Jeremy Cordeaux hosted today’s episode of “The Court of Public Opinion,” covering a wide range of topics. The discussion included political commentary and historical insights, addressing both Australian and global issues including the Israel & Hamas War.
Cordeaux started by sharing his candid views on a prime minister, hinting at his opinion without directly naming him. He then moved to discuss Paul Keating’s statement about a referendum. Cordeaux presented Keating’s quote, “If you don’t understand it, don’t vote for it. If you do understand it, you would never vote for it,” as potential evidence against the proposal.

Cordeaux brought current international events to the forefront, discussing severe violence and unrest with Hamas and Israel in the Middle East. He expressed deep concerns over blind hatred toward the Jewish state and condemned those celebrating violence. Furthermore, he highlighted demonstrations in Sydney and Melbourne, where pro-Palestinian protestors chanted against Jews, a deeply unsettling act.
Amid these concerns, Cordeaux also reflected on historical elements. He highlighted Australia’s multicultural challenges in the past with immigrants from Serbia, Croatia, and the Baltic states. Moreover, he urged modern immigrants to abandon hate and prejudice upon entering Australia.
The discussion then took an interesting turn, focusing on global slavery history. Cordeaux emphasised that slavery wasn’t solely a white invention, tracing its ancient roots across civilisations. He applauded the efforts of Europeans and Americans who fought to end slavery in the 19th century.
The show concluded with Candace Owens‘s video narration, “A Brief History of Slavery.” Owens challenged conventional narratives, emphasizing slavery’s universality throughout history and its modern presence in non-white countries. Additionally, she discussed the financial motives behind perpetuating the narrative of black victimhood.
