Speaker 1: On scorn Lils Ostrodio.
0:05
Speaker 2: This is the Weader Panety Show.
0:09
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Riada Paney Show. Coming
0:12
Speaker 3: up tonight, Australia faces its weakest decade of growth in
0:17
Speaker 3: living standards in over a century. The panel will join
0:20
Speaker 3: me to discuss that and the day's other top headlines.
0:24
Speaker 4: We will look at the.
0:24
Speaker 3: Cost of Chris Bowen's Cop thirty one activism professing and
0:28
Speaker 3: Primer will weigh in on that. Kelly Jane Torrance will
0:32
Speaker 3: have the latest from the US, including Stephen Miller's warning
0:36
Speaker 3: about the threat of left doing terrorism in America, and
0:40
Speaker 3: later in the hour, Alex Stein will unpack Jasmine Crockett's
0:44
Speaker 3: a race baiting commentary about the World Cup and talking
0:48
Speaker 3: about lefties losing it. Tonight's edition features a New York
0:52
Speaker 3: City Mayor Zora and Mam Danny and.
0:54
Speaker 5: I want to be equally clear, Benjamin Natanieho is not
0:58
Speaker 5: welcome in New York City. Is any other war criminal
1:00
Speaker 5: at large?
1:01
Speaker 3: But first, Australia is heading for its weakest decade of
1:05
Speaker 3: living standards growth in over a century. GDP per person
1:09
Speaker 3: has risen by just four percent so far this decade,
1:13
Speaker 3: putting the twenty twenties on track to be the weakest
1:17
Speaker 3: period of growth since the nineteen tents. Former Reserve Bank
1:21
Speaker 3: Governor Philip Low has worn that fundamental policy changes needed
1:25
Speaker 3: to encourage business investment. He also said the ongoing stagnation
1:30
Speaker 3: in living standards was sobering and it was not optimistic
1:34
Speaker 3: the situation would improve. Joining me now is former Labor
1:39
Speaker 3: MP Michael Danby and Sky News contributor Luis Roberts.
1:43
Speaker 4: Michael, I'll start with you.
1:44
Speaker 3: We've also had a number of reports this month showing
1:47
Speaker 3: Australia is struggling by international standards on both inflation and wages.
1:54
Speaker 1: Well, I have.
1:55
Speaker 6: A three point plan reader for the government restoring it's
2:01
Speaker 6: Australia's living standards. Drop many of the things that it's doing.
2:06
Speaker 6: Remember great people like Celti and Keating, cut expenditures, drop
2:14
Speaker 6: the ridiculous industrial relations laws that now enshrine pattern bargaining,
2:21
Speaker 6: to burnish Tony Burke's credentials with the CFM EU, and
2:28
Speaker 6: drop all of these craze religious environmental subsidies to Cannon
2:33
Speaker 6: Brooks and a whole bunch of other mavericks who want
2:38
Speaker 6: to capture the Australian taxpayers money. These are all things
2:41
Speaker 6: that could restore the Australian economy to the great days
2:45
Speaker 6: of the Bob Hawk hero. It's certainly not there at
2:49
Speaker 6: the moment. He's no pinch on Paul Keating. The current Treasurer.
2:56
Speaker 3: Loise the i c D has revealed that real wages
3:00
Speaker 3: in this country have fallen five percent over the past
3:04
Speaker 3: five years and that's one of the worst results among
3:08
Speaker 3: all OECD countries. So when we're feeling these cost of
3:11
Speaker 3: living pressures, we're feeling our living standards going backwards. That's
3:16
Speaker 3: just not our imagination. The data bears that out.
3:20
Speaker 4: That's right.
3:21
Speaker 7: And wow, what a figure to think they were in
3:22
Speaker 7: the worst position in over one hundred years. I mean,
3:25
Speaker 7: what an achievement for successive governments with record population growth,
3:29
Speaker 7: record inflation and record government spending of course, which we
3:32
Speaker 7: talk about frequently on their show RETA, but cost of
3:35
Speaker 7: living high and living standards down. So Australians are full
3:40
Speaker 7: throttle running at the wall just to try and stay
3:43
Speaker 7: on an even keel. I mean, nobody feel anyone I
3:46
Speaker 7: speak to you it that doesn't feel they're getting ahead.
3:47
Speaker 7: Everyone feels their going backwards, and they point the finger
3:50
Speaker 7: at the current government, but also successive governments before that.
3:54
Speaker 7: What have these politicians been doing while the rest of
3:56
Speaker 7: us are suffering in this way? And it's not one
3:58
Speaker 7: of the Businesses don't want to invest here because we
4:01
Speaker 7: have such an uncertain energy policy. The federal government says
4:04
Speaker 7: it will make energy cheaper. Certainly, the conversation outside of
4:08
Speaker 7: Canberra is that it will be the exact opposite. And
4:11
Speaker 7: our tax system is so punitive, so governments and are
4:14
Speaker 7: just penalizing businesses. There could be a load of foreign investment.
4:18
Speaker 7: People want to come in and create jobs. Whe they're thinking,
4:20
Speaker 7: you know what, it's too hard. I'll go to Singapore,
4:23
Speaker 7: I'll go to New Zealand, I'll go to the US.
4:24
Speaker 7: And that's a real tragedy for us as Australians and
4:27
Speaker 7: our economy.
4:29
Speaker 3: I'm hearing exactly the same thing Louise. Anecdotally, so many
4:34
Speaker 3: young people, productive people are looking to move to countries
4:38
Speaker 3: like Singapore, US, a lot of moving to Dubai, and
4:42
Speaker 3: it's all because of the tax environment and how welcoming
4:47
Speaker 3: they are to businesses that they make it easy to
4:50
Speaker 3: do business in those countries are unlike here.
4:53
Speaker 4: We've got high regulation and high taxes.
4:56
Speaker 3: Now the former RBA governor now runs the asex's peak
5:00
Speaker 3: governance body, and is said there is no compelling evidence
5:04
Speaker 3: that increasing the target of women on corporate boards to
5:07
Speaker 3: forty percent will actually add value Lois. This follows a
5:12
Speaker 3: push for companies to introduce strict diversity targets and disclose
5:17
Speaker 3: all sorts of data, things like directors' personal characteristics, their sexuality,
5:22
Speaker 3: their heritage, whether they're indigenous, whether they have any disabilities.
5:27
Speaker 3: So to see a pushback of this is unusual in
5:32
Speaker 3: the corporate world these days.
5:33
Speaker 7: Absolutely, it could be the realities finally caught up with
5:36
Speaker 7: corporate virtue civinly as you say, and I mean, the
5:39
Speaker 7: average company and board wants people on their board who
5:43
Speaker 7: are skilled and experienced, and no board member wants to
5:46
Speaker 7: be chosen because of their gender, particularly women. It's a
5:48
Speaker 7: huge insult to think I'm only in this position or
5:51
Speaker 7: in this role because I'm a female, and they needed
5:53
Speaker 7: to get their quotas up. So fantastic the Philip Um
5:56
Speaker 7: has said this that you know, we've got to push
5:59
Speaker 7: back on these crazy gender quotas, which it just seemed
6:01
Speaker 7: to have seeped into so many areas of public and
6:05
Speaker 7: corporate life, and thank goodness, his draw on a line
6:07
Speaker 7: said no, and why put it up to forty percent
6:10
Speaker 7: when there's clearly no evidence to prove that was working
6:13
Speaker 7: and that was a good thing for business. We should
6:15
Speaker 7: be doing everything that is good for business, not penalizing business.
6:21
Speaker 3: Michael, He's going to get all sorts of criticism for
6:23
Speaker 3: this fellow blow because we just had this mantra that
6:27
Speaker 3: diversity is our strength, and that includes on boards of companies.
6:31
Speaker 3: They need to be representative of the population, otherwise they're
6:36
Speaker 3: not going to operate as efficiently as they otherwise would.
6:40
Speaker 4: What's your view of this requirement.
6:43
Speaker 3: To have all this data about directors things like their
6:46
Speaker 3: sexual preference. To me, that's actually very much a backward move.
6:52
Speaker 6: It's invasive. It's an invasion of privacy which these people
6:55
Speaker 6: allegedly stand for, and quote as racial quotas, gender quotas,
7:00
Speaker 6: all of these kinds of things don't look to the
7:02
Speaker 6: actual fact of whether companies are actually performing profitably or
7:07
Speaker 6: performing well. So I'm against quote all these kinds of quotas.
7:12
Speaker 6: It's very important for the corporation's well being that they
7:18
Speaker 6: have an insight into how half of the population are
7:23
Speaker 6: thinking and I'm pleased that thirty percent seems to be working.
7:27
Speaker 6: But you fixed quotas at exactly forty two percent, and
7:32
Speaker 6: thirty percent of all of our board members must be gay.
7:35
Speaker 6: It's all rubbish. Get the companies working, Get Australia working,
7:40
Speaker 6: as it's not at the moment. This fall and living standards,
7:43
Speaker 6: it's catastrophic, along with a two hundred billion dollar debt
7:47
Speaker 6: that is here in Victoria, which all of you Australian
7:50
Speaker 6: taxpayers out there are going to be saddled with soon enough.
7:55
Speaker 4: Now.
7:55
Speaker 3: The Prime Minister had an intimate dinner on Monday night
8:00
Speaker 3: organized by Felix Lee, the son of a Chinese developer.
8:04
Speaker 3: One source toll the Australian Financial Review that Lee had
8:07
Speaker 3: promised to donate around a million.
8:09
Speaker 4: Dollars to the Labor Party.
8:10
Speaker 3: Felix is the son of Philip Lee, who is a
8:13
Speaker 3: Chinese born high roller. He's a reportedly put two point
8:18
Speaker 3: two billion dollars through Sydney's Star Casino over fifteen years.
8:21
Speaker 3: He became a central figure in the twenty twenty two
8:24
Speaker 3: inquiry into the casino Michael.
8:27
Speaker 4: The dis dinner took place in one of.
8:29
Speaker 3: Point Piper's most expensive residences. All very relatable to the
8:35
Speaker 3: average voter during a cost of living crisis.
8:38
Speaker 6: Well, there's a famous Roger Kipling song about on the
8:41
Speaker 6: Road to Mandalay, and on the road to Mandalay Elbow
8:46
Speaker 6: has had to make concessions to all of these kind
8:51
Speaker 6: of people. I wonder where lee father's fortune comes from.
8:55
Speaker 6: That was all flushed through Star Casino. He had to
9:00
Speaker 6: repay two hundred and ninety million dollars to the Australian
9:03
Speaker 6: Tax Office of unpaid taxes. I mean, it's interesting that
9:07
Speaker 6: Dan Andrews is there the whole pro China lobby, and
9:12
Speaker 6: this has a national security aspect to it too, so
9:15
Speaker 6: I'm glad it was flushed out by the Financial Review,
9:19
Speaker 6: even in its gossip column.
9:23
Speaker 3: Now the polls are looking that great for labor ahead
9:26
Speaker 3: of the Victorian election later this year, and Premierson to
9:29
Speaker 3: Allen has again attacked what she calls the One Nation
9:33
Speaker 3: Coalition alliance and the threat they post to diversity and inclusion.
9:38
Speaker 8: Have a listen just recently the comments from the federal
9:43
Speaker 8: president of the Liberal Party saying that multiculturalism is a
9:49
Speaker 8: failed stut the diversity is not our strength.
9:53
Speaker 9: Well, that is a taste of all Victorians would see
9:56
Speaker 9: from a One Nation Liberal national government a message that
10:00
Speaker 9: sense to how strong Victorian community will be very clear, diversity.
10:05
Speaker 4: Is our strength, Louise.
10:08
Speaker 3: One Nation could run that as an advertisement during the
10:12
Speaker 3: election campaign. But how effective is this diversity is our
10:17
Speaker 3: strength messaging from the Victorian premiere.
10:19
Speaker 7: Well it's propaganda, isn't it. It's not a serious argument.
10:22
Speaker 7: I mean, Victorian's are worried about cost living, crime and
10:26
Speaker 7: everything else that's been flourishing under a twelve years of
10:31
Speaker 7: inept labor rule. So with election coming up in November,
10:34
Speaker 7: of course that they don't want to tackle the things
10:36
Speaker 7: that actually voters concerned about, so they've gone down the
10:39
Speaker 7: identity of politics routes conflating multary culturalism and questions about migration,
10:44
Speaker 7: which have been legitimately raised by not only One Nation
10:48
Speaker 7: but also the coalition the Liberal Party as somehow a
10:51
Speaker 7: racist talking points. So yeah, it's easy to move into
10:54
Speaker 7: that space when you don't want to actually address the
10:56
Speaker 7: issues and the messa you've created after twelve years of
10:59
Speaker 7: labor rules. So yeah, absolute propaganda. I'd laugh when I
11:02
Speaker 7: saw that. I thought, absolute joke.
11:04
Speaker 4: Michael.
11:04
Speaker 3: We have a number of polls that show j Justinta
11:07
Speaker 3: Allan is the most unpopular leader in the country. Her
11:11
Speaker 3: poll numbers are diabolical. How long can Labor afford to
11:16
Speaker 3: have her leading them the elections in November? Can you
11:20
Speaker 3: see a change happening?
11:22
Speaker 6: But reader, what would happen to the poor person who
11:25
Speaker 6: took over from it? It'd be like being a suicide pilot.
11:28
Speaker 6: I didn't know that Victorian Labor Party had Kamakazis. I mean,
11:31
Speaker 6: whoever is the leader is going to go down with
11:34
Speaker 6: this huge debt, with this incredible rise in crime, including
11:40
Speaker 6: home invasions, machete fights in suburban shopping centers. Goodness me,
11:46
Speaker 6: Victoria has declined so badly under the socialist left. Dan
11:49
Speaker 6: Andrews is now on the road to Mandalay with albow
11:53
Speaker 6: going to one of the big pro Beijing donors' homes.
11:57
Speaker 6: But the Victorian paying the price back here and his
12:02
Speaker 6: progeny to cinerell and is I think going to lead
12:05
Speaker 6: them in the charge of the Light Brigade into the
12:09
Speaker 6: Valley of Death.
12:11
Speaker 3: Now, the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union has branded the union
12:15
Speaker 3: jack a symbol of oppression and they want to see
12:18
Speaker 3: it removed from the Australian flag. The powerful Union made
12:21
Speaker 3: the demand in a proposed policy ahead of Labour's national
12:24
Speaker 3: conference in Adelaide this week.
12:26
Speaker 4: They argue we need to strip away the.
12:28
Speaker 3: Constant reminders of the old ruling class and colonial empire.
12:33
Speaker 4: Louise I've also argued.
12:34
Speaker 3: Symbols of oppression like the Union jack on our flag
12:38
Speaker 3: and offensive colonial statues must be removed from public life.
12:43
Speaker 4: This is just one of many.
12:46
Speaker 3: Hard left policy proposals being discussed this week in Labour's
12:49
Speaker 3: national conference. This isn't good news for Anthony ALBERNIZI. He
12:54
Speaker 3: wants to present a face to Australia of a modern
12:58
Speaker 3: moderate Party's not one that is just so ideologically warped
13:03
Speaker 3: to be by hard left politics.
13:05
Speaker 10: That's right.
13:05
Speaker 7: And they're absolutely determined to see Australian history through the
13:09
Speaker 7: lens of oppression rather than achievement. And you know, it's
13:12
Speaker 7: good to know, isn't it that sections of the party
13:14
Speaker 7: machine are absolutely focused on changing the flag rather than
13:17
Speaker 7: the issues which affect the party faithful or cost of living.
13:20
Speaker 7: I mean, that doesn't discriminate, that affects everyone. And how
13:23
Speaker 7: would you feel, as a veteran to know that this
13:26
Speaker 7: is what's been discussed by you know the Labor Party
13:30
Speaker 7: that thousands of Australians have died under that flag and
13:34
Speaker 7: they want.
13:35
Speaker 11: To change it.
13:35
Speaker 7: So that's an absolute insult to any veteran or veterans
13:38
Speaker 7: family as well. So I'm troubled by the story on
13:41
Speaker 7: many many areas as well, not the fact that they're
13:44
Speaker 7: always trying to remove us from our British colonial roots.
13:47
Speaker 7: But there are better things to be talking about, and
13:49
Speaker 7: taking the union jack off our flag is definitely not
13:52
Speaker 7: one of them.
13:54
Speaker 4: Not at all.
13:54
Speaker 3: And Michael, I wonder how many workers under the Australian
13:59
Speaker 3: Manifacts Workers' Union feel this way. Is this just the
14:03
Speaker 3: union leadership that is so ideologically captured by the hard
14:08
Speaker 3: left or is this representative of what their members actually think.
14:12
Speaker 6: Unfortunately, there aren't that many workers left in any manufacturing
14:17
Speaker 6: workers union at the moment, but I suspect a lot
14:19
Speaker 6: of particularly British working class people in West Australia for instance,
14:24
Speaker 6: would be furious at this prospect. This is another symptom
14:29
Speaker 6: of what you describe reader the hard left controlling the conference.
14:34
Speaker 6: This is back to the nineteen fifties. It's the socialist
14:37
Speaker 6: left are in firm control in foreign policy, in economic policy,
14:42
Speaker 6: and in idiotic cultural maneuvers like this. So it's a
14:48
Speaker 6: sad day for labor. But unfortunately, because of the preferential
14:53
Speaker 6: voting system and the incredible result at the last election,
14:57
Speaker 6: albow and his gang feel very proud of themselves and
15:01
Speaker 6: they're not going to shift.
15:04
Speaker 3: Yes, they must be feeling very emboldened right now, Michael
15:07
Speaker 3: dan By Lloyds Roberts, thank you so much for your time.
15:11
Speaker 4: Now.
15:11
Speaker 3: We spoke yesterday about climate change Minister Chris Bowen and
15:14
Speaker 3: his team paying up to four point two million dollars
15:17
Speaker 3: for bureaucrats to stay at luxury resorts in Fiji as
15:21
Speaker 3: part of his co president mission. But Pacific Island Affairs
15:25
Speaker 3: Minister Pat Conroy has described this story as a beat up.
15:30
Speaker 12: Most of the cost will be recovered from foreign leaders
15:33
Speaker 12: and their delegations coming to those hotels and paying for
15:36
Speaker 12: their rooms. We've just reserved them, as you do when
15:38
Speaker 12: you organize these conferences.
15:40
Speaker 3: Joining me now for more on these is a esteemed
15:43
Speaker 3: geologist and author and executive director at Hancock Energy, professor
15:48
Speaker 3: Ian plymer Ian. What is not in doubt is that
15:52
Speaker 3: Australian taxpayers will pay around one hundred and fifty million
15:56
Speaker 3: dollars on Chris Bowen's little side role as President Sident
16:00
Speaker 3: of negotiations at COP thirty one.
16:03
Speaker 11: Well, I'm at a loss to understand why we still
16:06
Speaker 11: have COP meetings. The climate hasn't been changed by governments
16:11
Speaker 11: going on jaunts to luxury resorts.
16:14
Speaker 2: Why do we keep having them.
16:16
Speaker 11: They've achieved nothing, they've done nothing, and people keep having.
16:19
Speaker 2: These jaunts at our expense.
16:21
Speaker 11: So I think it's time for the taxpayer to say it,
16:23
Speaker 11: no enough, get your nose out of the trough, get
16:27
Speaker 11: your snout out of the trough and go and do
16:29
Speaker 11: something useful like create employment, rather than going on jaunts
16:33
Speaker 11: to luxury resorts around the world and spending our money.
16:37
Speaker 11: If you really have to have a COP meeting, have
16:39
Speaker 11: it somewhere where a climate change would help you. Why
16:42
Speaker 11: not have one in Antarctica?
16:45
Speaker 4: Well, why not have it via zoom?
16:47
Speaker 3: If you're obsessed about emissions, why are we flying hundreds
16:53
Speaker 3: of people around the world, staying at luxury resorts, flying
16:57
Speaker 3: on the point end of planes.
16:59
Speaker 4: It just makes zero sense.
17:01
Speaker 2: Now.
17:01
Speaker 3: Industry modeling obtained by The Australian newspaper has revealed royalties
17:06
Speaker 3: and company tax takes are estimated to plummet from seventy
17:10
Speaker 3: three point eight billion dollars in twenty twenty three to
17:13
Speaker 3: forty eight point nine billion in twenty twenty five. Treasure
17:17
Speaker 3: Jim Chalmers has refused to rule out future tax increases
17:21
Speaker 3: on the gas sector. Labour's draft national platform includes a
17:25
Speaker 3: section focused on a fairer tax system being applied to
17:29
Speaker 3: Australia's natural resources in what will that look like?
17:34
Speaker 4: Do you think?
17:35
Speaker 3: And why have royalties and company tax rates plummeted so much?
17:40
Speaker 2: Well, it looks an appolut desas takes.
17:43
Speaker 11: It looks an absolute disaster which was inevitable because the
17:48
Speaker 11: government absolutely hates the resources industry. They want to tax
17:52
Speaker 11: them out of existance. Yet they depend upon the resources
17:55
Speaker 11: industry to go on their jaunts and to survive. Now
17:59
Speaker 11: the resources industry can move, and they are moving too,
18:03
Speaker 11: other countries, to other jurisdictions where there are not the
18:06
Speaker 11: union problems that slow down production, where not the governments
18:11
Speaker 11: constantly attacking, where they don't have to spend twenty years
18:15
Speaker 11: going through approvals for black tape and green tape and
18:18
Speaker 11: red tape and the UN's blue tape. There are much
18:22
Speaker 11: better places now to go mining than in Australia. This
18:25
Speaker 11: has been happening for quite a long period of time.
18:28
Speaker 11: The government is very active in attacking the mining and
18:31
Speaker 11: resources industry. And it's no surprise that the royalties have
18:35
Speaker 11: gone down because people are going elsewhere.
18:38
Speaker 2: And secondly, the costs have gone up.
18:41
Speaker 11: The costs of doing business in Australia aren't getting very
18:43
Speaker 11: very high, not only the un costs, all sorts of
18:46
Speaker 11: other costs. And this is something the government never thinks about.
18:51
Speaker 11: They don't cut costs. The mining companies are always cutting
18:54
Speaker 11: costs to be able to stay viable in a very
18:57
Speaker 11: very aggressively competitive international endustry.
19:00
Speaker 2: So the government has reaped what it.
19:03
Speaker 4: Says professor before you go.
19:05
Speaker 3: Australia's largest electricity generator, AGL Energy is said the threat
19:10
Speaker 3: of government intervention in the gas market has already triggered
19:13
Speaker 3: a market revolt. Labour's signature Gas policy would mandate twenty
19:19
Speaker 3: percent of all L and G exports to be supplied
19:22
Speaker 3: to domestic users from July twenty twenty seven onwards, and
19:27
Speaker 3: I industry experts have expressed concern it could trigger domestic
19:31
Speaker 3: producers to abandon developing new projects and inflate costs in
19:36
Speaker 3: the long term.
19:38
Speaker 2: Well, we said this on this program a few weeks ago.
19:41
Speaker 11: We said that it's going to actually decrease the amount
19:44
Speaker 11: of expiation. There will be fuel wells put in there
19:47
Speaker 11: because of the uncertainty, there will be less gas coming
19:50
Speaker 11: into the pipelines. Now, some states have got their domestic
19:55
Speaker 11: policies right. For example, in Queensland, for many new tenements,
19:59
Speaker 11: if you are to find gas, that gas is to
20:01
Speaker 11: go into the domestic pipelines and not to be exported.
20:05
Speaker 11: So we already have gas reservation. We already have a
20:08
Speaker 11: situation where we cannot get enough gas from Queensland to Victoria.
20:13
Speaker 11: This has got nothing to do with the companies, is
20:15
Speaker 11: to do with the size of the pipeline. And we
20:17
Speaker 11: have major unions and the Labor Party is very much
20:21
Speaker 11: depended upon support from the unions, and we have major unions.
20:24
Speaker 11: One of the proper industries which are now finding energy
20:28
Speaker 11: is very expensive and so what they're doing is that
20:31
Speaker 11: they're attacking another industry, and that's the gas industry, such
20:36
Speaker 11: that they can more gas can come into the heavy
20:38
Speaker 11: industries that employ a lot of unionists. So once you
20:41
Speaker 11: start interfering in the market, especially interference by people in
20:45
Speaker 11: canber who have never ever worked in the real world
20:48
Speaker 11: and have no idea how a quid is made. Then
20:51
Speaker 11: the inevitable happens, and it has happened. We will have
20:54
Speaker 11: shortages as a gas because of the gas reservation policy,
20:58
Speaker 11: not the opposite which we're being told by the government.
21:02
Speaker 3: Why are we even considering bringing gas from Queensland to Victoria.
21:07
Speaker 3: Doesn't Victoria sit on hundreds of years of gas reserves.
21:11
Speaker 11: Victoria's kicked it own goal. No one is going to
21:15
Speaker 11: be exploiting the gas. What you know about from Gippsland
21:19
Speaker 11: on shore? Gippsland in the Wombat field is there. I've
21:22
Speaker 11: seen it flared. There's plenty of gas in the way
21:25
Speaker 11: basin on shore. However, to get out that last bit
21:28
Speaker 11: of gas you sometimes need fracking, which is constitutionally not
21:32
Speaker 11: possible in Victoria. And the risks are so high in
21:36
Speaker 11: Victoria that you wouldn't bother spending the money drilling a well.
21:40
Speaker 11: Because governments, and this is governments of all colors, have
21:43
Speaker 11: actually squibbed on providing assistance such as a legislative assistance
21:49
Speaker 11: to companies to duel for gas. Now, Victoria was established
21:53
Speaker 11: with gas for domestic purposes. There was a huge amount
21:56
Speaker 11: of gas that came out of Bastrait that's now getting
21:58
Speaker 11: to the end of its life, and it's not doing
22:00
Speaker 11: the sensible thing. If you use a pedatule of gas,
22:04
Speaker 11: you must replace it with a pedatule of gas.
22:06
Speaker 2: Victoria hasn't done that.
22:07
Speaker 11: And I don't see why Queensland should be penalized because
22:11
Speaker 11: Victoria has been really stupid in its energy policy. And
22:14
Speaker 11: this is what the gas reservation policy is trying to do.
22:18
Speaker 11: It's trying to save Victoria for Matown's stupidity.
22:22
Speaker 3: I don't know if Victoria can be saved, Professor, Professor
22:25
Speaker 3: and Plymath, thank you so much for your time tonight.
22:28
Speaker 4: Good Night, Still to Karma.
22:30
Speaker 3: Left is Losing and pass all the latest from the US,
22:34
Speaker 3: including Stephen Miller's warning about the threat of left wing
22:38
Speaker 3: terrorism in America. Kelly Jane Torrance is up next watching
22:53
Speaker 3: The Reader Paney Show, and it's time for lefties losing it.
22:58
Speaker 3: Let's check in with New York City is socialist Maizar
23:01
Speaker 3: and Ma'm Danny, who, after months of political posturing, has
23:05
Speaker 3: finally admitted he can't actually arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahoo,
23:11
Speaker 3: but he has caught on President Trump to arrest him.
23:14
Speaker 5: Instead, he belongs before a court of law. As I've said,
23:19
Speaker 5: I agree with the ICC the Benjamin Netanya, who should
23:22
Speaker 5: be arrested and tried for his crimes, as I do
23:26
Speaker 5: for anyone else charged by the ICC. My administration has
23:29
Speaker 5: reviewed every avenue available under applicable law to determine whether
23:34
Speaker 5: New York City could execute the International Criminal Court's arrest
23:37
Speaker 5: warrant if Benjamin Netanya, who came here. It is clear
23:40
Speaker 5: that we do not have the independent legal authority to
23:43
Speaker 5: enforce this warrant. The federal government, however, does and I
23:47
Speaker 5: call on them to join the ICC and execute this warrant.
23:50
Speaker 5: And I want to be equally clear Benjamin Netanya, who
23:53
Speaker 5: is not welcome in New York City, nor is any
23:55
Speaker 5: other war criminal at large.
23:57
Speaker 3: Now. One of the growing band of indom stars to
24:01
Speaker 3: declare themselves a socialist is John Legizano, one of the
24:05
Speaker 3: stars of the Odyssey, a man who earns millions per film,
24:09
Speaker 3: lives in a twelve million dollar property. But here he
24:13
Speaker 3: is last year declaring that he is a socialist. He
24:16
Speaker 3: then goes on to list a bunch of things public
24:19
Speaker 3: services that are not actually socialists to justify his support
24:24
Speaker 3: of a doctrine steeped in failure and misery.
24:28
Speaker 11: Socialism programs are important, like the post office, like the
24:32
Speaker 11: police department, like the fire department, like your social security,
24:36
Speaker 11: like public education.
24:37
Speaker 2: These are socialist programs. It's not. You know, I'm a democrat,
24:41
Speaker 2: socialist democrat. So yeah, so yeah, yeah, first time I
24:46
Speaker 2: hear that from you. Yeah.
24:49
Speaker 4: Gosh.
24:50
Speaker 3: These actors are thick and completely ignorant of history, because
24:54
Speaker 3: no doctrine has caused more human misery around the world
24:57
Speaker 3: than socialism, Marxism, communism, whatever you want.
25:01
Speaker 4: To call it.
25:02
Speaker 3: Let's go to a country that embraced socialism voted for it.
25:05
Speaker 3: In fact, Nicaragua voted in socialist leader in two thousand
25:10
Speaker 3: and six, and now that leader has declared that, well,
25:13
Speaker 3: elections are over. Yes, Daniel or Taga has decided that
25:19
Speaker 3: no more elections will take place in his country because
25:22
Speaker 3: he doesn't want the non socialist opposition to win. That's
25:26
Speaker 3: how socialism works in the long run, folks. Now lefties
25:30
Speaker 3: have raised around five thousand dollars for a violent loser,
25:35
Speaker 3: Caitlin Tracy, who was detained by ice that saw her
25:39
Speaker 3: husband Matthew Jeroni post this tearful video.
25:43
Speaker 1: My wife is being detained by Ice.
25:47
Speaker 13: She's in Ocean County jail right now, and I can't
25:49
Speaker 13: get a hold of her.
25:50
Speaker 1: I need help. I need you to figure out. I
25:54
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. This just happened.
25:56
Speaker 13: My wife is a Canadian citizen and I'm an American citizen.
25:59
Speaker 13: We've been married for little over three years, and I'm
26:01
Speaker 13: just doing anything I can to get her story heard
26:05
Speaker 13: and bring any help to an attention to her situation
26:09
Speaker 13: so that I can get her released, even if that
26:12
Speaker 13: means back to Canada. I don't care what your opinions
26:15
Speaker 13: are of me or the situation. That's kind of irrelevant.
26:20
Speaker 3: No, the situation is very much relevant because your fair
26:25
Speaker 3: a wife was not only in America illegally, she was
26:28
Speaker 3: guilty of assaulting a teenager in New Jersey earlier this
26:32
Speaker 3: month because the teen was wearing pro America, pro Trump clothing.
26:38
Speaker 4: Here is footage of that assault. Deplorable.
26:47
Speaker 3: The snow Mexicans are out of control. If you ask me,
26:51
Speaker 3: she should have been deported for this.
27:00
Speaker 14: Now.
27:01
Speaker 3: People has since emerged that this a couple are the
27:13
Speaker 3: personification of everything wrong with the radical left. The are talentless,
27:19
Speaker 3: entitled agitators who celebrated the death of Charlie Kirk. Indeed,
27:24
Speaker 3: Matthew Jerni, the husband here, has wished for the deaths
27:28
Speaker 3: of Trump, even wishing that Trump's children and grandchildren would
27:32
Speaker 3: be struck down with cancer.
27:35
Speaker 4: This dude is gross, because I gotta have.
27:42
Speaker 2: He's gonna die, right, He's going to turn Oh.
27:45
Speaker 1: He's so sick. He's been in the arsenal so many.
27:48
Speaker 4: Guy, he's got it.
27:50
Speaker 13: I'm telling you, man, I'm putting my money out at
27:51
Speaker 13: this time.
27:52
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, President Trump has been diagnosed with a chronic condition
27:55
Speaker 3: affecting the vans in his legs. Photos of the president's
27:58
Speaker 3: swollen ankles and bruce have gained a lot of attention
28:01
Speaker 3: on social media. Now, the Trump children and Senior Trump
28:04
Speaker 3: advises Steven Miller better watch out because the Soy boys
28:08
Speaker 3: are at to get them.
28:09
Speaker 4: Here is Harry Sissy and Don Lemon.
28:12
Speaker 15: And I've suggested to people before and interviews. I'm like,
28:15
Speaker 15: I want to fight them. I think, like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
28:19
Speaker 15: Like if Steven Miller would agree, or one of the
28:22
Speaker 15: Trump children, or like anybody in the administration, I want
28:24
Speaker 15: to fight them.
28:25
Speaker 16: I do you know what that I would go paid
28:28
Speaker 16: to see on the White House lot.
28:29
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying in the UFC.
28:31
Speaker 15: Why are we doing the UFC event? Why don't we
28:32
Speaker 15: just settle some political beef. I'll take anybody in the
28:35
Speaker 15: white IBox for four years, and if they want to,
28:38
Speaker 15: I'd get back into training camp, get in the best
28:40
Speaker 15: shape of my life and go fight one of them.
28:42
Speaker 1: I would do it too.
28:43
Speaker 15: Yeah, That's why I feel like there's so many people
28:45
Speaker 15: that would do it.
28:46
Speaker 3: Joining me now is the Washington Star editor Kelly Jane
28:50
Speaker 3: torrens Kelly, I thought we'd start with something just amusing.
28:54
Speaker 3: I don't think Stephen Miller or Don Junior have anything
28:57
Speaker 3: to worry about there.
29:00
Speaker 17: Let's face it, Rita, I don't think Susie Wilds has
29:03
Speaker 17: anything to worry about. I think she could take them
29:05
Speaker 17: on boat. I mean, Don Lennon's Lemon's gonna go fight somebody.
29:11
Speaker 17: Uh No, I mean, you know, and again it's it's
29:13
Speaker 17: kind of hilarious. I mean it's amusing, as you say, Uh,
29:17
Speaker 17: where are the arguments against any of the policies. No,
29:20
Speaker 17: they just want to hash it out over a fight. Okay,
29:24
Speaker 17: he boxed for you know, four years, Okay, well, I
29:26
Speaker 17: kickbox when I was, you know, in my twenties. Let
29:29
Speaker 17: you know, let's let's do this. Uh. It's it's ridiculous,
29:32
Speaker 17: but it goes to show you how little substance there
29:35
Speaker 17: are these you know, these influencers as they call them.
29:39
Speaker 17: They're all about style, if you can call it that,
29:42
Speaker 17: and no substance. And this is a perfect example. And
29:45
Speaker 17: it's a perfect uh, you know, good laugh. To go
29:48
Speaker 17: into the weekend with Kelly.
29:50
Speaker 3: Steven Miller spoke recently about the threat of left wing
29:54
Speaker 3: terrorism in America and in the West more generally.
29:57
Speaker 4: Let's have a listen.
29:58
Speaker 18: Here in the United States, we have taken the necessary
30:01
Speaker 18: and essential action of formally recognizing left wing violence as
30:07
Speaker 18: a form of political terrorism that is a direct threat
30:11
Speaker 18: to our national security and the survival of our republican
30:15
Speaker 18: form of government. It's very important to understand that left
30:19
Speaker 18: wing political terrorism seeks as its ultimate end, the overthrow
30:24
Speaker 18: of our system and form of government. And we've seen
30:27
Speaker 18: this has taken place many times in many places throughout
30:30
Speaker 18: the years, and Secretary Buls provided you many examples. Left
30:35
Speaker 18: wing terrorism always ends in bloodshed, misery, and suffering.
30:42
Speaker 4: Kelly, what did you make of that space.
30:44
Speaker 3: Marco Ruba has also spoken recently about the modern lefts
30:48
Speaker 3: appetite for violence.
30:50
Speaker 17: I have to say, you know, Stephen Miller, a controversial
30:53
Speaker 17: figure here in America, of course, but wow, did he
30:56
Speaker 17: ever get it right? And so well said, you know,
31:00
Speaker 17: using few words, he really captured the whole problem. And again,
31:04
Speaker 17: you know, we have a Democratic Socialist of America resurgence
31:08
Speaker 17: now here in America, here in New York where I live,
31:11
Speaker 17: and across the country. And he got it right. If
31:14
Speaker 17: you look at what their platforms say, if you look
31:17
Speaker 17: at what their candidates, often the candidates who are running
31:20
Speaker 17: this November say they want to get rid of the
31:23
Speaker 17: form of government that we've had in America for again
31:27
Speaker 17: two hundred and fifty years, which were celebrating right now.
31:30
Speaker 17: They want to defund the police, they want to get
31:33
Speaker 17: rid of immigration enforcement. They want to get rid of
31:37
Speaker 17: the very things that make America really it is the
31:41
Speaker 17: greatest country that's been because it's based on these ideals
31:44
Speaker 17: of self government and republicanism. And they don't want that.
31:48
Speaker 17: They don't want self government, they don't want republican government.
31:51
Speaker 17: They want rule by experts, by which they mean themselves.
31:55
Speaker 17: And I think we've seen just you know, in the
31:57
Speaker 17: last you know, half year, what that is like having
32:01
Speaker 17: zoron mun darning as here of New York City.
32:05
Speaker 3: Kelly, It's been revealed that Bill Gates and senior leaders
32:08
Speaker 3: of his charitable foundation received multiple warnings from staff about
32:13
Speaker 3: the risks of working with convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
32:18
Speaker 3: This is according to the findings of an external review, Kelly.
32:23
Speaker 3: Why would a multi billionaire need a character like Epstein
32:29
Speaker 3: to raise money for global health?
32:32
Speaker 17: It's a great question, Rita, and I think it's one
32:35
Speaker 17: a lot of people should be asking. Obviously, his wife
32:39
Speaker 17: Melinda asked it already and divorced him because of the relationship.
32:43
Speaker 17: But yeah, it's you know, Bill Gates, is he and
32:46
Speaker 17: you know it used to be the Bill and Melinda
32:48
Speaker 17: Gates foundation spent a lot of money on global charity.
32:53
Speaker 17: Not only is in the best way, of course, but yeah,
32:55
Speaker 17: he doesn't need Jeffrey to make a lot of money.
32:59
Speaker 17: But again, you know, you listen, you look at read
33:03
Speaker 17: some of the emails. It sounds like a lot of
33:05
Speaker 17: locker room talk, and apparently that's one of the things
33:09
Speaker 17: that seems to have gotten Bill Gates interested you know,
33:13
Speaker 17: Bill and him talked about Russian girls. We've seen an emails.
33:16
Speaker 17: Of course, Bill denied he had relationships, but the emails
33:20
Speaker 17: are there for all to see. And it is pretty bizarre.
33:23
Speaker 17: This guy. He was able to bring some money into things,
33:26
Speaker 17: but it really does seem it was more of the
33:28
Speaker 17: personal relationships a lot of these men had and just troubling.
33:33
Speaker 17: And you know, again for someone of Bill gates stature
33:36
Speaker 17: to fall for this and to you know, be so
33:39
Speaker 17: friendly with him after he was convicted, by the way,
33:43
Speaker 17: it's just it's just unreal.
33:46
Speaker 4: It really is.
33:47
Speaker 3: And his former wife, Melinda Gates said that was a
33:51
Speaker 3: key reason for her starting divorce proceedings against him. That
33:56
Speaker 3: ongoing relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Now let's talk about Secretary
34:01
Speaker 3: of warpete Hegsad. He answered questions at a Senate hearing
34:05
Speaker 3: earlier today on the ongoing war against Iran, but he
34:08
Speaker 3: was interrupted repeatedly by activists.
34:14
Speaker 16: The supplemental funding request is not a substitute one point
34:19
Speaker 16: five trillion, hard Donegal.
34:27
Speaker 3: But when he was allowed to speak, he provided details
34:31
Speaker 3: on the cost of the war thus far. It's estimated
34:34
Speaker 3: at around thirty seven billion US, and he spoke about
34:38
Speaker 3: the impact of the US blockade.
34:41
Speaker 16: Our blockade has been reimposed and is effectively impenetrable. We
34:46
Speaker 16: mount we got seized a ship inside the Arabian Golf
34:50
Speaker 16: as well. So there's a lot of different angles to it,
34:53
Speaker 16: a lot of levers we can pull, and ultimately a
34:56
Speaker 16: lot of it strikes that Admiral Cooper and Sentcam have
34:58
Speaker 16: been undertaking are taking Iron's ability to see and sense
35:02
Speaker 16: away in the straight of horror moves, which has tactical
35:05
Speaker 16: benefits for US.
35:06
Speaker 3: Kelly Ji and this is the million dollar, billion dollar question,
35:10
Speaker 3: how is the administration planning to exit this conflict?
35:15
Speaker 17: Well, first, read, I have to say I love that
35:17
Speaker 17: he just slipped in the Arabian Golf there rather than
35:20
Speaker 17: calling it the Persian Gulf. You know, I prefer that
35:24
Speaker 17: rename and really anything he's done in the renaming section.
35:28
Speaker 17: But yeah, no, that's a great question, readA. And it's
35:30
Speaker 17: been it's been the billion dollar questions since the beginning.
35:33
Speaker 17: And I do think the Trump administration maybe you know,
35:38
Speaker 17: thought it could get out a lot easier from this
35:41
Speaker 17: than it has been able to. But to me, it's
35:44
Speaker 17: very clear what it needs to do is to take
35:46
Speaker 17: out the leadership of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp. The IRGC. Now,
35:52
Speaker 17: remember the first day of Operation Epic Fury, the United
35:58
Speaker 17: States took out the Supreme lead of Iran. It was critical.
36:02
Speaker 17: And you know, even though a lot of the Iranians
36:05
Speaker 17: here in America, I know, we're a little nervous about
36:08
Speaker 17: you know, bombs in Iran, you know, they still have
36:11
Speaker 17: family there, they overwhelmingly, to a person, unanimously celebrated that
36:16
Speaker 17: the fact that the Supreme leader, this guy who has
36:19
Speaker 17: been really the one who's who's led the murders of
36:22
Speaker 17: tens of thousands of people, you know, for you know,
36:26
Speaker 17: almost forty years now, they were so happy, actually sorry,
36:30
Speaker 17: almost fifty years now. They were so happy to see
36:32
Speaker 17: him gone. Well, we need to take out the rest
36:35
Speaker 17: of this regime. Right now, it seems very clear the
36:37
Speaker 17: IRGC is running things supposedly when I'm committing sons as
36:42
Speaker 17: a Supreme leader, no one's ever actually seen him since
36:45
Speaker 17: this war begin. He needs to take out the top
36:49
Speaker 17: of the regime because those are the people that are
36:52
Speaker 17: really making the big decisions, that are saying, hey, take
36:55
Speaker 17: out these commercial ships, go off these commercial ships, and
36:58
Speaker 17: do you know, and again once he once Iran, you
37:01
Speaker 17: murdered those Americans on the Jordan base, it really became
37:06
Speaker 17: a whole new war. And I hope the Trump administration
37:09
Speaker 17: takes that seriously and you know, follows through and you know,
37:12
Speaker 17: don't just bomb a few, you know, symbolic things. Let's
37:16
Speaker 17: really stop this regime from killing any more Americans, which
37:21
Speaker 17: would also keep it from killing more people throughout the
37:23
Speaker 17: Middle East and in Iran itself.
37:27
Speaker 3: Well, the regime change is a tall order, particularly in
37:32
Speaker 3: a country like Iran. We don't even really know who's
37:35
Speaker 3: leading that country right now. You mentioned the Iatola's son,
37:39
Speaker 3: the new supreme leader is we've seen a cardboard cutout
37:42
Speaker 3: of him. So far, we haven't actually got really a
37:45
Speaker 3: confirmation that has survived the initial bombing raids. So yeah,
37:50
Speaker 3: it is a fractured regime, but sadly, it's a radical
37:55
Speaker 3: Islamist regime and they're going to keep fighting now. Penegsat
37:59
Speaker 3: was quick to counter criticism of the Trump administration. There's
38:04
Speaker 3: a lot of talk that President Trump has broken an
38:07
Speaker 3: election promise by starting this war.
38:10
Speaker 16: President Trump said, We're not fighting stupid wars like that again,
38:13
Speaker 16: and he hasn't. That's why we haven't been trying to
38:15
Speaker 16: remake Iranian society. But simply, any realist America first way
38:19
Speaker 16: is sure they never have a path to a nuclear bomb,
38:22
Speaker 16: full stop. And he has said as a candidate, and
38:25
Speaker 16: he said for as a private citizen, Iran can never
38:28
Speaker 16: have a nuclear weapon because radical Islamis with nuclear weapon
38:30
Speaker 16: will wield it over.
38:31
Speaker 2: Our head in perpetuity.
38:33
Speaker 16: So President Trump ran on fighting wars differently, and we're
38:36
Speaker 16: doing so overwhelmingly. And he was very clear as a
38:39
Speaker 16: candidate that Iran can never have a nuclear capability.
38:42
Speaker 4: How much is this.
38:43
Speaker 3: War with Iran going to hurt the GOP in the midterms,
38:48
Speaker 3: even if they exit that war before the midterms in November,
38:55
Speaker 3: you would think there would be some lasting impact because
38:58
Speaker 3: no matter how righteous this war may, it is not
39:01
Speaker 3: popular domestically, is it.
39:04
Speaker 17: Well, it's been a bit mixed domestically, but yes, Rita,
39:06
Speaker 17: it's it's not the most popular war. But I think
39:09
Speaker 17: that you know, the most important thing. And again, often
39:13
Speaker 17: Americans vote on their pocketbooks. So of course President Trump
39:18
Speaker 17: has really sought to reopen the hormus straight. He wants
39:22
Speaker 17: to get oil prices down because Americans are hurting, especially
39:26
Speaker 17: in the summer of course that's when you know a
39:28
Speaker 17: lot of Americans, their kids are to school, they go
39:30
Speaker 17: on road trips, they go on vacation. That's when they're
39:33
Speaker 17: especially feeling the pain at the pumps. So you know,
39:36
Speaker 17: President Trump certainly is in this staff want to you know,
39:41
Speaker 17: see that straight open sea. Because of course oil is
39:43
Speaker 17: a commodity, so global prices affect us here in America,
39:47
Speaker 17: even though America oil isn't affected. So he wants to
39:50
Speaker 17: get those down now. If he can do that and
39:52
Speaker 17: keep that up by November, I think the pain in
39:56
Speaker 17: the midterms will be a bit less. Yes, people you
39:59
Speaker 17: know well might remember that, hey, this seed went into Iran.
40:03
Speaker 17: It wasn't the most successful thing he you know, he
40:06
Speaker 17: killed the Supreme leader, but then didn't get out immediately.
40:09
Speaker 17: But I think if he can you know, get the
40:12
Speaker 17: pain down at the pump and you know, do something
40:15
Speaker 17: where again, if we're seeing more Americans killed, you know,
40:18
Speaker 17: coming up into November, that's going to be a real problem.
40:21
Speaker 17: And so he's going to have to figure out how
40:23
Speaker 17: to deal with that and keep Iran from striking back
40:27
Speaker 17: so badly at American troops in the region. It's going
40:30
Speaker 17: to be a tough one. readA but I think it's possible,
40:33
Speaker 17: but it's going to definitely take a lot of work,
40:36
Speaker 17: both from the Secretary of State and of course the
40:40
Speaker 17: Secretary of War.
40:42
Speaker 3: Kelly Kane Torrance, thank you so much for your time tonight.
40:45
Speaker 4: Thank you, Riata was pleasure coming up.
40:47
Speaker 3: Democrat Jasmine Crockett's embarrassing rice fighting commentry about the World Cup.
40:54
Speaker 4: Alex Stein is next. Welcome back.
41:08
Speaker 3: Now the World Cup maybe over a Democrat congress Woman
41:11
Speaker 3: Jasmine Crockett is determined to use the event to rice
41:15
Speaker 3: bite once more. Listen to this incoherent nonsense.
41:19
Speaker 10: World Cup that captured the imaginations of the entire world
41:23
Speaker 10: when they saw all of these people of color that
41:26
Speaker 10: was planned for all these teams, and ultimately, if you
41:28
Speaker 10: recall the last two teams, it was Argentina and Spain,
41:33
Speaker 10: and it seemed like the vast majority of the world
41:36
Speaker 10: was rooting for Argentina or actually against Argentina, right, And
41:42
Speaker 10: why was that? Just give me an explanation if you
41:45
Speaker 10: could guess, if you'll just let them finish the answer.
41:48
Speaker 2: Spain of the best team.
41:49
Speaker 11: Maybe that's why they were rooting for them.
41:52
Speaker 10: There's also a racist history that.
41:54
Speaker 19: Is why are you recognized just.
41:57
Speaker 3: Incoherent giperation, you see, really suggesting that the world was
42:02
Speaker 3: supporting Spain because they have more black players. Joining me
42:06
Speaker 3: now is comedian and host of After Hours with Alex Stared. Alex,
42:11
Speaker 3: what point was she trying to make? You're both Texans.
42:14
Speaker 4: Maybe you understand her bitter than I do.
42:16
Speaker 3: But is she suggesting that Spain is more popular because
42:21
Speaker 3: of the number of black players they have?
42:24
Speaker 19: You know, I don't know what she was trying to insinuate,
42:27
Speaker 19: and I'm not even sure that she knew what she
42:29
Speaker 19: was trying to insinuate because she got so confused. And
42:32
Speaker 19: one thing I will say when it comes to Jasmine Crockett,
42:35
Speaker 19: I'm actually sad that she's about to be out of
42:37
Speaker 19: office in January because we'll be out of you know,
42:41
Speaker 19: dumb takes like that. What are we going to play
42:43
Speaker 19: on the show anymore, Rita, Because when you have a
42:45
Speaker 19: congresswoman that doesn't even understand the end point that she's
42:48
Speaker 19: trying to make, I mean, it's just comedy.
42:50
Speaker 3: Gold I tell you, I will miss her as I
42:54
Speaker 3: will miss some other radical leftists that are going to
42:58
Speaker 3: be departing at the scene. But before we go on,
43:02
Speaker 3: can I hear meowing in the background.
43:04
Speaker 4: What is happening?
43:05
Speaker 1: You can you can't, Yes, you can hear me owing?
43:09
Speaker 19: My beautiful girlfriend deciding to play with my cat while
43:12
Speaker 19: I'm on the air.
43:13
Speaker 1: We really appreciate that. Thank you.
43:16
Speaker 19: That is one of my cats, Valentine, who is acting crazy?
43:18
Speaker 1: But yes, it's the cats.
43:22
Speaker 3: The cat was meowing, not your girlfriend. Isn't some sort
43:25
Speaker 3: of a furry or anything like that. I just want
43:28
Speaker 3: to stablishing no, what we're dealing.
43:30
Speaker 1: Well, we can establish that. No, I'm not guilty of that,
43:33
Speaker 1: and I'm not dating a furry. She is a human being, thankfully.
43:36
Speaker 19: She may be a robot actually, but other than that,
43:39
Speaker 19: she's either a robot or human being at the moment.
43:43
Speaker 4: Now to her son.
43:44
Speaker 3: Piker played his comments last night, praising Maw, a dictator
43:50
Speaker 3: responsible for up to eighty million debts. Now Hassan has
43:54
Speaker 3: been called out by a Chinese dissident, Lily Tang Williams,
43:59
Speaker 3: who posted this video.
44:00
Speaker 14: He started his Greatly Full Work campaign in the fifties
44:04
Speaker 14: and killed a two mini landlord owners, forty many into
44:08
Speaker 14: sixty mini people as the minute, starving to death. The
44:13
Speaker 14: people were treating their children's dead bodies to eat to survive.
44:17
Speaker 3: I wonder does his son care about that, Does it
44:20
Speaker 3: care about the human suffering, the gross human rights abuses,
44:25
Speaker 3: the mass slaughter, or does he just care that he
44:29
Speaker 3: gets coverage that he has become a hugely influential figure
44:34
Speaker 3: in left wing politics by putting forward these crazy takes.
44:40
Speaker 19: Well, if I'm being honest, it's fifty to fifty, because
44:43
Speaker 19: you know, he has supported a lot of candidates, and
44:46
Speaker 19: I cannot believe I'm saying this. He's had a little
44:48
Speaker 19: bit of success in the candidates that he has supported
44:51
Speaker 19: because you look at people like Mom Donnie, and you
44:53
Speaker 19: just kind of look at this new democratic socialist movement
44:56
Speaker 19: that's happening in the United States. So I think a
44:58
Speaker 19: lot of it is to be extreme, even get cliques.
45:00
Speaker 19: But at the same time, I think he's doing it
45:02
Speaker 19: because he means it and he really does want to
45:05
Speaker 19: truly live in a socialist universe.
45:09
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if he does want to live
45:11
Speaker 3: in a socialist universe, because he lives in a multimillion
45:14
Speaker 3: dollar property. His income level is at a level that
45:18
Speaker 3: most people could only imagine. So perhaps he wants everyone
45:22
Speaker 3: else to live in a socialist community. But he's going
45:26
Speaker 3: to be more equal than others.
45:29
Speaker 1: Yes, it's like animal farm. He does.
45:31
Speaker 19: He wants socialism, but he wants to be at the
45:33
Speaker 19: top of the heap, so you are right. He doesn't
45:35
Speaker 19: want true socialism, but he at least pretends to larp
45:39
Speaker 19: that he wants socialism.
45:40
Speaker 1: And you're right.
45:41
Speaker 19: He wears outfits that are ten to twenty thousand dollars,
45:44
Speaker 19: so obviously he's not a real socialist.
45:47
Speaker 4: Now, this is some good news.
45:49
Speaker 3: The WTA, the Women's Tennis Association, is introducing mandatory gene
45:55
Speaker 3: testing for all players, effective immediately.
45:57
Speaker 4: This will be a.
45:58
Speaker 3: Requirement to compete at the twenty twenty eight Olympics in
46:02
Speaker 3: La alex The WTA updated it's women's eligibility policy to
46:07
Speaker 3: include gender screening based on biological sex, not on feelings
46:13
Speaker 3: on biological sex, to preserve the integrity of women's professional
46:17
Speaker 3: tennis and maintain fair competition conditions for all players.
46:23
Speaker 4: Bravo is all I can say.
46:26
Speaker 19: Yeah, and Rita, the only complaint that I have is
46:28
Speaker 19: why aren't we able to do this earlier? We've had,
46:31
Speaker 19: you know, genealogy testing for a long time before this.
46:34
Speaker 19: But I'm happy that the Women's Tennis Association were out
46:38
Speaker 19: and open, and we're the leader in this because I
46:40
Speaker 19: think this should be in every single women's sports. You know,
46:43
Speaker 19: women's sports should now be played by biological men. That's
46:46
Speaker 19: just an obvious opinion that everybody basically has, other than
46:50
Speaker 19: the very few people that are trying to.
46:52
Speaker 1: Play women's sports being born and a boy.
46:55
Speaker 19: You know, most people agree that it's unfair and that
46:58
Speaker 19: a biological guy has an advantage. So I'm happy that
47:01
Speaker 19: they take this big step, and I hope all the
47:03
Speaker 19: other sports leagues and women's leagues do the same thing.
47:07
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I agree with you. This is a ninety
47:09
Speaker 4: ten issue.
47:10
Speaker 3: But some very loud, influential voices are against this biological reality,
47:16
Speaker 3: including female athletes. Athletes like Megan Rappino, who made her
47:21
Speaker 3: fortune in women's sport and now she wants to undermine
47:26
Speaker 3: the ability of other women to succeed in professional sport.
47:31
Speaker 19: Well, of course, there's always one person that's going to
47:33
Speaker 19: be a virtue signaler like that, and Megan Rappino is
47:36
Speaker 19: more of an activist than an athlete in my opinion,
47:39
Speaker 19: so I really.
47:39
Speaker 1: Could care less what she says. And you know, let's
47:42
Speaker 1: just be real, even she knows.
47:44
Speaker 19: That men have a biological and physical advantage in women's sports,
47:49
Speaker 19: So she's just doing it to virtue signal, not because
47:51
Speaker 19: she's dumb. Nine.
47:54
Speaker 3: I do wonder with her whether she actually believes the
47:57
Speaker 3: nonsense that she's spews, or whether it's just virtue signaling
48:02
Speaker 3: to get her more coverage. We'll mate never know, Alex Stein,
48:07
Speaker 3: thank you so much for your time tonight, and that's
48:09
Speaker 3: all the time I have.
48:11
Speaker 4: Don't go anywhere. Newsnight is coming up next
