  Speaker 1: Goodness is the Bolt Report.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the Volt Report. I'm Danikiti Giorgio.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Coming up on the show tonight. The UK High Commissioner
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: has a sudden change of heart after he planned to
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: snub Australia Day celebrations for the second year in a row.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: The Left just can't help themselves my thoughts. Shortly, and
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: speaking of the left, the la fires stoke climate change
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: hysteria here in Australia will expose why that is a lie.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Another vile anti.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Semitic attack rocks the streets of Sydney as Labour's friends
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: of Palestine ask for clarity on Mark Drefus's Israel trip
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: and more proof of just how strained things are between
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: the Bidens and Kamala Harris. Wait till you see what
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: happened at the funeral of Jimmy Carter. First, we live
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: in the greatest nation on Earth, the lucky country, And
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: on January twenty six, on Australia Day, we get to
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: wake up in a country, not in a war zone,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: not in a third world.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: But a free country.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: And I for one look forward to celebrating, as I'm sure.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Many of you do too. Yes, here we go again.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: It's always at this time of year when the self
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: loathing starts, except this time it's come from one of
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: our top ambassadors, Stephen Smith, who seems to be ashamed
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: of the country he represents while representing us on the
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: world stage.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Twenty four hours ago.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Australia's High Commissioner to the UK, Stephen Smith, Albow's captain's
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: pick for the job, signaled he will not be attending
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: an annual Australia de Gala dinner this month. This comes
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: a year after he cited sensitivities around celebrating the day.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: Now let's cut to the chase. If you're ashamed, get out.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: You do not deserve to represent this great country. And
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: for context, this gala is run by the Australia Day Foundation.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: It's a charity and proceeds go to supporting Australians studying
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: in Britain.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Now, this event is traditionally hosted on the closest Saturday.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: To Australia Day, but this year it's been infiltrated by
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: the Woke. The Britain Australia Society CEO Louise Mulley said
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: the event is not commemorating the landing of the First
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Fleet on the twenty sixth of January. But rather is
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: an event which is a modern, forward thinking, diverse and
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: inclusive celebration of Australia and all Australians. The progressive Left
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: strikes again with the ultimate aim of destroying everything British
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: settlers brought to Australia. And look, the Left always needs
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: some thing to feel good about, don't they, because they
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: are obsessed with this false guilt. Now, last year, Stephen
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Smith told organizers it would not be appropriate to hold
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: the gala around January twenty six which of course marks
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: the First Fleet's landing in Sydney. And unless I've missed something,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: the High Commissioner's job is to represent this country. It's
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: a role which should be regarded as a great honor.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: So for two years in a row to want to
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: miss it, it's inexcusable. As Peter Dutton said, the PM
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: should pick up the phone and sort this out today.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: What other developed.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Country refuses to acknowledge its national day. If Stephen Smith
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: is ashamed of Australia Day, he should be on the
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: next flight home.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: And of course he's right.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: But here is where it gets very convenient.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Because after the Coalition's strong criticism, just like that, Stephen
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Smith's schedule has suddenly been freed up.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: He's now apparently available after all to attend the gala.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: A High commission spokesman said the High Commissioner has now
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: been able to rearrange official travel plans in order to
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: attend the Australia Day Gala dinner on Saturday twenty five January,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: for the purpose of delivering a personal message from the
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Prime Minister to the dinner.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: How wonderfully convenient did.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Albo actually get on the phone or was it some
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: sort of public hallucination and he forgot that Australia Day
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: falls on January twenty six. It is the same day
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: every year, but it's not a priority for him. He's
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: out there ideologically freelancing and not representing the country. The
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Daily Telegraph reports mister Smith's whereabouts on January twenty six
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: remain a mystery and that no events have been planned
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: for that day due to the day being on a
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Sunday in London.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Please, Stephen Smith is paid very generously.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: How can he possibly do that job properly if he's
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: unwilling to celebrate our national day and only does so
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: because he's dragged, kicking and screaming to the gala.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Now we take pride in this country.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: We are lucky, and if Stephen Smith is struggling with that,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: he needs to be recalled or resign immediately.
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: This is someone who is paid to represent Australia overseas
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: and if Stephen Smith cannot reconcile his personal views with
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: his professional duties, then he should resign. I find the
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: stagnering that any representative of Australia overseas, and that's the
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: real High Commissioner, would be boycotting Australia Days, but.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Also begs the question where have these so called sensitivities
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: he speaks of come from? And I have a suspicion
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: it's come from within Alberan Ezi's cabinet.
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: I was a counselor about fifteen years ago in out
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: of suburban Melbourne and even back then, Australia Day was evolving.
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: And since that time Australia Day has evolved further, and
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: it is fair to say that it has become somewhat
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: controversial in parts of our community. And I think we're
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: in an interesting transition at the moment with Australia Day.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: And I've got to ask where is Olbow on this?
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: The silence is deafening. Why doesn't the Prime Minister stand
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: up and tell us how great it is to be
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: an Aussie, how proud he is to be an Aussy,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: how we should celebrate our national Day on January twenty
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: six because if he was seriously faired income about uniting
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: this country, he would do that. Yet he hasn't, and
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Labor still has not quite grasped that the game is over,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: that playing the race card is going to get you
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: nowhere with Australians who are fed up and sick and
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: tired of been placed into categories based on the color
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: of their skin. Sixty percent of us voted no to
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: this division in the Voice, and that should have settled it.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Yet year in, year out, it's the same old, tiresome debate.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Labour needs to catch up and read the room and
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: realize we're sick of the division and we've.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Got evidence that change is happening in this country.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Melbourne Storm has scrapped regular Welcome to Country ceremonies before
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: its NRL matches. An Indigenous community in North Queensland has
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: banned welcome to countries saying the ceremonies are embarrassing and
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: being abused.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Last night on this program, I spoke.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: To a Western Sydney councilor who is moving to ban
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Welcome to Country ceremonies and remove the Indigenous flag from
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: council properties.
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: People my local community want me to take a sledgehammer
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: to this because we voted sixty four percent, are known
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: to the Voice Department campaign one of the highest votes
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: in Australia, so they are very happy that this is
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: going to go ahead. And I hope that the Liberal
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: councilors on Council can tow the line with Peter Dalton's
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: wishes about the Australian flag as well, and this will
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: be the first test.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: And as he said that virtue signaling ideology is backfiring
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: enough for Peter Dutton to declare that if elected, he
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: will stand in front of the Australian flag only not
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ones as well. We've
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: seen what companies like Woolworth's backflipping on their Australia Day
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: merchandise ban. The Australian Venues Co reversed its banned within
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: a day of trying to ban celebrations at its pubs.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: But most importantly we said no to the voice. How
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: much clearer can it get? So perhaps it's time for
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Stephen Smith to get that same memo. Former Australian High
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Commissioner to Britain Richard Olsten has summed it up perfectly,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: accusing his successor of indulging his own prejudices and alienating
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: every Australian in London. Now, as I said, we live
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: in the greatest country on Earth and we should be
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: proud to celebrate that.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Stephen Smith, pack your bags.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: And come home because you do not represent this great country.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Joining me now is host of The Spectator Australia's Fire
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: at Will podcast, Will Kingston and history lecturer and author
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Stephen shaverra Hi to both of you, Thank you so
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: much for joining me on the show this evening. Look,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: let's start with Stephen Smith's Australia Day backflip. Stephen, Look,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: as I said, I find this extraordinary hard to believe
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: that he forgot that Australia Day falls on January twenty sixth.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Some sort of public hallucination there based on his track record.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: That can't be right.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: How can we have an ambassador representing this country over
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: in the UK who does not seem to want to
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: represent Australia.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: You can't.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: And it's hard to think of many other countries as
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: great as Australia. I mean, we're one of the most
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: stable democracies in world history. Economically, we've flourished over the years,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: socially peaceful. It's hard to think of another country like
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: us that have been so self loathing. And the problem
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: with the whole changing the date argument is that it
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: will inevitably lead to a further movement to abolish the
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: day altogether.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: That's the thing.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Even if there was a principled argument to changing the date,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: it's not going to change anything. It's not going to
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: take away any of the controversy, because then the next
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: step will simply be we need to abolish the day
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: all together. And that's why it's actually quite important to
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: keep the date as it is and actually just teach
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: people about what a great country this is. And the
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: other thing is that this is a very dangerous message
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: to send to immigrants, because you know, we want immigrants
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: to love and cherish and be loyal to this country,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: and yet they're getting counter messages from other people saying, well,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: maybe this isn't a.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Country that's worth celebrating.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: No really bad message to send it, particularly in days
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: like this.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Well especially when our fibers are already fracturing.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: As it is. I think you're spot on.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Will you're in London, As I said intial, it's understood
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: that no events have been planned by the High Commission
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: for January twenty sixth due to the day being on
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: a Sunday and quote being a quieter day in London's
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Central Business district. Does that bode well, I mean that
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Australia's High Commission won't do anything because it's a Sunday
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: in London.
• 11:18
  Speaker 8: Well, I think we all know that it's not really
• 11:21
  Speaker 8: because it's on a Sunday in London, and in fact,
• 11:24
  Speaker 8: the Australia House isn't even in the Central Business district.
• 11:27
  Speaker 8: It's near Covent Garden, it's near the West end that
• 11:30
  Speaker 8: here is actually quite busy on a Sunday. So that's
• 11:33
  Speaker 8: not the point. I'm sure if they wanted to get
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: people there on a Sunday they could have done. So.
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: The real issue is that this is an ideological decision
• 11:41
  Speaker 8: of that Australia House where Stephen Smith was speaking only
• 11:44
  Speaker 8: a couple of months ago, and it was the longest
• 11:47
  Speaker 8: ten minutes of my entire life. The bloke is not
• 11:50
  Speaker 8: exactly mister Charisma, but that's beside the point. The point
• 11:53
  Speaker 8: is he is part of a political class that doesn't
• 11:56
  Speaker 8: realize that the generation that he was in has come
• 11:59
  Speaker 8: and gone. People aren't tolerating this stuff anymore. You said
• 12:02
  Speaker 8: it so well in your editorial, Danika, the day of
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: the game is up.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: We used to just.
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: Stay quiet because we were afraid that there was a
• 12:09
  Speaker 8: minority amongst the elite class that would carry us into silence,
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: that would cause bigots, or would call us racists for tolerating,
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: for not tolerating's virtue singling nonsense. No longer, the vibe
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: shift is real. Trump's in now and these lefties are
• 12:23
  Speaker 8: going to have to make a decision. Do we cling
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: onto this workism or do we chart a new course?
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: And I fear it's so ingrained on the left that
• 12:29
  Speaker 8: they're going to find it very hard to chart a
• 12:31
  Speaker 8: new course.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: I completely agree the world is changing and Australia needs
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: to move with it.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: I think you're spot on now.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Look, we've all seen the devastating fires in Los Angeles
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: and they are exactly that devastating. But it didn't stop
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: the alarmists here in Australia blaming the fires on you
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: guessed it, climate change. And never mind the poor water
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: management by la or authorities who ignored warnings, the lack
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: of funding, the Biden administration stopped control burns, DEI policies,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: and the Fire Department.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: The list goes on.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: But the doomsday colt at home just couldn't help themselves.
• 13:10
  Speaker 9: The science tells us there'll be more extreme weather events
• 13:13
  Speaker 9: and they'll be more intense, and that is what we
• 13:16
  Speaker 9: are seeing playing out over recent not years, but decades
• 13:20
  Speaker 9: of Its why my government is unashamedly understanding of the
• 13:28
  Speaker 9: science of climate change.
• 13:30
  Speaker 10: We are living in a time and world of climate catastrophe.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: These are climate fires and they are raging.
• 13:42
  Speaker 10: Unprecedented in the middle of the American winter. And we
• 13:47
  Speaker 10: know that right across the world we are seeing longer
• 13:51
  Speaker 10: fire seasons and more intense fire weather. But we do
• 13:54
  Speaker 10: know we've got to step up. We've received device.
• 13:57
  Speaker 11: From the scientists very clearly four years that these kinds
• 14:01
  Speaker 11: of circumstances are going to arise more frequently, and we
• 14:05
  Speaker 11: are going to confront fire seasons that in some instances
• 14:09
  Speaker 11: will be unprecedented.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: And of course the tills are having a meltdown, Monique
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Ryan said. Paul Mullins, the former New South Wales Fire
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: and Rescue Commissioner, says, the California wildfires are happening because
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: of climate change and what we predicted. We can prevent
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: more tragedies like this by acting more effectively to reduce
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: our dependency on fossil fuels, we can prevent more tragedies.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: As she went on, Sophie Scomps added, my heart breaks
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: for the people of Los Angeles and during utterly horrific
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: and devastating fires. Usually our nations support each other during
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: our summer fire seasons, but this is their winter.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: The cost of not acting on climate change is too great.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: And over at the ABC, they're.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Freaking out how Santa Ana devil wins and climate change
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: are filling fire conditions in California. Stephen, every natural disaster
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: we hear this same thing.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: Why have I left always so? Why they so quick
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: to blame climate change.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Because they're hoping that people be so afraid of more
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: natural disasters that they'll support climate change policies and renewable energies,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: and a lot of it really is just a cynical
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: a cynical exercise by purveyors of renewables to sell more
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: renewables to governments. The thing is, we know the immediate
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: causes of these fires in California, high level fuel loads,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: bad water management, and arson. The easiest way to resolve
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: these is to fix those policies so the fires can't
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: start to begin with. Imagine, for example, a house that's
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: full of inflammables and someone comes along and says, the
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: best way to stop that house from catching fire, Rather
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: than remove all the inflammables, just turn up the air conditioning.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: That's what people are literally arguing. Rather than get rid
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: of the fuel loads and improve the water policy, let's
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: just bring the temperature of the whole planet down. It's
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: at adamat madness, especially when China is building more coal
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: mines than ever. Any changes that we make are going
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: to make no difference whatsoever.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: No, they're going to make zero difference overall.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: And will you know, there've been so many fatal errors
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: by authorities leading up to these fires. Who would have
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: thought that government failures are indeed more dangerous to the
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: world than this so called climate change.
• 16:14
  Speaker 8: Well, I'd like to pick up on something that Stephen
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: said around immediate causes, because I actually can't think of
• 16:19
  Speaker 8: another issue in society where when a problem arises, we
• 16:23
  Speaker 8: focus entirely on the long term, nebulous, possible cause instead
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: of the immediate, instead of the immediate proximate cause. It's
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: if your house gets burgled, you don't immediately winge about
• 16:37
  Speaker 8: the culture of criminality in society. You invest in a
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: new home security system, you put a fence up. These
• 16:43
  Speaker 8: are all the sensible things that we should be doing,
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: by analogy, when it comes to climate change. And because
• 16:48
  Speaker 8: the left looks at this as a religion, they can't
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: have that conversation. Sensibly. They can't say something that like, well, look,
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: the climate may be getting warmer, it's probably not as
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: bad as a lot of extremists make out to be,
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: but let's put mitigation measures in place. Unfortunately, because this
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: is a religion, they have to go to the extreme,
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: and in this instance, the extreme is lunatic net zero
• 17:09
  Speaker 8: policies as opposed to sensible mitigation measures.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: It's a complete fantasy land exactly, sending us broken backwards.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: At the same time, now look another day, another anti
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Semitic attack in this country, this time a Southern Sydney
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: synagogue has been graffeated with at least a dozen Swatsik signs.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: And listen to the Prime Minister's response today.
• 17:31
  Speaker 9: They are hateful and there's no place in Australia, our
• 17:35
  Speaker 9: tolerant multicultural community for this sort of criminal activity. Australians
• 17:41
  Speaker 9: should respect each other and overwhelmingly do regardless of their faith.
• 17:46
  Speaker 9: Where a multicultural nation, we need to be inclusive and cohesive.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Steven, It's the same old line.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: It's like a rehearse speech every time this happens by
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: the Prime Minister, and we have to face the reality
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: that this multi culturalism that he keeps speaking about has
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: actually brought people into this country who do not share
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: our values absolutely.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, when after World War II, the Greeks, the Italians,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: many of my family from Slavic regions came over here,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: it was actually not under a policy of multiculturalism. It
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: was under a policy of assimilation. And when that policy
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: changed to multiculturalism in the seventies, what that meant was
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: no longer could we say we want to make sure
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: that we only bring, we only create communities of cultures
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: that can coexist with the previous culture, because when you
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: go multiculturalism, there is no previous culture. We just say
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: we're multicultural now, and so you aren't able to sort
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: of select immigration on cultural grounds. And that's led us
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: into some really really hot water. And you'll notice it
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: on the synagogue that was attacked, not only was there
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: a swastika, but the word Allah was there as well.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: We have put ourselves in a really big mess by
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: very irresponsible immigration policy because of the ideology of multiculturalism.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: I completely agree. And the difference is the post World
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: War two.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Migrants they actually wanted to assimilate in this country and
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: they genuinely loved this country.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: And how things have changed.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Not everybody, but there certainly has been changes over time
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: and will This also comes as the Australian Federal Police
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: admit that they received one hundred and twenty four reports
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: of anti Semitic attacks targeting Australia's Jewish community in just
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: one month since December ninth. That's an incredibly awful.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: Figure, it is.
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: And look, these sits of problems were not happening when
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: the types of groups that were coming in reflected that
• 19:45
  Speaker 8: mix up that Steven mentioned earlier. Greeks, Italians, people from
• 19:48
  Speaker 8: the UK and so on. The dirty secret which no
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: one wants seven I've been conversation about this country is
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: that multiculturalism does not cannot work when you are taking
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: a lot of people from fundamentalist Islamic countries. That's the reality.
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: We're seeing that play out now in awful, terrible detail
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: in the United Kingdom as we learn more about the
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: grioming gang scandal. We've already seen this in the European Union.
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: We've already heard leaders from Cameron to Sarkozy to Merkle
• 20:13
  Speaker 8: say that multiculturalism has failed. It's about time someone in
• 20:16
  Speaker 8: Australia had the guts to say the same thing. And
• 20:19
  Speaker 8: we need to chart a new course when it comes
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: to immigration and cultural cohesion in this country.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, because it's not working at the way it's going.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: We're almost out of time, but quick answer from both
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: of you. A labor factional group supporting Palestine is called
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: on the government to clarify the purpose of Mark.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Dreyfus's trip to Israel.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Labor Friends of Palestine has declared the group holds deep
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: concerns about the Attorney General's week long visit, citing Israel's
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: ongoing war crimes. Stephen Howe split his labor on Middle
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: East policy.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: It's split not so much internally, it's split between the
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: true heart of labor, which is now pro Palestine, and
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: the face that it has to present, which is still
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: has to be that Israel is our.
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: Ally spot on quick answer from you, labor student politicians
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: that never grew up. Unfortunately, you have to speak to
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: people that you don't agree with in politics. They don't
• 21:09
  Speaker 8: seem to understand that.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: No, very very clear, Will Kingston, Steven shaver A. Nice
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: to speak to you both. Thank you so much for
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: joining me on the show this evening. Well let's move
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: on now because we have more proof. Chris Bowen is
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: the most dangerous minister in Alberanzi's cabinet and a clown
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: at the same time. The Australian reports the Energy Minister
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: weaponize the public service by instructing his department to produce
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: entirely flawed figures to allege Peter Dutton's nuclear energy plan
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: would see a forty nine percent electricity short fall by
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: twenty thirty five. The Department of Climate Change and Energy
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: now says what it did was not an analysis of
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: the coalition's nuclear energy proposals, but an assumption driven calculation.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: And yet Labour still put out this campaign.
• 21:57
  Speaker 12: But there are significantly increased rates of cancer, heart attacks
• 22:01
  Speaker 12: and strokes amongst the workforce in the nuclear industries. This
• 22:05
  Speaker 12: research has looked at over three hundred thousand workers over
• 22:09
  Speaker 12: thirty years and it's very clear that working with radiation
• 22:12
  Speaker 12: has no safe lower limit.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Joining me now is Liberal MP Garth Hamilton Garth, good
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: to see you.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: I mean the figures were clearly.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Dreamed up, they were drummed up by the Department and
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Chris Bowen deliberately lied to the Australian public.
• 22:26
  Speaker 13: These are very very serious allegations against Chris bow and
• 22:29
  Speaker 13: he's broken faith with the Australian people while being a
• 22:32
  Speaker 13: Minister of the Crown. That's not something we expect. We
• 22:35
  Speaker 13: often hear in conversation in Australia about how people have
• 22:38
  Speaker 13: lost faith or lost confidence in politicians and politics. This
• 22:42
  Speaker 13: is why, This is exactly why, because of people like
• 22:44
  Speaker 13: Chris Bowen who willfully, deliberately have misled the Australian public
• 22:49
  Speaker 13: purely for the political purposes of the Labor Party. This
• 22:54
  Speaker 13: is a gross misuse of his position I think the
• 22:57
  Speaker 13: first thing he should do is come clean. Secondly, he
• 23:00
  Speaker 13: should apologize the Australian people. I think beyond that his
• 23:04
  Speaker 13: tenure in that role must be coming to a close.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Well, surely it has to.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, clearly, you can't even get the basic arithmetic right.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: It's just astounding that the Australian public are not being
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: allowed to make up their minds on what sort of
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: energy they want to keep the lights on in this
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: country when you've got this drummed up.
• 23:21
  Speaker 13: For me, these were the people who wanted not once
• 23:24
  Speaker 13: but twice to bring a misinformation Bill into the Parliament
• 23:28
  Speaker 13: to stop people from arguing against them, and now we
• 23:30
  Speaker 13: find out that they were cooking the books at the
• 23:32
  Speaker 13: same time. This is completely uncharted territory for us.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a complete sham, isn't it. Now.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Look Opposition leader Peter Dutton will hold his first campaign
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: style rally in Melbourne on Sunday, and as we know,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: this follows Elbow's quasi election campaign across the country this
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: week where he's been splashing the cash. But Garth, does
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: this suggest that the coalition is actually anticipating an early election?
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, if Peter Dutton is also holding a campaign
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: rally so early Are you preparing to go early?
• 24:02
  Speaker 13: Well, look, we must always be prepared. First term governments
• 24:05
  Speaker 13: do have a history of going early. I still don't
• 24:08
  Speaker 13: think this election will be called until after the West
• 24:11
  Speaker 13: Australian election is my tip. But I would say this,
• 24:15
  Speaker 13: if the Prime Minister does go early, he still has
• 24:17
  Speaker 13: the answer to the Australian people what his plan is
• 24:19
  Speaker 13: for Australia. And he's walking into an election season now
• 24:22
  Speaker 13: throwing money about and throwing insults at Peter Dutton. That's
• 24:25
  Speaker 13: about it. We don't know what his plan is. Are
• 24:27
  Speaker 13: we going to see a continuation of this fence sitting
• 24:30
  Speaker 13: when it comes to Australia day? Do we support Israel?
• 24:33
  Speaker 13: Are we going to keep spending? Are we going to
• 24:35
  Speaker 13: increase taxes? What's his plan? He hasn't made those things clear.
• 24:38
  Speaker 13: He hasn't laid out any agenda for a second term.
• 24:41
  Speaker 13: It's getting a bit late in the day for that.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Well it is. We've still got a couple of months
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: to go. But I mean Australians need to make up
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: their minds in the end. Now I want to talk
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: to you about Orcus because there seems to be bipartisan
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: support for ORCUS leading into a new Donald Trump era.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: And this comes as Democratic and Republican congressman say that
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: the Orcast Security Pact is a model for how the
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: US should engage with allies and that it's domestic political
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: support is growing.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: What do you think this means for Australia.
• 25:12
  Speaker 13: Gath Well first suck, but I think it means that
• 25:15
  Speaker 13: we're lucky that Scott Morrison, when he was Prime Minister,
• 25:18
  Speaker 13: had the foresight to engage in the Orcus agreement, and
• 25:22
  Speaker 13: we're lucky that Peter Dutton, is the Defense Minister of
• 25:24
  Speaker 13: the time, was involved as well, so that we can
• 25:26
  Speaker 13: carry on that tradition. This was a great step forward
• 25:29
  Speaker 13: for us. It's good to remember that it wasn't that
• 25:32
  Speaker 13: long ago. Don Farrell, the Minister for Trade, said he
• 25:35
  Speaker 13: wasn't sure if the US was our closest ally. So
• 25:38
  Speaker 13: we've got a Labor Party who I don't think would
• 25:40
  Speaker 13: have made this agreement, and that's been clear in their
• 25:43
  Speaker 13: positions around how they see our place in the world
• 25:46
  Speaker 13: and who they think our allies are. We're lucky that
• 25:49
  Speaker 13: we're on that right foot. The question is now, how
• 25:51
  Speaker 13: do we double down this, how do we secure the
• 25:53
  Speaker 13: relationship and the goodwill that we've secured through Orcus. Prime
• 25:58
  Speaker 13: Minister this week was trying to tell us that he's
• 25:59
  Speaker 13: better placed to deal with Donald Trump. The Prime Minister
• 26:03
  Speaker 13: struggles to negotiate with Adam Bant. I think Donald Trump
• 26:06
  Speaker 13: would run straight over the top of him. I'm pretty
• 26:09
  Speaker 13: clear that Peter Dutton would be best place to deal
• 26:11
  Speaker 13: with Donald Trump in a future government.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, I did have a laugh at that story that
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: came out yesterday Garth, when Albertez he said he's best
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: place given his links in the Pacific. I'm pretty sure
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: that if Donald Trump wanted to engage with leaders in
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: the Pacific, I don't think that he'll be getting on
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: the phone to Anthony Arbernezi anytime soon and saying please,
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: can you introduce me to people? It's just a preposterous suggestion.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Now look before we let you go. Anthony Arbernezi says
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: he will serve a full term as Prime Minister if
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: he's reelected.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: But Garth, look the polls are bad.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: He's not doing too good. Could the Labor Party move
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: to punt him eventually?
• 26:49
  Speaker 13: The Labor Party is a mysterious piece. I would say
• 26:52
  Speaker 13: this though, I don't think he's in charge as Prime
• 26:53
  Speaker 13: minister now, and if he does secure a second term,
• 26:56
  Speaker 13: it will be in minority government and he won't be
• 26:58
  Speaker 13: in charge. It'll be Adam Band, the Greens and the
• 27:00
  Speaker 13: Teals will be in charge. And we've seen that sort
• 27:02
  Speaker 13: of chaos before in the Gillard government and we can
• 27:05
  Speaker 13: expect exactly the same if that's a minority government for
• 27:09
  Speaker 13: this Labor Party coming forward. I think that's a terrible
• 27:12
  Speaker 13: proposition for Australia. Labor has been at odds and ends
• 27:16
  Speaker 13: all through this term trying to work out what it
• 27:18
  Speaker 13: is they want to do, What do they still commit
• 27:20
  Speaker 13: to Voice Treaty Truth, what position they hold on things
• 27:24
  Speaker 13: like Australia Day. They're all at sea. The chaos of
• 27:28
  Speaker 13: minority government would ensure that, mister Albineasy, I don't think
• 27:31
  Speaker 13: we'd have a very strong hand on the wheel should
• 27:33
  Speaker 13: he secure his prime ministership.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: No, well, we saw that during the Gillard years and
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: we certainly don't want to go back to that sort
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: of minority government. Garth Hamilton, nice to chat to you.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much for joining me on the show
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: this evening. We'll stay with us after the break. Hollywood
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: turns on the Democrats over the La fires. But is
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: the change of heart all it's cracked up to be more?
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: Or after the break welcome back?
• 27:58
  Speaker 14: Well.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Big Hollywood names have turned on California's and Los Angeles's
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: leaders over the botched responses to the devastating wildfires raging
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: across the celebrity field Pacific Palisades and surrounding areas. Actress
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Sarah Michelle Galla led the charge, saying, City of La
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: you want everyone to evacuate, yet you have complete gridlock
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: and not one traffic cop on the roads.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: Helping. Actor James Wood vented.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: That the wildfires weren't caused by climate change but by
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: liberal idiots like Gavin Newsom. Actress Sarah Foster said, our
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: fire hydrants were empty, our vegetation was overgrown, brush not cleared.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Our reservoirs were emptied by our governor because tribal leaders
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: wanted to save fish. Our fire department budget was cut
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: by our mayor. But thank god, drug addicts are getting
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: their drug kits. Joining me now is Sky News host
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: Liz Storra. Liz, nice to see you as always. You
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: know it's interesting because I went through it earlier. The
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: left are out there blaving climate changement.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Line that they loved to pedle out.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: But the reality is is that authorities over there they
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: failed the.
• 28:59
  Speaker 15: People of one hundred percent.
• 29:01
  Speaker 16: But of course the lefties are makings is about climate
• 29:04
  Speaker 16: change because la is very famous. Fire season stretches from
• 29:08
  Speaker 16: May to October, so this being so far outside of
• 29:13
  Speaker 16: that time bracket, they're saying, well, clearly this is because
• 29:15
  Speaker 16: of increased temperatures and decreased precipitation, et cetera, and so on.
• 29:21
  Speaker 16: It's great to see the stars, though, actually throwing their
• 29:24
  Speaker 16: weight behind digging into the dems here, because as we know,
• 29:28
  Speaker 16: Hollywood is normally, you know, just giving a tongue path
• 29:32
  Speaker 16: to the dems every chance that they get. But these
• 29:35
  Speaker 16: guys have lost their homes. I've seen at least ten
• 29:38
  Speaker 16: celebrity homes that have been lost in these fires so far.
• 29:42
  Speaker 16: Those homes make headlines as opposed to the everyday people
• 29:46
  Speaker 16: for whom it's a far greater loss. Nobody really talks
• 29:49
  Speaker 16: about their homes because they're not famous. So it's wonderful
• 29:52
  Speaker 16: to see these guys actually lending their platforms and the
• 29:56
  Speaker 16: amount of followers that they have to spread the word
• 29:59
  Speaker 16: that no, thank you very much. This is due to
• 30:01
  Speaker 16: the ineptitude of the LA leadership and nothing else.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, these are the traditional Democrat voters that these
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: are these actors that come out.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: All the time.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: So it's good for them to actually stand up for
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: something for once and say no, we will not accept this.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: I completely agree.
• 30:16
  Speaker 16: All of a sudden, political tribalism goes out the door.
• 30:20
  Speaker 15: My house, he's rubbled.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: My house is on the floor now, so now suddenly, no, exactly.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: Now, look, let's go back home now.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Because Victoria police are struggling to control the wild group
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: of child criminals who are committing at least eight crimes
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: a day, resulting in thousands of separate offenses in the
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: past year. Now, figures released exclusively to The Herald's Sun
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: have revealed more than one hundred kids aged between ten
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: and seventeen were involved in at least thirty crimes each
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: last year, and that number has tripled over the last
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: five years. Liz, Look, this irks me because I always
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: look at, well, what's going on with the justice system here.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: I know you can't keep kids locked up forever, I
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: understand that, but you can't just let them go with
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: a slap on the wrist every time because they keep
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: going and then the cycle of crime continues. And if
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: the Victorian Opposition want to be serious about policy, I
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: think this is where they should be starting.
• 31:12
  Speaker 14: Well.
• 31:13
  Speaker 16: Unfortunately, the Bail Amendment Act came into effect March last year,
• 31:18
  Speaker 16: so this is supposed to be a better system, and
• 31:21
  Speaker 16: clearly these kids are still just running a muck. This
• 31:24
  Speaker 16: article details one fourteen year old boy had three hundred
• 31:29
  Speaker 16: and eighty eight chargers just swept under the rug because
• 31:32
  Speaker 16: he's only fourteen, and he was bailed for the fiftieth time,
• 31:38
  Speaker 16: just last November, the fiftieth time.
• 31:41
  Speaker 15: It really does boggle the mind because bail laws.
• 31:44
  Speaker 16: I did a bit of law at UNI, specifically criminal
• 31:48
  Speaker 16: I loved it. Bail laws are a complete mess. It
• 31:50
  Speaker 16: doesn't matter which state you're looking at. I don't think
• 31:53
  Speaker 16: any of them have it right. But when you're looking
• 31:56
  Speaker 16: at something like this, it mostly comes down to judaisual discretion.
• 32:01
  Speaker 16: So who is the magistrate this kid is coming before
• 32:05
  Speaker 16: he's saying for the fiftieth time, I'm going I can
• 32:09
  Speaker 16: see your entire record, and I know that your bad news.
• 32:12
  Speaker 15: I know that you're going to reoffend and I'm still
• 32:16
  Speaker 15: bailing you. It absolutely boggles the mind.
• 32:18
  Speaker 16: And you've got to feel sorry for the police because
• 32:20
  Speaker 16: they just keep catching police.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Police are trying, but they've got no hope when they
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: keep throwing them in front of a magistrate who keeps
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: bailing these kids and the cycle of crime continues. So no,
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: it's all over the country. This is not just a
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: Victorian problem.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: Now. Look, let's talk about.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Novak Djokovic, because he's insisted he is not anti vacks
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: but pro freedom after opening up on his Australian deportation
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: back in twenty twenty two, of course, after border officials
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: investigated his COVID vaccine status before denying him entry and
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: deporting him back to Serbia before the Australian Open. Djokovic
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: has now told GQ, I'm not pro vaccine, I'm not
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: anti VACKS. I am pro freedom to choose what is
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: right for you and your body. So when somebody takes
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: away my right to choose what I should be taking
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: from my body, I don't think that's correct.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: Liz, is he right here here?
• 33:08
  Speaker 15: Well? Who can disagree with that?
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: I agree it's perfectly said.
• 33:11
  Speaker 16: I mean, take it from someone with a master's degree
• 33:13
  Speaker 16: in human rights. Your government does not get to tell
• 33:17
  Speaker 16: you under any circumstances.
• 33:18
  Speaker 15: I don't care if there's been an ebola breakout.
• 33:21
  Speaker 16: Your government does not get to tell you what substance
• 33:24
  Speaker 16: you've got to be injected with in order to participate
• 33:27
  Speaker 16: in society. And in this case, that substance was an mRNA.
• 33:33
  Speaker 16: It wasn't a traditional vaccine as we all know them.
• 33:37
  Speaker 16: This was something different entirely, and it was still in
• 33:41
  Speaker 16: trial phases. It doesn't matter whether you're talking about Pfizer, Maderna,
• 33:44
  Speaker 16: all of them.
• 33:45
  Speaker 15: They hadn't had enough time.
• 33:47
  Speaker 16: So heck, we still don't know what the long term
• 33:50
  Speaker 16: effects are. And there's a very big reason why our
• 33:53
  Speaker 16: own government to push this hook line and sinker ceaselessly
• 33:57
  Speaker 16: for years. Onto US opened up a vaccine injury compensation
• 34:02
  Speaker 16: scheme just six months after the rollout started here in Australia,
• 34:07
  Speaker 16: because for some Australians and indeed thousands of people worldwide,
• 34:11
  Speaker 16: this has had some terrible effects.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: No look, look, I think so.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: But it's interesting that Novak Djokovic has had a lot
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: of time to reflect on this, and good on him
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: for coming out and speaking his mind. He was treated
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: very poorly Liz story, we got to leave it there.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: Good to see you as always. Thank you so much
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: for joining me on the show. Well after the break,
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: more proof of just how strange things are between the
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Bidens and Kamala Harris. Wait till you see what happened
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: at the funeral of Jimmy Carter. Right after this welcome back, Well,
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: the controversy surrounding the California fires rages on as Governor
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom is scolded for failing to listen to the
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: warnings before the blaze took hold. Everyone who went to
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: school there, they lost their homes, they last two homes because.
• 34:54
  Speaker 15: They were living in one and building another.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: Cat Please tell me, tell me what are you going
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: to do with the president.
• 35:00
  Speaker 12: Right now we're getting we're getting the resources to help rebuild.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: Is there no water in the hydrants?
• 35:05
  Speaker 14: Governor? That's all literally?
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: Is it going to be different next time? It has
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: to be has to be of course, what are you
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: going to do to fill the hydrants?
• 35:14
  Speaker 14: I would fill them up personally.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: You know that joining me now is Brad versus everyone
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: podcast host Brad Palumbo.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: Brad, thank you for joining me.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Explain to us just how badly authority screwed up over there.
• 35:28
  Speaker 17: Well, it's just take your pick. It's really a disgrace
• 35:32
  Speaker 17: what's happening there. Because you've got the Mayor of Los
• 35:35
  Speaker 17: Angeles overseas in Ghana on some sort of Biden administration
• 35:39
  Speaker 17: diplomatic trip. Then you've got Gavin Newsome heading the streets
• 35:43
  Speaker 17: here and trying to call Biden repeatedly but can't get through.
• 35:47
  Speaker 17: Needs Elon Musk's starlink to help them out, I think.
• 35:51
  Speaker 17: But the real thing is, it's really tragic what's happening
• 35:53
  Speaker 17: in our country and to our fellow citizens right now.
• 35:57
  Speaker 17: But the bigger picture answer questions that need to be
• 35:59
  Speaker 17: answered are about California's pretty extreme green policies, about forest
• 36:05
  Speaker 17: management and about kind of environmentalistic goals where they've prioritized
• 36:11
  Speaker 17: things like protecting certain species and the number of trees
• 36:16
  Speaker 17: over the kind of burning that people say is necessary
• 36:19
  Speaker 17: to prevent these kinds of fires. That will be a
• 36:22
  Speaker 17: huge kind of unpacking of everything that's happened that needs
• 36:26
  Speaker 17: to happen. But I don't think they're covering themselves in
• 36:29
  Speaker 17: glory right now.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: No, Well that's very clear, And look, I've got to
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: say the fire departmentsdi policies. That doesn't help either have
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: a listen to this ad that they put out.
• 36:41
  Speaker 18: You want to see somebody that responds to you house
• 36:44
  Speaker 18: your emergency, whether it's a medical call or a fire call,
• 36:47
  Speaker 18: that looks like you. It gives that person a little
• 36:49
  Speaker 18: bit more ease knowing that somebody might understand their situation better.
• 36:53
  Speaker 18: Is she strong enough to do this? Or you couldn't
• 36:56
  Speaker 18: carry my husband out of a fire? Which my response is,
• 36:58
  Speaker 18: see got himself in the wrong place If I have
• 37:00
  Speaker 18: to carryhim.
• 37:01
  Speaker 8: Out of a fire.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: What on earth, Brad, I've got to say, doesn't fill
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: you with much hope, does it in the event of
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: a fire?
• 37:11
  Speaker 17: What a sick clown show? I mean on the ground
• 37:15
  Speaker 17: over there in La, we've got lots of members of
• 37:17
  Speaker 17: the fire department just working heroically around the clock right now,
• 37:21
  Speaker 17: and we don't really know I'll say enough now to say,
• 37:24
  Speaker 17: oh they do a good job or a bad job.
• 37:27
  Speaker 17: But we are learning that the departments over there have
• 37:30
  Speaker 17: been infected with DEI insanity, Like whatever the heck we
• 37:34
  Speaker 17: just watched? I mean to first off, I don't care
• 37:37
  Speaker 17: what my firefighter looks like. I care if they can
• 37:40
  Speaker 17: save my life. From the burning flames. I don't care
• 37:43
  Speaker 17: what box they check off on the census, and I
• 37:45
  Speaker 17: don't think most Americans do either. And two, she's like
• 37:49
  Speaker 17: shaming the man who needs to be helped. That's your job.
• 37:54
  Speaker 17: You have to be able to carry a grown man,
• 37:56
  Speaker 17: and if you can't, I don't care how many identity
• 37:58
  Speaker 17: categories you check off. You shouldn't be a firefighter, and
• 38:01
  Speaker 17: you shouldn't be What if you're shaming people because they've
• 38:05
  Speaker 17: gotten themselves into the situation. It's a real doozy.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Literally, I couldn't care less what they look like as
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: long as you save people from a fire. I mean
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: it just it boggles the mind, Brad that this is
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: where we are in twenty twenty five.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: Now, look, we've got to talk about the funeral for.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Carter, because boy did it descend into a comedy
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: skit of sorts. Firstly, in this video, you can see
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: here Carmala Harris and Jill Biden. Oh, it's frosty. It's
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: really frosty. They can't even look at each other. And
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: then have a look at this. Donald Trump walks in
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: and starts having a good old chat to his mate
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: Barack Obama. And if you look closer at Kamala Harris,
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: if looks could kill. She didn't look too happy when
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: she looked over her left shoulder. There, Brad, this is
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: comedy gold.
• 38:53
  Speaker 17: It really tells you what it's like behind the scenes there.
• 38:55
  Speaker 17: And it's not all well in Paradise between the Bidens
• 38:59
  Speaker 17: and the Harris for sure, because of the perceived backstabbing.
• 39:04
  Speaker 17: I think they feel somewhat rightly, but also like you
• 39:07
  Speaker 17: should have gotten out of the race. So but anyway,
• 39:11
  Speaker 17: the trouble in paradise over there. To me, the really
• 39:13
  Speaker 17: interesting thing is how cozy Trump and Obama seemed to be,
• 39:17
  Speaker 17: because just five minutes ago Obama was out here telling
• 39:19
  Speaker 17: us that Trump is the new Hitler. And we see
• 39:22
  Speaker 17: this all the time, where they claim in one breath
• 39:25
  Speaker 17: that the Republicans are fascists they must be stopped. Trump
• 39:28
  Speaker 17: is the new Hitler, and then in the next breath
• 39:30
  Speaker 17: you see them kind of howling around and joking around
• 39:34
  Speaker 17: and being friendly. And to me, the math is not mathing.
• 39:37
  Speaker 17: If he's really Hitler, you wouldn't be kind of just
• 39:40
  Speaker 17: chatting it up with him and having a grand old time.
• 39:43
  Speaker 17: Once again, these people's words don't match their actions because
• 39:47
  Speaker 17: they're frauds.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: Well exactly, and actually we've got it. We've got a
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: clip of that that've come a long way since this moment.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: Have a look.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: General John Kelly, Donald Trump's former chief of staff, said
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: that Trump told him he.
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: Wanted his generals to be like Hitler's generals.
• 40:08
  Speaker 10: Now, don't boom boom.
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: Now, I want to explain that in politics, a good
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: rule of thumb is don't say you want to do
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: anything like.
• 40:19
  Speaker 14: Hi, Brad.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: After all that negativity during the campaign, it looks like
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: Trump was not a threat to democracy after all.
• 40:29
  Speaker 17: Well, certainly not on the level of Hitler. I think
• 40:31
  Speaker 17: we knew that all along, but now we know that
• 40:34
  Speaker 17: they didn't actually believe it when they were saying it,
• 40:37
  Speaker 17: because if you did, I don't think you'd be just
• 40:40
  Speaker 17: sitting in and having a great time and chatting it
• 40:43
  Speaker 17: up with somebody. Obviously there's politeness and civility, then there's that.
• 40:47
  Speaker 17: I mean, they look genuinely friendly and like they're having
• 40:51
  Speaker 17: I've seen some people trying to analyze their conversation with
• 40:54
  Speaker 17: lip readers. I won't get into all that speculation, but
• 40:57
  Speaker 17: they look like they're having a good time. Andmocrats do
• 41:00
  Speaker 17: this all the time, where the rhetoric is not matched
• 41:03
  Speaker 17: by their actions, and I just think the public's getting
• 41:05
  Speaker 17: sick of their fraudulens and their constant moral grand standing.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Absolutely I agree, But gee, that funeral today, I couldn't
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: keep my eyes off all those clips. I thought it
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: was hilarious. Brad Palumbo, nice to see you. Thank you
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: very much for joining me on the show this evening. Well,
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: now it is time to sort the winners and losers
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: of the week. And helping me to do that, as
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: always is VERV Communications prou McSween pre happy to see it,
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: Nice to see you. Now, look, we've got to talk
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: about our winners and losers, starting with your winner. You've
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: got donton skewing Alberanisi on Bruce Highway by banning the CFMU.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: We did a little trade. There is your winner.
• 41:46
  Speaker 19: Tell us, well, I think that you know, he Anthony
• 41:50
  Speaker 19: aldermaniz he really has undermissed it, underestimated Dunton, and he
• 41:55
  Speaker 19: thinks that he can just you know, as long as
• 41:58
  Speaker 19: he spins lies about him, et cetera.
• 42:00
  Speaker 14: But what Dutton has done is a gazump in.
• 42:03
  Speaker 19: Firstly, we know that Albanesi really when he was elected
• 42:07
  Speaker 19: despite saying he was going to subsidize.
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: The Bruce Highway.
• 42:11
  Speaker 14: Everything was put on hold.
• 42:13
  Speaker 19: Then suddenly when he's got to win some seats in Queensland,
• 42:17
  Speaker 19: he's cynically saying, okay, I'm going to fund the Bruce Highway,
• 42:20
  Speaker 19: which of course does need funding. And there he comes
• 42:23
  Speaker 19: Dutton's says, I'm going to raise you one, but we're
• 42:26
  Speaker 19: not going to have these crooks on the ft ZFMU
• 42:30
  Speaker 19: suddenly adding thirty percent to all the budget and creating
• 42:34
  Speaker 19: mayhem and standover tactics. So I just think he's put
• 42:37
  Speaker 19: Albanesi right in his place. And the good thing is
• 42:40
  Speaker 19: for Queensland North Queensland in particular that they're going to
• 42:43
  Speaker 19: get the Bruce Highway because it's such a deadly highway.
• 42:46
  Speaker 14: But you know, there's a lot of winging going on
• 42:49
  Speaker 14: about the.
• 42:49
  Speaker 19: Fact that you know eighty twenty percent. You know, the
• 42:52
  Speaker 19: Feds are going to give more money, but it's needed,
• 42:54
  Speaker 19: and good on Dutton for showing Albanesi up yet again.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: Well the thing is, you know, goes up there with
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: a bag of cash going here, I'm going to spend
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: this but okay, it's a bad stretch of road. But
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: We've known that, prou We've known that for a long time.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: So why now because there's an election around the corner.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: He should have done this years ago. This is the problem.
• 43:13
  Speaker 14: Now.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: Look my winner of the week I had to give
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: it this week to the missing bushwalker Hardy Nazari.
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: This is a phenomenal story.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: He has been found alive after surviving thirteen days in
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: the rugged wilderness alone after going missing from Kosiosco National Park.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: Now police said he managed to stay alive after finding
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: a hut in the mountains. He survived off two musli bars,
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: and they said that his previous hiking experience and overall
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: fit health likely helped him to survive. He's also a
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: medical student. This is an incredible story, prew because really
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: at one point they said that they lost hope, but
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: they were finding clues along the way. The rescue operators
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: that he was indeed alive, And Jesus is going to
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: make a good documentary one day. He's got a story
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: to tell.
• 43:55
  Speaker 19: Has it has Probably he'll make a lot of money
• 43:57
  Speaker 19: if he wants to imagine the Mars bar people. He's
• 44:00
  Speaker 19: probably got an agent banging on his door already. But
• 44:04
  Speaker 19: it's a great lesson in you know, really people who
• 44:07
  Speaker 19: go out bush for tricks need to take the right
• 44:11
  Speaker 19: safety equipment so that they can be found. And of
• 44:14
  Speaker 19: course he was smart, being a highly intelligent medical student.
• 44:18
  Speaker 19: He knew about the hydration thing and leaving the you know,
• 44:22
  Speaker 19: the little hints. The fact that he recorded on the
• 44:25
  Speaker 19: camera and everything for people to find him was a
• 44:27
  Speaker 19: really great thing.
• 44:28
  Speaker 14: So a wonderful outcome.
• 44:30
  Speaker 19: But boy, you know, it's a lesson to everybody who's
• 44:33
  Speaker 19: contemplating going walking out out in the wilderness.
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: Yes, it is, it is.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: But he's lucky that he had the skills because the
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: average person who didn't have those skills, it could have
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: been a lot worse. Now let's go through our losers
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: of the week. Yours is Chris Bowen. Gee, this bloke,
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, requesting the public service to come
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: up with some stats to attack the oppositions nuclear policy,
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: just plucked them out of thin air, prow like in
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: a dream.
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: It came to him as a dream and he sold
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: it to the public.
• 44:58
  Speaker 19: Mate, this is a perman loser, I mean the loser
• 45:02
  Speaker 19: every week, but in this case, you know, the hide
• 45:06
  Speaker 19: the hootspar of the man.
• 45:07
  Speaker 14: What is it?
• 45:08
  Speaker 19: With these vertically challenged politicians like Pursuto and Bowen that
• 45:13
  Speaker 19: really think that their egos must be so huge that
• 45:16
  Speaker 19: they can get away with this kind of crap, and
• 45:19
  Speaker 19: you know, bluster on the fact that he is now
• 45:23
  Speaker 19: saying that, you know, he he didn't really you know
• 45:27
  Speaker 19: what was it. It's Frontier economics, that's right, Frontier economics
• 45:31
  Speaker 19: who have worked for the Labor Party before, so they've
• 45:34
  Speaker 19: endorsed them, but they've been coming out and saying the
• 45:37
  Speaker 19: guy is a buffed This is really making assumptions that
• 45:40
  Speaker 19: are so wrong. But he's prepared to go to any
• 45:43
  Speaker 19: lengths to lie and to fabricate and to win the argument.
• 45:48
  Speaker 14: And the thing about him.
• 45:49
  Speaker 19: Is the hypocrisy is that Labor has never ever released
• 45:53
  Speaker 19: their figures on the energy crisis that I think that
• 45:57
  Speaker 19: they've created. They don't tell us how many how much
• 46:00
  Speaker 19: they're really subsidizing the industry, and they don't tell us,
• 46:04
  Speaker 19: you know, how far behind they are with it all,
• 46:06
  Speaker 19: and what is going to provide the base load power
• 46:10
  Speaker 19: because we know hydro is not going to do.
• 46:12
