Speaker 1: On Scoring Lives Australia. This is the Wider Panalty Show.
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Patty Show. Coming
Speaker 2: up tonight, President Donald Trump announces a cease fire. Will
Speaker 2: this be the end of the twelve day war? Kosher
Speaker 2: Gata will be with me shortly to discuss Security experts
Speaker 2: warn Australian teenagers may become radicalized due to the conflict
Speaker 2: in the Middle East. The panel will weigh in on
Speaker 2: that issue and much more. We will look at some
Speaker 2: new research showing the dangers of medicalized transgender treatments. And
Speaker 2: we'll also look at the radical socialists who may be
Speaker 2: elected mayor of New York and left He's losing. It
Speaker 2: is full of good news tonight, including the musings of
Speaker 2: international law expert and view co host Sunny Austin.
Speaker 3: I believe this is certainly a clear violation of international
Speaker 3: law at the very least.
Speaker 2: But first, the conflict in the Middle East has raised
Speaker 2: alarm bells about homegrown terrorism on Australian soil. Security experts
Speaker 2: have worn vulnerable Australian teenagers are at risk of being
Speaker 2: radicalized and becoming gey hardest acting Opposition Foreign Affairs spokesman
Speaker 2: Andrew Hasty has also warned about the Iranian regime engaging
Speaker 2: in foreign interference.
Speaker 4: I think the Kods Force, which is the unconventional special
Speaker 4: operations wing of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, very methodical.
Speaker 5: Very patient.
Speaker 4: There's something we've got to watch very closely. And there's
Speaker 4: the reason why Mike Burgess, the Director General of ASIO,
Speaker 4: mentioned the Iranians in his annual threat update, particularly around
Speaker 4: foreign interference.
Speaker 2: So this is a risk for.
Speaker 4: The US particularly, but also allies as well.
Speaker 2: Let's bring in the panel. We've got Sky News contributors
Speaker 2: Tina McQueen and Prue McSween teena. I'll start with you.
Speaker 2: We saw scores of Australian residents travel to the Middle
Speaker 2: East to join the Caliphate, to join Islamic State. Do
Speaker 2: you think there's any risk this conflict will see the
Speaker 2: same thing happen. We'll see young people become radicalized.
Speaker 6: Oh, sadly, there is a big risk, greader. You've only
Speaker 6: got to look at the protests on the weekend, the
Speaker 6: pro Palestine now pro Iranian protests all through the Sydney CBD,
Speaker 6: the elevated attacks on the Jewish community community in different areas.
Speaker 6: So there's a big risk. I think this has to
Speaker 6: be closely monitored in Australia and I'm sure they have
Speaker 6: the methods and know how to do that, but that
Speaker 6: is they get so it seem to be excited by
Speaker 6: this rita and forget that they're Australians living in Australia.
Speaker 6: It's really sad to see and I don't know how
Speaker 6: we're going to combat this.
Speaker 2: Pre and internationally we've already seen incidents. Is that Mixed
Speaker 2: State has claimed credit for a terror plot in Syria
Speaker 2: where a suicide bomba killed twenty two people at a
Speaker 2: Christian church in Damascus over the weekend. We've been so
Speaker 2: lucky in this country, really, haven't we prove in that
Speaker 2: major terror plots have been foiled before they've been executed.
Speaker 2: We may not always be that lucky.
Speaker 7: Well that's the problem, you know, and luck shouldn't be
Speaker 7: a factor, should it reta? But I just fail to
Speaker 7: understand why government hasn't acted on these radical imams who
Speaker 7: are poisoning the young minds. That this is the greatest source,
Speaker 7: I believe of homegrown terror and we've seen that with
Speaker 7: past examples, and we are aware that homegrown terrorism.
Speaker 6: Is there, and we have been lucky, but how long will.
Speaker 8: That luck last?
Speaker 2: Now? The E Safety Commissioner is continuing her push for
Speaker 2: greater online shep Are you recall she tried to get
Speaker 2: a worldwide ban on that alleged terror attack at a
Speaker 2: Christian church in Sydney last year. Well, now she wants
Speaker 2: YouTube added to the government's social media ban for under sixteen.
Speaker 2: It's a survey by the E Safety Commissioner earlier this
Speaker 2: year found that YouTube was the most used platform by
Speaker 2: ten to fifteen year olds by a significant margin. And
Speaker 2: Julie Inman grant Tina. She's arguing in her speech at
Speaker 2: the National Press Club today that around seven to ten
Speaker 2: kids report being exposed to harmful online content, such as
Speaker 2: what she thinks is misogynistic or hateful material. What's your
Speaker 2: take on this issue?
Speaker 6: Oh, look, I think, you know, I think I think
Speaker 6: some sort of ban would be great for under sixteens,
Speaker 6: but it's going to be so difficult to enforce. I
Speaker 6: think parents need to take a greater role on this.
Speaker 6: There's different apps you can apply so the kids can't
Speaker 6: access that. Don't get them the iPhones where they can,
Speaker 6: you know, have the ability to go on the net
Speaker 6: anywhere anywhere they are. But also, I mean, you've only
Speaker 6: got to look at television reader, Netflix, stand even free
Speaker 6: to air TV.
Speaker 2: There's some disgusting episodes on television.
Speaker 6: So you know, it's not just the Internet that is
Speaker 6: dangerous for kids. It's everywhere now that we have to
Speaker 6: be really, really careful and parents need to take a
Speaker 6: stronger approach in really looking closely at what their kids
Speaker 6: are looking at, take some responsibility.
Speaker 2: Prou I've got to say I disagree. I do not
Speaker 2: like this sort of censorship at all. I don't want
Speaker 2: the likes of Julie Inman Grant deciding what's hateful material
Speaker 2: pro should it be something that is left to parents
Speaker 2: or parents really not equipped to deal with this sort
Speaker 2: of issue, given the kids are so much better with
Speaker 2: tech than than their parents.
Speaker 7: Well, I think you know, it's got to be the parents.
Speaker 7: I agree that kids can get around anything technical these
Speaker 7: days and leave us all for dead. But you know,
Speaker 7: I'm sick of kids being cotton wooled and snowflaked, and
Speaker 7: that's what we're bringing raising. Sadly, I just always feel
Speaker 7: there's a focus on the risk rather than the benefits,
Speaker 7: particularly with YouTube, where you know they have education and
Speaker 7: health benefits, and it's really strongly supported. I think seventy
Speaker 7: nine percent of kids ten to fifteen use it for
Speaker 7: those reasons. And you know, when I was a kid,
Speaker 7: I used to sneak looking at, you know, the books
Speaker 7: that my mother used to wear that were sort of
Speaker 7: naughty you're used to read, and you sort of think, well,
Speaker 7: you know, this is natural for kids to want to
Speaker 7: investigate and explore, and obviously we've got to be careful
Speaker 7: that we supervise them. But I just feel very uncomfortable
Speaker 7: having governments telling us what we can and look at
Speaker 7: and read read it.
Speaker 6: There's also a positive aspect to this. I have an
Speaker 6: levenyear old grandson that you know, has a slight TikTok
Speaker 6: account here, so over half million followers that discuss lunar
Speaker 6: parts w you know, it's hysterical. I can't believe he
Speaker 6: had more followers than what the Liberal Liberal Party did
Speaker 6: during the election. They should have imployed him. But there's
Speaker 6: the positives where where it can it can be very
Speaker 6: good for kids.
Speaker 2: Well, absolutely, and I think it's just foolish to try
Speaker 2: to impose these sorts of controls. Sure get rid of
Speaker 2: things that are threats things that are explicit materials that
Speaker 2: kids should be protected from. But you don't need to
Speaker 2: be banning YouTube. The This is how kids consume information
Speaker 2: and I just think it's such a counterproductive thing to
Speaker 2: be doing. And to have someone ideological lefteris like Julie
Speaker 2: Inman Grant making those calls. I mean that is just
Speaker 2: alarm bells. Yeah, no, that is that that something. Really
Speaker 2: the coalition needs to come out and take a stand,
Speaker 2: but sadly they've been really silent on this issue. Let's
Speaker 2: talk local government. Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore has announced
Speaker 2: that gas appliances will be banned in new homes from
Speaker 2: next year. She's also proposing to ban gas from new offices,
Speaker 2: hotels and service departments. Tina, she's your local mayor. What
Speaker 2: do you make of this policy? Will you be changing
Speaker 2: your appliances?
Speaker 6: I'd like to ban Clover more, That's what I'd like
Speaker 6: to do. Look, I'm no great cook, but I have
Speaker 6: friends that are, and they do tell me some dishes
Speaker 6: are really impossible to cook. And regulate a control with
Speaker 6: our gas appliances.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is crazy.
Speaker 6: People should be given the choice. We should not be
Speaker 6: dictated by some woman that's been there far too long.
Speaker 2: I mean, as soon as she goes.
Speaker 9: The better.
Speaker 2: H Prue, what do you say to that? I know
Speaker 2: it's I mean, can you even put a walk on
Speaker 2: an electric cook top? It doesn't make sense. You need
Speaker 2: you need the flames.
Speaker 7: Of course you do, or they're saying inductions as good.
Speaker 7: But first of all, we're going to need electricity to
Speaker 7: actually fire up all these ovens and cook tops because
Speaker 7: the rate we're going, we're in Fancy's fantasy land with
Speaker 7: the renewables, We're not going to have electricity supply that
Speaker 7: could even cook a stir for in time.
Speaker 2: You know, we've got councils.
Speaker 7: Like Clover Moore and Buly's six others are trying to
Speaker 7: do it, and seven have already done it.
Speaker 2: I mean, get out.
Speaker 7: Of our lives, stick to the roads and rates and rubbish,
Speaker 7: and you know it's not your jurisdiction.
Speaker 2: She's got a large Asian.
Speaker 7: Contingency in the city of Sydney who always cook on walks,
Speaker 7: so she's she's not going to make herself very popular
Speaker 7: in that area. So I just think she's always overstepping
Speaker 7: the mark.
Speaker 2: God knows why. She's got nothing better to do.
Speaker 7: Clearly put her to pasture or something.
Speaker 2: Well, the Victorian government, they've got all sorts of statewide
Speaker 2: restrictions on gas and they're not particularly popular either, but
Speaker 2: they're pressing ahead and they've announced a whole bunch of
Speaker 2: new regulations today, particularly for rental properties. Now, I want
Speaker 2: to just get your take on what's happening with international travel.
Speaker 2: Australians have been worn that they maybe travel chaos in
Speaker 2: the peak season due to the Iran Israel conflict, with
Speaker 2: flights from Australia to the milease delayed and canceled in
Speaker 2: some cases. Prove that timing couldn't be worse for travelers,
Speaker 2: given that many Australians do transit through the Middle East
Speaker 2: to reach Europe.
Speaker 7: Well, it wouldn't be me, Reta. I wouldn't risk it
Speaker 7: because you can't trust Iran, and that's for sure. They're
Speaker 7: talking seats fire, but you just couldn't believe it, So
Speaker 7: I would be staying at home, day at home. I've
Speaker 7: got to say, on the upside.
Speaker 6: There may be some cheap seats available REDA if.
Speaker 2: You're into advention. Seemed to me, yeah, well you would
Speaker 2: hope that. But no, it seems with the flight cancelations there.
Speaker 2: The scarcity is making the fares even higher during peak season.
Speaker 2: So people seem to be pretty bold these days, Tina.
Speaker 2: After the COVID lockdowns, people want to get out there
Speaker 2: and travel.
Speaker 6: That's right, that's right. I mean, you know, anything could
Speaker 6: happen anytime in the world. I think, if you've spent
Speaker 6: a lot of money on travel plans, you know, go
Speaker 6: for it. Be sensible about it. Look at the government
Speaker 6: travel warnings. But you know, if I had a big,
Speaker 6: expensive holiday plan, I'd still be going. Look to this day,
Speaker 6: I'd still love to be in Israel at this at
Speaker 6: this moment. I know it's very dangerous and not a
Speaker 6: great place to be, but it's such a fascinating country, Rita,
Speaker 6: So if I had a tip to Israel planned, I'd
Speaker 6: certainly still be going.
Speaker 2: I was there in December, and yeah, there's nowhere else
Speaker 2: like it in the world, Tina, and pro thank you
Speaker 2: so much for your time tonight. Thanks to America. And
Speaker 2: while the Democrats play the role of the Iranian Muller's
Speaker 2: useful idiots, railing against the military action and calling for
Speaker 2: Donald Trump to be impeached, the president has been busy
Speaker 2: securing a seaspire, what he calls a complete and total ceasepire.
Speaker 2: Let's hear more on that from Vice President JdE Vance.
Speaker 10: What it means, Brett's quite simple. First of all, the President,
Speaker 10: without knock on Wood, having a single American casualty, obliterated
Speaker 10: the Iranian nuclear program. We are now in a place
Speaker 10: where we weren't a week ago. Week ago, Iran was
Speaker 10: very close to having a nuclear weapon. Now Iran is
Speaker 10: incapable of building a nuclear weapon with the equipment they
Speaker 10: have because we destroyed it. So that's a very very
Speaker 10: big thing.
Speaker 11: Now.
Speaker 10: What that means, I think is we have to talk
Speaker 10: to Iran and of course to Israel about what the
Speaker 10: future holds. Because while we have obliterated the Iranian nuclear program,
Speaker 10: our hope and our expectation is that they're not going
Speaker 10: to try to rebuild that program. And I think that's
Speaker 10: what the President is really trying to figure out here,
Speaker 10: is to build a long term settlement here to where
Speaker 10: we can have peace in the region, where our regional
Speaker 10: allies and of course the American people most importantly can
Speaker 10: be secured, but where we can ensure that the destruction
Speaker 10: of the Iranian nuclear program that has already happened is
Speaker 10: not something they try to rebuild and on that ceasefire.
Speaker 2: Earlier today, Donald Trump announced the end of what he
Speaker 2: called the twelve Day War. He wrote, congratulations to everyone.
Speaker 2: It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and
Speaker 2: Iran that there will be a complete and total cease
Speaker 2: fire in approximately six hours from now, when Israel and
Speaker 2: Iran have wound down and completed their in progress final
Speaker 2: missions for twelve hours, at which point the war will
Speaker 2: be considered ended. Officially, Iran will start the ceasefire, and
Speaker 2: upon the twelfth hour, Israel will start the ceasefire, and
Speaker 2: upon the twenty fourth hour, an official to the twelve
Speaker 2: day War will be saluted by the world. During each ceasefire,
Speaker 2: the other side will remain peaceful and respectful on the
Speaker 2: assumption that everything works as it should, which it will.
Speaker 2: I would like to congratulate both countries, Israel and Iran,
Speaker 2: on having the stamina, courage, and intelligence to end what
Speaker 2: should be called the twelve Day War. This is a
Speaker 2: war that could have gone on for years and destroyed
Speaker 2: the entire Middle East, but it didn't and never will.
Speaker 2: Let's bring in Sky News contributor Kosher Gaeta Kosher What
Speaker 2: are the chances that this ceasefire will hold. I'm surprised
Speaker 2: it's been agreed to in the first place, but will
Speaker 2: it be lasting?
Speaker 12: That is a million dollar question on everybody's mind. What
Speaker 12: a whirl win seventy two hours this has been from
Speaker 12: that first bombing to where we are now, and this
Speaker 12: is far on the table. Allegedly the split in the
Speaker 12: Trump bes that I think is healing, but the side
Speaker 12: that was very strongly opposed to this is for that reason,
Speaker 12: And how can we trust this work? What are going
Speaker 12: to be the scene and unseen consequences down the road. However,
Speaker 12: just as Vice President Vance said over there, they don't
Speaker 12: have much to come back from the Ranians, So it
Speaker 12: feels difficult to see that they're going to engage in
Speaker 12: this kind of kinetic back and forth because they're pretty
Speaker 12: much depleted in terms of their leadership, in terms of
Speaker 12: their missiles and everything else. Could they do other things
Speaker 12: like sleeper cells and things like that over the long term.
Speaker 12: Possibly that is still a worry, But as of now,
Speaker 12: I think we're sitting in a pretty good place where
Speaker 12: their nuclear capability has been annihilated, their leadership has gone.
Speaker 12: Boots on the ground gone, other long range missiles depleted,
Speaker 12: and conversely, we don't have American troops on the ground.
Speaker 12: We're not getting sucked into forever wars. We're not going
Speaker 12: into this regime change fantasy which many were pushing as well.
Speaker 12: So he seems to have thread the needle quite well.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 2: That seems to be a pretty good point, isn't it.
Speaker 2: It's one thing to have the stealth bombers with the
Speaker 2: secret mission, but to have boots on the ground is
Speaker 2: I think something that many Americans from both sides of
Speaker 2: politicus would be dead set against.
Speaker 12: One hundred percent. And Trump was That's the thing that
Speaker 12: gave some people pause or concerned that we doesn't want that.
Speaker 12: There is something called incrementalism, and you take one action,
Speaker 12: does it lead to the slippery slope? But he is
Speaker 12: very strongly against that. The American people are very weary
Speaker 12: after twenty five years of a failed adventure in the
Speaker 12: Middle East to little to noah veil, and I think
Speaker 12: that's dead un arrival.
Speaker 2: Now, what do you make of the manner in which
Speaker 2: the Australian government has handled this matter? And the Albin
Speaker 2: Easy has belatedly expressed support for Donald Trump's strikes on
Speaker 2: Iran's nuclear program, but that came after Foreign Minister Penny
Speaker 2: One called for de escalation before the strikes. It's all
Speaker 2: very confusing. I don't know how that can be very
Speaker 2: supportive when just before the strikes that were calling for
Speaker 2: de escalation. This is isolate us a little bit more
Speaker 2: that surely the US and Israel can't be particularly happy
Speaker 2: with Australia at this point.
Speaker 12: When I look at the timing and manner of the
Speaker 12: statements that are coming out of the Albanese administration, it
Speaker 12: just comes across as playing a very very safe, very
Speaker 12: focused grouped almost when they're looking at different factions in
Speaker 12: their party back home. And this was a controversial move,
Speaker 12: there's no question, and by in large we all wanted
Speaker 12: to prevent escalation. So I understand where they're coming from
Speaker 12: with having some of those statements out there, But the
Speaker 12: way they come across is just too safe, too little,
Speaker 12: too much juniversity and not playing in the big leagues
Speaker 12: or representing Australia kind of at the big boys table.
Speaker 12: It sort of looks like they'ret the kids' table.
Speaker 2: It seems very much amateur hour with sort of antiques.
Speaker 2: It's not something where their statements seem to be useful
Speaker 2: to the country. Surely, what we want to be doing,
Speaker 2: if we want to have any sort of input, would
Speaker 2: be to be in a better position at the end
Speaker 2: of this operation than beforehand. And I think we've just
Speaker 2: given the Americans more reason to doubt where we stand,
Speaker 2: especially given the reluctance to increased defense spending as has
Speaker 2: been requested by the Trump administration.
Speaker 12: Reluctant to do that. The optics of being snubbed at
Speaker 12: the G seven, not grabbing the bull by the horns
Speaker 12: and getting a White House meeting in the Oval Office already, and.
Speaker 2: Not even getting a meeting with the Vice President. I
Speaker 2: think Anthony Abaneze there was a massive misstep to think
Speaker 2: that I'm the leader of the country, I must meet
Speaker 2: the leader of the US and bypass j Evans.
Speaker 12: Right and not grabbing that opportunity when he had it
Speaker 12: so at the Hague, supposedly Richard Morrils is going to
Speaker 12: meet potentially with the President Trump, but we shall see.
Speaker 2: Back to the US and Attorney General Pam Bondi was
Speaker 2: asked about how many Iranian sleeper cells maybe in the
Speaker 2: US right now? How many Iranian sleeper cells do we
Speaker 2: suspect here in.
Speaker 5: The United States, Congressman, I can't talk about that in
Speaker 5: the setting, but what I can tell you is I
Speaker 5: know Homeland Security, I know the FBI. They are focusing
Speaker 5: on doing everything we can to keep our nation safe.
Speaker 5: There is not a day that goes by that we
Speaker 5: don't discuss the issues that you just brought up with
Speaker 5: me at the Department of Justice. But I also know
Speaker 5: that our counterparts at DoD HSI, the State Department, and
Speaker 5: all of our agencies are working together to make America
Speaker 5: safe and in turn keep our world safe kosher.
Speaker 2: She also said there that it was a particularly dangerous
Speaker 2: period for the US. Of course, we saw millions coming
Speaker 2: across that southern border under the Biden administration, no checks,
Speaker 2: no controls, So really, how could they have any idea
Speaker 2: how many sleeper cells they could be in the country.
Speaker 12: And they probably don't. And this is back to what
Speaker 12: we were talking about earlier that with this action, you
Speaker 12: cannot predict every consequence, and we will probably never know
Speaker 12: every consequence is going to come out of it. And
Speaker 12: these kinds of ones, you know, the overt ones like
Speaker 12: the missiles that were striking and intercepted by the US military.
Speaker 12: That was a great showing of the might of American
Speaker 12: military offensively and defensively. But things like this it is
Speaker 12: harder to predict, and it further underscores the Trump administration's
Speaker 12: number one agenda, and really what undergirded his whole rise
Speaker 12: politically is immigration, securing the border, deporting illegals, and that
Speaker 12: is a problem that we've got anywhere from thirty forty
Speaker 12: fifty million. Nobody knows the number of illegals in the country.
Speaker 12: About ten to twelve were allowed just the last four
Speaker 12: years under Joe Biden, tens of thousands of them potentially Iranians.
Speaker 12: Many may very well be sympathetic to the regime and
Speaker 12: not very happy right now. So this is a big problem.
Speaker 12: It is concerning, and hopefully this gives them some more
Speaker 12: ammunition rhetorically speaking, to really deport those people aggressively and
Speaker 12: fight back against all the opposition they're facing internally.
Speaker 2: How will the Democrats handle this escalation? Will they carry
Speaker 2: water for Iran's Islamist regime, for the mad Muller's We've
Speaker 2: heard a lot of claims with the Democrats that the
Speaker 2: strikes were unconstitutional, against international law. We've gone the likes
Speaker 2: of AOC and came Jeffries calling for impeachment. They really
Speaker 2: are getting on the front foot with this, But again
Speaker 2: I wonder whether this is going to be counterproductive for them.
Speaker 12: I think so, and they feel really scattered. There's like
Speaker 12: fifteen different messages that have come out of the Democrat Party.
Speaker 12: You had John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, very very in favor,
Speaker 12: very much in favor of it. You have these guys
Speaker 12: calling for impeachment. Impeachment is their favorite tool of choice
Speaker 12: against Trump. They did it twice over the perfect phone
Speaker 12: call quote unquote and the insurrection that had rise to
Speaker 12: legal standard of insurrections.
Speaker 2: So had they learned from that or do they still
Speaker 2: know that the more radical elements of their supporter base
Speaker 2: get excited when they hear the I word, and they
Speaker 2: are just going to keep going down that road, even
Speaker 2: if it just makes them even more unelectable.
Speaker 12: I think it seems to be the latter. They just
Speaker 12: don't have the votes right now. But if they were
Speaker 12: to gain back the majority in the midterms, which is
Speaker 12: possible because the Publicans have a very slim majority, absolutely,
Speaker 12: I think they're going to find the first pause they
Speaker 12: can cook up to do it. And that's another reason
Speaker 12: why Trump really has to act fast, because who knows
Speaker 12: how much time he has left. If they were to
Speaker 12: do this.
Speaker 2: Well, it's going to be fascinating what they come up with.
Speaker 2: Cook Up, I think was the perfect term there. Now
Speaker 2: to other news, the FBI has launched investigations into who
Speaker 2: is funding and organizing violent protests in the US. What
Speaker 2: NGO's individuals are behind the lawlessness we saw in LA
Speaker 2: and other cities. They can expect to feel the full
Speaker 2: force of the law. Let's here from Bill Asali along
Speaker 2: with FBI Assistant Director Akil Davis and IRS Special Agent
Speaker 2: Tyler Hatcher.
Speaker 13: These violent agitators put peaceful demonstrators at risk. The FBI
Speaker 13: and our fellow partners will continue to investigate individuals and
Speaker 13: organizations who are knowingly funding and committing acts of violence
Speaker 13: against law enforcement, as well as the destruction of property.
Speaker 14: We are currently tracing money to determine who is providing
Speaker 14: funding for these riots. Funding crime doesn't just affect the criminals,
Speaker 14: it also disrupts entire communities. Each dollar funneled into illegal operations,
Speaker 14: fuels violence, underminds law and order, and perpetuates fear. Make
Speaker 14: no mistake, we will identify and disrupt financial network supporting
Speaker 14: these criminal activities.
Speaker 2: This is potentially huge. There are some very rich, very
Speaker 2: influential characters behind some of these NGOs that are suspected
Speaker 2: of aiding and abetting the rioters. And again this is
Speaker 2: something that the Trump base is very energized about.
Speaker 12: This is potentially huge. That old adage follow the money
Speaker 12: rings very true here. If you choke off the money supply.
Speaker 12: A lot of these so called protests that are probably
Speaker 12: not one hundred percent organic, I think a lot of
Speaker 12: people doubt that they are do get severed. It won't
Speaker 12: be easy because the likes of George Soros's name comes
Speaker 12: up and other very powerful people who are going to
Speaker 12: lawyer up. They're going to have judges in their corner
Speaker 12: that are going to try and style me this every
Speaker 12: step of the way. So it's not going to be easy,
Speaker 12: but it does show the power of a full throaded
Speaker 12: approach by the government, all agencies, the IRS they know
Speaker 12: everything about your money, the FBI, the DoD, Homeland Security, Pambindi,
Speaker 12: and the Justice Department, everybody kind of coming together for
Speaker 12: the singular goal of getting these people out and those
Speaker 12: who eat and about them admonished.
Speaker 2: Now before you go. If you were advising the Australian government,
Speaker 2: which has now got a relationship with our biggest ally,
Speaker 2: the US, that isn't the strongest it's been. We've had
Speaker 2: the Prime Minister snubbed repeatedly, how would you look to
Speaker 2: repair that relationship? Had do you? Because we've have the
Speaker 2: trade tariffs to negotiate, we have orcas, we've got the
Speaker 2: defense spending. It's a really critical time and Albaniza needs
Speaker 2: to get some FaceTime with the President.
Speaker 12: I think you have been very clear about Australia first,
Speaker 12: like what is the actual policy gender that puts Australia first,
Speaker 12: and understanding that sometimes that gets complicated as well. You're
Speaker 12: dealing with this tenuous coalition or of different people from
Speaker 12: the Greens all the way to the Centrist so figuring
Speaker 12: that out, and then secondly in teress of dealing with
Speaker 12: the US. Trump is very much a people person at
Speaker 12: the end of the day, in that old fashioned approach
Speaker 12: of building a relationship, finding somebody who has likability with
Speaker 12: him and his team and pushing on that.
Speaker 2: Like that's going to be Kevin Rudd. It looks like
Speaker 2: the ambassador is an impediment, not a help at this point,
Speaker 2: do they have to make a call on that, because
Speaker 2: this relationship has it's tainted, it's it's as weak as
Speaker 2: it's Spain in several decades.
Speaker 12: And he doesn't seem to be pulling away from that Albans.
Speaker 12: He seems to be backing Kevin Rudd and that role.
Speaker 12: But I would have to imagine. I don't think Trump is
Speaker 12: really spending too much time thinking about Australia right now.
Speaker 12: But if it were, and if he said I can't
Speaker 12: work with this guy, send me somebody else, I'm pretty
Speaker 12: sure that would happen.
Speaker 2: Koshigeta, thank you for your time. Pleasure coming up. Lefties
Speaker 2: Losing It Plass three radical socialist NEPO baby on the
Speaker 2: verge of being elected mayor of New York meeting, Alex
Speaker 2: Stein joins me. Next, you're watching the Reader Paney Show,
Speaker 2: and it's time for lefties losing it. You know, nature
Speaker 2: is healing. Things are getting better day by day. Even
Speaker 2: as the demented Democrats called for Donald Trump to be
Speaker 2: impeach Fray targeted strike against Iran's nuclear facilities. Still the
Speaker 2: number of sane, rational folk is increasing. You know things
Speaker 2: are looking up. When a confirmed teds sufferer like Charlemagne
Speaker 2: is relatedly seeing the light. Now this is going to
Speaker 2: outrage his lefty audience. That will be meltdowns galore cause
Speaker 2: his spitting facts.
Speaker 15: There have been a bunch of presidents who have ordered
Speaker 15: strakes without congressional approval. Barack Obama did it against Libya.
Speaker 15: Biden ordered strikes in Iraq and Syria without congressional approval.
Speaker 15: Bill Clinton did it to the Kulsovo. I think you
Speaker 15: can pronounced it. So President's ordering military action without congressional
Speaker 15: approval has become pretty routine.
Speaker 2: And he is not alone. He's another Democrat, another lefty
Speaker 2: losing it. He used to rile against Trump, who is
Speaker 2: now defending him. Stephen I. Smith is angry not at
Speaker 2: the President, but at the Democrats and their calls for impeachment.
Speaker 16: The Democrats are calling, or at least some of them are
Speaker 16: calling for the impeachment of Donald Trump. Same old song
Speaker 16: and dance. I thought we heard this before. I thought
Speaker 16: that was over and done with. The minute you lost
Speaker 16: the election with the popular voter in the electoral college,
Speaker 16: Volden losing.
Speaker 2: Every Swinge state, I thought we were over that.
Speaker 16: Question number one. No matter what you feel about the
Speaker 16: President of the United States.
Speaker 2: Do you think that's the time.
Speaker 16: While we're in the middle of such strife to be
Speaker 16: calling for the impeachment of the President of the United States, particular,
Speaker 16: if you're a representative of you're an elected official in
Speaker 16: the United States of America, I don't think so. It's
Speaker 16: number one.
Speaker 2: Number two.
Speaker 16: Were the Democrat saying that when Obama bamba Libya when
Speaker 16: he was in office.
Speaker 2: It's a new day, folks. I'll be playing you some
Speaker 2: crazy lefties soon, but right now we are just reveling
Speaker 2: in lefties who are finally seeing the light.
Speaker 16: This is eradicating a threat. Civilians weren't targeted, nuclear sites
Speaker 16: were targeted. You can navigate your way around the war
Speaker 16: powers act itself, and you don't have to concern yourself
Speaker 16: with receiving congressional approval.
Speaker 2: The Democrats know that because of Obama.
Speaker 16: So if you knew that because of Obama and you
Speaker 16: didn't say it when it involved him in Libya, why
Speaker 16: would you turn around and all of a sudden try
Speaker 16: to make that case against Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: Really, he's done my work for me, precisely the arguments
Speaker 2: I was going to make it. Now I have to
Speaker 2: listen to a lifelong Democrat maker, I may lose it myself.
Speaker 2: Now Trump has even got Democrat Senator John Fetterman, once
Speaker 2: a far left radical, criticizing AOC and her calls for
Speaker 2: Trump to be impeached.
Speaker 17: She knows it, I know it, We all know it.
Speaker 17: That's not going anywhere. And you know he's been impeached
Speaker 17: twice and now he's still our president as well now too,
Speaker 17: So it's not going anywhere. And I don't think that's helpful.
Speaker 17: And I think if you throw that term around, that
Speaker 17: actually diminishes what the severity of what impeachment is really
Speaker 17: reserved for.
Speaker 2: And here's more lefties getting an education. Old school lefty.
Speaker 2: Bill Myer's audience got a strong dose of logic from
Speaker 2: Republican Wesley Hunt about the importance of not tearing down
Speaker 2: Confederate statues and the importance of restoring the names of
Speaker 2: military bases. Listen to this.
Speaker 1: Trump is putting the Roberty Lee name back on buildings.
Speaker 1: I mean, are you done with that?
Speaker 11: So when I was at West Point, I actually lived
Speaker 11: in Robert E. Lee Barrett when I was there, and
Speaker 11: as I said, Berdie Lee went to it. Yes, yes,
Speaker 11: yes he did. That's why the beaks named after him,
Speaker 11: And so my brother, sister, and I are matriculated through
Speaker 11: West Point. We all graduated. And I will never forget
Speaker 11: walking under the threshold of Roberty Lee Berris to think
Speaker 11: to myself, damn, this is one hell of a country,
Speaker 11: because only in America can someone like me walk into
Speaker 11: a building named after a Confederate general and then be
Speaker 11: a successful West Point graduate. And I do not want
Speaker 11: to take down these statutes and shames, the names of
Speaker 11: these buildings. They're a reminder of what was and if
Speaker 11: we don't remember it, we are doomed to repeat it.
Speaker 18: So there's a reason for it.
Speaker 2: I said, as if it's not bad enough that I
Speaker 2: have the like sort of Charlemagne and Stephen A Smith
Speaker 2: making my arguments for me. And now is Bill Maher
Speaker 2: poking fun at the dangerously dim witted and delusional ladies
Speaker 2: of the view with.
Speaker 1: Pie Goldberg saying it's worse to be a black person
Speaker 1: in America today than a woman in Iran. You know,
Speaker 1: I say, we were talking about the transisue before in
Speaker 1: the New York Times. Really has come over on that
Speaker 1: to the sort of the sensible liberal not crazy work position.
Speaker 1: I think this is great first step to were getting
Speaker 1: the Democrats back to sanity, and a second good step
Speaker 1: would be we got to do something about the view.
Speaker 2: I really believe that.
Speaker 6: I mean.
Speaker 18: This huge and.
Speaker 2: Iranda, stay in your lane. Bill Maher, mocking lefties is
Speaker 2: my territory. You go back to, I don't know, smoking
Speaker 2: dope and poking fun at Christians. But I do want
Speaker 2: to play you. This brilliant response to Whoop is insane
Speaker 2: victim playing from Wesley Hunt. And note again the audience clapping.
Speaker 2: This is Bill Maher's audience. This wouldn't have happened a
Speaker 2: few years ago.
Speaker 11: My district and agreats out of Texas is actually a
Speaker 11: white majority district that President Trump would have won by
Speaker 11: twenty five points. As I said, I'm a direct descendant
Speaker 11: of a slave. My great great grandfather was born on
Speaker 11: a rolls down plantation. I am literally being judged not
Speaker 11: by the color of my skin, but by the content
Speaker 11: of my character.
Speaker 9: That's the progress because like a lot of white people
Speaker 9: had to vote for me a lot, So I don't
Speaker 9: even every want to hear Whoopy Gober's conversation about how
Speaker 9: it's worse to be black in America.
Speaker 11: Right now, that's a bit far. And my father, who's
Speaker 11: seventy five years old, he was a man that was
Speaker 11: in a French quarter that had to go get a
Speaker 11: sandwich to the back door of the building. And his
Speaker 11: son is now a United States congressman in a white
Speaker 11: majority district in Texas as a Republican. That is America.
Speaker 2: That's America. And while we're talking about the view, let's
Speaker 2: check in on the lunacy. Here is Joy Beja.
Speaker 19: So on Thursday, the White House said that Trump was
Speaker 19: going to make a decision on Iran within the next
Speaker 19: two weeks. That's what he said. None of that, okay,
Speaker 19: he was going to give diplomatic negotiations more time to
Speaker 19: play out. And then less than forty eight hours later,
Speaker 19: this attack was underway. So what changed and what was
Speaker 19: he actually trying to accomplish here?
Speaker 20: I mean, I looked the two weeks measure was clearly
Speaker 20: a bit of a head fake.
Speaker 19: So why did he keep it a secuence just for
Speaker 19: the surprise and the surprise version.
Speaker 20: I mean absolutely the diversion. And you saw the way
Speaker 20: that the all indications were that B twos were flying
Speaker 20: towards Guam. They already thought, okay, so we're getting in
Speaker 20: position to be ready. They wanted to have some element
Speaker 20: of surprised.
Speaker 2: Did she really ask why the US didn't tell the
Speaker 2: Iranians about the surprise attack? Lost for words? Here is
Speaker 2: Sunny Houston on the view, pretending to be an international
Speaker 2: law expert, and she gets shut down quick smart.
Speaker 3: He bypassed Congress potentially violated the War Powers Resolution. I
Speaker 3: believe this is certainly a clear violation of international law.
Speaker 3: At the very least, Democratic House Leader haw King Jeffreyes
Speaker 3: accused the President of misleading the country as to his intentions.
Speaker 3: What do you think are the possible ramifications that President
Speaker 3: Trump could face for arguably overstepping his authority.
Speaker 20: Well, look, constitutional, Constitutionally, only Congress has the power to
Speaker 20: declare war. The War Powers Act would make it seem
Speaker 20: very clear you need to have Congressional approval on this.
Speaker 20: But president after president after president has launched the military
Speaker 20: action without the approval of Congress.
Speaker 2: Now Here is further proof that blue cities are mad
Speaker 2: and willing to elect ever more radical miscerients. New York's
Speaker 2: mayoral race is underway and Zoran Mamdani, a socialist. The
Speaker 2: New York Post reports, has Billy ever held a job
Speaker 2: and admits to being a Nepo baby. Well, he could
Speaker 2: be the next man. He could be the man to
Speaker 2: lead a city of eight point eight million people. This guy, you.
Speaker 19: Go ahead and United Class in Iraq.
Speaker 12: Give adept.
Speaker 2: Attracting world and more recently, it has been involved in
Speaker 2: violent protests against Tom Homan and the Trump administration's deportation program.
Speaker 2: Joining me now is comedian and host of Prime Time
Speaker 2: with Alex Stein on Blaze TV. Alex, what is going
Speaker 2: on in New York? Will we have this thirty three
Speaker 2: year old become mayor?
Speaker 18: You know, I hate to say it, Rita, but I
Speaker 18: think he is, you know, possibly going to win. And
Speaker 18: I think New York kind of you know, they get
Speaker 18: what they deserve. And if they want to try radical socialism,
Speaker 18: and I'll go ahead and find out. I know, California
Speaker 18: had some terrible fires because they didn't have, you know,
Speaker 18: water to put out these fires. Lord have mercy if
Speaker 18: there's a terrible fire in New York City and they
Speaker 18: don't have water to put it out. So if they
Speaker 18: want to go this direction, that's why we live in
Speaker 18: a democracy. And if these people want to choose to
Speaker 18: go that route, you know, Buyer beware, is all I
Speaker 18: can say. When it comes to the citizens of New
Speaker 18: York City.
Speaker 2: Well, I think we're going to see a new influx
Speaker 2: of New Yorkers moving to your state, Texas or Florida
Speaker 2: and Tennessee. We have seen that internally in the US
Speaker 2: for some time now, Californians and New Yorkers fleeing these
Speaker 2: blue states going to red states like Texas and Florida.
Speaker 2: But sometimes they keep voting the same way, so it
Speaker 2: can be a bit of a danger. And now Joe
Speaker 2: Biden or whoever was pulling his strings, put this woman?
Speaker 2: Can Tanjie Brown Jackson on the Supreme Court? Remember this?
Speaker 2: Can you provide a definition for the word woman? Can
Speaker 2: I provide a definition?
Speaker 11: Now?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't, not okay this context. I'm not in biology. Yes,
Speaker 2: on the Supreme Court, but I can't tell you what
Speaker 2: a woman is. But since becoming Scots, we've seen that
Speaker 2: justice wowing us with theatrics literally like I.
Speaker 3: Hate it, which makes you think it must be brilliant.
Speaker 2: And ABC News reports that Justice Brown Jackson has unloaded
Speaker 2: on her Supreme Court colleagues in a series of sharp
Speaker 2: des sense, castigating them for what she called a pure
Speaker 2: textualism approach to interpreting the law. Yes, we can't really
Speaker 2: rely on the text, Alex. We've got to just go
Speaker 2: with the feelings and vibes. I guess.
Speaker 18: You know, she is the dei vibe Supreme Court justice.
Speaker 18: So I'm surprised that she doesn't want to have to
Speaker 18: look at and go buy, you know, the laws written
Speaker 18: in a book. So I'm honestly not surprised because you
Speaker 18: can't define a simple question like what is a woman?
Speaker 18: She can't say that there's many biological differences when it
Speaker 18: comes to chromosomes or body parts. I mean, there's just
Speaker 18: so many differences between the man and a woman, and
Speaker 18: she wants to try to play kid as if they're
Speaker 18: the same. So this is who's in power, and there's
Speaker 18: always going to be one of these dei people that
Speaker 18: are there. And I think it's almost good in a way,
Speaker 18: so we can kind of weed out who is making
Speaker 18: the wrong decision in the Supreme Court. Sadly, I think
Speaker 18: they're going to have a job for life. Supreme Court
Speaker 18: justices don't go anywhere, so it stinks that she's got
Speaker 18: a job forever. But at least we know that she's
Speaker 18: kind of you know, the dumb one. So whatever however
Speaker 18: she votes, we know the opposite of it is probably
Speaker 18: the way that we should be voting.
Speaker 2: I would argue there's another one on that in that
Speaker 2: court that's even dumber, but we'll argue about that another day.
Speaker 2: But yeah, she's got some competition there. I can tell
Speaker 2: you Sean did he Combs? Music mogul Shawn did he Combs?
Speaker 2: He's not going to testify at his trial. The New
Speaker 2: York Post is reporting not only is did He not testifying,
Speaker 2: but his legal team isn't planning on calling a single
Speaker 2: witness in his defense. Alex, I'm not a lawyer, but
Speaker 2: this seems rather a risky approach.
Speaker 12: Well, you know, I'm.
Speaker 18: Not an attorney either, but I do think that they
Speaker 18: say that if you are, you know, a criminal, it's
Speaker 18: better to not go on the stand so that you
Speaker 18: don't perjure yourself or I guess that he doesn't, you know,
Speaker 18: get caught up in some sort of web of lies
Speaker 18: by the prosecution. So maybe it is smart for a
Speaker 18: to not go on the stand. But let's be real,
Speaker 18: and I know this is an unpopular position to take
Speaker 18: when it comes to this case and everything that I've
Speaker 18: heard so far. Pope Daddy might be the most repugnant
Speaker 18: human being in the world, but according to this case,
Speaker 18: everything seems to have been consensual. It seems like there's
Speaker 18: a lot of money in baby oil and disgusting actions.
Speaker 18: But I think some people in this case need to
Speaker 18: take some sort of self responsibility. So if Puff Dady
Speaker 18: gets off from this core case, it's going to be
Speaker 18: like the og Simpson trail. I mean, he's going to
Speaker 18: be a hero reader for all the wrong reasons. So
Speaker 18: I kind of hope that that doesn't happen. But I
Speaker 18: also hope that, you know, justice is served and that
Speaker 18: he doesn't go to jail unnecessarily if he didn't really
Speaker 18: commit the crime that they're accusing him.
Speaker 2: One, well, we don't know what the jurors think of
Speaker 2: some of the footage they've seen, because no one else
Speaker 2: has seen A Federal prosecutors on Monday show the jurors
Speaker 2: around twenty minutes of footage from these so called freak offs,
Speaker 2: and the videos were only viewed by the jury due
Speaker 2: to the very graphic nature. Side don't I mean again,
Speaker 2: just because it's repugnant doesn't mean it's illegal, So yeah,
Speaker 2: it will be fascinating to see the outcome of this case.
Speaker 2: Before you go, Alex, I know you're very sad because
Speaker 2: Pride Month is almost over. You've been very active throughout June.
Speaker 2: How close have you come to being arrested or perhaps
Speaker 2: being assaulted with some of your antics?
Speaker 18: You know, Rita, June is a good month when it
Speaker 18: comes to clicks, but in reality, I'm ready for it
Speaker 18: to be over because listen, I love my gay brothers
Speaker 18: and sisters, but do we need a whole month to
Speaker 18: just celebrate somebody's sexuality. I mean, come on, a week
Speaker 18: is long enough, So I'll be happy when this holiday
Speaker 18: is over. And unfortunately, I will say this, you know,
Speaker 18: getting all these cliques and confronting drag queen story times. Sadly,
Speaker 18: this stuff goes on even when it's not June. So
Speaker 18: just because June's ending doesn't mean that all this weird
Speaker 18: indoctrination is going to stop.
Speaker 2: Alex Stein, thank you so much for your time.
Speaker 18: Thank you, Rita.
Speaker 2: Still to come. New research shows the dangers of medicalized
Speaker 2: transgender treatments. Rachel Wong joins me with the latest Welcome
Speaker 2: Back Now. Josh True Decide, a landmark case which gave
Speaker 2: Australian parents the authority to approve the prescription of puberty
Speaker 2: blockers for their children is now expressing doubts about that verdict.
Speaker 2: Former family called Judge Steve Strickland has said the outcome
Speaker 2: might have been different if today's medical evidence had been
Speaker 2: available with revelations about the risks posed by puberty blockers.
Speaker 2: Johnny wan Now is CEO Women's Forum Australia. Rachel Wong Rachel,
Speaker 2: I would have thought these risks were evident for some time,
Speaker 2: even though some in the medical fraternity are reluctant to
Speaker 2: stand against the transactivists who willed so much influence. That's right, rata.
Speaker 8: These risks have been evident for quite some time. But
Speaker 8: having someone like just Strickland come out and actually reiterate
Speaker 8: them yet again, I think is very powerful and another
Speaker 8: nail in the coffin of so called gender firm in care,
Speaker 8: because what he's basically saying is that the current structures
Speaker 8: in place that allowed children to rescis puity blockers may
Speaker 8: no longer be viable given the new evidence that has
Speaker 8: come to light over the last few years about the
Speaker 8: harms and the reversibility of such treatments.
Speaker 2: And That's why we need a review, isn't it. We
Speaker 2: really need to have a nationwide review that is transparent,
Speaker 2: that is not full of activist research, where we just
Speaker 2: look at the cold, hard facts, what the impacts of
Speaker 2: these drugs are these treatments and look at the hard
Speaker 2: data without all the ideology.
Speaker 8: One hundred percent. And honestly, I'm not quite sure what
Speaker 8: it's going to take for our leaders to hold this
Speaker 8: review because there has been so many developments in relation
Speaker 8: to youth gender medicine, both in Australia and overseas just
Speaker 8: this year, and the mainstream media continues to ignore it.
Speaker 8: Politicians continue to provide protection rackets for those reforming these treatments,
Speaker 8: and the GENA clinics themselves try to continue as of
Speaker 8: its business as usual. So I'm not sure what it's
Speaker 8: going to take for our politicians to actually recognize the
Speaker 8: harms that have been done to children, young people and
Speaker 8: to actually act.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 2: This research just lends further weight to that. A new
Speaker 2: study has revealed the risks to men of taking estrogen
Speaker 2: men who identify as women. In this study, the use
Speaker 2: of estrogen estrogen was linked to higher risks of cardiovascular disease.
Speaker 2: And significantly higher risks of testicular and breast cancer Rachel.
Speaker 2: If these findings are accurate, this is really frightening data.
Speaker 2: How many who went down this medicalized pass would have
Speaker 2: made different decisions if they knew the full risks.
Speaker 8: One hundred percent, and we know that there are similarly
Speaker 8: devastating risks for women who are identifying as men and
Speaker 8: who have been pumped full of testosterone. And I think,
Speaker 8: quite frankly, what has been done to an incredibly vulnerable
Speaker 8: population in terms of what has effectively been a medical
Speaker 8: experiment over many years, is is criminal. And the fact
Speaker 8: that they are doing it to children and young people
Speaker 8: I think is unforgivable.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. I think we're going to see a lot of lawsuits,
Speaker 2: and maybe it will take the lawsuits to see some
Speaker 2: real meaningful change in this country. We're trailing the UK, Scandinavia,
Speaker 2: much of the US now to a different story. Obstetrician
Speaker 2: has told a parliamentary inquiry that hundreds of migrant women
Speaker 2: are seeking abortions every year to avoid breaching their visa conditions.
Speaker 2: Obstetricians said they're providing services to five to six hundred
Speaker 2: pregnant women per year. Rachel More can you tell me
Speaker 2: about this? Why are they doing this if they don't
Speaker 2: want to have an abortion.
Speaker 8: Well, it seems from the evidence that's been given to
Speaker 8: the Slavery Inquiry, so that these women have job visas
Speaker 8: and there are certain restrictions around those I imagine around sort
Speaker 8: of getting pregnant or maybe a pregnance they will interfere,
Speaker 8: they feel with their job, and so they're fit feeling
Speaker 8: forced to undertake abortions as opposed to continuing with their pregnancies.
Speaker 8: And the doctor that gave the evidence of the inquiry,
Speaker 8: she is someone who's performed abortions, and she likened this
Speaker 8: to a form of modern slavery, and I think she's
Speaker 8: absolutely right. And I'm actually quite surprised that the ABC
Speaker 8: even reported on this and that this doctor even came forward,
Speaker 8: because what we tend to see around the issue of
Speaker 8: abortion is that there is a lot of reluctance to
Speaker 8: talk about the negative consequences and the negative things that
Speaker 8: are going on, because there's a reluctance to I guess
Speaker 8: impact on what some see as an unfettered right and
Speaker 8: what some see is healthcare. And so it's good to see.
Speaker 2: This coming out, but.
Speaker 8: It is very tragic to hear that there are hundreds
Speaker 8: of women just in this one place alone who have
Speaker 8: felt they have been forced undergo abortions. And we know
Speaker 8: that abortion coersion is something that is prominent throughout Australia,
Speaker 8: not just in this place, whether it be in relation
Speaker 8: to more explicit firms of quersion like domestic violence, or
Speaker 8: more subtle forms of coersion like feeling unsupported or feeling like,
Speaker 8: you know, you have to have a termination to be
Speaker 8: able to keep your job. And I think that what
Speaker 8: we're seeing, unfortunately at the political level, is MPs who
Speaker 8: are obsessed with expanding access to abortion at any stage
Speaker 8: for any reason, Whereas imagine if these politicives put as
Speaker 8: much effort into actually addressing the underlying stitle issues and
Speaker 8: inequalities that these.
Speaker 2: Kinds of women are facing. Yeah, well said, it seems
Speaker 2: if you talk about abortion in anything other than a
Speaker 2: positive light, there are some who just get very upset
Speaker 2: are reluctant to even report on it. So yeah, good
Speaker 2: on the ABC for covering that story. Now, yesterday we
Speaker 2: showed you BBC presenter Martine Croxwell who corrected the auto
Speaker 2: Q from saying pregnant people to pregnant women.
Speaker 21: Nearly six hundred heat related deaths are expected in the UK.
Speaker 21: Malcolm Mystery, who was involved in the research, says that
Speaker 21: the aged, pregnant people, women and those with pre existing
Speaker 21: health conditions need to take precautions.
Speaker 5: Ah.
Speaker 2: She has received so much praise online Rachel, including from JK. Rowling,
Speaker 2: which is great to see. But I've got to say
Speaker 2: the bar is pretty low when someone says something as
Speaker 2: obvious as that and everyone's standing around applauding like it's
Speaker 2: some profound moment.
Speaker 8: I know absolutely. I mean, look, we have to take
Speaker 8: these wins where we get them bo and that byrol
Speaker 8: corection absolutely flawless and I think pretty much communicates what
Speaker 8: a lot of us are feeling in relation to women
Speaker 8: being raised and humanized with terms like pregnant people and
Speaker 8: uterus owners and bleeders and so on. And I know
Speaker 8: that even in the latest issues paper by the.
Speaker 2: Australian Law Reform Commission about.
Speaker 8: The review of surrogacy laws, the word woman is only
Speaker 8: mentioned once and it prefers to use terms like pregnant
Speaker 8: people pregnant person as well. And so you know we're
Speaker 8: still fighting this here, but great to see this kind
Speaker 8: of thing from the BBC. Imagine if someone at the
Speaker 8: ABC did this.
Speaker 2: I can't believe that. I can't believe we're still using
Speaker 2: in official documents pregnant people. I mean, have they learned
Speaker 2: nothing in the last three to four years where there's
Speaker 2: really been a reckoning in this space. Rachel Wong, thank
Speaker 2: you so much for your time tonight, and that's it
Speaker 2: from me. I'll see you tomorrow night at eleven up.
Speaker 2: Next it's Newsnight.
