WEBVTT - Paul Murray Live | 5 August 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:05.320 From the skying in Center. This is Paul Murray life. 0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:11.240 You know, man, what is it? Monday, August twenty twenty four. 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:14.200 And I say this with pride, but I think I've 0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:18.880 officially become my dad. Now I'm only forty six, but 0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:21.119 I've now hit that moment where. 0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:22.720 I'm cold all the time. 0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:24.560 I was used to roll my eyes a little bit 0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:26.720 when Dad was like, Jesus, cold, isn't a cold? Isn't 0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:28.440 a mate cold? I'm that guy this winter. 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:31.400 I know I've had an arctic blast here, there and everywhere, 0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:34.920 but I'm wrapped up layer upon layer and I'm still cold. 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:38.440 So I've officially joined the club anyway, hopefully for the 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:41.520 next forty six years. Good luck with my eating well, 0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:43.239 I will find a way to get warm. But one 0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:44.720 of the ways, of course, is to bask in the 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:48.199 awesomeness of Queen's Land. Now, as you know, I was 0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:50.920 not born in the state, but I consider myself spiritually 0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:53.400 a Queenslander. You know how much I love going on 0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:56.040 holidays there, the good people that are there, the hope 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:58.120 and possibility of getting rid of a bad government. 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:00.960 Well, of course, in Australia we always have these little 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:02.800 fights about you know which is best? 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:06.520 Is it Sydney with its emerald city and beautiful harbor? 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:10.040 Is it Melbourne the most livable city according to five 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:11.200 hundred and twenty eight. 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:12.920 Surveys in a row? 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:17.400 Is a beautiful bris Vegas the host of the Olympic 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:19.200 Games in two thousand and thirty two. 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:23.759 Who knows? But of course right now the. 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:27.480 Joy of Queensland is being spread worldwide via the events 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:29.120 that are taking place in Paris. 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:32.119 Of course, Australia doing incredibly well on that medal tally. 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:34.320 Remember our officials said they didn't want to tell us 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:36.800 how many medals they think we'd win. 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:39.560 We obviously I'm involved. 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.040 We have won thirty one twelve of them a gold 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.800 doing pretty well, doing better than places like Korea which 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:47.960 are nailing it in sports like archery. Wow, that men's 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:51.560 final was unbelievable last night. But let's focus in on 0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:54.640 Queensland because I've got to say well done to Chris 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:56.160 Jones and all of the people of the corea are 0:01:56.200 --> 0:02:00.360 because they found a way to Queensland a fire Smpics 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.560 that are taking place in Paris right now. They have 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:09.240 worked out the Queensland and athletes from Queensland have taken 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:11.440 half more than half of. 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:12.600 Australia's gold medals. 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:16.079 In fact, if the Sunshine Sunshine State was a nation 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.320 as of Sunday, I would have tied with Japan for 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:21.919 seventh place on the middle Talley. Not all of Australia, 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:26.640 but beautiful Queensland with eight golds, but be ahead of 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:30.400 countries like Canada. Now this may be according to some economists, 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.720 but it's according to your heart where you know. Queensland's 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:37.480 nailing it at the Olympics. Queensland has also guarned five 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:42.200 silver and two bronze. Fifteen medals for beautiful Queensland. Oh 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:45.000 those blood transfusions. I need to become one to be 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:48.000 equally proud. But the good people of the quartery male 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.560 laying it on with a trowel. They continue one point 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:54.400 three medias residents seven gold medals. Brisbane is second. 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:57.600 Per capita on the middle tally, with a gold for 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:01.079 every one hundred and eighty nine thousand residents. The Caribbean 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:04.360 island of Saint Lucia is the only place doing better. 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:07.040 So queens Australia might be running in the. 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:12.000 Top five at fourth, Queensland is running second. 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.160 Getting ready for Olympics, eight years from now. 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.760 As for those wonderful Queenslanders that have been winning their 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.040 gold medals, many of them coming from the pool, all 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:22.240 of them of course taking strength from the beautiful sun 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.480 that exists north of the tweed. 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:26.880 As soon as you hit cool and gatter against golder 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:28.400 and golder, the more you go. 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:33.320 And that incredible performance of course in the BMX, which 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:35.880 is so cool that the story of that lady unbelievable. 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:36.560 Hopefully we get a. 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.440 Chance to talk to her when we're allowed to, and 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:41.800 channel Line doesn't own everything what she was able to do, 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:45.040 incredible getting over the incredible difficulties that she's had her 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:48.160 brother as well. But most importantly before I get to 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.600 all the other depressing stuff that's around today, and there's 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.280 a bit do Queensland. 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:56.080 Now. 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:57.920 As you know, you who have been told many many 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:00.760 times by people in the United States, people who said 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:03.360 that Joe Biden was completely smart and up to it, 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.840 that their economy is amazing. 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:10.080 We've created more jobs, We've may run a situation where 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:13.440 people have access to good paying jobs. This last week 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:16.560 we saw the biggest jump in thirty years. And how 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:20.080 positive consumers are feeling about the economy, the unemployment rate 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.000 fell to three point four percent. 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.359 That's the lowest in fifty four years. 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:26.960 We came in office, and we knew because we. 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.520 Are of and care about the people as opposed to 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.080 the richest billionaires, which is who the former president gave 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.160 a tax cut to and then created one of the 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.159 largest deficits our country has ever seen. 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:41.479 Expect that for four more years. 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:43.320 Well, by the way, I'm not entirely sure he'specsal to 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:46.799 do this when you're public speaking, but whatever, Joe deserves 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.320 a spot on Mount Rushmore. Now, this is not about 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:52.200 American politics. It's about the global economy and its effects 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:55.039 on the Australian economy because anyone who watches the share 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:58.440 market knows there was a massive effect on the mean 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:01.760 suggestion that the the United States, despite all appearances, is 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:03.760 actually heading towards a recession. 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:06.920 One that they would hit in and around election day. 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:11.560 Now this matters because literally today the media, well it 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.640 hair was on fire because they're heading for a recession. 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.440 For fears of a recession in the US. 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:21.160 With fears the US is headed for recession, there's concerned 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.719 things could get worse before they get better. 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.560 Traders are reacting to fears there could be a recession 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:27.320 in the US. 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.440 So, yes, stock markets go up, they go down. Over 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.000 the long period of time, they generally go up. But 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:36.000 I am a financial planner and seek your individual advice 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:37.720 or whatever. The thing I legally have to say is, 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.360 but guess how much money was wiped off the Australian 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:44.080 stock exchange today on the fears of a recession. 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:44.680 In the United States. 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.200 Not five, not ten, not fifty, not seventy five, but 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.520 one hundred, one hundred b four billion dollars. It's more 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.800 than that over the past couple of days. And there 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:56.320 are huge problems ross green we can explain. 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:56.599 It better than me. 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.640 One hundred billion dollars or so I've been wiped from 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:02.440 the value of the Australian stock market. 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:06.440 And also the issues exist around the world. It isn't 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.640 just Australia and time zones. This problem, which normally can 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:11.719 say start in the United States and take its way 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:15.440 around for twenty four hours, well it's going global financial times. 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:19.640 Global share markets are tumbling. Al Jazeera says that Japan's 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:22.799 Nikeye has slumped the worst it's been since nineteen eighty seven. 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.560 Today's stock exchange, by the way, for was the worst 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:29.320 since the pandemic. London has gone down by more than 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:32.760 eight percent. European market's down by two and a half percent, 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:35.960 Banks in particular coppying a whack. Now, all of this 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:39.560 matters because, of course, all of your money, or a 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:41.880 big chunk of our moneys are linked in what happens 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:45.400 on the stock market with compulsitive superannuation. Part or all 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:46.960 of it, whether you're paying attention to it or not, 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.200 ends up being exposed to the stock market. 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:50.400 So if you're planning to. 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.960 Retire in the next couple of weeks, this might be difficult. 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.400 If it's this year, it may be particularly difficult. It 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:57.800 doesn't matter in say, twenty years time. But we keep 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:00.280 being told how amazing and resilient and incredibly the American 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:03.200 economy is a little bit like we keep being told here, 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:08.880 So why is the recession talk taking place ross this report? 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:09.520 Right here? 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:13.280 The US Employment report was released Friday night, our time. 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:16.280 So the US unemployment rate it jumped to four point 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:19.480 three percent from four point one percent previously. The number 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:22.320 of unemployed people in America jump by three hundred and 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.280 fifty two thousand people to seven point two million. Now, 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.560 this was way outside any of the estimates. It's spooped 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:29.920 the markets big time. 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:32.840 Now this is a reminder about what is on the 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:36.320 line in November why it matters to us here in Australia. 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:38.640 The conversation about the horse race and the latest this 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:40.800 and that may bore you, but the consequences of whom 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:44.800 is in charge of the American economy matters to anyone 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:46.880 who gets to watch this in the United States on YouTube. 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:49.080 I have one question for you, who do you want 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:52.760 running your economy? A billionaire who did incredibly well in 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:55.240 his private wealth, but more importantly, was able to put 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:57.160 the country in a place where not just the country 0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:01.040 was doing better, but individuals were doing better. Or the 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:03.840 vice president who says she has nothing to do with 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.280 the decisions of the current president, even though she should 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.000 be qualified to be the president because she's been the 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:11.840 vice president. Oh yeah, and she knows stuff like inflation. 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:17.320 Bread costs more, the gas costs more, and we have 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:20.640 to understand what that means. That's about the cost of 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:25.920 living going up. That's about having to stress and stretch 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:30.440 limited resources. That's about a source of stress for families 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:34.240 that is not only economic, but is on a daily level, 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.000 something that is a heavyweight to carry. 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:41.240 That person in charge of the American and thus global 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:44.160 economy for the next four years. Well, the final bit 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:47.120 of data I have for you is she is currently leading. 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:51.640 She is currently winning. Harris is now favored to get 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:54.520 the popular vote and to get the electoral College. Why 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.439 because Pennsylvania is starting to move in her direction. If 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:00.240 that's the case, good luck. It's going to be fun 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.240 ride when it comes to the economy. Oh but Donald 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:05.560 Trump says mean things. I'll take that over what might 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:06.560 be coming any day. 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.120 Now. Of course, the world has changed a lot over 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:10.520 the years. 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:13.560 It feels like it changes twenty years every two years. 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.040 And it's a long time ago when people were gathered 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.679 around the radio for the latest bit of information. I 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:20.520 do like them deliberately. Not only did we pick the 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:21.959 black and white photo, but we tried to find the 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:25.280 oldest people possible sitting around a radio a long time ago. Anyway, 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:28.400 that's from the National Museum. But of course, nowadays, plenty 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.240 of people getting their information in lots of different ways, 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:31.800 and lots of different ways. You may will be watching 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.679 this program, and of course many people do so via 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:38.200 their mobile phone. Speaking of did you know that Sky 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:40.760 News is a brand new app. In fact, it's available 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:42.560 right now with more details at skinnies dot com. That 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:44.120 are you and for as little as five dollars a month, 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:45.520 you can stream whatever you want when it comes to 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:46.600 the Sky News programming. 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.800 Sorry back to the point, but of course. 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:51.480 We know that one of the biggest things that people 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:53.600 are doing with their phones is interacting on some level 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:57.240 with social media or with big tech companies. Now when 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:00.320 it comes to Facebook, their parent company is Meta, and 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.440 we know their attitude when it comes to Australia and 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:08.560 paying for Australian news, they of course are planning to 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:12.680 potentially block Australians from being able to have news on 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:16.239 the platform. The federal government is talking about potentially censoring 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:18.560 the Internet about what type of news that you can 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:21.120 see on places like Facebook, but you know nothing to 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:24.360 see here. Meantime, of course, we remember that before the 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:28.240 twenty twenty election, there was apparently a story which may 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.720 well have shifted about two three percent of people's votes 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:33.319 that would have been enough to get a different result, 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.480 and that of course was the Hunter Biden laptop. 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:37.400 Paul, this is old news. Why do you talk about it? 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:41.439 Because it doesn't matter what happens after they've blocked it. 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:44.360 It's their power to do things in the moment. It 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:47.559 doesn't matter who apologizes in two, three, four, six months 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.960 or a year's time. But of course, if you are 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:53.199 blocked about the information that you are able to see, 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:55.800 then it may well end up influencing your perception of 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.079 the world around you. Now, of course, Zuckerbird said that 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.720 it was nothing political as to why the Hunt laptop 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.559 was banned from Facebook or from Twitter, platform he does 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:04.880 not own. 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.880 But you get my point. Remember he told Joe Rogan. 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:11.400 That it was the FBI, the FBI who told him 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:13.559 to do it. So of course if the FBI says it, 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:16.160 it must be true. The intelligence agencies never get it wrong. 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:20.320 We'll never try to get a political out come, do they. 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:25.040 And then, of course the laptop was always true. Miranda 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.319 Devines reporting on it was excellent. It was a disgrace 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:29.680 that it was hidden the way that it was, the 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:31.680 fact that the media didn't even talk about the hiding 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:33.520 because of course, all of it led to a potential 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:35.760 negative story for the person they were trying to get 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:36.920 up over the basement. 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:39.319 You get my point here, But. 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:42.040 Guess what was used in the criminal trial against Hunter 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:45.280 Biden when it came to his applying for a gun license. 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:49.600 Something eventually found was found guilty of the laptop. So 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.600 we knew the laptop was real in twenty and twenty. 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:55.040 We knew it in twenty one, they admitted it in 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.880 twenty two, twenty three, they used it in evidence in 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:03.959 twenty four. But again, the control of these mass platforms 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:06.920 is playing out in this American election, and there is 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:10.440 a connection to the Australian election. Again, two things can 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:14.440 be true at the same time. This iconic photo of 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:18.360 Donald Trump after being shot at is something that will 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:21.920 forever live as a moment of defiance from a man 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:25.280 who was at least a one term, potentially two term president. 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:29.400 But in the past week or so, that very image 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:33.680 has been in part censored or community noted or downplayed 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:39.760 in Google or Facebook. Why, oh, of course, we just 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.200 made a mistake. I know it had nothing to do 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:44.440 with the fact that his poll numbers went up after 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:46.600 the shooting. The iconic image shows that this was a 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.040 man who showed courage under fire. But let's start to 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:54.000 hide the image because we're now pushing Queen Kamala. But 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:57.120 then there's also Google. Now, Google, of course is not 0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:59.160 just the way that people search for their information, but 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:02.199 there's connections to all other forms of social media. Their 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:06.240 parent company, Alphabet, is very familiar to Australians. In fact, 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:09.040 when you go searching for something on the Internet, you 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:11.520 don't search, you Google it in the same way that 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:12.199 you don't drink a. 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:13.520 Soft drink you have a coke. 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:19.240 Ninety four percent of people, ninety four percent of people 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:20.959 when they go looking for something on the Internet will 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:24.240 do it through Google first, which means the results that 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:27.719 they send you are important. And we all have the 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:31.120 assumption that just naturally information in comes information back eh 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:36.040 algorithms finger on, the algorithm bias of the employees may 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:37.920 well be effect and the information that is coming back 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:40.320 to you. Again, there is a connection to the Australian 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:43.680 political system. I'll get to it in the moment. A 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.040 couple of years ago there was an ex Google engineer 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:49.640 who talked about the active bias inside the company, how 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:51.760 it affects itself, not just in the work ways that 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:54.000 it runs itself, but again sometimes how it fiddles with 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:57.280 the things you're able to see. Last week, if you 0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:01.200 just typed in the word Donald Trump, is nothing came 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:04.240 up when it came to Google. Elon Musk pointed this 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.200 out as a major problem, but of course it was 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:10.960 all just a mistake again to rob people of information, 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:14.439 to shape people's information in the very vital couple of 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:17.720 weeks as they were transitioning from Biden to Harris. Nothing 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:19.880 to see here, of course, to mention, this is a 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:21.680 far right wing conspiracy. 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:26.280 So let's get to Australia. Is this stuff happening here? 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:28.840 The truth is that in. 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:32.760 The same way people blindly assume that Google is as 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:36.880 trustworthy as the Dewey decimal cards used to look for 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:40.120 in a library when you were at school, it ain't true. 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:40.680 Now. 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:43.800 Of course, It's an incredible tool with great information that 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:46.200 will not at all be turned against me for pointing 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:49.160 these things out. But there was an interesting conversation that 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:53.040 a leading expert had with Alexantik, the Liberal Senator on 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:56.720 his podcast. Dr Robert Epstein is his name and the 0:14:56.880 --> 0:15:00.200 behavioral psychologist. He says that he has quote no doubt 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:05.560 that Google is manipulating Australia's elections by subtlely biasing search engines. 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.960 He said in the podcast, Australia has no monitoring system, 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:12.200 the European Union no monitoring system. If anyone in Google 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:14.480 in Australia has any political interests in Australia, I have 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:17.520 no doubt, absolutely no doubt that they're manipulating your elections. 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:19.880 Now again, this is not a Google inside, it's a 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:23.560 behavioral psychologist. Google will of course, no doubt deny, but 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.720 still important to know because we're not all. 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:28.240 Sitting around the radio anymore. 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:30.880 We are getting our information from lots of different places, 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:32.840 in lots of different ways, and as we have seen, 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:36.120 we have a federal government that still is committed to 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:37.640 censoring the Internet. 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:39.080 For example, this. 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:43.280 Conversation right now, If a left wing fact check it 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:47.000 turns around advites anyone of it to be misinformation or 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:50.160 misleading or incorrect, then of course that is flagged. 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:51.480 That is flagged then. 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:54.120 By the Australian Communications and Media Authority, who are about 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:57.000 to be given the power to find a social media 0:15:57.040 --> 0:16:01.120 company if they post an example this conversation happening right now, 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:05.440 because if misinformation remains on the platforms, then the Australian 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:08.960 federal government will find the social media companies until they 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.360 remove it. And of course what does every company do 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:14.720 well if they keep getting notices that the information coming 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:16.360 from a certain source has been defined by a left 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.640 wing think tank to be misinformation, and there's a fine 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:21.800 attach with it. Eventually you won't be able to post it, 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:23.520 you won't be able to see it, you won't be 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.920 able to share it. So you literally have a federal 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.560 government right now that wants to sense of the internet. 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:33.680 No one asks anyone about this every day, the Prime 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:37.240 Minister too, no questions about this, because of course the 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:40.280 assumption is this will only affect the right wing it 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:43.560 Sky News primetime, the evil people who push back against 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:46.640 the narratives. That's what we can see with our own eyes. 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:49.240 What can we not see when it comes to the 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:53.520 Google or Facebook algorithms. We know that when you start 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:56.160 to take some of the restrictions off, you get Twitter 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:58.680 and x and some people don't like that because they're 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:00.000 starting to see some of the stuff that will be 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.840 slowly but surely weed it out of the system to 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:05.399 make sure that it was a perfect lefty echo chamber. 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.600 This bloke continues in his conversation, though right at this minute, 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:11.280 Google is sending registered to vote reminders to members of 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:14.320 one political party, that being the Democrats, and two and 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:18.560 a half times they rate that they're sending those registered 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:22.919 reminders to Republicans, so put simply, they are saying, hey, 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:25.480 don't forget to vote. But they're telling Democrats more frequently 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:28.800 than they are, according to this bloke, to Republicans. Now, 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:30.600 we have a compulsory voting system, so don't need to 0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:31.680 be reminded how to vote. 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:34.359 But what video goes to the top of search? 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:38.280 What story is the one that immediately comes up when 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:39.159 you say Peter Dutton? 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:40.600 Is all of it is. 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:44.200 Controlled by the faceless machine, right, final one from this bloke. 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:48.200 We know from very rigorous research that the go vote 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:50.119 reminder alone in the United States on election day can 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:52.200 easily send f one hundred and fifty thousand more votes 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:54.720 on that day to one candidate than the other. That's 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:56.639 going to happen in Australia too. Again, I don't know 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:58.800 that's the case because compulsory voting, so they might be 0:17:58.800 --> 0:17:59.720 guilty of the lily there. 0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:01.200 But this is the point. 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:04.960 In the same way that media literacy means that people 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:08.080 are able to see a certain series of opinions or 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:13.520 biases in newspaper, television, radio coverage, the same exists on 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:16.840 the Internet. But the biases isn't from the author, it's 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:19.040 from the person who is putting it up, from the 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:24.119 person who is helping take you to the articles. But 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:26.600 a government that is wanting to censor the Internet on 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:28.840 top of whatever it might be happening behind the scenes 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:34.000 is frightening. But of course Peter Dunn's the problem. This 0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:36.399 week the Reserve Bank will have yet another meeting. The 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:41.200 expectation is that fingers crossed, they will not be raising 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:44.360 interest rates. But of course people want fingers crossed right 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:48.359 now because the interest rates under Albow and Charmers have 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:53.159 gone through the roof. People are genuinely concerned because the 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:54.880 reality is and look, let's just look at the data 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:56.800 here and I'll tell you what I drove out all 0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:59.760 the stops on this graph, I'm using one from SBS, 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:01.760 but I just added a little bit here in blue. 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:04.920 Since the Labor Party took over, there have been twelve 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:08.239 interrastrate rises. It stayed level, but it stayed level at 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:11.240 a really high level for a really long period of time. 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:12.199 Drink that in. 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:14.280 Will come up with a prettier version when we use 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:17.000 the common sixty four to come up with one later. 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:19.200 But have a look at that one interstrate rise under 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:24.359 this previous government twelve under this one. Ah, but trust us, 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:26.000 we know what we're doing when it comes to the economy. 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:27.520
