  Speaker 1: Lately, General Man, welcome the late.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Plays well, good evening and thanks for joining us.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: I'm James Macpherson with Lizstawra and Caleb Bond coming up.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump has called Kamala Harris mentally disabled. It's got
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: the media furists, but public don't seem to mind. Will
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: show you the amazing reception he got at a sporting
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: event overnight. Plus, when we get to the papers, the
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: mayor of Alice Springs has taken on a second job
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: in order to pay the bills, and Australia's largest Lebanese
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Muslim association has called into question Penny Wong's fitness as
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Foreign Minister. All of that when we look at what's
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: making news tomorrow. But first, a new report has warned
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: warned that the British Army would literally run out of
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: soldiers if they were forced to fight a war with
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: similar to casualty rates to the war in Ukraine. The
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: House of Lord's Reports says civilians need to be ready
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: to fight because Britain's military, with just seventy five thousand,
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty six regular troops, is simply too small.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: They made a number of recommendations under the heading Army
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: size and readiness.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: The House of Lord's Reports said, while size.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Is not the only measure of capability, the committee is
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: concerned that the British Army cannot as currently constituted, make
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: the expected troop contribution to NATO or sustain prolonged conflict.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: The Committee calls on the government to address recruitment and
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: retention challenges and reinvigorate the reserves to.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Help build up numbers.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Calablizs as we're reading this this afternoon, it becomes evident
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: that this is not a problem unique to the British military.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: This problem is being experienced right around the western world.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: There was a report in June that the Australian forces
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: at a minimum requires sixty nine thousand troops. We've reached
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: just eighty percent of that recruitment target. And of course
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: the federal government recently announced they would allow non citizens
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: to serve in the Australian Defense Forces for the first time.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: And I think there's numbers of reasons for this. I've
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: come up with five. I'll give you three and you
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: can ask for the other two later if you like
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: the first three. But firstly, national identity is continually under
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: attack in the West, and whether it's a diminishing love
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: of country, you're always going to have a diminishing number
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: of people willing to fight for their country.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Why would you fight for a country you're told is.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Racist, sexist, illegitimate and then oppressor. Third, immigration, I think
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: is a major issue, especially as it pertains to multiculturalism.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: We've seen protests on the streets of Melbourne and Sydney
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: this week where you honestly start to wonder, are there
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: people who, yes, they live in this country, but their
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: loyalties like elsewhere, and those loyalties would be tested in
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: the event of conflict. And I'll give you one more.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Western nations now are so committed to a welfare state,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: and a welfare state consumes resources that could otherwise be
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: used and are badly needed when it comes to having
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: a defense force that's capable of being a deterrent. As
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: I said, I've got two more, But let me stop talking.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: What do you think a good idea?
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: Look, I will say, though you want to talk about
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: welfare state. If you're looking for an opportunity to get
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: free health care, a roof over your head, you're a
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: young man looking for something to do. The defense force
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: is actually a really good place to go. They look
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: after you really well in terms of that sort of stuff.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: And the problem, of course is that if you're looking
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: for people to sign up to the ADIR for the
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: force in Britain or any other country, you know, you're
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: not looking for forty five year olds.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: You're looking for young people.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: I was going to say young men, but of course
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: they don't just look for young men anymore. They want
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: young men and women. But you're looking for young people,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: and it is young people in particular who feel the
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: least likely to go and defend their country because their
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: brains have been infected with all of this anti Australian,
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: anti British, anti Western sentiment. I mean, the IPA here
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: in Australia did a survey a couple of weeks ago
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: that found that of eighteen to twenty four year olds,
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: if Australia was in a similar situation to Ukraine, so
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: you've been invaded and you are at war, only twenty
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: seven percent of eighteen to twenty four year old said
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: that they would stay and fight. Forty eight percent, nearly
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: half of young Australians said they would flee the country.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's how much national pride young Australians have
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: because they're continually told that you're living on stolen land
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: and it's illegitimate and where racist, and on and on
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: it goes, and who cares because climate change is going
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: to cook us all anyway, So what's the point in
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: defending what is right? In order to defend your country,
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: you have to not only believe in the land on
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: which you live, you have to believe in the culture
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: that you would be asked to defend, and that simply
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: doesn't exist anymore. So why they can't be surprised that
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: people aren't signing up to the defense force. Because if
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: you don't agree with, you don't believe in the ideals
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: of your country, then what is there left to defend?
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: And I think immigration is a really strong point here,
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: because especially in England, they have what for years now
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: the country be overrun by illegals or legals and increasingly
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: don't even recognize England as England anymore. I was just
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: astonished by these numbers, because we're talking about a country
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: who has twice our populations fifty six million people in
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: England alone, and yet we're told by this report the
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: British Army is seventy five thousand, one hundred and sixty
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: six regular troops. Is that all They've got one hundred
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: and eighty three thousand on top of that, But then
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: you're counting literally the ADMIN teams and it notes that
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: only eighty thousand of this number in total would be
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: frontline combat boots on the ground type troops. So when
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: we're looking at the tenuous geopolitical situation that we're in
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: on more than one front, this is hair raising and
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: the fact that not only Australia but the UK this
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: is no better.
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: In America, trust me, they are also looking at terrible.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: Numbers in terms of recruitment, in terms of retainment in
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: their military right across, whether you're talking air Force, Navy,
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: or army, and you're wondering, how could you have let
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: it get this bad while pushing out all these kinds
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: of policies and kind of directives from the top that
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: do insinuate that, yes, this isn't a nation worth fighting for.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: We're seeing it in our very own top brass. We're
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: seeing it throughout the institutions.
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: Like you say, the kids are like, well, why would
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: I fight for this place?
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: It's increasingly not looking like the country that I thought
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: I was being brought up in any way, and we're
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: being told that we're some colonious power that's got everything
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: to apologize for.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: And if you defend your country, you then end up
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: being slandered as some sort of war criminal.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: In the media is a.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Report written by the ADF saying that you should have
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: your medals taken away.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, why would you put yourself up for that.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: If everything that happens at war, and we know the
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: fog of war is real, is going to be examined
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: with a fine tooth comb so someone can find fault
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: with you. I mean, the Vladimir Putins and the Jiji
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: Pings of the world must laugh when they wake up
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: every morning looking at the Western world, going look, because
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: they have authoritarian countries, which necessarily mean that you have
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: will have a much larger army because people are indoctrinated
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: the thing that they live in the best country in
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: the world.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: That's the way it works.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: There's no other way to disseminate information that would say
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: that you're living in a bad country.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: But they go look at the West.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: They are literally killing themselves every single day while our
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: armies grow bigger hooray for us.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: The teeth they say we still have seventy at least
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: seventy five more genders than there.
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: I'm sure they're really worried on that.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Pronouns are a weapon. We would absolutely blitch any war.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: You raise a great point, and that is our national
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: broadcaster is continually belitting our defense forces, even to the
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: point where recently they've been accused of doctoring video to
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: show our soldiers in a bad light. That's hardly going
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: to encourage anybody to fight. I watched the ABC report
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: of the protests yesterday, and honestly, you would never have
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: known that the Israelis killed a terrorist. You would have
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: thought he was some amazing humanitarian. And then on top
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: of that, trusting government is at an all time low.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: And if you're going to go to war, if you're
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: going to send your kids to war, you want to
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: trust that the people making the decisions have got your
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: best interests at heart. But instead they're trying to suppress
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: our free speech. And finally, to your question, Liz, how
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: do we get here? I think we've had a few
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: decades of peace and prosperity where war was the last
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: thing on our minds and it's allowed all these luxury
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: beliefs that only now we're realizing have completely undermined the
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: entire nation. And if ever we were in a tight spot,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: we suddenly don't have the wherewith to defend ourselves.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and the people in charge of making sure that
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: this never happened of just let it happen on mass
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: This is across the West.
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: These are the militaries.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: That should anything go wrong, We're all very much relying
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: on to the States now where we know here when it.
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: Comes to the war on free speech.
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: We've got our e Safety Commissioner, a world first yae
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: Go Australia. We've got a pending bill combating miss and disinformation.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: We've also got another pending bill focusing on hate speech.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: I was about to say free speech. Wow, that's an
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: oxymoll one. But these guys are pumping out this kind
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: of legislation that is designed to limit what you and
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: I can and can't say in our everyday lives as
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: well as online. We make fun of the Scotland's hate
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: speech laws.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: How ridiculous that is.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: You can go to jail for up to seven years
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: for saying the wrong thing.
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: Then there's the UK who.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: So similarly belieged obsess with this last year alone carried
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: out over three thousand arrests just of everyday citizens who
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: posted something naughty on their social media. Well, in the States.
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: It's a little bit of a problem for them.
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: They can't just pass legislation cracking down on free speech
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: because they've got an entire Bill of Rights that was
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: designed to ensure that tyrannical governments simply couldn't do that.
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: They've also got this pesky little thing called the Constitution,
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: in which the First Amendment says that Congress can make
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: no law that a bridges rites to free speech or
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: in the press. And this is a very real problem
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: for a budding tyrannical government who very much wants to
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: be the arbiter of truth. Here's John Kerry. He's talking
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: at a World Economic Forum pow Wow recently and talking
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: about in terms of climate change. He is the US
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: Special Presidential Envoy for Climate They just keep making up
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: these new titles. So he's there in that capacity, and
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: he's saying, what a bomber it is that free speech
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: is so protected in the US, because it's posing a
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: real problem.
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: But look, if people go to only one source and
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: the source they go to is sick and you know,
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: as an agenda, and they're putting out disinformation. Our First
• 11:32
  Speaker 7: Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: be able to just hammer it out of existence. So
• 11:39
  Speaker 7: what you need, what we need is to is to
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: win the ground, win the right to govern by hopefully
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: having winning enough votes that you're free to be able
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: to implement change. Democracies around the world now are struggling
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: with the absence of a sort of truth arbiter, and
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: there's no one who defines what the facts really are.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: This guy is literally the Secretary of State. Wanted to
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: make sure I got his former title right, and there
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: he is saying he really wants to violate the Constitution
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: basically because their trillion dollar media empire is being bought
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: low by cat memes and people being able to trade
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: information freely on not only social media platforms, but any
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: other mechanism that free individuals in the United States can utilize.
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: You here him talking there about you know, there's so
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: many places people can go to for their own facts
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: and figures, and how terrible that is.
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: And so we need to be able to win.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: The right to crack down on this. They're not even
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: hiding anymore. They are telling you what they intend to do.
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: And we all know that even though they can't pass
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: legislation in the States like they can here sadly to
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: make that happen for themselves. We all know that the
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: censorship is already well and truly alive in America. We've
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: had Zuckerberg admit that he basically paid played his part
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: last election.
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: We'd be very naive to believe.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: His then promises that that was never going to happen again,
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: and he was back a change. There's a chase, the
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: Russell brand of social media. This would never happen in
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: this day and age, but these these people who are
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: in charge are making it more and more obvious. This
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: is fully what we intend to do. This is our agenda,
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: and we're going to get there one way, if not
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: one way another.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: We also complained that it's really really hard to govern
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: today because you know, people are able to question readily
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: what we're doing.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: It's terrible.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: That's the point of democracy, Boddy. Represent Entitive democracy is
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: where we the people elect you to represent us and
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: do what we ask you to do. If we're then
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: questioning what you do, whether that be in four years
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: time at an election, or in the meantime in the
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: letters to the editor, or on Facebook or ex or
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: what other social media platform you want to use.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: That is part of the job. I mean, imagine sitting.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's just so hard to be in government now.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: This is terrible because people are questioning what I am saying.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: When you hear a politician or a bureaucrat open their
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: mouth and say, we lack a truth.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Arbiter, and that is a problem.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: What they mean is we lack someone who can tell
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: you that what we want you to think is the
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: truth and not what is actually the truth. The problem
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: for them is that information is at people's fingertips like
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: it never has been before, ever since the advent of
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: the Internet in people's homes, and of course then since
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: things like smartphones have become common and whatever. You know,
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: you can look something up anytime of day or night
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: wherever you are. If a politician says something, you can
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: fact check it in real time.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: That is what they hate and what they want to
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: fart against.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like you, I felt very sorry for John Kerey
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: watching him there pour out his heart about how difficult
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: it is to be an elite in this globalized world
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: because it's just so difficult to control people.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: That the arrogance.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, he literally said, the only problem we have
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: is the US Constitution.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: If only we can get rid of that.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: To just come out openly and say that just demonstrates
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: how bold they have become and how confident they are
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: that they can keep pushing this stuff through and nothing
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: will stop them. For him to insist we need a
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: referee who can determine what.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: The facts are.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: And I'm wondering who would he have in mind for
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: ref Would it be Liz, Would it be Caleb.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think he's got John Kerry.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I think it would be one of them.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: So they imagine this dystopian world in which a select
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: group of elite select the news outlets which they control,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: from which you're allowed to source the facts while suppressing
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: everybody else. And if only we could have that, then
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: the world would just be fine. But you've got to
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: keep in mind this the real threat to democracy. It's
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump, which.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Is the absolute craziness of this.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: They keep saying Trump while sprouting stuff.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Like the US Constitution is the biggest problem.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: He also said it is part of our problem, particularly
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: in democracies, in terms of building consensus around any issue.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's lamenting the fact that they actually live
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: in a democracy. We can't get a consensus because in
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: this bloody democracy thing, people are coming up with different ideas.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: How dare they if only we had a dictatorship.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: As Secretary of Seysier, he did one too many trips
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: to Beijing, I reckon this.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Indeed, you've got a few too many good ideas.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: Indeed, and you mentioned there Trump being a threat to democracy,
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: which is because we keep hearing this rhetoric. We heard
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: it from Biden, We've heard it from Kamala Harris, you
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: hear it from basically anyone who doesn't like Donald Trump.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: And that is probably part of what has led to
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: at least two people now trying to kill Donald Trump
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: since he restarted his campaign to be the forty seventh
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: president of the United States. Well Elon Musk, the proprietor
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: of X amongst other things, has taken to his platform
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: to point out that it's not actually Donald Trump who
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: is the threat to democracy. It is the Democrats themselves.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: You'd think, you know, they're called the Democrats, so they'd
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: be all on board with democracy. But we just heard
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: from John Kerry that he doesn't like the system very
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: much because it.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Means that people fact check him.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: But Elon Musk has pointed out on x that very
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: few Americans realize that if Trump is not elected, this
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: will be the last election. Now he is using some
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: hyperbole here, but let him continue. He says, far from
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: being a threat to democracy, he is the only way
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: to save it.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Let me explain.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: If even one in twenty illegals become citizens per year,
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: something that the Democrats are expediting as fast as humanly possible,
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: that would be about two million new legal voters in
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: four years. The voting margin in swing states is often
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: less than twenty thousand votes, so that means if the
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: Democratic quote unquote party succeeds, then there will be no
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: more swing states. Moreover, the Biden Harris administration has been
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: flying asylum seekers who are fast tracked to citizenship directly
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: into swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Arizona. It
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: is a sure fire away to win every election. America
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: then becomes a one party state and democracy is over.
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: The only elections will be the Democratic Party primaries. This
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: already happened in California many years ago following the nineteen
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: eighty six amnesty. The only thing holding California back from
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: extreme socialism and suffocating government policies is that people can
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: leave California and still remain in America. Once the whole
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: country is controlled by one party, there will be no escape.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: Everywhere in America will be like the nightmare that is
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: downtown San Francisco. And we know this is exactly why
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: more than six million people have been allowed to pour
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: over the border illegally, the southern ten million now from
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: Mexico under the Biden Harris administration all the while, and
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: we'll get to this soon. But of course Harris is
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: now saying, oh, I'm going to be tough on the border,
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: and they've been pretending.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, you know, we're going to do something about it.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: We're going to do so were the borders are.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: The whole point has been to get people into America
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: who eventually the Democrats can turn into citizens. And then well,
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: who are you going to vote for? The people who
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: allowed you into the country or the people who didn't
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: want to let you in in the first place. It
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: is so obvious, and Musk has just turned the debate
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: around said, well, look, you keep talking about threats to democracy.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: Let's talk about what you're trying to pull off here,
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: and he illustrates it brilliantly.
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: And the truth of the matter is it's actually going
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: to happen a lot faster than that, because, as we've
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: covered on this show and others before, these illegals can already.
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: Register to vote. Who is the time of the admin
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: power to vet them all?
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: You can simply go sign up to vote and then yes,
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: on polling day, actually cast your vote. And it gets worse.
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: Carmala's Department of Justice, the joke is in the name,
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: is pursuing Alabama for taking over three thousand people off
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: their voter registration polls. Why because these people were found.
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: To be illegals.
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: They were issued non citizen identification numbers by the Department.
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: Of Homeland Security.
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: You guys aren't legals. You cannot vote in the up
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: and coming election. And now the DOJ is suing Alabama
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: for doing this.
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: Now they say.
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: It's because you're not supposed to do this less than
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: ninety days out to an election, and that ship has sailed.
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: But surely a Department of Justice worth a pinch of
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: salt would say, look, you're a few days short, but
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: these people are illegals. We don't want them voting in
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: these elections.
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: Instead, we literally have.
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: An outright admission these guys are trying to cheat.
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: That is what this looks like.
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: Why would a Department of Justice now go after a
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: state for cleaning up their voter registrations. And let's be
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: clear here, Obama is a dead red state like Alabama.
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: That's who they are, it's what they do it to
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: make They're a famously redneck state. Why would you even
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: bother prosecuting these guys for this unless you're probably trying
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: to send a message to others.
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: But this is a government who clearly wants.
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: To keep illegals on the voter rolls, and they're doing
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: nothing to hide it.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense, does it.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: They say, on the one hand, non citizens won't vote,
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: so you've got nothing to worry about, and on the
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: other hand, we're going to sue to make sure non citizens.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Stay on the electoral role.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: So clearly there's mixed messages there. As you said, it
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: was only six days they were out in terms of
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: cleaning up and the law. As I understand is to
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: design to stop a mass clean up of the electoral role.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: This is less than three thousand names, and it would likely.
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: Just go over three thousand, two hundred and.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Presuming not every single one of those is illegal once
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: they sought it through.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: So it's a small number of people.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: And for electoral integrity, especially when there's been debates about
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: you know, was it legitimate the last election and so on,
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: you'd think they would do everything they possibly can to
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: make sure there is no argument.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: You know, when they talk.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: About January six and they want to make sure that
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: there's a smooth handover of power, Well, why wouldn't you
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: when you're in power, and if you're confident that your
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: candidate is the best person, why would you not go
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: to every length possible to make sure the process is
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: squeaky clean and that after November is going to be
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: a peaceful transfer of power and you won't end up
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: in the courts or with something worse.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, Alabama may will have missed the
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: legal deadline by five or six days. Just let that
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: go through to the keeper in the interests of maintaining
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: the veracity of the election, right, I mean, crimes are
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: committed every single day that are never prosecuted because it
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: just wouldn't be worth a police or the DPP's time
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: actually going through with it, because they've got bigger fish
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: to fry. So this was absolutely at the discretion of
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: the Department of Justice.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: They didn't have to follow this up.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: They're not duty bound to do so, but they have
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: done it because they want to send the shot across
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: the bow to anyone else who might dare to now
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: go and try and clean up.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Their voter roles.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: And I mean being to say the Assistant Attorney General,
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: Kristen Clark said, the right to vote is one of
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: the most sacred rights in our democracy. As election day approaches,
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: it is critical that Alabama redress voter confusion resulting from
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: its list maintenance mailing scent in violation of federal law.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: You know, it's our most sacred right to vote. And
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: she then goes on about voter confusion. Okay, so if
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: you are on the electoral role but you're not actually
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: legally allowed to be on the electoral role, I'm not
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: sure it's really voter confusion.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: It's frauds. A confusion, is what it is. But they
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: are just so boord faced in attempting.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: We're not even attempting, just doing what they want to
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: do here, which is to get as many possible Democrat
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: voters on the electoral role as possible by any means necessary.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: And they don't care what it does to the electoral
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: systems integrity, but nor do they care what it does
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: to the country. Immigration and Customs Enforcement released figures over
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: the weekend showing that six hundred and sixty two thousand,
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: five hundred and sixty six people with criminal convictions, six
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: hundred thousand people have been admitted into the US, sixty
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: two thousand people with assault convictions, fifty six thousand with
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: drug offenses, fifteen thousand people with sexual assault offenses, fourteen
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: thousand burglars, thirteen thousand people with homicide convictions had been
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: allowed into the US. And clearly this is being done
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: to help the Democrat at the next election, who cares
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: what it does to the fabric of American society. And
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: of course, the great irony on top of all we've
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: just talked about is Kamala Harris is now repositioning herself
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: to be the one.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: To save the day and to secure the border and.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: Make sure everything is going to be okay, despite the
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: fact she's been in charge for the last three and
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: a half years and done absolutely nothing, but the rebranding
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: of Kamala continues apace. She recently released a tweet, how's
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: this for gas lighting the American public? As Attorney General
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: of California, I prosecuted transnational criminal organizations that trafficked guns, drugs,
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: and human beings. I know the importance of safety and security,
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: especially at our border. She could have added in brackets,
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: which is why I allowed thirteen thousand murderers into the country,
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: but she continued, today, I love this. Today I visited
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: the US Mexico border. Hasn't been there much while she's
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: been Vice president of time. Yeah, with an election looming,
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: she visited and spoke with Customs and Border Protection officials
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: about our progress to secure our border and disrupt the
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: flow of a legal fentanyl into our nation. And I
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: can tell you the Border patrol officials were so thankful
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: for her visit, so encouraged by it, and they are
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: full of optimism that this represents a.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: New day for the United States, as.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: Represented by this tweet from the Border Patrol Union.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Her going to go look at this. This is their response.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Vice president Harris has ignored the border problem she created
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: for over three years. She goes down there for twenty
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: minutes for a photo op and decides to repeat some
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: of the things the NPBC has said before. But again,
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: where she been for the last three and a half years.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: Kamala Harris is almost is repositioning herself as the challenger.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: In fact, her running mate Tim Waltz said the other day,
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: we can't have another four years of this, which was
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: a Freudian slip, of course, because the last four years
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: has been Kamala Harris.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: It's almost like he's running against herself.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: Well, Trump has joked, I've got to get this woman
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: a maga hat because she's now just copying from my playbook.
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: She's going to be strong on the border all of
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: a sudden.
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: Unbelievable.
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: But again, the Border Union weren't having a bar of
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: this nonsense from Kamala Today in another tweet, they said,
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: we have apprehended over eight million illegal immigrants over the
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: last four years, and now you realize we need by help.
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: Thirty days thirty eight.
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: Days before the election. So they're making it very well known.
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: We have been frustrated for years. We have begged you
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: for more resources. You have facilitated this invasion by design.
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: This is not our fault.
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: And don't you dare come down here at two minutes
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: to midnight in your election campaign bid and make everyone think.
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: That, oh you're going to turn it around now.
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: Now your care thirty eight days out to an election.
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: Now you're saying, oh, yeah, this is my number one issue.
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: Do me a favor. Meanwhile, her do oj one state
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: for just being like, hey, we've just.
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: Knocked about three than two hundred illegals of our voter
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: registration and they're like nope, not having any of it
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: with one of those jebs.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: To tell here is that she's running as.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: The former attorney general of California, which she finished that
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: job in twenty seventeen, and she's not running on her
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: most recent role as vice president.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: And the borders are, by the way, during her term.
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: She visited one Sarena Cayleeb.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: Yes, good point, good point, but you know she visited
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: once until now, I mean this is her second visit
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: to the border.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: She'd visited the border once.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: As borders are when we know that people were sent
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: in to clean up the borders, so it didn't look
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: like there were so many illegal migrants hanging around the joint.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: And of course part of her thing now is that
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: she said she would bring back the formerly failed border bill,
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: and part of that border bill was to recommence the
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: construction of the wall.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: The wall that.
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: She had previously said was an American that she said
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: was nonsense, that she had not support.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Now she's saying build the wall, and I had to laugh.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: I should have thought of this earlier so we could
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: actually bring you the clip. But I played it on
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: the US Report on Friday. The Energy Secretary in the
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: US being asked if it was, of course a Democrat,
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: being so Kamala previously was not in support of the wall,
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: said it was an American. Now she's saying she's going
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: to continue building the wall.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: How is it any different?
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: And the Energy Secretary said, well, Donald Trump's version of
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: the wall was nonsense.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Basically, We're going to build it properly.
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: I mean, a wall is a wall, like it's a
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: little bit of a border or of fence or whatever
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: it is to stop people crossing a border. But the
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: Democrats are going to build it biglier and better. And
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: the other thing, of course, to her, remember is that
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: Texas when they tried to put up yes their own fences,
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: barbed wire fences to stop people from crossing from Mexico
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: into Texas, the Biden administration went to court to force
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: them to take the fences down. And now we meant
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: to believe that Harris actually wants to keep building the wall.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: And when she went down to visit the other day,
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: she was wearing this necklace that is widely believed to
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: be a sixty four thousand US dollar Tiffany necklace.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's what you'd wear to.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: Go and visit the sun trying to give the illegals
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: a vision of what's possible.
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: I know, you like me can move into a middle
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: class neighborhood with people who really care about their lawn
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: and one day, despite the fact that you can't get
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: three words out straight, end up with a sixty four
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: grand Tiffany necklace and be in the running for presents.
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: The worst part is they know that they can do this. Now.
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: The Dems can suddenly pretend and make all these ridiculous
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: promises about building a wall and being just as tough
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: illegal immigration as that Trump campaign is promising to be,
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: because they know the damage is already done. As further
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: story the tweet we just read you from Elon Musk
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: crunching the numbers, the damage has already done. You've got
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: over ten million illegals that have flooded into the country,
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: many of them directly into key swing states. These guys
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: have already short up their future success and now now
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: they can say no, no, we genuinely will be tough
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: on the border.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: On her claim that you know, as prosecutor, I prosecuted
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: all these illegals, well, she was only able to prosecute
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: illegals because someone provided the resources and the policy for
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: law enforcement to do their job. So she shouldn't get
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: any credit for that either.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: Well, they used to call her Kamala the Coop, and
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: then that all sort of disappeared when she went off
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: to be a rep. And now she's tough on the
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: border again. Good luck to you, Good luck to you.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: While we're talking about Kamala Harris, Sir, her husband Doug
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: im Hoff, of course, is often seen standing behind her.
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: He does his dues and just sort of, you know,
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: looks like he's the handbag, which is his role of
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: course in this situation. But he fronted up for an
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: interview with Jen Saki, who you might remember was a
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: former speaking Doctors White House spin doctor for Joe Biden.
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: She is now on American television and she's interviewing Doug
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: asking him, you know, you potentially.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Being the first first.
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: Man of the United States and the first second man
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: of the United States, you are reshaping masculinity.
• 32:39
  Speaker 8: Important part of an interesting part of how people have
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: talked about your role here is how your role has
• 32:44
  Speaker 8: reshaped the perception of masculinity. And I'm not sure you've
• 32:47
  Speaker 8: planned on that, but you are an incredibly supportive spouse.
• 32:51
  Speaker 8: Has that been an evolution for you? And do you
• 32:53
  Speaker 8: think that's part of the role you might play as
• 32:56
  Speaker 8: first Gentleman's funny.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: I've started to think a lot about this. I've always
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: been like this. My dad was like this. Your dad
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: was like what what does he mean?
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: My dad was like this newsflash, man supports wife, it's
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: breaking news.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Can you believe he's doing it?
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: But he may well actually be reshaping masculinity When you
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: look at some of the blokes who are supporting Kamala Harris.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Do.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: You remember the day you lost your dignity when you
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: filmed that?
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: To put it up on TikTok or wherever it goes.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: What are you sitting around at night?
• 33:42
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: I think I'm reshaping masculinity is the potential?
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: First jed, what does he want to be?
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: In response to that interimate, someone wrote on social media,
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: if any man is influenced by this guy, then they
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: weren't a man.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: To begin with.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: I thought it was very good, but I mean, the
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: Democrats can't tell you what a woman is.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: So how do they know what a man?
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: In this way to be able to redefine masculinity.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: There was a lot of Feta energy there in that interview.
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: Very strong, very strong vibes in an American first, now
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: staying in America, and some good news for humanity. In
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: my humble opinion, this is how we win in an
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: American first. Young men are now more religious than young women.
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: Check this out.
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: A quote from the New York Times says, for the
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: first time in modern American history, young men are now
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: more religious than their female peers. They attend services more
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: often and are more likely to identify as religious. Another
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: article puts it thus, gen Z men pour into church
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: pews more often than women, flipping the trend on faith.
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: What's the Lord doing well, whatever's happening?
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: More of this, please.
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: Because as we've discussed with these young men, this phenomenon
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: of young men being drawn to Islam and these really
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: hardcore faiths, it seems the same is happening with Christianity
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: here in this society, in this day and age that
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: we've created in the West, where everything is identity less,
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: your religion is meaningless, it's all just a pile of nonsense.
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: Your gender can change on a whim.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: Family, patriotism, nationalism, everything's.
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: Been thrown out the window.
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: Young people are going looking for meaning purpose in their lives,
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: and the more they turn to the religion, so much
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: the better.
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: I say.
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: Well, it's interesting though, because it's young men going to
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: church as opposed to young women. Women are turning away
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: from the church. So the Good Lord is baggering things
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: up a little bit before we all's chairs.
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: No, no, we don't know that that's happening. We just
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: know now that there's more men than they used to be.
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: So it doesn't suggest that they.
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: Say suggest the reporting is saying that there is a
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: decrease in women going to church and an increase in
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: men going to church. I think it's least about the
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: religion itself. It's about the fact that as a culture
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: we have demonized men and masculinity to the point where
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: young men in particular feel raddleus and they're looking for
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: something to hold on to because in a world that
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: now tells them that their place in the world as
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: a man is invalid, that somehow inherently as part of
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: being a man, they're probably going to want to beat
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: their future partner that everything that makes them a man,
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: their strength, their want to protect family and country, etc.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Is bad.
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: They need to find something to anchor themselves to. I
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: suspect that is why young men in particular would be
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: flocking to religion, because in the absence of anything else,
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: they're very being being challenged.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: They need something to believe.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: I think that's definitely true.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: Popular culture basically teaches young men that they are effeminate,
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: weak and immature and keeps them that way, and they're
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: discovering the Bible actually upholds the value of women and men,
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: and the Bible actually celebrates the differences between the two
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: whilst admit that both are equally made in the image
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: of God.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: The other thing I think that is appealing.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: To young men, and I've spoken to a lot of
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: people in media and politics lately who say we've started
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: going to church for the first time, and when I
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: ask them why, they say, because over the last number
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: of years, we've realized evil is real and we are
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: convinced maybe there is more to this world than what
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: we're seeing with it, and so we're open to spiritual things.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: And I think young men in particular, I'm looking at
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: what's happening in the world right now and thinking, you
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: know what, I'm open to exploring and understanding if there's
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: something more going on and that I think is probably
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: contributing as well.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: We're going to go to a break. When we come back, we'll.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: Look at what's making news tomorrow, including the mayor of
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: Alice Springs has taken on a part time second job
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: in order to pay the bills that's.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Coming up in just a moment. Welcome back.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: Let's take a look at what's making news tomorrow. We'll
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: start with the Courier mail who are counting down Caleb
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: to the state election.
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: Indeed, as are most queenslander Is because they can't get
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: away to get rid of that giggling little bugger on
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: the front of the paper. There. Yeah, but they say
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: tomorrow first strike medi Scare countdown begins with union's fear
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: campaign over health privatization. Gee, where have we heard this
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: one before? Around Hollensland's largest union has launched a medi
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: scare style campaign that falsely claims the LNP plans to
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: privatize health services. Ahead of Premier Stephen Miles firing the
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: starter's gun on the official election campaign today with twenty
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: five days to go, I mean, you know, the desperation
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: to pull out medi scare again, which, of course Bill
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: Shorten tried on back in twenty nineteen. He then ended
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: up losing the unlosable election. It may have had nothing
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: to do with medi Scare. But like truth in advertising,
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: and we talk about misinformation and disinformation laws that the
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: federal government wants to include, they're not going to come
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: after political speech or political.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Campaigns, are they.
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: So you can go around saying that your opposition candidate
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: killed their dog and whatever else, and there's no repercussions
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: for that whatsoever. But of course if you go on
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: social media and say something, you're in the firing line.
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: I mean, while you can spell they're going to privatize
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: all the medical services.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: It's rubbish.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: The poles are so bad their electoral strategy, clearly from
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: this point is just throw as much mud against the
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: wall as they possibly can and if some of it sticks, well,
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: good luck to them. Because before it was Madi scared.
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: Do you remember last week? I think it was that
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: they were warning the LNP are going to ban abortion,
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: women's rights are going to be trashed, and the l
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: ANDP have never suggested doing any such thing. Now they
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: do have numbers of MPs who are pro life, but
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: they haven't put forward as a policy position to end abortion.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: It's just more mud against the wall.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: That's all Steven Miles has pretty much got at this point.
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: Indeed, and in the same article in which that's featured,
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: there's a direct reprieve from Chris A. Fooley saying no
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: such thing is going to be happening, much like this
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: article in The Career mal which says that these claims
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: are baseless. There's an advertising blitz on social media that
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: the LMP is planning to privatize health services.
• 40:04
  Speaker 6: It's completely bases.
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: As Rod's Bates, the opposition Health Minister has pointed out,
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: Labor and the unions can't even get their scare campaigns straight,
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: so you're quite right. They're genuinely just making up whatever's
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: going to make headlines, scare enough ignorant Queenslanders into voting
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: labor at the polls, and it's just a bunch of lives.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: I reckon Queenslanders would be happy with this new strategy
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: from the Males government because go back a couple of
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: weeks prior to all of this and they were just
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: throwing money left, right and center. So better throw mud
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: than money, because that's cheaper for taxpayers. Let's go to
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: the Northern Territory News where the headline reads pay pressure,
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: wage review push as Northern Territory mayor takes on a
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: second job. Sure, I don't think that's a bad idea
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: for our federal politicians. Imagine if they all had second
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: jobs where they had to actually go and do real working.
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: Around at Bunny that's in Aisle five.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, anyway, the article reads, after revelations Ali Springs mayor
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: has taken on a second job, questions around the low
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: wages of mayors and councilors in the Northern Territory have
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: been raised.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: There's calls now for how lack of.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: Benefits for elected members meant the sector would struggle to
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: attract good candidates. Now, Matt Patterson is the al Springs mayor.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: He's been the mayor since twenty twenty one, when he
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: was elected at age thirty. He's an electrician by trade,
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: so I am imagining he's doing some some cashies jobs
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: as a sparky. The mayor's wage at twenty twenty two
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty three was eighty seven six hundred dollars. It's
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: not a great wage, So look after the mayor if
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: you're going to be the mayor of Alice Springs, given
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: the money to do the job, so he doesn't have
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: the moonlight fixing people's fuses.
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: It's not unprecedented for mayors to also have other jobs.
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: I know when I was covering councils in Adelaide that
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: there were a few mayors that did have other jobs,
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: including in the public service, that were quite well paid.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: So you got your little top up on top of
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: that and how bad we.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: All the problems in Alice Spring But yeah, yeah.
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: Like it's it's a hands on job being the air
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: of Alice Springs. And if you're just an ordinary counselor
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: in Alice Springs and you know, far be from me
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: usually to say that councilors deserve anything, but just as
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: an ordinary counselor. In twenty twenty two to twenty three
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: it was fifteen thousand, seven hundred dollars. And you know,
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: and that is like you, as a councilor, you are
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: working full time in another job anyway, unless you're retired
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: or a stay at.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: Home or whatever it is.
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: But to then get fifteen grand to do all the
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: stuff that you have to do as a counselor, sending
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: mail outs to residents, doing all the stuff that you've
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: got to do, that is not a lot of money.
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: If you want them to be hands on, you do
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: actually have to pay them to be hands on. And
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: that's why I like the system they have in Queensland
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: where they have much larger councilors.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: I mean the Brisbane Council. It covers pretty much, yeah,
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: it's covers pretty much all of Greater Brisbane. It's got
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: more than a million people in it.
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: Consequently, it has the money and wherewithal to run the
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: public transport system up there as opposed to the state government.
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: And the counselors are on about two hundred grand a
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: year and they work full time, they have portfolios, They
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: actually look after stuff and do stuff, rather than the
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: piddly stuff that we expect counselors to do across the
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: rest of the country.
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: At the front page of the Canberra Times and we
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: learn yet more about the fact that our government is
• 43:30
  Speaker 5: not about transparency at all.
• 43:32
  Speaker 6: Gag clauses on rise.
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: The splash reads lawyers and alleged victims of workplace bullying
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: and abuse in the public sector.
• 43:41
  Speaker 6: So the Commonwealth is.
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: Using confidentiality clauses to silence those who have been mistreated
• 43:47
  Speaker 5: Gordon Legal, head of Industrial Law Marcus Clayton, who runs
• 43:52
  Speaker 5: employment law cases for victims of bullying, sexual assault and
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: harassment in the public and private sectors, said it was
• 43:59
  Speaker 5: quote very common end quote for Commonwealth employers to insert
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: secrecy clauses in settlement agreements. He goes on to say
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: the effect of the two together he's talking about also
• 44:14
  Speaker 5: separately a non disparagement clause, the effect of the two
• 44:18
  Speaker 5: together is to gag to silence the complainant. I thought
• 44:23
  Speaker 5: they were all about transparency. I thought someone who had
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: suffered bullying and sexual harassment while on the taxpayer dime
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: and employed by somebody else on the taxpayer dime would
• 44:35
  Speaker 5: be able to tell their story.
• 44:37
  Speaker 6: So we can ferret this out and all be.
• 44:40
  Speaker 5: Rightly outraged and stand by the victims. No, no, just
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: gag clauses, non disparagement clauses and.
• 44:48
  Speaker 6: A nice little settlement paypacket. Thank you very much. Please
• 44:51
  Speaker 6: don't say anything ever about this.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: Goodbye. I agree with your sentiment.
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: My only question is when you're talking about bullying and
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: harassment are they're often great areas where you know you
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: wouldn't prove it in a court of law.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: So therefore, all right, look, we will pay you.
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: But in return you agree we don't speak of this again,
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: and that arrangement is done because it's a little bit
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: gray and there's not an outright acknowledgment on either side
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: of what's actually happened.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: It's also done for the protection of the department.
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: And this goes on in the private sector all the
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: time as well, as it's not like it's unique to government.
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: But I think the point is that if the federal
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: government then wants to go and complain about how people
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: are treated in the private sector, then they need to
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: look inwardly first before they start making those complaints very quickly,
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: before we go to the break on the front of
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: The Australian tomorrow, it says anger in Heartland and Alpe
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: to blame.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: The face of Australia's largest liberties.
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: Muslim organization has questioned Pennywong's fitness to serve and said
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: labor had itself to blame for Muslim voters abandoning it
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: as he encouraged people to vote with their conscience amid
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: pro Palestine dependence looking.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: To topple the alp Oh.
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: I've got a spare of thought for poor old Penny
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: Wong here. You know, on one side she's copying it
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: from supporters of Israel. He say, look, woman, you have
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: equivocated on this the whole damn time. And then the
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: Musulims are joining in as well, saying you've equivocated on
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: this the whole damn time. The problem is, of course,
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: when you try to sit on the fence, you get splinters,
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: and that is what Pennywong is starting to discover.
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so give us some credit. She's managed to unite
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: the country. Everybody agree, doing a terrible job and should go.
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: We're going to go to a break when we come back.
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump, says Kamala Harris is mentally deficient. The media
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: are out age, but people just seem to love Donald Trump.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: Will show you in just a second, welcome back.
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump keeps saying outrageous things, but Liz, it doesn't
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: seem to affect his popularity.
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: It's certainly going well in Alabama, where he was for
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: a college football game recently. Check out the crowd's reaction
• 46:59
  Speaker 5: when they realize as Donald J. Trump was in the
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: stadium and the crowd goes a while at the dead
• 47:21
  Speaker 5: red state for a reason. I'm sure he knew he
• 47:23
  Speaker 5: was going to receive a very resounding reception there. He
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: was also at a rally recently where he basically summed
• 47:32
  Speaker 5: up the problems of the nation over the last almost
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: four years in one simple little joke.

  Speaker 1: Joe Biden became mentally impaired.
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: Kamala was born that way?
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: Where's the light?

  Speaker 6: Where's the lie?
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: How is he wrong?
• 47:51
  Speaker 5: He's just saying what everybody thinks, but he's too polite
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: to say.
• 47:55
  Speaker 6: Trust Trump to troll.
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: The crazy thing is that media are more upset about
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: that comment and they are about the damage that Kamala
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: Harris has done to the country.
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: I know exactly, and the damage that Biden has done
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: to the country while for the better part of four
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: years they propped.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: Him up while he clearly had dementia.
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: Anyway, very quickly before we go, I want to give
• 48:13

• 48:35
  Speaker 4: out of twenty four hand goods that and they have
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: capped the cost of everything on the menu at thirty dollars.
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: The most expensive thing on the menu is a Porterhouse
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: steak for thirty dollars and some beers have been slashed
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: from eleven dollars fifty to seven dollars fifty. I mean,
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: where can you get a pint of beer for seven
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: dollars fifty anymore? This bloke deserves anam because he's come
• 48:58
