WEBVTT - The Rita Panahi Show | 4 September 0:00:02.759 --> 0:00:07.200 On Scorne Lives Australia. This is the Wider Paney Show. 0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:10.960 Good evening and welcome to the Riata Panekey Show. We 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:14.360 have a superb program for you tonight. Douglas Murray joining 0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:19.600 me shortly, Dan Wilde on Queensland Premier Stephen Miles's latest misstep. 0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:23.480 Me Horowitz with the latest from the US, and Darren 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:26.920 Grimes with the headlines from the UK, including a teacher 0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:31.200 sent to jail for refusing to use preferred pronouns and 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:35.120 left his losing. It features a very confused leader of 0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:39.519 the Free World here Joe Biden claims the secret servers. 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:41.479 Won't let him go out in crowds anymore. 0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:43.960 Over one the crowd him before. 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:45.159 Let us want to keep a turn? 0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:48.640 Love? How those two games? 0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:49.639 How will you get to go out? 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:53.720 Where we are today? The Australian Bureau of Statistics release 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:56.920 its National Account starter for the June quarter, which showed 0:00:56.960 --> 0:01:00.000 that GDP grew by just zero point two. 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:01.360 Percent in that period. 0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:04.880 It doesn't paint a good picture for the Albanesi government. 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.679 Year on here, the GDP has slowed to just one percent, 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:13.640 marking the weakest annual growth since nineteen ninety one. Outside 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:18.480 of the COVID nineteen years GDP per capita has declined 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:23.039 for six consecutive quarters, shrinking by zero point four percent 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:26.399 in the June quarter and over one percent in the 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:30.280 past year. That indicates that the Australian economy has been 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:34.800 in a per capita recession for eighteen months. Joining me 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:38.360 now is Daniel Wilde, Deputy Director of the Institute of 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:43.800 Public Affairs. Dan, these figures are grim. Is there any 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:44.960 light on the horizon? 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:48.920 Well, unfortunately not reader. 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:53.880 The government's mass migration program is smashing living standards for 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:58.000 mainstream Australians. As you mentioned, six consecutive quarters of negative 0:01:58.440 --> 0:01:59.440 per capita growth. 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:00.320 That is the. 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.760 Longest decline on record, and those records go back to 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:07.040 the early nineteen seventies. So this economy is worse than 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:09.880 Whitlam's economy in terms of living standards. 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:12.040 And the reason for that is that the. 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:16.000 Entire economy is being propped up by this unplanned, unsustainable 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.640 mass migration program. If you bring more people into an economy, 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:21.200 the economy will get bigger. 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:23.160 But it's the slice of the pie that. 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.920 Everybody gets which is the relevant measure, and the slice 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:29.720 that Australians are getting is now shrinking quarter after quarter. 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.000 Seven of the nine quarters that this. 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.560 Government has been in office for we've had per capita 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.720 growth going backwards, and unfortunately there's little hope on the 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:42.040 horizon given that the government isn't looking to improve productivity. 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:45.880 It's all about migration, and that. 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:49.080 Per capita figure is really the most important one that 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.440 gives you a clear picture of what's happening, because, as 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:57.360 you said, you can influence these numbers by bringing in 0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:59.840 lots of people. So it looks like there is growth 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.560 when you break it down to per person, we're actually 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:07.280 gone backwards for eighteen months now. Survey by consulting giant 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:11.639 Ernstein Young of sixty Australian CEOs has found their need 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.760 to be green is not as strong as it used 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:18.480 to be. This is a little bit belated, but good 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:23.720 to see these business leaders are now prioritizing challenges like inflation, 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:30.040 geopolitical uncertainty and the likelihood of economic disruption over climate 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:34.480 change and environmental concerns. Those issues are now seen as 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:41.120 less immediate disruptors and were ranked the lowest priority. Dan 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.280 as I said, this is a little bit over due, 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:47.200 but good to see. 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.480 Good to see business is now focusing on business that 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.160 might help things a little bit. Look, this is all 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:56.320 a part of the fallout from the Voice to Parliament. 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.320 You know, business was Big business in particular was badly 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:03.400 burnt over supporting racial division in our constitution. Sixty percent 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:07.160 of Australians voted no, but almost every single major ASX 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:10.760 listed company in Australia supported the Voice to Parliament, including 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:14.040 funding it and beaming messages to customers that they have 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:17.000 to vote yes or their racist I think big business 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.400 in Australia are now starting to pull back from divisive 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:22.880 political issues, including in the cultural space, but also when 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:26.040 it comes to climate and environmental issues, that are instead 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:29.080 focusing or what appears to be focusing on issues that 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:32.000 matter to Australians, like the products and services they're offering 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:34.520 and the kind of employees they're going to hire. So look, 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:36.320 I hope that this is a positive step in the 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:39.400 right direction and that maybe, just maybe big business has 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.520 got the message to stop dividing Australians. 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:49.159 Exactly, focus on shareholder value, your key stakeholders, your staff, 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:55.880 your customers, and leave the politics the social engineering to others. Now, 0:04:56.000 --> 0:05:00.440 Queensland Premier Stephn Miles seems to be smiling through the 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:04.760 pain of knowing that he is headed for defeata. He 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:06.839 may pull a rabbit out of the hat. I'm not 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:11.000 calling it yet, but the polls aren't looking great for him. 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:16.200 But he's still posting this bizarre videos and getting up 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:20.839 to all sorts of weird promotions. This one, this video 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:33.200 is for a car registration pledge. Have a quick look, now, 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:37.160 that might work with a certain part of the ELECTROTA. 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:40.719 I don't know those age possibly fifteen to twenty five, 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:42.839 but I think everyone else will be looking at that 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:47.159 going what And the Premier is also under fire Dad 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:51.880 because he took a government jet from Harvey Bay to Bunderberg. 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:56.920 This is only seventy four kilometers and he went up 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.880 there to celebrate an MP's birthday and announce as. 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:06.680 Ors another. Surely a man who bleeds endlessly about. 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:10.880 Climate change can't justify taking a jet seven y odd killer. 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:15.000 Mesh or you wouldn't think so. I mean this very 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:19.520 much looks like the dying days of the government. And 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.640 you know, the hypocrisy is obvious, as you point out. 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:24.799 I don't think also, it just goes to the attitude 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.680 that the government there has to taxpayer funds we've seen 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:31.400 massive increases to taxes, particularly on the revenue and royalty 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:35.440 generating resources sector. They're shoveling money out the door faster 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:37.839 they can get it with the energy rebates or with 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:41.480 the heavily subsidized public transport. Now, you know, people might 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:42.880 like that in the short term, but at the end 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:44.800 of the day it's going to be Queensland taxpayers that 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:47.920 are going to pay the price. So look, I think 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.000 I agree. I'm not going to call it yet because 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:53.200 the LMP has had a small target strategy. They haven't 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.840 really taken any bold initiatives to the electorates, so it's 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.880 hard to tell exactly how the community are receiving that. 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:02.520 But this looks to be desperate and like I say, 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.000 it looks like the dying days of a very old government. 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:12.240 To Victoria and an anti lockdown protester has been cleared 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:16.360 of serious charges years after authorities targeted him for being 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:20.400 a political dissident. His charges stemmed from a large scale 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:24.280 protest in Melbourne where police alleged he assaulted them, but 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:28.200 footage showed him pushing away an officer's hand in self 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:33.000 defense as it was being pepper sprayed at point blank range. 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.280 The case dragged. 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:38.000 On for years, with multiple prosecutors refusing to take it 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:41.160 to trial. Now it's gone to trial, the case crumbled 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:45.480 Dan and the protester was awarded costs by the court 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:49.680 and only made to pay a minor fine for breaching 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:51.080 COVID restrictions. 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:53.559 But I do wonder if that's enough. 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:58.040 Should police be charged or at least investigated properly for 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.920 the violent response of this protest. Much of what we 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:05.800 saw I would describe as excessive force. 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.680 I agree there should be an investigation into the police 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.400 handling of COVID, and that's why we need a full 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:18.680 Royal commission into every single element of COVID, including the 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:20.200 state police response. 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:20.920 In Victoria. 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:24.440 The police were turned into Daniel Andrews's private army to 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:27.760 shut down descent, to shut down political communication. There was 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:31.240 a two tiered policing system, with the Black Lives Matter 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.240 protesters given the red carpet treatment, but if you were 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:37.680 voicing your opposition to what was happening, such as Zoe Buehler, 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:41.040 you were arrested for putting your opinion on social media. 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:44.560 This is why trust and confidence in the Victoria police 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:47.240 is now at a record low. They can't recruit people 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:50.959 because of the reputational damage. There needs to be a 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.400 clear out of the leadership of Victoria Police, not the 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:56.520 rank and file, not the frontline officers who mostly do 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:58.600 the right thing. But I think that they were compromised 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:03.160 by the the leadership of the police which became politicized 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:06.559 by the Daniel Andrews government, and that trust needs to 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:07.200 be restored. 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.800 It is really quite tragic that trust in police force 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:17.520 has really plummeted in this state and their conduct over 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:23.200 the COVID years explains why. Before you go, the entire 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.280 state executive of the New South Wales Liberal Party has 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:30.200 been sacked, including President Don Harwin, as the federal party 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:33.920 swoops in to clean up the mess. Say Federal executive 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:37.800 motion imposing intervention argued the New South Wales Libs executive 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:41.719 team was dysfunctional. I would have added a few more 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:45.880 descriptions there. The drastic action was prompted after more than 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:49.040 one hundred and forty candidates missed out on being enrolled 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:53.680 in local elections after the party missed the registration deadline. 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:55.920 Dan, I don't have long thirty seconds. 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.200 What do you think of this development and can we 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.800 please have some similar action here? 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:02.559 In Victoria. 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:08.600 Well, that's right. I think this had to happen. The 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:12.280 failure over the councils was inexcusable. I hope this leads 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:15.000 to broader reform of the New South Wales Liberals to 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:18.320 make them more open to pre selection and participation of 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:21.360 rank and file members, because not only is that important 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:23.520 for the Liberal Party, it's important for democracy to have 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:27.240 a functioning government and a functioning opposition. So not just 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:28.960 for this election, but let's hope this is a part 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.920 of a longer term reform of that particular division. 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:35.960 Dan Wilde, thank you for your time. 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:40.559 Joining me now, is best selling author of groundbreaking works, 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:43.920 including The War on the West. Douglas Murray Douglas. I'm 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.520 keen to get your thoughts on what is happening in Israel, 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.280 but let's start in the US. You wrote last week 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:52.679 in the New York Post about Kamala and Code deserving 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:56.320 an oscar, and she's really taking your advice on board. 0:10:56.320 --> 0:11:00.360 We've had different accents from Kamala before, but maybe the 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.520 first time we've had two in a single day. 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:08.720 Person in our nation has benefited from that work. You know, 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.720 everywhere I go, I tell people you may not be 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.920 a union member. But you better thank unions for that 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:16.080 five day work week. 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:20.200 You better thank a union member for sick leave. You 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:22.680 better thank a union member for paid leave. 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:28.680 You better thank a union member for vacation time. What 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:30.280 happened to authenticity? 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:35.640 Douglas Kamala in Pittsburgh sounds very different to Kamala in Detroit. 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:42.480 Yes, Kamala is following in some very noble footsteps here. 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:47.160 Of course, Hillary Clinton was a great purveyor of different 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:54.079 accents depending on the part of America she was in, Alexandria, Occasia, Cortes. 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:58.440 Of course, a congresswoman Democrat congresswoman is also a fine 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.439 one for if she's speaking to, for instance, a majority 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:06.400 Black church, she will go into a special register and 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.520 put on an entirely new voice. So Kamlo is doing 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:13.400 something that's trained and tested. But your rate reader, it 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:19.040 does not look authentic. It looks horribly pandering. It's just 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:22.160 another example of the fact that America is trying to 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:25.680 work out who this politician is and they're not really 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:26.559 getting an answer. 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:32.520 No, now you've written about some of the mad file 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:38.280 left Democrat policies being implemented in California, the Biden Harris 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:42.920 administration has had record numbers of illegal immigrants coming in 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:47.920 every year of their administration, literally millions, and the Democrats 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.760 refuse to take this sugar off the table. Indeed, they 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:55.360 seem to be adding more inducements, including benefits that are 0:12:55.400 --> 0:13:01.120 not available to citizens, like a taxpayer funded home loan program. 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:06.040 Tell me about this and what is the rationale behind it. 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:11.560 It's amazing the Democrats in California voted for and now 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:16.839 put before governor use them a proposal that illegal migrants 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:20.360 in California could be given up to one hundred and 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:24.319 fifty thousand dollars of taxpayer money to get them onto 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:28.600 the housing ladder. Now, this is the sort of madness 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:31.400 that really can only happen in California. But of course, 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:36.600 if Californian politicians keep on dominating in the US as 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.000 a whole, maybe we will see it rolled out elsewhere. 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:41.480 But I think it's. 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:46.480 Another example of crazy far left politics. And of course 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:48.880 it's the sort of thing which I don't know if, 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:52.160 for instance, everyone who had paid taxes and worked in 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:56.600 America was already happily on the housing ladder and there 0:13:56.679 --> 0:14:01.320 was no unhappiness in the world or in the country, 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.600 and everyone lived in exactly the house they wanted. I 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:07.400 suppose this is the sort of lunatic proposal that you 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:12.479 could come up with, but that isn't the case. Ordinary Americans, 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:17.000 working Americans are struggling to pay bills, to pay mortgages, 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:24.640 to catch up with the unbelievable consequences of inflation in 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:28.600 recent years. And now they're meant to also subsidize people 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:32.000 and give money to people through the tax system, to 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:36.040 people who've broken the most basic rule, which is. 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:37.680 That they've broken into the country. 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:41.760 And I just I mean, you know, you always expect 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:44.320 this lunacy is going to stop at some point, and 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:47.240 that it'll stop when you just run out of money. 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.240 But the thing is is that it seems that the 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:53.360 Democrats in California and perhaps wider a field in the 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:56.480 US don't think that they ever will run out of money. 0:14:56.800 --> 0:15:00.160 They think they'll never run out of the taxpayer's money. 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:02.640 We'll see if that. 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:08.680 California nomics actually works. I would suggest that it won't, 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:14.200 but it'll cause an unbelievable about amount of misery when 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:16.080 the rub actually hits the road. 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:22.160 Now to Israel, where there are tens of thousands protesting 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:26.120 demanding a Gaza ceasefire and the release of the remaining 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:30.280 hostages after six were executed by her mass, and the 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:34.920 pressure on Benjamin Ettanya, who is intensifying further Douglas with 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:38.320 President Joe Biden saying the Israeli. 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:40.280 Prime Minister is not doing enough. 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:43.920 To secure a hostage deal and cease fire, with her masses, 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:48.680 Israel's most important ally wavering in their support at this 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:50.160 most crucial time. 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:55.320 Well, you know, Joe Biden has spent recent weeks on 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:58.840 the beach, literally on the beach, away on the beach, 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:04.840 Doc Jill. And so when he says that Prime Minister 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:08.640 Natanya who isn't doing enough, I'd love to know exactly 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:12.000 what Joe Biden thinks his own work performance schedule has 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:15.720 been like of late. And it isn't a theoretical question 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:21.120 that one of the six hostages murdered by Hamaz in 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:25.320 the last week was an American citizen. And there used 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:27.320 to be a time reader, and you and I remember 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:32.200 it when an American citizen being killed in cold blood 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:36.640 by a terrorist group got the attention of the president 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:40.320 and indeed perhaps even the Vice president. But the President 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:42.880 is on the beach, the Vice president is on the 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:47.040 campaign trail, studiously avoiding having to answer any questions from 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:51.880 the media or indeed say anything of any substance. And this, 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:54.440 I think is a little glimpse into what happens in 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:59.560 the world when America is absent, and I think it's shameful, shameful, 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:04.880 and politicians should have ignored the American hostages for such 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:09.560 a long time, played political football with the Israeli hostages, 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:13.720 and now pretend that the Israeli government is the one 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:14.960 not doing enough. 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:15.960 You know, the. 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:20.040 Hostages are not in Benjamin Netanya who's basement. They're in 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:25.720 tunnels underneath Gaza, built by Hamaz with Western taxpayers money. 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:30.080 And Jamas are the people who stole these people from 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:33.440 their homes. Jamas are the people who have kept them 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:36.919 underground for almost a year now. Jamaz are the ones 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:40.920 that have started summarily executing the hostages. And it is 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:45.360 a sign of such pusilanimity as well as weakness that 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:49.199 President Biden should think at that point that the person 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:52.840 he should put pressure on is the Prime Minister of Israel. 0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:57.159 It's absolutely preposterous, a demonstration of weakness, because perhaps he 0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:02.320 knows that he has absolutely no say over Hamaz and again, 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:06.159 there was a time when American presidents actually did have 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:09.440 something to say about terrorist groups who murder their own 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:12.480 citizens and the citizens of their friends and allies. 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:19.520 Meanwhile, we've got the Labor government in Britain shocking Israel 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.679 and I think BRIT's alike by banning the sale of 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:27.520 certain weaponry, including jet and drone parts. Foreign Secretary David 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:31.480 Lammy stunned MPs with the decision set to stem from 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:34.199 and I quote you a pressure which Labor MPs have 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:38.240 found in their seats as a result of pro gas protests. 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:43.840 Douglas Labor really allowing the mad mobs in the streets 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:46.080 to set the nation's foreign policy. 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:48.120 Oh you bet? 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:51.679 I mean David Lammy and Kirs Starmer have shown double 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:55.600 and triple standards just in recent days alone. Last week, 0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:59.680 Kirs Starmer said that Britain would back Ukraine with giving 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:01.879 them more whatever was needed. That was the quote, whatever 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:06.800 was needed for Ukraine to prosecute its war against Russia 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:10.920 after the illegal invasion of Ukraine, at the same time 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:14.280 as saying that they will give Ukraine whatever they need. 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:15.960 And by the way, Britain is not going to give 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:19.119 Ukraine and everything it needs Britain can't give Ukraine everything 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:19.600 it needs. 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:21.639 But that's what he says. 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:25.679 Meantime, he's not even willing to sell the Israelis the 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:29.280 things that they need to prosecute their war against Hamaz. 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:33.919 And that is for one reason alone. There is no 0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:38.760 sort of pro Russian basis in the Labor Party that 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:42.480 just would love to defend Russia. But there is a 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:47.760 base within the Labor Party now, sadly, of people who 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:52.920 think that you should just allow Hamaz to win, allow 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:57.119 the Palestinian extremists to win, and for Israel to lose 0:19:57.320 --> 0:20:01.240 in this conflict. And you know what David Lammy is done. 0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:05.480 It is not just unbelievably treacherous to an ally. As 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:08.200 the Speaker of the Knesset in Israel said a couple 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:14.000 of days ago, citing Churchill's famous criticism of Chamberlain, Britain 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:17.119 had a choice between war and dishonor, and it chose 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:24.320 dishonour this week. But you know, this arms sale change, this, 0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:30.439 this this partial boycott by the British will have no 0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:33.199 meaningful impact on the war, but it will have a 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:39.160 meaningful impact on Britain. Britain relies very considerably in much 0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:43.919 of its arms and security apparatus on Israeli intelligence and 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:47.639 Israeli technology. I wonder, and I hope that they don't, 0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:50.240 but I wonder if his Israeli's would the Israelis would 0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:52.919 like to play this game back at David Lammy, he 0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:56.760 will see in the coming days that his cowardly little 0:20:56.800 --> 0:21:02.000 move appeasing this nasty, little bigoted rump within his party 0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:06.080 will please absolutely nobody, because you know what, Rita, the 0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:09.359 Hamaz wing of the Labor Party are not going to 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:12.480 be content with a little bit of boycott of Israel. 0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:15.280 They want a total boycott of Israel because they want 0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:19.720 the destruction of Israel. Well, David Lammy will again quote 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:23.480 a famous line about appeasement be feeding the crocodile in 0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:25.240 the hope that it will eat him last. 0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:32.320 But it won't, beautifully said. And yeah, Churchill had it right, 0:21:32.400 --> 0:21:36.959 although those years ago, and decision is certainly causing a 0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:41.280 diplomatic row with Benjamin Nettina, who he's called it shameful 0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:44.320 and said it's going to embolden her mass And I 0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:46.160 think you're right. I think he is going to put 0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:50.600 at risk that relationship where Israel provides so much support 0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:56.120 and intelligence about attacks that may be being planned on 0:21:56.400 --> 0:22:00.440 UK soil. So it just seems to be a honkers 0:22:00.560 --> 0:22:03.919 move anyway, you look at it before you go. We 0:22:04.040 --> 0:22:07.679 know the labor and piece of their priorities right these days. 0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:11.399 Have a look at this clip of Secretary of State 0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:16.359 for Culture, Media and Sport Lisa Nandy talking about doing 0:22:16.520 --> 0:22:21.359 something about the high prices of Oasis tickets. I wish 0:22:21.359 --> 0:22:22.040 I was joking. 0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:27.680 I don't know what conversations Oasis had about about ticket pricing, 0:22:27.760 --> 0:22:30.159 but I do know that it's deeply depressing to have 0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:33.399 had this incredible moment where so many people, especially in 0:22:33.440 --> 0:22:36.800 my age, were incredibly excited that this event of a 0:22:36.800 --> 0:22:40.840 lifetime that they thought may never happen was happening, only 0:22:40.920 --> 0:22:43.360 to find that they had to queue for hours in 0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:45.560 a queue, and for many of them to find that 0:22:45.600 --> 0:22:47.159 when they got to the front of that queue they 0:22:47.160 --> 0:22:50.479 couldn't actually afford the tickets that were on offer. We 0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:53.440 think as a government that there's an overhaul needed of 0:22:53.480 --> 0:22:56.200 the regulations around ticketing. 0:22:57.800 --> 0:23:00.440 I mean, there's all sorts of issues in that country, 0:23:00.520 --> 0:23:05.200 cost of living, energy crisis, knife crime, I could go on, 0:23:06.119 --> 0:23:12.440 but they're focusing on dynamic pricing for Oasis tickets, Douglas, 0:23:12.480 --> 0:23:13.560 what's your response to that. 0:23:14.640 --> 0:23:17.480 I mean, everything else in Britain is clearly hunky dory. 0:23:17.720 --> 0:23:21.359 If a minister can focus on the length of time 0:23:21.440 --> 0:23:23.879 people have to queue and the fact that some people 0:23:23.880 --> 0:23:27.399 at the end of a queue feel sad, of course, 0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:31.040 only something like Lis and Andy would think that government 0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:34.640 needs to step in. Nobody in Britain will be free 0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:37.680 until we all have the right to not queue for 0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:40.240 any time at all and buy cheap tickets to Oasis 0:23:40.240 --> 0:23:43.040 reunion concepts. I think you and I can agree on that, Reta. 0:23:43.160 --> 0:23:46.240 It's a fundamental issue of human rights. We should all 0:23:46.280 --> 0:23:48.359 have everything we want as soon as we want it, 0:23:48.720 --> 0:23:51.280 and if we don't, then we need government to step in. 0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:54.880 Because the government, particularly labor government, has proved so superb 0:23:54.880 --> 0:23:57.639 at dealing with all problems, so they should definitely step 0:23:57.680 --> 0:24:00.880 into the realm of policing queue in the same way 0:24:00.880 --> 0:24:03.199 they please our opinions, what we can say online, what 0:24:03.240 --> 0:24:06.399 we can retweet. I think the next step is obviously 0:24:06.560 --> 0:24:12.080 tackling the great injustice of Oasis ticketing, and I'm delighted 0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:15.679 myself A Lisa Andy has decided to step in, and 0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:19.080 I'm sure she'll make a really meaningful difference, and in time, 0:24:19.160 --> 0:24:21.760 she can also make sure that any concert tickets I want, 0:24:22.280 --> 0:24:24.680 I don't think you want to hear Oasis, But any 0:24:24.720 --> 0:24:27.280 tickets I want, I think I can get them straight away, 0:24:27.400 --> 0:24:29.920 very cheaply, And I expect the Culture Secretary to really 0:24:29.960 --> 0:24:33.360 step in and help me in that noble endeavor. 0:24:35.240 --> 0:24:38.560 And I also don't like queuing up either or waiting onlines. 0:24:38.600 --> 0:24:41.119
