My panel will unpack that. 6 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:20,280 Speaker 3: Shortly. 7 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 4: Premier just In to Alan may be celebrating Melbourne being 8 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 4: ranked the best city in the world, but Clister Clements 9 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 4: joins me to explain why the prize is an irrelevant joke. 10 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 4: Mi Horowitz will have the latest from the US, including 11 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 4: some good news from DC, and we'll have the latest 12 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 4: on publishing Big Week, Anthony Cuttonlando's legal issues. He's facing 13 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 4: serious allegations. Stephen Drill will have the latest there and 14 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,520 Speaker 4: we never forget lefties losing it tonight, featuring the Oscars 15 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 4: and our favorite little Swedish troll. 16 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 5: The Pedophile. Trump himself bragged about it, saying there's an embargo, 17 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 5: there is no oil, there's no money, there's no anything. 18 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 4: But let's start with News Corp reporting that a TikTok 19 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 4: account linked to a controversial Melbourne mosque posted a video 20 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 4: of multiple ballat papers backing labor MP Julian Hill a 21 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 4: week before Pauling Day last year. Now All six ballot 22 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:21,559 Speaker 4: papers displayed in the video show first preferences for Julian Hill, 23 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 4: with either the Liberal candidate or One Nation candidate preference last, 24 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 4: and the video carries the caption our vote for mister 25 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 4: Julian Hill, MP for the Division of Bruce Victoria. This 26 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 4: mosque was handed a six hundred and seventy thousand dollars 27 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 4: taxpayer funded grand by Julian Hill before last year's federal election. 28 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 4: That grant to the Taha Center was only canceled this 29 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 4: month after News Corp revealed the group held a commemoration 30 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 4: for Iran's former Supreme Leader Itola Ali Komeni. Let's bring 31 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 4: in former Labour MP Michael Danby and PR Council Managing 32 00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 4: Director Christian McSweeney. 33 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 3: Mike, what do you make of this story? 34 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 4: Is there anything at all improper about a center like 35 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 4: this endorsing a political candidate and in encouraging others to 36 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:11,119 Speaker 4: vote for him. 37 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 6: Well, there is. George Orwell said that some animals are equal, 38 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 6: but other animals are more equal than others, and this 39 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 6: is outrageous to sort of have a religious institution backing 40 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 6: a political candidate. In Australia. We have the system we 41 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 6: should explain to them of church and state not mixing, 42 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 6: and particularly if you're an ethical religious person, you believe 43 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 6: against mixing the sacred with the profane eye with politics. 44 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 4: Now, Christia, a spokesperson for the a C Strat and 45 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 4: Electoral Commission, would not say whether they would investigate the video, 46 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 4: but we do have Dan Tea and Coalition front bencher 47 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 4: calling for Special Minister of State Don Farrell to refer 48 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 4: the video to Parliament's Electoral Matters Committee. 49 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 3: Do you think anything more will cut of this? 50 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 7: I don't think anything more will come of it. I 51 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 7: think the government's view as well withdrawn the grant funding, 52 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 7: but they we drew it. 53 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 4: This center decided to have a commemoration for a Islamist dictator. 54 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 7: Which is disgraceful. And that's another point, isn't it. There 55 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 7: are a lot of comments out there in the media 56 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 7: with people trying to be politically correct saying he's a 57 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 7: religious figure they are able to mourn him. He is 58 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 7: an imposed dictator on the people of Iran, and Michael 59 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 7: to your point, absolutely. 60 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 4: And Christy, sorry to interrupt, but a dictator who has 61 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 4: just slaughtered tens of thousands of innocent protesters, so We're 62 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 4: not talking about just someone who's an Islamist leader. This 63 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 4: is one that is guilty of gross human rights abuse. 64 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 8: It's not religious at all. 65 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 7: I don't think it is inappropriate to mourn someone under 66 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 7: the guise of figurehead in this country who wish a dictator. 67 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 68 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 4: Now I'll be covering the conflict in Iran with Army 69 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 4: Horowitz after the break. But it appears the US has 70 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 4: wiped out the bulk of Iran's military infrastructure. But Michael, 71 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 4: we've got the APC here in Australia saying Iran has 72 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 4: the advantage in this war. This is the analysis from 73 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 4: ABC's Global Affairs editor Laura Tingle, who's Peace Speeches the 74 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,239 Speaker 4: headline Iran, not the US, currently has the strategic upper hand, 75 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,239 Speaker 4: and she also adds it was Iran that was able 76 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 4: to shake the foundations of economies across the region that 77 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 4: depend on oil and gas, but which are now having 78 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 4: to close down production while fighting off drone and missile 79 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 4: attacks on their production facilities. She also wrote, iran struck 80 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 4: further blows to the sense of stability and confidence on 81 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 4: which Golf states have built successful economies. 82 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 3: Gosh, Michael, what reading back do you think Iran is 83 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 3: winning the war. 84 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 6: Laura Tingle was a specialist in domestic policy. It's clear 85 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 6: to any expert who follows her over time that basically 86 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 6: she doesn't know what she's talking about with international affairs. 87 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 6: And the United States has seen ninety percent reduction in 88 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 6: ballistic missiles, eighty percent plus in drones. They've destroyed the 89 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 6: Iranian Air Force, Navy, and air defense. And America is 90 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 6: not reliant on oil imports because it's oil self sufficient 91 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 6: under Trump, Plus he has the swing factor of Venezuela. 92 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 6: It's a much more mixed picture mist tingled than you're 93 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 6: painting it. And I think trumped arrangement syndrome dictates all 94 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 6: of the ABC international analysts and inverted Commas views of 95 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 6: the world. It's just rubbish, and we pay one point 96 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 6: three million dollars for it. One point three billion. 97 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 4: Another member of the Iranian women's football team has chosen 98 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 4: to return to Iran. The Australian has confirmed that team 99 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 4: captain Zara Ganbari has already left Australia. Comes less than 100 00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 4: a day after allegations emerged that a regime aligned team 101 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 4: official had infiltrated the safe house to convinced defectors to 102 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 4: reconsider their decision to seek asylum. Christie, this is just 103 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 4: such a sinister development. These women must be terrified of 104 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 4: what will happen to their loved ones, to their families 105 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 4: back in Iran if they pursue asylum in Australia. I 106 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 4: can't think of any other reason why they would seek 107 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 4: asylum and then return to Iran knowing the threats they're facing. 108 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 7: It's an absolutely tragic situation and it demonstrates the tentacles 109 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 7: of the regime in Australia, both through the people that 110 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 7: they brought with them as minders, but the people in 111 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 7: the network they have on the ground here to get 112 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,799 Speaker 7: to these women and make these allegedly probably make these threats. 113 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 7: And of course there's a murkier aspect of this as well. 114 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 7: The vice president of the Asian Confederation is the Iranian 115 00:06:54,839 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 7: football president who has allegedly been a former regime commander 116 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 7: in the nineteen eighty So it's a murky political game 117 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 7: that FIFA is playing here in Australia as well. And 118 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 7: we have our government, our diplomats trying really hard to 119 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 7: do the right thing by these women. 120 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 6: Reader's probably a mistake they have Tony Burke stand between 121 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 6: the five of them when they first affected in that 122 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 6: photo opportunity because it gave the regime leverage to sort 123 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 6: of use it. You know, you're being exploited by the 124 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 6: Australian government. 125 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 8: Which is what they said. 126 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 7: They accused the Australian government of bullying these vulnerable women 127 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 7: who wouldn't have exposure to political issues. Of course, because 128 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 7: they're women, they don't know what I'm doing. 129 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 4: And in that picture, as any Uranian woman who seeks 130 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 4: asylum would normally do, is they took off the hijab. 131 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 4: They were featured standing there with Tony Burke with their 132 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 4: hair on show, which may not seem like a big 133 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 4: deal here, but it's a big deal back in Iran. 134 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 4: So you wonder the ramifications of that, the ramifications of 135 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 4: embarrassing the regime by seeking asylum in the first place. 136 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 3: So I really do fear about. 137 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 4: I'm sure they've been assured that they're going to be okay, 138 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 4: and that's possibly why they've chosen to go home, But 139 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 4: I do think that there would have been coerced that 140 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 4: their families would have been threatened, Their loved ones would 141 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 4: have definitely been under threat, analyisk returned to Melbourne. An 142 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 4: international student who was busted filming up to one hundred 143 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 4: and fifty Melbourne women in toilets has walked scot free 144 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 4: from court. The twenty three year old Vietnamese man told 145 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 4: police that he was in the female toilets because he 146 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 4: wasn't sure about his gender. During the sentencing, the judge 147 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 4: said his youth should be taken into account. He's twenty three, Christy. 148 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 4: Since he avoided a conviction, he can now pursue his 149 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 4: dream of becoming a doctor, something for Victorian women. 150 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,719 Speaker 3: To look forward to. Absolutely, what is happening and how 151 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 3: does the IMA do with that? 152 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 9: Now? 153 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 4: There is no conviction recorded, so that and I do 154 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 4: wonder what the motivations for was. Was it so he 155 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 4: could pursue this medical dream? Is it so he wouldn't 156 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 4: be deported? Because these charges are serious? 157 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 8: It's incredible, isn't it? 158 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,719 Speaker 7: And apparently I read in reports that this is the 159 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,679 Speaker 7: second time he's committed such an offense and the second 160 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 7: community corrections order. 161 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 4: I'm not sure, and we're talking about one hundred and 162 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 4: fifty women who were upskirted or violated. It is Michael, 163 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 4: I just can't get my head around this. Even if 164 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 4: his alleged gender confusion is real and he thought he's 165 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 4: a woman and he wasn't sure women aren't allowed to 166 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 4: violate other women in bathrooms alreadywhere else. That's that to me, 167 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 4: doesn't in any way mitigate these. 168 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 6: Even if it's not the second conviction one hundred and 169 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 6: twenty three incidents of this, meaning he shouldn't have been 170 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 6: released like that. And the real question, reader is who 171 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 6: are these woke magistrates and judges? What is their history, 172 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 6: what have they done in other cases? I think all 173 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 6: the journalists need to sort of go back and start 174 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 6: looking at the people who are making these crazy judgment. 175 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 4: When you when you're right about judges, I tell you, 176 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 4: the backlash can be quite pronounced after I had comped it. 177 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 4: But these are appointments pretty much for life, so I 178 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 4: think they you should be able to criticize them, as 179 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 4: long as the criticism it is fair and based on facts. 180 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 8: Considerable public pensions as. 181 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 4: Well, considerable public pensions, and we've had labor rule this 182 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 4: state for how long and they appoint the judges, so 183 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 4: I think they think we should be shocked of the 184 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 4: caliber of some of these judges or their political ideology. 185 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 4: Now I want to play you a video. This is 186 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 4: a brave mechanic who was assaulted by five armed thugs 187 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 4: during a terrifying home invasion. He's unleashed on Premier Just 188 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 4: into Alan Now. Simon was repeatedly struck with a Jimmy 189 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 4: bar during a violent home invasion earlier in the month. 190 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,719 Speaker 4: The armed thugs then held the metal bar to his 191 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 4: wae's throat and threatened to kill him. 192 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 3: Again before they stole the car. 193 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 4: Assignon has called this into allan delusional and told her 194 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 4: to wake up to Melbourne's crime crisis. 195 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 10: In fact, that you can't be safe from your own home. 196 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 10: He speaks volumes, can't settle, can't stay here. It's okay 197 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 10: during the day, but when night comes, every pin drop, 198 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 10: every noise you're gaping about, you instantly triggered. 199 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 4: And Michael, this is the experience of so many across 200 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 4: this city. The crime crisis is hitting every suburb. We've 201 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 4: got record levels of violent crime. This is not something 202 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 4: that is being manufactured by the media or scare mongering 203 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 4: by political forces. This is real and it's impacting more 204 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 4: and more people. 205 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 6: And we don't have enough budget to increase police number. 206 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 6: I mean, it's been very good at train stations. When 207 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 6: they've put in those transport police, the crime is down there. 208 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 6: We need to have more of them. And these armed 209 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 6: thugs home invasions are terrible. They need to be pursued. 210 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 6: And you know, I don't believe in mandatory three convictions 211 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 6: and you're out, but magistrates and judges need to be 212 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 6: more in line with public opinion and act strongly against 213 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 6: these kind of perpetrators. 214 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 4: Well, the machete bins haven't seemed to have worked. Is 215 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 4: there to eliminate home invasions? 216 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 8: I mean that's a surprise. 217 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 7: Look the justice in criminal justice system and the crime issues. 218 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 8: It is rotting from the top. 219 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 7: Since COVID police are losing staff in droves every time 220 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 7: an EBA comes up. 221 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 8: People are choosing to retire. Retention is poor. 222 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 7: They can't attract people to do it because the government 223 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 7: here in Victoria made them go out and find homeless 224 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 7: people for being outside after eight pm and find people 225 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 7: for walking around the park that was five and a 226 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 7: half kilometers away from their house. And so police are 227 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 7: choosing to opt out. And of course the study is 228 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 7: broken and we can't afford to up their pay and 229 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 7: conditions and employ more of them. 230 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 4: And I think we're lowering standards to attract more offices, 231 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 4: but even that's not doing the job. Now, before you go, 232 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 4: the United Firefighters Union in Victoria's warn residents in the 233 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 4: suburbs of Richmond, baux Hill, Sunshine and Thomastown that all 234 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 4: the fire trucks in those areas with the ability to 235 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 4: reach buildings higher than three floors have broken down and 236 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 4: that the Allen government is refusing to fund replacement trucks. 237 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 11: Get a load of this. 238 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 9: If you live in an apartment building in Richmond, Thomastown, 239 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 9: Sunshine or box Hill and you have a fire in 240 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 9: your home, firefighters can't reach you. All of our teleboom 241 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 9: trucks which we need to reach you in a fire 242 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 9: are now broken down and completely off the road. Allen 243 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 9: is fully aware of these risks, but refuses to provide 244 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 9: funding for new trucks. So if you know anyone living 245 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 9: or working in these areas, please make sure you tag them. 246 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 9: Their lives at risk all because of Alan government. 247 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 11: What gives the trucks that we need? 248 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 4: The UFU coming out against labor, this must have been 249 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 4: an election year, But what do you make of that 250 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 4: claim that that don't have the equipment to fight fires 251 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 4: in apartment blocks that are more than three stories high. 252 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 6: It goes to the general point. You know, we're being 253 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 6: two hundred billion dollars in debt. The Victorian government doesn't 254 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 6: have sufficient money to pay for emergency services upgrades like 255 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 6: the police or the firefighters as they should. However, there 256 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 6: seems to me to be a difference between getting an 257 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 6: entirely new big ladder truck, which is what they're talking about, 258 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 6: and the current ones not working. Have they not heard 259 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 6: of repairs? Can't some of these things be repaired? And 260 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 6: if they can't, they should be explaining why. 261 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 3: What do you make of this, Christie? 262 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 4: What do you make of the political machinations behind a 263 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 4: video like that? 264 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 7: It's not the first time the fires Union have gone 265 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 7: after the government. Remember when they opened the tunnel and 266 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 7: they were saying that the radio equipment wasn't up to 267 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,479 Speaker 7: scratch and if there was a fire. 268 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 8: In there, they wouldn't be able to mitigate it. 269 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 7: They are on a good wicket, i think, prosecuting their 270 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 7: arguments coming through to near election. But combine the aging fleet, 271 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 7: it is a real problem. And certainly there ishes with 272 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 7: the CFA as well, and not funding that appropriately for 273 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 7: country fire authority to fight fires in the regions. I 274 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 7: think those two wishes combined, the government's got a real 275 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 7: issue on their hands that the public will really resonate with. 276 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 6: And they used to be such good friends of Dan 277 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 6: Andrews too. 278 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 4: You know, you could argue exercise disproportionate power in this state, 279 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 4: so it's very interesting to see them come out with 280 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 4: videos like that. 281 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 3: Michael danby Christi mcsleeney, thanks for your time. 282 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 12: Now. 283 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 4: While I was enjoying the delights of Florida over the 284 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 4: last two weeks, I was bemused to see my city, 285 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 4: Melbourne again ranked as the best city in the world 286 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 4: by British media group time Out. I had to check 287 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 4: whether it was April one, but Victorian primages Into Alan 288 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 4: was quick to claim the prize handed out by this 289 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 4: irrelevant little publication time Out that seized its print edition 290 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 4: some years ago and it only had a circulation of 291 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 4: around fifty thousand people had to actually pay for it. 292 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 3: Nevertheless, just Into Allen was thrilled. 293 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: We're facing cost of living challenges like everywhere else in 294 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: the world, but with the lowest friends in the country, 295 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: building more government schools, free public transport for kids and 296 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: your right to work from home. Victoria is tackling these 297 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: challenges better than anywhere else. And by the way, we're 298 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: also the best city in the world. 299 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 13: Joining me now, Sky News contributor Clista Klemens, Clista, what 300 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 13: are your thoughts on this prize and whether it's vindication 301 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 13: of Labour's management of this stage? 302 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 2: Well, to keep it blunt, Jacinta Allen makes me feel 303 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 2: physically nauseous. It is unsurprising that she has jumped on 304 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 2: camera to boast about this crummy award. Well, Victoria has 305 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 2: got nothing to boast about right now. We have spent 306 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 2: fifteen billion dollars on organized crime, all in corruption, so 307 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 2: unions can play around to say the least. Our school 308 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 2: infrastructure is crumbling, our public transport is mediocre at best, 309 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 2: and right now we see teenagers murdering people on our streets, 310 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 2: notwithstanding the thousands of families that have woken up in 311 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 2: the middle of the night to armed men in their homes, 312 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 2: in when their children are sleeping. So to say the least, 313 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 2: whoever is awarded this prize while they think need to 314 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 2: spend a couple of days in the reality of modern Victoria. 315 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 4: I think yeah, I think they need to spend an 316 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 4: afternoon with some of the victims of crime in this city. 317 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 4: I think that would be a bit of a wake 318 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 4: up call. Because Victoria Warrior and Melbourne. I love Melbourne, 319 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 4: it's my city. I have defended it. I have been parochial. 320 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,959 Speaker 4: But reality is reality, and we are not doing well. 321 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,239 Speaker 4: And we are not doing well when you compare us 322 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 4: on just about every measure, whether it's our massive debt 323 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 4: in this state, whether it's the crime rate, whether it's 324 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 4: living standards. 325 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 3: Whether it's just. 326 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 4: The mood of the people and being in I traveled 327 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 4: to Sydney every week for outsiders, and I'll tell you 328 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 4: you notice the change, the shift in the mood of 329 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 4: the population. The clouds witted well, people are just happier, 330 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:43,199 Speaker 4: people have got smiles on their faces, the CBDs, thriving 331 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 4: families are out. It's just a very different mood to Melbourne. 332 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 4: Sadly now, last week senator's Fatima Payman, Lydia Thorpe and 333 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 4: Marine Fruki claimed they have experienced racism in the Senate 334 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 4: in the Senate Chamber and they call for Parliament to 335 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 4: become a safer workplace for women of color. They also 336 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 4: posted this image with a caption trigger warning for trolls. 337 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 4: This image contains brown women, which some viewers may find upsetting. 338 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 4: I think Senor thought was responsible for that particular post. 339 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 3: Callista. 340 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 4: Is the gender and color of these ladies behind some 341 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 4: of the vitriol or could it possibly possibly have something. 342 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 3: To do with the endless crap that they speed? 343 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I'm going to go with the ladder 344 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 2: on that rue. I think one of these ladies maybe 345 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 2: they do actually realize it that we don't care about 346 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 2: skin color. We care about competence and if you're going 347 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 2: to be representing the Australian people in Australian Parliament, you 348 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 2: need to be competent to do that job. And unfortunately, 349 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 2: I think Australians are confused as to whether these three 350 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 2: women represent the Palestinian people or the Australian people because 351 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 2: it's unclear. So, ladies, when you're doing your job right, 352 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 2: you will not face the scrutiny that you are faced 353 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 2: right now, But do not weaponize your skin color in 354 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 2: order to avoid the public scrutiny that you were subject 355 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 2: to as a parliamentarian. 356 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 4: Well, all three of them have been outspoken about the 357 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 4: Palestinian or anti Israeli, cause we've seen that over the 358 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 4: last couple of years, and I think Australians are entitled 359 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,880 Speaker 4: to question what the priorities are of these senators because 360 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 4: after all, they are sitting in the Australian Upper House 361 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 4: and they should be prioritizing the interests of Australians. Now, 362 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 4: before you go, it's been reported that former Australian of 363 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 4: the Year Grace Tame has lost all speaking engagements for 364 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 4: the rest of the year and I find that hard 365 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 4: to believe. I'm guessing you'll start being booked for by 366 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 4: the usual suspects very shortly. But Grace Tame claims that 367 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 4: has been a smear campaign against her ever since she 368 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 4: led a chant of globalized into fada at an anti 369 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:57,959 Speaker 4: Israeli rally in Sydney. Callista, is Grace Tame a victim 370 00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 4: here of cancel culture the. 371 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 2: Best way possible or lefty having to take accountability for 372 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 2: their actions. Who would have thought yeah and look to 373 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,239 Speaker 2: turn around and her leftist cult coming out saying this 374 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 2: is a smear campaign. No, a smear campaign is when 375 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 2: something is false and Grace has absolutely made her bed 376 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 2: and she needs to lie in. 377 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 4: It well, which she's got plenty of fans, including in 378 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 4: the media. The ABC has come to her defense. Presenter 379 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 4: Forrginia Trioli called tame, brave and admirable and said she 380 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,199 Speaker 4: was being subjected to a cancel sorry, a culture of 381 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 4: censorship and suppression. 382 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 3: Suppression, that's a big word. And we've we've got. 383 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 4: Plenty of others who have come to a defense. But 384 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 4: surely the left who have embraced cancel culture, they call 385 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 4: it accountability culture. They can't be upset when it's applied 386 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 4: to one of their own. 387 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 3: And these are your rules. 388 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,439 Speaker 4: If you can't even play by your own rules, how 389 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 4: can anybody else? 390 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 2: Well, it's it's all part of the victim mentality, right, 391 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 2: and this whole lack of critical thought.

Get away from. 483 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: Him, you. 484 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 12: Well, good character. 485 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 13: Recall I peed myself a little. 486 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 3: Why is Pedro Pascal ruining it by talking needlessly? The 487 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 3: ladies cook. 488 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 4: But if the oscars wanted to be actually entertaining for 489 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 4: the whole thing, then they should throw millions at Ricky 490 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,959 Speaker 4: Gervais to host. You remember his superb, superb work at 491 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 4: the Golden Globes. If they can't get him over the line, 492 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 4: then Jimmy Carr would also be a brilliant option. 493 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 8: Here is a. 494 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 3: Taste of his work.

I 497 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 16: probably can't do my Islamic bit. Well, obviously I'm not 498 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 16: going to be telling the same jokes about Mohammed. I'd 499 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 16: feel very comfortable telling about Jesus Christ. And that's because, 500 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 16: fun fact, I'm not an idiot. So if you're a 501 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 16: Christian and you're sat there thinking, well, that's not fair. 502 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 16: He make jokes about Christians all day long, but he 503 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 16: won't make the same sort of jokes about Muslims, well, 504 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 16: then maybe as a Christian you should think about blowing 505 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 16: something up. Hey, no one's scared of you. What are 506 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 16: the Christians going to do? 507 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 11: Forgive me? 508 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 17: Yes? 509 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 3: I like the late night TV comics in the US. 510 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 4: It seems to be the front runners to host Oscars 511 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 4: and Golden Globes are year. 512 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 3: Jimmy Carr is actually funny. 513 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 4: Now to DC, where US Attorney for the District of Columbia, 514 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,719 Speaker 4: Jeanine Piro put a leftist journalist in his place. 515 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 3: This is a thing of beauty. 516 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 18: Were second the cases that you're oh, cut it out. 517 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 18: Do you know how many convictions we've got. Cut it out? 518 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 18: You're in one lane. We have cleaned up this city. 519 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 18: Get historic. Really, I'll tell you what's historic. What's historic 520 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 18: is that I prosecute everything other than ten percent of 521 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 18: the cases, where the United States Attorney before me didn't 522 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 18: prosecute sixty seven percent of the cases. That's what's historic. 523 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 18: I'm willing to take a not guilty. I'm willing to 524 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 18: take a no true bill because I'll take all the 525 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 18: crimes and put him in Thank you, Thank you. 526 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 13: The time we have I. 527 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 3: Think that's what they call a mic drop moment. 528 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 4: Yes, they're cleaning up DC, and it shows the crime 529 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:54,719 Speaker 4: rate has plummeted. Murder rate has dropped sixty eight percent 530 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 4: compared to at the same time in twenty twenty five. 531 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 4: Robberies are down forty seven percent, sexual abuse down sixty 532 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 4: four percent, and violent crime across the board is down 533 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 4: thirty one percent. Let's bring in documentary filmmaker and commentate 534 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 4: Army Horoiz Army. This is a triumph for the administration. 535 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 4: And yet the DC locals don't seem all. 536 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 3: That grateful. 537 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 11: Or the media. 538 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 19: You don't hear anything about the media talking about the 539 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 19: crime rate dropping because it doesn't help their arguments. Yeah, look, 540 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 19: crime levels are lowest in decades now. Generally presidents don't 541 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 19: have a lot to do with national crime rates because 542 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 19: they're usually city by city. But it's really hard to 543 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 19: argue that, for example, in DC, it's not almost solely 544 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 19: because of the use of the National Guard or they're 545 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 19: everywhere in the city that crime has dropped. It's hard 546 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 19: to argue that the dead stop and illegal immigrants coming 547 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 19: to this country didn't factor in to a drop in 548 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 19: crime rate. It's hard to argue that the unleashing of 549 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 19: the FBI across the country, taking down large cartels and 550 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 19: gang members and drug affiliates aren't part of the drop 551 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 19: in crime. So, yeah, I'm sorry, but those are arguments 552 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 19: that are just hard to ignore. 553 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 4: Now activist judge has been called an activist judge A 554 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 4: Bosberg has blocked a grand jury from investigating the FED, 555 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 4: and Janine Piro says that's illegal in Washington. 556 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 18: An activist judge has taken that tool away from us 557 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 18: by inserting himself and preventing the grand jury from even obtaining, 558 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 18: let alone hearing evidence. He has newtered the grand jury's 559 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 18: ability to investigate crime. As a result, Jerome Powell today 560 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 18: is now bathed in immunity preventing my office from investigating 561 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 18: the Federal Reserve. This is wrong, and it is with 562 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 18: out legal authority. 563 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 4: Army Horowitz, No, you're not a lawyer, but what's your 564 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 4: take on that conflict between members of the judiciary, the 565 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 4: Trump administration, and this determination to look at the FED 566 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 4: investigate the Fed? 567 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 19: But I play one on TV RITA. Look, I'm going 568 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 19: to be enough for me. You are not going to 569 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 19: like my answer. Okay, I knew. 570 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 3: I knew it would be. 571 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 4: I knew you would be in a completely different realm 572 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 4: on this topic to me. I knew it because you 573 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:45,719 Speaker 4: were not happy even with the Trump administration sending in 574 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 4: law enforcement to different cities. I think perhaps you've moderated 575 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 4: your position on that. 576 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 3: Perhaps not, But yeah, you. 577 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 4: Think this judge is in the right here by stopping 578 00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 4: a grand jury even looking into this. 579 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 19: Look, I'm not going to debate with you the dual 580 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 19: mandate of the Fed, right, which is and the efficacy 581 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 19: of this particular. 582 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 11: Regime on that issue. 583 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 19: I'm not going to debate with you, you know, whether 584 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 19: or not we need deep cuts now to juice up 585 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 19: the economy or whether it be inflationary. Look, presidents have 586 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 19: always had conflicts with the Fed. Every president does, right. 587 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 19: They wanted a stronger economy and more and more federal cuts, 588 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 19: and the Fed is a little more cautious. 589 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 11: That's common. Look. 590 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 19: President Johnson even famously pushed a Federal Reserve chairman on 591 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 19: his ranch. But this is something a little bit different. 592 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 11: Okay. This is not about building cost overruns. Okay. Trump 593 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 11: is a builder. 594 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 19: He famously has tons of buildings. 595 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 11: That have cost overruns. It's part of the process. 596 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 19: This is about him trying to find cause to get 597 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 19: rid of jerown power. Okay, and causes not like the cause. 598 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 19: You can't just get a president just get rid of 599 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 19: a Federal Reserve chairman. He has to have what the 600 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,479 Speaker 19: were is caused the legal meaning that you have an 601 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 19: employment contract. It's gross misbehavior of criminal activity, right, not 602 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 19: like you're not Junior daw properly, and he's trying to 603 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,320 Speaker 19: pressure Jerome Powell to do deep cuts to juice of 604 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 19: the economy. And by the way, hypocritically, I'm sorry, but 605 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 19: Trump criticized Jerome Powell for having deep cuts under Biden 606 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 19: to jusep be cunning for him. So I don't like this. 607 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 19: This is as close as you get to abuse of power, 608 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,720 Speaker 19: and I think this is not the kind of behavior 609 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 19: that that we need. He doesn't rankles him that the 610 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 19: FED is outside the executive branch reach. And like you said, 611 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 19: because you knew the way I think generally, I don't 612 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 19: like growth and executive power. 613 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 11: I never liked it. I think it's a dangerou to 614 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 11: the US. 615 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 4: Well, that's always good in Syria, I would agree with you. 616 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 4: But when these bodies become deeply politicized and they behave accordingly, 617 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 4: I think then you need to take action. And I 618 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 4: would argue that's what we have seen with the FED 619 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 4: over several years. But that's an argument that we will 620 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 4: keep having. I'm sure we will get to the Iranian 621 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 4: conflicts shortly, because I know there's plenty. 622 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 3: To be said there. 623 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,800 Speaker 4: But the oscars were on today, and as usual, we 624 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 4: had more incoherent virtue signaling from the celebrity class, including 625 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:24,239 Speaker 4: calls for a ceasefire in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran army. 626 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,279 Speaker 4: These adults can't even figure out what a woman is, 627 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:32,360 Speaker 4: but they think they can lecture the Trump administration about geopolitics. 628 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 19: Yeah, I'm sorry, but I prepared a statement I need 629 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 19: to read to you. The Tongva were the primary indigenous 630 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:45,320 Speaker 19: people of Hollywood, California before the Spanish colonization, including the 631 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,280 Speaker 19: stolen land beneath the Dorby Theater. 632 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,880 Speaker 11: Tongva. We acknowledge you, Tongva. We salute you. So I 633 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 11: just want to get that out of the way, just 634 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 11: so we're clear. 635 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 19: Thank you, Yeah, no, thank you, and yeah, by the way, 636 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 19: I am, I'm so upset at you that you've I 637 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 19: had no interest in watching the Oscars Now I had 638 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 19: to kind of flip through it to prepare for this. 639 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 19: By the way, Javier bardam, if you're going to wear 640 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:12,120 Speaker 19: this big egregious sign saying no more war on your 641 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 19: chest right into English, because I hate to tell you, 642 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,320 Speaker 19: but more than double the population the world's English versus Spanish. 643 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 19: So I'm just putting out there to help you out 644 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 19: going forward. Yeah, there's a lot of comments about troubling times, 645 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:26,440 Speaker 19: frightening times. 646 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 11: Yeah. I don't know. 647 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,400 Speaker 19: Were they referring frightening times to the multitude of Islamic 648 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:35,400 Speaker 19: attacks that we've seen across Europe and the United States, 649 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 19: or maybe when they're saying troubling times, they're referring to 650 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,360 Speaker 19: the fact that a Jew can't walk into a synagogue 651 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 19: anywhere in the world, that a fear that he won't 652 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 19: be able to live because he will be killed by 653 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 19: a terrorist action. I wonder if that's what they meant 654 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:50,240 Speaker 19: by frightening times. 655 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 3: I don't think they made that. 656 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,720 Speaker 4: I think they mean the Iranian regime being on its naise, 657 00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 4: her mask being on its NAIs, and the West having 658 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:05,840 Speaker 4: a fight back of sorts. But while the Hollywood elite 659 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,400 Speaker 4: want to cease fire, Iranians in the US are marching 660 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 4: for Iran to be freed of the regime. This was 661 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 4: a march earlier today in New York City. 662 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 3: Army. 663 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 4: I think Iranian Americans have found out that the left, 664 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,799 Speaker 4: and many of them may be from the left, they 665 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 4: found out they're not their allies. This is something Jews 666 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 4: have also discovered since October seven. 667 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean some of the Jews discovered that. 668 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 19: I mean, I wonder how many and thankfully only a 669 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,279 Speaker 19: minority of Jews voted for Mam Danni as Mayor of 670 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 19: New York, but some did. And I wondered if they 671 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,719 Speaker 19: had buyers of Morse when they saw those images of 672 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,760 Speaker 19: Mamdani sitting and breaking bed with Mahmu Khalil, an open 673 00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,800 Speaker 19: rampet terror supporter, or one of the buyers of Morse, 674 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 19: when Missus Cardamom would post and support the rape and 675 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 19: murder of Jews across Israel. I don't know if they 676 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 19: did actually look the Iranian people across the world. Just 677 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:16,359 Speaker 19: spend thirty seconds with a Persian and Tearanjulus and ask 678 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 19: them what they think of the Iranian regime with the left, 679 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,439 Speaker 19: and they'll disabuse you of any notion they had any 680 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:26,360 Speaker 19: connection or help from the left before now and going forward. Okay, 681 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:30,239 Speaker 19: the Iran diaspora has not ever been in support of 682 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 19: the left because they understood at the left supports the 683 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,879 Speaker 19: Iranian regime and it was proven during this particular war. 684 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 19: So yeah, and by the way, you see, and how 685 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,959 Speaker 19: do you know that? Just look at the images universally 686 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:48,320 Speaker 19: I'm not talking about a minority or a small majority. Universally, 687 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 19: you see Iranians around the world celebrating this war against 688 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:57,440 Speaker 19: tyranny and the eventual fall God willing of the Irani regime. 689 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:04,240 Speaker 4: Now, let's hear Iran's Foreign minister, Abbess Aragachi who claims 690 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 4: that President Donald Trump launched attacks against Iran because it 691 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,919 Speaker 4: is fun. That's a direct quote, because it is fun. 692 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 4: And he also said. 693 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 3: The Iranian regime had the right to enrich uranium. 694 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 7: Why should President Trump consider allowing Iran to have even 695 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,760 Speaker 7: the smallest bit of enrichment. 696 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 17: Well, first of all, enrichment is our right. We are 697 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,360 Speaker 17: a member of NPT and we have every right to 698 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:39,399 Speaker 17: enjoy a peaceful nuclear energy, including enrichment. How we use 699 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 17: this this right is something related to us only. 700 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 3: Army. There appears to be a level of delusion there. 701 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 11: Yeah. 702 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:55,400 Speaker 19: Now, she didn't mention at any point in time the 703 00:39:55,680 --> 00:40:02,239 Speaker 19: tens of thousands of civilians murder bized regime. She did 704 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,600 Speaker 19: not push back for one second when he said we're 705 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:10,560 Speaker 19: not targeting civilian targets around the world. Didn't one time 706 00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,480 Speaker 19: push back against that. This is par for the course 707 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 19: for the media. They had built in this narrative that 708 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 19: the Iranian war is bad despite the very clear results 709 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 19: of what's happening now and what will happen to the world, 710 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 19: God willing. 711 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 11: If the Iranian regime falls. 712 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 19: Okay, I did you know when the twenty four hours 713 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 19: between the ISIS attack, the ISIS sympathizers who attacked threw 714 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,239 Speaker 19: a bomb attack in New York, I did. 715 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,040 Speaker 11: I asked three different. 716 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 19: AI engines to say how much ink and how much 717 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:46,880 Speaker 19: airtime CNN gave to the civilians that were killed in 718 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 19: this war versus an actual ice attack in New York 719 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 19: and they all told me there was three times as 720 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,800 Speaker 19: much coverage by CNN about the under two thousand civilians 721 00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:01,240 Speaker 19: who've been killed, not on purpose, by the way, not targeted. 722 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,400 Speaker 19: Then they gave time to an actual terrorst attack in 723 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,440 Speaker 19: New York City. It just goes to show where their 724 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 19: sympathy lies. It goes to show what they really care about, 725 00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,920 Speaker 19: and frankly, it is so disgusting. 726 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,799 Speaker 4: Well, we saw the New York Times reporting on the 727 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 4: ISIS attack in New York. 728 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,960 Speaker 3: I mean, that was just laughable. 729 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,880 Speaker 4: It was almost like a comedy sketch, something that the 730 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 4: Babylon b would come up with. That's how poorly they 731 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 4: handle it. But we've got used to the New York 732 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:37,279 Speaker 4: Times be clowning themselves. But you're right, CBS anchor there, 733 00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:41,600 Speaker 4: Margaret Brennan, she was far more civil and far less 734 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,320 Speaker 4: hostile than when she interviews someone like JD. 735 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,720 Speaker 3: Vance or Marco Rubio. 736 00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:51,200 Speaker 4: Now there's a report Army that the son and successor 737 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:55,319 Speaker 4: of Iotola Ali Komeni, was not his father's choice to 738 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:59,319 Speaker 4: rule Iran. This is according to US and Israeli intelligence assessments, 739 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 4: which was shared with The Times. It seems Ali Romani 740 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:07,280 Speaker 4: had misgivings about his son's abilities, and he was perceived 741 00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:11,640 Speaker 4: as not very bright and was viewed as unqualified to 742 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,920 Speaker 4: be leader Army. 743 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:19,200 Speaker 19: Yeah, talk about daddy issues. Yeah, he's gonna have a 744 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,520 Speaker 19: lot to discuss this therapist if he survives the next 745 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,560 Speaker 19: few days, which I don't think. 746 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:26,879 Speaker 11: I'm not sure that he will. Yeah. 747 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 19: No, he's been portrayed as kind of an idiot. 748 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,880 Speaker 11: Sorry, but yeah, I think at the least of his problems. 749 00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,640 Speaker 19: I think that he's gonna find himself six feet under 750 00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:40,239 Speaker 19: very very soon. And he's not too careful. Look, it's 751 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:44,280 Speaker 19: said that his son is even worse than his father. 752 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:49,520 Speaker 19: In terms of his villainy and he's how extreme he is. 753 00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,239 Speaker 11: But hopefully we're never going to find out. 754 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,239 Speaker 4: Well, he may already be six feet out there. We're 755 00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:59,480 Speaker 4: not even sure if he's is with us right now 756 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,960 Speaker 4: before you go, there were all sorts of rumors circulating 757 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:07,440 Speaker 4: online that Iran had killed Israeli President Benjamin Nettan Yahoo. 758 00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:11,680 Speaker 4: BB has responded to those rumors by posting a video 759 00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,880 Speaker 4: of himself getting a cup of coffee and chatting with 760 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,120 Speaker 4: his aid, mocking those sorts of that sort of talk Army. 761 00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:23,040 Speaker 4: It seems this entire story came about in part at 762 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:28,280 Speaker 4: least because BB's son had stopped posting on social media. 763 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,000 Speaker 11: Yeah, it looked a really nice cup of coffee there. 764 00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:33,440 Speaker 11: I'm actually kind of jealous. 765 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,400 Speaker 19: Yeah, this is what I have to say the Iranian 766 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:38,400 Speaker 19: regime when it comes to that. 767 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:43,120 Speaker 11: Good luck to you.

The executive chair of Australian Community Media 777 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,479 Speaker 4: and View Property Group, Anthony Catalano, has stepped down after 778 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:32,480 Speaker 4: he was charged with assault, false imprisonment and making threats 779 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 4: to kill after he allegedly swung an iron at a 780 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,560 Speaker 4: woman's head and dragged her by her hair and ankles 781 00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:43,120 Speaker 4: in his luxury sinkilled at Penthouse. For more on this, 782 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:47,480 Speaker 4: let's bring in Harold's son, investigative journalist Stephen Drill. Stephen, 783 00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:52,520 Speaker 4: this is potentially a massive fall from grace for Anthony Catalano. 784 00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,920 Speaker 4: What more do we know about these allegations and I 785 00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,759 Speaker 4: stress they are at this time only allegations. 786 00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:02,640 Speaker 20: Rider Catalina has not entered a plea yet. His year 787 00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,840 Speaker 20: back in court on May eleven. But these are serious charges. 788 00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,840 Speaker 20: They do have a jail term that could be attached 789 00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,960 Speaker 20: to them. And there is CCTV of the incident. Now, 790 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:16,440 Speaker 20: the incident was captured by those cameras inside mister Catalina's home. 791 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 20: We believe that the victim was his wife Stephanie Catalino. 792 00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:24,640 Speaker 20: It's a concerning development for their family relationship, but it's 793 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:28,040 Speaker 20: also very concerning for his companies because they are a 794 00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:32,040 Speaker 20: major employers and they run the Canberra Times, the Iluorra 795 00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:35,000 Speaker 20: Mercury and the Newcastle Herald, along with about one hundred 796 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,400 Speaker 20: community papers across the country. 797 00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:41,160 Speaker 3: So he's a powerful figure in the media landscape and 798 00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:41,960 Speaker 3: influential figure. 799 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,240 Speaker 20: I mean, the Canberra Times is the paper of record 800 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:48,879 Speaker 20: in Canberra, very big connections with Parliament House, and these 801 00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:52,400 Speaker 20: aren't allegations that one would take lightly and they're quite concerning. 802 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,799 Speaker 4: Now do we know about the injuries suffered by the 803 00:45:55,840 --> 00:46:00,279 Speaker 4: alleged victim here? And you mentioned CCTV and US. There 804 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,240 Speaker 4: was a statement from the Anthony Catillano camp. 805 00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:04,399 Speaker 3: What has he said so far? 806 00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:07,959 Speaker 20: He's saying that he's stepping down from his roles, he'll 807 00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,799 Speaker 20: take a six month leave of absence and he will 808 00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:14,080 Speaker 20: go to rehab on My understanding is he hasn't entered 809 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,440 Speaker 20: rehab yet. He's had an assessment for that, but there 810 00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:19,600 Speaker 20: are waiting lists. It's not like you can just walk 811 00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:21,720 Speaker 20: straight into a rehab center, so that may not happen 812 00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:26,400 Speaker 20: for a number of days. The injuries to the victim. 813 00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:30,760 Speaker 20: She believed she had a broken coxic, so they're quite serious. 814 00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:32,960 Speaker 20: She didn't need to go to hospital and my understanding 815 00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:34,600 Speaker 20: is now that she's up in Byron Bay. 816 00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,280 Speaker 4: Now, since these allegations came to light, we've had media 817 00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:43,920 Speaker 4: reports of claims from twenty eighteen alleging that Stephanie Catalano, 818 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:48,440 Speaker 4: the current wife of Anthony and the mother of his 819 00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:52,520 Speaker 4: four of his nine children. She told friends at the 820 00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:58,319 Speaker 4: time that in separate incidents, Anthony allegedly assaulted her. What 821 00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:02,480 Speaker 4: more can you tell me about these allegations, and again 822 00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:06,640 Speaker 4: I emphasized they're just allegations. There were no charges or convictions. 823 00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,000 Speaker 20: Well, Anthony Catalina is known as the cat who sort 824 00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:11,400 Speaker 20: of seemed to have nine lives. 825 00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:12,360 Speaker 11: But they may have run out. 826 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:16,200 Speaker 20: Now the allegations from several years ago is a recording 827 00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:19,240 Speaker 20: that's been heard by people where Stephanie has made claims 828 00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,920 Speaker 20: about a headbutting incident. At the time, there was also 829 00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:23,640 Speaker 20: quite for. 830 00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,839 Speaker 4: Someone who she was talking to recorded this and now 831 00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,359 Speaker 4: that recording is circulating. 832 00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,320 Speaker 20: Recirculating around the WhatsApp grips around Melbourne. 833 00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:36,280 Speaker 3: I believe that's but there were no charges at. 834 00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:39,680 Speaker 20: No charges I mean, Jackie Epstein spoke to some friends 835 00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,719 Speaker 20: of Stephanie's and they made the point that they've got 836 00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:45,160 Speaker 20: four kids together. It's not like you can just walk 837 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:48,080 Speaker 20: away in five minutes. This is it's a long term relationship. 838 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:49,080 Speaker 20: It's quite complicated. 839 00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:53,680 Speaker 4: It certainly is complicated now. On a separate matter, entirely 840 00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:58,920 Speaker 4: before you go, Kyle Sandalans will on Tuesday issue an 841 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,480 Speaker 4: ultimatum to end it up and company aarn Following his suspension. 842 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:06,160 Speaker 4: Kyle will demand that either he be reinstated as the 843 00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:09,560 Speaker 4: co host of kissfm's top rated breakfast show or be 844 00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:13,120 Speaker 4: paid out the remaining eighty eight million dollars under his 845 00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:17,400 Speaker 4: decade long contract. It has understood Kyle Sandalanz and his 846 00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:21,719 Speaker 4: on air partner Jackie o'henderson have been talking amicably in 847 00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:25,239 Speaker 4: recent days, and Sandalans was also spotted catching up with 848 00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:29,480 Speaker 4: Stu Launde, who recently took over to GB three. Aw 849 00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:32,480 Speaker 4: interesting developments there, Stephen. 850 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,680 Speaker 20: That is the world's biggest golden handshase. 851 00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:39,480 Speaker 3: Eight million dollars. Not bad, not bad. He negotiates a 852 00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:41,759 Speaker 3: mean deal. He knows what he's doing, Kyle. 853 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:42,280 Speaker 8: He does. 854 00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:46,000 Speaker 20: I mean, this could bankrupt IRN very really if they 855 00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,520 Speaker 20: pay that money out, the company's only worth about one 856 00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:49,440 Speaker 20: hundred million dollars. 857 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,880 Speaker 4: But why would they want to get rid of their 858 00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,879 Speaker 4: biggest start. Yes, the show doesn't work in Melbourne. They've 859 00:48:55,880 --> 00:49:00,840 Speaker 4: tried the Melbourne experiment again, but it works brilliantly in Sydney. 860 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,320 Speaker 4: And really without it, what is that station? 861 00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:06,920 Speaker 20: Well, either way they're cornered because, as you say, without 862 00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:10,040 Speaker 20: that program, all the advertising that comes in through them, 863 00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:13,400 Speaker 20: we will probably disappear, or it may go across to 864 00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,359 Speaker 20: two GB or three AW when Cole jumps ship. So 865 00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:18,600 Speaker 20: they will still be picked up somewhere, and they have 866 00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:23,720 Speaker 20: moved stations before. Yes, but it's a matter of maybe 867 00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,040 Speaker 20: he just maybe they'll still get back together and they 868 00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,760 Speaker 20: come back and collect that eighty eight million dollars. 869 00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:31,560 Speaker 4: Well, someone is going to have to eat humble pie 870 00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:33,920 Speaker 4: in this. I'm not sure who that is going to be. 871 00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:37,279 Speaker 4: Steven Drill, Thanks for your time tonight, and that's all 872 00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:38,520 Speaker 4: the time we have. 873 00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,680 Speaker 3: I'll see you at eleven tomorrow night.
