0:02
Speaker 1: On scorn Lands Ostrodia. This is the Wider Panalty Show.
0:09
Speaker 1: Good evening and welcome to the readA Panety show coming
0:12
Speaker 1: up tonight. Did Scomo deserve his King's Birthday honor? As
0:16
Speaker 1: the former PM gives some sage words of advice to
0:19
Speaker 1: the coalition, Dan While will be here to unpack all that.
0:23
Speaker 1: We'll also look at Jackie Lamby's colorful advice to the
0:27
Speaker 1: AFL as the Tasmanian senator implores the league to find
0:32
Speaker 1: its snackers. Professor Implymer will join me to discuss Australia's
0:36
Speaker 1: international reputation being damaged by overregulation. Corey DeAngelis will have
0:41
Speaker 1: all the latest from the US, and later in the
0:44
Speaker 1: hour Gap Power joins me to cover everything from the
0:48
Speaker 1: aftermath of Elon Musk's meltdown to the latest on Greta
0:52
Speaker 1: Thumberg's ill fated trip to Gaza and left He's losing.
0:56
Speaker 1: It is all about the rights in LA but first
1:06
Speaker 1: good Morrison has been awarded a Companion of the Order
1:09
Speaker 1: of Australia and the King's Birthday Honors for his leadership
1:13
Speaker 1: of the nation's COVID nineteen response. The former PM had
1:17
Speaker 1: some words of advice for the Coalition to told The
1:20
Speaker 1: Australian newspaper that since COVID we've become more focused on
1:24
Speaker 1: treating the symptoms than treating the cause in policy, and
1:27
Speaker 1: that's obviously a mantle for the Coalition to take up now.
1:31
Speaker 1: He also said that liberals need to realize that it's
1:34
Speaker 1: not just about being responsible financial managers. You can't just
1:39
Speaker 1: say oh, we're going to balance the budget. Well, what
1:42
Speaker 1: does that mean? How is that helping me? How does
1:45
Speaker 1: that address the opportunities that I have joining me now
1:48
Speaker 1: for more on this As Deputy Executive Director of the
1:51
Speaker 1: Institute of Public Affairs, Dan Wild, Dan, this King's Birthday On,
1:56
Speaker 1: let's start with that. Is it deserved or not? Which
2:00
Speaker 1: given Australias some would say extreme COVID response.
2:06
Speaker 2: I don't think it's deserved in this particular instance reach
2:09
Speaker 2: or at least for what it was provided for. I
2:11
Speaker 2: do think it's right that the birthday on has acknowledged
2:13
Speaker 2: those who have given significant public service, and Scott Morrison
2:16
Speaker 2: has certainly done that. But to specify that it be
2:20
Speaker 2: made for the COVID nineteen response, I think really diminishes
2:24
Speaker 2: the value of that honor's list because our COVID nineteen
2:29
Speaker 2: response was a complete and total disaster. It was a
2:32
Speaker 2: case study in everything not to do, both at the
2:36
Speaker 2: federal level and the state level. Although I will give
2:38
Speaker 2: one bit of credit, which was when the federal government
2:41
Speaker 2: did close the borders internationally very early on in twenty twenty,
2:45
Speaker 2: which was the right move, But everything that came after
2:48
Speaker 2: that was the wrong thing, including handing out billions of
2:51
Speaker 2: dollars to Daniel Andrews to shut down the state of
2:54
Speaker 2: Victoria and lock up millions of Victorians for the longest
2:58
Speaker 2: time of any jurisdiction in the world. So look, I
3:02
Speaker 2: think that Scott Morrison would probably benefit from the idea
3:04
Speaker 2: of dignified silence, you know, rather than trying to wait
3:07
Speaker 2: into these debates.
3:11
Speaker 1: Yes, the National Cabinet, I think ended up being a
3:14
Speaker 1: disastrous idea and the fact that the premiers were so
3:18
Speaker 1: emboldened and there was no pushback from the federal government,
3:21
Speaker 1: no pushback from Scott Morrison to some of the extreme
3:25
Speaker 1: measures they were taking, and not just extreme in limiting
3:28
Speaker 1: people's freedoms, but just the economic carnage. We have seen
3:32
Speaker 1: the harm done to young kids. The list is long,
3:37
Speaker 1: as you know. But what do you make of his
3:39
Speaker 1: advice to the Liberals that they have to be more
3:41
Speaker 1: than just sound economic managers. I mean it's the sort
3:45
Speaker 1: of advice that I wish he'd given himself when he
3:48
Speaker 1: was PM, because as you may well recall, he was
3:51
Speaker 1: famous for saying there's no jobs in the culture wars
3:55
Speaker 1: and he was really kind of absent from some of
3:57
Speaker 1: those important debates that are centered around values. Well, that's right.
4:04
Speaker 2: I think that you know, Scott Morrison's comments lacked credibility,
4:08
Speaker 2: you know, on the economy as well as on culture
4:11
Speaker 2: as he mentioned, but on the economy. Don't forget he
4:12
Speaker 2: was the Prime Minister who, along with Josh Fredenberg, signed
4:15
Speaker 2: Australia up to net zero. I mean, one of the
4:17
Speaker 2: most economically illiterate policies that we've ever seen as a nation.
4:22
Speaker 2: And the reason they signed up to it was actually
4:24
Speaker 2: to save Josh Freidenberg's seat. Well how did that work out?
4:27
Speaker 2: You know, it didn't work out politically and it's been
4:30
Speaker 2: a disaster for our economy, for our society, regional Australia,
4:34
Speaker 2: as well as undermining our national security because it makes
4:37
Speaker 2: us more dependent upon the imports of solar panels and
4:40
Speaker 2: wind turbines, the majority of which come from China. So
4:43
Speaker 2: no matter which element you look at, net net zero
4:46
Speaker 2: has been a complete disaster for Australia. So you know, again,
4:50
Speaker 2: I respect anybody who's engaged in public service in you know,
4:54
Speaker 2: including Scott Morrison who's put their hand up and had
4:56
Speaker 2: their name on a ballot and given it a go.
4:58
Speaker 2: But really I think she's opening on this matter. Does
5:01
Speaker 2: lack credibility?
5:05
Speaker 1: Now re elected Tasmanian Senator Jackie Lamby has lashed out
5:09
Speaker 1: of the AFL. She had some choice words for AFL
5:12
Speaker 1: CEO Andrew Dylan and Tasmanian Devil's boss Brendan Gailees and
5:16
Speaker 1: to Lamby met with the duo and left the meeting
5:19
Speaker 1: very unimpressed Dan. She said the AFL is going down
5:23
Speaker 1: the gurglar and needs new leaders with some knackers between
5:27
Speaker 1: their legs. She also said I'd built myself up and
5:31
Speaker 1: was ready to go, thinking I was going to have
5:34
Speaker 1: to take on an Eddie McGuire type thing, and it
5:37
Speaker 1: was like walking into a sauna. Here, everyone, get your
5:40
Speaker 1: towel wrapped around you. Let's have some fuzzy wuzzy time. Jesus,
5:45
Speaker 1: this should have been united this should have united Tasmania,
5:49
Speaker 1: but instead it has ripped us apart. She also said
5:52
Speaker 1: they need a hard man at the top, somebody with
5:55
Speaker 1: some knackers between their legs. Christ Almighty, these are all
5:59
Speaker 1: direct quote. By the way, I'm not at living here
6:01
Speaker 1: at all. She also said someone better go back in
6:04
Speaker 1: there that's got some balls between their legs, because there
6:08
Speaker 1: is some shit going on in there that needs to
6:11
Speaker 1: be fixed. To put aside the colorful language, does she
6:17
Speaker 1: have a point about the AFL and it's a Tasmania strategy.
6:23
Speaker 2: I'm not sure I quite follow the sauna analogy there that,
6:27
Speaker 2: you know. Putting that aside, I think that I think,
6:30
Speaker 2: you know, Senator Lamby's assessment of the leadership of the
6:34
Speaker 2: AFL is correct. The AFL has been lacking in leadership
6:38
Speaker 2: for a very long time. She said that going down
6:40
Speaker 2: the gurgler, well, I think they've will have truly gone
6:42
Speaker 2: down the gurgler in many ways, not just with the
6:45
Speaker 2: handling of the Tasmania situation, but maybe years ago, the
6:49
Speaker 2: AFL gave up being a real sporting code and basically
6:52
Speaker 2: became a you know that, I guess a wing of
6:57
Speaker 2: the Labor Party in essence by promoting you know, the
6:59
Speaker 2: labor parties to visit social agendas and supporting you know,
7:03
Speaker 2: the Voice to Parliament and various other forms of activism,
7:06
Speaker 2: and having a welcome to country ceremony before pretty much
7:09
Speaker 2: every AFL match, and dividing the AFL community. Also acting
7:14
Speaker 2: in a way that's inconsistent with what fans want, you know.
7:17
Speaker 2: For example, fans don't want the rules to be changed
7:20
Speaker 2: every year. They want to bring back state of origin,
7:23
Speaker 2: they want to keep the AFL Grand Final for Saturday afternoon,
7:26
Speaker 2: not moving it to the evening, and various other things.
7:28
Speaker 2: So basically everything that the AFL community wants, AFL Headquarters
7:33
Speaker 2: opposes and does the complete opposite thing. So I think,
7:36
Speaker 2: you know, putting aside Senator Lamby's you know, somewhat ambiguous metaphors,
7:40
Speaker 2: I think that her assessment of the massive failures of
7:43
Speaker 2: corporate AFL is bang on.
7:48
Speaker 1: Now, global sportswear giant NIGI has decided to end it's
7:51
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars ambassadorial partnership with former Stralien of
7:56
Speaker 1: the Year Grace Tame after she posted some radical left
8:00
Speaker 1: content online attacking supporters of Israel and platforming some really
8:05
Speaker 1: quite disturbing views her maas sympathizers. Essentially. Reportedly of particular
8:12
Speaker 1: concern to the brand was Tame's decision to repost a
8:15
Speaker 1: statement from Palestinian writer Mohammad L. Kurd, As reported by
8:19
Speaker 1: the Australian newspaper. El Kerd's statement appeared to condone the
8:23
Speaker 1: murder of two Israeli embassy officials in Washington and angrily
8:27
Speaker 1: attacked journalists who reported that the slayings were an act
8:30
Speaker 1: of anti Semitism. He wrote, the media class is scrambling
8:34
Speaker 1: to reframe the shooting that targeted to Israeli state officials
8:38
Speaker 1: as a random anti Semitic attack, even though it was
8:42
Speaker 1: undeniably and by the alleged shooter's own admission, a response
8:46
Speaker 1: to the ongoing Israeli assault on Gaza, which killed one
8:50
Speaker 1: hundred and seven Palestinians in the last twenty four hours alone. Dan,
8:53
Speaker 1: this is quite a significant move by Nike. That've always
8:58
Speaker 1: been more for a long time anyhow, been very left
9:01
Speaker 1: in their political messaging, in their ads. They're not afraid
9:04
Speaker 1: to be divisive. But Grace Tame was too far left
9:08
Speaker 1: even for Nike.
9:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, reader. I think we might have talked
9:13
Speaker 2: about this last week when it looked like Nike was
9:16
Speaker 2: going to dump the sponsorship, and now they've done that.
9:19
Speaker 2: And look, I think this is an important decision by
9:22
Speaker 2: Nike to draw a line in the sand and say that,
9:24
Speaker 2: you know, there's certain forms of activism that they're not
9:26
Speaker 2: going to tolerate. And you know, again, as I've said previously,
9:31
Speaker 2: I think that it's a shame because a lot of
9:33
Speaker 2: what Grace Tame was representing and advocating for in terms
9:37
Speaker 2: of domestic violence and abuse of women. It's a very
9:41
Speaker 2: important issue that should be used to unite the community
9:44
Speaker 2: behind that important cause. But you know, when some of
9:47
Speaker 2: these advocates end up engaging in social activism, they have
9:51
Speaker 2: the effect of diminishing the couse that it is that
9:54
Speaker 2: they're standing up for. And I think ultimately Nike really
9:57
Speaker 2: had no choice but to severtize. And you know, hopefully
10:01
Speaker 2: this sends a bit of a message that if you're
10:03
Speaker 2: going to be an advocate for important causes in the community,
10:06
Speaker 2: that it's better off that you stay to those causes
10:08
Speaker 2: rather than deviating into different political issues that will ultimately
10:12
Speaker 2: divide the community.
10:15
Speaker 1: Well, talking about deviating from political issues and dividing the community,
10:19
Speaker 1: Greta Thumberg. She's gone from climate change warrior to anti
10:24
Speaker 1: Israeli activist and the IDEA has bordered the ship, the
10:29
Speaker 1: boat she was on. They have taken control of the ship.
10:33
Speaker 1: The activists have been arrested without resistance, accepting water and
10:38
Speaker 1: sandwiches from the IDEF. I don't think any of them
10:40
Speaker 1: are in any trouble, but this prompted Greta to post
10:44
Speaker 1: this pre recorded video.
10:46
Speaker 3: My name is give A Chamber and I am from Sweden.
10:49
Speaker 3: If you see this video, we have been intercepted and
10:52
Speaker 3: kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces or
10:57
Speaker 3: forces that support israel I. Urge all my friends, family
11:02
Speaker 3: and comrades to put pressure on the Swedish government to
11:06
Speaker 3: release me and the others as soon as possible.
11:10
Speaker 1: So much Hyperbly kidnapped dad. It hardly looked like a
11:13
Speaker 1: kidnapping to me. But what has she achieved with this
11:18
Speaker 1: little mission of hers I'm not too sure.
11:21
Speaker 2: I assume the sandwiches were vegan options that were available
11:25
Speaker 2: to those on board.
11:27
Speaker 1: Plastic wrapped. Oh no, they're wrapped in plastic, Dan, this
11:31
Speaker 1: is this is very taping.
11:32
Speaker 4: I don't know.
11:32
Speaker 2: Maybe they won't they won't be able to eat them
11:34
Speaker 2: now as a moral sort of moral virtue. But look,
11:39
Speaker 2: I don't know what Greta is trying to achieve. It
11:42
Speaker 2: sort of seems a bit old hat now. I'm not
11:44
Speaker 2: too sure how seriously she's she's sort of taken. You know,
11:48
Speaker 2: I've often wondered whether she's you know, a bit of
11:51
Speaker 2: a front for you know, those who are more motivated
11:55
Speaker 2: to try to do something. But you know, you just
11:58
Speaker 2: look at it and think, well, she's still quite young. Yeah, Look,
12:02
Speaker 2: I'm not too sure what she's trying to achieve by
12:04
Speaker 2: doing this.
12:06
Speaker 1: I think her power is pretty much diminished. The way
12:10
Speaker 1: she was used by a tool by others when she
12:12
Speaker 1: was a child doesn't apply anymore because they would yes
12:16
Speaker 1: have her at the forefront of these causes, and you
12:19
Speaker 1: couldn't criticize her because she was a child after all,
12:22
Speaker 1: so you couldn't actually even dispute some of the nonsense
12:27
Speaker 1: she was saying. And once she turned eighteen, that change,
12:31
Speaker 1: once she became an adult and you could actually hold
12:34
Speaker 1: her to account as you would any other activists. I
12:36
Speaker 1: think that has really seen her power and influence diminish somewhat. Dad.
12:42
Speaker 1: While it's always a pleasure. Thanks for your time joining
12:46
Speaker 1: me now is a esteem geologist and author, Professor Ian
12:49
Speaker 1: plymer Ian. Let's start with energy expert Soul Cavanick. He's
12:54
Speaker 1: written in The Australian that an anti investment ideology has
12:58
Speaker 1: taken hold, meaning that we now have a reputation of
13:03
Speaker 1: over regulation and of finding excuses to say no to projects.
13:08
Speaker 1: He writes, we have become so accustomed to politicize delays
13:13
Speaker 1: and cancelations of projects we're surprised when a project is approved.
13:17
Speaker 1: Common sense is now being cherished as the exception rather
13:21
Speaker 1: than the rule. The seven year delay to an approval
13:25
Speaker 1: that always should and would ultimately be given is the problem.
13:29
Speaker 1: Investors have to ask themselves if they should even bother
13:33
Speaker 1: trying to invest in Australia if they have to wait
13:35
Speaker 1: this long just to know if their investment is welcome.
13:39
Speaker 1: This is why the next wave of gas investments is
13:42
Speaker 1: happening in the US and the Middle East instead of
13:45
Speaker 1: here in Is he being too harsh now? We just
13:51
Speaker 1: being careful in protecting the natural environment in having these
13:56
Speaker 1: regulations in place.
13:58
Speaker 4: Well, I think he's absolutely on the money. Investors want
14:01
Speaker 4: to make a profit while they're doing that. They employ people,
14:05
Speaker 4: they pay taxes, they pay royalties, they add infrastructure, and
14:10
Speaker 4: no investor worries about having to fulfill certain approvals. This
14:16
Speaker 4: is done for the community good and for the environment.
14:19
Speaker 4: But this has got absolutely and totally out of hand.
14:23
Speaker 4: For example, in the Pilborough, to build the roy Hill
14:28
Speaker 4: iron ore mine in an iron ore mining district, in
14:31
Speaker 4: an iron ore mining state, in an iron ore mining country,
14:35
Speaker 4: four thousand, nine hundred and fifty approvals were needed. That
14:39
Speaker 4: costs hundreds of millions of dollars, That costs years of delays.
14:44
Speaker 4: And this is at a time when our country has
14:47
Speaker 4: low productivity, when the unions are capitalizing on having a
14:51
Speaker 4: labor government, so they're getting more muscle in the Pilborough.
14:55
Speaker 1: And then of.
14:55
Speaker 4: Course a government's in debt and they will think, Hm,
15:00
Speaker 4: we've stolen all this super money with unrealized capital gains.
15:06
Speaker 4: Maybe we could do that with a mine. Maybe we
15:08
Speaker 4: could steal the profits before they're made. And so as
15:12
Speaker 4: an investor you think, well, why should I invest in Australia.
15:15
Speaker 4: Why not investing in Africa? And in the case of gas,
15:20
Speaker 4: just the time to get the approvals and the conditions
15:23
Speaker 4: on those approvals make it a very very long and
15:27
Speaker 4: expensive process. So what has happened now is we've had
15:31
Speaker 4: a massive drop in investment in Australia. We have eighty
15:35
Speaker 4: mining projects that are now on hold. No one dares
15:39
Speaker 4: go ahead with them because you don't know what the
15:41
Speaker 4: future holds, and mining requires a very long term stability.
15:46
Speaker 4: If I have a geological idea, by the time that
15:50
Speaker 4: idea is drilled out and we do the feasibility studies
15:54
Speaker 4: and build a mind, it's twenty five years and then
15:57
Speaker 4: you need another twenty five years of production to pay
16:00
Speaker 4: that back. So you cannot have governments having knee jerk
16:03
Speaker 4: reactions because investment money is very fickle. It'll just move
16:08
Speaker 4: somewhere else, and it'll move to countries which we regard
16:12
Speaker 4: as very very high risk. But Australia, unfortunately is one
16:15
Speaker 4: of the high risk countries of the world, and it's
16:18
Speaker 4: getting worse. So I'm not surprised. I think the comments
16:23
Speaker 4: were fairly restrained, and those of us in the mining
16:27
Speaker 4: industry they full well that there are better places to
16:30
Speaker 4: invest money than Australia.
16:34
Speaker 1: Well, right now the Trump administration is turbocharging mining projects
16:39
Speaker 1: over there. They want to not just become energy independent,
16:42
Speaker 1: but become an energy superpower. Is that going to put
16:46
Speaker 1: even more pressure for Australia because we've got investors that
16:51
Speaker 1: can opt for America instead of US. They don't even
16:54
Speaker 1: have to go to Africa or South America.
16:57
Speaker 4: Well, that's very much the case. There are for Australian
17:00
Speaker 4: companies who are looking at oil and gas in the
17:03
Speaker 4: US simply because it's too risky in Australia. There are
17:07
Speaker 4: quite a few companies that are looking at downline process
17:11
Speaker 4: in the US rather than doing it in Australia. Why
17:14
Speaker 4: because energy is cheap and if you do not have
17:17
Speaker 4: cheap energy and do not have reliable energy for a
17:21
Speaker 4: long period of time, you cannot have a manufacturing industry.
17:25
Speaker 4: So the whole of the economy in the US is
17:28
Speaker 4: based on cheap energy. That's why people are flocking there
17:31
Speaker 4: to invest. But in Australia we're becoming a renewables powerhouse.
17:36
Speaker 4: Energy has got far more expensive, it's unreliable, so why
17:40
Speaker 4: invest here. So it's all about the cost of energy,
17:44
Speaker 4: and we are having Australian companies that have made money
17:47
Speaker 4: in Australia and are now looking at investing that money
17:50
Speaker 4: in the US. That shouldn't happen.
17:52
Speaker 1: Well, can we be become an renewable superpower? This is
17:56
Speaker 1: something Chris Bowen has long talked about, is that the
18:00
Speaker 1: alternative here, Well, it's.
18:02
Speaker 4: Made as totally and totally dependent upon China. And as
18:07
Speaker 4: one of your earlier guests, Dan Wild mentioned, the Chinese
18:12
Speaker 4: control our systems for generating wind power, they control our
18:17
Speaker 4: systems for generating solar power, they control our transmission systems.
18:22
Speaker 4: They could turn off these systems in an instant and
18:25
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, we wouldn't have energy. All of
18:28
Speaker 4: a sudden, we wouldn't have food being transported to the
18:31
Speaker 4: markets and to the cities. So we have lost our
18:37
Speaker 4: sovereign security by putting energy in the hands of a
18:41
Speaker 4: foreign power. You cannot run a successful country unless you
18:45
Speaker 4: have cheap, reliable energy. And what our renewables investment is
18:51
Speaker 4: doing is forcing us to have expensive and unreliable energy
18:55
Speaker 4: and to be dependent upon someone else. This is a
18:59
Speaker 4: terribly dangerous path to go to heren.
19:03
Speaker 1: And I've got some good news. The snow season has
19:07
Speaker 1: started and despite the warnings we had that Australian kids
19:11
Speaker 1: will not see snow, it's going to be a bumper season.
19:14
Speaker 1: They're saying it's the best in several years. And at
19:17
Speaker 1: the same time we've got Queensland recording temperatures as low
19:22
Speaker 1: as half a degree in some areas, residents waking up
19:26
Speaker 1: to frost. So we're run out of time in but
19:29
Speaker 1: good news for Australian kids, many more years of enjoying, enjoying.
19:34
Speaker 1: J Climon, thank you so much for a time.
19:37
Speaker 4: Good night, Thank you.
19:38
Speaker 1: See that's why we call it climate change. Now we've
19:40
Speaker 1: got to call it climate change, not global warming. They
19:44
Speaker 1: give you a time, professor, good night, Thank you. Still
19:47
Speaker 1: to come, Left is losing it, plus the latest from
19:51
Speaker 1: the US, including the lawless protests in California Forridangelis is
19:56
Speaker 1: up next. You're watching the reader Panning You show, and
20:08
Speaker 1: it's time for Left is losing it and the Democrats
20:12
Speaker 1: and their radical, violent wing are reminding the world tonight.
20:17
Speaker 1: Why Donald Trump won the election in a landslide, winning
20:20
Speaker 1: every swing state, the popular vote, and the all important
20:23
Speaker 1: Electoral College with a massive margin of three hundred and
20:27
Speaker 1: twelve to two hundred and twenty six votes. And the
20:30
Speaker 1: heart of Trump's America First agenda was ending the illegal
20:34
Speaker 1: immigration crisis and deporting the millions who flooded in illegally
20:40
Speaker 1: in recent years. And you will not find a better
20:44
Speaker 1: ad for that policy than the scenes in LA right now. Yes,
21:16
Speaker 1: the lawless thugs are demonstrating precisely why they should be
21:21
Speaker 1: deported and why those who break the law to support
21:25
Speaker 1: them should be locked up. As the National Guard is
21:28
Speaker 1: called in to restore order, the fires continue to burn.
21:32
Speaker 1: Some of these fires have been burning for so long
21:35
Speaker 1: that the cars are almost gone. Look at that. But
21:39
Speaker 1: authority is the National Guard will restore order. As these
21:43
Speaker 1: writers found out. Some of these writers found out.
21:46
Speaker 4: They're coming out.
21:47
Speaker 5: They're coming out.
22:04
Speaker 1: And while the Mexican flag was proudly flying throughout these protests,
22:09
Speaker 1: the American flag was really nowhere to be seen unless
22:13
Speaker 1: it was being set alight. Yes, they proudly fly the
22:22
Speaker 1: Mexican flag, but they burned the American one as they
22:25
Speaker 1: riot to stop being deported to Mexico and other countries
22:29
Speaker 1: they hold in higher esteem than America. This is the left.
22:33
Speaker 1: It's what they do, whether it's Antifa, BLM or these
22:38
Speaker 1: lawless thugs. Remember, the violence from the left intensified as
22:42
Speaker 1: soon as Trump became president. The first time.
22:54
Speaker 6: Police had to push back the protesters so firefighters could
22:58
Speaker 6: get to the fleemes.
23:00
Speaker 7: Small fires had appeared all day, this up to the temperature,
23:19
Speaker 7: which of course was the point.
23:22
Speaker 8: One demonstrator through a flash bangrenade back at police.
23:26
Speaker 1: It exploded in an officer's face.
23:28
Speaker 5: And save to your gas.
23:30
Speaker 1: Six officers reportedly injured. Funny how that was never called
23:33
Speaker 1: an insurrection. The Democrats have always fanned this sort of violence.
23:38
Speaker 1: They have incentivized it, they have defended it, and even
23:42
Speaker 1: as La descends into violence and chaos, they are calling
23:46
Speaker 1: for more his Democrats. La City council member Hernandez telling
23:51
Speaker 1: protesters rioters really to escalate their tactics.
23:56
Speaker 9: They know how quickly we mobilized. That's why they're changing tactics.
24:00
Speaker 8: Because community defense works and our resistance has slowed them
24:03
Speaker 8: down before.
24:03
Speaker 10: And if they're doing their tactics, then so are we.
24:07
Speaker 10: When they saw up, when they saw up, we got
24:12
Speaker 10: to throw up even stronger.
24:13
Speaker 1: And La Mayor Karen Bass also defended the protest and
24:17
Speaker 1: trumpeted LA's sanctuary city status.
24:21
Speaker 11: We are going to fight for all Angelinos, regardless of.
24:24
Speaker 5: When they got here, whether they have papers or not.
24:28
Speaker 11: We are a city of immigrants, and this impacts hundreds
24:32
Speaker 11: of thousands of Angelinos.
24:34
Speaker 1: You know, it was only last year when Democrat congress
24:37
Speaker 1: Woman Maxine Waters was accusing Trump of being divisive and
24:42
Speaker 1: engaging in dangerous rhetoric.
24:44
Speaker 8: I am going to spend some time with the criminal
24:48
Speaker 8: justice system, with the justice system, asking them, tell us
24:51
Speaker 8: what's going on with the domestic arians. Are they preparing
24:55
Speaker 8: a civil war against us? Should we be concerned about
24:59
Speaker 8: our say? What is he doing with this divasive language?
25:03
Speaker 8: It is dangerous and we're going to have to make
25:06
Speaker 8: sure that we understand that we're not at risk with
25:10
Speaker 8: this man talking in the way that he's doing.
25:12
Speaker 1: Oh, Maxine Waters had plenty of fears, fevered dreams about
25:16
Speaker 1: Trump and his supporters starting trouble. But it's the left,
25:20
Speaker 1: always the left resorting to violence and right there to
25:24
Speaker 1: defend the protesters and defend the rights of illegal immigrants
25:28
Speaker 1: to stay in the country illegally, was the congresswoman. Let's
25:32
Speaker 1: have a listen to Maxine Waters.
25:34
Speaker 11: Hughes deportation as a way to enhance his position.
25:38
Speaker 5: We're all to fate.
25:39
Speaker 10: Where you're out there.
25:40
Speaker 11: We don't want his country to be a country a
25:44
Speaker 11: potball coming from other broadcasts. It's outrageous. It is horrible,
25:48
Speaker 11: and we've got to make sure that we do everything
25:51
Speaker 11: every parts of the care because I think he's up
25:54
Speaker 11: to creating martial life.
25:57
Speaker 1: He even look together we alluded to civil war. This
26:02
Speaker 1: from the woman who has a long champion feral behavior,
26:05
Speaker 1: who has called for her ideological opponents to be harassed
26:09
Speaker 1: and intimidated even when they're out for dinner, And now
26:12
Speaker 1: as California descends into a lawless, violent protest, she's fanning
26:18
Speaker 1: the flames with this sort of talk. Here, she's asked
26:21
Speaker 1: about the National Guard being called into restore order. Don't
26:24
Speaker 1: you think about the National Guard being here Trumps deploying
26:27
Speaker 1: them and not our own governorate.
26:29
Speaker 11: Well, the thing about it is, I don't know why
26:32
Speaker 11: they're here with guns.
26:34
Speaker 5: Whom are they going to shoot and for what? Why
26:36
Speaker 5: are the gun Why are these guns here?
26:39
Speaker 1: That's my question.
26:40
Speaker 11: I don't care. Why are the guns have to be
26:43
Speaker 11: Santuary City. We know Trump doesn't like us, we know
26:46
Speaker 11: that it's tring to try to use us as an example.
26:48
Speaker 1: Is she kidding? Why they're guns? Why are they there?
26:52
Speaker 5: Are?
26:53
Speaker 1: Because violent miscreants have taken over the streets. They're attacking
26:57
Speaker 1: law enforcement and generally being lawless thugs. Does she expect
27:02
Speaker 1: the National Guard to go in there with Teddy Bears
27:04
Speaker 1: and hug these criminals into submission? And if that wasn't enough,
27:09
Speaker 1: Maxine then showed up at a detention center and tried
27:12
Speaker 1: to use her congressional authority to gain access. It didn't
27:18
Speaker 1: go too well, as the kids say, not Today's Satan.
27:22
Speaker 11: Well, I watched Hello, Hello, Hello, congress Roman writer.
27:27
Speaker 6: I just came to use my congressional I'll go to
27:32
Speaker 6: chapline Bears.
27:33
Speaker 11: Now I need to get in.
27:38
Speaker 8: I need to get it.
27:45
Speaker 1: That was pretty delicious footage. At the end there joining
27:47
Speaker 1: me our is American Culture Project Cedia Fellow and school
27:51
Speaker 1: choice advocate Corey Deangelus. Corey Donald Trump couldn't have hoped
27:56
Speaker 1: for a better advertisement for his deportation program, and then
28:00
Speaker 1: the violent uprising we're seeing in California right now.
28:05
Speaker 10: Yes, this is a great advertisement for Trump's deportation program,
28:08
Speaker 10: but it's also a great advertisement for the Republican Party
28:11
Speaker 10: in general. The Republicans already beat the Democrats on the
28:14
Speaker 10: issue of immigration overwhelmingly in the last election, and now
28:18
Speaker 10: this is only going to cement that view in voters' minds.
28:22
Speaker 10: You look at the images from Los Angeles. It's a
28:24
Speaker 10: war zone right now, and it's because the Democrats can't
28:28
Speaker 10: keep their house an already. Look at Democrat runs cities.
28:30
Speaker 10: We saw this in twenty twenty with the George Floyd protest.
28:34
Speaker 10: They were burning cities all across the country. You had
28:37
Speaker 10: mainstream media calling it mostly peaceful protests that were fiery,
28:41
Speaker 10: and we're seeing the same kind of problems right now.
28:43
Speaker 10: And you have Gavin Newsom trying to tell Trump to
28:46
Speaker 10: call off the National Guard.
28:48
Speaker 9: They're siding with the criminals.
28:50
Speaker 10: They're against the victims in these situations.
28:53
Speaker 9: They are against personal property rights, they're with the looters.
28:58
Speaker 10: And you know, voters don't like this. If they're paying taxes,
29:01
Speaker 10: they want to be protected. They don't want criminals roaming
29:04
Speaker 10: the streets. You see the Mexican flag being flown all
29:08
Speaker 10: across Los Angeles. This is supposed to be America, not Mexico.
29:12
Speaker 10: And so this is this is only providing more advertising
29:15
Speaker 10: for Trump's efforts because you know, one of his main
29:19
Speaker 10: arguments is that a lot of the immigrants are not
29:22
Speaker 10: assimilating with American culture. You see them in these photographs
29:26
Speaker 10: and these videos with flags that aren't even the American flag.
29:29
Speaker 9: I mean, it's making Trump's point for him.
29:32
Speaker 1: Well, we've seen scenes of them burning the American flag.
29:37
Speaker 1: That's the only time I've seen the American flag in
29:39
Speaker 1: these protests is when it was being burned. And you're right,
29:43
Speaker 1: where is Governor Newism seems to be doing more harm
29:46
Speaker 1: than good. The local authorities seem to have run soft
29:51
Speaker 1: on this as well, releasing ridiculous statements saying the peaceful protests,
29:56
Speaker 1: and they seem to be completely unprepared for the violence
29:59
Speaker 1: of the left, even though we see it often enough.
30:02
Speaker 1: And you mentioned the Mexican flag. I think this image
30:06
Speaker 1: really summed up the protest. You can see the lineup
30:09
Speaker 1: of police cars in this image shrouded in thick black smoke,
30:14
Speaker 1: and you've got a mass protest there there flying the
30:18
Speaker 1: Mexican flag. This, to me, Corey is just the height
30:22
Speaker 1: of absurdity. These people are flying the Mexican flag and
30:27
Speaker 1: violently protesting to avoid being deported to Mexico. If you
30:31
Speaker 1: love Mexico so much that you're flying their flag on
30:34
Speaker 1: American soil, why are you so opposed to going back there?
30:39
Speaker 10: Yeah, look, this is an invasion, it's an insurrection. If
30:42
Speaker 10: you want to take the words from the left and
30:44
Speaker 10: use it right against them. But look, I mean this,
30:48
Speaker 10: Los Angeles is supposed to be the home of the
30:50
Speaker 10: twenty twenty eight Summer Olympics, and all we have right
30:53
Speaker 10: now is they're public officials using mental gymnastics to defend
30:58
Speaker 10: the criminals, the rapist and the murderers and not the
31:01
Speaker 10: victims of all these crimes. So you know, you were
31:04
Speaker 10: already We're already forecast in twenty thirty that California is
31:09
Speaker 10: going to lose four electors because they're losing population already.
31:14
Speaker 10: More people are going to flee California. They have beautiful beaches,
31:18
Speaker 10: they have a great weather, but they're still losing population
31:21
Speaker 10: because they have numbskulls running their state into the ground.
31:29
Speaker 1: Well they do. And as California is in disarray, you've
31:33
Speaker 1: got in New Jersey. UFC three sixteen was underway and
31:37
Speaker 1: Trump was there and is now customary walking occurred again
31:43
Speaker 1: to thunderous applause and krey. As soon as the big
31:55
Speaker 1: fights were one, the fighters were jumping out of the
31:59
Speaker 1: cage to shake Trump's hand. Here is Mehror devilishly.
32:05
Speaker 5: Thomas, He's an unjuged man he's a monster.
32:10
Speaker 10: He's a monster.
32:12
Speaker 1: He's a monster.
32:13
Speaker 4: And look he's not even not a breath.
32:15
Speaker 2: He tried that chunk in the first round too, shows
32:19
Speaker 2: ever to depend but I mean you're tier, You've been
32:21
Speaker 2: worn down, and eventually he gets that choke.
32:24
Speaker 9: Look at Moracos.
32:27
Speaker 1: Second meeting. More time of it than the first judge
32:30
Speaker 1: is not needed tonight, Corey. There certainly has been a
32:33
Speaker 1: big cultural shift in the States, more so in sport
32:39
Speaker 1: than in entertainment. But you are seeing Trump embraced these
32:44
Speaker 1: sporting events, particularly the UFC, but also football games, and
32:48
Speaker 1: he's enormously popular with even in places you willdn't expect
32:54
Speaker 1: him to be popular. New Jersey is a blue state.
32:58
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's right. Trump is a man in the people.
33:00
Speaker 10: He won all seven swing states in November twenty twenty four,
33:05
Speaker 10: and he's continuing that trajectory. See winners like Trump, and
33:08
Speaker 10: Trump likes to win too, So you can see that
33:11
Speaker 10: in his policies and you can see it in his
33:13
Speaker 10: public events as well. We saw us at football games
33:15
Speaker 10: leading up to the election. He's a very popular guy
33:18
Speaker 10: and he's he's a man of the people. Your everyday
33:21
Speaker 10: citizen can can relate with Trump, and it's just as
33:26
Speaker 10: it's obvious.
33:27
Speaker 9: A plus.
33:28
Speaker 10: The main thing is that his policies are great, especially
33:31
Speaker 10: when it comes to things like education, immigration, keeping cities safe.
33:36
Speaker 10: Hopefully some states like California and New York can learn
33:40
Speaker 10: from from Republican led states to be safer and.
33:46
Speaker 9: To have a better education system too.
33:50
Speaker 1: I think New Jersey's it can be won. I mean,
33:55
Speaker 1: there's a lot of those that it is a polarized country.
33:57
Speaker 1: We might talk about Trump being popular. He is loath
34:01
Speaker 1: in those deep blue states, that's for sure. But I
34:05
Speaker 1: think New Jersey is one of those ones where at
34:09
Speaker 1: the next election or maybe the one after, it could
34:11
Speaker 1: become a red state because the people there are are
34:16
Speaker 1: sick of the Democrats abandoning them and the issues they
34:20
Speaker 1: care about. They have become so radically left some lest
34:23
Speaker 1: the Democrats find their way, they are in danger of
34:25
Speaker 1: losing states like New Jersey. Now let's marvel at this
34:29
Speaker 1: ridiculous piece from the Washington Post about life on Martha's
34:34
Speaker 1: Vineyard and Nantucket being disrupted after migrant workers were shackled
34:39
Speaker 1: and boarded onto Coast Guard boats, igniting fear among undocumented workers.
34:45
Speaker 1: They call them who form the backbone of the island's workforce, Cory,
34:50
Speaker 1: is this not the same community in Martha's Vineyard that
34:54
Speaker 1: called in authorities when a few dozen illegal immigrants were
34:58
Speaker 1: sent their way from Florida. I mean that were removed
35:01
Speaker 1: within a couple of days, if I remember correctly. And
35:05
Speaker 1: now we're supposed to feel sorry for them because they
35:08
Speaker 1: chap labor's gone.
35:10
Speaker 10: Yeah, they're afraid that they're not going to have their
35:13
Speaker 10: low cost labor. The elites over there and want people
35:15
Speaker 10: to mow their yards and to serve them.
35:18
Speaker 9: At the dinner table. But look, yeah, they're total hypocrites.
35:21
Speaker 10: And this just goes to show you that so much
35:23
Speaker 10: of these knee jerk reactions from elites and these kind
35:27
Speaker 10: of cities, it's all just based on who.
35:29
Speaker 9: They don't like.
35:30
Speaker 10: So a few years ago, is they didn't like DeSantis.
35:33
Speaker 10: They thought DeSantis had a shot at becoming president, so
35:36
Speaker 10: they wanted to respond by saying, oh, well, we don't
35:39
Speaker 10: like what he's doing by sending the immigrants here, even
35:41
Speaker 10: though they said they were a sanctuary city and they
35:44
Speaker 10: embraced immigrants.
35:45
Speaker 9: But then now that Trump is trying to go the
35:48
Speaker 9: other way.
35:48
Speaker 10: On the same issue and to deport immigrants from Martha's Vineyard.
35:54
Speaker 10: Now all of a sudden, they come out with their
35:56
Speaker 10: Trump arrangement syndrome.
35:57
Speaker 9: That's all this is. It's the It's more of a
36:00
Speaker 9: political argument than anything else.
36:05
Speaker 1: And let's end with the media. ABC News has a
36:08
Speaker 1: suspended correspondentary Moran after he posts the most unhinged diet
36:13
Speaker 1: tribe on x imaginable about President Donald Trump and Trump's
36:17
Speaker 1: deputy chief of Staff Stephen Miller Corey. This was a
36:22
Speaker 1: crazy rand, he wrote, and he's deleted this, but the
36:26
Speaker 1: damage is done. He wrote, amongst other things, Miller is
36:30
Speaker 1: a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred.
36:34
Speaker 1: He's a world class hater. You can see this just
36:38
Speaker 1: by looking at him, because you can see that his
36:41
Speaker 1: hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate, he
36:47
Speaker 1: eats his Corey. This is demented, even by ABC standards.
36:52
Speaker 1: I could not believe this. I thought he'd been hacked,
36:55
Speaker 1: but no, he's responsible.
36:57
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's a classic case of pure projection. And I mean,
37:00
Speaker 10: you can see his hatred just seeping through that tweet.
37:03
Speaker 10: He later deleted it.
37:05
Speaker 9: Maybe he was drunk when he was tweeting this. I
37:07
Speaker 9: don't know what happened, but.
37:09
Speaker 10: It's very surprising to me that ABC is actually doing
37:13
Speaker 10: something about it. I would have figured that he would
37:15
Speaker 10: have got a promotion at this left wing news outlet.
37:19
Speaker 1: For he's only suspended. Corey.
37:23
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, maybe one when it blows over, he'll he'll
37:29
Speaker 10: get a raise or something.
37:30
Speaker 9: In a couple of months.
37:33
Speaker 1: Well, let's not forget Donald Trump sat down with him
37:36
Speaker 1: for that one on one interview and he was fairly
37:39
Speaker 1: thoroughly embarrassed. He was unprepared for that interview, and Trump
37:42
Speaker 1: held him to account when he made some claims boldly
37:46
Speaker 1: and when he was questioned he's like, oh no, no,
37:48
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, I'm just asking the question, and when
37:50
Speaker 1: he'd actually been making a statement. There were quite a
37:53
Speaker 1: few examples there. Corey DeAngelis always a pleasure. Thanks for
37:56
Speaker 1: your time.
37:57
Speaker 9: Tonight, Thank you reader, good talking to you.
38:00
Speaker 1: Still to come. The fallout from Elon masks meltdown as
38:03
Speaker 1: President Trump comments on the billionaires alleged drug use. Gabriella
38:08
Speaker 1: Power has the details. Welcome back, joining me now as
38:21
Speaker 1: host of the Power Hour, available across Guy In News
38:23
Speaker 1: Australia's digital platforms. Gabriella Power gab Let's start with allegations
38:29
Speaker 1: made by former advisor to Donald Trump about Elon Mask.
38:33
Speaker 1: He claims that Elon shoulder charge Treasury Secretary Scott was
38:37
Speaker 1: sent after a war of words turned physical just meters
38:41
Speaker 1: from the Oval office. Gabber, what else can you tell
38:44
Speaker 1: us about these allegations?
38:46
Speaker 12: Oh my gosh, all Elon Mask just keeps bringing so
38:49
Speaker 12: much drama to the White House. But as you say,
38:52
Speaker 12: this is really interesting because this is coming from Steve Bannon,
38:55
Speaker 12: a former advisor to Trump, and he has told the
38:58
Speaker 12: Washington Post that essentially eli and Scott Besson got into
39:02
Speaker 12: a physical altercation back in April. So Scott Besson and
39:06
Speaker 12: Elon Musk were pitching strategies around the IRS to Donald Trump,
39:10
Speaker 12: and Donald Trump was apparently backing bessence, and Elon Musk
39:14
Speaker 12: was not having any of it and allegedly treated Scott
39:19
Speaker 12: Besson like a rugby player and put a shoulder into
39:22
Speaker 12: his rib and the two of them had to actually
39:25
Speaker 12: get torn.
39:26
Speaker 5: Apart by other people that were in the room.
39:28
Speaker 12: So who knows what Elon Musk was actually on at
39:31
Speaker 12: this point in time. Elon Musk is quickly learning how
39:34
Speaker 12: politics works, and that is not how you handle a disagreement.
39:40
Speaker 1: Well, no, and that wouldn't explain that black eye, because
39:43
Speaker 1: if that happened in that timeframe, that the black eye
39:46
Speaker 1: was far more recent than that. So I don't know.
39:48
Speaker 1: Maybe he got into a rugby taggle with somebody else.
39:51
Speaker 1: Let's see now. From President Donald Trump, he was asked
39:54
Speaker 1: about Elon Musk's possible drug use.
39:58
Speaker 5: Did you have any concerns about his drug use when
40:01
Speaker 5: he was working for you?
40:03
Speaker 10: I don't want to comment understrug news, I don't know.
40:05
Speaker 10: I don't know what his status is. I read an
40:08
Speaker 10: article on the New York Times. I thought it was Frankly,
40:10
Speaker 10: it sounded very unfair to me.
40:12
Speaker 5: You said earlier today that mister Musk had a problem.
40:15
Speaker 5: What did you mean by that? Did you misjudge him?
40:18
Speaker 1: May?
40:18
Speaker 10: I don't want to talk about problems. I think that.
40:22
Speaker 5: I think the United States had problems that.
40:24
Speaker 10: If you look at the numbers day, the numbers were.
40:26
Speaker 1: Unbelievable, Gab. This clash was inevitable in many ways, and
40:31
Speaker 1: Elon Musker made a major major miscalculation here. I don't
40:35
Speaker 1: know if he was on something. I suspect it possibly was.
40:38
Speaker 1: When he was tweeting some of that reckless, crazy retoric.
40:43
Speaker 1: He's gone back and deleted most of it. But he
40:47
Speaker 1: thought perhaps being the world's richest man meant that he
40:50
Speaker 1: could be the world's most powerful man, and he is
40:53
Speaker 1: not that, And he found out the hard way that
40:56
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is potus.
40:58
Speaker 12: Isn't it interesting because so how long were we hearing
41:01
Speaker 12: from Democrats in the mainstream media they were so concerned
41:03
Speaker 12: about Elon Musk's influence over Donald Trump. And Donald Trump
41:07
Speaker 12: is showing that he really didn't have much at all.
41:10
Speaker 12: And Donald Trump is the most powerful person in America,
41:13
Speaker 12: not Elon Musk. But you're right, reader, I think Elon
41:16
Speaker 12: has realized he made a massive mistake. He has deleted
41:19
Speaker 12: that bombshelled sweet that was absolutely ridiculous, linking Donald Trump
41:23
Speaker 12: to the Epstein files. He's deleted that. And he's not
41:26
Speaker 12: only deleted that, he's now starting to show that he
41:29
Speaker 12: is groveling because he is now resharing on his x
41:33
Speaker 12: feed posts that Donald Trump has made in response to
41:37
Speaker 12: what is going on in Los Angeles at the moment.
41:39
Speaker 12: So look, they are both patriots, and Elon Musk is
41:43
Speaker 12: supporting Donald Trump publicly once again over Donald trump support
41:47
Speaker 12: for what is unfolding in Los Angeles and both absolutely
41:51
Speaker 12: tearing apart Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass because they cannot
41:54
Speaker 12: handle cannot show that they have any control over what
41:58
Speaker 12: is unfolding with his Vibe protest. But as you say,
42:01
Speaker 12: you know, Elon Musk has made a mistake. I think
42:03
Speaker 12: he's realized that, and I think he's quickly trying to
42:06
Speaker 12: patch things up. Let's see how forgiving Donald Trump is.
42:09
Speaker 12: But I think many Americans would like to see them
42:11
Speaker 12: working together again.
42:15
Speaker 1: Well, yes, for the good of the country, you would
42:17
Speaker 1: like to see that. But he's got to know his place.
42:20
Speaker 1: He can't have another episode like that. And you're right.
42:23
Speaker 1: I've heard some absolutely crazy commentary today from some you know,
42:30
Speaker 1: veteran pundits saying, some of the trouble in LA it's
42:32
Speaker 1: not a coincidence that it started when Elon Musk and
42:35
Speaker 1: Donald Trump have fallen out, as if that has anything
42:39
Speaker 1: to do with it. I don't know what planet some
42:41
Speaker 1: of these analysts are on. But now decorated gymnast Simone
42:46
Speaker 1: Biles has clashed with women's sports campaigner Riley Gains on X.
42:50
Speaker 1: You posted something quite nasty, writing you're truly sick all
42:55
Speaker 1: of this campaigning because you lost a race, straight up,
42:58
Speaker 1: saul loser, You should be uplifting the trans community and
43:01
Speaker 1: perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive, or creating
43:05
Speaker 1: a new avenue where trans feels safe in sports, maybe
43:09
Speaker 1: a transgender category in all sports. But instead you bully them.
43:14
Speaker 1: One thing for sure is no one in sports is
43:16
Speaker 1: safe with you around bully someone your own size, which
43:20
Speaker 1: would ironically be a male gap. Nasty, nasty and low.
43:26
Speaker 1: And I've got to say Files has been roundly criticized
43:30
Speaker 1: here because Ralegh Gains not only was she beaten by
43:34
Speaker 1: a man, but she has worked tirelessly ever since to
43:37
Speaker 1: protect girls and women from men taking over their sport.
43:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, she does.
43:43
Speaker 12: But there's a lot of support for Raley Gains here,
43:45
Speaker 12: and this is one of the biggest stories in the
43:47
Speaker 12: US right now. And someone Files wrote that horrible tweet
43:51
Speaker 12: when Raley Gains was called out that there was a
43:53
Speaker 12: biological male competing in its softball tournament and where else
43:57
Speaker 12: but Minnesota tampon tim country. But look, Riley Gaines has
44:04
Speaker 12: hit back at Simon Barles' comments, and she's brought in
44:08
Speaker 12: or she's brought up rather Larry Nasa, of course, the
44:11
Speaker 12: convicted pedophile who was convicted for assaulting hundreds of young girls.
44:15
Speaker 12: Now read you exactly what she said. She wrote all
44:18
Speaker 12: the horrific sexual abuse at Simone Bile's witness and spoke
44:21
Speaker 12: out against caused by one man, yet believes women should
44:25
Speaker 12: be forced to strip naked in front of men to
44:27
Speaker 12: validate the man's feelings. You know how many gold medals
44:30
Speaker 12: you'd have if your inclusive dream came true?
44:33
Speaker 1: Zero?
44:34
Speaker 12: Now, Riley Gaines also clarified her position that she absolutely
44:37
Speaker 12: hopes that this convicted pedophile, Larry Nasa, spends the rest
44:40
Speaker 12: of his life rotting away in prison. But at the
44:43
Speaker 12: same time, men do not belong in women's sports, and
44:47
Speaker 12: female athletes continue to be failed by a system that
44:50
Speaker 12: protects men at the expense of women safety. And look,
44:53
Speaker 12: she's absolutely right, and we're just seeing that support for
44:56
Speaker 12: Riley Gaines at the moment.
45:00
Speaker 1: Now, I wanted to get your reaction to the IDF
45:03
Speaker 1: boarding Greta Thunberg's so called freedom Yachta. What did you
45:09
Speaker 1: think of this little expedition by Greta Thumberg. Did she
45:14
Speaker 1: achiever aims? I mean, she's certainly got a lot of
45:16
Speaker 1: international attention, which is what I guess she's really after.
45:22
Speaker 1: She's in the business of attention seeking.
45:25
Speaker 12: This pr stunt of hers has spectacularly failed. It was
45:29
Speaker 12: always going to I mean, this narcissist Greta Thunberg, who
45:33
Speaker 12: has spent so many years being so hysterical about climate change,
45:37
Speaker 12: and now she's showing support for her muss on this ship,
45:42
Speaker 12: which was absolutely ridiculous. She was bringing in barely any
45:46
Speaker 12: aid to Gaza, thinking that she was going to be
45:48
Speaker 12: some hero. She was going and doing CNN crosses and
45:52
Speaker 12: live streaming it. And even before Israeli authorities took control
45:57
Speaker 12: of this ship, she even recorded a video saying that
45:59
Speaker 12: she had been kidnapped by Israeli authorities. If anything happens
46:03
Speaker 12: to her, it's because she's been kidnapped.
46:05
Speaker 8: You know.
46:06
Speaker 12: She has just become such a laughing stock if she
46:09
Speaker 12: wasn't already, and it's brilliant. We have heard from Israeli
46:13
Speaker 12: officials that were reacting to this and keeping us all
46:17
Speaker 12: in the loop pretty much instantly. They clarified that all
46:21
Speaker 12: the passengers and the celebrities on board the selfie yacht
46:25
Speaker 12: are of course safe, unharmed, and they were provided with
46:28
Speaker 12: sandwiches and water and selfie is well and truly over.
46:32
Speaker 12: But just to put it into perspective, how much aid
46:35
Speaker 12: they were actually carrying, and it was less than a
46:37
Speaker 12: single truckload of aid. And just for some perspective, more
46:41
Speaker 12: than twelve hundred AID trucks have entered Gaza from Israel
46:44
Speaker 12: within the past two weeks. Congratulations go to Thunberg. That
46:49
Speaker 12: has just been a spectacle for us all to laugh at.
46:53
Speaker 12: And she has completely foiled. She's on her way back
46:55
Speaker 12: to Israel and then she'd be going home.
46:59
Speaker 1: I do like that term selfie yacht though. That's something
47:02
Speaker 1: new that we can have fun with. Now I've got
47:05
Speaker 1: to ask you also about Hugh Jackman and Deborah Leaf Furness.
47:09
Speaker 1: They were the Golden couple for so many years. Their
47:11
Speaker 1: divorce is getting increasingly ugly. They've begun splitting up their assets,
47:17
Speaker 1: including their real estate assets thirty six million dollar apartment
47:21
Speaker 1: in Manhattan, gab. There's even talk that Deborah Leaf Furness
47:26
Speaker 1: might do a tell all book. Oh wow, this could
47:30
Speaker 1: really blow up Hugh Jackman's good boy, well, golden boy images.
47:35
Speaker 1: He's been always known as this mister nice guy.
47:38
Speaker 12: Absolutely well, that would be an interesting read for sure,
47:42
Speaker 12: but as you say there right now, splitting up their assets,
47:44
Speaker 12: they've got two hundred and fifty million dollars, that's what
47:47
Speaker 12: that is their fortune that they have to work out.
47:50
Speaker 12: So this divorce is probably going to get pretty messy,
47:53
Speaker 12: as you say. That thirty six million dollar penthouse apartment
47:56
Speaker 12: in New York City. It's in the Chelsea District. Beautiful
47:59
Speaker 12: area it's got. It's a three bedroom place, five thousand
48:03
Speaker 12: square feet. It looks out to the Hudson River. The
48:06
Speaker 12: apartment features an elevator entrance, a library that convert to
48:10
Speaker 12: a fourth bedroom that wants to a chef's kitchen with
48:13
Speaker 12: a breakfast bar. You know, it certainly looks pretty fantastic.
48:17
Speaker 12: But they have some places all over the world, not
48:21
Speaker 12: just in the United States, here in Australia as well
48:24
Speaker 12: and the UK. So I think we'll be seeing more
48:26
Speaker 12: reports as they work out how to divide up their fortune.
48:33
Speaker 1: Yes, and apparently Hugh Jackman is now living in that
48:36
Speaker 1: apartment with his new lady who he perhaps was seeing
48:41
Speaker 1: for many many years throughout his marriage, allegedly allegedly a
48:45
Speaker 1: gab power. Pleasure to speak to you tonight, Thanks for
48:48
Speaker 1: your time, and that's all. The time we have, I'll
48:52
Speaker 1: see you tomorrow night at eleven up. Next it's Newsnight
49:00
Speaker 3: Six
