- 0:00Speaker 1: Wait wait, gentleman, welcome to the Late tur Base.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Well, it's great to have your company on the Late Debate.
- 0:09Speaker 3: I'm James Macpherson with Freileitch and Caleb Bond coming up tonight.
- 0:14Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk's widow speaks out against online conspiracies surrounding her
- 0:19Speaker 3: husband's death. The Prime Minister gets a dose of reality
- 0:22Speaker 3: from a teenager who tells him.
- 0:24Speaker 2: To his face that kids will simply work around.
- 0:26Speaker 3: The social media ban and reform UK gets an endorsement
- 0:30Speaker 3: that probably didn't need. Bonnie Blue takes time out from
- 0:34Speaker 3: producing pornography to talk up Nigel Faraja's hardline immigration policy.
- 0:39Speaker 4: I see what you did there, Joe.
- 0:40Speaker 2: We'll get to all of that shortly.
- 0:43Speaker 3: But first Father, Christmas doesn't come for another fourteen days.
- 0:46Speaker 3: But the Christmas Grinch, well he's arrived early.
- 0:49Speaker 2: In Melbourne.
- 0:50Speaker 3: The Grinch, by which I mean the Hume Council, has
- 0:53Speaker 3: ordered a family to take down their Christmas light display,
- 0:55Speaker 3: despite the fact everyone in the neighborhood loves it.
- 1:00Speaker 5: Stephen Jacob's home is the light of Huron Road, a
- 1:04Speaker 5: dazzling Christmas display, but Hume City Council isn't happy.
- 1:08Speaker 6: Well, they're a bit like this s crnch here Christmas
- 1:11Speaker 6: crinch ruining the fund for everyone. I received a letter
- 1:14Speaker 6: in the mail saying I had twenty one days to
- 1:16Speaker 6: remove no items out in front. I would say twenty
- 1:21Speaker 6: dollars fine.
- 1:22Speaker 5: And if the nature strip feature goes, Stephen says he'll
- 1:25Speaker 5: take down the whole display, something neighbors don't want.
- 1:30Speaker 3: Stephen Jacob's crime well, he was given verbal consent but
- 1:34Speaker 3: failed to get written permission to have his magnificent Christmas
- 1:37Speaker 3: light display extend onto the nature strip. Jacob said he'd
- 1:42Speaker 3: spent thousands of dollars and two months putting the Christmas
- 1:45Speaker 3: display together after speaking with four different council officers about
- 1:50Speaker 3: his plans. Will now he's been threatened with a nine
- 1:52Speaker 3: thousand dollar fine if he doesn't pack it all up
- 1:55Speaker 3: by December twenty third, although Kayleb, I'd have to say
- 1:58Speaker 3: the fine would.
- 1:59Speaker 2: Probably be cheaper than paying the power bill.
- 2:01Speaker 4: Well, that may will be true. The bloke's got rheumatoid
- 2:05Speaker 4: arthatis as well. So he's gone to a fair bit
- 2:08Speaker 4: of effort to do this, and the council has still
- 2:11Speaker 4: taken it upon itself to go along and say, you know,
- 2:15Speaker 4: take the thing down or you'll be find nine thousand dollars.
- 2:18Speaker 4: I mean, we talked about that poor old lady in
- 2:20Speaker 4: Ballarat the other night where the council wants to find
- 2:23Speaker 4: her five hundred dollars because they don't like that her
- 2:26Speaker 4: garden is forty centimeters larger than it should be or something.
- 2:29Speaker 1: They're threatening him with a nine thousand dollars fine.
- 2:32Speaker 4: But he puts some removable Christmas decorations up on a
- 2:36Speaker 4: nature strip. I mean, is the council doing anything to
- 2:39Speaker 4: maintain the nature strip? In most cases they do very
- 2:42Speaker 4: little with the nature strip. If you ask them become
- 2:43Speaker 4: a moet, they say, moe it to yourself.
- 2:46Speaker 1: I mean, if he wants to put.
- 2:47Speaker 4: Some council to put some Christmas lights on it, that
- 2:49Speaker 4: to bring some joy to some people, why do you
- 2:52Speaker 4: slap the bloke with a nine thousand dollars fine.
- 2:54Speaker 7: And the fact that he got verbal confirmation he consulted
- 2:58Speaker 7: with the council.
- 3:00Speaker 8: He did everything right.
- 3:02Speaker 7: In fact, I would say even consulting with council officers
- 3:05Speaker 7: no less than four of them is actually above and
- 3:08Speaker 7: beyond what a normal person would or should do. He's
- 3:13Speaker 7: gotten out of his way to appease them. But the
- 3:16Speaker 7: bureaucrats at these councils, honestly, we talked about it the
- 3:21Speaker 7: other night.
- 3:21Speaker 8: They need to be studied.
- 3:23Speaker 7: Who is it sitting at Hume Council who decided, Yeah,
- 3:28Speaker 7: this guy who consulted with four of us, who got
- 3:31Speaker 7: verbal permission, who isn't bothering anyone, Let's threaten him with
- 3:35Speaker 7: a nine thousand dollars fine unless he takes his decorations
- 3:39Speaker 7: down before Christmas Eve.
- 3:41Speaker 3: You know what I don't get about this, right, is
- 3:43Speaker 3: that he's been given effectively fourteen days to pack it up,
- 3:47Speaker 3: which would be two days before Christmas. So if you're
- 3:50Speaker 3: going to give him fourteen days, which goes to December
- 3:52Speaker 3: twenty third, why not just give the guy sixteen days
- 3:56Speaker 3: seventeen days so he can have it to Christmas and
- 3:58Speaker 3: then say okay, it away and don't.
- 4:00Speaker 2: Do it again. That would have been the smart move.
- 4:02Speaker 4: Because it's the principle of it, and the principle is
- 4:05Speaker 4: that you've just got to be an absolute pain in
- 4:07Speaker 4: the backside. That's what the council believes. And he said,
- 4:10Speaker 4: by the way, that when he spoke to these council offices,
- 4:13Speaker 4: they told him that he didn't need explicit permission. He
- 4:17Speaker 4: was led to believe that he didn't have to write
- 4:19Speaker 4: to anyone, that the word he had of the council
- 4:22Speaker 4: offices he'd spoken to was enough to say it would
- 4:25Speaker 4: be okay to do it, and then they slap him
- 4:27Speaker 4: with a nine thousand dollar fine. Honestly, find better things
- 4:31Speaker 4: to do with your life. If you're one of the
- 4:33Speaker 4: people at Hume Council who has overseen this and has
- 4:37Speaker 4: been part of it, look, I'm glad I'm not coming
- 4:40Speaker 4: to your family Christmas. Put it that way, talking about
- 4:42Speaker 4: Christmas sort of being ruined in some places. If you
- 4:46Speaker 4: live in Melbourne, you'd probably know about the Maya Windows.
- 4:49Speaker 4: They put on a big Christmas display every year, and
- 4:52Speaker 4: in Sydney, David Jones normally does it. They have their
- 4:55Speaker 4: Christmas windows in the middle of the city, except they're
- 4:58Speaker 4: not doing that this year. They decided instead of Christmas,
- 5:03Speaker 4: which is you know, joyous and wonderful, and they normally
- 5:06Speaker 4: have a quite an elaborate display that people line up
- 5:09Speaker 4: on the morning that it's open to come and see,
- 5:11Speaker 4: they instead decided they'd have what you can see there,
- 5:14Speaker 4: which is actually just promotion for a bunch of luxury
- 5:18Speaker 4: brands and their own loyalty program. They decided that they
- 5:23Speaker 4: would give promotion not to Christmas itself, but the loyalty
- 5:27Speaker 4: mascot for David Jones, who happens to be Domino the Dalmation,
- 5:32Speaker 4: and people.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Rocked up and gone, what's this?
- 5:35Speaker 4: I mean, I came along to see the lovely Christmas
- 5:37Speaker 4: display that David Jones has been doing for decades. It's
- 5:40Speaker 4: not there until we get some bloody Dalmatian. What's a
- 5:42Speaker 4: Dalmatian have.
- 5:44Speaker 2: To do with Christmas?
- 5:45Speaker 4: Well, David Jones has said to this has been a
- 5:48Speaker 4: bit of a backlash about it. They say, we understand
- 5:50Speaker 4: how deeply sentimental the Christmas windows are for many families
- 5:55Speaker 4: and truly appreciate the feedback.
- 5:57Speaker 1: This year, we're.
- 5:58Speaker 4: Celebrating a very rewarding Christmas, a season all about the
- 6:03Speaker 4: joy of giving cherishing moments with loved ones and enjoying
- 6:07Speaker 4: the benefits of our new loyalty program.
- 6:10Speaker 1: Yes, that's always what I think.
- 6:12Speaker 4: Of when I think of Christmas. To reflect this theme,
- 6:15Speaker 4: the Elizabeth Street windows featured Domino the Dalmation, our symbol
- 6:19Speaker 4: of loyalty, brought to life through animation in our campaign.
- 6:24Speaker 4: I mean, what a flowery loader buncom.
- 6:28Speaker 2: That is, you've.
- 6:28Speaker 4: Taken away the Christmas display and like, you know, I know,
- 6:32Speaker 4: Christmas has become a commercial being now right, but this
- 6:36Speaker 4: is like taking it to the nth degree. You've taken
- 6:40Speaker 4: away a traditional Christmas display that people love and said
- 6:44Speaker 4: that Christmas is actually about the benefits of the new
- 6:47Speaker 4: David Jones loyalty program.
- 6:49Speaker 2: How does the jingle go? There's no other store like
- 6:51Speaker 2: Data Jones. Yeah, well, thank god.
- 6:54Speaker 3: Even the apology was just an excuse to promote their
- 6:57Speaker 3: loyalty program.
- 6:58Speaker 7: Oh it's so so bad. And I don't understand what
- 7:02Speaker 7: the thinking is behind this, because I remember going to
- 7:06Speaker 7: the Maya Windows when I grew up in Melbourne and
- 7:09Speaker 7: every year Mom and Dad would take us and it
- 7:12Speaker 7: was so exciting and there would be people lined up,
- 7:15Speaker 7: and the same thing at David Jones in Sydney. People
- 7:18Speaker 7: would buy tickets, they would line up. It would bring
- 7:21Speaker 7: thousands of people to the store.
- 7:24Speaker 2: See the massive crowd outside.
- 7:25Speaker 7: The crowds enthralled with the beauty that is David Jones's
- 7:30Speaker 7: own marketing campaign for its loyalty program.
- 7:34Speaker 2: What does festive fare me?
- 7:36Speaker 3: Oh, it's just such a nigners happy Holidays.
- 7:41Speaker 7: It's actually worse than Happy Holidays. Festive fare is so
- 7:45Speaker 7: empty and meaningless. But again, whoever was in charge of
- 7:49Speaker 7: David Jones's marketing this Christmas should be sacked because that
- 7:53Speaker 7: is ridiculous.
- 7:54Speaker 4: Well, they have heard some of the feedback, because they've
- 7:58Speaker 4: come out this evening after this already took off today
- 8:01Speaker 4: and put out another statement in which they say, we
- 8:04Speaker 4: acknowledge that this year's display has fallen short of expectations
- 8:08Speaker 4: and has not reflected what many in the community were
- 8:10Speaker 4: hoping for. We greatly value our customers feedback and we'll
- 8:14Speaker 4: take it on board as we plan future celebrations. We
- 8:18Speaker 4: look forward to delighting our customers next year.
- 8:21Speaker 2: Can I ask a question?
- 8:22Speaker 3: They say, it's the Christmas display has fallen short of
- 8:25Speaker 3: people's expectations.
- 8:27Speaker 2: Do you what do you think people were expecting?
- 8:29Speaker 4: Well, they weren't expecting Christal Nation that's promoting their loyalty.
- 8:33Speaker 2: Program expecting Christmas. They be shocked at that. Oh, well, unbelievable.
- 8:37Speaker 4: So maybe we'll get the Christmas display back next year.
- 8:40Speaker 4: But like this is just it's a great example of
- 8:43Speaker 4: the corporate world pushing it a little too far. Like
- 8:46Speaker 4: Christmas is already corporatized without turning it into a promotion
- 8:50Speaker 4: for your loyalty program and taking away a lovely thing
- 8:54Speaker 4: that people like about Christmas. This is where people in
- 8:56Speaker 4: marketing don't seem to understand that, you know, if it
- 8:59Speaker 4: ain't broke, don't fix it, and you'll get more people
- 9:01Speaker 4: through the door if you have a nice Christmas display
- 9:04Speaker 4: out the front instead of some big ad for a
- 9:06Speaker 4: luxury brand and your loyalty program.
- 9:09Speaker 1: And they haven't taught it.
- 9:09Speaker 4: They've canceled Christmas so soon, all the Christmas gear inside.
- 9:12Speaker 4: They just thought that the one thing that they're really
- 9:15Speaker 4: known for, they wouldn't do bizarre.
- 9:18Speaker 7: To be honest, when you look at that, it almost
- 9:20Speaker 7: seems as though they actually forgot they even had to
- 9:23Speaker 7: put on Christmas stalls. That's what that looks like. And
- 9:26Speaker 7: someone's gone, oh, shoot, we've totally forgotten. But let's change
- 9:30Speaker 7: gears a little bit and head over to the US
- 9:33Speaker 7: where the widow of Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated earlier
- 9:37Speaker 7: this year, Erica Kirk. She has spoken out now since
- 9:42Speaker 7: Charlie Kirk's death.
- 9:43Speaker 8: You would expect this to.
- 9:44Speaker 7: Be a moment where all of America left and right
- 9:48Speaker 7: could come together and condemn political violence and get behind
- 9:53Speaker 7: Charlie Kirk's mission, which was through freedom of speech, traveling
- 9:58Speaker 7: around and having political discussions. Well, we saw in the
- 10:03Speaker 7: aftermath of Charlie Kirk's death what the left did. Many
- 10:07Speaker 7: of them celebrated his murder, but on the right, something
- 10:13Speaker 7: very disturbing has happened. There has been this fracturing of
- 10:18Speaker 7: conservative voices, many of whom have started peddling conspiracy theories
- 10:24Speaker 7: as to why Charlie Kirk.
- 10:26Speaker 8: Died, how he died.
- 10:28Speaker 7: One of the most prominent people pushing this is Candice Owens,
- 10:33Speaker 7: who five days a week since he was murdered, has
- 10:37Speaker 7: produced an hour long podcast analyzing how it couldn't possibly
- 10:43Speaker 7: have been the guy Tyler Robinson that the FBI caught.
- 10:47Speaker 7: It must actually have been someone else, an internal cover
- 10:50Speaker 7: up by TPUSA. She also thinks the French and Israeli
- 10:55Speaker 7: governments are somehow involved in this. It is absolutely bonkers.
- 10:59Speaker 7: By thanks to all of our conspiracy theories, Kennie Owens'
- 11:03Speaker 7: podcast is.
- 11:04Speaker 8: Now number one in the world. Now.
- 11:08Speaker 7: Paul Erica Kirk, who's still grieving her husband, trying to
- 11:12Speaker 7: steward this organization, well, she has just had enough.
- 11:16Speaker 8: Have a look.
- 11:17Speaker 9: But here's my breaking point on that. Come after me,
- 11:21Speaker 9: call me names, I don't care, call me what you want,
- 11:24Speaker 9: go down that rabbit hole, whatever. But when you go
- 11:28Speaker 9: after my family, my turning Point, USA family, my Charlie
- 11:32Speaker 9: kirkshow family, When you go after the people that I love,
- 11:35Speaker 9: and you're making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single
- 11:40Speaker 9: episode going after the people that I love because somehow
- 11:45Speaker 9: they're in on this.
- 11:47Speaker 4: No.
- 11:49Speaker 7: Now, it has been this relentless campaign to try and
- 11:53Speaker 7: smear everyone in Turning Point USA donors, as I said,
- 11:58Speaker 7: these Rley and French government as somehow being part of
- 12:02Speaker 7: this assassination, which is mind boggling. But James, it has
- 12:09Speaker 7: torn apart the right and Republican Party in the US.
- 12:13Speaker 7: They're polling since all this happened. You had expect it
- 12:15Speaker 7: to go up. It's actually nose dived and never has
- 12:19Speaker 7: there been more division on the conservative side of politics.
- 12:22Speaker 2: I would have thought it was pretty obvious.
- 12:23Speaker 3: Candorce Owens is doing quite well from the death of
- 12:26Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk. You mentioned her podcast has been number one
- 12:30Speaker 3: since Charlie Kirk's death.
- 12:32Speaker 2: Her views or her listens.
- 12:34Speaker 3: Per episode of increased twenty five percent since she's been
- 12:38Speaker 3: doing this whole who killed Charlie Kirk conspiracy stuff, even
- 12:42Speaker 3: down to the point that she says there's a big
- 12:44Speaker 3: conspiracy around where Charlie Kirk has been buried, and of
- 12:48Speaker 3: course his burial plot has not been made public because
- 12:51Speaker 3: as we saw after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, psychos
- 12:56Speaker 3: from the left kept on going on and on about
- 12:59Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk and wishing ill on his family, and so
- 13:03Speaker 3: they've kept the burial plot secrets so that they can
- 13:05Speaker 3: go and mourn without fear of being confronted by lefties
- 13:11Speaker 3: at the grave site. But that's not enough for Candace Owens.
- 13:14Speaker 3: She believes there's some kind of conspiracy even behind that,
- 13:18Speaker 3: and she accuses Erica Kirk of wanting to take control
- 13:21Speaker 3: of Turning Point for various reasons that I suppose relate
- 13:25Speaker 3: to either money or control or power. When Candace Owens,
- 13:29Speaker 3: as you pointed out, as the one who's herself doing
- 13:32Speaker 3: very very well out of this while claiming that her
- 13:35Speaker 3: motives are completely pure as a friend of Charlie Kirk's.
- 13:38Speaker 4: And it's quite something to sort of, you know, directly
- 13:42Speaker 4: or indirectly accuse the widow of a dead man of
- 13:45Speaker 4: trying to have him killed so she could effectively take
- 13:48Speaker 4: control of the business that he built up and the
- 13:51Speaker 4: movement that he built up. Right, and the French government
- 13:55Speaker 4: connection is that not because of her stuff where she's
- 14:00Speaker 4: been alleging to cand Zanes that Bridget mccron is actually
- 14:03Speaker 4: a man, and then she's claimed recently that the French
- 14:07Speaker 4: government's got a hit out on her and that that
- 14:10Speaker 4: is somehow linked to all of this, which seems exceedingly
- 14:13Speaker 4: far fetched. That the French would want to kill Charlie
- 14:16Speaker 4: Kirk because he happened to be friends with candorz OANs,
- 14:18Speaker 4: who's been saying that Bridget mccron is a man.
- 14:22Speaker 1: It's just bizarre and surely at.
- 14:24Speaker 4: Some point you've got to say. And She's what I
- 14:26Speaker 4: found uneatifying about it, beyond that stuff, is that she
- 14:30Speaker 4: keeps coming out with text messages and emails and whatever
- 14:34Speaker 4: that they had shared together.
- 14:37Speaker 1: And that's private communication.
- 14:39Speaker 4: And I would hate to think that, God forbid, after
- 14:43Speaker 4: I die, that the text messages I've sent to some
- 14:46Speaker 4: people start getting paraded around because I thought they were
- 14:50Speaker 4: private communications that I was having with someone. And then
- 14:53Speaker 4: all of a sudden that gets plastered in front of
- 14:56Speaker 4: the world. This is what we talked about on this day,
- 14:58Speaker 4: and this is what we joked about here and this
- 15:01Speaker 4: and that and whatever. You just don't do that with
- 15:04Speaker 4: someone who is apparently your friend after they die.
- 15:07Speaker 1: At some point.
- 15:08Speaker 4: You've just got to let a dead person be a
- 15:10Speaker 4: dead person.
- 15:11Speaker 7: And what is so disturbing is the way she has
- 15:14Speaker 7: kind of inserted herself as the kind of bearer of
- 15:19Speaker 7: Charlie Kirk's legacy.
- 15:21Speaker 8: The only person in the world.
- 15:23Speaker 7: Who's fighting for justice, the only one who will actually
- 15:27Speaker 7: discover who killed Charlie Kirk. She's named her audience on
- 15:32Speaker 7: YouTube the Candice Intelligence Agency and encourages all of her
- 15:37Speaker 7: mummy sloops to go out and find clues about who
- 15:40Speaker 7: killed Charlie Kirk. And so she really has monetized his
- 15:45Speaker 7: murder in a very effective way. But I just don't
- 15:49Speaker 7: understand how, with a shred of integrity she can turn
- 15:52Speaker 7: around and say it's because I'm his friend. That is
- 15:55Speaker 7: not how friends treat each other. And if you truly
- 15:58Speaker 7: were his friend, why you know, respecting his wife?
- 16:01Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, Well, while we're talking about conspiracy theories and lies,
- 16:05Speaker 3: if anyone knows anything about that, it's the Jewish community,
- 16:08Speaker 3: because the number of conspiracy theories and lies that are
- 16:11Speaker 3: told about the Jews and Israel continue to astound me.
- 16:15Speaker 3: Remember when the Gaza conflict was in full flight, many
- 16:18Speaker 3: people were accusing Israel deliberately causing a starvation crisis within Gaza.
- 16:24Speaker 3: And there was one episode back in May I think
- 16:27Speaker 3: it was where the United Nations started saying that fourteen
- 16:30Speaker 3: thousand babies would die within forty eight hours if Israel
- 16:34Speaker 3: didn't allow baby formula and baby food into the Gaza strip.
- 16:40Speaker 2: Well, footage has just been.
- 16:42Speaker 3: Made public of warehouses within Gaza controlled by Hamas full
- 16:47Speaker 3: of tons of baby formula and baby food. This footage
- 16:52Speaker 3: was obtained by a Palestinian activist who's based in the
- 16:57Speaker 3: United States, but he is himself a Ahmed.
- 17:03Speaker 2: A Hatbed who got this footage and.
- 17:07Speaker 3: Documented not just one, but numbers of warehouses where food
- 17:11Speaker 3: was being stockpiled by Hamas. He says quote during the
- 17:15Speaker 3: worst of the days of the hunger crisis in Gaza
- 17:18Speaker 3: in the past six months, Hamas deliberately hid literal tons
- 17:23Speaker 3: of infant formula and nutritional shakes for children by storing
- 17:27Speaker 3: them in clandestine warehouses belonging to the Gaza Ministry of Health.
- 17:31Speaker 3: He says their goal was to worsen the hunger crisis
- 17:35Speaker 3: amongst the Palestinians in order to make Israel look bad
- 17:39Speaker 3: and to back off in their military action. Now, this
- 17:43Speaker 3: Palestinian activist, he's certainly not pro Israel.
- 17:46Speaker 2: He's pro to state solution.
- 17:48Speaker 3: He's very critical of Israel's military action in Gaza, but
- 17:52Speaker 3: he also is critical of the world for not holding
- 17:55Speaker 3: Harmusk to account for their actions to cause starvation amongst
- 17:59Speaker 3: the Palestinian people themselves. This is extraordinary footage, an extraordinary
- 18:04Speaker 3: claim by a Palestinian activist. It's been front page of
- 18:07Speaker 3: the New York Times, it's been front page in the UK.
- 18:11Speaker 3: I haven't seen too much of it in the Australian media.
- 18:14Speaker 3: I suspect it's one of those big stories that will
- 18:16Speaker 3: disappear very quickly.
- 18:17Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's interesting to see an intervention from a
- 18:20Speaker 4: Palestinian activist because that's sort of the one thing that's
- 18:23Speaker 4: really been missing from a lot of this discussion is
- 18:26Speaker 4: a Palestinian activist who's willing to say, well, Hamasa a
- 18:30Speaker 4: bunch of crooks, and I believe in the idea of
- 18:33Speaker 4: a state of Palestine, but I don't believe that it
- 18:36Speaker 4: should be run by the Palestinian authority or Hamas. And
- 18:40Speaker 4: here you have one in Ahmid al Katib. And this footage,
- 18:45Speaker 4: if it indeed is what we are looking at, is
- 18:47Speaker 4: extraordinary because of course this is what was suggested all along,
- 18:51Speaker 4: that there was food made and whatever that was able
- 18:55Speaker 4: to get in and then it would just sort of
- 18:56Speaker 4: mysteriously go missing. And that's why to some degree it
- 18:59Speaker 4: was controlled, because if you didn't have any level of
- 19:01Speaker 4: control and you sort of dropped it in, well all
- 19:04Speaker 4: of it may well have gone missing. And it should
- 19:08Speaker 4: be no surprise.
- 19:09Speaker 2: Really.
- 19:09Speaker 4: I mean, this is the same mob Harmas that used
- 19:12Speaker 4: human shields with their tunnels, etc. And having military bases
- 19:17Speaker 4: in hospitals. They knew what they were doing. So an
- 19:20Speaker 4: outfit that is willing to do that is of course
- 19:23Speaker 4: the same kind of outfit that would be willing to
- 19:25Speaker 4: manufacture a hunger crisis in order to get global headlines
- 19:29Speaker 4: exactly right.
- 19:30Speaker 7: And the problem is when you're dealing with Hamas, which
- 19:32Speaker 7: is driven by radical ideology, they see anyone who dies
- 19:37Speaker 7: in Gaza as just a marta for the cause, and
- 19:40Speaker 7: not something to be avoided, but dying for the greater good,
- 19:45Speaker 7: if you will, which is such a perverted way of thinking,
- 19:48Speaker 7: but that is how they think. And when the UN
- 19:51Speaker 7: was delivering aid, ninety percent of UNAID trucks were getting
- 19:55Speaker 7: looted before they got to their final destination. That is
- 19:58Speaker 7: why America, backed by Israel, had to set up the
- 20:02Speaker 7: Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to have so they could have secure
- 20:06Speaker 7: AID sites, not trucks just driving into Gaza where Her
- 20:10Speaker 7: Mask could get their.
- 20:11Speaker 8: Hands on the aid.
- 20:12Speaker 7: Of course, this instance of the hoarding of formula was
- 20:16Speaker 7: actually happening around the time when the Gaza Humanitarian Fund
- 20:20Speaker 7: was being set up, and they were doing this because
- 20:23Speaker 7: they wanted to spark global outrage so the UN could
- 20:27Speaker 7: continue to have a monopoly over the AID and so
- 20:30Speaker 7: Her Mask could continue getting their loot.
- 20:33Speaker 8: It is so perverted.
- 20:34Speaker 7: But the way the Western media absolutely fell for these
- 20:40Speaker 7: lies and was so blinded by their hatred of the
- 20:43Speaker 7: Jewish state that they would willingly spread Her Mask propaganda.
- 20:48Speaker 7: This is something that's going to be studied for years.
- 20:51Speaker 3: If that footage is proved to be legitimate, and there's
- 20:53Speaker 3: been no denial from anybody, it's being reported by major
- 20:56Speaker 3: news agencies as legitimate answers of an apology from the
- 21:01Speaker 3: UK government or the French government or the Canadian government
- 21:05Speaker 3: who slammed Israel over withholding baby formula. And you know
- 21:09Speaker 3: I mentioned that report where fourteen thousand babies were going
- 21:12Speaker 3: to die within forty eight hours. I wonder if there'll
- 21:14Speaker 3: be an apology from those governments for demonizing Israel and
- 21:18Speaker 3: making the lives of Jews in those countries imperiled because
- 21:22Speaker 3: effectively they were calling Israel baby killers.
- 21:25Speaker 4: Unlikely I would have thought, speaking of things that are unlikely.
- 21:29Speaker 4: The Prime Minister addressing the travel expenses scandal, which I
- 21:34Speaker 4: was going to say, what are we into day seven,
- 21:36Speaker 4: day eight of this thing? It it matters, but at
- 21:38Speaker 4: least a week we've been talking about all this stuff
- 21:40Speaker 4: because it kicked off with Anika Wells and the fact
- 21:43Speaker 4: that she had gone off to the UN to talk
- 21:45Speaker 4: about the social media ban ninety four thousand dollars for
- 21:49Speaker 4: her and a few of her staff to go over
- 21:51Speaker 4: for that event. And speaking of the social media ban,
- 21:54Speaker 4: of course that came in this week and this scandal
- 21:57Speaker 4: with travel expenses has grown and grown and grown, grew
- 22:00Speaker 4: out to Anika wells and all the money she had
- 22:03Speaker 4: spent taking her husband to sporting events with these family
- 22:07Speaker 4: repatriation flights. Then you've got Don Fowrell who's spent one
- 22:10Speaker 4: hundred thousand dollars on these repatriation flats taking people family
- 22:14Speaker 4: members to the opera in Sydney and dinners at Ularoo.
- 22:19Speaker 1: There's dozens of them.
- 22:21Speaker 4: Sarah Hanson Young who has been flying her husband, a lobbyist,
- 22:26Speaker 4: between Adelaide and Canberra. Of course he is a lobbyist
- 22:30Speaker 4: who works in Canberra. Is this family repatriation well? The
- 22:34Speaker 4: Prime Minister asked about all of this because it is
- 22:37Speaker 4: a big story, says, there's another story on his mind.
- 22:41Speaker 10: What I'm focused on today today is an issue which
- 22:47Speaker 10: is a revolution. This issue is you will talk about
- 22:53Speaker 10: for a lot longer than you talk about the issues
- 22:58Speaker 10: which you are raising, which I accept legitimate to be raised.
- 23:01Speaker 10: I've answered, I've answered multiple questions on it today. I
- 23:06Speaker 10: am focused. I am focused. What I have said very
- 23:12Speaker 10: clearly is what I am focused on. When you look
- 23:15Speaker 10: back and you look at what are the five biggest
- 23:17Speaker 10: things that we did, I'll tell you what this will
- 23:19Speaker 10: be one of them.
- 23:20Speaker 2: And that's what makes me proud, thanks very much.
- 23:27Speaker 4: We're talking about a revolution or I mean, come on, mate,
- 23:32Speaker 4: you can't just get away.
- 23:34Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
- 23:34Speaker 4: I'm sorry this traveler who gives a toss about this
- 23:37Speaker 4: travel business because you know, the social media man, it's
- 23:40Speaker 4: the most consequential thing we've ever done.
- 23:42Speaker 3: Can I point out something for a second, remember the
- 23:44Speaker 3: voice to Parliament A modest request, yes, but a social
- 23:48Speaker 3: media band for kids.
- 23:49Speaker 4: Revolutionary, right, and it means that we don't have to
- 23:53Speaker 4: talk about dodgy things that politicians said.
- 23:56Speaker 2: Oh look I've done something good. Apparently.
- 23:58Speaker 4: Well, while we're talking about the the social media band,
- 24:02Speaker 4: here is the Prime Minister face to face with a
- 24:05Speaker 4: kid telling him just how this is going to go.
- 24:09Speaker 10: It's a bad idea because we're going to find ultimates anyways. Yeah,
- 24:14Speaker 10: well that'll get found out.
- 24:16Speaker 4: Too, little giddy, it's gonna get found out.
- 24:22Speaker 2: I think.
- 24:24Speaker 1: That was that was like the most awkward interaction.
- 24:28Speaker 4: I mean, Albow does have a few awkward interactions, but
- 24:30Speaker 4: that was like he was like, what what do I do?
- 24:33Speaker 2: What do I do?
- 24:34Speaker 1: I mean, the kids just since.
- 24:37Speaker 2: Imagined what the rest of the country is thinking.
- 24:39Speaker 4: The confidence of that kid just to say to the PM.
- 24:42Speaker 1: Yeah, your law is not going to work, buddy.
- 24:46Speaker 8: No, it's brilliant.
- 24:47Speaker 7: But I mean, I think you've got to think Alman Easy.
- 24:51Speaker 7: He's played it well, not sacking Anaka Wells this week
- 24:56Speaker 7: and holding off because of course, if he relented to
- 24:59Speaker 7: the media p to do something well, then that would
- 25:02Speaker 7: actually become the story and he'd give the media a
- 25:05Speaker 7: free win. But you have to think she's going to
- 25:08Speaker 7: be quietly reshuffled at some point, or maybe she might resign.
- 25:12Speaker 8: Next week, jileie.
- 25:14Speaker 7: But I think at this point Almineasy thinks he has
- 25:17Speaker 7: such a large majority he actually just doesn't care.
- 25:21Speaker 3: Do you think that he is upset that the revolutionary
- 25:25Speaker 3: social media band has been upstaged by the travel fiasco?
- 25:29Speaker 3: Or is he thinking, God, he's got the social media
- 25:33Speaker 3: band at the time that the travel fiasco has been
- 25:36Speaker 3: made public, because otherwise he would have nothing to hide begins.
- 25:39Speaker 1: It's probably an element of both.
- 25:42Speaker 4: I mean, that's why Aniko Weell's referred herself this week
- 25:46Speaker 4: the day before the band came into effect, because then
- 25:49Speaker 4: she could say, you know, it's been referred, this will
- 25:53Speaker 4: now be dealt with. Let's talk about the matter at hand,
- 25:56Speaker 4: which is the social media band. They had to sort
- 25:58Speaker 4: of court.
- 25:58Speaker 2: He eyed ale before the courts. It would be a
- 26:02Speaker 2: comment sisely taken.
- 26:04Speaker 4: But also I think there isn't an element of he's
- 26:08Speaker 4: glad to have the cover. But if the social media
- 26:12Speaker 4: ban hadn't happened this week, I don't think it would
- 26:14Speaker 4: have changed the way he dealt with this.
- 26:16Speaker 2: He would have.
- 26:17Speaker 4: Found something else to talk about. He probably wouldn't have
- 26:19Speaker 4: gotten rid of Anika.
- 26:21Speaker 1: Wells because he doesn't have to.
- 26:22Speaker 4: I mean, I know it's conventional wisdom that you if
- 26:25Speaker 4: you have a cancer, you cauterize it. But he doesn't
- 26:28Speaker 4: have to because he has so many people.
- 26:30Speaker 2: So what the hell? This scandal is going to continue.
- 26:33Speaker 3: When we get to the papers later we probably won't
- 26:36Speaker 3: talk about it. But on the Australian's front page tomorrow
- 26:39Speaker 3: they're reporting the next stage of this whole saga, and
- 26:42Speaker 3: that is they're found thirty seven percent of about a
- 26:45Speaker 3: million dollars spent by Labor MPs on family reunion expenses
- 26:49Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two was not spent on children or
- 26:53Speaker 3: partners with children.
- 26:54Speaker 2: So it will continue for days.
- 26:57Speaker 8: Yet it's clear that this system is being roughted.
- 27:00Speaker 7: The fact that Albanezi has ruled out changing it or
- 27:03Speaker 7: an inquiry into changing it is just ridiculous. But I
- 27:06Speaker 7: fear so many people are on the gravy train that
- 27:09Speaker 7: no one really wants it to stop. But let's go
- 27:12Speaker 7: over to the UK now, where there have been some
- 27:16Speaker 7: shocking developments in UK politics. We know reform is already
- 27:19Speaker 7: leading in the polls, but they just might have another surge.
- 27:24Speaker 7: You'll remember we discussed the other night Buddy Blue, who
- 27:28Speaker 7: got arrested in Bali for producing pornography and breaking their
- 27:32Speaker 7: morality laws.
- 27:33Speaker 8: Well, in a very strange turn of events.
- 27:37Speaker 7: She's now written an opinion piece for The Spectator in
- 27:41Speaker 7: the UK where she's actually come out and endorsed Nigel Parage.
- 27:48Speaker 7: She said, I stand with Nigel Parage. There are too
- 27:54Speaker 7: many people here. We are too accommodating and it's causing problems.
- 28:00Speaker 8: Now.
- 28:00Speaker 7: She sided with Nigel Farage, particularly over the immigration issues,
- 28:05Speaker 7: but also endorsed other right wing policies cutting welfare spending,
- 28:09Speaker 7: things like that. I don't endorse Bonny Blue, but I
- 28:15Speaker 7: do endorse this message.
- 28:17Speaker 1: You can't Barragh the Farage.
- 28:19Speaker 4: I mean he's got everyone now, from the pornographers right
- 28:22Speaker 4: through to the working class.
- 28:24Speaker 1: I think this is magnificent.
- 28:27Speaker 4: And you know, again, whatever you think of Bonnie Blue,
- 28:30Speaker 4: you can't deny that she has a huge profile. She's
- 28:34Speaker 4: a big media personality now and people have their eyes
- 28:39Speaker 4: on what she is doing, and a lot of people
- 28:42Speaker 4: are paying a team. That's right, and she garners a
- 28:47Speaker 4: lot of attention, even if it's just peripherally. I mean,
- 28:50Speaker 4: you know, obviously she has a clientele who sign up
- 28:52Speaker 4: to her subscription service where you get to see her
- 28:55Speaker 4: do all manner of things, but also a lot of
- 28:58Speaker 4: people are just following what she does peripheral, and so
- 29:01Speaker 4: to have someone like her, whatever you think of her
- 29:03Speaker 4: morally saying she backs Nigel Farage, it gets headlines, it
- 29:08Speaker 4: gets we're talking about it.
- 29:10Speaker 1: I think this is a boon for now.
- 29:12Speaker 3: I have less of an issue with Farage accepting her endorsement,
- 29:15Speaker 3: and a spokesperson for Reform said, we're fighting for every vote.
- 29:19Speaker 3: In relation to what do you think about Bonnie Blue
- 29:22Speaker 3: saying people should vote Reform? My big issue is why
- 29:25Speaker 3: is the Spectator magazine employing Bonnie Blue to write columns
- 29:30Speaker 3: for them? It's a Christmas column about how she typically
- 29:33Speaker 3: spends Christmas.
- 29:34Speaker 2: I had to laugh. She wrote last Christmas was a
- 29:37Speaker 2: bit of a shock.
- 29:38Speaker 3: I was due to be in Australia but was banned
- 29:40Speaker 3: for my sexual stunts. My family was glad because it
- 29:44Speaker 3: meant they got me for Christmas.
- 29:46Speaker 2: That was the family.
- 29:49Speaker 3: She got banned from Australia because she's doing pornography.
- 29:52Speaker 2: Good, we get it for Christmas. That was their thought,
- 29:54Speaker 2: give me a break.
- 29:55Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you know the family would have been a
- 29:57Speaker 4: bit rooted otherwise, wouldn't they. But I mean, you know,
- 30:00Speaker 4: I just think the momentum that is getting behind Forage,
- 30:04Speaker 4: and when you've got a cultural phenomenon as she is,
- 30:07Speaker 4: like Bonnie Blue, Indoorsmal, what.
- 30:09Speaker 2: Does that say for the content?
- 30:10Speaker 1: Yeah, well but it does. I'm sorry, but it really
- 30:13Speaker 1: doesn't matter this point. It doesn't matter at this point.
- 30:16Speaker 4: If you've got names like that getting behind Forage, it
- 30:19Speaker 4: just shows how unstoppable he is, and it.
- 30:21Speaker 7: Does show how far well. I think it shows two things. One,
- 30:25Speaker 7: Bonnie Blue knows her audience. She knows her audience is
- 30:28Speaker 7: probably ninety nine percent men, and she knows that most
- 30:31Speaker 7: men in the UK support reform and support Farage, so
- 30:36Speaker 7: she's very smart from that perspective. But it also does
- 30:39Speaker 7: show to your point, Caleb, the cultural vibe shift that
- 30:43Speaker 7: has happened. To have someone who you know, I don't
- 30:46Speaker 7: support what she does, but who does command a substantial presence,
- 30:51Speaker 7: coming out openly, not even during election time, and saying
- 30:55Speaker 7: she supports reform.
- 30:56Speaker 3: It raised that interesting question, right, because the left have
- 30:59Speaker 3: sort of left her alone, right because they don't want
- 31:01Speaker 3: to touch tut her morality.
- 31:02Speaker 8: All they like sex workers, right.
- 31:04Speaker 3: So will the left now start to attack her because
- 31:07Speaker 3: she's a reform supporter.
- 31:09Speaker 4: Well maybe, And of course the last time a porn
- 31:10Speaker 4: star got involved in politics it was Stormy Daniels and
- 31:13Speaker 4: that was a whole saga, wasn't it. But in the
- 31:16Speaker 4: UK Conservatives have generally produced far better sex scandals than
- 31:21Speaker 4: the Labor Party has, so you know, maybe it's all
- 31:24Speaker 4: just part of how the Conservative movement works over there.
- 31:28Speaker 4: They have more fun, they get a bit crazier, and
- 31:30Speaker 4: well now you've got Bonnie Blue and tossing Nigel Farage.
- 31:33Speaker 3: All right, well, let's stay in the UK, but be
- 31:36Speaker 3: a little more serious about the politics there. Justice Secretary
- 31:39Speaker 3: David not as fun, but more serious. David Lammy, the
- 31:42Speaker 3: Justice Secretary, we're talking last week about his plan to
- 31:46Speaker 3: get rid of most jury trials in order to remove
- 31:49Speaker 3: the backlog of people waiting for their cases.
- 31:52Speaker 2: To be heard.
- 31:53Speaker 3: Well, now he's come up with another suggestion, equally as
- 31:56Speaker 3: daft in my view, he wants to start wiping the
- 31:59Speaker 3: criminal records of thousands of people, particularly as it pertains
- 32:03Speaker 3: to childhood convictions. For all but serious crimes committed as
- 32:08Speaker 3: young people. He would have those records expunged because he's
- 32:13Speaker 3: concerned that people are unable to find jobs or are
- 32:16Speaker 3: being unfairly penalized when looking for work because they've got
- 32:20Speaker 3: a criminal history dating back to their childhood. Now the
- 32:25Speaker 3: Opposition up in arms about this because they're saying, well,
- 32:29Speaker 3: you're going to expunge criminal records for childhood crimes except
- 32:33Speaker 3: for serious ones. Will define serious and as yet he's.
- 32:36Speaker 2: Not done that.
- 32:38Speaker 3: But curiously, this is what got my attention, right David
- 32:41Speaker 3: Lammy in promoting this idea, we want to get rid
- 32:44Speaker 3: of childhood criminal records. He then said this twenty two
- 32:48Speaker 3: thousand Black Asian and ethnic minority children had their names
- 32:52Speaker 3: added to the police national database, which I thought was
- 32:56Speaker 3: a very strange thing to say in the context of
- 33:00Speaker 3: wanting to wipe people's childhood criminal records. Now I'm not
- 33:04Speaker 3: going to guess what was in his mind, but a
- 33:06Speaker 3: lot of people are very suspicious about this move. I
- 33:10Speaker 3: think if people have got a criminal record as a child,
- 33:13Speaker 3: judges typically take into account when they're sentencing that to
- 33:18Speaker 3: give a conviction which will go on their record will
- 33:21Speaker 3: be part of the punishment, So judges typically don't do
- 33:24Speaker 3: that lightly. To go and scrub them all would, I think,
- 33:29Speaker 3: undermine the justice system.
- 33:31Speaker 2: Justice has been done and then they're going to undo
- 33:33Speaker 2: it by expunging the record.
- 33:34Speaker 4: Correct, You're going back to some zero. So what was
- 33:38Speaker 4: the point of a conviction in the first place. I mean,
- 33:41Speaker 4: if you're going to expunge convictions from people's records, then
- 33:44Speaker 4: you may as well not convict anyone of anything and say, well,
- 33:48Speaker 4: what's the use of a criminal record anyway? I mean,
- 33:51Speaker 4: it is kind of relevant information if you're going for.
- 33:55Speaker 2: A job or applying for a birth children's check.
- 33:58Speaker 3: If you've committed arson, or if you've committed assault in
- 34:03Speaker 3: the course of resisting arrest, you are legally bound to
- 34:06Speaker 3: tell a prospective employer, no matter how old you were
- 34:09Speaker 3: when it happened.
- 34:10Speaker 2: So there are certain.
- 34:11Speaker 3: Crimes you've got to report but I would have thought,
- 34:13Speaker 3: you know, those things are part of your life.
- 34:16Speaker 4: Like countries at the US, which take criminal convictions very
- 34:19Speaker 4: seriously for people they lead into the country.
- 34:21Speaker 1: I mean, does it matter when they're doing an.
- 34:23Speaker 4: Assessment whether you were fifteen or twenty one when you
- 34:26Speaker 4: committed a crime.
- 34:27Speaker 7: Look some of the examples that they cited that are
- 34:29Speaker 7: still convictions on people's records, with things like riding a
- 34:34Speaker 7: bicycle without permission. There are some trivial things that now
- 34:38Speaker 7: we would look back and go, Okay, maybe in the
- 34:40Speaker 7: nineteen fifties that was enough to get a child in
- 34:43Speaker 7: serious trouble, but now it's probably not. But I don't
- 34:46Speaker 7: think the answer is this sort of left wing, woke
- 34:49Speaker 7: mentality of let's just scrap all convictions. Let's assume all
- 34:53Speaker 7: people of ethnic minority background are victims. That's why they
- 34:56Speaker 7: have these records, not because they actually made choices to
- 34:59Speaker 7: commit time. The answer is just for employers to use
- 35:04Speaker 7: a little bit of common sense and critical thinking and go,
- 35:07Speaker 7: let's have a look at what's on your criminal record. Oh, okay,
- 35:11Speaker 7: you stole ten dollars worth of candy when you were thirteen.
- 35:15Speaker 7: You're forty five. Now, a dad have turned your life around.
- 35:19Speaker 7: Probably not going to affect our hiring decision.
- 35:21Speaker 3: I've got to point out the great irony here from
- 35:23Speaker 3: the British Labor Party is aren't they hounding Nigel Farage
- 35:27Speaker 3: over things he's alleged to have said as a thirteen
- 35:30Speaker 3: year old? I know, and they're trying to make that
- 35:32Speaker 3: relevant as to his suitability to be Prime Minister at
- 35:35Speaker 3: the same time that they're trying to expunge people's childhood
- 35:38Speaker 3: criminal records because it might affect their job prospects.
- 35:41Speaker 4: Stay tuned next week to find out what Bonnie Blue
- 35:43Speaker 4: has to say about that very quickly before we go.
- 35:45Speaker 4: Also in the UK, they're part of the European Convention
- 35:49Speaker 4: on Human Rights and you might remember the European Court
- 35:52Speaker 4: of Human Rights a couple of years ago said that
- 35:54Speaker 4: they couldn't deport illegal margarets to Rwanda. Well, now you've
- 35:58Speaker 4: got more than half of European in countries that they're
- 36:01Speaker 4: saying they need to reform this Convention on Human Rights
- 36:04Speaker 4: so it's easier to deport illegal margrants and foreign criminals.
- 36:11Speaker 1: Just pull out.
- 36:12Speaker 4: I mean, for urj has already said this, Just pull
- 36:13Speaker 4: out of the Convention. Why bother reforming something that is
- 36:17Speaker 4: clearly broken.
- 36:18Speaker 3: Yeah, indeed, Well we're going to go to a break.
- 36:21Speaker 3: When we come back, we'll look at what's making headlines tomorrow,
- 36:24Speaker 3: including an incredible story about two men traveling with half
- 36:27Speaker 3: a ton of illegal cigarettes, but they escaped prosecution because
- 36:31Speaker 3: a court ruled the police who pulled them over were
- 36:33Speaker 3: motivated by racism.
- 36:36Speaker 2: That's coming up in a moment.
- 36:44Speaker 3: Okay, let's look at tomorrow's headlines so you hear them
- 36:47Speaker 3: all here. First, we'll start with the Daily Telegraph, which
- 36:50Speaker 3: has got a couple of great stories on the front page.
- 36:53Speaker 3: The image there is quite incredible. New face of crime
- 36:57Speaker 3: reads the headline, chilling silicon face marks designed to beat
- 37:02Speaker 3: facial recognition technology have been uncovered by police and a
- 37:05Speaker 3: storage facility akin to a gangster's supermarket, which also included
- 37:09Speaker 3: flash grenades, guns, ammunition and uniforms. That's quite the fine
- 37:16Speaker 3: and not a bad face mask either.
- 37:18Speaker 2: Color.
- 37:18Speaker 1: It looks a bit like JD. Vans.
- 37:20Speaker 4: I think that that might be who it's modeled on.
- 37:22Speaker 4: I mean, if you've seen JD. Vance come in and
- 37:25Speaker 4: rob your shop recently, maybe you should go knocking on
- 37:28Speaker 4: these people's doors. But I mean quite scary to think.
- 37:32Speaker 1: I mean looks pretty real.
- 37:34Speaker 4: Like if people are getting around wearing these things and
- 37:37Speaker 4: they're like somewhat undetectable, I want to see someone wear it,
- 37:40Speaker 4: like I want to get my hands on one and
- 37:43Speaker 4: try it on and see what it's like, because that
- 37:45Speaker 4: is like scary.
- 37:46Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 37:46Speaker 7: Well, I mean it's almost what they use when they
- 37:48Speaker 7: do prosthetics on film sets.
- 37:51Speaker 2: Right.
- 37:51Speaker 7: You can glue this silicon stuff onto your face and
- 37:54Speaker 7: someone can go and become very in disguised. And for
- 38:00Speaker 7: all our facial recognition cameras that are monitoring everyone everywhere,
- 38:03Speaker 7: it's a good way to get around them.
- 38:05Speaker 4: We've all seen misdoubtfire right. I mean that's what the
- 38:07Speaker 4: whole thing was based on, and that was in the nine.
- 38:10Speaker 3: I'd love to know who's accessing this gangster supermarket when
- 38:13Speaker 3: they've got masks like that and stun grenades and Ammo, etc.
- 38:19Speaker 2: So there you go, good find by the police. Well done.
- 38:21Speaker 4: I'll see you down there, ladder Joan.
- 38:22Speaker 3: The other interesting story on the front page SIGGI bust
- 38:26Speaker 3: was racist.
- 38:27Speaker 2: Reads the headline.
- 38:28Speaker 3: Let me read the story and then I'll try and
- 38:30Speaker 3: explain what happened here. Two Asian men in a vehicle
- 38:33Speaker 3: with more than a ton of illegal cigarettes have escaped
- 38:36Speaker 3: prosecution after a court found police who pulled over their
- 38:40Speaker 3: associates traveling in convoy were motivated by racism. Now there's
- 38:45Speaker 3: two gentlemen there. I won't trump pronounce their names. They
- 38:47Speaker 3: were charged with possessing more than five hundred kilograms of tobacco,
- 38:51Speaker 3: but a judge ordered there'd be no further action. So
- 38:55Speaker 3: there was a Mercedes is it a G wagon, yeah,
- 38:59Speaker 3: traveling along and there was an Asian guy sitting in
- 39:02Speaker 3: the back seat.
- 39:04Speaker 2: And the female.
- 39:04Speaker 3: Police officer told the court that that got her attention
- 39:09Speaker 3: because quote unquote, the Asian guy sitting in the back
- 39:12Speaker 3: of this very expensive vehicle looked like a high roller. Well,
- 39:15Speaker 3: the judge took exception to that and said that was
- 39:18Speaker 3: a reprehensible description.
- 39:19Speaker 2: In fact, the judge said.
- 39:21Speaker 3: If Gina Reinhard had this what she said, if Gina
- 39:23Speaker 3: Reinhard had been sitting in the back of that vehicle,
- 39:26Speaker 3: would you have pulled the person over and called them
- 39:28Speaker 3: a high roller? And so they pulled this g wagon over.
- 39:33Speaker 3: Nothing to see there except they found some higher vehicle
- 39:39Speaker 3: dockets in the car and then radioed on and found
- 39:44Speaker 3: this truck that was associated with the dockets traveling in convoy.
- 39:47Speaker 3: That's where the cigarettes were found. But the judge ruled
- 39:50Speaker 3: because they pulled the G wagon over based on racial profiling,
- 39:55Speaker 3: therefore no further actions could be taken.
- 39:59Speaker 4: Is the only racial element that Asians are known for gambling,
- 40:04Speaker 4: and that's therefore why you might have thought it a
- 40:07Speaker 4: person was a.
- 40:08Speaker 1: High roller because the G Wagon. I've had his G wagon.
- 40:11Speaker 4: He's a well known drug dealer's vehicle and it's a
- 40:14Speaker 4: well known criminals vehicle. I mean, you know, the punisher,
- 40:18Speaker 4: Sam Abdul Rahim is now dead. They put a hit
- 40:21Speaker 4: out on him and killed him down in Melbourne, but
- 40:23Speaker 4: well known gangster in Melbourne a few years ago, when
- 40:26Speaker 4: he was leaving a gang funeral in his G wagon
- 40:30Speaker 4: he got shot three or four times in the chest
- 40:32Speaker 4: and drove himself in the G wagon from the side
- 40:35Speaker 4: of the shooting to the cop shop where they send
- 40:37Speaker 4: him off to the hospital. I mean, it's not like
- 40:39Speaker 4: we don't have cases on the public record of criminals
- 40:41Speaker 4: getting around in these cars. And then the coppers go, well,
- 40:44Speaker 4: he looks a bit dodgy. He's in a G wagon.
- 40:47Speaker 1: We might pull him over. What's you got to do
- 40:48Speaker 1: with being Asian.
- 40:49Speaker 2: Your instincts were good, exactly right.
- 40:51Speaker 7: How does a policeman's bias negate the fact that they
- 40:56Speaker 7: have committed a crime. I don't care under what circumstances
- 41:00Speaker 7: they were pulled over racist or not. I mean, in
- 41:03Speaker 7: this instance clearly wasn't racist. But even if it was racist,
- 41:07Speaker 7: who cares? They've still committed a crime. That doesn't negate
- 41:10Speaker 7: what the criminals have done. But let's move over to
- 41:14Speaker 7: the Australian tomorrow and stick with that theme of illicit tobacco.
- 41:19Speaker 7: The headline reads Illicit sales leave an eleven point eight
- 41:24Speaker 7: billion dollar hole. Australia is now losing more tax revenue
- 41:29Speaker 7: on illegal tobacco than it is collecting, with new government
- 41:32Speaker 7: estimates showing Commonwealth coffers missed out on as much as
- 41:36Speaker 7: eleven point eight billion dollars through illicit sales in twenty
- 41:40Speaker 7: twenty four to twenty twenty five, well in excess of
- 41:44Speaker 7: the seven point seven billion received from legal tobacco purchases.
- 41:49Speaker 7: The shock figures come as Jim Chalmers is being forced
- 41:52Speaker 7: to make quote difficult decisions in next week week's budget update.
- 41:57Speaker 7: With a decade of deficits ahead leave any further losses
- 42:01Speaker 7: in revenue magnified on the nation's bottom line. That is horrendous.
- 42:07Speaker 7: We are losing more money than we are gaining from
- 42:12Speaker 7: the tobacco excise. Surely at that point you can can
- 42:16Speaker 7: see the excise is not working properly if you're now
- 42:19Speaker 7: gaining less from it than you're losing because it's so high.
- 42:23Speaker 4: But Murray Watt said last hook, there's no connection between
- 42:26Speaker 4: the excise and people buying illicit cigarettes. I mean, you know,
- 42:30Speaker 4: no wonder this market flourishes.
- 42:32Speaker 1: Just get Asian.
- 42:32Speaker 4: People to drive your bloody cigarettes around for you.
- 42:36Speaker 1: I just I cannot.
- 42:37Speaker 4: Get over the fact it's gotten this bad and the government.
- 42:40Speaker 1: Still digs their heads into the sand.
- 42:43Speaker 4: It also said the same report that more than ninety
- 42:46Speaker 4: five percent of the vape market is illegal. Remember vapes
- 42:50Speaker 4: were banned last year. That's just working so well, isn't it.
- 42:55Speaker 4: Well done, Elbow.
- 42:57Speaker 1: You've done such a good job, Mark Butler, well done.
- 43:00Speaker 4: On the front of the advertiser. Tomorrow star's son a rapist,
- 43:04Speaker 4: Tom Sylvanney twenty three, a former AFL player manager and
- 43:08Speaker 4: the younger son of Carlton champion Steven Sylvanny, can finally
- 43:12Speaker 4: be revealed as a rapist because his brother also plays
- 43:17Speaker 4: for Saint Kilda currently and an awful case where he
- 43:24Speaker 4: not alleged he has raped a friend and pretended to
- 43:28Speaker 4: be the boyfriend and went into the room and anyway,
- 43:31Speaker 4: you can look up the rest of the details if
- 43:32Speaker 4: you want to read it. But this case had previously
- 43:35Speaker 4: been suppressed, or the identity of Tom Sylvanny had previously
- 43:40Speaker 4: been suppressed, which was extraordinary, very rarely does a name
- 43:44Speaker 4: in a case like this get suppressed. And the only
- 43:46Speaker 4: reason anyone could think I knew about it, but because
- 43:49Speaker 4: we couldn't talk about it, And the only reason anyone
- 43:52Speaker 4: could think of is that it would be damaging to
- 43:55Speaker 4: the Sylvanney name. Just amazing that it's taken this long
- 44:00Speaker 4: for us to find this out.
- 44:01Speaker 3: The reason revealed in the article as to why the
- 44:03Speaker 3: band was placed it wasn't to avoid damage to the
- 44:06Speaker 3: Savanni name. They were worried that if his name was
- 44:09Speaker 3: made public the publicity would be so great he wouldn't
- 44:12Speaker 3: be able to continue with the trial because he would
- 44:14Speaker 3: either suicide or have a breakdown.
- 44:16Speaker 4: So what about George pell I mean, I know the
- 44:19Speaker 4: one hundred cases you could think of where that might
- 44:22Speaker 4: apply and they don't do grape point extraordinary. Let's also
- 44:26Speaker 4: quickly before we go, take a look at the front
- 44:28Speaker 4: of the cans post. Now, this is an extraordinary case
- 44:34Speaker 4: where if we got the footage, he to take a
- 44:37Speaker 4: look at it says mid air tail snag terror. Now
- 44:42Speaker 4: this is a chap jumping out of a plane, as
- 44:45Speaker 4: you can see there skydiving and his emergency parachute got
- 44:49Speaker 4: caught and came out before he jumped, and then when
- 44:52Speaker 4: he jumped out, he basically flies into the wing. Now
- 44:56Speaker 4: he managed within fifty seconds to cut himself loose and
- 45:00Speaker 4: get down to the ground, and when he got down
- 45:02Speaker 4: deployed his full parachute, his normal parachute.
- 45:06Speaker 1: The plane had a lot of struggle.
- 45:09Speaker 4: From what I understand, James, he got out of it
- 45:12Speaker 4: with minor injuries. The pilot did a great job of
- 45:16Speaker 4: getting the thing back down to earth.
- 45:18Speaker 3: Extraordinary footage, incredible footage and amazing flying by the pilot
- 45:23Speaker 3: and the parachuters who spent it would have been all
- 45:26Speaker 3: of a minute dangling from the tail of the plane
- 45:29Speaker 3: while trying to cut himself free. Both of them did
- 45:32Speaker 3: a great job to save not only the plane in
- 45:34Speaker 3: their own lives, but those who were on board just
- 45:36Speaker 3: quickly yep, welcome back to the program. Well, if you've
- 45:39Speaker 3: ever tried to sell a house, you'll have a real
- 45:41Speaker 3: estate story. And someone's got an extraordinary story in Broken Hill.
- 45:44Speaker 4: Caleb, Oh, look at it, and it may well be working.
- 45:46Speaker 4: Clifford Wren, who works at a ray White rural in
- 45:49Speaker 4: Broken Hill, has a property that well it's a little
- 45:54Speaker 4: bit dilapidated at ninety four Wolfram Street, and so he
- 45:57Speaker 4: decided to be perfectly you've got it there. He decided
- 46:00Speaker 4: he'd be perfectly honest in his listing. He said you'll
- 46:03Speaker 4: need more than your toolbox, probably a match stick, and
- 46:07Speaker 4: also reference to not too lovely external bathroom. Said okay,
- 46:11Speaker 4: I will write something positive, great Central local. It goes
- 46:15Speaker 4: to auction on December nineteen with a price guard of
- 46:17Speaker 4: sixty five thousand dollars. If you'd like to get your
- 46:20Speaker 4: house your hands on it. Sorry, but he's being honest.
- 46:23Speaker 4: The place probably should go up in flames. That is
- 46:26Speaker 4: the best thing for Apparently some locals are upset and saying, oh,
- 46:29Speaker 4: how dare he advertise.
- 46:30Speaker 2: It like that?
- 46:31Speaker 4: But you know what, we have truth in advertising laws,
- 46:34Speaker 4: and he's simply trying to adhere to them. And you
- 46:36Speaker 4: know what, Jeremy Clarkson did it anyway, when he bought
- 46:39Speaker 4: a property he didn't want to keep. Short ceremony, say
- 46:42Speaker 4: a few words. That is genuinely the house he bought
- 47:03Speaker 4: in the Cotswolds, and they blew it up for top
- 47:05Speaker 4: gey because he wanted to build something else on top
- 47:07Speaker 4: of it.
- 47:08Speaker 1: But you know he's being honest, burned it down.
- 47:10Speaker 2: Incredible. All right, Let's go to China.
- 47:12Speaker 3: Typically, when you go to a safari park, you take
- 47:15Speaker 3: the kids and you're expecting a good show featuring cute animals. Well,
- 47:19Speaker 3: have a look at what happened at this safari park.
- 47:21Speaker 3: When in the middle of a bear show, keep your
- 47:24Speaker 3: eye on the bear in the background. The bear starts
- 47:27Speaker 3: to attack the handler and for a full sixty seconds
- 47:31Speaker 3: to two minutes, the bear and the handler are wrestling.
- 47:35Speaker 3: His colleagues are using even a basketball backboard. Then some
- 47:38Speaker 3: other guy comes up with an eagle on his arm
- 47:40Speaker 3: trying to get the bear off of his comrade. Fortunately
- 47:45Speaker 3: the guy was not injured. But not what you're expecting
- 47:48Speaker 3: when you go to a safari park.
- 47:50Speaker 7: No, that's quite quite graphic and probably pretty disturbing for
- 47:53Speaker 7: the kiddos.
- 47:54Speaker 2: There not what you're expecting when you're the bear handler.
- 47:56Speaker 4: Right, but maybe just leave the beers alone.
- 48:00Speaker 1: It's not an animal.
- 48:00Speaker 4: I want to get entangled with.
- 48:02Speaker 7: You exactly right. Well, you've probably heard the meme six seven.
- 48:06Speaker 7: All the kids are into it and it's really cringe,
- 48:09Speaker 7: but a US fast food joint, In and Out has
- 48:12Speaker 7: been forced to remove sixty seven from its ordering system
- 48:17Speaker 7: entirely because every time they would call out six seven
- 48:21Speaker 7: sixty seven, all the kids would go nuts.
- 48:25Speaker 8: Have a look all this.
- 48:43Speaker 7: And this was happening around the country and thousands of
- 48:46Speaker 7: people going to in and Out just to be that
- 48:48Speaker 7: lucky six.
- 48:48Speaker 3: That's the worst teenagers are doing. I reckon they're doing. Okay,
- 48:52Speaker 3: did you.
- 48:52Speaker 1: See Key Starma do it the other day?
- 48:54Speaker 2: Six seven?
- 48:55Speaker 1: I mean, for goodness, say, well.
- 48:57Speaker 2: That's it from us. Stick around? Coming up? Is the
- 48:59Speaker 2: reader pen the show? Good night?
- 49:02Speaker 5: Yeah m
