- 0:00Speaker 1: Late welcome the Late to play well.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Good evening.
- 0:07Speaker 3: I'm James Macpherson with Liz Storer and Caleb Bond. Coming
- 0:10Speaker 3: up tonight, Jaguar unveil their latest car design. I'm not
- 0:15Speaker 3: sure many people are going to like it, but I'll
- 0:17Speaker 3: tell you who's going to love the latest Jaguar BMW,
- 0:20Speaker 3: Audi Mercedes. They are absolutely going to love because that
- 0:23Speaker 3: guarantees them more sales.
- 0:25Speaker 2: I think.
- 0:26Speaker 3: Plus, when we look at the papers, banks starting to
- 0:29Speaker 3: introduce forty year mortgages and unions threaten.
- 0:33Speaker 2: More trouble for Woolworth's in the lead up to Christmas.
- 0:36Speaker 3: All of that coming up shortly, But first of you
- 0:39Speaker 3: noticed that when it comes to gay pride celebrations in sport,
- 0:43Speaker 3: there's a massive double standard. When Muslim athletes choose not
- 0:48Speaker 3: to participate, there's barely a word. In fact, there's often
- 0:51Speaker 3: respect for their principles, but when Christian athletes boycott such
- 0:57Speaker 3: sporting events, they are instantly Malaya. Back in twenty twenty two,
- 1:01Speaker 3: you might remember seven Manly Siege or Rugby league players
- 1:05Speaker 3: chose to sit out a game of football rather than
- 1:09Speaker 3: war a gay pride jersey, and for that they were
- 1:12Speaker 3: called bigots. They even received death threats. The irony was
- 1:16Speaker 3: just a couple of months later, an afl W player
- 1:20Speaker 3: for GWS Giants also chose to sit out a pride
- 1:25Speaker 3: game because of her Muslim beliefs. Well, the ABC described
- 1:29Speaker 3: her as an up and coming leader in the Muslim
- 1:31Speaker 3: community who'd been caught in a difficult situation. Well, this
- 1:35Speaker 3: played out all over again in the English Premier League
- 1:38Speaker 3: over the weekend, where they celebrated their LGBTQ Pride Round. Now,
- 1:44Speaker 3: as part of this celebration, captains of each team were
- 1:47Speaker 3: required to wear a gay arm band, and this of
- 1:52Speaker 3: course created problems for religious players. Now, the captain of
- 1:55Speaker 3: Ipswich is a Muslim born in Egypt, Sam Morsey. He
- 1:59Speaker 3: chose just not to wear the gay arm band at all,
- 2:02Speaker 3: and nere a word was said as opposed to the
- 2:05Speaker 3: captain of Crystal Palace, Mark Gayhu, who was born in
- 2:09Speaker 3: the Ivory Coast. He's a committed Christian. His father is
- 2:12Speaker 3: a Christian minister. He decided I'm going to wear the
- 2:16Speaker 3: gay arm band because I bear no ill will towards
- 2:19Speaker 3: the LGBTQ community.
- 2:22Speaker 2: But I do have a higher allegiance.
- 2:23Speaker 3: I don't share their worldview and so he wrote on
- 2:26Speaker 3: the armband Jesus loves you. Now, I reckon that's a
- 2:31Speaker 3: pretty good statement for inclusion. What could be more inclusive
- 2:33Speaker 3: than Jesus loves everybody?
- 2:35Speaker 1: Who could be.
- 2:36Speaker 3: Offended by that? Well, as you can imagine, all hell
- 2:40Speaker 3: broke loose. He was threatened with sanctions, There were suggestions
- 2:44Speaker 3: he could lose his place on the English team, and
- 2:46Speaker 3: that's before we talk about his lucrative contracts and sponsorships. Now,
- 2:51Speaker 3: the Football Association argued that they don't allow political or
- 2:56Speaker 3: religious statements to be made on the pitch, which he's
- 3:00Speaker 3: the question, what is LGBTQ pride other than a political
- 3:05Speaker 3: and religious statement. It's political because it demands not just acceptance,
- 3:10Speaker 3: It demands celebration and adherence to a number of social policies.
- 3:15Speaker 3: It demands that you support gay marriage. It demands that
- 3:18Speaker 3: you support drag queens performing for children. It demands that
- 3:21Speaker 3: you support miners being given puberty blockers to change sex.
- 3:25Speaker 3: All of those are policy positions. It's political and it's
- 3:31Speaker 3: also religious because the LGBTQ Pride movement is a worldview.
- 3:37Speaker 2: It presents a view on life, on reality.
- 3:41Speaker 3: You know, you can change gender, on morality, there should
- 3:44Speaker 3: be no sexual boundaries, and like any religion, it brooks
- 3:48Speaker 3: no compromise and will have no gods before it.
- 3:52Speaker 2: And that's why no.
- 3:53Speaker 3: Sporting organization, no corporation, no school, no government should compel
- 3:58Speaker 3: people to take part in gay pride events. And to
- 4:02Speaker 3: do so while claiming that you don't allow political and
- 4:06Speaker 3: religious statements to be made indicates that the Football Association
- 4:10Speaker 3: in the UK and others like it are either intellectual
- 4:13Speaker 3: doults or catered. They're just playing cowards who are sucking
- 4:17Speaker 3: up to organizations they believe have power, which right now
- 4:20Speaker 3: is the LGBTQ movement.
- 4:22Speaker 1: Or it could be both, and I suspect it is both.
- 4:25Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, as you laid out at the beginning,
- 4:28Speaker 1: the examples from Australia are pretty clear in what happens
- 4:32Speaker 1: when a Muslim says that they're not part of Pride
- 4:34Speaker 1: round and when a Christian says they're not part of
- 4:36Speaker 1: Pride round. And it is exactly the same here. Like
- 4:38Speaker 1: you said, Sam Morsey, who's that the captain of Ipswich
- 4:41Speaker 1: just didn't wear the band at all, and for that
- 4:44Speaker 1: he incurs no reprimand whatsoever because he has not in
- 4:49Speaker 1: doing so apparently broken any of the uniform rules. But
- 4:53Speaker 1: by simply writing Jesus loves you, which you know, yes,
- 4:57Speaker 1: it is a religious message, which is against the rule,
- 5:00Speaker 1: but who cares. It's like, it's not an offensive message
- 5:03Speaker 1: in any way. He's still wearing the armband, so he's
- 5:06Speaker 1: sending the message that the league has asked him to send.
- 5:10Speaker 1: And at the same time you could argue that he
- 5:12Speaker 1: is also saying that, you know, I, as a Christian,
- 5:16Speaker 1: have no issue with you, and my God has no
- 5:19Speaker 1: issue with you. God loves all his children. I mean,
- 5:21Speaker 1: that is presumably what he's tried to say by writing
- 5:24Speaker 1: that on his armband. I mean, is that not putting
- 5:26Speaker 1: out the olive branch from the Christians to the LGBTQ
- 5:29Speaker 1: community to say, look, we're all humans at the end
- 5:32Speaker 1: of the day. But no, you get in trouble for that.
- 5:34Speaker 1: It's just more proof that politics should not go anywhere
- 5:38Speaker 1: near sport. I mean ninety nine percent of people. I'm
- 5:42Speaker 1: sure there is a one percent out there, but ninety
- 5:44Speaker 1: five percent of people who watch sport do so because
- 5:47Speaker 1: it is different to the rest of their lives. It's
- 5:50Speaker 1: removed from politics, it's removed from your job. It's removed
- 5:54Speaker 1: from all the other nonsense you have to put up with.
- 5:56Speaker 1: I mean, tomorrow morning, I'm on a plane to Adelaide
- 5:59Speaker 1: to go and watch the Adelaide Test. It is one
- 6:02Speaker 1: of my favorite times of the year. You know why
- 6:05Speaker 1: because for five days, or hopefully five days, I can
- 6:09Speaker 1: go and watch men throw leather at a piece of
- 6:12Speaker 1: willow and I don't have to think about anything else.
- 6:15Speaker 1: I can drink lots of beers, I can catch up
- 6:17Speaker 1: with my mates, I can talk about the cricket. I
- 6:20Speaker 1: don't have to get caught up in the rest of
- 6:21Speaker 1: the world. That is what sport is meant to be.
- 6:24Speaker 1: But increasingly it gets infected by politics. Not because the
- 6:28Speaker 1: people who watch sport wanted, and not because the people
- 6:31Speaker 1: who participate in sport wanted, but because the corporate jokers
- 6:35Speaker 1: who are in charge of the place think they can
- 6:37Speaker 1: make a buck out of it, because because then they
- 6:39Speaker 1: sell all the jerseys that have got the Pride flag
- 6:42Speaker 1: on them, et cetera. C I mean, it is the
- 6:44Speaker 1: worst kind of corporate virtue signalink that there possibly is.
- 6:47Speaker 4: There's no way they make that much money off a
- 6:49Speaker 4: gay Pride jersey, though, And let's keep in mind, this
- 6:53Speaker 4: isn't even gay Pride months that was due, So why
- 6:57Speaker 4: are you foisting this on the unsuspected? But jillions of
- 7:01Speaker 4: people either attending the game, watching the game, or participating
- 7:05Speaker 4: in the game.
- 7:06Speaker 5: Once again, the militancy of this movement is just your dropping.
- 7:13Speaker 4: Can we not go about our daily lives without being
- 7:17Speaker 4: reminded by a flag flying or aware at Purple Day
- 7:21Speaker 4: that this is what you're supposed to be supporting. And
- 7:24Speaker 4: of course it does single out people of the Christian faith,
- 7:28Speaker 4: never the Muslims weirdly, which is strange because if you
- 7:31Speaker 4: read the Quran and you read the Bible, one stands
- 7:35Speaker 4: out as particularly against the LGBTQ community and it ain't Christianity.
- 7:42Speaker 4: But this is now Taylor's oldest time. Remember back in
- 7:45Speaker 4: the days when it was like bake my cake for
- 7:48Speaker 4: a gay wedding, otherwise I'm suing you and sued those
- 7:52Speaker 4: Christian bakers were. Now it's where at purple otherwise you're
- 7:56Speaker 4: a bigot and everyone will know that these are for
- 7:59Speaker 4: school as children.
- 8:00Speaker 5: That's how young they've got to do this.
- 8:02Speaker 4: Now, then we've got Christian schools being told no, no,
- 8:06Speaker 4: you must employ people of the LGBTQ community. Even though
- 8:10Speaker 4: it goes against your ethos, we're forcing you to this
- 8:14Speaker 4: is a.
- 8:14Speaker 5: Matter of human rights. On and on and on it goes.
- 8:18Speaker 4: Christianity is constantly singled out.
- 8:22Speaker 5: And here's a perfect example.
- 8:23Speaker 4: Muslim player, everyone ticks, applauds, doesn't have.
- 8:26Speaker 5: A problem with it.
- 8:27Speaker 4: Christian player actually wears the armband but finds a way around.
- 8:32Speaker 5: It, and everyone's up in arms.
- 8:34Speaker 4: You've got to wonder what is really behind this agenda,
- 8:39Speaker 4: because it's not protections.
- 8:41Speaker 5: This isn't the nineteen sixties.
- 8:43Speaker 4: We're not championing a downtrodden minority anymore.
- 8:47Speaker 5: These guys rule the roost and we all know it.
- 8:51Speaker 3: I've got to point out one more irony in this story,
- 8:53Speaker 3: and that of course, is that the player's father, who
- 8:55Speaker 3: immigrated to the UK from the Ivory Coast. He understands
- 8:59Speaker 3: England better than most Englishmen. He told the media. God
- 9:03Speaker 3: is everywhere in this country and I know things changed
- 9:05Speaker 3: because of different beliefs, but it's still a Christian country.
- 9:08Speaker 3: Now bear in mind, this is an immigrant to the
- 9:10Speaker 3: UK telling Englishmen about their own country. He says, if
- 9:13Speaker 3: you look at what the lgbt community, you're doing they're
- 9:16Speaker 3: trying to impose on others what they believe in. It's
- 9:19Speaker 3: belief against belief. But at the end of the day,
- 9:22Speaker 3: everyone has the right to an opinion. And Caleb, that's
- 9:24Speaker 3: the UK we used to know. The immigrant gets it,
- 9:28Speaker 3: just the Englishman don't.
- 9:29Speaker 1: It's quite often the case because generally you've gone to
- 9:32Speaker 1: another country because you've seen something better in it than
- 9:35Speaker 1: the one you've come from. But as to why Christians
- 9:38Speaker 1: are targeted, it's an obvious Well, obviously Christians are easy prey,
- 9:44Speaker 1: you might say, because they're a majority in a country
- 9:46Speaker 1: like the UK, so you know, we can just go
- 9:48Speaker 1: after them. Who cares about that? But of course, more broadly,
- 9:51Speaker 1: it's about the fact is a hatred of the West,
- 9:53Speaker 1: and that's why the Muslims get a free pass here
- 9:57Speaker 1: because ultimately the socialists that pushed the this kind of
- 10:00Speaker 1: thing don't really actually care about the things they say
- 10:03Speaker 1: they care about gay rights, etc. They just care about
- 10:06Speaker 1: pulling apart the supposedly colonial awful roots of these countries,
- 10:12Speaker 1: and they will do it by any means possible, even
- 10:15Speaker 1: if that means pandering to the groups that are against
- 10:19Speaker 1: the groups they say they are. Four But that is
- 10:22Speaker 1: life in twenty twenty four. Speaking of life in twenty
- 10:25Speaker 1: twenty four and sticking in the UK, the BBC has
- 10:28Speaker 1: come up with its list of top one hundred women
- 10:30Speaker 1: for twenty twenty four. And what would a list of
- 10:34Speaker 1: top one hundred women in twenty twenty four be without
- 10:38Speaker 1: a biological man? Yes, you knew I was going to
- 10:41Speaker 1: say it, And here it is again. I know I
- 10:43Speaker 1: gave Freddie Murcury go last night, but I've got to
- 10:45Speaker 1: give him another go tonight. Here is.
- 10:49Speaker 6: I'm girling slightly, man, and going slightly, I mean one.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Bridget Baptiste is the individual in question, Colombian scientist. Man.
- 11:06Speaker 1: Of course you can see Baptiste there, but makes it
- 11:09Speaker 1: onto the list of one hundred women. Now, through the
- 11:13Speaker 1: work that Baptiste has done as a scientist, it's apparently
- 11:16Speaker 1: been looking into things like how the rest of the
- 11:18Speaker 1: world is transgender like Baptiste. Take for instance that in
- 11:22Speaker 1: a twenty eighteen Ted talk, was Baptiste that Iss, according
- 11:26Speaker 1: to The Telegraph, claimed scientists had discovered transsexual palm trees
- 11:30Speaker 1: and stated that the change of sex and gender has
- 11:33Speaker 1: been reported regularly in science on this basis. She that is,
- 11:38Speaker 1: according to the Telegraph argued that it was wise to
- 11:41Speaker 1: do away with the ideas of naturalness in nature, stating
- 11:45Speaker 1: there is nothing more queer than nature and for that
- 11:50Speaker 1: extraordinary work, biological male can now make it onto the
- 11:55Speaker 1: list of top one hundred women. Now I know I've
- 11:58Speaker 1: said this before, but I have spent most of my
- 12:01Speaker 1: life saying that I am not a feminist, and I
- 12:04Speaker 1: bhore the idea of feminism because you know, it's an
- 12:07Speaker 1: outdated ideology that harks back to years and years ago, when,
- 12:11Speaker 1: of course there were legitimate grievances with the fact that
- 12:14Speaker 1: women had less rights than men, and then we sorted
- 12:17Speaker 1: all of that out in the latter twentieth century and
- 12:19Speaker 1: we got to a point where we were all equal.
- 12:22Speaker 1: But now I'm actually thinking I got to start calling
- 12:24Speaker 1: myself feminist because we are regressing so far now, like
- 12:29Speaker 1: literal women are losing rights to men every day of
- 12:33Speaker 1: the week. Now everything old is new again.
- 12:35Speaker 2: When I saw that the BBC had produced this list.
- 12:38Speaker 3: Of one hundred inspiring women and it contained a man,
- 12:42Speaker 3: I actually.
- 12:43Speaker 2: Felt relief because it was only one man. I was
- 12:45Speaker 2: taking a lot more to be on their list.
- 12:48Speaker 4: But I mean, you've got to follow the sad day
- 12:51Speaker 4: we're congratulating them for that.
- 12:53Speaker 2: It's only one bloke.
- 12:54Speaker 3: You got to follow the logic though, I mean, he
- 12:56Speaker 3: says there's nothing more queer than nature. I would argue
- 12:59Speaker 3: the BBC are probably a bit more queer than that.
- 13:01Speaker 3: But the logic is, if nature is queer, then we
- 13:06Speaker 3: should be queer in solidarity with it. And this is
- 13:09Speaker 3: a direct result of the rejection of the Christian faith.
- 13:11Speaker 3: The Christian faith used to teach us. We all used
- 13:13Speaker 3: to believe it, even if we didn't go to church,
- 13:15Speaker 3: but we understood we're made in the image of God.
- 13:18Speaker 3: So if we want to know what we're like or
- 13:20Speaker 3: what we should be like, you look up. But then
- 13:23Speaker 3: we've removed God from the horizon. So where do we
- 13:25Speaker 3: look for cues on how to live our lives?
- 13:27Speaker 2: Will we look down?
- 13:28Speaker 3: So you literally get someone saying, hmm, what sort of
- 13:31Speaker 3: person should I be? Well, I wonder what the palm
- 13:33Speaker 3: trees are doing, and then follows that, and so this
- 13:37Speaker 3: is where we have a major problem. Of course, you know,
- 13:39Speaker 3: polar bears eat their young, but she's not suggesting we
- 13:43Speaker 3: follow that. Dogs sniff each other's butts, but no one's
- 13:46Speaker 3: saying that's how we ought to behave. So it's incredibly selective,
- 13:49Speaker 3: isn't it, finding, you know, palm trees that are transsexual
- 13:52Speaker 3: and say, we'll see, that's now.
- 13:54Speaker 2: How we should behave.
- 13:55Speaker 3: The other point I would make, Liz is the BBC
- 13:59Speaker 3: have got a man as well of their most inspiring women.
- 14:01Speaker 3: The BBC also boast continually about their brilliant fact checkers.
- 14:06Speaker 2: Where are their fact checkers?
- 14:07Speaker 4: Yes, do they know anything about chromosomes? It's supposed to
- 14:11Speaker 4: be the one hundred most inspiring women. Well I found
- 14:15Speaker 4: this very inspiring indeed, but not to do what they
- 14:19Speaker 4: think they're inspiring people to do.
- 14:22Speaker 5: Now to the USA, where the writer of.
- 14:25Speaker 4: That famous song YMCA, which has once again made headlines.
- 14:31Speaker 4: My goodness, it's pretty much the Trump song nowadays.
- 14:36Speaker 5: Backed up with a dance and everything.
- 14:38Speaker 4: Everyone's been doing it, from sports stars on.
- 14:41Speaker 5: The field to you name it.
- 14:43Speaker 4: This dance and song has once again gone viral. Well,
- 14:48Speaker 4: the co writer of the YMCA song, his name's Victor Willis,
- 14:54Speaker 4: he was one of the original Village people, has taken
- 14:57Speaker 4: to his social media say when people stop calling this
- 15:02Speaker 4: thing a gay anthem? It was never supposed to be
- 15:05Speaker 4: that And as of next year, my wife's going to
- 15:08Speaker 4: start suing people who say it is.
- 15:11Speaker 5: A gay anthem. Check out his post.
- 15:13Speaker 4: He says, to the extent that YMCA is considered a
- 15:16Speaker 4: gay anthem based on the fact that gays once to
- 15:19Speaker 4: use certain YMCA for illicit activity.
- 15:22Speaker 5: The assumption that.
- 15:23Speaker 4: The song alludes to that is completely misguided. Therefore, since
- 15:27Speaker 4: I wrote the lyrics, I ought to know what the
- 15:29Speaker 4: lyrics I wrote is really about. Come January twenty twenty five,
- 15:33Speaker 4: my wife will start suing each and every news organization
- 15:36Speaker 4: that falsely refers to YMCA as being somehow a gay anthem,
- 15:41Speaker 4: because such a notion is based solely on the song's
- 15:45Speaker 4: lyrics alluding to illicit activity for which it does not. Now,
- 15:50Speaker 4: I just found this quite refreshing, because most people, whether
- 15:54Speaker 4: they're thinking this or not, whether one of their songs
- 15:56Speaker 4: has become a gay anthem or not, would not come
- 16:00Speaker 4: out nowadays and say, by the way, just to be clear, no, no,
- 16:04Speaker 4: They just be like, let him have it. I don't
- 16:07Speaker 4: want to be called a bigot, I don't want to
- 16:08Speaker 4: be sued, I don't want.
- 16:09Speaker 5: To be called hateful. But this guy is not only
- 16:12Speaker 5: coming out and being like a hold the phone everybody.
- 16:17Speaker 5: This was never intended to be that.
- 16:19Speaker 4: He's saying, my wife's gonna suit you, guys if you
- 16:23Speaker 4: keep referring to it as such. Although having watched the
- 16:27Speaker 4: original clip today, I gotta say you do start to
- 16:32Speaker 4: begin to understand why people might have got that idea.
- 16:39Speaker 1: Does not need to feel down down, it's just so.
- 16:50Speaker 4: And yet he said calling it a gay anthem is
- 16:53Speaker 4: quote defamatory.
- 16:54Speaker 5: And damaging to the song. End quote.
- 16:58Speaker 4: Well he's still very happy, man, because as we know,
- 17:02Speaker 4: Trump has made his song very famous of late, and
- 17:06Speaker 4: well he's collecting the royalties. It's like the masculine version
- 17:22Speaker 4: of YMCA love It, Love It so top Dog doing
- 17:27Speaker 4: his own verse.
- 17:28Speaker 1: It's all quite interesting because he also says that he
- 17:32Speaker 1: recognizes that the gay community uses it as an anthem,
- 17:35Speaker 1: and he doesn't have a problem with them doing so.
- 17:37Speaker 1: He just doesn't want it sort of officially known as
- 17:39Speaker 1: that's what it was written for, because.
- 17:41Speaker 2: Everyone thought the lyrics were describing.
- 17:43Speaker 1: Yeah used as a gay exactly. And of course members
- 17:48Speaker 1: of ymc A were gay, not all of them. Victor
- 17:51Speaker 1: is not gay, but some members of ymc A were gay.
- 17:54Speaker 1: And in the early days of Sorry Village, people is
- 17:58Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. And in the early days of
- 18:00Speaker 1: the Village people, you know, before it went mainstream, it
- 18:04Speaker 1: was fundamentally followed by gay people, but at one point
- 18:07Speaker 1: it cracked through with songs like YMCA and became a
- 18:10Speaker 1: lot more broad than that. So you can understand why
- 18:12Speaker 1: people would have thought that YAMCA was gay anthem. But
- 18:15Speaker 1: he also originally said that he didn't want Trump using
- 18:18Speaker 1: it during his campaigns, but he's then changed his mind
- 18:22Speaker 1: on that, presumably because he's seen the manager.
- 18:26Speaker 3: Of forty years after he wrote this song, it's now
- 18:30Speaker 3: back number one, and it was number one for two weeks,
- 18:34Speaker 3: so forty years after he wrote it, he's making absolute
- 18:37Speaker 3: mots all over again. But I mean, you look at
- 18:39Speaker 3: the bands and the performers who have said to Trump,
- 18:42Speaker 3: you must not use our music, oh even if you
- 18:44Speaker 3: pay for it, trummy.
- 18:45Speaker 5: He's got a very small playlist to make you.
- 18:48Speaker 3: If we were to go through them in alphabetical order,
- 18:50Speaker 3: and I won't go through them all, but let me
- 18:51Speaker 3: start with a These are people who said Trump, you
- 18:53Speaker 3: cannot use our music. Abba Adele Aerosmith, Aha, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Beyondcey,
- 18:58Speaker 3: Bruce Springsteen soon Credence clear Water Revival.
- 19:02Speaker 2: Let's just see.
- 19:03Speaker 3: I could keep going for another three or four minutes.
- 19:05Speaker 3: This guy has said, no, I like Trump using it,
- 19:08Speaker 3: and may I mean will.
- 19:10Speaker 1: May I point out though, one of your favorite musicians
- 19:13Speaker 1: and possibly one of the most famous gay men in
- 19:16Speaker 1: the world, Elton John, has no track with Trump using
- 19:20Speaker 1: his music. Trump uses Elton John all the time. He
- 19:22Speaker 1: loves Elton John, right, So, I mean the whole thing
- 19:24Speaker 1: is absurd in so far is because when you started
- 19:27Speaker 1: using YMCA, a lot of people were asking that question, like,
- 19:31Speaker 1: why is he using this song that is a gay anthem?
- 19:34Speaker 1: I can't believe he's doing that. When are we going
- 19:36Speaker 1: to hear from the village people about him doing so?
- 19:39Speaker 1: Will the village me for at least the writer of
- 19:41Speaker 1: the song is spoken now and said it's not a
- 19:43Speaker 1: gay anthem, and I don't have a problem with Trump
- 19:46Speaker 1: using it. But it just it proves to me again.
- 19:49Speaker 1: You remember in school, you know, and you know, Year
- 19:51Speaker 1: twelve English or whatever, and they give you a book
- 19:54Speaker 1: or a poem or something, and you had to analyze
- 19:57Speaker 1: it within a each of its life about what it's
- 20:00Speaker 1: meaning was. And quite often I'd read these ticks and go,
- 20:03Speaker 1: who am I to know what? Like, I'm just saying
- 20:06Speaker 1: this is what I think it's about. The author when
- 20:08Speaker 1: they wrote it probably had a completely different idea of
- 20:12Speaker 1: what they thought it was about. And this proves that
- 20:14Speaker 1: I think. I mean, the only person who can truly
- 20:16Speaker 1: tell you what a piece of art is meant to
- 20:19Speaker 1: mean is the artist himself. Sure, we look at pieces
- 20:23Speaker 1: of art and decide what we think it means to us,
- 20:25Speaker 1: but that's not ultimately the true meaning of the art.
- 20:29Speaker 1: He is an artist taking back the meaning of his
- 20:32Speaker 1: piece of art, and good on him. I wish we
- 20:34Speaker 1: saw it more often before we start turning everything into
- 20:37Speaker 1: meaning something else that it doesn't.
- 20:38Speaker 2: I tell you what before we move on. You may
- 20:40Speaker 2: be kind of sad mentioning Elton John. Have you heard
- 20:42Speaker 2: the latest news on it?
- 20:42Speaker 1: I know he's lost his eyes, but apparently it'll come
- 20:46Speaker 1: back at a later stage.
- 20:47Speaker 3: I mean, you can't beat Elton John music, and I
- 20:51Speaker 3: reckon the reason Trump's using YMCA is because pretty much
- 20:53Speaker 3: no one else other than Elton John would let.
- 20:54Speaker 1: Him use it.
- 20:56Speaker 4: I say, it doesn't mean that he can't play Hello,
- 20:59Speaker 4: We've got It's.
- 21:00Speaker 1: A good paint, A good point.
- 21:02Speaker 3: Yeah, is a very good if anyone can Elton John
- 21:05Speaker 3: will be able to do it. Let's stay overseas, but
- 21:06Speaker 3: go to Canada. And still dealing with Trump, Trump of course,
- 21:09Speaker 3: has announced that once he gets into the White House,
- 21:13Speaker 3: he will put tariffs on nations that are misbehaving towards
- 21:17Speaker 3: the US, including Canada to the north. He said he'll
- 21:20Speaker 3: hit them with a twenty five percent tariff if they
- 21:23Speaker 3: don't immediately stop the flow of illegals and drugs into
- 21:27Speaker 3: America across that northern border. Now, Canada enjoys a one
- 21:31Speaker 3: hundred billion dollar trade surplus with the US, so to
- 21:34Speaker 3: be hit with a twenty five percent tariff, well that
- 21:37Speaker 3: would hurt Canada. Justin Trudeau does not want that, so
- 21:40Speaker 3: he got on a plane and flew straight to the
- 21:43Speaker 3: US to have dinner with Trump. And well, I'll let
- 21:46Speaker 3: Fox News's Peter Doocey take up the story, and.
- 21:51Speaker 7: Tonight we're getting some new details about that Trump Trudeau
- 21:54Speaker 7: dinner from two people who were at the table. We
- 21:57Speaker 7: are told that whan Trudeau told President like Trump that
- 22:01Speaker 7: new tariffs would kill the Canadian economy, Trump jogged to
- 22:05Speaker 7: him that if Canada can't survive without ripping off the
- 22:08Speaker 7: US to the tune of one hundred billion dollars a year.
- 22:11Speaker 7: Then maybe Canada should become the fifty first state and
- 22:15Speaker 7: Trudeau could become its governor.
- 22:19Speaker 3: Well, it's great to finally have an alpha male back
- 22:22Speaker 3: in the White House. Of course, Donald Trump was joking
- 22:25Speaker 3: about Canada becoming the fifty first state of America, but
- 22:30Speaker 3: he left Justin Trudeau in no doubt about his intentions
- 22:34Speaker 3: and his seriousness. Like I said, it's just great to
- 22:37Speaker 3: have an alpha male back in the White House.
- 22:39Speaker 2: Here's a picture of their meeting.
- 22:42Speaker 3: Actually, no, sorry, that's that's not the picture of their meeting,
- 22:46Speaker 3: although that does look like Justin Trudeau.
- 22:48Speaker 2: There's the site.
- 22:51Speaker 3: I'll tell you what though, The idea is that Canada
- 22:54Speaker 3: could become the fifty first state of America. Could you
- 22:56Speaker 3: imagine the panic of all those celebrities who said, if
- 23:00Speaker 3: Trump wins, We're moving to Canada. There's no getting away
- 23:03Speaker 3: from the now to US just subsumes Canada.
- 23:07Speaker 4: There's a way around that, you're back in the United States.
- 23:11Speaker 1: Lol.
- 23:11Speaker 4: Of course Justin Trudeau shared that photo, not the first one,
- 23:16Speaker 4: the second, to his Twitter, tweeting thanks for dinner last night.
- 23:19Speaker 4: President Trump I look forward to the work we can
- 23:22Speaker 4: do together again, to which everyone writing on his Twitter
- 23:27Speaker 4: post was like.
- 23:28Speaker 5: What are you doing sitting with Hitler?
- 23:30Speaker 1: Mate?
- 23:31Speaker 5: How does it feel to be working with the radical
- 23:34Speaker 5: right wing again?
- 23:35Speaker 4: Why are you smiling with Hitler, this man that you
- 23:39Speaker 4: have defamed for years and years. Well, suddenly he says
- 23:44Speaker 4: something about tariffs. You're there at marr Lago playing happy
- 23:48Speaker 4: families flew in to kiss the ring and polish Trump's shoes,
- 23:53Speaker 4: didn't y.
- 23:54Speaker 5: Everyone is absolutely relishing.
- 23:56Speaker 4: This because and Trump said the same to Mexican as
- 24:00Speaker 4: we know, which got him a phone call very quickly
- 24:04Speaker 4: of Mexico being like, we're coming to the.
- 24:06Speaker 5: Party, what do you need?
- 24:08Speaker 4: So it is it is wonderful to see strong leadership.
- 24:12Speaker 5: And I said this during the first Trump term.
- 24:15Speaker 4: It tends to have a little bit like boys playing
- 24:18Speaker 4: in the playground when Trump is in the White House,
- 24:22Speaker 4: it tends to have a flow on effect where world
- 24:25Speaker 4: leaders walk a bit taller, puff their chests out a
- 24:29Speaker 4: bit more, get more of that testosterone masculine energy happening
- 24:34Speaker 4: in their own leadership profiles.
- 24:36Speaker 5: Don't hold your breath for.
- 24:37Speaker 4: Alban easy, because the leader of the free world, the
- 24:41Speaker 4: commander in chief is not just an alpha male, but
- 24:45Speaker 4: an alpha male on steroids, and they all have this
- 24:49Speaker 4: way of responding to that in kind.
- 24:52Speaker 1: And it's interesting as well because of course, it's the
- 24:54Speaker 1: unpredictability of Trump that makes him such a great diplomat,
- 24:59Speaker 1: because you don't really know what he's going to do
- 25:02Speaker 1: at any given time, so it encourages encourages you sorry
- 25:06Speaker 1: to negotiate with him before he's made up his mind.
- 25:09Speaker 1: I mean, Vladimir Zelenski was on the phone to Trump
- 25:13Speaker 1: before the election had even happened, because he'd sniffed the
- 25:16Speaker 1: wind and worked out that he was likely to be
- 25:18Speaker 1: the president, because Trump has said that one of the
- 25:20Speaker 1: first things he will do and just read, but you know,
- 25:23Speaker 1: one of the first things he will do is end
- 25:26Speaker 1: the war between Russia and Ukraine. So Zelenski is straight
- 25:28Speaker 1: on the phone to start doing the negotiating because Trump,
- 25:32Speaker 1: if you leave him to his own devices, they will
- 25:34Speaker 1: do something that you don't want him to do. So
- 25:37Speaker 1: incomes Trudeau gets ahead of the game. Let's talk to
- 25:40Speaker 1: him before things get too far down the line. It's
- 25:44Speaker 1: actually a great form of diplomacy by saying, look, if
- 25:47Speaker 1: you don't come to me, then I can't guarantee what
- 25:50Speaker 1: I'm going to do to you later.
- 25:52Speaker 4: And it's extraordinary because Trump is basically acting president already,
- 25:56Speaker 4: I know, exactly getting on the phone, flocking to Mari Lago,
- 26:01Speaker 4: let's have a.
- 26:02Speaker 5: Sit down dinner.
- 26:03Speaker 4: They are a desperate to plac hate the beast before
- 26:08Speaker 4: he's actually in the White House. And it isn't just
- 26:10Speaker 4: saying twenty five percent tariff on all the Canadian goods
- 26:14Speaker 4: coming into our country until you stop the illegal drugs,
- 26:18Speaker 4: the illegal aliens flowing over the northern border. They're trying
- 26:21Speaker 4: to get ahead of the game. So he's basically already
- 26:25Speaker 4: doing the job of president long before January twenty when
- 26:28Speaker 4: he'll be in augur.
- 26:30Speaker 1: We don't actually have a prison yet, but it was funny,
- 26:32Speaker 1: one blow pointed out on ex if you have a
- 26:34Speaker 1: funny twenty cent Dear Canada, if you want to join
- 26:36Speaker 1: the United States, we have a few rules. The leaf
- 26:39Speaker 1: flag must go far around, position must go up by
- 26:42Speaker 1: five hundred percent per household. Justin Trudeau must be exiled
- 26:45Speaker 1: to Cuba to be with his ancestry, which if you've
- 26:49Speaker 1: ever looked at for del Castro, you might notice a
- 26:52Speaker 1: little similarity in their faces and for you will be
- 26:55Speaker 1: referred to as snow Mexicans. Sound like a deal, but
- 26:58Speaker 1: it did bring to mind. You know, I've spent a
- 27:01Speaker 1: lot of micury. You will know at home how much
- 27:03Speaker 1: I hate councils, and I've spent most of my carey
- 27:06Speaker 1: arguing for council amalgamations. And the argument that kept being
- 27:09Speaker 1: put to me and is still put to me all
- 27:10Speaker 1: the time. It's the problem with council amalgamations is you
- 27:13Speaker 1: can have one council that's doing really well, and then
- 27:16Speaker 1: you amalgamate it with a council that's not doing so well,
- 27:19Speaker 1: and then suddenly the people from the really good council
- 27:21Speaker 1: have to, you know, have their finances go downhill a bit,
- 27:24Speaker 1: and the people from the council that wasn't doing well
- 27:26Speaker 1: are really happy because their finances have suddenly shot through
- 27:29Speaker 1: the roof.
- 27:30Speaker 2: Would the US.
- 27:31Speaker 1: Really want Canada to become another state because it's just
- 27:34Speaker 1: a dead weight on the rest of the country.
- 27:37Speaker 3: It will basically be importing hamas into America the way
- 27:40Speaker 3: Canada is doing so. I think it would be great
- 27:42Speaker 3: for Canada, not so great for the United States.
- 27:44Speaker 5: Not so great.
- 27:46Speaker 4: Something else that is very questionably is it really great
- 27:49Speaker 4: for anyone? Is a new supplement that's being put into
- 27:53Speaker 4: cow feed. It's called Beauvaya, and this is in order
- 27:57Speaker 4: to save the planet.
- 27:59Speaker 5: It is set to.
- 28:00Speaker 4: Cut methane cows farting by up to fifty percent. But
- 28:06Speaker 4: what exactly is this thing that we are putting in
- 28:10Speaker 4: cow feed to stop them from farting to save the planet.
- 28:15Speaker 4: It's creating a lot of concern by people throughout the
- 28:18Speaker 4: Western world where this is being implemented. Now, the company's
- 28:23Speaker 4: doing this and not breaking any laws. It has been
- 28:26Speaker 4: approved by the relevant bodies in their country. But if
- 28:29Speaker 4: you're anything like me, you don't really trust those relevant
- 28:33Speaker 4: bodies very much. Maybe you do, and power to you,
- 28:37Speaker 4: but I certainly do not. This beauvor has got some
- 28:41Speaker 4: serious side effects, particularly one of the ingredients. Here's a lady,
- 28:47Speaker 4: just an everyday person, who googled side effects of this
- 28:51Speaker 4: particular ingredient, and I'll let her tell you what she
- 28:55Speaker 4: found and what you will find if you google the same.
- 29:00Speaker 8: All right, so let's take a look at some of
- 29:01Speaker 8: the side effects of this Bovair skin and I irritant
- 29:05Speaker 8: potentially harmful when inhaled this is the worst may damage
- 29:09Speaker 8: male fertility and reproductive organs. So when you handle this
- 29:15Speaker 8: chemical that they're going to feed to the cows, you
- 29:17Speaker 8: must wear protective gear, dust mask, impervious gloves, wash your
- 29:21Speaker 8: hands after handling, rinse your eyes. So how can they
- 29:25Speaker 8: possibly call that safety?
- 29:27Speaker 4: So if it's that toxic for the people handling it,
- 29:31Speaker 4: what the heck is it doing to our cows? And
- 29:34Speaker 4: is it going to affect meat, cheese, milk.
- 29:38Speaker 5: One of the.
- 29:39Speaker 4: Big supermarkets, all the Foods UK, put out a statement
- 29:44Speaker 4: saying BOVA has been approved for use by both the
- 29:46Speaker 4: European Food Safety Authority and the UK Food Standards Agency
- 29:51Speaker 4: the FSA.
- 29:53Speaker 5: Again, do you trust these people? I don't know, It's
- 29:57Speaker 5: just me, but I personally don't.
- 29:59Speaker 4: They are how PIFAs in all our franken food. They
- 30:03Speaker 4: don't care about microplastics, They don't care about all the
- 30:06Speaker 4: herbicides and pesticides that the cows are eating by virtue
- 30:10Speaker 4: of eating grass anyway, like roundup and other things which
- 30:14Speaker 4: we know aren't very good for us or the cows. Now,
- 30:19Speaker 4: this idea of putting this supplement in cowfeed has been
- 30:24Speaker 4: backed by none other than Bill Gates and the company
- 30:28Speaker 4: who has produced beauva They are called DSM Fermink has
- 30:35Speaker 4: received funding from Bill Gates, but not with regard to
- 30:39Speaker 4: this particular Beauvea project, because he's got his own company
- 30:43Speaker 4: called Ruminate, which is pushing out their own supplement that
- 30:47Speaker 4: supposedly does exactly the same thing. But I want to
- 30:51Speaker 4: give a shout out to those dairy farmers here in
- 30:53Speaker 4: Australia who have gone on social media and done their
- 30:57Speaker 4: dandas to reassure people we are.
- 31:00Speaker 5: Not using this Bouveta nonsense.
- 31:03Speaker 4: Norcoa Milk Milany dairies, Gippsland, Jersey and Bass River dairies
- 31:09Speaker 4: here in Australia. They've said, we're not feeding our cows
- 31:12Speaker 4: this crap, and we can assure you of that. It
- 31:17Speaker 4: just goes to it bobbles the mind that we are
- 31:22Speaker 4: so believing in this climate cult nonsense that we are
- 31:26Speaker 4: now feeding cows something to stop their natural breakdown. We
- 31:31Speaker 4: all know their rather complex creatures in terms of having
- 31:34Speaker 4: three stomachs and doing what they do the cud they chew,
- 31:37Speaker 4: the incredible benefits we get from them in terms of
- 31:41Speaker 4: dairy meat etc. And here we are messing with the
- 31:45Speaker 4: most natural bodily processes for these bovines.
- 31:50Speaker 2: And you raised some great points.
- 31:51Speaker 3: We don't trust governments, we don't trust government bureaucracies, we
- 31:55Speaker 3: don't trust the climate science. We don't trust science. It's
- 32:00Speaker 3: been so politicized. So I sympathize with your concern about this,
- 32:05Speaker 3: and I'm sure there's many people who would say, there's
- 32:07Speaker 3: no way I'm drinking that stuff, which then creates opportunity
- 32:10Speaker 3: for milk companies such as you listed here in Australia,
- 32:13Speaker 3: who are already advertising by our milk. We don't get
- 32:17Speaker 3: it from cows that have been plied with this stuff.
- 32:20Speaker 3: I heard of one milk company colored that's advertising how
- 32:23Speaker 3: you get full cream milk. They're advertising full fat milk, which,
- 32:28Speaker 3: by the sound.
- 32:29Speaker 2: Of it, you might not go for it.
- 32:30Speaker 3: But once you've heard, be like, hey, I want that.
- 32:33Speaker 1: Well, it's funny you mentioned that. I'm sure of you
- 32:36Speaker 1: the home will remember this ad pot of milk.
- 32:41Speaker 2: Thanks.
- 32:41Speaker 7: Well, I've had and I've had full cream, high calcium,
- 32:44Speaker 7: high protein, sorry light skim a Mega three high calcium
- 32:48Speaker 7: with vitamin D and folid or extra dollop.
- 32:54Speaker 1: I just want milk to taste like real milk. I mean,
- 32:57Speaker 1: maybe now they'll have to add full fat milk to
- 33:00Speaker 1: to the list there. I mean, I shouldn't speak too
- 33:02Speaker 1: much because I interfere with my own digestive system by
- 33:05Speaker 1: taking proton pump inhibitors somac. You know, it's an antacid
- 33:10Speaker 1: type thing. There's lots of most people I think are
- 33:13Speaker 1: on them for the reason that.
- 33:15Speaker 5: Is, whatever thing is taking.
- 33:17Speaker 1: But I mean for who cares anyway. I mean, you know,
- 33:20Speaker 1: cows fart and cows burp. It's actually the burps that
- 33:24Speaker 1: most of the methane comes out of. I mean, cows
- 33:27Speaker 1: have been walking around the Earth for how damn long
- 33:30Speaker 1: burping and farting and carrying on, and suddenly it's a problem. Oh,
- 33:34Speaker 1: we can't have them doing that anymore. Their natural tendencies.
- 33:37Speaker 1: They're digestive systems working in the way that they have
- 33:41Speaker 1: evolved to work, and suddenly that's bad because it's going
- 33:44Speaker 1: to cook the planet or something.
- 33:46Speaker 4: It's not going to save the cows anyway, because we
- 33:49Speaker 4: know how dogged this agenda is at all euro omissions.
- 33:53Speaker 4: So if it's only cutting them by fifty percent many
- 33:56Speaker 4: articles say more like twenty seven percent, then it's never
- 34:00Speaker 4: going to be good enough, is it? And we know
- 34:01Speaker 4: the likes of Bill Gates says we just we need
- 34:05Speaker 4: to get rid of beef all together.
- 34:07Speaker 5: Here's a quote from him back in twenty twenty one.
- 34:09Speaker 4: He said, I do think all rich countries should move
- 34:12Speaker 4: to one hundred percent synthetic beef baff. You can get
- 34:17Speaker 4: used to the taste difference, and the claim is they're
- 34:20Speaker 4: going to make it taste even better over time. Eventually
- 34:24Speaker 4: that green premium is modest enough that you can sort
- 34:27Speaker 4: of change the behavior of people or use regulation to
- 34:31Speaker 4: totally shift the demand. I just force people to eat
- 34:37Speaker 4: fake meat. That was back in twenty twenty one, for
- 34:41Speaker 4: crying out loud. These guys are very open about what
- 34:44Speaker 4: their agenda is, and it's up to we the people,
- 34:47Speaker 4: to push back on it and say we're not buying
- 34:49Speaker 4: this rabbit.
- 34:50Speaker 1: I mean, they are very clearly buttering us up here.
- 34:53Speaker 1: And may I say there is a lot of steak.
- 34:55Speaker 1: There is a lot at steak. Let's go to the
- 34:59Speaker 1: United States. Now, hey, it's my last night on the
- 35:02Speaker 1: late debate for the year. You've got to let me
- 35:04Speaker 1: have a.
- 35:04Speaker 2: Little you know, cut the doing will mate.
- 35:06Speaker 3: The cream always rises to the not well done.
- 35:10Speaker 1: Before we go to a break over in the United States,
- 35:13Speaker 1: the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. I had
- 35:17Speaker 1: to make sure I got that entirely correct because it
- 35:19Speaker 1: is a bit of a mouthful. But they have handed
- 35:22Speaker 1: down their report into what they think happened the origins
- 35:25Speaker 1: of COVID and of course the response to COVID in
- 35:27Speaker 1: the United States, which was much as the same as
- 35:30Speaker 1: here in Australia, and woe and behold. After pouring over
- 35:33Speaker 1: more than one million pages of documents relating to the
- 35:38Speaker 1: origins of COVID, they have come to the conclusion that
- 35:41Speaker 1: it came from a lab in Wuhan. Yes, can you
- 35:46Speaker 1: believe it? Exactly what we've been saying for years, all
- 35:50Speaker 1: the great work that Cherry Marson did find her book
- 35:53Speaker 1: on the origins of COVID if you haven't read it.
- 35:56Speaker 1: And we were dismissed as conspiracy theorists for saying this
- 35:59Speaker 1: was created in a lab, Well, no, we have more
- 36:02Speaker 1: proof now to say that we were right. The report
- 36:04Speaker 1: also said that lockdowns did more harm than good, that
- 36:08Speaker 1: masked mandates were ineffective, and that there was no evidence
- 36:12Speaker 1: for social distancing revel Who would have thought all this
- 36:18Speaker 1: stuff that we were talking about for years, and someone
- 36:21Speaker 1: has gone through millions and millions of pages of documents.
- 36:25Speaker 1: Interviewed Anthony Fauci, who of course said that he didn't
- 36:28Speaker 1: know where the six foot social distancing rule came from.
- 36:32Speaker 1: He didn't know. He hadn't looked into any data about
- 36:35Speaker 1: how masked mandates had affected children, et cetera. All on
- 36:38Speaker 1: the record, and they go, oh, hang on a minute,
- 36:40Speaker 1: this stuff didn't work. We could have told you that
- 36:43Speaker 1: years ago.
- 36:43Speaker 4: How people can trust a word these government agencies across
- 36:48Speaker 4: the board, how they can trust a word?
- 36:51Speaker 1: They say?
- 36:52Speaker 5: Ever again, is it beyond.
- 36:54Speaker 3: Me when you say they read over a million pages?
- 36:56Speaker 3: I mean I read Sharry Markson's book What Really Happened
- 36:59Speaker 3: in Wumart. It's just a couple of hundred page a
- 37:01Speaker 3: lot of time. When you go to a break. When
- 37:03Speaker 3: we come back, we'll look at what's making news tomorrow.
- 37:05Speaker 3: That's coming up in the second. Okay, let's take a
- 37:11Speaker 3: look at what's making headlines tomorrow. Will start with Sydney's
- 37:14Speaker 3: Daily Telegraph, which states the obvious hip pocket pain hits
- 37:17Speaker 3: home under labor recession of the people. Reads the headline,
- 37:21Speaker 3: and the article says Australians are thousands of dollars worse
- 37:25Speaker 3: off under the Albanezy government, as experts say the country
- 37:28Speaker 3: is now mired in a recession of the people. The
- 37:32Speaker 3: latest National account data, which was out today in tomorrow's
- 37:36Speaker 3: paper We'll say yesterday, revealed economic growth has slowed to
- 37:39Speaker 3: its lowest annual rate in more than thirty years. That's
- 37:42Speaker 3: outside of the pandemic, as government spending and high levels
- 37:46Speaker 3: of migration mask the true damage to household budgets. The
- 37:51Speaker 3: article goes on to say that government spending is now
- 37:54Speaker 3: twenty eight percent of GDP. That's compared to an average
- 37:58Speaker 3: of about twenty two percent in the ten years leading
- 38:01Speaker 3: up to the pandemic. That's sort of spending is just
- 38:05Speaker 3: absolutely unsustainable. But not only that, it risks keeping inflation
- 38:09Speaker 3: high so interest rates stay high.
- 38:12Speaker 2: It doesn't matter which way you look at this.
- 38:15Speaker 3: Everybody is hurting and the government don't seem to know
- 38:18Speaker 3: what to do other than just keep pumping money into
- 38:20Speaker 3: the occas, even.
- 38:21Speaker 5: Though they are the sole cause of the problem.
- 38:24Speaker 4: As Milton Friedman famously said, inflation is created in Washington.
- 38:30Speaker 4: It's completely done by government spending. And he also goes
- 38:36Speaker 4: on to say that that's our fault because how many
- 38:39Speaker 4: of us love a freebie from the government. So every
- 38:41Speaker 4: time the government's coming up for reelection, what does it promise?
- 38:45Speaker 5: More spending, more spending, more spending.
- 38:47Speaker 4: You only have to take a look at a few
- 38:49Speaker 4: of the things labors already saying that they're taking to
- 38:52Speaker 4: the next election, like universal daycare, which is going to
- 38:56Speaker 4: cost us billions of dollars. This is what they do.
- 39:01Speaker 4: They come up with new ways of saying freebies for everyone,
- 39:04Speaker 4: and then people vote for the.
- 39:06Speaker 5: Freebies just once. Especially now, I'd love.
- 39:10Speaker 4: To see a party with the Gonads to say, actually,
- 39:13Speaker 4: we are running on a very fiscal agenda. We're actually
- 39:17Speaker 4: going to be like, hey, Australia, want to tighten your
- 39:20Speaker 4: belt so that your children's children's children aren't paying off
- 39:24Speaker 4: this ridiculous debt. Because I think a lot of responsible
- 39:28Speaker 4: Australians would say, yeah, actually, let's get it done instead
- 39:32Speaker 4: of everyone being promised a pony and a pony for
- 39:36Speaker 4: their pony, and everyone then voting for whichever party they
- 39:40Speaker 4: think is going to give it them the most free bee.
- 39:42Speaker 3: I wish that were true, but Kembell Newman got into
- 39:44Speaker 3: government and then did that in Queensland.
- 39:46Speaker 1: Service in a landslide, in a landslide quick time. But
- 39:51Speaker 1: you know, over the days of Paul Keating, who once
- 39:54Speaker 1: upon a time said we were going to have the
- 39:55Speaker 1: recession we had to have, he was at least upfront
- 39:59Speaker 1: about that fact.
- 40:01Speaker 4: I think Camvil Newman, by the way, is a very
- 40:03Speaker 4: unique situation. I mean, Queensland has been a labor state
- 40:07Speaker 4: for a very long time. That was an exceptional election
- 40:10Speaker 4: and I don't think anyone was surprised and that was
- 40:12Speaker 4: not the number one that wasn't the reason why he
- 40:16Speaker 4: was voted out.
- 40:17Speaker 1: But at least Keating was honest about the fact that
- 40:19Speaker 1: he was about to lead the country into recession. What
- 40:22Speaker 1: Albanezi and Charmers have done here is preside over the
- 40:27Speaker 1: longest household recession in half a century. Your money is
- 40:31Speaker 1: going backwards, the household GDP is going backwards, but covering
- 40:35Speaker 1: up the official numbers at a national level by pumping
- 40:39Speaker 1: up the migration and as Paul Murray was explaining at
- 40:42Speaker 1: the top of his program, employing more and more public
- 40:45Speaker 1: servants and giving them pay rises because that makes it
- 40:48Speaker 1: look like there is marginal economic growth, which there actually isn't.
- 40:52Speaker 1: I also want to just note, if we can get
- 40:54Speaker 1: the front of the Daily Telegraph back up again, who's
- 40:58Speaker 1: this bird in the top left of the paper? Who's
- 41:02Speaker 1: giving me the finger? She's good looking last, but I'm
- 41:05Speaker 1: not quite sure. It seems that she's a superstar on
- 41:09Speaker 1: a Sydney set. I'm assuming for a film or something.
- 41:11Speaker 1: But what's she doing giving me the finger on the
- 41:13Speaker 1: front of the paper. I don't know what that's all about.
- 41:15Speaker 4: Don't know, don't care to the front page of the
- 41:17Speaker 4: herald Son mortgage stretcher. If this doesn't make your guts grown,
- 41:22Speaker 4: I don't know what will. The forty year mortgage has
- 41:26Speaker 4: arrived in a move other major lenders are expected to follow.
- 41:30Speaker 4: Pepper Money is launching a mortgage next week that will
- 41:34Speaker 4: run out to December twenty sixty five. Borrowers would pay
- 41:39Speaker 4: less each month, but the loans are dearer in the
- 41:43Speaker 4: long term.
- 41:44Speaker 5: Yeah, go figure.
- 41:46Speaker 4: I just I don't even want to think about this.
- 41:50Speaker 4: I don't know if I even want to be alive
- 41:52Speaker 4: in twenty sixty five to think about paying How quickly
- 41:59Speaker 4: people used to be able to buy a house back
- 42:02Speaker 4: in the day. Get it done in a couple of decades.
- 42:05Speaker 4: If that we're now talking about forty year mortgages because
- 42:11Speaker 4: they're so expensive you're gonna need forty years or maybe
- 42:15Speaker 4: even more to pay off even a one better apartment.
- 42:18Speaker 4: And if you're looking at Central suburbs in Sydney and that's.
- 42:22Speaker 5: For a hole in the wall, that's nothing fancy?
- 42:24Speaker 3: Is it in Japan where they have mortgages now that
- 42:26Speaker 3: are generational so it gets handed on to your kids,
- 42:30Speaker 3: which has a certain attraction.
- 42:32Speaker 1: Actually come, well, I'm sure it does, but I mean,
- 42:35Speaker 1: the greatest thing about debt has always been that it
- 42:38Speaker 1: is extinguished upon death. The creditor can come and take
- 42:42Speaker 1: assets to recover as much of their money as possible,
- 42:45Speaker 1: but you can't actually pass debt on to children. Imagine
- 42:48Speaker 1: if that were the case. You know, but you could
- 42:50Speaker 1: go out and take it a massive mortgage. About five
- 42:53Speaker 1: minutes before you carget, You're like, you know, before I die,
- 42:57Speaker 1: I really want to have a ferrari in a match.
- 43:00Speaker 1: And then your kids like, Dad, what did your donos?
- 43:03Speaker 2: I've got two of them. I'll get two cars. It's interesting.
- 43:05Speaker 3: Over the last couple years, four hundred and thirty thousand
- 43:07Speaker 3: Australians have extended the life of their mortgages.
- 43:11Speaker 2: So clearly, when.
- 43:12Speaker 3: People are struggling with repayments, even though you're worse off
- 43:16Speaker 3: in the long run, it's going to be attractive to me.
- 43:18Speaker 1: And that's the thing, right, Like it's sad, but what
- 43:21Speaker 1: else have people meant to do? If you want to
- 43:23Speaker 1: buy in the market that currently exists, you haven't got
- 43:26Speaker 1: a lot of room to move and you don't have
- 43:29Speaker 1: much choice. So if this allows you to get into
- 43:31Speaker 1: the market, you'd say, okay, that's great. But of course
- 43:34Speaker 1: that also then has the effect of allowing more people
- 43:38Speaker 1: into the housing market, which when you haven't already stretched
- 43:41Speaker 1: housing market, means the prices go up even further. So
- 43:44Speaker 1: you really can't win here, can you. But you said
- 43:47Speaker 1: you don't want to be alive in twenty sixty five,
- 43:49Speaker 1: which is a sad thought, Liz, But I can't remember
- 43:52Speaker 1: who sang the song, But you know it goes in
- 43:54Speaker 1: the year twenty five, twenty five, if man is still alive,
- 44:00Speaker 1: if woman can survive, you may find and then it
- 44:03Speaker 1: goes on all these futuristic things. Donnary, wasn't it, these
- 44:07Speaker 1: futuristic things that were supposedly going to happen. I occasionally
- 44:11Speaker 1: go back and listen to it, because it goes on
- 44:13Speaker 1: about you know, twenty twenty and all this stuff, and
- 44:15Speaker 1: it's like, wow, that's not actually what the world turned
- 44:17Speaker 1: out like. It's a bit like watching back to the future.
- 44:19Speaker 1: They went forward to it was it twenty sixteen or
- 44:21Speaker 1: twenty fifteen they went to and they were all getting
- 44:24Speaker 1: around on hover boards and stuff, and it's like, that
- 44:26Speaker 1: didn't happen, did it. Let's go to the front of
- 44:29Speaker 1: the ods tomorrow where it sees Pearson's explicit plea roll
- 44:32Speaker 1: out direct instructions to all classrooms. This is going on
- 44:36Speaker 1: from the story we were talking about last night. You
- 44:39Speaker 1: saw napland results have come out today and Catholic schools
- 44:43Speaker 1: in the act you have had great success going back
- 44:46Speaker 1: to direct instruction. Aboriginal leader Noel Pearson has demanded that
- 44:49Speaker 1: all schools adopt direct instruction in classrooms and blasted education
- 44:54Speaker 1: leaders for ignoring the reform for twenty years. Mister Pearson
- 44:57Speaker 1: said it was bittersweet to see Catholic schools in through
- 45:00Speaker 1: reading in mathematics results through direct instruction method also known
- 45:03Speaker 1: as explicit teaching, after he lobbied for two decades to
- 45:07Speaker 1: have it mandated in public schools. And as we said
- 45:10Speaker 1: last time, I mean, this stuff is as plain as
- 45:12Speaker 1: the nose on your face. It's been in front of
- 45:14Speaker 1: us for so long. In fact, it's how things used
- 45:17Speaker 1: to be done, and then we decided, oh I've got
- 45:19Speaker 1: new fangled ways to do it. They just don't work.
- 45:22Speaker 1: When are we going to get back to basics?
- 45:23Speaker 2: Yep, they should absolutely do it.
- 45:25Speaker 3: And if you had parents kids in schools, you'd be
- 45:27Speaker 3: demanding that your schools go back to this kind of
- 45:30Speaker 3: teaching we're going to break when we come back. Will
- 45:33Speaker 3: show you the new Jaguar that's caused so much controversy.
- 45:37Speaker 3: You can check it out for yourself and see if
- 45:39Speaker 3: you like it.
- 45:43Speaker 2: All. Right after Jaguar.
- 45:44Speaker 3: Announced a controversial rebranding, we've all been waiting to see, Caleb,
- 45:48Speaker 3: what the new car is going to look like.
- 45:50Speaker 1: Oh my, I really don't want to show it to
- 45:53Speaker 1: you actually, but you'll remember that new ad they came
- 45:56Speaker 1: up with and it had no car in it whatsoever,
- 45:58Speaker 1: and it had people in weird dresses and haircuts and whatever.
- 46:02Speaker 1: Look if they just you know, run this, things might
- 46:06Speaker 1: look a little better, you know, an actual Jaguar to
- 46:20Speaker 1: sort them out. But unfortunately they didn't do that. Now
- 46:22Speaker 1: I've shown you this before. I love Jaguars. They're beautiful
- 46:26Speaker 1: British cars. You know the mark to the X J six,
- 46:31Speaker 1: the E type, you know, I mean, look at that.
- 46:34Speaker 1: That is just a beautiful car. You look at that.
- 46:39Speaker 1: It feels britty. I mean the E type that is
- 46:41Speaker 1: sex on wheels. Well, have a look at what they've
- 46:44Speaker 1: come up with now, So I am with the all
- 46:47Speaker 1: you Jaguar Type zero zero, which is a design vision.
- 46:52Speaker 5: Check it out and looks absolutely insane.
- 46:55Speaker 4: When we look at the front.
- 46:56Speaker 5: We can have.
- 46:59Speaker 8: Three of where insane.
- 47:02Speaker 1: Likes as you can see.
- 47:08Speaker 7: The doors open.
- 47:10Speaker 1: Solutely crazy. Check out that interior which is unbelievable.
- 47:17Speaker 5: The screens go off as world that is insane.
- 47:23Speaker 1: See the flintstones have finally arrived. I mean that thing
- 47:26Speaker 1: looks like one of those suicide pods that they use
- 47:28Speaker 1: over in the in the Netherlands for people to say
- 47:31Speaker 1: goodbye to the world. Who wants that? That is not
- 47:35Speaker 1: a Januar. I mean, when you saw the beautiful things
- 47:38Speaker 1: they once made, and now they're making boxy crap like.
- 47:41Speaker 2: That, I couldn't work out.
- 47:42Speaker 3: Is that the new Jaguar or is it the Barbie movie,
- 47:45Speaker 3: which one is it?
- 47:46Speaker 2: And they talk about.
- 47:47Speaker 5: When it comes in blue?
- 47:48Speaker 3: Well they talked about creativity, right, because creative and it's original,
- 47:51Speaker 3: and so they've come up with blue and pink like
- 47:54Speaker 3: for boys and girls.
- 47:55Speaker 5: I mean great binary. They even that, You would have
- 47:59Speaker 5: thought they would have got slam for that.
- 48:00Speaker 3: If you remember the Thunderbirds, which I'm not sure you
- 48:03Speaker 3: would have ever watched the Thunderbirds, you probably would have.
- 48:05Speaker 2: That pink Jaguar is straight out of the Thunderbirds. Go
- 48:09Speaker 2: back and look, it's straight out of it.
- 48:11Speaker 1: But that's the only sort of person who would buy
- 48:13Speaker 1: a thing like that is someone who is a puppet,
- 48:16Speaker 1: who's got the strings. I will do what I am
- 48:19Speaker 1: told to do by my wo I'd love.
- 48:22Speaker 4: To know how many they end up selling new Range
- 48:25Speaker 4: going directing.
- 48:26Speaker 3: The executives at BMW or AUDI are really worried about
- 48:29Speaker 3: the new Jaguar.
- 48:30Speaker 2: I think not. I think not at all.
- 48:32Speaker 3: That's all we've got time for tonight, but stick around.
- 48:35Speaker 3: Coming up is the Reader Pennety Show.
