Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Welcome, wait to play, Thanks for joining us. I'm James
- 0:08Speaker 1: Macpherson with Liz Storer and Caleb Bond coming up tonight.
- 0:11Speaker 1: The Welsh government plans to ban politicians who lie from
- 0:15Speaker 1: entering parliament here here, how do you reckon that would go?
- 0:18Speaker 2: Here?
- 0:18Speaker 1: We wouldn't be left with anywhere in the parliament with themselves.
- 0:22Speaker 3: You say that like it's a bad thing. We'd be
- 0:24Speaker 3: lived with no one in the parliament. Hooray.
- 0:27Speaker 1: We talk about that more a bit later. Plus when
- 0:29Speaker 1: we get to the papers, fresh concerns that the East
- 0:33Speaker 1: Coast of Australia is soon to run out of gas,
- 0:36Speaker 1: and of course the fallout from Senator Payman's defection from
- 0:39Speaker 1: the Labor Party continues. But first, Melbourne is known for
- 0:44Speaker 1: its coffee culture. The only problem is who can afford
- 0:48Speaker 1: six dollars or more for a latte these days, So
- 0:50Speaker 1: cafe owners across the city have decided to get rid
- 0:53Speaker 1: of barristas and replace them with automated milk steaming machines.
- 0:58Speaker 1: Now say that these machines make coffees faster than barristers,
- 1:03Speaker 1: and the money they save are not having barristers that
- 1:07Speaker 1: can be passed on to customers in the form of
- 1:10Speaker 1: cheaper coffee.
- 1:11Speaker 2: James can I can I just interrupt you? And I'm
- 1:14Speaker 2: going to interrupt you to make a very funny point.
- 1:16Speaker 2: Go on on the strap and I'm not putting my
- 1:20Speaker 2: producer in the pooh here, but on the strap it
- 1:23Speaker 2: said barristers.
- 1:24Speaker 3: And this is a joke I.
- 1:26Speaker 2: Make all the time about how baristas wish they were barristers,
- 1:30Speaker 2: and they went to union studied law and thought they
- 1:33Speaker 2: were going to be a barrister, but they couldn't get
- 1:35Speaker 2: a job and they ended up as a barista.
- 1:38Speaker 3: Anyway, I just couldn't. I had to do it.
- 1:40Speaker 4: Can I just say that wasn't funny enough to justify the.
- 1:44Speaker 1: Come on, it's not a knock on our producer. Producers
- 1:48Speaker 1: incredibly witty and that's exactly a deliberate pun, very very clever.
- 1:53Speaker 1: Let's go to cafe owner Julian Mussey in Melbourne. He
- 1:56Speaker 1: said in the Herald Sun today, customers can't tell the different.
- 2:00Speaker 1: It's between the automated coffees and brist textured milk. The
- 2:04Speaker 1: milk comes out ten out of ten every time and
- 2:06Speaker 1: lets the brister pour the perfect latte art. I know
- 2:10Speaker 1: that's the most important thing. To me when I ordered
- 2:12Speaker 1: my latte? Is the art, Dylan, I'm sorry you drink lata.
- 2:19Speaker 4: That is not something you should admit live on as
- 2:22Speaker 4: a grown man.
- 2:23Speaker 1: How do you have long black? What's good about that?
- 2:27Speaker 4: It's not a cup of milk with a dabble of coffee.
- 2:32Speaker 3: He's a latte.
- 2:33Speaker 5: Why don't you just have a warm milo?
- 2:35Speaker 2: Man, you're gonna come and live with me in the
- 2:36Speaker 2: inner Weitz.
- 2:37Speaker 3: Now he's a latte, sipper.
- 2:39Speaker 1: Wait till you hear that I have my latte with
- 2:42Speaker 1: almond milk.
- 2:44Speaker 5: In your choice of milk.
- 2:45Speaker 4: Because after the latte, I was like, there's no way
- 2:48Speaker 4: he's having full cream milk and.
- 2:49Speaker 1: One drop of equal for sweetener. None of that is true,
- 2:53Speaker 1: by the way, moving on.
- 2:54Speaker 3: Dylan Whitemore here isn't real?
- 2:56Speaker 1: Can you just let me finish the introduction to this topic.
- 3:00Speaker 1: Dylan Whitemore from the Abicus Cafe. He's the general manager,
- 3:03Speaker 1: he said, and I quote, we went from having four
- 3:05Speaker 1: bristers working Saturdays and Sundays, but with implementing uber milk,
- 3:09Speaker 1: that's the new machine. We cut back to three barristers
- 3:12Speaker 1: every day. So assuming that these coffees are just as
- 3:16Speaker 1: good as those that are made by barristas, there's still
- 3:19Speaker 1: two questions. Number One, with cheaper coffee costs, because they're
- 3:23Speaker 1: not paying employment, will they pass on the savings to
- 3:26Speaker 1: consumers or will cafe managers just pocket the savings. And
- 3:29Speaker 1: the second question, of course is if they're using machines
- 3:32Speaker 1: to make coffees, no need for barristas. What do all
- 3:35Speaker 1: those young people with gender study degrees do when they
- 3:37Speaker 1: leave university or.
- 3:38Speaker 2: The people who did law degrees and can't get a
- 3:40Speaker 2: job as a barrister for that matter. I understand why
- 3:44Speaker 2: they're doing it, and look, the reality is you're not
- 3:46Speaker 2: probably going to get any money.
- 3:48Speaker 3: Off the cost of your coffee because the.
- 3:50Speaker 2: Cafe and the restaurant and the retailer, they've all seen
- 3:54Speaker 2: enough tick in their costs just to turn the lights on,
- 3:57Speaker 2: to operate the fridge, to buy all the bits and
- 4:00Speaker 2: pieces that they need to produce the product that you're
- 4:02Speaker 2: buying from them, and that's where a lot of the
- 4:05Speaker 2: cost has been. Like, the cost of staff hasn't gone
- 4:09Speaker 2: up that significantly in the last five years, but the
- 4:12Speaker 2: cost of production the bits and pieces certainly has, so
- 4:15Speaker 2: the money they're going to save by not having that
- 4:17Speaker 2: extra staff member there helps absorb some of that cost
- 4:21Speaker 2: that they have to spend on the milk and all
- 4:23Speaker 2: the other things.
- 4:25Speaker 3: But it is kind of scary.
- 4:26Speaker 2: And I know that a lot of the world is
- 4:28Speaker 2: mechanized now, but it's another job that someone is not
- 4:32Speaker 2: going to be able to have.
- 4:34Speaker 3: And I don't want to say that.
- 4:36Speaker 2: Baristas are unskilled, because they actually do go and do
- 4:40Speaker 2: training and whatever to do their jobs, but they're not
- 4:42Speaker 2: rocket scientists, right, And it is a job that an
- 4:46Speaker 2: ordinary person without a unique degree can go and learn
- 4:49Speaker 2: the basics and go and do it right. It's a
- 4:51Speaker 2: job that a teenager can do. And it's taking away
- 4:54Speaker 2: those basics of the jobs that a kid can go
- 4:57Speaker 2: and do on the weekend.
- 4:58Speaker 3: And what are they going to do?
- 4:59Speaker 2: I mean that they take all the customer not customers
- 5:04Speaker 2: to check our chicks out of the supermarkets.
- 5:07Speaker 3: Now they're getting rid of the baristas. What's a kid
- 5:10Speaker 3: going to do for work anymore? Be nothing left.
- 5:13Speaker 5: It just seems to be the way of the future.
- 5:15Speaker 5: There's absolutely no putting a genie back in the bottle now.
- 5:19Speaker 4: This is just it's gotten away with us as technology
- 5:22Speaker 4: always does, and naturally, employees are going to increasingly use
- 5:27Speaker 4: technology instead of people because you've got the upfront cost.
- 5:31Speaker 4: But whether that's the self serve checkouts, whether it's we
- 5:35Speaker 4: no longer need a person to steam our milk, whether
- 5:37Speaker 4: it's comms, people given chat, GPI and others are just getting.
- 5:43Speaker 5: Smarter and smarter. You can ask it to write you
- 5:45Speaker 5: an email.
- 5:46Speaker 4: Tell it basically the guts of what you want to.
- 5:48Speaker 5: Say, and it's written.
- 5:50Speaker 4: So this is alarmingly fast, but I can't see it
- 5:57Speaker 4: giving up anytime soon.
- 5:58Speaker 5: We've talked about driverless cuts the way of the future.
- 6:01Speaker 4: How many tens of thousands will that put out of work?
- 6:04Speaker 4: I still remember reading a report back in twenty nineteen
- 6:08Speaker 4: where self service checkouts were also.
- 6:10Speaker 5: New, and everyone was like, what is this gadget? And
- 6:13Speaker 5: why am I working for the supermarket for free?
- 6:16Speaker 2: But I'm still waiting for my invitation to the Christmas party.
- 6:18Speaker 2: By the way, all that work I've done for coals,
- 6:21Speaker 2: where's my reward?
- 6:22Speaker 5: Not even a snag?
- 6:23Speaker 1: Well, you asked, where did all those checkout chicks go?
- 6:26Speaker 1: Well they're now we're working as security guards in the
- 6:28Speaker 1: supermarkets because shoplifting is through the roof now using self
- 6:31Speaker 1: service cap.
- 6:32Speaker 5: Up seventeen percent.
- 6:33Speaker 4: But just back in twenty and nineteen seventy five thousand
- 6:37Speaker 4: checkout chicks or men, We're.
- 6:40Speaker 5: Out of work.
- 6:41Speaker 4: That was a UK report, But I still remember reading
- 6:44Speaker 4: it at the time and just being like, we're done
- 6:47Speaker 4: for now, Like this is just going to continue. Job
- 6:51Speaker 4: after job is going to be raised, and nobody seems
- 6:54Speaker 4: to have thought about that fact. What are these people
- 6:57Speaker 4: supposed to do in lower skilled or low associate economic
- 7:01Speaker 4: upbringings and areas, who aren't inclined to go to university,
- 7:04Speaker 4: what are.
- 7:05Speaker 5: They supposed to do?
- 7:06Speaker 2: Well, they end up on welfare. We don't have jobs
- 7:09Speaker 2: for them, and so then everyone else has to pay,
- 7:12Speaker 2: because it's unfair to expect that they're just going to
- 7:14Speaker 2: sit around with no money for the rest of their lives.
- 7:16Speaker 2: But if you don't have jobs for them to do,
- 7:19Speaker 2: you've got to look after them in some way, and
- 7:21Speaker 2: the only way to do that is through the welfare state.
- 7:24Speaker 2: So it feels great now where we say, okay, we've
- 7:27Speaker 2: got the automation and the mechanation here that allows things
- 7:31Speaker 2: to be easier and it makes the cost of doing
- 7:33Speaker 2: business cheaper, and that's good for people who can afford
- 7:36Speaker 2: to buy the product. But you then end up with
- 7:39Speaker 2: a whole lot of people who can't afford to buy
- 7:41Speaker 2: anything because you've taken away the jobs that allowed them
- 7:45Speaker 2: to buy your product in the first place. I feel
- 7:48Speaker 2: like there's a point where it goes too far, and
- 7:51Speaker 2: we've created so much automation that the world is not
- 7:55Speaker 2: one that you can economically live in anymore, because so
- 7:58Speaker 2: few people are actually able to get a job in
- 8:00Speaker 2: which to live in the world.
- 8:01Speaker 4: And those and yet those people, the employers mostly who
- 8:05Speaker 4: are replacing people with machines, will then argue, well, I'm
- 8:09Speaker 4: making products cheaper for you because now we don't have
- 8:13Speaker 4: to pay so many employees.
- 8:14Speaker 3: So hey, it.
- 8:15Speaker 4: Means cheaper coffee for you guys, etcetera, etcetera, and so on,
- 8:19Speaker 4: and so the consumer remains like, well.
- 8:21Speaker 6: I guess this is a good thing, except that a
- 8:24Speaker 6: lot less people have jobs to the US now where
- 8:27Speaker 6: President Joe Biden's it looks like his chances of becoming
- 8:31Speaker 6: the Democratic nominee for president it's not going to last
- 8:35Speaker 6: longer than a breath mint after Friday.
- 8:38Speaker 4: And he is being encouraged by several powerbrokers in the
- 8:42Speaker 4: Democratic Party to throw his weight what litly has left,
- 8:46Speaker 4: if any behind Kamala Harris, the VP best known for laughing,
- 8:53Speaker 4: yet every question that she's asked, Nothing is funnier to
- 8:57Speaker 4: this woman than a question she doesn't know the answer to.
- 9:02Speaker 5: You all know who I'm talking about.
- 9:04Speaker 4: So right now things aren't looking so good for the
- 9:06Speaker 4: Dems if they've got to choose between a senile old
- 9:09Speaker 4: man and the intellectual equivalent of a lump of ham.
- 9:14Speaker 4: Here's a little example of what I'm talking about. Here's
- 9:17Speaker 4: Kamala Harris explaining to you how a rocket.
- 9:21Speaker 7: Takes off, which brings me to May thirtieth, twenty twenty.
- 9:27Speaker 7: Bob and Doug returned to the Kennedy Space Center. They
- 9:32Speaker 7: suit it up, they waved to their families, and they
- 9:38Speaker 7: rode an elevator up nearly twenty stories. They strapped in
- 9:44Speaker 7: to their seats and waited as the tanks beneath them
- 9:48Speaker 7: filled with tens of thousands of gallons of fuel, and
- 9:53Speaker 7: then they launched.
- 9:58Speaker 3: Yeah they did.
- 10:02Speaker 5: There's that laugh.
- 10:03Speaker 4: I can't believe Nasi didn't snap her up after that performance.
- 10:07Speaker 4: That was so comprehensive. Thank you very much. Here's elked
- 10:10Speaker 4: video of Trump after the well.
- 10:14Speaker 5: What was for him a very good debate on Friday,
- 10:17Speaker 5: explaining that.
- 10:19Speaker 4: Biden is done and he actually thinks Kamala might get
- 10:23Speaker 4: the gong.
- 10:25Speaker 3: He just quit, you know, he's Quinn in the wrest.
- 10:27Speaker 2: Is that right? Yeah?
- 10:29Speaker 4: And that means we have Kamala. I think she's going
- 10:32Speaker 4: to be better.
- 10:34Speaker 1: She's of course.
- 10:38Speaker 4: That would be the biggest gift to the Republican Party.
- 10:42Speaker 4: It would mean that we barely need to have an election.
- 10:45Speaker 4: Nobody is going to want to vote for cackling Kamala.
- 10:50Speaker 5: Here's a bit more of her antics.
- 10:52Speaker 4: At the time she was going on CNN to talk
- 10:55Speaker 4: to quits Cuomo, she decided to open her address with
- 11:00Speaker 4: her pronouns, just in case anyone was in doubt.
- 11:06Speaker 3: But to see your snaby, thank you for joining.
- 11:08Speaker 4: Us, appreciate it.
- 11:09Speaker 7: How are you, Emma? Thank you guys?
- 11:14Speaker 5: And my pronouns?
- 11:15Speaker 2: Are she?
- 11:15Speaker 5: Her? And hers mine too?
- 11:21Speaker 3: All right?
- 11:22Speaker 4: Imagine having an actual leader of the free world, commander
- 11:26Speaker 4: in chief that starts addresses with their pronouns.
- 11:31Speaker 5: I mean, tell me there's no chance of this happening, right.
- 11:34Speaker 4: It would have to be Newsome, it would have to
- 11:37Speaker 4: be Michelle Obama, it would have.
- 11:38Speaker 5: To be Buddhaje, it would have.
- 11:40Speaker 4: To be anyone but this woman who makes absolutely no sense.
- 11:46Speaker 1: I'm just trying to picture Vladimir Putin jiping and President
- 11:49Speaker 1: Kamala Harris sitting down. How can you discuss how they
- 11:52Speaker 1: will avert World War three? And she begins by first,
- 11:55Speaker 1: if we perhaps like share our pronouns, that would get
- 11:58Speaker 1: the meeting off to a good start.
- 12:00Speaker 5: Ice break up.
- 12:02Speaker 2: And then then and then the male interviewer says that
- 12:06Speaker 2: they're his pronouns too, her pronouns too, because Chris Cuomo
- 12:09Speaker 2: when she said she hers, and he goes mine too,
- 12:13Speaker 2: so she Chris Cuomo. But it is incredible to have
- 12:19Speaker 2: watched the conformity with which the Democrats and dem supporters
- 12:23Speaker 2: have come out over the last week and said that
- 12:26Speaker 2: Joe is done.
- 12:27Speaker 3: He cannot run.
- 12:28Speaker 2: This is absolute death for us. He cannot beat Trump.
- 12:32Speaker 2: And so Joe's people are like, right, we need a
- 12:35Speaker 2: backup plan. We've got the backup plan. It's gonna Bekamala
- 12:39Speaker 2: Harris like, okay, you've worked out that Joe Biden can't
- 12:44Speaker 2: win the election against Trump, and then you've just gone
- 12:48Speaker 2: and found the only person in the United States who
- 12:52Speaker 2: actually polls lower than Joe Biden for popularity and decided
- 12:57Speaker 2: that she is the one you were going to put
- 13:00Speaker 2: up against Donald Trump. It is clinically insane. I reckon
- 13:05Speaker 2: the reaction, the laughing from within the Republicans this week
- 13:11Speaker 2: has probably gone something like this, oh good, great, but
- 13:36Speaker 2: that may as well be live scenes from Donald Trump
- 13:39Speaker 2: on the golf course.
- 13:40Speaker 3: Seriously, like, can.
- 13:41Speaker 2: You imagine him coming up against Kamala Harris?
- 13:44Speaker 3: You thought he ate Joe Biden alive and killer?
- 13:47Speaker 1: Well, this is the whole diversity, equity and inclusion philosophy
- 13:50Speaker 1: coming back to bite the Democrats and ultimately to bite America. Right.
- 13:54Speaker 1: She wasn't given the job as vice president because she
- 13:57Speaker 1: was qualified or because she had any experience that would
- 14:01Speaker 1: enable her to do it. She was given it because
- 14:03Speaker 1: she was female and she was black. So to not
- 14:06Speaker 1: have her as next in line is to admit that
- 14:09Speaker 1: DEI does not work and is not good for the country.
- 14:12Speaker 1: And they can't admit that because the Democrats have built
- 14:14Speaker 1: their entire political platform over the last decade or more
- 14:17Speaker 1: on that philosophy.
- 14:19Speaker 5: But they need to admit it and fast.
- 14:21Speaker 4: Check out this map that was leaked by the Democrats'
- 14:25Speaker 4: own polling company. This is currently like what the state
- 14:29Speaker 4: of play is looking like in America. You weren't supposed
- 14:34Speaker 4: to see this, and heaven knows, the end result in
- 14:37Speaker 4: November may not look like this, But right now, this
- 14:41Speaker 4: is what they're polling numbers are showing that ladies and
- 14:45Speaker 4: gentlemen is not a red wave.
- 14:46Speaker 5: It is a red tsunami. And this is what the Dems.
- 14:50Speaker 4: Know that they are set for, which again is why
- 14:53Speaker 4: it's not a question of if Biden steps down, but
- 14:57Speaker 4: when he steps down, and the Dems are still very
- 15:00Speaker 4: democratically saying, oh, this is a call for Biden, nobody
- 15:03Speaker 4: else can make it but him. Well, so far, he's
- 15:06Speaker 4: been very, very vocal about the fact that he's.
- 15:10Speaker 5: Not going anywhere.
- 15:11Speaker 4: He sent an email out to his supporters and literally said,
- 15:15Speaker 4: to be clear, I will be running. So I'm not
- 15:19Speaker 4: sure who's going to get through to him. Maybe they
- 15:22Speaker 4: should just show him that map because for the good
- 15:24Speaker 4: of the country, now he has to throw down his hat.
- 15:30Speaker 1: Well, he's lost the media, he's lost his Democrat colleagues,
- 15:34Speaker 1: many of them are now openly calling for him to
- 15:37Speaker 1: be replaced. That map that you showed came from private,
- 15:41Speaker 1: confidential Democrat polls, confidentially, Well, it's now been leaked and
- 15:45Speaker 1: obviously leaked because they want to show him up. And
- 15:48Speaker 1: even the White House spokesperson was saying yesterday that Kamala
- 15:54Speaker 1: Harris is the future of the Democrat Party. Oh wow,
- 15:57Speaker 1: God help them if that's true.
- 15:59Speaker 2: But toast indeed, and you speak of coringe On Pierre,
- 16:03Speaker 2: there's Joe Biden's pre secretary. She was asked today about
- 16:07Speaker 2: Joe Biden actually coming into perhaps front up to the
- 16:10Speaker 2: media side.
- 16:11Speaker 3: Note, that's not going to happen.
- 16:13Speaker 2: But this was the hilarious response of one journalist in
- 16:16Speaker 2: the room.
- 16:18Speaker 4: Well, he's seeing that, and I'm I'm sharing with you
- 16:21Speaker 4: his view, and we would invite the president to come
- 16:25Speaker 4: here and tell.
- 16:25Speaker 5: Noted directly noted Kelly.
- 16:28Speaker 1: Plays a week.
- 16:30Speaker 4: That's as you heard on your colleague.
- 16:33Speaker 3: The president of the WHA.
- 16:35Speaker 5: That's inappropriate, thank you, Kelly.
- 16:37Speaker 2: Oh, that's inappropriate, even though it is quite probably true
- 16:41Speaker 2: because of course we saw this week all the stories
- 16:44Speaker 2: about how he gets really tired after four pm, and
- 16:46Speaker 2: they schedule all these meetings between ten am and four
- 16:49Speaker 2: pm because that's the only time they can get him lucid,
- 16:52Speaker 2: like he probably does go off for a Nana napp
- 16:54Speaker 2: at four o'clock.
- 16:55Speaker 5: Well, we've seen him fall asleep.
- 16:57Speaker 4: There was the get together that they had four or
- 17:00Speaker 4: was it the fires like post the Tragic's fires.
- 17:05Speaker 5: He was falling asleep at that.
- 17:07Speaker 4: Then he was at some whether it was EU or
- 17:09Speaker 4: un meeting who was caught dozing.
- 17:12Speaker 5: Then.
- 17:12Speaker 4: I mean, over the years, we've shown quite a bit
- 17:14Speaker 4: of footage of this guy falling asleep or shall we say,
- 17:18Speaker 4: resting his eyes at very important presidential events. But before
- 17:23Speaker 4: we leave Kamala Harris, here's one of my personal favorites
- 17:27Speaker 4: from her addressing a very large crowd, and she accidentally
- 17:31Speaker 4: let it slip that a central part of the Democratic
- 17:35Speaker 4: plans for climate change and how to tackle that was
- 17:39Speaker 4: population reduction.
- 17:42Speaker 7: Because think also about the impact on not only the
- 17:46Speaker 7: local economy, not only on an investment in the entrepreneurs
- 17:51Speaker 7: and innovators from and in the community, think about the
- 17:55Speaker 7: impact on something like public health.
- 17:58Speaker 5: When we invest in clean and.
- 18:00Speaker 7: Electric vehicles and reduce population, more of our children can
- 18:05Speaker 7: breathe clean air and drink clean water.
- 18:12Speaker 4: How many times have I said, once you realize the
- 18:15Speaker 4: carbon they want to reduce is actually you and I.
- 18:19Speaker 4: All their radical plans for this green energy transition starts
- 18:23Speaker 4: to make a lot more sense.
- 18:26Speaker 5: I love it. I love the Freudian slip that did.
- 18:29Speaker 4: I just tell you that there needs to be less
- 18:32Speaker 4: of you in order for us to actually march out
- 18:34Speaker 4: what we're really up to when we talk about green
- 18:38Speaker 4: energy and battling climate.
- 18:40Speaker 1: When she talked about population reduction, I honestly thought she
- 18:42Speaker 1: was talking about Joe Biden.
- 18:44Speaker 5: Well, look, that's going to take care of itself. Well.
- 18:47Speaker 2: Indeed, we found out, of course, during the week from
- 18:50Speaker 2: the Supreme Court the decisions, official decisions taken by presidents
- 18:55Speaker 2: have immunity from prosecution. So maybe Kamala Harris, if God forbid,
- 18:59Speaker 2: cheap president could just walk into the middle of Times
- 19:02Speaker 2: Square just start mowing people down. Population can charge good
- 19:07Speaker 2: for the climate, it's good for the climate.
- 19:08Speaker 3: It's part of my official duties.
- 19:10Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 19:10Speaker 3: She might give it a go. You know.
- 19:11Speaker 1: The next stage in this discussion of Biden's mental capacity
- 19:15Speaker 1: is there's a great article in Tomorrow's Australian by Adam
- 19:18Speaker 1: Crichton who's asking the question now that it's clear Joe
- 19:21Speaker 1: Biden clearly is not in his right faculties. If you
- 19:24Speaker 1: go back through all of his recent policies. How much
- 19:27Speaker 1: of them were Joe Biden in his right mind correct,
- 19:30Speaker 1: versus a rather mentally incapacitated president making some really bad decisions.
- 19:35Speaker 4: Before we know he hasn't been instrumental in writing any
- 19:38Speaker 4: of that policy for us.
- 19:43Speaker 5: He has to sign off on it.
- 19:44Speaker 4: Yes, But the whole reason why they've kept this soft
- 19:48Speaker 4: puppet in the presidency. In fact, I would argue the
- 19:52Speaker 4: reason that they got him in the first place in
- 19:53Speaker 4: twenty twenty was because they knew this guy doesn't have
- 19:57Speaker 4: the mental faculties.
- 19:58Speaker 5: So we've known for a.
- 19:59Speaker 4: Very long time now somebody else is running America, the
- 20:03Speaker 4: powers that be, the global elite to whether you want to
- 20:06Speaker 4: call them, it certainly hasn't been this poor senile old man.
- 20:10Speaker 5: That should be being taken care of in his.
- 20:14Speaker 4: Older years instead of us watching this ridiculous display of
- 20:18Speaker 4: elder abuse and most people pretending like it's not happening.
- 20:23Speaker 4: But in terms of cover up, I love Adam Crichton's article,
- 20:27Speaker 4: but let's take it to another article in the Huffington Post.
- 20:31Speaker 4: We're a different writer this time, an opinion writer by
- 20:35Speaker 4: the name of Keevan Schroff says, Oh.
- 20:39Speaker 5: There's a way to get around this, guys.
- 20:41Speaker 4: If the Biden campaign just starts using AI to convince
- 20:45Speaker 4: everyone that hate is actually not doing that badly, then.
- 20:49Speaker 5: It'll be fine.
- 20:51Speaker 4: The Democrats cheated back in twenty twenty, if you ask me, so,
- 20:55Speaker 4: they know the only way they could pull off a
- 20:57Speaker 4: blue wind this time is to do it again.
- 21:01Speaker 5: Here's what Kaivan wrote.
- 21:02Speaker 4: He said, AI augmentations and video renderings could serve to
- 21:06Speaker 4: smooth out these bumps, able to make a mole heel
- 21:09Speaker 4: out of a mountain buddy, while allowing the Biden campaign
- 21:13Speaker 4: to effectively disseminate true information about the state of our
- 21:18Speaker 4: democracy and the Biden administration's accomplishment. So he's literally saying,
- 21:24Speaker 4: fool people by using AI that Biden is strong, healthy,
- 21:30Speaker 4: and they would be able to produce videos of him
- 21:33Speaker 4: just staring down the barrel, talking really confidently, saying whatever
- 21:37Speaker 4: he's been programmed to say. The fact that this is
- 21:41Speaker 4: openly being marketed now, like DEM's what are you thinking?
- 21:45Speaker 5: There is an obvious solution to this. Just lie to everyone,
- 21:48Speaker 5: fall to everyone.
- 21:49Speaker 4: Like just get the misinformation, disinformation. People can't tell reality
- 21:53Speaker 4: from AI yet, just roll out of fake Biden.
- 21:57Speaker 1: Well, I mean the irony is. It's only a couple
- 21:58Speaker 1: of weeks ago the Democrats were planing that videos of
- 22:01Speaker 1: Biden's stumbling and stammering word deep fakes. Now they're openly
- 22:05Speaker 1: propagating let's use deep fates to convince everyone that Biden
- 22:08Speaker 1: is still alive. But if you want to talk about
- 22:10Speaker 1: moral relativism and the effect it has on the body
- 22:14Speaker 1: politic when they embrace it, the article goes on to say,
- 22:16Speaker 1: and I quote, the greatest moral and ethical imperative for
- 22:21Speaker 1: those who care about America's democracy should be keeping the
- 22:24Speaker 1: man who tried to overthrow it as far away from
- 22:26Speaker 1: the White House as possible. In other words, nothing matters
- 22:30Speaker 1: more whether you have to lie, cheat, steel, assassinate, whatever
- 22:34Speaker 1: you have to do to win this election. That is
- 22:37Speaker 1: the only moral imperative. That's how morally bankrupt the Democrats
- 22:40Speaker 1: now are.
- 22:41Speaker 2: And they're too dumb to realize that in doing that,
- 22:43Speaker 2: they would be doing exactly the same as what they
- 22:46Speaker 2: have accused Donald Trump o doing. Right, They just can't
- 22:49Speaker 2: compute it, And I find it utterly incredible that someone
- 22:54Speaker 2: would even sit down at the comput and this bloat
- 22:56Speaker 2: worked on the Hillary Clinton campaign in twenty sixteen by
- 22:58Speaker 2: the way go some way to explaining by she lost,
- 23:02Speaker 2: Because if you're taking advice from this blow, he's actually
- 23:05Speaker 2: sat down and thought, oh, yes, this is a very
- 23:07Speaker 2: smart thing that I should write and publish in the
- 23:10Speaker 2: Huffington Post, saying that we should just openly lie and
- 23:13Speaker 2: mislead the public in politics. And I think of the
- 23:18Speaker 2: whole quote unquote hush money trial that Donald Trump went through,
- 23:22Speaker 2: and the basis of that was basically that by paying
- 23:27Speaker 2: off Stormy Daniels and then trying to cover up that
- 23:30Speaker 2: the money had been paid because he chagged her, which
- 23:33Speaker 2: she denies, influenced the course of the election. Right, they
- 23:37Speaker 2: did fraudulent activity to influence the course of the election.
- 23:41Speaker 2: Now would using AI to put up a fake president
- 23:46Speaker 2: not be fraudulent activity that influences the course of an election?
- 23:52Speaker 4: Well, as Shroff says, it is in defensive democracy. I mean,
- 23:56Speaker 4: you've got to save the nation. So it seems like
- 23:59Speaker 4: you said, it's all moral relativism. If if the means
- 24:03Speaker 4: justify the ends, then he can't see a problem with it.
- 24:07Speaker 4: What I don't understand is why people how they get
- 24:12Speaker 4: this blind trust in the institution. Because he refers to
- 24:16Speaker 4: Trump as being this. You know, he's not part of
- 24:19Speaker 4: the establishment, we can't possibly have him, which is a
- 24:22Speaker 4: sentiment that's trumped out by a lot of Democratic supporters.
- 24:27Speaker 5: And I'm like, if you know anything about.
- 24:30Speaker 4: History, what on earth makes you vote for the establishment.
- 24:34Speaker 5: Don't you want the renegade who's.
- 24:35Speaker 4: Like, I'm gonna burn Deep State in their beds, I'm
- 24:38Speaker 4: gonna expose everything, I'm gonna upset the most evil people
- 24:43Speaker 4: on earth? Why on earth are these people so trusting
- 24:49Speaker 4: saying no, we want to stick. Maybe it's just a
- 24:52Speaker 4: better the devil, you know type scenario.
- 24:55Speaker 5: Way, I find it incredulous.
- 24:56Speaker 3: Look look to be perfectly honest.
- 24:58Speaker 2: AI probably couldn't do a work job of running the
- 25:01Speaker 2: United States than Joe Biden is at the moment. It
- 25:03Speaker 2: may will be worth giving a go, But we do
- 25:06Speaker 2: have a small glimpse into what a world of Ai
- 25:10Speaker 2: Joe Biden might look like. Here's his State of the
- 25:13Speaker 2: Union speech reimagined.
- 25:16Speaker 1: Where is my script?
- 25:17Speaker 8: Did I take my pills?
- 25:20Speaker 3: Honey?
- 25:20Speaker 8: Do you have my pills up there?
- 25:22Speaker 3: Yep?
- 25:23Speaker 8: Don't give me lip girl. Papa's not happy. Hey, don't
- 25:27Speaker 8: make me angry. You would like to see me when
- 25:29Speaker 8: I'm angry? That is a quote from the Mighty Ducks.
- 25:34Speaker 8: I'm hungry, Hey boy, give me some chicken nuggets. Don't
- 25:39Speaker 8: need for thanks. I'll put me some fries too. I
- 25:42Speaker 8: wish I married that fine person, Nancy Pelosi.
- 25:49Speaker 3: Ah the power of AI. Hey.
- 25:51Speaker 2: Now, let's move on to some COVID scare mongering. Just
- 25:55Speaker 2: when you thought it was all over, we're being told
- 25:58Speaker 2: there's another strain on the It's gonna ravage the country.
- 26:02Speaker 2: It has according to a story I read this week,
- 26:04Speaker 2: it has ripped through the US. It's about to rip
- 26:08Speaker 2: through us. Now there's two different variants that are causing
- 26:11Speaker 2: trouble at the moment right.
- 26:12Speaker 3: One of them is called flirt.
- 26:14Speaker 2: Now, look, I've never been more excited to get sick
- 26:17Speaker 2: in my life. I want to catch flirt on Saturday night,
- 26:21Speaker 2: Thank you very much.
- 26:22Speaker 3: Give it right to me.
- 26:24Speaker 2: And the other one that's come through after flirt is
- 26:27Speaker 2: spelled fluqe. Now I don't know whether that's fluck or
- 26:32Speaker 2: it is fluke. And if one came after flirt, that
- 26:36Speaker 2: would somewhat make some sense, wouldn't it.
- 26:38Speaker 3: But it is the typical stuff.
- 26:40Speaker 2: Right here, we are thinking we're all over it, and
- 26:42Speaker 2: we've got.
- 26:42Speaker 3: News stories coming back up saying got to watch for COVID,
- 26:45Speaker 3: Gotta watch that for COVID. It's terrible, It's terrible. It's
- 26:48Speaker 3: said in this story. This is doctor Lara Herrero.
- 26:51Speaker 2: Saying that the flirt variance or a group of subvariants
- 26:54Speaker 2: of JAN one from the Omicron lineage.
- 26:56Speaker 3: You remember when we're talking about omicron My god.
- 26:59Speaker 2: Jan one was detected in August twenty twenty three and
- 27:01Speaker 2: declared a variant of interest by the World Health Organization
- 27:05Speaker 2: in December twenty twenty three. By early twenty twenty four,
- 27:08Speaker 2: it had become the most dominant variant in Australia and
- 27:11Speaker 2: much of the rest of the world, driving.
- 27:14Speaker 3: Large waves of infections.
- 27:16Speaker 2: Now, I don't know about you, but I haven't been
- 27:18Speaker 2: too worried about those large waves of inflection infection.
- 27:21Speaker 3: Sorry, but I'm kind of imagining that. Like if you
- 27:23Speaker 3: go down to.
- 27:24Speaker 2: The doctor and you're like, doctor, I've got flirt, it's
- 27:27Speaker 2: going to go something like this, the doctor give.
- 27:32Speaker 3: Me the news, AGA.
- 27:35Speaker 5: Loving you.
- 27:38Speaker 3: I want it.
- 27:38Speaker 2: I want I want to catch flirt. Right, I've never
- 27:41Speaker 2: been more excited to get sick. It sounds like a
- 27:43Speaker 2: lot of fun. Come on, say something.
- 27:47Speaker 1: Sorry, I'll try work at how you're going to catch it.
- 27:50Speaker 1: I stopped paying a.
- 27:50Speaker 3: Teenty I can tell you how you catch I don't
- 27:52Speaker 3: want to know.
- 27:53Speaker 1: I just amaze news organizations are running these stories. Really,
- 27:57Speaker 1: is that con Yeah?
- 27:58Speaker 3: Yeah, I would.
- 28:00Speaker 2: I thought that we were beyond the point now where
- 28:02Speaker 2: anyone cared about this stuff.
- 28:04Speaker 3: But it is still being published now.
- 28:06Speaker 2: I don't know whether that's because people are clicking on
- 28:08Speaker 2: it and they do actually want to read it, or
- 28:10Speaker 2: it's a bit like, you know, we've got to keep
- 28:11Speaker 2: pushing the agenda because of course, all the power that
- 28:15Speaker 2: the COVID Times gave to a lot of people, premiers
- 28:17Speaker 2: and chief help officers and whatever they loved, and they
- 28:20Speaker 2: didn't want to give it up, so that they're hanging
- 28:21Speaker 2: on to every little bit of power.
- 28:23Speaker 4: That it gave you ever getting it back after the
- 28:25Speaker 4: last four years, I mean, even rolling out articles like
- 28:29Speaker 4: this that seemed to be rather a non story, And
- 28:32Speaker 4: in my humble opinion, I just can't believe they're doing
- 28:36Speaker 4: it at a time where people are literally still recovering from.
- 28:39Speaker 5: PTSD from the last four years.
- 28:42Speaker 4: Business is hitting the walls, being locked inside your own home,
- 28:46Speaker 4: all the rest of it. Social distancing, got to wear
- 28:49Speaker 4: your ppe, can't even see your loved ones.
- 28:52Speaker 5: It was such a horrible time.
- 28:55Speaker 4: People want to forget and people want to move on,
- 28:58Speaker 4: and that is perfectly understand standable.
- 29:00Speaker 1: And of course we do need to mention that the
- 29:02Speaker 1: Australian government does recommend that vaccines are the best protection
- 29:06Speaker 1: for especially elderly people and people with existing health issues,
- 29:10Speaker 1: to protect them from COVID. Let's go to the US
- 29:12Speaker 1: where an American news anchor is suing CBS after he
- 29:17Speaker 1: says they sacked him because he wasn't female, wasn't gay,
- 29:21Speaker 1: and wasn't black. I mean, how much bad luck can
- 29:24Speaker 1: you have?
- 29:25Speaker 3: Paul Bargo came out having a really tough life.
- 29:28Speaker 1: Jeff Vaughan for eight years was the main anchor at
- 29:31Speaker 1: CBS News, or for one of their affiliates at least,
- 29:34Speaker 1: and he was replaced in twenty twenty two by a
- 29:37Speaker 1: younger news anchor who was black. Now, he was told
- 29:40Speaker 1: at the time that he was being sacked, but given
- 29:44Speaker 1: no reason for it other than told ratings were not
- 29:47Speaker 1: a problem, so he was never really given any sort
- 29:50Speaker 1: of explanation. But at the time CBS had been making
- 29:54Speaker 1: a big deal about their push for diversity. In fact,
- 29:58Speaker 1: they'd been advertising that they're go was to have half
- 30:01Speaker 1: of all their writers people of color, half of all
- 30:04Speaker 1: their contestants on reality shows to be from minority groups,
- 30:07Speaker 1: And they were boasting that they doubled female representation and
- 30:11Speaker 1: they tripled the number of people of color who were
- 30:14Speaker 1: on staff at the network. So it kind of felt
- 30:17Speaker 1: to him like he was being pushed out because he
- 30:21Speaker 1: was white. And of course the final nail in the
- 30:23Speaker 1: coffin was when just before his sacking, they produced a
- 30:27Speaker 1: promotional billboard which featured all of the news anchors on
- 30:30Speaker 1: the station except for him, and of course he was
- 30:33Speaker 1: the only white news anchor. He was left out. So
- 30:36Speaker 1: he's suing them for five million dollars and his lawsuit
- 30:39Speaker 1: claims and I quote CBS decided that there were too
- 30:42Speaker 1: many white males at the station and acted accordingly. It
- 30:46Speaker 1: needed to solve its white problem by firing successful white males,
- 30:52Speaker 1: not exactly what Martin Luther King had envisaged for the
- 30:56Speaker 1: United States when he said I have a dream that
- 30:58Speaker 1: one day news anchors will judged by their presentation skills
- 31:02Speaker 1: rather than their sexual orientation or the pigmentation of their skin.
- 31:05Speaker 2: Well, when I do those, and if you work in
- 31:08Speaker 2: a corporate job, you'll know what I'm talking about, those
- 31:11Speaker 2: endless bloody modules that you have to fill out about
- 31:14Speaker 2: you know, you understand diversity, and you understand how not
- 31:17Speaker 2: to harass people, and you know not to pinch people
- 31:20Speaker 2: on the barm, et cetera, et cetera.
- 31:22Speaker 3: And it always talks about how.
- 31:24Speaker 2: Badly minorities have it in the workplace, and don't pick
- 31:27Speaker 2: on the Asian staff member, and don't pick on the
- 31:29Speaker 2: gay staff member. They're going to have to start including
- 31:32Speaker 2: a bit about don't pick on the straight, white male
- 31:34Speaker 2: staff member because he's now the minority. Like if you're
- 31:39Speaker 2: saying that the billboard had all these people and he
- 31:41Speaker 2: would have been the only white one, he's now in
- 31:43Speaker 2: the minority.
- 31:44Speaker 5: We are, we are the minority. White people make it,
- 31:47Speaker 5: you're a woman.
- 31:48Speaker 3: No, you've got more than us.
- 31:53Speaker 4: White people make up less than ten percent of the
- 31:56Speaker 4: world's populations. So whenever they talk about minorities, I'm like,
- 32:00Speaker 4: a hello. Honestly, it's just absolutely I am so happy
- 32:07Speaker 4: Jeff Waughne has taken this on.
- 32:08Speaker 5: We wish your luck, buddy, because this.
- 32:11Speaker 4: Will be this will set a really important president because
- 32:14Speaker 4: I have no doubt many scalps hanging on the wall
- 32:18Speaker 4: of DEI, thousands and thousands, because this has been so
- 32:22Speaker 4: prevalent in our culture for so long now, but very
- 32:25Speaker 4: rarely do you see someone with the money the means
- 32:29Speaker 4: the gonads to go No, I'm taking this to court.
- 32:32Speaker 5: This was discrimination.
- 32:34Speaker 1: I was not just in America. Reminds me of a
- 32:36Speaker 1: maid of mine who used to work at the ABC
- 32:38Speaker 1: and he was putting in an application for a promotion
- 32:40Speaker 1: and he was doing very well at the ABC, but
- 32:43Speaker 1: he told me on the application form for the promotion,
- 32:46Speaker 1: you had to nominate what diversity qualities you bought. And
- 32:51Speaker 1: of course, being a straight white male, he was trying
- 32:54Speaker 1: to think of something in his background, anything mate, And
- 32:57Speaker 1: someone prompted, what about your parents and he said, well,
- 32:59Speaker 1: they speak at an other language. Immediately his pitch for them, well.
- 33:06Speaker 5: My parents are as good as it gets.
- 33:10Speaker 1: Well, Prince Harry is upsetting people in the UK, we
- 33:13Speaker 1: know that, but now he's upsetting people in the United States. Seriously,
- 33:16Speaker 1: he can't find anyone who likes him, the poor guy.
- 33:19Speaker 1: ESPN have just announced that Prince Harry will receive a
- 33:22Speaker 1: special award named in honor of Pat Tillman, a fallen
- 33:27Speaker 1: US soldier and promising NFL player. Tilman was offered a
- 33:32Speaker 1: million dollar contract to play American football, but he forewent
- 33:35Speaker 1: that in order to go and serve in Afghanistan, where
- 33:38Speaker 1: he was killed due to friendly fire. So in honor
- 33:41Speaker 1: of Pat Tilman laying down his life for the United States,
- 33:44Speaker 1: they've established this award to recognize people who are providing
- 33:48Speaker 1: services to veterans. Well, they've decided to give this year
- 33:52Speaker 1: award to Prince Harry, who, to be fair, has served veterans.
- 33:56Speaker 1: He established the Invictus Games. But Pat Hillman, the dead
- 34:01Speaker 1: Man's mother, she's absolutely furious that this award would go
- 34:05Speaker 1: to Prince Harry. She said, and I quote, I'm shocked
- 34:09Speaker 1: as to why they would select such a controversial and
- 34:11Speaker 1: divisive individual to receive the award. There are recipients that
- 34:15Speaker 1: are far more fitting. There are individuals working in the
- 34:18Speaker 1: veteran community that are doing tremendous things to assist veterans.
- 34:22Speaker 1: These individuals don't have the money, resources, connections, or privilege
- 34:26Speaker 1: that Prince Harry has. Now, Harry has said he will
- 34:29Speaker 1: go to Hollywood in a couple of weeks to receive
- 34:31Speaker 1: the award, but Harry's not reading the room. No one
- 34:35Speaker 1: thinks he deserves this. A he's from the UK, b
- 34:38Speaker 1: another award is the last thing Harry needs. He needs
- 34:42Speaker 1: a hug from his dad, not a trophy. And third,
- 34:46Speaker 1: the mum of the dead soldier doesn't want her son
- 34:49Speaker 1: honored with an award to Harry.
- 34:51Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I mean I think he should probably hug
- 34:54Speaker 2: his dad, to be perfectly honest.
- 34:56Speaker 3: Not the other way around. At the risk of selling
- 34:58Speaker 3: like I'm defending Harry.
- 35:00Speaker 2: The Invictus Games is a great product and he's a
- 35:03Speaker 2: great work.
- 35:03Speaker 1: He's received a lot of recognition.
- 35:05Speaker 2: But when the mother of the guy after whom the
- 35:08Speaker 2: award is name says I don't think it could should
- 35:11Speaker 2: go to him, it's probably pretty clear cutcase there.
- 35:14Speaker 1: Absolutely, we're going to go to a break. When we
- 35:16Speaker 1: come back, we'll look at what's making news in tomorrow's papers,
- 35:18Speaker 1: including all the fallout from Senator Payment's defection from the
- 35:21Speaker 1: Labor Party. That's in a moment welcome back.
- 35:26Speaker 3: Well.
- 35:26Speaker 1: Right now, people in the UK are currently voting in
- 35:29Speaker 1: their national election, So before we get to the Australian papers,
- 35:31Speaker 1: we thought we'd have a quick look at what the
- 35:33Speaker 1: UK papers are.
- 35:34Speaker 4: Saying is indeed first to the Sun. Their front splash reads,
- 35:38Speaker 4: as Britain goes to the polls, it's time for a
- 35:41Speaker 4: new manager.
- 35:43Speaker 5: And we don't mean.
- 35:44Speaker 4: Sacks Southgates because of course, if you're a Palm, everything's
- 35:47Speaker 4: about the soccer, or as they would say, no, no,
- 35:50Speaker 4: it's football. The Daily Mail Constituency by constituency, your tactical
- 35:57Speaker 4: voting guide, the big splash, vote forage, get them soaring taxes,
- 36:04Speaker 4: uncontrolled immigration with Rwanda scrapped, rampant wokerie, betrayal of women's rights,
- 36:11Speaker 4: net zero mania. We could offend surrender of our Brexit
- 36:15Speaker 4: freedoms and votes at sixteen to rig future elections. The
- 36:20Speaker 4: fighters on what's going to happen? I mean, we all
- 36:24Speaker 4: know it's going to be an absolute whitewash.
- 36:26Speaker 5: It's the end of the Conservatives.
- 36:28Speaker 4: After a fourteen year ruling and raining and UK isn't any.
- 36:33Speaker 5: Better because of it.
- 36:34Speaker 4: But to the front tip of times now Labor set
- 36:38Speaker 4: for biggest majority since eighteen thirty two. Yes, it is
- 36:43Speaker 4: going to be an absolute white.
- 36:46Speaker 2: Say in the top there my election night rinking game.
- 36:51Speaker 2: It's supposed to be page back up there. I assume
- 36:54Speaker 2: that's meant to be election night drinking game.
- 36:57Speaker 5: I think someone had had a few already rinking.
- 37:00Speaker 2: Sends your election night front page and it's he's rinking top.
- 37:05Speaker 4: There in the purple ladies and gentlemen. Someone's getting fired.
- 37:09Speaker 4: And lastly, Daily Express, today is the day of reckoning.
- 37:14Speaker 4: The Conservative Party faces punishing pounding at the ballot box.
- 37:19Speaker 4: We believe Labour's unjacked Powell would diminish this great country
- 37:23Speaker 4: of ours. Basically, I mean they're saying vote Tory, but
- 37:26Speaker 4: you're really want to vote reform UK, don't you go farage.
- 37:31Speaker 5: He's been doing really well in the polling. Nobody of
- 37:33Speaker 5: course thinks he's going to beat Labor. But last week.
- 37:37Speaker 4: Checked the polls, they were beating the Tories.
- 37:40Speaker 5: That's how quickly they shot ahead.
- 37:42Speaker 4: So hopefully, hopefully the UK with a Labor majority government will.
- 37:48Speaker 5: At least have a very strong opposition.
- 37:50Speaker 2: I reckon in about twenty four hours time, Rishie Sunak
- 37:53Speaker 2: is going to be on a private jit out of
- 37:55Speaker 2: the UK and he ain't coming.
- 37:56Speaker 3: Back for a long time.
- 37:58Speaker 2: Let's go to the koreat mail now where tomorrow, of
- 38:00Speaker 2: course it's got Bruce Lehman in a bit of trouble again.
- 38:03Speaker 2: But we'll live into one side this story below it
- 38:06Speaker 2: each miner worth a million dollars, Every mining and resource
- 38:10Speaker 2: worker is worth a million dollars each to the economy,
- 38:13Speaker 2: with the industry's productivity are staggering three times higher.
- 38:17Speaker 3: Than its nearest rival's real estate.
- 38:20Speaker 2: Now, look, some people would probably argue that real estate
- 38:24Speaker 2: agents are contributing some zero to.
- 38:28Speaker 3: The world in their work at the moment.
- 38:30Speaker 2: But it proves once again what a great virtuous thing
- 38:35Speaker 2: mining is for this country, what it does for the economy.
- 38:38Speaker 2: The backbone of our country is mining, and yet we
- 38:42Speaker 2: have so many people in power denigrating it. What are
- 38:45Speaker 2: they think is going to happen to this joint if
- 38:47Speaker 2: you get rid of Marning.
- 38:48Speaker 1: Well, I think yesterday the Career Mail ran on their
- 38:50Speaker 1: front page with the fact that it was at a
- 38:51Speaker 1: quarter of people who live in Brisbane are involved in
- 38:54Speaker 1: the Marning employed in the mining industry. So clearly the
- 38:57Speaker 1: Career Mail trying to point out to the government that
- 38:59Speaker 1: the mining industry is incredibly important needs to be protected
- 39:02Speaker 1: even as the Labor government do everything they can to
- 39:04Speaker 1: destroy it. Let's go to the front page of tomorrow's
- 39:07Speaker 1: Daily Telegraph. The story reads fly in, fly out activists
- 39:12Speaker 1: wreak havoc on industry blockade blow ins now. This refers
- 39:16Speaker 1: to the ten days of protests that have been taking
- 39:19Speaker 1: place in Newcastle trying to block the coal port. The
- 39:23Speaker 1: article details how twenty people have been arrested during those blockades,
- 39:30Speaker 1: but most of them are not from New South Wales.
- 39:33Speaker 1: Out of the twenty one people arrested, eight came from Victoria,
- 39:37Speaker 1: four from South Australia, three from Queensland, and one traveled
- 39:41Speaker 1: up from Tasmania to stop the coal trains at the
- 39:44Speaker 1: Newcastle port. So these activists can't even wrangle enough people
- 39:50Speaker 1: in Newcastle concerned about climate or even get them driving
- 39:54Speaker 1: up the highway from Sydney. They're flying them in from
- 39:56Speaker 1: all over the country to get arrested and prevent And
- 40:00Speaker 1: by the way, Miss South Wales produces two percent of
- 40:03Speaker 1: the world's coal, so they'd be better off getting on
- 40:06Speaker 1: a plane and flying to China, maybe protesting there, rather
- 40:09Speaker 1: they're newcast.
- 40:10Speaker 2: The only problem with flying to China is that it
- 40:11Speaker 2: creates too many emissions, so they couldn't possibly do that.
- 40:14Speaker 2: But that's the irony of what they're doing here right way,
- 40:17Speaker 2: order in order to go and protest the emissions created
- 40:21Speaker 2: by coal, they get presumably on a plane. I'm assuming
- 40:25Speaker 2: they didn't go by train, or even if they went
- 40:27Speaker 2: by car that's probably even worse as well. But they
- 40:29Speaker 2: have to get on a plane to fly to another
- 40:31Speaker 2: state to put out needless emission so they can go
- 40:33Speaker 2: and complain about the emissions.
- 40:35Speaker 3: Created by coal.
- 40:36Speaker 2: It proves what a noisy minority these pack of bastards are.
- 40:42Speaker 2: Because if you cannot I mean, what's the population of
- 40:45Speaker 2: New South Wales eight million or something? Right, If you
- 40:48Speaker 2: can't get twenty odd people to trundle up to Newcastle
- 40:51Speaker 2: to sit on a train line, you actually have to
- 40:54Speaker 2: ship them in from into state, you're in a spot
- 40:57Speaker 2: of bother buddy, how does that work?
- 40:59Speaker 4: I want to know who's hitting the bill because basically,
- 41:02Speaker 4: well we all know these guys don't have jobs, do they,
- 41:04Speaker 4: So where the money is coming from for them to
- 41:07Speaker 4: be basically professional protesters to the front page of the
- 41:10Speaker 4: Australia Now, gas shortfall expected to hit East Coast sooner
- 41:16Speaker 4: tell us.
- 41:17Speaker 5: Something we don't know.
- 41:18Speaker 4: The Competition Watchdog has brought forward its prediction of gas
- 41:23Speaker 4: shortfalls on the East Coast Market from twenty twenty eight
- 41:26Speaker 4: to twenty twenty seven, called for the urgent development of
- 41:30Speaker 4: new sources of supply and suggested the use of LNG
- 41:33Speaker 4: import terminals as.
- 41:35Speaker 5: A stop gap measure. We're slowly hearing these screens getting louder.
- 41:41Speaker 1: This reminds me of the whole Biden situation, where for
- 41:43Speaker 1: so long people were saying he's not meant to, he's
- 41:47Speaker 1: not in his right state, he's not his right stateues
- 41:49Speaker 1: and then finally it's there for everyone to see and
- 41:52Speaker 1: they say, oh, that's a problem. We've been hearing the
- 41:54Speaker 1: same thing about power up blackouts, gas shortages for the
- 41:58Speaker 1: last number of months, going on well over a year.
- 42:01Speaker 1: Eventually it's all going to come true. We're going to
- 42:03Speaker 1: have major problems. And then finally they're going to have
- 42:05Speaker 1: to admit they were aware and they failed to deal
- 42:07Speaker 1: with it.
- 42:08Speaker 2: But what's this business about import terminals. We produce a
- 42:13Speaker 2: shed load of gas in this cave. We mind, we
- 42:16Speaker 2: shedload of gas in this country out of the ground. Explain,
- 42:18Speaker 2: we keep something like two to three percent of it
- 42:20Speaker 2: for ourselves.
- 42:21Speaker 3: What do we need to import gas for? We've got
- 42:24Speaker 3: it all here. We just don't use it.
- 42:26Speaker 2: And last week, literally every single day there was another
- 42:30Speaker 2: story either from the Energy Market Operator or a state
- 42:35Speaker 2: government showing that there was a lack of energy, there
- 42:39Speaker 2: was a shortfall coming, and it was getting worse and
- 42:41Speaker 2: worse and worse.
- 42:43Speaker 3: And there was a report by the Energy Market Operator
- 42:46Speaker 3: that came out last.
- 42:47Speaker 2: Week that said very clearly, and it didn't include nuclear
- 42:51Speaker 2: in the report. It should be said, because of course
- 42:52Speaker 2: it's currently banned, so they can't.
- 42:54Speaker 3: Really work with that.
- 42:55Speaker 2: But if you want to go down this renewable energy dream,
- 43:00Speaker 2: you need reliable power to back it up. And guess
- 43:04Speaker 2: what it said that reliable power should be. Guess guess
- 43:09Speaker 2: the Energy Market Operator has told us we need more gas,
- 43:14Speaker 2: but no one is listening. And meanwhile Victoria is stopping
- 43:18Speaker 2: gas connections to people's houses if you've.
- 43:20Speaker 3: Got a new build.
- 43:22Speaker 2: Like, the energy policy is so all over the shop
- 43:24Speaker 2: in this country.
- 43:25Speaker 3: It's not funny.
- 43:27Speaker 4: Last, but not least on the front page of the OS,
- 43:30Speaker 4: citizenship revenge labor targets, rebel senior labor figures are raising
- 43:35Speaker 4: Fatima Payman's Afghan citizenship as a risk to her remaining
- 43:40Speaker 4: in the Senate because of a potential breach of section
- 43:43Speaker 4: forty four of the Constitution.
- 43:44Speaker 5: After she quit the ALP and left.
- 43:46Speaker 4: The door open to forming her own political party.
- 43:49Speaker 5: I was under the impression you.
- 43:51Speaker 4: Could not have a dual citizenship and fit in our
- 43:53Speaker 4: federal parliament. She should be gone on that basis.
- 43:56Speaker 1: Indeed, we're going to go to a break when we
- 43:58Speaker 1: come back. The Welsh Party deciding to ban any politicians
- 44:02Speaker 1: who lie. I wonder how that'll go. That's up in
- 44:04Speaker 1: a moment. Well, you'd know that old joke. How do
- 44:09Speaker 1: you know when a politician's lying his lips are moving?
- 44:13Speaker 1: Check out this headline from Wales. The Welsh government are
- 44:17Speaker 1: going to outlaw politicians who lie. Not the high ceilings.
- 44:22Speaker 1: We'll talk about that in a moment, but there's an article.
- 44:24Speaker 1: We'll have it up in a second. They are going
- 44:26Speaker 1: to get rid of there we go politicians who lie.
- 44:29Speaker 1: They'll be left with nobody in parliament. The Labor government
- 44:33Speaker 1: have said they will bring forward legislation before the next
- 44:36Speaker 1: election to disqualify members and candidates found guilty of deliberate deception.
- 44:41Speaker 1: And of course this will be done through an independent
- 44:44Speaker 1: judicial process. Can you imagine how long this process will
- 44:47Speaker 1: remain independent? Where they are able to disqualify any politician
- 44:52Speaker 1: found guilty of misinformation or disinformation. And notice the Labor
- 44:56Speaker 1: government facing an election, they're bringing this law in just
- 45:00Speaker 1: in time for the election so they can properly vet
- 45:03Speaker 1: all of their opposition.
- 45:04Speaker 4: But I love it because it gives their MPs fourteen
- 45:07Speaker 4: days to withdraw.
- 45:08Speaker 1: No, that was the old legislation.
- 45:10Speaker 5: They don't have that anymore.
- 45:12Speaker 1: No, no, no, they couldn't agree on that, so they've
- 45:14Speaker 1: ditched that. If you're found guilty of lying, you're out.
- 45:16Speaker 5: Oh my god. Better.
- 45:18Speaker 2: I mean, look, it does have holes in it because
- 45:21Speaker 2: of course someone has to make a value judgment.
- 45:24Speaker 1: You know they're telling the truth.
- 45:25Speaker 3: But I am so sympathetic to the idea.
- 45:28Speaker 2: I just love the idea that politicians could be punished
- 45:31Speaker 2: for lying. Now I suppose there is an argument that
- 45:34Speaker 2: you get punished at the ballot box. We ultimately get
- 45:37Speaker 2: to make the decision anyway about who we do or
- 45:40Speaker 2: do not want.
- 45:41Speaker 3: But I just love the.
- 45:42Speaker 2: Idea of people being held accountable because it just happens too.
- 45:46Speaker 3: Little called the ballot box.
- 45:48Speaker 4: You hold the enough people, especially all these are paying attention,
- 45:53Speaker 4: they don't. They don't hold people accounted. That's why media
- 45:56Speaker 4: are so important holding governments, speak to.
- 45:58Speaker 5: The phone courage.
- 46:00Speaker 4: H is just busy living their life, putting food on
- 46:03Speaker 4: the table, working their nine to five usually.
- 46:05Speaker 5: More these days, and a living I want I want them.
- 46:08Speaker 3: Hauled over the colls very quickly before we go.
- 46:11Speaker 2: Sometimes I read studies out of universities and like who
- 46:14Speaker 2: had the idea to study this thing?
- 46:16Speaker 3: And I had one of these moments today.
- 46:18Speaker 2: When it was found out by the University of South
- 46:21Speaker 2: Australia and Deacon University that students who do their exams
- 46:25Speaker 2: in rooms with higher ceilings have worse exam results. They
- 46:29Speaker 2: looked at fifteen thousand, four one hundred students between twenty
- 46:33Speaker 2: eleven and twenty nineteen, and even when they took into
- 46:36Speaker 2: account age six time of year they set the exams,
- 46:39Speaker 2: the whole thing consistently, students who did their exams in
- 46:43Speaker 2: rooms with higher ceilings had worse results.
- 46:46Speaker 3: Explain that one to me.
- 46:48Speaker 1: That was an amazing thing. They couldn't explain. They counted
- 46:50Speaker 1: direct correlation, but no explanation.
- 46:54Speaker 3: I want a lot of.
- 46:55Speaker 5: People now being like, well that explains my exam.
- 46:58Speaker 1: We got to go, but stick around coming up in
- 47:00Speaker 1: just a moment. It's the reader Penney Show,
