0:05
Speaker 2: This is the Reader Panalty Show.
0:09
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panehy Show coming
0:12
Speaker 3: up tonight, a massive program.
0:14
Speaker 4: We have plenty to get through.
0:15
Speaker 3: Joining me tonight, Patrick Carline, Josh Hammond, Darren Grimes with
0:19
Speaker 3: the latest from the UK and Chris Elston will be
0:23
Speaker 3: here with a message for the Safety Commissioner who he
0:26
Speaker 3: is pledging to take all the way to the High
0:29
Speaker 3: Court if need be. And of course lefties losing it
0:32
Speaker 3: tonight starring the real and really woke Kamala.
0:38
Speaker 5: You know we have to stay woke, like everybody needs.
0:41
Speaker 6: To be woke, and you can talk about if you're
0:45
Speaker 6: the wokest or woker, just stay more woke than less woke.
0:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, Joining me now, senior journalist with news called Patrick Carlne. Patrick,
0:56
Speaker 3: Let's start with his Melbourne Sydney rivalry. It's taking a
0:59
Speaker 3: bit of a bizarre twist if you ask me. After
1:02
Speaker 3: New South Wales Premier Chris Means vowed to end working
1:06
Speaker 3: from home flexibility across the New South Wales government, well
1:09
Speaker 3: the Victorian Premier has taken a different approach. They are
1:13
Speaker 3: very happy for public servants to come in only three
1:16
Speaker 3: days a week, and a Victorian government spokesperson released this statement,
1:21
Speaker 3: Any public servants from New South Wales who like flexibility
1:25
Speaker 3: in their workplace should consider moving to Victoria. This is
1:30
Speaker 3: a rather bizarre statement Patrick, that Melbourne CBD is dying.
1:35
Speaker 3: Vacancy rates are the highest of any capital city. You
1:39
Speaker 3: would think the government would be doing all it can
1:41
Speaker 3: to bring its workers back, rather than boasting about allowing
1:46
Speaker 3: them to work from home.
1:48
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I mean Melbourne is a sad place. I mean
1:50
Speaker 2: you walk down Elizabeth Street or Swanson Street. There's no
1:53
Speaker 2: one there. There's lots of shut it up sort of
1:55
Speaker 2: boards for restaurants and cafes that no longer exist. The
2:00
Speaker 2: pandemic ended two and a half years ago. Why are
2:03
Speaker 2: people still working from home? They do less, they don't engage,
2:09
Speaker 2: they do other things besides work during the day. They
2:12
Speaker 2: wear boxer shorts for zoom meetings. They're not present, both
2:15
Speaker 2: literally and metaphorically, I mean and not really as business
2:19
Speaker 2: groups say, that has a real impact on business and
2:22
Speaker 2: getting things done.
2:23
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and particularly in Melbourne, where as you explained it,
2:29
Speaker 3: it is depressed. Sydney CBD seemed to bounce back very quickly.
2:34
Speaker 3: After COVID, Melbourne's a different story. It's fantastic if there's
2:37
Speaker 3: a major event, a footing match and there's crowds there,
2:40
Speaker 3: but day to day, so many businesses are struggling to
2:44
Speaker 3: hold on the ones that haven't closed already. And you
2:47
Speaker 3: would think a very easy fix would be to say, okay,
2:52
Speaker 3: public servants come back in, we're back to normal now.
2:57
Speaker 2: Well, the one good thing about the pandemic was driving
3:00
Speaker 2: to and from work. There's not the peak hour traffic
3:03
Speaker 2: that there always has been for decades. People aren't coming
3:07
Speaker 2: into the city and that obviously has a huge effect
3:10
Speaker 2: on the businesses that are trying to sell, trying to
3:14
Speaker 2: retailers and people you know, making lunches and all sorts
3:17
Speaker 2: of things. You don't have the credible massive people.
3:19
Speaker 3: Absolutely and no longer the world's most livable city. Melbourne
3:23
Speaker 3: does have a new crown, and unwanted one. Sadly has
3:27
Speaker 3: become Australia's youth homelessness capital, with more than fifteen thousand
3:32
Speaker 3: youngsters across the city reaching out for assistance for homelessness
3:36
Speaker 3: services in the twenty twenty three financial yeah. This is
3:39
Speaker 3: according to a new report form Homelessness Australia. The Chief
3:44
Speaker 3: Executive Cake Colvin is warning that the housing crisis is
3:48
Speaker 3: so deep in Melbourne that even low and middle income
3:51
Speaker 3: owners are finding it very difficult to find an affordable
3:55
Speaker 3: rental property.
3:56
Speaker 4: That is true.
3:57
Speaker 3: And the policies of state government that are driving investors
4:03
Speaker 3: out of the market and shrinking the number of rental properties.
4:07
Speaker 4: Sure, that's driving up rents.
4:09
Speaker 3: If you're going to pump up land tax and make
4:11
Speaker 3: it unattractive for mum and dad investors, they're going to
4:15
Speaker 3: put their money elsewhere.
4:17
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, I think the takeaway from that is the
4:18
Speaker 2: fact that you know, low and middle income earners are
4:22
Speaker 2: actually struggling to afford to pay rent or to find
4:25
Speaker 2: anywhere to rent. There's not enough housing. The homeless services
4:30
Speaker 2: are talking about the fact that they are overwhelmed. They
4:33
Speaker 2: can't actually help all the people, the huge numbers of
4:35
Speaker 2: people who need help, who are asking for help. It
4:39
Speaker 2: really doesn't It doesn't make nobourn look good at the moment,
4:42
Speaker 2: does it.
4:42
Speaker 3: Really.
4:42
Speaker 2: We've got all these things going on. Everything's going poorly,
4:45
Speaker 2: We've got the biggest debt, We've got potholes all over
4:49
Speaker 2: Victoria's because you can't afford to kill them and you've
4:53
Speaker 2: got issues like this and this is.
4:54
Speaker 3: Going bust or going into state. Yet you look at
4:59
Speaker 3: so many of the stats and the indicators of how
5:03
Speaker 3: we're doing, and Victoria Melbourne is struggling and as a
5:08
Speaker 3: once very proud Melbournie and it doesn't fill me with
5:11
Speaker 3: joy to say that.
5:13
Speaker 4: And I hold not just.
5:14
Speaker 3: The Labor government but the Liberal opposition responsible because if
5:18
Speaker 3: they were even remotely electable, Labor would be better and
5:24
Speaker 3: perhaps they would have been chucked out. But really the
5:27
Speaker 3: Victorian people have no choice.
5:28
Speaker 2: Yes, oh, you look at the big bill, you look
5:31
Speaker 2: at all the CFMU stuff that's come out in the
5:33
Speaker 2: last few weeks. You're talking about potentially hundreds of millions
5:36
Speaker 2: of dollars that should not have has gone to places
5:39
Speaker 2: that it wasn't intended.
5:40
Speaker 3: No projects, billions, billions over a budget years late. Now,
5:46
Speaker 3: let's talk about the un announcing that nine employees of UNRAH,
5:51
Speaker 3: the agency for Palestinian refugees, may have been involved in
5:56
Speaker 3: the October seven attacks. Opposition leader Piter Darton has called
6:00
Speaker 3: on the Albanese government to reconsider its funding of UNRAH.
6:04
Speaker 3: He said, we were given assurances up front that nobody
6:08
Speaker 3: was involved in the October seven atrocities, and this is
6:11
Speaker 3: a complete breach of faith. I think people are rightly
6:14
Speaker 3: angry because we're talking about tax paid dollars. Yere Patrick
6:18
Speaker 3: should funding be suspended at very least a review be
6:22
Speaker 3: completed into where the money is going and who exactly
6:27
Speaker 3: is involved in this organization because we've been talking about
6:30
Speaker 3: Honrah on this network for years and it's links with Hamas.
6:36
Speaker 2: Yes, well, I think Peter Dutton is right onto something here.
6:40
Speaker 2: I mean, this is our money. We need to know
6:41
Speaker 2: what it's going towards. You've got deep har maass sympathies
6:46
Speaker 2: within this un agency, and you're talking about people he
6:50
Speaker 2: accused not of waving a flag at a protest or
6:53
Speaker 2: saying the wrong thing they were partner. They've been accused
6:56
Speaker 2: of being part of a massacre of thirteen hundred innocent
6:58
Speaker 2: people on behalf of a terrorist organization that wants to
7:03
Speaker 2: obliterate a democracy in Israel. I mean, it's not surprising
7:08
Speaker 2: what's come out in the detail today, but it is shocking.
7:11
Speaker 2: It really is shocking. I can't imagine any other context
7:13
Speaker 2: where that could be tolerated, that sort of infiltration.
7:19
Speaker 3: And un Watch has done great work in uncovering some
7:22
Speaker 3: of these links, and we've really seen a different approach
7:26
Speaker 3: from Peter Dutton to this entire issue than from Anthony Alberanzi.
7:31
Speaker 3: It's one of the things that really separates them. Labor
7:34
Speaker 3: seem to be conflicted with the number of seats where
7:38
Speaker 3: they've got significant Muslim populations, and they've been really quite
7:44
Speaker 3: permissive of some of the anti Israel sentiment we've seen
7:48
Speaker 3: in the community. Whilst Peter Dutton has had moral clarity
7:53
Speaker 3: on this issue here has been very strong pretty much
7:56
Speaker 3: from day one.
7:57
Speaker 2: I think the word I read yesterday the word to
7:59
Speaker 2: describe Albanese's approach to it is timid, really and in
8:03
Speaker 2: a time where we actually needed strong leadership and when
8:06
Speaker 2: need somebody to stand up and say this is who
8:09
Speaker 2: we are, this is what we're believing, that didn't happen
8:12
Speaker 2: after October seven. Relatedly, you know he's made some moves
8:16
Speaker 2: on the anti Semitic thing, but you're talking about June
8:19
Speaker 2: the following year. You're talking about eight months after it
8:21
Speaker 2: all began. Whereas Dutton, as you point out, has been
8:24
Speaker 2: very clear and very unequivocal in saying this is right
8:28
Speaker 2: and this is wrong. And I think that resonates.
8:31
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and I think I think it takes courage too,
8:33
Speaker 3: because maybe be looking at those seats that labor hold
8:37
Speaker 3: and stute minds within the coalition. No, that's their future.
8:42
Speaker 3: They can't rely on these blue ribbon till seats. Now
8:46
Speaker 3: that's no longer their home ground. It is the out
8:49
Speaker 3: of suburbs. It is regional areas. So when you take
8:53
Speaker 3: that position, you do risk alienating segments of that population.
8:57
Speaker 3: But you do it because it's the right thing to do. Now,
9:00
Speaker 3: this next story is going to be very difficult for Patrick. Indeed,
9:03
Speaker 3: they may even be tears. Just brace yourself because after
9:06
Speaker 3: fifteen years with the Tigers Richmond champion, Dustin Martin is
9:10
Speaker 3: retiring from football. He addressed his teammates today and confirmed
9:14
Speaker 3: that after three hundred and two games, his retirement will
9:17
Speaker 3: take effect immediately, Patrick, immediately. You can't even say goodbye.
9:22
Speaker 3: Dusty has said that it's hard to put into words
9:25
Speaker 3: what the Richmond Football Club means to me. I love
9:28
Speaker 3: this place so much.
9:30
Speaker 4: How are you coping?
9:33
Speaker 3: Will we find you in the fetal position later?
9:35
Speaker 2: Tonight is a difficult day. I'll give you that. Against that,
9:41
Speaker 2: he's one of the great players of a generation. He
9:44
Speaker 2: is one of those players. There are very few who
9:46
Speaker 2: come along. I think of Wayne Carey or Gary Alblett Sr.
9:50
Speaker 2: Who actually individually and personally changed the game during that era.
9:56
Speaker 2: And you're talking about Dusty who won three Norm Smith Medals.
9:59
Speaker 2: No other player has done that. He was the face
10:02
Speaker 2: of the resurgence of a wonderful club in Richmond that
10:05
Speaker 2: was in the Doldrons for thirty seven years before that.
10:08
Speaker 3: That's right, you guys did not have a premiership for
10:10
Speaker 3: thirty seven years and here comes along Dusty and now
10:15
Speaker 3: we had three.
10:16
Speaker 2: In three and four years.
10:17
Speaker 4: We've read four years.
10:19
Speaker 3: And your supporters are now insufferable, so you know we
10:23
Speaker 3: Clingwood cart and supporters. Patrick Carlin, thank you so much
10:27
Speaker 3: for your time this evening.
10:29
Speaker 4: Thanks for joining me.
10:30
Speaker 3: Now is gb News host and founder of Reasoned UK,
10:34
Speaker 3: Darren Grimes. Darren, we've got a helmet clad reporter from
10:39
Speaker 3: Sky News UK not US reporting live from Middlesbrough where
10:44
Speaker 3: protests and riots have been taking place. And then you
10:47
Speaker 3: see a group of men carrying knives and will look
10:51
Speaker 3: like blunt objects walking right behind her in the background.
10:55
Speaker 4: Let's have a look.
10:56
Speaker 1: Plush between protesters the police, and that is what and
11:00
Speaker 1: they then run.
11:01
Speaker 4: Off across the park.
11:02
Speaker 1: Here a big group runoff looking for trouble.
11:06
Speaker 4: It looked like to us.
11:07
Speaker 1: So we're just going to step away now from this
11:10
Speaker 1: group behind us. But a lot of disorder here.
11:13
Speaker 3: And in other footage, even as the hosts speak about
11:16
Speaker 3: far right protests, we can clearly see a man holding
11:20
Speaker 3: what looks like a weapon.
11:22
Speaker 7: This spot has been able to access one of the
11:25
Speaker 7: far right telegram groups and he saw on that a
11:28
Speaker 7: suggestion that there might be a far right process in
11:31
Speaker 7: this part of Birmingham around this.
11:34
Speaker 3: Time, Darren, we have seen appalling behavior from both sides,
11:38
Speaker 3: but the media, the police, and certainly the government seem
11:42
Speaker 3: hyper focused on what they're calling.
11:45
Speaker 4: The far right.
11:47
Speaker 8: Absolutely, I mean, I've got to stress that caveat that
11:50
Speaker 8: you gave their resta quite rightly that I condemn violence
11:55
Speaker 8: on absolutely both sides. But the fact of the matter
11:59
Speaker 8: is here that the media narrative is trying to paint
12:02
Speaker 8: entirely one side has been exclusively the issue, when actually,
12:07
Speaker 8: as you've just rightly pointed out, as they're trying in
12:11
Speaker 8: real time to present that narrative, it falls apart live
12:15
Speaker 8: on air on national television with actually people been seen
12:20
Speaker 8: to be carrying these implements and whatever else tools It
12:24
Speaker 8: was in Middlesbrough, for example, and all the rest of it.
12:28
Speaker 8: Now a Home Office minister in these new relatively new
12:31
Speaker 8: labor government, it's only been in thirty days in the
12:34
Speaker 8: country has already turned into complete and utter chaos. I
12:38
Speaker 8: remember Secure Starmer bashed our former Prime Minister Liz Truss
12:42
Speaker 8: for only being in office for forty five days, while
12:44
Speaker 8: Rita he's managed to turn our country into a disunited
12:48
Speaker 8: kingdom within thirty days. So I think he's done a
12:51
Speaker 8: more expedited job than he accuses her of doing. But
12:55
Speaker 8: the fact of the matter Race, we had a Home
12:57
Speaker 8: Office Minister who said yesterday and by the way, she's
13:00
Speaker 8: in charge of keeping women and girls safe, that's her
13:03
Speaker 8: job within the Home Office ministry, and she was saying
13:07
Speaker 8: yesterday that the reason people turned out in Birmingham threatening pubs,
13:12
Speaker 8: threatening punters in pubs and all these other things. It
13:16
Speaker 8: turned into total chaos. The police uta nowhere to be seen,
13:20
Speaker 8: absolutely nowhere to be seen, because it was the wrong
13:23
Speaker 8: kind of protest. And the Home Office Minister dismissed this
13:27
Speaker 8: by saying that actually it was because the far right
13:30
Speaker 8: was supposed to be there as if these people have
13:34
Speaker 8: absolutely no agency of their own, you know, and the
13:37
Speaker 8: pied piper of this elusive far right was what dragged
13:42
Speaker 8: them out. They weren't there rita right. This is the problem.
13:46
Speaker 8: If we've got a Home Office minister who is parroting
13:48
Speaker 8: this propaganda as well as the mainstream media you can
13:51
Speaker 8: see in Australia as well, why we would be going
13:55
Speaker 8: out of our tree right here in this country.
14:00
Speaker 3: Kirstarmer is fronting the media over and over again to
14:04
Speaker 3: condemn some of those who are writing, but not all
14:08
Speaker 3: of them.
14:10
Speaker 9: Whatever the apparent motivation. This is not protest. It is
14:15
Speaker 9: pure violence and we will not tolerate attacks on mosques
14:20
Speaker 9: or our Muslim communities, so the full force of the
14:24
Speaker 9: law will be visited on all those who are identified
14:28
Speaker 9: as having taken part.
14:31
Speaker 3: Elon Muska tweeted a response to that. He said, shouldn't
14:35
Speaker 3: you be concerned about attacks on all communities? And Darren,
14:40
Speaker 3: it's a good point. I've seen horrendous footage of gang
14:44
Speaker 3: attacks on individuals, most are too violent to show here,
14:49
Speaker 3: but there's been little coverage in the mainstream media. In fact,
14:55
Speaker 3: if it's not for x I don't think we would
14:58
Speaker 3: see the scale of this violence.
15:01
Speaker 8: Well exactly, Rita, why do you think they want to
15:03
Speaker 8: shut X down for disinformation? That's going to be the
15:06
Speaker 8: new mantra, Secure Starmer, mark my words, We'll team up
15:09
Speaker 8: with Brussels, with the European Union to actually camp down
15:13
Speaker 8: on X four quote unquote disinformation. Deeply worrying because you
15:18
Speaker 8: are absolutely spot on that without X we wouldn't see
15:22
Speaker 8: this footage. It would be censored, it would be removed.
15:26
Speaker 8: So the fact of the matter here is that Secure Starmer,
15:29
Speaker 8: I think after what we saw I mentioned Birmingham just
15:32
Speaker 8: last night in Birmingham cars been attacked that by a
15:37
Speaker 8: massive mob, and there were pubs as I mentioned, being
15:42
Speaker 8: attacked too. Secure Starmer needs to come out today and say, actually, look,
15:48
Speaker 8: I think that the police ought to not be two
15:51
Speaker 8: tier because we now call it two tier policing and
15:54
Speaker 8: actually two tierkir because that's who he is. He believes
15:58
Speaker 8: in one side being robust, sleep, you know, arrested and
16:02
Speaker 8: all the rest of it, but the other side no
16:04
Speaker 8: police intervention whatsoever. So there starts to become actually it
16:10
Speaker 8: looks like the conspiracy of the media and the police
16:13
Speaker 8: and the political class, you start to see that. Actually,
16:17
Speaker 8: you don't have to have a tinfoil hat on to
16:19
Speaker 8: see a conspiracy of silence occurring here. So I think
16:23
Speaker 8: if he was any kind of statesman, he would come
16:25
Speaker 8: out and condemn violence on all sides. But Rita, he
16:28
Speaker 8: has refused to do that. He says there is no
16:31
Speaker 8: two tier policing going on in Britain. I don't know
16:33
Speaker 8: what he's looking at, but I'd love to show him
16:35
Speaker 8: all of the footage that I've been putting out over
16:38
Speaker 8: recent days that paints a very different picture. Not your Middlesburn,
16:42
Speaker 8: not too far away from me. Your people were being
16:45
Speaker 8: hit with tools and implements and the riot police were
16:48
Speaker 8: just stood by. We have really scary times in Britain,
16:52
Speaker 8: and Elon Musk would know a thing or two about
16:54
Speaker 8: not focusing on all communities and instead focusing on one community, because,
16:59
Speaker 8: for example, why communities in South Africa where he hails from,
17:04
Speaker 8: have actually been told by elected members of parliament that actually,
17:09
Speaker 8: you know, kill whites was one mantra that actually was
17:13
Speaker 8: propagated there. So I don't want my country to end
17:17
Speaker 8: up in that kind of ethnic gang warfare.
17:19
Speaker 3: You know, yes, yes, absolutely, now I want to ask
17:23
Speaker 3: you about that two tier policing because the chief of
17:27
Speaker 3: London's Metropolitan Police, Sir Mark Rowley, was asked that question
17:31
Speaker 3: but he didn't answer it. Instead, he snatched at a
17:35
Speaker 3: Sky News journalist microphone and then dropped it. This is
17:39
Speaker 3: after he came out of an emergency meeting with the
17:41
Speaker 3: Prime Minister over these ongoing riots. Let's have a look
17:45
Speaker 3: at that footage.
17:50
Speaker 9: Are we going to end two police Hilf.
17:57
Speaker 3: Darren, There is considerable pressure the police. These accusations of
18:02
Speaker 3: two tier policing are not new, but they have certainly
18:06
Speaker 3: intensified in the past week and there's plenty of evidence
18:10
Speaker 3: for it.
18:10
Speaker 4: You talked about it before.
18:12
Speaker 3: Is the faith in the police force being diminished throughout
18:18
Speaker 3: these riots?
18:20
Speaker 8: It absolutely is. You know, when the police were established,
18:23
Speaker 8: Robert Peel said, you know, without fear, without favor, actually
18:26
Speaker 8: the police would be there for all. You know, there
18:29
Speaker 8: would be no politics injected into the police force. I'm
18:32
Speaker 8: afraid they have been infected with that diversity, equity and inclusion,
18:36
Speaker 8: that wackery and walkery of the law and order, and
18:40
Speaker 8: that's a real problem for faith and trust within the
18:43
Speaker 8: police force. It's not just the Metropolitan Police, which governs
18:46
Speaker 8: the whole of London, but actually it's it's most of England,
18:49
Speaker 8: much of England. And the issue here is that we
18:54
Speaker 8: see we start to see the seeds I think of
18:58
Speaker 8: severe distrust in the media, in the police, in politicians.
19:02
Speaker 8: And what does that do for a democracy such as ours,
19:05
Speaker 8: you know, an old democracy that's been a beacon of
19:08
Speaker 8: hope and optimism and a message to the world of
19:12
Speaker 8: what a democracy could look like. And I see that
19:16
Speaker 8: tearing apart at the seams right now. The social fabric
19:20
Speaker 8: of the country is being picked apart. And until we
19:23
Speaker 8: get a grip of this, until we actually say that
19:26
Speaker 8: the police need to police all of these protests, because Rita,
19:29
Speaker 8: I've covered with you before. Do you remember the Black
19:32
Speaker 8: Lives Matter protests that took place in London in twenty twenty.
19:36
Speaker 8: The police took the knee to those protesters. During the
19:39
Speaker 8: weekly hate marches on the streets of London, in which
19:42
Speaker 8: you had people calling for jihad and into farda and
19:45
Speaker 8: calling for the genocide of the Jews, you saw the
19:48
Speaker 8: police with a very hands off approach. They did not
19:51
Speaker 8: go near those protesters whatsoever as they stood over war
19:55
Speaker 8: memorials erected.
19:57
Speaker 3: The Jews for wearing Star David that were they threatened
20:01
Speaker 3: to arrest Jews for possibly inciting the crowd just by
20:06
Speaker 3: being Jewish and being in the in the city. So yeah,
20:09
Speaker 3: that their conduct has been I think deplorable and I
20:12
Speaker 3: think that this trust is there for a reason. Now, Darren,
20:15
Speaker 3: before you go, I just want to show you a
20:17
Speaker 3: headline that has not aged too well. It was only
20:20
Speaker 3: a month ago after Labour's a landslide victory that the
20:23
Speaker 3: Financial Times ran this headline Britain is now a beacon
20:28
Speaker 3: of stability and it gets worse. The Peace claim that
20:31
Speaker 3: Britain's economic peers like US, France Germany are awash with
20:35
Speaker 3: political turmoil right now, whilst the Labor Party strong majority
20:40
Speaker 3: at least signals high predictability.
20:43
Speaker 4: Well that has not.
20:44
Speaker 3: Been the case, Darren. We've had the shortest of honeymoons
20:48
Speaker 3: for Kirs Starmer and really the underlying issues here are
20:53
Speaker 3: deep and putting a band aid on the current unrest
20:57
Speaker 3: isn't going to stop the next lot of turmoil that's
21:00
Speaker 3: going to pop up because these issues need addressing at
21:05
Speaker 3: the core level. We always love speaking to you, Darren Grimes.
21:08
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for your time this evening.
21:11
Speaker 8: Thanks cha still to come, The Left is.
21:14
Speaker 3: Losing it and Josh Hammer unpacked Kamala nomics and whether
21:19
Speaker 3: it's destined to crash Welcome back. Now it's time for
21:32
Speaker 3: Left is losing it and let's have a look at
21:34
Speaker 3: the real Kamala. We know she's woke, but just how
21:38
Speaker 3: woke is she?
21:39
Speaker 5: You know, we have to stay woke, like everybody needs.
21:43
Speaker 4: To be woke.
21:46
Speaker 8: And you can talk about.
21:47
Speaker 6: If you're the wokest or woker, just stay more woke
21:51
Speaker 6: than less woke.
21:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, wow, that is pretty woke. In an interview with
21:56
Speaker 3: a Glamor magazine, she explained what caused her to be
22:00
Speaker 3: so woke.
22:01
Speaker 6: There are some real silver linings about what this moment
22:05
Speaker 6: in time has done to maybe cause a lot of us.
22:11
Speaker 4: To be woke.
22:14
Speaker 7: And I love it.
22:15
Speaker 4: I love it.
22:16
Speaker 5: But folks are woke and I love it.
22:18
Speaker 6: I love it.
22:20
Speaker 3: She loves it. You know what I love is what
22:22
Speaker 3: a chameleon kamalaie is. I mean, she was raised in
22:25
Speaker 3: California and Canada, but she can go all southern and urban.
22:30
Speaker 3: When in front of a mainly black crowd, I.
22:33
Speaker 8: Said to the congressman, I didn't know what he.
22:35
Speaker 10: Could preach like that.
22:39
Speaker 5: All right, yeah girl, I'm out here in these streets
22:41
Speaker 5: and let me touch as they say they're not like us.
22:50
Speaker 5: Can I get a witness?
22:52
Speaker 3: Oh that was good, so good that it inspired this spoof. Yes,
22:57
Speaker 3: Carmalarie is tropic thunder, so I know how to.
23:00
Speaker 4: Make a mean part of greens.
23:01
Speaker 5: In fact, people used to ask me to make rings
23:04
Speaker 5: for the Christmas.
23:05
Speaker 1: One year.
23:06
Speaker 11: I had so many that I had to watch them.
23:08
Speaker 4: We ended up watching them in the bathtub. So I
23:11
Speaker 4: am not playing around.
23:13
Speaker 10: Back before the wall broke out, I was associated Saint Anton.
23:17
Speaker 11: I bet I could call up some of them greens.
23:20
Speaker 7: Yeah, do to some crawl fish out the patio.
23:24
Speaker 2: I've made us some.
23:25
Speaker 9: Crab apples for desert now yeah, hey, yeah.
23:30
Speaker 4: Oh look.
23:30
Speaker 3: Kamala is very good, but she has some ways to
23:34
Speaker 3: go to reach Hillary levels of inauthentic.
23:37
Speaker 4: I don't feel no ways tired.
23:41
Speaker 5: I come too far from where I started from.
23:46
Speaker 11: Nobody told me that the road would be easy.
23:51
Speaker 12: I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me.
23:55
Speaker 3: When it comes to Kamala, we have to overlook the
23:58
Speaker 3: style and look for that substance. She's an intellectual. We've
24:03
Speaker 3: seen her explain community banks, school buses, diplomacy, space travel,
24:09
Speaker 3: and here she explains cloud story.
24:13
Speaker 10: So you're now no longer are you necessarily keeping those
24:16
Speaker 10: private files in some file cabinet that's locked in the
24:20
Speaker 10: basement of the house.
24:22
Speaker 5: It's on your.
24:23
Speaker 10: Laptop, and it's then therefore up here in this cloud
24:28
Speaker 10: that exist above us. Right, it's no longer in a
24:32
Speaker 10: physical place.
24:33
Speaker 3: And there'll be more lefties losing it with my next guess. Now,
24:37
Speaker 3: we know the two biggest issues in America are inflation
24:40
Speaker 3: and the border crisis. Yes, cost of living pressures and
24:44
Speaker 3: record numbers of the legal immigrants coming in by that
24:47
Speaker 3: southern border are top of mind for voters in the
24:50
Speaker 3: coming presidential election. So let's hear now from the Democrat
24:54
Speaker 3: nominee on how she will handle.
24:56
Speaker 4: Those critical issues.
24:58
Speaker 3: Here she's asked about inflation.
25:02
Speaker 12: What else are you going to do to fix this
25:04
Speaker 12: problem with inflation?
25:06
Speaker 5: I thank you.
25:07
Speaker 6: Well, let's start with this.
25:12
Speaker 5: Prices have gone up, and families and individuals are dealing with.
25:20
Speaker 4: The realities of.
25:23
Speaker 5: That bread costs more, that gas costs more, and we
25:27
Speaker 5: have to understand what that means. That's about the cost
25:31
Speaker 5: of living going up. That's about having to stress and
25:36
Speaker 5: stretch limited resources. That's about a source of stress for
25:40
Speaker 5: families that is not only economic, but is on a
25:44
Speaker 5: daily level, something that is a heavy weight to carry.
25:47
Speaker 5: So it is something that we take very seriously, very seriously.
25:51
Speaker 3: That's the woman they're presenting as an inspired, strong leader
25:55
Speaker 3: who can lead us all in the free world. And
25:58
Speaker 3: it gets considerably worse and it comes to a legal immigration.
26:01
Speaker 3: She's on the record supporting free healthcare for illegal immigrants,
26:05
Speaker 3: not even wanting the term.
26:06
Speaker 4: Illegal to be used.
26:08
Speaker 3: And she's even passionately defended those who pay human traffickers
26:12
Speaker 3: to bring them across the border. Like most neo Marxist,
26:16
Speaker 3: she's at her care open borders. She even sought to
26:20
Speaker 3: compare ICE that's immigration and custom enforcement to the ku
26:24
Speaker 3: Klux Klan.
26:26
Speaker 4: I wish I was kidding.
26:28
Speaker 13: Well, the clan was what we would call today a
26:31
Speaker 13: domestic terrorist group.
26:33
Speaker 14: Why why would we call them domestic terrorist group?
26:37
Speaker 13: Because they tried to use fear and forced to change
26:40
Speaker 13: political environment.
26:42
Speaker 14: And what was the motivation for the use of fear.
26:44
Speaker 13: Enforces based on race and ethnicity?
26:46
Speaker 5: Right?
26:48
Speaker 14: Are you aware of the perception of many about how
26:53
Speaker 14: the power and the discretion at ICE is being used
26:57
Speaker 14: to enforce the laws. Do you see any parallels.
27:01
Speaker 13: I do not see any parallels between.
27:03
Speaker 4: I'm talking about and agents.
27:05
Speaker 14: I'm talking about perception.
27:07
Speaker 13: I do not see a parallel between what is constitutionally
27:10
Speaker 13: mandated as it relates to enforcing the law.
27:12
Speaker 14: Are you aware that there's a perception see are you
27:15
Speaker 14: aware that there's a perception ICE.
27:17
Speaker 13: In the same category as the KKK. Is that where
27:20
Speaker 13: you're asking me?
27:22
Speaker 4: Oh, she wasn't done yet.
27:24
Speaker 3: That footage is from twenty eighteen, but Kamala was cain
27:28
Speaker 3: to drive the point home that ICE is a kin
27:31
Speaker 3: to the KKK. Why because they enforce the law?
27:35
Speaker 6: You know?
27:36
Speaker 14: Are you aware of a perception that the way that
27:40
Speaker 14: the discretion I'm not finished.
27:43
Speaker 4: I see none.
27:43
Speaker 14: I'm not finished. I'm not finished. Are you aware that
27:46
Speaker 14: there's a perception that that ICE is administering its power
27:52
Speaker 14: in a way that is causing fear and intimidation, particularly
27:59
Speaker 14: among immigrants and specifically among immigrants coming from Mexico and
28:04
Speaker 14: Central America.
28:06
Speaker 3: Joining me now is the Senior editor at Large of
28:09
Speaker 3: Newswake and Article three Projects, Senior Council Josh Hammer. Josh
28:15
Speaker 3: is America ready for a president who compares ICE agents
28:19
Speaker 3: to members of the KKK.
28:23
Speaker 11: Rita America is becoming a more left leaning place on
28:26
Speaker 11: a seemingly daily basis. But you know, I have to
28:30
Speaker 11: think that the answer is no. You know, Kamala Harris
28:33
Speaker 11: has been on the wrong side of every civilizational jihad
28:37
Speaker 11: against the West and against the United States over the
28:39
Speaker 11: entire course of her not particularly illustrious career. So we
28:43
Speaker 11: have seen here the comparison between ICE and the KKK. Well,
28:47
Speaker 11: you know, let me explain to a first grade area,
28:49
Speaker 11: probably better than what Kamala Harris can do when she's
28:52
Speaker 11: talking about how inflation means prices going up. Let me
28:54
Speaker 11: try to explain to a first grader the difference between
28:56
Speaker 11: ICE and the KKK. Ice is a law in enforcement
29:00
Speaker 11: agency of the United States government. The ku klux Klan
29:03
Speaker 11: was the very quintessence of vigilante justice. By the way,
29:07
Speaker 11: vigilante justice actually oriented towards injustice, not actual justice. I
29:11
Speaker 11: don't have to get into how morally ignominious it was,
29:14
Speaker 11: but the mere fact that one is a governmentally sanctioned
29:17
Speaker 11: body and the other is vigilantism that even and of
29:20
Speaker 11: itself ought to demonstrate that there is simply no comparison here.
29:23
Speaker 11: But around the same time that Kamala Harris was interrogating
29:25
Speaker 11: their comparing patriotic Ice agents to the ku Klux Klan.
29:29
Speaker 11: That was within a few months of her very leading
29:32
Speaker 11: role in the September twenty eighteen jihad against then Supreme
29:36
Speaker 11: Court nominee Breck Havana. Kamala Harris, along with Corey Booker,
29:40
Speaker 11: that faithful day in late September twenty eighteen, she was
29:43
Speaker 11: one of the leading inquisitors who hashtag believe all women.
29:47
Speaker 11: She took Christine Blasi's forward word for it that Bret
29:50
Speaker 11: Kalvina was a serial gang grave best the left on
29:53
Speaker 11: that day in September twenty eighteen, Rida. Throughout five thousand
29:56
Speaker 11: years of civilizational innocdental proving guilt norms, Kama Harris was
30:01
Speaker 11: one of the absolute ring leaders of that. She should
30:04
Speaker 11: be made to answer for that. Frankly, right now in
30:06
Speaker 11: this calendar year on the presidential campaign, trill, Well, she.
30:11
Speaker 3: Doesn't seem to be paying for anything. There seems to
30:14
Speaker 3: be no accountability, a little scrutiny.
30:17
Speaker 4: Of her record.
30:19
Speaker 3: It's like she's just been introduced to the American people
30:22
Speaker 3: for the first time, and she's this amazing, visionary, fresh
30:26
Speaker 3: young leader who's going to lead the free world into
30:30
Speaker 3: prosperity in peace, when, as you said, you look at
30:33
Speaker 3: her record, she has been on the wrong side of
30:36
Speaker 3: just about every significant fight in America. We saw her
30:41
Speaker 3: campaigning for the BLM writers even raising bail money. She
30:47
Speaker 3: said that they should keep her protesting, and some of
30:50
Speaker 3: those protests.
30:51
Speaker 4: Involved very much violent action.
30:54
Speaker 3: Are we going to see that sort of scrutiny in
30:57
Speaker 3: accountability or is she just going to have a honey
31:00
Speaker 3: and Ron all the white to the November poll.
31:03
Speaker 11: Look, the media is trying their darnedness. You know, it's
31:06
Speaker 11: so funny, Rita. So the June twenty seventh CNN presidential
31:09
Speaker 11: debate happens, and for about three to four weeks, the
31:13
Speaker 11: American corporate media decides to be real journalists. It lasts
31:16
Speaker 11: about three to four weeks. They actually held the regime's
31:19
Speaker 11: feet to the fire. They held them accountable for this lie, which,
31:22
Speaker 11: by the way, the media was complicited in the first place.
31:24
Speaker 11: It's not like it was just the administration. The media
31:27
Speaker 11: was complicit in it. So they pretended to be real
31:29
Speaker 11: journalists to accomplish their end, and their end, obviously was
31:32
Speaker 11: the coup deta of Joe Biden for Kamala Harris. Ever
31:35
Speaker 11: since the coup finished, they have pulled a complete one eighty.
31:38
Speaker 11: They were holding Biden's feet to the fire. You can't
31:41
Speaker 11: hear a peek from them now, you know. It's it's
31:44
Speaker 11: as if just a pin drop then you can and
31:46
Speaker 11: you can't even hear it. At this point, no one
31:48
Speaker 11: is making any noise. Kamala Harris is now over two
31:51
Speaker 11: weeks into her coup of Joe Biden. She has not
31:54
Speaker 11: faced a single straightforward question that I am aware of
31:58
Speaker 11: from an actual media source. Even more to the point,
32:01
Speaker 11: you know, I checked her campaign website yesterday, the Kamala
32:04
Speaker 11: Harris for President's website. I don't see a list of
32:07
Speaker 11: actual policy positions on there. I don't see a list
32:10
Speaker 11: of where she stands on immigration, foreign policy, the economy, taxation, inflation, guns, abortion,
32:15
Speaker 11: you name it. It's not there. It's literally not there.
32:18
Speaker 11: So the woman is a totally empty vessel at this point.
32:21
Speaker 11: And I guess, I guess that that is what she
32:23
Speaker 11: is hoping to accomplish, But I don't think it's gonna work,
32:26
Speaker 11: especially in the aftermath of the stock market crash, the
32:28
Speaker 11: Kamala Harris crash, if you will there, I don't think
32:30
Speaker 11: it's gonna work. She's not gonna be able to coast
32:32
Speaker 11: her way till November, but the media is certainly trying
32:34
Speaker 11: their darnedest to let her do it.
32:37
Speaker 3: Now. You mentioned the stock market crash, Wall straight was
32:41
Speaker 3: diving fizz. The US is on the verge of a recession.
32:45
Speaker 3: The stock market was began in Japan with the Nikkai
32:50
Speaker 3: in dex diving, but the US, in particular Josh is
32:54
Speaker 3: in a perilous situation economically. Got weak economic data, including
32:59
Speaker 3: those jobs figures, which they tried to blame on Trump.
33:02
Speaker 3: I thought that was very interesting from the Harris campaign
33:05
Speaker 3: blaming the poor job figures on Trump. Somehow, it seems
33:10
Speaker 3: like biden Omics, if that's what we're still calling it,
33:13
Speaker 3: isn't working too well.
33:16
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, it's funny. So the Joe Biden campaign
33:20
Speaker 11: pumped a lot of money this past September. It's almost
33:23
Speaker 11: a year ago now. They pumped a lot of money
33:25
Speaker 11: into NFL National Football League opening kickoff weekend and specifically
33:30
Speaker 11: the NFL season, which is very popular here in America.
33:32
Speaker 11: It opens on a Thursday night. They've been doing this
33:34
Speaker 11: for about twenty years. The Biden campaign dumped a ton
33:37
Speaker 11: of money on a coast to coast national ad bite
33:39
Speaker 11: for that Thursday night football game almost a year ago,
33:42
Speaker 11: specifically on the issue of Bidenomics, and ever since then
33:46
Speaker 11: they have just totally ditched it. It lasted for about
33:49
Speaker 11: a month and a half. Two months after that, they
33:51
Speaker 11: haven't mentioned the word Bidenomics. It probably been six seven,
33:55
Speaker 11: eight months. And how could you possibly mention it that,
33:57
Speaker 11: I mean, what record is there other than totally and
34:00
Speaker 11: complete incompetence to possibly reference. I mean, we're talking about
34:04
Speaker 11: an economy that entered a formal recession in the year
34:06
Speaker 11: twenty twenty two, recession which, by the way, they tried
34:09
Speaker 11: to gaslight us and tried to come up with a
34:11
Speaker 11: different definition of the word recession other than the one
34:13
Speaker 11: that has been universally recognized by economists of all political
34:16
Speaker 11: stress for decades, which is back to back quarters of
34:19
Speaker 11: negative GDP growth. Remember the White House Press Secretary got
34:21
Speaker 11: up there and said, no, it's actually not recession. We're
34:24
Speaker 11: redefining it for you. So they tried to do that.
34:26
Speaker 11: They reached nine point one inflation on the annualized CPI
34:29
Speaker 11: consumer Price index level in the height the summer of
34:32
Speaker 11: twenty twenty two. That's the highest inflation has been in
34:35
Speaker 11: literally forty years now. So they have no idea what
34:38
Speaker 11: they're doing on the economy. They cannot possibly run on
34:40
Speaker 11: the economy. Unfortunately for them, the economy, the cost of living,
34:43
Speaker 11: stagnant wages, and skyrocketing inflation, remains the number one issue,
34:47
Speaker 11: along with the southern border, on which the record is
34:49
Speaker 11: arguably even worse. So when you actually look at the issues,
34:52
Speaker 11: they are frankly in terrible position. Again, the question, to
34:55
Speaker 11: get back to what you said earlier, is will the
34:57
Speaker 11: media allow the conversation on the substantive issues to actually
35:01
Speaker 11: penetrate and then to resonate with the American voters If
35:04
Speaker 11: the conversation is on the issues, Republicans will win.
35:10
Speaker 3: If it's on the issues, But I doubt it's going
35:13
Speaker 3: to get there. The media seems to be obsessed with
35:16
Speaker 3: what they've always obsessed about, racial issues, identity politics, and
35:22
Speaker 3: these sort of gotcha moments. Now I want to ask
35:25
Speaker 3: you about something that's a little bit contentious. It's been
35:29
Speaker 3: talked about not much in the media.
35:31
Speaker 4: It's almost taboo there.
35:33
Speaker 3: But Josh isn't fair enough to go through Kamala Harris's
35:38
Speaker 3: pass as they've gone through Trump's past. We've got her
35:43
Speaker 3: former lover on the record taking credit for giving her
35:46
Speaker 3: a start in the Democrat Party. She was only twenty
35:50
Speaker 3: nine years old when she dated sixty year old Democratic
35:55
Speaker 3: Party king maker Willie brown Is back in nineteen ninety four,
35:59
Speaker 3: he reportedly lavished her with all sorts of gifts, be
36:02
Speaker 3: a w trip to Paris, tickets to the Academy Academy awards,
36:06
Speaker 3: and he's written in twenty nineteen where he said, yes,
36:13
Speaker 3: I may have influenced her career by appointing her to
36:16
Speaker 3: two state commissions when I was an Assembly speaker, and
36:19
Speaker 3: I certainly helped with her first race for district attorney
36:23
Speaker 3: in San fran Cisco. Is this an area that is
36:29
Speaker 3: worthy of discussion or does it really not matter how
36:32
Speaker 3: she got her start? I tend to think that her record,
36:38
Speaker 3: particularly in the Senate, is so damning that you don't
36:41
Speaker 3: need to look beyond that. But it's interesting that, given
36:44
Speaker 3: her colorful past, that really hasn't been much, I don't know,
36:50
Speaker 3: discussion or investigation into how she got her start well, I.
36:56
Speaker 11: Think it's fair game. I mean, I mean, it's not
36:58
Speaker 11: like it's off the teeble. I mean, look, you know,
37:01
Speaker 11: Donald Trump, among his various legal persecutions slash prosecutions, is
37:06
Speaker 11: this so called hush money case in New York City
37:08
Speaker 11: where we had a literal porn star, or at least
37:11
Speaker 11: an alleged porn store. I've never watched her material, but
37:13
Speaker 11: an alleged porn star Stormy Daniels on the stand testifying
37:17
Speaker 11: about ingratuitous detail about an alleged one night stand from
37:20
Speaker 11: twenty years ago. I mean about who had what clothes
37:23
Speaker 11: on at what time. So you know, it's not like
37:24
Speaker 11: we're in this very brutish society where details of this
37:27
Speaker 11: nature are off the table. Details of this nature have
37:30
Speaker 11: very much been on the table, at least since the
37:32
Speaker 11: infamous Bill Clinton Monica Lewinsky scandal of the late nineteen
37:35
Speaker 11: nineties here in the United States. So you know, it's
37:37
Speaker 11: not this it's fair game. If I were offering political
37:40
Speaker 11: advice to the Trump campaign, I tend to agree with you,
37:42
Speaker 11: which is that there is a lot easier fodder, there's
37:45
Speaker 11: a lot lower hanging through. This is probably not the
37:47
Speaker 11: absolute best way to go about attacking Kamala Harris. Again,
37:50
Speaker 11: She's been wrong on every major issue under the sun.
37:53
Speaker 11: But you know, the whole Willie Brown thing. This this
37:55
Speaker 11: is all I will say. It does get at at
37:58
Speaker 11: a broader truth about Kamala Harris, which is that she
38:00
Speaker 11: has continually failed upward in her career. To kind of
38:03
Speaker 11: use a term that I like, She's not a very
38:06
Speaker 11: talented politician at that inflation clip earlier showed she's frankly
38:09
Speaker 11: not a particularly bright politician. She continually is mediocre at
38:13
Speaker 11: best and actively harmful at worst in one position, whether
38:16
Speaker 11: it's San Francisco da US senator or vice president. She's
38:19
Speaker 11: terrible basically every job she's ever held, and yet somehow
38:22
Speaker 11: she is promoted just a little higher. I think that
38:25
Speaker 11: is fair game potentially, But again, as you said, the
38:27
Speaker 11: actual record is probably the easier thing to.
38:29
Speaker 3: Do, Josh, before you go disturbing developments in the Middle Ast,
38:34
Speaker 3: A full scale war between Israel and his Bulla seems
38:37
Speaker 3: closer than any point since the October seven attacks by
38:41
Speaker 3: her mask. We know his Bullar is as bigger, it's
38:43
Speaker 3: more powerful than her mask. They've got significant backing from
38:47
Speaker 3: Iran and Iran's Retrick has been dialed up since a
38:51
Speaker 3: her mass leader was assassinated in Tehran. The Revolutionary Guards
38:56
Speaker 3: have vowed severe revenge.
38:59
Speaker 4: What does this main for the people of Israel.
39:02
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's a terrible situation. You know, as I'm speaking
39:05
Speaker 11: to you, my in laws are actually on a flight
39:06
Speaker 11: back to the United States from Israel. I mean, my
39:09
Speaker 11: brother in law lives a few miles from Gods. I
39:11
Speaker 11: have a lot of family on my wife's side over there,
39:14
Speaker 11: so everyone is nervous. I mean, no one is particularly
39:18
Speaker 11: happy about the current situation there.
39:20
Speaker 8: You know.
39:20
Speaker 11: Unfortunately, the Biden administration could have done so much to
39:24
Speaker 11: prevent this from getting to this point. Obviously, you know,
39:27
Speaker 11: after Israel allegedly because we don't know for sure, but
39:30
Speaker 11: we all presume that they took out the Hamas leader
39:32
Speaker 11: Hania in Tehran, as well as Shakor, the Hasbalah leader
39:36
Speaker 11: in Beiruts. You know, the bay administration could have very
39:38
Speaker 11: easily said he supports Israel's ability to take out the
39:42
Speaker 11: people who are committing who committed the genocide in October
39:45
Speaker 11: seventh and are shelling civilians northern Israel. Iran, don't you
39:48
Speaker 11: dare touch a finger on our ally or, by the way,
39:51
Speaker 11: on US troops in the region, because another headline familiar
39:54
Speaker 11: today showed that Iran backed Iraqi militias fired yet again
39:57
Speaker 11: on US bases in Iraq and wounded personnel. So you know,
40:00
Speaker 11: when they're coming at Israel, they're also coming at US,
40:02
Speaker 11: never far behind there. The Bidy administration could have done
40:05
Speaker 11: so much to prevent this from getting to this point. Unfortunately,
40:07
Speaker 11: they're doing the exact opposite of what a prudent foreign
40:10
Speaker 11: policy should do. It's common sense that a foreign policy
40:12
Speaker 11: should stand by your friends, warn your enemies. The bid
40:15
Speaker 11: administration does the exact opposite. They tell Iran the pinprick
40:19
Speaker 11: strike is fine, they tell Bibi Ntignah, who don't you
40:21
Speaker 11: dare escalate there? So yet again another catastrophe on the
40:24
Speaker 11: world stage, perpetrated by the utter incompetence and dare I
40:27
Speaker 11: say even outright malice of the Biden Harris administration at
40:30
Speaker 11: this point. But at this point, I'm frankly just praying
40:33
Speaker 11: for some sort of restoration of calm, albeit I fear
40:36
Speaker 11: that might not happen until January twenty twenty five.
40:38
Speaker 3: God willing, Josh Hamma, thank you so much for your
40:43
Speaker 3: time this evening. Thank you so much still to Colm
40:46
Speaker 3: the man taking on Australia's A Safety Commissioner, and he
40:50
Speaker 3: is willing to take his case.
40:52
Speaker 4: All the way to the High Court.
41:02
Speaker 3: Welcome back, Nay Internet personality and children's rights activists Billboard.
41:06
Speaker 3: Chris is continuing his illegal fight against Australian censorship orders
41:12
Speaker 3: in a battle for his right to debate harmful gender
41:15
Speaker 3: ideology on x Chris's tweet questioning the appointment of a
41:19
Speaker 3: radical transactivist to a Weld Health Organization panel of experts
41:24
Speaker 3: and calling attention to the dangers of radical gender ideology
41:29
Speaker 3: was censored in February by the E Safety Commissioner Julia
41:33
Speaker 3: Van Grant aka E Karen. But he is fighting back
41:37
Speaker 3: and he joins me now to update us on his case.
41:40
Speaker 3: Chris Elston, Welcome back to the program. What is the
41:44
Speaker 3: latest on your case?
41:47
Speaker 12: So at first it was the Free Speech Union of
41:50
Speaker 12: Australia representing me, thanks to Reuben Kirkham and the excellent
41:53
Speaker 12: work they did. But I now have a proper law team,
41:56
Speaker 12: the Alliance Defending Freedom International pro bono Christian firm family
42:00
Speaker 12: lawyers in Australia, so I've got an excellent team and
42:03
Speaker 12: amazingly Elon also found appeal about my post. So we're
42:08
Speaker 12: working together with Ex's lawyers essentially, and these two cases
42:11
Speaker 12: are all going to be heard as one and it's
42:14
Speaker 12: very exciting because whether we win or lose at the tribunal,
42:17
Speaker 12: I think both teams are willing to take this to
42:18
Speaker 12: the High Court because this is an important precedent setting
42:22
Speaker 12: case for freedom of speech in Australia.
42:26
Speaker 3: Well, I've got to say, as a free speech love
42:28
Speaker 3: and an Australian taxpayer, I'm not too happy about my
42:32
Speaker 3: taxes being spent trying to censor you. Yeah, it seems
42:37
Speaker 3: like an absurd waste of public money and complete overreach
42:43
Speaker 3: to try to censor you on a platform like X.
42:48
Speaker 3: Tell me just about that coordination of your fight with
42:53
Speaker 3: Elon Musk's fight as well. If you've got back in you,
42:59
Speaker 3: I can see this going all the way to the
43:01
Speaker 3: High Court.
43:03
Speaker 12: Yeah, Unfortunately I don't have Elon's money backing me, but
43:06
Speaker 12: that's okay, we'll get it done. But yes, it's totally
43:09
Speaker 12: absurd that I live thirteen thousand kilometers away in your
43:11
Speaker 12: e Safety commissioners trying to determine what I can say
43:14
Speaker 12: about an Australian political individual. And what's interesting is when
43:19
Speaker 12: you look at what Teddy Cook actually complained about. So
43:22
Speaker 12: this is the woman that is a director at ACON
43:24
Speaker 12: and vice president of the Australian Professional Association for Transgender Health.
43:28
Speaker 12: Her complaint was about a picture that she had posted
43:31
Speaker 12: to her own social media where she showed some beast
43:34
Speaker 12: reality and the Daily Mail had featured that in their article.
43:38
Speaker 12: But the complaint was about the picture. It wasn't about misgendering.
43:41
Speaker 12: It seems to me from the documents that we've received,
43:44
Speaker 12: and some of these are public because the Free Speech
43:47
Speaker 12: Union did a freedom of information request and it looks
43:51
Speaker 12: like the e Safety Commissioner, on their own accord, decided
43:54
Speaker 12: to go after me for misgendering. It wasn't specifically in
43:57
Speaker 12: the complaint from Teddy Cook. And in our aliminary hearing
44:01
Speaker 12: with this federal judge, the president of the Appeals Tribunal
44:04
Speaker 12: himself within thirty seconds of our first hearing, which was
44:08
Speaker 12: just to determine dates for submitting documents, he chastised Reuben
44:12
Speaker 12: Kirkham of the Free Speech Union for calling Teddy Cook
44:15
Speaker 12: a woman and said we need to refer to her
44:18
Speaker 12: as a man because she identifies as one. But the
44:20
Speaker 12: whole point of the complaint is about my right to
44:22
Speaker 12: call her a woman. So the whole thing is absurd.
44:25
Speaker 12: I've said in my documents that we submitted that there's
44:27
Speaker 12: no way I'm calling her anything but a woman. I
44:29
Speaker 12: will use she her pronouns because to do anything else
44:31
Speaker 12: would violate my beliefs. And if they want to hold
44:33
Speaker 12: me in contempt and throw me in jail or whatever
44:35
Speaker 12: they want to do, I'm fine with that because I'm
44:37
Speaker 12: not doing anything but telling the truth.
44:41
Speaker 3: Now, you were in Australia earlier in the year. You
44:45
Speaker 3: wore your famous billboard and took to the streets and
44:48
Speaker 3: had discussions with people. Let's have a quick look at
44:53
Speaker 3: a couple of those interactions in Melbourne. See, you don't understand.
44:57
Speaker 10: You can sit there and.
44:58
Speaker 3: You can preach whatever you freaking want, but you don't
45:00
Speaker 3: have had that experience.
45:02
Speaker 8: But like, what you're saying is gender ideology, like shouldn't
45:05
Speaker 8: be taught in schools.
45:06
Speaker 3: Why can't people be taught that they're allowed to be
45:09
Speaker 3: who they want to be?
45:10
Speaker 8: When you're talking about children cannot consent to puberty blockers,
45:13
Speaker 8: what's funny about that they.
45:15
Speaker 7: Can consent to people children aren't they given puberty blocks
45:17
Speaker 7: and people the back as blockers have no irreversible effects,
45:20
Speaker 7: So like, what's the deal yet, Chris?
45:22
Speaker 3: How did you find Australia? And as an outsider, did
45:26
Speaker 3: you detect a difference between different cities?
45:29
Speaker 4: Is Melbourne more woke than Sydney? For example?
45:33
Speaker 12: It might have been luck of the job, but Melbourne
45:35
Speaker 12: is as woke as anywhere I have gone. It was
45:38
Speaker 12: pretty amazing. And there were all these feminists that this
45:42
Speaker 12: domestic violence rally who had a problem with me because
45:45
Speaker 12: I think we shouldn't sterilize kids. But they were fine
45:47
Speaker 12: with this man in a dress who was with them
45:49
Speaker 12: coming into their spaces. So I don't think they really
45:51
Speaker 12: understand the source of domestic violence. But people are just deceived.
45:55
Speaker 12: As we heard in that clip there, this woman thinks
45:57
Speaker 12: that children aren't being given puberty blockers. Well, if we're
46:00
Speaker 12: not giving puberty blockers to children, who are we giving
46:02
Speaker 12: them to it's to block puberty and it's children who
46:05
Speaker 12: go through puberty. So people who oppose this really just
46:08
Speaker 12: don't have any information. And so my campaign is really
46:10
Speaker 12: about educating them, and it's working. We're reaching millions of
46:12
Speaker 12: people and all across the globe. We are putting a
46:14
Speaker 12: stop to this in different jurisdictions.
46:18
Speaker 3: Now, let's talk about the fallout from the Olympic boxing
46:22
Speaker 3: scandal that's continuing involving our jerias Iman Khalif and Taiwan's
46:28
Speaker 3: Lin you Ting. The International Olympic Committee spokesman Mark Adams
46:33
Speaker 3: fronted the media to answer some question, but he did
46:36
Speaker 3: seem baffled when asked why the Committee did not conduct
46:41
Speaker 3: sex testing like the IBA does, under.
46:44
Speaker 15: What purpose, under what the test was for. I don't know,
46:48
Speaker 15: as I say, as far as we managed to do
46:51
Speaker 15: away with sex testing in the last century, so I'm
46:55
Speaker 15: not quite sure what the foundation for the testing was.
46:59
Speaker 15: We don't really know kind of very much more about
47:01
Speaker 15: it than that. But yes, we did receive a letter
47:03
Speaker 15: that we won't deal with the contents of that letter.
47:06
Speaker 3: Chris, What do you make of that response? They seem
47:10
Speaker 3: to be baffled and disgusted by sex testing, even though
47:16
Speaker 3: they used to do that.
47:17
Speaker 4: For some time.
47:19
Speaker 3: It was very normal for the Olympics to have testing
47:23
Speaker 3: to prove that a woman is a woman, but they
47:26
Speaker 3: did get rid of that some twenty odd years ago,
47:31
Speaker 3: and I think it's brought all sorts of problems that
47:34
Speaker 3: we've seen these scandal with a cawta semna saga, and
47:39
Speaker 3: they haven't seemed to have learned from that.
47:43
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's a funny thing. In the Olympics, they compete
47:46
Speaker 12: in two different categories. They're called male and female. So
47:49
Speaker 12: perhaps we should be testing to determine for sure that
47:53
Speaker 12: the females are females because in these two cases with
47:56
Speaker 12: these two boxers, which makes it even worse because they're
47:59
Speaker 12: beating up women, they happen to be male. They have
48:01
Speaker 12: all the advantages strength, speed, stamina, et cetera that males have,
48:07
Speaker 12: larger VO two max, more oxygen, all of these things,
48:11
Speaker 12: stronger bones, and yet now they're punching women and it
48:14
Speaker 12: looks like they're both going to go to the gold
48:16
Speaker 12: medal match. So this is an absolute discrease. The IBA
48:19
Speaker 12: already determined they were both male, and the IOC just
48:22
Speaker 12: want to bury their head in the sand and say
48:23
Speaker 12: this is all about diversity.
48:27
Speaker 3: Well, according to the IBA and what we're hearing from
48:32
Speaker 3: journalists who've actually seen the test results, they have x
48:37
Speaker 3: Y chromosomes and the IOC was advised of that and
48:41
Speaker 3: they have.
48:41
Speaker 4: Just chosen to ignore it.
48:42
Speaker 3: They've chosen to discredit the tests, discredit the reasons the
48:47
Speaker 3: tests were undertaken, and the losers out of this are
48:51
Speaker 3: the female athletes because they are going to be disadvantaged.
48:56
Speaker 3: And if both these spiders end up with medals, then
48:59
Speaker 3: I think it's an app salute travesty.
49:02
Speaker 4: Chris, thank you so much for your time.
49:03
Speaker 3: We always appreciate your insights and we'll have you back
49:07
Speaker 3: once your case progresses further.
49:09
Speaker 4: Chris Elson, thanks for your time tonight.
49:11
Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
49:13
Speaker 4: That's it from me. Up next is Newsnight.
49:15
Speaker 3: I'll see you at eleven tomorrow and Douglas Murray will
49:19
Speaker 3: be joining me.
49:20
Speaker 4: Good night,
