Speaker 1: On scolds Australia.
Speaker 2: This is the Reader Panalty Show.
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panney Show.
Speaker 4: Coming up tonight, Melbourne labeled cold, broke and a terrible
Speaker 4: place to invest.
Speaker 3: I'll speak to Nick Kata about that.
Speaker 4: Shortly, Professor Ian Plymer on Matt Keane's latest.
Speaker 3: Claims about nuclear energy.
Speaker 4: We'll also have the latest from the US with Army Horowitz,
Speaker 4: including just how much more the Democrats are spending than
Speaker 4: the Trump campaign and later in the hour he is
Speaker 4: an absolute gem. We're thrilled to have Alex Epstein. He
Speaker 4: had to fact check some of the boldest lies told
Speaker 4: by mitzero activists and of course left he's losing it.
Speaker 5: What's more dangerous? Straight white conservative men or axe murderers?
Speaker 3: A straight white conservative man?
Speaker 5: Why is he more dangerous?
Speaker 1: Because they're capable of doing anything.
Speaker 3: They're crazy.
Speaker 5: We'll make them crazy.
Speaker 3: They're wait.
Speaker 4: But first, King Charles and Queen Camilla's royal to where
Speaker 4: of Australia has come to an end.
Speaker 3: They farewelled Sydney this morning.
Speaker 4: Crowds have flocked to us see the royal couple during
Speaker 4: their visits to Canberra and Sydney. During their final full
Speaker 4: day in Australia, the King and Queen took part in
Speaker 4: a community barbecue in Parramatta before heading over to the
Speaker 4: Sydney Opera House, where they were greeted by hundreds of fans.
Speaker 3: They observed a military display around Sydney.
Speaker 4: Harbor, and after being on her feet for almost the
Speaker 4: entire day, Queen Camilla was seen carrying her heels as
Speaker 4: she returned to Admiralty House barefoot. You've got to love that.
Speaker 4: She should have stayed on for the Melbourne Cup. That's
Speaker 4: what all the ladies do there. The visit, as we know,
Speaker 4: was not without controversy. We'll discuss Lydia Thorpe a little
Speaker 4: more later, but there was also that damage, and there
Speaker 4: has been a development there with a man being charged
Speaker 4: with malicious damage after Sydney's iconic Queen Victoria statue was
Speaker 4: defaced with red pain.
Speaker 3: Let's get a senior fellow.
Speaker 4: At the Menzies Research Center, Nick Kater, into her discuss
Speaker 4: the latest news of the day.
Speaker 3: Nick.
Speaker 4: Lydia Thorpe did certainly still many of the headlines during
Speaker 4: this royal tour. What were your feelings about King Charles
Speaker 4: and Queen Kimilla.
Speaker 6: I was smitten. I have to say, Rita, I was
Speaker 6: in the crowd on Sunday looking at them from a
Speaker 6: great distance. As close as I got. I didn't get
Speaker 6: to meet the King or the Queen, but look, I
Speaker 6: think it was terrific they were here. I mean for
Speaker 6: those of us. In fact, I guess almost everybody who's
Speaker 6: watching this program would only have known one monarch, and
Speaker 6: that was Queen Elizabeth. And we all were nervous about
Speaker 6: the transition of power, how that would go, because we've
Speaker 6: never seen it before, but it's gone seamlessly. And to
Speaker 6: have King here, the King here, was just to put
Speaker 6: the stamp on that. So I'm very much grateful that
Speaker 6: his Majesty came. And you're hearing from a convinced royalist.
Speaker 6: Jim mononkis chair, Rita, So I'm afraid that's about the
Speaker 6: best I can say.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I'm interested in your thoughts on Senator Lydia
Speaker 4: Thorpe because her antics are still being debated and criticized,
Speaker 4: as I her demands, because it wasn't just a stunt.
Speaker 4: She does have a list.
Speaker 3: Of demands she once met.
Speaker 4: And she has been criticized for being an enthusiastic participant
Speaker 4: a beneficiary of the system she claims to hate. And
Speaker 4: not only is she senator in the Australian Parliament on
Speaker 4: her healthy salary, fantastic benefits, but she's also a regular
Speaker 4: nick in the ultra exclusive quantus Chairman's Lounge. Now, how
Speaker 4: does she reconcile that with her thoughts on Australia.
Speaker 6: Well, you've got to remember, Rita that the Chairman's Club
Speaker 6: always was and always will be ourboriginal land, sovereignty, never
Speaker 6: seed it. So it's actually lucky that she.
Speaker 7: Lets the rest of us in it.
Speaker 6: Course. But look, I mean, I'm really astounded that the
Speaker 6: Senate cannot get together and vote her out because she
Speaker 6: did take a loyal oath when she came into office,
Speaker 6: all bit through gritted teeth, to the Sovereign, to the Crown,
Speaker 6: and she's clearly disobeyed that and clearly shown that she
Speaker 6: didn't mean that one inch by her outrageous behavior on
Speaker 6: the in this week. I mean, this very unkempt, unprincipled
Speaker 6: woman stands up and starts screaming senities at the King,
Speaker 6: and she is a member of our Parliament. I'm embarrassed
Speaker 6: by that, quite frankly, and I think the Senate. I'm
Speaker 6: surprised that the Senate doesn't seem to think it's got
Speaker 6: the powers to actually get her out or make her
Speaker 6: accountable for that, because they should.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 4: I know she's got plenty of criticism, and rightly so,
Speaker 4: but I do think she will see this week as
Speaker 4: a win. She has had enormous coverage overseas, particularly in
Speaker 4: the British media, and there'll be plenty of Republicans here
Speaker 4: who might quietly agree with some of her points, which
Speaker 4: tells you more about them. I guess now I'm going
Speaker 4: to play some painful footage. Painful for Victorians.
Speaker 3: Nick.
Speaker 4: Here are some folk in Glasgow telling Harold Sun reporter
Speaker 4: knew he just how happy they are that long suffering
Speaker 4: Victorian taxpayers are paying for their Commonwealth games.
Speaker 6: We've been executive the opportunity and how to develop the
Speaker 6: people testity.
Speaker 3: Yeah, together, it's give them the place a little buzz here.
Speaker 4: I'm really exciting to have something actually in Scotland than
Speaker 4: something to travel elsewhere.
Speaker 2: I think it's very good for the city. Most of
Speaker 2: that quet number of people about to visit the city.
Speaker 2: That's pretty bringing for an income.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure it'll be great for them.
Speaker 4: I'm sure it'll be fantastic to have all the tourists
Speaker 4: and the locals enjoying the Commonwealth.
Speaker 3: Games that we've paid for.
Speaker 4: Victorians have played around six hundred million in total, and
Speaker 4: around two hundred million of that going to Glasgow to
Speaker 4: actually hold the games.
Speaker 3: The state's not in a good place, Nick.
Speaker 6: No, it's not, you said the introduction of the show's
Speaker 6: cold and broke and unbankable, and it's certainly cold. I
Speaker 6: always find it cold, and I was either whether not
Speaker 6: being too kind you down there at the moment. And
Speaker 6: it's got one hundred and fifty six billion dollars state
Speaker 6: debt and that's going to rise to almost one hundred
Speaker 6: and ninety billion by twenty twenty eight. And no wonder
Speaker 6: because they keep throwing money around like confetti and then
Speaker 6: end up you know, oh they decided they didn't want
Speaker 6: the games after all, but they've still got to pay
Speaker 6: money to Scotland. It's disgraceful. And you know, Dan Andrews
Speaker 6: is the mystery to me is anybody ever voted for him?
Speaker 6: But plainly people down there there did. Perhaps the cold
Speaker 6: gets to their heads or something. But you know, he
Speaker 6: is what he is and I just think that which
Speaker 6: is desperate for an opposition that can turn itself open
Speaker 6: to a government, well, I.
Speaker 3: Think you just hit the nail on the head.
Speaker 4: Then he got re elected, not only because he was
Speaker 4: a skillful politician, but he had no opposition. And I
Speaker 4: think people look at Victorians like were some sort of
Speaker 4: a freak show.
Speaker 3: But when you've got a.
Speaker 4: Completely spineless, principleless hopeless opposition, then you do have the
Speaker 4: other side elected quite easily. Now, one of Australia's top
Speaker 4: property developers, him Gerner, has weighed in on Victoria's housing
Speaker 4: crisis and the dire state of Melbourne. He told the
Speaker 4: Australian Financial Review that the strong consensus in other states
Speaker 4: is that Victoria is broke, it's cold, and your property
Speaker 4: prices don't go up.
Speaker 3: While would you invest in Melbourne when there's been next.
Speaker 4: To zero capital growth and the state has a massive
Speaker 4: debt problem. But Nick Gernar is supportive of the stamp
Speaker 4: duty discount being offered by the just to Alan government,
Speaker 4: saying it'd give investors a reason to consider the city again.
Speaker 4: But I've got to say I'm going to disagree. I
Speaker 4: think this is an absolute travesty. I wrote about this
Speaker 4: in Today's Herald's Son The entire scheme seems to be
Speaker 4: hair braining these towers that are going to be building
Speaker 4: along train stations, but just on this stamp duty discount.
Speaker 3: It's just so unfair.
Speaker 4: On the face of it, a family buying a brand new,
Speaker 4: modestly priced house and land package out in the suburbs
Speaker 4: to live in white qualify for that discount. But you
Speaker 4: might have someone who's buying a penthouse off the plan
Speaker 4: for three million dollars that they plan to rent out
Speaker 4: and they will qualify for the discounts. It seems to
Speaker 4: be designed just to entice people to buy off the
Speaker 4: plan apartments, something that hasn't been a fantastic investment in
Speaker 4: recent years.
Speaker 6: Nick, Yeah, yeah, I mean that's right. Land Act is
Speaker 6: incredibly unfair form of taxation. All forms of taxation are
Speaker 6: unfair in my view, but this is particularly unfair because
Speaker 6: you're taxing people on unrealized capital gains essentially, and as
Speaker 6: you're right in saying that if you build a sixty
Speaker 6: story tail block, if you were to build such a
Speaker 6: thing in Melbourne and stick lots of apartments in there,
Speaker 6: the land tax per unit to be relatively low. But
Speaker 6: if you've got an elderly person who's living in the
Speaker 6: family home or they've got a boarder investment property out
Speaker 6: there in the suburbs on a quarter acre block of land,
Speaker 6: then they're in for real, real trouble. And it does
Speaker 6: punish people very hard, people that have script and saved
Speaker 6: to pay off them more it is get themselves a
Speaker 6: property or investment property. They're the ones being punished by this,
Speaker 6: and it's just a very unfair way of doing it.
Speaker 6: Stamp duty is not great, by the way, but this
Speaker 6: is not the way to get rid of stamp duty.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: This is just a scheme that they're introducing to make
Speaker 4: it more attractive to buy of the plan, but it
Speaker 4: doesn't extend to buying off the plan for a house.
Speaker 4: It's only really for units apartments. And they're going to
Speaker 4: nick by building these towers on train stations across Melbourne
Speaker 4: without consultation, without much of a planning process, so they're
Speaker 4: going to completely change the character of those suburbs. And
Speaker 4: the locals have invested and have got their home as
Speaker 4: their biggest investment or obviously fairly irate about that. And
Speaker 4: it's not a surprise most of those train stations are
Speaker 4: in liberal areas, not that there's that many of them
Speaker 4: left in the city.
Speaker 3: Now. I'm interested in a piece.
Speaker 4: You wrote for The Australian newspaper about the real reasons
Speaker 4: behind Australia's declining birth rate. Australian National University demographer Is
Speaker 4: Alan told the Sydney Morning Herald that it's housing affordability,
Speaker 4: economic insecurity, gender inequality and climate boiling. That's the reason.
Speaker 4: But you point the birth rate has been falling since
Speaker 4: nineteen fifty nine, when the average house in Sydney was
Speaker 4: less than ten thousand dollars in today's money one hundred
Speaker 4: and eighty two thousand dollars in today's money ten thousand
Speaker 4: dollars back then. So what is the real reason behind
Speaker 4: our birth rate plumbating?
Speaker 6: Well, serious democracies really can't tell you because there's so
Speaker 6: many factors here. It is possible that housing may deter
Speaker 6: people to some extent from having children, but it's far
Speaker 6: from the only reason, because when you look at it,
Speaker 6: this is a trend that's been going on since the
Speaker 6: late fifties early sixties in the entire world. Right even
Speaker 6: in places like Thailand, they are now way below our
Speaker 6: birth rate and way below replacement level, even though they
Speaker 6: had a birth rate of six in the nineteen sixties.
Speaker 6: So everywhere except Sub Saharan Africa, birth rates have fall
Speaker 6: and off a cliff and are continuing to fall. And
Speaker 6: so contrary to what the environmentalists have been telling us
Speaker 6: for the last fifty years that were in trouble because
Speaker 6: there's too many people, the fact is there's too few people.
Speaker 6: That's a real problem. And there's a problem with obviously
Speaker 6: assuredage of labor around the world, not just here. And
Speaker 6: it seems to me extraordinary that so few serious politicians
Speaker 6: or policymakers have even mentioned this, let alone worked out
Speaker 6: what we do about it, because we have got to
Speaker 6: do something about it, sooner or later. We can't keep
Speaker 6: making up for it in immigration.
Speaker 4: Well, that seems to be the fix, isn't it. That's
Speaker 4: the band Aida method that they have used. We did
Speaker 4: have that have a baby for the country under the
Speaker 4: Howard government, didn't we We had the baby bonus and Peter
Speaker 4: Costello remember that work picture with him with all the
Speaker 4: newborn babies that did work.
Speaker 3: We saw a bit of a spike there they were.
Speaker 7: I do like it.
Speaker 6: Hung Yeah, a spike that came off at about twenty
Speaker 6: ten it started to decline again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it. I do like Hungry's approach.
Speaker 4: They give a massive lifetime discount to mothers for the
Speaker 4: number of babies that have So if you have one child,
Speaker 4: twenty five percent discount of your income tax for life.
Speaker 4: If you have four, forget about income tax, you're not
Speaker 4: paying it. And that's seen their birth rate at skyrockett.
Speaker 4: They've got a few other measures to boost it as well.
Speaker 4: So yes, something to think about. Nikata, Thanks so much
Speaker 4: for your time tonight, Thank you.
Speaker 8: Rider.
Speaker 4: Joining me now is leading geologist and author Professor Ian Plymer,
Speaker 4: and let's start with Prime Minister Anthony Albernizi and Foreign
Speaker 4: Minister Pennywong.
Speaker 3: They're heading off to.
Speaker 4: Samoa for the twenty twenty four Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting,
Speaker 4: which King Charles will also be attending. And it seems
Speaker 4: Australia is about to experience another climate shakedown with Pacific
Speaker 4: nations putting pressure on Australia over fossil fuel exports.
Speaker 3: How much is this trip going to cost us, Professor, Well.
Speaker 8: It's going to cost us a huge amount of money. Secondly,
Speaker 8: it's going to cost us a lot of credibility.
Speaker 7: Here.
Speaker 8: We have two people from the Australian government and they're
Speaker 8: entourage who are flying there now unless they're going to
Speaker 8: swim from Manly Beach across this somehow, and they're going
Speaker 8: to be using a lot of fossil fuels.
Speaker 2: To get there.
Speaker 8: And these fossil fuels, some of the South Pacific Island
Speaker 8: islanders claim putting carbon dioxide.
Speaker 3: In the air.
Speaker 8: This is warming the climate and the sea level is rising. Well,
Speaker 8: that's contrary to data that we've had since eighteen forty
Speaker 8: two on this part of the world. It's contrary to
Speaker 8: what we know about carbon dioxide. So I think this
Speaker 8: is yet again a massive display of hypocrisy, and yet
Speaker 8: again our Prime Minister running away from problems in Australia
Speaker 8: and gallivanting somewhere else around the world.
Speaker 4: And I fear that the checkbook will come out at
Speaker 4: some point during this trip. So let's just brace ourselves
Speaker 4: for that now. The chair of Labour's Climate Change Authority,
Speaker 4: Matt Keane for Liberal Treasure of New South Wales, has
Speaker 4: lashed out at nuclear energy advocates, accusing them of being
Speaker 4: delay mongers who are trying to prevent renewables from succeeding.
Speaker 4: He labeled a push for nuclear and more gas as
Speaker 4: and I quote, an illiberal drive to intervene in the
Speaker 4: market led energy transition. And he also went on to
Speaker 4: say that the delay mongers have latched onto nuclear power
Speaker 4: despite the overwhelming evidence that he can only drive up
Speaker 4: energy bills, can only be more expensive, and can only
Speaker 4: take too long to build. This in a cost of
Speaker 4: living crisis. It seems to me that people calling for
Speaker 4: gas to be included in the capacity investment scheme are
Speaker 4: trying to stop renewables in are very very interested in
Speaker 4: your response to Matt Keane's claims.
Speaker 8: There, Well, this is just Sheer's stupidity. Mister Keane should
Speaker 8: know that when Finland put in its reactions the latest reactors,
Speaker 8: the cost of electricity went down and the retailer and
Speaker 8: the wholesaler also had lower costs. So we have evidence.
Speaker 8: Very recently, we've just had the Page Research Center do
Speaker 8: a study on the cost of energy. This was done
Speaker 8: by Gerrard Holland, and he looked at solar and wind,
Speaker 8: he looked at nuclear, looked at gas, and looked at coal.
Speaker 8: By far the most expensive energy in Australia. Is solar
Speaker 8: and wind. This is when you look at the total costs,
Speaker 8: the land use changes, the putting in the new power lines,
Speaker 8: et cetera, Nuclear is quite cheap compared with that, Gas
Speaker 8: is also cheap, as his coal coals the cheapest, and
Speaker 8: that's because we already have the infrastructure for coal. Now,
Speaker 8: what mister Keane doesn't say is that sol and wind
Speaker 8: are not reliable, whereas nuclear, gas and coal are reliable.
Speaker 8: What he doesn't say is that sol and wind have
Speaker 8: a very short life, less than twenty years, whereas nuclear
Speaker 8: is at least sixty years for a nuclear power plant.
Speaker 8: It's more than forty years for gas, more than fifty
Speaker 8: years for coal. What he doesn't say is that our
Speaker 8: future demands for energy are going to increase enormously. We're
Speaker 8: already using ten percent of energy for data centers with AI,
Speaker 8: it's going to be a lot higher. And what he's
Speaker 8: really saying is that the practical economics of the nuclear
Speaker 8: lobby groups are starting to frighten people. The practical economics
Speaker 8: of the gas groups are starting to frighten the wind
Speaker 8: and solar people. These are the cheapest and most reliable
Speaker 8: and best forms of energy we can have in a
Speaker 8: country like Australia. And so we've got all these foreign
Speaker 8: corporations who are running the solar and running the wind,
Speaker 8: who are lining up for their subsidies, and the subsidies
Speaker 8: make the energy renewable. The subsidies say keep getting renewed.
Speaker 8: And he's getting worried that the whistle's going to get
Speaker 8: blown on this. And we can see around the world
Speaker 8: that we can have cheap, reliable energy for very long
Speaker 8: periods of time from nuclear. So I recommend that viewers
Speaker 8: look at Gerard Holland's report from the Page Research Center.
Speaker 8: He aired these findings at the AIC conference on Tuesday,
Speaker 8: and these are showing that we are going down the
Speaker 8: wrong path. We've got far too many vested interests who
Speaker 8: are whisperinging mister Keynes here. He doesn't understand the fundamentals
Speaker 8: of energy generation, and he doesn't understand the fundamental weaknesses
Speaker 8: of solar and wind.
Speaker 4: And I do love the comment he has here about
Speaker 4: the illiberal drive to intervene in the market led energy transition.
Speaker 3: But what do they do so much exactly?
Speaker 4: There has been so much market manipulation subsidies to pretend
Speaker 4: that this is something that's being led by the market,
Speaker 4: it's purely organic, is just wishful thinking. I've got an
Speaker 4: early Lefty losing it for you. It's from the New
Speaker 4: Zealand Greens.
Speaker 6: Coal, don't dig it, live in the ground, get with it.
Speaker 4: I don't know what to say, But what do you
Speaker 4: say to the New Zealand Greens this, Prefessor Pliman.
Speaker 8: I think they've been taking some of Kamala House scripts
Speaker 8: and talking from them. I have no idea what they're
Speaker 8: talking about. But what we do know is that the
Speaker 8: New Zealand coals on the west coast of South Island
Speaker 8: exceptionally clean, very high calorific value, very low ash and
Speaker 8: upprised coals. New Zealand does have energy from other sources
Speaker 8: from oil and gas in the Taranaki base, and some
Speaker 8: get thermal energy. That the New Zealand colls are some
Speaker 8: of the best in the world. I have no idea
Speaker 8: what they're trying to say, except that perhaps they want
Speaker 8: New Zealand to become even more backward.
Speaker 4: I think that would actually enjoy that very much, Professor
Speaker 4: im Plymer, thank you so much for your time this evening.
Speaker 4: Thank you still to came a bumper edition of Lefties
Speaker 4: Losing It and Army. Horowetz joins me with these laters
Speaker 4: from the US, including just how much more are the
Speaker 4: Democrats spending compared to Donald Trump?
Speaker 3: Welcome back. Now it's time for lefties losing it.
Speaker 4: And here is some great advice from Kamala Harris telling
Speaker 4: US supporters to be just like Jimmy Carter go out
Speaker 4: and vote early, followed by mad cackling naturally.
Speaker 3: So look, it's Jimmy Carter. You can vote early. You
Speaker 3: can do. Jimmy Carter voted early.
Speaker 4: We did have the Washington Post claiming he's very excited
Speaker 4: about Kamala.
Speaker 3: Let's check in on Jimmy Carter.
Speaker 4: This is the former president on his one hundredth birthday,
Speaker 4: just a few weeks ago, enjoying, hopefully enjoying a military flyover.
Speaker 4: I mean, really, shame on his family for putting him
Speaker 4: on display in that state. Whatever you think of Emi
Speaker 4: was a former president, he deserves a little dignity. You
Speaker 4: think his family would be watching out for him. Joe
Speaker 4: Biden's family has been accused of elder abuse over.
Speaker 3: The years, but then you hear a speech like this.
Speaker 4: From Joe and you suddenly stop feeling sorry for him.
Speaker 4: Before the cognitive decline. He was a dishonest scrote and
Speaker 4: he's still a dishonest scrote. Here he is earlier today
Speaker 4: expressing a desire to lock up Donald Trump.
Speaker 9: He means it.
Speaker 3: This is not a joke.
Speaker 9: This the guy who also wants to replace every civil servant,
Speaker 9: every single one. Thinks he has a raton of the
Speaker 9: Supreme Court ruling on immunity to be able to need
Speaker 9: me if it was the case to actually eliminate physically eliminate,
Speaker 9: should kill someone who is he needs to be a
Speaker 9: threat to him. I mean, so, I know this sounds bizarre.
Speaker 9: It sounds like I said this five years ago. You
Speaker 9: locked me up. We gotta like him up.
Speaker 4: If you like him. Did he just claim that Donald
Speaker 4: Trump wants to shoot and kill someone he.
Speaker 3: Perceives as a threat.
Speaker 4: Joe Biden is again inciting violence again, President Trump, and
Speaker 4: after two assassination attempts in two months, appalling.
Speaker 3: And now let's check in on the man.
Speaker 4: Who some various stuede observers believe has been the one
Speaker 4: pulling their puppet strings throughout the Biden Harris Administration's rain
Speaker 4: old mate Barack Obama just.
Speaker 3: Can't understand how we got so toxic.
Speaker 2: I don't understand how we got so toxic and just
Speaker 2: so divide and so better.
Speaker 3: And I get why sometimes people just don't want to
Speaker 3: pay attention to.
Speaker 4: The hoodspa of that man never fails to astoud. It's
Speaker 4: like an arsonist holding a match saying I don't understand
Speaker 4: why it's hot all of a sudden, where these flames
Speaker 4: come from?
Speaker 3: Look in the mirror, champ. Okay, I've tried to.
Speaker 4: Avoid this for as long as I can, but here
Speaker 4: is some local lefties losing it content Senator Lydia Thorpe
Speaker 4: launching into an unhinged tirade against King Charles.
Speaker 9: Aside.
Speaker 7: Again something people do, not our land, that give us
Speaker 7: one this style from us.
Speaker 1: Our bones, our scar, our baby, our people.
Speaker 3: He's out that we want to training in this country here.
Speaker 7: This is not your lab, this is not your la.
Speaker 7: I'm not.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 4: This left is losing its segment gets millions of views
Speaker 4: every week around the world. We have a massive audience
Speaker 4: overseas and they'll be shocked to learn that Lydia Thorpius,
Speaker 4: the screaming banshee just saw, is a senator in the
Speaker 4: Australian Parliament.
Speaker 3: I will not.
Speaker 4: Stand for racist racism in my workplace.
Speaker 3: You are not helping the situation. And the Prime Minister
Speaker 3: knows exactly what he's doing. He wants that's just to
Speaker 3: come out and get me.
Speaker 2: So where is my apart?
Speaker 3: Fuck you?
Speaker 4: Finally, here is Senator Olivia Thorpe doing some of her
Speaker 4: best work outside a strip club in Melbourne.
Speaker 3: This was just last year.
Speaker 8: To you and you man that stands with what like that?
Speaker 4: Someone get in Parliament, press and you you. She seems
Speaker 4: like a good time but sadly, Senatoralia Thorpe received a
Speaker 4: lifetime ban from that particular establishment. Maxine's Gentleman's Club in
Speaker 4: Brunswick will no longer allow her entry. Sad Okay, let's
Speaker 4: go back to laughing at lefties losing it overseas. Here
Speaker 4: is a racist lefty in America. You know how she's voting.
Speaker 5: What's more dangerous? Straight white conservative men or axe murderers?
Speaker 3: A straight white conservative man?
Speaker 2: Why is he more dangerous?
Speaker 1: Because they're capable of doing anything.
Speaker 3: They're crazy.
Speaker 5: We'll make them crazy.
Speaker 3: They're white.
Speaker 5: You don't think that's racist at all?
Speaker 4: No, And here is another woman back in Kamala because
Speaker 4: she thinks Donald Trump will take her birth control away.
Speaker 7: If you were to vote for anybody in twenty twenty four,
Speaker 7: who is it going to be?
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris?
Speaker 2: Why is that?
Speaker 3: Because I like having rates, having rights.
Speaker 1: I'm gay and I enjoy being able to marry who
Speaker 1: I want, be open about that at work.
Speaker 3: I'm also a woman. I take birth control. I like
Speaker 3: being able to do that.
Speaker 4: Just exactly what rights did a gay women lose under
Speaker 4: Donald Trump's administration? And why would he want her to
Speaker 4: stop taking birth control? She's a lesbian, Why is she
Speaker 4: taking birth control? The whole thing is confusing me. Now,
Speaker 4: this lady has really isolated the most important thing in
Speaker 4: this campaign. You better listen to her, you pack of
Speaker 4: sexist pigs.
Speaker 1: Regardless of who you're voting for. Stop referring to our
Speaker 1: presidential candidate as just Kamala. It's Kamala Harris. We do
Speaker 1: not talk about the other person running and say Donald, right,
Speaker 1: we don't just say Donald. Maybe we should, maybe we
Speaker 1: should start calling him Donnie. But up until this point,
Speaker 1: people have only felt comfortable referring to women in power
Speaker 1: by just their first names because they do not respect
Speaker 1: women in power. They did the same exact thing to Clinton.
Speaker 1: So if you have an ounce of feminism in your
Speaker 1: body at the very least, say Kamala Harris.
Speaker 3: Ah dear.
Speaker 4: Doesn't it just fill you with warmth and confidence knowing
Speaker 4: that folks like that vote. Here is a couple wanting
Speaker 4: to send conservatives to re education camp. Just feel the
Speaker 4: tolerance and empathy here.
Speaker 5: We're trying to send conservatives to re education camps to
Speaker 5: be more accepting.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, oh, elliot, all.
Speaker 5: Right, So you would support take their rights away and
Speaker 5: sending them to the camps forcefully? Would you be in
Speaker 5: support of banning conservatives from voting?
Speaker 3: I feel like everyone is to vote.
Speaker 5: Oh, you're taking the rights away to a re education camp.
Speaker 8: That is true.
Speaker 4: Now, this next clip may have a little creative input.
Speaker 4: We will check in with the lip readers on what
Speaker 4: was actually said, but I like to think it was
Speaker 4: something like this.
Speaker 9: So is Kamala doing Okay, Nope, she's down Joe.
Speaker 2: Now we're basically Trump is killing us at the pole.
Speaker 8: So yes, we're gonna lose.
Speaker 2: Joe, damn it.
Speaker 9: Wait, wait, what if I come back to run again
Speaker 9: as candidate?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Well, uh.
Speaker 1: No, job man, You're not going back.
Speaker 4: Shot.
Speaker 1: Let's let it all play out.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's just we'll talk later.
Speaker 5: Joe.
Speaker 7: Okay, women looking fine up in here.
Speaker 4: Now, let's bring in documentary filmmaker and commentator Army Horoid's Army.
Speaker 3: A lipreada engaged by The New.
Speaker 4: York Post has deciphered what really occurred during that exchange
Speaker 4: between Joe Biden and Barack Obama at Ethel Kennedy's funeral.
Speaker 4: While caught on camera, the conversation was drowned out by
Speaker 4: the organ music, but professional lip reader Jeremy Freeman. Freeman,
Speaker 4: who's got sixteen years of experience, thinks this is what
Speaker 4: was said. She's not as strong as me, said Biden,
Speaker 4: and then Obama replies, I know that's true.
Speaker 3: We have time.
Speaker 4: And then Biden comes back with, yeah, we'll get it
Speaker 4: in time.
Speaker 3: What do you think about all that army? Are they right?
Speaker 3: Do they have time?
Speaker 7: Yeah? The New York Post doesn't have to hire a
Speaker 7: lip reader to hear me say this. No, they do
Speaker 7: not have time. Look, there's two weeks left in the
Speaker 7: election and they are down badly. All the momentum is
Speaker 7: moving toward Trump. He's literally the lat the RC people. Look,
Speaker 7: I'm a maniac, I'm a lunatic. I checked the polls,
Speaker 7: every morning and a couple times a day. He's down
Speaker 7: in every single swing state, every single one, count them
Speaker 7: all seven. Look they just said the quiet part. Quietly.
Speaker 7: She is a terrible candidate and terrible at everything else.
Speaker 7: This is why she's down. And by the way, Liz
Speaker 7: Cheney is not gonna save your election. Look the word
Speaker 7: shot in freud. Okay, this is a German word shot
Speaker 7: in which means which means harm and damage and freud,
Speaker 7: which means joy literally taking comfort and joy in the
Speaker 7: harm of others. That word was literally created to define
Speaker 7: the state of Joe Biden's being. Right now, he is
Speaker 7: living shot in freud, okay. I mean, look, Brutus and
Speaker 7: Cassius have nothing on how Kamala and a Democratic Party
Speaker 7: did Uncle Joe dirty. Right, he is going to reach
Speaker 7: out from beyond the grave with the ultimate I told
Speaker 7: you so and a middle finger to the entire Democratic Party.
Speaker 7: You screwed me over and look what happened. This is
Speaker 7: what's going down. Look, they even have there obviously damage
Speaker 7: control going on now. And remember the Obama administration were spying.
Speaker 7: The New York Post said that doesn't sound like Joe Biden,
Speaker 7: really it doesn't. Oh yeah, it does. The maightiness is awesome.
Speaker 7: I love it.
Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, it sounds like Joe Biden. Just have a
Speaker 4: look at his form there is from the early days,
Speaker 4: he's been bragging about himself. Remember when he was bragging
Speaker 4: about what great Marxi was getting at university. That was
Speaker 4: lying about all that, but he was bragging. Nonetheless, now
Speaker 4: the Democrats to have an enormous advantage. They've got the
Speaker 4: bulk of the mainstream media. They've got pretty much most
Speaker 4: of the popular culture, from Hollywood to music industry to.
Speaker 3: Fashion, the whole lot.
Speaker 4: The polls are tied despite the Democrats having all that
Speaker 4: and also outspending the Trump campaign. Kamala spent two hundred
Speaker 4: and seventy million in September compared to Trump's seventy eight million.
Speaker 3: I don't think enough is said about this disparity and
Speaker 3: the spending army. If Trump had anywhere near.
Speaker 4: The money the Democrats have to spend on his campaign,
Speaker 4: it would be all over.
Speaker 3: You could be winning New York.
Speaker 7: Yeah, this election would not be as close as it is.
Speaker 7: Trump would actually be running away this election. If he
Speaker 7: was just doing basic election blocking and tackling. He simply isn't.
Speaker 7: That's just the reality of the situation. Look, Kamala Harris
Speaker 7: is running a very traditional ground campaign. Okay, Right, they
Speaker 7: have four times the amount of staffers than Trump does. Okay,
Speaker 7: that's a massive number and a massive advice. Trump was
Speaker 7: running a cult of personality campaign. Now he thinks he's
Speaker 7: winning because of that. That's not actually true. He's winning
Speaker 7: because he happens to be on the right side of
Speaker 7: all the issues. He was winning because we had four
Speaker 7: years of a horrible presidency by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Look,
Speaker 7: he ran a cult of person out a campaign four
Speaker 7: years ago. He lost. Okay, Look, his unconventional perform, the
Speaker 7: unconventional preparation for the debate, which means he didn't prepare
Speaker 7: for it. He lost the debate. He's winning because he
Speaker 7: happens to be on the right side of all these issues,
Speaker 7: and the momentum is on his side.
Speaker 2: That's the problem.
Speaker 7: He has not been spending the time and money. Look,
Speaker 7: she has raised billions from small dealers. She's spending time
Speaker 7: raising money. He's spending time and money on his legal affairs.
Speaker 7: This is a huge disadvantage for him, But ultimately he's
Speaker 7: going to win because everything is flowing in his direction,
Speaker 7: and he is coming after a company that nobody likes.
Speaker 4: Well, you just casually announced it. There, it's all over.
Speaker 4: He's going to win. But that's part of the lawfare,
Speaker 4: wasn't it. The law fair was designed not just to
Speaker 4: further blacken his name in the eyes of the American public,
Speaker 4: to have him as a convicted felon, but also to
Speaker 4: distract him, to have him focused elsewhere, spending money elsewhere
Speaker 4: instead of campaigning.
Speaker 7: Question about Look, and by the way, to be clear,
Speaker 7: I called this election last week. Now I didn't call
Speaker 7: this week. I already called it last week. No, he
Speaker 7: is got about that. That is actually part of their strategy,
Speaker 7: no question about it. And to a certain extent, it's working.
Speaker 4: It is absolutely Now President Joe Biden has once again
Speaker 4: ignored his own advice. Remember he said this following the
Speaker 4: first assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
Speaker 9: Fellow Americans, when I was speaking to night about the
Speaker 9: need for us to lower the temperature in our politics.
Speaker 3: But now is at it again.
Speaker 4: He claims that Trump is so dangerous that he ordered
Speaker 4: to be locked up.
Speaker 9: Thinks he has a reader of the Supreme Ruling on
Speaker 9: immunity to be able to need me if it was
Speaker 9: the case to actually eliminate physically, eliminate, should kill someone
Speaker 9: who is he needs to be a threat to him.
Speaker 9: I mean, so, I know this sounds bizarre. It sounds
Speaker 9: like I said this five years ago. You'd like me up.
Speaker 9: We gotta like him up him.
Speaker 8: Dear.
Speaker 4: He tried to rectify some of the damage there and
Speaker 4: say lock him up politically, but please, he just claimed
Speaker 4: right there, army, that Trump wants to shoot and kill people.
Speaker 4: It's just an extraordinary way for the Democrats to tackle
Speaker 4: this campaign.
Speaker 3: They have not.
Speaker 4: Stopped that reckless retrick against Trump one. They continue to
Speaker 4: call him a threat to democracy, likening him to the
Speaker 4: likes to Hitler.
Speaker 7: They're doing it all the live long day, Rita. No,
Speaker 7: there was an assassination attent, and of course everyone said,
Speaker 7: let's lower the temperature, let's reduce the rhetoric. But you
Speaker 7: know what, the next day he was on television doing
Speaker 7: all the threat to democracy garbage. The next day then
Speaker 7: there's a second assassination attent.
Speaker 2: You think anything changed.
Speaker 7: No, he's still a fascist, still a threat to our
Speaker 7: way of life, right, still, comparing him to Hitler and
Speaker 7: Mao and Mussolini, These are all the comparison they're making,
Speaker 7: And of course this comports with him saying, let's lock
Speaker 7: them up. Look the same democracy crowd, right, this is
Speaker 7: the Democratic Party. These are people who've been trying to
Speaker 7: subvert democracy in both deed and in word. Right, they
Speaker 7: have let's not forget, not to just forget to lock
Speaker 7: it up stuff. They've been using lawfare like we talked about,
Speaker 7: to try to get him off his game on the campaign.
Speaker 7: Do we forget? They try to get him off of
Speaker 7: the ballots. They try to take Trump off of the
Speaker 7: ballots in different states. This is democracy. This is the
Speaker 7: same democracy crowd. Then, the rhetoric has included calling the
Speaker 7: Supreme Court illegitimate. They have called for the taking down
Speaker 7: the Electoral College. These are people are saying, hey, in
Speaker 7: my city of New York, let's have nonsenizens vote. You
Speaker 7: tell me who is pro democracy? Who is anti democracy?
Speaker 2: This is crazy?
Speaker 7: Am I taking crazy bells? What's going on? Now?
Speaker 3: You're one hundred percent right?
Speaker 4: And don't forget installing Kamala Harris in validating fourteen million votes.
Speaker 3: Biden actually went through a process.
Speaker 4: He was supposed to be the nominee, and suddenly we've
Speaker 4: got someone who nobody appeared to vote for, who is
Speaker 4: now their candidate, and again they talk about norms and
Speaker 4: threats to democracy in Horowitz, Thank you so much for
Speaker 4: your time this evening.
Speaker 3: Oh is your pleasure still to come?
Speaker 4: Energy expert Alex Epstein joins me to expose the boldest.
Speaker 3: Lies of net zero activists.
Speaker 4: You're watching the Reader Paney Show and joining me now
Speaker 4: is best selling author of Fossil Future. While global human
Speaker 4: flourishing requires more oil, coal and natural gas, not less.
Speaker 4: Energy expert Alex Epstein alex is she.
Speaker 3: Or isn't she?
Speaker 4: This is the question we're facing. We know where Donald
Speaker 4: Trump's energy policy lies.
Speaker 3: He's crystal clear about what he wants to do.
Speaker 4: But with Kamala Harris's position, well, it remains murky. She's
Speaker 4: long said that she wants to ban fracking. She promised
Speaker 4: to do that when she was a Democratic presidential nominee
Speaker 4: back in twenty nineteen. She said she banfracking on day one.
Speaker 4: Now she says she doesn't want to do that. It
Speaker 4: would certainly ender her chances in a state like Pennsylvania
Speaker 4: if she had that policy these days, But really, where
Speaker 4: does she sit on this crucial issue?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 10: I think it's actually just really clear. I mean, her
Speaker 10: position is net zero by twenty fifty, which basically means
Speaker 10: banded fossil fuel used by twenty fifty, and she supports
Speaker 10: steps to get there. And whether you ban fracking outright
Speaker 10: or just destroy fracking through a series of irrational regulations
Speaker 10: doesn't really matter.
Speaker 2: The goal is to destroy fossil fuel.
Speaker 10: So one way to think of it is you can
Speaker 10: destroy fracking without banning fracking, just as Obama pledged to
Speaker 10: destroy the call industry and largely succeeded without banning call.
Speaker 10: You just pass other regulations that make it impossible.
Speaker 4: Now, the Biden Harris administration did straightaway block the Keystone pipeline.
Speaker 3: What's been the packed off that decision.
Speaker 10: This is one of the most damaging things because if
Speaker 10: you think about the situation with Canada, Canada just has enormous,
Speaker 10: enormous what's called proven oil reserves. They have way more
Speaker 10: than we have in the United States. They have huge
Speaker 10: amounts of untapped production that could be a great source
Speaker 10: of oil for us in the US, very well suited
Speaker 10: to our refineries, as well as oil that could supply
Speaker 10: the free world, which we need now more than ever.
Speaker 10: Because we have a lot of hostile people with a
Speaker 10: lot of oil, and instead of taking a step toward
Speaker 10: more energy trade with Canada, and we should be doing
Speaker 10: a lot more, they just destroyed it.
Speaker 2: And they destroyed it on a whim.
Speaker 10: They basically just got the State Department to destroy it
Speaker 10: after over ten years of investment in planning. And so
Speaker 10: this not only just totally sabotaged a lot of our
Speaker 10: potential with Canada, it told everyone in industry you're you know,
Speaker 10: you could be on the chopping block at any moment,
Speaker 10: and so that does insignidvize investment. It creates fear, and
Speaker 10: so we haven't even started to experience the full consequences
Speaker 10: of stopping Keystone.
Speaker 4: Now, Alex, let's have a look at this lotust a
Speaker 4: peace published by Monash University right here in Melbourne, Australia.
Speaker 4: They claim that Hurricane Milton and Hurricane Helene serve as
Speaker 4: a stark example of how climate change is influencing storm dynamics.
Speaker 3: They also say it demonstrates.
Speaker 4: How warmer ocean temperatures and shifting weather patterns can lead
Speaker 4: to severe damage in both coastal and inland communities.
Speaker 3: And they also wrote.
Speaker 4: Recent extreme weather events, including devastating tropical cyclones, underscore the
Speaker 4: critical need for global corporation and decisive action, and that
Speaker 4: it highlights a disturbing trend. Storms are becoming more impactful
Speaker 4: closer to the coast. Alex care to respond to what
Speaker 4: you've just.
Speaker 10: Heard, and this is really damaging because the overall message
Speaker 10: here is let's get rid.
Speaker 2: Of fossil fuels.
Speaker 10: Fossil fuels are making the climate more dangerous. We get
Speaker 10: rid of fossil fuels, then we're going to be safer
Speaker 10: from climate.
Speaker 2: But if you just think for a.
Speaker 10: Second, have fossil fuels made us more endangered by climate
Speaker 10: or safer from climate? You just think, what was a
Speaker 10: hurricane like one hundred years ago, fifty years ago, even
Speaker 10: twenty five years ago compared to today, And it's obvious
Speaker 10: and the data bear this out that we're much much
Speaker 10: safer from hurricanes and other forms of extreme weather. And
Speaker 10: fossil fuels are huge reason why. They keep us incredibly
Speaker 10: resilient through things like heating and air conditioning, storm warning systems,
Speaker 10: evacuation systems, building sturdy buildings, et cetera, et cetera. So
Speaker 10: we've become incredibly resilient to climate thanks to fossil fuels,
Speaker 10: and whatever climate affects fossil fuels have had are very
Speaker 10: hard to detect.
Speaker 2: Particularly with storms.
Speaker 10: This is why there's no strong trend with hurricane frequency
Speaker 10: or intensity. And so they're really just trying to make
Speaker 10: stuff up, saying like, oh it was it develops faster
Speaker 10: here and there. Just the big picture as fossil fuels
Speaker 10: are making us safer than ever from extreme weather, and
Speaker 10: so if you're manipulating science to tell us to get
Speaker 10: rid of fossil fuels, you're going to make make us
Speaker 10: far more in danger from extreme weather.
Speaker 2: And you're I mean, if you did it, literally, you.
Speaker 10: Just destroyed the whole country because the grid can't work
Speaker 10: without fossil fuels. I mean, imagine Australia without Call. That's
Speaker 10: over half your grid. So you know, you get rid
Speaker 10: of Call really quickly, a huge percentage of the population dies,
Speaker 10: the grid doesn't function, you have civil war. Like these
Speaker 10: guys are not at all thinking through what they're advocating,
Speaker 10: or they are and they just really hate humans.
Speaker 4: Well, I think that's at the heart of a lot
Speaker 4: of the activism we see in this area. And one
Speaker 4: of the claims we hear over and over again in
Speaker 4: this country, and I'm sure elsewhere is that renewables are cheaper,
Speaker 4: that they actually lower energy costs, But the reality seems
Speaker 4: to be fairly different to that. Take me through this
Speaker 4: graph you recently shed. It seems to show that places
Speaker 4: with the highest percentage of renewable use seem to be
Speaker 4: paying more for energy.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean that's a good description of what that shows.
Speaker 10: And we see this around the world, and Rita, let's
Speaker 10: just I think it should be pretty obvious to somebody,
Speaker 10: like imagine I said, hey, Rita, I've got something that's
Speaker 10: better and cheaper than the iPhone. But I'm not just
Speaker 10: gonna make it and compete with the iPhone. I need
Speaker 10: you to ban the iPhone and then give me a
Speaker 10: couple of trillion dollars in subsidies, and then I promise
Speaker 10: it'll be cheaper than the iPhone. Well, if it were cheaper,
Speaker 10: then you wouldn't need to ban the competition and you
Speaker 10: wouldn't need subsidies. So obviously it's an inferior thing, and
Speaker 10: they're just issuing press releases with lies. So if you're
Speaker 10: actually better, then compete with fossil fuels on providing reliable
Speaker 10: electricity and other forms of energy, and they're not willing
Speaker 10: to do that because the technology and economics aren't there.
Speaker 10: And really, what this whole renewable is cheaper thing for
Speaker 10: it's just a cover for the to pretend that we're
Speaker 10: not going to experience extreme suffering from banning fossil fuels.
Speaker 10: And what we've seen in Europe is just even with
Speaker 10: a little bit of restriction of fossil fuels, it creates
Speaker 10: a total energy crisis. So they should learn their lesson
Speaker 10: and if renewables so what are actually cheaper, can become cheaper,
Speaker 10: then let them compete on a real market to provide
Speaker 10: reliable energy. Otherwise it's obviously just a lie.
Speaker 4: Now you've highlighted more catastrophizing by the climate activists. It's
Speaker 4: something that we hear daily and it's not new. Let's
Speaker 4: go back twenty years to this from the Guardian in
Speaker 4: two thousand and four where they claim that climate change
Speaker 4: over the next twenty years could result in a global catastrophe,
Speaker 4: costing millions of lives in wars and natural disasters. Once again, Alex,
Speaker 4: that claim has not aged too well.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, if we actually had news it would
Speaker 10: just constantly be telling us, guess what, life is better
Speaker 10: than ever. We're safer than ever from climate. Thank you
Speaker 10: fossil fuels. Let's give the fossil fuel industry a metal,
Speaker 10: like that's all we would be talking about, because we're
Speaker 10: obviously safer from hurricanes, we're much safer from drought, we're
Speaker 10: saved from temperature extremes, like we should be celebrating. We've
Speaker 10: become incredibly resilient to climate, and whatever climate changes occurred
Speaker 10: hasn't mattered that much, and we shouldn't expect it.
Speaker 2: To matter that much.
Speaker 10: Why would one or two degrees change on the Earth
Speaker 10: overwhelm the most adaptable species in the history of the
Speaker 10: planet that's increasingly getting better at being resilient from climate.
Speaker 10: So people are just they're thinking about climate like it's
Speaker 10: the year thirteen hundred and just a drought is going
Speaker 10: to be a problem versus No, this is we're in
Speaker 10: the twenty first century. We're really good at dealing with climate.
Speaker 10: We're safer than ever from climate. We're in a climate renaissance.
Speaker 10: Let's keep getting better at dealing with climate, and let's
Speaker 10: keep being freer and energizing the whole world and deal
Speaker 10: with real things like three people use three billion people
Speaker 10: using less electricity than a typical US refrigerator.
Speaker 2: Like that's a real problem, not the weather.
Speaker 4: Alex Epstein said beautifully, thank you so much for a
Speaker 4: time this evening.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 4: That's it from a opnek Is news not I'll see
Speaker 4: you at eleven tomorrow.
Speaker 6: Mm hmm
