Episode Transcript
This is the world according to Roland.
Speaker 2Good evening, and welcome to the world according to Rowan Dean, a world whose long term temperature or climate will never change by any tangible or noticeable amount, no matter what ridiculous targets the Albanesi Matt Kean sorry Albanese Bowen government imposes on our moribund economy.
Huge show coming up tonight.
Crack open a cold one and sit back.
Speaker 1As I asked the obvious.
Speaker 2Question, can Susan Lee survived?
Plus Jimmy Kimmel fired?
Has canceled culture?
Caught up with the crazy left and the Charlie Kirk kids, thousands of them?
Speaker 1Is this jen k?
But first, according to the.
Speaker 2Treasurer Jim Chalmers, those who are opposed to Labour's insane net zero policies are crackpots and cookers.
Speaker 3Now the Liberal Party is now by this weird collection of cookers and crackpots.
Speaker 4And nowhere is that more obvious than when it comes to net zero.
Speaker 2Well, mister Charmers, that's a charming description of probably sixty percent of your fellow countrymen and women.
Speaker 1Why not go the.
Speaker 2Whole hog and just call us all a basket of deplorables.
It was Socrates who said, when the debate is lost, insults become the loser's tool.
But yes, we are indeed all proud cookers and crackpots if it means we oppose net zero and don't want to see this beautiful country destroyed by a miserable bunch of socialist, authoritarian, environmental vandals and renewables grifters.
But be careful what names you call other people, Treasurer, because you might find the descriptions are more suited to yourself.
Speaker 1It's called projecting.
Speaker 2It's when you use terms of abuse to describe your opponents that in reality apply to yourself.
What exactly are cookers and crackpots?
If the Treasurer and Prime Ministerial hopeful Jim Charmers is going to so happily insult us, it's worth knowing precisely what he means, and, by extension, what.
Speaker 1He thinks of us.
Speaker 2Remember, two thirds of this nation voted for anyone other than labor and Jim Charmers at the last election.
Well, a crackpot, according to the Dictionary, definition, is anything from an eccentric individual to a genuinely mentally ill person.
Of course, if anyone on the right ever uses the R word or anything else offensive to describe mentally challenged left wingers.
Speaker 1The whole world falls in and they may even lose their job.
Speaker 2But it's okay, apparently for the Treasurer to imply two thirds of the nation are mentally ill.
And it's even worse when we get to cooker.
This, it appears, is largely an Australian term of abuse, and I'll quote here from it fast slang.
Speaker 1Dot Com quote.
Speaker 2A cooker is someone who uses a variety of chemicals and equipment to create highly addictive and dangerous substances.
Hmm, okay, replace the word chemicals with subsidies and welfare with equipment and you have the perfect description.
Speaker 1Of Labour's economic policies.
Quote.
Speaker 2A cooker is someone who uses a variety of subsidies and welfare to create highly addictive and economically dangerous policies.
Fast Slang goes on.
Cookers often sell their products to vulnerable populations such as addicts and low income individuals, which can perpetuate cycles of poverty and addiction, leading to increased crime rates in affected areas well.
I don't actually need to change a single word of that and in my opinion, it sums up labors, entire welfare trap dependency cycle and sit down money that applies to indigenous welfare, the pension, the doll and is at the roots of the massive overspend on the ndis.
Speaker 1So that's cookers.
Speaker 2Seems to me, Jimbo that it sounds an awfully lot like you.
And then what about crackpots.
Let's check out fastslang dot com again.
Crackpots can come from all walks of life and have a wide range of beliefs.
Speaker 1Some crackpots believe.
Speaker 2In conspiracy theories, while others hold extreme political views.
Some crackpots are religious fanatics, while others are obsessed with the paranormal or supernatural.
Speaker 1So swap conspiracy theory.
Speaker 2For doomsday climate alarmism and religious for net zero evola.
Crackpots can come from all walks of life and have a wide range of beliefs.
Some crackpots believe in doomsday climate alarmism, while others hold extreme left wing political views.
Some crackpots are real zero fanatics, while others are obsessed with evs, windmills, and solar panels.
Speaker 1Whoo, let's go even further.
Speaker 2One common characteristic of crackpots is their unwillingness to accept evidence that contradicts their beliefs.
Speaker 1Couldn't have put it better myself.
Speaker 2How about the fact we've had one of the coldest winters on record when we were promised one of the warmst a Jimbo quote.
This can make them difficult to reason with and can lead to heated arguments and conflicts.
Yep, that just about sums it up.
And here's where fast slang bells the cat.
Despite their sometimes bizarre beliefs, crackpots can be highly persuasive and charismatic.
Speaker 3Hi, everyone, really big day today.
Speaker 4The government's just released its net zero plan, including our target to get emissions down by between sixty two and seventy percent.
Speaker 1Ah yes, Jimbo.
And they may use emotional.
Speaker 2Appeals or logical fallacies to convince others to adopt their views.
They may also use fear tactics or other forms of manipulation to gain support.
Speaker 1Last week, Chris Bowen and co.
Speaker 2Gave us the mother of all scare campaigns to manipulate us to accept those ridiculous net zero targets.
As I shall go into later in the show, when it comes to being a cooker, nobody cooks the books with such brazen dishonesty as this government, addicted as it is to socialist spending and maintaining welfare straight into the veins of over half this increasingly impoverished nation.
And as for crackpots, what could be more bonkers than destroying the productivity of this nation because some silly Swedish schoolgirl told us all the planet was about.
Speaker 5To explode in a fiery and fair enough hotel.
Speaker 2You, crackpots and cookers, Thy name is Labor joining me in now as former Speaker of the House Brunwin bish Ship and former Liberal Senator Holly Hughes now, great to see you both.
Speaker 1Now Opposition leader.
Earlier today, in.
Speaker 2A bit of trouble, she's been backwards and forwards on net zero.
Speaker 1Targets, et cetera.
Speaker 2Said she said one thing, then she had to come back and reverse it because obviously the who the back boy, backroom boys got into her ear and said, no, no, no, you've got to change your mind, change your story.
Speaker 1Have a listen.
Speaker 6We don't support targets in opposition.
We do, of course recognize the importance of targets in government when we have the full information in front of us, which we don't have.
Speaker 2Now, Holly Hughes first day after these ridiculous targets, and already Susan Lee cannot present a coherent argument for the simple reason that it's an illogical position that the Coalition are trying to push.
Speaker 7Look, the Coalition has to take a position somewhere on something around this.
But I think there's a couple of areas where they could actually take a new form of language out there.
Speaker 1Stop calling them renewables.
Speaker 7It's reliable or unreliable energy, and at the end of the day, solar and wind are unreliable.
But I just want to give you a little analogy if I could.
So, what is electricity.
It's a commodity.
It's no different in many many ways from oil, coal, corn, pork bellies, whatever it is.
Speaker 1It's a commodity.
But the difference with.
Speaker 7It is that it can't be stored.
So the electricity lighting up this studio is being generated as we speak.
Speaker 1And so imagine you go to Audi.
Speaker 7So you don't go to Audi for the middle Aisle, but you walk down there and you see all these random things for sale that you don't really need.
But if you think about our energy mix, an electricity mix.
You go in there and there's some wind, and there's some solar, and there's a little bit of coal, and then you've got the gas.
No one plans their budget the next day of going to Audi the next week or to see what's in the Middle Aisle, because the next time you go to the Middle Aisle of Audi, the wind might not be blowing and the solar the sun might.
Speaker 1Not be shining.
Speaker 7But we've got a government who is literally the future of the country on the Middle Aisle of Audi being able to provide what they think it'll be able to provide.
Speaker 1And it's just simply not going to happen.
Speaker 7But the coalition's got to change its narrative here.
Net zero to me is almost becoming a catch cry red herring.
It's not about that.
It shouldn't be about that anymore because it's not going to happen.
Speaker 1Do you agree, Roman?
Speaker 8Look, basically the argument is most of our power comes from coal fired powerstations.
And I think Tony Ofbit was quite correct when you said we should have a policy that says we will not close any more coal fired powerstations until such time as there is a replacement based load.
Also, we should say we will no longer rewire the nation, because that is a huge expense.
It's off budget, it's trillions of dollars.
We cannot afford it.
The money still has to be borrowed and interest paid on it.
So what we have to do is say we will maintain the existing grid, which means that we will use base load power.
It may turn out to be nuclear power, may turn out to be something else, but one thing is for sure.
It won't be intermittent power or is unlow non Really well, I've.
Speaker 1Got an analogy for you, Holly.
Speaker 2When Ronald Reagan went to Berlin, he said, mister Gorbachev, tear down this wall.
If the Liberals or Susan Lay went to the Berlin Wall now under their current strategy, they would say, oh, mister Gorbachev, can you take a couple of bricks off the top and maybe put some louvers in over there, But keep the wall, keep the wall, don't abandon that zero, but to make a few changes here at the public are not going to buy it.
We want a conservative government that says we're abandoning net zero and we're pulling out of it.
Susan Lee this morning almost said that Ben had to retract it.
And I hate to tell you, but so long as the Coalition try and walk both sides of the fence, they're going to lose.
Speaker 1You have to come out and say no to net zero.
Speaker 2We are in opposition to the Labor Party, Labor government, and we are going to pull out of Paris and pull out on that zero and focus on getting cheap electricity.
Your your analogy is good about aldi, so you don't need that zero.
Just get the cheapest electricity, which normally says is coal.
Speaker 9It is coal.
Speaker 7And if we were, if we were actually serious in this country about ensuring that, and we're going to keep this stupid moratorium banner on nuclear, the first thing that should be doing being done is coal fire power stations should be being replaced with helly coal fire power stations because the reality is our emissions aren't going down because coal can't be ramped up and down at all, so it's burning all the time.
What's happening is our grid is being destroyed because all the solar and winds coming in during the day, destroying that market for the coal fire power stations.
And then they have to be there at night when the sun when.
Speaker 1Going to decide to abandon that zero brought.
Speaker 8Let's pull out of Paris agreement.
Speaker 2Yes, when going to come to the census because time is running out.
Speaker 1When are they going to do it?
Speaker 8I don't know.
I despair When certainly today said that we won't set targets and government, I thought, hoorray right.
Speaker 1And later she's walking.
Speaker 2Back from it because the Liberal Party got in her ear.
Speaker 1And when am I right this point?
Speaker 8Absolutely, let's make this point.
The Minister for Bowen came out and said, oh, and we're not going to legislate these targets, so they're meaningless.
They don't mean a damn things.
It's not the law, so nobody has to follow them.
And when you look at the ridiculous fire and brimstone stuff they brought out, I thought, though, were we writing the Book of Revelations?
You know, the horses of the apocalypse will rise up, and the grave shall open and people come out, and the angels shall open the Seventh Seal and sound the trumpets, and briar and brimstone shall come down.
Speaker 1Seriously, it's a plagiarism.
I think I'll be doing a bit on that later on Ron.
So there you go.
Nowlli.
Speaker 2So you know, Andrew Hasty has been this week talking about if the coalition, if Liberal Party rather don't come out and say no to net zero.
As far as he's concerned, he's off he's gone.
We've had the Jacinta nonsense the other day, which I thought was a beat up.
I thought the Liberals should have backed Center Price in and said, well, actually, okay, she didn't mean to offend the Indian community.
Speaker 1But the point she raises that the Labor Party are.
Speaker 2Using immigration intake for their own benefit was an absolutely golden opportunity to slam the Labor Party.
And as yet again the Liberal Party missed the opportunity to miss an opportunity, which they never do.
Speaker 1So they missed that opportunity.
Speaker 2Now, what can the Liberal When are the Liberal Party going to get that act together and take on the worst government in Australian history.
Speaker 1It can't be that hard.
Speaker 7They need to stop talking about themselves for a start.
Andrew's made it very clear he wants to be later at some point, But does he want to be later now or does he want to be leader whenever it might.
Speaker 1Be in the future.
Speaker 7I honestly don't understand what his game plan is with this At the moment, it seems either an early false start and you know what net zero For most mums and dads out there, we talk about it, it isn't the top of mine when they sit around.
Speaker 2Their electricity bill because of the liberal parties are not making the connection and saying that these higher target means higher electricity.
Speaker 1They have to tell you about the costs.
Speaker 8The point is this, when you're in opposition, and I've lived through years of that.
When you're in opposition, a title doesn't matter.
If you've got something to say, people will invite you to come and say it.
If you have a title and nothing to say, nobody will invite you to say.
People will invite your center to come and because she's got something to say, they'll invite Andrew Hasty to come and say because he's got something to say.
It is the voice of reason that finally we're hung here.
Speaker 1Why labor has to go and labour city in the markets.
Speaker 7Living these power bills are about to go to zero.
I've never been a big fan of it.
Speaker 2I never thought sign hoh roan bitchp thank you so much.
Let's all scrap that zero and now it's time for the world's gone mad.
Yes, the world truly did go mad last week with the assassination, vilification, and demonizing of Charlie Kirk.
Seems we are now living in an age when stupidity knows no bounds.
Speaker 1I wish I was stupid.
You guys seem so happy.
Speaker 2Yes, apparently she thinks Trump supporters are happy because they are stupid.
That's certainly an interesting inversion of reality, but not quite so kooky as this one.
Speaker 1The oppressor holds all the power.
Speaker 10The people who are oppressed and targeted are standing firm in their belief that they don't owe their oppressor empathy.
Speaker 11And somehow, somehow this is a problem.
Speaker 10Please explain it to me like I'm five, thank.
Speaker 1You, okay, I will.
Charlie was a goodie.
You are a halfwit.
But speaking of oppresses.
Speaker 10This is why people don't trust white people, because it is peak whiteness and colonizer behavior to demand civility for a man who denies others their humanity, that's the oppressor, and we do not need to sympathize or empathize with them.
And don't get me wrong, because I long for a world where there is no violence in it, but until all.
Speaker 1Of us are free.
Speaker 10None of us are free, and violence is part of the equation because of the oppressor, not the oppressed.
Speaker 1It's always in the eyes.
Speaker 2Yes, we're seeing a let slowly realizing that their idiotic ideology is nothing more than hateful stupidity that can only end in bloodshed and violence is quite something.
Speaker 1Exhibit AIT funny feeling right great Exhibit B.
How on earth do you explain this?
I have the best news ever?
Speaker 9What don't want?
Speaker 12You have died?
Speaker 1Uh?
Speaker 8Second best news that.
Speaker 1Okay?
Third best news that elon day?
Speaker 6No, no, no, no, nobody died.
Speaker 1My best friend is getting married?
Speaker 13That chen is it?
Speaker 6Taylor Swaft, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey got.
Speaker 2Engaged kids thinking that great news is when some conservative dies?
Speaker 1How tragic, how sad?
But I guess that's how you end up with adult females like this.
Speaker 14Yes.
Speaker 2What the death of Charlie Kirk is exposed, among many other things, is the utter depravity and sickness of the so called woke movement.
Speaker 1Here's just a couple of.
Speaker 2Examples of just how compassionate, tolerant, and inclusive those lefties really are.
Speaker 1Did you see all that blood that came out of his body.
It was and the last thing on this today.
Speaker 13Yes, I am a better person than you for celebrating the death of a Nazi, and actually it's pretty weird that you're not and simultaneously asking people to have empathy for the Nazi.
Speaker 15Y'all good, one down a couple more ago.
Speaker 1He's dead.
He's dead, he's good.
Speaker 13As much as you want to play the oh loving father didn't deserve that.
Speaker 9Poor kids.
Speaker 2Then there are those who also want, of course, Donald Trump to die.
Speaker 1We're this upset about our reaction to Charlie Kirk, Wait until they see what happens.
How we act when it happens.
Speaker 3Oh?
Speaker 16Oh, stand when I simply ask is he dead yet?
Speaker 14I was not kidding when I said, if you were gonna get the job done, there were two better candidates.
Speaker 2It's the eyes, And sadly there are plenty plenty more like that.
It seems that after a decade of everyday conservative types being demonized and canceled for everything from praying silently outside an abortion clinic to saying men are not women, the left has become not only insanely radicalized, but arrogant with it, believing that they are untouched, but as something finally snapped.
It appears that Charlie Kirk's death, or rather the left demented response to it, has finally made mainstream America wake up and flip the narrative.
Speaker 1Jimmy Kimmel, a so called left wing comedian.
Speaker 2So called comedian, made these remarks about Charlie Kirk's assassin the other day, grotesquely trying to blame Trump supporters for the slang.
Speaker 3We hit some new lows over the weekend with the Maga gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and do everything they can to score political points from it.
Speaker 2Sensibly, Disney have now canceled his show.
Good riddens, Jimmy Bye, you won't be missed.
I guess it's a case of delayed karma, because here's Kimmel celebrating Tucker Carlson losing his show.
Speaker 3Fox News has severed bow ties with Tucker Carlson after all these years, they are parting ways, which means he was fired.
Speaker 1I mean, that's really what far?
Speaker 15Where's me?
Speaker 2And here's Jimmy Kimmel telling the unvaccinated that they deserve to die.
Speaker 3Hospitals get any more over crowded, they're going to have to make some very tough choices about who gets an ICU.
But that troit doesn't seem so tough to me.
Vaccinated person having a heart attack, Yes, come right on him, We'll take care of you.
Unvaccinated guy who gobbled horse.
Gu rest in peace, wheezy.
Speaker 1So no, I'm not sorry to see him go.
Now.
Speaker 2Across America, there has been a whole spate of firings and sackings of people who celebrated Kirk's death online.
Seems like bosses are no longer prepared to tolerate this sort of lefty lunacy.
Speaker 17Well, the Toronto District school Board is investigating after a teacher reportedly showed part of the video of Kirk's assassination to some young students.
The school board does not release the name of the teacher, only that they were a staff member at the Corvette Junior Public School.
I think that the teacher was relieved of all responsibilities until an investigation was complete.
Speaker 11You just take it.
Speaker 18You just take it like a man.
Speaker 1I'm unemployed.
What am I supposed to do?
Now?
Speaker 5Do I go home?
Speaker 1And gooon like, guys, what do I do?
Speaker 8Like?
Speaker 1Actually, like, what do you do when you get fired?
Speaker 13I was fired on Friday for saying that I was having a hard time finding empathy for Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 1Well, I just want to say thanks a lot, maga.
Speaker 12Yeah, you guys did get me.
Speaker 1Fired from my job.
So much for freedom of speech.
Speaker 19Guys, I made some stupid comments about Charlie Kirk, and the day that he was shot, I deleted them when it was requested that I do so by my employer.
And then today, on a weekend, on a weekend, I'm told that I am no longer employed at Microsoft after six years building the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion department from scratch.
Speaker 2And there are plenty of other such individuals gleeful at the death of Charlie Kirk, who are now enjoying.
Then you found freedom from employment.
But is it justified?
This man says yes.
Speaker 11And your coworkers fired for making friend of Charlie Kirk.
That's not just okay, it is morally ethical.
Speaker 1It is your.
Speaker 11Moral duty to get your lib hard coworkers immediately fired.
It's your duty to say that you feel unsafe in the workplace.
It's your duty to say they're creating a hostile working environment.
It's your duty to put that into writing and get them on the door.
Speaker 2Then there was this Australian woman who unbelievably works in mental health, who argues that there is nothing wrong or argue that there was nothing wrong with laughing at the death of Charlie Kirk and calling him a human water fountain.
Ah, yes, the compassion, the empathy.
Speaker 4I want to reiterate that it is not wrong or unethical or unkind to laugh at the misfortunes of terrible people.
That Charlie Kirk incited violence, That's what he did, and then that came back to haunt him.
That was his decision.
So it's got nothing to do with the people who are laughing and joking about him becoming a human water fountain.
Speaker 1Sadly, not everyone agreed with her.
Speaker 4Apparently they made a report to the AFP, the Federal police about me.
I'm like, what did I do other than say something that hurt your feelings?
Like, that's free speech, the ability to speak, even if that's something that personally offends you or you find distasteful.
Speaker 1So there you have it.
Speaker 2How the tables have turned After a decade of abusing conservatives for disagreeing with them, after a decade of weaponizing hurt feelings and being offended, after a decade of cancel culture and having people thrown out of their jobs for misgendering a fellow worker or whatever else, the left has finally discovered free speech.
Too late, Lefties, for years now, you've sanctimoniously assaulted free speech.
Speaker 1You've kicked it into the gutter.
Speaker 2You've hacked at it with your vile Twitter storms, You've poisoned it with your accusations of hate speech, homophobia, sexism, transphobia, racism.
You've taken a club and bashed in the brains of free speech.
Speaker 1And now you're suddenly going, hey, wake up, free speech, we need you.
But don't worry.
I'm sure you'll revert to type soon enough.
Speaker 11These are radical Christians in there that are housing neo Nazis.
Speaker 15You're defended.
They don't stupid, they don't push gays off the top?
Speaker 1Are you kidding?
Shut off?
Speaker 15Shut You want to learn he needs.
Speaker 5To learn how to communicate.
Speaker 15Say, are you gonna threaten.
Speaker 6Parent?
Speaker 2Meanwhile, here's a rap star complaining about people complaining about.
Speaker 1Is free speech yeah, real quick, At no point.
Speaker 2During yesterday's show was Charlie Kirk's death celebrated.
Speaker 1At no point whatsoever did we celebrate Charlie Kirk's death.
No, no point whatsoever.
At no point, of course you didn't.
Speaker 2In fact, here's the bit where you were so respectful and sensitively mourning Charlie Kirk's death was No, of course you weren't being disrespectful.
I'm delighted to say that despite the appalling, that appalling individual's pathetic protestations to the contrary, he too had his next gig in Holland canceled due to those remarks.
Yes, it truly is a world gone mad, but maybe sanity is starting to prevail.
Coming up after the break, American Renaissance.
Welcome back, now, let's take a look at the American Renaissance.
Joining me now is host of the Brad Versus Everyone podcast, Brad Palumbo.
Speaker 1Great to see you, Brad.
Speaker 2Now the world is still mourning the shock killing of the conservative common sense commentator Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 1His memorial is in Arizona.
Speaker 2It's to place matter Hows of thousands expected to turn out and pay their respect, But it looks like Charlie Kirk's influence, Brad is being felt even amongst the youngest generation of Americans.
Speaker 1Take a look at this.
I like to call it Generation k.
Speaker 7I am Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 15I am Charlie Kirk.
I am Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 13I am Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 1I am Charlie Kirk.
I am Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 2Brad, tell us what it's like on the ground in America, the Charlie Kirk events side.
Speaker 1What is it galvanizing people?
What's happening.
Speaker 15It's absolutely galvanizing the American right right now around Charlie and his legacy.
And it's interesting you mentioned the next generation because what Charlie Kirk.
One of the things he did so well was understand masterfully the digital game.
He was one of the first to take on TikTok and Instagram and YouTube and go viral on these clips.
And when I ask non political family members, who are you know, teenagers right, and you say, oh, well, who do you get your news from on TikTok?
One of the people they always used to say was Charlie Kirk.
So he was truly kind of on the cutting edge of that.
And I think he's become a free speech martyr at this point, whether you agreed with him on everything or nothing, he was killed because of his ideas something that's an attack on basically everything we believe in America, where you're supposed to be able to speak your mind and not have to fear for your life.
So I think his legacy will be remembered for the best parts of it, which were all about open debate and civil dialogue, and that he will be remembered and inspired countless and countless people to get involved in politics and their communities and their churches.
And I think that his legacy will live on for a very long time.
Speaker 1I agree, Brad.
Speaker 2And if Charlie Kirk inspires the next generation, a younger generation, well it truly will be an American even a Western renaissance.
The American ABCCE Network brad As acts to show Jimmy Kin alive accident indefinitely after Jimmy was making controversial comments about the killing of Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 1In an editorial segment, he suggested.
Speaker 2That members of the MAGA movement, that's the Trump supporting movement we're trying to score political points of the assassination, just take a listen.
Speaker 3We d some new lows over the weekend, with the Maga gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and everything they can to score political points from it.
Speaker 2Brad His comments have been branded offensive and sensitive, even by the show's own broadcaster.
Donald Trump has come out and reacted on social media saying, quote, great news for America.
The ratings challenged, Jimmy Kimmel's show is canceled.
Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done.
Now, many on the left, of course, are saying, oh, this is an attack on free speech.
Speaker 1What's going on?
Personally?
Speaker 2I didn't find Jimmy Kimmel either funny or interesting or particularly SETI but the key point here surely is that what he was saying was complete and at a nonsense.
Speaker 15Yeah, it was.
It was a massive mistake and one that he will surely regret after all of this.
I think he's unfunny.
I think he's politically lame, not very particularly interesting.
And if they had just kind of made this decision to end his show as a private business decision, that would have been one thing.
The problem.
The complicating factor here is that Trump's FCC chair, the Federal Communications Commission here in the US, kind of threatened ABC and there are station members' licenses to broadcast if they didn't get rid of Kimmel.
He said something along the lines of we can do this the easy way or the hard way.
So now Kimmel is playing himself off as the victim here and will likely actually have a lawsuit against it.
So this whole thing is not going down as cleanly as many people would have hoped.
Speaker 1Interesting.
Speaker 2Hassan Piker is another a more modern media character, hard Left.
He's a streamer and he's been the ABC here in Australia.
The ABC had him on as a guest to talk about the state.
Speaker 1Of discourse in the US and the way of Charlie Kirk's slang.
Just wait till you hear him defend one of.
Speaker 2His own posts which was brought up which I was astonished to see by the ABC host Sarah Ferguson.
Speaker 1Have listen, Brad.
Speaker 20I don't know the context of these particular statements, but here's a quote from you about landlords who don't want to rent out their properties.
You said kill them, murder them, let the streets soak in their red capitalist blood.
Doesn't that make you part of the problem with violent discourse?
Speaker 15This was in a conversation that I was having with a landlord friend of mine, and it's of course hyperbolic.
Speaker 2So Brad the defense there as are I was only joking, it was hyperbole whatever.
But the interesting thing here for me was that the ABC actually called in on it.
Is there a change in mood in America as well against this kind of We've had all his bloodshed, threats of violence from the left for years and years kind of go unremarked upon.
Speaker 1Is this now changing, brad Well?
Speaker 15I think a lot of sensible Americans in the middle for them, it is changing, But there is a fringe, violent far left that is only getting more extreme and more radicalized in response to Donald Trump, and Hassan Piker perfectly epitomizes that.
I mean, Hassan Piker is everything that's wrong with the modern far left.
The idea that the ABC brought him on to talk about political violence in America after Charlie Kirk's killing is bizarre because he is a uniquely radical and violent extremist in his rhetoric.
He said America deserved nine to eleven.
Just a few months ago, he said that a Republican center deserved to be killed.
I mean, this is one of the most extreme, toxic voices, very influential voice.
Unfortunately, so he is the last person that should be speaking about how we political violence in America.
He needs to take a long look in the mirror and parents need to be making sure that their kids are not tuning in to his live streams.
Speaker 2Absolutely, Brad Plumber, great to chat to you and we'll speak again soon.
Speaker 1Thanks so much for coming on the world.
Speaker 2According to Rundine, now it's time for my weekly look at the insane world of climate doomsdayism.
Speaker 1Whether or not.
Speaker 2Yes, Australian horror movie fans must ask themselves whether or not Australia has a talented individual who can create doomsday scenarios and nightmare stories to scare the kiddies witless, worthy of the greatest Hitchcock horror movies.
And the answer is we do.
Yes, it's our favorite schlockmeister, Chris B.
Movie Bowen, who this week released his greatest climate doomsday thriller ever.
You'll be terrified, You'll be on the edge of your seat.
It's Australia's first national climate risk assessment.
Speaker 1Are the predictions scary enough?
Speaker 2We thought we'd better test them with a typical cinema going audience.
Speaker 1So let's have a go.
Speaker 16Cascading compounding concurrent.
That's how the Australian Climate Service describes the impact of climate change on every community in our country.
Speaker 2Yes, ladies and gentlemen, just when you thought it was safe to live a normal life, be afraid.
Coming soon to a coastal community near you, you'll be swept away, literally cascading compounding concurrent.
Speaker 1It's cimme a change the b movie.
Yes, it's the Maestro of melting glaciers, the.
Speaker 2Demil of net zero, the Hitchcock of home battery installation.
Speaker 1Cascading.
Speaker 16It will get work over time, compounding each impact of climate change will make another impact worse and concurrent.
Communities will suffer the impacts of climate change in different ways at the same time, and we'll have a lot to manage.
Speaker 5You'll be confronted, you'll be confounded, your face will be contorted with climate conniptions.
Speaker 2But that's just the beginning doomsday predictions.
Speaker 18Hundreds could die.
Speaker 2But what do the critics have to say a lot to digest, but the overall picture for Australia is pretty grim, pretty grim.
Indeed even better.
The Australian newspaper said, Bowen's blockbuster is a great exaggeration where the focus is always on the negative great stuff.
Speaker 1Other critics like me say, you won't.
Speaker 2Believe your eyes as the planet.
Speaker 18Is literally boiled alive in this psycho climate thriller where B Movie Bowen has shown himself to be worthy of the climate doomsday maestro himself.
Speaker 3Believeably, the eater of global warming has ended the era of global boiling as arved?
Speaker 1Can you bear the suspense?
Speaker 2Will we all perish in a fiery inferno and drown and tsunami of dead coral from the great barrier reef has rising, sees flood the drought stricken cyclones.
Speaker 1B Movie Bowen's latest horror flick.
Speaker 2Their climate change Report is coming soon to an electricity bill near you, in fact, an electricity bill in your very own home.
Speaker 1But fear not.
Just when you thought the Bowen.
Speaker 2B Movie was too terrifying for mere words, along came something even scarier.
As they say in the classics, Hello Laris, I'm just so bloody angry.
Speaker 8After ten months and a bunch of pressure from the Greens, from the.
Speaker 7Community, Labor has finally been forced to release their Climate Risk report.
Speaker 19It's pretty clear why they've been hiding it for so long, because it's full of absolutely terrifying news.
This week is absolutely critical.
Speaker 4We know that their government's going to win out to their twenty thirty five climate target.
Speaker 6And if we have a target.
Speaker 4Then everything in that Climate Risk report is going to come true.
Speaker 1Yes, it's glaris from the Greens.
You have been warned.
Speaker 2Just in the nick of time.
The Climate Assessment reports has been released.
Speaker 1Few now we can.
Speaker 2All breathe easy as the government sets its new reductions emissions target sixty two tventy percent And what I wonder will that mean for the average Australian family, household or small business, or as Alfred Hitchcock always used to say, climate schmimer.
Coming up after the break up, be going head to head with Michael Danby.
Welcome back, Yes, now it's time for head to head.
Joining me now is Michael Danby and Michael is in Tel Aviv in Israel.
Great to see you, Michael.
I want to find out first of all, just very simply you've gone to Israel.
You're a well known Australian.
What are people telling you about the attitude towards Australia these days.
Speaker 12Well, they're very surprised.
They think that our reputation is a sort of a tolerant, happy go lucky pluralist society.
Has been besmirched by the attacks on Jewish institutions and individuals, but more particularly by the Elbow government's seemingly one sided view on Israel Palestine conflict.
And they're imminent vote at the UN.
Speaker 2And what's the latest on the ground there regarding Gaza.
Obviously we know that it's being ramped up.
Another major ground offensive is underway, thousands fleeing to the south, Hamas talking about lining up the hostages as human kind of shields.
Speaker 1It's disgusting stuff.
The sooner, in my opinion, that Israel.
Speaker 2Finishes the job and gets rid of Hamas, the better.
What's it like for the people in Israel, Well.
Speaker 12People are weary of the long war.
I mean, Israel is a very small country, a third size of Tasmai, and is not sort of built to endure a long long wars.
But the point is ryan it's a war you and I discuss it, but you wouldn't know it if you watched the ABC or any of the mainstream media or Australia.
More than nine hundred young Israeli soldiers have been killed.
It's house to house fighting in some parts of Gaza.
It's not these sort of monstrous Jews, you know, coming in aircraft and bombing poor Palestinians and killing children.
I mean, there are civilians who are unfortunately harmed, but it's in the course of this desperate fighting where the IDF is trying to get to retrieve Israeli hostages and to suppress Hamas.
It's you know, I'm sure if we did minute by minute television when we were invading Germany at the end of the Second World War, it wouldn't have been pretty viewing either.
Speaker 2Now, Michael, well, you know, people around the world often criticize Israel.
Oh, they shouldn't be doing this, they shouldn't be doing that, and Benjamin Netanyajo comes in for a lot of criticism.
Speaker 1But the reality is that Israel is a very.
Speaker 2Very vibrant democracy, coalition governments with all sorts of people and even out in the streets there's lots of plurality, diversity of opinion and so on.
So what is kind of the left in Israel?
How are they responding to what's happening in Gaza?
And how's the left?
I'm always intrigued by this.
How will the left in Israel respond to Australia and other countries recognizing Palestine at the United Nations very soon.
Speaker 12Well there's the sort of hard lift the Merits Party, led by a phollow called Golan.
I believe they will be acquiescent or even happy with it.
And then there's the sort of mainstream left, the very critical of Benjamin Nette and Yaho, who wish that he would accept even the half baked humas hostage for ceasefire and withdrawal offer pid and guns, both of whom I recently at a conference.
Their fortunes have gone down in the opinion polls.
Israel has this very hyperdemocratic proportional representation system where small parties come and go, but they certainly wouldn't support a unilateral recognition of a palace inan state as Australia, France, Canada and the UK are proposing.
How can you impose Rowan from London or Paris?
A micro settlement in the West Bank.
It has to be as all of these countries agreed, and the United States still does a negotiation between the parties.
You're not going to be able to get land swaps or borders unless Israel agrees to do that.
You've got to stop pay for slaying of terrorists as the Palestinian authority does, or hamas existing in guards where they want to wipe out the only Jewish state in the Middle East.
Speaker 2Now, Michael, I wanted to show you this picture.
Speaker 1It did.
I thought it was great.
Speaker 2It's Fiji, It's benjaminette and Yahoo.
Fiji has officially opened an embassy in Jerusalem this week, with the Pacific country's prime minister flying over there for the inauguration.
So there they were, they were getting together.
It means that Fiji has become the second Pacific nation after Papua New Guinea, and the seventh globally to establish a permanent diplomatic presence in Jerusalem.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjaminettanya, who was rightly delighted, So tell us Michael, has this received big news over there in Israel.
Speaker 12The strange thing is rowan for an Australian to say, Israel seems to have more success with Fiji, who.
Speaker 1Either in Australia does.
Speaker 12We're doing very badly in the Pacific, with the Chinese pushing back in the Solomons and two Valu and even Papua New Guinea where we didn't get the defense contract.
Prepsom Albo needs to make up with Nephaniello and get him to help him with Pacific relations.
Speaker 1Well, it does seem extraordinary, doesn't it.
Speaker 2But listen, I also wanted to just quickly ask you back to the anti Semitism thing.
So we've seen Pauling's story come out of Italy where a basically a teacher was attacked by pro Palestinian mobs.
Speaker 1So this was Italy.
Speaker 2You know how out of control is this anti Semitism getting around the world and particularly in classrooms and places.
Speaker 12Well, Ireland wants to ban Israel from Eurovision, the Spanish won't play soccer at the World Cup if the Israelis are involved.
It's madness.
Really, there are so many other conflicts all over the world.
This Israel obsession etc.
Has atavistic roots in Europe.
It's really something very odd and I don't think even if this war has finished, their hatreds and passions will cease.
I think the Israelis will have good relations with the Arab world as for the Abraham Accords, and even with Asia after this conflict hopefully is over soon.
But some of the European countries, by tolerating this kind of violence against people, by attacking Jewish citizens in the streets of Greece, it makes those countries look very poor.
Speaker 2And great relations with Fiji, I'm pleased to say good on Fiji, what a legend.
Thanks so much, Michael Danby and coming up after the break my final words of wisdom.
Speaker 1In a tech.
Speaker 2Last weekend, there were massive anti immigration marchers in London organized by the so called far right, Tommy Robinson, Lawrence Fox and others.
Many news outlets and commentators were horrified, and many down played the numbers, claiming there were only a few thousand far right nutters who marched, whereas blind Freddy could see that there were vast numbers, maybe over a million everyday British people now.
Trevor Phillips is an old style labor lefty who was Britain's longest serving race commissioner.
He almost ran as a labor candidate for London mayor in two thousand and he was great mates with Tony Blair.
You're getting the picture.
He has a regular TV show, and much to my astonishment, he made these comments the morning after the march.
Speaker 9The most alarming aspect of the event was just how normal the vast majority of the marchers were.
I spent an hour or two among them, and my own impression was that they were mostly the sort of people you'd meet in a country pub.
All that must worry the traditional mass parties Labor and Conservatives, now polling at less than forty percent between them.
They're training support to parties like Reform and the Greens.
Perhaps the people are sending us all a message.
Let's see if anyone at Westminster's listening.
Speaker 2Great to hear such wise words wisdom from a man who is not only a race commissioner but a traditional.
Speaker 1Died in the wall lefty.
There's hope for the world.
Yet that's it for me.
Speaker 2I'll see a Sunday morning for a very special Outsiders Live from Seapac.
Stay tuned now for James Morrow and the US Report.
Speaker 1Good Night,
