But first let's bring in Sophie Ellsworth, media 20 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 3: writer The Australian. Sophie, you've reported in the Australian Today that. 21 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 2: The ABC the board. 22 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 3: There is in crisis over Laura Tingle's weekend out burst, 23 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 3: a story you broke in The Australian. Some remarkable comments 24 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 3: at the Sydney Writers Festive. Always you call Australia racist country, 25 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 3: unleashed a bile philed die tribe against the Opposition leader 26 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 3: Peter Dutton, accusing him of giving license to people to 27 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 3: engage in racial abuse. 28 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 2: What more can you. 29 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 3: Tell me about what's happening at the ABC and the 30 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 3: board's response. 31 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 5: We'll read to. 32 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 6: These were extraordinary comments when I went to the Sydney's 33 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 6: Writers Festival on Sunday to hear Laura Tingle unleash on 34 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 6: Peter Dutton and call Australia a racist country. Now this 35 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 6: is causing issues within the ABC. I know from sources 36 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 6: within the ABC that there has been discussions among board 37 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 6: members about this problem, and they're due to meet in June. 38 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 5: But now it's. 39 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 6: Under consideration whether they bring forward this discussion about Laura 40 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 6: Tingle rather than wait till the board meeting in June. 41 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 6: But rechil this is a problem because not only is 42 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 6: she their most high profile political correspondent at the ABC, 43 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 6: she is on the board herself. So if they have 44 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 6: a board meeting and discuss matters relating to her. 45 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 5: She has to recuse herself. 46 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 2: I mean, this is a problem. 47 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 3: Does another staff appointed board member step in place of 48 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 3: her or they know one day because she. 49 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 5: Was voted into that role, she's in a five. 50 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 6: Year term, she's twelve months in and already this is 51 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 6: causing headaches for them. But Rita, this is where Kim Williams. 52 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 6: He is the new chair. He only started in March, 53 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 6: and as many people who know Kim know, he's not 54 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 6: one to hold back. So I have put questions to 55 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 6: him about this, but he has not responded. 56 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 5: But I can't imagine he's too thrilled about this. 57 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 3: Well, the ABC is very upset with your reporting, all 58 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 3: the facts you are sharing with the audience, and they're 59 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 3: disputing that there is any sort of crisis at board level. 60 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 7: What's your response to that. 61 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 6: Well, they can do that, Rita, but that is not 62 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 6: the case. They can put out their statements. I went 63 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 6: to them yesterday with a series of questions. 64 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 5: They gave me no comment. 65 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 6: They've had ample time to respond to questions and they 66 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 6: did not, you know, on this whole thing that started 67 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 6: on Sunday. Mind you, I question them on Sunday about 68 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 6: it as well. So I stand by my reporting. 69 00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 3: Now you called Laura Tingle the ABC's highest profile political correspondent, 70 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 3: I would argue she is a commentator, So her comments 71 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 3: about whatever she thinks of Australia, whatever she thinks of 72 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 3: Peter Dutton, her what sound to me like these paranoid 73 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 3: fantasies of migrants being abused at Open for inspections because 74 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 3: Peter Dutton dared to point out that when you have 75 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 3: record number of migrants coming in, of course it's going 76 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 3: to add to the housing crisis. But she is not 77 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 3: a correspondent, She's a commentator. And those lines of the 78 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 3: ABC between opinion, which is what this program is, and 79 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 3: strictly news reporting are completely blurred. 80 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 7: I would argue there. 81 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 2: Are no lines, and I think we saw that. 82 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 3: With the Voice the referendum, where we had so much 83 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 3: reporting from the ABC supposedly news reporting, impartial news reporting 84 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 3: that was pro yes activism. 85 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 6: But Rita, she is a journalist at the ABC. 86 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 5: Now she does do analysis, which is what is commentary. 87 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 6: But she's sitting there interview Peter Dutton, she's interviewing Anthony Alberzi. 88 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 5: She does reports on the Seven thirty programs. 89 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 6: So if they want to try and argue, or if 90 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 6: anyone wants to try and argue that she's not a 91 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 6: journalist she's a commentator. 92 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 5: That is not the case the ABC. She is a journalist. 93 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 6: She is their political correspondent and she reports not only 94 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 6: you know, political reports, but she interviews people and I 95 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 6: think that's journalists. 96 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 3: Now we saw some more warped reporting from the ABC. 97 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 7: Again, this is news coverage. 98 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 3: It's not commentary, analysis, opinion, what do you want to 99 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 3: call It is supposed to be news coverage. 100 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 2: And they've been called out for this. 101 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 3: Because it is just a bizarre way to describe her 102 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 3: mass firing rockets into all across Israel, including Tel Aviv. 103 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 2: The ABC called it a show of resilience. 104 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 3: More than seven months into Israel's massive asc and ground offensive. 105 00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 7: A show of resilience. 106 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 3: It's just really strange words to describe the actions of 107 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 3: a terror group raining rockets down on civilians. 108 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 2: Now, another front. 109 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 3: Page exclusive from you, this time on Channel nine. Today 110 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 3: CEO Mike Sneezebe was the one to sign off on 111 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,559 Speaker 3: that million dollar payout to form a news boss starn Wig. 112 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 3: The network has also claimed that nine chairmen and former 113 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 3: treasurer Pett Costello played no role in the payout. 114 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 7: What else can you tell us about this story? 115 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 3: This just seems to be rolling along and gathering momentum 116 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 3: each day. 117 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 5: Well, Rita, this story is far from over. 118 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 6: It's really quite extraordinary that Nine are saying Mike Sneezeby 119 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 6: ticked off Darren Wick's payout. Now we have reported at 120 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 6: The Australian that he got a payout of around one 121 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 6: million dollars. Now this comes at a time when all 122 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 6: media companies, including Nine Entertainment, are under financial pressure. But 123 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 6: the fallout is continued into deep and there is so 124 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 6: much unrest in Nine. My phone has been going running 125 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 6: hot since we broke this story last week about the 126 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 6: allegation and report against Darren Wick that started this whole thing. 127 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 6: But to date, Peter Costello, the chair of nine, has 128 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 6: not spoken. 129 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 2: Has it been blindsided here? 130 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 3: Is it feasible that the chair doesn't know about a 131 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 3: million dollar payout? 132 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 5: Rita? I would find that incredibly hard to believe. 133 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 6: But the issue here is not just management, it's at 134 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 6: board level, it's the staff on the ground. This is 135 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 6: right through Channel nine. They have an enormous problem on 136 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 6: their hands. Now they announced yesterday Mike Sneezey announced there's 137 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 6: going to be an external independent review into the conduct 138 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 6: and behavior at nine. But I think his tenure is 139 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 6: in jeopardy. I mean, these stories are not stopping. These 140 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 6: allegations and claims against staff, including Darren Wick, mainly Darren Wick, 141 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 6: are not going away. 142 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 3: And the new news boss at nine, Fiona Dia, has 143 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 3: come out and said that there is a culture of. 144 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 2: Power games of the network. 145 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 3: The Sydney Morning Heralds reported that Starfiell, that former boss 146 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 3: Star and Week has created this culture of ghosting, belittling 147 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 3: and favoritism. Goodness may it sounds like some sort of 148 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 3: dating game show. 149 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 6: It's pretty worrying stuff, Reacher, and this is going through 150 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 6: their newsrooms across the country. 151 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 5: This is not just isolated to Sydney. 152 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 8: Now. 153 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 5: He left in March. 154 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 6: He said he went on for a walk along the 155 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 6: beach and he decided he was tired and he needed 156 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 6: a break. 157 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 5: Nine. 158 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 6: We were asking them where is he. We were told 159 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 6: he was coming back. That was not the case. There's 160 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 6: a lot of people that seem to. 161 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 5: Be covering up what is actually happening here. 162 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 2: Now. 163 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 3: The Daily Telegraph has been slammed not by Kevin Rudd 164 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 3: this time, but by the Chinese Communist Party. Their officials 165 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 3: are not happy that the Chinese Consulate General in Sydney 166 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 3: sent emails to Australian politicians criticizing them for attending a 167 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 3: gala in celebration of Taiwan and something the Daily Telegraph 168 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 3: reported on. So the CCP is not happy with the Telly. 169 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 3: I would have thought that's a badge of honor for them. 170 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 5: Well, isn't it? 171 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 7: Rata? 172 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 6: I mean, should they be concerned that the CCP is 173 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 6: not happy. 174 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 5: With their reporting? Probably highlights that they're doing a very 175 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 5: good job. 176 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 7: Absolutely. 177 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 3: And finally, Sophie Richard Kemp is an outsider's favorite. 178 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 2: He is a fantastic. 179 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 3: Voice on geopolitical issues and he's been in Australia and 180 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 3: been shocked by what he's seen on our university campuses. 181 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 3: Writing in The Telly today, he said they've gone full 182 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 3: hamas he said, particularly about Sydney UNI. Just like inside Gaza, 183 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 3: free speech is not allowed on the encamp Perhaps the 184 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 3: campus rabel rousers are afraid their minions will say too 185 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 3: much about their real agenda or reveal their lack of 186 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 3: knowledge about what they are actually protesting about He is 187 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 3: a retired British Army commander, Sophie, and if he's shocked 188 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,839 Speaker 3: by the level of extremism on these university campuses, I 189 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 3: think we should listen. 190 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 5: We should listen. 191 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 6: But Richard, it's been pretty horrifying some of the images 192 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 6: that have been coming out from the university's people scared, 193 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 6: particularly Jewish students, saying that they're scared to even go 194 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 6: to university. This is a really serious problem that the 195 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 6: country is facing at the moment, and these activists at 196 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 6: the universities, I argue, you should be more focused on 197 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 6: getting their degrees and getting good jobs than you know, 198 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 6: making you know, a problem for themselves. 199 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 5: So they're making these universities. 200 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 2: They're not just. 201 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 3: Making a problem for themselves and making a problem for 202 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 3: the kids who do want to go to classes and study, 203 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 3: because they are obstructing that. They are intimidating students. And 204 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 3: I'm sure everybody would have watched Josh Friedenberg's documentary Never 205 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 3: Again earlier tonight. It lays out precisely what is wrong 206 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 3: with the leadership of these universities and also the activism 207 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 3: on campuses. 208 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 2: So feelsworth Thank you so much for your time this evening. 209 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 2: Thank you, Reta joining me now. 210 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 3: Sky News contributor Gary Hardgrave. Gary, let's start with the 211 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 3: news that one in five detainees released after the High 212 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 3: Courts and Zedyq decision has. 213 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 2: Been charged with a new crime. 214 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 3: We've had twenty eight be charged and let's not forget 215 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 3: they haven't been released that long. And now we've got 216 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 3: dozens more convicted criminals planning to use a ministerial direction 217 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 3: to successfully appeal their visa cancelations. This ministerial direction is 218 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 3: from the Immigration Minister. 219 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 2: Andrew Jarles is. 220 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 3: Just stuffing up this portfolio, and it's an important portfolio. 221 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 2: Gary, is the Prime minister going to make a move here. 222 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: I don't know how the factions work. I really don't know, 223 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: but read I got to say it is a nation 224 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: building portfolio and that's what immigration should be. It should 225 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: be a portfolio of the Australians are very confident in 226 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: is being run properly and it's got to be an 227 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: Australia's best interest that anybody who migrates here or visits 228 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: here comes. It's got to be Australia's best interest if 229 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: you're going to breach the trust and there's what over 230 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty or so of these people that 231 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: have been released for whatever reason, with alleged crimes in 232 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: the background, and all sorts of problems that may well 233 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: be facing as a result of what they've done. Since 234 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: that is a breach of trust, these are things that 235 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: ministers should intervene in. If ministers should have opinions on, 236 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: ministers should act on. But what I don't get with 237 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: this Blake is he doesn't seem to be acting in 238 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: Australia's interests. It seems to be oh, someone's had a 239 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: word to him about this, or someone's had a word 240 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,719 Speaker 1: to him about that. It shouldn't be a giveaway. This 241 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: should be a tough thing to get the status to stay. 242 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: And if people pray you break the law again, well 243 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: I think that's the second chance is out the door, 244 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: and don't let it hit you on the way out. 245 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: Pretty simple. We need toughness in this because reader for 246 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: the tens of thousands who do comply with the laws, 247 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 1: they need to know that their status is assured because 248 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: the few do the wrong thing of being acted on 249 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: in a tough way. This minister is all over the place. 250 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: He should go The Prime mister hasn't got the courage 251 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: to do it though. 252 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 3: He has just been consistently inepty is not up to 253 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 3: this portfolio, and the fact that he hasn't been moved 254 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 3: along to something that is more fitting his ability is. 255 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,599 Speaker 2: An indictment on the Prime Minister. 256 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 3: Because it's very clear that he is not equipped to 257 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 3: deal with this portfolio. It seems every step of the 258 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:56,079 Speaker 3: way he has stuffed up. Now let's talk about Queensland. 259 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 3: Their labor government is being accused of failing to for 260 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 3: the state's population. Boom figures reveal it's Queensland's on track 261 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,839 Speaker 3: to hits decade old prediction of five point seventy three 262 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 3: million by twenty twenty six. Premier step Miles earlier this 263 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 3: month called on the federal government to slow down net 264 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 3: migration from overseas, arguing the population is growing faster than 265 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 3: new homes can be built. Yes, thank you, Captain obvious. 266 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 3: But his own government is being accused of abysmal planning 267 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 3: failures for failing to heed their own previous warnings. Is 268 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 3: this going to become an issue coming up to the 269 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 3: state election. It seems like Stephen Miles is a smart 270 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 3: political operator. He can read the opinion polls. He knows 271 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 3: people want to see cuts to migration. He's backed Peter Dutton. 272 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 3: In fact, he said that was my idea that Peter 273 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 3: Dutton took. But when you scrutinize the Labor government in 274 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 3: Queensland the guilty of ill planning themselves. 275 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: Absolutely. The only plan they've got is how to give 276 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: more money to the CFMU. I mean they've got this 277 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: tax on everything that's being built that basically is laundering 278 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: money through the CFMU. The price of concrete for a 279 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: backyard barbecue project is affected by the price of concrete 280 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: that they'll pay for a state taxpayer funded project run 281 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: by the CFMU in the middle of the city. Nothing's 282 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: getting built. And this is a government that has actually 283 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: given up on planning. It is in fact unable to 284 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: make a decision about anything anytime anywhere anymore. And it's 285 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: a government that has run out of puff. And look, 286 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: I come from Queensland. I'm a proud Queenslander. It distresses 287 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: me because the planning was there. They were told this 288 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: was what the population was going to be ten years ago, 289 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: what the population was going to be next year. They 290 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: were told that, and yet they failed to plan and 291 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: now he's blaming migration. Well, the simple reality is it's 292 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: a complete failure of the government to prioritize the kind 293 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: of infrastructure we need in our roads are one thing. 294 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: There's no doubt there's a need for that. We've got 295 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: the Olympics coming in twenty thirty two. I don't know 296 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: how anybody is going to get a walk around. They're 297 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: going to have to walk around Brisbane, that's any way 298 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: they can get around. And the Royal System reader was 299 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: designed in the eighteen sixties and built in the eighteen 300 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: seventies and no new rail line, so you know, and 301 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: then you can throw water in the failure to plan 302 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: properly for power. We used to have the world's cheapest 303 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: and plentiful supply of electricity forty years ago. But this 304 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: is a government that has been in office really for 305 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: the last thirty five years, not just for the last 306 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: nine or ten years, and they really have failed to 307 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: deliver for Queensland's tomorrow. And so yes, it is an 308 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: issue and David Chris Ofouley has got to tell us 309 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: what he's going to do for the next generation of Queenslanders, 310 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: not just the next election. And I think if he 311 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: seals that he'll win this inner canna because Queenslanders want action. 312 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: They want action. 313 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 2: Queensland has won action. 314 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 3: But then we saw Liberal Nationals back the Miles government's 315 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 3: bold mission targets that surprise a lot of people, particularly 316 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 3: at an election where cost of living is going to 317 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 3: be a major concern and you basically are taking energy 318 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 3: out of the equation as an ideological point, as a 319 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 3: policy area where you can challenge the government. 320 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 2: What is the election looking. 321 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 3: Like, what's your prediction of what we're going to see? 322 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: Well, it's coming at the end of October. Who knows 323 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: a lot of things could happen between now and then. 324 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 1: But a courageous decision to back a bad policy, the 325 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 1: Miles government policy on net zero. It was also another 326 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: courageous decision to pooh pooh Peter Dutton's discussion his plan 327 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: to talk at least about nuclear being a viable, cheap 328 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 1: alternative and a carbon free alternative to renewables. And yet 329 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,199 Speaker 1: we all we know there's a long long way to 330 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: go on all of that. So look, I think the 331 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: State opposition is going to hear a lot from the 332 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: grassroots members of the Liberal National Party in coming weeks 333 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 1: because they're having a convention at the end of journ. 334 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 1: We'll wait and see. But look, there is a lot 335 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: to be done. This is David Chrystop foolis to lose 336 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: and he's got to get It's sharp in people's minds 337 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 1: that he will be different in the right places. He's 338 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: talking about law and order, he's talking about cost of living, 339 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: but your right power is a major living component, and 340 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: for a lot of members of the party it's an 341 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: article of faith. Dutton's on the right path and the 342 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: state opposition's got to catch up. They've just got to 343 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: catch up to him.

A 350 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 3: right aircraft that lost power mid flight, only narrowly missing 351 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 3: hitting houses in suburban Sydney before making a crash landing 352 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 3: on a runway. This is a a may Day call. 353 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 3: The pilot managed to just miss trees houses. 354 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 7: You can see it just got past. 355 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 3: The hangar there apparently only a meter, and he had 356 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 3: pulled the wheels up because it didn't think he would 357 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 3: get past the hangars with the wheels and a perfect 358 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 3: crash landing. Both the pilot and the passenger walked away. 359 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 3: Just incredible footage. And let's hear now from the pilot. 360 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 9: It was lighting. 361 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 10: It wasn't a no goer. 362 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 2: We clipped the peas and we just made it over 363 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 2: the hangar. How close were you coming over the homes? 364 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 11: It was very close. 365 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 2: We didn't think we were going to make this landing 366 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 2: strip out. It looked to me like you were about 367 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 2: three or four meters above the homes. Yeah, it was 368 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 2: very very and the hangar it look like you're about 369 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 2: a meter above. That just cleared it. 370 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 12: Jake retracted the landing gear because he thought he would 371 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 12: hit the roofs. 372 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 9: It's why he landed the plane on its belly. 373 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,959 Speaker 2: What are you going to do to celebrate tonight? 374 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 10: And I think just be alone. 375 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:16,360 Speaker 13: Be al. 376 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 7: Just incredible. 377 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 3: That is a pilot you would feel safe being in 378 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 3: charge of a. 379 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 2: Massive passenger plane. 380 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 3: I think this is an argument that's happening in the 381 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 3: US in particular about DEI policies and getting more diversity 382 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 3: in the cockpit. I think that just proves you want meritocracy, 383 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 3: You want the very best people to be flying the plane, 384 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 3: especially if there's hundreds of passengers on board. 385 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's why I stick with Quotus myself. That's 386 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 1: why I flew flew with Cortus from Brisbane. The camber look, Rita. 387 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: The guy knew that you dangled the dunlops for wind 388 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: resistance to bring it closer to the ground. In a 389 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: proper landing, will lift it up to get rid of 390 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 1: that resistance so it could go that little bit further. 391 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 1: Perfect belly landing, took it off the runway, dropped it 392 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: on the grass. Twenty out of ten. I give him 393 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: twenty out of ten. 394 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 3: Well done, incredible, incredible, Gary Hardgrave, thank you so much. 395 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 2: Still to come. 396 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 3: Lefties Losing It featuring the Leader of the Free World 397 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 3: plus Josh Hammer joins me to explain the latest conspiracy 398 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 3: theory that's turned out. 399 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 14: To be true. 400 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 2: Welcome back. 401 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 3: Now it's time for Lefties Losing It, and I think 402 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,919 Speaker 3: it's high time we checked on the Leader of the 403 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 3: Free World. President Joe Biden has in recent days repeated 404 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 3: another verifiable lie, this time telling West Point graduates that 405 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 3: he was appointed to the Naval Academy. 406 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 2: Sadly that never actually happened. 407 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 14: I was appointed by my the fell I ran against 408 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 14: when I was twenty nine years old, to the Naval Academy. 409 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,360 Speaker 14: I was one of ten I wanted to play football. 410 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 2: Of course, there's no record of any of this. 411 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 3: Another Biden fantasy, but I guess it's a rather small 412 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 3: eye compared to the ones he has told in recent 413 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 3: weeks about cauniballs and being arrested fighting for civil rights.

The camp has lefties 445 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 3: lost it and then got arrested for. 446 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 12: We are intimidation. 447 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 15: That is what we're here for. 448 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 11: We're here for low they are directly upholster. 449 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, don't try that nonsense in North Carolina. 450 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 7: Now, aren't you just thrilled that. 451 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 3: Your taxes will be paying off the student loans of 452 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 3: fiscally irresponsible fools.

My biggest 465 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 16: issue with student loan forgiveness is that it's a lack 466 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 16: of accountability for people's financially reckless decisions. 467 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 9: Because you have these people they were they take off. 468 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 16: These wildly massive loans to get a degree, to put 469 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 16: themselves in the career path.

My scholarships came from putting my back into 477 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 9: my education. So why should I be responsible for paying 478 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 9: off someone else's debt? 479 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 13: What makes this debt more righteous than the small plumber 480 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 13: who took out a loan to buy a new van, 481 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 13: or the person who got a mortgage, or what makes 482 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 13: it fair to the person who paid off their debts 483 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 13: to the parent who just wrote the last check for 484 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 13: their son or daughter to go to college. 485 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 9: No one forced you to get those loans, so don't 486 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 9: force me to pay it off. 487 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 16: You can't be a part of the twelve percent of 488 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 16: people in a mayor who have student loan debt and 489 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 16: then look at the eighty eight percent of us who 490 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 16: aren't in that situation and expect us to pay off 491 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 16: the decision you made. 492 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 3: Race, class, gender, I'll play an important. 493 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 7: Role to matt access. 494 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 5: This isn't just about student loan debt. 495 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 6: This is about equal access to generational wealth. 496 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 3: Equal access to generational wealth.

We have 540 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 12: a population that is not reproducing it on its own 541 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 12: with the same level that it used to. The only 542 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 12: way we're going to have a great future in America 543 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 12: is if we welcome and embrace immigrants, the Dreamers, and 544 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 12: all of them, because our ultimate goal is to help 545 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 12: the Dreamers, but get a path to citizenship for all 546 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 12: eleven million or however many undocumented there. 547 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 3: Are here, Let's bring in senior editor at large for Newsweek, 548 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 3: Josh Hammer. Josh, what do you make of Chuck Schumer's comments? 549 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 3: There wasn't long ago that if you suggested that the 550 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 3: Democrats wanted all these legal immigrants to cross the border 551 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 3: because they eventually become Democrat voters, you were called some 552 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 3: sort of crazy conspiracy theorist. 553 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 5: Yeah. 554 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 10: I mean, how many times recently in American politics do 555 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 10: we need to see yet another example of what was 556 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 10: once dismissed as a so called far right conspiracy theory 557 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 10: which has been once again been validated because of these 558 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 10: crazy times that we're living in. I mean, I see 559 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 10: clips like this read and I think back to, you know, 560 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 10: the crazy conspiracy theory that the COVID nineteen pandemic might 561 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 10: have emerged from the lab in Wuhan, China, Or that 562 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 10: crazy conspiracy theory that Hunter Biden's laptop was in fact, 563 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 10: very very real and was not just fabricated by Russian 564 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 10: intelligence assets, as fifty one US deep state spooks promptly 565 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 10: said in a statement that was issued by the FEDS 566 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 10: roughly twenty four hours after the New York Post story 567 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 10: came to line October twenty twenty. This is just the 568 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 10: latest indication in a very long and very unflattering line 569 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 10: of conspiracy theories that are no longer conspiracy theories. By 570 00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 10: the way, what Chuck Schumer is saying there getting to 571 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 10: the substance of his remo. What he is saying in 572 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 10: there at the beginning of that clip we just heard 573 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 10: where he is saying that America's population is not reproducing 574 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 10: the way it used to. We're simply not having enough babies. Well, 575 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 10: empirically speaking, he happens to be right about that. America's 576 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 10: current birth rate is roughly one point six to one 577 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 10: point sixty five children per child bearing women, which is 578 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 10: well below replacement level. But how about you look at 579 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 10: that and then you do something about it. How About 580 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 10: you try to make America a better and more appealing 581 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 10: place in which to raise children. How About you try 582 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 10: to change the material incentives you try to grow the economy. 583 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 10: Don't just tell Americans that they're being too selfish or 584 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,959 Speaker 10: that they're not taking enough abortion pills or something crazy 585 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,959 Speaker 10: like that, so it's not reproducing that generation. You're identifying 586 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 10: a good problem there, chructure or this solution is not 587 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 10: just to willing really import mass third worlders who simply 588 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 10: do not share our values. The solution is to make 589 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 10: America a better place to have more children. 590 00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 3: We've got more Democrats embarrassing themselves is a start with 591 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 3: the elan Omer, one of the squad members here, who 592 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 3: tweeted this on Memorial Day, obviously not understanding what the 593 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 3: day is supposed to commemorate, and another squad members, Congresswoman 594 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 3: Cory Bush, also tweeted. 595 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 7: This, mentioning all sorts of things. 596 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 3: Universal health care and affordable housing. Both those tweets have 597 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 3: now been deleted Josh, because presumably someone in their staff 598 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 3: told them what Memorial Day actually means. 599 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. 600 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 10: Look, Leftizria have a very very long standing habit of 601 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 10: trying to universalized messages that ought to be particulous, So, 602 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 10: you know, to to give just one example, I mean, 603 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 10: I'm Jewish, and we have a very long history in 604 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 10: America of politicians, especially from the Democratic side of the Isle, 605 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 10: who take many of our Jewish holidays such as Passover, 606 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 10: which is of course about the exodus from Egypt and 607 00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 10: the liberation of the Jewish people, and trying to universe 608 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 10: this message to be any kind of just kind of 609 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 10: hold our hands smoke a piece pipe Kumbaya kind of thing. 610 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 10: They try to take the passover message and they'll twist 611 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 10: it and turn it to be about the liberations of 612 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 10: LGBT rights or the liberation of the legal aliens. A 613 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 10: lot of Chuck Schumer's clip there. This to me is 614 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 10: very much in that line where you take a very 615 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 10: specific particular day. Memorial Day here in America is a 616 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 10: very solemn day. It is where we remember those who 617 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 10: give the ultimate sacrifice to defend this last great nation, 618 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 10: this last dying perhaps, but this last is still in existence, 619 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 10: gasp of freedom in Western civilization. And we and we 620 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 10: look to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, and we 621 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 10: pay our very solemn respects. To quote the Great General 622 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 10: George Patten, today on Memorial Day here in America is 623 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 10: not a day to be sad, to mourn those who die, 624 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 10: but rather to thank God that such men live. That's 625 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 10: the That's the quote from George Patten. And then to 626 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 10: take that message and to try to do a Corey 627 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 10: Push and illin Omar and these various other squad far 628 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 10: left nut jobs are doing and talking about, you know, 629 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 10: Black Lives Matter, Antifa, universal healthcare, Palestinian rights, I legal 630 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 10: aliens totally totally missing the forest for the trees. But 631 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 10: it's not just accidental, reader. I think that there is 632 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 10: a slight dose of intentionality here. They know what they're doing. 633 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 10: They're trying to undermine America's psalm traditions and holidays in 634 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,280 Speaker 10: favor of their very tendentious genda. 635 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 3: Probably, but it's interesting that this time around they deleted 636 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 3: those tweets. I think a couple of years ago they 637 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,439 Speaker 3: may have not, but I don't know. We're in an election, Yeah, 638 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:39,320 Speaker 3: maybe they're a little bit more sensitive. You might remember 639 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,799 Speaker 3: this classic from Kamala Harris a couple of years ago. 640 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 3: I think this was actually her first year as VAP, 641 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 3: and she posted this for Mourial to have enjoyed the 642 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 3: long weekend. That really is just so poignant, isn't it. 643 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 3: Goodness may Now, there's been a number of attax josh 644 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 3: from assailants in recent years. 645 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 2: It's hard not to notice. 646 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:09,240 Speaker 3: I'm not suggesting they're disproportionately represented in the stats. Someone 647 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 3: else can look into the figures and let me know 648 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:16,359 Speaker 3: about that. But there have been several instances of men 649 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,839 Speaker 3: identifying as women and a couple of women identifying as 650 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 3: men being behind really violent, disturbing crimes. And there was 651 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 3: another one over the weekend, and New York Post repeats 652 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:32,240 Speaker 3: that the knifemen accused of stabbing six people, including three children, 653 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 3: and suspected of killing another, appears to have been in 654 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:40,239 Speaker 3: the process of changing their identity and they insist on 655 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 3: being called a she. 656 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,319 Speaker 10: Look, this is once again just another data point in 657 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:53,759 Speaker 10: what is a longstanding problematic trend. I mean, look, it 658 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 10: feels like it was just yesterday. Our new cycle moves 659 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,839 Speaker 10: so quickly now that we forget that this is over 660 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 10: a year ago. Now, there was the school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee, 661 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,759 Speaker 10: of the Covenant School, of that Christian school by a 662 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,880 Speaker 10: former student of that school, who it turns out was 663 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 10: a transgender individual. And what this individual did was they 664 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 10: went back to that to that school and then before 665 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 10: going to shoot up and try to murder children there 666 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,440 Speaker 10: who were just attending a school in a given day 667 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 10: in March twenty point three, first went to the church 668 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,240 Speaker 10: that connects to the school and shot at the stained 669 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:27,439 Speaker 10: glass depiction of the prophet Abraham, you know, the great 670 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 10: patriarch Abraham, the father of all three monotheistic religions. You 671 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 10: know what would compel someone who was a former Christian 672 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 10: school student who became a transgender person to shoot up 673 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 10: a stained glass depiction of the father of all of 674 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 10: Western monotheistic religion. I mean, the question kind of answers itself, right, 675 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 10: There's something very deeply psychologically troubling going on here. And 676 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 10: you know, I'm not a psychologist. Don't take it from me. 677 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 10: I mean, go back and look at the DSM three, 678 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,800 Speaker 10: the DSM four. I mean, gender dysphoria up until fairly recently, 679 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 10: was a universally recognized social malady, and it was a 680 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:03,239 Speaker 10: psychological matter for which the proper treatment was seen as 681 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 10: psychologists seeing a psychiatrist and ultimately getting some form of 682 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 10: advanced kind of psychological training. It was only a fairly 683 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 10: recent memory, reader, that we have decided to not just 684 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,040 Speaker 10: bestow this an impromoter of legitimacy, but to try to 685 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 10: kind of you give it much praise and adoration and 686 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 10: all this as well. I am waiting for conservatives to 687 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,759 Speaker 10: try to make this point articulately, because a lot of 688 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 10: people tend to kind of put out a lot of 689 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:30,759 Speaker 10: fiery rhetica, fiery rhetoric without much substance or policy beef 690 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 10: behind it there. But at this point this is too 691 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 10: big of a problem to simply ignore. I mean, if 692 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,439 Speaker 10: you are a man who thinks that you are a woman, 693 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 10: we should have compassion and we should encourage you to 694 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,839 Speaker 10: seek help. But to pretend like this is just a 695 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 10: normal situation just to keep on going on, people are 696 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,239 Speaker 10: ultimately going to continue to die and get wounded and 697 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,359 Speaker 10: tragically just murdered by people just like this. I fear 698 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,239 Speaker 10: unless we get to the bottom of what's actually going 699 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:54,240 Speaker 10: on psychologically. 700 00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:00,800 Speaker 3: Now, this is interesting, Josh, Silicon Valley is turning away 701 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,279 Speaker 3: from the Democrats. We are told I'm not sure if 702 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:07,799 Speaker 3: I believe this, but we have investors and venture capitalists 703 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:14,359 Speaker 3: saying it's becoming impossible to support Joe Biden. What do 704 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 3: you make of this? I mean, this is something that 705 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:22,280 Speaker 3: has been a very much a stronghold for the Democrats. 706 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 3: Silicon Valley has traditionally lent left quite strongly. 707 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,520 Speaker 2: Could they come around embracing Donald Trump? 708 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,279 Speaker 10: You know, it really does seem almost impossible. I mean, 709 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 10: of all of America's major industries, big tech in Silicon 710 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 10: Valley is, as you accurately say, by far, one of 711 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:46,200 Speaker 10: the most reliable Democratic Party voting blocks. I mean, it's 712 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 10: right there, literally in northern California, which is about as 713 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 10: blue an area of America as possibly guess. I kind 714 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 10: of have to wonder here if the Elon must trend 715 00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,880 Speaker 10: on Twitter export of recalling of these days, if that 716 00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 10: trend is actually kind of auguing a broader kind of 717 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 10: paradigm and shift. Now, Look, the Democratic Party is no 718 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:09,400 Speaker 10: actual friend of the big tech platforms. When they actually 719 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,920 Speaker 10: get into power, they're frequently threatening to bust them up 720 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 10: when it comes to anti trust. They're, you know, Democrats, 721 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 10: just like Republicans, are actually very critical of what in 722 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,840 Speaker 10: America we call Section two thirty immunity, although they're critical 723 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 10: of it for very different reasons than Republicans tend to be. 724 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:27,319 Speaker 10: So they're actually not particularly favorable to Democrats when they 725 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,920 Speaker 10: get in office. Maybe between that and the fact that 726 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,880 Speaker 10: Joe Biden himself is obviously probably senile in the extreme 727 00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,400 Speaker 10: and quite literally barely even knows what day it is 728 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,799 Speaker 10: ending and why on any given day, you know, maybe 729 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 10: they're starting to kind of peel away towards Trump on 730 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,520 Speaker 10: the margins here. But I really do find the Elon 731 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,799 Speaker 10: Musk possibility here particularly fascinating if you look at kind 732 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 10: of the human fabric of Silicon Valley, you look at 733 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 10: kind of the Sergei Brains, Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, 734 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:59,600 Speaker 10: it's actually a fairly small cabal of people who are 735 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 10: kind of the true kingpins of this industry. You're probably 736 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 10: talking here about twenty to twenty five people at the most. 737 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 10: So when someone like Elon Musk can actually take over 738 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 10: a whole platform and really put it in a very 739 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,920 Speaker 10: different and in many ways in more positive direction, I'm 740 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,760 Speaker 10: really wondering whether that that actually has had a serious 741 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,759 Speaker 10: effect on how his various kind of classmates in that 742 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,120 Speaker 10: Silicon Valley upper class, how they view their relationship to 743 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 10: American politics as well. 744 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:25,880 Speaker 2: Well. 745 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 3: Elon sacked we was it eighty ninety percent of Twitter 746 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 3: now X's employees, and we were told the whole thing 747 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 3: was going to collapse, and yet it's more popular than ever. 748 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,160 Speaker 3: It seems to have more activity, more users than ever. 749 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,880 Speaker 3: And that's to me one of the most astonishing things 750 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 3: we've seen in the last couple of years, that you 751 00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 3: could sack ninety percent of a workforce, a well paid workforce, 752 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:59,400 Speaker 3: and really have no difference in the product in the 753 00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,239 Speaker 3: user experience. 754 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:03,439 Speaker 13: Yeah. 755 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 10: Look, I mean, as a conservative who is on Twitter 756 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,399 Speaker 10: a decent amount, probably more than I should be. You know, look, 757 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 10: I mean in some ways, I mean, the free speech 758 00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,440 Speaker 10: absolutism can be a bit of a problem. So you 759 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,640 Speaker 10: see some accounts that are viciously racist, you know, you know, 760 00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,880 Speaker 10: viciously anti Semitic, viciously anti Western that tend to get 761 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 10: boosted here. But you know, I mean that kind of 762 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 10: is just free speech playing out the way that it's 763 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:26,960 Speaker 10: supposed to be, and there are some downsides of that 764 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:28,719 Speaker 10: that are also a lot of upsides of that. You know, 765 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,600 Speaker 10: I know that I am not going to get banned 766 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 10: from Twitter tomorrow, Rita for simply saying the biological truism 767 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,480 Speaker 10: that there is male and there is female, there is 768 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:41,080 Speaker 10: xx chromosomal structure, and there's x y chromosomal structure. Back 769 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,520 Speaker 10: in the free elon must status quo anti back when 770 00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,000 Speaker 10: Jack Dorsey and the rest of the far left clown brigade, 771 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 10: back when they were running Twitter, you could literally be 772 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,560 Speaker 10: banned for the platform for saying what I just said 773 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,960 Speaker 10: on your show is that there are two genders. As 774 00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,120 Speaker 10: we have known throughout the entire history of humanity. And 775 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,520 Speaker 10: it's very nice to have a social platform now where 776 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,759 Speaker 10: you know you're not going to get just and or 777 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 10: shadow boundary Bloch Willy Nilly for saying such very common, sensible. 778 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 3: Things, Josh Hamma, thank you so much for your time 779 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:13,320 Speaker 3: this evening. Thank you, Riader still to come. Psychologists Claire 780 00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,319 Speaker 3: Row on the media's calls for under sixteens to be 781 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:21,239 Speaker 3: banned from social media. But does Generation Alpha face more 782 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:34,919 Speaker 3: pressing issues? Claire joins me next you're watching the Riata 783 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:39,360 Speaker 3: Panney Show. Joining me now is psychologist Claire Row. A 784 00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:43,640 Speaker 3: lot has been said recently, Claire about banning social media 785 00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:44,920 Speaker 3: for children under sixteen. 786 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 2: I've shared my thoughts on the issue. 787 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,000 Speaker 3: I'm not a fan of this agenda for a number 788 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,759 Speaker 3: of reasons, and one of them is surely this generation, 789 00:42:54,000 --> 00:43:01,160 Speaker 3: Generation Alpha have more immediate issues than just social media 790 00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:04,879 Speaker 3: being on TikTok, Instagram and all that entails. And one 791 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 3: of those things is hardcore pornography, which young children are 792 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:13,319 Speaker 3: being exposed to from a very young age. We know 793 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,600 Speaker 3: from research in the UK the average age of children 794 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:20,360 Speaker 3: accessing this hardcore porn is twelve years old. There's a 795 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,200 Speaker 3: lot of them that access it earlier. What is the 796 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:28,399 Speaker 3: impact on children from accessing this sort of material at 797 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,440 Speaker 3: such a young age. 798 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,480 Speaker 18: Yeah, thanks, Rita. And I think one of the major 799 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:37,120 Speaker 18: problems here is that, as you said, is younger and younger. 800 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,000 Speaker 18: I mean, I think there's a lot of kids who 801 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 18: are exposed to pornography way before twelve years old. I 802 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,960 Speaker 18: think here tamy Lot has been poot borders and aborigin 803 00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,480 Speaker 18: a lot of countries. So you know, it's not about 804 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 18: hiding the Playboy magazine under the bed anymore. And as 805 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 18: you can imagine, you know, all devices are Internet enabled, 806 00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:58,120 Speaker 18: so at the click of fingertips, you know, children can 807 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 18: access this. And I think I think this goes really 808 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 18: to the heart. You know, if we're going to have 809 00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:06,160 Speaker 18: that discussion on social media in general, it really is 810 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:10,360 Speaker 18: the Internet. It's not social media. It's about the world 811 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:14,360 Speaker 18: being brought into our children's bedrooms. And you know, for 812 00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,280 Speaker 18: you and I growing up, if we'd doubt our parents something, 813 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 18: they would have said, well, i'll tell you when you're older. 814 00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,440 Speaker 18: These days, a child will look back at you and say, oh, 815 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:25,320 Speaker 18: that's okay, I'll google it. I'll I'll google image it, 816 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 18: and you think, oh my goodness. You know, so parents 817 00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:31,759 Speaker 18: are forced into conversations earlier and earlier. And you know, 818 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:35,759 Speaker 18: as has been said in recent times, we underprotect our 819 00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:39,200 Speaker 18: children in the real world, you know, but we over 820 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,359 Speaker 18: so we overprotect them in the real world, I should say, 821 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:47,120 Speaker 18: but we underprotect them online. And it's about the entirety 822 00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 18: of you know, the world being brought into their bedrooms. 823 00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,360 Speaker 18: And I think for people who don't really understand the 824 00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:56,480 Speaker 18: impacts of pornography, very clear the research that it's not 825 00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:02,560 Speaker 18: just linking behaviors towards risky sexual behaviors, which it does. 826 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:07,480 Speaker 18: It actually has really clear links in aggression, violence, poor 827 00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:13,319 Speaker 18: academic results, poor socialization, poor friendship, and definitely very poor 828 00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:18,800 Speaker 18: mental health. But it's some more wide reaching than just 829 00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,400 Speaker 18: saying that if you watch pornography you're going to be 830 00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,920 Speaker 18: kind of sexually promiscuous. It's the damage of the far 831 00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:29,040 Speaker 18: more maps and for the young children stumbling across this material, 832 00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,840 Speaker 18: as you can imagine, I mean, it's very aggressive, violent material. 833 00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:37,480 Speaker 18: Some of it, it's very confronting and traumatizing. You can 834 00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:39,360 Speaker 18: imagine for an eight year old is stumbled onto some 835 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:40,120 Speaker 18: of those fites. 836 00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:46,319 Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, it has a powerful impact, often a very 837 00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:51,279 Speaker 3: powerfully negative impact on young adults, so you can only 838 00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 3: imagine young children who really don't comprehend precisely what it 839 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,759 Speaker 3: is they're seeing. Now, I want to ask you about 840 00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:03,200 Speaker 3: the federal budget expanded mental health funding that was applauded 841 00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,960 Speaker 3: by many, but there's very little extra money being put 842 00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:11,200 Speaker 3: towards the care for the most severely mentally ill people 843 00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:15,760 Speaker 3: in Australia, those for example, who were suffering from severe schizophrenia. 844 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:21,480 Speaker 3: The Albaneza government, it was very heavily criticized by former 845 00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:25,560 Speaker 3: chair of the Mental Health Australia Board Matt Berryman, who 846 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,840 Speaker 3: said the PM had refused to meet during his first 847 00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:32,799 Speaker 3: two years in office. We are spending a great deal 848 00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:36,120 Speaker 3: of money on mental health, Claire, but is the money 849 00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,320 Speaker 3: not going where it's most desperately needed. 850 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:40,040 Speaker 1: Well. 851 00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,800 Speaker 18: I think mental health is the only sector where the 852 00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:46,200 Speaker 18: more money we spend, the worse it gets, you know. 853 00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:47,840 Speaker 18: I mean, if we were going to put this amount 854 00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,840 Speaker 18: of money into something like cancer research, we'd want to 855 00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,880 Speaker 18: be looking at the results that you know, cancer was 856 00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:57,160 Speaker 18: coming down, or there was some type of less diagnoses 857 00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,480 Speaker 18: were coming down. But mental health seems to be the 858 00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:02,520 Speaker 18: only area where not only do we pile more money 859 00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:06,520 Speaker 18: into it, but the rates of mental health diagnoses keep 860 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:09,440 Speaker 18: going up, and then the circular argument is when we 861 00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:13,480 Speaker 18: need more funding. So one of the issues I have 862 00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:15,960 Speaker 18: is that the government has said said they're going to 863 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,760 Speaker 18: commit to something like five hundred and eighty million dollars 864 00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:24,719 Speaker 18: to come up with some type of online platform where 865 00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:28,839 Speaker 18: all these can call up for some telehealth, some very 866 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,560 Speaker 18: low intensity it calls it. You know, we're not talking 867 00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:35,520 Speaker 18: about clinical depression, we're talking about catching people early. 868 00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:36,399 Speaker 16: Now. 869 00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,919 Speaker 18: It sounds lovely, it's all well and good, and there's 870 00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:44,000 Speaker 18: a lot of research that shows the benefit of early intervention, obviously, 871 00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:48,160 Speaker 18: but we do already have that. There's millions of dollars 872 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:53,040 Speaker 18: poured into things like the Black Dog Institute, Headspace, you know, 873 00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:56,560 Speaker 18: mental health education through schools. There is a lot of 874 00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:00,480 Speaker 18: money there, and it's good to spend money. I'm worried 875 00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,160 Speaker 18: that if you actually are more up with severe end 876 00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,239 Speaker 18: and you may be having you know, ivepad clients with 877 00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:11,759 Speaker 18: suicidal tendencies, with people with severe psychiatric illnesses, there are 878 00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,480 Speaker 18: very few places for them to go to unless they're 879 00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,239 Speaker 18: run to salk out for the private system. The number 880 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:21,280 Speaker 18: of hospital beds I'm concerned about more in mental health warms, 881 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,239 Speaker 18: and I get that we can't just be reactionary and 882 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:28,000 Speaker 18: we can't just spend money there, but I do feel like, gosh, 883 00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:31,600 Speaker 18: you know, nearly six hundred million dollars to create some 884 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,880 Speaker 18: very vague, no details at the moment platform where you're 885 00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:38,239 Speaker 18: going to call up because you're not feeling that great 886 00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:40,320 Speaker 18: that day and you're going to get some kind of 887 00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:45,560 Speaker 18: free counseling. Yet I've got pretty you know, severe clients 888 00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,720 Speaker 18: and bad states where they need more than my support 889 00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:51,399 Speaker 18: and the private sector can offer. And I call around 890 00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:54,840 Speaker 18: trying to get some inpatient support through a hospital system 891 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:58,040 Speaker 18: and it's not available, and I'm worried about that end 892 00:48:58,080 --> 00:48:58,680 Speaker 18: of the system. 893 00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:04,000 Speaker 3: Well, you're working at the cold Face Clairo. Thank you 894 00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,920 Speaker 3: so much for your insights tonight. Do you appreciate it? 895 00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:11,640 Speaker 2: And that's it from me.
