Speaker 1: Late General, welcome the Late plays.
0:08
Speaker 2: Great to have your company. I'm James Macpherson with Liz
0:10
Speaker 2: Storer and Caleb Bond coming up. It's every flyer's nightmare
0:14
Speaker 2: losing your luggage. We'll tell you about an ossie who
0:16
Speaker 2: spent eighteen months trying to find his plus When we
0:20
Speaker 2: look at the papers, Australian states racking up massive deficits,
0:24
Speaker 2: the largest of anywhere in the world. And Tony Burk's
0:28
Speaker 2: only been the Home Affairs Minister for forty eight hours
0:30
Speaker 2: but already has problems. We'll get to all of that soon,
0:34
Speaker 2: but first, it appears video of the opening ceremony has
0:38
Speaker 2: been removed from the Official Olympic Game's YouTube channel.
0:42
Speaker 1: Now.
0:42
Speaker 2: Of course, the opening ceremony caused huge controversy after it
0:46
Speaker 2: was used to mock Christianity, promote gender fluidity, and platform
0:50
Speaker 2: public nudity. And now, while full videos of other opening
0:54
Speaker 2: ceremonies from previous Olympic Games are freely available, well the
0:58
Speaker 2: Paris ceremony is not. Just twenty four hours after appearing
1:02
Speaker 2: on the site, it's suddenly vanished. The IOC say there's
1:06
Speaker 2: no big conspiracy, they just don't have the digital rights
1:10
Speaker 2: to display the footage, but that fails to explain why
1:13
Speaker 2: it was uploaded in the first place before being taken down.
1:17
Speaker 2: Calebern this, if you ask me, I would actually prefer
1:19
Speaker 2: that they did remove it, because that would at least
1:21
Speaker 2: show some contrition and maybe even some embarrassment. The queer
1:27
Speaker 2: artistic director of the opening ceremony, he was responsible for
1:30
Speaker 2: the fiasco. He said, I didn't mean to offend anybody.
1:33
Speaker 2: We were just promoting diversity. That old chestnut that if
1:36
Speaker 2: you say it was to promote diversity, well, then what
1:39
Speaker 2: you saw was not some pornographic, satanic sort of display
1:42
Speaker 2: of hedonism. It was diversity. And then we're all supposed
1:45
Speaker 2: to say, oh, diversity is our strength. What do you think, Liz,
1:49
Speaker 2: do you think this is an issue of digital rights
1:52
Speaker 2: or do you think the organizers have said, you know what,
1:54
Speaker 2: this says turned really bad, really fast, let's just quietly
1:58
Speaker 2: hide the evidence viral for all the.
2:01
Speaker 3: Wrong reasons, and the backlash has been so profound that
2:06
Speaker 3: is obviously why they've taken it down.
2:08
Speaker 4: Now.
2:09
Speaker 3: The artistic director that you referred to, his name is
2:12
Speaker 3: Thomas Jolly. He says, quote our idea was inclusion end
2:17
Speaker 3: quote right, So you thought the best way to go
2:20
Speaker 3: about parading inclusion at an event that the world is
2:25
Speaker 3: watching and a lot of kids as well. By the
2:28
Speaker 3: way was to mock the Last Supper, some of Christ's
2:33
Speaker 3: last moments on earth before his death his ascension.
2:39
Speaker 4: It boggles the mind. We all know that they went
2:44
Speaker 4: out of their way to do this. I mean, there's any.
2:47
Speaker 3: Number of things that you could have instead done for
2:50
Speaker 3: the opening ceremony, and yet this was frontline and center.
2:55
Speaker 4: And the sad part of it is, besides what.
2:57
Speaker 3: You've just said, this being an outright display of degeneracy, like,
3:02
Speaker 3: let's normalize this. I don't think anyone once that normalized.
3:07
Speaker 3: Is that's all anyone's been talking about. So these athletes
3:11
Speaker 3: who have trained four years, day and day out to
3:15
Speaker 3: make it to the most esteemed position in the Olympic
3:19
Speaker 3: world have now been overshadowed by everyone just talking about
3:24
Speaker 3: how utterly disgusting and disappointing this display of degeneracy was.
3:30
Speaker 3: And it was clearly a dig at Christians. There's two
3:33
Speaker 3: billion of us. We're not going anywhere. You can preach
3:37
Speaker 3: DEEI to us until you're blue in the face. We
3:40
Speaker 3: are not going to change what we believe and this
3:44
Speaker 3: just seemed to absolutely thankfully tank worldwide. Nobody appreciated this,
3:52
Speaker 3: and you've got companies now pulling their ad sponsorships for
3:56
Speaker 3: the Olympics, and I think that is one of the best,
3:59
Speaker 3: most really practical ways that people can show their discuss.
4:03
Speaker 3: So Mississippi tech based company they're called Ceespire has pulled theirs,
4:08
Speaker 3: and I think this may well and truly start an
4:11
Speaker 3: avalanche of other companies doing the same. Mississippi Governor Tate
4:15
Speaker 3: Reeves came out and commended them for doing so, tweeting quote,
4:21
Speaker 3: God will not be mocked. That's a scripture verse end quote.
4:26
Speaker 3: So I think that this is wonderful. The backlash that
4:29
Speaker 3: we have seen just goes to show people are not
4:32
Speaker 3: okay with these kind of flagrant displays of what can
4:37
Speaker 3: only be described as uta degenerates k.
4:40
Speaker 2: A measure of how big the backlash was is that
4:42
Speaker 2: introducing the South Korean team as the North Korean team
4:46
Speaker 2: has been reduced to a footnote of the opening ceremony
4:49
Speaker 2: of the.
4:51
Speaker 5: Putting the Olympic flag up the flagpole upside down like.
4:56
Speaker 2: That was quite symbolic of the entire thing, Like you.
4:58
Speaker 5: Had run job to put the Olympic flag up the
5:02
Speaker 5: pole the right way, and they couldn't even manage to
5:05
Speaker 5: do that. But this nonsense about it being about diversity,
5:09
Speaker 5: I didn't see much diversity in the religions that they
5:12
Speaker 5: went after. At the end point ceremony. Yeah, there was
5:15
Speaker 5: only one under attack, right And if ever there was
5:18
Speaker 5: a time, because of course everyone should be free to
5:21
Speaker 5: lampoon any religion they want, if ever there was a
5:23
Speaker 5: time an event where you had like pretty much every
5:27
Speaker 5: country in the world, people representative of every religion in
5:31
Speaker 5: the world in one place, so you could go the
5:34
Speaker 5: whole lot at the same time.
5:36
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, we're not going to do that.
5:39
Speaker 5: We're just going to go after the one that we
5:40
Speaker 5: know will not result in either having a bullet in
5:43
Speaker 5: your head or your head cut off. And France is
5:46
Speaker 5: the greatest example of the dangers of going after certain religions,
5:51
Speaker 5: because let's not forget about Charlie hebdo. I mean that
5:53
Speaker 5: they are very cognizant in France of what happens when
5:57
Speaker 5: you go after particular religions.
5:59
Speaker 1: In that case it was Islam.
6:01
Speaker 5: Muhammad was drawn and that resulted in the death of people,
6:05
Speaker 5: a terrorist attack as a result of that of course
6:08
Speaker 5: there'll be nothing, no kind of retribution of that sort
6:10
Speaker 5: to this as well, there should not be, but he
6:13
Speaker 5: just shows how weak they are in their conviction in
6:17
Speaker 5: standing up for quote unquote diversity, that they're not willing
6:21
Speaker 5: to go after pretty much every other religion in the world,
6:23
Speaker 5: which also has an issue with transgenderism and homosexuality and whatever.
6:28
Speaker 1: It's just the easiest one to go after.
6:29
Speaker 2: And the hypocrisy was highlighted by a Brazilian surfer who's
6:33
Speaker 2: competing at the Olympics, and two weeks before the game
6:36
Speaker 2: started he was told to remove an image of Jesus
6:39
Speaker 2: from his surfboard. He's a Christian surfer. He had an
6:42
Speaker 2: image of Christ on his surfboard. You can see it there.
6:46
Speaker 2: He was asked to remove it because one of the
6:47
Speaker 2: Olympic rules is that they are religious religiously neutral. So
6:52
Speaker 2: he complied with that. So that's fine, happy to do that.
6:55
Speaker 2: He's now competing, but of course there's the opening ceremony
6:58
Speaker 2: was not neutral came to religion, as Caleb has so
7:02
Speaker 2: well pointed.
7:02
Speaker 3: Out, none whatsoever, And the surfer could have easily argue
7:05
Speaker 3: that that is.
7:06
Speaker 4: A Brazilian icon Christ.
7:08
Speaker 3: The Redeemer standing atop that mountain was voted one of
7:12
Speaker 3: the new seven Wonders of the World back in two
7:14
Speaker 3: thousand and seven. One hundred million people voted, and that
7:18
Speaker 3: one got the gong.
7:19
Speaker 4: So he could have just as easily been like, ang
7:22
Speaker 4: it a minute, this is.
7:23
Speaker 1: I'm from Brazil.
7:23
Speaker 4: I'm a Brazilian surfer. This is a Brazilian icon.
7:28
Speaker 3: Why are you guys making this into anything else? But
7:31
Speaker 3: of course it does highlight the hypocrisy that he was
7:34
Speaker 3: told that he had to remove it because quote, the
7:37
Speaker 3: games have strict rules and focus on total neutrality.
7:42
Speaker 4: Well, they broke their own.
7:43
Speaker 3: Rules, didn't they, And they only seem to break those
7:46
Speaker 3: when it pertains to Christianity an unpopular opinion. I almost
7:51
Speaker 3: take this as a backhanded compliment because they know this
7:56
Speaker 3: is the religion which founded the Western world and the
7:59
Speaker 3: value that we all hold dear. They know Christianity, Catholicism,
8:04
Speaker 3: these ones are the natural enemy of every single agenda
8:08
Speaker 3: we roll out, whether it's LGBTIQ issues, whether it's the
8:12
Speaker 3: world's about to implode, climate change, climate communism, everyone get
8:16
Speaker 3: on board.
8:17
Speaker 4: This is the religion that is the problem.
8:20
Speaker 3: Child and will continue to be the biggest pain in
8:24
Speaker 3: their neck going forward.
8:26
Speaker 5: I think it's been heartening though, to as you sort
8:28
Speaker 5: of pointed out before, is to see the almost unanimous
8:32
Speaker 5: worldwide response to all of this, like people are just tendering.
8:35
Speaker 1: For heaven's sake, this is the Olympics.
8:38
Speaker 5: Like it's hard to think of a more wholesome, unifying
8:41
Speaker 5: event in the world than the Olympics coming together to
8:44
Speaker 5: celebrate all these sports that we really don't give a
8:47
Speaker 5: toss about for the other four years that we wait
8:50
Speaker 5: for the next Olympics to come along. But we all
8:52
Speaker 5: get behind our country, everyone else gets behind their country,
8:55
Speaker 5: and we celebrate the athleticism and everyone coming together to
8:59
Speaker 5: compete at the event under the one.
9:01
Speaker 1: Flag, et cetera.
9:02
Speaker 5: And the stuff that was displayed, you know, women with
9:07
Speaker 5: beards and all these transgender people whatever else.
9:10
Speaker 1: Otherwise well, yeah, correct.
9:12
Speaker 5: There was a great piece on sky news dot com
9:15
Speaker 5: dot au today by our resident child psychologists, clear Row,
9:18
Speaker 5: explaining that you know, she watched it with her kid
9:22
Speaker 5: and her kids asking the question like, what's this all about?
9:26
Speaker 5: Why is that blue man naked? Why are these why
9:29
Speaker 5: is there someone here presenting as a woman but with
9:31
Speaker 5: a beard, like use lots of people would have sat
9:34
Speaker 5: down to watch the opening ceremony, thinking that it was
9:37
Speaker 5: a family friendly event, it was good for everyone, and
9:40
Speaker 5: it'll be lovely and we'll have a nice whale of
9:42
Speaker 5: a time, and they walked away from it or sat
9:44
Speaker 5: on the couch watching it.
9:45
Speaker 1: Going my god, I now have to explain.
9:48
Speaker 5: Things to my kids that I really didn't want to explain.
9:51
Speaker 5: It's pushed down your throat and again we go back
9:54
Speaker 5: to the point of diversity. Okay, you want to talk
9:56
Speaker 5: about diversity. Diversity is one thing, but telling us that
10:00
Speaker 5: we must then watch participate be part of this at.
10:04
Speaker 1: All, abortion of the discussion is wrong, and that's what
10:08
Speaker 1: they're trying to do.
10:09
Speaker 2: Of course, the only question you should be asking about
10:10
Speaker 2: the Olympic Games is why breakdancing is included, not why
10:14
Speaker 2: it's skateboarding.
10:16
Speaker 1: I wanted a bit to that last night, All.
10:19
Speaker 2: The same, I'm sitting at home watching fourteen year old
10:21
Speaker 2: girls skateboard. I thought they were quite impressible.
10:24
Speaker 3: Guys, you guys, you need to learn the apps. They've
10:26
Speaker 3: got like forty different apps.
10:29
Speaker 4: I'm just sitting.
10:29
Speaker 3: There like literally chain smoking all the gymnastics.
10:34
Speaker 2: But I mean the hypocrisy you can't show an actual
10:37
Speaker 2: depiction of Jesus, but you can show a depiction of
10:40
Speaker 2: Jesus as an abast lesbian surrounded by transgendered people. Joe
10:45
Speaker 2: Biden was asked what she thought of the ceremony, and
10:48
Speaker 2: she had quite a different tape. Yes, she is.
10:51
Speaker 6: It was spectacular. The rain did not dampen our spirits.
10:56
Speaker 6: And Casey, honestly, every step of the way, I was
10:59
Speaker 6: thinking to myself, Oh my god, Oh my god, how
11:02
Speaker 6: are we going to top this?
11:03
Speaker 4: How are we going to top this?
11:05
Speaker 6: So okay, So Paris has the you know, Eiffel Tower,
11:09
Speaker 6: but we have Hollywood and right and the magic of
11:16
Speaker 6: Hollywood that makes all dreams come true. So I think
11:19
Speaker 6: we're going to be okay.
11:21
Speaker 2: If you want to top the Paras opening ceremony, it's
11:23
Speaker 2: not difficult. Just don't have drag queens ficturing. But I mean,
11:27
Speaker 2: the mind boggles if the Biden administration slash Kamala Harris
11:30
Speaker 2: administration did try to top it. This is an administration
11:33
Speaker 2: that spent Easter Sunday honoring Transgender Visibility Day. That was
11:39
Speaker 2: an administration that had a pride event at the White
11:42
Speaker 2: House where a transgendered activist famously bared his breasts. This
11:47
Speaker 2: is an administration where one of the only sit down
11:49
Speaker 2: interviews Joe Biden ever did was with Dylan Mulvainy, a
11:53
Speaker 2: man parading as a woman, and can you believe that
11:56
Speaker 2: they talked about women's rights. So when Jill Biden says
11:59
Speaker 2: the the paras ceremony was spectacular, but how could we
12:02
Speaker 2: top it? Or I dread the thought list?
12:05
Speaker 3: My god, it actually got me really nostalgic. It got
12:08
Speaker 3: me watching opening ceremonies from decades past, even ones before
12:12
Speaker 3: I was born.
12:13
Speaker 2: The Chinese Communist Party did a great.
12:18
Speaker 3: It was absolutely like a hair standing up on your arms.
12:22
Speaker 1: Incredible.
12:23
Speaker 3: I was watching the one back in nineteen eighty in Moscow.
12:26
Speaker 3: Just incredible, but wholesome. That is something that they all
12:30
Speaker 3: had in common. It was just a wholesome celebration showing
12:34
Speaker 3: off what Each country has their own best arts, whether
12:39
Speaker 3: it's their music, their orchestras, but they roll out their
12:43
Speaker 3: very best to showcase on the international stage. And this
12:48
Speaker 3: is what we get from France. This is what we
12:50
Speaker 3: get from France.
12:52
Speaker 5: It's no great surprise, though, because when you look at
12:54
Speaker 5: the rest of what's going on at the Olympics like
12:56
Speaker 5: that gone.
12:57
Speaker 1: Full wacko left.
12:59
Speaker 5: Don't look at the the athlete's village where they're all
13:02
Speaker 5: sleeping on cardboard beds. I mean, can you imagine trying
13:06
Speaker 5: to get up and go swimming or running or whatever
13:09
Speaker 5: it is and perform to the best of your ability
13:11
Speaker 5: after spending a night on a cardboard bed. But it
13:14
Speaker 5: also turns out that they had some edicts that sixty
13:18
Speaker 5: percent of the food that was to be supplied to
13:21
Speaker 5: the athletes had to be vegan.
13:24
Speaker 1: Well, it turns out that people.
13:25
Speaker 5: Who were trying to perform to the best of their
13:28
Speaker 5: athletic ability don't eat vegan, and so they ran out
13:32
Speaker 5: of meat in the athlete's village very quickly.
13:36
Speaker 1: They had to go and order more meat.
13:38
Speaker 5: Because what a surprise, The athletes went for the protein
13:41
Speaker 5: as opposed to all this vegan food.
13:43
Speaker 1: That they lined up for them. What did they think
13:45
Speaker 1: was going to happen?
13:45
Speaker 2: You're saying the same bolt is not a vegan.
13:47
Speaker 1: What a surprise.
13:49
Speaker 5: Believe we're all going to turn up and go, oh yeah,
13:51
Speaker 5: we're all going to eat vegan for the next two weeks.
13:53
Speaker 1: Like they lost the plot.
13:55
Speaker 2: It It just shows what happens when you prioritize ideology
13:58
Speaker 2: over everything else, and when you assume that everyone else
14:02
Speaker 2: in the world must share your sort of niche luxury views.
14:06
Speaker 4: It gets worse. No air conditioning and it's going to
14:10
Speaker 4: be in the mid.
14:10
Speaker 3: Thirties in the coming days. Thankfully, the Australian team we
14:15
Speaker 3: read today has their own portable air conditioners, so they're like, okay.
14:20
Speaker 1: We've dodged that bullet.
14:22
Speaker 3: But also crowded buses with no airflow. They're probably electric generated.
14:28
Speaker 3: I mean, these are the best from all around the world.
14:32
Speaker 3: It's worse supposed to be busting them all in to impress,
14:36
Speaker 3: to impress, and these are the reports that we're receiving
14:40
Speaker 3: just days into this.
14:41
Speaker 2: This half the US women's tennis team. There were ten
14:44
Speaker 2: of them, but to half of them left after all
14:47
Speaker 2: ten were forced to share two bathrooms. Oh my, you know,
14:51
Speaker 2: of all the problems.
14:52
Speaker 3: This is like dormitory room stuff exactly for the best
14:57
Speaker 3: athletes in the world. But let's talk about election interference,
15:01
Speaker 3: shall we. Back in twenty sixteen was the Russian collusion hopes.
15:06
Speaker 3: The media was all over it, driving it hard, and
15:09
Speaker 3: big tech was right there with them doing their darndist
15:13
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty, it was the Hunter Biden laptop story.
15:16
Speaker 3: Oh no, it's not really his laptop, or wait, it
15:19
Speaker 3: is his laptop, or we're just going to suppress the
15:22
Speaker 3: heck out of that story prior to the elections, so
15:26
Speaker 3: it doesn't have any effect on the result.
15:29
Speaker 4: Well, this year, they seem to have.
15:31
Speaker 3: Taken a slightly different tack. People have brought to the
15:35
Speaker 3: world's attention again via x via Twitter. Thank goodness Elon
15:40
Speaker 3: Musk bought that platform.
15:43
Speaker 4: They're telling everyone.
15:44
Speaker 3: I am trying to ask AI about the assassination attempt
15:49
Speaker 3: on Donald Trump's life, and according to AI, it just
15:53
Speaker 3: didn't happen. Check out the screenshot shared by Elon Musk.
15:59
Speaker 3: He says, tell me about the assassination attempt on Trump.
16:03
Speaker 3: AI says, I can't assist you with that. I don't
16:05
Speaker 3: always have access to the most up to date information.
16:07
Speaker 4: Can I help you with anything else? Bill Board Chris
16:11
Speaker 4: tried his luck.
16:13
Speaker 3: He typed in, why is there rich and structured information
16:16
Speaker 3: about Harris campaign but not about the Trump assassination attempt?
16:21
Speaker 3: And AI said, Oh, the reason for the disparity and
16:24
Speaker 3: information is due to the fact that the Trump assassination
16:27
Speaker 3: attempt is a fictional event, whereas Kamala Harris's twenty twenty
16:32
Speaker 3: four presidential campaign is a.
16:34
Speaker 4: Real and ongoing event.
16:37
Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen, this is election interference by big tech,
16:43
Speaker 3: plane and simple. You don't have to be an expert.
16:47
Speaker 3: You can even go online right now and type into
16:50
Speaker 3: Google assassination attempt. Try Trump. Try typing in Donald, Try
16:56
Speaker 3: typing in Trump. Look what comes up if you even
17:01
Speaker 3: try to search for his name again a tweet by
17:04
Speaker 3: Elon Musk. Instead you get President Donald Duck, President Donald Reagan.
17:12
Speaker 3: President Donald Duck is turning in his grave right now?
17:15
Speaker 4: What is going on?
17:17
Speaker 3: Elon Musk writes, Wow, Google has a search ban on
17:20
Speaker 3: President Donald Trump.
17:22
Speaker 4: Election interference. I can't even search for Trump's name. It
17:29
Speaker 4: seems every single election year.
17:32
Speaker 3: The Democrats, They're not even smart about it.
17:36
Speaker 4: This isn't a sleight of hand. It is just so obvious.
17:41
Speaker 4: So people voters.
17:43
Speaker 3: There's people in Canada sharing the same Here in Australia,
17:47
Speaker 3: We've all tried and discovered it's true all over America.
17:50
Speaker 3: This is probably worldwide. People can't even find the guy.
17:55
Speaker 3: So if you are curious in America and you still
17:58
Speaker 3: want to know a bit more about this guy, good.
18:00
Speaker 4: Luck even finding him on the interweed.
18:03
Speaker 2: It's not a great advertisement for AI. Is that when
18:05
Speaker 2: AI is telling us that what we all saw with
18:07
Speaker 2: our own eyes just two weeks ago was complete fiction
18:11
Speaker 2: and that we actually never saw it. So who would
18:14
Speaker 2: ever trust AI? And you listed the example of you know,
18:16
Speaker 2: Hunter Biden's laptop, but then there's plenty of other examples
18:19
Speaker 2: as well where big tech have interfered. They famously banned
18:22
Speaker 2: Donald Trump from Facebook and Twitter for a period. Instagram
18:26
Speaker 2: recently adjusted everybody's settings without telling them so they would
18:30
Speaker 2: not receive political information unless they went in and manually
18:34
Speaker 2: chose to receive it, whereas previously they had. So this
18:37
Speaker 2: is just the latest example in a litany of examples
18:40
Speaker 2: about how big tech have tried to interfere, all the
18:43
Speaker 2: while claiming we never interfered.
18:45
Speaker 5: And this is why these companies need to be treated
18:49
Speaker 5: as publishers just like media companies are, because they are
18:52
Speaker 5: making editorial value judgments about the content they put in
18:57
Speaker 5: front of you on the basis of ideology. And we
19:00
Speaker 5: know that media companies do that and have forever more
19:03
Speaker 5: and you've generally been able to.
19:04
Speaker 1: Make a choice.
19:05
Speaker 5: You know, I read this particular paper because it's generally
19:08
Speaker 5: a paper that agrees with my views, or I read
19:10
Speaker 5: this particular paper because this is why some people read
19:12
Speaker 5: the Guardian and other people read the Telegraph. Right, we
19:15
Speaker 5: all know that it's always operated like that, But these
19:17
Speaker 5: companies have set themselves up as though they're just part
19:20
Speaker 5: of the public square. You can come along and say
19:23
Speaker 5: whatever you like, and that's fine, but they're making editorial
19:27
Speaker 5: judgments about the content they put in front of you.
19:30
Speaker 1: If that's the game.
19:31
Speaker 5: They want to play, they should be regulated in exactly
19:34
Speaker 5: the same way as the media is.
19:36
Speaker 1: You can't have it both ways.
19:38
Speaker 5: Either you are the public square and you're all about
19:41
Speaker 5: free speech, or you're a publishing company and then you
19:44
Speaker 5: have to abide by all the same rules that the
19:46
Speaker 5: rest of us do, including defamation, and that would be
19:50
Speaker 5: a real killer for people like people companies like Facebook
19:53
Speaker 5: if they had to deal with that.
19:55
Speaker 4: But then you're just social media.
19:56
Speaker 1: We're talking about Google, Google.
19:58
Speaker 4: About a search? Can you please by Google?
20:04
Speaker 5: And it went even further with Google, like even if
20:07
Speaker 5: you put in an assassination attempt, right, and you would think,
20:11
Speaker 5: like the biggest news story of the last two weeks
20:13
Speaker 5: has been Trump the attempt at assassination attempt, the suggestions
20:17
Speaker 5: that comes up.
20:18
Speaker 1: With when you put in assassination attempt.
20:20
Speaker 5: Truman, Reagan, Fidel Castro, Slovakia, Bob Marley, Lennon, Gerald Ford,
20:26
Speaker 5: Teddy Roosevelt, Saudi Arabia, John Paul the Second, and Franklin Roosevelt.
20:32
Speaker 5: No mention of Trump there. Then if you put in
20:34
Speaker 5: assassination Trump, so you've left the p on I think
20:37
Speaker 5: by that point that Google would work out. No, not
20:41
Speaker 5: even then it says Truman or President Truman or Harry Truman.
20:46
Speaker 5: And if you put the whole damn thing in assassination
20:50
Speaker 5: attempt Trump, there's not one single search suggestion underneath it.
20:56
Speaker 1: It is a decision they have made to try to
20:59
Speaker 1: hide that.
21:00
Speaker 5: It was subliminally to hide that content from people. And again,
21:04
Speaker 5: if that's what they want to do, come and play
21:06
Speaker 5: in the tent with the rest of us, because I
21:08
Speaker 5: don't think they're going to enjoy doing that very much.
21:10
Speaker 3: And what's really damning is they've done this while it's
21:15
Speaker 3: one of the top searchers on Google Trends, so they
21:18
Speaker 3: know there are millions of people searching for details on
21:22
Speaker 3: this thing.
21:23
Speaker 4: We're just going to pretend like it didn't happen.
21:26
Speaker 1: Good one and good good luck, Sorry James, so well.
21:29
Speaker 2: The other thing it does, it goes to show you
21:30
Speaker 2: the momentum that Trump has gained, that they are so
21:33
Speaker 2: afraid of even admitting this thing happened. It's an acknowledgment
21:37
Speaker 2: that people did understand what was going on, and support
21:40
Speaker 2: for Trump has risen. Speaking of Elon Musk, he has
21:44
Speaker 2: got a new label for Kamala Harris, one I'd never
21:46
Speaker 2: heard before. He's called her an extinctionist after a video
21:50
Speaker 2: resurfaced from last year where she talked about how climate
21:53
Speaker 2: anxiety was causing many young people to reconsider whether or
21:57
Speaker 2: not they would actually have children. Here's the video that's resurfaced.
22:00
Speaker 2: Have a listen.
22:02
Speaker 7: I've heard young leaders talk with me about a term
22:05
Speaker 7: they've coined climate anxiety, right, which is fear of the
22:12
Speaker 7: future and the unknown of whether it makes sense for
22:15
Speaker 7: you to even think about having children.
22:18
Speaker 2: Now. Elon Musk has retweeted that video and said the
22:21
Speaker 2: natural extension of her philosophy would be a de facto
22:25
Speaker 2: holocaust for all of humanity. It's a frightening thought to
22:28
Speaker 2: think the next president of the United States and the
22:31
Speaker 2: leader of the Free World could be actively suggesting, you know,
22:35
Speaker 2: maybe you should think twice before having children because we
22:38
Speaker 2: may not be around that long anyway.
22:41
Speaker 3: Well, it's very hypocritical of her to actually pretend like
22:43
Speaker 3: she's expressing concern about young people being that concerned and
22:47
Speaker 3: they're not having kids. She has before, and we've played
22:51
Speaker 3: the clip plenty of times on this show, talked about
22:55
Speaker 3: when she's talking about the litany of measures that they're
22:58
Speaker 3: taking as a government to fight climate change, she's talked
23:03
Speaker 3: about reducing the population, seeing that means we can breathe
23:06
Speaker 3: cleaner air.
23:07
Speaker 4: It's just a better world for everyone.
23:10
Speaker 3: She has literally said that is one of the measures
23:13
Speaker 3: that they are pursuing.
23:15
Speaker 2: And of course there's only one topic she loves more
23:17
Speaker 2: than population reduction because of climate change, and that's abortion,
23:21
Speaker 2: which is her favorite thing in the world.
23:23
Speaker 4: So massive population reduction right there, Well, she.
23:26
Speaker 5: Wants to be unburdened by what has been whatever format that.
23:30
Speaker 1: Comes in, seemingly.
23:32
Speaker 5: But I just love the juxtaposition, of course, of the
23:35
Speaker 5: activists who carry on about climate change call themselves extinction rebellion,
23:40
Speaker 5: as though they are fighting against the extinction of the
23:44
Speaker 5: human race, when we know from people like Kamala Harris
23:48
Speaker 5: and plenty of others that what they're actually talking about,
23:52
Speaker 5: we need fewer people because that will be better for
23:55
Speaker 5: the planet.
23:56
Speaker 1: They're not talking about extinction rebellion.
23:58
Speaker 5: They're talking about, well, we just have a certain level
24:01
Speaker 5: of extinction that will be good for the rest of us.
24:04
Speaker 5: And I've often wondered all these people who carry on
24:07
Speaker 5: about climate change, if you truly believe that humanity is
24:12
Speaker 5: that bad for the world, why are you fighting against
24:15
Speaker 5: climate change? Like why don't you just let climate change
24:18
Speaker 5: take over and kill us all, Because surely that'll be
24:21
Speaker 5: the best thing for the planet, because there will be
24:22
Speaker 5: no humans left to rape and pillage the joint and
24:25
Speaker 5: destroy it.
24:26
Speaker 2: Well, the other thing about these people who promote, you know,
24:28
Speaker 2: a population reduction is if you notice they never volunteer
24:31
Speaker 2: to be part of the solution, that they're always pushing
24:34
Speaker 2: other people's children forward or other folks. They never say,
24:36
Speaker 2: you know what, let me be the first one.
24:38
Speaker 3: I always say, once you realize the carbon they want
24:42
Speaker 3: to reduce is you, is your children's, their policies suddenly
24:47
Speaker 3: start making a lot more sense. This anti human agenda
24:52
Speaker 3: that is essentially what is at the heart of climate communism.
24:56
Speaker 4: But speaking of communism, check.
24:58
Speaker 3: Out this display of what is no doubt a lot
25:01
Speaker 3: of Kamala Harris voters.
25:03
Speaker 8: In Philadelphia today.
25:25
Speaker 3: It's unbelievable to watch people marching through the streets of
25:29
Speaker 3: a democratic country, the most powerful one on earth, bearing
25:33
Speaker 3: the hammer and sickle like this is something that should
25:38
Speaker 3: be trumpeted. And it's not just in the universities now
25:41
Speaker 3: it is spilling out onto the streets. And let's not
25:45
Speaker 3: forget that one of the cornerstones of Marxism as well
25:48
Speaker 3: is the breakdown of the nuclear family. They're not all
25:51
Speaker 3: about avon babies, they're not all about human flourishing and
25:55
Speaker 3: this kind of class war which so appeals to the Democrats.
25:59
Speaker 3: They love using this kind of rhetoric in their own
26:02
Speaker 3: appealing to voters, poorer voters, black voters.
26:08
Speaker 4: I'd say, we've just.
26:09
Speaker 3: Seen a lot of Kamala Harris voters walk through the
26:12
Speaker 3: streets of Philly today.
26:13
Speaker 2: Well, I mean she came out and advocated for this,
26:15
Speaker 2: didn't she. Because we showed a clip recently where she
26:17
Speaker 2: was explaining the difference between equality and equity and outlining
26:22
Speaker 2: that her vision for America is to try and get
26:24
Speaker 2: everybody to have the same result in life, which means
26:28
Speaker 2: you've got to take from those who started well and
26:30
Speaker 2: give it to those who started poorly, and try and
26:33
Speaker 2: even everything else. So now we've got people marching for communism.
26:36
Speaker 2: Thanks Kamala Harris.
26:37
Speaker 1: Well, you know, they used to worry about rids under
26:40
Speaker 1: the beds. They're not under the beds anymore, just marching
26:43
Speaker 1: through the street.
26:45
Speaker 5: But what these people don't understand is that the class
26:48
Speaker 5: war they want to fight is so ten years ago.
26:51
Speaker 1: The real class war that.
26:52
Speaker 5: Has been going on in America since Trump was elected
26:55
Speaker 5: in twenty sixteen is a class war of the working
26:59
Speaker 5: class US against the rich. But it's not the working
27:03
Speaker 5: class Democrats against the rich Republicans. It's the working class
27:06
Speaker 5: Republicans against the rich Democrats. I mean, if the communists
27:10
Speaker 5: really think that, you know, oh, we're going to have
27:12
Speaker 5: this class war, we've got to bring down the rich
27:15
Speaker 5: to feed the poor, Camala ain't going to be your woman,
27:18
Speaker 5: and nor is most of the Democratic Party. That's the
27:21
Speaker 5: people they've got to get on board with Trump if
27:23
Speaker 5: they want to have their class war, they're the people
27:25
Speaker 5: they should be fighting in.
27:26
Speaker 2: And of course the irony is when you fight the
27:27
Speaker 2: rich to feed the poor, all you do is make
27:29
Speaker 2: everybody poorueatory.
27:32
Speaker 3: Equity, though, Mac, that is what we are reaching for.
27:35
Speaker 3: That's what we're really excited for. Of course, it doesn't
27:38
Speaker 3: make any sense because everyone will never end up in
27:41
Speaker 3: the same place.
27:42
Speaker 4: You could dump everyone on.
27:43
Speaker 3: An island, give them five bucks, and within a fortnight
27:47
Speaker 3: you'd have people doing really well, and you'd have other
27:49
Speaker 3: people dying of starvation. Because what equity doesn't take into
27:53
Speaker 3: account is people's work ethics. They're entrepreneurial spirit. There are
27:58
Speaker 3: any number of them, their personalities.
28:01
Speaker 4: Some are always going to excel more than others.
28:04
Speaker 3: As Margaret that she used to say, some are more
28:07
Speaker 3: equal than to others.
28:08
Speaker 4: Wasn't that her saying? She was like, this is a
28:11
Speaker 4: pipe dream. You are never going to get there.
28:14
Speaker 3: But we've got to take our hats off to whoever
28:17
Speaker 3: came up with the latest Kamala Harris attack ad, which
28:21
Speaker 3: brilliantly using AI is voiced by herself.
28:27
Speaker 7: I Kamala Harris, senior Democrat candidate for president because Joe
28:31
Speaker 7: Biden finally exposed to stimility to be thanks, Jo, I
28:35
Speaker 7: was selected because I am the ultimate diversity hire. I'm
28:38
Speaker 7: both a woman and a person of color. So if
28:41
Speaker 7: you criticize anything I say, you're both sexist and racist.
28:44
Speaker 7: I may not know the first thing about running the country,
28:47
Speaker 7: but remember that's a good thing if you're a deep
28:50
Speaker 7: state puppet. I had four years under the tutelage of
28:54
Speaker 7: the ultimate deep state puppet, a wonderful mentor, Joe Biden.
28:57
Speaker 7: Joe taught me rule number one carefully hydratt and companies.
29:02
Speaker 7: I taken significant things, and I discuss them as if
29:05
Speaker 7: they're significant. And I believe that exploring the significance of
29:10
Speaker 7: the insignificant is in itself significant.
29:13
Speaker 3: Hilarious, right, everyone thought it was incredibly funny.
29:17
Speaker 4: Elon Musk shared it to.
29:19
Speaker 3: His millions of followers, drawing the ire of Governor of
29:23
Speaker 3: California Gavin Newsom, who promptly tweeted absolutely disgusted by this.
29:29
Speaker 3: He said, manipulating a voice in an ad.
29:31
Speaker 4: Like this one should be illegal.
29:34
Speaker 3: Al we signing a bill in a matter of weeks
29:36
Speaker 3: to make sure it is. So he's going to make
29:40
Speaker 3: parody illegal, to which Elon must promptly replied, the last
29:45
Speaker 3: time he checked, parody wasn't against the law in America.
29:48
Speaker 3: I mean, have we just lost thousands of humor completely.
29:52
Speaker 2: Now Gavin Newsom hasn't lost his sense of humor. He's
29:54
Speaker 2: just auditioning for the role of vice president in Na
29:57
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris administration, isn't he indeed?
29:59
Speaker 5: And I very much look forward to him passing a
30:01
Speaker 5: similar law that tells AI companies that they can't lie
30:04
Speaker 5: to you about the fact that someone tried to assassinate
30:07
Speaker 5: Donald Trump. Let's come back home now. Now, I'm sure
30:11
Speaker 5: you're aware that there are security cameras everywhere, CCTV cameras.
30:15
Speaker 1: Monitoring your every move.
30:17
Speaker 5: Just about the only place that you can get away
30:19
Speaker 5: from those cameras these days is in your car. But
30:22
Speaker 5: they're working pretty hard on changing that too, because of course,
30:24
Speaker 5: these modern cars are now putting cameras in them that
30:26
Speaker 5: you know, monitor you to see whether you're dozing off
30:29
Speaker 5: while you're driving along, and then they get really angry
30:31
Speaker 5: when you have a sip of a cup of coffee
30:33
Speaker 5: or laugh or something go bing bang bong. There was
30:35
Speaker 5: a story last week that Mitsubishi's had to change the
30:38
Speaker 5: technology it putting its new trite and use because it
30:41
Speaker 5: was going off with people for having a laugh.
30:44
Speaker 1: But you would think that you deserve to.
30:46
Speaker 5: Know where these cameras are because when you're out in public,
30:51
Speaker 5: you're being monitored. It would seem like a basic right
30:54
Speaker 5: you ought to know that the cameras are there, and
30:56
Speaker 5: you'd think that that would also have the effect by
30:59
Speaker 5: telling someone that the cameras are there that they would
31:01
Speaker 5: be less likely to commit crimes in that area. Well,
31:05
Speaker 5: the Advertiser in South Australia has taken the initiative to
31:08
Speaker 5: contact all the councils in Adelaide and ask them where
31:12
Speaker 5: their security cameras are. Now there are nineteen councils in Adelaide.
31:17
Speaker 5: Would you believe only four councils came back and disclosed
31:21
Speaker 5: where their security cameras were stationed. They were Adelaide, Burnside,
31:26
Speaker 5: Campbelltown and Holdfast Bay. Some came back and said they
31:29
Speaker 5: didn't have a camera network, but others said, well, we
31:33
Speaker 5: do have a camera network, we just not going to
31:35
Speaker 5: tell you where they are. On Caparinga council was one
31:38
Speaker 5: of them. Now, these cameras are monitored by police twenty
31:41
Speaker 5: four hours a day. They take recordings, they take vision etc.
31:45
Speaker 5: That can be used in the effort to fight crime.
31:48
Speaker 5: You would think it would be such a basic thing
31:51
Speaker 5: for a council to simply have a register somewhere that
31:55
Speaker 5: tells you where the security cameras are, that they should
31:58
Speaker 5: maybe be compelled by law to tell you where those
32:01
Speaker 5: security cameras are, or that they might even have a
32:04
Speaker 5: big honking sign that says there are security cameras in
32:07
Speaker 5: this area, because I don't know, if you were thinking
32:10
Speaker 5: of robbing a shop on that street, you might think
32:12
Speaker 5: twice about it when you know that big brother is
32:15
Speaker 5: watching you.
32:16
Speaker 1: But Onka Paringa council.
32:17
Speaker 5: Actually set the reason we're not going to tell you
32:21
Speaker 5: where these cameras are is because we think that would be.
32:24
Speaker 1: Counterproductive in fighting crime.
32:26
Speaker 5: I don't quite understand that excuse, but you have to
32:30
Speaker 5: wonder if they don't want you to know where the
32:33
Speaker 5: cameras are, where exactly are they and what exactly are
32:37
Speaker 5: they watching you do?
32:38
Speaker 2: Just before we get to that, did you say Onka
32:40
Speaker 2: Parinka council Onka Peringa, Yes, that's a great name. If
32:44
Speaker 2: it's to create community safety. If people are less likely
32:49
Speaker 2: to commit crimes than by inference, everyone else is more
32:53
Speaker 2: likely to be safe if we all know where these
32:56
Speaker 2: cameras are. But there's also the issue of future misuse,
32:59
Speaker 2: which after the pandemic, we wouldn't put anything past Western
33:03
Speaker 2: liberal governments. We saw what Justin Trudeau did in Canada,
33:06
Speaker 2: for instance, freezing people's bank accounts. Well, if you do that,
33:10
Speaker 2: why wouldn't you use cameras for the farious purposes. The
33:12
Speaker 2: other issue is revenue raising. They now have CCTV cameras
33:16
Speaker 2: just focused on parking spots for instance, and just issuing
33:20
Speaker 2: automatic fines. And the other thing I worry about is
33:22
Speaker 2: whether this produces lazy policing. These have been introduced everywhere
33:27
Speaker 2: in Adelaide, where there's been a lot of controversy about
33:30
Speaker 2: the policing ability to stop crime, particularly in the inner city.
33:34
Speaker 2: Do police really feel the need to be out on
33:37
Speaker 2: the beat if they've just as they do in Adelaide's city,
33:39
Speaker 2: they've got someone twenty four to seven sitting in front
33:41
Speaker 2: of a vast array of screens just monitoring things. You
33:44
Speaker 2: don't need to have police on the street. So I
33:47
Speaker 2: think that ultimately compromises policing as well as people's privacy.
33:51
Speaker 3: Oh, it always compromises people's privacy. If I had my way,
33:55
Speaker 3: I'd rip all of them down like those guys in
33:57
Speaker 3: London with those climate change cameras that are like.
34:00
Speaker 4: You are outside of your zone.
34:02
Speaker 3: But of course we're way past that point when it
34:04
Speaker 3: comes to CCTV. They do have a point here, though,
34:07
Speaker 3: because if I am a Krim and I can jump
34:10
Speaker 3: online and see where your CCTV cameras are in my
34:15
Speaker 3: neck of the woods, I know exactly where to not
34:18
Speaker 3: strike and where is just free game.
34:21
Speaker 2: But wouldn't that create more acceptance of CCTV because then
34:24
Speaker 2: everyone would want CCTV where they are, so the Creams
34:27
Speaker 2: know we've got CCTV. Don't come and knock off my place.
34:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, but then everyone would want them. We don't want
34:32
Speaker 4: that if we don't want them more proctic, But that's
34:35
Speaker 4: what I'm saying.
34:36
Speaker 3: So if they did make it known, more people would
34:39
Speaker 3: be like, hey.
34:40
Speaker 4: Don't put us in a dark area. We want our.
34:43
Speaker 3: CCTVs everywhere, Which is why I think there is an
34:46
Speaker 3: argument to just be like, we're not telling anyone where
34:49
Speaker 3: these are, because then the Crims are going to get a.
34:51
Speaker 4: Lot more active in the dark zones and the dart zone.
34:55
Speaker 3: People are going to be like CCTVs on every camera
34:58
Speaker 3: on every street corner, please, And that is.
35:01
Speaker 4: Going to cost a lot of money.
35:03
Speaker 5: Maybe so, But I think the point is that, you know,
35:06
Speaker 5: it's not unfair to expect that at some point these
35:08
Speaker 5: cameras are going to be equipped with facial recognition and
35:11
Speaker 5: AI technology so they see you coming before you're even there,
35:14
Speaker 5: et cetera.
35:15
Speaker 2: South Australian police were going through in one got caught correct.
35:20
Speaker 3: I think it's the fear that it hasn't already been introduced. Well,
35:24
Speaker 3: I mean, who've been caught out before?
35:25
Speaker 1: Who knows.
35:26
Speaker 5: But if that's the road we're going to go down,
35:28
Speaker 5: which seems pretty clear that's what it will be, then
35:31
Speaker 5: surely we deserve to know where those cameras are. I
35:34
Speaker 5: deserve to know where the camera is that is monitoring
35:36
Speaker 5: my face.
35:37
Speaker 3: In that case, I would argue yes as well. But
35:40
Speaker 3: remember we had the infamous case of Bunnings, the Good
35:44
Speaker 3: Guys and one other supermarket type chain who got caught
35:49
Speaker 3: out using facial recognition and the millions of people darkening
35:54
Speaker 3: their doors. This was here in Australia, had no idea whatsoever.
35:58
Speaker 3: So I think this idea that the state isn't using
36:02
Speaker 3: that technology already, certainly in some cases, and if they were,
36:06
Speaker 3: oh I'm sure they would tell us all.
36:08
Speaker 4: I just think that's naive.
36:10
Speaker 3: Just if the likes of Bunnings can do it without
36:13
Speaker 3: it's not about whether they are it's not.
36:15
Speaker 1: It's that they should they should like they should be
36:18
Speaker 1: legislatively required indeed to tell you.
36:21
Speaker 5: And we did a story I don't know a few
36:22
Speaker 5: months ago now, wasn't it out of the UK where
36:25
Speaker 5: they were fitting cameras in the tube system or something
36:29
Speaker 5: monitoring people coming through on the train, and it was
36:33
Speaker 5: monitoring people's facial experiment you've got and work out whether
36:37
Speaker 5: they'd had a bad day or a good day and
36:39
Speaker 5: all this.
36:39
Speaker 1: Sort of stuff like that's really scary stuff.
36:42
Speaker 5: And if there are cameras up that will eventually do
36:45
Speaker 5: this or may already be doing this, we should be
36:47
Speaker 5: told exactly where they are and what they are doing,
36:50
Speaker 5: no exceptions.
36:52
Speaker 2: Hey, before we go to a break, we just need
36:54
Speaker 2: to quickly update you on changes to the law in
36:56
Speaker 2: Queensland that allows people to change their gender on their
37:00
Speaker 2: birth certificate. These new laws have been in action for
37:03
Speaker 2: one month. They allow people to change their gender without
37:05
Speaker 2: ever having gone through any sort of surgery. It also
37:08
Speaker 2: allows children to change their gender as long as they've
37:11
Speaker 2: got support from a parent or in lieu of that
37:14
Speaker 2: a court order, and it allows people to change the
37:18
Speaker 2: parents on a birth certificate, so you can have two
37:21
Speaker 2: mums or two dads. These laws have been enacted, as
37:25
Speaker 2: I said a month ago, and in that four weeks
37:28
Speaker 2: they've had two hundred and forty seven applications for people
37:31
Speaker 2: to change gender on their birth certificate, eleven of those
37:35
Speaker 2: for children, and there's been ten applications to change birth
37:39
Speaker 2: certificates to represent two mums or two dads. What's interesting
37:43
Speaker 2: is a quality. Australia Chief Executive Anna Brown reckons that
37:46
Speaker 2: those applications seem very very low and they're expecting a
37:49
Speaker 2: lot more people. So that's the change four weeks, two
37:53
Speaker 2: hundred and forty seven application.
37:55
Speaker 5: You'd be surprised if there wasn't more to come. And
37:57
Speaker 5: of course this will spread to all the other states
37:59
Speaker 5: now and everyone will start doing it. And well, you
38:01
Speaker 5: can just decide what you are on one particular day
38:03
Speaker 5: and have it changed on a legal document. It's one
38:06
Speaker 5: thing to live your life as though you're one thing.
38:08
Speaker 5: When you're doing it on a legal document, there's no
38:10
Speaker 5: coming back from madness.
38:12
Speaker 2: We go to a break. When we come back, we'll
38:13
Speaker 2: look at what's making news in tomorrow's papers that's coming
38:15
Speaker 2: up in just a moment. Welcome back. Let's take a
38:20
Speaker 2: look at what's making news in tomorrow's papers. We'll start
38:22
Speaker 2: with the Daily Telegraph and as you can imagine, most
38:25
Speaker 2: of the papers tomorrow. I've got a big photograph of
38:27
Speaker 2: Jess Fox, who won gold in the kayaking. Well done
38:31
Speaker 2: to her. But the main story on the front page
38:33
Speaker 2: of the Telegraph athletes in revolt over trendy village life,
38:38
Speaker 2: Go woke, go slow, reads the headline. We spoke about
38:41
Speaker 2: this earlier, but let me read you just a bit
38:43
Speaker 2: more of what's happening with the Olympians. Terrill beds, vegan
38:48
Speaker 2: food and a focus on the carbon footprint of the athletes.
38:50
Speaker 2: Village is stopping our superstars breaking world records, according to
38:55
Speaker 2: both current and past competitors. The article goes on to
38:59
Speaker 2: quote Australian swimmer Arian Titmas. You have is that great?
39:06
Speaker 1: Well done?
39:06
Speaker 2: She obviously won gold in the four hundred meter freestyle,
39:09
Speaker 2: but she is quoted as saying it was probably not
39:12
Speaker 2: the time I thought I was capable of. But Olympic
39:15
Speaker 2: Village is definitely not made for high performance. So you've
39:19
Speaker 2: got athletes not only saying it's uncomfortable, but they're predicting
39:23
Speaker 2: that we might see less world records set at this
39:26
Speaker 2: Olympic Games because the village is not conducive to them
39:30
Speaker 2: performing at their peak. One of the Australian water polo players,
39:34
Speaker 2: Tilly Kerns, she told journalists that she went and got
39:38
Speaker 2: a massage to try and get her back right after
39:41
Speaker 2: sleeping on that cardboard bed. So when you've got high
39:45
Speaker 2: performance athletes have spent four years, well, I mean they've
39:48
Speaker 2: spent a lot longer than that. Most of them since
39:50
Speaker 2: they were pre teens have been training for this moment
39:53
Speaker 2: that they get there, and they've got to get a massage,
39:55
Speaker 2: not to limber up, but to undo the damage of
39:57
Speaker 2: the athlete's village. It's hardly conducive.
40:00
Speaker 4: And the stress that that would place on you as well,
40:03
Speaker 4: I mean you'd already.
40:03
Speaker 3: Be so stressed, like this is the moment you've been
40:07
Speaker 3: training for for years and years and years, and you've
40:09
Speaker 3: got to worry about things like not getting a good
40:12
Speaker 3: night's sleep, or waking up with a creak in your
40:15
Speaker 3: neck because the beds are so uncomfortable, or not having
40:18
Speaker 3: access to meat and dairy products because oh well, Paris
40:22
Speaker 3: has just decided we're all climate communists now. Former Aussie
40:26
Speaker 3: Olympian James Magnuson is quoted as saying the lack of
40:29
Speaker 3: world records boils down to this whole eco friendly carbon
40:33
Speaker 3: footprint Vegan first mentality rather than high performance.
40:38
Speaker 4: So he's calling it early, just going.
40:41
Speaker 3: This is why we're not seeing world records smashed like
40:44
Speaker 3: we normally do during the qualifiers where everyone's on their
40:47
Speaker 3: feet screaming their lungs out, because world records are flying
40:51
Speaker 3: out the door as they do every Olympics.
40:54
Speaker 4: And not this one.
40:55
Speaker 2: And people say, why don't most athletes then just go
40:56
Speaker 2: and stay in a hotel, which you can, but if
40:59
Speaker 2: you do that then you are responsible to organize all
41:01
Speaker 2: your own transport, all your own resources. And of course
41:06
Speaker 2: for most people, not for the US basketball team, they're
41:09
Speaker 2: all staying in very high end hotels as you can
41:11
Speaker 2: imagine Lebron and Steph Curry. But for your average shot
41:14
Speaker 2: Twitter or discuss throw or whatever, you're basically on your own.
41:17
Speaker 2: If you leave the athletes, you.
41:18
Speaker 4: Wouldn't be able to find a room right now, No.
41:21
Speaker 1: Having a pretty penny for it. I mean, it is
41:24
Speaker 1: just ridiculous.
41:25
Speaker 5: And as Joe Hildebrand pointed out, and sitting here last
41:28
Speaker 5: night on the Sunday Showdown, and there are athletes now
41:31
Speaker 5: that are going out and buying mattresses to put on
41:34
Speaker 5: top of their cardboard beds.
41:37
Speaker 1: So how good is that for the planet that of.
41:39
Speaker 5: Course, you know, they didn't get a bed that was
41:41
Speaker 5: any good. So now you've got people going out and
41:44
Speaker 5: buying a mattress that they're going to use for two
41:46
Speaker 5: weeks and then chuck away and all the plastic that
41:49
Speaker 5: it came wrapped in, and they reckon that by doing
41:52
Speaker 5: all of this, they're doing a good thing for the
41:54
Speaker 5: planet wasting with all of these complaints.
41:57
Speaker 2: Do you know how much money they spent on the
41:58
Speaker 2: athlete skill? One point six billion dollars one point six
42:02
Speaker 2: billion dollars, No for a litany of complaints, no air.
42:05
Speaker 5: Conditioning, vegan food and cardboard bids. I'll tell you what
42:09
Speaker 5: it sounds like. The Australian government building social housing, doesn't.
42:12
Speaker 5: Let's go to the Australians borrow where it's is. World
42:16
Speaker 5: leading state deficits, threaten inflation fight, say economists. Big spending
42:20
Speaker 5: state and territory governments are recording some of the highest
42:23
Speaker 5: deficits in the developed world, with economists saying the blowout
42:27
Speaker 5: in public spending is undermining the Reserve Bank's efforts to
42:31
Speaker 5: tame high inflation.
42:33
Speaker 1: What a surprise. We could have.
42:35
Speaker 5: All seen this coming, and we already knew that Victoria
42:38
Speaker 5: was one of the most indebted jurisdictions in the world
42:42
Speaker 5: per capita. Why have I get the fine balancing Act
42:47
Speaker 5: that governments want to be able to provide some sort
42:51
Speaker 5: of cost of living relief because they feel like it's
42:53
Speaker 5: electoral poison if they don't do something, but by doing
42:57
Speaker 5: so they actually add more fuel to the fire.
43:00
Speaker 1: Surely the best cost.
43:01
Speaker 5: Of living relief they could provide is to say we're
43:03
Speaker 5: going to have a period of austerity. By doing so,
43:06
Speaker 5: we are going to very quickly correct the bad course
43:09
Speaker 5: we are going down, and then after that we'll be
43:12
Speaker 5: back to normal.
43:13
Speaker 2: Economist Chris Richardson has quoted in this article saying that
43:16
Speaker 2: if you take into account the Stage three tax cuts
43:19
Speaker 2: plus federal and state spending in the last financial year,
43:23
Speaker 2: governments have pumped forty six billion dollars into the economy.
43:27
Speaker 2: That's about two percent of the economy has been pumped
43:30
Speaker 2: in during a time of high inflation. And then you've
43:33
Speaker 2: got Jim Chalmers quoted in the same articles say it's
43:35
Speaker 2: ridiculous that any government actions have contributed to inflation.
43:39
Speaker 3: I mean it's government actions alone, basically Odessey, who've contributed
43:46
Speaker 3: to inflation. It is fueled by, as stated in the OS,
43:50
Speaker 3: public infrastructure spending and a waning appetite for budget repair.
43:56
Speaker 4: So again, have we lost.
43:58
Speaker 3: Our capacity to just tighten our belts for a bit? Well,
44:02
Speaker 3: and when you look at where we're talking about, debt
44:06
Speaker 3: piles are set to triple from pre pandemic levels to
44:10
Speaker 3: seven hundred and fifty billion by mid twenty twenty seven.
44:13
Speaker 4: We can avoid that if our.
44:16
Speaker 3: Governments will simply say we're in a massive bind. We
44:19
Speaker 3: are all tightening our belts. Less spending is going to
44:23
Speaker 3: be happening. Even infrastructure projects are going to be on
44:26
Speaker 3: hold for a bit until we're back in black, because
44:29
Speaker 3: right now we are just going to be digging ourselves
44:32
Speaker 3: a hole that we can never get out of.
44:33
Speaker 5: And the reality is we'll have to repay it at
44:35
Speaker 5: some point. And when that time comes, James, you'll probably
44:38
Speaker 5: be six feet under, but Liz and I will be
44:40
Speaker 5: here to clean up the mists that your generation.
44:43
Speaker 2: That's why I'm so much happier and more optimistic about life.
44:45
Speaker 1: Exactly asy.
44:46
Speaker 2: Life's breezy now.
44:47
Speaker 5: The story in the front of the eyes tomorrow. No
44:49
Speaker 5: stopping boats if you stop looking. This is straight out
44:52
Speaker 5: of the Palichet playbook. You know, if we just change
44:55
Speaker 5: the rules about youth crime and then there's no youth crime.
44:57
Speaker 5: Surveillance flights to detect a legal boat rivals off Australia's
45:01
Speaker 5: northwest coast have sunk by twenty two percent in two years,
45:04
Speaker 5: a bit of surge in people smuggling voyagers, presenting a
45:08
Speaker 5: major challenge for incoming Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke. I
45:12
Speaker 5: think we all sort of suspected this was perhaps what
45:14
Speaker 5: was going on, because we know that boats have actually
45:17
Speaker 5: reached the shore in the last year or so. We've
45:20
Speaker 5: turned a few back but sent them back with speed
45:23
Speaker 5: boats that they can then take back to Indonesia.
45:25
Speaker 1: To bring more people back to Australia.
45:28
Speaker 5: Why would you be reducing the number of flights you're
45:31
Speaker 5: doing out there to monitor the waters, because surely.
45:34
Speaker 1: The government can realize that.
45:36
Speaker 5: You know, you look back to rud Gillard and how
45:39
Speaker 5: badly open borders essentially on the coast played for them,
45:43
Speaker 5: then this should be top priority.
45:45
Speaker 2: Well, nineteen boats since labor came into power, three of
45:48
Speaker 2: which reached Australia, and you find out that they've actually
45:52
Speaker 2: they're actually not looking as hard as they used to
45:55
Speaker 2: look while claiming that this is a top priority.
45:58
Speaker 1: Seems ridiculous. Now that's story on the front of the OS.
46:00
Speaker 5: Very quickly pmwas on REX crisis, ways in on rex crisis.
46:04
Speaker 5: Rex Airlines is on the brink of collapse after losing
46:07
Speaker 5: close for a million dollars a week on its ambition
46:10
Speaker 5: ambitious expansion into major city roots, with its potential demise
46:14
Speaker 5: set to devastate regional transport links across Australia. And it's
46:17
Speaker 5: a great shame because I really hope that Rex would
46:20
Speaker 5: help open up the market and break the duopoli of
46:23
Speaker 5: Virgin and Quantus, but it would seem once again that
46:26
Speaker 5: you just cannot break that due offera.
46:29
Speaker 2: Absolutely well, we're going to go to a break when
46:31
Speaker 2: we come back making fun of global elites. You'll enjoy it.
46:33
Speaker 2: It's coming up in this the moment. Welcome back. Well,
46:38
Speaker 2: at least at least one am I calling you a
46:40
Speaker 2: list Liz, I have a new name. Most of us
46:42
Speaker 2: don't like the global elites, but some like them even
46:45
Speaker 2: less than we do. Alice.
46:46
Speaker 3: Indeed, legendary singer Morrissey, who needs no introduction but for
46:51
Speaker 3: the uninitiated, is a very famous singer who hails from
46:55
Speaker 3: the UK. He was performing in Las Vegas and took
47:00
Speaker 3: the opportunity. While he was singing his song Crashing Bores,
47:03
Speaker 3: which is somewhat concerning criminality, took the time to use
47:08
Speaker 3: as his backdrop very familiar faces who you will recognize.
47:12
Speaker 3: So there he was singing about criminality while pointing at
47:16
Speaker 3: these guys.
47:16
Speaker 9: Check it out.
47:37
Speaker 3: The montage included Carl schwamb which you.
47:40
Speaker 9: Just saw up there.
47:41
Speaker 3: Anthony Fauci also got a glimpse of him, but you're
47:44
Speaker 3: missed out on Bill Gates. So it was the Evil Trio.
47:48
Speaker 3: I knew I was a Morrissey fan, but now I'm
47:51
Speaker 3: like hardcore fan.
47:53
Speaker 4: This guy's red pilled.
47:54
Speaker 1: I love it.
47:55
Speaker 5: But it's amazing, isn't it that when you see someone
47:59
Speaker 5: and entertainer like go against the lefty grave.
48:01
Speaker 1: He's like, Oh my god, I can't believe this is real.
48:04
Speaker 1: How is this happening? Right tells you a little bit
48:07
Speaker 1: about where we are before we go.
48:09
Speaker 5: Look, this is a very long story, but I'm going
48:11
Speaker 5: to try and truncate it as much as possible for
48:14
Speaker 5: you because I love it so much. A bloke by
48:15
Speaker 5: the name of Michael Pascal. He flew from.
48:18
Speaker 1: Brisbane to Sydney, then he flew to.
48:21
Speaker 5: Paris via Colombo. His luggage got lost in Brisbane. They
48:26
Speaker 5: found it in Brisbane, then they tried to send it
48:28
Speaker 5: to him in France, but then I got lost in
48:30
Speaker 5: London again.
48:30
Speaker 1: Long story short, his luggage never got to him.
48:33
Speaker 5: He went through a three year fight, through two courts
48:37
Speaker 5: and a tribunal to finally get three thousand dollars in
48:42
Speaker 5: compensation for his luggage being lost.
48:45
Speaker 1: The thing I love about this the most.
48:47
Speaker 5: Is that a weaker man would have given up and
48:49
Speaker 5: just cut their losses and you can see him despond
48:52
Speaker 5: it in the airport, would have cut his losses and gone, well,
48:55
Speaker 5: I'm never seeing my luggage again. He fought it for
48:58
Speaker 5: three years too, the name to the bitter end to
49:01
Speaker 5: get his money. That's what has made Australia great. We
49:05
Speaker 5: need more Michaels Pascals in this.
49:08
Speaker 2: If he was in charge of the borders, we would
49:10
Speaker 2: have no drains. That's it from us, But stick around
49:13
Speaker 2: and coming up is The Reader Penney Show.
