- 0:00Speaker 1: Wait, Welcome to the Waked Blades.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Welcome to the program. I'm Free Leech, joined by Jamie
- 0:09Speaker 2: Rodgers and kel Richards. Coming up tonight. A teenager has
- 0:12Speaker 2: died of a drug overdose after chat GBT taught him
- 0:16Speaker 2: how to take drugs.
- 0:18Speaker 3: How far will AI be allowed to go?
- 0:21Speaker 2: Plus a disturbing mural has appeared at a Sydney train
- 0:24Speaker 2: station depicting an Aboriginal girl stabbing a white colonizer to
- 0:29Speaker 2: death with the words dead Colonizer's harm no one and
- 0:34Speaker 2: abolish Australia.
- 0:36Speaker 3: And the worst part.
- 0:37Speaker 2: Is this so called artist has received government grants. More
- 0:42Speaker 2: on that later in the hour. Plus drivers divers on
- 0:46Speaker 2: West Australia's coast, famous for its shipwrecks, discovered as safe
- 0:50Speaker 2: on the ocean floor and you won't believe what they
- 0:54Speaker 2: found when they opened it up. But first, after weeks
- 0:58Speaker 2: of pressure, Easy has finally caved and agreed to establish
- 1:03Speaker 2: a Royal commission into the Bundai massacre.
- 1:07Speaker 4: It's clear to me that a royal commission is essential.
- 1:11Speaker 4: Today I announced that I will be recommending to the
- 1:14Speaker 4: Governor General in an Executive Council meeting that will be
- 1:18Speaker 4: held tomorrow that a Royal Commission on Any Semitism and
- 1:23Speaker 4: Social Cohesion be established. Dennis Richardson's work will become part
- 1:28Speaker 4: of the Commission and he will support its work with
- 1:31Speaker 4: delivery of an interim report by the Commission in April.
- 1:37Speaker 2: Now, the first thing to acknowledge off the top is
- 1:40Speaker 2: while this is a good outcome, it's what we've all
- 1:43Speaker 2: been calling for for a number of weeks. Now we
- 1:46Speaker 2: know Albo didn't want this. He was forced into this
- 1:50Speaker 2: position kicking and screaming. The second factor that concerns me
- 1:54Speaker 2: is who is going to be in charge of the
- 1:56Speaker 2: Royal Commission. Virginia Bell. She is a progressive. She has
- 2:01Speaker 2: made judgments in the past around protest rights that have
- 2:04Speaker 2: been used. That was used as one of the precedents
- 2:07Speaker 2: to allow the Harbor Bridge protests to occur. So does
- 2:10Speaker 2: that put her in a bit of a conflict of
- 2:12Speaker 2: interest where she will be asked to judge the effects
- 2:16Speaker 2: of what she is partly responsible for in her legal judgments.
- 2:20Speaker 2: And then I think once you look at the terms
- 2:23Speaker 2: of reference of the Royal Commission that's been put forward, firstly,
- 2:27Speaker 2: no mention of radical Islam. That's the first problem. And
- 2:31Speaker 2: secondly it also states that the Royal Commission should uphold
- 2:36Speaker 2: social cohesion. Now that seemed peculiar to me, because social
- 2:42Speaker 2: cohesion is in tatters and the Royal Commission is trying
- 2:46Speaker 2: to find out why, and that's probably not going to
- 2:50Speaker 2: be very comfortable. It's going to involve a lot of
- 2:53Speaker 2: hard truths. But if already off straight out the gay
- 2:58Speaker 2: the government is that can serve and with upholding social cohesion,
- 3:02Speaker 2: will that impact the kinds of avenues they're willing to
- 3:07Speaker 2: explore here?
- 3:07Speaker 1: Cal of course it will. Of course it will. Bear
- 3:10Speaker 1: in mind the expression that's been used by commentators is
- 3:13Speaker 1: she is labor aligned. Now you work out what that means.
- 3:17Speaker 1: Do you really believe that Anthony Albanez he sat in
- 3:20Speaker 1: his office chatting to his advisors and close colleagues and
- 3:24Speaker 1: didn't say, can we find a Royal commissioners one of
- 3:27Speaker 1: us on our side who look after our bit, who
- 3:30Speaker 1: won't dig up anything we'd of course they had that
- 3:33Speaker 1: sort of discussion, of course they did. And the spin
- 3:35Speaker 1: that he's been putting on this thing from the beginning
- 3:38Speaker 1: is well, it's all about unity and social cohesion. So
- 3:41Speaker 1: it's not that we didn't got things wrong for two
- 3:44Speaker 1: years not that we sat here moving at the pace
- 3:48Speaker 1: of a fairly slow glacier doing nothing. Not that at all.
- 3:52Speaker 1: It's just that we're protecting social cohesion by doing nothing.
- 3:55Speaker 1: So if we're inactive and ineffective, social cohesion is better.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Now he's built that into what Virginia Bell will look at.
- 4:03Speaker 1: It's going to be really interesting to see the details,
- 4:05Speaker 1: because there'll have to be more details, and it will
- 4:08Speaker 1: be interesting to see how it starts to function. If
- 4:10Speaker 1: she starts functioning as someone who is going to protect
- 4:14Speaker 1: the government, there will be an outcry. The very fact
- 4:18Speaker 1: that she's in there means Anthony Albanese is still not
- 4:20Speaker 1: listening to the Jewish community who said, don't use Virginia Bell.
- 4:24Speaker 1: She's brought down judgments that have allowed pro Palestinian marches,
- 4:28Speaker 1: so he ignored that, right, So this is the man
- 4:30Speaker 1: who listens. I listen. I've been on a listening watch
- 4:33Speaker 1: and I listened to the Jewish community and then you
- 4:36Speaker 1: rejected what they said, didn't you. That's what you did,
- 4:38Speaker 1: mister Albanezi. So we have to watch the process that
- 4:42Speaker 1: the meetings would be public, the hearings would be public,
- 4:44Speaker 1: and we need to listen carefully to how it's being done,
- 4:47Speaker 1: and the community has to keep We've pushed this. This
- 4:50Speaker 1: is not Albanese's royal commission. This is our royal commission.
- 4:53Speaker 1: We now need to monitor it and we need to
- 4:56Speaker 1: keep feeding back whether it's on track or not.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Question there as well, Jamie around radical Islam and it's
- 5:04Speaker 2: interesting in the press conference you listen to Albanezy talk
- 5:07Speaker 2: and he talks a lot about anti Semitism, which obviously
- 5:11Speaker 2: is the issue here and it has come from a
- 5:15Speaker 2: range of areas of society, the radical left, academia, the arts.
- 5:20Speaker 2: But this terror attack was driven by radical Islamic ideology.
- 5:26Speaker 2: So the fact that that has been completely left out
- 5:29Speaker 2: of the terms of reference, I it doesn't instill a
- 5:35Speaker 2: lot of confidence in me that that's actually going to
- 5:37Speaker 2: be properly addressed.
- 5:39Speaker 5: Yeah, there were a few things that also brought to
- 5:42Speaker 5: my attention to that I thought were missing from the
- 5:45Speaker 5: terms of reference. But look, we do also need to
- 5:48Speaker 5: say well done that he is finally after twenty five days,
- 5:52Speaker 5: despite Diggy's heels in at ignoring calls from the Jewish
- 5:54Speaker 5: community and athletes are absolutely kicking and screaming. He did
- 5:58Speaker 5: not want to have this royal but he has finally
- 6:01Speaker 5: done so, but he has done it by calling with
- 6:04Speaker 5: Virginia Bell, who, as you just mentioned kel is a
- 6:07Speaker 5: labor friendly judge. I would have liked to have seen
- 6:10Speaker 5: the coalition's idea where they appoint three people onto the commission,
- 6:14Speaker 5: whether that's a judge. So they've got Virginia Bell because
- 6:16Speaker 5: she doesn't have any national security experience, so you would
- 6:19Speaker 5: like to hope that she then brings on some really
- 6:21Speaker 5: experienced staff. And within that staff, we need to ensure
- 6:24Speaker 5: that they're not labor mates.
- 6:26Speaker 6: You need to go and find.
- 6:27Speaker 5: The experts in your field, so in the national security,
- 6:30Speaker 5: which is so crucial right now, but then also members
- 6:33Speaker 5: of the Jewish community also need to look part of it.
- 6:35Speaker 1: That's often the most important person in a Royal commission
- 6:38Speaker 1: is the Senior Council advising the Royal Commissioner, because they
- 6:41Speaker 1: are the people who cross examine the witnesses. If they
- 6:44Speaker 1: get someone good for that, that will make a difference.
- 6:47Speaker 5: Yes, But it's also interesting. I don't know if it's
- 6:50Speaker 5: just me that's missed this, but it looked as though
- 6:52Speaker 5: the terms of reference didn't include any of the government
- 6:55Speaker 5: decision making. So is he trying to shift the focus
- 6:59Speaker 5: away from government, which is part of the reason why
- 7:01Speaker 5: we think he's taken so long to call this royal commission.
- 7:05Speaker 5: But by mentioning things like social cohesion over and over
- 7:07Speaker 5: and over and over again, I do fear that elements
- 7:09Speaker 5: of the truth are going to continue to be buried
- 7:11Speaker 5: off the back of that risk that he can say, oh,
- 7:13Speaker 5: it'll cause non social cohesion. And I would like to
- 7:17Speaker 5: see though, that the government is also scrutinized strouss throughout
- 7:20Speaker 5: this process.
- 7:21Speaker 1: If in the detail they say government ministers or past
- 7:24Speaker 1: ministers cannot be called as witnesses, cannot be cross examined,
- 7:27Speaker 1: If they say that when the detail comes out then
- 7:30Speaker 1: we know the whole thing's are.
- 7:31Speaker 3: Stitch up, then that's just an absolute sham.
- 7:33Speaker 2: But let's not forget the amount of pressure Labor is
- 7:37Speaker 2: under from within their own party to not take a
- 7:40Speaker 2: strong stand against anti Semitism. The New South Wales Labour
- 7:44Speaker 2: Friends of Palestine have released a public letter calling on
- 7:48Speaker 2: Labor to block the visit of the President of Israel,
- 7:52Speaker 2: Isaac Hertzog, who is due to come to Australia in
- 7:55Speaker 2: a couple of weeks to pay his respects to the
- 7:58Speaker 2: victims of the bund name assacre and obviously commemorate the
- 8:01Speaker 2: largest terror attack on Jews outside of Israel since the Holocaust.
- 8:06Speaker 2: But I think that is so indicative, Kel, then you
- 8:09Speaker 2: already have less than a month on from the bone massacre.
- 8:13Speaker 2: Groups within Labor lobbying MPs who no doubt they have
- 8:18Speaker 2: numbers in their pre selections, they have political influence within
- 8:21Speaker 2: the party, and they're lobbying Labor to block what is
- 8:26Speaker 2: a very appropriate state physis.
- 8:29Speaker 1: Of course it is. I mean, Isaac Hurzog is a
- 8:31Speaker 1: dignified diplomatic man and he represents a nation. He doesn't
- 8:35Speaker 1: represent a government. That's what governors do, like our governor general.
- 8:39Speaker 1: The interesting thing about this is it reminds us that
- 8:42Speaker 1: in fact, anti Semitism comes from two sources, not one source.
- 8:45Speaker 1: We know it comes from radical Islam, but it also
- 8:48Speaker 1: comes from the socialist left. There is a big antisemitic
- 8:51Speaker 1: drive from the socialist left. There are a number of
- 8:53Speaker 1: key prominent Labour figures who've been anti Zionists, as they
- 8:57Speaker 1: would say, arguing against the state of Israel for a
- 9:01Speaker 1: very long time. Now there's this very heavy anti Zionist
- 9:04Speaker 1: which drifts into anti Semitism, which drifts into due hatred
- 9:09Speaker 1: in the socialist left. Now our beliez. He comes from
- 9:12Speaker 1: the Socialist Left. He was the faction leader for a
- 9:14Speaker 1: long time. It's his people that he has spent years
- 9:18Speaker 1: and years working with who were saying no, no, no, no,
- 9:20Speaker 1: we don't do this sort of thing. I mean, I
- 9:24Speaker 1: really worry about the Labor Party, Socialist Left. I really
- 9:27Speaker 1: think they are the people who will pedal lines like well,
- 9:31Speaker 1: one of the leading I'm not going to name it,
- 9:33Speaker 1: but one of the leading labor figures was talking about
- 9:35Speaker 1: the Jewish lobby, the Israel lobby that pushes all this
- 9:38Speaker 1: stuff in the media. I mean, that is sinister, that
- 9:41Speaker 1: is evil, that is wrong. So it's useful. Their opposition
- 9:46Speaker 1: to Isaac kurtzk coming here is useful because it reminds
- 9:49Speaker 1: us that there are enemies there as well as in
- 9:53Speaker 1: radical Islam.
- 9:54Speaker 5: Let's also not forget that Hertzog is from the Labor
- 9:56Speaker 5: equivalent party over in Israel and he is very good
- 9:59Speaker 5: for friends with Kevin RhD and other Labour figures. So
- 10:03Speaker 5: he is coming out representing that side of government. But
- 10:07Speaker 5: this shouldn't be anything even remotely controversial, and it does
- 10:10Speaker 5: follow calls where we saw the Imam's council last week
- 10:13Speaker 5: also saying that we should be rittegging on the invitation.
- 10:16Speaker 5: I think it is incredibly disrespectful. The time of doing
- 10:19Speaker 5: this is outrageous. This is a community that is in
- 10:23Speaker 5: mourning and it is a sign that when he comes
- 10:26Speaker 5: out and can stand there and support them, we should
- 10:28Speaker 5: be welcoming him. But also to just reiterate to the
- 10:31Speaker 5: Jewish community that we all stand with them and that
- 10:34Speaker 5: we're keeping the dialogue open with Israel, who is meant
- 10:37Speaker 5: to be one of our top allies.
- 10:41Speaker 1: It's very important. Now this is not the only thing
- 10:43Speaker 1: the Albanezi government is doing. They're also introducing speech laws.
- 10:47Speaker 1: We haven't seen these yet. Presumably they're drafting them at
- 10:50Speaker 1: the moment and so they'll be showing to the opposition
- 10:53Speaker 1: and we will see them reasonably soon. But the opposition
- 10:56Speaker 1: leader today, Susan Lee, said the hate speech laws don't
- 10:59Speaker 1: need to cover other things. Someone of the news conference said,
- 11:03Speaker 1: does it need to cover you know, LGBTQ issues and
- 11:07Speaker 1: things like that, And that's the whole point. It is
- 11:09Speaker 1: hate speech. In fact, there's just two issues that they're
- 11:12Speaker 1: talking about. They're talking about one hate speech, which is
- 11:14Speaker 1: aggravated hate speech that's meant to cover people like the
- 11:17Speaker 1: hate preachers whose words could lead to violence. You know,
- 11:21Speaker 1: the rock that cries out a Muslim, there is a
- 11:25Speaker 1: Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him. Those kinds
- 11:27Speaker 1: of hate peature preachers, they in fact will, they will
- 11:31Speaker 1: be covered. And there's a second one, which is serious
- 11:34Speaker 1: vilification based on race, like lumping all the Jews together
- 11:38Speaker 1: and say they're all manipulating some whatever. Now they're the
- 11:41Speaker 1: only two things they're meant to cover, and it doesn't
- 11:43Speaker 1: need to cover the LGBTQ. The LGBTQ community, without being
- 11:49Speaker 1: unkind to them, are inclined to think whatever's happening is
- 11:52Speaker 1: about me, me, me, me, makes something about this about me,
- 11:55Speaker 1: They've they've got to cover me and look after me
- 11:57Speaker 1: all the time. And I'm sorry, it's not about you.
- 12:00Speaker 1: It is about the wider community in the Jewish community,
- 12:03Speaker 1: So get over that. And except the fact it's not
- 12:05Speaker 1: about you, And the hate speech ruaws have got to
- 12:07Speaker 1: be focused, haven't they.
- 12:09Speaker 2: And this was always my risk with the hate speech laws.
- 12:11Speaker 2: You see how in the UK, for example, what starts
- 12:15Speaker 2: out as good intentions, Oh, we want to protect people
- 12:18Speaker 2: from harmful words ends up just creeping and creeping and creeping,
- 12:22Speaker 2: and when you add in things like lgbt Q protections,
- 12:26Speaker 2: that is just not the core issue at the moment.
- 12:28Speaker 2: We had an anti Semitic terror attack that killed fifteen
- 12:32Speaker 2: people only a couple of weeks ago. That is what
- 12:34Speaker 2: we should be focusing on. Once you start adding lgbt
- 12:38Speaker 2: protections into hate speech laws, it has massive implications for
- 12:44Speaker 2: freedom of religion, for the kinds of stuff you can
- 12:46Speaker 2: preach in churches, and that is just not a core
- 12:50Speaker 2: issue that we need to be dealing with right now.
- 12:52Speaker 5: No, tackling hate speech is certainly not a license to
- 12:55Speaker 5: start coming after free speech, and I think right now
- 12:58Speaker 5: we don't want to be diluting the issue that we
- 13:00Speaker 5: have just seen on our shores.
- 13:02Speaker 6: And what is an.
- 13:03Speaker 5: Imminent threat right now to our society is Islamic extremism
- 13:07Speaker 5: and anti semitism. So that is what this law needs
- 13:10Speaker 5: to solely focus on to ensure that we can make change. Well,
- 13:14Speaker 5: speaking of hate speeches, Adelaide Festival has removed one of
- 13:21Speaker 5: their appearances by a Palestinian Egyptian author, Randa abdel Fatta.
- 13:26Speaker 5: Now she was someone that has tweeted some horrendous things
- 13:31Speaker 5: about Israel over the past few years. In one in particular,
- 13:34Speaker 5: on Boxing Day in twenty twenty four, she posted on
- 13:37Speaker 5: x May twenty twenty five, be the end of Israel.
- 13:41Speaker 5: This woman also organized a children's excursion to a pro
- 13:46Speaker 5: Palestinian protest at the University of Sydney, and it was
- 13:49Speaker 5: here that people were filmed.
- 13:50Speaker 6: Calling for the inter fada.
- 13:52Speaker 5: And this is the chant that is now planned to
- 13:54Speaker 5: be banned under Chrismin's new laws. So she was supposed
- 13:57Speaker 5: to be participating in Writers Week, which is a festival
- 14:01Speaker 5: in Adelaide. They have since pulled her appearance, which I
- 14:05Speaker 5: think is a grade outcome. The fact that it even
- 14:08Speaker 5: got to this points because the festival's only next week,
- 14:10Speaker 5: so she was still invited when they knew full well
- 14:13Speaker 5: her stance and what she has done previously. But this
- 14:15Speaker 5: was also the woman who had has an eight hundred
- 14:18Speaker 5: and seventy thousand dollars taxpayer funded grant. This was temporarily
- 14:23Speaker 5: suspended as Jason Clair did investigate her, but that grant
- 14:26Speaker 5: was subsequently reinstated, so she still has it, and I
- 14:30Speaker 5: just think the fact that she even has that grant
- 14:33Speaker 5: is still unacceptable. And probably should be investigated again. But
- 14:36Speaker 5: I think this is a really good move by Adelaide
- 14:38Speaker 5: Festival to not have someone like that standing up there
- 14:41Speaker 5: at an event.
- 14:42Speaker 2: Well, my question is, how do these people keep getting
- 14:45Speaker 2: invited to speak at all these festivals in the first place?
- 14:48Speaker 1: The arts community. The arts community is very left wing.
- 14:51Speaker 1: The arts community is not balanced. I mean Jerrar Henderson
- 14:54Speaker 1: says this often. He says, you can go to any
- 14:56Speaker 1: arts festival and their idea of a range of opinion
- 14:59Speaker 1: is to have a range of leftists from the hard
- 15:03Speaker 1: lift of the soft lift or whatever's There's no conservatives,
- 15:08Speaker 1: there's no one from the right. There's no one who
- 15:09Speaker 1: thinks like that. Now, I don't know what my own
- 15:13Speaker 1: guess is that the arts community as a whole is
- 15:16Speaker 1: not like that. It's the arts, the arts activists, you've
- 15:20Speaker 1: captured it.
- 15:20Speaker 2: Well that's the problem, right, And you know, whenever I
- 15:23Speaker 2: hear people getting canceled, I sort of think, oh, we
- 15:26Speaker 2: don't really want that. But at the same time, how
- 15:29Speaker 2: have Jewish artists been treated for the last two years,
- 15:32Speaker 2: and not only Jewish artists, Jewish artists who are vocally
- 15:36Speaker 2: supportive of Israel. Well, good luck having any career. Give
- 15:39Speaker 2: me people like Debra Conway is a great example the
- 15:42Speaker 2: five hundred Jewish creatives that got docked online and are
- 15:46Speaker 2: still feeling the implications of that.
- 15:47Speaker 3: So I just think, you know what, stuffer.
- 15:50Speaker 2: This is just a fraction of what Jewish artists have
- 15:53Speaker 2: had to experience for two years thanks to your mob.
- 15:57Speaker 2: So you can just get over it. And she is
- 16:00Speaker 2: not someone that is just pro Palestine. The day after
- 16:04Speaker 2: October seven, she changed her social media profile picture to
- 16:09Speaker 2: paratroopers coming in like it's that iconic image of the
- 16:14Speaker 2: paratroopers coming into the Nova Music Festival site to massacred Jews.
- 16:19Speaker 2: That's what she changed her social media profile pictures too.
- 16:22Speaker 2: It's been clear since day one where she stands.
- 16:25Speaker 1: And remember what she did with the children. She took
- 16:28Speaker 1: the children to the law at Sydney University in front
- 16:30Speaker 1: of the Great Hall, and they were little children. I'm
- 16:34Speaker 1: a grandpa, so I really got angry about this, and
- 16:37Speaker 1: she taught little children to chat into father intero fada.
- 16:42Speaker 1: I mean, I just think that is so close to
- 16:45Speaker 1: child abuse. It's terrible. I mean, brainwashing little kids is horrible.
- 16:49Speaker 1: She's obviously not a very nice person.
- 16:52Speaker 3: No, it is just genuinely horrendous.
- 16:54Speaker 2: Well, hopefully this marks the beginning though of pushback within
- 16:57Speaker 2: the arts and finally some of these people growing a
- 17:01Speaker 2: pair and pushing back against the blatant activism that seems
- 17:05Speaker 2: to have taken over at the sector. Well, let's change
- 17:08Speaker 2: gears a little bit now and head over to the
- 17:10Speaker 2: US where there has been a massive controversy in Minnesota
- 17:14Speaker 2: today where ICE agents allegedly shot a woman at point
- 17:21Speaker 2: blank range. Now it's being argued how did this happen?
- 17:26Speaker 2: Was it purely self defense? Was it an overreaction by
- 17:29Speaker 2: the ICE agents? Before we play this video, I will
- 17:32Speaker 2: warn you this is quite distressing people.
- 17:48Speaker 7: No, no, God, what you do?
- 17:57Speaker 6: You shame? Shame, shame, shame.
- 18:06Speaker 2: So what happened there? And this is from ICE and
- 18:09Speaker 2: from the Trump administration. They claim that there was a
- 18:13Speaker 2: protester who'd been harassing ICE all morning in the car.
- 18:16Speaker 2: She then put her car in drive and drove straight
- 18:19Speaker 2: at an ICE officer, who then responding in self defense.
- 18:23Speaker 2: Because a car is considered a lethal weapon, so you
- 18:26Speaker 2: were allowed to respond with lethal force, he shot the
- 18:30Speaker 2: driver out of self defense. Of course, the local Democrats
- 18:35Speaker 2: who controlled the city and the state were outraged.
- 18:38Speaker 3: Here was the mayor.
- 18:41Speaker 8: They are already trying to spin this as an action
- 18:45Speaker 8: of self defense. Having seen the video of myself, I
- 18:49Speaker 8: want to tell everybody directly that is booked. This was
- 18:56Speaker 8: an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying.
- 19:02Speaker 8: And I have a message for ICE to ICE get
- 19:08Speaker 8: out of Minneapolis.
- 19:11Speaker 3: I don't know about that kel.
- 19:13Speaker 2: If I drove my car directly into a police officer,
- 19:18Speaker 2: I'm not really sure what I would expect, other than
- 19:21Speaker 2: them to neutralize me, because you could take their line.
- 19:24Speaker 1: What actually happened will come out because the ICE officers
- 19:28Speaker 1: would have been wearing body cams. Their vision we haven't
- 19:31Speaker 1: seen yet, so all of that will come out. We
- 19:33Speaker 1: need to understand the background, because there's a big background
- 19:35Speaker 1: behind this. As soon as Trump was elected, he closed
- 19:38Speaker 1: the border and he said I'm going to deport illegal aliens,
- 19:43Speaker 1: illegal immigrants, and started doing it using these agents, which
- 19:47Speaker 1: are federal law enforcement agents. And what happened was the
- 19:50Speaker 1: Democrat politicians across America immediately said we're on the side
- 19:54Speaker 1: of the illegal immigrants and we're opposed to Trump because
- 19:57Speaker 1: Trump is such a horrible person, we have to oppose him.
- 19:59Speaker 1: About him everything, So they ended up. There were Democrat
- 20:02Speaker 1: politicians who ended up defending drug peddlers and gangsters and
- 20:06Speaker 1: people like that because they were illegal and ICE was
- 20:08Speaker 1: after them and trying to get rid of them. In Chicago,
- 20:10Speaker 1: for example, though they had a very bad time when
- 20:13Speaker 1: there were that language by the way, by the Democratic
- 20:16Speaker 1: politicians roused up mobs of people to come and surround
- 20:20Speaker 1: ICE and attack ICE facilities in Chicago. When that was happening,
- 20:24Speaker 1: and ICE cars were under attack and being pursued pickup
- 20:28Speaker 1: trucks and some of them were ramming into them, the
- 20:30Speaker 1: Chicago police were told not to attend and not to
- 20:34Speaker 1: defend the federal agents. So these are state bodies and
- 20:37Speaker 1: local bodies saying we are going to ignore federal law
- 20:40Speaker 1: and ignore federal agents. So and that mayor, that young
- 20:44Speaker 1: bloke who is the mayor of Minneapolis is one of them.
- 20:47Speaker 1: He is a leading Trump Now we don't know all
- 20:49Speaker 1: the details. The whole story will come out in due course,
- 20:52Speaker 1: but he is so heavily committed to being anti Trump
- 20:55Speaker 1: and anti the federal agents doing anything, it's really hard
- 20:59Speaker 1: to take it seriously when he does the angle.
- 21:02Speaker 5: Like this, and it is sad when he listened to
- 21:04Speaker 5: the US Homeland Secretary Security Secretary in Christy Nome, and
- 21:10Speaker 5: she has referred to this now as an act of
- 21:11Speaker 5: domestic terrorism. But when she's referring to the abuse that
- 21:14Speaker 5: these ICE agents have copped and the one that allegedly
- 21:17Speaker 5: did fire, that gunn had actually been rammed by a
- 21:20Speaker 5: car again back in June. So they are getting treated
- 21:24Speaker 5: in this way. But it's going to be interesting watching
- 21:26Speaker 5: how things play out now in this area. When you
- 21:30Speaker 5: listen to Governor Tim Woltz, it's almost like he's trying
- 21:33Speaker 5: to create a national movement. In his press conference, he
- 21:36Speaker 5: was saying to all of the other states in the US.
- 21:38Speaker 5: He was listing things like Portland and California, and he said,
- 21:42Speaker 5: come and stand with stand with us, stand with Minnesota.
- 21:46Speaker 5: And it's almost when I was watching it and I thought,
- 21:48Speaker 5: this is someone who's trying to restore his own political reputation.
- 21:54Speaker 5: Him going up against Trump and almost looking really tough
- 21:56Speaker 5: like he's bringing down Trump might be his way of
- 21:58Speaker 5: trying to salvage left of his political career off the
- 22:02Speaker 5: back of the frauds gounder, which is something totally separate
- 22:05Speaker 5: and the reason why he's not contesting the next election,
- 22:08Speaker 5: but I do think that there is an element of that.
- 22:10Speaker 5: So it's absolute mayhem over there right now. But it
- 22:13Speaker 5: will be interesting to see what plays out when the
- 22:15Speaker 5: FBI are investigating.
- 22:16Speaker 2: And don't forget Tim Waltz. He has let Minnesota burn
- 22:19Speaker 2: before during the Black Lives Matter riots, billions of dollars
- 22:24Speaker 2: of damage to Minnesota. He did nothing nothing. In fact,
- 22:29Speaker 2: they were part of the whole movement to defund the police.
- 22:32Speaker 2: So this is a political party. The Democrats, and certainly
- 22:35Speaker 2: Tim Waltz himself and the Democrats in Minnesota, they do
- 22:40Speaker 2: not stand on the side of law and order. They
- 22:43Speaker 2: do not stand on the side of good behavior and civility.
- 22:47Speaker 2: They are actually happy to watch America burn because they
- 22:52Speaker 2: are so just obsessed with tearing it all down.
- 22:57Speaker 1: So the Eddie Trump thing is just amazing. And if
- 22:59Speaker 1: memory serves me correctly, I think I'm right about this.
- 23:02Speaker 1: Tim Wallas's wife talked about driving through Minnesota when it
- 23:05Speaker 1: was burning just to see what was happening, at what
- 23:08Speaker 1: was going on, which is pretty cold blooded. Let's come
- 23:11Speaker 1: back home now and let's have a look at the
- 23:14Speaker 1: rollout of the renewables. We know what it's doing to Australia.
- 23:17Speaker 1: What it's doing to Western Australia is particularly bad because
- 23:20Speaker 1: they're wanting to build a whole stream of renewables in
- 23:23Speaker 1: the wheat belt, which is one of the most productive
- 23:25Speaker 1: areas in a Western Australia, because the wheatbelt happens to
- 23:28Speaker 1: be on the line where they have the big transmission
- 23:31Speaker 1: lines already for high tension power. Now, what they're doing
- 23:34Speaker 1: is they've got laws which say that if you own
- 23:36Speaker 1: a property and you decide you want to erect a
- 23:38Speaker 1: new building, but it's close to where a neighbor has
- 23:42Speaker 1: allowed a wind turbine to be built, well you can
- 23:45Speaker 1: be denied permission on the basis that it's too close
- 23:48Speaker 1: to the wind turbine. What this is all about is
- 23:50Speaker 1: noise pollution. The wind turbines do create noise pollution, They
- 23:54Speaker 1: damage human health. So the worry is you'll build up
- 23:57Speaker 1: a second house there for members of the family or
- 24:00Speaker 1: for the shearers who come once a year or as
- 24:02Speaker 1: a B and B or whatever, and if it's too
- 24:04Speaker 1: close to the wind turbine, they will complain about the
- 24:06Speaker 1: noise and then the wind turbine will have to operate less.
- 24:10Speaker 1: And so we have to protect the wind turbine by
- 24:13Speaker 1: not allowing you to build there. I mean, it's I
- 24:17Speaker 1: don't understand this obsession with the wind and the solar
- 24:22Speaker 1: and the rest of it matters more than anything else
- 24:23Speaker 1: on the face of the earth. I just it beats me.
- 24:26Speaker 5: But it's literally that that the wind turbines and these
- 24:29Speaker 5: wind farms are more important than homeowners and undermining home
- 24:33Speaker 5: ownership and rights that you have when you own a property,
- 24:37Speaker 5: and the shear cost of all of this as well,
- 24:39Speaker 5: you know, another twenty billion which is going into the
- 24:42Speaker 5: wind farms. I just think there's so many other ways
- 24:44Speaker 5: that we could be looking at options without going and
- 24:47Speaker 5: ruining our beautiful natural landscape and the land out there
- 24:51Speaker 5: with wind turbines.
- 24:52Speaker 6: And now that you kind even build on your own property.
- 24:54Speaker 2: Well that's what they're essentially conceding, that these wind turbines
- 24:57Speaker 2: are so disruptive that in all, in order to prevent
- 25:01Speaker 2: noise complaints and complaints from other residents, we are going
- 25:05Speaker 2: to limit your ability to use your own land for
- 25:08Speaker 2: what you want because you're going to complain about the
- 25:10Speaker 2: wind turbines because we know they haven't even been built,
- 25:13Speaker 2: but we know that they are that disruptive. That doesn't
- 25:15Speaker 2: sound like a good deal to me, just quickly. Chat
- 25:18Speaker 2: gpt has a whole range of applications, but one of
- 25:22Speaker 2: the more sinister ones that we have seen tragically is
- 25:26Speaker 2: a young man in the US has used chat ept
- 25:30Speaker 2: to teach him how to take drugs and he ended
- 25:34Speaker 2: up dying of a drug overdose. An example of the
- 25:38Speaker 2: kind of things he was talking about. He told chat ept,
- 25:42Speaker 2: I want to go full trippy peaking hard.
- 25:45Speaker 3: Can you help me? I think that's something to do
- 25:47Speaker 3: with getting.
- 25:47Speaker 2: High, and chat gpt goes, hell, yes, let's go full
- 25:51Speaker 2: trippy mode and then provides instructions saying you're in the
- 25:54Speaker 2: perfect window for peaking. Let's dial in your environment and
- 25:57Speaker 2: mindset for maximum dissociation visuals and mind drift. And then
- 26:04Speaker 2: the next chat then provided ideas for how to get
- 26:09Speaker 2: high and reduce symptoms of being high. So it is
- 26:14Speaker 2: just tragic now, this young man ended up taking chat
- 26:18Speaker 2: GPT's advice, took more xanax and ended up with this
- 26:22Speaker 2: toxic cocktail of drugs that took his life ultimately. But Jamie,
- 26:27Speaker 2: the fact that a young man could have this conversation
- 26:30Speaker 2: with chat gpt, but no alarm bells went off, nothing
- 26:35Speaker 2: was flagged in the system.
- 26:36Speaker 3: How can that happen?
- 26:38Speaker 6: But that's the sad reality of AI. And you do
- 26:40Speaker 6: hear a lot of these developers that.
- 26:42Speaker 5: Are mentioning, especially Steven Adler, who's a former AI safety
- 26:45Speaker 5: research who said.
- 26:46Speaker 6: We don't know.
- 26:47Speaker 5: We can't control a lot of what's going out there.
- 26:49Speaker 5: Like when you build an app, you know if there's
- 26:51Speaker 5: a problem, you can go in the back end and
- 26:52Speaker 5: fix it. But with AI, there's so much unknown that
- 26:56Speaker 5: they actually don't know how to stop a lot of this,
- 26:58Speaker 5: which is the scary reality. And eight hundred million people
- 27:01Speaker 5: around the world use AI every single week. And to
- 27:04Speaker 5: the point just before about that poor young boy chatch
- 27:07Speaker 5: Ebt even gave him a playlist to listen to while
- 27:09Speaker 5: he was on his drug high. That's the level of
- 27:12Speaker 5: detail that the chatbot went to.
- 27:15Speaker 1: It's misnamed. I keep insisting it is actually artificial stupidity,
- 27:20Speaker 1: which functions under the non de gear of artificial intelligence,
- 27:24Speaker 1: because it's not intelligence. Intelligence is in people. This is
- 27:27Speaker 1: a machine and machines will not make judgments about what
- 27:31Speaker 1: is good and bad for people. It's only even though
- 27:33Speaker 1: it's a very fast machine and it's got a huge
- 27:35Speaker 1: language library and all the rest of it. It's still
- 27:37Speaker 1: a machine and human lives should not be in the
- 27:39Speaker 1: hands of machine.
- 27:40Speaker 2: But then there is probably an element of personal responsibility
- 27:43Speaker 2: where if he's asking chatch Ebt how to take drugs,
- 27:46Speaker 2: he was probably going to take drugs anyway, So at
- 27:49Speaker 2: some point we do need guide rails, but maybe to
- 27:51Speaker 2: ask you.
- 27:52Speaker 6: What was safe?
- 27:53Speaker 5: True, So that was the difference that he wanted to
- 27:55Speaker 5: know the safe level of what he should be taking.
- 27:57Speaker 2: There is no such thing as a safe drug, guys.
- 27:59Speaker 2: That's the lesson from this. And don't trust Jack chant
- 28:02Speaker 2: Gpt either. But we're going to go to a break now.
- 28:04Speaker 2: Coming up after the break, a very disturbing mural has
- 28:09Speaker 2: appeared at a Sydney train station. Just wait till you
- 28:13Speaker 2: see it. Welcome back to the program. Well, a mysterious
- 28:21Speaker 2: mural has popped up at Linfield Station, which is a
- 28:24Speaker 2: train station on Sydney's affluent North Shore. Now this artwork,
- 28:29Speaker 2: I guess you could call it, that was done by
- 28:32Speaker 2: an artist called Charlotte Allingham and it depicts an Aboriginal
- 28:36Speaker 2: girl stabbing a white colonizer aka a British settler to death.
- 28:44Speaker 2: And then you can see blood pouring out of the
- 28:47Speaker 2: white person's neck. On the side it reads dead colonizers
- 28:53Speaker 2: harm no One. And on the right side there is
- 28:57Speaker 2: a picture of the Australian flag showing up in flames,
- 29:02Speaker 2: under which it is written abolish Australia. Now, this artist,
- 29:07Speaker 2: Charlotte Allingham, has received government grants, of course, because they
- 29:12Speaker 2: all hate the government till they can get money from it.
- 29:15Speaker 2: She's received the Victorian Government's Creative Project Fund in twenty
- 29:19Speaker 2: twenty two and a Screen Australia Grand also in twenty
- 29:24Speaker 2: twenty two.
- 29:24Speaker 3: But kel, imagine if this was any other race.
- 29:29Speaker 2: Imagine if the roles were reversed and it was a
- 29:32Speaker 2: white person stabbing an Indigenous person, or any other race
- 29:37Speaker 2: for that matter. I'm not sure how this doesn't meet
- 29:41Speaker 2: the threshold for racial vilification at the very least, but
- 29:45Speaker 2: even potentially crossing the line into incitement to violence.
- 29:49Speaker 1: Well, it's showing violence, isn't it. I mean that that
- 29:52Speaker 1: stabbing is a violence. Stabbing its showing violence. So will
- 29:56Speaker 1: this come under Alberesi's new HBACH laws. We wait with interest,
- 30:00Speaker 1: And I just say that Linnfield is my local railway station.
- 30:03Speaker 1: I haven't seen it I don't know where it is,
- 30:05Speaker 1: so I don't think it's all that big, and I
- 30:07Speaker 1: don't think it's all that prominent. So that's good news.
- 30:09Speaker 1: But it's just bizarre when this activist artist, whatever she is,
- 30:15Speaker 1: says abolish Australia. What she actually means is she would
- 30:19Speaker 1: like to get rid of education, medicine, science, engineering, technology,
- 30:25Speaker 1: and she would like to go back to wearing a
- 30:27Speaker 1: loincloth and living in a humpy and just hunting kangaroos
- 30:30Speaker 1: and looking for wild berries. Is that what she means?
- 30:33Speaker 1: Because all of that is a gift that we gave
- 30:37Speaker 1: to the people we found here when our ancestors arrived.
- 30:40Speaker 1: They came and they presented Western civilization to the people
- 30:44Speaker 1: who lived in a huge number of whom became really
- 30:46Speaker 1: integrated into society and said this is terrific. People like
- 30:49Speaker 1: Benelong and a host of others said this is great.
- 30:52Speaker 1: Will be part of all of this. So why these
- 30:54Speaker 1: angry activists are around now saying we don't want any
- 30:57Speaker 1: of this. I just don't think they're the thinking through it.
- 31:00Speaker 5: This ain't It's just so enough, Like, when are we
- 31:05Speaker 5: going to stop being such an apologetic culture and constantly
- 31:08Speaker 5: looking at the past and making everyone constantly feel guilty.
- 31:13Speaker 5: How can you as a society actually flourish and thrive
- 31:16Speaker 5: if you're always looking backwards instead of looking forwards. And
- 31:19Speaker 5: what concerns me about this artist? She's got seventy thousand
- 31:22Speaker 5: followers on social media. Seventy thousand people are looking at
- 31:27Speaker 5: she did have there were some other quite nice pictures
- 31:29Speaker 5: on there. I did have a stalk through her social media.
- 31:31Speaker 5: But there's also a lot of this sort of imagery
- 31:33Speaker 5: on there as well, So seventy thousand people are exposed
- 31:36Speaker 5: to this sort of hatred. Or when you're walking around Linfield,
- 31:39Speaker 5: we've sent you on a mission to go and find this.
- 31:41Speaker 1: I'll find it tomorrow.
- 31:42Speaker 6: Help.
- 31:43Speaker 5: But even just there to have the picture of the
- 31:45Speaker 5: Australian flag burning, it's just enough. We need to be
- 31:48Speaker 5: proud of our country and what we have achieved, instead
- 31:51Speaker 5: of making everyone feel bad and guilty for living here.
- 31:54Speaker 1: And I coined two words last year. I coined thevor
- 31:58Speaker 1: for mister Baltus. It happened. One is Australofile, someone who
- 32:02Speaker 1: loves Australia, and the opposite Australophobes who hate Australia. I
- 32:06Speaker 1: don't understand australophobes. She's an Australophone, she hates Australia, She's
- 32:10Speaker 1: an idiot. Australia is wonderful and the rest of us
- 32:13Speaker 1: are all Australo files. We're not on your side.
- 32:16Speaker 2: But unfortunately she is an idiot. But there are a
- 32:19Speaker 2: lot of idiots out there. And the fact that she
- 32:21Speaker 2: has seventy thousand Instagram followers, and that this kind of
- 32:24Speaker 2: stuff is celebrated with and awarded with grants from our
- 32:28Speaker 2: own state governments, I mean, yeah, we need to stop
- 32:32Speaker 2: funding our demise.
- 32:33Speaker 1: Indeed, let's turn to a really serious issue, the issue
- 32:36Speaker 1: of how we keep track of pedophiles in the community
- 32:39Speaker 1: and how we keep children safe. In Queensland, they've come
- 32:42Speaker 1: up with a pedophiles register which is available online and
- 32:45Speaker 1: since it was launched already one hundred thousand people have
- 32:48Speaker 1: gone there to have a look. Some people are saying
- 32:50Speaker 1: they're quite happy with the information they can get. Others
- 32:52Speaker 1: are saying there's not enough. Now you can get two
- 32:55Speaker 1: kinds of information. You can actually get a photograph of
- 32:58Speaker 1: someone who is a a child offender and who is
- 33:02Speaker 1: in your area geographic, but that's all just a photograph.
- 33:05Speaker 1: You don't get their name, you don't get their address
- 33:07Speaker 1: or any background to them. There's a second group called
- 33:10Speaker 1: reportable offenders, people who've already violated bail conditions or whatever,
- 33:15Speaker 1: and whose addresses are known, and in their case names
- 33:20Speaker 1: and addresses and ages and backgrounds are provided. So they're
- 33:23Speaker 1: the two groups of information you can get. Some people
- 33:25Speaker 1: are saying, look, in the case of offenders living in
- 33:28Speaker 1: our area, just getting a photograph is not enough, so
- 33:31Speaker 1: they're not happy. But other people are saying, it's okay,
- 33:35Speaker 1: we're getting enough information to feel we can keep our
- 33:38Speaker 1: children safer in the streets around our house. What do
- 33:41Speaker 1: you think, Fray, I.
- 33:42Speaker 2: Think it's a really hard one. I think it's a
- 33:45Speaker 2: step in the right direction, and it's better than nothing.
- 33:47Speaker 2: Most states don't have any sort of sex offender register
- 33:51Speaker 2: that you can check as a member of the public.
- 33:54Speaker 2: I will say it is hard from a government perspective
- 33:58Speaker 2: to actually roll one of these out, because the problem
- 34:00Speaker 2: is if you give out anything more than someone's photograph.
- 34:04Speaker 2: There's a principle in the legal system where you can't
- 34:07Speaker 2: continue to punish someone once they've served their sentence. So
- 34:11Speaker 2: if someone was convicted of a sexual crime against a child,
- 34:15Speaker 2: two decades ago. They've served their time, they've done the
- 34:18Speaker 2: right thing. Now they've supposedly rehabilitated. From a personal perspective,
- 34:23Speaker 2: of course, I would want to know their name, their address,
- 34:26Speaker 2: will they be anywhere near my children? But I do
- 34:30Speaker 2: understand legally that is complicated because technically they've served their time,
- 34:35Speaker 2: so maybe it's something where going forward for future criminal prosecutions.
- 34:41Speaker 2: One of the I guess long term punishments should be
- 34:45Speaker 2: you're permanently listed publicly on one of these sex offender
- 34:49Speaker 2: registered names.
- 34:50Speaker 6: Should be included on that.
- 34:51Speaker 5: So if you have the picture up there, I don't
- 34:53Speaker 5: expect someone's address to be posted on something like this.
- 34:56Speaker 5: I think that would be very wrong because you could
- 34:58Speaker 5: expect someone probably come knocking on their door, which is
- 35:00Speaker 5: part of the punishments. If you are to do that,
- 35:03Speaker 5: you can face ten years in prison if you harass
- 35:05Speaker 5: anyone that's on this list.
- 35:07Speaker 6: One thing that I actually did think.
- 35:08Speaker 5: Was slightly slightly concerning about this register. If you forward
- 35:13Speaker 5: the picture so to be able to go on access that,
- 35:15Speaker 5: you need to provide your Queenslane driver's license or just
- 35:17Speaker 5: proof that you live in the state and one hundred
- 35:20Speaker 5: and five thousand people did it within four.
- 35:21Speaker 6: Days, but then you can't.
- 35:23Speaker 5: So if you saw a picture of someone and you think,
- 35:25Speaker 5: oh my gosh, that's such and such as neighbor, you
- 35:27Speaker 5: can't then forward that image on or you face three
- 35:29Speaker 5: years in jail. So you would then have to potentially
- 35:32Speaker 5: message someone say, hey, you need to go register, have
- 35:34Speaker 5: a look online.
- 35:35Speaker 6: There's something you might want to see. You can't actually
- 35:38Speaker 6: forward the imagery.
- 35:39Speaker 5: So I thought, you know, just in today's culture, you
- 35:42Speaker 5: would want to straight away without thinking you would forward
- 35:44Speaker 5: the picture.
- 35:44Speaker 6: That tell people to be careful.
- 35:46Speaker 5: So I think that's some of the concerns that people
- 35:48Speaker 5: are saying, is that if you do want to genuinely
- 35:49Speaker 5: protect children, then you should at least be able to
- 35:51Speaker 5: forward it to your network if it is someone that
- 35:54Speaker 5: happens to be living nearby or you're coming in contact
- 35:56Speaker 5: with them. I do also think that their name should
- 35:59Speaker 5: be included. Of course, you can go and change your
- 36:00Speaker 5: name at some point anyway, and their pictures as well.
- 36:06Speaker 5: They probably don't look anything like their picture either, but
- 36:08Speaker 5: I think it just would add that extra level of
- 36:10Speaker 5: people feeling as though they're getting the information that they
- 36:13Speaker 5: want to see. I don't expect an address, but I
- 36:15Speaker 5: think a photo as well as a name would have
- 36:18Speaker 5: probably helped with these people having to.
- 36:20Speaker 6: Look, now, here's one Bali.
- 36:23Speaker 5: They're cracking down on who can come into their country.
- 36:26Speaker 5: So what they have said for those who are looking
- 36:28Speaker 5: to head over there soon, they want to have a
- 36:31Speaker 5: bit more of high quality travelers coming in. As a
- 36:34Speaker 5: way to do this, they are going to potentially be
- 36:36Speaker 5: looking at the bank activity, whether it's bank statements and
- 36:40Speaker 5: bank balances over the three months before their arrival into Bali.
- 36:46Speaker 6: This was just to make sure that it's a type
- 36:48Speaker 6: of caliber.
- 36:49Speaker 5: The reason why I thought that this was quite comical
- 36:52Speaker 5: was because they just had the incident with Bonnie Blue,
- 36:55Speaker 5: who went in there and she's a multi millionaire also
- 36:58Speaker 5: an only fans content creator. But based on this lot
- 37:03Speaker 5: of she's got lots of money, so she classified as
- 37:05Speaker 5: high quality. I mean she was put in prison while
- 37:07Speaker 5: she was over there and eventually kicked out of the country.
- 37:10Speaker 5: But based on these sort of leeway if you want
- 37:12Speaker 5: to go, oh, well, you're very rich and you come.
- 37:15Speaker 2: I just don't get why they would want to be
- 37:17Speaker 2: targeting their core customer market. I mean, going to Bali
- 37:21Speaker 2: as a broke twenty one year old. It's kind of
- 37:23Speaker 2: a right of passage. That is why you go to
- 37:26Speaker 2: Bali as a young person. You don't need a lot
- 37:28Speaker 2: of money, go have fun.
- 37:30Speaker 3: It's great.
- 37:32Speaker 2: Really, I mean, come on, Bali, don't bite the hand
- 37:35Speaker 2: that feeds you. They may not have a lot of money,
- 37:37Speaker 2: but there are a lot of broke backpackers that go there,
- 37:40Speaker 2: and I'm not sure how the local businesses would feel
- 37:43Speaker 2: if suddenly all of their customers were deemed not good
- 37:47Speaker 2: enough to enter Bali.
- 37:49Speaker 1: And I have a message for the authorities in Bali
- 37:53Speaker 1: who are wanting quality tourists. I'm sorry, I'm not coming.
- 37:58Speaker 3: Oh you're not a fan of ballein care No, No.
- 38:00Speaker 1: That's for people in shorts and thongs. I'm going to
- 38:02Speaker 1: go back to Europe to look at castles and cathedrals.
- 38:06Speaker 6: You know what.
- 38:07Speaker 1: They want me to go and have a cheap beach holiday.
- 38:09Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm sure you have very nice people in Bali,
- 38:11Speaker 1: but I'm not coming.
- 38:12Speaker 3: Look you are.
- 38:13Speaker 2: When you said you were from Lynnfield, I thought, okay,
- 38:16Speaker 2: probably not holidaying in Bali whole. But you fulfilled the
- 38:22Speaker 2: stereotype and that's all that matters.
- 38:25Speaker 3: Well, let's move on.
- 38:26Speaker 2: Someone else who is actually breaking stereotypes is this personal trainer.
- 38:31Speaker 2: She is a fat personal trainer, as she calls herself,
- 38:35Speaker 2: and part of her business model is being plus sized
- 38:39Speaker 2: and not the conventional Jim body. A Jim influencer who
- 38:45Speaker 2: himself is very fit, hired her for an hour. She
- 38:48Speaker 2: costs sixty bucks Australian for the hour. Pretty pretty, that's cheap.
- 38:53Speaker 2: That still sounds pretty expensive, and he actually asked her,
- 38:58Speaker 2: what do you say to the people the question and
- 39:00Speaker 2: how you could have a fat personal trainer?
- 39:03Speaker 7: What's your response to people saying that you shouldn't be
- 39:06Speaker 7: a personal trainer? Honestly, my response is the fact that
- 39:10Speaker 7: they think that health and fitness is based entirely on weight,
- 39:13Speaker 7: which is what they're judging me on. For me, health
- 39:15Speaker 7: and fitness is not just about weight. It's everything from
- 39:17Speaker 7: your mental health to your cardiovascular health. Anybody can be
- 39:20Speaker 7: a personal trainer if they train and they qualify, and
- 39:23Speaker 7: they get insurance and they get a job and they
- 39:25Speaker 7: can get clients.
- 39:26Speaker 2: Fair enough, now, one of the top comments on this
- 39:30Speaker 2: video said this is like taking financial advice from someone
- 39:33Speaker 2: who lives in a tent, which might be a bit harsh,
- 39:38Speaker 2: but Jamie look, I think, if you can't sort yourself out,
- 39:42Speaker 2: how are you going to sort me out?
- 39:44Speaker 6: You know, I come from this from a different perspective.
- 39:47Speaker 5: I personally always like to have a personal trainer that's
- 39:51Speaker 5: very fit, that you want to aspire to look like,
- 39:53Speaker 5: and you know that you're going to get a really
- 39:54Speaker 5: strong workout. But fun fact, I worked in a gym
- 39:57Speaker 5: when I was at UNI, and one of the ques.
- 40:00Speaker 5: When people would come in the door, especially as someone
- 40:02Speaker 5: who was anxious about joining a gym or overweight themselves
- 40:06Speaker 5: and trying to get onto a fitness program, they would
- 40:09Speaker 5: often see our trainers, who are all very good looking,
- 40:12Speaker 5: very fit, and would find it really intimidating, and so
- 40:15Speaker 5: they often wouldn't go ahead with a service and would
- 40:18Speaker 5: often leave and not come back. So I think that
- 40:20Speaker 5: this woman has got a huge market for her, and
- 40:24Speaker 5: go for it. If she's getting clients, and good luck
- 40:27Speaker 5: to her. I think she's got a good market there.
- 40:29Speaker 1: I wonder about this. I mean, she said, being being
- 40:32Speaker 1: fit and healthy it's not all about weight. Well, actually,
- 40:36Speaker 1: weight's got quite a lot to do with it. They
- 40:38Speaker 1: talk about all the things that weight does to your
- 40:41Speaker 1: body that are really bad for you. So I'm I'm
- 40:45Speaker 1: not persuaded by Helen. I would never have a personal
- 40:48Speaker 1: trainer because I wouldn't be bothered with But I did
- 40:50Speaker 1: have a lot of physio this year because I had
- 40:51Speaker 1: a total lee replacement TKR. But there's a whole club
- 40:54Speaker 1: of us with tkrs around Australia, and so I spent
- 40:57Speaker 1: weeks and weeks and weeks from physios who are fabulous.
- 41:00Speaker 1: But they're young, and they're fit, and they're healthy and
- 41:02Speaker 1: they're active, and I've got confidence in them for that reason.
- 41:05Speaker 3: And that's the thing.
- 41:06Speaker 2: If she had just pitched this as there's a group
- 41:09Speaker 2: of people out there that are anxious to go to
- 41:11Speaker 2: the gym, they want to work out with someone who
- 41:13Speaker 2: looks like them so they don't feel as intimidated, I
- 41:16Speaker 2: would say, go for it. That's your business model. If
- 41:19Speaker 2: you can make money like that, that's wonderful. But she's cheap, Well,
- 41:23Speaker 2: I wonder why. But when you cross that line and say, actually,
- 41:27Speaker 2: this is also just as healthy as being very physically fit,
- 41:32Speaker 2: I mean that's just objectively not true.
- 41:34Speaker 1: Yes, But I'm not going to call her fatty because
- 41:37Speaker 1: I think the way she's trained, I would get a
- 41:39Speaker 1: whack on the draw that would kill me.
- 41:42Speaker 5: But she's training for the strongman competitions, isn't she. I
- 41:46Speaker 5: believe she's also in.
- 41:47Speaker 1: The Actually the weightlifters of the Olympics are often a
- 41:51Speaker 1: bit chubby. They're often very solid, aren't they.
- 41:54Speaker 2: Oh okay, we think again, Well it might have something
- 41:57Speaker 2: to do with what they're eating, because the food pyramids
- 42:00Speaker 2: has been flipped upside down. Of course, we all have
- 42:03Speaker 2: heard of RFK who's taken over as the Health Secretary,
- 42:07Speaker 2: and one of the crusades he has been on is
- 42:10Speaker 2: to overhaul the United States food pyramid. It first came
- 42:14Speaker 2: out and I believe the sixties, under heavy lobbying from
- 42:17Speaker 2: the grain industry, and really what it's said was the
- 42:21Speaker 2: majority of your diet should come from carbohydrates, grains, all
- 42:26Speaker 2: of that stuff your body then basically just processes as
- 42:28Speaker 2: sugar and so you get massive insulin spikes. He's now
- 42:32Speaker 2: literally inverted it and said most of your diets should
- 42:35Speaker 2: come from meat and vegetables and grains and carbs should
- 42:39Speaker 2: be a very small part. Kel are you going to
- 42:41Speaker 2: be following the new food pyramid?
- 42:43Speaker 1: I don't think it's new. I actually think there's been
- 42:45Speaker 1: a number of popular diets around for a while. They've
- 42:47Speaker 1: been a high protein low carb and protein low carb
- 42:51Speaker 1: diets have worked. I'm not sure it's a massive breakthrough.
- 42:55Speaker 1: He's got some ideas which will be odd. For example,
- 42:57Speaker 1: he doesn't like seed oils. I've got no idea what's
- 43:00Speaker 1: wrong with seed oils. But seed oils are apparently terribly evil.
- 43:03Speaker 1: And he wants you to have butter or beef tallow institut.
- 43:06Speaker 3: Yeah, it's less process. It's good for you.
- 43:08Speaker 1: Americans are not naturally good at this. We were traveling
- 43:12Speaker 1: in one of the southern states in America where everything
- 43:14Speaker 1: was defried. They bought it. Someone wanted to meat pie.
- 43:17Speaker 1: The body had to eat pie, put it in one
- 43:19Speaker 1: of those wire baskets and lowered. Now, now I suppose
- 43:25Speaker 1: he'd say, as long as it's not seed oil, it's okay.
- 43:28Speaker 5: Well, he has declared a war on added sugar, and
- 43:31Speaker 5: I think they need to be doing something. I love
- 43:34Speaker 5: the slogan make America Healthy again, to stick with that
- 43:37Speaker 5: MAGA tagline. But when you look at the statistics, more
- 43:40Speaker 5: than two in five adults in the US robs and
- 43:42Speaker 5: it's one and eleven are severely obese, which is nearly
- 43:46Speaker 5: seventy five percent of the US adult population is overweight,
- 43:49Speaker 5: so they do need to do something differently, and if
- 43:52Speaker 5: this is the way to go about it. To your point, Kel,
- 43:54Speaker 5: it's nothing that's overly new, but I guess it's just
- 43:57Speaker 5: using that tagline.
- 43:58Speaker 1: Now.
- 43:58Speaker 5: It's the war on added sugar and all of those
- 44:00Speaker 5: processed sugars, which we have our own.
- 44:02Speaker 1: Here. We have the thing which is the five food groups,
- 44:05Speaker 1: and you should have a lot of this, and a
- 44:06Speaker 1: lot of this and less of this. And I must
- 44:09Speaker 1: say that the collagie I used to work with the
- 44:11Speaker 1: Black Game, Clive Robertson said the five food groups cal
- 44:13Speaker 1: are packaged, tinned, frozen, instant an uber delivered.
- 44:18Speaker 2: But I think ours also needs an overhaul. Ours is
- 44:21Speaker 2: majority well. Carbs and vegetables are the main food groups
- 44:25Speaker 2: that wants you to eat, which I'm okay with some veggies,
- 44:28Speaker 2: but that's way too many carves.
- 44:30Speaker 5: It's the complete opposite almost with what the American and.
- 44:34Speaker 1: I hear the high protein, low carb diets have actually
- 44:38Speaker 1: got a record of working.
- 44:39Speaker 6: Yeah, ours is also very complicated. I think the pyramid
- 44:43Speaker 6: is way better than there.
- 44:44Speaker 3: Of course, it is much better exactly get.
- 44:47Speaker 1: Your act together if you're doing this sort of stuff
- 44:49Speaker 1: for Australia, come on, gets your act together and make
- 44:51Speaker 1: make a bit more sense.
- 44:52Speaker 2: And it's not just food pyramids that are changing rapidly,
- 44:55Speaker 2: so are fashion trends. Young people and this is my generation,
- 44:59Speaker 2: I guess I will them are always on to the
- 45:01Speaker 2: next trend, and this time it is dental gems. So
- 45:07Speaker 2: these are little sparkly gems or pieces of gold that
- 45:10Speaker 2: you can get stuck on to your tooth. And they
- 45:15Speaker 2: are doing pop upstools at music festivals and kids are
- 45:19Speaker 2: in the spur of the moment getting gems like that
- 45:23Speaker 2: that you can see on your screen stuck onto their
- 45:26Speaker 2: teeth for I think about three to twelve months.
- 45:29Speaker 3: Jamie, of all the things you could do.
- 45:31Speaker 2: I've seen people with these in real life, and oftentimes it.
- 45:35Speaker 3: Just looks like you've got something stuck in your teeth.
- 45:38Speaker 5: It does, I do think though, when you are at
- 45:40Speaker 5: a music festival, you're caught in the moment everyone else
- 45:43Speaker 5: is doing it. I can see why they are lining
- 45:46Speaker 5: up to get a gem stuck on their tooth. I've
- 45:48Speaker 5: always would have sessed with my teeth, and when I
- 45:50Speaker 5: read this article, I thought, oh, I'd probably would be
- 45:52Speaker 5: someone that would be sucking into that when you're at
- 45:54Speaker 5: a music festival. But the gems are stuck on with
- 45:57Speaker 5: the same glue as watch the braces are. But in
- 46:00Speaker 5: this article it did say that dentists were saying to people,
- 46:03Speaker 5: please don't use pliers to remove these gems off your teeth.
- 46:08Speaker 1: They do they do any drilling to make a little
- 46:10Speaker 1: hole so the gem would fit in.
- 46:11Speaker 5: Or just stuck on, so they should just fall off, right,
- 46:15Speaker 5: so you know, you might be asleep and you wake
- 46:16Speaker 5: up the next Yeah, it's just a gem.
- 46:19Speaker 1: I can't think of a single intelligent reason for doing this.
- 46:22Speaker 1: But then on behalf of all the baby boomers, we
- 46:25Speaker 1: just think this is so silly.
- 46:28Speaker 2: Good Kel, Look, I am a gen z and I
- 46:30Speaker 2: also think it is absolutely ridiculous and there are way
- 46:33Speaker 2: better things to spend your three hundred dollars on. Guys,
- 46:36Speaker 2: But we're going to go to a break now. Coming
- 46:38Speaker 2: up after the break divers off the coast of West Australia.
- 46:42Speaker 2: Our name is Sterious Safe at the bottom of the ocean.
- 46:45Speaker 2: They dragged it up, cracked it open and you'll never
- 46:49Speaker 2: believe what they found inside. Welcome back, Kel, What did
- 46:56Speaker 2: the divers find at the bottom on the ocean floor
- 46:59Speaker 2: in West Australia.
- 47:00Speaker 1: Well, it happened at Shark Bay, which is about eight
- 47:02Speaker 1: hundred and twenty kilometers north of Perth. A man was
- 47:05Speaker 1: diving there with his thirteen year old daughter and on
- 47:07Speaker 1: the bottom of the ocean floor they found a safe.
- 47:10Speaker 1: It's a small safe, the sort of thing you see
- 47:11Speaker 1: in a hotel room, that kind of thing, and it
- 47:13Speaker 1: was just lying there. So they went to the trouble.
- 47:16Speaker 1: It cut a bit easy because they're heavy to get
- 47:18Speaker 1: it back up to their boat, took it ashore, went
- 47:20Speaker 1: to a mate, had an angle grinder and cut the
- 47:22Speaker 1: back out of the thing. And what did they find? Inside?
- 47:25Speaker 1: Bars of gold, diamonds, precious gems. No, they found a
- 47:30Speaker 1: packet of beef jerky.
- 47:32Speaker 6: That was expired.
- 47:33Speaker 1: It was very bad expired. Unfortunately, it was very special
- 47:36Speaker 1: beef jerky. It had chili and on the front of
- 47:39Speaker 1: the packet it said it's the hottest beef jerky in
- 47:42Speaker 1: the world. Is that why I was locked up?
- 47:44Speaker 6: Do you know why I love that story?
- 47:46Speaker 5: Is I just think someone is messing with the future.
- 47:49Speaker 5: Like they put beef jerky into a safe and thought
- 47:52Speaker 5: how funny will this be someone or thing that they.
- 47:54Speaker 6: Have struck gold?
- 47:55Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll open up and.
- 47:56Speaker 5: It's going to be four year expired beef jerky. So
- 48:00Speaker 5: this is another really wonderful it's just a nice, lighthearted,
- 48:03Speaker 5: funny story where some sheep decided to go and visit
- 48:06Speaker 5: a supermarket. They were fifty sheep thought that they were
- 48:11Speaker 5: following a woman who they think had snacks in her
- 48:13Speaker 5: bag and a whole right there they are all going
- 48:16Speaker 5: into this supermarket. They had customers that were jumping onto
- 48:19Speaker 5: the conveyor belt to get out of the way. This
- 48:22Speaker 5: supermarket has then since announced it's going to provide the
- 48:25Speaker 5: sheep with a year's worth of free food because this
- 48:28Speaker 5: stampede has turned out to be excellent publicity for the supermarket.
- 48:32Speaker 5: And then all of these sheep at the end all
- 48:34Speaker 5: left in a single file quite neatly walking out of
- 48:37Speaker 5: the supermarket then back to where they belong. So I
- 48:41Speaker 5: thought that's a really funny story, just some bug and old.
- 48:45Speaker 1: Yeah. A long time ago, Ben Jeff Patterson wrote a wonderful,
- 48:50Speaker 1: very funny article about how stupid sheap are. Maybe they're not,
- 48:54Speaker 1: Maybe it's just a nice you test. The sheep passed.
- 48:57Speaker 2: Look They may be stupid, but they're pretty pretty you.
- 49:00Speaker 2: So that's it from us this evening. Thanks so much,
- 49:02Speaker 2: have a great night.
- 49:04Speaker 4: M m hmm.
