  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Lake Debate.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Not So Late Debate.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: I'm Liz Storer and I'm so glad you've joined us
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: this evening. And on my left and right you will
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: see mister Joe Hildebrand Gabriella.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Power joining us this evening.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Coming up tonight, we've got a cracker show. Our Sky
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: News favorite Nationals MP Keith Pitt is bidding farewell to Parliament.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Very sorry to see him go. He's one of the
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: good ones. Labour's new anti New Clear ad takes hysterics
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: to an all new high, claiming that nuclear power will
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: cause cancer, strokes and heart attacks.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: This is not a joke. You've got to stick around
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: for this.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: It'll be gracing your own screens. Shortly, an Environment Minister
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Tanya Plivsk under fire for claiming that Late hasn't approved
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: any new coal mines. All that coming up, but first today,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: the Victorian Liberal Party met in Parliament to decide whether
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Moira Deeming's membership should be reinstated. You would be very
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: familiar with the story of Moira Deeming. She was attending
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: a rally in March of last year called Let Women Speak.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: It was all to do with women's rights. The rally
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: was gate crash by a pile of nut job neo
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Nazis and weirdly, literally without any foundation. The leader of
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: the Victorian Liberals, John Persudo, decided to penalize her by
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: kicking her out of the party, claiming that she had
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: something to do with these neo Nazis, that in fact,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: she had Neo Nazi sympathies. As you will recall, also,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: just a week ago, Moira won her case against John Pursuto,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: with a judge ruling that there was absolutely no foundation
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: to these nonsense claims that she had anything to do
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: with the neo Nazis who had gate crashed a rally
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: she was attending.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: And yet, would you believe it, the vote.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: In the Victorian Liberal Party room to restore her membership
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: this morning did.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Not get up.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: The vote was tied fourteen fourteen, and John Pursuto, talk
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: about a man who can't simply say sorry when he's
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: so comprehensibly been proven wrong.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: He used his casting vote to.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Make it fifteen fourteen, therefore meaning Moiradeeming's membership will not
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: be restored to the Liberal Party. The Parliamentary Liberal Party,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Gabby I cannot believe this move.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know how he even.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Got fourteen votes deciding No, you've just been told by
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: a judge you don't have a leg to stand on
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: John Persudo's costs. He's got to give More Redeeming, not
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: only three hundred thousand dollars, but he's got to couple
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: her legal fees. We're being told this bill could in
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: total come to about two million dollars.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: We're going to come up with that.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: But no, he's a dead man walking, and I'll be
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: so pleased to see him go. The way he's treated
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: More Redeeming has just been appalling. This is all John
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: Pursudo's falt. He started this entire sarga. He kicked her
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: out of the party, he lost in the court case
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: that was handed down last week.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: He refused to apologize.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: He's had every opportunity to make up for his mistakes,
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: to embrace her, to let her back in. And this
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: is clearly dispersonal. This is about his egos, about his pride.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: He doesn't want to keep someone like more Redeeming at
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: her back in the party where she has just been.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: She has shown true leadership every step of the way
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: throughout the last year, year and a half, however long
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: this has been dragging on for you know, as I
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: said that, the way she's been treated has just been appalling,
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: and she's shown to be such a strong leader. But
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: you know what John Pseudo is doing, it's just tearing
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: the Liberal party apart, which is not a good thing
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: for the Liberals when you've got a federal election coming
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: up just around the corner.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: No, it's it's disgraceful.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: And this will definitely play into that, Joe, because victorians
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: are watching this play out. If this is this is
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: a man who just should eat humble pie.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: And yet I was astounded to find.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Out he's got that much support in the party room.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: How many more people? What do they genuinely believe that
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: she does have neo Nazi sympathies?
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Why else would you say no, even.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Now we are standing by that she shouldn't be allowed
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: back in, even that we know the premise on which
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: she was kicked out is entirely false.
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: Well, it's politics, so the facts have absolutely nothing to
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: do with it. It is all about positioning. It is all
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: about Perseudo's judgment. And again, every single step of the way,
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: he was given two choices and you know two roads,
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: one paved with gold with a beautiful rainbow at the
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: end of it, and another one through a dark and
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: spooky forest. And every single time he chose Plan B,
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: he gets it wrong, and got it wrong every single time.
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: He didn't need to even if he wanted to express
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: his admonition or whatever of more redeeming. He could have
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: made it known that he'd said that, you know that
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: he didn't share her views, or distanced himself from or
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: distance the actual party from her position, but let it
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: come into the front. He could have done that. The
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: thing is that in Victoria, obviously it is much more
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: is much more of a left wing state. John Pursudo
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: is from the moderate left faction of the Liberal Party.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: More redeeming is from another. The moderates have the numbers
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: in the Victorian Liberal Party room. And so again he
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: could have easily taken a far less severe action than
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: actually kicking her out of the party. He overreacted. He
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: seemed to react emotionally. I don't know if you thought
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: he was getting all these trans votes off the Labor
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: Party that would otherwise have gone.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: To Indeed, what does he think he's getting out of it?
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: It's very difficult to say. I think I think it
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: was just terrified of the Liberal Party being seen in
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: the era of Dan Andrews, of the Liberal Party being
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: seen as you know, reactionary or I don't.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Know, seen now.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: And then then he goes to so then then more
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: Deminic takes legal action against him. So then he then
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: he basically defames her and says things that are not
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: not able to be verified and not true. And of
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: course again so he's he's sloppy with what he says.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: His testimony to the trial was criticized by the drug judge.
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: But he's actually offered a chance to get out of
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: the court case that is facing him. I think she
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: offered to settle for something like eighty thousand bucks or
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: ninety thousand bucks, I forget what it was. He knocks
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: that back. He then goes to trial, goes to the court,
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: goes to the case Losers is up it for three
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: hundred thousand plus all the legal costs, God knows what
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: they are. And then again still doesn't get it. And
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: so we still still won't say sorry, still want to
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: know you could have said, right, okay, well that's it.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: The law has made it clear. The just is, may
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: I respect the justice system more as welcome back to
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: the party. He doesn't do that. Instead, he goes around
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: and saying, oh, no, this isn't going to affect me
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: because I'm a fighter. I'm a fighter, which reminds me
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: of Margaret Thatcher's great quote, which is, if you.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Have to go around say their names in the same if.
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: You have to go around that is, you have to
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: go around telling people how strong you are, you're not
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: very sure correct. In other words, if you have to
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: tell people you're a fighter, you don't tell people you're
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: a fighter exactly. You just fight and you decam. So
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: he's stuffed up there and then right up until this vote, right,
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: so it's fourteen all. Now, this is actually not this
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: is actually a massive blow to his leadership because his
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: majority in the party room is supposed to be a
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: hell of a lot more than fourteen, and so this
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: means that whole bunch of his supporters are turning away
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: from him and going towards Maredeeming. Of course, by now
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: is just a trojan horse for anyone but Persudo for
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: screwing the leader. He's then got the fourteens vote, tied
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: his one chance to save his leadership is to use
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: his casting vote for a magnanimous gesture to say yes
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: on my own volition, with my own vote, my own
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: personal vote. I'm going to welcome Maradeeming back in the
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: Liberal Party, and this will create peace in our time
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: and we can now unite and focus on the one
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: threat that should matter to us all. And what does
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: he do? He votes against it? What does he think
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: he is going on? Fifteen fourteen? He thinks that's going
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: to be the end of the matter, votes against it,
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: even when clearly all the momentum is on her side.
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: You know, he shuts the tiny little shutters to the
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: tsunami that's coming towards him and thinks, I'll just go
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: back and watch it, Telly.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Now that's that.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: And so again, every single step of the way, he
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: has made the absolute wrong decision, not based on any facts,
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: not even based on any morality, but based on his
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: own best interests. So his judgment is so poor he
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: is actually killing himself, killing his own leadership, as in
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: the part of his stubborn.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Would want such a man who has displayed such director
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: to be premiere of Victoria.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Goodness me, if there was any hope it.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Is gone, but rumor has it both the left and
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: the right of the Labor Party and Victoria are working
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: on a new leadership team.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Strength to their arm. Did I say liberal, you.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Said Labor Party and the Labor Party.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: I'm also working on a new leadership team.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: But yes, they.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Areship team in Victoria. Let's be honest, easy mistake to
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: make staying in Victoria.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: A kindergarten has sent an email to parents saying we're
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: not having Mother's Day and Father's Day anymore and a
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: bid to be more inclusive. We're just going to have
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: one day and call it Family Day, because you know
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: it's really inclusive when you're excluding ninety seven percent of
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: the population. The email read, Thus, next year, we'll be
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: holding Family Day to honor all caregivers, all significant figures
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: in your children's lives. Children will be encouraged to express
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: gratitude and recognize those who play a supportive role in
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: their lives. We won't be holding titled celebrations like Mother's
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Day or Father's Day, but we will have a fabulous
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: family Day celebration. I am so sick of this scaddy,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: the erasure of mothers, fathers, anything gender specific. We saw
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: this in the bill that Parliament recently passed regarding anyone
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: under sixteen can't access social media.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Not one mention of parents in that entire bill.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: We also know alban ezy ones universal daycare, give us
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: your kids and get back to work asap, ladies. I
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: really don't like what this government is doing. And the
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: early childhood Management Services in Victoria is.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Partly funded by the government. No surprises there.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: In terms of this erasure across the board of mothers
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: and fathers.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: It makes no sense as well.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: So what the rest of Australia, the rest of the
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: world get to celebrate Mother's Day, Father's Day except these
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: kindergartens the then allowed to use the words mothers and fathers.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: It's actually disrespectful, you know, being a mother, being a father.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: Be probably one of them yet to become a mother,
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: but it would be one of the most It's the
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: most important job really in the world.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: People. I have so much pride to raise children.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: To have that taken away from you no longer allowed
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: to be even not allowed to mention the words mothers
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: and fathers.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: What's next? They even going to get rid of Family Day.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: It just seems like it's this slippery slope, and of
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: course it's coming from Melbourne. I feel like nearly every
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: one of these stories are we debate these issues.
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: It's cultural Marxism, the home of cultural markets.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: It absolutely is.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: But it's crazy. I mean to be honest, I think
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: the Mother's Day and Father's Day are a bit of
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: a wank. And you know, it's just an excuse to
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: do something.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Now, you'll change your minds when your kids rolled, you
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: can afford your presence.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: My dad loves.
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: There, you go. It's just a waiting day. But again,
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: just the idea that someone would see this as something
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: that needs to be done just strikes me as someone
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: who just does not have enough real problems, Like the idea,
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: how can I make the world a better place? I
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: know I'll get rid of Mother's Day.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Deliberately enforcing ideology on three and.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Four year olds.
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: It is so ridiculous. And so there's there's now going
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: to be instead of Mother's Day and Father's Day, there's
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: going to be two family days. So hey, kids, it's
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: family Day the first and then.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: They're just handing the one, just having the ones, so
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: they're harving the celebration.
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: And then so everyone else. So the kids are going
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: to go to their thing. It's going to be Mother's
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: Day everywhere else but at the at Thedergartens, but at
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: Eltham North, at s Heana Preschool, everyone's just going to go.
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: It's just nothing and what the kids want to get
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: your family.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: What's also what's really galling is that over half of
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: the kindergartens that fall into the ECMS have already implemented this.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: So this email by Saint Helen's has brought it to
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: everyone's attention Saint Helen.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Or I should say, has brought it to everyone's attention.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: But ecms have come out and said, oh no, over
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: over fifty percent of our kindergartens, our preschools have done
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: this already.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: That's even worse. What do you mean that this.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Is just something that you've rolled out whole sale on
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: little minds. Absolutely no talk about it to the parent,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: who I'm sure hated. In fact, there have been plenty
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: taken into their socials to say, how dare you raise us?
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: I am my child's mother, I am my child's father.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Who the heck do you think you are taking our
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: day off us?
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: No?
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Also the grandmothers and the grandfathers that want to get
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: around this as well.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: What they're not allowed to be part of it?
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: Well, interestingly, Saint Helena's, if I'm not mistaken, Saint Helena
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: was the mother of Constantine the Great, the first Christian
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: Roman emperor, so she was.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Very much f Elena would be robbing.
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: She is the one who went to Jerusalem and mapped
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: out the Via dollar Rosa. I think this is which
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: is meant to be the path that Jesus took with
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: the cross, which actually has no bearing on any historical
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: evidence whatsoever. It wasn't actually the right path, but she
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: just sort of walked around and said, oh, that looks nice.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: I don't bet it went there.
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: And she's incredibly important to the Catholic Church as a mother,
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: but she doesn't get any Mother's Day.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: It is just absolutely appalling.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: This is where we are now in the name of inclusivity.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: No mother's, no father's, the end of story, according to
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: the ECMS in Victoria, disgusting. But to the United States now,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: where we told you last night about this ginormous omnibus bill,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: the Dems are trying to get through the House. It's
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: just a month to the day now before the Trump
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: administration takes over in the White House and they're very nervous.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: So they put together this fifteen hundred page omnibus bill
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: which had everything in it from funding for twelve biolabs,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: refunding of the government's censor censorship agency, the GEC.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: It stops the.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Trump's doj from investigating Congress. It gave the representatives a
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: forty percent pay rise, and I'm just getting started.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: This thing was huge, but it was going to go through.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Until Elon mask tweeted on X his Scott Jennings telling
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: us about what ensued after Elon Musk hit send.
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he's very influential. I actually talked to a member
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: of Congress today about this whole situation, and he said
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: that when Musk sent out his tweet, the first tweet
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: about this whole deal, like.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: He's never seen so much pork in his license.
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: Instantly, instantly, the phone started ringing in the congressional office
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: and people from the district started calling. And so that's
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: real power that, you know, the power to communicate and
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: then have it instantly translate into in that case, grassroots action.
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: So you can see why members of Congress are you know,
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: running around freaking out a little bit about about what's happening.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Elon mask has two hundred and seven million followers on
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: x so plenty of Americans were alerted to what the
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Democrats were up to with this gigantic nonsense bill.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: So this meant that it fell.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Over All the MPs were hearing from people saying, if
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: you pass this, we will get rid of you. So
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, got busy very quickly.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: He's a Trumper. He was also working with JD Vance,
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: now Vice President elect.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: And check out this picture that.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Elon Namusk posted illustrating the size of the original bill
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: and what they had managed to do to.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: It within a matter of.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Hours, that how much they had reduced it by and
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: yet did that pass. No, there were thirty eight Republicans
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: that turned on their own party. All the Gems opposed
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: it save for two, but that was predictable.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Here's JD.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Vance talking to the press just minutes after the new
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: and improved bill also failed.
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: The Democrats just voted to shut down the government even
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: though we had a clean cr because they didn't want
• 18:11
  Speaker 8: to give the president negotiating leverage during his first term
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: or during the first year of his new term and
• 18:17
  Speaker 8: number two, because they would rather shut down the government
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: and fight for global censorship. They've asked for a shutdown,
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: and I think that's exactly what they're doing.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: They've managed to even turn this down, even though it
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: was largely all the things that they had wanted to
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: implement in the past. They simply did this to spite
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: the Republicans. And now they are absolutely losing it, saying
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: we are justified in doing this.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Read on a bill.
• 18:56
  Speaker 9: They signed it, and you know what, they got scared
• 19:03
  Speaker 9: because President Musk told them, rather than Musk said, don't
• 19:11
  Speaker 9: do it. Don't do it, shut the government down. Imagine
• 19:18
  Speaker 9: what does he know?
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: He knows a heck of a lot, lady.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: And now all the Americans that you were trying to
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: pull this bill on know as well. But when I
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: say they're losing it, I mean they are really losing it.
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: Everybody agreed, and then it was blown up by Elon Musk,
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: who apparently has become the fourth branch of government. And
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: that's just an intolerable way of proceeding under representative democracy.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: And the hysterics continue.
• 19:48
  Speaker 10: The Musk Johnson proposal is not serious, it's laughable, extreme maga.
• 19:57
  Speaker 10: Republicans are driving us to a government the shutdown.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Now, it may be disappointing that the bill didn't get up, Gabby,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: but one thing I noted about this new and improved bill,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: While it was massively reduced in terms of spending, it
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: was essentially exactly the same.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I'm a little bit confused on that. Oh.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: I think they're all upset that they didn't get their
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: pay rise, I should say, because that was one of
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: the things that got cut out. But isn't it amazing
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: just to see fifteen hundred pages just get reduced to
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: just over one hundred and all the things that they
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: got that they got rid of, Kamala's electric bus program,
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: those twelve bio labs that you mentioned yesterday, the pay rises,
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: and now they're having a hissy fit. And I love
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: how they are hysterical about Elon Musk. They're so threatened
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: by him because what is the smartest guy possibly in
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: the world, and because.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: They alerted people to what they were trying to do.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: Incredible politicians are getting caught in the acts right now
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: because Elon Musk is just shining a spotlight onto what
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: they were actually doing. And it was amazing to see
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: how quickly this all played out from him posting that
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: on X and how quickly people were picking up the
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: phone and calling their representatives, and now this is what's
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: playing out. But you know, of course the Democrats had
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: to reject it, so they're essentially just voting against disaster
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: relief aid for farmers, and you know, because they didn't
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: have the pay rise in there, and they're mad and
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: they wanted someone to blame, and so instead of blaming themselves,
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: it's what Elon Musk's fault.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: At least this way, Joe, it's the Dems that have
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: shut down the government, not the Republican.
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: So I remember the good old days, but it was
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: the Dems who were trying to keep the government open
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: and the Republicans trying to shut it down.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Forty eight hours ago.
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: Oh no, Barack Oba was president.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: God love it then as well.
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: But the amazing thing is it's interesting that people are saying, well,
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: once Elon Musk tweeted, oh well, there was just nothing
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: we could do then, as though the matter was then
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: completely out of their hands. They're all in favor of
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: this bill. And I was about to die on a
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: ditch for it, and stand on a hill with my
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: American flag fluttering in the breeze. But then we started
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: getting phone calls, and so we had to just abandon
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: it completely. It's like, if there was actually any merit
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: in it, those phone calls as annoying as they may
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: have been, and the emails as annoying as they may
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: have been, and there are deliberate campaigns too, just bombard
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: MP's officers with emails and to basically just for the people. No,
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: that's right, that's fine, and they can be annoying. But
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: the idea that you then that suddenly that thing that
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: you were all in favor of is now suddenly a
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: terrible thing that you don't support anymore. Where's that written down?
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: If the bill was any good in the first place,
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: then then people said, oh no, that's not true. No
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: it's actually fine, you know rites, Oh no, there's no
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: way that's in there. And the way you go, it's
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: the faith that clearly this was such a turgid piece
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: of the proverbial that as soon as the slightest sort
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: of amount of light was shown on it, it just
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: it was literally just a giant, gleaming turd that no
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: one was able to defend and people just literally ran
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: away from it within minutes.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: And it's very really exposed them because, as you said, Gabby,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: everyone knows the bits that were taken out, So now
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: you know that is what you were really supporting.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: They're upset that Americans now know the truth of what
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: was actually involved in what's actually involved in that spending bill.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, indeed, but you can't beat the view for hysterics
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: here they are talking about the fact.
• 23:22
  Speaker 11: That they believe that Musk and JD Vance are getting
• 23:27
  Speaker 11: together planning to bump Trump off and this is just
• 23:31
  Speaker 11: the beginning of their plans.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: To take over. I think Eli must believes he is president.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: I do. I've called him vice president. I called him
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: president because I don't know what JD is doing.
• 23:46
  Speaker 11: I hardly I don't.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: I don't remember last time we even talked about JD.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Great, he's planning the presidency when he's going to get
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: rid of Trump.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: So you think it's Musk, It must Advance possible.
• 23:59
  Speaker 9: Hey, you know stair away from the stairways, we put.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: The laying out to tripping wall down a stairs. Watch out.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Now we've got Musk derangement syndrome. But last gone goes
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: to the Babylon b the satirical newspaper in the US.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: He's taken a big.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Stab at the Dems, who are all upset over mass tweeting.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Dems explain they don't want billionaires controlling our media unless.
• 24:31
  Speaker 12: It's Bezos, Zuckerberg, Gates, Bloomberg, Buffett or Soros, because of
• 24:36
  Speaker 12: course all those guys are raging lefties staying in the States.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Now it's been revealed by some of.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: The biggest Biden administration insiders.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: We're talking about his aids, his donors.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: They've spilled the tee to the Wall Street Journal saying
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: that in fact Biden's lack of mental acuity. They've been
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: covering it up since day one. Now, this was something
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: that was blown wide open by James O'Keefe, who you remember.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: He is quite famous for these undercover videos where they
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: get someone of significance who usually thinks that they're on
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: a romantic date and plug them for info.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Here is Henry.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Appel, a National Security Council advisor inside the White House,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: spilling the tea regarding Biden's very lacking mental acuity throughout
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: his tenure as president to what he thought was a
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: hot date.
• 25:38
  Speaker 8: Well, here's sueing.
• 25:40
  Speaker 13: Joe.
• 25:40
  Speaker 14: Biden is like, she's like really like progressed. I can't
• 25:55
  Speaker 14: believe it wasn't a bigger scandal player.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: He went tells story.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: He went on to tell stories of him himself, noticing
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Biden's obvious decline throughout.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: The years he's been president.
• 26:11
  Speaker 14: My boss was on an international show with him, like
• 26:15
  Speaker 14: you're up or something. The phone ring in office, and
• 26:19
  Speaker 14: I was like, welvi, President Henry.
• 26:23
  Speaker 15: He was like, he's like he's safe there.
• 26:24
  Speaker 14: He's like, oh, traveling with you.
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: He's on the same crypt you are.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: And this was clearly an ongoing problem.
• 26:36
  Speaker 14: How weeks ago, I was like the last on an
• 26:39
  Speaker 14: office call from my boss yet, and so I picked
• 26:44
  Speaker 14: the phone and save this president Like Henry on phone,
• 26:49
  Speaker 14: he's up to the day, but I try to again him.
• 26:51
  Speaker 7: I was in line for you.
• 26:54
  Speaker 14: He like asked us a question and I was like,
• 26:55
  Speaker 14: I don't know, Like, let me get free. I sent
• 26:57
  Speaker 14: you did that's enough.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: Police secret service detail.
• 27:01
  Speaker 14: I'll like, like ten seconds later again it's Henry.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: The same, offers Wall Street Journal that, in fact, as
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: early as spring twenty twenty one, they were already readjusting
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: his schedule very regularly to account for his quote good
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: days and bad days end quote Gabby. It doesn't come
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: as a surprise to anyone who was paying any attention
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: over the last few years that this was always the case.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, and it's one of the biggest political scandals that
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: you've got the president of the United States that hasn't
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: been mentally well for three years and there's just been
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: this protection racket around him, and the media has been
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: a big protection racket. They've been complicted in it, apart
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: from outlets like Sky News that have been calling it out.
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: So you've been watching us, you would have seen the
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: line in real time, which has been quite scary. But
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: some of the details, look, it's not fresh news. A hey,
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: he's got cognitive decline, but some of the details in
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: this is absolutely insane. That they do have to accommodate
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: for his good days his bad days. Some days you'd
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: have to finish at four pm. He just gets too tired.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: Well we've seen that recently when he's fallen asleep on
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: the world stage. But he's just taken part in an
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: interview where he's asked about his presidency, and in true
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: Joe Biden's style, he says he has no regrets.
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: Any other regrets that you have anything you wish you
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: would have done differently, Well.
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: I guess if I thought a lot about it is
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: something I've done specifically, but not generically.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: But we have been watching this in real time for years,
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: and it has been so embarrassing. Kamala Harris has been
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: complicit in this. I'd like to know who else was
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: around Joe Biden and why they were essentially lying to
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: the American people this whole time. Joe Biden, what have
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: you been doing this entire time? Lying to the people?
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: But this is back Joe Biden in twenty twenty. Take
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: a look.
• 29:05
  Speaker 14: We alle these shoots to be self evident.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: Oh many women creative by go you know the you
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: know the thing, you know the thing. Here he is
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: in twenty twenty one.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: If it holds near and dear to you that you.
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: Like to be able to.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: Anyway, and here he is in twenty twenty two.
• 29:32
  Speaker 16: Erica is a nation that can be defined in a
• 29:34
  Speaker 16: single word.
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: I was gonn put him.
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: The evidence has been there from the start. It's been
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: so embarrassing for America. Who on earth was supporting him
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: right up until June?
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: You know, well, That's the thing. I can I can
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: actually believe it or not understand how you would need
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: to get Biden as a candidate, because you've stuffed up
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: your entire preselection process and you have you've just got
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: these crazy AOC green New Deal types on the left
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: who are unelectable, and then you've got the old sort
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: of dinosaur establishment and you haven't got anyone in the middle.
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: So they've stuck with Joe Biden as the candidate because
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: he's the only one that can beat Trump. Then it's
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: day one in the White House and you realize, holy crap,
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: this guy really does have dementia. What do we do?
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: I can actually understand thinking, all right, great, we're just
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: going to have to manage this. What is absolutely unforgivable
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: is that he was allowed to run again, that he
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: was allowed to say that he was going to go
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: for the presidency again. Immediately say absolutely no way. That
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: is the absolutely unforgivable thing that Democrat strategists or strategist
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: is just far too strong a word for whoever's in
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: charge there did and again it's just so unforgivable. And
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: as the and the fact that they stuffed it up
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: so much lived in denial thought they could fake it,
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: pull the ball over the American people's eyes. Then they're
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: stuck with Karmela who is the only candidate, probably as
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: bad as Joe Biden, and so they just dealt themselves.
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: I mean, how you deal yourself out of government. You've
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: got everything, You've got all the cards in your hands, aces, aces, aces.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Fail out in every front, and you manage to.
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: Just throw it all away. It is disgraceful. And anyone
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: who knows or cares anything about politics should just be
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: running this mob out of.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Town, throw it all the way.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: While spending one point five billion dollars trying to win.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: The woman, of course, was Kamala Harris, and apparently we
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: haven't seen the last of her. It sounds like a threat,
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: but that's what the Dems are telling us. Try this
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: on for size if you needed further proof that politics
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: is not a meritocracy. She's set to receive a whopping
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: twenty million dollars for a tell all book. They want
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: to know what are the skeletons in the White House,
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: in the Biden White House. Give us all the juice, lady,
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: she's the insider, she would know get this. According to
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: a Kamala insider. Virtually the moment Kamala lost to Trump,
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: the office began pouring in from the publishing world for
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: her to to do the definitive book on what really
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: went on between Joe and Kamala, what went right and
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: what went wrong inside.
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: The Oval Office Wall right chapter would pretty.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: Sure and all the ups and downs of her campaign.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: They are throwing around advanced numbers in the twenty million range,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: maybe more.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: With other publishing rights.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Other insiders from publishing houses are saying.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Look, it might even be more than that. There could
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: be a movie deal. There could be a.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Netflix deal, like the Obamas signed magazines.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: There's going to be a lot of money in this
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: for Herbert Gabby.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: She's going to have to hire a ghostwriter because if
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: that woman talks rights like.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: She talks, it would just be uster gimberish.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: The whole book will be I grew up a middle
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: class kid. Yeah, that will be it.
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: No, she's got a lot of explaining to do. So
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: she goes ahead and gets this book deal, and then
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: we get a book from her.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: I'll absolutely read it, and I'd like to.
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: Know a little bit more what she couldn't explain throughout
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: the election campaign. What would she do on her first
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: day in the job. She couldn't answer that one, apart
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: from some opportunity economy whatever that was supposed to mean.
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: But there are a few questions that have gone unanswered.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: Why did she lie about Joe Biden's cognitive decline? What
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: did she actually see? She's obviously never going to answer
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: any of this. No, Why did she choose Tim Waltz
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: to be her running role, the guy that's known for
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: putting tampons in men's bathrooms? Why did she choose him?
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: Did she regret that? Did she regret not going on
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: Joe Rogan? Does she regret spending one point five billion
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: dollars and losing a lot of questions? How awkward is
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: it between her and Joe Biden? Now it's quite clear
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: that Joe Biden absolutely hates.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: That would all make a great book, Which is how
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: you know none of that would be in the book, Joe.
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: No, this is this is how I can almost I
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: can almost tell you in advance. It will be that
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: Joe Biden was completely and utterly incapacitated, and I was
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: the one who was secretly running things and doing all
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: the good things. It was his hero it's his fault
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: for doing all the bad things. Then she will blame
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: him for hanging around too long and not giving her
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: enough time to establish herself with the American people. And
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: that's why she lost the election, not just because she's
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: a nauseating fool. And and she will not be able
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: to explain how if she actually had to face a primary,
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: she was going to win that primary, given that the
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: previous primary she faced against Joe Biden, she did not
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: pick up a single vote. That will be conveniently glossed over.
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: I was the one who actually did all the all
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: the good stuff, and Joe Biden robbed me of my
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: chance to become president because he refused to let go being.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: The borders are. She's got to take ownership.
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: For that way, He'll say, there was nothing I could do.
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: Joe Biden threw me in, knowing that I had to
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: take all the bad publicity for it, and it was
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: all his fault. But good stuff that you like, whatever
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: that is, I did that.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: Honestly, what does anyone try to be great at whatever
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: they're doing?
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Twenty million dollars.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: For a book deal from a woman who would fail
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: finger plainting, who indeed failed to flip a single county.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: She's the first presidential candidate to do that since nineteen
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: thirty two. And if you're wondering, Trump flipped fifty four.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: Back home.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Now to Sydney, where, my goodness, are we going to
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: get our New Year's Eve fireworks? This is a massive,
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: multimillion dollar event that hundreds of thousands of people attend
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: each year.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: But guess what. Guess who's ruining it for us? You
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: guessed it the fireworks.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: And safety concerns over ongoing rail industrial action.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Thanks for nothing, Unions.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Here's Police Commissioner Karen Webb today explaining, Look, if these
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: guys don't budge, I've got no choice but to advise
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: the government to cancel.
• 36:02
  Speaker 15: I haven't ruled out that I will recommend to government
• 36:05
  Speaker 15: that we cancel the fireworks. Each year, we police us
• 36:10
  Speaker 15: Eve on the basis that two hundred and fifty thousand
• 36:12
  Speaker 15: people can come into the city and then safely leave
• 36:15
  Speaker 15: the city. Leaving the city is based on access to transport,
• 36:21
  Speaker 15: including trains, and if trains aren't available and people can't
• 36:24
  Speaker 15: leave the city, I have very large concerns of the
• 36:29
  Speaker 15: risk that will create to the public.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Firm but fair Joe can you all make Mens save
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: our fireworks?
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: He's certainly doing his darndas and I dare say the
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: Police Commissioner would have been speaking at the behest of
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: the government just to communicate to the union how seriously,
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: how serious they're action is. So what has happened? Mens
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: took the union to court to try to get an
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: injunction to stop them taking strike action. The court found
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: against the government and for the unit said no, you
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: can go on strike and that's the letter of the law.
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: And the union then appeared to kind of try to
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: away after the backlash became apparent that they were going
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: to rule I mean short of ruining Christmas, sort of
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: canceling Christmas the New Year's e fireworks. I mean, this
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: is something that has shown all around the world. Hundreds
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: of thousands of Sydney Siders love it. Millions of people
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: watch it right across the carp Now, I conn of
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: that's right. And these guys, the RTPO seems to be
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: going out of its way to make it. And again
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: I like the RTBU, it's great unit, but they're making
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: themselves the most hated people in Australia by this and
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: the Karen Webb, the police Commissioner has now clearly sought right.
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: You want to play hardball, I'll play hardball. You do
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: this and we will cancel New Year's Eve and it
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: will be on you. It will be your fault. And
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: she's right because the vast majority of alcohol fueled acts
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: of violence that hurt people, kill people, have people end
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: up in hospital. They occur at taxi ranks, they occur
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: at transport hubs, they occur at kebab shops when people
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: are struggling to get home, when they're waiting, when they're frustrated,
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: when they're bought. So you put two hundred and fifty
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: thousand people in the city no trains, no way to
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: get home, or not enough. That is an absolute cocktail
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: for an a bomb.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: We've got to go to a break.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: But when we come back, Labour's hysterical new ad warning
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: that nuclear power causes cancer, heart attacks in strokes, well
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: we all know Labor is running scared from nuclear power
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: because they know it bests their plans for their green
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: dream ten to one. They've put up cartoons of three
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: eyed fish and kept us laughing for quite a while.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: But this latest.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Initiative takes the cake ladies and gentlemen, nuclear power causes strokes,
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: heart attacks and cancer.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Would't you believe it is their new ad?
• 38:53
  Speaker 17: There are definite increases in cancer, strokes and heart attacks
• 38:58
  Speaker 17: with nuclear power. Renewable energy, we have much safer alternatives,
• 39:03
  Speaker 17: and for a health perspective, nuclear makes no sense. There
• 39:06
  Speaker 17: are significantly increased rates of cancer, heart attacks, and strokes
• 39:11
  Speaker 17: amongst the workforce in the nuclear industries.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Well, Gabby, I'm sure people in France are really concerned
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: to hear about this, given they get seventy percent of
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: their electricity from nuclear power.
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's probably news to them, isn't it. Noah, they
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: must be riddle.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: With health, these diseases. They had no idea.
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: But this woman, doctor Margaret Beavis I think it is,
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: is a former Green's candidate. She's been an anti nuclear
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: activist for some time, labor rolling this scare campaign out
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: just you know, in the months.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: Before we get this federal election. It's so irresponsible.
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: Other doctors have come out today saying how irresponsible this is,
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: encountering many of her arguments there and then Olbos had
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: to defend questions today about what does this mean for
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: workers working on orchids.
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: This is such an incredibly stupid own goal when the
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: Prime Minister needs absolutely everything to be going right for
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: him to be able to win the election in just
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: a few months time for alp Head offers, which is
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: dominated by the left, and that tells you all you
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: need to know to run out this sort of absolute
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: Horseshit is the stupidest thing you could possibly get. It's
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: almost an act of sabotage. I think they're probably too
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: stupid to realize that the chances it is so stupid
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: that the momentum is or at least was with Labor
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: on this issue. Peter Dutton's costings were being absolutely rubbished
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: by experts. There was no detail on the impact it
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: would have on power bills, which a lot of people
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: said would actually probably go up even higher than they
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: already are. They were on you know, whatever the rights
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: or wrongs of any of that. You know, they were
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: having a field day with this. Chris Bowen is running
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: rings around Peter Dutton and now they have completely utterly
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: switched it round to the point where when Bowen and
• 40:59
  Speaker 5: Anthony Albaneese even asked about this video, which is authorized
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: by the Labor Party National secretary, they won't even back
• 41:09
  Speaker 5: its contents, They came back its contents, they say, oh, well,
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: you know it's part of the debate. As part of
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: the debate. Politicians aren't there to promote debate. Politicians are
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: there to take a position and prosecute that position, and
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: they've been doing it pretty well over the last week
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: or so and now this is just completely lined up,
• 41:29
  Speaker 5: completely undermined it. It is the most undergraduate, idiotic thing.
• 41:33
  Speaker 5: And again, did you think maybe that when you're saying
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: people who work with nuclear are going to get cancer
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: and strokes and die, that you're talking about Australian service
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: men and women who are going to be working on
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: the nuclear powered submarines that the Australian government under Anthey
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: Albanezi has signed up to buy as part of the
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: Orcus arrangement. You have just to defense personnel that you're
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: risking their lives.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: You are fools.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: Can't say it any better than that here from a
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: hearty panel. Moving on to Environment Minister Tanya Pliposex.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: She's also not.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: Doing Albanzy government any favors. She tweeted today how proud
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: she was that her government had not signed on to
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: any new call FID power plans.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Here's the offending tweets. First, Firstly, she writes, these guys.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: Approved eight new coal mines and were laughing about climate change. Secondly,
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: she writes, let's fast forward ten years in twenty twenty four,
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: labor has approved zero new coal mines. What a difference
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: a decade makes. And then, of course she was absolutely
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: savaged in the comments because the very day that she
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: thought it was a good idea to toot her own
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: horn about this was the very day she extended the
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: life of four coal fired power plan.
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: Look, this goes back to what we were saying earlier
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: in the program with the spending bill in the US,
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: the power of X. She thinks it's a great idea
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: to post something on X on Twitter, and she gets
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: community noted quite quickly. There's now correction saying, no, she
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: actually extended these cold fire Yeah, she's extending projects. So
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: she didn't want to tweet out what she was doing
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: this afternoon, did she? Whatever day it was, she didn't
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: want to tweet out, you know, I'm actually extending.
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: The life of these plants.
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: She's trying to spin this message, she's trying to win
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: over votes, and it's.
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: Coming across a very hypocritical.
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: It's great that Tanya Plise is approving minds instead of
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: blocking them, right, that was fantastic.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, out of necessity, will be in the dark if
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: she doesn't. But seriously, if these politicians were just a
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: little bit transparent otherwise known as honesty, then maybe you
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: would win back some public trust. But every time you
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: get caught out trying to pull the wall over people's eyes,
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: you get caught out, either by the media or just
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: average Joe blogs who knows what you're up to and
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: takes to your own social media pages to savage you,
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: and rightly so.
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: And they can't get away with it in twenty twenty four.
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: And that's the lesson they're they're learning the hard way.
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: They think they can spin a message now quite quickly,
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: people will catch on and fact check you in real time.
• 44:37
  Speaker 14: I know.
• 44:37
  Speaker 5: There is this thing called the Internet which makes it
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: quite hard to pretend that you're doing completely opposite things
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: to two completely different audiences. It does tend to sort
• 44:45
  Speaker 5: of catch up with you. Also, I've heard.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: It used to be so much easier for you, and
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: now it just doesn't work anymore. A single tweet from
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: Elon Musk and your massive omnibus bill is gone. Similar
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: is happening here in Australia.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: I like it staying here in Australia.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: National's MP Keith Pitt, who you will be very familiar
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: with as he has graced our screens for many years.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: He's one of the good ones in Federal Parliament. He's
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: bidding farewell to parliament. Here he is saying goodbye.
• 45:18
  Speaker 16: Political parties that have no purpose will they rapidly disappear.
• 45:23
  Speaker 16: And it's tough being a member of the Nationals for
• 45:27
  Speaker 16: regional seat or are always the minority numbers in a
• 45:31
  Speaker 16: coalition of the Liberal Party always have significant more numbers
• 45:34
  Speaker 16: than the Thats And that's why you've got to have
• 45:36
  Speaker 16: bold policies. You've got to take bold positions and you
• 45:40
  Speaker 16: have to fight for what matters.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: Of course, he didn't bow out without savaging David Little
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: Proud for supporting the government's net zero plans. So he's
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: not hung up his hat and walked away with the.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: Announcement that he's leaving.
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: I have no doubt he'll be pulling punches till his
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: last day and office.
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: In interesting to hear is pretty critical of David Little
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: Proud and then in his statements saying that political parties
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: without purpose will soon disappear.
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: So you could be right there.
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: But it's back with net zero and the nuclear debate
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: as well, you know, with the problem I should say
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: with this the scare campaign that we saw from labor
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: just tying that in all together is that they want
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: net zero, but they don't want to implement net zero technology.
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: So you've got anyway people like keep Keith Pitt speaking
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: out against net zero and making this his big statement today.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: He's going to be such a loss for common sense.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: I really like a solid voice for a long time.
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and it is very difficult. Again, I think it
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: tells you everything you need to know about the climate
• 46:39
  Speaker 5: debate that where you have people like the nets, it's
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: almost you know, NAT's labor that basically have the seats
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: that are most affected by the transition. And so you know,
• 46:47
  Speaker 5: the big regional areas that have the coal mines are
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: often that seats or the town centers that rely on
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: coal mines and coal miners and workers are often held
• 46:56
  Speaker 5: by labor. And again these are the guys who pay
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: the price for the aspirations of you know, the inner
• 47:03
  Speaker 5: city greenies who think it would be all green all
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: the time, won't have anything in their backyard. So that
• 47:09
  Speaker 5: is the benchmark. I suppose Keith Pitt is the benchmark
• 47:11
  Speaker 5: for Okay, how do you actually sell this to this man?
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: How do you tell this man who represents people who
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: could lose their jobs, how do you make it worthwhile
• 47:20
  Speaker 5: to them? And that is the that is the path
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: of government needs to take one hundred percent.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: We've got to go to a break now.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: But when we come back, check out the Christmas display
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: in Abu Dhabi Airport. It puts every single Australian airport
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: to shame. So that time of the year where we're
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: all told you can't say Merry Christmas, you might offend minorities. Well,
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: check out this video that was loaded up duex by
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: fellow Sky host Rita Panahee pointing out the fact that
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: there they are in a Muslim country in Abu Derby,
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: full on celebrating Christmas in their airport. More Christmas spirit
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: than you'll find it any Australian airport.
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: Even the music they're playing in the background and everyone's
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: getting around it.
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: People are gathering around the christy and sad for.
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: Us that you have to go to Abu Dhabi Airport
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: to get a bit of Christmas atmosphere.
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: You're not going to find that. And what is it,
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: Derevin Council that was?
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: I know as an Irish Catholic, I also find Merry
• 48:31
  Speaker 5: Christmas offensive. We say happy Christmas because merry Christmas just
• 48:35
  Speaker 5: means you got drunk.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: Absolutely well, speaking of not offending anyone by saying Merry Christmas,
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: here's a comedian made of mind who's figured out.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: How to pull that off.
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: Hate to offend people.
• 48:46
  Speaker 13: So this whole last holiday season, I didn't let out
