0:08
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the readA Pannehy Show coming
0:10
Speaker 2: up tonight the PM under five. For an offhand remark,
0:14
Speaker 2: are we becoming too precious? A sub Australian council looking
0:18
Speaker 2: to change a street name in the interests of diversity
0:21
Speaker 2: and inclusion. Army Horowitz joins me after going under cover
0:25
Speaker 2: with pro Palestinian activists. He will not believe what they
0:29
Speaker 2: said to him when they thought he.
0:30
Speaker 3: Was one of them.
0:32
Speaker 2: Also joining me tonight, but greatful to see in Pima
0:34
Speaker 2: and Stephanie Bastian and an extended version of Left. He's
0:39
Speaker 2: losing it.
0:39
Speaker 4: President Biden, you have presidential immunity. Get Elon musk the
0:44
Speaker 4: out of our country.
0:46
Speaker 1: And do it now first.
0:47
Speaker 2: The Prime Minister has copped fierce backlash after he made
0:52
Speaker 2: this quip during question time yesterday, where he asked whether
0:56
Speaker 2: Shadow treasurer Angus Taylor has Tourette syndrome, that.
1:00
Speaker 5: They carry on with the idea that where have you
1:04
Speaker 5: got Tourett's or something.
1:10
Speaker 1: You know, you know you see there. Bamble, bamble, bamborder.
1:14
Speaker 2: Are we drawing, mister speaker, are.
1:16
Speaker 6: We draw, Are we drin?
1:18
Speaker 1: Are we joining apologize?
1:20
Speaker 2: As you heard, he realized his mistake almost instantly, but
1:24
Speaker 2: check out the reaction of his colleagues. Minister for Youth
1:28
Speaker 2: and Ali and Well she had to stop herself from laughing.
1:32
Speaker 2: She knew she wasn't supposed to be laughing, while Deputy
1:35
Speaker 2: PM Richard Marser he didn't know where to look. He
1:38
Speaker 2: was just wanting to be somewhere else. This incident prompted
1:42
Speaker 2: widespread criticism from the Coalition and disability advocates as well,
1:47
Speaker 2: and Liberal MP Chris Kruther, who himself has Tourette syndrome,
1:52
Speaker 2: tweeted this. He said, this is absolutely disgraceful by PM
1:57
Speaker 2: Primus now alb and Easy. He should apologize to all
2:00
Speaker 2: with Tourette's syndrome. And he linked this speech that he
2:04
Speaker 2: made in Parliament back in twenty sixteen where he spoke
2:07
Speaker 2: about what it's like being a politician with Tourett's.
2:11
Speaker 1: I have curettes.
2:12
Speaker 7: Tourette's syndrome is a neurological disorder. It consists of vocal
2:16
Speaker 7: and motor tics that is rapid, repetitive and involuntary muscle movements.
2:21
Speaker 7: For example, I have blinking head jerking, repetitive limb movements
2:25
Speaker 7: and throat clearing. They are irresistible and eventually it must
2:29
Speaker 7: be performed. Curettes is often misportrayed by the media has
2:32
Speaker 7: been swearing or coppolalia, but this is experienced by only
2:35
Speaker 7: a small subset of those affected.
2:37
Speaker 2: Now it must be noted the PM has apologized again.
2:41
Speaker 8: I made comments that were unkind and hurtful. I knew
2:44
Speaker 8: it was wrong as soon as I made the comment.
2:47
Speaker 8: I apologized and I would do as soon as I
2:50
Speaker 8: said it.
2:51
Speaker 7: But it shouldn't have happened.
2:53
Speaker 2: Let's bring in Sky News contributor Gary Hardgrave. Gary, how
2:57
Speaker 2: do you see this saga? The Prime Minister's apologized more
3:01
Speaker 2: than once. I don't know if he's just getting frustrated
3:05
Speaker 2: and he's lashing out, he's not thinking things through. But
3:09
Speaker 2: do you think the reaction has been perhaps a little
3:13
Speaker 2: bit over the top as well?
3:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably so.
3:17
Speaker 9: But of course, you know, he's from that part of
3:18
Speaker 9: politics that actually wants to be sexercised as homophobic point,
3:22
Speaker 9: they throw all these things at everybody else, so he
3:25
Speaker 9: kind of brought it on himself. The Blake's been in
3:27
Speaker 9: the Parliament for what twenty eight years? Some would say
3:31
Speaker 9: too long, but he's been there a long time. We
3:34
Speaker 9: were both elected on the same day in nineteen ninety six,
3:36
Speaker 9: so I've been out a lot longer than I was in.
3:38
Speaker 9: But you know, he really should know better, but he
3:41
Speaker 9: practices this kind of thought police approach the things, so
3:46
Speaker 9: he's just left himself vulnerable. And look, yeah, the reaction's
3:50
Speaker 9: gone a bit ott, but good on Chris Kruther. I
3:52
Speaker 9: did not know about that speech. Still you've just shown
3:54
Speaker 9: us and look I feel for that, but it's a
3:58
Speaker 9: full disclosure from him. Good on him, but d in
4:01
Speaker 9: the end, everything that's said in the parliament irresponsible for
4:05
Speaker 9: the Prime Minister is an incredibly experienced member of Parliament.
4:09
Speaker 9: He's under pressure. He does not know which way to
4:12
Speaker 9: jump on just about every issue, and he decides to
4:15
Speaker 9: think that by picking on somebody and throwing in a
4:18
Speaker 9: certain disability, that's a funny way of acting.
4:20
Speaker 1: It's really not good enough. So that part I get,
4:23
Speaker 1: But can we just move on now.
4:24
Speaker 9: I'd like him actually to take some value based judgments
4:28
Speaker 9: about a couple of the really big issues in our
4:31
Speaker 9: society right now, how his government is destroying a lot
4:34
Speaker 9: of people with and without turets when it comes to
4:37
Speaker 9: the economic management our power prices. The whole moral issue
4:41
Speaker 9: associated with which side to be on in the Israeli
4:44
Speaker 9: conflict against everything. I mean, they're fighting the war for
4:47
Speaker 9: the Western world. This black doesn't know where to jump
4:49
Speaker 9: on most things, so any understandably he's going to jump
4:52
Speaker 9: the wrong way on that sort of thing.
4:54
Speaker 1: Just too stupid for words.
4:58
Speaker 2: Now let's turn our attention to the Queensland election, which
5:02
Speaker 2: is just a couple of weeks away. But judging by
5:05
Speaker 2: this compilation from our local paper, The Brisbane Times, I'm
5:09
Speaker 2: not sure how engaged some Queenslanders are with the coming election.
5:15
Speaker 10: Man is no, no, I don't really watch do you
5:19
Speaker 10: know this man? It's no idea would be our current
5:23
Speaker 10: pre Do you know this man?
5:28
Speaker 1: Something fully.
5:31
Speaker 2: Gary that was filmed just twenty two days before the
5:34
Speaker 2: October twenty sixth election. Does that lack of knowledge among
5:39
Speaker 2: some of your fellow Queenslanders concern you?
5:43
Speaker 9: Look, Queenslanders are pretty clever, reader, So I don't suggest
5:47
Speaker 9: for a moment that somehow or other we're not engaged. Look,
5:49
Speaker 9: actually we're bored to tears. This is the most boring
5:52
Speaker 9: election campaign I've ever seen, No matter what happens on
5:56
Speaker 9: the twenty sixth of October. A government with a lefty
5:59
Speaker 9: bend is going to be elected. That's just the simple reality.
6:03
Speaker 9: I think people are over it. They don't know what
6:05
Speaker 9: either side stands for. They're mumbling out policies here and
6:09
Speaker 9: slogans there, but there's really just no.
6:12
Speaker 1: Instinctive kind of plan for the future.
6:14
Speaker 9: And we've got no vision about where Queensland is going
6:18
Speaker 9: to be a generation from now, and there's no excitement.
6:22
Speaker 9: I've seen change of government elections. I'm not sure we're
6:25
Speaker 9: seeing one in Queensland right now. Even though all the
6:28
Speaker 9: pundits say there's going to be a change of government.
6:30
Speaker 9: It's probably going to be a loveless landslide against labor,
6:33
Speaker 9: but I think there's a bit of a lucky dip
6:35
Speaker 9: kind of outcome coming on the twenty sixth of October.
6:38
Speaker 1: I'm actually terrified for.
6:40
Speaker 9: The lack of the lack of interest that's there, but
6:42
Speaker 9: it's because the politicians aren't earning any interest, and their
6:46
Speaker 9: notoriety as well. It's just terminally boring, which is kind
6:50
Speaker 9: of sad.
6:51
Speaker 2: Really, you're right, and I get that I'm far away
6:56
Speaker 2: from there.
6:57
Speaker 8: I was.
6:57
Speaker 2: I spent a few days there last week. But there's
7:01
Speaker 2: a bit of the Victorian Libs about the Queensland liber Nationals.
7:07
Speaker 2: It's almost like they don't want to actually stand for anything.
7:10
Speaker 2: They don't want to be too different from Labor in
7:12
Speaker 2: case they get some sort of a backlash from the
7:14
Speaker 2: media or from the inner suburbs. And you've got to
7:18
Speaker 2: stand for something when you win. You want to actually
7:20
Speaker 2: win because you had a policy platform you're proud of.
7:25
Speaker 2: Now the Coalition is manning answers from Labor after it
7:28
Speaker 2: was revealed that a visa was granted to Palestinian artists
7:32
Speaker 2: Phays Alsani, even though this man has previously hosted members
7:37
Speaker 2: of her mass and Islamic Palestinian Ghad at his art
7:42
Speaker 2: institute in Gaza. Here is Immigration Minister Tony Burke. He
7:47
Speaker 2: was asked about this in Parliament early today.
7:49
Speaker 8: Has the visa for this individual been canceled?
7:52
Speaker 5: The process for all of these visas for people who've
7:56
Speaker 5: come from Palestine has been exactly the same for every
7:59
Speaker 5: one of them. Between the Shadow Minister who asks the
8:02
Speaker 5: question or the Director General of ASIO. I'm sorry, but
8:06
Speaker 5: I'm going to listen to the Director General of Asia.
8:08
Speaker 5: The concept that we should abandon our security agencies and
8:12
Speaker 5: defer instead to google searchers from the opposition is not
8:16
Speaker 5: something this government will do.
8:18
Speaker 2: Gary, How do you see it? Should we be confident
8:22
Speaker 2: in the security services doing the appropriate checks here, even
8:26
Speaker 2: though we know with some of these visas they prove
8:31
Speaker 2: them within an hour.
8:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, Look, I don't think we can be confident in
8:35
Speaker 1: the minister. That's the reality.
8:37
Speaker 9: When he was last the Immigration Minister was about twelve
8:39
Speaker 9: hundred people came ashore in various boats and so forth.
8:42
Speaker 1: So he hasn't got a good track record.
8:45
Speaker 9: And the idea that he's actually saying, I've got no
8:47
Speaker 9: instinct about this. I'm just going to defer it to
8:49
Speaker 9: a public servant, even though it's a security agent person
8:52
Speaker 9: worries me greatly.
8:53
Speaker 1: I think that we have real reason.
8:55
Speaker 9: To question who is coming and the terms under which
8:58
Speaker 9: they are coming, if they're approved.
8:59
Speaker 1: In and how.
9:00
Speaker 9: That's frightening because there are people who have been waiting
9:03
Speaker 9: for years who validly want to be here family reunion
9:07
Speaker 9: or indeed bring skills to Australia and they can't get
9:10
Speaker 9: approval this Immigration department. And I'm a former minister in
9:13
Speaker 9: that department. It pains me to say it yet again.
9:16
Speaker 9: But that department doesn't know how to do nation building anymore,
9:20
Speaker 9: doesn't know how to make it possible for things to happen.
9:24
Speaker 1: They don't want to decide.
9:25
Speaker 9: They want to say, oh well, I'll say no, so
9:27
Speaker 9: you can appeal and someone else can make the decision.
9:30
Speaker 1: That's not what we want.
9:31
Speaker 9: We need people with skills, with values that will actually
9:34
Speaker 9: enhance Australia, not something that's going to tear it apart
9:38
Speaker 9: from within. And Tony Burke and Anthony Albanezi are not
9:41
Speaker 9: real good on this. They're too worried about their votes
9:44
Speaker 9: in Western Sydney to worry about what Australia needs right now.
9:49
Speaker 2: Now, turning our attention to the US, just briefly, Elon
9:53
Speaker 2: Musker sat down with a former Fox News host, Tucker Carlson,
9:57
Speaker 2: who was a wide ranging interview went for some time,
10:00
Speaker 2: and this little tidbit about Jeffrey Epstein's client list got
10:05
Speaker 2: my interest because it is remarkable that the names on
10:10
Speaker 2: that least rich powerful people have never been exposed. There
10:15
Speaker 2: seems to be no investigations that it's all forgotten about,
10:18
Speaker 2: and Elon Musk is a theory about that.
10:21
Speaker 11: You know, I think part of why Kamala is getting
10:24
Speaker 11: so much support is that if Trump wins, that Efstein
10:28
Speaker 11: clientless is going to become public. Yes, and some of
10:33
Speaker 11: those billionaires behind Kamala are terrified of that outcome.
10:35
Speaker 2: What do you make of that, Gary, Do you think
10:37
Speaker 2: there are some nervous billionaires worried that Trump is going
10:41
Speaker 2: to win and one of the focuses of his administration,
10:45
Speaker 2: one of many, obviously, will be who was on that
10:48
Speaker 2: list who was compromised by Jeffrey Epstein.
10:54
Speaker 9: Well, people have a lot to say about Donald Trump,
10:56
Speaker 9: but he's kind of wizy wig, isn't he What you
10:58
Speaker 9: see is what you get. I don't think Trump high,
11:00
Speaker 9: it's anything. He's just so open. He said, I'll publish
11:04
Speaker 9: the list of all the people that are on Epstein's
11:07
Speaker 9: client list, and that is of course going to be
11:10
Speaker 9: problematic to household names. Some of them may well be
11:14
Speaker 9: in Hollywood, some of them may well be billionaires.
11:16
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I'm very confident I'm not on
11:19
Speaker 1: the list. Reader, That's all I know.
11:22
Speaker 9: So look, you know, publish and be damned, I say
11:25
Speaker 9: an Elon musk Well, I think he's.
11:27
Speaker 1: A revelation to this election campaign.
11:29
Speaker 9: This guy basically cares about America, as indeed does Donald Trump,
11:34
Speaker 9: and I think those who are howling them down have got, potentially,
11:39
Speaker 9: you know, something to hide. I want the swamp drained
11:42
Speaker 9: and I want it so that it becomes a desert
11:45
Speaker 9: for some years ahead.
11:46
Speaker 1: The world needs a change.
11:49
Speaker 2: Gary hard Grave, thanks for your time this evening. Joining
11:53
Speaker 2: me now is leading geologist and author Professor Ian Primer.
11:58
Speaker 2: Professor Primer before we get to Chris Bowen's latest claims,
12:02
Speaker 2: you're a proud South Australian these days, and I noticed
12:05
Speaker 2: there's quite the debate happening right now about a supposedly
12:09
Speaker 2: racist street name in regional South Australia. Water Range Council
12:14
Speaker 2: has received a complaint, a single complaint about Chinaman's Lane
12:19
Speaker 2: in Panola from a resident who apparently only moved to
12:23
Speaker 2: the area recently. But they are ashamed of their street name,
12:27
Speaker 2: and so there's this debate about should it be change.
12:31
Speaker 2: What are your feelings on this.
12:33
Speaker 8: Well, We've got a couple of places in South Australia
12:35
Speaker 8: called Chinaman's Wells and really this is telling you something
12:39
Speaker 8: about history where you've had a long history of Chinese
12:42
Speaker 8: in Australia. They came to Australia in the eighteen fifties
12:45
Speaker 8: for the gold rush. Victoria actually banned them coming into Victoria,
12:49
Speaker 8: so they would come into South Australia and walk across
12:52
Speaker 8: to the gold fields. These were hard workers. They'd built
12:55
Speaker 8: many of our shearing sheds in the outback. They dug
12:58
Speaker 8: many of the wells in the outback. They came to
13:01
Speaker 8: as indentured labor in many cases to try to get wealthy.
13:05
Speaker 8: They grew vegetables, they grew fruit. Later on they came
13:09
Speaker 8: to Australia for different reasons. I had many students who
13:13
Speaker 8: had escaped Gentleman Square. More recently, we've got Chinese who
13:16
Speaker 8: were probably hedging their bets and buying real estate here
13:19
Speaker 8: and getting educated here. This complainert should know a little
13:23
Speaker 8: bit about history. The Chinese tried to have a better life.
13:28
Speaker 8: They built a better Australia and they were recognized for this.
13:32
Speaker 8: We knew where they lived and we named places after them. Now,
13:35
Speaker 8: if we're going to be that sensitive, besides taking a
13:37
Speaker 8: tea spoon of cement every day to harden up, which
13:40
Speaker 8: you would change all the street names that have got
13:42
Speaker 8: anything to do with any ethnic group. Now, I suspect
13:45
Speaker 8: that the councils should be more concerned about roads and
13:48
Speaker 8: rates and rubbish and especially potholes because potholes are diverse
13:53
Speaker 8: and they're inclusive. Everyone hits them. So that's the diversity
13:58
Speaker 8: and inclusiveness.
14:00
Speaker 2: Filling the potholes with you, and I can almost guarantee
14:05
Speaker 2: that the complainant here is not Chinese or Asian. It
14:09
Speaker 2: will be some probably privileged, white, university educated type who
14:14
Speaker 2: is offended on the behalf of others. We see them
14:17
Speaker 2: every day.
14:18
Speaker 8: It's normally well university. Now they've been to the university doesn't
14:22
Speaker 8: mean they're educated, and I've met far more educated people,
14:25
Speaker 8: especially in the Bush, who haven't been the university. What
14:28
Speaker 8: they've done is they've been polluted by university.
14:31
Speaker 1: Not educated.
14:34
Speaker 2: Now let's check in with everyone's favorite minister, Climate and
14:38
Speaker 2: Energy Minister Chris Bowen. Here is boasting about ticking off
14:43
Speaker 2: over sixty renewable energy projects in two years. He posted
14:47
Speaker 2: this on x He said this is enough to power
14:51
Speaker 2: seven million Australian homes. But Professor, the question is, we
14:55
Speaker 2: are told by Minister Bowen and others within labor that
14:59
Speaker 2: renewables the cheapest form of energy. So if we've got
15:03
Speaker 2: renewables powering seven million homes. Why are our bills higher
15:08
Speaker 2: than ever? How does this make sense?
15:10
Speaker 8: Well, it's misleading and deceptive. But he goes down in
15:14
Speaker 8: history as being the Minister's cleared the most land and
15:17
Speaker 8: destroyed the most farm land in the history of Australia.
15:20
Speaker 8: And that's by putting in soil factories and wind factories,
15:23
Speaker 8: which permanently scar the land. They cost a lot of money.
15:28
Speaker 8: The greater distances of transmission cost money, and we pay
15:32
Speaker 8: for it in our electricity bills. I'm old enough to
15:35
Speaker 8: remember when we had cheap, reliable power, and that came
15:39
Speaker 8: from coal. In Victoria where you are, you had the
15:41
Speaker 8: cheapest energy in the world for a very long period
15:44
Speaker 8: of time. And since we put in these so called renewables,
15:49
Speaker 8: then the cost of energy has gone up. Now they're
15:52
Speaker 8: renewable because we keep giving them subsidies. These subsidies get
15:56
Speaker 8: renewed every year. But it doesn't operate twenty four to
16:00
Speaker 8: seven three sixty five. We have to have back up.
16:03
Speaker 8: We have to have coal fired powerstations running non stop
16:07
Speaker 8: to put on and put electricity into the grid. As
16:10
Speaker 8: soon as the sun doesn't shine on the wind doesn't blow. So,
16:13
Speaker 8: mister Bone, he comes up every week in your program.
16:17
Speaker 8: I mean, why don't we just get him on the
16:19
Speaker 8: program and have a discussion. I'm sure he'd be willing
16:22
Speaker 8: to do it.
16:23
Speaker 12: He's won't come.
16:24
Speaker 8: Oh no, he's a generous democratic.
16:27
Speaker 2: He has an invitation, open invitation, mister Bowen, come here,
16:33
Speaker 2: and I will promise we won't even interrupt. You can
16:36
Speaker 2: just have thirty seconds, sixty seconds, whatever you like, and
16:39
Speaker 2: we'll go backwards and forwards. It will be very very
16:44
Speaker 2: It would be very polite. There will be no angst whatsoever. Now,
16:48
Speaker 2: before you go, I want to play this clip from MSNBC.
16:51
Speaker 2: They decided to bring out Bill Nyvy, so called science guy,
16:56
Speaker 2: to talk about hurricane slashing United States Florida expecting another one,
17:02
Speaker 2: and his solution to this issue seems to be to
17:05
Speaker 2: vote for Kamala Harris.
17:06
Speaker 13: The other side, as we often call it, This plan
17:09
Speaker 13: has no plans to address climate change, no plans for
17:14
Speaker 13: long term dealing with these sorts of problems. If you
17:19
Speaker 13: have young voters out there encouraged them to vote, people say,
17:23
Speaker 13: what can I do about climate change? If we were
17:26
Speaker 13: talking about it, associating it with big storms like this,
17:29
Speaker 13: that would be really good, But the main thing is vote.
17:34
Speaker 2: Thank you, oh dear professor. He went on to say
17:39
Speaker 2: that these hurricanes, including Hurricane Helena, directly linked to climate
17:45
Speaker 2: change because the waters around Florida are warm.
17:50
Speaker 8: Well, we have one hundred and fifty year record of
17:52
Speaker 8: hurricanes in the US well recorded with the intensity of
17:56
Speaker 8: the hurricane and the number of hurricanes, and Florida is
18:00
Speaker 8: the place which gets hit very hard. Now we know
18:03
Speaker 8: from that record that over that one hundred and fifty years,
18:07
Speaker 8: the number and the intensity of hurricanes has been decreasing.
18:11
Speaker 8: So what Bill Nay is doing is just showing that
18:14
Speaker 8: he's politically brain dead. He's not looking at any facts,
18:18
Speaker 8: and these facts are from government agencies that already quite biased.
18:24
Speaker 8: So this is appalling television where no one questioned him.
18:27
Speaker 8: It's appalling politics. And if Americans vote for Democrats on
18:32
Speaker 8: that basis, then God helped the world.
18:36
Speaker 2: Professor Plimer, always a pleasure to speak with you.
18:40
Speaker 8: Thank you.
18:41
Speaker 2: Still to come left is losing ad class. Army Horowizt
18:45
Speaker 2: goes under cover at a pro palacin in rally.
18:48
Speaker 3: You will not believe your ears. Welcome back.
19:01
Speaker 2: Now it's time for lefties losing it and a reminder
19:05
Speaker 2: you don't hate the leftist media enough. You think you do,
19:08
Speaker 2: But then they go and pull something like this. Here
19:11
Speaker 2: is ABC deliberately and deceptively editing a clip that turns
19:15
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris from weak and incoherent too strong and decisive.
19:20
Speaker 2: Watch the original clip that they posted that was widely mocked,
19:25
Speaker 2: followed by the version that went to air on Monday night.
19:28
Speaker 2: See if you can spot the not so subtle difference.
19:31
Speaker 3: But it seems that Prime Minister Netanya who is not listening.
19:36
Speaker 14: Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted
19:41
Speaker 14: in a number of movements in that region by Israel
19:47
Speaker 14: that were very much prompted by or a result of
19:53
Speaker 14: many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen
19:57
Speaker 14: in the region.
19:57
Speaker 3: But it seems that Prime Minister net who is not listening.
20:02
Speaker 14: We're not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for
20:05
Speaker 14: the United States to be clear about where we stand
20:08
Speaker 14: on the need for this war to end.
20:10
Speaker 2: That second part wasn't even in the first and so
20:13
Speaker 2: where didn't they find that?
20:14
Speaker 12: Goodness?
20:15
Speaker 2: May now soon I'll be bringing you Kamala's top six
20:18
Speaker 2: worst moments from the view today. But First, let's go
20:22
Speaker 2: to this character again. This time he's boasting about making
20:25
Speaker 2: his colleagues feel uncomfortable in various issueries.
20:29
Speaker 15: My job involves multiple work sites, and that sometimes means
20:32
Speaker 15: I'm with other colleagues and we leave one place and
20:35
Speaker 15: walk to another, and we'll stop at about deco or
20:36
Speaker 15: coffee shop along the way. Since happened several times, it's
20:39
Speaker 15: just why I'm sharing this. We're in the coffee shop.
20:41
Speaker 15: I'm ordering my drink. Oh, here's your change, ma'am. Ope, ma'am,
20:45
Speaker 15: here's your coffee, your orders?
20:46
Speaker 1: You ready?
20:47
Speaker 16: Miss y'all.
20:48
Speaker 15: The discomfort my colleagues experience seeing me out in the
20:52
Speaker 15: world being treated as a woman is hilarious and also
20:56
Speaker 15: deeply sad. Talking visibly uncomfortable of their skin.
21:01
Speaker 2: To the lefty heartland of California, the one party state
21:05
Speaker 2: where Democrats dominate. If you want to see what the
21:07
Speaker 2: Democrat's vision for America is, then just have a look
21:10
Speaker 2: at California. It's going really well there. Have a look
21:13
Speaker 2: at what they call street takeovers, which are essentially wild
21:17
Speaker 2: mobs going on crime sprees with little fear of arrest
21:21
Speaker 2: or consequences. Watch what happened on Sunday when a lone
21:25
Speaker 2: seven to eleven worker tried to protect his store. Sadly,
21:29
Speaker 2: he can't hold the mob at bay for too long.
21:32
Speaker 2: He gave it a red hot go, but in the
21:35
Speaker 2: end the mob wins. Let's check in on former MSNBC
21:48
Speaker 2: hosts Keith Oberman. He he calls on Biden to deport
21:53
Speaker 2: US citizen Elon Musk. Yeah, this is really sane and normal.
21:58
Speaker 4: Time to cancel all the contracts and reassess his immigration
22:02
Speaker 4: status and hopefully to port him the hell out of
22:05
Speaker 4: the country. And if we can't do that by conventional means,
22:09
Speaker 4: President Biden, you have presidential immunity. Get Elon Musk the
22:14
Speaker 4: out of our country and do it now.
22:19
Speaker 2: Now to a mile teacher who is upset that only
22:22
Speaker 2: one of his students has noticed or commented on his boobies,
22:27
Speaker 2: here is another ad for homeschooling.
22:30
Speaker 17: One of my students, I'm a teenager, was ranting to
22:37
Speaker 17: me about how it's so easy for her to notice,
22:40
Speaker 17: how come no one else has noticed. She's kind of
22:43
Speaker 17: got a point, and I'm not actually hiding purple curly hair,
22:51
Speaker 17: cat's eye glasses in the classroom, painted nails all the time,
22:57
Speaker 17: bracelets wear skinny jeans. How did people not notice? How
23:04
Speaker 17: have they not noticed beacups yet?
23:06
Speaker 2: Here's another reminder that you don't hate the leftist media enough.
23:10
Speaker 2: You think you do, but then you see this.
23:12
Speaker 1: So the laughable Donald Trump took a bullet for democracy
23:17
Speaker 1: versus a president who wants to put the country first.
23:21
Speaker 2: And don't Antifa always live up to the opposite of
23:25
Speaker 2: their name. They're supposed to be anti fascists, but they
23:29
Speaker 2: are the fascists. And here is one of their Canadian
23:31
Speaker 2: activists proudly proclaiming that, yes, they celebrate the barbarity of
23:37
Speaker 2: October seven.
23:38
Speaker 17: So we see that the fascist newspaper saying we are
23:41
Speaker 17: here to celebrate the seventh of October.
23:43
Speaker 2: Look, yes, we are here to celebrate the seven. As
23:50
Speaker 2: a wise woman once said, when people show you who
23:53
Speaker 2: they are, believe them the first time.
23:56
Speaker 3: Okay, we've waited long enough.
23:57
Speaker 2: Let's see the horror that is Kamala Harris and the
24:00
Speaker 2: ladies of the View all together. It started bad and
24:03
Speaker 2: it only got worse. Here are the top six worst moments.
24:08
Speaker 2: To be honest, they're all bad. I just picked these randomly.
24:11
Speaker 2: Coming in at number six was the introduction by Whoopee,
24:15
Speaker 2: get your buckets ready. She laid it on thick.
24:18
Speaker 6: Please welcome back.
24:22
Speaker 16: The next President United said, Oh my.
24:31
Speaker 6: God, I'm so exciting.
24:33
Speaker 2: And you thought that was bad. Watch the post interview
24:37
Speaker 2: reaction from Whoopee. She looks like she needs a cigarette.
24:42
Speaker 6: Well, I'm just basking in.
24:46
Speaker 8: The light.
24:48
Speaker 3: You know, it's pretty remarkable.
24:50
Speaker 2: She's basking in the light. I'm just happy to see
24:53
Speaker 2: them happy because they're often joyless, including joy Beha, proving
24:58
Speaker 2: yet again that she' this in some sad echo chamber
25:02
Speaker 2: on a parallel universe.
25:05
Speaker 6: Listen to this.
25:05
Speaker 12: She thinks the only.
25:06
Speaker 2: Reason someone would vote for Donald Trump is if they
25:09
Speaker 2: get bad information from other channels and watch Kamala Harris
25:14
Speaker 2: not along to this.
25:16
Speaker 18: People are saying this could be the closest election in
25:18
Speaker 18: a century. I personally cannot understand why anyone would vote
25:22
Speaker 18: for him. A lot of it is I think he's
25:23
Speaker 18: getting bad people are getting bad information from other channels.
25:27
Speaker 18: But do you have an explanation for this at all?
25:30
Speaker 2: Another terrible moment was this bit of gas lighting from
25:34
Speaker 2: the View Ladies and Kamala where they blamed the man
25:37
Speaker 2: who was tough on borders for the Biden Harris administration's
25:41
Speaker 2: border crisis.
25:43
Speaker 6: When you were here.
25:43
Speaker 18: Last I asked about the border, which remains a top
25:45
Speaker 18: issue to voters. And as you lately pointed out, the
25:48
Speaker 18: former president blocked the strongest border security bill in decades.
25:54
Speaker 2: Yes, they literally began dismantling every Trump era policy on
25:59
Speaker 2: the border on and that's why they had record numbers
26:03
Speaker 2: of the legal immigrants coming in. They recorded record numbers
26:07
Speaker 2: every single year of the Biden Harris administration. And talking
26:11
Speaker 2: about gas lighting, listen to Anna Novara blamed Trump for
26:14
Speaker 2: the Biden Harris administrations wofle response to Hurricane Helene. Apparently
26:19
Speaker 2: Trump pointing out the White House's failings is what's really dangerous,
26:24
Speaker 2: not all the folks without food, water, shelter, who are
26:28
Speaker 2: not getting the help they need.
26:29
Speaker 16: What do you think the effect of these lies are
26:32
Speaker 16: and why is he doing this?
26:36
Speaker 14: It's profound and it is the height of irresponsibility and
26:40
Speaker 14: frankly callousness. So lives are literally at stake right now.
26:47
Speaker 2: We know Kamala and just about every person interviewed in
26:51
Speaker 2: that region has spoken about how FEMA has failed them.
26:55
Speaker 2: The worst moment though, of Kamala's appearance on the view,
26:58
Speaker 2: when she's when she spoke the truth. That was the
27:01
Speaker 2: worst moment because brace yourself, folks, unlikely that you're going
27:04
Speaker 2: to see this sort of honesty again from her. This
27:08
Speaker 2: is devastating.
27:09
Speaker 16: Well, if anything, would you have done something differently than
27:14
Speaker 16: President Baden during the past four years?
27:18
Speaker 14: There is done a thing that comes to mind in
27:21
Speaker 14: terms of and I've been a part of most of
27:24
Speaker 14: the decisions that have had impact.
27:26
Speaker 2: Nothing comes to mind. I thought she was the change candidate.
27:30
Speaker 2: She was going to turn the page. Now have you
27:33
Speaker 2: noticed how none of the Free Palestine protess has ever
27:36
Speaker 2: chant against her mass against the atrocities of October seven?
27:41
Speaker 2: Could it be that some of them agree with the
27:43
Speaker 2: barbarity that was unleashed.
27:45
Speaker 3: Let's see what.
27:46
Speaker 2: Happens when a Jewish documentary filmmaker Donza Kafia and goes
27:50
Speaker 2: under cover at a rally.
27:53
Speaker 6: Do you think that October seventh was too much?
27:59
Speaker 1: It was just everything?
28:01
Speaker 6: So October seven is one hundred percent justified. We went
28:04
Speaker 6: to the more October seventh.
28:06
Speaker 19: Do you think October seventh actually was the Israeli government
28:10
Speaker 19: killing its own people to justify the.
28:13
Speaker 6: Invasion of Gaza?
28:14
Speaker 8: Absolutely, because it's a huge campaign and they need they
28:18
Speaker 8: need an excuse.
28:19
Speaker 2: Yep, that's Army horrowedz. And it seems that in their
28:22
Speaker 2: own leftist circles, these activists freely admit to believing Israel
28:27
Speaker 2: was behind the October seven attack.
28:30
Speaker 19: The Israelis actually did it as a false flag operations, I.
28:33
Speaker 17: Think, Yeah, I think a lot of I think a
28:35
Speaker 17: lot of it was self infected.
28:36
Speaker 19: Yeah, they killed their own people and Israel killed their
28:42
Speaker 19: old people to justify the guy's invasion.
28:45
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, do you think.
28:46
Speaker 19: That October seventh was actually committed by Israel?
28:49
Speaker 20: So yeah, AHAs doesn't have the kind of military weapons
28:53
Speaker 20: that would have incinerated houses and you know, the kind
28:57
Speaker 20: of destruction.
28:58
Speaker 6: They don't have that kind.
28:59
Speaker 20: Of sophisticated weaponry. So it is most definitely Israel that
29:05
Speaker 20: did it, you know, So there's.
29:08
Speaker 2: No denying that sophisticated weaponry of what like matches a fire.
29:13
Speaker 2: Joining me now is documentary filmmaker and commentator Army Horowitz. Army,
29:18
Speaker 2: how did it feel to march with these people who
29:21
Speaker 2: want to see the destruction of the only Jewish state,
29:24
Speaker 2: who some of them defend what happened on October seven?
29:29
Speaker 19: Yeah, By the way, I gotta say, I like my
29:31
Speaker 19: terror sheik. Look, what do you think I think I
29:33
Speaker 19: should adopt it going forward now to come on the show.
29:39
Speaker 2: Look, the reason why I did I will surprise people.
29:42
Speaker 6: Yeah, no necessary. You know what, I'm always looking to zig.
29:45
Speaker 19: One of the people think I'm gonna zag, that's my brand. Look,
29:49
Speaker 19: the reason why I did this is because I want
29:52
Speaker 19: to show these people stand for who they are. But
29:54
Speaker 19: the media portrays them as simply people who feel bad
29:58
Speaker 19: for the guys ins or being put upon by these
30:02
Speaker 19: rarely war machines. They simply want to help the Palestinians
30:05
Speaker 19: to get aid and to get help. That's how they're
30:07
Speaker 19: portrayed by the media. I spent all day with these people,
30:11
Speaker 19: ask him the same questions, and I didn't get a
30:14
Speaker 19: single person who said at the October's. Look, they did
30:18
Speaker 19: it on October seventh. Three Now, they didn't do it
30:20
Speaker 19: on a different day where they could have any day
30:22
Speaker 19: in this year they could do a rally support the Palaestdians.
30:25
Speaker 19: They chose October seventh because it is a celebration for them.
30:30
Speaker 19: Every single person I spoke to said what happened October
30:35
Speaker 19: seventh was legitimate. They all said they stand with hamas
30:39
Speaker 19: who's standing for the Palestinian people. And by the way,
30:42
Speaker 19: then oddly the same time they hold his belief And
30:44
Speaker 19: by the way, I don't even know this was a thing.
30:46
Speaker 19: Every single person I spoke with said, like in the clip,
30:51
Speaker 19: that Israel actually committed October seven and it was a
30:55
Speaker 19: false flag operation in order to wipe out the Palestinians.
31:00
Speaker 6: This is what they truly believe in.
31:02
Speaker 19: And of course what supersedes the evil of Israel is
31:06
Speaker 19: of course the evil of the US. They share the
31:10
Speaker 19: hatred with the United States. And of course it was
31:15
Speaker 19: a group, a coalition of leftist lunatics, which I find
31:18
Speaker 19: it so interesting because you have the LGBTQ people out there,
31:22
Speaker 19: the climate change people out there, the anti capitalist people out.
31:26
Speaker 2: There, and you know it perfectly well that they're as
31:28
Speaker 2: anti American as they are anti Israel. Or you turned
31:32
Speaker 2: up to one of these protests with just an American
31:34
Speaker 2: flag and you were set upon and assaulted by multiple people.
31:39
Speaker 2: So we've already played that footage in the past. Let's
31:42
Speaker 2: turn our attention to Kamala Harris's campaign. She's gone from
31:47
Speaker 2: doing no interviews to doing a whole bunch of interviews
31:50
Speaker 2: with normally we're very friendly types. She's done sixty minutes.
31:55
Speaker 2: She's sat down with Howard sterned on an interview there
31:59
Speaker 2: they call her Daddy Podcast. What do you see is
32:03
Speaker 2: behind this change in strategy and is it working?
32:09
Speaker 6: Yeah?
32:09
Speaker 19: Look, she's not very smart. I think that's what coma
32:13
Speaker 19: cops pretty clearly. I think that's the reason why she's
32:16
Speaker 19: so popular among the white college student group of people,
32:21
Speaker 19: because she is the definition of a pseudo intellectual, right,
32:24
Speaker 19: she kind of strings together a bunch of platitudes as
32:27
Speaker 19: if her speech writer was formerly employed by a fortune
32:31
Speaker 19: cookie company.
32:32
Speaker 6: She put those together. People a look how smart she is,
32:34
Speaker 6: which she's.
32:35
Speaker 19: Really obviously saying nothing. Look, she's not good at this.
32:39
Speaker 19: And it's incredible, incredible to me how she's so ill
32:43
Speaker 19: prepared for the question that she knows she's gonna get
32:46
Speaker 19: right that even among friendly media. And that's why she's
32:49
Speaker 19: not preppy, because she knows, she's doing all these interviews
32:51
Speaker 19: among the friendly media, that she's not gonna get pressed
32:55
Speaker 19: on those issues until that is.
32:58
Speaker 6: She had that sixty.
32:59
Speaker 19: Minutes interviewed with the always well coifed Bill Bussall Whittaker,
33:04
Speaker 19: who was like a dog with a t bone stick.
33:06
Speaker 6: He wouldn't let go over. It was phenomenal. It was
33:08
Speaker 6: something to behold. You know.
33:11
Speaker 19: She was sitting there and he asked her all the
33:14
Speaker 19: typical questions. She of course deflected because she has no answers,
33:17
Speaker 19: but he wouldn't let it go.
33:19
Speaker 6: It was great. When he was talking about the border, she.
33:22
Speaker 19: Kept deflecting, and he kept going. He went back that
33:25
Speaker 19: well three times in the border, saying, yes, you say
33:28
Speaker 19: the numbers.
33:29
Speaker 6: Have gone down now, but they quite.
33:31
Speaker 19: Rupled under your tutelage, under your starship from Trump. And
33:37
Speaker 19: of course she couldn't do. He was talking with the economy.
33:39
Speaker 19: She of course was moving away from those questions. He
33:43
Speaker 19: interrupted her. He kept going back to it. It was
33:46
Speaker 19: something to see. Good for him. I'm glad he did it.
33:52
Speaker 2: Yes, I've yeah, he was tougher than she's face. But
33:56
Speaker 2: still I thought she got away with plenty. There was
33:59
Speaker 2: a lot of plata chudes, a lot of empty statements,
34:02
Speaker 2: even the whole how you going to pay for this? Well,
34:04
Speaker 2: we're going to tax the rich because the rich don't
34:06
Speaker 2: pay any tax. When he would have known perfectly well
34:09
Speaker 2: that that was a data point he could have corrected
34:12
Speaker 2: her on. And this mystery now with ABC posting these
34:16
Speaker 2: two different versions of her answer on Israel and being
34:21
Speaker 2: having some influence on Prime Minister nettin Yahoo, that two
34:26
Speaker 2: very different answers, one posted Sunday and the other one
34:30
Speaker 2: that went to air on Monday, and the one that
34:32
Speaker 2: went to air on Monday makes Kamala look far more
34:36
Speaker 2: coherent and strong compared to the word salad we got,
34:40
Speaker 2: which is I think the full answer, which everybody mocked widely.
34:44
Speaker 2: So I think even the ABC, despite doing a tough interview,
34:48
Speaker 2: are doing their best to protect her. Meanwhile, on the
34:52
Speaker 2: view which was very friendly, indeed where she was just
34:55
Speaker 2: loved and adored, I think that's where she really screwed up.
34:59
Speaker 2: Because have a listen to this answer. I think this
35:02
Speaker 2: is the Trump campaign's next ad.
35:05
Speaker 16: If anything, would you have done something differently than President
35:10
Speaker 16: Baden during the past four years?
35:14
Speaker 14: There is done a thing that comes to mind in
35:16
Speaker 14: terms of and I've been a part of most of
35:20
Speaker 14: the decisions that have had impact.
35:22
Speaker 2: I can't believe she said that Army.
35:24
Speaker 3: Why would she.
35:26
Speaker 2: She's tried to distance herself from the Biden Harris administration.
35:31
Speaker 2: She's tried to present herself as the change candidate. We're
35:35
Speaker 2: turning the page, it's a new day. And yet she
35:38
Speaker 2: just said she can't think of a thing she would
35:40
Speaker 2: have done differently.
35:43
Speaker 19: She's so bad at this. Look, she's a bad politician.
35:47
Speaker 19: She has fallen down upwards in every single position she
35:52
Speaker 19: has gotten.
35:52
Speaker 6: Look, of course there's an answer for that.
35:54
Speaker 19: Well, look, what's incredible to me again is that this
35:57
Speaker 19: is an election of change.
35:59
Speaker 1: Right.
35:59
Speaker 19: The majority of people want to change candidate, but the
36:01
Speaker 19: majority of people see Trump as the change candidate, because,
36:05
Speaker 19: like she admits, she looks. She says it, I was
36:08
Speaker 19: in the room for all the decisions. Yeah, they were
36:11
Speaker 19: all crappy decisions, right, but she looks she didn't.
36:15
Speaker 6: Look.
36:15
Speaker 19: The truth is she's in a tough spot. I don't
36:16
Speaker 19: want to give her a pass here, but she's in
36:18
Speaker 19: a very tough spot. Either she's going to condemn the
36:21
Speaker 19: policies that she was beholding to her she was actually pursuing,
36:25
Speaker 19: or she had to say, look, I agree with them
36:29
Speaker 19: all and they were all crappy policies, which is why
36:32
Speaker 19: he had to leave the race, because everyone knows he'd
36:36
Speaker 19: be on the worst presidence we ever had.
36:38
Speaker 6: Tough spot.
36:39
Speaker 2: I feel for well, it's a tough spot. But like
36:43
Speaker 2: you said, it was a question, she would have anticipated
36:46
Speaker 2: it and it's something she's going to be ready for.
36:48
Speaker 2: How are you different from the last four years? How
36:51
Speaker 2: you the change candidate? And she had nothing? Now President
36:55
Speaker 2: Biden has done it again. He is a spiken to
36:59
Speaker 2: the media. Kamala was on air stealing her thunder and
37:03
Speaker 2: he made a point of setting the records straight on
37:06
Speaker 2: Governor Ron DeSantis, Florida governor who Kamala Harris had accused
37:11
Speaker 2: of playing politics with hurricane relief.
37:14
Speaker 14: Playing political games with Chris Norman in this crazy situations
37:18
Speaker 14: list of emergency situation isn't utterly irreturnable.
37:23
Speaker 2: And it is seltou Now. Desantas slammed Kamala Harris for
37:27
Speaker 2: that bit of gas lighting, pointing that she's never made
37:30
Speaker 2: contact before during natural disasters that he's dealt with and
37:34
Speaker 2: that he talks to the president, not her, and remarkably,
37:38
Speaker 2: President Biden backed him up.
37:41
Speaker 3: This is telling.
37:42
Speaker 11: The governor of Florida has been cooperative.
37:45
Speaker 1: He said he's gotten all that he needs.
37:46
Speaker 5: I talked to him again yesterday and I said, whoever,
37:50
Speaker 5: I said, no, you're doing a great job.
37:52
Speaker 1: It's being all being done well.
37:54
Speaker 13: We thank you for it, and I literally gave my
37:56
Speaker 13: personal phone number to call.
37:58
Speaker 2: Is he trying to under mine? Is this deliberate? Or
38:02
Speaker 2: am I rating too much into it? Is it just
38:04
Speaker 2: Joe Boden sort of being unaway?
38:07
Speaker 19: Oh, come on, give the old man a pass. Hasn't
38:10
Speaker 19: he gone through enough Rita? He doesn't need it from
38:12
Speaker 19: you doubling down in him. Let's just let it go.
38:14
Speaker 6: Look this whole riff on the.
38:17
Speaker 19: Santas Harris and him not taking a phone call, I mean,
38:20
Speaker 19: he's just so gross.
38:23
Speaker 6: I see. The man is right now in the.
38:26
Speaker 19: Middle of dealing with his second major hurricane in a week,
38:31
Speaker 19: the one that's hitting now they say is the biggest
38:33
Speaker 19: hurricane hit Florida in.
38:34
Speaker 6: One hundred years.
38:35
Speaker 19: Sorry, Kamala's he's a little bit busy prepping for it,
38:40
Speaker 19: like he said, Like he's a she's like a Spern girlfriend.
38:43
Speaker 19: Like he won't take my phone call, turning my text. Yeah,
38:46
Speaker 19: he's got more important things to do than deal with
38:49
Speaker 19: your craziness. I mean, leave the man alone to call
38:51
Speaker 19: him selfish. Who's being selfish? You're politicizing this, You're making
38:56
Speaker 19: this about you. She can't help herself. You're the VP,
38:59
Speaker 19: you have absolutely no.
39:01
Speaker 6: Role when it comes to this.
39:03
Speaker 19: But look, I think she, rather than bothering him, we
39:06
Speaker 19: was trying to prepare maybe she could focus on FEMA,
39:09
Speaker 19: which by the way, has a tremendous amount of problems.
39:12
Speaker 19: First of all, their only FEMA could only make available
39:16
Speaker 19: right now for this hurricane nine percent of its staff
39:18
Speaker 19: for hurricane relief, when historically twenty five.
39:21
Speaker 6: Percent of staff is there.
39:22
Speaker 19: Because they're having massive staffing problems, thirty three percent of
39:26
Speaker 19: all the jobs in FEMA are still unfilled when we're
39:30
Speaker 19: standing trillions and trillions of dollars. And then even more gross,
39:35
Speaker 19: this webinar came out. I don't know if you saw this.
39:37
Speaker 19: This webinar came out where they were actually saying that
39:41
Speaker 19: THEMA was saying that we have to prioritize equity over
39:45
Speaker 19: absolutely helping the most amount of people possible.
39:49
Speaker 6: It's literal.
39:49
Speaker 19: This is what intersectionality actually becomes deadly.
39:53
Speaker 6: Okay.
39:53
Speaker 19: Then a second webinar came out. They said, we've got
39:56
Speaker 19: to prioritize LBGQIA plus maya signe Apperson. That is how Look,
40:01
Speaker 19: it reminds me of that New Yorker cartoon that came
40:04
Speaker 19: out my favorite cartoon that said, the world is ending,
40:07
Speaker 19: minority is disproportionately affected.
40:09
Speaker 1: That's where we are.
40:10
Speaker 6: We're actually living in New Yorker cartoon.
40:15
Speaker 2: Me Horowitz. Thank you so much for your time tonight,
40:18
Speaker 2: always your pleasure. Still to come. A teacher wins a
40:21
Speaker 2: massive settlement after being sacked for refusing to use a
40:25
Speaker 2: student's preferred pronounce. Stephanie Bastian up next, welcome back. Joining
40:38
Speaker 2: me now is head of Advocacy from Women's Forum Australia,
40:42
Speaker 2: Stephanie Bastian. Stephanie, thank you for your time. Now. We've
40:46
Speaker 2: seen some shocking revelations in the Australian Today about how
40:50
Speaker 2: our court system is still relying on outdated information and
40:54
Speaker 2: approving access to permanent treatments, including irreversible surgeries, hormone treatments
41:00
Speaker 2: puberty blockers. Barrister Belle Lane, a leading Australian legal professor
41:05
Speaker 2: on gender dysphoria cases, has written a paper calling on
41:08
Speaker 2: the courts to look at the processes being adopted by
41:12
Speaker 2: many Scandinavian countries where puberty blockers cross sex hormones are becoming.
41:17
Speaker 2: Now eight last resort Australia Steel Step following this affirmation
41:25
Speaker 2: model blindly. We're one of the last places that's doing
41:28
Speaker 2: that despite all the evidence that's come out in the UK,
41:32
Speaker 2: Scandinavian country's number of US states showing that this can
41:37
Speaker 2: be a really harmful path for many confused kids.
41:41
Speaker 21: Absolutely, well, good evening, Rita, thanks for having me on tonight. Yeah,
41:44
Speaker 21: it's very concerning. The government seems to have its head
41:47
Speaker 21: in the sand. We know the findings of the Castro
41:49
Speaker 21: Court do impact Australia, yet our political leaders and I
41:53
Speaker 21: think captured by powerful lobbyist groups like ACON, are continuing
41:58
Speaker 21: to deny that this is having a big impact on
42:01
Speaker 21: particularly children, and we know that girls are disproportionately affected,
42:05
Speaker 21: particularly girls in schools. There's a social contagion element, there's
42:09
Speaker 21: a mental health component to it, and these girls are
42:13
Speaker 21: going through changes that they cannot reverse, they cannot fix.
42:17
Speaker 21: And the fact that they will not review the fact
42:20
Speaker 21: that they were using to look into it, I think
42:24
Speaker 21: shows that we're on track for a solidamide scandal two
42:26
Speaker 21: point zero.
42:28
Speaker 2: That would be shocking. But I think you're absolutely right
42:31
Speaker 2: because any child who undergoes a treatment that's irreversible that
42:37
Speaker 2: leaves them with lifelong medical complications, and they were allowed
42:42
Speaker 2: to go down that path despite all the evidence that's
42:45
Speaker 2: come to light in recent years. At that, to my mind,
42:49
Speaker 2: they've got a very good case for compensation.
42:52
Speaker 21: Absolutely, And I think another area that's impacting this are
42:55
Speaker 21: our conversion therapy laws. Now a couple of weeks ago,
42:58
Speaker 21: South Australia just passed their laws. But these conversion therapy
43:01
Speaker 21: laws essentially legislate the affirmation model only. It criminalizes parents
43:06
Speaker 21: who pursue a more holistic approach. It puts medical professionals
43:10
Speaker 21: at risk of being accused of performing conversion practices on kids.
43:17
Speaker 2: It is such a dishonest term for those laws to
43:20
Speaker 2: call it conversion therapy, so dishonest because you do have
43:25
Speaker 2: parents who say I want my child to see a
43:28
Speaker 2: psychiatrists try to work through these issues before there's any
43:32
Speaker 2: sort of drugs involved or medical procedures, and that is
43:36
Speaker 2: something that's really not allowed under that and parents could
43:40
Speaker 2: risk losing their children if it goes to the courts.
43:44
Speaker 2: There was a well known case where that's already happened.
43:48
Speaker 21: Yeah, and I think there's probably more. We've certainly sent
43:50
Speaker 21: off fis to find out how widespread the problem is
43:53
Speaker 21: in various states, but we know that these laws are
43:56
Speaker 21: affecting child protection cases and things like that because the
43:59
Speaker 21: laws are so strict and it gives the state the
44:02
Speaker 21: power to try to enforce them in this way.
44:04
Speaker 12: It gives medical clinics.
44:06
Speaker 21: Powers to report parents who are perhaps concerned about these processes. Really,
44:12
Speaker 21: it is absolutely urgent that we have an inquiry as
44:15
Speaker 21: soon as possible, because the longer the longer we take,
44:19
Speaker 21: the more damage that's going to be done on the
44:20
Speaker 21: bigger The scandal is going.
44:21
Speaker 2: To be absolutely now to a lawsuit that should serve
44:25
Speaker 2: as a warning to both public organizations and the private sector,
44:29
Speaker 2: because both of them are pushing transactivism onto their staff.
44:35
Speaker 2: A school board in Virginia has been forced to pay
44:39
Speaker 2: five hundred and seventy five thousand dollars US in a
44:42
Speaker 2: settlement to a teacher because they were fired for refusing
44:46
Speaker 2: to use the preferred pronouns of a transgender student. I
44:51
Speaker 2: think again, this is the wills are turning. Things are changing,
44:56
Speaker 2: and there is now a correction happening where people are
45:00
Speaker 2: going you're not going to couse me, You're not going
45:02
Speaker 2: to bully me into affirming someone else's delusion. If they
45:06
Speaker 2: want to pretend or if they believe they're this or that,
45:09
Speaker 2: good for them, but I shouldn't have to participate in that.
45:12
Speaker 21: Absolutely, And that's why these cases are so important, cases
45:16
Speaker 21: like sal Grover's and Jasmond Sussex. It's these cases where
45:19
Speaker 21: you test the law and hopefully bring about change, and
45:23
Speaker 21: even if there's a finding that is really wrongful and unfair,
45:28
Speaker 21: at least then it sort of pushes the conversation further
45:32
Speaker 21: to say, perhaps we need to look at repeals and reforms.
45:37
Speaker 12: So hopefully, but I am concerned.
45:39
Speaker 21: Because Victoria's obviously bringing in these vilification laws, so I
45:42
Speaker 21: think that that's just you know, Harrietshing is an activist.
45:46
Speaker 12: I think that they're going to be.
45:47
Speaker 21: Problematic and in you know, being another weapon to be
45:51
Speaker 21: used to silence discussions around women's sex base rights and
45:55
Speaker 21: treatments for genderdice for it. So I hope there's some
45:58
Speaker 21: pushback on that. But once again, these cases the world would.
46:03
Speaker 2: Be helpful if we had a I don't know, an
46:06
Speaker 2: opposition in this state that it sometimes opposed some of
46:09
Speaker 2: this mad nine. They have been missing, and I think
46:12
Speaker 2: that's where the real debate happens. That we saw that
46:15
Speaker 2: with the voice and with the majority opinion prevailed, and
46:19
Speaker 2: I think the majority opinion even here in Victoria is
46:22
Speaker 2: very clearly on one side, but we've got both labor
46:26
Speaker 2: and the liberals on the other side, so people really
46:28
Speaker 2: don't have a choice when they go to cast their vote.
46:31
Speaker 2: Before you go, there's some data from advocacy group Do
46:35
Speaker 2: No Harm. It's made up of medical professionals and they
46:39
Speaker 2: released a database although over two thousand US hospitals that
46:42
Speaker 2: have performed sex change treatments on miners, so we're talking
46:46
Speaker 2: about under eighteen here. This comes after the same group
46:50
Speaker 2: revealed that over five seven hundred American children underwent sex
46:54
Speaker 2: change surgeries between twenty nineteen and twenty twenty three. They
46:59
Speaker 2: claim these figures represent thousands of kids who are being
47:02
Speaker 2: treated like guinea pigs for unproven and sometimes dangerous medical experiments,
47:09
Speaker 2: and that's another thing that's not talked about. I don't
47:12
Speaker 2: think it's at the heart of this issue. I think
47:14
Speaker 2: it is an ideological issue. But a lot of people
47:16
Speaker 2: do point out that there's plenty of money to be
47:19
Speaker 2: made from this sector, and once you perform a surgery
47:24
Speaker 2: like this or go down the drugs path, you can
47:27
Speaker 2: create a lifelong medical patient because they need that ongoing
47:34
Speaker 2: care and often there's all sorts of complications.
47:37
Speaker 21: Absolutely, and that's what makes it so devastating. But I
47:40
Speaker 21: mean in Victoria, in Australia, we don't even have the statistics.
47:44
Speaker 12: They are not keeping drug records.
47:46
Speaker 21: If a child or a young adult has a double misseectomy,
47:48
Speaker 21: we don't know whether it's for breast cancer or for
47:50
Speaker 21: gender dysphoria. So some really good work being done in
47:54
Speaker 21: the US. We certainly need more medical professionals who have
47:58
Speaker 21: this knowledge to be maybe something similar here.
48:02
Speaker 12: I think it's really important. We need this data.
48:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, we need the data. We have to not have that.
48:07
Speaker 2: Stephanie bast And thank you for your time. And that's
48:09
Speaker 2: it from May. Up next is Newsnight
