WEBVTT - Paul Murray Live | 7 November 0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:03.360 From the United States. 0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:07.240 This is Paul Murray, Live Gooday. 0:00:06.920 --> 0:00:11.000 Australia, and welcome to Washington. As the impact of the 0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:14.040 US election is being felt not just here in the 0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:17.960 capital of the Democracy, but around the world. Our final 0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:20.440 show from Washington is going to be one full of 0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:24.320 all stars. We have got the best lineup you will 0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:27.960 see all day and it begins with our dear friend 0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:31.040 Meghan Kelly. Meghan Kelly, of course, wasn't just somebody who 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:35.640 talked about Donald Trump, but as you know, she ended 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:38.400 up standing with Donald Trump. I think what she had 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:42.360 to say was critical in being able to give a 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:45.080 whole collection of people the final permission to be able 0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:48.479 to vote for him. Meghan Kelly with the inside story 0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:51.760 of her role in the Trump victory in moments from now. 0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:53.840 Mick mulvaney will join us as well. Now, now you've 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:55.920 seen Nick a lot on the channel over the past 0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:58.320 few days. What is fascinating about the chat that we're 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:03.200 going to have is how do you put together a government? 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:06.440 How will Trump put together a government? How does Trump 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:10.120 two point zero make decisions that are different than Trump 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:14.000 one point Oh. There's also an awful lot of detail 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:17.039 that I want to get to this morning about how 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:23.160 the Democrats, to quote one organization, are scratching their eyes out. 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:27.280 Now away from all of this, a dear friend, mentor 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:30.880 and a hero of mine has made a very big 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.080 decision today. He's made it public, and that is that 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:36.120 the great broadcaster Ray Hadley is stepping away from two GB. 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:41.280 He has had an incredible career, a Hall of Fame career. 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:45.000 We will discuss it and his decision to step away 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:47.720 from the day to day of an incredible grind but 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:50.360 also an incredible career at Ray Hadley in a moment 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:52.840 or two's time. But let's deal with everything that is 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:57.280 happening in the United States today now. Obviously, when we're 0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:59.200 not on television, we're trying to talk to as many 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:00.960 people as possible to get a bit of an idea 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:04.360 about what is going on. And the days in Washington 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.880 are absolutely spectacular. The mornings were a little bit cold, 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:11.440 but this was an image that we were lucky enough 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:13.600 to be able to capture, which I think is going 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:18.280 to become an iconic image. The day after Donald Trump 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:22.959 wins the presidency, somebody with the giant flag the Maga 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:25.480 hat makes their way down to the White House. This 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:29.880 is the equivalent of the undernew Management sign being hung 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:33.239 at the White House. Have a look at that as 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:38.560 people of many places come to celebrate the result that, 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.200 of course they took such a massive role in. Now 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.760 I mentioned Meghan Kelly as well, and I've got to say, 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:46.840 I want to play you the way that she started 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:50.080 her show today in the United States. Now, of course 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:53.680 we love her, but she is such a consummate professional 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:57.560 and a brilliant broadcaster. And she's somebody who called bs 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:02.239 on Kamala Harris years ago and has this for middle stump. 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:06.880 She used the words of Harris to describe the joy 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:08.040 of Trump. 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:14.720 The dreams, the ambitions, the aspirations that were unburdened by 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:18.800 what has been when Americans decided to turn the page 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:23.440 on the Democrats and say we are not going back, 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.280 and say hard work is good work. 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:34.640 She even used the actual footage of Kamala Harris's Joy 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:38.560 to explain the feeling in trump Land, which is otherwise 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:42.920 known as the USI right now, but joy. 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:44.360 Cometh in the morning. 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:49.880 The path may seem hard, the work may seem heavy, 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:55.320 but joy cometh in the morning, and just morning is 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:56.200 on its way. 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:03.360 Yes, yes, preach sister Joy does come with in the morning. 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:10.360 Well it's morning here in America, and we will continue 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:12.640 to talk to Megan about the joy that she and 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:16.880 many other people are feeling. Now, let's get to what 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:20.920 I think the story of the day is. And after 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:26.120 playing nice on election night, after slowly going to their corners, 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:31.640 licking their wounds, and Kamala Harris finally conceding this election, 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:36.720 Joe Biden will speak from the White House today. Joe 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:39.440 Biden will of course not answer any questions from the 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:42.000 White House today, and he will talk about the importance 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:45.120 of a peaceful transfer of power. It is a difference between, 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:47.640 of course, what happened four years ago and what is 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:50.520 about to happen in January. But the real story is 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:53.080 one that will not play out in front of the cameras. Now, 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:57.520 let me explain what we're about to see now. When 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:01.719 you lose, it's everyone else's fault. When you win, oh, 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:03.840 I was one hundred percent responsible. So you've got to 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.560 take big grains of salt with all of this. But 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.640 you need to understand the tension that was always in 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:14.400 and around firstly the Biden campaign that then became the 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:21.479 Harris campaign, and it connects back to the Obama campaign. Now, 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:27.039 obviously Joe Biden hates Barack Obama because Barack Obama and 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:31.200 Nancy Pelosi got together and started to use all of 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:33.640 the tricks of the trade and all of the tools 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:39.120 that they had to push Biden out of the election. Now, 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:42.280 whether that was exposing him to a debate which had 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:47.479 never happened before in a modern presidential campaign, remember that 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:52.120 happened in June, which exposed how weak he had become, 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:56.680 which produced a whole collection of pressure That meant he 0:05:56.800 --> 0:06:00.120 was eventually confronted and pretty obviously behind the scene. As 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:02.200 you can imagine, he was offered one of two options. 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:04.200 If you go now, we'll treat you like a hero, 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:08.600 we'll name buildings after you. But if you don't go, 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.520 we're going to blast you out. And that means everything 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:13.800 from the twenty fifth Amendment to let's start to have 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:16.520 a look maybe inside Hunter's laptop. So of course he 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:21.039 goes Harris. Then in twenty four hours is able to 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.960 seal the deal because clearly she's been working behind the 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.480 scenes for the many weeks seeing what's coming, to make 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:29.839 sure that everyone else is out of the way. But 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.640 because the election was so close, and because Kamala Harris 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:35.919 has pretended to be side by side with Joe Biden 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:38.359 the entire time, I am a continuation of what he 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.560 is doing, but I'm really a brand new broom. She 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:46.320 kept all of his campaign machine in place. Literally, her 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:48.560 campaign was not run from Washington, it was not run 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:51.320 from California. It was not wrong from Chicago. It was 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:55.680 run from Wilmington, Delaware. It was Joe Biden's team that 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:59.480 was still making the calls about how the Harris campaign 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:03.000 was run. However, there was a little cherry on top, 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:08.000 which was the price of the nomination, which was that 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.360 for Barack Obama to help put it in her hands, 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:15.680 she had to take on his former campaign chief. So 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:17.920 you have the Biden machine being told what to do 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:23.320 by the Obama team. Inevitably that's going to lead to fights. Then, 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:26.000 of course there's the Harris team who were saying, well, great, guys, 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:27.880 it's not about you, it's about us. But of course, 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:30.920 the last time the Harris team ran for president, she 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:33.320 wasn't even able to get past the first round. Remember, 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:36.320 she dropped out before the primary took place, and Joe 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:39.960 Biden became the nominee. In twenty twenty. So with all 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.920 of that swirling around, with all that palace intrigue, I 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:44.960 want to show you a story which has just dropped 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:47.520 on a website called Politico. Now Politico is a very 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:54.080 inside baseball, inside politics. It's literally media about the bubble 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:58.200 for the bubble, read by the inner bubble. Okay, here 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:02.440 is how they are starting to point fingers at each other. Now, 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:06.480 as you can see, team Biden versus team Harris, who 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:10.440 lost twenty twenty four. The Biden sympathizers want to pin 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:15.360 her loss on well her. The Harris defenders believe Biden's 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:20.440 undeniably at fault for creating a forbidding political environment. She 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:28.000 proved unable to overcome. The early hours recriminations only highlight 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:31.120 the denialism of both factions in the wake of what 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:34.600 will be the first GOP popular vote in two decades. 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:40.960 This failure has many fathers. The article continues and we 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:43.600 start to get into some stories now about what was 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:49.440 really going on behind the Joy and Love campaign. Given 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:52.160 the scale of difficulty that she faced and yes, how 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:57.200 bad the initial internal polling was. She was being advised 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.880 by people who helped her through her political career in 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:06.240 California to start taking some risks. Yet since she first 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:10.360 was elected, Harris has been cautious to a fault, and 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:13.120 here was once again at a moment that demanded risk. 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:15.720 She may well have done the best that she could, 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:18.839 as one person close to her told the reporter who 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:24.080 wrote this story yesterday that there was no example of 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.840 her actually confronting Biden on immigration or the Middle East. 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:28.400 So it put simply if she turned around and started 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:29.880 to say, well, Joe was wrong here and Joe was 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.199 wrong there, the problem was she was in lockstep the 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:34.800 whole time. Why because she knew that her run at 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:37.079 the presidency was going to come four years later if 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:40.120 Joe Biden had been re elected, or her run of 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.199 the presidency would come four years later if Joe Biden 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:44.559 had been defeated. No plan for her to be running now. 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.120 But then the daylight started to open and she ran 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:49.880 through it with the help of, among others, Barack Obama. 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:54.160 Now fascinating to notice here too, this is how it ends. 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.880 Democrats don't just have a Harris or Biden problem. Their 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:03.240 challenge is far deeper. They have a voter problem. So 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:07.920 this is the story, right, We're past all the fakery, 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:11.040 and we're now going to start to see the lie 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.840 that was put before the American people in a desperate 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:17.040 hope that they would be able to win this election. Now, 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:19.400 in terms of some of the reaction to it, it 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:22.480 will not surprise you that the lefty media is not 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.400 taking this well. Now. Don't forget. They don't like the result, 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:28.280 but they also don't like that they have now lost 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:32.040 control over the American people to tell them what is 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:36.040 what the priorities of what they should think before they vote. 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:39.800 Here's some of the media meltdown that's been playing over 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.719 the airwaves and online in the past day. 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:47.600 There are levels of sexism and racism that clearly a 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.520 lot of people in this country are willing to tolerate. 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.680 I can't help but wonder if the American people have 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:55.640 given up on democracy. 0:10:55.720 --> 0:11:00.080 Okay, let's be absolutely blunt about it. There were appeals 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.440 to racism in this campaign, and there is racial bias 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.000 in this country, and there is sexism in this country. 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:09.160 And anybody who thinks that that did not in any 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:11.960 way impact on the outcome of this race is wrong. 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:16.040 Black voters came through for Kamala Harris. White women voters did. 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:20.120 Not Donald Trump has been impeached twice, he was indicted 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:24.320 four times, convicted on thirty four felon accounts. He's been 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:28.560 found liable of sexual abuse. His campaign spewed a lot 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:32.839 of racism, misogynies, you knowphobia, but voters seem to overlook 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:33.280 all of that. 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:35.520 This is the country we live in. People at this 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:39.200 point want a strong man who's a bully, and they 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:40.600 got a strong man who's a bully. 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:42.679 I mean, I think we need to start saying out 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:46.160 loud that you know what is different between Joe Biden 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:50.079 and Kamala Harris. Everybody thinks they're exactly the same on policies, 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:52.680 but one is a woman of color and the other 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.760 is a white man that everybody was really comfortable with 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:59.040 that were moderates and knew him well and had known 0:11:59.120 --> 0:11:59.920 him for decades. 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:02.839 Now, of course, the truth is that they could be 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:04.920 blaming and pointing and winging and all the rest of it. 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:08.280 Remember these were the people who pretended nothing to see him. 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:10.200 When it comes to Joe Biden, who was melting before 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:13.560 our very eyes, was all cheap fakes, deep fakes. And 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:17.280 remember it was like day forty nine of his presidency 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.160 in two thousand and one when I showed you the 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.640 video of him falling up the stairs, that was the 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:25.800 first sign of that decline. And of course all the 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:29.000 polites media wouldn't dare get involved in that conversation. But 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:31.120 please spare a thought for the ladies of the view. 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.320 They had one heck of a struggle session on air today. 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.439 I get it their team lost, but what about this 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:39.200 for Denile. 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.480 It would help if we could regulate social media because 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:46.080 one of the biggest defenders is DC and Congress have 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.679 not been able to do one thing in regard to 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:50.120 the role corporations. 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:51.079 I got journey about it. 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:52.000 As a woman of color. 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:56.000 I was so hopeful that a mixed race woman married 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:59.440 to a Jewish guy could be elected president of this country. 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.880 And I think that it had nothing to do with policy. 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:07.160 I think this was a referendum of cultural resentment in 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:07.800 this country. 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:10.280 He's now the president. I'm still not gonna say his name. 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:17.400 Well, good luck to you. Right these people can live 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:19.480 in their own bubble, their own bubble of denial. They 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:21.200 can turn around and say that they know better than 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:23.920 everyone else. Here's the deal, right now, if you have 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:25.960 an opinion show, you're allowed to have a strong opinion. 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:28.040 But if you think that your opinion is the only 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:30.320 opinion right, and I say that as the person with 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:32.880 the opinion on the television, then you have lost all 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:35.720 touch with reality. Okay. You need to always keep your 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:37.360 head on a swivel to work out what the people 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:40.400 who you completely disagree with might actually be right about. 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:43.320 And this is part of what I think is going 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:47.200 to be one of the five things that we have 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:51.200 not just learned about this election, but the five things 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.560 that you need to think about when you think about 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:57.720 American politics going forward. All right, now, I love this 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:00.800 as a sort of a side hustle to our focus 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:05.120 on Australia, But let me talk now about these five things, right, 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:07.360 because I think this is important to have a look 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:10.439 at about where we go to in the future. Now, first, 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.800 poles don't matter anymore, Okay, we all know that they 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.440 can be fiddled with, and I don't mean fiddled with 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:19.960 in some sort of way where they are manufacturing the answer. 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:22.840 What I think they're doing is they clearly are unable 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:24.880 to talk to a section of the country that does 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:26.960 not want to talk to them. So if you want 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:29.080 to know who's up and who's down for the next 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:32.440 four years until polls are proven right, and they won't 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.600 be follow the bookies. That poly market, in particular, it 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:37.760 was an excellent indicator of who was up and who 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:41.320 was down depending on any one day. I also say 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:42.960 that one of the five things you need to keep 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:44.600 an eye on for the next four years is that 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:51.680 the top down media is done in the United States. Now, 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:55.280 will they continue to exist, sure? Will they continue to 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:59.000 have fewer viewers, fewer readers, fewer listeners because they are 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:01.560 talking to a smaller and smaller and smaller circum Yes. 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.680 Now that does not mean that facts don't matter, the 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:08.240 truth doesn't matter, that people should just read like North 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:11.520 Korean television talking points from the White House each and 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:15.360 every day. But the idea that unnamed sources have said 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:18.480 this and said that every and you never give the 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:21.560 benefit of the doubt to the person you disagree with politically, 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:25.040 well it's just not going to work anymore. You also 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:26.680 need to get back to a little bit of old school, 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:29.600 which is, hello, I'm the news reporter. This is what 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:33.520 happened today. He said this, she said that, he promised this, 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:37.120 she promised that, and stopped telling us what you think 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:40.200 of what he said today? Or what she did today 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:42.720 if they want to have any relevance back into the future, 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:45.480 but their moment in the sun has gone. The Internet 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:49.000 has won this election as the main source of information, 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:52.560 all right, it's really important. Second third thing, No one 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.480 cares about endorsements. It doesn't matter if it's a form president, 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:57.200 and it doesn't matter if it's Oprah Winfrey. It doesn't 0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:00.320 matter if it's Taylor Swift. No one cares. Why because 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:02.200 none of these people are like the people who are 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:06.120 actually voting. These are essentially like people who live in 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:11.200 castles in Martha's Vineyard or California, and they walk out 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:14.440 onto the balcony to tell the people what to do. 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:17.240 We love when they sing, we love when they act, 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:19.520 we love when they dance, we love when they play football. 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:23.040 But I don't care what their view is about how 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:27.720 the world should work. Also, political parties can no longer 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:30.120 do the Jedi mind trick thing. Okay, We've talked about 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:31.880 this a lot, about when the Labour Party will turn 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.680 around in Australia and say the economy is amazing. Don't worry. No, 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:36.800 the economy is not amazing because the people who are 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:40.560 in it have less money and everything costs more. And finally, 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:48.520 beware the power of the forbidden. Anyone who's got toddlers, teenagers, 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:51.600 or remembers when you were young, when you were told 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:54.960 don't do this and don't do that, and that's bad. 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.520 Guess what you want to do. If they have spent 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:01.120 years saying you put that red hat on, then you're 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:04.280 making a mistake. Guess what they do. They want to 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:06.560 do it, because, apart from anything else, it is a 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:09.840 giant middle finger to the person who is telling you 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.280 not to do it. Five things to pay attention to 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:15.479 in the next four years. As we head home at 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:18.639 the end of tonight's broadcast, and we turn our attention 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:21.960 to our own politics. As I say, we spent the 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:24.560 day walking around in Washington today in the shadows of 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:26.320 the White House, just to see how people felt the 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:30.920 morning after. And guess what they were cool, laurious day. Hey, 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:34.119 this is it the glorious day you're feeling after the election? 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:37.120 I think not either way. 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:41.399 I'm okay with who was selected, whether it be Donald 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:42.840 Trump or whether it be Kamalaer. 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:44.680 Yeah, and guess what. The sun came up the next 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:48.000 day and it's a beautiful day alive. That's it and 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:50.280 you've got your family and you're on the scooters. 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:53.440 And that's what matters. It's in Gud's plans. If it's 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:54.920 Guard's plan, does Gus what's going to happen? 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:58.200 Was it good that it was a blowout, nice and decisive, 0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:02.400 no mucking around, no the Russians or no stolen ballots? 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:06.080 Oh yeah, without you know all that show and tell stuff. 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:08.080 And it looks like a cleaner win. 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:11.160 It looks like a more efficient election than it did 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:11.920 a couple of years ago. 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:15.680 When I'll want to come together, that's the issue here. 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:18.440 So the problem is that we think that this person 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:20.240 has one, this person's lost. 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:21.040 But it's not about that. 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:24.000 It's about coming together. Now. Let's let's get this. 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:24.520 Let's get a. 0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:25.639 Country back to where it needs to be. 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:27.520 I've been here for a week and that's the nicest 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:28.880 thing I've heard since I've been here. Man. 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:31.199 I was a little older earlier and asked him if 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:33.040 I can hang out a banner on here, Welcome. 0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:36.440 Home, Matt Tony and lets you close to it. Ross 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:39.160 Greenwood has been following the events of this week from 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:42.439 New York. Ross. It is, of course the start of 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:45.640 a day where we reflect upon what might be ahead. 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:48.720 It'll be fascinating to watch the Democrats call each other's 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:51.520 eyes out. It'll be fascinating to watch who Trump's going 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:54.359 to start to put into his into his cabinet. But 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:57.760 if the stock market was the next version of the 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:00.240 betting markets, they like the result. 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:04.879 They did, and really the stock market took off. But 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:06.600 have a look at the bitcoin price. That was the 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:07.439 thing that I watched. 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:07.800 Now. 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:10.720 Of course Trump has always been a big supporter of cryptocurrency, 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:13.439 so as Elon Musk has backed him, and as the 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:15.719 big winner of the day, no doubt He's wealth went 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:19.560 up fifteen point four billion dollars because Tesla sharsburn. But 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:23.159 bitcoin went through seventy six thousand dollars US for the 0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:25.520 very first time, some suggesting it's on its way to 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:28.119 one hundred thousand. So in many ways, this is, you know, 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:30.560 the way in which people might have could argue gambled 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:32.800 on this election result. But it's also the way in 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:37.080 which people think that America will prosper under the Trump administration. 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:39.639 And you're right about the people that he's now making 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:42.640 selections about who does he put in Secretary of Defense. 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:46.439 Mario Rubio potentially could come back. A guy got a 0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:48.360 good story for you, And this is a guy called 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:52.840 John Paulson could be the new Treasury Secretary replacing Janet Yellam. 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:56.080 His background's kind of interesting. If you've ever seen that 0:19:56.640 --> 0:20:01.240 amazing film about the collapse of Ball Street the global 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:04.159 financial crisis, the Big Short, well he was one of 0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:06.040 those guys who was a part of the Big Short, 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:08.760 made three billion dollars in his hedge fund as a 0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:11.160 result of it. Well, he could be the new man 0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:14.920 with the real hands on the tiller of the America's 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:18.720 economy under the Trump administration. So it's just interesting to 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:21.640 see how Trump picks these people the way in which 0:20:21.760 --> 0:20:24.600 they then respond to his agenda. But the one thing 0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:27.399 is that no matter who was appointed, Trump will have 0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:30.040 his hand right over the top of them, because. 0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:30.760 This is his agenda. 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:33.360 This is his view of the way in which America's 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:36.280 economy can grow into the future and the way in 0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:40.280 which he can bring manufacturing back into the United States. 0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:43.280 Because that's what, as you point out, this was about 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:47.640 ordinary people saying, we do actually want the jobs here, 0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:50.520 we do want to have the energy here, we do 0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:53.040 want to have the security here. So these are the 0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:56.720 things that people ultimately voted for in this election campaign, 0:20:56.920 --> 0:20:59.560 which is the reason why he's also won the popular 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:00.800 vote in this campaign. 0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:05.480 Well, and also, you know, don't forget and by that, 0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:08.480 I'm saying to people paying attention because obviously Ross knows 0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:10.040 this stuff sort of inside and out, and it's why 0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:11.720 we love him, why you gotta watch your show each 0:21:11.720 --> 0:21:15.000 and every each and every day. Which is Trump made 0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:18.320 a promise during the campaign that if you're a company 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:21.600 who's currently making something overseas and you brought your business 0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:25.440 back to America, you would pay a twelve percent company tax. 0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:29.679 Like this is dramatically lower than even the lower company 0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:31.840 taxes that he had promised. But can we get back 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:34.840
