  Speaker 1: Lately. Welcome the late Babe.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Well, good evening and thanks for joining us.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: I'm James Macpherson with Liz Storer and Caleb Bond. Speaking
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: of Caleb Bond, news that's going to really upset him.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: We'll get to it later that the world's fattest cat
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: has died. Caleb will probably have more on that for
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: us later. Speaking of animals, Sydney mathematicians have proved, no
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: matter how long you give them, monkeys typing randomly will
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: never reproduce the works of Shakespeare.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Groundbreaking research. We'll get to all of that, plus what's.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Making news tomorrow, including research finds a link between mental
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: health issues and hot weather, and as well, another interesting
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: story tomorrow, the same bureaucrat who headed up Dan Andrews's
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: ill fated COVID quarantine program is now heading up Australia's
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: immigration system. What could possibly go wrong? We'll get to
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: all of that when we look at the papers. But first,
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Australian mining man man magnate Twiggy Forest has launched blistering
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: tirade against fossil fuels, accusing those who promote them of
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: being dictators and fascists.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: But of course, if you listen to people on the left.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Everyone these days as a dictator and a fascist, so
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: it probably doesn't mean too much. In a podcast to
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: be released tomorrow, Australia's second richest man is asked whether
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: fossil fuels are reliable and friendly and he launches into
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: this explanation. He says, that's such rubbish. I mean, there's
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: clever players out there. They're called dictators, fascists, oligarchs who
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: send out bots all over the world, AI driven bots
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: to create messages saying you've got to stay with the
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: oil and gas because you know your energy costs are
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: going to go up and you stand to have your
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: standard of living going down, and my god, save yourself.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Stick with fossil fuels, these bots are supposedly saying. He says,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: it's just rubbish. The cheapest form of energy on Earth
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: is renewables. Well, Calebrin Liz, I've got a couple of questions. Firstly,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Australia is one of the greatest exporters of fossil fuels
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: coal exports, for instance, So is it Anthony alban Easy
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: who's the fascist or is it his Resources Minister Madeline King. Second,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: my quarterly power bill keeps showing prices going up and up,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: so do I refuse to pay it on the grounds
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: it's just an AI bond having me on.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Third, when Twitgy insists that renewables.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Are the cheapest form of power, is that true or
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: is that just something that a billionaire with massive investments
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: in renewables says from time to time. And finally, Twiggy
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: and all his friends are trying to get Australians to
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: move away from coal, which is cheap and reliable, and
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: be forced to use renewables without our consent, which sounds
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: kind of like what dictators and fascists would do. So
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: is this not a case of pot kettle green.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Liz, I'm just shocked to find out that we're bots.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: We're bots, apparently, only this is misinformation, disinformation saying your
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: power bills going up, saying and reliable energy cannot be
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: provided to you by green energy as it currently stands,
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: we do still need fossil fuels. I read this entire article,
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: reading what he'd said on the podcast, and cracked up laughing,
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: being like, you must love newscock, buddy, because we are
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: onto you and the fast that is currently green energy.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: I do not know why anyone would.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Listen to this man who has made his fortune for
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: desk You is worth fifty eight billion dollars off iron
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: or a lot of mining, which means a lot of emissions,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: then transporting that iron ore way more emissions, and then
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: a heck of a lot more emissions turning that iron
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: ore into steel.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: Where do you get off? You have a.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Private jet, you have your own yacht, and you're preaching
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: to other people about the extremities they must go to
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: in order to make this green.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: Dream a reality.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Lastly, let's not forget that in July this year's failed
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: back for Tescu's plan to ensure that he was going
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: to create fifteen million tons of this u butte green
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: energy by twenty thirty.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: So where's your real passion, mate?
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: When you scowled that project back because drum roll please, it.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: Wasn't going to be cost effective.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: I mean, seriously, you're the second richest man in Australia.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: This is apparently your passion, but you're not willing to.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: Lose a dollar or two over pursuing it.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Do me a favor. Why is anyone listening to this guy?
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean the irony is clearly lost on him
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: that what he is doing here is exactly what he
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: accuses the quote unquote dictators and oligarchs of doing, right,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: because what he's we imagine referring to is you know, Russia,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: in the Middle East and whatever that sells a lot
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: of oil, and he's accusing them of running interference so
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that they can continue making money selling their products. But
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: here we have man who's invested heavily in renewable energy
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: running interference against the competitor so that people will be
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: more likely to invest in his product. Where's the difference.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: There is no difference. He's doing exactly the same thing.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I'd like to see one shred of evidence proof whatever
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: he might have, that it is because of Russian bots
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and Middle Eastern AI bots that people have noticed that
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: their power bills are going up, and that it's a
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: lie that renewable energy is the cheapest form of energy.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Where's the evidence? Bring it? Look, mister Forrest, you can
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: find me email address, sorry, Taylor dot bond, that's goynews
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: dot com dot AU. I invite you to email me
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the proof you have that this is all done by bots,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and we'll show it on the program tomorrow night. I
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: have literally never ever heard anyone suggest that there are
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Russian bots or any other sort of sort of bots
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: running interference for fossil fuels. I've heard allegations about him
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: being used in elections, I've never heard of it being
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: used for fossil fuels. If Twiggy Forest is the only
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: man in the world who has worked out that this
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: is going on, please show it to me. But if
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I knew that all I had to do to were
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: in the medium backs was being AI bot, I would
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: have done it a long time ago.
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: But here's the thing. They don't need to lie. They
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: don't need to lie.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: It's the world over, as wetted as they may be
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: to the green dream. And yes, we'd love to just
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: run solely on renewables, and we are making great headway
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: in that space.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: We all admit it's just not up to scratch.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: Yet we can't solely rely on renewables. So this idea
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: that it's misinformation disinformation that we still need fossil fuels
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: and that it's all so nobody needs to lie about that,
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: it's just point in fact, otherwise we would all be
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: taking up the promised land of renewable energy, isn't it
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: the cheapest, isn't it the best? We'd all just be
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: living in the land of milk and honey, powered by renewables.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: The only reason why we can't, the only reason why
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: we don't is because we still do need fossil fuels.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: So him coming out saying this is misinformation, disinformation generated
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: by aibots.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: N by Russia. It's always Russia.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, show me a problem that we don't have
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: that is apparently Russia's fault.
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: It's just nonsensical.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: We've got to give him a little bit of credit, though,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: because there was one other thing he said, and that
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: was that the whole carbon credit scheme is a CROC
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: that's been invented simply so investment bankers can.
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: Trade and something we can agree on.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: That he's right about.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, they maybe you've been written by aibots as well. Now,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: in barely over twenty four hours, people will be going
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: to the polls into the US. I know that you will,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: like I will be glued to the coverage here on
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Sky News all through Wednesday our time, Tuesday their time
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: in the US. Now it seems to be a bit
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: of the calm before the storm. At the moment, the
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: stories have slowed down a bit. You've had the last
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: spate of rallies being held by Harris and Trump over
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the weekend. But we are getting to the pointy end
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: of this campaign now. Harris, as we know, throughout this campaign,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: at many points, has struggled to articulate what her point
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: of view is on anything. Really. She constantly ducks and
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: weaves in interviews. If she's pressed on what her policies
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: actually are, she simply tells you to go to her website.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: She can't seem to come up with a clear line
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: on what she actually believes and would you believe it? CNN,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: of all the athletes in the US, has shown up
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: exactly how duplicitous she has been. When she can actually
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: come up with a policy, it's a different policy depending
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: on which state she's talking to.
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: Take a look, Tamala Harris is targeting crucial battleground voters
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: with vastly different messages on Gaza and Israel. This ad
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: is running in Michigan, which has the largest Arab population
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: in America.
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: What has happened in over the past nine months is devastating.
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: and I will not be silent.
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: It's a very different story for an ad in Pennsylvania
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: targeting Jewish voters.
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: I will always stand up for Israel's right to defend itself,
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: defend itself because the people of Israel must never again
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: face the horror that a terrorist organization called harmas calls
• 9:35
  Speaker 7: on October.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Seventh, What does Kamala Harris actually believe? Who knows? It
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: depends on what side of the bed she woke up
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: on that morning and who she's talking to. Speaking of
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Kamala Harris not being able to articulate her view on
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: anything because she doesn't want to offend anyone, because the
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: only thing she's got is that she's not Donald Trump.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: We know that her home state is California. Now at
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the election, as I said, in barely a day's time,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: in California, they will be voting. I was going to
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: say protesting that comes into it later, voting on Proposition
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: thirty six. Now, that is a proposal that the state
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: constitution be amended to bring in a slew of new
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: offenses and heavier offenses for theft and drugs. In particular,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: it would increase the penalty for repeat shoplifters. It would
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: require drug penalties to be served in jail, so you
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: couldn't have home detention. For instance, if you are caught
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: with drugs, you would have caught imposed rehab and then
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: if you failed that rehab, you would be sent off
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: to jail. And also if you are prosecuted for drag dealing,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the court would have to warn you that if someone
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: died as a result of the drugs you sold them,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: you could be prosecuted for murder. Pretty straightforward crime, and
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: this sort of thing right well, Kamala Harris was asked,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: how did you vote, because she's already sent off a vote,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: how did you vote on Proposition thirty six? Could you
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: give an answer?
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: Have you returned the ballot to California and how did
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: you vote on thirty six?
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: So I have my ballot is on its way to California,
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: and I'm going to trust the system that it will
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: arrive there. And I am not going to talk about
• 11:19
  Speaker 7: the vote on that because honestly, it's the Sunday before
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: the election, and I don't intend to create an endorsement
• 11:26
  Speaker 7: one way or another.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, you would think this might be something on
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the minds of people, particularly in her home state of California.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, take a look at some of this footage
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: of looting that has gone on in California. We assume,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: given that she doesn't want to tell us how she's voted,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: that she may well have voted against Proposition thirty six,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: and all of this kind of thing is perfectly acceptable
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: to Kamala Harris. There may be a lot more of
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: it under a Harris administration. I mean, look, she's got
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the final days to actually come out in the leader
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: to the election say look, I believe in something. She
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: still cannot do it. If she can't do it, now,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: how are we to expect that if she actually became
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: president she'd ever actually be able to make any decisions
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: on her own, little on any decisions at all, because
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: she does not believe in anything.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: Well, no one expects that from her any right, quite
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: as it goes currently, But this would have to be
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: the easiest question to answer, How did you vote on
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: Proposition thirty six?
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Go for it.
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: Just be like, yes, of course, I'm tough on crime.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: Proposition thirty six is simply closing loopholes in the system
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: which is making life far too easy for shoplifters and
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: drug dealers. Yes, of course I voted for it. She
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: could not even do that. And when you look at
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: the crime stats in California, the state has gone to
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: the dogs, not unusual for a Democrat run state that
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: is way too soft on crime.
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: Here was her chance to speak to a.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: Very real issue which is not only affecting California, but
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: indeed the entire country. And yet she still couldn't just
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: give a succinct, simple answer, instead backing your way and saying, oh,
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to get into that because it's close
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: to the election. Can you imagine if any politician said
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: that here, Yes, it's close to the election. That is
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: why it's very crucial to give us a point blank
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: answer to a very easy question.
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: Lady, she cannot do it.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: And as to the Israel Gaza thing, this feeble specimen
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: is once again been caught out.
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: You don't have a stance on this, really, Who do
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: you stand with? Who do you stand with?
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: Oh, well, you know in Pennsylvania standing with the Jewish
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: community in another state where I know all few more
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: Arabs in this area. I'm just going to be seen
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: to be all things to all men. But one thing
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: that is incredibly true politics. If you try to have
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: a message for everyone, you end up having a message
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: for no. And I think America has figured that out
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: about this woman.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she's an absolute mist She's like a vapor you.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: You can't get hold of her. The only time she
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: ever makes any sense is if she's got a teleprompter
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: in front of her, which is why she won't do
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: mainstream interviews, preferring to perform on Saturday Night Live, because
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: they're not going to confront her with the contradictions in
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: her own campaign. Like CNN just pointed out there, and
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: it was so telling as you said that her reason
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: for not giving a position on Proposition thirty six is
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: it's too close to the election. I mean, she might
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: as well just come straight out and say I don't
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: want people to know what I really think lest they
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: don't vote for me. But speaking of people voting, you know,
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: when you keep close to the bellet, you're supposed to
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: be the underdog, aren't you, Because in America it's not
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: compulsory to vote, so you really need to mobilize people
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: to get out there. So the last thing you want
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: is for people to think you're a shoe in because
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: then well why would I bother going out into the
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: you know, out and voting if you're going to already win.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: But Donald Trump does not thing according to orthodoxy, and
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: he's boasting that he's pretty much got this thing in
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: the bag.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Have a listened, not supposed to say this?
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: You know, I'm going to be like the fake is
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: this saying it's very close. It's really not very close.
• 15:16
  Speaker 8: Based on what's been happening the South.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: So close we're leading, We're leading in all seven swings.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: Say it, says, your brother will.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: It's really not very close. I've got this thing in
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: the bag.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: There's a story on the front page of Tomorrow's Australian
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: which says Trump will either be proved to be a
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: genius or a fool, and that little clip will come
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: back either to haunt him or to demonstrate, man, the
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: guy is an absolute genius.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: It does seem an odd way to rev up you base, right,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: because like you said, what you want to do is
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: get people to come out and vote. I mean, I
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: would have thought the number one thing you'd be doing
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: right now is putting the fear of God into people
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: and saying if you don't come out and vote for me.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: You could end up with Kamala Harris for president, for
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: heaven's sake, and instead of saying no, d it's all fine,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: don't worry about it now, he may well be right.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: In the polls which currently show it is quite close,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: particularly in the number of the swing states, are wrong.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: I think there is still a large contingent of people
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: who are inclined to vote for Trump but almost feel
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: ashamed of the fact that they are inclined to vote
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: for Trump and won't tell polsters who tend to lean
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: to the left what they actually want to do. But
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I don't understand why you would use that as your
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: tactic because the media is going to report that it's
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: close anyway, So what does it help you to go
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: out and say, oh, well, I've got this one in
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the bag. Interesting though, was the polling out of Iowa yesterday,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: which Trump has had in the bag at the last
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: two elections, supposedly showing that that could go to Harris.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Now again, like all of these polls in the swing states,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: they are within the margin of era, So we don't know.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, they could all go to Harris, or they
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: could all go to Trump, could be a split down
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: the middle. Who knows. Again, it is within the margin
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: of era, but I work being in play. It's not
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: to think anyone had ever talked about or thought was
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: going to happen. Who knows what's going on.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: I want to know where his confidence coming from. Because
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: as much as the poles are looking good for Trump,
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: when you're talking about the seven swing states, the bottom
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: line is.
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: Nobody knows until all the votes are counted.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: Your guess is as good as mine. And that's what
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: all the polsters basically say to each other. They've all
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: got different slightly different polls depending on which polster you're
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: tuning into. But at the end of the day, the
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: reason why these swing states are called swing states is
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: they're highly unpredictable and there's a tiny margin separating the
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: winner from the loser. And don't forget we've got the
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: dodgy dominion voting machines. You may have seen some of
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: those videos online people trying to vote for Trump. Yes
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: it's happening again and being unable to.
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: We've got some states saying.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Hang on a minute, we've got more people on our
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: electoral role, then we do have eligible voters in our states.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: That's a big problem. We've got the DOJ suing several
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: states now who tried to clean up their electoral roles
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: to get illegals off or people who weren't eligible to vote.
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: So that's going marvelously. I mean, the list of ways.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: In which you're seeing tiny cheats, as well as them
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: not allowing the Republican supervisors to be at polling booths,
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: that was a whole another shious muzzle. All these tiny
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: cheats can go a very long way depending on which counties. Remember,
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: each of the states look after their own counting methods.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: Some of them have already flagged. This is going to
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: take us days? Really, why this is the twenty first century?
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: Why is it going to take you days?
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: And I wouldn't be surprised if this actually drags out
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: for weeks, as we see quite a bit of Shenanigan's
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: playing out post election.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: One of my favorite interviews over the last twenty four
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: hours in the US election is this one with Nancy Pelosi.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Pelosi's eighty four years old.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Now, remember they got rid of Biden because it was
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: obvious after the debate his mental decline was apparent for
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: all to see. Now, the Democrats who are masters at gaslighting,
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: have turned that back on Trump, and they're trying to
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: point out that Trump is suffering from cognitive decline. Well,
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: eighty four year old Nancy Pelosi tries to make that argument.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: But if you're going to accuse somebody else of suffering
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: from cognitive decline, you should do a little bit better
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: of a job hiding your own cognitive decline.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Have a listen, good morning.
• 19:36
  Speaker 9: Wonderful to be with you again on this weekend before
• 19:39
  Speaker 9: the election.
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: I think that what.
• 19:44
  Speaker 9: The ex president just said is a further indication of
• 19:47
  Speaker 9: his cognitive degeneration. You saw recently were talking about whether
• 19:53
  Speaker 9: he chose electrocution or being eaten by sharks.
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: Something's very wrong there.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: I think, Liz, you don't talk that well.
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: Well, give her a break. How old is she to.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: Go about a thousand about it that I cannot remember
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: a time before that woman was in Congress. I mean,
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: it's sad to say, obviously I was old.
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: Trust she is and it bows.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: And she wants to pick on his at mental degeneracy.
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: Staying in the States.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: Now, there's a brand new issue counter Light that has
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: gone absolutely viral.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: People are legitimately asking is this an election decider.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: You may or may not be aware of Peanut the squirrel.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: He is a viral sensation, and just so you're a
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: little bit familiar with him before I tell you this
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: sad tale of massive government overreach. Here he is during
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: the happy days with his owner, Mark Longo.
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: Don't get attached.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: What I'm about to tell you is devastating. So is
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: a New York squarel right, and he was recently seized
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: by the.
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: Department of.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: Environmental Conservation to test him and his friend Raccoon.
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: He also lived with Mark Longo, and they were euthanized.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: The state came to this guy's house, raided it, took.
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: His animals and killed them.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: They said it was because they were there to test.
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: Them for rabies.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: Now Here is owner Mark Longo explaining the drastic extent
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: they went to in order to get their hands on
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: his pet animals that he'd lived with for over seven years.
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: It not only tears my family apart, but Peanut was
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: the cornerstone of our nonprofit animal rescue and ten to
• 22:08
  Speaker 8: twelve dec officers raided my house as if I was
• 22:11
  Speaker 8: a drug dealer. I was sat outside my house for
• 22:15
  Speaker 8: five hours. I had to get a police escort to
• 22:18
  Speaker 8: my bathroom. I wasn't even allowed to feed my rescue
• 22:22
  Speaker 8: horses breakfast or lunch. I was sitting sat there like
• 22:26
  Speaker 8: a criminal. After they interrogated my wife to check out
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: her immigration status, then proceeded to ask me if I
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: had cameras in my house, then proceeded to go through
• 22:37
  Speaker 8: every cabinet, nook and cranny of my house for a
• 22:39
  Speaker 8: squirrel in a raccoon.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: They got a search warrant.
• 22:42
  Speaker 10: They got a search warrant, four departments and a judge
• 22:47
  Speaker 10: signed off on a search warrant for a squirrel in
• 22:50
  Speaker 10: a raccoon, and then they took them and killed them.
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: Government overreached, gone nuts.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: Now for some people this might be even a rather
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: amusing if you're like the two men next to me
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: laughing or trying not.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: To laugh because.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: It's a squirrel. That was a great joke. You did
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: very well.
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: You guys are the ones with the dad joke, So I.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Make them mistakenly realize carry on.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: For some this may be a funny story, being like, well,
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: why do people care the animals?
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: The wild animals? Apparently they weren't supposed to.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: Be kept in a house domestically, even though both of
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: them were abandoned, would never have made it in the wild,
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: and that's why Mark Longo had taken them under his
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: wings and made them viral sensations on the interwebs, raising
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: money which he then used to fund a home for
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: otherwise homeless animals. But this is a story about the
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: government being able to barge into a man's house, treat
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: him like a criminal, strip him off his rights, literally
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: rifle through all his belongings, take his pets for no
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: reason other than to test them for rabies. Can you
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: not test an animal for raby while it's still alive
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: and then hand it back. No, these guys call themselves
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: the Environmental Conservation Department. They're killing animals, not helping anybody.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: And I love Elon Mask actually tweeted about this at
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: least three times today. Here's a meme that he posted
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: speaking to the issue. Here's Democrats in New York. They're
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: not arresting illegals, they're not arresting rapists, They're not arresting
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: the murderers that we keep hearing.
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: About on the streets of New York.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: No, No, they're going straight after the squirrels. And all
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: because some Karen Miles and miles away wasn't even in.
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: The same state. Had reported this to.
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: The department after seeing the happy couple on socials, couldn't
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: bear it, had to report them, and now they're dead.
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: There's a special place in hell for Karen's like this.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: This story just goes to prove that old Ronald Reagan
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: quote that you know the government is not here to
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: help it me the case that governments were there to
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: safeguard your liberty. Now, governments exist to get involved in
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: every minutia of your life and regulate it. And so
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: this guy's got a pet, but it wasn't an authorized pet,
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: and so the government. If Peanut had identified as female,
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: it would have made a statue for Peanut.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Or maybe if Peanut identified as a dog or a cat,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: it would have been Okay, you can own one of
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: those without a permit. I mean, for heavens say, we
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: need justice for Peanut. I mean, Peanut's mother was hit
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: by a car and Marx or Peanut and took Peanut
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: in and looked after him, as you said, list for
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: seven years. Right. Yeah, this is an animal that at
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: that point cannot live in the wild. It is a
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: domesticated animal. If you released it. It would simply go
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: on to die. Someone makes a complaint and they run
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: in and say, oh, we've got to make sure he
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: doesn't have a rabies. Well, could they have not just
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: tech tested Mark and see and his wife and see
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: whether they had rabies? Mean, they've been with a bloody
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: animal for seven years, right, if the squirrel's got rabies,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: I'd say there's a fair chance they've got rabies as well?
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Who cares? Who cares it was in his house. This
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: is what will happen if Kamala Harris is elected president.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: They'll come and take your animals. They'll kill all of them.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: They'll say, I want to take your pet and kill it.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Before I contested.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: Happened a Trump administration. That Trump would have saved people.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: We already know that Donald Trump is the defender of
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: the cats and dogs in Springfield, Ohio, and he will
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: be the defender of the squirrels of New York as well.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: I want to know, do they not have syringes in
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: the state of New York? I mean, could you not
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: just take some blood from Peanut the squirrel to see
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: whether he had rabies? Why did he have to be killed?
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Reminds me of that case of Molly the magpie, and
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: she was a rescue as well and her own. She
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: became famous on social media again for hanging out with
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: a staffordshre terrrier dog. I mean, for heaven's sake, if
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: even as Staffy gets along with a magpie, then it
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: might be a pretty extraordinary bird. And someone makes a
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: complaint and income the EPA or whoever it was to
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: take the magpie away. How do we have any joy
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: in this world?
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: I think if you're on the key point here, if
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: you've got a animal at home you're keeping as a
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: pet that's not a regular orthodox pet, don't put it
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: on social media. Because that's what happened on the Gold Ghosts.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: That's what's happened in the US. They've put these animals
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: on social media, which has then invited every anonymous carren
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: to complain.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Next thing, the government are on your doorsteps.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: Speaking of the government, it's not much better here in Australia,
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: we've just found out this weekend that Australia cannot afford
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: a planned seven billion dollar military grade satellite system, which
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: would ensure we have state of the art defense, but
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: we can afford to pay off sixteen billion dollars worth
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: of student debt so that Anthony Albanesi can gun a
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: vote from twenty year olds at the next election. It
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: was just eighteen months ago that the Australian government announced
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: with great fanfare this new satellite system. They had gone
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: out to tender contracted Lockheed Martin to produce three to
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: five satellites that will protect the Australian military from cyber attacks.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: This was going to be incredibly important for our military defense.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: In fact, Air Vice Marshal David Schule said at the time.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: Currently across Defense there is up to eighty nine capabilities
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: which depend on satellite communications. Once delivered, the new system
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: will increase the resilience, agility and flexibility of Defence's military
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: satellite capability. That was just eighteen months ago. But now
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: we find out the government didn't allocate any money for
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: this seven billion dollar project in the defense budget. So
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: a year and a half after announcing this to the nation,
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: they've now said, actually we're not going to do it.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: Bear in mind, though we spent what was at four
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: hundred billion dollars on the voice referendum six hundred million
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: dollars on a rugby team for popwork.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: New Guinea.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: We spend what is it about thirty forty billion dollars
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: every year on indigenous affairs, but we can't find seven
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: billion dollars. Just announced, as I said, sixteen billion dollars
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: wiped off student debt, but can't find seven billion dollars
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: to make sure our nation is as secure as possible
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: in the likelihood of conflict with China in the next
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: few years. This is just one of a litany of
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: defense announcements that then turn out to be nothing burgers
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: just months years later. We found out only a couple
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: of days ago that our six Collins class submarines, five
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: of them are currently under maintenance. One of them has
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: been having maintenance for two years. We've got one submarine
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: that can actually utilize.
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: Honestly, China, just come and take us.
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: Honestly, we're sitting ducks. They're reading these headlines too, going
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: good grief.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: We won't have to.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: Fire a shot.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: The only big thing here is when our young people
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: are speaking Mandarin, they won't come next.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: But I mean, you know, you point out all the
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: other great expenditure in the budget. I mean where we
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: always spend somewhere in the order of one hundred billion
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: dollars on the indies and other welfare combined. Right, well,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: you won't have a country left to spend the one
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: hundred billion dollars on welfare in the NDEs, we can't
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: spend seven billion dollars to make sure that our defense
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: infrastructure is not targeted by cyber attacks. And of course
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: that will be the new way in which wars are fought.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is a system that would have communicated
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: with doubleaf planes and this sort of thing. Right, the
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: number one thing if you want to bring down a
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: country right now is to attack their internet systems or
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: their banking system, which of course is all digital now
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: because cash is on the way out, et cetera. You
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: can bring a country to its knees like that exact.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: That is how wars are going to be fought. So
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: you would think this is the number one thing that
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: you would find money to spend on. No, no, no,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: we couldn't possibly do that. When we were asked to
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: send a ship up to the Red Sea to defend
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: one of the biggest trade routes in the world, Oh sorry,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: we don't have one lying around that you could possibly
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: use for that. We're talking about using birds to attack
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: drones as in enemy drones, because we don't have any
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: enemy drones of our own. We can't get drones for
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: another five years or something because we're so far behind.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Like it's not just the labor government, it should be
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: noticed the coalition before them were just as bad. We've
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: been so lax in creating defense infrastructure and personnel as
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: well that we would need if things ever go down
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: the toilet. And we are closer to global conflict or
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: certainly conflict in the Asian region with a rising China
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: than we have been in decades, and we are totally
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: up the creek without a purpose.
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: Why is it always defense announcement? So eighteen months ago
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: they get all the applaud it. They don't tell anyone
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: they've only a lot of our one hundred and fifty
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: million dollars, which is that's not even going to get
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: the project off the ground. So thanks for nothing. What
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: were you thinking? They don't care.
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: It sounds awesome. Australia thinks we're legendary. You've got to
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: be so.
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: Much safer against cybersecurity attacks, etc.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: And so on.
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: Trust us where in now where Labor and were awesome?
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: So they have the photo ops.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: Everyone applauds, being like, I can't believe we didn't have
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: this sooner. Who is that liberal government that did absolutely
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: nothing And here we are just a year and a
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: half later and they're like, oh, by the way, it's
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: not happening. Yeah, So we actually only gave it one
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: hundred and fifty million, which was never going to achieve anything,
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: not even get the stupid thing off the ground. We
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: were essentially lying to you, weren't we because we don't
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: have the money and we can't deliver on this project. Also,
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: the other option is just go into more debt. I mean,
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: we're all at eight and eighty billion dollars in debt,
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: and I'm sure, given we're all well aware of the
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: situation that Caleb just described, that's how you bring any
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: country to its knees. You knock out their internet capabilities,
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: their banking systems, all.
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: There's a lot of ways to do it.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: Game over, red Rover, I'm sure Australians would be more
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: than happy if you just whacked another seven billion onto
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: our eight hundred and eighty billion tab, which we're paying
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: millions of dollars every single day just in interest. But
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: knowing that we would then have this capability, while five
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: Eyes is telling us we are attacked almost on the
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: daily by Russian intelligence, by Chinese intelligence.
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: Cyber attacks are a dime a dozen. We don't talk.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: About it enough, obviously for intelligency reasons. They keep us
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: in the dark, and probably so we can all sleep
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: at night.
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: That's nice.
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: But this is something that is absolutely essential, and this
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: is something that you want to say you don't have
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: money for. You're in charge of the budget, reallocate funds
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: or print the money because you're so good at that.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Well, they could just run the numbers on how many
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: upgrades we need to get from Quansas to save seven
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: billion dollars somewhere in the budget, and away we go. Now,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: you might be aware of a proposal down in Victoria
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: from the Allen government to basically put up twenty story
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: towers along the Sandringham train line. Right, So, when this
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: came out of the blue a couple of weeks ago,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: people like, hang on, we haven't been consulted about this. Now,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: the Planning Minister Sonia kill Kenny, you will see in
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: this footage here standing next to the premiere, nodding along dutifully. Yes,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: she's very supportive of this. Policy. Take a look.
• 34:40
  Speaker 11: The activity centers that have been identified here on the
• 34:44
  Speaker 11: Sandringham Line is because the Sandringham Line today has the
• 34:49
  Speaker 11: capacity in terms of the number of train services that
• 34:52
  Speaker 11: run on this corridor, it has the space around these
• 34:56
  Speaker 11: train stations. It's had the upgrades in local schools and.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Kindom Brighton, Malvin Ringwood coincidentally not labor areas, but miss
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Kill Kenny, the planning minister who is now on board
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: with the high density developments in Melbourne the Herald Son
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: has found the receipts. She's not so on board with
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: high density development when it's in her own backyard and
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Nimby is miss Kill Kenny. You can see here in
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: this photograph her This was posted to Facebook on her
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: MP facebook page. You know she's got her thumbs down
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: where there would be a three story building going up. No,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: you can't have three stories in my backyard, but you
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: and Brighton you should have twenty stories going up. She
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: said in the post. It is entirely inconsistent with neighborhood character,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: the local ecology and landscape and indigenous heritage. Will set
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: a really bad precedent. Yes, three stories, it's a really
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: bad precedent. When it's in your suburb, but twenty stories
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: is okay when it's in a place that votes for
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: the Liberal Party.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: Come of the other thing she's been a part of
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: is removing the ability for local councils to do planning
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: so that residents can't really make their complaints known. But
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: back in twenty fifteen as a member of Parliament she
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: said it was imperative when you're doing developments.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: That locals are listened to.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: Quote, those best place to understand the social impacts on
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: their communities are those who live and work in them.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: And of course now as a minister, she's maneuvered local
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: councils so they don't get to.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: Reflect the voice of local residents.
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: It's amazing the difference in ministerial portfolio.
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: Mate like it.
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: It's no mystery why she's changed her tune. But MPs
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: always struggle with this, right because they want to talk
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: up these massive projects, but at the same time they
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: need to be re elected, so they don't want to
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: talk it.
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: Up in their area because.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: They know their constituents won't like that. So everywhere else
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: is fine. They're all the same, They all do the
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: exact same thing. Love the projects, desperately need housing.
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: Two thumbs up, but.
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: Not in my area because what matters to me more
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: than anything else is being re elected.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: We're going to go to a break.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: When we come back, we look at the papers, including
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: the astonishing story of the bureaucrat in charge of Dan
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: Andrews's failed quarantine program during COVID. She's now running Autralia's
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: immigration system. That's coming up in a moment.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: Welcome back. Well, as you would expect.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: Most of tomorrow's papers, being the first Tuesday in November,
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: caleber dominated by the big Race.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: Indeed, they are what a great day it is, Melbourne
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Cup Day, the race that stops a nation. We would
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: show you the Herald Sun, of course from Melbourne, where
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: the Melbourne Cup is run, but we didn't have it
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: in time, so we'll give you the second best, which
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: is of course the Advertiser where you can read my
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: column every Friday. I hope you do that. By the way,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: it says on the front of the TiSER Tomorrow Legends
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: of the Spring. Twenty one years after Nicki Hilton and
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: here's sister Paris took the Cup by storm, the fashion
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: designer is ecstatic to be back. Chipping Land legend to
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: deal the headlines at this year's blockbuster. Now, my two
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: colleagues here, being great fans of racing as they are,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: would you like to hand over your tips for the viewers?
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: What have you got for me?
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: Come on, I'm going for there's a horse I think
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: smooth Criminal. It's eight to one, and that would be
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: my tip on the second favorite.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: And you, well, that's only because I told you about
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: that horse earlier tonight. It's called one Smooth Operator. Clo, Liz,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: have you got one for us?
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: If there's a dapple gray, always bet on the dapple Gray.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Yes, all right, well I do.
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: Let's someone who actually knows about it, really really expert.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: I'll give you give.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: You a future to keep your money, because I've only
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: ever lost it listening to this man.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: Well, well, my records, my recod's been pretty good so far.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: This bring Carnival, I back the winner of the Everest,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: I back the winner of the core Field Cup, and
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: I back the winner of the Cox Plates.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: So it's only when you get it wrong that you
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: give me your.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: T That's right, that's right. I'm not doing too badly
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: at the moment to get a pen and paper here's
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: what I've got for you. Number thirteen one Smooth Operator,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: which James mentioned before, won the Geelong Cup. The four
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: all minds out of the Geelong Cup into the Melbourne Cup.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: A traditionally very good. Craig Williams on board. He is
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: in formed, it wants the distance, it's normally around the money.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: I think he's the top choice. Akita Sushi would be
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: my second line. Jamie Carr, good South Australian jockey, of course,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: is on board. It's coming up off of first at
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Mooney Valley, a second at core Field. It's run the
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: distance twice and one of course two miles thirty two
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: hundred meters and often in these races it's hard to
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: find a horse that has run the distance, so there
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: is form there. My third would be Vauban, which was
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: here last year and was widely tipped one of Willie
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Mullen's horses from over in Ireland. Now Willie Mullins is
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: yet to win the Melbourne Cup. He's come second, he's
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: come third, he's come fourth, he's come fifth, but he's
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: yet to clinch the win. If Voban is better than
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: he was last year, and he looks like he is
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: he could be in with a chance. And I'll give
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: you a real outside RUFFI the twenty Mostly Cloudy. Now
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: he's a good stay. He's totally outclassed in this field.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: But if something goes really wrong, you never know. Mostly
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: cloud he could be a chance. And so I have
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: to say this so that people don't send in complaints.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: Please gamble responsibly, will you? But it is a fantastic day,
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Melbourne Cup Day. It's the adults day of the year.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Right every other public holiday and I know it's only
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: public holiday in Victoria, but every other public holiday is
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: like a family day, right, Melbourne Cup Day is an
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: adults day. Whe if you get to go to lunch
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: and have some fun. Long may it rain the greatest
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: race in the nation.
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: Just remember, ladies and gentlemen, chances are.
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: You're about to lose.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: So it's not smooth criminal, it's smooth operator.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: One smooth opera.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: That's the one.
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: Let's go to the front page of the Newcastle Herald,
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: otherwise Capable will never stop talking about the horse racing.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: Youth Reach Boiling Point reads the headline. Almost six thousand
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: young people aged twelve to twenty four presented to emergency
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: departments for mental health problems in Hunt and New England
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two twenty three. The figure amount of
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: thirty three percent increase in the last decade. Now, the
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: article goes on to say, there are three primary reasons
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: that psychologists believe so many young people are presenting with
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: mental health issues. They are social media addiction, climate change concerns,
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: and financial pressure. But now, after studying fifty five thousand
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: cases over a seven year period, they've added to that
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: list of problems hot weather. They found that the number
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: of people presenting to mental health wards increased by one
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: point three percent for every one degree rise in daily
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: mean temperature. So especially those from sort of away from
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: the coast where they were lower socioeconomic and didn't have
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: access to air conditioning, This, apparently, according to researchers, is
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: a major problem for mental health issues.
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: I think that's just heat stroch.
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: What has that got to do with mental health issues?
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: Well, frustrated and annoyed.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: If you're already having a bad, bad time, it probably
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: does make you feel a bit worse, right, But just
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: get them some e conditions. I don't know. Look, it
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: is worrying to think if you look at the broader
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: numbers that there's been an increase in the number of
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: people presenting the middle health issues. But of course we
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: know that young people in particular have it harder than
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: they've ever had it basically. And I know people go, oh, well,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: they've had it easier than they've ever had it, But
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, they live in a world now where they
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: are connected to the world twenty four to seven all
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: the time, right, so the stuff that they are bombarded
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: with and the bullying that can come home from the
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: school yard to home and so on and so forth, like,
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: it's a far more involved world than it ever was,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: So it's no surprise that kids would struggle with that.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: And of course you've got hard economic times, which means
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: that parents are making decisions about what they can and
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: can't do for their kids and can't buy for their kids, etc.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: There's been an increase across the board in mental health issues. Unfortunately,
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: that's not going away. We go back to things we're
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: talking about before we should be investing money in. That's
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: one of them. But again it just gets ignored because
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: I know there's some sexy stuff we can talk about instead.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: This isn't sexy, but it's really important.
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: Oh it's a sad state of affairs because these guys
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: are our future as well. To the front page of
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: the Australian Capital, job for Dan's COVID bungles Chief Bureaucracy,
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: ladies and gentlemen, the one place you know you can
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: only fail upwards. A senior Victorian bureaucrat who ran Daniel
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: Andrews's controversial nineteen COVID nineteen quarantine.
• 43:37
  Speaker 5: And accommodation programs, is.
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: Now overseeing Australia's immigration system from Melbourne, after being secondered
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: from the State Labor government to Emma Cassa, who served
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: as Victoria's Quarantine commissioner.
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: We all remember how well that.
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: Went, and Deputy State Controller for the state's COVID nineteen
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: accommodation program has been put in charge of the Department
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: of Home Affairs Complex Immigration Division from outside Canberra.
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: This is the kind of thing that you read and.
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: You say to yourself, this has to be a joke.
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: This has to be a joke.
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: Anyone who has bungled that badly in any manner of
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: private business will not even be employed as the janitor
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: in the same place of business. But no, now, this
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: woman gets given a very serious, crucially important job federally
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: in an department that is currently under a lot of
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: scrutiny and meaning a lot to every single Australian.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: Are we really that surprised?
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: I mean she was given an Australia Day Award for
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: her stellar performance during COVID, So now she's been promoted
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: and is working for the federal government overseeing, as you said,
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: a much more complicated than COVID quarantine team.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: So yep, you just keep failing upwards.
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: Part of the thing.
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, the rate of failing upwards within government services
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: is incredible, right. I don't know why am I here?
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: Why did I not just go straight into the public service.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: I'd be running the show.
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: It's like Andrew Giles stuffed up Immigration and then he
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: was promoted to Skills and Training Minister.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: So you know, it just keeps on happening.
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: Lastly, before we go to a break, diggers get forty
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: thousand dollars to hang about. At least they're getting something
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: they certainly don't have the equipment they need. The Urban
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: Easy government will spend a further six hundred million to
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: try to turn around the defense's workforce crisis. Offering forty
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: K bonuses to personnel to sign on for another three years. This,
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: of course, is coming at a time where we all
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: know the personal shortfall is due to hit about five
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: thousand by July next year, because we haven't even been
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: able to keep it at replacement rate for several years now.
• 46:01
  Speaker 5: So will this work?
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: Only time will tell. But given the amount of promises
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: that are made by Defense, by our government to Defense
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: and never delivered on, I think that's another reason why
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: anyone considering signing up would be like.
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: Actually, you know what, forget it. You guys are a joke.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: Yep, I reckon, You're absolutely right, We're going to go
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: to a break.
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: When we come back, the world's fat as cat has died,
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: and scientists discover monkeys typing randomly forever would still not
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: be able to reproduce the works of Shakespeare.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: Who knew it's coming up in a moment.
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: Well, A couple of Sydney mathematicians have debunked the infinite
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: monkey theorem. This was an idea that if you left
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: monkeys to type randomly on a keyboard forever, they would
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: eventually be able to reproduce the entire works of William Shakespeare.
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: Turns out they can't, at least not with that attitude.
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: Then again, Shakespeare wasn't much good at climbing tree, so.
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: There's that as well.
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: I've got a theory, though, Caleb and Liz, if you
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: let monkeys type for five weeks randomly, that eventually reproduced
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: the Guardian.
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: Maybe that I don't know, Maybe that's not true. Maybe
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: in four weeks they could do it.
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: The mathematicians found there's only a five percent chance that
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: one monkey, if it typed NonStop forever, could reproduce the
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: word bananas. What they didn't discover was whether the monkeys
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: just aren't smart enough to do it, or whether they're
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: simply too busy running Australia. There's two things that come
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: from this. One, research grants are getting weirder.
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: How much did we spend on me?
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: Second?
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: Is it finally time to simply admit the complexity of
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: the universe and DNA really does.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: Point to, you know, intelligent design? Caleb, how how are.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: We spending money on this? Like, Okay, there's lots of
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: problems in the world, and there were a bunch of
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: scientists who woke up one morning and were like, we
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: should work out whether monkeys could actually write ShakespeRe. Yeah,
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: and then they did it. They did it like I
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: don't know. Look, do you wonder what's wrong with the
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: university system? Something deals me that this is a large
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: part of it. Now I have to tell you about
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: the world's fattest cat, Crumbs. He was rescued recently from
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: the basement of a Russian hospital where he had been
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: apparently raised on a diet of scraps, biscuits and soup.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: He weighed when they found him seventeen point two kilograms.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: He has one fat cat. They put him in a
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: fat cat camp.
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: He lost three.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: Kilos, but unfortunately he has now died. The people who
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: are looking after him at the fat cat camp said,
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: sometimes even the strongest cats cannot cope. Sometimes even the
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: best doctors, rehabilitation centers and support from people around the
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: world are not able to help. And may I say,
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: on behalf of all of us here at Sky News
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: in the late debate, that we mourn the loss of
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: Crumbs the cat, because my god, if a cat can
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: get to be that damn fat living off soup and
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: biscuits in the bottom of a hospital, he deserves to
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: have a statue made of him. As far as I'm concerned,
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: he is an everyday hero.
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: Everyday hero when at Capway seventeen kilograms. Crumbs was an
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: ironic name. That's a fantastic round since the Reader Penney
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: Show
