Douglas Murray will be 6 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,600 Speaker 4: with me shortly to discuss that and much more. The 7 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 4: man behind the groundbreaking research into institutional anti Semitism at 8 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,319 Speaker 4: the BBC will join me later in the hour, and 9 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 4: Nick Cator will explain why the Tials are lurching further 10 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 4: left and talking about the left. 11 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 3: Tonight's edition of Lefties. 12 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 4: Losing It features totally normal folk telling us why Conservatives 13 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 4: are so weird. 14 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,160 Speaker 5: What is something weird about Conservatives? 15 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,560 Speaker 6: There is a almost a cull tesh vibe. I feel, 16 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 6: the way they operate within themselves. They refuse to listen 17 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 6: to outside people you know there, refusing to learn, essentially, 18 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 6: I think that is a large part of it. 19 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 4: Now we hear plenty from the tills about Conservative male 20 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 4: MPs in the Australian Parliament needing to lift their standards 21 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 4: of behavior, but nothing about their ideological bedfellows. The Greens 22 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 4: are indeed former green Lydia Thorpe who this week decided 23 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 4: to interrupt Liberal Senator Alex Antick as he tried to 24 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 4: speak about divisive welcome to country ceremonies. 25 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 7: Have a look at this now. 26 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 8: The idea that AFL fans and players are expected to 27 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 8: listen to these ceremonies when all they actually want to 28 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 8: do is watch the footy is extraordinary, and one suspects 29 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 8: that many viewers, who in principle wouldn't have had a 30 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 8: problem with these practices, are getting as fed. 31 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 9: Up Antice senathorpt of order. 32 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 10: No, I just want to interrupt his speech. 33 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 9: Seriously, can we just you know too minutes?

We're only 39 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 9: asking to listen in peace and quiet for two minutes, 40 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 9: that's all. It's not a big ask. Can we just 41 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 9: do that one? The galleys full of people watching the 42 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 9: behavior here, it's quite childish. Order, Senator Antique, you have 43 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 9: the core again. 44 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 8: I think we are making the point very clearly here. 45 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 8: Now it's two hundred and fifty thousand years, and as 46 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 8: we've said before, I don't need to be welcome to 47 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 8: my own country in nough to you, what we witch 48 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 8: witnessed before the match last weekend was a product of 49 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 8: letting this ride for too long? Have you had enough? 50 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 8: I certainly have. 51 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 4: Joining me now as senior fellow at the Menzies Research 52 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 4: Center and senior columnists with the Australian newspaper, Nick Kait Nick, 53 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 4: what did you make of Senator Thorpe's performance? The speaker 54 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 4: was certainly frustrated. 55 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 11: Yeah, look at what I love about Alexander as he 56 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 11: goes in there and says things will be perfectly uncontroversial 57 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 11: in probably ninety five percent of Australia, but of course 58 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 11: in the Senate Chamber, Oh. 59 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 10: No, how dare you? 60 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 11: And because Lydia Thorpe put on the usual display, I 61 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 11: think that's what she's there for, is entertainment, by the way, 62 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 11: But of course Alexander's perfectly absolutely correct. You know, the 63 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 11: welcome to country thing is a relatively modern invention and 64 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 11: it's completely misused. It's used for virtue signaling on the 65 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 11: one hand, and it's also used to make money, as 66 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 11: you know, by aboriginal groups, Aboriginal corporations who charge handsomely 67 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 11: to anybody who's willing to pay for their services. So 68 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 11: I'm with Alex on this one. Definitely yes. 69 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 4: And the interruptions they're saying, I'm just interrupting for the 70 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 4: sake of interrupting. 71 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 10: At least come. 72 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 3: Up with something. Go through the motions, pretend. 73 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 4: Now, let's go to the wacky world of academia. And 74 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 4: after the Australian National University reversed its decision to expel 75 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 4: a student who had expressed support for her Mass, we 76 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 4: learned that this student be Trice Tucker, is now running 77 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 4: to be president of the a and u's student association. 78 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 4: Let's just listen again to that infamous ABC interview where 79 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 4: she expressed unconditional support for a terrorist group. 80 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 11: You've also got to send a meshies to Hamas to 81 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 11: release the hostages, don't you. 82 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 12: Well, I actually say that Hamas deserve our unconditional support, 83 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 12: not because I agree with their strategy. 84 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 2: You can't condemn what her mass did in October. 85 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 12: I will not condemn what Hamas did. We must be unconditional, 86 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 12: but we must be critical also. 87 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 4: Nick, how will Jewish students fear if she's elected president 88 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 4: of the student association. 89 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 11: I think they feel distinctly uncomfortable. Really, it's a terrible thing. 90 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 11: I mean, I remember read too. I don't want to 91 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 11: sound like the old bloke again, but I remember the 92 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 11: days when universities were for the best and brightest. But 93 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 11: when you listen to people like this, do you see 94 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 11: that they're now open to the dullest and dimmest. This 95 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 11: woman she can't even have read. Can I just read 96 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 11: you one of her little messages? She says, just want 97 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 11: to affirm that Palestinians, it's got a four in the 98 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 11: middle of it, for some reason, have the right to 99 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 11: resist by any means necessary, as recognized under internal law. 100 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 11: What does she mean, Well, it's if she means international law. 101 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 11: Is she sheal is genesting that the right to resist 102 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 11: by raping, pillaging and killing babies is preserved under international law? 103 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 11: I think not. It's just the absolute. I don't know 104 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 11: that the no nothing quality of these people, and I 105 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 11: don't know what they're doing at university. It would seem 106 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 11: to be a waste of time educating them. 107 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 4: Well, yes, there's a few things I could say here, 108 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 4: but I will refrain. Before you go the tills are well, 109 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 4: they're going to the likes of socialists like AOC and 110 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 4: Bernie Sanders for advice. The Climate two hundred, the group 111 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 4: behind much of the TILLS campaign funding, is going to 112 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 4: host an event titled how to Win Lessons from Obama, 113 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 4: Bernie and AOC, featuring a Democrat spin doctor who has 114 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 4: worked on the campaigns of America's most left leaning politicians 115 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 4: and helped push the disastrous Green New Deal. Next, Sure, 116 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 4: the Tills just merge with the Greens. 117 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 3: I think that would make a lot of sense. 118 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 11: Well, they are right, they are the Gucci Greens. I 119 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 11: think we call them, don't we. They are the green 120 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 11: virtue signalers, people who they don't like to cool themselves 121 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 11: Green it's got a sort of you know, a sort 122 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 11: of wild tinted through it. But teal is much more 123 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 11: the sort of color that's at home within in places 124 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 11: like Wentworth in Sydney had about us tay that Australians 125 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 11: headline writers to task on this one, if I may reader, 126 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 11: because they described this as a socialist intelligence unit, which 127 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 11: I would have thought it's a contradiction in terms. But anyway, 128 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 11: perhaps they cannot keep that one. 129 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 4: Oh yes, that is a good point. Nick Kita, thank 130 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 4: you so much for your time this evening. 131 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 3: Joining me now. 132 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 4: Is best selling author of groundbreaking works including the Strange 133 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 4: Death of Europe, The Madness of Crowds, and his latest 134 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 4: The War on the West. Douglas Murray, Let's start in 135 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 4: the US, and apparently Kamala Harris grew up as a 136 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 4: middle class kid, and that's going to solve inflation. 137 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 3: When it comes to the economy. 138 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 5: Do you believe Americans are better off than there were 139 00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 5: four years ago? 140 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 10: So I was raised as a middle class kid. 141 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 11: When we talk about bringing down prices and making life 142 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 11: more affordable for people, one or two specific things you 143 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 11: have in mind for that. 144 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 10: Well, I'll start with this. I grew up a middle 145 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 10: class kid. 146 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 4: And now her running mate Tim Walls is also going 147 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 4: with that answer when asked about inflation. 148 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 9: Let's start with inflation. 149 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 5: What do you tell people who wake up frankly each 150 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 5: morning wondering how am I going to get buy financially? 151 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I tell them, Gamo Harrison, I know something about it. 152 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 9: It being a middle class vote, Douglas. 153 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 4: Is this strategy going to work? The media seem to 154 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 4: love it. The glowing coverage has not stopped for the pair, 155 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:44,119 Speaker 4: but is the electorate going to buy it? 156 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 13: It's very inting. There are really only two reasons to 157 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 13: do this line. The first is that both Harrison Walls 158 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 13: feel about the American public don't know who they are, 159 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 13: and that may be actually quite a good estimate of 160 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 13: where they stand. Tim Watz has only come across the 161 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 13: American public at largest radar in the last few weeks 162 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 13: since he has named the running mate. And it's true 163 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 13: that to a great extent, you know, people don't really 164 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 13: know Karla Harris, and so it seems to me fairly 165 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 13: obvious that their teams have said to them, you know, 166 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 13: you've got to establish yourself with the electorate and let 167 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 13: them know who you are. It's quite interesting that the 168 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 13: first and second most important jobs on earth are being 169 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 13: competed for by people who feel that the public don't 170 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 13: know who they are. But let me just go on 171 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 13: the second reason. The second reason you would say that 172 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 13: is because you don't have a policy, because you have 173 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:49,839 Speaker 13: absolutely no idea of how to bring down inflation and 174 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 13: to bring down the cost of living for average households 175 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 13: in America. I said this to you recently, Reta. It's 176 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 13: something that Kamala Harris has been particularly adept at throughout 177 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 13: her political career, which is that you ask her a 178 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,719 Speaker 13: question about a big issue, and she tells you how 179 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 13: big the issue is, and you say, what are you 180 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 13: going to do about this very important thing? And she says, 181 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 13: I'm going to explain to you why it's a very 182 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 13: important thing and why people like me think it is 183 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 13: a very important thing. Their fear about actually coming down 184 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 13: to any nitty gritty on policy is presumably because they 185 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 13: don't have any policy, or the policy they would like 186 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 13: to institute is one which they don't think the American 187 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 13: electorate would like, and so they're going to spring it 188 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 13: on them after the election when the electorate has graciously 189 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 13: agreed to vote them into office. 190 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 4: And Harris has been telling us bidics is working. She's 191 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 4: been saying that for some time, so to now kind 192 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 4: of switch it around and she's going to be the 193 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 4: solution to the problems caused in part by Bidenomics. Yeah, 194 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 4: it wouldn't be an easy, easy policy to sell. Now, 195 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 4: we've also got at the moment, this vitriol, hyperbolic retric 196 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 4: against Donald Trump. It has not stopped even really slowed down, 197 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 4: despite two assassination attempts in as many months. Indeed, they're 198 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 4: blaming Donald Trump for the attempts on his life. We've 199 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 4: been playing clips of that all week on this show. 200 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 4: It's curious given the left has long argued that words 201 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 4: can be violence, and they've sought to blame their ideological 202 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 4: opponents for acts of politically motivated violence, even protests or riots. 203 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 4: Old enough to remember last month, Douglas, when the likes 204 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,959 Speaker 4: of Alistair camp Will wanted you arrested for riots in Britain. 205 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 13: Look, I mean, it's an amazing thing. This Every side 206 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 13: in politics can get overheated. It goes without saying everyone 207 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 13: particular election season lobbs the biggest attacks they've got on 208 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 13: their opponents, and this season is no different from any 209 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 13: other to that extent. But the thing that is interesting 210 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 13: and different is that we have now had two assassination attempts, 211 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 13: not thwarted near the stage of assassination, but really serious plots, 212 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 13: including a headshot to the president, and the Democrats and 213 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 13: the Democrat media don't seem to have thought to tone 214 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 13: it down a bit. That slightly amazes me, because I mean, 215 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 13: when there is an attack on somebody of the political left, 216 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,839 Speaker 13: it should be axiomatic. It isn't always by any means, 217 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 13: but it should be axiomatic that people on the right say, 218 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 13: there's absolutely no justification for this. Now, look, some people 219 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 13: on the right don't do that, and they laugh about things, 220 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 13: and they laugh things off and so on. But in 221 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 13: actual fact, I would like to think that if there 222 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 13: had been two attempts on the life of Kamala Harris 223 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 13: in the last few weeks, that you would not find 224 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 13: what right wing media there is in America saying well, 225 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 13: she brought. 226 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 2: It on herself. 227 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 13: I mean, that's a quite amazing thing we've seen in 228 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 13: recent days in relation to Donald Trump, the left wing 229 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 13: media in America actually saying well, yeah, here's another assassination 230 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 13: attempt on him, but maybe he shouldn't use such hurty words. 231 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 13: And I find that astonishing. I also find it astonishing 232 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 13: that people can't understand that if you keep saying that 233 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 13: somebody is hitler, it becomes pretty unviable to think that 234 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 13: when somebody tries to kill the person you said was hitler, 235 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 13: that you have to say, well, I think he's hitler, 236 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 13: but I don't think people should kill him. I mean, 237 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 13: you know, as you say, readers since we live in 238 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 13: an era where people say that words have consequences, that 239 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 13: words can be violence and much more. How about just 240 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 13: sticking to the old idea that words are words and 241 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 13: violence is violence. But there is a very important crossover point, 242 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 13: which is incitement. And incitement laws are really pretty clear 243 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 13: in the US. But if you start saying that your 244 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 13: political opponent is going to take away every one of 245 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 13: the rights of the electorate, that they're going to never 246 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 13: go out of office, that they're going to be a 247 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 13: dictator for life, that literally hitler and more. Then you 248 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 13: probably have to take some responsibility for that. And you 249 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 13: know this is a long way out from the election. Still, 250 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 13: what will happen in the weeks to come? I dread 251 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 13: to think. 252 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 10: Absolutely. 253 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 4: You almost feel like another attempt on Donald Trump's life 254 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 4: is a matter of when, not if. 255 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 14: And it's just a. 256 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 3: Terrible state of affairs. 257 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 4: I want to ask you about what's happening in Australia 258 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 4: the UK. This war on free speech is intensifying. We 259 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 4: have discussed the UK in the past, but here in 260 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 4: Australia the government is introducing orwellyan misinformation and disinformation legislation. 261 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 3: You've written a. 262 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 4: Piece for the New York Post on these proposed laws 263 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 4: that the Albanese government says is. 264 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 3: All to us for our safety. 265 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 4: It's for our own good, Douglas, Is that. 266 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 3: How you see it? 267 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 13: Why didn't they just set up the Committee of Public 268 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 13: Safety like Robespiere and co. It's wonderful when they when 269 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 13: they couatured in this language. The idea what I wrote 270 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 13: was the idea that the Australian government, any more than 271 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 13: the British government or the American government, should be the 272 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 13: arbiter of what is true and what is false, is 273 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 13: absolutely ridiculous to my mind. And the important point is 274 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 13: it's not just that this particular Australian government can't do this, 275 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 13: It's that no Australian government should do it. It's not 276 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 13: that this particular democrat or labor administration in America or 277 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 13: the UK shouldn't get into this train. It's that nobody 278 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 13: could do it. There is nobody in the land, no 279 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 13: committee of bureaucrats and apparatnics you could set up that 280 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 13: would be able to legitimately decide rita what you and 281 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 13: I should be able to read and know. And as 282 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 13: I mentioned in that piece, I summoned up the memory 283 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 13: of a real remember Dan Andrews. 284 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 3: Oh, yes, right now, get. 285 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 13: I know it haunts us all still remember in COVID 286 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 13: when Dan Andrews decided to claim that an Australian having 287 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 13: a pint outside in the street or anywhere else, if 288 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 13: they were going to drink their pint of beer, should 289 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 13: make sure that they keep their mask on and drink 290 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 13: their pint through their mask. Now that was only a 291 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 13: couple of years ago, and Dan Andrews obviously had his 292 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 13: own problem since then, perhaps brought about by trying to 293 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 13: drink all of his drinks through a mask. Who knows. 294 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 13: But the interesting thing is that that passed for completely 295 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 13: acceptable disinformation and misinformation by a very serious high level 296 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 13: official in Australia. The idea that other officials will decide 297 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 13: what Australians should or should not be able to know 298 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 13: after people like Dan Andrews perverted the nature of their 299 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 13: office in that way, It's just laughable to me. We 300 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 13: don't have to have long memories anymore to remember a 301 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 13: recent occasion or set of occasions when people who thought 302 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 13: they knew better than us told us things that turned 303 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,640 Speaker 13: out to be utter fibbs. 304 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 4: Oh, Dan Andrews, The list with him is along the 305 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,400 Speaker 4: Victoria form of Victorian premier. I remember when he scolded 306 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 4: Victorians for watching sunsets at the beach. Apparently that was 307 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:37,719 Speaker 4: a danger to themselves and to their neighbors watching sunsets. 308 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 4: This madness is also happening in America to a lesser extent. 309 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 4: But I've got a constitution that protects free speech. But still, 310 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 4: California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill that would outlaw 311 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 4: memes and obvious AI satire videos on elections. This band 312 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 4: was inspired by this amusing clip mock the Democrats. 313 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 15: I had four years under the tutelage of the ultimate 314 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 15: deep State puppet, a wonderful mentor, Joe Biden. 315 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 10: Joe taught me rule number one carefully. 316 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 14: Hydra toll as mummies, I mean, really, Douglas, are Californians 317 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 14: so thick that they need to be protected from parody 318 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 14: videos and funny memes? 319 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 13: I was delighted to see that one meme online today 320 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 13: had Gavin Newsome dressed as a clown. I suppose Gavin 321 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 13: Newsom would be confused as to whether or not we 322 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 13: actually think he did appear on stage dressed as a clown. 323 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 13: But I think I trust the voters of California and 324 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 13: America a bit more than that. It's pretty amazing, isn't it. 325 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 13: I mean, Gavin Newsom would have a particular a strong 326 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 13: impulse for trying to stop mocking memes and much more. 327 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 13: That's because he's absolutely right for them. But once again 328 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 13: you get into this thing of I wonder who would 329 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 13: be just enough wise enough to decide what mockery was 330 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 13: and was not allowed. Maybe memes about Donald Trump would 331 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 13: be allowed in this system, Maybe memes about JD. Vance 332 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 13: would be allowed in this system. But I suspect they 333 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 13: would crack down double hard if the meme or the 334 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 13: joke or the satire was about Gavin news And that's 335 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 13: why you just can't give censorship tools to people like this. 336 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 13: They would not be able to resist using them to 337 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 13: their own advantage. And so you know, there is definitely 338 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 13: a problem in the information age of false information being 339 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 13: passed around. But my solution to that is that we 340 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 13: the public have to be much wiser to that, and 341 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 13: my experiences that most young people coming up are actually 342 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 13: wiser to that. We have to get wiser to that 343 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 13: because the alternative is some set of bureaucrats in Australia 344 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 13: or America or somewhere else deciding what you and I 345 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 13: are allowed to laugh about and what we're allowed to 346 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 13: find funny. And I at any rate wouldn't want to 347 00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 13: live in such a system. 348 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 4: No, and before you go, I have to get your 349 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 4: thoughts on Hesba's humiliation. It appears to be some of 350 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 4: Mossad's most creative work, and predictably it's been attacked by 351 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 4: many so called progressives in the West who are calling 352 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 4: the Pager plot and act of terrorism. 353 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 3: How do you see this? 354 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 4: I would have thought it was a very targeted attack 355 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 4: to try to minimize casualties amongst noncombatants. 356 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, whoever did it? And we should add 357 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 13: I mean, it obviously looks like it was the Israelis, 358 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 13: but I mean, Hezbla have quite a lot of enemies, 359 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 13: not least in the region. They've managed to destroy Lebanon 360 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:48,360 Speaker 13: since the nineteen eighties, once really thriving country that Lebanon. 361 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 13: The Lebanon has just suffered from this miseration and violence since, 362 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 13: particularly since Hesbula has had the grip it now has. 363 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 13: So they have a lot of enemies. But it looks 364 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 13: like it was probably is that did it, and the 365 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 13: people who claim this is terrorism, I mean, I would 366 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 13: just say, you know, the definition of terrorism is a 367 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 13: deliberate targeting of innocent civilians. This is exactly the opposite 368 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 13: of that. This is the deliberate targeting of hesbal A 369 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 13: terrorists in the most targeted, precise, and somewhat personal way imaginable. 370 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 5: This. 371 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: You know, the. 372 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 13: People who the people who say that you know this 373 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 13: is indiscriminate, seem not to have noticed that if you 374 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 13: have a Hesbalar Paiger device or a hesbeal a walkie 375 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 13: talkie on you, the chances are you may well be 376 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 13: a member of HESBLA, and HESBLA is a designated terrorist 377 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 13: organization and therefore you're just not innocent. So I suppose 378 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 13: Hesbola will try to spin this with their useful idiots 379 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 13: in the West, and these people are useful idiots at 380 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 13: this point or just enemies of the West, because let's 381 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 13: be frank about it, if you're the sort of person 382 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 13: as the people sort of howling about this on social 383 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 13: media and on some of the newspapers in the last 384 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 13: couple of days have been doing, if you're one of 385 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 13: those people howling about this, you can guarantee. They're the 386 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 13: same people who are howling about any collateral injuries in 387 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 13: any targeted strike, for instance in Gaza or southern Lebanon 388 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 13: in the last year or in recent years. You can 389 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 13: be guaranteed of that. And now they claim you also 390 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 13: shouldn't do the most precise thing of all, which is 391 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 13: making the pager devices of hes Blar operatives explode. Just 392 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 13: these guys should just come out and say it, which 393 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 13: is they want Israel to be destroyed. They want HESBLA 394 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 13: and Hamaz to win. They're on the side of the jihadists. 395 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 13: Why don't these people have the guts to come out 396 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 13: and say it, because Israel can do nothing, nothing from 397 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 13: the including the most targeted operation, without these people saying 398 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 13: that Israel shouldn't have done it. These people who are 399 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 13: making these complaints in the last few days are people 400 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 13: who want Israel to lose. That's fine, that's their view. 401 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 13: I want Israel to win. These people want HESBLA to thrive. 402 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 13: I don't. I want to see them gone. I want 403 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 13: to see them stop making misery in Israel and making 404 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 13: misery and Lebanon. But you know, there it is. It's 405 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 13: a very clear divide and just remember, of course, the 406 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 13: munition is that hes bolar uses are far from precise, 407 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 13: and when they throw hundreds and hundreds of rockets, unguided 408 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,919 Speaker 13: missiles and others into Israeli territory, it has consequences like 409 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 13: killing a dozen Israeli Drew's children whilst they're playing football. 410 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 13: So I take the Israeli targeted strikes on actual hez 411 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 13: Blard terrorists over hes Bala killing innocent children playing football 412 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 13: any day. And if other people can't see that distinction, 413 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 13: they probably can't see anything. 414 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 3: Rita Douglas Murray, thank you so much for your time. 415 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 13: To save me pleasure as always still to come. 416 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 3: Lefties losing it? 417 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,199 Speaker 4: And Donald Trump was a panelist on Gutfeld and he 418 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 4: was cracking jokes even about his latest brush with death. 419 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 3: Welcome back. 420 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 4: Now it's time for lefties losing it.

Yeah, and it 538 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 19: came out through bushes, and how many people would see that? 539 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 10: You know? 540 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 19: He really was very exceptional. 541 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 4: And he spoke about how incredibly lucky he has been 542 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 4: in both these assassination attempts, or perhaps it's something more 543 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 4: than luck. 544 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 19: Fortunately so far I've been very lucky, or something is 545 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 19: greater than all of us. 546 00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 18: Ooh, it is something is up. 547 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 19: There, someone who's up there, maybe watching. 548 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 9: Over so I think he's voting for you. 549 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 13: Yeah, it's funny. 550 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 18: I always thought the most dangerous job was feeding the view. 551 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 13: But you bring up God. 552 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 18: You bring up God and you've almost been killed twice, 553 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 18: do you think more about your own mortality and what 554 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 18: happens after. 555 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 10: You go move on? 556 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 19: Yeah, not about mortality, but I do think more about God, 557 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 19: because Okay, Butler was really the greatest of all. If 558 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 19: I'm not looking over there, and I mean a full 559 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 19: turn exactly ninety degrees, I wouldn't be here right now, 560 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 19: and your ratings would be a little bit lower. 561 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 9: Perhaps. 562 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, Now let's. 563 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 4: Bring in Sky News contributor Kosher, Gaeta Kosher. That was 564 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 4: quite the performance from the former president. 565 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 17: Indeed, he really was in great form, a little bit 566 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 17: of humor, very relaxed humility in terms of talking about 567 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 17: divine providence. If that was at play over here, and 568 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 17: it just goes to show again President really has a 569 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 17: lot of range. I think that's to read it about 570 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 17: him where he can go from a late night comedy 571 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 17: format like this to long form podcasts with younger gen 572 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 17: ze talent, to his short form tweets that he's famous 573 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 17: or infamous for, to know everything else in between, and 574 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 17: that is a very important asset in this noisy media 575 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,719 Speaker 17: landscape that we live in. Coupled with the fact that 576 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 17: means re media is such a gatekeeper for him. He 577 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 17: really has a way of getting his message, in his 578 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 17: personality through and that's why he is where he is. 579 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 4: I do wonder whether he's going to come back to 580 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 4: X completely. He's got just tens of millions of followers there. 581 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 4: He's persisting with truth, which I know is a business 582 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 4: that's now enormous, multimillion dollar business. 583 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 3: But the audience is on X. 584 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 4: And I want to as we get closer to the election, 585 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 4: whether he's going to be more prolific on that site. 586 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 3: And now, Robert F. 587 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 4: Kennedy Junior has released a new campaign ad outlining his 588 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 4: plans to work alongside Trump on tackling America's broken food 589 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 4: and pharmaceutical system. He's just a little bit of the ad. 590 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: Thousand and four. Robert F. Kennedy Junior was the darling 591 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 1: of liberals and the Democratic Party establishment, an environmentalist unafraid 592 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: to sue the biggest and most powerful polluters in America. 593 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 1: But then the Democrats began to abandon the ideals he 594 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: believed in, like peace, freedom of speech, honest government in 595 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: the working class. The rank and file Democrats didn't realize 596 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: it at first, but over the years, the DNC became 597 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: the tool of big money, the war machine, and the 598 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: very corporations Kennedy had battled his entire career kosher. 599 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 4: How do you see the RFK junior endorsement. Trump is 600 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 4: saying both RFK and Tulsi Gabbard, who's another former Democrat, 601 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 4: really step up their advocacy for him. They're doing speeches, 602 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 4: they're doing interviews, they're doing ads. Is it of any 603 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 4: value now that Kamala is the candidate? 604 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 10: I think so. 605 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 17: I think one is in terms of message, just having 606 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 17: former democrats', very prominent democrats endorse him, along with Silicon 607 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 17: Valley folks and hedge fund guys and rappers and Latino 608 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 17: music stars and data po poxifizers, yes, all of. 609 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 10: Them coming out. 610 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 17: It just makes him more palatable and more acceptable, I 611 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 17: think as a brand than he was four and certainly 612 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 17: eight years ago. In Rfk's case in particular, there is 613 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 17: a mathematical consequence to it that one to two points 614 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 17: of his support that he actually was able to consolidate 615 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 17: when he was running. 616 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 10: Telling them to vote is another thing. 617 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 17: And then also I think in his case is broadening 618 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 17: the message more around all this health and childhood health 619 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 17: and everything else, which will make Trump, I think, more 620 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 17: palatable to those suburban moms that he's always struggled with, 621 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 17: because they do a lot of them do trust rfk's 622 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 17: track record on this, and I think that does carry weight. Well. 623 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 4: We've also got prominent former Republicans or some people will 624 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 4: call them rhinos Republicans in name only, backing Harris. I 625 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 4: would argue that actually doesn't hurt Trump too much because 626 00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 4: they're precisely the figures that that Republican base well borderline 627 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 4: loads these days. I mean, that's why we have a 628 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 4: Trump because those characters really did undermine trust amongst their 629 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 4: voter base. But couldn't that hurt Trump? To have the 630 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:18,840 Speaker 4: likes of Romney and trying to think who else from. 631 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 3: The Chee, the Chinese. 632 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 10: The mckain's son, I think came out. 633 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,400 Speaker 17: I think you're right that by now, by twenty twenty 634 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 17: four not so much, because it's just crystallizing this whole 635 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 17: The shape of the two parties is changing, and it's 636 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 17: about populism versus the establishment, and those guys really personify establishment, 637 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 17: and I think to your point, it just crystallizes how 638 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 17: Trump has remade the Republican Party in his image, and 639 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 17: I think that just further further's that message, and it's 640 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 17: not going to get too many Democrats to vote for Khamla, 641 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:49,720 Speaker 17: I think. 642 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,319 Speaker 4: And Telsa Gabbart is on this message a lot too. 643 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 4: That the Democrat party she joined that she wanted to 644 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 4: run full president for is very different to what it 645 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 4: is now, and it's really departed a lot of those 646 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,280 Speaker 4: values that had a joining them in the first place. 647 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 4: Now this is a turn up for the books. The 648 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:12,280 Speaker 4: Teamsters Union, which has endorsed every Democrat candidate well for 649 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 4: at least a couple of decades, now, decided not to 650 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 4: endorse Kamala Harris. They won't be endorsing anyone this year 651 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 4: because their members are backing Trump. Indeed, three in five 652 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 4: of the members are supporting Trump. Here's how Donald Trump 653 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 4: reacted to the announcement. 654 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,800 Speaker 19: Democrats automatically have the Teamsters. They took a voter, and 655 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 19: I guess I was at sixty percent or more. 656 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 2: And that's a great honor. 657 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 9: I mean, it's really I've had. 658 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 19: A lot of teamsters work for me, a lot of 659 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 19: the concrete trucks, and you've built all these buildings, and 660 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:47,360 Speaker 19: you see in New York City, the teamsters, exclusively teamsters, 661 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:48,879 Speaker 19: I have to say, and they've done a great job. 662 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 2: But the vote of the Teamsters themselves. 663 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 19: Was very high for me and the leadership Sean O'Brien 664 00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 19: and the group, who are great people. They said we 665 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,360 Speaker 19: and endorsed the Democrats. So I think this is the 666 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 19: first time in many decades that they haven't endorsed Democrats. 667 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 3: Kosha. 668 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 4: Last time, around one in three of the Teamsters voted for. 669 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 3: Trump over Biden. 670 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,760 Speaker 4: To see that figure and out go to three and five, 671 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 4: it's quite a dramatic improvement for him. 672 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 3: Why do you think is behind that. 673 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 17: Huge I think it's a continuation of what Trump put 674 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,720 Speaker 17: his finger on when he first ran in twenty fifteen 675 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,319 Speaker 17: twenty sixteen, about the forgotten man and women and the 676 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 17: working class, which the membership of these unions and these 677 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,399 Speaker 17: teamsters represent, and so he already I think, got more 678 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 17: support from them than the traditional Republican candidates. So we 679 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,280 Speaker 17: just spoke about and with each election he just further 680 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,400 Speaker 17: solidified that and that contrast between the two parties and 681 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,239 Speaker 17: that reshaping that we just discussed is becoming so abundantly 682 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 17: clear to everybody that I think the working class, the 683 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 17: blue Dog Democrats, the Reagan Democrats, all those guys are 684 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,560 Speaker 17: coming over coming over to the side, and the Democrat 685 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 17: Party is losing them and just really isn't any longer 686 00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 17: the party of the working class as it used to be. 687 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,280 Speaker 4: It isn't, but it is the party of the affluent, 688 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 4: highly educated. There has been this switch, and is that 689 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:09,760 Speaker 4: going to be enough? Because you're seeing this current tactic 690 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:14,120 Speaker 4: where they're not being very forthcoming with policy ideas, They're 691 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 4: doing all sorts of backflips, but it seems to be 692 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,359 Speaker 4: working for them so far that a honeymoon period that 693 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,839 Speaker 4: began with Harris is still underway. 694 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,359 Speaker 17: The fact that the selection is so close and will 695 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 17: continue to be so close despite that, is so revealing 696 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 17: and so shocking. Even though we shouldn't be shocked at 697 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 17: this point that you can run, it really will be 698 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 17: a case where the candidate could be switched out sixty 699 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,959 Speaker 17: days before the election. You run, you don't do any 700 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 17: media or any policy prescriptions are never described. And still 701 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 17: even if she loses, it's going to be by a 702 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 17: reason then margin, which is quite telling. 703 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,400 Speaker 4: Absolutely, and part of the reason for that is the 704 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 4: overwhelmingly positive media she's receiving and the overwhelmingly negative meat 705 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 4: Trump is receiving. Conservative watchdog group Media Research Center has 706 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,280 Speaker 4: found that despite a second attempt on Donald Trump's life, 707 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,359 Speaker 4: the bulk of the mainstream media in the US has 708 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 4: not lowered the temperature in its anti Trump coverage. In 709 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 4: the first seventy two hours after the second assassination attempt, 710 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:27,320 Speaker 4: ninety five percent of the coverage on ABC, CBS, NBC. 711 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 3: Was negative for Trump. 712 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:36,279 Speaker 4: That's quite remarkable, Koshark, because this is such an astonishing 713 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 4: event to occur, to have an attempt on a candidate's life, 714 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,840 Speaker 4: a former president, to have it happened twice in two months, 715 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 4: and yet still no sympathy. Know, Okay, well maybe we 716 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,919 Speaker 4: should stop calling him a threat to democracy. 717 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 3: None of that is just doubling down. 718 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:54,000 Speaker 10: So shameful. 719 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 17: The last time this happened was forty years ago. For 720 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 17: Ronald Reagan, there's not been an attempt. So it's a 721 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 17: big deal to have not worn but two attempts, as 722 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 17: you said, in five weeks. And it really is shameful 723 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:05,800 Speaker 17: that they haven't done that. And I think you know 724 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 17: the reason is when you demonize somebody so much as 725 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,400 Speaker 17: they have, the logical endpoint of that is you're going 726 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:15,240 Speaker 17: to normalize any and every critique and active opposition against 727 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 17: that person, including an attempted assassination and taking their life. 728 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,320 Speaker 10: So it started with the rhetoric being. 729 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:25,920 Speaker 17: Investigated, being impeached, the lawfair being indicted, and then this 730 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,120 Speaker 17: is just the natural progression of that, where it's now 731 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,959 Speaker 17: normalized to either brush things under the rug that could 732 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:33,359 Speaker 17: be helpful to Trump or just. 733 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 10: Continue to put it in the context. 734 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 17: Well, if somebody really is the American incarnation of Hitler, 735 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 17: then I guess they deserve this. 736 00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 3: That's the subtext. 737 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,799 Speaker 4: And you just hate to think what would happen to 738 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,759 Speaker 4: the country if an assassination attempt is successful. 739 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:48,879 Speaker 3: And he has been so. 740 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:53,960 Speaker 4: Astonishingly lucky both these times, the first time that last 741 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:58,400 Speaker 4: millisecond shift in his head to look at a graph 742 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 4: that saved his life, and this time around to have 743 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,920 Speaker 4: a secret Service agent who in a golf course with 744 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,920 Speaker 4: all the trees and bushes, managed to spot the. 745 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 10: Rifle looking through. 746 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,920 Speaker 4: It's almost miraculous, really. 747 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:18,280 Speaker 17: And that issue of the perimeter not being properly scanned 748 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,400 Speaker 17: and safeguarded is obviously picking up heat. But you know, 749 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,200 Speaker 17: how many times can someone be lucky? So he should 750 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,880 Speaker 17: be getting presidential level security right now, or having his 751 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:28,920 Speaker 17: own plus security. 752 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,319 Speaker 4: I mean, there's no person in the country right now, 753 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 4: and there's no one in America who's in greater danger 754 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:36,400 Speaker 4: than Donald Trump. 755 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,200 Speaker 3: They've painted him. 756 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 4: As a new age Hitler, a threat to democracy for 757 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,719 Speaker 4: eight years now, and there's enough nutbags out there who 758 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 4: are got it into their heads that they're going to 759 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 4: save the Republic from Trump. Koshugata, thank you so much 760 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,319 Speaker 4: for your time this evening pleasure. After the break, the 761 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:59,480 Speaker 4: man behind the groundbreaking research into institutional anti Semitism at 762 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 4: the BBE will join me. 763 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 3: Welcome back. Now. 764 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:15,240 Speaker 4: We've previously discussed the research led by British lawyer Trevor Assison, 765 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:19,440 Speaker 4: which found that the BBC breached its own editorial guidelines 766 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,920 Speaker 4: for news coverage more than fifteen hundred times during the 767 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:26,759 Speaker 4: height of the Israel her mass war. Israel was associated 768 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:31,040 Speaker 4: with genocide fourteen times more than her Maas who carried 769 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,760 Speaker 4: out the mass terrorist attacks against Israelis. On October seven, 770 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,480 Speaker 4: the BBC's Arabic channel was found to be one of 771 00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 4: the most biased of all global media outlets against Israel, 772 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 4: with eleven instances in which their coverage featured reporters who 773 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:52,240 Speaker 4: publicly supported her mass joining me now is senior partner 774 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 4: at the Assison Law Offices, Trevor Assisson. 775 00:41:56,360 --> 00:42:00,799 Speaker 3: Trevor is the BBC institutionally and semitic? 776 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:05,640 Speaker 4: And what is behind these breaches of editorial guidelines. 777 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:11,239 Speaker 2: I think what's really behind these breaches, and they're systemic breaches, 778 00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 2: is a total management failure to control the journalists at 779 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:21,480 Speaker 2: the BBC. So I've not suggested that there's anti semitism. 780 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,440 Speaker 2: I deliberately avoided doing that because it's not my concern 781 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,480 Speaker 2: to look at the motives behind individuals or the organization. 782 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:36,160 Speaker 2: What I've looked at is systemic breaches of the BBC's 783 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:41,600 Speaker 2: own guidelines to be impartial. And the reason behind it 784 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 2: really is that the BBC itself, although it has a 785 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:48,000 Speaker 2: deal with the British people, it will receive four billion 786 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,120 Speaker 2: pounds a year in return for which it promises to 787 00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 2: give impartial news, but they have absolutely no management controls 788 00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,440 Speaker 2: at all in place to check whether or not they 789 00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 2: actually do it. I think think of the fundamental problem 790 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:02,880 Speaker 2: behind what's going on. 791 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:09,799 Speaker 4: Well, these editorial guideline breaches by the BBC included all 792 00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:15,840 Speaker 4: sorts of areas accuracy and partiality, editorial values, public interests. 793 00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:20,600 Speaker 4: You mentioned that they're publicly funded. Our own public, if 794 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 4: publicly funded broadcaster, the ABC here in Australia, has a 795 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:30,200 Speaker 4: similar worldview to the BBC in your experience, are taxpayer 796 00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:34,160 Speaker 4: funded broadcasters more likely to indulge in this sort of 797 00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,520 Speaker 4: unrelentingly biased coverage against Israel. 798 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:44,799 Speaker 2: I think that public sector broadcasters are as likely as 799 00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:49,719 Speaker 2: any other news outlets to be captured by a particular viewpoint. 800 00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:54,000 Speaker 2: The people within the senior management will tend to hire 801 00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,799 Speaker 2: people who they think to be right thinking, who think 802 00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,960 Speaker 2: like them, and those people will tend to be high 803 00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,160 Speaker 2: and do and be promoted. It's very difficult for a 804 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:07,040 Speaker 2: public sector broadcaster to be impartial, or for any broadcaster 805 00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:11,320 Speaker 2: to be impartial, unless it has very careful, proper management 806 00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:15,160 Speaker 2: systems in place. The BBC absolutely doesn't. I've been approached 807 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:20,400 Speaker 2: by Australians concerned with the Australian public sector broadcaster, and 808 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,919 Speaker 2: I believe that there are serious problems there as well. 809 00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:26,880 Speaker 2: I think what's really at stake is that journalists, some 810 00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:31,799 Speaker 2: journalists who clearly have very very negative views, should not 811 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:36,640 Speaker 2: be just allowed to They should be sent to something 812 00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,319 Speaker 2: more harmless like Gardener's question time where they can do 813 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:44,560 Speaker 2: less harm. They shouldn't be reporting on something where they 814 00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:48,160 Speaker 2: are clearly using the platform to express their own personal 815 00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:52,520 Speaker 2: views and the guidelines say we will not express our 816 00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:56,480 Speaker 2: journalist's personal views. Well, that's a myth. It's been exploded 817 00:44:56,520 --> 00:45:01,959 Speaker 2: by my report and that kind of breach. Another type 818 00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:06,680 Speaker 2: of absolutely clear breach is that Hamas is a dictatorship 819 00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:10,160 Speaker 2: that controls the reporting that comes out of Garza Strip 820 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:14,600 Speaker 2: and the BBC specifically states that whenever they're reporting from 821 00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:18,719 Speaker 2: somewhere with reporting restrictions, they'll tell the audience. They never 822 00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:22,920 Speaker 2: tell the audience that they allow these people to report 823 00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,040 Speaker 2: as though what they're telling us the truth, which it 824 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,839 Speaker 2: clearly isn't, and they know the BBC knows that isn't 825 00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,720 Speaker 2: the truth. They've got an obligation to say so they fail. 826 00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:38,160 Speaker 4: Now, your report does illustrate that the lines between opinion 827 00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:43,160 Speaker 4: and impartial, biased news reporting have been completely blurred. 828 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:45,600 Speaker 3: How is that fixed? 829 00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,800 Speaker 4: Because this is an issue that goes beyond the BBC. 830 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,359 Speaker 4: You've got so many news reporters these days who think 831 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:56,120 Speaker 4: they're in the opinion game and they want to state 832 00:45:56,160 --> 00:46:01,080 Speaker 4: their opinion, and there's I think a diminishing it from 833 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:02,520 Speaker 4: the public in media. 834 00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:08,000 Speaker 2: Because of that, the response to my report, which I 835 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 2: think may be the most in depth analysis of any 836 00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,719 Speaker 2: of the BBC's output that's ever been done. We looked 837 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,840 Speaker 2: at nine million words and it's worth saying that the 838 00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:24,000 Speaker 2: BBC criticized the report for its methodology without before they'd 839 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:29,400 Speaker 2: read it. The methodology is normal standard litigation type analysis 840 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,279 Speaker 2: which I've been doing in my entire career, and in 841 00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:36,439 Speaker 2: parallel with that, an entirely new, cutting edge approach by 842 00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:41,400 Speaker 2: data scientists led by a data scientist expert in the 843 00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:47,399 Speaker 2: UK but mainly Israeli's from Israeli universities, and that supported 844 00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:53,800 Speaker 2: the completely standard, old style litigation approach. So the BBC 845 00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:59,320 Speaker 2: NIEJA reaction attacking the report on methodology, what they're actually facing. 846 00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:03,680 Speaker 2: Instead of one methodology, they're separating, facing two separate methodologies, 847 00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:09,920 Speaker 2: dealing in real depth, as I said, over searching for 848 00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:14,440 Speaker 2: over nine million words of product, and the net result 849 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:18,759 Speaker 2: is unremitting bias. Whether it can be resolved, I think 850 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:23,120 Speaker 2: is a question for BBC management. They've got to control 851 00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,840 Speaker 2: their journalists and at the moment they're just not getting 852 00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,480 Speaker 2: a grip at all. They're just totally out of control. 853 00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:35,520 Speaker 4: Now, the BBC is hugely influential in world media. They 854 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:41,759 Speaker 4: have viewers listeners across television, radio, social media streaming, They've 855 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:45,560 Speaker 4: got global news outlets. They claim to be the most 856 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:50,360 Speaker 4: trusted news brand in the UK. You said they've disputed 857 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:54,759 Speaker 4: the methodology you've used in your report. Beyond that, have 858 00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:58,279 Speaker 4: they had a response to your damning findings? Are they 859 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 4: at least attempting to do better in the future. 860 00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,839 Speaker 2: Well, one of my proposals was that they should have 861 00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:10,680 Speaker 2: a thematic review of their Middle East reporting. Now three 862 00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,600 Speaker 2: days after I sent them the report, they announced that 863 00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:17,200 Speaker 2: they were conducting a thematic review of their Middle East reporting. 864 00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,880 Speaker 2: So it's clearly bothered them that the report's arrived. And 865 00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:26,600 Speaker 2: I think the report they realize has totally destroyed what 866 00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:29,200 Speaker 2: trust there may still have been in the minds of 867 00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:32,480 Speaker 2: many people that the BBC is doing its job properly. 868 00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:35,760 Speaker 2: The question is whether or not the BBC will actually 869 00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,520 Speaker 2: read it with an open mind, and that remains to 870 00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,400 Speaker 2: be seen. If not, I have a fear that this 871 00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,600 Speaker 2: matter may have to appear before an English judge and 872 00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:48,560 Speaker 2: an English child's will they understand what impartiality means? Even 873 00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:51,319 Speaker 2: if the BBC don't, and I think that they will 874 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,680 Speaker 2: find the BBC is in absolutely hopeless breach time and 875 00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:56,920 Speaker 2: time again of its own rules. 876 00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,760 Speaker 4: Yes, and it's not just the BBC. I would argue 877 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,960 Speaker 4: your own ABC breaches its charter daily. It would be 878 00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:07,400 Speaker 4: wonderful if you could run a review of their work 879 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,640 Speaker 4: and only said Australians have already been in contact with 880 00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:12,799 Speaker 4: you requesting just that. 881 00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,080 Speaker 3: Thank you so much for your time this evening. 882 00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:16,839 Speaker 2: Thank you very much. 883 00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:19,640 Speaker 3: That's it from May. I'll see you tomorrow night at 884 00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:20,680 Speaker 3: nine point thirty four. 885 00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:24,320 Speaker 4: Lefty's losing It, Don't go anywhere.
