- 0:08Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panehy Show. I'm
- 0:10Speaker 2: Danikai Giorgio coming up tonight. US commentator Candace Owens has
- 0:14Speaker 2: lost her bid to enter Australia. Good move or an
- 0:17Speaker 2: infringement on free speech?
- 0:19Speaker 3: I'll ask my panel.
- 0:20Speaker 2: Labor rolls out a fourteen million dollar ad campaign ahead
- 0:24Speaker 2: of its under sixteen social media band for teenagers are
- 0:27Speaker 2: already outsmarting the government. Claire row will join me Army

- 0:36Speaker 3: Would have been this thirty second firm day.

- 0:42Speaker 2: Love Meghan.
- 0:43Speaker 3: Series d.
- 0:44Speaker 2: D Dunleey has more on what we are likely to
- 0:47Speaker 2: be subjected.
- 0:48Speaker 3: To next, and of course.
- 0:50Speaker 2: Lefty's are losing it, including the delightful Liberal currents.
- 0:54Speaker 4: We need to get rid of the real DEEI hires Oh.
- 1:00Speaker 3: Wait Man, but first tonight.
- 1:03Speaker 2: The Liberal Party is in an absolute mess, still deep
- 1:06Speaker 2: in its post election identity crisis and apparently unable to
- 1:10Speaker 2: get its act together. Senior Opposition front bencher James Patterson
- 1:14Speaker 2: has told an audience in Sydney last night that the
- 1:17Speaker 2: forage light populism of Andrew Hasty and just sent a
- 1:20Speaker 2: Nampa jimper Price will lead to the party's destruction. He
- 1:23Speaker 2: also demanded that the party's sole searching apology tour must
- 1:27Speaker 2: end because the ongoing mass public therapy session.
- 1:30Speaker 3: Is doing even more damage to the Liberal brand.
- 1:33Speaker 2: Joining me out for more on this the Sky News
- 1:35Speaker 2: contributors Louise Roberts and James bolt Tier, both of you
- 1:38Speaker 2: thanks so much for joining me on the show.
- 1:41Speaker 3: Look, Louise, the Livers.
- 1:42Speaker 2: Are at an absolute mess, okay, and they've been like
- 1:44Speaker 2: this since the election this year. They're still talking about themselves.
- 1:48Speaker 2: There is no policy on the table. What do you
- 1:51Speaker 2: make of this latest intervention by Senator Patterson.
- 1:54Speaker 5: Well well done here.
- 1:55Speaker 6: I think I see more as a rescue mission rather
- 1:57Speaker 6: than any kind of power play from him. For job
- 2:01Speaker 6: and if you think about Liberals being the party for
- 2:03Speaker 6: small government, lower taxes, personal responsibility, I think the point
- 2:07Speaker 6: he's making is that can voters still trust that, can
- 2:09Speaker 6: they still trust that they can run the economy?
- 2:11Speaker 5: And do they still want to vote for them? And
- 2:13Speaker 5: they're run out?
- 2:13Speaker 3: Of time.
- 2:14Speaker 5: There's no runway.
- 2:15Speaker 6: Either they get on board with their intrinsic values with
- 2:19Speaker 6: voters or they have to move aside because the.
- 2:21Speaker 5: Voters will decide for them.
- 2:22Speaker 6: They will never get back in a position to power.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with that. I mean I don't necessarily
- 2:26Speaker 2: agree with his comments.
- 2:27Speaker 3: About farage light.
- 2:28Speaker 2: I think that the Liberal Party actually need to put
- 2:30Speaker 2: some differentiating policies on the table. Susan Lee was asked
- 2:34Speaker 2: earlier whether she was briefed ahead of Senator Patterson's speech.
- 2:37Speaker 3: She was quite core.
- 2:37Speaker 7: You have a look he says, stop the public therapy
- 2:41Speaker 7: sessions and unite the party.
- 2:43Speaker 8: Did you get the memmo before he went to print on.
- 2:45Speaker 6: All of that, As I said, I welcome the contribution
- 2:50Speaker 6: and indeed the contribution of every single member of my team.
- 2:53Speaker 3: So he didn't tell it to be proud of the
- 2:54Speaker 3: team that I lead, James.
- 2:57Speaker 2: The reality is Susan Lee is doing dismally right now
- 3:00Speaker 2: in the polls, and I think she's lost two of
- 3:02Speaker 2: her best assets in just Cinter Nampa, jinmper Price and
- 3:04Speaker 2: Andrew Hasty now going to the backbench. So I think,
- 3:07Speaker 2: you know, Senator Patterson can come out and say everything
- 3:09Speaker 2: he wants, but the reality is there's no policy on
- 3:12Speaker 2: the table.
- 3:12Speaker 9: Yeah, and I think that's what Senator Patterson must be
- 3:15Speaker 9: crying out for. It's like he's saying, we can't be this,
- 3:17Speaker 9: we can't be that, but there's nothing that he's been
- 3:20Speaker 9: told he can actually be. I think a lot of
- 3:22Speaker 9: the conversation about where the Liberals need to go puts
- 3:25Speaker 9: the cart before the horse, or yeah, cut before the horse,
- 3:29Speaker 9: in the sense that it's not so much the party
- 3:31Speaker 9: that should follow voters. I think it's more the party
- 3:34Speaker 9: needs to find something and then bring voters into the
- 3:36Speaker 9: mix and convince them of that. So it's not so
- 3:39Speaker 9: much that Andrew Hassey in just Cinta Nampa, jimper Price,
- 3:42Speaker 9: or even the teal moderates. The problem here. The problem
- 3:45Speaker 9: is that Season Layers not defined what she wants her
- 3:48Speaker 9: leadership to be. And until that happens, I mean they
- 3:51Speaker 9: called a clown show. I think it's closer to an
- 3:53Speaker 9: open mic night where anyone that has produces contact in
- 3:57Speaker 9: their phone can just get up and wax lyrical about
- 3:59Speaker 9: what's with the party and where it needs to go.
- 4:02Speaker 9: But it's going to continue until this longer way ted
- 4:04Speaker 9: election review comes out, which I feel we've been saying
- 4:07Speaker 9: is imminently arriving or just you know, just hold on
- 4:10Speaker 9: until that's there. I feel we've been saying that for
- 4:12Speaker 9: three months and until we get that, it's just going
- 4:14Speaker 9: to be the same issues.
- 4:16Speaker 2: But also the energy policy is going to take twelve months.
- 4:18Speaker 2: You know, it's just this, It just keeps going on
- 4:21Speaker 2: and on. There's nothing firm, there's nothing to bring voters
- 4:23Speaker 2: to the table. I completely agree. Now, look, online US
- 4:26Speaker 2: commentator Candace Owens has lost her bid to enter Australia.
- 4:29Speaker 2: The High Court has unanimously sided with the Immigration Minister's
- 4:33Speaker 2: decision to ban her from entering.
- 4:35Speaker 3: Owens was due to visit Australia for a speaking to a.
- 4:37Speaker 2: Next month, but the Albanezy government rejected her visa on
- 4:40Speaker 2: the grounds that her views could incite discourse in society. Now, look, Louise,
- 4:44Speaker 2: I think her comments, particularly on Israel, have been absolutely appalling.
- 4:47Speaker 3: I think she's absolutely divorced from reality.
- 4:50Speaker 2: But we've also seen Israeli politicians bann yet we've got
- 4:52Speaker 2: Isis brides in the country, we've got hate preachers in
- 4:55Speaker 2: the country. I don't agree with this. I don't agree
- 4:58Speaker 2: with Candace Owens views at all. I think she is appalling.
- 5:01Speaker 2: But where does it end.
- 5:03Speaker 6: Yeah, look, I guess there is several contradiction terms here
- 5:05Speaker 6: that some people do get allowed into the country and
- 5:07Speaker 6: get a platform for hate and other people.
- 5:10Speaker 5: I wondered whether it was easy.
- 5:11Speaker 6: She's an easy sort of full person in a way
- 5:13Speaker 6: to sort of say, well, look, we are.
- 5:14Speaker 5: Trying to protect our borders.
- 5:16Speaker 6: We do have a say on who comes into Australia,
- 5:19Speaker 6: and somebody who's sort of minimizing the Holocaust and her
- 5:21Speaker 6: all her anti Jewish comments, as you say, well, look, tick,
- 5:25Speaker 6: that's it.
- 5:25Speaker 5: We've got rid of her. She's not coming into the country.
- 5:27Speaker 5: Job done.
- 5:27Speaker 6: But it's not as simple as that, really isn't because
- 5:29Speaker 6: there are other people who can come in and spread hate,
- 5:32Speaker 6: and there's also homegrown people who spread hate on a
- 5:35Speaker 6: daily basis.
- 5:36Speaker 3: And get away with it exactly.
- 5:37Speaker 2: This is why I think labor walks both sides of
- 5:39Speaker 2: the street when it comes to this is as we've
- 5:41Speaker 2: seen from October seven, twenty twenty three.
- 5:43Speaker 3: James.
- 5:43Speaker 2: But what do you think good move or do you
- 5:45Speaker 2: think it's just as an infringement on freedom of speech?
- 5:48Speaker 9: I mean it's a good move in the sense that,
- 5:49Speaker 9: like I mean, the constitution does allow for it. But
- 5:52Speaker 9: that's the problem, is the constitution.
- 5:53Speaker 10: Allows for this thing.
- 5:54Speaker 9: I mean the idea that candiceans can come to this
- 5:57Speaker 9: country and cause division. But you can only do that
- 6:00Speaker 9: by a physical presence. I mean, if we wanted to,
- 6:02Speaker 9: Not that we want to, because they're done videos, but
- 6:04Speaker 9: we could all sit down and watch everything that Candae
- 6:07Speaker 9: Owens has ever said and anything that she will ever
- 6:09Speaker 9: say on our screens. Whenever he watch, she's already causing
- 6:12Speaker 9: the division in the community that she would if she
- 6:14Speaker 9: were to come over here. So it is this political grandstanding,
- 6:18Speaker 9: this easy. I can get a good headline out of this.
- 6:21Speaker 9: I'm on the back foot, So why don't I just
- 6:24Speaker 9: kick Candas Cohens out of the country, win a high
- 6:26Speaker 9: court challenge? And it is and then down the line
- 6:30Speaker 9: that is an infringement on freedom of speech. The question
- 6:33Speaker 9: always comes back to who has the ability to decide
- 6:36Speaker 9: what you can hear? Because Tony Burke can say you
- 6:39Speaker 9: shouldn't hear Candae Owens, and that's easy. I don't want
- 6:42Speaker 9: to hear Candas Owon's either. Tony Burke and I are
- 6:44Speaker 9: in complete lockstep on that one. But I don't also
- 6:46Speaker 9: think Tony Burke can decide who else I can hear from.
- 6:49Speaker 1: So that's when this.
- 6:50Speaker 9: Idea that the Home Affairs Minister can just pick and
- 6:52Speaker 9: choose who's allowed into the country really irks me.
- 6:55Speaker 3: Yeah exactly.
- 6:56Speaker 2: I mean, why do we leave it to a public
- 6:57Speaker 2: bureaucrat to make that decision. I think that's a very
- 7:00Speaker 2: fair point. Now, look, this next story is appalling. Victorian
- 7:03Speaker 2: Triple zero operators were forced to take call notes with
- 7:06Speaker 2: pens and paper after a power outage knocked out their
- 7:09Speaker 2: computer systems for several hours late last night. While the
- 7:13Speaker 2: call centers were still able to take calls, operators did
- 7:15Speaker 2: not have access to the computer aided dispatch system where
- 7:18Speaker 2: they would usually take down the details of emergencies and
- 7:21Speaker 2: forward them on halloys.
- 7:23Speaker 3: How does this happen?
- 7:23Speaker 2: You know, the backup systems failed where it just weeks after,
- 7:27Speaker 2: of course Optus had its outages, which has led to
- 7:30Speaker 2: several deaths.
- 7:31Speaker 8: Exactly. I mean, it doesn't.
- 7:33Speaker 2: Really leave you with a lot of confidence, does it
- 7:35Speaker 2: in the Tramil zero system right now?
- 7:36Speaker 6: Not to all, you would think the emergency service system
- 7:38Speaker 6: would be absolutely bulletproofed right across the country because those
- 7:42Speaker 6: people did die and because it failed, So the fact
- 7:45Speaker 6: that the computer aided dispatch system meant that people were
- 7:47Speaker 6: writing down details of the pen and paper, not even
- 7:50Speaker 6: knowing where there was a police car or.
- 7:51Speaker 5: An ambulance or fire and rescue or anything. And lives
- 7:54Speaker 5: are on the line then, and when.
- 7:56Speaker 6: I saw the Decinson Allen was saying, they've had no
- 7:58Speaker 6: detail yet or any of not getting any emergency care,
- 8:02Speaker 6: which is a world saturday. What does it even mean
- 8:05Speaker 6: that I saw that? As don't ask us the question
- 8:07Speaker 6: because we don't want to tell you.
- 8:09Speaker 2: She never she never wants to, never front up to anything.
- 8:13Speaker 2: But that was such a poor what a poor comment
- 8:15Speaker 2: by justint to Alan. But again, James, how does this,
- 8:18Speaker 2: how does it happen?
- 8:19Speaker 9: Seriously, it's twenty twenty five. I mean, you think about
- 8:22Speaker 9: the very basic role of government and society is to
- 8:25Speaker 9: keep it civilian safe. And I can't think of something
- 8:27Speaker 9: more obvious than a triple zero line that's faultless. So
- 8:30Speaker 9: a clear investigation is needed. I'm not going to say
- 8:32Speaker 9: that I know what happened. I don't know what happens,
- 8:35Speaker 9: like I don't know how my phone, my voice appears
- 8:37Speaker 9: on other people's phones. I'm not the person to be
- 8:39Speaker 9: weighing in on how a tripple zero outage happens, but
- 8:42Speaker 9: there are people that should do it. It needs to
- 8:43Speaker 9: be bulletproof. And I just can't believe something like this
- 8:46Speaker 9: would happen in this day and age.
- 8:47Speaker 3: Exactly and weeks after the opt sutage.
- 8:49Speaker 2: You know, seriously, Now, look, the green dream continues to
- 8:52Speaker 2: die a slow death. He'd have thought Andrew Forrests mining
- 8:55Speaker 2: company Fortescue has swung the axe at several hundred jobs
- 8:58Speaker 2: across the UK and Australia as it walks away from
- 9:00Speaker 2: its green energy ambitions. Now, Luis, you remember Andrew Forest.
- 9:04Speaker 2: He was one of the champions of green hydrogen. I mean,
- 9:06Speaker 2: we were told many times by Chris Bollin that green
- 9:09Speaker 2: hydrogen was the only way that we're going to be
- 9:10Speaker 2: able to get to net zero. It's been an absolute failure.
- 9:12Speaker 2: They've had project after project be scrapped. But you know,
- 9:16Speaker 2: I just think that Andrew Forrest is back to the
- 9:18Speaker 2: wrong horse from the beginning.
- 9:19Speaker 3: What do you think he has?
- 9:20Speaker 6: And I think in one of Australia's which is men
- 9:22Speaker 6: cannot make green manufacturing work. What hope is there for
- 9:26Speaker 6: other businesses and also small.
- 9:28Speaker 5: Businesses that have to get through this energy transition as well.
- 9:31Speaker 6: Whi's going to cost them staff and revenue and profit
- 9:34Speaker 6: as well.
- 9:35Speaker 5: And he's saying that, you know, he's now.
- 9:37Speaker 6: Saying it's senseless to compete with China, when I think
- 9:39Speaker 6: we kind of knew that from the outset there was
- 9:41Speaker 6: not going to be anyway he could compete with their
- 9:44Speaker 6: manufacturing skill in this department. So what we have now
- 9:47Speaker 6: is lots of people in the UK and Australia losing
- 9:49Speaker 6: their jobs.
- 9:49Speaker 3: Yeah, which is a shame.
- 9:50Speaker 2: I mean again, James, what does this say about this
- 9:53Speaker 2: you know, renewable.
- 9:54Speaker 3: Zonly magic carpet ride that we're all on right now.
- 9:56Speaker 9: Well, it's just gone so quick, so hard, so quickly.
- 9:59Speaker 9: I mean, Andrew Forrest not to be able to get
- 10:01Speaker 9: this off the ground, really says that there's not a
- 10:03Speaker 9: lot of business case. And then when reality meets dream,
- 10:05Speaker 9: reality wins, and you just think, like, eventually green energy
- 10:10Speaker 9: will overtake cold because new energy does, sorry, new technology
- 10:13Speaker 9: does replace old energy, But how far has it been
- 10:16Speaker 9: set back by these constant failures At the moment of
- 10:20Speaker 9: these big businesses going all in on green having to retreat,
- 10:24Speaker 9: pushing plans used down the line. I mean they've really
- 10:27Speaker 9: shot themselves in the foot by destroying the business case
- 10:29Speaker 9: for their own ideological designs.
- 10:32Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 10:32Speaker 2: Absolutely, But we kept being told about green hydrogen it
- 10:35Speaker 2: was going to be the future for Australia and look
- 10:37Speaker 2: at it. It's been a disaster, not just in Australia
- 10:39Speaker 2: but around the world for that matter. Now, the personal
- 10:42Speaker 2: phone numbers of several high profile politicians, including US President
- 10:45Speaker 2: Donald Trump and Prime Minister Anthony ALBERNIESI, have been published.
- 10:49Speaker 2: Their contact details were published on a public website which
- 10:52Speaker 2: uses AI to scrape the Internet for information the ways.
- 10:56Speaker 2: That's a bit of a worry, you know, the powers
- 10:58Speaker 2: of AI. I like he I don't get me wrong,
- 11:01Speaker 2: but gee, it's unregulated to the point now where these
- 11:03Speaker 2: sorts of private details are being scattered all over the Internet.
- 11:05Speaker 6: On foreign owned websites as well, So that our prime
- 11:08Speaker 6: minister's number is on a foreign owned website, and it
- 11:10Speaker 6: does sort of show the non partisan nature of digital scraping.
- 11:14Speaker 5: It doesn't matter what party you're in. Everyone is vulnerable.
- 11:16Speaker 6: So high profile names today, the rest of us tomorrow,
- 11:19Speaker 6: ordinary people tomorrow who you know, we're already at high
- 11:22Speaker 6: alert on hacking and having own information stolen. But the
- 11:26Speaker 6: fact that our leaders, their informations are then you can
- 11:28Speaker 6: hear his voicemail.
- 11:29Speaker 2: Great, I should just to say it was Donald Trump Junior.
- 11:31Speaker 2: But I mean, I just don't. I'm worried about this.
- 11:34Speaker 3: James.
- 11:35Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but I just think this
- 11:37Speaker 2: sets the standard for what AI is capable of.
- 11:40Speaker 3: And again I like AI, but gee, it's scary.
- 11:43Speaker 1: And here's the other thing.
- 11:44Speaker 9: How many times have we been told in the last
- 11:46Speaker 9: few years, so the government just needs a little bit
- 11:48Speaker 9: of data from us. It's just the most basic stuff.
- 11:51Speaker 9: It's not going to be too invasive. We're going to
- 11:53Speaker 9: keep it safe. They can't even keep Anthony Albernizi's phone
- 11:56Speaker 9: numbers safe. And you're telling me that my name, all
- 11:58Speaker 9: that stuff we handed over, and all that stuff we've
- 12:01Speaker 9: handed over since about where I live. You know, what
- 12:04Speaker 9: my number is, what my name is, that's all safe.
- 12:07Speaker 9: But apparently albanezis is it. This is something we all
- 12:10Speaker 9: need to remember when we're told just give over a
- 12:12Speaker 9: little bit of your privacy over to the government because
- 12:15Speaker 9: they can keep it safe.
- 12:16Speaker 10: It's not true.
- 12:17Speaker 2: Big Brother is always watching that's the problem. Now, look,
- 12:20Speaker 2: we've got to end on this. So just finally, Sydney's
- 12:22Speaker 2: Inner West and Willoughby councils have worn residents not to
- 12:25Speaker 2: use spooky Halloween decorations like fake spider webs. The Inner
- 12:29Speaker 2: West Council claims on its Facebook page that wildlife can
- 12:33Speaker 2: ingest or get stuck in synthetic cobwebs, fishing line, plastic rope,
- 12:37Speaker 2: strings and balloons. And it comes despite animal rescue groups
- 12:40Speaker 2: claiming that they can't definitively link Halloween decorations to wildlife
- 12:44Speaker 2: getting caught.
- 12:45Speaker 3: Well, what do you do?
- 12:46Speaker 6: Lois Well rates roads And that's the only thing I
- 12:50Speaker 6: want counsel to be micromanaging as far as I'm concerned,
- 12:52Speaker 6: not what. I've got some synthetic web draped on my
- 12:54Speaker 6: drive and by the way, I will have some. So
- 12:56Speaker 6: I'm going to be in big trouble with my little council.
- 12:58Speaker 6: But the fact thats who were you know, right on
- 13:01Speaker 6: top of animal welfare can't make the link between these
- 13:04Speaker 6: sort of you know, TACKI Halloween toys and the death
- 13:07Speaker 6: of animals just speaks volumes And the council can't even
- 13:10Speaker 6: do anything.
- 13:10Speaker 3: They can't what are they doing. James's the point.
- 13:14Speaker 10: They're being the fun police.
- 13:14Speaker 9: Halloween is the single greatest time of year. It is
- 13:18Speaker 9: the best, absolutely and any council that seeks to diminish
- 13:24Speaker 9: the aura of such a festivous, beautiful day, they're public
- 13:29Speaker 9: enemy number one.
- 13:29Speaker 3: What are you going to dress up?
- 13:31Speaker 9: Well, I used to be mister Halloween Party. I am
- 13:35Speaker 9: married to a very beautiful, loving woman who hates horror
- 13:38Speaker 9: more than anything in the world. So the Halloween party,
- 13:43Speaker 9: good Man, good.
- 13:43Speaker 2: Man, the smart move, James Bolt, Louise Robbers takes to
- 13:46Speaker 2: both of you for coming on.
- 13:47Speaker 3: Really appreciate it well.
- 13:49Speaker 2: Labor is rolling out a fourteen million dollar ad campaign
- 13:52Speaker 2: ahead of its ban on social media for under sixteens now.
- 13:55Speaker 2: This ban will come into effect on December tenth, and
- 13:57Speaker 2: will make it illegal for children under sixteen access the
- 14:00Speaker 2: likes of YouTube, Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. But of course,
- 14:04Speaker 2: teenagers or already circulating methods to circumvent this ban, like
- 14:09Speaker 2: claiming their accounts are parent managed, and even make up
- 14:12Speaker 2: tutorials to make themselves appear older and full facial recognition technology.
- 14:18Speaker 2: Who would have thought Joddy now is child psychologist and
- 14:21Speaker 2: Sky News contributor Claire Row Claire and I iced to see.
- 14:23Speaker 3: You as always.
- 14:24Speaker 2: Is this not more evidence that this band will be
- 14:26Speaker 2: impossible to enforce?
- 14:28Speaker 3: How do you police this?
- 14:30Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 14:31Speaker 8: It is true.
- 14:31Speaker 11: This band will be very difficult, and we yet to
- 14:34Speaker 11: hear from the tech companies. We're about six weeks away
- 14:36Speaker 11: from this and the details are still very unclear. I'm
- 14:41Speaker 11: not sure what the fourteen million dollars advertising to parents
- 14:44Speaker 11: is going to do, because the legislation does state that
- 14:47Speaker 11: the earnest will fall back on the tech company, and
- 14:50Speaker 11: You're right, teenagers are incredibly resourceful.
- 14:52Speaker 8: They will find a ways around it.
- 14:55Speaker 11: I still think it's the right and move, though I've
- 14:57Speaker 11: said many times here on Sky that I'm really wish
- 15:00Speaker 11: this had been a grass roots movement from parents and
- 15:04Speaker 11: did not require the big brother of government to do this,
- 15:08Speaker 11: But here we are.
- 15:09Speaker 8: I don't think we.
- 15:09Speaker 11: Can go on with twelve year olds living their lives
- 15:12Speaker 11: online anymore. And I'm already seeing the positive results of
- 15:17Speaker 11: this in my clinic. I'm hearing from parents who ordinarily
- 15:20Speaker 11: would have given their twelve year olds TikTok and Instagram
- 15:24Speaker 11: this year saying well, no, you can't have it, because
- 15:27Speaker 11: it's going to be banned in December anyway, and how
- 15:29Speaker 11: we're going to get you offered? So I think that's
- 15:31Speaker 11: really powerful. It is actually changing conversations to social norms.
- 15:36Speaker 11: Smartphone usage is declining with kids that age. I think
- 15:41Speaker 11: it's giving parents permission to draw that line. But I
- 15:44Speaker 11: would still love to hear from the tech companies about
- 15:47Speaker 11: how this is going to be managed to come December.
- 15:50Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I agree.
- 15:51Speaker 2: I think probably from a parents' perspective, they've run out
- 15:54Speaker 2: of options of what to do to try and protect
- 15:56Speaker 2: their kids online.
- 15:57Speaker 3: I do agree. My concern is, I guess this big
- 16:00Speaker 3: brother for all of us. But I guess we'll wait
- 16:02Speaker 3: and see.
- 16:03Speaker 2: Interesting though, Claire Meta has also just implemented global restrictions
- 16:07Speaker 2: for Instagram users age between thirteen and eighteen, restricting teams
- 16:11Speaker 2: from viewing violent and adult content and introducing parental control capabilities.
- 16:16Speaker 3: Do you think that this is a better approach? Will
- 16:20Speaker 3: this work better? What do you think?
- 16:22Speaker 12: Well?
- 16:22Speaker 8: I think we can have both.
- 16:23Speaker 11: I mean, if Meta are tightening restrictions and filtering out
- 16:26Speaker 11: adult content, I mean that is.
- 16:28Speaker 8: Just sensible, but it is long overdue.
- 16:31Speaker 11: I mean, I think tech companies are doing this because
- 16:34Speaker 11: they finally have been pressured from governance. They didn't do
- 16:37Speaker 11: it voluntarily. And I think it's important to remember from
- 16:40Speaker 11: my perspective, it's one of the biggest stages is not
- 16:43Speaker 11: what kids are seeing online, it's what they're not doing
- 16:47Speaker 11: when they're online. Okay, so they're not sleeping properly, they're
- 16:49Speaker 11: not moving, they're not socializing, they're not developing basic boredom techniques.
- 16:55Speaker 11: By the way, adults are getting pretty bad at this
- 16:57Speaker 11: as well. Creativity is going down, etc. So those are
- 17:01Speaker 11: the impacts that I'm concerned about about kids being online.
- 17:04Speaker 11: And even if they're seeing content that's filtered for inappropriate
- 17:09Speaker 11: adult content, they're still glued on there because the platforms
- 17:14Speaker 11: are designed for addiction.
- 17:16Speaker 8: Your attention is the product.
- 17:19Speaker 11: And so I'd love to live in a world where
- 17:21Speaker 11: we can have both have age restrictions on social media.
- 17:24Speaker 11: And yep, Better should be doing what they should have
- 17:26Speaker 11: done years ago and tightened up what they're feeding to
- 17:30Speaker 11: young people.
- 17:31Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I look absolutely I completely agree. Now, Claire,
- 17:35Speaker 2: You've written a really great piece in news court papers
- 17:38Speaker 2: today that school gender transition rules are negligence sold as compassion,
- 17:43Speaker 2: and you said it's chaos masquerading as care after it
- 17:47Speaker 2: was revealed that the Allen Labor government and Victorian state
- 17:50Speaker 2: schools are enabling children to socially transition their gender without
- 17:54Speaker 2: parental consent, medical oversight, or documentation, which I just find
- 17:59Speaker 2: appslutely staggering that this is going on.
- 18:02Speaker 3: I actually think clear that this is criminal.
- 18:04Speaker 2: A child should never ever be allowed to make a
- 18:07Speaker 2: life altering decision like this.
- 18:09Speaker 3: How negligent is it?
- 18:11Speaker 11: Yeah, well, I think negligence, I use, but it's probably
- 18:14Speaker 11: a gross understatement. I think we're seeing the complete abandonment
- 18:18Speaker 11: of duty of care from the state. I mean, the
- 18:20Speaker 11: Victorian government has effectively told teachers, who are not clinicians
- 18:25Speaker 11: in this area at all, they can facilitate something as
- 18:28Speaker 11: profound as a gender transition without involving parents. And I
- 18:34Speaker 11: think it is absolutely the dismantling of parental authority, no
- 18:38Speaker 11: medical input, it doesn't even require documentation.
- 18:43Speaker 8: I mean that is extraordinary.
- 18:46Speaker 11: And people do say to me sometimes, look, what's the
- 18:48Speaker 11: harm in just calling a child by their preferred pronouns,
- 18:52Speaker 11: by their preferred name, And I would argue that social
- 18:56Speaker 11: transition is not some neutral act.
- 18:59Speaker 8: When a child is a firmed.
- 19:00Speaker 11: At school with the new name, new pronouns, and the
- 19:02Speaker 11: way they present it very much reinforces that identity, and
- 19:07Speaker 11: for a lot of young children, it's very hard to
- 19:10Speaker 11: then step out of that and maybe say I was
- 19:13Speaker 11: wrong if they do change their minds.
- 19:16Speaker 8: So you're right, it is.
- 19:17Speaker 11: A life defining decision that's being made on the school
- 19:21Speaker 11: grounds by adults who are completely unqualified to assess this
- 19:27Speaker 11: child's broader mental health.
- 19:29Speaker 8: And we know most kids struggling with.
- 19:31Speaker 11: Gender identity disorders also have comorbid mental health disorders. They
- 19:36Speaker 11: have trauma that they're on the autism spectrum, depression, anxiety,
- 19:41Speaker 11: So there's are complex presentations that require proper clinical attention.
- 19:47Speaker 8: And I think parents absolutely over the country should know
- 19:51Speaker 8: that this.
- 19:51Speaker 11: Legislation will exclude them from that process.
- 19:55Speaker 2: And once again, you know, I mean we're saying kids
- 19:58Speaker 2: indoctrinated in classrooms because of it gender ideology.
- 20:01Speaker 3: Parents have no say in it. Now.
- 20:02Speaker 2: The I just think it's extraordinary. And Claire, as a
- 20:05Speaker 2: child psychologist yourself, what are the longer term implications of this?
- 20:10Speaker 2: I mean, if a child is able, well they can't
- 20:11Speaker 2: even vote, they can't drive, yet they allowed to you know,
- 20:14Speaker 2: socially transitioned change their gender or whatever. Then later down
- 20:18Speaker 2: in life they're so confused. What are the implications.
- 20:22Speaker 11: Well, we're seeing this now, and we should shed more
- 20:26Speaker 11: light on all the research that's coming out from the
- 20:29Speaker 11: the transitioners, the ones who are now staying at twenty
- 20:32Speaker 11: five thirty years old, that I was confused at twelve.
- 20:37Speaker 11: I thought I was the other gender, and no one
- 20:39Speaker 11: stopped to investigate the history of abuse I had. No
- 20:43Speaker 11: one stopped to investigate the other mental health issues, the
- 20:47Speaker 11: high conflict divorced, my parents were going through, the situational
- 20:50Speaker 11: violence I had experienced.
- 20:52Speaker 8: So we are.
- 20:53Speaker 11: Seeing lifelong decisions being made by children who, as you said,
- 20:57Speaker 11: we accept that children and can't decide to get a tattoo,
- 21:01Speaker 11: to drink alcohol, to drive a car, to make any
- 21:04Speaker 11: decision that impacts.
- 21:06Speaker 8: On them in a long term way.
- 21:07Speaker 11: So we need some just life reality, practical common sense
- 21:12Speaker 11: put back into the conversation, and we just seem to
- 21:16Speaker 11: be so hijacked on this ideological stance. It will ruin lives.
- 21:22Speaker 11: It will absolutely ruin lives. It has ruined lives, and
- 21:25Speaker 11: we need to stop it.
- 21:27Speaker 3: I completely agree with you.
- 21:28Speaker 2: It's actually quite sad to see Clara nice to see
- 21:31Speaker 2: it as always.
- 21:31Speaker 3: Thanks very much for your time. Still to come.
- 21:34Speaker 2: Lefties Losing It plus Donald Trump lashes an ABC reporter
- 21:38Speaker 2: after the network cut off the Vice President during a
- 21:41Speaker 2: weekend interview. Mi Horowitz will join me next, and now
- 21:50Speaker 2: it's time for Lefties Losing it and we're going to
- 21:53Speaker 2: start with a clip that I am sure we'll get
- 21:55Speaker 2: all of the lefties in a spin. Actress Kira Knightley
- 21:58Speaker 2: is now the MVP in my view for taking on
- 22:01Speaker 2: the forever winging trans brigade.
- 22:05Speaker 13: I saw your voicing, Professor Umbridge in the new Harry
- 22:08Speaker 13: Harry Potter audiobooks.
- 22:09Speaker 14: I was worrying.
- 22:09Speaker 13: Are you aware that some fans are calling for a
- 22:12Speaker 13: boycott giving jk Rowlan's ongoing campaign against trans people.
- 22:16Speaker 3: I was not aware of that.
- 22:17Speaker 8: No, I'm very sorry.
- 22:21Speaker 15: You know, I think we're all living in a period
- 22:23Speaker 15: of time right now. We're all going to have to
- 22:25Speaker 15: figure out how to live together, aren't we, And we've
- 22:28Speaker 15: all got very different opinions, so I hope that we
- 22:31Speaker 15: can all find respect.
- 22:34Speaker 2: Bravo, and look, the trans blackmail's backfiring, isn't it. It's done,
- 22:39Speaker 2: jog On. Well done to Kira Knightley. Well done. Now,
- 22:43Speaker 2: Rosie O'Donnell has unfortunately graced us all down Under with
- 22:46Speaker 2: her presence in the last week. I know Rest in
- 22:49Speaker 2: Peace asked the Sita that she bugers off the better.
- 22:51Speaker 2: But guess what, or guess who she's been talking about
- 22:55Speaker 2: the entire time.
- 22:56Speaker 14: I know, you know did He is the free of smart, informed,
- 23:02Speaker 14: strong women, and you know he thinks women are to
- 23:06Speaker 14: be abused, to be grabbed by the pussy, as he said.
- 23:10Speaker 14: I thought when that happened that that would be it
- 23:12Speaker 14: for him. You know, I remember when Gary Hart had
- 23:16Speaker 14: a girl sit on his lap, a grown woman, not
- 23:18Speaker 14: a child, and that was the end of his candidacy.
- 23:23Speaker 14: And here he is saying what he says and being
- 23:25Speaker 14: who he is, and I think that strong women scare
- 23:29Speaker 14: him and infuriate him. And I'm one of them now.
- 23:33Speaker 2: Of course, in case it wasn't clear enough, she's talking
- 23:36Speaker 2: about Donald Trump.
- 23:38Speaker 3: Look, someone get this woman some help.
- 23:40Speaker 2: Seriously, the woman is deranged, she's sad and just really
- 23:44Speaker 2: playing stupid now to former President Barack Obama, because Donald
- 23:48Speaker 2: Trump's actually also having a real tedious effect on him,
- 23:51Speaker 2: it seems. Please BARAQ take some time out, mate.
- 23:56Speaker 10: I mean, what was unusual for me, was a lot
- 24:03Speaker 10: of what I represented, a lot of what Michelle and
- 24:08Speaker 10: I had tried to project the values are thinking about America.
- 24:19Speaker 10: My successor seemed to represent the opposite, not seemed didn't.
- 24:26Speaker 10: And so I think there was a lot of anger,
- 24:30Speaker 10: a lot of sadness, some fear among a big chunk
- 24:36Speaker 10: of the country.
- 24:38Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what's funny.
- 24:39Speaker 2: I mean he said his successor represented the opposite of
- 24:41Speaker 2: what he and Michelle stood for. Well, is not wrong,
- 24:44Speaker 2: and thank goodness for it. Look how much Donald Trump
- 24:46Speaker 2: has achieved. But seriously, Barack, give it up.
- 24:51Speaker 10: I've become increasingly concerned about the rising wave of authoritarianism
- 24:54Speaker 10: sweeping the globe. We're seeing politicians target civil society and
- 25:00Speaker 10: freedom of the press, weaponize the justice system, and no
- 25:05Speaker 10: one is being spared. Even countries that thought they were
- 25:09Speaker 10: immune from wholesale assaults on democracy now understand. We're all
- 25:13Speaker 10: part of this struggle. That's an enormous challenge.
- 25:18Speaker 2: Yeah, because everything was just so peachey under the Obama rain.
- 25:22Speaker 2: At least he knows he will always have one fan
- 25:25Speaker 2: to keep cheering him on.
- 25:27Speaker 16: Donald Trump wants to screw up Obama's legacy. This is
- 25:32Speaker 16: all about Donald Trump being the small, petty man that
- 25:35Speaker 16: he is, and he doesn't want Obama to have that legacy.
- 25:40Speaker 2: Sonny always delivers, doesn't she, right on que, right on
- 25:43Speaker 2: Q when the Dems need her the most. Now to
- 25:46Speaker 2: TDS afflected lefty actor Martin Sheen, who should probably actually
- 25:50Speaker 2: just stick to his day job.
- 25:52Speaker 17: So the big guy in the White House, if he
- 25:55Speaker 17: would take some personal advice. You've got to realize, sir,
- 25:58Speaker 17: that you are the biggest nunh thing in the world.
- 26:02Speaker 17: And Sarah, you stop there, You stop listening to all
- 26:10Speaker 17: these people around you, these sick offense who are encouraging
- 26:15Speaker 17: you to be your non human self. Get in touch
- 26:18Speaker 17: with that humanity. Stop fussing with your hair, and don't
- 26:21Speaker 17: worry about your child, and stand up straight and speak clearly,
- 26:25Speaker 17: not from your throat, speak from your heart, and start
- 26:28Speaker 17: being human. That's what you were made for, not golf.
- 26:33Speaker 2: Look, this guy's a diabolical clown. Trump is out there,
- 26:36Speaker 2: broker in piece. Can anyone name ten of Martin Sheen's
- 26:40Speaker 2: best movies?
- 26:41Speaker 3: Waiting? Please? No.
- 26:44Speaker 2: Now over to the deranged and tiresome UK Labor Party,
- 26:47Speaker 2: which is now boring us all with claims that the
- 26:49Speaker 2: British flag makes people a wee bit queasy.
- 26:54Speaker 18: Then I see flags pizza or radebelts. That is just
- 26:57Speaker 18: a bit weird, you know, because you've seen it online
- 27:02Speaker 18: and I see it by a box that this does
- 27:05Speaker 18: make people feel uneasy. And they asked, what message are
- 27:09Speaker 18: these flags supposed to be sending?
- 27:12Speaker 2: I mean, it's the rehearse script, the walk, the hands,
- 27:16Speaker 2: I mean, the left of just the tiresome, aren't they.
- 27:18Speaker 2: It is quite draining, and unfortunately it gets worse.
- 27:23Speaker 3: Now.
- 27:23Speaker 18: Look, I'll take people up their words, people who say
- 27:26Speaker 18: this is about national pride. I'm proud of white country too,
- 27:30Speaker 18: and I'm proud of our flag, but I do understand
- 27:34Speaker 18: why others feel that it's about excluding people.
- 27:39Speaker 2: It starts now look now, look, he says, Look, if
- 27:42Speaker 2: these loonies think that the national flag is so bad,
- 27:45Speaker 2: the door's open.
- 27:46Speaker 3: Off you go bye.
- 27:48Speaker 2: And now to the dangerously dumb lefties who are still
- 27:51Speaker 2: sooking over ice.
- 27:53Speaker 19: Why aren't we shooting back at them?
- 27:55Speaker 5: Can anybody explain that to me?
- 27:57Speaker 3: What?
- 27:57Speaker 19: Like, I don't own a firearm, but if I saw it,
- 28:01Speaker 19: brick right to their home, So why are the armed
- 28:05Speaker 19: citizens not shooting back at them?
- 28:11Speaker 1: Just a question.
- 28:13Speaker 2: Welk with luck with that one. And now to this
- 28:15Speaker 2: liberal woman who, uh, look, just have a look.
- 28:19Speaker 12: Even with DEI, people with disabilities, people of color, and
- 28:26Speaker 12: women and female presenting LGBTQ have had to work hundreds
- 28:37Speaker 12: of times harder.
- 28:38Speaker 8: Than white men. White men are unqualified for any position
- 28:45Speaker 8: of power.
- 28:48Speaker 12: Because they never had to work for it in their lives.
- 28:53Speaker 4: We need to get rid of the real DEI hires
- 28:58Speaker 4: the white men.
- 29:01Speaker 2: Joining me now is filmmaker and commentator Armie Horowitz. Army,
- 29:04Speaker 2: nice to see you, Thanks for joining me. Donald Trump
- 29:07Speaker 2: has awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest
- 29:10Speaker 2: civilian honor, to murdered conservative activist Charlie Kirk on what
- 29:14Speaker 2: would have been his thirty second birthday. At a ceremony
- 29:17Speaker 2: at the White House, President Trump told the story about
- 29:19Speaker 2: the time Charlie Kirk told him that he was going
- 29:22Speaker 2: to marry his wife, Erica.
- 29:23Speaker 3: Have a listen.
- 29:25Speaker 20: I was with him before I met Erica, and he
- 29:29Speaker 20: told me he was going to get married. He said,
- 29:31Speaker 20: you won't believe how beautiful she is. I said, well, then,
- 29:37Speaker 20: now that I meet it, he's right. But then he
- 29:39Speaker 20: also said, and you know what, she's like the smartest
- 29:42Speaker 20: person I know. See, they do go together on occasion,
- 29:47Speaker 20: not often, not often, but on occasion they go together.
- 29:53Speaker 3: Army.
- 29:53Speaker 2: Charlie and Erica had such a beautiful love story. But
- 29:56Speaker 2: how poignant is this posthumous award?
- 30:01Speaker 21: I mean so poignant, so appropriate, so lovely, so glad
- 30:06Speaker 21: he did it, and of course so deserving. Yeah, look,
- 30:10Speaker 21: Charlie Kirk deserves every bit of what he's getting posthumously,
- 30:15Speaker 21: and of course what he got while.
- 30:17Speaker 1: He was alive.
- 30:17Speaker 21: I mean, the man was a force of nature and
- 30:23Speaker 21: just you know, look, he and I were not close friends.
- 30:26Speaker 21: We were certainly friendly, and we spent time together and
- 30:29Speaker 21: we worked together. And you know, I remember the first
- 30:32Speaker 21: time I met him. He was he was a teenager, eighteen,
- 30:36Speaker 21: nineteen years old, maybe twenty, and you can tell somebody
- 30:41Speaker 21: introduced me to him, and he just started.
- 30:43Speaker 1: Going We didn't even know each other, we never met
- 30:45Speaker 1: each other, and.
- 30:46Speaker 21: He just kept going into this you know, this, this
- 30:49Speaker 21: this dialogue of what he wanted to do, what do
- 30:52Speaker 21: you want to accomplish? And you could tell from the
- 30:55Speaker 21: first moment that this guy was going was destined for
- 30:59Speaker 21: huge things. Had not been cut down by an assassin's bullet.
- 31:02Speaker 21: The sky was the limited what he could have accomplished.
- 31:05Speaker 21: And even the first time met him, he was so
- 31:07Speaker 21: generous to me and wanted to help me, even though
- 31:10Speaker 21: he was there for doing things for himself. Is creating
- 31:13Speaker 21: turning point. Yeah, I could not think of a more
- 31:16Speaker 21: appropriate way to celebrate what it would have been Charlie's birthday.
- 31:20Speaker 21: So yeah, God bless Charlie Kirk and God blessed Trump.
- 31:24Speaker 3: Look, I completely agree. I think you're spot on. He
- 31:27Speaker 3: deserves every and all accolade that he gets because he
- 31:30Speaker 3: truly was a remarkable man.
- 31:32Speaker 2: So I think this is just such an important accolade. Look,
- 31:35Speaker 2: let's move on, army, because Donald Trump has ripped into
- 31:38Speaker 2: the ABC refusing a reporter's question at a press conference.
- 31:42Speaker 3: Have a look.
- 31:44Speaker 22: First of all, congratulations questions from ABC fakeers after what
- 31:51Speaker 22: you did with Stephanopoulos to the Vice President of the
- 31:54Speaker 22: United States. I don't take questions from ABC fakeers, Brian,
- 31:58Speaker 22: go ahead.
- 31:59Speaker 3: Now look for background.
- 32:00Speaker 2: What happened was host of This Week George Stephanopolis abruptly
- 32:04Speaker 2: ended an interview with JD. Vans at the weekend after
- 32:07Speaker 2: the Vice President did not directly answer a question about
- 32:09Speaker 2: bribery allegations against borders. Tom Homan mean, look good on Trump.
- 32:14Speaker 2: The liberal media are an absolute disgrace.
- 32:18Speaker 21: Uh, there's ABC and the most legacy media is just
- 32:24Speaker 21: so tired, right, I mean.
- 32:27Speaker 1: They just don't get it.
- 32:28Speaker 21: And look, Trump be trumpet right, Trump put ABC a timeout.
- 32:31Speaker 21: It's what he does. What do you expect? Right, That's
- 32:33Speaker 21: just the way, It's what he does. And now I'll
- 32:37Speaker 21: get to why I said most legacy media in a second,
- 32:39Speaker 21: but just to address for a moment why he was upset, right,
- 32:43Speaker 21: you talked about you referenced the interview with Jenny Vance
- 32:46Speaker 21: and Stephaloplis. Look, it's unbelievable. First of all, this is
- 32:51Speaker 21: the vice president of the United States come into an
- 32:54Speaker 21: interview with you. You try to be I would think, well,
- 32:57Speaker 21: we'll try to be extra careful. I deal with the
- 33:01Speaker 21: city vice president. But of course he wasn't.
- 33:03Speaker 1: But he.
- 33:05Speaker 21: Was mad because jd Vance didn't want to answer a
- 33:09Speaker 21: difficult question. I mean, this is politician one O one
- 33:12Speaker 21: when it comes to sitting down for an interview and
- 33:14Speaker 21: not answering somebody you're being asked. Of course, he kind
- 33:18Speaker 21: of evaded in dodge. It's kind of course, that's what
- 33:21Speaker 21: you do when you're a politician and you were asked
- 33:23Speaker 21: a question you don't want to answer, and you think
- 33:27Speaker 21: he's done that with a single Democratic politician because they
- 33:31Speaker 21: all do it right.
- 33:32Speaker 1: The answer is, of.
- 33:33Speaker 21: Course zero, He's never done that the democratic politician. They
- 33:36Speaker 21: would only do that to a Republican politician. And the
- 33:40Speaker 21: reason why I said most of the legacy media because
- 33:42Speaker 21: you now see something interesting happening with CBS. So David
- 33:46Speaker 21: Ellison sky dance. David Elison is the son of the
- 33:48Speaker 21: second richest man on Earth, Larry Ellison, bought Paramount, and
- 33:52Speaker 21: with Paramount came CBS, and he's done some really fascinating
- 33:58Speaker 21: interesting things which I think are belus. First of all
- 34:01Speaker 21: under the radar, but extremely significant move is he brought
- 34:06Speaker 21: on a guy named Keith Weinstein as the bootsman for CBS.
- 34:12Speaker 21: And that's a very important position because it deals with
- 34:16Speaker 21: the even haddenedness of the network and their complaints about
- 34:20Speaker 21: the network straying one way or another way. It goes
- 34:23Speaker 21: to that position. Keith is an amazing guy. He's gonna
- 34:25Speaker 21: do an amazing job there. I know him well. And
- 34:29Speaker 21: of course, electing Barry Weiss as the head of CBS News,
- 34:32Speaker 21: the editor in chief of the CBS News is an
- 34:35Speaker 21: unbelievable game changer for that network.
- 34:37Speaker 1: It really really is.
- 34:39Speaker 21: And look, we'll see what happens with CBS News and
- 34:41Speaker 21: the radius. Hopefully other people follow suit.
- 34:43Speaker 1: I doubt it.
- 34:44Speaker 21: This is obviously coming from David Ellison, from the top,
- 34:47Speaker 21: from the owner, because all the staffers are grousy. Complaining
- 34:50Speaker 21: in the media is of course attacking the choice. But
- 34:52Speaker 21: it's wonderful and maybe it pretends things are changing.
- 34:56Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I completely agree.
- 34:58Speaker 2: I'll just think that that they should have given the
- 35:01Speaker 2: vice president a chance, and they did, and I thought
- 35:03Speaker 2: it was a disgrace.
- 35:04Speaker 3: So good on Donald Trump.
- 35:06Speaker 2: Now, Amy, I want to ask you about Donald Trump's
- 35:07Speaker 2: Gaza Pea steel. The President has vowed to disarm HUMAUS
- 35:11Speaker 2: after the group was seen executing suspected collaborators in Gaza
- 35:15Speaker 2: overnight in an attempt to regain control.
- 35:17Speaker 3: But here was Trump earlier, how long will.
- 35:22Speaker 8: And take Hamas to disarm?
- 35:23Speaker 3: And can you guarantee that is going to happen?
- 35:25Speaker 22: We're going to disarm and because they said they were
- 35:28Speaker 22: going to disarm, and if they don't disarm, we will
- 35:30Speaker 22: disarm them.
- 35:32Speaker 8: How are you doing that?
- 35:33Speaker 5: I don't have to explain that to you.
- 35:35Speaker 22: But if they don't disarm, we will disarm them. They
- 35:37Speaker 22: know I'm not playing games.
- 35:40Speaker 3: So army.
- 35:40Speaker 2: Donald Trump has got the hostages free. That's the first step.
- 35:43Speaker 2: But how big of a challenge will it now be
- 35:45Speaker 2: to actually fully disarm hermas?
- 35:49Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 35:49Speaker 21: So, no shade to Maria Machado, the Venezuelan politician who
- 35:55Speaker 21: has fought against Maduro and Chavez. I'm sure she's wonderful,
- 35:59Speaker 21: She's great, But only one person should have won the
- 36:02Speaker 21: Nobel Prize, and that's Donald Trump. Forget about the rest
- 36:05Speaker 21: of the world. He has reshaped the Middle East.
- 36:09Speaker 8: Uh.
- 36:10Speaker 1: You know when when when? When Israel denuded?
- 36:13Speaker 21: Hasbolah killed Jasbollah's leadership?
- 36:17Speaker 1: Uh?
- 36:18Speaker 21: Biden screeched and hollered right and attacked Israel for doing so.
- 36:23Speaker 1: When Israel bombed Iran? What did Trump do? He joined
- 36:26Speaker 1: in the fund.
- 36:27Speaker 21: That's the contrast of these two leaders and dealing with
- 36:30Speaker 21: the Middle East and in one with the first president,
- 36:34Speaker 21: President Biden, we had this this war going on for
- 36:38Speaker 21: two years with Gaza and with the current president Donald Trump,
- 36:42Speaker 21: he has reshaped the Middle East. Will just setting up
- 36:46Speaker 21: the entire region for peace. Now, having said that, when
- 36:51Speaker 21: it comes to Hamas and the starring them, I kind
- 36:53Speaker 21: of feel like he's walking to the same trap that
- 36:56Speaker 21: the YAHOO did when now laid out is one of
- 36:59Speaker 21: the goals was the elimination of Hamas well. The problem
- 37:02Speaker 21: is that it's not it's not really an achievable goal.
- 37:05Speaker 21: That's the problem.
- 37:06Speaker 1: Okay.
- 37:07Speaker 21: And when you lay out one of your strategies one
- 37:10Speaker 21: of your goals as doing that, you're you're setting up
- 37:14Speaker 21: for failure, which is what he did on the Hamas R.
- 37:16Speaker 21: Hamas is still there. They haven't gone anywhere. Sure, they've
- 37:19Speaker 21: killed leadership. Hamas is not just a terrorist organization, which
- 37:22Speaker 21: it is, and the head of a government in the
- 37:24Speaker 21: head of the government in Gaza, which it is. It's
- 37:26Speaker 21: also an ideology. You can't disarm an ideology. And while
- 37:31Speaker 21: they've made incredible inroads in killing people in Gaza who
- 37:35Speaker 21: are Hamas, the problem is Hamas is much wider than Gaza.
- 37:38Speaker 21: So when I was recently in the West Bank and
- 37:40Speaker 21: I was talking to people in the West Bank, there
- 37:42Speaker 21: wasn't a single person I came across who's under forty
- 37:45Speaker 21: who doesn't support Camas. Okay, Hamas has incredible traction in
- 37:50Speaker 21: the West Bank as well, and there's a reason why
- 37:52Speaker 21: there has not been an election in the West Bank
- 37:54Speaker 21: for over twenty years because they know the Greens.
- 37:57Speaker 1: Hamas would win that election going away.
- 38:01Speaker 21: So it's look, disarming the entire terrorist organization like that
- 38:05Speaker 21: is a difficult goal.
- 38:07Speaker 1: I'm not sure it's frankly achievable.
- 38:10Speaker 21: But if anybody could do it, I mean I'm not
- 38:12Speaker 21: gonna I'm not gonna bet against Presidentrump.
- 38:14Speaker 2: No, I agree, if anyone can do it, I mean,
- 38:16Speaker 2: he's already pulled off what many could not achieve at
- 38:19Speaker 2: So let's see what happens from now on. Now, look
- 38:21Speaker 2: the C and n's chief international anchor, Christine Ammanpau. She's
- 38:25Speaker 2: apologized after suggesting that Israeli hostages held by Hamas probably
- 38:29Speaker 2: we're probably being treated better than the average garzen.
- 38:32Speaker 3: And have a look at what she said.
- 38:34Speaker 23: It's been a terrible, terrible two years for them because
- 38:37Speaker 23: not only are they there, you know, they're probably been
- 38:40Speaker 23: treated better than the average garden because they are the
- 38:43Speaker 23: pawns and the chips that Hamas had. Now Hamas has
- 38:46Speaker 23: given up all its leverage by the way.
- 38:49Speaker 3: She's a disgrace, And here was her apology.
- 38:52Speaker 23: I regret also saying that they might have been treated
- 38:55Speaker 23: better than many Gazans because Hamas used these hostages as
- 38:59Speaker 23: pawns and bargaining ships. But that was insensitive and it
- 39:02Speaker 23: was wrong. From speaking to many formal hostages and their families,
- 39:07Speaker 23: Like everyone, I've been horrified at what Hamas has subjected
- 39:10Speaker 23: them to over two long years.
- 39:13Speaker 3: You know, Ami too a little too late. She's lost
- 39:16Speaker 3: all credibility.
- 39:17Speaker 2: How did she not know in the first instance that
- 39:18Speaker 2: there is a very big difference between a hostage taking
- 39:21Speaker 2: bunch of evil jahadis versus the actual hostages themselves.
- 39:27Speaker 21: Yeah, I mean you're giving her too much credit. She
- 39:28Speaker 21: didn't lose her credibility. She hasn't had credibility in years.
- 39:31Speaker 1: I mean she's I.
- 39:32Speaker 21: Would say she's a disgrace a journalists, but she's not
- 39:34Speaker 21: a journalist. Okay, Look, yeah, if she said one thing
- 39:40Speaker 21: once and made a mistake, I could forgive. This is
- 39:44Speaker 21: a long track record with her, Okay. Just by the way,
- 39:47Speaker 21: just for the record, so we're clear, the mistreatment of
- 39:52Speaker 21: the hostages is legion. In terms of the food that
- 39:56Speaker 21: they're goun Yeah, they look better now because as they said,
- 39:59Speaker 21: they were given food to the run up to being released,
- 40:02Speaker 21: because they knew these images were gonna come out. The
- 40:04Speaker 21: story you're talking about just the food alone, talking about
- 40:07Speaker 21: there within they shared a small tin of tuna and
- 40:10Speaker 21: a few bits of cheese with.
- 40:11Speaker 1: A group of people. They were getting a.
- 40:13Speaker 21: Piza a day at one one one one one person
- 40:18Speaker 21: becausemember they're all being held in different places. That he
- 40:20Speaker 21: got one biscuit, small little cookie a day and some
- 40:23Speaker 21: briny water, and that they got a cucumber as a
- 40:27Speaker 21: treat if things were going well.
- 40:30Speaker 1: And and and that.
- 40:31Speaker 21: Doesn't that that's just the food situation, but psychological damage done.
- 40:35Speaker 1: To these people is it's it's it's horrifying. I mean,
- 40:39Speaker 1: just I mean, this is one of the worst stories
- 40:41Speaker 1: ever heard.
- 40:42Speaker 3: Is Uh.
- 40:44Speaker 21: This Roch one of the hostages who was released early
- 40:46Speaker 21: on on the second year anniversary.
- 40:49Speaker 1: We just just had right.
- 40:50Speaker 21: Uh, he committed suicide because he said he just could
- 40:54Speaker 21: not bear the psychological burden that he had. But no,
- 40:58Speaker 21: she is a disgraceful person. And again long track record.
- 41:03Speaker 21: I mean she called Marwan Bargutis compared him to Mandela
- 41:06Speaker 21: barn Burguti is a terrorist engaged killed, murdered five or
- 41:12Speaker 21: six Israelis. Okay, she said that there was a rabbi
- 41:18Speaker 21: who lost his wife and his daughters who were murdered
- 41:21Speaker 21: by Palestinians, and she called it a shootout right when
- 41:25Speaker 21: they were unarmed and murdered.
- 41:27Speaker 1: By these people.
- 41:28Speaker 21: Now this is who she stands for. This is nothing new.
- 41:30Speaker 21: So she gets no quarter from.
- 41:32Speaker 2: Me, no shocks that she still has a job to
- 41:35Speaker 2: be quite frank unbelievable. Now, look, Senate Democrats have blocked
- 41:39Speaker 2: the GOP's efforts to reopen for an eighth time. So
- 41:42Speaker 2: this is now the day fourteen of the government shutdown.
- 41:44Speaker 2: And have a listen to some of the dems bizarre demands.
- 41:47Speaker 2: Here's the spaker, Mike Johnson blasting them.
- 41:50Speaker 24: They want to spend twenty four point six million of
- 41:53Speaker 24: your hard earned dollars as a taxpayer for climate resilience
- 41:56Speaker 24: in Honduras. They want to spend thirteen point four million
- 42:00Speaker 24: or civic engagement in Zimbabwe. They want to send three
- 42:03Speaker 24: point nine million for LGBTQI plus democracy grants and the
- 42:08Speaker 24: Western Balkans. They want to spend two point nine million
- 42:11Speaker 24: of your dollars for desert locust risk reduction in the
- 42:15Speaker 24: Horn of Africa and two million for quote organizing for
- 42:19Speaker 24: feminist democratic Principles in Africa.
- 42:22Speaker 3: We are not doing that, homie.
- 42:25Speaker 2: We're almost out of time, but very quickly. You just
- 42:27Speaker 2: got make this stuff up.
- 42:28Speaker 3: Can you look.
- 42:30Speaker 21: You're giving thirty If you're not giving thirteen point four
- 42:33Speaker 21: million dollars to Zimbabwe for civic engagement, you're not serious
- 42:36Speaker 21: about running the United States government. Okay, I'm sorry, that's
- 42:40Speaker 21: the truth. No, of course the joke. This is an
- 42:43Speaker 21: unforced error by the Democrats. The longer this thing drags out,
- 42:47Speaker 21: the polls are showing the more blames being assessed to
- 42:50Speaker 21: the Democrats. But they're they're still standing. They have not
- 42:55Speaker 21: gone away from the most importantly this giving illegal immigrants,
- 42:59Speaker 21: illegal aliens Medicare Medicaid benefits through California and other places.
- 43:04Speaker 1: This is still what they're doing. And this is losing.
- 43:06Speaker 1: This is this is a loser for them.
- 43:08Speaker 3: It totally is. It's just unbelievable. Army Horowitz. Nice to
- 43:11Speaker 3: see you as always, Thanks so much for joining us.
- 43:14Speaker 1: What is your pleasure still to come?
- 43:16Speaker 2: Meghan Markele to release a Christmas special for her with
- 43:19Speaker 2: Love Megan series. Spare us please, DD Don Levy has
- 43:24Speaker 2: the details. Next Welcome Back, Well, footage has been released
- 43:32Speaker 2: back to Alec Baldwin crashing his range Rover into a tree,
- 43:35Speaker 2: and what we see in the video doesn't quite line
- 43:38Speaker 2: up with his version of events. Here's what he initially
- 43:41Speaker 2: said about the incident this morning, I was.
- 43:44Speaker 5: In this car accident.
- 43:44Speaker 24: Go cut me off in a truck, big garbage truck
- 43:47Speaker 24: made a garbage truck.
- 43:48Speaker 14: The size of a whale. I've never seen a garbage truck.
- 43:51Speaker 14: It must have been something commercial.
- 43:53Speaker 2: Okay, Now, let's have a look at that dashcam footage
- 43:56Speaker 2: from the garbage truck, because the video appears to show
- 43:59Speaker 2: him try to go around the garbage truck using the shoulder.
- 44:04Speaker 2: Joining me now for more on this is veteran broadcaster
- 44:07Speaker 2: dd dune Levy, d D. He nice to catch up
- 44:10Speaker 2: with you. I don't know about you, but something just
- 44:12Speaker 2: doesn't add up here.
- 44:13Speaker 8: It doesn't look good for Alec, does it.
- 44:16Speaker 7: And look, I don't think there's a legal repercussions to come,
- 44:19Speaker 7: but it certainly blows his version of the story out
- 44:22Speaker 7: of the water.
- 44:23Speaker 8: And I can see what's happened here.
- 44:24Speaker 7: I mean, he really made it sound as the truck
- 44:26Speaker 7: driver had done something dangerous that the truck driver had
- 44:29Speaker 7: somehow got in his way, Whereas what we can see
- 44:32Speaker 7: on that DASHCN footage, the driver pulls at a very slow,
- 44:36Speaker 7: gentle speed out of the side street, and it does
- 44:39Speaker 7: appear that Alec Baldwin has tried to do an illegal
- 44:42Speaker 7: maneuver and somehow get around him.
- 44:44Speaker 8: The thing that I find interesting.
- 44:46Speaker 7: With this footage is when you break suddenly your car
- 44:50Speaker 7: teams to sort of swerve and skid, whereas his car
- 44:53Speaker 7: is just rolling straight into the tree like if you
- 44:55Speaker 7: let the handbrake off.
- 44:57Speaker 8: It doesn't even look as though he has.
- 44:59Speaker 7: Reacted the way we normally would behind the wheel when
- 45:03Speaker 7: he realizes he's in danger. But it looks to me,
- 45:05Speaker 7: in my opinion only is that he was not paying attention.
- 45:09Speaker 7: He suddenly and this is why he's describing this truck
- 45:11Speaker 7: as huge and bigger than a whale and the biggest
- 45:13Speaker 7: thing ever in the entire world. Is I think he
- 45:16Speaker 7: suddenly looked up and banged there. It was because he
- 45:18Speaker 7: wasn't praying proper attention and it's wet and slippery. It's interesting, though,
- 45:23Speaker 7: how this footage got released publicly.
- 45:26Speaker 8: It was given well, it must.
- 45:27Speaker 7: Have been given by the trucking company to Newsmax, which
- 45:30Speaker 7: is a conservative friendly news source, and it didn't go
- 45:36Speaker 7: to TMZ, where generally this sort of footage bobs up.
- 45:40Speaker 7: I do wonder whether perhaps the truck driver a blue
- 45:43Speaker 7: collar worker. Is it much of a stretch to suggest
- 45:45Speaker 7: that perhaps that's a Trump supporter and took it to
- 45:48Speaker 7: a website where he knew he would get a friendly hear,
- 45:51Speaker 7: that's just my conspiracy theory.
- 45:53Speaker 2: I don't mind that conspiracy theory. You might be right,
- 45:56Speaker 2: you might be onto something that DD. Now to some
- 45:58Speaker 2: bizarre news, Megan Mark has revealed that there will be
- 46:01Speaker 2: a season three of her cooking show with Love Meghan,
- 46:04Speaker 2: just in time for Thanksgiving in Christmas. How lucky we
- 46:06Speaker 2: of course that's despite season two being a flop. So
- 46:10Speaker 2: d d a Christmas special? Now she got to teach
- 46:13Speaker 2: us to make Christmas tree ornaments. So I wonder what's
- 46:15Speaker 2: on the agenda?
- 46:17Speaker 14: Yeah?
- 46:17Speaker 7: No, thanks, there's are any one gritch at Christmas? We
- 46:19Speaker 7: don't need the second one, do it. Look, I think
- 46:21Speaker 7: we could see I don't think.
- 46:22Speaker 8: This is a special or a series as such.
- 46:25Speaker 7: It'll just be a special and we could see this
- 46:26Speaker 7: one coming like a freight train coming through a tunnel.
- 46:29Speaker 8: Because she had Chrissy Tagan.
- 46:31Speaker 7: On her last series, and why else would you have
- 46:33Speaker 7: Chrissy Tagan, who's not a very nice person and a
- 46:36Speaker 7: known bully, other than the fact that she's married to
- 46:39Speaker 7: John Legend and was calling out to John in the background.
- 46:42Speaker 7: So it really seemed obvious to me anyway that they
- 46:44Speaker 7: were setting up that there was something coming with Meghan.
- 46:48Speaker 8: Paired with Chrissy Tagan and.
- 46:49Speaker 7: John Legend and him being a musician, there's the opportunity
- 46:52Speaker 7: for some Christmas music. I think that we'll see them
- 46:56Speaker 7: be part of whatever this show is.
- 46:58Speaker 8: She's got to do something. Doesn't she make money?
- 47:00Speaker 7: Because the Netflix steal will not go anywhere once they
- 47:03Speaker 7: clear all that inventory of her as ever, jam, whatever
- 47:07Speaker 7: she's still got sitting around the flowers. It'd be wilted
- 47:09Speaker 7: by now, wouldn't they Once that's all gone, Netflix will
- 47:12Speaker 7: just wipe their hands of her.
- 47:14Speaker 3: Oh look, I seriously hope so.
- 47:16Speaker 2: I mean spare us, please, another ornament, another jam.
- 47:19Speaker 3: It's just it's tiresome. Now. Look, let's talk about Keith Rbert.
- 47:23Speaker 2: He shed a very honest insight into his life in
- 47:26Speaker 2: a pre record interview that took place before his high
- 47:29Speaker 2: profile split from wife Nicole Kidman. In the very first
- 47:32Speaker 2: episode of his new competition reality series, The Road, the
- 47:35Speaker 2: country music star got quite candid as he discussed being
- 47:38Speaker 2: completely lonely and miserable while on tour and being away
- 47:42Speaker 2: from his family. It sounds as though he's been lonely
- 47:45Speaker 2: for quite a while. I just wonder if there's been
- 47:47Speaker 2: trouble brewing for some time.
- 47:49Speaker 11: Well.
- 47:50Speaker 7: I look very closely at what he said, and I
- 47:52Speaker 7: found it interesting that he said, you know, you wake
- 47:54Speaker 7: at three in the morning, and we all know what
- 47:56Speaker 7: that's like if you've ever been away working, you do
- 47:59Speaker 7: feel very good only but he actually says you miss
- 48:02Speaker 7: your friends and family.
- 48:04Speaker 3: In that order.
- 48:04Speaker 7: And now, I don't know about you, but I would
- 48:06Speaker 7: straight away say, you know, I miss my family. Your
- 48:08Speaker 7: friends would be a distant second, or not even you know,
- 48:12Speaker 7: that may be a close second. But it doesn't say
- 48:15Speaker 7: to me that Nicole was top of mind for him,
- 48:18Speaker 7: that his family is what he missed most at that point.
- 48:21Speaker 8: I just I.
- 48:22Speaker 7: Don't like the fact that these little droplets are coming out.
- 48:25Speaker 7: If he's going to enter into a pr war with Nicole,
- 48:28Speaker 7: he's not going to win it because look, I'll be honest,
- 48:31Speaker 7: I barely knew who he was before he and Nicole
- 48:34Speaker 7: became a pair. He's the reason, so she's the reason
- 48:38Speaker 7: that he is a famous at least in my mind anyway.
- 48:41Speaker 7: And she's been very dignified and she will probably have
- 48:45Speaker 7: custody of the children, which tells you more about her
- 48:48Speaker 7: desire to keep the family unit together. But it does
- 48:52Speaker 7: suggest that interview that was filmed before we knew anything
- 48:56Speaker 7: about their split, that he was unhappy for some time.
- 49:00Speaker 3: Yeah, that's very clear now.
- 49:02Speaker 2: UK late night host Graham Norton has recounted an infamous
- 49:04Speaker 2: twenty thirteen episode featuring a very drunk Mark Wahlberg, who
- 49:08Speaker 2: reaped havoc on the show. The actor continuously spoke over
- 49:11Speaker 2: his fellow guests and even sat on Norton's lap at
- 49:14Speaker 2: one point and play with his nipples. Graham Norton said
- 49:16Speaker 2: at the weekend, he told me about his film, told
- 49:18Speaker 2: me a couple of stories about stunts going on, and
- 49:21Speaker 2: that it was only fifteen minutes into the show when
- 49:23Speaker 2: whatever the hell was in his system really took hold.
- 49:25Speaker 3: It was hell, Ddie, we're.
- 49:26Speaker 2: Almost out of time, But I guess you never know
- 49:29Speaker 2: what might happen on a live show, right.
- 49:31Speaker 7: Right, But hey, I thought it was hilarious and Graham
- 49:35Speaker 7: Norton has come off looking like a finger wagging old
- 49:38Speaker 7: funny Duddy. And I would book mark Wahlberg on my
- 49:41Speaker 7: show because if you're going to get entertainment like that,
- 49:43Speaker 7: it's absolutely well worth it.
- 49:45Speaker 3: Yeah. So I love the vision on the screen right now.
- 49:47Speaker 2: I mean, it didn't make for good TV, even though
- 49:49Speaker 2: quite awkward, but it made for good telling. D D Dudley,
- 49:52Speaker 2: nice to see you, Thanks so much for joining me.
- 49:54Speaker 8: Thanks Tanika.
- 49:55Speaker 3: That's it from me up next to his news night,
- 49:57Speaker 3: good Night
- 50:01Speaker 6: Six
