Speaker 1: On scoring Lils Ostrodio.
0:05
Speaker 2: This it's the Reader Panalty Show.
0:08
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Reader Panety Show.
0:11
Speaker 4: Coming up tonight, New South Wales Premier Chris Mins takes
0:14
Speaker 4: on tany plibenseeg over the scrapping of a.
0:17
Speaker 3: Billion dollar gold mine.
0:19
Speaker 4: The US media sinks to new lows and their efforts
0:22
Speaker 4: to promote the Harris presidential campaign and a new pushback
0:27
Speaker 4: against welcome and acknowledgment of country announcements.
0:30
Speaker 3: A've been discussing that later in the.
0:32
Speaker 4: Hour, and we have an extended edition of Lefty's Losing
0:37
Speaker 4: It starring Hollywood actor and comic Rob Schneider putting a
0:41
Speaker 4: Lefty snowflake in the audience in his place.
0:45
Speaker 5: Free speech isn't the speech you like, Nay. Stuff's now
0:48
Speaker 5: what needs to be protected. It's the stuff that you hate.
0:51
Speaker 5: It needs to protection so that somebody, like the government
0:54
Speaker 5: or you, doesn't get to decide what everybody else gets
0:56
Speaker 5: the Here.
1:00
Speaker 4: Joining me now is Sky News contributor Kosher Gator. Let's
1:03
Speaker 4: start with former Home Affairs Minister Clara O'Neil is now
1:07
Speaker 4: Housing Minister, claiming the Liberals want to make housing affordability worse.
1:14
Speaker 4: This is after Opposition leader Pitter Dutton and announced the
1:16
Speaker 4: axing of the Commonwealth's ten billion dollar Housing Australia Future Fund.
1:21
Speaker 6: Do you want to hear an absolutely terrible way to
1:24
Speaker 6: solve Australia's housing shortage cut funding for housing. Yet today
1:28
Speaker 6: that is exactly what the Liberals have said that they
1:30
Speaker 6: will do. The Housing Australia Future Fund is one of
1:33
Speaker 6: the main ways that the alban Esi government is helping
1:35
Speaker 6: address Australia's chronic housing shortage.
1:38
Speaker 3: Only that's not really happening.
1:39
Speaker 4: Kosher housing crisis has only got worse under the alban
1:44
Speaker 4: Eazy government. And also interested in your response to the
1:49
Speaker 4: way Clara O'Neil is presenting her messaging on social media.
1:53
Speaker 3: She's very active.
1:55
Speaker 4: I know the Greens have been pushing housing as an
1:58
Speaker 4: issue and I think she thinks if she's on X
2:01
Speaker 4: and now the social media sides, she can speak to
2:04
Speaker 4: that demographic.
2:05
Speaker 7: That is interesting because social media allows you to micro
2:08
Speaker 7: target specific issues to specific segments, and I do think
2:12
Speaker 7: around the world, people that are more savvy with social media,
2:14
Speaker 7: regardless what their positions are, are going to be advantaged
2:17
Speaker 7: and the rest of the folks that aren't as Sava
2:20
Speaker 7: that need to wise up and learn it because it
2:22
Speaker 7: is the medium of.
2:22
Speaker 3: The future for sure.
2:24
Speaker 7: In terms of the policy, it's the classic playbook invite
2:27
Speaker 7: the world in and then to spend more money and
2:29
Speaker 7: wave it as some sort of magic wand and she's
2:31
Speaker 7: trying to frame that as a negative thing or a
2:34
Speaker 7: heartless thing. As you say, it's been accelerating under albineesy
2:37
Speaker 7: cost of living and housing, and specifically it's a broader,
2:41
Speaker 7: deeper issue that points to immigration. And if you just
2:43
Speaker 7: have the quantum of people that are coming in into
2:46
Speaker 7: a society that has limited supply, that's the core reason.
2:49
Speaker 7: And then on top of that there's other economic incentives
2:51
Speaker 7: that make it worse.
2:52
Speaker 3: People know that.
2:53
Speaker 7: But again, if she's effective at hitting the right buttons
2:56
Speaker 7: with the right people on social media, she might get
2:57
Speaker 7: some cut through.
2:59
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, they never talk about immigration's impact on the
3:03
Speaker 4: housing crisis, including the Greens. They would never venture into
3:07
Speaker 4: that sort of common sense area. And the other issue
3:11
Speaker 4: is instead of actually just cutting some regulations so developers
3:14
Speaker 4: can develop, they just want to have market manipulation and
3:18
Speaker 4: have government taxpay funds going into this sector, which we
3:22
Speaker 4: know is possibly the most inefficient way to actually provide housing.
3:26
Speaker 7: Yeah, why do the hard work when it's easy to
3:28
Speaker 7: just spend money with no accountability, which.
3:30
Speaker 3: Is what it comes done now. Just sent to Alan
3:33
Speaker 3: Is hitting out at Peter.
3:34
Speaker 4: Dutton's call to put a pause on visas for Palestinians
3:38
Speaker 4: from the Gaza region. The Victorian premier accused of Federal
3:42
Speaker 4: Opposition leader of a lack of empathy, saying if now
3:47
Speaker 4: is not the time to show compassion to all who
3:49
Speaker 4: want to seek refuge.
3:51
Speaker 3: Here, then when is.
3:53
Speaker 4: But the issue is were not one hundred percent sure
3:55
Speaker 4: of that all those who are coming from Gaza, which
3:58
Speaker 4: is ruled by a terroristoreization Hermas, are going to be
4:02
Speaker 4: compassionate to their fellow Australians, if they're going to share
4:06
Speaker 4: our values, if they're going to be fit to be
4:09
Speaker 4: in this society. I think what people want, and this
4:12
Speaker 4: has been discussed at length, is just some thorough checks
4:15
Speaker 4: before people are admitted.
4:17
Speaker 7: At a minimum. And that's again the playbook of framing
4:20
Speaker 7: things in moralistic terms like oh, you're lacking compassion or
4:24
Speaker 7: where is your compassion? That's how they try to do
4:26
Speaker 7: it as supposed to get into the substance of it.
4:27
Speaker 7: Here's an idea for distant to Alan. Maybe the time
4:30
Speaker 7: to show compassion is after the neighboring countries like Egypt,
4:33
Speaker 7: like Saudi Arabia maybe take some Or maybe the time
4:35
Speaker 7: to show compassion is back to the previous topic. When
4:38
Speaker 7: the average household income of Australians goes up by five
4:41
Speaker 7: percent or the housing crisis is believed a little bit,
4:43
Speaker 7: maybe then we should be showing compassion for other people
4:45
Speaker 7: coming up.
4:46
Speaker 3: I'll tell you it's been a rough week for just
4:47
Speaker 3: into Alan.
4:48
Speaker 4: She started off getting booed in her electricity Bendigo at
4:53
Speaker 4: the Bush Summit, and I think she was expecting that.
4:56
Speaker 3: But all she did for her very lengthy.
4:59
Speaker 4: Speech before the book being started was just talk about
5:02
Speaker 4: how much the Victorian government has spent and when you're
5:05
Speaker 4: looking at their debt, when you're looking at what a
5:07
Speaker 4: crisis we have in this stadium, particularly due to the debt,
5:11
Speaker 4: she seems to be completely tone deaf to the situation.
5:15
Speaker 3: And really, I don't know.
5:16
Speaker 4: I think she has been protected from Victorians for too long.
5:21
Speaker 4: She needs to get out there and have a chat
5:22
Speaker 4: to the ordinary mums and dads. Now let's talk about
5:26
Speaker 4: Environment Minister Tania Plibasek. She was notably missing from the
5:30
Speaker 4: Daily Telegraphs Bush Summit in Orange today, and she refuses
5:35
Speaker 4: to explain or really answer, how she came to the
5:39
Speaker 4: decision to ban a one billion dollar gold mine that
5:42
Speaker 4: was going to be built nearby that would have created
5:46
Speaker 4: hundreds of jobs, would have provided around two hundred million
5:50
Speaker 4: in taxes and revenue for the New South Wales government
5:55
Speaker 4: and even the Labor Premier there Chris Mins is demanding
6:00
Speaker 4: answers from Tania Pulversex's decision.
6:03
Speaker 8: I'm disappointed by the decision from the Commonwealth government. You
6:06
Speaker 8: disagree with the reversim Saliva said that many times and.
6:09
Speaker 6: So in your view, Tenure Plevasik using that power was.
6:13
Speaker 3: She was in error yes in budget estimates.
6:17
Speaker 4: On Wednesday, Premier Mins even read out an expert from
6:21
Speaker 4: the submission from the Orange Local Aboriginal Land Council Group
6:25
Speaker 4: where they said we question the motives of people and
6:29
Speaker 4: organizations who participate in promoting unsubstantiated claims and seek to
6:34
Speaker 4: hijack Aboriginal cultural heritage in order to push other agendas.
6:39
Speaker 4: Tania pluv Sec is insisting she listened to a different group,
6:43
Speaker 4: the We're a Dury Traditional Owners Central West Aboriginal Corporation
6:48
Speaker 4: who insist the gold mine project was going to be
6:51
Speaker 4: built on an area of cultural significance.
6:56
Speaker 3: Now, I've spoke to the former.
7:01
Speaker 4: New South Wales Aboriginal Land Council chair on Outsiders on
7:06
Speaker 4: Sunday and he said, these Aboriginal heritage laws, and this
7:11
Speaker 4: is an isolated case, are being hijacked by different types
7:16
Speaker 4: of activists to stop development.
7:18
Speaker 3: And this may be one of.
7:19
Speaker 4: The biggest examples of it, but it certainly isn't the
7:22
Speaker 4: only one.
7:23
Speaker 7: It's certainly something that we see happening everywhere where. People
7:26
Speaker 7: can hijack any instrument at their disposal to advance whatever
7:30
Speaker 7: the cause is. I also think it goes to the
7:33
Speaker 7: coalition of the fringes, which is what the left side
7:35
Speaker 7: of the aisle has become increasingly, and that's how you
7:38
Speaker 7: kind of see that fracturing of what Chris Mins even
7:40
Speaker 7: was saying in his own party versus whatever agenda she's
7:43
Speaker 7: supposedly serving in here. And then the third thing. I
7:46
Speaker 7: don't know this in this particular case, but it also
7:48
Speaker 7: does point a little bit to influence and lobbying and
7:51
Speaker 7: things like that that come into play that might be
7:53
Speaker 7: behind the scenes an undercurrent of why certain people or
7:57
Speaker 7: certain politicians go for an issue that clearly there is
8:00
Speaker 7: no consensus even in their own party.
8:03
Speaker 4: It's I think one that's not going to go away
8:05
Speaker 4: because this one was just such a big project. It
8:08
Speaker 4: would have had such a profound impact in that area,
8:11
Speaker 4: with well paying jobs for the local communities. I think, yeah,
8:15
Speaker 4: we're going to see a lot more objections to this decision. Now,
8:19
Speaker 4: let's talk about metaboss Mark Zuckerberg making the astonishing demnition
8:24
Speaker 4: that the Biden Harris administration repeatedly pressured our teams four
8:29
Speaker 4: months to censor certain COVID nineteen content, including humor and satire,
8:33
Speaker 4: and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when
8:37
Speaker 4: we didn't agree.
8:37
Speaker 3: He also said, in.
8:38
Speaker 4: A separate situation, the FBI warned us about a potential
8:42
Speaker 4: Russian disinformation operation about the Biden family and Barrisma in
8:47
Speaker 4: the lead up to the twenty twenty election. It's since
8:50
Speaker 4: been made clear that the reporting was not Russian disinformation,
8:54
Speaker 4: and in retrospect, we shouldn't have demoted the story.
8:59
Speaker 3: We've been talking about this all week. More and more
9:02
Speaker 3: revelations are coming out.
9:04
Speaker 4: Some of this stuff makes Watergate look like a Teddy
9:06
Speaker 4: Bear's picnic. The timing of it, I'm very dubious about,
9:10
Speaker 4: as I've said previously, saying it now as opposed to
9:13
Speaker 4: when it mattered, and feigning ignorance to suppress.
9:20
Speaker 3: The story of the New York Post. I think that's
9:25
Speaker 3: just outrageous.
9:26
Speaker 4: But the FBI's roll, because the FBI knew the laptop
9:30
Speaker 4: was real, and for them to be out there behind
9:32
Speaker 4: the scenes getting social media sites to ban or suppress
9:37
Speaker 4: this story, questions have to be asked about the FBI
9:42
Speaker 4: and election interference.
9:43
Speaker 7: That's the bigger part of the story. So there's two
9:45
Speaker 7: angles to it. The free speech, which is the battle
9:48
Speaker 7: of the century as we're discussing all the time with
9:50
Speaker 7: many stories, and just the idea that a platform that
9:54
Speaker 7: enjoys at least in the US Section two thirty, which
9:56
Speaker 7: is liability immunity, can go out there criminately decide what
10:01
Speaker 7: they want to censor and what they want to suppress.
10:03
Speaker 7: On top of that, though, the bigger issue is these agencies,
10:05
Speaker 7: the FBI and the fifty one intell agencies that famously
10:08
Speaker 7: said it was Russian disinformation, and that is interfering in
10:12
Speaker 7: domestic affairs for partisan ends, which is expressly what they're
10:15
Speaker 7: not supposed to be doing. A lot of those are
10:17
Speaker 7: even foreign focused intell agencies, and you know, that's a
10:20
Speaker 7: huge deal. I think what's frustrating about it is that
10:22
Speaker 7: the effects are so quick and strong when they happen,
10:26
Speaker 7: and then the confessions, which is what this was, happens
10:29
Speaker 7: four years later in a very weak need way. But
10:31
Speaker 7: the damage is already done. So hopefully it turns around.
10:35
Speaker 7: But it is definite an extraordinary confession.
10:37
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely.
10:38
Speaker 4: And there's all sorts of suggestions from people that this
10:42
Speaker 4: should see jail terms for those who were complicit in this,
10:48
Speaker 4: because it wasn't innocent errors. This was a deliberate campaign.
10:53
Speaker 4: Now king swing states are refusing to remove Robert F.
10:57
Speaker 4: Kennedy Junior's name from the presidential ballot, insisting the independent
11:01
Speaker 4: candidate who dropped out of the race last week to
11:04
Speaker 4: support Donald Trump cannot be removed because it's either too
11:09
Speaker 4: late in the case of Wisconsin, or apparently impossible for
11:13
Speaker 4: minor party candidates to withdraw. According to Michigan, Kennedy's withdrawal
11:17
Speaker 4: could move the needle in certain states like Michigan and Wisconsin,
11:21
Speaker 4: where the margin between Trump and Harris is incredibly slim
11:25
Speaker 4: according to some recent polling. So this refusal again interesting.
11:31
Speaker 3: I mean, they didn't have any qualms about.
11:34
Speaker 4: Removing Joe Biden's name and puting Kamala Harris's name there.
11:37
Speaker 4: But what impact could this have? Could this possibly see
11:43
Speaker 4: a result swing one way or the other?
11:46
Speaker 7: Possibly because everybody's saying that he was pulling at five
11:48
Speaker 7: to six percent in those stats that are going to
11:50
Speaker 7: be won and lost on reason, then margins forty thousan
11:53
Speaker 7: votes on many thousand voots. Now he is throwing his
11:55
Speaker 7: support behind Trump. But when you show up in the
11:57
Speaker 7: voting booth and if the name is still on the
11:58
Speaker 7: ballot or there might be fifty thousand people who just
12:02
Speaker 7: see that there and in that moment, you know, pull
12:04
Speaker 7: the lever for him. So it actually can play a role.
12:07
Speaker 7: It also really shows it's a glaring example of the
12:11
Speaker 7: whole debate about election integrity that has become very controversial.
12:14
Speaker 7: This is one example where it really is absurd that
12:17
Speaker 7: he has talked about RFK Junior has talked about having
12:20
Speaker 7: to have spent tens of millions of dollars to gain
12:22
Speaker 7: ballot access, which they were fighting him every step of
12:25
Speaker 7: the way. The Democrat Party. Now when it's clear they
12:27
Speaker 7: will help him, they're trying to take it off And
12:29
Speaker 7: the same secretaries of State are actually trying to also
12:31
Speaker 7: take Cornell West off the ballot in those states because
12:34
Speaker 7: that could hurt the Democrat Party. So the whole thing
12:37
Speaker 7: is really absurd and hopefully.
12:38
Speaker 4: Them and I think it's something that Australanes don't understand
12:42
Speaker 4: when they hear about how so many Americans don't trust
12:46
Speaker 4: the election results, that don't think they're actually above board
12:49
Speaker 4: when they talk about elections being fixed or stolen or
12:55
Speaker 4: what was the word the Democrats like to use, highlight
12:59
Speaker 4: fortify thought it that prefer to say we've fortified the election.
13:02
Speaker 4: Australians don't realize our system is so dramatically different to theirs,
13:08
Speaker 4: and there is scope to interfere and really impact the
13:13
Speaker 4: vote state by state.
13:15
Speaker 7: It really is with his ballot measures, with the suppression
13:17
Speaker 7: of media that we just talked about, with just the
13:20
Speaker 7: error reach, when you have mass mail in balloting, and
13:22
Speaker 7: you know mass mailing, all those things can in an
13:25
Speaker 7: election that has won and last than forty thousand volts,
13:28
Speaker 7: Any of those things can add up. And it's a
13:30
Speaker 7: very real reason why half the American public doesn't trust
13:32
Speaker 7: elections anymore.
13:33
Speaker 4: I wonder what that figure is going to be after
13:36
Speaker 4: this year's pole. I have a feeling if Trump does
13:40
Speaker 4: not prevail, that Vic goold Skyrocket, even Koshergator.
13:45
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for your time pleasure.
13:47
Speaker 4: Joining me now is entertainment and rayal reporter Kinsey Scofield. Kinsey,
13:52
Speaker 4: we normally have you later on the program, but there's
13:54
Speaker 4: been great demand to put you at the start. So
13:57
Speaker 4: here we are in segment one, and we're going to
14:00
Speaker 4: start with Prince Harry planning a trip to New York,
14:03
Speaker 4: coincidentally at the same time his brother, Prince William will
14:06
Speaker 4: be in town. Some royal fans are very excited, hoping
14:10
Speaker 4: for a reunion, but a close friend of Prince William
14:13
Speaker 4: told The Daily Beast, I suspect that William will see
14:17
Speaker 4: Harry one more time in his life in the flesh
14:20
Speaker 4: at their father's funeral. Things are totally frozen between the
14:25
Speaker 4: two of them. It is hard to overstate how utterly
14:29
Speaker 4: William feels betrayed and hurt on a very personal level.
14:34
Speaker 3: Is it really that Grimkinsy? I believe so.
14:38
Speaker 9: I think hell will freeze over before Prince William voluntarily
14:42
Speaker 9: sits down with Prince Harry again. And don't forget reader,
14:45
Speaker 9: the last time Prince Harry was in New York there
14:47
Speaker 9: was a near catastrophic co chief, So it's interesting to
14:51
Speaker 9: me that it was eager to get back at the
14:53
Speaker 9: same time that his brother, Prince William is there to
14:57
Speaker 9: celebrate the Earth Shots Prize Innovation Summit on September twenty fourth.
15:03
Speaker 9: To me, it's just Prince Harry, Classic Harry and Meghan
15:05
Speaker 9: trying to steal Prince William's thunder and disrupt Prince William
15:10
Speaker 9: in a position where he's going to be with international leadership,
15:14
Speaker 9: and it gives him an opportunity to really glow.
15:21
Speaker 10: Now.
15:21
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, we've got the Duchess of Sussex gushing to The
15:24
Speaker 4: New York Times that she is a dolphin and not
15:28
Speaker 4: a shark.
15:28
Speaker 3: When it comes to investing and in business in general.
15:32
Speaker 3: I don't even know what.
15:33
Speaker 4: That means precisely, but can we point to some examples
15:37
Speaker 4: of her strategy in action. When we had the Spotify thing,
15:41
Speaker 4: we have the lifestyle brand that seemed to consist of
15:44
Speaker 4: Strawberry jam and her.
15:47
Speaker 3: Foundation arch Weld. I don't know what they're doing these days.
15:51
Speaker 11: What precisely is she talking about Mekinsey, Well, I think
15:55
Speaker 11: she's inadvertently telling us her strategy and while she's trying
15:58
Speaker 11: to sound like a martyr, she's going to help out
16:00
Speaker 11: all of these small business women owned businesses.
16:03
Speaker 9: What she's saying, I believe is that she's going to
16:06
Speaker 9: invest in some.
16:07
Speaker 3: Of these businesses.
16:09
Speaker 9: Then she's going to wear the clothes and get all
16:11
Speaker 9: of that great pr for those businesses, and you're going
16:15
Speaker 9: to be able to buy those outfits and products on
16:18
Speaker 9: American reviewer orchard dot com. So not only is she
16:21
Speaker 9: raking in the bank because she's investing in this company,
16:24
Speaker 9: but now she can make money two or three different
16:26
Speaker 9: ways through affiliate links or through commission at point of sale.
16:31
Speaker 9: And it's so funny to me that she's trying to
16:32
Speaker 9: sound like she's doing the world a favor, she's an
16:36
Speaker 9: this deeper meaning in her influencing, when the reality is
16:39
Speaker 9: she's just triple dippin'. I mean, she's all you are
16:43
Speaker 9: is a hyper influencer.
16:47
Speaker 4: Well, she's essentially an Instagram influencer. That's what some of
16:51
Speaker 4: them do, where they collaborate with a brand, they wear
16:54
Speaker 4: the brand they promoted on their socials and they get
16:58
Speaker 4: a cut of the sales. So if it's that's the
17:02
Speaker 4: business plan, then good luck to her.
17:05
Speaker 3: But really, again, she's relying on the media.
17:07
Speaker 4: Coverage to generate any sort of hype about these products,
17:11
Speaker 4: the media that her and Harry say they absolutely hate.
17:15
Speaker 4: They hate the intrusion, but it seems to be their
17:18
Speaker 4: only job. Do we have any updates on the website?
17:22
Speaker 4: Because there was a great deal of talk about her
17:24
Speaker 4: lifestyle brand it was going to take on Gwyneth Paltrow's brand.
17:29
Speaker 3: What's it up to these days?
17:31
Speaker 9: I believe we're going to see that launch between Christmas
17:34
Speaker 9: and spring of twenty twenty five. She's going to launch
17:37
Speaker 9: it before she's up for a renewal with Netflix because
17:40
Speaker 9: she has to prove her value, and I just don't
17:42
Speaker 9: think it's going to happen for her. I don't think
17:44
Speaker 9: that they're going to give her an extension on that contract.
17:47
Speaker 3: Now, Kinsey.
17:48
Speaker 4: We spoke earlier in the week about former Independent presidential
17:52
Speaker 4: candidate Robert F. Kennedy Junior's wife copying all sorts of
17:56
Speaker 4: abuse because she told Robert to hear Trump out, and
18:01
Speaker 4: he's ended up endorsing Donald Trump.
18:03
Speaker 3: There's been actors and Hollywood.
18:05
Speaker 4: Types laying into her, and arf Ka has come back
18:10
Speaker 4: and accused those of attacking his wife and his actress,
18:14
Speaker 4: Cheryl hines he would probably be familiar with her work
18:17
Speaker 4: if you are like comedy Arefka said, they are hypocrites
18:23
Speaker 4: and bullies.
18:25
Speaker 5: It's like many people who point fingers and accuse other
18:29
Speaker 5: people of women. That's exactly what he was.
18:33
Speaker 4: Doing there, Oh, Kinsey, Why so many in Hollywood going
18:38
Speaker 4: after Cheryl? This is a decision her husband has made.
18:42
Speaker 4: It's like they're holding her responsible for the political views
18:46
Speaker 4: of her husband.
18:48
Speaker 9: I mean, the hypocrisy of it all. How is Cheryl responsible?
18:52
Speaker 9: Why was Hillary Clinton unattacked for Bell and the Intern?
18:55
Speaker 9: Instead they tried to elect her as president when Anthony
18:58
Speaker 9: Winner was kind being Carlos danger his wife, whom she
19:02
Speaker 9: was given saint status. But when a conservative man makes
19:06
Speaker 9: a mistake or misbehaves or does something that the left
19:10
Speaker 9: doesn't like, their wife is fair game. Look at poor
19:13
Speaker 9: Malania Trump and Cheryl. I mean she's taking the heat,
19:17
Speaker 9: and I think that it says more about these people.
19:20
Speaker 9: Kennedy's entire presidential campaign was about unity and bringing the
19:24
Speaker 9: parties together and This is just heatful rhetoric.
19:29
Speaker 4: Absolutely, and as a fan of Kirby enthusiasm, I will
19:33
Speaker 4: not have Cheryl abused. No, I have no problem with
19:36
Speaker 4: people having a go at actors, but at least do
19:40
Speaker 4: it based on what they say, not that's something decision
19:43
Speaker 4: their husband or wife makes.
19:44
Speaker 3: I mean, that's just gutless.
19:46
Speaker 7: Now.
19:46
Speaker 3: Wag Brittany mahomes again.
19:48
Speaker 4: We talked about her earlier in the week because she's
19:50
Speaker 4: being attacked for liking a post supporting Trump.
19:53
Speaker 3: She's doubling down. She is not backing down.
19:55
Speaker 4: One bit, and it's interesting that her friend and fellow
19:59
Speaker 4: wagged Kylas Swift has said nothing to stop all those
20:02
Speaker 4: Swifties who are attacking Brittany for well the heinous crime
20:08
Speaker 4: of liking a pro Trump post on Instagram.
20:12
Speaker 9: Jaan, we did see her. I mean, this is the
20:14
Speaker 9: most to me, this is the most blatant move. She
20:19
Speaker 9: liked a comment on her Instagram page that said Trump
20:23
Speaker 9: Vance twenty twenty four, and then she liked another one
20:26
Speaker 9: that said glad to see you aren't backing down. We
20:29
Speaker 9: are all entitled to our own opinions and shouldn't be
20:31
Speaker 9: bullied into submission. So she I think she truly is
20:35
Speaker 9: going to continue to stand up for herself here. And
20:40
Speaker 9: I'm disappointed that Taylor isn't calling back, calling off the Swifties,
20:44
Speaker 9: but I think she's trying to stay above the fray.
20:46
Speaker 9: We didn't see her get involved in the Blake Lively
20:49
Speaker 9: drama either.
20:52
Speaker 4: Well, I think we are going to see Taylor and
20:55
Speaker 4: all the A listers, beyond Say and Jlo and over
20:59
Speaker 4: else is there coming out strongly for the Democrats.
21:02
Speaker 3: They always do.
21:03
Speaker 4: I don't know what impact it has, but you can
21:06
Speaker 4: almost count on them to put out some sort of
21:09
Speaker 4: an endorsement before the November data. Now Lizzo is making
21:15
Speaker 4: news for body positivity. I mean, she has always been
21:19
Speaker 4: very proud of her well i've got to say, morbidly
21:22
Speaker 4: obeech shape, but.
21:24
Speaker 3: She's changed her tune. She is now on a weight
21:26
Speaker 3: loss journey.
21:27
Speaker 4: She's posting videos of herself working out, and she says
21:31
Speaker 4: she's moving away from this body positive positivity outlook where
21:36
Speaker 4: you don't care about what your body looks like, to
21:39
Speaker 4: a body neutrality one where the idea that you respect
21:43
Speaker 4: your body as opposed to forcing positivity on it. And
21:49
Speaker 4: she is actually copying backlash for this. Kinsey which I
21:53
Speaker 4: find amazing. You would think her fans would be thrilled
21:56
Speaker 4: that she's getting healthier, because at the weight she was,
22:00
Speaker 4: it was unhealthy for her, would have all sorts of
22:03
Speaker 4: implications to be that morbidly obese.
22:07
Speaker 9: You know, this is the old beaten sweat treater. It's
22:09
Speaker 9: like when Liam Hemsworth fell in love with Hannah Montana
22:11
Speaker 9: and then two weeks later Mailey was in a body
22:13
Speaker 9: suit to working to blurred lines with a foam finger.
22:16
Speaker 9: So I understand the fan's outreach.
22:18
Speaker 4: Here, Kensey's gofield, you always surprised me. Thank you so
22:24
Speaker 4: much for your time. This evening still to come. Lefties
22:28
Speaker 4: Losing It and Alex Stein tries to teach critical race.
22:32
Speaker 3: Theory to an infant.
22:34
Speaker 4: You don't want to miss that footage.
22:44
Speaker 3: Welcome back.
22:45
Speaker 4: Now it's time for a Lefty's losing it and we
22:48
Speaker 4: brought you vision of Hollywood. A Lista been still embarrassing
22:52
Speaker 4: himself a couple of weeks ago with his incoherent Kamala adoration,
22:57
Speaker 4: and it seems Ben is determined to embarrass himself more.
23:01
Speaker 4: Here he is asked why he likes Kamala Harris so much?
23:06
Speaker 4: What is it about a platform that gets him excited.
23:09
Speaker 3: Have a listen to.
23:10
Speaker 12: This quick question, why Kim and what do you like
23:13
Speaker 12: about Harris's platform?
23:14
Speaker 10: Just very excited about the moving forward and all the
23:18
Speaker 10: energy and excitement that's around this movement right now. So
23:22
Speaker 10: that's why I'm here, because it's time for change and it.
23:25
Speaker 1: Seems like it's happening.
23:26
Speaker 3: You think she'll be at a fifteen the momentum post convention.
23:29
Speaker 12: For sure, it's going to be close.
23:32
Speaker 10: It's going to be close, but you know, everybody's motivated.
23:35
Speaker 10: Actually the work can make it happen. So and she's
23:38
Speaker 10: and she and Time Wells were just an incredible candidates.
23:41
Speaker 4: She's an incredible candidate. And did you hear him say
23:44
Speaker 4: it's time for change?
23:46
Speaker 9: Now?
23:47
Speaker 4: No, Hollywood stars sort of exist in a parallel universe.
23:52
Speaker 4: But how divorced from reality is bid? If he's not
23:55
Speaker 4: aware that Harris is in the White House, that she's
23:59
Speaker 4: part of the Biden Harris administration, I don't know what
24:02
Speaker 4: change is seeking. Now, let's hear from the Biden Harris
24:06
Speaker 4: administration's Commons Secretary Gina Rimando.
24:10
Speaker 3: Who says she's not familiar.
24:13
Speaker 4: With the Bureau of Labor or their official statistics.
24:16
Speaker 13: When you hear that, do you potentially think that the
24:19
Speaker 13: new numbers could be a liability for this campaign?
24:21
Speaker 3: Now, when I hear that, first of all, I don't
24:23
Speaker 3: believe it because I've never heard Donald Trump say anything truth.
24:27
Speaker 2: It is though from the Bureau of Labor, don't I'm
24:29
Speaker 2: not familiar with that.
24:31
Speaker 3: Oh dear. Now, Kamala was unleashed on some poor high.
24:35
Speaker 4: School kids, and listen to how she speaks to them. Again,
24:39
Speaker 4: these kids are in high school, not kindergarten.
24:45
Speaker 2: You are leaders by the very fact that you all
24:48
Speaker 2: are here in.
24:51
Speaker 4: Doing what you do at this incredible school.
24:54
Speaker 5: Doing it as one big team, understanding.
24:58
Speaker 2: All the different parts that them together to create a team.
25:04
Speaker 3: This is a passion with the Vice president.
25:07
Speaker 4: When she speaks with kids of any age, she treats
25:10
Speaker 4: them like they're overgrown toddlers.
25:13
Speaker 3: I mean, if I talk to my son like that.
25:14
Speaker 4: In calling the men in white coats, it's not a
25:19
Speaker 4: one off.
25:19
Speaker 3: Have a look at this.
25:20
Speaker 9: You guys are going to see it. You're gonna literally
25:23
Speaker 9: see the creators on the with your own eyes.
25:28
Speaker 3: With your own eyes.
25:30
Speaker 4: Now, Harris's VP pick Tim Walls is a liar that
25:33
Speaker 4: is not in dispute. He has already lied about everything
25:36
Speaker 4: from his military record, to his family's IVF journey, to
25:40
Speaker 4: his DUI record, and even awards he didn't win from
25:45
Speaker 4: the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce. But could this be the
25:49
Speaker 4: most ridiculous lie yet? Remember that cringe video here and
25:53
Speaker 4: Kamala put together about his white guy tacos that are
25:57
Speaker 4: devoid of any flavor?
26:00
Speaker 3: Have weight, gay tacos and mayonnaise in tuna? What are
26:04
Speaker 3: you doing?
26:04
Speaker 1: Pretty much ground beef and cheese, that's okay?
26:06
Speaker 3: Do you put any flavor in it?
26:08
Speaker 5: I know, here's the deal. No, they said to be
26:11
Speaker 5: careful and let her know this that black pepper is
26:14
Speaker 5: the top of the space level in Minnesota.
26:16
Speaker 3: You know black pepper. Only he even lies about that.
26:19
Speaker 3: I mean, it's incredible because look.
26:21
Speaker 4: At this twenty sixteen article revealing that with his turkey
26:26
Speaker 4: taco tot Hot Dish, Tim Wohles grabbed first place at
26:31
Speaker 4: Senadel Frankin's sixth annual.
26:33
Speaker 3: Hot Dish Off.
26:35
Speaker 4: A Hot Dish dynasty is born, he said, after winning
26:39
Speaker 4: his third Hot Dish championship. What happened to flavorless, spiceless
26:44
Speaker 4: white guy tacos?
26:46
Speaker 3: Tim?
26:46
Speaker 4: That story is forgotten seasoned with nothing other than peppery
26:50
Speaker 4: told us.
26:50
Speaker 3: But let's have a look at what Woles's winning recipe included,
26:55
Speaker 3: not only.
26:55
Speaker 4: Chili peppers, but paprika, chili powder, onion powder, arleg Potter
27:01
Speaker 4: seems very flavorful to me. Is there anything this guy
27:06
Speaker 4: will not lie about? And talking about lies?
27:10
Speaker 3: Here is some more fake news from MSNBC.
27:13
Speaker 4: And this is really low even for them, because let
27:19
Speaker 4: me get this straight. On the third anniversary of the
27:22
Speaker 4: botched withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, Biden was on the
27:28
Speaker 4: beach on an extended holiday. We had Kamala, who had
27:33
Speaker 4: no official public engagements, doing nothing other than releasing a statement.
27:38
Speaker 4: Both Biden and Harris were not invited to Arlington National Cemetery.
27:43
Speaker 4: The gold Star families only wanted Donald Trump there, and
27:47
Speaker 4: though he attended, he is being attacked for that because
27:51
Speaker 4: he posed with the family members and he gave a
27:55
Speaker 4: thumbs up. I mean, this I tried to be about
27:58
Speaker 4: to listen is absolutely even by MSNBC's very low standards.
28:04
Speaker 13: But I know a lot of military veterans were very
28:06
Speaker 13: uncomfortable with the idea that Trump was there at all,
28:09
Speaker 13: and that he even at one point posed for a
28:11
Speaker 13: photograph with family members with a big smile and thumbs
28:14
Speaker 13: up on their face. Now we should note some of
28:16
Speaker 13: the family members were doing the same, but that's their right.
28:19
Speaker 13: Donald Trump seemingly very strange that he would do the same,
28:23
Speaker 13: and yet and some of these veterans were sort of
28:25
Speaker 13: just a gas that even in any way, shape or form,
28:28
Speaker 13: our Onto National Cemetery, arguably the most sacred place in
28:31
Speaker 13: our country, was being used as a backdrop for a
28:35
Speaker 13: political purpose.
28:38
Speaker 14: Jonathan, I looked at the same pictures that you're alluding
28:41
Speaker 14: to now and describing at Arlington taken with the prest
28:46
Speaker 14: form of president, and the thought rolled immediately through my mind.
28:51
Speaker 3: Is nothing sacred.
28:53
Speaker 4: It's been said before, and I'm sure I'll be saying
28:56
Speaker 4: it again. You don't loathe the leftist media enough? Now,
29:00
Speaker 4: this comic knew just how to handle a lefty snowflake
29:04
Speaker 4: in the audience.
29:05
Speaker 3: Take it away, Ben Bankers.
29:07
Speaker 12: You don't like Trump? Yeah? What do you not like
29:11
Speaker 12: about it? I'm just curious? Yeah, what about the husband?
29:15
Speaker 12: Are you allowed to have an opinion in the house?
29:21
Speaker 15: What do you do?
29:22
Speaker 6: Man?
29:26
Speaker 12: Yeah, that does sound like a guy who a data
29:29
Speaker 12: girl that hates Trump. I was on the street homeless,
29:33
Speaker 12: and then I found this translator and I get. I mean,
29:40
Speaker 12: I'm being like, that's why they're all here. You guys
29:47
Speaker 12: are just dumb liberals and bouy tickets.
29:49
Speaker 2: In the wrong.
29:52
Speaker 4: And likewise, Hollywood actor and comedian Rob Schneider also.
29:56
Speaker 3: Put an angry lefty losing it in his place.
30:00
Speaker 5: That's okay. You know what the cool thing about in
30:02
Speaker 5: America is free speech. Isn't the speech you like, nice
30:06
Speaker 5: Stuff's now what needs to be protected. It's the stuff
30:09
Speaker 5: that you hate. It needs to protection so that somebody,
30:12
Speaker 5: like the government or you, doesn't get to decide what
30:14
Speaker 5: everybody else gets here. And you're more than welcome to
30:22
Speaker 5: disagree and write an act and get on stage and
30:26
Speaker 5: sell out like I.
30:26
Speaker 9: Just did.
30:30
Speaker 4: That, and let's end left He is losing it with
30:35
Speaker 4: some vintage work from gg Hadi. These days, she's busy
30:40
Speaker 4: posting ugly lies about the only Jewish state Israel, but
30:45
Speaker 4: a few years ago she was busy mocking Milania Trump.
30:49
Speaker 4: And this performance is so humiliatingly awful that even I
30:53
Speaker 4: feel a little bit sorry for the girl.
30:55
Speaker 3: I have been working on my first impression.
30:58
Speaker 9: Oh really, really, I have to see that work on
31:00
Speaker 9: this all week?
31:00
Speaker 7: Okj okay, Okay, Milania Trump impression.
31:06
Speaker 5: Ok I gotta the face straight.
31:08
Speaker 3: Okay.
31:12
Speaker 6: I love my.
31:13
Speaker 4: Husband President, but Uncle Obama and other children, Sacha and Malia,
31:23
Speaker 4: Oh dear, you know I've had migraines that were more
31:27
Speaker 4: entertaining and funnier than that.
31:30
Speaker 3: Yikes. Now we know the.
31:32
Speaker 4: Left wants critical race theory shoved down children's throats from
31:36
Speaker 4: kindergarten onwards to make sure they're aware of their white
31:39
Speaker 4: privilege and victim hierarchies. But how soon is too soon
31:44
Speaker 4: to teach the young uns about what awful racists they are?
31:47
Speaker 4: Well comic Alex Stein thinks it's never too Early's.
31:51
Speaker 1: At one point, your ancestors own slaves, Yes they did.
31:56
Speaker 1: I don't care what they tell you, even if you're
31:58
Speaker 1: not related to them. You being white is oppressive to
32:02
Speaker 1: a whole group of people. You are an oppressor. Do
32:06
Speaker 1: you understand that? The earlier you understand that you're an
32:08
Speaker 1: oppressor to not only black people but also Hispandic people
32:12
Speaker 1: that are here illegally.
32:14
Speaker 8: Yes, you are.
32:14
Speaker 1: You are oppressing illegals.
32:17
Speaker 4: Joining me now is a host of Prime Time with
32:20
Speaker 4: Alex Stein, Alex Steiner, explain yourself there that poor infant,
32:25
Speaker 4: which is probably traumatized.
32:29
Speaker 15: Well, that's my producer's infant, so we can put that
32:32
Speaker 15: baby through anything, you know, because Jimmy, my producer, who's
32:35
Speaker 15: so great, dedicated to this show. But honestly, you know, Rita,
32:38
Speaker 15: that is a joke that the people on the left,
32:40
Speaker 15: you know, want to do critical race theory. Excuse me,
32:43
Speaker 15: that's not a joke. But what is the most discussing
32:45
Speaker 15: thing that they want to do is they want to
32:47
Speaker 15: actually do sexual education in elementary school. So critical race
32:51
Speaker 15: theory isn't even half as bad as what these people
32:53
Speaker 15: on the left really want to do. So this is
32:55
Speaker 15: obviously satire, and you know when semi viral on Twitter
33:00
Speaker 15: because people are just laughing and marking it because this
33:03
Speaker 15: is sadly, the real truth of what's happening here in
33:07
Speaker 15: America is people are being inductrinated. Children are being inductrinated
33:10
Speaker 15: at a very young age.
33:13
Speaker 4: And you know what, I have seen videos on x
33:16
Speaker 4: on TikTok Instagram where it's not satire. Typically it's moms
33:21
Speaker 4: with a child that young talking about their child's white
33:25
Speaker 4: privilege and how their upbringing is going to be different
33:28
Speaker 4: to the downtrodden, and and yeah, you do fear about
33:32
Speaker 4: what messaging those poor kids are going to get as
33:34
Speaker 4: they grow up.
33:35
Speaker 3: And what sort of issues they're going to have.
33:37
Speaker 4: Now more frivolity. Well, I hope it's frivolity. I'm not
33:41
Speaker 4: exactly sure. This is a man I think you know
33:44
Speaker 4: or at least know of. Maybe you can tell me
33:47
Speaker 4: if this is genuine or a massive troll. Here is
33:51
Speaker 4: former Bachelorette star Josh Ster who now identifies as a
33:56
Speaker 4: woman and a woman that supports Palestine as part of
34:00
Speaker 4: the trans People for Palestine movement.
34:04
Speaker 2: Everyone, I'm outside the DNC showing my support to Palestinians.
34:11
Speaker 2: I know if I was in their country they would
34:12
Speaker 2: accept you with open arms, so I just wanted to
34:15
Speaker 2: do the same here.
34:16
Speaker 4: So tell me, is this satire or genuine lefties losing
34:22
Speaker 4: at content?
34:23
Speaker 3: What is it?
34:25
Speaker 2: Well?
34:25
Speaker 15: Left he's losing. It gets millions and millions of views.
34:28
Speaker 15: And I really think that you should have Josh on
34:30
Speaker 15: because I press Josh. I think Josh is totally trolling it.
34:33
Speaker 15: It's totally satire. But then I messaged Josh after the
34:36
Speaker 15: show trying to talk to him, trying to get him
34:38
Speaker 15: to or her or whatever you want to call him,
34:40
Speaker 15: to break character, and Josh woulden so personally, I think
34:44
Speaker 15: that he's faking it. But if he had to deal
34:45
Speaker 15: with Rita, if he had to deal with you, I
34:47
Speaker 15: think you could crack that egg and make him admit
34:50
Speaker 15: that he is trolling assault. But he's doing a good job.
34:53
Speaker 15: And this is what people need to actually do, because seriously,
34:56
Speaker 15: here in America, guys are putting on lipstack and now
34:59
Speaker 15: they're able to go use women's restroom. That's disgusting. You know,
35:02
Speaker 15: we need some rules and we need to, I guess,
35:05
Speaker 15: bring back a country that stands up for women's rights
35:07
Speaker 15: instead of men using women as a caricature.
35:12
Speaker 3: Yes, there's a lot of that happening.
35:15
Speaker 4: Now to more serious matters, with the Associated Press wanting
35:20
Speaker 4: their readers to be outraged by Donald trump suggestion that
35:24
Speaker 4: Kamala Harris was in any way involved with the chaotic
35:28
Speaker 4: Afghanistan withdraw.
35:30
Speaker 3: But it's not a suggestion, Alex. She was involved.
35:33
Speaker 4: She's part of the Biden Harris administration and frankly, Kamala
35:37
Speaker 4: Harris herself boasted about her involvement on CNN.
35:41
Speaker 9: You just made a really big decision Afghanistan.
35:44
Speaker 3: Yes, were you the last person in the room?
35:46
Speaker 7: Yes?
35:48
Speaker 3: And you feel comfortable?
35:49
Speaker 2: I do.
35:50
Speaker 4: I've seen other similar media reporting saying Vance or Trump
35:54
Speaker 4: are attempting to connect Harris to a Biden policy. They
36:01
Speaker 4: surely can't believe the American people are that stupid that
36:04
Speaker 4: they're going to forget that Kamala is part of the
36:08
Speaker 4: Harris Biden administration.
36:11
Speaker 15: Well, I hate to say this, Rita, they do think
36:13
Speaker 15: that the American people are stupid. They think we're all
36:15
Speaker 15: very stupid.
36:16
Speaker 10: I mean, all these people that.
36:17
Speaker 15: Are now supporting Kamela. They don't realize that Kimela has
36:19
Speaker 15: been in office for over three years. She could fix
36:21
Speaker 15: a lot of these problems that she's saying that she's
36:23
Speaker 15: going to fix when she becomes president. So when you
36:25
Speaker 15: look at the withdrawal from Afghanistan, it's basically just us
36:29
Speaker 15: admitting defeat when we leave a billion dollars worth of
36:31
Speaker 15: military equipment, guns, ammunition that they're able to sell to
36:35
Speaker 15: other foreign countries that could, you know, potentially be used
36:38
Speaker 15: against US in future wars. To me, that symbolizes a loss.
36:42
Speaker 15: And you know, Kimala Harris's footprints or fingerprints were all
36:46
Speaker 15: over it.
36:48
Speaker 4: Now, what do you make of this criticism that Donald
36:51
Speaker 4: Trump has received again from segments of the media for
36:55
Speaker 4: being the only one who was actually there who was
36:57
Speaker 4: invited by the gold Star Families to be at Arlington
37:01
Speaker 4: National Cemetery to mark that third anniversary. Biden was at
37:05
Speaker 4: the beach. Harris just released a statement. She wasn't invited.
37:10
Speaker 4: They didn't want her there, They didn't want Biden there.
37:12
Speaker 4: The gold Star Families wanted Trump there, and yet now
37:16
Speaker 4: he's being absolutely slammed for posing with photos with some
37:23
Speaker 4: of the family members.
37:26
Speaker 15: Yeah, they're getting mad that Trump gave a thumbs up
37:29
Speaker 15: and that's his signature move, and they're trying to say
37:31
Speaker 15: that that's somehow disrespectful. Yet he was the only president there.
37:35
Speaker 15: So that's how crazy these people are. They're grasping at
37:37
Speaker 15: straws to try to demonize Donald Trump anyway possible, and
37:42
Speaker 15: anybody that has half a brain realizes that that is
37:44
Speaker 15: all just bias and political garbage and nonsense.
37:50
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
37:51
Speaker 4: Now, Kamala Harris will finally sit down for an interview,
37:55
Speaker 4: well sort of.
37:55
Speaker 3: It's going to be with CNN.
37:58
Speaker 4: A very friendly interviewer. It's going to be pre recorded,
38:03
Speaker 4: which is my biggest issue with it.
38:04
Speaker 3: I wanted to be live.
38:07
Speaker 4: Also, Tim Walls is going to be there by her side.
38:10
Speaker 4: I mean, this isn't exactly displaying strength and confidence, is it.
38:15
Speaker 4: I mean, surely with a very friendly pro Democrat journalist
38:20
Speaker 4: on CNN, she could at least STI alive into mew.
38:25
Speaker 15: Well, we definitely deserve a live interview because if you
38:27
Speaker 15: look at the DNC, I'll be honest, when she read
38:30
Speaker 15: her speech, she did a pretty good job. But anybody
38:33
Speaker 15: that has any public speaking skills can usually read a speech.
38:36
Speaker 15: It's much harder to try to improvise what you want
38:38
Speaker 15: to say, and Kamala Harris has no ability to improvise whatsoever.
38:42
Speaker 9: Now.
38:42
Speaker 4: Earlier in the program and all week, really we've been
38:45
Speaker 4: talking about Mark Zuckerberg, the boss of Facebook and Instagram,
38:50
Speaker 4: finally admitting the extent of how the Biden Harris administration
38:55
Speaker 4: and the FBI censored posts online everything from jokes to
39:00
Speaker 4: very much factual information about the Biden family's dodgy business
39:04
Speaker 4: dealings and what was revealed in Hunter Biden's laptop. Is
39:09
Speaker 4: this example of the deep state trying to influence Well,
39:15
Speaker 4: that's definitely an example of the deep state.
39:17
Speaker 3: I won't even ask you about that.
39:19
Speaker 4: I'm more interested in your take on why Zuckerberg is
39:23
Speaker 4: doing this and why now? Why is he coming clean
39:27
Speaker 4: with this informationation.
39:29
Speaker 15: When it comes to social media companies, I like to
39:32
Speaker 15: call them a technocracy because they own, you know, all
39:35
Speaker 15: the digital distribution of whatever narrative they want to put
39:38
Speaker 15: out there. They have full control. And Mark Zuckerberg, I
39:41
Speaker 15: feel like he is becoming more conservative. When he saw
39:43
Speaker 15: Donald Trump raise his fist after being shot that, he
39:46
Speaker 15: said that that moved him personally and emotionally, So maybe
39:49
Speaker 15: he's having a change of heart. But sadly, on Instagram
39:52
Speaker 15: and on Facebook, people are still getting censored today, so
39:55
Speaker 15: I don't see much of a change.
39:57
Speaker 2: You know.
39:57
Speaker 15: It's like all these leftist politicians. They talk about game,
40:00
Speaker 15: but they talk the talk, but they don't walk the walk.
40:03
Speaker 15: And I hope Mark Zuckerberg will actually, you know, apologize
40:06
Speaker 15: and say listen, I should not have kicked Donald Trump,
40:09
Speaker 15: a president, off of our social media platform.
40:11
Speaker 2: That was wrong.
40:12
Speaker 3: But Alex saying that, Alex, what Alex?
40:16
Speaker 11: You?
40:16
Speaker 3: You well?
40:19
Speaker 4: Josh Hammer said pretty much the same thing on Monday,
40:22
Speaker 4: and I think Zuckerberg has fooled him and you and
40:26
Speaker 4: many others. I think this is just purely self interest,
40:30
Speaker 4: self preservation. He knows if there's a second Trump term,
40:33
Speaker 4: they're going to come for big tech. Vance has got
40:37
Speaker 4: a big project in this area. He wants to break
40:40
Speaker 4: up some of those virtual monopolies and actually have some
40:43
Speaker 4: accountability for the sector. And I think he's just trying
40:45
Speaker 4: to save his skin because.
40:47
Speaker 3: He was complicit in this.
40:48
Speaker 4: The man donated four hundred million dollars of his own
40:51
Speaker 4: money in twenty twenty two fortify the election. So Alex, we.
40:57
Speaker 3: Will disagree on that one, but always a pleasure.
41:00
Speaker 10: You are right.
41:01
Speaker 15: I can't debate you on that. You are one hundred
41:03
Speaker 15: percent correct. I just want to hope and pray that
41:06
Speaker 15: Mark Zuckerberg is getting red pilled and becoming more conservative.
41:10
Speaker 15: But you are correct.
41:13
Speaker 4: We love your work, Alex Stein. Will see you next
41:15
Speaker 4: week and still to come. A new pushback against welcome
41:19
Speaker 4: and acknowledgment of country announcements.
41:22
Speaker 3: That's coming up next Welcome back.
41:33
Speaker 4: Christian preacher David Pollow is being dragged before the Queensland
41:36
Speaker 4: Human Rights Commission for refusing to begin a speech he
41:39
Speaker 4: was giving at a religious conference without a welcome to
41:43
Speaker 4: country or acknowledgment of a country ceremony. My next guest
41:47
Speaker 4: believes this is a sign that there is a new
41:49
Speaker 4: state religion that we all must obey. Political commentator and
41:54
Speaker 4: legal academic rock Elercono joins me. Now, Rocko, what disturbed
42:01
Speaker 4: you most about this case? Are we obliged to hold
42:06
Speaker 4: welcome to country or acknowledgment of country announcements and ceremonies.
42:13
Speaker 8: Well, two things confirm concern me most about this reader. Firstly,
42:18
Speaker 8: that this would appear to be a breach of a
42:22
Speaker 8: freedom of conscience and religion, the fundamental rights that Australia
42:25
Speaker 8: is signed up to in the National Covenent of Civil
42:27
Speaker 8: and Political Rights. I mean, this was a Christian event
42:31
Speaker 8: led by a Christian preacher to talk about Christians in politics,
42:36
Speaker 8: and someone gets offended because he disagrees with what he's heard,
42:39
Speaker 8: and then the state gives him the right to all
42:41
Speaker 8: that Christian preacher before a tribunal and seek sanctions and
42:45
Speaker 8: address and binding rulings against him. That's concerning, and that
42:50
Speaker 8: at another level it shows an ignorance of the reality.
42:54
Speaker 8: If you look at the census figures, a vast majority
42:57
Speaker 8: of Australian Aboriginals are actually Christian, and indeed George my
43:03
Speaker 8: one of the Torres Strait islander elders, told the ninety
43:06
Speaker 8: eight Constitutional Convention that the arrival of the Christian mysteries
43:10
Speaker 8: there in eighteen seventy one was like the coming of
43:12
Speaker 8: the light. And since then Christianity has been a fundamental
43:16
Speaker 8: part of religion, culture and civic traditions of the Aboriginal
43:19
Speaker 8: people there in the Torres Strait. And also statistically less
43:23
Speaker 8: than two percent of Aboriginals adhere to traditional Aboriginal religious practices.
43:28
Speaker 8: So at a fundamental rights level and at a statistical
43:31
Speaker 8: ignorance of statistics level, these things are very concerning.
43:36
Speaker 4: It is, but really the percentage of Indigenous people who
43:39
Speaker 4: are Christian it should not matter in this case.
43:43
Speaker 3: I mean, why do.
43:45
Speaker 4: We have these quasi blasphemy laws where if you don't
43:49
Speaker 4: comply as someone could take you before a tribunal. And
43:52
Speaker 4: as we've said often with the Human Rights Commission, whether
43:55
Speaker 4: it's state based or the Australian Human Rights Commission, the
43:58
Speaker 4: process is the part of that is the stress, the
44:02
Speaker 4: legal cost of being dragged through that is just enormous
44:06
Speaker 4: for the ordinary person. Why do you like and them
44:10
Speaker 4: welcome to country? Acknowledgment of country to ReLit religion.
44:17
Speaker 8: Because the wording of a lot of these ceremonies talks
44:21
Speaker 8: about the aboriginal spiritual connection with the land and sovereignty
44:26
Speaker 8: over it, that this is the country that they're born
44:28
Speaker 8: from and then they return to afterwards. I mean, that's
44:31
Speaker 8: akin to animism and pagan ancestor worship. And there seems
44:37
Speaker 8: to be a compulsion, if not peer pressure on the
44:39
Speaker 8: part of schools and public corporations and government that if
44:44
Speaker 8: you don't hold these ceremonies or even acknowledgments of country,
44:49
Speaker 8: which seem to be coercions for us to respect aboriginal
44:53
Speaker 8: sovereignty over the land as a form of ideological and
44:56
Speaker 8: cultural control. If you don't do these things, then it's
44:59
Speaker 8: a form of sacrilege. I mean, you're an analogy with
45:02
Speaker 8: the quasi blasphemy laws is quite appropriate in these circumstances.
45:10
Speaker 4: Now, what are an individual's rights in this situation. I'm
45:14
Speaker 4: quite shocked that the queens aren't even Rights Commission would
45:18
Speaker 4: hear this, They wouldn't just chuck it out without even
45:21
Speaker 4: alerting the person to this complaint being made.
45:27
Speaker 8: Well, this is the thing, reader, I mean, these complaints
45:30
Speaker 8: the facility to make these complaints seems to facilitate more
45:35
Speaker 8: activists by the day. And these welcome the country and
45:39
Speaker 8: acknoledgement the country are just one part of it. I mean,
45:41
Speaker 8: think about the banning of people going to landscapes. You
45:46
Speaker 8: can't climb Here's Rock anymore, you can't go through the
45:50
Speaker 8: falls near Broom in the northwest of Western Australia anymore.
45:53
Speaker 8: You can't passage through or bush walk through the Grampian mountains.
45:58
Speaker 8: And we've had Tenure Plibasic just the day cancel a
46:00
Speaker 8: one billion dollar gold mine because someone in the weird
46:03
Speaker 8: a jury people says it's culturally significant to them. This
46:08
Speaker 8: is not just about welcome to country at school assemblies.
46:12
Speaker 8: This is going much much deeper, and as you say,
46:15
Speaker 8: people's rights to be able to turn up to these
46:20
Speaker 8: things and not have anything of this significance ram down
46:24
Speaker 8: their throats is being taken away from them.
46:28
Speaker 4: And I know there's been also a discussion about what
46:32
Speaker 4: is heard, whether it's a quantus plane landing or the
46:36
Speaker 4: start of a meeting or a school assembly. Like you said,
46:39
Speaker 4: these phrases that are just repeated, what's the meaning behind them?
46:44
Speaker 3: Is there any depth or substance.
46:46
Speaker 4: For example, I like to begin by acknowledging the traditional
46:49
Speaker 4: owners of the land on which we meet today. I've
46:53
Speaker 4: asked several people who are in favor of rush uttering
46:57
Speaker 4: this line.
46:59
Speaker 3: Who are the traditional owners? Are you talking about the
47:01
Speaker 3: people who were there.
47:02
Speaker 4: When white men arrived and settled in Australia or are
47:06
Speaker 4: you talking about the original in happened inhabitants, because that
47:09
Speaker 4: could be two different things. These tribes moved around and
47:13
Speaker 4: even the next line.
47:15
Speaker 3: That's typically uttered.
47:17
Speaker 4: I would also like to pay my respects to elders, past,
47:20
Speaker 4: present and emerging.
47:23
Speaker 3: Again.
47:24
Speaker 4: Why am I supposed to be paying respects to say
47:30
Speaker 4: someone like a Lydia Thorpe, she's an emerging leader in
47:34
Speaker 4: the community. I mean, I'd rather not, but it's I
47:38
Speaker 4: think this is going to be something that there needs
47:41
Speaker 4: to be a reckoning. There needs to be a very
47:44
Speaker 4: honest discussion where all Australians feel entitled to participate. And
47:48
Speaker 4: I think after the Voice referendum, this is the least
47:52
Speaker 4: that can happened. Rocko, thank you so much for your time,
47:55
Speaker 4: always appreciated. Thanks reader, and that's it from me. I'll
48:00
Speaker 4: see you tomorrow night at nine point thirty four Lefties
48:04
Speaker 4: losing it.
48:05
Speaker 3: Good Night for an now,
