- 0:02Speaker 1: Welcome to the water Plains.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Good evening.
- 0:07Speaker 3: I'm James Macpherson with Liz Storer and Joe Hildebrand coming up.
- 0:11Speaker 3: The Democrats are always talking about how we need to
- 0:13Speaker 3: reduce emissions, So why did Kamala Harris order her pilot
- 0:17Speaker 3: to circle above the airport for an extra fifteen minutes?
- 0:21Speaker 3: Climate hypocrisy coming up later. Plus we'll look at what's
- 0:24Speaker 3: making news tomorrow. Victorian schools abandoning competitive sport because they
- 0:29Speaker 3: say it's not good for children. And the front page
- 0:32Speaker 3: of Tomorrow's Australian demonstrates just how much the cost of
- 0:35Speaker 3: living is starting to bite. People are apparently eating a
- 0:38Speaker 3: lot less chicken. We'll talk about what that means a
- 0:41Speaker 3: little later as well, but first. The Church of England
- 0:45Speaker 3: is increasingly avoiding using the word church to describe itself,
- 0:50Speaker 3: preferring more modern terms such as community. A report published
- 0:54Speaker 3: in the Telegraph found that none of almost nine hundred
- 0:57Speaker 3: churches begun in England over the past decade had advertised
- 1:01Speaker 3: themselves as a church. Instead, they promoted themselves as a
- 1:05Speaker 3: community congregation, a place of worship, but not a church.
- 1:11Speaker 3: Research has concluded, after interviewing church leaders that their reluctance
- 1:15Speaker 3: to use the word church sprang from and I quote
- 1:18Speaker 3: a misplaced desire to be relevant and modern sounding. One
- 1:24Speaker 3: particular vicar, doctor Jarles Fraser from Saint Anne's in Q,
- 1:28Speaker 3: told The Telegraph the church has given up on church.
- 1:32Speaker 3: Not since Prince became Squiggle has there been such a
- 1:36Speaker 3: daft revision.
- 1:37Speaker 4: Now.
- 1:37Speaker 3: I've got to say he is one vicar whose sermons
- 1:40Speaker 3: I think I would enjoy.
- 1:41Speaker 2: But somebody needs.
- 1:42Speaker 3: To let the geniuses at the Church of England know
- 1:46Speaker 3: that when you walter it down your identity in order
- 1:48Speaker 3: to be more inclusive, you don't get more members, You
- 1:52Speaker 3: just lose your identity. What are they going to do next?
- 1:55Speaker 3: Change Christ to Chris in order to be more relatable
- 1:58Speaker 3: to the common man. And maybe the problem is not
- 2:02Speaker 3: branding with the Church of England. Maybe it's the people
- 2:05Speaker 3: leading it. They're doing less theology and a lot more sociology.
- 2:09Speaker 3: If you want the BBC, then you stay at home.
- 2:12Speaker 3: But if you want the church, you're supposed to go.
- 2:14Speaker 2: To the c of E.
- 2:16Speaker 3: I think, Liz, one of the problems here is that
- 2:19Speaker 3: some parts of the church have abandoned the Christian teaching
- 2:21Speaker 3: of faith, hope and love, in favor of the work diversity,
- 2:25Speaker 3: equity and inclusion. There's a prominent journalist in this country
- 2:29Speaker 3: who I was talking to recently just started going to
- 2:32Speaker 3: church and I said, how are you finding it? And
- 2:35Speaker 3: he said frustrating And I said, oh why and he said,
- 2:38Speaker 3: because it's like sitting and listening to someone read an
- 2:41Speaker 3: article from the Guardian. He said, I've gone to church
- 2:44Speaker 3: expecting to be offended.
- 2:45Speaker 2: Because this is what he reasoned.
- 2:46Speaker 3: If God is God and I'm not, then God will
- 2:49Speaker 3: probably have some opinions that conflict with mine, so I'm
- 2:52Speaker 3: expecting to hear them. And I go to church every
- 2:54Speaker 3: week and I'm not challenged. I'm not convicted. I don't
- 2:57Speaker 3: disagree with anything, and so I'm wondering what's the point.
- 3:00Speaker 2: I thought that was a very insightful comment.
- 3:03Speaker 4: Yet a real church brother. I don't know what you're attending,
- 3:07Speaker 4: but that ain't it.
- 3:09Speaker 5: My dad is a minister and he used to always say,
- 3:13Speaker 5: if you leave my church and you have not been challenged,
- 3:17Speaker 5: I have failed in my charge to you. I'm just
- 3:21Speaker 5: glad the Church of England has enough awareness to disqualify.
- 3:25Speaker 4: Themselves as a church. Thanks for your honesty.
- 3:28Speaker 5: You're not calling yourself a church anymore good one I
- 3:31Speaker 5: cannot stand. And it's not just the Church of England,
- 3:35Speaker 5: but these it's usually older blokes trying to be kip,
- 3:38Speaker 5: trying to be cool.
- 3:39Speaker 4: Oh let's call ourselves a community. Let's call ourselves a club.
- 3:43Speaker 5: You can call yourself whatever you want. The Gospel is
- 3:46Speaker 5: the best news in the world. It does not need
- 3:49Speaker 5: your lame trimmings. And in this world full of nothingness,
- 3:53Speaker 5: people are being told that nothing means anything. Your religion,
- 3:57Speaker 5: the nation from which you hail, from, your creed, your ethnicity,
- 4:00Speaker 5: you're very gender, it's all meaningless.
- 4:03Speaker 4: People want bold truth.
- 4:06Speaker 5: And they like the guy that that story breaks my heart,
- 4:10Speaker 5: they come to church, they come to the House of
- 4:13Speaker 5: God to be like, all right, what have you got
- 4:15Speaker 5: to offer? And you've got these limp wristed losers in
- 4:20Speaker 5: Pulpits just spouting platitudes.
- 4:23Speaker 4: That is not the gospel. That is not what Jesus
- 4:27Speaker 4: would be saying were he be.
- 4:28Speaker 5: Jesus's ministry is littered with offended people.
- 4:31Speaker 4: That's how we ended up on a cross.
- 4:33Speaker 5: So to past us these days who simply just stand
- 4:37Speaker 5: there every Sunday and give some mamby pamby sermon that's
- 4:41Speaker 5: usually taken way out of context. They have a degree
- 4:44Speaker 5: in biblical studies, so I'm a little bit passionate about that,
- 4:48Speaker 5: and I'm sitting there going this sermon is the most
- 4:51Speaker 5: hermeneutically unsound thing I've ever heard in my entire life.
- 4:55Speaker 4: But bless you for trying, if you even tried.
- 4:59Speaker 5: They are trying aim to make Christianity this weak, whimpy nonsense,
- 5:05Speaker 5: to make it palatable, and that is the exact opposite
- 5:10Speaker 5: of what Jesus taught. Who Jesus was and what he
- 5:13Speaker 5: would have in our pulpits every Sunday. That story encapsulates
- 5:18Speaker 5: exactly what I'm talking about. And in a world lost
- 5:21Speaker 5: and desperately in need of Christ, that.
- 5:25Speaker 4: That just encapsulates it perfectly. Went looking and was like,
- 5:28Speaker 4: what even is this?
- 5:30Speaker 3: The tragedy is when the UK needs the Church the most,
- 5:33Speaker 3: the church is trying to be something other than the church.
- 5:35Speaker 3: I'm not sure there's many mosques in the UK, Joe,
- 5:38Speaker 3: that are pretending to be something other than a mosque,
- 5:40Speaker 3: although mosques are increasingly taking over abandoned churches in the UK.
- 5:44Speaker 1: Well, this is the interesting thing, right, it is still
- 5:46Speaker 1: the Church of England that's right. If they're not the
- 5:49Speaker 1: word church, they're just the of England. Or are they
- 5:51Speaker 1: going to get all cool and it's just going to
- 5:52Speaker 1: be like England exclamation.
- 5:54Speaker 2: No no, no, no, it's going to be worse than that.
- 5:55Speaker 3: It's of England, right, But then they're going to realize no, no,
- 5:58Speaker 3: England is a racist country.
- 6:00Speaker 1: It's just going to be of Yeah. I think I
- 6:02Speaker 1: think there's a lot of Obviously I disagree with the
- 6:05Speaker 1: Church of England's right to even exist, So as far
- 6:07Speaker 1: as I'm concerned, this is a good step. And the
- 6:11Speaker 1: Eight should never have broken with Rome. It did it
- 6:13Speaker 1: for purely selfish and very distinctly Unchristian reasons, and he
- 6:17Speaker 1: should never been allowed to do so. But given that
- 6:21Speaker 1: that's happened, I think you have to kind of accept
- 6:23Speaker 1: at some point either it's religion or it's not. Either
- 6:26Speaker 1: it's Christianity or it's not. So again, you have to
- 6:29Speaker 1: be And I'm a Catholic obviously, although I have to
- 6:31Speaker 1: work on some I'm very bad Catholics. I now have
- 6:34Speaker 1: to work on Sunday. So I haven't been to mass
- 6:35Speaker 1: in ages, and we call it mass by the way
- 6:37Speaker 1: people call it church proddies you're going to hell anyway.
- 6:40Speaker 1: The point. The point is, I suppose the reason I
- 6:43Speaker 1: love it is because, like that the colleague you mentioned,
- 6:47Speaker 1: is that it's so steeped in history, it's so steeped
- 6:50Speaker 1: in tradition, and there I find it just so incredible
- 6:54Speaker 1: that there is a direct line to ideas that people
- 6:57Speaker 1: have been talking about and wrestling with for thousands of
- 7:01Speaker 1: years and more than two thousand years in the case
- 7:03Speaker 1: of Christianity, and then the Old Testament thousands of thousand
- 7:07Speaker 1: years or more more. And it is not fixed, is
- 7:11Speaker 1: not set in stone. There is you know, it has evolved,
- 7:15Speaker 1: it has always evolved. Ideas of what you do as
- 7:19Speaker 1: a Christian and what it means have evolved in terms
- 7:21Speaker 1: of ethnicity in nation states. That's got nothing to do
- 7:23Speaker 1: with Christianity. In fact, Paul went around preaching that it
- 7:27Speaker 1: was absolutely the antithesis of that. It didn't matter you know,
- 7:30Speaker 1: a man, woman, child, who were all one in Christ Jesus.
- 7:33Speaker 1: It didn't matter where you come from or who you were.
- 7:36Speaker 1: But of course there were disagreements in the Early Church
- 7:38Speaker 1: with that as well. Some people are saying, no, you
- 7:39Speaker 1: have to be a Jew to be an early Christian.
- 7:41Speaker 1: So this is and I having to be reading a
- 7:43Speaker 1: book about early Christianity even as we speak. But it's
- 7:45Speaker 1: amazing to see how these people are coming together and
- 7:48Speaker 1: trying to grapple with what Jesus was saying. Obviously, Matthew
- 7:52Speaker 1: in the Gospel of Matthew he says, we cannot throw
- 7:54Speaker 1: pearls before swine. So Jesus speaks in allegories, and he
- 7:57Speaker 1: speaks in parables so that people have to think about
- 8:00Speaker 1: it to try and get what he's saying. So there
- 8:01Speaker 1: are just what rabbis.
- 8:03Speaker 4: Did that is a very that was the way that
- 8:06Speaker 4: they taught. So it wasn't like, oh, he's.
- 8:08Speaker 5: Trying to be crypto, because Jesus speaking in the lanth.
- 8:13Speaker 1: And there are also things that a farmer of that
- 8:15Speaker 1: a farmer of that time or a peasant of that
- 8:17Speaker 1: time would have immediately understood exactly what he's talking about.
- 8:19Speaker 1: And we're going mustard seed, what's a mustard seed? So
- 8:23Speaker 1: but again, so it is evolvement, and that's part of
- 8:25Speaker 1: the good of it. But again that doesn't mean you
- 8:27Speaker 1: can just and it comes back to the Reformation, that
- 8:30Speaker 1: doesn't mean you can just say no, I've decided. It
- 8:32Speaker 1: means all this and now that that's it, and because
- 8:34Speaker 1: that's where sort of I suppose fundamentalism lies. And I'm
- 8:38Speaker 1: being a bit sort of tongue in cheek, but again,
- 8:40Speaker 1: you know, for me saying that, you know, well, church
- 8:44Speaker 1: isn't church anymore. This doesn't have anything to do with
- 8:46Speaker 1: it or whatever. And I have many disagreements with the
- 8:48Speaker 1: Catholic Church It's values on things that abortion and HOMOSEXVID
- 8:51Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Eventually it comes around, just like
- 8:53Speaker 1: it eventually acknowledged that the Sun was the center of
- 8:55Speaker 1: the fault solar system and not the Earth. But but
- 8:59Speaker 1: but you can't just kind of make it up as
- 9:01Speaker 1: you go. You can't just sort of pretend either it's
- 9:03Speaker 1: either it sits in that tradition and yes it evolves,
- 9:06Speaker 1: or it's just something else.
- 9:08Speaker 2: It's what was really interesting to me. So do you
- 9:10Speaker 2: want to pick.
- 9:14Speaker 4: What do you mean by evolving?
- 9:16Speaker 5: Because I can read you the scriptures and the original
- 9:18Speaker 5: Greek and Hebrew like it means what it has always meant,
- 9:22Speaker 5: or do you mean these different churches traditions?
- 9:26Speaker 1: Where is it? Where does it have the it is?
- 9:31Speaker 1: It is? The church evolves completely differently after the scriptures.
- 9:36Speaker 1: There are things that the scriptures do not address. And
- 9:38Speaker 1: there are things like the Nicene Creed, which the entire
- 9:40Speaker 1: Christian Church across Western Europe.
- 9:43Speaker 4: Sure, there's outliers. Scriptures especially not a script.
- 9:47Speaker 1: That was a conference. That was a conference called by
- 9:49Speaker 1: the Emperor Constantine, who said, right, what is this, what
- 9:52Speaker 1: does it mean? So, for example, is Jesus.
- 9:54Speaker 4: I'm not having an argument about the canon, what made
- 9:56Speaker 4: it in? Made it in?
- 9:57Speaker 1: But what this is this is after the canonasically already
- 10:00Speaker 1: been decided. And people say, all right, well, there you
- 10:03Speaker 1: had different bishops all around the ancient world arguing over
- 10:05Speaker 1: whether Jesus was the son of God or whether he
- 10:08Speaker 1: was also God himself. And that turns into the nice
- 10:11Speaker 1: Scene Creed, which is what you recite Toginches, which basically
- 10:14Speaker 1: puts this whole thing together. Is you know, God of God,
- 10:16Speaker 1: from God like from light, true God, from true God, begotten,
- 10:19Speaker 1: not made, the only son of the Father, consubstantial with
- 10:22Speaker 1: the Father. So there's all this stuff. So there's all
- 10:26Speaker 1: this stuff that people are trying to get their heads around,
- 10:29Speaker 1: which is not spelt out in the Bible. And there
- 10:31Speaker 1: are contradictory things in the Bible. There's no you know,
- 10:34Speaker 1: bits in the Bible, where you know the ass in
- 10:37Speaker 1: the Nativity scene, does it exist? A lot of this
- 10:39Speaker 1: comes from later traditions that are a.
- 10:41Speaker 5: Bdly of sateriological importance, really selviffic whether they're okay.
- 10:47Speaker 1: There are a lot of theologians and a lot of
- 10:48Speaker 1: theologist historians will say that it is very unlikely that
- 10:52Speaker 1: there was an original kind of Eucharist in the Bible. Okay.
- 10:57Speaker 3: But rather than get into all the theological debate, in
- 11:00Speaker 3: interested me was when Queen Elizabeth I died this largely
- 11:05Speaker 3: self declared secular state where nobody believes in anything and
- 11:08Speaker 3: when you die, that's it. And yet people were transfixed,
- 11:12Speaker 3: particularly by her funeral, which didn't try to modernize. It
- 11:15Speaker 3: had all the tradition but also the Bible references and
- 11:19Speaker 3: the spirituality of it, and people around the world were
- 11:22Speaker 3: transfixed by it and greatly moved by it. And I
- 11:25Speaker 3: thought there was an interesting lesson to people who think
- 11:28Speaker 3: you've got to have the latest and greatest and belles
- 11:31Speaker 3: on everything, and you've got to change the message to.
- 11:33Speaker 2: Suit the culture.
- 11:34Speaker 3: The culture's actually looking for a message that is timeless.
- 11:39Speaker 3: Because everything is fads, everything is immediate. People are looking
- 11:42Speaker 3: for something that has stood the test of time, and
- 11:44Speaker 3: that is actually not timely but beyond the times, which
- 11:48Speaker 3: if God exists, then his message is not just for
- 11:51Speaker 3: the times, it actually exists beyond the times. And I
- 11:54Speaker 3: thought her funeral was a great demonstration of people's appetite
- 11:57Speaker 3: for that in a world that offers very little that's
- 12:00Speaker 3: fixed or sold.
- 12:01Speaker 1: Here Jesus. Jesus also existed before he was born, by
- 12:05Speaker 1: the way, that's another part of the creed, of course,
- 12:08Speaker 1: the all time he could be God. That's right, Yeah,
- 12:13Speaker 1: that's right.
- 12:16Speaker 4: Let me tell you about that never deviated.
- 12:18Speaker 5: This church is completely and utterly based, and that is the.
- 12:23Speaker 4: Russian Orthodox Church. We're changing topics, but we're rarely this
- 12:27Speaker 4: is still.
- 12:28Speaker 5: Recognized as the national religion.
- 12:32Speaker 4: The vast majority of Russians will tell you, yeah, we're
- 12:34Speaker 4: Russian Orthodox.
- 12:35Speaker 5: It's who we are, it's what we do, and it's
- 12:37Speaker 5: to that that Russia owes a lot of its underlying values.
- 12:41Speaker 5: You can't go to Russia and find seventy five different genders.
- 12:45Speaker 4: They simply don't play that game.
- 12:48Speaker 5: Puton is always outspoken saying, sure, we've got twenty six
- 12:51Speaker 5: million Muslims here, but minorities need us We don't need minorities.
- 12:57Speaker 4: We do not change our laws for you. If you
- 12:59Speaker 4: like law, stay in the countries where sharia law is.
- 13:03Speaker 5: Anyway, as Russia has been watching the Western world trip
- 13:08Speaker 5: over itself, trying to define simple things.
- 13:10Speaker 4: Like hmm, what is a woman?
- 13:13Speaker 5: Putin has decided to put a call out to those
- 13:15Speaker 5: of us who are sick and tired of this cultural Marxism,
- 13:20Speaker 5: neoliberalism taking over in our governments, in our schools, universities.
- 13:25Speaker 4: He's like, hey, do you wanna come to Russia?
- 13:30Speaker 5: Knowing from this article today, after a degree signed by
- 13:33Speaker 5: President Vladimir Putin, Russia is relaxing temporary residence requirements for
- 13:38Speaker 5: foreign citizens wishing to escape quote destructive neoliberal ideas which
- 13:44Speaker 5: run counter to traditional Russian spiritual.
- 13:48Speaker 4: And moral values.
- 13:49Speaker 5: Say what you will about the current situation or what
- 13:53Speaker 5: you probably think about Putin, this is a very traditional
- 13:58Speaker 5: country and it shows in their values.
- 14:02Speaker 4: Given we were.
- 14:02Speaker 5: Talking about, well, reproductive rights recently, babies born alive.
- 14:06Speaker 4: Will get to that shortly.
- 14:08Speaker 5: Russia's this is reflected even in their abortion laws illegal
- 14:12Speaker 5: and if it's over twelve weeks, and anyone who performs
- 14:16Speaker 5: an abortion in Russia has to try their hardest to convince.
- 14:20Speaker 4: The woman we have supports for you. You don't have
- 14:23Speaker 4: to go through with this.
- 14:24Speaker 5: I mean, when the Home Secretary back in the US
- 14:28Speaker 5: told Americans earlier this year, for obvious reasons, do not
- 14:31Speaker 5: go to Russia under any circumstances, some American joker expats
- 14:37Speaker 5: in Russia decided to take it upon themselves to say, yeah,
- 14:41Speaker 5: it's terrible here.
- 14:43Speaker 4: You shouldn't come for some of the following reasons.
- 14:49Speaker 6: One reason why you definitely shouldn't come to Russia is
- 14:52Speaker 6: that we have family values here. A mother is called
- 14:56Speaker 6: a mother and a father is called a father, and
- 14:58Speaker 6: as we know now in the US, that's a bad thing.
- 15:02Speaker 6: You definitely shouldn't come to Russia because we're a dictatorship.
- 15:06Speaker 6: Looting is not allowed, so if you loot, unlike in
- 15:10Speaker 6: the US, in Russia, you'll get persecuted.
- 15:13Speaker 7: If you come to Russia and you commit a crime,
- 15:15Speaker 7: you will get prosecuted, and that is bad.
- 15:19Speaker 2: So you probably don't want to come to Russia.
- 15:21Speaker 6: If you enjoy heaps of trash and rats all over
- 15:25Speaker 6: the downtown areas of your cities, then you should definitely
- 15:28Speaker 6: not come to Russia because you'll be missing that here.
- 15:33Speaker 4: The video goes on and on and on.
- 15:35Speaker 5: It's very jovabile, But I love the point that they
- 15:38Speaker 5: make because you never know how much of what we're
- 15:41Speaker 5: fed here in the West is pure propaganda.
- 15:44Speaker 3: As opposed to Russia, where everything is true and prota
- 15:48Speaker 3: is something you can absolutely take every.
- 15:50Speaker 5: Word is you genuinely think it's funny though, that we
- 15:52Speaker 5: in the West think that we're subjected to less propaganda.
- 15:56Speaker 4: It's simply true.
- 15:57Speaker 3: I don't think get a price for pointing out that
- 15:59Speaker 3: the West is in big trouble, and so points to
- 16:02Speaker 3: Putin for pointing out we've got a lot of problems
- 16:04Speaker 3: in the West. But Joe, surely the West is still
- 16:07Speaker 3: preferable to Vladimir Putin's Russia, as wonderful parts of it
- 16:11Speaker 3: might be.
- 16:11Speaker 1: At least in the West you have a choice of propaganda.
- 16:14Speaker 1: You don't know, You don't just have to listen to whatever.
- 16:16Speaker 5: I have a choice of propaganda.
- 16:18Speaker 1: If you're gonna call it, if you're gone, you know
- 16:21Speaker 1: that's not you're gonna call it propaganda. If you're gonna
- 16:23Speaker 1: call it propaganda. At least there is diversity. There's a
- 16:26Speaker 1: range of things. If you if you want to tell
- 16:27Speaker 1: me that Fox News and CNN and MSNBC and the
- 16:31Speaker 1: New York Times and the New York Post are all
- 16:33Speaker 1: saying exactly the same thing.
- 16:35Speaker 3: Could those guys have stood in Red Square and just
- 16:38Speaker 3: mouthed off at Putin and talked about how corrupt he is,
- 16:41Speaker 3: how he riggs elections. Could they have stood in the
- 16:43Speaker 3: middle of Red Square and talked about, Oh, I don't know.
- 16:45Speaker 3: Malaysian Flight m H one seven, where thirty eight Australians
- 16:49Speaker 3: lost their lives and Russia refuses to have anything to
- 16:51Speaker 3: do with.
- 16:51Speaker 5: It is clearly tripping all over itself and looking weaker
- 16:58Speaker 5: by the day, especially on to the Biden administration, and
- 17:01Speaker 5: all US Western countries look to America.
- 17:04Speaker 4: US we're the top dog.
- 17:05Speaker 5: However you're going is really a reflection of how we
- 17:09Speaker 5: are going, whether you're talking about the economy, whether you're
- 17:12Speaker 5: talking about our military might. Meanwhile, the Axis Powers we
- 17:16Speaker 5: always talk about China as well, laughing at us, laughing
- 17:20Speaker 5: at the state of our military, because they're more concerned
- 17:23Speaker 5: with gbt IQ issue.
- 17:25Speaker 1: Teleman, So you think we should, I just think I'm
- 17:30Speaker 1: not talking.
- 17:31Speaker 4: About abolishing anything. I just know, if anything, this is
- 17:35Speaker 4: the biggest troll by Putin because he's like, I agree
- 17:38Speaker 4: with that ing. You guys are in big trouble.
- 17:40Speaker 5: So by the way I'm making he made literal allowances
- 17:45Speaker 5: for visas people from the West who are like, actually,
- 17:48Speaker 5: maybe we can give it a go and flee these
- 17:51Speaker 5: turning husts Western democracy.
- 17:54Speaker 4: He's like, open arms, you sanct troll.
- 17:58Speaker 1: But it also is something he clearly feels is necessary
- 18:01Speaker 1: to do, and it feels it's necessary to do for
- 18:03Speaker 1: the same reason why the US s R and the
- 18:07Speaker 1: Eastern Bloc countries are stagnated during the Cold War, which
- 18:11Speaker 1: is that a country that does not have migration, a
- 18:15Speaker 1: country that does not happen twenty six immigrants immigration. No,
- 18:21Speaker 1: they were in the former Soviet Union as well, it's.
- 18:24Speaker 5: There.
- 18:25Speaker 1: But the point being, point being that if you have
- 18:27Speaker 1: if you don't have enough people coming to a country,
- 18:30Speaker 1: it's stagnates because you're not bringing in the latest ideas,
- 18:32Speaker 1: the latest technology, the latest skills. That is why the
- 18:35Speaker 1: economy of East Germany stagnated and was a basket case,
- 18:39Speaker 1: while the economy of West Germany went gangbusters. And so
- 18:42Speaker 1: so again, this is the real story. The real story
- 18:45Speaker 1: that is happening here is that Putent wants higher levels
- 18:49Speaker 1: of immigration. You're welcome, and he'd.
- 18:52Speaker 5: Rather than from the West, unlike we in the West,
- 18:55Speaker 5: who are more than happy to just be like, oh,
- 18:58Speaker 5: any culture, any creed one down where Like what was
- 19:02Speaker 5: it the headline just a couple of weeks ago, Like
- 19:05Speaker 5: one in three Aussies weren't born here?
- 19:07Speaker 4: I mean that has a little massive What is wrong
- 19:11Speaker 4: with that? I like my culture.
- 19:13Speaker 2: The thing is.
- 19:15Speaker 3: I can point out what's wrong with the North Melbourne
- 19:16Speaker 3: football team. It doesn't mean they should make me the coach.
- 19:18Speaker 3: Putin can point out what's wrong with the West, doesn't
- 19:21Speaker 3: mean you should go and live under his regime. The
- 19:24Speaker 3: American election is getting interesting. The DNC, of course, is continuing.
- 19:28Speaker 3: We'll talk about that in a moment. But of particular
- 19:31Speaker 3: interest was the comment today by Robert F. Kennedy, Junior's
- 19:35Speaker 3: running mate, that he may consider dropping out of where
- 19:39Speaker 3: he is and supporting Donald Trump. Have listened to his
- 19:42Speaker 3: running mate Nicole Shanahan contemplating that very idea.
- 19:47Speaker 8: There's two options that we're looking at, and one is
- 19:53Speaker 8: staying in forming that new party. But we run the
- 19:55Speaker 8: risk of a Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris and Waltz presidency
- 20:02Speaker 8: because we draw votes from Trump, or we draw some
- 20:05Speaker 8: how more votes from Trump, or we walk away right
- 20:11Speaker 8: now and join forces with Donald Trump.
- 20:17Speaker 3: So'd be fascinating if they joined forces with Trump. Who
- 20:19Speaker 3: was asked what he thought of the idea?
- 20:22Speaker 9: And I asked you about RKA, because just moments ago
- 20:25Speaker 9: his running mates that they're considering endorsing you.
- 20:28Speaker 4: Have you considered him for a rule in the administration
- 20:30Speaker 4: and what role would that be?
- 20:31Speaker 6: Well, we haven't, but I would love that endorsement because
- 20:34Speaker 6: I've always liked him.
- 20:35Speaker 4: You would you also consider putting him in the administration?
- 20:39Speaker 2: You're asking me a very unusual question.
- 20:41Speaker 5: I haven't beenessed that question yet.
- 20:43Speaker 4: I like him a lot, I respect.
- 20:44Speaker 5: Him a lot. I probably would if something.
- 20:47Speaker 10: Like that would happen.
- 20:49Speaker 3: You know, he's a very different kind of a guy,
- 20:52Speaker 3: very smart.
- 20:52Speaker 2: Boy, And yeah, I would be honored by that endorsement.
- 20:56Speaker 3: Certainly be a great propaganda coupe, Liz if RFK came
- 21:02Speaker 3: over to Trump. But how much difference would it make
- 21:03Speaker 3: to his votes in certain states?
- 21:06Speaker 4: Probably significant? I mean RFK his wild card.
- 21:11Speaker 5: He's been running as an independent, and his VP in
- 21:14Speaker 5: this interview today was actually quite emotional because both of them,
- 21:20Speaker 5: both Kennedy and herself have been hardcore Dems their entire lives,
- 21:25Speaker 5: but had to go independent because the party was not
- 21:28Speaker 5: going to endorse him, and so they went independent, and
- 21:31Speaker 5: they have copped it from the Dems.
- 21:34Speaker 4: Trump has seen law fair, but so have they.
- 21:37Speaker 5: They say that they've even had moles placed in their
- 21:40Speaker 5: campaigns who are leaking information back to the DNC.
- 21:43Speaker 4: All sorts of untoward things have happened. They've tried to
- 21:48Speaker 4: be many of them.
- 21:50Speaker 5: They were trying to get Kennedy off the ticket in
- 21:53Speaker 5: several states, unsuccessfully, thank goodness. But they've reached a point
- 21:57Speaker 5: obviously where they've realized, we don't want to not be
- 22:03Speaker 5: a part of the Trump campaign. It's rumored that this
- 22:07Speaker 5: will happen on potentially Friday. Trump's got a big event
- 22:11Speaker 5: in LA, so it's strong rumors.
- 22:14Speaker 4: We'll see, if my solves is arecorrect.
- 22:17Speaker 5: That he will actually make this official as early as Friday,
- 22:20Speaker 5: which of course is why they're leaking it. This is
- 22:22Speaker 5: his VP pick, Kennedy's VP pick, so she wouldn't be
- 22:26Speaker 5: saying this if there wasn't a very real possibility that
- 22:30Speaker 5: that will be happening in the coming days. But it's
- 22:33Speaker 5: definitely interesting because one does wonder if they were taking
- 22:38Speaker 5: votes from the Dems, is this now going.
- 22:41Speaker 4: To cost them?
- 22:42Speaker 1: Well?
- 22:42Speaker 4: Will Dems now no longer vote for them?
- 22:45Speaker 5: Because the many Dems who feel homeless with regards to
- 22:49Speaker 5: a party as well, they don't like the current administration,
- 22:52Speaker 5: and so on the other hand, you've got hardcore Dems
- 22:56Speaker 5: who will always vote for a Kennedy by virtue of
- 22:59Speaker 5: having the life name.
- 23:01Speaker 4: I think it would affect the Trump campaign in a
- 23:03Speaker 4: very positive way personally.
- 23:05Speaker 1: Do you reckon Joe? Yeah, it's an interesting one. I
- 23:07Speaker 1: And this I think was from when it was still
- 23:09Speaker 1: between Trump and Biden, but I'd heard that I read somewhere,
- 23:13Speaker 1: I think that that rfk's votes were coming about sixty
- 23:17Speaker 1: forty from Democrats, and so that was I suppose probably
- 23:20Speaker 1: the double haters who thought Joe Biden's just a you know,
- 23:24Speaker 1: his non compassmentor so I can't quite bring myself to
- 23:27Speaker 1: vote for Trump, but I'll vote for this third guy.
- 23:30Speaker 1: But it's interesting that she said that now they are
- 23:33Speaker 1: drawing more support from Trump voters than from Democrats. So
- 23:36Speaker 1: the simple laws of mathematics suggest that that would benefit Trump. Obviously,
- 23:42Speaker 1: and you know, we're seeing I think Paul Murray said
- 23:44Speaker 1: earlier this evening that things seemed to be tightening. Trump
- 23:48Speaker 1: seemed to be getting a little bit of a pickup.
- 23:50Speaker 1: And again once we see you know, I said, a
- 23:54Speaker 1: few people have said up certainly in a line. But
- 23:55Speaker 1: you know, the trend with Kamala Harris tends to be
- 23:58Speaker 1: the more people see of her, the more they don't
- 24:01Speaker 1: like her. And you know her, the DNC has been
- 24:05Speaker 1: a great advertisement, but the data set, like the DNC
- 24:08Speaker 1: machine is amazing. So all these slick set pieces, the
- 24:11Speaker 1: ads are really incredible, and that's what's given her this massive,
- 24:14Speaker 1: you know, come momentum. But when she is unscripted, when
- 24:18Speaker 1: she got you know, when she when she doesn't have
- 24:20Speaker 1: the teleprompter, when she starts spitballing about you know how
- 24:22Speaker 1: the economy works, because it all just pays for itself
- 24:25Speaker 1: in a debate environment, in a non friendly fire media environment,
- 24:30Speaker 1: in a press conference, you know, who knows what might happen.
- 24:34Speaker 1: And so obviously the last thing you want is to
- 24:37Speaker 1: know that you know, you're bleeding hand more votes to
- 24:41Speaker 1: a third party candidate than your opponent is. So yeah,
- 24:44Speaker 1: bye bye, RFK.
- 24:45Speaker 3: If RFK is going to go to Trump, Liz, he
- 24:48Speaker 3: has to do it better than last time when Trump
- 24:50Speaker 3: phoned him and they had a private conversation leaks, So
- 24:54Speaker 3: maybe he doesn't want to repeat of.
- 24:56Speaker 4: That blow blow.
- 24:57Speaker 5: Well, it seems like they've kissed and made up, because
- 25:00Speaker 5: if Trump's actually seriously saying I wouldn't not consider him
- 25:05Speaker 5: for a position in my administration, that's not something that
- 25:09Speaker 5: I think Kevan Trump would say very lightly to the DNC.
- 25:12Speaker 5: Now it was day two most recently.
- 25:16Speaker 4: I get a bit mixed up because they have them
- 25:18Speaker 4: at night and it's always our day. But I have.
- 25:20Speaker 5: Subjected myself to watching the entire two nights so that
- 25:25Speaker 5: you didn't have to. And can I just say you're
- 25:27Speaker 5: not missing out on anything except for a whole heap
- 25:31Speaker 5: of this.
- 25:34Speaker 11: My name is doctor Joey Brella pronounced she her Hers.
- 25:38Speaker 11: I'm a crowd president of the Garden Shape. I'm proud
- 25:42Speaker 11: to stand with Tamala Harris and Tim Wall because they
- 25:45Speaker 11: stand with the LGBTQ community. It's time to turn the
- 25:54Speaker 11: page on Trump.
- 25:55Speaker 10: Hurt.
- 25:56Speaker 11: Thank you.
- 26:00Speaker 4: Even more of this, Georgia.
- 26:04Speaker 11: How do you catch your vote? Turn out the world?
- 26:32Speaker 5: Zero talk of policies, zero talk of the changes that
- 26:35Speaker 5: they're going to exact if they make it to the
- 26:37Speaker 5: White House, which is a tough gig, by the way,
- 26:40Speaker 5: because you've got this woman promising everyone that things are
- 26:42Speaker 5: going to be so much better.
- 26:44Speaker 4: When she's in power. But you've been in power for
- 26:48Speaker 4: four whole years.
- 26:50Speaker 5: It was just a month ago that the media was
- 26:53Speaker 5: telling us the economy is fine under Biden.
- 26:56Speaker 4: Now that Kamala is in the same media is.
- 26:58Speaker 5: Telling us Kamala is going to the economy like there
- 27:01Speaker 5: are so many double dates you cannot keep up. Descartes
- 27:05Speaker 5: once said, I think, therefore, I am.
- 27:08Speaker 4: Watching the DNC.
- 27:10Speaker 5: I'm convinced that there are a heck of a lot
- 27:12Speaker 5: of people who don't think and yet still exist.
- 27:16Speaker 4: I wonder if that occurred to him.
- 27:18Speaker 5: I wonder if that occurred to him before he died.
- 27:21Speaker 3: Just watching there as the States nominate to Kamala, which
- 27:24Speaker 3: is largely ceremonial because of course it was already done
- 27:28Speaker 3: before the convention. But I mean, this is the mob
- 27:30Speaker 3: that's been going on about. You know, democracy is precious,
- 27:33Speaker 3: it's sacred, and yet they announced their votes with who
- 27:37Speaker 3: is he?
- 27:37Speaker 11: Little jil John?
- 27:38Speaker 1: I hadn't heard of him, but I'm going to go
- 27:39Speaker 1: and buy the album.
- 27:40Speaker 2: Yeah, well he's big now, you know.
- 27:42Speaker 3: And they've got transgendered people announcing their pronouns before I've
- 27:47Speaker 3: how many people from New Jersey, do you, reckon would
- 27:50Speaker 3: have thought?
- 27:50Speaker 2: Yeah that.
- 27:52Speaker 1: I'm sure doctor Joey is lovely and she's fantastic and
- 27:55Speaker 1: great at whatever, and she could do whatever she wants
- 27:57Speaker 1: and call herself whatever she wants. But again, this is
- 28:01Speaker 1: where the activist base of a party is often its
- 28:03Speaker 1: own worst enemy and does it worst like if you
- 28:06Speaker 1: are trying to clearly you know, the Republicans have seized
- 28:09Speaker 1: on that in are circulating that, and that's where we
- 28:11Speaker 1: got it from and that's where we find it. But
- 28:14Speaker 1: but you know that is going to be where you know,
- 28:17Speaker 1: middle Americans, possibly people who weren't planning to vote, who
- 28:21Speaker 1: might actually come out of faces. I don't know if
- 28:23Speaker 1: I really I'm all on board with all that stuff.
- 28:26Speaker 1: That seems just a bit funny to me. They probably
- 28:27Speaker 1: won't talk about it. They'll probably keep it to themselves.
- 28:30Speaker 1: It'd be like the shy Trump voter we saw at
- 28:31Speaker 1: the last election. Even if they exist or not, which
- 28:34Speaker 1: is still debated. So again, you just you've got an election.
- 28:37Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of just keeping it clean, keeping
- 28:40Speaker 1: it straight, keeping it down the middle, you know, even
- 28:43Speaker 1: keeping it boring if you have to, but just being
- 28:45Speaker 1: that you know, like like once you get people and
- 28:48Speaker 1: seen all the protesters outside that you know a mean
- 28:50Speaker 1: and Keller was talking about earlier, just once people say
- 28:53Speaker 1: if this is this basket of lunatics who Kamala Harris
- 28:57Speaker 1: is representing and who she's going to give power to,
- 29:00Speaker 1: then I reckon, there's a whole bunch of people. I think, ah,
- 29:02Speaker 1: maybe Trump's not so bad after all, And they just
- 29:04Speaker 1: go away and quietly, and so again this is why
- 29:06Speaker 1: you just got a little John here was awesome. What's
- 29:09Speaker 1: wrong with that?
- 29:09Speaker 3: We you speak about activists hijacking the event, and of
- 29:12Speaker 3: course we talked to think it was last night about
- 29:14Speaker 3: how day one, Planned Parenthood had had a truck out
- 29:17Speaker 3: the front of the convention. We're offering free abortions for
- 29:21Speaker 3: anybody who wanted to celebrate the Democratic Party and take.
- 29:25Speaker 2: Care of a little personal issue.
- 29:27Speaker 3: And Plant Parenthood were boasting after day one that they
- 29:29Speaker 3: had provided ten free abortions, and apparently Liz this was
- 29:33Speaker 3: a wonderful thing for America.
- 29:34Speaker 4: I just find this utterly grotesque.
- 29:37Speaker 5: The Dems know that abortion and the unions are basically
- 29:41Speaker 5: all they've got to campaign on. That is their two
- 29:45Speaker 5: battering rams against the Trump campaign, and the amount of
- 29:50Speaker 5: times it feels like every second speaker that takes the
- 29:54Speaker 5: podium at the DNC is basically like, humanity, kill your
- 29:59Speaker 5: unborn children, and if in any way it's made difficult
- 30:03Speaker 5: for you, you're oppressed.
- 30:06Speaker 2: And then but we've got to truck out the front.
- 30:09Speaker 5: Massive slide of hand talking up IVF and saying how
- 30:14Speaker 5: pro family they are. So you want to be pro
- 30:18Speaker 5: overtly pro killing children in the womb while marketing yourself
- 30:23Speaker 5: to those brainless beings present that you're pro family.
- 30:29Speaker 4: I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
- 30:31Speaker 5: I was watching this in utter disbelief the fact that
- 30:35Speaker 5: they've also got free visectomes happening in their car park.
- 30:40Speaker 5: Had literally boasted that they were booked out. Like I
- 30:44Speaker 5: said last night, maybe you're doing us all a favor
- 30:47Speaker 5: withdrawing from the gene pool.
- 30:48Speaker 4: If you're a male voting Democrat with.
- 30:50Speaker 1: That is and it's not not like and again, I'm
- 30:52Speaker 1: pro choice, and I've had a vasectomy. Sorry, lady, how
- 30:55Speaker 1: can you be Catholic in proch I know, well, like
- 30:57Speaker 1: I said, like I said, I disagree with the Church
- 31:00Speaker 1: number of things, but you know, again, the Church once
- 31:02Speaker 1: believed and locked up Galileo for saying that, you know,
- 31:05Speaker 1: the world was not the center of the universe.
- 31:07Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
- 31:08Speaker 5: If that's not the hell you're willing to die on,
- 31:10Speaker 5: you cannot call yourself any.
- 31:11Speaker 1: Form of Christian No, I don't know about that anyway.
- 31:14Speaker 1: Point being, there's a difference between that and and sort
- 31:18Speaker 1: of celebrating it. So there's difference between like an abortion,
- 31:21Speaker 1: having that choice is often is often the last resort.
- 31:24Speaker 1: It's something that most women really don't want to do,
- 31:27Speaker 1: but would rather do that than have a baby they
- 31:29Speaker 1: can't support or don't want to came about through rape
- 31:31Speaker 1: or some other horrible thing. And again, so there's a
- 31:35Speaker 1: difference between that and then the crazy loonies, the extremists
- 31:38Speaker 1: that are going, yeah, abortions for all, here go.
- 31:40Speaker 2: You get an abortion, You get an abortion.
- 31:42Speaker 1: And that is also going to put a few people off.
- 31:44Speaker 1: I think there'll be a lot of people going into
- 31:45Speaker 1: ballot box who were nervous about abortions being illegal and
- 31:49Speaker 1: never being able to get access to one if God
- 31:52Speaker 1: forbid they needed to. That is very different to celebrating
- 31:56Speaker 1: running around killing fetuses.
- 31:58Speaker 3: While the DNC is celebrat abortion. There's an interesting discussion
- 32:02Speaker 3: happening here in Australia about the tragic consequences of late
- 32:06Speaker 3: term abortions, and that is the number of children who
- 32:08Speaker 3: are born alive in this country after a failed abortion
- 32:13Speaker 3: and then simply left to die without any care, comfort
- 32:18Speaker 3: or love. Now, in Queensland and in Victoria, there's no
- 32:22Speaker 3: law requiring those present when an abortion takes place to
- 32:26Speaker 3: do anything for the baby if the baby survives the
- 32:29Speaker 3: abortion attempt, which is quite outrageous because now it's not
- 32:33Speaker 3: a matter of abortion, it's a matter of a living
- 32:36Speaker 3: human being sitting right before you. Yet it has no
- 32:40Speaker 3: rights though it is a human being. As I said,
- 32:43Speaker 3: they're right in front of you. So the CATA Party
- 32:47Speaker 3: in Queensland is looking to change the law to require
- 32:50Speaker 3: abortionists and those present to render care. They are having
- 32:55Speaker 3: a parliamentary inquiry at present, and a midwife of some
- 32:59Speaker 3: experience and it spoke to the inquiry today. It's a
- 33:03Speaker 3: heart wrenching testimony but describing just what happens at present
- 33:06Speaker 3: and why it's so wrong.
- 33:09Speaker 10: We've had babies born alive after terminations from fifteen to
- 33:12Speaker 10: twenty two weeks, born alive, gasping for air, moving and
- 33:17Speaker 10: having a palpable heart rate, fighting for their lives as
- 33:20Speaker 10: we are humans designed to do. Parents of these babies
- 33:24Speaker 10: who are born alive after abortion do not want to
- 33:25Speaker 10: see or hold them. This means the only person left
- 33:29Speaker 10: who could possibly hold them is a midwife or a nurse.
- 33:33Speaker 10: If there were a pregnancy life so someone wanted baby,
- 33:37Speaker 10: the mother and father would usually comfort that baby while
- 33:39Speaker 10: the baby was alive until they pass.
- 33:43Speaker 3: Meanwhile, in Canberra, Senator Ralph Babet from the United Australia Party,
- 33:48Speaker 3: he moved a motion in the Senate yesterday asking senators
- 33:53Speaker 3: to agree with him that baby's born alive after a
- 33:57Speaker 3: failed abortion should at least be given some kind of comfort.
- 34:00Speaker 3: I mean someone should maybe hold that child as it
- 34:03Speaker 3: breathes its last or put a.
- 34:04Speaker 2: Blanket on that baby to keep it warm. He's a
- 34:07Speaker 2: little part of his speech.
- 34:10Speaker 1: President.
- 34:11Speaker 12: In this country, every single week, at least one baby
- 34:14Speaker 12: is born alive after a failed abortion. In some states
- 34:19Speaker 12: and territories, there is no legal requirement for that living
- 34:23Speaker 12: human being to receive any medical care. The baby is
- 34:28Speaker 12: often placed in a metal tray and left to die slowly.
- 34:33Speaker 12: I cannot President, for the life of me, understand how
- 34:37Speaker 12: we can bang on every single day in this place
- 34:39Speaker 12: about the importance of human rights while allowing the most
- 34:43Speaker 12: vulnerable human beings to be treated like garbage.
- 34:48Speaker 3: Now, when he got to the end of the speech,
- 34:49Speaker 3: this was the question. He asked senators that a baby
- 34:53Speaker 3: born alive after a failed abortion should, as a matter
- 34:56Speaker 3: of law, receive comfort and care. And do you know
- 35:00Speaker 3: how our Australian Senate voted. The Greens and the Labor
- 35:04Speaker 3: members all voted against that, and four Liberal senators also
- 35:09Speaker 3: voted against it. Senate Leader in South Australian Simon Birmingham,
- 35:14Speaker 3: Victorian Jane Hume, New South Wales Senators Andrew Bragg and
- 35:18Speaker 3: Maria Kovisik all voted No, boy, baby born alive after
- 35:23Speaker 3: a failed abortion should not receive, as a matter of law,
- 35:26Speaker 3: comfort and care.
- 35:28Speaker 5: Our Senate is full of psychopaths, like seriously, how else?
- 35:34Speaker 6: What?
- 35:35Speaker 5: Why would anyone for any reason vote against such an obvious,
- 35:42Speaker 5: clear cut motion. You wouldn't treat a dog like this
- 35:49Speaker 5: and if you did, you'd get done for animal cruelty.
- 35:52Speaker 4: It's that straight forward. This is downright.
- 35:57Speaker 5: I keep throwing around the words satanic and demonic because
- 36:00Speaker 5: there is no other words for this kind of evil
- 36:04Speaker 5: when a people are not willing to afford the we're
- 36:09Speaker 5: not even talking about most of these babies' lives. They're
- 36:11Speaker 5: no longer viable, okay, we are talking about their last
- 36:15Speaker 5: moments of a brief life on earth.
- 36:18Speaker 4: The murder was unsuccessful.
- 36:20Speaker 5: They're still alive, and we're talking about making them comfortable.
- 36:24Speaker 5: This is what we do for our elderly, it's what
- 36:26Speaker 5: we do for our terminally ill, and these babies aren't afforded.
- 36:31Speaker 5: That midwife that you shared a clip of, she broke
- 36:35Speaker 5: down its several instances while sharing this testimony.
- 36:38Speaker 4: And trust me, we did not show you the worst
- 36:40Speaker 4: of it.
- 36:41Speaker 5: Who are we as a society when we treat our
- 36:45Speaker 5: babies like that?
- 36:45Speaker 2: We've got to go to a break.
- 36:46Speaker 3: But if I can just indulge our producers for a moment,
- 36:49Speaker 3: I've just got to show you what happened while Ralph
- 36:50Speaker 3: Babett was speaking.
- 36:51Speaker 2: This is how bad some of our senators are.
- 36:53Speaker 3: Have a look at what Sarah Hanson young did behind
- 36:55Speaker 3: him as he's speaking to this motion.
- 36:57Speaker 2: Have a look you can see there as she walks
- 37:02Speaker 2: behind him.
- 37:02Speaker 3: He's asking that baby's born alive, receive care and look
- 37:06Speaker 3: at the face, folks at a tongue.
- 37:08Speaker 2: That's the attitude. Anyway. On that note, we're going to
- 37:11Speaker 2: go to a break.
- 37:12Speaker 3: When we come back, we'll look at what's making news
- 37:14Speaker 3: in tomorrow's papers, including elite schools in Victoria saying no
- 37:18Speaker 3: to competitive sport because apparently it's not good for kids.
- 37:21Speaker 2: That's coming up in a moment. Welcome back.
- 37:26Speaker 3: Let's take a look at what's making news in tomorrow's papers,
- 37:28Speaker 3: and lately the Adelaide Advertiser, I've got to say, have
- 37:31Speaker 3: been coming up with some great headlines. And tomorrow's headline
- 37:33Speaker 3: Joe is no exception.
- 37:35Speaker 1: It is an absolute banger. James Mark a flabby arm
- 37:38Speaker 1: fight headlights who says that nothing finn never happens in Adelaide.
- 37:43Speaker 1: Members are in revolt at the multimillion dollar next gen
- 37:48Speaker 1: Jim adjacent to Adelaide oval over the fees, closed showers
- 37:53Speaker 1: and are freezing quote unquote heated pool. But hang on
- 37:57Speaker 1: a minute, where are the flabby arms that that's not
- 37:59Speaker 1: a splash, that's not a headline. One leading legal eagle
- 38:03Speaker 1: said members were quote up in arms, and those arms
- 38:07Speaker 1: are starting to get flabby. I call me cynical, call
- 38:12Speaker 1: me cynical, old hack, but I suspect maybe that legal
- 38:16Speaker 1: eagle kind a bit of a mate. Would you say
- 38:19Speaker 1: that you know these arms are getting a bit flabby?
- 38:21Speaker 10: Oh?
- 38:21Speaker 1: Yes, I want that, Thank you very much. Pegon.
- 38:24Speaker 3: Are you saying they wrote the headline before they invested?
- 38:27Speaker 1: No, do that. No, I don't even think. No. I
- 38:30Speaker 1: would never suggest such a thing, nor would I ever
- 38:32Speaker 1: suggest that any journalist ever, where ever would ever sort
- 38:35Speaker 1: of a nudge an interviewer or a sorcerer's story towards
- 38:39Speaker 1: a particular form of words, never never, never unheard of.
- 38:43Speaker 2: They of course got the other. I don't know if
- 38:45Speaker 2: you wasn't really listening, I got to confessed.
- 38:47Speaker 3: Did you read the exclusive next gen Jim junkies in
- 38:49Speaker 3: weighty spats? So they got they got that pun in
- 38:52Speaker 3: there as well. There's a lot of flabby kids in
- 38:55Speaker 3: Victoria if schools continue with this trend of banning competitives sports.
- 39:00Speaker 3: The front page of the Herald's Son has a story
- 39:02Speaker 3: that reads, no contest for sports. Victoria's most elite schools
- 39:07Speaker 3: are moving away from competitive sports like football and rowing
- 39:10Speaker 3: in favor of walking and yoga and pilates, amid a
- 39:16Speaker 3: landmark review in what one school source called a dumbing
- 39:19Speaker 3: down of aps sport. There are fears the move is
- 39:22Speaker 3: due to an aversion to competition in private school ETA factories.
- 39:28Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure's just moved to Russia. I'm I'm on
- 39:32Speaker 1: my phone right for one of those seventeen to Moscow.
- 39:37Speaker 1: I'm coming again.
- 39:39Speaker 3: This is an unnamed source saying it's due to an
- 39:41Speaker 3: aversion to competition. But God help us if we're now
- 39:44Speaker 3: deciding that competition is about Sport is wonderful for kids.
- 39:48Speaker 3: As the father of teenage boys and Joe, you've got kids.
- 39:52Speaker 3: Sport is where they learn to win. It's where they
- 39:54Speaker 3: learn to lose. It's where they learn to persevere, it's
- 39:57Speaker 3: where they learn to be gracious. Sport is fair fantastic
- 40:00Speaker 3: for kids, and you've got to learn to win and
- 40:03Speaker 3: lose at some point in life. You might as well
- 40:06Speaker 3: learn early when the consequences are negligible. Wait until you're
- 40:10Speaker 3: an adult and find out, oh, losing hurts, and then
- 40:12Speaker 3: throw a hissy fit.
- 40:13Speaker 5: It's as if today's educators literally get around boardroom tables
- 40:18Speaker 5: and go, how else can we make them soft? Like
- 40:21Speaker 5: so soft they're just going to fail at life? How
- 40:23Speaker 5: can we make them more snowflake like? We've got our
- 40:27Speaker 5: safe spaces, We've got nobody offend anyone at any cost,
- 40:31Speaker 5: even if that's just well, the truth's offensive, so you
- 40:33Speaker 5: can't tell the truth. We've got these sporting bodies who
- 40:37Speaker 5: are now.
- 40:37Speaker 4: Like, oh, no contact sports. We don't want anyone to
- 40:40Speaker 4: get hurt.
- 40:41Speaker 5: It seems as if in every way, shape or form,
- 40:45Speaker 5: it's almost deliberate. They're like, how can we make these
- 40:48Speaker 5: kids even softly? Yesterday we were talking about the fact
- 40:52Speaker 5: that our security agencies are now going after misogyny and
- 40:57Speaker 5: high school boys, including just to quote them, traditional masculine
- 41:04Speaker 5: roles in society. No, no, that's up there with male supremacy.
- 41:09Speaker 5: Excuse me, what since when has that been misogyny? Are
- 41:12Speaker 5: they just going to beat out of our kids every
- 41:15Speaker 5: little bit of tenacity, competition, get up and go type spirits.
- 41:20Speaker 1: I've got to tell you, look, I don't know much
- 41:22Speaker 1: about sport. I don't know one thing, and that is
- 41:24Speaker 1: that yoga is not a contact sport. I found that
- 41:27Speaker 1: out the.
- 41:27Speaker 3: Hard way as an AFL love. But this article goes
- 41:31Speaker 3: on to say that the AFL are watching these developments
- 41:34Speaker 3: because a lot of the top draft picks come from
- 41:36Speaker 3: these particular schools. And so with these schools saying when
- 41:39Speaker 3: we do less contact sport that has ramifications for the
- 41:43Speaker 3: AFL draft.
- 41:44Speaker 5: That's disappointing for the boys hoping to be the next
- 41:46Speaker 5: big thing in the AFL. To the front page of
- 41:49Speaker 5: the Acambra Times, now bullying drives more women out of politics, Well,
- 41:54Speaker 5: if it's successfully driving you out, you don't belong there.
- 41:57Speaker 5: In my humble opinion, independent mp have called out chauvinistic,
- 42:01Speaker 5: aggressive and intimidatry.
- 42:05Speaker 2: What yeah, I think you did it?
- 42:06Speaker 5: Okay, thanks, behavior which they argue is driving women in
- 42:10Speaker 5: Australia away from public office. So there's this political dispute
- 42:16Speaker 5: going on. Slurs have been thrown someone's a racist, namely
- 42:21Speaker 5: Dutton if you believe Zali Segels. And now these teal
- 42:25Speaker 5: independents are coming out. It seems like they've sat around
- 42:29Speaker 5: a round table and decided their next hot topic is
- 42:32Speaker 5: misogyny and alleging that Parliament is riddled with this.
- 42:37Speaker 1: But didn't one of the teals, like the Chief Teal
- 42:40Speaker 1: Captain Teal also have their staffer quit their job because
- 42:44Speaker 1: the workplace conditions were so appalling.
- 42:46Speaker 4: And that's true.
- 42:49Speaker 1: Isn't that strange? It's almost like what's that word? H
- 42:56Speaker 1: hip hop? Hip hop?
- 42:58Speaker 3: Hip hop hip By the way, if Sarah Hanson Young
- 43:01Speaker 3: had been speaking in the Senate and Ralph Barbett walked
- 43:04Speaker 3: up behind her and made that face while.
- 43:06Speaker 5: She was can you imagine what is what is the misogyny,
- 43:12Speaker 5: the bullying them.
- 43:14Speaker 1: Bottomers hip hop hip hop record hipp hypocrisy? That's the
- 43:17Speaker 1: word you're looking forward tooe hell, you go much back
- 43:21Speaker 1: to the Great Daily Telegraph where they've got this amazing story.
- 43:25Speaker 1: I was writing the letter back tonight. This is a
- 43:28Speaker 1: girl was stabbed in Leicester Square in London. It's a
- 43:31Speaker 1: miracle she survived and we sat down with We sat
- 43:36Speaker 1: down the paper sat down with her and her mum
- 43:38Speaker 1: today and she said that she managed to pull through
- 43:44Speaker 1: her horrific ordeal. Right, she was stabbed in the face
- 43:46Speaker 1: and head awful. She managed to pull through her ordeal
- 43:50Speaker 1: because she'd gone to London to see Taylor Swift in
- 43:55Speaker 1: concert at Wembley stadium, and she knew that she had
- 43:58Speaker 1: to pull through so she could go and see Tato beautiful.
- 44:03Speaker 1: But she did go and see Tatay. She went to
- 44:06Speaker 1: see Tatay but I think it was even like nearly
- 44:09Speaker 1: the day after the attack, right, and she went there
- 44:11Speaker 1: accompanied by the two police officers who we stirred a safety.
- 44:17Speaker 2: Did she meet Teller Swift?
- 44:18Speaker 1: No, she was busy.
- 44:20Speaker 4: She really should have.
- 44:24Speaker 1: It had been the show. I'm sure Taylor didn't know that.
- 44:26Speaker 1: You know, maybe they had seats in the bleach.
- 44:28Speaker 2: It's a nice story that last.
- 44:31Speaker 5: But definitely not least to the front page of the Australian.
- 44:35Speaker 5: Chicken takes a licking as costs Bite.
- 44:39Speaker 4: Say, it ain't so cost of living can't be that bad.
- 44:43Speaker 5: Times are tough when the cheapest treat or night out
- 44:46Speaker 5: for a family on a Friday or Saturday, a bucket
- 44:49Speaker 5: of Kentucky Fried chicken or a McDonald's family dinner is
- 44:52Speaker 5: off the menu.
- 44:53Speaker 4: But that's the shocking news.
- 44:55Speaker 5: Federal MPs have been delivering apparently consumption of chicken the
- 45:00Speaker 5: cheapest and most popular protein for Australians. So we eat
- 45:03Speaker 5: fifty kilos each each a year. I was like fifty kilos,
- 45:08Speaker 5: that'd be about right. No, fifty kilos each a year
- 45:11Speaker 5: is down for the first time in decades, and falling
- 45:14Speaker 5: sales at KFC McDonald's is being seen as a big
- 45:17Speaker 5: contributing factor.
- 45:18Speaker 4: That's because people can get it cheaper at Willis.
- 45:21Speaker 5: You guys need to drop your prices.
- 45:23Speaker 4: You're no longer competitive. Sorry.
- 45:27Speaker 1: Yeah, I can tell you that as someone who had
- 45:31Speaker 1: KFC for dinner tonight, red rooster last night took a
- 45:35Speaker 1: bit of a break. The night before that had Hungry Jacks,
- 45:37Speaker 1: and then the previous night also had KFC, because I
- 45:40Speaker 1: count hot and spicy and original recipe as two different
- 45:43Speaker 1: types of meal. But yeah, no, it's absolutely true. And
- 45:46Speaker 1: chicken only became popular in World War Two as a
- 45:50Speaker 1: substitute for red meat because it was easier to produce
- 45:54Speaker 1: and you could and so they was saying, people, don't
- 45:58Speaker 1: eat your red meat, leave up the soldiers or whatever,
- 46:00Speaker 1: and you can have a look tried new delicious chicken.
- 46:02Speaker 1: Everyone went to it.
- 46:03Speaker 2: Joe Hill, we didn't go to a break.
- 46:06Speaker 3: When we come back, Kamala Harris tells her pilot, keep flying,
- 46:09Speaker 3: keep flying, don't.
- 46:10Speaker 2: Worry about the emissions that's coming up.
- 46:12Speaker 3: In a moment, welcome back, Well, Joe, Kamala Harris, she's
- 46:20Speaker 3: the DNC is happening, everything's going.
- 46:22Speaker 1: Well, it's all happening. It's all happening. And look, you
- 46:24Speaker 1: spring chickens wouldn't be old enough to remember this, but
- 46:26Speaker 1: this story filled me with a little bit of a
- 46:27Speaker 1: sense of deja vu. Now, Kamala Harris, she's on the plane.
- 46:31Speaker 1: You know, she's got the plane to herself, of course,
- 46:32Speaker 1: air Force one and whatever it is. She's cruising around
- 46:35Speaker 1: and then suddenly what should pop on the box but
- 46:38Speaker 1: her very own husband giving a speech at the Democratic
- 46:42Speaker 1: National Convention. But she's on the plane, of course, and
- 46:45Speaker 1: the plane's about to come into land.
- 46:46Speaker 7: So what do you do. Well, of course, like anyone else,
- 46:50Speaker 7: you tell the pilot to keep flying in the air
- 46:54Speaker 7: until your husband's finished talking on the television so you
- 46:57Speaker 7: can watch him. I mean, it's just common sense. Have
- 46:59Speaker 7: a listen.
- 47:01Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, the Vice President was returning to Chicago
- 47:03Speaker 9: after having campaigned in Milwaukee earlier in the day, and
- 47:07Speaker 9: she was on Air Force two when her husband, Doug M. Hart,
- 47:10Speaker 9: the Second Gentleman, began speaking at the convention. So the
- 47:13Speaker 9: plane actually circles for an extra fifteen minutes were told
- 47:17Speaker 9: in this guy so she could finish watching his speech.
- 47:21Speaker 1: There you go, And of course I misspokes. He was
- 47:23Speaker 1: on air Force two because air Force one can only
- 47:26Speaker 1: be air Force one if the president's on it. So
- 47:29Speaker 1: even if the president is on one of those little bicycles,
- 47:32Speaker 1: you know, with a little flappy wingsing, that becomes air
- 47:34Speaker 1: Force one because it's the prayers. One president who was
- 47:37Speaker 1: on air Force one was of course Bill Clinton, when
- 47:41Speaker 1: he infamously in nineteen ninety three was accused of holding
- 47:46Speaker 1: up air traffic at LIX Los Angeles International Airport so
- 47:51Speaker 1: he could get a cut a haircut.
- 47:55Speaker 4: Well, he was on board air Force.
- 47:56Speaker 1: One, that's right, So he was on board air Force one.
- 47:58Speaker 1: He was getting a haircut, and he kept it was on,
- 48:00Speaker 1: it was landed on the time, and it was holding
- 48:02Speaker 1: up flights apparently because his hairdresser, who was called Christoph
- 48:08Speaker 1: I kid you not, had not finished giving his haircut.
- 48:12Speaker 1: And in fact, I think George Sephanopolis even came out
- 48:15Speaker 1: and had to defend because he tries to make it
- 48:17Speaker 1: like it's something everybody does. Goes, oh, well, we all
- 48:19Speaker 1: have to get haircuts, don't we, you know, like we
- 48:21Speaker 1: have to get haircuts, and this was the only time
- 48:24Speaker 1: that he could do it. It's like, we don't all
- 48:27Speaker 1: have to get haircuts on Air Force one on the time? Mate?
- 48:30Speaker 2: Do you reckon everyone on the commercial flights?
- 48:31Speaker 3: You know when they say it's delayed, but they never
- 48:33Speaker 3: give you the real reason.
- 48:34Speaker 1: It would have delayed you to bad But it's delayed
- 48:36Speaker 1: girl problem. It laid you to a presidential head.
- 48:38Speaker 2: They wouldn't have said the presidential haircut.
- 48:40Speaker 1: It ended up being called it was a scan. It
- 48:41Speaker 1: was absolutely huge, and it was a scan, and it
- 48:43Speaker 1: was called hair gate.
- 48:45Speaker 2: It really really was, and it was That's the epitome
- 48:47Speaker 2: of entitlement right right.
- 48:49Speaker 1: And there was even a character in The Simpsons who
- 48:51Speaker 1: was late to save some money as I really shouldn't
- 48:54Speaker 1: have stopped for that haircut.
- 48:55Speaker 3: Well, that's all we've got time for tonight. Thanks for
- 48:58Speaker 3: your company stick around. Coming up is the Depending the
- 49:00Speaker 3: Shock
- 49:04Speaker 5: H
