  Speaker 2: This is the Reader Panalty Show.

  Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panney Show.
• 0:11
  Speaker 4: Coming up tonight, Melbourne labeled cold, broke and a terrible
• 0:15
  Speaker 4: place to invest.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: I'll speak to Nick Kata about that.
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: Shortly, Professor Ian Plymer on Matt Keane's latest.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Claims about nuclear energy.
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: We'll also have the latest from the US with Army Horowitz,
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: including just how much more the Democrats are spending than
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: the Trump campaign and later in the hour he is
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: an absolute gem. We're thrilled to have Alex Epstein. He
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: had to fact check some of the boldest lies told
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: by mitzero activists and of course left he's losing it.
• 0:44
  Speaker 5: What's more dangerous? Straight white conservative men or axe murderers?
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: A straight white conservative man?
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: Why is he more dangerous?
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Because they're capable of doing anything.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: They're crazy.
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: We'll make them crazy.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: They're wait.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: But first, King Charles and Queen Camilla's royal to where
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: of Australia has come to an end.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: They farewelled Sydney this morning.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: Crowds have flocked to us see the royal couple during
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: their visits to Canberra and Sydney. During their final full
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: day in Australia, the King and Queen took part in
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: a community barbecue in Parramatta before heading over to the
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: Sydney Opera House, where they were greeted by hundreds of fans.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: They observed a military display around Sydney.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Harbor, and after being on her feet for almost the
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: entire day, Queen Camilla was seen carrying her heels as
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: she returned to Admiralty House barefoot. You've got to love that.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: She should have stayed on for the Melbourne Cup. That's
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: what all the ladies do there. The visit, as we know,
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: was not without controversy. We'll discuss Lydia Thorpe a little
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: more later, but there was also that damage, and there
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: has been a development there with a man being charged
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: with malicious damage after Sydney's iconic Queen Victoria statue was
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: defaced with red pain.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Let's get a senior fellow.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: At the Menzies Research Center, Nick Kater, into her discuss
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: the latest news of the day.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Nick.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Lydia Thorpe did certainly still many of the headlines during
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: this royal tour. What were your feelings about King Charles
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: and Queen Kimilla.
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: I was smitten. I have to say, Rita, I was
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: in the crowd on Sunday looking at them from a
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: great distance. As close as I got. I didn't get
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: to meet the King or the Queen, but look, I
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: think it was terrific they were here. I mean for
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: those of us. In fact, I guess almost everybody who's
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: watching this program would only have known one monarch, and
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: that was Queen Elizabeth. And we all were nervous about
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: the transition of power, how that would go, because we've
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: never seen it before, but it's gone seamlessly. And to
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: have King here, the King here, was just to put
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: the stamp on that. So I'm very much grateful that
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: his Majesty came. And you're hearing from a convinced royalist.
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: Jim mononkis chair, Rita, So I'm afraid that's about the
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: best I can say.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I'm interested in your thoughts on Senator Lydia
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Thorpe because her antics are still being debated and criticized,
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: as I her demands, because it wasn't just a stunt.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: She does have a list.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Of demands she once met.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: And she has been criticized for being an enthusiastic participant
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: a beneficiary of the system she claims to hate. And
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: not only is she senator in the Australian Parliament on
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: her healthy salary, fantastic benefits, but she's also a regular
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: nick in the ultra exclusive quantus Chairman's Lounge. Now, how
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: does she reconcile that with her thoughts on Australia.
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: Well, you've got to remember, Rita that the Chairman's Club
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: always was and always will be ourboriginal land, sovereignty, never
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: seed it. So it's actually lucky that she.
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: Lets the rest of us in it.
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: Course. But look, I mean, I'm really astounded that the
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: Senate cannot get together and vote her out because she
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: did take a loyal oath when she came into office,
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: all bit through gritted teeth, to the Sovereign, to the Crown,
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: and she's clearly disobeyed that and clearly shown that she
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: didn't mean that one inch by her outrageous behavior on
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: the in this week. I mean, this very unkempt, unprincipled
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: woman stands up and starts screaming senities at the King,
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: and she is a member of our Parliament. I'm embarrassed
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: by that, quite frankly, and I think the Senate. I'm
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: surprised that the Senate doesn't seem to think it's got
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: the powers to actually get her out or make her
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: accountable for that, because they should.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: I know she's got plenty of criticism, and rightly so,
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: but I do think she will see this week as
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: a win. She has had enormous coverage overseas, particularly in
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: the British media, and there'll be plenty of Republicans here
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: who might quietly agree with some of her points, which
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: tells you more about them. I guess now I'm going
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: to play some painful footage. Painful for Victorians.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Nick.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Here are some folk in Glasgow telling Harold Sun reporter
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: knew he just how happy they are that long suffering
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Victorian taxpayers are paying for their Commonwealth games.
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: We've been executive the opportunity and how to develop the
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: people testity.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, together, it's give them the place a little buzz here.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: I'm really exciting to have something actually in Scotland than
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: something to travel elsewhere.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I think it's very good for the city. Most of
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: that quet number of people about to visit the city.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: That's pretty bringing for an income.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure it'll be great for them.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: I'm sure it'll be fantastic to have all the tourists
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: and the locals enjoying the Commonwealth.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Games that we've paid for.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Victorians have played around six hundred million in total, and
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: around two hundred million of that going to Glasgow to
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: actually hold the games.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: The state's not in a good place, Nick.
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: No, it's not, you said the introduction of the show's
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: cold and broke and unbankable, and it's certainly cold. I
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: always find it cold, and I was either whether not
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: being too kind you down there at the moment. And
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: it's got one hundred and fifty six billion dollars state
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: debt and that's going to rise to almost one hundred
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: and ninety billion by twenty twenty eight. And no wonder
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: because they keep throwing money around like confetti and then
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: end up you know, oh they decided they didn't want
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: the games after all, but they've still got to pay
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: money to Scotland. It's disgraceful. And you know, Dan Andrews
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: is the mystery to me is anybody ever voted for him?
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: But plainly people down there there did. Perhaps the cold
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: gets to their heads or something. But you know, he
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: is what he is and I just think that which
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: is desperate for an opposition that can turn itself open
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: to a government, well, I.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Think you just hit the nail on the head.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: Then he got re elected, not only because he was
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: a skillful politician, but he had no opposition. And I
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: think people look at Victorians like were some sort of
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: a freak show.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: But when you've got a.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Completely spineless, principleless hopeless opposition, then you do have the
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: other side elected quite easily. Now, one of Australia's top
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: property developers, him Gerner, has weighed in on Victoria's housing
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: crisis and the dire state of Melbourne. He told the
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Australian Financial Review that the strong consensus in other states
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: is that Victoria is broke, it's cold, and your property
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: prices don't go up.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: While would you invest in Melbourne when there's been next.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: To zero capital growth and the state has a massive
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: debt problem. But Nick Gernar is supportive of the stamp
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: duty discount being offered by the just to Alan government,
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: saying it'd give investors a reason to consider the city again.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: But I've got to say I'm going to disagree. I
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: think this is an absolute travesty. I wrote about this
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: in Today's Herald's Son The entire scheme seems to be
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: hair braining these towers that are going to be building
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: along train stations, but just on this stamp duty discount.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: It's just so unfair.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: On the face of it, a family buying a brand new,
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: modestly priced house and land package out in the suburbs
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: to live in white qualify for that discount. But you
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: might have someone who's buying a penthouse off the plan
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: for three million dollars that they plan to rent out
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: and they will qualify for the discounts. It seems to
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: be designed just to entice people to buy off the
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: plan apartments, something that hasn't been a fantastic investment in
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: recent years.
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: Nick, Yeah, yeah, I mean that's right. Land Act is
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: incredibly unfair form of taxation. All forms of taxation are
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: unfair in my view, but this is particularly unfair because
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: you're taxing people on unrealized capital gains essentially, and as
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: you're right in saying that if you build a sixty
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: story tail block, if you were to build such a
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: thing in Melbourne and stick lots of apartments in there,
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: the land tax per unit to be relatively low. But
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: if you've got an elderly person who's living in the
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: family home or they've got a boarder investment property out
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: there in the suburbs on a quarter acre block of land,
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: then they're in for real, real trouble. And it does
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: punish people very hard, people that have script and saved
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: to pay off them more it is get themselves a
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: property or investment property. They're the ones being punished by this,
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: and it's just a very unfair way of doing it.
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: Stamp duty is not great, by the way, but this
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: is not the way to get rid of stamp duty.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: This is just a scheme that they're introducing to make
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: it more attractive to buy of the plan, but it
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: doesn't extend to buying off the plan for a house.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: It's only really for units apartments. And they're going to
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: nick by building these towers on train stations across Melbourne
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: without consultation, without much of a planning process, so they're
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: going to completely change the character of those suburbs. And
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: the locals have invested and have got their home as
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: their biggest investment or obviously fairly irate about that. And
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: it's not a surprise most of those train stations are
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: in liberal areas, not that there's that many of them
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: left in the city.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Now. I'm interested in a piece.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: You wrote for The Australian newspaper about the real reasons
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: behind Australia's declining birth rate. Australian National University demographer Is
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: Alan told the Sydney Morning Herald that it's housing affordability,
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: economic insecurity, gender inequality and climate boiling. That's the reason.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: But you point the birth rate has been falling since
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: nineteen fifty nine, when the average house in Sydney was
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: less than ten thousand dollars in today's money one hundred
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: and eighty two thousand dollars in today's money ten thousand
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: dollars back then. So what is the real reason behind
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: our birth rate plumbating?
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: Well, serious democracies really can't tell you because there's so
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: many factors here. It is possible that housing may deter
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: people to some extent from having children, but it's far
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: from the only reason, because when you look at it,
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: this is a trend that's been going on since the
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: late fifties early sixties in the entire world. Right even
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: in places like Thailand, they are now way below our
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: birth rate and way below replacement level, even though they
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: had a birth rate of six in the nineteen sixties.
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: So everywhere except Sub Saharan Africa, birth rates have fall
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: and off a cliff and are continuing to fall. And
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: so contrary to what the environmentalists have been telling us
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: for the last fifty years that were in trouble because
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: there's too many people, the fact is there's too few people.
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: That's a real problem. And there's a problem with obviously
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: assuredage of labor around the world, not just here. And
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: it seems to me extraordinary that so few serious politicians
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: or policymakers have even mentioned this, let alone worked out
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: what we do about it, because we have got to
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: do something about it, sooner or later. We can't keep
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: making up for it in immigration.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: Well, that seems to be the fix, isn't it. That's
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: the band Aida method that they have used. We did
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: have that have a baby for the country under the
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: Howard government, didn't we We had the baby bonus and Peter
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: Costello remember that work picture with him with all the
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: newborn babies that did work.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: We saw a bit of a spike there they were.
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: I do like it.
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: Hung Yeah, a spike that came off at about twenty
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: ten it started to decline again.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it. I do like Hungry's approach.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: They give a massive lifetime discount to mothers for the
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: number of babies that have So if you have one child,
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: twenty five percent discount of your income tax for life.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: If you have four, forget about income tax, you're not
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: paying it. And that's seen their birth rate at skyrockett.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: They've got a few other measures to boost it as well.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: So yes, something to think about. Nikata, Thanks so much
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: for your time tonight, Thank you.
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: Rider.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: Joining me now is leading geologist and author Professor Ian Plymer,
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: and let's start with Prime Minister Anthony Albernizi and Foreign
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: Minister Pennywong.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: They're heading off to.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: Samoa for the twenty twenty four Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting,
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: which King Charles will also be attending. And it seems
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: Australia is about to experience another climate shakedown with Pacific
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: nations putting pressure on Australia over fossil fuel exports.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: How much is this trip going to cost us, Professor, Well.
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: It's going to cost us a huge amount of money. Secondly,
• 13:59
  Speaker 8: it's going to cost us a lot of credibility.
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: Here.
• 14:02
  Speaker 8: We have two people from the Australian government and they're
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: entourage who are flying there now unless they're going to
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: swim from Manly Beach across this somehow, and they're going
• 14:12
  Speaker 8: to be using a lot of fossil fuels.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: To get there.
• 14:15
  Speaker 8: And these fossil fuels, some of the South Pacific Island
• 14:19
  Speaker 8: islanders claim putting carbon dioxide.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: In the air.
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: This is warming the climate and the sea level is rising. Well,
• 14:26
  Speaker 8: that's contrary to data that we've had since eighteen forty
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: two on this part of the world. It's contrary to
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: what we know about carbon dioxide. So I think this
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: is yet again a massive display of hypocrisy, and yet
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: again our Prime Minister running away from problems in Australia
• 14:44
  Speaker 8: and gallivanting somewhere else around the world.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: And I fear that the checkbook will come out at
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: some point during this trip. So let's just brace ourselves
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: for that now. The chair of Labour's Climate Change Authority,
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: Matt Keane for Liberal Treasure of New South Wales, has
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: lashed out at nuclear energy advocates, accusing them of being
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: delay mongers who are trying to prevent renewables from succeeding.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: He labeled a push for nuclear and more gas as
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: and I quote, an illiberal drive to intervene in the
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: market led energy transition. And he also went on to
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: say that the delay mongers have latched onto nuclear power
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: despite the overwhelming evidence that he can only drive up
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: energy bills, can only be more expensive, and can only
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: take too long to build. This in a cost of
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: living crisis. It seems to me that people calling for
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: gas to be included in the capacity investment scheme are
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: trying to stop renewables in are very very interested in
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: your response to Matt Keane's claims.
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: There, Well, this is just Sheer's stupidity. Mister Keane should
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: know that when Finland put in its reactions the latest reactors,
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: the cost of electricity went down and the retailer and
• 16:07
  Speaker 8: the wholesaler also had lower costs. So we have evidence.
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: Very recently, we've just had the Page Research Center do
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: a study on the cost of energy. This was done
• 16:21
  Speaker 8: by Gerrard Holland, and he looked at solar and wind,
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: he looked at nuclear, looked at gas, and looked at coal.
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: By far the most expensive energy in Australia. Is solar
• 16:32
  Speaker 8: and wind. This is when you look at the total costs,
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: the land use changes, the putting in the new power lines,
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: et cetera, Nuclear is quite cheap compared with that, Gas
• 16:43
  Speaker 8: is also cheap, as his coal coals the cheapest, and
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: that's because we already have the infrastructure for coal. Now,
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: what mister Keane doesn't say is that sol and wind
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: are not reliable, whereas nuclear, gas and coal are reliable.
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: What he doesn't say is that sol and wind have
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: a very short life, less than twenty years, whereas nuclear
• 17:06
  Speaker 8: is at least sixty years for a nuclear power plant.
• 17:09
  Speaker 8: It's more than forty years for gas, more than fifty
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: years for coal. What he doesn't say is that our
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: future demands for energy are going to increase enormously. We're
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: already using ten percent of energy for data centers with AI,
• 17:23
  Speaker 8: it's going to be a lot higher. And what he's
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: really saying is that the practical economics of the nuclear
• 17:33
  Speaker 8: lobby groups are starting to frighten people. The practical economics
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: of the gas groups are starting to frighten the wind
• 17:40
  Speaker 8: and solar people. These are the cheapest and most reliable
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: and best forms of energy we can have in a
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: country like Australia. And so we've got all these foreign
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: corporations who are running the solar and running the wind,
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: who are lining up for their subsidies, and the subsidies
• 17:57
  Speaker 8: make the energy renewable. The subsidies say keep getting renewed.
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: And he's getting worried that the whistle's going to get
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: blown on this. And we can see around the world
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: that we can have cheap, reliable energy for very long
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: periods of time from nuclear. So I recommend that viewers
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: look at Gerard Holland's report from the Page Research Center.
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: He aired these findings at the AIC conference on Tuesday,
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: and these are showing that we are going down the
• 18:31
  Speaker 8: wrong path. We've got far too many vested interests who
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: are whisperinging mister Keynes here. He doesn't understand the fundamentals
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: of energy generation, and he doesn't understand the fundamental weaknesses
• 18:42
  Speaker 8: of solar and wind.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: And I do love the comment he has here about
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: the illiberal drive to intervene in the market led energy transition.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: But what do they do so much exactly?
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: There has been so much market manipulation subsidies to pretend
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: that this is something that's being led by the market,
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: it's purely organic, is just wishful thinking. I've got an
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: early Lefty losing it for you. It's from the New
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: Zealand Greens.
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: Coal, don't dig it, live in the ground, get with it.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: I don't know what to say, But what do you
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: say to the New Zealand Greens this, Prefessor Pliman.
• 19:33
  Speaker 8: I think they've been taking some of Kamala House scripts
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: and talking from them. I have no idea what they're
• 19:39
  Speaker 8: talking about. But what we do know is that the
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: New Zealand coals on the west coast of South Island
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: exceptionally clean, very high calorific value, very low ash and
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: upprised coals. New Zealand does have energy from other sources
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: from oil and gas in the Taranaki base, and some
• 20:00
  Speaker 8: get thermal energy. That the New Zealand colls are some
• 20:02
  Speaker 8: of the best in the world. I have no idea
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: what they're trying to say, except that perhaps they want
• 20:08
  Speaker 8: New Zealand to become even more backward.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: I think that would actually enjoy that very much, Professor
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: im Plymer, thank you so much for your time this evening.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: Thank you still to came a bumper edition of Lefties
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: Losing It and Army. Horowetz joins me with these laters
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: from the US, including just how much more are the
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: Democrats spending compared to Donald Trump?
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Welcome back. Now it's time for lefties losing it.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: And here is some great advice from Kamala Harris telling
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: US supporters to be just like Jimmy Carter go out
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: and vote early, followed by mad cackling naturally.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: So look, it's Jimmy Carter. You can vote early. You
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: can do. Jimmy Carter voted early.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: We did have the Washington Post claiming he's very excited
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: about Kamala.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Let's check in on Jimmy Carter.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: This is the former president on his one hundredth birthday,
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: just a few weeks ago, enjoying, hopefully enjoying a military flyover.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, really, shame on his family for putting him
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: on display in that state. Whatever you think of Emi
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: was a former president, he deserves a little dignity. You
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: think his family would be watching out for him. Joe
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: Biden's family has been accused of elder abuse over.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: The years, but then you hear a speech like this.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: From Joe and you suddenly stop feeling sorry for him.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: Before the cognitive decline. He was a dishonest scrote and
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: he's still a dishonest scrote. Here he is earlier today
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: expressing a desire to lock up Donald Trump.
• 22:09
  Speaker 9: He means it.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: This is not a joke.
• 22:13
  Speaker 9: This the guy who also wants to replace every civil servant,
• 22:17
  Speaker 9: every single one. Thinks he has a raton of the
• 22:20
  Speaker 9: Supreme Court ruling on immunity to be able to need
• 22:24
  Speaker 9: me if it was the case to actually eliminate physically eliminate,
• 22:29
  Speaker 9: should kill someone who is he needs to be a
• 22:33
  Speaker 9: threat to him. I mean, so, I know this sounds bizarre.
• 22:38
  Speaker 9: It sounds like I said this five years ago. You
• 22:41
  Speaker 9: locked me up. We gotta like him up.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: If you like him. Did he just claim that Donald
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: Trump wants to shoot and kill someone he.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: Perceives as a threat.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: Joe Biden is again inciting violence again, President Trump, and
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: after two assassination attempts in two months, appalling.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: And now let's check in on the man.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: Who some various stuede observers believe has been the one
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: pulling their puppet strings throughout the Biden Harris Administration's rain
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: old mate Barack Obama just.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: Can't understand how we got so toxic.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: I don't understand how we got so toxic and just
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: so divide and so better.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: And I get why sometimes people just don't want to
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: pay attention to.
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: The hoodspa of that man never fails to astoud. It's
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: like an arsonist holding a match saying I don't understand
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: why it's hot all of a sudden, where these flames
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: come from?
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Look in the mirror, champ. Okay, I've tried to.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: Avoid this for as long as I can, but here
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: is some local lefties losing it content Senator Lydia Thorpe
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: launching into an unhinged tirade against King Charles.
• 23:58
  Speaker 9: Aside.
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: Again something people do, not our land, that give us
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: one this style from us.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Our bones, our scar, our baby, our people.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: He's out that we want to training in this country here.
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: This is not your lab, this is not your la.
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: I'm not.
• 24:26
  Speaker 8: Now.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: This left is losing its segment gets millions of views
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: every week around the world. We have a massive audience
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: overseas and they'll be shocked to learn that Lydia Thorpius,
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: the screaming banshee just saw, is a senator in the
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: Australian Parliament.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: I will not.
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: Stand for racist racism in my workplace.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: You are not helping the situation. And the Prime Minister
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: knows exactly what he's doing. He wants that's just to
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: come out and get me.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: So where is my apart?
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: Fuck you?
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: Finally, here is Senator Olivia Thorpe doing some of her
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: best work outside a strip club in Melbourne.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: This was just last year.
• 25:16
  Speaker 8: To you and you man that stands with what like that?
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: Someone get in Parliament, press and you you. She seems
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: like a good time but sadly, Senatoralia Thorpe received a
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: lifetime ban from that particular establishment. Maxine's Gentleman's Club in
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: Brunswick will no longer allow her entry. Sad Okay, let's
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: go back to laughing at lefties losing it overseas. Here
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: is a racist lefty in America. You know how she's voting.
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: What's more dangerous? Straight white conservative men or axe murderers?
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: A straight white conservative man?
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Why is he more dangerous?
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Because they're capable of doing anything.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: They're crazy.
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: We'll make them crazy.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: They're white.
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: You don't think that's racist at all?
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: No, And here is another woman back in Kamala because
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: she thinks Donald Trump will take her birth control away.
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: If you were to vote for anybody in twenty twenty four,
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: who is it going to be?
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Kamala Harris?
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Why is that?
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: Because I like having rates, having rights.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: I'm gay and I enjoy being able to marry who
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: I want, be open about that at work.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: I'm also a woman. I take birth control. I like
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: being able to do that.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: Just exactly what rights did a gay women lose under
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump's administration? And why would he want her to
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: stop taking birth control? She's a lesbian, Why is she
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: taking birth control? The whole thing is confusing me. Now,
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: this lady has really isolated the most important thing in
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: this campaign. You better listen to her, you pack of
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: sexist pigs.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Regardless of who you're voting for. Stop referring to our
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: presidential candidate as just Kamala. It's Kamala Harris. We do
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: not talk about the other person running and say Donald, right,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: we don't just say Donald. Maybe we should, maybe we
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: should start calling him Donnie. But up until this point,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: people have only felt comfortable referring to women in power
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: by just their first names because they do not respect
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: women in power. They did the same exact thing to Clinton.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: So if you have an ounce of feminism in your
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: body at the very least, say Kamala Harris.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: Ah dear.
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: Doesn't it just fill you with warmth and confidence knowing
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: that folks like that vote. Here is a couple wanting
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: to send conservatives to re education camp. Just feel the
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: tolerance and empathy here.
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: We're trying to send conservatives to re education camps to
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: be more accepting.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: Uh yeah, oh, elliot, all.
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: Right, So you would support take their rights away and
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: sending them to the camps forcefully? Would you be in
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: support of banning conservatives from voting?
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: I feel like everyone is to vote.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: Oh, you're taking the rights away to a re education camp.
• 28:15
  Speaker 8: That is true.
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: Now, this next clip may have a little creative input.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: We will check in with the lip readers on what
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: was actually said, but I like to think it was
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: something like this.
• 28:26
  Speaker 9: So is Kamala doing Okay, Nope, she's down Joe.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Now we're basically Trump is killing us at the pole.
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: So yes, we're gonna lose.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Joe, damn it.
• 28:38
  Speaker 9: Wait, wait, what if I come back to run again
• 28:42
  Speaker 9: as candidate?
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: Well, uh.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: No, job man, You're not going back.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: Shot.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Let's let it all play out.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's just we'll talk later.
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: Joe.
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: Okay, women looking fine up in here.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: Now, let's bring in documentary filmmaker and commentator Army Horoid's Army.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: A lipreada engaged by The New.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: York Post has deciphered what really occurred during that exchange
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: between Joe Biden and Barack Obama at Ethel Kennedy's funeral.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: While caught on camera, the conversation was drowned out by
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: the organ music, but professional lip reader Jeremy Freeman. Freeman,
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: who's got sixteen years of experience, thinks this is what
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: was said. She's not as strong as me, said Biden,
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: and then Obama replies, I know that's true.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: We have time.
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: And then Biden comes back with, yeah, we'll get it
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: in time.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: What do you think about all that army? Are they right?
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: Do they have time?
• 29:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah? The New York Post doesn't have to hire a
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: lip reader to hear me say this. No, they do
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: not have time. Look, there's two weeks left in the
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: election and they are down badly. All the momentum is
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: moving toward Trump. He's literally the lat the RC people. Look,
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: I'm a maniac, I'm a lunatic. I checked the polls,
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: every morning and a couple times a day. He's down
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: in every single swing state, every single one, count them
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: all seven. Look they just said the quiet part. Quietly.
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: She is a terrible candidate and terrible at everything else.
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: This is why she's down. And by the way, Liz
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: Cheney is not gonna save your election. Look the word
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: shot in freud. Okay, this is a German word shot
• 30:31
  Speaker 7: in which means which means harm and damage and freud,
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: which means joy literally taking comfort and joy in the
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: harm of others. That word was literally created to define
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: the state of Joe Biden's being. Right now, he is
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: living shot in freud, okay. I mean, look, Brutus and
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: Cassius have nothing on how Kamala and a Democratic Party
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: did Uncle Joe dirty. Right, he is going to reach
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: out from beyond the grave with the ultimate I told
• 31:06
  Speaker 7: you so and a middle finger to the entire Democratic Party.
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: You screwed me over and look what happened. This is
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: what's going down. Look, they even have there obviously damage
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: control going on now. And remember the Obama administration were spying.
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: The New York Post said that doesn't sound like Joe Biden,
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: really it doesn't. Oh yeah, it does. The maightiness is awesome.
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: I love it.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, it sounds like Joe Biden. Just have a
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: look at his form there is from the early days,
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: he's been bragging about himself. Remember when he was bragging
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: about what great Marxi was getting at university. That was
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: lying about all that, but he was bragging. Nonetheless, now
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: the Democrats to have an enormous advantage. They've got the
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: bulk of the mainstream media. They've got pretty much most
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: of the popular culture, from Hollywood to music industry to.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: Fashion, the whole lot.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: The polls are tied despite the Democrats having all that
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: and also outspending the Trump campaign. Kamala spent two hundred
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: and seventy million in September compared to Trump's seventy eight million.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: I don't think enough is said about this disparity and
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: the spending army. If Trump had anywhere near.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: The money the Democrats have to spend on his campaign,
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: it would be all over.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: You could be winning New York.
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah, this election would not be as close as it is.
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: Trump would actually be running away this election. If he
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: was just doing basic election blocking and tackling. He simply isn't.
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: That's just the reality of the situation. Look, Kamala Harris
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: is running a very traditional ground campaign. Okay, Right, they
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: have four times the amount of staffers than Trump does. Okay,
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: that's a massive number and a massive advice. Trump was
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: running a cult of personality campaign. Now he thinks he's
• 33:08
  Speaker 7: winning because of that. That's not actually true. He's winning
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: because he happens to be on the right side of
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: all the issues. He was winning because we had four
• 33:18
  Speaker 7: years of a horrible presidency by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Look,
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: he ran a cult of person out a campaign four
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: years ago. He lost. Okay, Look, his unconventional perform, the
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: unconventional preparation for the debate, which means he didn't prepare
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: for it. He lost the debate. He's winning because he
• 33:38
  Speaker 7: happens to be on the right side of all these issues,
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: and the momentum is on his side.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: That's the problem.
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: He has not been spending the time and money. Look,
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: she has raised billions from small dealers. She's spending time
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: raising money. He's spending time and money on his legal affairs.
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: This is a huge disadvantage for him, But ultimately he's
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: going to win because everything is flowing in his direction,
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: and he is coming after a company that nobody likes.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: Well, you just casually announced it. There, it's all over.
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: He's going to win. But that's part of the lawfare,
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: wasn't it. The law fair was designed not just to
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: further blacken his name in the eyes of the American public,
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: to have him as a convicted felon, but also to
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: distract him, to have him focused elsewhere, spending money elsewhere
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: instead of campaigning.
• 34:29
  Speaker 7: Question about Look, and by the way, to be clear,
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: I called this election last week. Now I didn't call
• 34:33
  Speaker 7: this week. I already called it last week. No, he
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: is got about that. That is actually part of their strategy,
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: no question about it. And to a certain extent, it's working.
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: It is absolutely Now President Joe Biden has once again
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: ignored his own advice. Remember he said this following the
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: first assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
• 34:52
  Speaker 9: Fellow Americans, when I was speaking to night about the
• 34:56
  Speaker 9: need for us to lower the temperature in our politics.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: But now is at it again.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: He claims that Trump is so dangerous that he ordered
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: to be locked up.
• 35:07
  Speaker 9: Thinks he has a reader of the Supreme Ruling on
• 35:09
  Speaker 9: immunity to be able to need me if it was
• 35:13
  Speaker 9: the case to actually eliminate physically, eliminate, should kill someone
• 35:20
  Speaker 9: who is he needs to be a threat to him.
• 35:23
  Speaker 9: I mean, so, I know this sounds bizarre. It sounds
• 35:27
  Speaker 9: like I said this five years ago. You'd like me up.
• 35:31
  Speaker 9: We gotta like him up him.
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: Dear.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: He tried to rectify some of the damage there and
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: say lock him up politically, but please, he just claimed
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: right there, army, that Trump wants to shoot and kill people.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: It's just an extraordinary way for the Democrats to tackle
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: this campaign.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: They have not.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: Stopped that reckless retrick against Trump one. They continue to
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: call him a threat to democracy, likening him to the
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: likes to Hitler.
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: They're doing it all the live long day, Rita. No,
• 36:12
  Speaker 7: there was an assassination attent, and of course everyone said,
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: let's lower the temperature, let's reduce the rhetoric. But you
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: know what, the next day he was on television doing
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: all the threat to democracy garbage. The next day then
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: there's a second assassination attent.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: You think anything changed.
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: No, he's still a fascist, still a threat to our
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: way of life, right, still, comparing him to Hitler and
• 36:35
  Speaker 7: Mao and Mussolini, These are all the comparison they're making,
• 36:40
  Speaker 7: And of course this comports with him saying, let's lock
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: them up. Look the same democracy crowd, right, this is
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: the Democratic Party. These are people who've been trying to
• 36:50
  Speaker 7: subvert democracy in both deed and in word. Right, they
• 36:55
  Speaker 7: have let's not forget, not to just forget to lock
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: it up stuff. They've been using lawfare like we talked about,
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: to try to get him off his game on the campaign.
• 37:03
  Speaker 7: Do we forget? They try to get him off of
• 37:06
  Speaker 7: the ballots. They try to take Trump off of the
• 37:08
  Speaker 7: ballots in different states. This is democracy. This is the
• 37:12
  Speaker 7: same democracy crowd. Then, the rhetoric has included calling the
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: Supreme Court illegitimate. They have called for the taking down
• 37:22
  Speaker 7: the Electoral College. These are people are saying, hey, in
• 37:26
  Speaker 7: my city of New York, let's have nonsenizens vote. You
• 37:29
  Speaker 7: tell me who is pro democracy? Who is anti democracy?
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: This is crazy?
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: Am I taking crazy bells? What's going on? Now?
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: You're one hundred percent right?
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: And don't forget installing Kamala Harris in validating fourteen million votes.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: Biden actually went through a process.
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: He was supposed to be the nominee, and suddenly we've
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: got someone who nobody appeared to vote for, who is
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: now their candidate, and again they talk about norms and
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: threats to democracy in Horowitz, Thank you so much for
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: your time this evening.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: Oh is your pleasure still to come?
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: Energy expert Alex Epstein joins me to expose the boldest.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: Lies of net zero activists.
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: You're watching the Reader Paney Show and joining me now
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: is best selling author of Fossil Future. While global human
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: flourishing requires more oil, coal and natural gas, not less.
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: Energy expert Alex Epstein alex is she.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: Or isn't she?
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: This is the question we're facing. We know where Donald
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: Trump's energy policy lies.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: He's crystal clear about what he wants to do.
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: But with Kamala Harris's position, well, it remains murky. She's
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: long said that she wants to ban fracking. She promised
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: to do that when she was a Democratic presidential nominee
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: back in twenty nineteen. She said she banfracking on day one.
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: Now she says she doesn't want to do that. It
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: would certainly ender her chances in a state like Pennsylvania
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: if she had that policy these days, But really, where
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: does she sit on this crucial issue?
• 39:14
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 39:14
  Speaker 10: I think it's actually just really clear. I mean, her
• 39:17
  Speaker 10: position is net zero by twenty fifty, which basically means
• 39:21
  Speaker 10: banded fossil fuel used by twenty fifty, and she supports
• 39:25
  Speaker 10: steps to get there. And whether you ban fracking outright
• 39:30
  Speaker 10: or just destroy fracking through a series of irrational regulations
• 39:34
  Speaker 10: doesn't really matter.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: The goal is to destroy fossil fuel.
• 39:38
  Speaker 10: So one way to think of it is you can
• 39:40
  Speaker 10: destroy fracking without banning fracking, just as Obama pledged to
• 39:45
  Speaker 10: destroy the call industry and largely succeeded without banning call.
• 39:49
  Speaker 10: You just pass other regulations that make it impossible.
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: Now, the Biden Harris administration did straightaway block the Keystone pipeline.
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: What's been the packed off that decision.
• 40:03
  Speaker 10: This is one of the most damaging things because if
• 40:06
  Speaker 10: you think about the situation with Canada, Canada just has enormous,
• 40:09
  Speaker 10: enormous what's called proven oil reserves. They have way more
• 40:12
  Speaker 10: than we have in the United States. They have huge
• 40:14
  Speaker 10: amounts of untapped production that could be a great source
• 40:16
  Speaker 10: of oil for us in the US, very well suited
• 40:19
  Speaker 10: to our refineries, as well as oil that could supply
• 40:22
  Speaker 10: the free world, which we need now more than ever.
• 40:24
  Speaker 10: Because we have a lot of hostile people with a
• 40:26
  Speaker 10: lot of oil, and instead of taking a step toward
• 40:29
  Speaker 10: more energy trade with Canada, and we should be doing
• 40:32
  Speaker 10: a lot more, they just destroyed it.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: And they destroyed it on a whim.
• 40:35
  Speaker 10: They basically just got the State Department to destroy it
• 40:38
  Speaker 10: after over ten years of investment in planning. And so
• 40:41
  Speaker 10: this not only just totally sabotaged a lot of our
• 40:44
  Speaker 10: potential with Canada, it told everyone in industry you're you know,
• 40:48
  Speaker 10: you could be on the chopping block at any moment,
• 40:49
  Speaker 10: and so that does insignidvize investment. It creates fear, and
• 40:53
  Speaker 10: so we haven't even started to experience the full consequences
• 40:56
  Speaker 10: of stopping Keystone.
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: Now, Alex, let's have a look at this lotust a
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: peace published by Monash University right here in Melbourne, Australia.
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: They claim that Hurricane Milton and Hurricane Helene serve as
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: a stark example of how climate change is influencing storm dynamics.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: They also say it demonstrates.
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: How warmer ocean temperatures and shifting weather patterns can lead
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: to severe damage in both coastal and inland communities.
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: And they also wrote.
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: Recent extreme weather events, including devastating tropical cyclones, underscore the
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: critical need for global corporation and decisive action, and that
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: it highlights a disturbing trend. Storms are becoming more impactful
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: closer to the coast. Alex care to respond to what
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: you've just.
• 41:49
  Speaker 10: Heard, and this is really damaging because the overall message
• 41:55
  Speaker 10: here is let's get rid.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: Of fossil fuels.
• 41:57
  Speaker 10: Fossil fuels are making the climate more dangerous. We get
• 42:00
  Speaker 10: rid of fossil fuels, then we're going to be safer
• 42:02
  Speaker 10: from climate.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: But if you just think for a.
• 42:03
  Speaker 10: Second, have fossil fuels made us more endangered by climate
• 42:07
  Speaker 10: or safer from climate? You just think, what was a
• 42:10
  Speaker 10: hurricane like one hundred years ago, fifty years ago, even
• 42:12
  Speaker 10: twenty five years ago compared to today, And it's obvious
• 42:15
  Speaker 10: and the data bear this out that we're much much
• 42:18
  Speaker 10: safer from hurricanes and other forms of extreme weather. And
• 42:21
  Speaker 10: fossil fuels are huge reason why. They keep us incredibly
• 42:24
  Speaker 10: resilient through things like heating and air conditioning, storm warning systems,
• 42:27
  Speaker 10: evacuation systems, building sturdy buildings, et cetera, et cetera. So
• 42:32
  Speaker 10: we've become incredibly resilient to climate thanks to fossil fuels,
• 42:36
  Speaker 10: and whatever climate affects fossil fuels have had are very
• 42:40
  Speaker 10: hard to detect.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: Particularly with storms.
• 42:41
  Speaker 10: This is why there's no strong trend with hurricane frequency
• 42:45
  Speaker 10: or intensity. And so they're really just trying to make
• 42:47
  Speaker 10: stuff up, saying like, oh it was it develops faster
• 42:50
  Speaker 10: here and there. Just the big picture as fossil fuels
• 42:53
  Speaker 10: are making us safer than ever from extreme weather, and
• 42:55
  Speaker 10: so if you're manipulating science to tell us to get
• 42:58
  Speaker 10: rid of fossil fuels, you're going to make make us
• 43:00
  Speaker 10: far more in danger from extreme weather.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: And you're I mean, if you did it, literally, you.
• 43:04
  Speaker 10: Just destroyed the whole country because the grid can't work
• 43:06
  Speaker 10: without fossil fuels. I mean, imagine Australia without Call. That's
• 43:09
  Speaker 10: over half your grid. So you know, you get rid
• 43:11
  Speaker 10: of Call really quickly, a huge percentage of the population dies,
• 43:15
  Speaker 10: the grid doesn't function, you have civil war. Like these
• 43:18
  Speaker 10: guys are not at all thinking through what they're advocating,
• 43:22
  Speaker 10: or they are and they just really hate humans.
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: Well, I think that's at the heart of a lot
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: of the activism we see in this area. And one
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: of the claims we hear over and over again in
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: this country, and I'm sure elsewhere is that renewables are cheaper,
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: that they actually lower energy costs, But the reality seems
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: to be fairly different to that. Take me through this
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: graph you recently shed. It seems to show that places
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: with the highest percentage of renewable use seem to be
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: paying more for energy.
• 43:56
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean that's a good description of what that shows.
• 43:58
  Speaker 10: And we see this around the world, and Rita, let's
• 44:00
  Speaker 10: just I think it should be pretty obvious to somebody,
• 44:03
  Speaker 10: like imagine I said, hey, Rita, I've got something that's
• 44:06
  Speaker 10: better and cheaper than the iPhone. But I'm not just
• 44:09
  Speaker 10: gonna make it and compete with the iPhone. I need
• 44:12
  Speaker 10: you to ban the iPhone and then give me a
• 44:15
  Speaker 10: couple of trillion dollars in subsidies, and then I promise
• 44:18
  Speaker 10: it'll be cheaper than the iPhone. Well, if it were cheaper,
• 44:21
  Speaker 10: then you wouldn't need to ban the competition and you
• 44:23
  Speaker 10: wouldn't need subsidies. So obviously it's an inferior thing, and
• 44:27
  Speaker 10: they're just issuing press releases with lies. So if you're
• 44:31
  Speaker 10: actually better, then compete with fossil fuels on providing reliable
• 44:35
  Speaker 10: electricity and other forms of energy, and they're not willing
• 44:38
  Speaker 10: to do that because the technology and economics aren't there.
• 44:40
  Speaker 10: And really, what this whole renewable is cheaper thing for
• 44:43
  Speaker 10: it's just a cover for the to pretend that we're
• 44:47
  Speaker 10: not going to experience extreme suffering from banning fossil fuels.
• 44:50
  Speaker 10: And what we've seen in Europe is just even with
• 44:52
  Speaker 10: a little bit of restriction of fossil fuels, it creates
• 44:55
  Speaker 10: a total energy crisis. So they should learn their lesson
• 44:58
  Speaker 10: and if renewables so what are actually cheaper, can become cheaper,
• 45:02
  Speaker 10: then let them compete on a real market to provide
• 45:04
  Speaker 10: reliable energy. Otherwise it's obviously just a lie.
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: Now you've highlighted more catastrophizing by the climate activists. It's
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: something that we hear daily and it's not new. Let's
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: go back twenty years to this from the Guardian in
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: two thousand and four where they claim that climate change
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: over the next twenty years could result in a global catastrophe,
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: costing millions of lives in wars and natural disasters. Once again, Alex,
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: that claim has not aged too well.
• 45:38
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, if we actually had news it would
• 45:41
  Speaker 10: just constantly be telling us, guess what, life is better
• 45:44
  Speaker 10: than ever. We're safer than ever from climate. Thank you
• 45:47
  Speaker 10: fossil fuels. Let's give the fossil fuel industry a metal,
• 45:51
  Speaker 10: like that's all we would be talking about, because we're
• 45:53
  Speaker 10: obviously safer from hurricanes, we're much safer from drought, we're
• 45:57
  Speaker 10: saved from temperature extremes, like we should be celebrating. We've
• 46:01
  Speaker 10: become incredibly resilient to climate, and whatever climate changes occurred
• 46:05
  Speaker 10: hasn't mattered that much, and we shouldn't expect it.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: To matter that much.
• 46:08
  Speaker 10: Why would one or two degrees change on the Earth
• 46:11
  Speaker 10: overwhelm the most adaptable species in the history of the
• 46:15
  Speaker 10: planet that's increasingly getting better at being resilient from climate.
• 46:19
  Speaker 10: So people are just they're thinking about climate like it's
• 46:22
  Speaker 10: the year thirteen hundred and just a drought is going
• 46:25
  Speaker 10: to be a problem versus No, this is we're in
• 46:28
  Speaker 10: the twenty first century. We're really good at dealing with climate.
• 46:31
  Speaker 10: We're safer than ever from climate. We're in a climate renaissance.
• 46:34
  Speaker 10: Let's keep getting better at dealing with climate, and let's
• 46:36
  Speaker 10: keep being freer and energizing the whole world and deal
• 46:39
  Speaker 10: with real things like three people use three billion people
• 46:43
  Speaker 10: using less electricity than a typical US refrigerator.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: Like that's a real problem, not the weather.
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: Alex Epstein said beautifully, thank you so much for a
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: time this evening.
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: That's it from a opnek Is news not I'll see
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: you at eleven tomorrow.
• 47:05
  Speaker 6: Mm hmm
