WEBVTT - Sharri | 24 September 0:00:01.120 --> 0:00:07.040 Why on Sky News This is Sharry Good Evening. 0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:08.520 Welcome to the show tonight. 0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:12.240 The world's leading banks back a call for nuclear energy, 0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:16.880 but Albanizi thinks he knows better. War in Lebanon and 0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:20.360 Israel heats up as the government urges Australians to leave 0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:24.480 the region. Former Labor Minister Mike Kelly and Michael Sooker 0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:28.960 would join me live. Mark Scott refuses to resign and 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:33.440 the pressure on him is mounting. Queensland Premier Stephen Miles 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:36.879 is facing a landslide loss against the Liberal National. 0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:38.000 Party in the upcoming election. 0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:41.760 More on that with Brodwin Bishop and Caleb Bond shortly 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:46.159 plus anger at law enforcement revealing in public there was 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:50.520 a bounty on Trump's head. But first tonight, let's start 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:54.320 with the war in Israel and Lebanon. Prime Minister Anthony 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:59.000 Alberizi is urging Australians in Lebanon to leave immediately as 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:03.560 fighting escalators and war looks inevitable. This is the war 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:08.959 Israel never wanted. It's the war Hesbela has been provoking 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:13.760 for nearly twelve months. Just one day after the October 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:18.160 seven attacks, when Israel was in shock in mourning and 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:22.200 still fighting off the terrorists in the south. That's when 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:26.560 Hesbela began its onslaught in the north. Since then, the 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:30.440 around proxy group has fired more than eight thousand rockets 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:35.280 and deployed hundreds of attack drones. Forty eight people who 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:40.480 have been killed and hundreds injured. The missiles have been indiscriminate, 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:46.759 intended to target Israeli civilians, and Hesbela, don't forget, also 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:53.040 killed twelve Israeli Drew's children while they were playing soccer. 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:57.800 These attacks, all of them, were clear acts of war 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:03.280 from Hesbela, unprovoked. If it weren't for Israel's high tech 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:08.160 defense systems, thousands more innocent civilians would. 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:08.640 Have been killed. 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:13.480 As it is, eighty thousand families have been evacuated from 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:19.160 their homes in northern Israel, and just recently Israel made 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.320 it clear that a new objective of the war was 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:26.560 for these families to return home, for schools to reopen, 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.000 for people to go back to work. 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:33.560 We will take whatever action is necessary to restore security 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:37.800 and to bring our people safe back to their homes. 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:42.800 Now, this is an understandable objective, and it's led to 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:48.400 Israel finally retaliating first with a warning the pager and 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:52.959 walkie talkie attacks. Then when Hesbela didn't stop, didn't get 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.440 the message. Well, now Israel has carried out an assault 0:02:56.520 --> 0:03:01.680 on Hesbela targets with five hundred killed over an Now 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:06.080 Israel has begged the United Nations and the international community 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:12.280 for help in stopping Hesbelah. This hasn't worked. Benjamin Ettanyahu 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:16.440 wants Hesbelah to retreat north of the so called blue 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:21.160 line of the Latani River. This would remove the threat 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:25.359 of cross border incursions, and it was the YUN Secretary 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:30.840 General's two thousand declaration. Yet Foreign Minister pennywe here in 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:36.440 Australia apparently doesn't support Israel daring to defend itself against 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:40.960 a terror group that's been attacking its citizens almost daily 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:42.400 for the past year. 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:49.880 Mister hundreds did I've worked apparently in the rapidly read 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:53.840 up forming rights by Israel, and you talk of the escamation. 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:58.120 You're not feeding a lot of blood in your college. 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.960 But how can you avoid hid in some way Israel 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.080 bring in hostilities like that? 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:08.480 Well, I again repeat what I said earlier, which we 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.400 are deeply concerned by this escalation. 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:12.920 And the loss. 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:15.040 Of civilian lives and we would urge all parties to 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:16.280 de escalate. 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:20.160 And that's all we see from the alban Ezy government 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.520 constant criticism of Israel. 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:25.360 Pennywong says that Israel has. 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:28.200 The right to defend itself, but then when it does 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:33.599 against terrorism, she calls for Israel to de escalate or 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.960 to have a cease fire, in other words, to lay 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:41.280 down arms, to stop defending itself, to let its civilians 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:46.279 get killed. The Prime Minister today also reiterated the same 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.000 cause to stop Israel fighting. 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:52.920 Terrorists, Billy Pennywong and signaling that people need to leave Lebanon. 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.440 If they're Australian citizens, they should get out. Are you 0:04:56.360 --> 0:05:01.240 very fearful of a growing an all out conflict in 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:01.880 the Middle East? 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:06.480 Well, i am, and we have called for a de escalation. 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:11.120 We've called for a ceasefire, We're called for hots Us 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:14.839 to be released, and we have called along with the 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:19.799 United States, for the support for Joe Biden's peace plan. 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:25.760 Now there's no reason for conflict between Israel and Lebanon, 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:30.320 and I weren't for the radical terrorist group Hezblah, Lebanon 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:33.320 and Israel would be allies and live side by side 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:36.480 in peace. It's a point Greg Sheridan made today. 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:42.320 There is no quarrel between Lebanon and Israel. Hez Bola 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:48.760 is a fundamentalist, extremist, fanatical She'i terrorist group, prescribed under 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:53.400 Australian law as a terrorist and outlawed terrorist organization. Its 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.920 core ideology involves a hatred of the West, a hatred 0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:00.279 of Jews, a hatred of Israel, a determination to wipe 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:01.320 Israel off the map. 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.960 Now a lot of Australians have family in Lebanon and 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:09.360 will be looking on in horror about what's happening in 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:14.280 their country. The Lebanese population and Christians in particular, are 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:15.560 in dismay at the war. 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.480 Hesbela is on the brink of invoking. 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:23.400 There's no love lost between Hesbela and Lebanese Christians. The 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:27.560 fifteen year Lebanese Civil War only ended in nineteen ninety. 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:31.880 The suffering still a vivid memory, and it's why there 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:36.039 was so much goodwill and empathy by Lebanese Christians for 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:41.360 the Israelis attacked by Hermas on October seventh. No one 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:45.640 in Lebanon, or Israel or Australia wants to see innocent 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:50.239 civilians caught in the crossfire, and Yetiyahoo last night spoke 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:56.160 directly to Lebanese citizens saying that Israel's war wasn't with them. 0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.159 The Idea for Us warned you to get out of 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:04.160 Harm's work. I urge you take this warning seriously. Don't 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:07.000 let his balain danger your lives and the lives of 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.240 your loved ones. Don't let his Balain danger Lebanon. 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:15.400 There's no question the Islamic terror groups are wreaking havoc 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.440 in the Middle East thanks to the funding of Iran. 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:24.400 There's also increasing coordination between Hamas and Hesbela, all orchestrated 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:29.560 by Iran. Hamas leader Ishmael Haniya and HESBELA head Hassan 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:32.000 Nasrallah have even been pictured together. 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:33.240 You can see them on the screen. 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:37.320 They're united by their hatred for the West, for Jews, 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:41.680 and their desire to destroy Israel. And in this photograph 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:45.640 you can see the Harmas and Hesbela leadership meeting and 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.400 there's photographs of Iran supreme leaders. 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:49.760 On the wall. Now. 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:53.920 HESBLA is one of the richest terror organizations globally. It's 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:57.800 on your budget around one billion dollars US, and Iran 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.880 gives the group hundreds of millions of dollars a year. 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:06.120 For nearly a year now, Israel has been urging Hesbela 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.800 to back down, saying it doesn't want. 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:09.280 To go to war. 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:16.280 Hesbela has chosen this path. It has chosen war. Perhaps 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:21.720 if the international community had put more effort into pressuring Hesbela, 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:25.840 her Mus and their supporters, if they truly squeezed a. 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:33.000 Ran, we may not be in this predicament. Now. 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:37.000 The nuclear debate is ramping up in Australia. Peter Dutton 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:40.679 has outlined his vision in a major speech, but all 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:43.160 the Easy is hell bent on attacking it. 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:47.520 Each nuclear plant will create hundreds or thousands of new 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:51.600 jobs too. New industries will flourish, thousands of jobs will 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.800 be created. It will set our country and our manufacturing 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:56.480 sectors up for generations to come. 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:57.959 Because we know it doesn't add up. 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:04.000 That's why, along with their anti capitalism agenda, they're saying 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:07.720 that the state should own all the nuclear power plants 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.360 because no one in any market based system would go 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:13.559 anywhere near it. 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:16.640 It's starting to look more and more unusual that Alban 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:20.520 Easy is so against nuclear energy being part of Australia's 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:24.479 mix when he's clearly now at odds with the international community. 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:30.760 Around thirty countries internationally are embracing nuclear already, and now 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:35.200 the world's largest banks have pledged support for nuclear The 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:38.959 Financial Times reporting today that fourteen of the world's biggest 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:43.240 banks and financial institutions are pledging to increase their support 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:47.400 for nuclear energy, a move that governments and industry hope 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:50.760 will unlock finance for a new wave of nuclear power. 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:54.400 Plants and White House officials held a meeting in New 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:59.160 York on Monday with the Bank of America, Barclays, BNP, Parabus, 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:03.160 City Dog, and Stanley and Goldman Sachs to support a 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:08.160 goal to triple the world's nuclear energy capacity by twenty fifty. 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.240 They say this is part of the transition to low 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:16.120 carbon energy, and in fact BNP told The Financial Times 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:20.839 there's no scenario where the world can hit carbon neutrality 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:27.839 by twenty fifty without nuclear power. Yet still alban Easy 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.880 thinks he knows better than the White House and the 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:35.320 major banks. He's turning the idea of nuclear energy into 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:37.320 an attack on Peter Dutton. 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:40.760 This is just a fantasy. 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.840 Instead of snow White and the Seven Dwarves, this is 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:46.320 Peter Dutton, the seven Nuclear reactors. 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:51.280 But why does Albineazy think he knows more about energy 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:57.200 security and sustainability than the world's smartest people. Once again, 0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:01.439 he's clearly out of step with the international community, and 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:09.120 once again it's all because of petty politics. All right, 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:11.760 lots to come on the show tonight. Former Labor Minister 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.320 Mike Kelly would join me shortly. He's going to be 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:17.840 very strong also, Michael Silker coming up on the show. 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.920 But first let's go to my usual Tuesday panel, former 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.800 Speaker of the House Bronwin Bishop and Sky News host 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:24.520 Caleb Bond. 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:25.959 Welcome to you both. 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:28.880 Look, Bron, I want to start by getting your reaction 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:32.920 to this nuclear debate. That was quite a meeting, the 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:38.400 world's financial institutions all pledging to support nuclear how benys, 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:40.640 he is looking more and more out of step, isn't he. 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:43.880 What's worse than that? You were talking about the smartest 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.319 people in the world and al benez he certainly is 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:49.400 not one of them. He really is elbow the trot 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:52.439 and he was never expected to be a leader of anything. 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:56.520 So what we're seeing is that the speech that Dutton 0:11:56.559 --> 0:12:00.840 gave today was a really very fine speech, and his 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.560 response to questions showed that he's on top of his brief, 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.880 he knows what he's about, and he outland a plan 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:10.240 that said and pointed out, among other things that were 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:16.040 the development of AI and other industries, that the demand 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:19.960 for more power, reliable power is going to increase, not decrease, 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:25.000 and that intermittent power can't do it. And so Albanese's 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:29.480 pathetic little interludes I think just show how pathetic he 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:32.600 really is. I think Peter Dutton also made the point 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:36.520 that immediately they agreed to the ORCA still and said fine, 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.640 we can have nuclear subs, they'd really laid to rest 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:43.680 the fear of nuclear in this country. But they're so 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:46.760 desperate to have anything to say when they lost the voice, 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:50.000 they lost their mojo, they lost their direction. They really 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:52.880 are just scrambling around, and so we really have to 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:56.400 say we're listening to the people who've got sensible plans 0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:58.360 and we know it's good for the country. 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:03.240 Caleb that point that Bronman just made, that discrepancy between 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:07.559 the government's embrace of nuclear powered submarines but then it's 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:11.080 rejection of nuclear for energy more broadly, that is something 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.040 the coalition is now starting to seize on as part 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:14.960 of its arguments. 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:16.400 Do you think that'll be convincing. 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:18.840 I think it is well. I mean the argument from 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:21.840 the government is entirely nonsensical. I mean, how can you 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.800 possibly say that it is safe to have submarines swimming 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:28.000 around in the ocean powered by nuclear energy, but it's 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:31.959 not safe to have nuclear energy in places in Australia 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:34.720 that are some of the most geologically stable parts of 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:38.439 the world. It is a nonsensical argument and we saw 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.960 that in the reaction from the government when Darton seid, 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:44.320 we'll here are the nine odd locations on which we 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:46.920 want to put nuclear reactors. I mean, we had these 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:50.640 silly memes being put forward by ministers of the government 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:52.360 for him AND's sake, saying you know, we're going to 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:54.719 have three eyed fish and your children are going to 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:56.839 have two heads and all this sort of stuff, because 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.560 they know they've lost the moral argument. There is broad 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:03.720 support now in Australia for nuclear energy, so they fell 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:06.160 for the three card trick and went for the old 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:09.120 stuff from the eighties, you know, Chernobyl and then later 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:12.280 of course Fukushima. Supposedly it's all going to fall apart 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:15.080 if we have nuclear energy. We know that's not going 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:17.040 to happen. And to the point you made bron went 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:21.760 about the reliance on extra power to fund things like AI. 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:25.400 You look to the US. In the last couple of days, Microsoft, 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:27.920 one of the post tech companies in the world, has 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:32.080 paid for twenty years for a nuclear reactor to be 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:37.080 recommissioned so they can have power exclusively for themselves to 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:40.560 fund AI technology. Now, if that does not tell you 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:43.200 that the biggest companies in the world are full bore 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:45.720 on nuclear but Elbow says, no, no, no, we couldn't 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:47.400 possibly have it. I mean giving it bruh. 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:50.720 And I think politically it was actually a really smart 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:54.200 move that Peter Dutton announced this policy so far out 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:58.080 from the election, because it's giving him time to convince 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:00.720 the public, it's giving everyone the time to get used 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:04.120 to it. So I think that was a smart move 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:07.840 given initially it might have seemed like a controversial policy. 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:10.760 Now let's have a look at the RBA decision today. 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.760 It has yet again kept interest rates on hold at 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:15.080 four point three five percent. 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:16.120 This is now the. 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:19.960 Seventh meeting in a row. Inflation continues to simmer. However, 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:27.840 here was Governor Michelle Bullock today we might bring you 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:30.960 those comments in a moment, do you have We haven't 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:31.800 got the comments there. 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:36.520 Yeah, inflation is still above our target and it's proving 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:41.080 to be sticky progressing, getting underlying inflation down has slowed 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:44.520 and it's likely to have remained slow in the September quarter. 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:48.400 So it's not looking like we're going to see any 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:49.760 rate cuts this year. 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.680 Browin it might be well into next year, even might not. 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:55.360 Even be the first quarter before we see a rate cut, 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:57.800 given inflation is staying high. 0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:02.160 Exactly, And this argument that because they've been reduced internationally, 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:05.240 therefore they should be reduced here. People forget to tell 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:08.360 you that the reduced interest rate in the States is 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:12.080 still higher than the cash rate he is here, and 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:16.600 higher again in the UK. So the argument that says, 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:23.720 or rather that the snake charmer, the illusionist says, the 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:26.640 independent RBA is doing all this. It's not me, it's 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:28.960 not us, and we've got to have this wake up 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:33.520 that we're both doing our job. It's this absolute attempt 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:37.560 to blame the RBA for the incompetence of the government 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:41.280 by increasing its spending, which has made the inflation rate 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:46.200 worse than it should be. So I find the whole 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:53.200 idea that both Albow and Sharma and Charmers think that 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:56.120 if they wish hard enough and they cross their fingers 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:58.720 and toes and if they're really good little people say 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.160 their present night, get a cuts wrote, they'll get a 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:04.320 cup the interstrate because otherwise they've got a built up 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:06.399 on the people they appointed to these positions that are 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:09.000 making decisions and they're not doing as they're told. 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:11.840 Yeah, yeah, well, I mean the whole political strategy from 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:13.840 the GM was he wanted a rate cut and then 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.159 he wanted to announce the election as. 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:18.720 I still think an early election is more likely than not. 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:21.600 Well, you're going to be saying that until we're like 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:23.840 it well into the seven that we know how the 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:28.120 election from let's pivot to the US. A letter by 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:33.120 Donald Trump's second would be assassin has been discovered now. 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:36.520 Ryan Ruth wrote the letter in case his assassination attempt 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:40.120 on the golf course failed, and it's an insight into 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:43.600 his thoughts, but it's provoked a lot of controversy. He wrote, 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:46.840 Dear world, this was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:49.159 but I'm so sorry I failed you. I tried my 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:51.320 best and gave it all the gumpshn I could muster. 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:53.399 It's up to you to finish the job, and I 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:56.879 will offer one hundred and fifty thousand dollars to whoever 0:17:57.000 --> 0:18:01.439 can complete the job. Caleb, there's now why it spread 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:06.720 outrage that this note has been made public, because the 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:12.080 argument is that it incites, it encourages another assassination attempt. 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:12.640 What do you think? 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:15.720 That may well be true, but it is also a 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:18.440 pretty important piece of evidence that at some point had 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:21.680 to come out in court anyway. So whether we found 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:23.480 it out now or whether we found it out later, 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:26.000 it was probably going to be it at some point. 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:31.159 I think it goes to exactly how divided America is 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:34.520 at the moment and the real threat that still exists 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:38.199 on the head of Donald Trump. Republican Rep. Matt Gates 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:40.760 revealed the other day that he has spoken to people, 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:44.360 or at least one person in Homeland Security and they 0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:48.320 have the understanding that there are at least five groups currently, 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:51.840 including three that are led by foreign nations, that have 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:57.400 a bounty on Donald Trump's head. They want Donald Trump dead. Now, 0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:00.479 whether or not this letter was released, those groups are 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:03.240 still out there. There is still danger to Donald Trump. 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:08.359 Someone I'm convinced between now and November is going to 0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:11.439 try to get him again. The real question is why 0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:15.200 he has not been given extra protection, and I suspect 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:17.880 it's because there are certain people who don't want him 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:20.840 to have extra protection because they'd rather him dead than 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:21.920 elected in November. 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:24.360 Well, he's still I think all those points you made, 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:26.600 by the way, are excellent, Caleb, but I think he 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:28.680 still does have less protection. 0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:30.280 Does and he then the current president? 0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:32.880 Yes, yeah, the evidence shows the threats on his life 0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:33.280 are greater. 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:34.400 I agree with you. 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:37.680 It looks like it's more than likely there'll be another 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:39.320 attempt on his life. 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:43.960 Well, the worrying thing is who is it that's stopping 0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:49.520 the protection from being given? And it plases the vice president, 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:52.800 I think in a very invidious position. If I were her, 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:56.359 I would be demanding he'd be given top protection. You 0:19:56.440 --> 0:20:01.280 are to it looks like she doesn't care, and I 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:03.800 think more should be made of that point. But in 0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:07.320 that letter, I agree with you. I think that letter 0:20:07.359 --> 0:20:08.920 was going to come out, and it needed to come 0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:11.359 out because they've got to keep that bloken jail, not 0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:14.080 let him out on bail. That's the most important thing. 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:15.919 I couldn't possibly do well. 0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:19.320 It's being argued that he states, and it's being argued 0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:22.240 that he's not a risk of the society, and he 0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:23.119 said Donald Trump. 0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:25.719 But it proves the point that some were trying to 0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:27.760 make in the leftist media in the US last week 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:31.919 that this was a potential assassination, that there was no 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:35.359 potential about it. We now know exactly what he wanted 0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:38.040 to do. We cannot get around that. That letter proves. 0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:41.320 What about that incredible woman who saw it there would 0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:44.320 be assassin? Thought he looked creepy, looked wrong, and she 0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:48.520 followed him and took photographs of the number plate and 0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:50.040 so on. She's a heroine. 0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:52.040 We should hear more about her exactly. 0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:54.200 But again it goes to your point, why weren't there 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:57.240 security protracting the location more thoroughly. 0:20:57.280 --> 0:20:59.639 Why did it have to come down to civilians. 0:20:59.720 --> 0:21:03.000 INDI that's exactly the point. And I think more of 0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:07.679 this should be cheated home to Kamela because she is 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:09.440 in the position to do something about it. 0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:12.879 And even we know even before either of the assassination attempts, 0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:16.639 there were those in the Congress who were trying to 0:21:16.680 --> 0:21:21.040 remove his se career protection entire It's complete outrage. No 0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:23.800 matter what you think of any politician, we're in a 0:21:23.840 --> 0:21:25.960 democracy and both need to make it to the election. 0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:30.080 Speaking of elections, news poll shows that the Queensland Premier, 0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:34.399 Stephen Miles is facing a landslide defeat against the Liberal 0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:38.200 National Party in next month's election. The opposition is ten 0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:41.720 points clear of Labor, so this is clearly paving the 0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:45.080 way for David Chris A Foley to lead an L 0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:50.800 ANDP majority government. Caleb, he claims he's got an underdog status, 0:21:51.160 --> 0:21:54.240 but look this defeat for Labor, it's been a long 0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:54.879 time coming. 0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:55.400 Yeah. 0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:58.359 Look, you know you'd have to think that he doesn't 0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:00.920 have underdog status. But also you don't want to fall 0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:03.880 into the trap of looking to cocky or confidence sure 0:22:04.240 --> 0:22:07.720 exactly going into an election like this, because you never 0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:11.640 know things can change. And this is the difficulty, right 0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:13.760 because if you go out there and say, well, it's 0:22:13.800 --> 0:22:16.920 a lay down mazare, the voters will actually turn against 0:22:16.920 --> 0:22:19.240 you because they will get the impression that you don't 0:22:19.280 --> 0:22:21.760 really care because you've taken advantage of us. You think 0:22:21.880 --> 0:22:24.080 we're going to hand your government anyway. So he has 0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:27.640 to say that they have underdog status and if by 0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:30.400 the numbers. You look at how long Labor has spent 0:22:30.480 --> 0:22:34.280 in power in Queensland compared to the LNP, particularly given 0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:36.959 the fact that the last LNP government in the Queensland 0:22:37.119 --> 0:22:40.199 in Queensland Sorry, only lasted one term. Then he actually 0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:43.480 does have the right to claim that they have underdog status. 0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:46.879 It's just that this version of the government under Mars 0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:49.479 has done so badly that he's coughed it up. Something 0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:52.239 tells me that if an a stage of Palichet were 0:22:52.240 --> 0:22:55.000 still the leader, they would fare better than they would 0:22:55.119 --> 0:22:56.800 under right now. 0:22:57.440 --> 0:22:59.400 They might rue the day that they got rid. 0:22:59.320 --> 0:23:02.760 Of from giggling pretenders out there, indeed. 0:23:03.119 --> 0:23:04.160 But I think the. 0:23:04.119 --> 0:23:05.919 Real thing is there's still a lot of seats they 0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:09.200 have to win, Yes, and he's entitled to say that's 0:23:09.240 --> 0:23:10.680 underdog step and when you've got that. 0:23:10.640 --> 0:23:14.160 Many, so any leader would love those polls. 0:23:14.760 --> 0:23:17.960 Yes, but kind of makes a very valid point. If 0:23:17.960 --> 0:23:20.360 you get over confident, you could end up like mister Shorten. 0:23:21.040 --> 0:23:24.400 All right, there you go, bromin Bishop and Calebon. Great 0:23:24.400 --> 0:23:25.959
