  Speaker 1: On skorlus Oscodia.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: This is the Wader Panalty Show.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the readA Panety show coming
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: up tonight. Anthony Alberizi refuses to expel rogue senator for
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: team of payman parents outrage as children are forced to
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: sing an indigenous national anthem. I'll speak with a young
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: female journalist who spent a scary night in the streets
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: of what used to be the world's most livable city,
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: and Army Horowitz with the latest from the US and
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: plenty of lefties losing it. I, on the other hand,
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: have chosen to live a life public service, but I
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: am all for it.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: I even get yours if that's what you want.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Joining me now is Deputy Director of the Institute of
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Public Affairs Daniel Wilde.
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: Dan, let's start with the Prime Minister.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: He's continuing to wage war against the Coalition for their
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: nuclear energy policies, seizing on the fact that smaller liberals,
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: those feckless state leaders are not backing Peter Dutton's nuclear strategy.
• 1:10
  Speaker 6: New South Wales opposition leader. We can't wait for nuclear
• 1:14
  Speaker 6: Victorian Opposition leader. There are prohibitions in place, so I'm
• 1:17
  Speaker 6: not racing along the nuclear path, Victoria NATS leader, you
• 1:21
  Speaker 6: wouldn't be surprised at our view is exactly the same
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: as John Perzuto, Queen's leader.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I've been very.
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: Consistent with it. Nuclear is not planning in Queensland. I
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: hate to state be obvious, but they've just said that.
• 1:35
  Speaker 6: David Christopher Ley, Peter Walsh, John Persuito, Marke Speakman, Shane
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: Love and Guy Barnett are really relevant. Well, they are
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: as far as their plan is concerned, because their plan
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: is friendless amongst their own people, amongst the Business Committee
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: and amongst anyone in the energy sector.
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: Well, I'll tell you the Prime Minister has a point here.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: When you've got liberal leaders being directtionless, being obstructionist, completely
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: having no sense of what's needed in this country. It's
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: not like they're actually entering their debate with ideas of
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: their own that are constructive. It's just a no to
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: something that is a proven technology that works elsewhere in
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: the world beautifully. And again I keep saying it, we
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: are sitting on the world's biggest reserves of uranium in
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: this country.
• 2:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you're right, And I think what Anthony Albernezi said
• 2:28
  Speaker 7: then doesn't give him the conclusion that he intends, because
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: it shows that Peter Dutton is a leader and the
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: State Liberals are not leaders. And if you look at
• 2:38
  Speaker 7: what he's saying that the energy companies don't want it
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: in the business community doesn't want it, and the political
• 2:42
  Speaker 7: class doesn't want it, okay, but the Australian people want it.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: So again it shows that there's a.
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: Dichotomy between the political class and the interests of the elites.
• 2:50
  Speaker 7: Who back renewed was because of the financial incentives and
• 2:54
  Speaker 7: the ideological component, but they won't support nuclear, or at
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: least not yet.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: And I think also the overreach we've.
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: Seen in response to the coalition's plan is revealing. Because
• 3:06
  Speaker 7: the government knows that their own policy is failing. Energy
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: bills are going up, blackout risks going up.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: The only thing.
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: They have to talk about is Peter Dutton's plan, not
• 3:15
  Speaker 7: their own failing plan.
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: No.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: And you look at some of Chris Bowen's commentary, some
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: of the statements is putting out on social media. You
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: really struggle to see how you can be the energy minister,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: the climate change minister. It sounds like some first year
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: art student who's grappling with this issue. I really worry
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: about because we are facing the real prospect of running
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: out of gas yep.
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: And I think this will be similar to the Voice debate,
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: which is the Government is not going to be able
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: to make an argument to the Australian people because they're
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: going to be caught short. Australians don't want net zero,
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: they don't want to pay for net zero. This renewable
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: is only renewables everywhere policy is being rejected by red Australians,
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: and with very very good reason because the impact on
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: their life and as you sort of alluding to, the
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: Energy Minister simply cannot sustain a meaningful argument in public,
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: instead resorting to basically name calling. So the more Australian
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: see of this, the more they'll turn against the government's policies.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: His antics are getting more desperate, I can tell you
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: on social media he's tweeting out Guardian articles. You know
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: you're scraping in the bottom of the barrel when you've
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: got a resort to Guardian articles. Now let's look at Labor,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: who normally do have great party discipline, unlike the Liberals
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: who are a broad church, too broad if you ask me.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: But the PM is terrified of a millennial in a hijab,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: A young Muslim senator from WA for team of Payman,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: who is the first federal Labor politician to cross the
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: floor in eighteen years. She voted against the government on
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: a Greens motion recognizing the statehood of Palestine.
• 4:57
  Speaker 8: I was not elected as a token representa of diversity.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: I was elected to serve the people of Western.
• 5:04
  Speaker 8: Australia and uphold the values instilled in me by my
• 5:08
  Speaker 8: late father. Today I have made a decision that would
• 5:12
  Speaker 8: make him proud and make everyone proud who are on
• 5:16
  Speaker 8: the side of humanity.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: I've got to say this is profoundly weak by the
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: pm DAN. We know why he needs those voters in
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: those seats in Western Sydney. We know they're very energized
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: by this issue. But this set's a precedent. And what's
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: the going to stop the next Labor senator who feel
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: strongly about an issue defying the party and crossing the floor.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's a couple of things. I mean said it.
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: A Payment is a lightweight who she's barely able to
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: defend her position in any sort of coherent manner.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: There.
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: You're right to say that this reinforces the Prime Minister
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: is weak. Basically, you've got the Palestinian wing of the
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: Labor Party that is essentially running government policy because as
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: you say, there's a handful of seats in mostly Western
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: Sydney with twenty or thirty percent Islamic population, and rather
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: actually leading the community to something better, they've capitulated to
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: these very extremist demands. It's not surprising that Anthony Alberanezi
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: has failed to provide leadership on this issue because it's
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: a pattern of repeated behavior and I think a lot
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: of Australians are concerned of the division and the lack
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: of social cohesion we're seeing in our community on this
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: very issue.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Now, I want to talk about Julie Inman Grant, the
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: East Safety Commissioner. She's a complaint to the ABC during
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: a radio interview about the nickname we've coined for her
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: on this program and others like it. I'm sure you
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: don't watch Going News at Nate, but I'm they're punching
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: bag pretty much every night.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: They referred to me as E Karen, Oh dear.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, what a Karen thing to do for the
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: E Karen to go on the ABC and complain about
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: being called an e Karen, and I mean.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: Please, but playing the victim given some.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Of the outrageous rulings she has instituted, some of the
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: absolutely mainstream views she are sought to censor, including the
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: notion that men can't breastfeed. I would have thought that
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: was a fairly obvious logical take.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Well, that's right, and this is the issue.
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: There are some laudable objectives that Julian Manngrand talks about
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: protecting children, getting rid of child exploitation material and so forth,
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: which we all agree with and are not contested propositions.
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: The problem is that she has a history of activism,
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: ideologically driven activism, not about protecting children, but about censoring speech,
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: not just in Australia but globally. The whole reason she
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: wanted to take down the stabbing of the bishop in
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: Western Sydney wasn't to do with protecting children from that content.
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: Is because she and her overlords in the Albanese government
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: didn't want the community to see the collapsing social cohesion
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: and the failure of our migration policy. So it was
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: an attempt to CeNSE a debate. We've seen it with
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: the Voice to Parliament. We've seen it with issues pertaining
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: to gender, So if she wants to be respected.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Throughout the COVID crisis had not just very sane views
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: censored or shadow band suppressed, but voices of experts leading
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: into national infectious disease experts who were questioning some of
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: these rulings that we were told is the science, and
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: they were censored. And I would argue that was destructive
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: in a number of ways, including preventing decent policy, preventing
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: best policy, and could have possibly cost lives.
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: Well, it was censored by government, big tech and also
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: by the ABC. The ABC wouldn't have a debate about
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: lockdowns or any other facet of the responsive governments. And
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: this is why the issue with the E Safety Commissioners.
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: It started as the Children's E Safety Commissioner, it metastasized
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: due to this bureaucratic growth. There's no democratic oversight. The
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: E Safety Commissioner has become a law and to herself
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: and you need to retain it into the original objectives,
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: which is actually to get rid of unlawful and child
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: exploitation material rather than censoring opinion.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Now to Yarraville West Primary School in Melbourne, there has
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: been outrage amongst parents because children were made to sing
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: alternative Indigenous national anthem.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: We don't have an Indigenous national anthem as far as
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: This is the music of our national anthem, but with
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: the lyrics change, so you've got things like and honoring
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: the Dreaming Advance Australia.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Fair.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Do we really want to have separate anthems, separate flags,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: separate recognition based on race?
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: Do we not just have a referendum on this very issue?
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Well, that's right.
• 9:49
  Speaker 7: I think Australians wake up every day and we see
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: whether it's this, whether it's in Victoria, there's still work
• 9:54
  Speaker 7: towards a treaty. In South Australia, they've got a state
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: voice to Parliament. We're seen in Queensland in regards to
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: kepel Ireland and other issues with native title. We voted
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: no to this. Australians voted no to racial division. They've
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: had a gupful of being divided by the elites. I
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: think the principal and anyone else involved in this at
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: this school should be dismissed immediately.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Because politicization clearly, I mean, this is not how do
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: you justify this other than to say this is what they.
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: Believe is morally right as a political.
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: Position that they believe Australia is a bad racist country
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: and as loon as if there's no discussion of our
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: history and indigenous affairs within that you know, it's almost
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: talked about incessantly. So look, this needs to be dealt
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: with very quickly and as I say, serious consequences for
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: those involved.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Now, the flag is another thing we've got to talk
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: about because we see the Prime Minister, we see as ministers.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Every time they speak you can barely see the Australian flag.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: There seem to be so many flags behind them. I
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: think that's something else that is just needlessly divisive. Now
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: this is from the UK. I had to check with
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: to see if it was April one. Surely this couldn't be.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: Real, but sadly it is.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Academics from a museum in Oxford will be using British
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: taxpayer money to research the politics of milk and its
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: colonial legacies. Yes, one of the experts is previously insisted
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: milk is a Northern European obsession and has been imposed
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: on other parts of the world. Apparently the assumption that
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: milk is a key part of the human diet may
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: be understood as a white supremacist one. Obviously that's a
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: quote format. Doctor Johanna zettastorm Sharp. Her new project Milking It, Colonialism,
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Heritage and Everyday Engagement with Derry has one funding from
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: the Arts and Humanities Research Council. So Dan is milk racist?
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: I mean it is often white that troubles me.
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: Well, there's certainly milking taxpayers, we can.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Safely conclude that.
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: But it does go to this issue reader, which is
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: racism is now a trope. You know, it means everything
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: and it means nothing. Practically everything now is considered to
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: be racist. It has diminished the actual meaning of the
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: term and I think a lot of Australians when they
• 12:19
  Speaker 7: hear that term now basically tune out because it's so
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: widely used. And of course this is a taxpayer funded undertaking.
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: So look, it's just another example of I think how
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: academia and universities have lost their way and many people
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: are just tuning out.
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: From it now.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: To the UK staying there, Nigel Farage, he's a party
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Reform Party is one point ahead of the Conservatives. He's
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: sitting on nineteen percent. He was on gb News Breakfast
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: talking about immigration when behind him a boat full of
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: illegal immigrants could be seen making their way to Britain.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: We are literally mid channel now between Dover and Calais
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: and behind me you can see a white dinghy. There
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: are forty five people on board. Behind it you can
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: see an escort vessel. Because that's what the French do.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Despite the five hundred million quick we've given them, they
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: literally once these boats are afloat, it's thort them to
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: our twelve mile line while they hand them over to Borderforce.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: I tell you, he is just a master of exposing
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: the issues that people care about and doing it in
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: ways that speak to people who are not even politically engaged.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: But there's a reason why he's got such support and
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: the Tories are absolutely circling the train. They went to
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: elections promising that they were going to slash immigration to
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: tens of thousands per annum.
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: It was around a million last year.
• 13:48
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean Nigel Ferras has given a voice to
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: the voiceless. Without him, Brexit would not have happened. That
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: was one of the single biggest political upheavals we've seen
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: in a generation.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: He has provided a debate.
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: There's now actually a debate in the UK about net zero,
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: about migration, about the collapse of their culture. I would
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: rather the Tories have fixed themselves up and delivered, particularly
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: when Boris Johnson he had a once in a generational
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: opportunity to realign the Conservative Party with the working class
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: Britons who voted for Brexit, but he let the team down.
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: And it's basically been fourteen years of failure by the Tories.
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: So no wonder their polls are going down and farages
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: are going up. So look, I think that the monumental
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: contribution of Farrage has been making sure there's a debate
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: and giving voice to millions who don't see their views
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: or values in the major political parties.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: And I think he's looking at this as a two
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: election strategy. He just wants to be in a strong
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: position after this race and then to really bring in
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: those disaffected Tories, the MPs, the base and have a
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: new Conservative Party that actually stands for something. At Dan Wild,
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: thank you so much for your time to seeing Thank
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: you joining me now is Stephanie Bastian, research fellow for
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: the Women's Forum. Last week, the Victorian Liberals sided with
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Labor against the cross Bench to pass a bill that
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: gives the Minister for Local Government the power to sack
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: democratically elected councilors at a time where conservative female counselors
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: are being harassed and vilified. Only two conservative women didn't
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: vote for this bill, Moira Deeming and Beth MacArthur, who
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: gave a passionate speech against the motion.
• 15:31
  Speaker 10: The victimization of counselors in Victoria. The victims I'm aware
• 15:36
  Speaker 10: of are mostly women, conservative women, but I'm not convinced
• 15:40
  Speaker 10: this is a sex based division. Sadly, some of the
• 15:43
  Speaker 10: most enthusiastic bullies of women. The motivation seems to be political.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Stephanie, how hopeless other Victorian lives. This is a rare
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: chance they had to stop some bad legislation. The crossbenchers
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: were against this, and yet they teamed up with Labor
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: to pass it.
• 16:03
  Speaker 11: This piece of legislation is the most undemocratic bill I
• 16:06
  Speaker 11: have seen since Daniel Andrews passed his ominious COVID health bill.
• 16:11
  Speaker 11: It is so disappointing because we know the arbitration process
• 16:14
  Speaker 11: that has been used to silence counselors, particularly those who
• 16:19
  Speaker 11: are perhaps conservative, who are women talking about sex based issues,
• 16:22
  Speaker 11: or liberals in labor dominated councils, the process is being
• 16:26
  Speaker 11: weaponized to silence them. You telling me that if a
• 16:30
  Speaker 11: labor dominated council recommends to the Labor Minister for Local
• 16:35
  Speaker 11: Government that a councilor should be sacked, he's going to decline.
• 16:39
  Speaker 11: I mean, seriously, it is so frustrating that the Liberals
• 16:42
  Speaker 11: didn't take the opportunity to side with the Crossbench and
• 16:46
  Speaker 11: vote down this horrendous piece of legislation. I really feel
• 16:49
  Speaker 11: for the counselors, particularly the women, and particularly Liberals who
• 16:53
  Speaker 11: will be feeling very betrayed by this.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Now, actor David Tenant apparently he is doctor who I've
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: never watched that series. He wants conservative MP Kemmy baden
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Knock to know her place and not exist anymore and
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: keep quiet. Why because she has some very pro female views.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: She does not believe men should be in female spaces,
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: she does not believe children should be given drugs and
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: treatments to change their gender. And for arguing against the
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: likes of Kemmy, David has won a prize and here
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: is his speech.
• 17:33
  Speaker 11: We shouldn't live in a world where that is worth
• 17:36
  Speaker 11: remarking on.
• 17:38
  Speaker 10: However, until we wake up and Kemmy Badenock doesn't exist anymore.
• 17:48
  Speaker 12: I don't wish ell of her.
• 17:50
  Speaker 13: I just wish her to shut up.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Kemmy Badenknock has responded to that on X She has written,
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: I will not shut up. I will not be silenced
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: by men who prioritize applause from stone Wall over the
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: safety of women and girls. A rich, lefty white mouse
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: celebrity is so blinded by ideology he can't see the
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: optics of attacking the only black women in government by
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: calling publicly for my existence to end. She makes an
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: excellent point there, Stephanie, how do you see this clash?
• 18:27
  Speaker 11: I think his comments were vile and disgusting and he
• 18:30
  Speaker 11: should absolutely apologize. If he had made those comments to
• 18:34
  Speaker 11: anyone else will be Goldberg, for example, they would be
• 18:37
  Speaker 11: yelling out that he was being racist, misogynist, inciting violence.
• 18:42
  Speaker 11: But because Kemy is the wrong sort of woman, somehow
• 18:45
  Speaker 11: it's okay. I think David should go and speak to
• 18:49
  Speaker 11: some of the women who've been victims of this gender ideology.
• 18:51
  Speaker 11: There is a reason the UK banned men transferring into
• 18:54
  Speaker 11: women's prisons or into hospital because women were being sexually
• 18:57
  Speaker 11: assaulted by male predators who identified as were, So if
• 19:00
  Speaker 11: I were David, I would go and speak to some
• 19:02
  Speaker 11: of those victims and then give a public apology to Kemi.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: I think he needs to do more than a public apology.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Some of his viewpoints on this are just so extreme, Stephanie,
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: you really wonder what's happening in the entertainment world. But
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: as you saw there, he's getting awards for it, so
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: this is rewarded.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: While someone like JK.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Rowling they demonize as a bigot for stating very much
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: mainstream views.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: Now, one of my.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: Favorite writers and broadcasters is also a comic. Andrew Doyle
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: has written a fantastic piece for Spiked magazine urging gay
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: people to turn their backs on Pride. He says pride
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: has transformed from an important act of resistance into a
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: month long orgy of corporatism virtue signaling full of heterosexuals
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: desperate to identify themselves into an oppressed group with the
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: help of trans ida theology. A poll from twenty twenty
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: one determined that almost forty percent of Americans between the
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: ages of eighteen and twenty four now identify as LGBTQ.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: Given the vast majority identifying as such do so as
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: trans non binary and queer. This means it is statistically
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: certain that gay people are now the minority in this coalition.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: The early pioneers of gay rights didn't risk so much
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: for their movement to be You're served by fetishists, heterosexuals
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: with a martyr complex. So he's got away with words.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: I've got to say, there is definitely seventy a split
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: appearing among some members of the LGBTQIA plus plus community.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: And you've got those first three letters and some members
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: who identify as those first three letters wanting to distance
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: themselves from the remainder of the expanding group.
• 20:56
  Speaker 11: Absolutely, I think this movement has been hijacked by activists.
• 21:00
  Speaker 11: It's no longer about equal rights and acceptance. They are
• 21:05
  Speaker 11: running a radical gender ideology that's incredibly harmful. Kids who
• 21:09
  Speaker 11: don't subscribe to typical gender stereotypes such as masculine and
• 21:13
  Speaker 11: femininity are told they're born in the wrong body.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Men in their.
• 21:17
  Speaker 11: Fifties are saying they're born in the wrong body and
• 21:19
  Speaker 11: they're now lesbians. I mean, they are losing their rights.
• 21:22
  Speaker 11: There's no room for discussion or debate. You're either an
• 21:25
  Speaker 11: ally or you're the enemy. And I think it's causing
• 21:28
  Speaker 11: enormous harm, particularly in the LGB movement. The LGB without
• 21:34
  Speaker 11: the T you can see why there is a push
• 21:37
  Speaker 11: push away. Reasonable minded people are abandoning this more and
• 21:40
  Speaker 11: more increasingly, particularly as the Pride movement gets more and
• 21:44
  Speaker 11: more extreme.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: And it's hard to argue that this is an oppressed
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: group in the West where you've got every corporate, every institution,
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: the celebrity.
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: Class, the activist class, everyone push this agenda.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: So this whole notion that this is an oppressed, underrepresented group,
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: I think is something else that needs to be debated.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: Seventy Bastion, thank you so much for your time this evening.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: Thank you reader still to come. Left is Losing it
• 22:16

• 22:34
  Speaker 5: Welcome back.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Now it's time for lefties losing and and.
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: I regret to inform you that the.

  Speaker 12: the queer and trans.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: People of color.
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: The queer and trans people of color.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: I can just imagine the bewildered toddlers watching that.
• 23:18
  Speaker 10: Now.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: You know, we can never go too long in this
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: segment without featuring the work of the ladies of the view.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: Each and every episode showcases just how broken the hosts are,
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: including the alpha female of the pack, Whoopee, who could
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: not even bring herself to say Trump's name without spitting gross.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: I think it would be.
• 23:42
  Speaker 14: Remiss of us to not say Joe Biden knows how
• 23:46
  Speaker 14: to do this. Yes, he knows how to do this.
• 23:48
  Speaker 14: He's he's quite good at this. And you know you
• 23:52
  Speaker 14: can't refute anything with him because he just when I
• 23:55
  Speaker 14: say him, I mean Trump, he tends to.
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: Just can I mention one day?
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: Ah, They're so bitter, broken and miserable. I'm not sure
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: why that makes me smile, but it does. But this
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: next clip is no laughing matter. It should fill you
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: with fear. This is Andalae nick Tama, who has just
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: been sworn in as a member of Parliament in South Africa,
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: and let's have a look at some of his earlier
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: work calling for the revenge killing of white people. The
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: murder of white South African men, women and children.
• 24:39
  Speaker 12: Were we killed the humor were killed out bobs.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: We now to a clip showing a woman in Muslim
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: garb encouraging a couple of Western girls to give the
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: veil a go.
• 25:03
  Speaker 9: So can you.
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: More Yes, what a transformation. I wonder how you.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Would go if you took a couple of shorts and
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: crop tops to Afghanistan and encourage the local women there
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: to try it on for a cultural enrichment. Let's not
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: forget women in countries like Iran are risking their lives
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: fighting against compulsory hijab.
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: Now another profound.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Bit of communication from the veep here, Kamala Harris explains
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: community banks.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: So the importance of community banks is they are as
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: they are called, they're in the community, led by members
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: of the community. They are people who understand the capacity
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: of the community, the needs of the community, the culture
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: of the community.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: Did you get that community banks are banks and they're
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: also in the community.
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: Quite profound there.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: Let's have some more financial advice from the woman one
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: geriatric heartbeat away from the Oval office.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: To aspire to create wealth is a good thing as
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: far as I'm concerned. If that is what one chooses. I,
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: on the other hand, have chosen to live a life
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: public services. But I am all for it if you
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: get yours, if that's what you want.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: Hilarious that public service, none of it good. Has seen
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: Kamala Harris accumulate a net worth somewhere between seven and
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: fifteen million, according to media reports. Now let's go to
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: some local lefties losing and here are the climate cultis
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: to think they are saving the world one blockade, one
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: foolish protest at a time.
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: And they've also started singing.
• 27:03
  Speaker 15: Stop in the name of life, before we break gapard
• 27:10
  Speaker 15: start up in the name of life. This our last
• 27:16
  Speaker 15: chance before this crammy is killing us. Chossyola, this is
• 27:22
  Speaker 15: called is killing us.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Stop who wow wow, before you mock us In Australia
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: too much. The Yanks have plenty of climate cranks of
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: their own. In recent days, they've managed to disrupt a
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: golf tournament and a congressional baseball game.
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: Just watch these soy boys and girls go.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: The latest scare campaign they're running against Trump is to
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: have a bunch of activist economists suggest Trump's presidency.
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: Could be disastrous for the US economy. And the world.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: This is the same scam mangering Missaul before two thousand
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: and six day. Do they think the American people have
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: mass amnesia? Let's hear from a woman I did not
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: expect to be backing Trump. ARC invest founder Kathy.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Wood Trump Robiden.
• 28:48
  Speaker 13: So, as I've said to my children, So have two
• 28:52
  Speaker 13: girls and a boy, and they're split on this. As
• 28:56
  Speaker 13: I've said to them, look, I am going to vote
• 29:00
  Speaker 13: for the person who's going to do the best job
• 29:04
  Speaker 13: for our economy. I am a voter when it comes
• 29:07
  Speaker 13: to economics, and on that basis Trump I mean, yeah, if.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: So.
• 29:18
  Speaker 13: Art Laffer describes the first three years of the Trump
• 29:22
  Speaker 13: presidency as the best in US economic history, not the
• 29:27
  Speaker 13: last one because of COVID, but and I would agree. Wow,
• 29:32
  Speaker 13: and I went through economics too.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: The first three years of the Trump economy were the
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: best in US history.
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: That was the quote. Very interesting.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: Also interesting is the realization for many on the left,
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: including Trump deranged media types like Bill Maher, that the
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: lawfare the Democrats have engaged in to convict Trump on
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: nonsense charges has backfired.
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: Here is Bill.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Maher with former New York Governor Andrew Tumo, Democrat. Naturally
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: confirming what we've been saying all along. These chargers would
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: have never been manufactured if Trump wasn't running.
• 30:10
  Speaker 9: The trial in New York, the one he got convicted
• 30:13
  Speaker 9: for was the greatest fundraising bonanzaver is. Now he was
• 30:18
  Speaker 9: lagging behind Biden, and now he's pulled quite a bit ahead.
• 30:21
  Speaker 9: That trial was the greatest reason people had to send
• 30:26
  Speaker 9: their checks for five, ten, twenty five whatever dollars to
• 30:30
  Speaker 9: Donald Trump. So I was always with you on the
• 30:33
  Speaker 9: one in New York, the hush money trial. I don't
• 30:35
  Speaker 9: think they should have brought that one. It was just
• 30:37
  Speaker 9: always going to look like a sex case and people
• 30:39
  Speaker 9: were always just going to look at it that way.
• 30:42
  Speaker 16: So anyway, that case, the attorney general's case in New York, frankly,
• 30:45
  Speaker 16: should have never been brought. And if his name was
• 30:48
  Speaker 16: not Donald Trump, and if he wasn't running for president,
• 30:51
  Speaker 16: I'm the former agent in New York. I'm telling you
• 30:54
  Speaker 16: that case would have never been brought. And that's what
• 30:56
  Speaker 16: is offensive to people, and it should be because if
• 31:01
  Speaker 16: there's anything left, it's belief in the justice.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: Sym Joining me now is journalists and filmmaker Army Horowitz.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: Army the front page of the New York Post says
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: it all betrayal. There is Alvin Bragg there who has
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: dropped charges against anti Israeli activists who rampaged at Columbia University.
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: The New York district.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: Attorney who brought Donald Trump to trial is letting the
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: violent processes of Scott Free and Army.
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: I would say this sets a dangerous precedent.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: Is it okay to aggressively harass and intimidate Jewish people
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: in New York these days?
• 31:41
  Speaker 12: Yeah, this is a disgusting betrayal. And I'm not even
• 31:45
  Speaker 12: the least bit surprised. Unfortunately, this is Derah Gore for
• 31:49
  Speaker 12: what's happening in our blue cities. When people attack Jews,
• 31:53
  Speaker 12: it's fine, It's open season when it comes to the
• 31:55
  Speaker 12: harassment of Jews. Look, this has been I was with
• 31:59
  Speaker 12: this Columbia protesters. I did videos with them, I spent
• 32:02
  Speaker 12: hours with them. They were aggressive, they were nasty, they
• 32:06
  Speaker 12: were physical, they were literally physically intimidating Jewish students from
• 32:10
  Speaker 12: attending classes before any arrest happened whatsoever. And look I
• 32:16
  Speaker 12: helped to remind you we talked about the show before.
• 32:18
  Speaker 12: When I went and I took out the American flag
• 32:21
  Speaker 12: at a public campus, and I paid taxes for When
• 32:25
  Speaker 12: I was attacked aggressively by these protesters, I was attained,
• 32:31
  Speaker 12: not anybody who attacked me, who beat me. And when
• 32:34
  Speaker 12: I was detained, I was talking to the police and
• 32:35
  Speaker 12: why would why am I under arrest? They said, well,
• 32:38
  Speaker 12: we have a mandate from above. Of course we'll talking
• 32:40
  Speaker 12: about Alvin Bragg, of course talking about the mayor. This
• 32:42
  Speaker 12: is the situation we have in New York. And of
• 32:45
  Speaker 12: course if you don't fight back against these people, you're
• 32:47
  Speaker 12: going to get more of this. Right, That's what we
• 32:49
  Speaker 12: saw in the synagogue in California, and they stopped Jews
• 32:53
  Speaker 12: from entering synagogues because they know it's open season that
• 32:56
  Speaker 12: it's fine.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: Well, it seems to be an issue that goes beyond
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: these protests. We've seen violent criminals who are released again
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: and again, whilst you've got brag preoccupied with this nonsense
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: with Trump. Now that's out of the way, but it
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: seems that philosophy of not putting people in jail when
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: they commit violent offenses is continuing in New York. Is
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: there going to be any change in that? Is there
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: any sort of uprising from the local population there who
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: are sick of the crime rate.
• 33:35
  Speaker 12: Yeah, no, people see. This is what we are finding
• 33:38
  Speaker 12: is that people when they are even if they are
• 33:40
  Speaker 12: left of center, right and they're Democrats, when they're confronted
• 33:43
  Speaker 12: with reality, they in fact do start to show their discomfort.
• 33:50
  Speaker 12: You know, I think you're now seeing in the polls
• 33:52
  Speaker 12: across the country where in states where Democrats have dominated,
• 33:57
  Speaker 12: right in Virginia where Republican hasn't won over twenty years,
• 34:01
  Speaker 12: in Minnesota republic has on over fifteen years, right in
• 34:04
  Speaker 12: New York state, or Republican hasn't won also in over
• 34:07
  Speaker 12: twenty five years, we're seeing these things creep within the
• 34:10
  Speaker 12: margin of error or be tied or in the state
• 34:12
  Speaker 12: of New York, far better than ever done before. Because
• 34:15
  Speaker 12: whether it comes with crime or immigration, I think people
• 34:19
  Speaker 12: now see, even Democrats, this cannot work.
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: This cannot stand.
• 34:25
  Speaker 14: Well.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump and Joe Biden and we'll face off in
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: their first televised election debate for twenty twenty four. It's
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: this Thursday, Friday morning, our time. The rules they've set
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: out for this debate seem to favor Joe Biden, things
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: like muting the microphones unless it's their turn to speak,
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: and no live audience, and really, does anyone think the
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: Biden camp hasn't got the questions already? And this debate
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: is on a vehemently anti Trump network CNN that relentlessly
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: pushed every conspiracy theory and hoax, from the Russian collusion
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: hoax to the fine people on both sides lie, to
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: the Hunter Biden laptop being Russian disinformation and army. The
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: debate is going to be moderated by two Trump deranged individuals,
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. Now everyone knows what a
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: biased hack Bash is, but some still think despite his
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: part in enthusiastically pushing every anti Trump disinformation we've heard
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: in recent years, a lot of people still.
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: Think Tape is a straight shooter. But just have a
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: look at this. See how overjoyed.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: He was when he learned Trump would no longer be president.
• 35:44
  Speaker 17: Extreme divisions, many of the divisions caused and exacerbated by
• 35:49
  Speaker 17: President Trump himself. It's been a time of several significant
• 35:53
  Speaker 17: and utterly avoidable failures, most tragically, of course, the unwillingness
• 35:58
  Speaker 17: to respect facts and signs and do everything that could
• 36:01
  Speaker 17: be done to save lives during a pandemic. It has
• 36:03
  Speaker 17: been a time where truth in fact, we're treated with disdain.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: It is a time of cruelty. We're official in.
• 36:11
  Speaker 17: Humanity, such as child separation became the official shameful policy
• 36:15
  Speaker 17: of the United States. But now the Trump presidency is
• 36:19
  Speaker 17: coming to an end, to an end with so many
• 36:23
  Speaker 17: squandered opportunities and ruined potential, but also an era of
• 36:27
  Speaker 17: just plain meanness. It must be said, to paraphrase President Ford,
• 36:32
  Speaker 17: for tens of millions of our fellow Americans, their long
• 36:36
  Speaker 17: national nightmare is over.
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: The nightmare is over.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: The meanness of the border policies. Are me not respecting
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: the COVID science? That little ranch hasn't an h too?
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 36:52
  Speaker 12: No, Look, I actually have no Jake Taper a little bit.
• 36:57
  Speaker 12: We're someone in contact with each other. I kind of
• 36:59
  Speaker 12: like personally, and I think that everything res relative speaking,
• 37:03
  Speaker 12: I think relative to other people on CNN ORSNBC. He's
• 37:06
  Speaker 12: not that terrible. He is absolutely no fans.
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: True.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: True.
• 37:12
  Speaker 12: Look, at the end of the day, why did Trump
• 37:15
  Speaker 12: take the debates so quickly even though he knew that
• 37:19
  Speaker 12: it was stacked against him. He didn't because Joe Biden
• 37:22
  Speaker 12: wasn't going to debate otherwise. Right, Look, we were debating
• 37:25
  Speaker 12: this and talking about this before uh there was a
• 37:27
  Speaker 12: good chance there will be a first time in presidential history,
• 37:30
  Speaker 12: modern presidential history that there wasn't going to be a debate.
• 37:34
  Speaker 12: Trump knew that and needed to make this move in
• 37:36
  Speaker 12: order to get Biden to debate. We all know the
• 37:39
  Speaker 12: bias against Republican candidates on these debate stages. This is
• 37:43
  Speaker 12: nothing new. The debates are run by the mainstream media,
• 37:45
  Speaker 12: they're hosted by the mainstream media, and we all know
• 37:48
  Speaker 12: statistically they vote Democratic, no question about it. But the
• 37:52
  Speaker 12: truth is this debate it is so important because you
• 37:57
  Speaker 12: know this, this race is so tight that even though
• 38:00
  Speaker 12: Trump is leading in a lot of the battleground state,
• 38:02
  Speaker 12: they're all in a statistical dead heat and there aren't
• 38:05
  Speaker 12: going to be many inflection points to the course of
• 38:08
  Speaker 12: this election. This is going to be one of those
• 38:11
  Speaker 12: inflection points. And in fact, I do think that this
• 38:14
  Speaker 12: debate will set the trajectory for the rest of this election.
• 38:18
  Speaker 12: It will be very difficult if somebody takes a large
• 38:21
  Speaker 12: lead from this debate, it will be very hard for
• 38:24
  Speaker 12: that other person to come back. So I think this
• 38:26
  Speaker 12: is important. I think frankly, counterintuguli, countertutinally, the MIC's being
• 38:30
  Speaker 12: shut off may actually help Trump in a couple of ways.
• 38:33
  Speaker 12: First of all, it goes against his It kind of
• 38:35
  Speaker 12: pulls him back from his self destructive nature of kind
• 38:38
  Speaker 12: of being a little bit of a jerk on a camera,
• 38:41
  Speaker 12: which he can be sometimes a little bit over aggressive.
• 38:43
  Speaker 12: I think he does better when he's calm, cool and collected.
• 38:46
  Speaker 12: I think this will force him to do that. And frankly,
• 38:48
  Speaker 12: you want Joe Biden to have time right and not
• 38:53
  Speaker 12: to be in terrupted by Trump, because when we haves time,
• 38:55
  Speaker 12: that's when you see Biden's self destruct. He may not
• 38:57
  Speaker 12: even make it through the entire time that he has
• 39:00
  Speaker 12: a lot of them, we've seen it before. It had
• 39:02
  Speaker 12: a minute, we start fifteen seconds short to stare at
• 39:04
  Speaker 12: the camera. So that actually could work in Trump's favor.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: Well, he's going to be practicing like hell for the
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: next few days in preparation. And it's interesting because it's
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: a poll that's been released showing seventy percent of voters
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: want Donald Trump and Joe Biden to submit to drug
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: testing before the debate. Remember, Trump accused Biden of being
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: as high as a kite and all jacked up during
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: his State of the Union address back in March, and
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: I want to say, I mean, I like this idea,
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: particularly when it comes to Joe Biden, because there is
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: such a vast difference in that Joe Biden's we see
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: these days and it's hard to explain. He can be lucid,
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: almost speed talking like he was during the State of
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: the Union, and then he seems utterly lost and slow
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: and incoherent. But before you go, I've got to ask
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: you about Star Wars. We covered this earlier in the year,
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: this painfully woke new series The Acolyte. It's getting a
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: massive backlash from fans. The audience score on Rotten Tomatoes
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: is thirteen percent, which is terrible, but the critics naturally
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: love it. It's got eighty five percent with the critics.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: But Elion Mask, a Star Wars fan, has said Lucasfilms
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: has killed Star Wars with its woke propaganda, calling President
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: Kathleen Kennedy more deadly.
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: Than the Death Star. How do you see this? Is
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: there anything redeeming about this series? Are people I don't know?
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: Are people overreacting or has the series been killed?
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 40:43
  Speaker 12: Look, it just befuddles me that companies, in this case
• 40:48
  Speaker 12: Star Wars would take such overtly political positions and essentially
• 40:54
  Speaker 12: pooh pooh and at fifty percent of the population that
• 40:57
  Speaker 12: buys their products, Like Michael Jordan famously said, when you
• 41:00
  Speaker 12: asked why is he not taking more social positions, he says,
• 41:03
  Speaker 12: because Republicans buy shoes too. Right, That's a sentiment that
• 41:07
  Speaker 12: every company, particularly one that stockholders should seriously, should should
• 41:11
  Speaker 12: should learn from. Disney's stock is down fifty percent since
• 41:15
  Speaker 12: twenty twenty one. Okay, Ultimately that's who they have to
• 41:20
  Speaker 12: They have to satisfy the shareholders. They are not doing that.
• 41:23
  Speaker 12: This whole idea about I need to you have to
• 41:25
  Speaker 12: diversify storytelling so you could identify with the characters on
• 41:29
  Speaker 12: camera makes it has never made sense to me. Look,
• 41:31
  Speaker 12: I'm a Jewish person. They're not the many Jewish people
• 41:34
  Speaker 12: of Star Wars. Yet is to identify with the good
• 41:36
  Speaker 12: Star Wars not the crappy Star Wars have been many
• 41:39
  Speaker 12: crappy star Wars. But yeah, look, because it's about good
• 41:43
  Speaker 12: versus evil, doesn't matter you're a black or white, or
• 41:45
  Speaker 12: woman or a man. You could identify with that. And
• 41:48
  Speaker 12: I think that they are really doing themselves at the
• 41:51
  Speaker 12: service by focusing and leaning into woken, so it doesn't
• 41:54
  Speaker 12: make any sense, and it's killing them.
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: It is, but it's so ideological.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: They copying the self harm, they're copying the audience backlash,
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: the share price plummeting, all the bad press they're getting Disney,
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: and they just keep pushing this barrow. You got to
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: think at some point there's got to be a stop
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: to it. Army Horowitz, we always enjoy having you, and
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: we'll speak to you next time. The debate would have
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: been run and one, and I'll be looking forward to
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: your insights.
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: Was your pleasure still to come?
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: A look inside Melbourne's Cedy City Center as residents and
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: traders demand action on.
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: Clime Welcome back.
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: Joining me now is Herald Sun reporter Suzanne Dela Basic. Suzan,
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: you recently braved Melbourne's city streets after dark.
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: You had a go pro camera.
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: Tell me what you saw and experienced Melbourne because we
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: prided ourselves on being the world's most livable city for
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: many years, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.
• 43:08
  Speaker 18: Well, I can tell you now, reader. Within moments of
• 43:11
  Speaker 18: switching on that go pro camera, I had a man
• 43:14
  Speaker 18: who was intoxicated approach me. So the whole idea of
• 43:20
  Speaker 18: it was to see what it's like for a woman
• 43:22
  Speaker 18: to be walking around the CBD. So within moments, as
• 43:25
  Speaker 18: I said, of turning on the camera, Matt approached me.
• 43:28
  Speaker 18: He was intoxicated. I also had security with me too.
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: You're lucky, most of us don't have security.
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: No, So within and you've had some intoxicated man, you
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: had aggressive people approach.
• 43:41
  Speaker 18: You, Yes, so I had a group of aggressive teens
• 43:47
  Speaker 18: approach me. That was at the State Library. That's actually
• 43:51
  Speaker 18: where I saw someone openly injecting, So it was quite confronting,
• 43:55
  Speaker 18: to be honest. I also saw a man on Elizabeth
• 43:59
  Speaker 18: Street lying motionless after just taking drugs. Just so concerning reader.
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: And these are for the people who don't know Melbourne.
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: The major streets there, Elizabeth Street, the State Library, Swanston Walk,
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: so you're not exactly going down tiny alleyways where you
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: might expect to see someone shooting up drugs. Were was
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: that much of a police presidence presence? Were the police
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: intervening in any of this?
• 44:25
  Speaker 18: Look, there was a police presence around. We did see
• 44:28
  Speaker 18: a police presence, but from what I could see, they
• 44:32
  Speaker 18: weren't intervening, And obviously that was just because when these
• 44:35
  Speaker 18: things were going on, they had they had done them
• 44:39
  Speaker 18: without obviously without sight of with without police being in sight.
• 44:43
  Speaker 18: So I think that's where what it comes to that
• 44:46
  Speaker 18: they should be checking these alleyways and actually be monitoring
• 44:51
  Speaker 18: all of the streets.
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, And we've got a homeless issue in Melbourne.
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: I know a lot of capital cities would have this,
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: but we've also got aggression from some homeless people who
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: are drug affected. And that is happening not just for
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: tourists or people who visit the city occasionally, but the
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: traders and people who work in the cities talk about
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: being spat on, being chased, being sworn at. It's not
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: the sort of environment you would expect in a first
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: world city.
• 45:24
  Speaker 18: It's not and I can actually tell you so. After
• 45:27
  Speaker 18: I did the walk in the CBD, I ended up
• 45:30
  Speaker 18: going back out to businesses to see how they were
• 45:32
  Speaker 18: feeling too, just to sort of basically discuss what I
• 45:36
  Speaker 18: had seen with them. And one trader, as I mentioned
• 45:41
  Speaker 18: in my story, had been punched in the face. She
• 45:45
  Speaker 18: had been spat on. Another I actually saw footage at
• 45:49
  Speaker 18: another store of just a trader doing his job and
• 45:52
  Speaker 18: he was just attacked. Workers can't even put out their
• 45:55
  Speaker 18: bins because there are drug users openly injecting and blocking
• 45:59
  Speaker 18: their bins.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: And that's onto Grave.
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: Street again, another big tourist strip, one of the sort
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: of highlights of Melbourne, one of those lane ways that
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: we advertise to the rest of the country in the
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: world to come and visit exactly.
• 46:14
  Speaker 18: So hearing all of that, I mean, it is really concerning.
• 46:17
  Speaker 18: And these traders they want to see a stronger police presence,
• 46:21
  Speaker 18: They want to see more action by the council, they
• 46:24
  Speaker 18: want to see more action by the state government because
• 46:27
  Speaker 18: they just feel like obviously all of their concerns are
• 46:30
  Speaker 18: falling on deaf ears and why should they be made
• 46:33
  Speaker 18: to work in fear?
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: They shouldn't.
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, and ninety three percent of respondents at the Herald
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: Sun said they did not feel safe in the city,
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: so this was not an isolated experience for you. And
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: the Crime Statistics Agency data also paints a very ugly picture.
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: Reveals police recorded more than twenty one thousand offenses in
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: the CBD this year ending March twenty twenty four, compared
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: to nineteen thousand, six hundred and twelve last year, so
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: a significant rise there. They should be going down nineteen thousand,
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: I would suggest is a high enough figure. What are
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: the authorities doing to tackle this? You mentioned the Police Council,
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: the state government.
• 47:17
  Speaker 5: Is there a task force? Is this some attempt to
• 47:20
  Speaker 5: do something about this?
• 47:21
  Speaker 18: Well, earlier this year are the City of Melbourne held
• 47:24
  Speaker 18: a roundtable with the state government with police, traders, residents,
• 47:30
  Speaker 18: but that has had I think little effect on the
• 47:32
  Speaker 18: city and police. They've told me that they've got hundreds
• 47:38
  Speaker 18: of officers patrolling, especially around the Elizabeth Street and Swanston
• 47:43
  Speaker 18: Street areas. But again going out to traders and speaking
• 47:46
  Speaker 18: with them, they say that they've actually said, can there
• 47:50
  Speaker 18: be a dedicated police hub in Elizabeth Street? They want
• 47:54
  Speaker 18: to see more police because Rita. The footage that I
• 47:58
  Speaker 18: was given from these business says FPOs machines being thrown
• 48:03
  Speaker 18: at workers and like objects being thrown at them too,
• 48:09
  Speaker 18: and if they're not given free pizza, particularly as you
• 48:12
  Speaker 18: mentioned before with the home people living with homelessness, they
• 48:16
  Speaker 18: in one case actual a worker was abused for not
• 48:19
  Speaker 18: giving someone a free pizza.
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: There's an expectation now that you will give them free food,
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: or if you're passing by and they're asking for money,
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: that you will give them something and sometimes that's where
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: these attacks happen. I mean, I'm pretty bold about walking
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: around after dark people, so I'm reckless. But there's one
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: area of Melbourne I would not go, and that's Elizabeth
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: Street near Flinders Street. After dark, even sometimes during the day,
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: it's a really ugly, hostile environment. So Zandela Basic, keep
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: up the good work and thank you so much for
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: your time tonight.
• 48:54
  Speaker 18: Thanks Reder.
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: That's it from me.
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: Up next is Newsnight. I'll see you tomorrow with Douglas
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: Smarty at eleven.
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: Good Night.
