Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: Good evening and welcome to the Bolt Report.
- 0:06Speaker 2: I'm Danikiti Giorgio coming up on the show. Tonight has
- 0:10Speaker 2: just begun, but already the Left can't wait to ruin it.
- 0:14Speaker 2: The change the date debate has begun once again.
- 0:17Speaker 1: I'll share my thoughts very shortly. The ABC is.
- 0:20Speaker 2: Under fire once again, this time from Robbie Williams. I'll
- 0:24Speaker 2: share with you later what he's had to say about
- 0:27Speaker 2: our ABC. US President Joe Biden has had another shocker,
- 0:32Speaker 2: preferring to watch a football game instead of reassuring the
- 0:35Speaker 2: nation after the New Orleans terror attack.
- 0:38Speaker 1: Just wait until you hear what Joe Biden has to say.
- 0:41Speaker 1: And Mac and Markle can't help herself. The Success of Sussex.
- 0:45Speaker 1: The Duchess of Sussex announces.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Her new Netflix TV show and it's as bad as
- 0:52Speaker 2: you think it will be. But first tonight today at
- 0:56Speaker 2: the Cricket a record forty five thousand through the gates
- 1:00Speaker 2: of the Sydney Cricket Ground, the highest day one crowd at.
- 1:04Speaker 1: The SCG for any test versus India.
- 1:07Speaker 2: How good to see all that national pride on display,
- 1:12Speaker 2: supporting our Aussies and cheering them on. And it's fair
- 1:16Speaker 2: to say being an Australian clearly means something and celebrating
- 1:22Speaker 2: that pride together is so important, and that is why
- 1:27Speaker 2: it is so baffling that the Left are still desperately
- 1:31Speaker 2: determined to keep the same old divisive narrative going and
- 1:36Speaker 2: break that sense of pride. Three days into the new year,
- 1:41Speaker 2: the self loathing has started. Perhaps it was wishful thinking
- 1:46Speaker 2: to assume we would get to January and not hear
- 1:49Speaker 2: about changing the.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Date of Australia Day, and that the race.
- 1:53Speaker 2: And identity politics would finally be parked. But how naive
- 1:58Speaker 2: of me as I read this morning historians have now recommended.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Moving Australia Day away.
- 2:04Speaker 2: From January twenty six to quote clear the deck.
- 2:09Speaker 1: Well, hang on a second. Wasn't that deck cleared.
- 2:13Speaker 2: When we were forced to go to the polls in
- 2:16Speaker 2: the middle of a cost of living crisis to vote
- 2:18Speaker 2: on the voice referendum? How many more decks are there
- 2:22Speaker 2: to clear before the wish of the majority is accepted.
- 2:27Speaker 2: C Q University historian doctor Benjamin Jones suggested a new
- 2:31Speaker 2: date might be the only way to resolve the clash.
- 2:34Speaker 2: He said, quote, I think most people agree there should
- 2:37Speaker 2: be a day to celebrate the good things about life
- 2:39Speaker 2: in Australia. That something most Indigenous and non Indigenous Australians
- 2:44Speaker 2: can get behind. And also it should be a day
- 2:46Speaker 2: that largely brings people together. I think some supporters of
- 2:51Speaker 2: January twenty six would concede that it is not a
- 2:54Speaker 2: day that unites us, at least not as much as
- 2:58Speaker 2: it did. Let's be clear, the arrival of British settlers happened.
- 3:04Speaker 1: That part of history.
- 3:06Speaker 2: Will forever remain, it can't be changed. But that was
- 3:09Speaker 2: also the official birthdate of modern Australia. And so to
- 3:15Speaker 2: say this is not a day that unites us is fascical.
- 3:18Speaker 1: It happened.
- 3:19Speaker 2: The hysteria is the problem here. We could move Australia
- 3:23Speaker 2: Day to any other date in the year and there
- 3:25Speaker 2: would be the usual outcry, no, I'm offended by that date.
- 3:29Speaker 1: No we can't do it.
- 3:30Speaker 2: Then we can't possibly move it to that date, and
- 3:33Speaker 2: all the while it makes zero difference to the lives
- 3:36Speaker 2: of Aboriginal people. Changing the date will not improve outcomes.
- 3:41Speaker 2: Whatever date it is, people still won't be happy.
- 3:44Speaker 1: This is surface level nonsense.
- 3:47Speaker 2: A and New historian Professor Angela Wollacott took it one
- 3:50Speaker 2: step further, She said, as a historian, we tend to
- 3:53Speaker 2: have long term views. I believe it is only a
- 3:56Speaker 2: matter of time until Australia becomes a republic and I
- 4:00Speaker 2: I think that is when we will have a very
- 4:01Speaker 2: clear day to be proud of. She went on to say,
- 4:04Speaker 2: when Australia becomes a republic, the date that takes effect
- 4:08Speaker 2: will be a very obvious Australia day when everyone could
- 4:11Speaker 2: feel united around that moment of national maturation. The debate
- 4:16Speaker 2: around January twenty six will go on forever and the
- 4:19Speaker 2: only way to just clear the deck is to have
- 4:21Speaker 2: a new date to feel good about the country. The
- 4:27Speaker 2: left always need to feel good about something, don't they.
- 4:31Speaker 2: I mean, the desperate attempts to tie themselves in knots
- 4:34Speaker 2: of guilt to feel better about themselves must be truly exhausting.
- 4:39Speaker 2: And to say the debate will go on forever, the
- 4:42Speaker 2: Voice gave us the answer to that the debate is over.
- 4:46Speaker 2: Australians overwhelmingly voted no to being divided by race. Sixty
- 4:51Speaker 2: percent of us said no to the Voice to Parliament
- 4:54Speaker 2: and no to being divided by the color of our skin.
- 4:58Speaker 2: And this is why it is so infuriated that Labor
- 5:00Speaker 2: are still tone deaf to the majority.
- 5:03Speaker 1: Its politics of racial division was on full.
- 5:05Speaker 2: Display this week when Labor MP Attika Wells had to
- 5:09Speaker 2: pause her press conference, not because she made a mistake
- 5:12Speaker 2: or because a journalist entered the room late, but because
- 5:16Speaker 2: she was not standing in front of the.
- 5:18Speaker 1: Apparent three flags of Australia.
- 5:22Speaker 3: Sorry, the flags in concassos even literally what I'm supposed
- 5:31Speaker 3: to do, well, love it, It's.
- 5:35Speaker 4: Just you can't see the toy Street islander.
- 5:42Speaker 3: Just bring it into the left of bed and bring
- 5:44Speaker 3: the Australian one a time, a closer to you.
- 5:46Speaker 4: Thank you, prefect.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Ye uncomfortable every time, isn't it.
- 5:53Speaker 2: I mean we can't possibly have the minister stand in
- 5:56Speaker 2: front of a blank.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Wall, let alone the three flags of the country.
- 6:00Speaker 2: And it's not even the Australian flag as you saw
- 6:02Speaker 2: there that she ends up standing in front of. It
- 6:05Speaker 2: was the Aboriginal What happened to one flag for one nation?
- 6:11Speaker 2: Over in Victoria. Melbourne' annual Australia Day Parade won't be
- 6:14Speaker 2: returning because January.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Twenty six means different things to different people, and.
- 6:18Speaker 2: On this day we encourage conversation and reflection on the
- 6:21Speaker 2: different meanings of the day for all Victorians. Why should
- 6:26Speaker 2: Labor try and destroy our national Day for a bunch
- 6:29Speaker 2: of activists, because it's actually destroying the very fibers that
- 6:33Speaker 2: make this country great too. And if you really want
- 6:36Speaker 2: to know what Labor truly thinks about National Day.
- 6:39Speaker 1: Have a listen to this.
- 6:41Speaker 5: I was a counselor about fifteen years ago in out
- 6:44Speaker 5: of suburban Melbourne and even back then, Australia Day was evolving.
- 6:49Speaker 5: And since that time, Australia Day has evolved further, and
- 6:53Speaker 5: it is fair to say that it has become somewhat
- 6:57Speaker 5: controversial in parts of our community. And I think we're
- 7:00Speaker 5: in an interesting transition at the moment with Australia Day.
- 7:04Speaker 2: Labor still has not quite yet grasp that playing the
- 7:07Speaker 2: race card is going to get you nowhere with Australians
- 7:10Speaker 2: who are fed up and tired of being placed into categories.
- 7:15Speaker 2: And this is even more crucial than ever under a
- 7:17Speaker 2: Labor government which has brought in a record number of
- 7:20Speaker 2: migrants since it took office, many of whom coming from
- 7:23Speaker 2: cultures with values that are so different to our own
- 7:27Speaker 2: and who don't.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Respect our culture.
- 7:30Speaker 2: We have hate preachers celebrating the October seven massacre. Flags
- 7:34Speaker 2: of terror groups being waved so brazenly in our streets,
- 7:38Speaker 2: and even a synagogue was firebombed. Meanwhile, more than one
- 7:42Speaker 2: hundred councils around the country won't hold Australia Day citizenship
- 7:46Speaker 2: ceremonies on January twenty sixth in case they are labeled
- 7:49Speaker 2: racist and defensive. They are so ashamed of who we
- 7:53Speaker 2: are as a country. Labor and the left, as I said,
- 7:56Speaker 2: a tone death to.
- 7:57Speaker 1: The will of the people won't come, but he is.
- 8:00Speaker 2: Like Woolworths have now backflipped on their Australia Day merchandise ban.
- 8:04Speaker 2: The Australian Venues Co reversed It's banned within a day
- 8:07Speaker 2: of trying to ban January twenty six celebrations at its pubs.
- 8:12Speaker 2: What's the old saying, go woke, go broke? And this
- 8:15Speaker 2: is the big test now for Labor. We are not
- 8:18Speaker 2: racist for loving this country. We are not racist for
- 8:22Speaker 2: being proud Australians. When will we say the debate has
- 8:27Speaker 2: been done? The people have spoken and on January twenty
- 8:31Speaker 2: six I look forward to celebrating the best country on Earth.
- 8:36Speaker 2: I feel lucky and proud to be an Australian and
- 8:39Speaker 2: I hope you do too. Joining me now is Liberal
- 8:45Speaker 2: MP Andrew Wallace.
- 8:46Speaker 1: Andrew, thank you so much for joining me. Nice to
- 8:49Speaker 1: see you.
- 8:49Speaker 2: I want to ask you about these tired debates we're
- 8:52Speaker 2: having every January the self loathing begins.
- 8:57Speaker 1: Didn't we settle this, Andrew when we voted no to
- 9:00Speaker 1: divisive Voice?
- 9:00Speaker 2: Why should we be made to feel year and year
- 9:03Speaker 2: out as though we can't be proud to celebrate on
- 9:05Speaker 2: January twenty.
- 9:06Speaker 6: Six, Happy new year, Denika, and a great editorial to
- 9:11Speaker 6: start your show.
- 9:12Speaker 4: Well done.
- 9:13Speaker 6: Look, the word woke was never really in mainstream vocabulary
- 9:22Speaker 6: until recently. I think I now had people stopping me
- 9:25Speaker 6: in the street, people I've never met before, constituents asking
- 9:30Speaker 6: me where is all this going? When is all this
- 9:33Speaker 6: woke nonsense going to stop? I think people have had
- 9:37Speaker 6: an absolute gutful and I'm not just talking about members
- 9:41Speaker 6: of the LMP or people who are involved in politics,
- 9:45Speaker 6: just every day average Australians have absolutely had enough. They
- 9:50Speaker 6: want government to get out of their lives. They're over
- 9:54Speaker 6: being told what's right and wrong, how they should think,
- 9:58Speaker 6: where they should buy, what they should do. Australians are
- 10:03Speaker 6: very friendly, peace loving people who are and should be
- 10:08Speaker 6: very very proud of this great country. The twenty sixth
- 10:13Speaker 6: of January my mum's birthday, Happy birthday coming up.
- 10:17Speaker 4: It's a very.
- 10:18Speaker 6: Special day where we recognize Australia and really we should
- 10:24Speaker 6: be incredibly proud of where we have come over the
- 10:27Speaker 6: last two hundred and nearly forty years. You know, this
- 10:32Speaker 6: country is an amazing country. Were the twelfth largest economy
- 10:36Speaker 6: in the world, and you know we're a very small
- 10:39Speaker 6: population twenty seven million people, and you know we box
- 10:43Speaker 6: well above our weight in so many areas, in sport,
- 10:47Speaker 6: in the economy, in industry. We're a great country and
- 10:53Speaker 6: we should be very very proud of what we have
- 10:55Speaker 6: managed to build.
- 10:58Speaker 2: I completely agree with you, and we shouldn't feel shamed
- 11:02Speaker 2: into not being proud to celebrate our national day. It's
- 11:05Speaker 2: just out of control. We voted not to the voice
- 11:07Speaker 2: and we need to move on eventually. Now I want
- 11:11Speaker 2: to talk to you about former Home Affairs Chief Mike Pizzolo.
- 11:14Speaker 1: Today.
- 11:14Speaker 2: He's warning that ISIS is seeking to exploit anger over Palestine.
- 11:19Speaker 1: In Muslim communities. It comes after.
- 11:21Speaker 2: Fifteen people were killed in New Orleans yesterday in an
- 11:24Speaker 2: ISIS inspired attack. Andrew, how confident are you that Labor
- 11:29Speaker 2: is doing all it can to protect us here in Australia.
- 11:35Speaker 6: Look on the dep each Air of the Intelligence and
- 11:37Speaker 6: Security Committee. I would like to be able to say
- 11:40Speaker 6: to you, Danika, that I have confidence in this Labor government.
- 11:45Speaker 4: I don't.
- 11:46Speaker 6: Unfortunately, I certainly don't have confidence in Tony Burk as
- 11:50Speaker 6: the responsible minister. I do have confidence in our intelligence services.
- 11:56Speaker 6: Our intelligence services, both domestic and foreign, world best led
- 12:03Speaker 6: by and worked in by amazing Australians, who very patriotic
- 12:09Speaker 6: Australians who work day and night to keep Australian safe.
- 12:13Speaker 6: We are very very fortunate to have such hard working
- 12:18Speaker 6: people in our intelligence services and our security services. Look
- 12:23Speaker 6: when Mike Pizzulo speaks, Australian governments should listen. I think
- 12:28Speaker 6: Mike Bizzulo is much maligned. I think he should never
- 12:31Speaker 6: have lost his job.
- 12:34Speaker 4: Mike Pizzulo.
- 12:36Speaker 6: Was a terrific Secretary of the Home Affairs Department, and
- 12:43Speaker 6: you know he is now warning this country about the
- 12:47Speaker 6: potential risks that are being faced from ISIS, particularly in
- 12:52Speaker 6: relation to as a result of Syria, the raging downfalling there.
- 13:00Speaker 6: I was in the un Last year, Denika I gave
- 13:03Speaker 6: a speech to the Assembly about the importance of keeping
- 13:07Speaker 6: our eye on the ball in relation to counter terrorism efforts.
- 13:14Speaker 6: Now we know that we have a big game that
- 13:17Speaker 6: we've got to watch in relation to the Great Powers contest,
- 13:21Speaker 6: in relation to China and Russia.
- 13:23Speaker 4: That's clear, but we've got to walk in chee gum.
- 13:26Speaker 6: At the same time, the risks that we face as
- 13:29Speaker 6: a Western country have not dissipated. If anything, now they've
- 13:34Speaker 6: stepped up. And I absolutely agree with Mike Rivulo.
- 13:39Speaker 2: It is certainly definitely a concern and something that Labor,
- 13:42Speaker 2: as you said, should pay attention to.
- 13:45Speaker 1: Now I'm going to ask you about Simon.
- 13:46Speaker 2: Holmes, a court the activist and businessman, has compared popularity
- 13:51Speaker 2: to that of Look, I know I don't want to,
- 13:53Speaker 2: but I've got no choice here, to that of sex
- 13:56Speaker 2: offender Rolf Harris. Now, of course, I mean we've all
- 13:59Speaker 2: seen the picture the former Prime Minister posted that he
- 14:02Speaker 2: spent New Year's Eve with Donald Trump at marri Lago.
- 14:05Speaker 2: Andrew this is a complete disgrace, and this is the
- 14:08Speaker 2: second time in a week.
- 14:09Speaker 1: We saw it.
- 14:10Speaker 2: A couple of days ago when the Victorian Labor Branch
- 14:13Speaker 2: posted about Peter Dutton.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Is this the sort of grubby politics that we can
- 14:18Speaker 1: expect now in the lead up to the election.
- 14:21Speaker 6: To make the Anthony Albernezi when he was the opposition
- 14:26Speaker 6: leader coming into the last election, he promised a kind
- 14:29Speaker 6: of gentler parliament. The Teals promised a new way of
- 14:34Speaker 6: doing things in parliament. I got to tell you, if anything,
- 14:38Speaker 6: things have gotten a lot worse. You know, Simon Holmes
- 14:43Speaker 6: a court for him to have said what he said
- 14:45Speaker 6: about about Scott Morrison is an absolute disgrace, you know,
- 14:51Speaker 6: for him to be effectively the major donor of the Teals.
- 14:57Speaker 4: Now that where are.
- 14:58Speaker 6: The Teals on this Tills to the my knowledge, haven't
- 15:02Speaker 6: come out today and disowned these statements.
- 15:08Speaker 4: You know, he is their major funder. And here you are.
- 15:13Speaker 4: You've effectively got.
- 15:16Speaker 6: The major funder of the Tials denigrating not just a
- 15:20Speaker 6: former Prime minister in Scott Morrison, but he's also effectively
- 15:25Speaker 6: denigrating the relationship between Australia and the United States.
- 15:28Speaker 4: Now.
- 15:29Speaker 7: I indicated earlier that we're in a period of great
- 15:33Speaker 7: our world powers, great great challenges that we're facing between
- 15:38Speaker 7: the West and Russia and China.
- 15:42Speaker 4: Our greatest ally is the United States.
- 15:44Speaker 6: And here you've got Simon Holmes of Court effectively making
- 15:51Speaker 6: fun of Scott Morrison for going to the party with
- 15:57Speaker 6: Donald Trump. It's mocking the most important relationship that we've got.
- 16:03Speaker 6: And once again the Teals silence is breathtaking.
- 16:09Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 16:10Speaker 2: Yeah, the Teals are mute to the man who is
- 16:13Speaker 2: effectively bankrolling their political career.
- 16:16Speaker 1: So say no more.
- 16:17Speaker 2: Look, we're almost out of time, but very quickly, the
- 16:20Speaker 2: nation's most powerful energy bosses are calling for policy certainty
- 16:23Speaker 2: across all levels of government in the here ear ahead
- 16:26Speaker 2: to ensure a more efficient and prosperous transition to renewable
- 16:31Speaker 2: energy ahead of a federal election. The executives pointed to
- 16:34Speaker 2: the crucial need for clarity and uniformity.
- 16:38Speaker 1: I mean, Andrew.
- 16:39Speaker 2: It seems that the energy sector is also totally in
- 16:41Speaker 2: the dark as well about how we move forward under
- 16:44Speaker 2: labels renewables only pipe dream.
- 16:48Speaker 4: Well, Denigan. No other economy developed economy.
- 16:52Speaker 6: In the world has managed to do what Chris Bowen
- 16:55Speaker 6: says that Australia is going to do, and that's effectively
- 16:58Speaker 6: go to a full renewables No other country has been
- 17:02Speaker 6: able to do that. Germany tried and is now reopening
- 17:06Speaker 6: Mothboard Couli fired power stations. And you know, if Chris
- 17:11Speaker 6: Bowen keeps, if he says one more time that renewables
- 17:15Speaker 6: are the cheapest form of energy, you know, why is
- 17:19Speaker 6: my power bill? Why is my power bill skyrocketing? Why
- 17:23Speaker 6: is everybody's power bills skyrocketing? The reality is Chris Bowen
- 17:28Speaker 6: is you know, he's doubling down, He's putting everything on black.
- 17:33Speaker 6: And you know that's fine if Chris Bowen, if it
- 17:36Speaker 6: was just for Chris Bowen, but what is effectively doing
- 17:39Speaker 6: is he is de industrializing this country and Australians.
- 17:43Speaker 4: Long after Chris.
- 17:44Speaker 6: Bowen has has gone away, I wish it was tomorrow,
- 17:47Speaker 6: But long after he's gone away, Australians will be paying
- 17:51Speaker 6: the price for Chris Bowen's folly.
- 17:54Speaker 2: Absolutely and the future generations to come. Meanwhile, we're all
- 17:58Speaker 2: being plunged into darkness with no plans to keep the
- 18:01Speaker 2: lights on. Andrew Wallace, good to see you, Happy New Year,
- 18:04Speaker 2: Thank you very much for joining me on the show
- 18:06Speaker 2: this evening. Well you'll recall the ABC's nine pm fireworks
- 18:10Speaker 2: display on New Years, which wasn't a celebration of Australia
- 18:14Speaker 2: rather a propaganda piece complete with racially charged fireworks and
- 18:19Speaker 2: of course, as always a side of welcome to country.
- 18:22Speaker 2: And it's going from bad to worse for the public
- 18:25Speaker 2: broadcasters coverage because singer Robbie Williams, who performed during the night,
- 18:30Speaker 2: has also taken a swipe after being criticized for promoting
- 18:33Speaker 2: his new biopic During the coverage, the singer said, I'm
- 18:37Speaker 2: here to sell my e fing movie You Twits, you book,
- 18:42Speaker 2: Robbie Williams. You get Robbie Williams. Is the ABC funded
- 18:46Speaker 2: by you guys?
- 18:47Speaker 1: Is that what it is? Oh?
- 18:49Speaker 2: Soz Australia Chopy now is Skinny's host at Caroline de Russo, Caroline,
- 18:54Speaker 2: good to see you. I mean even Robbie Williams is
- 18:58Speaker 2: into the ABC now as well.
- 19:00Speaker 8: He's worked it out. He works it out very very quickly. Yes,
- 19:03Speaker 8: we are paying for it. But you know what the
- 19:04Speaker 8: ABC actually showed with that precise comment is how much
- 19:08Speaker 8: they are totally disconnected from the rest of us. He's
- 19:11Speaker 8: just released a movie and yes he needs to promote it.
- 19:15Speaker 8: He needs to come out here, he needs to see people,
- 19:17Speaker 8: He needs to shake his money maker, he needs to
- 19:19Speaker 8: hustle to earn a living, which is precisely what the
- 19:22Speaker 8: ABC doesn't have to do. It can be as slovenly,
- 19:26Speaker 8: morbidly obese ineffectual as it likes the courtesy of the
- 19:30Speaker 8: Australian taxpayer.
- 19:31Speaker 2: Always and put on these racially charged fireworks totally and
- 19:34Speaker 2: we have to just sit there through. And it was
- 19:36Speaker 2: basically a thirty minute Welcome to countries.
- 19:38Speaker 8: So you can just imagine the eye rolling, the eye rolling,
- 19:42Speaker 8: or just people just grabbing the remote and just going nah.
- 19:45Speaker 1: I would actually love.
- 19:46Speaker 8: To see those figures because we know they can track
- 19:49Speaker 8: that sort of stuff. How many people got to the
- 19:51Speaker 8: Welcome to the country and just switched.
- 19:52Speaker 1: And switched off? It's just I mean we've had there's
- 19:55Speaker 1: one percented estimates. Yeah for just saying yeah, exactly, Now
- 19:59Speaker 1: let's move. Because a stark.
- 20:01Speaker 2: Gender divide has emerged on major political issues with Australia,
- 20:05Speaker 2: and I thought this was quite interesting, Caroline, because it
- 20:08Speaker 2: found that men are more supportive of nuclear energy and
- 20:10Speaker 2: are worried about extreme left wing views as opposed to women,
- 20:14Speaker 2: who are more aggrieved by soaring living costs and have
- 20:17Speaker 2: a lower trust in government.
- 20:19Speaker 1: Why do you think that this is why do you
- 20:21Speaker 1: think that.
- 20:21Speaker 2: Men are more inclined to support nuclear and how do
- 20:25Speaker 2: you think that this is going to play out in
- 20:27Speaker 2: the election.
- 20:29Speaker 8: I think we always have to be a bit careful
- 20:30Speaker 8: with these things where we make these sorts of generalizations.
- 20:33Speaker 1: But you know, you look at the sorts of jobs
- 20:36Speaker 1: that blokes.
- 20:37Speaker 8: Do compared to, as a general rule, the jobs that
- 20:40Speaker 8: women do. You've got blokes who are out working on construction.
- 20:43Speaker 8: You know, you see these pieces in the online news
- 20:47Speaker 8: that are like, everyone.
- 20:48Speaker 1: Should just catch the train to work.
- 20:50Speaker 8: Well, if you're a tradee and you've got tools, no
- 20:52Speaker 8: one's catching the train to a construction site, right, right,
- 20:55Speaker 8: So they just depending on what your everyday life looks like,
- 20:59Speaker 8: you may have different views if you have a look.
- 21:02Speaker 1: And the US is a great example of this. When
- 21:05Speaker 1: you have a look at.
- 21:07Speaker 8: The way the Democrats lost that younger male vote, well
- 21:11Speaker 8: that there goes towards that whole you know, question mark
- 21:16Speaker 8: over far left wing views that maybe if you haven't
- 21:20Speaker 8: seen that sort of peel off from women, or maybe
- 21:23Speaker 8: that's why they're less concerned about it. And then you know,
- 21:26Speaker 8: and again, sorry to make the generalization, but I'm pretty
- 21:29Speaker 8: sure in most households, the women are doing the grocery shopping,
- 21:32Speaker 8: and I'm sure that every time you go to the
- 21:34Speaker 8: supermarket and you see the prices of certain things increase,
- 21:38Speaker 8: that those cost of living issues every week, I reckon
- 21:42Speaker 8: going to the supermarket be very, very stressful for some people,
- 21:45Speaker 8: So you could understand why that there might be a concern.
- 21:48Speaker 8: So when we look at these things, it's not just
- 21:50Speaker 8: because of generalizations, but if we look at the sorts
- 21:54Speaker 8: of roles and jobs that people have, you can understand
- 21:57Speaker 8: why they have different priorities or different touch points depending
- 22:01Speaker 8: on their experience.
- 22:01Speaker 2: I agree, And you make an interesting point about the
- 22:03Speaker 2: US because it was the young males who actually.
- 22:06Speaker 1: Got don we're out of here.
- 22:07Speaker 2: Well, yeah, they were done, and they did get him
- 22:09Speaker 2: over the line based on that policy. So and again
- 22:12Speaker 2: I don't want to make generalizations here, but I just
- 22:14Speaker 2: wonder if that is something that is now happening in
- 22:17Speaker 2: Australia as well, with these young men are getting angry
- 22:21Speaker 2: and they have every right to be, and they're more
- 22:23Speaker 2: inclined to go okay, we need to make changes for
- 22:26Speaker 2: the future.
- 22:26Speaker 1: So I think that's an interesting point.
- 22:28Speaker 2: Now I'm going to tell you I've talked to you
- 22:29Speaker 2: about a billionaire Clive Palmer.
- 22:31Speaker 1: This is utterly weird. I don't know what to make
- 22:34Speaker 1: of this personally.
- 22:34Speaker 2: But he's applied to trademark the terms Teal and Clive
- 22:38Speaker 2: and Pauline Party. In fact, he has applied to trademark
- 22:42Speaker 2: Teal Teals, the Teal Party, OZ Teal, and the Clive
- 22:45Speaker 2: and Pauline Party on November eighteen.
- 22:48Speaker 1: I'm not sure that Pauline Hanson would.
- 22:49Speaker 2: Be particularly thrilled to have her name alongside Clive Palmer.
- 22:54Speaker 1: I wonder if surprised if you're watching, but what on
- 22:57Speaker 1: earth is he doing here? Absolutely no idea.
- 23:01Speaker 8: Absolutely I read this. I was like, look, I've got
- 23:04Speaker 8: I've got nothing here. Clivehalmer loves his politics. There is
- 23:10Speaker 8: one seat in the Senate which which is his. That's
- 23:14Speaker 8: Ralph Ralph bab. I mean that there is singularly the
- 23:16Speaker 8: most expensive Senate seat in the history of Australian politics.
- 23:21Speaker 8: So he's got cash, he's got the interest. I just
- 23:23Speaker 8: don't think he's got the policy, the strategy or the tactics.
- 23:26Speaker 8: And I'm not sure how this is going to help.
- 23:29Speaker 2: No, I don't think it's going to help either. I
- 23:31Speaker 2: don't know why he wants to trademark himself as he
- 23:33Speaker 2: still tills and the Till party and all three. It
- 23:36Speaker 2: just sounds yeah, look, I think just relevance deprivation from
- 23:41Speaker 2: possibly settling in there. Now we've got to talk about
- 23:44Speaker 2: Megan Markle because obviously yesterday she made her long awaited
- 23:47Speaker 2: return to Instagram. Unfortunately may I may I say it that,
- 23:52Speaker 2: But now she's surprised us, all Caroline. She is going
- 23:56Speaker 2: back on Netflix. She has launched a brand new series.
- 24:00Speaker 2: It's an eight episode lifestyle series. Look, have a look
- 24:03Speaker 2: at the trailer.
- 24:04Speaker 1: Please play it.
- 24:07Speaker 9: I've always loved teating something pretty ordinary and elevating it well,
- 24:12Speaker 9: surprising people with moments that let them know I was
- 24:15Speaker 9: really thinking of them.
- 24:18Speaker 5: What this is probably one of the most glamorous moments
- 24:22Speaker 5: of my life.
- 24:25Speaker 1: Oh gosh, it's just tragic.
- 24:26Speaker 2: So it apparently reimagines the genre of lifestyle programming whatever
- 24:32Speaker 2: whatever that is supposed to mean.
- 24:34Speaker 1: Well, what is she playing at here? I'm not entirely sure.
- 24:37Speaker 8: And when I look at it, there's nothing about it
- 24:39Speaker 8: that is particularly novel. There's been plenty of criticism about
- 24:44Speaker 8: it being unrelatable, which sure, and I mean I cook
- 24:47Speaker 8: a lot and I'm sure you Yeah, I I never
- 24:50Speaker 8: looked quite that printed when I'm in the kid just saying.
- 24:52Speaker 2: Well you don't want to have a camera crew now
- 24:54Speaker 2: you're in the kitchen.
- 24:55Speaker 8: But I'm not quite sure who the market is for
- 24:58Speaker 8: the waterfront trad wife.
- 25:00Speaker 1: Yeah right, I'm not sure. I'm not sure who's watching this.
- 25:04Speaker 8: It'll be very very interesting to see, no doubt. I
- 25:07Speaker 8: mean it's eight episodes, but no doubt there'll be there'll
- 25:09Speaker 8: be plenty to discuss about this going further. But I
- 25:12Speaker 8: just don't think that she does anything new, and I
- 25:15Speaker 8: don't think there's anything about her as an individual that
- 25:20Speaker 8: makes her special enough to be able to carry whatever
- 25:23Speaker 8: this genre is.
- 25:24Speaker 1: That being said, I actually do wish you well. Everything
- 25:27Speaker 1: else has been a bit of.
- 25:28Speaker 8: A train wreck, and I feel like she's I do
- 25:31Speaker 8: there's a little part of me that just wants her
- 25:34Speaker 8: to get one thing right.
- 25:36Speaker 2: Well, I don't think this is it. I now is
- 25:39Speaker 2: writing her name in the sand. It's so nice, it's
- 25:44Speaker 2: just terrible.
- 25:45Speaker 1: You're going to be back.
- 25:46Speaker 2: Later tonight with the Royal Report at nine pm.
- 25:48Speaker 1: Australian Eastern daylight time. We're going to get your full
- 25:50Speaker 1: views and a lot. You're going to get all of it.
- 25:53Speaker 1: You're going to get all of it.
- 25:54Speaker 8: And we've got our panel and we've got our expert
- 25:57Speaker 8: from London, so everyone's going to have plenty to say
- 26:00Speaker 8: on this and.
- 26:00Speaker 2: We can't wait to hear at Caroline deruy so always
- 26:02Speaker 2: nice to catch up. Thank you so much for joining
- 26:04Speaker 2: me on the show this evening. We'll stay with us.
- 26:06Speaker 2: Coming up after the break. US President Joe Biden has
- 26:09Speaker 2: another shocker, preferring to watch a football game instead of
- 26:12Speaker 2: reassuring the nation after the New Orleans terror attack.
- 26:15Speaker 1: Just wait until you hear what Joe Biden has to
- 26:18Speaker 1: say straight after this.
- 26:23Speaker 2: Times of crisis, we need strong leadership, and until January twenty,
- 26:28Speaker 2: the United States is stuck with sleepy, same old Joe Biden. Now,
- 26:34Speaker 2: America is still reeling from an ISIS inspired terror attack,
- 26:38Speaker 2: and the leader of the free world seemed more eager
- 26:41Speaker 2: to wrap up a press conference on the incident so
- 26:44Speaker 2: he could watch the football.
- 26:46Speaker 4: And we're seeing that today the Sugar Bowl is back on.
- 26:50Speaker 4: Kickoff is going to take off very shortly. If I
- 26:53Speaker 4: don't get this damn thing done, we're going to be
- 26:54Speaker 4: in real trouble.
- 26:57Speaker 2: Joining me now, is filmmaker Army Horowitz. Army, thank you
- 27:00Speaker 2: so much for your time. I personally thought this was
- 27:03Speaker 2: not the right tone at all. In fact, I find
- 27:06Speaker 2: it baffling when you've got families planning funerals and the
- 27:09Speaker 2: leader of the free world is more interested in football.
- 27:12Speaker 1: How do you make sense of that?
- 27:15Speaker 10: Yeah, look, I mean as you know, I call as
- 27:18Speaker 10: I see it right, And frankly, I'm not sure.
- 27:22Speaker 4: It's a fair criticism.
- 27:22Speaker 10: Let's let's let's be honest. I don't think it's fair
- 27:26Speaker 10: to say he cares more about football than what's happening.
- 27:28Speaker 10: I think he was his point when I read his comments,
- 27:31Speaker 10: and I have been as critical of Joe Biden as
- 27:34Speaker 10: anybody else, and he was simply saying, look, he wants
- 27:37Speaker 10: the football game to happen. He's glad it happened. He
- 27:39Speaker 10: wants us to be normalized in terms of the way
- 27:42Speaker 10: we are living our lives, you know, the whole adage,
- 27:45Speaker 10: and not let the terrorists win. I think it's true here.
- 27:48Speaker 10: I don't think he was making a comment to say, hey,
- 27:50Speaker 10: football is more important. Although I'm a huge football fan,
- 27:52Speaker 10: so I do love football. But yeah, I don't think
- 27:55Speaker 10: it's fair to say he thought it.
- 27:56Speaker 4: Was more important.
- 27:57Speaker 1: Didn't I didn't. I got I just didn't see the this.
- 28:00Speaker 10: Particular comment as inappropriate or overstepping. I could be crazy,
- 28:06Speaker 10: but I didn't read it as a significant problem.
- 28:08Speaker 1: Well, I disagree.
- 28:09Speaker 2: I think the timing and his wording in particular was inappropriate.
- 28:13Speaker 2: That sort of the timing right now is not right
- 28:16Speaker 2: and people are looking to leaders during times of crisis,
- 28:20Speaker 2: and I think that those comments were wrong and tone deaf.
- 28:24Speaker 1: But look, speaking of the terror attack.
- 28:26Speaker 2: Prior to the incident, Joe Biden and his administration repeatedly
- 28:30Speaker 2: stressed that the greatest threat facing the country was white supremacy.
- 28:35Speaker 1: Fox News reports he said, according to.
- 28:37Speaker 2: The intelligence community, terrorism from white supremacy is the most
- 28:41Speaker 2: lethal threat to the homeland today. Not isis not al Qaeder,
- 28:46Speaker 2: white supremacist now army. These comments were made back in
- 28:49Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. Obviously, white the supremacy is a big issue.
- 28:54Speaker 1: But does the West.
- 28:55Speaker 2: Only have itself to blame for turning a blind eye
- 28:57Speaker 2: to the threat of Islamic terror because this is not
- 29:00Speaker 2: a new threat.
- 29:01Speaker 1: The West is not next.
- 29:03Speaker 2: It's happening to the West now as it has been
- 29:06Speaker 2: for some time.
- 29:07Speaker 10: Yeah, and By the way, Joe Biden made those comments
- 29:10Speaker 10: as recently as twenty twenty three when.
- 29:12Speaker 1: He was at Howard University.
- 29:14Speaker 10: A've talked about white supremacy as the most significant threat
- 29:18Speaker 10: facing our country. Look, I don't want to downplay the
- 29:20Speaker 10: issues of white supremacy. It's a massive issue. It's not nothing.
- 29:24Speaker 10: People have been murdered by white supremacists. In fact, Look,
- 29:28Speaker 10: I do show prep for you, right, I don't just
- 29:29Speaker 10: walk in here and make comments willy nilly, and I
- 29:32Speaker 10: went through all the terrorist attacks in the US of
- 29:35Speaker 10: the last five years, and there have been almost two dozen.
- 29:38Speaker 10: People have actually as much as two dozen have been
- 29:40Speaker 10: killed by white supremacists over the last five years. More
- 29:45Speaker 10: people have been killed by Islamic terrorism, many that we
- 29:48Speaker 10: don't even remember. I went, there's a whole list of people.
- 29:51Speaker 10: I was like, God, I didn't even know about that
- 29:52Speaker 10: particular attack. But to gas light us and say it
- 29:57Speaker 10: is the most significant problem that we have had is ridiculous.
- 30:01Speaker 4: It's crazy.
- 30:02Speaker 10: And by the way, not just him, and so the
- 30:04Speaker 10: reason why we have a problem with our you know,
- 30:06Speaker 10: you know, people talk about the deep state, how insane
- 30:09Speaker 10: it is that all these quote unquote maga supporters don't
- 30:13Speaker 10: believe or trust the FBI. The FBI Department of Justice
- 30:17Speaker 10: has repeatedly echoed those comments about white supremacy, not mentioning
- 30:22Speaker 10: the Islamic threat when more people have been killed by
- 30:25Speaker 10: Islamic terrorists in the last five years than have been
- 30:28Speaker 10: killed by white supremacist Again, not to downplay Waite supremacy.
- 30:31Speaker 10: It is an issue, but look it is they're talk
- 30:35Speaker 10: Why are we're doing this is because we want to
- 30:37Speaker 10: have an idea of Hey, we don't want to look
- 30:40Speaker 10: at Islamic people or Islam or or as a problem
- 30:43Speaker 10: in our country, and it's safe and okay to attack
- 30:47Speaker 10: white people. White supremacy is what's all about, right, It's
- 30:50Speaker 10: racial politics. This attack with isis this is nothing new.
- 30:56Speaker 10: In the last in twenty twenty four, it was a
- 30:58Speaker 10: big year for ISIS. Okay, six there have been six
- 31:01Speaker 10: major attacks that were actually carried out or thwarted.
- 31:05Speaker 1: The other thing.
- 31:06Speaker 10: By the way, again talking about Islamic terrorism not being
- 31:10Speaker 10: a massive issue, again to the research. In twenty twenty four,
- 31:13Speaker 10: over a thousand people have been killed by Islamic terrorists globally.
- 31:20Speaker 10: This is an issue we need to deal with. We
- 31:23Speaker 10: haven't been dealing with it because it's not politic correct,
- 31:27Speaker 10: and this is one of the reasons why Trump was
- 31:30Speaker 10: elected and one of the reason why Joe Biden longer
- 31:32Speaker 10: in office. People don't want to play these games anymore
- 31:35Speaker 10: now when lives are at stake. So yeah, I think
- 31:37Speaker 10: it's it's gas lading. I think it's gross. I think
- 31:40Speaker 10: it's one of the reasons why we have President Trump.
- 31:42Speaker 10: I think that's a great thing.
- 31:43Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, and I think that there is some hope
- 31:45Speaker 2: that Donald Trump will make changes come at January twenty.
- 31:49Speaker 1: Look, let's move on to other matters.
- 31:51Speaker 2: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Ettina, who says he's okayed sending
- 31:54Speaker 2: in a delegation for talks to cutter on a hostage.
- 31:58Speaker 1: Ceasefire deal in Gaza Mey.
- 32:00Speaker 2: This latest announcement came after reports that the negotiations between
- 32:04Speaker 2: Israel and Hamas had reached an impass. But is this
- 32:07Speaker 2: latest news any sort of progress do you think?
- 32:11Speaker 10: Look, we've had fits and starts with this before, so
- 32:14Speaker 10: it's really tough to tell until a deal gets done.
- 32:16Speaker 10: I think the more important question is why are we
- 32:18Speaker 10: having it now. We haven't had talks in quite a while.
- 32:21Speaker 10: I think The answer is obvious. It's the Trump effect.
- 32:24Speaker 10: I want to rewind into the inauguration of Ronald Reagan.
- 32:28Speaker 10: For over a year, there were American hostages in Iran,
- 32:33Speaker 10: and the Carter administration was negotiating for months and months
- 32:38Speaker 10: to get them out. We even send troops in where
- 32:41Speaker 10: all of them got killed. Yet minutes after Ronald Reagan's inaugurated,
- 32:47Speaker 10: the hostage were releases. I think that his echoes what
- 32:49Speaker 10: we see with Donald Trump now. I think let's not
- 32:52Speaker 10: forget that he's already had an effective foreign policy cut
- 32:56Speaker 10: a where negotiations are happening. They kicked Kamas out as
- 32:59Speaker 10: a base.
- 33:00Speaker 4: Why.
- 33:01Speaker 10: I think it's obvious why they're afraid of what Trump
- 33:04Speaker 10: will do if they're still a haven for Hamas. I
- 33:08Speaker 10: think these negotiations are direct effect the Kamas saying. Look,
- 33:12Speaker 10: Trump was clear, he said, if he is president and
- 33:14Speaker 10: the goat and these hostages are still held by Hamas,
- 33:18Speaker 10: there will be hell to pay. Now, with the Bido administration,
- 33:21Speaker 10: it was the opposite. He was blaming Israel. He was
- 33:24Speaker 10: stopping weapons from going to Israel. Now the tables of
- 33:27Speaker 10: turn Now with Trump in office, Hamas is scared. That's
- 33:31Speaker 10: why the negotiations are happening now. It's going to make
- 33:33Speaker 10: no mistake about Trump effect is clear. It's wide arranging
- 33:37Speaker 10: and it's surely having an effect as we see it
- 33:39Speaker 10: today with the negotiation and the cutter.
- 33:41Speaker 2: I agree, Ami Horowitz. Always good to speak with you.
- 33:44Speaker 2: Thank you for joining me on the show. This evening
- 33:45Speaker 2: pleasure is mine. After the break, the left proved once
- 33:50Speaker 2: again just how low they can go.
- 33:53Speaker 1: Just wait until you hear the lightest disgusting remarks. That's next.
- 34:01Speaker 1: Welcome back.
- 34:01Speaker 2: Returning now to that earlier story, former Home Affairs Chief
- 34:04Speaker 2: Mike Pozzulo is warning a revitalized Islamic state is seeking
- 34:09Speaker 2: to exploit anger over Palestine in Muslim communities as fears
- 34:13Speaker 2: grow the terror group is on the cusp of a
- 34:15Speaker 2: second global wave of carnage after a US terror attack
- 34:19Speaker 2: killed fifteen people.
- 34:20Speaker 1: It comes as the Coalition WARN's Labour's migration policies.
- 34:23Speaker 2: Could open Australia to similar vulnerabilities as the US. Joining
- 34:28Speaker 2: me is former Speaker of the House Bromwin Bishop and
- 34:31Speaker 2: Sky News contributor Rocco Leacono. Thank you to both of
- 34:34Speaker 2: you for joining me. Good to see you. Bromen will
- 34:37Speaker 2: start with you. We know that almost three thousand Palestinians
- 34:40Speaker 2: have been granted entry to Australia since the October seven
- 34:43Speaker 2: attack with little to no security vetting. How can we
- 34:47Speaker 2: be sure that who we are letting in is safe.
- 34:51Speaker 11: Well, Daniga, very simply, we can't. And I think we
- 34:55Speaker 11: have to see it against two things. Firstly, that focious, vile, brutal,
- 35:02Speaker 11: vicious attack by invading Israel by Hamas on the seventh
- 35:06Speaker 11: of October was designed to ensure that there would be
- 35:11Speaker 11: a response from Israel, and there was nothing that grew
- 35:16Speaker 11: out of that reaction of Israel. It was planned and
- 35:20Speaker 11: there were cells obviously all around the world, including here
- 35:23Speaker 11: in Sydney where we saw that demonstration at the Opera
- 35:26Speaker 11: House before Israel had responded at all. And so we
- 35:31Speaker 11: know that there is a concerted effort of disruption of
- 35:37Speaker 11: the peace of countries all around the world and firing
- 35:41Speaker 11: up with anti Semitism. So against that background, to have
- 35:45Speaker 11: a labor government here allowed three thousand people from that
- 35:49Speaker 11: area to come to Australia without proper checks puts us
- 35:54Speaker 11: all at risk. And the reason it was done was
- 35:57Speaker 11: to appease the Muslim voter in the electorates of particularly
- 36:03Speaker 11: Labor ministers. Now that is a government that is simply
- 36:07Speaker 11: abrogating its responsibility to the Australian people. And Mike Bozula
- 36:11Speaker 11: is quite right to point out that there is added
- 36:14Speaker 11: danger for us.
- 36:17Speaker 2: Yeah, it's basically selling out our values for votes and
- 36:21Speaker 2: it is a disgrace. Rocco, is Labor taking the threat
- 36:25Speaker 2: of Islamic extremism seriously enough.
- 36:27Speaker 1: In your view?
- 36:28Speaker 12: Well, based on what we've seen so far, it leads
- 36:31Speaker 12: a lot to be desired. We've seen this half hearted
- 36:34Speaker 12: condemnation of Islamic preachers who've been rejoicing over October seven,
- 36:39Speaker 12: and as Broman indicated, we've got this Labor government which
- 36:44Speaker 12: has abandoned decades of bipartisanship on Israel by abandoning Israel
- 36:49Speaker 12: at the UN again to appease a domestic domestic voters,
- 36:54Speaker 12: and maybe because this Labor government doesn't actually believe unlike
- 36:58Speaker 12: Bob Hook who said very clearly that the commitment to
- 37:02Speaker 12: Australia meant that doesn't matter where you came from, you
- 37:05Speaker 12: were committed to our values, as you mentioned earlier, which
- 37:07Speaker 12: are the rule of law, parliamentary democracy, English as the
- 37:10Speaker 12: national language and tolerance.
- 37:12Speaker 1: Absolutely completely agree.
- 37:14Speaker 2: It's been a disgrace actually on the world stage what
- 37:16Speaker 2: Australia has done. Now let's move on, because children as
- 37:18Speaker 2: young as twelve have been arrested over serious alleged crimes
- 37:21Speaker 2: and a major Melbourne police s blitz. More than forty people,
- 37:25Speaker 2: most of school age, were arrested in the crackdown on
- 37:28Speaker 2: alleged armed robberies, home invasions, aggravated.
- 37:30Speaker 1: Burglaries and car theft.
- 37:32Speaker 2: The twelve year old was among six youths the oldest
- 37:35Speaker 2: age nineteen. Browin youth crime is an issue across the country.
- 37:39Speaker 1: My problem that I have.
- 37:40Speaker 2: Is is the justice system because they keep letting these
- 37:43Speaker 2: kids go, give them a slap on the wrist, and
- 37:45Speaker 2: then the cycle of crime just keeps continuing. What more
- 37:48Speaker 2: needs to be done in your view, Well.
- 37:51Speaker 11: You've got to ask you a question about the years
- 37:54Speaker 11: that have gone on and the sort of people who
- 37:56Speaker 11: were appointed to the magistracy, because we see the same
- 38:00Speaker 11: problem in New South Wales. We see appalling stories coming
- 38:03Speaker 11: out of more Re for instance, where young kids as
- 38:07Speaker 11: young as twelve are let out on bail and simply recommit.
- 38:12Speaker 11: The same is happening in Victoria with this particular instance,
- 38:15Speaker 11: So we really have to look at just who is
- 38:18Speaker 11: being appointed. And it's no good complaining about the judiciary
- 38:24Speaker 11: and what it does unless we are scrutinizing how these
- 38:28Speaker 11: appointments are made. And I think there has to be
- 38:31Speaker 11: a tightening up. I know we're dead against, or most
- 38:36Speaker 11: parliamentarians seem to be dead against mandatory sentencing, and yet
- 38:41Speaker 11: I think it is coming to a point where there
- 38:44Speaker 11: has to be some degree of mandatory sentencing if there
- 38:48Speaker 11: is to be a curbing of this incident of crime. Now,
- 38:54Speaker 11: all that discussion we went on having about whether or
- 38:57Speaker 11: not the age of culpability put it that way should
- 39:01Speaker 11: be raised to fourteen, that didn't help either. So we've
- 39:05Speaker 11: got an enormous difficulty in trying to reform kids who
- 39:12Speaker 11: are committing crimes at that very young age and not
- 39:15Speaker 11: turning them into permanent criminals against the damage it's being
- 39:20Speaker 11: done to people who are the victims, and there is
- 39:23Speaker 11: a need to consider the victims. So it is a
- 39:26Speaker 11: very difficult question. But isn't it interesting that in Melbourne
- 39:30Speaker 11: we've suddenly had this blitz on crime, but they still
- 39:33Speaker 11: can't find who burned down the Jewish synagogue.
- 39:41Speaker 2: Yeah, here we are four weeks later your spot on.
- 39:44Speaker 2: We still don't have any answers or are no clear
- 39:46Speaker 2: as to what's going on because police won't tell us.
- 39:49Speaker 2: Now let's move on because an Adelaide comedian Biddy o'lachlan
- 39:52Speaker 2: claims Australia risks losing our ability to joke about sensitive
- 39:57Speaker 2: topics after social media backlash to a stand she made
- 40:00Speaker 2: about an Aboriginal woman. Now she hosted a video from
- 40:04Speaker 2: a stand up set where she joked about an Aboriginal
- 40:06Speaker 2: woman she met at a pub in Alice Springs and
- 40:08Speaker 2: made fun of traditional place names, but it attracted online backlash,
- 40:12Speaker 2: including comments threatening violence rocco.
- 40:17Speaker 1: Look, comedy is meant to be funny.
- 40:19Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, it can be offensive, it could be crude.
- 40:23Speaker 2: But what is the point of comedy if you can't
- 40:25Speaker 2: laugh because the perpetually outraged will come after you.
- 40:28Speaker 12: Well, this is exactly what Jerry Seinfeld was talking about,
- 40:31Speaker 12: probably one of the greatest comedians of our lifetime, at
- 40:33Speaker 12: the Duke University graduation as Cremany last year, when you said,
- 40:36Speaker 12: and I quote, you've got to laugh. It's worth the
- 40:39Speaker 12: sacrifice of occasional discomfort to have some laughs. He said,
- 40:42Speaker 12: we can't lose that, and he said, we're embarrassed about
- 40:45Speaker 12: the things we should be proud of, and proud of
- 40:47Speaker 12: the things that we're embarrassed about. This is the thing
- 40:50Speaker 12: you cannot have. The whole point of comedy is, yes, satire.
- 40:56Speaker 12: We've lost satire. And if you can't, you can't have satire,
- 40:59Speaker 12: you can't have common which is obviously why, you know,
- 41:01Speaker 12: the left like to cancel it because often the satire
- 41:06Speaker 12: is directed at the left and you have to go
- 41:08Speaker 12: back and look people, when you've got time over this break,
- 41:11Speaker 12: to have a look at some of the Soviet jokes
- 41:13Speaker 12: that the Soviet people told about their own government and
- 41:18Speaker 12: how important satire is not only to keep us saye,
- 41:20Speaker 12: but also to poke fun at the elites, and which
- 41:23Speaker 12: is why the elites don't like it.
- 41:24Speaker 1: Yeah, you're spot on browin.
- 41:26Speaker 2: We're almost out of time, but I've got to ask you,
- 41:28Speaker 2: have we lost our Alarican spirit in this country?
- 41:32Speaker 10: Yeah?
- 41:32Speaker 11: But it's worse than that. It's a form of censorship.
- 41:35Speaker 11: And isn't it interesting We're talking about a joke that
- 41:37Speaker 11: offended somebody, but we're not telling the joke because the
- 41:41Speaker 11: censorship has already been successful.
- 41:45Speaker 2: That is a really good point spot on how sad
- 41:49Speaker 2: that in twenty twenty four we've reached this when we
- 41:51Speaker 2: are meant to be the Aussie Alaricans And yeah.
- 41:54Speaker 1: It's a real shape.
- 41:55Speaker 2: Absolutely and Browin Bishop, I was going to say it's
- 42:00Speaker 2: time to go, but you are absolutely spot. I'm good
- 42:02Speaker 2: to see you both. Thank you very much for joining
- 42:04Speaker 2: me on the program this evening. Really appreciate it. Thank you.
- 42:08Speaker 1: Thanks taking well.
- 42:09Speaker 2: Just when MSNBC, the perpetually outraged US liberal network, couldn't
- 42:14Speaker 2: sink as low as its own ratings, one of its
- 42:17Speaker 2: contributors has praised the terror attack outside the Las Vegas
- 42:21Speaker 2: Trump hotel which killed one person. Molly john Fast posted,
- 42:26Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but this is actually amazing and what kind
- 42:30Speaker 2: of electric vehicle was it, referencing the fact that a
- 42:34Speaker 2: Tesla cybertruck, the company owned by Elon Musk, exploded in
- 42:38Speaker 2: the attack. Joining me now is the host of the
- 42:41Speaker 2: Brad Versus Everyone podcast, Brad Palumbo.
- 42:44Speaker 1: Brad, Happy New Year. Thank you for joining me.
- 42:47Speaker 2: These people hate Donald Trump and Elon Musk so much
- 42:50Speaker 2: that they think.
- 42:51Speaker 1: A deadly terror attack is something to be celebrated. How
- 42:54Speaker 1: do you how do you explain.
- 42:56Speaker 13: This, their brains are broken. There's simply no other answer
- 43:00Speaker 13: than some sort of actual brain damage. Because when you
- 43:04Speaker 13: find yourself praising a terror attack where somebody, or at
- 43:08Speaker 13: least something that is being investigated as one where somebody died,
- 43:12Speaker 13: and if not actually for the ingenious design of the
- 43:15Speaker 13: cyber truck, many more people could have been injured. You've
- 43:19Speaker 13: lost the plot. You're not okay, Like something is wrong,
- 43:22Speaker 13: something is sick, whether it's this, whether it's the glorification
- 43:27Speaker 13: of the murder of a healthcare CEO or so many
- 43:29Speaker 13: other things. We've got this sickness in American society on
- 43:33Speaker 13: both sides to some extent, but especially profound on the
- 43:36Speaker 13: American left today, where people are starting to think political
- 43:40Speaker 13: violence is something that's okay, and that's really disturbing on
- 43:44Speaker 13: a moral level. And if you open that can of worms,
- 43:46Speaker 13: it's really hard to get it closed. I mean, who's
- 43:49Speaker 13: off limits? Anybody? Is anybody off limits? It's frightening stuff.
- 43:53Speaker 13: But they'll put this person on air next week probably
- 43:57Speaker 13: and just because she hates Trump, and she'll say the things,
- 44:00Speaker 13: and that's all that matters in some quarters.
- 44:04Speaker 2: Honestly, I think MSNBC has just sunk so low, Brad,
- 44:09Speaker 2: they are.
- 44:10Speaker 1: They're really self loathing.
- 44:11Speaker 4: Now.
- 44:11Speaker 2: It's an absolute disgrace, and you're right, where does it end?
- 44:15Speaker 1: It's just shocking now. The Democrats loss in the US.
- 44:18Speaker 2: Election has really taken its toll on the former Speaker
- 44:21Speaker 2: of the House, Nancy Pelosi.
- 44:23Speaker 1: She posted this bizarre video to social media today. Have
- 44:27Speaker 1: a look at this. Hi, it's Nancy.
- 44:30Speaker 12: I'm on a little Washington to proudly represent the people
- 44:34Speaker 12: at San Francisco in Congress.
- 44:36Speaker 1: I'm honored to do so. Are san Francisco values? Thank
- 44:40Speaker 1: you for giving me that honor, Brad.
- 44:43Speaker 2: The video caused quite a stare on social media. I
- 44:45Speaker 2: just felt like she couldn't even keep her eyes open.
- 44:48Speaker 2: Many claim that she looked drunk and exhausted. What is
- 44:50Speaker 2: going on?
- 44:52Speaker 13: Look, I don't know what's going on. I don't know
- 44:55Speaker 13: if she's drunk, if she's just had too much botox
- 44:58Speaker 13: that she it's now reached her lips and she can't speak.
- 45:01Speaker 13: I mean, but honestly, to me, you almost feel bad
- 45:05Speaker 13: for her. She is ancient at this point, and the
- 45:08Speaker 13: fact that she's still in Congress. It's like, how do
- 45:11Speaker 13: we not have term limits or some sort of age maxim.
- 45:16Speaker 13: You know, we have a minimum age. You have to
- 45:18Speaker 13: be a certain age to be a member of Congress
- 45:20Speaker 13: or to be president, but there's no maximum. And just
- 45:24Speaker 13: the same way that people when they're too young, their
- 45:27Speaker 13: brains can be mushy. Well, no shame in aging. It
- 45:31Speaker 13: happens to all of us if we're lucky, but at
- 45:34Speaker 13: a certain point it can happen at the other end
- 45:36Speaker 13: as well. And we are run by oxygenarians in many
- 45:40Speaker 13: positions of power in this country, and some of them
- 45:43Speaker 13: I think have held on to power a little bit
- 45:46Speaker 13: too long, like Nancy Belosi, as you can quite clearly
- 45:50Speaker 13: see here.
- 45:52Speaker 1: Yeah, that was very clear in that video.
- 45:55Speaker 2: And I don't know if it's the toll from the
- 45:58Speaker 2: Democrats loss was when they finally got rid of Joe Biden.
- 46:02Speaker 2: I mean, everything has gone wrong for the Democrats in
- 46:05Speaker 2: the last twelve months, but they brought it upon themselves,
- 46:08Speaker 2: and Nancy Pelosi was one of them to blame as well.
- 46:11Speaker 2: Now let's move on to JK.
- 46:13Speaker 1: Rowling. She has intervened on transgender issues. Again.
- 46:17Speaker 2: We know she's very outspoken in this space, particularly on
- 46:20Speaker 2: social media, but now she's come out saying that no
- 46:23Speaker 2: child is born in the wrong body. The Harry Potter
- 46:26Speaker 2: author said, only adults believe in an ideology that will
- 46:30Speaker 2: end up wreaking more harm than lobotomies. Brad Letty's are
- 46:35Speaker 2: really losing it over these comments, aren't they.
- 46:39Speaker 13: They are, And it's interesting to me. They're obsessed with
- 46:42Speaker 13: JK and anything she says about this question, and they
- 46:46Speaker 13: react in almost hysterical fashion when the core of what
- 46:51Speaker 13: she's expressing, that miners can't consent to medical transition, that
- 46:55Speaker 13: it's unproven and unsupported by evidence, is a pretty widespread belief,
- 47:00Speaker 13: and so people who are so outraged by its so
- 47:03Speaker 13: scandalized by it. Maybe it's because they were Harry Potter
- 47:07Speaker 13: kids and they never grew up, But it will never
- 47:09Speaker 13: cease to amaze me just how intense some people's obsession
- 47:12Speaker 13: with JK. Rowling is and her political views and her
- 47:15Speaker 13: views on this question. At the end of the day,
- 47:18Speaker 13: it's not that deep. She's entitled to her opinion. You
- 47:20Speaker 13: can agree with it, you can disagree with it. But
- 47:23Speaker 13: the unhinged freak out that you'll see on the internet
- 47:25Speaker 13: anytime she speaks on this issue is really bizarre stuff.
- 47:31Speaker 2: But Brad, I just can't help but Wanda. Has this
- 47:33Speaker 2: got more to do with the perpetually outraged. I mean,
- 47:35Speaker 2: the left always finding something to winge and to sook about,
- 47:41Speaker 2: and they're always targeting JK. Rowling in particular, but always
- 47:45Speaker 2: when it comes to gender matters.
- 47:46Speaker 1: So I just wonder.
- 47:48Speaker 2: Why every time she says something do they fall over themselves.
- 47:53Speaker 13: Well, it's two things. I think. One is that, like
- 47:55Speaker 13: you said, they're always looking for something to be upset about,
- 47:58Speaker 13: right because they need a main character for the day.
- 48:01Speaker 13: They need somebody to cancel to be upset with. And two,
- 48:05Speaker 13: they especially hate people from their own side who question
- 48:08Speaker 13: their darkmas.
- 48:09Speaker 4: So JK.
- 48:09Speaker 13: Rowling Rolling is not a conservative, she's not a Republican,
- 48:13Speaker 13: she's not a Tory. She's very much a liberal right.
- 48:16Speaker 13: She comes from the left, but she pushes back on
- 48:18Speaker 13: the gender stuff. She in the name of feminism, disagrees
- 48:22Speaker 13: fundamentally with a lot of the left's new beliefs about gender.
- 48:26Speaker 13: And there's if there's one thing they can't stand, it's
- 48:29Speaker 13: a dissident from their own side, they'll hate them exponentially
- 48:32Speaker 13: more fiercely than they will just a standard conservative. And
- 48:35Speaker 13: I think we see that with JK and the unhinged
- 48:38Speaker 13: backlash she so regularly faces.
- 48:43Speaker 2: From the so called tolerant left in particular. Brad Palumbo,
- 48:47Speaker 2: happy your year, Really good to speak with you. Thank
- 48:49Speaker 2: you so much for joining me on the show this evening,
- 48:52Speaker 2: and thank you so much for your company on the
- 48:53Speaker 2: Bolt Report this week. I'll be back again next week
- 48:56Speaker 2: to do it all again. Have a good evening, stay
- 48:58Speaker 2: with us. Up next is the Late Debate.
- 49:00Speaker 1: Goodnight,
