The World According to Rowan Dean | 22 August

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1

This is the world according to Roland.

Good evening, and welcome to the world according to Rowan Dean, A world where this country is not hurtling into a terrifying future of deindustrialization, dramatically declining productivity and prosperity, and a culture of undergraduate student communism, grotesque anti Semitism, and totalitarian deprivation of our rights to free speech and freedom of expression.

Alas, that is the ghastly world this government is deliberately creating through their stupidity, their arrogance, and their ideological strait jacket.

More on that, Natick, We've got a huge show coming up, including it's official Anthony Albanezi has brought shame and disgrace to our nation and will forever be tarnished as a failed student radical Clementine Ford channels Greta Thunberg where they separate at birth.

Plus go broke Warning alerts.

A famous American restaurant chain is determined to decolonize its iconic image.

Well dear, but first let me just say well done to Sharry Markson for her amazing interview with Benjamin Nettanya, who Prime Minister of Israel last night.

Two quick points I will make that nobody else has made one.

Nettaya, who was correct to point out that the Palestinians already had a state in Gaza and look how they used it for murder and terror and evil depravity.

Why on earth would you give them another crack at it.

Secondly, thanks to the alban Easy government's blatant hatred of Israel, Australians, every one of us, in all walks of life has now been forced to choose who do you support, the murderous Islamist fanatics or Israel.

I've made my choice.

It's up to you now, and if you're struggling with that choice, I should do pity you.

I'll have more to say about that with the panel later in the show.

Meanwhile, I've just returned from Broom where the Australian newspaper Hancock Prospecting and others including Optus, Woolworths and Sky News hosted the annual Bush Summit, which for the next two weeks is touring remote parts of the country.

My role was a real privilege, which was to introduce one of the keynote speakers, Missus Gina Reinhardt, and what a speech it was.

But what was fascinating to me were the ideas and the passion evident in the room to develop Broom as a major destination for young OSSI's and young Ossie families and small businesses to come and make some money.

The reality is that despite all the oppressive federal and state regulations, Broom and the Kimberley and the Pilborough still have a touch of the wild West about them.

Go west, young man, Go west, young woman, if you want to make your own fortune, create your own life.

As you know, I'm totally opposed to the normal Welcomed to Countries that blight nearly every meeting, event, classroom, and boardroom of this country, a meaningless, trite ceremony largely invented by Ernie Dingo in the nineteen seventies with ridiculous pagan ceremonial gestures like burning leaves and inhaling the smoke.

But the welcome to Country performed in Broom at the Summer was the complete opposite.

No silly gestures, no patronizing platitudes, but rather a solid, relevant and purposeful speech by a very impressive Diane Appleby.

I'm sorry, I don't go for all that Auntie stuff.

Diane is not my auntie, and she's probably not yours.

But a great speech by Diane Appleby in which she urged and eagerly welcomed all young Australians and all Australians from all walks of life to come or go to broom, come to the Kimberlee, bring your ideas, bring your projects, your small businesses, your energy, and through hard work and enterprise, enrich yourselves and the nation.

This was no ooh whoe with me, I'm so oppressed speech.

And it was the opposite of all that let's shut down aolaro or shut down this or that beach or whatever so no one can go on it.

It was the complete opposite, the complete reverse, with Diane Appleby quoting her mother's observations about the richness of the earth in the Kimberley and the opportunities not only to nurture and enjoy it for tourism and so on, but to build on it and to prosper from it for agriculture, mining and enterprise for all Australians.

Speaker 2

This beautiful richness.

There's richness.

I never understood my mother.

She said, there is richness under the land that we walk on and the sea that we travel.

Speaker 1

On there's gold in them there hills.

Yesterday, former Victorian Premier Jeff Kennet was extremely blunt.

Victoria is ft the state of Victoria.

If I had a young family shivering away in socialist Victoria trying to start up my business, surrounded by lunatic lefties and machete bins, I'd be packing my bags and heading off to Broom tomorrow.

As one panelist the summit pointed out, the population of Broom is roughly fifty percent Indigenous Australians and fifty percent transients, mainly from Europe, young people who go there for a couple of years and have a great wild adventure before returning to their homes in Europe or elsewhere.

Where are the Aussies The challenges to get more Australians making the trek and enjoying the phenomenal rewards of a productive life in the bush.

Another panelist, only half jokingly, I suspect, suggested there needed to be some form of conscription to get young Aussie kids to spend their first year after school living and working in the bush.

Speaker 3

We used to make backpackers do a year in the remote Australia to get a second year visa.

I'm not against that for young Australians to do a year National service or a year and ag in the remote location.

Speaker 1

Hilarious.

Speaker 4

Three.

Speaker 1

This led to one of the West Australian ministers to quickly say that the Cook government had no plans to introduce compulsory conscription.

Don't worry about it, but look, I mean, I think there's ways to encourage it.

As I said, I think I think we'll rule out conscription.

Don't you just love politician.

There were plenty of other ideas, great ideas about how to make Australians head to the north West, head to the bush and the things government should and should not be doing, including the idea of changing the cabotage laws for Northwest Australia so that foreign owned airlines and shipping lines, tourist ships whatever could fly or sail directly to the Northwest coast, either for trade or tourism without having to go through Sydney or Melbournite, which would be a massive boom and I suspect a massive boom for the local economy, which Jims.

It's a no brainer to me.

Of course, you didn't hear any of this sort of inventive thinking or genuinely productive thinking from a single one of the half wits at Jim Charmer's round table, or rather Jim charms Lazy Susan Summit.

I call it the Lazy Susan Summit because all they did was spin the same tired old leftover socialist ideas round and around the table.

I'll have one of those.

I'll have one of those when everybody lives.

The Australian economy is still hungry.

What measly slops were served up, including such memorable phrases from Jim Chalmers as I think the way that the discussion unfolded was that the best thing they can do is to structure their involvement in our work great stuff.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the continent in Broom, the Bush Summit had lots of great economic ideas, including local academic pter you for example.

But what wasn't really addressed satisfactionally to my mind, but which does urgently need to be addressed in this nation, is the crippling effect native title is having on rural and indigenous lives rather than empowering Indigenous Australians in my opinion, until native title can be bought and sold traded in parcels, perhaps on a ninety nine year lease basis like youav in the UK.

Then all native title does is suppress economic activity rather than encourage it.

Native title areas need to be divvied up equally person by person amongst the relevant tribes, clans, whatever, and any individual should then have the right to sell that parcel of land or indeed to buy others.

The other big suppressant of economic activity across the bush, and this was addressed in varying degrees by different speakers, was of course net zero, which is not only destroying every aspect of Australian economic activity.

Of course Jim Chalmers and his clown show didn't mention it, but is even more destructive to people on the land as it is to us in the cities.

And that's saying something.

As Missus Gina Reinhardt pointed out, not only does net zero mean transmission lines, solar panels, windmills desecrating and destroying for all time vast swathes of fertile Australian land, literally depriving the nation of its food resources.

But there is no way the business of farming can remain viable under net zero.

Speaker 5

Heartbreaking, isn't it.

Many of our farmers and their families and farms are already suffering from net zero ideology.

As we speed up Climategate, they'll be worse to come.

Australia still being in the Paris accurt will saddle them with net zero restrictions, paperwork and huge expense.

Speaker 1

They already have more than enough to worry about.

Speaker 5

Farmers are already leaving the agricultural industry.

If you add net zero cost and tape burdens buying equipment that doesn't exist, unreliable, inadequate, more expensive electricity, inflating costs overall, how can our farmers survive?

Speaker 1

Indeed, Adam Giles, who was once Chief Minister of the Northern Territory and Sky fans will remember, at his own show here on Sky for a while, also spoke passionately about the disaster that is net zero.

Now.

Speaker 6

Nowhere is the disconnect with Region Australia clearer than in the reckless push for net zero, the greatest self imposed business and livelihoods destroyer in our history.

In this energy resource rich nation, we've adopted an absurd energy policy which is sacrificing our role and our revenue as a global energy producing superpower, while at the same time tearing up productive farmland for unreliable solar and wind, which requires massive, expensive transmission lines estimated to cost at tax pay it more than a trillion dollars plus a cost of expensive batteries.

Speaker 1

There were more solid ideas for the future of this nation coming out of a handful of farmers and bushes in Broom than the entire wind bag fest in Canberra this week.

In my opinion, Chris Bowen and the Albanezy government are potentially wilfully destroying this nation's future capacity to defeat itself and to secure a future prosperity with their insane, crippling net zero policies and their red green, black blue tape whatever.

But if I were struggling in some inner city socialist labor hellhole, struggling to get my small business idea off the ground, struggling to afford a home, I'd be hot footing it off to an adventure in Broom and the Kimberley.

At least they genuinely do welcome you there all right, Joining me now on the panel, There is one Nation leader, Pauline Hanson and former Speaker of the house, Bronwin Bishop.

Great to see you both.

Now I'm going to play you a little clip that I think up everything you ever need to know about Anthony Albanisi.

Have a listen, Pauline Hanson, that was alban Easy back in the day.

Has he forever tarnished his image?

Will he now forever be nothing more than a grubby student socialist who fulfilled his lifelong mission of hostility towards Israel?

Paulin, of course he will be.

Speaker 7

The leopard doesn't change its spots.

He's only got bigger over the period of time.

So you know, I watched that interview last night, and good on Sharie.

It was a great interview to watch what he had to say, especially about albans and everything he said was true.

He hasn't been a lead of this nation.

He's never he's never led with the mind to protect all the strands, regardless of what cultural background you are what, And he's never protected Jewish people.

And the whole fact is the whole everything that's happening, even these Palestinian marches, it's all about the Islamic fundamentalists who are pushing their own agenda, the hatred towards the West.

And this has been utilized to say is to do with Israel.

The whole thing is, it's it's people pushing their own agenda here and stupid Australians are going along with it, thinking, oh yeah, cease the fire.

There's a behind the scenes that's going on here to the propaganda, what they're trying to brainwash the kids in the educational system and what the people out there who have no understanding of what really is happening here.

I fear for the country in the future, and Albanezy has led it right from the start by giving money to Ronoi Hun whah and millions dollars there.

He's actually back to mass they're a murderous terror organization.

He's never really I've heard him.

I haven't heard him say you know, we are not going to support to you in this another state, Palestinian state until the hostages are given back.

He's never shown that strong backbone leadership.

And this is what I think.

I've always said, he's a pathetic, weak leader of this nation and I've got no time for him role and I say it all the time.

Speaker 1

I agree with you, Paulin.

I have to agree Bromin.

An interesting insight A brilliant interview by shari As.

Pauline was saying a great insight from Prime Minister Netanya, who was that all we are doing is feeding the crocodile, and that all we will be doing is encouraging the sorts of Islamic extremism, Islamist extremism that they've seen in well throughout the world, but we'll be encouraging it here with these actions.

That was the Prime Minister Natya, who's insight, Yes.

Speaker 8

Never is a truer word being said that when he talked about violence coming to our streets, it's already here.

Violence is also words, and the words that come out of the so called peaceful marches are violent, threatening death, calling for death.

And he's quite right to say feeding the crocodile.

I mean, look at the just look at history.

You go back to Clinton.

He thought he'd s ditched up a deal that was going to save this two state solution and the PLO and Yes, Arafat just walked away from it.

He said it was the biggest failure of his presidency.

It's going to be like that because the enmity and the hatred for the Pan Arab movement, for the state of Israel when they wanted to be a Pan Arab land ruled by another khaliphate.

And remember when the Ottoman Empire destructed, it was there was an uprising of the Arabs against it, and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who went to meet with Hitler to ask him to please send people to come and murder the Jews in Palestine.

It's a long, long story.

Alberanizi the weak man to hide behind Starma and hide behind Macrant to say, oh, look, we're going along with the rest of the world.

When the Labor Party has the dreadful record of Colvin who we actually went in twenty fourteen to a memorial service and later wreath for the Palestinians who killed the Israeli Olympians in Munich.

I mean, when you know that Visy France sent hundreds of thousands Abdues to their death in gas chambers.

This is nowhere to hide.

This is not a strong leader does.

This is the action of a week leader who simply now wants to hide behind this insult to him to say look at me, look at me.

Speaker 1

Well, I would argue it's not so much a week leader as a very aggressive radical leader who is pushing us never before as a Prime Minister of Australia throne an entire community, the Jewish community in this instance, under the bus to pursue his own grubby student politic uterly disgraceful in my opinion.

Now, Pauline, I want to ask you about the round table, the economic lazy Susan as I call it.

It was a farce Albin Easy banging on about renewables being the new industrial revolution.

What a joke.

In a way, the comparison is apt, except it's the wrong way around.

Renewables of the ludd Ites, and the real industrial revolution is AI which is going to demind huge amounts of cheap, reliable energy which can only be produced with coal, gas or nuclear.

Paulon, what did you make of the roundtable lazy susan affair?

Speaker 7

I love that term lazy Susan.

Speaker 1

You're so right.

Speaker 7

The Labor Party are always putting the spotlight on them.

Look at us, how good we are, what we're trying to do, and we're opening up, you know, for people to have their say.

The unions really, you know, the ones that are pushing about the industrial relations.

The government can't make do anything without the unions there in the back pocket telling what to do in the rear.

Speaker 1

Love this.

Speaker 7

People that were there role are actually lobbyists.

They have an open door to the ministers and the primis they're constantly all the time.

It was just putting a limelight on the Labor Party to make them look good in the eyes of the public.

If they really have their finger on the pulse, you don't need to have the roundtable to look at the productivity of this nation where it's going and the decline of their standard living of all Australians.

Immigration that's number one on the gender This climate change net zero that's driving up electricity prices, industries, manufacturing going under.

Why productivity has dropped from eight point nine percent to five point one percent.

Speaker 1

That's where that's.

Speaker 7

All losing it with jobs and the farming sector that's been destroyed.

Of course, they're destroying the mining sector as well, closing down the coal mines and the gas exploration that's happening in the country.

So if they really want to be fair income about it, look in their own backyard and the policies they have brought in that is destroying the product activity.

Speaker 1

But they don't want to absolutely I'm brilliant both Bromwin Bishop and Pauline Hanson there.

Thank you so much to both of you.

Announced time for what we like to call the world's gone mad.

Yes, it truly is a world gone mad.

His former TV host joy Rid, complaining about you guessed its white folk.

Speaker 9

They can't originally invent anything more than they ever were able to invent good music.

We black folk gave y'all country music, hip hop, R and B, jazz, rock and roll.

They couldn't even invent that, but they have to call a white man the king.

Speaker 1

Meanwhile, speaking of inventing things, over in Japan, they've come up with a fantastic new way to cut carbon emissions and to get to net zero.

Speaker 10

Japan generates electricity using people's footsteps.

Tokyo, one of the busiest cities in the world, has installed these special black tiles on and walkways.

Every time someone steps on them, the tiles capture the kinetic energy from footsteps and convert it into electricity, powering the city's future with every step.

Speaker 1

Hang on, did the Japanese really invent that scheme?

I think not.

Speaker 4

By the alien known as Rick, who once gave our world the gift of Google box technology which, when stompedne generates electricity, powering our homes and businesses, improving our daily lives.

Speaker 1

Yes, that was the Rick and Mortary cartoon series from nine years ago.

Meanwhile, you've got to feel sorry for kids who are saddled with woke, left wing mums.

The embarrassment cringe factor can be off the charts.

Have a listen as this deranged anti trumpet woman attacks and immigration agent officer and ice officer, even after her poor daughter pleads with a no, mum, no are you ice?

Speaker 11

Garbage?

Speaker 1

Who are you?

What's your name?

Are you ice?

Speaker 12

Oh?

Speaker 1

You don't want me to take a picture of your face?

Speaker 13

Is that because your ice?

Speaker 4

Mom?

Speaker 1

No?

I can imagine how that poor girl thought felt Still, mom did get her come up, and I wonder if a daughter enjoyed that.

Meanwhile, another lefty, woke female lawyer decided she could get one over the cops by reminding them as they were arresting her, that she is an assisting Attorney general and that they would regret this.

Let's see how that goes down with the cops.

Turn off the body cam.

Speaker 12

You have to turn it off, and that's your protocol.

Speaker 9

She's a lawyer, so she knows, well, that's lawyer stuff, so that's not true.

Speaker 1

So we gotta go.

No it is.

Speaker 13

That's that's all.

Speaker 1

I'm an aging.

I'm an aging.

Good for you, let's go.

Speaker 7

We're going.

Speaker 1

I'm in ag.

I'm an ag.

I wonder how it worked out for her.

Meanwhile, over in Britain, they are now arresting young men for chanting we love bacon, we wire bacon.

Yes, let's arrest those dreadful anti pro Palestinian protesters shocking stuff.

Back here in Australia are very own Greta Thunburg, the fragrant Clementine Ford was.

She and Greta separated at birth.

Happily hopped on the pro Palestine Palestinian bandwagon, but not before establishing her credentials.

Speaker 12

As you may know, the Australian Weekend magazine recently declared me to be the face of hate in Australia, and I can't you how absolutely proud I am to be considered as such.

Speaker 1

Gretta's I mean, sorry, Clementine stick is to conflate two entirely separate political slogans, the pro Palestinian from the River to the Sea, deeply offensive and the Australian First Nations always was, always will be into a single nifty one size fits all woke slogan so that the.

Speaker 13

People of Palatines can live in the shelter of each other, from their river to their sea, as always was, as always will be.

Speaker 1

Mind you, I've always thought the one thing missing from Clementine Fords rather uninspired rantings is a frying pan.

I mean, everybody knows, if you're serious about Palestine, you always bring a frying pan.

I hope she hadn't fried any bacon.

As for this woman, I think she might be onto something here.

I think she may have just invented the protest song.

But these people.

Speaker 2

Starving children digging in these friendness in falexations, prodo was with people's taxes.

Speaker 1

Ooh ooh, sorry, dear.

Unfortunately, they were doing protest songs sixty years ago, and back in those days people actually knew the words and sang along one two and it's one two.

Meanwhile, in Washington, d C.

President Trump this week hosted all the European leaders.

My favorite of her, as of course, you know, is itly is Georgia Maloney.

High point for me was when Kirstana waffled on for a seeming eternity, managing to say absolutely nothing.

He should have been at the talk at Jim Charms round table.

But just watch how both Maloney and Trump struggled to hide the absolute boredom.

Speaker 14

Mister Brownman is thank you very much, mister President, and thank you for hosting us.

Here can I start where a manual started, which is we all want peace.

The war in Ukraine has had a huge impact, particularly on the Ukrainians who borne the front of it fits with what we've been doing with the Coalition of the Willing, which we started some months ago, bringing countries together and showing that we were prepared to step up to the plate when it came to security, with you coming alongside.

Because I think if we can ensure that that is the progress out of this meeting, both security guarantees and some sort of progress on trilateral meeting, I think today will be seen as a very important day in recent years in relation to a conflict which has gone on for three and a bit years.

Speaker 1

I imagine the Maloney and indeed Trump probably everyone in the room was thinking, well this.

Speaker 4

And by the way, you know, when you're telling these little stories, here's a good idea have a point.

It makes it so much more interesting for the listener.

Speaker 1

Mind you, the presence of so many characters together in the White House has certainly given the AI satirists plenty to play with.

Given the defamation case launched by the Macrons against Candice Owens, one couldn't help but chuckle at this AI satire.

Speaker 15

I would like to begin by clarifying a situation that happened not so long ago, when my wife Brigitte slapped me like a French little inside the plane.

As a couple, we have our problem.

See.

We started dating when she was thirty nine years old.

I was only thirteen at the time.

I didn't have a girlfriend or a boyfriend.

And when I met John Michelle, he was a sweet man, I mean woman.

I'm in Brigitte.

Speaker 1

Very funny.

AI is certainly leading the world in satire if nothing else.

And there was plenty more like the gag that if Elon Musk and Georgia Maloney ever got together, they could call their daughter Eloney Maloney.

But this post was perhaps the most poignant of them all, simply showing two genuine photos side by side.

The first one was this photo from Donald Trump's first term in office, which was much remarked upon at the time.

It's an amazing photo of Angela Merkel and all the European leaders leaning aggressively over Donald Trump as if he was a naughty little schoolboy.

Contrast that picture with this picture, and what a difference a term of Biden makes.

Now it's all the European leaders sitting around Donald Trump.

He's the head master and they're the squirming school kids.

Extraordinary.

And speaking of girls taking it to the streets, here's my favorite non TEDS protester of the week, this wonderful girl from Alaska.

Speaker 12

Whenever there's an opportunity for a world leader to come to your seat, you're extremely grateful and excited.

Speaker 1

No matter who it is.

The fact that it's President Donald J.

Speaker 11

Trump, who I passed my.

Speaker 12

Vote for both times, I'm extremely excited that he's here.

Speaker 1

We need more girls like her, and you have to feel more than a twinge of sympathy for this young lady who drove miles and miles to go to her LGBT Plus festival, but the organizers would not let her in because she's got dreadlocks in her hair and that means cultural appropriation.

Speaker 16

They will I'm filming right now, but they will let me in because I have dreadlocks.

Speaker 17

They will let me in because.

Speaker 2

I have dreadlocks, and they're trying.

Speaker 4

To show me that.

Speaker 1

Appreciation policy.

Speaker 16

I'm celter.

Speaker 1

I'm celting people have dreadlocks.

Talk about the revolution turning on itself.

Meanwhile, these girls might have come up with the novel way I guess to save the planet by having fewer farting horses running around our city streets.

Nice try, but not original, girls.

It's been done before by Monty Python.

Meanwhile, in Britain, the police don't bother arresting noisy activists and protesters because they are far too busy doing other, much more important police work.

And finally, talking about inventing things, the Germans have invented a brand new competitive sport and the beauty of it is you can practice in any suburban car park.

Speaker 15

Late eeldike, he's a sudon.

Speaker 1

Now that's a sport that could catch on here.

After all, thanks to Bowen, charmers and elbow, there's no shortage of Aussies pushing around empty shopping trolleys.

Yes, it truly is a world gone mad and broke.

After the break we'll cross to the US.

Is Donald Trump channels Richard Nixon, ramping up pressure on Putin?

Welcome back and joining me now, huge week in American politics of Steve Bannon's War Room co host Natalie Winters.

Great to see you, Natalie, as always.

Now Donald Trump is saying that Ukraine can't win the war without going on the offensive, saying nobody ever wins simply by playing defense.

He's also channeling Richard Nixon and literally pointing the finger at Putin in the fairly aggressive manner, and that Richard Nixon did so.

Now tell me, Natalie, are the MAGA Americans, the Magabase comfortable with this more aggressive posturing at Putin?

Speaker 16

Well, look, I think at the end of the day, people voted for President Trump because they wanted what was going on in Ukraine to stop.

And there are a lot of, I think factors that contributed to that.

First and foremost, it's how we've never had a meaningful audit of what exactly it is that we're funding.

Right, you're alluding to this idea that Ukraine should put forth a meaningful offensive.

We don't even really know what that would look like.

And if all of the money that we've sent over there, and the AID and the AMMO and the munitions.

You know, to take your pick if it's actually even ending up there, or if somehow it's ending up in other countries that we can even track or trace.

So I think there's sort of a lot of compounding factors why people are very upset with this.

So when you start to see President Trump turning it on Putin, it's not necessarily that.

I think the Magabase is upset about that, because they defend Putin.

It's just that's not necessarily moving I think in a peaceful direction, or at least de escalating the situation, which is what I think people's primary concern is.

Speaker 1

Yeah, well, I think there's a lot still about to happen.

I wanted to ask you about this story which always amuses me.

Go woke, Go broke.

We like to say here, there's a company called Cracker Barrel.

I think there are a kind of restaurant chain in the Southern States, and they've the traditional logo had a kind of guy sitting on a barrel, and this has been rebranded and wait for decolonized.

The new woke CEO has come out and said, oh, and I know we've got this brand you exciting new logo which looks pretty ordinary to me.

What did you make of it?

I'll just play the woke ceo first, and do you think we're going to see another bud light type thing happening?

But just have a listen to her first.

Speaker 18

Honestly, the feedback's been overwhelmingly positive that people like what we're doing.

I'll give you another SoundBite.

I actually happened to be in Orlando last week with all of our managers.

We bring them together and once every other year, and the number one question that I got asked Michael was how can I get a remodel?

When can I get a remodel?

How do I get on the list?

Speaker 1

So, Natalie, the logo at the top had a kind of nice drawing of a guy sitting there on the barrel and that's a bit of history there.

The new logo on the right of the screen now is so boring and unimaginative.

What did you make of this story, Natalie?

Speaker 16

Well, I think the stock price doesn't quite comport with what she was saying there, But look, you hit the nail on the head right.

This I think is sort of a quintessentially vintage American a brand, and the same way that bud Light is very America, the typical advertisements that people who drink it are real, red blooded, patriotic Americans.

And I think that there's some sick, twisted glee that people on the left derive from destroying these sort of culturally nostalgic brands for what is American identity.

And instead of creating these new companies are creating these new visions, those oftentimes fail.

They feel the need to just decimate and destroy what already exists and sort of imbue it with their sense of the world, which is not at all not just what the shareholders want, but what the customers want.

And it's this very weird, like controlling dynamic.

And I think you see it in the same way that you've seen the Democrats have this glee, almost sadistic glee over trying to take over Texas.

They love destroying what is iconically American, and I think this is just sort of a corporate rendition of that.

Speaker 1

Absolutely, And Natalie and I think it's the perfect metaphor because they remove the character and the history, but they don't put anything in its place.

It's not like the some thing to come.

It's just all about getting rid of the past with no new ideas.

It's ridiculous.

Now, we spoke last week about cleaning up Washington, DC.

You spend a lot of time there.

Obviously already there are people I've seen on X and elsewhere saying, Wow, it's a different place.

It's smart and bright and shiny.

Crime statistics apparently even just a week in or ten days in a right down the White House Deputy Chief of Staff Steve and Miller had a real go at those who were protesting.

I love this, have a listen.

Speaker 9

So we're going to ignore these stupid white hippies that on need to go home and take a nap because they're all over ninety years old.

Speaker 1

And we're going to get back to the business of protecting the American people.

So, Natalie, other than the white hippies, old white hippies protesting, how are people in DC?

Have they noticed the difference on the ground in Washington, d C.

Speaker 16

Well, it's a week without a murder, and I think at the point in which you're celebrating that, that probably tells you that you've got a problem with the city you live in.

If that's a data point that we can even count, I mean the percentages, whether it's homicides, attempted to arrest, carjackings.

The rates to which they're down is wild carjackings eighty three percent, robberies down by forty six percent, violent crime twenty two percent, car theft twenty one percent.

But I think it goes back to sort of the Trump playbook, which is just letting law enforcement do what they need to do instead of tying their hands behind their back.

You saw it happen at the border.

I think you've seen it with a lot of the arrests, not just that are going on in DC, but elsewhere, the deportations.

Right, they're just empowering law enforcement officials, you know, supplementing a lot of it with the military or other levers of power.

But they're just doing what the laws are on the books.

It's not all that radical.

Despite what you know.

The same people in d C who wanted to throw the book at every Jan six protests or ever, now all of a sudden they hate police presence, yet they love to see the National Guard mobilized.

Post Jan six, twenty.

Speaker 1

Twenty, Natali, when does It's great to chat to you, and we'll chat to you again very soon.

Thanks so much for coming on the world according to Rondine, And now it's time for my weekly look at the insane world of climber doomsdayism whether or not Australians need to ask themselves whether or not we are being taken for complete mugs as our woeful Energy Minister Chris Bowen is busy praising India and China for reducing carbon emissions.

But hang on, take a look at this chart posted online by the brilliant Senator Matt Canavan showing annual CO two emissions.

And there's little old Australia way down here.

But look here's India right up there.

And whoa, yes, it's China way up at the top of the charts.

It's like an Olympic gold in emitting carbon and they didn't even have to cheat.

Meanwhile, rather than being embarrassed about their carbon emissions, India is actually boasting, nay bragging about having achieved a.

Speaker 19

Billion tons of coal production, while here in silly, little woke Australia, we are frantically closing all our coal fired power stations as fast as we can.

Speaker 1

Ooh, because of all together, now c mature.

Indeed, this chart also from Matt Canavan, who should, of course be our Energy Minister, or at the very least our shadow energy Minister, shows that last year China's approvals of coal fired plants rose to their highest level in a decade.

Another graph lots of graphs today by the climate pragmatist Beyond Lomborg.

It's a bit harder to read, but it's even more damning.

Basically, the black squares show all the decreases in coal usage, including our own piddly little black square there.

But the orange squares show all the increases in coal usage from around the world.

Orange square bad.

If you're a lovey you don't need to do the mass.

But yep, the big, bad daddy of them all, Shina.

You better get used to it because the bottom line is coal and going anywhere.

And just to prove how really dumb we Australians are, we also refuse to even contemplate using one of our other incredibly abundant and valuable natural energy resources, uranium.

Even the Indonesians are now looking at going nuclear.

Quote Indonesia's Nuclear Energy Regulatory Agency try saying that has officially approved the Colasser Site Evaluation Plan and the site evaluation management system plan for its first nuclear power plants.

Yep, just to our north.

Meanwhile, back here in Australia, according to those global warm freaks over at the ABC quote, any hope of a premature end to winter is fading fast.

I wonder why that might be.

Obviously, the news didn't reach our old pal, the bloke who likes to ruin a perfectly good suit to scare the kiddies about rising sea levels, none other than the UN Secretary General Antonio.

The era of global boiling guitaris has resurfaced, as it were, with a new ultra scary apocalypse Now type warning and a brand new slogan, have a listen.

Speaker 17

Scorching temperatures, little floods, deadly drafts and more, killing people, ruining lives and driving up prices.

The vulnerable are suffering the most, and you're in for far worthy FLDS on step up and deliver without delay.

Its climate crunch time.

Speaker 1

The climate crunch time.

It sounds like a chocolate bar or a new flavor of ice cream.

Yes, folks, it's better than any old Hollywood disaster movie.

Scorching peanut bars, sorry, scorching temperatures, killer bees, I mean Killer co two, rising sea levels, monster emissions.

Yes, folks, it's climate crunch time.

But are these really the highest temperatures we've ever seen?

Well not, according to this chart provided by Climate Skeptic podcast to Tom Nelson, which reports to show all the American states that set their all time record high temperatures during the nineteen thirties or prior to that.

Whether or whether or not you find that relevant or interesting is of course entirely up to you.

But for once, the red on the map actually ties in with the reality.

Let's not forget the nineteen thirties was the time of the dust ball and the Great Depression, when the climate was a threat to your life and your livelihood if you happened to live in that part of the world, and it had nothing whatsoever to do with burning coal or farting cows, and everything to do with poor agricultural practices.

Speaker 15

I've seen the winds so high and blowed my fences down.

I've seen the wind so high and blowed my fences down.

Speaker 19

Still, the dustbol did inspire Woody Guffree, and Woody Guffrie.

Speaker 1

Did inspire Bob Dylan.

So I guess you can say every dust cloud has a platinum lining.

Of course, apart from the human cost, there was the cost to livestock and other domestic pets during the dust bowl years.

But these days the biggest threat to your household pet is not the environment.

It's the environmental lunatics of the climate cult.

Increasingly we're seeing articles in climate rags like The Guardian that are blaming household cats and dogs for yes, you guessed at climate change.

Pet dogs have a multifarous effect on the environment, screams one.

Your dog is part of the climate problem, says another.

Then there's even man's best friend maybe nature's worst enemy.

Oooh well, I asked this delightful little kavoodle what she thought of all that, and all she could say was climate Schmilman wo coming up too against one as China's man camera makes obvious his intentions for Taiwan.

Welcome back to the Program's time for my regular two against one.

Welcome to former Labor MP Michael Danby and former Lebor Minister Graham Richardson.

Great to see you both now, Michael, I wanted to pick your brains on this.

China's top diplomat in Canberra has told Alban easy to keep a correct historical perspective when it comes to Taiwan belonging to China.

China, Michael, they're not even trying to hide what they're up to, now, are they?

Speaker 15

Not?

Speaker 20

Only that they're writing op eds in the conservative leading newspaper, The Australian, So they're getting away with blue murder.

Look, this is because the ministers won't mention China.

When the Chinese aircraft carrier broke through the Second Island Chain for the first time earlier this year, neither Miles nor Wong mentioned it.

And how can you get Australians to support an increase in defense expenditure to three three percent that's a percent above where we are unless you explain to them the reason of the Chinese military build up.

So Chinese disinformation is working very effectively to prevent an Australian military build up.

Speaker 1

Rich I want to ask you about what I call the lazy Susan round Ti.

What a face everyone is saying it's so fast.

Let me just quote one of the pearls of wisdom from this bloker, Jim Chalmers, that you seem to think is so good.

Let me quote him.

This is why you can't apply a blanket rule in my view, because there's some work underway and we're going to get more reviews, deep dives and consultation.

This is PowerPoint rubbish.

It's an insult to the people of Australia.

What did you make of the round table?

I think I think you're a bit strong in a criticism.

I'd have to say, so what came out of it?

It didn't lift me off my seat?

Good?

I got to say, yeah, that's an understatement.

It was.

Speaker 21

I'd have to say, to use a common expression in another language, trades ordinary they do.

Speaker 1

Isn't that what they say?

So basically you're agreeing with me, although I say it more eloquently than you do.

But you're not allowed to say it because you're a labor man.

Michael Dan, but you're also a laborman.

But what did you make of Jim Charmer's lazy Susan round table?

Speaker 20

No energy reform, no industrial relations reform, and no tax reform.

You know we need to stop that bracket creep.

That would have been fantastic development for the average Australian.

Speaker 1

I agree.

Now I want to ask you both about Shari Markson's amazing interview with Benjamin Netanyahu.

I'll kick off with you, rich Oh, I think there are some very serious insights in there.

But did you ever think you would see the day?

You were in Bob hawks Parliament?

You were a close friend of Bob Hawks.

Did you ever think you would see the day, Graham Richardson where the Prime Minister of Israel would be lambasting the Australian Prime Minister.

After two years, nearly two years of constant beratements on the path of the late on the part of the Labor government against Israel, finally Netanya who snapped, what did you did you think you would ever see this day?

Graham Richardson?

Speaker 21

Ah, yes, I did, because you could see it coming.

And I'm as sad as it may be, you could see it coming.

And I'm not surprised at net Yahoo's reaction.

I think he was entitled to have a go.

I think we're being far too negative on this.

Speaker 1

And Michael, I want to ask you there are some pretty severe damaging insights in there on the part of Prime Minister net and Yahoo.

The ones that caught my attention with the idea that we're just what all the Albanizi government has done, and Penny Wong and Albanzi and Tony Burke, the three of them together, all they have done, according to Benjaminette and Yahoo, is promote the likelihood of more extremist violence on our streets.

Do you agree with that insight?

Speaker 20

It's immediately apparent to anyone who's Jewish that every time, as well as criticizing these extreme ways, like Burke did by saying, the Israelies are just blowing up Tony, it's a war.

People die in war.

Was the house to house fighting.

You wouldn't know it, Rowan if you wereatching the ABC.

Speaker 1

So they live in two different worlds.

Speaker 20

The Israelis see what's happening and we don't see it in Australia because the mainstream media cover it up.

Speaker 1

Grahan Richards and Michael Danby, thanks so much for coming on the world.

According to round In, it's always great to see you both.

And after the break my words of wisdom for the night.

And finally, I want to play you this clip.

I was going to put it in the World Gone Mad segment, but with all the idiocy currently going on, it deserves its own little segment.

Speaker 11

How do you feel that a lot of the refugees that you are defending, right now, actually don't believe in LGBTQ and tryans and actually in their country, someone who's queer or trying to actually be hung.

How do you feel that that's their mentality and you're offending.

Speaker 1

Them as a clear trans person.

Speaker 10

I think both bad, but that doesn't mean that their rights should be taken away.

Speaker 1

What a perfect metaphor idiotic, woke, ill educated people right across the West, right here in Australia, in our government, are desperate to support a regime that, were that regime actually given the power to do so, would annihilate those very same people so keen to empower it the absolute definition of insanity.

That's it from me.

Stay tuned now.
