Speaker 1: Lone from the Skying You Center.
0:03
Speaker 2: This is the Kenny Report. Thanks for joining me. The
0:07
Speaker 2: Albanezi Labor government turns its back on Israel, voting for
0:11
Speaker 2: a Palestinian resolution at the United Nations. Alexander Downer will
0:15
Speaker 2: join me. The Taliban turns up at the Azerbaijan climate
0:19
Speaker 2: talks while protesters are NOI fellow citizens here at home.
0:25
Speaker 2: Donald Trump returns to the White House for a fireside
0:28
Speaker 2: chat with Joe Biden. I'll cross to Christen Tate in
0:31
Speaker 2: the US. Also Tim Blair and Mark Nicholson on Labour's
0:34
Speaker 2: claim that you can rent a two bedroom unit in
0:37
Speaker 2: Sydney for a couple of hundred bucks a week. Let
0:40
Speaker 2: me know about that one. Let's get cracking. A sickening
0:47
Speaker 2: capitulation today by the alban Easy Labor government, a capitulation
0:51
Speaker 2: to extremism and terrorism in the Middle East and a
0:55
Speaker 2: surrender to base electoral politics here at home. After being
1:00
Speaker 2: in its response to the October the seventh atrocities and
1:03
Speaker 2: pathetic in its failure to respond to the hateful anti
1:07
Speaker 2: semitism triggered on our shores, Labour has now caved in
1:11
Speaker 2: at the United Nations and voted to support the sovereignty
1:15
Speaker 2: of a Palestinian state. So the senseless Islamist terrorism of
1:20
Speaker 2: October the seventh last year has been rewarded by the
1:24
Speaker 2: Albanese government with a nod towards Palestinian its aspirations for statehood.
1:31
Speaker 2: Thirteen months ago, more than twelve hundred people were murdered, children,
1:35
Speaker 2: women and families, and two hundred and fifty were taken hostage,
1:39
Speaker 2: including babies. Dozens of them have been killed, Nearly one
1:43
Speaker 2: hundred are still held, and a deadly war was triggered
1:47
Speaker 2: that continues to this day. And the response from the
1:51
Speaker 2: Prime Minister Anthony Albanesi and Foreign Minister Penny Wong is
1:55
Speaker 2: to acknowledge the sovereignty that they think Humus wants. The
2:00
Speaker 2: Foreign Minister is trying to play this down now, saying
2:03
Speaker 2: that resolution relates only to sovereignty over natural resources, not statehood.
2:09
Speaker 2: But this is obfuscation. The resolution is detailed and it
2:13
Speaker 2: relates to a range of Palestinian grievances against Israel. Yes,
2:18
Speaker 2: it focuses on natural resources, but how can people have
2:22
Speaker 2: sovereignty over their natural resources without sovereignty overall? And the
2:27
Speaker 2: point is that Australia has voted against this draft resolution
2:31
Speaker 2: in the past. It's clearly a change from Australia, which
2:35
Speaker 2: under the coalition would vote against these resolutions. Under Labour
2:39
Speaker 2: has started to abstain, but now it's voted yes and
2:43
Speaker 2: thrown its lot in, with the weak and acquiescent majority
2:48
Speaker 2: voting for the resolution and aligning themselves with Palestinians and
2:53
Speaker 2: against Israel. This is not only grotesque, it's absurd because
2:58
Speaker 2: neither Hummus, nor Hesbla, nor Islamicjihad nor Iran will ever
3:03
Speaker 2: accept and implement the establishment of a Palestinian state that
3:08
Speaker 2: requires recognition and security for the state of Israel. This
3:12
Speaker 2: is idiotic because there has never been a Palestinian state,
3:16
Speaker 2: and every time one has been on offer, it's the
3:19
Speaker 2: Palestinians who have rejected it, preferring to back islamis terra
3:24
Speaker 2: outfits like Humas who want to kill Jews and eliminate Israel.
3:29
Speaker 2: This is also inane because the election of the Trump
3:32
Speaker 2: administration will see US support for Israel's strengthen and Australia
3:38
Speaker 2: is therefore heading in the opposite diplomatic direction to our
3:41
Speaker 2: most important ally and the most important external player in
3:45
Speaker 2: the Middle East. Jews have been in Israel for three
3:49
Speaker 2: thousand years or more. They are indigenous to the lands
3:53
Speaker 2: on which Israel stands. They've been there for centuries before
3:57
Speaker 2: the term Palestine was even coined, and thousands of years
4:01
Speaker 2: before the Muslim religion was founded. Palestinians have lived under
4:05
Speaker 2: the Romans, the Turks, the Egyptians, the Syrians, and the
4:10
Speaker 2: rulers of Jordan. They were eventually offered a separate state
4:14
Speaker 2: only as the modern state of Israel was established after
4:17
Speaker 2: the Second World War, and they've repeatedly rejected all offers
4:22
Speaker 2: to take that up. As I said, to pretend there
4:25
Speaker 2: is a Palestinian state to recognize now is not only
4:29
Speaker 2: a shocking attempt to appease the murderous behavior of Hummus,
4:33
Speaker 2: It's reckless folly. I mean, where is this state of
4:36
Speaker 2: Palestine and who runs it?
4:39
Speaker 3: Is it?
4:39
Speaker 2: Hummus? Shouldn't Hummus hand back all hostages and stop fighting
4:44
Speaker 2: Israel first before people talk of future plans, And shouldn't
4:49
Speaker 2: Wong and alban Easy think about whether Hummus wants peace
4:54
Speaker 2: before they try to assuage it with a delusional attempt
4:57
Speaker 2: to recognize a make believe state. This won't do anything
5:02
Speaker 2: to advance peace or a peace humm us. If you
5:05
Speaker 2: don't understand that, you haven't been paying attention for the
5:07
Speaker 2: past fifty years. This is just a horrible betrayal of Israel,
5:12
Speaker 2: an embarrassing case of diplomatic virtue signaling, and yet another
5:16
Speaker 2: blow from Labor against the Australian Jewish community. And it's
5:21
Speaker 2: a transparent attempt to play based politics by trying to
5:24
Speaker 2: protect Labor MPs from Muslim Voice candidates and the Greens.
5:30
Speaker 2: Labor is selling out Israel and diminishing Australia's global values
5:35
Speaker 2: just to try to protect a few seats from an
5:37
Speaker 2: anti Israel backlash. The alb and easy Labor government is
5:43
Speaker 2: not worthy of our great nation. Still, in better news,
5:51
Speaker 2: I've found the Australian of the Year. I don't know
5:54
Speaker 2: his name or what he does for a living, so
5:56
Speaker 2: when I show you pictures of him in just a moment,
5:59
Speaker 2: let us know you recognize him. I'd love to track
6:01
Speaker 2: him down. You see. There was another one of those selfish,
6:04
Speaker 2: idiotic climate protests in Melbourne this morning, when the mindless
6:09
Speaker 2: activists decided that their moral vanity was more important than
6:13
Speaker 2: other people's right to get to work and live their lives.
6:16
Speaker 2: And one bloke stepped in and did the country a favor.
6:20
Speaker 2: He is coverage from Channel seven.
6:22
Speaker 4: They are furious that their morning commute to work has
6:27
Speaker 4: been absolutely destroyed because right now these people want to
6:30
Speaker 4: get to go about their business. They want to get
6:32
Speaker 4: to where they need to go this morning, and these
6:35
Speaker 4: protesters are stopping that.
6:37
Speaker 2: So not happy. Yeah, while traffic was stuck, people were delayed,
6:42
Speaker 2: and by the way, cars were then spewing emissions and
6:44
Speaker 2: going nowhere. One bloke stepped in and ripped a climate
6:49
Speaker 2: ballot banner away and showed these ferruhs what most people
6:52
Speaker 2: think of them and their mistreatment of their fellow citizens.
6:56
Speaker 2: How dare these clowns decide they can hold other people up?
7:00
Speaker 2: How dare they think their idiocy is a higher priority
7:04
Speaker 2: than other people's lives. Where have you got to get
7:07
Speaker 2: to mate? I got an exam, Maine, You've got an exam.
7:10
Speaker 2: What time is your exam? Like eight thirty eight thirty?
7:13
Speaker 2: So I just think, like, I get it, it's important,
7:17
Speaker 2: but like, surely there's ten times better ways that.
7:20
Speaker 5: You can do it than this than just put people off.
7:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, just the added stress you need on the way
7:25
Speaker 2: to an exam. Hey, the protesters, by the way, have
7:28
Speaker 2: timed their actions to coincide with the COP twenty nine
7:31
Speaker 2: climate talk fest in Azerbaijan, where the former socialist Prime
7:35
Speaker 2: Minister of Portugal, now of course the UN chief, was
7:39
Speaker 2: talking up the alarmism.
7:41
Speaker 6: The sound you were is the ticking clock. We are
7:46
Speaker 6: in the final countdown to limit global temperatureise to one
7:50
Speaker 6: point five degrees celsius, and time is not on our side.
7:57
Speaker 6: Exhibit A twenty twenty four, with the hottest day on
8:02
Speaker 6: records and the hottest months on records, this is almost
8:08
Speaker 6: certain to be the hottest here on records, and the
8:13
Speaker 6: master class in climate destruction. Fabulous running for their lives
8:19
Speaker 6: before the next hurricane strikes.
8:22
Speaker 2: It's always the hottest day, it's always the most recent
8:26
Speaker 2: natural disasters are climate change, and it's always going to
8:29
Speaker 2: get much much worse when running out of time, And
8:32
Speaker 2: of course he was also talking up the need to
8:34
Speaker 2: get more money from countries like ours.
8:38
Speaker 6: On climate finans. The world must pay up on humanity.
8:43
Speaker 2: We will pay the price. They had time to pay up,
8:47
Speaker 2: and Chris Bowen is on his way there with our checkbook,
8:50
Speaker 2: so be afraid, and with rich countries giving money to
8:54
Speaker 2: poor countries. That would explain why the Taliban turned up
8:59
Speaker 2: the Kliminski pash. Yeah, great, no women in the Taliban delegation.
9:16
Speaker 2: Of course, they might hear some music or something, but
9:20
Speaker 2: apparently they're right into environmental causes. Now, the Taliban, labor
9:24
Speaker 2: and the Greens and the Taliban all on a unity ticket.
9:28
Speaker 2: A mob that's taking Afghanistan back to the Stone Age
9:31
Speaker 2: won't need to worry too much about carbon emissions. They
9:35
Speaker 2: just be after more cash from the West, wouldn't they.
9:38
Speaker 2: And if Western countries pump climate money into Afghanistan, where
9:42
Speaker 2: women are treated as sub human and where the Taliban
9:45
Speaker 2: has slaughtered people trying to help its country, and it
9:49
Speaker 2: just shows how far the UN and the climate crowd
9:51
Speaker 2: have drifted from proper humanitarian aims. Still, the climate protests
9:57
Speaker 2: continue in Australia and labor politicians don't seem to understand
10:01
Speaker 2: how to deal with them. A protest at the Port
10:04
Speaker 2: of Newcastle planned for the coming days was going to
10:07
Speaker 2: have kayaks and other vessels on the water, disrupting shipping,
10:11
Speaker 2: and because of those dangers, the Supreme Court rejected the
10:15
Speaker 2: protest application, Yet the local Labor Green's Council approved the
10:19
Speaker 2: protest and the state Labor Police minister gave the activists
10:24
Speaker 2: a green light.
10:26
Speaker 7: If they are peaceful and they are not doing anything unlawful,
10:30
Speaker 7: then happy days.
10:33
Speaker 2: Happy days, Happy days. For who. This is labor seeking
10:38
Speaker 2: to appease the lunatic left fringe, not a labor party,
10:41
Speaker 2: for the mainstream, or for defending the rights of workers
10:44
Speaker 2: to go about their business and earn a lawful wage.
10:48
Speaker 2: But then a former labor minister plans to sing at
10:51
Speaker 2: the protests.
10:53
Speaker 8: Are you as fast as gevah? Anything back by your carry.
11:06
Speaker 2: Set back for your country? All right, Yeah, Peter Garrett's
11:09
Speaker 2: going to be part of the action at Newcastle, a
11:11
Speaker 2: former federal Labor environment minister. No less. Now wonder labor
11:16
Speaker 2: isn't capable of standing up to these disruptive protests. It
11:20
Speaker 2: doesn't know whether it represents the workers or the protesters.
11:25
Speaker 2: And that's a pretty bad identity crisis. And lefties are
11:32
Speaker 2: melting down right around the world, of course, because of
11:35
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's election win, and they're always looking for something
11:39
Speaker 2: or someone to lash out at. They seem to have
11:41
Speaker 2: focused on what was Twitter and is now called X,
11:45
Speaker 2: the social media outfit that used to be dominated by
11:48
Speaker 2: the hard left and outfit that then used to censor
11:51
Speaker 2: anything conservative or anything that ran against the green left zeitgeist.
11:56
Speaker 2: That tended to change after it was bought by Elon Mutts,
12:00
Speaker 2: who's focused less on silencing ideological enemies and more on
12:05
Speaker 2: freedom of speech. And the left don't like it and
12:09
Speaker 2: they hate that Musk ended up backing Trump and is
12:12
Speaker 2: going to work with him on reshaping government. So the
12:15
Speaker 2: lefties are taking their bats and balls and they're going home.
12:20
Speaker 1: Hi.
12:20
Speaker 9: Everyone, I have loved connecting with all of you on
12:24
Speaker 9: Twitter and then on X for all of these.
12:26
Speaker 1: Years, but it's time for me to leave the platform.
12:29
Speaker 9: I once believed that it was a place for honest
12:31
Speaker 9: debate and discussion, transparency and.
12:34
Speaker 1: Free speech, but I now feel it does not serve
12:37
Speaker 1: that purpose.
12:39
Speaker 2: And the leftist British publication The Guardian, which has an
12:42
Speaker 2: Australian offshoot thanks to Malcolm Turnbull, it's also announced that
12:46
Speaker 2: it's moving off the X platform. This is something we've
12:50
Speaker 2: been considering for a while, it said, citing often disturbing
12:54
Speaker 2: content promoted or found on the platform, including far right
12:58
Speaker 2: conspiracy theories and race X is a toxic media platform
13:02
Speaker 2: and its owner, Elon Musk has been able to use
13:06
Speaker 2: its influence to shape political discourse. Well. Twitter or x
13:11
Speaker 2: has always had all sorts of horrible content. In the
13:15
Speaker 2: old days, anyone whose views were mainstream or right of
13:18
Speaker 2: center was effectively slanmered, abused and bullied off the platform.
13:24
Speaker 2: I guess the lefties enjoyed those days, and now they
13:27
Speaker 2: hate being exposed to a variety of views. This is
13:31
Speaker 2: why the left always get their political assessments so badly wrong,
13:34
Speaker 2: because they love to stay in their own virtuous circles,
13:37
Speaker 2: their own loopy, little lefty echo chambers. I hope they
13:41
Speaker 2: have fun. Let's go to Alexander Downer, now, the former
13:47
Speaker 2: Foreign Minister at this country, joining us live from Adelaide.
13:50
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us, Alexander. I've got to get your
13:52
Speaker 2: thoughts first up about this telling shift in Australia's position
13:57
Speaker 2: at the United Nations, actually voting in favor of a
14:00
Speaker 2: motion that seeds a sovereignty to the Palestinian territories over
14:05
Speaker 2: their resources. This is a shift in our position, is
14:07
Speaker 2: it not? Yes, it is.
14:12
Speaker 10: I don't think we've ever voted for that resolution before.
14:15
Speaker 10: I think in more recent years the Labor Party and
14:20
Speaker 10: maybe the Abbott and Turnbull government substained. But my recollection
14:25
Speaker 10: is that in my time we used to vote against it.
14:28
Speaker 10: You see, these resolutions are completely meaningless. They're just symbolic gestures,
14:34
Speaker 10: and if you're going to vote for the resolution, you
14:37
Speaker 10: must believe that somehow in doing so, that's going to
14:40
Speaker 10: make a difference. This resolution is not making any difference.
14:44
Speaker 10: It's another example of the Albanese government's extraordinary strategy of
14:50
Speaker 10: giving rewards to Hummas and for that matter, Hezbalah at
14:54
Speaker 10: the expense of Israel at a terrible time to do that.
15:00
Speaker 10: And it's ultimately it's about domestic politics, isn't it, Because
15:03
Speaker 10: anybody in the world is going to care how Australia voted.
15:07
Speaker 11: But it's about domestic politics.
15:09
Speaker 2: But the only thing that's changed in the Middle East
15:12
Speaker 2: is the atrocities of Hummas. There's been no consolidation or
15:18
Speaker 2: organization of the Palestinian leadership, quite the opposite. Of course,
15:21
Speaker 2: you've got Gaza at war and the West Bank isolated
15:25
Speaker 2: from it, so there's been no prospective or optimistic change
15:29
Speaker 2: on the ground that the only difference has been the atrocity.
15:32
Speaker 2: So it's actually caving into some of their stated demands
15:37
Speaker 2: because of terrorism.
15:41
Speaker 10: Well, if I were in government today, therefore, I could
15:45
Speaker 10: give a bit of advice to Penny Wong and the
15:48
Speaker 10: Labor government. I would think about drafting a resolution which
15:52
Speaker 10: demanded that HUMMAS hand over the one hundred or so
15:56
Speaker 10: hostages that they're still holding and cease a tax on it.
16:00
Speaker 10: Israel resume the seasepire that was in place until the
16:04
Speaker 10: seventh of October last year there was a ceasepy. Let's
16:09
Speaker 10: get Humas to resume that seasepy because if they don't,
16:12
Speaker 10: the war will go on.
16:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, a very very good suggestion. Let me bring it
16:17
Speaker 2: back to what's happening in the US now. And you've
16:20
Speaker 2: known and sparred with Kevin rudover many many years, is
16:24
Speaker 2: what he had to say back in twenty twenty two,
16:26
Speaker 2: not long before he was appointed a US ambassador.
16:30
Speaker 12: But for those of us who are allies the United States,
16:34
Speaker 12: never take a backward step in saying where allies the
16:36
Speaker 12: United States? You know, for all the American predisposition for
16:40
Speaker 12: episodic craziness.
16:42
Speaker 2: Look at Trump, how did that happen?
16:44
Speaker 12: Okay, that was a walk on the wild side for
16:48
Speaker 12: all of us.
16:50
Speaker 2: You know, the story Alexander is called Trump a village idiot.
16:52
Speaker 2: He says he's completely in incoherent. He says he's a
16:55
Speaker 2: threat to the Western democracy. So can he stay on
16:58
Speaker 2: as ambassador? Won't that harm our national interest? Well?
17:04
Speaker 10: I think we have to wait and see what happens
17:07
Speaker 10: after the twentieth of January, when the Trump administration comes in.
17:12
Speaker 10: I mean, the test ultimately is whether the representative we
17:16
Speaker 10: have there in Washington is able successfully to engage with
17:20
Speaker 10: the administration. And I mean, of course he's been able
17:23
Speaker 10: to engage very well with the Biden administration, and they've
17:27
Speaker 10: got a couple of months left, but that will be
17:30
Speaker 10: the test. I think if he's not able to get
17:34
Speaker 10: appointments and engage with the administration, exercise influence where it
17:39
Speaker 10: matters in Australia's national interest with the administration, then he'd
17:44
Speaker 10: be best advised to stand down, or if the worst
17:47
Speaker 10: comes to the worst, the government get him to stand down.
17:50
Speaker 10: But in the meantime, let's wait and see what the
17:53
Speaker 10: attitude of the Trump administration is to him. I mean,
17:57
Speaker 10: I don't think just sacking him now would be the
18:00
Speaker 10: right thing for the Albernese government to do.
18:03
Speaker 2: All right, let's just talk about he's going to be
18:05
Speaker 2: effectively America's foreign minister. The Secretary of State Donald Trump
18:10
Speaker 2: is named Marco Rubia. Here he is.
18:13
Speaker 13: It's a tremendous signer to the president with places confidence
18:16
Speaker 13: and me in a position of such importance. It's such
18:19
Speaker 13: a tremendous responsibility and the job of the Secretary of
18:22
Speaker 13: Status to execute on the foreign policy set by the
18:25
Speaker 13: elected president of the United States. And I hope to
18:27
Speaker 13: have the opportunity to do it. If my current colleagues
18:30
Speaker 13: here in the US Senate confirm me.
18:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, interesting stuff for senator and not a vast amount
18:36
Speaker 2: of experience in the field. What do you think of
18:38
Speaker 2: this choice, Alexander.
18:41
Speaker 10: I think he's a very good choice. Well, he has
18:43
Speaker 10: a lot of experience through his role as a senator.
18:47
Speaker 10: I mean, he's been a very high profile senator. He's
18:50
Speaker 10: been a presidential nomination candidate as well, So I mean
18:56
Speaker 10: I think he has a lot of experience. But what
18:59
Speaker 10: is really important is that he is one of those
19:03
Speaker 10: politicians who's committed to peace through strength, and that's what
19:08
Speaker 10: the United States security policy needs to get back to.
19:12
Speaker 10: He'll be a strong supporter of Israel, He'll be tough
19:16
Speaker 10: on Iran, tough on Russia, tough on China, and those
19:20
Speaker 10: governments in those countries need to understand that the game
19:25
Speaker 10: has changed. You won't get bleetings out of the White
19:27
Speaker 10: House pleading for de escalation, this sort of Chamberlain's style
19:33
Speaker 10: appeasement bleats. You will get a demand for peace, a
19:40
Speaker 10: demand for peace, Otherwise the consequences will be very dire,
19:44
Speaker 10: and I think Marco Rubio is a very good person
19:47
Speaker 10: to deliver that message.
19:50
Speaker 2: Great stuff. Thanks for joining us, Alexander. I appreciate it.
19:52
Speaker 2: Alexander down to their former foreign minister joining us live
19:55
Speaker 2: from Adelaide. I want to go to Queensland now and
19:58
Speaker 2: catch up with Keith Pitt, the former Resources Minister. Nationals
20:01
Speaker 2: MP joins us from Bunderberg. Good to speak to you again, Keith. Look,
20:05
Speaker 2: the Taliban are already in buk Baku in Azerbaijan, along
20:10
Speaker 2: with all sorts of representatives from a range of countries
20:13
Speaker 2: around the world, and the climate funds at the UN
20:17
Speaker 2: are demanding more money from donor nations, and Chris Bowen
20:21
Speaker 2: is on his way over there with our tax dollars.
20:24
Speaker 2: Should we be worried?
20:27
Speaker 7: Well, Chris, and portually it's already too late Chris Balon
20:30
Speaker 7: signed us up to this at the last cop that
20:32
Speaker 7: if you remember climate reparations, it was a blank check.
20:35
Speaker 2: No one knew how much it was. Well, now there's
20:37
Speaker 2: a number. It's one point eight.
20:39
Speaker 7: Trillion dollars Australian a year. Who you climate privilege would
20:44
Speaker 7: cost so much? And it's coming from the West to
20:47
Speaker 7: third world countries. And if you look at China, for example,
20:50
Speaker 7: allegedly a developing nation, they're going to build three hundred
20:53
Speaker 7: gigawatts if I remember correctly, of cul fired power stations,
20:56
Speaker 7: three hundred gigawatts. That's five times Australias East Coast market.
21:02
Speaker 2: Extraordinary, and we're putting ourselves through economic turmoil trying to
21:07
Speaker 2: reduce our MEAGA one percent of emissions. But we don't
21:10
Speaker 2: know how much Chris Bone is actually going to hand over.
21:13
Speaker 2: How much of that one point eight trillion is going
21:15
Speaker 2: to come from Australia do we? Is there any suggestion
21:18
Speaker 2: there will be any numbers touted at this conference.
21:22
Speaker 7: Well, not them aware of I think it'd be extremely
21:25
Speaker 7: foolish of the Albanezy government to put a number on
21:27
Speaker 7: it just before an election campaign, especially a number that
21:30
Speaker 7: could probably fund the hospital fix A lot of roads
21:33
Speaker 7: and help people.
21:33
Speaker 2: With costs that living right now.
21:35
Speaker 7: So I think that will be quite the tightly kept secret, Chris.
21:39
Speaker 2: Surely the election of Donald Trump changes everything though for
21:42
Speaker 2: these cop talks, so we expect he'll pull out of Paris.
21:47
Speaker 2: So you have the largest economy in the world and
21:50
Speaker 2: the largest admitter in the world, or either first or
21:53
Speaker 2: second pulling out of the talks. Won't that force a
21:57
Speaker 2: reality check on them all?
22:00
Speaker 7: Well, President like Trump said he'd get out of Paris
22:03
Speaker 7: last time, and he did.
22:04
Speaker 2: That's exactly what happened.
22:06
Speaker 7: The world's biggest emit is are China, the US, Russia,
22:09
Speaker 7: and India, and to be honest, there's not much going
22:12
Speaker 7: on there. It's about fifty seven percent of all world emissions,
22:15
Speaker 7: and they're going up in China, as you know, by
22:17
Speaker 7: an equivalent of Australia's entire contribution. So yes, I think
22:21
Speaker 7: the election of Donald Trump will make a significant difference
22:23
Speaker 7: in terms of the attitude to making changes in this area.
22:28
Speaker 7: But it won't make a difference whatsoever, not one iota
22:32
Speaker 7: to the alban Easy labor government.
22:33
Speaker 2: They'll continue on the road that they're on.
22:35
Speaker 7: It's an extraordinarily costly road and it just got more expensive.
22:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, indeed, thanks for joining us, Keith, I appreciate it.
22:41
Speaker 2: Keith Pitt, their nationals MP, joining us live from Bunderberg.
22:44
Speaker 2: Got to get your break. On the other side, we'll
22:46
Speaker 2: cross to the US and catch up with Kristen Tate
22:48
Speaker 2: talking about how Donald Trump's been welcome back into the
22:51
Speaker 2: Oval Office fireside chat there with Joe Biden. Let's head
22:59
Speaker 2: to the US where President Joe Biden, Yeah, he's still
23:02
Speaker 2: the president, where he welcomed Donald Trump back into the
23:05
Speaker 2: White House. The sitting president looked pretty toughed. You couldn't
23:08
Speaker 2: want the smile off his face. Well, mister President, I
23:13
Speaker 2: like him, former President.
23:14
Speaker 1: Thank you, Donald, congratulations, thank.
23:17
Speaker 2: You, and I'm looking forward to having I, like we said,
23:21
Speaker 2: smooth transition, whoeverything.
23:23
Speaker 13: We can make sure you're accommodated what you need, and
23:26
Speaker 13: we're going to get a chance to talk across some
23:28
Speaker 13: out today.
23:28
Speaker 5: It's good.
23:29
Speaker 14: Welcome you, Jay, thank you very much. And politics is tough,
23:35
Speaker 14: and it's many cases not a very nice world, but
23:40
Speaker 14: it is a nice world today and I appreciate very
23:42
Speaker 14: much a transition that's so smooth. It'll be as smooth
23:46
Speaker 14: as you can get. And I very much appreciate that, Joe,
23:49
Speaker 14: you are.
23:51
Speaker 2: Of course, they had a private chat after that. I
23:53
Speaker 2: wonder if they swapped notes on Kamala Harris. I caught
23:56
Speaker 2: up with Kristen Tate and said that the two men
23:59
Speaker 2: seem to have that meeting appropriately. Yes, And I.
24:03
Speaker 15: Think Joe Biden has never looked happier in his life.
24:07
Speaker 15: As Kamala might say, Chris, he is unburdened by what
24:10
Speaker 15: has been. He gets to say now that he is
24:14
Speaker 15: the only politician in American history who beat Donald Trump
24:18
Speaker 15: in an election. So I think he's pretty happy right now.
24:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's unburdened by what has been. And now I
24:25
Speaker 2: think Kamala Harris is burdened by what has been. You
24:29
Speaker 2: talk about that getting on in a very friendly fireside
24:31
Speaker 2: chat there. I want to show a little artificial intelligence
24:35
Speaker 2: generated name that I think is quite hilarious.
24:38
Speaker 5: Have a look.
24:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know that they're going to be quite
24:59
Speaker 2: that far and lead into the future.
25:01
Speaker 15: Christen, Hey, you never know, Chris Stranger. Things have happened,
25:07
Speaker 15: and this is twenty twenty four, the year of political
25:11
Speaker 15: unexpected occurrences, So never say never. But that video is
25:16
Speaker 15: amazing and I think Joe Biden's enjoying it too. He's
25:20
Speaker 15: having a great time right now.
25:21
Speaker 2: I reckon he is. Now. The thing is, we're going
25:23
Speaker 2: to hear a lot of comparisons I think to the
25:26
Speaker 2: last time there was a handover the change of president,
25:30
Speaker 2: and they're going to talk about the January, the sixth
25:32
Speaker 2: riots and all the rest of it, and Donald Trump
25:35
Speaker 2: not accepting the result will leave that to one side.
25:38
Speaker 2: I do want to remind people though, that the last
25:40
Speaker 2: time the Democrats lost, they were so magnanimous, were they
25:46
Speaker 2: They didn't accept it so well. Have a look at
25:48
Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton saying she would lead the resistance, so.
25:52
Speaker 16: You know, I'm now back to being an activist citizen
25:56
Speaker 16: and part of the resistance.
26:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, the resistance. And also Hillary Clinton said that Donald
26:04
Speaker 2: Trump back then when he won in twenty sixteen, was illegitimate.
26:09
Speaker 16: I do think that he knows that he's an illegitimate president,
26:15
Speaker 16: and because of that.
26:16
Speaker 15: Is yes, that's right, And the Democrats do this with
26:21
Speaker 15: a lot of different elections. By the way, there's Stacy
26:24
Speaker 15: Abrams who still goes around claiming that she is the
26:27
Speaker 15: governor of Georgia. And you have the supporters of Al
26:31
Speaker 15: Gore who claim he actually won that election. This is
26:34
Speaker 15: what the Democrats do. They love accusing Republicans of things
26:37
Speaker 15: that they themselves do all the time. But you know
26:41
Speaker 15: that's laughable. Hillary Clinton, I love seeing those old clips
26:45
Speaker 15: of her because it just reminds us that, you know,
26:48
Speaker 15: they're irrelevant.
26:50
Speaker 2: Now.
26:51
Speaker 15: These Democrats, they come and they put up this big
26:53
Speaker 15: fight and then they kind of just go into the
26:56
Speaker 15: dust pan of history and we never think about them anymore.
26:58
Speaker 15: I mean, Hillary Clinton has law all her irrelevance, and
27:01
Speaker 15: I think that's probably what's going to happen to Joe
27:03
Speaker 15: Biden and Kamala Harris.
27:05
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, she has never really accepted her lost Hillary Clinton,
27:08
Speaker 2: and she, like Harris, I think, will be burdened by
27:12
Speaker 2: what has been Let's talk about the team that Donald
27:15
Speaker 2: Trump is assembling around him. It's driving the hard left
27:19
Speaker 2: even more loopy than normal.
27:22
Speaker 17: The former and future president is moving quickly to fill
27:25
Speaker 17: the clown car and round out his cabinet before he
27:28
Speaker 17: changes his mind and fires them all.
27:30
Speaker 2: Moments ago.
27:31
Speaker 17: Trump announced today he has selected Fox Weekend morning show
27:36
Speaker 17: host and can't make this up, Pete Exact to service
27:39
Speaker 17: segregary defense, because why not.
27:40
Speaker 2: Kristen will I be surprised by how this works out
27:43
Speaker 2: in reality.
27:45
Speaker 15: Yeah, well, you know, Trump got a mandate. He knows
27:48
Speaker 15: that he's acting decisively here. And the left is terrified
27:51
Speaker 15: by these picks because Donald Trump is shaking up Washington.
27:55
Speaker 15: He's going to.
27:56
Speaker 3: Drain the swamp.
27:58
Speaker 15: And these leftists are absolutely terrified of that. This cabinet
28:02
Speaker 15: is their worst nightmare. And Pete heg Seth is a
28:05
Speaker 15: great pick. I've been on Fox News with him many times.
28:08
Speaker 15: He has the right attitude. The military has become feminized
28:13
Speaker 15: over the last few years. We have made it so
28:16
Speaker 15: young men do not want to join the military. It's
28:20
Speaker 15: just it's a national security threat at this point. So
28:23
Speaker 15: we need someone to get in there, someone who knows
28:26
Speaker 15: the military inside and out, who has been in it,
28:29
Speaker 15: and he is the right person to do it. He's
28:30
Speaker 15: not one of these, you know, deep skater people who's
28:34
Speaker 15: just been at the top ranks, not actually on the ground.
28:37
Speaker 15: He knows what he's talking about. And the rest of
28:40
Speaker 15: the cabinet picks two are just making these leftists' heads
28:43
Speaker 15: explode and it's just so much fun to watch.
28:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, Pete Headskifth is an incredible pick because Wally doesn't
28:50
Speaker 2: have experience running government to patments. He has a lot
28:53
Speaker 2: of experience in the military and talking about what the
28:57
Speaker 2: issues are. He is a little bit more of him
28:59
Speaker 2: talking about these.
29:00
Speaker 18: Choose all the same themes came out. You know, standard
29:04
Speaker 18: are dropping. The woke stuff is everywhere. I feel like
29:08
Speaker 18: I'm walking on eggshells. I heard that all the time,
29:10
Speaker 18: egg shells.
29:11
Speaker 2: I'm a commander.
29:12
Speaker 18: I walk on egg shell I train commanders. They're walking
29:15
Speaker 18: on eggs shells. They're afraid of one misstep on one
29:20
Speaker 18: identification or one gender thing, or one racial thing, or
29:22
Speaker 18: one trans thing, and the priorities are upside down on
29:26
Speaker 18: what the units are focusing on. And every single one
29:30
Speaker 18: of those distractions means we're less good at our job,
29:33
Speaker 18: which is supposed to be closed with and destroy the
29:35
Speaker 18: enemy on behalf of our nation and bring our boys home.
29:38
Speaker 1: That's all I care about.
29:39
Speaker 18: That's what I want a military focused on.
29:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kristin, I underestimate the size of his task. He's
29:45
Speaker 2: taking on one of the world's largest organizations, the US Defense.
29:50
Speaker 2: But I would have thought most Americans would agree with
29:53
Speaker 2: these priorities as he's light them out. I have the
29:56
Speaker 2: past many years.
29:58
Speaker 15: Yeah, of course they do you mentioned earlier that he
30:01
Speaker 15: doesn't have experience running government departments. Good, that's what we need.
30:06
Speaker 15: This is how we are going to reform these agencies
30:09
Speaker 15: and to actually drain the swamp. Look, Americans, they don't
30:13
Speaker 15: have confidence in the military anymore. It's sixty percent of
30:17
Speaker 15: the public, only sixty percent that has expressed any amount
30:21
Speaker 15: of significant confidence in the military. We need to reform
30:25
Speaker 15: the US military. We're not going to do that with
30:28
Speaker 15: the same people we've had in there for decades, the
30:32
Speaker 15: same swamp creatures.
30:33
Speaker 2: We need fresh.
30:34
Speaker 15: Blood in there, and we need someone who has actually
30:37
Speaker 15: been in the military and knows what needs to be done.
30:39
Speaker 15: He is the guy for the job.
30:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, Old Pal too him, and old Pal to you. Kristin,
30:44
Speaker 2: thanks for joining us again.
30:46
Speaker 15: Thank you very much, Chris.
30:48
Speaker 2: Okay, after the Briank, you're going to catch out with
30:51
Speaker 2: Tim Blair and Mac Nicholson. We'll talk more about Laba's
30:54
Speaker 2: net zero for the Fens plan. I'll show you an
30:56
Speaker 2: electric bush Masta plus the Guardians. He's fit putting Elon
31:01
Speaker 2: Musk's X. Tim Blair and Mark Nicholson coming up. But
31:08
Speaker 2: as I mentioned at the top of the show, there's
31:10
Speaker 2: been a sickening capitulation from the Albansi Labor government caving
31:14
Speaker 2: in at the United Nations and voting to support the
31:17
Speaker 2: sovereignty of a Palestinian state. Let's bringing doctor bren Carlyle,
31:21
Speaker 2: who's director of Special Projects at the Australia and Israel
31:25
Speaker 2: and Jewish Affairs Council. Thanks for joining us again, brenn.
31:28
Speaker 2: This news must have come like a bolt out of
31:31
Speaker 2: the blue. The United Nations is forever considering resolutions and
31:35
Speaker 2: draft resolutions like these. Not so long ago, Australia would
31:39
Speaker 2: generally oppose them. Under Labor we started to abstain from them,
31:43
Speaker 2: but this time actually voted yes.
31:48
Speaker 19: Yeah, it is a shame these resolutions. What's remarkable about
31:51
Speaker 19: these particular resolutions is the consistency over many, many years
31:56
Speaker 19: of both Labor and Coalition government. One of these resolutions
31:59
Speaker 19: that were voted on last night, both Labor and Coalition
32:02
Speaker 19: have voted no since two thousand and six, including the
32:05
Speaker 19: Albanese government, and one has been abstained from sin since
32:09
Speaker 19: twenty eleven, again including the Albanesi government.
32:11
Speaker 11: So it really is a shame that the government.
32:15
Speaker 19: Has decided to vote yes for this and if I
32:18
Speaker 19: may one in particular, and that is the Palestine, the
32:21
Speaker 19: Palestinian Sovereignty Resolution. It's actually in direct contrast to the
32:26
Speaker 19: Australian government's position on the Israeli Palestinian dispute. So it's
32:31
Speaker 19: odd that Australia would vote for it. And I can
32:34
Speaker 19: explain in thirty seconds the resolution. The text of the
32:38
Speaker 19: resolution negates any and all Israeli claims to the West Bank.
32:42
Speaker 19: The Australian government's position is that Israeli and Palestinian territorial
32:47
Speaker 19: claims will be determined through negotiations. That's of course the
32:49
Speaker 19: same position as Israel and the Palestinians and the UN
32:52
Speaker 19: and the US and so on. So it's really unfortunate
32:55
Speaker 19: that the government has decided to vote for a resolution.
32:58
Speaker 19: There's directly odds with the Australian governments.
33:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, when the boundary in the West Bank is always
33:05
Speaker 2: going to be an absolutely critical part of any negotiations
33:07
Speaker 2: for any two state solutions. So what has changed here?
33:10
Speaker 2: This is the big question. What has changed either in
33:13
Speaker 2: Australia or in the Middle East to see Australia's position change.
33:19
Speaker 19: Well, look, there is always a shifts over time between
33:23
Speaker 19: coalition and labor governments. A handful of resolutions get changed here,
33:27
Speaker 19: get changed there. Some of the more problematic resolutions, which
33:32
Speaker 19: have texts, such as the permanent sovereignty text, they don't
33:36
Speaker 19: get changed because of what the vote means.
33:39
Speaker 11: And of course there is an entire library of anti Israeli.
33:44
Speaker 19: When votes, as you alluded to, and they all fit
33:46
Speaker 19: the same pattern, which is, if Israel can be blamed
33:48
Speaker 19: for anything, then it will be loudly and repeatedly, and
33:52
Speaker 19: the responsibility and culpability of any other party is studiously ignored.
33:57
Speaker 19: But some of the texts and some of the resolutions
33:59
Speaker 19: have particularly problematic and I think the permanent Sovereignty resolution,
34:04
Speaker 19: the draft of which was voted for last night, is
34:08
Speaker 19: one of them.
34:09
Speaker 11: I think that the good news is maybe a going well.
34:12
Speaker 2: The point I was going to make is nothing prospective
34:15
Speaker 2: has changed on the ground. There's been nothing from the
34:19
Speaker 2: Palestinian authority, from far PA, from Hamas that has suggested
34:23
Speaker 2: that the Palestinians are in a better position to bargain
34:26
Speaker 2: and negotiate and run a separate state. I mean, it's
34:30
Speaker 2: all been the opposite. We've had terrorism, we've had war,
34:33
Speaker 2: we've had hummus defiance, still holding hostages, so why on
34:37
Speaker 2: earth would Australia capitulate to what they think Hummas wants
34:41
Speaker 2: under those circumstances.
34:45
Speaker 19: Look, I'll leave it to other people to determine the
34:48
Speaker 19: thinking of the Australian government, but certainly I can talk
34:52
Speaker 19: to the ramifications of it. I made it that these
34:56
Speaker 19: resolutions were passed in the Second Committee, and the Second
34:59
Speaker 19: Committee is mostly or largely focused on environmental issues, and
35:03
Speaker 19: so this resolution of the permanent sovereignty was really about
35:06
Speaker 19: resources and the natural environment in the West Bank and
35:09
Speaker 19: Gaza and in the Golan Heights. But the resolution, you know,
35:13
Speaker 19: the PA, the Palestinian Authority and Hamas for decades being
35:17
Speaker 19: pouring raw sewage into the West Bank and Gaza, but
35:21
Speaker 19: that of course is ignored by this resolution because you know,
35:24
Speaker 19: they can't pin that on Israel's It's just a symptom
35:28
Speaker 19: of the UN and the dictatorial majority that that really
35:32
Speaker 19: influences so much of the UN.
35:34
Speaker 2: And I might add.
35:37
Speaker 19: Weak minded Western foreign policies that seek to appease rather
35:41
Speaker 19: than stick to principles.
35:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, and iband Australia has joined them. That's that's the
35:45
Speaker 2: development of such a worry. Thanks for joining us, brand,
35:48
Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Doctor bren Khalil there from the Australian
35:51
Speaker 2: Jewish Affairs Council. Let's bringing our panel now, Tim Blair
35:54
Speaker 2: from the Daily Telegraph and Mark Nicholson from step Mate Studios.
35:57
Speaker 2: This is where we sort out everything. So we'll sort
35:59
Speaker 2: out the problems of the well gentlemen. And there's one
36:02
Speaker 2: I particularly keen to get your thoughts on, Mark, because
36:05
Speaker 2: I know you're interested in the defense of this great
36:07
Speaker 2: land and you must be particularly pleased that we now
36:10
Speaker 2: have a defense net zero strategy, so that rather than
36:15
Speaker 2: worrying about whether we've got the appropriate machinery and personnel
36:18
Speaker 2: and equipment to defend this country, we are making sure
36:21
Speaker 2: that we do not have a carbon emissions footprint from defense.
36:28
Speaker 3: It's truly terrifying, isn't it, Chris. It's truly terror It's
36:31
Speaker 3: like idiocracy in real life. The film is It's coming
36:35
Speaker 3: to life. We're joking about this. It's not that long ago,
36:37
Speaker 3: about like BIODEGRADEA will be fifty two's organic camouflage and
36:43
Speaker 3: EV tanks. We'll joking about this. And now this is
36:46
Speaker 3: like genuinely reality. I think, yeah, we're going to start
36:49
Speaker 3: seeing more diversity and inclusion all that toxic violence out
36:53
Speaker 3: of the army and out of the defense force.
36:55
Speaker 2: That's all coming.
36:56
Speaker 3: Our way as well in this big war against the weather.
36:58
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see its win, our mission accomplished. I
37:01
Speaker 3: can't wait for the flag to we raised it for
37:03
Speaker 3: the war against the weather.
37:06
Speaker 2: You spot on, once they get rid of the carbon emissions,
37:08
Speaker 2: the next thing for defenses to get rid of all
37:11
Speaker 2: that nasty aggressiveness and all that masculinity. Another war.
37:19
Speaker 3: This is the military industrial complex. You never forget about it.
37:21
Speaker 3: There's always another.
37:22
Speaker 2: War, war against the weather. I'm going to show you
37:25
Speaker 2: a clip of the electric Bushmaster before we get Tim's
37:28
Speaker 2: review here. It is, Oh yeah, they're faster, men a
37:52
Speaker 2: better apparently, Tim. I can just imagine the enemy commanders saying,
37:56
Speaker 2: shall we attack the Australians now? Well, actually, actually, guys,
38:00
Speaker 2: if we wait for an hour, they'll be camped for
38:03
Speaker 2: eight hours recharging.
38:06
Speaker 20: The one thing they haven't shown in that little clip,
38:08
Speaker 20: which by the way, is like the opening credits of
38:10
Speaker 20: the Thunderbirds. The one thing they haven't shown is when
38:13
Speaker 20: it's just plugged in and everyone's sitting around having a smoke.
38:19
Speaker 20: This approach was taken during previous actual combat it would
38:24
Speaker 20: be like, you know, the review of a particular event
38:27
Speaker 20: that led to the end of World War Two. Well,
38:30
Speaker 20: the good news is that the landing at Normandy went
38:33
Speaker 20: off pretty well. You know, we've driven back to Germans
38:35
Speaker 20: to reclaim friends. The bad news is we're going to
38:37
Speaker 20: be planting eucalypse for the next thousand years because our
38:41
Speaker 20: carbon footprints.
38:45
Speaker 2: It just SUTs my head in. I'm looking forward to
38:48
Speaker 2: what the new regime in the United States will make
38:51
Speaker 2: of this mark when you know, they want us to
38:54
Speaker 2: lift our bit and do our bit, carry our load
38:56
Speaker 2: when it comes to the Alliance and the new Defense
38:59
Speaker 2: Secretary Peter Henscith and of course Donald Trump learned that,
39:03
Speaker 2: don't worry, We're spending you know, three percent of ourther
39:06
Speaker 2: fence budget on going carbon neutral. They'll be big on that.
39:10
Speaker 3: Oh goodness, gracious, yeah, look that in that sense, thank
39:14
Speaker 3: God for August because thank God that you know, there
39:16
Speaker 3: can be some proxy wars for it. But Jesus, it's
39:20
Speaker 3: just true.
39:20
Speaker 2: It's just truly terrifying. Mate. It's the more.
39:23
Speaker 3: The only thing we've got is maybe that these things
39:25
Speaker 3: can self destruct. Maybe that's all this is, is some
39:27
Speaker 3: sort of trojan horse and that these electric electric vehicle
39:31
Speaker 3: they just explode once they're in there. Once they once,
39:34
Speaker 3: once we need them, they can just do their job there.
39:35
Speaker 3: I don't know.
39:36
Speaker 2: I just can't wait to see it. I think they're
39:38
Speaker 2: going to stand the choppers up and turn them into
39:40
Speaker 2: wind turbines to power the jeeps and it's going to
39:43
Speaker 2: be ticknty boot. Meanwhile, at least while the army's out
39:47
Speaker 2: there trying to save the planet, there's a lot of
39:50
Speaker 2: protesters out there doing it in Melbourne today. Let's have
39:52
Speaker 2: a look at what they're up to.
39:54
Speaker 4: They are furious that there are morning commute to work
39:58
Speaker 4: has been absolutely you destroy because right now these people
40:02
Speaker 4: want to get go about their business. They want to
40:04
Speaker 4: get to where they need to go this morning, and
40:07
Speaker 4: these protesters are stopping that.
40:09
Speaker 2: So I'm not happy. Jim, I reckon that bloke is
40:13
Speaker 2: Australian of the Year, ripping that banner away, taking a
40:16
Speaker 2: few protests with him.
40:18
Speaker 20: One hundred percent my vote for any public office of
40:22
Speaker 20: that chap once he's just demonstrated he's suitable for it.
40:25
Speaker 20: But we've reached the situation now where everyone, every motorist, everywhere,
40:30
Speaker 20: everyone behind the wheel in Australia has got to have
40:33
Speaker 20: a plan for when this happens to them. When or
40:35
Speaker 20: if this happens, you've got to know you're right. You've
40:38
Speaker 20: got to know if you're going to get in trouble
40:40
Speaker 20: if you do something like that, if you roll ahead
40:43
Speaker 20: at you point zero two kilometers per hour and and
40:45
Speaker 20: might run over someone's big toe, you've got to know
40:48
Speaker 20: you're right. Take some legal device in events, get prepared
40:50
Speaker 20: because it's going to happen to you and you, you
40:52
Speaker 20: know what, end up in the sort of trouble that
40:54
Speaker 20: these people should be any happier.
40:56
Speaker 2: Maybe if you drive a tesla they'll wave you through
41:00
Speaker 2: that aga. But what worries me about this market is
41:02
Speaker 2: this is going to get nasty season. The trouble is
41:04
Speaker 2: the police won't move them on. So if you leave
41:07
Speaker 2: it to motorists and individuals to do that sort of thing,
41:10
Speaker 2: it'll end up in a stout and someone will get
41:12
Speaker 2: hurt or it'll be the charges laid. This is where
41:15
Speaker 2: the police are letting us down. Get them off the police.
41:18
Speaker 2: They don't have to shut down the protest. They can
41:20
Speaker 2: stand on the footpath, but stop them blocking traffic.
41:25
Speaker 3: Spot on mate, it's spot on and it's the thing
41:27
Speaker 3: is that really gets me as well as that it's
41:29
Speaker 3: just it's ultimately really futile, and it's just dumb. It's
41:32
Speaker 3: they're not really it's not raising awareness, it's not actually
41:35
Speaker 3: doing anything. They feel like they've got no resort, and
41:38
Speaker 3: like your point before is like I've actually gone the
41:40
Speaker 3: other way. I've just bought a I just bought a Prato,
41:43
Speaker 3: like a.
41:44
Speaker 11: Turbo diesel, not an electric eagle. Everyone else that's got
41:46
Speaker 11: a hybridod two reasons.
41:48
Speaker 3: One, I think they're going to explode, but two just
41:50
Speaker 3: in case I end up in one of these situations
41:52
Speaker 3: and I've got to do a bit of a modown.
41:54
Speaker 3: That's what we're going to have to do. Just get
41:55
Speaker 3: through some protests. As what else do we do when
41:57
Speaker 3: we protest? We protest protesting. I don't know what to do.
42:00
Speaker 3: I'm stuck.
42:01
Speaker 2: So I get a tour that'll mate.
42:03
Speaker 20: You want, you want a vehicle that's got like high ratio,
42:06
Speaker 20: low ratio and climate protester the ultimate for.
42:12
Speaker 2: Through there. I think if you go back through the
42:16
Speaker 2: old Mad Max movies, you'll find a few prototypes that
42:19
Speaker 2: might be quite useful.
42:21
Speaker 5: Hey.
42:22
Speaker 2: The thing is that some of us. Some people might
42:26
Speaker 2: find comforting at a time like this, when we're facing
42:28
Speaker 2: a cost of living crisis and a housing crisis. Some
42:32
Speaker 2: people are comforted by the fact that we have labor
42:35
Speaker 2: governments in place, because they are, of course the party
42:38
Speaker 2: of the workers, the party of the working families, and
42:41
Speaker 2: they understand the tribulations of family life and how tough
42:46
Speaker 2: it is to get ahead. And you have a housing
42:48
Speaker 2: minister in the New South Wales by the name of
42:51
Speaker 2: Rose Jackson, and she reckons that housing is not really
42:54
Speaker 2: a problem. A couple of hundred bucks will sort you out.
42:56
Speaker 2: Have a listen, what do.
42:58
Speaker 3: You reckon is a reasonable price to pay in rent
43:01
Speaker 3: for a two bedroom flat in Sydney?
43:04
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, I mean it kind of depends where in Sydney.
43:08
Speaker 2: I mean Sydney's a big city.
43:11
Speaker 18: You know, I mean a couple one hundred bucks, right, Like.
43:15
Speaker 3: Where can you get a two bedroom flat for a
43:16
Speaker 3: couple of hundred bucks? Well a week, I don't know.
43:19
Speaker 18: There are places in Sydney you can.
43:20
Speaker 8: I mean, you know, is like there's.
43:23
Speaker 15: A two bedroom flat and there's a two bedroom flat,
43:25
Speaker 15: Like not all flats are the same.
43:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a phrase for this. It's called out of touch,
43:31
Speaker 2: isn't it? Tim? And your paper, The Daily Telegraph did
43:34
Speaker 2: a great job on this thing. They went to real
43:35
Speaker 2: estate dot com and for two hundred bucks a week
43:38
Speaker 2: or I could rustle up with some car parks.
43:41
Speaker 20: It's a it's a fact about left wing politicians the
43:44
Speaker 20: world over. None of them know anything about the price
43:47
Speaker 20: of anything. During the US election, we had one point
43:51
Speaker 20: a major TV host on one of the morning shows
43:55
Speaker 20: was talking about, you know, sure the price of living's
43:57
Speaker 20: getting a bit tough.
43:58
Speaker 1: Sure there's three.
43:59
Speaker 20: Dollars butter, three dollars buttons, Yeah, whatever, And then one
44:02
Speaker 20: of his coms pointed out, no, it's seven dollars seven dollars,
44:06
Speaker 20: so it's only out by more than hundred percent. And
44:08
Speaker 20: this is what we've got. What politician in Sydney thinks
44:12
Speaker 20: that there are affordable houses. It's incredible. Just how does
44:16
Speaker 20: anyone adopt that attitude or come to that conclusion. It
44:20
Speaker 20: doesn't make any sense to It's wild.
44:22
Speaker 2: It's just extraordinary. She's so far out. I mean, you
44:25
Speaker 2: might get a two bedroom flat and not a very
44:27
Speaker 2: good one for four hundred bucks for some double the
44:30
Speaker 2: cost and Mark what makes me laugh about the politicians
44:34
Speaker 2: so many of them have additional residences. So many of
44:37
Speaker 2: them they own investment properties and rent them out. I'll
44:41
Speaker 2: tell you what, they're not renting them out at two
44:43
Speaker 2: hundred bucks a week.
44:46
Speaker 3: Definitely not made. Definitely not. And I'm going on to Sydney tomorrow.
44:49
Speaker 3: I can't find a hotel for the night for less
44:51
Speaker 3: than for two hundred bucks. I'd be stoked if I
44:53
Speaker 3: could snap one up for that for the night. Like,
44:55
Speaker 3: there's no way. I don't think I could sleep under
44:57
Speaker 3: the bridge for two hundred bucks in Sydney. It's a
45:00
Speaker 3: very expensive city. But I don't like these, you know,
45:03
Speaker 3: gotcha questions with politicians a lot of the time, you know,
45:05
Speaker 3: when people asking what's the price of milk and like that,
45:07
Speaker 3: they pretend that they even drink milk. But this is
45:10
Speaker 3: her portfolio. She should know this straight away. Whatever the
45:14
Speaker 3: average is, what the mean is, she should be totally
45:16
Speaker 3: across it. But you could hear them, you could hear
45:19
Speaker 3: the amount of whites in her eyes. So she was
45:21
Speaker 3: wide eyed answering that question on the radio's I love it.
45:25
Speaker 2: But she is the housing minister, and she is a
45:27
Speaker 2: labor housing minister, and yeah, her whole time was it's
45:30
Speaker 2: not a problem. Shouldn't she understand this is the big problem.
45:34
Speaker 2: It's the cost of rental properties is the big problem.
45:37
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the lefties leaving Twitter. They owned it
45:42
Speaker 2: as their own sort of five them for so long.
45:45
Speaker 2: Now it's X and they don't know elong musks, so
45:48
Speaker 2: they're bailing out of it. Here's us lefty, don Lemon.
45:52
Speaker 9: Hi, everyone, I have loved connecting with all of you
45:56
Speaker 9: on Twitter and then on X for all of these years, but.
45:59
Speaker 1: It's time for me to leave the platform.
46:01
Speaker 9: I once believed that it was a place for honest
46:04
Speaker 9: debate and discussion, transparency and.
46:06
Speaker 1: Free speech, but I now feel it does not serve
46:09
Speaker 1: that purpose.
46:11
Speaker 2: It's all changed. Apparently, Tim and The Guardian, which apparently
46:15
Speaker 2: used to run a whole heap of Twitter accounts, they're
46:18
Speaker 2: bailing out as well. What's driving them? Do you think.
46:23
Speaker 20: They can't survive in an open market. It's the same
46:25
Speaker 20: thing with the Guardian as a as a as a publication.
46:28
Speaker 20: If it didn't have a gigantic fund behind it, it's
46:31
Speaker 20: sort of you know, a big, you know, daddy fund
46:34
Speaker 20: running it along, it wouldn't be existing. But in terms
46:37
Speaker 20: of people leaving Twitter, back when Twitter was under left
46:40
Speaker 20: wing control, right wingers didn't have a choice about staying
46:43
Speaker 20: or going. A lot of them have just got forced off.
46:47
Speaker 20: At least the lefties have a choice about it. They
46:49
Speaker 20: can stay as long as they want. No one's throwing
46:50
Speaker 20: them away. But they're they're putting their hand up and
46:53
Speaker 20: they're volunteering to depart, which is also sad.
46:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that just does my head in when they
46:58
Speaker 2: complain about how it's a toxic environment. Were they not
47:02
Speaker 2: there five years ago? I used to be on Twitter.
47:04
Speaker 2: I mean, just the fact that I exist in a
47:07
Speaker 2: non left stream left wing environment meant that you're just
47:11
Speaker 2: it's just open slather, Mark.
47:12
Speaker 3: I mean, I remember when I was growing up, it
47:17
Speaker 3: was the left who were the ones out there building
47:20
Speaker 3: the pillar of free speech. They were the ones that
47:22
Speaker 3: that that told the conservatives that they needed free speech
47:25
Speaker 3: and whatever. And they seem to just be backtracking completely.
47:28
Speaker 3: My here, it's one hundred percent community notes. It's community notes.
47:31
Speaker 2: They don't like it.
47:32
Speaker 3: They don't like that they can't just say anything that
47:34
Speaker 3: they want, that everything they say gets double checked and
47:37
Speaker 3: the way community notes work so well. Whereas if two
47:39
Speaker 3: people of opposing ideologies or normally disagree agree on something,
47:44
Speaker 3: it gets put up as a community note.
47:46
Speaker 8: It's brilliant.
47:46
Speaker 3: The answer to bad speech is just more speech. I
47:49
Speaker 3: think it's fantastic. So good written is the Guardian? Good riddens.
47:52
Speaker 3: Don lemon, everyone else that's leaving Twitter. I'm not on
47:54
Speaker 3: social media. I might jump on. I might jump on.
47:56
Speaker 2: There be my way back. Who of us know will
48:00
Speaker 2: quietly follow you? That would be good fun. I just
48:04
Speaker 2: want to get your thoughts. Also, on the pictures we
48:07
Speaker 2: showed earlier, we might better whack him up again. But
48:10
Speaker 2: Donald Trump and Joe Biden both very happy and comfortable,
48:14
Speaker 2: comfortable and relaxed sitting in front of the fire in
48:17
Speaker 2: the Oval office tim and you got to think they
48:20
Speaker 2: might have both had a bit of a joke about
48:22
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris and how she seems to not have been
48:25
Speaker 2: up to the fight.
48:27
Speaker 20: Well, we did hear a lot of during the election
48:29
Speaker 20: campaign about the possibility of you know, the shy, the
48:33
Speaker 20: shy Trump voter, the Trump voter who wouldn't put his
48:36
Speaker 20: hand up and show that Joe that really he was
48:39
Speaker 20: backing the Donald. And I think we found one of
48:41
Speaker 20: those shy Trump voters. You've never seen us like, you know,
48:49
Speaker 20: given that he's had so much plastic surgery over the years,
48:51
Speaker 20: it's pretty hard for him to smile anyway. But he's
48:53
Speaker 20: got a grin that would beat Luna Park. At the moment,
48:55
Speaker 20: he's looking at mellim pars Fella, relaxed friendly Donald.
49:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, the only guy who ever beat whoever beat Donald.
49:06
Speaker 2: He reckons he's going to take that to his grave.
49:08
Speaker 2: Great stuff. Guys, catch up with you next week, Mark
49:11
Speaker 2: Nicholson and Tim Blair. They're wrapping up the week. I
49:14
Speaker 2: just want to share some of your feedback from what
49:16
Speaker 2: I had to say last night about the ABC's Trump
49:18
Speaker 2: derangement syndrome. One Vio s says, as an Aussie of
49:21
Speaker 2: common sense, the ABC is embarrassing and an affront. Another
49:26
Speaker 2: viewer says, if only we had Trump in Australia, he'd
49:28
Speaker 2: defund the ABC on his first day. And another viewer
49:33
Speaker 2: says the ABC is so extreme left that it's ridiculous.
49:35
Speaker 2: I cringe every time they see one of their reports,
49:38
Speaker 2: especially the woman who does seven thirty. The last few
49:40
Speaker 2: days they've been catastrophizing about all the bad things that
49:44
Speaker 2: will happen and he hasn't even stepped into the White
49:47
Speaker 2: House officially give the guy a chance. I'm so over it. Yes, indeed,
49:51
Speaker 2: that was the point we're trying to make. I'm glad
49:53
Speaker 2: you agreed. I'll catch up with you next week. Is no,
49:56
Speaker 2: we're going to have a commercial break next and then
49:58
Speaker 2: after that, Caleb Bond filling in for Peter Kreblin. I'll
50:01
Speaker 2: see you next week.
50:02
Speaker 17: M h
50:04
Speaker 5: M hmm.
