Speaker 1: Lots outside. Good morning and welcome to Outsiders. The show
Speaker 1: that is to woke identity politics and climbate hysteria on steroids.
Speaker 1: What fronting up to the press is to poor old
Speaker 1: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer take some questions from the media.
Speaker 1: I've got a lister Harry from the PBC.
Speaker 2: First, please thank you, Prime Minister, Thank you, Prime Minister.
Speaker 2: Harry Farley from BBC News. The speed of the decline
Speaker 2: in your popularity is historically unprecedented. Isn't this speech today
Speaker 2: an admission that you have failed and Najer Farage understands
Speaker 2: voters better than you.
Speaker 3: Yes, it doesn't hear that poor Kir Starmer can't turn
Speaker 3: a trick these days.
Speaker 4: I've got Peter from the Guardian.
Speaker 2: On the wider issue of the opposition when I'm facing
Speaker 2: do you think one of the problems is that Nigel
Speaker 2: Farage can approximate talking like a human being, where you
Speaker 2: just resort to talking points and touching questions.
Speaker 5: Wow're so faurther than that.
Speaker 6: Meanwhile, the problem facing the Liberal Party in Australia can
Speaker 6: be summed up in just one short little interview on
Speaker 6: where else but the ABC.
Speaker 7: Most of dragons believe climate change is real, and we
Speaker 7: have to deliver energy policies that ensure that we reach
Speaker 7: zero targets and that we deliver stable power and power
Speaker 7: that is as cheap as possible.
Speaker 1: Oh dear Yes. And while we all wait for the
Speaker 1: Liberal Party to decide whether it is a far left
Speaker 1: socialist loving party of renewables grifters or the party of
Speaker 1: Sir Robert Menzis, who not only loathed socialism but refuse
Speaker 1: to sign Australia up to any globalist treaties. Let's grab
Speaker 1: the latest outside as News, Richard James. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: a few lefty lovies, ladies of the left. We have
Speaker 1: Grace Tame, an Australian of the Year who is also
Speaker 1: apparently reter a Nike ambassador. She seems to have some
Speaker 1: strong political views she's been reiterating on social media.
Speaker 3: Yes, she's become one of Nike's brand ambassadors. So it
Speaker 3: would be a fairly lucrative arrangement. I would think Nike, well,
Speaker 3: one of the biggest sportswear brands in the world. And
Speaker 3: not only is she posting some very strange things online,
Speaker 3: the usual anti Israel stuff about apartheid and the like,
Speaker 3: but as the Australian reports much worse the former Australia
Speaker 3: of the Year's endorsement of a Palestinian writer, Mohammed l
Speaker 3: Kurd and a message he published last week that appears
Speaker 3: to condone the murder of two Israeli embassy officials in Washington.
Speaker 3: I'm going to read directly from this message. The media
Speaker 3: class scrambling to reframe the shooting the targeted to Israeli
Speaker 3: state officials as a random anti Semitic attack. Tame reposted
Speaker 3: to her two hundred and sixty thousand followers, even though
Speaker 3: it was undeniably and by the alleged shooter's own admission,
Speaker 3: a response to the ongoing Israeli assault on Gaza, which
Speaker 3: killed one hundred and seven Palestinians in the last twenty.
Speaker 8: Four hours alone.
Speaker 3: I mean, it is just an astonishing thing to be
Speaker 3: reposting seeming to condone minimize this horrendous murder of two
Speaker 3: innocent young people, and using the shooter's own words as
Speaker 3: some sort of a explanation or beyond.
Speaker 6: To me, it's actually worse than that, because if you
Speaker 6: go further into the report about what came retreated by
Speaker 6: this el Kurd person. El Kurd Also, this amazing here
Speaker 6: said about journalists is what the Australian reported reporting on
Speaker 6: the incident, that those who called the murders anti Semitic
Speaker 6: Hello were in Kourgsword complicit in this genocide and should be.
Speaker 5: Held to account.
Speaker 6: That is an absolutely chilling thing for somebody to say.
Speaker 6: And I would love to know what Nike is thinking about.
Speaker 1: Well, I think that's the key thing. I mean, I
Speaker 1: would say to all outsiders viewers, you know what to
Speaker 1: do because you know we've done it before. And you
Speaker 1: show brands like Nike what you think of them if
Speaker 1: they're going to support people like Grace Tame and have
Speaker 1: her as an ambassador. Another repost of tweets reposted by
Speaker 1: Grace Tame basically, we're about the lead legitimization of Jewish
Speaker 1: supremacist ethno nationalism. So some wacky ranting, some character ranting
Speaker 1: about whatever it is, Jewish supremacist whatever, Nike, this is
Speaker 1: your ambassador people of Australia. Stop buying Nike. It's really
Speaker 1: really simple. There is a direct equivalence. And if Nike
Speaker 1: see their sales go down, they will be punting Grace
Speaker 1: Tame faster than you can say, put your running shoes on,
Speaker 1: So Australia do it. Don't allow this sort of rubbish
Speaker 1: Stapen Nike, rack off, go away, we don't want you
Speaker 1: while she is your ambassador. Go away, run your shoes
Speaker 1: somewhere else. We'll buy another brand. There's plenty of other
Speaker 1: ones out there. Add Heed asks, I can name them
Speaker 1: all New New England, whatever they're called. Go buy them instead.
Speaker 6: Can I just make also the point here that this
Speaker 6: whole murder, this horrific murder that occurred a couple of
Speaker 6: weeks ago in Washington, people aren't talking about this anywhere
Speaker 6: near enough. This was what appears to be target assassination
Speaker 6: of two Israeli embassy workers on the base of the
Speaker 6: fact that they worked for the Israeli empty This was
Speaker 6: it seems to be by all accounts, a political assassination.
Speaker 6: And you have an activist class it seems to be
Speaker 6: cheering it on, and it seems to be. You know,
Speaker 6: we saw the killing of the healthcare CEO last year
Speaker 6: in the US. His alleged killer, Luigi Manjoni, was turned
Speaker 6: into a sex sibyl. And then this again we see
Speaker 6: these sorts of target assassinations and say people on the left,
Speaker 6: Nazi Grace tape. But other people on the left say,
Speaker 6: you know, oh, well it's okay because this person was
Speaker 6: the CEO, this Persson work for the Israelly EMC. This
Speaker 6: is a road towards a very dark place that the
Speaker 6: left is taking us.
Speaker 1: They have already been down that dark place the left. Yes,
Speaker 1: national socialism, the Nazi movement grew out of the left.
Speaker 1: Communism is just extreme leftism. Socialism, all these totalitarian authoritarian
Speaker 1: regimes rita that are quite happy to espouse killing people
Speaker 1: as if they don't adhere to the ideology have grown
Speaker 1: out of left wing movements in the past. That's a
Speaker 1: simple fact.
Speaker 3: Well, when you don't respect a freedom of choice and
Speaker 3: individual liberty and you have to force people to abide
Speaker 3: by whatever norms socialism or commune is enforcing, well you
Speaker 3: need to use force. How also are you going to
Speaker 3: have people abide and submit to that ideology? So it
Speaker 3: can only be achieved through force. And the left relationship
Speaker 3: with violence has become far too comfortable, and it's mainly
Speaker 3: because they.
Speaker 8: Get away with it.
Speaker 3: There was one riot from the right and they talked
Speaker 3: about it for five years. The January Sea we never
Speaker 3: talked about it, but the BLM rights throughout America caused
Speaker 3: around two billion dollars worth of damage around more than
Speaker 3: just more than two dozen people killed, hundreds more bashed,
Speaker 3: really city blocks burnt down, looting, just mass violence and
Speaker 3: very little reckoning for any of that corporate company lining
Speaker 3: up to donate money to be Every.
Speaker 1: Week on social media you will see some lunatic calling
Speaker 1: for the assassination of Donald Trump. They made two attempts,
Speaker 1: and they're still going on and on about the you know,
Speaker 1: the left of them as violently extreme left. Obviously not
Speaker 1: everybody of the left, but there is a nasty, sinister
Speaker 1: thread of hatred that runs through the left, and it
Speaker 1: leads to this sort of express well, I mean.
Speaker 6: Back though further though, Rowan, you know, and you're right
Speaker 6: to mention the Nazis' right to mention the communists. This
Speaker 6: is a thread in Western civilization, comes out of the Enlightenment,
Speaker 6: that goes all the way back to the French Revolution.
Speaker 6: The French Revolution was the first legitimization of violence against
Speaker 6: whole classes of people because they stood in the way
Speaker 6: of the revolution that would take people to utopia. Ever
Speaker 6: since then, whether it was the communist utopia or the
Speaker 6: Nazi utopia, any of these utopias that the left tries
Speaker 6: to get to by exterminating anybody who gets to the way,
Speaker 6: Whole classes of people. You know, you see this tragedy
Speaker 6: repeated again and again, the sort of thinking that glamorized
Speaker 6: as the killers of a healthcare ceo or to Israeli
Speaker 6: embassy workers because they are part of the you know,
Speaker 6: a speed the way to utopia. This needs to be
Speaker 6: called out and it needs to be resisted.
Speaker 1: To use a word on the left, but let me
Speaker 1: just say, it's only on outsiders that you will get
Speaker 1: from gracetand to.
Speaker 5: The French Revolution.
Speaker 1: But that's why, heck, we love it.
Speaker 3: There has been some fairly worrying polling recently in the States,
Speaker 3: and it shows that there is a sizeable portion of
Speaker 3: those who consider themselves liberal as they call it, they're
Speaker 3: left leaning, who are comfortable with acts of violence against
Speaker 3: their ideological opponents, who think the means justify the ends.
Speaker 8: And that is that is.
Speaker 3: A worry because, like you said, we've already had two
Speaker 3: assassination attempts against the president when he was running to
Speaker 3: be president, and even then so many were openly saying,
Speaker 3: if only you.
Speaker 8: Know the shooter was more accurate or.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we have that eighty six forty seven nonsense
Speaker 1: last week. But I want to move on, but let
Speaker 1: me just reiterate, because it's really really simple. If Grace
Speaker 1: tames retweeting of these comments sickens you as it does me,
Speaker 1: you have to make it very clear to Nike by
Speaker 1: either canceling your order with them if you happen to
Speaker 1: be in the position to do so, or not buying
Speaker 1: them and choosing their competitors. People these marketers look very
Speaker 1: closely at sales. They will link any downturn in sales
Speaker 1: to what Grace Tame has posted on social media. So
Speaker 1: until they fire her, sorry, Nike, you won't be seeing
Speaker 1: a penny from any outsiders. I can promise you that. Now,
Speaker 1: moving on to another woman of the left, Laura Tingle,
Speaker 1: and I always confuse Laura Tingle and Lara Bingle, but
Speaker 1: that's just me. One of them was in Scott Morrison's
Speaker 1: Tourism ad and the other I wrote the Australian Financial Review.
Speaker 1: I can't remember many great stories, great news stories that
Speaker 1: were broken by her, but anyway, maybe there was that.
Speaker 5: I do remember.
Speaker 1: She seemed to think there was a racism that Peter
Speaker 1: Dutton was racist. There was a little bit of that.
Speaker 1: There was one comment, she's now decided that the Coalition
Speaker 1: of clown show. She's stolen my line, she's stolen my
Speaker 1: segment on clown show. She's now calling the Coalition a
Speaker 1: clown show. Obviously Laura is a fan of this show.
Speaker 5: Likely you know, their imitation is a serious for a flatter.
Speaker 6: I mean, there is one sort of you know, where
Speaker 6: you could hold up the current situation of the Coalition
Speaker 6: and say that Laura Tigle has actually gotten it right
Speaker 6: about this particular instance of the last you know, two
Speaker 6: weeks or so.
Speaker 1: So she's left, so she's now going to be the
Speaker 1: global correspondent or something or other for let's have a
Speaker 1: lesson to Laura Bingle.
Speaker 9: Sorry Tingle, seriously, I mean, these people are irrelevant for
Speaker 9: the next little while. You know, they you know that
Speaker 9: they're a side show, they're a clown show. And the
Speaker 9: fact that their personal ambitions are just so blatantly out
Speaker 9: there basically disgraceful because we as taxpayers are paying for
Speaker 9: them to be looking after the interests of their voters
Speaker 9: in their electorates and to be looking after the national good.
Speaker 1: Now outside of viewers maybe wondering who Laura Tingle is.
Speaker 1: So let's ask Laura Tingle's colleagues at the ABC, who
Speaker 1: are very impressed by her. Have a listen Sports Texas. Hello, Danna,
Speaker 1: how would you describe Laura Tingle?
Speaker 8: Smart?
Speaker 10: Tough, dedicated, hard working, relentless, won't take any crap from anybody.
Speaker 4: Laura is both wonderful and terrifying, formidable, formidable and formidable.
Speaker 1: Where do I get a Laura Tingles show? Question? What
Speaker 1: we paid for it?
Speaker 6: We're paying all a billion dollars to the ABC and
Speaker 6: every time, you know, anybody even thinks about going near there.
Speaker 6: But oh no, you're gonna like get rid of Blue
Speaker 6: and you're gonna shoot Blue. You're gonna have bluely put
Speaker 6: down or you know, you're not gonna get this. You're
Speaker 6: not gonna get regional radio or ulster stuff if they've
Speaker 6: got the money to produce crap like that, which I
Speaker 6: think also you know, gets very sales, very close to
Speaker 6: the winds for the ABC and their charter, which is about.
Speaker 5: Being unbiased and being.
Speaker 1: Daily.
Speaker 6: You know, this is a great one for whoever's left
Speaker 6: of the coalition. When the Senate finally kicks off, again
Speaker 6: at Estimus to start asking questions about who made this,
Speaker 6: how much did it cost, and what does this have
Speaker 6: to do with the ABC's charter.
Speaker 1: And what's it going to do with anything other than
Speaker 1: the fact she's moving from one job indulgent.
Speaker 5: It's unbelievably self indulgence.
Speaker 1: And I think we should do some outside as ones.
Speaker 1: I think James and I should do retapanah t shirts
Speaker 1: and do it. James, what do you think of retapana
Speaker 1: are and tougher in the business. She's the best.
Speaker 8: I think it's a fantastic idea. I want to produce.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, We'll get all the right lighting and we'll do
Speaker 1: a great job. Now let's talk about more women, conservative women.
Speaker 1: If it peaks Rita, exactly where are the conservative women.
Speaker 5: They've all been.
Speaker 1: Ditched by Susan Lee. She's gone, no, no, no, I don't
Speaker 1: want this conservative women in my shadow cabinet or clown shows.
Speaker 1: As Laura Tingle.
Speaker 3: Called it to be odd to be demoting people like
Speaker 3: just into Napa, Gimper Price or Sarah Henderson. I mean,
Speaker 3: we know with Senator Ovist, Senator Senator Price that she
Speaker 3: is amongst the most popular politicians in the country. One
Speaker 3: of the more impactful ones. So why, when you have
Speaker 3: been diminished so much in this election, would you not
Speaker 3: want to have someone like her, who's a heavy hitter,
Speaker 3: who cuts through, who speaks to people who are not
Speaker 3: obsessed with politics day in and day out, who who
Speaker 3: and that why she was so successful during the Voice campaign.
Speaker 8: To me, it seems petty.
Speaker 3: It seems to be she's being ruled by the factional forces,
Speaker 3: or she's just picking up people who she's ideologically aligned to.
Speaker 3: And we know Susan Lee is a small l liberal
Speaker 3: and I think that counts against her. But if we're
Speaker 3: going to give her a fair shot, you've got to.
Speaker 8: Call out these selections. I just think you can't.
Speaker 1: Go Senator Nambijima Price. She's a warrior, and a warrior
Speaker 1: with a scalp who actually has won a victory, a
Speaker 1: major victory, single handedly virtually with Warren Mundane won the
Speaker 1: Voice campaign. You want warriors on your side. If you're
Speaker 1: going to bring defeat the Labor government at the next election,
Speaker 1: you need your warriors.
Speaker 6: Well it's not just I mean, it's not just Senator Price,
Speaker 6: but that's you know, the number one, particularly when Sarah
Speaker 6: Henderson was in the shadow communications portfolio before she moved
Speaker 6: to education. You know, she's an x ABC herself. She
Speaker 6: knows how that joint works. She was a devastatingly effective
Speaker 6: shadow communications spokeswoman. She should be in that portfolio again.
Speaker 6: And there was a moment earlier this week when Susan
Speaker 6: Lay was announcing the whole big Cabinet on Tuesday, and
Speaker 6: you know it was supposed to be at twelve, and
Speaker 6: there was gonna be a one, and there was gonna
Speaker 6: be a two and then finally are two forty five
Speaker 6: or something. They finally, you know, got got it together
Speaker 6: to go and do it. And there was a whole
Speaker 6: awkward thing with Susan Lay and David Little Proud there,
Speaker 6: you know, in the Coalition party room at Parliament House,
Speaker 6: and somebody asked her if you know this was about
Speaker 6: squaring up and she said, oh no, no, this isn't
Speaker 6: about squaring up at all. And you could almost hear,
Speaker 6: like in a movie, a narrator saying it was a
Speaker 6: square up.
Speaker 5: This was totally a square up.
Speaker 3: Yes, Or is it the the paper pulling the strings?
Speaker 3: The usual suspects that we speak about.
Speaker 6: Off on this, Well, this isn't question one of the
Speaker 6: really interesting things. That's going to bear a lot of
Speaker 6: watching for everybody. You know, all the outsiders out there,
Speaker 6: is what do they do about net zero? Lea people
Speaker 6: who are behind the scenes who are backing the New
Speaker 6: South Wales Moderates very much want the coalition to lay
Speaker 6: down on energy policy and say, oh well look it's
Speaker 6: settle science to selling. We're going to just go with
Speaker 6: labor stuff. Because of course, you know, there's an awful
Speaker 6: lot of people in the moderate wing and in the
Speaker 6: New South Wales wing of the Moderates who don't really
Speaker 6: care about winning. They care about protecting the renewables grift
Speaker 6: from any sort of billion dollars everybody who's waiting the
Speaker 6: liberal body.
Speaker 1: As I said, net zero is socialism. It's the only
Speaker 1: way to describe it. Net zero is a collective action
Speaker 1: done to a kind of long term government plan, like
Speaker 1: a five year plan, a twenty year plan, whatever it
Speaker 1: is with targets. It is pure socialism and his ideology
Speaker 1: trump any kind of sound economics and individual suffer. The
Speaker 1: Party of Menzies. Menzies himself was against socialism, and Menzies
Speaker 1: was against signing international treaties which you are then beholden
Speaker 1: to which would have a detrimental effect on your people.
Speaker 1: Net zero is absolutely counter to mensis. It is pure
Speaker 1: socialism and any Liberal, any Coalition member who supports net
Speaker 1: zero is a socialist and does not belong in that party.
Speaker 1: Have I made myself clear?
Speaker 3: But can I say one thing about this? It's not
Speaker 3: just the Liberals the Nationals. The Nationals who should be
Speaker 3: a lot more sound ideologically and know who they are
Speaker 3: and what they stand for, they still haven't come to
Speaker 3: a decision on where that party stands on net zero.
Speaker 8: If you can't figure this out now, I don't know
Speaker 8: what we can do to help you.
Speaker 3: You belong in the lorientngles clownship grace net zero twenty
Speaker 3: twenty one and they've lost two elections in Landslide since.
Speaker 3: If you want to continue down that path, be my guest,
Speaker 3: but there won't be much of you left.
Speaker 1: And every support, every conservative, very supporter of the Coalition
Speaker 1: in Australia must recognize and must speak to their local
Speaker 1: member because the Liberal Party and to an extent the Nationals,
Speaker 1: but far less so, the Liberal Party is beholden to,
Speaker 1: as James said, renewables grifters. That's who's pulling the strings
Speaker 1: and unless the Liberal Party gets its act together and
Speaker 1: cuts those strings from those renewable grifters, they're no better
Speaker 1: than the Teals. Don't vote for them. That's all I'll say.
Speaker 6: Look, I was going to say one other thing. You know,
Speaker 6: you talk about socialism. Yeah, that's right, but I think
Speaker 6: actually it's kind of a way worse because it's actually corporatism,
Speaker 6: you know, yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 6: The integration of these sort of business interests with government interests,
Speaker 6: and of course the little guy always loses out. This
Speaker 6: is actually what got the Australian economy moving in the
Speaker 6: nineties again after the recession, was getting rid of that influence.
Speaker 6: The same thing needs to be done again. Will the
Speaker 6: Coalition have the courage to do that?
Speaker 11: I have my doubts.
Speaker 1: Well, they have to, and this is really critical. And
Speaker 1: I tell you, if Susan Lee wants to survive to
Speaker 1: the election, she has to abandon net zero. It is
Speaker 1: that simple. Because this rift is going to split the
Speaker 1: Liberal Party in two. We're ere they going to end
Speaker 1: up with a National Conservative Party which is made up
Speaker 1: of the Nationals, the best of the Liberals, the conservative
Speaker 1: side of the Liberals, one nation. We're about to speak
Speaker 1: to One Nation's News Senator in a tick you don't
Speaker 1: want to miss that and others Libertarians and so on.
Speaker 1: That is what we will have if the Liberal parties
Speaker 1: stay wedded to net zero. That is what's coming down
Speaker 1: the track. That is what the renewable drifters are going
Speaker 1: to make happen. And it'll be a great tragedy for
Speaker 1: the Liberal Party and its history. But that's what's going
Speaker 1: to happen. Net zero is going to split the party
Speaker 1: in two. It will either split the coalition into or
Speaker 1: the Liberal Party will wake up very very quickly and
Speaker 1: abandon net zero. Pretty simple, It.
Speaker 8: Is pretty simple. But I just can't see Susan Lee
Speaker 8: being the leader.
Speaker 1: And she won't last. She won't last. It's that simple.
Speaker 1: And you know we've said it here and guess what,
Speaker 1: we tend to be right more often than not. Now,
Speaker 1: I know, I predicted a Liberal landslide at the last election.
Speaker 1: That's when they were riding high in the polls and
Speaker 1: could have won had they listened to this show. Had
Speaker 1: they listened anyway, that's another story. Let's go now too,
Speaker 1: Warwick Stanley the new This is very exciting news. Okay,
Speaker 1: So Warwick, great to have you here on outsiders. You're
Speaker 1: sitting and you're sitting in an airport loumb somewhere. I
Speaker 1: don't know if anybody's told you. You are now the
Speaker 1: new South Wales one Nation senator. So congratulations, we're very
Speaker 1: we're very pleased. Now I'm going to be I just
Speaker 1: want to introduce you to the Australian public. You went
Speaker 1: to Europe at the age of twenty one. You became
Speaker 1: fluent in French before then becoming qualified as an interpreter
Speaker 1: and a translator in German. You speak Spanish, you speak
Speaker 1: Japanese and some other languages. As David Flint wrote in
Speaker 1: The Spectator Australia, you went to Sandhurst. You joined the
Speaker 1: Parachute Regiment. You served as a troop commander with the SAS.
Speaker 1: You served in Northern Ireland, Berlin, the Middle East, Central
Speaker 1: America and Asia. You later served in the Australian Army
Speaker 1: Reserve in the Commander Regiment and specialized in kidnap, extortion
Speaker 1: and insurgency skills that will come very handy in the
Speaker 1: Australian Senate. You've also worked for a number of years
Speaker 1: as a military consultant in the Middle East and on
Speaker 1: the Indian subcontinent. On top of that, Warwick, you've written
Speaker 1: for the Spectator Australia, so I mean that's obviously the
Speaker 1: high point on your resume. But now you are a
Speaker 1: one nation senator. Congratulations Warwick. How does it feel you?
Speaker 12: Thank you very much, Rowan, and thank you for that,
Speaker 12: for that introduction. It feels great. In fact, I learnt
Speaker 12: about this on Friday morning and from that time my
Speaker 12: phone went into meltdown really with people telephoning me. I
Speaker 12: was receiving text messages and emails and so on, and
Speaker 12: of course I was struggling to respond to those and
Speaker 12: to reply to every one of them. And it was,
Speaker 12: it was, it was great news. I mean I hadn't
Speaker 12: been expecting it because of the the way the election
Speaker 12: had gone on on the on the night of Saturday,
Speaker 12: the third of May, I just thought there was too
Speaker 12: much weight with the with the with the Labor Party
Speaker 12: and their preferences, and also that there wasn't there weren't
Speaker 12: enough votes for the Liberal Party and that their preferences
Speaker 12: and certainly the Conservative preferences wouldn't flow to one nation.
Speaker 12: So I was a little bit despondent, but nevertheless, at
Speaker 12: the at the party that we had that night, I
Speaker 12: and two other colleagues, Stuart Bonds who stood for Hunter
Speaker 12: and Ann and with her who stood for Patterson. We
Speaker 12: made a little speech each and we just said that
Speaker 12: we will continue to fight, and we will continue to
Speaker 12: fight for Australia and for Australians inside one Nation. And
Speaker 12: and then of course four weeks later, almost four weeks later,
Speaker 12: the results come through that we have two more senators
Speaker 12: in Western Australia. So I'm very grateful to the voters
Speaker 12: in New South Wales who put their trust in one
Speaker 12: Nation and also for those voters who preference one nation.
Speaker 12: In order to basically get one nation a senator in
Speaker 12: a senator in the Senate, we.
Speaker 3: Warrick, you're the One Nation is the most successful of
Speaker 3: the minor parties on the right, but that right flank
Speaker 3: is fractured a number of minor parties. Is there an
Speaker 3: opportunity before the next election for these parties to form
Speaker 3: a coalition and actually have a bit more impact in
Speaker 3: determining elections Because on the left there's great voter discipline,
Speaker 3: the Green preferences go to labor, whilst on the right
Speaker 3: they don't necessarily end up with a coalition, and you
Speaker 3: could argue that's a wasted vote.
Speaker 12: Look, I certainly understand that, Reta. And it was very
Speaker 12: interesting hearing what you're talking about earlier with Laura Tingle,
Speaker 12: and she was talking about personal ambitions as if that
Speaker 12: applied only to politicians, and of course I should should
Speaker 12: add that it certainly applies to her. I think in
Speaker 12: her career, every other journalist on the ABC, they have
Speaker 12: their personal ambitions and their personal agendas. With regard to
Speaker 12: the right, the Conservatives, part of the parties uniting, it
Speaker 12: was interesting that the Libertarians hooked up with People First
Speaker 12: and Heart Party, and at some of the debates that
Speaker 12: I had with Craig Kelly and Lyle Sheldon, it was
Speaker 12: suggested that we should all do the same thing. And
Speaker 12: the point that I made was that, well, I'd be
Speaker 12: very happy to do so as long as I was
Speaker 12: number one on the ticket. Rebecca Thompson, who was number
Speaker 12: two on the on the One Nation ticket, was number two,
Speaker 12: and I said after that, you can fight it out
Speaker 12: amongst yourselves, be four, five and six, and so I
Speaker 12: would suggest to those parties that as One Nation is
Speaker 12: the strongest party, and I think we are in a
Speaker 12: much strong obviously in a much strong position now and
Speaker 12: we can we can certainly push our agenda and make
Speaker 12: ourselves known better even than I mean, Pauline has done
Speaker 12: a wonderful job. She's probably the most well known woman
Speaker 12: in Australia. But we can push the agenda, let people
Speaker 12: know exactly what we stand for, that we are the
Speaker 12: true Conservative party in Australia, and we would be delighted
Speaker 12: for the supporters of the Libertarians and People First, for
Speaker 12: the Family First and Heart parties and all those minor
Speaker 12: parties to join with us and to either join with
Speaker 12: us or to get behind us and do it do
Speaker 12: it the way I said. So, whoever is the next
Speaker 12: number one Senate candidate for one nation and the number
Speaker 12: two Senate candidate, then I invite all of those the
Speaker 12: other party applicants to get behind.
Speaker 6: Us Senator or senator elect. A Road gave you a
Speaker 6: phenomenal intro here, and there's a lot of fascinating things.
Speaker 5: In your background.
Speaker 6: I don't want to have a policy, but I want
Speaker 6: to ask you more about this background that you have
Speaker 6: had in the military and dealing with insurgencies and dealing
Speaker 6: with hostage situations. So on what skills do you think
Speaker 6: that you picked up through the course of that illustrious
Speaker 6: and fascinating career that would be you could bring to
Speaker 6: bear in this very sort of contentious and complex operating
Speaker 6: environment that you're about to head into in the Senate
Speaker 6: and in Parliament House.
Speaker 12: Well, thank you.
Speaker 13: Yes, I.
Speaker 12: Have had a very unusual career, and I have to
Speaker 12: say it wasn't necessarily planned, but I always wanted that
Speaker 12: kind of life when I was young. I just couldn't
Speaker 12: articulate it and didn't really understand how it would play out.
Speaker 12: But I'm grateful for the opportunities that I've had. I
Speaker 12: think I think that to answer your question, I after
Speaker 12: a long life and a long time on the planet
Speaker 12: and also working in very specialized areas and high risk,
Speaker 12: high high high reward areas, the reward being staying alive
Speaker 12: and or getting getting hostages out, I have a healthy,
Speaker 12: very healthy skepticism, very healthy almost disrespect for experts. And
Speaker 12: I see that in our bureaucrats. I see that in
Speaker 12: our politicians, and because of circumstances, perhaps because of certain
Speaker 12: qualifications that they may have, they are elevated into positions
Speaker 12: where they could be they should be, perhaps, but I
Speaker 12: think their lack of life experience. Their lack of real
Speaker 12: experience shows. And a perfect example would be the crisis
Speaker 12: management plan, the Federal government COVID Crisis Management Plan. I've
Speaker 12: got all of a copy of that. I got ahold
Speaker 12: of a copy of the New South Wales Crisis Management Plan.
Speaker 12: I used to write crisis management plans for a living
Speaker 12: for kidnap, for ransom, for extortion, for piracy, Somali piracy,
Speaker 12: for other life threatening incidents and so on. Look, it's
Speaker 12: not rocket science, and it's actually the principles are quite
Speaker 12: simple if you learn from good people with good experience,
Speaker 12: clever people, people far cleverer than I. Put all of
Speaker 12: these principles together many years ago, and they were distilled
Speaker 12: and have come down. And I have to say that
Speaker 12: the crisis management plans that were prepared for Australia for
Speaker 12: COVID were an abominent. They were I don't know who
Speaker 12: wrote them, but whoever it was probably had a PhD
Speaker 12: in crisis management. But it never ever conducted a live
Speaker 12: crisis case and didn't understand the decision making process, didn't
Speaker 12: understand the policy process, the prostidures process, the various strategies
Speaker 12: and tactics that can be used. And although the Crisis
Speaker 12: Management Plan to a certain extent is a bible, it's
Speaker 12: a guide and guides are therefore to keep you on
Speaker 12: track if you like. But I think with experience you
Speaker 12: then know when you can step over the track when
Speaker 12: you need to do something different. But without that experience,
Speaker 12: I've seen it. I saw it in Afghanistan with the
Speaker 12: experts there who got it completely wrong and allowed themselves
Speaker 12: to be These are the Americans allowed themselves to be
Speaker 12: derailed by the Pakistani Isi. So this is during the
Speaker 12: eighties when the Mujahadeen were seeing off the Soviet army.
Speaker 12: So I have a healthy disrespect for experts, for people
Speaker 12: in positions of power who tell me this is how
Speaker 12: it is, this is how it should be, And I
Speaker 12: certainly will be quicking to those people and demanding an
Speaker 12: explanation that I understand. If I can't understand it, it's
Speaker 12: nothing to do with me and my perhaps lack of intellect.
Speaker 12: It's the way they're explaining it, or in fact, it's
Speaker 12: a lousy idea, it's a lousy principle.
Speaker 1: Well, Warwick Stacy, you're going to have all those skills
Speaker 1: tested and more in the Canberra environment, you are entering
Speaker 1: into You thought hostage negotiating was tough. Wait till you
Speaker 1: meet the Canberra bureaucrats. Great to have you on the show.
Speaker 1: Congratulations again Warwick, and have a great time there in Canberra.
Speaker 1: We'll speak to you again soon after the break. Reader's
Speaker 1: reality check. Stay here on outside, it's back in a tech.
Speaker 3: You're watching Outsiders with your host Rowan General Dean James
Speaker 3: Field Marshall Morrow and I'm readA Panney and you may
Speaker 3: know me from such programs as The Reader Panehy Show
Speaker 3: Monday to Thursdays and Lift is Losing It on Fridays.
Speaker 3: Soon we'll be looking at the world of net Zany
Speaker 3: with more renewable projects acts. But first, remember the days
Speaker 3: when the US military was deliberately weakened and demoralized, with
Speaker 3: leaders who needed preemptive pardons to escape possible prison terms
Speaker 3: for treason. The day is when the likes of this
Speaker 3: shameful character were holding positions like Chairman of the Joint
Speaker 3: Chiefs of Staff.
Speaker 14: I want to understand weight rage and I'm wait and
Speaker 14: I want to understand it. So what is it that
Speaker 14: caused thousands of people to assault this building and try
Speaker 14: to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America.
Speaker 11: What caused that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was the thoroughly discredited General Mark Millie, who
Speaker 3: saw morale plummet, recruitment numbers plummet, and let's not forget.
Speaker 3: He also claimed throughout his tenure that Joe Biden was
Speaker 3: as sharp ast attack, no cognitive decline at all.
Speaker 1: I would just.
Speaker 15: Tell you that I meet frequently with the President, and
Speaker 15: every single time I meet with them, he is just fine.
Speaker 15: I engage with him frequently and alert, sound does his homework.
Speaker 15: If the American people worried about an individual who is
Speaker 15: you know, someone who's making decisions of warren peace and
Speaker 15: has access to you know, makes the decision of nuclear
Speaker 15: weapons of that sort of thing, I think they can
Speaker 15: rest easy.
Speaker 3: Please absolute lies. That was late twenty twenty three. Yep,
Speaker 3: he was on in this willing participate in this great
Speaker 3: Biden cover up. He knew precisely what the president's state was.
Speaker 3: So with leadership like that, you're going to understand why
Speaker 3: the US Army kept falling short and dangerously short of
Speaker 3: its recruitment targets. These are the sort of ads they
Speaker 3: ran to get young Americans to risk their lives for
Speaker 3: their country.
Speaker 8: It didn't go too well.
Speaker 16: Although he had a fairly typical childhood, took ballet, played violin.
Speaker 8: I also marched for equality.
Speaker 16: I like to think I've been defending freedom from an
Speaker 16: early age. When i was six years old, one of
Speaker 16: my mom's had an accident and they left her paralyzed.
Speaker 16: Doctor said she might never walk again, but she tapped
Speaker 16: into my family's pride to get back on her feet,
Speaker 16: eventually standing at the altar to marry my other mom.
Speaker 8: Can you believe those ads didn't work? Gentlemen? Can you
Speaker 8: believe it? But those days are well and truly over.
Speaker 3: Trump's election triumph in November saw a huge surge in
Speaker 3: the number of NEWGAL recruits, and those numbers have stayed
Speaker 3: high ever since, and expect to see another sharp surge
Speaker 3: with this ad released in recent days, voiced by Secretary
Speaker 3: of Defense Pete Hegseeth and President Donald Trump.
Speaker 8: America's back.
Speaker 17: No more distractions, no more electric tanks, no more gender confusion,
Speaker 17: no more climate change worship. We are laser focused on
Speaker 17: our mission of war fighting.
Speaker 18: We will measure our success not only by the battles
Speaker 18: we win, but also by the wars we end. And
Speaker 18: perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into.
Speaker 1: It's called peace through strength.
Speaker 18: Through our power and might, we will leave the world
Speaker 18: to peace. Our friends will respect us, our enemies will
Speaker 18: fear us, and the whole world will admire the unrivaled
Speaker 18: greatness of the United States military. We will replenish the
Speaker 18: pride of our armed forces and the recruitment crisis.
Speaker 17: We don't fight because we hate what's in front of us.
Speaker 17: We fight because the bubbles find us.
Speaker 18: God bless you, God bless our enfords, you, God bless
Speaker 18: our men and women serving overseas, and God bless the
Speaker 18: United States of America.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 3: I don't know about you, gentlemen, but I think I
Speaker 3: need a cigarette after all that. That's how you restore
Speaker 3: pride in an institution, how you inspire service and sacrifice
Speaker 3: and love for your country. Peace through strength. That's the mantra.
Speaker 3: And it's entirely consistent with Donald Trump's America First strategy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, great stuff, Rita, Well, yeah, James looked like he
Speaker 1: wanted to sign up there. And then it's fantastic, What
Speaker 1: a great ad, What a difference a different president makes.
Speaker 1: Just got the news in that the governing body of
Speaker 1: the South Australian that Liberal Party has voted to get
Speaker 1: rid of net zero and more importantly, to call on
Speaker 1: the Federal Liberal Party to ditch net Zio service game on.
Speaker 1: Well done to the South Australian Libs. They've had enough
Speaker 1: of it, quite right, and this will not end until
Speaker 1: net zero has been abolished by the coalition. It's very
Speaker 1: very simple.
Speaker 6: Well, I mean good on the South Australian city here
Speaker 6: at New South Wales. I have absolutely no hope that
Speaker 6: we might see something similar out of sea.
Speaker 1: So they will keep losing. So they will keep losing.
Speaker 1: That's as simple as a and.
Speaker 8: They will keep it.
Speaker 3: Is so frustrating because South Australia in a very short
Speaker 3: period of time has shown how you can reform the
Speaker 3: Liberal Party. So the membership actually determines.
Speaker 1: Young people are coming into that young talented people are
Speaker 1: really good.
Speaker 3: They are attracting quality candidates, which is what you want.
Speaker 3: And we had the coalition reform. You know, we were
Speaker 3: told it was going to take three years. That were
Speaker 3: back together within a couple of weeks. Like some dysfunctional
Speaker 3: couple keeps, you know, breaking up and getting back together.
Speaker 3: There could be another breakup, but there was all about
Speaker 3: these four non negotiables that the Nationals wanted the Liberal
Speaker 3: Party to agree to.
Speaker 8: But really the core issue is net zero. That's what's going.
Speaker 1: To sense tectonic plates shift split the Liberal bar.
Speaker 6: The other issue there too, let's not forget, was also
Speaker 6: the Devi little proud leadership was in a hugely weakened
Speaker 6: position there. There was a challenge against it. It didn't
Speaker 6: work out, you know, and so he had to basically
Speaker 6: crash the whole party to reset his own leadership. It
Speaker 6: was an unbelievably irresponsible thing that he did, because he's
Speaker 6: chatted the coalition over this and then put it back together.
Speaker 6: Made them all look like a bunch of clowns, and
Speaker 6: you know, gave Laura Tinkle the great opening that we
Speaker 6: just spoke about before. But Rita, I wanted to talk
Speaker 6: though about your editorialm because it's really really important what
Speaker 6: you're talking about here.
Speaker 5: The the you know, need for the.
Speaker 6: United States and all of her allies to have really
Speaker 6: strong defense. You know, we saw defense was again squibbed
Speaker 6: by the coalition. They didn't announce their policy until the
Speaker 6: very end. But Labor's budget, you know, only brought forward
Speaker 6: a bit of spending. Now there was an remarkable story
Speaker 6: here where the Australian strategic policy is to This is
Speaker 6: the foremost defense think tank we have in this country
Speaker 6: said hey, you know, Labor, we're not doing enough. We
Speaker 6: radically need to increase our defense spending. The world's a
Speaker 6: very dangerous place right now.
Speaker 5: The Pacific is going to.
Speaker 6: Be the flash point for that danger. And what is
Speaker 6: Anthony Alban easy Well, instead of saying, you know, we
Speaker 6: respect that advice and look, we're gonna do everything we
Speaker 6: can to keep Australian safe, he says, oh, well, have
Speaker 6: a look what he had to say here.
Speaker 19: Well, that's what they do, isn't it has to be.
Speaker 19: I mean, seriously, they need to I think have a
Speaker 19: look at themselves as well and the way that they
Speaker 19: conduct themselves and debates. We've had a defense strategic review,
Speaker 19: We've got considerable additional investment going into defense.
Speaker 6: This is the classic Anthony Alban easy line. Oh well,
Speaker 6: my opponisation, take a look at their conduct here, their
Speaker 6: conduct for doing what Prime Minister looking at Australia's defense
Speaker 6: spending finding that is willfully short. And I would note
Speaker 6: that just the last twenty four hours our own Defense Minister,
Speaker 6: Richard Morris met with Pete Headkseth the US defense sector
Speaker 6: he's counterpart of the US and has come back said, yeah, look,
Speaker 6: we may actually have to up our defense spending. The
Speaker 6: Trump administration wants everybody spending three percent and GDP. I
Speaker 6: think that's perfectly reasonable, you know, because we cannot be freeloaders,
Speaker 6: free riders and hope that the US comes to our defense.
Speaker 8: Those days are over.
Speaker 3: Donald Trump's not kidding around with his America First strategy.
Speaker 3: He does not want to be financing the defense of
Speaker 3: the entire globe and held and should he And that's
Speaker 3: what he was voted, that was the platform he campaigned on.
Speaker 8: That's the mandate he has. And the American taxpayer, why
Speaker 8: would you want to?
Speaker 3: And every bit of coverage we see, whether it's about
Speaker 3: the tariffs, whether it's about defense spending.
Speaker 8: It's as if Donald Trump is our leader. No, he's
Speaker 8: leading for his people, and he's picking policies that prioritize
Speaker 8: their interests.
Speaker 3: Hopefully our politicians will eventually do the same thing, but
Speaker 3: we've got to have some level of reality those days.
Speaker 1: That reality has come. According to Pete Haigseth, who was
Speaker 1: speaking at Singapore, which is where he met up with
Speaker 1: Miles and speaking of misterial, he's warning that you know,
Speaker 1: China has its eye on Taiwan and the Americans are
Speaker 1: sitting there, that this will develop very very quickly. I
Speaker 1: don't want to be a fearmonger, but it's not looking great.
Speaker 6: Can I just say one more thing here too, because
Speaker 6: the way that Ethne Albdi is he carried on about
Speaker 6: these experts who are on our side. There are people
Speaker 6: there are Australians, you know, saying oh, they need to
Speaker 6: look at themselves. Did you hear any such tough talk
Speaker 6: from Albis saying, well, you know the Chinese, the trench
Speaker 6: comments party Jijien Ping needs to take a look at
Speaker 6: how they conduct themselves where they were circumowd.
Speaker 1: When they were circling around the country missiles that you
Speaker 1: don't hear any of that way.
Speaker 3: As passenger jets had to be redirected because they were
Speaker 3: coming down here aggressively without telling us that we're here.
Speaker 8: I mean that whole episode.
Speaker 1: We had to rely on Virgin Airlines to tell us
Speaker 1: what was going on militarily around us. And for years
Speaker 1: Australian defense has been pretty pathetic and the money has
Speaker 1: not been there and it needs to be there. You're
Speaker 1: absolutely right.
Speaker 8: It was a virgin pilot.
Speaker 5: What's going on?
Speaker 1: They're making a movie now. Something else that was interesting
Speaker 1: to see was it Welcome to Country. A Flinders Island
Speaker 1: Council had tried to sort of ease back on the
Speaker 1: Welcome to countries, but no, they've gone ahead. They're going
Speaker 1: to keep on doing this. This is another issue where
Speaker 1: the Coalition were woefully pathetic during the election. They should
Speaker 1: have been fighting very very strongly on this whole issue.
Speaker 1: Penny Wong spilt the beans. We're going to have truth
Speaker 1: and treaty telling on the way. We had no old
Speaker 1: Pearson telling us that this week, Oh yeah, it's all
Speaker 1: back on. The Coalition were utterly pathetic during the election
Speaker 1: campaign on this issue. Some councilors put forward a motion
Speaker 1: at the Tasmanian Council's meeting on Wednesday, but failed, So
Speaker 1: there you go, Welcome the Country. Still sticking around with
Speaker 1: that particular council. Let's also talk about the Melbourne Comedy Festival.
Speaker 1: Males car Bar Freeze set this up back in nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty seven with Steve Weisart and Peter Cook came out
Speaker 1: from England. They set up the Melbourne Comedy Festival. It's
Speaker 1: now one of the great comedy festivals, or certainly by
Speaker 1: scale and by size, but I don't think by laughs.
Speaker 1: And the problem is that they started canceling people like
Speaker 1: Barry Humphreys for his views on transgenderism, for a couple
Speaker 1: of comments he made.
Speaker 8: They've got the Barry.
Speaker 3: The award was called the Barry and they got rid
Speaker 3: of an absolute disgusting cowardice. And you know what, the
Speaker 3: laughs aren't there like they used to be.
Speaker 8: The money isn't there.
Speaker 3: They're getting quite a big hand out from the state
Speaker 3: government and yet they're still recording losses. So there's a
Speaker 3: question mark about you know, well, the Comedy Festival have
Speaker 3: to be scaled back. And the director there is talking about,
Speaker 3: oh no, we're not all left wing, but we just
Speaker 3: don't like to punch down. It's all about not punching down.
Speaker 3: You know what comedy should be one about being funny.
Speaker 3: I don't care if you're punching down up sideways, as
Speaker 3: long as you're bringing the laughs, I'm okay.
Speaker 1: The moment the director of the festival is telling you
Speaker 1: what you should or shouldn't be doing in comedy, it's
Speaker 1: all over, it's finished.
Speaker 5: This was the other bit of struct the moment.
Speaker 6: International Festival is fishing blah blah, As the flagship events
Speaker 6: director says, participating comedians are expected to be respectful and
Speaker 6: cards respectful.
Speaker 1: And god sorry, this is uh.
Speaker 5: You know this is going to be the Soviet Festival.
Speaker 6: It's like, well, here's your approved list of things you
Speaker 6: could make fun of, but you.
Speaker 3: Don't have respectful and kind to say Christian or.
Speaker 1: Or just tow the party line.
Speaker 8: Really yeah, very very slow select respect.
Speaker 1: We're going to go to a show break. We'll talk
Speaker 1: more about this later on and after the break. Net Zany,
Speaker 1: lefty lunacy, whackademia, so much more here on Outsiders Innity, Yes,
Speaker 1: net Zany, The insane world of net zero. The South
Speaker 1: Australian Libs have now said yep, let's let's get rid
Speaker 1: of net zero. So has Nigel Farrage over in Britain,
Speaker 1: next Prime Minister of Britain, next document and Number ten
Speaker 1: Downing Street. Have a listen to what he has to say.
Speaker 20: If we win the next election, we will scrap net zero,
Speaker 20: something that is costing the exchequer an extraordinary forty billion
Speaker 20: plus pounds every year.
Speaker 1: So Donald Trump scrap net zero, net New Zealand to
Speaker 1: scrap net zero, Britain will scrap net zero, Little old Australia.
Speaker 1: Why didn't we Why don't we hear from the coalition
Speaker 1: the cost of net zero to Australians If it's forty
Speaker 1: billion pounds per annum in Britain, Trump said it was,
Speaker 1: however much hundreds of millions of dollars. What is the
Speaker 1: cost of net zero? Why aren't we being told we're
Speaker 1: paying it on our electricity bills, We're paying it through subsidies.
Speaker 1: Can somebody please tell us the cost the Aussie butler
Speaker 1: needs to know deserves today.
Speaker 3: And none of those countries you've just mentioned are blessed
Speaker 3: with the natural resources we are, so for us, it's
Speaker 3: even crazier to be going down that road because we
Speaker 3: should have the cheapest energy prices anywhere in the world.
Speaker 8: We are blessed.
Speaker 3: We are blessed with enormous amounts of gas, coal, uranium.
Speaker 3: We've got everything here, and yet our citizens pay some
Speaker 3: of the highest electricity costs. It's crippling manufacturing and it's
Speaker 3: only going to get worse if we keep going down
Speaker 3: this road. It is twenty thirty years time that will
Speaker 3: look back at this period and think we were all mad.
Speaker 5: Well, it is completely mad. You know.
Speaker 6: It's not only the thousands of dollars more we've seen
Speaker 6: on our power bills than many thousands of more that businesses.
Speaker 6: Small businesses by the way, really really really hurt the
Speaker 6: most of this because they don't have the cash flow
Speaker 6: to absorb these things. You talk to somebody like Dilie
Speaker 6: who represents a Western Sydney about what small business cafes, restaurants.
Speaker 6: It's the cost of refrigeration and freezing and gas and
Speaker 6: all of that massive. They can't absorb those costs and
Speaker 6: get passed on to consumers who can't afford to go
Speaker 6: out anyway, and it's this vicious cycle. But you know,
Speaker 6: on the other end too, the things like I don't
Speaker 6: know why they didn't say the Liberals we are going
Speaker 6: to ditch the capacity mechanism, which is basically the carbon
Speaker 6: trading scheme for the top companies, you know, which is
Speaker 6: again this huge impulse. This is something that hits at
Speaker 6: every single level of the economy. No one's articulating it,
Speaker 6: certainly you know the UK and the US. The other
Speaker 6: thing too, we have to talk about this is they
Speaker 6: don't have bands on nuclear power either, so they get
Speaker 6: that as well. This has been an incredible act of
Speaker 6: self harm. Australia has, as people Greg shared in a
Speaker 6: good warning, heading down a path towards mediocrity. And a
Speaker 6: large part of the reason why we are heading down
Speaker 6: this path to mediocrity is because everything costs you mutch,
Speaker 6: because the power that goes into it costs too much.
Speaker 1: And in the run up to the election, when Peter
Speaker 1: Dutton had every opportunity, when Donald Trump pulled out of
Speaker 1: Paris to simply say, look, if we win government, we
Speaker 1: will look at the Paris Agreement because obviously everything has
Speaker 1: changed now. Instead he said, oh, we signed a treaty,
Speaker 1: so we're going to stay with it. How did that
Speaker 1: go for you guys? A mensies was against signing treaties.
Speaker 1: B just run that result past me again. What happened
Speaker 1: with the coalitions? Yeah, it certainly was a land I
Speaker 1: got that bit right. It was a landslide to labor.
Speaker 3: Give the Australian people a choice in twenty nineteen was
Speaker 3: the last time they had a choice. When he came
Speaker 3: to energy policy and the coalition somehow won the unwinnable election.
Speaker 8: Yep, yep, And it was in large part to do.
Speaker 1: Because they said they wouldn't go down that zero.
Speaker 3: Ruleing that came out again this week showing that the
Speaker 3: majority of Australians prioritize cost over emissions. And we know
Speaker 3: that even if the polls don't show that, you can
Speaker 3: sell that when any people purchase an airline ticket.
Speaker 5: Of course, there's a bigger point here too.
Speaker 6: I'm glad you mentioned that coalition result because you know,
Speaker 6: in a few weeks time, in a few weeks time,
Speaker 6: all of the coalition MPs are going to go to
Speaker 6: camera and they're going to sit on their benches the
Speaker 6: opptions mentions, and they're going to see this wall of labor.
Speaker 6: And for the past several weeks and for the next
Speaker 6: several weeks, we're going to hear over and over again
Speaker 6: from commentators say, oh, it's because.
Speaker 5: You turned too far. I'm sorry, no one can tell me.
Speaker 6: I've asked a lot of people who've written some of
Speaker 6: these columns and said, where did they go really hard right?
Speaker 6: They didn't go hard right on that zero you know,
Speaker 6: when it was the welcome to the country thing, Peter Duttin,
Speaker 6: everybody says, oh, well, he was.
Speaker 5: Making a culture the country. He said, welcome to the
Speaker 5: countries were important.
Speaker 6: So I mean it's like you can't find some sort
Speaker 6: of area where they were prosecuting some crazy cultural Okay, fine,
Speaker 6: work from home. Oh well, okay, fine, but you know
Speaker 6: beyond that, like this is an election where they fought
Speaker 6: on no principles at all.
Speaker 5: Essentially, they didn't stick.
Speaker 3: To any principles, which was to outspend labor, all that labor.
Speaker 6: They turned left ed. You know the liberal parties who
Speaker 6: say they need to turn left and these people would
Speaker 6: never vote for the liberals of the Liberal.
Speaker 1: Party did what HQ Liberal Party did in the elections.
Speaker 1: They said what aboutsiders said today that we should do Okay,
Speaker 1: let's do the opposite. They did that for the entire election.
Speaker 1: Came in whatever sky News suggested that, particularly this show
Speaker 1: suggested they did the opposites and they lost. Why fascinated
Speaker 1: they Let's let's talk some positive news. David Chris Fooley
Speaker 1: criticized him in the past, but he's doing a great
Speaker 1: job days. Probably the pre eminent liberal now in Australian politics.
Speaker 1: Canceling acting a gigantic wind farm. Another wind farm closed
Speaker 1: this week because you know, they're shutting down or they're
Speaker 1: not investing in them. They've axed this one billion dollar
Speaker 1: wind farm because people are waking up to the reality
Speaker 1: that it is nonsense. Chris the phil is also bringing
Speaker 1: back coal, putting more emphasis on cole and so on,
Speaker 1: as well as gas and other things. James King, Charles,
Speaker 1: King Charles.
Speaker 5: Yes, what has King Charles been up to? Well, he's
Speaker 5: been up to wandering.
Speaker 1: Around Welcome the country knowledgement the Algonquin tribe.
Speaker 6: Canada, apparently because he was in Canada, and he opens
Speaker 6: the Canadian Parliament.
Speaker 5: With this land in golfment.
Speaker 6: It says it's unseated, I think, which suggested he's a
Speaker 6: sovereign of an illegitimation.
Speaker 1: Sovereign. He handed over sovereignty to the Algonquin. If I
Speaker 1: were a lawyer, the Algonquin's lawyer, I've been seeing there
Speaker 1: going you beauty, Yes, yes, give it to you. It's
Speaker 1: and you know, talk about welcome the country. This is
Speaker 1: what will happen if Charles comes here again. They'll do
Speaker 1: the same thing. It's insane indeed.
Speaker 3: But on the ned Zany front, he also bred that
Speaker 3: on about climate change, as he often does, and then
Speaker 3: he took a twenty seven car motorcade to the airport.
Speaker 3: Absolutely so, as always with Charles, it's not do as
Speaker 3: I say, not as I do, because there's a man
Speaker 3: who likes to take helicopters for very short distance.
Speaker 1: Of course, take a short break back in a ticket
Speaker 1: on outside his lots coming up. Not Hello, you're watching
Speaker 1: Outsiders with Rita, the Righteous Panah, James in Jesus's footsteps,
Speaker 1: Morrow and Rowan preaching to the converted dean. Yes, the
Speaker 1: right to proselytize, to preach, to seek to convert people
Speaker 1: to your religion or point of view, to stand on
Speaker 1: a soapbox and rant and rave and espouse your point
Speaker 1: of view proudly and passionately is a cornerstone of Western civilization,
Speaker 1: of Judeo Christianity, and of democracy. The street preachers were
Speaker 1: a feature of ancient Greece and Rome. The soapbox at
Speaker 1: Speaker's Corner in Hyde Park was always one of the
Speaker 1: delights of a trip to London. I also remember when
Speaker 1: I lived in London in the eighties. You couldn't escape
Speaker 1: Hari Krishna and that character who used to wander up
Speaker 1: and down Oxford Street with a large placard proclaiming that
Speaker 1: excessive lust was caused by eating too many nuts and protein.
Speaker 1: I think that was his message now song. As such
Speaker 1: individuals don't physically pester you, but rather rely on the
Speaker 1: eloquence or the power of their message to engage you
Speaker 1: in conversation, then that is a part of our civic
Speaker 1: life that we should treasure. Not in modern Australia. However,
Speaker 1: on Thursday last Thursday, a Sydney Street preacher attempted to
Speaker 1: merely wander around our most iconic public square, the forecourt
Speaker 1: to the Sydney Opera House, simply holding a small placard
Speaker 1: that read Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life,
Speaker 1: and then in smaller print, no one comes to the
Speaker 1: farther exits through me. He did not have a megaphone
Speaker 1: or even a milk crate. He was not even using
Speaker 1: his voice, just simply wandering around a very open space,
Speaker 1: not interfering or disturbing anyone, simply holding a small and
Speaker 1: unobtrusive placard. The preacher, his name is Mike McCarthy's a
Speaker 1: bit of Alarica and he has his own YouTube channel.
Speaker 1: It's called Mike with the Mic. On Thursday, however, he
Speaker 1: wasn't using any kind of microphone, simply a handheld sign
Speaker 1: as you saw. And yet, first of all, Sydney Opera
Speaker 1: House security guards ask him to go elsewhere on the
Speaker 1: grounds that he was breaking a by law which says
Speaker 1: people cannot quote distribute or display by oral, visual, written, electronic,
Speaker 1: or other means an advertisement, sign, bill, poster, or other
Speaker 1: promotional material end of quote on the Opera House premises
Speaker 1: I'll get to that biler on a tick. But when
Speaker 1: Mike refused to move away with his sign instead of
Speaker 1: just leaving it at that, the Opera House security called
Speaker 1: the police. And here's what happened next. I've edited it down,
Speaker 1: but you'll get the gist of it. After the police
Speaker 1: told Mike to move on, he asked what the crime was.
Speaker 1: They've tried to be reasonable.
Speaker 4: Okay, tell me what the crime I've done. Police, you're
Speaker 4: not well, I've done nothing. No, you're going to have
Speaker 4: to tell me what I'm doing wrong, or I'm not
Speaker 4: going anywhere. Yes, you've already told me there's no move
Speaker 4: on direction going to happen here, and I'll become argumentative
Speaker 4: with you as well. But unless you can tell me,
Speaker 4: unless you can tell me what I've done wrong. Yeah,
Speaker 4: this is Australia.
Speaker 13: This up.
Speaker 4: The Constitution of Australia says I can preach religion anywhere
Speaker 4: in Australia. All right, that's all I'm doing. And I'm
Speaker 4: not even doing that. I'm just walking around looking at that.
Speaker 11: What are you going to do?
Speaker 4: You're going to arrest me.
Speaker 5: I don't want you at this point.
Speaker 4: Well you can if you like, because I'm on principle.
Speaker 4: Well on principle, I'm not going to leave because I'm
Speaker 4: an Australian citizen and I do it.
Speaker 8: You can do it.
Speaker 3: If I can't.
Speaker 4: If I can't walk anywhere in Australia with this sign,
Speaker 4: there is a problem. All you've said is you're going
Speaker 4: to arrest me for walking on this land with this sign.
Speaker 1: Is that what you've said? Is that?
Speaker 4: What you've said, is that what you've said I can't
Speaker 4: have The sign.
Speaker 1: Wasn't over yet. The security guard jumped back in, although
Speaker 1: he was keen not to be photographed.
Speaker 4: Of course I can do all that, but this is
Speaker 4: this is this is for our protection.
Speaker 20: Of course.
Speaker 1: In the end, Mike toddle off, but a few points
Speaker 1: have to be raised. This confrontation was entirely unnecessary. Did
Speaker 1: the security guards really have nothing better to do than
Speaker 1: to call the police into harass this character? But then
Speaker 1: came the giveaway. This was primarily primarily about authoritarianism. The
Speaker 1: security guard even admits as much, unbelievably, saying that the
Speaker 1: problem was not the sign, but the individual who did
Speaker 1: not immediately obey instructions.
Speaker 4: You're going you're going round in circles about me doing
Speaker 4: something wrong.
Speaker 21: You wouldn't talk to me at stage one. You wouldn't
Speaker 21: talk about colleague at stage one. It's not the sign
Speaker 21: as much as this your.
Speaker 1: Jan It's not the sign so much as it's you,
Speaker 1: and there we have it. I frequently observed that one
Speaker 1: of the very worst aftermaths of the appalling COVID tyranny
Speaker 1: years is the petty and bullying and often cowardly authoritarianism
Speaker 1: of those with even a hint of power. By the
Speaker 1: security guard's own admission, the police were called wasting valuable
Speaker 1: police time to argue with an individual who literally posed
Speaker 1: no threat to anyone or anything near the opera house
Speaker 1: steps because he had dared to question authority. In fact,
Speaker 1: he even repeats that admission.
Speaker 21: I wanted to stop and talk to you about this
Speaker 21: and read it. You know what, when you're moving around
Speaker 21: and you started arguing with me, that was the issue.
Speaker 4: Yes, okay, and.
Speaker 21: You're no, I'm going to keep walking. I'm not talking
Speaker 21: you well, getting saying your recipe if you want, You're
Speaker 21: being argument in public in front of all these people
Speaker 21: in front of me. Okay, that's the issue.
Speaker 4: That's an issue.
Speaker 1: Can you bear it? And then, just in case there's
Speaker 1: any doubt that this is simply about the exercise of
Speaker 1: authority rather than say common sense or a genuine question
Speaker 1: of security or a public nuisance or whatever, the security
Speaker 1: guard reiterates his power once again.
Speaker 4: I'm just going to walk off because you say so.
Speaker 4: You're going to prove to me. You know, you don't
Speaker 4: have authority over me.
Speaker 21: I don't need authority over you.
Speaker 1: But on this side, it was the great writer and
Speaker 1: TV personality Clive James who made the astute ovation that
Speaker 1: the problem with Australians is not that we are descended
Speaker 1: from convicts, but rather that we are descended from prison officers.
Speaker 1: And that's what we had here. Yet again, Australia has
Speaker 1: become the land of the petty authoritarian, eager to exercise
Speaker 1: power and authority over anybody they can. The land of
Speaker 1: red tape, green tape, black tape, the land that closes
Speaker 1: beaches to non indigenous people, and the land that stops
Speaker 1: people climbing its mountains and rock formations. The land of
Speaker 1: the petty bureaucrat. We saw it last week with Naji
Speaker 1: chu here on outside as the owner of the Excellent restaurant,
Speaker 1: Lady Choosing King's Cross, being hounded by Sydney City councilors
Speaker 1: over some pot plants on the pavement. And of course
Speaker 1: we saw a time and time again during the COVID years,
Speaker 1: the endless hounding and harassing and even arresting of citizens
Speaker 1: who dared to defy idiotic regulations. The opera house confrontation
Speaker 1: lasted another ten minutes, with the police and the security
Speaker 1: guards accusing Mike the reacher of being in breach of
Speaker 1: the by laws because he had a sign that was
Speaker 1: advertising Jesus and he was attracting attention.
Speaker 22: Here point is this your trusting attention, So even though
Speaker 22: you're preaching, were.
Speaker 4: Accord of course from a directing attention.
Speaker 1: In the end, as I said, Mike headed off and
Speaker 1: the cops and the security guards, no doubt filed their
Speaker 1: reports about a job well done. But by now, of course,
Speaker 1: what had occurred to me about this particular event will
Speaker 1: no doubt have occurred to you. If you are an
Speaker 1: overseas viewer, the steps of the Sydney Opera House might
Speaker 1: ring a bell. Yes, the very spot Mike the Preacher
Speaker 1: was turfed away from by these over eager police officers
Speaker 1: and security guards for holding a placard advertising his beliefs
Speaker 1: was the very spot of Australia's greatest night of shame,
Speaker 1: the vile Due Hatred of October ninth, twenty twenty three.
Speaker 23: Phone right.
Speaker 1: Yes, the very spot where the cops were hounding Mike
Speaker 1: for holding his harmless Jesus sign was the very same
Speaker 1: spot that saw the most grotesque scenes, including crowds chanting
Speaker 1: obscenities towards Australian Jews, waving flags and placards and calling
Speaker 1: her all sorts of religious chants. The Jew Hatred, on
Speaker 1: display on October ninth, twenty twenty three, long before Israel
Speaker 1: had gone anywhere near Gaza, was described by the Spectator
Speaker 1: of Australia as a program at the opera a night
Speaker 1: of infamy in New South Wales and Australia's policing history.
Speaker 1: No arrests that night, No security guards banging on about
Speaker 1: Bylord's being breached. Nobody being harassed for waving massive flags
Speaker 1: and placards and letting off flares and screaming vile abuse
Speaker 1: in one of us Stra's most iconic spots. No heavy
Speaker 1: security dudes exercising more authority and getting upset about people
Speaker 1: arguing with them. In fact, the only person the police
Speaker 1: did arrest that night was one single man carrying a
Speaker 1: Star of David flag. You cowards, you bullies. This is
Speaker 1: the disgraceful reality of this country in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: The authorities ignore and even plicate the most vile racism
Speaker 1: and due hatred to the extent of hiring an acoustics
Speaker 1: expert to claim them mob were chanting where's the Jews?
Speaker 1: Rather than something far more sinister. But hey, how dare
Speaker 1: Nigi Chu put some pot plants on the pavement? How
Speaker 1: dare Mark Spirou carry in Israeli flagged? How dare might
Speaker 1: the preacher wander around with a placard advertising Jesus welcome
Speaker 1: to the land of the cowardly, bullying, heavy handed, petty
Speaker 1: authoritarian bureaucrat. Heaven help us all. Former Trump senior advisor
Speaker 1: Christian Whitten joins us. Now, great to see you, Christian.
Speaker 1: As always, we've been talking about hag Seth, Peter HeiG Seth,
Speaker 1: the all we've lost.
Speaker 5: Have we got him?
Speaker 1: Have we got him? No, we can't see him. We're
Speaker 1: just getting anyway, We're going to ask Christian about what
Speaker 1: we're talking about. Peter Heigseth, who has said that China
Speaker 1: is ramping up its intentions on Taiwan. As we were
Speaker 1: talking about James and Reader earlier, this is critical to
Speaker 1: Australia's defense. James, Well, Robert.
Speaker 6: Actually I wanted just to go back to Troy for
Speaker 6: a moment if I made just for Sister. You mentioned
Speaker 6: the Sydney Opera house steps and that infamous demonstration being
Speaker 6: beamed around the world. When I was in New York
Speaker 6: two weeks ago, I was at an event and I
Speaker 6: had Jewish New Yorkers coming off to me and saying
Speaker 6: you live in Australia, said yeah, what is going on
Speaker 6: with the anti Semitism in Australia. This has gone around
Speaker 6: the world. Nearly two years after that event, are still
Speaker 6: talking about it and they're bringing it up to me,
Speaker 6: I was mortified as an Australian edit America. Well, same
Speaker 6: that is that this is the situation, this is the
Speaker 6: reputation we now have absolutely around the world.
Speaker 3: Well, I was in Israel in December and precisely the
Speaker 3: same thing. When people learned that our group was from Australia,
Speaker 3: the first thing that would that would mention was the
Speaker 3: anti Semitic incidents, and comments were made, do you hate
Speaker 3: Jews like all the other people in Australia. They think
Speaker 3: it's a widely held position, just because there's been so
Speaker 3: many of these.
Speaker 1: And then on top of our COVID reputation, poor Olzoe Muller,
Speaker 1: a young man who was thrown against the ground, and
Speaker 1: all those events our reputation and we are, let's face it,
Speaker 1: we are we are heading down a very ugly authoritarian country.
Speaker 1: Was certainly not the country that I grew up in.
Speaker 1: We've got Christian written with a Christian great so we
Speaker 1: had a technical glitcher. I think it was the Chinese
Speaker 1: might have put one of those bugs off one of
Speaker 1: those cables under the sea or done something or other.
Speaker 1: I joke. Of course Christian. We were talking about Peter Hegseth.
Speaker 1: So he's been in Singapore, the leaders or the Minister's
Speaker 1: conference there on defense. What is the position? You know,
Speaker 1: Rachas showed earlier brilliantly the new ad for example, at
Speaker 1: the US military have put out shining. You know, they're
Speaker 1: back on top of it. All the work stuff is gone.
Speaker 1: How serious is the threats from China to Taiwan.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's a mixed bag, I'd say with Hegzeth.
Speaker 23: On the one hand, this is something that's been going
Speaker 23: on literally for twenty years. It was twenty years ago
Speaker 23: Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
Speaker 11: Who worked for George W.
Speaker 23: Bush, went to the Shangri La conference and warned about
Speaker 23: China's increased military spending. It's interesting how much clearer and
Speaker 23: more concise we've dispensed with the happy talk that China's
Speaker 23: rise may be peaceful. And heg Seth said, if China
Speaker 23: invades Taiwan, there'll be dire consequences.
Speaker 11: That's pretty clear language.
Speaker 23: The flip side is is that the Pentagon hasn't really
Speaker 23: changed a lot. It has changed as far as getting
Speaker 23: rid of the dei stuff, the politically correct stuff, the
Speaker 23: woke stuff, bringing back the warrior ethos but the idea
Speaker 23: of canceling obsolete weapons systems that would be extremely vulnerable
Speaker 23: in the conflict of China, dramatically repositioning US and allied
Speaker 23: forces in the Pacific.
Speaker 11: Some of that's going on. A lot of it preceded, hegseeth.
Speaker 23: Of course, Tokyo is nearly doubling it spending on defense.
Speaker 23: There's the US Australia UK agreement. So certainly some good
Speaker 23: signs that people are getting serious about the threat and
Speaker 23: the Pacific. And China probably looks at what happens to Russia.
Speaker 23: And even though Russia has survived all the sanctions from
Speaker 23: the Ukraine War, it's unclear with China's economy if it could.
Speaker 23: But you know, we're still in this position where China
Speaker 23: isn't really deterred.
Speaker 11: They've been put on notice, but you don't really know
Speaker 11: what they're.
Speaker 5: Going to do.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 3: Donald Trump's attention is definitely on China or on a
Speaker 3: number of fronts. He's put a ban on Chinese students
Speaker 3: with any ties to the CCAP from studying at American universities.
Speaker 8: Tell me about that, because that would have shook up
Speaker 8: the academic world.
Speaker 23: Yeah, that's a big step as well, because of the
Speaker 23: say million foreign students who study at US universities, fully
Speaker 23: a quarter of them or China, and they pull pay
Speaker 23: full tuition unlike most Americans.
Speaker 11: So you know, it's hard. It's likely that most of
Speaker 11: these people have links to an elite.
Speaker 23: If you're in China and you could afford that much money,
Speaker 23: you probably at one point or another have a family.
Speaker 11: That's touched by the CCP and these displays.
Speaker 23: Of course, Americans and others from universities universities love it.
Speaker 11: It's a cash cow, but you have to.
Speaker 23: Ask, does Harvard with an endowment of fifty billion dollars
Speaker 23: or Yale with an endowment of forty billion dollars they
Speaker 23: really need that much more.
Speaker 11: Money, especially if it's coming from China.
Speaker 23: And this will probably be a good way to put
Speaker 23: pressure on the Chinese government because they may have to
Speaker 23: talk up China's future for domestic consumption. The reality is,
Speaker 23: if you look at their kids, they're out trying to
Speaker 23: get US passports or passports from other countries and they're
Speaker 23: not studying in China.
Speaker 6: Well, you know, that's a really interesting point you make
Speaker 6: there because one of the criticisms and this ties in
Speaker 6: what you're saying to Australian universities as well.
Speaker 5: Christian.
Speaker 6: You know, we have the situation where universities have stopped
Speaker 6: being about educating the students of the country that they existed,
Speaker 6: and they become more sort of hedge funds and migration
Speaker 6: agencies with classrooms attached. Because what I'm seeing, and I'd
Speaker 6: love your thoughts on whether this is what's happening in
Speaker 6: the US, you know, because as you say, these migrants
Speaker 6: or people coming in with the student visas, they see
Speaker 6: this as a path to residency and citizenship, and then
Speaker 6: the university gets to scoop up some money along the way.
Speaker 6: But you know, we know that sometimes education doesn't necessarily
Speaker 6: happen in the process. Is this a bigger chance to
Speaker 6: reframe and refocus these universities which are having a big
Speaker 6: crisis with things like you know, junk science and junk
Speaker 6: studies and you know, kids coming out without degrees that
Speaker 6: are worth anything.
Speaker 23: I think that's right, and that's what Rubio and President
Speaker 23: Trump are up to here.
Speaker 11: Because the theory originally was.
Speaker 23: That people are going to come to America or come
Speaker 23: elsewhere to the West, or come to Australia out of China.
Speaker 11: They're going to breathe the sweet air of freedom about democracy,
Speaker 11: and then they're going to go back home. Yes, there's
Speaker 11: some exceptions, as you just noted, and didn't go back
Speaker 11: home and tell they're commedy friends and this will change China.
Speaker 23: And the problem you just mentioned a lot of political
Speaker 23: correctness and curbs on unalienable rights that you have in
Speaker 23: the problem with American universities, a lot of them are
Speaker 23: anti American. Actually, you know, different applies to a different
Speaker 23: part of the world. But one of the key figures
Speaker 23: of the Muslim Brotherhood studied in the United States and
Speaker 23: it didn't make him pro American, and it made him
Speaker 23: hate America more.
Speaker 11: That's one thing. And even if people don't hate.
Speaker 23: America, just the idea that they come here get technical
Speaker 23: skills and then go back and use them in China
Speaker 23: and they're not promoting democracy or a more placid China.
Speaker 11: So that part of the equation just isn't working.
Speaker 1: Christian, I just want to play you a clip of
Speaker 1: Trump and watch particularly the smile of satisfaction on his face.
Speaker 1: So he's reading out for the media to report on
Speaker 1: good economic results. Have a listen from you know, Joe
Speaker 1: Kiernan and Rick Santelli just just came out, and we'll
Speaker 1: just play that for a second. Personal income is eight ten, eight.
Speaker 5: Tens of percent.
Speaker 1: That is almost triple the expectations.
Speaker 5: I'll tell the income the income numbers.
Speaker 11: Really for the first four months of the year, there's stellar.
Speaker 1: So at the at the end of the day, Trump
Speaker 1: will be judged on the American economy above all else.
Speaker 1: So how is the American economy going Christian?
Speaker 23: As it points out, And that was on an NBC
Speaker 23: media property, So this is a very anti Trump, left
Speaker 23: wing media property c NBC. But you have personal income
Speaker 23: going up even adjusted for inflation, and that was something
Speaker 23: that happened during the first Trump administration and did not
Speaker 23: happen under Biden, where the middle class all way journals
Speaker 23: actually were set back by inflation that moved faster than wages. Also,
Speaker 23: just general gross national product looking good, and everyone said,
Speaker 23: oh my god, you know, tariffs are going.
Speaker 11: To raise prices. It didn't happen.
Speaker 23: Prices are stable and imports actually declined. So everything that
Speaker 23: the doomsday or said would happen isn't happening. Now there
Speaker 23: should be a green light for the Federal Reserve to
Speaker 23: cut interest rates because there's no, inflation growth is a
Speaker 23: little bit slow, and you have some storm clouds on
Speaker 23: the horizon and they're not going to do it. You
Speaker 23: have a federal Reserve that I think wants to tank
Speaker 23: the economy to hurt Trump. Trump's putting a lot of
Speaker 23: pressure on Jerme Powell, of course, the FED chairman, to
Speaker 23: change course.
Speaker 3: The inflation numbers were fantastic that just came out in
Speaker 3: the last couple of days. But I want to ask
Speaker 3: you about this judicial insurrection, as it's been just about
Speaker 3: every single Trump policy seems to be have an obstacle
Speaker 3: throwing it's away by some activists judge appointed by a Democrat.
Speaker 3: How's the administration going to deal with that, How they're
Speaker 3: going to actually do what they said they were going
Speaker 3: to do when they're frustrated at every step.
Speaker 23: Ultimately, I think they're going to win because I think
Speaker 23: this is really exposed that the mid levels of the
Speaker 23: judiciary remain very activists. They're not just interpreting laws, they're
Speaker 23: trying to invent laws, trying to make laws that the
Speaker 23: legislative had, or trying to usurp powers that the Constitution
Speaker 23: gives to the president. But the Supreme Court you still
Speaker 23: do have six people who think the Constitution means what
Speaker 23: it says, a sixty three conservative majority. I do think
Speaker 23: Trump will lose on one thing the summer, which is
Speaker 23: birthright citizenship. I think the Constitution just plainly says if
Speaker 23: you were born here, you're an American.
Speaker 11: Trump has tried to refute that through executive order.
Speaker 23: He loses on that one, but everything else, I think
Speaker 23: all the powers of the residency has power to enforce
Speaker 23: immigration law, to revoke status of countries, like say everyone
Speaker 23: from Venezuela is a political dissident.
Speaker 11: That's no longer true. That's what Biden said. Now, if
Speaker 11: you're the high.
Speaker 23: Level of the Venezuelan opposition, yeah you're a refugee. If
Speaker 23: you just came here from Venezuela and want to upgrade
Speaker 23: to your life, I would probably be one of those people.
Speaker 23: But the fact is it wouldn't make me a legitimate refugee.
Speaker 11: So I think Trump ultimately wins. It's going to take
Speaker 11: some time.
Speaker 23: And this really actually, you know, agitates conservatives and Trump
Speaker 23: voters who might sit out midterm elections next year to
Speaker 23: really go hard and make sure that Republicans pick up
Speaker 23: seats in the Senate because that's of course where you
Speaker 23: get judges, conservative judges, confirmed times.
Speaker 6: And need all my life, you know, in America, I
Speaker 6: always knew that from a kid that judges were the
Speaker 6: thing that you know, made it. That's what rated was
Speaker 6: all about. But I want to talk though about foreign
Speaker 6: policy just a little bit too, because we've seen some
Speaker 6: interesting complexities. Shall we see here? We've seen this seeming
Speaker 6: sort of rift between the Trump administration and the Netanyahu
Speaker 6: government in Israel over questions whether or not to attack
Speaker 6: Iran and also around Gaza. At the same time, we
Speaker 6: have seen Trump taking a far stronger line on Vladimir
Speaker 6: Putin after his continued attacks on Ukraine, after you cease
Speaker 6: fire talks and all that.
Speaker 5: Sort of thing.
Speaker 6: Walk us through where the Trump administration's foreign policy is going,
Speaker 6: because I think we don't pay enough attention to this
Speaker 6: as he tries to undo two of the great disasters
Speaker 6: that befell the world during the Body administration October seventh
Speaker 6: being one, and of course the invasion of Ukraine being
Speaker 6: the other.
Speaker 23: Right, I think there's really too much emphasis. So maybe
Speaker 23: the White House has some blame in this. In a
Speaker 23: breakthrough deal with Russia and Ukraine and a break through
Speaker 23: deal with Iran. The White House and I was just
Speaker 23: there yesterday, is sending very positive message messages about a deal,
Speaker 23: a nuclear deal with Iran. Steve Witkoff, the negotiator, has
Speaker 23: sent a latest version to Tayhran. And it all comes
Speaker 23: down to the question of reprocessing fuel and enriching fuel
Speaker 23: in Iran, whether it happens or not, So we'll see
Speaker 23: what they say. I'm actually more doubtful, but I think
Speaker 23: that Trump's first term approach, which he's doing now, which
Speaker 23: is pressure on Iran, maximum pressure.
Speaker 11: Probably would be just fine.
Speaker 23: Similar with Ukraine, it was always unlikely there's some magical
Speaker 23: word salad that will get the Russians to change their
Speaker 23: view of national interests or to get the Ukrainians to
Speaker 23: accept the reality that they're not going to recover all
Speaker 23: the land that Russia has won at great expense.
Speaker 11: So those two things may just have to go on.
Speaker 23: It's unfortunate because in the case of Russia and Ukraine,
Speaker 23: it means more killing. But amid this, there's a successful
Speaker 23: foreign policy, which is a strong America, America's that's not
Speaker 23: apologizing for itself, a military that's no longer woke, and
Speaker 23: in the Middle East, a recognition that the power is
Speaker 23: between the free world countries like the United States and
Speaker 23: Australia that still have confidence in themselves and those Gulf powers.
Speaker 11: It's not in.
Speaker 23: Cozying up to Iran, which is what the previous administration did.
Speaker 23: So I think if you if you walk, if you
Speaker 23: step back from the deals. And also there's a huge
Speaker 23: of course trade realignment going on. Talks with China are
Speaker 23: going nowhere, but that what that means is I think
Speaker 23: US allies are in a very good.
Speaker 11: Position to have durable, lasting.
Speaker 23: Agreements that are good and that that are a key
Speaker 23: part of the Trump foreign policy success.
Speaker 1: Christian, I'm glad you mentioned word salad because I wanted
Speaker 1: you to know that we just had Kamala Harris out
Speaker 1: here doing a conference, and I think that's one import
Speaker 1: from America. We'd like a high a tariff on. Thank
Speaker 1: you very much if you're going to send us any
Speaker 1: more of your work politicians. Is that Christian? Always great
Speaker 1: to chat to you, and we chat again. Varies saying
Speaker 1: thanks so much. After the right James is don't keep
Speaker 1: it lots more here on Outsiders, Thank go way, let's tick.
Speaker 6: Well, Hello, you're watching Outsiders, James Morrow here as always
Speaker 6: with your hosts Rowan, doctor Phil Dean and Rita Agony
Speaker 6: Aunt Pantahy. And what a big old week it has been.
Speaker 6: I mean, the week kicked off with the greatest French
Speaker 6: humiliation since imagine no wine. When the world watched French
Speaker 6: President Imaniel Macron caught a shove or a slap or
Speaker 6: at least something pretty unpleasant from his wife Brigitte, just
Speaker 6: as the door to their plane, Air Force OOH, landed after.
Speaker 5: Landing in Vietnam.
Speaker 6: And well you just know that after seeing this, Donald Trump,
Speaker 6: who has let's just say a bit of experience one
Speaker 6: where the other when it comes to marriages, would have
Speaker 6: something to say about this.
Speaker 5: Here is the President in the Oval office.
Speaker 24: Friday this week there was a video on board a
Speaker 24: plane that showed the first Lady of France slapping her husband,
Speaker 24: Emmanuel Macrum. Do you have any world leaders, world leader
Speaker 24: marital advice?
Speaker 4: Make sure the door.
Speaker 6: Remains sound advice there, especially as Makron's stunned mullet look
Speaker 6: suggesting that he had no idea that a helpful cabinet
Speaker 6: tendant was about to swing the door open.
Speaker 5: Isn't it great though?
Speaker 6: To have a president now who answers questions from the
Speaker 6: press rather than just mumbling along while reporters shouted him
Speaker 6: as we had with Joe Biden.
Speaker 5: Meanwhile, they're in the Oval Office.
Speaker 6: Elon Musk, whose time as the Doge Father has come
Speaker 6: to an end after his position as a one and
Speaker 6: thirty day special government appointee, timed out well.
Speaker 5: He was there in the Oval Office too.
Speaker 6: And he didn't hold back dealing with a fake news
Speaker 6: report from the New York Times.
Speaker 24: There is a New York Times before today that accuses
Speaker 24: you of blurring between.
Speaker 5: New York Times.
Speaker 25: Is that the same publication that's got a Pulitzer Prize
Speaker 25: for a false recording.
Speaker 5: On ont of the Russia Gate? Is Is it the
Speaker 5: same organization?
Speaker 1: So I think the judges.
Speaker 26: Ruled against New York Times for their lives about the
Speaker 26: Russia Gate hoax, and.
Speaker 14: That they might have to give back that fulidzer price
Speaker 14: for that New York Times Let's move on.
Speaker 6: So bad, my friends and any center right politicians are
Speaker 6: watching this morning. That is how you deal with those
Speaker 6: sorts of gotcha questions.
Speaker 5: Rule number one, call them out.
Speaker 6: Rule number two, don't let your enemies in the press
Speaker 6: determine the terms of engagement. If only some of our
Speaker 6: local politicians had that sort of gumption when it comes
Speaker 6: to say the ABC. But when it comes to dealing
Speaker 6: with the media, no one in the Trump white House
Speaker 6: is more of a star performer, I think, than Trump
Speaker 6: advisor Stephen Miller, who is a living, breathing deportation machine.
Speaker 6: Here he is jousting with CNN Pamela Brown.
Speaker 27: Do you think a judge should just rubber stamp what
Speaker 27: your White House does? If not, what checks and balances
Speaker 27: do you think should be in place for this White House?
Speaker 28: When you say do we think district court judges should
Speaker 28: rubber stamp each action, there is a premise that is
Speaker 28: built into that that is absurd. The president is the
Speaker 28: sole head of the executive branch. She's the only officer
Speaker 28: in the entire government that's elected by the entire American people.
Speaker 28: Democracy cannot function. In fact, democracy does not exist at all.
Speaker 28: If each action the president takes foreign policy, diplomatic, military,
Speaker 28: national security has to be individually approved by seven hundred
Speaker 28: district court judges.
Speaker 1: That's democracy.
Speaker 28: So if there's fifteen communists crazy judges on the court,
Speaker 28: that each of them, as a team, working together, can
Speaker 28: block and freeze each and every executive action, communist crazy judges.
Speaker 5: You gotta love it now. Miller, also in.
Speaker 6: That same interview, had no time for CNN's failure to
Speaker 6: use the correct terminology when it comes to the word undocumented,
Speaker 6: which is just Orwellian news speak for illegal.
Speaker 27: Undocumented migrant sent a letter threatening to kill the president,
Speaker 27: promising to self deport after the assassination. Seeing in reporting
Speaker 27: shows that investigators believe the migrant was set up. It
Speaker 27: was a victim of a setup. What is the administration
Speaker 27: going to do now? And this is an undocumented immigrant.
Speaker 27: I do want to note that, but this was someone
Speaker 27: who came forward, was a victim of a crime, and
Speaker 27: now law enforcement believes he was set up.
Speaker 28: Go ahead, I want to clarify what you mean. So
Speaker 28: we're talking about the same thing. Are you saying this
Speaker 28: this immigrant was here illegally.
Speaker 11: Yes, but I am.
Speaker 27: And that's why I said that.
Speaker 28: I clarify them said it just said undocumented, and I
Speaker 28: wasn't clear what that means. I'm assuming they have a
Speaker 28: fake ID. If you assuming they have a fact that's
Speaker 28: neither here.
Speaker 27: Ita Steven Ah, Yes, that's how it does.
Speaker 6: And by the way, it is on this issue of
Speaker 6: the question of whether calling them illegal or undocument migrants,
Speaker 6: or hey, let's just let it down the middle and
Speaker 6: say people who shouldn't be in the country in the
Speaker 6: first place. This is where the left in America absolutely
Speaker 6: falls apart. Now I want to take you to Martha's Vineyard,
Speaker 6: which is, of course, one of the toniest old money
Speaker 6: lefty holiday spots in the United States up there in
Speaker 6: New England, and one where you'd be hard pressed to
Speaker 6: find any support for Trump. So if I told you
Speaker 6: that when ICE agents made raids on the island and
Speaker 6: made forty arrests, including authorities, say of an MS thirteen
Speaker 6: member gang member and a child sex offender, well the
Speaker 6: good left leading people of Martha's Vineyard would be up
Speaker 6: in arms if you thought that, Well, guess what you'd
Speaker 6: be right.
Speaker 15: I think it could be any of us next.
Speaker 1: Martha's Vineyard resident Jane Catch held a sign yesterday at
Speaker 1: the Vineyard Haven terminal warning visitors.
Speaker 22: The island has a history of supporting people who are different,
Speaker 22: supporting immigrants.
Speaker 5: Huh, that's funny.
Speaker 6: Martha's Vineyard a record of supporting immigrants. It's funny because
Speaker 6: back when Florida and Governor Ron DeSantis sent a few
Speaker 6: dozen illegal migrants to Martha's vineyard. The locals there couldn't
Speaker 6: wait to kick them out and say goodbye, Oh blessed.
Speaker 6: But weren't they so diverse for forty eight hours. Look,
Speaker 6: I don't know if the left there on Martha's vinyard
Speaker 6: really had the courage of their convictions. They should have
Speaker 6: offered to let those Ms thirteen gang bangers and sex
Speaker 6: criminals come around and do a little gardening, mow the law,
Speaker 6: and maybe look after the kids. But no, that would
Speaker 6: involve being consistent. And when it comes to the left,
Speaker 6: well we just can't.
Speaker 1: Have that, can we. Great stuff, James, We've got a
Speaker 1: Biden clip as well. Let's have a look at this.
Speaker 1: This was just I think yesterday or the day before,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden back out there again.
Speaker 13: There's also been a lot of discussion recently about you
Speaker 13: were mental, mental and physical capabilities while you were in office.
Speaker 5: You can see that mentally incompetent.
Speaker 13: Do you want to reply to any of those reports
Speaker 13: and also to the fact that there are some Democrats
Speaker 13: who are now questioning whether you should have run for
Speaker 13: reelection as the first place.
Speaker 5: Well, I don't know.
Speaker 6: I don't know Row and Peter, I mean Rita, and hey,
Speaker 6: it's not a joke. It's not a joke what he's
Speaker 6: saying there. Joe Biden is all I think he's talking
Speaker 6: about Jake Tapper, Jake Tapper's co author of this book
Speaker 6: that's basically been talking about.
Speaker 8: He thinks he can physically beat them.
Speaker 6: I don't know he could beat well.
Speaker 5: And he still thought Rita that he could be Trump.
Speaker 5: He still he was.
Speaker 6: Illusion as well as everything else. I mean, I think
Speaker 6: the two kind of go together. But you know, it's
Speaker 6: just it's you know, you hain't saying it's practically just
Speaker 6: sort of sad how he's trying to sort of still
Speaker 6: cling onto this when he has been disgraced, when he
Speaker 6: has been outed, when the family is a mess, when
Speaker 6: he's had to pardon his own son, if it was
Speaker 6: him and not the autopen doing it for a hunter,
Speaker 6: you know, with the autopan who knows, you know. So
Speaker 6: the whole thing that's really fascinating to me is that
Speaker 6: now suddenly that the Bidens have no power, the spell
Speaker 6: is gone, the spell is broken. You know, all of
Speaker 6: these people in the media, Jake Tapper and everybody else
Speaker 6: who were saying oh no, no, what they do on
Speaker 6: Sky News Australia, it's fake news, it's cheap fakes about
Speaker 6: Joe Biden. Well now they can suddenly say, oh, yeah,
Speaker 6: look we knew all along the guy was gaga that
Speaker 6: he was well.
Speaker 3: None of that, like it's some investigation, but stuff we've
Speaker 3: been saying for five years. But they're not looking that closely, James,
Speaker 3: because they're not looking at you mentioned the auto pen
Speaker 3: who was making those decisions, because it wasn't that guy
Speaker 3: who was determining who was going to get a pardon
Speaker 3: in the final days of his presence.
Speaker 8: Well, are those.
Speaker 3: Pardons even valid given that he as the president, he
Speaker 3: has to be the one to make that decision. And
Speaker 3: we've also learned the enormous influence Hunter Biden had in
Speaker 3: the Biden administration. This coke adult whore enthusiast was acting
Speaker 3: as a chief of staff assorts.
Speaker 6: Essentially, Rita, we are now hearing all sorts of things.
Speaker 6: I mean, the first thing you got to say is
Speaker 6: that the press, who are now suddenly in Washington, the
Speaker 6: press Corps saying oh look.
Speaker 5: You know, suddenly who knew? Why did we ask the question?
Speaker 6: These guys are like arsonists who then show up in
Speaker 6: the fire department to help put out the fire.
Speaker 5: That is all they're doing.
Speaker 6: There should be like a law, you know how criminals
Speaker 6: when they commit a crime and they can't make money
Speaker 6: off of a.
Speaker 5: Book writing about the crowd.
Speaker 6: All of these jernos who covered for Biden said it's
Speaker 6: fake news that he's you know, losing it and all
Speaker 6: of this other stuff. And now they're cash again to
Speaker 6: try to get big fat royalty checks and save their reputation.
Speaker 6: It's bogus. But on the question of who was running
Speaker 6: the White House, you know, this is such an important question.
Speaker 6: This week we've had not only revelations, but what Hunter
Speaker 6: was doing. Jill Biden's chief of staff was also a big,
Speaker 6: big player. It has been Jill, Jill Biden's chief of staff,
Speaker 6: so the first Lady's chief of staff. It sounds like
Speaker 6: some sort of late.
Speaker 5: Automated court sort of struggle.
Speaker 6: In that place with all these different factions knifing each other.
Speaker 1: Try and wait for the movie control the auto pack. Yeah,
Speaker 1: wait for the movie. Count wait for it. After the break,
Speaker 1: Andra clown show in a tick roll up, roll up,
Speaker 1: step right this way, Ladies and gentlemen, it's the wackiest
Speaker 1: show on Earth. It is, of course, the Canberra clown Show,
Speaker 1: home of zero fanatics and the climate coats who infest
Speaker 1: every single corner of the Burley Griffin Big Top like
Speaker 1: a plague of Bogan mar Now, before we begin our
Speaker 1: merry tale, allow me to take you back to the
Speaker 1: heady days of nineteen eighties synthesizer pop bands like d
Speaker 1: Reem and Dare. Now that new wave keyboard player was
Speaker 1: none other than the young Brian Cox, seen here appropriately
Speaker 1: on the far left of your screen, who went on
Speaker 1: to find fame and glory not as a pop star
Speaker 1: with this group Dare, but as a BBC stargazer and
Speaker 1: popular Telly astrophysicist explaining science to the kiddies.
Speaker 29: I think that life is the most fascinating, naturally occurring phenomenon.
Speaker 1: In the universe. Brilliant insight. Yes, well, I guess you
Speaker 1: can't argue with that. But what you can argue with
Speaker 1: and Dare I say you should argue with, is there's
Speaker 1: this nonsense that Brian Cox spouted here on the ABC
Speaker 1: all the way back in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 30: It's actually suggesting that by twenty twenty four, one point
Speaker 30: five degree increase is on the cards now well, which
Speaker 30: puts us very close to the critical.
Speaker 29: And that's a prediction of the models. But actually in
Speaker 29: the first the early months of twenty sixteen have already
Speaker 29: shown that, so we don't know how twenty sixteen is
Speaker 29: going to continue. This is now a clear global problem.
Speaker 29: The absolute, absolute consensus is that human action is leading
Speaker 29: to an increase in average temperatures. Absolute consensus. Can't I know,
Speaker 29: you may try to argue with that, but you can't.
Speaker 1: Yes, that was our stress all the way back in
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen with Brian Cox, who became a bit of
Speaker 1: a hero to Tony Jones. They're making all sorts of
Speaker 1: dire and grim predictions for twenty twenty four last year,
Speaker 1: none of which, to the best of my knowledge, ever eventuated.
Speaker 1: But the person he was arguing with and trying to
Speaker 1: convince was, of course, the devilishly handsome One Nation Senator
Speaker 1: Malcolm Roberts, who never played in any pop bands as
Speaker 1: far as I know, but was returned this week by
Speaker 1: Queenslanders to the Senate for another term. Malcolm Roberts remembers
Speaker 1: the encounter with Brian Cox very well.
Speaker 31: Within the first week or so of being in the Senate,
Speaker 31: the ABC invited me to onto its three flagship programs, Insiders,
Speaker 31: Late Line, and Q and A, trying to pressure me.
Speaker 31: Even they even brought out science communicator Brian Cox to
Speaker 31: open a Q and A program challenging my views. They
Speaker 31: promised to have all of the evidence. They brag about
Speaker 31: the mountains of money they have or the mountains of proof,
Speaker 31: yet if you ask to see it, they never actually show.
Speaker 1: It to you. In twenty twenty four, Malcolm Roberts released
Speaker 1: that video where he as he debunked each of Cox's
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen projections. Even the IPCC admits they're not predictions,
Speaker 1: just projections. A very different thing. Personally, having viewed the
Speaker 1: video Malcolm's video, I would take my advice from the
Speaker 1: climate skeptical Malcolm Roberts over the climate cultis Brian Cox
Speaker 1: any day of the week, and history would appear to.
Speaker 5: Bear that out.
Speaker 1: But I digressed from my clown show in Elizabethan music Halls,
Speaker 1: it was always acknowledged that Royalty were the greatest clowns
Speaker 1: of them all, and indeed King Charles appeared to have
Speaker 1: his jest A's hat on when he flew to Canada.
Speaker 1: This week to not only declare an acknowledgment of country
Speaker 1: and claim Canada is on unseeded land, but also to
Speaker 1: warn Canadians to curb their carbon footprint. Here he is
Speaker 1: King Charles paying close attention to his own carbon footprints. Unbelievable,
Speaker 1: not to be outdone the King's wayward Sun. How very Shakespearean. Indeed,
Speaker 1: Prince Harry flew all the way from Los Angeles to
Speaker 1: Shanghai to lecture the world about how to save the
Speaker 1: planet by not flying around the world. God save us
Speaker 1: from woke royal families. But the good news here, in
Speaker 1: the constitutional monarchy of Australia, we have two young princes
Speaker 1: locked in the tower of the Coalition party room, both
Speaker 1: equally capable of leading Australia out of its self inflicted
Speaker 1: net zero madness.
Speaker 25: They give us stuff too much about the global investors
Speaker 25: who want to rape and pillage our native bushland. Sure
Speaker 25: they want to make money, good luck to them. But
Speaker 25: I'm not on their side. I'm on the side of
Speaker 25: people who want to protect the native bushland of this country.
Speaker 25: That Moonlight range they were going to devastate with two
Speaker 25: hundred and eighty meters high wind turbines was an absolute
Speaker 25: environmental disgrace, and I'm sick and tired of no offense lender,
Speaker 25: but people who don't even come visit these areas saying
Speaker 25: that somehow this is a terrible thing. To stop these
Speaker 25: projects and protect our bush land. I've been there, I've
Speaker 25: spoken to the residents. They do not want this project,
Speaker 25: and I think those Australians deserve to have their voice
Speaker 25: heard wherever it is in Brisbane or Canberra, and not
Speaker 25: run over roughshod by international investors that the Labor Party
Speaker 25: seems unable to say no to.
Speaker 1: Do you think that policy should be reviewed? Your commitment
Speaker 1: to net zero B twenty fifty.
Speaker 26: The question of net zero again, that's a straight jacket
Speaker 26: that I'm already getting out of. The real question is
Speaker 26: should Australian families and businesses be paying more for their electricity?
Speaker 26: And should we allow this sort of hypocrisy at the
Speaker 26: heart of our economy to continue whereby we sell coalon
Speaker 26: gas to India and China and we deny it to
Speaker 26: our own people. That's the question that I think we
Speaker 26: need to answer. Nuclear should be part of our mix,
Speaker 26: but I think the first incremental step should be to
Speaker 26: remove the moratorium and if we remove the moratorium, then
Speaker 26: we should let capital markets do their work. And so
Speaker 26: if there is the potential for nuclear power in this country,
Speaker 26: we'll see people invest in that.
Speaker 1: Yes, there you have it. Senator Matt Canavan and Andrew Hasty,
Speaker 1: the two Conservative princes in the Canberra Tower who can
Speaker 1: lead Australia out of this clown show that we are
Speaker 1: currently floundering in. As Adam Crichton reports in the Nightly Quote,
Speaker 1: the government has presided over a cumulative three one hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy seven dollars increase in electricity costs since its
Speaker 1: commitment to cut bills by two hundred and seventy five dollars.
Speaker 1: But who is to blame? Why could it be this man? Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: everybody's favorite climate clown, Bobo Bo and got the month.
Speaker 1: She's midway through Catholic Mass this week. Here he was
Speaker 1: knocking back a bowl of yoki. Even the local pasta
Speaker 1: or should that be pasta was mortified. Here she is
Speaker 1: speaking to two GB's excellent Ben Fordham, who managed to,
Speaker 1: as it were, keep his breakfast show down.
Speaker 22: I was a eucharistic minister and I was giving Holy
Speaker 22: Communion at the time that Chris Bowen actually walked straight
Speaker 22: in front seat, started talking to the person next to
Speaker 22: him and eating pasta in front of me. I could
Speaker 22: not believe it, and James.
Speaker 1: Moro wrote a very funny article in The Daily Telegraph
Speaker 1: on Chris Bowen's pastor excursion. As I said on my
Speaker 1: Friday show, Chris now has Chris Boboboa now has a
Speaker 1: new motto. If you don't like my NYOCHI don't invite
Speaker 1: me to mass. Meanwhile, Albozo, disguised as the mad King
Speaker 1: of Yarralumla, sits in his lodge, convinced he is now
Speaker 1: and equal to the monarchs of the world, as he
Speaker 1: lectures close friends on how they have done wrong and
Speaker 1: how they should behave.
Speaker 19: I made it clear in a discussion that I had
Speaker 19: with the President of Israel, President Hertzog in Rome, just
Speaker 19: days ago. I made it very clear that Australia finds
Speaker 19: these actions as completely unacceptable.
Speaker 1: No, Prime Minister, what is completely unacceptable and completely lacking
Speaker 1: credibility are the actions of you and your government, especially
Speaker 1: your Foreign Minister Pennywong, who have as good as demonized
Speaker 1: the state of Israel and every opportunity since you came
Speaker 1: to power in twenty twenty two. The list of your
Speaker 1: gratuitously offensive and unacceptable insults are too many, and too lengthy,
Speaker 1: and too frequent to mention here. Suffice to say you
Speaker 1: are in no position to lecture anybody, let alone the
Speaker 1: State of Israel, about what is and what isn't acceptable behavior.
Speaker 1: Albozo trying to be an international statesman. I call that
Speaker 1: the king of wishful thinking. What would that other nineteen
Speaker 1: eighties one hit wonder band Go West have to say?
Speaker 1: Hyperbol extreme exaggeration. As you know, we have an intern
Speaker 1: locked in a cupboard who were forced to watch Insiders
Speaker 1: that the rest of the nation does not have to.
Speaker 1: That's how we know that. Chris Bowen was on Insiders
Speaker 1: this morning. Have a look.
Speaker 32: That's zero by twenty fifty was set out by the
Speaker 32: IPC as the minimum action required to avoid the catastrophic
Speaker 32: impacts of climate change. I mean, if you're not finixt zero,
Speaker 32: you're for the catastrophic impacts of climate change.
Speaker 1: Unbelievable, unbelievable Readson.
Speaker 8: Just genius argument.
Speaker 3: If you don't agree with this, absolutely insane, you want
Speaker 3: the weld.
Speaker 8: End, you want literally the world to end. That's his argument.
Speaker 3: It's the sort of argument you would get from a
Speaker 3: four year old child becoming a tantrum.
Speaker 6: Well, it's that unfalsifiable and it's in bad faith. I mean,
Speaker 6: this is you know, saying, oh, there's no discussion with
Speaker 6: our enemies or reporters because you know they interestingly want the.
Speaker 1: Word to burn. Exactly, it's medieval idiocy. A friend of
Speaker 1: mine just tweeted me, texted me that his double his
Speaker 1: electricity bills have doubled last this build to the next one.
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. So of course they have, Yeah, of course
Speaker 1: they had. Well, if you think the world is coming
Speaker 1: to an end, perhaps mister Bowen might explain to us.
Speaker 1: These headlines from The Guardian reata to two different headlines.
Speaker 1: One Spain's apocalyptic floods show two undeniable truths. The climate
Speaker 1: crisis is getting worse and big oil is killing us.
Speaker 1: That's the that's the floods. And then and then Spain
Speaker 1: and Portugal suffering driest climate for twelve hundred years. So
Speaker 1: which is it? Is it the floods of the driest.
Speaker 3: So you know, if you think the climate is catastrophic,
Speaker 3: just wait six to twelve months.
Speaker 1: And it will change. Again, Yeah, James, tell us about
Speaker 1: the Viking.
Speaker 6: We're telling you about the Vikings. Have I got a
Speaker 6: story for you about the Vikings. I watch you all,
Speaker 6: everybody out there in TV lated conjure up an image
Speaker 6: of what you think a Viking cutter looks like. As
Speaker 6: I tell you this story about a British outfit that
Speaker 6: develops curriculum materials for British school children in the failing
Speaker 6: state of Great Britain, they are now urging teachers to
Speaker 6: teach a less Eurocentric idea about the Vikings. They want
Speaker 6: to decolonize the curriculum, and they want to teach that
Speaker 6: Vikings weren't all white. In fact, they go to have
Speaker 6: been people of color. And in fact, this group says
Speaker 6: even that they should teach students that some Vikings converted
Speaker 6: to become practicing Muslims.
Speaker 5: Now, the question Rowan and.
Speaker 6: Rita I have about this, though, is if these Vikings,
Speaker 6: with their pillaging and their raping, became members of the
Speaker 6: religion of Peace, did they suddenly stop being Vikings and
Speaker 6: look back? Because, of course, you know, we all know,
Speaker 6: as George Bush famously said, it's the religion of Peace.
Speaker 1: Stuff for that exactly. Now, I also want to play
Speaker 1: this clip about someone being very upset by some ads.
Speaker 1: I think they're on trams in Melbourne, aren't they which
Speaker 1: have a white choice component to them.
Speaker 33: W word Imagine approving a very public out of home
Speaker 33: ad campaign and missing this white clothes nutrent add in
Speaker 33: Melbourne literally says make the white choice. And at first
Speaker 33: glance you might think, okay, we're freezing, but what's the
Speaker 33: issue here? Well, the phrase make the white choice echoes
Speaker 33: a long history of messaging where whiteness was positioned as superior,
Speaker 33: the right choice, the clean option, the default.
Speaker 1: Wow, what a.
Speaker 10: Genius, as she said, eh statement, But there's about one
Speaker 10: hundred of these all saying the same idiotic things.
Speaker 8: And you know what, if you've got time.
Speaker 3: To get or worked up over that, then count yourself lucky.
Speaker 8: That you're living in Australia. You're uniquely blessed and to be.
Speaker 1: That you can only see the view if you see
Speaker 1: a bit of white paper is start freaking out. Basically
Speaker 1: exactly how sad that young people. I don't blame the
Speaker 1: girl herself, it's her education. We're okay, blame it whatever,
Speaker 1: But the education of our young people at all, they
Speaker 1: can see everything through is this prism of now.
Speaker 8: What if you're so.
Speaker 3: In this country and that's what you choose to focus on,
Speaker 3: then you get blame anyway.
Speaker 1: Make sure that's it for us. But you'll see reader
Speaker 1: every night at eleven o'clock. You will see Friday Nights,
Speaker 1: that's the big one. You've got Rwandane at seven o'clock,
Speaker 1: you've got James Mora at eight o'clock, and you've got
Speaker 1: rid of Hanahe at nine o'clock.
Speaker 5: What a night.
Speaker 1: Friday Nights. That's the way to watch it. We'll see
Speaker 1: you next Sunday morning here on Outsiders. Bye Eg.
