Speaker 1: Jess is the Bulk Report.
0:14
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Bolt Report. I'm Daniciti
0:17
Speaker 2: Giorgio coming up on the show tonight. Fifteen people are
0:20
Speaker 2: dead after a terror attacking you Orleans, and police are
0:23
Speaker 2: investigating another possible attack in Las Vegas. But what do
0:27
Speaker 2: they have in common? Are we witnessing a global into fada?
0:31
Speaker 2: My thoughts shortly? And do we expect anything less from
0:36
Speaker 2: the left? Wait till you see the disgusting remarks that
0:39
Speaker 2: mock the cyber truck explosion in Las Vegas that killed
0:43
Speaker 2: one person and injured multiple others back home, and the
0:47
Speaker 2: Left just can't help themselves either. Climate two hundred founders
0:52
Speaker 2: Simon Holmes, a court has made a shocking claim about
0:54
Speaker 2: Scott Morrison. I'll share that with you very shortly. And
0:59
Speaker 2: what is behind Meghan Markle's dramatic return to Instagram will
1:03
Speaker 2: head to the UK soon, but first tonight. Are we
1:07
Speaker 2: witnessing a global into fada? The same global into fada,
1:12
Speaker 2: the same uprising which we have heard preached across the
1:16
Speaker 2: globe for the last fourteen months by terror sympathizers who
1:20
Speaker 2: want the West to fall. Overnight, at least fifteen people
1:24
Speaker 2: were killed when they were mowed down at high speed
1:27
Speaker 2: by a man who drove his truck into crowds in
1:30
Speaker 2: New Orleans. He has been identified as Shamsu Dingjabar. The
1:35
Speaker 2: FBI says he was inspired by Islamic State and was
1:39
Speaker 2: quote hell bent on carnage.
1:43
Speaker 3: And it was very intentional our behavior. This man was
1:47
Speaker 3: trying to run over as many people as he possibly could.
1:51
Speaker 3: This perpetrator who went around our bear page in order
1:57
Speaker 3: to conduct us, he was on creating the carnage and
2:03
Speaker 3: the damage that he did.
2:06
Speaker 2: The attack happened on the busy and well known Bourbon
2:09
Speaker 2: Street wheen New Year's revelers were having the time of
2:12
Speaker 2: their lives. The FBI says Shamsu Dingjabbar was a recent
2:16
Speaker 2: convert to Islam and believe he was not acting alone.
2:20
Speaker 2: In fact, they found weapons and explosives in his vehicle,
2:24
Speaker 2: and authorities are also investigating whether a massive explosion in
2:28
Speaker 2: a Tesla cyber truck outside a Las Vegas hotel owned
2:31
Speaker 2: by Donald Trump is connected to that terrorist attack. Now,
2:35
Speaker 2: let's be clear, the West is not next. Terror is
2:41
Speaker 2: happening in the West now, In fact, it has been
2:45
Speaker 2: happening for some time, and who is to blame. Western
2:50
Speaker 2: countries have done this to themselves by refusing to call
2:54
Speaker 2: out extremism and refusing to shut down the hate and
2:59
Speaker 2: threats viewed on our streets by terror sympathizers. The warning
3:04
Speaker 2: signs have been there for a long time, but they
3:06
Speaker 2: have been ignored. This was entirely predictable. Since October seven,
3:12
Speaker 2: pro Palestine protesters have taken over the streets they excused
3:16
Speaker 2: and tried to justify the murder and slaughter of innocent Jews.
3:21
Speaker 2: In places like Europe and the US, it has been
3:24
Speaker 2: even more menacing and intimidating. Flags of terror groups have
3:29
Speaker 2: been waived so brazenly in the streets. Here at home
3:33
Speaker 2: in Australia, we saw the ugly scenes on the steps
3:36
Speaker 2: of the Sydney Opera House, and there are hate preachers
3:39
Speaker 2: who walk among us, who openly and publicly celebrated the
3:44
Speaker 2: massacre on college campuses in the US, American flags were burned.
3:49
Speaker 2: They wanted an uprising, They called for resistance and again
3:53
Speaker 2: a global into fada. Over at Harvard University, they wanted
4:19
Speaker 2: into farda in their own backyard. Inter Farta isn't just
4:36
Speaker 2: some fun throwaway phrase between classmates at universities. It's a
4:41
Speaker 2: rallying call for terror. Inter Farta Arabic for uprising is
4:46
Speaker 2: associated with the Second inter Farda, a period of terror
4:50
Speaker 2: attacks at Israel in the early two thousand, marked by
4:53
Speaker 2: suicide bombings and the rallying call. The rallying cry has
4:58
Speaker 2: been ignored by leaders across the world. When these radicals
5:03
Speaker 2: tell you what they want, believe them, because here we
5:06
Speaker 2: are with an ISIS inspired terror attack in New Orleans.
5:11
Speaker 2: The terrorist, shamsud Din Jabbar, is a US citizen and
5:14
Speaker 2: military veteran from Texas. The FBI says an ISIS flag
5:18
Speaker 2: was located in the vehicle and that the FBI is
5:21
Speaker 2: working to determine the subject's potential associations and affiliations with
5:26
Speaker 2: terrorist organizations. Jabba deliberately went around barricades to get into
5:31
Speaker 2: Bourbon Street and plow into the crowd, occasionally even veering
5:36
Speaker 2: onto sidewalks at high speed. He was intent on running
5:39
Speaker 2: over as many people as he could, and hours before
5:43
Speaker 2: the attack, he posted videos on social media that indicated
5:46
Speaker 2: he was inspired by ISIS and expressed desire to kill
5:52
Speaker 2: He was a terrorist sympathizer. Cops were shot out and
5:57
Speaker 2: explosives detonated. At the same time, this man left behind
6:01
Speaker 2: a trail of carnage. Wake up America and wake up
6:07
Speaker 2: the world. This is what a global into Farda looks like.
6:12
Speaker 2: And if you want more proof, hours later, after the
6:15
Speaker 2: New Orleans terror attack, Pro Palestine supporters took over downtown Manhattan.
6:20
Speaker 2: Can you guess what they called for a global into Farda?
6:24
Speaker 2: They chanted, resistance is glorious, we will be victorious, we
6:29
Speaker 2: will honor all our martyrs. Gaza, you make us proud.
6:34
Speaker 2: And there is only one solution into farda revolution. So
6:40
Speaker 2: not for peace, certainly, not anti war, but for death
6:46
Speaker 2: and violence. And this is what Israel is up against.
6:50
Speaker 2: It's the only country fighting against it and at the
6:53
Speaker 2: same time being persecuted by Western leaders for fighting a
6:57
Speaker 2: battle against terror, not only for itself but for the world.
7:02
Speaker 2: Islamic terrorists have been focused on Israel since October seven,
7:05
Speaker 2: but they haven't forgotten the West. But the West has
7:08
Speaker 2: forgotten about them because of a lack of moral clarity.
7:12
Speaker 2: And let's cut to the chase. When will the West
7:16
Speaker 2: actually call out the problem. It has become a huge
7:21
Speaker 2: issue around the world, and leaders have no courage or
7:24
Speaker 2: no moral clarity to do anything about it. How many
7:27
Speaker 2: more thoughts and prayers will it take? No more tiptoeing
7:31
Speaker 2: around this issue for feared of being called racist or Islamophobic.
7:34
Speaker 2: It's not and we can't sit around and pretend there
7:37
Speaker 2: are people who walk among us who hate this country,
7:41
Speaker 2: hate the country they live in, or the country in
7:43
Speaker 2: which they were welcomed into with open arms to spew
7:46
Speaker 2: their ideology. Now, I'm not saying everyone is a bad apple,
7:50
Speaker 2: but how many more innocent lives are we willing to sacrifice?
7:55
Speaker 2: The security bollards that line Bourbon Street where the attack
7:58
Speaker 2: happened overnight were being replaced at the same time. But
8:01
Speaker 2: what bothers me is why do we have bollards everywhere
8:06
Speaker 2: on roads around the world. What are authorities protecting us
8:10
Speaker 2: from from cars mowing down people in the name of extremism? Again,
8:16
Speaker 2: why won't they name the threat and get this? Despite
8:20
Speaker 2: an ISIS flag being found in the truck, the FBI's
8:23
Speaker 2: first response was to assure America that it was not
8:27
Speaker 2: an act of terror. This is not a terrorist event.
8:31
Speaker 2: What it is right now is there imps explosive devices
8:35
Speaker 2: that was found and we are working on confirming if
8:38
Speaker 2: this a viable device or not. A bloke just goes
8:41
Speaker 2: around with an ISIS flag and a couple of improvised
8:44
Speaker 2: explosive devices. But no, no, no, it can't possibly be terror.
8:48
Speaker 2: The ICE's flag means absolutely nothing. When will they name
8:53
Speaker 2: the threat that exists? And I will say this, We
8:57
Speaker 2: should acknowledge that the peaceful majority of Muslims do live
9:00
Speaker 2: among us, and that is an important distinction. But we
9:03
Speaker 2: can't be blind to the radical pockets of faith or
9:06
Speaker 2: the global into Farda will run us. And right now
9:11
Speaker 2: we are all sitting ducks. Joining me for more is
9:17
Speaker 2: The Daily telegraphs Tim Blair and former New South Wales
9:20
Speaker 2: counter Terrorism and Police minister David Elliott. Hi to you both,
9:24
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for joining me this evening. David
9:27
Speaker 2: will start with you. Since October seven, they have been
9:30
Speaker 2: calls for intero Farda resistance uprising. Now we've got an
9:34
Speaker 2: ISIS inspired terror attack in the US. As a former
9:37
Speaker 2: counter terrorism minister yourself, do you think that this is
9:41
Speaker 2: a one off? Or have we seen this coming for
9:44
Speaker 2: some time? Should more have been done to counter the
9:46
Speaker 2: threat in the first place?
9:48
Speaker 4: No, it's not a one off. I mean everybody who
9:50
Speaker 4: thought that the withdrawal of American and Australian troops from
9:54
Speaker 4: Afghanistan meant the end of the war on terror. Was
9:56
Speaker 4: just living in Disneyland. This will continue. It's continuing as
10:00
Speaker 4: a result of a number of ancient schools still need
10:05
Speaker 4: to be settled. But it also obviously the October seven
10:09
Speaker 4: attack re engaged and certainly reignited a lot of a
10:15
Speaker 4: lot of those ancient hatreds. And of course I think
10:18
Speaker 4: what we've seen in Your Orleans today is an attempt
10:22
Speaker 4: for people to ensure that the West responds. Now, I
10:27
Speaker 4: think the West has to respond, But this is very
10:29
Speaker 4: much a case of idare you Donald Trump?
10:35
Speaker 2: Well, I think a lot of us are waiting for
10:37
Speaker 2: Donald Trump to get in and see what he actually does,
10:39
Speaker 2: because by all accounts, he is the only leader in
10:43
Speaker 2: this world with the moral clarity who is willing to
10:45
Speaker 2: actually stand up for what is right. And you know,
10:48
Speaker 2: the FBI says that this terrorist was not acting alone.
10:51
Speaker 2: They're still searching for people have a listened to the latest.
10:54
Speaker 5: The FBI was still looking to see if they could
10:58
Speaker 5: find any more IEDs, which they have found in the area.
11:02
Speaker 5: We're talking about those potential improvised explosive devices. We know
11:06
Speaker 5: that some were found in that truck. Officials also were
11:09
Speaker 5: able to locate IEDs in the area, so that is
11:13
Speaker 5: part of the latest But we also just learned moments
11:16
Speaker 5: ago that investigators are also going through video which shows
11:20
Speaker 5: three men and a woman who may have been involved
11:23
Speaker 5: in placing those suspected explosive devices here in this French quarter.
11:29
Speaker 2: Tim this is bigger than just one terror attack, isn't it.
11:32
Speaker 2: I mean, this sounds like a cell planning multiple attacks.
11:37
Speaker 6: Absolutely, And I think we also should be aware that
11:39
Speaker 6: when we cite tera cell, that hasn't really been the
11:43
Speaker 6: case for a long time. This is a movement much
11:46
Speaker 6: as Nazism was in the thirties and nineteen forties. No
11:49
Speaker 6: one ever referred to Hitler leading, you know, a Nazi cell.
11:53
Speaker 6: It was a government much like Hamas that explorted a
11:56
Speaker 6: range of violence around the world, as does from US.
11:59
Speaker 6: And it's when these things come together her mass October seven,
12:02
Speaker 6: as David Elliott mentioned, and it ties into what sometimes
12:08
Speaker 6: referred to as lone wolf attacks. But you know, the
12:10
Speaker 6: ISIS flag is a bit of a giveaway, isn't it, Danika,
12:14
Speaker 6: That's a bit of a tell tale on the origins
12:16
Speaker 6: of this particular case.
12:19
Speaker 2: Correct, absolutely, That's why it's astonishing the FBI and from
12:23
Speaker 2: the start so that this wasn't a terror attack and
12:24
Speaker 2: then change their minds. Meanwhile, I want to get some
12:27
Speaker 2: reaction to Anthony Albanesi. This is what he said about
12:31
Speaker 2: the attack this morning. He said, all Australians are appalled
12:34
Speaker 2: by the attacking New Orleans, a shocking act of violence
12:37
Speaker 2: aimed at people celebrating the New Year together. David, why
12:40
Speaker 2: can't he just say it was a terror attack? Or
12:43
Speaker 2: does that not suit Anthony Albanesi politically?
12:47
Speaker 4: And I would beg the Prime Minister to be open
12:49
Speaker 4: and honest and frank with the Australian people so that
12:52
Speaker 4: we can identify exactly what terrorism is and by any
12:55
Speaker 4: definition of the word terrorism anywhere across the Western what
13:00
Speaker 4: we saw in New Orleans fits that definition.
13:02
Speaker 7: Now.
13:03
Speaker 4: I do feel sympathy for the Prime Minister because I
13:06
Speaker 4: know he is under a lot of pressure from the
13:08
Speaker 4: left wing of his party, from from a number of
13:11
Speaker 4: MPs who rely on on certain demographics to vote for them.
13:15
Speaker 4: So but you can't the Australian people are not going
13:18
Speaker 4: to thank Prime Minister alb and Easy for being weak
13:21
Speaker 4: on this issue. The reason why John Howard is still
13:23
Speaker 4: celebrated as one of the greatest post war leaders we've
13:26
Speaker 4: had is because he was strong on this issue. So
13:29
Speaker 4: was Mike Baird after the Link Cafe attack. I mean,
13:32
Speaker 4: that's that's what Australians cry out for. They don't particularly
13:36
Speaker 4: care for ancient disputes and they certainly don't want them
13:40
Speaker 4: on their turf, but when it's occurring, whether here or oversees,
13:46
Speaker 4: they look to their leaders to speak frankly, honestly, and
13:50
Speaker 4: of course to make sure that they can reassure the
13:52
Speaker 4: people of New South Wales or Australia. That's that they're
13:55
Speaker 4: They're they're acutely aware of the dangers that could be facing.
13:58
Speaker 2: Us, Absolutely exactly. But I mean it just goes to
14:02
Speaker 2: show the leadership in this country has been so woeful
14:05
Speaker 2: since October seven, so it's hardly surprising. And meanwhile, authorities
14:08
Speaker 2: are investigating that Tesla cybertruck explosion outside of Trump's hotel
14:12
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas, and the lefties are celebrating this over
14:16
Speaker 2: on Blue Sky. The anti Trump cult is reveling. Have
14:20
Speaker 2: a look at some of these messages that they put out,
14:22
Speaker 2: one saying hm terror actor and exploding romance man. The
14:26
Speaker 2: cyber truck doesn't even look cool when it explodes. I mean, seriously,
14:30
Speaker 2: what self respecting terrorists would drive a cybertruck? Others said,
14:34
Speaker 2: cybertruck explosion outside Trump Hotel. Can't think of a more
14:38
Speaker 2: fitting metaphor for the new year. And it's comforting to
14:41
Speaker 2: know that the world's dumbest billionaire built a truck that
14:44
Speaker 2: is an active road bomb that is only purchased by
14:46
Speaker 2: the world's dumbest guys. Tim They hate Donald Trump and
14:50
Speaker 2: Elon Musk so much that they're now celebrating a deadly
14:53
Speaker 2: explosion in the middle of Las Vegas, which actually killed
14:56
Speaker 2: one person and is being investigated as a potential terrorist attack.
15:01
Speaker 6: Isn't it nice to Meeka that they've all decided to
15:03
Speaker 6: quarantine themselves in Blue Sky. I mean, we previously quarantined
15:07
Speaker 6: all of our major left leading psychopaths in newspaper officers,
15:11
Speaker 6: so this is just bringing him more into the open,
15:13
Speaker 6: I guess. Also, there's an unusual thing here is that
15:17
Speaker 6: there's a lot of self learthing involved. A lot of
15:20
Speaker 6: Tesla owners in the original sort of years were very
15:23
Speaker 6: much lefties, very much inclined towards the climate movement and
15:27
Speaker 6: so on. So they've seen the heroes change sides and
15:30
Speaker 6: this has got to be psychologically wrenching for them. And
15:33
Speaker 6: you know they're exhibiting that kind of distress online. Poor babies, Yes.
15:38
Speaker 2: Poor poor babies. They're an absolute disgrace, aren't they. Well, look,
15:42
Speaker 2: let's turn to some domestic issues.
15:44
Speaker 3: Now.
15:44
Speaker 2: Activists and businessman Simon Holmes a Court has compared Scott
15:48
Speaker 2: Morrison's popularity to that of sex offender Rolf Harris. Now
15:52
Speaker 2: it comes after the former Prime minister spent New Year's
15:55
Speaker 2: Eve with Donald Trump at the President Alex marri Lago resort.
15:58
Speaker 2: In a repost of Rison's photo with Trump, the Climate
16:01
Speaker 2: two hundred founders said that should the former Prime minister
16:04
Speaker 2: ever read the replies to his tweet, it'll be the
16:06
Speaker 2: second time he'll have wished he could stay in the
16:09
Speaker 2: US and avoid ever coming back home. Mister Morrison is
16:12
Speaker 2: almost as popular as Rolf Harris. David I can't decide
16:16
Speaker 2: whether Simon Holmes a Court is jealous or just playing
16:21
Speaker 2: stupid in this instance what.
16:22
Speaker 4: A grub I mean, here is a bloke who's such
16:25
Speaker 4: a coward he hides behind female candidates because he knows
16:29
Speaker 4: if he nominates, he'll have all the electoral appeal of
16:32
Speaker 4: a bacon burger at a harniker A celebration. I mean,
16:35
Speaker 4: I am I joined the Rist of Australians to say
16:39
Speaker 4: this bloke needs to just either put up or shut up.
16:43
Speaker 4: I mean, he needs to stop hiding behind women as
16:45
Speaker 4: these candidates and maybe run himself, or he needs to
16:49
Speaker 4: walk away from politics and let's see how the electric responds,
16:52
Speaker 4: because there's got to be a reason why he feels
16:56
Speaker 4: that he needs to surround himself with a Petorian guard
16:58
Speaker 4: of women and not at actually face the music yourself.
17:01
Speaker 4: I mean, has he ever been on your program? Have
17:03
Speaker 4: I on any of the other conservative commentator with any
17:07
Speaker 4: other conservative commentators?
17:08
Speaker 6: Know?
17:09
Speaker 4: Because he's scared and this is the way that he
17:11
Speaker 4: throws his punches. Well, he's gutless and astryans won't copy it.
17:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's easy, isn't it to hide behind the keyboards
17:18
Speaker 2: as opposed to actually fronting up and saying it out loud,
17:21
Speaker 2: saying it in person. We would invite him on if
17:23
Speaker 2: he wants to come on, by all means, please do
17:26
Speaker 2: come on, Tim. What do you think of this attack?
17:29
Speaker 6: Oh, he's a lovely Nepo, baby little Simon Holmes Court.
17:33
Speaker 6: But we've got to understand from the right that just
17:36
Speaker 6: how anguished they've been since the Trump reelection. They had
17:41
Speaker 6: everything going in their favor, the you know, all the celebrities,
17:44
Speaker 6: all the culture, every newspaper, every newspaper almost across the world,
17:49
Speaker 6: all on their side, and they were beaten by Donald Trump.
17:52
Speaker 6: They're finding this very hard to cope with, and as
17:55
Speaker 6: I mentioned before, they're lashing out in unusual and disturbing ways.
17:59
Speaker 6: You know, I feel like saying something to calm Simon
18:02
Speaker 6: Holmes the Court down, but instead I'll say the opposite,
18:05
Speaker 6: Climate change is crap and drill, baby, drill.
18:12
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it would be careful, Tim Blair. You might
18:14
Speaker 2: get a tweet as well soon with a comment like that,
18:17
Speaker 2: look at him.
18:18
Speaker 7: I'm scared.
18:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, terrifying obviously. I bet you're very scared, Tim Blair.
18:22
Speaker 2: David Elliott, good to have you both on. Thank you
18:24
Speaker 2: very much for joining me on the show this evening.
18:26
Speaker 2: Appreciate it. Well, let's move on now, because Labour's electric
18:29
Speaker 2: vehicle dream is now a nightmare for every day Aussie's
18:33
Speaker 2: As of now, Labour's new vehicle emissions tax comes into effect,
18:37
Speaker 2: and here's what it means for you and I.
18:40
Speaker 8: Everyone thinks this is some combay our moment. The government's
18:43
Speaker 8: bringing vehicle and vision standards and what they're saying is
18:46
Speaker 8: they expect every Australian a bar about one or two
18:49
Speaker 8: percent of us to be driving evs by twenty fifty,
18:53
Speaker 8: which is nonsense. So this is a tax that you're
18:55
Speaker 8: going to pay on the purchase price of a new
18:57
Speaker 8: vehicle because of the ideology of Anthony.
19:00
Speaker 2: But easy join me now is liberal MP Garth, Hamilton Garth,
19:03
Speaker 2: good to see you, Thank you for joining me. Labor
19:06
Speaker 2: always says everything is cheaper under their green dreams, don't they.
19:10
Speaker 2: You know, it hasn't certainly hasn't happened with our power bills.
19:12
Speaker 2: But now cars, cars are their next target.
19:17
Speaker 9: Look, this is the labor problem in a nutshell. They
19:19
Speaker 9: don't understand the difference between cost and price. They think
19:22
Speaker 9: they can go in and tinker with price. The cost
19:24
Speaker 9: is still there to be borne by somebody. This is
19:26
Speaker 9: really hard to accept in an area like mine. I'm
19:29
Speaker 9: just right next door to David. Little crowd up here
19:31
Speaker 9: in Queensland. Drive along our streets is full of high
19:34
Speaker 9: lux as Prado's big cars that people need to get
19:37
Speaker 9: by and do their jobs out here in a regional community.
19:40
Speaker 9: And these are the people who are going to be
19:42
Speaker 9: paying this tax. I think it's a crazy idea for
19:45
Speaker 9: the labor government to be going ahead with this push
19:48
Speaker 9: for us all almost all of us have evs. In fact,
19:51
Speaker 9: I think we should start renaming EV's for what some
19:54
Speaker 9: of them actually are, which is disposable cars. I mean,
19:57
Speaker 9: these are cars who are designed to have almost one
20:01
Speaker 9: used battery, and when the battery runs out, the cost
20:04
Speaker 9: of the car drops so far there's no longer affordable
20:07
Speaker 9: to replace the battery. They've just got to be disposed
20:09
Speaker 9: of and people will buy a new car. And we're
20:12
Speaker 9: supposed to believe that these disposable cars are somehow better
20:15
Speaker 9: for the environment. It's absolutely crazy, only in a labor
20:19
Speaker 9: fever dream, because you can't do this sort of stuff.
20:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, and aside from the battery, it's not like we
20:25
Speaker 2: have the proper infrastructure in place of this country right
20:28
Speaker 2: now to deal with electric vehicles. So it's a sham
20:30
Speaker 2: from the very beginning. Now, look, let's talk about the economy.
20:33
Speaker 2: Jim Chalmers has this week been saying that the economy
20:36
Speaker 2: will perform better this year that we are passed the
20:39
Speaker 2: worst of it. I'm not sure if households feel the same,
20:43
Speaker 2: But now there are worries that ten thousand businesses will
20:46
Speaker 2: go bust by the time the next parliament sits. In fact,
20:50
Speaker 2: insolvencies will continue at the same rate since July last year,
20:53
Speaker 2: which was on average fifty point eight percent higher than
20:56
Speaker 2: the year to June last year. As you can see
20:58
Speaker 2: by that graphic, there number of insolvencies under the Coalition
21:02
Speaker 2: in blue and then in red. Quite a stark difference there.
21:06
Speaker 2: But this is an ominous warning, Guf.
21:09
Speaker 10: It really is.
21:10
Speaker 9: It's bad news for businesses and it's bad news for
21:12
Speaker 9: the people employed by these businesses. I was talking to
21:15
Speaker 9: someone today. He owns a nursery just around the corner
21:18
Speaker 9: from me, and he's one of these businesses that's right
21:21
Speaker 9: on the verge. I asked him. One of the big
21:23
Speaker 9: drivers for him that's going to keep him in business
21:26
Speaker 9: right now, it's the cost of labor. All these changes
21:29
Speaker 9: we've seen in ir coming through the demand that NDIES
21:32
Speaker 9: is putting onto our labor market. Locally here in Tuwomba,
21:35
Speaker 9: for example, has been a huge driver in wages and
21:38
Speaker 9: he just can't keep up. But people are still buying.
21:41
Speaker 9: This is the interesting thing. Our economy is still going.
21:43
Speaker 9: People are still out there purchasing. It's just businesses are
21:46
Speaker 9: unable to make the same level of profit that they
21:49
Speaker 9: could previously. Now they're at a point where they're losing money.
21:52
Speaker 9: They're going backwards making some really tough decisions. And I've
21:54
Speaker 9: got to tell you, for across austray we're driven by
21:58
Speaker 9: small businesses and a lot of these ones are the
22:00
Speaker 9: ones that are going to go first. And that's going
22:02
Speaker 9: to be a huge hit to our economy.
22:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, it certainly will be. It's a real big worry.
22:07
Speaker 10: Now.
22:08
Speaker 2: Australia's mortgage interest bill has tripled under the weight of
22:11
Speaker 2: twelve rate hikes in the more than two years since
22:14
Speaker 2: labor One offers. It's now up to an extra twenty
22:17
Speaker 2: six that extra twenty six thousand to fifty thousand for
22:20
Speaker 2: average home loans since twenty twenty two. I mean, hardly surprising, Garth,
22:26
Speaker 2: but you know this just shows you how tough families
22:29
Speaker 2: are doing it out there.
22:31
Speaker 9: If you've got to find between twenty six and fifty
22:34
Speaker 9: thousand dollars extra per year, I don't care what level
22:38
Speaker 9: of society you're at. That is your number one priority.
22:41
Speaker 9: That is the number one thing you're going to be
22:43
Speaker 9: focusing on. That's a hell of a lot of money
22:45
Speaker 9: that you've got to take out of your disposable income.
22:47
Speaker 9: You've got to make some really tough decisions just to
22:49
Speaker 9: afford that. And you've got to remember this is the government.
22:53
Speaker 9: This is a prime minister who came in promising, of
22:56
Speaker 9: all things, cheaper mortgages. It was extraordinary as a wild
22:59
Speaker 9: promise to make. At the time, he got a lot
23:01
Speaker 9: of favorable coverage. A lot of media turned a blind
23:06
Speaker 9: eye for the first year or so and didn't hold
23:08
Speaker 9: into account on this one. But now it's coming back
23:11
Speaker 9: and we're all seeing it. We're feeling the weight of
23:13
Speaker 9: Labour's decisions, the hurt that's been passed on to families
23:16
Speaker 9: across kitchen tables as they sit down and work out
23:19
Speaker 9: how are we going to get through twenty twenty five
23:21
Speaker 9: twenty twenty four has been bad. Jim's telling us that
23:23
Speaker 9: it's going to get a lot better. I don't think
23:25
Speaker 9: it is. I think it's going to be really, really
23:27
Speaker 9: tough for some time yet. Because this government has absolutely
23:30
Speaker 9: no plans to turn things around.
23:33
Speaker 2: No, it's a complete fantasy. As I said, I'm not
23:35
Speaker 2: sure how many households actually believe when the Treasurer says
23:38
Speaker 2: that things have turned around, because they're the ones feeling
23:40
Speaker 2: it every single day. Now I want to talk about
23:43
Speaker 2: border protection. Two more asylum boats reached Australia in November.
23:47
Speaker 2: In fact, Australia's asylum boat tally for last year is incomplete,
23:51
Speaker 2: but the final figure will come out as the highest
23:54
Speaker 2: since two thy and thirteen, when three hundred asylum seekers
23:58
Speaker 2: reached Australia by bow and Labor lost government Garth. I've
24:02
Speaker 2: got to say, the ghosts of the Rudd Guillard Rudd
24:05
Speaker 2: years they're circling the labor government. They've been circling for
24:08
Speaker 2: some time. Why has border security always been a thorn
24:12
Speaker 2: in labour side? They can never get it right.
24:15
Speaker 9: They really can't get it right. This is something that's
24:17
Speaker 9: going to plag this government too. We'd seen but isn't
24:20
Speaker 9: this the most undertold story of twenty twenty four. I mean,
24:23
Speaker 9: we haven't heard about this all the way through while
24:25
Speaker 9: this tally has been increasing, and I think the government's
24:28
Speaker 9: very happy, quite frankly that they've got away with this
24:30
Speaker 9: story not being told that their policy, and we've seen
24:34
Speaker 9: that they've reduced the amount of air and seaborn surveillance
24:38
Speaker 9: on our northern borders and this is the result. We're
24:41
Speaker 9: seeing this increase number of boats coming through again. There
24:45
Speaker 9: is an interesting thing too, as we head to this
24:47
Speaker 9: next election. If the polling's right, we could be in
24:50
Speaker 9: for that something very similar to that second term of
24:53
Speaker 9: Rudd Gillard years. We have labor aligned Independence pushing the
24:58
Speaker 9: government even further to the left. So you know, you
25:00
Speaker 9: can meation the chaos and how much worse this could
25:02
Speaker 9: get under a continuation of this government. It may be
25:06
Speaker 9: that we end up one day looking back on rud
25:08
Speaker 9: Gillard years and saying, well, they weren't that bad in comparison.
25:13
Speaker 2: Oh jeez, look, Guff, we want to think of that.
25:17
Speaker 2: But at the rate we're going, nothing would surprise me.
25:20
Speaker 2: Garth Hamilton, good to see. Thank you very much for
25:22
Speaker 2: joining me on the show this evening. We're coming up
25:24
Speaker 2: after the break. America under attack, yet Joe Biden sleepwalks
25:28
Speaker 2: into another disastrous press conference. Wait till you see just
25:32
Speaker 2: how America's commander in chief reacted. That's next well, let's
25:39
Speaker 2: go back now to the terror attack in the United States.
25:41
Speaker 2: Joining me is Mensis Research Center Senior fellow Nick Cator. Nick,
25:45
Speaker 2: thank you for joining me. I said earlier in my
25:47
Speaker 2: editorial that we've seen calls for a global into FATA
25:51
Speaker 2: and uprising for fourteen months now, since October seven, and
25:54
Speaker 2: now we have an ISIS inspired attack and police say
25:58
Speaker 2: that this man did not act a lot in New
26:00
Speaker 2: Orleans and are investigating what appears to be some sort
26:03
Speaker 2: of a cell. How worried should we be now in
26:07
Speaker 2: the West, But should we not have seen this coming
26:09
Speaker 2: from the very beginning?
26:12
Speaker 1: Well, it's an extremely alarming instant to lead. What we
26:15
Speaker 1: you have is now the Attorney General in Louisiana, as
26:20
Speaker 1: I understand it, is saying she is certain that there
26:23
Speaker 1: were multiple people involved in the New Orleans attack. And
26:27
Speaker 1: there's evidence linking the New Leans attack to the one
26:29
Speaker 1: in California. Two both used the same high car company
26:35
Speaker 1: to hire their vehicles, so that's obviously an indication there
26:39
Speaker 1: was a connection. And this is where it gets worrying.
26:41
Speaker 1: I mean a lone wolf attack. We've seen a number
26:44
Speaker 1: of those. We saw one. I think it was a
26:46
Speaker 1: lone wolf attack. In Germany just before Christmas at a
26:50
Speaker 1: Christmas market. There have been others. That is scary enough.
26:53
Speaker 1: We've had our own, of course in Sydney with the
26:56
Speaker 1: linked cafe attack ten years ago. That is scary enough.
27:00
Speaker 1: But if there is signs that this is an organized,
27:03
Speaker 1: an organized campaign by ISIS and they're involved in this ISIS.
27:09
Speaker 1: Of course they're only tangentially connected with Hamas, but they
27:12
Speaker 1: still have the same aim, and that is to you
27:17
Speaker 1: to commit to create terror in the West. It starts
27:21
Speaker 1: to get very alarming. And I think the key thing
27:24
Speaker 1: here is how on top of this situation the authorities
27:28
Speaker 1: are in the United States, particularly the FBI, and how
27:31
Speaker 1: prepared they are for this. This is the key thing
27:34
Speaker 1: we've got to be concerned about right now.
27:38
Speaker 2: Oh look, I completely agree with you speaking of the FBI,
27:42
Speaker 2: though they ruled out terror in the first instance, even
27:46
Speaker 2: though police said this was a clear terrorist attack, and
27:49
Speaker 2: I mean a man carrying an ISIS flag with explosives
27:53
Speaker 2: and weapons most people down. And the FBI in the
27:56
Speaker 2: first instance says, no, no, it's not a terror attack.
28:00
Speaker 2: Who are they trying to protect?
28:04
Speaker 1: Of course it's a terror attack. It's a Ford F
28:06
Speaker 1: one fifty in the electric version is a very heavy vehicle.
28:10
Speaker 1: I mean it's much heavier than say a highlights. This
28:13
Speaker 1: is a lethal weapon used under these circumstances. This man
28:16
Speaker 1: did not veer off the road accidentally. He deliberately wanted
28:20
Speaker 1: to kill people. And then, of course we now have
28:23
Speaker 1: accounts that he had in AK I think believe an
28:25
Speaker 1: AK forty seven or certainly a firearm with him which
28:28
Speaker 1: he used, and that their improvised explosive devices that the
28:32
Speaker 1: FBI should try and deny this was terrorism. First off,
28:35
Speaker 1: is a concern. We know the FBI has become politicized
28:39
Speaker 1: really starting with the Obama period, and certainly under the
28:44
Speaker 1: Biden administration. We know that they were busy putting misinformation
28:49
Speaker 1: around about the Hunter Biden case, about the Trump Russia
28:54
Speaker 1: and connection. All that is FBI inspired. So my real
29:00
Speaker 1: concern here, Dander, is that the FBI is not doing
29:03
Speaker 1: its day job. It has become distracted with these political games.
29:07
Speaker 1: And I really hope that at the heart of the
29:09
Speaker 1: FBI there are people as committed as they were back
29:13
Speaker 1: in the nine eleven attacks to get to the bottom
29:16
Speaker 1: of who is behind this.
29:19
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, Now, look, we've got to talk about Joe Biden. Look,
29:23
Speaker 2: he was absolutely hopeless overnight. Not that we're surprised here
29:27
Speaker 2: he was giving his press conference about the terror attack.
29:30
Speaker 11: Have a look at this and more explosively, never were
29:34
Speaker 11: found nearby. The situation is very fluid, the investigation as
29:39
Speaker 11: a preliminary stage, and the fact is that greatly Now
29:43
Speaker 11: excuse me, there you go.
29:50
Speaker 2: It's honestly, it's embarrassing to watch. This is a serious
29:53
Speaker 2: incident and the President of the United States has no
29:56
Speaker 2: idea what's going on. And then he proceeded to walk
29:58
Speaker 2: off and answer no question.
30:00
Speaker 11: Have a look MiG guard protector troops and we'll keep
30:03
Speaker 11: you fully. Contemporariosy in for him.
30:05
Speaker 2: Thank you.
30:10
Speaker 8: Attack.
30:11
Speaker 2: Have you feeling to President Trump? Hostigated as a terror attack,
30:18
Speaker 2: a terror attack on home soil, Nick, and that is
30:21
Speaker 2: the response.
30:24
Speaker 1: Look, this is a real indictment on the Democrats who
30:27
Speaker 1: lied and put about all that rubbish that he was
30:32
Speaker 1: still fit to governor until right till the last moment.
30:35
Speaker 1: Clearly he wasn't. He should have been moved on a
30:37
Speaker 1: long time ago. A lame duck president is always going
30:40
Speaker 1: to have less authority than somebody coming in at the
30:43
Speaker 1: start of a term, as Trump will in this case,
30:46
Speaker 1: he's got virtually zero authority. Roll on January the twentieth
30:51
Speaker 1: is all I can say, because Johnald Trump is obviously
30:55
Speaker 1: the sort of person who's going to take a great
30:58
Speaker 1: deal of authority to the office, and under these circumstances,
31:02
Speaker 1: you can imagine Donald Trump would have been a lot
31:04
Speaker 1: more reassuring. The American people will be looking for reassurance
31:08
Speaker 1: right now. This is a very scary thing to happen
31:11
Speaker 1: on New Year's Eve. Imagine if it happened here in Sydney,
31:14
Speaker 1: as it so easily could have. Incidentally, I was walking
31:18
Speaker 1: around Kirabilly early on on New Year's Eve and the
31:22
Speaker 1: police were clearly prepared for this kind of attack. You
31:24
Speaker 1: could see that they put trucks across the road in
31:27
Speaker 1: place to stop this kind of thing. So it's scary
31:32
Speaker 1: when it happens close to you, and it must be
31:35
Speaker 1: very scary if you're the American people who right now
31:37
Speaker 1: looking for reassurance. They want a strong leader who's prepared
31:41
Speaker 1: to do everything it takes to get to the bottom
31:43
Speaker 1: of this, to find the offenders, and to take whatever
31:46
Speaker 1: action is necessary to put a stop to this.
31:51
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and I completely agree with you, Nick Roll. On
31:54
Speaker 2: January twenty. Hopefully we'll actually get some real leadership when
31:58
Speaker 2: it comes to these sorts of issues. Donald Trump's back,
32:01
Speaker 2: Nick Kata, good to see you. Thank you very much
32:03
Speaker 2: for joining me on the show this evening. Appreciate it well.
32:06
Speaker 2: Coming up after the break Finally, CNN, here's some hard truths.
32:10
Speaker 2: But will they learn more after the break with my paddle?
32:17
Speaker 2: Welcome back?
32:18
Speaker 3: Well.
32:18
Speaker 2: The New South Wales government has shot down calls by
32:20
Speaker 2: public servant campaigners for a boycott on computing giant Hewlett
32:24
Speaker 2: Packard over the company's alleged links with Israel. Eight hundred
32:29
Speaker 2: union members and public servants of a group called PSA
32:32
Speaker 2: for Palestine signed a petition calling for the government to
32:36
Speaker 2: immediately cease entering into contracts with HP and offer protections
32:41
Speaker 2: for public sector workers so they could refuse to administer
32:44
Speaker 2: HP contracts and operate HP computers. Now, I say, if
32:49
Speaker 2: you have a problem, resign. Honestly, what a bunch of
32:53
Speaker 2: overpaid underperformers joining me now? Is Sky News contributor Louise
32:57
Speaker 2: Roberts at Will Kingston, the host of the Spectacle to
33:00
Speaker 2: Australia's Fire at Will podcast. Hi to both of you,
33:03
Speaker 2: Good to see you. Thank you for joining me. Well,
33:06
Speaker 2: they can't be working too hard, can they If they
33:09
Speaker 2: actually have time to go around and sign petitions.
33:12
Speaker 7: Like this, Probably not the hosting chair suits you, Danika.
33:18
Speaker 7: As an aside, A couple of things I would say
33:21
Speaker 7: on this. The first thing I would say is, if
33:24
Speaker 7: you dig into the financial records of any global company,
33:29
Speaker 7: you will find relationships with dodgy countries, whether it be Russia,
33:33
Speaker 7: whether it be the Middle East, whether it be Africa. Unfortunately,
33:37
Speaker 7: that's just the way that global business works. It really
33:41
Speaker 7: is starting to irritate me that these sorts of activists
33:44
Speaker 7: only seem to care when the Jews are involved. Now,
33:48
Speaker 7: I'll let viewers make up their own minds as to
33:50
Speaker 7: why that is the case, but it seems to be
33:52
Speaker 7: a recurring pattern as we go through these sorts of
33:55
Speaker 7: issues in the Middle East. But the other thing I
33:57
Speaker 7: would say is we have raised a generation of young
34:00
Speaker 7: workers that don't seem to understand the nature of the
34:02
Speaker 7: employee and employer relationship. The whole thing of being an
34:05
Speaker 7: employee is occasionally have to suck up things that you
34:07
Speaker 7: don't like in your job. That's just the reality. And
34:10
Speaker 7: I think these sorts of businesses could do worse than
34:13
Speaker 7: to put their foot down and say, you know what,
34:15
Speaker 7: if you don't like it, guys, there's the door.
34:19
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, I just don't know if they're just
34:20
Speaker 2: lazy or just playing stupid loyes. Surely as well said
34:24
Speaker 2: they've got to be shown the door. Now, if you've
34:26
Speaker 2: got a problem with the way that your company that
34:28
Speaker 2: you are an employee for runs it, leave go. No
34:32
Speaker 2: one's stopping you.
34:33
Speaker 12: Well, that's right, but often they won't because you find
34:36
Speaker 12: that that devotion to advocacy doesn't really extend to their
34:39
Speaker 12: hip pockets, so they're happy to take the salary and
34:41
Speaker 12: also complain at the same time. But I think, also, Danika,
34:44
Speaker 12: this set's a really dangerous precedent that employees can sort
34:48
Speaker 12: of pick and choose which jobs they'll do, which things
34:51
Speaker 12: aligned to their own political beliefs, And as we're discussing,
34:53
Speaker 12: that's not the nature of working for a company. If
34:55
Speaker 12: you want to do that, set up on your own
34:57
Speaker 12: and have your own political vision.
35:02
Speaker 2: Go for it, you know, be our guest. Now, Look,
35:04
Speaker 2: Victoria's government is being urged to crack down on cowboy
35:07
Speaker 2: cabbies ahead of the Australian Open to stamp out a
35:09
Speaker 2: dodgy payment method that allows drivers to charge outrageous prices.
35:14
Speaker 2: Each taxi has a payment terminal attached to its meter,
35:17
Speaker 2: which prevents drivers from adding extra charges to a ride,
35:20
Speaker 2: but some cabbies are using a separate handheld payment terminal
35:24
Speaker 2: to charge inflated amounts bypassing that meter entirely. Well, I
35:28
Speaker 2: was thinking, you know, this happened to me last year
35:31
Speaker 2: when I was at the Melbourne Cup in Melbourne. You
35:34
Speaker 2: go a very short distance and suddenly you go to
35:37
Speaker 2: pay and you go, oh my goodness, this is a
35:39
Speaker 2: lot more expensive than I had anticipated. Does there need
35:42
Speaker 2: to be better regulation?
35:45
Speaker 7: Absolutely not. I hate regulation, Deniekher. I think it is
35:49
Speaker 7: the wrong answer to almost every question. Here's what we
35:53
Speaker 7: should be doing. We should be yelling and screaming from
35:55
Speaker 7: the rootstops on scott shows like this to say you
35:57
Speaker 7: know what, this is unacceptable, and then viewers should say, well,
36:00
Speaker 7: you know what, taxis are ripping people off, And hey,
36:03
Speaker 7: we've got this phone in our pockets which have an
36:05
Speaker 7: app called Uber and it can get you somewhere cheaper
36:07
Speaker 7: and more conveniently. That's how we solve these sorts of problems.
36:11
Speaker 7: The one thing I actually am a bit concerned about
36:13
Speaker 7: is whenever these sorts of problems come up, the government
36:15
Speaker 7: then steps in and says, says, we're going to regulate
36:17
Speaker 7: the market can solve these problems. And in this instance
36:20
Speaker 7: the market is Uber. And I'm actually surprised that the
36:24
Speaker 7: taxis are still going when they're delivering this sort of
36:26
Speaker 7: rubbish customer experience.
36:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think, look, most cab drivers out there
36:32
Speaker 2: are honest, Louise, but this is what does turn people
36:36
Speaker 2: off from using them and going with Uber and other
36:39
Speaker 2: ride sharing services instead.
36:41
Speaker 12: That's right, and as we said, most caves are the
36:44
Speaker 12: vast majority of caves are hard working, honest and absolute
36:47
Speaker 12: delight to be sitting in their vehicle where they drive
36:48
Speaker 12: you around. So it's unfair to malign them with this
36:51
Speaker 12: obviously very rogue minority. But you have a choice as
36:54
Speaker 12: a passenger. You can get into a taxi and say
36:56
Speaker 12: put the meter on. If they won't put the metera on,
36:58
Speaker 12: get out of the taxi, simple or Uzuber. And I
37:01
Speaker 12: think also we're used to having a set price and
37:04
Speaker 12: now there's this mentality unfairly has erupted where people feel
37:08
Speaker 12: that the cabby is automatic, you know, of going to
37:11
Speaker 12: go the scenic route or the longer route and actually
37:13
Speaker 12: cost us more when in fact they're probably just stuck
37:15
Speaker 12: in traffic. So you know, as a customer, do have
37:18
Speaker 12: a choice either uzuber or getting the taxi and ask
37:21
Speaker 12: for the me to be switched on.
37:22
Speaker 2: It's pretty simple. Yeah, I absolutely agree. Now let's go
37:27
Speaker 2: to the US because US comedian Whitney Cummings has, in
37:31
Speaker 2: my opinion, delivered CNN the boost and ratings it quite
37:34
Speaker 2: frankly so desperately needs. After roasting the Democrats live on
37:39
Speaker 2: air on New Year's Eve, have a look at this.
37:43
Speaker 13: It's the bus I'm not playing, you know, like three
37:45
Speaker 13: thousand See, you're asked us about the viewership of CNN
37:48
Speaker 13: these days. Twenty twenty four election fried our brains. The
37:51
Speaker 13: Democrats couldn't hold a primary because they were too busy
37:53
Speaker 13: holding a party up right, Yes, are we still rolling
37:57
Speaker 13: on my off?
37:57
Speaker 2: Drop for it.
38:00
Speaker 13: It's amazing that the pro choice party didn't give their
38:02
Speaker 13: voters wine when it came to the presidential candidate. Tomld
38:05
Speaker 13: was forced on us so hard you'd think she was
38:07
Speaker 13: counted by visor.
38:09
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know what's more funny, are her comment
38:11
Speaker 2: or Anderson Cooper standing next to her, looking stunned and
38:15
Speaker 2: not knowing what to say there, But I mean.
38:17
Speaker 7: She's right, yeah, stunned and guilty because he was one
38:20
Speaker 7: of the main perpetrators of so many of the frauds
38:23
Speaker 7: that CNN perpetrated on the American people. You mentioned, Anika.
38:28
Speaker 7: Their ratings are not just bad, they are catastrophically bad,
38:33
Speaker 7: and they fully deserve it. If you are going to
38:35
Speaker 7: be a mainstream media business in this day and age,
38:37
Speaker 7: you have to be honest with your audiences. Businesses like
38:39
Speaker 7: Sky in Australia, like JBN News in the UK are
38:43
Speaker 7: doing well, they will endure. Business like CNN and MSNBC
38:47
Speaker 7: are absolutely being destroyed because people have woken up to
38:51
Speaker 7: the fact that they have a very clear agenda and
38:53
Speaker 7: they're not leveling with their audiences. So look, this was
38:56
Speaker 7: very funny because it basically said that the Emperor had
38:58
Speaker 7: no clothes and and unfortunately for places like CNN, they're
39:04
Speaker 7: only going in one direction and they deserve it.
39:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, I completely agree, Loise. I think that she maybe
39:11
Speaker 2: spoke too much truth for CNN's liking. She did.
39:14
Speaker 12: I mean, I think this clips had about nine million
39:16
Speaker 12: plus uses on me hasn't it. So I would say
39:18
Speaker 12: a CNN take note, this is an audience. Let approach
39:21
Speaker 12: to content. Your audience clearly want to watch this sort
39:23
Speaker 12: of thing that they're sick to death, are being force
39:25
Speaker 12: fed this woe agenda. And the way you with the
39:28
Speaker 12: Biden Kamala cheer squad was just appalling.
39:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, completely agree. Now, look I've got to show you
39:35
Speaker 2: both this lovely vision Donald and Malania Trump singing and
39:40
Speaker 2: dancing to Ymca during New Year's Eve party at mari Lago.
39:43
Speaker 2: Have a look at this. I just want to know
39:58
Speaker 2: how I can get an invite into a marri Lago party,
40:00
Speaker 2: because I reckon it will be. And then Will, Will's
40:03
Speaker 2: already got the dance moves. Will knows it. What a
40:06
Speaker 2: time to be alive, What a time? Look, what a
40:10
Speaker 2: time to be alive. Will, and I quite enjoyed seeing
40:13
Speaker 2: Milannia Trump with a bit of rhythm. Yeah, it was great.
40:18
Speaker 7: Look there's a couple of kind of things, and look,
40:20
Speaker 7: this is light and fun. Number one. You know, the
40:23
Speaker 7: thing which the left continuously gets wrong about Donald Trump
40:25
Speaker 7: is that he is likable. You know, you can't look
40:27
Speaker 7: at that, at that content and not have a little
40:30
Speaker 7: smile on your face, and I think it's something which
40:32
Speaker 7: they continuously discredit. And also because she is married to
40:35
Speaker 7: Donald Trump, she has been this hate figure despite being
40:38
Speaker 7: a really impressive woman and by all accounts a very
40:40
Speaker 7: intelligent and very likable woman. All this sort of stuff
40:42
Speaker 7: again just puts paid to the nonsense masquerade that so
40:46
Speaker 7: much of the left has has tried to put on
40:49
Speaker 7: both Donald and Millennia.
40:52
Speaker 2: And the other thing is Louise, is that the YMCA
40:55
Speaker 2: dance now has actually become a cultural phenomenon. People love
40:58
Speaker 2: to do it. It's no longer now don't do it
41:00
Speaker 2: because Donald Trump does it. People want to do it.
41:03
Speaker 2: That's right.
41:03
Speaker 12: And if this doesn't screen Man of the People, then
41:05
Speaker 12: what does. And it's great, as we said that Millennia
41:08
Speaker 12: sort of it can sort of shake off some of
41:10
Speaker 12: this very unfair criticism because she's very clever, She's a
41:13
Speaker 12: woman in her own ride, very strong, very opinionated as
41:16
Speaker 12: we know. So hopefully that will dispel some of the
41:19
Speaker 12: myth around her and roll on January twenty. Let's hope
41:22
Speaker 12: we see some singing dancing at at that event as well.
41:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. Now I've got to ask you both
41:29
Speaker 2: are we becoming a nation of prudes. According to nine newspapers,
41:33
Speaker 2: nude beaches are being shut down around the country. Have
41:37
Speaker 2: we become and nanny state will over to you, what
41:41
Speaker 2: do you think? Are we a nation of prudes?
41:44
Speaker 7: Yeah?
41:45
Speaker 10: To be on.
41:45
Speaker 7: The more and more I think about this sort of stuff,
41:46
Speaker 7: the more I think we actually always have been. I
41:49
Speaker 7: said this on Sky the other day. I'm going to
41:50
Speaker 7: repeat it. The great Clive James said it is not
41:53
Speaker 7: that we are descended from convicts that is the problem
41:56
Speaker 7: with Australia. It's that we are descended from jailer's I
41:58
Speaker 7: think this instinct has always been there and I would
42:00
Speaker 7: just say to everyone, first they come for the nude
42:03
Speaker 7: beaches and we go, oh, well, it doesn't really matter.
42:05
Speaker 7: But they'll start coming from more serious stuff. And I
42:07
Speaker 7: think there aren't enough Australians who are standing up for
42:09
Speaker 7: their freedoms. I really open twenty twenty five. More of
42:12
Speaker 7: us stand up for individual liberty and the ability to
42:15
Speaker 7: get your kid off at the beach.
42:16
Speaker 2: Go for it here here, and you know, you go
42:20
Speaker 2: to Europe in the end and nobody bats an eyelid,
42:23
Speaker 2: nobody cares. But for some reason here in Australia, we're
42:26
Speaker 2: still with that mindset, Loise, do you think that we
42:30
Speaker 2: are a nation of proofs?
42:32
Speaker 12: I think we're becoming that way. It's interesting we're talking
42:35
Speaker 12: about how we've always been that way. But I feel
42:37
Speaker 12: that perhaps the sort of woke mindset that's permeated society
42:41
Speaker 12: telling people how to think and when to think, it
42:44
Speaker 12: is making people second guess themselves and that's led to
42:47
Speaker 12: a nudist beach being shut down, and they haven't really
42:49
Speaker 12: explained why they've done it, apart from the so called
42:51
Speaker 12: public outcry. But if it's a nude beach and you
42:54
Speaker 12: don't want to see nude bodies, there's plenty of other
42:56
Speaker 12: beaches to go to, and why not let these people natures,
43:00
Speaker 12: you know, be allowed to swim in some baye the
43:02
Speaker 12: way they want to. They're not offending the rest of us, really,
43:05
Speaker 12: are they?
43:07
Speaker 2: Well, no, exactly. If you want to go to a
43:08
Speaker 2: normal beach, go for it. You want to go and
43:10
Speaker 2: neudist beech be My guest Lloyd's Roberts Will Kingston. Good
43:13
Speaker 2: to have you both on. Thank you very much for
43:14
Speaker 2: joining me on the show this evening. Well British Prime Minister,
43:18
Speaker 2: Sir Kiir Starmer has rejected claims by billionaire businessman Elon
43:22
Speaker 2: Musk that few companies will be interested in investing in
43:25
Speaker 2: the UK while Labor is in office. Musk posted on
43:28
Speaker 2: his social media platform X very few companies will be
43:31
Speaker 2: willing to invest in the UK with the current administration
43:34
Speaker 2: which drew the ire of Downing Street. Joining me is
43:37
Speaker 2: News Corps Europe correspondent Sophie Ellsworth, Sophie, good to see you.
43:41
Speaker 2: Is Musk right? Labor isn't a mess in the UK
43:44
Speaker 2: at the moment, isn't it? So why would people want
43:46
Speaker 2: to invest?
43:48
Speaker 14: Well, it's interesting, Danika that all it takes is Elon
43:52
Speaker 14: Musk to jump on platform X and he gets Prime
43:56
Speaker 14: Minister Seki Starmer in a hot mess. They very unpopular here.
44:01
Speaker 14: He hasn't really had the Labor government has not really
44:05
Speaker 14: had a honeymoon period since winning office back in July.
44:10
Speaker 14: They've gone down in the polls and he's hit a
44:14
Speaker 14: raw nerve Elon Musk with attacking the Labor government. They
44:17
Speaker 14: haven't had economic growth here. They've got a lot of
44:20
Speaker 14: issues here with rising inflation, migration issues as well. So
44:26
Speaker 14: I think Elon Musk does have a point, but the
44:29
Speaker 14: fact that Keir Starmer feels the need to respond to
44:32
Speaker 14: Elon Musk is pretty damning in itself. Now we've seen
44:35
Speaker 14: Elon Musk align himself with Nigel Farage and the Reform
44:39
Speaker 14: UK party, which is proving a threat to the Tories
44:42
Speaker 14: and Labor Party.
44:43
Speaker 10: So I would say.
44:44
Speaker 14: Watch this space because Elon Musk and Reform UK on
44:49
Speaker 14: the way up.
44:52
Speaker 2: Which is really really good news to hear, because I
44:54
Speaker 2: think that, you know, Nigel Farage is a wonderful leader.
44:58
Speaker 2: We need more leaders like him, like Trump in the
45:00
Speaker 2: world who are actually willing to stand up for what's right. Now,
45:04
Speaker 2: I want to pivot to Prince Harry because he recently
45:07
Speaker 2: took his young son, Prince Archie to surf legend Kelly
45:12
Speaker 2: Slater's surf school, and a photograph of the two of
45:15
Speaker 2: them was posted but then deleted on Instagram. I just
45:21
Speaker 2: think this vision is actually quite lovely. Sophie, take us
45:24
Speaker 2: through it.
45:26
Speaker 10: That's right.
45:27
Speaker 14: One of the America's surfers took Prince Harry basically on
45:30
Speaker 14: a surfing lesson, and he post uploaded some photos to
45:35
Speaker 14: his social.
45:36
Speaker 10: Media account, but then later deleted them.
45:38
Speaker 14: Now we know that Prince Harry is very protective of
45:43
Speaker 14: his children. His son was in Archie was in one
45:47
Speaker 14: of the photos that was removed from online. Obviously something's
45:51
Speaker 14: happened behind the scenes, and I would probably take a
45:55
Speaker 14: guess that Prince Harry didn't like that being uploaded. But
45:59
Speaker 14: this should have been worked out beforehand before it hit
46:01
Speaker 14: social media platforms.
46:05
Speaker 2: No, look, I do agree with that, but I've got
46:06
Speaker 2: to ask you, Sophie. I felt like when I saw
46:09
Speaker 2: that vision it was nice to see Harry be normal again,
46:13
Speaker 2: because we often see him with Megan and it's just
46:16
Speaker 2: always so staged. But don't you think it was good
46:18
Speaker 2: to see the man that the world once loved in
46:22
Speaker 2: his element again.
46:25
Speaker 10: Well, Deniki, you have a very good point there. He
46:27
Speaker 10: was the likable one. People really adored Prince.
46:31
Speaker 14: Harry, and then that all fell apart and they just
46:35
Speaker 14: don't make the headlines here in the UK like they
46:38
Speaker 14: used to.
46:39
Speaker 10: A lot of people have moved on from them.
46:41
Speaker 14: They're hugely unpopular here in the UK and proving the
46:44
Speaker 14: same in America. This did show a bit of the
46:47
Speaker 14: human side to him, but clearly there was an issue
46:51
Speaker 14: with it.
46:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. Now, speaking of Megan, unfortunately she is
46:57
Speaker 2: back on Instagram. She has relaunched for the first time
47:01
Speaker 2: since she and Prince Harry fled England during the early
47:05
Speaker 2: days of the pandemic. And I've got to say the
47:07
Speaker 2: vision here, I don't know what she was trying to
47:10
Speaker 2: do there twenty twenty five, writing it with her finger
47:13
Speaker 2: in the sand. What is her agenda here, Sophie, what
47:18
Speaker 2: is she doing? Do you think? Well?
47:21
Speaker 14: This is really interesting because Meghan Markel said years ago
47:25
Speaker 14: when she left social media it was almost unsurvivable. Now
47:29
Speaker 14: she's back on the platform. They've become the forgotten part
47:33
Speaker 14: of the Royal family.
47:34
Speaker 10: People are not interested in them.
47:36
Speaker 14: They've heard them complaining for many years about their treatment
47:40
Speaker 14: within the Royal family. They obviously left the UK and
47:45
Speaker 14: they were making headlines for many of the wrong reasons,
47:49
Speaker 14: and obviously there's been the fallout with the rest of
47:52
Speaker 14: the Royal family. So perhaps this is a very clear
47:56
Speaker 14: message that Megan Markel is on the comeback trail.
47:59
Speaker 10: She wants to be back in the headlines.
48:01
Speaker 14: You only post those things on social media when you
48:04
Speaker 14: want coverage, like he is.
48:06
Speaker 10: She wants us talking about her. That is happening.
48:08
Speaker 14: So this will be interesting to see where she takes
48:11
Speaker 14: this social media account and whether it becomes popular.
48:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the other thing that I was thinking, Sophie,
48:19
Speaker 2: it's interesting where was Prince Harry and all this. Normally
48:23
Speaker 2: they're together when they do their little brand launch. What's
48:25
Speaker 2: going on there?
48:27
Speaker 10: Very good point, Danika.
48:28
Speaker 14: Look, there's a lot of reporting saying that he took
48:31
Speaker 14: the video. I can't verify that myself, but that's what
48:34
Speaker 14: a lot of the reports are saying.
48:36
Speaker 10: They're often seeing that they're joined at the hip.
48:38
Speaker 14: They're always in photos and videos and interviews together.
48:42
Speaker 10: They're not here.
48:43
Speaker 14: There's obviously been rumors that their marriage has been in trouble,
48:48
Speaker 14: so that's pretty interesting that he's not in the video
48:51
Speaker 14: as well.
48:53
Speaker 2: I agree. I think watch this space in twenty twenty five,
48:56
Speaker 2: that's my prediction. Sophiel's worth. Nice to catch up with you.
49:00
Speaker 2: Thank you very much for your time this evening, and
49:02
Speaker 2: thank you for joining me. That's all we have time for.
49:04
Speaker 2: Stay with us. Up now is the late Debate. Good Night,
