- 0:11Speaker 1: Jesus is the bold reform it tonight. I can't believe
- 0:16Speaker 1: there are still people who say Kevin Rudd shouldn't be
- 0:19Speaker 1: dumped as our ambassador to Washington. There's an extraordinary defensive
- 0:23Speaker 1: human one newspaper today. Let me tell you what these
- 0:26Speaker 1: people and our prime minister just don't get. Plus a
- 0:31Speaker 1: giant practical joke played on seventy two thousand global warming
- 0:35Speaker 1: believers by their host who tells them some home truths
- 0:38Speaker 1: about gas and oil.
- 0:41Speaker 2: It's a gift of the God.
- 0:44Speaker 1: There's a lot more of that's so funny, and the
- 0:48Speaker 1: man not less funny. This the man who crowned the
- 0:51Speaker 1: king is forced to quit over a church cover up
- 0:53Speaker 1: of child abuse. Plus a video from Gaza that pro
- 0:57Speaker 1: palason protesters will not want you to see. The first
- 1:03Speaker 1: I must start with more astonishing nonsense. Aren't you fed
- 1:07Speaker 1: up with this stuff? The Albany is the government. It's
- 1:10Speaker 1: just refusing to listen to the Australian people who lastly
- 1:13Speaker 1: voted against the votings by race. Yet there's something now
- 1:17Speaker 1: that slipped by me hasn't been reported much. Did you
- 1:20Speaker 1: know this government has created a new body to manage
- 1:23Speaker 1: what's called the Aboriginal Water Entitlements program. It's to by
- 1:27Speaker 1: water for just one race of people. It's by water
- 1:31Speaker 1: in the Murray Darling system. That it's our most important
- 1:34Speaker 1: farming area. That it's water that irrigators of course rely
- 1:37Speaker 1: on too, one hundred million dollars of it from forty
- 1:41Speaker 1: million in the previous government foolishly promised but wisely never
- 1:44Speaker 1: spent now overseeing this water apartheight is Environment Minister Tania
- 1:50Speaker 1: Plebasset wouldn't you know who? Also this year effectively banned
- 1:54Speaker 1: a one billion dollar gold mine because a few people
- 1:57Speaker 1: identifying this Aboriginal claimed it was on sacred land. Privasic
- 2:01Speaker 1: over all the traditional owners who said it wasn't seems
- 2:04Speaker 1: she really has got the mystic woo woos Now. Her
- 2:08Speaker 1: department now says the Morray Daling Basin is home to
- 2:11Speaker 1: over fifty First Nations and water is a vital part
- 2:15Speaker 1: of the connection to country. Well. However, it says the
- 2:20Speaker 1: impacts of colonization have deeply affected these communities' access to water.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Wicked colonization. Privasic herself complains that people identifying as aboriginill
- 2:31Speaker 1: own just zero point two percent of Australia's surface waters,
- 2:35Speaker 1: but her one hundred million dollar Aboriginal Water and Tilness
- 2:37Speaker 1: program that begins to reverse that legacy and recognizes that
- 2:42Speaker 1: lasting and deep connection are first nations peoples with water.
- 2:47Speaker 1: So what is this deep connection with water that apparently
- 2:50Speaker 1: all Aborigines somehow mystically inherit? Are they? Maybe all irrigation
- 2:56Speaker 1: farmers will there's one hundred million dollars perhaps by water
- 3:01Speaker 1: for farming. Well, not necessarily at all. We're told this
- 3:06Speaker 1: one hundred million is to buy water to help Aboriginal
- 3:09Speaker 1: well being, like cultural well being, social economic which yes
- 3:15Speaker 1: might include a bit of farming, and spiritual spiritual well being.
- 3:22Speaker 1: I mean someone pulling our leg. The Census tells us
- 3:26Speaker 1: most averages are in fact Christians. This money isn't to
- 3:30Speaker 1: buy water for the baptismal font You know there be
- 3:34Speaker 1: riots of one hundred million dollars tax by money were
- 3:36Speaker 1: spent to feel Catholic fonts. No, No, we're talking about
- 3:41Speaker 1: old Aboriginal spirituality. Even though the Census tells also tells
- 3:45Speaker 1: us that two percent less than of Aborigines follow traditional
- 3:50Speaker 1: Aboriginal spirituality. I bet most of them would live along
- 3:53Speaker 1: the Marion Darling Rivers. Does the government care. So who's
- 3:59Speaker 1: managing all this? Who picked them? Who do they represent? Now?
- 4:03Speaker 1: And here we can actually see how the defeat of
- 4:05Speaker 1: the Voice last year suddenly left a big hole in
- 4:07Speaker 1: the government's plans. I mean, the Voice was obviously meant
- 4:09Speaker 1: to be the start of a separate Aboriginal government, it said,
- 4:12Speaker 1: pleba sect. Now it's the pick and an interim body,
- 4:15Speaker 1: an interim body to run this Three directors who identify
- 4:18Speaker 1: as Aboriginal, despite obviously having other ancestry as well, people
- 4:22Speaker 1: who are selected, not elected until pic configure, who on
- 4:26Speaker 1: earth will run this one hundred million dollar scheme for
- 4:30Speaker 1: those fifty Aboriginal so called nations. I won't know how
- 4:33Speaker 1: that's going to work. By the way, is that elections
- 4:35Speaker 1: or more selections of the kind of self identified Aborigines
- 4:39Speaker 1: that Primicy seems to prefer, like the ones who convinced
- 4:42Speaker 1: her to stop that gold mine this year? Is this
- 4:46Speaker 1: stupid race of politics really our future? Enough? I mean
- 4:52Speaker 1: really enough, just we've got to revolt against this woke
- 4:55Speaker 1: identity politics. If you want order, don't tell me your race.
- 5:00Speaker 1: That's your business, not mine. It's enough that you know,
- 5:03Speaker 1: if you're a farmer and you pay for that water,
- 5:05Speaker 1: but with your money and not ours. Yeah, I'm just
- 5:12Speaker 1: absolutely astonished there are still people who think that Kevin
- 5:15Speaker 1: Rudd can stay as their ambassador to the United States.
- 5:19Speaker 1: Haven't they noticed that Donald Trump just got elected president.
- 5:24Speaker 1: I mean, how can we have an ambassador asking President
- 5:27Speaker 1: Trump for favors a man who's called Trump a village idiot,
- 5:31Speaker 1: a trajed to the West, the most destructive president in
- 5:34Speaker 1: the history, and much more reveling in abusing Trump, and
- 5:38Speaker 1: I think genuinely thinking in his delusion that Trump is insane.
- 5:43Speaker 3: I think the general consensus amongst anyone concerned with the
- 5:47Speaker 3: public policy process, domestic or international, thinks he's nuts.
- 5:53Speaker 1: Now if you were somehow under any illusion that Rudd
- 5:58Speaker 1: doesn't have to go past twenty four hours on my show,
- 6:02Speaker 1: we had Trump's former White House spokesman Sean Spicer saying
- 6:05Speaker 1: Rud's going to have some problems now as ambassador and
- 6:07Speaker 1: should be subbed out.
- 6:09Speaker 4: He said, Donald Trump doesn't forget these kind of comments.
- 6:14Speaker 1: And then came Paul Scavino, who's a senior advisor on
- 6:17Speaker 1: Trump's campaign this year, former deputy chief of staff for
- 6:19Speaker 1: Trump's White House probably be a senior official again. He's
- 6:23Speaker 1: in Trump's in a circle now. Scavino actually mocked Rud
- 6:26Speaker 1: by pinning at the top of his ex feed Rudd's
- 6:30Speaker 1: statement last week, announcing it just the leader's abuse of
- 6:33Speaker 1: Trump from his social media accounts, and Scavino added just
- 6:36Speaker 1: one thing, a gift of an hour glass with the
- 6:39Speaker 1: sand running out. I read this story saying, oh, Trump
- 6:45Speaker 1: adviser makes cryptic post about Rudd. Cryptic, I mean an
- 6:49Speaker 1: hour glass with the sand running out. That's cryptic. Even
- 6:54Speaker 1: before this, we had Lara Trump, the incoming president's daughter
- 6:57Speaker 1: in law, head of the Republican National Committee, and Trump
- 7:00Speaker 1: don't say, Look, they might have trouble working with this guy.
- 7:04Speaker 4: Maybe we want to choose somebody else.
- 7:05Speaker 1: I heard it was a little bit nasty. I hear.
- 7:08Speaker 1: He's not the writer's bulb yet. Premius Anthony Abanez, who
- 7:14Speaker 1: personally picked Run. His mate is former prime minister. You've
- 7:19Speaker 1: got Albaniz is still insisting Run is terrific and must stay.
- 7:24Speaker 1: Why why can anyone say, I mean, in his very
- 7:27Speaker 1: first phone call with Trump, Albanez was already begging the
- 7:31Speaker 1: incoming president for a favor. I mean, please, mister Trump,
- 7:35Speaker 1: don't hurt Australia with this big new tariff. You say
- 7:38Speaker 1: you're going to import put on imports.
- 7:42Speaker 5: I pointed out that Australia has, or the United States
- 7:47Speaker 5: has a trade surplus with Australia, so it's in the
- 7:51Speaker 5: United States interest to trade fairly with Australia. But it's
- 7:54Speaker 5: also obviously in Australia's interesting.
- 7:58Speaker 1: Now, listen, if Abanzi now is ambassador to go to
- 8:02Speaker 1: Trump to plead that case, please miss the President, don't
- 8:06Speaker 1: hurt Australia. Wear mates, do you really think it's smart
- 8:11Speaker 1: to send a guy that's called that president nuts, a
- 8:15Speaker 1: traitor and the village idiot? What planet do you think
- 8:20Speaker 1: you're on If you think that's how diplomacy works, that's
- 8:23Speaker 1: how to get the best deal for Australia. Yeah, this
- 8:26Speaker 1: scuss is being made for not sacking right. I mean
- 8:29Speaker 1: like Paul Kelly, editor at Large of The Australian, I
- 8:32Speaker 1: like him, but in the paper today writing that people
- 8:34Speaker 1: like me who want Trump dump to suffering Trump appeasement
- 8:38Speaker 1: syndrome and are would you believe unpatriotic that wanting Trump
- 8:43Speaker 1: gone shows a contempt for Australian sovereignty and a craven
- 8:48Speaker 1: weakness before Trump so bad that we must look like
- 8:53Speaker 1: a sad, pathetic little country. Well, I'm sorry, Paul, but
- 8:57Speaker 1: that sounds to me like it's written by men who
- 8:59Speaker 1: cannot cope it fact that things have changed, that Trump
- 9:02Speaker 1: has one a man that, no surprise, Keilly us called
- 9:06Speaker 1: a mean, loathsome morally compromised person. I mean, guys, get
- 9:12Speaker 1: over it. Trump's in. Therefore Rudd must be out. And
- 9:18Speaker 1: to say that is not showing a contempt for Australian's sovereignty.
- 9:23Speaker 1: It is to show a respect for Australia's interests to
- 9:27Speaker 1: not insist on ramming Rudd down Trump's throat, because to
- 9:33Speaker 1: keep him it's just pigheaded. And it's not even as
- 9:37Speaker 1: if you keeping Rad in Washington is asserting Australia's values,
- 9:42Speaker 1: asserting Australia's sovereignty, it's not. This is not like insisting
- 9:49Speaker 1: on sending a female ambassador to a Muslim country. You know,
- 9:53Speaker 1: doing that is defending at least our values of equality.
- 9:57Speaker 1: But here we'd just be defending Rudd's idiocy, his appalling
- 10:02Speaker 1: misjudgment of Trump and his childish abuse. I mean that's
- 10:05Speaker 1: what we got, you know, the risk Australia his interest
- 10:08Speaker 1: for that. But in fact Rudd fails in both key
- 10:13Speaker 1: roles of an ambassador. He can't work with the country
- 10:16Speaker 1: we send him to and he can't interpret that country
- 10:19Speaker 1: back to US. I mean, this ambassador in the US
- 10:21Speaker 1: didn't even predict Trump's win. How big a fail is
- 10:23Speaker 1: that he clearly didn't predict him because he deleted his
- 10:26Speaker 1: abuse of Trump on his social media accounts only on
- 10:29Speaker 1: the day that Trump did win. No, he runs the
- 10:33Speaker 1: fenders claim, oh well, Trump's not actually going to care
- 10:35Speaker 1: about runs past the abuse because look, Trump made JD.
- 10:40Speaker 1: Vance his vice president, even though Vance once called him
- 10:43Speaker 1: America's hitler, and not himself. Has been trying to float
- 10:47Speaker 1: that line, saying, well, there's a whole range of people
- 10:50Speaker 1: at a time have had a whole range of interesting
- 10:52Speaker 1: things to say about President Trump. But here's the difference.
- 10:57Speaker 1: Vance said I was wrong about let me explain why
- 11:02Speaker 1: I'm misready. I'm very sorry, he apologized. Rudd, who's famously arrogant,
- 11:07Speaker 1: has done none of that. No apology, no recanting, no
- 11:11Speaker 1: explanation how he got it so wrong, none of that. So,
- 11:15Speaker 1: for all we know, for all Trump knows, Rudd does
- 11:18Speaker 1: still think he's a village idiot. And I suspect even
- 11:21Speaker 1: Radd privately knows is not the man now to talk
- 11:23Speaker 1: to Trump or to stop officials, because he's even asked
- 11:26Speaker 1: two prominent liberals, former Ambassador Joe Hockey, former Premister Scott Morrison,
- 11:31Speaker 1: please come help me do this approach these people, which
- 11:35Speaker 1: should tell us everything, should tell us we should look
- 11:37Speaker 1: just get rid of the middleman and pick instead the
- 11:41Speaker 1: best salesman for our country, and that is not Rudd. Kevin,
- 11:45Speaker 1: You're either crawled to Trump or you go home. You
- 11:49Speaker 1: crawl for Australia or you leave joining me is the
- 11:56Speaker 1: political panel. Cameram Milner form chief of Staff to Labor
- 11:59Speaker 1: Lady Bill Short now Director of JIGS Strategies, Christist Management.
- 12:03Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many of that ALBERNIZI has
- 12:05Speaker 1: now got. And Michael Costler, former New South Wales Labor
- 12:08Speaker 1: Treasurer A Cameron Christist Management.
- 12:12Speaker 6: Time.
- 12:12Speaker 1: Should Kevin Redd resign.
- 12:15Speaker 7: Well no, and I think everyone should just keep calm
- 12:18Speaker 7: and carry on.
- 12:18Speaker 1: I mean he is.
- 12:19Speaker 7: Austral as representative, is our choice as the ambassador we
- 12:22Speaker 7: send to the United States. These comments are historical and
- 12:24Speaker 7: have been known for some time, and your point about
- 12:26Speaker 7: the Vice President is correct. He called him an American
- 12:29Speaker 7: Hitler and he was still on Trump's ticket. Marco Rubio
- 12:31Speaker 7: campaigned against Trump and he's going to be the Secretary
- 12:33Speaker 7: of State. No, I think the proofs in the pudding.
- 12:36Speaker 7: Let's see what we do on tariffs. Let's see whether
- 12:38Speaker 7: right can match Joe Hockey in terms of getting zero
- 12:40Speaker 7: tariffs on Australian goods as a close ally, because that's
- 12:43Speaker 7: the real proof of the pudding. I agree with Tony Abbott,
- 12:46Speaker 7: Scott Morrison, Pete Dutton and believe it not, Anthony Albanese
- 12:49Speaker 7: who all say that Rudd should stay.
- 12:53Speaker 1: May I just say that my point was not the
- 12:56Speaker 1: JD Vans called him hitler America's Hitler, or that Marco
- 13:01Speaker 1: Rubio made jokes about the size of his penis. My
- 13:04Speaker 1: point was that they then recanted, They then crawled, they
- 13:08Speaker 1: then said sorry, They then campaigned for Trump. Rudstan none
- 13:12Speaker 1: of that. That was my point. Michael Costa, what do.
- 13:15Speaker 8: You think I think rud should just resign. He should
- 13:18Speaker 8: do the honorable thing and resign. I mean, your point
- 13:22Speaker 8: about recanning is obviously true, but that goes further than that.
- 13:25Speaker 8: I mean, imagine calling Trump the village idiot. He's just
- 13:28Speaker 8: proven that he's certainly not an idiot. You mightn't agree
- 13:32Speaker 8: with his sort of bombast and everything else, but the
- 13:35Speaker 8: guys are quite extraordinary. And you know, let's not forget
- 13:38Speaker 8: some of the descriptions of Rudd from his own colleagues
- 13:41Speaker 8: when they got rid of him the first time. You know,
- 13:44Speaker 8: Mudd's got a popularity, village dog catcher, you know, election
- 13:48Speaker 8: if he stood for it. I think what Anthony should do.
- 13:51Speaker 8: Albanez is offering the High Commissioner to Tuo valou beacon
- 13:55Speaker 8: there advise them on the sort of global warming rent
- 13:59Speaker 8: seeking strategy, and you know, that way you can gauge
- 14:03Speaker 8: his ego without damaging in Australia's interest. I think he's hopeless,
- 14:06Speaker 8: and I've thought that for a long time.
- 14:09Speaker 1: Now, Cameron, you don't think you should quit. But the
- 14:11Speaker 1: point is, I think he's damaged goods and even he
- 14:15Speaker 1: himself admits that. I mean even he himself is trying
- 14:18Speaker 1: to overcome that. So there's an acknowledgement of con there.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Why do you think Albany is just sticking by him?
- 14:26Speaker 7: Well, I think one thing is he doesn't want Kevin
- 14:28Speaker 7: run back in the country. Commenting on the next federal
- 14:30Speaker 7: election with a free fresh seat from Norman Park.
- 14:33Speaker 1: Would be the first reason. But look the second I think.
- 14:36Speaker 7: The second I think is that there are really complex
- 14:38Speaker 7: issues and Radi is actually an expert on China, is
- 14:41Speaker 7: actually aligned with Trump on China, aligned with Rubio on
- 14:44Speaker 7: China as well, especially with z So. I think there's
- 14:47Speaker 7: lots of conversation that Rud can have in a reading, mature, sensible.
- 14:49Speaker 1: Way as our ambassador.
- 14:51Speaker 7: And look, maybe the past comments were not diplomatic, but
- 14:55Speaker 7: nevertheless he is Astralia's ambassador in Washington.
- 14:59Speaker 1: Maybe they weren't dip thematica. I have to say, look, Michael,
- 15:03Speaker 1: you and I laughed when Cameron said, you know, maybe
- 15:07Speaker 1: just want run in the country. But that said, I
- 15:11Speaker 1: think Camera's actually onto something. Rudd is a hater. If
- 15:15Speaker 1: he got humiliated by being forced out, I do think
- 15:19Speaker 1: that would be a problem for our Albanzi, don't you.
- 15:23Speaker 5: No.
- 15:23Speaker 8: I think he's got no credibility in Australia and I
- 15:25Speaker 8: think he's probably the personal Labor Party is least popular
- 15:29Speaker 8: than Albanuze at the moment.
- 15:31Speaker 1: Look, Rudd's just.
- 15:32Speaker 8: A massive vegotist and you know, you just have to
- 15:35Speaker 8: go to his period in government to see what a disaster.
- 15:38Speaker 8: I hear Cameron of our China, but I didn't see
- 15:40Speaker 8: an increase in defense spending when he was Prime Minister
- 15:43Speaker 8: to allow us to be in a position to defend ourselves,
- 15:46Speaker 8: you know, ten years down the track or thirteen years
- 15:48Speaker 8: down the track. You know, I think jumps on whatever
- 15:52Speaker 8: whatever bandwagon's around to lose it to raise his popularity.
- 15:55Speaker 8: You know, he wanted to be un secretary. He's probably
- 15:57Speaker 8: as competent as the bloke that's there. Maybe that's where
- 16:00Speaker 8: they should put him.
- 16:03Speaker 1: I think you're right he was playing to the peanut
- 16:05Speaker 1: gallery on the left. That's absolutely true. What's been interesting
- 16:11Speaker 1: is to see the coalition leadership very careful not to
- 16:15Speaker 1: call for Rudd to quit. Oh, you know, we support him.
- 16:19Speaker 1: We supported him. This is just an issue for the premise.
- 16:22Speaker 1: But there's a little been a little crack now because
- 16:25Speaker 1: you've got a senior Liberal MP, Dean Smith from West Australia.
- 16:29Speaker 1: He's gone on radio this afternoon calling for rud to
- 16:32Speaker 1: be sack.
- 16:32Speaker 3: Here is I don't think. I don't think that Kevin
- 16:36Speaker 3: Budd is operating from a position of strength anymore. If
- 16:40Speaker 3: I was a foreign minister, Gary, I probably ask him
- 16:43Speaker 3: to pack his bags. I just don't think he's up
- 16:45Speaker 3: to the job anymore.
- 16:47Speaker 1: So how do you see the opposition playing this, Cameron?
- 16:52Speaker 7: Well, I think Dean Smith crossed the flour more times
- 16:54Speaker 7: than I've probably had hot dinners, so I'm not sure
- 16:56Speaker 7: he speaks for the Liberal Party.
- 16:57Speaker 1: Andrew.
- 16:58Speaker 7: It's great quote, but I don't think when Peter Dutton
- 17:00Speaker 7: came out today unequivocally and said Rudgards stay soda, Tonya,
- 17:04Speaker 7: but soda Scott Morrison. Look, I think the issue is
- 17:07Speaker 7: we've got to get past this kind of media frenzy
- 17:09Speaker 7: about the comments in the past and let's see what
- 17:12Speaker 7: the proof of the pudding is in terms of getting
- 17:13Speaker 7: tariffs to zero and keeping our relationship with Trump and
- 17:16Speaker 7: having a dialogue with our biggest issue, which is China,
- 17:20Speaker 7: with President Trump and all of his other new cabinet members.
- 17:26Speaker 1: Except of course, Sir Cameron. What rud thinks of China
- 17:30Speaker 1: seems to be a little different, more confrontational, and I'm
- 17:34Speaker 1: going with him on this one than what the Albanese
- 17:37Speaker 1: government thinks. So it might be freelancing on that thing.
- 17:39Speaker 1: There's another problem for the government Peter Dutton today. By
- 17:42Speaker 1: the way, Michael meanwhile backed off that promise for tax
- 17:47Speaker 1: cuts for higher income earners that he used to promise
- 17:50Speaker 1: before the last selection. Here is it will.
- 17:53Speaker 3: Largely be dependent on what the numbers are coming into
- 17:56Speaker 3: the next election as too.
- 17:57Speaker 4: Oh that's really interesting.
- 17:58Speaker 8: So you don't think necessarily the room to provide a
- 18:01Speaker 8: tax cut to hire income earners. The government's on a
- 18:05Speaker 8: spending spirit at the moment, which is why inflation's high,
- 18:07Speaker 8: and it's by interest rates are staying higher for longer
- 18:09Speaker 8: and there is a bank governor's pointed us out the
- 18:12Speaker 8: strains are paying.
- 18:13Speaker 1: More for their mortgages now than they should.
- 18:15Speaker 8: I think the priority, to be honest, is to get
- 18:17Speaker 8: inflation down, to get interest rates down.
- 18:21Speaker 1: A good decision, Michael, or just the political one.
- 18:25Speaker 8: Well, it's obviously a political decision because you know, he's
- 18:28Speaker 8: in a very difficult position. He's right about the state
- 18:30Speaker 8: of the budget. He's right about the state of spending
- 18:33Speaker 8: in this country, both at state and federal level, and
- 18:36Speaker 8: it does feed into inflation. But there is an issue
- 18:39Speaker 8: with the tax system. I mean, you've got to remember
- 18:41Speaker 8: Charmers has completely stuffed this. He went for short term
- 18:44Speaker 8: political gain. You know, they got some election by election victories,
- 18:49Speaker 8: but he's put our position in terms of the tax
- 18:51Speaker 8: system in a very inefficient place and there's a massive
- 18:54Speaker 8: disincentive for people to work.
- 18:56Speaker 9: Now.
- 18:56Speaker 8: Bracket creep is, you know, one of the major factors
- 19:00Speaker 8: in terms of the inefficiency of the tax system, and
- 19:02Speaker 8: it needs to be addressed. But I understand why Dutton
- 19:05Speaker 8: is reluctant to do that, both of the budgetary reason
- 19:08Speaker 8: and also the fact that he can't put a package
- 19:11Speaker 8: it gives low income earners any benefit given the way
- 19:14Speaker 8: Charmers structured the last package.
- 19:17Speaker 1: What do you think camera, I mean higher income earners
- 19:21Speaker 1: and they're not all millionaires, are that they haven't had
- 19:24Speaker 1: a tax cut, unlike every other Australian for what is it,
- 19:28Speaker 1: four or five years now, even though they pay most
- 19:31Speaker 1: of the income tax, they've had bracket creeper eating it away.
- 19:35Speaker 1: They've had all sorts of things and now even the
- 19:38Speaker 1: Liberals are saying, no, you're not You're probably not going
- 19:41Speaker 1: to get any for well quite a while. Yet.
- 19:45Speaker 7: Well, I think this is Peter Dutton clearing the decks
- 19:47Speaker 7: for the election. He's actually taking the barnegles off the ship.
- 19:50Speaker 7: Clearing the deck, giving himself maximum room not to be
- 19:53Speaker 7: tied down in what, as you and Michael have quite
- 19:55Speaker 7: rightly said, is a disastrous budget situation where we actually
- 19:58Speaker 7: need some fiscal responsibility for the next to actually bring
- 20:01Speaker 7: in the budget deficit. So I think Peter's been political,
- 20:04Speaker 7: that's fine, but he's also clear the decks in time
- 20:06Speaker 7: for the next election on this commitment.
- 20:09Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I hope Australians never again get fooled by
- 20:13Speaker 1: a promise that we will cut your tax guaranteed in two, three,
- 20:17Speaker 1: four or five years from now. It will not happen.
- 20:20Speaker 1: Money in the hand, or it won't happen. Cameron Milner,
- 20:23Speaker 1: Michael Costa, thank you very much for your time. After
- 20:28Speaker 1: the break, Donald Trump appoints a new Defense secretary, a
- 20:33Speaker 1: Fox News host who's going to lead the US army
- 20:36Speaker 1: into a war against folk boy. Donald Trump is moving fast.
- 20:45Speaker 1: The week after the election, He's now picked more of
- 20:47Speaker 1: the senior team is going to take into government, and
- 20:50Speaker 1: they're all really like the ones I went through yesterday. Tough,
- 20:53Speaker 1: you know, although they wonder at the experience of Trump's
- 20:59Speaker 1: incoming secretary Defense. He'll be overseeing the mighty US military,
- 21:03Speaker 1: the world's biggest military force. He's Pete Hegsith, who's just
- 21:08Speaker 1: forty four, co hosts on Fox News and a friend
- 21:12Speaker 1: of Donald Trump. That's true. He does have military service,
- 21:16Speaker 1: but he rose to no more than infantry captain in
- 21:20Speaker 1: the Army National Guard, just the captain of the National Guard,
- 21:23Speaker 1: although he did serve in Afghanistan and Iraq and performed
- 21:27Speaker 1: very well by all accounts. Now this retired captain is
- 21:31Speaker 1: now going to be in charge of generals and admirals
- 21:34Speaker 1: and he has a radical antipok agenda.
- 21:38Speaker 10: DoD employees are going to have to take mental health
- 21:41Speaker 10: days tomorrow with this news because Pete Hagsath is dedicated
- 21:44Speaker 10: to taking Wokism out of the military, which if you
- 21:48Speaker 10: love the US military and you love this country, you
- 21:50Speaker 10: have to do. They've been distracted. We live in a
- 21:53Speaker 10: very dangerous world, and he's vowed to get rid of generals.
- 21:56Speaker 10: He doesn't care who you are, but if you're distracted
- 21:59Speaker 10: from the mission to take care of your virtue signaling
- 22:01Speaker 10: and your wocism, he wants you out of there.
- 22:04Speaker 1: I kind of hope is going to be more focused
- 22:06Speaker 1: on China and things like that, but anyway, at least
- 22:09Speaker 1: it's a good contrast to what's going on here. But
- 22:12Speaker 1: the Albanezer government's got our defense forces to write down
- 22:15Speaker 1: its plans to go net zero emissions, you know, and
- 22:18Speaker 1: the armies are the defence force saying, oh, look we'll
- 22:21Speaker 1: explore using for instance, electric bush mass vehicles and all
- 22:25Speaker 1: that kind of nonsense. Joining our culture wars is Rowan Dean.
- 22:27Speaker 1: It's are in chief of the Spectator Australia and hops
- 22:30Speaker 1: with outside. It's here on Sundays at nine am.
- 22:33Speaker 11: Rowan.
- 22:33Speaker 1: Our defense bosses have declared war on the climate. Trump's
- 22:36Speaker 1: has declared war on woke, which is closest to getting
- 22:40Speaker 1: military that will actually fight well.
- 22:44Speaker 4: Definitely, the war on wok has to be won. And
- 22:46Speaker 4: what Donald Trump is doing, Andrew, it's astonishing. We are
- 22:50Speaker 4: living in the most extraordinary times at the moment. This
- 22:52Speaker 4: is a pivotal moment in Western history. Donald Trump ain't
- 22:56Speaker 4: mucking around, So this appointment and all his other appointments,
- 23:01Speaker 4: what he is doing is he's putting in place people who,
- 23:05Speaker 4: in my opinion, he's putting in place people who can
- 23:07Speaker 4: carry on his fight even if he ain't there. And
- 23:10Speaker 4: when I say even if he ain't there, let's not
- 23:12Speaker 4: forget there have been two assassination attempts on him already.
- 23:15Speaker 4: There's all that law fair stuff. They tried endlessly to
- 23:18Speaker 4: put him in prison. So it could be a grim
- 23:20Speaker 4: he's not there, or it could be a positive he's
- 23:22Speaker 4: not there, that he's put all the right people in
- 23:24Speaker 4: place so he can go to the golf course at
- 23:26Speaker 4: Mary Lago and enjoy himself. But the key thing here, Andrew,
- 23:29Speaker 4: is the mistake we now know that Donald Trump made
- 23:32Speaker 4: in his first turn was he actually went for people
- 23:36Speaker 4: who were the normal suspects from Washington, from the swamp
- 23:39Speaker 4: and so on. These characters who were didn't really understand
- 23:44Speaker 4: Trump's agenda. The people he's now surrounding himself with absolutely
- 23:49Speaker 4: understand what Donald Trump has to achieve and the mountain
- 23:53Speaker 4: they have to climb to get there. We are living
- 23:55Speaker 4: in a period when the Western world is basically caved
- 23:58Speaker 4: in to this quasi socialist woke agenda, which is metastasized
- 24:03Speaker 4: throughout every institution, throughout our schools, our universities, every corporate
- 24:08Speaker 4: of most corporations, certainly all the big institutions of government.
- 24:12Speaker 4: And Donald Trump has four years to dismantled a lot
- 24:15Speaker 4: of this woke garbage, including the climate change cults, which
- 24:19Speaker 4: is destroying industries throughout the West, emboldening China, giving riches
- 24:24Speaker 4: to the rest of the world while we impoverish ourselves.
- 24:27Speaker 4: That's just a tiny part of the agenda. Donald Trump
- 24:30Speaker 4: is determined to do what he set out to do originally,
- 24:33Speaker 4: and he's putting in place the most phenomenal team. It's
- 24:37Speaker 4: a renaissance team. It's every individual admitted to the Trump agenda,
- 24:42Speaker 4: and he's going to see it through and they.
- 24:44Speaker 1: Will amazing well. The first time around, he was a
- 24:49Speaker 1: stranger to watch it and didn't know many people. Took
- 24:52Speaker 1: him ages to appoint. The team had a number of duds,
- 24:55Speaker 1: people who weren't on the as first his page's first
- 24:58Speaker 1: defense sectory, and others. People that actually were against them
- 25:02Speaker 1: worked against them, like his chief of staff, one of
- 25:05Speaker 1: his chief of staffs, John Kelly, or rextilitiness, first secretary
- 25:09Speaker 1: to say this time bang, they're ready for action. A
- 25:13Speaker 1: week after the election, is also appointed former Arkansas Governor
- 25:17Speaker 1: Mike Huckabee as his ambassador to Israel. Rowan, you can
- 25:21Speaker 1: bet your house there's going to be no more nagging
- 25:23Speaker 1: of Israel about all these settlements on the West Bank.
- 25:27Speaker 1: If that is, if Mike Huckabee, what is said about
- 25:31Speaker 1: the Palaestinie West Bank in the past as any guide
- 25:33Speaker 1: giving it the name of the ancient Jewish kingdoms that
- 25:37Speaker 1: used to be there.
- 25:40Speaker 3: There is no such thing as a West Bank and
- 25:41Speaker 3: Shuddee and Samaria.
- 25:43Speaker 4: There's no such thing as a settlement, their communities, their neighborhoods,
- 25:46Speaker 4: their cities.
- 25:47Speaker 1: There's no such thing as an occupation. It's hard to
- 25:50Speaker 1: miss the direction that is forging on Israel.
- 25:55Speaker 11: One hundred percent.
- 25:56Speaker 4: And again, Trump is going to bring peace to the
- 25:58Speaker 4: Middle East because he's slay the kind of dragon that
- 26:01Speaker 4: has doomed both Palestinians in israelis to live in this
- 26:05Speaker 4: permanent conflict. And this is the idea that the settlements
- 26:09Speaker 4: are illegal somehow, this is the idea that there should
- 26:12Speaker 4: be two states side by side. There were two states.
- 26:14Speaker 4: Jordan is the Palestinian state and Israel is the Jewish state.
- 26:18Speaker 4: That's what the original intention was. That is what is
- 26:20Speaker 4: going to be restored under Trump. And again, you can
- 26:23Speaker 4: only do this if you were prepared to tackle the
- 26:26Speaker 4: way the left have used language. You know, settlements, west bank,
- 26:29Speaker 4: all these terminologies, Judea Samiria is what that land is,
- 26:33Speaker 4: and it's the home of the Jews. A bit of
- 26:36Speaker 4: a clue in the name, I always say, And the
- 26:38Speaker 4: only way you can bring peace is to face the
- 26:42Speaker 4: reality that those settlements are there, they're communities within Israel. Equally,
- 26:47Speaker 4: there must be places for the Palestinians. That land exists,
- 26:51Speaker 4: it's called Jordan, and away we go. We can have
- 26:54Speaker 4: peace in the Middle East because all the other options,
- 26:56Speaker 4: the Pennyway Wong option to the Middle East, has been
- 26:59Speaker 4: a catastropic failure. The entire Albanesi team, by the way Andrew,
- 27:03Speaker 4: is completely now out of step with what the direction
- 27:07Speaker 4: the America and the West are going in. If we
- 27:09Speaker 4: stick with Albanzi, we're hobbling ourselves. We are dragging ourselves backwards.
- 27:13Speaker 4: The world is going forward, the West is going forward.
- 27:16Speaker 4: The entire Albanesi charmers one miles of gender, is completely
- 27:20Speaker 4: out of step with where Donald Trump is going. So
- 27:23Speaker 4: if Australia wants to be successful, if we want to
- 27:25Speaker 4: be up there in the in the driving seat with America,
- 27:27Speaker 4: we have to ditch the entire Albanesi failed experiment, get
- 27:31Speaker 4: the coalition on board and go full steam ahead out
- 27:35Speaker 4: pull out of Paris. Go full steam ahead, make our
- 27:37Speaker 4: industries as great as they can be. Let's make Australia
- 27:40Speaker 4: great again. That's what we can do.
- 27:42Speaker 11: We have the abilities of the Australian people to do
- 27:45Speaker 11: just that.
- 27:45Speaker 1: You're right, You're right to say. You know, the Kingdom
- 27:48Speaker 1: of Judea, which was essentially the West Bank. Even the
- 27:52Speaker 1: Arabic word for jew yahood, I recognize it comes from
- 27:56Speaker 1: the word Judea, the ju there first. Not they want
- 28:01Speaker 1: to say they're not going to take Israel, not going
- 28:03Speaker 1: to Israel, won't want all that territory because they're just
- 28:07Speaker 1: then going to buy a demographic time bomb. They will
- 28:09Speaker 1: be outbred in their own country if they take all
- 28:12Speaker 1: the Palestinians there inside Israel, that's that's not going to happen.
- 28:17Speaker 1: But they do want some of it for security. Trump
- 28:20Speaker 1: has also appointed Elon Musk, the world's richest man. This
- 28:24Speaker 1: is it's just amazing these appointments. His Elon Musk is
- 28:28Speaker 1: now the boss of X and Tesla co head of
- 28:31Speaker 1: a new Department of Government Efficiency, along with the entrepreneur
- 28:34Speaker 1: Vivi Ramaswami. Now I'm not sure how two headstrong men
- 28:38Speaker 1: like that are going to co lead this department, but
- 28:41Speaker 1: Mass promises that all their decisions are going to be
- 28:44Speaker 1: posted on x. People can then post their own tips
- 28:47Speaker 1: telling him what should be cut, what shouldn't be What
- 28:50Speaker 1: do you make of this?
- 28:52Speaker 4: I love it, absolutely love it. The department another brilliant
- 28:58Speaker 4: appointment and again to the work dragon, Elon Musk, brilliant.
- 29:03Speaker 4: Vive Ramaswami superb. A friend of mine pointed out the
- 29:07Speaker 4: Department of a Government's Efficiency is an anagram for dog dog,
- 29:11Speaker 4: which is Elon Musk's favorite cryptocurrency. So the egos meaning
- 29:15Speaker 4: within the meaning. But the point here is using the
- 29:19Speaker 4: public to say, you know, such and such a program
- 29:21Speaker 4: that my local council is doing. What a waste of money?
- 29:23Speaker 4: I mean, I know where we can start in Australia.
- 29:26Speaker 4: I can give you a list as long as you like.
- 29:28Speaker 4: That's what that's what we do on outside is our list,
- 29:32Speaker 4: as long as you like. And you do Andrew too,
- 29:34Speaker 4: of where money is being wasted in this country. Let's
- 29:37Speaker 4: do the same thing here. Good on Elon Musk for
- 29:40Speaker 4: doing this, because really it does come down to people
- 29:42Speaker 4: in the street going, hang on, why is my local
- 29:45Speaker 4: councilor why is my government spending all this money on
- 29:48Speaker 4: that over there. That's what we need to do again.
- 29:50Speaker 4: It's slaying the workdagon and again Donald Trump wants.
- 29:53Speaker 11: To absolutely and Trump is just brilliant exactly.
- 30:00Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, the top of the million dollars rowan one
- 30:03Speaker 1: hundred million dollars this government is going to be spending
- 30:06Speaker 1: on buying aboriginal water from the murray Darling. I mean seriously, look,
- 30:11Speaker 1: you could what you couldn't save if you had the
- 30:15Speaker 1: politicians with the courage to do something about it. Roundine,
- 30:18Speaker 1: thank you very much for your time. After the break,
- 30:22Speaker 1: seventy two thousand global warming believers and a UN conference
- 30:26Speaker 1: on right now get told some home truths by their
- 30:29Speaker 1: host about gas and oil and about their hypocrisy. You've
- 30:33Speaker 1: got to watch this. It's so funny. I reckon, this
- 30:36Speaker 1: is the air going out from the global warming scare.
- 30:42Speaker 1: I've just seen what it's like. A giant, practical joker.
- 30:46Speaker 1: You can kind of imagine the president as a badjan
- 30:50Speaker 1: saying with his hey, hey, let's let's get the most
- 30:53Speaker 1: fanatical global warming believers in the world to come to
- 30:55Speaker 1: our country. Let's throw a UN conference on global warming
- 30:59Speaker 1: and will get politicians and activists and new and officials
- 31:02Speaker 1: and bureaucrats to all those fingerwagers in one room, seventy
- 31:05Speaker 1: two thousand of them, and then we'll hit them with
- 31:09Speaker 1: a truth bomb. Yrh hypocrites, you know, oil and gas
- 31:13Speaker 1: of God's give to humanity or that's exactly what It
- 31:16Speaker 1: sounds preposterous, but that's exactly what happened in Baku last night,
- 31:20Speaker 1: the capital of Ozerbayan, which is hosting this latest u
- 31:24Speaker 1: In Conference of Climate change or in vinced Chris Boone,
- 31:26Speaker 1: would you know it's going to go there in a
- 31:28Speaker 1: few days, Please stop him, don't take our money. There's
- 31:32Speaker 1: no doubt all these warmers would have gone there expecting
- 31:36Speaker 1: to get what they got in the warm Up Act yesterday.
- 31:40Speaker 1: You know, the president of this global warming mass worship
- 31:44Speaker 1: preaching doom and gloom collags.
- 31:47Speaker 12: We are on the road to ruin.
- 31:51Speaker 1: But these are not the future problems.
- 31:54Speaker 12: Climate change is already here, from flood at homes in Spain,
- 32:00Speaker 12: to forest fires in Australia, from rising oceans in the Pacific,
- 32:05Speaker 12: two Barton planes in East Africa. Whether you see them
- 32:09Speaker 12: or not, people are suffering in the shadows. They are
- 32:14Speaker 12: dying in the dark, and they need more than compassion.
- 32:19Speaker 1: Yeah, could someone tell that Goose that we haven't had
- 32:22Speaker 1: serious fires in Australia for nearly five years now? I mean,
- 32:27Speaker 1: what is he talking about? But that's what it is
- 32:29Speaker 1: made in rows for, right, Trying and terrify the world
- 32:31Speaker 1: is abuying whatever they think of next, eating insects instead
- 32:34Speaker 1: of made getting rid of your petrol cars hanging over
- 32:38Speaker 1: your wallet of course. But then came the president of Azerbaijan,
- 32:42Speaker 1: the houst country, brilliant first prising, but there's delegates that
- 32:48Speaker 1: actually come to attack oil and gas.
- 32:51Speaker 9: I understand that this topic is not very popular at
- 32:55Speaker 9: climate change conference, but without that my comments.
- 32:59Speaker 1: Would not be complete.
- 33:00Speaker 11: It's the gift of the God.
- 33:02Speaker 1: Every natural resource where.
- 33:04Speaker 9: This oil, gas, wind, some gold, silver, copper, all.
- 33:11Speaker 13: That unnatural resources, and countries should not be blamed for
- 33:16Speaker 13: having them and should not be blamed for bringing these
- 33:21Speaker 13: resources to the market because the market needs them, the people.
- 33:25Speaker 1: Needs them, and this country exports a lot of gas.
- 33:29Speaker 1: But what really God is go to is that Europe
- 33:31Speaker 1: has been begging for even more of it. While European
- 33:34Speaker 1: pologies means oh had terrible gas global warming. Well, this
- 33:39Speaker 1: president really went to turn on them well, the UN
- 33:42Speaker 1: Secretary General, one of the worst allows had to just
- 33:46Speaker 1: sit and listen and eat that sandwich. Eight out of
- 33:51Speaker 1: ten countries which.
- 33:53Speaker 9: Had access to other vaginny gas are Europeans, and European
- 34:00Speaker 9: Commission also asked us to double gas supply to Europe
- 34:07Speaker 9: by twenty twenty seven. Unfortunately, double standards, a habit to
- 34:12Speaker 9: lecture other countries, and political hypocrisy became kind of modus
- 34:19Speaker 9: operandi for some politicians, state control angels, and fake news
- 34:26Speaker 9: media in some Western countries.
- 34:32Speaker 1: There are some people they liked it, but you know,
- 34:36Speaker 1: system me, this whole Global Woman skas running out of puffa.
- 34:39Speaker 1: By the way, seventy two thousand people Global Woman Warriors
- 34:43Speaker 1: went to Ezebajan seventy two thousand. What about their emissions?
- 34:47Speaker 1: Could I do this every the internet on teams or something?
- 34:51Speaker 1: Joined me? A Daniel Wild, Deputy executive director with Institute
- 34:54Speaker 1: of Public Vesigath Hamilton, a federal liberal impay from Queensland.
- 34:58Speaker 1: A Daniel Wild. And how good was that little dose
- 35:01Speaker 1: of reality?
- 35:05Speaker 11: It's very enjoyable, Andrew.
- 35:07Speaker 6: And look, the President of Azerbaijah makes an important point,
- 35:10Speaker 6: which is that nations are demanding fossil fuels, and developing
- 35:14Speaker 6: nations need fossil fuels in order to grow their economies
- 35:17Speaker 6: and to get out of poverty. So I think it's
- 35:19Speaker 6: a valuable insight that he's offered. And I think the
- 35:22Speaker 6: other point, Andrew is it's another example of how net
- 35:25Speaker 6: zero is dead. You make the point about the global
- 35:28Speaker 6: warming scare is now running out of running out of
- 35:30Speaker 6: gas to use an analogy, but I think as we
- 35:34Speaker 6: look around the world, you judge by actions and not
- 35:36Speaker 6: just words, and we've seen all across Europe we've got
- 35:39Speaker 6: countries that are cranking up their gas and their coal
- 35:42Speaker 6: fire power because they were dependent upon Russian gas. But that,
- 35:46Speaker 6: of course, when reality meets fantasy, reality always wins. And
- 35:51Speaker 6: you have to have energy sovereignty, and you've got to
- 35:53Speaker 6: have twenty four seven base low power that runs three
- 35:56Speaker 6: hundred and sixty five days a year rain.
- 35:58Speaker 1: Hail or shine.
- 35:59Speaker 6: You can't get that from when you can't get that
- 36:01Speaker 6: from solar. You can only get it from coal or
- 36:04Speaker 6: gas or nuclear and in some cases are hydro. So look,
- 36:08Speaker 6: I think we are at a turning point into net
- 36:11Speaker 6: zero and the broader global warming policies that underpin that.
- 36:18Speaker 1: Hey Gath Hamilton. Donald Trump is taking America out of
- 36:21Speaker 1: the Paris Agreement to cut their emissions. That means the
- 36:25Speaker 1: top three emitters, it's China, the US, and India. They
- 36:30Speaker 1: pump out more than half the world's emissions just between
- 36:32Speaker 1: the three of them. They won't be bound by that
- 36:35Speaker 1: agreement anymore to cut their emissions. Indonesia isn't either, But
- 36:40Speaker 1: we are now Does that make sense? Who are we
- 36:44Speaker 1: trying to impress should we also pull out of the
- 36:46Speaker 1: Paris Agreement?
- 36:50Speaker 14: Well, firstly, who are we try to impress? I'm not
- 36:52Speaker 14: sure we're impressing the average Australian who's going through a
- 36:55Speaker 14: cost of living crisis. I can assure you, Andrew, that's
- 36:57Speaker 14: the number one issue that people are raising with me. Look,
- 37:00Speaker 14: I think we should be looking very closely and watching
- 37:02Speaker 14: very closely at what our most closest and most trusted ally,
- 37:06Speaker 14: the United States, is going to do in the short future.
- 37:10Speaker 14: When we made that commitment, Andrew, a lot has changed since.
- 37:12Speaker 14: And I want to raise with you four very important
- 37:14Speaker 14: things that have changed that underwrote our commitment at the time. Firstly,
- 37:18Speaker 14: the Great Artesian Basin Project through carbon capture, this was
- 37:21Speaker 14: going to solve a lot of our problems. That project
- 37:24Speaker 14: has fallen away, the Burdick and Pumped Hydro project. Anyone
- 37:27Speaker 14: watching the Queensland political scene, we'll have seen that that
- 37:30Speaker 14: project's fallen away and was a complete face when we
- 37:33Speaker 14: looked into it. The green hydrogen fever dream that struck
- 37:37Speaker 14: us for a while there, that's moved on as well.
- 37:39Speaker 14: People are walking away from that as quickly as they can.
- 37:42Speaker 14: And when we made that commitment snowy two point AERO
- 37:45Speaker 14: looked like it was actually going to be completed. We
- 37:47Speaker 14: shouldn't be afraid of change. We should always Every government
- 37:51Speaker 14: should be put in the concerns of the Australian people
- 37:53Speaker 14: first and that's how we should judge any policy position.
- 37:56Speaker 14: Point out policy positions aren't set in stain. Look at
- 37:59Speaker 14: nucle we're trying to change that right now. I think
- 38:02Speaker 14: we're doing that because we think it's in the best
- 38:04Speaker 14: interest of the Australian people. That's what should guide every
- 38:07Speaker 14: government's decisions.
- 38:09Speaker 1: Well, you're right to point out a lot of the
- 38:11Speaker 1: alternative green energy schemes the government has been backing have
- 38:14Speaker 1: fallen over all, gone way over budget. A lesson about
- 38:19Speaker 1: being blind to the economies of green solutions look at
- 38:23Speaker 1: the German government. It's just collapse, heading to a snap
- 38:27Speaker 1: election in February. It's collapsed after Germany's finance mins was
- 38:30Speaker 1: sacked last week after declaring Germany's economy was in such
- 38:34Speaker 1: a mess that it had to dump its own emissions targets.
- 38:38Speaker 1: Green policies were killing jobs like they're doing here, Daniel,
- 38:42Speaker 1: what does all this tell you.
- 38:47Speaker 6: Well, Andrew, Germany is not a boutique Nordic nation. You
- 38:50Speaker 6: know that the climates there look's like to point to.
- 38:53Speaker 6: It's a serious industrial manufacturing powerhouse and sophisticated advanced manu factoring.
- 39:00Speaker 6: And they're seeing the writing on the wall here. They're
- 39:03Speaker 6: seeing the economic reality, which is they cannot maintain their
- 39:07Speaker 6: economic base, they cannot maintain their leverage throughout Europe and
- 39:10Speaker 6: the broader world under these green energy policies. I mentioned
- 39:14Speaker 6: before the geopolitical component that Germany has had to face,
- 39:17Speaker 6: which is its dependency on Russian gas. And that's a
- 39:20Speaker 6: lesson to us not to be dependent upon the infrastructure
- 39:23Speaker 6: coming in from China for solar panels and wind turbines,
- 39:26Speaker 6: because we can face a very very similar issue in
- 39:30Speaker 6: the not too distant future. So as I said, before
- 39:33Speaker 6: Andrew net zero is dead. When we look around the
- 39:35Speaker 6: world and the policy actions being taken by governments, it
- 39:39Speaker 6: shows that they no longer believe in what they were
- 39:41Speaker 6: saying only three or four years ago, as Garth. Exactly
- 39:44Speaker 6: as Garth was pointing out, So much has changed in
- 39:47Speaker 6: the world, and I really do think that Donald Trump's
- 39:49Speaker 6: decision to remove America from the Paris Climate Agreement is
- 39:52Speaker 6: going to be a catalyst for more global leaders to
- 39:55Speaker 6: come out and say, hey, enough is enough. We've got
- 39:58Speaker 6: to put our citizens ahead of this global climate deal.
- 40:02Speaker 6: Try that's running our economies and our society is into
- 40:04Speaker 6: the ground.
- 40:07Speaker 1: Just quickly. One of Israel's top TV channels are Center
- 40:10Speaker 1: reported to Gaza, who found Palestinians there saying something I
- 40:14Speaker 1: don't hear from any of our pro Palestinian protests, and
- 40:18Speaker 1: I think they don't even want to know it. Stuff
- 40:20Speaker 1: that should be broadcast everywhere, that the Mas terrorist group
- 40:24Speaker 1: which is run Gaza is poison. It must be destroyed.
- 40:28Speaker 1: Listen to Palestinians themselves saying it.
- 40:39Speaker 3: Again.
- 40:55Speaker 1: He's there's much more of that, GAF Hamilton, Why don't protest?
- 41:15Speaker 1: Is he is so the same?
- 41:19Speaker 14: I think they're not connected Andrew. During the long time
- 41:22Speaker 14: that I spent working and living in the Middle East,
- 41:24Speaker 14: I heard these comments regularly. This is the true voice
- 41:27Speaker 14: of the Arab people in the Middle East. Bit with
- 41:30Speaker 14: isis hamas Hezbala the impact of Iran directly. They know
- 41:35Speaker 14: the poison that is playing out, They know who is
- 41:37Speaker 14: causing the harm over there. They have for a long time.
- 41:40Speaker 14: It's very, very sad that those here in Australia trying
- 41:42Speaker 14: to bring that discord to our nation refuse to speak
- 41:47Speaker 14: with the same voice of those who are being impacted
- 41:49Speaker 14: by it on the ground.
- 41:52Speaker 1: Very well put Gef Hamilton, Daniel Well, thank you both
- 41:54Speaker 1: for your time. After the break, the man who crowned
- 41:57Speaker 1: the king now forced to resign, and a friend of
- 42:01Speaker 1: mine gets grumpy and embarrasses Britain's Prime minister. Now what
- 42:07Speaker 1: a fall the world saw. Justin Welby crown the new king, Charles,
- 42:12Speaker 1: but now well be Archbishop of Canterbury, the titular head
- 42:14Speaker 1: of the world's eighty five million Anglicans, has be forced
- 42:17Speaker 1: to quit for not doing enough about, or some say
- 42:21Speaker 1: even covering up pedophilia in his church, well child abuse,
- 42:25Speaker 1: at any rate, not doing more when he was warned
- 42:26Speaker 1: about embarrassacle John Smith, a saddess to abuse boys at
- 42:30Speaker 1: Christian summer camps organized by the church, beat them so
- 42:34Speaker 1: bad that someone left dripping with blood, and this apparently
- 42:36Speaker 1: went on for decades. Wellby said he didn't really know
- 42:38Speaker 1: what was going on. Has now said, well, when I
- 42:41Speaker 1: was informed about this guy in twenty thirteen, I was
- 42:44Speaker 1: told that police have been notified. I believe wrongly that
- 42:47Speaker 1: an appropriate resolution would follow. It is very clear that
- 42:50Speaker 1: I must take personal institutional responsibility for the long and
- 42:53Speaker 1: re traumatizing period between twenty thirteen and twenty twenty four.
- 42:58Speaker 1: Might see a harsh call, but remember how woke Wilby was.
- 43:01Speaker 1: He called on white Christians to repented the prejudices after
- 43:04Speaker 1: the killing of George Floyd over in America, but supposed
- 43:07Speaker 1: he didn't do much about real crimes right under his
- 43:10Speaker 1: own nose. Join me from London as Patrick Christie's star
- 43:13Speaker 1: presenter of gb News. Patrick Gragersie, again, I haven't seen
- 43:16Speaker 1: proof that will be actually new decades ago about this
- 43:20Speaker 1: monster and all that he had done the guys. Since
- 43:23Speaker 1: that is it right that he slipped down.
- 43:26Speaker 11: I think it is right that he steps down. There
- 43:28Speaker 11: are rumblings that he had an inkling that there was
- 43:30Speaker 11: something wrong with John smythe back in nineteen eighty one,
- 43:34Speaker 11: which is a heck of a long time to maybe
- 43:36Speaker 11: become a bit more inquisitive about the whole thing. Then
- 43:39Speaker 11: in twenty thirteen he did actually know, So he had
- 43:42Speaker 11: the dossier of all of the evidence or some of
- 43:45Speaker 11: the evidence anyway about John Smile, and then he decided
- 43:47Speaker 11: to just set that to one side. And that meant
- 43:50Speaker 11: that when this monster died in twenty eighteen, he died
- 43:54Speaker 11: without ever having faced justice. But you're right about Welby
- 43:57Speaker 11: in terms of how woke is. And I've got a
- 43:58Speaker 11: bit of a theory about this Andrew. I mean, he
- 44:00Speaker 11: must have known that something like this was coming down
- 44:03Speaker 11: the track. I mean, he must have known that there
- 44:04Speaker 11: was a review into this and what that review would find.
- 44:08Speaker 11: And I can't help but wonder whether or not banging
- 44:10Speaker 11: on about slavery reparations, banging on about open borders, entertaining
- 44:14Speaker 11: all of the gender nonsense and the climate crisis and
- 44:18Speaker 11: all of that, everything that well be's done. Reparations for slavery,
- 44:21Speaker 11: I mean, one hundred million pounds he set aside from
- 44:24Speaker 11: the Church of England for approach slavery, whether or not
- 44:26Speaker 11: all of that was a bit of a cover to
- 44:28Speaker 11: try to curry favor with the woke lot before this landed.
- 44:34Speaker 1: Honestly, I'm so reminded of Missus Jellyby and Charles Dickens's
- 44:37Speaker 1: great novel Bleak House that could see all the way
- 44:40Speaker 1: to Africa, that helped the people there, but couldn't see
- 44:43Speaker 1: what was going on under her own nose at home.
- 44:46Speaker 1: I've got to say you've created an embarrassment for your
- 44:49Speaker 1: Prime minister because you interviewed a friend of mine, John Matturnan,
- 44:53Speaker 1: a former senior advisor to Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair.
- 44:58Speaker 1: Now he tells me in his defense that you kept
- 45:01Speaker 1: him waiting for half an hour and maybe he got
- 45:03Speaker 1: a bit techy, I don't know. But he then let
- 45:05Speaker 1: me fly about the farmers who are planning to strike
- 45:10Speaker 1: against the government blocks shops and everything, or the wharves.
- 45:15Speaker 1: Their protesting gets a massive tax increase by this labor government.
- 45:19Speaker 2: Here's John personally in favor of doing to you know,
- 45:23Speaker 2: a farmer. I want to go on the streets. We
- 45:24Speaker 2: can do to them what Margaret Thacher did the miners
- 45:28Speaker 2: so just.
- 45:28Speaker 11: To be clear, Johnny, you would what beat them up?
- 45:32Speaker 2: No, close, there's an industry we could do with that.
- 45:35Speaker 2: If people are so upset they want to go on
- 45:37Speaker 2: the streets the spray slurry on them, then we don't
- 45:40Speaker 2: need the small farmers.
- 45:43Speaker 1: That's a rather brutal statement. Tells me he meant to
- 45:47Speaker 1: be flipping. Didn't come across that way. And the British
- 45:49Speaker 1: Prime Minister all the way in that climate summon, the
- 45:51Speaker 1: Nazerbaja we were talking about earlier in the show, had
- 45:54Speaker 1: to say, oh no, that's not our plans. What sort
- 45:56Speaker 1: of impact has this made?
- 45:59Speaker 11: It a much bigger impact that I have thought it would. Actually,
- 46:02Speaker 11: it has had several million views online and a lot
- 46:04Speaker 11: of people are saying, well, Labour letting the cat out
- 46:08Speaker 11: of the bag, which is that this is their plan
- 46:10Speaker 11: really to hammer small farmers into the ground. I mean,
- 46:13Speaker 11: the fact is that their plans will do that. People
- 46:16Speaker 11: are going to have to sell up their farms. We're
- 46:18Speaker 11: going to end up having to import more food from
- 46:20Speaker 11: abroad and it is a bit of a hair brained policy.
- 46:23Speaker 11: And are there are protest planned for the nineteenth where
- 46:28Speaker 11: goodness only knows what could happen but you know, I mean,
- 46:31Speaker 11: they used to call the Conservatives the nasty party, but
- 46:33Speaker 11: when you have a look at the way that the
- 46:34Speaker 11: Labor Party had been going around quite callously doing this stuff,
- 46:38Speaker 11: you could argue that's quite nasty. It's also not a
- 46:40Speaker 11: great look that our Minister for Rural Affairs was in
- 46:44Speaker 11: Columbia at a climate change conference, which obviously he'd flown
- 46:48Speaker 11: to at the time that it was announced that farmers
- 46:51Speaker 11: in this country were going to get hammered, and he
- 46:53Speaker 11: doesn't really seem to care about it.
- 46:59Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know this whole thing. Farmers seem to
- 47:01Speaker 1: be getting in the neck all over Europe and New
- 47:04Speaker 1: Zealand had protests to often global warming reasons. This is
- 47:07Speaker 1: more about not being able to pass on their farm
- 47:10Speaker 1: to their children with what's really a death duty, like
- 47:14Speaker 1: nobody's business. Alison Pearson, there's a columns with the Daily Telegraph,
- 47:19Speaker 1: conservative paper, had two police officers turn up to her
- 47:24Speaker 1: home I remember Sunday to inform her she was being
- 47:27Speaker 1: investigated over a post on x last year. They claimed
- 47:31Speaker 1: third racial hatred. She said, what post? They said, Oh,
- 47:34Speaker 1: we don't know. We can't tell you who complained. Oh,
- 47:38Speaker 1: we don't know or we can't tell you. This is
- 47:40Speaker 1: like a Kafka novel. What's going on? Yeah?
- 47:44Speaker 11: Well, can I just say, as somebody who has Alison
- 47:46Speaker 11: Parson on my panel, I would not have liked to
- 47:48Speaker 11: have been the police officers that knocked on her door
- 47:51Speaker 11: to inform her that they were investigating. This is absolutely bonkers.
- 47:58Speaker 11: It's completely boxed. I thought we'd let this go. Remember
- 48:01Speaker 11: when it was all kicking off in the summer riots
- 48:02Speaker 11: and people were being arrested left right center. I thought
- 48:05Speaker 11: we'd move beyond that. But to have someone like Alison
- 48:07Speaker 11: Pearson conceivably facing charges she's not allowed to know who's
- 48:11Speaker 11: made the complaint, she's not allowed to know what the
- 48:13Speaker 11: complaint is almost impossible. Therefore to form of defense, isn't
- 48:16Speaker 11: it really? I mean, Alison person has got the support
- 48:18Speaker 11: of the nation here, and it's very, very, very worrying times.
- 48:21Speaker 11: If you think that our police force feels comfortable enough
- 48:24Speaker 11: knocking on the door of one of this country's best
- 48:26Speaker 11: known journalists, one of the most kind of, you know,
- 48:29Speaker 11: strongest columnists, then they wouldn't mind doing it for anybody else?
- 48:32Speaker 11: Would They designed to scare people?
- 48:34Speaker 1: I think, Oh, Petrick, well, this is just straight out
- 48:38Speaker 1: of the trial by Franz Cover. I mean of keeping
- 48:40Speaker 1: you in literary references. This is weird. Patrick Crissi's thanks
- 48:43Speaker 1: for your time. That's it from me. Sherry Marchin next
- 48:46Speaker 1: good night,
