- 0:00Speaker 1: Welcome to the Late Debase. Good evening and welcome to
- 0:09Speaker 1: the program.
- 0:10Speaker 2: I'm back.
- 0:11Speaker 1: If you are watching an.
- 0:12Speaker 3: APM, You've got another hour of midnight. I am, of
- 0:15Speaker 3: course Cayler Bond, joined by Liz Storer and filling in
- 0:18Speaker 3: for James mcway.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Too much, too much.
- 0:20Speaker 4: Carlub Bond is barely.
- 0:22Speaker 3: Enough, exactly exactly the great Kel Richards. That's why we
- 0:25Speaker 3: pay him the big market so he can pump the
- 0:28Speaker 3: steam up me like that now. The Democrats are so
- 0:31Speaker 3: desperate for people to vote early and vote often that
- 0:34Speaker 3: in one state they've actually banned voter. ID will tell
- 0:37Speaker 3: you about that later in the program. In the papers,
- 0:41Speaker 3: one council is going after aggressive dogs halleluliah, I say
- 0:45Speaker 3: after dog attacks sword to two a day last year.
- 0:49Speaker 3: And the Merriam Whibster Dictionary. What am I saying, Miriam
- 0:52Speaker 3: Wibster Dictionary.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Kel is going to give me a real word.
- 0:58Speaker 3: Sorry, sorry, I've said to much tonight You're going to
- 1:00Speaker 3: get a lot more. The Mirriam Webster Dictionary has added
- 1:04Speaker 3: a whole bunch of words. Merriam Webster Dictionary is not
- 1:07Speaker 3: one of those words. Donald Trump gets to mention and
- 1:10Speaker 3: our wordsmith mister Richards will run us through it later
- 1:13Speaker 3: in the show.
- 1:14Speaker 1: Now look for all my faults.
- 1:16Speaker 3: I am a member of gen Z, or as Liz
- 1:19Speaker 3: likes to say, gen Z. I know mister Richards takes
- 1:22Speaker 3: issue with that, and we'll get into that a little
- 1:25Speaker 3: further in the program. But a recruiter by the name
- 1:28Speaker 3: of Tammy Christophus Bayless has talked to The Daily Mail
- 1:32Speaker 3: about the problem with gen Z people trying to get
- 1:35Speaker 3: into the workforce.
- 1:37Speaker 1: And I've got to say, I'm.
- 1:37Speaker 3: Not surprised by this because as far as I can see,
- 1:40Speaker 3: and you know, I am one, I have worked with
- 1:43Speaker 3: these people and I see them in everyday life. They
- 1:46Speaker 3: were raised in a generation where everyone got a participation
- 1:50Speaker 3: middle It didn't matter how well you did in the
- 1:53Speaker 3: running race at school, whether you came first or you
- 1:56Speaker 3: came tenth, everyone got a pat on the back, and
- 1:59Speaker 3: we're it's told they were special and that you were
- 2:02Speaker 3: just as good as the other children. Now, when they
- 2:04Speaker 3: play in local sports at a young level, there's no scoring.
- 2:08Speaker 3: They don't even have ladders or grand finals. They're told
- 2:13Speaker 3: that there is no importance in winning or succeeding. And
- 2:17Speaker 3: so we are starting to see the results of that,
- 2:20Speaker 3: Chrisophus Bayless says, there's a new thing I've got, interview anxiety.
- 2:26Speaker 3: The gen Z people say you have to be uncomfortable,
- 2:29Speaker 3: she says, to get somewhere, and there's.
- 2:31Speaker 1: No concept of that.
- 2:33Speaker 3: They say this isn't my safe space, therefore I'm not
- 2:37Speaker 3: going to do it.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Then they're upset that they don't have a job.
- 2:41Speaker 3: She goes on to say that young employees are too
- 2:43Speaker 3: scared to pick up the phone, first to a potential
- 2:46Speaker 3: employer and then to other people once and if they
- 2:50Speaker 3: get a job somewhere, I mean, for heaven's say, it's
- 2:52Speaker 3: the most efficient way to get anything done. But you
- 2:55Speaker 3: might have noticed no one actually picks up the phone
- 2:57Speaker 3: these days. She even says that young people are so
- 3:01Speaker 3: scared going into job interviews that she, as a recruiter,
- 3:04Speaker 3: has seen them bring their parents in with them. I mean,
- 3:08Speaker 3: I cannot get over that list. Imagine being so scared
- 3:12Speaker 3: to go for a job that you take your parents.
- 3:15Speaker 1: Into to hold your hand.
- 3:17Speaker 3: It's a bit like Kamala Harris taking Tim Walsons to
- 3:20Speaker 3: hold her hand.
- 3:21Speaker 1: In that verse interview, she.
- 3:24Speaker 3: And I mean imagine walking in and thinking that you're
- 3:28Speaker 3: going to get a job. If you have to take
- 3:29Speaker 3: your bloody parents with you in an old your hand.
- 3:31Speaker 2: It's a sorry state of affairs, which seems to be
- 3:34Speaker 2: the state of play whenever we're talking about gen Z.
- 3:38Speaker 2: This is a generation that has been labeled the loneliest generation,
- 3:42Speaker 2: the most anxious generation, and here they are just struggling
- 3:46Speaker 2: to do simple things.
- 3:47Speaker 5: Like get a job.
- 3:50Speaker 2: It's very sad, indeed, but as easy as it is
- 3:53Speaker 2: to pay out on them and be like, yeah, there's
- 3:55Speaker 2: no flakes and they've been raised, everyone's getting participation awards.
- 3:59Speaker 2: There's no real credit for merit nowadays. We've also got
- 4:05Speaker 2: to take into account the fact that the kids aren't okay.
- 4:09Speaker 4: Check out this headline from.
- 4:10Speaker 2: February in which a report by the Resolution Foundation found
- 4:15Speaker 2: that people in their twenties are more likely to be out.
- 4:18Speaker 1: Of work because of the poor mental health ravaging gen Z.
- 4:23Speaker 2: It found that, according to this official data, thirty four
- 4:27Speaker 2: percent of people aged eighteen to twenty four reported symptoms
- 4:30Speaker 2: of mental disorder such as depression, anxiety, m bi polar
- 4:35Speaker 2: And we know that this is something that is very
- 4:38Speaker 2: prevalent in this particular generation. And I crunched the numbers
- 4:42Speaker 2: because this is actually UK data, but it's exactly the
- 4:47Speaker 2: same In Australia. One in three gen z report the
- 4:51Speaker 2: same experiencing depression, experiencing anxiety, and so something like applying
- 4:56Speaker 2: for a job that we would just go, oh, well,
- 5:00Speaker 2: that's a rite of passage. Everyone's got to do that. Heck,
- 5:03Speaker 2: at fourteen years of age, I was a checkout chick,
- 5:05Speaker 2: Like I was front facing, talking to people every day,
- 5:08Speaker 2: did all the training, didn't think twice about it. But
- 5:12Speaker 2: I'm part of a very blessed generation. I think, the
- 5:15Speaker 2: last that grew up without social media, that grew up
- 5:19Speaker 2: without these devices attached to us, and this immediacy, immediacy,
- 5:24Speaker 2: this competition of constantly competing with our peers and trying
- 5:29Speaker 2: to look the coolest and best in every stage of life.
- 5:32Speaker 2: And I think that has caught up with this generation.
- 5:35Speaker 2: Something chronic and we are we're seeing it manifest, even
- 5:39Speaker 2: when it comes to something as basic as a teenager
- 5:42Speaker 2: just applying for a job, or early twenties out of
- 5:45Speaker 2: UNI just not having the confidence to go for this
- 5:48Speaker 2: kind of thing.
- 5:48Speaker 4: But it's not normal for human beings to be like that.
- 5:52Speaker 6: Something has happened along the way, because we start off
- 5:54Speaker 6: more confident. I was playing table tennis with my four
- 5:58Speaker 6: year old grandson today. The rules for four year old
- 6:01Speaker 6: table tennessee you take the net away and the ball
- 6:04Speaker 6: rolls across the table, and the scoring system is really simple.
- 6:07Speaker 6: About every thirty seconds. He shouts hi when and then
- 6:11Speaker 6: he was going around. That's the four year old, so
- 6:13Speaker 6: I'm the boss. So that's how they start. So what
- 6:17Speaker 6: has gone wrong with this? That's just a normal kid.
- 6:21Speaker 6: They start off with that sort of confidence. They start
- 6:24Speaker 6: off being happy kids. I find it really hard to
- 6:26Speaker 6: understand what's gone wrong. Jordan Peterson I think touched a
- 6:31Speaker 6: nerve with this generation when he wrote his book International
- 6:34Speaker 6: Best Set of twelve Rules for Life, and at the
- 6:38Speaker 6: heart of the book he's saying take responsibility. And my
- 6:41Speaker 6: concern I've had I had a furious discussion with somewhere
- 6:45Speaker 6: on talkback once about this, and I said, you know,
- 6:48Speaker 6: you don't need trigger warnings, you don't need safe spaces.
- 6:51Speaker 6: All do you need to do is grow up your
- 6:54Speaker 6: adults and just take And the key that Jordan Peterson
- 6:59Speaker 6: keeps pushing is take responsibility. If you know someone in
- 7:02Speaker 6: that age group, they just need to give them a
- 7:04Speaker 6: copy of Jordan pages and books for stuff, which is
- 7:06Speaker 6: a really good idea.
- 7:07Speaker 2: It is.
- 7:08Speaker 6: But this g z, as we say in Australian English,
- 7:13Speaker 6: this gen z it was born in from nineteen ninety
- 7:16Speaker 6: seven to twenty twelve.
- 7:18Speaker 4: So it's not a big age group.
- 7:21Speaker 6: If they're unusually distressed, if something has gone wrong, I'm baffled.
- 7:26Speaker 3: I think they've had responsibility taken away from them. So
- 7:30Speaker 3: part of it goes back to what I was saying before.
- 7:31Speaker 3: Everyone gets a participation medal, So there's there is nothing
- 7:35Speaker 3: special about anyone. There's no reason to strive for success
- 7:39Speaker 3: because success or winning or whatever you want to call
- 7:42Speaker 3: it is frowned upon because you know it might hurt someone.
- 7:45Speaker 4: If they lose.
- 7:46Speaker 3: Well, losing and learning how to cope with losing is
- 7:50Speaker 3: just as important as learning how to win, because out
- 7:53Speaker 3: there in the real world you have to deal with
- 7:56Speaker 3: losing and difficulty all the time. Other thing is that
- 8:01Speaker 3: generationally things have changed. When you were a child, kel
- 8:04Speaker 3: it was not unusual for someone to leave school at thirteen, fourteen,
- 8:09Speaker 3: fifteen and go off and get a job because they
- 8:12Speaker 3: had to put food and money and whatever on the
- 8:14Speaker 3: table to support the family. Of course, no one does
- 8:16Speaker 3: that anymore because you have to stay in school, which
- 8:19Speaker 3: in some ways is a good thing, but it taught
- 8:22Speaker 3: people responsibility from a very young age. They had to
- 8:26Speaker 3: step up and do something with their lives. And I
- 8:28Speaker 3: don't think that exists to the same level anymore. They
- 8:32Speaker 3: get molly coddled. Kids don't leave home and go out
- 8:35Speaker 3: and fend for themselves until well into their twenties. Now.
- 8:39Speaker 3: Part of that is the economic conditions and the fact
- 8:41Speaker 3: they can't afford a house and they can't afford a family,
- 8:44Speaker 3: et cetera.
- 8:45Speaker 1: But we are essentially retarding.
- 8:47Speaker 3: The growth of children to the point where they don't
- 8:50Speaker 3: actually grow up until they're nearly thirty.
- 8:53Speaker 6: So no wonder, no responsibile correct don't give them a correct.
- 8:56Speaker 3: So no wonder they can't go and get a job
- 8:58Speaker 3: because you know, you might have that at fifteen because
- 9:00Speaker 3: that was the expected thing to do. But when you
- 9:03Speaker 3: stop the growth of a child, well they can't do
- 9:05Speaker 3: it until at twenty five now.
- 9:07Speaker 2: And also let's couple that with the poor educational outcomes
- 9:11Speaker 2: that we've also seen across the Western world. Whether it's
- 9:15Speaker 2: what do they call them these days, it keeps changing.
- 9:18Speaker 2: It's not tee anymore. What's it called now ata ata,
- 9:22Speaker 2: the atar scores, etctera and so on. We know that
- 9:25Speaker 2: we're doing very badly, thank you. We're failing kids on
- 9:32Speaker 2: that score as well. So is it any wonder that
- 9:35Speaker 2: even after leaving school, their levels of confidence probably aren't
- 9:38Speaker 2: that high in the world of adults. So mix that
- 9:42Speaker 2: together with this mental disorder pandemic that we're seeing in
- 9:46Speaker 2: gen Z as well as these poor educational outcomes, which
- 9:51Speaker 2: we recognize, they're being very poorly equipped for the next phase.
- 9:54Speaker 3: Of their lives.
- 9:56Speaker 2: Is it any wonder that they're genuinely too anxious to
- 9:59Speaker 2: do some thing that previous generations have thought. We're extremely
- 10:03Speaker 2: basic indeed to the US now where on Monday we
- 10:06Speaker 2: brought you the extraordinary story of the Biden administration Department
- 10:12Speaker 2: of Justice, the Jokes in the name, pursuing the state
- 10:15Speaker 2: of Alabama for taking over three thy two hundred illegals
- 10:19Speaker 2: off their voter rolls. They don't want them voting in
- 10:22Speaker 2: the upcoming election. No illegals should be, but the DOJ
- 10:27Speaker 2: is suing Alabama for cleaning up.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Their voter rolls.
- 10:31Speaker 2: Well, Governor Newsom in California has decided to take a
- 10:36Speaker 2: different tactic today signing into law a ban on asking
- 10:42Speaker 2: people for ID to vote. California is one of the
- 10:46Speaker 2: fourteen states in America which doesn't require voter ID. He's
- 10:51Speaker 2: now banned local governments from requiring it. This was after
- 10:56Speaker 2: a vote earlier this year. One council in California took
- 11:01Speaker 2: it upon themselves to.
- 11:03Speaker 1: Take it to a vote.
- 11:04Speaker 2: What do the people want? Do you want voter ID?
- 11:07Speaker 2: Over fifty percent said yes, we do in our patch.
- 11:10Speaker 2: Thank you very much. So Governor Newsom, tell me you're
- 11:14Speaker 2: not cheating, buddy. Seriously, tell me you're not cheating Democrats.
- 11:20Speaker 2: He's now signed into law. Nobody can ask for voter
- 11:23Speaker 2: ID now. Of course, this is to cement Democrat control
- 11:29Speaker 2: in Democrat run states. This is not the first bill
- 11:32Speaker 2: that we've seen of this nature. But no, no, no,
- 11:35Speaker 2: they say, this is all in the name of making
- 11:39Speaker 2: sure that poorly disenfranchised citizens who clearly don't have the
- 11:46Speaker 2: means or brain power to obtain ID but still want
- 11:50Speaker 2: to participate in the elections.
- 11:53Speaker 1: We want to make sure that they're still able to participate.
- 11:56Speaker 2: This is the argument that we have every time it
- 11:58Speaker 2: comes up in Australia, and everyone gets out the smallest
- 12:02Speaker 2: violin to say no, no, this is for the disenfranchise.
- 12:06Speaker 2: A voter idea would mean that they're not able to vote,
- 12:10Speaker 2: but in this instance, it's clearly to make sure that
- 12:15Speaker 2: illegals can vote back. In twenty twenty two, California had
- 12:19Speaker 2: the most illegal aliens of any other state at one
- 12:23Speaker 2: point eight million, So you can imagine how many more
- 12:26Speaker 2: they have now after two years, on top of that
- 12:29Speaker 2: of a Biden administration that has allowed over ten million
- 12:32Speaker 2: illegals across the border.
- 12:34Speaker 4: There should be voter idea everywhere.
- 12:36Speaker 6: I mean, even if you don't have a lot of
- 12:38Speaker 6: illegals in your state, I'll explain it because you'll probably
- 12:41Speaker 6: a bit innocent, don't know how it works.
- 12:43Speaker 4: I'll explain the how it works.
- 12:44Speaker 6: What happens is when the electoral role closes, then what
- 12:48Speaker 6: they do is no, no, it's what you do.
- 12:50Speaker 4: You see if you go through.
- 12:52Speaker 6: All the columns of recent deaths, because they've died after
- 12:55Speaker 6: the electoral role closed, so they're not off the roll.
- 12:58Speaker 4: They're still there. Their name is on them.
- 12:59Speaker 1: You speak from experience, it sounds like.
- 13:01Speaker 6: And then you go from booth to booth and you
- 13:03Speaker 6: vote under one name and another name and another and
- 13:06Speaker 6: there's really no way that can catch you. And you
- 13:08Speaker 6: can cast a dozen votes that vote. If you've got
- 13:10Speaker 6: a team of organized people who are going around doing that,
- 13:13Speaker 6: you'll end up with enough votes to tip some seats.
- 13:16Speaker 4: So that's the principle that you were talking about.
- 13:19Speaker 6: Caleb mentioned vote early, vote off, and that is how
- 13:21Speaker 6: it actually works. Voter ID is essential in America. They
- 13:25Speaker 6: don't have a centralized voting authority like our Australian Electoral Commission.
- 13:29Speaker 6: It's done by every say so, there's fifty states, fifty systems.
- 13:32Speaker 6: Now there's only fourteen that don't require voter ID, and
- 13:36Speaker 6: the fact that Australia doesn't require voter ID is shameful.
- 13:39Speaker 1: I mean, I can't get over that.
- 13:41Speaker 3: The argument from the Californian Attorney general, his name is
- 13:45Speaker 3: Rob Bonter, and he is driving me bunta with what
- 13:48Speaker 3: he has to say.
- 13:49Speaker 1: There's another word for anity your.
- 13:50Speaker 3: List he but he says the right to freely cast
- 13:54Speaker 3: your vote is the foundation of our democracy. And Huntington
- 13:58Speaker 3: Beach's voter ID policy, this is a jurisdiction in California.
- 14:02Speaker 2: They're the ones where the residents vote.
- 14:04Speaker 1: Yeah, lies in the face of this principle.
- 14:09Speaker 3: Okay, so you are able to freely cast your vote
- 14:13Speaker 3: once you prove who you are and that you are
- 14:16Speaker 3: on the electoral role. I mean, I didn't know that
- 14:18Speaker 3: the rules included that you must be able to freely
- 14:21Speaker 3: cast your vote, which isn't actually your vote, it's someone
- 14:24Speaker 3: else's vote because it's done in someone else's name.
- 14:27Speaker 1: How can anyone argue.
- 14:29Speaker 3: Against voter ID unless they want people who shouldn't be
- 14:32Speaker 3: able to vote to be able to vote. And this
- 14:35Speaker 3: argument that's often run about, oh well, you know it'll
- 14:37Speaker 3: disenfranchise particularly black people or homeless people, or whatever other
- 14:43Speaker 3: minority you want to come up with. Let's take the
- 14:45Speaker 3: homeless one as an argument. For instance, most people anywhere
- 14:49Speaker 3: in the Western world, even if they are homeless, still
- 14:52Speaker 3: get some sort of government benefit, whether that is in
- 14:55Speaker 3: the US food stamps or here at some kind of
- 14:57Speaker 3: scentillic payment. They're not entirely institute. They just don't have
- 15:01Speaker 3: enough money to put a roof over their head, so
- 15:03Speaker 3: they come in contact with a system somewhere. And in
- 15:07Speaker 3: order to come in contact with a government system somewhere,
- 15:10Speaker 3: you need a way to identify yourself so they can
- 15:13Speaker 3: give you that money or benefit. So if you're getting
- 15:16Speaker 3: a government benefit in some way, you have a form
- 15:18Speaker 3: of ID, which is almost every single person on the
- 15:22Speaker 3: face of Australia, the US, Great Britain.
- 15:25Speaker 1: Et cetera.
- 15:25Speaker 3: I don't know how you can possibly argue against it.
- 15:28Speaker 3: I do know how, because you want people to vote
- 15:31Speaker 3: who shouldn't vote.
- 15:32Speaker 1: But like, there's no.
- 15:33Speaker 4: Liniments and I've persuaded, we're on. We don't need persuade.
- 15:36Speaker 2: We're on a unity ticket and.
- 15:38Speaker 3: I'm sure they are at home as I'm glad someone's
- 15:41Speaker 3: on a unity ticket with a date now. The vice
- 15:44Speaker 3: presidential debate today, what a ripper it was. Jabban wiped
- 15:49Speaker 3: the floor with Tim Waltz. He was cool, he was calm,
- 15:53Speaker 3: he was collected. He was able to meet every attack
- 15:57Speaker 3: that Waltz leveled at him. He was able to meet
- 15:59Speaker 3: every attack that the moderators leveled at him, and there
- 16:03Speaker 3: were a few of them. I think it really shone
- 16:05Speaker 3: through that JD. Evans is not only a great orator,
- 16:09Speaker 3: but he's put in the work to front up to
- 16:12Speaker 3: the media.
- 16:13Speaker 1: Particularly the lefty media.
- 16:15Speaker 3: He knows how to deal with them because he's unafraid
- 16:19Speaker 3: to talk to the voters, even those who might disagree
- 16:22Speaker 3: with him.
- 16:23Speaker 1: Unlike Tim Waltz.
- 16:24Speaker 3: Who's barely done any interviews. He only shows up at
- 16:27Speaker 3: occasional rallies. Of course, that interview with Kamala Harris on CNN,
- 16:31Speaker 3: he had to be there to hold her hand. You
- 16:34Speaker 3: hide them away and you put them in this situation
- 16:36Speaker 3: and it doesn't always go well. So Tim Waltz seemed
- 16:40Speaker 3: a bit nervous, to the point where he started telling
- 16:43Speaker 3: us he was a knucklehead.
- 16:45Speaker 5: My community knows who I am. They saw where I
- 16:48Speaker 5: was at they look. I will be the first to
- 16:51Speaker 5: tell you I have poured my heart into my community.
- 16:53Speaker 5: I've tried to do the best I can, but I've
- 16:55Speaker 5: not been perfect, and I'm a knucklehead at times. My
- 16:58Speaker 5: commitment has been from the big to make sure that
- 17:01Speaker 5: I'm there for the people, to make sure that I
- 17:03Speaker 5: get this right. I will say more than anything. Many times,
- 17:06Speaker 5: I will talk a lot. I will get caught up
- 17:09Speaker 5: in the rhetoric.
- 17:11Speaker 3: I'm a knucklehead, I'm from Minnesota, and I am here
- 17:14Speaker 3: to help. What a way to sell yourself to the people.
- 17:18Speaker 3: And then, of course he's been saying for a long
- 17:20Speaker 3: time that he was in China when the Tianamen Square
- 17:24Speaker 3: attacks happened, and this formed his view about how important
- 17:27Speaker 3: democracy was and how governance should be run. Well, we
- 17:31Speaker 3: found out today that he wasn't actually in China when
- 17:34Speaker 3: Tianaman Square happened, So of course he was asked about this,
- 17:37Speaker 3: and take a listen to the answer. I don't think
- 17:40Speaker 3: he quite hits the point.
- 17:41Speaker 1: Here, Governor.
- 17:43Speaker 7: Just to follow up on that, the question was can
- 17:46Speaker 7: you explain the notrepancy?
- 17:49Speaker 5: All I said on this was is I got there
- 17:50Speaker 5: that summer and misspoke on this, So I will just
- 17:54Speaker 5: that's what I've said. So I was in Hong Kong
- 17:59Speaker 5: and China during the democracy protest went in and from
- 18:03Speaker 5: that I learned a lot of what needed to be
- 18:06Speaker 5: in governance.
- 18:08Speaker 1: He learnt a lot and rich.
- 18:13Speaker 2: For those of us who actually watched this debate, it
- 18:15Speaker 2: was eyewatering bad watching Tim Waltz and the split screen
- 18:20Speaker 2: difference that you see between Vance just calls the cucumber.
- 18:24Speaker 2: He's got his facts on his side. He's been doing
- 18:26Speaker 2: his murder boards, as Kel explained to you last night,
- 18:30Speaker 2: prepping for this.
- 18:31Speaker 1: He is a well oiled machine.
- 18:33Speaker 2: Didn't once falter and compare that to Waltz, who looked
- 18:39Speaker 2: fifty percent terrified, fifty percent confused the entire time, whereas Waltz,
- 18:46Speaker 2: sorry not Waltz, Vance took it upon himself to fact
- 18:50Speaker 2: check the fact checkers when they.
- 18:52Speaker 8: Tried it on with him.
- 18:53Speaker 2: Check out this interaction between himself and the moderators.
- 18:58Speaker 1: He wasn't letting them get away.
- 18:59Speaker 9: With any.
- 19:01Speaker 7: Nice for our viewers. Springfield, Ohio does have a large
- 19:05Speaker 7: number of Haitian migrants who have legal status temporary protective Well,
- 19:11Speaker 7: thank you, senator.
- 19:12Speaker 4: We have so much to.
- 19:13Speaker 1: Get to, Margaret. I think it's important to turn out
- 19:15Speaker 1: of the economy. Thanks Margaret.
- 19:17Speaker 10: The rules were that you got we're going to fact check,
- 19:19Speaker 10: and since you're fact checking me, I think it's important
- 19:22Speaker 10: to say what's actually going on.
- 19:25Speaker 2: Vans quite literally gave a masterclass in how to debate.
- 19:30Speaker 2: Check Out this point he made on illegal immigrants and
- 19:34Speaker 2: the impact that's having on housing in America, where he
- 19:39Speaker 2: starts out supposedly agreeing with his opposition, only to flip
- 19:44Speaker 2: the tables spectacularly.
- 19:46Speaker 10: Well, first of all, Tim just said something that I
- 19:49Speaker 10: agree with. We don't want to blame immigrants for higher
- 19:51Speaker 10: housing prices, but we do want to blame Kamala Harris
- 19:54Speaker 10: for letting in millions of illegal aliens into this country,
- 19:57Speaker 10: which does drive up costs him twenty five million legal
- 20:02Speaker 10: aliens competing with Americans for scarce Holmes is one of
- 20:05Speaker 10: the most significant drivers of home prices in the country.
- 20:10Speaker 2: Is he was just hanging his head at that point, Michael,
- 20:13Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, how do I handle this guy? He
- 20:16Speaker 2: is steamrolling me. This was a night of redemption for Vance,
- 20:21Speaker 2: who has been slammed by the mainstream media, the regime
- 20:25Speaker 2: media in America. The charade is over at this point.
- 20:30Speaker 2: Anyone who's seen even the smallest clip of this debate
- 20:35Speaker 2: knows it was a bloodbath.
- 20:38Speaker 1: I reckon, I reckon.
- 20:39Speaker 3: Jd Vance walked out of there tonight singing kill and
- 20:43Speaker 3: you know what he was seeing.
- 20:44Speaker 1: I was dancing with Ma.
- 20:46Speaker 3: Baby to the tim tim Timothy Wold, because he danced
- 20:51Speaker 3: all over him at all level hits.
- 20:55Speaker 6: In fact, he's contributed to Woods to Worth for saurus
- 20:58Speaker 6: three new words for lying.
- 21:00Speaker 4: If you're a liar, you're not a liar, you're a knucklehead.
- 21:03Speaker 4: And you didn't lie, you misspoke, that's it.
- 21:05Speaker 6: And you just got carried away with the rhetoric, is
- 21:08Speaker 6: what he did there. Are two memes that I found
- 21:11Speaker 6: on the web today which I found interesting. One meme
- 21:14Speaker 6: was describing Vance's displaying blazing intelligence, and.
- 21:19Speaker 4: I thought that nailed what he did.
- 21:21Speaker 6: What he is is very well prepared, He's good at
- 21:24Speaker 6: debating and that kind of thing. But the man is
- 21:26Speaker 6: super smart. He's got to brain the size of a planet.
- 21:29Speaker 4: That was obviously. The other meme was this.
- 21:31Speaker 6: Meme that said Barack Obama wanted a vice president more
- 21:35Speaker 6: stupid than him, so he chose Joe Biden. Joe Biden
- 21:38Speaker 6: wanted a vice president more stupid than him, so he
- 21:41Speaker 6: chose Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris wanted a vice presidential hand
- 21:45Speaker 6: that more stupid than her, so she chose Tim Waltz.
- 21:48Speaker 6: Now I saw that movement, I thought that's really nice
- 21:51Speaker 6: and it sums up with.
- 21:54Speaker 3: It?
- 21:54Speaker 4: Does?
- 21:55Speaker 3: I have to say, though, as bad And I said
- 21:57Speaker 3: this earlier when I was hosting Charry of It as Banners.
- 22:01Speaker 3: Waltz was in that he was nervous and Advance kept
- 22:05Speaker 3: landing very easy attacks on him. I couldn't help watching
- 22:09Speaker 3: that debate and thinking, imagine if these two were the
- 22:11Speaker 3: presidential candidates instead of Trump and Harris, Because that debate
- 22:16Speaker 3: focused on policy. There was none of this personality clash.
- 22:22Speaker 3: It was all about policy, and it felt to me like,
- 22:25Speaker 3: you know, American politics for a small moment, was going
- 22:29Speaker 3: back to where it should be, which is we're actually
- 22:31Speaker 3: talking about the issues in front of us here instead
- 22:33Speaker 3: of well, you know, Orange man bad and Carmala's mentally
- 22:38Speaker 3: not all there and whatever. They actually got down to
- 22:40Speaker 3: brass tacks, which would have been so good to see
- 22:43Speaker 3: in the previous debates, but you just didn't get it.
- 22:45Speaker 1: It felt really civil.
- 22:47Speaker 2: It did, and it was the moderators had a far
- 22:51Speaker 2: easier time with this one than they did with Trump
- 22:54Speaker 2: and Kamala's. And it's so simple for Americans to just go,
- 22:59Speaker 2: which one of these guys would I want in the
- 23:01Speaker 2: situation room at the White House next time a disaster's unfolding.
- 23:06Speaker 2: Do you really want that bumbling fall of a Tim
- 23:09Speaker 2: Waltz sitting there. I don't even know what he'd be
- 23:11Speaker 2: doing with himself, but he certainly wouldn't be calling any shots.
- 23:16Speaker 4: Can I offer a thought on this?
- 23:17Speaker 6: People keep saying we won't make any difference, mon't have
- 23:20Speaker 6: an impact. I actually think it might. The reason is,
- 23:23Speaker 6: as I said last night, he vancied to show himself
- 23:26Speaker 6: as presidential forty years old. But if something happened to Trump,
- 23:31Speaker 6: he could step behind the resolute desk and he could
- 23:33Speaker 6: do the job. And when you saw that in that debate,
- 23:37Speaker 6: you thought he's presidential. If he's behind the resolute desk.
- 23:41Speaker 6: I'm not going to be worried. What that will do
- 23:43Speaker 6: is it won't change people's minds, But I think it
- 23:45Speaker 6: might get people out to vote. Those people who thought, well,
- 23:49Speaker 6: we quite like Trump to win. We think he's okay,
- 23:51Speaker 6: now think this is a great team. And because voting
- 23:55Speaker 6: is optional in America, you don't have to vote, it
- 23:58Speaker 6: motivates them to leave the House and actually go to vote.
- 24:02Speaker 6: So I think by motivating the people who are on
- 24:04Speaker 6: site to really vote, not just think about it, it
- 24:07Speaker 6: actually might make a difference.
- 24:09Speaker 2: Well hopefully it will also make a difference in the regime.
- 24:12Speaker 1: Low info bot.
- 24:14Speaker 2: Means the three media in America who has been paying
- 24:17Speaker 2: out on Vance NonStop since Trump named him as his
- 24:21Speaker 2: VP pick.
- 24:22Speaker 1: Check this out.
- 24:23Speaker 2: More than seventy percent of Washington.
- 24:25Speaker 1: Post's coverage of JD.
- 24:27Speaker 2: Vance has been negative, just one percent is positive. The
- 24:32Speaker 2: article goes on to say from August sixth to September thirty,
- 24:36Speaker 2: a whopping seventy one percent of the post's content was negative.
- 24:39Speaker 2: According to its online search results, just one point four
- 24:43Speaker 2: percent was positive, while roughly twenty eight percent was neutral.
- 24:47Speaker 2: The search results included news reports, opinion pieces, political cartoons, videos,
- 24:52Speaker 2: and podcast links spanning from when his Democratic rival, Minnesota
- 24:56Speaker 2: Governor Tim Waltz was tapped by Vice President Kamanala Harris
- 25:00Speaker 2: as her running mate. Negative results include unflattering reports about
- 25:06Speaker 2: the candidate. They have been absolutely scathing advance since day one.
- 25:14Speaker 2: Anyone who was going to be Trump's pick was of
- 25:16Speaker 2: course going to be raked over the calls in every
- 25:19Speaker 2: direction possible by the regime media. I'm wondering what we're
- 25:23Speaker 2: going to see now after such a blatant display of
- 25:27Speaker 2: whose superior intellectually, countenance wise ticked all the boxes while
- 25:34Speaker 2: Waltz was all over the place. This is what we
- 25:36Speaker 2: saw after the Trump Kamala debate, only they still opted
- 25:41Speaker 2: with Kamala. Trump gave them a few good reasons to
- 25:44Speaker 2: do so this one. There's no reasons to now wax
- 25:48Speaker 2: lyrical about how incredible a VP Tim Waltz would make.
- 25:53Speaker 6: Yep, can I I've been trying to work through this
- 25:56Speaker 6: because I think I struggling with this. They publish in Washington.
- 26:03Speaker 6: Washington is a public service town. That means it's left wing.
- 26:06Speaker 6: They vote for left wing governments because left wing governments
- 26:08Speaker 6: employ more public servants. Canberra is the same. It's desperately
- 26:12Speaker 6: left wing, always will be out of step with the
- 26:14Speaker 6: rest of Australia because they want to vote for governments
- 26:17Speaker 6: will employ more public servants. So that's where the population
- 26:20Speaker 6: of Washington is. And these people have to sell newspapers
- 26:24Speaker 6: and that's who There is another newspaper and it's more
- 26:28Speaker 6: right wing and it sells fore your copies. So I'm
- 26:30Speaker 6: trying to work through if a paper takes a particular
- 26:34Speaker 6: editorial stance and so we're going to bash this person,
- 26:37Speaker 6: we're going to support this candidate. Can they do it
- 26:39Speaker 6: as long as they're upfront about it, saying this is
- 26:42Speaker 6: our position.
- 26:43Speaker 3: Well, you do generally know, I mean, most newspapers have
- 26:46Speaker 3: a particular editorial bent and you sort of know what
- 26:49Speaker 3: you're in for. But I think it was pretty broad
- 26:52Speaker 3: across the US media that when Vance was chosen, they
- 26:55Speaker 3: kind of went after him, certainly tried to attack him
- 26:58Speaker 3: on his previous comedy he'd made about Donald Trump, which
- 27:01Speaker 3: I think he's quite eloquently explained and well married lady,
- 27:06Speaker 3: but I mean unmarried for even say, who cares?
- 27:08Speaker 1: He's bloody right about that? I say that as an
- 27:11Speaker 1: unmarried man who owns cats.
- 27:12Speaker 4: But anyway, but.
- 27:15Speaker 3: You know, they went after him on that, and he
- 27:17Speaker 3: batted all that away and said, well, the man's allowed
- 27:19Speaker 3: to change his mind, and he has. It is extraordinary
- 27:23Speaker 3: though that the with how will he did today, they
- 27:27Speaker 3: will have to dig their heels in even further if
- 27:31Speaker 3: they want to hope that they can bring jd. Vance down,
- 27:34Speaker 3: because I don't think it's so much now about whether
- 27:37Speaker 3: jd Vance ends up as vice president, because that's much
- 27:41Speaker 3: more about Donald Trump.
- 27:42Speaker 1: Right, It's just a foregone conclusion.
- 27:44Speaker 3: If Trump is elected, will of course Jade Vance is
- 27:47Speaker 3: going to be the vice president. What they'll really be
- 27:50Speaker 3: worried about, the Democrats is in twenty twenty eight, when
- 27:54Speaker 3: the Republicans are looking for a candidate JD. Vance, after
- 27:59Speaker 3: today's performance, you'd have to think would be a war
- 28:03Speaker 3: cup chance of getting it.
- 28:05Speaker 1: And that's what they'll have to do.
- 28:06Speaker 3: That's what the media will now have to start fighting against.
- 28:09Speaker 3: Because I reckon he would be unassailable if you put
- 28:12Speaker 3: him up against most people in the Democratic Party, and
- 28:16Speaker 3: even the lefty media in the US today was all
- 28:19Speaker 3: saying CNNMSNBC lost their mind over it.
- 28:23Speaker 1: I mean they were all saying that that Vance.
- 28:25Speaker 3: Won Advance as a South Australia to say Vance, but
- 28:28Speaker 3: his name is Vance.
- 28:29Speaker 1: So I will accede to that.
- 28:31Speaker 4: I will a seed to that.
- 28:32Speaker 3: But they were all saying he won it. There's nowhere
- 28:34Speaker 3: for them to hide from it anywhere.
- 28:36Speaker 2: Indeed, well, staying in the States, Elon Musk is coming
- 28:40Speaker 2: to the rescue. After Hurricane Helene has ravaged six states
- 28:45Speaker 2: across the southeast of America. It has taken out a
- 28:50Speaker 2: lot of the communications. The cellular networks have been damaged,
- 28:54Speaker 2: leaving thousands without a means of communicating with each other,
- 28:58Speaker 2: which is why we understand over six hundred people are
- 29:01Speaker 2: still unaccounted for. They simply can't make contact. There's no
- 29:06Speaker 2: way to do it without a cellular network. So Elon
- 29:10Speaker 2: Musk is coming to the rescue, sending thirty of his starlinks,
- 29:16Speaker 2: which essentially use orbiting satellites instead of brown based networks,
- 29:21Speaker 2: to give these people broadband connection so that they can
- 29:25Speaker 2: get in touch with their loved ones, let them know
- 29:27Speaker 2: they're okay, let them know where they are if they
- 29:30Speaker 2: need help, how they can be contacted. Elon Musk has
- 29:35Speaker 2: tweeted since the Hurricane Helene disaster, SpaceX has sent as
- 29:39Speaker 2: many Starlink terminals as possible to help areas in need.
- 29:43Speaker 2: Earlier today, Donald Trump alerted me to additional people who
- 29:47Speaker 2: need Starlik internet in North Carolina. We are sending them
- 29:52Speaker 2: terminals right away. Now. The Biden administration is trying to
- 29:57Speaker 2: take credit for this, saying but this was their doing,
- 30:01Speaker 2: and they're helping out those people, particularly in North Carolina,
- 30:05Speaker 2: as soon as possible by these Stylink connections.
- 30:11Speaker 8: We're also very focused on restoring communications capabilities. FEMA, the FCC,
- 30:17Speaker 8: and private telecommunications providers are working together to help restore
- 30:22Speaker 8: temporary communications as quickly as possible by establishing temporary cell
- 30:27Speaker 8: sites and allowing for roaming where possible, where a resident
- 30:30Speaker 8: can connect to any network available, even if they aren't
- 30:33Speaker 8: subscribed to that network. Today, FEMA will install thirty Starlink
- 30:39Speaker 8: receivers in western North Carolina to provide immediate connectivity for
- 30:43Speaker 8: those in greatest need, but the.
- 30:46Speaker 2: Good public on Elon Musk's platform, X were making it
- 30:51Speaker 2: very clear to everyone that had the FCC not scuppered
- 30:57Speaker 2: plans back in twenty twenty two for Elon to roll
- 31:02Speaker 2: out these Starlink connections, this would never have happened. Alex
- 31:07Speaker 2: tweets for your information, North Carolina, which has been hit
- 31:11Speaker 2: especially the hardest by this hurricane, would have nineteen thousand,
- 31:15Speaker 2: five hundred and twenty two working Starlink kits available today
- 31:20Speaker 2: after Hurricane Helene. Had the FCC not revoked in bad
- 31:24Speaker 2: faith the grant that was awarded to SpaceX as the
- 31:28Speaker 2: winning bidder, Alex attached this graphic as proof that yes, indeed,
- 31:34Speaker 2: the FCC had awarded this to Starlink and then changed
- 31:40Speaker 2: their minds. Now they were accused at the time of
- 31:43Speaker 2: doing this for political reasons. Elon Musk himself called it
- 31:48Speaker 2: quote contemptible political law.
- 31:51Speaker 1: Fare end quote.
- 31:52Speaker 2: The FCC deny this, of course, but then they've recently
- 31:56Speaker 2: shown themselves to play favorites, ignoring the.
- 31:59Speaker 1: Law in their own rules.
- 32:01Speaker 2: To let George Soros snaffle up two hundred and twenty
- 32:04Speaker 2: radio stations before this election wasn't really legal by any standards,
- 32:11Speaker 2: but because he's the biggest Democrat donor. You're not going
- 32:15Speaker 2: to say no to George Soris when he comes knocking,
- 32:18Speaker 2: are UFCC.
- 32:20Speaker 1: So they've got egg all over.
- 32:21Speaker 2: Their face now, especially given they denied this to an
- 32:25Speaker 2: area that is prone to natural disasters like what we've
- 32:30Speaker 2: just seen ravage these.
- 32:32Speaker 6: The FCC, for people who don't know, is the Federal
- 32:34Speaker 6: Communications Commission. The equivalent in Austrolia is called AKMA, Australian
- 32:38Speaker 6: Communications and Media Authority, and both of them are meant
- 32:41Speaker 6: to be independent, and that's their defense.
- 32:45Speaker 4: We're an independent body.
- 32:46Speaker 6: We're set up by the government, we're funded by the government,
- 32:48Speaker 6: but we're an independent body, which is why you worry
- 32:52Speaker 6: about all these independent bodies and what they might do.
- 32:55Speaker 6: This independent body, somehow or other favors someone who supports
- 32:59Speaker 6: the government and carefully knocks the stuffing out of someone
- 33:03Speaker 6: who doesn't support the government. And our AKMA, which is
- 33:06Speaker 6: also independent, will end up running the misinformation laws.
- 33:09Speaker 4: If they get them through the parliament.
- 33:10Speaker 6: So that's the really good thing about these independent government authorities.
- 33:15Speaker 6: They don't listen to the government at all. They just
- 33:17Speaker 6: act independently, don't they All the time?
- 33:21Speaker 4: You're looking a bit suspicious.
- 33:24Speaker 2: They are.
- 33:25Speaker 6: You're looking spectacle. You might think that's not true, when
- 33:28Speaker 6: you might very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment.
- 33:31Speaker 1: I wonder why that would be kel.
- 33:32Speaker 3: I mean, it was eight hundred and eighty six million
- 33:35Speaker 3: dollars in subsidies that was knocked back in the end
- 33:38Speaker 3: by the FCC that would have allowed them to get
- 33:42Speaker 3: high speed broadband into rural areas where they otherwise wouldn't
- 33:46Speaker 3: have it. And the reasoning that the FCC used to
- 33:50Speaker 3: knock it back is that they had doubts that Starlink
- 33:53Speaker 3: could supply fast enough speed with supply constraints. Okay, so
- 33:59Speaker 3: why you going to them now and tanks startling We need.
- 34:02Speaker 1: To we need we need to get the Internet in there.
- 34:05Speaker 3: I mean, you could have done it back in twenty
- 34:07Speaker 3: twenty two if you hadn't knocked them back for the
- 34:10Speaker 3: funding that you told them you could give them because
- 34:12Speaker 3: you didn't think it was up to scratch. But when
- 34:14Speaker 3: you finally needed them, it was up to scratch, wasn't it.
- 34:17Speaker 3: That has this for a funny one. Just sticking to
- 34:19Speaker 3: the US for a moment, they've got massive port strikes
- 34:23Speaker 3: that have just started over there.
- 34:25Speaker 1: The dock workers are.
- 34:27Speaker 3: Going off chops because they want seventy seven percent pay
- 34:31Speaker 3: rise over six years. Now, that is an extraordinary amount
- 34:35Speaker 3: of money to ask for. But the ila that is
- 34:38Speaker 3: their union, the long shawmen, are walking off the job
- 34:41Speaker 3: all over the coast of the US asking for this money. Now,
- 34:45Speaker 3: of course that means that anything that comes in and
- 34:48Speaker 3: out of the US on a boat is essentially stopped. Cars, fridges, televisions,
- 34:53Speaker 3: on and on it goes, and the union is completely
- 34:57Speaker 3: unapologetic for it. Now, I don't agree with their this blog,
- 35:00Speaker 3: says the union leader. But I'll tell you what he
- 35:03Speaker 3: is in to tidy.
- 35:05Speaker 9: These people today don't know what the shrike is. Right
- 35:09Speaker 9: when my men hit the streets from Maine to Texas,
- 35:12Speaker 9: every single port or locked down, you know what's gonna happen.
- 35:17Speaker 9: I'll tell you. First week be all over the news,
- 35:23Speaker 9: every nine boom boom. The second week, guys who sell
- 35:27Speaker 9: costs can't sell costs because the cars ain't coming in
- 35:29Speaker 9: off the ships. They get laid off. Third week, malls
- 35:35Speaker 9: are closing down. They can't get the goods from China,
- 35:38Speaker 9: they can't sell clothes, they can't do this. Everything in
- 35:42Speaker 9: the United States comes.
- 35:43Speaker 4: On a ship.
- 35:44Speaker 9: They go out of business. Construction workers get laid off
- 35:48Speaker 9: because the materials aren't coming in, the steel's not coming in,
- 35:53Speaker 9: the lumber's not coming in.
- 35:55Speaker 4: They lose their job.
- 35:56Speaker 9: Everybody's hating the long showman now because now they realize
- 36:01Speaker 9: how important our jobs are in today's world.
- 36:04Speaker 1: I'll cripple you.
- 36:06Speaker 4: I will cripple you.
- 36:07Speaker 9: And you have no idea what that means.
- 36:11Speaker 1: A let's talk, I want my money or I'm going
- 36:14Speaker 1: to cripple you. I mean, how good is that?
- 36:16Speaker 2: Now?
- 36:16Speaker 3: Now?
- 36:16Speaker 1: The interesting thing, Kell is that Biden could.
- 36:19Speaker 3: Actually force the dock workers to go back to work.
- 36:23Speaker 4: He has already correct.
- 36:24Speaker 3: He can invoke what they call a cooling off period,
- 36:26Speaker 3: which is essentially an eighty day period where they're forced
- 36:29Speaker 3: to go back to the table and negotiate again.
- 36:31Speaker 1: He said he won't do it because he's.
- 36:33Speaker 3: Going to respect their right to negotiate it themselves.
- 36:36Speaker 1: And the Teensters, which is another massive union in the US.
- 36:40Speaker 3: They've got one point three million supporters and they've actually
- 36:43Speaker 3: been supporting Donald Trump in the federal election over there.
- 36:46Speaker 3: But they have said, quote that Biden should stay the f.
- 36:50Speaker 1: Out of this fight.
- 36:52Speaker 3: I mean, you know, we've got the CFMU was a
- 36:55Speaker 3: bit bullish here. They don't bugger around over in the US.
- 36:58Speaker 6: And the strange thing is these people have been since
- 37:01Speaker 6: about nineteen thirty six, since the time of FDR. These
- 37:04Speaker 6: people have actually been in bed with the Democrats. So
- 37:07Speaker 6: I've got no idea what they think they're doing politically.
- 37:10Speaker 6: Do they not like Karmela or don't they care anymore?
- 37:14Speaker 6: I just find that the politics of what they're doing,
- 37:16Speaker 6: I mean, I understand the economics of it. They're just
- 37:18Speaker 6: being bullies and knocking people around until they make a
- 37:21Speaker 6: lot of money, But I don't understand the policy crop.
- 37:23Speaker 6: It's quite weird for people who are supposed to be
- 37:25Speaker 6: on side with the Democrats to be behaving like this.
- 37:28Speaker 2: It'll be so interesting to see how this plays out,
- 37:30Speaker 2: because overnight billions of dollars in trade have been brought
- 37:34Speaker 2: to a screeching Holt. He's not wrong in saying they
- 37:37Speaker 2: may just be dog workers, but they've got a hell
- 37:39Speaker 2: of a lot of power. They've knocked back a fifty
- 37:42Speaker 2: percent pay rise over the course of six years, they're
- 37:45Speaker 2: holding out for their seventy seven and it doesn't look
- 37:48Speaker 2: like that guy's going to budge anytime soon.
- 37:50Speaker 3: I wonder how it will go when I ask my
- 37:52Speaker 3: bosses for a We'll talk about that one after the
- 37:56Speaker 3: pro And.
- 37:56Speaker 2: That's the last you saw of Calee.
- 38:01Speaker 3: If it's the last you see, I've just been told
- 38:03Speaker 3: in my ear it's not happening.
- 38:04Speaker 1: If it's the last you see of.
- 38:05Speaker 3: Me, well, at least you got two hours of me Tonight.
- 38:08Speaker 3: After the break, we'll get into the papers, including the
- 38:11Speaker 3: curious story of a police commissioner and her Gin bottle.
- 38:15Speaker 3: You might remember this from a couple of months ago.
- 38:17Speaker 3: We've got an update all that more coming up. Let's
- 38:23Speaker 3: get into tomorrow's papers, starting Liz with The Daily Telegraph.
- 38:26Speaker 2: The Daily Telegraph to Everyone's least favorite police commissioner, and
- 38:30Speaker 2: by everyone's, I mean me Gin bombshell emails cast doubt
- 38:35Speaker 2: on top cops story tangled Web the splash reads Police
- 38:41Speaker 2: Commissioner Karen Webb's office told a distillery she wanted dozens
- 38:45Speaker 2: of bottles of its blue labeled Gin in time to
- 38:48Speaker 2: give out as Christmas gifts, casting doubt on her claim
- 38:52Speaker 2: she only knew the booze was brought from her friend's
- 38:56Speaker 2: company after it was purchase. The Daily Telegraph can also
- 39:00Speaker 2: reveal the full list of people she gave the gin two. Now,
- 39:04Speaker 2: first this was a story because the question was it
- 39:08Speaker 2: is it really appropriate for a police commissioner to be
- 39:12Speaker 2: handing out hard liquor for Christmas.
- 39:15Speaker 1: Now it's another story because it.
- 39:17Speaker 2: Turns out she was just upping up the sales of
- 39:20Speaker 2: a friend's company.
- 39:21Speaker 3: Well, see, I don't mind them handing out the bottle
- 39:24Speaker 3: of gin to foreign dignitaries or whatever. I couldn't particularly
- 39:26Speaker 3: give a stuff. It was called commissioner's gin. The previous
- 39:29Speaker 3: police commissioner had done it from.
- 39:31Speaker 1: The same mob with wine, but.
- 39:34Speaker 3: The difference was that this time she is actually mates
- 39:38Speaker 3: with the people who owned the distillery slash winery, and
- 39:41Speaker 3: she had maintained when all of this originally came to
- 39:44Speaker 3: light that she wasn't involved in the purchasing process, that
- 39:47Speaker 3: it was done by someone else in her office. She
- 39:50Speaker 3: only became aware of it afterwards.
- 39:52Speaker 1: Nothing to see here.
- 39:53Speaker 3: Clearly, the emails that the Telegraph has obtained show that
- 39:56Speaker 3: she basically instructed them to go away and do it on.
- 39:59Speaker 3: The people who was given a bottle of gin was
- 40:01Speaker 3: Alan Joyce, so I'm sure he's been tucking into that
- 40:04Speaker 3: since he left Quantus. But The bit that amused me
- 40:07Speaker 3: the most was that there was an email sent by
- 40:10Speaker 3: another police employee to miss Webb's chief of staff on
- 40:15Speaker 3: December fourteenth, twenty twenty two, that said, although the purchase
- 40:18Speaker 3: above might have progressed in the past, when the question
- 40:21Speaker 3: is asked, Sorry, the question I asked myself is will
- 40:25Speaker 3: I be comfortable if this purchase was released.
- 40:27Speaker 1: To the media. The employee said, well, it ended up
- 40:31Speaker 1: being released to the.
- 40:32Speaker 6: Media, and a good deal of discomfort followed. I'm a
- 40:36Speaker 6: bit impressed at all of these people of G and
- 40:37Speaker 6: T people, which which strikes me as being very raffles
- 40:41Speaker 6: hotel in colonial Singapore.
- 40:43Speaker 3: That's anyway, have a sling while you're there too.
- 40:46Speaker 6: Indeed, in queens Land, of course they have an election
- 40:49Speaker 6: on and the is Roman Electric Commission, as always is
- 40:51Speaker 6: running it and they're saying that they in fact have
- 40:54Speaker 6: no powers to control dishonest or misrepresenting material is in
- 41:00Speaker 6: the Courier mail. So take a look at tomorrow's Courier mail.
- 41:03Speaker 6: The story tells us that the Electoral Commission has conceded
- 41:07Speaker 6: it's powerless to stop a scare campaign in ten electorates
- 41:11Speaker 6: being run by powerful union boss Gary Bullock that falsely
- 41:16Speaker 6: claim public hospitals will be sold off by an LNP government.
- 41:20Speaker 6: Now the LMP is not going to sell off hospital,
- 41:23Speaker 6: so it's a false claim. The thing that surprised me
- 41:27Speaker 6: maybe you took an explainer to me. I'm surprised the
- 41:30Speaker 6: Electoral Commission can't stop it. I know there's been electoral
- 41:33Speaker 6: material in the past that they've been able to stop
- 41:36Speaker 6: that they've been able to take off the streets, So
- 41:39Speaker 6: why are their hands tied in this case? I just thought,
- 41:42Speaker 6: if it's a completely false claim, how can they get
- 41:45Speaker 6: the Electoral Commission throw their hands up and say sorry,
- 41:49Speaker 6: can't any I.
- 41:50Speaker 2: Think they know is because if they start that labor
- 41:53Speaker 2: in Queensland won't.
- 41:54Speaker 4: Have any campaigns left.
- 41:56Speaker 2: They've already claimed that Chris A. Fooley is going to
- 42:00Speaker 2: change all the abortion laws in Queensland. Now they've got
- 42:04Speaker 2: this metascare nonsense happening. What was the other one that
- 42:08Speaker 2: they were claiming? Skipping my mind right now. But these
- 42:13Speaker 2: guys have been shown quite a few times now in
- 42:16Speaker 2: the career mail to be just telling outright lies.
- 42:20Speaker 1: In order to trump up polls.
- 42:22Speaker 6: At their desperation, the polls they know they're losing But.
- 42:26Speaker 3: The funniest thing is right that we're continually been told
- 42:28Speaker 3: by politicians, particularly labor politicians at the moment, that we
- 42:32Speaker 3: must have laws to stop misinformations and misinformation. Well, I mean,
- 42:37Speaker 3: this is the very definition of misinformation and disinformation. And
- 42:42Speaker 3: although I am not generally in support of speech being
- 42:45Speaker 3: police stoor or controlled by government or its outfits, I
- 42:50Speaker 3: think it's entirely right in the middle of an election
- 42:53Speaker 3: campaign for the electoral Commission to have the ability to
- 42:57Speaker 3: stop the spreading of electoral material that is provably false,
- 43:02Speaker 3: because that then could influence the election, and that that
- 43:06Speaker 3: influences four years worth of policy that is implemented in
- 43:10Speaker 3: a state. How you can get away with that, I
- 43:13Speaker 3: don't know, because you know you're basically elected on false
- 43:16Speaker 3: pretenses if you get over the line.
- 43:17Speaker 1: As far as I'm concerned, on.
- 43:19Speaker 3: The basis of such blatant lies, let's stick in Coensland
- 43:22Speaker 3: and go to the Gold Coast bulletin where it says
- 43:25Speaker 3: the dogs of war city prepares to battle. Prepare for
- 43:29Speaker 3: battle to combat rising number of canine attacks. The Gold
- 43:32Speaker 3: Coast City Council is going to war on pet dog attacks.
- 43:36Speaker 3: After almost two attacks a day, In twenty twenty three,
- 43:39Speaker 3: council is warning owners of a crackdown and plans hosting
- 43:43Speaker 3: free etiquette and behavior classes now that the acting Mayor,
- 43:47Speaker 3: Donnagates said that dog attacks on people and pets once she.
- 43:52Speaker 1: Wants it wiped out.
- 43:53Speaker 3: There were seven hundred and six reported attacks last year,
- 43:57Speaker 3: which was fifty five more than they had the year before.
- 44:01Speaker 3: There are so many breeds of doglis that are just
- 44:05Speaker 3: abundantly aggressive. We know they are aggressive, they are bread
- 44:08Speaker 3: to be aggressive, pit bulls, etc.
- 44:11Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 44:11Speaker 3: Why people are still allowed to have them, Get them
- 44:14Speaker 3: off the streets.
- 44:15Speaker 1: These can't all be pit bulls.
- 44:17Speaker 6: No, no, they won't all be pitbull There are other
- 44:19Speaker 6: breeds too, But the breeds which are dangerous and likely
- 44:23Speaker 6: to attack people, absolutely true, they know what they are.
- 44:30Speaker 4: Our little miniature poodle didn't attack anyone.
- 44:32Speaker 1: Right, not yet, not yet.
- 44:36Speaker 4: But no.
- 44:37Speaker 6: There are breeds that it's safe to have as pets,
- 44:39Speaker 6: and there are breeds that's unsafe to have as pets.
- 44:42Speaker 6: And every time I raise this on talkback programs, I
- 44:44Speaker 6: get held down by people saying, oh no, no, no, no,
- 44:47Speaker 6: we can look after ours, we can train them properly,
- 44:49Speaker 6: perfectly Okay, no, it's not. There are breeds that should
- 44:52Speaker 6: be canceled. Do you agree wholeheartedly?
- 44:55Speaker 1: They tell you cat own you have so speak to them.
- 45:00Speaker 3: Five cats don't go around nature taking and killing people
- 45:04Speaker 3: through the others.
- 45:05Speaker 1: To a dog down to nur.
- 45:10Speaker 2: They're not born criminal dogs.
- 45:12Speaker 1: I'm sorrys. Pit bulls descend from.
- 45:15Speaker 3: Bulls in the bulls bull terriers in the UK that
- 45:19Speaker 3: were bred for dog fight hit.
- 45:23Speaker 1: Bulls that are absolute land No, it's.
- 45:26Speaker 4: It's bred into them.
- 45:27Speaker 6: My late father in law used to run sheep dogs
- 45:30Speaker 6: and I said, how do you train them? You see,
- 45:31Speaker 6: you don't train them. They get to a certain age
- 45:33Speaker 6: and they just take to it. It's in their genes.
- 45:36Speaker 6: So the behavior of dogs is in their genes. Can
- 45:39Speaker 6: I just say about cats? Little dogs are terrified of cats.
- 45:43Speaker 1: Well there you go.
- 45:44Speaker 3: At least I've got one up on the little dogs
- 45:46Speaker 3: very quickly before we go to break the Australia you have.
- 45:48Speaker 2: The Australian biggest native title in turmoil tell us more.
- 45:53Speaker 2: The nation's biggest native title deal, called Australia's First Treaty,
- 45:57Speaker 2: is in turmoil as the land count that struck the
- 46:00Speaker 2: agreement reels from explosive revelations that it secretly access the
- 46:06Speaker 2: emails of usurping aboriginal organizations established to take charge of
- 46:12Speaker 2: the one point three billion settlement.
- 46:16Speaker 1: The story goes on.
- 46:17Speaker 2: To say that this is basically a power struggle with
- 46:21Speaker 2: six new regional Aboriginal corporations set up to realize the
- 46:26Speaker 2: biggest and most comprehensive Indigenous settlement in Australian history. But
- 46:31Speaker 2: it looks like a little bit of a civil war
- 46:34Speaker 2: is breaking out amongst those groups.
- 46:36Speaker 3: So now, why wouldn't you when there's so much money involved?
- 46:39Speaker 3: As they say, all power corrupts, absolute, power corrupts absolutely.
- 46:44Speaker 3: After the break, we're going to get into the dictionary.
- 46:47Speaker 3: We've got the word smith Kel Richards with us here.
- 46:49Speaker 3: He's going to tell us the new words that you
- 46:51Speaker 3: are officially.
- 46:52Speaker 1: Allowed to use. Don't go away now, no doubt.
- 46:58Speaker 3: You religiously watch Words with Kel on Kredline every week
- 47:03Speaker 3: on a Wednesday. And of course we've got kel on
- 47:06Speaker 3: a Wednesday here again on the late debate, so we thought, hell,
- 47:08Speaker 3: why don't we do words with Kell again? The Merriam
- 47:12Speaker 3: Webster Dictionary in the US has added a whole bunch
- 47:15Speaker 3: of new words. You've picked out some of your favorites.
- 47:17Speaker 6: They've added two hundred the dictionaries. Dictionaries don't tell you
- 47:21Speaker 6: what the language should be. They record what the language is.
- 47:24Speaker 6: So they're constantly collecting what they call citations, and they
- 47:27Speaker 6: put them into a bank of language, which is now
- 47:30Speaker 6: in a computer. The Colins Dictionary calls there is very
- 47:33Speaker 6: cleverly the Bank of English, which I think is very nice.
- 47:36Speaker 6: But they all do this kind of thing, and every
- 47:38Speaker 6: self and the updated, and they've got two hundred new
- 47:40Speaker 6: words and two hundred new definitions. Some of the ones
- 47:43Speaker 6: they put in the things that we already know and
- 47:44Speaker 6: are fairly familiar, but just weren't in the dictionary before.
- 47:47Speaker 6: So cash grab has gone in, Creepy Crawley has gone in,
- 47:50Speaker 6: and they're just there because this is the point at
- 47:52Speaker 6: which the dictionaries noticed them. By the way, can I
- 47:54Speaker 6: very quickly say people sometimes say to me, how can
- 47:56Speaker 6: I get a word into the dictionary? The answer is,
- 47:59Speaker 6: get thousands of people to use it, preferably in print,
- 48:03Speaker 6: then it will end up.
- 48:04Speaker 4: Okay.
- 48:04Speaker 6: A couple of the new words that are in, for example,
- 48:07Speaker 6: touch grass. Now this reflects the society that we're in.
- 48:11Speaker 6: Touch grasses and put down the phone, get away from
- 48:14Speaker 6: the screen, get in touch with the reality. And I
- 48:17Speaker 6: thought this is brand new, and Liz said to me, no, no, no,
- 48:19Speaker 6: she uses this often.
- 48:20Speaker 4: So it's around, isn't it. I love it.
- 48:23Speaker 2: This is something that you tell to people when they're
- 48:25Speaker 2: kind of wrapped up in their own world. Is a
- 48:27Speaker 2: way of being like, go outside, touch grass, breathe some
- 48:31Speaker 2: fresh air, eat a banana, Everything's going to be okay.
- 48:36Speaker 6: Or as we used to say, wake up, wake up,
- 48:38Speaker 6: and spell the coffee is what we used to say.
- 48:41Speaker 6: Another one is Nepo baby, and Nepo baby is the
- 48:43Speaker 6: son of a very famous people or family or one person,
- 48:47Speaker 6: and because of their fame and their family connections, they
- 48:50Speaker 6: get good jobs and they get starring roles. Comes from nepotism,
- 48:53Speaker 6: which comes from a Greek source word meaning nephews employing nephews.
- 48:58Speaker 6: So that's in oh and naga is he? So Donald
- 49:01Speaker 6: Trump has made it into the dictionary. I think it's
- 49:04Speaker 6: really it's a big deal when a word that you've
- 49:06Speaker 6: coined actually gets into the dictionary.
- 49:08Speaker 4: Trump has done it.
- 49:09Speaker 3: He knows words, He does words better than anyone else,
- 49:13Speaker 3: and he is now in the dictory that's it from us,
- 49:15Speaker 3: tod I thank you so much for watching up next
- 49:17Speaker 3: to the reader Penny. He showed that
