Speaker 1: On scoring US Australia.
0:05
Speaker 2: This is the Reader Panalty Show.
0:08
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Reader Panicky Show coming
0:11
Speaker 3: up tonight. The Prime Minister facing more criticism for that tone.
0:15
Speaker 3: Dev Beach House purchase why experts are alarmed by Australia's
0:19
Speaker 3: foreign policy being compromised with identity politics. Senator Alex Antique
0:24
Speaker 3: will join me to discuss the latest from the US
0:27
Speaker 3: with Army Horowitz, including black and Hispanic voters walking away
0:31
Speaker 3: from the Democrats, and later in the hour, seventy Bastian
0:35
Speaker 3: will tell us why Chris Mins support where a radical
0:38
Speaker 3: policy will be bad news for New South Wales women
0:42
Speaker 3: and we never forget left He's losing it Tonight, Kamala
0:45
Speaker 3: Harris is looking at the stars.
0:48
Speaker 4: Look at where the stars are in the sky. Don't
0:53
Speaker 4: look them as just rand of things, if you just
0:55
Speaker 4: look at them as points. Look at the constellation. What
0:58
Speaker 4: does it show you? So you just outlined it, Roland,
1:02
Speaker 4: what does it show you?
1:03
Speaker 3: No idea what she's talking about. But first it's looking
1:06
Speaker 3: grim for the Stephen Miles government if early exit polls
1:10
Speaker 3: are to be believed. Korea Mail reports that an exit
1:13
Speaker 3: poll of one thousand Queensland is conducted by the paper
1:16
Speaker 3: and its sister publications. At early voting, Boots in ten
1:20
Speaker 3: seats showed a soaring primary vote for the LNP and
1:24
Speaker 3: trouble for Labor. The results are a similar to a
1:27
Speaker 3: recent news poll. The exit poll shows that the coalition
1:31
Speaker 3: is sitting on forty eight point two percent primary vote,
1:34
Speaker 3: Labour on thirty, Green's on eight point six percent, and
1:38
Speaker 3: one Nation on seven point three. If the data is accurate,
1:42
Speaker 3: then several government ministers will lose their seats. Let's bring
1:46
Speaker 3: in skyn Ish contributor pro mcswayin Proue. It seems crime
1:51
Speaker 3: and cost of living are top issues in Queensland. Can
1:55
Speaker 3: Stephen Miles do anything to convince Queenslanders to give Labor
1:59
Speaker 3: an the term?
2:00
Speaker 5: I can't say it happening. I don't think people are
2:03
Speaker 5: that stupid. I mean, the man cannot even remember the
2:07
Speaker 5: name of some of.
2:07
Speaker 2: His aspirants who are working with him.
2:11
Speaker 5: The guy has tried to buy votes, He's given away
2:14
Speaker 5: almost houses to everybody. But you cannot deny that crime,
2:20
Speaker 5: the cost of living, the fact that their debt is
2:24
Speaker 5: just skyrockt rocketing in that state. It's Anette government, It's
2:28
Speaker 5: a lazy government. It's been in power for the best
2:31
Speaker 5: part of what thirty years or so, with a slight
2:35
Speaker 5: hiccup with Campbell Newman. But you know when you look
2:38
Speaker 5: at the fact that so many of these seats held
2:41
Speaker 5: by Labor are just on a knife edge. There's only
2:43
Speaker 5: five votes in it or twelve votes in it. And
2:47
Speaker 5: all Chris of Filey needs is twelve seats and he'll
2:51
Speaker 5: walk it in. And I think he'll do that with
2:52
Speaker 5: his eyes closed.
2:56
Speaker 3: Now Australia's private health insurers are expected to ask the
2:59
Speaker 3: albumy is the government in early November for a hike
3:02
Speaker 3: in premiums. Somewhere between five and six percent is being reported.
3:07
Speaker 3: This is with the highest increase pre since twenty sixteen.
3:11
Speaker 3: It's terrible news for Labor, it's terrible news for Australians.
3:16
Speaker 3: Health insurance premiums are already a major burden on household
3:20
Speaker 3: budgets and I do wonder, Prue how many will cancel
3:24
Speaker 3: or reduce their cover if there is a five or
3:27
Speaker 3: six percent hike in their premium.
3:30
Speaker 5: Already Rita so many have at least if they haven't canceled,
3:34
Speaker 5: they've changed it so that they're not playing it paying
3:37
Speaker 5: as much, and when you look at it, most younger
3:41
Speaker 5: people are dropping it.
3:42
Speaker 3: It's oldies like me.
3:44
Speaker 5: Who really need to have that cover who are not
3:49
Speaker 5: prepared to roll the dice. But what really annoys me
3:52
Speaker 5: is thatment consecutive governments have been told and have been
3:56
Speaker 5: aware that the population is aging, that the strain on
4:00
Speaker 5: our health system was going to get worse as people
4:03
Speaker 5: do get older. And when we have people like me,
4:06
Speaker 5: I've been paying the top cover of health cover since
4:08
Speaker 5: i was sixteen. I don't think I've used it that often.
4:11
Speaker 5: Maybe in my later life a little bit more, but
4:14
Speaker 5: you cannot afford not to have it.
4:16
Speaker 3: But when they're not, you see the gap growing.
4:19
Speaker 5: You're paying all this money and yet you're still having
4:22
Speaker 5: to top it up. So the health funds are announcing
4:25
Speaker 5: big profits. They're not willing to pay for private rooms
4:29
Speaker 5: as we know, and.
4:31
Speaker 2: There's the pinch.
4:32
Speaker 5: But if people drop out, it's going to put more
4:34
Speaker 5: pressure on the health system and our hospital drowning as
4:38
Speaker 5: it is, so you know, there's a huge dilemma for
4:41
Speaker 5: this government.
4:42
Speaker 3: The funeral surrounding the Prime Minister's purchase of a luxury
4:46
Speaker 3: beach house continues. If Anthony Albeneasy thought this would be
4:49
Speaker 3: a twenty four hour story. He was mistaken. He's been
4:52
Speaker 3: accused of poor political judgment after purchasing this four point
4:56
Speaker 3: three million dollar home on the New Southwelles Central Coast.
5:00
Speaker 3: When asked about whether he had thought about how struggling
5:03
Speaker 3: Australians would view the purchase, this was his response.
5:07
Speaker 1: We also know what it's like.
5:10
Speaker 6: To struggle. My mum lived in the one public housing
5:14
Speaker 6: that she was born in for all of her sixty
5:16
Speaker 6: five years, and I know what it's like, which is
5:20
Speaker 6: why I want to help all Australians into a home.
5:24
Speaker 3: And some people are taking the purchase as a sign
5:27
Speaker 3: that he's bracing for an election loss, already perhaps contemplating
5:32
Speaker 3: life after politics. Are you planning to retire there?
5:37
Speaker 6: I'm planning to be in my current job for a
5:39
Speaker 6: very long period of time.
5:41
Speaker 3: And then he seemed to suggest that the purchase was
5:43
Speaker 3: motivated by his film.
5:45
Speaker 6: Say, well, Jody and I getting married, as is known,
5:51
Speaker 6: and I'm pleased about that. And JODI's a coasty She's
5:56
Speaker 6: a proud, coasty prow.
5:59
Speaker 3: What are you thinking all this?
6:01
Speaker 5: Well, look, one could say that he's very justified in
6:05
Speaker 5: buying himself a house, as the headlines have been saying,
6:10
Speaker 5: it's just the timing, the judgment, the fact that he
6:14
Speaker 5: really doesn't have a clue about what people are going through,
6:19
Speaker 5: and he offers platitudes. Oh yeah, we know it's the
6:23
Speaker 5: cost of living. We know that it's hard to buy
6:26
Speaker 5: a house, particularly if you're a young couple. And yet
6:30
Speaker 5: his deeds are denying all of that, because he's allowing
6:35
Speaker 5: migrants to flood through the borders, and of course.
6:38
Speaker 2: That's part of our problem.
6:40
Speaker 5: And then we also have the fact that Labor has
6:44
Speaker 5: always been the party of envy, you know, political envy,
6:49
Speaker 5: and they've done a great job of actually, I believe,
6:55
Speaker 5: failing aspirational Australians, you know, tradees who worked hard, small
7:01
Speaker 5: mum and dads and of course self funded retirees who
7:06
Speaker 5: are really at the thin end of the woods and
7:08
Speaker 5: being penalized for the fact that they've worked hard. And
7:11
Speaker 5: here he is saying he's worked hard and no one
7:14
Speaker 5: can deny that. You know, it's a crappy job twenty
7:17
Speaker 5: fourth to seven, but he's got so many perks and
7:20
Speaker 5: he does earn a good living. But to me, it's
7:23
Speaker 5: just doesn't fit with the narrative that the Labor Party
7:26
Speaker 5: seems to want to propose. And of course you have
7:29
Speaker 5: the Greens. Fourteen of them have three or more properties,
7:33
Speaker 5: so I mean they're all just hypocrites.
7:37
Speaker 3: Well, it's the location of the house more so than anything.
7:40
Speaker 3: For me. If this was in Sydney, you could look
7:42
Speaker 3: at the price and go well, it's a uniquely expensive market.
7:48
Speaker 3: And he is the Prime Minister. If he wants to
7:50
Speaker 3: live in a four and a half million dollar house,
7:51
Speaker 3: good luck to him. But the fact that this is
7:53
Speaker 3: not going to be his main residence, it's going to
7:57
Speaker 3: be a beach house. I think he probably is going
8:00
Speaker 3: to lease it out for a period that I think
8:03
Speaker 3: is upsetting a few people. If you could a four
8:07
Speaker 3: to four and a half million dollar beach house, perhaps
8:09
Speaker 3: you're not really understanding what most Australians are going through
8:14
Speaker 3: with the cost of living crisis. Now let's look at
8:17
Speaker 3: this report released by Australian Seniors. It sheds more light
8:21
Speaker 3: on the housing crisis facing young Australians. In particular, it's
8:26
Speaker 3: so bad now that many are opting to live with
8:29
Speaker 3: their parents well into their thirties. Prough and the Risk
8:33
Speaker 3: report showed that eighty percent of Australian parents don't actually
8:37
Speaker 3: want their children to move back home, and one in
8:41
Speaker 3: three are giving their children an early inheritance or providing
8:46
Speaker 3: some sort of financial support to help them either buy
8:50
Speaker 3: a house or just for a bond so they can
8:53
Speaker 3: rent a place. This is impacting how people live, both
8:58
Speaker 3: retire people in retirement age and also young Australians. Well,
9:02
Speaker 3: this is the thing and what I guess the Albanezi
9:04
Speaker 3: government doesn't understand that it's impacting people in really amazing
9:10
Speaker 3: ways that really are going to cost them for the
9:13
Speaker 3: rest of their lives, whether it be dipping into their
9:15
Speaker 3: savings that they've really worked hard to build. But in
9:19
Speaker 3: this case, you know, having your children, these boomerang children
9:23
Speaker 3: come and want to live with you, and the dynamics
9:25
Speaker 3: of the two generations or even three generations just don't work.
9:30
Speaker 3: So I can understand that, you know, parents want to
9:33
Speaker 3: help their kids, but they don't want.
9:34
Speaker 5: To sacrifice their lifestyle. I think it's a good idea
9:39
Speaker 5: if they can afford it, to try and help them now,
9:41
Speaker 5: because if the kids were likely to inherit the you know,
9:44
Speaker 5: their savings and some sort of good inheritance, it's going
9:48
Speaker 5: to allow them to buy a house in the future.
9:50
Speaker 5: If they can do it now, well and good. But
9:52
Speaker 5: I don't blame them for being tough on it.
9:54
Speaker 2: But what do you do.
9:55
Speaker 5: You don't want to see your children on the streets
9:57
Speaker 5: and that's what a lot of them are facing.
10:00
Speaker 3: Prou McSween, thank you so much for your time tonight.
10:03
Speaker 3: Joining me now is Liberal Senator Alex and tick Alex,
10:07
Speaker 3: let's start with this issue. I cannot believe this. Foreign
10:11
Speaker 3: policy experts have warned against the Albanesi government's move to
10:15
Speaker 3: take what it calls a First Nations approach to Australia's
10:19
Speaker 3: foreign policy. The Daily Telegraph has obtained an email sent
10:23
Speaker 3: by strategy firm Inside Policy on behalf of First Nations
10:27
Speaker 3: people Ambassador Justin Muhammad to indigenous stakeholders for their input
10:32
Speaker 3: into Australia's foreign policy. A DEFAT spokesman wouldn't answer questions
10:38
Speaker 3: on how much taxpayer money was going to Inside Policy,
10:43
Speaker 3: and they said the Department is committed to ensuring the
10:46
Speaker 3: implementation of a First nation's approach to foreign policy is
10:50
Speaker 3: evidence based and includes knowledge and insights from First Nations leaders, businesses,
10:56
Speaker 3: stakeholders and communities across Australia. This looks like a very
11:03
Speaker 3: expensive and I would argue unnecessary exercise.
11:11
Speaker 7: Yeah, reader, I think that's right. I mean the first
11:14
Speaker 7: thing I'd say off the cuff is I think we
11:17
Speaker 7: and the government departments and the public generally have to
11:20
Speaker 7: get over this business of using this term first Nations.
11:23
Speaker 7: I mean, it's a myth. There were no nations, and
11:28
Speaker 7: in fact what we are seeing now is really in
11:32
Speaker 7: practice this division of the country, the sort of division
11:35
Speaker 7: which was roundly warded off by the Australian voting public
11:40
Speaker 7: twelve months ago. I mean, in fact, the Voice referendum
11:42
Speaker 7: was the voice of unity really in the sense people said,
11:45
Speaker 7: we are all Australians. And so for this sort of
11:50
Speaker 7: prospect of having these decisions being outsourced and the rule
11:54
Speaker 7: of being run over from a so called first Nations
11:57
Speaker 7: point of view is very troubling. Were used to this
12:00
Speaker 7: at local government, at state level, many instances of that
12:03
Speaker 7: happening here in South Australia, with some matters that we
12:07
Speaker 7: were alerted to, where tens of thousands of dollars, if
12:10
Speaker 7: not hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent consulting and
12:13
Speaker 7: reconsulting and going back to various groups, indigenous groups about
12:17
Speaker 7: signs at a National park and whether or not they
12:20
Speaker 7: fitted the cultural sensitivity.
12:22
Speaker 1: But this is a new level.
12:23
Speaker 7: I mean, these are extraordinarily important matters of foreign affairs
12:26
Speaker 7: that simply just do not have to be dealt with
12:29
Speaker 7: in this matter.
12:30
Speaker 1: It's frightening and Australian should be alarmed.
12:34
Speaker 2: Well.
12:35
Speaker 3: Defat seems to be completely taken over by identity politics.
12:40
Speaker 3: You look at so many of their communications and positions
12:44
Speaker 3: they take. It seems to be rife through the bureaucracy.
12:48
Speaker 3: But when it does come to foreign policy, what does
12:53
Speaker 3: this mean? Are we going to have two separate points
12:56
Speaker 3: of view, one that represents all Australians and one that
13:00
Speaker 3: only represents the First Nations Ambassador. I'm really quite confused
13:06
Speaker 3: about how this new appointment even works.
13:12
Speaker 2: Yeah.
13:12
Speaker 7: I mean they would say all they're doing is consulting
13:14
Speaker 7: with stakeholders, but really, we're all Australians. I mean I
13:17
Speaker 7: don't see them consulting with the Greek Australian community. I
13:20
Speaker 7: don't see them consulting with the Vietnamese Australian community. We're
13:23
Speaker 7: all Australians and our foreign policy should be in the
13:25
Speaker 7: best interests of Australia. So look, there are those in
13:29
Speaker 7: the left in this country who simply want to see
13:32
Speaker 7: those divisions. They love the identity politics. It's rife through
13:35
Speaker 7: the bureaucracy and as we both know, the leftist terrarium
13:40
Speaker 7: that is Parliament House during estimates shows that as clearly
13:45
Speaker 7: as you would ever like to see. But this sort
13:47
Speaker 7: of division has to stop. We need to speak with
13:49
Speaker 7: one voice.
13:52
Speaker 3: And you're so right about the term First Nations really
13:56
Speaker 3: not being accurate. It's a political term, not even a
14:00
Speaker 3: political term. Our activist came up whether it's taken from Canada,
14:04
Speaker 3: and when you hear it, there should be a red
14:06
Speaker 3: flag because it's normally politics at play. Now let's move
14:11
Speaker 3: on to the bigam Bull Native Title Aboriginal Corporation being
14:16
Speaker 3: granted a two hundred and ten hectar freehold land parcel
14:21
Speaker 3: freehold land parcel surrounding the outback Queensland town of Toba.
14:26
Speaker 3: After three years of talks with the local and state governments.
14:30
Speaker 3: There now no Big and Bull people currently live in
14:34
Speaker 3: to Beer and they haven't lived there, Alex since the
14:38
Speaker 3: late nineteen sixties. What do you make of this decision?
14:44
Speaker 7: Well, I mean I read the article with interest as well,
14:46
Speaker 7: and one of the one of the local business people
14:48
Speaker 7: there says his family business has been in the area longer.
14:52
Speaker 7: And of course this was an extension of native title. Effectively,
14:54
Speaker 7: this was freehold title which was given to the group
14:58
Speaker 7: because they were.
15:00
Speaker 1: Native title interests.
15:01
Speaker 7: And I mean I remember very early on as a
15:03
Speaker 7: university student when the Native Title Act was introduced to
15:06
Speaker 7: people saying, oh, there's no way this is going to evolve.
15:10
Speaker 7: This is just you know, native title is what it is.
15:12
Speaker 7: And here we are. We're seeing this all over the country.
15:14
Speaker 7: And it's not just this one extreme example either. It's
15:18
Speaker 7: also issues of permits being given out left, right and center.
15:22
Speaker 7: We've seen the reports of permits being needed to enter
15:24
Speaker 7: land some beaches in Queensland. I believe the Central Land
15:28
Speaker 7: Cancel is still requiring vaccine passports.
15:31
Speaker 1: To get through, some of them in the Northern territory.
15:33
Speaker 7: So this is an extension of the issue we talked
15:35
Speaker 7: about to start off with.
15:37
Speaker 1: This is Australia. It is one country.
15:40
Speaker 7: This nonsense of having permits for everything to get into
15:43
Speaker 7: parts of our own country is I mean, if it's
15:46
Speaker 7: not alarming Australians, imagine what the voice would have done.
15:49
Speaker 7: I mean, this is the one thing rank and file
15:51
Speaker 7: everyday Australians have rejected this concept and it's time some
15:55
Speaker 7: of these bureaucrats and weak politicians started doing the same thing.
16:00
Speaker 3: Well, yes, you had over sixty percent say no resoundingly,
16:04
Speaker 3: and so many of the bureaucrats have just ignored that
16:07
Speaker 3: and going on with their agenda like the referendum never happened. Now,
16:12
Speaker 3: just finally, before you go, a huge win for free speech.
16:16
Speaker 3: Last week, Australia's e Karen as I call it, Julie
16:19
Speaker 3: Inman Grant has abandoned her battle with Elon Musk and
16:23
Speaker 3: X over the removal of videos from the alleged terror
16:27
Speaker 3: event at Wakeley Church back in April. This is a
16:32
Speaker 3: big win, Alex, but the Orwellian disinformation legislation that we're
16:37
Speaker 3: now looking at will make this victory seem insignificant. It's nothing.
16:42
Speaker 3: If something like that comes in, it comes in and
16:46
Speaker 3: everyone's free speech and free expression is going to be impacted.
16:52
Speaker 1: Yeah.
16:52
Speaker 7: Well, I mean these are the sort of canaries down
16:54
Speaker 7: the coal mine of what we are going to see
16:56
Speaker 7: if that act passes, Bill passes, which we all hope
16:59
Speaker 7: it will not. I mean, these are you know, seemingly
17:04
Speaker 7: simple things a Twitter post involving a violent attack. Sure,
17:09
Speaker 7: but they're always couched in the language of preventing palmed children.
17:13
Speaker 7: You'll see all of the incursions onto free speech online
17:16
Speaker 7: being framed in that terminology. This office originally started as
17:20
Speaker 7: the Office of the Children's e Safety Commissioner, and of
17:22
Speaker 7: course the mission creep has crept out into all sorts now.
17:27
Speaker 7: The same will apply to half a dozen pieces of
17:30
Speaker 7: legislation that have come through the Digital id Act being
17:33
Speaker 7: one of them, and of course this Combating Misinformation Bill
17:36
Speaker 7: will morph into bigger and badder forms of censorship. It's
17:40
Speaker 7: bad enough as it is at the moment, but this
17:43
Speaker 7: is indicative of where it heads. We need to defeat it.
17:46
Speaker 7: This is a message for the cross bench in the Senate.
17:48
Speaker 7: They need to understand that this can flip on both
17:51
Speaker 7: sides of politics. This is not a left and right issues.
17:53
Speaker 7: This is a free speech issue. And we've got to
17:56
Speaker 7: see this clearly for what it is, because I'm worried
17:59
Speaker 7: that there is a push on from even more power
18:01
Speaker 7: after the Combating this Information Bill passes.
18:04
Speaker 1: If it does, which we hope it doesn't.
18:07
Speaker 3: Well, where does it stand in the Upper House, are
18:10
Speaker 3: the crossbenches likely to support it, and what's your feeling
18:14
Speaker 3: about its chances of passing?
18:17
Speaker 7: Well, Look, I mean from the limited discussions that I've
18:20
Speaker 7: had with some of them, they seem to be across
18:22
Speaker 7: the fact that it's bad law, and I hope that
18:25
Speaker 7: stands the test of time. I mean, I'll certainly be
18:27
Speaker 7: doing what I can to speak to anyone who will
18:29
Speaker 7: vote against this. What I'm worried about, of course, is
18:31
Speaker 7: that amendments come in and we get watered down into
18:34
Speaker 7: a slightly less worse version of an already terrible piece
18:37
Speaker 7: of law. That's what I think we need to be
18:39
Speaker 7: fearful of. This doesn't need to be amended to a
18:41
Speaker 7: satisfactory position. This needs to be scotched and thrown out
18:44
Speaker 7: the door and never repeat it, because it's bad for everyone.
18:47
Speaker 7: Whether you are a person who thinks that there should
18:50
Speaker 7: be treaty for indigenous people in this country, or you're
18:53
Speaker 7: a person that wants to be told what to do
18:56
Speaker 7: with their own health care, it doesn't matter.
18:58
Speaker 1: This bill is bad for business.
19:02
Speaker 3: Oh, It's absolutely bad. And like the Voice, like something
19:05
Speaker 3: that was going to enshrine racial division into the constitution.
19:09
Speaker 3: This is just bad on its face, it's toxic, it's poison.
19:14
Speaker 3: We don't needed watered down, we needed gone. So I
19:17
Speaker 3: do genuinely hope that the cross benches don't get bribed
19:23
Speaker 3: or don't get influenced by the bay of the Albanezy
19:26
Speaker 3: government and stick to their guns, because if this comes in,
19:30
Speaker 3: it's going to impact everybody. Though sadly, Alex, so many
19:34
Speaker 3: on the left these days seem to favor these sorts
19:38
Speaker 3: of laws. They do want to see free speech curb.
19:41
Speaker 3: They do want to see their political opponents suppressed.
19:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, look it's right.
19:46
Speaker 7: I had a conversation with Michael Schellenberger, of course, who
19:49
Speaker 7: is from the progressive left in Berkeley in California. Can't
19:53
Speaker 7: get much more left wing than that, and that model
19:57
Speaker 7: of left wing, I think is a very different beast
20:00
Speaker 7: to the new modern, cosmopolitan, authoritarian version of the left,
20:04
Speaker 7: and people like him can see it. Unfortunately, I'm not
20:07
Speaker 7: sure that's transcribed properly across to the Australian left, to
20:10
Speaker 7: many of whom think it's quite okay to scotch free
20:14
Speaker 7: speech if it suits your political narrative. That shouldn't be
20:17
Speaker 7: the way any of us behave, and the Bill needs
20:19
Speaker 7: to be defeated.
20:22
Speaker 3: Senator ALEXANDIQ. Thanks for your time.
20:25
Speaker 1: Thanks reader.
20:27
Speaker 3: Still to Carmi your favorite segment, Lefties Losing It and
20:32
Speaker 3: the latest from the US, including black and Hispanic voters
20:36
Speaker 3: walking away from the Democrats. Army Horowitz is up next.
20:49
Speaker 3: Welcome back. Now it's time for Lefties Losing It And
20:52
Speaker 3: to the Ladies of the View, the bitter, mean spirited
20:56
Speaker 3: d Lulu Ladies of the View, here is Sunny Houston
21:00
Speaker 3: calling black men Cuban men who vote for Trump ridiculous
21:04
Speaker 3: and crazy.
21:05
Speaker 8: You've got fifty three percent of white women that voted
21:07
Speaker 8: for him in twenty twenty. We've got to reach those women.
21:10
Speaker 8: We've got to reach those ridiculous, crazy black men that
21:13
Speaker 8: did vote for Trump. We've got to reach those people.
21:15
Speaker 8: We've got to reach the Cuban men in Miami that
21:18
Speaker 8: overwhelmingly voted for Trump. I don't know what their hearts
21:22
Speaker 8: look like.
21:22
Speaker 3: That should be part of Trump's next ad. He'll set
21:25
Speaker 3: records for the black vote. If more black folk knew
21:29
Speaker 3: how the elite Democrat class look at them. And if
21:32
Speaker 3: you want to know just how wacky Sonny is, listen
21:35
Speaker 3: to her say just last month that Joe Biden's legacy
21:39
Speaker 3: will rival George Washington's. I wish I was kidding.
21:43
Speaker 8: I truly believe that his legacy will be etched in
21:47
Speaker 8: the history books as Washington as someone who put that
21:52
Speaker 8: ego aside and put his country in her So he's
21:55
Speaker 8: definitely his leg.
21:57
Speaker 3: It's still funny every time I hear it. Now, let's
22:00
Speaker 3: from some black men who are voting for Trump, even
22:03
Speaker 3: as this shopkeeper who's interviewing them tries to convince them
22:08
Speaker 3: to vote for Kamala by the vote.
22:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, who you vote for Trump?
22:12
Speaker 1: Come on, bro, Harris thu us backwards?
22:13
Speaker 2: Broke what Harris Man?
22:15
Speaker 1: We're not We're not voting for that man. He's voting
22:18
Speaker 1: for Trump.
22:18
Speaker 2: Man, I'm black, So why are you riding with Trump
22:20
Speaker 2: so much?
22:20
Speaker 9: The Venezuela is taking all our bread?
22:23
Speaker 1: Added Trump or Kamala Trump? Be honest? Why Trump?
22:27
Speaker 4: Though he used to keep immigrants out so you know
22:29
Speaker 4: we were able for us to get jobs. It's hard
22:31
Speaker 4: for us to get jobs now, sure because immigrants taken
22:33
Speaker 4: over in Like.
22:34
Speaker 1: What would make you wanna vote for Kamala?
22:37
Speaker 3: Hey?
22:37
Speaker 1: God, we was all us two people on earth.
22:39
Speaker 2: Still wouldn't do that. Shit from broke grade.
22:42
Speaker 1: It's like that, Yes, like that, I don't would I.
22:46
Speaker 2: Go with Trump? She ain't no good. I put it
22:48
Speaker 2: like that.
22:48
Speaker 9: So whoever want to believe it, go on her, check
22:51
Speaker 9: her history, y'all turn around here.
22:53
Speaker 10: So you would you would have vote for a black
22:55
Speaker 10: woman that's gonna be the first black woman in.
22:56
Speaker 8: Office, that's gonna start World War three soon when she get.
22:59
Speaker 1: In Kamala Trump Trump?
23:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, come on, bro, Tamala till it's backwards.
23:05
Speaker 10: Brokamala, we voted for Trump.
23:07
Speaker 1: But what did you talk about? You know?
23:09
Speaker 10: Damn well, we don't Kamala trum Trump give our free
23:12
Speaker 10: stems and everything.
23:13
Speaker 2: You tweaking? Yeah, that's how you feel, you tweaking?
23:16
Speaker 11: Bro Vo Kamala man, we you and come on, bro,
23:20
Speaker 11: I can't even have my opinion.
23:21
Speaker 10: Damn bro, bro, you voted for you, so you went
23:23
Speaker 10: there all them Venezuela, you with.
23:25
Speaker 2: All that goofy nah ain't no. Yeah.
23:28
Speaker 3: Now the Democrats and Kamala Harris are in full panic.
23:32
Speaker 3: Might black men are abandoning the Democrats and Barack Obama
23:35
Speaker 3: writing the brothers as he calls them, isn't going to
23:38
Speaker 3: bring them back. So the they went on the breakfast
23:41
Speaker 3: club and talked about reparations before again reminding us she
23:45
Speaker 3: grew up in a middle class family.
23:47
Speaker 10: A caution to you is what's your stance on reparations.
23:51
Speaker 10: We all know that America became great, you know, off
23:56
Speaker 10: the backs of free black labor. How of argue on
24:01
Speaker 10: making it a priority and right in America's wrongs?
24:04
Speaker 4: Yes, I am running to be a president for all Americans.
24:08
Speaker 4: That being said, I do have clear eyes about the
24:13
Speaker 4: disparities that exist and the context in which they exist,
24:17
Speaker 4: meaning history to your point. So my agenda, well, first
24:22
Speaker 4: of all, on the plane of reparations, it has to
24:25
Speaker 4: be studied. There's no question about that, and I've been
24:27
Speaker 4: very clear about that position. In terms of my immediate plan,
24:32
Speaker 4: I will tell you a few of the following one
24:35
Speaker 4: as it relates to the economy, which is a lot
24:37
Speaker 4: of what you have addressed. Look, I grew up in
24:41
Speaker 4: the middle class. My mother, you know, worked hard, raised
24:44
Speaker 4: me and my sister.
24:45
Speaker 3: She always goes back to that, but reparations, really so
24:49
Speaker 3: people who've never owned slaves, giving money to people who've
24:52
Speaker 3: never been slaves sounds like the sort of lifty losing
24:55
Speaker 3: a policy. Harris always champions also on the program, We've
24:59
Speaker 3: got these this incredible statement from Kamala saying the only
25:02
Speaker 3: reason she is losing support is because Republicans are scaring
25:07
Speaker 3: people away. Then she goes straight to one of her
25:10
Speaker 3: favorite bits of scare mongering and lies about Project twenty five.
25:14
Speaker 4: Part of the challenge that I face is that they
25:19
Speaker 4: are trying to scare people away because they know they
25:24
Speaker 4: otherwise have nothing to run on. Ask Donald Trump, but
25:28
Speaker 4: his plan is for Black America? Ask him, well, you know,
25:32
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what it is. Look at Project twenty twenty.
25:34
Speaker 3: Five, Project twenty five, Project twenty five. The hypocrisy, the
25:38
Speaker 3: projection there is incredible. All they have is fear and
25:42
Speaker 3: lies about Project twenty five and threats to democracy. And
25:46
Speaker 3: with the Democrats losing support among black men, we saw
25:50
Speaker 3: Kamala resort to racist, sexist bribes. She posted this overnight.
25:55
Speaker 3: She said black men deserve a president who cares about
25:59
Speaker 3: making their life better, and then she attached her policy
26:03
Speaker 3: agenda for black men, including creating an opportunity agenda for
26:08
Speaker 3: black men, not black women, not Latino men, certainly not
26:11
Speaker 3: white folk, just black men mentioned in her communication. And
26:17
Speaker 3: let's look at what she offers this demographic, one million dollars, sorry,
26:21
Speaker 3: one million loans that are fully forgivable, and the women
26:26
Speaker 3: who locked up people for marijuana offenses is now promising
26:30
Speaker 3: to make weed legal because that's all black men care
26:33
Speaker 3: about in Kamala's eyes, not paying back their loans and weed.
26:37
Speaker 3: Can you imagine if Trump posted a policy called creating
26:41
Speaker 3: an opportunity agenda for white men. But the VP has
26:46
Speaker 3: not just been race baiting, She's also been stargazing.
26:50
Speaker 4: You know, there's this whole I talked with somebody wants
26:53
Speaker 4: to say, you know, if you just look at where
26:55
Speaker 4: the stars are in the sky, don't look them as
27:00
Speaker 4: just random things. If you just look at them as points.
27:03
Speaker 4: Look at the constellation. What does it show you? So
27:06
Speaker 4: you just outlined it, Roland, what does it show you?
27:10
Speaker 3: I have no idea what that was about. I've got
27:12
Speaker 3: no explanation at all. Just thank god she has such
27:15
Speaker 3: a relatable, normal, masculine man's man from the Midwest as
27:20
Speaker 3: her running mate. Not like he's going to say anything stupid.
27:26
Speaker 2: Look, you all know it. We can't have four more
27:29
Speaker 2: years of this. We won't have four more years of it.
27:33
Speaker 2: We won't.
27:34
Speaker 3: There you go, that's definitely in Trump's next ad, we
27:37
Speaker 3: can't have four more years of this. He's right, the
27:39
Speaker 3: Democrats have been terrible. And if he thought sassy moves
27:43
Speaker 3: and stupid comments for all Timwalls had to offer, then
27:46
Speaker 3: you'd be wrong. He's actually quite means spirited too. Here
27:50
Speaker 3: he mocks Trump and a woman who he helped out
27:54
Speaker 3: by giving her one hundred dollars for her grocery bill.
27:58
Speaker 12: But he walks into this grocery store and he hands
28:00
Speaker 12: one hundred dollars bill to a lady of pay for
28:02
Speaker 12: his grocery. Did you see this? So I'm like thinking,
28:05
Speaker 12: I wonder what he's doing there, And then I got
28:07
Speaker 12: to thinking, I think it's just natural any woman he
28:09
Speaker 12: sees he pays off because he did something on there.
28:12
Speaker 3: I don't know what an absolute grub. Joining me now
28:18
Speaker 3: is filmmaker and commentator Army Horowitz. Army. The left is
28:22
Speaker 3: in meltdown over new polling data showing that Donald Trump
28:26
Speaker 3: is gaining popularity among black and Hispanic voters. Even CNN
28:30
Speaker 3: pundits are a spin in a spin about this. It
28:33
Speaker 3: looks like Trump will have the best performance with black
28:37
Speaker 3: voters since nineteen sixty That's the best black vote for
28:41
Speaker 3: a Republican in sixty four years, despite continuously being called
28:45
Speaker 3: a racist army.
28:48
Speaker 11: Yeah, look, it's absolutely incredible. Obama, the Obama coalition propelled
28:56
Speaker 11: Obama and Joe Biden to the presidency. Was he is
29:00
Speaker 11: a three legged stool, right, it's white women, Hispanics, and
29:04
Speaker 11: Black voters. And while he's gaining with white women, although
29:07
Speaker 11: that's actually being outpaced by the gains by Trump with
29:11
Speaker 11: white men, the other two legs of the stool are
29:14
Speaker 11: cratering Rita. First of all, the Hispanic vote, the Hispanic
29:18
Speaker 11: vote two elections ago, was it nearly seventy percent? Right
29:22
Speaker 11: now Trump might get fifty percent. He's run now pulling
29:26
Speaker 11: it close to fifty percent of the Hispanics. That despite
29:29
Speaker 11: the fact that media, the media business continuously trying to
29:33
Speaker 11: call him his anti Hispanic, right, it's all they do.
29:36
Speaker 11: He hates immigrants, he hates Hispanics. Hispanics aren't stupid. They
29:40
Speaker 11: see what's going on. And that's why he might win
29:43
Speaker 11: close to fifty percent of the Hispanic vote.
29:45
Speaker 2: Okay, this is not going well for them.
29:48
Speaker 11: The black vote, the black vote historically votes the Democrats
29:53
Speaker 11: at a higher rate than Putin win in his last
29:56
Speaker 11: rigged election. Okay, they vote for Democrats at nearly ninety percent.
30:02
Speaker 11: But right now it is possible that Trump is gonna
30:05
Speaker 11: win twenty five percent of the black vote. That may
30:09
Speaker 11: not seem like a lot to you, but that is
30:12
Speaker 11: that is a bigger percent of the black vote in
30:14
Speaker 11: almost sixty years for publics. But more importantly is that
30:18
Speaker 11: that vote may flip a state like Pennsylvania where he
30:23
Speaker 11: really has a problem in the Philadelphia urban area. Look,
30:25
Speaker 11: all of these things are coming together and creating absolute
30:29
Speaker 11: desperation and fear in the camp for Kamala Harris. How
30:33
Speaker 11: do we know that because she's going on She's going
30:36
Speaker 11: to the death Star. She's going on to Fox News
30:39
Speaker 11: for an interview. She is so desperate that she is. Look,
30:43
Speaker 11: she can't handle friendly interviews, Rita, how is she gonna
30:46
Speaker 11: handle Brett Baer And Brett Bhrer, by the way, is
30:48
Speaker 11: not an attack dog. Brett Bhaer is actually just fair, right,
30:52
Speaker 11: fair and honest, And she's not gonna handle that. She
30:54
Speaker 11: can't handle the view, Rita, what is she gonna do? Look,
30:58
Speaker 11: the polling is all trending away from her. You know,
31:02
Speaker 11: a couple of quick stats, but I think are really
31:03
Speaker 11: important right now in the rust Belt. Right the three
31:07
Speaker 11: most important swing states Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin. Right now, she's
31:12
Speaker 11: behind in all he may sweep all three of them,
31:16
Speaker 11: and Wisconsin, which was kind of solidly in her camp,
31:19
Speaker 11: not by much, pretty solidly, And the last ten poles
31:23
Speaker 11: that were done, she's only up in four of those poles.
31:26
Speaker 11: In Pennsylvania and the last ten polls, she's only.
31:30
Speaker 2: Up in two.
31:30
Speaker 11: And in Michigan, which is probably the solid smoke, solid
31:34
Speaker 11: blue of those three, and the last ten poles, she's
31:37
Speaker 11: only up by one. She's down statistically in all of
31:40
Speaker 11: those swing states. And he's probably gonna win Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona,
31:45
Speaker 11: and right now Nevada is treading toward him. So he
31:47
Speaker 11: may look right now it's possible if the election were
31:49
Speaker 11: health today, he might win every one of those swing states.
31:53
Speaker 11: It is desperation time in Harris's camp.
31:58
Speaker 3: And as we know with him, he is historically polls badly.
32:03
Speaker 3: He is vote is underrepresented in those polls. The end
32:07
Speaker 3: results always turns out to show that he had far
32:11
Speaker 3: more support. I remember in twenty twenty, the margins between
32:14
Speaker 3: the last polls and what he actually achieved at the
32:18
Speaker 3: election were enormous in some states, so that I think
32:22
Speaker 3: would be playing on the Democrats mind as well. Just
32:24
Speaker 3: how bad are the real numbers, not just what we're seeing,
32:28
Speaker 3: And you can see why her camp is panicking and
32:31
Speaker 3: coming up with these vote buying policies that are frankly
32:34
Speaker 3: races one million forgivable loans of up to twenty thousand dollars.
32:40
Speaker 3: She's aiming this at black men to try to get
32:44
Speaker 3: them to stick with the Democrats. She's talked about protecting
32:48
Speaker 3: cryptocurrency investments for black men, making recreational weed legal, and
32:55
Speaker 3: certainly having brac Obama go out there and great black
32:59
Speaker 3: men seem to backfire army. That did not That did
33:04
Speaker 3: not work. In fact, I think it did far more
33:07
Speaker 3: damage than good.
33:10
Speaker 2: No.
33:10
Speaker 11: I mean, on what planet do you think it's a
33:12
Speaker 11: good idea for anybody? I don't care if it's for
33:16
Speaker 11: the first black president to go out to the constituency
33:19
Speaker 11: you're trying to get to support you and to vote
33:22
Speaker 11: for you, and then demonize them and say you're a
33:24
Speaker 11: bunch of misogynist idiots.
33:26
Speaker 2: On what planet is that going to work? I don't understand.
33:32
Speaker 3: Now you've been out on the ground again, speaking to voters.
33:36
Speaker 3: You're in Harlem. Here's what one young man had to
33:39
Speaker 3: say about why so many black men are leaving the Democrats.
33:44
Speaker 9: You think, whether it's broke, Ben Bronx, I see a
33:45
Speaker 9: lot of people that you will never think, Oh, you know,
33:48
Speaker 9: I'm pro Trump.
33:48
Speaker 2: You know, let's go Trump. Do you know they particularly
33:52
Speaker 2: black men?
33:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, believe it or not.
33:54
Speaker 9: I'm in all. A lot of the media, especially what
33:57
Speaker 9: we see now you know CNN and you know everything,
34:02
Speaker 9: they don't really tell us the full story. They pushed
34:04
Speaker 9: this notion that maybe Trump is like this bad guy
34:06
Speaker 9: and something he could Yeah, he could very well just
34:08
Speaker 9: be like a bad guy. But I'd be lying if
34:11
Speaker 9: you know, like numbers don't lie. If you look back,
34:12
Speaker 9: he's done a lie, especially you know in terms of
34:15
Speaker 9: employment and stuff. He's done a lot for you know,
34:17
Speaker 9: like us, you know, under his administration and.
34:20
Speaker 3: Ami, as you pointed out, the issues that impact black
34:24
Speaker 3: people are the same ones that issue that impact everybody else,
34:29
Speaker 3: whether it's crime, inflation, the illegal immigration crisis. And I
34:35
Speaker 3: think that's something that the Democrats are forgotten. The areas
34:38
Speaker 3: where they have failed America, they've also found the black community.
34:43
Speaker 2: Look, I was out there all day.
34:45
Speaker 11: Look, I'm in Harlem quite often talking to black people,
34:47
Speaker 11: but you know I spent all day talking to them
34:49
Speaker 11: specifically for a video on this topic. And yes, look,
34:54
Speaker 11: they understand that they are being taken for granted. That's
34:59
Speaker 11: like you hear that all the time by black people. Look,
35:02
Speaker 11: we're voting ninety percent.
35:03
Speaker 2: What are we doing? What are we getting for this?
35:05
Speaker 2: They're not stupid.
35:06
Speaker 11: They're old enough to remember what it was like under
35:09
Speaker 11: Trump and compared to what their life is like today
35:11
Speaker 11: under Joe Biden. And they're looking and say, we were
35:13
Speaker 11: better off four years ago. Not just black people, by
35:16
Speaker 11: the way, but the same question that every American asked themselves.
35:19
Speaker 11: And they come to the same inclusion, My life was
35:21
Speaker 11: better four years ago than it is today. That's a problem,
35:24
Speaker 11: that's an endemic problem the Democrats they cannot run away from.
35:29
Speaker 11: And and this balkanization of black people to say, hey,
35:34
Speaker 11: your issues are different than everybody else, it's so patronizing,
35:38
Speaker 11: it's so racist, it's so ignorant.
35:41
Speaker 2: What are black issues? What's a black issue? I don't know.
35:44
Speaker 2: I know what a black issue is.
35:45
Speaker 11: It's crime, it's education, it's immigration, it's the economy, it's inflation.
35:50
Speaker 2: Oh guess what those are also my issues?
35:52
Speaker 11: How could that be? We're all the same, Yes, we're
35:55
Speaker 11: all the same. The Democrats cannot understand that. That is
35:58
Speaker 11: why I think, Look, I'm gonna call it now. I
36:01
Speaker 11: think Trump's wins this election. The thing is trending toward him.
36:03
Speaker 11: It's only three weeks left. I don't see this turning
36:06
Speaker 11: around anytime soon. Unless there's some kind of massive mistake
36:08
Speaker 11: that he maxed, which is always possible.
36:10
Speaker 2: I'm calling the shot. I think Trump's gonna win.
36:14
Speaker 3: Well, I'm sure the Democrats will have a few tricks
36:17
Speaker 3: up their sleeve. I don't know if it'll be more
36:19
Speaker 3: law fair or what they're going to throw, but I'm
36:22
Speaker 3: sure there will be something, because surely they would have
36:26
Speaker 3: known that Kamala Harris wasn't going to be some visionary
36:30
Speaker 3: leader that was going to just make people forget the
36:34
Speaker 3: last four years. She was pretty inept as vice president,
36:38
Speaker 3: which they tried to memory hold for the nation. The
36:42
Speaker 3: media campaign around her, I think is something that will
36:45
Speaker 3: study for decades to come.
36:47
Speaker 2: Now.
36:48
Speaker 3: Crime is a big issue in this election, particularly in
36:51
Speaker 3: the big cities, including New York. The New York Post
36:55
Speaker 3: had this front page. It says it all. You've got
36:58
Speaker 3: migrant youth gangs run riot in Manhattan, operating out of
37:03
Speaker 3: taxpayer funded shelters, and the teenagers are terrorizing folks, I mean,
37:08
Speaker 3: Times Square. They seem to have little fear of consequences
37:13
Speaker 3: even after committing things that robberies and armed robberies. How
37:17
Speaker 3: bad is this issue in a place like New York
37:20
Speaker 3: and now the cities across America.
37:23
Speaker 11: Look, I've said before, I'm not antiperbole. I don't like
37:26
Speaker 11: making things bigger than they are. I live in New York.
37:29
Speaker 11: Things are not great. Things are bad. They're trending worse,
37:32
Speaker 11: and a lot of it's because of the legal immigrants
37:34
Speaker 11: we are coming in. There's no question about it. Are
37:36
Speaker 11: we Venezuela? Of course I don't like those comparisons.
37:39
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous.
37:40
Speaker 11: But are we better now again we were four, eight
37:44
Speaker 11: or ten years ago? No, of course or not. It's
37:46
Speaker 11: much much worse. Crime is absolutely getting worse. You can
37:49
Speaker 11: feel it, you can see it. We're gonna believe me
37:51
Speaker 11: or your lying on right, that's whatever New Yorker says. Well,
37:54
Speaker 11: they hear, oh, crime is down. That's not really true,
37:56
Speaker 11: at least for the crime that affects people. Look, they're
37:59
Speaker 11: supposed to be handcuffing the criminals, but instead they're handcuffing
38:04
Speaker 11: the police. They're not allowing, they're disallowing the police to
38:09
Speaker 11: do what they have to do, particularly when it comes
38:11
Speaker 11: around illegal immigration, because New York is a sanctuary city,
38:15
Speaker 11: and by the way, most of the Blue cities, the
38:17
Speaker 11: big Blue cities, are sanctuary cities, and this is one
38:21
Speaker 11: of the massive problems. They have safe havens they can
38:23
Speaker 11: go to. And also there's also a significant problem about
38:26
Speaker 11: youth crime because these people aren't stupid. They know how
38:30
Speaker 11: to gain the system, and they know that if if
38:32
Speaker 11: they take children and have the children commit crimes that
38:35
Speaker 11: they lagged against them. As weak as they are against adults,
38:39
Speaker 11: they're almost non existent when they come to miners and
38:42
Speaker 11: miners is anything under eighteen and they know that, so
38:45
Speaker 11: they're recruiting young people.
38:47
Speaker 2: It is. It is child abuse. It is unbelievable.
38:50
Speaker 11: Look, not that long ago, I actually saw a man
38:53
Speaker 11: threatening a young woman late at night on Saturday night,
38:56
Speaker 11: twelve thirty in the morning, threatened to kill and rape
38:58
Speaker 11: her and mean a guy who had didn't know saw
39:00
Speaker 11: this go on.
39:01
Speaker 2: We grabbed him we put him under a sins arrest.
39:03
Speaker 11: And we held him. We called nine one one. First
39:05
Speaker 11: of all, it took seven minutes for the police to
39:07
Speaker 11: get to us. Seven minutes you're holding a man who
39:09
Speaker 11: does not want to be held down is a long time.
39:12
Speaker 11: When the cops got there, I said, they said, I
39:15
Speaker 11: explain what they were doing. He was actually threatening to
39:17
Speaker 11: kill the police while we were holding him, and the
39:20
Speaker 11: police said, let him go. There's nothing we can do.
39:23
Speaker 11: They literally told me that I had to let this
39:25
Speaker 11: psycho path go free because the police would do nothing.
39:29
Speaker 11: It is horrible what's going on. And by the way,
39:32
Speaker 11: look maybe okay, maybe not.
39:34
Speaker 2: Worse, but pretty close to worse.
39:35
Speaker 11: And how the media is downplaying all of this rita.
39:39
Speaker 11: The media has tried to pretend none of this is happening, right,
39:42
Speaker 11: These are not.
39:43
Speaker 2: The droids you are looking for.
39:45
Speaker 11: You watched the jd vance interview with Martha Radditts and ABC.
39:48
Speaker 11: It was unbelievable. She was a mouthpiece for the DNC.
39:53
Speaker 11: She kept saying, it's not a big deal. It's not
39:55
Speaker 11: a big deal in Colorado. It's only her words.
40:00
Speaker 2: A handful of.
40:01
Speaker 11: Apartment buildings have been taken over by gangs and Jenny
40:04
Speaker 11: dance his credit, he goes, do you hear yourself?
40:07
Speaker 2: I I was jumping up and I was saying, thank god, Jedie,
40:10
Speaker 2: you nailed it. A handful of them and you're.
40:13
Speaker 11: Saying, that's okay, It's unbelievable.
40:17
Speaker 2: This is why Trump's gonna win. This is Trump. Oh
40:21
Speaker 2: Buller Bueller.
40:24
Speaker 3: That is such a great line by jd Vance. Do
40:27
Speaker 3: you hear yourself? It just I think it shook Martha
40:32
Speaker 3: because it really is.
40:34
Speaker 2: Yeah.
40:34
Speaker 3: She literally said, it's just a handful of apartment buildings.
40:38
Speaker 3: You know, Donald Trump has been inaccurate. And Donald Trump
40:41
Speaker 3: got fact checked in that debate with Kamala Harris when
40:45
Speaker 3: he talked about the crime rate and they said, oh, no,
40:47
Speaker 3: the crimes less now, and when he mentioned, well, it's
40:50
Speaker 3: because some agencies aren't actually reporting, and they tried to
40:56
Speaker 3: say that wasn't accurate, and it actually was. So yet
41:00
Speaker 3: crime is a big issue. Legal immigration is a massive issue.
41:03
Speaker 3: And I think after the Kamala honeymoon has been gone,
41:09
Speaker 3: there's not much left that the Democrats are offering the
41:11
Speaker 3: American people's I'm not surprised the polls are collapsing for her.
41:16
Speaker 3: Horowitz always a pleasure. I thank you so much for
41:18
Speaker 3: your time. This evening still to come, Stephanie Bastian will
41:22
Speaker 3: tell us what Chris Min's support for a radical policy
41:26
Speaker 3: will mean for New South Wales women. Welcome back joining
41:38
Speaker 3: me now, Stephanie Bastian, Head of Advocacy at Women's Forum Australia. Stephanie,
41:44
Speaker 3: this won't come as a huge surprise. New South Wales
41:47
Speaker 3: Premier Chris Mins is supporting Alex Grienwich's equality Bill. He
41:51
Speaker 3: confirmed that while opening a new pre school in Liverpool.
41:55
Speaker 1: Alex Greenwich is amended equality Bill I think should pass
41:58
Speaker 1: the parliament. That's what I'll be recommend.
42:00
Speaker 3: The bill will be debated in New South Wales Parliament
42:03
Speaker 3: this week. Some of the most concerning aspects of the
42:06
Speaker 3: bill include the introduction of self ID, which will allow
42:10
Speaker 3: anyone to change their legal sex, including children, enabling males
42:15
Speaker 3: to legally identify as female for example, and access women's
42:20
Speaker 3: only spaces. Steph this could become law very quickly. What
42:25
Speaker 3: would it mean for women and girls in New South Wales.
42:29
Speaker 13: Well, good evening reader, it is very concerning that the
42:31
Speaker 13: Men's government have done a backflip on this bill. They've
42:35
Speaker 13: sort of been pushing it down the road and vacillating
42:37
Speaker 13: for nearly twelve months and suddenly there's this new version
42:39
Speaker 13: and they're now ramming it through. This is going to
42:42
Speaker 13: impact women and girls in particular, it takes away their
42:45
Speaker 13: right to privacy and safety of single sex spaces because
42:50
Speaker 13: entrenches into law men's rights to be protected under law
42:53
Speaker 13: as women. If, for example, you have a man undressing
42:57
Speaker 13: in a children or a female bar through and there's
43:01
Speaker 13: no avenue for women to complain, whereas once upon a
43:05
Speaker 13: time they could have, and in fact they're at risk
43:07
Speaker 13: of being prosecuted under these laws because they'll be protected
43:10
Speaker 13: under say the Discrimination Act. The opposition have formally opposed
43:15
Speaker 13: this bill, but they've only had two hours to read it.
43:17
Speaker 13: The debate started this afternoon. I imagine it'll probably be
43:21
Speaker 13: ran through tonight and then it'll go to the Upper
43:24
Speaker 13: House tomorrow. But this is just such a poor piece
43:28
Speaker 13: of legislation, and as we've seen in Queensland, where they've
43:30
Speaker 13: got sex self id laws, women are being prosecuted. These
43:34
Speaker 13: laws are intentional to change to protect men and to
43:39
Speaker 13: give them the laws that are afforded to that are
43:41
Speaker 13: meant to protect women.
43:44
Speaker 3: And it's incredible because these laws are being introduced without
43:48
Speaker 3: any sort of groundswell of support from the public. In fact,
43:52
Speaker 3: I would to say that if you put this to
43:54
Speaker 3: the public, the overwhelming majority would reject this sort of legislation.
43:59
Speaker 3: But here we are. How does New South Wales legislation
44:02
Speaker 3: compare to what's in place here in Victoria.
44:05
Speaker 13: You only need to have a certificate, So you can
44:08
Speaker 13: have a certificate saying that you're a woman. You go
44:10
Speaker 13: and change your ID at the registry office. They are
44:13
Speaker 13: not requiring any form of medical treatment or proof of
44:16
Speaker 13: that you've had a physical change, and you can then
44:19
Speaker 13: go and get documentation that says you're a woman, and
44:22
Speaker 13: then you're able to access all the protection spaces, sporting grounds, prison.
44:29
Speaker 2: Systems, you name it.
44:30
Speaker 13: It just changes the game and removes all those protections
44:34
Speaker 13: for women.
44:36
Speaker 3: You mentioned prison systems. Here in Victoria, we've got a
44:40
Speaker 3: male sex offender, at least one that we know of,
44:43
Speaker 3: who identifies as female and is now housed in a
44:46
Speaker 3: woman's prison, someone with a horrific history of offenses against
44:51
Speaker 3: women and children sexual offenses. Could that happen in New
44:55
Speaker 3: South Wales?
44:59
Speaker 13: Absolutely and unfortunately the government may have protocols in place
45:03
Speaker 13: that are allowing it. But the problem with these laws
45:05
Speaker 13: is that it entrenches it. It gives them legal rights.
45:08
Speaker 13: So if it's not, it will and then it is
45:11
Speaker 13: another piece of legislation that needs to be repealed. One
45:14
Speaker 13: thing that came up in sal Grover's case was that
45:17
Speaker 13: Justice Bromwich said that the legislators were very intentional when
45:21
Speaker 13: they changed these laws to allow people to change sex.
45:25
Speaker 13: And so this is very intentional legislation giving men this
45:28
Speaker 13: power to identify where and how they want so in
45:32
Speaker 13: terms of whether they access or whether they can go
45:35
Speaker 13: into female prisons, the legal mandate is now there to
45:37
Speaker 13: allow them to do that, regardless of what their offenses
45:40
Speaker 13: are and regardless of the safety risks to women.
45:44
Speaker 3: Now, finally, the University of Nevada's female volleyball team is
45:49
Speaker 3: the latest to forfoit matches against San Jose State, whose
45:52
Speaker 3: team includes a transgender player, Blair Fleming. However, the University
45:57
Speaker 3: of Nevada's management has contradicted the players, stating that the
46:01
Speaker 3: players refusal to play against San Jose does not represent
46:06
Speaker 3: the university's position and that it intends to proceed with
46:10
Speaker 3: the matcher. Players are finally taking a stand Stephanie refusing
46:15
Speaker 3: to participate in this fast that sees male bodies compete
46:19
Speaker 3: in women's sport, but the bureaucracy isn't standing with the athletes.
46:27
Speaker 13: Doesn't this just show the gap between the institutions and
46:30
Speaker 13: the public good on these women for pushing back.
46:33
Speaker 2: It is utterly unfair that female.
46:36
Speaker 13: Competitors have to play with biological males who have a
46:38
Speaker 13: physical and a physical advantage over them with their height
46:42
Speaker 13: and their strength. I do think that the only way
46:45
Speaker 13: that you're going to rectify the problem in sport is
46:47
Speaker 13: by female athletes boycotting games, because once you have male players,
46:51
Speaker 13: it's no longer a female competition. It's a mixed competition.
46:54
Speaker 13: So if these women don't churn up to play against
46:56
Speaker 13: these men, the rules will have to change because there
46:58
Speaker 13: won't be a competition. So all power to them, and
47:01
Speaker 13: I hope we see more of it happening here.
47:05
Speaker 3: And we've got to understand it's not just that the
47:07
Speaker 3: very elite level, the Olympic level, national championships. It's also
47:12
Speaker 3: at the lower levels and for young girls as well,
47:15
Speaker 3: when they work so hard to reach the height of
47:19
Speaker 3: their sport, to earn scholarships, to earn all sorts of opportunities,
47:23
Speaker 3: and to have that compromise by mediocre male athletes who
47:29
Speaker 3: would never get those opportunities in men's sport, I think
47:33
Speaker 3: it's just unacceptable, and for too long female athletes have
47:37
Speaker 3: been scared to take a stand.
47:39
Speaker 2: Staff. Yeah.
47:43
Speaker 13: Absolutely, And there's a train of thought that community level
47:47
Speaker 13: sport women are actually more at risk of injury because
47:49
Speaker 13: they're less conditioned to play and quite often their careers
47:55
Speaker 13: ended early. Community sport is often a stepping stone into
47:57
Speaker 13: elite sport. So if you get an injury in those
48:00
Speaker 13: early years, which is happening particularly in AFLW, We've had
48:04
Speaker 13: a number of women reach out since Caroline Marcus ran
48:07
Speaker 13: her story on AFLW where they've got life limiting injuries.
48:10
Speaker 13: They've not been out of work. It's a significant problem
48:13
Speaker 13: and it stops their career there and then so community
48:17
Speaker 13: sport it's a much greater risk than elite sport. All
48:20
Speaker 13: sports should be protected.
48:23
Speaker 3: Thank you for your time, Stephanie, and that's all I've
48:26
Speaker 3: got time for tonight. I'll see you tomorrow at eleven
48:29
Speaker 3: with Douglas Mara.
48:31
Speaker 2: Up.
48:31
Speaker 3: Next is Newsnight,
