  Speaker 1: Lately.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Welcome to the length Plase.
• 0:06
  Speaker 3: Great to have your company. I'm James Macpherson with Liz
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Storer and Caleb Bond. Coming up tonight. A woman fights
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: off a tiger snake as she drives down a Melbourne freeway.
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: Will show you what she was dealing with a little later.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Plus when we look at the papers, the family Court
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: grants a teenager access to sex cross hormones or cross
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: sex hormones rather, despite the father's objection, and the Australian
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Newspaper's got an interesting story about the problems tenure Plibisek
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: the Environment Minister is causing Anthony Albanezi as if he
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: needs any more. But first, last week New South Wales
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: residents were advised not to use appliances lest the state
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: ran out of electricity.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: Well, this week it was.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: South Australia's turn, with their Energy minister telling people that
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: the state risked blackout unless they bought two diesel powered
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: generators which had been mothballed in j because we're going
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: renewables out of storage and got them operational again. South
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Australia relies a lot on renewables and needs New South
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Wales and Victoria to provide power in the event that
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: South Australia's renewables don't you renew And so the Energy
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Minister said, we have to make sure when we need
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: the power, the power is there, because if it's not
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: across the national energy market, I can guarantee the premiers
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: of New South Wales and Victoria aren't going to be
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: saying let's load share here to provide South Australia with power.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: But it gets even worse than that. Today the Energy
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Market Operator has demanded the power to shut down SOLA
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: across the entire country on days when an oversupply of
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: solar threatens to destabilize the grid. The Australian Energy Market
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Operator said the ever growing output from SOLA was posing
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: an increasing threat to the safety and security of the
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: grid because it was pushing out all other forms of
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: generation that were needed to help keep the system stable.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: So what we've got across the country is now absolute madness.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: We used to have a first world power grid, but
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: we're dismantling that and replacing it with a third world
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: power grid. And even if we're successful Calebin Liz to
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: get net zero, I mean it will make absolutely zero
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: difference to global temperatures to rising sea levels and the
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: amount of snow that falls on Cosiosco. All we're doing
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: is guaranteeing high electricity prices. We're guaranteeing business will flee
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: this country and for what for absolutely no net benefit.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: As I wrote in my advertiser column on Friday, I
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: hate to say I told you so, because of course
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: this does mean that there are people out there who
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: are making decisions about whether or not they buy their
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: children Christmas presents this year, or they pay their power bills.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: But I told you so. I mean what we have
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: here is an energy system that has been rushed, is
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: not built for the grid that we have. I mean
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: a in South Australia, as you said, they want to
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: bring the Port Lincoln and Snuggery diesel powered generators back online,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: which Energy took offline in June or July because they
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: said they weren't financially viable anymore because of renewable energy.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Well PO cares what's financially viable, what's viable in terms
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: of keeping the lights on for heaven's sake, But of
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: course that's not the fault of the energy companies. They
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: only want to turn a buck and that's what their
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: shareholders want them to do. So they're just simply operating
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: in the market that these governments have created for them.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: And then the governments come along and say, oh, hang
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: on a minute, we've got a small problem here. And
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: how absurd that we would now be told that we
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: have to turn off your solar panels, which we encourage
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: you to put on your roof so that we could
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: have a renewable future because getting too much. We've literally
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: got too much renewable energy in this country and it's
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: going to fry the grid. Like is that just not
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: the height of insanity? And of course he knew South Wales.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Earlier this year, Osgrid announced that they would introduce a
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: surcharge for you to feed your solar power back into
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: the grid for exactly this reason. Lots of power solar
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: power gets feed into the grid off of people's rooftops
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: in the middle of the day when they're all at work,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: and that energy is not being used, and they much
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: rather they fed it in in the evening when everyone's
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: at home. Well, the sun doesn't shine in the evening,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: does it. So they're actually going to make you pay
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: to put your power back into the grid. Because you
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: were encouraged by successive governments to do so, because it'll
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: fry the network. I mean, if anything proves that we
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: have gone too fast on this, that is it.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: The government even subsidized solar panels, that's how hard they
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: pushed it. Everyone with solar panels out there, you must
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: be so angry. I know that I would be absolutely fuming.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: You did the right thing. You forked out for your
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: solar panels from China. China's very grateful for your donation,
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: and now we're being slapped on the risks, made to pay,
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: basically penalized for doing the exact thing that the government
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: wouldn't shut up about encouraging.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: You to do for years and years on end. I
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: bet your South.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: Australia is really sorry that they shut down their last
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: call fired power station in twenty sixteen, because they don't
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: even have that to fall back on, like we do
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: in some of the eastern states, where again we've got
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: the government saying all actually call fire power stations, can
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: you stay open for a bit longer because our whole
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: green dream is proving less feasible by the day and
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: we need you guys online otherwise we too will have rolling.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Blackouts like we're in India.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: I have traveled extensively throughout Asia, where rolling blackouts are
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: just a thing. You never know any any given day,
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: anytime where they're actually going to have any electricity is
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: a bit fun because it just adds to I'm in
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: a foreign country.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: How exciting here in Australia not fun.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: You want certainty when you flick on a light switch
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: or try to turn on your air con on a
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: steaming hot day.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: This isn't sustainable.
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: But how many energy energy suppliers have we had say
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: this in the past couple of years. They are the
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: ones who have been screaming at the government saying yes,
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: like you say, Caleb, we're.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Operating in the market that you've created.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: But this is going to mean less power, which is
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: mean going to mean higher prices and potentially no power
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: on occasion.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Funny what you're saying about traveling through Asia.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: I remember being nineteen years old in the Philippines and
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: they would have daily brownouts, they called them.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: I remember thinking, man, what sort of a country is?
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: It was kind of exciting, but you just don't want
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: that excitement in Australia, especially not in summer.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: God forbid.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: What'll be interesting though, is a lot of people bought
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: solar panels what nine ten years ago when the government
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: was offering extraordinary subsidies. As those solar panels start to
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: fail and need replacing and have now of course those
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: subsidies aren't quite so generous, will people be motivated to
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: fork out the money and replace them? And let alone
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: question where those old solar panels end up, because that's
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: going to be a massive problem. There's four million solar
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: panels on roofs around Australia at some point in the
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: near future, a lot of them are going to have
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: to be replaced with little to no government subsidies.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: And where we're going to dump them.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Well, I chuckled a little bit to myself before when
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: you mentioned the word sustainable, Liz, because of course we
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: are told that this is sustainable energy, but it was terribly,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: so terribly sustainable that in order to make the whole
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: thing where we've got to fire up the diesel to
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: keep Queen and green diesel here we come. But of
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: course that the problem you described there, James, is a
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: massive one, because there is theoretically no reason that rooftop
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: solar should not be able to power much of the country,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: but you need to be able to store that energy
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: when it's being generated, and of course the cost of
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: storing that energy right now is enormous. If you're a
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: household to put a battery on the side of your
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: house costs a lot of money. To do it at
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: a large level, costs a lot of money. Because it
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: was the first thing South Australia did after they had
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: that big power outage in twenty sixteen or twenty seventeen,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: was it. They got Elon must to go and build
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: a big battery down there. But that can only power
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: the state for about twenty minutes or something. But in
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: order to make it work you need that storage. But
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: it costs too much, which once again just proves the
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: point that we've gone too fast with renewable energy. There's
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: no reason that at some point in the future renewable
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: energy could actually be an economically viable form of energy,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: but we just haven't reached that point yet and our
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: grid isn't built for it. I mean, for goodness sake,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: remember what was it nine years ago beyond Lomborg tried
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: to set up shop at the University of Western Australia,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: a man who simply says, renewable energy is a good thing,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: we should move to it in a way that he's
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: economically advantageous for people, you know, the consumers. And he
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: was drummed out of wa for saying that if only
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: we'd listened to him at the time, perhaps we'd be
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: in a different position. Let's go to the US now.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Of course, Joe Biden is in the dying days of
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: his presidency. He's got less than two months to go
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: in the job, so he's tying up a few odds
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: and ends, and this question keeps coming up about his son, Hunter,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: the crackhead Hunter Biden about oh, you know, he was
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: convicted earlier in the year. Of course, back in June,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: he was done for buying guns while he was a
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: drug addict. He had declared on the papers that he
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: was not a drug addict at the time, so there
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: were three felonies. Then in September he pleaded guilty to
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: not paying at least one point four million dollars in taxes.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: And many times Joe has been using going to pardon
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: your son? Are you going to pardon your son? Look,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: he's considering it, there's no doubt about that. But at
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: least we know that Joe Biden thinks that no one,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: not even his is above the law.
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: I'm calling for a constance of amendment call no one
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: is above the law Amendment. Each each of us is
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: equal before the law. No one, no one is above
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: the law. The American principle that no one is above
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: the law was reaffirmed. So justice should to respect him
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: and we should never allow anyone to tear it down.
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: Who was responsible can be held accountable and my administration,
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: no one, no one is above the law.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: And don't fear He has been personally asked this question
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: multiple times. Will you pardon your own son? No way.
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: Your son Hunter is on trial, and I know that
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: you cannot speak about an ongoing federal prosecution, but let
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: me ask you. Will you accept the jury's outcome, their verdict,
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: no matter what it is.
• 10:55
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: And have you ruled out a pardon for your son?
• 10:59
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: In regard to the question regarding the family, I'm extremely
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: proud of my son Hunter. He has overcome an addiction.
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: He is He's one of the brightest, most decent men
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: I know, and I am satisfied that I'm not going
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: to do anything I said. I advide by the jury decision.
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: I will do that and I will not partner him.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: And of course he's pro Secretary. Karin John Pierre has
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: also been asked multiple times and she has always said,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: there is no way this will happen one with a
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: president partner or commute his son if he's convicted.
• 11:35
  Speaker 9: So I've answered this question before.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: It was asked of me not too long ago, a
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, and I was very clear and
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I said no.
• 11:40
  Speaker 10: I know you said, not a lot of changes yesterday,
• 11:43
  Speaker 10: and it's a personal matter, but from a presidential perspective,
• 11:46
  Speaker 10: is there any possibility that the president would end up
• 11:49
  Speaker 10: pardoning his son. I want to make sure that that
• 11:52
  Speaker 10: is not going to change over the next six months.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: The President's say it's still a no, it's still an egle.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Always email it's still a no.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: It will be I know it is a no, and
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I don't have anything else to add.
• 12:03
  Speaker 9: Peo will he pardoned his son?
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: No?
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: And the Democrat fanboys have always said there is no
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: way this could happen. I mean, take Andrew Wiseman, for example,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: a lawyer in the US. You seed, mister Biden is
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: leaving the rule of law.
• 12:19
  Speaker 10: What is before us is a president who is living
• 12:25
  Speaker 10: the rule of law. He is living in the rights
• 12:29
  Speaker 10: in the most personal way. He is not pardoning his son,
• 12:35
  Speaker 10: which he could do. These are federal charges. He is
• 12:37
  Speaker 10: not doing that. He is not doing it because he
• 12:39
  Speaker 10: is living what it means to have a rule of
• 12:43
  Speaker 10: law in this country. I'm not saying that you should
• 12:46
  Speaker 10: get credit for it, because it is the right that
• 12:49
  Speaker 10: Trump has been said exactly.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: So imagine my shock when I woke up this morning
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: and Joe Biden had pardoned his son Hunter. Yes, after
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: all those time saying it would never ever happen, that
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: is exactly what he did on his way out of
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: the Oval office. Now you will remember all the law
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: fair cases that were run against Donald Trump. They are
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: now effectively dead because he will be the forty seventh
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: president of the United States. But you know, we were
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: told there's nothing to see here, there's no problem. But
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: we were saying, actually, no, no, what's happened here is
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: that the law has been weaponized against a political candidate. Now,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: remember Biden said, no one is above the law. The
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Democrats continually said, look, if Trump has broken the law,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: he should face the consequences. Well, what does Biden now
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: say about his son. He says that this case was
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: infected by raw politics and it led to a miscarriage
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: of justice. And if it weren't for the fact that
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Hunter Biden was Joe Biden's son, that they would never
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: have gone after him. So of course he hands down
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: the pardon, and the pardon, by the way, just apply
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: to the gun offenses, and it doesn't just apply to
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: the tax offenses. He's just put a blanket pardon over
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: everything that Hunter may or may not have done between
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: January and December twenty fourteen, things that haven't even been
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: brought yet. Necessarily, it is an extraordinary move, which of
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: course he lied through his teeth about. But you know,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: I suppose can you blame the bloke. He's on his
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: way out. He has those powers, which is an extraordinary
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: thing in the first place, and he's just decided to
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: go and do it. He clearly doesn't give a toss anymore.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Why would he care after he's been deposed by Carmala
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: and co. He's just doing whatever he can on the
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: way out to get his and say up yours.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Well, he's not just on the way out of the
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Oval office. He did this, and then he was straight
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: on a plane and on his way out of the
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: United States to Angola, so no journalists could point out
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: his hypocrisy. But I mean, this is just more evidence
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: that everything the Democrats accuse their opponents of doing is
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: exactly what they themselves are or are about to. It
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: was Trump who was meant to be the threat to
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: the rule of law. It was Trump who was going
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: to pardon himself, who was going to put himself above
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: the law. That's exactly what the Democrats have done. So
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: this should keep the Democrats out of office for years,
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: if not decades. If anyone was in any doubt about
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: the corruption of Joe Biden or the Dems generally, this
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: should remove it beyond any doubt. I kind of wonder
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: if Joe Biden thought Kamala Harris will win the election
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: and she will pardon my son, and so he was
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: able to say.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: No, I'm not going to pardon him. I'm not going
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: to pardon.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Him, secure in the knowledge he thought that Kamala Harris
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: would do it for him. And then, of course, when
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: the election result came back, he had a quick change
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: of mind. What I love, though, Liz, was he's talking
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: about his son, and he says, my son, he's been
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: five and a.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: Half years sober. I'm so proud of him.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: And I'm thinking, you know, I would be too if
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: it was my sixteen year old who'd been five years sober.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: And I realized, no, he's fifty four years old. He's
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: like a grown ass man.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, okay, he's been sober since he was what
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: forty nine? Good job, But I mean Joe Biden's holding
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: his hand like he's a child.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and define sober because we all know about the
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: crack cocaine that was found in the White House on
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: July the fourth, not so long ago, and it was
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: a weekend that Hunter was visiting. But pay attention to
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: this blanket. Pardon okay, because it's not just relating to
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: the gun chargers, the tax fraud chargers, which he is
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: due for sentencing for.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: No.
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: No, this is from January twenty fourteen to twenty twenty
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: four Why that amount of time and why that year,
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: because of course, the twenty and fourteen year was very,
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: very significant. This was the year of the Cia coup
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: in Ukraine, the year that Hunter was then put on
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: a board of Burisma, an energy company in Ukraine, despite
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: his complete lack of any discernible skills, much less any
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: knowledge relating to gas, to energy, or to Ukraine itself.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: This was also while.
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: His father, Joe Biden, was not only Vice President of
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: the United States but in charge of relations in Ukraine.
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: So rather dodgy, and we all know it's on the
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: public record. It was recorded very well by.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: The media years and years ago.
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: Now that Hunter then used his connections with Barisma to
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: hook them up with Biolab in Ukraine and get tens
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: of millions of dollars from the US government to fund
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: that biolab, which had been commissioned by Obama back in
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: twenty ten.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Now this sounds like.
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: A big, long story, doesn't it. But my point to
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: this story is Joe Biden is not pardoning his son.
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: He's running cover for his own actions that he himself. Yes,
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: Hunter was very much involved, he was the bag boy
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: for his father, but he knows that by giving this
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: blanket pardon to his son over a very significant period
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: of time, he's getting himself off the hook. He's not
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: running cover for Hunter. He is running cover for himself
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: because he knows that a DOJ under the Trump administration
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: is going to start ripping shreds off this cover that
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: they've all been implicated in for many, many years. That
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: is what this pardon is really about. It's not letting
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: Hunter off the hook. And everyone's like, oh, how dare he?
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: It is an abusive power one hundred percent. But here
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: is a man who knows by pardoning my son, I'm
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: covering my own backside because once Trump gets in, the
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: corruption in my family is going to be laid there,
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: and he's running for the hills.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: And of course, over on MSNBC, they're now setting all
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: of this up because it will eventually come as though
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: it is law fare that they themselves ran against Trump.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: And of course when it's done against Trump, it's all okay.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: They are literally saying over on AMSNBC, mister Biden, he
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: should pardon himself before he leaves the Oval office. All
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: the stuff that they said that Trump would do and
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: was a threat to democracy, they are now saying he
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: should do. Take a look.
• 19:31
  Speaker 9: I hope that President Biden will also issue preemptive pardons
• 19:36
  Speaker 9: to all of those people threatened by the unjustice of
• 19:40
  Speaker 9: what will become the Department of Justice in the Trump administration.
• 19:44
  Speaker 9: That of course includes Jack Smith and all of his staff,
• 19:48
  Speaker 9: many Department of Justice lawyers. It includes President Biden himself.
• 19:52
  Speaker 9: Although we don't know that anyone can legally pardon themselves.
• 19:56
  Speaker 9: He will need a pardon because he is going to
• 19:58
  Speaker 9: be harassed and charge from no crimes whatsoever. Donald Trump
• 20:03
  Speaker 9: has pharmised that.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, they have no sense of irony. These people. Oh,
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: we must stand up against corruption, and then it's our guy,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: who's crap.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: It's bad.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: That's law for you could possibly give them all.
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: Preemptive pardons so that no one, no one has to
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: face time for their crime.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: Crazy makes no sense. A preemptive pardon.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: So we are going to pardon you for crime, so
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: you did not commit, no in the eventuality that you
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: are convicted for these crimes which you have not committed.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Which is the other thing I don't understand where you
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: pointed out that Hunter Biden has been pardoned for not
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: just the tax evasion and the gun issue. Yes, but
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: he's been pardoned for anything that he might have done.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: That he's done anything that we don't know of.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: This is an outright admission from his own father.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, things were done.
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: Otherwise you just say, yeah, I'm pardoning that that court
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: case earlier this year where I feel like he was
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: treated unfairly in the gun charges. In no, no, he's
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: backdated it to twenty fourteen.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: He knows if you're going to pardon someone, don't you
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: have to pardon them specifically for something.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: How do you pardon something?
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: It's a blanket.
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: We don't know what it is.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: But if we find something pardoned, I mean speaking.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: There just goes to show how blankety it can be.
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: This is a preemptive parton not that you've done anything wrong,
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: but just in case someone tries to prosecute you for
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: something you might have done, potentially your pardoned so that
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: Trump's DOJ can't dig its teeth in.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: And rip it out from the roots.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: Well, these guys need to keep running because it guess
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: who Trump's just appointed to lead the FB I one,
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: in my opinion, one of the most corrupt agencies on
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: the face of the planet. Trump has chosen this guy
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: called Cash Fattel. Now you may have heard of Cash
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: Betel because during the first Trump administration he served as
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: the National Security Advisor and senior counsel for the House
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: Permanent Selects Committee on Intelligence. He's worked in the Defense Department.
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: He was a lawyer by trade.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: He worked in the Public Defender's Office and so on
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: and so forth. So he has vast.
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: Knowledge of these intelligence agencies and what they actually get
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: up to.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: So much so he.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: Published a book called Government Gangsters, The Deep State, The
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: Truth and the Battle for Our Democracy. I've got to
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: get my hands on this book because.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: It sounds right up my alley. Here's Cash Battel telling the.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: Sean Ryan Show some months ago, what did he do
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: if he was in a position of power on how
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: he'd make a few changes at FBI headquarters.
• 23:05
  Speaker 11: I'd shut down the FBI Hoover Building on day one
• 23:09
  Speaker 11: and reopening the next day as a museum of the
• 23:12
  Speaker 11: deep State.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: This guy gets it.
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: He is speaking my language here. He was also talking
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: to Glenn Beck just a few weeks ago on his
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: podcast saying there's a lot to be exposed here what
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: these guys have done hiding the Epstein list and plenty
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: of other details regarding plenty of other things the FBI
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: is complicit in making sure.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: The truth never finds its way out into the public.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Who has Jeffrey Epstein's.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: Black Book, Black Book FBI? But who that is?
• 23:51
  Speaker 11: I mean that's under a direct control of the director
• 23:55
  Speaker 11: of the FBI. Just like the manifesto from the Nashville
• 23:59
  Speaker 11: school shooting of the Catholic schools, we still haven't seen
• 24:02
  Speaker 11: that right. It's not the Nashville Police or PD saying
• 24:06
  Speaker 11: we don't want this out. The FBI airmailed into that
• 24:09
  Speaker 11: operation and said this is not getting out. All these
• 24:12
  Speaker 11: local law enforcement communities get funding from the DOJNFBI for
• 24:15
  Speaker 11: local programs and if you don't cooperate, you're not getting
• 24:18
  Speaker 11: your million dollars for this, and you're not getting it.
• 24:20
  Speaker 11: And that's a lot of money to these local districts.
• 24:22
  Speaker 11: That's how they play the game.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: This guy knows how it works.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: Listening to him, I am like so amped for this.
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: You've heard me recommend it before. But if you're interested,
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: get a book called Chaos by Tom O'Neil. It is
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: all about how the FBI and the CIA really work.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: It will change the way you see the world forever.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: You won't be able to put it down.
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: He was also asked by Glenn Beck about the JFK files,
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: which we know were due to be released but haven't
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: been and we're all kind of wondering why.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: This many years later, why we can't know the truth about.
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: I never believed that the CIA killed Kennedy.
• 25:07
  Speaker 11: Well, you're talking to a guy that's read the entire
• 25:09
  Speaker 11: JFK file.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: You've seen all the secret stuff.
• 25:12
  Speaker 11: I've seen all of that, and I've seen the seven
• 25:15
  Speaker 11: pages of the nine to eleven report.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: I've seen it all. You don't say that to people
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: that you can't tell what you saw.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Release it, Release the lot.
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: He talks about how much the FBI overclassifies everything, so
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: again it's.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Never made public.
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: The FBI just decides, no, no, people don't need to
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: see that.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Nothing to see here.
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: We decide what you get to see, what you get
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: to be aware of, because we are running cover for
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: deep state. That is what we do. And as we know,
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: what better example is there of the Epstein client list.
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: I mean, Gilaine Maxwell went to.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Jail, but no clients.
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: What the heck are you guys doing? Remember what Elon
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: must said was his theory as to why it still
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: wasn't going to be released and why so many people
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: were backing Kamala as much as they possibly could.
• 26:18
  Speaker 12: You know, I think part of why Kamala is getting
• 26:21
  Speaker 12: so much support is that if Trump wins. That f
• 26:25
  Speaker 12: SCENE client list is going to become public. Yes, and
• 26:29
  Speaker 12: some of those billionaires behind Kamala are terrified of that outcome.
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: Is it any wonder that deep state is running for
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: the hills. Here's cash Forttel just openly talking about those guys.
• 26:43
  Speaker 11: On day one roll out. All of the text message
• 26:46
  Speaker 11: communications we were told were deleted on day one. Play
• 26:49
  Speaker 11: the rest of the video of the pipe bommer.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: You know he needed.
• 26:52
  Speaker 11: One of the reforms I talk about government gangsters, is
• 26:54
  Speaker 11: you need a central node to be continuously declassifying. This
• 26:59
  Speaker 11: is another thing they do, the over class classifier. And
• 27:01
  Speaker 11: I'm telling you as a former number two in the IC,
• 27:04
  Speaker 11: they overclassify fifty percent of the stuff there to protect
• 27:08
  Speaker 11: the deep state.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Oh no, you can't see that. Nothing to see here,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Go get them cash for tell.
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: These guys must be absolutely terrified. They've got a few
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: more months to get their affairs in order before these
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: guys take control. We've got Tulsi Gabbard heading up the
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: intelligence agencies, the overarching We've got guys like that.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Now heading up the FBI.
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: The FBI just in recent memory, we've got the Russia
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: collusion hopes that they were totally all in on. We've
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: got the Hunter Biden laptop, which they made sure was
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: nobody ever heard about.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: And maybe that too, was just a rumor.
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: The Trump assassination where they sat around for days being like, oh,
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: we just don't know what happened, and we're really confused
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: as well, and we basically know as much as you do.
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: That sham investigation into Brett Kavanagh, Trump's pick for the
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: Supreme Court, where he was accused of rape and all
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: these terrible things. The lady eventually came out and said,
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: I've never even met him, let alone being raped by him.
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: But the damage was done. FBI also complicit. I could
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: talk for hours about this stuff and to see someone
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: like this who's so passionate about gutting it and returning
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: it to what is supposed to be the proper business
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: You mentioned all the things the FBI has not done,
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: but you neglect the things they have done, like, you know,
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: declare Catholics to be domestic terror threats. Oh yeah, and
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: go after Catholics who dared to pray outside abortion clinics.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: It's funny when you read about Trump's picks and the
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: media say they're this, they're that, and you think, well.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: Is Trump making good choices?
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: They've said about Patel that he's a danger, and so
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: you might think, well, I don't know, is he a danger?
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: I never heard of him before.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: The danger to the deep stuff.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: Can you start listening right and you realize, yeah, he's
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: a danger to the right people. He has said, on
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: top of everything else we just watched, you know, turning
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: the headquarters into a museum, that he will sack senior
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: leaders in the FBI, and he will go after agents
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: who have misused and abused their power. So no wonder
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: that there's a lot of people who do not like
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: this appointment. And of course Trump appointed the current FBI
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: director who will now have to be sacked to make
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: way for Patel. But things were very different when Trump
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: came to the White House the first time. He'd never
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: been the president before, perhaps had not estimated correctly just
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: how bad things were in the deep state. Now he's
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: going for people who he knows have got the goods,
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: that people whom he trusts personally, and people who are
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: on record has been committed to doing the very things
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: that Trump is wanting to do.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, As I've said before, this is his last
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: shot at it. But he can't run again after this,
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: so he's got the opportunity to get hell for leather.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: He doesn't have to worry about re election, and if
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: he wants to get anything done, he's only got four
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: years to get it done. So he is hitting the
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: ground running here. I mean, what a radical idea to
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: say that law enforcement agencies should actually be about enforcing
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: the law rather than having an ideological bent. And of
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: course that is scary to the people who run it
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: and the people who are advantaged by that. They will
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: say it's a threat because it is now a threat
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: to them. I mean, they've used it as a threat.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: They've used it as a threat against their ideological enemies
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: for such a long time, and suddenly the gun is
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: going to be turned on them because it will be
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: doing what it is meant to actually do. What a
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: crazy idea, and this is exactly what Trump was elected
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: to do, was to drain the swamp. Now he gave
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: it a go last time, He's certainly going to going
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: to give it a proper go this time. That is
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: what he has been charged to do. This is what
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: the American people want and you know what, so often
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: government we find things they just did the same thing
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: over and over again. The definition of stupidity is doing
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: the same thing over and over again and getting a
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: different result. And a lot of people, of course, who
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: are used to, you know, orderly usual governments, I can't
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: believe he's doing this. Well, what they were doing before
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: wasn't working, So what the hell, Let's just try something
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: else out. Who cares if it fails. Let's give something
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: else a go and see if it actually works. What
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: a crazy idea.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: One thing for sure, the next four years in the
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: United States is going to be fascinating viewing to see
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: what happens there. Let's come back to Australia, where this
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: week we've had one of the most spectacular backflips that
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: you can imagine. Australia's second largest pub chain said yesterday
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: that none of their two hundred pubs around the country
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: would be celebrating or even acknowledging.
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: Australia Day next year.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: However, after a massive backlash today, they've apologized for all
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: the confusion. They originally said that they would not be
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: even acknowledging January twenty sixth because it was a day
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: of sadness.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: And hurt for many many people.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: Clearly these guys were not around earlier this year when
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: Woolworth's did much the same and copped an absolute she lacking.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: So they quickly after the backlash changed their mind and
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: today issued at groveling apology saying it's not for us
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: to tell anyone whether or how to celebrate Australia Day.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: We acknowledge that and we apologize for our comments.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: Liz.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: The Olympic Games is not until twenty thirty two. But
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: these guys have absolutely nailed the bad wind.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: That was fast.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: But will it save their business? Clearly they are very
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: scared because the names of all the pubs right around
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: the country were published. People immediately I was watching online,
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: people were canceling events that they were having their left,
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: right and center.
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: The backlash was stern.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: They've apologized, but is the apology makeup for it or
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: are people just jack of organizations corporations doing this kind
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: of thing?
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: Your apologies lame. We don't believe it, we don't accept it.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was done. You've shown your hand. We know
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: where you stand.
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: You don't love our country, you aren't patriots. Why would
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: we want to frequent your pub on our national day.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Anyway, the damage is done period.
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: Thanks for the apology. We know you don't mean it,
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: you were just forced into it. And I love looking
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: at the shareholders in these situations because when we were
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: talking about Woolworths earlier this year, when they tried this
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: on and similarly got smacked by the Australian public.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: It Beard mentioning that two of their.
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: Top three shareholders a black Rock and Vanguard. These aren't
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: Australian owned companies, and both black Rock and Vanguard are lefties.
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: They do nothing to hide it. So it's not a
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: Woolworth's manager sitting in Australia being like, you know what,
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: we're not gonna set No, it is far further up
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: the food chain. And when we're talking about these guys
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: Australian Venue Co, the name is very deceiving because these
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: guys were bought in August of last year by pag
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: Asia Capital to approximately the tune of one point four
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: billion dollars. So that's two hundred Australian pubs not in
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: Australian hands at all, operating under.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: The name Australian Venue Co. So if anything for.
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: Me, that's another reason to boycott them. I don't want
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: to give you my money. I will find Australian owned
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: and operated pubs and I'll celebrate my National Day there,
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: thanks very much. And like you say, the list has
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: already gone viral. The damage has already been done. Everything
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: that I've seen online about this is people saying I
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: don't care, I'm still boycotting.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and of course you know, they've made an apology,
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: but they haven't actually walked back what was their original intention,
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: which was we're not going to celebrate Australia Day in
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: the pub. They've apologized for the hurt they've caused by
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: pointing that out, but they haven't actually really walked it back.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: I forget who I heard say at this afternoon on radio,
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: but if they really believed in it, they should shut
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: all of their pubs on Australia Day. Because of course
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: everyone will be going to the pub on Australia Day
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: because it's Australia Day. So if you don't want to,
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: you know, if you want to make a point about
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Australia Day, don't take the money from more than that.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: The problem with Australia Day is that that was the
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: beginning of colonization, right, so there'll be no pubs on colonization.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Then what are you doing in the country? Get out.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: It's an odd point that.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, these guys sell alcohol and they make money
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: from Pokey's, but they take their moral stance.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: On January twenty sex direct correct. Then that was exactly
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: what Paul said on the Sunday Showdown last night. Paul Murray,
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: he said, you know, I'm sure they've got Pokey's in
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: the pubs. I can hear an a bit about the
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: socially too, fighting your rip the Pokey's out first and
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: very quickly before we go to a break. While we're
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: talking about alcohol, you might have seen this story over
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: the weekend. The bureaucrats in New South Wales from lick
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: At Licensing had this crazy idea that they would go
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: around trying all the ready to drink spirits, the preme expirits.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: You know it comes in a canned bourbon and coke
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: or ram and coke or you know hard rated used
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: to be called hard solo, et cetera. They're going to
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: go around and taste all of them and then ban
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: them if they believed they were too tasty, because it
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: would encourage you to drink too much of it, or
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: that kids would take them up. I wish I was
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: joking about that, but that's the sort of stuff that
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: nanny state bureau has st end up with.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: In this I thought you were about to say, I
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: wish I could have been appointed to taste.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Oh well, if I'd been made to.
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: Taste an unofficial taste.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Nothing, nothing would be banned. But at least i'd get
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: free grond through the process. But I am glad to
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: report that at least, for once a politician has stood
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: up to the bureaucrats and said back in your box, buddy.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: The premiere of New South Wales, Christmins, today came out
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: and said, we have too much regulation as it is.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Would you just buzz off?
• 36:59
  Speaker 8: There's too much regulation, too much red tape in New
• 37:02
  Speaker 8: South Wales. It sits on business that makes it difficult
• 37:05
  Speaker 8: to make a quid and it also I think inhibits
• 37:09
  Speaker 8: adults making own decisions about their lives.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Long may freedom rain in the state of New South Wales.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, the fact that they even thought this up
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: in the first place is an outrage. And the argument
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: that they always make about or what about the kids?
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: The kids are going to take it up because it's
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: got solo in it. A kid can't walk into a
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: bottle shop and buy a drink because you have to
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: be over the age of eighteen. If the problem is
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: that it's being sold to kids, go and lock up
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: the people who are selling the drinks to kids, not
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: ban the drink. It's like saying we're going to ban
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: cigarettes because some kid is smoking them by the bike shed. Well,
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: actually they did that with vapes and look how that's
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: turned out. You don't ban the product because a kid
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: got hold of it.
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: Is this a little too convenient?
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: Like bureaucrats come out on Saturday with this outrageous plan
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: and then on Monday, Chris Min's rides in doing his
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: most impression of Great Hearts Day Freedom Man, and all of.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: A sudden he saves the day.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: Surely the premier would know about this plan to ban
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: these sorts of drinks before it's released to the public,
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: wouldn't not necessarily?
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, if this has been cooked out by some
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: bureaucrats in a back room and it gets leaked to
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: the newspaper, would youurocrat PREMI is not watching everything.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: That they work for the government.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: They should do it's all pretty I like your.
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: Way of thinking if this is how some of this
• 38:28
  Speaker 5: stuff works, and I want to make sure that clip
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: lives on in infamy because next time the men's governments
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: goes nanny state on us, we can just play that
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: on Loop.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Thanks Premium in.
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: We're going to take a break.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: When we come back, we'll look at what's making news tomorrow,
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: including a family court decision to grant cross sex hormones
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: to a teenager against the father's wishes.
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: That's coming up in this money Welcome back.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: Let's take a look at what's making news tomorrow, and surprise, surprise,
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: the Daily Telegraph has got more bad news for people
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: who'd like to, you know, use electricity.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: Kalb Indeed it does power union snubs hefty pay deal
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: and hold state to ransom. It is shock and more
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: families in regional New South Wales face three day blackouts
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: if the fragile energy grid goes down. With Sparky's it
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: essential energy to walk off the job for seventy two
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: hours every week until Christmas in a major escalation of
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: bitter wage disputes worth two hundred and seventy five million dollars.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: Now I understand that you are entitled to conduct. And
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: what's the word I'm looking for, not strikes? What's the
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: losing losing the plot here tonight? Industrial action?
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Monday?
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: Heyo, I know it's Monday, but I'm going to the
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: cricket at the end of the week, and I'm just
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: thinking about the cricket anyway. Industrial action is what I'm
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: going for. I understand that you are within your rights
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: to conduct industrial action, but surely in cases like this
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: where it is an essential service. The same applies to hospitals,
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: et cetera. Surely the state government should be able to
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: intervene through the courts and have this kind of thing stopped.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: Because if you can have your connection to power put
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: at risk because some union thug says he wants a
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: seventy five percent pay rise or whatever it might be,
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: that is not on, it should not be on.
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: You know what got my attention about this story is
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: the pay rise dispute is over two hundred and seventy
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: five million dollars, which every person who reads this front
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: page tomorrow is going to think. Two hundred and seventy
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: five reminds me of something. I don't want a million notice,
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: but like two hundred and seventy five the promise. Instead
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: we're getting everyone else is getting money and the poor
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: old taxpayers are getting jack all after being promised the world.
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: Indeed, let's go to.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: The front page of the Canberra Times. The Royal Commission
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: into the Defense Force came back with what was one
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: hundred and twenty two recommendations. The government is going to
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: act on one hundred and four of those, but there
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: was one that got our attention. This article details it.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: Overall overhaul means the boot for ADF sex offenders, reads
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: the headline. Australian's Defense Force will make sweeping changes to
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: how it manages sexual violence in its ranks, including here's
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: the surprise, mandatory discharges for ADF members convicted of sexual offenses.
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: No surprise is that this is not already happening. Specifically,
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: they're listing things like sexual harassment, intimate image abuse, stalking,
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: and that's on top of things like sexual violence. It
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: beggars belief that you could have committed one of these
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: crimes and then gone back to your troop, your platoon,
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: whatever you call it, where you've got to work closely
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: with other people in extreme pressure situations, and.
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: There beside you, how could this have not already been
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: in place.
• 41:55
  Speaker 5: It makes you wonder if the ADF is just like, look,
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: we've failed our our yearly recruitment targets every year since
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: twenty twelve.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: We're just gonna you know, maybe maybe maybe.
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: It's okay, because why else wouldn't you just boot them
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: out of the forces. I mean, we know that what
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: they're doing really badly in the recruitment stakes. We've got
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: just over fifty nine thousand at the moment in the ADF.
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: We're supposed to be reaching a very improbable eighty thousand
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: by twenty forty.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: I don't like our chances.
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: Maybe that is some of the thinking that's gone into
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: oh well, maybe it's minor, and were they actually convicted
• 42:42
  Speaker 5: or are they just someone's bought a complaint, et cetera,
• 42:45
  Speaker 5: et cetera.
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: As it could be the opposite.
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: Maybe recruiting numbers are so bad because no one wants
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: to be sharing a dorm with.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: A good pointe. Once again, it's just another mark on
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: which the ADF has failed. You know what, we're talking
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: about using hawks or something to take out drones because
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: we don't have any drones of our own, and it
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: just goes to show how poorly treated our ADF personnel
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: quite often are. I mean, we know the suicide rates
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: in the military are so much higher than the general community.
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: And imagine, you know, you are charged with defending your country,
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: so you are already in a precarious mental position quite possibly,
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: and then you could will have been sent off to
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: work with someone who has a sexual offense conviction, and
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: that there was no problem scene with that. Like the
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: level on which we have failed our military men and
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: women in so many ways is a disgrace.
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: Calling to the front page of the Herald Son now
• 43:44
  Speaker 5: activists cashing in the slash reads American clothing giant Patagonia.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: I never heard of them.
• 43:52
  Speaker 5: The winner of Apple founder Steve Jobs, and the Albanese
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: government have joined forces to fund the litigation that is
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: stymying job creating energy projects right across the country. Millions
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: of dollars in overseas donations to the Environmental Defender's Office
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: comes on top of almost fifteen million dollars in taxpayer
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: funds from the federal and state governments over the past
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: five years that have been used to stall resource developments
• 44:20
  Speaker 5: in the court.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: My goodness, what next?
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: The fact genuinely the fact that the tax paplayers are
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: funding this let alone activities funding our own demanded belief.
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: Now these people are like virtues in being like, oh yes,
• 44:37
  Speaker 5: the Environmental Defender's Office. We are literally this is self
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: inflicted agony here by our own government, and now we've
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: got these guys piling on top.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: I know, it's a bit like all the big overseas
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: companies and law firms that then come into Australia now
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: and run class actions because they think they can make
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: a back out of it. I mean, you know, their
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: ambulance chases these people. The widow of Steve Jobs is
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: going to tell us how we should run environmental manage
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: in our country. Bug her off. Let's go to the
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: front of the Odds tomorrow, where it says court grants
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: team access to cross six hormones. A genderus for a
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: fifteen year old has been granted access to cross sex
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: hormones despite a family court judge starting a void of
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: legal precedent on the consequences of people regretting their change
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: of gender and medically trying to reverse their decision. It
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: goes on to say that the child, which was known
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: to the court as Kelly has a developed mental disorder,
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: has identified as a girl since she was a toddler,
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: and is currently experiencing bone degeneration, which is at least
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: partly caused by the puberty blockers have been taking since
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. So we actually have a medical problem
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: here that is being caused by these drugs. The father disagrees,
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: and the court is put in the position of having
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: to make these decisions one case or another about what
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: someone is you is or isn't a child, or isn't
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: allowed to do when you have a colle disagreement between parents.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: I understand that that is what the court is there
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: to do, but the court doesn't always make the right decision.
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: And what's terrifying is the court has cited a lack
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: of legal precedent.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: And then gone on to set a terrible precedent.
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: So when in courts in future, we'll look back at
• 46:20
  Speaker 5: this case and go, oh, well, that's what was decided.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: We have a precedent here, I mean, oh my goodness.
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: The article goes on to point out this is not
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: the only case currently before Australian courts where parents are
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: arguing over whether or not their child should be allowed
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: to change gender.
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: We're going to take a break. When we come back.
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: A woman battles a tiger snake as she drives down
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: a Melbourne freeway.
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: We'll show you that. Just a moment.
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: Well before we came on air, Liz was telling Caleb
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: and I how she was once very distracted and afraid
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: while driving a car because a daddy long legs climbed
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: up her leg. We said, what are you serious? She
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: said no, no, it was a huntsman. But Liz, you've got
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: nothing on what this woman from Melbourne was.
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: Batley, I didn't say I was afraid for the record,
• 47:03
  Speaker 5: did I said? I would be petrified of a snake,
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: But spiders, I'm perfectly okay with huntsmands. Their mouths are
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: too small to bite you, so genuinely, I just scoop
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: them up.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: It's my favorite party trick.
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: But this woman going a t k's on the Monash Freeway.
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: Ladies and gentlemen, brace your cells. This is one for
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: the nightmare. Bucket felled something climbing up her leg and
• 47:27
  Speaker 5: looked down to discover a tiger snake, just the fourth
• 47:32
  Speaker 5: most venomous snake in the world. How do you think
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: you would go in that situation. I mean props to
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: her for not having a prang or a pile up
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: on the Monash Freeway.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: I think that would have.
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: Been actually quite justified under those circumstances. But she kept
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: it together then called the police and they just came
• 47:51
  Speaker 5: and yanked him from the car.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: Cool, calm and collected.
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: When the snake catcher got there, the snake had disappeared
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: because it crawls into all the cavities of the car.
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: But he knew it was a tiger snake. I didn't realize.
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: They give off a distinct smell, and he knew immediately
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: that's what it was.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: Thank you, National Geographic.
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: I imagine a woman would be worried enough knowing that
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: something was slithering up her leg, not let alone to
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: fight out it was a tiger snake, the Heaven's sake,
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: and very quickly before we go have a look at
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: this legend in the United States. He knows who his
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: president is now and he wants everyone else to.
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: Know it too.
• 48:49
  Speaker 12: I love that.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: And of course you probably remember QR codes from COVID
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: when you're too bloody checking in everywhere. But how good
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: he's walking around and you know people, Oh, I wonder
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: what this is all about. And they go out and
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: scared and then like, oh no, I didn't want to
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: see Trump. It's just another way to fool the lefties
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: into knowing that Trump is president again. Hippie watching that.
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: I now know what I want for Christmas. That's it
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: from us, good night, but stick around. Coming up is
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: The Reader Penny Show.
