Speaker 1: From the Skyinging Center. This is Paul Burray Live.
Speaker 2: What a Thursday night I've got for you on the Telly.
Speaker 2: I stand by everything I said this morning.
Speaker 1: When I watched the Joe Biden speech live, it was pathetic.
Speaker 1: He was lost like he was in the debate. He
Speaker 1: was so weird. It was weird. We'll talk about it
Speaker 1: in a second.
Speaker 2: Obviously, go Australia when it comes to the Olympic Games,
Speaker 2: I of course plea that while all of those live
Speaker 2: events are on, please make sure that you watch the show,
Speaker 2: either live or on demand, or get the podcast, because
Speaker 2: the news rolls on regardless of what's happening. And wait
Speaker 2: till I tell you what the Queensland government is now going.
Speaker 1: To allow at school is this year.
Speaker 2: This will frighten anyone with kids of that particular rage
Speaker 2: or grandkids. But obviously all of us are heading in
Speaker 2: one direction. Some of us will get it there sooner
Speaker 2: than others. But it is of course some form of
Speaker 2: aged care. Now Australia has a system. We try to
Speaker 2: stay in their house for as long as possible, but
Speaker 2: then sometimes we have to go to somewhere else to be.
Speaker 1: Taken care of. This is a very serious.
Speaker 2: Important thing, because we all know somebody who's gone through it,
Speaker 2: is going through it, is about to go through it,
Speaker 2: or it might be us ourselves. And obviously we've had
Speaker 2: things like an Agecare World Commission, which you've seen so
Speaker 2: many terrible stories about the way that people are treated
Speaker 2: in these organizations. Now, of course, I should say before
Speaker 2: we get too deep into this, many, if not all,
Speaker 2: of the people who actually are there, face to face,
Speaker 2: the nurses, the care as, all of those people, they
Speaker 2: are all in and they love the people that we love, okay,
Speaker 2: but sometimes the companies that are in charge of them, well,
Speaker 2: they don't seem to share the love that we do,
Speaker 2: and they also don't seem to share the sense of
Speaker 2: care that you would think is there when you have
Speaker 2: to sell your house to pay to go into an
Speaker 2: age care facility. It's something that was discussed at the
Speaker 2: last federal election, and this government claimed that they were
Speaker 2: going to change the world first with a nurse in
Speaker 2: every agecare facility in the country.
Speaker 3: Twenty four to seven nurses, twenty four to seven nurses
Speaker 3: twenty four seven four seven nurses, nurses twenty four seven,
Speaker 3: twenty four seven nurses twenty four to seven nurse in
Speaker 3: a nursing home twenty four to seven.
Speaker 2: Now that promise has not happened, and there are options
Speaker 2: where facilities have somehow been able to opt out of
Speaker 2: that system. So surprised that promise has not come to
Speaker 2: full effect. The other one is about the type of
Speaker 2: food that people have in aged care. Too many reports
Speaker 2: have told us for too long about the quality of
Speaker 2: nutritional the outright lack of it that many people in
Speaker 2: their final years are actually getting.
Speaker 1: From these institutions.
Speaker 2: So the now Prime Minister made a very obvious promise,
Speaker 2: and he even had a famous face to help him
Speaker 2: change the food in aged.
Speaker 3: Care, that the Maggie Bear Foundation would play a role
Speaker 3: in lifting up the standards in providing the quality of
Speaker 3: food which provides the nutritious content that older residents need
Speaker 3: and that they deserve.
Speaker 2: Frankly, well, I hope you're sitting down, because this is
Speaker 2: how the Australian reported a shocking number today.
Speaker 1: Four out of ten people.
Speaker 2: In nursing homes are malnourished, not because they are not
Speaker 2: choosing to eat, but because of the food that in
Speaker 2: part is put in front of them. The first comprehensive
Speaker 2: survey of nutrition in age care undertaken in Australia found
Speaker 2: that forty percent of residents were malnourished, including six percent
Speaker 2: who were severely malnourished. Severely malnourished means starving. The study,
Speaker 2: published in the journal Healthcare, said this was likely underplaying
Speaker 2: the extent of malnutrition, so these numbers are a best
Speaker 2: case scenario forty percent, given that it did not include
Speaker 2: nursing home rescus cidence with dementia because of issues of consent.
Speaker 2: Other studies have shown that almost sixty percent of dementia
Speaker 2: residents in aged care are at risk of malnutrition.
Speaker 1: This is a disgrace.
Speaker 2: I do not understand in the web of complicated rules
Speaker 2: around who gets to have an aged care facility, who
Speaker 2: gets to set one up, and the extraordinary fees and
Speaker 2: charges that mean that one of the reasons why Australians
Speaker 2: want to buy a home is that one day they
Speaker 2: will be able to sell the home to pay for
Speaker 2: things like aged care. You work your whole life to
Speaker 2: pay the house off and then you cash in the
Speaker 2: house to make sure you're as comforted and cared for
Speaker 2: for as long as possible. But to see that there
Speaker 2: are forty percent of people who are in aged care
Speaker 2: tonight and that's the low number that they are malnourished
Speaker 2: or in some cases, depending on how severe mental conditions
Speaker 2: may well end up being, it could be way worse
Speaker 2: than that. This is a disgrace. It is a disgrace
Speaker 2: that this was not the lead news story today. It
Speaker 2: is a disgrace that it will not be on a
Speaker 2: front page anywhere tomorrow. It is a disgrace that the
Speaker 2: Prime Minister is able to give a press conference today
Speaker 2: and nobody asks about it.
Speaker 1: It is a disgrace.
Speaker 2: That when the Prime Minister plans to reshuffle, there will
Speaker 2: be no conversation about changing the age care minister. This
Speaker 2: is not acceptable now. I don't care what numbers the
Speaker 2: government will put out to say, well, this is slightly
Speaker 2: better than it used to be.
Speaker 1: It's unacceptable, it's not on it's not okay. It's despicable. Now.
Speaker 2: If people choose not to eat the meal in front
Speaker 2: of them, that's their right. But if the meal in
Speaker 2: front of them is not good enough to give them
Speaker 2: the nutrients to be able to stay alive or to
Speaker 2: have a better quality of life, while you can have
Speaker 2: that quality of life, this is a red line.
Speaker 1: This is an absolute scandal.
Speaker 2: I do not understand how we do not have a
Speaker 2: system that inspects these homes that they are put on
Speaker 2: the shortest leash possible, that if their people inside them
Speaker 2: are malnourished, that they are able to continue on with
Speaker 2: their businesses.
Speaker 1: It is not acceptable.
Speaker 2: The organizations must be fined, The organizations must be shut down.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: There is an awful lot of money in aged care,
Speaker 2: which means there will always be somebody else that will open.
Speaker 1: Up a new facility. But this is not accept now.
Speaker 2: We in this country are generous with the tax that
Speaker 2: we pay to our government because we know that there
Speaker 2: are people that are less fortunate than us. That's why
Speaker 2: we have a thing called the social safety net. And
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter where you sit on the spectrum from
Speaker 2: the right to the left or anywhere else in between.
Speaker 1: We all believe that when.
Speaker 2: Somebody is in the darkest days of their life, that
Speaker 2: something should be able to help them to get back
Speaker 2: into the system, to be able to go and work
Speaker 2: and provide for themselves and for their families. When it
Speaker 2: comes to things like disabilities that sometimes mean that the
Speaker 2: type of work you can do is limited. We are
Speaker 2: completely okay with a system where substantial amounts of federal
Speaker 2: funding go to make sure that that person has a
Speaker 2: quality of life. As a taxpayer, I have no problem
Speaker 2: with state or federal government money being spent in the
Speaker 2: age care facilities to make sure that the people in
Speaker 2: them are taken care of. And if we need to
Speaker 2: double the amount of money to make sure that the
Speaker 2: food is up to standard, fine by me. And let's
Speaker 2: not pretend that this government doesn't have the money to
Speaker 2: fix this problem tomorrow, because of course, as we've shown you,
Speaker 2: the Prime Minister is going to spend four hundred million dollars,
Speaker 2: in fact, four hundred and fifty million dollars on not one,
Speaker 2: but two brand new planes for himself and his mate,
Speaker 2: the Governor General. Oh but those were ordered by the
Speaker 2: previous government. Well, they weren't canceled by this one. That's
Speaker 2: what they spent four hundred and fifty on. Let me
Speaker 2: get you to close to a billion. There was a referendum.
Speaker 2: It cost how much four hundred and fifty million dollars?
Speaker 2: All right, Now we're at nine hundred million dollars that
Speaker 2: could be spent right now to make sure that the
Speaker 2: forty percent of people who are malnourished in age care
Speaker 2: will not be so.
Speaker 1: Into the future.
Speaker 2: The government is going to spend six hundred million dollars
Speaker 2: helping to set up a rugby league team in Papua
Speaker 2: New Guinea and on top of all of that, they're
Speaker 2: future made in Australia plans all the rest of it.
Speaker 1: That's twenty two and a.
Speaker 2: Bit billion dollars which is swirling around and a lot
Speaker 2: of people are clipping the ticket along the way. My
Speaker 2: point is this, not every single dollar that the government
Speaker 2: gets can be spent on the one thing that we
Speaker 2: would all love it to be spent on.
Speaker 1: So yes, it must be spread. But in the same
Speaker 1: way that.
Speaker 2: They can put off budget three hundred b four billion
Speaker 2: dollars for the submarines, which are important for us to
Speaker 2: be there when it comes to ucas, perhaps off budget
Speaker 2: is where they can put the money so they don't.
Speaker 1: Have to worry about it affecting the surplus. It's all
Speaker 1: borrowed money anyway.
Speaker 2: To make sure that the people who have made this
Speaker 2: country what it is, and I mean that the people
Speaker 2: who have made this country what it is, and you're
Speaker 2: going to interpret that in any way, shape or form.
Speaker 2: The people who were born here, the people who've come here,
Speaker 2: the people who have worked their backsides off, the people
Speaker 2: who have been parents, the people who have cared for
Speaker 2: other people's children, the people who have worked in the
Speaker 2: emergency services, the people who may well themselves at another
Speaker 2: point in time.
Speaker 1: Been nurses in things like age care facilities.
Speaker 2: When they go into an age care facility, the food's
Speaker 2: got to be up to stand it.
Speaker 1: And it's all well and good for the Prime Minister to.
Speaker 2: Stand there again and say, well, we've got you know,
Speaker 2: this famous chef and her foundation and they're going to
Speaker 2: improve it. Well, guess what he's been around for two
Speaker 2: years and it's not good enough. What is equally not
Speaker 2: good enough is this story in a day of big
Speaker 2: news that this is probably the first time you're hearing
Speaker 2: about it. Every family in Australia, regardless of your political affiliation,
Speaker 2: has an interest in this system being fixed, doing better.
Speaker 2: Scandal that four out of ten people in aged care
Speaker 2: are malnourished.
Speaker 1: It's a disgrace.
Speaker 2: I call on the opposition to make this the political
Speaker 2: issue that it should be. I call on the government
Speaker 2: to respond to it as fast as possible, and I
Speaker 2: call on the people with access to a television camera
Speaker 2: a microphone or a computer to write an.
Speaker 1: Article to talk about it.
Speaker 2: But of course today was a day where the Prime
Speaker 2: Minister wasn't asked about this. Instead he was shuffling deadwood
Speaker 2: out the door. Linda Burnie, Brendan O'Connor, they're gone. New
Speaker 2: brooms will of course replace them in the Parliament. We
Speaker 2: previewed this last night. But what about the stones on
Speaker 2: the Prime Minister, This bloke who while talking about a
Speaker 2: day should be about other people's careers. He's got to
Speaker 2: pat himself on the back for now. Remember this is
Speaker 2: a bloke who will not sack a minister. Why because
Speaker 2: he wanted to be able to say this, even if,
Speaker 2: like Katie Gallaher they lie, or like Claire O'Neal or
Speaker 2: Andrew Giles they are deeply incompetent, all of them stay
Speaker 2: so he can say this.
Speaker 3: My government has always been focused on tackling the challenges
Speaker 3: of the here and now in a way that builds
Speaker 3: for the long term, helping people with cost of living
Speaker 3: pressures while investing in making our future here in Australia.
Speaker 3: As the theme of the last budget, but it's a
Speaker 3: theme of the last two and a bit years as well.
Speaker 3: We do this as a united team, a true cabinet government.
Speaker 1: What garbage, what absolute garbage.
Speaker 2: People are frightened on so many different issues. You know,
Speaker 2: we haven't had the sacond minister for two and a
Speaker 2: half years. Even if they're caught lying to the Parliament
Speaker 2: like Katie Gallaher, even if they deliberately take decisions that
Speaker 2: threaten community safety, that result in people being amongst the
Speaker 2: community who end up being accused of horrific crimes like
Speaker 2: the bashing that happened to Western Australia. Oh you forget it,
Speaker 2: We're amazing. And of course the media, yes, sir.
Speaker 1: Write it all down again.
Speaker 2: I'm no psychologists, but I've got to say I can
Speaker 2: read political body language. I'm not entirely sure Linda Bernie
Speaker 2: was actually planning on quitting anytime soon. I know there
Speaker 2: was some suggestion, oh she might and she might become
Speaker 2: the Governor General, but she didn't quite look like a
Speaker 2: person today who was sort of ready for the announcement.
Speaker 1: Now, of course, all of the.
Speaker 2: Reason why this is taking place is because they want
Speaker 2: the opportunity to push them people out of the way,
Speaker 2: to change some things when it comes to the ministry
Speaker 2: and when it comes to her as Indigenous Affairs Minister.
Speaker 1: Well, we know what heir record has been.
Speaker 2: But those who are the hardcore viewers of this program
Speaker 2: know that I always said Linda Burney would be a
Speaker 2: bus way back when I was a reporter. And then
Speaker 2: he said wils Parlam and I saw her performance. Then
Speaker 2: I knew what was coming and it exactly came to be. Well,
Speaker 2: here she is going out the side door. People might
Speaker 2: think it is a defeat, there are some very good
Speaker 2: things that came out of the referendum.
Speaker 3: I am proud of.
Speaker 2: The Prime Minister and his leadership. I'm proud of First
Speaker 2: Nations people, and I'm proud to have.
Speaker 4: Been part of it.
Speaker 1: Sixty percent of the country disagreed with you. Oh no,
Speaker 1: it's not a loss like.
Speaker 2: This upside down garbage world that these people live in.
Speaker 2: And then they turn around and say that you're the
Speaker 2: peddler of misinformation. You're the one who doesn't tell the truth.
Speaker 2: You're the one who's just making stuff up. It was
Speaker 2: a win, please. They turned sixty forty yes into sixty
Speaker 2: forty no. They made the decision to send it through
Speaker 2: to the referendum instead of just putting it in place
Speaker 2: in their first act as a government and then yes,
Speaker 2: it wouldn't have been in the constitution, but we'd be
Speaker 2: able to see for a few years whether it worked
Speaker 2: or not. Then we could have the debate. I don't know,
Speaker 2: but they knew better. Seriously, Now, of course, the people
Speaker 2: who should be moved on in the upcoming reshuffle, I
Speaker 2: repeat again clueless Clare O'Neill.
Speaker 1: And Andrew Giles. They both should go. But will they
Speaker 1: go or not? Well we'll all find out together.
Speaker 2: But of course the Prime Minister, even when he's losing,
Speaker 2: still is a little bit like that night in the
Speaker 2: Holy Grail where he's turning around and sorry, meeting a
Speaker 2: life I think it was, wasn't it. Yeah, anyway one
Speaker 2: of the monty pythons. Doesn't matter how many of his
Speaker 2: limbs get cut off, he is still doing amazing.
Speaker 1: It was the Holy Grail. Good thank you.
Speaker 2: Here's what the opposition thinks about this absurd situation that
Speaker 2: we're going to get right now, where people who are
Speaker 2: bad at their job, like say an age care minister
Speaker 2: where forty percent of the people that are in age
Speaker 2: care are suffering from malnutrition, will probably.
Speaker 1: Keep their job.
Speaker 2: Losers like those two they might get moved to the side.
Speaker 2: But they'll be winners anyway.
Speaker 5: But I still can't believe that a Prime Minister of
Speaker 5: this country can walk up to a microphone and say
Speaker 5: it's not up to them who goes into the ministry.
Speaker 5: It will be decided by factions and union bosses. It's
Speaker 5: just incredible. The Prime Minister of Australia can't decide who's
Speaker 5: going to be in his own ministry. And in terms
Speaker 5: of who should be part of it, well, I've had
Speaker 5: an option.
Speaker 1: I'd put them all.
Speaker 2: I kept it into the lot, I'd put into the
Speaker 2: College government.
Speaker 5: Well but I'll tell you what if Andrew jil survives,
Speaker 5: that is that is a.
Speaker 2: Miracle because these people, remember they're in the bubble, inside
Speaker 2: the bubble, inside the bubble, inside the bubble police, by
Speaker 2: the media bubble.
Speaker 1: That you get how it works. It's all just a
Speaker 1: giant club.
Speaker 2: And the Prime Minister, of course, along with every other MP,
Speaker 2: got to pay rise their third since the Labor Party
Speaker 2: came to power. You notice that even the opposition didn't
Speaker 2: really fight this one. They don't say it because they
Speaker 2: get the extra money too. Right, PM now on six
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars. Oh but he really cares about cost
Speaker 2: of living. He's the one changing everybody's life. But pick
Speaker 2: it in to see every to see here that everything
Speaker 2: costs more. We talk about it all the time, and
Speaker 2: cost of living. There's a couple of wild, wild stories
Speaker 2: in the past couple of days. The Australians are having
Speaker 2: fewer children, that of course ends up having greater consequences
Speaker 2: for the way that everything gets funded because you want
Speaker 2: more people to pay for the Ponzi scheme. That is
Speaker 2: at times the way the Australian government works, which means
Speaker 2: if we don't have enough kids, you bring in more immigration.
Speaker 1: Great, they're over eighteen and the hopefully vote for you.
Speaker 2: You don't have to even pay for kids to go
Speaker 2: to school. But apparently one of the reasons they're not
Speaker 2: doing it is because of cost of living. And then,
Speaker 2: forgive me to all of the animal lovers watching right now,
Speaker 2: but it's a point that I'll just quickly make and
Speaker 2: then move on, which is that we hear a story
Speaker 2: today that people are now so concerned about cost of
Speaker 2: living that when it comes to vet bills, they are
Speaker 2: not making the choices to keep some of the animals
Speaker 2: alive because it's so damn expensive, and I get it,
Speaker 2: talking about animals is sort of no go zone for people.
Speaker 2: But that is an extraordinary thing that we're reading about
Speaker 2: right now. And then there's another piece of information which
Speaker 2: is going to make everything worse. But again you probably
Speaker 2: didn't hear about it today because you know, not as
Speaker 2: important as the other stuff that we focus on in
Speaker 2: the media most of the time. The Australian dollar is
Speaker 2: not doing well at the moment. Now, yes, that's a
Speaker 2: punish for people that are planning to go overseas or
Speaker 2: anyone who's currently rolling around Paris, you know, wanting to
Speaker 2: buy things before they come home. But there's something a
Speaker 2: little more consequential here about the Australian dollar starting to
Speaker 2: go down. It'll make everything that we import into the country,
Speaker 2: that we sell in a shop more expensive because it
Speaker 2: still costs ten dollars to buy that thing that's made
Speaker 2: in China. But the Australian dollar is not worth one
Speaker 2: US dollar really ever is. But whenever it goes lower
Speaker 2: and lower and lower, it means the more Australian dollars
Speaker 2: you need to match the ten dollars item that needs
Speaker 2: to be purchased from overseas.
Speaker 1: In fact, have a look at the Australian dollar.
Speaker 2: Nothing to see here. This government's amazing when it comes
Speaker 2: to economic management. In March twenty two it was seventy
Speaker 2: four US cents. It's our sixty five US cents. Oh,
Speaker 2: it's only ten cents.
Speaker 1: Who cares for?
Speaker 2: Think about what ten percent difference in the extra amount
Speaker 2: of money that people need to pay on the global
Speaker 2: market to end up buying the things that they bring
Speaker 2: into the country to sell in the country, which means
Speaker 2: if it costs some more to bring things into the country,
Speaker 2: it costs you more money to buy them.
Speaker 1: If it costs you more.
Speaker 2: Money to buy them, guess what happens inflation, Because there's
Speaker 2: all of the little things in the basket of goods
Speaker 2: that will eventually end up getting caught up in the
Speaker 2: stuff that we not just make here, but the stuff
Speaker 2: that we import from overseas, and that of course means
Speaker 2: a greater chance.
Speaker 1: Of interest rate rises.
Speaker 2: As we've told you, when it comes to interest rate rises,
Speaker 2: that affects two thirds of the country, a third that's
Speaker 2: trying to pay off its house and the people who
Speaker 2: are renting where presumably somebody is trying to pay off
Speaker 2: that house as well.
Speaker 1: I get it. It's good for people who.
Speaker 2: Got termed deposits, and I understand the yin and yang
Speaker 2: of it, but the reality is that I've shown you
Speaker 2: this week eight hundred thousand further homes will be put
Speaker 2: into mortgage stress, meaning there is more money that is
Speaker 2: going to paying for your house than you can actually afford.
Speaker 2: This is on top of the minions that are already
Speaker 2: in that situation. Ob at the government, we haven't sacked
Speaker 2: any ministers, please now again, I wanted to get all
Speaker 2: that out of the way before I talked about the
Speaker 2: other stuff that is the big global news today, which
Speaker 2: was that Joe Biden gave a speech from the Oval
Speaker 2: Office where he didn't really explain why he's not going
Speaker 2: to be going on as the president of the United
Speaker 2: States after January.
Speaker 1: Of next year.
Speaker 2: And forgive me for being cruel, but I know they
Speaker 2: sort of threw the bronzer on him, and it reminded
Speaker 2: me of when Jack Nicholson played The Joker, and when
Speaker 2: the Joker was wearing the Biden levels of makeup to
Speaker 2: that he wasn't the Joker. Once you see the comparison,
Speaker 2: you will not unsee it. Every time you see Biden
Speaker 2: from now on you will think of Jack Nicholson as
Speaker 2: the joker. But forgive me for then cruel.
Speaker 1: But I've got to say.
Speaker 2: The media's response to this speech ludicrous and this did
Speaker 2: you want to hear?
Speaker 1: Ald?
Speaker 2: They said, Biden gives the speech he never wanted to
Speaker 2: and does it with passion and grace. And then everyone
Speaker 2: who's of course been pushing him out the door is
Speaker 2: now turning around and feeling bad about it. So they're
Speaker 2: pretending everything he does is amazing, just taking.
Speaker 4: A step back.
Speaker 6: This was a speech for the history books, just as
Speaker 6: when LBJ announced he wasn't going to run.
Speaker 4: But this was selfless. This was selfless on a level.
Speaker 4: I think that's important in a way.
Speaker 7: That we talk about George Washington being selfless.
Speaker 8: He asked the question, this character still matter? Well, it destinate, destinate.
Speaker 8: The kid with a starter did good. He did good.
Speaker 8: That's a good man. He fell on his sword.
Speaker 1: Two weeks ago. The bloke was at NATO telling everyone
Speaker 1: he's not going to go.
Speaker 2: Two weeks ago he was saying that the Lord Almighty
Speaker 2: was the only one that could get him out of
Speaker 2: the way. The reality was the Democrats, We're definitely going
Speaker 2: to lose with you. So knives out, bang bang, push
Speaker 2: him out of the way. Oh but now that he
Speaker 2: gets to sort of frame the way he was pushed
Speaker 2: out of the way, he's historic because he's standing. Come on, now,
Speaker 2: we know this because we watch the news every single
Speaker 2: day and we know there's a huge number of people
Speaker 2: who don't really pay that much attention. Okay, fine, they
Speaker 2: can be spun, but we're not going to be bs two.
Speaker 2: This guy has deteriorated between it before our eyes. They
Speaker 2: tried to hide it. They lied about it. As I
Speaker 2: showed you earlier in the week when he fell up
Speaker 2: the stairs. That was in the fifty ninth day of
Speaker 2: his presidency. It wasn't even three months into it, barely two.
Speaker 2: So it was obvious from that point in time there
Speaker 2: was a problem. And we've watched the problem get worse
Speaker 2: all the way through. Oh no, but that's cheap fakes
Speaker 2: and those are lies, and that's it's not true, and
Speaker 2: that's right wing propaganda. And then of course they all
Speaker 2: noticed because the deboat, the debate exposed it. So then
Speaker 2: they turned around and rather than saying, oh, well, we're
Speaker 2: kind of you know, got a we made our bed,
Speaker 2: got a line and I don't know. We'll just see
Speaker 2: here's your options. You can go and be called a hero,
Speaker 2: or we'll use the twenty fifth Amendment. And that's the
Speaker 2: way you go anyway. Just like at the start of
Speaker 2: the debate, when you knew something's wrong, this was the
Speaker 2: start of his speech. Now, like anything on TV, and
Speaker 2: when you're on this side of the camera, it's five four,
Speaker 2: three to one, go.
Speaker 9: My follow Americans.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's a problem.
Speaker 2: If I started the show each and every night like that,
Speaker 2: you'd go, hang up, well, what's going on? Paul. Now,
Speaker 2: if they wanted to, they could have taped this, but
Speaker 2: they didn't. Instead, you know, the satellite delay. That's in
Speaker 2: his brain and he's still the president for the next
Speaker 2: six months. But of course, the way he was able
Speaker 2: to pretend that this was all his choice, all his
Speaker 2: decision was in this bit of the speech.
Speaker 9: I believe I reckon as president, my leadership in the world.
Speaker 9: I visioned for America's future. All merried it a second term,
Speaker 9: but nothing, nothing can come in the way of saving
Speaker 9: our democracy. That includes personal ambition. So I've decided the
Speaker 9: best way forward is the past, the torch for a
Speaker 9: new generation.
Speaker 2: I'm also might deserve a second term. But please that
Speaker 2: again is the guy who doesn't want to go. You
Speaker 2: can see that the fingernail marks on the resolute desk.
Speaker 1: But he's of course going to be called one for
Speaker 1: the ages. And I love that man. And what an
Speaker 1: incredible speech and poise and delivery and history. And then
Speaker 1: he just started telling lies.
Speaker 9: Border crossings are lower today than when the previous administration
Speaker 9: left office.
Speaker 2: That's not the point, mister president. The point is that
Speaker 2: since you became the president, ten million people have crossed
Speaker 2: into the country illegally. Those are the facts that Congress
Speaker 2: are putting before. It's not made up by me. Ten
Speaker 2: million people have illegally entered and are in the United
Speaker 2: States because of the way that Kamala Harris and Joe
Speaker 2: Biden have managed the border. And by the way, on
Speaker 2: all of that, there is a lot of garbage that
Speaker 2: apparently Kamala Harris wasn't really in charge of the border stuff. Okay,
Speaker 2: one last time, twenty twenty, here's the footage of the
Speaker 2: exact moment when the President says Kamala Harris is going
Speaker 2: to be the one who's going to be in charge
Speaker 2: of working out what's going on when it comes to
Speaker 2: the border. This was the reporting from the left wing
Speaker 2: Associated Press at the time. Their headline Biden taps VP
Speaker 2: Harris to lead response to border challenges. You read the
Speaker 2: text of that story. She was placed in charge of
Speaker 2: the border. But now suddenly because Kamala Harris is the
Speaker 2: new Oprah, she's president Beyonce, we now have to all
Speaker 2: pretend that theres nothing to see here. Jedo mindtrick meant
Speaker 2: in black very quick, mind wipe, mind wipe. And the
Speaker 2: media is now pretending on no, no, that was never actually
Speaker 2: her job, despite the fact we've have the footage and
Speaker 2: the announcements and the media reporting at the time that
Speaker 2: that was her job, and her failure has resulted in
Speaker 2: ten million people crossing the border into the United States,
Speaker 2: and she won't be able to escape that, regardless of
Speaker 2: how few questions she will actually get about it.
Speaker 1: But back to Joe, Sadly, he's still there for the
Speaker 1: next six months. Now.
Speaker 2: This is a blog who is the limest of lime ducks,
Speaker 2: Like even lime ducks think that this blog is a
Speaker 2: lime duck. I was going to say something else, but
Speaker 2: I want to keep him a job. This is what
Speaker 2: he said about his plan for the next six months.
Speaker 9: Over the next six months, I'll be focused on doing
Speaker 9: my job as president. That means I'll continue to lower
Speaker 9: costs for hard working families, grow our economy. I'll keep
Speaker 9: defending our personal freedoms, on our civil rights, from the
Speaker 9: right to vote to the right to choose. I'll keep
Speaker 9: calling out hating extremism. Make it clear there is no place,
Speaker 9: no place in America or political violence or any violence
Speaker 9: ever period. I'm going to keep keep speaking out to
Speaker 9: protect our kids from gun violence. Our planning from climate
Speaker 9: crisis is the existential threat, and i will keep fighting
Speaker 9: my from our cancer moonshot so we can end cancer
Speaker 9: as we know it. Because we can do it. I'm
Speaker 9: going to call for Supreme Court reform because this is
Speaker 9: critical to our democracy. Supreme Court reform.
Speaker 1: So I'm a lame duck.
Speaker 2: I don't have control of Parliament because the Republicans are
Speaker 2: the ones in charge downstairs and the Democrats are the
Speaker 2: ones in charge upstairs. But apparently in the next six
Speaker 2: months he will cure cancer, fix.
Speaker 1: The Middle East.
Speaker 2: He will also deal with America's gun problems. He's also
Speaker 2: going to rig the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: All of that. Apparently he can.
Speaker 2: Do so this guy isn't just out to see. He's
Speaker 2: delusional and out to see. It's pathetic the performance. But
Speaker 2: because now we're all just being told by everyone that
Speaker 2: the history books will say Joe wasn't pushed, Joe walked
Speaker 2: away himself. We're watching the history being rewritten before our
Speaker 2: very eyes, and it's ridiculous. It was a terrible performance today. Now,
Speaker 2: as a human being to another human being, you don't
Speaker 2: want to see people being embarrassed. You don't want to
Speaker 2: see people fall apart. But on the behalf of the
Speaker 2: Western world, of which he is allegedly the most bat well,
Speaker 2: he is the most powerful person of we need him
Speaker 2: to be stronger. We need the American president to be stronger,
Speaker 2: staring down Russia, China, you name it, that blokes steering
Speaker 2: into space. Oh yeah, And one other little bit of
Speaker 2: detail here about all of those people who used.
Speaker 1: To say, of course, josephs Fit is a fiddle and
Speaker 1: sharpest attack.
Speaker 2: Remember when the special counsel that was investigating Biden keeping
Speaker 2: top secret documents bragging about them to the ghostwriter.
Speaker 1: Of his book.
Speaker 2: Well back then, of course, he was referred to as
Speaker 2: a sympathetic and well meaning elderly man and lefties all
Speaker 2: went absolutely crazy, how offensive, not acceptable? Well, people have
Speaker 2: wanted to see the full transcript as to exactly what
Speaker 2: happened in the interview that led to the conclusion by
Speaker 2: the special prosecutor or the Special Council.
Speaker 1: Well, guess what happened today? They found the documents. They
Speaker 1: fat magically after he's no longer going to be.
Speaker 2: A political problem for the Democrats, the Department of Justice
Speaker 2: magically found the transcripts of the interview that where the
Speaker 2: bloke ended up concluding.
Speaker 1: That he's out the lunch.
Speaker 2: The Justice Department has told a federal judge last Monday
Speaker 2: that it has located the transcripts of previously deny it
Speaker 2: previously denied having a president Joe Biden's talks with the
Speaker 2: biographer that planned that sorry played a role in the
Speaker 2: recent league can play a sorry completed criminal investigation. Hard
Speaker 2: to regard somebody else about cognitive climb when you can't read,
Speaker 2: but I don't know my glasses anyway, you get my point,
Speaker 2: As it's written by a national review. However, the Justice
Speaker 2: Department finds transcripts of biden interviews with a ghostwriter that it.
Speaker 1: Insisted it did not exist. Oh, stuffness here.
Speaker 2: It's not like what they had all that Ammo just
Speaker 2: in case to push you out.
Speaker 1: So forgive me.
Speaker 2: We are living the history and we will get to
Speaker 2: tell the people that will read about it in the
Speaker 2: history books from tomorrow on.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden didn't give up. He was pushed. Now.
Speaker 2: Latest polling when it comes to the Harris Trump race
Speaker 2: right now today, of course, Donald Trump gave a two
Speaker 2: hour rally. I think he's got to tighten them a
Speaker 2: little because Kamala Harris on he spoke for about twenty minutes. Meaning,
Speaker 2: of course, as long as she just pops up in waves,
Speaker 2: she will not be able to be exposed for whom
Speaker 2: and what she is. Latest polling nationally CNN Trump forty nine,
Speaker 2: Harris forty six, Morning Console Poll. This is a very
Speaker 2: left leaning poll. Trump forty seven, Harris forty five. The
Speaker 2: Router's Pole Harris forty four, Trump forty two. As you know,
Speaker 2: it's not just a two horse race, it's a fiveway race.
Speaker 2: So what happens when you start looking at a fiveway race,
Speaker 2: is leading by three, it's a tie, or Trump is
Speaker 2: leading by two.
Speaker 1: But then again that doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: Let's have a look at the Swing States the Swing
Speaker 2: states right now. In Pennsylvania, Trump is still winning. In Georgia,
Speaker 2: Trump is still winning another Poland Georgia, Trump is winning
Speaker 2: by even more. In Arizona, Trump is still winning by
Speaker 2: a massive margin. In Michigan, Trump is still winning. In Pennsylvania,
Speaker 2: Trump is still winning, and in Wisconsin it's pretty tight.
Speaker 2: But after another week of talking about all of this
Speaker 2: and all of the detail, let's show something fun. Remember
Speaker 2: the old show that dukes are hazard Well. The way
Speaker 2: the internet works now is that people can do anything,
Speaker 2: including making it. Like all the figures of American politics
Speaker 2: star in that show.
Speaker 1: Just a good over never meaning not harm means old.
Speaker 1: You've all man in trouble with the law. Such a
Speaker 1: day they.
Speaker 3: Was ball straightening, the curds.
Speaker 1: Landing, the hull Sunday, the blunt but the law. Ever,
Speaker 1: wos on this more?
Speaker 4: Just a good old boss.
Speaker 2: They wouldn't change in their coons, fatting the system, lack
Speaker 2: of two modern day robin hood?
Speaker 1: How good is Hillary?
Speaker 3: Is Boss Hogg?
Speaker 1: Quick break back?
Speaker 2: More or loss to talk about Annalys Nielsen from the
Speaker 2: States to wrap up another massive week there.
Speaker 1: But let's talk about Australia, the greatest country in the world.
Speaker 1: Next here on Paul Murray Life, where we're going to
Speaker 1: go No Sooks, No Lefties this Thursday night. Thanks for
Speaker 1: watching No Sooks, No Lefties.
Speaker 2: And I'm sure that Michael Craiger was happy to sit
Speaker 2: back and have a look at The Dukes a Hazard.
Speaker 2: I tried to when I was showing people that today,
Speaker 2: They're like, what's this show? But you know, people of
Speaker 2: a certain age, and that's whom we are. We remember
Speaker 2: the show, and I remember Daisy Duke in every way,
Speaker 2: shape or form. Freyer Leitch, do you remember the Well,
Speaker 2: you wouldn't remember. Have you been taught The Dukes of
Speaker 2: Hazard the TV show? That's my point. A lot of
Speaker 2: people like you around the office today. Anyway, it was
Speaker 2: a great show. Anyway, the video is still funny. So
Speaker 2: of course Freyer is with the Mensis Research Organization. Let's
Speaker 2: get to what is my consistent question this week that
Speaker 2: I think people are frightened about a rate rise, about
Speaker 2: the next one that's coming, when good people like Warren
Speaker 2: Hogan talk about three of them coming. When I was
Speaker 2: on holidays, this was the conversation, right, apart from Trump
Speaker 2: getting shot and.
Speaker 1: All the rest of it.
Speaker 2: Right, do you agree that if there's an interest rate rise, Freyer,
Speaker 2: it's going to cause massive problems for the Prime Minister.
Speaker 2: Now it's not going to be one terming all the
Speaker 2: rest of it, but it is going to be right
Speaker 2: up there with losing the voice as a huge problem
Speaker 2: people are going.
Speaker 6: To have from a political perspective. I mean, he got
Speaker 6: into government on two key promises. One reduced household electricity
Speaker 6: prices by two hundred and seventy five dollars exactly, and
Speaker 6: the second one was reduced people's mortgages. Now, the average
Speaker 6: household with an average mortgage of seven hundred and fifty
Speaker 6: K is currently thirty five thousand dollars worse off under
Speaker 6: this government. If we have another rate rise, that will
Speaker 6: only push up that mortgage stress even further. And it
Speaker 6: also has a lot of flow on effects. It can
Speaker 6: actually well and we were talking about this before we
Speaker 6: went on air. I'm a first home buyer at the moment,
Speaker 6: I'm getting married in December and it is so difficult.
Speaker 6: So your borrowing capacity as interest rates increase is radically reduced.
Speaker 6: So it also forces more people into the rental market.
Speaker 6: Now rental vacancy rates are running at one point two
Speaker 6: percent half of what they were pre COVID under the
Speaker 6: last ten years of liberal government. If we have even
Speaker 6: further interest rate rises, that is only going to put
Speaker 6: more pressure on the rental market and make it even
Speaker 6: more difficult to rent. So it's just this compounding problem.
Speaker 6: And while that's all happening, we're being hit with bracket
Speaker 6: creeping twenty percent more income to exist. Real wages are
Speaker 6: declining nine percent.
Speaker 4: It's just like, what's going on?
Speaker 6: Is there any hope?
Speaker 2: He came armed with the numbers that I like, Michael,
Speaker 2: I remember our conversations in the dying days of the
Speaker 2: previous government that if nothing else, one of the things
Speaker 2: they should have said while going out the door is
Speaker 2: watch these guys on interest rates. Now, look, that may
Speaker 2: well have happened somewhere, but this is a this is
Speaker 2: going to be a massive political issue if they go up,
Speaker 2: what do you reckon?
Speaker 7: So made, of course, you've got to remember that Alba
Speaker 7: has a plan to fix the cost of living crisis.
Speaker 7: He has a plan. There's a cost of living crisis.
Speaker 7: He said a thousand times during the camp. He has
Speaker 7: a plan to fix it. It's just that we're still
Speaker 7: in our patients has been tested may because we're still waiting.
Speaker 7: Look at it this way, Warren Hogan said, and he's
Speaker 7: been the most accurate of the commentators. He said, rates
Speaker 7: will increase three times this year. Will they waant? I mean,
Speaker 7: you can't have point seven three times point twenty five
Speaker 7: if that's what he's talking about. You can't have that
Speaker 7: between now and December. The Albanezy government they'll lose every seas.
Speaker 7: But there could be one, possibly two, and it all
Speaker 7: depends what the Gunian inflation number is, which I think
Speaker 7: comes out in next week. But look at this way.
Speaker 7: In two thousand and seven, inflation was three percent. Just
Speaker 7: before the election, they increased integrates to six point seventy five.
Speaker 7: Inflations are now four percent. On the same basis interest rates.
Speaker 7: If the Reserve Bank were following the same logic, they'd
Speaker 7: have interest rates somewhere between eight and nine percent. They're
Speaker 7: at four point three five. So the Reserve Bank know
Speaker 7: that bullet knows that when you've got a gap between
Speaker 7: inflation and the cash rate of point three five, which
Speaker 7: is what is it at the minute, what it is
Speaker 7: at the minute, that was five point seven five percent
Speaker 7: as a gap in two thousand and seven, That's why rates.
Speaker 7: You know, if you want to if you want to
Speaker 7: affect inflation on the downward side, you have to increase
Speaker 7: rates unless that Gurne number comes off dramatically from the
Speaker 7: four percent. And what does it mean for Albow. It'll
Speaker 7: mean that he was seen to be by the electorate
Speaker 7: as an absolute and utter fraud. His plan was just
Speaker 7: his photo on the front of an empty brasure made.
Speaker 7: This guy had no plan and was utterly fraudulent in
Speaker 7: what he told the electric Well.
Speaker 2: He's already underwater in his popularity numbers. They will become
Speaker 2: dramatically worse. We don't wish for the economy to get
Speaker 2: worse because of political outcomes, but the reality is if
Speaker 2: it does, that is what is going to happen. Or
Speaker 2: reshuffle time here, dead wood goes out of the way.
Speaker 2: I've got to say, hyfray, I don't care. Like I've
Speaker 2: watched this long enough and that this is this sort
Speaker 2: of campra thing where they think that a government somehow
Speaker 2: is rejuvenated because this person moves over.
Speaker 1: No none, no, like this is one of that nothing will.
Speaker 2: Change regardless of whether they get rid of the bad
Speaker 2: ones or they move around the good ones.
Speaker 1: What do you reckon.
Speaker 6: I think you're spot on, and I think it's going
Speaker 6: to take a bit more than a cheeky reshuffle to
Speaker 6: make people forget the last two years of chaotic and
Speaker 6: clueless labor government. So I mean, it would be a
Speaker 6: miracle if this did anything to turn things around for
Speaker 6: Albert well.
Speaker 2: And also, you know, unless there's a true accountability like
Speaker 2: what I was mentioning before Michael about the age care stuff. Right,
Speaker 2: if four out of ten people are nownourished, then that
Speaker 2: minister goes, oh, but it's slightly better than it was
Speaker 2: two years. No, not good enough, Not okay, but because
Speaker 2: but because you've got a prime minister who won't sack
Speaker 2: people who he should be sacking, let alone holding people accountable.
Speaker 2: So we can send up at press conferences today and
Speaker 2: say we're great because.
Speaker 1: We haven't got rid of people. Then everything only either
Speaker 1: stays the same or gets worse and it really annoys people.
Speaker 7: Well, my guest mate is he just can't sack Giles, right,
Speaker 7: Giles is a personal friend and a factional ally. Giles
Speaker 7: will be saying to Alban easy mate, forevermore. I'll be
Speaker 7: the trivial pursuit question who was the only minister sacked
Speaker 7: during the first term of the Alban Eazy government. Me
Speaker 7: your best friend. So if he's going to if he's
Speaker 7: going to sack people, he's going to sack two or three?
Speaker 7: Is he going to sack two or three? Well, is
Speaker 7: he a sack Bowen? No, he should, but he's not gay.
Speaker 7: Is he going to sack Claire and Neil?
Speaker 6: Know?
Speaker 7: So I suspect you don't know. But I suspect he'll
Speaker 7: just shift Giles rather than sack him, because he can't
Speaker 7: just sack one one minister mate, that would be Albanez.
Speaker 7: He would never never live that down, and Giles would
Speaker 7: never let him live it down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I reckon immigration goes into home affairs, Home affairs
Speaker 2: will change and he'll stay as the migration minister or
Speaker 2: a multicultural minister. Right now, let's talk about what happened
Speaker 2: in the DC today. And I'm not talking about the
Speaker 2: speech of Benjamin then, but some of the wild protesting
Speaker 2: right to actually see at the train station that people
Speaker 2: go to get.
Speaker 1: To Washington, d C.
Speaker 2: Hamas is coming is a frightening thing to see. That's
Speaker 2: not about the people in Palestine, that's not about the innocence.
Speaker 2: That's about hamas is coming, all right, think of that
Speaker 2: as isis, think of that as our all the rest
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: Yet, of course, obviously the President is making the little
Speaker 2: speech that he did today, but you'd think there'd be
Speaker 2: some sort of statement turning around saying no it isn't,
Speaker 2: No they're not. But nothing will really be said about
Speaker 2: this and it'll just be peaceful protests.
Speaker 7: Why not, Michael, mate, it's been discussing what happened in
Speaker 7: America today, But look at the Democratic Party, right, they
Speaker 7: have a hard left component right, a Jewish hating, hard
Speaker 7: left extremist fringe to the Democratic Party in America who
Speaker 7: are very antie Israel. The fact that seventy of them
Speaker 7: didn't turn up to hear the Prime Minister Israel speech
Speaker 7: today is disgusting. He's a leader of an American ally
Speaker 7: put it in the context of the vice presidential pick
Speaker 7: and with that left wing right. And Harris of course
Speaker 7: is in part of the mad left. As we know,
Speaker 7: she was voted in nineteen as the most extreme left
Speaker 7: wing senator in the US Senate to the left of
Speaker 7: Bernie Sanders, which will come out in due course. But
Speaker 7: look at it's mate, Harris has got all this pressure
Speaker 7: from the left to be more to be tough on
Speaker 7: in Israel. Kamala Harris's husband is Jewish. The lead candidate
Speaker 7: for the vice presidency, Mark Kelly, the Senator of Arizona.
Speaker 7: His wife is Jewish. She's a famous American Gary Gabby
Speaker 7: biggis in her own right because she survived assassination, as
Speaker 7: you know, yep. And the other one is the governor.
Speaker 7: The one who should be the candidate is Josh Shapiro,
Speaker 7: who's the governor of Pennsylvania, also Jewish. So Harris will
Speaker 7: bounder extreme pressure from the hard left not to appoint
Speaker 7: anyone with Jewish connections family connections to be her vice
Speaker 7: presidential running mate, or you'll have all those Palestinian voters
Speaker 7: in Michigan who the Democrats are scared of not turn
Speaker 7: out to vote for it, and they can't afford to
Speaker 7: lose Michigan. This will be a really fascinating decision to
Speaker 7: see her she picks as her vice presidential candidate mate.
Speaker 2: Not that I can give anyone advice about betting that
Speaker 2: Mark Kelly, marke Kelly. Marke Kelly would seem to be
Speaker 2: the way that she's going to go because potentially win Arizona,
Speaker 2: as Shapiro would for a Pennsylvani But we'll get to
Speaker 2: that all right.
Speaker 1: Winner and loser of the week. Who stands out for you?
Speaker 6: Winner I think is probably the CFMU, which we didn't
Speaker 6: touch on today, But there, despite their incredible links with
Speaker 6: the underworld and biky gangs and terrible practices, are still
Speaker 6: allowed to donate to the Labor Party in a lot
Speaker 6: of states.
Speaker 1: Why those allegations, they've got a code of conduct, code
Speaker 1: of conduct fine.
Speaker 6: CFM is a definite winner and a loser. As we've
Speaker 6: talked about average Australians.
Speaker 1: As always, Michael yours.
Speaker 7: Louser of the week is an eighty one year old
Speaker 7: American whose name we all know. And the winners of
Speaker 7: the winners of the winners of the week mate are
Speaker 7: the parents. The parents of the young Australian men and
Speaker 7: women who were selected in the Olympic team to go
Speaker 7: to Paris. Whether they win a medal or not, their
Speaker 7: parents should be incredibly proud of them to be picked
Speaker 7: on the Australian Olympic team.
Speaker 1: What or not?
Speaker 7: What an achievement and world under all the parents whose
Speaker 7: kids are over there in Paris representing a great country.
Speaker 1: I'm with you.
Speaker 2: And if you happen to be accidentally watching a bit
Speaker 2: of a live event, don't forget to record us, watch
Speaker 2: us on demand all get the podcast at scott News
Speaker 2: dot com.
Speaker 1: That are you each and every year day We'll still
Speaker 1: be here, the news will still be here. We know
Speaker 1: how well it can be. Thank you, guys, do appreciate it.
Speaker 2: We'll go to the States next with Analyst Nielsen to
Speaker 2: wrap up one heck of a week and that awful
Speaker 2: spruit want to see. I say it every time. I
Speaker 2: love Analyst Nielsen on and off the air. She's fantastic
Speaker 2: and she's done such a great job with it for
Speaker 2: us in the United States. She joins us now before
Speaker 2: the sun comes up in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: Lovely to see a rock star.
Speaker 2: All right, we started the day together, we end the
Speaker 2: day together on the Telly and I'm just going to
Speaker 2: give it all over to you here.
Speaker 1: Biden's speech was terrible, right, Okay, So this is the
Speaker 1: interesting thing.
Speaker 4: I'm just waking up, which is why I promise I'm
Speaker 4: not crying. I'm yawning. But the interesting thing that's reminded
Speaker 4: me and all this is that America is a country
Speaker 4: that lives in parallel universes, and election times are when
Speaker 4: they come together. Because I was scanning all the news
Speaker 4: as I woke up, and some of the pieces, I'm like,
Speaker 4: did we watch the same speech? What are you talking about?
Speaker 4: Because half of the coverage has been about the gravitas
Speaker 4: he met the moment. What a leader he's done, just
Speaker 4: such a service for democracy. Thank god we have him,
Speaker 4: and thank god we've got Kamala on the way. And
Speaker 4: then the other half of the media is saying he's
Speaker 4: had to pull out. He's not acknowledging why he's had
Speaker 4: to pull out. That speech didn't do anything to make
Speaker 4: us feel better about what we saw. And this is
Speaker 4: how this election is going to run. And we've already
Speaker 4: seen the Trump campaign lean into this saying, look, he's
Speaker 4: had to drop out. We know it's because of his age.
Speaker 4: And you've got Kamala Harris coming in. She spent the
Speaker 4: last three years pretending nothing's wrong with his age, and
Speaker 4: now we're supposed to believe that this was all done
Speaker 4: at the last minute, just because this is such a
Speaker 4: spur of the moment revelation for everyone, and this is
Speaker 4: going to hit home with people. I think more than
Speaker 4: anyone in DC's acknowledging because boss aren't stupid. They're watching
Speaker 4: all this play out, and if they're not paying attention normally,
Speaker 4: there certainly are now.
Speaker 2: But also, look, obviously we all know that there's a
Speaker 2: whole bunch of people who sort of cleaved off from
Speaker 2: the news in and around COVID, right. I think there's
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of people that are going to cleave
Speaker 2: off as well after seeing the political coverage of everything's okay,
Speaker 2: everything's fine.
Speaker 1: Wow, we're really surprised it's not.
Speaker 2: And then they've just gone straight back to pretending that
Speaker 2: we all didn't see the same thing. Again, nobody wants
Speaker 2: another human being to be embarrassed, let alone the president
Speaker 2: of the United States.
Speaker 1: But it was embarrassing.
Speaker 2: He couldn't finish what was going on, and he just
Speaker 2: should have filmed, He should have pre recorded something in
Speaker 2: the Rose Garden.
Speaker 1: Who would have cared?
Speaker 4: And just the fact it took so long for him
Speaker 4: to front a camera, just it was days of well,
Speaker 4: what's really happening? Is he really okay? Are they lying
Speaker 4: to us about this? Why is this done by Twitter?
Speaker 4: And she found us across the board, even like diehard
Speaker 4: Trump supporters when you talk to them just one on one.
Speaker 4: No one's enjoyed watching Joe Biden decline in public. Everyone
Speaker 4: seems to have a story of a relative that's been
Speaker 4: through something similar. They feel like it's been a really
Speaker 4: undignified way to treat him, and the people around him
Speaker 4: should have been doing more to protect him during all this.
Speaker 4: And I think if he just stepped back earlier and
Speaker 4: let there be a proper primary process where they could
Speaker 4: have a competitive race, where they could really let the
Speaker 4: voters decide instead of just continually saying, well, I've had
Speaker 4: fourteen million people vote for me, I'm the candidate. You
Speaker 4: didn't give them another option. So it's really if anything.
Speaker 4: I mean, at the beginning, Karmala Harris could have come
Speaker 4: out of the primaries. Maybe she was meeting the moment
Speaker 4: in history. Maybe people do want a female president and
Speaker 4: this could have been her time and she could have
Speaker 4: killed it, but we'll never know. She wasn't given that chance.
Speaker 4: No one else was given the chance. And now we're
Speaker 4: going to have to watch these debates. This is going
Speaker 4: to be I think, just a really defining moment, these debates.
Speaker 4: If Karmala Harris can't hold their own against Trump. She
Speaker 4: looks weak. The other story we're not talking about is
Speaker 4: the fact that there were bombers planes from Russia and
Speaker 4: China intercepted off the coast of Alaska. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4: Lisa mccowski, the Senator from Alaska, just put out a
