Speaker 1: On Scorne Lives Australia. This is the Wider Paney Show.
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Riata Panekey Show. We
Speaker 2: have a superb program for you tonight. Douglas Murray joining
Speaker 2: me shortly, Dan Wilde on Queensland Premier Stephen Miles's latest misstep.
Speaker 2: Me Horowitz with the latest from the US, and Darren
Speaker 2: Grimes with the headlines from the UK, including a teacher
Speaker 2: sent to jail for refusing to use preferred pronouns and
Speaker 2: left his losing. It features a very confused leader of
Speaker 2: the Free World here Joe Biden claims the secret servers.
Speaker 3: Won't let him go out in crowds anymore.
Speaker 4: Over one the crowd him before.
Speaker 5: Let us want to keep a turn?
Speaker 6: Love? How those two games?
Speaker 4: How will you get to go out?
Speaker 2: Where we are today? The Australian Bureau of Statistics release
Speaker 2: its National Account starter for the June quarter, which showed
Speaker 2: that GDP grew by just zero point two.
Speaker 3: Percent in that period.
Speaker 2: It doesn't paint a good picture for the Albanesi government.
Speaker 2: Year on here, the GDP has slowed to just one percent,
Speaker 2: marking the weakest annual growth since nineteen ninety one. Outside
Speaker 2: of the COVID nineteen years GDP per capita has declined
Speaker 2: for six consecutive quarters, shrinking by zero point four percent
Speaker 2: in the June quarter and over one percent in the
Speaker 2: past year. That indicates that the Australian economy has been
Speaker 2: in a per capita recession for eighteen months. Joining me
Speaker 2: now is Daniel Wilde, Deputy Director of the Institute of
Speaker 2: Public Affairs. Dan, these figures are grim. Is there any
Speaker 2: light on the horizon?
Speaker 6: Well, unfortunately not reader.
Speaker 7: The government's mass migration program is smashing living standards for
Speaker 7: mainstream Australians. As you mentioned, six consecutive quarters of negative
Speaker 7: per capita growth.
Speaker 6: That is the.
Speaker 7: Longest decline on record, and those records go back to
Speaker 7: the early nineteen seventies. So this economy is worse than
Speaker 7: Whitlam's economy in terms of living standards.
Speaker 6: And the reason for that is that the.
Speaker 7: Entire economy is being propped up by this unplanned, unsustainable
Speaker 7: mass migration program. If you bring more people into an economy,
Speaker 7: the economy will get bigger.
Speaker 6: But it's the slice of the pie that.
Speaker 7: Everybody gets which is the relevant measure, and the slice
Speaker 7: that Australians are getting is now shrinking quarter after quarter.
Speaker 6: Seven of the nine quarters that this.
Speaker 7: Government has been in office for we've had per capita
Speaker 7: growth going backwards, and unfortunately there's little hope on the
Speaker 7: horizon given that the government isn't looking to improve productivity.
Speaker 6: It's all about migration, and that.
Speaker 2: Per capita figure is really the most important one that
Speaker 2: gives you a clear picture of what's happening, because, as
Speaker 2: you said, you can influence these numbers by bringing in
Speaker 2: lots of people. So it looks like there is growth
Speaker 2: when you break it down to per person, we're actually
Speaker 2: gone backwards for eighteen months now. Survey by consulting giant
Speaker 2: Ernstein Young of sixty Australian CEOs has found their need
Speaker 2: to be green is not as strong as it used
Speaker 2: to be. This is a little bit belated, but good
Speaker 2: to see these business leaders are now prioritizing challenges like inflation,
Speaker 2: geopolitical uncertainty and the likelihood of economic disruption over climate
Speaker 2: change and environmental concerns. Those issues are now seen as
Speaker 2: less immediate disruptors and were ranked the lowest priority. Dan
Speaker 2: as I said, this is a little bit over due,
Speaker 2: but good to see.
Speaker 7: Good to see business is now focusing on business that
Speaker 7: might help things a little bit. Look, this is all
Speaker 7: a part of the fallout from the Voice to Parliament.
Speaker 7: You know, business was Big business in particular was badly
Speaker 7: burnt over supporting racial division in our constitution. Sixty percent
Speaker 7: of Australians voted no, but almost every single major ASX
Speaker 7: listed company in Australia supported the Voice to Parliament, including
Speaker 7: funding it and beaming messages to customers that they have
Speaker 7: to vote yes or their racist I think big business
Speaker 7: in Australia are now starting to pull back from divisive
Speaker 7: political issues, including in the cultural space, but also when
Speaker 7: it comes to climate and environmental issues, that are instead
Speaker 7: focusing or what appears to be focusing on issues that
Speaker 7: matter to Australians, like the products and services they're offering
Speaker 7: and the kind of employees they're going to hire. So look,
Speaker 7: I hope that this is a positive step in the
Speaker 7: right direction and that maybe, just maybe big business has
Speaker 7: got the message to stop dividing Australians.
Speaker 2: Exactly, focus on shareholder value, your key stakeholders, your staff,
Speaker 2: your customers, and leave the politics the social engineering to others. Now,
Speaker 2: Queensland Premier Stephn Miles seems to be smiling through the
Speaker 2: pain of knowing that he is headed for defeata. He
Speaker 2: may pull a rabbit out of the hat. I'm not
Speaker 2: calling it yet, but the polls aren't looking great for him.
Speaker 2: But he's still posting this bizarre videos and getting up
Speaker 2: to all sorts of weird promotions. This one, this video
Speaker 2: is for a car registration pledge. Have a quick look, now,
Speaker 2: that might work with a certain part of the ELECTROTA.
Speaker 2: I don't know those age possibly fifteen to twenty five,
Speaker 2: but I think everyone else will be looking at that
Speaker 2: going what And the Premier is also under fire Dad
Speaker 2: because he took a government jet from Harvey Bay to Bunderberg.
Speaker 2: This is only seventy four kilometers and he went up
Speaker 2: there to celebrate an MP's birthday and announce as.
Speaker 3: Ors another. Surely a man who bleeds endlessly about.
Speaker 2: Climate change can't justify taking a jet seven y odd killer.
Speaker 7: Mesh or you wouldn't think so. I mean this very
Speaker 7: much looks like the dying days of the government. And
Speaker 7: you know, the hypocrisy is obvious, as you point out.
Speaker 7: I don't think also, it just goes to the attitude
Speaker 7: that the government there has to taxpayer funds we've seen
Speaker 7: massive increases to taxes, particularly on the revenue and royalty
Speaker 7: generating resources sector. They're shoveling money out the door faster
Speaker 7: they can get it with the energy rebates or with
Speaker 7: the heavily subsidized public transport. Now, you know, people might
Speaker 7: like that in the short term, but at the end
Speaker 7: of the day it's going to be Queensland taxpayers that
Speaker 7: are going to pay the price. So look, I think
Speaker 7: I agree. I'm not going to call it yet because
Speaker 7: the LMP has had a small target strategy. They haven't
Speaker 7: really taken any bold initiatives to the electorates, so it's
Speaker 7: hard to tell exactly how the community are receiving that.
Speaker 7: But this looks to be desperate and like I say,
Speaker 7: it looks like the dying days of a very old government.
Speaker 2: To Victoria and an anti lockdown protester has been cleared
Speaker 2: of serious charges years after authorities targeted him for being
Speaker 2: a political dissident. His charges stemmed from a large scale
Speaker 2: protest in Melbourne where police alleged he assaulted them, but
Speaker 2: footage showed him pushing away an officer's hand in self
Speaker 2: defense as it was being pepper sprayed at point blank range.
Speaker 3: The case dragged.
Speaker 2: On for years, with multiple prosecutors refusing to take it
Speaker 2: to trial. Now it's gone to trial, the case crumbled
Speaker 2: Dan and the protester was awarded costs by the court
Speaker 2: and only made to pay a minor fine for breaching
Speaker 2: COVID restrictions.
Speaker 3: But I do wonder if that's enough.
Speaker 2: Should police be charged or at least investigated properly for
Speaker 2: the violent response of this protest. Much of what we
Speaker 2: saw I would describe as excessive force.
Speaker 7: I agree there should be an investigation into the police
Speaker 7: handling of COVID, and that's why we need a full
Speaker 7: Royal commission into every single element of COVID, including the
Speaker 7: state police response.
Speaker 6: In Victoria.
Speaker 7: The police were turned into Daniel Andrews's private army to
Speaker 7: shut down descent, to shut down political communication. There was
Speaker 7: a two tiered policing system, with the Black Lives Matter
Speaker 7: protesters given the red carpet treatment, but if you were
Speaker 7: voicing your opposition to what was happening, such as Zoe Buehler,
Speaker 7: you were arrested for putting your opinion on social media.
Speaker 7: This is why trust and confidence in the Victoria police
Speaker 7: is now at a record low. They can't recruit people
Speaker 7: because of the reputational damage. There needs to be a
Speaker 7: clear out of the leadership of Victoria Police, not the
Speaker 7: rank and file, not the frontline officers who mostly do
Speaker 7: the right thing. But I think that they were compromised
Speaker 7: by the the leadership of the police which became politicized
Speaker 7: by the Daniel Andrews government, and that trust needs to
Speaker 7: be restored.
Speaker 2: It is really quite tragic that trust in police force
Speaker 2: has really plummeted in this state and their conduct over
Speaker 2: the COVID years explains why. Before you go, the entire
Speaker 2: state executive of the New South Wales Liberal Party has
Speaker 2: been sacked, including President Don Harwin, as the federal party
Speaker 2: swoops in to clean up the mess. Say Federal executive
Speaker 2: motion imposing intervention argued the New South Wales Libs executive
Speaker 2: team was dysfunctional. I would have added a few more
Speaker 2: descriptions there. The drastic action was prompted after more than
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty candidates missed out on being enrolled
Speaker 2: in local elections after the party missed the registration deadline.
Speaker 3: Dan, I don't have long thirty seconds.
Speaker 2: What do you think of this development and can we
Speaker 2: please have some similar action here?
Speaker 3: In Victoria.
Speaker 7: Well, that's right. I think this had to happen. The
Speaker 7: failure over the councils was inexcusable. I hope this leads
Speaker 7: to broader reform of the New South Wales Liberals to
Speaker 7: make them more open to pre selection and participation of
Speaker 7: rank and file members, because not only is that important
Speaker 7: for the Liberal Party, it's important for democracy to have
Speaker 7: a functioning government and a functioning opposition. So not just
Speaker 7: for this election, but let's hope this is a part
Speaker 7: of a longer term reform of that particular division.
Speaker 3: Dan Wilde, thank you for your time.
Speaker 2: Joining me now, is best selling author of groundbreaking works,
Speaker 2: including The War on the West. Douglas Murray Douglas. I'm
Speaker 2: keen to get your thoughts on what is happening in Israel,
Speaker 2: but let's start in the US. You wrote last week
Speaker 2: in the New York Post about Kamala and Code deserving
Speaker 2: an oscar, and she's really taking your advice on board.
Speaker 2: We've had different accents from Kamala before, but maybe the
Speaker 2: first time we've had two in a single day.
Speaker 4: Person in our nation has benefited from that work. You know,
Speaker 4: everywhere I go, I tell people you may not be
Speaker 4: a union member. But you better thank unions for that
Speaker 4: five day work week.
Speaker 8: You better thank a union member for sick leave. You
Speaker 8: better thank a union member for paid leave.
Speaker 3: You better thank a union member for vacation time. What
Speaker 3: happened to authenticity?
Speaker 2: Douglas Kamala in Pittsburgh sounds very different to Kamala in Detroit.
Speaker 9: Yes, Kamala is following in some very noble footsteps here.
Speaker 9: Of course, Hillary Clinton was a great purveyor of different
Speaker 9: accents depending on the part of America she was in, Alexandria, Occasia, Cortes.
Speaker 9: Of course, a congresswoman Democrat congresswoman is also a fine
Speaker 9: one for if she's speaking to, for instance, a majority
Speaker 9: Black church, she will go into a special register and
Speaker 9: put on an entirely new voice. So Kamlo is doing
Speaker 9: something that's trained and tested. But your rate reader, it
Speaker 9: does not look authentic. It looks horribly pandering. It's just
Speaker 9: another example of the fact that America is trying to
Speaker 9: work out who this politician is and they're not really
Speaker 9: getting an answer.
Speaker 2: No, now you've written about some of the mad file
Speaker 2: left Democrat policies being implemented in California, the Biden Harris
Speaker 2: administration has had record numbers of illegal immigrants coming in
Speaker 2: every year of their administration, literally millions, and the Democrats
Speaker 2: refuse to take this sugar off the table. Indeed, they
Speaker 2: seem to be adding more inducements, including benefits that are
Speaker 2: not available to citizens, like a taxpayer funded home loan program.
Speaker 2: Tell me about this and what is the rationale behind it.
Speaker 9: It's amazing the Democrats in California voted for and now
Speaker 9: put before governor use them a proposal that illegal migrants
Speaker 9: in California could be given up to one hundred and
Speaker 9: fifty thousand dollars of taxpayer money to get them onto
Speaker 9: the housing ladder. Now, this is the sort of madness
Speaker 9: that really can only happen in California. But of course,
Speaker 9: if Californian politicians keep on dominating in the US as
Speaker 9: a whole, maybe we will see it rolled out elsewhere.
Speaker 3: But I think it's.
Speaker 9: Another example of crazy far left politics. And of course
Speaker 9: it's the sort of thing which I don't know if,
Speaker 9: for instance, everyone who had paid taxes and worked in
Speaker 9: America was already happily on the housing ladder and there
Speaker 9: was no unhappiness in the world or in the country,
Speaker 9: and everyone lived in exactly the house they wanted. I
Speaker 9: suppose this is the sort of lunatic proposal that you
Speaker 9: could come up with, but that isn't the case. Ordinary Americans,
Speaker 9: working Americans are struggling to pay bills, to pay mortgages,
Speaker 9: to catch up with the unbelievable consequences of inflation in
Speaker 9: recent years. And now they're meant to also subsidize people
Speaker 9: and give money to people through the tax system, to
Speaker 9: people who've broken the most basic rule, which is.
Speaker 1: That they've broken into the country.
Speaker 9: And I just I mean, you know, you always expect
Speaker 9: this lunacy is going to stop at some point, and
Speaker 9: that it'll stop when you just run out of money.
Speaker 9: But the thing is is that it seems that the
Speaker 9: Democrats in California and perhaps wider a field in the
Speaker 9: US don't think that they ever will run out of money.
Speaker 9: They think they'll never run out of the taxpayer's money.
Speaker 10: We'll see if that.
Speaker 9: California nomics actually works. I would suggest that it won't,
Speaker 9: but it'll cause an unbelievable about amount of misery when
Speaker 9: the rub actually hits the road.
Speaker 2: Now to Israel, where there are tens of thousands protesting
Speaker 2: demanding a Gaza ceasefire and the release of the remaining
Speaker 2: hostages after six were executed by her mass, and the
Speaker 2: pressure on Benjamin Ettanya, who is intensifying further Douglas with
Speaker 2: President Joe Biden saying the Israeli.
Speaker 3: Prime Minister is not doing enough.
Speaker 2: To secure a hostage deal and cease fire, with her masses,
Speaker 2: Israel's most important ally wavering in their support at this
Speaker 2: most crucial time.
Speaker 9: Well, you know, Joe Biden has spent recent weeks on
Speaker 9: the beach, literally on the beach, away on the beach,
Speaker 9: Doc Jill. And so when he says that Prime Minister
Speaker 9: Natanya who isn't doing enough, I'd love to know exactly
Speaker 9: what Joe Biden thinks his own work performance schedule has
Speaker 9: been like of late. And it isn't a theoretical question
Speaker 9: that one of the six hostages murdered by Hamaz in
Speaker 9: the last week was an American citizen. And there used
Speaker 9: to be a time reader, and you and I remember
Speaker 9: it when an American citizen being killed in cold blood
Speaker 9: by a terrorist group got the attention of the president
Speaker 9: and indeed perhaps even the Vice president. But the President
Speaker 9: is on the beach, the Vice president is on the
Speaker 9: campaign trail, studiously avoiding having to answer any questions from
Speaker 9: the media or indeed say anything of any substance. And this,
Speaker 9: I think is a little glimpse into what happens in
Speaker 9: the world when America is absent, and I think it's shameful, shameful,
Speaker 9: and politicians should have ignored the American hostages for such
Speaker 9: a long time, played political football with the Israeli hostages,
Speaker 9: and now pretend that the Israeli government is the one
Speaker 9: not doing enough.
Speaker 1: You know, the.
Speaker 9: Hostages are not in Benjamin Netanya who's basement. They're in
Speaker 9: tunnels underneath Gaza, built by Hamaz with Western taxpayers money.
Speaker 9: And Jamas are the people who stole these people from
Speaker 9: their homes. Jamas are the people who have kept them
Speaker 9: underground for almost a year now. Jamaz are the ones
Speaker 9: that have started summarily executing the hostages. And it is
Speaker 9: a sign of such pusilanimity as well as weakness that
Speaker 9: President Biden should think at that point that the person
Speaker 9: he should put pressure on is the Prime Minister of Israel.
Speaker 9: It's absolutely preposterous, a demonstration of weakness, because perhaps he
Speaker 9: knows that he has absolutely no say over Hamaz and again,
Speaker 9: there was a time when American presidents actually did have
Speaker 9: something to say about terrorist groups who murder their own
Speaker 9: citizens and the citizens of their friends and allies.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, we've got the Labor government in Britain shocking Israel
Speaker 2: and I think BRIT's alike by banning the sale of
Speaker 2: certain weaponry, including jet and drone parts. Foreign Secretary David
Speaker 2: Lammy stunned MPs with the decision set to stem from
Speaker 2: and I quote you a pressure which Labor MPs have
Speaker 2: found in their seats as a result of pro gas protests.
Speaker 2: Douglas Labor really allowing the mad mobs in the streets
Speaker 2: to set the nation's foreign policy.
Speaker 1: Oh you bet?
Speaker 9: I mean David Lammy and Kirs Starmer have shown double
Speaker 9: and triple standards just in recent days alone. Last week,
Speaker 9: Kirs Starmer said that Britain would back Ukraine with giving
Speaker 9: them more whatever was needed. That was the quote, whatever
Speaker 9: was needed for Ukraine to prosecute its war against Russia
Speaker 9: after the illegal invasion of Ukraine, at the same time
Speaker 9: as saying that they will give Ukraine whatever they need.
Speaker 9: And by the way, Britain is not going to give
Speaker 9: Ukraine and everything it needs Britain can't give Ukraine everything
Speaker 9: it needs.
Speaker 1: But that's what he says.
Speaker 9: Meantime, he's not even willing to sell the Israelis the
Speaker 9: things that they need to prosecute their war against Hamaz.
Speaker 9: And that is for one reason alone. There is no
Speaker 9: sort of pro Russian basis in the Labor Party that
Speaker 9: just would love to defend Russia. But there is a
Speaker 9: base within the Labor Party now, sadly, of people who
Speaker 9: think that you should just allow Hamaz to win, allow
Speaker 9: the Palestinian extremists to win, and for Israel to lose
Speaker 9: in this conflict. And you know what David Lammy is done.
Speaker 9: It is not just unbelievably treacherous to an ally. As
Speaker 9: the Speaker of the Knesset in Israel said a couple
Speaker 9: of days ago, citing Churchill's famous criticism of Chamberlain, Britain
Speaker 9: had a choice between war and dishonor, and it chose
Speaker 9: dishonour this week. But you know, this arms sale change, this,
Speaker 9: this this partial boycott by the British will have no
Speaker 9: meaningful impact on the war, but it will have a
Speaker 9: meaningful impact on Britain. Britain relies very considerably in much
Speaker 9: of its arms and security apparatus on Israeli intelligence and
Speaker 9: Israeli technology. I wonder, and I hope that they don't,
Speaker 9: but I wonder if his Israeli's would the Israelis would
Speaker 9: like to play this game back at David Lammy, he
Speaker 9: will see in the coming days that his cowardly little
Speaker 9: move appeasing this nasty, little bigoted rump within his party
Speaker 9: will please absolutely nobody, because you know what, Rita, the
Speaker 9: Hamaz wing of the Labor Party are not going to
Speaker 9: be content with a little bit of boycott of Israel.
Speaker 9: They want a total boycott of Israel because they want
Speaker 9: the destruction of Israel. Well, David Lammy will again quote
Speaker 9: a famous line about appeasement be feeding the crocodile in
Speaker 9: the hope that it will eat him last.
Speaker 2: But it won't, beautifully said. And yeah, Churchill had it right,
Speaker 2: although those years ago, and decision is certainly causing a
Speaker 2: diplomatic row with Benjamin Nettina, who he's called it shameful
Speaker 2: and said it's going to embolden her mass And I
Speaker 2: think you're right. I think he is going to put
Speaker 2: at risk that relationship where Israel provides so much support
Speaker 2: and intelligence about attacks that may be being planned on
Speaker 2: UK soil. So it just seems to be a honkers
Speaker 2: move anyway, you look at it before you go. We
Speaker 2: know the labor and piece of their priorities right these days.
Speaker 2: Have a look at this clip of Secretary of State
Speaker 2: for Culture, Media and Sport Lisa Nandy talking about doing
Speaker 2: something about the high prices of Oasis tickets. I wish
Speaker 2: I was joking.
Speaker 11: I don't know what conversations Oasis had about about ticket pricing,
Speaker 11: but I do know that it's deeply depressing to have
Speaker 11: had this incredible moment where so many people, especially in
Speaker 11: my age, were incredibly excited that this event of a
Speaker 11: lifetime that they thought may never happen was happening, only
Speaker 11: to find that they had to queue for hours in
Speaker 11: a queue, and for many of them to find that
Speaker 11: when they got to the front of that queue they
Speaker 11: couldn't actually afford the tickets that were on offer. We
Speaker 11: think as a government that there's an overhaul needed of
Speaker 11: the regulations around ticketing.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's all sorts of issues in that country,
Speaker 2: cost of living, energy crisis, knife crime, I could go on,
Speaker 2: but they're focusing on dynamic pricing for Oasis tickets, Douglas,
Speaker 2: what's your response to that.
Speaker 9: I mean, everything else in Britain is clearly hunky dory.
Speaker 9: If a minister can focus on the length of time
Speaker 9: people have to queue and the fact that some people
Speaker 9: at the end of a queue feel sad, of course,
Speaker 9: only something like Lis and Andy would think that government
Speaker 9: needs to step in. Nobody in Britain will be free
Speaker 9: until we all have the right to not queue for
Speaker 9: any time at all and buy cheap tickets to Oasis
Speaker 9: reunion concepts. I think you and I can agree on that, Reta.
Speaker 9: It's a fundamental issue of human rights. We should all
Speaker 9: have everything we want as soon as we want it,
Speaker 9: and if we don't, then we need government to step in.
Speaker 9: Because the government, particularly labor government, has proved so superb
Speaker 9: at dealing with all problems, so they should definitely step
Speaker 9: into the realm of policing queue in the same way
Speaker 9: they please our opinions, what we can say online, what
Speaker 9: we can retweet. I think the next step is obviously
Speaker 9: tackling the great injustice of Oasis ticketing, and I'm delighted
Speaker 9: myself A Lisa Andy has decided to step in, and
Speaker 9: I'm sure she'll make a really meaningful difference, and in time,
Speaker 9: she can also make sure that any concert tickets I want,
Speaker 9: I don't think you want to hear Oasis, But any
Speaker 9: tickets I want, I think I can get them straight away,
Speaker 9: very cheaply, And I expect the Culture Secretary to really
Speaker 9: step in and help me in that noble endeavor.
Speaker 2: And I also don't like queuing up either or waiting onlines.
Speaker 2: I would hope she would do something about that. Maybe
Speaker 2: a ticket seller per customer. That way we can just
Speaker 2: walk right up to the window, no lines. Maybe Lim
Speaker 2: and Noel Gallagher could be arrested. I don't think everyone
Speaker 2: else is being arrested in the UK. I don't see
Speaker 2: why those two should be exempt. Douglas Marray, thank you
Speaker 2: so much for your time this evening.
Speaker 3: Thank you still to come.
Speaker 2: Lefties losing it and migrant crime rates have become even
Speaker 2: worse in New York City. You won't believe the alarming
Speaker 2: new data. Army Horowetz joins me. Next, welcome back. Now
Speaker 2: it's time for lefties losing ed, and we.
Speaker 3: Better check in with the Leader of the Free World, who.
Speaker 2: Apparently is not allowed in crowds anymore because it's dangerous.
Speaker 2: Watch this remarkable exchange.
Speaker 10: The crowd him before.
Speaker 6: Let us want to keep the turn London, Gamins, No
Speaker 6: one gets to go out?
Speaker 3: Are no one gets to go out? It's too dangerous.
Speaker 2: Are they terrified that he'll I don't know, encounter some stairs.
Speaker 2: And let's talk about the pro Palestinian, anti Israel, anti
Speaker 2: West misfits. They're stepping up their ugly act. They won't
Speaker 2: let the brutal murder of hostages stop their campaign.
Speaker 3: Here they damage a building in London and admit.
Speaker 2: The quiet bit out loud that this is all about decolonialism.
Speaker 2: Oh that drop ho now not design?
Speaker 12: And if you get up one message to the Palestinians
Speaker 12: and gods or watching this action, what would it be?
Speaker 10: Hello the Palestinian, well with you?
Speaker 2: This is a decolonial struggle from the global celth to
Speaker 2: London to Palestine.
Speaker 6: We're with you.
Speaker 2: Did you see the dude inside the building? Give these
Speaker 2: the lovely lasses the finger. I'm sure defacing a building
Speaker 2: in London is really going to stop the war between
Speaker 2: Israel and her mask.
Speaker 3: But let's go back to that gal with.
Speaker 2: The interesting hair. Can we declare her hairdresser ay war criminal?
Speaker 9: The only thing we can do now we've checked protesting,
Speaker 9: we's tied everything.
Speaker 6: But now direct action is the only thing we can do.
Speaker 3: PREPOSI, you will not be complicit in this Jenoside.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all fun and games for these privileged poses.
Speaker 2: Now to New York, where the West Indian American Day
Speaker 2: Parade was marred by multiple shootings. One of the five
Speaker 2: people shot sadly died, and as is often the case
Speaker 2: of these parades, the politicians make an appearance and sometimes
Speaker 2: make a spectacle of themselves. Watch here as Chuck Schumer
Speaker 2: desperately seeks attention that is not forthcoming. No one was
Speaker 2: interested to Matt Walsh's latest film, Now and Here he
Speaker 2: speaks with an anti racism educator who is upset that
Speaker 2: her four year old daughter likes Disney princesses that are white.
Speaker 2: What a monster.
Speaker 13: My daughter's four years old. I am an anti racist educator,
Speaker 13: quote unquote. She's still watching Disney movies and she is
Speaker 13: choosing a white princess over princesses of color.
Speaker 14: Have you talked to her about that all the time.
Speaker 2: But if your child does have a preference for princesses
Speaker 2: of color, then well that's a problem too. Either way,
Speaker 2: the kid is ricist, You're racist, America's ricist. You get
Speaker 2: the idea.
Speaker 14: My three year old daughter is her favorite princess is Molana.
Speaker 14: It's a good sign.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 14: But then I also thought, you know, a little bit
Speaker 14: of cultural appropriation here. She wants to be Moana for
Speaker 14: Halloween and by the Pacific Islander native attire for my white.
Speaker 13: Three year old.
Speaker 6: I wouldn't. I wouldn't, But I guess what.
Speaker 14: We might call the Malana problem here is what on
Speaker 14: one hand this cultural appropriation, On the other hand, there's
Speaker 14: gravitating towards white characters. So it's almost like, no matter
Speaker 14: which way you go, you end up back in racism.
Speaker 13: We think every space belongs to us because we live
Speaker 13: in a white supremacist society.
Speaker 2: There you go, America's a white supremacist society.
Speaker 3: Inherently racist or is it?
Speaker 2: Let's see if this woman can stay consistent for fifteen seconds.
Speaker 14: Is America an inherently racist country?
Speaker 13: I think the word inherent is challenging there. If we
Speaker 13: say fundamentally, fundamentally, yes, America is racist to its bones,
Speaker 13: all of these show inherently.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So inherently yeah.
Speaker 3: The film is called am I Racist?
Speaker 2: And Matt Walsh is hilarious.
Speaker 3: Now, one thing we can.
Speaker 2: Say about Democrat voters is there seem to be the
Speaker 2: textbook definition of low information voters. What is Harris's biggest
Speaker 2: accomplishment to date vice President?
Speaker 6: I don't know. I don't feel comfortable doing this anymore.
Speaker 5: She's she's a wash.
Speaker 1: She was a very good vice president.
Speaker 6: That's an interesting question. Getting to vice president.
Speaker 3: I have to do more research on her.
Speaker 8: Honestly, I'm just I'm just glad to see a woman,
Speaker 8: a woman of color, in charge for once.
Speaker 6: That's it.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 6: I haven't followed her political career that closely.
Speaker 1: It's a good one.
Speaker 8: I don't want to.
Speaker 2: They start off so enthusiastic, but as soon as you
Speaker 2: ask the simplest question about Harris's record, achievements, plans for
Speaker 2: the future, they stumble.
Speaker 12: I want to know, are you excited about Kamala Harris
Speaker 12: running for president?
Speaker 6: I am excited. It's amazing.
Speaker 9: Yeah, what was your favorite accomplishment of hers as VP
Speaker 9: of the United States?
Speaker 5: Honestly, I can't answer that question, you.
Speaker 6: Know, Honestly, that's a good question. I can't really say specifically.
Speaker 9: Thank you.
Speaker 10: I'm home wor here.
Speaker 6: I can't think of anything you know specifically, I don't know.
Speaker 5: Sorry, I don't know. I haven't really been following politics.
Speaker 2: Plenty more left is losing it, including Queen Jean Pierre
Speaker 2: and Kamala with my next guest. But first, let's look
Speaker 2: at this report from the New York Post revealing that
Speaker 2: seventy five percent of the people the police have arrested
Speaker 2: in Midtown Manhattan in recent months for crimes like assault, robbery,
Speaker 2: and domestic violence are migrants. This is according to police
Speaker 2: sources also tell the Posts the problem is made worse
Speaker 2: by sanctuary city laws that prevent them from working with
Speaker 2: ICE on cases where they believe the migrants have entered
Speaker 2: the country illegally, and they're also banned from tracking the
Speaker 2: immigration status of offenders. Joining me now is a commentator, docummentary, filmmaker,
Speaker 2: and praud New Yorker Army Heroid Zammy. Things aren't going
Speaker 2: too well in your home city. You are moving to
Speaker 2: Florida like so many others have.
Speaker 5: I am going down with the ship, okay, Rita, I
Speaker 5: will be here until the end. I will play the
Speaker 5: music as me and the captain stand and watch the
Speaker 5: ship go down after hit the iceberg. Because it seems
Speaker 5: like that's what's going on here. None of you listen
Speaker 5: to the media, though, because the media will tell you
Speaker 5: everything is hunky dory and crime is down. Look, the
Speaker 5: reality is the crime statistics are a little more nuanced
Speaker 5: than either side. Will you need you to believe so,
Speaker 5: for example, in New York you have rape is up, assault.
Speaker 10: Is up, murder is down a bit. If you look
Speaker 10: at statistics as.
Speaker 5: A snapshot in time, they don't really give you a
Speaker 5: sense of what the city is really like.
Speaker 2: Now, Kamala Harris's shifting accent is becoming hotter for her campaign,
Speaker 2: seem to deny with more examples coming to light. Here,
Speaker 2: she's switched up her accent quite dramatically on the same day.
Speaker 4: Person in our nation has benefited from that work. You know,
Speaker 4: everywhere I go, I tell people you may not be
Speaker 4: a union member, but you better thank unions for that
Speaker 4: five day work week.
Speaker 8: You better thank a union member for sick leave, You
Speaker 8: better thank a union member for paid leave.
Speaker 6: You better thank a union.
Speaker 3: Member for vacation time.
Speaker 2: Yes, that was firstly Pittsburgh, Kamala, and then we got
Speaker 2: the Detroit version, which was fairly different. Fox News has
Speaker 2: Pitter doozy ours White House pro Secretary Queen Jean Pierre
Speaker 2: about this bizarre behavior.
Speaker 6: Since when does the vice president have what sounds like
Speaker 6: a Southern accent?
Speaker 5: I have no idea what you're talking about.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean this is she was talking about unions
Speaker 4: in Detroit using one tone of voice.
Speaker 6: Is this something the same line?
Speaker 10: Okay, Peter?
Speaker 5: Did she She's the same line in Pittsburgh and it
Speaker 5: sounded like she at least had some kind.
Speaker 13: Of a Southern I mean, do you hear the question
Speaker 13: that I mean, do you think Americans seriously think that
Speaker 13: this is an important question?
Speaker 10: They care, you know, what they care about.
Speaker 4: They care about the economy, they care about louring cost,
Speaker 4: they care about healthcare.
Speaker 5: That's what Americans care about.
Speaker 2: Yes, that is what Americans care about, along with the
Speaker 2: border crime. But the president is lying on the beach
Speaker 2: on what seems to be an endless holiday and the
Speaker 2: vice president is work shopping accents army.
Speaker 3: My question to you is who's running the country right now?
Speaker 2: Because these issues are present and as kreen Jehan pireticulated there,
Speaker 2: it's what's concerning americans most cost of living and the
Speaker 2: border crisis.
Speaker 3: Crime.
Speaker 5: Oh can you please leave poor old Joe Biden alone. Okay,
Speaker 5: he's an old man. He needs to take his nap.
Speaker 10: Let the guy sit and rest in the Delaware beach
Speaker 10: and go to sleep. Enough of that.
Speaker 5: Look, for the first time, I agree with Jean Pierre
Speaker 5: careed right. They care about the economy fail. They care
Speaker 5: about low prices fail. Thank you for making that clear
Speaker 5: to the American people. But you know, it's this incredulous
Speaker 5: that she doesn't know what you're talking Really, she doesn't
Speaker 5: know what they're talking about. Look, this is very similar
Speaker 5: to Hillary Clinton. She'd the same exact thing. And if
Speaker 5: you go to Harlem like I did and ask them
Speaker 5: about that specifically, they have a word for It's called
Speaker 5: black sent This is the black people to Harlem. Told
Speaker 5: me that's it is black sid It's pathetic, it's it
Speaker 5: is pandering at the lowest level.
Speaker 6: Do you know what.
Speaker 5: Look, Kamala Harris grew up in Madison, Wisconsin, and Herbella, Illinois.
Speaker 5: Those two cities because her father was an academic, her
Speaker 5: mother was a medical researcher. She didn't grow up in
Speaker 5: the hood. Okay, she didn't grow up in Detroit. But
Speaker 5: it's pandering. And by the way, it's Worse than that,
Speaker 5: it's racist pandering because in other words, like you think
Speaker 5: that black people want to hear you speak like that,
Speaker 5: Like for some reason, black people think the more you're
Speaker 5: more connected to them if you speak in that twang.
Speaker 10: It's ridiculous and and also got.
Speaker 3: It reminds me that patronizing.
Speaker 5: It reminds me when when when Hillary Clinton was at
Speaker 5: a black, a black owned restaurant, and she took out
Speaker 5: hot sauce from a purse. Oh god, people, you really
Speaker 5: think black people can't see either of this?
Speaker 3: They can't and army must be said.
Speaker 2: The Vice President and her VP pick have been particularly
Speaker 2: weak on foreign policy matters, including the war between Israel
Speaker 2: and her mask. This is Tim Walls earlier this week,
Speaker 2: when he was asked about the murder of six Israeli hostages.
Speaker 4: Down.
Speaker 6: Thanks everybody.
Speaker 2: And army. You'd recall Vice President Harris refusing to preside
Speaker 2: over or even a tent Benjamin Nettanya, Who's joint addressed
Speaker 2: to Congress in July. How do you see the reaction
Speaker 2: of the Biden Harris administration and the Harris Wolves team
Speaker 2: a lot of this week's tragedy.
Speaker 5: Look what we just saw from Tim Walls was absolutely disgusting. Okay,
Speaker 5: I'm to walk away and not comment on the brutality
Speaker 5: of those six hostages who were murdered in cold blood
Speaker 5: by Hamas. It's disgusting, but really is more than anything
Speaker 5: telling about the Harris Waltz campaign or what ultimately they
Speaker 5: will look like as an administration. And by the way,
Speaker 5: there's a lot of blame to go around the media's portrayed.
Speaker 5: By the way, I also want to mention that Heirsch,
Speaker 5: polland Goldberg. It's personal to me actually went to college
Speaker 5: with John Poland Whi's particularly difficult for me to see
Speaker 5: his death. Obviously we held that hope and it came
Speaker 5: to past that he was killed. But I want to
Speaker 5: put out that work. He was killed, he was murdered.
Speaker 5: Why do I say that, because the media is portraying
Speaker 5: it as if it's Israel's fault for continuous war. Even
Speaker 5: worse than that, CNN had a headline that said that
Speaker 5: Hirsch died he died of what skin cancer?
Speaker 10: A bike riding accident, No it is.
Speaker 5: It was one of the most despicable displays of the
Speaker 5: mainstream media's headlines I have ever seen.
Speaker 10: That's the problem facing.
Speaker 2: I saw that CNN headline. Incredible that they would have
Speaker 2: framed it in that way, and it did upset a
Speaker 2: lot of people, understandably. Let's go back to New York now,
Speaker 2: and it's clear that left has an anti Semitism problem,
Speaker 2: and it's one that's only growing. Over the Labor Day,
Speaker 2: we ken thats of pro Palestinian protesters took to the streets,
Speaker 2: some brandishing her Mass flags just days after the terrorist
Speaker 2: murdered six Israeli hostages in Rapa. And the best and
Speaker 2: brightest are not much better. Army Columbia University students have
Speaker 2: returned to campus after the summer break, and they have
Speaker 2: already started protesting against Israel in their usual violent way.
Speaker 2: People have been arrested during their demonstrations. The university's iconic
Speaker 2: Alma Mata bronze statue was defaced with red painter. What
Speaker 2: is the cure here for this growing anti Semitism which
Speaker 2: obviously goes beyond just anti Israeli sentiment. This is anti American,
Speaker 2: anti West, and anti Jewish undeniably.
Speaker 5: I mean, there is no answer. I mean, this is
Speaker 5: a problem is not going to go away for a
Speaker 5: very very long time. You said it there, exactly right,
Speaker 5: It goes beyond anti Semitism hatred of Jews. It continues
Speaker 5: the anti westernism, anti Americanism. And one of those three
Speaker 5: things have in common Rita because when you find the
Speaker 5: common denominator, you get to the root of the problem.
Speaker 5: The common dominator is those three things are successful. Right,
Speaker 5: America is the most successful country in the world. The
Speaker 5: West is the most successful region in the world. Jews
Speaker 5: are one of the most successful subgroups in the world.
Speaker 5: They don't hate Jews because we wear little funny hats
Speaker 5: and we keep kosher.
Speaker 12: Right.
Speaker 5: They hate Jews because, in their intersectional mantra, if you
Speaker 5: are successful, you are demonized. If you were successful, you
Speaker 5: couldn't be successful because you are smart, or worked hard,
Speaker 5: or had certain values that made successful. You're successful because
Speaker 5: you stepped on the necks of people below you. That
Speaker 5: is the theology of the left, and that cuts across
Speaker 5: any religion or any other subgroup. It cuts across regions
Speaker 5: and countries. They hate Israel because Israel is successful, the
Speaker 5: Jews because Jews are successful, date America because it's successful,
Speaker 5: and so forth and so on. That's what it boils
Speaker 5: down to. It is a Marxist ideology dressed.
Speaker 10: Up in Hey. We're looking out for the underdogs. We're
Speaker 10: looking out for the little guys.
Speaker 5: Never Mind that in this case, the underdogs and the
Speaker 5: little guys butchered twelve hundred Jews in Israel.
Speaker 10: Never Mind that small, little annoying fact.
Speaker 5: Let's not get that in the way of our hatred
Speaker 5: of the West of Jews and success, because that's what
Speaker 5: it comes down.
Speaker 2: To, Ami Horowitz, Thank you for your time tonight still
Speaker 2: to come. Refusing to call a boy and girl led
Speaker 2: to a teacher.
Speaker 3: Being jowled, Darren Grimes.
Speaker 2: Explains mixed watching the Reader Paney Show. Now, Irish teacher
Speaker 2: in Ochburg has been jailed for the third time after
Speaker 2: he was arrested outside the school he says sacked him
Speaker 2: for refusing to call a.
Speaker 3: Boy a girl.
Speaker 2: He has already spent more than four hundred days in
Speaker 2: Mountjoy Prison for repeatedly defying a High Court injunction banning
Speaker 2: him from Wilson's Hospital School in County Westmeath.
Speaker 3: He was sacked in.
Speaker 2: January twenty twenty three for refusing to call a transitioning
Speaker 2: pupil by their preferred pronoun, which is they, saying it
Speaker 2: was against his religious beliefs.
Speaker 3: In court on Monday.
Speaker 2: He claimed Irish teachers were being commanded to force transgenderism
Speaker 2: on students, calling it a hellish ideology that leaves children
Speaker 2: scarred for life.
Speaker 3: In Ockburg is appealing.
Speaker 2: His dismissal from the school, joining me now as gb
Speaker 2: News host and founder of Reasoned Darren Grimes.
Speaker 3: Darren, tell me about this dismissal.
Speaker 2: Surely he's not facing this ordeal time behind bars because
Speaker 2: he refused to abide by They then pronouns yeah.
Speaker 12: It's a glaring example of the way in which the
Speaker 12: political parties throughout the Republic of Ireland have become completely homogeneous,
Speaker 12: captured by ideology, whether it be on rampant mass migration
Speaker 12: or on this issue of refusing to call a spade
Speaker 12: a spade and actually adopting trans ideology as your creed.
Speaker 12: Because it's an example glaring as it possibly can be
Speaker 12: of Actually, well, can you ever imagine ten years ago, Rita,
Speaker 12: if you and I were to have been having a
Speaker 12: conversation about someone being jailed for simply refusing to call
Speaker 12: a boy a girl. It isn't about pronouns, right, It's
Speaker 12: about a fundamental assault on the right.
Speaker 1: To speak truth. As he said, it.
Speaker 12: I wouldn't even say that this is an issue of
Speaker 12: religious conscience as such. I would say that, actually it's
Speaker 12: about the madness of gender ideology actually reaching a point
Speaker 12: where a teacher can be thrown in jail for actually
Speaker 12: sticking to biological reality.
Speaker 1: So it actually highlights the power.
Speaker 12: Of the absurdity of the walk crusade, where the most
Speaker 12: basic facts of life are now considered quote unquote offensive.
Speaker 12: And it isn't even I wouldn't even say it's about
Speaker 12: Enoch himself. I would say, actually, it's about this creeping
Speaker 12: authoritarianism actually spreading through institutions, important institutions like schools.
Speaker 1: We've seen it in.
Speaker 12: Hospitals in parts of the country where you know, breastfeeding
Speaker 12: becomes chest feeding and all of these absolutely absurd ideas
Speaker 12: and narratives and places of learning retach should not become
Speaker 12: guns of gender ideology. That's the fundamental point here.
Speaker 2: But that entire ideology started in academia, so we shouldn't
Speaker 2: be surprised that it's strong there. Now, let's talk about
Speaker 2: this story. This is getting attention around the world. A
Speaker 2: man has been detained in France after yet another church fire.
Speaker 2: The steeple of the nineteenth century Church of the Immaculate
Speaker 2: Conception collapsed in the blaze. Police say the man has
Speaker 2: been known to authorities for similar acts in the past.
Speaker 2: Two years ago, the president of the Observatory of Religious
Speaker 2: Heritage claimed that a church building disappears every two weeks
Speaker 2: in France, either due to demolition, transformation, fire or collapse.
Speaker 2: That beautiful churched aaron survived to World Wars, but it's
Speaker 2: destroyed now along with many others.
Speaker 1: It seems, Yeah, it's absolutely heartbreaking.
Speaker 12: Actually, the the sheer beauty that's been lost, well what
Speaker 12: seems to be over recent years. I mean, the fact
Speaker 12: of the matter is said that there can't be a
Speaker 12: Suddain coincidence in the fact that churches are burning down,
Speaker 12: when actually we've invited a lot of people to Europe's
Speaker 12: shores which perhaps aren't all too fond with Europe's churches.
Speaker 1: I mean, I wonder why that could be.
Speaker 12: Research doesn't take a sort of you don't have to
Speaker 12: be the biggest mind on the planet to figure that
Speaker 12: one out. So I think it's actually heartbreaking what Europe
Speaker 12: has done to it. And you put it really well
Speaker 12: there when you said it survived two World Wars. It
Speaker 12: survived two World Wars yet, but it didn't survive contact
Speaker 12: with Europe's pontchant for saying, let's be absolutely perfect citizens
Speaker 12: of the world and invite absolutely everybody to.
Speaker 1: Come here and all the rest of it.
Speaker 12: And I'm afraid it's not been great for Europe's culture,
Speaker 12: has it, all of this diversity and all the rest
Speaker 12: of it.
Speaker 1: So no, I find it absolutely tragic.
Speaker 2: I was going to ask you just on that, because
Speaker 2: you've been outspoken about Exlamic extremism on television and that's
Speaker 2: caused you to have a running with a man who
Speaker 2: threatened you.
Speaker 1: Let's have a look. Can I just again, I just said,
Speaker 1: we're both freelanced, Just.
Speaker 3: Tell me what happened. There, is there anything to worry about.
Speaker 12: Yeah, So you heard him at the end, they're talking
Speaker 12: about ISLAMI shouts, and he again he walked up to
Speaker 12: me retown the streets of London and he said if
Speaker 12: I talk about Islam again, that the streets of London
Speaker 12: would be unsafe for me. Now, that to me is
Speaker 12: a direct threat. Now the police are yet to do
Speaker 12: anything about it. But of course we've seen on the
Speaker 12: streets of our country over recent weeks, the fact that
Speaker 12: someone was banged up for flying an English flag outside
Speaker 12: of a mosque. We saw someone banged up for shouting
Speaker 12: obscenities about Allah, and we've seen someone banged up for
Speaker 12: Facebook posts and all the rest of it. So it
Speaker 12: strikes me that there is a clear example here of
Speaker 12: two tiered justice in which someone can be threatened for
Speaker 12: their doing their job and for their speech and nothing
Speaker 12: be done about it. But if it's on the other imagine, Rita,
Speaker 12: if I had said to this individual that if he
Speaker 12: speaks about Christianity, I will make the streets of London
Speaker 12: unsafe for him. Can you honestly tell me that I
Speaker 12: wouldn't be criminalized for that speech. Of course I would,
Speaker 12: because it's actually threatening behavior. But when it happens the
Speaker 12: other way around.
Speaker 2: We've run out of time, but we will speak to
Speaker 2: you again and hopefully by then the authorities have actually
Speaker 2: done something about this and at least interviewed that man.
Speaker 2: Darren Grimes, thank you for your time this evening, and
Speaker 2: that's it for me. Up next is Newsnight. I'll see
Speaker 2: you at eleven tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Good night,
