- 0:02Speaker 1: On scaring US Australia.
- 0:05Speaker 2: This is the Wader Panekey Show.
- 0:09Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the readA Panekey Show coming
- 0:12Speaker 3: up tonight. Three vote arrivals in a week. Daniel Wilde
- 0:17Speaker 3: with the latest on local international politics. All cross to
- 0:21Speaker 3: Israel to speak to Emily Schrader about the reaction to
- 0:24Speaker 3: Australia's shock un vote, and joining me tonight is the
- 0:28Speaker 3: always insightful Yank Army Horowitz and making his Sky News
- 0:32Speaker 3: debut is popular Australian comically dangerously heteronormative, UNPC toxic white
- 0:39Speaker 3: male Isaac Butterfield.
- 0:41Speaker 4: But first, the.
- 0:43Speaker 3: Albanezer government plans to spend a whopping extra twenty four
- 0:47Speaker 3: billion over the next four years, including a generous three
- 0:50Speaker 3: hundred dollars in power build discounts for every household from
- 0:54Speaker 3: Turacta Turidden and three hundred and twenty five dollars for
- 0:58Speaker 3: small businesses, a move that the Treasury says will reduce
- 1:02Speaker 3: inflation by zero point five percent next year. This looks
- 1:06Speaker 3: very much like an election budget, and there are certainly
- 1:09Speaker 3: winners and losers. What fears the short term boost lack
- 1:13Speaker 3: long term benefits. Let's bring in Daniel Wilde from the
- 1:17Speaker 3: Institute of Public Affairs. Daniel, your verdict on the budget
- 1:21Speaker 3: and how exactly will are we fighting inflation by injecting
- 1:26Speaker 3: billions and billions of taxpayer money into the economy.
- 1:30Speaker 5: Well, that's right. This is a bad budget. It lacks
- 1:33Speaker 5: vision and ambition for the future of Australia. Basically, the
- 1:36Speaker 5: entire debate has been about whether we means test or
- 1:38Speaker 5: don't means test a three hundred dollars subsidy. We're facing
- 1:42Speaker 5: much bigger economic problems. What this also reinforces RITA is
- 1:46Speaker 5: that this is a redistributionist government. It's not a growth government.
- 1:49Speaker 5: It is a government that has focused on its narrow
- 1:52Speaker 5: sectional interest, not on the betterment of the nation as
- 1:54Speaker 5: a whole. In terms of the lack of ambition, their
- 1:57Speaker 5: own forecast have real GDP growth in the twos for
- 2:01Speaker 5: the next five years. Contrast that to the Hawk era
- 2:04Speaker 5: it were three and a half percent growth every single year.
- 2:07Speaker 5: So this government has given up on the idea of
- 2:09Speaker 5: economic growth and they're reverting to nineteen seventy style politics.
- 2:13Speaker 3: The Prime Minister has hit back at the critics who
- 2:16Speaker 3: are calling the energy rebates wasteful and targeted.
- 2:22Speaker 6: We are providing in this budget taxpayer tax cuts for
- 2:27Speaker 6: every single Australian taxpayer, but also energy bill relief for
- 2:32Speaker 6: every household. It's the most efficient way for it to
- 2:36Speaker 6: be delivered.
- 2:36Speaker 3: Now, there's a lot being said about this energy bill
- 2:39Speaker 3: relief and who should be entitled to it, but I
- 2:41Speaker 3: think again we're missing the point. We wouldn't need energy
- 2:44Speaker 3: bill relief if we weren't pushing up the cost of
- 2:47Speaker 3: energy deliberately. These are policies that have led to this.
- 2:51Speaker 3: It hasn't happened because we've run out of gas and
- 2:55Speaker 3: oil and coal.
- 2:57Speaker 5: That's right, it's the tail wagging. The dog is treating symptoms,
- 3:00Speaker 5: not causes. And the cause of the energy bill increases
- 3:04Speaker 5: is net zero and the decommissioning of coal fire power.
- 3:07Speaker 5: I mean, we know this from the data. We can
- 3:09Speaker 5: go back to two thousand and seven when Kevin Rudd
- 3:11Speaker 5: came in. All of the subsidies came in. Since two
- 3:14Speaker 5: thousand and seven, energy bills have gone up by nine
- 3:16Speaker 5: percent per year on average. If you contrast that from
- 3:19Speaker 5: nineteen ninety to two thousand and seven, it was just
- 3:21Speaker 5: three percent per year, so they've gone up at triple
- 3:24Speaker 5: the rate as a result, of whether it's the carbon
- 3:26Speaker 5: tax or the subsidies or net zero, So you have
- 3:29Speaker 5: to treat the underlying problem rather than putting a band
- 3:32Speaker 5: aid on it.
- 3:32Speaker 3: Staying on the budgets, let's shed some light on some
- 3:36Speaker 3: of the hidden winners and losers. Were cash splashed on
- 3:40Speaker 3: everything from plant based proteins to sympathy orchestras. The government
- 3:45Speaker 3: is going to be spending one point five million of
- 3:48Speaker 3: your money to make it easier to understand labeling on
- 3:51Speaker 3: food items such as veggie burgers and tofu sausages, three
- 3:55Speaker 3: million on seafood origin stickers, plus two hundred and six
- 4:00Speaker 3: Exteen million will be spent on arts and culture, including
- 4:03Speaker 3: five point two million. Four orchestras in Canberra and Darwin,
- 4:07Speaker 3: Dan dos Cambra. Need any more orchestras and why can't
- 4:11Speaker 3: they pay for it themselves?
- 4:13Speaker 5: Well, they don't need more orchestras for sure, but they're
- 4:15Speaker 5: getting a lot more public servants in the budget, tens
- 4:17Speaker 5: of thousands and more public servants with pay rises. Look
- 4:20Speaker 5: there's another three key winners out of the budget. There's
- 4:22Speaker 5: the environmental activists with the EPA. They're getting more money
- 4:26Speaker 5: to shut down the economy. Those who want to censor
- 4:30Speaker 5: the Safety Commission, they get more money to shut down
- 4:32Speaker 5: freedom of speech. And of course everybody's favorite billionaire, TWiki Forest,
- 4:36Speaker 5: is getting even more money from the government.
- 4:38Speaker 4: To he needs the money, he's having it.
- 4:41Speaker 7: He needs proven technologies that we're all going to pay for.
- 4:45Speaker 3: How do they justify something like that, How do they
- 4:48Speaker 3: justify giving one of Australia's richest individuals this sort of assistance.
- 4:54Speaker 5: Well, I mean their argument is it's all to do
- 4:56Speaker 5: with the new green renewable superpower. Look, I think Astralians
- 5:00Speaker 5: we'll see through this, and it doesn't make sense when
- 5:02Speaker 5: you're talking about people doing it tough with the cost
- 5:04Speaker 5: of living, then you've got policies that are giving tax
- 5:06Speaker 5: credits to someone like Twiggy Forests.
- 5:08Speaker 7: It just doesn't add up.
- 5:10Speaker 4: It does not.
- 5:11Speaker 3: And Budget week is hectic in Canberra, but not so
- 5:14Speaker 3: hectic that labor MPs can't find time to do stupid
- 5:19Speaker 3: TikTok videos. You can see Dan, I don't even want
- 5:36Speaker 3: to ask you about that clip.
- 5:38Speaker 4: They just got to stop doing stuff like that.
- 5:40Speaker 3: Just stop with the TikTok Instagram videos.
- 5:43Speaker 4: Their own work. They're cringe wordy.
- 5:44Speaker 3: Thank you now, will the Abenezi government's weakness on borders
- 5:49Speaker 3: see a return of boats and the people smuggling trade.
- 5:52Speaker 3: In the past week, three boats have been picked up.
- 5:55Speaker 3: Six boats in the past six months have made it
- 5:57Speaker 3: all the way to Australia since the jam Patterson, the
- 6:00Speaker 3: Shadow Home Affairs Minister, is blaming the policies of the
- 6:03Speaker 3: Albanesi government.
- 6:06Speaker 1: Under the Labor government, error monitoring and on sea surveillance
- 6:10Speaker 1: are down by twenty percent and twelve percent, respectively. So
- 6:13Speaker 1: it's no wonder that boats are slipping through and it's
- 6:16Speaker 1: a result of discoverment being weak when it comes to
- 6:18Speaker 1: operation sovereign borders. They have undermined operations sovereign borders at
- 6:21Speaker 1: every opportunity, including abolishing temporary protection visas, reducing these flying hours,
- 6:26Speaker 1: and planning the cut over four hundred million dollars out
- 6:28Speaker 1: of the budget over the next three years.
- 6:32Speaker 3: I don't think it's a coincidence that every time Labor
- 6:34Speaker 3: is in power this becomes an issue.
- 6:37Speaker 5: No, that's right, James Patterson's spot on. Look, there's a
- 6:40Speaker 5: couple of things here. There's a big chunk of the
- 6:42Speaker 5: Labor Party that does not believe in sovereign borders. They're
- 6:46Speaker 5: open borders people. They don't believe in turning boats back.
- 6:48Speaker 5: They never have, they never will. The other issue here is, look,
- 6:52Speaker 5: it gets to the bigger problem of the entire migration system,
- 6:55Speaker 5: not just the illegal rivals, but the actual program. The
- 6:58Speaker 5: budget confirms that the major already of our economic growth
- 7:01Speaker 5: is still going to be underpinned by this unplanned mass
- 7:04Speaker 5: migration that's sending us backwards in terms of a per
- 7:07Speaker 5: capita situation. So Australians are getting poorer because of Labour's
- 7:11Speaker 5: mass migration program, and we're also less secure because of
- 7:14Speaker 5: their soft borders approach.
- 7:16Speaker 3: Now, statue of former Tasmanian Premier William Crawber has been
- 7:21Speaker 3: vandalized a day before a court ruling about whether it
- 7:24Speaker 3: should be taken down. The statue in Hobart's Franklin Square
- 7:28Speaker 3: was badly damaged, with its legs cut halfway through. And
- 7:33Speaker 3: this statue is not just in danger from the criminal vandals,
- 7:36Speaker 3: but also the vandals in the Hobart City Council who
- 7:39Speaker 3: also want to topple.
- 7:40Speaker 5: It well exactly. And you know we've seen this before
- 7:44Speaker 5: with the you know, statues of Captain Cook and others
- 7:46Speaker 5: where you know, these people just don't know Australian history.
- 7:49Speaker 5: They're taught that Australia is a bad country, that we're
- 7:52Speaker 5: not worth defending, that our culture is not worth preserving,
- 7:55Speaker 5: and so no wonder they act like this. These are
- 7:58Speaker 5: the downstream consequences of a of a broken education system
- 8:02Speaker 5: and of our main institutions of our society, whether it's
- 8:05Speaker 5: going to the football or anything else where. But continually
- 8:08Speaker 5: toward Australia is based on stolen land and that were
- 8:11Speaker 5: not a good country. Well, this is what happens.
- 8:14Speaker 3: This is and this whole controversies over Crowther, who was
- 8:18Speaker 3: a surgeon who was noted for his work with the poor,
- 8:22Speaker 3: but there were allegations back in eighteen sixty nine that
- 8:25Speaker 3: he stole found and stole the skull of an Aboriginal corpse.
- 8:31Speaker 3: He denied it completely, but because of those allegations in
- 8:36Speaker 3: eighteen sixty nine, they want to topple his statue. Now
- 8:41Speaker 3: to this report from the ABC, and this is an
- 8:43Speaker 3: important story about Chinese police being allowed to come to
- 8:47Speaker 3: Australia with permission from the Australian Federal Police and question
- 8:51Speaker 3: a woman and then take her back to China for
- 8:54Speaker 3: trial in what is seen as a major breach of
- 8:58Speaker 3: Chinese Australian police protocols. She was targeted as part of
- 9:02Speaker 3: an anti corruption program called Operation fox Hunt. Now Dan,
- 9:08Speaker 3: the Chinese Communist Party, says fox Hunt is all about
- 9:11Speaker 3: targeting people who have committed serious financial crimes. But there
- 9:16Speaker 3: are human rights groups who say this is a way
- 9:18Speaker 3: to silence dissidents and critics of the regime.
- 9:22Speaker 5: I don't know the details of this particular case, but
- 9:25Speaker 5: on the face of it, it's concerning China, as we know,
- 9:27Speaker 5: is not a country with the rule of law. It
- 9:29Speaker 5: doesn't have transparency or the legal safeguards. So even if
- 9:32Speaker 5: the accusations are correct about financial wrongdoing and serious crimes,
- 9:37Speaker 5: I don't think anyone could have confidence that they were
- 9:39Speaker 5: going to be dealt with in an appropriate manner. So look,
- 9:41Speaker 5: on the face of it, I don't think that this
- 9:43Speaker 5: should be happened. Of Australian residents being taken to China.
- 9:48Speaker 5: We don't know what's going to happen to them.
- 9:50Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I'm just shocked because we've got Australians in
- 9:55Speaker 3: Chinese prisons and we know how they're treated, and the
- 9:58Speaker 3: fact that once you're charge you've got something like a
- 10:01Speaker 3: ninety nine point nine percent conviction rate and the methods
- 10:05Speaker 3: they use are also something to worry about. Now, let's
- 10:08Speaker 3: talk about this painting of King Charles the Third. He
- 10:11Speaker 3: has unveiled the official portrait, as is the first one
- 10:16Speaker 3: since the coronation, and you can see his Majesty is
- 10:20Speaker 3: wearing the uniform of the Welsh Guards in a striking
- 10:25Speaker 3: oil painting striking. Indeed, this portrait was commissioned all the
- 10:29Speaker 3: way back in twenty twenty, when King Charles was still
- 10:31Speaker 3: a prince. It's divided opinion, but I've got to say, Dan,
- 10:35Speaker 3: I absolutely love it. I've got a shock initially, but
- 10:39Speaker 3: the more I look at it, the more I think
- 10:41Speaker 3: it's a really special piece of art.
- 10:44Speaker 4: Well, what's your take on it? Are you a hater?
- 10:47Speaker 5: I'm not a hater, but when I first saw it,
- 10:49Speaker 5: I got to say I didn't quite get it.
- 10:51Speaker 7: It's a bit too avant garde for my taste.
- 10:54Speaker 5: May able to grow on me over time, but look,
- 10:57Speaker 5: I think it is good to see the King back
- 11:00Speaker 5: official duties. We know he was very unwell for a
- 11:03Speaker 5: penty of times. It's good to see that.
- 11:04Speaker 1: Now.
- 11:05Speaker 5: Look, maybe this will maybe it will grow on me,
- 11:07Speaker 5: but I'm not going to hold my breath.
- 11:09Speaker 3: Okay, well, we're not going to have a big fight
- 11:11Speaker 3: over it. But I think just keep looking at it
- 11:13Speaker 3: and you.
- 11:15Speaker 4: Will see the.
- 11:17Speaker 3: Deep beauty within.
- 11:19Speaker 4: Daniel Wylle, thank you so much of your time this evening.
- 11:22Speaker 7: Thank you.
- 11:23Speaker 3: Joining me now is filmmaker and journalist Army Horowitz. Army
- 11:28Speaker 3: President Joe Biden is notorious for repeating lies, verifiable lies,
- 11:33Speaker 3: over and over again, and the latest example is the
- 11:37Speaker 3: claim that inflation was at nine percent when he took office.
- 11:43Speaker 8: I think inflation has gone slowly up. This wasn't nine
- 11:46Speaker 8: percent when I came in, and it's now down around
- 11:49Speaker 8: three percent and bringing down in fleshing was nine percent
- 11:52Speaker 8: when I came to office.
- 11:54Speaker 9: Nine per infletion was actually one point four percent when
- 11:57Speaker 9: Biden was sworn in.
- 12:02Speaker 3: Why does he keep doing these? I mean, these are
- 12:04Speaker 3: things you can check that, they're not just matters of opinion.
- 12:10Speaker 10: No, it's uh, well, he was right in the sense
- 12:13Speaker 10: that it was nine percent a year after he came
- 12:15Speaker 10: into office. Now, on the inflation itself made many many lies.
- 12:20Speaker 10: For example, that inflation was because of the of the
- 12:23Speaker 10: of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, when a simple math
- 12:26Speaker 10: equation shows you the majority of the inflation actually came
- 12:29Speaker 10: prior to the invasion of Ukraine. I mean, we can
- 12:33Speaker 10: go on and on. We could talk about how his
- 12:34Speaker 10: uncle was eaten by cannibals. Yes, that was something he
- 12:36Speaker 10: actually claims to be a fat We could talk about
- 12:40Speaker 10: he's arrested in Delaware for civil rights violations, and frankly,
- 12:45Speaker 10: the worst of all when he continuously says that his
- 12:50Speaker 10: son was killed in Afghanistan when his son actually tragically
- 12:53Speaker 10: died of cancer afterwards.
- 12:56Speaker 2: But despicably, he loves to trot that out.
- 12:59Speaker 10: When he's to talking to families who lost kids in wars,
- 13:05Speaker 10: he continues to trot out that particular life particularly despicable
- 13:09Speaker 10: and terrible. No, but of course he's never gonna be
- 13:12Speaker 10: called on it because he's parroting what the mainstream media
- 13:16Speaker 10: wants to hear. This one is again the issue with
- 13:21Speaker 10: the verifiability is if you're gonna lie, Joe, lie, is
- 13:24Speaker 10: something that can't be checked, that would be my suggestion
- 13:28Speaker 10: to you, A little gift for you.
- 13:30Speaker 2: That's all. That's all I'm saying.
- 13:33Speaker 3: It's just incredible. Yeah, inflation was once nine percent, but
- 13:38Speaker 3: during your term when you inherited office, the inflation was
- 13:43Speaker 3: almost a rock bottom, So it's just such a bold
- 13:47Speaker 3: face lie. US Vice President Kamala Harris. Though she's not
- 13:51Speaker 3: doing much for the passare, she's expressing her appreciation for
- 13:55Speaker 3: young activists during a recent interview, praising their approach and
- 13:59Speaker 3: how aren't waiting around for the older generation to solve
- 14:03Speaker 3: big issues.
- 14:04Speaker 4: She highlighted things like.
- 14:07Speaker 3: Their readiness to tackle policies on gun violence and climate change.
- 14:13Speaker 3: But Ami, these are strange comments to be making at
- 14:17Speaker 3: a time when college campuses are overrun by these young
- 14:21Speaker 3: activists disgracing themselves and disgracing these institutions of higher learning.
- 14:29Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 14:30Speaker 10: I also, if you call, I also recently took a
- 14:34Speaker 10: tour around a campus with my American flag and fifteen
- 14:38Speaker 10: of these great youth people she's referring to attacked me,
- 14:42Speaker 10: viciously grabbed my flag.
- 14:44Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 14:45Speaker 10: I think she needs to take a look around. Is
- 14:47Speaker 10: she praising the people who attacked me? She's praising the
- 14:51Speaker 10: people who won't allow Jews to.
- 14:53Speaker 2: Go to class on campus.
- 14:56Speaker 10: Yeah, she needs to be clear about what she's referring to.
- 15:00Speaker 10: And by the way, I think she also needs to
- 15:01Speaker 10: take a look at the poll numbers because the eighteen
- 15:04Speaker 10: and twenty nine vote, which overwhelmingly went for Biden and
- 15:07Speaker 10: Kamala Harrison last election, seems to be eroding significantly because
- 15:13Speaker 10: even then, even the eighteen and twenty nine and by
- 15:16Speaker 10: the way, if you know, anybody's under twenty nine and
- 15:18Speaker 10: they don't know anything, right, but even those people are
- 15:21Speaker 10: smart enough to realize that this country's being driven into
- 15:25Speaker 10: the ground and the responsibility live directly with this administration,
- 15:28Speaker 10: which by the way.
- 15:29Speaker 2: Happens to include Kamala Harris.
- 15:31Speaker 10: So, yeah, I think she needs to recheck her little
- 15:35Speaker 10: tour of the campuses and maybe she recanted. I don't know,
- 15:38Speaker 10: I doubt it.
- 15:40Speaker 3: Well, a law school in Boston is facing a backlash
- 15:44Speaker 3: after graduates smeared red paint on their hands and held
- 15:48Speaker 3: them up during their commencement ceremonies. Pro Palestinian students use
- 15:53Speaker 3: this symbol of bloody hands in to protest the death
- 15:58Speaker 3: toll in Gaza Army. You know perfectly well what this means.
- 16:03Speaker 3: Tell my audience, what those red hands symbolize? What event
- 16:09Speaker 3: are these graduates glorifying?
- 16:13Speaker 10: Yeah, so, there was a there was a lynching in
- 16:16Speaker 10: Romala a number of years ago where a jew was
- 16:19Speaker 10: murdered and ripped apart by Palestine animals, and one particular
- 16:26Speaker 10: thug animal beast took his bloody hands and he put
- 16:30Speaker 10: them out the window famously and photographed it.
- 16:33Speaker 2: I assume you're referring to that.
- 16:38Speaker 10: That is the most disgusting display of savagery that I
- 16:42Speaker 10: could imagine.
- 16:44Speaker 2: But I think that.
- 16:44Speaker 10: These students need to pay attention to the more to
- 16:47Speaker 10: the news. We've been saying this for a while, but
- 16:50Speaker 10: even the United Nations has recanted and finally said, Okay,
- 16:55Speaker 10: we were lying for a long time about this war
- 16:58Speaker 10: in Gaza, and they came the terms and reduced the
- 17:01Speaker 10: number of civilian casualties.
- 17:04Speaker 2: By fifty percent. Rita.
- 17:08Speaker 10: We all knew those numbers were lies, but everybody kept saying, well,
- 17:12Speaker 10: look what the mainstream media is saying, the UN is
- 17:15Speaker 10: saying it. And now, finally, after the damage has been
- 17:18Speaker 10: done to Israel's reputation, they finally came out and said, oh,
- 17:22Speaker 10: we got it wrong. Actually, these reeling numbers are right,
- 17:25Speaker 10: and shockingly, Hamas numbers are wrong. Maybe those those idiots
- 17:30Speaker 10: on that campus that graduation to look at the fact
- 17:34Speaker 10: that Israel has foty war historically low civilian casualties two
- 17:42Speaker 10: civilians for every one militant as opposed to and by
- 17:46Speaker 10: the way, and that's when you have the most densely
- 17:49Speaker 10: populated place on planet Earth where Kamas is hiding. Civilians
- 17:54Speaker 10: are using civilians as shields for themselves. And if you
- 17:58Speaker 10: compare that to the NATO number so Afghanist five to one,
- 18:02Speaker 10: maybe those people should look at those numbers and maybe
- 18:05Speaker 10: rethink their idiocy.
- 18:08Speaker 2: On graduation day.
- 18:11Speaker 3: Let's talk about Snopes. Snopes, this so.
- 18:15Speaker 4: Called fact checking site.
- 18:17Speaker 3: We've been embarrassed again having to correct a fact check
- 18:21Speaker 3: about Ashley Biden, the daughter of US President Joe Biden,
- 18:25Speaker 3: her diary. The disturbing claims in that diary are now
- 18:30Speaker 3: listed as true, not unproven Army. If this was a
- 18:34Speaker 3: banker's diary detailing inappropriate showers with her dad and all
- 18:39Speaker 3: sorts of other allegations, we never stop hearing about it.
- 18:46Speaker 3: This would be well known across the board. But the
- 18:50Speaker 3: contents of this diary have been memory holder that so
- 18:55Speaker 3: many in the media have declined to report anything about it.
- 19:01Speaker 10: Yeah, the big issue here really is the fact checkers
- 19:05Speaker 10: themselves and Snopes and PolitiFact USA. Today, I would like
- 19:09Speaker 10: I think one of the great accomplishments of the left
- 19:12Speaker 10: was their ability to take over that entire industry and
- 19:16Speaker 10: then branded as unbiased right above the political frame. And
- 19:23Speaker 10: people have taken that and frankly done a great job
- 19:25Speaker 10: with branding, because regular people look at these organizations Wikipedia
- 19:29Speaker 10: and Snopes and politifacts so forth as fact and the
- 19:33Speaker 10: reality is so far from that. I can tell you
- 19:36Speaker 10: personally I have had with all of those fact checking organizations.
- 19:40Speaker 10: I have run into the issues with them when they
- 19:41Speaker 10: have lied baldly about things that I have said. I
- 19:45Speaker 10: have forced several of them to recant, but of course,
- 19:48Speaker 10: once it's released, the damage is done. And you know,
- 19:51Speaker 10: you know when they're a lot, when all the mistakes
- 19:54Speaker 10: are all in favor of liberals and none of the
- 19:57Speaker 10: mistakes are favorite conservatives.
- 19:59Speaker 2: That really is the answer how they're lying.
- 20:02Speaker 10: If it was even half half, I could see how
- 20:04Speaker 10: could they make many mistakes? But no, what the reality
- 20:07Speaker 10: is is that what they are. They look at what
- 20:11Speaker 10: they want things to be and assume that must be
- 20:14Speaker 10: in actual fact, they basically have weaponized their bias. And
- 20:20Speaker 10: again it's been a very very successful branding exercise, and
- 20:23Speaker 10: they've sold to the public as you can look at
- 20:25Speaker 10: us as unbiased when it couldn't be.
- 20:27Speaker 2: Further for the truth.
- 20:30Speaker 3: Absolutely, and it's so dangerous because it is gas lighting
- 20:34Speaker 3: on a mass scale, calling themselves fact checkers when they're
- 20:37Speaker 3: often amongst the most biased activists in the industry.
- 20:42Speaker 4: Ami Horowitz, thank you so much for your time. This
- 20:44Speaker 4: evening always a pleasure. Still to come a.
- 20:48Speaker 3: Massive addition of lefties losing it, and I'll be joined
- 20:52Speaker 3: by possibly Australia's most popular comic. He's got more than
- 20:57Speaker 3: two million followers on YouTube alone. You're watching the Raid
- 21:09Speaker 3: of Patty Show and now it's time for lefties losing it,
- 21:14Speaker 3: and I think we're ready to hear more pronouns and
- 21:17Speaker 3: expressions of gender identity.
- 21:20Speaker 4: Are you homo flexible?
- 21:22Speaker 3: Perhaps your pan or TRIXI now, I don't know what
- 21:26Speaker 3: any of these words mean either.
- 21:28Speaker 11: Hi, my name's queen and my pronounce are the thumb
- 21:30Speaker 11: When I post about my gender identity and my sexuality.
- 21:32Speaker 11: When I say that I don't want any labels, that
- 21:34Speaker 11: is not an invitation for you to speculate on who
- 21:36Speaker 11: I am or what I am. It's not a guessing
- 21:38Speaker 11: game for you to play over whether I'm a girl
- 21:40Speaker 11: or a boy, But what's in my pants? Or if
- 21:43Speaker 11: I'm pan or buy or trixiic or homoflexible or gray,
- 21:47Speaker 11: romantic or anything else. You don't need to fully understand
- 21:50Speaker 11: the nuances of gender identity or sexuality to know that
- 21:53Speaker 11: each person knows who they are better than you ever will.
- 21:56Speaker 3: Yes, there are new identities and pronouns popping up up
- 22:00Speaker 3: every hour, it seems, But how many things can you
- 22:03Speaker 3: identify as at the same time?
- 22:06Speaker 4: See if you can beat this millennial list.
- 22:09Speaker 12: I am a weight, transmasculine, fem, non binary, temporarily mostly
- 22:14Speaker 12: able bodied, neurodivergent, obsessive, compulsive, chronically ill, culturally Jewish, unitarian, universalist,
- 22:20Speaker 12: non monogamous, DEMI low, romantic, great ammo best, actual survivor
- 22:23Speaker 12: of acute and complex trauma, millennial and cat parent in
- 22:27Speaker 12: mental health recre.
- 22:28Speaker 3: DEMI low, romantic, chronically ill, Unitarian, universal cellist, transmasculine. I've
- 22:35Speaker 3: lost track already. Let's see now from a lefty who's
- 22:39Speaker 3: been losing it for.
- 22:40Speaker 4: Some time now.
- 22:41Speaker 3: One time Oscar nominee when she was known as Ellen Page,
- 22:46Speaker 3: star of the hit film Juno, but she has since
- 22:49Speaker 3: transitioned to Elliot Paige and enthusiastic transactivist who claims that
- 22:55Speaker 3: being LGBTQIA plus plus plus is not niche.
- 23:00Speaker 4: I don't call it niche. You know, queer things niche.
- 23:04Speaker 13: Thirty percent of young people identify as LGBTQ plus. I'm like,
- 23:08Speaker 13: I'm sorry, this is not niche. You tell really specific
- 23:11Speaker 13: stories about like cis het people. I'm not calling that
- 23:15Speaker 13: on a plant niche.
- 23:17Speaker 4: Thank you, Yeah, I'm sure.
- 23:19Speaker 3: I read a good book about that by Abigail Schreier
- 23:23Speaker 3: Irreversible Damage, the transgender craze reducing our daughters. But page
- 23:29Speaker 3: is right. There are a lot of young people identifying
- 23:33Speaker 3: as anything other than just an ordinary girl or boy.
- 23:37Speaker 4: I mean, who wants to be ordinary?
- 23:39Speaker 3: I'm reminded of this classic clip from a Washington DC
- 23:43Speaker 3: Pride rally in twenty two, where journalist Savannah Hernandez ask
- 23:47Speaker 3: people how they identify.
- 23:50Speaker 14: I am gender queer, trans mask and what's trans mask?
- 23:54Speaker 14: Trans mask is like people under the non binary umbrella
- 23:57Speaker 14: identifying like or hunting mask masculine?
- 24:02Speaker 2: Yeah, what about you?
- 24:04Speaker 15: I'm trance and uh on, my sexuality is unlabeled. I
- 24:11Speaker 15: use him pronounced yeah, and I use the pronounce tell us.
- 24:15Speaker 3: What you guys identify as we're asking everyone.
- 24:17Speaker 9: Here today gay, okay, sis, what is it?
- 24:23Speaker 16: Sis?
- 24:24Speaker 12: Gender maya?
- 24:24Speaker 1: There we go.
- 24:25Speaker 4: I don't know gender, gender neutral or gender fluid.
- 24:29Speaker 6: I think that's what they say.
- 24:30Speaker 17: I don't know.
- 24:30Speaker 4: I'm confused.
- 24:32Speaker 3: We're all confused, lady. Let's see if there is any
- 24:34Speaker 3: more clarity with some others at the rally.
- 24:39Speaker 6: Oh, she pronouns are he him?
- 24:43Speaker 18: Sometimes you say, I don't give it.
- 24:45Speaker 2: I guess you could call me gay.
- 24:47Speaker 3: I'm homo flexible.
- 24:48Speaker 9: Really, I do like some women, but mostly men than
- 24:52Speaker 9: see her it.
- 24:54Speaker 13: I feel like, honestly, honestly, it should not be a
- 24:57Speaker 13: bad pain.
- 24:58Speaker 3: Like I've talked to me, go with the in them.
- 25:01Speaker 3: I'm like, well, in the grammar of things, how would
- 25:04Speaker 3: you want to represent yourself?
- 25:05Speaker 13: I was like, I mean, I guess it, because it's
- 25:08Speaker 13: like you're.
- 25:09Speaker 11: It, You're the it.
- 25:11Speaker 3: I'd be careful before referring to people as it. Not
- 25:14Speaker 3: everyone is going to appreciate it. But that was Washington, DC.
- 25:19Speaker 3: It's it's a strange place. Only four percent voted for Trump.
- 25:23Speaker 3: Surely we wouldn't have that sort of confusion in Texas.
- 25:27Speaker 3: They she uh they here non binary, trans.
- 25:31Speaker 4: Mask bisexual, I'm just trans I'm the game.
- 25:35Speaker 9: Mail put yeah, gamail put transgender Ian.
- 25:40Speaker 4: I'm a seys she her probably not binary.
- 25:42Speaker 7: Yeah, would be the best.
- 25:44Speaker 4: What about you?
- 25:44Speaker 3: Bye? Hellos, boil bye bye bye bye.
- 25:48Speaker 4: I like frugs, not people. I'm sorry.
- 25:51Speaker 13: I like Prigg's not people.
- 25:54Speaker 3: I like frogs too. Now, to Democrat Storwart and strategist
- 25:58Speaker 3: James Carville, losing it over Trump increasing is lead in
- 26:03Speaker 3: the latest polls, particularly in those crucial swing states.
- 26:07Speaker 16: In Trump's war ahead than he's ever been. It's gone
- 26:12Speaker 16: the wrong way. It's not working. Everything that we're throwing
- 26:18Speaker 16: is spaghetti at a wall, and none of it is.
- 26:22Speaker 2: Sticking me included.
- 26:25Speaker 16: And it's hard when you starting your eightieth year and you,
- 26:31Speaker 16: you know, like anybody, also have an opinion of myself.
- 26:35Speaker 2: And the opinion I've come to.
- 26:37Speaker 4: Is I don't matter.
- 26:39Speaker 16: And you know, we've got to try to think of
- 26:43Speaker 16: something different because.
- 26:46Speaker 2: What we're doing is really really not working.
- 26:52Speaker 3: I don't know how about trying to formulate policies that
- 26:55Speaker 3: don't destroy the country. That could be an idea about
- 26:58Speaker 3: not becoming some sad add copy of a Banana republic
- 27:01Speaker 3: where the ruling party tries to jail their main political rival.
- 27:06Speaker 3: How about not being lefties losing it on.
- 27:08Speaker 4: A daily basis.
- 27:09Speaker 3: That might see a bump in Biden's numbers, because you know,
- 27:13Speaker 3: things are pretty grim when even CNN can't hide the
- 27:17Speaker 3: truth anymore.
- 27:18Speaker 18: Look the sun Belt battleground sex. Frankly for the Joe
- 27:21Speaker 18: Biden campaign, these numbers are an absolute disaster. The smallest
- 27:24Speaker 18: leaders in Arizona for Donald Trump. He's up six. Look
- 27:27Speaker 18: at this nine in Georgia thirteen and Nevada. My goodness, gracious,
- 27:31Speaker 18: my god, that is a huge lead. No Democrat has
- 27:34Speaker 18: lost that state since John Kerry lost it back in
- 27:36Speaker 18: two thousand and four. How about these great late battleground sets.
- 27:40Speaker 18: This is something that the Joe Biden campaign.
- 27:42Speaker 2: Can work with.
- 27:43Speaker 3: Yes, the Joe Biden team can work with that. But
- 27:45Speaker 3: why is Trump doing so well in those Sun Belt
- 27:49Speaker 3: states like Nevada, Georgia, and Arizona. You're going to love
- 27:53Speaker 3: this answer from CNN. The CNN audience probably didn't like it,
- 27:57Speaker 3: but you will.
- 27:58Speaker 4: When you're looking into the number.
- 28:00Speaker 1: Why do you think Biden is doing better in the
- 28:02Speaker 1: Great Lakes and Trump is doing so much better than
- 28:04Speaker 1: the Sunbelt?
- 28:05Speaker 18: Yeah, the Trump coalition is changing. That's basically what's cooking here.
- 28:09Speaker 18: This is at least one of the big reasons why
- 28:11Speaker 18: so this is among likely voters in these in all
- 28:14Speaker 18: these battleground states we just spoke about. Back in twenty twenty,
- 28:17Speaker 18: eighty four percent of the Trump campaigns, the Trump coalition
- 28:22Speaker 18: was white. Look where it is now, it's seventy eight percent.
- 28:27Speaker 18: The non white portion of the Trump coalition. It was
- 28:29Speaker 18: thirteen percent in twenty twenty. Look at this now, it's
- 28:33Speaker 18: nineteen percent. So the Trump coalition is becoming more diverse.
- 28:36Speaker 18: And of course those Sun Belt battleground states are more
- 28:39Speaker 18: diverse than the Great Lake battleground station.
- 28:41Speaker 4: You're looking at the Nevadas in the Arizona SA.
- 28:43Speaker 18: Of course, if you look at Nevada, Arizona heavy Hispanic population,
- 28:46Speaker 18: Georgia heavily African American population, with the Michigan does have
- 28:50Speaker 18: some black voters in it, but Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are
- 28:53Speaker 18: heavily heavily white.
- 28:54Speaker 3: Yes, Trump's non white vote has jumped around fifty percent
- 28:59Speaker 3: and the white of the state. The better Joe Biden
- 29:02Speaker 3: is doing, doesn't that smash the media's tired old narratives.
- 29:07Speaker 3: Now to North Carolina, where some leftist students lost it
- 29:11Speaker 3: at Duke University's commencement ceremony on Sunday because the guest
- 29:15Speaker 3: speaker was Jerry Seinfeld, who has the audacity to be white, male, heterosexual,
- 29:20Speaker 3: and even worse, he is a Jew who supports Israel.
- 29:24Speaker 3: The lefties couldn't handle that. Some of them got up
- 29:27Speaker 3: and walked off as the crowd booed j I'm pretty
- 29:42Speaker 3: sure the crowd were booing all those lefties who were
- 29:44Speaker 3: walking off, But I do wonder what Seinfeld could have
- 29:48Speaker 3: said that would be so objectionable that you couldn't possibly
- 29:52Speaker 3: stomach it. You had to get up and walk off
- 29:56Speaker 3: and miss a massive milestone in your academic career. This
- 30:00Speaker 3: is possibly the most controversial parts of the speech. I'm
- 30:03Speaker 3: about to play you and a trigger warning for the
- 30:06Speaker 3: crazy people.
- 30:09Speaker 19: Privilege is a word that has taken quite a beating lately.
- 30:13Speaker 19: Privilege today seems to be the worst thing you can have.
- 30:17Speaker 19: I would like to take a moment to defend it.
- 30:21Speaker 2: Again.
- 30:22Speaker 19: A lot of you are thinking, I can't believe they
- 30:24Speaker 19: invited this guy.
- 30:26Speaker 6: Too late.
- 30:28Speaker 19: I say, use your privilege. I grew up a Jewish
- 30:32Speaker 19: boy from New York. That is a privilege. If you
- 30:34Speaker 19: want to be a comedian. My point is we're embarrassed
- 30:38Speaker 19: about things we should be proud of, and proud of
- 30:40Speaker 19: things we should be embarrassed about. So on my staff
- 30:44Speaker 19: in the nineties we had a lot of Harvard guys.
- 30:46Speaker 19: They were fantastic, but I could never understand why these
- 30:49Speaker 19: guys were so embarrassed about being from Harvard. They would
- 30:53Speaker 19: never talk about it, they would never mention it. I'm
- 30:56Speaker 19: not talking about Harvard now, I'm talking about the way
- 30:58Speaker 19: it used to be. You're never going to believe this.
- 31:02Speaker 19: Harvard used to be a great place to go to school.
- 31:07Speaker 3: I'm joined now by comedian Isaac Butterfield, who has kicked
- 31:11Speaker 3: off his twenty twenty four world tour in Australia. In
- 31:14Speaker 3: two days, he will be at the Capital Theater in Bendigo.
- 31:17Speaker 3: You can grab your tickets now, but be quick because
- 31:19Speaker 3: he sells out very quickly. Indeed, he's not only funny,
- 31:23Speaker 3: but he is one of the best at handling Heckler's one.
- 31:28Speaker 7: Year of the day since I did my last show,
- 31:31Speaker 7: Shout your Mouth, I remember you?
- 31:36Speaker 2: How do I remember you? Where do I know you? From? Kim?
- 31:40Speaker 2: I remember we had quite a weed interaction you.
- 31:42Speaker 3: Made an absolute yourself.
- 31:45Speaker 7: Everyone in the room hated you.
- 31:48Speaker 19: You left, we thought you perished, we celebrated, and yet
- 31:51Speaker 19: your return has come.
- 31:56Speaker 3: Izac Butterfield, Welcome to the program. Proud work is very good.
- 32:01Speaker 3: It's very important these days for stand up, isn't it
- 32:03Speaker 3: the crowded way?
- 32:04Speaker 7: It certainly is. It gets this new audience in that
- 32:06Speaker 7: I've never seen stand up before. And that right there,
- 32:08Speaker 7: that poor woman she's.
- 32:10Speaker 3: Been It wasn't mean to she wasn't living a heckler.
- 32:12Speaker 7: I am one of the worst people alive. I'll tell
- 32:14Speaker 7: you that right now, reader.
- 32:15Speaker 3: But it's fun.
- 32:16Speaker 7: It's a good time to get involved with the crowd,
- 32:19Speaker 7: and they come along and it's funny. You know, the
- 32:21Speaker 7: people who sit in the front roads, they pay the
- 32:23Speaker 7: most for the tickets, and they're the most interested, and
- 32:25Speaker 7: they're the first to buy. And then I go out
- 32:27Speaker 7: there and I'm like that horrible and mean, and it's
- 32:30Speaker 7: just part of It's what keeps it fun and new
- 32:33Speaker 7: for me, because I go out every night and I
- 32:35Speaker 7: do similar material and I'm working on new bits and
- 32:37Speaker 7: preparing for a special But to go out there and
- 32:39Speaker 7: find someone to ruin their day, that's what makes it fun.
- 32:43Speaker 3: They love it. They all want to be part of
- 32:45Speaker 3: those viral clips.
- 32:46Speaker 4: They love it.
- 32:48Speaker 3: Now you've only got only got a world tour, but
- 32:51Speaker 3: you've got a book which I'm very interested in because
- 32:55Speaker 3: the title alone, Better Man, a manifesto on modern masculine.
- 33:00Speaker 4: Now, that's going to trigger people.
- 33:02Speaker 3: Right then and there immediately.
- 33:04Speaker 4: Are you out Jordan Peterson?
- 33:07Speaker 7: Maybe a horrifically bogan verger of Jordan Peterson. No, not
- 33:10Speaker 7: at all. This is I didn't want to write, you know,
- 33:13Speaker 7: I didn't want to write something that was trying to
- 33:15Speaker 7: make me look like I was writing a biography. I'm
- 33:17Speaker 7: only thirty. I know it looks like I'm a bit older.
- 33:19Speaker 7: There's a harsh win where I live. It's important for
- 33:23Speaker 7: younger people to understand that, particularly they they come from
- 33:26Speaker 7: sixteen years old to a little bit older, that those years,
- 33:29Speaker 7: the formative years, they're going to encounter a lot of
- 33:32Speaker 7: different problems, issues and different ideas. And this book isn't
- 33:37Speaker 7: so much this A lot of people are saying, oh,
- 33:39Speaker 7: this is a far right comedian saying this not at all.
- 33:41Speaker 7: In fact, a lot of the opinions you probably see
- 33:44Speaker 7: in this book are very much in the middle. The
- 33:47Speaker 7: first chapter is all about mental health. There's a chapter
- 33:49Speaker 7: in the middle about marrying your best friend, which I
- 33:51Speaker 7: did with my wife and we get along like a
- 33:53Speaker 7: house on fire and have done for ten years. There's
- 33:55Speaker 7: a chapter about my son when he was born and
- 33:57Speaker 7: what you know you go through mentally to prepare for that.
- 34:00Speaker 7: And there's also me being a horrible person in there
- 34:04Speaker 7: as well. Don't worry about that. But it's important, I think,
- 34:07Speaker 7: for young dudes to not just hear these things on
- 34:10Speaker 7: the building side or in the footy club or wherever
- 34:12Speaker 7: they happen to be, wherever they get their information from,
- 34:15Speaker 7: to receive it from someone who's gone out and done
- 34:17Speaker 7: all these shows and traveled the world and met these people.
- 34:20Speaker 3: And it's still young and relatable because you appeal to
- 34:23Speaker 3: that demographic very strongly.
- 34:25Speaker 4: I've got a seventeen year old sons. I know that.
- 34:27Speaker 3: Do you think there is a crisis in masculinity in
- 34:31Speaker 3: not just Australia but the West. We have boys growing
- 34:34Speaker 3: up just hearing negative messages, the toxic masculinity. They're going
- 34:40Speaker 3: to be this, they're going to be that, And I
- 34:43Speaker 3: do wonder what the impact that has on their psyche
- 34:46Speaker 3: as they've grow into young men.
- 34:48Speaker 7: There's definitely horrible men, But to say that masculinity is
- 34:51Speaker 7: inherently toxic is ridiculous. You would never say that about
- 34:54Speaker 7: mean women being toxic feminine people. Yeah, I think it's
- 34:59Speaker 7: just one of those they get thrown around and they
- 35:01Speaker 7: don't see the damage that it does. Like dudes can
- 35:04Speaker 7: deal with it, older men can deal with it. But
- 35:06Speaker 7: we are seeing a distinct line in the sand at
- 35:10Speaker 7: younger people's preschools wherever they happen to be, or kindergartens.
- 35:14Speaker 7: It's the boys versus the girls. These boys are going
- 35:17Speaker 7: to grow up to be these horrible people and it's
- 35:19Speaker 7: just not the case. Absolutely, And I feel like that
- 35:22Speaker 7: creates an enemy between these two genders, one of the
- 35:26Speaker 7: many or two of the many genders.
- 35:27Speaker 4: And there are so many.
- 35:30Speaker 3: Well, let's have a look look at some of that,
- 35:32Speaker 3: because let's do some lefties together. It feels strange and
- 35:35Speaker 3: weird because it's something I do by myself.
- 35:38Speaker 4: It's a solo thing.
- 35:39Speaker 3: But let's start with the veep Kamala Harris, she just
- 35:44Speaker 3: started swearing.
- 35:47Speaker 13: We have to know that sometimes people will open the
- 35:51Speaker 13: door for you and leave it open.
- 35:52Speaker 3: Sometimes they won't, and then you.
- 35:55Speaker 4: Need to kick that door down. Steals my language. She's
- 36:09Speaker 4: just comedic goal.
- 36:11Speaker 3: She gives so much material, but the left in general do,
- 36:14Speaker 3: and yet comics are so shy about using that rich material.
- 36:21Speaker 3: Why is that. I know a lot of comics lean
- 36:23Speaker 3: left themselves, but when the left are giving you this craziness,
- 36:28Speaker 3: surely it's if you're interested in being funny, you're going.
- 36:32Speaker 4: To utilize it.
- 36:32Speaker 7: Yeah, being a left wing comedian is a smart business
- 36:35Speaker 7: decision because you're going to end up on you know,
- 36:37Speaker 7: the Channel tens or wherever you want to be, to
- 36:39Speaker 7: be on the Melbourne Comedy Festival road show. You're going
- 36:43Speaker 7: to be on these big platforms and they're going to
- 36:45Speaker 7: push you because.
- 36:46Speaker 3: You flick specials that are awful.
- 36:49Speaker 7: There are some very good ones, there's some very bad
- 36:52Speaker 7: ones as well. But also we know that comedy is subjective.
- 36:55Speaker 7: We know that people don't want to come and see
- 36:58Speaker 7: if they're an older person, so they are left wing themselves,
- 37:01Speaker 7: they probably don't want to come and see me. And
- 37:02Speaker 7: that's fine. Some people just aren't good people, they aren't
- 37:04Speaker 7: funny people. But other people do enjoy that, and I
- 37:07Speaker 7: think if there's a nice mix then it's fine. But
- 37:11Speaker 7: if you see, if you walk through Melbourne right now,
- 37:14Speaker 7: you go to the comedy clubs, I would be absolutely shunned.
- 37:18Speaker 7: They would not want me.
- 37:19Speaker 3: Which it's crazy because you have such an enormous following.
- 37:23Speaker 3: You've got more than two million followers on YouTube, Beloon.
- 37:27Speaker 3: I know you've got massive followings on other social media sites,
- 37:30Speaker 3: but that I look that up and I checked some
- 37:34Speaker 3: really high profile Aussie comics. I couldn't find a single
- 37:37Speaker 3: one that came close to your following. Jim Jeffries has
- 37:40Speaker 3: got three hundred thousand, and he had his own show
- 37:43Speaker 3: in the US, so you know he had really high profile.
- 37:45Speaker 3: But so there is obviously a market for your type
- 37:49Speaker 3: of comedy. It's just the comedy world seems to be
- 37:52Speaker 3: dominated by leftist types.
- 37:54Speaker 4: Now, I want to play you a couple of.
- 37:57Speaker 3: Clips involving pronouns, and this one has a pronoun threat
- 38:01Speaker 3: which I enjoyed.
- 38:05Speaker 17: E there, you can either respect my trans homies or
- 38:08Speaker 17: I can identify as a problem. And if I catch
- 38:11Speaker 17: your being disrespectful, your pronouns are going to be was
- 38:16Speaker 17: were thank you for coming and have a nice day.
- 38:21Speaker 3: I'm not sure if our death threats are a way
- 38:24Speaker 3: to have folks, embrace your neo pronouns.
- 38:27Speaker 7: My wife.
- 38:30Speaker 4: Let herself go a little bit.
- 38:32Speaker 7: She likes to dress up. It's interesting. And this is
- 38:35Speaker 7: the thing with TikTok is you're seeing some of the
- 38:37Speaker 7: most insane people of all time having a platform to
- 38:40Speaker 7: reach so many differently. At least people, you know, one
- 38:43Speaker 7: hundred years ago would be on the streets, people will
- 38:45Speaker 7: pass them and tiptoe around them and all that type
- 38:47Speaker 7: of stuff. But now they have a platform to the masses,
- 38:50Speaker 7: and we're seeing it right there.
- 38:51Speaker 3: We are, and we do not embrace any sort of
- 38:54Speaker 3: acts of violence on this program, except if it's delivered
- 38:58Speaker 3: by a cat.
- 39:00Speaker 11: Hi, my name is Aaron.
- 39:01Speaker 15: I use her pronouns, and I am.
- 39:09Speaker 3: That is one of the all time great clips ever.
- 39:13Speaker 3: I mean, you know, you can say what you want
- 39:14Speaker 3: about social media, but that eight seconds of twenty four
- 39:17Speaker 3: carrot gold there is max it all worth.
- 39:19Speaker 7: I've never been a fan of cats, but that that's good.
- 39:21Speaker 7: That's positive. A headway with cats, ah, I do.
- 39:25Speaker 3: But now, another thing I don't understand with comics these days,
- 39:28Speaker 3: because a lot of them seem to be looking for
- 39:30Speaker 3: applause saying, you know, a woke, little little pronouncement, yes,
- 39:36Speaker 3: but not fun not funny. Funny doesn't seem to be
- 39:39Speaker 3: the priority anymore. And I hear a lot of comics
- 39:42Speaker 3: talk about it, Well, we don't want to punch down,
- 39:44Speaker 3: this punching down concept, but you look at who's powerful.
- 39:50Speaker 3: All the big institutions where you're talking about, Hollywood studios,
- 39:54Speaker 3: sporting leagues, celebrities, corporates, they're all woke. So surely if
- 40:01Speaker 3: you are taking those on your punching up.
- 40:03Speaker 7: Yeah, I think in comedy it is all about. In
- 40:06Speaker 7: my personal opinion, I throw punches wherever they'll land. Oh
- 40:10Speaker 7: king here, it doesn't matter whatever's going on. All right,
- 40:13Speaker 7: people are coming and they're paying money to laugh to
- 40:16Speaker 7: for an hour, to forget about their lives, whether their
- 40:18Speaker 7: good lives, bad lives, are indifferent. And if you don't
- 40:21Speaker 7: give that to them, if they don't spend their entire
- 40:24Speaker 7: time barely laughing, the abs walking out, they hurting, then
- 40:29Speaker 7: you haven't done your job.
- 40:30Speaker 3: That's my I don't care if you're offensive, even if
- 40:33Speaker 3: you're offensive about things that I care about, as long
- 40:37Speaker 3: as it's funny. If you're offensive without the laugh, then well.
- 40:41Speaker 2: I got told.
- 40:42Speaker 7: Well basically last year I got canceled for an aboriginal joke. Now,
- 40:45Speaker 7: I have been doing aboriginal jokes since I started doing
- 40:48Speaker 7: comedy because I grew up playing rugby league with a
- 40:50Speaker 7: lot of Aboriginal fellows. And this is just how we
- 40:53Speaker 7: used banter, I guess you would say. Now, I eventually
- 40:56Speaker 7: got taken to the Human Rights Commission in Queensland because
- 40:59Speaker 7: of that joke, and it's still before the court.
- 41:02Speaker 5: Center.
- 41:02Speaker 7: It's a whole thing that's happened. I got served papers
- 41:06Speaker 7: because of a joke. One lady complained and then I
- 41:08Speaker 7: had to front the commission. Wow, so this is where
- 41:11Speaker 7: this is going. Like I know, a lot of people say,
- 41:13Speaker 7: you know, there's no such thing as cancel culture. Cancel culture.
- 41:15Speaker 7: That's cancel culture right there. That is Yeah, that's venues
- 41:20Speaker 7: not booking you because they don't want to deal with
- 41:22Speaker 7: the backlash because you're getting taken to a government organization.
- 41:26Speaker 3: Well, the process is part of the punishment when it
- 41:28Speaker 3: comes to the Human Rights Commission.
- 41:30Speaker 4: I don't know about your case.
- 41:31Speaker 3: I've got to confess I don't know the details of
- 41:33Speaker 3: that one, but I know about other cases where that's
- 41:36Speaker 3: very much the dynamic.
- 41:38Speaker 4: Isaac Butterfield, thank you. So much for time. This evening
- 41:42Speaker 4: still to come.
- 41:42Speaker 3: President Joe Biden backtracks on his commitments to Israel.
- 41:46Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 41:47Speaker 3: Berneza government meanwhile, is accused of supporting terrorism, welcome back.
- 42:01Speaker 3: The White House is set to scale back its support
- 42:04Speaker 3: of Israel and its war against Haamas. The Biden administration's
- 42:08Speaker 3: decision to puuse a shipment of arms marked a significant
- 42:12Speaker 3: turning point which can have a lasting impact on the
- 42:15Speaker 3: administration's relationship with Israel. Joining me now is TV host
- 42:20Speaker 3: and journalist Emily Schrader. Emily, there are deep divisions in
- 42:25Speaker 3: the Democrat Party over President Biden's response to this conflict.
- 42:29Speaker 3: Do Israelis still feel that the US has their back,
- 42:33Speaker 3: that they've got them alongside them as they fight to
- 42:36Speaker 3: eliminate Hermas Well?
- 42:38Speaker 9: First of all, Rita, thanks for having me on. Always
- 42:40Speaker 9: a pleasure to be here in regards to what's going
- 42:43Speaker 9: on in the United States. And do Israelis actually feel
- 42:46Speaker 9: that America has their back? I think the vast majority
- 42:50Speaker 9: of Israelis feel that the American people have their back,
- 42:53Speaker 9: But when it comes to the Biden administration, I think
- 42:56Speaker 9: we've seen a sharp turn and a turn that quite frankly,
- 42:59Speaker 9: is not surprising given this US administration's foreign policy from
- 43:04Speaker 9: day one on other states as well, be it Russia, China,
- 43:07Speaker 9: or the Islamic Republic of Iran. There's been a very,
- 43:10Speaker 9: very weak foreign policy from the Biden administration, and I'm
- 43:13Speaker 9: not surprised at all to see that he's sort of
- 43:16Speaker 9: cowtowing to the more extremist elements within the Democratic Party.
- 43:21Speaker 9: Now this is despite the fact, of course that it's
- 43:22Speaker 9: particulabarly going to lose in the election, so he's pandering
- 43:27Speaker 9: to people who really are not going to have his back,
- 43:29Speaker 9: even electorally in the long term.
- 43:33Speaker 3: Well, he does seem to be focused on domestic issues
- 43:38Speaker 3: even when making these calls on foreign policy. And we
- 43:41Speaker 3: keep hearing about a two state solution a fantasy right now.
- 43:45Speaker 3: But at Douglas Murray, who will join me on the
- 43:48Speaker 3: program tomorrow and night, had this take on the two
- 43:52Speaker 3: state solution that is actually motivating Biden's decision making.
- 43:57Speaker 7: He believes famously in the two state solution, which is
- 44:00Speaker 7: a Minnesot from Michigan, and he's trying he's trying to please,
- 44:10Speaker 7: he's trying to please a few hundred thousand people in America.
- 44:13Speaker 7: I don't think he's going to please anyone.
- 44:14Speaker 3: It Emily, Do you agree with that that so much
- 44:19Speaker 3: of what we're seeing from the Biden administration is motivated
- 44:25Speaker 3: by holding onto those couple of crucial states that have
- 44:29Speaker 3: large Muslim populations who are very, very energized about this
- 44:33Speaker 3: particular issue.
- 44:36Speaker 9: I think that that is one of the problems that
- 44:38Speaker 9: the Biden administration is facing in one of their misjudgments
- 44:42Speaker 9: in terms of policy. But I do think that the
- 44:44Speaker 9: problem actually runs much deeper than that, because the policies
- 44:47Speaker 9: that we've seen are being implemented by the people that
- 44:50Speaker 9: Biden has hired. And the people that Biden has hired,
- 44:53Speaker 9: including in the National Security Council, are people who have
- 44:57Speaker 9: associations with Students for Justice in Palestine, I had associations
- 45:00Speaker 9: with the Muslim Brotherhood, people who have had very very
- 45:04Speaker 9: weak policies of appeasement towards terrorist organization, whether it's Commas
- 45:10Speaker 9: or the Islamic Republic of Eyon itself. And this is
- 45:13Speaker 9: the consistent trend that we have seen from this administration,
- 45:16Speaker 9: a type of moral cowardice when it comes to dealing
- 45:20Speaker 9: with not just the Israel Hamas war, because that's only
- 45:23Speaker 9: one element of the evil that we're facing today. But
- 45:26Speaker 9: in terms of dealing with terrorist organizations as the whole
- 45:29Speaker 9: across the entire world, we do need someone to be
- 45:32Speaker 9: a moral authority on these issues, and frankly, I much
- 45:36Speaker 9: prefer that it be the United States, for example, than
- 45:39Speaker 9: say China or Russia, or god forbid, the Islamic Republic.
- 45:45Speaker 4: Yes.
- 45:45Speaker 3: Well, the Australian government has been accused of supporting terrorism
- 45:50Speaker 3: after voting for United Nations resolution calling for the Security
- 45:54Speaker 3: Council to admit Palestine as a member state. The decision
- 45:59Speaker 3: has understandably at right mini here in Australia. We've had
- 46:03Speaker 3: more than seventy years of bipartisanship before this. But what
- 46:08Speaker 3: has the response being to this decision in Israel? Is
- 46:11Speaker 3: there a sense of betrayal that a once staunch ally
- 46:16Speaker 3: has voted with Israel's enemies.
- 46:21Speaker 9: I think that the statements of Pennywong and the actions
- 46:24Speaker 9: of Australia and the United Nations are very problematic. I
- 46:27Speaker 9: do think there's a sense of betrayal on the ground
- 46:29Speaker 9: here in Israel. Of course, Australia is not the only
- 46:33Speaker 9: nation to sort of tiptoe around this issue and pay
- 46:37Speaker 9: lip service to the Palestinian cause in perhaps ways that
- 46:40Speaker 9: they really shouldn't be. I think that the fact we're
- 46:43Speaker 9: even discussing a Palestinian state in the aftermath of October seventh,
- 46:46Speaker 9: one of the biggest terrorist attacks we've ever seen, the
- 46:49Speaker 9: highest number of Jews who have been killed since the
- 46:51Speaker 9: Holocaust in one day. To respond to that by saying, oh, well,
- 46:54Speaker 9: maybe we should talk about Palestinian statehood is insanity, especially
- 46:58Speaker 9: when you're still dealing with a US and European and
- 47:01Speaker 9: many other countries designated terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip
- 47:05Speaker 9: who is still in control after all the international pressure
- 47:08Speaker 9: that's been placed on Israel to stop their actions, their
- 47:12Speaker 9: defensive actions in a just and moral and legal war.
- 47:17Speaker 9: It's outrageous. It's outrageous to be placing the responsibility on
- 47:20Speaker 9: the State of Israel for this. The entire international community,
- 47:23Speaker 9: including Australia, should be united against TAMAS, and there should
- 47:26Speaker 9: be no other discussion about a Palestinian state or negotiations
- 47:30Speaker 9: or anything else until this Hamas terrorist organization is completely eliminated.
- 47:35Speaker 9: They are unable to rule the Gaza Strip anymore and
- 47:37Speaker 9: all of the hostages they have taken are returned home. Instead,
- 47:41Speaker 9: we hear endless chatter about the Palestinian cause, and one
- 47:44Speaker 9: State Tuesday twenty states, I don't care about that. We
- 47:47Speaker 9: don't care about that right now. What we care about
- 47:49Speaker 9: is getting our hostages home and that should that should
- 47:52Speaker 9: be the priority for every single world leader as well.
- 47:55Speaker 9: It's not even a political issue. You can support Palestinians
- 47:58Speaker 9: and still support exactly what I said. In fact, you should.
- 48:01Speaker 9: An actual pro Palestinian policy is against Haamas, it's against
- 48:05Speaker 9: Islamic jihad, it's against the Islamic Republic, and it's actually
- 48:08Speaker 9: supportive of the civilians who are not engaged with terrorism,
- 48:12Speaker 9: which is not what we're seeing from the international community.
- 48:15Speaker 4: We see the.
- 48:15Speaker 9: Propping up of hamas, including unfortunately by the US administration.
- 48:19Speaker 9: The only impact they're having by withholding some of these
- 48:22Speaker 9: munitions that are more precise by the way that would
- 48:24Speaker 9: actually prevent more civilian casualties is that you're going to
- 48:28Speaker 9: see more bloodshed as a result of that. This is
- 48:31Speaker 9: a misguided policy from the US administration, and it's a
- 48:34Speaker 9: misguided approach from any of the nations, especially Western democratic
- 48:38Speaker 9: nations who have historically been allied with Israel, like Australia,
- 48:42Speaker 9: to use this war in this situation to somehow advance
- 48:46Speaker 9: the issue of a Palestinian state, which is completely separate
- 48:50Speaker 9: from what we see going on in the Gaza strip
- 48:52Speaker 9: right now.
- 48:55Speaker 3: Well said Emily Schreide. Thank you so much for your
- 48:57Speaker 3: time this evening. Thank you. That's it for me tonight.
- 49:02Speaker 3: Newsnight is up next. I'll see you at eleven tomorrow.
- 49:05Speaker 4: Good night,
