At the moment, I am highly focused on introducing the digital duty of care to the Parliament
Sharri MarksonHOST
American journalist Michael Shellenberger warned that this is what was really underlying Albanese's legislation when he came on this show last week.
Sharri MarksonHOST
There is ministerial discretion in this legislation to determine what is considered harmful content, so it's up to the minister ultimately to decide.
Sharri MarksonHOST
How worrying is this?
Lex GordonHOST
If you recall Tom DeLonge, he participated in that with Chris Mellon, and he's a disclosure advocate, if nothing else.
Lex GordonHOST
Uh, we have Michael Shellenberger reporting on alleged secret programs and this sort of immaculate constellation program.
Lex GordonHOST
That's where he comes from.
Lex GordonHOST
Then there's Matthew Brown, uh, has given us claims concerning that immaculate constellation and also hidden UAP information.
Jennifer LawGUEST
They are ideologues.
Jennifer LawGUEST
And Kelly and I both live in California where Michael Schellenberger lives, and Michael Schellenberger ran for the governorship in California and lost Newsom.
Jennifer LawGUEST
But he also revealed and released what he calls the WPATH files, which were all the goods.
Jennifer LawGUEST
You know, the young kids say today we didn't accept their receipts.
Sharri MarksonHOST
If Australia compels platforms to aggressively filter content in algorithmic feeds to satisfy a government mandate, the US government would likely consider such a measure as facilitating censorship.
Sharri MarksonHOST
And you might remember I spoke with Michael Schellenberger on the show last week about that.
Sharri MarksonHOST
So that's Trump pretty swiftly shutting down Albanese's entire agenda and his self-inflated ego with it.
Sharri MarksonHOST
Now, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will also be at the United Nations General Assembly.
Eric HarleyHOST
You know, by the liberals, that's their concern.
Eric HarleyHOST
It's like, all right, um, if, if, if she chooses those five journalists, [laughs] Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger-
Gary McNamaraHOST
[laughs]
Eric HarleyHOST
... her.
Cristina GomezHOST
The whistleblower who swore in testimony started much of this momentum because he knows how the programs were broken apart and where the files went, allegedly.
Cristina GomezHOST
In 2024, journalist Michael Schellenberger told Congress about an alleged secret effort called Immaculate Constellation, described as a hidden vault of high-quality images of these types of UFOs.
Cristina GomezHOST
and the program details were written by Matthew Brown, who gave them to Jeremy Korbel, and then Korbel gave them to Schellenberger to share at the 2024 hearing.
Cristina GomezHOST
The Pentagon says it has no records of any such program, but this search reaches into the White House, the Intelligence Director's Office, and the FBI.
Kurt MetzgerHOST
Well, no, I've had it coming at me for a la- a couple of days, but I'm right, and I don't give a fuck about none of you, and I'm gonna-
Jimmy DoreHOST
But it's so u- it's the weirdest, it's like when did these people go from, uh, ch- challenging the estab- and, and, and, well, and the worst one is that, uh, that Schellenberger guy.
Jimmy DoreHOST
He-
Kurt MetzgerHOST
Well, he's always been a plant
Jimmy DoreHOST
[laughs]
Kurt MetzgerHOST
Well, the people that built the foundations-
Jimmy DoreHOST
Well, if there's nothing, hey, Michael Schellenberger
Kurt MetzgerHOST
... still watch.

People will be able to live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future.
speaker_11SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Climate realists like Judith Curry, Steve Koonin, Michael Schellenberger, Alex Epstein, Roger Pike Jr., and Bjorn Lomborg have been saying this exact thing for years, that climate change is not an existential threat and that the singular obsession with carbon emissions has distracted us from solving real problems.
speaker_11SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But those scientists and writers were ostracized.
speaker_11SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They were censored on social media, protested, and in some cases, pushed out of their jobs.
Nathan ManuelHOST
And they have basically created a system where oftentimes they trap themselves in.
Nathan ManuelHOST
I think I basically disagree with Michael Schellenberger, who wrote San Francisco basically on everything.
Nathan ManuelHOST
And his book is about how progressives destroyed San Francisco, I think is what the subtitle of his book is.
Nathan ManuelHOST
And what I would say is that...
Sharri MarksonHOST
And the communication minister, Annika Wells, accused of trying to censor content she simply doesn't like.
Sharri MarksonHOST
I'll speak with prominent United States journalist Michael Schellenberger, who says this will impact on President Trump's relationship with Australia.
Sharri MarksonHOST
But first tonight, Josh Frydenberg and New South Wales Premier Chris Minns have both issued warnings against the chanting of the phrase globalise the intifada on Australian streets.
Sharri MarksonHOST
The former Treasurer condemned former Australian of the Year Grace Tame for uttering the offensive phrase months after the Bondi massacre.
21 MINS LATER
Sharri MarksonHOST
Look, this is certainly one of the biggest concerns.
Sharri MarksonHOST
But many critics see this as nothing more than a Trojan horse to impose Labor's misinformation laws that were rightly dropped in 2024.
Sharri MarksonHOST
And one such critic who's been paying close attention to our government's crackdown on social media is American journalist Michael Schellenberger, and I spoke with him a little earlier.
Sharri MarksonHOST
Michael, great to see you.
