  Speaker 1: On Scoring Lives Australia. This is the Wider Panalty Show.

  Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Patty Show. Coming
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: up tonight, President Donald Trump announces a cease fire. Will
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: this be the end of the twelve day war? Kosher
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Gata will be with me shortly to discuss Security experts
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: warn Australian teenagers may become radicalized due to the conflict
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: in the Middle East. The panel will weigh in on
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: that issue and much more. We will look at some
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: new research showing the dangers of medicalized transgender treatments. And
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: we'll also look at the radical socialists who may be
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: elected mayor of New York and left He's losing. It
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: is full of good news tonight, including the musings of
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: international law expert and view co host Sunny Austin.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: I believe this is certainly a clear violation of international
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: law at the very least.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: But first, the conflict in the Middle East has raised
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: alarm bells about homegrown terrorism on Australian soil. Security experts
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: have worn vulnerable Australian teenagers are at risk of being
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: radicalized and becoming gey hardest acting Opposition Foreign Affairs spokesman
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Andrew Hasty has also warned about the Iranian regime engaging
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: in foreign interference.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: I think the Kods Force, which is the unconventional special
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: operations wing of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, very methodical.
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: Very patient.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: There's something we've got to watch very closely. And there's
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: the reason why Mike Burgess, the Director General of ASIO,
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: mentioned the Iranians in his annual threat update, particularly around
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: foreign interference.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: So this is a risk for.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: The US particularly, but also allies as well.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Let's bring in the panel. We've got Sky News contributors
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Tina McQueen and Prue McSween teena. I'll start with you.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: We saw scores of Australian residents travel to the Middle
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: East to join the Caliphate, to join Islamic State. Do
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: you think there's any risk this conflict will see the
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: same thing happen. We'll see young people become radicalized.
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: Oh, sadly, there is a big risk, greader. You've only
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: got to look at the protests on the weekend, the
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: pro Palestine now pro Iranian protests all through the Sydney CBD,
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: the elevated attacks on the Jewish community community in different areas.
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: So there's a big risk. I think this has to
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: be closely monitored in Australia and I'm sure they have
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: the methods and know how to do that, but that
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: is they get so it seem to be excited by
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: this rita and forget that they're Australians living in Australia.
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: It's really sad to see and I don't know how
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: we're going to combat this.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Pre and internationally we've already seen incidents. Is that Mixed
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: State has claimed credit for a terror plot in Syria
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: where a suicide bomba killed twenty two people at a
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Christian church in Damascus over the weekend. We've been so
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: lucky in this country, really, haven't we prove in that
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: major terror plots have been foiled before they've been executed.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: We may not always be that lucky.
• 3:23
  Speaker 7: Well that's the problem, you know, and luck shouldn't be
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: a factor, should it reta? But I just fail to
• 3:29
  Speaker 7: understand why government hasn't acted on these radical imams who
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: are poisoning the young minds. That this is the greatest source,
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: I believe of homegrown terror and we've seen that with
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: past examples, and we are aware that homegrown terrorism.
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: Is there, and we have been lucky, but how long will.
• 3:50
  Speaker 8: That luck last?
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Now? The E Safety Commissioner is continuing her push for
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: greater online shep Are you recall she tried to get
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: a worldwide ban on that alleged terror attack at a
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Christian church in Sydney last year. Well, now she wants
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: YouTube added to the government's social media ban for under sixteen.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: It's a survey by the E Safety Commissioner earlier this
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: year found that YouTube was the most used platform by
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: ten to fifteen year olds by a significant margin. And
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Julie Inman grant Tina. She's arguing in her speech at
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the National Press Club today that around seven to ten
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: kids report being exposed to harmful online content, such as
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: what she thinks is misogynistic or hateful material. What's your
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: take on this issue?
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: Oh, look, I think, you know, I think I think
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: some sort of ban would be great for under sixteens,
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: but it's going to be so difficult to enforce. I
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: think parents need to take a greater role on this.
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: There's different apps you can apply so the kids can't
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: access that. Don't get them the iPhones where they can,
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: you know, have the ability to go on the net
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: anywhere anywhere they are. But also, I mean, you've only
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: got to look at television reader, Netflix, stand even free
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: to air TV.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: There's some disgusting episodes on television.
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: So you know, it's not just the Internet that is
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: dangerous for kids. It's everywhere now that we have to
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: be really, really careful and parents need to take a
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: stronger approach in really looking closely at what their kids
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: are looking at, take some responsibility.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Prou I've got to say I disagree. I do not
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: like this sort of censorship at all. I don't want
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: the likes of Julie Inman Grant deciding what's hateful material
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: pro should it be something that is left to parents
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: or parents really not equipped to deal with this sort
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: of issue, given the kids are so much better with
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: tech than than their parents.
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: Well, I think you know, it's got to be the parents.
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: I agree that kids can get around anything technical these
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: days and leave us all for dead. But you know,
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: I'm sick of kids being cotton wooled and snowflaked, and
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: that's what we're bringing raising. Sadly, I just always feel
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: there's a focus on the risk rather than the benefits,
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: particularly with YouTube, where you know they have education and
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: health benefits, and it's really strongly supported. I think seventy
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: nine percent of kids ten to fifteen use it for
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: those reasons. And you know, when I was a kid,
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: I used to sneak looking at, you know, the books
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: that my mother used to wear that were sort of
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: naughty you're used to read, and you sort of think, well,
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: you know, this is natural for kids to want to
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: investigate and explore, and obviously we've got to be careful
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: that we supervise them. But I just feel very uncomfortable
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: having governments telling us what we can and look at
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: and read read it.
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: There's also a positive aspect to this. I have an
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: levenyear old grandson that you know, has a slight TikTok
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: account here, so over half million followers that discuss lunar
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: parts w you know, it's hysterical. I can't believe he
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: had more followers than what the Liberal Liberal Party did
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: during the election. They should have imployed him. But there's
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: the positives where where it can it can be very
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: good for kids.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Well, absolutely, and I think it's just foolish to try
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: to impose these sorts of controls. Sure get rid of
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: things that are threats things that are explicit materials that
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: kids should be protected from. But you don't need to
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: be banning YouTube. The This is how kids consume information
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: and I just think it's such a counterproductive thing to
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: be doing. And to have someone ideological lefteris like Julie
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Inman Grant making those calls. I mean that is just
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: alarm bells. Yeah, no, that is that that something. Really
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: the coalition needs to come out and take a stand,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: but sadly they've been really silent on this issue. Let's
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: talk local government. Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore has announced
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: that gas appliances will be banned in new homes from
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: next year. She's also proposing to ban gas from new offices,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: hotels and service departments. Tina, she's your local mayor. What
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: do you make of this policy? Will you be changing
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: your appliances?
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: I'd like to ban Clover more, That's what I'd like
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: to do. Look, I'm no great cook, but I have
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: friends that are, and they do tell me some dishes
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: are really impossible to cook. And regulate a control with
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: our gas appliances.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is crazy.
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: People should be given the choice. We should not be
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: dictated by some woman that's been there far too long.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, as soon as she goes.
• 8:53
  Speaker 9: The better.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: H Prue, what do you say to that? I know
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: it's I mean, can you even put a walk on
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: an electric cook top? It doesn't make sense. You need
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: you need the flames.
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: Of course you do, or they're saying inductions as good.
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: But first of all, we're going to need electricity to
• 9:13
  Speaker 7: actually fire up all these ovens and cook tops because
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: the rate we're going, we're in Fancy's fantasy land with
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: the renewables, We're not going to have electricity supply that
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: could even cook a stir for in time.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: You know, we've got councils.
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: Like Clover Moore and Buly's six others are trying to
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: do it, and seven have already done it.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, get out.
• 9:35
  Speaker 7: Of our lives, stick to the roads and rates and rubbish,
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: and you know it's not your jurisdiction.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: She's got a large Asian.
• 9:44
  Speaker 7: Contingency in the city of Sydney who always cook on walks,
• 9:49
  Speaker 7: so she's she's not going to make herself very popular
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: in that area. So I just think she's always overstepping
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: the mark.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: God knows why. She's got nothing better to do.
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: Clearly put her to pasture or something.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Well, the Victorian government, they've got all sorts of statewide
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: restrictions on gas and they're not particularly popular either, but
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: they're pressing ahead and they've announced a whole bunch of
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: new regulations today, particularly for rental properties. Now, I want
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: to just get your take on what's happening with international travel.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Australians have been worn that they maybe travel chaos in
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: the peak season due to the Iran Israel conflict, with
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: flights from Australia to the milease delayed and canceled in
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: some cases. Prove that timing couldn't be worse for travelers,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: given that many Australians do transit through the Middle East
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: to reach Europe.
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: Well, it wouldn't be me, Reta. I wouldn't risk it
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: because you can't trust Iran, and that's for sure. They're
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: talking seats fire, but you just couldn't believe it, So
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: I would be staying at home, day at home. I've
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: got to say, on the upside.
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: There may be some cheap seats available REDA if.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: You're into advention. Seemed to me, yeah, well you would
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: hope that. But no, it seems with the flight cancelations there.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: The scarcity is making the fares even higher during peak season.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: So people seem to be pretty bold these days, Tina.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: After the COVID lockdowns, people want to get out there
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: and travel.
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: That's right, that's right. I mean, you know, anything could
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: happen anytime in the world. I think, if you've spent
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: a lot of money on travel plans, you know, go
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: for it. Be sensible about it. Look at the government
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: travel warnings. But you know, if I had a big,
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: expensive holiday plan, I'd still be going. Look to this day,
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: I'd still love to be in Israel at this at
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: this moment. I know it's very dangerous and not a
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: great place to be, but it's such a fascinating country, Rita,
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: So if I had a tip to Israel planned, I'd
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: certainly still be going.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: I was there in December, and yeah, there's nowhere else
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: like it in the world, Tina, and pro thank you
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: so much for your time tonight. Thanks to America. And
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: while the Democrats play the role of the Iranian Muller's
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: useful idiots, railing against the military action and calling for
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump to be impeached, the president has been busy
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: securing a seaspire, what he calls a complete and total ceasepire.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Let's hear more on that from Vice President JdE Vance.
• 12:28
  Speaker 10: What it means, Brett's quite simple. First of all, the President,
• 12:31
  Speaker 10: without knock on Wood, having a single American casualty, obliterated
• 12:37
  Speaker 10: the Iranian nuclear program. We are now in a place
• 12:40
  Speaker 10: where we weren't a week ago. Week ago, Iran was
• 12:42
  Speaker 10: very close to having a nuclear weapon. Now Iran is
• 12:45
  Speaker 10: incapable of building a nuclear weapon with the equipment they
• 12:48
  Speaker 10: have because we destroyed it. So that's a very very
• 12:51
  Speaker 10: big thing.
• 12:52
  Speaker 11: Now.
• 12:52
  Speaker 10: What that means, I think is we have to talk
• 12:54
  Speaker 10: to Iran and of course to Israel about what the
• 12:56
  Speaker 10: future holds. Because while we have obliterated the Iranian nuclear program,
• 13:00
  Speaker 10: our hope and our expectation is that they're not going
• 13:02
  Speaker 10: to try to rebuild that program. And I think that's
• 13:04
  Speaker 10: what the President is really trying to figure out here,
• 13:07
  Speaker 10: is to build a long term settlement here to where
• 13:10
  Speaker 10: we can have peace in the region, where our regional
• 13:13
  Speaker 10: allies and of course the American people most importantly can
• 13:15
  Speaker 10: be secured, but where we can ensure that the destruction
• 13:18
  Speaker 10: of the Iranian nuclear program that has already happened is
• 13:21
  Speaker 10: not something they try to rebuild and on that ceasefire.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Earlier today, Donald Trump announced the end of what he
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: called the twelve Day War. He wrote, congratulations to everyone.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Iran that there will be a complete and total cease
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: fire in approximately six hours from now, when Israel and
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Iran have wound down and completed their in progress final
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: missions for twelve hours, at which point the war will
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: be considered ended. Officially, Iran will start the ceasefire, and
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: upon the twelfth hour, Israel will start the ceasefire, and
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: upon the twenty fourth hour, an official to the twelve
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: day War will be saluted by the world. During each ceasefire,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: the other side will remain peaceful and respectful on the
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: assumption that everything works as it should, which it will.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: I would like to congratulate both countries, Israel and Iran,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: on having the stamina, courage, and intelligence to end what
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: should be called the twelve Day War. This is a
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: war that could have gone on for years and destroyed
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: the entire Middle East, but it didn't and never will.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Let's bring in Sky News contributor Kosher Gaeta Kosher What
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: are the chances that this ceasefire will hold. I'm surprised
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: it's been agreed to in the first place, but will
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: it be lasting?
• 14:43
  Speaker 12: That is a million dollar question on everybody's mind. What
• 14:46
  Speaker 12: a whirl win seventy two hours this has been from
• 14:48
  Speaker 12: that first bombing to where we are now, and this
• 14:51
  Speaker 12: is far on the table. Allegedly the split in the
• 14:53
  Speaker 12: Trump bes that I think is healing, but the side
• 14:56
  Speaker 12: that was very strongly opposed to this is for that reason,
• 14:58
  Speaker 12: And how can we trust this work? What are going
• 15:01
  Speaker 12: to be the scene and unseen consequences down the road. However,
• 15:04
  Speaker 12: just as Vice President Vance said over there, they don't
• 15:07
  Speaker 12: have much to come back from the Ranians, So it
• 15:10
  Speaker 12: feels difficult to see that they're going to engage in
• 15:12
  Speaker 12: this kind of kinetic back and forth because they're pretty
• 15:15
  Speaker 12: much depleted in terms of their leadership, in terms of
• 15:17
  Speaker 12: their missiles and everything else. Could they do other things
• 15:19
  Speaker 12: like sleeper cells and things like that over the long term.
• 15:22
  Speaker 12: Possibly that is still a worry, But as of now,
• 15:25
  Speaker 12: I think we're sitting in a pretty good place where
• 15:27
  Speaker 12: their nuclear capability has been annihilated, their leadership has gone.
• 15:31
  Speaker 12: Boots on the ground gone, other long range missiles depleted,
• 15:34
  Speaker 12: and conversely, we don't have American troops on the ground.
• 15:37
  Speaker 12: We're not getting sucked into forever wars. We're not going
• 15:40
  Speaker 12: into this regime change fantasy which many were pushing as well.
• 15:42
  Speaker 12: So he seems to have thread the needle quite well.
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: Well.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: That seems to be a pretty good point, isn't it.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: It's one thing to have the stealth bombers with the
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: secret mission, but to have boots on the ground is
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: I think something that many Americans from both sides of
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: politicus would be dead set against.
• 16:01
  Speaker 12: One hundred percent. And Trump was That's the thing that
• 16:04
  Speaker 12: gave some people pause or concerned that we doesn't want that.
• 16:07
  Speaker 12: There is something called incrementalism, and you take one action,
• 16:10
  Speaker 12: does it lead to the slippery slope? But he is
• 16:12
  Speaker 12: very strongly against that. The American people are very weary
• 16:15
  Speaker 12: after twenty five years of a failed adventure in the
• 16:18
  Speaker 12: Middle East to little to noah veil, and I think
• 16:20
  Speaker 12: that's dead un arrival.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Now, what do you make of the manner in which
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: the Australian government has handled this matter? And the Albin
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Easy has belatedly expressed support for Donald Trump's strikes on
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Iran's nuclear program, but that came after Foreign Minister Penny
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: One called for de escalation before the strikes. It's all
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: very confusing. I don't know how that can be very
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: supportive when just before the strikes that were calling for
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: de escalation. This is isolate us a little bit more
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: that surely the US and Israel can't be particularly happy
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: with Australia at this point.
• 16:58
  Speaker 12: When I look at the timing and manner of the
• 17:00
  Speaker 12: statements that are coming out of the Albanese administration, it
• 17:02
  Speaker 12: just comes across as playing a very very safe, very
• 17:05
  Speaker 12: focused grouped almost when they're looking at different factions in
• 17:08
  Speaker 12: their party back home. And this was a controversial move,
• 17:12
  Speaker 12: there's no question, and by in large we all wanted
• 17:14
  Speaker 12: to prevent escalation. So I understand where they're coming from
• 17:17
  Speaker 12: with having some of those statements out there, But the
• 17:19
  Speaker 12: way they come across is just too safe, too little,
• 17:22
  Speaker 12: too much juniversity and not playing in the big leagues
• 17:25
  Speaker 12: or representing Australia kind of at the big boys table.
• 17:28
  Speaker 12: It sort of looks like they'ret the kids' table.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: It seems very much amateur hour with sort of antiques.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: It's not something where their statements seem to be useful
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: to the country. Surely, what we want to be doing,
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: if we want to have any sort of input, would
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: be to be in a better position at the end
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: of this operation than beforehand. And I think we've just
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: given the Americans more reason to doubt where we stand,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: especially given the reluctance to increased defense spending as has
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: been requested by the Trump administration.
• 17:59
  Speaker 12: Reluctant to do that. The optics of being snubbed at
• 18:02
  Speaker 12: the G seven, not grabbing the bull by the horns
• 18:05
  Speaker 12: and getting a White House meeting in the Oval Office already, and.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Not even getting a meeting with the Vice President. I
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: think Anthony Abaneze there was a massive misstep to think
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: that I'm the leader of the country, I must meet
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: the leader of the US and bypass j Evans.
• 18:23
  Speaker 12: Right and not grabbing that opportunity when he had it
• 18:25
  Speaker 12: so at the Hague, supposedly Richard Morrils is going to
• 18:27
  Speaker 12: meet potentially with the President Trump, but we shall see.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Back to the US and Attorney General Pam Bondi was
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: asked about how many Iranian sleeper cells maybe in the
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: US right now? How many Iranian sleeper cells do we
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: suspect here in.
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: The United States, Congressman, I can't talk about that in
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: the setting, but what I can tell you is I
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: know Homeland Security, I know the FBI. They are focusing
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: on doing everything we can to keep our nation safe.
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: There is not a day that goes by that we
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: don't discuss the issues that you just brought up with
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: me at the Department of Justice. But I also know
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: that our counterparts at DoD HSI, the State Department, and
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: all of our agencies are working together to make America
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: safe and in turn keep our world safe kosher.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: She also said there that it was a particularly dangerous
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: period for the US. Of course, we saw millions coming
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: across that southern border under the Biden administration, no checks,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: no controls, So really, how could they have any idea
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: how many sleeper cells they could be in the country.
• 19:43
  Speaker 12: And they probably don't. And this is back to what
• 19:45
  Speaker 12: we were talking about earlier that with this action, you
• 19:48
  Speaker 12: cannot predict every consequence, and we will probably never know
• 19:51
  Speaker 12: every consequence is going to come out of it. And
• 19:53
  Speaker 12: these kinds of ones, you know, the overt ones like
• 19:55
  Speaker 12: the missiles that were striking and intercepted by the US military.
• 19:58
  Speaker 12: That was a great showing of the might of American
• 20:01
  Speaker 12: military offensively and defensively. But things like this it is
• 20:05
  Speaker 12: harder to predict, and it further underscores the Trump administration's
• 20:09
  Speaker 12: number one agenda, and really what undergirded his whole rise
• 20:12
  Speaker 12: politically is immigration, securing the border, deporting illegals, and that
• 20:17
  Speaker 12: is a problem that we've got anywhere from thirty forty
• 20:19
  Speaker 12: fifty million. Nobody knows the number of illegals in the country.
• 20:22
  Speaker 12: About ten to twelve were allowed just the last four
• 20:24
  Speaker 12: years under Joe Biden, tens of thousands of them potentially Iranians.
• 20:28
  Speaker 12: Many may very well be sympathetic to the regime and
• 20:31
  Speaker 12: not very happy right now. So this is a big problem.
• 20:34
  Speaker 12: It is concerning, and hopefully this gives them some more
• 20:37
  Speaker 12: ammunition rhetorically speaking, to really deport those people aggressively and
• 20:41
  Speaker 12: fight back against all the opposition they're facing internally.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: How will the Democrats handle this escalation? Will they carry
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: water for Iran's Islamist regime, for the mad Muller's We've
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: heard a lot of claims with the Democrats that the
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: strikes were unconstitutional, against international law. We've gone the likes
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: of AOC and came Jeffries calling for impeachment. They really
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: are getting on the front foot with this, But again
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: I wonder whether this is going to be counterproductive for them.
• 21:11
  Speaker 12: I think so, and they feel really scattered. There's like
• 21:13
  Speaker 12: fifteen different messages that have come out of the Democrat Party.
• 21:16
  Speaker 12: You had John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, very very in favor,
• 21:19
  Speaker 12: very much in favor of it. You have these guys
• 21:21
  Speaker 12: calling for impeachment. Impeachment is their favorite tool of choice
• 21:25
  Speaker 12: against Trump. They did it twice over the perfect phone
• 21:28
  Speaker 12: call quote unquote and the insurrection that had rise to
• 21:31
  Speaker 12: legal standard of insurrections.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: So had they learned from that or do they still
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: know that the more radical elements of their supporter base
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: get excited when they hear the I word, and they
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: are just going to keep going down that road, even
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: if it just makes them even more unelectable.
• 21:46
  Speaker 12: I think it seems to be the latter. They just
• 21:48
  Speaker 12: don't have the votes right now. But if they were
• 21:50
  Speaker 12: to gain back the majority in the midterms, which is
• 21:53
  Speaker 12: possible because the Publicans have a very slim majority, absolutely,
• 21:56
  Speaker 12: I think they're going to find the first pause they
• 21:59
  Speaker 12: can cook up to do it. And that's another reason
• 22:01
  Speaker 12: why Trump really has to act fast, because who knows
• 22:04
  Speaker 12: how much time he has left. If they were to
• 22:05
  Speaker 12: do this.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Well, it's going to be fascinating what they come up with.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Cook Up, I think was the perfect term there. Now
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: to other news, the FBI has launched investigations into who
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: is funding and organizing violent protests in the US. What
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: NGO's individuals are behind the lawlessness we saw in LA
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: and other cities. They can expect to feel the full
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: force of the law. Let's here from Bill Asali along
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: with FBI Assistant Director Akil Davis and IRS Special Agent
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Tyler Hatcher.
• 22:40
  Speaker 13: These violent agitators put peaceful demonstrators at risk. The FBI
• 22:45
  Speaker 13: and our fellow partners will continue to investigate individuals and
• 22:48
  Speaker 13: organizations who are knowingly funding and committing acts of violence
• 22:52
  Speaker 13: against law enforcement, as well as the destruction of property.
• 22:56
  Speaker 14: We are currently tracing money to determine who is providing
• 22:59
  Speaker 14: funding for these riots. Funding crime doesn't just affect the criminals,
• 23:03
  Speaker 14: it also disrupts entire communities. Each dollar funneled into illegal operations,
• 23:08
  Speaker 14: fuels violence, underminds law and order, and perpetuates fear. Make
• 23:12
  Speaker 14: no mistake, we will identify and disrupt financial network supporting
• 23:16
  Speaker 14: these criminal activities.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: This is potentially huge. There are some very rich, very
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: influential characters behind some of these NGOs that are suspected
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: of aiding and abetting the rioters. And again this is
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: something that the Trump base is very energized about.
• 23:34
  Speaker 12: This is potentially huge. That old adage follow the money
• 23:38
  Speaker 12: rings very true here. If you choke off the money supply.
• 23:41
  Speaker 12: A lot of these so called protests that are probably
• 23:43
  Speaker 12: not one hundred percent organic, I think a lot of
• 23:45
  Speaker 12: people doubt that they are do get severed. It won't
• 23:49
  Speaker 12: be easy because the likes of George Soros's name comes
• 23:52
  Speaker 12: up and other very powerful people who are going to
• 23:54
  Speaker 12: lawyer up. They're going to have judges in their corner
• 23:56
  Speaker 12: that are going to try and style me this every
• 23:58
  Speaker 12: step of the way. So it's not going to be easy,
• 24:00
  Speaker 12: but it does show the power of a full throaded
• 24:03
  Speaker 12: approach by the government, all agencies, the IRS they know
• 24:06
  Speaker 12: everything about your money, the FBI, the DoD, Homeland Security, Pambindi,
• 24:11
  Speaker 12: and the Justice Department, everybody kind of coming together for
• 24:14
  Speaker 12: the singular goal of getting these people out and those
• 24:17
  Speaker 12: who eat and about them admonished.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Now before you go. If you were advising the Australian government,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: which has now got a relationship with our biggest ally,
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: the US, that isn't the strongest it's been. We've had
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: the Prime Minister snubbed repeatedly, how would you look to
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: repair that relationship? Had do you? Because we've have the
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: trade tariffs to negotiate, we have orcas, we've got the
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: defense spending. It's a really critical time and Albaniza needs
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: to get some FaceTime with the President.
• 24:50
  Speaker 12: I think you have been very clear about Australia first,
• 24:52
  Speaker 12: like what is the actual policy gender that puts Australia first,
• 24:56
  Speaker 12: and understanding that sometimes that gets complicated as well. You're
• 25:00
  Speaker 12: dealing with this tenuous coalition or of different people from
• 25:04
  Speaker 12: the Greens all the way to the Centrist so figuring
• 25:06
  Speaker 12: that out, and then secondly in teress of dealing with
• 25:08
  Speaker 12: the US. Trump is very much a people person at
• 25:10
  Speaker 12: the end of the day, in that old fashioned approach
• 25:12
  Speaker 12: of building a relationship, finding somebody who has likability with
• 25:16
  Speaker 12: him and his team and pushing on that.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Like that's going to be Kevin Rudd. It looks like
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: the ambassador is an impediment, not a help at this point,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: do they have to make a call on that, because
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: this relationship has it's tainted, it's it's as weak as
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: it's Spain in several decades.
• 25:38
  Speaker 12: And he doesn't seem to be pulling away from that Albans.
• 25:41
  Speaker 12: He seems to be backing Kevin Rudd and that role.
• 25:43
  Speaker 12: But I would have to imagine. I don't think Trump is
• 25:45
  Speaker 12: really spending too much time thinking about Australia right now.
• 25:47
  Speaker 12: But if it were, and if he said I can't
• 25:50
  Speaker 12: work with this guy, send me somebody else, I'm pretty
• 25:52
  Speaker 12: sure that would happen.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Koshigeta, thank you for your time. Pleasure coming up. Lefties
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Losing It Plass three radical socialist NEPO baby on the
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: verge of being elected mayor of New York meeting, Alex
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Stein joins me. Next, you're watching the Reader Paney Show,
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: and it's time for lefties losing it. You know, nature
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: is healing. Things are getting better day by day. Even
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: as the demented Democrats called for Donald Trump to be
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: impeach Fray targeted strike against Iran's nuclear facilities. Still the
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: number of sane, rational folk is increasing. You know things
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: are looking up. When a confirmed teds sufferer like Charlemagne
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: is relatedly seeing the light. Now this is going to
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: outrage his lefty audience. That will be meltdowns galore cause
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: his spitting facts.
• 26:53
  Speaker 15: There have been a bunch of presidents who have ordered
• 26:55
  Speaker 15: strakes without congressional approval. Barack Obama did it against Libya.
• 27:00
  Speaker 15: Biden ordered strikes in Iraq and Syria without congressional approval.
• 27:03
  Speaker 15: Bill Clinton did it to the Kulsovo. I think you
• 27:07
  Speaker 15: can pronounced it. So President's ordering military action without congressional
• 27:10
  Speaker 15: approval has become pretty routine.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: And he is not alone. He's another Democrat, another lefty
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: losing it. He used to rile against Trump, who is
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: now defending him. Stephen I. Smith is angry not at
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: the President, but at the Democrats and their calls for impeachment.
• 27:26
  Speaker 16: The Democrats are calling, or at least some of them are
• 27:32
  Speaker 16: calling for the impeachment of Donald Trump. Same old song
• 27:35
  Speaker 16: and dance. I thought we heard this before. I thought
• 27:37
  Speaker 16: that was over and done with. The minute you lost
• 27:40
  Speaker 16: the election with the popular voter in the electoral college,
• 27:42
  Speaker 16: Volden losing.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Every Swinge state, I thought we were over that.
• 27:45
  Speaker 16: Question number one. No matter what you feel about the
• 27:49
  Speaker 16: President of the United States.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Do you think that's the time.
• 27:53
  Speaker 16: While we're in the middle of such strife to be
• 27:56
  Speaker 16: calling for the impeachment of the President of the United States, particular,
• 28:00
  Speaker 16: if you're a representative of you're an elected official in
• 28:02
  Speaker 16: the United States of America, I don't think so. It's
• 28:04
  Speaker 16: number one.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Number two.
• 28:07
  Speaker 16: Were the Democrat saying that when Obama bamba Libya when
• 28:12
  Speaker 16: he was in office.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: It's a new day, folks. I'll be playing you some
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: crazy lefties soon, but right now we are just reveling
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: in lefties who are finally seeing the light.
• 28:23
  Speaker 16: This is eradicating a threat. Civilians weren't targeted, nuclear sites
• 28:31
  Speaker 16: were targeted. You can navigate your way around the war
• 28:34
  Speaker 16: powers act itself, and you don't have to concern yourself
• 28:37
  Speaker 16: with receiving congressional approval.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: The Democrats know that because of Obama.
• 28:40
  Speaker 16: So if you knew that because of Obama and you
• 28:42
  Speaker 16: didn't say it when it involved him in Libya, why
• 28:45
  Speaker 16: would you turn around and all of a sudden try
• 28:48
  Speaker 16: to make that case against Donald Trump.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Really, he's done my work for me, precisely the arguments
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: I was going to make it. Now I have to
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: listen to a lifelong Democrat maker, I may lose it myself.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Now Trump has even got Democrat Senator John Fetterman, once
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: a far left radical, criticizing AOC and her calls for
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Trump to be impeached.
• 29:11
  Speaker 17: She knows it, I know it, We all know it.
• 29:12
  Speaker 17: That's not going anywhere. And you know he's been impeached
• 29:17
  Speaker 17: twice and now he's still our president as well now too,
• 29:20
  Speaker 17: So it's not going anywhere. And I don't think that's helpful.
• 29:23
  Speaker 17: And I think if you throw that term around, that
• 29:26
  Speaker 17: actually diminishes what the severity of what impeachment is really
• 29:30
  Speaker 17: reserved for.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: And here's more lefties getting an education. Old school lefty.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Bill Myer's audience got a strong dose of logic from
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Republican Wesley Hunt about the importance of not tearing down
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Confederate statues and the importance of restoring the names of
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: military bases. Listen to this.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Trump is putting the Roberty Lee name back on buildings.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, are you done with that?
• 29:56
  Speaker 11: So when I was at West Point, I actually lived
• 29:58
  Speaker 11: in Robert E. Lee Barrett when I was there, and
• 30:01
  Speaker 11: as I said, Berdie Lee went to it. Yes, yes,
• 30:03
  Speaker 11: yes he did. That's why the beaks named after him,
• 30:05
  Speaker 11: And so my brother, sister, and I are matriculated through
• 30:08
  Speaker 11: West Point. We all graduated. And I will never forget
• 30:10
  Speaker 11: walking under the threshold of Roberty Lee Berris to think
• 30:13
  Speaker 11: to myself, damn, this is one hell of a country,
• 30:16
  Speaker 11: because only in America can someone like me walk into
• 30:20
  Speaker 11: a building named after a Confederate general and then be
• 30:22
  Speaker 11: a successful West Point graduate. And I do not want
• 30:25
  Speaker 11: to take down these statutes and shames, the names of
• 30:27
  Speaker 11: these buildings. They're a reminder of what was and if
• 30:29
  Speaker 11: we don't remember it, we are doomed to repeat it.
• 30:34
  Speaker 18: So there's a reason for it.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: I said, as if it's not bad enough that I
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: have the like sort of Charlemagne and Stephen A Smith
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: making my arguments for me. And now is Bill Maher
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: poking fun at the dangerously dim witted and delusional ladies
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: of the view with.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Pie Goldberg saying it's worse to be a black person
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: in America today than a woman in Iran. You know,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: I say, we were talking about the transisue before in
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: the New York Times. Really has come over on that
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: to the sort of the sensible liberal not crazy work position.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: I think this is great first step to were getting
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: the Democrats back to sanity, and a second good step
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: would be we got to do something about the view.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: I really believe that.
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: I mean.
• 31:23
  Speaker 18: This huge and.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Iranda, stay in your lane. Bill Maher, mocking lefties is
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: my territory. You go back to, I don't know, smoking
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: dope and poking fun at Christians. But I do want
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: to play you. This brilliant response to Whoop is insane
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: victim playing from Wesley Hunt. And note again the audience clapping.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: This is Bill Maher's audience. This wouldn't have happened a
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: few years ago.
• 31:49
  Speaker 11: My district and agreats out of Texas is actually a
• 31:51
  Speaker 11: white majority district that President Trump would have won by
• 31:54
  Speaker 11: twenty five points. As I said, I'm a direct descendant
• 31:56
  Speaker 11: of a slave. My great great grandfather was born on
• 31:59
  Speaker 11: a rolls down plantation. I am literally being judged not
• 32:02
  Speaker 11: by the color of my skin, but by the content
• 32:04
  Speaker 11: of my character.
• 32:05
  Speaker 9: That's the progress because like a lot of white people
• 32:08
  Speaker 9: had to vote for me a lot, So I don't
• 32:12
  Speaker 9: even every want to hear Whoopy Gober's conversation about how
• 32:15
  Speaker 9: it's worse to be black in America.
• 32:17
  Speaker 11: Right now, that's a bit far. And my father, who's
• 32:20
  Speaker 11: seventy five years old, he was a man that was
• 32:22
  Speaker 11: in a French quarter that had to go get a
• 32:24
  Speaker 11: sandwich to the back door of the building. And his
• 32:27
  Speaker 11: son is now a United States congressman in a white
• 32:30
  Speaker 11: majority district in Texas as a Republican. That is America.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: That's America. And while we're talking about the view, let's
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: check in on the lunacy. Here is Joy Beja.
• 32:42
  Speaker 19: So on Thursday, the White House said that Trump was
• 32:44
  Speaker 19: going to make a decision on Iran within the next
• 32:47
  Speaker 19: two weeks. That's what he said. None of that, okay,
• 32:51
  Speaker 19: he was going to give diplomatic negotiations more time to
• 32:53
  Speaker 19: play out. And then less than forty eight hours later,
• 32:57
  Speaker 19: this attack was underway. So what changed and what was
• 33:00
  Speaker 19: he actually trying to accomplish here?
• 33:03
  Speaker 20: I mean, I looked the two weeks measure was clearly
• 33:06
  Speaker 20: a bit of a head fake.
• 33:07
  Speaker 19: So why did he keep it a secuence just for
• 33:09
  Speaker 19: the surprise and the surprise version.
• 33:11
  Speaker 20: I mean absolutely the diversion. And you saw the way
• 33:14
  Speaker 20: that the all indications were that B twos were flying
• 33:18
  Speaker 20: towards Guam. They already thought, okay, so we're getting in
• 33:22
  Speaker 20: position to be ready. They wanted to have some element
• 33:25
  Speaker 20: of surprised.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Did she really ask why the US didn't tell the
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Iranians about the surprise attack? Lost for words? Here is
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: Sunny Houston on the view, pretending to be an international
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: law expert, and she gets shut down quick smart.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: He bypassed Congress potentially violated the War Powers Resolution. I
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: believe this is certainly a clear violation of international law.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: At the very least, Democratic House Leader haw King Jeffreyes
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: accused the President of misleading the country as to his intentions.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: What do you think are the possible ramifications that President
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: Trump could face for arguably overstepping his authority.
• 34:07
  Speaker 20: Well, look, constitutional, Constitutionally, only Congress has the power to
• 34:11
  Speaker 20: declare war. The War Powers Act would make it seem
• 34:14
  Speaker 20: very clear you need to have Congressional approval on this.
• 34:17
  Speaker 20: But president after president after president has launched the military
• 34:22
  Speaker 20: action without the approval of Congress.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Now Here is further proof that blue cities are mad
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: and willing to elect ever more radical miscerients. New York's
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: mayoral race is underway and Zoran Mamdani, a socialist. The
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: New York Post reports, has Billy ever held a job
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: and admits to being a Nepo baby. Well, he could
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: be the next man. He could be the man to
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: lead a city of eight point eight million people. This guy, you.
• 34:57
  Speaker 19: Go ahead and United Class in Iraq.
• 35:02
  Speaker 12: Give adept.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Attracting world and more recently, it has been involved in
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: violent protests against Tom Homan and the Trump administration's deportation program.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Joining me now is comedian and host of Prime Time
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: with Alex Stein on Blaze TV. Alex, what is going
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: on in New York? Will we have this thirty three
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: year old become mayor?
• 35:40
  Speaker 18: You know, I hate to say it, Rita, but I
• 35:43
  Speaker 18: think he is, you know, possibly going to win. And
• 35:46
  Speaker 18: I think New York kind of you know, they get
• 35:49
  Speaker 18: what they deserve. And if they want to try radical socialism,
• 35:53
  Speaker 18: and I'll go ahead and find out. I know, California
• 35:56
  Speaker 18: had some terrible fires because they didn't have, you know,
• 35:58
  Speaker 18: water to put out these fires. Lord have mercy if
• 36:01
  Speaker 18: there's a terrible fire in New York City and they
• 36:02
  Speaker 18: don't have water to put it out. So if they
• 36:04
  Speaker 18: want to go this direction, that's why we live in
• 36:07
  Speaker 18: a democracy. And if these people want to choose to
• 36:10
  Speaker 18: go that route, you know, Buyer beware, is all I
• 36:13
  Speaker 18: can say. When it comes to the citizens of New
• 36:15
  Speaker 18: York City.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Well, I think we're going to see a new influx
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: of New Yorkers moving to your state, Texas or Florida
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: and Tennessee. We have seen that internally in the US
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: for some time now, Californians and New Yorkers fleeing these
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: blue states going to red states like Texas and Florida.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: But sometimes they keep voting the same way, so it
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: can be a bit of a danger. And now Joe
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Biden or whoever was pulling his strings, put this woman?
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Can Tanjie Brown Jackson on the Supreme Court? Remember this?
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Can you provide a definition for the word woman? Can
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: I provide a definition?
• 36:57
  Speaker 11: Now?
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't, not okay this context. I'm not in biology. Yes,
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: on the Supreme Court, but I can't tell you what
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: a woman is. But since becoming Scots, we've seen that
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: justice wowing us with theatrics literally like I.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: Hate it, which makes you think it must be brilliant.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: And ABC News reports that Justice Brown Jackson has unloaded
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: on her Supreme Court colleagues in a series of sharp
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: des sense, castigating them for what she called a pure
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: textualism approach to interpreting the law. Yes, we can't really
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: rely on the text, Alex. We've got to just go
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: with the feelings and vibes. I guess.
• 37:54
  Speaker 18: You know, she is the dei vibe Supreme Court justice.
• 37:57
  Speaker 18: So I'm surprised that she doesn't want to have to
• 37:59
  Speaker 18: look at and go buy, you know, the laws written
• 38:03
  Speaker 18: in a book. So I'm honestly not surprised because you
• 38:05
  Speaker 18: can't define a simple question like what is a woman?
• 38:08
  Speaker 18: She can't say that there's many biological differences when it
• 38:11
  Speaker 18: comes to chromosomes or body parts. I mean, there's just
• 38:13
  Speaker 18: so many differences between the man and a woman, and
• 38:16
  Speaker 18: she wants to try to play kid as if they're
• 38:18
  Speaker 18: the same. So this is who's in power, and there's
• 38:20
  Speaker 18: always going to be one of these dei people that
• 38:23
  Speaker 18: are there. And I think it's almost good in a way,
• 38:25
  Speaker 18: so we can kind of weed out who is making
• 38:27
  Speaker 18: the wrong decision in the Supreme Court. Sadly, I think
• 38:31
  Speaker 18: they're going to have a job for life. Supreme Court
• 38:33
  Speaker 18: justices don't go anywhere, so it stinks that she's got
• 38:36
  Speaker 18: a job forever. But at least we know that she's
• 38:38
  Speaker 18: kind of you know, the dumb one. So whatever however
• 38:41
  Speaker 18: she votes, we know the opposite of it is probably
• 38:44
  Speaker 18: the way that we should be voting.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: I would argue there's another one on that in that
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: court that's even dumber, but we'll argue about that another day.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: But yeah, she's got some competition there. I can tell
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: you Sean did he Combs? Music mogul Shawn did he Combs?
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: He's not going to testify at his trial. The New
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: York Post is reporting not only is did He not testifying,
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: but his legal team isn't planning on calling a single
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: witness in his defense. Alex, I'm not a lawyer, but
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: this seems rather a risky approach.
• 39:21
  Speaker 12: Well, you know, I'm.
• 39:22
  Speaker 18: Not an attorney either, but I do think that they
• 39:25
  Speaker 18: say that if you are, you know, a criminal, it's
• 39:28
  Speaker 18: better to not go on the stand so that you
• 39:30
  Speaker 18: don't perjure yourself or I guess that he doesn't, you know,
• 39:33
  Speaker 18: get caught up in some sort of web of lies
• 39:35
  Speaker 18: by the prosecution. So maybe it is smart for a
• 39:37
  Speaker 18: to not go on the stand. But let's be real,
• 39:39
  Speaker 18: and I know this is an unpopular position to take
• 39:42
  Speaker 18: when it comes to this case and everything that I've
• 39:43
  Speaker 18: heard so far. Pope Daddy might be the most repugnant
• 39:45
  Speaker 18: human being in the world, but according to this case,
• 39:48
  Speaker 18: everything seems to have been consensual. It seems like there's
• 39:50
  Speaker 18: a lot of money in baby oil and disgusting actions.
• 39:54
  Speaker 18: But I think some people in this case need to
• 39:56
  Speaker 18: take some sort of self responsibility. So if Puff Dady
• 39:58
  Speaker 18: gets off from this core case, it's going to be
• 40:01
  Speaker 18: like the og Simpson trail. I mean, he's going to
• 40:03
  Speaker 18: be a hero reader for all the wrong reasons. So
• 40:05
  Speaker 18: I kind of hope that that doesn't happen. But I
• 40:07
  Speaker 18: also hope that, you know, justice is served and that
• 40:10
  Speaker 18: he doesn't go to jail unnecessarily if he didn't really
• 40:12
  Speaker 18: commit the crime that they're accusing him.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: One, well, we don't know what the jurors think of
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: some of the footage they've seen, because no one else
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: has seen A Federal prosecutors on Monday show the jurors
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: around twenty minutes of footage from these so called freak offs,
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: and the videos were only viewed by the jury due
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: to the very graphic nature. Side don't I mean again,
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: just because it's repugnant doesn't mean it's illegal, So yeah,
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: it will be fascinating to see the outcome of this case.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: Before you go, Alex, I know you're very sad because
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: Pride Month is almost over. You've been very active throughout June.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: How close have you come to being arrested or perhaps
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: being assaulted with some of your antics?
• 41:00
  Speaker 18: You know, Rita, June is a good month when it
• 41:02
  Speaker 18: comes to clicks, but in reality, I'm ready for it
• 41:05
  Speaker 18: to be over because listen, I love my gay brothers
• 41:07
  Speaker 18: and sisters, but do we need a whole month to
• 41:09
  Speaker 18: just celebrate somebody's sexuality. I mean, come on, a week
• 41:12
  Speaker 18: is long enough, So I'll be happy when this holiday
• 41:16
  Speaker 18: is over. And unfortunately, I will say this, you know,
• 41:20
  Speaker 18: getting all these cliques and confronting drag queen story times. Sadly,
• 41:25
  Speaker 18: this stuff goes on even when it's not June. So
• 41:28
  Speaker 18: just because June's ending doesn't mean that all this weird
• 41:30
  Speaker 18: indoctrination is going to stop.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: Alex Stein, thank you so much for your time.
• 41:37
  Speaker 18: Thank you, Rita.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: Still to come. New research shows the dangers of medicalized
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: transgender treatments. Rachel Wong joins me with the latest Welcome
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: Back Now. Josh True Decide, a landmark case which gave
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Australian parents the authority to approve the prescription of puberty
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: blockers for their children is now expressing doubts about that verdict.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: Former family called Judge Steve Strickland has said the outcome
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: might have been different if today's medical evidence had been
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: available with revelations about the risks posed by puberty blockers.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: Johnny wan Now is CEO Women's Forum Australia. Rachel Wong Rachel,
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: I would have thought these risks were evident for some time,
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: even though some in the medical fraternity are reluctant to
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: stand against the transactivists who willed so much influence. That's right, rata.
• 42:42
  Speaker 8: These risks have been evident for quite some time. But
• 42:44
  Speaker 8: having someone like just Strickland come out and actually reiterate
• 42:49
  Speaker 8: them yet again, I think is very powerful and another
• 42:52
  Speaker 8: nail in the coffin of so called gender firm in care,
• 42:55
  Speaker 8: because what he's basically saying is that the current structures
• 42:58
  Speaker 8: in place that allowed children to rescis puity blockers may
• 43:01
  Speaker 8: no longer be viable given the new evidence that has
• 43:04
  Speaker 8: come to light over the last few years about the
• 43:06
  Speaker 8: harms and the reversibility of such treatments.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: And That's why we need a review, isn't it. We
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: really need to have a nationwide review that is transparent,
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: that is not full of activist research, where we just
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: look at the cold, hard facts, what the impacts of
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: these drugs are these treatments and look at the hard
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: data without all the ideology.
• 43:32
  Speaker 8: One hundred percent. And honestly, I'm not quite sure what
• 43:35
  Speaker 8: it's going to take for our leaders to hold this
• 43:37
  Speaker 8: review because there has been so many developments in relation
• 43:40
  Speaker 8: to youth gender medicine, both in Australia and overseas just
• 43:43
  Speaker 8: this year, and the mainstream media continues to ignore it.
• 43:47
  Speaker 8: Politicians continue to provide protection rackets for those reforming these treatments,
• 43:51
  Speaker 8: and the GENA clinics themselves try to continue as of
• 43:54
  Speaker 8: its business as usual. So I'm not sure what it's
• 43:56
  Speaker 8: going to take for our politicians to actually recognize the
• 44:00
  Speaker 8: harms that have been done to children, young people and
• 44:02
  Speaker 8: to actually act.
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: Well.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: This research just lends further weight to that. A new
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: study has revealed the risks to men of taking estrogen
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: men who identify as women. In this study, the use
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: of estrogen estrogen was linked to higher risks of cardiovascular disease.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: And significantly higher risks of testicular and breast cancer Rachel.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: If these findings are accurate, this is really frightening data.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: How many who went down this medicalized pass would have
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: made different decisions if they knew the full risks.
• 44:41
  Speaker 8: One hundred percent, and we know that there are similarly
• 44:44
  Speaker 8: devastating risks for women who are identifying as men and
• 44:47
  Speaker 8: who have been pumped full of testosterone. And I think,
• 44:51
  Speaker 8: quite frankly, what has been done to an incredibly vulnerable
• 44:54
  Speaker 8: population in terms of what has effectively been a medical
• 44:57
  Speaker 8: experiment over many years, is is criminal. And the fact
• 45:02
  Speaker 8: that they are doing it to children and young people
• 45:03
  Speaker 8: I think is unforgivable.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. I think we're going to see a lot of lawsuits,
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: and maybe it will take the lawsuits to see some
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: real meaningful change in this country. We're trailing the UK, Scandinavia,
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: much of the US now to a different story. Obstetrician
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: has told a parliamentary inquiry that hundreds of migrant women
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: are seeking abortions every year to avoid breaching their visa conditions.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: Obstetricians said they're providing services to five to six hundred
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: pregnant women per year. Rachel More can you tell me
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: about this? Why are they doing this if they don't
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: want to have an abortion.
• 45:48
  Speaker 8: Well, it seems from the evidence that's been given to
• 45:50
  Speaker 8: the Slavery Inquiry, so that these women have job visas
• 45:54
  Speaker 8: and there are certain restrictions around those I imagine around sort
• 45:57
  Speaker 8: of getting pregnant or maybe a pregnance they will interfere,
• 46:00
  Speaker 8: they feel with their job, and so they're fit feeling
• 46:03
  Speaker 8: forced to undertake abortions as opposed to continuing with their pregnancies.
• 46:09
  Speaker 8: And the doctor that gave the evidence of the inquiry,
• 46:11
  Speaker 8: she is someone who's performed abortions, and she likened this
• 46:14
  Speaker 8: to a form of modern slavery, and I think she's
• 46:17
  Speaker 8: absolutely right. And I'm actually quite surprised that the ABC
• 46:20
  Speaker 8: even reported on this and that this doctor even came forward,
• 46:23
  Speaker 8: because what we tend to see around the issue of
• 46:25
  Speaker 8: abortion is that there is a lot of reluctance to
• 46:28
  Speaker 8: talk about the negative consequences and the negative things that
• 46:31
  Speaker 8: are going on, because there's a reluctance to I guess
• 46:35
  Speaker 8: impact on what some see as an unfettered right and
• 46:37
  Speaker 8: what some see is healthcare. And so it's good to see.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: This coming out, but.
• 46:42
  Speaker 8: It is very tragic to hear that there are hundreds
• 46:44
  Speaker 8: of women just in this one place alone who have
• 46:47
  Speaker 8: felt they have been forced undergo abortions. And we know
• 46:50
  Speaker 8: that abortion coersion is something that is prominent throughout Australia,
• 46:55
  Speaker 8: not just in this place, whether it be in relation
• 46:57
  Speaker 8: to more explicit firms of quersion like domestic violence, or
• 47:01
  Speaker 8: more subtle forms of coersion like feeling unsupported or feeling like,
• 47:05
  Speaker 8: you know, you have to have a termination to be
• 47:08
  Speaker 8: able to keep your job. And I think that what
• 47:11
  Speaker 8: we're seeing, unfortunately at the political level, is MPs who
• 47:15
  Speaker 8: are obsessed with expanding access to abortion at any stage
• 47:18
  Speaker 8: for any reason, Whereas imagine if these politicives put as
• 47:22
  Speaker 8: much effort into actually addressing the underlying stitle issues and
• 47:25
  Speaker 8: inequalities that these.
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: Kinds of women are facing. Yeah, well said, it seems
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: if you talk about abortion in anything other than a
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: positive light, there are some who just get very upset
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: are reluctant to even report on it. So yeah, good
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: on the ABC for covering that story. Now, yesterday we
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: showed you BBC presenter Martine Croxwell who corrected the auto
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: Q from saying pregnant people to pregnant women.
• 47:54
  Speaker 21: Nearly six hundred heat related deaths are expected in the UK.
• 47:59
  Speaker 21: Malcolm Mystery, who was involved in the research, says that
• 48:02
  Speaker 21: the aged, pregnant people, women and those with pre existing
• 48:07
  Speaker 21: health conditions need to take precautions.
• 48:09
  Speaker 5: Ah.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: She has received so much praise online Rachel, including from JK. Rowling,
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: which is great to see. But I've got to say
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: the bar is pretty low when someone says something as
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: obvious as that and everyone's standing around applauding like it's
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: some profound moment.
• 48:28
  Speaker 8: I know absolutely. I mean, look, we have to take
• 48:30
  Speaker 8: these wins where we get them bo and that byrol
• 48:33
  Speaker 8: corection absolutely flawless and I think pretty much communicates what
• 48:37
  Speaker 8: a lot of us are feeling in relation to women
• 48:39
  Speaker 8: being raised and humanized with terms like pregnant people and
• 48:42
  Speaker 8: uterus owners and bleeders and so on. And I know
• 48:45
