  Speaker 2: This is the reader, Panehi.

  Speaker 3: Show, Good evening and welcome to the Rita panahe show.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: I'm Danikidi Giorgio coming up tonight. Australia US relations are
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: the closest in the world.
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: That's according to Acting Prime Minister Richard Marles. Is he serious?
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: Another nail in the coffin.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: For Chris Bowen's renewables fantasy Labour's SunShot solar program is
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: failing as hundreds of millions of dollars in available grants
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: are yet to be taken up in PLYMA will join me.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: New York Mayor Democratic nominee Oran Mandani.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: Repeatedly refuses to say that HERMAS should lay down its weapons.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: C J.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: Pearson is coming up, Michael.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Loftus on Robert Irwin's emotional Dancing with the Star's tribute
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: to his mother, and of course Lefty's losing it as
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Karen's go wild. But first tonight to reports of whispers
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: within the coalition's more conservative ranks of a major shakeup
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: of the center right. The Australian's Greg Brown reports that
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: after an acrimonious party room meeting in canber last week,
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: a disenchanted Liberal MP mused that if seven of his
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: colleagues defected to the Nationals, the balance of power within
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: the coalition would be flipped.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: And that quote.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Options being discussed in casual meetings in bars and restaurants
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: in Canberra include federalizing the Queensland model for the Liberal
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: National Party or finding enough coalition MPs with common ground
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: to form a new party altogether, in outcomes some Conservatives
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: believe would force some moderates to find another home. The
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: discussions come amid concerns among Conservatives that their views on
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: climate and energy policy were irreconcilable with city based moderates.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Joining me now for more on this is Deputy Director
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: of the Institute of Public Affairs Daniel Wilde. Good to
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: see you again, Daniel, thanks for joining me. Look, clearly
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of grumblings right now. Well, I've got
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: to say at the heart of this, the issue means
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: the party is still talking about itself with no policy.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: But realistically, how are they even going to come to
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: an agreement on policy, like on energy when there are
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: so many divisions? What do you make of these reports?
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: Look, that's exactly right, I mean, this is going to
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: be a thousand mile march for the Liberal Party to
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: get where they need to go, and they've only just
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: left the front door of the House. So any suggestion
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: that this debate about the party's future needs to be
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: truncated and they need to move on is premature. There
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: needs to be a long period of debate about what
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: the Liberal Party really stands for.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: And you mentioned the point about net.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: Zero and the irreconcilable differences within the Liberal Party, Well,
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: that's exactly right. How can you have a single party
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: in representing a group of people who support net zero
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: and a group of people who are opposed to net zero.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: These are not differences that can be resolved overnight. The
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: policy of net zero is clearly any liberal policy because
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: it requires a significant amount of government intervention into our
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: lives to get there. And the other point that I
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: would make is that the coalition was in government for
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: a decade and they have failed to undergo any meaningful
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: introspection about their future.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: So this is going to take a long time to resolve.
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: It would not surprise me, Danika to see one or
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: two Liberal members defect to the Nationals in the coming weeks,
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: unless there is a dramatic change to direction of the
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: Liberal Party.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Look, I wouldn't surprise me either, and right now it's
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: very clear there are deep divisions and they're still twelve
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: months away from even coming up with an energy.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: Policy, so we'll wait and see. Now.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: The Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Richard Miles has
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: made some astonishing claims ahead of Anthony Albanese's scheduled meeting
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: with Donald Trump, including that he doesn't think that there's
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: any country that the US is closer to than Australia
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: in terms of how we engage on the level of
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: trust that is there, and that he has not met
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: President Trump, but everything I hear is that he's very favorably.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: Disposed towards Australia. You know, Dan, how.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Can he seriously think that the relations are the closest
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: in the world And we've been here with tariffs, the
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Pentagon's reviewing aucust Albo hasn't had a meeting until now.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: The elephant of the room's Kevin, Right, what's Miles on about?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Well, good question. I'm none the wiser.
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: I think that this is a ridiculous statement. I mean, clearly,
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: relations between the US and Australia are not the closest
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: in the world. The relationship between our two countries is
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: the lowest it has been in many, many years.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: We know that there has always.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: Been an anti American street within the Labor Party, including
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: from Anthony Albernizi himself, who has always been skeptical about
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: the United States. He was able to spend six days
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: in China before he has even met with the US President.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: You're right to point out that there are concerns about AUCAST.
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: It would not surprise me if AUCUST did not go
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: ahead under its current guys. And the other point that
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: I would make is there is also a non trivial
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: chance that the actual ANSUS relationship would fall apart. Imagine
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: a scenario where China invades Taiwan as an example, which
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: is what China has said it is going to do
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: in the coming years. I can't imagine that Anthony Alvenezi
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: would go with the US President into defending Taiwan. So
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: I think the relationship is heavily strained. And I don't
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: know what Richard Miles is talking about.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: To be honest, no neither do I.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: But I feel like we all can get our popcorn
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: ready ahead of the meeting next week. I can't wait
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: to hear what happens there. Now, Dan, the Institute of
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Public Affairs has released new polling data showing that seventy
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: one percent of Australians agree with the following statement that
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Australia should temporarily pause its intake of new immigrants until
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: more economic and social infrastructure such as schools, roads, hospitals
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: and houses are built. But perhaps more surprisingly, seventy four
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: percent of those age eighteen to twenty four support that statement,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: which is skyrock from just fifty percent in twenty twenty three.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: And also seventy seven percent of Aussie's agree or strongly
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: agree that mass migration is making Australia more divided, and
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: that includes the majority of eighteen to twenty four year olds.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: What does that suggest, do you think, Dan?
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: What it shows us a couple of things. Firstly, that
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: immigration is a huge concern for Australians, and of course
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: Australians are not anti immigration. It's just that Australians want
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: an immigration policy that's in our national interest, that's planned for,
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: that has the consent of the community, and that is
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: targeted towards areas of economic need, and that plainly hasn't
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: happened over the last few years. It's placing enormous strain
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: in our economy. We know that per capita economic growth,
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: which is the relevant measure of living standards, has been
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: going backwards. We know that our society is also more
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: divided than at any time since World War Two. When
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: it comes to young Australians, I think this is really revealing.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: And we see this not just with immigration, but we're
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: also seeing young Australia in support our national flag, support
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: Australia Day. They are rejecting wokism and political correctness such
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: as we welcome to country. And that's because this youngest
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: generation is the most put upon generation that we've ever seen.
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: They have come through an education system which teaches them
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: that Australia is a bad country, that humans are causing
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: climate change which will cause the world to end, and
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: they are very much rebelling against the overtures of the establishment.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: And we're seeing that.
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: Across all areas of our society. And this is not
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: just young men, it's young women as well. So we
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: are seeing a pushback among the young generation and this
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: latest immigration.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Polling that we commission is just further evidence of that.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Look absolutely, and this is exactly why we need to
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: have a debate about migration right now. But neither sides
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: of politics want to have this debate. It's no wonder
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: that Pauline Hanson's doing so well in the latest polling
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: because she's really the only one prosecuting this. And it's
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: interesting as well, the birth rate in Australia has hit
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: a record low. According to the ABS, the headline total
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: fertility rate has fallen to one point four births per
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: woman in twenty twenty four, lower than the standard two
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: point one which is required to stop the population from crashing.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: Dan, why do you think that this is.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: The case, Well, there's two factors here. One is economic
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: that it is more expensive to raise a family, whether
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: it's buying a house, whether it's the fact that the
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: tax system discriminates against couples because it treats you as
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: an individual the tax system, so your taxes don't go
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: in as a family, which is why things like income
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: tax splitting is a very good idea. There's also the
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: cultural component to it. I hinted at it before, which
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: is this idea that some people have, which is that
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: you shouldn't have children because having children is bad for
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: the environment and bad for the climate, so it makes
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: people anxious about having children. And there's also been an
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: emphasis in our culture that you should be defined by
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: your career and your professional pursuits rather than what you
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: do on the domestic front as well. So I think
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: all of these things have come to a head to
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: discourage younger Astranans from having children.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I think that's a real shame.
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: I think that our public policies should be encouraging family
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: formation and should be encouraging families to stay together and
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: to be able to raise their children in a way
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: that they see fit. But there are so many factors
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: at the moment, like I say, economically and culturally that
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: are actually working against that.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: I agree, I think economically definitely. And it's a shame.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: You know, the Abbey chatfields of the world. You know,
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: as you mentioned this climate hysteria, Now I can't have
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: a kid because you know it's bad for the environment.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: I mes just it's such a load of nonsense, and
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: clearly it's all reflecting in the statistics. Now let's talk
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: about what's going on in Victoria. I mean, this whole
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: case has baffled me from the beginning. Victoria's Corrections Minister
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: has ordered the state's prison authority to strengthen protections for
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: female inmates.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: After, of course, there's this case.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Of a convicted male sex offender who raped his own
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: daughter now identifies as a woman and is being housed
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: in a women's prison. Now, this totally contradicts comments that
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: we heard from the Premier just Into Allen two weeks
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: ago when she said that she would not intervene in it.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: The issue is dan, of course, just Into Alan, she
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: doesn't even know what a woman is, so you know,
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: she can't come out and say, oh I protect women.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: It's completely redundant. She doesn't she can't define what a
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: woman is. I just don't understand why it has just
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: taken now sustained pressure from women's groups in particularly like
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Women's Forum Australia to actually get some attention from this
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: labor government on what is a serious issue.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Well that's right.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't understand why the opposition of Victoria
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: doesn't make the exact point you made, which is, how
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: on earth could you pursue these laws when you don't
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: know what a woman is. I think that's a fantastic
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: point to make in it and I think it would
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: just show to regular people what to joke the whole
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: system is. And the fact that this offender, who has
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: committed the most heinous offenses that you can imagine, I think,
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: had a two and a half year sentence. I mean,
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: it makes a complete mockery of our justice system. And
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: we know that confidence in the police and in the
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: justice system in Victoria is at a record lows, at
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: the lowest of any jurisdiction in Australia. Partly that's a
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: product of the lockdowns where police very enthusiastically enforced unconscionable
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: restrictions on our lives, but it's also because of this
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: ridiculous sentencing and hypocritical double standard that we see. And
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: this is happening at a time when crime is at
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: a record high, so unfortunately, I just think that that
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: confidence of Victorians having their justice system will keep eroding.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so too.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: And I just don't understand why the Premier deiner Alan
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: wouldn't intervene in this.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, look what happened in the Northern Territory just yesterday.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Leaf and Offiaro said there'll be no men and women's present.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, is that easy it's just literally that simple,
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: but ideology always within for some reason in these woke governments.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: Now One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has lashed Labor over
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: his decision to accept Gars and refugees, doubling down on
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: her call to send them back immediately given the Gaza
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: peace steal.
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: Here she was, when you got twenty countries that have
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: signed this peace agreement, let them go to some Muslim
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: country or the Arab country where they should have gone
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: the first place, not here to Australia. I don't want
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: these people here.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: And the reality is is we had three thousand gardens
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: coming to this country last year with little to note
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: security checks. We were never given any reason for it.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: We were never given any explanation. We don't know what
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: if they pose a risk, We absolutely know nothing. There
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: is now a piece steel on the table. Should they
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: go home?
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: Well, I think it's something we need to debate. And
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: I think that this reinforces the comments that Senator to
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: Center Price made that there are elements of our migration
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: system that appear to be politicized. You know what other
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: explanation is there for all of this? We know that
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: before the last election, Tony Burke rushed through thousands of
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: new citizens in labor seats. We know we've got this
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: scandal with the ISIS brides coming back to Australia under secrecy,
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: and now we have this situation with those coming in
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: from Gaza who have not gone through appropriate checks. So
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: you know, to make the point that this is politicized
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: is obviously the case when anyone raises that you're told
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: that you're not allowed to say that you're a racist,
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: that you know, just be quiet about it. But you know,
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: this gets back to the point we're making before. We
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: need to have a debate on these issues, the economic,
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: the social and the national security implications of this. And
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: it's not for the political class to tell Australians what
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: they're allowed to debate and what they're not allowed to debate.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: No exactly.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, we've let so many people in this country
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: like these ISIS brides, who you know, do not share
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: our values. This is exactly why we do need this conversation.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Daniel Wild, nice to see as always, thanks for your time.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Well there's been another nail in the coffin for Chris
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Bowen's renewables only magic carpet Ride. Labour's billion dollar SunShot
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: solar program, which the Minister promised us would supercharge his
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: goal of making Australia a renewable energy superpower, is failing.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: Would you believe?
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: More than twelve months after the program was launched, hundreds
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: of millions of dollars in available grants are yet to
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: be taken up.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: In fact, it's so.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: Bad the initiative is being described as a sad joke.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Joining me now for more on this is esteemed author
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: and geologist Professor Ian Plymer Ian. Thanks for joining me. Look,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Australia still needs to install twenty thousand solar panels a
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: day between now and twenty thirty to reach the emissions
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: reduction targets.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: The majority of these are obviously being.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Manufactured in China and this program has only issued contracts
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: to two local companies.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: What does this suggest, well, is.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Suggest that's a great rought. It's suggesting that if.
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: You want to employ Australians then the Australian government is
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: not allowing you to do it, and you have to
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: as the questionable why are we doing this? Most industrial
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: sites could not put down twenty thousand solar panels in
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: that period of time. And the second thing is that
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: we have yet to show that solar energy is going
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: to do anything else but put up the prices, make
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: our electricity more expensive, make it more unreliable. So we've
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: got a question, why on as are we doing this.
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: It's a total waste of money, it's a total waste
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: of resources. And if we really want to be a
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: renewables country, then we should use the energies that we've
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: got and we can keep replacing the energy we use
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: with newly minted gas or coal or uranium.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, look absolutely, and yet we've got Bowens sending us
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: on this path to the never and ever with all
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: of these ridiculous schemes that are absolutely failing on a
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: daily basis, and we're going broken backwards because of it.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Origin Energy CEO Frank Colabria has declared that governments must
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: act immediately to speed up Australia's egxsit from coal, insure
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: robust community support for decarbonizing, reconcile our role as a
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: major l G exporter, while also addressing a looming gas shortages.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: He said the reforms are needed now because our energy
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: market is no longer working to deliver affordable, reliable power.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: Ian, what do you make of these comments.
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: Well, I see one energy producer trying to wipe out
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: other energy producers, and they're saying that we are producing
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: a carbon riche compound called gas to someone else producing
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: a carbon ridge compound called coal. Let's see if we
• 16:34
  Speaker 7: can wipe them out and control the market. The whole
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: concept using the word decarbonization is nonsense. It doesn't mean anything.
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: We actually have a carbon based society. We eat carbon
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: based foods, we breathe out carbon dioxide. We burn coal
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: to make electricity, which is the cheapest and most reliable
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: way of doing it. We burn gas to make electricity,
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: we export gas. I see it's one competing industry trying
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: to wipe out another. And that's just not good enough
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: because we Australians end up paying for this, and we're
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: already paying for ruinable energy such as.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Wind and solar.
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: Gas is a little bit cheaper, col is far far cheaper.
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: So he's talking his own book. Quite happy to do that.
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: That's how business works. But the Autronian governments will not
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: be supporting it.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: No, definitely not. Yes, I agree.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: I think the comments were certainly very rich but unsurprising.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: Now, look, speaking of costs, let's have a look.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: At these revelations that the price of carbon could triple
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: under Labour's twenty thirty five climate targets. Now this is
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: under the safeguard mechanism, more than two hundred big emitters
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: in the mining, oil and gas, manufacturing, transport and waste
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: sectors are required to reduce their emissions by four point
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: nine percent annually, either through direct cuts or via the
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: purchase of carbon offsets. But I mean Ian, it just
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: seems like these costs they're just getting higher and higher.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: They're going through the roof, no matter which way you
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: look at it.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Well, they are going through the roof.
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: And it's a scheme by our labor government to put
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: workers out of jobs. This is the end result of it.
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: And the whole concept of carbon emissions has to be questioned.
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: We are emitting plant food rather than hugging plants.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: We give them food. It's a much better way of
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: doing things.
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: So you have to question the whole basis of having
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: carbon taxes, carbon emission taxes, putting up prices because of
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: element number six in the period of table, there are
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: better ways of doing it. When we did it in
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: the past, and that's when we had a manufacturing industry
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: in this country, and when we were highly competiting. Now
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: anyone who employs people is having an artificial cost dropped
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: on them by the government. And these are carbon costs.
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: They're totally unnecessary. Our competitors don't have them, and it's
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: about time we stopped sending ourselves broken put people at work.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, look, I completely completely agree with you.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: Now look, and I thought that this next one was
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: quite interesting. Grid operator Endeavor Energy, which distributes electricity across
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: western Sydney and the Blue Mountains, is using artificial intelligence
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: to streamline its operations, from finding the most efficient routes
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: for routine drone patrols to automatically switching off electricity currents
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: when power lines are down.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: What do you think of this? Is this just the
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: way of the future, well used.
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: In many industrial operations now, it's been around for a
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: long while, so in various minds, we've got automated traps,
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: automatic essays, systems, automatic drillings, the AI systems that you
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: can now put together, be it electricity distribution or food
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: distribution or mining of fundamental commodities. They are becoming pretty sophisticated. Again.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: They're putting people out of work again.
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: They're not fail safe because when something goes wrong, you
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: have serious problems.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Which get compounded with a snowballing effect.
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: But I find it very interesting where we can now
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: run more efficient industry using AI. We should be able
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: to run even more efficient industry if we had lower
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: energy costs. And to have an electricity distributor.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Is in itself an anathema.
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: We used to have power companies that mine the coal,
• 20:31
  Speaker 7: burnt the coal to make steam that drove a turbine.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: They then owned the poles and bias, and they then.
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: Distributed it and because it was vertically integrated, the costs
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: were low. So we have a company that's plugged into
• 20:44
  Speaker 7: the middle of the whole operation, which is lowering its costs.
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: But I'll bet my bottom dollar those costs don't get
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: transferred onto the consumer.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: Look, that's a really interesting point.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: I find it fascinating that AI is being used to
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: improve the system. Maybe it might be better than the renewables,
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: because certainly the renewables isn't improving the system at all,
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: and in fact, it's making things ten times worse than
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: what they should be.
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: I think we need intelligence rather than artificial intelligence, and
• 21:14
  Speaker 7: just be a little bit intelligent about where we get
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: our energy from, what our competitors are doing, and what
• 21:19
  Speaker 7: our costs.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: It doesn't need to be artificial. We've already got it.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what exactly, We just need some smart
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: politicians from the Labor Party to actually say, hey, something
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: is wrong here, this is not working exactly, Ian Plymer,
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: nice to see it was always Thanks so much for
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: your time.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Good night.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: Still to come, lefties losing it and New York mayor
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Democratic nominees or on mam Dami repeatedly refused to say
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: that HAMAS should lay down its weapons. C. J. Pearson
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: is coming up next, and now it is time for
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: lefties losing it now. Look, we know that kooky Karbala
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Harris loves to spin a drunken narrative, but this might
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: be her craziest story she's ever spun.
• 22:09
  Speaker 8: What I've done in the fact that I was elected
• 22:13
  Speaker 8: district Attorney for two terms as the first woman elected
• 22:16
  Speaker 8: attorney general of the state of California, run the second
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: largest Department of Justice in the United States, second only
• 22:22
  Speaker 8: to the United States Department of Justice.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: I was the United States.
• 22:25
  Speaker 8: Senator, a second black woman elected.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: In the history of the United States. Senator, and I.
• 22:30
  Speaker 8: Was the first woman vice president of the United States.
• 22:33
  Speaker 8: Some people have actually said I was the most qualified
• 22:36
  Speaker 8: candidate ever to run for president.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: I like you. I like this.
• 22:43
  Speaker 8: Some people say, very nice, but go ahead, I'm just
• 22:47
  Speaker 8: speaking fact.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: Sorry, let me just get this right. She actually thinks she.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: Was the most qualified presidential candidate in US history. How
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: much wine did she have before someone handed her that microphone?
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: Did Doug tell her? Maybe?
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: I don't know, because does this scream most qualified to you?
• 23:10
  Speaker 8: That's why we're here today, because we have the ability
• 23:13
  Speaker 8: to see what can be unburdened by what has been
• 23:18
  Speaker 8: around You think you just fell out of a coconut tree.
• 23:26
  Speaker 8: You exist in the context of all in which you
• 23:31
  Speaker 8: live and what came before you.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, poor old Painaclada, Karmela, poor woman. Now to former
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has actually officially lost it
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: when you the time would come and.
• 23:44
  Speaker 9: It has congresszoning Pelosi, are you at all concerned that
• 23:48
  Speaker 9: the new January sixth committee will find you liable.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: For that day?
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: And radio?
• 23:52
  Speaker 9: Are you at all concerned about the new January sixth
• 23:54
  Speaker 9: committee finding you liable for that day?
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Why did you refuse.
• 23:59
  Speaker 9: The National Goal on January sixth.
• 24:02
  Speaker 10: Shut up, I did not refuse the National Guard.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: The president didn't send it.
• 24:07
  Speaker 11: Why are you coming here with Republican talking point as
• 24:09
  Speaker 11: if you're as serious journal the.
• 24:11
  Speaker 9: American people want to know, we still have questions.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Thank you, oh dear, and look at it. If she's
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: got nothing to hide about the National Guard, tell us
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: the truth. She's so angry.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: Now, look, I have to say I am concerned about
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: the caliber of candidates for California governor. First, of course,
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: it was deranged Democrat Katie Porter snapping at a journalist,
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: and now I present Democrat Betty Yee who thinks biological
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: men who identify as women should compete in the twenty
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: twenty eight Olympics in California in the women's division.
• 24:43
  Speaker 12: Well, you've got the Olympics coming to California to la.
• 24:47
  Speaker 12: So are you suggesting that you would allow trans athletes
• 24:50
  Speaker 12: to compete in women's sport in the Olympics if you
• 24:52
  Speaker 12: were governor.
• 24:53
  Speaker 13: Well, I think there's still a lot of discussion that
• 24:55
  Speaker 13: needs to happen. I think there's a lot of information
• 24:57
  Speaker 13: we need to learn about what's really happening with the
• 25:01
  Speaker 13: ability of trans athletes to compete. But my statement is
• 25:05
  Speaker 13: about being able to be sure that they can compete.
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: And right now my.
• 25:09
  Speaker 12: Question is whether you think they should compete in women's
• 25:11
  Speaker 12: sport in the Olympics because it's coming to Las, it's relevant.
• 25:15
  Speaker 13: I think transgender female athletes are women athletes.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: And look, if that wasn't absurd enough, because it's obviously
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: this is based on actual biology.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: It just went downhill from there.
• 25:26
  Speaker 12: Can you think of a single sport in the Olympics
• 25:29
  Speaker 12: where men would not have an advantage over women, with
• 25:33
  Speaker 12: the exception potentially of archery.
• 25:36
  Speaker 13: You know, I think you can see female athletes where,
• 25:41
  Speaker 13: particularly in track and field, where agility is possibly hang on.
• 25:45
  Speaker 12: Are you suggesting that women so hang on? You think
• 25:48
  Speaker 12: that women could could compete against men in track and field,
• 25:53
  Speaker 12: like in one hundred meters, two hundred meters, ten thousand meters?
• 25:58
  Speaker 13: Perhaps you know I'm not it's expert.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 26:03
  Speaker 12: Have you seen the Have you seen the times that
• 26:05
  Speaker 12: women and men record in the Olympics for all track
• 26:08
  Speaker 12: and field events? Have you watched you seen Bolt when
• 26:11
  Speaker 12: he smashed the world record for one hundred meters?
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 26:15
  Speaker 12: Yes, So you think that women could run against Usain
• 26:18
  Speaker 12: Bolt for example, at his peak, and that would be fair.
• 26:23
  Speaker 13: I think, Look, I'm just going to say this, there's
• 26:27
  Speaker 13: a lot of misinformation about the ability of transgender.
• 26:30
  Speaker 12: Wasn't my question?
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: I mean you have to laugh, you have to laugh.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Can this woman get any more stupid? Seriously?
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: And this is actually a woman who wants to be
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: an elected official? Please now to nuclear grade nutter. Kathy
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Griffin back having it a totally normal one, this time
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: suggesting the twenty twenty four election was ringed so that
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: Trump could win.
• 26:52
  Speaker 14: I don't think he won in a free and fairy election.
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: You heard me.
• 26:56
  Speaker 14: I'm coming up and saying it myself. I don't care
• 26:58
  Speaker 14: if that means. I Look, because Elon Musk, who's this
• 27:03
  Speaker 14: other Nazi guy running around town who zax and a
• 27:09
  Speaker 14: lot of people think he's a genius, but he's not.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: He's like a fake.
• 27:11
  Speaker 14: Genius anyway, He's a but he's a professional Nazi in
• 27:16
  Speaker 14: my humble opinion, and he's good friends with Trump.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Look, poor old, poor old Kathy really triggered, still triggered
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: all these years later with this TDS. That's just loitering
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: over her, poor woman. And look, speaking of where did
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: the view pull this one?
• 27:34
  Speaker 10: From We should have more Republicans on the show, but
• 27:36
  Speaker 10: they don't want to come on. They're scared of US's
• 27:39
  Speaker 10: like Marjorie's. Tayler Green says that she finds the Republican
• 27:43
  Speaker 10: man afraid of powerful women. Well, that's maybe true of
• 27:46
  Speaker 10: all all the political persuasions. But if they would come
• 27:49
  Speaker 10: on this show and they can explain to us what
• 27:52
  Speaker 10: they're trying to do to this country.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: So the view actually claims Republicans are scared to come
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: on the show. The reality is why would they want
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: to come onto a show full of dumb, lunatic liberal women. Please,
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: and now it's time for some Karen's Gone Wild, your
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: favorite I know, starting with an apparent anger release meeting
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: in the forest.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: Is it an exorcism? I don't know.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: It's a scene out of a horror movie, which is
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: maybe where they found this woman from. And why don't
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: they all look the same? That they're all very similar,
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: aren't they? And why do they just complain about it everything?
• 29:01
  Speaker 11: Is it wild that a woman doesn't have her own
• 29:04
  Speaker 11: name that isn't connected to a man because her last
• 29:08
  Speaker 11: name is either her father's last name because she was
• 29:11
  Speaker 11: the property of her father, or her husband's last name,
• 29:15
  Speaker 11: because she is the property of her husband, So should
• 29:19
  Speaker 11: we just all change our last names to Vagina.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: Joining me now is political advisor and commentator Cjpearson. CJ
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: thanks very much for joining me on the show. Let's
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: start with New York Mayor Democratic nominee Zoran Ma'amdani, who's
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: having yet another totally normal one. This time he's repeatedly
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: refused to say that Hermas should lay down its weapons.
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: Have a look at this.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: Do you believe that her Mask should lay down their
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: weapons and leave the leadership in Gaza.
• 29:49
  Speaker 15: I believe that any future here in New York City
• 29:52
  Speaker 15: is one that we have to make sure that's affordable
• 29:54
  Speaker 15: for all, and as it pertains to Israel and Palestine,
• 29:56
  Speaker 15: that we have to ensure that there is peace and
• 29:58
  Speaker 15: that is the future that we have to fight for.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: But you won't say that Hamas should lay down their
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: arms and give up leadership in Gaza.
• 30:03
  Speaker 15: I don't really have opinions about the future of Hamas
• 30:06
  Speaker 15: and Israel beyond the question of justice and safety and
• 30:09
  Speaker 15: the fact that anything has to abide by international law,
• 30:12
  Speaker 15: and that applies to Hamas, that applies to Israeli military,
• 30:14
  Speaker 15: applies to anyone you could ask me about.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: Say Jay, what an utterly bizarre lack of response. I mean,
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: Hamas is a terror group.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: Why is it so.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: Hard for him to say, yes, these Jihadis should indeed
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: lay down their weapons.
• 30:28
  Speaker 16: Yeah, why is it so hard for democrats condemned terrorists?
• 30:31
  Speaker 16: You know, it's a question that puzzles me every single day.
• 30:34
  Speaker 16: But zoon, mom, Donnie's yet another example of a Democrat
• 30:37
  Speaker 16: who lacks the courage to meet the moment. You know,
• 30:40
  Speaker 16: here's the deal here, you know, when you look at
• 30:42
  Speaker 16: what's happening, you know, in New York City, in the
• 30:45
  Speaker 16: Middle East and all these things, it's convenient for him to,
• 30:48
  Speaker 16: ironically enough become an America first patriot, Right, he says,
• 30:52
  Speaker 16: let's talk about what's happened in New York City. Let'sppen,
• 30:54
  Speaker 16: Let's talk about what's happening in America. But where is
• 30:56
  Speaker 16: that energy on any other issue? What we're talking here
• 31:00
  Speaker 16: is that this is someone who has sympathized openly with himas,
• 31:03
  Speaker 16: who was sympathized openly with the very terrorists who committed
• 31:06
  Speaker 16: the acts that occurred October seventh, and so, yeah, I'm
• 31:09
  Speaker 16: not surprised that he lacks the moral conviction to condemn
• 31:12
  Speaker 16: evil for what it is. But what I will say
• 31:14
  Speaker 16: is that I think the people of New York City
• 31:16
  Speaker 16: need to be cognizant when they make the decision on
• 31:18
  Speaker 16: election day as to who will be their next mayor
• 31:20
  Speaker 16: someone who cannot condemn terrorism in a city that was
• 31:23
  Speaker 16: affected by nine to eleven, or someone that will lead.
• 31:26
  Speaker 16: And I got to tell you, it's like, I don't
• 31:27
  Speaker 16: like the remaining option, the leader whom would not be
• 31:29
  Speaker 16: my first choice. And I think Kurtis Sola would be
• 31:31
  Speaker 16: the best. But he is a slim, narrow path to victory.
• 31:34
  Speaker 16: But Zera armand Danni he will destroy America's brightest city
• 31:39
  Speaker 16: if he's allowed to take office.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: Oh look, I don't doubt that you're right. I mean,
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: the the candidates on the.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: Table right now are really you know, it's slim pickens.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: But Zora m ma'm donis is an absolute shocker and
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: it would be dangerous I think if he was to
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: get in. Now, Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville, who look,
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: he's been a very frequent quick critic of Donald Trump,
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: but he now says that the President does deserve due
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: credit for negotiating a peace deal to stop the war
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: in Gaza.
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: Have a listen bringing these hostage back.
• 32:12
  Speaker 7: I don't know, you know, you can show well, I
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: may not last that long, but you know what, he
• 32:16
  Speaker 7: did it, and I think it looks a he deserves
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: some credit for him, right, they just do.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: The reality is CJ.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump has been able to do what the Democrats
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: could not. Not one Democrat has been able to do this,
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: and all the people James Carville has at least given
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: some acknowledgment. It's a real shame that the Dems cannot
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: do the same.
• 32:41
  Speaker 17: Yeah, you're exactly right.
• 32:42
  Speaker 16: President Trump did in ten months what Joe Biden could
• 32:44
  Speaker 16: not do in four years. And he did it through
• 32:46
  Speaker 16: the old fashioned Reagan ideal of peace through strength.
• 32:50
  Speaker 17: And he deserves a lot of credit for it.
• 32:52
  Speaker 16: And I got to tell you that a lot of
• 32:54
  Speaker 16: folks leading up to this incredible piece deal so that
• 32:57
  Speaker 16: it was impossible, so that it could not be done.
• 32:59
  Speaker 16: But President Trump did the impossible, as he does every
• 33:03
  Speaker 16: single day. And so when I look at what the
• 33:05
  Speaker 16: left is saying and all of these things they want
• 33:07
  Speaker 16: to say, free Palace, signed this free Palestine, that well,
• 33:09
  Speaker 16: President Trump just did that. So give him his flowers,
• 33:13
  Speaker 16: thank him, show your gratitude because he did as I
• 33:16
  Speaker 16: just said, what Joe Biden showed an inability to.
• 33:19
  Speaker 17: Do every single day.
• 33:20
  Speaker 16: You want to know why he could not do it
• 33:22
  Speaker 16: because the world didn't respect him, our enemies didn't fear him.
• 33:26
  Speaker 16: But President Trump again has restored American strength and integrity
• 33:31
  Speaker 16: on the world stage. And that is why this deal
• 33:33
  Speaker 16: was done, and that is what this deal will sustain.
• 33:36
  Speaker 16: It is an incredible march towards peace that we have
• 33:40
  Speaker 16: never seen before. And God bless him forward because as
• 33:42
  Speaker 16: the Bible said, blessed are the peacemakers.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and Donald Trump's been the only later really around
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: the world to be honest with the moral clarity and
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: the moral courage to say, you know, all hell will
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: break loose if her must has not released the hostages.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: He said it from day one, and here we are today.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: So credit to him. He deserves all the credit he
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: gets on this. Meanwhile, the President has confirmed that he
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: authorized the CIA to conduct covert operations inside Venezuela and
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: said he was considering strikes targeting drug cartels there. US
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: forces have already conducted at least five strikes on suspected
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: drug carrying boats in the Caribbean in recent weeks, killing
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: twenty seven people.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: Now, Donald Trump was asked today why he.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: Is not stopping the boats via the coast Guard instead
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: of striking them.
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: Here was his response, because.
• 34:34
  Speaker 18: We've been doing that for thirty years and it has
• 34:37
  Speaker 18: been totally ineffective. They have faster boats. Some of these
• 34:42
  Speaker 18: boats are seriously, I mean, they're world class speed boats,
• 34:47
  Speaker 18: but they're not faster than missiles. But we've been trying
• 34:49
  Speaker 18: to do that for years, and so much of the
• 34:52
  Speaker 18: drugs twenty five to thirty percent would come in through
• 34:54
  Speaker 18: the seas. Right now we have i would say none
• 34:57
  Speaker 18: coming in through the seas.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Human rights experts are calling this extra judicial executions, but
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: safety comes first, right, I mean, this is an administration
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: that is not mucking around clearly and not taking any
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: chances to protect its citizens.
• 35:13
  Speaker 17: Yeah, you're exactly right. These people are not drug dealers.
• 35:15
  Speaker 16: They're narco terrorists, and I think that we should treat
• 35:18
  Speaker 16: terrorists in the way in which President Trump is treating them.
• 35:20
  Speaker 16: You know, our national security is the most paramount thing.
• 35:22
  Speaker 16: But also to let's get down to the brass tacks
• 35:25
  Speaker 16: of all of this, right, these people are poisoning Americans.
• 35:28
  Speaker 16: They are you know, coming and bringing this poison into
• 35:31
  Speaker 16: our borders. They're you know, leading to the death of many,
• 35:34
  Speaker 16: many young people all across this country. I lost friends
• 35:37
  Speaker 16: because of the terrible, despicable things these folks will bring
• 35:40
  Speaker 16: into our country. And so President Trump is exactly right
• 35:43
  Speaker 16: to you know, respond to this with acts of strength.
• 35:46
  Speaker 17: I think that'll continue to do it. I think the
• 35:48
  Speaker 17: American people resignedly support his actions in doing so.
• 35:52
  Speaker 16: And so I've got to say, while many of the
• 35:54
  Speaker 16: folks in the main TREA medium may be clutching their pearls,
• 35:57
  Speaker 16: the American people are clapping their hands.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: Look, I don't doubt that absolutely. Safety first. Now, Democratic
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: lawmakers have stormed House Speaker Mike Johnson's office demanding that
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: he swear in a newly elected representative.
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: Have a look at this CJ.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: That just makes such a spectacle of themselves. And I've
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: got to say the Democrats seem to be really reveling
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: in this government shutdown.
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: I mean, Mike Johnson has.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: Already said that he would swear this representative in once
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: Congress reaches an agreement to reopen the government.
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: But the problem is the.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: Dems are insisting on playing these child childish games.
• 36:43
  Speaker 17: No, you're exactly right, and I think you know I'm old.
• 36:45
  Speaker 16: I remember when story in the office of the Speaker
• 36:47
  Speaker 16: of the House, we would have been called an insurrection
• 36:49
  Speaker 16: or January six. But I guess when the Democrats do it,
• 36:52
  Speaker 16: no one cares. But let's talk about this shutdown, right,
• 36:54
  Speaker 16: this is a Schumer shutdown. If the Democrats want to
• 36:57
  Speaker 16: reopen the government, they could easily do so, we need
• 36:58
  Speaker 16: a few votes from stem Crats to do it. They
• 37:01
  Speaker 16: continue with bold those votes as a part of this
• 37:03
  Speaker 16: partisan political style. Republicans have done their job. The House
• 37:07
  Speaker 16: has done their job. The power now lies with incidate
• 37:09
  Speaker 16: Democrats to do their job. But yet they continue not
• 37:13
  Speaker 16: to do so. They continue to hold you know, the
• 37:16
  Speaker 16: pay of our braveon and women who serve on our military hostage.
• 37:19
  Speaker 16: They continue to hold the pay of our braveon and
• 37:21
  Speaker 16: women who are serving our country and the administration from
• 37:24
  Speaker 16: the Department of Defense, Department of Health and Human Services,
• 37:27
  Speaker 16: critical resources hostage because they want to prove a political
• 37:31
  Speaker 16: and partisan point. And soon what we will see is that,
• 37:34
  Speaker 16: you know, people that are living in poverty, women and
• 37:37
  Speaker 16: children will lose their benefits because of again political partisan politics.
• 37:42
  Speaker 17: It's disgusting.
• 37:43
  Speaker 16: But again it reminds me of what we used to
• 37:45
  Speaker 16: hear from Maya Angelou, right, she said, when someone shows
• 37:48
  Speaker 16: you who they are, believe in the first time, the
• 37:50
  Speaker 16: Democrats have shown us who they are, political partisans who
• 37:54
  Speaker 16: don't give a damn about this country, and at every
• 37:57
  Speaker 16: opportunity take no hesitation exhibiting just that fact.
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, look, good point.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: And they're just wasting everyone's time in the process with
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: these ridiculous demands as well that they've been putting out,
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: you know, for the government to reopen it. It's just unbelievable. Now,
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: CJ I found this one quite interesting. Election officials in
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: Minnesota have confirmed that illegals can now vote.
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: In state elections.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: Would you believe after Tim Wolls signed a driver's Licenses
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: for all law back in twenty twenty three, allowing them
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: to obtain government issued photo IDs for free, have.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: A look.
• 38:35
  Speaker 7: It's done.
• 38:37
  Speaker 11: A packed room at the seat, Paul Armory erupted after
• 38:40
  Speaker 11: the governor's signature, me driver's license for all the law
• 38:43
  Speaker 11: of the land.
• 38:46
  Speaker 19: So we give driver's licenses to anyone here. You don't
• 38:51
  Speaker 19: have to be a citizen, you don't have to, which
• 38:54
  Speaker 19: is a photo idea. So if someone comes in their register,
• 38:58
  Speaker 19: they have the driver's lace, but they have an incorrect
• 39:01
  Speaker 19: social or no social or whatever, so then they become incomplete.
• 39:07
  Speaker 19: But if they walk in to vote with their driver's license,
• 39:12
  Speaker 19: is that make them all of a sudden Now, okay,
• 39:16
  Speaker 19: it's truly new venom chair.
• 39:19
  Speaker 20: So the designation on the roster for someone whose registration
• 39:23
  Speaker 20: had been incomplete, if they present the election judge with
• 39:26
  Speaker 20: that acceptable identification document, that would clear the challenge from
• 39:31
  Speaker 20: the roster and they would be permitted to cast a ballot.
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: I can't help but want to say if this was
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: some sort of ploy for a vote grab by the Democrats.
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: But how is something like this allowed?
• 39:43
  Speaker 16: Yeah, it shouldn't be allowed, And it's exactly that it's
• 39:45
  Speaker 16: a vote grab. You know, as many you know, minorities,
• 39:49
  Speaker 16: Black Americans flee the Democrat Party in record numbers, they're
• 39:52
  Speaker 16: having to find new votes and they're fighting that within
• 39:55
  Speaker 16: the populations of illegal aliens, and so they're eager to
• 39:58
  Speaker 16: make sure that they're.
• 39:58
  Speaker 17: Able to vote.
• 40:00
  Speaker 16: You know, as I said in the previous block here,
• 40:03
  Speaker 16: you know, I want to remember when Democrats you know,
• 40:05
  Speaker 16: storming in the office of a speaker would be call
• 40:07
  Speaker 16: an insurrection. Also enough to remember when Americans voted in
• 40:09
  Speaker 16: American elections, but apparently Democrats want to move away from
• 40:12
  Speaker 16: that because they feel as if their grip on power
• 40:16
  Speaker 16: is slowly but surely giving away. And it's rightfully so,
• 40:20
  Speaker 16: because the American people know the Democrats don't care about
• 40:24
  Speaker 16: American citizens.
• 40:25
  Speaker 17: They care about illegal aliens.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: First.
• 40:26
  Speaker 16: Black Americans know it, White Americans know it, we all
• 40:30
  Speaker 16: know it. These people have shown time and again they
• 40:33
  Speaker 16: don't give a damn out the people that actually pay
• 40:35
  Speaker 16: taxes here, that live here, that came here the right way.
• 40:38
  Speaker 16: They only are consumed with continuing their grip on power
• 40:44
  Speaker 16: via the illegal aliens that they've im poured into this country.
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's such a shame.
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: Illegal aliens first, actual American second are unbelievable. But yeah,
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: we're not surprised when it comes to the Democrats now.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: The US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has worn Moscow that
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: the US and its allies will impose costs on Russia
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: for its continued aggression if the war in Ukraine does
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: not come to an end. He said, quote, if we
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: must take this step. The US War Department stands ready
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: to do our part in ways that only the United
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: States can do CJ. Of course, there was that summit
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: recently with Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin on working towards
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: ending this war, but it does seem to be.
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: Now at a stalemate.
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: How likely is it that the US will indeed step
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: up and make good on these threats if Moscow does
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: not come to the table.
• 41:36
  Speaker 16: Well, I'll tell you I was in the Secretary of
• 41:37
  Speaker 16: War p Hexaff just last week, and when we were
• 41:40
  Speaker 16: talking about this, he said that the Trump Doctor in
• 41:44
  Speaker 16: his Pea Street strength, you know, Mark Rubio has the
• 41:46
  Speaker 16: peace part and p Hextt has the war part. I
• 41:49
  Speaker 16: gar guarantee you that we're going to work to ensure
• 41:51
  Speaker 16: that both of those factions are working in tenam with
• 41:54
  Speaker 16: one another, where the President actually leads from the front
• 41:57
  Speaker 16: and not from behind. I think Russia knows who they're
• 41:59
  Speaker 16: vialing with. I think Weimer Putin knows who's dealing with,
• 42:02
  Speaker 16: and also Zelenski knows who he's dealing with.
• 42:04
  Speaker 17: And so I have.
• 42:06
  Speaker 16: Rest assured you should all know that President Trump is
• 42:09
  Speaker 16: not going to stop until we ensure that there is
• 42:12
  Speaker 16: peace in this situation, and as has been demonstrated by
• 42:15
  Speaker 16: the way in which she handled the conference between Hamas
• 42:18
  Speaker 16: and Israel, which some would say was a lot more
• 42:20
  Speaker 16: trickier than what we're.
• 42:21
  Speaker 17: Seeing between Russia and Ukraine.
• 42:23
  Speaker 16: He's going to continue to again lead by that doctrine peace,
• 42:26
  Speaker 16: true strength, but also what we like to say here
• 42:28
  Speaker 16: in America, fa fo And I got to tell you,
• 42:32
  Speaker 16: I don't think Russia wants to find out. I don't
• 42:34
  Speaker 16: think Ukraine wants to find out either, And so I
• 42:36
  Speaker 16: think all these folks are gonna come to the table
• 42:38
  Speaker 16: and there's going to be peace very soon in that region.
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: Well, look, if anyone can do it, it's Donald Trump.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: He's done one war, He's helped with that. Let's say
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: Russia Ukraine next.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: C J.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: Pearson, nice to catch up with you. Thank you very
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: much for your time. This evening still to come. Kim
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: Kardashian spills all the tea about her personal life and
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: failed relationships on the Call Her Daddy podcast.
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: Michael Loftus will tell us all about it. Next.
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: Joining me now is us writer and comedian Michael Loftis. Michael,
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: thank you so much for joining me on the show.
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: Let's start with actor Jared Leto. He's come under fire
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: for his performance in the New trom movie. The film
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: itself raked in just thirty three point five million over
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: its opening weekend, despite it having a budget of one
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: hundred and eighty million.
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: Michael, I've got to say, the reviews of this they're terrible.
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: They're so bad.
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: Some are saying that this is the end of Jared
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: Leto as a film poster boy.
• 43:42
  Speaker 21: What do you think, Listen, this is not the end
• 43:48
  Speaker 21: of Jared Leto as a poster boy because it never started.
• 43:52
  Speaker 21: I hope this is a web cup call for home.
• 43:54
  Speaker 21: Stop trying to make Jared Letto even happen. He's not
• 43:58
  Speaker 21: a leading man, he's not a movie star. Jared Leto
• 44:02
  Speaker 21: is like bringing Brussels sprouts to a birthday party. Everybody
• 44:06
  Speaker 21: wants birthday cake and you're serving up a bunch of
• 44:09
  Speaker 21: Jared Leto Brussels sprouts. That's gonna be a big pass
• 44:12
  Speaker 21: every time.
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I could have agreed more. That's such a good analogy.
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: And look, he's had a shopping few years. He's had
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: all these allegations against him, and I just feel like
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: now he's trying to revive himself with this tron movie.
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: It's it looks a flop. It's not something I would
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: go and watch. But even just looking at the trailer,
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: it looks like I can see why it would be
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: an absolute flop. Now, look, we love Robert Irwin down under.
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: He is a homegrown a hero in our eyes. But
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: I see that he's, you know, spreading the love over
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: in the US now taking his talents abroad because he's
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: featuring on Dancing with the Stars. Now, if you remember,
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: his sister, sister Bindi won the competition years ago and
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: she dedicated her contemporary dance to her late father, Steve,
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: another Ossie hero of But we've just seen in the
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: last few days Robert dedicating.
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: His dance to his mother.
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: And this moment was I've got to just say so heartwarming.
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: Have a look at this show them to gain.
• 45:17
  Speaker 11: Because you.
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: Oh, I just Michael, you know that's so sweet. He
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: left the judges in tears and I'm sure many viewers too.
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.
• 45:40
  Speaker 21: It was pretty sweet. I think everybody who watched that
• 45:43
  Speaker 21: show should go and make sure they don't have diabetes.
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: It was it was that sweet, Like.
• 45:50
  Speaker 21: They rehearsed this dance he knew his mom was going
• 45:53
  Speaker 21: to come out.
• 45:53
  Speaker 17: Why did he collapse?
• 45:55
  Speaker 21: Come on, man up, your dad used to wrestle crocodiles.
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: Gotta be.
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: I think you're being me and Michael, he's looking at him.
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: He's given it his best shot out there, and it's
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: an emotional dance.
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: Come on, give him some credit. See that's like, I'm
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: a guy.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: I'm a guy.
• 46:14
  Speaker 21: I've never seen an emotional dance in my life.
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: Well clearly, not no, clearly, but oh look, okay, well
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: us Ozsi's we're all fascinated by him, so you know,
• 46:26
