1 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: On scorings Australia. 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 2: This is the Reader Panalty Show. 3 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,319 Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panehy Show. I'm 4 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 3: Cali Marcus filling in for RITA coming up tonight. Alban 5 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 3: EASi stood up by Trump at the G seven. 6 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 4: I'll bring you all the latest with my panel. 7 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 3: In a moment a university academic stood down after calling 8 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 3: for Zionists to be executed. New South Wales Liberal MP 9 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 3: Chris Rath joins me with the details and of course 10 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 3: left he's losing it, featuring this totally sane individual. 11 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 5: No, no, god boy good. 12 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,599 Speaker 3: But let's begin with Prime Minister Anthony Alberzi being blind 13 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 3: sided after US President Donald Trump decided to leave the 14 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 3: G seven early and before they'd had a chance to meet, 15 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 3: without any warning to Australia. It follows weeks of will 16 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 3: they won't they speculation about a first face to face 17 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 3: meeting between the pair, where the Orchist deal was due 18 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 3: to be the. 19 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 4: Main topic of discussion. 20 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 3: Now there are concerns over the future of the Defense 21 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 3: packed as the US conducts its review into the agreement, 22 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 3: led by prominent Orcers skeptic Trump's under Secretary of Defense 23 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 3: Policy Elbridge Colby, but there was a glimmer of hope 24 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 3: during Trump's joint appearance with the UK Prime Minister Keth Starmer, 25 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 3: where he indicated the deal would proceed. 26 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: Yep, we're proceeding with that. 27 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 4: It's a really important deal to both of this. 28 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 2: I think the person that was doing a review, we 29 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 2: did a review when we came into government, so that 30 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 2: makes good sense to me. But it's a really important 31 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 2: We're very long time partners and allies and friends, and 32 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 2: we've become friends in a short period of time. 33 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 3: Joining me now for the latest on this is the 34 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 3: Deputy executive director at the Institute of Public Affairs, Daniel 35 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,559 Speaker 3: Wild and News Corps senior Patrick Carline. 36 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 4: Thank you both of you. Now, Dan, it was. 37 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 3: A bit embarrassing, I think for Albanizi to be stood 38 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 3: up by Trump just minutes after he'd confirmed to media 39 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 3: that he'd secured a meeting, and reportedly with no prior 40 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 3: notice to Australian officials. 41 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. 42 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 6: I've got to say, Caroline that that's a clip you 43 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 6: displayed of Keir Starmer and Donald Trump didn't fill me 44 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 6: with a ton of confidence. They didn't seem all that 45 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 6: invested in ucast, but we'll see what happens there. 46 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 1: But look, I think you're right. The issue here is it. 47 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 6: Appears to be the case that Anthony Albanesi is not 48 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 6: really taken seriously on the international stage and is not 49 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 6: really respected, and that would be a concern for the 50 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 6: government here. There are some within labor who have a 51 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 6: relatively cavalier attitude towards the United States, and some of 52 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 6: whom are actively hostile towards the Trump administration. 53 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: And whether you like Trump or not is beside. 54 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 6: The point is obviously our most important ally and so 55 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 6: I think there's probably a sense from the United States 56 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 6: that perhaps the current government here in Australia is not 57 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 6: as committed and as serious as it should be about 58 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,679 Speaker 6: that defense relationship. 59 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: So I think that explains why Trump. 60 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 6: Has basically stood up Anthony Alberizi on this occasion. 61 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 3: Part Dan says he's not so confident judging by those 62 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 3: comments from the joint press conference, but Albanezy says that 63 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 3: he found those comments very positive. What do you think 64 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 3: do you think the Orcast deal is secure? 65 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 2: Look, it needs to be secure, Caroline, doesn't it. I mean, 66 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 2: this is such a fundamental part of our future in 67 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 2: terms of defending ourselves and in terms of our best 68 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 2: friend in America, as Dan says, America is our best friend, 69 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 2: Donald Trump, or otherwise we need America. And the fact 70 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 2: that this meeting hasn't taken place, I don't think you 71 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 2: can blame Elbow for that. It was beyond his control. 72 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 2: But we're sort of looking at or perhaps later in 73 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 2: the year before Elbow will actually catch up with Donald 74 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 2: Trump and have a chat. I mean, it does seem ridiculous. 75 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 2: It's given you've got Orcus on the table at the moment, 76 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 2: and it's under a review in the US, and you've 77 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 2: got tariffs. You've got these really nation changing sort of 78 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 2: issues at stake at the moment. That does need to 79 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 2: be a meeting. 80 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, Dan pat mentions tariffs. That was going to be 81 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 3: another big part of this conversation. That's face to face 82 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 3: conversation between the pair. What happens now with that? I 83 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 3: mean everyone's talking about UCUS, but what happens with tariffs. 84 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 6: Well, I think the thing with tariffs is, yeah, I mean, 85 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 6: we should have a talk with them and see if 86 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 6: we can have a different arrangement, but we should focus 87 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 6: on our own backyard first. I mean, the negative economic 88 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 6: implications of the policies that we are imposing upon ourselves 89 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 6: are far worse than anything the United States is doing. 90 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 6: I mean, always you have to do is look at 91 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 6: our energy policy and policies like net zero, which are 92 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 6: causing massive increases to energy prices and smashing our industrial sector, 93 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 6: or the regulation of red tape that's coming out of Camber. 94 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 1: And state government. 95 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 6: So I think you know this government has said it 96 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 6: wants to have a productivity agenda. Well, the first thing 97 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 6: you do is look at your own economic policy settings 98 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 6: and as I say, if you can negotiate a better deal, 99 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 6: go for it. But let's focus on the things that 100 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 6: we can control. 101 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 3: Going back to that Orca's on certain uncertainty, there have 102 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 3: been calls for a backup plan. Here's National's MP Barnaby 103 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 3: Joyce earlier today. 104 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: You should have a contingency plan. 105 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 7: We like when as soon as the United States went 106 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 7: out and said we're reviewing. 107 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 8: Orcas, Blambelle should have rung everywhere everywhere pad. 108 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 4: Is he right? Do we need a contingency plan? Now? 109 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 2: Look, there seems to me sort of confidence guided or 110 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 2: not on the fact that ORCUS is safe within Australia. 111 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 2: You say the comments from South Australia's premier yesterday talking 112 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 2: about the fact that we need to build submarines, and 113 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 2: he's right. I mean, the world has been compared to 114 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 2: the nine ends thirties in terms of uncertainty. This could 115 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 2: be a precursor for the next sort of world war 116 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 2: of your life. You've got all these conflicts going on. 117 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 2: We need to be able to protect ourselves and you 118 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 2: look at those Chinese military exercises off the coast just 119 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 2: late last year. We're not well placed to defend ourselves 120 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 2: and the world is going to pivot of that, we 121 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,559 Speaker 2: have no doubt. So we need submarines, we need orcus 122 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 2: and we need that to be crystal clear and locked 123 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 2: in for decades to come. So in terms of contingencies, 124 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 2: I don't know whether that's the right way to go, 125 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 2: but we certainly need to protect our future. 126 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 4: Well, gentlemen, there's a hidden twist. 127 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 3: In Albanizi in the Albanese government's new super tax, and it's. 128 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 4: Been brought to light. 129 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 3: Treasurer Jim Chalmers plan also includes a hidden death tax 130 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 3: of sorts, with those who inherit super from someone who's 131 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 3: died face a double taxting, where unused tax credits will lapse, 132 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 3: capital gains taxes remain in place. Dan, what do you 133 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 3: think of this idea? It hardly seems fair. 134 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 6: Well, I agree, Carolina is not fair, and it shows 135 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 6: what happens when you're spending is out of control and 136 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 6: there's no plan to reign in government spending. 137 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: And if there's no. 138 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 6: Plan to reign in spending, then taxes will need to 139 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 6: go up and debt will continue to go up, which 140 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 6: is just taxes. 141 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: In the future. 142 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 6: So my concern here is ultimately that labor is going 143 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 6: to go to the electric with much higher taxes including 144 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 6: I mean, really the worst part about this is the 145 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 6: unrealized gains component, which means you're going to get taxed 146 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 6: on income that you have yet to earn, and that 147 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 6: is one of the most concerning parts of it. So look, 148 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 6: I think the more that this goes on and the 149 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 6: more the debate goes on, the worse this looks for 150 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 6: our country, and the worse it. 151 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 4: Looks for labor pat death taxes. 152 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 3: I mean, for a long time, the opposition, the Coalition 153 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 3: has been talking about them about how it something that's 154 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 3: in Labour's plans. They've denied it for a long time, 155 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 3: but this certainly looks like they're starting to creep in here. 156 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 2: Absolutely, and look at the second death tax. If you 157 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 2: like Carolina, I mean most Australians don't realize if you 158 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 2: inherit super generally there's going to be a seventeen percent 159 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 2: tax on at least part of that super. This is 160 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 2: a second death tax, and that's something that Australians aren't 161 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 2: aren't prepared to actually cop I don't think this is 162 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 2: a really big issue. And if you look at the 163 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 2: mechanics of this tax, you look at three million dollars 164 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 2: super and taxes on top of that, and that's not 165 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 2: going to be indexed, so in ten twenty thirty years time, 166 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 2: it's probably still going to be three million dollars, which 167 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 2: is not going to be a great deal of money 168 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 2: by that time. It's a really insidious tax, this one. 169 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 3: And don't forget the Prime Minister and a lot of 170 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 3: minister's own benefits won't get touched. That's probably one of 171 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 3: the most compaired parts too. Let's move on to another 172 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 3: story now, and disgusted parents have lashed out at a 173 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 3: prestigious Melbourne private school over a pride month guest speaker 174 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 3: that the school brought in. Trinity Boys Grammar School says 175 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 3: it invited queer Palestinian activist ba Sam. 176 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 4: Curbage to speak to its students. 177 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 3: On the recommendation of the taxpayer funded Victorian Pride Center. 178 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 3: According to a parent, Curbage directed students during his speech 179 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 3: to look up his social media page, but when they 180 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 3: did that, they quickly found a video of him performing 181 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 3: a lewd act. Now, the Victorian Pride Center has removed 182 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 3: this speaker's profile from its website, and both the center 183 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 3: and the school have promised to implement better vetting processes. 184 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 3: But Dan, how could the school not have done any 185 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 3: basic screening before inviting a controversial speaker like this to 186 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 3: speak to children. 187 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: Oh, the principal's got to be sacked. 188 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 6: I mean, this is just an example of how our 189 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 6: education system's failing. And if you're a parent and you're 190 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 6: concerned about this, change schools stop donating to these so 191 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 6: called elite schools, because this is not the only example 192 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 6: of this kind of insidious ideology being put in front 193 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 6: of children. And I think it's just time to get 194 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 6: real about the fact that the only thing that a 195 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 6: lot of these private schools. You know, the very elite 196 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 6: ones listen to is the bottom line. So you've got 197 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 6: to make it hurt. And you know, I just think 198 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 6: this is so removed from basic community expectations of what 199 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 6: should be taught at schools. By the way, this is 200 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 6: happening in the context of a rapidly declining education sector, 201 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 6: where governments are spending more and more every single year, 202 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 6: yet results continue to go backwards. Children are less educated 203 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 6: than in the past, and they're taught not only this 204 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 6: kind of ideology, but they're taught to be ashamed of 205 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 6: our country, ashamed of our history, and in doing so, 206 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 6: ashamed of themselves. 207 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: So if this isn't a wake up call, I don't 208 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: know what is. 209 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 4: Well. 210 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 3: We're going to be looking at some of that those 211 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 3: problems within the education sector with my next guest, but Pat, 212 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 3: this particular sector also has a history of making some 213 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 3: extreme anti Israel statements as well. He describes himself as 214 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 3: a queer Palestinian activist. I always find that ironic given 215 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 3: what would happen were he to actually be living in Gaza. 216 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 2: Absolutely he wouldn't be able to do this in Gaza, 217 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 2: And I mean that's the great hypocrisy that we're saying 218 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 2: in the universities especially, but also in this case, in 219 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 2: secondary schools where it's not being explained properly. The arguments 220 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 2: are basically that let's be pro Palestine, but at the 221 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 2: same time, let's blow up Israel and make it cease 222 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 2: to exist. I mean, this argument pushing for pro Palestine 223 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 2: is actually dishonest in the Australian context and has been 224 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 2: since October seventeen seven, twenty twenty three. And these sorts 225 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 2: of activists shouldn't be anywhere near a school which is 226 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 2: charging parents forty grand a pop to send their kids there. 227 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 2: It's a Christian school. And the fact that this wasn't 228 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 2: looked at closely, that the due diligence wasn't done by 229 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 2: the school, is it characteristic That's been true of our 230 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 2: universities across the board across Australia. It's a really troubling 231 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 2: thing that this school is actually abrogating responsibility for activists 232 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 2: addressing their students. 233 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, really concerning and hopefully a wake up call for 234 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 3: schools across the country. Let's check in on the Victorian 235 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 3: Liberals now, and the party's state branch has been warned 236 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 3: that if it goes ahead with a plan to loan 237 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 3: former leader John Persuto the remaining one point five million 238 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 3: dollars he needs to pay Moira Deeming, it would lose 239 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 3: the support of grassroots members and trigger a mass exodus 240 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 3: of donors. 241 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 4: Now, Dan, let's not. 242 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 3: Forget that this is all about Persudo's own decision and 243 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 3: the party in backing him to smear Deeming as an Nazi. Sympathize, 244 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 3: but simply speaking at a women's rights rally that just 245 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 3: happened to be gay crashed by neo Nazis, I. 246 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 6: Agree, and I think the assessment is correct that there 247 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 6: would be a revolt of what's remaining of the grassroots 248 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 6: of the Liberal Party in Victoria. I on a personal level, 249 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 6: sympathize and feel for John Persudo. I mean, he's gone 250 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 6: through all kinds of difficulties and yes it's true that 251 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 6: he was the instigator of it. But you know, nonetheless, 252 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 6: on a personal level, I feel for him. But it 253 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 6: is not the job of the Victorian Liberal Party to 254 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 6: act like a bank in essentially lending money to a 255 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 6: member of Parliament. If people want to contribute to John's 256 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 6: situation privately, they're more than welcome to do that. But 257 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 6: I certainly don't think the Victorian Liberal Party itself should 258 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 6: be footing the bill for this. And as you rightly say, 259 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 6: it all comes back to the treatment of more redeeming 260 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 6: and there were many many times along this road where 261 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 6: the course could have been corrected, decisions taken not to 262 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 6: do that, and that's why we are where we. 263 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 3: Are exactly So, I have a lot less sympathy for 264 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 3: John Persuto than you do down maybe that makes you 265 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 3: a better person, but pat is saving Persuto from bankruptcy 266 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 3: here and therefore losing his seed and triggering a by 267 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 3: election really worth the pain that it will cause to 268 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 3: the party in terms of its support from its base 269 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 3: and donations if there is an exodus. 270 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 2: Look, there is a political imperative here. I mean, as 271 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 2: a Victorian, you know, I've suffered, along with everybody else 272 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 2: with some of the worst governments mismanaging money since twenty 273 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 2: fourteen for a very long time. We actually need a 274 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 2: decent opposition, And even though I agree with a lot 275 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 2: of what Dana said, there is a political imperative here. 276 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 2: We actually need an opposition that is not sucking the 277 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 2: oxygen out of the room with its own internal battles. 278 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: The whole time. 279 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 2: We actually need a decent opposition that can actually stand 280 00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 2: up and offer itself as an alternative dreadful government that 281 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 2: we're suffering from from. So I'd like to see the 282 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 2: John Prestudo thing go away. Really, you just want it 283 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 2: fixed and to go away. Let's move on's let's talk 284 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 2: about good governance. Let's talk about policies, because it's been 285 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 2: around for I think eight eight months or longer. 286 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: Well. 287 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 3: Speaking of mismanagement of finances and Victoria, the Allen Labor 288 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 3: government is pushing to acts key budget transparency laws as 289 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 3: state data is projected to sor to a whopping one 290 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 3: hundred and ninety four billion dollars. In a bill to 291 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 3: be debated this week, the government will seek to block 292 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 3: a post election budget update from occurring next year and 293 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 3: limit executive oversight over the issuing of public money by 294 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 3: removing the need for the state governor to approve the 295 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 3: drawing down of funds. 296 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 4: Dan how sneak he is. 297 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 6: This, Well, we're now in the sticking our heads in 298 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 6: the sand face of the collapse of the Victorian economy. 299 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 6: This is the last thing that is needed. There needs 300 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 6: to be full transparency. There are already questions over the 301 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 6: veracity of figures that are presented in the Victorian government's budget. 302 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 6: Much of their spending items are either outside of the 303 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 6: forward estimates or are off budget entirely, so it's difficult 304 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 6: to get a clear picture of just. 305 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: How bad things are. 306 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 6: But make no mistake about this, this is not just 307 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 6: a Victorian issue, because if Victoria's economy goes down, the 308 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 6: rest of Australia will need to bail out Victoria. So 309 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 6: this is a big issue for every single Australian taxpayer 310 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 6: because ultimately it'll be Canberra, through the GST or other 311 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 6: grant mechanisms that will boil the Victorian economy out and 312 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 6: in doing so we'll drag down the rest of the country. 313 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 3: Daniel Wild and Patrick Carlin, thank you vote so much 314 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 3: for your time. 315 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 9: Well. 316 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 3: An academic has been stood down and referred to police 317 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:53,239 Speaker 3: by Australia's oldest university after tweeting Zionists should be executed. 318 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 4: The University of Sydney's. 319 00:16:55,200 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 3: Farhad Ali posted last week f sanctions, I want bonus 320 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 3: executed like we executed Nazis. When that post was marked 321 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 3: by X's violent speech, Ali doubled down. He wrote, don't 322 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 3: tell me wanting to see these people hanged like the 323 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,719 Speaker 3: Nazis were post Nuremberg. 324 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 4: Is violent. Ali is now. 325 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 3: Being investigated by both the university and New South Wales police. Meanwhile, 326 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 3: the UNI's student protest leaders were questioned at a New 327 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 3: Southwell's parliamentary inquiry into anti Semitism. One caught out for 328 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:35,919 Speaker 3: giving incorrect evidence about a billboard of Palestinian terrorists that 329 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 3: was put up on campus. 330 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 6: There has never been any such billboard, you know, there's 331 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 6: no photographic evidence. 332 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 10: I would say that your claim that this billboard didn't 333 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 10: exist is indeed fake news because I have a copy 334 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 10: a photo of the billboard here. 335 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: We never saw any of this billboard. 336 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 3: The billboard featured this image of October's Sevan mastermind and 337 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 3: Hama's military chief Mohammed def among other Palestinian terrorists. Joining 338 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 3: me now is the New South Wales Liberal Upper House 339 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 3: MP Chris Rath, who exposed that student protest and led 340 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 3: a lot of that question during the inquiry. 341 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,360 Speaker 4: Chris, thank you for joining. 342 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 10: Me, Thanks for having me. 343 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 3: Well, look, it was infuriating to listen to some of 344 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 3: that evidence just to find, for example, calls for interfarda. 345 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 10: That's right, I think they're quite dismissive of antisemitism. These 346 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,439 Speaker 10: student leaders, and indeed so many in particular at the 347 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 10: University of Sydney. They try and say that inter farda 348 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 10: just means shake it off or shake off, which is ridiculous. 349 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 10: We know that into farda is used as a term 350 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 10: by so many to mean an armed and aggressive uprising. 351 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 10: It has been a term that has inspired so many 352 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 10: around the world to enact violence against the Jewish community 353 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 10: and against the State of Israel. So I don't think 354 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 10: that we should be turning a blind eye when people 355 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 10: use terms like globalize into farda. 356 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 3: You also had the chance during this inquiry to question 357 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:22,360 Speaker 3: Sydney University leadership over it's handling of these tweets by 358 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 3: that academic farhad Ali. The fact that an academic felt 359 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:31,719 Speaker 3: emboldened enough to post execute Zionus in the first place, 360 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 3: What do you think that says about our universities. 361 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 10: Yeah, I think that the universities have been very slow 362 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 10: to act since October seven on combating anti Semitism. At 363 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 10: the University of Sydney in particular, they did very little 364 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 10: over twelve months. They didn't shut down the encampment that existed, 365 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 10: and that harassed and intimidated Jews. If you look at 366 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 10: the farhad Ali example, I think you know that antisemitism 367 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 10: is rife at our universities, in particular at the University 368 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 10: of Sydney. They try and hide behind terms like well, 369 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 10: if we say execute the Zionists, it's not actually anti Semitic. 370 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 10: They try and differentiate Zionism from the Jewish community, but 371 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 10: we all know that that's complete and utter nonsense. No 372 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 10: reasonable person would differentiate Zionism from antisemitism. And that you 373 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 10: know that link is is I think really important. 374 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really disingenuous, and I think you exposed how 375 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 3: they use that sort of coded language. I mean ninety 376 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 3: percent of Jews a Zionists, something like that figure. But 377 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 3: of course non Jews can be Zionus too. Many non 378 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 3: Jews of Zionis and believe Jews have the right to 379 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 3: sovereignty in their own homeland. What did the universities have 380 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 3: to say about their handling of the anti Semitism crisis overall? 381 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 3: I noticed that University of Sydney leadership actually said that 382 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 3: they thought they handled the dismantling of the longest running 383 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 3: pro palest in in encampment on their campus, well compared 384 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 3: to say campuses in the US. 385 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 10: Yeah, I think there's a lot of revisionist history there 386 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 10: from the university saying that they did a remarkable job. 387 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 10: But we know that anti Semitism has been on the 388 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 10: rise at our universities since October seven. Less than half 389 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 10: of all Jewish students and academics feel safe going to 390 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 10: our universities. It's a terrible situation that we're in. I 391 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 10: think the University of Sydney somewhat reluctantly acknowledged that they 392 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 10: didn't get everything right, and I think one of the 393 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 10: things that they didn't get right was allowing that encampment 394 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 10: to exist for as long as it did. When you 395 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 10: have an encampment that is has links to a known 396 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 10: terrorist organization his book to Rea, an encampment that proudly 397 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 10: flies the flag of Hesbola or the Taliban, or at 398 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 10: least flags that resemble those flags, when you have an 399 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 10: encampment that is deliberately intimidating and harassing Jewish students, I 400 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 10: think that it went on for far too long, and 401 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 10: one of their responses seemed to be that, well, there 402 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 10: should be maybe another entrance into exams or into classes 403 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 10: that Jewish students could use so that they didn't have 404 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 10: to walk past the encampments and be harassed by these 405 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 10: hard left activists. Well, I would suggest that the better 406 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 10: approach would be to shut down the encampments and not 407 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 10: to allow those encampments to occur, rather than segregating our 408 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,360 Speaker 10: Jewish students from everyone else by giving them a special 409 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 10: entrance that they could use. 410 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, I noticed the university said that it wasn't just 411 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 3: for Jewish students the alternative entry, But then again, who 412 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 3: else was feeling as rasped by these encampments? Chris Brathware 413 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 3: out of time, but I really appreciate you coming on. 414 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 4: Thanks for your time. 415 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 1: No worries still to come. 416 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 3: Lefties losing it plus allegations around plan to assassinate Donald Trump. 417 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 3: Kosher Gata has the details, and now it's time for 418 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 3: lefties losing it. First, let's do a welfare check on 419 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,880 Speaker 3: those US protesters, starting with a grown man losing it 420 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 3: at a doll of Donald Trump. 421 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 5: No, no, no, yes, entirely sane behavior, Just like this 422 00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 5: next protester who claims Hitler and the Nazis. 423 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 4: Got their ideas from America. 424 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 11: My friends, when you think about the Holocaust, how they're 425 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 11: going to a reference point professism. 426 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 4: I need us to remember it was not born out 427 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 4: of nineteen forty s. 428 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 12: Hello and his cis talking out from America, from the. 429 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 11: Archim crow laws, from the first life, first people's and oh, 430 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 11: extreme racial segregations. 431 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: That's where he has a playbook. 432 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 3: Now watches the members of a movement who preach about 433 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 3: kindness and inclusivity kindly call for officers to jump off 434 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 3: a building. And the kindness continued after protesters found out 435 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 3: which accommodation ICE agents were staying out and held a 436 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 3: little demonstration they. 437 00:24:52,720 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 4: Called no sleep for Ice. So what are the Democrats doing? 438 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 3: Well, all this is happening, Well, they're pushing a bill 439 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 3: banning mosques for law enforcement, effectively forcing offices to endanger themselves. 440 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 8: And I think the concern is a lot that's happening. 441 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,439 Speaker 8: There are a lot of people who are engage in 442 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 8: these enforcement actions and we don't know are they federal, 443 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 8: are they contractors? Are the local law enforcement? And so 444 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 8: we're requiring that people not have to wear masks except 445 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 8: for some very limited exceptions, and that they'd be identifying 446 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 8: information insures that we know who is involved here. 447 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 3: Despite the violent protest footage we've all seen over the 448 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 3: past week, left wing media still insists they're peaceful. 449 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 4: Nothing to see here, folks. 450 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 7: A study from the Media Research Center shows that from 451 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 7: June eleventh to the twelfth, CNN and MSNBC personalities insisted 452 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 7: the anti ice demonstrations were peaceful two hundred and eleven 453 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 7: times they were more entire two hundred and eleven times 454 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:02,880 Speaker 7: they were peaceful. 455 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 3: You'd think at this point lawmakers would be trying to 456 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 3: calm public hostilities, but some are doing the exact opposite, 457 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 3: like Democrat North Carolina state Representative Julie von Hafen, who 458 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 3: posted a video on social media that included this image 459 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 3: of the No Kings protest of a sign that read, 460 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 3: in difficult times, some cuts maybe necessary, with an image 461 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 3: of a guillotine and two decapitated heads. 462 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 4: Classy stuff. 463 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 3: She later posted a message condemning political violence, and her 464 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 3: ex account is now inactive.

Show me where it says that 500 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 9: protests are supposed to be polite? 501 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 4: How do you resist the temptation to run up and 502 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 4: wring her? 503 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 8: Next biggest terror threat in this country is white men. 504 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: Most of them radicalize up. 505 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 14: To the right. 506 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 13: I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the 507 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:51,719 Speaker 13: White House. 508 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 3: Joining me now is Skyanese contributor Kosha Gada. Kosha Trump 509 00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 3: has warned residents of Tehran to evacuate immediately, then left 510 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 3: the G seven early because of the Middle East. Defense 511 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 3: Secretary Pete Hegseth has confirmed the US is sending more 512 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 3: forces to the region. What do you think the level 513 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 3: of US involvement will be in this conflict now? 514 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 4: And do you think the US will give. 515 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 3: Israel the bunker buster bombs it needs to properly damage 516 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 3: around nuclear capabilities? 517 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 11: Calin great to be with you, you know, That is 518 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 11: the central question on everybody's mind right now, and honestly, 519 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 11: it is a difficult one to answer because it is 520 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 11: exposing a clear divide in American politics right now, and 521 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 11: particularly on the right of the Trump based Trumps electorate 522 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 11: and his constituency, and that is that by and large, 523 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 11: they are very supportive of Israel's sovereignty, Israel's right to 524 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 11: defend itself and to do what it deems is in 525 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 11: its national interest. I think there's full agreement there. But 526 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 11: where that line starts to break and the divide appears 527 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 11: is what the level of US involvement should be. And 528 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 11: Trump's core base is staunchly opposed to it. They are 529 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 11: war weary. The US is coming off of twenty twenty 530 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 11: five years of really failed or very anemic interventions in 531 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 11: the Middle East. Don't want to get dragged back into it. 532 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 11: And then the question is, if you start to give 533 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 11: a little bit of artillery or these types of bombs, 534 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 11: is that defensive or offensive? Is that taking us down 535 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,479 Speaker 11: the slippery slope of greater involvement? And right now that 536 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 11: does not seem to be where the mood of the 537 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 11: country is, and I would have to think that it's 538 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 11: not where Trump's instincts are based on everything he's ever 539 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 11: said throughout his tenure, political campaign, campaigning career, and even 540 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 11: before that. 541 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, such a hard one for him to straddle, especially 542 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 3: with his base, as you point out, because if he 543 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 3: does nothing and he doesn't help Israel, then will Iran 544 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 3: be able to progress with its nuclear plans and become 545 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 3: a threat to the whole world, including the US and 546 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 3: the rest of US. You know, there have been these 547 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 3: stunning allegations that have come out as well from Israeli 548 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 3: Prime Minister Bench Yahoo, who's accused iron of actively planning 549 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 3: to assassinate Trump, who the Iranian regime had identified, he said, 550 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 3: as a threat to its nuclear program. 551 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 4: Take a look. 552 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 14: They want to kill it. Look is enemy number one. 553 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 14: He's a decisive leader. He never took the path that 554 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 14: others took to try to bargain with him in a 555 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 14: way that is weak, giving them, giving them basically a 556 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 14: pathway to a rich uranium, which means a pathway to 557 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 14: the bomb, patting it with billions and billions of dollars Toosha. 558 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 3: Is this Israel trying to get more help from Trump 559 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 3: in this conflict, or do you think this could actually 560 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 3: explain all the unanswered questions that still linger over the 561 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 3: two assassination plots against Trump. 562 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 11: You know, it's another example of where it's so tricky 563 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 11: or even impossible to know that for sure in the 564 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 11: fog of war that we're in. You know, there are 565 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 11: lots of reports out there, some conflicting, some true, some untrue, 566 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 11: some rtially true, And the reality is that we will 567 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 11: never know probably the true extent of how much is 568 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 11: true or not in there. But it is certainly conceivable. 569 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 11: I mean, we know that many people have tried to 570 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 11: and continue to try to assassinate Trump or any leader, 571 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 11: especially him, because he has taken a different approach for 572 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 11: many many issues globally and domestically, and it's a violent 573 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 11: world out there, so it is certainly not outside the 574 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 11: realm of possibility. 575 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 4: It is also possible. 576 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 11: That these things are part of the stage craft that 577 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 11: different leaders and nations obviously do by mixing things out 578 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 11: there in the public discourse as one tool in how 579 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 11: to influence public opinion. So it's probably somewhere in between. 580 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 11: But I think the overall picture remains unchanged. That we 581 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 11: talked about about this really fundamental central question that Trump 582 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 11: is grappling with He is a peace snake by nature. 583 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 11: He doesn't like war, he doesn't like US involvement. He's 584 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 11: very much focused on domestic policy. But the world is 585 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 11: on fire right now, and each day that goes by, 586 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,479 Speaker 11: he is getting a little bit sucked into that picture. 587 00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 11: And time will tell how this all unfolds. 588 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, and he has talked a big talk with Iran, 589 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 3: with Hamas, saying if you don't do what I say, 590 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 3: in Hamas's case, they will be held to pay. We 591 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 3: didn't quite see that from the US perspective. And with Iran, 592 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 3: you know, if you don't hit those that sixty day 593 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 3: marketers to make a deal, then then you're going to 594 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 3: have to face the consequences as well. Meanwhile, Israeli bombs 595 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 3: have hit Iranian state media studios in Tehran, causing one 596 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 3: of their television hosts to flee. 597 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 4: The set's. 598 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 3: Kosher NETNYA, who pointed out, well, this isn't simply any 599 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 3: news channel but a tool being used by the Iranian 600 00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 3: regime to push propaganda on Iranians. 601 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 4: But extraordinary footage there. 602 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 11: Really not something you see every day for sure. And 603 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 11: you know, back to our theme of having the fog 604 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 11: of war. It's really hard to know exactly what's going on. 605 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 11: It is clear that Israel has waged a really exquisite 606 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 11: military campaign so far and just the way they've been 607 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 11: able to use intelligence coupled with their military might to 608 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 11: execute what they have in the last few days. So 609 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,919 Speaker 11: for sure we could see that being true. It is also, 610 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 11: I'm sure possible that the Iranian government is promoting, you know, 611 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 11: footage like this on purpose to try and again affect 612 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 11: public opinion not just domestically but globally in terms of 613 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,320 Speaker 11: what Israel is doing. Why are they striking media outlets 614 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 11: as opposed to nuclear facilities or the missile bomb and 615 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,319 Speaker 11: things like that. So that's I think part of what's 616 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 11: in the mix here. But this it is a reminder 617 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 11: either way that this is a big deal. It's a 618 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 11: very hot conflict. The stakes are high, the risks are high, 619 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:56,400 Speaker 11: and it is escalating. 620 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, Kosha, I also wanted to get your reaction to 621 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 3: Donald Trump's decision to ditch Albanesi at the G seven. 622 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,840 Speaker 4: But should we really be surprised about that? 623 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 11: You know, it's a fair question. It's not a good 624 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 11: day for Prime Minister Albin Easy as it wouldn't be 625 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 11: for anybody who's on the receiving end of a public rejection, 626 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 11: if we. 627 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:20,799 Speaker 4: Want to call it that. 628 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,920 Speaker 11: But just based on the topic we've discussed again, the 629 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,760 Speaker 11: world is on fire and there are other bigger pressing 630 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 11: issues out there than trade relationship between the US and Australia. 631 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 11: So I think there's some in the Prime Minister's defense. 632 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,719 Speaker 11: There is truth to that that the president's schedule is 633 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 11: very busy. Things happen. He also canceled a meeting with 634 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,360 Speaker 11: Prime Minister Modiam India, for example, another very important country 635 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 11: and important relationships. So I wouldn't read too much into it, 636 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 11: but it does show that if this administration here is 637 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 11: not able to be more proactive in developing diplomatic relationships 638 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 11: and getting a breakthrough with the Trump administration, then sort 639 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,720 Speaker 11: of spills out onto the world stage and certainly doesn't 640 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 11: make them look particularly strong. 641 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 4: No, it doesn't. 642 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 3: Well, let's look more closely at US politics now and 643 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 3: fifty seven year old of Vance Bulter, the man suspected 644 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 3: of shooting two state Democrat politicians in Minnesota, has been 645 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,279 Speaker 3: arrested after a two day man hunt, which saw authorities 646 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,240 Speaker 3: track him into rural woodlands. 647 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 4: What more do we know kosher. 648 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 3: Are there any more insights at this stage into his 649 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 3: motivation for these attacks? 650 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 11: So the story is still unfolding and developing. Different officials 651 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 11: have come out and said that they have reason to 652 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 11: believe that it certainly was politically motivated. They're being a 653 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:43,239 Speaker 11: little bit tight lipped about what more that means underneath it. Allegedly, 654 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 11: reportedly there was a notebook that had been recovered from 655 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,839 Speaker 11: his possessions that had a target hit list of other 656 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 11: political leaders that apparently he wanted to come after or 657 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 11: was thinking about going after. 658 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 4: Those names haven't. 659 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:59,280 Speaker 11: Been released yet officially, so we don't know. There's different 660 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 11: reports and rumors there of who it might be, which 661 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 11: might shed some more light. I think one of the 662 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 11: most curious things about this case is that the state 663 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 11: senator from Minnesota that he did assassinate and her husband, 664 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 11: she is a Democrat, a lifelong Democrat. However, she just 665 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 11: came out hours before her assassination and voted as a 666 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,520 Speaker 11: sole Democrat in favor of a Republican majority bill in 667 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 11: the state Senate. So read into that one made it's 668 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 11: tricky to exactly figure out what he's doing, but it 669 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:31,279 Speaker 11: sounds like just another example of violence. It tends to 670 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,359 Speaker 11: be coming from the left right now, whether you look 671 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 11: at the assassination of the United Healthcare CEO or other cases. 672 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 11: But we don't know all the details yet. 673 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, and also the fact that vance Bult was reported 674 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,759 Speaker 3: laer tim Walt appointee to one of. 675 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:44,720 Speaker 4: His boards as well. 676 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 3: But yeah, a lot more to run on this case, 677 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 3: no doubt. Now, Donald Trump has directed federal authorities to 678 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:56,880 Speaker 3: ramp up deportations in blue cities, saying on his platform 679 00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:01,400 Speaker 3: Truth Social the US must expand efforts to detain and 680 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 3: deport illegal aliens in America's largest cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, 681 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,880 Speaker 3: and New York, where millions upon millions of illegal aliens 682 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 3: reside Kosher. Given we've seen the violent protests over the 683 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,839 Speaker 3: past week in the US, how do you think this 684 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 3: move will go down there? 685 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 11: It is going to continue to be the firestorm that 686 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,280 Speaker 11: it is. I think it's a stark reminder to everybody 687 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,120 Speaker 11: how difficult this is. Again, Like the big picture is 688 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:36,680 Speaker 11: America has something like forty plus million illegals in its country. 689 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 11: About ten million of them came in in the last 690 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 11: four years under Biden. Willfully because that was the policy 691 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 11: it's the only thing we can interpret from that, and 692 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,640 Speaker 11: look how difficult it is to get them out once 693 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 11: they come in. The Public sentiment has completely shifted. Even 694 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,880 Speaker 11: lifelong Democrats, moderates, center left independence are all in favor 695 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,279 Speaker 11: of master deprotations. It's a shift that I haven't seen 696 00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,360 Speaker 11: in my lifetime in terms of how quickly that's happened. 697 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 11: So the public support is on Trump side, but the 698 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,839 Speaker 11: logistics and the mechanics of getting it done is really 699 00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 11: really difficult because of these protests, because of judges or 700 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,319 Speaker 11: we ruling or issuing these nationwide injunctions and all the 701 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,480 Speaker 11: rest of it. So this fight is not going to 702 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,320 Speaker 11: be easy. But he is going street to the belly 703 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 11: of the beast, which is these blue stats. These Democrat 704 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 11: states are sanctuary cities infamously where they just defy federal 705 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,439 Speaker 11: immigration law and law enforcement. And so that's where he's going, 706 00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:25,840 Speaker 11: and he's got three and a half years left to 707 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 11: do it. 708 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:26,719 Speaker 12: Well. 709 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 3: Speaking of one person who's definitely not in support of 710 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:34,280 Speaker 3: these mass deportations, New York State Attorney General Letitia James, 711 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,399 Speaker 3: who's facing a federal probe at the moment into allegations 712 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:41,800 Speaker 3: she engaged in mortgage fraud. She is investigating now local 713 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:47,800 Speaker 3: police for misconduct. The misconduct being allegedly helping the Trump 714 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:52,759 Speaker 3: administration to crack down on illegal immigration by cooperating with 715 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,920 Speaker 3: ICE and other border agencies. Kosher, what did you make 716 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:56,239 Speaker 3: of this? 717 00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:02,640 Speaker 11: She is still clinging to that sanctuary city mantra that 718 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 11: guided New York a very famous sanctuary city and state, 719 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 11: along with California and Illinois and others. And she's still 720 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 11: clinging to that. She is somebody who has gone down 721 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 11: in infamy as the attorney general presiding over a state 722 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,560 Speaker 11: that has had an increase in crime and poorly managed 723 00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:18,920 Speaker 11: budget and so many other things. 724 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 4: And what did she do. 725 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 11: She went after then candidate Trump and his business in 726 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 11: which there was no harm, there were no victims, the 727 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 11: whole thing where he allegedly overvalued the value of his 728 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,240 Speaker 11: properties to the banks, even though he paid back the interest, 729 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 11: got that conviction which is now working its way up 730 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 11: the court, and I think will be dismissed. But she 731 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 11: did that, and then the irony is really delicious that 732 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,719 Speaker 11: she's the one now being investigated for mortgage fraud. And 733 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:44,400 Speaker 11: then on top of that, now she's doing this so 734 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,480 Speaker 11: she's not going to go down without a fight. But 735 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,319 Speaker 11: she is not a figure who is sympathetic, and she 736 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 11: certainly has not covered herself in glory. 737 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:52,319 Speaker 4: No, she certainly has not. 738 00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,120 Speaker 3: Very quickly, we're almost out of time, but former Democrat 739 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,400 Speaker 3: governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo is facing and ethnics 740 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 3: complain over he's alleged failure to disclose the more than 741 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:05,759 Speaker 3: two point six million US dollars in stock options he 742 00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:10,359 Speaker 3: has an advanced nuclear technology before launching his New York 743 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:14,720 Speaker 3: mayoral campaign. Kosher, how damaging of these accusations. 744 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 11: It doesn't help, and it's just a payline on a 745 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,920 Speaker 11: series of things he's had in a fall from Greece 746 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,400 Speaker 11: from at one point he was a front runner for 747 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,319 Speaker 11: a Democrat leadership and this is just piling on to him. 748 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,160 Speaker 11: So he's definitely down, down and out for the party. 749 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 4: Another person not exactly covered in glory. 750 00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:34,840 Speaker 3: Kosher Garter, always great to speak to you, Thank you 751 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:35,359 Speaker 3: for your time. 752 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:36,800 Speaker 4: Still to come. 753 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 3: Meghan Markles speaks out about her infamous twerking video. 754 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 5: D D. 755 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:43,880 Speaker 4: Dun Levy has the latest. 756 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:58,000 Speaker 3: Welcome back joining me now is veteran broadcaster d D. 757 00:41:58,239 --> 00:41:58,920 Speaker 4: Dun Levy. 758 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 3: Did he former ten executive producer Rob McKnight has lashed 759 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 3: the network's replacement for the project, ten News Plus, which 760 00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,399 Speaker 3: is set to air an hour earlier than its predecessor 761 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,400 Speaker 3: at six pm. He said, this is going to be 762 00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:17,560 Speaker 3: a multi billion dollar disaster for Ten. Not only have 763 00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,720 Speaker 3: they failed to create a unique brand with this show, 764 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 3: but they've worked on the assumption that viewers of ten 765 00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:27,040 Speaker 3: News at five pm will continue watching news on ten. 766 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,880 Speaker 3: Every bit of research and ratings I've seen over thirty 767 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,520 Speaker 3: years in the industry shows news viewers will watch ten 768 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,560 Speaker 3: at five pm and then flick over to nine and 769 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,359 Speaker 3: seven at six pm. He also said that if ten 770 00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,920 Speaker 3: News Plus is to have any chance of succeeding, it 771 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 3: had to set itself apart from the woke sermonizing that 772 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:53,000 Speaker 3: alienated viewers and sank its predecessor of the project. 773 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 4: Did he do you think his assessment is right? 774 00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 16: Absolutely one hundred percent in Rob's very experience, and I 775 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:02,359 Speaker 16: do appreciate his opinions, I think is correct. I think 776 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,720 Speaker 16: Ten have really come up against it with this idea 777 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,000 Speaker 16: because they say that they're chasing a more mature audience, 778 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,800 Speaker 16: because we know that younger people are not consuming their news. 779 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:15,319 Speaker 16: In fact, any content at all on free to wear 780 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:20,160 Speaker 16: television these days, and that mature audience is already rusted 781 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,919 Speaker 16: on over at seven and nine. You know, any given night, 782 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,360 Speaker 16: if you look at the two biggest shows, the biggest 783 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,160 Speaker 16: rating shows of the evening, it's going to be the 784 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:31,520 Speaker 16: seven and nine News. So that audience that ten are 785 00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:36,080 Speaker 16: chasing are already settled in somewhere else, So they're going 786 00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:37,799 Speaker 16: to have a lot of trouble trying to get them 787 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,680 Speaker 16: to watch this new offering. I think its name is 788 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,440 Speaker 16: really name. It doesn't tell us anything about what we 789 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,319 Speaker 16: can expect to see and like it or not, whether 790 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:50,319 Speaker 16: it's real or perceived. Ten has people can perceive it 791 00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:53,040 Speaker 16: as being woke, and that's another thing that they're up 792 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,520 Speaker 16: again against in trying to get people to watch this show. 793 00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,160 Speaker 3: You're right about the name ten years plus. It sounds 794 00:43:58,160 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 3: like a new iPhone or something. 795 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:00,200 Speaker 7: I mean. 796 00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,759 Speaker 3: While Meghan Markle has broken her silence on the infamous 797 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 3: twerking video she posted to her Instagram last week while 798 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,320 Speaker 3: in labor with daughter Lillibat, here's what she had to say. 799 00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,759 Speaker 15: It's also a really great reminder that with all the 800 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,880 Speaker 15: noise or whatever people do, they're still a whole life, 801 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:19,920 Speaker 15: a real, authentic, fun life. 802 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:20,920 Speaker 12: That's happening behind the scenes. 803 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,520 Speaker 15: I'm just grateful that now being back on social as well, 804 00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:25,319 Speaker 15: I have a police where you can share it on 805 00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:26,280 Speaker 15: my own terms. 806 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,640 Speaker 3: Diddy, I got to say, I watched that and the 807 00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:32,240 Speaker 3: last thing that struck me was authenticity. It all seemed 808 00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,800 Speaker 3: to be a really sort of I don't know, choreographed, 809 00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 3: almost moment of spontaneity that she showed correct and. 810 00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,640 Speaker 16: I think that's the issue here. And there was a 811 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,520 Speaker 16: couple of grabs released from another podcast that Megan has 812 00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,040 Speaker 16: gone on, and one of the things that she said 813 00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 16: that she would like most is for people to tell 814 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:51,560 Speaker 16: the truth. 815 00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:52,480 Speaker 4: It tells us. 816 00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 12: I think that she knows she's got a problem in 817 00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,360 Speaker 12: people's perception of her, that she's a liar. You know. 818 00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,319 Speaker 16: She painted this image of her on the Netflix show 819 00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,960 Speaker 16: that she released recently, saying that she sat in front 820 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,399 Speaker 16: of the TV eating TV dinners while her brother came 821 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,080 Speaker 16: out and said, that's a load of rubbish. 822 00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:09,640 Speaker 12: We weren't poor at all. You know. 823 00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:11,839 Speaker 16: She tried to tell us that she never knew who 824 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,960 Speaker 16: Prince Harry was before she hooked up with him, and 825 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:16,239 Speaker 16: that's surely a lie. 826 00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:17,520 Speaker 12: I don't believe a word of that. 827 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:21,040 Speaker 16: I think she knows that people can see right through 828 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:21,960 Speaker 16: all of her. 829 00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,640 Speaker 12: Fakery and it's coming undone. It really is. 830 00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:28,680 Speaker 3: And the Sussexes have now released never before seen footage 831 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:32,239 Speaker 3: of Prince Harry playing with their two children to celebrate 832 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:35,640 Speaker 3: Father's Day. Did he I thought they wanted privacy? 833 00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,880 Speaker 16: Yes, Once again, this is an example of them saying 834 00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:43,240 Speaker 16: one thing and doing the other. She's using her family 835 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,520 Speaker 16: now as currency. She's obviously addicted now to the sugarhead 836 00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:48,840 Speaker 16: of the likes that she's getting because she's starting to 837 00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:51,359 Speaker 16: release more of this stuff on Instagram. But I also 838 00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,880 Speaker 16: want to point out to Meghan, that's not your father, 839 00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:57,320 Speaker 16: that's your husband. Maybe she was posting it on behalf 840 00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,800 Speaker 16: of the children who asked her to post that, But 841 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 16: how about repair the relationship with your own father, Megan, 842 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:05,920 Speaker 16: because that would be the one I would think I 843 00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,600 Speaker 16: would appreciate seeing a post of her with her own dad. 844 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,279 Speaker 16: We know that she doesn't have a good relationship with 845 00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:14,720 Speaker 16: her family, but it's again just I think, an example 846 00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:18,919 Speaker 16: of her being manipulative and using her family to get 847 00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,360 Speaker 16: what she wants, and that is the attention which she's getting. 848 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,319 Speaker 12: Unfortunately, we're giving it to her now, are we? 849 00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:24,319 Speaker 4: Yeah, we are. 850 00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:26,680 Speaker 3: It's hard to give her the benefit of the doubt though, 851 00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,879 Speaker 3: did I mean not just her own father. Think about 852 00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,920 Speaker 3: the relationship between Harry and his father, King Charles and 853 00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,640 Speaker 3: how she's played a role in helping to pull them apart. 854 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,919 Speaker 3: And speaking of King Charles, well, he's shared his own 855 00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:44,480 Speaker 3: touching Father's Day message. He posted throwback photos of himself 856 00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:48,040 Speaker 3: and his sister Princess Anne playing on the swings while 857 00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:51,440 Speaker 3: their late father, Prince Philip pushed them, as well as 858 00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,640 Speaker 3: a photo of his wife Quinn Camilla with her late dad, 859 00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:58,359 Speaker 3: Major Bruce Shand from the April two thousand and five 860 00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:02,160 Speaker 3: wedding day. Did he I found these a really touching 861 00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:05,279 Speaker 3: tribute in contrast to perhaps what Megan. 862 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:08,960 Speaker 16: Had to share well exactly because it seems and feels 863 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:12,719 Speaker 16: and probably is authentic and look. I as much as 864 00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,960 Speaker 16: anyone would love to see this relationship between Harry and 865 00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,160 Speaker 16: the rest of the royal family repaired. 866 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,160 Speaker 12: But I think he's damaged it beyond. 867 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:23,640 Speaker 16: Repair with the release of his book Spare and all 868 00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:25,520 Speaker 16: of these attacks that he's having to go at them 869 00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:30,760 Speaker 16: in the press, and he's saying that still this issue 870 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:32,200 Speaker 16: of the security if he were. 871 00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:33,080 Speaker 12: To go back to London. 872 00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,480 Speaker 16: You know, they're so in fear of their lives and 873 00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:40,800 Speaker 16: because the Royal family won't provide them with the security 874 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,719 Speaker 16: that they want, that that's never going to happen. And 875 00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:45,960 Speaker 16: yet we go back again to what Meghan has done 876 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,080 Speaker 16: in releasing all those pictures of the children. If they 877 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:51,120 Speaker 16: really were so concerned about the security of their family, 878 00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,360 Speaker 16: why would she be releasing pictures of the children's faces 879 00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:55,200 Speaker 16: the way she's doing that. 880 00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,360 Speaker 3: I thought she was going for a phase of covering 881 00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,720 Speaker 3: them up. You make a really good point. It doesn't 882 00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:04,200 Speaker 3: make sense accept as a sort of crisis management desperate 883 00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:05,520 Speaker 3: crisis management tool. 884 00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,399 Speaker 4: Dd Dunleyvy. Thank you so much for your time. 885 00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,200 Speaker 12: Thanks Carolyn, and that's it for me. 886 00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,520 Speaker 4: Up next is Newsnight. Good Night,
