How do you leave that? Of the 18 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 4: best Healthcarenral? 19 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 3: But first, the Liberal Party will vote for a new 20 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 3: leader this week. The choice is likely to be between 21 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 3: two contenders, Shadow Treacher Angus Taylor. 22 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 2: And acting Opposition leader Susan Lee. 23 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 3: Now the pair are locked in a tight contest, with 24 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,559 Speaker 3: both of them promising to end the so called civil 25 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 3: war between the party's conservative and moderate factions. Ahead of 26 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 3: tomorrow's party room ballad Angus Taylor has said he'll reward 27 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 3: talent over factional allegiances, bring more women into the party's leadership, 28 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 3: and make the Liberal Party campaign fitter, flatter, faster and 29 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 3: more focused. Meanwhile, Susan Lee has said that if the 30 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 3: party elects her as leader, it would send a very 31 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 3: strong signal that we understand that things must be done differently. 32 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 3: She also told colleagues that the Liberal Party must respect 33 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 3: modern Australia, reflect modern Australia and represent modern Australia. 34 00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 2: Sounds like Malcolm Turnbull in a skirt. 35 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 3: Joining me now for more on this is chief economist 36 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 3: and senior Fellow at the Institute of Public Affairs, Adam Crichton. Adam, 37 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 3: how do you see this contest? 38 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 2: Look? 39 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 5: Well, I'm not going to pick a personal favorite, but 40 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 5: I do notice that in both their statements they've said 41 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 5: nothing about policy yet, so I don't know who's going 42 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 5: to have the best set of policy. They've just they've 43 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 5: just made the usual slogans and a dine phrases. I mean, 44 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 5: who do I think they will probably go with? I mean, 45 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 5: I imagine Susan Lee because she's a woman, and it's sad 46 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 5: that that's a factor. I think personally, I think people 47 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 5: you know, should be choosing leaders on who's the best leader, 48 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 5: not the sex of the person. But certainly, you know, 49 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 5: the conventional political wisdom would be, you know, go with 50 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 5: a woman because the Labor Party will find that harder 51 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 5: to attack. But you know, I don't think the party 52 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 5: generally needs a lot of unity at the moment. It'd 53 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 5: be fine with me if there was a lot of debate, 54 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 5: a lot of squabbles going on, both in public and private, 55 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 5: so the party can work out what they actually stand for. 56 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 2: I mean, it's been. 57 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 5: A massive loss, there's no shying away from that. And 58 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 5: my view is to get back to their core Liberal party, 59 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 5: liberal party principles of low taxation, free speech, individual rights, 60 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 5: enterprise and so forth. They seem to have lost that, 61 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 5: and so whichever leader is for that, that's. 62 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 2: The one that I would before. 63 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 3: Well, the identity crisis is significant within the Liberal Party. 64 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 3: Precisely who they are, what they stand for. That seems 65 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,239 Speaker 3: to be a confusing issue, and I think that was 66 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 3: behind this really lackluster, weak, unprincipled election campaign where they 67 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 3: were labor lite and they've had major donors tell them 68 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 3: that and if you're going to run another labor lighte campaign, 69 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 3: don't expect to see any donations from that group. On 70 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 3: Susan Lee, who has added an extra s to her 71 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 3: given name because of numerology. 72 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: That's fantastic, isn't it. Wells just got a. 73 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 3: Long track record of being on the wrong side of 74 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 3: debates from the voice to the Middle East issue, to 75 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 3: cultural war issues. This is just last year. Now some 76 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 3: things you can say, well, she's changed her mind. That 77 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 3: was five years ago, that was ten years ago. 78 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 2: This was last year. 79 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 3: This is her promoting the deeply flawed activist gender wage report. 80 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 6: I'm pleased to see the scrutiny that is being applied 81 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 6: today with the release of this data to organizations in Australia. 82 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,559 Speaker 6: My message to corporate Australia is it's not good enough 83 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 6: to have a morning tea and cupcakes and pink icing. 84 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 2: Now. 85 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 3: We had conservative women like myself Janet Albrigson, We had 86 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 3: senators like alex Antique Mamcanavan picking holes in this ridiculous report. 87 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 3: It had holes you could drive a truck through. Deeply flawed, 88 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 3: and yet we've got the deputy leader going there and 89 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 3: advocating it like an activist. 90 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 2: I mean, this is my problem with her, that. 91 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 3: She's led by the bureaucrats and she needs to be 92 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 3: convinced that a position is an actual liberal position. 93 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 2: The Voice is a perfect example. 94 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 3: She was pro voice and then she became an outspoken 95 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 3: critic when the party adopted that position. 96 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 2: It's not exactly authentic. 97 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 7: No, look, certainly that's true. 98 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 5: And you know, to be fair, I know I've been 99 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 5: away for four years out of the country, but Susan 100 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 5: Lee has been around for a while, and I must 101 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 5: say I don't really know what she does stand for. 102 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 5: Whereas Angus Taylor, I could name a few things. I mean, 103 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 5: he didn't run a great campaign. Yes, look, I think 104 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 5: I think Susan's a bit of a weather vein in 105 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 5: terms of, you know, whatever's to work politically. 106 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 2: At the moment. 107 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 5: And yes, you're right that report, you know, the so 108 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 5: called gender gape, So the gender pay gap completely vanishes 109 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 5: statistically once you measure everything properly. 110 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, that was what was troubling about that, and it 111 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 3: was only last year. 112 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 2: Now. 113 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 3: We spoke to Senator Matt Canavan on Outsiders yesterday and 114 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 3: he talked about the tyranny of group think. 115 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 2: It's what we saw. 116 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 3: At the last election, arguably, but where it was very 117 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 3: difficult to ascertain what the difference between the two parties was. 118 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 3: But we keep hearing these calls for unity, unity, disunity 119 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 3: is death. You've argued, perhaps the obsession with unity can 120 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 3: be counterproductive. 121 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, look, it certainly is. I mean, as I said earlier, 122 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 5: I don't think they really need unity at the moment. 123 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 5: They need to work out what they stand for, and 124 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,679 Speaker 5: not just what they stand for, but also to see, 125 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 5: you know who on the backbench might even make a 126 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 5: better leader than the two that we've already mentioned. There 127 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 5: could be some talented people there, and if there's unity, 128 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 5: they won't be able to speak out. They'll just have 129 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 5: to do whatever the leader does. But we have an 130 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 5: obsession with unity I think in the political system, I mean, 131 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 5: the parties are actually can be a problem. I mean, 132 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 5: factionalism is not a great thing. I mean, if you 133 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 5: go back to George Washington or to Tokeville, you know 134 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 5: they argued against parties because they're extremely confrontational and combative 135 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 5: and they often don't work in the interest of the country, 136 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 5: but they work in the interests of themselves and so 137 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 5: sometimes I think it'd be better to have a Parliament 138 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 5: of one hundred and fifty independents and not have parties, 139 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 5: so they'd be actual debate in the Parliament rather the 140 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 5: debate's already being sort of. 141 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 3: Well, we were supposed to have the upper house, the Senate, 142 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 3: be the states and have instead of having party allegiances, 143 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 3: allegiancens to each individual state, but of course that hasn't happened. 144 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 2: It's just gone down party line. 145 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 3: So that's where the unrepresentative swill line about the senator began. 146 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 2: And I think Paul Keating was spot on. 147 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 3: I mean, how can you have someone in Tasmania whose 148 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 3: Upper House vote is worth what twenty times of that 149 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 3: on someone in New South Wales. Now let's have a 150 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 3: look at this post election assessment from Federal Vice President 151 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 3: of the Liberal Party. If you own a Scott, this 152 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 3: might give some indication as to why the party has 153 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 3: completely lots its direction under the current leadership, why they 154 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 3: ran such a woeful labor lighte campaign. 155 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 2: She's rejected comments made by. 156 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 3: Former Liberal Prime Minister Tony Abbott and former Nationals Deputy 157 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 3: Prime Minister John Anderson who said that not all cultures 158 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 3: are created equal. I would have thought that was a 159 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 3: fairly self evident statement, but she said there is good 160 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 3: and bad in all cultures. It's ignorant to dismiss cultures 161 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 3: or to rank cultures. 162 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 2: It should be an aspiration for all. 163 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 3: People to do better, to do better, to strive to 164 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 3: be better, and to celebrate diversity and uniqueness. Are God, 165 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 3: where's my bucket? 166 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 2: Adam? The Liberal Party lost. 167 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 3: In a landslide listening to that sort of advice, and 168 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 3: it looks like those smaller voices are being emboldened as 169 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 3: opposed to being ashamed of their contribution to that loss. 170 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 5: Well, certainly, the empirical record is very clear some cultures 171 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 5: are superior to others. Western culture, with you know, small 172 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 5: government and individual rights, has produced extraordinary economic growth over 173 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 5: the century. So there's really no doubt about that. So 174 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 5: I disagree with her there. I think our culture is 175 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 5: much better, just inherently. But look, you know where she 176 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 5: might have a point is if you want to win 177 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 5: elections in a country where thirty one percent of people 178 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 5: have born overseas, and that would include many Muslims, many 179 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 5: Chinese people, you know, maybe trumpeting how great your own 180 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 5: culture is is not so helpful. 181 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: Sometimes I don't think. 182 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 3: It was trumpeting, And I would argue, if you've moved 183 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 3: to Australia, particularly from a Muslim majority country, then there's 184 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 3: a reason why you've moved here, and perhaps if those 185 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 3: cultures were giving you precisely what you needed, whether it's 186 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 3: in lifestyle or opportunity or freedom, then perhaps you would 187 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 3: have stayed. 188 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 5: Look a very good you work, very good point. That's 189 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 5: a very good point. I just think that if a 190 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 5: liberal party ever wants to win, you know, in ten 191 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 5: twenty years those southwestern seats in Sydney, ever. 192 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 3: Why can't they win by appealing to the fact that 193 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 3: these people are one socially conservative when the labor has 194 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 3: veered to the far left on those cultural issues and 195 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 3: the Liberals are too terrified to debate them on it. 196 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 3: And also, these people are, often particularly new migrants of 197 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 3: this country, are hugely aspirational. They come here seeking a 198 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 3: better future for their children. They want to work, they 199 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 3: want to build wealth, they want to be independent, they 200 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 3: don't want to be reliant on welfare. And that's again 201 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 3: something else you can appeal to. But this election, we 202 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 3: had the Liberal Party, opposing tax cuts personal income tax cuts. 203 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 5: It's pretty I mean, it was a very center left campaign. 204 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 5: I would say all this stuff about it was too 205 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 5: trump is I mean, the point to a single policy 206 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 5: that shows that it was very center left. So if 207 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 5: there's a problem, then it's that, not not that it 208 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 5: was too rightly. 209 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 3: But the post mortem analysis from all the usual hacks 210 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 3: is that they need to veer further left. 211 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 2: Every time they veer. 212 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 3: Left, they lose and lose badly. We've seen it with 213 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 3: previous campaigns, and we've seen it in Victoria, wa elsewhere, 214 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 3: and the learnings from it seemed to be completely missing. 215 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 3: Now let's talk about Goldstein, your seat and mine. The 216 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 3: former til MP there, Zoey Daniel. She prematurely declared victory. 217 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 3: Remember that that was kind of hilarious. Look at her 218 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 3: celebrating it. 219 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:58,199 Speaker 2: Was great, yay. Well, she seems in denial over the loss. 220 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 3: Adam tim Wilson has declared victory. 221 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,719 Speaker 2: Everyone accepts that the media is reported on it. 222 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 3: But Zoe Daniel, in her latest post on X has 223 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 3: again refused to admit defeat, stating that there are still 224 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 3: up to ten thousand votes to count, and she also 225 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 3: said the AEC has not yet declared the seat, calling 226 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 3: on her supporters to respect the process and voters until. 227 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 2: A definitive position is clear. 228 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 3: I didn't see her respecting the process when she was 229 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 3: dancing around celebrating the Massif someone in her in a 230 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 3: circle needs to have a word with her, maybever embarrassing. 231 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 3: Maybe you, being a neighbor, I could just wreak across 232 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 3: and go, Zoey, let's have a word. 233 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 5: She must be pretty shattered. But look, she's going to 234 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 5: lose a big salary soon. I'm not sure actually when 235 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 5: the official date that it gets cut off. Maybe it's 236 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 5: when it's declared, I don't know. 237 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 8: But look, she'll be okay. 238 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 5: She's going to get a job in the SOUL or 239 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 5: the wind power industry, is the head of comms, or 240 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 5: back at the ABBC sorry, or maybe even back at 241 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 5: the ABC. So I think she'll be fine financially, but 242 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 5: she's probably personally a bit shattered and embarrassed. 243 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 3: That was It was now to an outrageous proposal by 244 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 3: the Productivity Commission, the ironically named Productivity Commission. They're talking 245 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 3: about imposing a road congestion tax on those visiting Melbourne CBD. 246 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 9: By the twenty fifties, more than nine million people will 247 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 9: call Melbourne home. 248 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 8: Where As more and more people are trying to come 249 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 8: into our cities, the challenges our roads get super busy. 250 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 9: The Productivity Commission putting forward a proposal to bring in 251 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 9: a congestion levy, a charge for motorists to try to 252 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 9: limit the number of cars and trucks and encourage people 253 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 9: to walk or ride instead. 254 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 5: New York has just introduced such charge. What we've seen 255 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 5: is that travel times have fallen on all the routes 256 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 5: that are going into the city. 257 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 2: Adam. 258 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 3: The fact that this mob called themselves the Productivity Commission 259 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 3: is absurd, as is the notion that this tax is 260 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 3: working a treat in New York. Yeah, of course it's 261 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 3: reducing traffic because poor people, ordinary working people can't afford 262 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 3: to drive into the city anymore. So if you want 263 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 3: to exclude poor people from the CBD from driving into 264 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 3: the CBD, then go right ahead. 265 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 5: Coletely agree with those arguments. 266 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 2: It's very regressive. 267 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 5: And also they're getting ahead of themselves. The traffic in Melbourne, 268 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 5: it's bad, but it's not like Manhattan, I mean, so 269 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 5: they just want to introduce a tax clearly they just 270 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 5: like it. 271 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 2: They're just anti car. Their anti car. 272 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 3: They want to see bike lanes which nobody is using. 273 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 3: They want to see more public transfer. You know what, 274 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 3: you can't take home six bags of shopping on your bike, 275 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 3: particularly if you live in Narry Warren. 276 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 5: But the head of the Productify, the head of the PC, 277 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 5: the Productivity Commission, she was a big champion of Lockdown's actually, 278 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 5: of course, so I'm not surprised that she also supports 279 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 5: this sort of tax. I mean, we need less tax 280 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 5: in this country, not more. I mean, if they want 281 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 5: to boost productivity, why are they talking about stamp duties 282 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 5: in Victoria. 283 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I just bought a place. 284 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 5: Have to pay fifty grand just for someone to go 285 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 5: that's it. 286 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 2: That's it. 287 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 8: I mean, that's a. 288 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 3: Shoe, and that prevents you from easily selling that property 289 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 3: and buying something else. 290 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 2: Because you'll have to pay it each and every time. 291 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 5: A massive problem. 292 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 2: But just silence for the productivity, the productivity. 293 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 3: We need to have some truth in what people call 294 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 3: themselves and their bodies, and calling the Productivity Commission that 295 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 3: name is an insult to productivity and to the English language. 296 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 2: Adam Crichton, thank you so much for your time. Thanks 297 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 2: joining me. 298 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 3: Now is a steem geologist and author professor in primer 299 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 3: in Let's start with the ABC. Former ABC board member 300 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 3: Joe Gersh has called on the taxpayer funder broadcaster to 301 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 3: conduct a comprehensive review of its election coverage. Here is 302 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 3: that the ABC will become a mouthpiece of government under 303 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 3: Labour's supermajority, become I think we got there some time ago. 304 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 2: Twenty eight thousand of those home Remarchael. 305 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 10: What would your mother say hearing you interrupt her? 306 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 2: Just I've been interrupted the entire time. Just please, it's okay. 307 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 2: I'm unflappable, Sarah. 308 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 10: I'm going to ask you one more time, and everyone 309 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 10: is listening to me. Ask this question, how many social 310 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 10: and affordable houses will you build? 311 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 2: Well, we will fund social and for right. 312 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 8: That's it. 313 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 2: You're not getting an answer, You'll get an answer out 314 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 2: of me. And who can forget this on election night? 315 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 10: Let's just talk about this sensibly. Just into We saw 316 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 10: you wearing a make Australia a Great Again hat at 317 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 10: a time when Donald Trump poison to the world. We 318 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 10: saw you give a speech in which you used a 319 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 10: Donald Trump value statement to make Australia, Great together. 320 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 2: Ian. 321 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 3: When the ABC is critical of a labor government, it's 322 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 3: always from the left, never from the right, never from 323 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 3: the conservative point of view. And I would argue their 324 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 3: conduct during the Voice referendum. Their coverage of that issue 325 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 3: was far more reprehensible than what we saw during the 326 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 3: election campaign. It was so relentlessly pro Voice and often 327 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 3: hysterically so. 328 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 2: It was pro Yes in just about every bit of coverage. 329 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 8: Well, that interview was vulgar, it was partisan, and the 330 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 8: ABC has been like that for a long while and 331 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 8: the last time I appeared on the ABC it was 332 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 8: an ambush. Of course, that is their standard tactic. Now. 333 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 8: When Sarah talks about what would your mother think about this? 334 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 8: I look at her and think, well, only a mother 335 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 8: could love that. You can't behave like that on taxpayer 336 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 8: funded television. That is just not the way you behave. 337 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 8: And I think to set behavioral standards like that shows 338 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 8: you that the ABC has got right to the bottom. 339 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 2: It has. 340 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 3: But even if they do agree to this comprehensive review, 341 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 3: we know who's going to be doing the review, and 342 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 3: we know what the recommendations are going to be. 343 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 2: The entire exercise will be pointless because that will. 344 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 3: Come up with no bias, no learnings, and just more 345 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 3: of the same. 346 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 8: Well, I can suggest some wonderful names for the review. 347 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 8: Some of the people that are on this network, like 348 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 8: Krager for exactly, plast think he would do quite a 349 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 8: good thing. 350 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,360 Speaker 2: He would love that role. He would do it for free. 351 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 2: He would do it for free. 352 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 8: Hard Graves would be another way. So there are some 353 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 8: people around who would take a very different view to 354 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 8: the soft glove approach that a review would be. In 355 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 8: the trick with the review, it's to appoint the people 356 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 8: to do the review. You've got to drive that. Once 357 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 8: you've appointed the right people, you know the way it's 358 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 8: going to go. And that's the way the ABC review 359 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 8: is going to be. And I was once a listener 360 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 8: to the ABC, especially ABC FM Classic. 361 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: And it's just terrible. 362 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 2: They pretle on piece of music. 363 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 8: It wasn't it wasn't. So I think we've got to 364 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 8: scrap the ABC except for ABC Regional Radio and put 365 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 8: it out the subscription like Sky. 366 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 3: Well, that's never going to happen. And the conservative so 367 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 3: called Conservative Coalition governments who had plenty of opportunity to 368 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 3: reign in the ABC to fund aspects of it to 369 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,360 Speaker 3: hold them account and will refuse to do so. And 370 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 3: it would be I think her foolish to expect the 371 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 3: Labor Party to be doing anything. 372 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 8: WNG really what you say, and that's what's happened. 373 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 3: Now, let's talk about these shock revelations about the Antarctic 374 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 3: ice shelf. A study published in Science China Earth Sciences 375 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 3: has found that between twenty twenty one and twenty twenty three, 376 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 3: the Antarctic ice sheet, far from disappearing, has been experiencing 377 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 3: record growth almost one hundred and eight gigatons or one 378 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 3: hundred and eight billion metric tons of ice per year. 379 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 2: How do we explain this? 380 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 3: Because I thought these this was going to be the 381 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 3: end of the world, these rising sea levels and everyone 382 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 3: was going to drown, and now we've. 383 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 8: Got record gross Well, we have cycles, and these cycles 384 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 8: are where the ice sheds grow the ice sheets contract. 385 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 8: Now in the Antarctica, you've got another parameter which journalists 386 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 8: never meant. They never chase it up in questions, they 387 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 8: never put it down in any articles about Antarctica, and 388 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 8: that is there are one hundred and fifty geothermal centers 389 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 8: and volcano underneath the ice sheet and if you're going 390 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 8: to heat the ice from below, what's it going to do? 391 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 8: It will melt a very slight temperature raised from the 392 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 8: top of the ice sheet. If you raise the temperature 393 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 8: from minus twenty to minus eighteen, the ice won't melt. 394 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 8: But if underneath the temperature seven to fifty degrees celsius, 395 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 8: it will melt. 396 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 2: So when you. 397 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 8: Ignore the volcanic factor, then you end up shock, horror, surprise. 398 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 8: We have psychical climates on planet Earth. We've known that 399 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 8: for over one hundred years, and nothing should shock you 400 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 8: if you're aware of the literature. 401 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 3: Oh well, well, you're speaking there like some sort of 402 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 3: a geologist, some sort of leading john. 403 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,199 Speaker 8: What would climate? We've only been studying it for two 404 00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 8: hundred years and looking at four and a half billion 405 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 8: years of what would What would. 406 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 2: You know, Professor the implymer?

Even Old Joe, in his feeble 509 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 3: mental state, doesn't really believe that, though he did try 510 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,120 Speaker 3: to blame his failings on the border on Donald Trump. 511 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 2: Listen to this lunacy you got on. 512 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 4: The telephone, any call. Republicans do not support it. It's legal, 513 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 4: it'll work, it'll make Biden look good. Don't do it. 514 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 4: They backed off, They backed off. 515 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 2: Impeached for something like that, Well, impeached. 516 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 3: That's a new and imaginative reason to impeach Trump for 517 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 3: things Biden failed to do. As Donald Trump showed, you 518 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 3: didn't need the flawed border bill to fix the border. 519 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 3: You just needed a president knew what he was doing. 520 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 3: Unlike this, dude, Listen to this incomprehensible gibberish. 521 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 4: All the projects, the projects, the benefits. How do you 522 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 4: lead the world having best instruction? How do you leave 523 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 4: the world without him the best health carerent role? How 524 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 4: do you lead the world without having the best education? 525 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 2: So, how do you lead the world and do not 526 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 2: have that done. What do you say to that? 527 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 3: Joining me now is Newsweek's senior editor at Large and 528 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 3: Article three Projects Senior Council Josh Hammer. 529 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 2: Josh, if the goal of that exercise was. 530 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 3: To convince the American people that Joe Biden was and 531 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 3: is cognitively sound, well it was a massive failure. 532 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 7: Yeah, reader, at what point do we just start, you know, 533 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 7: charging doctor Jill Biden, so called doctor job Biden. I mean, 534 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 7: at what point does she just start getting charged with 535 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 7: with elder ab so? I mean, that is clearly what 536 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 7: is going on here. I mean I look at clips 537 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 7: like this and I genuinely ask, and actually my wife 538 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 7: and I were talking about this, like, actually, like what 539 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 7: are they trying to do? I genuinely do not know 540 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 7: what they're trying to do. Now, there are a lot 541 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 7: of rumors floating around here. It's not entirely clear which 542 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 7: rumors are true which are not true. Apparently the Biden 543 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 7: family is actually hurting financially, and I have a guess 544 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 7: as to why. It's because the big guy is not 545 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 7: in power anymore and Hunter Biden is not able to 546 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 7: basically use that Frank Flynn to bring money into the 547 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 7: Coffers of the Biden crime Family bank accounts, Right, So 548 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,199 Speaker 7: there are all sorts of rumors that Biden is going 549 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 7: to try and take a massive book contract nout, that 550 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 7: he's going to write a single page of this book 551 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 7: because he's looking for ways to make money. So I 552 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 7: maybe maybe that's what's going on here. Honestly, I think 553 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 7: that's probably going on here. Rita is actually even sadder 554 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 7: than that. I think we're looking at as a man 555 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 7: who has been in the public sphere here in the 556 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 7: United States for more than half a century. Joe Biden 557 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 7: first became a US cenator from Delaware in the early 558 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 7: nineteen seventies. He simply does not know anything else other 559 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 7: than going out before cameras, other than trying to be 560 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 7: a public figure. The problem is that he's literally just 561 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 7: not capable of doing it mentally, intellectually, physically. 562 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: At this point there. 563 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 7: And it's really, really, really profoundly sad. But I guess 564 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 7: if you're Biden and you're trying to get a book 565 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 7: contract and you're willing to basically embarrass yourself before Global 566 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 7: TV lines to get a few more dollars into the 567 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 7: Biden crime family coffers, I guess they're. 568 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 3: Looking at this and thinking, well, we managed to fool 569 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 3: the world for four years whilst he was the most 570 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 3: powerful man in the world. We had the bulk of 571 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 3: the media in on this ruse that he was in charge. 572 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 3: He was cognitively sound, he was up to the job. 573 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 3: And I think with these books coming out now about 574 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 3: his time in office, and some of those books being 575 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 3: penned by leftist authors, he's trying to counter that, but 576 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,479 Speaker 3: it's not working. Every time he's in front of the camera, 577 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 3: you are reminded of why he should have never been 578 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 3: in that role. Now, let's talk about US President Donald 579 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 3: Trump announcing on the way he can that India and 580 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,719 Speaker 3: Pakistan have agreed to a ceasefire. He wrote, after a 581 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 3: long night of talks mediated by United States, please to 582 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 3: announce that Indian and Pakistan have agreed. 583 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 2: To a full and immediate cease fire. 584 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 3: Congratulations to both countries on using common sense and great intelligence. 585 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 2: Thank you for your attention to this matter. Now, how 586 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 2: tenuous is this piece? This ceasefire? Josh? 587 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 3: And what can you tell me about President Trump's offer 588 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 3: to work with these nuclear armed nations to come up 589 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 3: with a solution over Kashmir? 590 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 7: Well, this is an extraordinarily complicated and extraordinarily emotionally religiously 591 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 7: fraught conflict bearer in the Cashi or Pakistan. India have 592 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 7: been at lagger heads Rita, as you know, for longer 593 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 7: than half a century. It has been a very, very, 594 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 7: very long time. And both these countries our nuclear powers. 595 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 7: Anytime you have two nuclear powers that are directly firing 596 00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 7: each other and not necessarily firing via proxy, as Russia 597 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 7: and the United States have been doing Ukraine for the 598 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 7: past three years, but literally just directly, no proxy, just unfettered, 599 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 7: but you know, shots fired across the border that has 600 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 7: potential to be absolute disastrous. So if there is an 601 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 7: actual ceasefire and it's it's a very fluid connect situation. 602 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 7: With the last I checked, it looks like things were 603 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 7: a lot calmer than they were at least earlier in 604 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 7: this past week, then that is news to be celebrated 605 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 7: all throughout the world. I think that America, fundamentally, and 606 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 7: Donald Trump is the right person to do this, has 607 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 7: to reassess its relationship with these two particular countries. So 608 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 7: back during the Cold War, India was part of the 609 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 7: broader Soviet sphere of influence there, they were cozy with 610 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 7: communists China, with a part tiight South Africa, and so 611 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 7: war there. So the United States made a decision to 612 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 7: ally with India's rival Pakistan. That decision might have been 613 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 7: correct at the time, it has not been particularly sound, 614 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 7: shall we say, in retrospects. Let's not forget that Osama 615 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 7: bin Laden was actually found in Pakistan. Pakistan is increasingly 616 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 7: a radical Islamist nation in there. America's ally in this 617 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 7: conflict is no longer Pakistan. It really actually is India. 618 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 7: America and the Western general, Australia, western style countries really 619 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 7: ought to stand shoulder to shoulder with India. 620 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: What my money's worked this conflict there. 621 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 7: I think that Donald Trump's the right guy to make 622 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 7: inroads there with Moody and the leadership in New Delhi, 623 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 7: and I look for those inroads to hopefully continue. 624 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 3: Donald Trump has announced that an American Israeli hostage held 625 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 3: by HAMA since October seven, twenty twenty three, is coming home. 626 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 3: Trump wrote, I'm happy to announce that Eden Alexander, an 627 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 3: American citizen who has been held hostage since October twenty 628 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 3: twenty three, is coming. 629 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 2: Home to his family. 630 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 3: I'm grateful to all those involved in making this monumental 631 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 3: news happened. This was a step taken in good faith 632 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 3: towards the United States and the efforts of the mediators 633 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 3: Katar in Egypt to put an end to this very 634 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 3: brutal war and return all living hostages and remains to 635 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 3: their loved ones. 636 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 2: Josh. This development comes out as. 637 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 3: Reports of a growing rift between Donald Trump and Benjamin 638 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 3: Netting Yahoo emerge. What can you tell me about what 639 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 3: this means for the war between Hamas and Israel? Is 640 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 3: there a truth that there is a rift between these 641 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 3: two leaders. 642 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 7: So there's an enormous amount of rumors, and it is 643 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 7: very very difficult to know what exactly is certain and 644 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 7: what is not certain. Now, apparently the asking price that 645 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 7: Hamas essentially again this is just a rumor, This is 646 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 7: not verified, but allegedly the asking price that Hamas asked 647 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 7: President Trump and Or to free the last American hostage 648 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 7: there was to put pressure on Netta Yahu to establish 649 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 7: a definitive time frame to wind down the military operations 650 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 7: in Gaza. 651 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: The obvious problem is that Prime. 652 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 7: Mister Naton Yahu and the Israelities are not ready to put 653 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 7: a definitive time frame on the operations in Gaza because 654 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 7: Hamas is not close to being eradicated yet. Now they 655 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 7: are deeply, deeply hurting compared to where they were on 656 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 7: October sixth, twenty twenty three. That should not be surprised 657 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 7: to anyone there. But yes, I think it's fair to 658 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:08,240 Speaker 7: say that they're likely are increasingly signs of a rift. 659 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,760 Speaker 7: Maybe there is not a rift at this exact moment, 660 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 7: but there are a lot of ten situations. The latest 661 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,240 Speaker 7: rumors over the past twenty four to thirty six hours 662 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 7: are that Qatar, of all countries, might be gifting a 663 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 7: Boeing seven forty seven to be an Air Force one 664 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,440 Speaker 7: backup plane or something along those lines. They're Qatar, shall 665 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 7: we say, is a problematic country. They are somewhat infamous 666 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 7: when it comes to double speak. They like to play 667 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,839 Speaker 7: the nice role of mediator when it comes to these negotiations, 668 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,360 Speaker 7: but they also are major funders of Hamas and the 669 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,719 Speaker 7: Muslim brotherhood there. The Trump Organization recently into big deal 670 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 7: to develop a new golf course there in Doha, so 671 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 7: it's a little difficult to know exactly what is going 672 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 7: on here. At the end of the day, though, the 673 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,839 Speaker 7: American people and especially MAGA voters. Republicans really do stand 674 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 7: overwhelmingly with Primauisternenti Yahu in Israel. So if for no 675 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 7: other reason than that reason, Rita, I expect that US 676 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 7: Isra relations will continue to be quite close. 677 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 3: Now, a lot has happened in the recent days, is Josh. 678 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 3: We've got a lot to cover, including the US striking 679 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 3: a trade deal with the UK. This was pretty big news, 680 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 3: but it was a long before the usual suspects in 681 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 3: the media were out to downplay the significance of the deal. 682 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 3: Let's have a listen to MSNBC. 683 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,319 Speaker 12: This is relatively low hanging fruit. If you can't get 684 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 12: a trade deal with the longest standing and loyalist United 685 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 12: States ally anywhere in the world over generations, you're going 686 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 12: to be in trouble when you're dealing with some of 687 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 12: the more obstruperous countries around the world, the ones that 688 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,240 Speaker 12: are more willing to resist your entreaties. 689 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 3: Josh, if it's so easy, then why didn't previous administrations 690 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 3: do it? 691 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 2: Why didn't Joe Biden do it? 692 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 3: Why did the Obama administration do it? What can you 693 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 3: tell me about this deal? 694 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,400 Speaker 7: Okay, so this deal I believe really should shatter a 695 00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,759 Speaker 7: lot of illusions as to a President Trump, MAGA more 696 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 7: generally believe about trade and what they do not believe 697 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 7: about trade. I think a lot of people look at 698 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,879 Speaker 7: President Trump, they look at him as the so called 699 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 7: tariff guy, and they say, this guy doesn't believe in trade. 700 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:10,240 Speaker 1: He doesn't want to trade with anyone. 701 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 7: He wants every single product, every good, every leg of 702 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 7: every supply chain to be made here in the United States. 703 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: It's not true. 704 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 7: What nationalists, realists, what MAGA believes is to oppose these 705 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:27,880 Speaker 7: multilateral trade boondoggles, these World Trade Organizations style trade deals 706 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 7: that loop in twenty thirty countries there and you essentially 707 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 7: at some point lose control over the granular details as 708 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 7: to what is being traded there. 709 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:36,840 Speaker 1: What MAGNA supports are. 710 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 7: Prudential, specific, granular bilateral trade deals. Country A and Country 711 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,879 Speaker 7: B agreed to lower trade barriers in exchange for blah 712 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 7: blah blah blah blah. That's the sort of thing that 713 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 7: the US and the UK worked out. So the fact 714 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 7: that this happened and happened fairly quickly, actually barely over 715 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 7: a month after so called Liberation Day at the Rosegarn 716 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 7: the White House there, that actually ought to be an 717 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 7: incredibly auspicious and positive sign when it comes to other 718 00:36:58,520 --> 00:36:59,160 Speaker 7: countries that. 719 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 1: Are looking to negotiate. 720 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,880 Speaker 7: Though, by the way, you know, in response to that 721 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 7: clip that we just heard from from that you know, 722 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,239 Speaker 7: you know, rather upset leftist shall we say there, I 723 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 7: would like to just say one thing. You know, the 724 00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 7: UK and the US do have a special relationship, but 725 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,319 Speaker 7: the US also got it it's independence from the UK 726 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,400 Speaker 7: over two hundred years ago. And in fact, if you 727 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 7: go back and look at the American founding, Alexander Hamilton 728 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 7: published his report on Manufacturer and he presented it to 729 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,759 Speaker 7: Congress as the nation's first Treasury Secretary in seventeen ninety one, 730 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,719 Speaker 7: specifically making the argument that the United States had to 731 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 7: be trade independent of Britain because otherwise it would not 732 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,240 Speaker 7: be successful nations. So it's actually a very long history 733 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 7: of America trying to get independent from Britain. There, So 734 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,399 Speaker 7: actually it's probably a bit of a bigger deal from 735 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,279 Speaker 7: a kind of a longer form historical view than this 736 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 7: kind of you know, hurt left wing commentator would care 737 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:48,800 Speaker 7: to point out. 738 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 3: Shall we say, And I'm would say there's plenty of 739 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 3: other countries, including my own Australia, that would think we 740 00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:01,799 Speaker 3: are as bigger allies and to the US as the 741 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,720 Speaker 3: UK is. So for the UK to get this still first, 742 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 3: I think we'll be wanting to be next in line 743 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 3: to strike a deal. Are there other deals that are imminent? 744 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,280 Speaker 3: Are you hearing other countries are close to an agreement? 745 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 7: Well, Scott be send the tradery secretary. I mean, he 746 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 7: was in Switzerland this past weekend, so you know, he 747 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 7: was meeting with the Chinese. Chinese counterparts in Switzerland there. Look, 748 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 7: I mean Donald Trump put on social media, on truth 749 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,200 Speaker 7: social the White House actually put out a formal official 750 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 7: statement saying that a trade deal had been reached with China. Now, 751 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 7: there's not a whole lot in the way of details there, 752 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 7: but presumably there's something because I mean this came out 753 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,839 Speaker 7: not necessarily just from social media, but the White House 754 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,279 Speaker 7: literally put it on white House dot gov from their 755 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,000 Speaker 7: verified social media accounts there. 756 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:46,719 Speaker 1: So hopefully we learn more. 757 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 7: I mean, that's that's probably gonna happen in real time 758 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,359 Speaker 7: here in the next twenty four or forty eight hours 759 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,759 Speaker 7: or so. But it looks like US China could have 760 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,919 Speaker 7: an off ramp to this trade war sooner rather than later, 761 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 7: which is probably a good thing for consumers. As long 762 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,880 Speaker 7: as Donald Trump and MAGA and America get concessions out 763 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:03,560 Speaker 7: of it. As long as there's something to actually point 764 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,840 Speaker 7: to and say this is actually a win, then I 765 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:07,400 Speaker 7: will be optimistic for it. 766 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,360 Speaker 1: But again, the devil will be in the details in 767 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 1: that one. 768 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:16,919 Speaker 3: Now we're seeing more leftist officials being arrested. Funnily enough, 769 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,799 Speaker 3: when you break the law, you'll end up in handcuffs. 770 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 3: Here is Newark Mayor raz Baraka, who was arrested at 771 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:30,279 Speaker 3: an ICE facility. That's the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement 772 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 3: detention facility that opened last week. Josh, the mayor, claims 773 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,959 Speaker 3: he did nothing wrong and he's vowing to shut down 774 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:51,440 Speaker 3: the ICE facility there. 775 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 7: You know, reader, if I didn't know any better, if 776 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 7: I saw this clip in a vacuum of a government 777 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 7: official storming, aren't storming a federal immigration facility there with 778 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 7: anarcic intention, with the intention of undermining and subverting and 779 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 7: dare I say, seeking to on a smaller scale, potentially 780 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,399 Speaker 7: overthrow one facet of the federal government. You know, if 781 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,919 Speaker 7: I were being a little bit more, you know, shall 782 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 7: we say a little a little more diabolical. I might 783 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,279 Speaker 7: say this is that this looks a heck of a 784 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 7: lot like an insurrection, because that's basically what it is. 785 00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,719 Speaker 7: I mean, this is essentially a blue state mini insurrection there. 786 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,920 Speaker 7: And I mean, you know who the hecker of the Democrats, 787 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 7: who the hecker of the left this year? You know, 788 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 7: to say that Donald Trump and the whole January sixth 789 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 7: and know this was kind of a republic threatening insurrection. 790 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 7: I mean, what, just what incredible hypocrisy. But the worst 791 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,279 Speaker 7: part about it to me is that this says so 792 00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:49,160 Speaker 7: much about the actual state of the politics of the 793 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 7: Democratic Party, meaning what plays politically well for them? What 794 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 7: is politically for the fact that the mayor of Newark 795 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 7: saw fit to do this there, this means that he 796 00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 7: thinks this is politically beneficial because that guy wants to 797 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,960 Speaker 7: run for governor Jersey. He used this as a stepping 798 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 7: stone for a state ride run. What does it say 799 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,719 Speaker 7: that a stunt like this, an insurrectionist stunt seeking to 800 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,959 Speaker 7: get arrested, a photo op and handcuffs that apparently makes 801 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,319 Speaker 7: you a star in today's Democratic Party? What does that 802 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,719 Speaker 7: say about that party? Obviously nothing particularly good. 803 00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:18,279 Speaker 1: That's for sure. 804 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,400 Speaker 3: I could not believe the antics afterwards, Josh, because he 805 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:28,360 Speaker 3: was on every network playing the victim, pretending like this 806 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 3: was political persecution. As you said, he invaded that facility, 807 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,560 Speaker 3: refused to leave. He was given plenty of choices and 808 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:41,360 Speaker 3: plenty of chances to actually get out of there without 809 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,799 Speaker 3: being arrested, and he refused. I mean, what, really, what 810 00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,960 Speaker 3: other choice did authorities have in those circumstances. 811 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,280 Speaker 1: They had none. I mean, this guy wanted to be arrested. 812 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,799 Speaker 7: He literally had every intention of going there and being 813 00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,120 Speaker 7: arrested for the cameras because he knew that he would 814 00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,759 Speaker 7: get off their two tier assistant adjustice. Again, it's newer 815 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 7: New Jersey. It's a very blue jurisdiction there, Democrat governor 816 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:07,440 Speaker 7: and on and on there. But again, he wanted this showdown. 817 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,240 Speaker 7: He literally wanted this because he thought that would play 818 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,239 Speaker 7: well for state wide voters. By the way, New Jersey 819 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,640 Speaker 7: is actually a politically interesting state. New Jersey's actually not 820 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:16,520 Speaker 7: quite as blue as people think it is. In fact, 821 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,319 Speaker 7: if you look at the twenty twenty four election, Donald 822 00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 7: Trump versus Kamala Harris, Kamala Harris wins that state. I 823 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,640 Speaker 7: forgot the exact margin, but it's roughly five points five 824 00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:27,799 Speaker 7: five and a half points, which actually is really not 825 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,320 Speaker 7: a particularly wide margin at all, And in fact, Republicans 826 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,480 Speaker 7: have actually been making inroads in the New Jersey state 827 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 7: legislature as some of these suburbs and ex serbs of Philadelphia, 828 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,279 Speaker 7: New York City trend a little bit rhtter in a 829 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,360 Speaker 7: more maga direction. There, there's a lot of people speculating 830 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,600 Speaker 7: that New Jersey could actually be in play at a 831 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 7: presidential level in twenty eight or twenty thirty two at 832 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,759 Speaker 7: the latest.

There's been a lot of 875 00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:22,320 Speaker 3: conjecture about Meghan Markle's podcast appearance with her good friend. 876 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,800 Speaker 2: Particularly about this point of. 877 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:30,520 Speaker 3: The interview where she appeared to be wiping away nonexistent tears. 878 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:31,480 Speaker 2: Have a look. 879 00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:45,680 Speaker 3: Now, different commentators have zoomed in on her face and 880 00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,040 Speaker 3: they say they can detect no tears. 881 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:49,959 Speaker 2: So what was she wiping away? 882 00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:50,400 Speaker 8: In ZI? 883 00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,359 Speaker 11: This is so disappointing coming from Megan Michael, who has 884 00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:58,320 Speaker 11: gloated in past interviews that she just needs three seconds 885 00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:00,600 Speaker 11: to secrete a fake tears out. 886 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:01,480 Speaker 2: Of her left eye. 887 00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:05,240 Speaker 11: You'll notice her in Queen Elizabeth's funeral that there's only 888 00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:09,480 Speaker 11: any type of saltwater discharge exiting her left eyeball throughout 889 00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:13,160 Speaker 11: the entire event. She's just being lazy here. I think 890 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,760 Speaker 11: she probably doesn't want to ruin that electric spraytnd of hers. 891 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:22,520 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, apparently it was a makeup free appearance. But yeah, 892 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,880 Speaker 3: I think her acting skills may be slipping because I 893 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:27,160 Speaker 3: did not see a tear there. 894 00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:28,279 Speaker 2: Maybe if I. 895 00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:31,920 Speaker 3: Looked closer, one would appear, but I don't think so. 896 00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 3: Now the Sussexes have copped it from comedian Colin Just 897 00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:40,480 Speaker 3: on Saturday Night Live. He's showing that one of the 898 00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,680 Speaker 3: conditions of Trump's new trade deal with the UK is 899 00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:45,880 Speaker 3: that Harry and Meghan have to go back. 900 00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:47,360 Speaker 2: It's pretty cruel, Kinsey. 901 00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,080 Speaker 11: Look, there's no way President Trump would accept that deal. 902 00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:54,080 Speaker 11: He's called Megan Markle nasty and says he feels sorry 903 00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,160 Speaker 11: for Prince Harry because his wife is a lot to 904 00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:58,680 Speaker 11: deal with, you know. Trump says he hates the way 905 00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:00,880 Speaker 11: that Harry dealt with the Lake and judging by his 906 00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,359 Speaker 11: friendliness towards King Charles, he won't appreciate the way Harry 907 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,839 Speaker 11: continues to run his mouth against the monarchy today and 908 00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,839 Speaker 11: say what you want about the Trump dynasty, but they 909 00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,640 Speaker 11: are incredibly close and loyal to one another. 910 00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,400 Speaker 2: Now more troubles for Paul Megan. 911 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:22,160 Speaker 3: She has been threatened with a ten million dollar lawsuit 912 00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:27,320 Speaker 3: after a woman suffered catastrophic burns allegedly from the Duchess's 913 00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,000 Speaker 3: do it yourself bath salt recipe. 914 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,239 Speaker 2: This is a recipe. 915 00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:36,120 Speaker 3: That Kinsey featured on her Netflix's show What else can 916 00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:36,960 Speaker 3: you tell me about this? 917 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:37,640 Speaker 11: Well? 918 00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:38,279 Speaker 2: I could tell you. 919 00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,600 Speaker 11: I spoke to two attorneys about this. Both said this 920 00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:44,800 Speaker 11: potential lawsuit could no pun intended have legs. Attorney Christopher Melcher, 921 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:48,520 Speaker 11: who's ally based on Hollywood, here that Netflix could have 922 00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,360 Speaker 11: and probably should have, put a disclaimer on the screen 923 00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,279 Speaker 11: to save their own skin, saying, you know, consult a 924 00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:59,320 Speaker 11: doctor or seek medical advice if you're looking for something specific. 925 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,239 Speaker 11: Meghan foamd this is crazy, he said. She's willing to 926 00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:06,160 Speaker 11: resolve the matter without litigation if a financial settlement can 927 00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,280 Speaker 11: be reached. Feels like a little bit of a shakedown, 928 00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:10,920 Speaker 11: but if her demands are not met, she intends to 929 00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:14,120 Speaker 11: launch a lawsuit seeking settlement damages of a minimum of 930 00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:17,640 Speaker 11: seventy five thousand dollars to cover medical expenses. 931 00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:21,960 Speaker 3: Ah, this is going to be fascinating because if there 932 00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,080 Speaker 3: is some sort of a settlement, I expect to see 933 00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,200 Speaker 3: a lot of other people coming forward with their own stories. 934 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,600 Speaker 3: You don't want to incentivize that kind of behavior if 935 00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:35,240 Speaker 3: it's not genuine before you go, Kinsey acted. Tom Cruise 936 00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:39,200 Speaker 3: has shut down questions about Donald Trump's movie tariffs. At 937 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:42,480 Speaker 3: a recent press event in Soul for Mission Impossible, the 938 00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:46,560 Speaker 3: Final Reckoning, he told the Tends that he'd rather answer 939 00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:48,040 Speaker 3: questions about the movie. 940 00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,120 Speaker 11: This is why I think people like Tom Cruise, why 941 00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,680 Speaker 11: he has this longevity when it comes to his career, 942 00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:56,560 Speaker 11: because he's like, I'm not going to get political. I 943 00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:58,600 Speaker 11: want to focus on the facts. I'm here to promote 944 00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:02,040 Speaker 11: my movie. And I think that that's why his career 945 00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:03,120 Speaker 11: is as long as it is. 946 00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:08,680 Speaker 3: He's had plenty of bad press, Kinsey, particularly with his 947 00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:13,560 Speaker 3: personal life scientology, but he's still a box. 948 00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:14,879 Speaker 2: Office hit, and I think you're right. 949 00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:17,319 Speaker 3: Part of it is he does big films, but part 950 00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:20,960 Speaker 3: of it is he steers clear of politics. He lets 951 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:25,040 Speaker 3: other people worry about that so he doesn't alienate half 952 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:29,239 Speaker 3: the population with his political views, whatever they may be. 953 00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,560 Speaker 3: Kin Ziscofield, always a pleasure. Thanks for your time tonight, 954 00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:36,960 Speaker 3: and that's it from me. Up Next is Newsnight.
