  Speaker 1: Line from the Skying New Center.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: This is the Kenny Report. Thanks for joining me again.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: The crucial debate about climate and energy in this country continues,
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: and I'll show you the idiotic lies from the left
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: as well as the courageous and clever option promoted by
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: the coalition. In the United States, the virtual ghost of
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Joe Biden makes an appearance, and we have to ask
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: who's actually running the free world. Meanwhile, in Washington, the
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Secret Service admits the assassination attempt on Donald Trump was
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: an operational failure, but it leaves vital questions unanswered. Also,
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: women and their rights under attack from the trans lobby,
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: on the sports field and in the medical world. Got
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: a cracking panel tonight's stellar guests. Let's get into it.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: If you tune into the left wing media, the zeitgeist media,
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: that's most of the media, you think it's all is
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: going well in.
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: The most consequential nation in the world.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: You know, US President Joe Biden has withdrawn from the
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: re election race.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: The Vice President Kamala Harris.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Is raking in the money and the delegates, and she'll
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: get the nomination and take on the Republican candidate, former
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: President Donald Trump. But the situation is much weirder, much
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: more dystopian, and much more uncertain.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Than all of that, and we're all left to.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Wonder who's in charge, who is running the United States,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: who is leading the free world. As you might know,
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: no one has seen the president since last Thursday. That's
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: when Biden arrived back at his beach house in Delaware,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: apparently with a COVID.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Infection, and off to isolate and recover.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Instead, he bowed to lobbying, both publicly and privately, from
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Democrat colleagues, and he withdrew from the race. The leader
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: of the Free World made that announcement not through an
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: address to the nation, not a media conference, not a speech,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: not an address to his cab, not not even a
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: video message, but via a tweet. And today we finally
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: heard from the Vice President at the White House.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: Our President Joe Biden wanted to be here today. He
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: is feeling much better and recovering fast, and he looks
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: forward to getting back on the road. And I am
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: first hand witness that every day our President Joe Biden
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: fights for the American people, and we are deeply, deeply
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: grateful for his service to our nation.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Well if he fights on many days.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Many many of those days have been spent out of
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: sight at his beach house or at Camp David.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: And once more the President is out of sight.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: But when Kamala Harris gave campaign staff a pep talk,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: he turned up via a phone link.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: Mister President, thank you for calling in today.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: Over to you, Julie.
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: If I didn't have COVID, i'd be sitting there with you,
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: standing there with you. I'm so proud of.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: What you've all done.
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: And I just COVID on then keep me out of
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: out of people's ware for the next three or four days.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: But I'm going to be on the road and I'm
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: not going anywhere. I'm gonna just kept me away a
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: little bit.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Well, there he is.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: He almost seemingly the show has moved on, at least
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: as far as the Democrats are concerned and the media.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: And yet there he is, the sitting president, turning up
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: like the ghost of Banquet.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: We love Joe and Jill, we really do. They truly
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: are like family does, and we do.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Everybody here though it's mutual.
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: I know you were still there. You're not going anywhere, Joe.
• 4:01
  Speaker 8: I love you.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Look, these are unusual times, unprecedented times, and they are
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: deeply weird too.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Are watching you hear this clapping?
• 4:16
  Speaker 7: Can you see it?
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: You see?
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: While this theater plays out the real world and its
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: problems grind on. For instance, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Etya who arrived in Washington today, his country at war
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: with Hummas, under attack from hesbala Iran and the hutis
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: from Yemen, and there was no president or vice president
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: there to greet him.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: So we get back to the question of the moment.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Who is running the country And if Joe Biden is
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: not up to running a re election campaign, and that's
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: been clear for at least two years, then who has
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: been in running the country and what's going to change
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: over the next six months. Biden has almost six months
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: to run before he hands over to whoever wins the
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: November election.
• 5:12
  Speaker 9: I have suggested that the president should resign. The reason
• 5:15
  Speaker 9: is if everyone acknowledges that he is incapable of running
• 5:19
  Speaker 9: a campaign, then he's clearly incapable of running the country.
• 5:23
  Speaker 9: I mean, he has the nuclear codes, he has major
• 5:25
  Speaker 9: decisions it has to make every single hour of every day,
• 5:28
  Speaker 9: and he does not have the faculties to do so.
• 5:30
  Speaker 10: Now there's a constitutional process, the twenty fifth Amendment. If
• 5:34
  Speaker 10: Joe Biden can't run for president, he can't serve as president.
• 5:38
  Speaker 10: And if they want to take him down because he's
• 5:40
  Speaker 10: mentally incapable of serving.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Invoke the twenty fifth Amendment.
• 5:43
  Speaker 10: You don't get to sort of do this in the
• 5:44
  Speaker 10: most politically beneficial way for Democrats. If it's an actual problem,
• 5:48
  Speaker 10: they should take care of it the appropriate way.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what I mess saying.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Kamala Harris, one of the least impressive vice presidents in
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: modern times, is suddenly in campaign mode. President is infirm,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: and America is without leadership. One presidential candidate, the former Democrat,
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Robert Kennedy Jr. Is now an independent, but he's not
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: rejecting completely a possible reconciliation between the Democratic Party and
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: a member of its most famous political dynasty.
• 6:21
  Speaker 11: I think the Democrats would be it would make a
• 6:26
  Speaker 11: if they looked at the palling. I'm the only candidate
• 6:29
  Speaker 11: who can be Donald Trump, but I'm not going to
• 6:32
  Speaker 11: get into the Democratic Party as long as the system
• 6:35
  Speaker 11: seems rigged. If they had a ferry system, would I
• 6:39
  Speaker 11: would definitely look at it.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: So Kamala Harris doesn't have a challenger for the nomination
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: so far, and either way her choice of running mate
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: will be critical. Still, you only have to look at
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: what Republican aspirant Nicky Hayley said in January to understand
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: that the Democrat shambles could yet trouble Donald Trump.
• 7:01
  Speaker 12: Most Americans do not want a rematch between Biden and Trump.
• 7:09
  Speaker 12: The first party to retire it's eighty year old Candada
• 7:14
  Speaker 12: is going to be the party that wins this election.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Hey, one side has made the switch, but so far
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: they look likely to run the deeply unimpressive Kamala Harris
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: from the.
• 7:28
  Speaker 13: Moment we take back the White House from crooked Joe
• 7:31
  Speaker 13: Biden and Kamala I call her laugh and Kamala, do
• 7:34
  Speaker 13: you ever watch a laugh?
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: She's crazy? You know you can tell a lot by
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: a laugh.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: No, she's crazy, She's nuts.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: The American political system is putting on a pandomime the
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: likes of which we've never seen before. And it's got
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: a long way to go, with more surprises in store,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: no doubt. But between now and January, where is the
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: serious political leadership and where is the national purpose in America?
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: As I said.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Yesterday, if Joe Biden really had the best interests of
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: his country at heart, and if he really thought Kamala
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Harris is the president that America needs, he would have
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: resigned immediately so she could be sworn in now and
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: contest the election as the first female president. I reckon
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: we'll see more pressure on Biden to do just that.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: We'll have more on the US later with Kristen Tate,
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: but staying in the US for now, let's revisit the
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: assassination attempt against Donald Trump. As usual, there have been
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: plenty of wild conspiracy theories over this tragic shooting, but
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: I'll back the stuff up by authorities every time.
• 8:46
  Speaker 11: If you want to really see something that said, take
• 8:49
  Speaker 11: a look at what happened.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a former president injured, one man dead, two others injured.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: This was an unforgivable security lapse. Obviously, there is no
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: way a shooter should have been able to get onto
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: a rooftop with a clear line of sight to the stage,
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: and it's beyond belief that even minutes after the would
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: be assassin was spotted, police and Secret Service agents hadn't
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: tackled him or removed Trump. The Secret Service director Kimberly
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Cheetle that at one point suggested the sloping roof made
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: it unsafe for agents. Seriously, she said that, and a
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Florida congressman had to look for himself.
• 9:43
  Speaker 14: I'm a seventy year old man.
• 9:44
  Speaker 15: This is where this roof is not a gold For
• 9:47
  Speaker 15: somebody to tell me that Secret Service agents couldn't been here,
• 9:51
  Speaker 15: that's crazy.
• 9:53
  Speaker 8: So you can see that he.
• 9:57
  Speaker 15: Got a clear line of a clear line president.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: And today the Secret Service director fronted a congressional hearing.
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: Was there a conspiracy to kill President Trump? Absolutely not?
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: Then how did this happen?
• 10:14
  Speaker 9: And why are you still sitting here not turning in
• 10:17
  Speaker 9: your letter of resignation.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: There were calls from both sides of the political aisle
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: for Cheatle's resignation, and one of the most astonishing aspects
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: of her testimony.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: Was what she didn't know, what she failed to reveal.
• 10:32
  Speaker 16: Have you provided all audio and video recordings in your
• 10:34
  Speaker 16: possession to this committee, as we asked on July fifteenth? Yes?
• 10:37
  Speaker 12: Or no?
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: I would have to get back to you. That is
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: a no you're full of today.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: You're just being completely dishonest.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: So the incompetence of authorities was on display for all
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: to see in Pennsylvania that fateful day. But as to
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: finding out how and why it unfolded and who will
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: take responsibility, well that's going to take far too long,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: which means conspiracy theories will continue. Back in Australia, let's
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: look at the worst and the best aspects of our
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: climate and energy debate. Let's start with the opposition leader
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: calling out the Teals yesterday.
• 11:18
  Speaker 17: Climate two hundred is a front for Green candidates. They're
• 11:21
  Speaker 17: not disaffected Liberal candidates, they're Green candidates. And I just think,
• 11:27
  Speaker 17: look at what the Teals have done when they've been
• 11:30
  Speaker 17: in parliament. I mean, can anyone name anything that the
• 11:32
  Speaker 17: Teals have achieved since they've.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: Been in parliament. I mean there's nothing.
• 11:38
  Speaker 17: They've come in with an agenda to vote for the
• 11:41
  Speaker 17: Labor Party, to support the Greens, and they haven't achieved
• 11:44
  Speaker 17: anything in their local electorates.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Now that's a fair political attack, right, I've said similar myself,
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: But look at this reaction from one TiAl.
• 11:55
  Speaker 18: Look, I think it really shows that Peter Duttin still
• 11:57
  Speaker 18: has a problem with professional women are being strong and
• 12:01
  Speaker 18: independent minded.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Say what it's about women?
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Now, it's about gender, it's about identity politics. Instead of
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: addressing the substance Zalie. Stegel goes straight to the women
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: problem attack based on zero evidence. Sound familiar, Yeah, just
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: like a green just like labor. So point proven. I
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: guess she's as loopy left as they get. But have
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: a listen to this.
• 12:31
  Speaker 18: The coalition has no policy. So let's be really clear.
• 12:35
  Speaker 18: They are taking Australia out of the Paris Agreement if
• 12:37
  Speaker 18: they fail to nominate an improvement with Air twenty thirty
• 12:42
  Speaker 18: five target the Labor government they need to do better.
• 12:46
  Speaker 18: We are currently not on track to keeping temperatures within
• 12:49
  Speaker 18: sound boundaries from a climate risk point of view.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Lots of nonsense, they're sure, But what about the central
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: point that somehow the policies of the Australian Labor part
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: or the Australian Coalition parties can alter the global climate.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: This is factually absurd, scientifically ridiculous.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: It's idiotic.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: As you know, we produce barely more than one percent
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: of global emissions in Australia and we're reducing them while
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: global emissions surge. China's emissions grew by more than all
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: of Australia's emissions last year. So Stegel is just in fairyland.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Pretending our policies can change the climate. It's false advertising,
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: a political lie, and sadly some are silly enough to
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: fall for it.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: But it gets worse.
• 13:38
  Speaker 18: How does that affect me? Just look at your insurance premiums.
• 13:42
  Speaker 18: Our insurance premiums around Australia are going through the roof.
• 13:45
  Speaker 18: Whole communities are now uninsurable, which also means unlendable, so
• 13:50
  Speaker 18: you can't get a home mortgage, which will have huge
• 13:53
  Speaker 18: impacts for property prices. So it's really vital that people
• 13:57
  Speaker 18: understand this is not a problem for the future, it
• 14:00
  Speaker 18: is a problem now.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Oh dear, Stegel is actually suggesting if Australia reduces emissions
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: even more, not only will we change the world's climate,
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: but will reduce natural disasters. Our insurance premiums will then
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: be cheaper and we can all buy a house. Mind
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: numbingly dumb, wildly politically misleading. By the way, Stegel was
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: a snow skiing champ, as you might know, traveling around
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: the world to play.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: One of the most or indulge.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: In one of the most carbon intensive sports ever devised.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: She'd have a massive carbon footprint herself, so that's okay
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: for her. But she wants you to feel the emission's
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: reduction pain. Okay, that's the bad side of our energy debate.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: The clever and courageous side is what Peter Dutton and
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: the Coalition are doing. Far from doing nothing, as Stegel says,
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: they've had the courage to promote the only, proven, reliable
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: and the missions free energy source nuclear And this is
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: the fear campaign that came at them straight away. They're
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: going to have six large nuclear actors spread around the country.
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: Tell us where he has this so called plan on
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: nuclear reactors, where he won't tell you where they're going
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: to be.
• 15:19
  Speaker 17: But he's got to stump up with a policy including locations.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Well, not only has the Coalition actually designated seven locations,
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: now they're visiting them, being upfront with voters, talking to
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: locals about their plans, and openly discussing the costs and
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: benefits of a domestic nuclear power industry.
• 15:40
  Speaker 17: People know that jobs are going to finish when the
• 15:43
  Speaker 17: coal fire power station comes to end of life, and
• 15:46
  Speaker 17: the nuclear solution is going to be great for jobs,
• 15:50
  Speaker 17: great for economic activity. It's a twenty four to seven
• 15:53
  Speaker 17: power source and it's used by nineteen of the top
• 15:56
  Speaker 17: twenty economies in the world, Australia is the only outlier.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: Look, it's an absolutely critical debate and Dutton and the
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Coalition are actually treating voters like intelligent human beings. It's
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: a refreshing change for the sake of our democracy and
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: our country. Let's hope the intelligent reality triumphs while the
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: idiotic lies are exposed.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: Let's going out of the shadow.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Resources Minister Susan McDonald joining us live from Mackay in Queensland.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Good to speak to you, Susan. Congratulations on what you're
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: doing on energy and nuclear. It's been too tough for
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: governments of all persuasions, state and federal for so many
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: decades in this country. But I want to get back
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: to this argument Zalie Stegel was running and I want
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: to know why the Coalition doesn't contest this argument. Why
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: don't you actually point out that the sort of stuff
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: we're hearing from her and the Greens and even the
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: left of Labor pretending that our actions will change the
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: climate is absolutely nut as insane. I mean, sure you
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: can say we need to do our bit to fit
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: in with the rest of the world, but don't pretend
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: that what Australia does is going to turn this into
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: the land of milk and honey.
• 17:14
  Speaker 16: It's absolutely crazy, isn't it. These loopy propositions from the
• 17:18
  Speaker 16: Teals and the Greens are absolutely ridiculous. And what we're
• 17:23
  Speaker 16: seeing from labor right across the country is not about
• 17:27
  Speaker 16: having a sensible, practical discussion with Queenslanders and Australians. It's
• 17:31
  Speaker 16: about a scare campaign. It's about not acknowledging that the
• 17:35
  Speaker 16: rest of the leading economies in the world are using
• 17:37
  Speaker 16: nuclear energy. This is all practical things that we want
• 17:42
  Speaker 16: to adopt in Australia. But most importantly, Chris, we want
• 17:45
  Speaker 16: to have the discussion with Australians in advance of the
• 17:48
  Speaker 16: election and let them make up their own minds. I
• 17:51
  Speaker 16: think Australians are ready to have that discussion and they
• 17:54
  Speaker 16: won't be put off by these kind of childish games
• 17:57
  Speaker 16: that are being played and the ridiculous propositions put forward
• 18:00
  Speaker 16: by particularly the Tills and the Greens parties that never
• 18:04
  Speaker 16: have to come up with governing solutions. They're just alarmist
• 18:09
  Speaker 16: and their retric is wrong.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, good on you for treating voters like adults. And
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: of course people are up for this debate. They can
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: see we need energy and nuclear is the way if
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: we don't want emissions. But what about your own colleagues
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: in the LMP there in Queensland, you're going through an
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: election campaign at the moment.
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: They don't want a bar of it.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: They're saying that they won't abide a nuclear reactor in Queensland.
• 18:32
  Speaker 16: Well, I think what they've been very clear about is
• 18:35
  Speaker 16: that they are going to get in and provide the
• 18:36
  Speaker 16: maintenance on Callide power station. They're going to ensure that
• 18:40
  Speaker 16: there is still affordable base load power being dispatched for Queenslanders,
• 18:45
  Speaker 16: whether it be families or businesses in the near Let
• 18:48
  Speaker 16: me jump in.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Though they're likely to be the government after the election,
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: do you think that they're seriously opposed to nuclear energy
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: or they're just trying to put this one off until
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: the election, in which case may be upfront with people
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: about what their real attitude is to nuclear power.
• 19:06
  Speaker 16: Well, I think that they're addressing what they can before them,
• 19:08
  Speaker 16: which is that the current restrictions on nuclear energy and
• 19:12
  Speaker 16: the EPBC and other places is out of their control,
• 19:16
  Speaker 16: and so for that reason they are addressing the levers
• 19:19
  Speaker 16: that they possibly can, which is providing electricity to Queenslanders
• 19:23
  Speaker 16: at an affordable rate. That is why it's so important
• 19:27
  Speaker 16: that we continue to have the affordable energy being generated
• 19:31
  Speaker 16: by Callide and other power stations across Queensland working to
• 19:35
  Speaker 16: its maximum capacity right now and not doing what Labour's done.
• 19:39
  Speaker 16: They have never been upfront with Queenslanders about running down
• 19:42
  Speaker 16: the maintenance on these power stations, about not providing a
• 19:47
  Speaker 16: clear pathway for a transition. It's been all eggs in
• 19:50
  Speaker 16: one basket with renewables. It's destroying regional communities, it's breaking
• 19:55
  Speaker 16: up families and agricultural places. That's the kind of trickery
• 20:00
  Speaker 16: that labor has been involved in. I think that David
• 20:03
  Speaker 16: christ of Fool has been very clear about he will
• 20:05
  Speaker 16: get back to the business of what he can do
• 20:07
  Speaker 16: right now.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: And we definitely need, definitely need much more gas no
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: matter what we do. I'll get you back on soon
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: to talk about gas and some of the threats to
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: expanding gas production in the country.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us, Susan.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Susan McDonald there, who's the shadow Resources Minister. I want
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: to get back to what's unfolding in the United States
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: because it impacts on the whole free world. Of course,
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: I want to bring in Tom Switzer from the Center
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: for Independent Studies joining us.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: Again, Life from Sydney. Good to talk to you again. Tom.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Last time we chatted we were going to get on
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: the foreign policy. I hope we get there in a moment.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: But first up this congressional hearing.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: With the director of the Secret Service as to what
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: happened with that failed assassination attempt.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: It just seems terrible obviously that it was a deplorable.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Failure of security practices on the day, but they're so
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: backward in coming forward with some of the obvious answers
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: and obvious details. It helps us to play into all
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: these wild conspiracy theories that are so familiar to us
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: in American politics. Right.
• 21:04
  Speaker 15: I think that's right. I think it does show that
• 21:08
  Speaker 15: if you listen to her testimony carefully, this is her
• 21:11
  Speaker 15: testimony to the US House Committee overnight, it's pretty clear
• 21:15
  Speaker 15: she couldn't explain what happened two weekends ago, or why
• 21:20
  Speaker 15: I would be assassin was able to get so close
• 21:23
  Speaker 15: to a rifle to nearly kill Donald Trump. Remember we're
• 21:26
  Speaker 15: talking about one hundred meters away from the former president
• 21:29
  Speaker 15: and cheat or the Secret Service head. She just deflected
• 21:33
  Speaker 15: questions with the bureaucratic defense.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: So it was not a good look.
• 21:38
  Speaker 15: And I think the whole episode showed that it wasn't
• 21:43
  Speaker 15: just Republicans objecting her to scrutiny, it was Democrats as well.
• 21:46
  Speaker 15: So it's one of those few issues in Washington, Chris,
• 21:49
  Speaker 15: we have a bipartisan consensus. She was copying it from
• 21:52
  Speaker 15: both sides.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, both sides of the aisle calling for her resignation,
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: and I think she will go once this investigation is
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: dealt with. That's one little prediction that I think we
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: could all safely make. Let's get back to the situation.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: I've been making the point at the top of the
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: program that we don't really know who's running the US
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: at the moment. You could argue that's been the case
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: for many, many months because Joe Biden has clearly not
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: been up to it. He's so often been out of sight,
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: out of mind. He's again disappeared. We heard him on
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: a phone overnight, but he's not been seen since last Thursday.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: Kamala Harris now is obviously completely consumed with raising money,
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: getting delegates votes, and campaigning.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: Is it just a bureaucracy as ever?
• 22:33
  Speaker 15: Running the show in Washington possibly, but you know, he
• 22:36
  Speaker 15: has six months to go and he's legally obligated to
• 22:39
  Speaker 15: complete his term, and the Republicans in some respects aught
• 22:43
  Speaker 15: to be careful what they wish for, because if they
• 22:45
  Speaker 15: call for him to resign and he does leave before
• 22:48
  Speaker 15: his terms up, gets who president. It's Kamala Harris, So
• 22:51
  Speaker 15: she'll be president as well as as a running for
• 22:54
  Speaker 15: president as a Democrat candidate, which is a huge advantage.
• 22:56
  Speaker 15: You'd have to think.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: This is what I think the found found of Kamala Harris.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: I think she's been terribly frightening and ineffectual as a
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: vice president. But my point is if Joe Biden really
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: thinks that she is the best option to succeed him
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: as president, then he would be doing the party in
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: his country a great favor by resigning.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Now pretty easy to.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: Get a letter from a doctor telling him he needs
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: to pull stumps, and she could be the president within days,
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: and as you say, have that advantage of incumbency as
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: the first female president going into the November.
• 23:29
  Speaker 15: The reality is that Biden will still be surrounded by
• 23:32
  Speaker 15: the same foreign policy officials in the same cabinet that
• 23:34
  Speaker 15: he's had for much of the last three and a
• 23:36
  Speaker 15: half years, so I don't think a lot will change. Remember,
• 23:38
  Speaker 15: there is a thing called the deep state, and the
• 23:41
  Speaker 15: US government consists of three branch as the executive branch,
• 23:43
  Speaker 15: the legislative branch, the judicial branch. I don't think there'd
• 23:47
  Speaker 15: be a huge drama for him to stay in. My
• 23:49
  Speaker 15: sense is that if you read the more intelligent conservatives
• 23:53
  Speaker 15: at the Wall Street Journal editorial page, they're warning against
• 23:56
  Speaker 15: this because it could send a terrible signal to potential
• 23:58
  Speaker 15: adversaries to exploit the moment of weakness if there is
• 24:01
  Speaker 15: a change at the top. Now, I don't have faith
• 24:04
  Speaker 15: that he should stay there for the next six months.
• 24:06
  Speaker 15: The bigger issue is whether Harris is really capable of
• 24:08
  Speaker 15: beating Donald Trump. And look, there are pros and cons.
• 24:11
  Speaker 15: I mean, on the one hand, she's only fifty nine,
• 24:13
  Speaker 15: which is the same age as Anthony Alberzi when he
• 24:16
  Speaker 15: became Prime Minister, so she can turn the age issue
• 24:18
  Speaker 15: back against Trump, who's nearly twenty years her senior. But
• 24:21
  Speaker 15: then on the other hand, she's got a lot of weaknesses,
• 24:23
  Speaker 15: including the Biden agenda, inflation, the lax immigration controls, and
• 24:28
  Speaker 15: of course disorder abroad. So there are all weaknesses she
• 24:31
  Speaker 15: has to wear and defend during the course of the
• 24:34
  Speaker 15: next four months.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: It's going to be a fascinating period. Thanks so much
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: for joining us again, Tom, I appreciate Tom Switzer there
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: from the Center for Independent Studies. Were to get to
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: a break. On the other side of that, we're going
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: to talk about Britney Higgins being forced to sell her
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: home in France and also the Greens now pushing a
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: plan to make your home worth less. Let's go to
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: the panel now with Suzi O'Brien from the hair Son
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: joining us from Melbourne and from Canbras Stephen Senta, Tempo
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: breakfast host from Radio two Double C.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: What happens?
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: What a show in Washington? Susie in the US?
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Can you believe this thing?
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: And it's just going to keep going for the next
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: three months and then all the way to January.
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: Really it's just a circus.
• 25:19
  Speaker 19: Oh, it's just going to be fascinating. The idea of
• 25:22
  Speaker 19: Kamala Harris as the prosecutor versus.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: The perpetrator Trump.
• 25:26
  Speaker 19: I mean, that's the kind of ecotomy, dichotomy that she
• 25:29
  Speaker 19: is going to try and exploit. She's setting herself up
• 25:32
  Speaker 19: as young well, which is funny she's fifty nine. Suddenly
• 25:36
  Speaker 19: that's young because she's twenty years younger than her opponent.
• 25:39
  Speaker 19: And you know, we're already seeing a lot of social
• 25:42
  Speaker 19: media memes. You know, Kamala is bratt which course means
• 25:45
  Speaker 19: cool apparently. And so we've seen nearly eighty million dollars
• 25:50
  Speaker 19: worth of money pour into the coffers of the Democratic campaign.
• 25:54
  Speaker 19: It certainly has in enthused and excited a lot of
• 25:59
  Speaker 19: particularly smaller donors, women donors who have.
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: The money to spend.
• 26:04
  Speaker 19: So it's just going to be an absolutely fascinating thing.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, that's going to be fascinating. But I
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: think what's going to be great about it is this
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: all going to fall in a heap because they're excited.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: Now they're going to realize that Kamala's a dud. She
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: hasn't know the difference between South Korea and a North Korea.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: And anyway, let's have a look at a little bit
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: of what she had to say Stephen today.
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: Joe Biden's legacy of accomplishment over the past three years
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: is unmatched in Martyn history. In one term, he has
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: already yes, you may.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: Laugh, Yeah, seriously, Stephens, she's trying to say that in
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: he is one term or three quarters of a term,
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: he's done more than most president get to do in.
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: Two Seriously, Pizzi Barnam must be looking down thinking why
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: didn't I think of this? And it's the greatest circus
• 26:55
  Speaker 8: I've ever seen. I mean, the biggest concern out of
• 26:59
  Speaker 8: this is the country of three hundred and fifty million people.
• 27:02
  Speaker 8: And if you look at right across the board, the
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: only person that I've got to say has impressed me
• 27:06
  Speaker 8: through it. Well, there's two people that have impressed me
• 27:08
  Speaker 8: in American politics in recent times. Jdvans I thought was
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: excellent when he made his speech at the RNC, and
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: Tulsi Gabbett I think has been absolutely sensational. Outside of
• 27:18
  Speaker 8: that three hundred and fifty million people, and all they
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: can come up with is a bunch of clowns. When
• 27:23
  Speaker 8: you go right across the spectrum here, I mean what
• 27:26
  Speaker 8: a debarkle. I mean, the Great Republic seriously has the
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: worst political system on the face of the planet. That's
• 27:33
  Speaker 8: the only way this can be described.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Shed a tear now with you. I think the best outcome.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: Now I've come to the view that the best outcome
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: is a Trump victory and then after that yet two
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: years of JD Vans. So so two terms of Jdvans.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: We'll see what happens though. Now let's bring it back
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: to Australia. Well, this has got a global tinge as well.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: And Susie you've written about this in the Herald Sun.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: You've got a lot of sympathy for Britney Higgins, but
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: you're very critical of her legal stouts with Linda Reynolds
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: and the fact that now she's looking like, having saw
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: this house in France to cover her legal bills, it
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: would seem monumental stupidity and maybe even vindictiveness have played
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: a role here.
• 28:14
  Speaker 19: Oh, it's really fascinating, Chris, because her when she left
• 28:20
  Speaker 19: Australia at the end of last year for France, you know,
• 28:24
  Speaker 19: in a flurry of cream elegance at the airport that
• 28:29
  Speaker 19: we all got to admire on social media. They said, oh,
• 28:31
  Speaker 19: you know, she's been trolled so much, she has to
• 28:35
  Speaker 19: escape Australia to escape the social media trolls. Well, actually
• 28:39
  Speaker 19: what's happened is she's got to come back here now
• 28:41
  Speaker 19: to face the music because she was the one who.
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: Was trolling Linda Reynolds.
• 28:45
  Speaker 19: And as soon as Justice Michael Lee ruled that there
• 28:49
  Speaker 19: was no nothing to be seen here.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: There wasn't any kind of campaign.
• 28:53
  Speaker 19: The Liberal Party weren't trying to stop her from making
• 28:55
  Speaker 19: these rape allegations that you just know to ching Chich
• 29:00
  Speaker 19: there will be a defamation case and so you know
• 29:03
  Speaker 19: her Brittany Higgins. People are saying that she's paid a
• 29:07
  Speaker 19: very high price for speaking out about this, making these
• 29:11
  Speaker 19: sexual allegations.
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: Well, in fact, the opposite is true.
• 29:14
  Speaker 19: She received two point four million dollars from federal taxpayers,
• 29:18
  Speaker 19: of which who knows how much has left, and she
• 29:20
  Speaker 19: used that to buy this house. So what she actually
• 29:26
  Speaker 19: the high cost was not speaking out. The high cost
• 29:29
  Speaker 19: was trolling Linda Reynolds, and now she will pay the price.
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: I think it's terrible what she did to Lynda Reynolds.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: I think it was untruthful and terrible, and what she
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: should do is apologize and try and settle it obviously
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: and move on. But now they remind me a bit
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: of when South Park did Harry and Meghan's World privacy
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: to her.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: These two are like that us leave us alone.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: But as you say, everything's in social media, Steven, let's
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: get your thoughts on the Greens now and their housing
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: policies that they really want to do everything they can
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: to make housing cheaper, and that means lowering the value
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: of those people are investing.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: That this is always the balance in housing policy.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Most people, if they own a house or have a mortgage,
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: it's their biggest investment.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: We don't want our values to go downwards.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: We need to need to see that asset to grow
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: over time.
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: Well, sit down for this, Chris, because were the first
• 30:22
  Speaker 8: and last time you ever hear me agree with the
• 30:23
  Speaker 8: Greens now. I don't agree with their ideas on capital gains,
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: tack discounts and negative gearing and all of that stuff.
• 30:29
  Speaker 8: But the reality is that we've now finally got a
• 30:31
  Speaker 8: party in Australia talking about getting people into home ownership
• 30:35
  Speaker 8: because most of the discussion has been about making people
• 30:38
  Speaker 8: permanent tenants of the government, and that is not the answer,
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: because there's more to home ownership than just a roof
• 30:44
  Speaker 8: over your head. And in the past we've had government
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: agencies and government housing agencies that allowed many Australians to
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: get into their own home and started them on the
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: property cycle, the property wheel, as you might put it.
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: I don't necessarily think in principle this is a bad idea,
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: how it's actually managed and what the detail is that's
• 31:04
  Speaker 8: always going to be the deal here. But the reality
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: is our property market is overinflated and it's preventing people
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: from getting into the market unless they're already in it now.
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: Unless you're going to sell your house tomorrow, a reduction
• 31:18
  Speaker 8: in value is not going to make that much difference
• 31:20
  Speaker 8: to homeowners. It will make it a difference into investors,
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: no about that, but it may actually keep them in
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: the marketplace.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: We've got to get people into home ownership, absolutely, but
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: there's all sorts of ways to skin that cat.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: But let the debate continue. We nearly out of time.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: I just want to get your thoughts, Susie on what's
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: his name, the young fellow Prince George.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: He's turning eleven.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: They've put out photos of him, right, this is William's son. Now,
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: I have a son who's about to turn eleven, And
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: I said, when we're doing our production meeting, why would
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: we show a photo of some eleven year old kid.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: It just seems invasive, irrelevant. But he's going to be
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: our king. I'm told he's second in line to be king.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: So it's a hell of a burden he whears, isn't it.
• 32:01
  Speaker 19: And that's such a nice photo, although I can't imagine
• 32:04
  Speaker 19: my son when he was eleven wearing a blazer with
• 32:07
  Speaker 19: his hair looking like that.
• 32:09
  Speaker 18: No.
• 32:10
  Speaker 19: I think, you know, at a time when the Royals
• 32:13
  Speaker 19: are facing so many crises of health and so on,
• 32:16
  Speaker 19: I think they're trying to show that the next generation
• 32:20
  Speaker 19: is solid. They're going to be ready when the time comes,
• 32:23
  Speaker 19: and it's all about the legacy. It's all about the
• 32:26
  Speaker 19: airs and the spares coming through, and that's what they're
• 32:29
  Speaker 19: really trying to show. They're trying to find sure things
• 32:31
  Speaker 19: up for generations to come.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: Fine, young fellow, I just wish you'd have a normal life.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: And go and get a real job. That'd be great.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: Thanks for joining us. To appreciate your time. We'll catch
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: you next week. But to get to a break. On
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: the other side, we're going to talk about women's soccer
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: on the line as a trans inclusive team continues an
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: undefeated season. Also, theories behind Biden's absence.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: Continue to grow.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: I want to get back to this inquiry in Victoria
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: into women's pain, which is welcoming submissions from Transgender Women.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: I'm joined now by Giggle founder Sal Grove, a live
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: from the Gold Coast.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: Good to talk to you against South.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: We're talked about this last night with the Gematoniini and
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: Caroline there. Also, it just seems terrible that you're looking
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: at women's pain issues which obviously are gender specific, yet
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: trans women, that is biological men are encouraged to feed
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: into this.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: Is there nothing that women can just have for women?
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: Apparently not.
• 33:35
  Speaker 14: I mean that's really the problem at the moment.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: What is the point of.
• 33:39
  Speaker 14: Having a study about women's pain if men can just
• 33:43
  Speaker 14: identify into the study, Like it's one hundred and fifty
• 33:47
  Speaker 14: three million dollars they're spending on this study that is
• 33:50
  Speaker 14: going to what tell us all that some women have
• 33:53
  Speaker 14: testicular issues. There's no point to it. Women's health is
• 33:57
  Speaker 14: actually incredibly under recent and it needs more attention to it.
• 34:02
  Speaker 7: But this isn't it.
• 34:03
  Speaker 14: Also, it would be interesting if they did a study
• 34:06
  Speaker 14: of men versus women pain, like that could be really
• 34:09
  Speaker 14: interesting findings them. This is a study about women's pain,
• 34:12
  Speaker 14: and they're saying, oh, these men who consider themselves to
• 34:16
  Speaker 14: be women for whatever reason, should be included in it.
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: Why should we pay attention to this? Why should anyone
• 34:22
  Speaker 7: pay for it? It's absurd, It.
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: Is literally insane.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: We're supposed to be a science based, a rational society.
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: As you say, women's health issues need to be researched.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: They are specific, and let's look at the particular trans issues.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: Sure it's not nothing against trans but what can they
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: possibly tell us about women's pain?
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: Nothing?
• 34:43
  Speaker 14: Absolutely nothing. Our bodies are different, like just the actual
• 34:47
  Speaker 14: reality of the earth is that men and women are different,
• 34:53
  Speaker 14: and on a biological level, that's where it's the most obvious.
• 34:57
  Speaker 14: And so you know, if you're going to have these
• 34:59
  Speaker 14: kinds of studies, it's just not the time to just
• 35:01
  Speaker 14: be valid eating somebody's delusion. This is the whole problem
• 35:05
  Speaker 14: with the issue is that once you are making this
• 35:09
  Speaker 14: claim that some men are actually women, and then you
• 35:12
  Speaker 14: have governments and institutions and organizations valid eating that, there
• 35:15
  Speaker 14: can't be any exceptions to it, because then the whole
• 35:18
  Speaker 14: thing comes crashing down.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: I want to go to another example which shows a
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: similar train of thought. There's an amateur soccer club in
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: Sydney that has five transgender women playing in it. They're undefeated.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: They've scored like fifty nine goals to three. There are
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: claims that women playing against them have had their legs
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: broken at least in one case, and other clubs and
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: other women are not playing anymore because they're up against
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: these five biological men.
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: And there was a meeting.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: Going back a couple of months between the club and
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: the clubs and the association, and the Daily Telegraph has
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: done a re enactment of this meeting so that people
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: can understand what went on and just have a listen
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: to this reasoning.
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: Why don't transgender women play in the mixed comp. We
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: have a mixed comp.
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: No one could argue if they played there. Why don't
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: they play there?
• 36:11
  Speaker 20: I think largely because the trans women playing with us
• 36:14
  Speaker 20: what they are looking for. They want to be seen
• 36:17
  Speaker 20: as women. They want to be part of a club
• 36:19
  Speaker 20: that's a women's club. That's a really positive and affirming
• 36:23
  Speaker 20: thing for them.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: Yes, so there's the rationale that the transgender women want
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: to plan in a women's comp because it makes them
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: feel like women. But have a listen to what the
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: reports say. The association said.
• 36:39
  Speaker 21: We want people to register as the player based on
• 36:41
  Speaker 21: the gender they identify with. As an association, we pride
• 36:44
  Speaker 21: ourselves on being inclusive. We will be there for the
• 36:47
  Speaker 21: first game of the season, and we will be doing
• 36:49
  Speaker 21: a very big social media campaign saying we feel so
• 36:52
  Speaker 21: proud that we are such a safe association and this
• 36:54
  Speaker 21: club is such a safe club that these men have
• 36:56
  Speaker 21: decided to come out and identify as women, and we
• 36:59
  Speaker 21: will promote that intensely.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: So they're doing this as an active virtue signaling, and
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: they're saying that you join as to the gender you
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: identify with. What's so wrong with actually sticking to the
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: biological gender.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: I've got nothing against trans people. I've got trans.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: Friends, but I'm afraid if you have a male's body,
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: you need to either play in the male comp or
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: a mixed comp. You can't enforce yourself on women and girls. Surely,
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: of course.
• 37:27
  Speaker 14: I mean, this is the whole problem, is that every
• 37:30
  Speaker 14: decision that is made is made to validate the delusions
• 37:33
  Speaker 14: of these men, and they justify it by saying it's
• 37:36
  Speaker 14: on the basis of inclusion. What they don't mention is
• 37:40
  Speaker 14: at the moment that a man is included in.
• 37:42
  Speaker 7: Women's sports, a woman is excluded.
• 37:44
  Speaker 14: It's just a basic numbers that's before you even get
• 37:47
  Speaker 14: into the safety of it just based on numbers, a
• 37:49
  Speaker 14: woman is excluded, So I don't actually buy their argument
• 37:52
  Speaker 14: that it's for inclusion. No, as you said, it's for
• 37:54
  Speaker 14: virtue signaling. It's just to keep this lie and this
• 37:57
  Speaker 14: nonsense going.
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: Problem.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: It's a hell of a problem. Sol thanks so much
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: for speaking to us about it. I appreciate it. Sal
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: Grover there who speaks out on these issues and cops
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: a lot of flat for it. But I know most
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: of you at least would agree absolutely with her rationale
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: and mine. Now let's get back to the US now,
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: and we've finally got proof of life from Joe Biden.
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: We've heard from them, but we haven't actually seen him.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: He bizarrely find into that campaign event for Kamala Harris.
• 38:25
  Speaker 6: I want people to remember that what we have done
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: has been incredible, and we get so much more. We're
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: going to get done. And so I want to say
• 38:32
  Speaker 6: hello to Kamala.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: She can hear me.
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: I know she's going to be speaking shortly, and I
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: want to say that the team embrace her. She's the best.
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and once more, I've caught up with Kristen Tate
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: to get her impressions.
• 38:45
  Speaker 7: Biden has not.
• 38:46
  Speaker 22: Been physically seen since he dropped off the map on Thursday. Yes,
• 38:50
  Speaker 22: he supposedly called into this Kamala Harris event, but we
• 38:54
  Speaker 22: have not seen the president of the United States, and
• 38:57
  Speaker 22: there are people asking questions right now. Is it possle,
• 39:00
  Speaker 22: for example, that the president had some sort of medical
• 39:02
  Speaker 22: emergency last week that he has.
• 39:05
  Speaker 7: Not recovered from and cannot recover from. Is he on his.
• 39:08
  Speaker 22: Deathbed or did he really just have COVID And was
• 39:12
  Speaker 22: he confronted with poles that he can't beat Trump and
• 39:14
  Speaker 22: decided on his own to step down. We don't know
• 39:17
  Speaker 22: the answers to those questions, but one thing is very clear.
• 39:20
  Speaker 22: Chris Joe Biden is not running this country right now.
• 39:23
  Speaker 22: He may have not been running it for a long time.
• 39:25
  Speaker 22: We have no idea who's in control right now.
• 39:28
  Speaker 23: Yeah, it's a bizarre situation because it's the easiest thing
• 39:31
  Speaker 23: in the world for him to organize a camera and
• 39:33
  Speaker 23: doing an address to the nation, whether he's in isolation
• 39:36
  Speaker 23: or not. It's been done many times before, yet we
• 39:39
  Speaker 23: haven't seen from him. Let's have a listen to a
• 39:41
  Speaker 23: bit of what more of what he had to say
• 39:43
  Speaker 23: with Kamala Harris here and here he is talking about his.
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: Decision to quit.
• 39:48
  Speaker 6: I know, yesterday's news is surprising and har ar for
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: you to hear, but it was the right thing to do.
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: It's I know it's hard because you've poured your heart
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: and soul into me, so help us win this thing,
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: Help me get this nomination, help me win the nomination
• 40:05
  Speaker 6: and then go on to win the win the presidency.
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: But you know, you're an amazing team. But we've got
• 40:12
  Speaker 6: a great, great I think we made the right decision.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he says, as a surprise, and it was a
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: hard thing for the campaign team to hear. I think no,
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: it wasn't a surprise, and it was bloody good news
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: for the campaign team because they can actually move on
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: to a new ticket now. But they tell us that
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: Kamala Harris reckons she's got about half the delegates she
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: needs full the nomination already in the bag.
• 40:38
  Speaker 22: Yes, that's what we're hearing, But I'm not certain it
• 40:41
  Speaker 22: will be Kamala Harris.
• 40:42
  Speaker 7: She doesn't pull very well against Donald Trump.
• 40:46
  Speaker 22: So I think right now the Democrats are deciding what
• 40:49
  Speaker 22: will be. Of course, all of the potential names we've
• 40:51
  Speaker 22: heard thrown into the mix for over a year.
• 40:53
  Speaker 7: Now at Gavin Newsom.
• 40:55
  Speaker 22: They've all said that they endorsed Kamala, but they have
• 40:57
  Speaker 22: to say that right now. I do find it and
• 41:00
  Speaker 22: of humorous, though, Chris, that Biden and the Democrats are
• 41:03
  Speaker 22: still going with this line about beating Trump and oh,
• 41:07
  Speaker 22: we need to save democracy. I mean, this is the
• 41:09
  Speaker 22: party that just forced aside the candidate who was voted
• 41:13
  Speaker 22: on by their own constituents and will now replace him
• 41:17
  Speaker 22: without any real impactful voice from the voters they claim
• 41:22
  Speaker 22: to care so much about. So I don't want to
• 41:24
  Speaker 22: hear any more from the Democrats about caring so much
• 41:26
  Speaker 22: about our precious democracy.
• 41:29
  Speaker 7: All they care about is power.
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: It is a style line, no doubt, but I'm going
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: to make you hear it again because he was Joe
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: Biden speaking on the threat of Donald Trump.
• 41:41
  Speaker 6: Well, we still need to save this democracy and Trump
• 41:45
  Speaker 6: is still a danger to the community, is a danger
• 41:47
  Speaker 6: to the nation.
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah there we got Christian. You know.
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: Well, the only line I've got is that the Orange
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: mad Man is bad. But this other point about desperately
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: trying to save democracy. I come back to this point,
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: and I don't think enough people have been.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Making this point.
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: If Joe Biden believes he's not up to another term,
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: and if he believes that Kamala Harris is the best
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: person to lead the United States, then the obvious thing
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: for him to do would have been to resign from
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: the presidency so that she would be sworn in this week,
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: not spending her week trying to muscle up the.
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: Delegates for the convention.
• 42:25
  Speaker 22: Right, I mean, if he's not fit to run for office,
• 42:27
  Speaker 22: how in the world is he fit to serve? And
• 42:30
  Speaker 22: I think a lot of people are slowly starting to
• 42:34
  Speaker 22: come to that realization. And as I mentioned before, we
• 42:38
  Speaker 22: don't know who's actually running the show here, but the Democrats.
• 42:42
  Speaker 22: This is what they're going with. And apparently, to them,
• 42:44
  Speaker 22: democracy means lying to conceal your candidate's mental fitness, then
• 42:49
  Speaker 22: rigging your primary by blocking alternatives, and then when you're
• 42:53
  Speaker 22: exposed for lying, staging a coup to remove your own candidate,
• 42:57
  Speaker 22: and forcibly shuffling in someone else with.
• 43:00
  Speaker 7: Input from the voters.
• 43:01
  Speaker 22: It's all really gross and anti democratic, and I suspect
• 43:06
  Speaker 22: they're going to lose a lot of moderate voters because
• 43:09
  Speaker 22: of all of this as people start to understand what's
• 43:12
  Speaker 22: really going on here.
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you did right, because it absolutely.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: I'm the cats the how argument about being the custodians
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: of democracy. They are playing with democracy as their own plaything.
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: And it's a line that the House speak of. The
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: Louisiana Republican Mike Johnson was on to have a listen.
• 43:31
  Speaker 9: I have suggested that the president should resign. The reason
• 43:34
  Speaker 9: is if everyone acknowledges that he is incapable of running
• 43:38
  Speaker 9: a campaign, then he's clearly incapable of running the country.
• 43:42
  Speaker 9: I mean, he has the nuclear codes, he has major
• 43:44
  Speaker 9: decisions he has to make every single hour of every day,
• 43:47
  Speaker 9: and he does not have the faculties to do so.
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: Now the howse speaking Mike Johnson there, now, Christian, this
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: is a powerful point because for our audience he it
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: just remember, of course, Joe Biden remains the president throughout
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: the campaign under the American system, you know, he's president
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: till January. So the whole time that Kamala Harris is
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: out there or someone else trying to say vote for me,
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: Joe Biden's in charge admitting that he's not up to
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: another term. And the fact is he hasn't resigned. So
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: the question that you put, the very pointed question is
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: going to be there right throughout the campaign. That is
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: who is actually running the country.
• 44:27
  Speaker 22: Yes, and it's actually terrifying because our enemies around the
• 44:30
  Speaker 22: world are watching what's going on right now, and the
• 44:33
  Speaker 22: time to do something bad and nefarious would be between
• 44:37
  Speaker 22: now in January.
• 44:38
  Speaker 7: Because the entire world knows we are weak.
• 44:41
  Speaker 22: Our enemies know this, they know that nobody's in charge
• 44:44
  Speaker 22: right now.
• 44:44
  Speaker 7: That is a terrifying prospect.
• 44:48
  Speaker 22: So I am very scared of what's going to happen
• 44:51
  Speaker 22: in the next few months. You know, based on what's
• 44:54
  Speaker 22: happened in the next week, we can only guess what's coming.
• 44:57
  Speaker 22: But it's not a good The Democrats are lying, and
• 45:02
  Speaker 22: you know we'll President Joe Biden even make it to
• 45:05
  Speaker 22: election day. I don't know the answer to that question,
• 45:08
  Speaker 22: but it'll be fascinating to see what on folds.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: I think you're right.
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: I think the pressure will now increase on him to resign. Altogether,
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: it's going to be fascinating as ever.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us again, Kristen.
• 45:18
  Speaker 7: Thank you very much. Chris.
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I got to get to a break. On the
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: other side, we're going to talk to Tim Blair. I're
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: going to talk about how some of the lefties who
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: have been defending Biden for months.
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: How silly they're looking now.
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: Time to pick the brains of Tim Blair, Daily Telegraph
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: columnist and blog are good to talk to you again, Jim. Look,
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: I've had a bit of fun for many, many months,
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: I suppose, poking fun of some of the media who
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: are trying to tell.
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: Us that Joe Biden was all right.
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: For months, even years, they've denied what the reality is
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: that we're all seeing. But you picked out a beauty
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: I noticed with your column. You the one i'd missed,
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: and this is from only March this year. Let's have
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: a look at it. MSNBC.
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: Joe Scarborough, have a look.
• 46:03
  Speaker 15: I've said it for years now.
• 46:05
  Speaker 13: He's cogent, but I ander sold him when I said
• 46:09
  Speaker 13: he was cogent.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: He's far beyond cogent. In fact, I think he's better.
• 46:14
  Speaker 13: Than he's ever been intellectually, analytically, because he's been around
• 46:22
  Speaker 13: for fifty years, and.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: That Joe knows the presidential Joe very well.
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: Apparently, Tim howbou The other two guys on the panel
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: though looking at him, thinking is he joking? Is he
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: working up to a punchline?
• 46:37
  Speaker 22: Here?
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: They didn't look like they're really buying that entire line
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: about Joe being the best Joe ever, something which even
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: Biden's own campaign now agrees is not the case. He
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: might be the worst Joe ever. Certainly he's the slowest
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: in police coherence.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: Jesus, look this like Joe.
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: Scarborough even knew it was going to be a controversial
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: thing today, but he really wanted to own it.
• 47:00
  Speaker 13: Strike your tape rate now, because I'm about to tell
• 47:02
  Speaker 13: you the truth, and that few if you can't handle
• 47:06
  Speaker 13: the truth. This version of Biden intellectually, analytically is the
• 47:14
  Speaker 13: best Biden ever, not a close second.
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: And I've known him for years.
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: Surely this blog's got to withdraw from television himself now.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: Well he actually he was briefly withdrawn from television after
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. That show, that MSNBC
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: program Morning Joe with Scarborough and his wife, was taken
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: off the schedule because apparently management was scared that he'd
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: say something really embarrassing. And you've got to imagine what
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: that might have been, what they were thinking after that effort.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: It must have been extraordinary.
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: Now I keep saying that people, this is not about age, right,
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: we know a lot of people who were very alert
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: and clever were deep into their eighties and nineties.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: It's astonishing really with many people.
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: It's not about age, but it's about the condition that
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: Joe Biden himself is in. Because highlighting that point is
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: another bloke who happens to be the same age as
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: Joe Biden. It's incredible, Mick Jagger. It's the same agent
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: and he remembers the lyrics.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: To be fair, we can't really use Mick Jagger as
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: an authentic guy to aging. Seriously, again, I think we
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: must stress to the audience that's not archival footage, that's
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: not from the nineteen eighties, that's now, that's in his eighties.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I'd love to get like an analysis of
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: the guy's blood for effing like that. I hope it's
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: all naturally. I hope he's doing it well, but maybe
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: he's juiced. That was spectacular.
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: It's incredible, and of course, Keith Richards, he's going to
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: outlive everybody on the planet except for the.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: Cop croaches apparently.
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: Thanks for joining us, Tim, I appreciate it. Tim Blair
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: there live from Victoria. Read his stuff on the blog
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: via the Daily Telegraph website. Is always full of fantastic
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: bits and pieces, and Jim's and Tim's.
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: Rather humorous take on the ball.
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: We just want to share with you some of your
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: feedback from last night's program on what's happening in the US,
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: and one viewer says the free world was rudderless when
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: Biden was elected. Another viewer says, if you're not fit
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: to stand, you're not fit to serve. He should resign immediately. Yeah,
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: a lot of people starting to say that in the
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: US as we speak. Another one reads, at least Kamala
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: is finally unburdened by what has been that's for sure.
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: And finally, Joe probably doesn't know he's been replaced. He's
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: still in the basement. Well, we'll wait to see him.
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: We've heard him, we yet to see him. That's all
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: I got for you today. Here's Peter Gredlin.
