  Speaker 1: Is the bold perform it.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Tonight I'll talk to the singer canceled for wearing a
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump cat. The backlash just got very personal. And
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: how dangerous are all these wind turbines out Bush? With
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: summer coming? Well, so tonight why raise politics is a
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: threat to democracy? Mary? Politicians threaten other MPs in New
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Zealand's Parliament with a war dance after losing a vote.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Plasinite is stunning insight from a top general who's talked
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: to Donald Trump. And as a warning to Vladimir Putin,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: do not believe all the media stories. Do not count
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: on Trump helping you to win in Ukraine. You will
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: not know what Donald Trump will unleash on the world
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: until you hear this. But first, the brawl over can
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: and Rudd today became dangerous for US Sky News for
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: all the Murdock media. Not so good for the rest
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: of the country either. Not enough people know how difficult
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: and dangerous has become to be conservatives in the media,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: or was in danger of being banned or censored put
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: out a business by politicians and judges. Well we got
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: reminded today. As I said last night, it is a
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: no brainer that Kevin Rudd should no longer be our
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: ambassador Washington, not if we want our best salesman, someone
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: who understands and can negotiate well with the incoming president
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump and his team. After all, Rudd is the ambassador,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: didn't see Trump's been coming and didn't delete until last
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: week social media posts calling Trump a traitor to the
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: West and the most destructive president in history. And then
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: there's his other attacks. Trump is nuts, the village idiot.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Now the excuses I keep hearing for him obviously don't wash.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, oh, he's recanted on his opinions on Trump. No,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: he hasn't. He simply deleted them. Oh but other people
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: said worse about Trump and he's forgiven them, like as
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: vice president. Yes, but they said they've changed their mind.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Rudd has not. And so today we get the attacks
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: then on the Murdoch media, especially scarting. You just pointing
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: out the bleeding obvious. Here's Assistant Trade Minister Tim Airs,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: a member of the Prime Minister's socialist left faction.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of noise coming from some Australian media
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: organizations on this question. With the greatest respect Tolly to
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: your organization and others. The Austrainian government, not foreign owned
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: cable TV networks, the Australian government on behalf of Australian
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: INSTITUTEES who is Australian's ambassador of the United States for one.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: That's just add hominem abuse. You know, Oh, we're foreign owned,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: but we've got no right to speak well to Tim Airs,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I will say this, My views are my views. I
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: was born here, I've lived in this country for damn
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: more years than you have. And my boss at Sky
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: News Australian. His boss is an Australian, and that man's boss,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Robert Thompson is also Australian, as is the boss of
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: us all. Lachlan Murdock, Well, he bleeds Australian sadly for him,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: he was born in America. Is probably watching the show
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: right now from his home in Sydney. Was it in London? Wherever?
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: London and every one of us wants only the best
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: for this country. Now, if you're so worried about foreign influence,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: tem how about your socialist left faction. That wokeness that
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: it has is what's tearing this country apart. That's the
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: real foreign influence. Your faction imported, its toxic identity politics
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: from the US. It imported our ruinous global warming targets
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: from the United Nations. It imported its device in multiculturalism
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: from Canada, and now it's selling out our values. Our
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: relationship with Israel to pander to voters in Sydney imported
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: largely from the Middle East. Tim, you are the last
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: person to talk about foreign influences. But to the other
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: half of as ludicrous argument, the one parroted by former
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: premis and Malcolm Turnbull, who blames Rupert Murder for him
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: being so hopeless as promise that his own party sacked him.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: He now accuses of taking revenge against Rudd. Revengeful. What
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: he says, this is a campaign that News Call kicked
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: off and they are running a vendetta. And the answer
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: to that is obvious.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Blames studies on News Corp for bringing out these old comments.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: So do you think that it's to me?
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: It's that I think people take responsibility for their own comments,
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: and where you've made comments, then you have to own
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: them and have to explain them.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: And that's an issue for mister Albert easy to explain. Yes,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: we should blame Kevin Rudd most this crisis for simply
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: opening his big mouth and abusing Trump so childishly and ignorantly.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: And what really blew it up was not us but
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump himself and his people, including his daughter in
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: law Lara, head of the Republican National Convention, wondering why
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Kevin Rudd was still there. I heard he was a
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: little bit nasty.
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: I hear he's not the Bright's bulb.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Another Trump officials weighed in. His former White House spokesman
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Sean Spicer, thought Rud should quit. And the man Trump
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: is just appointed as Deputy White House Chief of Staff
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: even he mocked Kevin Rudd by posting his rud statement
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: about deleting his anti Trump tweets and then adding a
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: gift of an hourglass with the sands running out. And
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: not one of those people are Murdoch employees. Oh so
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: should we in the wicked Murdock camp by and not
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: have reported what they think about Donald Trump's They stayed
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: stun to help him out. He would get to the three.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: And this is the implicit threat we have in this
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: labor government, an enemy of free speech. You know that
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: it even wants a new misinformation law so called to
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: stop you from saying what It's government pointed officials reckons
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: is wrong and Labour has a record of trying to
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: sense of the Murdock media, threatened it under the Gillar government.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Now it's got the Greens wanting to wanting it to
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: try again with this Misinformation Bill. He's the Greens Co
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Deputy leader this morning.
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: Interestingly, this bill doesn't seek to cover people like the
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: Murdoch Press, and we know there's an awful lot of
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: misinformation in that, in those outlets, and so we will
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: be working with the government to try to fix that.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Now Laborer isn't doing that yet, but who knows what
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: it will do to please the Greens after the next
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: election if it needs their votes to stay in government. Now,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: why are these attacks, all these attacks on the Murdoch
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: media and Skye News particularly, it's kind of nothing to
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: do with the misinformation. You want misinformation, go to the ABC.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: We're just one of the very few media organizations left
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: in this country which still aires conservative commentators like me,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: like Peter, like Chris. The ABC, though not one conservative
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: hosting a news or current affairs show. The Aged newspaper,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: not one conservative columnist. The Sidney Morning Herald the same,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: The Garden Australia, the same cracky, the same on and
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: on and on. So if they can muzzle us, conservatives
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: in this country virtually silenced. And that's why some in
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: our organization, I have to say, are worried that we
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: are going to be blamed for Rudd's four. In fact,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Rudd is used to head an organization demanding the government
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: crack down on us on the Murdoch Media.
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: Sky News now has the biggest a presence in terms
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: of its digital presence right across the country. The fact
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: that its YouTube channel is growing exponentially, far bigger than
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: what you see from frankly the public broadcasters. We will
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: cross a threshold soon where average Australians, working families say
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: enough is enough. Australian for a Modock Royal Commissioner is
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: growing in its membership every day.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: In fact, what's growing is our audience a lot because
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: you value debate, You trust this, You actually pay to
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: hear us where you could get us someone else for
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: free on the ABC. That's trust. But you look at labor,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Labor is wanting, is tempted to deny you that choice.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: The Greens are gagging for censorship of Sky. So really,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: in a way, I really shouldn't be calling for Kevin
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: rud to quit. It's note of my interests. I mean,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: he would just probably came back here and go once
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: more from ABC Studio to ABC studio, demanding the Labor
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: government whip us into line. No, it's not in our
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: interests to say that Rudh would quit as ambassador, but
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: it is in Australia's our US President Joe Barden's just
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: exposed the big lie we heard during the election campaign
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: that oh, Donald Trump would be a dictator, a hitler.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: How often did the kame Ala Harris campaign say that?
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: How often did the media left claim it too? But
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: when Biden met Trump at the White House, over nods,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: all smiles and handshakes, with Trump almost offering an apology
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: to Baden for attacking him during the campaign, it was
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: all a good humor all around.
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: Graduation and looking forward to Hon' make me serve school
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: of transition toever we can make sure you're a comedy once.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: You need to get a chance to idcross.
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: To welcome jan Thank you very much. And politics is tough,
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: and it's mad cases not a very nice world. But
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: it is a nice world today and they appreciate very
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: much a transition that's so smooth. It'll be as smooth
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: as it can get. And I very much appreciate.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: That joy you are. Ye.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Biden could hardly have looked happier. It's almost like he
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: liked Kamala Harris losing anyway, But it's not the welcome
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: that a Democrat president would give to a hitler? Is
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: it to a dictator? Joining me? Is Thursday regular Barnaby
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Joyce the Nationals Front venture of former difficuty Prime Minutes
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: that Barnaby? I mean? Is Kevin Rudd seriously the best
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: person to be our ambassador to Washington? After the calling
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: the incoming president crazy nuts and the village idiots? Shouldn't
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: he be replaced by someone who Trump would at least respect?
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Oh well, the.
• 10:57
  Speaker 9: Value judgment of mister Albeneasy. He is a remarkable insight
• 11:02
  Speaker 9: that he has into global politics. I think the question
• 11:05
  Speaker 9: that mister right Kevin to be quite frank and get
• 11:10
  Speaker 9: along with him on one on one, but he's got
• 11:12
  Speaker 9: to be honest with himself.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: As I've said before, are you.
• 11:16
  Speaker 9: Able, Kevin to pick up the phone and get onto
• 11:18
  Speaker 9: the people who matter? Are you going to be able
• 11:19
  Speaker 9: to get onto Marco Rubio. Are you going to be
• 11:21
  Speaker 9: able to get onto to Donald Trump's private secretary? Are
• 11:25
  Speaker 9: you going to get access to the Capitol. Is the
• 11:28
  Speaker 9: President some stage going to say, as I've said before,
• 11:31
  Speaker 9: come on in, Kevin, sit down and have an ice
• 11:34
  Speaker 9: vovo and a cup of hot chocolate. Or are you
• 11:37
  Speaker 9: just going to be sort of down at the embassy
• 11:38
  Speaker 9: meeting rats and mice of the of lesser influence from
• 11:43
  Speaker 9: around Washington, which is no use to Australia and Kevin.
• 11:46
  Speaker 9: If you think that's going to be the case, then
• 11:48
  Speaker 9: you know you have to do You have to get
• 11:50
  Speaker 9: out and give the job somebody else.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm tempted, Barnaby. I know this will cause conniptions.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Americans they often put very well connected business people as
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: their ambassador, right, I'm thinking Gina rein Hart. You know,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: she was actually so close to Donald Trump. She was
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: at the Mara Lago party at his house. But you're
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: dropping out and maybe that's a good thing. Hold on,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Oh gosh, well, I think Gina Renhard, Well, Gina Reinhard
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: actually was close enough to Trump and she did all right.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: She could be doing all right.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: For us anyway. I was sure by the way, let
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: me switch to something else while Barnaby is trying to
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: figure out how to resume communications. I was sure the
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Australians last year voted against the viting us by Race.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you did too. Victoria's labor government, though, is
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: moving fast through a partheart. It already has its own
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: voice at first People's Assembly, a kind of average will
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: only advisory Parliament elected by just ten percent of Victorian
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: adults identifying as Aboriginal. And last week this government, well
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: or next week rather, this government is going to start
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: negotiating in secret a treaty with bonding clauses like an
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: enterprise bargaining agreement.
• 13:22
  Speaker 10: Any reasonable person can understand that these will be negotiations
• 13:26
  Speaker 10: that will be held in a respectful way, a confidential way.
• 13:30
  Speaker 10: You could compare it to ABA negotiations, and that is
• 13:33
  Speaker 10: the parties bring their log of claims to the table,
• 13:37
  Speaker 10: they negotiate it through and they come up with an
• 13:40
  Speaker 10: outcome that is binding and it will be certified and
• 13:44
  Speaker 10: binded by the Parliament of Victoria.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Bunnaby Joyce the Victorian government secretly negotiating from next week
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: a treaty with people identifying as Aborigine as Aborigines. What
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: do you make of this?
• 14:03
  Speaker 9: The first question I'd ask Andrew is did they recognize
• 14:07
  Speaker 9: that we've kind of had a referendum on this, and
• 14:11
  Speaker 9: even Victoria they don't support it.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Why don't they listen?
• 14:15
  Speaker 9: Why do you get this sort of this left wing
• 14:17
  Speaker 9: cabal that never accepts the word no, that just can't
• 14:23
  Speaker 9: move on, that says, oh, well, the world is ill informed,
• 14:26
  Speaker 9: they're ignorant, they're bumpkins, they're the fools, and they need
• 14:31
  Speaker 9: to be ruled up. That's what the left always do,
• 14:33
  Speaker 9: the primacy of the state of the individual, not believe
• 14:36
  Speaker 9: in the individuals right when they've said no, but they're
• 14:38
  Speaker 9: going to do it to you anyway, because they just
• 14:40
  Speaker 9: think that that's what should happen to the ignorant, senseless masses.
• 14:44
  Speaker 9: They are to be walked on and controlled and here
• 14:47
  Speaker 9: comes your treaty and here comes the problems with it.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I think it's just so shocking racial division. Even in
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Victoria the Voice referendum was defeated, and yet this still
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: going ahead with this nonsense. Don'tbe just quickly a shocking
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: stab in the back for Israel, a shocking reward for
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: slaughtering Jews on October seven, the Albedize government shift to
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: destroyers vote in the you in to recognize the quote
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: permanent sovereignty of Palestine is over the so called occupied territories,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: including the Golan Heights and even East Jerusalem, giving away
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: land that Israel holds and some of which it says
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: it's critical for its security. And this when there is
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: no Palastinine government that isn't led but terrorists or isn't
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: funding terrorists. Your response, well, who they get?
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 15:38
  Speaker 9: They believe that they're just going to sort of move
• 15:41
  Speaker 9: ahead with what a terrorist organization administering a piece of land.
• 15:48
  Speaker 9: When did they come to the conclusion that that was
• 15:50
  Speaker 9: good for anybody? Hamas is a terrorist organization. Has Belah,
• 15:54
  Speaker 9: which would take out of the goal on heights is
• 15:56
  Speaker 9: a terrorist organization. I mean, this is this is how
• 16:01
  Speaker 9: disconnected from the reality. Do they believe what they did
• 16:05
  Speaker 9: in any way and even in an iota is going
• 16:07
  Speaker 9: to bring about peace, which was what everybody wants. But
• 16:10
  Speaker 9: you can only get reasonable negotiations between peaceful parties. And
• 16:17
  Speaker 9: what you have now is a terrorist organization that's made
• 16:21
  Speaker 9: it their goal to remove to remove Israel from the map.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: That's what they want to do.
• 16:26
  Speaker 9: You can't negotiate with them.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: And it's a direct consequence of Hamas actually slaughtering twelve
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: hundred Jews. And this is the reward. I mean, it's
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: just insane. Bannaby Joyce, thank you so much for your time.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: I said, look, this is an interview, a pre recorded
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: you've got this is just so important. This is stuff
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: that you will not have heard anywhere else. I said.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: The first people that Donald Trump picked for his new administration,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: we're very tough, strong and securing America's board. It's strong
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: and defending Israel. They'll be horrified by what Australia's just done.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: But some of these lightest picks, I'm going to say
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: spilled trouble. Certainly don't mean Senator MARKA. Rubia, who Trump
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: is now confirmed will be a security state. His top
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: people met Rubia is good experience, a lot of it
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: in foreign aface, tough on China, on Iran, and on
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: the defense of Israel. On the contrary, I want you
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: guys to get this.
• 17:22
  Speaker 8: I want them to destroy every element of Hamas they
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: can get their hands on. These people are vicious animals
• 17:27
  Speaker 8: who did horrifying crimes, and I hope you guys post
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: that what about civilians?
• 17:33
  Speaker 11: Every day?
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: Hamas stopped hiding behind civilians, putting civilians on the way.
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: Hamas knew that this was going to lead to this,
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: So Hamas has stopped building their military installations underneath hospital.
• 17:42
  Speaker 10: So you don't care the fifteen thousand die, you don't
• 17:45
  Speaker 10: care about the babies that.
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: Are I think it's terrible, and I think Hamas is
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: one hundred percent to blame.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: That's what I think.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Make sure you post that.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Please. He's good and I think he's really going to
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: be disgusted with what the Abenezi government has just done
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: in the UN. But then there's yes, I got to
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: say this. Tulsa Gabbard is going to be Trump's Director
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: of National Intelligence, overseeing the National Spy Agency. What a worry?
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: What to worry overseeing all those agencies. Gabbart once run,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: ran for the Democrat nomination for president and then switched
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: to Trump. But seems a conspiracy nut. I mean, she
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: met Suming dictator baschil Asad and swallowed his line that
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: he wasn't bombing his own people. Yes he was, And
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: she pushed a Kremlin backed conspiracy theory that Ukraine was
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: developing American backed biological weapons laboratories. Trump has also picked
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Matt Gates as his Attorney general. Now he is a
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: populous blow hard congressman with Beauffan Hare, who is still
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: being investigated by the House Ethics Committee overclaims of engaging
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: sexual conduct with the underage girl elicit druggis more. Oh,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: I'm innocence's Gates, and true, the FBI had dropped its
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: own investigation. But that guy, he smells, and yet he
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: is now going to be the top legal official in
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: the US despite having little legal exp is after getting
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: this law degree. I reckon they're going to struggle those
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: two to get centered approval for their jobs. But but
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: more important for the world is Trump's because Defense secretary.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: He's overseeing the world's mightiest military. And Trump has picked
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Fox News host Pete Hesth, who retired as just the
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: captain in the National Guard, and his main agenda seems
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: to be to get rid of woke diversity equity inclusion
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: policies in the US military of no women in combat
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: roles for.
• 19:31
  Speaker 12: Instance, Well, first of all, you gotta fire, you know,
• 19:35
  Speaker 12: you got to fire the Chairman of Joint Chiefs, And
• 19:37
  Speaker 12: you got to fire this. I mean, obviously gonn bring
• 19:39
  Speaker 12: in a new Secretary of Defense, but any general that
• 19:41
  Speaker 12: was involved, general, admiral, whatever, that was involved in any
• 19:43
  Speaker 12: of the DEI woke shit, it's.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Got to go.
• 19:47
  Speaker 12: Either you're in for war fighting that and that's it.
• 19:50
  Speaker 12: That's the only litmus tests we care about.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Uh, you've got to get DEI.
• 19:54
  Speaker 12: And cert out of military academies so you're not training
• 19:56
  Speaker 12: young officers to be baptized in this type of thinking.
• 19:59
  Speaker 12: H And then you know, whatever the standards, whatever the
• 20:02
  Speaker 12: combat standards were saying, I don't know nineteen ninety five,
• 20:05
  Speaker 12: let's just make those standards. And as far as recruiting
• 20:08
  Speaker 12: to hire the guy that you know did top gun
• 20:10
  Speaker 12: Maverick and create some real ads that motivate people that want.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: To serve, well, okay, Well, joining me is General Jack Keane.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: It was fat chief staffter the United States Army and
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: full star General. Donald Trump asked him twice in his
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: first time as president to be the Defense Secretary, but
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: for tragic personal reasons, you had to refuse. He is
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: now Chairman of the Institute for the Study of War.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: General Keen, it's great to see you, particularly after these
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: amazing week or two, this last week or two, Pete Hegseth.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Let's start with him. Is this the man the US
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: needs to oversee its military forces?
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: Hexas has considerably less experience than anyone I'm familiar with
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: who had that position. But some of the things we
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: have to recognize. One is educated here in America. He
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: went to two of our top schools, Princeton for undergraduate
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: and Harvard for graduate work. He does have a very
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: good feel for the general challenges that are facing the
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: United States from our adversaries, and certainly what's facing the
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Defense Department.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: But the issue really.
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: Is his lack of experience, and so he has no
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: relationship with our international allies and partners other than being
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: in Iraq and Afghanistan. And I should note he is
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: a combat veteran, was a captain in our National Guard.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: The other thing is.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: He doesn't have any experience in policy formulation or understanding
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: of how the DOT functions. And finally, he has no
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: relationship with the Congress, who is very much a part
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: a Department of Defense here in the United States being successful.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: So what I have decided to do as man, he'll
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: be confirmed. I am trying to put together the most
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: effective team that's experienced, has proven capabilities to compensate for
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: peace lack of experience dealing with the major issues that
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: the Defense Department does well.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: It's a very daunting assessment. There has been talked about
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: this body of former generals or military experts to have
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: a look at who should be promoted and who should
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: not within the military and advisor are you talking about?
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Is that what you're talking about? Are you going to
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: be part of that?
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: No?
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: And I totally disagree with this, this focus on wokeism.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: A policy we call diversity, equity and inclusion, and the
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: thought that that is to detracted our forces from properly
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: training and readiness, and also that there's a number of
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: incompetent generals out there. That is a very exaggerated issue
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: in my mind. I'm not suggesting there isn't some of
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: it there, but it is so easy to correct Andrew
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: on day one, they can do the opposite of what
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: President Biden did. He came into office issued in the
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: Executive Office or of the first week that everybody had
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: to establish a diversity, Equity and Inclusion office and people
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: to run it at all levels throughout the entire federal government.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Trump comes in.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: Reverses that executive order, and I guarantee you the Defense
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: Department will have that extinguished and be fully completed in
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: no time whatsoever.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: From what you are seeing this new Trump administration, what
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: do you expect it to do about this Third World
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: War that we're facing, where you've got Russia, China, Iran,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: North Korea all helping each other, whether it's the invasion
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: of Ukraine, attacking Israel, backing China's claims to Taiwan. What
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: direction are you seeing we.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: Are in my judgment of pre war era, And I
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: mean that these four countries that you name are collaborating,
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: coordinating together under mine in the United States and like
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: minded democracy so they can influence and take control of
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: the world. And I become considerably more aggressive and assertive
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: these last four years. And the reason is they believe
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: American leadership is weak and believe American leadership.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Doesn't have the political will to confronted. President Trump.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: By being elected last Tuesday, has already forced all four
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: of those countries to reassess. President Trump, I believe, very
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: quickly on the international stage, will set a framework that
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: he is not going to tolerate this continued aggressiveness and
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: assertiveness undermine in the United States and I like minded democracies.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: Right away, we begin to reset the table and start
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: to establish some determs.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: I totally hear you on that point. I think this
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: spot on, except it runs at variance with Trump also
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: suggesting that America will not be participating in any wars,
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: which that cuts away from the deterrence. Now, Russian President
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Vladimir Putin, he's done exactly what you've just said, is
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: reassessed that decided that Trump will try to win the
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: war in Ukraine when he's sworn in as president in
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: two months time, and seems to have quickly stepped up
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: his attack to force out Ukrainian troops and the bit
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: of Russia they have taken over around Kursk. Now he's
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: worried that Trump is going to say, whatever territory you've got, guys,
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: that's what you're going to keep. But you still well,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: now he's so desperate Putin that it's going to soldiers
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: attacking and virtual human ways getting blown up in enormous
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: numbers and cours. Last Sunday, nearly two thousand Russian and
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: North Korean soldiers killed the wound in a single day.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Where do you think this is going to go?
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Here's what the issue is.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: Putin that President Trump will be dealing with four years
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: later than the Putin.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: He was dealing with is very different.
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: He is a wartime commander and he's got his economy
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: on a war footing. I want the administration to understand
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: that they're not neutral in having Russia and Ukraine negotiating
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: work on a deal. We have a complete bias for Ukraine,
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: who was invaded by a thug and a killer who
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: wants to take over that country and has killed tens
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: of thousands of innocent Savilians and sixty seventy thousand Ukrainian
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: people who are fighting in the war, and has taken
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: and kidnapped some third twenty thousand children that are now
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: being raised in Russia. How horrific is that? And committed atrocities.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: This is what we're dealing with. We're not neutral. Workout
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: a deal that's favorable to Ukraine and forced Russia to
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: take that deal. That is what I think has to happen,
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: and I think it is likely to happen.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: You know you have really respect for your views, but
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: I also know that President Trump respects you. He is
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: twice asked you to be secretary of Defense. He's giving
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: you the presidential middle of the Freedom. You've talked to
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: him at length about what needs to happen. The analysis
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: you've just given is very different to the one that
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: is Some of in his camp are saying, particularly idiots
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: like Tucker Carlson and also his son Don Jr. Are
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: you going to advise him? Are you advising him? Will
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: he listen to your point of view?
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: I will advise him as much as he wants. I'm
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: somewhat optimistic about it because one thing I've noticed about
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: President Trump.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: He has a viewpoint. He's tough vinded.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: About it, but if you give him different or new information,
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: he's quite coachable.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: I have a direct issue with this.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: He pulled out a Syria and the Secretary of Defense
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: resigned over it. I had a discussion with him over it.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: I put a map in front of him. I got through,
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: gave him some details. He said, Okay, I got it.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: I got it.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: General Kean, I asked the Vice president, is that a reversal?
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: And he said, congratulations, General, that's a reversal. So he's
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: coachable and responds to new information. As a president of
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: the United States should do.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much for that great insight. Really appreciate
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: your time.
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, always great talking to you Andrew and your audience
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: as well.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: General Keen also pointed out to me that Trumps up
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: in getting intelligence briefings during the camp. He was entitled
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: to them, didn't get them. He reckons that once Trump
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: sees tho's intelligence briefings now as president, he'll see stuff
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: that's going to change his mind. So watch out for this.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: After the break, I talked to the singer cancel for
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: wearing a Donald Trump cap. It's just got a little
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: willing some of the criticisms now of her very personal
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: not so much for the tolerance of the tolerant left
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: and the compassion of compassionate artists. Melbourne singer songwriter Hailey
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Mary of the ARIA Award winning band The Jezebels has
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: been canceled for wearing a MAGA cap, a Trump Make
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: America Great Again cap. Now, Mary was actually doing it
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: to protest against our government's misinformation bill to defend free speech,
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: and ironically she's now got punished for her own. Her
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: publicist resigned at music venue scrapped a show to promote
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: her solo album. Now bandmates from the Jezebels themselves are
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: publicly's owned as saying all the language of the far
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: right and see through the grotesque attempts to moralize on
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: free speech. The struggle continues with Loving to Spare but
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: Hope Heaven, Nick and Sam Hailey. Mary joins me. Now, Hetty,
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: you've gone through a pretty tough initiation into what it
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: means to speak your mind about these things and stand
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: up for free speech. How tough has it been? What's
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: it cost you?
• 30:26
  Speaker 13: Well?
• 30:26
  Speaker 14: Hi, Hi, thanks for having me. By the way, Andrew,
• 30:29
  Speaker 14: It's an interesting one because it might look tough from
• 30:32
  Speaker 14: the outside, but my cancelation process is quite unique in
• 30:36
  Speaker 14: the sense that I did it to myself on purpose
• 30:39
  Speaker 14: to make multiple points, so I was very aware of
• 30:44
  Speaker 14: what was going to happen, and I went through all
• 30:46
  Speaker 14: the people I knew and how I thought they might
• 30:49
  Speaker 14: react to it before I did it, and they have
• 30:51
  Speaker 14: reacted exactly as I would suspect and how one might
• 30:55
  Speaker 14: suspect in a cancelation process. But it's not as tough
• 30:59
  Speaker 14: on me as I think it is on everyone else
• 31:00
  Speaker 14: who has ever been canceled when they've done it accidentally
• 31:04
  Speaker 14: to themselves or been misunderstood. So I'm actually doing quite well.
• 31:09
  Speaker 14: But yes, it is everything you could imagine it is.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: It's a great way of, you know, simplifying your private
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: life and cleaning up your contact book. I guess, how's
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: it all divided? You know, family friends in the industry.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:26
  Speaker 14: No, it's a really good way of shedding the people
• 31:29
  Speaker 14: who aren't really good friends, I suppose.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:32
  Speaker 14: Look, I think it was a shock because, as you
• 31:35
  Speaker 14: probably know, most musicians maybe all musicians, I don't know,
• 31:40
  Speaker 14: but most musicians move in very liberal, woke circles, that
• 31:43
  Speaker 14: the industry is very woke. And not only was I
• 31:46
  Speaker 14: trying to make a point about the Missive Information Bill,
• 31:50
  Speaker 14: but I also was trying to make a point about
• 31:52
  Speaker 14: cancel culture and the music industry and the fact that
• 31:55
  Speaker 14: you couldn't wear a Maga hat, even though a lot
• 31:58
  Speaker 14: of people like him and is the leader of the
• 32:01
  Speaker 14: free world, you couldn't wear that in our industry, in
• 32:04
  Speaker 14: most of the arts without having your career ruined. So
• 32:07
  Speaker 14: everyone I know pretty much disapproves, apart from a few
• 32:13
  Speaker 14: very close people, and I've had a few people reaching out,
• 32:17
  Speaker 14: but a lot of strangers, A lot of strangers are
• 32:20
  Speaker 14: reaching out, And now as the days go on, quite
• 32:23
  Speaker 14: a few other musicians are starting to reach out privately
• 32:26
  Speaker 14: of course and say thank you, I'm really glad to
• 32:29
  Speaker 14: doing this, please keep going, But publicly, of course, I
• 32:36
  Speaker 14: am done in the music industry.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you've come to rely on the kindness of strangers.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: It sounds rather familiar. But is it really worth sacrificing
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: your career?
• 32:49
  Speaker 14: Well, I think if you look at it's twofold. I
• 32:53
  Speaker 14: think that I'm an artist, so I believe in freedom
• 32:56
  Speaker 14: expression to quite an extreme extent, and have lived in
• 33:01
  Speaker 14: cancel culture and with cancel culture like the rest of
• 33:03
  Speaker 14: us for the last ten years, and I'm finding it's
• 33:07
  Speaker 14: reaching a pinnacle that it's actually just removing the passion
• 33:11
  Speaker 14: out of the arts for me, in the fact that
• 33:14
  Speaker 14: I think the wokeness has captured every part of our
• 33:19
  Speaker 14: industry and to the point where you cannot have a
• 33:21
  Speaker 14: different opinion. And it's not so much that I don't
• 33:25
  Speaker 14: agree with some of the woke ideology, it's just that
• 33:28
  Speaker 14: the limitation of Actually I don't agree with a lot
• 33:32
  Speaker 14: of it, but the limitation of it is what's stifling.
• 33:36
  Speaker 14: So I guess, so I forget the question because I
• 33:41
  Speaker 14: went on a round about wokeness and it's a whole
• 33:43
  Speaker 14: new world.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: You've answered it anyway, I tell you both. Boy, I've
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: got to say, Haley, you know, I've often thought, having
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: been in purgatory for so long myself. I mean once,
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: despite having once twice word for labor, one of the
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: great punishments of being in woke circles was, you know,
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: of the work, was that they had to talk to
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: each other. I couldn't think of anything were So there
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: is that gain, right, you can enjoy your solitude or
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: a bit strange of friends.
• 34:10
  Speaker 14: Oh yeah, your question of whether it's worth it, I
• 34:13
  Speaker 14: suppose yes it is because I think I've been perceiving
• 34:16
  Speaker 14: that there's a great divide between the industry and everyone else,
• 34:20
  Speaker 14: or a hell of a lot of the population. Like,
• 34:22
  Speaker 14: for example, I wouldn't be allowed to talk to you
• 34:25
  Speaker 14: if I wanted to maintain my career, I couldn't come
• 34:27
  Speaker 14: on this show. I know people who are dating conservatives
• 34:31
  Speaker 14: who work in the music industry, and they keep their
• 34:33
  Speaker 14: relationship a secret because they're afraid of losing their job.
• 34:37
  Speaker 14: Their friends. Like, there's actually quite a bad sort of
• 34:41
  Speaker 14: all welling in. You know, you're forced to defriend people
• 34:45
  Speaker 14: if they have the wrong opinions different. You know, your
• 34:48
  Speaker 14: family sometimes turn against you. It's that kind of I
• 34:52
  Speaker 14: think it's really damaging to society and I wanted to
• 34:54
  Speaker 14: break out of it, from an industry that's captured by.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: Well, you're liberated, Hailey, Mary, you you are liberated. Now
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: let me talk you dare speak.
• 35:06
  Speaker 14: It's very grateful that bill, the bill is the main.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: I'm very grateful you came on the show, Hailey. I'm
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: very grateful and wish the best and let us know
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: what viewers can do to support your next career or
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: continue your career. Thank you so much for your time
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: after the break. All these wind turbines out bush, are
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: they really safe? With summer? Cunning Now? Wind farms are
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: usually sold to us are so wholy, so good that
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: problems with them swept under the carpet. This week, a
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: worker was killed at the Golden Planes wind farm in
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: Victoria when a giant blady was helping to install fell over.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: And obviously that tragedy was a one off, an accident,
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: but then locals reminder reporters that serrated blade parts have
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: been flying off wind turbines and on to neighboring properties
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: are in this very same wind farm, and they've been
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: told to wear personal protective equipment within four hundred meters
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: of those turbines that I've been told that's been fixed
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: as well. But as we come to summer, I still
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: worry about something else, and not just that these wind
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: farms chop up birds. There's the fire risk now, one
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: of course, is that there's all these extra power lines
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: that we now need to join up all these wind
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: factories all around the countryside. Clashing wires are of course
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: the fire risk, and the more wires you have, there's
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: also the more risk that can be blown over, which
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: could trip the whole systems. Victoria found in February with
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: a massive blackout. But the fire risks from the wind
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: turbines themselves. We're told this risk is very low, but
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: with so many of them, a very low risk in
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: one turbine becomes too much for comfort. With a lot
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: important Victoria, one turbine burst into flames in February. There
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: was one in red Hill, South Australia, the course of
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: fire that costs more than two million dollars in Golden
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: last year New South Wales, another turbine caught far and
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: yet another at Cathedral Rocks that year, South Australia. The
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: second fire, by the way, at the same wind farm.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Joining me is electricity engineer Ben Beatty, host of the
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Baseload Project podcast, talking about our energy system. Ben Bett, Yeah,
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: thank you so much for your time. I must say
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: you're Baseload podcasts great listening. I wish you'd do it
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: more often. It's fantastic stuff. I know you've got a
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: full time job. At least four wind turbines in Australia
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: catching fire in less than two years, that sounds to
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: me like a real risk.
• 37:45
  Speaker 15: Yeah, it does. And thanks having on Andrew, and thanks
• 37:46
  Speaker 15: for the plug much appreciated. I wish I could do
• 37:48
  Speaker 15: it more often as well. But it's a hell of
• 37:50
  Speaker 15: a hobby to take on. So bearings in turbines is
• 37:54
  Speaker 15: going to be the main fault with the fires. When
• 37:59
  Speaker 15: you think about regular turbines, we have plenty of min Australia.
• 38:02
  Speaker 15: So these ground mounted turbines, they're in solid fixed foundations.
• 38:06
  Speaker 15: They have control systems that monitor vibration or temperature, bearing temperature,
• 38:10
  Speaker 15: the bearing position, and they use journal bearings where there's
• 38:13
  Speaker 15: no metal to metal contact. The shaft spins in an
• 38:15
  Speaker 15: oil film microns thick. So if you keep the oil clean,
• 38:18
  Speaker 15: the right temperature and pressure, that bearing will last decades,
• 38:22
  Speaker 15: like literally decades. But the the cell of a wind
• 38:25
  Speaker 15: turbine is not a stable platform inherently, certainly not stable
• 38:29
  Speaker 15: enough to use journal bearings. So these roller bearings, which
• 38:31
  Speaker 15: do have metal to metal contact by design, that creates
• 38:34
  Speaker 15: heat and the bearings wear, and that wear leaves metal
• 38:36
  Speaker 15: particles into oil, which increases the wear and the heat.
• 38:39
  Speaker 15: So that's basically the failure mechanism of a lot of
• 38:42
  Speaker 15: these things. And further, if you have a ground mounted machine,
• 38:45
  Speaker 15: it's easy to access and maintain the space for your
• 38:47
  Speaker 15: cool as it filters, back up, pumps, all the gear
• 38:50
  Speaker 15: required to keep it in tip top shape. But a
• 38:52
  Speaker 15: wind turbine is space constrained, it's weight constrained, it's difficult
• 38:56
  Speaker 15: and dangerous to access. So the guys who do the
• 38:58
  Speaker 15: maintenance up there in the air, however how many hundreds
• 39:02
  Speaker 15: of meters it is these days, they have to be
• 39:04
  Speaker 15: specially trained not only in gearboxes and bearings and electrical work,
• 39:07
  Speaker 15: but they all have to be specially trained as getting
• 39:09
  Speaker 15: up there. So it's no wonder that there's going to
• 39:12
  Speaker 15: be some failures. It's just a very tough environment for
• 39:16
  Speaker 15: bearings and things get hotened.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: Of course for us, now this sounds says to me
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: like a real time bomb waiting in the very combustible bush,
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: and I think we may pay for it, and we
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: just don't hear enough. I mean, they're probably ways of
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: suppressing this, but we don't hear enough. By the way,
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: the latest you know, Nations Climate conference is on right now.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: As you know, climate change means that crispone is going
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: with our money in his pocket, which is scare because China,
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: the world's biggest emitter, has just told the meeting that
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: developed countries like US should pay the rest of the world,
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: like China one point eight trillion dollars to help them
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: deal with climate change, which is no wonder then that
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: the Taliban terrorist regime has turned up at this conference
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: to yabber about the climate. Does this strike you as
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: the greatest scam out for third world countries?
• 40:07
  Speaker 15: Yeah, it seems a bit rich, doesn't it. I mean,
• 40:10
  Speaker 15: the people in Taliban controlled areas probably have a bit
• 40:13
  Speaker 15: more to worry about than what method of electricity they
• 40:17
  Speaker 15: get during the day and the night. I much prefer
• 40:21
  Speaker 15: to see someone like Matt Canavan Santa over to the
• 40:23
  Speaker 15: climate meetings. I think he'd make it a great impact.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: Oh absolutely yes, why not instead of In fact, I've
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: got warning for you because Chris Bonne apparently is being
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: asked to be part of all these negotiations about where
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: money is going. So that's freaking me out. Ben Betti,
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: thank you so much for your time, great podcasts. Thank
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: you so much after the break. Why race politics is
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: a threat to democracy? We just had Maori politicians threaten
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: other MP's in New Zealand's parliament with a war dance
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: simply because they lost the vote. Now we're now seeing
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: how threatening the new vote politics really is today in
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: New Zealand's parliament that had to be closed down even
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: I mean the West. For centuries, we became rich and
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: free partly by preaching that we all have the same
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: rights everyone, and we resolve our differences by argument, reason
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: and then a vote that's now under threat by the
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: new identity politics that's dividing us into tribes and races,
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: and then that means arguments ultimately are settled by force.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: In New Zealand, the Act, the Act Party part of
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: the coalition. It's pushing to change the woke way that
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: the Waitangi Treaty in eighteen forty between the British and
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: the Maried tribes, the way that treaty is now interpreted
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: in a way that you know, you get the seventy
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: percent of New Zealand as a Maori are increasingly given
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: an equal say to the eighty three who are not.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: That's not democratic. And the ACT Party says, well, let's
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: get back to treating people equally regardless of race, and
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: a bill to do just that was put to Parliament
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: for a vote. And then we saw that identity politics
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: doesn't accept equal votes. Racemongers don't accept that. So a
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: minor Maori party in that parliament closed that parliament with
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: a harker a mariy war dance, with labor in Pas
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: joining in in this attack on democracy. Here's the politician
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: who screened out that harker claiming that this is the
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: only way she knows how to behave being.
• 42:56
  Speaker 16: You know, Mary, this is all that I know is
• 42:59
  Speaker 16: to be.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, what nonsense? Spare me. The ACT leader David Semo,
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: who himself has mari ancestry, called out this tribal thuggery
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: for exactly what it was.
• 43:11
  Speaker 13: What I didn't hear in the debate today is a
• 43:14
  Speaker 13: logical reason to oppose the principles in the spell. That
• 43:17
  Speaker 13: is the real challenge for the people on the other side,
• 43:20
  Speaker 13: I think lacking good arguments that are behaving like.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: That, joining me is the panel. There's James McPherson from
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: the late debate here in sky News and Evelyn ray
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Farmer for a policewoman in sky News regular. I mean, James,
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: that's all she knows is this politician doing a war
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: dance rather than accept a vote. And I think this
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: is where race politic ultimately ends, right Your response.
• 43:48
  Speaker 11: Yeah, well, Andrew, this is what happens, sadly when you
• 43:50
  Speaker 11: allow a twenty two year old into parliament. She's more
• 43:53
  Speaker 11: suited to being an influencer on TikTok than a representative
• 43:57
  Speaker 11: in a democratic parliament. At best, you would call that
• 44:00
  Speaker 11: a temper tantrum, wearing a cloak of culture to disguise it,
• 44:05
  Speaker 11: but in reality it's a reminder of what's at stake
• 44:08
  Speaker 11: when you tear up the principle of equality, which she
• 44:11
  Speaker 11: literally did. We saw on the video there that she
• 44:14
  Speaker 11: took the bill that's under discussion, and she tore it
• 44:17
  Speaker 11: in half. When you do that, you end up with
• 44:20
  Speaker 11: rank tribalism. And so we saw there a war dance
• 44:24
  Speaker 11: which is designed to intimidate. Now, if intimidation doesn't work,
• 44:29
  Speaker 11: what have you got left? You've got violence. And that's
• 44:32
  Speaker 11: what the Brits lifted the Maoris out of into tribal violence,
• 44:37
  Speaker 11: to a society where we are all equal before the law,
• 44:40
  Speaker 11: and we all have a say and we work out
• 44:42
  Speaker 11: our differences by talking and debating principles, rather than resorting
• 44:48
  Speaker 11: to what we saw in the parliament. It was a disgrace.
• 44:51
  Speaker 11: And I tell you there are a lot of Maori people,
• 44:53
  Speaker 11: many of whom I know, who saw that and said
• 44:56
  Speaker 11: they were shocked and embarrassed by it. She does not
• 44:58
  Speaker 11: represent Maury's in New Zealand, who frankly were horrified at
• 45:04
  Speaker 11: what they saw, many of them.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: I just wonder when they want to declare a race war,
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: do they realize that they're actually outnumbered? I mean, God forbid,
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: if it came to that they are actually desperately outnumbered,
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: what are they asking for? And Evelyn, can you imagine
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: the uproar if white politicians screamed a God in the
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: face of other politicians in parliament in an intimidating way,
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: God in the face of Aboriginal or Maori politicians.
• 45:33
  Speaker 16: Log Andrew, I can imagine it. Actually, I think all
• 45:36
  Speaker 16: of us can. Let's not forget what recently happened to
• 45:38
  Speaker 16: Pauline Hanson, and that wasn't even to an indigenous has
• 45:42
  Speaker 16: shame and she wasn't even yelling. So I think that
• 45:45
  Speaker 16: paint's a pretty accurate picture of what we could expect
• 45:48
  Speaker 16: if something like this was reciprocated and flipped on its head.
• 45:52
  Speaker 16: But you know, sadly, we have to live in a
• 45:54
  Speaker 16: country now where we're afraid to speak because of fear
• 45:57
  Speaker 16: of social consequences and now egal ones, and we have
• 46:01
  Speaker 16: to live with the fact that we've kind of invited
• 46:03
  Speaker 16: this into our country, into every aspect and sphere of
• 46:07
  Speaker 16: you know, how we live our lives. You know, if
• 46:09
  Speaker 16: we do not change this about our country and about
• 46:13
  Speaker 16: Western countries around the world, our children and our again
• 46:16
  Speaker 16: grandchildren are going to look back on this in their
• 46:18
  Speaker 16: history studies in school and they're going to be writing
• 46:20
  Speaker 16: essays about how we single handily destroyed the country because
• 46:24
  Speaker 16: we were afraid to be called a slur, a racist,
• 46:27
  Speaker 16: or a white supremacist or whatever else they want to
• 46:30
  Speaker 16: slap us with. And I think the only way that
• 46:32
  Speaker 16: we're going to get out of this hole that we've
• 46:34
  Speaker 16: put ourselves in is by saying enough is enough. You know,
• 46:37
  Speaker 16: we need really strong politicians who quite frankly, don't mind
• 46:41
  Speaker 16: wearing these you know, tired labels that they continue to
• 46:44
  Speaker 16: slap on us, who's you know, out of line to
• 46:47
  Speaker 16: the narrative. And we also need a public who can
• 46:49
  Speaker 16: really think for themselves and see through all of these
• 46:53
  Speaker 16: smear campaigns. And you know, Andrew, the sad part is,
• 46:56
  Speaker 16: if we can't do these two very simple things, we
• 46:59
  Speaker 16: are going to lose democracy. We are going to lose
• 47:02
  Speaker 16: a quality under the law, and in the end, our
• 47:04
  Speaker 16: children and our grandchildren will lose because.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: Of that well said talk about out of touch, James.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: Here is the new South Wales Housing Minister Rose Jackson today.
• 47:19
  Speaker 12: What do you reckon is a reasonable price to pay
• 47:22
  Speaker 12: in rent for a two bedroom flat in Sydney?
• 47:24
  Speaker 10: Yeah, well, I mean it kind of depends where in Sydney.
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, Sydney's a big city.
• 47:32
  Speaker 12: You know, I mean a couple one hundred bucks right, Like.
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: Where can you get a two bedroom flat for a
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: couple of hundred bucks?
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: Well a week?
• 47:39
  Speaker 12: I don't know there are places in Sydney Academy.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: What does that tell you, James Andrew?
• 47:47
  Speaker 11: That tells me why we've got a housing crisis When
• 47:49
  Speaker 11: the Minister for Housing in the middle of a crisis
• 47:52
  Speaker 11: has no idea how bad the crisis is or what
• 47:55
  Speaker 11: real people are having to deal with, no wonder, there's
• 47:59
  Speaker 11: no end in sight to this. The median price for
• 48:02
  Speaker 11: renting a two bedroom apartment in Sydney is not a
• 48:05
  Speaker 11: couple hundred bucks, it's seven hundred and twenty dollars. Unfortunately,
• 48:10
  Speaker 11: the Minister is completely out of touch and no wonder
• 48:15
  Speaker 11: we've got problems when these are the people charged with
• 48:17
  Speaker 11: solving them.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: Look, Evelyn, I've only got ten seconds for you. Sorry,
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: we ran out of time. What do you think I.
• 48:25
  Speaker 16: Think we need Trump's Department of Government Efficiency. We need
• 48:29
  Speaker 16: a mask and we need a VIVAC and maybe then
• 48:31
  Speaker 16: we'll happen us joyin government? Who can take care of us?
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: Gosh, my mind is boggling, Evelyn. I'm trying to think
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: of those great idea, But who have we got that
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: could do it Evan Ray Jameson firston, Thank you very
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: much to you both. That's it for me. Coming up
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: next Sherry Marks and goodnighte
