- 0:00Speaker 1: Late General Man, welcome the Late to.
- 0:04Speaker 2: Play well good evening.
- 0:08Speaker 3: I'm James Macpherson with Liz Storer and Joe Hildebrand.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Coming up.
- 0:11Speaker 3: Left wing media around the world mourning the death of
- 0:14Speaker 3: an Australian penguin. Why you ask, because it was an
- 0:17Speaker 3: openly gay penguin. Apparently we'll talk about that later. Plus
- 0:21Speaker 3: when we get to the papers, Australia to begin manufacturing
- 0:24Speaker 3: missiles in Newcastle, and an indigenous rights campaigner claims that
- 0:30Speaker 3: aboriginal sites should be considered every bit as sacred as Gallipoli.
- 0:34Speaker 3: All of that in tomorrow's papers. Will look at that shortly.
- 0:37Speaker 3: But first, Western governments, in their bid to reduce emissions,
- 0:42Speaker 3: have set goals around how many evs they would like
- 0:45Speaker 3: people to purchase by twenty thirty. Here in Australia, Chris
- 0:49Speaker 3: Bowen said he wanted eighty nine percent of all new
- 0:52Speaker 3: cars sales to be electric by the end of the decade.
- 0:55Speaker 3: The problem, of course, is that most people don't want
- 0:58Speaker 3: to drive what Chris Bowen wants us to drive, and
- 1:01Speaker 3: so he had to hastily back away from that figure
- 1:04Speaker 3: when a government report revealed the sales were on track
- 1:07Speaker 3: to be less than a third of what Chris Bowen
- 1:10Speaker 3: had hoped for. As a consequence, we've now got a
- 1:13Speaker 3: glut of unwanted Tesla's stockpiling in Australian ports.
- 1:18Speaker 4: Two thousand Teslas arrive here at Port Melbourne every month,
- 1:23Speaker 4: but there's no buyers to take them home.
- 1:26Speaker 5: All of a sudden, we've got a huge, a huge
- 1:29Speaker 5: backlog of Tesla's that aren't moving. They've just stopped moving.
- 1:33Speaker 5: Tesla's used to come into this country pre sold, these
- 1:36Speaker 5: cars aren't. They're sitting here waiting for buyers.
- 1:40Speaker 2: Now.
- 1:40Speaker 3: America is another country that set goals for how many
- 1:43Speaker 3: electric vehicles they would like, and the Ford Motor Company
- 1:46Speaker 3: were all on board with Joe Biden's plans until they
- 1:50Speaker 3: realized no one that was buying there either, and so
- 1:53Speaker 3: they've now scrapped plans for a much anticipated electric suv.
- 1:58Speaker 3: Talking to The Australian, the Ford's chief financial officer, John
- 2:02Speaker 3: Lawler said, based on where the market is and where
- 2:05Speaker 3: the customer is, we will pivot and adjust and make
- 2:08Speaker 3: those tough decisions, which is a nice way of saying
- 2:11Speaker 3: we've given up on the government's goals. Interestingly enough, the
- 2:14Speaker 3: article goes on to say that Ford shares rows one
- 2:18Speaker 3: point five percent in response to the announcement they weren't
- 2:22Speaker 3: going to produce the electric suv.
- 2:24Speaker 2: And maybe the next part of the.
- 2:26Speaker 3: Article gives us a clue as to why get this.
- 2:29Speaker 3: Ford has said its EV business is on pace to
- 2:33Speaker 3: lose about five billion dollars this year. In the three
- 2:36Speaker 3: month period ended in June, the automaker lost about forty
- 2:40Speaker 3: four thousand dollars on every electric vehicle that it sold. Liz,
- 2:46Speaker 3: isn't this just proof that the government are terrible when
- 2:49Speaker 3: it comes to picking winners and losers. Socialism has proved
- 2:53Speaker 3: to us you shouldn't let the government dictate what people
- 2:56Speaker 3: have to buy.
- 2:57Speaker 6: Are you coming around?
- 2:58Speaker 4: Are you starting to say don't trust the government?
- 3:01Speaker 6: Am I rubbing off on you?
- 3:03Speaker 3: I mean I switched and change depending on the top.
- 3:05Speaker 4: Of These numbers are not surprising, but it's been this
- 3:10Speaker 4: way for a very long time. July, since July last year,
- 3:14Speaker 4: the stats showed July this year hybrids are up sales
- 3:18Speaker 4: in Australia by over eighty eight percent. Over the same
- 3:23Speaker 4: time period, They're only up six point six percent if
- 3:27Speaker 4: we're talking about evs, and yet that didn't stop Chris
- 3:30Speaker 4: Bowen coming out earlier this month and saying we're doubling
- 3:34Speaker 4: our funding to the driving the Nation's scheme up from
- 3:38Speaker 4: two hundred and twenty five million to No, actually it
- 3:43Speaker 4: was they've doubled it from two fifty million to five
- 3:46Speaker 4: hundred million, because he's like, well, if we just build
- 3:49Speaker 4: the infrastructure, if you build.
- 3:51Speaker 6: It, they will come.
- 3:52Speaker 4: But the market has consistently said quite some time now
- 3:57Speaker 4: the people simply aren't buying evs.
- 4:00Speaker 6: They're not buying evs. They're not desirable cars.
- 4:03Speaker 4: For whatever reasons, whether they're too expensive, whether the infras
- 4:07Speaker 4: structures not in place, whether they're reliable or not.
- 4:11Speaker 6: I mean, how many funny.
- 4:12Speaker 4: Stories have we been told about people just being stranded.
- 4:16Speaker 6: Because there's not charging there's not charging us.
- 4:18Speaker 3: Well, I think Chris Bowen's board an EV either isn't
- 4:20Speaker 3: it a taxpayer funded one that he's driving.
- 4:22Speaker 4: Oh well, it's still an EV we just had to
- 4:25Speaker 4: pay for it.
- 4:26Speaker 6: So he's a man of conviction.
- 4:28Speaker 4: No, But regardless of which angle that you look at it,
- 4:32Speaker 4: the government's plans simply aren't viable. And in fact, if
- 4:36Speaker 4: you trace this back to when they first were looking
- 4:39Speaker 4: at this policy pre election, it wasn't viable then it
- 4:43Speaker 4: was always pie in the sky stuff. And yet the
- 4:45Speaker 4: Aussie taxpayer is still trying to build what looks like
- 4:50Speaker 4: even if they did build, it would be completely useless
- 4:53Speaker 4: because the market says, no.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's true. Just the Soviet Union, I think that.
- 5:03Speaker 1: I mean, the story here is one of ideology over pragmatism.
- 5:08Speaker 1: And this is and when I was running the series
- 5:11Speaker 1: for News, the Mission Zero series for News, this was
- 5:13Speaker 1: something I came up against again and again and again,
- 5:16Speaker 1: which is people saying, no, it has to be all electric,
- 5:19Speaker 1: it has to be one hundred percent renewable, or we're not.
- 5:22Speaker 1: We don't want any of it. And it was the
- 5:23Speaker 1: most insanely frustrating time and my life, apart from maybe
- 5:29Speaker 1: the Voice campaign, but that's another story. I'm still recovering
- 5:31Speaker 1: from that. But we just had these people who were
- 5:35Speaker 1: just just stubbornly banging their heads against the wall, acting
- 5:39Speaker 1: completely contrary to their own best interests, in acting completely
- 5:42Speaker 1: contrary to the country's best interest. And so you saw
- 5:45Speaker 1: it firstly with gas. So they said, okay, we can't
- 5:48Speaker 1: have any gas because even though and they would lie
- 5:50Speaker 1: about this and say gas is just as bad as call.
- 5:52Speaker 1: That is an absolute lie and demonstrably false. But anyway
- 5:54Speaker 1: that would say, oh, no, gas is just as bad
- 5:56Speaker 1: as call. We can't have gas or call. Anything that
- 5:58Speaker 1: produces any CO two is evil as bad. We can't
- 6:00Speaker 1: have that. It has to be all renewables. So as
- 6:02Speaker 1: a result, what happened, well, gas was written out of
- 6:05Speaker 1: the mix while we were waiting for coal to come down,
- 6:08Speaker 1: and it had to be all renewables. But of course
- 6:09Speaker 1: when the Sunday and shine and when didn't blow, we
- 6:12Speaker 1: had to rely on that pre existing base load power.
- 6:15Speaker 1: And what was it powered by? Not gas but by coal,
- 6:17Speaker 1: which is almost fifty one hundred percent worse than gas.
- 6:21Speaker 1: So as a result of this perfection or nothing, it's perfect,
- 6:25Speaker 1: not good policy, it actually produced more emissions, more emissions.
- 6:30Speaker 1: And again we've got the thing where they don't want
- 6:31Speaker 1: to entertain hybrids because of course hybrids do still produce
- 6:34Speaker 1: some emissions. And the number one reason I can guarantee
- 6:37Speaker 1: you that people don't buy evs it's range anxiety, which
- 6:42Speaker 1: is something I used to suffer from in my youth.
- 6:44Speaker 1: But you get a pill and you can I perform
- 6:46Speaker 1: just fine now, But it is it is the fear that.
- 6:48Speaker 1: And again it's not as big a problem in Europe obviously,
- 6:51Speaker 1: because you know there is no outback in Europe, but
- 6:53Speaker 1: you know, you know you can. There are stories of
- 6:56Speaker 1: people doing the city in the Bevelburn drug there's just
- 6:57Speaker 1: absolute horror shows an electric vehicle. So you know if
- 7:00Speaker 1: you're in a hybrid that even if the electric motor
- 7:03Speaker 1: completely packs up, at least you've still got that back up.
- 7:05Speaker 1: And of course even if you're in the middle of nowhere,
- 7:07Speaker 1: you can always stop at a petrol station and you
- 7:09Speaker 1: know you can get from point A to point B.
- 7:11Speaker 1: If you don't, if you don't have absolute confidence that
- 7:14Speaker 1: you can get from point A to point B, you
- 7:16Speaker 1: will not buy that Carques no way.
- 7:19Speaker 3: My question is how on earth can the Ford Motor
- 7:21Speaker 3: Company sustain a five billion dollar a year loss on
- 7:25Speaker 3: their electric creditor vehicle.
- 7:26Speaker 1: It just gives you an idea of how huge this
- 7:28Speaker 1: company is and how Yes.
- 7:29Speaker 3: But it must be sustained by the sale of internal
- 7:32Speaker 3: combustion engine vehicles. That's what would be propping it all up.
- 7:35Speaker 3: So one is paying for the other.
- 7:38Speaker 4: Yeah, until the board meets and they're like, actually, we're
- 7:40Speaker 4: pulling the plug.
- 7:41Speaker 6: This simply isn't financially viable to.
- 7:44Speaker 4: North Carolina now, where Trump has done his first outdoor
- 7:47Speaker 4: rally since the assassination attempt on his life. But this
- 7:52Speaker 4: time he's got a perspex enclosure, which of course is
- 7:57Speaker 4: bullet proof. Does this mean that the shooter, any shooter
- 8:02Speaker 4: or hopeful shooter, would just have to come from behind
- 8:05Speaker 4: because you're not.
- 8:06Speaker 3: There's nothing, it's the only place they could come from.
- 8:09Speaker 2: It's on three sides.
- 8:10Speaker 4: Or you could just wait until drump leaves the enclosure,
- 8:14Speaker 4: as he did, therefore kind of defeating the whole point
- 8:18Speaker 4: of the process, and I'm sure curling his secret service
- 8:21Speaker 4: as his hair in the process. But he wanted to
- 8:24Speaker 4: go check on a lady who had passed out from
- 8:27Speaker 4: the heat in the crowd.
- 8:28Speaker 7: Take a look, Ah.
- 8:54Speaker 4: The man will know and love, especially Joe. Joe absolutely
- 8:59Speaker 4: loves Donald.
- 9:00Speaker 1: It was amazing. I didn't know he was a faith healer.
- 9:01Speaker 1: That's incredible. Like Jesus, image is just growing, but it
- 9:08Speaker 1: is brilliant optics is my first thought when I realized
- 9:11Speaker 1: that Donald Trump was doing his first outdoor rally behind
- 9:14Speaker 1: the perspects the bulletproof glass. I thought it's not great
- 9:17Speaker 1: for his image. I know, yes, it means he's less
- 9:20Speaker 1: likely to be shot and killed, and so I get
- 9:21Speaker 1: the reasoning. But Trump is, of course the man who's fearless,
- 9:24Speaker 1: the man who fears no bullet, who no bullet can fall.
- 9:27Speaker 1: And then he's behind this glass and so you can
- 9:28Speaker 1: guarantee that while I'm sure, you know he holds a
- 9:32Speaker 1: medical degree from you know, Harvard University, and while I'm
- 9:36Speaker 1: sure he can heal people with his hands, the reason
- 9:38Speaker 1: why he would have gone out there was just to
- 9:40Speaker 1: show that he wasn't afraid, it wasn't loud, and that
- 9:43Speaker 1: he's still, you know, the man of the people, who
- 9:45Speaker 1: moves among the people no perspects class is going to
- 9:48Speaker 1: keep between men. Think, although it is very COVID safe.
- 9:50Speaker 3: I don't think Trump is afraid of a shooter. I
- 9:52Speaker 3: think Trump is afraid of the Secret Service because that
- 9:55Speaker 3: glass enclosure is an admission by the Secret Service. We
- 9:59Speaker 3: can't keep you safe, so we better surround you with
- 10:02Speaker 3: bulletproof glass.
- 10:03Speaker 2: But people love Trump for that.
- 10:05Speaker 3: The fact that he went out from that went down
- 10:08Speaker 3: to the crowd, especially when at the same time at
- 10:10Speaker 3: the DNC, all they've talked about is Trump, and one
- 10:13Speaker 3: of the things they keep claiming is that Trump is
- 10:15Speaker 3: self serving.
- 10:16Speaker 2: All he cares about is himself.
- 10:18Speaker 3: Well, the best way to knock that on the head
- 10:20Speaker 3: is to walk out from behind the bulletproof enclosure down
- 10:23Speaker 3: into the crowd, to mingle with people risking your life
- 10:27Speaker 3: speaking of the DNC and speaking of the DNC.
- 10:30Speaker 2: Speaking of Trump, Trump knows where that's at. And have
- 10:32Speaker 2: to listen to what he said.
- 10:35Speaker 1: That charade that they have going on.
- 10:37Speaker 8: They mentioned my name I think two hundred and seventy
- 10:40Speaker 8: one times. They mentioned the economy, like twelve times. They
- 10:44Speaker 8: mentioned the border.
- 10:45Speaker 1: Maybe none.
- 10:46Speaker 7: They don't talk about the border.
- 10:48Speaker 8: Our Great Borders doesn't talk about the border. But they
- 10:51Speaker 8: mentioned me more than any other category.
- 10:53Speaker 2: I'm now a category.
- 10:54Speaker 7: They had me down today as a category.
- 10:57Speaker 6: That's all they talk about Trump. We've driven them crazy.
- 11:00Speaker 8: They have Trump derangement syndrome.
- 11:03Speaker 3: Lizz, He's not wrong. I've watched a bit of the DNC.
- 11:06Speaker 3: I know you've watched a lot of the DNC. Very
- 11:08Speaker 3: much of the d spare Joe and either Trouble and
- 11:11Speaker 3: I mean Donald Trump has been the number one thing
- 11:13Speaker 3: they've spoken.
- 11:14Speaker 4: About one I mean, they barely make sense, like you
- 11:18Speaker 4: watch these speeches It's the most low IQ conference of
- 11:23Speaker 4: any description I've ever watched in my entire life.
- 11:26Speaker 6: They're all talking, but they're not saying anything.
- 11:30Speaker 4: Half the time they pause, the crowd is waring, clapping maniacally,
- 11:37Speaker 4: and you're just like, what did.
- 11:38Speaker 6: You even say? What does that even mean?
- 11:41Speaker 4: And they have talked about him obsessively.
- 11:45Speaker 6: And the funny thing is.
- 11:47Speaker 7: Clearly it doesn't occur to any of the.
- 11:49Speaker 4: Attendees there that the Democrats have been in control of
- 11:53Speaker 4: the White House for the last out of the last
- 11:56Speaker 4: sixteen years, twelve years, and yet everything is Donald Trump's fault.
- 12:02Speaker 4: Everything is Donald Trump's fault.
- 12:04Speaker 6: How do you explain all of the.
- 12:06Speaker 4: Problems that are going to be solved by the next
- 12:09Speaker 4: administration if you'll just re elect them again when they've
- 12:14Speaker 4: been in power for the last three and a half years.
- 12:17Speaker 4: It's completely nonsensical. I don't know whether they've hired a crowd, but.
- 12:21Speaker 6: These people are just swallowing it all.
- 12:24Speaker 4: It's all about the vibe, it's all about the hype
- 12:27Speaker 4: and literally zero substance. I keep listening for it, I
- 12:31Speaker 4: keep waiting for it. Maybe they're going to roll out
- 12:33Speaker 4: some pollt nothing.
- 12:34Speaker 3: It's one of the funny things about Kamala Harris. She's
- 12:36Speaker 3: at the DNC, you know, and her supporters saying if
- 12:39Speaker 3: she's elected, she's going to do this, She's going to
- 12:41Speaker 3: fix that. It's like, you've been the vice president for
- 12:44Speaker 3: the last four years.
- 12:46Speaker 2: What were you doing?
- 12:47Speaker 3: Oh, that's right, she was working on the border down south.
- 12:50Speaker 3: Donald Trump, however, he's got some ideas about what he
- 12:52Speaker 3: will do if he wins the election, including how he
- 12:56Speaker 3: will dewoke the military have listened to what he says.
- 13:00Speaker 8: Do you want to have a sex change or a
- 13:02Speaker 8: social justice seminar, then you can do it somewhere else,
- 13:05Speaker 8: but you're not going to do it in the Army, Navy.
- 13:07Speaker 1: Coastcote now for space for US.
- 13:10Speaker 8: Or the United States Marines.
- 13:11Speaker 1: So I love that there's space for us. I just
- 13:15Speaker 1: love that there's space for it. It's really I know,
- 13:18Speaker 1: it's an absolutely thing. The interesting thing with the constant
- 13:22Speaker 1: mentions of Trump is that it is a sign with
- 13:25Speaker 1: a sign of a couple of things. Usually at this
- 13:27Speaker 1: sort of tactic that an opposition would lose use against
- 13:30Speaker 1: a government. So don't look at us, just look at
- 13:32Speaker 1: that government that you hate. Look at that thing. So
- 13:35Speaker 1: they're almost acknowledging psychologically that this is actually Trump's election
- 13:40Speaker 1: to lose. I actually think now it's Karmala's election to lose,
- 13:42Speaker 1: but that's another story. But that he's obviously so in
- 13:45Speaker 1: their heads that they have to make it all about
- 13:47Speaker 1: how bad he is, because of course they can't make
- 13:50Speaker 1: it all about how good Karmala is. So it is
- 13:52Speaker 1: literally they're trying the same thing that Joe Biden did
- 13:54Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, which is, we don't want you to
- 13:57Speaker 1: vote for Joe Biden. We just want you to vote
- 13:59Speaker 1: against Donald Trump. And so you have all these people
- 14:02Speaker 1: right from you know, Bernie Sanders Socialists to Mitt Romney Republicans,
- 14:06Speaker 1: this massive political spectrum that literally includes every single person,
- 14:10Speaker 1: every single cause, every single place on the spectrum except
- 14:13Speaker 1: Donald Trump. And that's the coalition that they need to
- 14:16Speaker 1: beat him, and that is what they're going for again.
- 14:18Speaker 1: And it's kind of like what not that you know,
- 14:20Speaker 1: Anthony Aberneze isn't the best Prime minister in Australia but
- 14:25Speaker 1: certainly currently. But it's also what Labor I think, and
- 14:29Speaker 1: is a misstep by Labor to try and just attack
- 14:32Speaker 1: Peter Dutton and attack Peter Dutton and make him the bow,
- 14:34Speaker 1: you man, and try and just eat by him. And
- 14:37Speaker 1: sometimes it works, but most of the time it only
- 14:41Speaker 1: works if everyone really hates the guy as much as
- 14:43Speaker 1: you hate him, and that kind of you know, in
- 14:46Speaker 1: twenty twenty two against Scott Morrison, that actually work, and
- 14:49Speaker 1: so Scott Morrison loses the election without Labor really winning it.
- 14:53Speaker 1: And so at the point being, if they are attacking
- 14:56Speaker 1: Donald Trump this much, it is basically an admission that
- 14:59Speaker 1: they their own candidate is pretty weak.
- 15:03Speaker 2: I think there's no doubt about it.
- 15:04Speaker 1: Who has any doubt about that? Just said that about
- 15:08Speaker 1: all about.
- 15:08Speaker 6: The other guy.
- 15:09Speaker 3: Yeah, let's talk about the d n C. It was
- 15:12Speaker 3: day what three overnight show you a few of the
- 15:17Speaker 3: things that happened. But let's start with Oprah Winfrey. She
- 15:19Speaker 3: was a surprise guest at the d n C Star Speaker.
- 15:23Speaker 3: She didn't say much, as Liz said, she talked long
- 15:26Speaker 3: without saying much, and then she weirdly broke into song.
- 15:30Speaker 6: Let us choose truth, let us choose honor, and let
- 15:36Speaker 6: us choose joy together, Let's all choose come all her.
- 15:52Speaker 3: Liz I got to say how much preferred Oprah Winfrey
- 15:54Speaker 3: when she was giving away cause, but what on earth
- 15:58Speaker 3: is joy?
- 15:59Speaker 6: I'm saying.
- 16:01Speaker 4: So, this seems to be a new thing that they've coined,
- 16:04Speaker 4: because when Bill Clinton got up to speak today, seriously,
- 16:08Speaker 4: someone send me something to rejuvenate my soul, because this
- 16:13Speaker 4: was seriously depressing.
- 16:15Speaker 6: Day three.
- 16:15Speaker 4: Anyway, they get Bill Clinton out and this was one
- 16:20Speaker 4: of the first times I've heard it us but he
- 16:22Speaker 4: referred to her as the president of Joy. Yeah, because
- 16:26Speaker 4: she ain't the president of marce else except for all these.
- 16:29Speaker 6: Hyped up vibes and don't we love her laugh? And
- 16:32Speaker 6: so I think that is something that they're.
- 16:34Speaker 4: Running with, maybe again trying to point out the difference between.
- 16:38Speaker 6: Her and Trump.
- 16:39Speaker 4: Trump being this gruff guy you don't often see, thinks
- 16:42Speaker 4: Trump laughing.
- 16:43Speaker 2: You had the nail on the head.
- 16:44Speaker 3: Her cackle, which has been a subject of great ridicule
- 16:47Speaker 3: for the last couple of years. They've turned that into no, no,
- 16:51Speaker 3: it's not an embarrassing cackle.
- 16:53Speaker 2: It's joy.
- 16:54Speaker 4: And the previous day when her husband got up to
- 16:56Speaker 4: speak and told their get together story again, nothing about policy,
- 17:01Speaker 4: nothing about running the government, why she should be the
- 17:04Speaker 4: next president of the United States of America.
- 17:06Speaker 6: No, it was just all.
- 17:07Speaker 4: About this lovely, heartwarming fearly story about how they got together,
- 17:12Speaker 4: and he made a point of saying how much he
- 17:14Speaker 4: loved her laugh and how that was one of the
- 17:17Speaker 4: first things that appealed to him and made him really
- 17:19Speaker 4: sweet on her. I would love to see you find
- 17:22Speaker 4: that many people to agree. But of course this entire
- 17:25Speaker 4: conference is just the vibe. So everyone's just like togetherness
- 17:30Speaker 4: and niceness and awesomeness like I did it.
- 17:35Speaker 2: Joe Biden was like, it's like.
- 17:37Speaker 3: All joy in the angry old man and yelling and sneering,
- 17:41Speaker 3: and yet.
- 17:41Speaker 4: At the same time trying to convince everyone. They said,
- 17:44Speaker 4: I'm angry at everyone for making me step down, but.
- 17:47Speaker 1: I'm not angry.
- 17:49Speaker 2: We're all like, yeah, okay, it is amazing.
- 17:53Speaker 1: And you're absolutely right. They are going with the vibe
- 17:55Speaker 1: because there is no kind of cogent, intellectual or policy
- 17:58Speaker 1: argument for cul I mean that the policy argument is
- 18:01Speaker 1: where people right now. And the problem these lunkheads mate,
- 18:06Speaker 1: these people who just get stars in their eyes anytime
- 18:09Speaker 1: they see a Democrat and open one of them, is
- 18:12Speaker 1: that no normal person feels joy for politicians. No normal
- 18:16Speaker 1: person feels euphoria because someone is a presidential candidate or
- 18:21Speaker 1: someone is their local MP and they certainly don't feel
- 18:23Speaker 1: it in the middle of a cost of living crisis.
- 18:25Speaker 1: So the idea like the optics of Oprah a multi
- 18:30Speaker 1: multi millionaire. In fact, I think a billionaire possibly getting
- 18:34Speaker 1: up and saying, you should feel happy for Karmala. You
- 18:37Speaker 1: should feel joy and happiness and love for Kamala Harris
- 18:41Speaker 1: because you just should. Is exactly what Hillary Clinton did
- 18:43Speaker 1: when it was with I'm with her. You know, you
- 18:45Speaker 1: should vote for Hillary Clinton so that she can smash
- 18:48Speaker 1: the glass ceiling and fulfill her lifelong dream to become
- 18:51Speaker 1: the first female president of the United States. And people
- 18:53Speaker 1: are like, I'm busting my nut here, I'm busting my guts.
- 18:57Speaker 1: You know, they've just shut my car family, you know,
- 18:59Speaker 1: the just to shut my car factory and moves it
- 19:01Speaker 1: to Mexico. You know, Trump's out there at the rallies.
- 19:04Speaker 1: You know Hillary, where was she? She was hanging out
- 19:06Speaker 1: with Beyonce. Now you've got Kamala hanging out with Oprah.
- 19:08Speaker 1: This is a terrible look. Like whoever is saying this
- 19:11Speaker 1: is a good idea of making the exact same misact,
- 19:14Speaker 1: I still don't know if it's going to hurt that much,
- 19:16Speaker 1: but it is just nuts. But one person I did
- 19:19Speaker 1: love at the DNC was this next guy is Bexa
- 19:25Speaker 1: County Sheriff Haabier Satasah.
- 19:28Speaker 6: Satis for the NAMA line.
- 19:29Speaker 1: It's fantastic. But just you think he sounds good, wait
- 19:33Speaker 1: till you see him.
- 19:34Speaker 9: When Donald Trump comes down to Texas, stands next to
- 19:38Speaker 9: officers and uniforms just like mine. He's not there to
- 19:41Speaker 9: help us. Don't think that, not for a second. He
- 19:44Speaker 9: is a self serving man. I mean, look like, just
- 19:53Speaker 9: like when he killed the border bill, he just made
- 19:56Speaker 9: our jobs harder.
- 19:59Speaker 5: Now.
- 19:59Speaker 9: Karmala, on the other hen has been fighting border crime
- 20:02Speaker 9: for years. She's gone down to Mexico and work to
- 20:07Speaker 9: stop the traffickers. And when the traffickers didn't stop, she
- 20:11Speaker 9: put them in jail.
- 20:13Speaker 1: Now in Texas, that is what they call your dress hat.
- 20:19Speaker 1: You don't wear it for ropen steers. You wear that.
- 20:22Speaker 1: That's you. That's your night hat, that's your evening wear hat.
- 20:25Speaker 1: You wear it out. It's fancy, it's prestige.
- 20:27Speaker 3: I think in Texas they called that big hat no cattle.
- 20:30Speaker 1: Don't they all hat?
- 20:31Speaker 3: No no horse is true?
- 20:36Speaker 6: What a blatant lie.
- 20:38Speaker 7: It was the.
- 20:39Speaker 6: Texan governor who actually it.
- 20:42Speaker 4: Got down to the mattresses with the Feds because he said,
- 20:45Speaker 4: if you won't allow us to protect our border and
- 20:48Speaker 4: stop these illegals from coming over, I'm going to take
- 20:51Speaker 4: matters into my own hands. And it was these big
- 20:54Speaker 4: fisticuffs between the Texan governor and the federal government who
- 20:59Speaker 4: kept saying.
- 20:59Speaker 6: No, no, so we're in charge here.
- 21:01Speaker 4: You don't get to take control of your own border,
- 21:03Speaker 4: and the Texan government governor rather, who was saying, well, you're.
- 21:07Speaker 6: Not taking any control of it, so it is left
- 21:10Speaker 6: up to us.
- 21:11Speaker 4: And here's this guy saying, oh, Kambala has been doing
- 21:14Speaker 4: an amazing job.
- 21:16Speaker 6: Trump never did anything. They are out right lies.
- 21:20Speaker 4: There's a few conservative commentators who are literally doing fact checks,
- 21:24Speaker 4: so every day of the DNC they'll watch the whole
- 21:28Speaker 4: thing and then create these fact checks, like it takes hours.
- 21:32Speaker 6: For them to get through it all. But it is
- 21:34Speaker 6: just lie after life.
- 21:37Speaker 1: Almost it's almost not even that because it's so vague
- 21:40Speaker 1: that it's actually difficult to pin down things. So this
- 21:42Speaker 1: guy's obviously been sent out to disable the one issue
- 21:46Speaker 1: they know is most harmful to them, which is illegal
- 21:48Speaker 1: immigration on the southern border. Right, so you know this
- 21:52Speaker 1: is as close as they get to actually talking about
- 21:54Speaker 1: policy and talking about the criticisms of their key immigration policy.
- 22:00Speaker 1: I have this guy out here again wearing the big hat,
- 22:03Speaker 1: trying to look authentic. It doesn't look like a bloke
- 22:04Speaker 1: who's actually standing sentry on the wall, does it. There's
- 22:07Speaker 1: not much, there's not much to East Texas red clay
- 22:09Speaker 1: on him. But he's there anyway. And and but what
- 22:12Speaker 1: does he say? He says, you know, Kamala Harris has
- 22:14Speaker 1: been protecting our border for years, like you can't even
- 22:19Speaker 1: say the number of years.
- 22:20Speaker 3: When the truth is, we know that the Democrats love
- 22:23Speaker 3: illegal migrants, and so Steve Cortez, a commentator, he decided
- 22:27Speaker 3: to grab a Venezuelan illegal migrant and take him along
- 22:31Speaker 3: to the DNC because the Democrats love illegal migrants.
- 22:35Speaker 1: This is Edward from Venezuela migrant invited it by the
- 22:39Speaker 1: Democrat Party. He likes to come into the Democratic Convention. Yeah,
- 22:43Speaker 1: I'm going to have to go to Daxon. Yep, what
- 22:46Speaker 1: you mean? He needs credentials and permission to come in
- 22:49Speaker 1: the wall. It's like a border will away. How you
- 22:52Speaker 1: wanted to get to the convention. We figured that they
- 22:53Speaker 1: would love to have a migan Venezuela.
- 22:56Speaker 7: Come in.
- 22:56Speaker 1: They said me, give me a credacials. So we're here
- 22:57Speaker 1: to get the creditionals as anyone. You don't know, so
- 23:02Speaker 1: you don't think there's a process in an application where
- 23:04Speaker 1: he didn't have that on the boarder. This is Edlin.
- 23:06Speaker 1: He's in Venezuela. He's a migrant.
- 23:08Speaker 6: Democratic Party wants an handlet stream of migrants into America.
- 23:11Speaker 1: So I'd like to go and meet his political friends,
- 23:13Speaker 1: listen to the speeches and coming to the Democratic events
- 23:15Speaker 1: where you're laughing. He's a lot of the United States
- 23:18Speaker 1: without identification of permission. Can he come in to the DNC.
- 23:21Speaker 3: I don't think the figures there's going to go right
- 23:22Speaker 3: now really has forty five seconds been so powerful in
- 23:27Speaker 3: making a point. You can get into America really easy,
- 23:30Speaker 3: but try getting into the DNC.
- 23:32Speaker 2: No chance at all.
- 23:34Speaker 4: All of a sudden, the Democrats aren't so keen on
- 23:36Speaker 4: illegal migrants.
- 23:38Speaker 6: Why can't they come to your big party?
- 23:39Speaker 4: They owe it to you that they're here, Democrats. No
- 23:43Speaker 4: closed doors all round. But one of my most favorite
- 23:46Speaker 4: moments from day three of the DNC was the Commerce
- 23:50Speaker 4: secretary who name's Gina Romando, She's being interviewed here, and
- 23:56Speaker 4: she's asked about what she thinks about the fact that,
- 23:58Speaker 4: according to the gov.
- 24:00Speaker 10: Men's own data, a million of the new jobs that
- 24:05Speaker 10: the Biden Harris administration claimed to have created during their
- 24:09Speaker 10: tenure actually don't exist.
- 24:13Speaker 1: When you hear that, do you potentially think that the
- 24:15Speaker 1: new numbers could be a liability for this campaign? Now,
- 24:18Speaker 1: when I hear that, first of all, I don't believe
- 24:20Speaker 1: it because I've never heard Donald Trump say anything truth.
- 24:24Speaker 8: It is though, from the Bureau of liver I don't
- 24:26Speaker 8: I'm not familiar with that.
- 24:30Speaker 4: So it is not just Donald Trump. It is the
- 24:33Speaker 4: government's own data. I'm not familiar with the bureau.
- 24:37Speaker 2: She's the Commerce secretary. I'm not familiar with the employment numbers.
- 24:42Speaker 2: It's just a lot of joy, just a lot of joy.
- 24:45Speaker 1: One million and one jobs that have disappeared after that performance.
- 24:48Speaker 1: That's absolutely terrible. I don't know about you guys, though,
- 24:50Speaker 1: Whenever I go to the DNC, I like to make
- 24:53Speaker 1: sure I get my right target demographic, because of course,
- 24:57Speaker 1: you know, there's black men for Harras and black women Harris,
- 25:00Speaker 1: white women for Harris, flying purple people leaders for Harris.
- 25:03Speaker 2: So where would you be.
- 25:03Speaker 1: I have three midgets and you know, snow white plus
- 25:06Speaker 1: the guy on a chain somewhere out the back for Harris,
- 25:10Speaker 1: I of course go to what my natural demographic is
- 25:13Speaker 1: where I belong Hotties for Harris.
- 25:16Speaker 11: I was at the Hotties for Harris party last day,
- 25:18Speaker 11: which was the party a bunch of people went to,
- 25:21Speaker 11: and it was like they had like all of these
- 25:23Speaker 11: different sort of things. They had like mini golf where
- 25:26Speaker 11: like you put you like go minigolf through like a.
- 25:29Speaker 6: Ring of tampons and stuff. And then I went through.
- 25:32Speaker 11: Then there was like a gumball machine and I was like, oh,
- 25:37Speaker 11: let me turn the gumball machine and you know, maybe
- 25:38Speaker 11: it's like a ringer say, and it was I have this.
- 25:42Speaker 6: It was plan B.
- 25:45Speaker 1: So I said earlier, this election is Kamala Harris's to lose.
- 25:52Speaker 1: Why are they so desperate to lose it? Like why
- 25:55Speaker 1: it being so weird and just crazy? Like who plays
- 25:58Speaker 1: mini golf with tambons on your side?
- 26:01Speaker 4: These guys have free visectomies and abortions going on in
- 26:04Speaker 4: the car park of the DNC.
- 26:06Speaker 6: You can't get well, I don't even want.
- 26:08Speaker 4: To say weird because that's just outright degenerously.
- 26:11Speaker 3: That's evil as far as I And just in case
- 26:13Speaker 3: people missed it, she got an abortion pill.
- 26:15Speaker 2: That was the award that she's won. The Plan B.
- 26:17Speaker 3: The irony, of course, is that Kamala is the Democrats'
- 26:19Speaker 3: Plan B. Donald Trump has just been on Fox and
- 26:22Speaker 3: Friends warning about what America would look like if Kamala
- 26:26Speaker 3: Harris is elected.
- 26:27Speaker 2: Let's have a listen.
- 26:29Speaker 8: These two people take it over. This country is finished. Well,
- 26:33Speaker 8: he's a Marxist and that's where she's going to be.
- 26:36Speaker 8: Open borders, no drilling. Our country will die.
- 26:41Speaker 2: Well.
- 26:41Speaker 3: I don't think there's much doubt about that, particularly the
- 26:44Speaker 3: open borders. The Democrats have shown no appetite at all
- 26:46Speaker 3: for closing that, and you wouldn't expect anything to change
- 26:49Speaker 3: if the Democrats are reelected. Let's go to another topic
- 26:52Speaker 3: that we've talked about a fair bit lately, and that
- 26:55Speaker 3: is the issue of microplastics being ingested by people. Scientists
- 27:01Speaker 3: around the world are particularly concerned after studies are showing
- 27:05Speaker 3: tiny shards of plastic are increasingly being found in human
- 27:09Speaker 3: organs from lungs, kidneys, reproductive organs, kidneys, and now would
- 27:13Speaker 3: you believe it in people's brains. In fact, it's such
- 27:16Speaker 3: a problem that scientists have told The Guardian it should
- 27:20Speaker 3: be declared a global emergency. The National Institute of Health,
- 27:24Speaker 3: how we already have one of those conducted twenty four
- 27:27Speaker 3: autopsies and found that when they weighed these people's brains,
- 27:33Speaker 3: zero point five percent of the weight of the brain
- 27:36Speaker 3: was actually plastics. They told The Guardian, it's pretty alarming.
- 27:42Speaker 3: There's much more plastic in our brains than I would
- 27:44Speaker 3: ever have imagined or been comfortable with. I don't know
- 27:47Speaker 3: how much more plastic our brain can stuff in without
- 27:50Speaker 3: it causing some problems.
- 27:53Speaker 2: Now.
- 27:54Speaker 3: The last time they did such a study, according to
- 27:56Speaker 3: The Guardian, was in twenty sixteen, and the amount of
- 28:00Speaker 3: plastic in brains was half the amount shown by the
- 28:04Speaker 3: most recent studies, which seems to indicate there's a lot
- 28:07Speaker 3: more plastic in the environment but also being ingested or
- 28:12Speaker 3: infused by human beings. They've done tests lives on animals
- 28:16Speaker 3: and the effect of plastics, which found it causes cancer,
- 28:19Speaker 3: impaired learning, impaired memory, and there's studies, according to the Guardian,
- 28:23Speaker 3: that show that people with Alzheimer's who have died with
- 28:26Speaker 3: Alzheimer's have had ten times the level of microplastics in
- 28:29Speaker 3: their body ten to twenty than those without. So this
- 28:33Speaker 3: is a major problem and it's starting to get real
- 28:35Speaker 3: traction now.
- 28:36Speaker 6: One hundred percent.
- 28:37Speaker 4: And the fact that they found fifty more percent of
- 28:40Speaker 4: fifty percent more microplastics in these brains as opposed to
- 28:45Speaker 4: the brains that they tested just nine years ago in
- 28:47Speaker 4: twenty sixteen, goes to show this is just a compounding problem.
- 28:52Speaker 6: Like pfas, these plastics don't break down.
- 28:55Speaker 4: They don't break down in the environment, they don't break
- 28:57Speaker 4: down in your body.
- 28:58Speaker 6: People are basically I liked it because the easiest way
- 29:01Speaker 6: to understand this is.
- 29:03Speaker 4: You are being microdosed with toxic chemicals on a daily basis.
- 29:08Speaker 6: They're in your tea bags.
- 29:10Speaker 4: They're in those popcorn things that we love to shove
- 29:12Speaker 4: in the microwave and all it out.
- 29:14Speaker 6: Yeah, that bag.
- 29:15Speaker 4: That's how it gets its waxy consistency. That's how it
- 29:18Speaker 4: can heat up so quickly cool down so quickly.
- 29:21Speaker 6: The skin of.
- 29:23Speaker 4: Lighter launching, that's pfas, there's pure Prefas, baby disposable coffee cups,
- 29:28Speaker 4: the non stick cook pairs we use. It is literally
- 29:32Speaker 4: we were talking about this earlier. This week, Sydney Water
- 29:35Speaker 4: has come out and said, oh, there is PFAS in
- 29:37Speaker 4: the water supply.
- 29:37Speaker 6: We told you there.
- 29:38Speaker 4: Wasn't, but turns out we actually finally tested for it
- 29:42Speaker 4: and there is. So there's a reason why I keep
- 29:46Speaker 4: saying this. The US say they spend up to two
- 29:49Speaker 4: hundred and fifty billion dollars every year on the health
- 29:53Speaker 4: side effects of.
- 29:55Speaker 6: P fas in people's bodies.
- 29:58Speaker 4: It's extremely toxic and with our ever growing world, we're
- 30:02Speaker 4: just using more and more pfacts. Earlier generations did not
- 30:06Speaker 4: have this problem. And now instead of governments cracking down
- 30:10Speaker 4: on all the companies who are using these very liberally
- 30:14Speaker 4: in products.
- 30:14Speaker 6: They don't need two. I mean, it's the twenty first century.
- 30:17Speaker 6: You meaning to tell me you don't know.
- 30:18Speaker 4: How to make a tea bag without toxic chemicals in it.
- 30:22Speaker 4: I don't believe you. But everyone in Australia can be
- 30:27Speaker 4: extremely relieved. Here we are because we now have an
- 30:30Speaker 4: inquiry in to peed bags the beginning of the free journey.
- 30:35Speaker 6: It ends absolutely nowhere.
- 30:38Speaker 4: And just to prove to you how important this is
- 30:42Speaker 4: now to the Australian government, they have elected none other
- 30:47Speaker 4: than Senator Lydia Thorpe.
- 30:49Speaker 2: To chair this enquiry gonna be okay.
- 30:53Speaker 6: Here's the statement that she put out.
- 30:55Speaker 4: If it's somewhat reassuring, that's because obviously a staffer.
- 30:58Speaker 6: Wrote it for her.
- 31:00Speaker 4: These chemicals already affect every single person in the world,
- 31:03Speaker 4: yet not enough is being done to manage our exposure
- 31:06Speaker 4: to them and reduce the risks. P facs are the
- 31:10Speaker 4: asbestos of the twenty first century. Great metaphor, but far
- 31:14Speaker 4: more prevalent and far less understood. This committee has the
- 31:18Speaker 4: opportunity to drive change that will protect and improve the
- 31:21Speaker 4: health of every single person and the health of our
- 31:24Speaker 4: waterways and country. To whoever wrote that, well done.
- 31:31Speaker 6: This is better than nothing.
- 31:33Speaker 1: How do you feel about the fact that you and
- 31:35Speaker 1: lydia Thoughpe now have a overlab on this is your
- 31:39Speaker 1: ven diagram.
- 31:40Speaker 2: She'll probably reached out to work on her team.
- 31:43Speaker 6: Well, I reckon.
- 31:44Speaker 4: My five year old self could probably do a better
- 31:46Speaker 4: job of sharing this inquiry and be more.
- 31:49Speaker 3: Passionate with your thought, because it will give her something
- 31:51Speaker 3: constructive to focus on.
- 31:53Speaker 2: This is probably she does.
- 31:54Speaker 4: Focus on it right, because it's no joke.
- 31:57Speaker 2: Chemicals are colonized.
- 32:01Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's a micro AGGRESSI.
- 32:09Speaker 1: Just yeah, I'm sure it's a strong indication of how
- 32:13Speaker 1: seriously the government is taking this issue. Another serious issue
- 32:18Speaker 1: is the Flying Kangaroo. Are you familiar with that little brand?
- 32:22Speaker 1: It's gone really well recently and they lost their CEO.
- 32:25Speaker 1: I think the Chairman's just going to stick around for
- 32:27Speaker 1: a little while.
- 32:28Speaker 4: My friend just lost their luggage yesterday in New Zealand.
- 32:31Speaker 4: Flying Kangaroo lost her luggage. The ditch queens, what what
- 32:38Speaker 4: is going on?
- 32:39Speaker 1: But yes, just when you thought that the problems were
- 32:43Speaker 1: all over, it turns out that the airline is in
- 32:48Speaker 1: trouble for allowing too many people into the Chairman's lounge.
- 32:53Speaker 1: The chairman, who may or may not be long for
- 32:55Speaker 1: this world. His lounge, nonetheless is highly active, including containing
- 33:00Speaker 1: approximately ninety three percent of our nation's parliamentarians. There was
- 33:05Speaker 1: a little yarn in the Daily Mail to this effect.
- 33:08Speaker 1: You know you can trust it if it's in the
- 33:10Speaker 1: Mighty Male, he says, why you're being left to foot
- 33:13Speaker 1: the bill as airlines Wine and Dine are entitled federal
- 33:17Speaker 1: pollys in ultra exclusive VIP clubs now in a bow
- 33:23Speaker 1: that is stretched about as long as the trip from
- 33:26Speaker 1: Australia to New Zealand, They say that the fact that
- 33:30Speaker 1: all these perks are being spent on pollies and other
- 33:33Speaker 1: VIPs in the chairman's lounge, they will eventually, at some
- 33:38Speaker 1: point indeterminately a bit like a Kamala Harris policy be
- 33:41Speaker 1: passed on to the consumer, the passenger in the form
- 33:45Speaker 1: of higher fair prices.
- 33:48Speaker 4: Discuss there was nothing in this article to suggest how
- 33:53Speaker 4: we are paying for this.
- 33:54Speaker 6: How do you know that they just had profits?
- 33:57Speaker 4: I mean, they made great profits, so I don't I
- 34:01Speaker 4: don't believe that we went across the hire because these
- 34:04Speaker 4: guys go to the chairman lounge.
- 34:05Speaker 6: That is a nice little bribe. Well that's the way
- 34:08Speaker 6: I see it anyway, that Quantus is handing.
- 34:11Speaker 4: Out to these very powerful people. We've talked before about
- 34:14Speaker 4: how the government seems to have a.
- 34:17Speaker 6: Soft spot, shall we.
- 34:18Speaker 4: Say, to Quantas when it comes to not allowing a
- 34:22Speaker 4: certain other airline into the country, which would have been
- 34:24Speaker 4: great for the market, would have been great for US,
- 34:27Speaker 4: and the Australian government says no kibosh that that would
- 34:30Speaker 4: be damaging to Quantis. Quantas also got bailed out during
- 34:35Speaker 4: the pandemic. Poor old what's the one that just went down?
- 34:39Speaker 4: Hasn't got a bailout.
- 34:40Speaker 1: Yet there was Rex, Yeah, that's right, and before that
- 34:44Speaker 1: there was BONDSA yeah, bonds.
- 34:45Speaker 3: None of those guys get at either.
- 34:48Speaker 2: By the way, ninety three impulse, aout, compass and set.
- 34:54Speaker 3: Nine of our federal politicians are members of the Chairman's Lounge,
- 35:00Speaker 3: but eighty percent of our federal politicians are members of
- 35:03Speaker 3: the virgin equivalent, which is beyond. And yet no one
- 35:06Speaker 3: ever talks about how that's a bad.
- 35:08Speaker 1: Well, you know what, I got a gold Have you
- 35:10Speaker 1: been to the I've never been.
- 35:15Speaker 3: Hasn't a politician invited me in?
- 35:18Speaker 6: Have you not been in there? No, I'm not.
- 35:21Speaker 1: I'm a man of the people. I'm in the food
- 35:22Speaker 1: court eating hungry jacks.
- 35:24Speaker 2: I didn't think it was that. I guess it really,
- 35:28Speaker 2: I thought it was. It's so talked up.
- 35:30Speaker 3: I think I was expecting you know.
- 35:34Speaker 6: I don't know the one I was in.
- 35:38Speaker 3: I was like, I can understand why politicians would appreciate it, though,
- 35:42Speaker 3: because could you imagine if you've got a politician sitting
- 35:46Speaker 3: in the airport sort of terminal just with everybody else,
- 35:49Speaker 3: every man and his dog would be lining up to
- 35:51Speaker 3: either pat him on the back or kick him, And.
- 35:54Speaker 6: So you are public servants, so they don't get patted
- 35:58Speaker 6: on the back.
- 35:59Speaker 7: Or I.
- 36:03Speaker 1: Can telling people the best way to assassinate Donald drop.
- 36:06Speaker 1: But now you say the best I would wake up politician.
- 36:09Speaker 4: But the reason why Virgin hasn't been similarly scandalized in
- 36:14Speaker 4: the papers about this is because the government hasn't been
- 36:18Speaker 4: seen to do Virgin anything.
- 36:19Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think it was less about the lounge
- 36:21Speaker 3: and more about the chairman who was in charge at
- 36:23Speaker 3: the time, because Ellen Joyce was highly political.
- 36:27Speaker 2: I think the new chairperson.
- 36:29Speaker 1: Here's the CEO, Richard Bloyder, I think is.
- 36:31Speaker 2: The new CEO will be far less.
- 36:33Speaker 1: But I kind of I had a Virgin. I was
- 36:35Speaker 1: a member of the Virgin Gold Thing. I got my
- 36:38Speaker 1: gold thing and I got it there. You know, I
- 36:41Speaker 1: got it the hard way because someone came on studio
- 36:43Speaker 1: tend and gave it to me. And then it's been good.
- 36:45Speaker 1: I did everything I did my fly bys. I went
- 36:47Speaker 1: the first choice liquor. I bought every single thing in
- 36:50Speaker 1: that shop and got nothing. Now I'm but downgrade with silver.
- 36:53Speaker 1: How's that justice, my parade? You've actually got a fly
- 36:57Speaker 1: chairman's lounge from me. I'm in the mail room, boys, lounge.
- 37:00Speaker 3: We're in a comfort Joe during the break. By the way,
- 37:03Speaker 3: before we go to a break, a shout out to
- 37:04Speaker 3: Merlin Clark. She's ninety four years old, told me the
- 37:07Speaker 3: other day she watches every episode of.
- 37:09Speaker 2: The Late Debate. I hope you're doing well.
- 37:11Speaker 3: Merlin will be back in a moment with what's making
- 37:13Speaker 3: news in tomorrow's papers. Welcome back. Well, let's take a
- 37:19Speaker 3: look at what's making news in tomorrow's papers before we do.
- 37:22Speaker 3: By the way, Joe, and you're kicking us off with
- 37:24Speaker 3: a DLHI Telegraph. Yes, I've been listening to your podcast.
- 37:28Speaker 1: You're the one.
- 37:30Speaker 3: I don't know if other people are listening to it,
- 37:32Speaker 3: but I got to say it's very good. You have
- 37:33Speaker 3: Paul Murray the other week we did indeed and this
- 37:35Speaker 3: logo award winner, load of award, wind.
- 37:37Speaker 1: Of the gold, like we're the biggest man of the moment,
- 37:39Speaker 1: Larry m We've got the inside store of how we
- 37:42Speaker 1: won the goal, like all the little campaign tecks, what
- 37:44Speaker 1: he actually really did on the Daily Sanes plus all
- 37:48Speaker 1: the politics. So yeah, the real story with Joe Hildebrandt
- 37:50Speaker 1: Reregat podcasts, everything you need to know answered and just
- 37:54Speaker 1: just you don't need to listen to anything. Actually, this
- 37:56Speaker 1: show and the last show and the real story with
- 37:59Speaker 1: Joe held about, that's all you need to listen to.
- 38:02Speaker 1: And the Daily Telegraph, which I'm about to tell you
- 38:04Speaker 1: about right now. This story, the real story with Joe
- 38:07Speaker 1: held around, this show and the Daily Telegraph, and I
- 38:10Speaker 1: can get mother listen to your mother as well, that's
- 38:12Speaker 1: very important. But yes, from Bay to the Daily Telegraph today.
- 38:14Speaker 1: Thank you very much Jones for that shameless pug little
- 38:18Speaker 1: Yan and I wrote the leader for It's fantastic. It's
- 38:20Speaker 1: about a guy he went to his favorite cafe, his
- 38:22Speaker 1: local cafe. He says the food there is so good
- 38:26Speaker 1: that he just wolfs it down. He actually said, yes,
- 38:30Speaker 1: I just did the breakfast so good the bakery I
- 38:32Speaker 1: inhale it. And then one day he did actually inhale it.
- 38:36Speaker 1: Oh he's and he's sucked in a bit of toast
- 38:39Speaker 1: and he started choking, and he's and he's dying right
- 38:43Speaker 1: like he's fully joking. Cannot breathe and he's pointing to
- 38:47Speaker 1: like pointing to this point into that because he can't talk.
- 38:50Speaker 1: And the cafe owner was not mean to be working,
- 38:53Speaker 1: but just having to stop buying his way back from
- 38:55Speaker 1: the gym. He springs out from behind the coffee machine.
- 38:58Speaker 1: He thinks, oh my God, in the back of his head,
- 39:00Speaker 1: I know he's got a brain aneurysm. And then he realizes,
- 39:04Speaker 1: I know he's actually choking, and he performs that. He
- 39:07Speaker 1: performs a Heimlich maneuver. And how do you know how
- 39:12Speaker 1: to do it? I just did what they do in
- 39:13Speaker 1: the movies.
- 39:14Speaker 4: Yes, if someone was choking in a restaurant or cafe
- 39:22Speaker 4: that I was at, I just feel like I know
- 39:23Speaker 4: how to do it because we've all seen it so
- 39:26Speaker 4: many times on the movie.
- 39:28Speaker 3: I mean, I've had occasions where you get a bit
- 39:29Speaker 3: of food stuck and for a split second, it's incredibly scary.
- 39:33Speaker 3: I can't imagine what it would have been standing there
- 39:36Speaker 3: thinking I Am going to die now.
- 39:38Speaker 6: It's only terrifying if you're alone. Imagine if you will.
- 39:42Speaker 6: Normally you're sat alone.
- 39:43Speaker 4: At home one night, you're eating that toast, you start choking.
- 39:47Speaker 4: You don't have a hope in heck, there is no one.
- 39:50Speaker 6: What are you going to do?
- 39:52Speaker 1: Dark place on the next door name.
- 39:55Speaker 4: My brain thinks of these things. Okay, people, one train
- 39:58Speaker 4: of thought. I have seven on four tracks.
- 40:01Speaker 6: All the conductors are screen avoiding each other.
- 40:04Speaker 1: So this is what about all the children in Africa
- 40:06Speaker 1: who can't even afford toast?
- 40:08Speaker 3: But this guy almost died on a piece of total
- 40:10Speaker 3: almost direct.
- 40:12Speaker 2: Let's go to the Castle.
- 40:14Speaker 3: The Newcastle Herald, they've got exclusive story strike weapons to
- 40:18Speaker 3: be built at New Williamtown Factory Missile Launch, reads the headline.
- 40:22Speaker 3: The story says the Federal Government will build a missile
- 40:25Speaker 3: factory on Newcastle Airport owned land.
- 40:27Speaker 2: Minister for Defense, Industry and.
- 40:29Speaker 3: Capability Delivery Pat Conroy is expected to announce today, so
- 40:33Speaker 3: bear in mind this is tomorrow's paper, so this will
- 40:37Speaker 3: be announced on Friday. That the factory will employ about
- 40:39Speaker 3: one hundred people when operating and five hundred workers during construction. Now,
- 40:44Speaker 3: the Australian Government is partnering with the Norwegian firm. The
- 40:48Speaker 3: Federal Governments investing eight hundred and fifty million dollars in
- 40:51Speaker 3: this project. They'll produce missiles and will be valued at
- 40:54Speaker 3: two million dollars each with a range of seven two
- 40:56Speaker 3: hundred and seventy five kilometers. They can be fired from
- 40:59Speaker 3: land or This is a great thing for our country
- 41:02Speaker 3: because obviously if we are in a war, there was
- 41:04Speaker 3: a report in The Australian some months ago saying that
- 41:07Speaker 3: if we were involved in a war, we would run
- 41:09Speaker 3: out of ammunition. I think it was within a week
- 41:12Speaker 3: of hostilities beginning. So the ability to manufacture our own
- 41:16Speaker 3: munitions is kind of handy.
- 41:19Speaker 1: Well. Paul Keating famously said that challenging China was like
- 41:22Speaker 1: throwing toothpicks at a mountain, and that was actually our
- 41:24Speaker 1: plan under the previous defense strategy. That is pretty much
- 41:27Speaker 1: all we had. So this is fantastic.
- 41:28Speaker 6: It's awesome if it ever happens. Like honestly, I.
- 41:32Speaker 4: Read the government's declaration of this, the media release. It
- 41:35Speaker 4: doesn't even name a date, not for the start, not
- 41:38Speaker 4: for the finish. I mean, we know you never hit
- 41:40Speaker 4: your targets, but at least pretend to make them to
- 41:43Speaker 4: the front page of the Australia.
- 41:44Speaker 6: Now first story is we've got so many. I'm spoilt
- 41:49Speaker 6: for choice.
- 41:50Speaker 1: We got our I don't see Managing director.
- 41:52Speaker 4: Yes one for the fact check unit ABC's human shield
- 41:56Speaker 4: claims Williams wanted him to stay. ABC Managing Director David
- 42:01Speaker 4: Anderson has surprisingly resigned just one year into his second
- 42:05Speaker 4: five year term, ending a tumultuous tenure in which the
- 42:09Speaker 4: public broadcaster weathered heavy attacks on its editorial standards, experienced
- 42:14Speaker 4: an alarming drop in its radio audiences, and faced internal
- 42:19Speaker 4: unrest over allegations of racism and sexual harassment. So he's
- 42:24Speaker 4: going to formally step down early next year.
- 42:28Speaker 6: You'd think you'd just be glad to be gone.
- 42:30Speaker 3: It was Laura Tingle who was calling him a human shield,
- 42:33Speaker 3: saying that he was the punching bag for the ABC,
- 42:36Speaker 3: and they've had quite a few problems while he was there.
- 42:38Speaker 3: I mean there was the coronation Yich got huge criticism.
- 42:43Speaker 3: There was Stan Grant to accuse the ABC of not
- 42:46Speaker 3: properly defending.
- 42:47Speaker 2: Him and looking after him.
- 42:49Speaker 3: There were surveys of staff that found been one hundred
- 42:53Speaker 3: had been sexually harassed one hundred and eighty sixty.
- 42:56Speaker 1: So I've been accused of a culture of racism and
- 42:59Speaker 1: sexual harassment. So the ABC is being attacked by the
- 43:03Speaker 1: left for not being progressive and inclusive and enough of
- 43:07Speaker 1: a safe space. It gets attacked by the left online
- 43:11Speaker 1: for being two right wings. So insiders David Spears constantly
- 43:14Speaker 1: monstered Lee's sales, absolutely monstered when she dared questioned Dan
- 43:18Speaker 1: Andrews Lisa Miller from ABS and His Breakfast basically bullied
- 43:22Speaker 1: off social media because people kept attacking or attacking or
- 43:25Speaker 1: attacking and attacking it. So I feel sorry for David
- 43:28Speaker 1: Anderson because you've got everyone else on the right, of
- 43:30Speaker 1: course or conservative people saying this is obviously just a
- 43:34Speaker 1: boring left wing love in which in a lot of
- 43:36Speaker 1: cases it kind of is. But at the same time
- 43:38Speaker 1: you've got all the people who claim to feel most
- 43:41Speaker 1: passionate about the ABC accusing it. If you can believe this,
- 43:44Speaker 1: and trust me, it is out there of being it
- 43:46Speaker 1: being too right wing but lurching to the right. And
- 43:49Speaker 1: so the poor guy I would have quit too. I
- 43:52Speaker 1: would just go, you know what, f you all, He's
- 43:53Speaker 1: got enough money to last in a lifetime.
- 43:55Speaker 3: So one year into a new five year contract he's
- 43:59Speaker 3: pulled up stumps.
- 44:00Speaker 4: That's you know, you got to know someone's desperate to
- 44:02Speaker 4: be out by that point.
- 44:03Speaker 6: Otherwise you'd just be like, heck, I've got the contract.
- 44:06Speaker 4: Or follow it through to the second headline on the
- 44:09Speaker 4: front of the os axed mind site.
- 44:12Speaker 6: Cultural significance of Gallipoli. I don't know about that.
- 44:18Speaker 4: An Indigenous historian who helped spearhead a campaign that brought
- 44:21Speaker 4: down the one billion dollar mcphillamy's gold project in central
- 44:26Speaker 4: New South Wales, said the proposed MIND location should be
- 44:30Speaker 4: treated with the same respect as the historical sites of
- 44:33Speaker 4: Gallipoli and Battle of the Somme because of the cultural
- 44:36Speaker 4: significance of the Frontier War was fought on the site
- 44:40Speaker 4: in the eighteen hundreds. I mean, obviously, this is the
- 44:44Speaker 4: person who spearheaded the attempt to get this MIND taken down.
- 44:49Speaker 6: It was taken down. It's no longer going ahead.
- 44:52Speaker 4: So she would say something anyone's definition.
- 44:57Speaker 1: But I think the mainstream indigenous groups actually wanted to
- 44:59Speaker 1: go ahead, like I think the local landcap if they did,
- 45:02Speaker 1: wanted to go ahead. And she's just sort of some
- 45:04Speaker 1: kind of fringe. I mean, maybe she knows something that
- 45:07Speaker 1: no one else knows, but she's a kind of I
- 45:09Speaker 1: think they describe her as a dissident, dissident voice in
- 45:13Speaker 1: the thing. So it's very weird that kind of even
- 45:17Speaker 1: the main official sort of indigenous bodies want this to
- 45:19Speaker 1: go ahead. And yet just because someone said, oh no,
- 45:22Speaker 1: actually I don't think I should, and that's it. A
- 45:24Speaker 1: billion dollars worth of industry, economic investment gone.
- 45:28Speaker 3: Yeah, comparing the site to Gillipli is not going to
- 45:31Speaker 3: win any friends.
- 45:32Speaker 6: Oh it clearly declares you're a nutter. Okay.
- 45:35Speaker 4: Last headline, ETU two withhold rather one million dollars in
- 45:39Speaker 4: ALP donations. The Electrical Trades Union will withhold more than
- 45:44Speaker 4: one million dollars in political donations to the ALP for
- 45:47Speaker 4: the next federal election. In Protestant labor legislating to force
- 45:51Speaker 4: the CFMEU into administration and redirect money towards finding a
- 45:55Speaker 4: potential high Court funding rather a potential high Court sharee
- 46:00Speaker 4: to the legislation, Joe, your mates are in turmoil.
- 46:05Speaker 1: Oh I know these are not my mates. ATU has
- 46:07Speaker 1: flipped to the hard left. It was left all around
- 46:10Speaker 1: the country except in New South Wales. That union then flip.
- 46:12Speaker 1: These are the same people who walked out on elbow
- 46:14Speaker 1: in the middle of his speech to the New South
- 46:16Speaker 1: Wales State Labor Conference. They are traitors, They are trees
- 46:19Speaker 1: and us ruts. They should be treated as such.
- 46:22Speaker 3: All right, we're going to go to a break, but
- 46:24Speaker 3: stick around after the break. The left wing media mourned
- 46:27Speaker 3: the death of a openly gay penguin and a thief
- 46:30Speaker 3: court after he stops mid robbery to read a book.
- 46:33Speaker 2: It's coming up in a moment. Welcome back, all right,
- 46:39Speaker 2: Liz story.
- 46:39Speaker 3: You've got a hilarious story about a book thief in.
- 46:43Speaker 2: Italy in Rome.
- 46:44Speaker 4: He was there to steal stuff from a hotel room,
- 46:48Speaker 4: got distracted by a book, and then got busted because.
- 46:51Speaker 6: He couldn't put it down. The article reads the man,
- 46:53Speaker 6: a thirty eight year old Italian, gained act access.
- 46:57Speaker 4: To the building and the Delevatoria district from the balcony,
- 47:00Speaker 4: but became distracted after seeing a book on a bedside table. However,
- 47:05Speaker 4: the owner of the property, a seventy one year old man,
- 47:08Speaker 4: woke up and confronted the burglar, who was reportedly sitting
- 47:11Speaker 4: on a bed absorbed in the book.
- 47:14Speaker 6: Of course, you want to know what is this book?
- 47:17Speaker 6: How was it so incredible?
- 47:19Speaker 4: The book is called The Gods at six the Iliad
- 47:22Speaker 4: at apateef time.
- 47:24Speaker 6: Is that how you pronounce apatheev?
- 47:26Speaker 2: Sounds pretty good to me.
- 47:27Speaker 6: I'm just not exotic enough. But it's about the Iliad
- 47:30Speaker 6: from the point of view of.
- 47:31Speaker 4: The gods, while highlighting the interpretive power of the epic
- 47:34Speaker 4: work to understand current events.
- 47:37Speaker 6: Not something that you would have thought would capture this
- 47:41Speaker 6: burglar who was there to steal stuff.
- 47:44Speaker 4: Is like, hang on a minute, the iliad interpreting modern
- 47:48Speaker 4: day events.
- 47:49Speaker 1: That sounds great. If I was I'd be exactly satan.
- 47:51Speaker 1: But the first thing I thought of, how rapped would
- 47:54Speaker 1: you be if you were the author of that book?
- 47:57Speaker 1: I mean, that is going straight in the blurb, isn't it?
- 48:00Speaker 1: Unput down the ball?
- 48:04Speaker 3: Let him take it with him to the watchhouse, so
- 48:05Speaker 3: we had something to do before we go. This story
- 48:09Speaker 3: made headlines right around the world.
- 48:11Speaker 2: Today. A Sidney penguin has died.
- 48:14Speaker 3: Who cares you say, Well, this penguin was openly gay.
- 48:18Speaker 3: The headline in the ABC read whereas I've lost it.
- 48:24Speaker 3: Then the penguin known for same sex love story dies
- 48:27Speaker 3: at Sydney Aquarium, aged eleven. Spen was hanging around one
- 48:32Speaker 3: of the other male penguins quite a bit, and so
- 48:34Speaker 3: the people at Sydney Sea Life Aquarium decided, well, the
- 48:37Speaker 3: only explanation for this is that Spen and Magic, the
- 48:40Speaker 3: other penguin, they must be gay, and so they coaxed
- 48:43Speaker 3: them into pretending to hatch a dummy egg. Then they
- 48:47Speaker 3: took a real egg, gave it to the pair, and
- 48:50Speaker 3: having been taught what to do.
- 48:51Speaker 2: They managed to hatch that egg.
- 48:53Speaker 3: And so then the New South Wales Teachers Federation developed
- 48:56Speaker 3: a curriculum around these gay penguins to teach kindergarten kid
- 49:00Speaker 3: it's all about inclusive relationships. Will now spend The penguin
- 49:04Speaker 3: has died and it's made headlines. What I loved was
- 49:07Speaker 3: they said that these penguins were quote openly gay. Can
- 49:11Speaker 3: penguins be in the closet or the freezer? As it
- 49:15Speaker 3: was obviously openly gay. They made a choice to come
- 49:18Speaker 3: out as gay, these penguins.
- 49:19Speaker 1: It's not a black and white is shire.
- 49:20Speaker 6: It's friends.
- 49:23Speaker 2: You've got to go.
- 49:23Speaker 3: That's it from us stick Around. Coming up is the
- 49:25Speaker 3: Reader Penney Show.
