- 0:11Speaker 1: He's the good reform it.
- 0:15Speaker 2: Welcome to the show coming up. Anthony Albanezi refuses to
- 0:18Speaker 2: comment on this stunning call by the International Criminal Courts
- 0:21Speaker 2: Chief Prosecutor for Israel's Prime minister to be arrested for
- 0:25Speaker 2: war crimes.
- 0:27Speaker 3: Well, I don't comment on court processes.
- 0:31Speaker 2: How gutless, and I'll show you how Albanize actually contradicted
- 0:34Speaker 2: himself just minutes lator. But if you won't comment, we
- 0:38Speaker 2: certainly will. I'll talk to Melanie Phillips on this legal
- 0:40Speaker 2: stitch up and show you evidence that this International Criminal
- 0:43Speaker 2: Court is swallowing a Hamas lie. Also tonight, the Queensland
- 0:48Speaker 2: Labor Premier embarrasses the Albanese government by backing Peter Dutton
- 0:52Speaker 2: on immigration and calls by the opposition to send police
- 0:55Speaker 2: into our universities to clear out anti Israel protest camps
- 1:00Speaker 2: will also tackle the tough topics like why are women
- 1:04Speaker 2: especially attracted to a new rage therapy that has them
- 1:08Speaker 2: hitting the ground with.
- 1:09Speaker 4: Sticks and screaming.
- 1:12Speaker 2: But first, the chances of our Anthony Albernizi calling an
- 1:16Speaker 2: early election today well got higher because the news got worse.
- 1:22Speaker 2: In particular, Telstra Today said it will sack up to
- 1:25Speaker 2: two thousand, eight hundred of its workers. That one decision
- 1:30Speaker 2: by one company sacking nearly three thousand people is the
- 1:33Speaker 2: equivalent of increasing the number of unemployed Australians by half
- 1:36Speaker 2: a percent, when the unemployment rate last month already jumped
- 1:40Speaker 2: to four point one percent. Now the kicker in the
- 1:43Speaker 2: Telstra sackings is among the reasons given today by its
- 1:47Speaker 2: CEO for these sackings.
- 1:51Speaker 5: Our industry and the world we are operating in is
- 1:54Speaker 5: fast changing. We have new and different competitors, we have
- 1:59Speaker 5: rapid answers in technologies happening, our customer needs continue to evolve,
- 2:05Speaker 5: and we have ongoing inflationary and cost pressures.
- 2:10Speaker 4: Those cost pressures like inflation. That true. Telstra is, as
- 2:14Speaker 4: you said, also focusing.
- 2:16Speaker 2: More on its core business and on using artificial intelligence
- 2:20Speaker 2: to help customers fix their problems. Doing artificial intelligence can
- 2:23Speaker 2: go through all this service history, find patterns and problems
- 2:26Speaker 2: and some of it and some of it all up
- 2:28Speaker 2: and a sentence or two and all that in a
- 2:30Speaker 2: matter of well how long does it take, you know,
- 2:32Speaker 2: thirty seconds? Less AI is a big job killer. But
- 2:36Speaker 2: Telstra is also struggling against the rising costs of We're
- 2:40Speaker 2: all facing inflation, interest rates, power prices and opposuially to
- 2:44Speaker 2: Peter Don't today pounced.
- 2:46Speaker 6: As the Telstra CEO pointed out, it's a tough economic
- 2:52Speaker 6: environment out there at the moment and it's deteriorating. We
- 2:55Speaker 6: sought today from a EMO, the Energy Regulated a very
- 2:58Speaker 6: starkhaarning to the government that unless you get the energy
- 3:01Speaker 6: pitcher right, we're going to end up with higher electricity
- 3:04Speaker 6: costs and blackouts and brown outs.
- 3:07Speaker 4: No, yes, brownouts as well.
- 3:09Speaker 2: The austraand Energy Market Operator did indeed just warn that
- 3:13Speaker 2: the danger of power blackouts and brownouts next summer just
- 3:16Speaker 2: got even higher in Victoria and New South Wales because
- 3:19Speaker 2: this supposed transition to wind and solar power to save
- 3:23Speaker 2: the planet is not going anywhere as smoothly as labor predicted.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Surprised now this report says the transmission wires we need
- 3:34Speaker 2: aren't being built fast enough.
- 3:35Speaker 4: Nor did the wind and solar.
- 3:36Speaker 2: Plants who supposedly replace all the col fire power stations
- 3:40Speaker 2: laborers helping to drive out of business.
- 3:42Speaker 4: But Energy Miss Chris Bonn today was in total denial.
- 3:48Speaker 7: Well, this is the process working, This is working.
- 3:55Speaker 2: Remember power blackouts and electricity shortages. They really hurt manufacturers, companies,
- 4:00Speaker 2: Lake Telstra, and that's what we're seeing. But there's bones
- 4:03Speaker 2: saying well, don't worry, don't worry this morning from email.
- 4:08Speaker 4: It just means that people are going to.
- 4:09Speaker 2: Fix things because we did go through last summer, all right,
- 4:13Speaker 2: didn't We Lots.
- 4:15Speaker 1: Of people said they were going to be blackouts this
- 4:16Speaker 1: last summer.
- 4:17Speaker 7: A Peter Dutton and Ted O'Brien wandered around saying there
- 4:20Speaker 7: are going to be lights going out and causing all
- 4:22Speaker 7: sorts of fear in the community. There were no blackouts
- 4:25Speaker 7: caused by a lack of electricity. We had issues with
- 4:28Speaker 7: cyclones and transmission towers falling over that could happen to anyone.
- 4:32Speaker 2: I find it's scary that this bloke is in charge
- 4:34Speaker 2: of the nation's electricity. For one of those blackouts were
- 4:38Speaker 2: caused in part not just because of a storm, but
- 4:42Speaker 2: by having a power supply that's not stable enough in
- 4:46Speaker 2: Victoria at least to handle that storm blowing over some
- 4:49Speaker 2: power lines. Windpower crashed at the same time as well.
- 4:53Speaker 2: Couldn't handle it.
- 4:54Speaker 4: Bane.
- 4:55Speaker 2: As for avoiding other blackouts last summer, well, one reason
- 4:59Speaker 2: is simple. Summer was mild. Melbourne, for instance, they have
- 5:02Speaker 2: a single day in January or December either that was
- 5:06Speaker 2: over thirty five degrees and that means, of course less
- 5:09Speaker 2: their conditioning was being used. But now emo's warning that
- 5:14Speaker 2: this safety margin between the power we have and that
- 5:17Speaker 2: power consumers might want is even less than last year.
- 5:21Speaker 2: The danger is higher and to get us through it,
- 5:25Speaker 2: it's going to have to pay some manufacturers your money
- 5:29Speaker 2: not to use electricity. We've got now a supply of
- 5:33Speaker 2: non electricity. What a fast What was it again that Bone.
- 5:37Speaker 1: Said, well, this is the process working.
- 5:42Speaker 2: So here's what's happening. The economy is in trouble, the
- 5:44Speaker 2: power system is crumbling. More people will lose their jobs,
- 5:47Speaker 2: and all of that's likely to get worse over the
- 5:49Speaker 2: next year. I don't think interest threats are going to
- 5:50Speaker 2: come tumbling down fast. So when would you hold an election?
- 5:54Speaker 2: If you were Anthony albineasy, would you wait until next
- 5:58Speaker 2: May when it's clearer that the go's plans are not working?
- 6:02Speaker 2: Would you do it rather sooner before voters wake up
- 6:06Speaker 2: to it all? And here's a mystery, right, we're running
- 6:14Speaker 2: out of electricity for the strands here already, we're running
- 6:17Speaker 2: out of houses for the Australians here already, So why
- 6:20Speaker 2: did this Govermany? I put almost a million more immigrants
- 6:22Speaker 2: in just two years and make all that worse. Join
- 6:25Speaker 2: me as the national Senator in Mack Canavan the form
- 6:27Speaker 2: of Resources. Mcanavan, good to see you again. Look, Chris Bones.
- 6:31Speaker 2: Is the warnings today from the energy market operator of
- 6:35Speaker 2: the danger of brownouts and blackouts next summer. That's just
- 6:39Speaker 2: a system working. It's just a warning. Governments and investors
- 6:43Speaker 2: will then step in and fix it. All problem solved?
- 6:46Speaker 2: Is that how you see it?
- 6:49Speaker 8: Well, Labor has run a big experiment on our energy system,
- 6:54Speaker 8: and I suppose, like all scientists, they established a hypothesis.
- 6:58Speaker 8: The Labor Party set that if they got into power
- 7:02Speaker 8: and were able to invest more in renewable energy and
- 7:05Speaker 8: wind and solar, your power bills, your viewers power bills
- 7:09Speaker 8: would fall by two hundred and seventy five dollars. They
- 7:12Speaker 8: said that would happen next financial year. So just in
- 7:15Speaker 8: a few months time, just over a month now, your
- 7:18Speaker 8: bill would fall by children's seventy five dollars. That promise
- 7:21Speaker 8: has been failed to be delivered, and so Labour's experiment
- 7:26Speaker 8: with renewables has failed. And now not only is our
- 7:30Speaker 8: power more expensive. We're quickly learning that our electricity system
- 7:34Speaker 8: is much much less reliable. And as you said in
- 7:36Speaker 8: your editorial, if we can't guarantee that the lights can
- 7:39Speaker 8: stay on, no one is going to invest in this
- 7:43Speaker 8: country to make things, to run an efficient factory to
- 7:48Speaker 8: compete on the world stage. But Wich our manufacturers have
- 7:51Speaker 8: to do. You have to be able to keep the
- 7:54Speaker 8: lights on all the time. They run twenty four seven
- 7:56Speaker 8: most factories, and so we are now designing a a
- 8:00Speaker 8: system that is weather dependent. And if I can just
- 8:03Speaker 8: quote one sentence from this report to you, Andrew story
- 8:06Speaker 8: to look away from the camera, but I want to
- 8:07Speaker 8: get it right. This report, buried in the second half
- 8:10Speaker 8: of the report, the Energy Market Operator says that wind
- 8:14Speaker 8: and solar generators are found to have low relative reliability benefits,
- 8:19Speaker 8: which are a likely to declinb further as reliability risks
- 8:22Speaker 8: are increasingly concentrated outside of periods of wind and solar availability.
- 8:27Speaker 8: I mean, it's actually quite clear that should have been
- 8:29Speaker 8: that sentence should have been on the first page, but
- 8:32Speaker 8: it's buried later in the report, and it effectively bells
- 8:34Speaker 8: a cat here saying investing more in wind and solar
- 8:37Speaker 8: is not going to solve these reliability issues, so why
- 8:40Speaker 8: is the Labor government obsessed with it?
- 8:43Speaker 2: It's so true, I mean, particularly when you see quite
- 8:46Speaker 2: often that wind droughts extend over You know, you build
- 8:50Speaker 2: ten times more wind farms, but if they're all in
- 8:53Speaker 2: the same say state, the wind drought can happen at
- 8:56Speaker 2: exactly the same time. So it doesn't mean it make
- 8:59Speaker 2: any good. You know, you're not fixing anything. Now when
- 9:02Speaker 2: we get to the stage right where the New South
- 9:06Speaker 2: Wales government is almost certainly I mean it's in negotiations
- 9:10Speaker 2: going to have to pay the Eraring power station coal
- 9:13Speaker 2: fard to stay open and not shut next year's planned.
- 9:18Speaker 2: When we're having to pay companies not to use electricity
- 9:22Speaker 2: to make things. When all this is happening, it's obviously
- 9:26Speaker 2: clear that fixing Labour's green energy plans is going to
- 9:30Speaker 2: cost us far more already than we're paying.
- 9:37Speaker 1: Well, absolutely right.
- 9:38Speaker 8: I saw the premiere today, the new Sopho's premier say
- 9:41Speaker 8: that he had to keep a rhing going because if
- 9:44Speaker 8: he didn't, the higher power prices that would result would
- 9:48Speaker 8: undermine support for renewable energy. And so just let's just
- 9:52Speaker 8: work through this. The premier is saying that we have
- 9:55Speaker 8: to keep a coal fired power station going so that
- 9:58Speaker 8: we can prove to people that renew vantage he is
- 10:00Speaker 8: the right option. I mean, he's just build the cat
- 10:03Speaker 8: himself there, saying that if we shut this cul fired POWERstation,
- 10:06Speaker 8: which is the biggest that Raarring is the biggest cult
- 10:08Speaker 8: fi POWERstation in the country, If that shuts your power,
- 10:11Speaker 8: prices are going to go up. Doesn't that maybe tell
- 10:14Speaker 8: us to something about the relative costs here?
- 10:17Speaker 1: I mean, quite usefully, Andrew.
- 10:18Speaker 8: In this report it's released today, EMAIL have actually listed
- 10:22Speaker 8: a number of different options, nine different options to fill
- 10:24Speaker 8: the gaps that they've identified. They've specified exactly how much
- 10:27Speaker 8: power you would need by from wind, solar, batteries or gas,
- 10:31Speaker 8: and we can use the CSIRO's own costs. So EMO
- 10:34Speaker 8: didn't do this, But CSROW has a cost report which
- 10:37Speaker 8: is biased towards renewables. But let's just use those costs.
- 10:40Speaker 8: On those costs alone, in the next few years, New
- 10:43Speaker 8: South Wales would have to spend four to eight and
- 10:45Speaker 8: a half billion.
- 10:46Speaker 1: Dollars to fix these gaps.
- 10:49Speaker 8: Four to eight and nine billion dollars on if it
- 10:51Speaker 8: was to go down the solar, wind and battery route.
- 10:53Speaker 1: Billions of dollars worth of batteries would be required.
- 10:56Speaker 8: When we could just keep the Couli fire POWERstation going,
- 10:58Speaker 8: have cheaper prices and it'd be a lot, a lot
- 11:00Speaker 8: less expensive to the taxpayer.
- 11:04Speaker 2: We're a long way from the days when Kevin Rudd,
- 11:07Speaker 2: as a Labor leader, this is when he was still
- 11:08Speaker 2: in opposition, was telling us that Labour's policies back then
- 11:11Speaker 2: to cut our emissions would cost every Australian one dollar
- 11:15Speaker 2: a year, one dollar a year per head. What a
- 11:19Speaker 2: joke you've been common people, Mat Canavan, thank you so
- 11:22Speaker 2: much for your time. Now to a scandal that will
- 11:26Speaker 2: destabilize the free world. And inflame hatreds here and wears
- 11:30Speaker 2: our prime minister sitting on the fence again. The International
- 11:35Speaker 2: Criminal Court overnight put a bomb under Israel. Its chief prosecutor,
- 11:39Speaker 2: a British Muslim, said he wanted to charge Israel's Prime
- 11:43Speaker 2: Minister Beniminetnahu and Defense Minister Benigants with war crimes in Gaza.
- 11:49Speaker 9: The crimes include starvation of civilians as a method of warfare,
- 11:54Speaker 9: willfully causing great suffering, serious injury to body or hew,
- 12:00Speaker 9: or cruel treatment, will fel killing or murder, and intentionally
- 12:06Speaker 9: directing attacks against a civilian population, as well as crimes
- 12:11Speaker 9: against humanity of extermination and or murder.
- 12:16Speaker 2: Now, the prosecutor even rubbed in this to me by saying,
- 12:19Speaker 2: at the same time he would charge just to be fair,
- 12:21Speaker 2: the top three leaders of Hamas for war crimes including
- 12:25Speaker 2: massacres and ripes and all the you know, the October
- 12:29Speaker 2: seventh stuff, and making it seem like the leaders of
- 12:33Speaker 2: an Islamus terror group, I like the leaders of democratic Israel.
- 12:37Speaker 2: Letnyaho was furious.
- 12:39Speaker 10: The outrageous decision by the ICC prosecutor Karim Khan to
- 12:43Speaker 10: seek arrest warrants against the democratically elected leaders of Israel
- 12:47Speaker 10: is a moral outrage of historic proportions. Mister Khan creates
- 12:52Speaker 10: a twisted and false moral equivalence between the leaders of
- 12:55Speaker 10: Israel and the hench bell of Hamas. This is like
- 12:58Speaker 10: creating a moral equivalence after September eleventh between President Bush
- 13:03Speaker 10: and Osama bin Laden, or during World War Two between
- 13:06Speaker 10: FDR and Hitler. What a travesty of justice, What a disgrace.
- 13:13Speaker 2: Now around the West, other leaders in Britain, Germany, Italy, etc.
- 13:17Speaker 2: They've joined that Yaho in damning the International Criminal Court here,
- 13:21Speaker 2: so did US President Joe Biden.
- 13:23Speaker 11: Let me be clear, contrary to allegations against Israel made
- 13:27Speaker 11: by the International Court of Justice, what's happening is not genocide.
- 13:31Speaker 2: To reject that, but not our Anthony ALBINIZI, our Prime minister,
- 13:37Speaker 2: once again try to keep sweet with Muslim voters and
- 13:40Speaker 2: the hard left.
- 13:42Speaker 1: John Biden says, seeking arrest wines. So it is right
- 13:45Speaker 1: that this is outrageous.
- 13:47Speaker 3: Well, I don't comment on court processes in Australia. Lettle
- 13:51Speaker 3: line court processes glibally, of which Australia is not a party.
- 13:56Speaker 1: You read it.
- 13:59Speaker 3: I just answered the same question.
- 14:03Speaker 2: Oh no, your Prime minister can't possibly comment on international
- 14:07Speaker 2: court cases. Yet a couple of minutes later, this same
- 14:10Speaker 2: bloke had no trouble commenting on another international court case
- 14:14Speaker 2: in London, one involving Wiki Leagues founder Julian assanell for
- 14:18Speaker 2: years in a British jail.
- 14:19Speaker 3: Which is enough?
- 14:20Speaker 1: Is enough?
- 14:21Speaker 3: There's nothing to be served by the ongoing incarceration of
- 14:25Speaker 3: mister Assance.
- 14:27Speaker 4: Hypocritt he is can't remember what he just said.
- 14:29Speaker 2: Two minutes before Opportunity leader Peter Dutton called him out.
- 14:34Speaker 6: The Prime Minister squibbed it. Today when he was asked
- 14:36Speaker 6: about this issue, and the Prime Minister had the opportunity
- 14:39Speaker 6: at the ICC where Australia was consulted in relation to
- 14:43Speaker 6: this matter, they didn't weigh in and say that they
- 14:45Speaker 6: were against this measure. Instead they sat on the sideline
- 14:51Speaker 6: and had nothing to say about it at all.
- 14:53Speaker 2: Now, now, this decision by the International Criminal Court Chief
- 14:57Speaker 2: Prosecutor's still got to be approved by a panel of
- 14:59Speaker 2: three judge but it has already been backed by an
- 15:02Speaker 2: advisory panel of six legal experts, including Amaal Clooney, the
- 15:07Speaker 2: celebrity wife of actor George But I am stunned that
- 15:11Speaker 2: they could so easily believe hamas propaganda. Now, the main
- 15:15Speaker 2: charge is that Nan Yahu and Benny Gance deliberately starved
- 15:19Speaker 2: the people of Gaza to death. But Israel has in
- 15:23Speaker 2: fact been sending hundreds of trucks a day of aid
- 15:26Speaker 2: into Gaza enemy territory for months. This is one of
- 15:31Speaker 2: the four hundred and two trucks sent in just yesterday,
- 15:35Speaker 2: And this is a market in central Gaza last Thursday,
- 15:38Speaker 2: according to the Israeli organization that's sending in the aid.
- 15:41Speaker 2: But look not at the food. So much as the
- 15:44Speaker 2: people do. They actually seem starved to you, like walking
- 15:48Speaker 2: skeletons because of Israel's war crimes.
- 15:52Speaker 4: You know, it's weird.
- 15:54Speaker 2: You've got Hamas sending out picture after picture of Palatine
- 15:56Speaker 2: children hurt by bombs. Why have they been so very
- 16:00Speaker 2: few people actually starved? And the few I've seen a
- 16:04Speaker 2: being of children, particularly children who were actually were actually
- 16:08Speaker 2: told had other severe illnesses that might explain it, or
- 16:11Speaker 2: seem physically handicapped that might too. And in the photos
- 16:16Speaker 2: the parents I see holding these children or next to them,
- 16:19Speaker 2: particularly mothers, they seemed quite plump. In fact, even Palestinian TV,
- 16:26Speaker 2: Palestinian TV in the West Bank says the Hamas terrace
- 16:29Speaker 2: and guards are actually stealing food aid from Israel. And
- 16:33Speaker 2: this became obvious when Israeli bomb knocked down a wall
- 16:36Speaker 2: of a Hamas warehouse.
- 16:39Speaker 4: By the.
- 16:42Speaker 12: Hamas Hamas for Loch and that maybe.
- 16:56Speaker 2: Look of yours gone. There is Palestinian television saying that
- 17:11Speaker 2: not Israeli join me from London is Melanie Phillips, journalist,
- 17:16Speaker 2: broadcast author columns for the Times of London and writer for,
- 17:19Speaker 2: among other things, The Jewish Chronicle and The Jewish News syndicate,
- 17:25Speaker 2: Melanie Phillips, thank you so much for your time, this decision,
- 17:29Speaker 2: your response.
- 17:32Speaker 13: It's an appalling judgment. It's an appalling ruling.
- 17:35Speaker 1: I should say.
- 17:38Speaker 13: The prosecutor has made a really obscene moral equivalence between
- 17:43Speaker 13: the genocidal attackers who launched their appalling program against the
- 17:48Speaker 13: Israelis on October seven and Israel's defense of itself against
- 17:53Speaker 13: those people in Hamas and against the possibility of future
- 17:57Speaker 13: attacks which Hamas threatened to wage against Israel over and
- 18:01Speaker 13: over again until they destroy it. That's the first thing.
- 18:04Speaker 13: The second thing is that what the prosecutor has done
- 18:06Speaker 13: in requesting these arrest warrants is to do so by
- 18:09Speaker 13: using a set of lies of the kind that we've
- 18:12Speaker 13: seen in flame mobs around the world. Every single one
- 18:15Speaker 13: of those accusations is a lie. Israel is not starving
- 18:19Speaker 13: the Garsens. It's bringing in vast amounts of aid. The
- 18:22Speaker 13: people who are deliberately causing the Garsen civilians pain and
- 18:27Speaker 13: distress and indeed killing them deliberately are actually the Harmas
- 18:32Speaker 13: who are stealing the aid for themselves making a fortune
- 18:34Speaker 13: from it. And the idea that Israel is deliberately intentionally
- 18:40Speaker 13: wantonly killing people, which is what the prosecutor has said,
- 18:45Speaker 13: is not just a lie, it is actually a blood
- 18:48Speaker 13: libel and the opposite of the truth. Because the facts
- 18:52Speaker 13: that we now know, in so far as we know
- 18:54Speaker 13: how many gardens have been killed, the United Nations has
- 18:58Speaker 13: itself harh the totals that it was putting out because
- 19:02Speaker 13: the Hamas run health ministry in Gaza has admitted that
- 19:06Speaker 13: many of its numbers of dead that it's been telling us,
- 19:10Speaker 13: this vast number of civilians that have been killed, they
- 19:12Speaker 13: took from the media. They're simply fabricated and made up.
- 19:16Speaker 13: And when one looks at the likely tally of civilians
- 19:20Speaker 13: and competants killed, it would appear that for every one
- 19:26Speaker 13: competent that's killed, one civilian is killed by Israel one
- 19:30Speaker 13: to one.
- 19:31Speaker 12: That is a.
- 19:31Speaker 13: Ratio of civilians killed to combatants, which is infinitely better
- 19:37Speaker 13: than has ever been achieved by any country in the
- 19:41Speaker 13: world in time of war. Far from deliberately setting out
- 19:44Speaker 13: to kill civilians, Israel has done more than any other
- 19:47Speaker 13: country to try to protect their lives. So every part
- 19:51Speaker 13: of this is a lie. Every part of this is
- 19:53Speaker 13: basically a blood libel, and the prosecutor has not just
- 19:57Speaker 13: buried his own reputation. He has buried the Court's reputation.
- 20:01Speaker 13: It was already pretty shaky the International Criminal Court. His
- 20:05Speaker 13: predecessors were terrible. They more or less wrecked the court.
- 20:08Speaker 13: He has now basically sealed its reputation in infamy. And
- 20:15Speaker 13: he has used and abused human rights law to do it.
- 20:21Speaker 2: Yes, and they also treat seem to treat as true
- 20:26Speaker 2: the allegation that Israel deliberately killed aid workers, rather than
- 20:31Speaker 2: that being a horrible mistake that Israel confessed to and
- 20:36Speaker 2: sacked people for, they're treating that too, apparently as true.
- 20:40Speaker 2: I agree allegations, while the allegations are being treated as
- 20:44Speaker 2: fact by prosecutor seems extremely gullible. Now, his response or
- 20:51Speaker 2: the Court's response to this allegation that oh, here you are,
- 20:55Speaker 2: you're acquating Israel with Hamas. No, no, no, they say,
- 20:59Speaker 2: we're just we're showing that we're neutral here, that it's
- 21:03Speaker 2: the law above all, that.
- 21:05Speaker 4: No one is above the law. That's all we're doing.
- 21:08Speaker 4: Do you buy that?
- 21:10Speaker 13: Absolutely not. First of all, it's certainly not neutral, and
- 21:13Speaker 13: it's not neutral if you say that people who are
- 21:15Speaker 13: bent on genocide have the same status should be afforded
- 21:21Speaker 13: the same status in terms of what they've done as
- 21:23Speaker 13: the people who are defending themselves against genocide. The implication
- 21:27Speaker 13: of the prosecutor's move is to say that a just
- 21:32Speaker 13: war can never be fought. A just war that is
- 21:35Speaker 13: proportionate to the threat to the risk, a just war
- 21:38Speaker 13: that is proportioned in terms of numbers killed, A just
- 21:41Speaker 13: war whose cause is just because you are defending yourself
- 21:44Speaker 13: and your people against attack, that that can never happen,
- 21:48Speaker 13: because you know, in war, people die. Unfortunately, it's a
- 21:52Speaker 13: great tragedy, and we should all be sympathetic, obviously to
- 21:55Speaker 13: civilians who die. The second thing to say is that
- 21:59Speaker 13: what he's done by requesting these arrest warrants is to
- 22:02Speaker 13: ride a coach and horses through a fundamental precept of
- 22:05Speaker 13: the court itself. That is what's called the principle of complementarity.
- 22:10Speaker 13: And what that means is that the court has no
- 22:14Speaker 13: jurisdiction to intervene in a state's affairs unless that state
- 22:20Speaker 13: is refusing to investigate the charges made against it itself. Now,
- 22:27Speaker 13: in order for it to do so, the court has
- 22:30Speaker 13: to give it the chance to do so. It has
- 22:32Speaker 13: to ask it to do so. Invite it to do so. Now,
- 22:35Speaker 13: first of all, Israel has not been invited by the
- 22:38Speaker 13: Court to do so, and secondly, it is in the
- 22:40Speaker 13: middle of the war in Gaza, it cannot do so
- 22:44Speaker 13: at the moment. So basically, while the war is going on,
- 22:47Speaker 13: the prosecutor has basically circumvented that ruling and has weighed
- 22:54Speaker 13: in without even giving Israel a chance to look at
- 22:58Speaker 13: it themselves.
- 23:01Speaker 2: Look the whole thing, every which way you look at
- 23:03Speaker 2: it seems so strange. If it's just no one's above
- 23:07Speaker 2: the law. Why has the International Criminal Court said nothing
- 23:10Speaker 2: about Syria, one of Israel's enemies, of course, that has
- 23:16Speaker 2: had a civil war five hundred thousand people killed, the
- 23:20Speaker 2: president having even barrel bombs dropped on his own people.
- 23:25Speaker 4: Nothing there.
- 23:26Speaker 2: Israel always is in the gun. Melanie Phillips, thank you
- 23:29Speaker 2: so much, indeed for your time.
- 23:32Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 23:34Speaker 2: After the break, Queensland's Labor Premier embarrass is Anthony Albineazy
- 23:39Speaker 2: by saying that Peter Dutton is right an immigration plus
- 23:43Speaker 2: the big immigration lie. After this immigration, I mean the
- 23:53Speaker 2: albaniz In governments. Right, it's been trying to smash Peter
- 23:57Speaker 2: Dutton for saying, well, he's got a plan to cut
- 24:00Speaker 2: immigration if he becomes leader to a prime minister to
- 24:04Speaker 2: use the housing crisis.
- 24:06Speaker 4: So Labour's got whack whack whack way oops. Oops.
- 24:09Speaker 2: Now Queensland's Labor premiers is Dutton is actually right. In fact,
- 24:13Speaker 2: he's taking the credit himself for a good idea.
- 24:17Speaker 14: So I welcome Peter Dutton echoing my comments. At the
- 24:21Speaker 14: moment we have a population that is increasing at roughly
- 24:26Speaker 14: twice the rate that the Queensland construction sector can build houses.
- 24:31Speaker 2: Joining me is the panel Cameron Milner, former chief of
- 24:33Speaker 2: staff to Labour leader Bill Shorten, our director of g
- 24:36Speaker 2: XO Strategies, and Michael Cossa forming New South Wales labor Treasurer.
- 24:42Speaker 2: Cameron the Prime minister surely is a problem here. You've
- 24:45Speaker 2: got polls showing overwhelming support for cutting immigration. Now, Queensland
- 24:49Speaker 2: Labor Premiers is that was.
- 24:50Speaker 4: My idea first?
- 24:53Speaker 2: How can the abanueze the government keep attacking Dutton for
- 24:55Speaker 2: saying the same slash immigration.
- 24:59Speaker 4: Or don't you you like it? When Queensland has get
- 25:01Speaker 4: it right.
- 25:01Speaker 15: Because Peter Dutton's right and previous Steven Miles are right.
- 25:04Speaker 15: Albanese has opened the floodgates on immigration open the floodgates
- 25:09Speaker 15: in a desperate attempt to avoid a recession.
- 25:11Speaker 4: But look at what we're living with.
- 25:13Speaker 15: We're living with huge rental lists, living with people out
- 25:16Speaker 15: an old homes and houses for their families. Huge issues
- 25:20Speaker 15: caused by Albanese losing control of migration and flooding the borders.
- 25:25Speaker 15: That's the problem that Albanie is dealing with. I'm glad
- 25:27Speaker 15: a couple of Queensland has called him out for it.
- 25:31Speaker 2: But Michael, you're the hard had money man.
- 25:35Speaker 4: Here, the former treasurer.
- 25:37Speaker 2: Now, can you explain perhaps a mystery to me because
- 25:40Speaker 2: one of the big excuses we keep We heard it
- 25:43Speaker 2: again day in day out, since Dunton said this one
- 25:47Speaker 2: of the big excuses of mass immigration we need all
- 25:49Speaker 2: these margrants to fix our skills shortages. That excuse has
- 25:54Speaker 2: been used ever since the year two thousand and before.
- 25:58Speaker 2: In that time we've imported more than eight million than immigrants,
- 26:00Speaker 2: it was still short of skills. So clearly it's not working,
- 26:04Speaker 2: is it.
- 26:06Speaker 1: Well, I think it's a bit more complex than that.
- 26:08Speaker 16: But I also note there was another Queenslander out there
- 26:10Speaker 16: trying to put the knife into Dutton today, and that
- 26:14Speaker 16: was Charmers.
- 26:15Speaker 1: And his argument was quite dopey. Look Andrew.
- 26:18Speaker 16: The bottom line here, of course, is that you do
- 26:21Speaker 16: need immigration and what Dunton's proposing and I think he's
- 26:24Speaker 16: outfoxed the government on this and that's why they're squirming
- 26:27Speaker 16: all over the place looking for an argument. He's only
- 26:29Speaker 16: proposing a temporary suspension of it till you rebalance the
- 26:33Speaker 16: program to focus on skill migration, but also to get
- 26:37Speaker 16: housing supply now housing supply, And I can see why
- 26:40Speaker 16: the Queensland.
- 26:40Speaker 1: Premier is out there arguing the case for this.
- 26:43Speaker 16: A lot of the issues have to do with state
- 26:45Speaker 16: governments not doing the proper planning and allowing the redevelopments
- 26:49Speaker 16: to go ahead. So he's just finding a convenient excuse
- 26:53Speaker 16: for his own incompetence up there.
- 26:55Speaker 1: But at the bottom line is you've got to have immigration.
- 26:58Speaker 16: That eight million that you're talking about led to a
- 27:01Speaker 16: doubling of the size of the Australian economy over twenty
- 27:04Speaker 16: or thirty years, and that's important.
- 27:06Speaker 1: But you've got to keep the two things.
- 27:08Speaker 16: About and supply plus immigration and focused immigration. I think
- 27:11Speaker 16: that's where the problem has been over the last five
- 27:14Speaker 16: or so years.
- 27:15Speaker 1: We've just been bringing in migrants.
- 27:17Speaker 16: For the sake of juicing up the economy rather than
- 27:20Speaker 16: ensuring that our infrastructure meets the requirements.
- 27:24Speaker 1: And a lot of that's at a state level.
- 27:27Speaker 2: Yeah, but hang on, I mean, Cameron, you know, Michael
- 27:30Speaker 2: says the economy is bigger, But what good is that
- 27:33Speaker 2: if you've got to expand it among many more mouths
- 27:37Speaker 2: to feed, and it comes at a cost of cohesion
- 27:39Speaker 2: and crowded cities and this and that and the other
- 27:42Speaker 2: and housing prices. I mean, for all its immigration, we
- 27:46Speaker 2: are poorer per capita than we have been for a
- 27:49Speaker 2: few years now. I mean, surely there's more to you know,
- 27:54Speaker 2: we should be able to fix our problems without always
- 27:57Speaker 2: just importing the solution from overseas well.
- 28:01Speaker 15: And wouldn't it be nice if the skilled laborers were
- 28:04Speaker 15: brickies and tilers and carpentry guys who could build a
- 28:06Speaker 15: few houses as well, rather than public servants and pen pushes.
- 28:10Speaker 15: So look, no, I think I think we've got to
- 28:12Speaker 15: get the balance right. Clearly, we need to house the
- 28:15Speaker 15: existing Australian population, and that's the point Peter Dutton's made.
- 28:18Speaker 15: Peter Dutton says, let's pause to actually catch up to
- 28:21Speaker 15: where we need to catch up to Steven Miles and
- 28:23Speaker 15: said the same if you come to south these Queensland,
- 28:25Speaker 15: it's going topsy at the moment in terms of treabull
- 28:27Speaker 15: trying to find housing.
- 28:28Speaker 4: So no, we need to.
- 28:29Speaker 15: Stop the floodgates, close them off, actually sort out our
- 28:32Speaker 15: own backyard and do that hopefully with some skilled migrants
- 28:35Speaker 15: who can build a few houses.
- 28:36Speaker 4: Andrew.
- 28:38Speaker 2: So this is the issue, Michael, I should give you
- 28:40Speaker 2: a roat of replat what I just said. I've seen
- 28:43Speaker 2: two surveys won by the Australian Population Research Institute saying
- 28:49Speaker 2: that a lot of the people we bring in as
- 28:52Speaker 2: skilled immigrants don't then work in the area that we
- 28:56Speaker 2: brought them in for. And a lot of the students
- 28:58Speaker 2: that we then give permanent residency too don't actually work
- 29:03Speaker 2: in skilled work themselves. So this is the issue really,
- 29:07Speaker 2: I mean it seems to be a very crude way
- 29:09Speaker 2: of overcoming the skill shortages.
- 29:13Speaker 16: Well you're right about that, Andrew, and as I said,
- 29:15Speaker 16: there needs to be a focused on skill migration.
- 29:18Speaker 1: I just take you up on that point.
- 29:19Speaker 16: I mean the per capita recessions only in a recent phenomena,
- 29:22Speaker 16: you know, the two decades prior to that we had
- 29:25Speaker 16: growth in real incomes even though productivity was low.
- 29:28Speaker 1: So I don't think we should be throwing up the
- 29:29Speaker 1: baby with the bath water.
- 29:31Speaker 16: Here a temporary suspension of the migration program and are
- 29:34Speaker 16: rebalancing towards the skills that we need. As Peter Dunton's proposing,
- 29:39Speaker 16: makes a lot of sense and I think it should
- 29:41Speaker 16: be supported. But you know, as a country, we do
- 29:44Speaker 16: need to have a steady state of sustainable migration.
- 29:49Speaker 1: Our birth rates, for a.
- 29:50Speaker 16: Start, are declining, and if we don't do that, we're
- 29:52Speaker 16: going to end up in all sorts of problems supporting
- 29:55Speaker 16: our welfare system, our infrastructure that's declining. So it's it's
- 29:59Speaker 16: a matter of getting the balance right. At the moment, it's.
- 30:01Speaker 2: Not right, except, of course, if that's the model you have,
- 30:06Speaker 2: you will keep growing every single year for the rest
- 30:09Speaker 2: of our lives and our children's and grandchildren's lives. And
- 30:12Speaker 2: I don't know that that inevitably will lead to a
- 30:15Speaker 2: better country. I mean, there's got to be some point
- 30:17Speaker 2: we reach an normost optimum population. I would have thought
- 30:21Speaker 2: Japan certainly thinks that it's gone that way. But here's
- 30:25Speaker 2: another issue. Where is the Prime minister's leadership Cameron. I
- 30:29Speaker 2: mean today refusing to comment on the International Criminal Court's
- 30:33Speaker 2: chief prosecutor wanted to charge Israel's prime minister with war
- 30:37Speaker 2: crimes and saying, oh, I don't comment an overseas court cases,
- 30:41Speaker 2: before then commenting a nervous's court case evolving dueling the Suns.
- 30:45Speaker 4: I mean, what is going on?
- 30:49Speaker 17: Oh, it's terrible, and Albanize yet again has gone awol
- 30:53Speaker 17: on international relations and international affairs, waiting for defat and
- 30:56Speaker 17: then Penny Wong to tell him what to say after
- 30:58Speaker 17: the press conference at the ICC, I mean, what a farce,
- 31:03Speaker 17: What a farce that you have a situation where there's
- 31:05Speaker 17: an equivalency between Hamas and Israel. I mean, can we
- 31:08Speaker 17: we talk about the ICC for a moment. China is
- 31:10Speaker 17: not a member, India, Russia, United States, Israel is not
- 31:13Speaker 17: even a member. They've got Venezuela, the third most corrupt
- 31:17Speaker 17: country in the world, as a member of the ICC,
- 31:19Speaker 17: and this is August. Body deems it necessary to charge
- 31:23Speaker 17: a country that's defending its own people from terrorism. It's
- 31:27Speaker 17: awful and I think the ICC stands in shame for
- 31:31Speaker 17: what they're prosecutor to try to do, which is basically
- 31:33Speaker 17: created headlines for Hamas that's all he's done.
- 31:38Speaker 2: Well, it's like the United Nations Human Rights a council
- 31:43Speaker 2: that's got its members China, Cuba, you know, the.
- 31:48Speaker 4: Countries the United who terror people that have It's just
- 31:54Speaker 4: it's outrage. Michael, what do you make of this?
- 31:56Speaker 16: I think Galvanese is an absolute disgrace on this issue,
- 31:59Speaker 16: and you know, I'm embarrassed that he has taken this position.
- 32:04Speaker 1: He was clearly out of his depth.
- 32:07Speaker 16: You know, we ought to be suspending our membership of
- 32:09Speaker 16: the ic C over this. You know, we have a
- 32:12Speaker 16: situation now where Alberns looks weaker than Biden, who we
- 32:16Speaker 16: all know has got some mental challenges at the moment,
- 32:19Speaker 16: and he's dottering around.
- 32:21Speaker 1: He's been an embarrassment.
- 32:22Speaker 16: I think this is the most embarrassing thing that I've
- 32:24Speaker 16: seen come out of this Prime Minister, and I think
- 32:27Speaker 16: it's appropriate that we consider Michael Well, this is this
- 32:33Speaker 16: one really greats because there's no basis for what he
- 32:36Speaker 16: said today, and there needs to be a suspension of
- 32:39Speaker 16: our membership until the situation's rectified in the way this
- 32:43Speaker 16: place is run. Look, it's a mighty python legal philosophy.
- 32:47Speaker 16: As far as I can see you know, you basically
- 32:50Speaker 16: find an excuse to justify the action you've taken politically,
- 32:54Speaker 16: and it's a disgrace and absolute disgrace.
- 32:58Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you very much, you both, Michael Costa
- 33:01Speaker 2: Camra Milner really appreciate your time.
- 33:03Speaker 4: As always.
- 33:04Speaker 2: After the break the anti Israel extreamers taking over the universities,
- 33:08Speaker 2: it's time to call in the police, says Liberal Front
- 33:11Speaker 2: bencher Sarah Henderson. She'll be on to say why and
- 33:15Speaker 2: to put a rocket under one vice chancellor in particular
- 33:19Speaker 2: after this, now is it time to call in the police.
- 33:27Speaker 2: See many of our top universities have let parts of
- 33:30Speaker 2: their camps as we take over by is anti Israel
- 33:34Speaker 2: extreamers who have set up camps there screened the Jewish students,
- 33:38Speaker 2: invaded classrooms, chanted for the genocidal destruction of Israel from
- 33:43Speaker 2: the river to the sea, and for an interfada, a
- 33:46Speaker 2: term used to describe terrorist attack attacks on Israeli Jews. This,
- 33:51Speaker 2: for instance, is Melbourne University where students have occupied in
- 33:53Speaker 2: NUS faculty building stopping classes there. Joining me is Sarah Henderson,
- 34:09Speaker 2: the Federal Oppositions Education spokesman. Sarah Henderson, thank you so
- 34:13Speaker 2: much for joining.
- 34:14Speaker 4: Me, Sarah.
- 34:15Speaker 2: We've seen these protests against Israel, the student protesters at
- 34:20Speaker 2: so many universities now occupying parts of the campuses. In
- 34:24Speaker 2: Melbourne University's case, occupying a building, harassing students, chanting frankly
- 34:29Speaker 2: genocidal chants in my opinion, calling for the destruction of Israel,
- 34:35Speaker 2: calling in even for inter fada, which is like a
- 34:39Speaker 2: name for terrorist attacks on Israeli Jews.
- 34:42Speaker 4: What shall be done?
- 34:45Speaker 1: Well?
- 34:45Speaker 12: Andrew great to join you.
- 34:47Speaker 18: And firstly, we've seen a shocking failure of leadership from
- 34:50Speaker 18: the Prime Minister and the Education Minister. They should have
- 34:53Speaker 18: thrown the book at universities which have not stood firm
- 34:57Speaker 18: against anti Semitism. Students should have the strongest action taken
- 35:02Speaker 18: against them, both discipline reaction and also police action. The
- 35:06Speaker 18: situation at Melbourne UNI and Sydney UNI is absolutely intolerable.
- 35:11Speaker 18: Last Wednesday, students were warned that there would be serious
- 35:14Speaker 18: consequences if they didn't leave the building. They're unlawfully occupying
- 35:18Speaker 18: this building, of course, and yet no action has been taken.
- 35:21Speaker 18: So bring in the police, restore law and order and
- 35:25Speaker 18: safety to university campuses. And frankly, this is, as I say,
- 35:30Speaker 18: a shocking reflection on the Albenezy government, which has said
- 35:34Speaker 18: very little about this alarming situation at some universities.
- 35:40Speaker 4: It's not a free speech issue.
- 35:44Speaker 12: It's not a free speech issue.
- 35:46Speaker 18: Free speech is absolutely supported at every university. But here
- 35:50Speaker 18: they have totally crossed the line. They are intimidating, they
- 35:54Speaker 18: are harassing, They are subjecting all students to blatant anti semitism,
- 36:00Speaker 18: anti Semitic hate and vilification. And do I spoke at
- 36:04Speaker 18: the rally in Melbourne on Sunday and I was very
- 36:08Speaker 18: close to the pro Palestinian protest and it was really frightening,
- 36:13Speaker 18: very very intimidating.
- 36:15Speaker 12: This is just unacceptable.
- 36:16Speaker 18: Everyone on a university campus deserves to be safe and frankly,
- 36:21Speaker 18: if Mark Scott, the vice chancellor at Sydney and Duncan Maskell,
- 36:26Speaker 18: the vice chancellor at Melbourne, can't do their job. We
- 36:28Speaker 18: know Duncan of course has resigned, but they should go immediately.
- 36:32Speaker 18: This should not be tolerated under any circumstances. And the
- 36:36Speaker 18: fact that Jason Claire, who basically defended anti Semitic chants
- 36:41Speaker 18: and terrorist slogans, saying these mean different things to different people,
- 36:45Speaker 18: I mean that is absolutely appalling I mean, frankly, he
- 36:49Speaker 18: is not up to the job. And as I say,
- 36:52Speaker 18: it's just absolute chaos. It's bringing our universities into disrepute
- 36:57Speaker 18: and law and order needs to be restored to meet It's.
- 37:02Speaker 2: Interesting you mentioned Mark Scott. He used to be head
- 37:05Speaker 2: of the ABC as well. Mark Scott has his chance
- 37:11Speaker 2: of university where students have chantered for Interofada, where a
- 37:16Speaker 2: group of Muslim men marched through the campus chanting all
- 37:21Speaker 2: sorts of slogans and carrying the Shahada flag of Islam.
- 37:25Speaker 2: You've had one of his senior lecturers go to the
- 37:30Speaker 2: rally two days after the October seven massacre, the rally
- 37:34Speaker 2: at Sydney Opera House, saying resistance is justified. That's a
- 37:41Speaker 2: comment about that massacre. You've had children being taught how
- 37:46Speaker 2: to chant in Fada into farda at the protest camp
- 37:50Speaker 2: at his own university.
- 37:51Speaker 4: And what's he done?
- 37:53Speaker 13: What has this man done, Andrew?
- 37:58Speaker 12: It's absolutely disgusting.
- 38:00Speaker 18: Mark Scott is rolling out the red carpet to the extremists,
- 38:03Speaker 18: the activists and frankly the terrorist sympathizers. The senior academic,
- 38:09Speaker 18: Nick Rima, he should have sacked by now. Nick Reeman
- 38:12Speaker 18: was also involved in blockading those two women from Tel
- 38:16Speaker 18: Aviv University for an hour and a half in a room.
- 38:19Speaker 12: That was absolutely shocking.
- 38:22Speaker 18: Shocking leadership from Mark Scott, shocking leadership from the Albanezi government.
- 38:27Speaker 18: And to defend these terrorists, chants Andrew, I mean, it's
- 38:31Speaker 18: just appalling. This is blatant anti semitism, This is blatant
- 38:37Speaker 18: hate speech. This crosses the line students chanting into Farda,
- 38:42Speaker 18: the river to the sea and all the rest of
- 38:43Speaker 18: it intimidating and harassing. They should be expelled. And as
- 38:48Speaker 18: I say, if Mark Scott cannot do his job, then
- 38:52Speaker 18: he should go.
- 38:54Speaker 2: Yeah, but maybe Mark Scott knows the shape guys more
- 38:57Speaker 2: than you or a Sarah, Because this is a who's
- 39:00Speaker 2: made a successful career out of not resisting you know, extremists.
- 39:06Speaker 2: You might recall that he did nothing or said almost
- 39:11Speaker 2: nothing when an extremist called Zachie Muller actually crash. It
- 39:17Speaker 2: was invited onto the Q and A to grill one
- 39:22Speaker 2: Liberal frontbencher.
- 39:23Speaker 19: Here is I pleaded guilty to threatening to kill ASYO officials.
- 39:26Speaker 19: The Liberals now have just justified to many Australian Muslims
- 39:30Speaker 19: in a community in a community tonight to leave and
- 39:33Speaker 19: go to Syria and John is because of ministers like.
- 39:35Speaker 2: Him, Sarah Henderson, that was on Q and A where
- 39:38Speaker 2: Mark Scott was head of the ABC.
- 39:40Speaker 4: You didn't do much then, it's not doing much now?
- 39:42Speaker 4: Is there a pattern?
- 39:46Speaker 12: Well, regrettably, I think there is a bit of a pattern.
- 39:48Speaker 18: He mishandled that situation with that convicted terrorist very very
- 39:54Speaker 18: badly back in twenty fifteen, and it now does look
- 39:59Speaker 18: a bit like Mark's Scott is rolling out the red
- 40:01Speaker 18: carpet to the extremists and the activists and not taking
- 40:05Speaker 18: appropriate action. I mean, the bottom line is, Andrew, everyone
- 40:08Speaker 18: must be safe at Sydney University and that is certainly
- 40:11Speaker 18: not the close at the moment.
- 40:15Speaker 4: Absolutely, Sarah Henderson, thank you so much for your time.
- 40:20Speaker 12: Thanks Andrew.
- 40:22Speaker 2: After the break a danger zone, Why am I not
- 40:26Speaker 2: surprised that this latest therapy for the frustrated is a
- 40:30Speaker 2: very woman thing and Joe Budnen's latest amazing gaffes after this,
- 40:40Speaker 2: Now we tackle here the dangerous topics, dangerous if you're
- 40:45Speaker 2: a man, at least in this case, and I tackle
- 40:49Speaker 2: it a little tentatively. I read there's a new therapy.
- 40:53Speaker 2: It's to deal with your stress, or your frustration or
- 40:56Speaker 2: your anger. It's called a rage ritual, and it looks
- 41:01Speaker 2: like this. You do see a lot of women there.
- 41:22Speaker 2: In fact, you wus say Today reports that rage rituals
- 41:25Speaker 2: have garnered attention on TikTok, where they've resonated, particularly with women.
- 41:31Speaker 2: I think that's an important point here, which I'm not
- 41:33Speaker 2: prepared actually to sketch out without some help from my
- 41:36Speaker 2: Tuesday panel. Wilkinson hosts The Fire at Will, a weekly
- 41:39Speaker 2: podcast from Spectator on Politics and Culture, and scar News
- 41:44Speaker 2: hosts Anika de Georgio, host of Deneka and James on
- 41:47Speaker 2: Sky News on Sundays at eight pm. Denik, I'm afraid
- 41:52Speaker 2: you're it for obvious reasons. You start, I'd rather not
- 41:55Speaker 2: say why. I am not surprised that women to three
- 41:59Speaker 2: are attracted to the rage therapy, but are you?
- 42:04Speaker 20: Look, Andrew, Sorry, I'm trying to still recover from that
- 42:07Speaker 20: exorcism that we just witnessed on our screens. I'm actually
- 42:11Speaker 20: really trying to figure out why these women are so angry,
- 42:16Speaker 20: and according to Google, Andrew, it's because they're angry at men.
- 42:20Speaker 20: They're angry at their partners, they're angry at their husbands.
- 42:24Speaker 20: They've been told to have to suppress their anger. You know,
- 42:27Speaker 20: you can't be angry. Men can show their anger, and
- 42:30Speaker 20: this is the way that they're doing it. Apparently they're
- 42:32Speaker 20: coughing up four grand to go and beat the ground
- 42:36Speaker 20: with sticks and carry on like pork chops. I don't
- 42:40Speaker 20: understand it, Andrew. I feel like there's better ways of
- 42:43Speaker 20: dealing with your anger.
- 42:45Speaker 13: But that's just me.
- 42:46Speaker 20: I'm very concerned that women are out there doing this.
- 42:49Speaker 20: I've got to say, I.
- 42:51Speaker 4: Had no idea if stick was so expensive. There you go.
- 42:54Speaker 2: Will give us an opinion on this. You're usually very
- 42:58Speaker 2: literate and well informed.
- 43:00Speaker 21: Usually this is dangerous territory for a thirty something white male, Andrew,
- 43:05Speaker 21: but I'll give it a crack. There is something interesting
- 43:08Speaker 21: going on with I think what is like a warped
- 43:11Speaker 21: brand of modern feminism. If you look at some of
- 43:13Speaker 21: the studies of happiness over the last seventy odd years,
- 43:15Speaker 21: you'll notice that men's happiness hasn't really changed. Men are
- 43:18Speaker 21: about as happy as they were in the nineteen fifties.
- 43:21Speaker 21: Women's happiness has fallen off a cliff. Women today, if
- 43:24Speaker 21: you look at all the studies, they are considerably less
- 43:26Speaker 21: happy than they were, and paradoxically that's come at the
- 43:28Speaker 21: same time as legal rights and equality for women has increased.
- 43:32Speaker 21: And I think this is a conversation we need to
- 43:34Speaker 21: have as a society. In this sort of modern feminism,
- 43:36Speaker 21: which says that women can have absolutely everything and they
- 43:38Speaker 21: can have it all at the same time, creates unrealistic
- 43:41Speaker 21: expectations and when those expectations aren't met, I think you
- 43:44Speaker 21: said that a lot of women aren't happy. So look,
- 43:46Speaker 21: this of stuff is funny to watch in these clips,
- 43:49Speaker 21: but there is a serious point and that and that
- 43:52Speaker 21: is around the happiness of women in society today.
- 43:56Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know that whole concept of women's
- 44:00Speaker 2: age has been around for many, many centuries, scaring the
- 44:04Speaker 2: hell out of men. Have a look at the main ads,
- 44:07Speaker 2: the women of Bacchus and the riots there were men
- 44:10Speaker 2: dared to disturb women in the forest that could be
- 44:13Speaker 2: torn to pieces. It's I don't know, and women tend
- 44:17Speaker 2: to be more religious. I don't know whether that's got
- 44:19Speaker 2: anything to do with this. And I think I'll stop
- 44:21Speaker 2: right there, Danika, before I get him into real trouble.
- 44:24Speaker 2: But the safest stuff I wonder this is probably more serious,
- 44:29Speaker 2: or maybe not. Joe Biden, the US President's I really
- 44:31Speaker 2: had many people, of course, wondering about his obvious mental
- 44:34Speaker 2: and physical decline. Two more examples of this problem from
- 44:38Speaker 2: just the past couple of days extraordinary. First, here he
- 44:41Speaker 2: is he is pardon claiming he was vice president during
- 44:44Speaker 2: the pandemic, whichevery American will know actually happened with Donald
- 44:47Speaker 2: Trump's president.
- 44:50Speaker 11: And when I was vice president, things were kind of
- 44:53Speaker 11: bad during the pandemic. And what happened was.
- 44:57Speaker 4: Rock said to me, go to Detroit, help fix it.
- 45:02Speaker 2: Bunstuff said later, well, simple mistake. You actually meant to
- 45:05Speaker 2: say he was fast prison during the recession, not the pandemic.
- 45:08Speaker 2: Although that's not a great bow star. And then there
- 45:10Speaker 2: was this bund talking about an American still actually held
- 45:13Speaker 2: hostage by Hamas in Gaza.
- 45:16Speaker 11: Here is miss you're working around the clock to free
- 45:19Speaker 11: the main hostages just over you of freed hostages already,
- 45:23Speaker 11: and here the today is hersh Golbert Paul and still
- 45:28Speaker 11: he is not here with us, but he's still being
- 45:30Speaker 11: held by a maas.
- 45:33Speaker 4: Danika.
- 45:33Speaker 2: Are these simple slips or just constant signs of senility?
- 45:39Speaker 20: I think it's absolutely constant signs of sinility, Andrew. But
- 45:43Speaker 20: we've seen this going on for some time. It's the constant.
- 45:45Speaker 12: Fumbles, bumbles, mumbles.
- 45:47Speaker 20: If he's not tripping, he's slipping, you know, he's forgetting things.
- 45:51Speaker 20: He can't read his tallyprompt, as you can see there
- 45:53Speaker 20: his eyes are straining just to read it. And it's
- 45:57Speaker 20: actually a very sad state of affairs because if this
- 45:59Speaker 20: was your loved one, if this was a family friend
- 46:02Speaker 20: or a friend, you would actually have to have a
- 46:05Speaker 20: serious conversation with them about care, the next step in
- 46:09Speaker 20: their lives and what that would look like. Yet apparently
- 46:12Speaker 20: this is the leader of the free world who is
- 46:14Speaker 20: completely incoherent and making constant gaffs on a weekly basis.
- 46:20Speaker 20: And it's sad that this is happening. And it's clearly
- 46:23Speaker 20: it's become evident he's being propped up on.
- 46:26Speaker 12: A daily basis. They're obviously giving.
- 46:27Speaker 20: Him something to prop him up, but it's not working.
- 46:31Speaker 20: And I don't know how all the Democrats have gone
- 46:34Speaker 20: this far without saying we need to replace this man.
- 46:37Speaker 20: How can he go around the rig again?
- 46:41Speaker 4: Will? Good question?
- 46:44Speaker 21: He's a good question. The great irony here, Andrew, is
- 46:48Speaker 21: that there is almost no other job in the United
- 46:50Speaker 21: States that Biden is fit for other than being president,
- 46:54Speaker 21: which apparently is now a three day a week ceremonial
- 46:58Speaker 21: role whilst other people run the country in the shadows.
- 47:01Speaker 21: That is the great conspiracy theory of our time, and
- 47:03Speaker 21: I think in years to come we will hear a
- 47:06Speaker 21: lot more about this shadow government that has been running
- 47:09Speaker 21: the United States. And I think there's another conspiracy theory
- 47:12Speaker 21: which Daneka hit on, which I think is more likely
- 47:14Speaker 21: than not, which he's been pumped up with a cocktail
- 47:17Speaker 21: of drugs to get him through the day. They're not
- 47:21Speaker 21: admitting to it in the White House, but it's the
- 47:23Speaker 21: only logical explanation that explains how his energy declines precipitously
- 47:27Speaker 21: during major speeches. That's the only thing that explains his
- 47:30Speaker 21: really odd visual appearance in his eyes in videos. I
- 47:34Speaker 21: can't believe that this is something which isn't been called
- 47:36Speaker 21: out more.
- 47:40Speaker 2: I think you're absolutely correct, because it's chalk and cheese
- 47:43Speaker 2: how he appears in some places almost totally out of it.
- 47:47Speaker 2: And then you know there's a little switch on you
- 47:49Speaker 2: that does sing chemically enhance Danika and I did read
- 47:53Speaker 2: in one of the Left wing papers. I can't remember
- 47:55Speaker 2: what it was New York Times or something that he
- 47:58Speaker 2: does intended worked very short days.
- 48:02Speaker 4: He can't get through anything long. It's really weird, isn't it.
- 48:05Speaker 20: Well, it is really weird, Andrew, And this is a thing.
- 48:07Speaker 20: Of course, he can't work long days given his age.
- 48:10Speaker 20: And this is why how long can we let this
- 48:12Speaker 20: go on for? They've actually shown a clip in the
- 48:14Speaker 20: last few days of him reading from a teleprompter where
- 48:17Speaker 20: he seems his eyes are open, he's very alert, and
- 48:20Speaker 20: then two days later he's squinting and looks sick. So
- 48:23Speaker 20: there is no doubt he's being propped up somehow, somehow.
- 48:26Speaker 20: But I mean this, there's got to be a better
- 48:29Speaker 20: candidate available. This is just ridiculous to watch this all
- 48:32Speaker 20: the time.
- 48:34Speaker 2: Well, you say the better candidate, but he says he's it,
- 48:37Speaker 2: and there's now no opportunity to get rid of him.
- 48:40Speaker 4: The Democrats are stuck with him for the next selection.
- 48:43Speaker 4: We're out of time.
- 48:44Speaker 2: I'm afraid Will Kingston and Nikins Georgia, thank you so
- 48:47Speaker 2: much indeed for your time, really appreciated. I don't know,
- 48:52Speaker 2: it's how the thing is, of course, he's got to
- 48:55Speaker 2: go is running for an electure for another four years.
- 48:58Speaker 2: You look at that, you see is ready to decline
- 49:01Speaker 2: even in this presidency, and you think, how on earth
- 49:04Speaker 2: I could he possibly do that. That's it from me,
- 49:07Speaker 2: Sherry marxing up next.
- 49:08Speaker 4: Good Night,
