1 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: On scoring leaves Australia. This is the Wider Pane Show. 2 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 2: Good evening, Welcome to the Rita Panahee Show. I'm Caroline Trusso. 3 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 2: Coming up on the show tonight. Why social media giants 4 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 2: have an issue with Australian privacy laws. Some of Australia's 5 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 2: biggest companies are seeking government bailouts because they can't cope 6 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 2: with the weight of climate regulation. An Army Horowitz joins 7 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 2: me from the US with all the latest on the 8 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 2: Epstein files, the Trump and must spat and is Federal 9 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 2: Reserve Chair Jerome Powe soon. 10 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 3: To leave the building? 11 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 2: Plus the latest in the Royal family peace talks, and 12 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 2: of course lefties losing it. Here is the sneak peak 13 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 2: of well, whatever this is meant to be, now, let's 14 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 2: start with the economy and former Treasury Secretary of Ken 15 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 2: Henry said the federal government has a spending problem. 16 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 3: Well, I think we all knew that, and that. 17 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 2: Loss productivity has cost the average Australian worker five hundred 18 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 2: thousand over the last twenty five years. Now, everything the 19 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 2: Albanezi government has done thus far has crippled productivity and 20 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 2: apparently a round table is going to fix it. Joining 21 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 2: me now for more on this is a former Victorian 22 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 2: Liberal Party president, Michael Kroger. Michael, we have a problem 23 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 2: with productivity. Everyone knows we have a problem with productivity. 24 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 2: But how do we fix this issue in Australia when 25 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 2: the government is ideologically opposed to it? 26 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: Well, that's right. 27 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 4: Look, the easiest way to fix productivity is steering the 28 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 4: government in the face. And it's the amount of time 29 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 4: federal and state government's take to approve projects, licenses, applications, 30 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 4: permits submitted by the private sector. Remember Adani, the mine there. 31 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: Took over eight years for approval. 32 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 4: I mean to get approval for housing developments can take 33 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 4: anything up to two two and a half years with appeals. 34 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 4: I mean, if you cut the amount of time that 35 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 4: it took for government to approve licenses, permits, you would 36 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 4: dramatically increase productivity in this country and it would cost nothing. 37 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: And you know so the Liberal Party, I've got no doubt, 38 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: would approve. 39 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 4: The Greens wouldn't, but the Liberal Party in the Senate 40 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 4: would approve all sorts of changes to quantify the titments 41 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 4: by which government departments have to approve applications federal in 42 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 4: the State and of course, if you want to then 43 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 4: have appeals, you could set up something like the Takeover's Panel, 44 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 4: which deals with corporation since uge, where they give you 45 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 4: an answer within two weeks. The Corporations Panel acts extremely quickly, 46 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 4: so if you didn't like an application, you know an approval. 47 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 4: Instead of going to the courts, you go to an 48 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 4: independent body set up to be the appeals body for 49 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 4: permit applications granted or denied by governments. 50 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: And if you dramatically cut the. 51 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 4: Time for the approval of these applications, you would massively 52 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 4: increase productivity in this country. So whilst he's convening a 53 00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,079 Speaker 4: productivity around table with business, he should be convening a 54 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 4: productivity around table with government departments and looking at all 55 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 4: sorts of environmental and approvals legislation where public servants don't 56 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,959 Speaker 4: have time limits the approval of applications. I mean you 57 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 4: lodge an application for a house development, housing development Victoria, 58 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 4: or an amendment to your planning permit. 59 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: It can take. 60 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,399 Speaker 4: Six months, seven months, there's no time limit the objectives. 61 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 4: Then appeal it goes to VCAT that take another year, 62 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 4: year and a half. I mean sooner or later. Governments 63 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 4: have got to recognize they are the problem. It's not 64 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 4: the private sector that's the problem. And so he can 65 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 4: have all around table discurtancy like and it's better than nothing. 66 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 4: But the real problem is the log of his own 67 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 4: eye and it has been in this country for a generation. 68 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 2: And I think there's another piece to that as well, Michael. 69 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 2: We've obviously seen the industrial relations changes that went through 70 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 2: under the last term. 71 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 3: Which had just continue to hinder productivity. 72 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 2: I think it's really hoton that the government let us 73 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 2: know what additional IR changes they'll have for this term 74 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 2: and what impact that will have on productivity. 75 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 3: Would you agree, well. 76 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: I do agree. 77 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 4: You know, Tony Burke slipped through all these amendments with 78 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 4: the support of the Greens in the first term of 79 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 4: the Albanizy government, bit by bit by bit, making harder 80 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 4: for business, mainly larger corporations, especially in the mining industry. 81 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 4: We're seeing moves towards pattern bargaining, et cetera, et cetera. 82 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 4: This is all slow productivity and he's done it at 83 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 4: the behest of the trading movement. 84 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: Of course, he's paying his masters. 85 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, of course he should set out what industrial relations 86 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 4: changes he's proposing, if any during the second term of 87 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 4: the Albany is the government and put them on the 88 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 4: table during the productivity roundtable, because I'm sure he'd get 89 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 4: a very strong answer there from the private sector. 90 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: But the government basically is any business. 91 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 5: I think that he will pro business. 92 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 1: And that's the problem. 93 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, correct. 94 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 5: Now. 95 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 2: Another policy setting proposed by Ken Henry is the introduction 96 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 2: of a climate trigger for all major projects so that 97 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 2: they can account for essentially their impact on global warming. 98 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 2: Now does this cut across what he says on productivity 99 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 2: and will this trigger achieve whatever it is it's intended 100 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 2: to achieve. 101 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 4: Well, of course it cuts across it. I mean what 102 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 4: Ken Henry's proposing is more regulation. I mean that's not 103 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 4: what we need in this country. So when he talks 104 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 4: about productivity improvements and how every work has lost five 105 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 4: hundred thousand over the last decade or so, he's proposing 106 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 4: to make. 107 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: It harder for business. Why doesn't Australia instead of being. 108 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 4: A world leader on net zero and these other things 109 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 4: where we talk about being worlds, why don't we take 110 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 4: the world leaders on deregulation and making it easy for 111 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 4: people to do business. I mean, capital is very mobile 112 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 4: around the world. If Australian got a reputation has been 113 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 4: the easiest country in the world for business to do business. 114 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 1: We would see a boom in productivity. 115 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 4: So Ken Henry maybe right on his first point about 116 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 4: loss productivity, but increasing regulation to put in another massive 117 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 4: overlaid which would take months and months and years for 118 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 4: government departments to determine whether or not there was an 119 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 4: effect on the climate of any particular project. That's exactly 120 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 4: the wrong way to go, and you know that's not 121 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 4: what the government should be doing. 122 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 2: Now, moving on to a separate topic and some very 123 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 2: interesting comments made by Jason Clair regarding the timeline for 124 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 2: the implementation if any of the recommendations from anti Semitism envoid. 125 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 2: Jillian Siegel and apparently the government will wait until the 126 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 2: Islamophobia Envoy reports back, which could apparently take months. Now 127 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 2: is this really appropriate given the recent spate of anti 128 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: Semitic attacks. 129 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 4: Well, of course it's not. I mean, Jason Clair knows that. 130 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 4: But look, you have a hard left government here run 131 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 4: by Wong and Albanizi. They're unsympathetic to Israel. What coming 132 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 4: up to two years since October seven? Jillian Siegel puts 133 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 4: forward a very thoughtful discussion paper with many exceptionally good recommendations. 134 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 4: The government should have accepted her recommendation within a week, 135 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 4: dealt with them and started to implement her recommendations. It 136 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 4: doesn't seem to be any hurry at all in relation 137 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 4: to this government's move in relation to his you know, antisemitism, 138 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 4: is Lamophobia doesn't seem to be massively on the increase 139 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 4: in this country. There are reports, but I haven't seen 140 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 4: mosques being burnt down. I haven't seen Muslim leaders and 141 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 4: clerics being abused in the streets. I haven't seen tax 142 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 4: on cars and houses. I haven't seen hateful things said 143 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 4: about you know, Muslim people at Jewish rallies, et cetera, 144 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 4: et cetera. Of course they should have already moved by now. 145 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 4: And to say we're waiting on the report from the 146 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 4: Islambiphobia commissioner, boy, that's a terrible cop out and extremely disappointing. 147 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 4: But it adds to it adds to the weakness of 148 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 4: the Albanese government in dealing with Anti seven, which started 149 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 4: the day after the October seven massacre, where Penny one 150 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 4: call for restraint, all on Israel to be restrained. Well, 151 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 4: how different the Middle East would be today if the 152 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 4: Western world had shown restraint in relation to Hamas Hezbola, 153 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 4: the Houtis and Iran and southern parts of Syria. So 154 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 4: again a very disappointing response from the government, but not 155 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 4: a typical of. 156 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 3: Them, No, not at all. 157 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 2: And speaking of disappointing responses, onto Albanese's trip to China, 158 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 2: and apparently the Prime Minister has sought to allay fears 159 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 2: over the proposed East Coast gas reservation policy with the Chinese. Firstly, 160 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 2: you think you'd be having that discussion with the Japanese 161 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 2: as a priority and other major importers. But shouldn't ALBERNIZI 162 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 2: have high priority matters to discuss with Jijingping? 163 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 4: Well, he should, I mean, why doesn't he discuss with 164 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 4: Jijingping net zero, China's attitude to net zero? Why didn't 165 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 4: you discuss with him? Or didn't he discuss with him? 166 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 4: The fact that they're building dozens and dozens of of 167 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 4: power plants that alban Easy opposes. 168 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: Why didn't he ask. 169 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 4: The Chinese what their intentions were about Taiwan? That would 170 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 4: have been very helpful the Western world for him to 171 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,199 Speaker 4: ask that question. Why didn't he discuss with them Chinese 172 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 4: relations with Chinese relations with the Russians who are arming 173 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 4: you know, they're arming the Russians in the fight against Ukraine. 174 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 4: We're on the other side of this war. Why didn't 175 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 4: he discuss it with him? 176 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: And finally, why didn't he discuss with him in relation 177 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 1: to trade issues? 178 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 4: The fact that China is the biggest producer of fakes 179 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 4: in the world, fake handbags, fake goods, fake leather, fake watches, everything, 180 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 4: what we're talking about trade. Why doesn't he pull the 181 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 4: Chinese up on these things? But this, this this visit 182 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 4: by alban and Easy to China. It was like, you know, 183 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 4: don't mention the war. We can't upset any anybody, We 184 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 4: can't say anything. We've just got to be a timid, 185 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 4: you know, weak lickspittle over here in Australia who can't 186 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 4: afford to offend the Chinese under any circumstances. And what 187 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 4: a disappointing trip in Australia has just been humiliated by 188 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 4: this visit. 189 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 2: Unfortunately, Yeah, and still hasn't managed to see the US 190 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 2: president yet, which actually you would think would have been 191 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 2: the priority, we would have been the priority. Now onto 192 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 2: a story, and I have to say this one here 193 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 2: raised my eyebrows and Mark Zuckerberg's Meta has told Anthony 194 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 2: Albanize in his government that overly broad changes to privacy 195 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 2: laws could curtail its ability to develop AI. So what's 196 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 2: the issue here for Meta? But more importantly, what's the 197 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 2: issue here for everyday Australians. 198 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 4: Well, I don't accept what Meta is saying. You know, 199 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 4: these tech companies have got far too much power. You know, 200 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,959 Speaker 4: I support the band that's being introduced here. I think 201 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 4: these companies have been extremely derelict in there in the 202 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 4: international responsibilities. You know, we don't need lectures moral lectures 203 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 4: from Meta and others about these things. I mean, you know, 204 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 4: by and large these companies have been left wing. They 205 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 4: they've allowed shocking things to be published on their sites 206 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 4: with our proper over site. They're largely incorporated in tax 207 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 4: havens to avoid to avoid US tax et cetera, et cetera, 208 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 4: et cetera. So do I think the privacy regulation here 209 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 4: has got anything to do with AI? Perhaps perhaps smarter 210 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 4: people and me can work out the link, but I can't. 211 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 4: I can't personally work out the links. So no, I 212 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 4: don't agree. I don't believe what he's saying on this. 213 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, well I always think that. 214 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 2: Look, I understand that they might want to develop software 215 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 2: and the like, and they might want to make AI better, 216 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 2: but I think as a priority, our government should be 217 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 2: protecting our private information as much as they can. 218 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 3: Michael Kroger, thank you so much for joining us. Thank 219 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 3: you joining me now is geologist Ian Plymer Ian. 220 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 2: Let's get straight in and our friends that The Guardian 221 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 2: have reported that the UK's clean electricity is growing too 222 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 2: slowly to meet climate targets. Why are governments and government 223 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 2: agencies still surprised by this? 224 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 6: Well, the climate targets are unrealistic to start with. Secondly, wind, 225 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 6: certainly offshore wind in the UK just hasn't worked. It's 226 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 6: far too expensive. And the third thing is they've shut 227 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 6: down their nuclear power stations to the point where there's 228 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 6: very little nuclear power in the UK, and they bring 229 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 6: nuclear power across from France. So it's disaster after disaster. 230 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,839 Speaker 6: And the poor Old Guardian, which used to be one 231 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 6: of the greatest newspapers in the world, has now become 232 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 6: a propaganda sheet of the left. And the poor Old 233 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 6: Guardian doesn't understand that there are some realities that you 234 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 6: have to understand. One of them is that you can't 235 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 6: keep an industrial economy going on low density power, and 236 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 6: that's what they're doing. The second thing is that the 237 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 6: targets are unrealistic. And the third thing is that Britain 238 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 6: once that cheap, reliable it was nuclear and coal. No 239 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 6: longer they have a little bit of gas. There's a 240 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 6: huge amount of gas still out in the North Sea. 241 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 6: This could be obtained by fracking, but apparently this is 242 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 6: so sinful that they're prepared to go broke and starve 243 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 6: and freeze in the dark. 244 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 2: And the UK was a great manufacturing economy and you. 245 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 3: Refer to that cheap power. 246 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 2: So then going forward for the UK, is it a 247 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 2: return to gas, is it a return to nuclear? I mean, 248 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 2: we know that governments get caught in ideology here, but 249 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 2: at some point they're going to have to make some 250 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 2: practical decisions. 251 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 6: Well, yes they are, but the ideological decisions. Victoria was 252 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,559 Speaker 6: one for manufacturing heartland of Australia. It's bankrupt and their 253 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 6: energy is extraordinary expensive. Yet they once had the cheapest 254 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 6: electricity in Australia and very close to the cheapest in 255 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 6: the world. Germany went the same way. Germany produced motor vehicles, 256 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 6: many of these are now made outside Germany. They had 257 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 6: a great manufacturing industry and they have sent themselves into 258 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 6: a very difficult economic position because of the cost of energy. 259 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 6: The UK has done exactly the same. There used to 260 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,319 Speaker 6: be a great manufacturing country. They had a lot of 261 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 6: cheap energy from coal up in the north, from nuclear 262 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 6: in the south. They have some gas, They've got huge 263 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 6: gas reserves. They still have huge coal reserves. But they 264 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 6: have decided ideologically that the UK is going to save 265 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 6: the world by banks Chipman and the poor old pension 266 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 6: is in the UK are suffering. Now. You shouldn't in 267 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 6: a G twenty country like the UK, as a pensioner 268 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 6: have to make a decision do you have a hot meal, 269 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 6: do you have a hot shower or do you have 270 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 6: a heater on? But you can't have all three And 271 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 6: that's where the UK's got itself into simply by ideology. 272 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 6: This has got nothing to do with the appalling labor 273 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 6: government they've got. It's also due to more than a 274 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 6: decade of a pretty weak Conservative government with various prime 275 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 6: ministers being changed like underwear. 276 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 2: And interestingly, when this labor government came in in the UK, 277 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 2: they chastise the conservatives for going too slow on nuclear, 278 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 2: which is the polar opposite obviously of what's happened here 279 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 2: in Australia. 280 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 3: At least there seems to be a bit. 281 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 2: More of a practical approach in the US, and Trump's 282 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 2: energies are Chris right. Well, he's argued that climate change 283 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 2: isn't necessarily an existential crisis and that most green policies 284 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 2: they actually. 285 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 3: Bring around exclusion and scarcity. What's your thoughts on his view. 286 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 6: Well, energy keeps the Western world going. 287 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 7: If we don't have cheap energy, we do not survive, 288 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 7: and we can go back into the Stone Age. Even 289 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 7: if we get rid of fossil fuels, we still need 290 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 7: about six thousand daily products made from fossil fuels. 291 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 6: We need a lot of medicines and medical equipment made 292 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 6: from fossil fuels. So the reality is that we live 293 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 6: in an energy dense society where we need a lot 294 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 6: of energy, where we need fossil fuels. Now, there is 295 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 6: no crisis existential crisis. It is a crisis of thought, 296 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 6: and it's a crisis of propaganda. We now have people 297 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 6: who are absolutely convinced that one cow farting in a 298 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 6: paddic over there, or for us to drive a car 299 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 6: is going to send this country into a big spin climb. Wise, now, 300 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 6: there are a few fundamentals. No one has ever shown 301 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 6: that too many missions of carbon dioxide drive global warming. 302 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 6: It's never been shown. So until you can show this, 303 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 6: then we will never have an existential crisis. So I 304 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 6: think what's happening in the US is actually pragmatic. The 305 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 6: US is blessed with a lot of oil, a lot 306 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 6: of gas. It's got no uranium, although it's just across 307 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 6: the border in Canada where there's huge uranium deposits there. 308 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 6: They get a lot of energy coming in pipelines from Canada. 309 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 6: They are exceptionally well blessed with energy. This is making 310 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 6: America great, and it did make America great in the past. 311 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 6: So it's not an existential problem. It's a problem of competition. 312 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 6: If you want to compete in today's world, you need 313 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 6: cheap energy. This is why China is able to compete. 314 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 6: This is why China is able to produce goods very cheaply, 315 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 6: which they flood the world with because they have cheap energy. 316 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 6: And President Trump is going that direction, saying we want 317 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 6: to be a great manufacturing country again to do this. 318 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 6: We need cheap energy now. 319 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:40,199 Speaker 3: Just off the back of that. 320 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 2: Obviously, the US is the biggest economy in the world. 321 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 2: Do you think that other Western governments will slowly take 322 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 2: up some of these more sensible approaches, if for no 323 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 2: other reason than necessity. 324 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 6: Well, I think they'll have to, but some are going 325 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 6: to be pretty slow. I've mentioned Victoria earlier. They'll still 326 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 6: be in the Stone Age when the rest of the 327 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 6: world has changed, and Australia is an island. We cannot 328 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 6: import energy from our neighbors. Now Germany does that when 329 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 6: the wind doesn't blow. They bring in hydro from Norway, 330 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 6: they bring in coal from Poland, they bring in nuclear 331 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 6: power from France and Slovakia. And the US does the same. 332 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 6: It brings in hydro from Quebec, it brings in nuclear 333 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 6: from Ontario. So they have neighbors and they can get 334 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 6: energy from their neighbors. But in this country we have 335 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 6: to be independent, and we are so well blessed. We 336 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 6: have huge amounts of uranium, we have thousands of years 337 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 6: of coal, thousands of years of gas. Yet we seem 338 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 6: to want to rely on sea breezes and sunbeams, and 339 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 6: the sun doesn't shine all the time, and the wind 340 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 6: doesn't blow all the time, and I don't know how 341 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 6: we're going to run an industrial economy on sea breezes 342 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 6: and sunbeams. Well, we can have solar and wind operate 343 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,439 Speaker 6: in some areas. I spend as a geologist a lot 344 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 6: of my life, and the outback many stations use wind 345 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 6: to charge our batteries, to keep systems going, many isolated 346 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 6: phone boxes or railway signals. He is solar, and that's 347 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 6: because the wind and sol that have a very low 348 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 6: energy density. But if you want a lot of grunt 349 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 6: from your energy, you need nuclear, you need coll you 350 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 6: need gas, or you need hydro, which of course is 351 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 6: not effective in this country because we don't have great 352 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 6: alpine ranges and we don't have high rainfall. So there's 353 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 6: a pragmatism there, and it's based on simple physics. It's 354 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 6: based on what resources we have, and it's based on 355 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 6: whether we have politicians who are very smart and who 356 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 6: are not getting the Chinese burned from various unionists that 357 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 6: want their super funds to make a fortune out of 358 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 6: wind and solar. So we're destroying our economy. It's happening 359 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 6: in front of our eyes. And when we're going to 360 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 6: wake up. Well, I hope I'm still alive to see it. 361 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 2: And just very quickly, when you're talking about the grant 362 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 2: back home in Australia and the coalitions calling for a 363 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 2: change to Labour's policy settings is we've got these major 364 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 2: players who are now seeking government bailouts because of climate regulation. 365 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 3: If we've got this major sovereign. 366 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 2: Capacity that can't remain viable, then surely the policy settings 367 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 2: have to change. 368 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 3: I've only got about thirty seconds left. 369 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 6: That's because of expensive energy. How smelters in this country 370 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 6: rely on cheap energy. It is now no longer cheap. 371 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 6: And the Chinese are putting us out of business by 372 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 6: having the smelter treatment charges as a negative charge. In 373 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 6: other words, they pay you to smelt the material rather 374 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 6: than you paying them. So we are losing competitively and 375 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 6: it'll be business by business, industry by industry, and we're 376 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 6: going to see it with our smelting industry now in 377 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 6: this country. 378 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Ian, plym up for your time. 379 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 2: And still to come.

Right, she said, using the term boys 443 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 11: and girls is inappropriate. She she said, call for reparations 444 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 11: and said that that this country's built a white supremacy 445 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 11: on the black of. 446 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 5: Blacks. 447 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 11: No, she is a hard leftist and NPR has had 448 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 11: this problem for years. Look, they had a huge controversy 449 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 11: last year, right, and they could have brought in somebody 450 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,239 Speaker 11: forget about conservative you can never ask for that.

They brought in Catherine Marr right 453 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 11: look at their headquarters. They said there was eighty seven 454 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 11: editors who affiliated as part of the Democratic Party and 455 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 11: not a single person affiliated the Republican Party. 456 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:55,640 Speaker 5: That's a problem. 457 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 11: It's why people look at them and say, how are 458 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 11: we funding this?

That's how sick and problematic this whole 509 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 11: thing has become. But specifically talking about the the the 510 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 11: the the the release in the thousands of hours of childborn. Look, 511 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 11: the truth is this was very much mishandled by Pam 512 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 11: Bondi and the d O j Okay, let's start with that. 513 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 11: I'm not sure it would have avoid this whole problem, 514 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,239 Speaker 11: because again, conspiracy theorists cannot be convinced that their at 515 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 11: the air of their way, they're wrong. But she really 516 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 11: really mishandled this beginning with if you remember earlier in 517 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 11: the year, she brought all these kind of like young, 518 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 11: you know, influencers who were kind naive to the White 519 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 11: House and gave them the binders, right like, look, we've 520 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 11: got the binders. 521 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 5: We're gonna release all the information. 522 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 11: And they raised it above their head and she humiliated 523 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,479 Speaker 11: them because there was nothing in those binders. She just 524 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 11: gave two hundred pages of contact info and list of 525 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 11: people that we had for years, public information for years. 526 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 11: So yeah, a lot of people were saying, well, you 527 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 11: said this was everything, but this is clearly this is 528 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 11: stuff has been in the public view for a long time. 529 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 11: It fueled, unfortunately, the conspiracy theories, and now it's being 530 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 11: weaponized actually also against Trump. You know, these are Trump 531 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 11: supporters who are doing this so weird. They're saying that 532 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 11: he's trying to cover up his role in this, that 533 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 11: he's probably mentioned that's why. 534 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 5: He's not releasing it. 535 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 11: Look, you know how I know that's not true because 536 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 11: the Biden administration and the Democrats have had this information 537 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 11: during the Biden administration and didn't release it. If there 538 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 11: was any way of them to hang Trump for something, 539 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 11: lest they would have released it, they didn't because he's 540 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 11: not in it. Yet they're still using that to attack Trump. Look, 541 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 11: we don't know exactly what these thousands of hours, but 542 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,479 Speaker 11: what we're told is in it is just child pornography. Right, 543 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 11: there's no list of people in office or powerful people. 544 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 5: We know that doesn't exist. 545 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 11: Dershwitz says that it doesn't exist, and he was Eptein's lawyer. Yeah, 546 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 11: the whole thing is just incredible, and it's showing these 547 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 11: riffs we see even on the right, and it's just interesting. 548 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 2: Unless something like this is dealt with properly or tied 549 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 2: it up properly, it just feels like this pace of 550 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 2: string is going to go on forever. 551 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 3: So I'm not quite sure how they fix that. 552 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 2: But another niggel for President Trump, and it's his romance 553 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 2: break up with Alon Musk. Apparently Alon has changed his 554 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 2: phone number. Here is Mike Johnson speaking with Miranda Devine. 555 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 13: I'm trying to be a peacemaker and all, and I've 556 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 13: reached out to Elon multiple times since the blow up. Yes, 557 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 13: and I wanted he and the President to mend it up, 558 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 13: and frankly, I think the President was of that mind 559 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 13: as well. I sent him a long text message and 560 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 13: then his phone his number changed because after the blow up, 561 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 13: he something happened with his day. So I got the 562 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 13: number later and realized I was sending it out into 563 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 13: the ether or somewhere. He never read it. So I 564 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 13: look forward to meeting with him in person. We got 565 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 13: to make that right. I got nothing against Elon. 566 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 2: Is this just a distraction from core business for the 567 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 2: government or is there anything here that actually needs explaining? 568 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 11: Now there is something to this, I think what it 569 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 11: does do aside from the rift, look Elon Muslay and 570 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 11: he's going to create a third party of the American Party, 571 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 11: which would obviously hurt the Republican Party going forward. If 572 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 11: we're going to have this rift inside the party. Put 573 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 11: that aside. It does point to the larger issue when 574 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 11: it comes to tech bros. And what they want and 575 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 11: whether or not their alliance and support of Trump was 576 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 11: temporary or long lasting. 577 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 5: Look the driving fact there's a number of. 578 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 11: Factions in the Republican Party, and one of them are 579 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 11: are the tech giants, and they want something different than 580 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 11: a lot of people Republican Party because they're looking for 581 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 11: different perspectives. Some of his personal some of his economics, 582 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 11: some of it is based on defense. 583 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 5: They're looking for subsidization. 584 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 11: Of of industries and they're looking for deregulation. 585 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 5: Those are their two main issues. 586 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: Uh. 587 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 11: And look and some of it, I can see where 588 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 11: they're coming from. For example, they they they think the 589 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 11: only way to fight to fight China on AI is 590 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 11: up subsidizing the R and D with it. Right, whether 591 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 11: or not you agree with that, like, I get that perspective. Uh, 592 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 11: they want deregulation. They think that's going to spur our economy. 593 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 11: And specifically with with with Elon Musk, I think there 594 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 11: is something to the fact that this split happened because 595 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 11: of his interest in what we just talked about, specifically 596 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 11: with Tesla. That he was upset with the president when 597 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 11: he didn't renew the EV mandates and he didn't didn't 598 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 11: renew the subsidies to buy EV's. 599 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 5: I think that's obviously a significant part of his business. 600 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,239 Speaker 11: I think he was upset with the president for that 601 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 11: and also the fact that he's afraid of a lawsuits 602 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 11: because when it comes to Tesla monopoly issue that Tesla may. 603 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 5: Have in this business. 604 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 11: So yeah, no, I think there's there is a reality 605 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 11: to it, and I think it's going to affect Republican Party. 606 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 2: Still on the economy, and we've seen a inflation uptick, 607 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 2: and the rumors about Federal Reserve chaired your own power, 608 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 2: that he might not have his job for much longer. 609 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 3: Trump has since denied this. What's actually going on? 610 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 11: Yeah, this is this could be an own goal by 611 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 11: the president. I think it's a huge mistake to fire 612 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 11: Drome Powell. First of all, I'm not sure he has. 613 00:33:58,280 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 11: In fact, I don't know he has. He doesn't have 614 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,959 Speaker 11: the legal authority to do it. 615 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 5: But look, he's a president. 616 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 11: He wants easy money, right most presidents do, because it 617 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 11: perks up the economy. It also causes inflation. We just 618 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 11: saw an uptick inflation. We had a number of good 619 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 11: news when it came to inflation prior, but now we're 620 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 11: seeing it creep up again. And I think it's directly tied, 621 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 11: frankly to the tariffs. I think that's what's creeping up inflation. 622 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 11: And I think he's trying to counter that by the 623 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 11: president is by wanting to have a lower rates, like 624 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,880 Speaker 11: I said, because it's going to pump up give artificial 625 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 11: stimulus the economy. But that's not what we need right 626 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 11: all presidents want that because they're looking for that economic stimulus. 627 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 5: But that's not. 628 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 11: Necessarily good for the economy at times. Sometimes it is 629 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,720 Speaker 11: right now, it's not when inflation is kind of coming 630 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 11: up again. And what you're seeing is trying to get around. Look, 631 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:52,439 Speaker 11: the only way a president can remove remove the head 632 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,840 Speaker 11: of the FED is what they call for cause. In 633 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 11: other words, he had to have done something illegal or 634 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 11: significantly problematic, not because of policy difference. 635 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 5: You cannot legally remove over. 636 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 11: That because it's an independent body, right, it's not connected 637 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 11: to the government. And now you see kind of his 638 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 11: out the president's allies trying to find these weird ways 639 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 11: to say we can remove them for cause, and they're 640 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 11: pointing out to one thing specifically where he's doing a 641 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,839 Speaker 11: renovation of the FED headquarters, and they're starting saying, well, 642 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 11: you didn't get all the improvements approved by Congress like 643 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,799 Speaker 11: you're supposed to, so that's the reason why we're going 644 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 11: to have your removed. It's ridiculous, it's gonna make the 645 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,240 Speaker 11: president look bad. There's no need to do it, really, 646 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 11: you don't have to do it. And he's had all 647 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 11: the success the president had, win after win after win, 648 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 11: the people opposing him are going to point to that 649 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 11: if he does that as saying, see anti democratic, he's 650 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 11: going against the laws. 651 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 5: And the president of the need that won't help him. 652 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 5: I think it's some mistake. 653 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 3: And sometimes the best thing to do is nothing. 654 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 6: Now. 655 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 3: Once to the New York mayoral. 656 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 2: Wi Rice and the big wigs on Wall Street aren't 657 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 2: necessarily enamored with the Democratic nominees or on Mandami. 658 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 3: How's that going to play out? 659 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 5: Look? 660 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 11: You know it's uh, I guess we're gonna be talking 661 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 11: about Donnie for a long time, at least through the 662 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 11: year and hopefully not further, but possibly because he's leading 663 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 11: the polls. 664 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 5: Uh. Yeah, you know. It was this weird meeting. 665 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,400 Speaker 11: He sat down with all the big wigs, all the billionaires, 666 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,479 Speaker 11: all the industry leaders in New York. 667 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:28,880 Speaker 5: It didn't go well, I mean did he? 668 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 11: But you know he basically every time I'm Donnie is 669 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 11: asked something, right. 670 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 5: That is difficult. 671 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 11: He has this ability to speak in long paragraphs that 672 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 11: don't actually say anything like they asked them pointed questions. 673 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 5: And he simply just avoided it. 674 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 11: He's able to speak in pithy, succinct terms when he's 675 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,320 Speaker 11: talking about his radicalism right, and his Marxism is any Semitism. 676 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,720 Speaker 11: He does that well, but he's actually faced with tough questions, 677 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,439 Speaker 11: he goes to the you know, Kamala Harris world word 678 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 11: slid mode because he's just trying to he's just trying 679 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,840 Speaker 11: to play out the clock, right, but it's talking in 680 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 11: a long winded way, and I think everybody in that 681 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 11: meeting really got nothing out of it. The reality is, 682 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 11: look I said it by my hot take is I 683 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 11: don't think he's gonna win. I think ultimately he's leading 684 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:18,360 Speaker 11: the polls because the poll is being split right between 685 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 11: Cuomo and the current mayor, Eric Adams. I think ultimately 686 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,160 Speaker 11: what's gonna happen is those same billionaires that Mondie was 687 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:31,880 Speaker 11: speaking to, who had supported Cuomo significantly with millions and 688 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 11: millions of dollars in the Democratic primary, are something going 689 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 11: to have a conversation with Cuomo, who is at this 690 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 11: point not backing down because he is one of the 691 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:43,799 Speaker 11: he really has one of the largest egos in all 692 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,880 Speaker 11: of politics. That says a lot, right, and they're gonna say, look, 693 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 11: if you want a history, if you want I'm sorry, 694 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,800 Speaker 11: if you want an abillion to come back at all ever, 695 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,560 Speaker 11: for any other race, you got to back down from this. Right, 696 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 11: We'll support you for other things, but you're clearly not 697 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 11: going to win this race. Back out, Let's let's be 698 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,839 Speaker 11: a one on one. And I think if that's the case, 699 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,359 Speaker 11: Dad's going to lose. I think Eric Adam's way don't love, 700 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,760 Speaker 11: but he is obviously in the lesser of two evils, 701 00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 11: I think will win. And I think that's what how 702 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 11: it's going to play out. 703 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 2: And I think anyone who doesn't want government run supermarkets 704 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,319 Speaker 2: is probably on the right track, particularly. 705 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:21,480 Speaker 3: In the US. 706 00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:21,879 Speaker 6: Now. 707 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 2: Lastly, there's been a huge focus obviously throughout the West 708 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 2: since October seven on this apparent genocide in Gaza. But 709 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 2: in recent recent days we've seen all these reports emerging 710 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:35,399 Speaker 2: out Assyria about the massacre of Jews Drus populations by 711 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:39,840 Speaker 2: the Jihadis who deposed the Assad regime. So what's happening 712 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 2: in Syria? And where are the protests in the West. 713 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:49,480 Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, it's so funny there's no protests in 714 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:49,719 Speaker 11: the West. 715 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 5: Look, it reminds me of you know, there's never there's 716 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 5: never an outcry from the left. 717 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,520 Speaker 11: On like black and black violence intercedes right that ever, 718 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:57,880 Speaker 11: Like look, We have to put a stop of this 719 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 11: because the vast majority of black deaths in America are 720 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:05,400 Speaker 11: from other black people. Now it's only when the rare circumstances, 721 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 11: when there's wet on black death. 722 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 5: Very similar. 723 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 6: Look, the. 724 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:17,439 Speaker 11: Violence committed between sectarian violence, Muslim to Muslim violence is legion, right, 725 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 11: and it's in the millions of people who have died 726 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 11: in recent years, right. Just I mean you had in 727 00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 11: the Syrian Civil war, get nearly three quarters of a 728 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,759 Speaker 11: million people who were killed. Isis killed over was one 729 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 11: hundred thousand people in Iraq and Syria. 730 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,319 Speaker 5: You heard nothing from the West when it came to that. 731 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,840 Speaker 11: But when it comes to Israel, when it comes to 732 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 11: the Jews, who kill less than in the course of battle, right, 733 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:45,919 Speaker 11: have not have killed less than fifty thousand people, half 734 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 11: of them combatants, right, which, by the way, I want 735 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 11: to stress again, is an unprecedented number of urban warfare. 736 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:53,800 Speaker 5: We're in urban warfare. 737 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:58,719 Speaker 11: The Urban Warfare Institute has said that ninety percent of 738 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,720 Speaker 11: urban warfare deaths or civil in this case is fifty percent. 739 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,400 Speaker 11: I think that speaks volumes how careful Israel is. No, 740 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 11: there's not a peep about it. Only you see attacks 741 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,960 Speaker 11: on Israel. I think the whole incident is fascinating. And 742 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,840 Speaker 11: I'll be quick, is that Syria. I don't know what 743 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 11: they're doing. I mean, Syria hasn't the new regime has 744 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:22,120 Speaker 11: an ability to come to to polite society and to 745 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 11: the West, and Trump has created a piece deal with them. 746 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 11: They allowed Israel to overfly Syria to attack you Ron. 747 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,360 Speaker 11: They had an ability to come to the table, to 748 00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,960 Speaker 11: moderate and be part of the Western and the and 749 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 11: the general world. And now they're they they're squandering that 750 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:42,000 Speaker 11: by murdering these drus who are who are fellow Arabs 751 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,560 Speaker 11: and who's coming their defense Israel. Israel is coming to 752 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 11: the defense of Arabs who are not Israelies because they 753 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:48,759 Speaker 11: want to. 754 00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,160 Speaker 5: Put the slaughter to it end. I think the whole 755 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:50,840 Speaker 5: thing is fascinating. 756 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 11: Of course, Israel get no credit from these Western jihadis. 757 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,480 Speaker 2: No, but it's very very interesting to watch it play out, 758 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:03,280 Speaker 2: and very interesting to watch the hypocrisy of the silence. 759 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,360 Speaker 2: Army Horovitz, thank you so much for your time and 760 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,959 Speaker 2: still to come to Kardashian sisters are on the outer 761 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,240 Speaker 2: with their brother Brody, and it's not just the Kardashians. 762 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,600 Speaker 2: Baseball legend Shaquille O'Neill has also found himself in a 763 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:16,200 Speaker 2: bit of a tip. 764 00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:27,480 Speaker 3: Welcome back to the show. 765 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,840 Speaker 2: Joining me now is Sky and Hiss contributor Louise Roberts. Louise, 766 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,720 Speaker 2: Harry's been in in Angola this week, you know, following 767 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,839 Speaker 2: in the footsteps of Princess Diana. What's his trip all 768 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,680 Speaker 2: about and is it any more than a beij imitation. 769 00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 10: Well, Caro, the Halo Trust is something that Harry's been 770 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 10: involved with for about fifteen years now, I think, and 771 00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:51,120 Speaker 10: he's been patron of it since about twenty nineteen, so 772 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 10: it's not his first trip to Angola. But the difference 773 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,239 Speaker 10: this time is that he's going to be walking the 774 00:41:56,320 --> 00:42:00,840 Speaker 10: exact route that his mother, Diana did in nineteen ninety seven, 775 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,400 Speaker 10: where the images, I mean, we're so used to seeing 776 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,759 Speaker 10: them now, but at the time they were absolutely a 777 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,279 Speaker 10: blockbuster sort of revelation, the fact that she was in 778 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,319 Speaker 10: such a dangerous area and it was so profound and 779 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,319 Speaker 10: brave of Diana to do this, and of course it 780 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:19,439 Speaker 10: led to an international ban on landmines. So the fact 781 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 10: that he's doing the same walk, he's very nostalgic and look, 782 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 10: it is a bit of a carbon copy of what. 783 00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:24,319 Speaker 3: His mother did. 784 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,360 Speaker 10: But I don't really have an issue with it because 785 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,480 Speaker 10: I think Harry should be doing more in the space 786 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 10: of Diana's legacy. It's such a great thing to see 787 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:34,520 Speaker 10: him working on charities where there is an impact globally, 788 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 10: rather than sort of complaining about his life or throwing 789 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:38,760 Speaker 10: his family under a bus. 790 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:40,360 Speaker 3: So it'd be interesting to. 791 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,400 Speaker 10: See what coverage comes out of it, though, because he 792 00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,200 Speaker 10: has banned I believe the UK press he wants the 793 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,440 Speaker 10: message to come through his own channels rather than I 794 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,520 Speaker 10: guess the filter of Fleet Street. And of course Megan's 795 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:55,439 Speaker 10: not going either, citing safety concerns. But to be honest, 796 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,720 Speaker 10: that's more about Halo being his brand and not her brand, 797 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:00,879 Speaker 10: because their careers are quite separate now, as. 798 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:05,080 Speaker 2: You know, be very interesting to see how that all 799 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,120 Speaker 2: gets framed afterwards. Still with the rules, and we've heard 800 00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,360 Speaker 2: much about this not so secret secret meeting between the 801 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:12,800 Speaker 2: King and Harry's top aides. 802 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,839 Speaker 3: There's been a suggestion that Megan could join in. 803 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,560 Speaker 2: The royal peace talks, and is there any sign of 804 00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:19,719 Speaker 2: Prince William weighing in? 805 00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 10: Well, the rehabilitation of Megan continues, doesn't it Carow, So 806 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 10: it's no accident that her name has been mentioned in 807 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:32,480 Speaker 10: regard to these talks. But I'm certain that Willim would 808 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,600 Speaker 10: want nothing to do with that, of course, And it's 809 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,560 Speaker 10: interesting that he wasn't even told about the talks and 810 00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,279 Speaker 10: there was no request to his team to have one 811 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:44,200 Speaker 10: of his representatives there at the club just near Clarence House. 812 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 10: They would be very cautious about in being involved in 813 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,160 Speaker 10: these talks and being certainly being papped in that situation 814 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,160 Speaker 10: as well. And on that note, I believe Harry and 815 00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,520 Speaker 10: Meghan are quote frustrated that there were pictures of this 816 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,480 Speaker 10: secret talk. It's also interesting that Harry seems to be 817 00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:03,400 Speaker 10: going straight to the monarch, his father and by passing 818 00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,399 Speaker 10: his brother as the heir completely, which will give some 819 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:10,080 Speaker 10: indication of where the true tension I think lies in 820 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:14,120 Speaker 10: this dynamic. But let's hope it's a positive move forward 821 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,440 Speaker 10: and not just another sort of mist photo opportunity as 822 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:16,759 Speaker 10: it were. 823 00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,799 Speaker 2: And Luis, do you think though, that part of this 824 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,359 Speaker 2: is that I think you know and that it's happening now, 825 00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:28,040 Speaker 2: is that Harry knows that that conversation needs to happen 826 00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,920 Speaker 2: with the King, and probably sooner rather than later, because 827 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,719 Speaker 2: once the king's passed, I think they're to be even 828 00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 2: more difficult for there to be that reconciliation. 829 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:38,960 Speaker 3: I agree. I mean it's a conversation. 830 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,840 Speaker 10: He has to drive, he has to extend that olive branch, 831 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,919 Speaker 10: and he has to make peace with his father because, 832 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,200 Speaker 10: as you say, once Charles has passed on, there's. 833 00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:49,560 Speaker 3: No opportunity for Harry to do that. 834 00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,520 Speaker 10: And I think William's made it pretty clear that he 835 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,399 Speaker 10: won't be cutting him any slack in that department as well. 836 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,600 Speaker 10: He's learned to operate within the royal framework without his 837 00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:00,839 Speaker 10: younger brother for all sorts of reasons. That's a very 838 00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,000 Speaker 10: sad situation for the brothers. But Harry really has to 839 00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:05,360 Speaker 10: patch things up with his father. 840 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:09,600 Speaker 2: As you say, now, it won't surprise you that there's 841 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,719 Speaker 2: a drama in the Kardashian household this time. 842 00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:13,239 Speaker 3: Two of the. 843 00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,760 Speaker 2: Sisters have skipped their brother, Brody's wedding. 844 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 3: What's happened here? 845 00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,439 Speaker 10: So Brody Jenna is a pro surfer and he got 846 00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:24,520 Speaker 10: married at the weekend. Now, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, of course, 847 00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:28,240 Speaker 10: are his half sisters. They share the same father, Caitlyn Jenna, 848 00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:30,680 Speaker 10: and they did not attend the wedding. 849 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,279 Speaker 3: There was some sort of clash with. 850 00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:34,840 Speaker 10: Schedule or they didn't want to make the wedding about 851 00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:38,720 Speaker 10: them and sort of true Kardashian fashion, But it's really 852 00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:43,520 Speaker 10: more about a decade's long feud between Caitlin's ex wives. 853 00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:47,360 Speaker 10: Of course, there's Brody's mother, Linda Thompson, and there's Kylie 854 00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:51,160 Speaker 10: and Kendall's mother Chris Jenna, who apparently don't see eye 855 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,719 Speaker 10: to eye and have not done for some time. So 856 00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:58,080 Speaker 10: the girls decided to sort of quietly admit themselves from 857 00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:01,000 Speaker 10: the spectacle. It was the wedding. Caitlin of course attended 858 00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,000 Speaker 10: because it is her son getting married, But yeah, less 859 00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,040 Speaker 10: about an RSVP situation, more about trying to keep the peace. 860 00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:10,320 Speaker 10: I think Kylie very much sees herself in the Kardashian camp. 861 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,160 Speaker 10: I think Kendall tries to sort of broker the piece 862 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,760 Speaker 10: and maybe be a bit neutral. And then there's their brother, 863 00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:19,040 Speaker 10: of course, who's very angry about everything, intends to blame 864 00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:20,839 Speaker 10: Chris for a lot of the drama. Of course he's 865 00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:22,960 Speaker 10: going to side with his own mother. But as you say, 866 00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:26,120 Speaker 10: it wouldn't be a Kardashian by extension wedding unless there 867 00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:27,120 Speaker 10: was some kind of drama. 868 00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,200 Speaker 3: It happens in every family, though, doesn't it. 869 00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,520 Speaker 2: Now, speaking of there's been plenty of coverage and commentary 870 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:38,120 Speaker 2: around the Sanchez Bezos wedding, and even Sarah Jessica Parker 871 00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:41,120 Speaker 2: of Sex in the City fame. She reacted to that 872 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:42,200 Speaker 2: Vogue front cover. 873 00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:46,400 Speaker 11: Lauren Sanchez Besos grasing the cover of Vogue. 874 00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:47,840 Speaker 5: Hello, lover or leave it? 875 00:46:50,360 --> 00:47:00,919 Speaker 14: I I mean, why shouldn't she? I was r she is, well, 876 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:02,520 Speaker 14: had a row unity. 877 00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,799 Speaker 3: She held it in, well, didn't she? That was a 878 00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:07,960 Speaker 3: very carefully measured response, wasn't it. 879 00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:08,239 Speaker 10: Caro. 880 00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:11,440 Speaker 3: That's some media training we're seeing there as well. 881 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:14,480 Speaker 10: And look, she's not going no matter her thoughts on 882 00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:17,160 Speaker 10: the wedding and the cover of Vogue, She's not going 883 00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:18,880 Speaker 10: to take on the wife of one of the richest 884 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:20,279 Speaker 10: men in the world, is she, and sort of be 885 00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,400 Speaker 10: rude to her, which was good to say that she 886 00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,680 Speaker 10: was being quite diplomatic. And of course SJP herself knows 887 00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:28,240 Speaker 10: the value of a Vogue cover. It's not just about 888 00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,880 Speaker 10: the ink and the paper. It's very much a state 889 00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,960 Speaker 10: of symbol. And of course her character, Carrie Bradshaw, is 890 00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,600 Speaker 10: all about Vogue and writes for Vogue and has her 891 00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:39,720 Speaker 10: doomed first wedding with mister Bigg in the Vogue issue 892 00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,680 Speaker 10: as well, with Cannersbergen as her editor. Eat, it's a great, 893 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,759 Speaker 10: a great episode for that. But yeah, very diplomatic, and 894 00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:48,839 Speaker 10: I don't think she'll be off their Christmas card list 895 00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:50,440 Speaker 10: anytime soon, which is probably good for her. 896 00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:51,960 Speaker 1: No. 897 00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:53,840 Speaker 3: I thought she handled that very very well. 898 00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,360 Speaker 2: It's still in the US and Basketball Hall of Famous 899 00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 2: Sequille O'Neil. Well, he's had a bust up with former 900 00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,200 Speaker 2: NFL star Robin Griffin the Third. 901 00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,040 Speaker 3: What's this all over? So this is interesting. 902 00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:08,520 Speaker 10: So we've got Shaquille O'Neill threatening to punch Robert Griffin 903 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:10,840 Speaker 10: the third, who's an NFL play so not even the 904 00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:17,920 Speaker 10: same sport really over two female sort of basketball legends 905 00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:21,319 Speaker 10: who apparently dislike each other immensely. And there's been a 906 00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:24,480 Speaker 10: lot of racism accusations around there. There's been terms used 907 00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:26,360 Speaker 10: which will be quite offensive. I'm not going to repeat 908 00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:29,399 Speaker 10: them here. But and of course Robert Griffin, IID has 909 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,160 Speaker 10: said he's speaking his truth, and look, I always get 910 00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:34,680 Speaker 10: very concerned when a celebrity says that, because it doesn't 911 00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:37,719 Speaker 10: actually mean they're operating from a factual basis, it's more 912 00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:39,680 Speaker 10: about their interpretation of the facts. 913 00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:41,120 Speaker 3: So it's a bit of a mess. 914 00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,440 Speaker 10: It's got beyond a bit of a social media spack 915 00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:47,359 Speaker 10: between these two and protecting the two female stars, and 916 00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:51,439 Speaker 10: more about responsibility on social media platforms and making sure 917 00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:55,640 Speaker 10: that you're respectful and not getting involved in rouse or 918 00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,719 Speaker 10: stoking up rivalry between female plays when you have no 919 00:48:58,840 --> 00:48:59,560 Speaker 10: place to do so. 920 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:05,040 Speaker 2: And funny when you've had all that media training Compared 921 00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,760 Speaker 2: to the last story we've just talked about, these guys 922 00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:11,200 Speaker 2: are not green and it's amazing the scuffle that they 923 00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:14,360 Speaker 2: found themselves in. And lastly, big celebrity news out of 924 00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:18,800 Speaker 2: the UK yesterday with former Harry potterstar Emma Watson losing her. 925 00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:20,120 Speaker 3: License for speeding. 926 00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,440 Speaker 2: Nice change from some of the two tier policing that 927 00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:25,839 Speaker 2: we can often observe. 928 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,200 Speaker 3: Over in the UK. What's happened here is she. 929 00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,880 Speaker 10: Remorseful, Well, she didn't turn up in court, so it 930 00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:34,480 Speaker 10: was a five minute hearing and the fine was equivalent 931 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,080 Speaker 10: of just over two thousand dollars Australian, and her lawyer 932 00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,680 Speaker 10: told the court well she could pay it, which clearly 933 00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:42,120 Speaker 10: she can because she's a wealthy celebrity, although she sort 934 00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,360 Speaker 10: of moved beyond the acting now and she's now a 935 00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:46,400 Speaker 10: thirty five year old writing student. 936 00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:47,000 Speaker 3: I believe. 937 00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:49,600 Speaker 10: So the system there's a bit different than in that 938 00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:52,280 Speaker 10: you actually accrue points and then you lose your license 939 00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,760 Speaker 10: rather than our demerit system here. So she had already 940 00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:56,720 Speaker 10: had nine points and sort of speeding. 941 00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:57,759 Speaker 3: She was about twelve. 942 00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:00,320 Speaker 10: K's twelve k's over lem and I believe that's what 943 00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:04,720 Speaker 10: sort of sealed her fate a driving band for six months. 944 00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:06,759 Speaker 10: I mean, she can probably afford a chauffeur, so it 945 00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,799 Speaker 10: won't impact her too much. But it's interesting because there 946 00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,960 Speaker 10: a whole brand prior to this has been very much 947 00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,920 Speaker 10: a gen Z role model and a UN ambassador and 948 00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:17,920 Speaker 10: sort of talking about a lot of wake issues. So 949 00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,239 Speaker 10: it's a bit of a departure from the image, I think, 950 00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,759 Speaker 10: isn't it. What Thank you very much, Louise Roberts, and 951 00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,440 Speaker 10: that's it from me up next to his newsnight, Good night,
