Speaker 2>wind turbines, the majority of which come from China. So

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.560
<v Speaker 2>no matter which element you look at, net net zero

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:50.799
<v Speaker 2>has been a complete disaster for Australia. So you know, again,

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 2>I respect anybody who's engaged in public service in you know,

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.720
<v Speaker 2>including Scott Morrison who's put their hand up and had

0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:58.400
<v Speaker 2>their name on a ballot and given it a go.

0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.640
<v Speaker 2>But really I think she's opening on this matter. Does

0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:04.719
<v Speaker 2>lack credibility?

0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:09.039
<v Speaker 1>Now re elected Tasmanian Senator Jackie Lamby has lashed out

0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:12.520
<v Speaker 1>of the AFL. She had some choice words for AFL

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:16.240
<v Speaker 1>CEO Andrew Dylan and Tasmanian Devil's boss Brendan Gailees and

0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 1>to Lamby met with the duo and left the meeting

0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:23.280
<v Speaker 1>very unimpressed Dan. She said the AFL is going down

0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:27.800
<v Speaker 1>the gurglar and needs new leaders with some knackers between

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:31.680
<v Speaker 1>their legs. She also said I'd built myself up and

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.000
<v Speaker 1>was ready to go, thinking I was going to have

0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:36.919
<v Speaker 1>to take on an Eddie McGuire type thing, and it

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:40.680
<v Speaker 1>was like walking into a sauna. Here, everyone, get your

0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:45.240
<v Speaker 1>towel wrapped around you. Let's have some fuzzy wuzzy time. Jesus,

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:49.039
<v Speaker 1>this should have been united this should have united Tasmania,

0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:52.320
<v Speaker 1>but instead it has ripped us apart. She also said

0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:55.120
<v Speaker 1>they need a hard man at the top, somebody with

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:59.400
<v Speaker 1>some knackers between their legs. Christ Almighty, these are all

0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:01.520
<v Speaker 1>direct quote. By the way, I'm not at living here

0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:04.600
<v Speaker 1>at all. She also said someone better go back in

0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:08.080
<v Speaker 1>there that's got some balls between their legs, because there

0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.479
<v Speaker 1>is some shit going on in there that needs to

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:17.279
<v Speaker 1>be fixed. To put aside the colorful language, does she

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:21.720
<v Speaker 1>have a point about the AFL and it's a Tasmania strategy.

0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:27.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure I quite follow the sauna analogy there that,

0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.120
<v Speaker 2>you know. Putting that aside, I think that I think,

0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:34.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, Senator Lamby's assessment of the leadership of the

0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:37.680
<v Speaker 2>AFL is correct. The AFL has been lacking in leadership

0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.760
<v Speaker 2>for a very long time. She said that going down

0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:42.840
<v Speaker 2>the gurgler, well, I think they've will have truly gone

0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.479
<v Speaker 2>down the gurgler in many ways, not just with the

0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:49.599
<v Speaker 2>handling of the Tasmania situation, but maybe years ago, the

0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:52.919
<v Speaker 2>AFL gave up being a real sporting code and basically

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:57.039
<v Speaker 2>became a you know that, I guess a wing of

0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.719
<v Speaker 2>the Labor Party in essence by promoting you know, the

0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:03.600
<v Speaker 2>labor parties to visit social agendas and supporting you know,

0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:06.280
<v Speaker 2>the Voice to Parliament and various other forms of activism,

0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.520
<v Speaker 2>and having a welcome to country ceremony before pretty much

0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 2>every AFL match, and dividing the AFL community. Also acting

0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:17.120
<v Speaker 2>in a way that's inconsistent with what fans want, you know.

0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:20.240
<v Speaker 2>For example, fans don't want the rules to be changed

0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:23.080
<v Speaker 2>every year. They want to bring back state of origin,

0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:26.200
<v Speaker 2>they want to keep the AFL Grand Final for Saturday afternoon,

0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.800
<v Speaker 2>not moving it to the evening, and various other things.

0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:33.200
<v Speaker 2>So basically everything that the AFL community wants, AFL Headquarters

0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 2>opposes and does the complete opposite thing. So I think,

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:40.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, putting aside Senator Lamby's you know, somewhat ambiguous metaphors,

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:43.400
<v Speaker 2>I think that her assessment of the massive failures of

0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:45.680
<v Speaker 2>corporate AFL is bang on.

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Now, global sportswear giant NIGI has decided to end it's

0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:56.520
<v Speaker 1>one hundred thousand dollars ambassadorial partnership with former Stralien of

0:07:56.520 --> 0:08:00.320
<v Speaker 1>the Year Grace Tame after she posted some radical left

0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:05.040
<v Speaker 1>content online attacking supporters of Israel and platforming some really

0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:12.000
<v Speaker 1>quite disturbing views her maas sympathizers. Essentially. Reportedly of particular

0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:15.160
<v Speaker 1>concern to the brand was Tame's decision to repost a

0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:19.640
<v Speaker 1>statement from Palestinian writer Mohammad L. Kurd, As reported by

0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:23.480
<v Speaker 1>the Australian newspaper. El Kerd's statement appeared to condone the

0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:27.200
<v Speaker 1>murder of two Israeli embassy officials in Washington and angrily

0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:30.800
<v Speaker 1>attacked journalists who reported that the slayings were an act

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.760
<v Speaker 1>of anti Semitism. He wrote, the media class is scrambling

0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:38.480
<v Speaker 1>to reframe the shooting that targeted to Israeli state officials

0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.880
<v Speaker 1>as a random anti Semitic attack, even though it was

0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:46.440
<v Speaker 1>undeniably and by the alleged shooter's own admission, a response

0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:50.080
<v Speaker 1>to the ongoing Israeli assault on Gaza, which killed one

0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 1>hundred and seven Palestinians in the last twenty four hours alone. Dan,

0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:58.240
<v Speaker 1>this is quite a significant move by Nike. That've always

0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:01.439
<v Speaker 1>been more for a long time anyhow, been very left

0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:04.319
<v Speaker 1>in their political messaging, in their ads. They're not afraid

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:08.600
<v Speaker 1>to be divisive. But Grace Tame was too far left

0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:09.600
<v Speaker 1>even for Nike.

0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:13.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's right, reader. I think we might have talked

0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:16.440
<v Speaker 2>about this last week when it looked like Nike was

0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:19.040
<v Speaker 2>going to dump the sponsorship, and now they've done that.

0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:22.000
<v Speaker 2>And look, I think this is an important decision by

0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Nike to draw a line in the sand and say that,

0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:26.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, there's certain forms of activism that they're not

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:31.200
<v Speaker 2>going to tolerate. And you know, again, as I've said previously,

0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:33.240
<v Speaker 2>I think that it's a shame because a lot of

0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:37.280
<v Speaker 2>what Grace Tame was representing and advocating for in terms

0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:41.080
<v Speaker 2>of domestic violence and abuse of women. It's a very

0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:44.320
<v Speaker 2>important issue that should be used to unite the community

0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:47.599
<v Speaker 2>behind that important cause. But you know, when some of

0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:51.480
<v Speaker 2>these advocates end up engaging in social activism, they have

0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:54.120
<v Speaker 2>the effect of diminishing the couse that it is that

0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:57.280
<v Speaker 2>they're standing up for. And I think ultimately Nike really

0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:01.280
<v Speaker 2>had no choice but to severtize. And you know, hopefully

0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:03.040
<v Speaker 2>this sends a bit of a message that if you're

0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:06.200
<v Speaker 2>going to be an advocate for important causes in the community,

0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:08.200
<v Speaker 2>that it's better off that you stay to those causes

0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:12.480
<v Speaker 2>rather than deviating into different political issues that will ultimately

0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 2>divide the community.

0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, talking about deviating from political issues and dividing the community,

0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Greta Thumberg. She's gone from climate change warrior to anti

0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Israeli activist and the IDEA has bordered the ship, the

0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:33.120
<v Speaker 1>boat she was on. They have taken control of the ship.

0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:37.480
<v Speaker 1>The activists have been arrested without resistance, accepting water and

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:40.440
<v Speaker 1>sandwiches from the IDEF. I don't think any of them

0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:44.800
<v Speaker 1>are in any trouble, but this prompted Greta to post

0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:46.360
<v Speaker 1>this pre recorded video.

0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:49.160
<v Speaker 3>My name is give A Chamber and I am from Sweden.

0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:52.400
<v Speaker 3>If you see this video, we have been intercepted and

0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:57.440
<v Speaker 3>kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces or

0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:02.280
<v Speaker 3>forces that support israel I. Urge all my friends, family

0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:06.560
<v Speaker 3>and comrades to put pressure on the Swedish government to

0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:09.560
<v Speaker 3>release me and the others as soon as possible.

0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:13.839
<v Speaker 1>So much Hyperbly kidnapped dad. It hardly looked like a

0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:18.040
<v Speaker 1>kidnapping to me. But what has she achieved with this

0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:21.679
<v Speaker 1>little mission of hers I'm not too sure.

0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:24.920
<v Speaker 2>I assume the sandwiches were vegan options that were available

0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:27.000
<v Speaker 2>to those on board.

0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Plastic wrapped. Oh no, they're wrapped in plastic, Dan, this

0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:32.319
<v Speaker 1>is this is very taping.

0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:32.680
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:34.520
<v Speaker 2>Maybe they won't they won't be able to eat them

0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 2>now as a moral sort of moral virtue. But look,

0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what Greta is trying to achieve. It

0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:44.640
<v Speaker 2>sort of seems a bit old hat now. I'm not

0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:48.800
<v Speaker 2>too sure how seriously she's she's sort of taken. You know,

0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.600
<v Speaker 2>I've often wondered whether she's you know, a bit of

0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:55.760
<v Speaker 2>a front for you know, those who are more motivated

0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.280
<v Speaker 2>to try to do something. But you know, you just

0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:02.520
<v Speaker 2>look at it and think, well, she's still quite young. Yeah, Look,

0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:04.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm not too sure what she's trying to achieve by

0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:04.520
<v Speaker 2>doing this.

0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:10.320
<v Speaker 1>I think her power is pretty much diminished. The way

0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:12.600
<v Speaker 1>she was used by a tool by others when she

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:16.160
<v Speaker 1>was a child doesn't apply anymore because they would yes

0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:19.400
<v Speaker 1>have her at the forefront of these causes, and you

0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:22.720
<v Speaker 1>couldn't criticize her because she was a child after all,

0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:27.640
<v Speaker 1>so you couldn't actually even dispute some of the nonsense

0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:31.080
<v Speaker 1>she was saying. And once she turned eighteen, that change,

0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:34.080
<v Speaker 1>once she became an adult and you could actually hold

0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.760
<v Speaker 1>her to account as you would any other activists. I

0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 1>think that has really seen her power and influence diminish somewhat. Dad.

0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:46.360
<v Speaker 1>While it's always a pleasure. Thanks for your time joining

0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:49.760
<v Speaker 1>me now is a esteem geologist and author, Professor Ian

0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:54.880
<v Speaker 1>plymer Ian. Let's start with energy expert Soul Cavanick. He's

0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:58.719
<v Speaker 1>written in The Australian that an anti investment ideology has

0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:03.160
<v Speaker 1>taken hold, meaning that we now have a reputation of

0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:08.520
<v Speaker 1>over regulation and of finding excuses to say no to projects.

0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:13.319
<v Speaker 1>He writes, we have become so accustomed to politicize delays

0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:17.439
<v Speaker 1>and cancelations of projects we're surprised when a project is approved.

0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Common sense is now being cherished as the exception rather

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:25.160
<v Speaker 1>than the rule. The seven year delay to an approval

0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:29.520
<v Speaker 1>that always should and would ultimately be given is the problem.

0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Investors have to ask themselves if they should even bother

0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.800
<v Speaker 1>trying to invest in Australia if they have to wait

0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:38.720
<v Speaker 1>this long just to know if their investment is welcome.

0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:42.320
<v Speaker 1>This is why the next wave of gas investments is

0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:45.800
<v Speaker 1>happening in the US and the Middle East instead of

0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:51.000
<v Speaker 1>here in Is he being too harsh now? We just

0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:56.320
<v Speaker 1>being careful in protecting the natural environment in having these

0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:57.560
<v Speaker 1>regulations in place.

0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.679
<v Speaker 4>Well, I think he's absolutely on the money. Investors want

0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.800
<v Speaker 4>to make a profit while they're doing that. They employ people,

0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:10.120
<v Speaker 4>they pay taxes, they pay royalties, they add infrastructure, and

0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:16.120
<v Speaker 4>no investor worries about having to fulfill certain approvals. This

0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:19.200
<v Speaker 4>is done for the community good and for the environment.

0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:22.680
<v Speaker 4>But this has got absolutely and totally out of hand.

0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:27.960
<v Speaker 4>For example, in the Pilborough, to build the roy Hill

0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:31.200
<v Speaker 4>iron ore mine in an iron ore mining district, in

0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:34.920
<v Speaker 4>an iron ore mining state, in an iron ore mining country,

0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:39.520
<v Speaker 4>four thousand, nine hundred and fifty approvals were needed. That

0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:44.160
<v Speaker 4>costs hundreds of millions of dollars, That costs years of delays.

0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:47.240
<v Speaker 4>And this is at a time when our country has

0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:51.680
<v Speaker 4>low productivity, when the unions are capitalizing on having a

0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:54.680
<v Speaker 4>labor government, so they're getting more muscle in the Pilborough.

0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:55.760
<v Speaker 1>And then of.

0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:59.600
<v Speaker 4>Course a government's in debt and they will think, Hm,

0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:06.120
<v Speaker 4>we've stolen all this super money with unrealized capital gains.

0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:08.880
<v Speaker 4>Maybe we could do that with a mine. Maybe we

0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:12.000
<v Speaker 4>could steal the profits before they're made. And so as

0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:15.800
<v Speaker 4>an investor you think, well, why should I invest in Australia.

0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:20.240
<v Speaker 4>Why not investing in Africa? And in the case of gas,

0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:23.640
<v Speaker 4>just the time to get the approvals and the conditions

0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:27.080
<v Speaker 4>on those approvals make it a very very long and

0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:31.040
<v Speaker 4>expensive process. So what has happened now is we've had

0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:35.160
<v Speaker 4>a massive drop in investment in Australia. We have eighty

0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:39.240
<v Speaker 4>mining projects that are now on hold. No one dares

0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:41.600
<v Speaker 4>go ahead with them because you don't know what the

0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:46.320
<v Speaker 4>future holds, and mining requires a very long term stability.

0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:50.360
<v Speaker 4>If I have a geological idea, by the time that

0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:54.040
<v Speaker 4>idea is drilled out and we do the feasibility studies

0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:57.320
<v Speaker 4>and build a mind, it's twenty five years and then

0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.920
<v Speaker 4>you need another twenty five years of production to pay

0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:03.680
<v Speaker 4>that back. So you cannot have governments having knee jerk

0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:08.520
<v Speaker 4>reactions because investment money is very fickle. It'll just move

0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:11.920
<v Speaker 4>somewhere else, and it'll move to countries which we regard

0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:15.840
<v Speaker 4>as very very high risk. But Australia, unfortunately is one

0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.520
<v Speaker 4>of the high risk countries of the world, and it's

0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:22.800
<v Speaker 4>getting worse. So I'm not surprised. I think the comments

0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:27.480
<v Speaker 4>were fairly restrained, and those of us in the mining

0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:30.840
<v Speaker 4>industry they full well that there are better places to

0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:32.240
<v Speaker 4>invest money than Australia.

0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, right now the Trump administration is turbocharging mining projects

0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.480
<v Speaker 1>over there. They want to not just become energy independent,

0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:46.240
<v Speaker 1>but become an energy superpower. Is that going to put

0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:51.560
<v Speaker 1>even more pressure for Australia because we've got investors that

0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:53.960
<v Speaker 1>can opt for America instead of US. They don't even

0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:56.680
<v Speaker 1>have to go to Africa or South America.

0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:00.840
<v Speaker 4>Well, that's very much the case. There are for Australian

0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:03.760
<v Speaker 4>companies who are looking at oil and gas in the

0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:07.600
<v Speaker 4>US simply because it's too risky in Australia. There are

0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:10.440
<v Speaker 4>quite a few companies that are looking at downline process

0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:14.479
<v Speaker 4>in the US rather than doing it in Australia. Why

0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:17.560
<v Speaker 4>because energy is cheap and if you do not have

0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:21.040
<v Speaker 4>cheap energy and do not have reliable energy for a

0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:25.000
<v Speaker 4>long period of time, you cannot have a manufacturing industry.

0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:28.159
<v Speaker 4>So the whole of the economy in the US is

0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:31.520
<v Speaker 4>based on cheap energy. That's why people are flocking there

0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:36.240
<v Speaker 4>to invest. But in Australia we're becoming a renewables powerhouse.

0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:40.640
<v Speaker 4>Energy has got far more expensive, it's unreliable, so why

0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:44.000
<v Speaker 4>invest here. So it's all about the cost of energy,

0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:47.080
<v Speaker 4>and we are having Australian companies that have made money

0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:50.080
<v Speaker 4>in Australia and are now looking at investing that money

0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:52.080
<v Speaker 4>in the US. That shouldn't happen.

0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:56.399
<v Speaker 1>Well, can we be become an renewable superpower? This is

0:17:56.440 --> 0:18:00.359
<v Speaker 1>something Chris Bowen has long talked about, is that the

0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:03.120
<v Speaker 1>alternative here, Well, it's.

0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:07.520
<v Speaker 4>Made as totally and totally dependent upon China. And as

0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:12.120
<v Speaker 4>one of your earlier guests, Dan Wild mentioned, the Chinese

0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:17.320
<v Speaker 4>control our systems for generating wind power, they control our

0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:21.800
<v Speaker 4>systems for generating solar power, they control our transmission systems.

0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:25.600
<v Speaker 4>They could turn off these systems in an instant and

0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:28.320
<v Speaker 4>all of a sudden, we wouldn't have energy. All of

0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:31.840
<v Speaker 4>a sudden, we wouldn't have food being transported to the

0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:35.960
<v Speaker 4>markets and to the cities. So we have lost our

0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:41.040
<v Speaker 4>sovereign security by putting energy in the hands of a

0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:45.840
<v Speaker 4>foreign power. You cannot run a successful country unless you

0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:51.080
<v Speaker 4>have cheap, reliable energy. And what our renewables investment is

0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:55.600
<v Speaker 4>doing is forcing us to have expensive and unreliable energy

0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:58.919
<v Speaker 4>and to be dependent upon someone else. This is a

0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:05.840
<v Speaker 4>terribly dangerous path to go to heren.

0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:07.600
<v Speaker 1>And I've got some good news. The snow season has

0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:11.720
<v Speaker 1>started and despite the warnings we had that Australian kids

0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:14.919
<v Speaker 1>will not see snow, it's going to be a bumper season.

0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:17.960
<v Speaker 1>They're saying it's the best in several years. And at

0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:22.240
<v Speaker 1>the same time we've got Queensland recording temperatures as low

0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:25.920
<v Speaker 1>as half a degree in some areas, residents waking up

0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:29.440
<v Speaker 1>to frost. So we're run out of time in but

0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:34.000
<v Speaker 1>good news for Australian kids, many more years of enjoying, enjoying.

0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:36.920
<v Speaker 1>J Climon, thank you so much for a time.

0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:38.399
<v Speaker 4>Good night, Thank you.

0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:40.840
<v Speaker 1>See that's why we call it climate change. Now we've

0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:44.240
<v Speaker 1>got to call it climate change, not global warming. They

0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:47.720
<v Speaker 1>give you a time, professor, good night, Thank you. Still

0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:51.120
<v Speaker 1>to come, Left is losing it, plus the latest from

0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:56.840
<v Speaker 1>the US, including the lawless protests in California Forridangelis is

0:19:56.920 --> 0:20:08.639
<v Speaker 1>up next. You're watching the reader Panning You show, and

0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:12.720
<v Speaker 1>it's time for Left is losing it and the Democrats

0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:17.080
<v Speaker 1>and their radical, violent wing are reminding the world tonight.

0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Why Donald Trump won the election in a landslide, winning

0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:23.760
<v Speaker 1>every swing state, the popular vote, and the all important

0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:27.479
<v Speaker 1>Electoral College with a massive margin of three hundred and

0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:30.920
<v Speaker 1>twelve to two hundred and twenty six votes. And the

0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:34.520
<v Speaker 1>heart of Trump's America First agenda was ending the illegal

0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:40.119
<v Speaker 1>immigration crisis and deporting the millions who flooded in illegally

0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:43.919
<v Speaker 1>in recent years. And you will not find a better

0:20:44.000 --> 0:21:16.480
<v Speaker 1>ad for that policy than the scenes in LA right now. Yes,

0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:21.199
<v Speaker 1>the lawless thugs are demonstrating precisely why they should be

0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:25.080
<v Speaker 1>deported and why those who break the law to support

0:21:25.119 --> 0:21:28.560
<v Speaker 1>them should be locked up. As the National Guard is

0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:32.399
<v Speaker 1>called in to restore order, the fires continue to burn.

0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:35.359
<v Speaker 1>Some of these fires have been burning for so long

0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:39.119
<v Speaker 1>that the cars are almost gone. Look at that. But

0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:43.320
<v Speaker 1>authority is the National Guard will restore order. As these

0:21:43.400 --> 0:21:46.440
<v Speaker 1>writers found out. Some of these writers found out.

0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:47.720
<v Speaker 4>They're coming out.

0:21:47.760 --> 0:22:03.399
<v Speaker 5>They're coming out.

0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:09.240
<v Speaker 1>And while the Mexican flag was proudly flying throughout these protests,

0:22:09.280 --> 0:22:13.119
<v Speaker 1>the American flag was really nowhere to be seen unless

0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:21.960
<v Speaker 1>it was being set alight. Yes, they proudly fly the

0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Mexican flag, but they burned the American one as they

0:22:25.840 --> 0:22:29.560
<v Speaker 1>riot to stop being deported to Mexico and other countries

0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:33.760
<v Speaker 1>they hold in higher esteem than America. This is the left.

0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:37.879
<v Speaker 1>It's what they do, whether it's Antifa, BLM or these

0:22:38.119 --> 0:22:42.360
<v Speaker 1>lawless thugs. Remember, the violence from the left intensified as

0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:45.560
<v Speaker 1>soon as Trump became president. The first time.

0:22:54.960 --> 0:22:58.040
<v Speaker 6>Police had to push back the protesters so firefighters could

0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:10.560
<v Speaker 6>get to the fleemes.

0:23:00.680 --> 0:23:19.600
<v Speaker 7>Small fires had appeared all day, this up to the temperature,

0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:21.119
<v Speaker 7>which of course was the point.

0:23:22.720 --> 0:23:26.280
<v Speaker 8>One demonstrator through a flash bangrenade back at police.

0:23:26.720 --> 0:23:28.920
<v Speaker 1>It exploded in an officer's face.

0:23:28.720 --> 0:23:29.840
<v Speaker 5>And save to your gas.

0:23:30.040 --> 0:23:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Six officers reportedly injured. Funny how that was never called

0:23:33.760 --> 0:23:38.720
<v Speaker 1>an insurrection. The Democrats have always fanned this sort of violence.

0:23:38.720 --> 0:23:42.320
<v Speaker 1>They have incentivized it, they have defended it, and even

0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:45.960
<v Speaker 1>as La descends into violence and chaos, they are calling

0:23:46.040 --> 0:23:51.639
<v Speaker 1>for more his Democrats. La City council member Hernandez telling

0:23:51.720 --> 0:23:56.359
<v Speaker 1>protesters rioters really to escalate their tactics.

0:23:56.560 --> 0:23:59.800
<v Speaker 9>They know how quickly we mobilized. That's why they're changing tactics.

0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:03.080
<v Speaker 8>Because community defense works and our resistance has slowed them

0:24:03.080 --> 0:24:03.639
<v Speaker 8>down before.

0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:06.760
<v Speaker 10>And if they're doing their tactics, then so are we.

0:24:07.280 --> 0:24:12.360
<v Speaker 10>When they saw up, when they saw up, we got

0:24:12.359 --> 0:24:13.560
<v Speaker 10>to throw up even stronger.

0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:17.720
<v Speaker 1>And La Mayor Karen Bass also defended the protest and

0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:20.760
<v Speaker 1>trumpeted LA's sanctuary city status.

0:24:21.000 --> 0:24:24.880
<v Speaker 11>We are going to fight for all Angelinos, regardless of.

0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:27.719
<v Speaker 5>When they got here, whether they have papers or not.

0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:32.200
<v Speaker 11>We are a city of immigrants, and this impacts hundreds

0:24:32.240 --> 0:24:34.119
<v Speaker 11>of thousands of Angelinos.

0:24:34.320 --> 0:24:37.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, it was only last year when Democrat congress

0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:42.239
<v Speaker 1>Woman Maxine Waters was accusing Trump of being divisive and

0:24:42.440 --> 0:24:44.280
<v Speaker 1>engaging in dangerous rhetoric.

0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:47.840
<v Speaker 8>I am going to spend some time with the criminal

0:24:48.040 --> 0:24:51.960
<v Speaker 8>justice system, with the justice system, asking them, tell us

0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:55.359
<v Speaker 8>what's going on with the domestic arians. Are they preparing

0:24:55.720 --> 0:24:59.520
<v Speaker 8>a civil war against us? Should we be concerned about

0:24:59.560 --> 0:25:03.080
<v Speaker 8>our say? What is he doing with this divasive language?

0:25:03.160 --> 0:25:06.160
<v Speaker 8>It is dangerous and we're going to have to make

0:25:06.200 --> 0:25:10.240
<v Speaker 8>sure that we understand that we're not at risk with

0:25:10.359 --> 0:25:12.440
<v Speaker 8>this man talking in the way that he's doing.

0:25:12.720 --> 0:25:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh, Maxine Waters had plenty of fears, fevered dreams about

0:25:16.840 --> 0:25:20.679
<v Speaker 1>Trump and his supporters starting trouble. But it's the left,

0:25:20.920 --> 0:25:24.399
<v Speaker 1>always the left resorting to violence and right there to

0:25:24.480 --> 0:25:28.040
<v Speaker 1>defend the protesters and defend the rights of illegal immigrants

0:25:28.160 --> 0:25:32.160
<v Speaker 1>to stay in the country illegally, was the congresswoman. Let's

0:25:32.160 --> 0:25:34.000
<v Speaker 1>have a listen to Maxine Waters.

0:25:34.240 --> 0:25:38.440
<v Speaker 11>Hughes deportation as a way to enhance his position.

0:25:38.680 --> 0:25:39.840
<v Speaker 5>We're all to fate.

0:25:39.680 --> 0:25:40.520
<v Speaker 10>Where you're out there.

0:25:40.560 --> 0:25:44.159
<v Speaker 11>We don't want his country to be a country a

0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:48.200
<v Speaker 11>potball coming from other broadcasts. It's outrageous. It is horrible,

0:25:48.600 --> 0:25:51.400
<v Speaker 11>and we've got to make sure that we do everything

0:25:51.520 --> 0:25:54.639
<v Speaker 11>every parts of the care because I think he's up

0:25:54.720 --> 0:25:56.359
<v Speaker 11>to creating martial life.

0:25:57.320 --> 0:26:01.879
<v Speaker 1>He even look together we alluded to civil war. This

0:26:02.119 --> 0:26:05.520
<v Speaker 1>from the woman who has a long champion feral behavior,

0:26:05.600 --> 0:26:09.359
<v Speaker 1>who has called for her ideological opponents to be harassed

0:26:09.400 --> 0:26:12.840
<v Speaker 1>and intimidated even when they're out for dinner, And now

0:26:12.920 --> 0:26:18.080
<v Speaker 1>as California descends into a lawless, violent protest, she's fanning

0:26:18.160 --> 0:26:21.000
<v Speaker 1>the flames with this sort of talk. Here, she's asked

0:26:21.040 --> 0:26:24.480
<v Speaker 1>about the National Guard being called into restore order. Don't

0:26:24.520 --> 0:26:27.800
<v Speaker 1>you think about the National Guard being here Trumps deploying

0:26:27.880 --> 0:26:29.360
<v Speaker 1>them and not our own governorate.

0:26:29.760 --> 0:26:32.080
<v Speaker 11>Well, the thing about it is, I don't know why

0:26:32.240 --> 0:26:33.359
<v Speaker 11>they're here with guns.

0:26:34.200 --> 0:26:36.920
<v Speaker 5>Whom are they going to shoot and for what? Why

0:26:36.920 --> 0:26:39.200
<v Speaker 5>are the gun Why are these guns here?

0:26:39.280 --> 0:26:40.040
<v Speaker 1>That's my question.

0:26:40.600 --> 0:26:42.639
<v Speaker 11>I don't care. Why are the guns have to be

0:26:43.560 --> 0:26:46.520
<v Speaker 11>Santuary City. We know Trump doesn't like us, we know

0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:48.680
<v Speaker 11>that it's tring to try to use us as an example.

0:26:48.920 --> 0:26:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Is she kidding? Why they're guns? Why are they there?

0:26:52.840 --> 0:26:52.959
<v Speaker 5>Are?

0:26:53.080 --> 0:26:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Because violent miscreants have taken over the streets. They're attacking

0:26:57.240 --> 0:27:02.000
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement and generally being lawless thugs. Does she expect

0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:04.720
<v Speaker 1>the National Guard to go in there with Teddy Bears

0:27:04.840 --> 0:27:09.120
<v Speaker 1>and hug these criminals into submission? And if that wasn't enough,

0:27:09.320 --> 0:27:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Maxine then showed up at a detention center and tried

0:27:12.800 --> 0:27:18.440
<v Speaker 1>to use her congressional authority to gain access. It didn't

0:27:18.480 --> 0:27:21.640
<v Speaker 1>go too well, as the kids say, not Today's Satan.

0:27:22.680 --> 0:27:27.320
<v Speaker 11>Well, I watched Hello, Hello, Hello, congress Roman writer.

0:27:27.800 --> 0:27:32.520
<v Speaker 6>I just came to use my congressional I'll go to

0:27:32.880 --> 0:27:33.480
<v Speaker 6>chapline Bears.

0:27:33.520 --> 0:27:37.359
<v Speaker 11>Now I need to get in.

0:27:38.680 --> 0:27:39.359
<v Speaker 8>I need to get it.

0:27:45.119 --> 0:27:47.680
<v Speaker 1>That was pretty delicious footage. At the end there joining

0:27:47.720 --> 0:27:51.439
<v Speaker 1>me our is American Culture Project Cedia Fellow and school

0:27:51.560 --> 0:27:56.359
<v Speaker 1>choice advocate Corey Deangelus. Corey Donald Trump couldn't have hoped

0:27:56.480 --> 0:28:00.359
<v Speaker 1>for a better advertisement for his deportation program, and then

0:28:00.440 --> 0:28:03.879
<v Speaker 1>the violent uprising we're seeing in California right now.

0:28:05.000 --> 0:28:07.960
<v Speaker 10>Yes, this is a great advertisement for Trump's deportation program,

0:28:08.080 --> 0:28:11.040
<v Speaker 10>but it's also a great advertisement for the Republican Party

0:28:11.160 --> 0:28:14.720
<v Speaker 10>in general. The Republicans already beat the Democrats on the

0:28:14.800 --> 0:28:18.480
<v Speaker 10>issue of immigration overwhelmingly in the last election, and now

0:28:18.560 --> 0:28:22.159
<v Speaker 10>this is only going to cement that view in voters' minds.

0:28:22.480 --> 0:28:24.440
<v Speaker 10>You look at the images from Los Angeles. It's a

0:28:24.480 --> 0:28:28.040
<v Speaker 10>war zone right now, and it's because the Democrats can't

0:28:28.119 --> 0:28:30.720
<v Speaker 10>keep their house an already. Look at Democrat runs cities.

0:28:30.960 --> 0:28:33.920
<v Speaker 10>We saw this in twenty twenty with the George Floyd protest.

0:28:34.200 --> 0:28:37.080
<v Speaker 10>They were burning cities all across the country. You had

0:28:37.200 --> 0:28:41.680
<v Speaker 10>mainstream media calling it mostly peaceful protests that were fiery,

0:28:41.800 --> 0:28:43.800
<v Speaker 10>and we're seeing the same kind of problems right now.

0:28:43.840 --> 0:28:46.360
<v Speaker 10>And you have Gavin Newsom trying to tell Trump to

0:28:46.520 --> 0:28:48.000
<v Speaker 10>call off the National Guard.

0:28:48.360 --> 0:28:49.960
<v Speaker 9>They're siding with the criminals.

0:28:50.000 --> 0:28:53.280
<v Speaker 10>They're against the victims in these situations.

0:28:53.840 --> 0:28:57.560
<v Speaker 9>They are against personal property rights, they're with the looters.

0:28:58.000 --> 0:29:01.120
<v Speaker 10>And you know, voters don't like this. If they're paying taxes,

0:29:01.160 --> 0:29:04.400
<v Speaker 10>they want to be protected. They don't want criminals roaming

0:29:04.480 --> 0:29:07.920
<v Speaker 10>the streets. You see the Mexican flag being flown all

0:29:08.000 --> 0:29:11.720
<v Speaker 10>across Los Angeles. This is supposed to be America, not Mexico.

0:29:12.240 --> 0:29:15.360
<v Speaker 10>And so this is this is only providing more advertising

0:29:15.520 --> 0:29:19.840
<v Speaker 10>for Trump's efforts because you know, one of his main

0:29:19.960 --> 0:29:22.320
<v Speaker 10>arguments is that a lot of the immigrants are not

0:29:22.440 --> 0:29:26.240
<v Speaker 10>assimilating with American culture. You see them in these photographs

0:29:26.280 --> 0:29:29.480
<v Speaker 10>and these videos with flags that aren't even the American flag.

0:29:29.640 --> 0:29:32.080
<v Speaker 9>I mean, it's making Trump's point for him.

0:29:32.440 --> 0:29:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Well, we've seen scenes of them burning the American flag.

0:29:37.640 --> 0:29:39.680
<v Speaker 1>That's the only time I've seen the American flag in

0:29:39.760 --> 0:29:43.280
<v Speaker 1>these protests is when it was being burned. And you're right,

0:29:43.360 --> 0:29:46.640
<v Speaker 1>where is Governor Newism seems to be doing more harm

0:29:46.800 --> 0:29:51.600
<v Speaker 1>than good. The local authorities seem to have run soft

0:29:51.720 --> 0:29:56.000
<v Speaker 1>on this as well, releasing ridiculous statements saying the peaceful protests,

0:29:56.760 --> 0:29:59.400
<v Speaker 1>and they seem to be completely unprepared for the violence

0:29:59.600 --> 0:30:02.640
<v Speaker 1>of the left, even though we see it often enough.

0:30:02.800 --> 0:30:06.000
<v Speaker 1>And you mentioned the Mexican flag. I think this image

0:30:06.160 --> 0:30:09.840
<v Speaker 1>really summed up the protest. You can see the lineup

0:30:09.920 --> 0:30:14.520
<v Speaker 1>of police cars in this image shrouded in thick black smoke,

0:30:14.640 --> 0:30:17.880
<v Speaker 1>and you've got a mass protest there there flying the

0:30:18.000 --> 0:30:22.480
<v Speaker 1>Mexican flag. This, to me, Corey is just the height

0:30:22.560 --> 0:30:26.680
<v Speaker 1>of absurdity. These people are flying the Mexican flag and

0:30:27.160 --> 0:30:31.280
<v Speaker 1>violently protesting to avoid being deported to Mexico. If you

0:30:31.320 --> 0:30:34.280
<v Speaker 1>love Mexico so much that you're flying their flag on

0:30:34.400 --> 0:30:37.840
<v Speaker 1>American soil, why are you so opposed to going back there?

0:30:39.800 --> 0:30:42.360
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, look, this is an invasion, it's an insurrection. If

0:30:42.400 --> 0:30:44.200
<v Speaker 10>you want to take the words from the left and

0:30:44.360 --> 0:30:47.760
<v Speaker 10>use it right against them. But look, I mean this,

0:30:48.000 --> 0:30:50.120
<v Speaker 10>Los Angeles is supposed to be the home of the

0:30:50.240 --> 0:30:53.200
<v Speaker 10>twenty twenty eight Summer Olympics, and all we have right

0:30:53.240 --> 0:30:57.560
<v Speaker 10>now is they're public officials using mental gymnastics to defend

0:30:58.040 --> 0:31:01.400
<v Speaker 10>the criminals, the rapist and the murderers and not the

0:31:01.520 --> 0:31:04.240
<v Speaker 10>victims of all these crimes. So you know, you were

0:31:04.240 --> 0:31:09.360
<v Speaker 10>already We're already forecast in twenty thirty that California is

0:31:09.360 --> 0:31:14.160
<v Speaker 10>going to lose four electors because they're losing population already.

0:31:14.520 --> 0:31:18.400
<v Speaker 10>More people are going to flee California. They have beautiful beaches,

0:31:18.480 --> 0:31:21.760
<v Speaker 10>they have a great weather, but they're still losing population

0:31:21.960 --> 0:31:26.560
<v Speaker 10>because they have numbskulls running their state into the ground.

0:31:29.400 --> 0:31:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Well they do. And as California is in disarray, you've

0:31:33.000 --> 0:31:37.160
<v Speaker 1>got in New Jersey. UFC three sixteen was underway and

0:31:37.800 --> 0:31:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Trump was there and is now customary walking occurred again

0:31:43.120 --> 0:31:55.200
<v Speaker 1>to thunderous applause and krey. As soon as the big

0:31:55.320 --> 0:31:58.960
<v Speaker 1>fights were one, the fighters were jumping out of the

0:31:59.080 --> 0:32:04.680
<v Speaker 1>cage to shake Trump's hand. Here is Mehror devilishly.

0:32:05.160 --> 0:32:10.520
<v Speaker 5>Thomas, He's an unjuged man he's a monster.

0:32:10.720 --> 0:32:11.560
<v Speaker 10>He's a monster.

0:32:12.440 --> 0:32:13.080
<v Speaker 1>He's a monster.

0:32:13.240 --> 0:32:14.840
<v Speaker 4>And look he's not even not a breath.

0:32:15.920 --> 0:32:19.000
<v Speaker 2>He tried that chunk in the first round too, shows

0:32:19.000 --> 0:32:21.800
<v Speaker 2>ever to depend but I mean you're tier, You've been

0:32:21.880 --> 0:32:24.280
<v Speaker 2>worn down, and eventually he gets that choke.

0:32:24.440 --> 0:32:25.680
<v Speaker 9>Look at Moracos.

0:32:27.080 --> 0:32:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Second meeting. More time of it than the first judge

0:32:30.440 --> 0:32:33.360
<v Speaker 1>is not needed tonight, Corey. There certainly has been a

0:32:33.480 --> 0:32:39.200
<v Speaker 1>big cultural shift in the States, more so in sport

0:32:39.480 --> 0:32:43.800
<v Speaker 1>than in entertainment. But you are seeing Trump embraced these

0:32:44.080 --> 0:32:47.640
<v Speaker 1>sporting events, particularly the UFC, but also football games, and

0:32:48.280 --> 0:32:54.480
<v Speaker 1>he's enormously popular with even in places you willdn't expect

0:32:54.560 --> 0:32:56.920
<v Speaker 1>him to be popular. New Jersey is a blue state.

0:32:58.480 --> 0:33:00.360
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, it's right. Trump is a man in the people.

0:33:00.480 --> 0:33:04.480
<v Speaker 10>He won all seven swing states in November twenty twenty four,

0:33:05.040 --> 0:33:08.400
<v Speaker 10>and he's continuing that trajectory. See winners like Trump, and

0:33:08.480 --> 0:33:11.120
<v Speaker 10>Trump likes to win too, So you can see that

0:33:11.240 --> 0:33:13.040
<v Speaker 10>in his policies and you can see it in his

0:33:13.120 --> 0:33:15.400
<v Speaker 10>public events as well. We saw us at football games

0:33:15.440 --> 0:33:18.200
<v Speaker 10>leading up to the election. He's a very popular guy

0:33:18.400 --> 0:33:21.080
<v Speaker 10>and he's he's a man of the people. Your everyday

0:33:21.160 --> 0:33:26.640
<v Speaker 10>citizen can can relate with Trump, and it's just as

0:33:26.800 --> 0:33:27.360
<v Speaker 10>it's obvious.

0:33:27.640 --> 0:33:28.080
<v Speaker 9>A plus.

0:33:28.520 --> 0:33:31.440
<v Speaker 10>The main thing is that his policies are great, especially

0:33:31.480 --> 0:33:36.040
<v Speaker 10>when it comes to things like education, immigration, keeping cities safe.

0:33:36.840 --> 0:33:40.480
<v Speaker 10>Hopefully some states like California and New York can learn

0:33:40.600 --> 0:33:45.000
<v Speaker 10>from from Republican led states to be safer and.

0:33:46.800 --> 0:33:48.440
<v Speaker 9>To have a better education system too.

0:33:50.480 --> 0:33:55.080
<v Speaker 1>I think New Jersey's it can be won. I mean,

0:33:55.120 --> 0:33:57.800
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of those that it is a polarized country.

0:33:57.960 --> 0:34:01.080
<v Speaker 1>We might talk about Trump being popular. He is loath

0:34:01.400 --> 0:34:05.400
<v Speaker 1>in those deep blue states, that's for sure. But I

0:34:05.440 --> 0:34:08.960
<v Speaker 1>think New Jersey is one of those ones where at

0:34:09.040 --> 0:34:11.520
<v Speaker 1>the next election or maybe the one after, it could

0:34:11.600 --> 0:34:16.440
<v Speaker 1>become a red state because the people there are are

0:34:16.560 --> 0:34:19.960
<v Speaker 1>sick of the Democrats abandoning them and the issues they

0:34:20.080 --> 0:34:23.319
<v Speaker 1>care about. They have become so radically left some lest

0:34:23.360 --> 0:34:25.800
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats find their way, they are in danger of

0:34:25.880 --> 0:34:29.040
<v Speaker 1>losing states like New Jersey. Now let's marvel at this

0:34:29.640 --> 0:34:34.200
<v Speaker 1>ridiculous piece from the Washington Post about life on Martha's

0:34:34.320 --> 0:34:39.239
<v Speaker 1>Vineyard and Nantucket being disrupted after migrant workers were shackled

0:34:39.280 --> 0:34:45.280
<v Speaker 1>and boarded onto Coast Guard boats, igniting fear among undocumented workers.

0:34:45.360 --> 0:34:50.320
<v Speaker 1>They call them who form the backbone of the island's workforce, Cory,

0:34:50.560 --> 0:34:54.320
<v Speaker 1>is this not the same community in Martha's Vineyard that

0:34:54.480 --> 0:34:58.600
<v Speaker 1>called in authorities when a few dozen illegal immigrants were

0:34:58.640 --> 0:35:01.840
<v Speaker 1>sent their way from Florida. I mean that were removed

0:35:01.920 --> 0:35:04.880
<v Speaker 1>within a couple of days, if I remember correctly. And

0:35:05.000 --> 0:35:08.040
<v Speaker 1>now we're supposed to feel sorry for them because they

0:35:08.200 --> 0:35:09.320
<v Speaker 1>chap labor's gone.

0:35:10.840 --> 0:35:12.799
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, they're afraid that they're not going to have their

0:35:13.000 --> 0:35:15.479
<v Speaker 10>low cost labor. The elites over there and want people

0:35:15.560 --> 0:35:17.840
<v Speaker 10>to mow their yards and to serve them.

0:35:18.480 --> 0:35:21.400
<v Speaker 9>At the dinner table. But look, yeah, they're total hypocrites.

0:35:21.440 --> 0:35:23.399
<v Speaker 10>And this just goes to show you that so much

0:35:23.480 --> 0:35:27.080
<v Speaker 10>of these knee jerk reactions from elites and these kind

0:35:27.120 --> 0:35:29.920
<v Speaker 10>of cities, it's all just based on who.

0:35:29.840 --> 0:35:30.440
<v Speaker 9>They don't like.

0:35:30.640 --> 0:35:33.200
<v Speaker 10>So a few years ago, is they didn't like DeSantis.

0:35:33.280 --> 0:35:35.880
<v Speaker 10>They thought DeSantis had a shot at becoming president, so

0:35:36.400 --> 0:35:39.279
<v Speaker 10>they wanted to respond by saying, oh, well, we don't

0:35:39.320 --> 0:35:41.680
<v Speaker 10>like what he's doing by sending the immigrants here, even

0:35:41.719 --> 0:35:43.719
<v Speaker 10>though they said they were a sanctuary city and they

0:35:44.040 --> 0:35:45.040
<v Speaker 10>embraced immigrants.

0:35:45.840 --> 0:35:48.400
<v Speaker 9>But then now that Trump is trying to go the

0:35:48.440 --> 0:35:48.960
<v Speaker 9>other way.

0:35:48.880 --> 0:35:53.720
<v Speaker 10>On the same issue and to deport immigrants from Martha's Vineyard.

0:35:54.120 --> 0:35:56.080
<v Speaker 10>Now all of a sudden, they come out with their

0:35:56.120 --> 0:35:57.200
<v Speaker 10>Trump arrangement syndrome.

0:35:57.239 --> 0:36:00.800
<v Speaker 9>That's all this is. It's the It's more of a

0:36:00.880 --> 0:36:02.919
<v Speaker 9>political argument than anything else.

0:36:05.080 --> 0:36:08.480
<v Speaker 1>And let's end with the media. ABC News has a

0:36:08.600 --> 0:36:13.880
<v Speaker 1>suspended correspondentary Moran after he posts the most unhinged diet

0:36:13.920 --> 0:36:17.480
<v Speaker 1>tribe on x imaginable about President Donald Trump and Trump's

0:36:17.520 --> 0:36:21.680
<v Speaker 1>deputy chief of Staff Stephen Miller Corey. This was a

0:36:22.200 --> 0:36:25.960
<v Speaker 1>crazy rand, he wrote, and he's deleted this, but the

0:36:26.080 --> 0:36:29.920
<v Speaker 1>damage is done. He wrote, amongst other things, Miller is

0:36:30.000 --> 0:36:34.360
<v Speaker 1>a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred.

0:36:34.800 --> 0:36:38.480
<v Speaker 1>He's a world class hater. You can see this just

0:36:38.680 --> 0:36:41.360
<v Speaker 1>by looking at him, because you can see that his

0:36:41.560 --> 0:36:46.960
<v Speaker 1>hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate, he

0:36:47.120 --> 0:36:52.839
<v Speaker 1>eats his Corey. This is demented, even by ABC standards.

0:36:52.920 --> 0:36:55.160
<v Speaker 1>I could not believe this. I thought he'd been hacked,

0:36:55.360 --> 0:36:56.600
<v Speaker 1>but no, he's responsible.

0:36:57.600 --> 0:37:00.440
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, it's a classic case of pure projection. And I mean,

0:37:00.520 --> 0:37:03.160
<v Speaker 10>you can see his hatred just seeping through that tweet.

0:37:03.440 --> 0:37:04.480
<v Speaker 10>He later deleted it.

0:37:05.200 --> 0:37:07.120
<v Speaker 9>Maybe he was drunk when he was tweeting this. I

0:37:07.120 --> 0:37:08.080
<v Speaker 9>don't know what happened, but.

0:37:09.920 --> 0:37:13.479
<v Speaker 10>It's very surprising to me that ABC is actually doing

0:37:13.640 --> 0:37:15.759
<v Speaker 10>something about it. I would have figured that he would

0:37:15.760 --> 0:37:18.560
<v Speaker 10>have got a promotion at this left wing news outlet.

0:37:19.040 --> 0:37:22.000
<v Speaker 1>For he's only suspended. Corey.

0:37:23.640 --> 0:37:29.239
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, yeah, maybe one when it blows over, he'll he'll

0:37:29.280 --> 0:37:30.400
<v Speaker 10>get a raise or something.

0:37:30.560 --> 0:37:31.399
<v Speaker 9>In a couple of months.

0:37:33.719 --> 0:37:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, let's not forget Donald Trump sat down with him

0:37:36.640 --> 0:37:38.840
<v Speaker 1>for that one on one interview and he was fairly

0:37:39.080 --> 0:37:42.479
<v Speaker 1>thoroughly embarrassed. He was unprepared for that interview, and Trump

0:37:42.560 --> 0:37:45.880
<v Speaker 1>held him to account when he made some claims boldly

0:37:46.120 --> 0:37:48.000
<v Speaker 1>and when he was questioned he's like, oh no, no,

0:37:48.080 --> 0:37:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure, I'm just asking the question, and when

0:37:50.440 --> 0:37:53.560
<v Speaker 1>he'd actually been making a statement. There were quite a

0:37:53.600 --> 0:37:56.840
<v Speaker 1>few examples there. Corey DeAngelis always a pleasure. Thanks for

0:37:56.880 --> 0:37:57.360
<v Speaker 1>your time.

0:37:57.239 --> 0:37:59.719
<v Speaker 9>Tonight, Thank you reader, good talking to you.

0:38:00.239 --> 0:38:03.839
<v Speaker 1>Still to come. The fallout from Elon masks meltdown as

0:38:03.960 --> 0:38:08.440
<v Speaker 1>President Trump comments on the billionaires alleged drug use. Gabriella

0:38:08.600 --> 0:38:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Power has the details. Welcome back, joining me now as

0:38:21.000 --> 0:38:23.879
<v Speaker 1>host of the Power Hour, available across Guy In News

0:38:23.880 --> 0:38:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Australia's digital platforms. Gabriella Power gab Let's start with allegations

0:38:29.640 --> 0:38:33.120
<v Speaker 1>made by former advisor to Donald Trump about Elon Mask.

0:38:33.200 --> 0:38:37.200
<v Speaker 1>He claims that Elon shoulder charge Treasury Secretary Scott was

0:38:37.239 --> 0:38:41.600
<v Speaker 1>sent after a war of words turned physical just meters

0:38:41.680 --> 0:38:44.759
<v Speaker 1>from the Oval office. Gabber, what else can you tell

0:38:44.840 --> 0:38:46.120
<v Speaker 1>us about these allegations?

0:38:46.480 --> 0:38:49.040
<v Speaker 12>Oh my gosh, all Elon Mask just keeps bringing so

0:38:49.280 --> 0:38:52.040
<v Speaker 12>much drama to the White House. But as you say,

0:38:52.160 --> 0:38:55.080
<v Speaker 12>this is really interesting because this is coming from Steve Bannon,

0:38:55.560 --> 0:38:57.840
<v Speaker 12>a former advisor to Trump, and he has told the

0:38:58.000 --> 0:39:02.040
<v Speaker 12>Washington Post that essentially eli and Scott Besson got into

0:39:02.120 --> 0:39:06.680
<v Speaker 12>a physical altercation back in April. So Scott Besson and

0:39:06.760 --> 0:39:10.720
<v Speaker 12>Elon Musk were pitching strategies around the IRS to Donald Trump,

0:39:10.760 --> 0:39:14.719
<v Speaker 12>and Donald Trump was apparently backing bessence, and Elon Musk

0:39:14.840 --> 0:39:19.239
<v Speaker 12>was not having any of it and allegedly treated Scott

0:39:19.320 --> 0:39:22.439
<v Speaker 12>Besson like a rugby player and put a shoulder into

0:39:22.520 --> 0:39:24.960
<v Speaker 12>his rib and the two of them had to actually

0:39:25.000 --> 0:39:26.320
<v Speaker 12>get torn.

0:39:26.200 --> 0:39:28.439
<v Speaker 5>Apart by other people that were in the room.

0:39:28.560 --> 0:39:31.120
<v Speaker 12>So who knows what Elon Musk was actually on at

0:39:31.160 --> 0:39:34.839
<v Speaker 12>this point in time. Elon Musk is quickly learning how

0:39:34.920 --> 0:39:38.480
<v Speaker 12>politics works, and that is not how you handle a disagreement.

0:39:40.520 --> 0:39:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Well, no, and that wouldn't explain that black eye, because

0:39:43.200 --> 0:39:46.319
<v Speaker 1>if that happened in that timeframe, that the black eye

0:39:46.520 --> 0:39:48.640
<v Speaker 1>was far more recent than that. So I don't know.

0:39:48.719 --> 0:39:51.239
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he got into a rugby taggle with somebody else.

0:39:51.719 --> 0:39:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Let's see now. From President Donald Trump, he was asked

0:39:54.719 --> 0:39:57.919
<v Speaker 1>about Elon Musk's possible drug use.

0:39:58.239 --> 0:40:01.279
<v Speaker 5>Did you have any concerns about his drug use when

0:40:01.320 --> 0:40:02.080
<v Speaker 5>he was working for you?

0:40:03.480 --> 0:40:05.719
<v Speaker 10>I don't want to comment understrug news, I don't know.

0:40:05.880 --> 0:40:08.719
<v Speaker 10>I don't know what his status is. I read an

0:40:08.800 --> 0:40:10.880
<v Speaker 10>article on the New York Times. I thought it was Frankly,

0:40:10.960 --> 0:40:12.200
<v Speaker 10>it sounded very unfair to me.

0:40:12.560 --> 0:40:15.200
<v Speaker 5>You said earlier today that mister Musk had a problem.

0:40:15.280 --> 0:40:17.839
<v Speaker 5>What did you mean by that? Did you misjudge him?

0:40:18.200 --> 0:40:18.319
<v Speaker 1>May?

0:40:18.480 --> 0:40:20.440
<v Speaker 10>I don't want to talk about problems. I think that.

0:40:22.080 --> 0:40:24.000
<v Speaker 5>I think the United States had problems that.

0:40:24.040 --> 0:40:25.960
<v Speaker 10>If you look at the numbers day, the numbers were.

0:40:26.040 --> 0:40:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Unbelievable, Gab. This clash was inevitable in many ways, and

0:40:31.160 --> 0:40:35.759
<v Speaker 1>Elon Musker made a major major miscalculation here. I don't

0:40:35.760 --> 0:40:38.600
<v Speaker 1>know if he was on something. I suspect it possibly was.

0:40:38.680 --> 0:40:43.360
<v Speaker 1>When he was tweeting some of that reckless, crazy retoric.

0:40:43.760 --> 0:40:46.920
<v Speaker 1>He's gone back and deleted most of it. But he

0:40:47.080 --> 0:40:50.320
<v Speaker 1>thought perhaps being the world's richest man meant that he

0:40:50.400 --> 0:40:52.800
<v Speaker 1>could be the world's most powerful man, and he is

0:40:53.040 --> 0:40:55.880
<v Speaker 1>not that, And he found out the hard way that

0:40:56.000 --> 0:40:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump is potus.

0:40:58.520 --> 0:41:00.960
<v Speaker 12>Isn't it interesting because so how long were we hearing

0:41:01.000 --> 0:41:03.680
<v Speaker 12>from Democrats in the mainstream media they were so concerned

0:41:03.680 --> 0:41:07.560
<v Speaker 12>about Elon Musk's influence over Donald Trump. And Donald Trump

0:41:07.719 --> 0:41:10.160
<v Speaker 12>is showing that he really didn't have much at all.

0:41:10.280 --> 0:41:13.240
<v Speaker 12>And Donald Trump is the most powerful person in America,

0:41:13.440 --> 0:41:16.240
<v Speaker 12>not Elon Musk. But you're right, reader, I think Elon

0:41:16.320 --> 0:41:19.360
<v Speaker 12>has realized he made a massive mistake. He has deleted

0:41:19.520 --> 0:41:23.399
<v Speaker 12>that bombshelled sweet that was absolutely ridiculous, linking Donald Trump

0:41:23.440 --> 0:41:26.080
<v Speaker 12>to the Epstein files. He's deleted that. And he's not

0:41:26.200 --> 0:41:29.600
<v Speaker 12>only deleted that, he's now starting to show that he

0:41:29.800 --> 0:41:33.200
<v Speaker 12>is groveling because he is now resharing on his x

0:41:33.280 --> 0:41:36.880
<v Speaker 12>feed posts that Donald Trump has made in response to

0:41:37.000 --> 0:41:39.200
<v Speaker 12>what is going on in Los Angeles at the moment.

0:41:39.280 --> 0:41:43.120
<v Speaker 12>So look, they are both patriots, and Elon Musk is

0:41:43.200 --> 0:41:47.640
<v Speaker 12>supporting Donald Trump publicly once again over Donald trump support

0:41:47.719 --> 0:41:51.000
<v Speaker 12>for what is unfolding in Los Angeles and both absolutely

0:41:51.160 --> 0:41:54.280
<v Speaker 12>tearing apart Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass because they cannot

0:41:54.360 --> 0:41:58.680
<v Speaker 12>handle cannot show that they have any control over what

0:41:58.840 --> 0:42:01.759
<v Speaker 12>is unfolding with his Vibe protest. But as you say,

0:42:01.960 --> 0:42:03.920
<v Speaker 12>you know, Elon Musk has made a mistake. I think

0:42:03.960 --> 0:42:06.080
<v Speaker 12>he's realized that, and I think he's quickly trying to

0:42:06.120 --> 0:42:09.160
<v Speaker 12>patch things up. Let's see how forgiving Donald Trump is.

0:42:09.239 --> 0:42:11.200
<v Speaker 12>But I think many Americans would like to see them

0:42:11.520 --> 0:42:12.760
<v Speaker 12>working together again.

0:42:15.040 --> 0:42:16.919
<v Speaker 1>Well, yes, for the good of the country, you would

0:42:17.040 --> 0:42:20.040
<v Speaker 1>like to see that. But he's got to know his place.

0:42:20.160 --> 0:42:23.600
<v Speaker 1>He can't have another episode like that. And you're right.

0:42:23.960 --> 0:42:29.759
<v Speaker 1>I've heard some absolutely crazy commentary today from some you know,

0:42:30.160 --> 0:42:32.920
<v Speaker 1>veteran pundits saying, some of the trouble in LA it's

0:42:32.960 --> 0:42:35.800
<v Speaker 1>not a coincidence that it started when Elon Musk and

0:42:35.880 --> 0:42:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump have fallen out, as if that has anything

0:42:39.560 --> 0:42:41.279
<v Speaker 1>to do with it. I don't know what planet some

0:42:41.360 --> 0:42:46.520
<v Speaker 1>of these analysts are on. But now decorated gymnast Simone

0:42:46.600 --> 0:42:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Biles has clashed with women's sports campaigner Riley Gains on X.

0:42:50.760 --> 0:42:55.040
<v Speaker 1>You posted something quite nasty, writing you're truly sick all

0:42:55.120 --> 0:42:58.000
<v Speaker 1>of this campaigning because you lost a race, straight up,

0:42:58.120 --> 0:43:01.560
<v Speaker 1>saul loser, You should be uplifting the trans community and

0:43:01.640 --> 0:43:05.480
<v Speaker 1>perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive, or creating

0:43:05.600 --> 0:43:08.919
<v Speaker 1>a new avenue where trans feels safe in sports, maybe

0:43:09.040 --> 0:43:13.719
<v Speaker 1>a transgender category in all sports. But instead you bully them.

0:43:14.360 --> 0:43:16.840
<v Speaker 1>One thing for sure is no one in sports is

0:43:16.960 --> 0:43:20.759
<v Speaker 1>safe with you around bully someone your own size, which

0:43:20.800 --> 0:43:25.719
<v Speaker 1>would ironically be a male gap. Nasty, nasty and low.

0:43:26.560 --> 0:43:30.720
<v Speaker 1>And I've got to say Files has been roundly criticized

0:43:30.800 --> 0:43:34.560
<v Speaker 1>here because Ralegh Gains not only was she beaten by

0:43:34.640 --> 0:43:37.360
<v Speaker 1>a man, but she has worked tirelessly ever since to

0:43:37.480 --> 0:43:41.840
<v Speaker 1>protect girls and women from men taking over their sport.

0:43:42.560 --> 0:43:43.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, she does.

0:43:43.320 --> 0:43:45.319
<v Speaker 12>But there's a lot of support for Raley Gains here,

0:43:45.360 --> 0:43:47.239
<v Speaker 12>and this is one of the biggest stories in the

0:43:47.400 --> 0:43:51.480
<v Speaker 12>US right now. And someone Files wrote that horrible tweet

0:43:51.640 --> 0:43:53.600
<v Speaker 12>when Raley Gains was called out that there was a

0:43:53.640 --> 0:43:57.839
<v Speaker 12>biological male competing in its softball tournament and where else

0:43:57.960 --> 0:44:03.680
<v Speaker 12>but Minnesota tampon tim country. But look, Riley Gaines has

0:44:04.120 --> 0:44:07.920
<v Speaker 12>hit back at Simon Barles' comments, and she's brought in

0:44:08.560 --> 0:44:11.080
<v Speaker 12>or she's brought up rather Larry Nasa, of course, the

0:44:11.160 --> 0:44:15.879
<v Speaker 12>convicted pedophile who was convicted for assaulting hundreds of young girls.

0:44:15.920 --> 0:44:18.359
<v Speaker 12>Now read you exactly what she said. She wrote all

0:44:18.400 --> 0:44:21.480
<v Speaker 12>the horrific sexual abuse at Simone Bile's witness and spoke

0:44:21.560 --> 0:44:25.239
<v Speaker 12>out against caused by one man, yet believes women should

0:44:25.280 --> 0:44:27.520
<v Speaker 12>be forced to strip naked in front of men to

0:44:27.640 --> 0:44:30.320
<v Speaker 12>validate the man's feelings. You know how many gold medals

0:44:30.600 --> 0:44:33.160
<v Speaker 12>you'd have if your inclusive dream came true?

0:44:33.719 --> 0:44:33.959
<v Speaker 1>Zero?

0:44:34.160 --> 0:44:37.600
<v Speaker 12>Now, Riley Gaines also clarified her position that she absolutely

0:44:37.640 --> 0:44:40.759
<v Speaker 12>hopes that this convicted pedophile, Larry Nasa, spends the rest

0:44:40.840 --> 0:44:43.279
<v Speaker 12>of his life rotting away in prison. But at the

0:44:43.360 --> 0:44:47.080
<v Speaker 12>same time, men do not belong in women's sports, and

0:44:47.239 --> 0:44:49.920
<v Speaker 12>female athletes continue to be failed by a system that

0:44:50.040 --> 0:44:53.680
<v Speaker 12>protects men at the expense of women safety. And look,

0:44:53.719 --> 0:44:56.600
<v Speaker 12>she's absolutely right, and we're just seeing that support for

0:44:56.760 --> 0:44:57.880
<v Speaker 12>Riley Gaines at the moment.

0:45:00.440 --> 0:45:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Now, I wanted to get your reaction to the IDF

0:45:03.680 --> 0:45:09.239
<v Speaker 1>boarding Greta Thunberg's so called freedom Yachta. What did you

0:45:09.320 --> 0:45:13.040
<v Speaker 1>think of this little expedition by Greta Thumberg. Did she

0:45:14.440 --> 0:45:16.640
<v Speaker 1>achiever aims? I mean, she's certainly got a lot of

0:45:16.719 --> 0:45:22.040
<v Speaker 1>international attention, which is what I guess she's really after.

0:45:22.320 --> 0:45:24.560
<v Speaker 1>She's in the business of attention seeking.

0:45:25.520 --> 0:45:29.160
<v Speaker 12>This pr stunt of hers has spectacularly failed. It was

0:45:29.320 --> 0:45:33.359
<v Speaker 12>always going to I mean, this narcissist Greta Thunberg, who

0:45:33.760 --> 0:45:37.560
<v Speaker 12>has spent so many years being so hysterical about climate change,

0:45:37.600 --> 0:45:41.919
<v Speaker 12>and now she's showing support for her muss on this ship,

0:45:42.000 --> 0:45:46.160
<v Speaker 12>which was absolutely ridiculous. She was bringing in barely any

0:45:46.400 --> 0:45:48.800
<v Speaker 12>aid to Gaza, thinking that she was going to be

0:45:48.920 --> 0:45:52.239
<v Speaker 12>some hero. She was going and doing CNN crosses and

0:45:52.400 --> 0:45:56.840
<v Speaker 12>live streaming it. And even before Israeli authorities took control

0:45:57.000 --> 0:45:59.440
<v Speaker 12>of this ship, she even recorded a video saying that

0:45:59.560 --> 0:46:03.720
<v Speaker 12>she had been kidnapped by Israeli authorities. If anything happens

0:46:03.760 --> 0:46:05.759
<v Speaker 12>to her, it's because she's been kidnapped.

0:46:05.840 --> 0:46:06.000
<v Speaker 8>You know.

0:46:06.560 --> 0:46:09.480
<v Speaker 12>She has just become such a laughing stock if she

0:46:09.640 --> 0:46:12.800
<v Speaker 12>wasn't already, and it's brilliant. We have heard from Israeli

0:46:13.719 --> 0:46:17.239
<v Speaker 12>officials that were reacting to this and keeping us all

0:46:17.280 --> 0:46:20.920
<v Speaker 12>in the loop pretty much instantly. They clarified that all

0:46:21.000 --> 0:46:24.560
<v Speaker 12>the passengers and the celebrities on board the selfie yacht

0:46:25.000 --> 0:46:27.880
<v Speaker 12>are of course safe, unharmed, and they were provided with

0:46:28.000 --> 0:46:32.560
<v Speaker 12>sandwiches and water and selfie is well and truly over.

0:46:32.719 --> 0:46:35.120
<v Speaker 12>But just to put it into perspective, how much aid

0:46:35.160 --> 0:46:37.080
<v Speaker 12>they were actually carrying, and it was less than a

0:46:37.200 --> 0:46:41.279
<v Speaker 12>single truckload of aid. And just for some perspective, more

0:46:41.320 --> 0:46:44.800
<v Speaker 12>than twelve hundred AID trucks have entered Gaza from Israel

0:46:44.880 --> 0:46:49.160
<v Speaker 12>within the past two weeks. Congratulations go to Thunberg. That

0:46:49.280 --> 0:46:53.080
<v Speaker 12>has just been a spectacle for us all to laugh at.

0:46:53.760 --> 0:46:55.799
<v Speaker 12>And she has completely foiled. She's on her way back

0:46:55.840 --> 0:46:57.279
<v Speaker 12>to Israel and then she'd be going home.

0:46:59.400 --> 0:47:02.320
<v Speaker 1>I do like that term selfie yacht though. That's something

0:47:02.440 --> 0:47:05.840
<v Speaker 1>new that we can have fun with. Now I've got

0:47:05.920 --> 0:47:09.080
<v Speaker 1>to ask you also about Hugh Jackman and Deborah Leaf Furness.

0:47:09.200 --> 0:47:11.600
<v Speaker 1>They were the Golden couple for so many years. Their

0:47:11.719 --> 0:47:17.280
<v Speaker 1>divorce is getting increasingly ugly. They've begun splitting up their assets,

0:47:17.360 --> 0:47:21.400
<v Speaker 1>including their real estate assets thirty six million dollar apartment

0:47:21.440 --> 0:47:26.320
<v Speaker 1>in Manhattan, gab. There's even talk that Deborah Leaf Furness

0:47:26.480 --> 0:47:30.200
<v Speaker 1>might do a tell all book. Oh wow, this could

0:47:30.239 --> 0:47:35.800
<v Speaker 1>really blow up Hugh Jackman's good boy, well, golden boy images.

0:47:35.880 --> 0:47:38.279
<v Speaker 1>He's been always known as this mister nice guy.

0:47:38.920 --> 0:47:42.040
<v Speaker 12>Absolutely well, that would be an interesting read for sure,

0:47:42.120 --> 0:47:44.600
<v Speaker 12>but as you say there right now, splitting up their assets,

0:47:44.640 --> 0:47:47.600
<v Speaker 12>they've got two hundred and fifty million dollars, that's what

0:47:47.880 --> 0:47:49.879
<v Speaker 12>that is their fortune that they have to work out.

0:47:50.040 --> 0:47:52.600
<v Speaker 12>So this divorce is probably going to get pretty messy,

0:47:53.080 --> 0:47:56.640
<v Speaker 12>as you say. That thirty six million dollar penthouse apartment

0:47:56.760 --> 0:47:59.520
<v Speaker 12>in New York City. It's in the Chelsea District. Beautiful

0:47:59.640 --> 0:48:03.440
<v Speaker 12>area it's got. It's a three bedroom place, five thousand

0:48:03.520 --> 0:48:06.279
<v Speaker 12>square feet. It looks out to the Hudson River. The

0:48:06.320 --> 0:48:10.800
<v Speaker 12>apartment features an elevator entrance, a library that convert to

0:48:10.840 --> 0:48:13.840
<v Speaker 12>a fourth bedroom that wants to a chef's kitchen with

0:48:13.880 --> 0:48:17.319
<v Speaker 12>a breakfast bar. You know, it certainly looks pretty fantastic.

0:48:17.440 --> 0:48:21.040
<v Speaker 12>But they have some places all over the world, not

0:48:21.360 --> 0:48:23.839
<v Speaker 12>just in the United States, here in Australia as well

0:48:24.040 --> 0:48:26.879
<v Speaker 12>and the UK. So I think we'll be seeing more

0:48:26.960 --> 0:48:30.680
<v Speaker 12>reports as they work out how to divide up their fortune.

0:48:33.080 --> 0:48:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and apparently Hugh Jackman is now living in that

0:48:36.840 --> 0:48:40.880
<v Speaker 1>apartment with his new lady who he perhaps was seeing

0:48:41.000 --> 0:48:45.279
<v Speaker 1>for many many years throughout his marriage, allegedly allegedly a

0:48:45.360 --> 0:48:48.840
<v Speaker 1>gab power. Pleasure to speak to you tonight, Thanks for

0:48:48.960 --> 0:48:52.759
<v Speaker 1>your time, and that's all. The time we have, I'll

0:48:52.800 --> 0:48:56.480
<v Speaker 1>see you tomorrow night at eleven up. Next it's Newsnight

0:49:00.520 --> 0:49:00.800
<v Speaker 3>Six
