- 0:08Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Riata Paney Show. Coming
- 0:11Speaker 2: up tonight. How hard left activists plan to disrupt the
- 0:14Speaker 2: election campaign Adam Crichton it's here, fresh from his harrowing
- 0:18Speaker 2: experience on the ABC's Q and a program to discuss
- 0:22Speaker 2: that and much more. A massive backflip from the Prime
- 0:25Speaker 2: Minister as he abandons modeling, underpinning Labour's promise to cut
- 0:29Speaker 2: power bills and slash your missions by twenty thirty people
- 0:33Speaker 2: say in Pimer will tell us more about that and
- 0:36Speaker 2: he must protest evolve into violence. Josh Hammer will have
- 0:40Speaker 2: the latest from the US, and later in the hour
- 0:43Speaker 2: we'll look at why Prince Harry has been accused of
- 0:45Speaker 2: wooing and misogyny and Lefty is losing It features this
- 0:50Speaker 2: gem from the view that somehow made it past the
- 0:53Speaker 2: fact checkers.
- 0:54Speaker 3: I'd never remember in my lifetime a sitting president and
- 0:57Speaker 3: trashing a previous president.
- 0:58Speaker 2: I've never heard that before. But first, good news for
- 1:01Speaker 2: the Albanesi government. With the polls swinging back to Labor
- 1:05Speaker 2: for the first time this year. Peter Dutton has some
- 1:08Speaker 2: work to do. The preferred Prime Minister margin has significantly
- 1:11Speaker 2: widened since last month, when forty five percent I should
- 1:16Speaker 2: say I thought Anthony ALBUINESI would make a better Prime minister,
- 1:19Speaker 2: while forty percent favored Peter Dutton. In the poll release today,
- 1:24Speaker 2: the PM is now backed by forty nine percent compared
- 1:27Speaker 2: to thirty eight percent preferring Peter Dutton. In the two
- 1:32Speaker 2: party preferred metric, Labor is now ahead of the Coalition
- 1:36Speaker 2: fifty one to forty nine percent, replicating the twenty twenty
- 1:40Speaker 2: two election result. And as far as the primary vote goes,
- 1:43Speaker 2: Labor is at thirty three, Greens at twelve, and the
- 1:47Speaker 2: Coalition at thirty eight. That's only one point three percent
- 1:51Speaker 2: above the last election. Joining me now as senior Fellow
- 1:54Speaker 2: and Chief Economist at the Institute of Public Affairs, Adam Crichton, Adam,
- 1:58Speaker 2: it looks like Peter Dutton's softly approach is not paying dividends.
- 2:04Speaker 4: Yeah, certainly that's true.
- 2:05Speaker 5: The Coalition would be pretty disappointed with these figures. And
- 2:08Speaker 5: of course it wasn't just the news poll results that
- 2:10Speaker 5: you were talking about. Then the Freshwater Pole and the
- 2:12Speaker 5: Financial Review basically showed exactly the same thing, the same
- 2:16Speaker 5: trend so that's two major polls on the same day.
- 2:19Speaker 4: Not a great start. And also the betting markets are
- 2:21Speaker 4: now showing.
- 2:23Speaker 5: Labor as the favorite to win, whereas about four or
- 2:26Speaker 5: five weeks ago the Coalition was the favorite. I always
- 2:29Speaker 5: like to look at the betting markets instead, because these
- 2:31Speaker 5: are people who are actually putting their money on the line.
- 2:33Speaker 5: They've thought about it. You know, Poles can go either way,
- 2:36Speaker 5: and of course they have a.
- 2:36Speaker 4: Plus you know, plus minus three or four percent error.
- 2:38Speaker 5: But yes, to your point, you know, since well, at
- 2:42Speaker 5: least in my view, since the Coalition backed the eight
- 2:44Speaker 5: point five billion dollars on many care, which Labor proposed,
- 2:47Speaker 5: so same same, the polling of the Coalition has fallen.
- 2:51Speaker 4: So I think they need to distinguish themselves more. There's
- 2:54Speaker 4: not enough.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Idea too late to do that now, because you're right,
- 2:57Speaker 2: there's not a huge deal of ideological difference. We've got
- 3:02Speaker 2: used to that. The party is not being that far apart.
- 3:06Speaker 2: Certainly on economic policy you can pick some differences, but
- 3:11Speaker 2: energy seems to be what's really a missed opportunity for
- 3:15Speaker 2: the coalition. They could have fought this on energy policy alone.
- 3:18Speaker 5: If they certainly could have looked the British Tories have.
- 3:21Speaker 4: They've recently dumped it zero. I think that's very sensible.
- 3:23Speaker 5: The opposition leader over there has come out and said
- 3:25Speaker 5: it is just economically and even scientifically impossible to do.
- 3:28Speaker 4: This is what Dutton should have done here.
- 3:30Speaker 5: And then the election would have been a real intellectual
- 3:32Speaker 5: contest something to talk about.
- 3:34Speaker 4: I mean, right now, it's going to be excruciating, isn't it.
- 3:36Speaker 4: I mean, basically we're talking about.
- 3:37Speaker 5: A tiny tax cut on the one side or a
- 3:40Speaker 5: temporary change in the fuel x scise rate on the
- 3:42Speaker 5: other side.
- 3:42Speaker 4: That's basically the only difference, more or less.
- 3:45Speaker 5: And because the coalition supports in it zero, it does
- 3:47Speaker 5: make it very hard for them to attack Labor on
- 3:49Speaker 5: their energy policies because ultimately they both have the same,
- 3:53Speaker 5: you know, the same apparent.
- 3:54Speaker 2: Goal, and it flows into other parts of the economy
- 3:58Speaker 2: as well, because of course energy policy impacts everything. So
- 4:01Speaker 2: when you're talking about a cost of living election, we're
- 4:04Speaker 2: talking about what is inflationary, what's causing people paying day
- 4:08Speaker 2: to day? That comes into it. So it just really
- 4:12Speaker 2: hamstrings them on a number of fronts. But is it
- 4:15Speaker 2: too late now to come out boldly and say we
- 4:19Speaker 2: are of course we've got nuclear that's going to be
- 4:23Speaker 2: twenty thirty five onwards. But before then we are going
- 4:27Speaker 2: to make sure that we've got plenty of coal and
- 4:30Speaker 2: gas to have reliable, cheap energy.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:34Speaker 5: Look, I mean this is probably one for the political strategist,
- 4:36Speaker 5: but I don't think it's too late, And certainly, if
- 4:39Speaker 5: their polling gets worse and worse, I think they really
- 4:42Speaker 5: just should. I mean, if we're sitting here in a
- 4:44Speaker 5: week's time and the poll's even worse, surely it's time
- 4:46Speaker 5: to think about something like that. But you mentioned nuclear,
- 4:49Speaker 5: and I haven't really talked about nuclear much. I think
- 4:51Speaker 5: the opposition later mentioned it once in his budget reply speech.
- 4:54Speaker 2: Labours seem to be talking about it more than they
- 4:56Speaker 2: are as an attack, as opposed to them actually promoting
- 5:00Speaker 2: it as a way of safeguarding our future and making
- 5:03Speaker 2: sure we actually do have cheap, reliable energy, as well
- 5:08Speaker 2: as slashing emissions if that's a priority. Now, you mentioned
- 5:12Speaker 2: the betting markets, so let's have a look at how
- 5:14Speaker 2: they're looking. Sports bet has Labor slightly in front a
- 5:17Speaker 2: dollar eighty to two dollars ten majority, Government three dollars
- 5:22Speaker 2: twenty five. No majority is the hot favorite there dollar thirty.
- 5:26Speaker 2: And that's really the real fear, isn't it, Because we're
- 5:28Speaker 2: talking about green labor coalition, green TiAl labor coalition, any
- 5:35Speaker 2: sort of combination. There is not good same similar odds
- 5:38Speaker 2: with TAB the Libs trailing Labor slightly. And again the
- 5:43Speaker 2: money is in for a minority government. So that's I
- 5:50Speaker 2: think what we're worried about.
- 5:51Speaker 5: Yeah, look, and that's because Labor did so about it
- 5:53Speaker 5: last time. I think they have seventy seven seats, you know,
- 5:55Speaker 5: and the parliaments one hundred and fifty seats, so they
- 5:57Speaker 5: have a tiny majority. They can't afford to go back
- 5:59Speaker 5: with much. The Liberal Party, though, I think, has to
- 6:02Speaker 5: win twenty two seats in net terms to form a
- 6:04Speaker 5: majority government, so that is a big ask.
- 6:07Speaker 4: Then again, there are lots of seats.
- 6:08Speaker 5: That are held very marginally by the Labor Party, so
- 6:10Speaker 5: you know, even a two three four percent swing is
- 6:12Speaker 5: going to bring up a lot of seats. But of
- 6:14Speaker 5: course the swing is not going to be uniform. I
- 6:16Speaker 5: mean every seat is different, so we don't know how
- 6:17Speaker 5: it's going to play out. But yes, sadly, it looks
- 6:19Speaker 5: like it's going to be a minority government and the
- 6:21Speaker 5: real fault of that is I think that nea side,
- 6:24Speaker 5: you know, really offers much of an alternative, and so
- 6:26Speaker 5: that they are so similar, of course they end up
- 6:28Speaker 5: with the same number of seats more or less.
- 6:30Speaker 2: Absolutely Now, Pro Palace sdin in activists are planning to
- 6:34Speaker 2: resume weekly protests in Melbourne with support from members of
- 6:38Speaker 2: the Greens. Hardline activists Mohammed Sharap, who's facing a kidnapping
- 6:42Speaker 2: and assault trial, called Peter Dutton a racist TMU Trump,
- 6:47Speaker 2: saying we don't need a more racist government than the
- 6:50Speaker 2: one we have. He also said this is a very
- 6:53Speaker 2: critical time for us to go and disrupt those election campaigns.
- 6:58Speaker 2: Appearing on the same stage as Sharab was Green's federal
- 7:02Speaker 2: candidate for the Victorian seat of Fraser Huang Trang, who
- 7:05Speaker 2: said that Parliament is a racist, white supremacist colonial institution
- 7:11Speaker 2: that still has not grappled with the fact that it
- 7:14Speaker 2: is illegitimate until it recognizes sovereignty for First Nations people. Adam,
- 7:20Speaker 2: but she wants to join this racist, white supremacist colonial institution.
- 7:25Speaker 4: Well, that's a good point.
- 7:26Speaker 2: This isn't that fantastic.
- 7:27Speaker 5: That's a good point because of the paying conditions are
- 7:29Speaker 5: so good in the Parliament, so.
- 7:31Speaker 4: It's worth living with all the racism apparently.
- 7:33Speaker 5: But look, the first thing that jumped out there for
- 7:35Speaker 5: me was this is the Green's party.
- 7:37Speaker 4: Where's to talk about the environment here?
- 7:38Speaker 5: This is all about Palestine, So this is this is
- 7:41Speaker 5: this is just a hard one.
- 7:42Speaker 2: Oh, we know her mass are very very keen on
- 7:44Speaker 2: green policies, that their emissions are next to nothing.
- 7:47Speaker 5: You know, so observers should realize this is not the
- 7:48Speaker 5: party of Bob Brown anymore. This is a hard left
- 7:52Speaker 5: party which often is far more interested in these niche
- 7:55Speaker 5: left wing issues about foreign policy than it is about
- 7:57Speaker 5: the actual environment.
- 7:59Speaker 4: You know, it's a take away.
- 8:00Speaker 5: But the accusations of racism, of course completely ridiculous, And
- 8:03Speaker 5: Charlie is this has been going on for decades.
- 8:05Speaker 4: It's so boring. You know, they really need a new word.
- 8:07Speaker 4: Really it is.
- 8:08Speaker 2: They have misused and overused that word so much that
- 8:11Speaker 2: it means nothing, which is actually not a great thing,
- 8:13Speaker 2: because when there is genuine racism and you call it out,
- 8:17Speaker 2: it doesn't mean anything because you can only cry wolf
- 8:20Speaker 2: so many times.
- 8:21Speaker 5: When calling Australia racist in particular, it's so ridiculous too.
- 8:24Speaker 5: I think I mean it really is one of the
- 8:25Speaker 5: least racist countries in the world.
- 8:27Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, And anyone who's got any sort of who's
- 8:30Speaker 2: cracked open a book over the last twenty years or
- 8:33Speaker 2: has traveled anywhere would know that. Now, let's talk about
- 8:36Speaker 2: the Friends of the ABC, another activist group. They've they're
- 8:41Speaker 2: very perturbed. They're crying poor on behalf of the ABC
- 8:45Speaker 2: ahead of the federal election, and an email to the
- 8:48Speaker 2: Auntie Army President Cassandra Parkinson has warned that the stakes
- 8:52Speaker 2: are high for the ABC in this election, and she
- 8:55Speaker 2: also lamented that there was nothing in the budget for
- 8:58Speaker 2: the ABC. Nothing in the They're getting over a billion
- 9:02Speaker 2: dollars a year to completely disregard their charter. I don't
- 9:06Speaker 2: know how much more they want at them.
- 9:07Speaker 5: Yeah, look, I mean it's just ridiculous that that that
- 9:10Speaker 5: message was even sent. As you say, they get a
- 9:12Speaker 5: huge pot of money every single year for doing nothing.
- 9:14Speaker 5: I mean, frankly, the public case for the ABC, if
- 9:17Speaker 5: there ever was one, just really isn't there anymore. I Mean,
- 9:19Speaker 5: we all have so much choice with our media consumption
- 9:21Speaker 5: bea the Internet, obviously, we can you know, we can
- 9:23Speaker 5: read newspapers from all around the world. We can consume
- 9:26Speaker 5: all sorts of TV all around the world. There really
- 9:28Speaker 5: is no case for this institution anymore.
- 9:31Speaker 4: Sadly, you know, as grateful as I am that they
- 9:34Speaker 4: sometimes have me on. Of course, I am the public
- 9:36Speaker 4: policy case.
- 9:37Speaker 2: Going to bring you a clip of you on the
- 9:39Speaker 2: ABC shortly that that was you on Q and A
- 9:43Speaker 2: last week. But let's first look at this example of
- 9:47Speaker 2: another twisted priority of the Alban Eazy government and our universities.
- 9:51Speaker 2: It must be said the government is now strongly encouraging
- 9:54Speaker 2: students in poverty stricken puppy New Guinea to apply for
- 9:58Speaker 2: scholarships to study get this climate change, gender studies and
- 10:02Speaker 2: disability policy, when in previous years the focus has been
- 10:07Speaker 2: on our agriculture or medicine or education. Out of had
- 10:11Speaker 2: quaint that you know, you would expect them to talk
- 10:13Speaker 2: about gender studies instead of perhaps study medicine.
- 10:16Speaker 5: I mean, these topics are so stupid. This is one
- 10:19Speaker 5: of the poorest countries in the world. It's one of
- 10:20Speaker 5: our neighbors. You know, we do have an obligation to
- 10:23Speaker 5: try to lift their living standards. These sorts of courses
- 10:26Speaker 5: are just totally ridiculous. I mean, we should be educating
- 10:28Speaker 5: them in areas that they can help their own country
- 10:29Speaker 5: when they go back. And of course this is a
- 10:31Speaker 5: reminder of the US AID schedule.
- 10:33Speaker 2: That's what I thought of when I read.
- 10:35Speaker 5: That these foreign policy agencies are just chopped full of
- 10:38Speaker 5: hardcore left wing ideologues who are far more interested in
- 10:42Speaker 5: spreading their ideology around the world than they aren't actually
- 10:44Speaker 5: lifting living standards. So this is a prime case of that.
- 10:47Speaker 5: And also this is what an Australian dohoge could chop
- 10:50Speaker 5: if we.
- 10:50Speaker 2: Absolutely and this is precisely the sort of thing that
- 10:54Speaker 2: tax payers don't want their money wasted on, and these
- 10:57Speaker 2: activists push their agenda without tax pay dollars and that's
- 11:01Speaker 2: why it's being tackled in the US, but locally really
- 11:05Speaker 2: not hearing much from resistance even from the Coalition about this.
- 11:10Speaker 2: The Park Height in Melbourne, a hotel here in Melbourne,
- 11:13Speaker 2: has caved to online activists and canceled plans to host
- 11:17Speaker 2: a memorial for Cardinal George Pearl, citing a height and
- 11:20Speaker 2: risk to the safety of its staff. And guess adam,
- 11:23Speaker 2: the left santis it's the history of violent protests really
- 11:27Speaker 2: do seem to give them this veto power. This is
- 11:30Speaker 2: another example of the heckless Vita.
- 11:33Speaker 4: No, that's exactly right.
- 11:33Speaker 5: Look, I think it's pretty weak on the hotel's part
- 11:36Speaker 5: to go back on this. I think that they should
- 11:37Speaker 5: be tougher. There's far too much caving to these people.
- 11:39Speaker 4: I agree. We always hear about the dangers of the
- 11:41Speaker 4: far right. It's actually the far left that are far scarier.
- 11:44Speaker 2: Actually, it was the last time a far left a
- 11:48Speaker 2: figure didn't have a foot launch or didn't have an
- 11:50Speaker 2: event because of right wing Yeah, it just wouldn't happen.
- 11:54Speaker 2: And if there wasn't even a hint of it, you
- 11:56Speaker 2: would have so many police there on the taxpayer's dime of.
- 12:00Speaker 4: Course as well. Except you, Except.
- 12:03Speaker 2: Now, Adam, before you go. You appeared on the ABCISQ
- 12:07Speaker 2: and A program last week. You said plenty that's shockly apparently,
- 12:13Speaker 2: But I don't know shocked because we keep being told
- 12:17Speaker 2: that the audience is very much diverse. Half it didn't
- 12:21Speaker 2: get left leaning, half conservative, one single platform. Okay, let's
- 12:27Speaker 2: just have a look at twenty seconds of your contribution at.
- 12:32Speaker 5: Zero, which we impose on ourselves. It is in effect
- 12:35Speaker 5: a huge tariff on our manufacturing sector. It's a huge
- 12:38Speaker 5: tariff on our energy prices, and it's not just.
- 12:40Speaker 4: The power builder that effects.
- 12:41Speaker 5: Of course, the cost of energy ripples through the cost
- 12:44Speaker 5: of everything in the economy, and so the cause of
- 12:47Speaker 5: the huge increase in cost of living is basically government
- 12:50Speaker 5: those two things I just mentioned.
- 12:54Speaker 4: He was very upset with my answer. She was not
- 12:57Speaker 4: ready heard of that just common sense, that what I said.
- 13:00Speaker 2: Well, of course it was. But you need to give
- 13:03Speaker 2: trigger warnings before you start spitting facts like that. You
- 13:05Speaker 2: can't just go there. You did challenge the net zero
- 13:09Speaker 2: dogma on the ABC do you were you sick of life?
- 13:12Speaker 2: For you wanting to be well? Actually harassed leaving the studio?
- 13:17Speaker 2: Why did you do that?
- 13:17Speaker 5: Well, actually, a few days later the clip went viral
- 13:20Speaker 5: on x base.
- 13:21Speaker 4: A lot of other accounts picked it up.
- 13:22Speaker 5: I didn't push them, I didn't tweet it out, but
- 13:24Speaker 5: suddenly it appeared. So I think there is a real
- 13:26Speaker 5: thirst for people to criticize net zero, not just on
- 13:29Speaker 5: the right, but in the center and even on the left.
- 13:31Speaker 5: In fact, one guy who retweeted I think is a
- 13:34Speaker 5: left wing economist that is like, it's great to hear
- 13:36Speaker 5: the truth. Finally, well, of course, I mean, you can
- 13:38Speaker 5: like net zero, but you still should appreciate that it
- 13:40Speaker 5: is the source of our massive cost of living crisis
- 13:43Speaker 5: in large part.
- 13:44Speaker 2: Absolutely, this is what I don't understand if ideologically you
- 13:48Speaker 2: believe this is the greatest moral dilemma of our time
- 13:52Speaker 2: and it's worth the cost then to argue that, but
- 13:55Speaker 2: pretending like renewables are the cheapest form of energy whilst
- 14:00Speaker 2: we know the experience is absolutely the polar opposite. Absolutely
- 14:04Speaker 2: is just treating everyday people like their idiots. And I
- 14:08Speaker 2: think people are finally waking up and see if the
- 14:11Speaker 2: coalition gives them a choice at the polls. Adam Kristen,
- 14:14Speaker 2: thanks for your time today. Thanks Er joining me now
- 14:17Speaker 2: is a steem geologist and author, Professor Ian Primer Professor.
- 14:21Speaker 2: Let's start with this massive backflip from Anthony Albernezi is
- 14:25Speaker 2: now abandoned. The modeling underpinning labours promised to cut power
- 14:30Speaker 2: bills by three hundred and seventy eight dollars a year
- 14:32Speaker 2: and reduce emissions by forty three percent by twenty thirty.
- 14:36Speaker 6: You've by many international factors for not hitting your two
- 14:39Speaker 6: hundred and seventy five dollars pledge. Hit that same reputex
- 14:43Speaker 6: modeling full cast electricity prices from now until twenty thirty,
- 14:47Speaker 6: we're reduced by one hundred dollars.
- 14:50Speaker 4: Do you stand by that modeling?
- 14:53Speaker 1: It's reputex as modeling.
- 14:56Speaker 6: But no, excuse me, you talk that was what you
- 15:00Speaker 6: your policies on.
- 15:01Speaker 2: It's repitexas model co ownership of that modeling.
- 15:04Speaker 7: It's reputexas modeling from that time.
- 15:06Speaker 4: You don't support the modeling anymore. This is you walking
- 15:08Speaker 4: away from that modeling.
- 15:09Speaker 7: It's reputexas modeling based upon the circumstances at that time.
- 15:13Speaker 2: But this is the very same modeling that he's sensationally
- 15:17Speaker 2: champion at the last election.
- 15:18Speaker 7: This is the most comprehensive modeling ever done for any
- 15:23Speaker 7: policy by any opposition in Australia's history since federation.
- 15:29Speaker 2: And what has gone wrong the modeling, the promises, it's
- 15:33Speaker 2: all falling apart.
- 15:35Speaker 8: Well, the models gave the wrong answer and the models
- 15:38Speaker 8: don't work, and he's got a retreat from that position,
- 15:42Speaker 8: and that makes his life pretty difficult.
- 15:44Speaker 1: And to then try to argue it's international.
- 15:49Speaker 8: Features that are driving the.
- 15:52Speaker 1: Costs, well, that's just nonsense. We have abundant energy in
- 15:56Speaker 1: this country. It was once cheap and reliable.
- 16:00Speaker 8: It's been destroyed by putting in renewables and following the models,
- 16:05Speaker 8: so he's working up the models don't work.
- 16:08Speaker 1: Now, models often don't work.
- 16:09Speaker 8: They're only a naive way of trying to understand how
- 16:12Speaker 8: matters work. We know with climate models. There's more than
- 16:16Speaker 8: one hundred climate models, and we've had forty years of
- 16:19Speaker 8: climate modeling. We can see when we compare the models
- 16:24Speaker 8: with what we've measured, the models don't work. So I'm
- 16:27Speaker 8: not surprised it's a fairly weak way of getting out.
- 16:31Speaker 1: Of it by blaming the modeling organization.
- 16:33Speaker 8: I think he should shoulder the responsibility and say, well, folks,
- 16:37Speaker 8: we trusted these models.
- 16:39Speaker 1: We find they're not working, and we're going to move on.
- 16:42Speaker 8: And if he was a real prime ministry would have said,
- 16:44Speaker 8: we're going to move on and get rid of net zero.
- 16:46Speaker 8: And by the way, we're going to move on and
- 16:48Speaker 8: go back to cheap and reliable energy which you once had,
- 16:51Speaker 8: and we will resurrect the coal mining and a coal
- 16:54Speaker 8: burning industry to give you cheap electricity.
- 16:59Speaker 2: Well that's never going to happen, particularly not when he's
- 17:02Speaker 2: got the likes of Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris
- 17:05Speaker 2: Bowen in his ear let's have a look at this
- 17:08Speaker 2: video Bowen posted about the Coalition's policies, their nuclear policy,
- 17:14Speaker 2: in particular, are.
- 17:18Speaker 9: You waiting for that box to hit me? Well, if
- 17:19Speaker 9: you don't like waiting, you will hate the Coalition's nuclear
- 17:23Speaker 9: policy because they're going to make Australia wait until the
- 17:26Speaker 9: twenty forties before we get any new electricity from nuclear,
- 17:31Speaker 9: and that is not time that we have. Nuclear is
- 17:34Speaker 9: expensive and slow to build, and that'll mean relying on
- 17:37Speaker 9: coal firepower for longer, Terrible for emissions, terrible for reliability
- 17:42Speaker 9: because coal fire power stations break down every single day.
- 17:46Speaker 10: So if you don't want to wait, let's get on
- 17:48Speaker 10: with the.
- 17:49Speaker 9: Job of more cheaper, cleaner renewable energy now, not in
- 17:53Speaker 9: the twenty forties.
- 17:54Speaker 2: Okay, it's another clownish video. He makes the ridiculous claims
- 17:59Speaker 2: that coal isn't reliable, but it does make a decent point.
- 18:03Speaker 2: I think about the Coalition's nuclear policy in that it's
- 18:08Speaker 2: years away. So what are they really giving us for
- 18:12Speaker 2: their next term in government? What are we voting for?
- 18:16Speaker 8: Well, mister Boone's painfully embarrassing the coalitions nuclear policy.
- 18:22Speaker 1: I think it's a very good policy, But mister.
- 18:24Speaker 8: Bowen is correct, This is going to take time before
- 18:27Speaker 8: you can build those stations. In the interim, we have
- 18:30Speaker 8: very old coal fired power stations that haven't had maintenance
- 18:34Speaker 8: and haven't had investment because of the insecure market that
- 18:38Speaker 8: the renewables have created. So the easiest thing to do
- 18:41Speaker 8: is to get rid of the subsidies for the renewables.
- 18:45Speaker 8: These subsidies are costing the taxpayer a huge.
- 18:48Speaker 1: Amount of money.
- 18:49Speaker 8: Get rid of those subsidies, build a few new coal
- 18:51Speaker 8: fired power stations, resurrect a few coal fired power stations,
- 18:55Speaker 8: and that will keep us going in the interim until
- 18:58Speaker 8: we get nuclear and hopefully well have both coal and nuclear,
- 19:02Speaker 8: because then we.
- 19:02Speaker 1: Would have really reliable energy.
- 19:04Speaker 8: So I don't think the Coalition is very much better
- 19:06Speaker 8: than Labor on the energy policy.
- 19:10Speaker 2: Well, they've given us a little bit more detail on
- 19:13Speaker 2: their gas policy. They're going to force producers to keep
- 19:17Speaker 2: more gas in Australia. If they don't comply by these requirements,
- 19:23Speaker 2: they will be hit with financial penalties, and that extra
- 19:27Speaker 2: gas for domestic consumption would be around ten to twenty
- 19:30Speaker 2: percent of what we currently have extra. But ian do
- 19:35Speaker 2: we know what that's going to do to prices? Is
- 19:39Speaker 2: that really an answer just diverting the gas supply domestically
- 19:44Speaker 2: rather than actually boosting production.
- 19:47Speaker 1: Well, that's the key point.
- 19:49Speaker 8: We have a structural short supply of gas and the
- 19:53Speaker 8: only way you can get more gas into the system
- 19:56Speaker 8: is to drill more.
- 19:56Speaker 1: Well, you have to drill.
- 19:58Speaker 8: Now, we have some many impediments to putting in a
- 20:01Speaker 8: new gas well. We have so many impediments for building
- 20:04Speaker 8: a gas field, building a gas compression plant that that
- 20:08Speaker 8: takes years.
- 20:09Speaker 1: It takes very high risk investment.
- 20:11Speaker 8: Its investment a lot of people are not prepared to
- 20:13Speaker 8: put into Australia. So we have had for a long
- 20:17Speaker 8: while a policy of slowing down development, slowing down the
- 20:20Speaker 8: production of energy for the industry, for the making of materials,
- 20:25Speaker 8: factories use a lot of gas, and for domestic use.
- 20:29Speaker 8: Now we have long term contracts that gas goes into
- 20:33Speaker 8: Australia on a broad to fulfill those long term contracts.
- 20:37Speaker 1: We have areas which we.
- 20:39Speaker 8: Still can't operate in, such as Santos As Narrabri gas field.
- 20:44Speaker 8: That's taken more than fifteen years of haggling and there
- 20:48Speaker 8: still is no gas coming from that field. So the
- 20:51Speaker 8: real problem is not the amount of gas, not the pipelines,
- 20:55Speaker 8: but it's there is a structural supply problem and that
- 20:59Speaker 8: is driven and by the approvals, and it's driven by governments.
- 21:06Speaker 2: Absolutely, it is. It is government's red tape, green tape,
- 21:11Speaker 2: black tape, as you've talked about, that has stifled this sector.
- 21:17Speaker 2: It's incredible that we are sitting on hundreds of years
- 21:20Speaker 2: of gas reserves and we've got shortages and we've got
- 21:24Speaker 2: to go to these measures to try to get supply.
- 21:26Speaker 2: Professor im Plymer, thanks so much for your time tonight.
- 21:30Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 21:31Speaker 2: Still to come left. He is losing it. Plus anti
- 21:34Speaker 2: Musk protests evolved into violence. Josh Hammer as the latest
- 21:48Speaker 2: welcome back. It's time for left. He's losing it. Let's
- 21:52Speaker 2: start with this bit of wisdom from the man who
- 21:54Speaker 2: wants to be president. Yes, Tim Wall's the worst ever
- 21:58Speaker 2: vice presidential candidate wants to go one better and be
- 22:02Speaker 2: the worst ever presidential candidate. Listen here as he argues
- 22:06Speaker 2: that Democrats should have gone harder, harder embracing DEI wokeness
- 22:11Speaker 2: open borders.
- 22:13Speaker 11: We let them define the issue on immigration, We let
- 22:16Speaker 11: them define the issue on d and I DEI, and
- 22:19Speaker 11: we let them define what woke is. We got ourselves
- 22:24Speaker 11: in this mass because we weren't bold enough to stand
- 22:26Speaker 11: up and say, you damn right, we're proud of these policies.
- 22:29Speaker 4: We're going to put them in and we're going to
- 22:31Speaker 4: execute them.
- 22:32Speaker 2: Republicans everywhere should be praying that the Democrats listened to him,
- 22:37Speaker 2: because they will never ever win the White House again
- 22:40Speaker 2: if they double down on that idiocy. Now, talking about
- 22:44Speaker 2: doubling down on idiocy and lunacy, time to check in
- 22:47Speaker 2: with the ladies of the View, and here Joy Behar
- 22:50Speaker 2: claims that no sitting president has ever criticized his predecessor
- 22:56Speaker 2: before Donald Trump. She actually said this.
- 22:59Speaker 10: They also to see to blame the Biden administration up.
- 23:02Speaker 2: It's like, move on, that ship is sailed.
- 23:05Speaker 3: I never remember in my lifetime a sitting president trashing
- 23:08Speaker 3: a previous president.
- 23:09Speaker 2: I've never heard that before your hero Joe Biden wanted
- 23:13Speaker 2: to put his predecessor in prison. Joy. We don't have
- 23:16Speaker 2: time for all the hours upon hours of footage of
- 23:19Speaker 2: Joe Biden trashing Donald Trump. So he's just twenty seconds
- 23:24Speaker 2: of him repeating a dangerous debunk lie about Donald Trump
- 23:28Speaker 2: and then saying we should lock him up.
- 23:30Speaker 8: When the President was asked what he thought had happened.
- 23:34Speaker 1: Donald Trump said, I quote.
- 23:37Speaker 8: There are very fine people on both sides.
- 23:40Speaker 1: My god, that's me said.
- 23:44Speaker 4: It sounds like I said this five years ago. You
- 23:47Speaker 4: liked me up. We gotta like him up.
- 23:50Speaker 11: Now.
- 23:50Speaker 2: To a woman who would no doubt be a finalist
- 23:53Speaker 2: in the Victim Olympics, here is a woman living in
- 23:56Speaker 2: the West choosing to subjugate herself behind a nick a
- 24:01Speaker 2: dehumanizing face covering, and then complaining about how hard it
- 24:06Speaker 2: is to eat in public. I was struggling to eat
- 24:09Speaker 2: in a veill at the beach end.
- 24:10Speaker 9: This happened.
- 24:11Speaker 2: Usually it's a struggle for me to eat outside anywhere,
- 24:13Speaker 2: and sometimes like I can always just pull up my
- 24:15Speaker 2: veill like this, eat through here. I actually found a
- 24:17Speaker 2: better solution. This is my solution.
- 24:19Speaker 4: Guys.
- 24:19Speaker 2: We actually have a tenn There is a window, so
- 24:21Speaker 2: I can just put it down when I'm eating to
- 24:23Speaker 2: have my bagel, turn around and lift my bill and
- 24:26Speaker 2: eat this way. Everything's covered right now. You can't see anything.
- 24:29Speaker 1: You can't see anything not I can.
- 24:30Speaker 2: Also turn around and eat. I just have to put
- 24:32Speaker 2: this up.
- 24:33Speaker 1: Can I have a bite?
- 24:34Speaker 12: No?
- 24:34Speaker 1: Can I be in there when you're eating?
- 24:35Speaker 2: Why are you in here when I'm eating bie.
- 24:37Speaker 13: Hey, isn't it so sad that you have to rely
- 24:39Speaker 13: on attempt to eat?
- 24:40Speaker 2: Yeah, it's sad. So make more female only accessible places.
- 24:43Speaker 2: Oh dear, it's like chopping off your legs and complaining
- 24:47Speaker 2: about not being able to walk.
- 24:48Speaker 1: You know what.
- 24:49Speaker 2: There are a number of Muslim majority countries, more than
- 24:52Speaker 2: fifty in fact, where you can have all sorts of
- 24:56Speaker 2: women only areas, And those countries are also full of
- 24:59Speaker 2: millions of a pressed women, many of whom would love
- 25:02Speaker 2: to be free of the veil, to be free in
- 25:05Speaker 2: the West. Perhaps you can swap places with one of them. Now,
- 25:09Speaker 2: let's hear from a couple of our celebrity friends. They
- 25:12Speaker 2: are always so in touch with everyday folks, so insightful
- 25:17Speaker 2: and not at all self involved narcissists. Here is Cynthia
- 25:22Speaker 2: Aarrevo bleating about preferred pronouns hers art they them she
- 25:27Speaker 2: identifies as a plural. It isn't easy.
- 25:32Speaker 14: None of it is waking up and choosing to be yourself,
- 25:37Speaker 14: proclaiming a space belongs to you when you don't feel welcomed,
- 25:41Speaker 14: teaching people on a daily basis how to address you,
- 25:45Speaker 14: and dealing with the frustration of reteaching people a word
- 25:48Speaker 14: that has been in the human vocabulary since the dawn
- 25:50Speaker 14: of time. They them words used to describe pedantically two
- 25:56Speaker 14: or more people, poetically a person and who is simply more.
- 26:02Speaker 2: Oh so, if you don't want to deliberately mangle the
- 26:05Speaker 2: English language to Panda to the likes of her, then
- 26:08Speaker 2: you'll being pedantic, don't you. You know she's more, She's
- 26:12Speaker 2: so much more.
- 26:13Speaker 15: You know what?
- 26:14Speaker 2: This next girl argued, The they them message so much better.
- 26:25Speaker 2: Oh love, it never stops being funny. But let's go
- 26:27Speaker 2: back to our insufferable celebrities. And here is Bob Geldoff.
- 26:31Speaker 2: It's been decades since he released anything that anyone wants
- 26:35Speaker 2: to listen to, but here he is with another unhinged
- 26:38Speaker 2: die tribe about Elon Musk, and here he says that
- 26:42Speaker 2: he hopes to see teenagers mess with Elon's wealth.
- 26:46Speaker 15: If I was fifteen or sixteen, I promise you what
- 26:49Speaker 15: I definitely.
- 26:50Speaker 1: Do, just for the lulls.
- 26:53Speaker 15: I would organize a boycott of all things Musco. I
- 26:58Speaker 15: would organize a boycott of Star Tesla, you know, Twitter X,
- 27:04Speaker 15: And I do it because I had nothing to lose.
- 27:07Speaker 15: But how amazing if you could mess with this guy's
- 27:11Speaker 15: vast inappropriate world.
- 27:14Speaker 2: Now we are seeing a lot of Elon Musk inspired
- 27:17Speaker 2: derangement from lefties. Watch these damaged people scream shame at
- 27:22Speaker 2: a dude in a Tesla for a sea. Say yes,
- 27:33Speaker 2: there's an epidemic of crazy lefty losers who are attacking
- 27:38Speaker 2: tesla's and tesla drivers and these attacks are becoming increasingly violent.
- 27:44Speaker 2: Watch what happened to this sixty one year old woman.
- 27:47Speaker 10: This is video from the victims tesla camera. It shows
- 27:50Speaker 10: a green car pulling up to a Tesla and busy
- 27:52Speaker 10: Route sixty six, then swerving in front to box the
- 27:56Speaker 10: tesla in. The driver then walks over to the sixty
- 27:59Speaker 10: one year old woman in the Tesla and reportedly starts
- 28:02Speaker 10: hitting her while she's sitting behind the wheel. At one point,
- 28:05Speaker 10: the woman says she bit the man's hand. Moments later,
- 28:09Speaker 10: the passenger of the green car appears to walk over
- 28:11Speaker 10: and pull the attacker away. They finally get back in
- 28:15Speaker 10: their car and drive off. We spoke to the victim
- 28:17Speaker 10: today who said she was terrified and can't understand why
- 28:21Speaker 10: anyone would do this.
- 28:22Speaker 2: I'm ashamed of our society and what they're doing.
- 28:26Speaker 10: The victim, along with the other Tesla owner who received
- 28:29Speaker 10: a threatening note in text, have both now signed up
- 28:32Speaker 10: for a gun safety course at a gun range north
- 28:35Speaker 10: of Flagstaff. They tell us they don't feel safe right now.
- 28:39Speaker 2: Unbelievable attacking a sixty one year old woman. Hopefully that
- 28:43Speaker 2: lifty loonies behind Baz and soon This next lefty has
- 28:47Speaker 2: been arrested for allegedly driving into a pro Trump protester
- 28:52Speaker 2: with his car.
- 28:53Speaker 16: We just learned that a seventy year old man was
- 28:55Speaker 16: arrested after Meridian police say he hit another man with
- 28:59Speaker 16: his car. Today's demonstrations at the Tesla dealership in Meridian.
- 29:03Speaker 16: Please say, seventy year old Christopher Talbot and Meridian made
- 29:07Speaker 16: an obscene gesture towards a counter protester and then hit
- 29:11Speaker 16: him with his car. Please say the victim had been
- 29:13Speaker 16: driving a truck with pro Trump flags and had just
- 29:16Speaker 16: parked and gotten out of his car when Talbot hit him.
- 29:20Speaker 2: Jodding me now is Newsweek's senior editor at Large and
- 29:23Speaker 2: Article three projects Senior Council Josh Hamma. Josh, someone is
- 29:28Speaker 2: going to get killed soon if the Left don't stop
- 29:32Speaker 2: this lawlessness, this unhinged violence.
- 29:37Speaker 13: Well unfortunately, Rita. There's one thing that we know about
- 29:39Speaker 13: the left, going back at least as far as Karl Marx. Frankly,
- 29:43Speaker 13: you could probably go back at least even further to
- 29:45Speaker 13: the French Revolution in the late eighteenth century. They love violence.
- 29:49Speaker 13: Violence is actually part and parcel of what they believe.
- 29:51Speaker 13: I mean, if you look at what the modern left
- 29:53Speaker 13: stands for, they stand for barbarism against civilization. They stand
- 29:56Speaker 13: for tearing things down, not for building things up. Of
- 30:00Speaker 13: that old school Marxist class envy I think is really
- 30:04Speaker 13: part of what is going on here. Elon Musk is
- 30:06Speaker 13: literally the number one richest man in the world. You
- 30:08Speaker 13: cannot pick a more picture perfect target of left wing
- 30:12Speaker 13: classic Marxist iyre and angst and frustration than Elon Musk.
- 30:17Speaker 13: There is a man who has built successful companies, not
- 30:19Speaker 13: just Tesla, but space x. He's of course now leading Twitter,
- 30:23Speaker 13: ak X into the free speech era and so forth
- 30:26Speaker 13: as well. There So it's for all of those reasons,
- 30:28Speaker 13: but more to the point, I mean, as an American
- 30:31Speaker 13: who has to live with these people, I have to
- 30:33Speaker 13: actually walk down the sidewalk, go to the supermarket, go
- 30:36Speaker 13: go to the grocery store. I to like, look at
- 30:37Speaker 13: these people in the face there. I mean, it is
- 30:40Speaker 13: these fraying of the civic bonds of citizenship that ultimately,
- 30:44Speaker 13: in the long term, have the pernicious potential to unravel
- 30:48Speaker 13: the entire nation if it continues. I'm not saying that
- 30:51Speaker 13: the nation is going to disintegrate tomorrow from this, but
- 30:54Speaker 13: you have to prosecute this behavior.
- 30:56Speaker 4: I mean, you.
- 30:56Speaker 13: Literally cannot let them get away with this there. It
- 30:59Speaker 13: kind of reminds me actually of the post October seven stuff,
- 31:01Speaker 13: the prof and Mark protest. There was a Jewish man
- 31:03Speaker 13: tragically killed by a pro Palestinian protester or protester aka
- 31:08Speaker 13: kind of a writer out in southern California November. Very
- 31:11Speaker 13: similar stuff here. Whatever the cause of the day is, reader,
- 31:13Speaker 13: you can bank on the modern left being violent, But
- 31:16Speaker 13: the answer to violence is robust and unapologetic enforcement of
- 31:20Speaker 13: the rule of laws. Send these bums to jail if
- 31:22Speaker 13: they're na sais, and send them pack and out of
- 31:23Speaker 13: the country.
- 31:27Speaker 2: Are these protests, Josh partly organized and perhaps funded by
- 31:33Speaker 2: sous activist groups. We're hearing all sorts of reports about
- 31:37Speaker 2: how it's almost like shift work for some of these
- 31:40Speaker 2: people where they put the banners down at midday on
- 31:43Speaker 2: the dots for example, and walk off, and others come
- 31:48Speaker 2: precisely at the top of the hour.
- 31:51Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 31:51Speaker 2: It's all anecdotal, but do we know much about who's
- 31:54Speaker 2: behind them, who's perhaps helping to fund it.
- 31:59Speaker 13: We don't know for sure a lot left yet. But
- 32:02Speaker 13: what we do know is that there are a lot
- 32:04Speaker 13: of left wing protests over over the past few years,
- 32:07Speaker 13: that there have been massive amounts of so called professional protesters.
- 32:10Speaker 13: Professional protesting is now a very common thing on the left.
- 32:13Speaker 13: We saw that as at Columbia University last April and
- 32:16Speaker 13: May during the pro Hamas demonstrations there, where it was
- 32:19Speaker 13: later revealed that a lot of these people were actually
- 32:21Speaker 13: brought in by outside forces there. Frankly, a lot of
- 32:24Speaker 13: the pro hamastaff actually ends up being orchestrated by just
- 32:27Speaker 13: foreign actors, including people affiliated with the Iranian regime, people
- 32:31Speaker 13: like that there. I personally do believe, yes, that a
- 32:33Speaker 13: lot of this Testa stuff probably is due to Soro's
- 32:36Speaker 13: Open Society Foundation, Arabella Advisors, Tides Foundation. It's always the
- 32:41Speaker 13: same actors, It's always the exact same actors here. Whatever
- 32:44Speaker 13: the cause of the day is, whether it's black lives matter,
- 32:46Speaker 13: whether it's Hamas, whether it's anti Elon musk anarchy. They
- 32:49Speaker 13: gravitate to the cause of the day, and it's toxic
- 32:51Speaker 13: and evil no matter what stripe it is.
- 32:56Speaker 2: Now to the always a charming Democrat, congress Woman Jasmine Crockets,
- 33:00Speaker 2: and when she is not mocking disabled Americans in wheelchairs,
- 33:04Speaker 2: she's engaging in some what I see is virulently racist dialogue.
- 33:09Speaker 2: Listen here as she claims a black Republican colleague is
- 33:14Speaker 2: whitewashed because he married a white woman.
- 33:17Speaker 17: Some of our skin folk who definitely are not are
- 33:20Speaker 17: kim folk, such as Byron Donald's. Literally, it's because you
- 33:23Speaker 17: married a white woman, and so you think that they're whitewashing.
- 33:26Speaker 17: I'm not really sure like what it.
- 33:28Speaker 2: Is, you know.
- 33:29Speaker 17: I feel like they give him as starking points and
- 33:30Speaker 17: he's like, yes, Massa, I got it.
- 33:32Speaker 2: Charming stuff. Skin folk are not kinfolk. Josha explain the
- 33:37Speaker 2: rise and rise of Jasmine Crockett among the Democrats. The
- 33:42Speaker 2: way she talks about some of the Republicans who she serves,
- 33:47Speaker 2: with the manner in which she conducts herself, you would
- 33:52Speaker 2: think it'd almost be disqualifying, but she's got significant power
- 33:57Speaker 2: in her voice is amongst the loudest.
- 33:59Speaker 13: Right now, read, I'll give you my quick take on
- 34:03Speaker 13: Jasmine Crockett by way of a musical analogy. So I
- 34:06Speaker 13: know that you and I are both big country music fans.
- 34:08Speaker 13: I'm less certain how you feel about classic rock. But
- 34:10Speaker 13: by way of example here, let's think about the Beatles.
- 34:13Speaker 13: The Beatles are Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and
- 34:16Speaker 13: ringo star. So when the Squad comes into power in
- 34:19Speaker 13: the US house back in twenty eighteen twenty nineteen, it's
- 34:21Speaker 13: ilan Omar Rashida Tulay, Alexandro Cosio, quart Has and then
- 34:25Speaker 13: Iana Presley in Massachusetts. But people forget about Aana Presley.
- 34:29Speaker 13: I mean, she's kind of like a nothing burger these days.
- 34:30Speaker 13: So my theory on Jasmine Crockett is that Jasmine Crockett
- 34:33Speaker 13: is making a strong play to supplant Iana Presley as
- 34:36Speaker 13: the ringo star of the Squad because Lennon, McCartney and
- 34:39Speaker 13: Harrison are already taken. But she wants she wants in.
- 34:42Speaker 13: She wants in on the band. She will be there
- 34:44Speaker 13: in the background, she will do some drums there. She
- 34:46Speaker 13: wants in on just the total chaos in the far
- 34:49Speaker 13: left flank of the House Democratic Caucus there. You know,
- 34:52Speaker 13: maybe the most offensive thing about Jasmine Crockett is that
- 34:55Speaker 13: she deliberately talks. She puts on this shick, this this
- 34:59Speaker 13: apt as if see as if she's kind of like
- 35:01Speaker 13: just like fresh off the street. She has this accent
- 35:03Speaker 13: she tries to talk. It's so domeining. I mean, you
- 35:06Speaker 13: look at where this woman went to school. She went
- 35:08Speaker 13: to extremely expensive, elitist private schools her whole life. This
- 35:12Speaker 13: is not how she actually talks. It is literally all
- 35:15Speaker 13: an act. I don't know why Democrats feel that they
- 35:17Speaker 13: have to put on this act there. If I were
- 35:19Speaker 13: a Democratic voter, I would be grossly offended by this.
- 35:22Speaker 13: I would just be deeply offended there. I'm obviously not
- 35:24Speaker 13: a Democratic voter there.
- 35:26Speaker 2: I've played a footage of her before she put on
- 35:29Speaker 2: this new accent and this new act, and it is
- 35:32Speaker 2: an act. And yeah, she was beautifully spoken, that a
- 35:37Speaker 2: product of a private school education. She went to an
- 35:40Speaker 2: elite college, one of more expensive ones. I had to
- 35:44Speaker 2: look at the fees there, They're astronomical, Josh. And suddenly
- 35:48Speaker 2: she's yeah, she sounds like as she does now let's
- 35:52Speaker 2: talk about Vice President JD. Vance. He recently addressed young
- 35:56Speaker 2: Marines at Conico, and he had this message as his
- 35:59Speaker 2: celebrates what he calls a renewed sense of patriotism.
- 36:03Speaker 18: No more quotas, no more ridiculous mumbo jumbo, no more
- 36:08Speaker 18: diversity trainings.
- 36:09Speaker 16: We believe the.
- 36:10Speaker 18: Real strength and the real diversity in the United States
- 36:13Speaker 18: Marine Corps is that you all come from every walk
- 36:16Speaker 18: of life, come from every quarter of America, and you
- 36:19Speaker 18: have got the strength and the purpose to win the
- 36:22Speaker 18: nation's wars. And that is what the Marine Corps is
- 36:24Speaker 18: going to do, just like it's done for Dan Mehir
- 36:26Speaker 18: two hundred and fifty years.
- 36:30Speaker 2: Josh Dei is dead, certainly amongst the Marines, as possibly
- 36:35Speaker 2: where it was at its most dangerous and destructive to
- 36:40Speaker 2: have these elite ranks being corrupted by things other than meritocracy,
- 36:47Speaker 2: to have diversity, equity inclusion considerations brought in instead of
- 36:53Speaker 2: picking who are the elite soldiers he can serve.
- 36:56Speaker 13: So this was all along one of my top arguments
- 36:59Speaker 13: for a GDVAN it's actually being vice president of the
- 37:01Speaker 13: United States in the first place. I argue this for
- 37:03Speaker 13: months and months prior to Donaldron picking him, and one
- 37:06Speaker 13: of the reason is that I think that he is
- 37:08Speaker 13: such a good vice president and similarly actually won. The
- 37:10Speaker 13: reasons why Pete Heggsat is such an inspiring Secretary of
- 37:12Speaker 13: Defense is that these two men are very young. They
- 37:15Speaker 13: are in their early two mid forties, and they are
- 37:17Speaker 13: both veterans. They are both combat veterans of the of
- 37:20Speaker 13: the Nations America's Post nine to eleven wars. If you
- 37:24Speaker 13: want to actually look at what is one of the
- 37:26Speaker 13: number one I would argue probably the number one biggest
- 37:29Speaker 13: issue currently facing the United States military, which is plummeting recruitment.
- 37:33Speaker 13: The Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines. They've all been missing
- 37:35Speaker 13: the recruitment goals by double digit percentages for multiple years
- 37:39Speaker 13: in a row. You need people like the Secretary of
- 37:42Speaker 13: Defense and in this case, the Vice freaking President of
- 37:44Speaker 13: the United States, guys who have actually fought in these
- 37:47Speaker 13: combat in these wars there to go inspire the young soldier,
- 37:51Speaker 13: sailors and marines to actually go there and put out
- 37:53Speaker 13: videos that are disseminated across national television. There trying to
- 37:57Speaker 13: inspire young Americans to actually go to your local crument
- 38:00Speaker 13: office and serve the military gang there. That is exactly
- 38:03Speaker 13: what this country needs right now. But thankfully read it.
- 38:06Speaker 13: At this point, Dy and the military is out crippling
- 38:09Speaker 13: Obama Biden Esque rules of engagement seem to be out
- 38:12Speaker 13: the door there. America at this point is going to
- 38:14Speaker 13: fight limited wars. But when we enter those wars, we
- 38:17Speaker 13: are going to enter those wars to win. That is
- 38:19Speaker 13: the way that it should be.
- 38:20Speaker 1: In jd.
- 38:20Speaker 13: Fans, I think embodies that to his core.
- 38:25Speaker 2: Now to the activist judges who think they can overrule
- 38:28Speaker 2: the Julie elected president, this is the real constitutional crisis
- 38:33Speaker 2: if you ask me, Josh. And the New York Post
- 38:35Speaker 2: reports that the daughter of DC District Court Judge Chief
- 38:39Speaker 2: Judge James Bolsburg, he is the one who tried to
- 38:42Speaker 2: stop the Trump administration from deporting gang bangers to El Salvador. Well,
- 38:48Speaker 2: the daughter is employed by a nonprofit that received millions
- 38:52Speaker 2: in government funding and opposes the Lake and Riley Act.
- 38:56Speaker 2: His wife is also reportedly involved in a pro abortion
- 39:00Speaker 2: ngo partly funded by USAID. Josh, how is the administration
- 39:06Speaker 2: going to handle these activist judges going forward?
- 39:11Speaker 13: So thankfully, Rita, Congress and the President have all sorts
- 39:14Speaker 13: of remedies that they can attempt to get across the
- 39:17Speaker 13: finish line when it comes to reigning in what Alexander Hamilton,
- 39:20Speaker 13: famous who refer to as the least dangerous branch, which
- 39:22Speaker 13: is the judiciary. So actually, just in today's Wall Street Journal,
- 39:26Speaker 13: Chuck Grassley, the Senator from Iowa, has this wonderful op
- 39:29Speaker 13: ed praising his new legislation seeking to put an end
- 39:31Speaker 13: to so called nation wine injunctions, trying to bring back
- 39:35Speaker 13: the common sensical notion that when a judge issues an injunction,
- 39:38Speaker 13: it binds only two parties, the plaintiff and the defendant.
- 39:41Speaker 13: What a concept, this notion that a judicial ruling could
- 39:44Speaker 13: actually just bind the people before the court.
- 39:46Speaker 16: There.
- 39:46Speaker 13: So that's one very basic thing. Congress will also enacts
- 39:50Speaker 13: so called jurisdiction stripping legislation. They could basically just take
- 39:54Speaker 13: certain types of substantive jurisdiction, whether it's immigration law, abortion law, whatever,
- 39:59Speaker 13: they want to just take it away from federal judges
- 40:01Speaker 13: then move it to state courts. That is something that
- 40:04Speaker 13: I've been arguing since my lassuel days. Should actually be
- 40:06Speaker 13: much more frequent. Another thing that I actually do want
- 40:09Speaker 13: to see some you know, some more momentum here is
- 40:12Speaker 13: the idea of judicial impeachment. It's not actually going to
- 40:14Speaker 13: go anywhere on the Senate. I'm sober about that. But
- 40:17Speaker 13: I do think that you have to start making an
- 40:18Speaker 13: example of at least one or two of these judges,
- 40:20Speaker 13: whether it's Judge Boseburg and Washington d C. Judge McConnell,
- 40:23Speaker 13: he's the USAID judge up up in the state of
- 40:26Speaker 13: Rhode Island.
- 40:26Speaker 4: There.
- 40:26Speaker 13: These guys have to be to be made an example of,
- 40:29Speaker 13: because you have to send a messages shot across the
- 40:31Speaker 13: bow that we're not going to tolerate this behavior there,
- 40:33Speaker 13: that we're not going to allow one judge to shut
- 40:36Speaker 13: down the entire executive branch. That is not the system
- 40:38Speaker 13: the Founder's devised. And thankfully, I think President Trump and
- 40:42Speaker 13: his allies in Congress do acknowledge this. They understand this
- 40:45Speaker 13: is only a question of time, frankly, until these lower
- 40:47Speaker 13: court judges are put in their place.
- 40:51Speaker 2: Josh Hannah, thank you so much for your time tonight.
- 40:54Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 40:54Speaker 2: Rita Stilch cow Why Prince Harry is being accused of
- 40:57Speaker 2: pulling and Misulgourny at Kinsey's go Field has the details.
- 41:11Speaker 2: Welcome back, joining me now, celebrity and royal commentator Kinseiscofield Kinsey,
- 41:16Speaker 2: It's going to be a rough week for Prince Harry
- 41:19Speaker 2: after the chair of the charity Center Ballet, which he
- 41:23Speaker 2: left only last week, claimed the Duke of Sussex was
- 41:26Speaker 2: guilty of bullying and harassment within the organization.
- 41:31Speaker 3: At some point on Tuesday, Prince Harry authorized the release
- 41:35Speaker 3: of a damaging piece of news to the outside world
- 41:39Speaker 3: without informing me, all my country directors, all my executive
- 41:44Speaker 3: director and can you imagine what that attack has done
- 41:50Speaker 3: for me on me and the five hundred and forty
- 41:54Speaker 3: individuals in the Center party organizations and their family. That
- 41:57Speaker 3: is an example of harassment and bullying at scale.
- 42:02Speaker 2: Kinsey, what is the lightest here? What exactly is Harry
- 42:06Speaker 2: being accused of?
- 42:08Speaker 12: I mean, Prince Harry is being accused of doing exactly
- 42:11Speaker 12: what he accused the British Royal family of doing, weaponizing
- 42:15Speaker 12: the media against his enemy, which in this case is
- 42:19Speaker 12: doctor Sophie. Doctor Sophie blasted this I thought was important
- 42:24Speaker 12: to the decline in the Sussex is basically all over brand,
- 42:28Speaker 12: saying in an interview with Financial Times the number one
- 42:32Speaker 12: risk for the organization was the toxicity of its lead
- 42:36Speaker 12: patron's brand, and accused Prince Harry of trying to eject
- 42:40Speaker 12: her through bullying and unleashing the Sussex machine, adding that
- 42:44Speaker 12: after a review of the charity's finances in July of
- 42:47Speaker 12: twenty three that she discovered that after Prince Harry and
- 42:52Speaker 12: Meghan left the Royal family, there was a huge decline
- 42:55Speaker 12: in donations. She thinks Prince Harry's just grand standing here
- 42:59Speaker 12: and Clay he wanted to destroy the charity to later
- 43:02Speaker 12: return as its savior.
- 43:07Speaker 2: Interesting, I think. Comments were also made about Meghan Markel
- 43:12Speaker 2: and how she disrupted a charity polo event by suddenly
- 43:17Speaker 2: turning up with Serena Williams and making all sorts of
- 43:20Speaker 2: demand SKINSI yeah.
- 43:23Speaker 12: Yes, I mean that's why you saw the hoedown on
- 43:26Speaker 12: the I mean that in the dance term on the stage,
- 43:29Speaker 12: the choreography was all messed up because they weren't expecting
- 43:34Speaker 12: Meghan Markle there or Serena Williams. And she said it
- 43:37Speaker 12: was disruptive to the event, that they had spent a
- 43:39Speaker 12: significant time planning it. They were happy to have Meghan there,
- 43:42Speaker 12: but to have her pop up at the last minute
- 43:44Speaker 12: was inconvenient. And then when the chaos broke online about that,
- 43:48Speaker 12: Prince Harry had the nerve to call Doctor Sophie and
- 43:51Speaker 12: ask her to defend Meghan Markle in the press, and
- 43:54Speaker 12: she said, I'm not an extension of the Sussex brand.
- 43:56Speaker 12: I'm not going to do that.
- 44:00Speaker 15: That's it.
- 44:01Speaker 2: They wanted her to play their pr games, which is
- 44:05Speaker 2: supposed to be running a charity. Now let's move along
- 44:09Speaker 2: to Will Smith is making a comeback. He had, the,
- 44:12Speaker 2: of course, fall from grace after that slapping incident with
- 44:16Speaker 2: Chris Rock. That was three years ago. Now time flies.
- 44:19Speaker 2: He's now released his first full length music album in
- 44:23Speaker 2: two decades, called Based on a True Story? Kinsey, are
- 44:27Speaker 2: we ready to forgive? Will Smith?
- 44:31Speaker 12: Read? I am so sad. I am so sad about
- 44:34Speaker 12: this album. I loved Will Smith's music prior to this.
- 44:38Speaker 12: All the lyrics of Miami I could recite for you
- 44:40Speaker 12: right now, but I'm going to quote the Daily Mail
- 44:43Speaker 12: here that said Ken sad dad at karaoke, Will Smith
- 44:46Speaker 12: safe his career. One commentator calling this his Elvis era.
- 44:51Speaker 12: I am horrified by this album. They are saying that
- 44:56Speaker 12: he's talking to Netflix about a roast. I think that
- 45:00Speaker 12: it's more likely to revive his career than this fullop
- 45:03Speaker 12: of an album. But you know, I feel bad. I
- 45:06Speaker 12: actually feel bad for the guy because it's his Is
- 45:09Speaker 12: this a medlife crisis? Is what I'm trying to ask you.
- 45:14Speaker 2: I tell you the roast Idea is absolutely brilliant because
- 45:19Speaker 2: the material the comics could work with there is abundant.
- 45:24Speaker 2: The craziness the Jada Pinkett Smith has inflicted on that
- 45:28Speaker 2: little family some of her podcast material where she talks
- 45:33Speaker 2: about the affairs she's had and even talks to Will
- 45:37Speaker 2: about the affairs. I mean that it's also very strange. So,
- 45:41Speaker 2: oh my gosh, can you just imagine the fun the
- 45:43Speaker 2: comics could have with that. Now, let's talk about Morgan
- 45:46Speaker 2: Wollan is a country music superstar, not just country music.
- 45:50Speaker 2: He charts in the regular charts, but he's come under
- 45:53Speaker 2: five because of his abrupt departure from Saturday Night Live.
- 45:58Speaker 2: He ended the musical before by praising the Lord and
- 46:02Speaker 2: the volunteers. Country fans will get this, praise.
- 46:06Speaker 19: The Lord and go off, and this is what caused
- 46:10Speaker 19: a storm that he walked off during the credits, which
- 46:15Speaker 19: drag on for a couple of minutes on Saturday Night Live.
- 46:18Speaker 2: Thank you so much to Morgan Vahlane. I had a
- 46:21Speaker 2: wonderful time.
- 46:22Speaker 16: Thank you.
- 46:37Speaker 2: He is off and the rest of the cast to
- 46:39Speaker 2: stand around for two minutes sort of talking to each
- 46:41Speaker 2: other and dancing. I don't know why that's a feature
- 46:44Speaker 2: of the show. And then Morgan Wolland posted this to
- 46:47Speaker 2: his Instagram's story. He said, take me to God's Country
- 46:51Speaker 2: with a picture of a private plane. Kinsey, I don't
- 46:55Speaker 2: understand what the fuss is about here. Why is he
- 46:58Speaker 2: expected to stand around for two three minutes while the
- 47:01Speaker 2: casts of a painfully on funny show just I don't know,
- 47:04Speaker 2: clam around.
- 47:06Speaker 12: Yeah, this isn't his demo and it isn't as cool
- 47:08Speaker 12: of a show as it used to be. Rural conservatives
- 47:11Speaker 12: are rocking out to Morgan, and this is a program
- 47:14Speaker 12: that is metropolitan snob. In a two thousand and three interview,
- 47:18Speaker 12: then head writer Tina Fey told a reporter of SNL,
- 47:22Speaker 12: we have a liberal bias, obviously, and fellow lefties cheer
- 47:26Speaker 12: that they have this playground in Saturday Night Live. Their
- 47:30Speaker 12: ratings have been described lately as underwhelming. They need Morgan
- 47:34Speaker 12: and his base more than Morgan needs them.
- 47:39Speaker 2: Absolutely He is the superstar. He's the one who's flying
- 47:43Speaker 2: in the charts and he's the one who comes with
- 47:46Speaker 2: a massive audience while Saturday Not Lives figures are going
- 47:50Speaker 2: down the other way. So why they would be acting
- 47:53Speaker 2: up about this is beyond me. And they kind of
- 47:58Speaker 2: canceled him a few years back, didn't they. So he
- 48:01Speaker 2: went through some controversies. He's never far away from trouble.
- 48:05Speaker 2: Of course, he had that chair incident where he threw
- 48:07Speaker 2: a couple of chairs off a rooftop bar. But that's
- 48:10Speaker 2: all behind him. Kinsey. We have forgiven and we have forgotten. Kinsey.
- 48:14Speaker 2: Thank you so much for your time. I always a
- 48:16Speaker 2: pleasure to have Kinsey Schofield on the program. And that's
- 48:20Speaker 2: it from me. I'll see you tomorrow night at eleven.
- 48:24Speaker 2: Don't go anywhere. Newsnight is coming up next
