WEBVTT - The Late Debate | 21 October

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Late Debates.

0:00:07.480 --> 0:00:11.200
<v Speaker 2>Good evening and thanks for your company tonight. Joining me

0:00:11.320 --> 0:00:15.560
<v Speaker 2>this evening in lou of James McPherson and CAYLEB Bond,

0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:18.200
<v Speaker 2>who have both deserted us for the night, we have

0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:25.840
<v Speaker 2>du hildorand and kel Richards joining us. He's edging closer

0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:27.080
<v Speaker 2>to a permanent spot.

0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>He really just call a We're happy to fill in.

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh good anytime. These two are not new to the

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Late Debate, as you well know. But coming up tonight,

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:40.760
<v Speaker 2>the Irish government has sent out a call to expats

0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:44.280
<v Speaker 2>here in sunny Australia, calling on them to come home

0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:48.680
<v Speaker 2>and help with their own housing crisis. Build more houses,

0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:51.480
<v Speaker 2>they say, we'll make it worth your while. Well, it's

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:55.600
<v Speaker 2>sparked a backlash that they didn't see coming. Also coming

0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 2>up in the papers tonight, still manufacturers in Victoria feeling

0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 2>very duped by duplicitous politicians finding out that they're buying

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:11.319
<v Speaker 2>their steel from China for some massive projects. You can

0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:15.480
<v Speaker 2>imagine how cheated they feel. Also in the papers tonight,

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:20.240
<v Speaker 2>job losses being masked by the care economy. It appears

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.640
<v Speaker 2>not is all as it seems, but will get into

0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:28.240
<v Speaker 2>those numbers soon but first, they're in your water supply,

0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:32.839
<v Speaker 2>they're in your food, they're in your cooking implements, they're

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:38.319
<v Speaker 2>absolutely everywhere. These man made chemicals known as pfas or

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:42.120
<v Speaker 2>forever chemicals, because they don't break down in the environment

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 2>and they don't break down in your system. These man

0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 2>made chemicals are linked to a raft of illnesses and

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:53.680
<v Speaker 2>different health complications. There's a reason why the US claims

0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 2>it spends two hundred and fifty billion dollars every year

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 2>on the poor health side effects due to people consuming

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 2>pfas in their everyday food and water. Now, this is

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.919
<v Speaker 2>a big soapbox of mine, as you know, and we've

0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:13.680
<v Speaker 2>been talking about this for quite some time now, but

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 2>it looks like Australia may be taking some action. You

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 2>would remember six months ago this headline shocked a nation.

0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:26.800
<v Speaker 2>It read Australian drinking water now allows US car synogen

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:31.400
<v Speaker 2>at one hundred and forty times the US rate. It

0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:33.840
<v Speaker 2>bears mentioning that the US have warned there are no

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:39.680
<v Speaker 2>safe levels of exposure to these chemicals. So this, well,

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 2>this put some fire under Australia's drinking water, didn't it.

0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 2>They decided they might start running some tests and we

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:50.760
<v Speaker 2>all know how that went here in Sydney with two

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 2>dams closed down due to the levels of pfas found

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.919
<v Speaker 2>in the water. Well, now we see the National Health

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:02.840
<v Speaker 2>and Medical Research Council has taken action today. This article

0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:06.480
<v Speaker 2>by the Sydney Morning Herald reads new thresholds to be

0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 2>announced by the National Health and Medical Research Council on

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 2>Monday will slash allowable levels of three different kinds of

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 2>pea fasts, keep in mind as over fourteen thousand chemicals

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:22.760
<v Speaker 2>under the p FAS umbrella in tap water, and introduce

0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:27.959
<v Speaker 2>limits for the first time on a fourth of these chemicals.

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 2>So it's taken six months, but better late than never. Joe,

0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:36.880
<v Speaker 2>And is this reassuring given we actually don't know the

0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 2>state of play right because there's no regulation in Australia

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:42.360
<v Speaker 2>to say that they have to test our water supply.

0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:45.480
<v Speaker 2>I go to the vast majority in Australia.

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 3>We're all at testing is by our own drinking water.

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 3>This is literally the plot of Batman. This is this

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 3>is what the joke, what the joker tried to do.

0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:58.080
<v Speaker 3>Nor rash Gul. But I'll won't, I won't sweat on ceremony. Yes,

0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 3>I am reassured because this our thanks to your advocacy

0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.240
<v Speaker 3>and thanks to the Australian government the National Health Medical

0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 3>Research Council acting on this, the number has been cut

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.600
<v Speaker 3>for one particular p fast chemical from one hundred and

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.560
<v Speaker 3>forty times the safe limit that the US has to

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 3>just fifty times the safe limit.

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Yes that I was about to get there. And notably

0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:24.320
<v Speaker 2>it's PFOA, which is one of the worst and has

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:28.520
<v Speaker 2>literally killed lab animals due to cancer, so they know

0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:32.719
<v Speaker 2>that this is a norm carcynogen, and Australia is still

0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 2>just told, oh, don't worry, it's allowed fifty times the

0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:39.599
<v Speaker 2>amount the US says is okay, but this one we're

0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:41.800
<v Speaker 2>just going to let it go by the bye. Something

0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.880
<v Speaker 2>else that's not reassuring at all about this kel is

0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:49.279
<v Speaker 2>this article reads that this is just a proposal which

0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 2>is likely to force the cleanup of tap water, so

0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:57.159
<v Speaker 2>we're a long way away from actually seeing any action here.

0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Yes, can I say this has been very f about

0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:03.160
<v Speaker 1>the prefast things for some time, and having listened to

0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 1>her today and then tried to read some chemistry, I'm

0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 1>now totally panic stricken because I think it's because they're

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.920
<v Speaker 1>not just in the drinking water. They're everywhere. They're in packaging,

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:18.480
<v Speaker 1>they're in carpets, they're in clothing. These particular thousands of

0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:21.440
<v Speaker 1>chemicals in this particular chemical group are used because they

0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:24.280
<v Speaker 1>repel water, they repel grease, they repel oil, and they

0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 1>repel heat. So they're really useful stuff to put in

0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:30.360
<v Speaker 1>packaging and fabrics and that kind of thing, and they

0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:33.520
<v Speaker 1>end up leading into the food we Actually there's one

0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:35.160
<v Speaker 1>of them. It's one of the prefast things. I've got

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.559
<v Speaker 1>to read this to you because I can't remember it.

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:41.039
<v Speaker 1>It's called the polytetrafluo ethylene. That one what a name,

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.400
<v Speaker 1>but we know it as teflon and we cook on it.

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.839
<v Speaker 1>So I mean, I'm now really worried the modern world

0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:49.599
<v Speaker 1>wants to kill me.

0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:51.960
<v Speaker 3>But this is the thing, though, if and I know

0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.440
<v Speaker 3>that there are legitimate questions about all sorts of things

0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:56.160
<v Speaker 3>like you know, where the higher levels of augies were

0:05:56.200 --> 0:06:00.040
<v Speaker 3>caused by over produced you know, the extra food.

0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:01.840
<v Speaker 2>And well we are sicker than we've ever been, so

0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:07.120
<v Speaker 2>we're walking into pefas and microplastics and all this kind.

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 4>Of thing that dangerous.

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 3>We all be dead or are we dead? And this

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.280
<v Speaker 3>is all just the afterlog and why is our.

0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:16.520
<v Speaker 2>Age about quality of life?

0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:16.800
<v Speaker 4>Though?

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:18.560
<v Speaker 2>I think that's what this speaks to.

0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.880
<v Speaker 3>Just yeah, I guess, like I guess, in the perfect world,

0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.919
<v Speaker 3>everything you had would be super duper organic and super.

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:26.240
<v Speaker 4>Duper good for you and all perfect.

0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 3>We wouldn't need any processed food whatsoever, and we wouldn't

0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:29.640
<v Speaker 3>have any plastics.

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:33.000
<v Speaker 2>This isn't even processed food. You can be eating food

0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:37.000
<v Speaker 2>and they've sprayed it with pesticides. It's a crawling with pefas,

0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.200
<v Speaker 2>so you genuinely can't win. And then if you cook

0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:44.279
<v Speaker 2>in cooking implements like Kel was saying, if that's Teflon coded,

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:48.000
<v Speaker 2>guess what, You've just riddled your whole meal with pfas

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 2>from Teflon. So it really does curl guy.

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:56.560
<v Speaker 1>And if you're not worried, show if you're not worried yet,

0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:58.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand why.

0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:02.880
<v Speaker 2>The moral of the story is the government's not trying

0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 2>to save you, so you might as well just up

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:07.680
<v Speaker 2>on the knowledge. Knowledge is power and get rid of

0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:10.360
<v Speaker 2>as much pfas out of your own diet and life

0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.880
<v Speaker 2>as you possibly can. Moving to New Zealand now where

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.680
<v Speaker 2>we've all been in this situation, you're dropping someone off

0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:21.640
<v Speaker 2>at the airport and you can't pull in because everybody's

0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:26.160
<v Speaker 2>on the curb side saying these tearful farewells hugging fifty

0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:29.760
<v Speaker 2>people or however many they've got to say goodbye to well.

0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 2>New Zealand has come up with a very simple solution,

0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 2>a three minute limit on departure zones. Someone's finally done it.

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:43.400
<v Speaker 2>They are calling this a limited hug zone. And if

0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 2>you're one longer to say goodbye to your loved ones,

0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.200
<v Speaker 2>they say, well, just park your car, you get fifteen

0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 2>minutes free. But the reaction to this kel has been

0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 2>really interesting because some people say, oh, this is actually

0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:59.760
<v Speaker 2>very generous at airports around the world. Some of it

0:07:59.880 --> 0:08:03.080
<v Speaker 2>is basically like you've got nowhere to drop them minutes,

0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:05.880
<v Speaker 2>you just slow down and push them out of the car.

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 2>And others are saying this is in du Maine. You

0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:12.240
<v Speaker 2>can't do these people need to farewell, they're loved one.

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 1>But there are people saying, you know, these New Zealand

0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:17.960
<v Speaker 1>airport people are fascist. This is terrible, but no, they

0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 1>are on the money. I mean I've pulled it, You've

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.400
<v Speaker 1>pulled in there, and you know what happens. There's this

0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.520
<v Speaker 1>there's a limited area in the drop off, kiss and

0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:27.880
<v Speaker 1>ride area, and every single one of them is full,

0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:31.320
<v Speaker 1>and Grandma can't get out of the car, and there

0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:33.880
<v Speaker 1>are too many bags and they're there forever, and you

0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.599
<v Speaker 1>just think, go go go. I've got to pull in.

0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:38.480
<v Speaker 1>I've got people to get out, and the plane will

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 1>leave soon so that we don't get into panicst Three

0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:43.079
<v Speaker 1>minutes is actually a lot of time.

0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:45.359
<v Speaker 4>Can I just once.

0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:47.120
<v Speaker 3>I've pulled in anywhere I can get out of there

0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:48.000
<v Speaker 3>in less than three minutes.

0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 2>That's what if you're saying goodbye to your nearest and

0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:57.040
<v Speaker 2>dearest and you're not going to the.

0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.320
<v Speaker 4>Band aid, you know, I make it quick. What are

0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:01.800
<v Speaker 4>you doing at the hug the last three minutes? You

0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:02.880
<v Speaker 4>can get pregnant from that?

0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Three minutes is actually three minutes is a long time.

0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:07.679
<v Speaker 1>That's what I've worked in radio for a long time,

0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:10.240
<v Speaker 1>and you work out that something like three minutes, which

0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 1>sound short, it's actually a long time, like plenty of

0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:16.960
<v Speaker 1>time to do that, plenty of time to do that.

0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:17.520
<v Speaker 1>They worried.

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:19.400
<v Speaker 2>I think it's more than generous.

0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:21.240
<v Speaker 1>Yes, you have a problem. I can think I can

0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:23.880
<v Speaker 1>get out of the car with my writers in three minutes.

0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:26.720
<v Speaker 3>If anyone is hugging you for more than three minutes.

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:28.920
<v Speaker 4>In the media industry, you need to consult HR.

0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Because that is just actually, that's what happened to Channel exactly.

0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.520
<v Speaker 4>That's right now. I'm with them all all the way.

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:37.679
<v Speaker 3>Another thing that I'm with all the way is the

0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.760
<v Speaker 3>UK Labor Party because the Labor Party.

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:41.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I didn't.

0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:44.760
<v Speaker 3>Realize that the United Kingdom and the United States were

0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.160
<v Speaker 3>actually the same country.

0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:47.920
<v Speaker 4>That they are.

0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:52.040
<v Speaker 3>Because the United Kingdom's Labor Party is sending nearly one

0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:57.120
<v Speaker 3>hundred current and former staff to the US to campaign

0:09:57.520 --> 0:09:58.720
<v Speaker 3>for Kamala Harris.

0:09:58.720 --> 0:09:59.600
<v Speaker 1>The red coats.

0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.200
<v Speaker 3>The red Coats are coming for the Blues in America.

0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:03.760
<v Speaker 4>That's right.

0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:07.240
<v Speaker 3>It's quite phenomen The head of operations at the Labor

0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:09.720
<v Speaker 3>Party who says they've got one hundred Labor Party staff

0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.319
<v Speaker 3>current format going to the US, heading to North Carolina

0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:15.559
<v Speaker 3>and Nevada, Pennsylvania and Virginia. These are obviously all swing states.

0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:17.679
<v Speaker 3>Pennsylvania is the one where you win that you win

0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:18.320
<v Speaker 3>the whole lot.

0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:23.960
<v Speaker 5>And they're going to be taking the fight to Donald

0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.120
<v Speaker 5>Trump on housing and saying how much how am they're

0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.920
<v Speaker 5>going to be In the meantime, we've got a slightly

0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:34.000
<v Speaker 5>different approach taken by Elon Musk, who is simply going

0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:37.400
<v Speaker 5>to offer a million dollars to I believe anyone who

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:38.319
<v Speaker 5>votes for Donald Trump.

0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:41.120
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, no, no no. You just rock up your vote,

0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.520
<v Speaker 1>you get your millionaire. There's a little bit more choice.

0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:49.520
<v Speaker 2>Musk has famously said that he is quote f if

0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:53.160
<v Speaker 2>Trump loses. He says, if Trump loses, the only question

0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:57.120
<v Speaker 2>is how long am I Elon Musk going to prison for?

0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:01.199
<v Speaker 2>So he is totally backing in Trump, but he's putting

0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:05.479
<v Speaker 2>his money where his mouth is. Making this extraordinary announcement

0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:09.000
<v Speaker 2>at a rally in Pennsylvania over the weekend.

0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:09.760
<v Speaker 4>Check it out.

0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:18.240
<v Speaker 6>We're going to be awarding a million dollars to randomly

0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:24.480
<v Speaker 6>to people who have signed the petition every day from

0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:26.280
<v Speaker 6>now until the ele accident.

0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.920
<v Speaker 2>And he kicked it off immediately in that same speech,

0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:38.200
<v Speaker 2>announcing that day's winner, a guy by the name John Draya.

0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:41.280
<v Speaker 2>Here he is the guy. I can't believe it.

0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:43.840
<v Speaker 7>The first thing that happened, you know, I screamed him

0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:46.040
<v Speaker 7>it was a million dollars, and I was pumping my

0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:48.520
<v Speaker 7>popping my check in the air, you know, pupping my

0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.559
<v Speaker 7>arms in the air. And I went up and actually

0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:53.640
<v Speaker 7>meeting Elin, I kind of frog out with the money

0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.520
<v Speaker 7>for a little bit, since he's such an influential figure,

0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.080
<v Speaker 7>you know, for you guys my issue, who are working

0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:01.400
<v Speaker 7>hard every day and you know it's important, it's really

0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:02.559
<v Speaker 7>important to get out in coding.

0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:04.360
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Obviously, the dams don't like this at all and have

0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:10.360
<v Speaker 2>taken to social media to say, how is this not

0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:15.320
<v Speaker 2>election interference? How is this legal? Something tells me Elon Musks.

0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.520
<v Speaker 2>A legal team went over this with a fine tooth

0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:19.719
<v Speaker 2>com before he made it. But how would you be

0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:24.480
<v Speaker 2>gl going? Wait, I just signed a petition supporting the constitution,

0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:28.600
<v Speaker 2>and I'm basically in a lottery to win a million dollars,

0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:30.760
<v Speaker 2>winning every single day until the election.

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:33.480
<v Speaker 1>And I mean there's a block that walked into that

0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:36.280
<v Speaker 1>meeting and walked away with the million dollars. Who wouldn't

0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:39.000
<v Speaker 1>be complaining about that? Let me explain. They've got things

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:42.559
<v Speaker 1>in American Core PACs political action committee. See anyone could

0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:44.840
<v Speaker 1>set one up. You need to register with the political

0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.959
<v Speaker 1>mob in Washington. The one that Musk set up is

0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.840
<v Speaker 1>called America PAC and they can collect money and they

0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.520
<v Speaker 1>can either run campaigns or support a candidate or whatever,

0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:56.800
<v Speaker 1>as long as they're registered. Now he's running a legitimate PAC,

0:12:57.240 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 1>and his PAC's got this petition, so it's not actually

0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:04.120
<v Speaker 1>vote for Trump. It signed the petition to support free

0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:08.520
<v Speaker 1>speech and the right to bear arms. So that's that's what. Obviously,

0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:10.600
<v Speaker 1>if you want to want the million dollars and you

0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:13.160
<v Speaker 1>want to sign a free speech about bearing arms, you're

0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:16.600
<v Speaker 1>not voting for Kamala Harris, So you're on the right time.

0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:17.959
<v Speaker 4>The packs were set up in the first flight.

0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:19.959
<v Speaker 3>The whole point of setting up the packs is because

0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:23.679
<v Speaker 3>its side steps caps on campaign donations.

0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:26.120
<v Speaker 4>Yes, so pack can spend everything at once.

0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:28.280
<v Speaker 3>It's not actually telling people to vote for a particular

0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:31.320
<v Speaker 3>candid or against particular Canadate. It just knows exactly who

0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:34.160
<v Speaker 3>the people it's targeting are going to vote for if

0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:34.559
<v Speaker 3>they do what.

0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes I make their own commercials, so.

0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:39.080
<v Speaker 4>Heats and heats of their own commasions.

0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:41.520
<v Speaker 3>But I just want to know, just a quick straw

0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:44.680
<v Speaker 3>pole on the panel, what do you reckon is more

0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:48.560
<v Speaker 3>likely to get people to vote for their respective candidate

0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:52.960
<v Speaker 3>A million dollars or some whiney pom going on about

0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.800
<v Speaker 3>how oh I just got him from it just come

0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:57.880
<v Speaker 3>in from brick lay and you.

0:13:57.840 --> 0:13:58.440
<v Speaker 4>Want to vote.

0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:02.080
<v Speaker 1>He might, but might be in trouble. It might be

0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.560
<v Speaker 1>in trouble. He's not buying votes, because if he was

0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.680
<v Speaker 1>doing that, that would clearly violate election laws. But he's

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.760
<v Speaker 1>running this in Pennsylvania, and it turns out in Pennsylvania

0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:13.960
<v Speaker 1>you need a license to run a lottery. Now, if

0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:15.920
<v Speaker 1>he's going to draw a name out each day of

0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.760
<v Speaker 1>someone who signed a petition, that's a lottery. He doesn't

0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:21.080
<v Speaker 1>have a license for a lottery. Now, if the dams

0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:24.720
<v Speaker 1>could find away to start charging him over that, he

0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:25.680
<v Speaker 1>could be in trouble.

0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:26.200
<v Speaker 4>That's right.

0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:29.480
<v Speaker 3>In fact, it's the same laws here as well, and

0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:31.360
<v Speaker 3>it used to always be in you'll notice and you

0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:32.800
<v Speaker 3>won't be able to not notice it if you watch

0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:36.200
<v Speaker 3>any time everyway. But whenever anyone's giving something away or

0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:40.240
<v Speaker 3>there's a chance to win something on a TV studio ten.

0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.760
<v Speaker 3>We used to do it all the time. And if people,

0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:44.880
<v Speaker 3>if we would have say it's a giveaway to give away,

0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:46.040
<v Speaker 3>we're just going to sign the minute there was a

0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:50.520
<v Speaker 3>hint that this would be something randomly selected a lottery.

0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.440
<v Speaker 3>Suddenly you just ran into a whole bunch of regulation

0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:54.200
<v Speaker 3>and red tape.

0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:55.400
<v Speaker 4>You can't get up, that's right.

0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:56.960
<v Speaker 3>So you can just say I'm going to give you

0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.280
<v Speaker 3>a million bucks because I feel like it, or because

0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:02.240
<v Speaker 3>you said in twenty five words or less, why it's.

0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.160
<v Speaker 1>A competition million copetition.

0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:06.240
<v Speaker 3>That's happily fine, and commercial radio statues do it all

0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:09.400
<v Speaker 3>the time. The minute it's I know, we've got two

0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:11.440
<v Speaker 3>different names and we're just going to close our eyes

0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:13.080
<v Speaker 3>and pick one, suddenly you hit it.

0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Had to be you had to do something to earn

0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.040
<v Speaker 1>the money, which is why Groucho Marx famously, if you

0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:20.000
<v Speaker 1>want to give away money, would say who's buried in

0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:24.080
<v Speaker 1>grantch too? So answer the question and you got the

0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:27.120
<v Speaker 1>money because that got him over that legal hurdle. Can

0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:30.600
<v Speaker 1>I just go back to the bridge the people from

0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:32.400
<v Speaker 1>England who are going to go a new campaign? But

0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:36.040
<v Speaker 1>this is really weird. I mean, they were they the

0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:40.479
<v Speaker 1>Democrats were really worried about foreign interference in their elections,

0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:45.840
<v Speaker 1>from Russia, from China. How is this not foreign foreign interference?

0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:47.200
<v Speaker 4>Come? I live just next door.

0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:52.840
<v Speaker 2>I think perhaps the most entertaining part of this bizarre,

0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:57.400
<v Speaker 2>bizarre move is the notion that Americans in swing states

0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:03.120
<v Speaker 2>are going to listen to some toss from Britain as

0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.800
<v Speaker 2>to what they should do about the housing crisis, who

0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.600
<v Speaker 2>they should vote for. I don't know, but I seem

0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:13.960
<v Speaker 2>to remember America for a pretty big war to make.

0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.920
<v Speaker 3>The French coming over to help the.

0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Start of a global shipping them in saying.

0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:25.760
<v Speaker 4>But it's actually it's actually not uncommon at all.

0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:30.160
<v Speaker 3>So like Australian volunteers and people from my party stuff

0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:33.080
<v Speaker 3>will go over and volunteering drives. They do it with

0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:36.160
<v Speaker 3>Obama and they do it and they do it as

0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:37.160
<v Speaker 3>a training exercise.

0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:41.400
<v Speaker 2>No, normally we don't normally advertise it though. That is

0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:42.960
<v Speaker 2>what is the Labor Party.

0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:43.680
<v Speaker 1>This is their head.

0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:46.320
<v Speaker 4>That is that is the word. Yeah, I was looking

0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:47.560
<v Speaker 4>for another head of operations.

0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:50.240
<v Speaker 3>Hi, I'm the head of secret operations for the UK

0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:50.880
<v Speaker 3>Labor Party.

0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:52.880
<v Speaker 4>Guess what we're doing in the collection.

0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:57.080
<v Speaker 1>But it could be a pattern. If you've got Labor

0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:59.160
<v Speaker 1>for for Karmela, which is what they've got, there could

0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:02.400
<v Speaker 1>be Australia for for Trump. That could be Shamoa for Carmela,

0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Japan for Trump, the Easter Island for.

0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:08.440
<v Speaker 3>White women under five foot six who wear shoes for

0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:10.960
<v Speaker 3>Kamela as well as you know black women are over

0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:13.439
<v Speaker 3>five foot who liked it.

0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:16.000
<v Speaker 1>There is actually a room of white men for karma

0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:20.720
<v Speaker 1>now it actually exists, I mean black men for indeed.

0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm sure if the Dems can find a way

0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:26.480
<v Speaker 2>to take elon master task over this, they will. We

0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:30.760
<v Speaker 2>all know Kamala's DOJ the Department of Justice is suing

0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:34.840
<v Speaker 2>both Alabama and Virginia for trying to clean up their

0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:39.000
<v Speaker 2>electoral role and get illegals off that something that's simple.

0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:42.280
<v Speaker 2>We've now got Texas and Florida also begging the FEDS

0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:45.640
<v Speaker 2>to help them because they have the intel to prove

0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:48.760
<v Speaker 2>certain people shouldn't be on their electoral roles. And are

0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:52.639
<v Speaker 2>they getting any help from the Feds. No, they are not.

0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:57.000
<v Speaker 2>But perhaps there is no better example of how differently

0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:02.400
<v Speaker 2>these administrations will run and make policy. Then at two

0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:08.040
<v Speaker 2>rallies over the weekend where someone called out Jesus's Lord

0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:11.920
<v Speaker 2>at a Kamala Harris rally and someone called out Crisis

0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:17.040
<v Speaker 2>King at a JD Vance rally, and their reactions were

0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:22.239
<v Speaker 2>chalk and cheese. Look at how Kamala reacted to this

0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:27.480
<v Speaker 2>fellow in the crowd simply calling out Jesus's Lord with

0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:29.040
<v Speaker 2>the intention.

0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:31.719
<v Speaker 8>That they would undo the protections.

0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:35.360
<v Speaker 9>Of Roe v Wade, and they did as he intended.

0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:40.520
<v Speaker 4>Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally.

0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:55.320
<v Speaker 8>No, I think you meant to go to the smaller

0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:56.280
<v Speaker 8>one down the street.

0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Just mocking him. Those two young men then talk to

0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Fox News sharing their experience of then being ushered out

0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:11.399
<v Speaker 2>of the rally. They weren't even allowed to stay for

0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:14.639
<v Speaker 2>simply stating Jesus is Lord. Now, you don't have to

0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:16.560
<v Speaker 2>be a Christian, you don't have to be a Catholic.

0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:21.600
<v Speaker 2>But where's the tolerance, where's the inclusion? Kamala and co?

0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:25.879
<v Speaker 2>And let's not forget. Within hours of this, Kamala was

0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:30.600
<v Speaker 2>rocking up at a church trying to play the Christian card.

0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:43.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean the hypocrisy here. One minute, somebody gets booted

0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:46.600
<v Speaker 2>out of your rally for yelling Jesus is Lord. And

0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:51.159
<v Speaker 2>the next well, I'm at church, I'm frontline and center,

0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:53.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm pressing, I'm photo off.

0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:55.679
<v Speaker 3>He shouting out to be fair, though, the shouting out

0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:57.879
<v Speaker 3>of Jesus Lord is like the let's go Brandon of

0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:01.120
<v Speaker 3>the abortion debate in the US. So clearly when she's

0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:03.800
<v Speaker 3>talking about you know, reproductive rights or whatever they call it,

0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:05.480
<v Speaker 3>or you know, reforming, so.

0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:06.720
<v Speaker 2>You think they should have been.

0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:07.600
<v Speaker 4>No, no, no, no, I don't.

0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:09.800
<v Speaker 3>But it's it's like their way. It's like their way

0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:13.119
<v Speaker 3>of saying, no, screw you. That's anti Catholic, that's anti Christian,

0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:15.040
<v Speaker 3>that's any religious what you should have said. But the

0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:18.800
<v Speaker 3>mistake that Carmela made was to say, there's actually for

0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:21.400
<v Speaker 3>someone who says Jesus is Lord of someone who even

0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:23.600
<v Speaker 3>his pro life or whatever, there's no place for you

0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:25.320
<v Speaker 3>in the Democratic Party.

0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:27.520
<v Speaker 4>That is insane. By saying you are.

0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:30.000
<v Speaker 3>Not welcome at this valley and literally physically removing them,

0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:32.719
<v Speaker 3>she's saying there is no place for you in the

0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:36.480
<v Speaker 3>Democratic Party. And that is of course a terribly terribly

0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:38.440
<v Speaker 3>stupid and damaging thing to do.

0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:40.600
<v Speaker 1>In America, particularly in America.

0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:43.520
<v Speaker 3>And especially when you've got so many working class people,

0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:49.000
<v Speaker 3>Irish Catholics, Italian Catholics, Roman Catholics who obviously are culturally

0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:54.440
<v Speaker 3>or sort of Democratic leaning, but also have conservative social

0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:58.600
<v Speaker 3>Jesus Lord, yes he is, but he's not running in

0:20:58.600 --> 0:20:59.680
<v Speaker 3>this particular race.

0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:00.879
<v Speaker 4>He's not on the ballots.

0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:04.000
<v Speaker 1>But she didn't need to react at all. She heard

0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:07.679
<v Speaker 1>that Jesus' Lord thing, and she decided she needed to react.

0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:10.640
<v Speaker 1>And this is why she's such an appalling candidate. She's

0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:12.720
<v Speaker 1>the worst candidate since Hillary Clinton, and we know what

0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:15.480
<v Speaker 1>happened to her. So she's just a really she cannot

0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:18.119
<v Speaker 1>very quickly, off the top of her head think of

0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:21.920
<v Speaker 1>a clever way or an appropriate way, or a tactically

0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:25.120
<v Speaker 1>good way to react. So she did this really stupid

0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:27.040
<v Speaker 1>thing of going to the rally down the street. You

0:21:27.040 --> 0:21:29.399
<v Speaker 1>don't belong in my rally. If you want to say Jesus,

0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:33.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean as you say. America is a far more

0:21:33.240 --> 0:21:36.119
<v Speaker 1>religious country than Australia. It is the vast majority of

0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:39.000
<v Speaker 1>them are Baptists. They don't want to hear a candidate

0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:40.960
<v Speaker 1>saying that she's done us off a lot of damage

0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:43.600
<v Speaker 1>and then the idea that you can repair it by

0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:47.440
<v Speaker 1>going to church tells you that Karmela may be Christian

0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:50.080
<v Speaker 1>on a Tuesday, but not on a Wednesday. Or maybe

0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:52.640
<v Speaker 1>she's Christian at three o'clock but not at four o'clock.

0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:58.120
<v Speaker 1>And that's exactly the problem. She's this changeable, could be anything, chameleon.

0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Don't know what she believes she is, candidate, and she's

0:22:01.680 --> 0:22:04.359
<v Speaker 1>underlining that, yes, I'm really like that, I'm really this

0:22:04.520 --> 0:22:07.200
<v Speaker 1>very uncertain person and you'll never know who I really

0:22:07.240 --> 0:22:11.160
<v Speaker 1>am or what I really believe. This is her doing

0:22:11.200 --> 0:22:14.160
<v Speaker 1>self damage. She's had a really bad week and at

0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:16.320
<v Speaker 1>the end of the witch he's just making it worse.

0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:19.880
<v Speaker 1>And JD. Vance then responded to it because it became

0:22:19.960 --> 0:22:22.800
<v Speaker 1>quite a famous incident. So when Jada Vance was speaking

0:22:22.840 --> 0:22:25.320
<v Speaker 1>at a rally, a bloke spoke up behind him and said,

0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Jesus is King and Vance handled it extremely well. He

0:22:29.080 --> 0:22:30.280
<v Speaker 1>handled it just like this.

0:22:31.320 --> 0:22:35.159
<v Speaker 3>Anti Christian rhetoric and anti Christian approach to public policy.

0:22:35.200 --> 0:22:37.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we've I don't think that we've that's right,

0:22:37.960 --> 0:22:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Jesus is King, and I don't think that.

0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:40.480
<v Speaker 4>We've seen.

0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:48.040
<v Speaker 1>He is impressive, isn't he? Every time I see Jada

0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Evans handling any situation, I think I understand why Trump

0:22:51.640 --> 0:22:54.280
<v Speaker 1>chose you as vice president. And it was a brilliant pick.

0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:58.520
<v Speaker 1>So he's looking good. Wills is looking worse with every

0:22:58.560 --> 0:23:01.960
<v Speaker 1>time he opened his mouth. We should not be in

0:23:02.000 --> 0:23:06.080
<v Speaker 1>the business of trying to pick outcomes of elections, because elections,

0:23:06.640 --> 0:23:07.040
<v Speaker 1>isn't it.

0:23:07.080 --> 0:23:10.200
<v Speaker 3>Because remember when JD. Vance was like the millstone around

0:23:10.240 --> 0:23:12.520
<v Speaker 3>here Trump's neck, and he was now he's the liner,

0:23:12.560 --> 0:23:14.520
<v Speaker 3>and it had come up with the weird line.

0:23:14.680 --> 0:23:20.440
<v Speaker 4>I didn't genius, I like, am I crazy? Now is

0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:20.840
<v Speaker 4>this thing?

0:23:20.880 --> 0:23:24.320
<v Speaker 3>And now again I reckon, we should never, as Jared

0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:27.440
<v Speaker 3>Henderson's very fond of saying, should never make predictions in politics,

0:23:27.520 --> 0:23:28.679
<v Speaker 3>especially about the future.

0:23:29.920 --> 0:23:32.800
<v Speaker 4>But I reckon, Donald Trump's going to win it.

0:23:33.000 --> 0:23:35.280
<v Speaker 1>It's hard to see how he could lose. Now. Now,

0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:38.520
<v Speaker 1>Paul murrayge was talking about all the statistics and how

0:23:38.520 --> 0:23:41.600
<v Speaker 1>it's really hard to pick, and Paul said really sensible things.

0:23:41.760 --> 0:23:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Well I'm not Paul. I'm not going to say sensible things.

0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Crumb is going to win. Rowan Deane has been saying

0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:48.959
<v Speaker 1>he will win a landslide for a long time and

0:23:49.000 --> 0:23:51.800
<v Speaker 1>I thought, come on, Rowan, you may be my editor

0:23:51.800 --> 0:23:54.440
<v Speaker 1>at the Spectator, but I'm not sure about this prediction.

0:23:54.720 --> 0:23:59.040
<v Speaker 1>But now I've had an American statistical expert say much

0:23:59.080 --> 0:24:01.560
<v Speaker 1>the same thing, and the betting market in America was

0:24:01.560 --> 0:24:02.120
<v Speaker 1>saying that shame.

0:24:02.320 --> 0:24:04.680
<v Speaker 2>I just don't want to jinx it because we've all

0:24:04.720 --> 0:24:10.240
<v Speaker 2>got PTSD from twenty twenty. Okay, we've all still got PTSD.

0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:13.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a betting person, but that day I was.

0:24:15.720 --> 0:24:18.800
<v Speaker 1>A cross of it. I was terrible blessed to.

0:24:18.840 --> 0:24:22.080
<v Speaker 2>Tail it on that will always chase your losses, never

0:24:22.200 --> 0:24:23.120
<v Speaker 2>chase your losses.

0:24:23.160 --> 0:24:26.240
<v Speaker 3>But I think so, and you can listen to it

0:24:26.280 --> 0:24:28.720
<v Speaker 3>on my podcast The Real Story with Joe Hill Brown

0:24:28.760 --> 0:24:31.520
<v Speaker 3>get it where we get the podcasts. But Australian political

0:24:32.040 --> 0:24:35.159
<v Speaker 3>guru who's worked on pretty much every labor campaign federally

0:24:35.280 --> 0:24:37.800
<v Speaker 3>New South Wales for about the last twenty twenty five years.

0:24:38.280 --> 0:24:41.040
<v Speaker 3>He he has crunched arms and looked into it. He

0:24:41.280 --> 0:24:44.480
<v Speaker 3>is convinced that Donald Trump is going to win. He

0:24:44.520 --> 0:24:46.960
<v Speaker 3>has come out and publicly said it. And there are

0:24:47.160 --> 0:24:49.280
<v Speaker 3>lots of different reasons for that. One is you still

0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:50.639
<v Speaker 3>going to listen to the podcast even know I'm going

0:24:50.680 --> 0:24:54.359
<v Speaker 3>to tell you. One is Trump is much much closer

0:24:54.359 --> 0:24:57.399
<v Speaker 3>now than he was in twenty sixteen and twenty twenty

0:24:57.440 --> 0:25:01.639
<v Speaker 3>and obviously the shy Trump voter hasn't gone anywhere. The

0:25:01.680 --> 0:25:03.040
<v Speaker 3>other thing you looked at, and this is a really

0:25:03.080 --> 0:25:06.159
<v Speaker 3>interesting one, is in the state of Pennsylvania, which we

0:25:06.200 --> 0:25:09.160
<v Speaker 3>all know is a must win for either candidate, they

0:25:09.520 --> 0:25:13.480
<v Speaker 3>unlike most other states, they do not give you paid

0:25:13.560 --> 0:25:16.159
<v Speaker 3>leave or time off in lou on the Tuesday to

0:25:16.240 --> 0:25:19.199
<v Speaker 3>go off and vote. So if you're a worker and

0:25:19.240 --> 0:25:22.200
<v Speaker 3>you're going out to vote and of course, voting is voluntary.

0:25:22.200 --> 0:25:26.160
<v Speaker 3>There you are taking a pay cut. You are actually

0:25:26.880 --> 0:25:29.560
<v Speaker 3>losing money to go out and vote for your candidate. Now,

0:25:29.600 --> 0:25:32.160
<v Speaker 3>which of the two candidates do you reckon has such

0:25:32.160 --> 0:25:35.800
<v Speaker 3>a stronghold on their support base that they would actually

0:25:36.080 --> 0:25:40.400
<v Speaker 3>sacrifice their paypack there to go out and vote for them.

0:25:40.560 --> 0:25:42.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm pretty sure it's not Karmala Harris. And I've got

0:25:42.680 --> 0:25:45.840
<v Speaker 3>and I've got a message from another former politician, very

0:25:45.840 --> 0:25:50.600
<v Speaker 3>senior politician who's in the US, who says exactly that he's.

0:25:50.480 --> 0:25:52.600
<v Speaker 4>In a very democratic state.

0:25:53.040 --> 0:25:56.760
<v Speaker 3>He says, no one knows what Karmala Harris stands for.

0:25:56.920 --> 0:25:59.119
<v Speaker 3>And we saw it with the Christian thing. She's mocking

0:25:59.160 --> 0:26:01.320
<v Speaker 3>Christians one in it and then trying to suck up

0:26:01.320 --> 0:26:03.280
<v Speaker 3>to them the next toge I.

0:26:03.280 --> 0:26:05.480
<v Speaker 4>Called her in a piece today, she's a.

0:26:05.440 --> 0:26:09.040
<v Speaker 3>Costume in search of a character. She has absolutely no substance.

0:26:09.440 --> 0:26:11.719
<v Speaker 3>No one knows what her actual values are because they

0:26:11.800 --> 0:26:14.560
<v Speaker 3>keep changing all the time. And again, say what you

0:26:14.640 --> 0:26:16.639
<v Speaker 3>like about Donald Trump, love him or love them, is

0:26:16.680 --> 0:26:18.960
<v Speaker 3>a known quantity of people know what he stands for.

0:26:19.200 --> 0:26:22.439
<v Speaker 3>He's a better performer, he's funnier, he doesn't take himself

0:26:22.480 --> 0:26:25.840
<v Speaker 3>so seriously and He's something you can actually cling on to.

0:26:26.440 --> 0:26:29.159
<v Speaker 1>Can I say? There's a word that covers it, which

0:26:29.240 --> 0:26:33.679
<v Speaker 1>is the feelings word. Because Karmela tried to run a

0:26:33.800 --> 0:26:38.760
<v Speaker 1>feelings campaign, feel the joy and the longer it goes on,

0:26:39.119 --> 0:26:42.280
<v Speaker 1>the less people feel anything good about her. But Trump,

0:26:42.800 --> 0:26:45.199
<v Speaker 1>the feeling just gets a bit warmer as time goes on.

0:26:45.600 --> 0:26:47.560
<v Speaker 1>I know you've seen this today, but this is terrific.

0:26:47.720 --> 0:26:51.359
<v Speaker 1>This is Trump at McDonald's and he talks to normal people,

0:26:51.600 --> 0:26:54.119
<v Speaker 1>and he's very relaxed, and he just seems like a

0:26:54.160 --> 0:26:57.040
<v Speaker 1>normal person. This is just a normal human being running

0:26:57.040 --> 0:26:58.080
<v Speaker 1>for president.

0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:00.720
<v Speaker 7>For a job.

0:27:00.920 --> 0:27:03.560
<v Speaker 1>And I've always wanted to work at McDonald I never did.

0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:06.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm running against somebody that said she did, but it

0:27:06.400 --> 0:27:09.720
<v Speaker 1>turned out to be a totally phony shor himself up.

0:27:09.840 --> 0:27:14.400
<v Speaker 4>But that's a good looking group. Hello, everybody. I've had

0:27:14.480 --> 0:27:17.000
<v Speaker 4>a lot of fun here, everybody, thank you of it.

0:27:18.680 --> 0:27:20.600
<v Speaker 1>And the thing is, we believe him when he says

0:27:20.640 --> 0:27:22.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm having a lot of fun. We believe him, don't

0:27:22.520 --> 0:27:24.360
<v Speaker 1>we Because he actually looks like it. Doesn't he lose?

0:27:24.480 --> 0:27:28.119
<v Speaker 2>And so was everyone coming through the drive through. Obviously,

0:27:29.160 --> 0:27:31.280
<v Speaker 2>working in politics, you know that these people have been

0:27:31.359 --> 0:27:34.320
<v Speaker 2>vetted before they're driving through the drive through. But how

0:27:34.440 --> 0:27:39.160
<v Speaker 2>heartwarming is this exchange. This guy cannot believe his luck

0:27:39.280 --> 0:27:40.840
<v Speaker 2>meeting Donald Trump in person.

0:27:42.720 --> 0:27:44.560
<v Speaker 4>I like this. I think I might come back and

0:27:44.560 --> 0:27:45.040
<v Speaker 4>do it again.

0:27:45.320 --> 0:27:50.640
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, Thank you, mister president.

0:27:52.960 --> 0:27:55.159
<v Speaker 4>You many parts of it, but hod many people like

0:27:55.280 --> 0:27:55.760
<v Speaker 4>us to meet.

0:27:56.720 --> 0:28:00.720
<v Speaker 8>I mean, I can see you.

0:28:08.000 --> 0:28:11.560
<v Speaker 2>Now. Politicians always pull this stuff right. And most of

0:28:11.600 --> 0:28:14.680
<v Speaker 2>the time I'm not a fan because it comes off

0:28:14.720 --> 0:28:19.080
<v Speaker 2>as inauthentic and just a photo op, and everybody involved

0:28:19.080 --> 0:28:22.000
<v Speaker 2>can feel it and can tell. But when Trump gives

0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:26.320
<v Speaker 2>this a go, he's just so I'm here, I'm having

0:28:26.359 --> 0:28:31.760
<v Speaker 2>a great time. It genuinely seems so natural. Everyone's delighted

0:28:31.880 --> 0:28:35.080
<v Speaker 2>to see him, and it actually gets amazing track.

0:28:35.240 --> 0:28:37.160
<v Speaker 4>He is just such a good showman.

0:28:37.240 --> 0:28:40.320
<v Speaker 3>And again, this is what the new American elite left

0:28:40.400 --> 0:28:44.960
<v Speaker 3>simply does not understand. Trump is entertaining, he's funny, he's

0:28:45.000 --> 0:28:47.920
<v Speaker 3>fun to watch. When he does something, people want to

0:28:47.920 --> 0:28:49.320
<v Speaker 3>know about it, and he can hand it.

0:28:49.360 --> 0:28:51.120
<v Speaker 4>I mean, imagine, God help us, imagine.

0:28:53.960 --> 0:28:54.479
<v Speaker 1>That's what I mean.

0:28:54.520 --> 0:28:57.160
<v Speaker 2>It would be so cringe seeing her do the exact

0:28:57.200 --> 0:29:00.280
<v Speaker 2>same thing. And you watch Trump and you're like, that's

0:29:00.320 --> 0:29:01.040
<v Speaker 2>that's right.

0:29:01.320 --> 0:29:04.080
<v Speaker 3>And also, and again, of course he's skewing her for

0:29:04.360 --> 0:29:06.320
<v Speaker 3>and it's just such an amazing.

0:29:06.360 --> 0:29:08.160
<v Speaker 4>Bit of you know, real world trolling.

0:29:08.320 --> 0:29:10.680
<v Speaker 3>He's scuring her for her claim that she worked in McDonald's,

0:29:10.680 --> 0:29:13.760
<v Speaker 3>which is just flat out set is a lie. And

0:29:13.760 --> 0:29:16.800
<v Speaker 3>and and yet still even when he's on the customer

0:29:16.800 --> 0:29:20.800
<v Speaker 3>betting him, even when you know it's clear that Karmela's

0:29:20.960 --> 0:29:24.719
<v Speaker 3>you know, dei pick qualities weren't enough to make up

0:29:24.760 --> 0:29:28.600
<v Speaker 3>for her manifest inadequacies, both in terms of core values

0:29:28.720 --> 0:29:32.240
<v Speaker 3>and intellect and being able to articulate her actual policies,

0:29:33.200 --> 0:29:35.880
<v Speaker 3>they still just don't get it. So have a look

0:29:35.920 --> 0:29:41.560
<v Speaker 3>at the reaction on MSNBC after Trump's McDonald's Skit has

0:29:41.600 --> 0:29:44.400
<v Speaker 3>just gone around the world, and everyone like Republican you

0:29:44.400 --> 0:29:46.840
<v Speaker 3>know right left alone, are just laughing at their asses.

0:29:47.280 --> 0:29:50.000
<v Speaker 3>Look at what MSNBC has to say about. They're just

0:29:50.000 --> 0:29:50.720
<v Speaker 3>so confused.

0:29:51.920 --> 0:29:54.920
<v Speaker 9>What is the logic behind this going to a McDonald's.

0:29:54.920 --> 0:29:56.960
<v Speaker 9>I mean, we know the guy likes Big Max and

0:29:57.040 --> 0:29:59.920
<v Speaker 9>flair Fish, and he's used the word love to describe

0:30:00.240 --> 0:30:02.080
<v Speaker 9>the way he feels about the food there before.

0:30:02.640 --> 0:30:03.760
<v Speaker 1>But what's this about.

0:30:05.640 --> 0:30:06.840
<v Speaker 9>There's no logic to it.

0:30:06.840 --> 0:30:07.560
<v Speaker 4>It's a stunt.

0:30:08.360 --> 0:30:12.120
<v Speaker 8>He has not put forth an economic agenda. He, as

0:30:12.160 --> 0:30:16.080
<v Speaker 8>you know is, appears to be not well and he's

0:30:16.680 --> 0:30:22.480
<v Speaker 8>engaged in some really bizarre types of activities during this campaign.

0:30:23.160 --> 0:30:26.160
<v Speaker 4>Like it's just scrambling their brains. What is he doing there?

0:30:26.240 --> 0:30:28.960
<v Speaker 4>There's no logic to it, right, well, just.

0:30:28.880 --> 0:30:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Mixing with everything.

0:30:30.720 --> 0:30:31.280
<v Speaker 1>It's just like you.

0:30:34.720 --> 0:30:35.160
<v Speaker 4>Fell for.

0:30:35.280 --> 0:30:39.840
<v Speaker 1>It's an election campaign. An election campaigns have stunts, and

0:30:40.600 --> 0:30:42.440
<v Speaker 1>the whole feeling of it was lovely. There was a

0:30:42.480 --> 0:30:44.760
<v Speaker 1>moment which we haven't seen in which Trump is getting

0:30:44.760 --> 0:30:47.960
<v Speaker 1>really excited about the tin thing that they used to

0:30:48.000 --> 0:30:51.080
<v Speaker 1>scoop up the fries because you said you don't have

0:30:51.120 --> 0:30:53.920
<v Speaker 1>to touch them with your hands. He's a germophobe. Everyone

0:30:53.960 --> 0:30:56.720
<v Speaker 1>knows he's a germophobe, and he was really excited about

0:30:56.720 --> 0:30:59.000
<v Speaker 1>this thing that we think he considered that fries without

0:30:59.040 --> 0:30:59.920
<v Speaker 1>touching them with his head.

0:31:00.400 --> 0:31:03.280
<v Speaker 3>Even the fact that he understands the mechanics of McDonald's,

0:31:03.280 --> 0:31:05.440
<v Speaker 3>like if you look at that MSN and again, if

0:31:05.480 --> 0:31:08.400
<v Speaker 3>you want to know everything that's wrong with the new Left,

0:31:08.440 --> 0:31:10.240
<v Speaker 3>if you like and again, I'm someone who's trying to

0:31:10.240 --> 0:31:11.840
<v Speaker 3>get it more in touch with the people that used

0:31:11.840 --> 0:31:16.320
<v Speaker 3>to claim to represent. But just that sneering, disdain that

0:31:16.400 --> 0:31:19.720
<v Speaker 3>the hosts of MSNBC, who are the epitomy of the

0:31:19.720 --> 0:31:24.120
<v Speaker 3>sort of elite East Coast left, have for McDonald's, the

0:31:24.160 --> 0:31:27.120
<v Speaker 3>food at McDonald's. People who eat at McDonald's like the

0:31:27.160 --> 0:31:28.720
<v Speaker 3>implication that, you know, he's.

0:31:28.600 --> 0:31:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Just so low brow.

0:31:30.480 --> 0:31:32.360
<v Speaker 4>They think he's just going there to eat.

0:31:32.400 --> 0:31:34.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean, the irony is that they're sneering at him

0:31:34.200 --> 0:31:36.320
<v Speaker 3>for being so low brow and stupid and mentally. And

0:31:36.320 --> 0:31:38.240
<v Speaker 3>that's what people love about it is they are clearly

0:31:38.320 --> 0:31:41.400
<v Speaker 3>so incredibly stupid they cannot figure out that they are

0:31:41.440 --> 0:31:43.719
<v Speaker 3>being one hundred percent played by him.

0:31:43.800 --> 0:31:45.840
<v Speaker 4>But again, that is everything.

0:31:45.760 --> 0:31:48.080
<v Speaker 3>You need to know about exactly what is wrong with

0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:52.320
<v Speaker 3>the allegius left that actually openly hates the values and

0:31:52.360 --> 0:31:55.400
<v Speaker 3>the past times and the jobs of working class.

0:31:55.560 --> 0:31:57.360
<v Speaker 1>That's the point I was making about the feeling thing

0:31:57.480 --> 0:32:00.760
<v Speaker 1>I think Americans look at at Trump and Vance, and

0:32:00.800 --> 0:32:03.960
<v Speaker 1>their feeling is I could if this man was the president,

0:32:04.000 --> 0:32:06.960
<v Speaker 1>if this man was the vice president, I'd feel Okay,

0:32:07.680 --> 0:32:11.120
<v Speaker 1>this is someone who looks like, well, he's been a president,

0:32:11.160 --> 0:32:12.880
<v Speaker 1>he's done it for four years. He knows that. This

0:32:13.240 --> 0:32:15.280
<v Speaker 1>is a man who looks a bit statesman like, he's

0:32:15.320 --> 0:32:18.440
<v Speaker 1>older and he's just normal and he's sensible, Whereas I

0:32:18.480 --> 0:32:20.440
<v Speaker 1>think they look at Carmela and they think of her

0:32:20.720 --> 0:32:24.440
<v Speaker 1>behind the resolute desk in the Oval office, and they

0:32:24.480 --> 0:32:26.760
<v Speaker 1>can't see it, they can't feel that that's right. So

0:32:27.040 --> 0:32:29.840
<v Speaker 1>I think the feeling thing, the vibe thing that Krmala

0:32:29.920 --> 0:32:32.520
<v Speaker 1>tried to use to wash away in with no policies.

0:32:32.720 --> 0:32:35.600
<v Speaker 1>He's acting against her because the vibe and the feeling

0:32:35.840 --> 0:32:39.200
<v Speaker 1>is with Trump, a vance, young vance. People in now

0:32:39.400 --> 0:32:42.880
<v Speaker 1>saying well, if Trump has a heart attack, this bloke's okay,

0:32:43.040 --> 0:32:43.840
<v Speaker 1>it can take over.

0:32:44.360 --> 0:32:47.680
<v Speaker 2>We're not too worried. Of course, Trump did take a

0:32:47.760 --> 0:32:53.880
<v Speaker 2>break from serving machs to drive through people, but he

0:32:53.960 --> 0:32:56.880
<v Speaker 2>could not pass up the opportunity to talk to the

0:32:56.920 --> 0:33:00.560
<v Speaker 2>press and put the dagger in Kamala because, as he

0:33:00.760 --> 0:33:04.760
<v Speaker 2>has long told everyone, he doesn't believe for a second,

0:33:05.200 --> 0:33:07.760
<v Speaker 2>But Kamala ever worked at macis.

0:33:08.920 --> 0:33:11.880
<v Speaker 4>Brother? You actually have work in McDonald's now now I

0:33:11.920 --> 0:33:12.360
<v Speaker 4>have worked.

0:33:12.920 --> 0:33:15.120
<v Speaker 7>I now worked for fifteen minutes worth?

0:33:15.280 --> 0:33:16.960
<v Speaker 4>Come up? Are you gonna put then?

0:33:17.720 --> 0:33:18.360
<v Speaker 7>Ever worked here?

0:33:20.680 --> 0:33:22.840
<v Speaker 2>You gotta love him, This is my People love him.

0:33:23.000 --> 0:33:26.520
<v Speaker 2>He's so authentic. He doesn't try to pussy foot around

0:33:26.600 --> 0:33:29.440
<v Speaker 2>what he's trying to say. He's just the sledgehammer that

0:33:29.520 --> 0:33:33.840
<v Speaker 2>says exactly what he's thinking. Last, but not least today,

0:33:34.760 --> 0:33:39.040
<v Speaker 2>Senator Lydia Thorpe made such a scene. Unless you're living

0:33:39.080 --> 0:33:42.200
<v Speaker 2>under a rock, you've probably already seen this, but in

0:33:42.280 --> 0:33:45.720
<v Speaker 2>case you haven't, as you know, the King and Queen

0:33:45.920 --> 0:33:50.920
<v Speaker 2>are currently in Australia and who interrupted a reception for

0:33:51.000 --> 0:33:54.280
<v Speaker 2>the royals today but none other than the woman who's

0:33:54.320 --> 0:33:57.120
<v Speaker 2>got to be the bride at every wedding, the corpse

0:33:57.160 --> 0:34:00.920
<v Speaker 2>at every funeral, and the baby at every baby dedication.

0:34:01.240 --> 0:34:01.920
<v Speaker 4>Here she is.

0:34:06.640 --> 0:34:10.080
<v Speaker 9>Kind of start against our people, get not our land back,

0:34:10.360 --> 0:34:14.200
<v Speaker 9>give us by this style from us, our bones, our scar,

0:34:14.560 --> 0:34:31.480
<v Speaker 9>our baby, the people we want to training in this country.

0:34:34.360 --> 0:34:39.320
<v Speaker 2>What on earth did she think that she was going

0:34:39.400 --> 0:34:40.200
<v Speaker 2>to get out of this?

0:34:41.000 --> 0:34:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Do you think she is? She's what the King's.

0:34:44.960 --> 0:34:47.520
<v Speaker 2>Going to just be like, Actually, you know what you've

0:34:47.520 --> 0:34:51.879
<v Speaker 2>got to point he take everything back? Everybody else clear out.

0:34:52.120 --> 0:34:53.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean utter nonsense.

0:34:54.080 --> 0:34:56.360
<v Speaker 1>I've tried to work out where you go ahead with

0:34:56.400 --> 0:34:59.120
<v Speaker 1>this and how you deal with a problem, Mike Lydia Thorpe.

0:34:59.200 --> 0:35:02.000
<v Speaker 1>In nineteen twenty a bloke named Hugh Mahn was the

0:35:02.040 --> 0:35:06.040
<v Speaker 1>member for Calgoli. He insulted the British royal family, and

0:35:06.120 --> 0:35:09.239
<v Speaker 1>he was expelled from the House of Representatives and his

0:35:09.320 --> 0:35:12.440
<v Speaker 1>seat was declared vacant. It's been done. I can't see

0:35:12.480 --> 0:35:15.480
<v Speaker 1>any reason why the Senate cannot vote to expel her

0:35:15.800 --> 0:35:18.480
<v Speaker 1>from the Senate and declare her seat to be vacant.

0:35:18.560 --> 0:35:20.279
<v Speaker 1>Wouldn't it be nice if they did that.

0:35:20.719 --> 0:35:23.360
<v Speaker 2>Indeed, we've got to go to a break now, but

0:35:23.800 --> 0:35:27.400
<v Speaker 2>stick around. Right after the break, we'll be discussing those

0:35:27.480 --> 0:35:31.440
<v Speaker 2>politicians in the papers who have screwed over our steel

0:35:31.520 --> 0:35:33.239
<v Speaker 2>manufacturers in Victoria.

0:35:33.880 --> 0:35:34.440
<v Speaker 4>That soon.

0:35:37.600 --> 0:35:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back. We're bringing you tomorrow's news tonight with the

0:35:41.719 --> 0:35:46.799
<v Speaker 2>front pages. Are they major newspaper in the nation, kel,

0:35:46.880 --> 0:35:48.160
<v Speaker 2>You've got the Herald Sun there.

0:35:48.160 --> 0:35:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Yes, So let's begin in Melbourne. Let's begin with the

0:35:50.080 --> 0:35:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Herald Son. They've got two stories on the front page,

0:35:52.800 --> 0:35:55.600
<v Speaker 1>both of which are about the state government are falling

0:35:55.640 --> 0:35:58.440
<v Speaker 1>up with big business and hitting big business badly. The

0:35:58.480 --> 0:36:02.360
<v Speaker 1>main headline says the Big Steel and it's about the

0:36:02.360 --> 0:36:05.480
<v Speaker 1>fact that Victorian manufacturers say they will have to cut

0:36:05.560 --> 0:36:10.400
<v Speaker 1>jobs after being betrayed by duplicitous politicians who are allowing

0:36:10.440 --> 0:36:13.960
<v Speaker 1>steel for mega projects to be shipped from China. Local

0:36:14.000 --> 0:36:17.879
<v Speaker 1>steel fabricators say they were promised a lucrative pipeline worth

0:36:17.960 --> 0:36:20.560
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of millions of dollars from the big build only

0:36:20.600 --> 0:36:25.040
<v Speaker 1>to see orders disappearing overseas. If this is really the case,

0:36:25.320 --> 0:36:28.200
<v Speaker 1>the Victorian government did promise it to local steel producers

0:36:28.280 --> 0:36:30.320
<v Speaker 1>and then let them down, and when to take steel

0:36:30.320 --> 0:36:33.520
<v Speaker 1>from China. It's bad on every front. I mean, it's

0:36:33.520 --> 0:36:35.640
<v Speaker 1>bad from the development of the state and the fact

0:36:35.680 --> 0:36:39.160
<v Speaker 1>that the Victoria's economy is not looking absolutely fabulous at

0:36:39.200 --> 0:36:41.839
<v Speaker 1>the moment. It's also really bad because these are meant

0:36:41.880 --> 0:36:43.960
<v Speaker 1>to be the people who are the big climate change

0:36:44.000 --> 0:36:46.840
<v Speaker 1>panic merchants, and who is pumping most of the carbon

0:36:46.880 --> 0:36:50.560
<v Speaker 1>dioxide into the global atmosphere, China, And how are they

0:36:50.600 --> 0:36:53.600
<v Speaker 1>doing it? Making steel? So let's buy their steel.

0:36:53.880 --> 0:36:56.880
<v Speaker 4>So I think the cheapest steel is.

0:36:56.880 --> 0:37:00.200
<v Speaker 3>Also less about I did not know this, but there's

0:37:00.320 --> 0:37:03.360
<v Speaker 3>different types of steel steel, and steel is steel steel,

0:37:03.440 --> 0:37:06.640
<v Speaker 3>but there's cheaper steel which is ractually not as good,

0:37:07.520 --> 0:37:11.200
<v Speaker 3>and so there's potentially you know, I don't think buildings

0:37:11.200 --> 0:37:12.680
<v Speaker 3>are going to fall over or whatever, but I know,

0:37:13.320 --> 0:37:19.719
<v Speaker 3>but first.

0:37:17.520 --> 0:37:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Ladies and gentlemen is already But even if it's a

0:37:21.120 --> 0:37:23.719
<v Speaker 1>good quality steel, it will still cost less, and the

0:37:23.760 --> 0:37:27.239
<v Speaker 1>locals can produce it because it's paid made by people

0:37:27.239 --> 0:37:30.040
<v Speaker 1>who are being paid a pittance or else slave labor,

0:37:30.080 --> 0:37:32.560
<v Speaker 1>wigas or something or other. So the Chinese are going

0:37:32.600 --> 0:37:34.560
<v Speaker 1>to be able to undersell us. And I understand the

0:37:34.640 --> 0:37:37.239
<v Speaker 1>Victorian government's got a big debt, a rather large debt,

0:37:37.400 --> 0:37:39.879
<v Speaker 1>so they might want to buy the cheap steel, but

0:37:39.920 --> 0:37:42.160
<v Speaker 1>at some point they've got to think about their economy

0:37:42.400 --> 0:37:45.600
<v Speaker 1>and their manufacturers and the promises they made, which they

0:37:45.600 --> 0:37:47.920
<v Speaker 1>don't seem prepared to do. The other big story on

0:37:47.920 --> 0:37:51.200
<v Speaker 1>the front page is called slug for Developers. Developers are

0:37:51.239 --> 0:37:54.400
<v Speaker 1>set to be slugged millions in new charges amid an

0:37:54.480 --> 0:37:58.440
<v Speaker 1>overhaul of the state's infrastructure scheme. There is a scheme

0:37:58.440 --> 0:38:01.640
<v Speaker 1>where when a new house development is open, then the

0:38:01.680 --> 0:38:03.080
<v Speaker 1>people are going to make a lot of money out

0:38:03.120 --> 0:38:04.960
<v Speaker 1>of it. They have to buy a percentage to the

0:38:04.960 --> 0:38:07.640
<v Speaker 1>government and that money is used to put in infrastructure.

0:38:07.800 --> 0:38:09.719
<v Speaker 1>They're getting very worried that it's not going to be

0:38:09.800 --> 0:38:12.880
<v Speaker 1>done properly. They're seeking a guarantee that the money raised

0:38:13.000 --> 0:38:17.000
<v Speaker 1>we'll actually go into infrastructure, and they're worried that every developer,

0:38:17.040 --> 0:38:18.879
<v Speaker 1>big and small, will end up being slugged this sort

0:38:18.920 --> 0:38:22.520
<v Speaker 1>of money. It really is as though the Victorian government

0:38:22.560 --> 0:38:25.279
<v Speaker 1>is sitting there saying, who don't we like I know,

0:38:25.560 --> 0:38:27.560
<v Speaker 1>we don't like people in business, can we?

0:38:27.640 --> 0:38:29.920
<v Speaker 2>It so bizarre because we are in the middle of

0:38:29.920 --> 0:38:32.840
<v Speaker 2>a housing crisis. We need these developers. We want to

0:38:32.880 --> 0:38:36.280
<v Speaker 2>make life as easy for them as possible. The government

0:38:36.320 --> 0:38:39.560
<v Speaker 2>can't do their job. They need developers. Why would you

0:38:39.680 --> 0:38:43.440
<v Speaker 2>keep making life harder for them? It's just unconscionable. And

0:38:43.480 --> 0:38:46.600
<v Speaker 2>now they're floating a new working group to partner with

0:38:46.640 --> 0:38:49.360
<v Speaker 2>the government to make some sense out of this because

0:38:49.400 --> 0:38:52.520
<v Speaker 2>the industry and the government have been unable to agree

0:38:52.840 --> 0:38:57.200
<v Speaker 2>on a model, therefore unable to move forward and get

0:38:57.239 --> 0:39:00.239
<v Speaker 2>these developments off the ground. How much more tax fan

0:39:00.320 --> 0:39:03.000
<v Speaker 2>money is going into this new model and the work

0:39:03.840 --> 0:39:05.680
<v Speaker 2>and more consultant.

0:39:05.200 --> 0:39:06.759
<v Speaker 4>So you do need to have a level so that's good.

0:39:07.160 --> 0:39:08.759
<v Speaker 3>You do need to have an infrastructure levy because what

0:39:08.840 --> 0:39:10.719
<v Speaker 3>was happening beforehand and New Soap I's got the same

0:39:10.719 --> 0:39:13.680
<v Speaker 3>thing as well, is that all these developers were coming

0:39:13.719 --> 0:39:16.520
<v Speaker 3>in building all this housing and then suddenly there weren't

0:39:16.640 --> 0:39:19.080
<v Speaker 3>enough schools to take care of it. There weren't enough

0:39:19.080 --> 0:39:21.359
<v Speaker 3>parks and playgrounds, in the areas for all these young

0:39:21.400 --> 0:39:25.960
<v Speaker 3>families who were the city plan and the roads that

0:39:26.080 --> 0:39:27.759
<v Speaker 3>need to get people in and out, you know, so

0:39:28.160 --> 0:39:30.520
<v Speaker 3>there were some new developments where it was just instant

0:39:30.880 --> 0:39:34.000
<v Speaker 3>car park, instant gridlock because the infrastructure wasn't there. So

0:39:34.200 --> 0:39:36.920
<v Speaker 3>the whole idea of this is that taxpayers, you know, developers,

0:39:36.960 --> 0:39:38.719
<v Speaker 3>make a motter out of all of these houses and

0:39:38.760 --> 0:39:40.439
<v Speaker 3>then just go thank you very much for walk away,

0:39:40.440 --> 0:39:42.440
<v Speaker 3>and the government has to pay for all the stuff

0:39:42.560 --> 0:39:46.040
<v Speaker 3>that makes those houses viable, enables people to literally get

0:39:46.080 --> 0:39:48.439
<v Speaker 3>to and from them. But the problem is, of course,

0:39:48.480 --> 0:39:52.040
<v Speaker 3>is that Victoria is now making it even more onerous.

0:39:52.239 --> 0:39:53.160
<v Speaker 4>It would seem to.

0:39:53.200 --> 0:39:56.400
<v Speaker 3>Build developers as part of a sort of cash grab

0:39:56.760 --> 0:39:59.600
<v Speaker 3>because they are just so broke right in the middle

0:39:59.640 --> 0:40:03.719
<v Speaker 3>of a house crisis where every other jurisdiction is desperately

0:40:03.800 --> 0:40:07.640
<v Speaker 3>trying to just cut anything resembling red tape to get houses.

0:40:07.840 --> 0:40:11.200
<v Speaker 2>But what you've just described is the process for when

0:40:11.239 --> 0:40:13.600
<v Speaker 2>you want to develop. I'm a developer and I go

0:40:13.640 --> 0:40:17.120
<v Speaker 2>to the state or local government sometimes both, and I say,

0:40:17.120 --> 0:40:19.680
<v Speaker 2>this is my development. That is all the stuff, all

0:40:19.680 --> 0:40:22.879
<v Speaker 2>the boxes that they tick before they approve it. So

0:40:22.960 --> 0:40:25.640
<v Speaker 2>all of that is already built into the current processes.

0:40:25.840 --> 0:40:27.240
<v Speaker 2>I simply don't see the needs.

0:40:27.239 --> 0:40:29.400
<v Speaker 3>So that velvets say, okay, so how much can you

0:40:29.400 --> 0:40:31.279
<v Speaker 3>build your houseful it say that just pull it out

0:40:31.320 --> 0:40:32.959
<v Speaker 3>of there. We can build each house for two hundred

0:40:33.000 --> 0:40:36.160
<v Speaker 3>thousand dollars. And the government says yes, but for each

0:40:36.440 --> 0:40:38.560
<v Speaker 3>ten houses that you build, you need to have a

0:40:38.600 --> 0:40:41.080
<v Speaker 3>park on the corner, and you need to have blah

0:40:41.080 --> 0:40:41.720
<v Speaker 3>blah blah blah.

0:40:42.560 --> 0:40:45.440
<v Speaker 1>It's cash. They're actually asking for a cash, Libby, and

0:40:45.440 --> 0:40:51.040
<v Speaker 1>that's wrong. Really, that's it. It won't end up being

0:40:51.080 --> 0:40:53.480
<v Speaker 1>spent on schools and whatever. It will end up. Oh,

0:40:53.640 --> 0:40:54.359
<v Speaker 1>just dribbling back.

0:40:55.719 --> 0:40:57.920
<v Speaker 3>We want to make sure that the money we're paying

0:40:58.000 --> 0:41:00.680
<v Speaker 3>for this local infrastructure is actually going on that and

0:41:00.719 --> 0:41:02.080
<v Speaker 3>you're not just using it to.

0:41:02.040 --> 0:41:05.200
<v Speaker 4>Pay for I don't know, the Commonwealth games, Joe.

0:41:05.239 --> 0:41:06.360
<v Speaker 1>We've had enough of Melbourne.

0:41:07.440 --> 0:41:08.720
<v Speaker 4>Let's head not to the beautiful.

0:41:08.760 --> 0:41:10.839
<v Speaker 3>This is the only story I care about, and it's

0:41:10.960 --> 0:41:13.520
<v Speaker 3>just whatever the hell is going on with the mayor

0:41:13.560 --> 0:41:14.319
<v Speaker 3>of Townsville.

0:41:14.360 --> 0:41:15.279
<v Speaker 4>This story.

0:41:17.719 --> 0:41:20.680
<v Speaker 3>With absolutely everybody is at war with his own counsel,

0:41:20.880 --> 0:41:24.000
<v Speaker 3>the zo whatever. He just won't leave for some reason.

0:41:24.280 --> 0:41:26.040
<v Speaker 3>Everyone's trying to get rid of him. No one seems

0:41:26.040 --> 0:41:26.960
<v Speaker 3>to be able to manage it.

0:41:27.520 --> 0:41:28.479
<v Speaker 4>But anyway, so.

0:41:28.800 --> 0:41:32.480
<v Speaker 3>The Townsville bought in great paper. It doesn't know. It

0:41:32.560 --> 0:41:34.120
<v Speaker 3>just sort of doesn't know what to do with this

0:41:34.200 --> 0:41:36.480
<v Speaker 3>story anymore. This guy's is not going anywhere. All it

0:41:36.560 --> 0:41:38.480
<v Speaker 3>knows is that they have to put him on the

0:41:38.480 --> 0:41:41.280
<v Speaker 3>front page every single time, and they print the newspaper

0:41:41.480 --> 0:41:45.640
<v Speaker 3>his photo that inset is on the front page every

0:41:45.640 --> 0:41:48.440
<v Speaker 3>single day. Come hell of high water until this bloke guys,

0:41:48.480 --> 0:41:51.080
<v Speaker 3>and this time the story they've built around it is

0:41:51.160 --> 0:41:55.360
<v Speaker 3>and this is quite amazing with Townsville's mayor, the reverse

0:41:55.440 --> 0:41:58.480
<v Speaker 3>kicker says, with Townsville mayor's midnight deadline now passed to

0:41:58.560 --> 0:41:59.840
<v Speaker 3>prove why he should stay.

0:41:59.640 --> 0:42:01.880
<v Speaker 4>At the top job. Right, so there's another deadlight has passed.

0:42:02.000 --> 0:42:05.040
<v Speaker 3>Nothing's happened. It's up to our likely new premiere, David

0:42:05.080 --> 0:42:05.760
<v Speaker 3>Christa Fooley.

0:42:05.840 --> 0:42:09.719
<v Speaker 4>It's your move, says they head problem. So how is

0:42:09.760 --> 0:42:10.759
<v Speaker 4>this for? I think?

0:42:11.000 --> 0:42:15.520
<v Speaker 3>Stephen Miles has questioned whether David Christa Fooley will follow

0:42:15.600 --> 0:42:20.440
<v Speaker 3>through on discipline reaction towards Townsville Mayor Troy Thompson if

0:42:20.520 --> 0:42:24.280
<v Speaker 3>the LNP are elected this weekend, hinting that the city's

0:42:24.320 --> 0:42:29.000
<v Speaker 3>embattled leader could be out the door before Saturday. So

0:42:29.040 --> 0:42:33.360
<v Speaker 3>Stephn Miles's question whether David Christa Fooley will follow through

0:42:34.000 --> 0:42:37.080
<v Speaker 3>on disciplined reaction towards the mayor Troy Thompson if he

0:42:37.160 --> 0:42:39.320
<v Speaker 3>says or elected this week, hinting that the city's in

0:42:39.360 --> 0:42:42.400
<v Speaker 3>battled leader could be out the door before Saturday.

0:42:43.040 --> 0:42:51.160
<v Speaker 1>So on Saturday, no coming.

0:42:52.200 --> 0:42:56.200
<v Speaker 2>While Joe gets his blood pressure under wraps, let's go

0:42:56.280 --> 0:43:01.279
<v Speaker 2>to the Australian quickly. Job losses marked by economy. More

0:43:01.320 --> 0:43:04.680
<v Speaker 2>than ninety thousand jobs have been shared in hospitality over

0:43:04.680 --> 0:43:08.480
<v Speaker 2>the past year, twenty six thousand lost in wholesale trades

0:43:08.520 --> 0:43:13.520
<v Speaker 2>and six thousand in manufacturings, but taxpayer funded quote care

0:43:13.680 --> 0:43:18.279
<v Speaker 2>economy end quote roles have masked the losses, driving a

0:43:18.480 --> 0:43:22.319
<v Speaker 2>three hundred and seventy five thousand jump in jobs being

0:43:22.440 --> 0:43:25.360
<v Speaker 2>created Across the last financial year. There were one hundred

0:43:25.400 --> 0:43:29.080
<v Speaker 2>and seventy one thousand jobs filled in health and social assistance,

0:43:29.160 --> 0:43:34.240
<v Speaker 2>sixty three thousand in public administration, and forty seven thousand

0:43:34.280 --> 0:43:38.440
<v Speaker 2>in education and training. So this article goes on to

0:43:38.480 --> 0:43:41.959
<v Speaker 2>say that approximately two thirds of the jobs created under

0:43:41.960 --> 0:43:47.120
<v Speaker 2>the Albanese government a public sector. They're public sector, so

0:43:47.160 --> 0:43:50.000
<v Speaker 2>they're making jobs and just being like that there's no

0:43:50.160 --> 0:43:54.720
<v Speaker 2>jobs lost. Look, we're actually doing quite well. There's tens

0:43:54.920 --> 0:43:59.680
<v Speaker 2>of thousands. You inspire me every day, Joe. Meanwhile, there's

0:43:59.719 --> 0:44:03.960
<v Speaker 2>ten of thousands of jobs missing out of hospitality, out

0:44:03.960 --> 0:44:08.080
<v Speaker 2>of manufacturing and other sectors, and they're just masking it

0:44:08.120 --> 0:44:10.400
<v Speaker 2>with like, oh, don't worry, we the government keep on

0:44:10.480 --> 0:44:15.279
<v Speaker 2>employing people. So unemployment is down and everything's hunky doing

0:44:15.320 --> 0:44:17.239
<v Speaker 2>to see here it is so deceitful.

0:44:17.360 --> 0:44:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, what they're saying is we found these people are

0:44:19.920 --> 0:44:22.520
<v Speaker 1>prepared to pay. Are the people who are going to

0:44:22.560 --> 0:44:25.400
<v Speaker 1>pay for these new workers in our jobs? Are you?

0:44:25.880 --> 0:44:27.880
<v Speaker 1>That's what your taxes are for so that we can

0:44:27.920 --> 0:44:28.800
<v Speaker 1>have good unemployment.

0:44:29.320 --> 0:44:32.200
<v Speaker 3>While obviously the admin of bureaucrats is pretty nauseating, but

0:44:32.239 --> 0:44:34.000
<v Speaker 3>most of these jobs are age care workers.

0:44:34.040 --> 0:44:35.360
<v Speaker 4>They are not bureaucrats.

0:44:35.400 --> 0:44:37.480
<v Speaker 3>They are people in the frontline care for and that

0:44:37.560 --> 0:44:39.879
<v Speaker 3>was the result of the Royal Commission, which we all

0:44:39.920 --> 0:44:41.880
<v Speaker 3>wanted them all want to see that things. And nurses

0:44:41.920 --> 0:44:45.360
<v Speaker 3>as well. There's another suite, so they are mostly proper

0:44:45.400 --> 0:44:48.080
<v Speaker 3>people on the frontline doing that stuff. But what they're

0:44:48.080 --> 0:44:52.319
<v Speaker 3>saying is private this they have to do it right,

0:44:52.400 --> 0:44:54.840
<v Speaker 3>but it is it is true that the private economy

0:44:55.080 --> 0:44:56.359
<v Speaker 3>is struggling at the same time.

0:44:56.440 --> 0:44:59.880
<v Speaker 2>I hope labor pay you handsomely Joe for your loyalty.

0:45:00.120 --> 0:45:03.040
<v Speaker 2>We'll be back right after the break to learn about

0:45:03.280 --> 0:45:06.480
<v Speaker 2>the Irish government telling all the expats here come back,

0:45:06.560 --> 0:45:09.120
<v Speaker 2>will make it worth you. While it's not going as

0:45:09.120 --> 0:45:16.879
<v Speaker 2>they planned, welcome back well. The Irish government is desperately

0:45:17.040 --> 0:45:21.240
<v Speaker 2>trying to lure back Irish expats enjoying the sun, sand

0:45:21.400 --> 0:45:25.720
<v Speaker 2>and beaches of Australia because they too have a massive

0:45:25.760 --> 0:45:28.239
<v Speaker 2>housing crisis in Ireland and are trying to get up

0:45:28.239 --> 0:45:32.200
<v Speaker 2>their supply by twenty thirty. So they've released this multi

0:45:32.360 --> 0:45:37.560
<v Speaker 2>billion dollar government plan to address their housing crisis, counting

0:45:37.600 --> 0:45:41.760
<v Speaker 2>on these expats loyalty to the Motherland to come home,

0:45:42.239 --> 0:45:45.359
<v Speaker 2>and it's met with nothing but backlash, with all the

0:45:45.440 --> 0:45:49.080
<v Speaker 2>Irish here being like mate, we are not leaving God's

0:45:49.160 --> 0:45:53.920
<v Speaker 2>country for the miserable weather and working conditions in Ireland.

0:45:54.320 --> 0:45:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Listening to, rather reading the responses by the Irish writing

0:45:59.640 --> 0:46:03.719
<v Speaker 2>on social media to their own government has been absolutely hilarious.

0:46:03.960 --> 0:46:08.120
<v Speaker 2>This is part of their campaign. You're built Sydney, now

0:46:08.320 --> 0:46:10.520
<v Speaker 2>come and build back home.

0:46:11.480 --> 0:46:13.200
<v Speaker 4>No one's interested, to be.

0:46:13.160 --> 0:46:15.320
<v Speaker 3>Fair, they only built Sydney because they were in chains

0:46:15.320 --> 0:46:18.560
<v Speaker 3>on convicts, on Irish Catholics.

0:46:18.600 --> 0:46:20.840
<v Speaker 4>So that's my background. And this government does not know

0:46:20.920 --> 0:46:21.640
<v Speaker 4>its own people.

0:46:21.760 --> 0:46:24.040
<v Speaker 3>You can't even get an Irishman to come home from

0:46:24.040 --> 0:46:27.560
<v Speaker 3>the pub the alone come home from Australia like they

0:46:27.600 --> 0:46:29.600
<v Speaker 3>are not once they're found they are just they're not

0:46:29.640 --> 0:46:30.160
<v Speaker 3>going anyway.

0:46:30.160 --> 0:46:31.920
<v Speaker 4>They don't even leave Bondi these days.

0:46:32.440 --> 0:46:35.439
<v Speaker 1>And they haven't finished building Sydney anyway, so they can't

0:46:35.520 --> 0:46:38.359
<v Speaker 1>leave yet. But you nailed it, Liz, because what they're

0:46:38.440 --> 0:46:41.240
<v Speaker 1>what they're really saying is you're living in this beautiful

0:46:41.280 --> 0:46:44.200
<v Speaker 1>city on the harbor, come home to a cold, wet,

0:46:44.480 --> 0:46:48.279
<v Speaker 1>miserable place with long nights and short days and do this. No,

0:46:48.440 --> 0:46:50.520
<v Speaker 1>of course they're not going to go not working.

0:46:50.680 --> 0:46:53.800
<v Speaker 2>Before we leave you tonight, just quickly. One Kamala Harris

0:46:53.800 --> 0:46:58.960
<v Speaker 2>supporter has found to eat dog food until Kamala Harris

0:46:59.560 --> 0:47:04.120
<v Speaker 2>is in the White House as president. I hope she

0:47:04.280 --> 0:47:11.920
<v Speaker 2>has a lot of supplies.

0:47:18.040 --> 0:47:18.520
<v Speaker 8>This is the.

0:47:18.480 --> 0:47:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Collective I Q of DEM voters. I am so.

0:47:22.080 --> 0:47:26.640
<v Speaker 4>Alarmed think this is healthy one.

0:47:29.400 --> 0:47:31.080
<v Speaker 2>The dogs faces as well.

0:47:31.640 --> 0:47:33.759
<v Speaker 1>She's won the cane iron vote, hasn't she. But I

0:47:33.760 --> 0:47:36.239
<v Speaker 1>think what she's doing is dangerous because the one thing

0:47:36.400 --> 0:47:38.360
<v Speaker 1>you always do, if you have I'm a dog person,

0:47:38.480 --> 0:47:40.680
<v Speaker 1>is you never take a dog's food.

0:47:41.640 --> 0:47:44.680
<v Speaker 2>If they're ever going to turn nasty, it's gonna be.

0:47:44.800 --> 0:47:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Then that's a wrap from us. Thanks for your company. Tonight,

0:47:48.239 --> 0:47:50.439
