WEBVTT - The Late Debate | 11 December 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.960 Wait, gentlemen, welcome to the late Places. 0:00:07.600 --> 0:00:11.080 Good evening and welcome to the show. I'm Liz Storian. 0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:14.440 I'm so glad you're here joining me this evening is 0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:18.040 mister kel Richards and Joe Hildebrand, so you know you're 0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:19.880 in for a good time. 0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:23.120 Rime contributor contributors here payable. 0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:28.280 Coming up in the papers tonight, a Victorian Council has 0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:31.720 decided that they are going to embrace Australia Day again. 0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:37.440 Miracles do happen, ladies and gentlemen, and Australia's most senior 0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:42.560 public servant defending the fact that under Labor they've added 0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:47.400 thirty six thousand places to the public servant in less 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:50.840 than four years. You'll laugh out loud when you hear 0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:54.400 his justification for this, and last, but not least, a 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:58.480 crocodile has been found in a laundry in the Northern Territory, 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:02.720 because you know it's the Northern Territory. But first, tonight 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:07.000 we know that Labour's obsession with net zero means that 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:13.360 they will justify anything in the name of cutting down emissions, 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.440 you name it, They're on the case. And today we 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:22.000 discover that this also extends to our health sector. Yes, 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:25.800 we're told that healthcare accounts for roughly five percent of 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:31.360 global emissions, with most major developed countries committing to decarbonizing 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:35.000 the sector. The details remain scarce as to how you'd 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:38.880 pull this off, of course, because how on earth are 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:42.920 you going to decarbonize a sector on which people rely 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:46.120 literally not only for their quality of life but to 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:50.920 keep living well. That's not stopping the labor government. We 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:54.040 read in the Daily Telegraph today the alben Easy government 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:59.600 has committed to releasing a healthcare system decarbonization roadmap in 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:03.640 twenty twenty five, but researchers have warned there are potentially 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:08.040 hidden costs right through the healthcare supply chain. Yes, we 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:12.760 can imagine so. According to analysis by the Menzies Research Center, 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:17.680 switching a majority of Australian asthma sufferers to more environmentally 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:22.840 friendly inhala's alone would cost taxpayers and patients more than 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:28.760 AE hundred million extra annually. What are these new inhalers 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:31.959 going to do? Are they going to be made of cardboard? 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.080 What are people supposed to do? The article goes on 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:39.720 to detail, thanks to this research done by MENSIS, that 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:45.239 even if they changed half of the fifteen million Inhaler's 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:50.600 purchased annually here in Australia to the more expensive, lesser 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:54.760 emissions in Haler's. That alone would cost one hundred and 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:59.240 twenty four million dollars. But of course that's just going 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:02.440 to be labor playing with more subsidies, more of our 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:07.480 taxpayer dollars, just handing them out like freebies. Joe, we 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.840 have to have lost our minds when we're talking about 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.640 not only this, but they're talking about we've got to 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:20.040 reduce the emissions patients and doctors use up visiting each other. 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:22.919 I think I think if there was any area that 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:27.320 you were going to make exempt from carbon reduction targets, 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:31.440 it would probably be life saving medical care. I think 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:34.120 maybe that's I say, you know what, we'll just focus 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:36.720 on the cars. We'll just go with the evs. Well, 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:39.560 you know, we'll get a solar powered client. Your doctors, 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:41.760 you just do whatever it takes. You can just I mean, 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.760 paper straws are bad enough. Imagine a paper venal and 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:49.920 that's not going to get soggy. Come man, I think 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:52.040 this is crazy. I think it is one of those things. 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.960 I was reminded of an event I went to many 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:56.760 many years ago, and I'm very worthy of and fantastic 0:03:56.760 --> 0:04:03.240 event about raising money for or basically community housing and 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:09.960 extremely low cost housing for people. And they were trying 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:13.560 to raise money to put solar power solar panels on 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.719 the roof so that the electricity bill would be cheaper 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:20.200 for the and I kind of just thought, you sort 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.040 of get like, I could see it makes sense. I 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:23.760 could see it sort of was going to be cheaper 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:27.279 and everything. But this didn't look like a homelessness initiative anymore. 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.520 It looked like something else. And I feel like this 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.440 doesn't look like a healthcare initiative anymore. It looks like 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.200 something else. I think, just leave. Let healthcare do whatever 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:38.039 it has to do to care for people's health. The 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:39.840 clues in the name kind of. 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:40.640 A sension go. 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:45.800 If you want to decarbonize other economies transport, you know, 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:47.440 fossil fuels. 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:48.120 They won't stop. 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:53.000 They won't for sake of just five percent of global emissions. 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.480 This is nonsense, and there is no way to do 0:04:56.560 --> 0:05:00.520 it without making healthcare less affordable. 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.440 And possibly less efficient. That worries me. 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:04.760 I've got to say, as an asthmatic, I've got to 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:08.800 tell you ventilin is not destroying the global climate. Right 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:12.719 you can. They're tiny, little inhalers. You take minute, little puffs, 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.719 and they'll find something which they think is fractionally better. 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.360 My worry is it will be fractionally less efficient. So 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.279 there'll be some asthmatic shall be lying on their bed gasping, 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:25.560 and people will be saying, no, no, it's all right. 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.800 You're gasping, but you're good because you're saving the planet. 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:30.000 You're a wonderful person. 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:32.920 They'll be emitting let's co I too. 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:36.479 Yeah, well, when they die, you find people will admit 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:37.520 very little co too. 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:39.920 Dead people don't admit any. 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.479 That's just this is ridiculous. I mean, they actually lied 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.360 to us. They said we're only coming after fossil fuels. 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.680 They're getting after fossil fuels. So now they're turning to 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:55.680 crippling farming, crippling long distance transportation, crippling manufacturing, crippling the 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.960 healthcare sector. What it amounts to. I think now this 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.120 is just me being Okay, this is serious. This is 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:05.039 philosophy stuff. This is idolatry. This is worshiping the creation 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:08.760 instead of the creator, and it's any level of worship 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:12.400 up to and including human sacrifice. Whatever we need to 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.000 do to make the climate safe. If a few people 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:17.320 have to die, a few people have to be uncomfortable, 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.800 that's okay. 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:24.760 Are I always said of this agenda, it is essentially 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:28.359 very anti human. Humans are being made to suffer, but 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:32.760 being told whatever the suffering, whether it's energy prices, whatever 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:36.520 the suffering, whatever form it takes, it's justified because we're 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.560 saving the planet. I mean, I could not believe reading 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:43.840 in the government's National Health and Climate Strategy today they 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:47.920 highlight the need to reduce staff travel and consider emissions 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:52.720 from patient and visitor travel. How are you going to 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:56.279 do that without affecting health outcomes? What are we going 0:06:56.360 --> 0:07:00.400 to have zoom calls now for the buzz patients reveal? 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:03.240 As was revealed just a couple of weeks ago, even 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.679 Australia's climate change ambassador doesn't seem to have been able 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:10.720 to resist taking overseas trips on araplanes. They never practiced, 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:14.160 so I'm pretty sure that you know, if they can't, 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.040 if it's essential for them to have face to face 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.320 on it. I'm pretty sure it's essential for doctors to 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.080 have face to face on it. But again, I don't 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.280 think it's this great conspiracy that I don't think it's 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.480 any human I mean, there's no there's no liberal planet, 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:25.920 there are no human. 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:27.520 Mind. 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:30.520 But you, well, you have to you have to find 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:32.400 a balance. And I know that's very difficult for some 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:34.200 people to accept, but you have to find a balance 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:35.400 and say, right, yes, we do. 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:37.760 Would you agree that this isn't finding a balance? 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:40.120 That's right? This is exactly what I said, Like, why 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:44.360 why go after and a sector which is absolutely non 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:48.480 negotiably vital for human survival, for human health i e. 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.760 The healthcare sector when it is a tiny tiny amount 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.320 of the system, And why not go after the far homes, 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.560 you know, the big industrial stuff. And again we I've 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:58.240 even said we still need to do that in a 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:01.000 way that doesn't sacrifice people. On the ultra of ideology 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:02.720 that would make sure we're replacement. 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:04.520 They are still going after people. 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:06.960 If you put up power costs, it is old agg 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.120 pensioners who don't eat their homes in winter. 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:11.880 It is people who end up paying the prices. People 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:14.880 is suffer. So it's basically cruel in the end, and 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:15.640 they don't. 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:21.600 The large amount of these policies don't actually affect the 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.120 planet in a great way. We can talk about evs, 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:27.560 we can talk about solar panels. Are they really better 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.880 for the environment. No, when you boil it down, they're not. 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.880 I've always said of this agenda. Once you realize that 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.640 you are the carbon they really want to reduce, it 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:42.600 starts adding up all these crazy policies. It starts making sense. 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:44.679 Let's get on to a nice, positive, cheery topic. 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:49.760 To Queensland now, where you would not believe this story 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:53.040 if it weren't in the news. Today we learn that 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:59.080 over three hundred vials of deadly pathogens have gone missing 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:03.320 from a lad in Queensland. And get this, this actually 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:06.640 happened in August of last. 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:10.120 Year, and nobody told us. We don't even We still 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:13.400 don't know where these vials are. 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:15.040 Plus side, nobody's dead. 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:18.680 But you know, so far so good, So far so good. 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:22.079 Nobody panics, so far, so good. But this has made 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:27.480 international headlines. As Fox News rights, the government has instructed 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.559 Queensland Health Australia's Public Health Department. 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:36.240 Understand itzation how it's actually just how it works, or 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:39.240 does Queensland's Public Health to. 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:43.320 Launch an investigation into what's being described as a major 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:48.440 historical breach of biosecurity protocols. According to the online media statement. 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:52.000 It was reported that three hundred and twenty three vials 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:58.160 of multiple infectious viruses, including hendravirus, lysa virus, which contains 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:02.080 rabies virus by the way, enters virus, went missing from 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:08.520 Queensland's Public Health virology laboratory. Say that twice fast in 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:13.040 August twenty twenty three. Now the government says it doesn't 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:18.680 know whether these infectious samples were stolen or destroyed, but 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:22.760 it does say, quote there is no evidence of risk 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:25.720 to the community, and quote so you don't know where 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:29.000 they are. They could be safely binned somewhere. Maybe they 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:33.240 were destroyed, hence nobody panic. Or it could be you 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.480 don't know where they are or how they went missing, 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:40.760 whether they've potentially stolen. But you're just telling everyone there's 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:45.480 no risk to the community. These two things do not 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:47.040 go hand in handcap. 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:50.800 And it's not three of these vals, it's three hundred 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:53.280 and twenty three of these vals. I read this and 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.200 I thought it's a black market for this stuff. This 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.760 is bizarre. I did work out that biosecurity for Queensland. 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:03.320 We can't take fruit across the border. But if you're 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.559 carrying little vials of highly infections. 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:06.800 That's perfectly all right. 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:09.080 We're not worried about that sort of thing. So it's 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:12.360 just so many They call this a major historical breach 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:14.600 in bios security protocols. 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:19.080 You reckon just a little bit. I think if if 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.320 there was going to be a mass kind of wu 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.360 Han style outbreak of deadly virus as well, I think 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:26.080 we wouldn't know about it by now. So if I 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.120 was a betting man, which I am actually so I'm 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:31.280 happy a bet, then I would put it on someone 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:34.319 has actually destroyed them, but they haven't done that paperwork. 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:37.040 Just put their hand up and say, yeah, okay, nobody panic. 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:38.319 I destroyed them. 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:42.280 Because it's Stephen Miles's Queensland. The place isn't absolutely you know. 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:46.000 That means you can get. 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:46.880 They're in the back of a fruge somewhere and let's 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:47.959 watched the paperwork. 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:49.640 That's right, that's right. 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.439 Someone keep an ordered. 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:56.920 Again. I'm not this is I don't run the joint. 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.280 I don't run the joint. I love the fact that 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.920 Fox News just assumes that Queensland Health is Australia's public 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:06.280 health department, like all of Australia's nations, which is all 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:08.360 most Americans would think. I think, oh yeah, it's just 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:10.760 a giant thing. Everyone's going around in thongs, in board 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:13.640 shorts and there's a bench there in kangaroos they run. 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:17.160 Around with ba We do need to say to the viewers, 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:19.800 if you feel a strange sort of a twinge, go 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.480 and check it out. I'd be part of the vials 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:25.000 that turned up at your place. Can I say there 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:27.199 are there are? Actually, I mean we laugh about that, 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:29.880 but there are some serious things happening in England. The 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:32.840 Spectator which is a great magazine. I am a columnist 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:34.800 for the Spectator of Australia, so I speak in a 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:39.199 completely unbiased way. There was great magazine. Now the editor 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.560 is Michael Gove. He replaced Fraiser Nelson, who was the 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:46.440 editor until recently. They published online an article about Nikola Sturgeon, 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:48.560 who was the Chief Minister of Scotland for a long time, 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:53.240 and just in passing the author referred to a transgender 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:56.840 person as a man pretending to be a woman. Well, 0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:00.680 they got very upset about that. The press watchdog is accused, 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:04.560 has accused these people and produced a chilling effect on 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.679 free speech. According to the editor Michael Gove. The blog 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:10.880 has just taken over. So the idea that this man 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:14.000 was not allowed to express in the article his view, 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:17.400 this was a man claiming to be a woman. There 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:21.600 is in England something called a gender recognition panel, and 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.280 in twenty eighteen this person went to the gender that's 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:28.640 the person gender recognition panel and officially got recognized as 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:32.199 being a woman. Why didn't they have a chromosome recognition 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.439 panel so that you were checked to being. 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:37.400 Xx a woman or x Y a man. And if 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:38.120 an x Y. 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.960 Person wants to dress and live as an XX person, 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:43.320 they can do that as a free country. But part 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:45.920 of being a free countries you have free speech, which 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:48.720 means we're allowed to say this is an x Y 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:52.120 person who likes to live as an EX person. We're 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:54.480 allowed to say that because that's what's actually going on. 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:55.559 Except in Britain. 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:59.240 It's quite frightening the implication for free speech. 0:13:59.240 --> 0:13:59.600 I would have. 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:04.000 Thought absolutely, And of course it's not ipsoce's role to 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:08.440 dictate freedom of speech issues. They're basically in the UK. 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:12.960 They're our version of Akma, who pulls up anyone in 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:17.840 the Australian communications and media space on any untruth or 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:20.800 if you're breaking a certain part of their code, but 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:26.040 it's not their job to enforce ideology, which is what 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:30.680 IPSACE basically the UK version of AKMA is doing here, 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:33.080 and it sends it does send a chilling message. I 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:38.400 think guys, going forward, you're not allowed to acknowledge biological reality. 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:40.520 Now, no, I think people I think people should be 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:42.040 I mean, I think a whole bunch of people should 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:44.280 probably just get over it. But I think, you know, 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.320 I think people should be able to say, I identify 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:49.040 as a woman, and that's that she looks perfectly womanly 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:50.840 to me. And you know, even if she didn't, she 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:52.440 could say that I want to be a woman and 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:54.440 that's how I feel, and that's how I'd like to 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:57.520 be addressed, Okay, whatever. People should have that individual freedom, 0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:58.560 but again I. 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.240 Bet they don't have the freedom everybody else. 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.840 But I do think where it does cross the line, 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:07.160 I think is when you are saying, when you're basically saying, right, well, 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.400 these are my pronouns. Now, everyone in the world has 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:11.240 to tell me theirs or it's a hate crime. And 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:14.800 the more chilling extension of that is that anyone who 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:20.120 questions it is therefore actionable under the law and can 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:22.320 actually be censored and told no, you can't say that. 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:27.160 And that's what this president says. Then they breach the 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:31.080 editor's code of practice. So going forward, anyone who's writing 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:34.640 anything in the UK will have breached the same code 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:36.600 if they don't. 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:38.480 And even if people think that that is acceptable or whatever, 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:42.760 then what happens when, for example, you go into satire. 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:45.440 What happens when you know people are taking the mickey 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:47.000 out of people, and people take the mickey out of 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:49.840 people for all sorts of different personal attributes. Do you 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:53.280 then start going after comedians like I don't know, Raygun 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:59.320 did never forget because you know, imagine that scene in 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:02.360 the Life of bran And where the People's Front of 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:04.160 Judea are not to be confused with the gd in 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:07.000 People's Front are sitting there and there's a woman who 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:09.440 says that I demand the right this is I demand 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:11.680 the right to go into the arena and be fed 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:14.240 to the lions, just like all the men do. And 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:16.920 they said, okay, well you can have that right, you 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:18.720 know in you go, you know, be fed to lunch. 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:20.000 I know, I don't want to be fed to the lions. 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:21.800 I just want the right to be fed to the lions, 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.240 and again it's very, very funny. There was also a 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:28.520 big trans skit in that as well, where one of 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:31.160 them suddenly identified as a woman and said that I 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:34.720 would I would like to be what I want to 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:35.920 want to I want to be a woman, and I 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:38.720 want to have babies, And the John Cleese character says, what, 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:41.360 you can't have babies. You don't have a womb, and 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:43.040 they all sit down and say all right, all right, 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.880 and they vote on another resolution taking the piece out 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.200 of all these socialist collectives that sprung up in the seventies, 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:51.480 said all right, we all agree that you have the 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:54.680 right to have babies, even though you can't have babies. 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.400 Now again, if you were to say that under these laws, 0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:59.840 I am pretty sure that you would run foul of them. 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.960 And therefore the UK untacting the long way home. I apologize, 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:07.400 but that UK has just found a way to kill 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:10.879 off Monty Python, its greatest comedy export. Well done. 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:15.760 Yeah, well, it's absolutely insufferable this journal. Gareth Roberts was 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:19.600 simply exercising his rights to freedom of speech, expressing what 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.919 I dare say the vast majority of us still believe 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:27.760 is a simple biological reality. No very few among us 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:30.520 believes that a piece of paper can make your woman. 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:35.080 It cannot magically get rid of a y chromosome. So 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:38.200 good Lucke where they're going forward. 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:40.040 Whether that's true or not. The point is, should you 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:43.400 be able to say something that is wrong stupid? 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:45.720 True, you can't get rid of a y chromosome. But 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:49.240 there's there's even more. What's interesting is this is not 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:52.680 just happening in England. It's happening in America. In America, 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:56.280 they've actually got the First Amendment, which guarantees freedom of speech. 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:59.520 So when there was an attempt by the State Department 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:03.520 to circumvent the First Amendment, they had to be really 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:04.880 devious about it and. 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:06.520 Work out their way to get around it. 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:09.439 They set up a thing called the Global Engagement Center, 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:11.119 just that wonderful. 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:14.160 Maeration is never in the name, and they. 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:18.679 Funded something called the Global Disinformation Index, which was a 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:23.399 British organization which then contacted advertisers and told them not 0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:27.320 to advertise on websites that were conservative. So by having 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:29.919 several links in the chain, you could get around the 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:33.320 First Amendment. So everyone, it seems, trying to cut down 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:36.200 on freedom of speech these days. That's what's under attack. 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:39.480 That's really important. That's what we need to defend, isn't it? 0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:42.960 One hundred percent? And now the Biden admin the State 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:47.720 Department is scuffling to get rid of the GOEC because 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:51.240 they know, come the Trump term is going to be 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:54.440 one of the first things to get turfed. It's previously 0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:58.040 been funded to the tune of one hundred million dollars 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:03.679 censoring Americans speech online, and they've decided, well, we're not 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:09.200 going to renew that one hundred million dollars fully upcoming year. 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:11.600 Now it could joined by a lifetime's worth of environmentally 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:13.480 friendly vential and in highlands for that money. 0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:18.200 Now, the history of the GOEC is actually quite curious. 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:22.560 It did start out as legit, as explained by Mike 0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:26.560 Benns he's a former Trump State Department official on the 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:31.920 Joe Rogan podcast. Originally, here is what the GEC started 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:32.400 out as. 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:36.359 So this idea that that isis was recruiting on Facebook 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:39.720 and Twitter. Gave a license to the State Department to 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:42.760 create this thing called the Global Engagement Center, which was 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:46.320 really the first official censorship capacity in the US government. 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:48.840 It predated the DHS stuff that would come along in 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:51.639 the Trump and the Trump era, and this gave the 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:57.080 State Department the direct back channel, the direct coordinating capacity 0:19:57.680 --> 0:20:01.960 with all the social media companies to tell them about ISIS, 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:06.720 ISIS accounts, ISIS narratives that we're trending. Suddenly, the State 0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:09.840 Department is a real time heat map of everyone who 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:13.520 is likely to be or hits a certain confidence level 0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:15.360 being suspected to support ISIS. 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:20.680 That was from twenty fourteen to twenty and sixteen. Very 0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:24.879 legit organization, you'd think, but many of these things start 0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:29.120 out that way. But in twenty sixteen, Rick Stengel, who 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:32.639 put the thing together and was running it, had a 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:37.560 massive change of heart. Here's Mike Ben's again talking about 0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:40.679 what Rick decided once Trump came to office. 0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:44.399 When Trump won the election in twenty sixteen, he became 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:47.399 convinced that actually the First Amendment was a mistake. He 0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:50.560 actually openly advocated in the Washington Post in an op 0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:53.560 ed that we effectively end the First Amendment, that we 0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:57.280 copycat Europe's laws, and then he wrote a whole book 0:20:57.320 --> 0:21:00.560 on it. This is the guy who started affectively the 0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:05.800 country's first censorship center. In twenty sixteen, the Global Engagement 0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:10.679 Center pivoted from being counter terrorism to counterpopulism. In twenty sixteen, 0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:15.800 they were afraid that social media rising all these right 0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:20.280 wing populist parties to power would effectively collapse the entire 0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:23.600 rules based international order unless there was international censorship, and 0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:26.639 they talked about that quite openly in twenty seventeen in 0:21:27.040 --> 0:21:30.760 as they were creating this whole censorship infrastructure. 0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:37.040 Now Concerto conservative outlets The Daily Wire, the Federalist, and 0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:42.680 the Texas State are currently suing the DEEC, So it'll 0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:45.399 be interesting to know what happens with that now that 0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:49.480 they're kind of going under. It was revealed in early 0:21:49.560 --> 0:21:53.480 twenty twenty three last year that they had in fact 0:21:53.560 --> 0:21:59.640 been depriving several of these outfits of money because they 0:21:59.800 --> 0:22:04.679 use these online platforms to post things, get subscribers. For 0:22:04.800 --> 0:22:07.840 the amount of viewers you get, the platform then pays 0:22:07.920 --> 0:22:11.920 you money. So it was demonetizing anyone it deemed as 0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:15.640 being conservative or far right. We know how much they 0:22:15.680 --> 0:22:19.439 love to use that. Elon Musk tweeted in February of 0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:23.840 last year, the worst offender in US government censorship and 0:22:23.960 --> 0:22:29.640
