Speaker 1: Live from Las Vegas.
Speaker 2: This is Tol Murray Live Today Australia. Welcome to Las Vegas.
Speaker 3: Look, I understand that it is very jarring for me
Speaker 3: to be here. Happy times, looking forward to rugby leagu
Speaker 3: and what is playing out right now in Israel's strength
Speaker 3: and love to everyone who is affected, deeply concerned. Again,
Speaker 3: you can watch all of that live on the Sky
Speaker 3: News Election channel. That is available on the Sky News app.
Speaker 3: It's available through our website, it's available through Foxtel. So
Speaker 3: with recognition of that, and also I promise that tonight
Speaker 3: will of course be about other things in the news.
Speaker 2: How can I not just recognize where I am.
Speaker 3: I am in Sin City because we are here in
Speaker 3: the countdown too the rugby league, the rugby League is
Speaker 3: going to happen this weekend.
Speaker 2: It's going to be the start of a league season.
Speaker 3: But this is a destination now, a scenario where there
Speaker 3: are people who literally.
Speaker 2: Travel from all over the globe.
Speaker 3: And we've met plenty of them today as they have
Speaker 3: made their way here to get ready to celebrate their team,
Speaker 3: but also this incredible game being played here in the
Speaker 3: United States. Now, as I say, we're going to toggle between.
Speaker 2: The fun that's happening here, the seriousness that's happening at home.
Speaker 3: I'll obviously have my opinion on the day's events, and
Speaker 3: we are going to have Crackerjack or Killer no Filler
Speaker 3: panel this evening with Robin Bishop and Stephen Conry.
Speaker 2: Geez.
Speaker 3: I wonder if they'll agree on anything. Probably not going
Speaker 3: to be the case now. Also today, the teams have
Speaker 3: begun the training processes that they are getting ready before
Speaker 3: they are going to take to the field in those
Speaker 3: games on Saturday. There are going to be four of them,
Speaker 3: two NRL games, the Super League game. The jill Us
Speaker 3: are going to go around so wonderfully supported by a
Speaker 3: mates over at Harvey Norman and a man who's passionate
Speaker 3: about every little second of every person who's involved in
Speaker 3: all of this is the Great Andrew Abdo. He is
Speaker 3: the CEO of the NROL. We'll talk about some of
Speaker 3: the behind the scenes in all of this. And the
Speaker 3: one the Only, Meghan Kelly. No, she's not coming to
Speaker 3: the footy, but she's on I'm the Telly tonight. I
Speaker 3: can't wait for you to see her. And there is
Speaker 3: so much to talk about with her. In a moment
Speaker 3: or two's time, but first let's also talk about what's
Speaker 3: happening in Queensland right now, which is a tropical cyclone
Speaker 3: making its way towards the coast. It'll be there sooner
Speaker 3: rather than later. Now, remember this film was supposed to
Speaker 3: be tropical Cyclone Anthony or Albow, so I'll joke about
Speaker 3: that until it starts to get a bit more serious.
Speaker 3: But it feels like we're getting there, that everyone is
Speaker 3: watching us right now on sky News Regional. We're thinking
Speaker 3: of you, and remember twenty four to seven at sky
Speaker 3: News dot com dot Au our weather channel.
Speaker 4: By the beginning of the weekend, there's a high likelihood
Speaker 4: at this stage the system should turn towards the Queensland coast,
Speaker 4: increasing winds, bringing some big waves and potentially bringing some
Speaker 4: rain to coast or pockets of Queensland.
Speaker 2: So how strong is it going to be?
Speaker 3: Well, let's all find out again from that incredible team
Speaker 3: who are trying to keep people informed. Your homepage would
Speaker 3: be sky News dot com dot Au. Double check the
Speaker 3: YouTube all of our socials and check out the sky
Speaker 3: News Weather Channel.
Speaker 4: The system remains a category two storm as of mid
Speaker 4: this morning. Maximum win Gus at the System center still
Speaker 4: pracking upon one hundred and fifty five kilometers per hour.
Speaker 5: Now over the.
Speaker 4: Course of this week, we're tracking that system intensifying and
Speaker 4: shifting southwards.
Speaker 3: All right, again, strength and love to everyone who's going
Speaker 3: to be affected by that. Okay, so let's get to
Speaker 3: politics right now. The Prime Minister finds another few billion
Speaker 3: dollars down the back of the couch to try to
Speaker 3: solve his problems. When it comes to the polls. Will
Speaker 3: it be the case, we'll all find out together. But
Speaker 3: the most recent Resolve poll, this is the one which
Speaker 3: people were frightened by in the Labor Party, very hopeful
Speaker 3: about in the Liberal Party and those of us that
Speaker 3: are wanting a change of government. Pretty clear here when
Speaker 3: the primary voting Victoria in particular is so bad, it's
Speaker 3: not even a quarter of everyone that's going to be
Speaker 3: voting at the election who will be voting for Labor
Speaker 3: if that poll is correct. But certainly the Prime Minister
Speaker 3: was in Melbourne today and he had billions of dollars
Speaker 3: to hand.
Speaker 2: Out with him.
Speaker 3: This adds to a very long list of promises that
Speaker 3: I'll get to in a moment. But first he is
Speaker 3: the Prime Minister on the billions of dollars that is
Speaker 3: coming on top of billions more that have already been
Speaker 3: promised this year.
Speaker 6: To make this happen, our labor governments committing seven billion
Speaker 6: dollars to build Melbourne Airport Rail, the next important step
Speaker 6: in suburban railroop. This includes our existing five billion dollars
Speaker 6: to build the rail line toer Tullomarine, funding that will
Speaker 6: build the track as well as the bridge and signaling
Speaker 6: improvements to deliver future upgrades to service Melbourne's North and West.
Speaker 6: On top of this, we'll investor further two billion dollars
Speaker 6: to help transform Sunshine Station.
Speaker 3: Now Ever, since the start of this year, the Prime
Speaker 3: Minister has been promising billions of dollars. Billions of dollars
Speaker 3: are your money, Billions of dollars that may will not
Speaker 3: end up turning up anywhere near the budget because it'll
Speaker 3: be off budget and it's an investment. But have a
Speaker 3: look at how much money has been promised by this
Speaker 3: Prime minister since just the start of the year.
Speaker 2: We are not even at the end of the second
Speaker 2: month of.
Speaker 3: The year thirty and a bit b four billion dollars
Speaker 3: that have been spent thus far. But the real news
Speaker 3: today about what the Prime Minister has been trying to do,
Speaker 3: of course, when all else fails, despite the fact that
Speaker 3: more than half of the country thinks that Anthony Abernezi
Speaker 3: is the one who is doing a poor or very
Speaker 3: poor job, we must talk about Peter Dutton. All roads
Speaker 3: lead to Peter Dutton, the ugaboog of music, all the
Speaker 3: rest of it. Right Well, as you know, we told
Speaker 3: you by the reporting of James Campbell. After the failure
Speaker 3: of the Voice, the punishment that Peter Dutton was to
Speaker 3: receive was for the Labor Party to put together a
Speaker 3: dirt unit. This was not secret, this was open, This
Speaker 3: was available. This is something that has been slowly but
Speaker 3: surely feeding certain people in the press gallery. And you
Speaker 3: may well have noticed in the past couple of days
Speaker 3: some really ancient stuff life is starting to pop up.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 2: They want to talk.
Speaker 3: About health policy from twenty fourteen, They want to talk
Speaker 3: about shares from two thousand and nine. They even want
Speaker 3: to go through and list all of the different properties
Speaker 3: that his family trust has owned over the years. But
Speaker 3: I want to talk about a little political tactic. Now
Speaker 3: I might be on the other side of the world.
Speaker 3: I might be getting ready to talk about rugby league.
Speaker 3: I might have a cowboy hat on and yeah, I
Speaker 3: get it, it looks like it does. But you know,
Speaker 3: Vegas baby. The thing is that there is a trick
Speaker 3: that is a long term trick that politicians play when
Speaker 3: they know there's no real evidence, when they know there
Speaker 3: is no case, when they know that they will not
Speaker 3: go to a national corruption commission, when there is no
Speaker 3: smoking gun. What they do is to make sure that
Speaker 3: the story lasts another day and another day and another day.
Speaker 3: Is to turn around and say that the person you
Speaker 3: are trying to hurl my dad has questions to answer.
Speaker 3: Now we have a system where if they wanted to,
Speaker 3: they could refer it to a corruption commission. They may
Speaker 3: well end up doing that in a few days time,
Speaker 3: so they can say for the rest of the campaign
Speaker 3: under a corruption you get the game, right, but just
Speaker 3: in case we are missing it. This is the official
Speaker 3: talking point of the Labor Party.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: Remember, they can't talk about their own performance when it
Speaker 3: comes to what they promised three years ago on cost
Speaker 3: of living. They can't talk about how they will actually
Speaker 3: make your life better in the next three years.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no no, it's all about.
Speaker 3: Let's get dotte with the questions to answer Whisper campaign.
Speaker 8: It's up to him to tell the Australian people did
Speaker 8: he have access to that sensitive information?
Speaker 6: That matter for Peter Dutton to explain.
Speaker 1: What chares did he buy, how much did he buy
Speaker 1: them for?
Speaker 4: Did he have access to privileged, confidential informational people who.
Speaker 3: Did see The reality is is that normal people don't
Speaker 3: buy this. Right now, do I think that Peter dudn't
Speaker 3: walks on water and therefore there is there's no way
Speaker 3: he could.
Speaker 2: Ever be quitting? Of course not right.
Speaker 3: But if it's twenty twenty five and suddenly after a
Speaker 3: couple of years of digging, oh questions to answer, here's
Speaker 3: the documents, please, it's not even the documents. So I
Speaker 3: think this one is just about trying to fire up
Speaker 3: the dirt unit, trying to change the subject. Because remember,
Speaker 3: if the subject is what the Australian people currently say
Speaker 3: is the number one issue, cost of living, this government
Speaker 3: is going to lose. This government is going to be
Speaker 3: pushed into a minority, a minority that might be so
Speaker 3: deep that they are going to have to have almost
Speaker 3: any and everyone in the Parliament who is not label
Speaker 3: or Liberal to hold themselves up that is going to
Speaker 3: be terrible for our country. Now they'll say it wins
Speaker 3: a win, but that is the truth. The questions to
Speaker 3: answer garbage. I'll get to that in a second. For
Speaker 3: his part, Peter Dutton, well, he can see what all.
Speaker 2: This is about.
Speaker 8: The Prime Minister's office is shopping around dirt sheets at
Speaker 8: the moment, transactions that go back to when I was
Speaker 8: twenty years of age. I think it reflects poorly on
Speaker 8: the Prime Minister and the desperation that he's in at
Speaker 8: the moment.
Speaker 3: And again, why is it questions to answer? Why is
Speaker 3: the media saying doesn't respond to the questions to answer?
Speaker 3: You know, the infinite Canberra colombo, the Canberra bubble garbage,
Speaker 3: when of course the number one issue is cost to living.
Speaker 3: It's because today we've got more information, more insight about
Speaker 3: the problems that they said were the worst was behind.
Speaker 3: It's nothing to see here. We're on our way to
Speaker 3: a greater and more amazing future. Monthly inflation actually went
Speaker 3: up in January. Now remember it's already artificially being held
Speaker 3: down because of the money that they are trying to
Speaker 3: pay off or to pay off buy off people from
Speaker 3: the biggest house to the smaller shack in the bush
Speaker 3: when it comes to power prices, because their decisions in
Speaker 3: and around power did not deliver two hundred and seventy
Speaker 3: five dollars. So all of that has of course created
Speaker 3: a fictitious story in and around inflation.
Speaker 2: Well guess what.
Speaker 3: Unsurprisingly, the expectation here is that the Reserve Bank is
Speaker 3: paying attention to all of this and the chances of
Speaker 3: another interest rate fall, the one that the Prime Minister
Speaker 3: hopes would happen in the final week of an election campaign.
Speaker 3: Guess what, It's not going to happen now why in
Speaker 3: part because of the numbers that are around today. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: and you know how the government as well is not
Speaker 3: willing to talk about its own record, its own ideas
Speaker 3: pointing to its own success. Instead, they're going back to
Speaker 3: the politics of the two thousand and sixteen election, back
Speaker 3: with many scare and all of this is based off
Speaker 3: comments they have edited from two thousand and fourteen. Honestly,
Speaker 3: this stuff is not touching the sides. It's not moving
Speaker 3: the needle. It might fire up a few lefties, it
Speaker 3: might turn a few teals into labor voters and Greens
Speaker 3: into labor, but it's not going to move what has
Speaker 3: been that huge bulk of people that have been walking
Speaker 3: away from a government that promised for it to be better.
Speaker 3: And a perfect example of that today about why again
Speaker 3: they are trying to change the subject.
Speaker 2: Look over here, Look over here, look over here.
Speaker 3: They would love the distraction of the bright lights of
Speaker 3: Las Vegas in this lead up to the campaign, well
Speaker 3: Mark Butler, Today he and the government has signed.
Speaker 2: Off on and increase in how much you are going.
Speaker 3: To have to pay for your private insurance. Your private
Speaker 3: health insurance will go up. This will be caught up
Speaker 3: in the inflation numbers. But the hope is no one
Speaker 3: will be paying attention because by then.
Speaker 2: Questions shru answer, question, shru answer.
Speaker 3: We've been to this game many times before. Now few
Speaker 3: issues in and around China. You do not have to
Speaker 3: be blind, Freddy to understand that this government goes soft
Speaker 3: on China because.
Speaker 2: There is a political advantage in this.
Speaker 3: Now they should be as aggressive as possible in the
Speaker 3: response to China giving us the middle finger off our coasts.
Speaker 3: And how does it work that our defenses are so poor?
Speaker 3: And I'm talking about our electronic ones which should be
Speaker 3: able to monitor a few CA's of Sydney that it
Speaker 3: was forty minutes after Chinese warships started firing, that the
Speaker 3: Australian Defense Force was.
Speaker 2: Aware of it.
Speaker 3: And you know who found out before apparently a pilot
Speaker 3: from virgin who was flying in the area and decided
Speaker 3: to go around it.
Speaker 2: What is happen?
Speaker 3: Understandably the liberals, they think there are dare I say
Speaker 3: questions to answer.
Speaker 7: This does seem to be quite menacing behavior from somebody
Speaker 7: that is supposed to be an economic partner. And indeed,
Speaker 7: a relationship that Anthony Abernezi prides himself on doesn't sound
Speaker 7: like a particularly good relationship to me.
Speaker 3: And again, you know you don't upset China, because if
Speaker 3: you're upset China, there's one point four million voters that
Speaker 3: used to vote a certain way, then they voted a
Speaker 3: different way. And god forbid if it wasn't labor again
Speaker 3: in the upcoming election, which brings us to more federal
Speaker 3: MPs using an even worse version of.
Speaker 2: A Chinese surveillance app than TikTok.
Speaker 3: This one, I'm not even going to bother to promote
Speaker 3: it for you, but this is one that people were
Speaker 3: using as an alternative to TikTok when they thought the
Speaker 3: TikTok was going to be taken off the air. This
Speaker 3: thing has even less controls than that Chinese surveillance app
Speaker 3: Yet for some reason, Australian politicians they keep doing this.
Speaker 3: They are on this thing. The type of polis I'm
Speaker 3: talking about here. There's a Liberal MP, Keith Wallahan, Labor
Speaker 3: MP Jeremy laxel teals like Monique Ryan, and even the
Speaker 3: Victorian Premier.
Speaker 2: Why are they doing that?
Speaker 3: Meantime, the Opposition leaders promise one that he saw not
Speaker 3: two weeks ago, but he made it after the budget
Speaker 3: in May of last year, which is the no more
Speaker 3: foreign buyers in Australia in the real estate market. For
Speaker 3: the first couple of years of his Prime ministership. This
Speaker 3: was something that was.
Speaker 2: Popular with seventy three seventy three.
Speaker 3: Percent of people in marginal electorates, and so much so,
Speaker 3: of course, that the Labor Party ended up knocking it off.
Speaker 3: Well guess what, Before the Clayton's ban comes into place,
Speaker 3: there has been an explosion in a number of Chinese
Speaker 3: investors in the Australian property market. The latest Foreign Investment
Speaker 3: Review Board figures released this week covered the September quarter
Speaker 3: and they showedd bias from mainland. China approved for four
Speaker 3: hundred million dollars in Australian real estate purchases buy us
Speaker 3: from Hong Kong and Taiwan. China also approved one hundred
Speaker 3: million dollars respectively. Well, of course thy wants its own country,
Speaker 3: but you get my point. Taking it to six hundred
Speaker 3: million dollars unbelievable. Oh and by the way, if you
Speaker 3: think the Labour Party is doing exactly what the promise
Speaker 3: to Peter Dutton was, no, their ban is only on
Speaker 3: existing properties, which means Chinese investors will still be able
Speaker 3: to be the ones who can bid.
Speaker 2: Up on.
Speaker 3: Off the plan new places. It's not a ban. No
Speaker 3: giant surprise there, all right. A couple of other things
Speaker 3: to mention before we get into the celebration of rugby league,
Speaker 3: and then back to the big debate between of course
Speaker 3: the carryover champ in Bromwell Bishop and the man who's
Speaker 3: just here to help Stephen Conroy. Today should have been
Speaker 3: the eightieth birthday of one of my absolute heroes, and
Speaker 3: of course that is Peter Brock, the man who won
Speaker 3: the Batist one thousand, nine times, a phenomenal Australian who sadly,
Speaker 3: of course, after an accident in the early two thousands,
Speaker 3: is no longer with us. But strength and Larva was
Speaker 3: supported by so many people. And I know the people
Speaker 3: over at HDT in Sydney. They carry on his memory
Speaker 3: and they took to social media to recognize it.
Speaker 2: Today.
Speaker 3: The land of Trump where I am right now in
Speaker 3: a state of course that voted for Trump.
Speaker 2: Remember it's very red country right now.
Speaker 3: Donald Trump in the Oval Office, well, he decided to
Speaker 3: open lake in the middle finger again to the media.
Speaker 3: This time he was handing out hats that said Trump
Speaker 3: was always right.
Speaker 2: I have a look, right, you want one? Are you
Speaker 2: allowed to take one?
Speaker 3: Because he'll consider And I know him well, a stiff
Speaker 3: I said, you're Brian, You're not a stifler.
Speaker 2: Of a stiff guy. He'll take other things, but not
Speaker 2: a free head.
Speaker 3: Always say yes to the president, always say yes to
Speaker 3: anybody like one. And speaking of the US, so have
Speaker 3: I none other than the wonderful Magan Kelly.
Speaker 1: She joins us in moments, being pool is a big responsibility,
Speaker 1: Like you're the one who has to make sure there's
Speaker 1: eyes on the president at all times. I'm a little
Speaker 1: worried like you can't boot CNN and replace them with
Speaker 1: like a podcaster. That's that is not going to work.
Speaker 1: So I love the zealousness of it. I know the
Speaker 1: heart is in the right plays on the execution. I
Speaker 1: let's wait and see.
Speaker 2: Now again.
Speaker 3: I get it, there's lots of serious things in the world,
Speaker 3: but right now we are here to bring a little
Speaker 3: light in your life, to give you a bit of
Speaker 3: a smile, to give you a bit of a taste
Speaker 3: of what it's like to be in Sin City. Because literally,
Speaker 3: what happens in Vegas is not staying in Vegas. No,
Speaker 3: it is coming to your place. And this weekend what
Speaker 3: is coming to your place is Rugby League. The first
Speaker 3: round of the greatest game of all will be played
Speaker 3: at the Mighty Allegiance Stadium, the place where the NFL
Speaker 3: Super Bowl was held just twelve months ago. And I
Speaker 3: can tell you this joint, he's already teeming with people
Speaker 3: that are ready to back in the Warriors, the Raiders,
Speaker 3: the Panthers, the Sharks, the Jillarus, some.
Speaker 2: Teams from the UK as well.
Speaker 3: The man who's putting it all together, along with the
Speaker 3: wonderful Peter of Landy's, is none other than the Great
Speaker 3: Andrew Abdo, and he has set up a special place
Speaker 3: for Rossi fans to turn up. It'll officially open tomorrow
Speaker 3: US time, but he gave us a little sneak peek today.
Speaker 3: The great man Andrew Abdo, he is as excited as
Speaker 3: anyone about Las Vegas two point zero for rugby League
Speaker 3: start this year.
Speaker 2: How are you a great man?
Speaker 9: Goat to singpoul go to be in Vegas?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: How good is it?
Speaker 9: It is a great atmosphere. Like from the moment we
Speaker 9: left Sydney.
Speaker 10: You know, there was a buzz on the flight, people
Speaker 10: wearing their jumpers, fans of teams that aren't even playing,
Speaker 10: just jumpers of ederall teams. And then you know when
Speaker 10: you walked on the strip and you see the signage
Speaker 10: and you see the high lights being played on the
Speaker 10: big screens.
Speaker 9: You came but not be excited.
Speaker 2: What's this thing? Where As you know when we were
Speaker 2: flying over there was a family from far North Queensland.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of camber Raders people that are here,
Speaker 3: you know, panthers, people that are super excited, and there's
Speaker 3: they're not just wearing the merch that they're used to,
Speaker 3: They're wearing the stuff that's specific to hear because you
Speaker 3: get that sentence that, just like a state of origin decided,
Speaker 3: just like a Grand final, a destination has been created
Speaker 3: by you guys in the past couple of years, and
Speaker 3: people don't just want to be there, they want to
Speaker 3: commemorate being there.
Speaker 10: Absolutely, it's a week, right, and so we've got a
Speaker 10: fan fest on Thursday night. We've got fan Hubier where
Speaker 10: fans that have traveled and we've got about twenty thousand
Speaker 10: that have traveled, and we got about ten thousand coming
Speaker 10: from England, We've got about eight thousand coming from New Zealand,
Speaker 10: and we've got about fifteen thousand and izes. So it's
Speaker 10: going to be an absolute takeover. It's a regular league
Speaker 10: takeover of Vegas. What could go wrong?
Speaker 3: Nothing? Nothing, That's the thing. The planning is amazing. Now,
Speaker 3: give us an idea about the difficulty year two versus
Speaker 3: year one. I mean, obviously trying to work out where
Speaker 3: everything goes and then you're now trying to better it
Speaker 3: and perfect it. What's it like the second time around doing.
Speaker 9: This similar emotions.
Speaker 10: So we've learned a lot from year one and obviously
Speaker 10: that's helped us tremendously in preparation, but on marketing side,
Speaker 10: connecting more with US fans here, also on.
Speaker 9: The logistics side.
Speaker 10: But we also doubled the number of games, so we've got,
Speaker 10: you know, thinking about and little things like just having
Speaker 10: eight teams move through the stadium and preparing. You know,
Speaker 10: we've got like, I don't know, like nine thousand feet
Speaker 10: of meeting rooms sort of for each of the teams,
Speaker 10: keeping them all separate, making sure that they've got regular
Speaker 10: league high performance in Las Vegas. So just things like
Speaker 10: marking up the field in a regular league way. All
Speaker 10: those little things have been fun. We've got a great
Speaker 10: team and everyone's been working well together and every day
Speaker 10: brings with it new challenges and new surprises. But you know,
Speaker 10: the countdown is on and what three nights will be
Speaker 10: on the eve of the season opening.
Speaker 3: I've got to say, especial little detail about the stadium,
Speaker 3: Allegiance Stadium is that like a baking tray, the field
Speaker 3: comes out and the field goes in because they can't
Speaker 3: get enough sun while it's in there.
Speaker 2: The logistics of these.
Speaker 3: American stadiums, they are unbelievable. I mean, you know what
Speaker 3: it's like from the ground up to be involved in
Speaker 3: things like Allions in Sydney trying to reshape the Olympic Stadium.
Speaker 2: Obviously sun Corp.
Speaker 3: But this thing is the next level of like a
Speaker 3: playset about what you can do with it.
Speaker 9: It is phenomenal.
Speaker 10: I mean, it's a modern day Colosseum, is a magnificent
Speaker 10: stadium and as you say, the field traded bakes out
Speaker 10: in the sun and then it gets wheeled in the
Speaker 10: night before in a major event. Now, last year we
Speaker 10: had the Super Bowl just two weeks prior, so we
Speaker 10: had we needed the gross to really grow, to grow
Speaker 10: the paint out from all.
Speaker 9: The Super Bowl logos.
Speaker 10: So there was a lot of stress around but actually
Speaker 10: quite a good moment seeing the inneral logos and all
Speaker 10: the sponsor logos getting painted.
Speaker 9: Over the NFL logos. It was quite a good moment.
Speaker 10: But a lot of logistics in getting the stadium ready,
Speaker 10: getting configured. It's a bit narrower, so we've got extra
Speaker 10: support and extra padding, and obviously that turf comes in
Speaker 10: takes on an hour. It's quite nerve wracking, and then
Speaker 10: we put the posts up and the grass is only
Speaker 10: this deep because it's an artificial trade. So we've got
Speaker 10: to put reinforcements in for the post, so a lot
Speaker 10: of interesting challenges and a lot of logistics.
Speaker 3: Also, obviously, this is about trying to introduce this beautiful
Speaker 3: game to the US and that takes a whole new
Speaker 3: level like watching Aaron Woods popping up on wrestling programs,
Speaker 3: popping up on news programs, the program that the games themselves,
Speaker 3: at least one of them is going to be on
Speaker 3: free to wear American television. That is a giant leap
Speaker 3: from where anyone could have dreamed five years ago, let
Speaker 3: alone last year.
Speaker 10: Absolutely, I mean, we've planted a flag, but it is
Speaker 10: not a one sort. We want to keep growing and
Speaker 10: winning US fans. And we know that fans in America
Speaker 10: love Australia, they love Australian sport, and they love their
Speaker 10: sports generally.
Speaker 9: So the opportunity to expose.
Speaker 10: Them to and this year both men's and women's athletes,
Speaker 10: I mean the NLW players, the best of the best
Speaker 10: playing in the jill Us against England, I think is
Speaker 10: going to be a real opener for US fans. Just
Speaker 10: the speed and the intensity of Rugby League showcase at
Speaker 10: Allegiance Stadium. But as you say, on Free to Earn America,
Speaker 10: for the first time. It's an opportunity for us to
Speaker 10: really win the hearts and minds of US fans. Get
Speaker 10: them to know the athletes, get them to know the clubs,
Speaker 10: and also, you know, hopefully fall in love with our sport.
Speaker 3: How do we make sure that all of these players,
Speaker 3: you know, don't get raided by the WWE. You make
Speaker 3: sure that they actually leave Vegas and they don't stick
Speaker 3: around for WrestleMania in the same building a couple of
Speaker 3: weeks later.
Speaker 9: There's one thing I know about rugby league. It's completely unscripted,
Speaker 9: and we know our athletes love playing it, so I
Speaker 9: think we're okay. Good stuff.
Speaker 2: Congratulations Andrew see it. He's such a thrill to be here.
Speaker 2: God love Vegas and God love rugby League.
Speaker 3: He is such a great bloke and they have put
Speaker 3: so much effort in Congrats to everyone at the Narol.
Speaker 2: Well have a chat to be Peter Flandi's tomorrow.
Speaker 3: And also, this ripping location is not a special little
Speaker 3: secret spot. You can come here too if you ever
Speaker 3: get to Vegas. The BrewDog Brewery people are spectacular and
Speaker 3: this is the best outdoor venue that you will find
Speaker 3: anywhere up and down the Strip.
Speaker 2: It is twelve out of ten.
Speaker 3: We're going to be here for the next couple of
Speaker 3: nights and in a moment or two time we get back.
Speaker 2: To Australian politics with Bishops Stephen Conroy and Meghan Kelly.
Speaker 3: A little bit later, when we talked to a whole
Speaker 3: bunch of rugby league fans as we're live from the
Speaker 3: Brew Dog, here.
Speaker 2: Are Paul Murray live.
Speaker 3: A very good friend just texted me with a very
Speaker 3: good question, which was hanging Paul, I thought you were
Speaker 3: in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2: What's with the.
Speaker 3: Giant sign saying New York, New York. Well, of course
Speaker 3: that is one of the sinos here in Las Vegas.
Speaker 3: And one of the cool things about the strip is
Speaker 3: that all of these these mega now they don't.
Speaker 2: Call them Cassennasi, they call them hotels.
Speaker 3: Well, the hotels are themed. So you've got in that
Speaker 3: shot there on the left hand side the MGM, that's
Speaker 3: the place whereber the UFC was for ages David Copperfield.
Speaker 2: That's the one that's got you know. The big line
Speaker 2: on the other side.
Speaker 3: Of the road is New York, New York, which is
Speaker 3: built up literally to look like the city. Go inside
Speaker 3: and it feels like you're in the city and there's
Speaker 3: a roller coaster around that at the very end of
Speaker 3: the strip, and that's the southern end of the strip
Speaker 3: that you're looking at right now is Mandalay Bay and
Speaker 3: there's a bar at the very top that I went
Speaker 3: to with mates ages ago, called the Foundation Room, and
Speaker 3: it has a spectacular view looking back. But all of
Speaker 3: that cover charge, all the rest of that, none of
Speaker 3: that at Brudog all right, you can roll on in,
Speaker 3: sample the product and make the most of the time.
Speaker 3: We'll take you up and down the strip a little
Speaker 3: bit later and look at some of those themed some
Speaker 3: of those themed casinos. There are ones that are everything
Speaker 3: to do with you know, pyramids all the way through
Speaker 3: to Paris and Rome and all of it.
Speaker 2: It is just an incredible place to be. And they
Speaker 2: even have their own version of the Eiffel Tower. All right.
Speaker 3: Steven Conroy joins us in a moment or two. But
Speaker 3: brom and Bishops that carry out a champ So let's
Speaker 3: start with her.
Speaker 2: And she's in the man cave right now keeping eye
Speaker 2: on everything for us. I do like it, all right,
Speaker 2: So Bromwin.
Speaker 3: Questions to answer. We know it's a smear campaign. Or
Speaker 3: it is some four D chess where we get him
Speaker 3: to deny it and then four days later this happens,
Speaker 3: which means it is all orchestrated. It means we're going
Speaker 3: back to where they were when they tried to pull
Speaker 3: Scott Morrison apart towards the mid part of his prime ministership.
Speaker 3: What do you think about this stuff? And what if
Speaker 3: anything she doesn't do?
Speaker 11: As a response, well, let's remember that the dirt file
Speaker 11: mechanism was started by Paul Keating. He had the courage
Speaker 11: to come out and deal with his own dirt file
Speaker 11: and he personally would say what was the problem with
Speaker 11: his opponent? But this man, this weak, timid prime Minister,
Speaker 11: doesn't even have the courage to back up his own
Speaker 11: dirty work. He sends out underlings to do it for him.
Speaker 11: Mean girl Katie Gallagher or the loquacious what I mean? Seriously,
Speaker 11: I think the way that Peterick doesn't dealt with it
Speaker 11: today by simply saying I'm here to ask you questions
Speaker 11: and did so said how he had dealt with property
Speaker 11: and how he's been successful, And doesn't that show perhaps
Speaker 11: that he knows how to deal with economic signals? Doesn't
Speaker 11: it show that he knows how to manage the economy
Speaker 11: much more than the timid, weak little man who today
Speaker 11: was just throwing away billions of dollars more without any
Speaker 11: way of trying to say whether the money was coming from,
Speaker 11: and without trying again feeding inflation.
Speaker 2: But also, you know, when you.
Speaker 3: Get closer to an election, you want the messages to
Speaker 3: be frankly louder, clearer and simpler. At some point in time,
Speaker 3: you want people to be able to start repeating back.
Speaker 3: The advertising that's around this stuff is very granular, very old,
Speaker 3: very inside baseball, and that keeps a certain section of
Speaker 3: the media excited. But I'm just not sure what the
Speaker 3: one two punch is here. Again, if something's coming then
Speaker 3: none of us can see. Well, we'll all find out together,
Speaker 3: But it just feels like we've been through a couple
Speaker 3: of days. Questions to answer is the game, and that's
Speaker 3: just a way of keeping it going when the reality
Speaker 3: is For Peter Dunton, okay, he stood up, He took
Speaker 3: the questions. Remember Julia Gillard a way back when, that
Speaker 3: was her answer to questions to answer for her way
Speaker 3: back when. And then you say, well, you know we're
Speaker 3: done with this, right I don't understand how a twenty
Speaker 3: twenty five election campaign can be defined by things said
Speaker 3: and not said in twenty and fourteen, or things done
Speaker 3: and not done in two thousand and nine.
Speaker 11: Well, Alberaneze wouldn't even answer today whether or not his
Speaker 11: Coca Cabana mansion is negatively geared. I mean, he just
Speaker 11: refused to answer. I mean, there is no consistency in
Speaker 11: the way the story is being dealt with at all.
Speaker 11: And I think it is interesting that it was only
Speaker 11: one journalist on one paper that chose to run it.
Speaker 11: And I think that Peter Dutton, by coming out and
Speaker 11: dealing with it, has dealt with it. And then we
Speaker 11: go back to the questions of the fact that inflation
Speaker 11: for January has in fact risen again. I mean, this
Speaker 11: is the man who they were ready the ALP to
Speaker 11: go to the polls on the seventh of December. As
Speaker 11: I've told you, he lost his nerve and every day
Speaker 11: he stayed since it's got worse and worse, and it's
Speaker 11: not going to get any better, all right.
Speaker 3: Stephen Conroy joins us in a second, till then one
Speaker 3: way traffic to carry have a champ and many people
Speaker 3: be more than happy for that to be the way
Speaker 3: that this segment works is the wonder all Brodwin Bishops.
Speaker 3: We're here in Vegas getting ready for the footy. You'll
Speaker 3: see it all on Fox Sports and KA and we'll
Speaker 3: be celebrating that again here tomorrow night with even bigger
Speaker 3: insights into this beautiful, beautiful city that.
Speaker 2: I know oh so very well.
Speaker 3: I know the Gold Coast at the back of my hand.
Speaker 3: I know Vegas by the back of my eyelids sometimes.
Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about some polling that showed that
Speaker 3: the Teals aren't moving anywhere. Now, Sorry, you want to
Speaker 3: talk about Vegas. This is what you're desperate to get
Speaker 3: in on Vegas. Got a Vegas story before me, Bromwin.
Speaker 11: I was just saying, I am here being there.
Speaker 9: I love to be in the game.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what it's It's what about half
Speaker 3: past two in the morning here, and it's about half
Speaker 3: us nine in Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney. So you know,
Speaker 3: I'm right, I'm fine to be doing my best work
Speaker 3: here in the middle of the.
Speaker 2: Night in Vegas and in primetime on Sky News.
Speaker 3: All right, So about the Teals, So they're put forward
Speaker 3: or someone has put forward a whole bunch of polling
Speaker 3: that shows nothing's going to move for the Teals.
Speaker 2: Now this again, we've been looking for the data.
Speaker 3: We know that in certain seats that there were very
Speaker 3: close results when it comes to the referendum.
Speaker 2: But how do you think the Liberal Party should deal
Speaker 2: with this?
Speaker 3: Because the reality is that they seem to be making
Speaker 3: very good inroads in suburban areas and to maybe take
Speaker 3: on a till then they've got to moderate in a
Speaker 3: way that maybe the suburbs don't want. You're a person
Speaker 3: who of course represented a seat that ended up going
Speaker 3: that shade of green. What's your advice about this polling
Speaker 3: and your reaction to it.
Speaker 11: Well, it, first of all, have reminds me of the
Speaker 11: polling that went on in the latter part of the
Speaker 11: Trump campaign when Iowa rolled out, the Democrats rolled out
Speaker 11: hitherto Fall, well respected polster who said that Harris was
Speaker 11: going to win and she was aired by three points.
Speaker 11: Then you had the New York poll that said he
Speaker 11: was going to win. All those seats that in fact
Speaker 11: were one by North Carolina and Wisconsin and so on Nevada,
Speaker 11: they were all won by Trump. So what shows is
Speaker 11: that polling itself has become a tool to be used
Speaker 11: in campaigning, and that is exactly what's happening with the
Speaker 11: Teals polling. And if you look at the statement that
Speaker 11: the Member for went Worth May the other day when
Speaker 11: she said she would be prepared to talk to mister
Speaker 11: Dutton to indeed perhaps back him, because that's the sort
Speaker 11: of statement you make when you're alarmed that you're losing votes.
Speaker 11: So I wouldn't be too too fussed about that polling.
Speaker 11: I think it's a tool that Time at two hundred
Speaker 11: are using. They use every trick in the book. They
Speaker 11: really are a dishonest slot.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to go down the full rabbit hole here,
Speaker 3: but Stephen Conroy, well, due to the joys of time
Speaker 3: zones and all the rest of it. Finally, and he's
Speaker 3: here to hell and he's in Adelaide right now, Stephen,
Speaker 3: I'll give you one minute on why questions to answer
Speaker 3: Peter Dunton two thousand and nine is the stop the
Speaker 3: precious moment of this election.
Speaker 5: Look, I think it'll be fish and chip rapper by
Speaker 5: next week at the latest. So I think there's it's
Speaker 5: a good distraction. It's a clever bit of nimbleness to
Speaker 5: respond to some of Dutton's nimborenness recently, but on the
Speaker 5: fundamental points, Broman was dead right. You saw the oil
Speaker 5: and gas industry put out a poll in Chiney seat
Speaker 5: in West Australia saying, hy, it's all over, she's finished.
Speaker 5: We should take that with the same grain of salt
Speaker 5: that Broman just described. We should take the climate two
Speaker 5: hundred polling as a grain of salt.
Speaker 3: So talking about I mean we're talking and off their
Speaker 3: often about this question of data and data when it
Speaker 3: comes to seats. We know that there's the Red Bridge
Speaker 3: stuff and the Yugub stuff that's turned around and said, oh,
Speaker 3: seventy three is the tippy top. We know that in
Speaker 3: the freshwater they have suggestions of how many will be one,
Speaker 3: how many.
Speaker 2: Will be lost?
Speaker 3: Again from both of you as people who know how
Speaker 3: to read numbers, and obviously we all get to know
Speaker 3: together the true result.
Speaker 2: Are we getting a better flow.
Speaker 3: Of information or are we just getting more information Stephen
Speaker 3: about some of the granular stuff in and around elections,
Speaker 3: and that partly builds narratives rather than just an insight
Speaker 3: as to what's going on.
Speaker 5: Yeah, look, I think some of the polling that you've
Speaker 5: just mentioned there is beginning to give us a more
Speaker 5: informed view. I think some of it is going to
Speaker 5: be color movement and noise for exactly the reasons that
Speaker 5: Bronwyn has just described. But as numbers build up in
Speaker 5: both the seats and adjoining seats, a sort of redbridge
Speaker 5: what they're calling the rolling track or rolling pole, some
Speaker 5: of the freshwater polling will built on its previous polls.
Speaker 5: You go, I hope we'll have greater numbers, because at
Speaker 5: the moment those numbers in each seat are probably too
Speaker 5: small to be taken too seriously. But I'm assuming they're
Speaker 5: going to be building those numbers for it so you
Speaker 5: can get a better picture. But you're needing I would
Speaker 5: idee I'm going to be unkind to the pulses because
Speaker 5: I pull their hair out because it costs too much money.
Speaker 9: But over a three or four week very net about.
Speaker 5: Eight hundred to one thousand to be able to begin
Speaker 5: to feel comfortable A three hundred pole in a seat
Speaker 5: not worth the paper it's written on. But the rolling averages,
Speaker 5: where the bottom numbers from a week ago drop off
Speaker 5: and the new numbers come on, you might begin to
Speaker 5: get a flavor. If that is an eight hundred sample.
Speaker 11: There's another thing.
Speaker 3: That well, we're actually going to get a version of
Speaker 3: that on Sorry Rob, and I was going to say,
Speaker 3: we're actually going to get a new version of that
Speaker 3: rolling stuff. We'll have a chat to Coss on the
Speaker 3: team from Redbridges, part of our conversation about the state
Speaker 3: of the race that will be on Sunday here on
Speaker 3: Palmria Life.
Speaker 2: Sorry Bromin.
Speaker 11: I was just going to say, there's that feeling on
Speaker 11: the ground when people are prepared to raise it with you,
Speaker 11: when you're standing in a queue at the supermarket, when
Speaker 11: you you're in what is normally an area where nobody
Speaker 11: wants to talk politics, people are prepared to say they
Speaker 11: want to change a government. And that's the sort of
Speaker 11: feeling that may or may not be reflected in those polls.
Speaker 11: But when you're in a campaign, and I've been through
Speaker 11: a few, you know a feeling on the ground when
Speaker 11: something is starting to move.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And look, we'll find out more as it rolls on,
Speaker 3: whether that election is called this weekend or not. Will
Speaker 3: be all across it all day every day here on
Speaker 3: Sky News. Make sure that it is your homepage. I'm
Speaker 3: telling you sky news dot com that are you. Make
Speaker 3: sure you follow a like, subscribe all of that business
Speaker 3: on YouTube.
Speaker 2: Get the podcasts. That's the plugs now.
Speaker 3: By the way, thank you Steven Conroy for turning up
Speaker 3: because there was some threats, but because I'm here living
Speaker 3: it up in Las Vegas. You know hattan all very
Speaker 3: comfortable fat guy shirt that I've got on. You were
Speaker 3: going to go on a workband, but no, you showed
Speaker 3: me that you're the bigger.
Speaker 2: Man, mat a man. You turned up. You turned up.
Speaker 5: I'm wearing sunglasses next week. If you're going to wear
Speaker 5: more shirts like that, Paul and I'm more important.
Speaker 9: I hope you're able to check in the hotel.
Speaker 2: Ok.
Speaker 5: I've been reading stories for you. Not every robe's out.
Speaker 5: A checking hotel is easily. I've had in a slaving
Speaker 5: bassball recently.
Speaker 2: That's a very good point.
Speaker 3: There may be a story about that at another time,
Speaker 3: just when I make sure I've got my head on
Speaker 3: a pillow at some point tonight. All right, let's talk
Speaker 3: about Matt Kean, because Matt Kean is out and about saying,
Speaker 3: oh goodness me, if there's a change of government, then
Speaker 3: I won't continue on as the Labor Party's independence.
Speaker 2: Are when it comes to climate change. I think that
Speaker 2: Australia should have a system.
Speaker 3: That is much more like the American one, which is
Speaker 3: when there's a change of government, when you can you
Speaker 3: remove as many people as possible who are going to
Speaker 3: try to slow play the ball. Could you care less
Speaker 3: about the plight of Matt Kean Bromwin.
Speaker 11: No, I couldn't. And I think it's quite pathetic to
Speaker 11: see him crawling and saying, please, you saved my job.
Speaker 11: I mean, really, this is the man who's been behind
Speaker 11: so many untruths regarding climate change. As I used to say,
Speaker 11: Malcolm Turnbo was the organ grinder and Matt Kean was
Speaker 11: just the monkey. And he's proven to be just that.
Speaker 11: And he's obviously available to whichever side pays him the most,
Speaker 11: and now he's going to wins because he might lose it.
Speaker 11: There is a very big case to be made out
Speaker 11: to get rid of so many quongos as they are
Speaker 11: known in the political parlance, all these sorts of agencies
Speaker 11: that are really are a waste of taxpayers money, and
Speaker 11: we should get a whole list of them and start
Speaker 11: to go through them with a red pencil and start
Speaker 11: with the one that is headed up by Matt Kean.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's of course part of the focus on
Speaker 3: ambijinper Price Aussie doage. We'll get to her later. Final
Speaker 3: one here is Steven about a word of comfort for
Speaker 3: mister King.
Speaker 5: Now, look, I've unfortunately evolved from being a supporter of
Speaker 5: the true British parliamentary Westminster public servants. I'm now much
Speaker 5: more in favor of what you were suggesting that there
Speaker 5: should be a much broader class of public servants that
Speaker 5: fall into that political appointment category. I think governments of
Speaker 5: both sides are increasingly frustrated with who they inherit along
Speaker 5: the way, so I think there should not be any
Speaker 5: surprise if a government wants to put in place to
Speaker 5: people who will deliver on its agenda. I wouldn't reach
Speaker 5: as far in as Trump and Doge you've been doing,
Speaker 5: because obviously then you've got to rehire the people you
Speaker 5: stupidly sacked that look after the nuclear arsenal for instance.
Speaker 5: But I do think Paul your suggestion that there needs
Speaker 5: to be a much broader and deeper group that the
Speaker 5: governments of the day, the newly actually are entitled to
Speaker 5: a point that is a better model moving to more
Speaker 5: of the American than the British.
Speaker 2: Well, I like it, Thank you, lad lady. We'll talk
Speaker 2: to you again next week.
Speaker 3: I've got to jump because I want to talk about
Speaker 3: the people that are here and celebrating Rugby Ley.
Speaker 2: We'll talk to you guys.
Speaker 3: Again very soon. Sorry, b I'm going to cut you off.
Speaker 3: We've got Meg and Kelly standing by, which is why
Speaker 3: I've got to be quick.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 3: These are some of the thousands and thousands of people,
Speaker 3: more than forty five thousand people who've already bought a
Speaker 3: ticket to the game this weekend. All right, boys, how
Speaker 3: we feeling Raiders in Las Vegas?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 9: Very confident?
Speaker 2: Why did you come to Vegas to watch the Warriors?
Speaker 6: Because I going to win the Warriors of course, hopefully
Speaker 6: Panthers the Panthers again.
Speaker 2: Here we go, here we go, So I have to change,
Speaker 2: but I mean, always a Warrior. But yet how do
Speaker 2: you end up a sharky stand.
Speaker 5: Because I bought the shirt when I went to Australia
Speaker 5: to watch employee.
Speaker 2: So piecing our time? What do you want to do
Speaker 2: here in Vegas?
Speaker 7: Our way down the.
Speaker 9: Street, We're got a helicopter over the Grand Canyon.
Speaker 2: We're going to get into the sphere.
Speaker 9: We're going to the ice hockey and of course then
Speaker 9: are off. We're going to fly up and down the
Speaker 9: strip with local music.
Speaker 2: See the lights.
Speaker 3: It's a mind bending place, isn't it. It's just you
Speaker 3: look around and you go, this is the way Disneyland
Speaker 3: should be.
Speaker 2: It's unreal.
Speaker 9: It's just bigger than life.
Speaker 2: I like it here. It's a bit of an eye
Speaker 2: opener and a lot going on.
Speaker 1: We've literally just hopped up the plane so it's still
Speaker 1: are the bright lights and everything's rafteen.
Speaker 3: There's the people that are watching at home if their
Speaker 3: team plays next to you, why come to Vegas?
Speaker 9: Why wouldn't you look at it?
Speaker 7: It's just the once in a lifetime opportunity.
Speaker 2: It's amazing. Yeah, we've got to do it. Yeah bloody,
Speaker 2: it's a good fun got to get.
Speaker 9: You just do it, Just just go.
Speaker 11: You have to go and experience the lights, the found everything,
Speaker 11: the shows, the concerts and of course three.
Speaker 10: Hopop granoa up the Panthers.
Speaker 9: Let's go.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Vegas.
Speaker 3: We are here getting ready for the Rugby League this weekend.
Speaker 3: Now our favorite person to talk to each and every
Speaker 3: week is the wonderful Meghan Kelly. Now sadly she's not
Speaker 3: in Las Vegas, she's on the other side of the country.
Speaker 2: But isn't it great to be in trump Land? Baby?
Speaker 1: I'm so jealous. I wish I were in Vegas. I mean,
Speaker 1: put one hundred bucks on Black seventeen and Roulette for me.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: I want to get some Vegas stories from you in
Speaker 3: a second, But let's deal with some of the news
Speaker 3: that's around this week, including lefties have now worked out
Speaker 3: a new headfake that will apparently completely pull apart megaland
Speaker 3: now James Carvill, who of course put things together for
Speaker 3: Bill Clinton about thirty years ago. He said Kamala Harris
Speaker 3: was definitely going to win, and then he said he
Speaker 3: always knew she wasn't gonna win. And now he says
Speaker 3: that the Trump administration is going to dissolve in the
Speaker 3: next thirty diys.
Speaker 1: It's amazing. It's just wishful thinking. You know, remember Rick Wilson,
Speaker 1: that Lincoln Project guy. The night of the election or
Speaker 1: before the election, like Trump's going to lose, He's going
Speaker 1: to lose badly, He's going to be a bloodbat. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was like he's still out there drifting. He's actually
Speaker 1: still out there trying to raise money with a Lincoln project. Okay,
Speaker 1: I mean, good luck, enjoy that. That looks like a
Speaker 1: lot of fun. No one's listening to you. But I
Speaker 1: have to say I'm kind of I'm kind of surprised
Speaker 1: by Carvil who he's not woke. He's been trying to
Speaker 1: speak straight to his party for a long time about
Speaker 1: how wokeness is driving them off a cliff. He wasn't
Speaker 1: a Kamala Harris fan. He was one of the smart
Speaker 1: voices saying we do need to get rid of Biden,
Speaker 1: but we should have an open primary to get somebody
Speaker 1: who could actually win in there. He wasn't pro Kamala,
Speaker 1: and then in the end he got on board because
Speaker 1: he's a good little Democrat and did what he needed
Speaker 1: to do. But to hear him say Trump is dissembling
Speaker 1: and in thirty days his presidency will basically have collapsed,
Speaker 1: that's crazy talk. That's like you've been hitting the peyote.
Speaker 1: I mean, I haven't even heard the lefties on MSNBC
Speaker 1: talk like that. So I'm not sure what's going on there,
Speaker 1: whether he's trying to manifest it, you know, how like
Speaker 1: the girls do they manifest the skinny thighs, skinny thighs, skinny?
Speaker 1: Is that what he's doing? Not sure that one's not
Speaker 1: going to end well for him. We'll talk in thirty
Speaker 1: days now.
Speaker 3: I love when Trump gets into the head of the media.
Speaker 3: He's lived there free for the best part of ten years,
Speaker 3: and as the president. I love today that he was
Speaker 3: handing at Trump was right hats to the media. I
Speaker 3: of course respectfully declined them because you know their bosses
Speaker 3: would be offended. But also today some controversy that the
Speaker 3: normal people who get to follow the president around might
Speaker 3: be doing that anymore.
Speaker 1: It's funny because on that one, I actually I'm not worry.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if that's a good call to be honest,
Speaker 1: the pool thing, because I know what they're trying to do.
Speaker 1: But being pool is a big responsibility. Like you're the
Speaker 1: one who has to make sure there's eyes on the
Speaker 1: president at all times and that whatever he's doing is
Speaker 1: being recorded. God forbid anything should happen to him. You've
Speaker 1: got the responsibility for letting everybody else know. You do
Speaker 1: need a journalistic outfit with resources. You know, it takes
Speaker 1: a lot of resources to cover the president like that.
Speaker 1: You got to you gotta have the right to cameras,
Speaker 1: you got to have the right wires, you know. Just
Speaker 1: think what it takes to do a normal shoot, like
Speaker 1: a two person shoot, never mind with the president, and
Speaker 1: now think of yourself as the only one who might
Speaker 1: have eyes on him, like it is an expensive and
Speaker 1: an important responsibility. I just I'm I'm a little worried,
Speaker 1: Like you can't boot CNN and replace them with like
Speaker 1: a podcaster's That is not going to work. So I
Speaker 1: love the zealousness of it. I know the heart is
Speaker 1: in the right place on the execution. I let's wait
Speaker 1: and see it because this needs to be handled.
Speaker 2: Well, that's a really good point because people need to understand.
Speaker 3: Look, it's hot todd right now for Trump and the
Speaker 3: end of working and all the rest of it. But
Speaker 3: the reality is maybe the next election the one after that,
Speaker 3: who knows, but the tide is going to go back out.
Speaker 2: So people need to understand. If you are, like me, excited.
Speaker 3: To say the establishment media copying it, well, guess what
Speaker 3: when a Democrat's in there, they're going to boot out
Speaker 3: a lot of the media that we like. And we
Speaker 3: can't complain if we are willing to chiet Trump on
Speaker 3: while he's doing it to his enemies.
Speaker 1: Well, and I don't think they are doing a purge.
Speaker 1: They're trying to realign who gets to be pool.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 1: And I used to cover the White House a little
Speaker 1: bit when I was a young reporter, and you would
Speaker 1: always just get like Pool reports as follows, you know,
Speaker 1: Pool reports. They've called a lid, meaning no more presidential appearances,
Speaker 1: and then your responsibility kind of closed down because he
Speaker 1: wasn't going to be coming out. But like when the
Speaker 1: pool is on, you really do have responsibilities to make
Speaker 1: sure like you're the eyes and ears of the nation
Speaker 1: for that moment. It's not like you're in there peppering
Speaker 1: with him with questions. It's not as much an editorial
Speaker 1: role as it is just like eyes and ears to
Speaker 1: document what he's doing and so like on something like that,
Speaker 1: it's we have to make sure we have somebody with
Speaker 1: resources in there covering him so we don't miss a moment.
Speaker 1: And it's not in amateur hands. When it comes to
Speaker 1: the tech, I'm thinking about the tech, but what's happening
Speaker 1: right now to really only the ap He hasn't really
Speaker 1: been picking anybody else. It's totally fair game, and I
Speaker 1: would not complain if a future Democratic administration did this
Speaker 1: to Fox News or anybody else who leans right in
Speaker 1: their coverage. All he said was, you don't have the
Speaker 1: right to come into the Oval, and you don't have
Speaker 1: the right to come on Air Force one with me,
Speaker 1: And that's totally fair. There will be somebody from POOL
Speaker 1: and there will be any other outlet that he wants
Speaker 1: to allow in those spots, but there's no right to
Speaker 1: be in those relatively private spaces for the president with him.
Speaker 1: AP did not lose their seat in the White House
Speaker 1: Press briefing room, though others are pretending they did. They didn't.
Speaker 1: That would be a much bigger deal. Trump stopped at
Speaker 1: that line because he knew it would be a big
Speaker 1: one to cross. I don't do I go into the Oval.
Speaker 1: I do not do I go onto Air Force one
Speaker 1: with President Trump.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 1: But you know what, I managed to cover him thanks
Speaker 1: to POOL, right, I get the reports. Other outlets have access,
Speaker 1: They tell me what happened. It doesn't allow me to
Speaker 1: ask all the questions, but AP can do that in
Speaker 1: the press briefing, So they have no right to be
Speaker 1: in there. And if I may like a word on
Speaker 1: the AP. They're absolutely disgusting. They used to be the
Speaker 1: gold standard what we would all defer to when it
Speaker 1: comes to the way we refer to certain things and
Speaker 1: events and with the language because they played it right
Speaker 1: down the middle. They are far left. They're basically Al Jazeera. Now.
Speaker 1: You would not believe the list of things are the
Speaker 1: gender insanity. You know, if it's a boy pretending to
Speaker 1: be a girl, you have to call him she her.
Speaker 1: If it's a boy pretending a girl, you have to
Speaker 1: say he was a signed male at birth, you know,
Speaker 1: like it was a sin a doctor committed against him,
Speaker 1: as opposed to saying he was born a boy because
Speaker 1: that's what God made him. No, they've abandoned that. After
Speaker 1: George Floyd. They got rid of the word riot. Couldn't
Speaker 1: say riot in your reports in the AP anymore. Had
Speaker 1: to be protests, and then riots were resurrected and allowed
Speaker 1: only for January sixth, which could be called not protest
Speaker 1: but a riot or an insurrection. Both were fine, but
Speaker 1: not when you're talking about George Floyd. And when you're
Speaker 1: on the subject to George Floyd, if you're talking about
Speaker 1: the looting and the crimes being committed by the protesters.
Speaker 1: You have to make sure you report on their underlying grievance.
Speaker 1: Very important. Underlining grievance has to be in there. You
Speaker 1: can't say Islamic terrorism. You can't. You have to talk
Speaker 1: about it's they've lost their ever loving mind. So I
Speaker 1: don't care that they can't sit next to Trump on
Speaker 1: Air Force one.
Speaker 2: Oh boom, boom boom. I love it. I love it now.
Speaker 3: I love this city too. I've been here for box weeks.
Speaker 3: I've been here with lots of people. I've been here
Speaker 3: by myself. I've been here with my wife, and I
Speaker 3: just love the experience of this city.
Speaker 2: What is Megan Chilly's Las Vegas story.
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you two things. Number One, I,
Speaker 1: as a woman, I think had a very different experience
Speaker 1: than you have had or are having as a man.
Speaker 1: Every time I've been in Vegas, I've been there maybe
Speaker 1: four times, maybe more. I go to the spa, I
Speaker 1: go as like a girl's trip. I might go with
Speaker 1: my husband. But you go to the spa and you
Speaker 1: get a massage, and then you go pull side and
Speaker 1: you have a cocktail, and then you put on a
Speaker 1: slinky dress and you go through the casino and maybe
Speaker 1: you do a couple of hands of gambling. I like blackjack.
Speaker 1: I'll do a little roulette. My husband loves crap, so
Speaker 1: if I'm with him, we'll do that. Maybe you taking
Speaker 1: a show that's fun, do one of the fun like
Speaker 1: outdoor oxygen tanks. I don't know the weird stuff, but
Speaker 1: like very little time actually gambling at a table. So
Speaker 1: that's number one. And what was the second thing I
Speaker 1: was going to tell you about Vegas? Oh that what
Speaker 1: happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, and it's none of
Speaker 1: your damn business.
Speaker 2: I love it. I love it.
Speaker 3: Say this town's got plenty for everyone. I'll see you
Speaker 3: next week when I'm back in Australia or my remains
Speaker 3: given to my wife. No, no, great town, don't worry,
Speaker 3: don't mucking around this time.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Megan. We'll see you next week.
Speaker 1: Okay, you too, babe, see.
Speaker 2: You later, Rockstar.
Speaker 3: All right, that's our show from Vegas. Don't forget the
Speaker 3: footy coming up this weekend, same time, same location here
Speaker 3: at brew Dog, the best balcony in town. Make sure
Speaker 3: you check us out again tomorrow night. Remember you can
Speaker 3: always seen me an.
Speaker 2: Email Paulitz Gunwes dot com dot are you, and tomorrow.
Speaker 3: I will give you Pauli's Guide to Vegas that does
Speaker 3: not include gambling, that does not include smoking, and that
Speaker 3: does not include drinking.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, there's a whole town for that
