Speaker 1: On scorns Australia. This is the Wider Panalty Show.

Speaker 2: to discuss that and much more. Brittany Higgins drops her

6

Speaker 2: defamation appeal against former Liberal Minister Linda Reynolds. Chris Merritt

7

Speaker 2: will be here to explain the latest.

8
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 3: C J.

9
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 2: Pearson will have all the US news, including what Americans

10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 2: made of our politicians and our media pack and later

11
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 2: in the hour, the Great propsy in Pimer will explain

12
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 2: what the new rare minerals deal means for Australia and

13
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 2: Left He's losing It has an extra dose of Hollywood lunacy,

14
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: including Robert de.

15
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 4: Niro, Gables of the Cabinet, Stephen Miller. He's a Nazi, yes,

16
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 4: and he's Jewish.

17
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: But first to grow in questions over the suitability of

18
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 2: Kevin Rudd as Australia's ambassador to the US after he

19
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 2: was humiliated on the world stage yesterday by President Donald Trump.

20
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 2: Even the Prime Minister was laughing at him.

21
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: Whereas you said.

22
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 5: Bad before it took this position to president like you.

23
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: But the Albertiezi government says that Trump's slap down of

24
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,559
Speaker 2: Kevin Right was just him having a bit of fun

25
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 2: and Right is still perfectly suitable for the role he is.

26
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 2: What Foreign Minister Penny Wong had to say.

27
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 6: He basically told Kevin Rudd he'll probably never like him.

28
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 7: Does that make his position.

29
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 8: Kevin Rudd's as ambassador to the US a bit untenable?

30
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: Look, I think anyone looking at that knows that was

31
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: tongue in cheek. We heard the laughter.

32
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 8: We know that we had a very successful meeting, and

33
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 8: full credit to Kevin.

34
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: They were laughing at Kevin, they weren't laughing with him.

35
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: Penny and Anthony Albernezi has followed up with this earlier today,

36
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: again pretending like all is okay, it's perfectly normal to

37
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 2: have an ambassador who has made horrendous comments about the

38
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 2: sitting US president. Nothing to see here.

39
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 9: Well, thanks so much, Kevin, and thank you for what

40
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 9: you do and outstanding. If there's a harder worker ambassador

41
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 9: on the hill, then please let me know and get

42
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 9: them care because Kevin works his guts out and he

43
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 9: seems to know everyone in the US.

44
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: System joining me now to discuss. There's Sky News contributors

45
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: Louise Roberts, and we've got a Dony Media founder Lisa Goddard. Louise,

46
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: I'll start with you. Is the PM right, is Kevin Rudd?

47
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 2: Say houses He's working his guts out for Australia in

48
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: his current role, and isn't good for Australia to have

49
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: someone in there who the Trump administration obviously has some

50
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: issues with.

51
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, so, hi reader, So look, Kevin Rudd is Donald

52
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 6: Trump's punchline.

53
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: That much is evidence.

54
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 6: We've seen that, the whole world has seen that this week.

55
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 6: And is he safe in his job? Well, yes, because

56
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 6: the PM might sack him because he will lose fates,

57
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 6: he'll look like he's made the wrong decision in appointing

58
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 6: him in the first place. But that doesn't mean that

59
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 6: Kevin Rudd is effective. I mean Petty Wong was saying

60
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 6: that he was working very hard behind the scenes to

61
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 6: make this meeting happen, and of course himself has endorsed

62
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 6: him one hundred percent overnight. But we have no proof

63
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 6: of any of this actually happening behind the scenes at all,

64
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 6: And what we have is a complacent diplomatic situation here,

65
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 6: and what we need is an envoy who is respected

66
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 6: on both sides of US politics, not someone who's a

67
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 6: punchline in a joke. And there must be you know,

68
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 6: many other candidates would be more suitable for this role.

69
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 6: And we spoke about this in July, didn't we. And

70
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 6: I wrote a column saying that if you know Kevin

71
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 6: Rubb was serious about building and maintaining a strong relationship

72
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 6: with the US, he should resign his position. And I

73
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 6: haven't changed my mind from that because clearly he's not

74
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 6: going to be fired, is he.

75
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: Well, Lisa, Kevin Rud's always for Kevin Rudd. I think

76
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: that much is pretty clear to me anyway what he

77
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: has said. There's been plenty of people who have said

78
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 2: unkind things about Donald Trump, unwise things about Donald Trump,

79
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: but Kevin took it one step further. And I do

80
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: wonder whether the Prime Minister and his government are worried

81
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 2: about what Kevin Rudd will say if they do remove him,

82
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 2: If is he going to go on another rampage posting

83
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 2: all sorts of things on Twitter and on his other platforms.

84
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 2: We'll read it.

85
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 10: Firstly, I think we were all expecting to have the

86
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 10: popcorn because we thought it would be Albanesi that we

87
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 10: were sitting here and shaking our heads out and possibly

88
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 10: laughing at But the tables were turned and it ended

89
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 10: up being rudded. So that's where we were sitting eating

90
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 10: our popcorn. But look, what it all proved is that

91
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 10: you can't take Donald Trump as a village idiot, and

92
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 10: I think that is.

93
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 2: What Rada did.

94
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 10: He was absolutely humiliated there. But then today we've seen

95
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 10: that Albanezi come out and defend him. As you said,

96
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,679
Speaker 10: you played the clip from Penny Wong. What they're painting

97
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 10: this as now in their damage control is that Kevin

98
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 10: Rudd is somehow the hero. Kevin Rudd is the person

99
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 10: who has made all of these announcements, it's all of

100
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 10: his success. So my question is, by the time Albanese's

101
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 10: feet land back in Australia, how do they then spin

102
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 10: that so that he is the hero because they want

103
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 10: him to be the person who had the great relationship

104
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 10: with Trump, who made aucas happen, who made the critical

105
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 10: minerals deal happen. But at the moment they're trying to

106
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 10: protect Rudd and say he's a success story.

107
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: So I think there's a lot of.

108
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 10: Messaging and spinning to happen behind the scenes to try

109
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 10: to repair this, and I think he's as safe as houses.

110
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: Well, again, it's all about Kevin, instead of focusing on

111
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 2: this deal like yek you're said, instead of focusing on

112
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: the Prime Minister and the relationship is rebuilding with the

113
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 2: Trump administration, We're all talking about Kevin, and surely that

114
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 2: is not good for either the Albanesi government or for

115
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 2: the country. So I'm surprised for the good of the

116
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 2: for the good of the government, he isn't stepping down.

117
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: Surely he knows his position. There is an issue. Now,

118
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 2: let's talk about local issues here in Victoria. There's been

119
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 2: some polling done by the Institute of Public Affairs and

120
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 2: it shows only thirty seven percent of Victorians support the

121
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 2: Allen Labor government's indigenous treaty, forty two percent say they

122
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 2: oppose it, and we've got twenty one percent who are

123
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 2: still undecided. Lisa, the fact that you've got twenty one

124
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 2: percent undecided, I think is an indictment on the media,

125
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 2: but even more so it's an indictment on the Liberal

126
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: Party not leaned into this issue. It is an enormous

127
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 2: issue the scope of this legislation is huge, and yet

128
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 2: the Lips seemed to be running scared. Yeah, I was surprised.

129
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 10: It was last month when this was first announced, and

130
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 10: on that night I watched both the opposition leader and

131
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,119
Speaker 10: the Aberdeal affairs spokesperson for the Liberal Party here on sky,

132
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 10: and neither of them, when their feet were held to

133
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 10: the fire, could come out hard and say they were

134
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 10: against this treaty. That they could come out and say

135
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 10: this is what the Liberal Party will do. And I

136
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 10: think that is what they're lacking across many different policy

137
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 10: areas in Victoria. They're not offering up an opposition at all.

138
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 10: And now nearly five six weeks later, they finally come

139
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 10: out and said, well, it's not that we'll repeal the treaty,

140
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 10: but we will then put in our own advisory body

141
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 10: or advisory council or whatever nice word they've put around it.

142
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 10: So they're not saying, no, we are not going to

143
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 10: divide and be divisive in Victoria. They're saying they're still

144
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 10: going to cowtail down and push ahead with some sort

145
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 10: of indigenous group. When you've got what fifty eight percent,

146
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 10: I think of fifty five percent of Victorians said no

147
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 10: to the voice, So I'm not surprised by those figures.

148
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: Yep.

149
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 2: Victorians didn't vote for a state based voice or a

150
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 2: state based treaty, Luise, but we've got one. It's going

151
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 2: to be enormously costly, but even more importantly than that,

152
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: it's going to be enormously divisive and the powers it has,

153
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 2: the influence it will have. Again, Victorians didn't vote for that,

154
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 2: and we need the Liberals to actually give people a choice.

155
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 2: We need them to stand up and fight these consequential issues.

156
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,719
Speaker 6: Yes we do. You're absolutely right. And the figure being

157
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 6: managed around is what's seventy million dollars and what is

158
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 6: that for? To create another bureocracy, I mean, which we

159
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 6: clearly don't need.

160
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 2: And moreover, Cinderella.

161
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 6: Needs to focus on one thing Victoria, Law and order.

162
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 6: That's the only thing people are talking about, and the

163
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 6: only thing residents are really concerned about. They don't want

164
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 6: a treaty, they don't want any sort of legislation which

165
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 6: is sort of dressed up as a Voice two point zero,

166
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 6: and they don't feel that even Aboriginal Australians don't feel

167
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 6: this is a good plan for Victoria. So while she's

168
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 6: pushing ahead with it blindly is an absolute mystery to

169
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 6: me when there are so many critical things she could

170
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 6: be focused on.

171
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 2: Now it's been revealed that the woman accused of the

172
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: horror stabbing of sushi shep Wan Lee in Melbourne, CBD,

173
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: is facing almost sixty criminal charges and including failing to

174
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 2: comply with sex offender reporting obligations and breaching bail conditions.

175
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 2: They accuse. Lauren Durrell front at court yesterday where her

176
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 2: lawyers told the magistrate that her bid to be let

177
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 2: out on bail yet again had been withdrawn. Oh Lisa,

178
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 2: she acted bizarrely in court. Reporters said they were disturbed

179
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 2: by her antics and I've got to say, I, for one,

180
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 2: I'm thankful she didn't apply for bail again.

181
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 10: But you're not surprised that they were going to apply

182
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 10: for Bailey gain and then defense decided a, actually, you

183
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 10: know what, we should probably withdraw that. So you would

184
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 10: think that before they even got to that point, they

185
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 10: would say, look, she is not somebody who is considered

186
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 10: to be an acceptable risk to be out in society.

187
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 10: That was where they failed the first time and the

188
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 10: time before that, in the time before that. But it's

189
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 10: no surprise to me that she sat there smirking and

190
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 10: smiling and playing along to the camera.

191
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 2: That was being beamed into the court. Because why on

192
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: earth would she have any.

193
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 10: Respect for the court room when the judiciary system has

194
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 10: just been putting her back out there. She's on this

195
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 10: revolving door that we see so often in Victoria and

196
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 10: in other parts of this country.

197
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: She has no.

198
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 10: Respect for the court, she has no respect for the process.

199
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 10: The only good news is that she is now in

200
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 10: a cell in maximum security now.

201
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 2: Victorian Premier is Into Alan lashed out at Queensland Premier

202
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 2: David Chris of Fully after he said his state offers

203
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 2: Victorian's a place where they won't get stabbed. He was

204
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: obviously referring to that particular case. Just Into Alan was

205
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 2: not impressed.

206
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 9: But I'll tell you another thing I can offer if

207
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 9: they live in Melbourne, they've got a place in stealing

208
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 9: with youth crime.

209
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 7: I won't get stabbed, Premier.

210
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 2: That anyone gets his pre cline.

211
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 10: Well, it was an incredibly poor taste attempt at a joke,

212
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 10: and I know to the Queensland Premier has apologized as

213
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 10: is appropriate.

214
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: It's a little bit rich from Justin to Alan Lloy's

215
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 2: and I don't know why David grizz A fully apologized.

216
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 2: What he said wasn't so much a joke as something

217
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: that actually had plenty of truth in it.

218
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 6: Absolutely, and it's whatever Australians thinking and for her to

219
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 6: sort of focus on the apology rather than the issue

220
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 6: at hand law and order in Victoria. And I think

221
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 6: that what's in poor taste is the fact that people

222
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 6: in Victoria, particularly in Melbourne, are thinking is it Burk

223
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 6: Street Moore or is it the bronx that don't feel

224
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 6: safe to walk around the city at night and don't

225
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 6: feel safe going to work in the morning as we've

226
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 6: seen with that poor chef who got stabbed. So again,

227
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 6: it's all the smoking Maror's distraction that de Cinta Bellen

228
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 6: comes out with rather than addressing the issue at hand.

229
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 6: And I agree he should not have apologized.

230
00:11:55,240 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 2: For that, or no, he shouldn't have. Lisa is going

231
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 2: to be a huge issue leading up to the state

232
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 2: election here. Tough law and order policies, having bail conditions

233
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 2: tightened even further. Youth crime is a significant issue here.

234
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 2: It was a big issue in Queensland. But the Chris

235
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 2: of Fully government actually brought in some fairly dramatic changes

236
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 2: adult Crimes adult Time, and it's had quite an impact.

237
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 10: Yeah, you're right. Instead of just sent to Alan trying

238
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 10: to gain some political mileage out of this over Chrysophil,

239
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 10: you know what you should do, should actually pick up

240
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 10: the phone and say, hey, David, I actually need some

241
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 10: help down here. Melbourne is helen a handbasket at the moment.

242
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 10: You've managed to turn youth crime around. I just looked

243
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 10: at the most recent figures and it's down serial repeat

244
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 10: youth offenders. The numbers down seventeen point five percent, I

245
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 10: think it is, and if you look at areas on

246
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 10: the Sunshine Coast now around thirty six percent. So you're right, reader.

247
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 10: You put in adult crime adult time. He showed that

248
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 10: the government was serious about it. Thankfully, the courts seemed

249
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 10: to be doing their job and following along and putting

250
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 10: these people behind bars as opposed to on this book,

251
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 10: which I was saying before this revolving door. So she

252
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 10: should just be calling him and saying, you have started

253
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 10: to fix this problem, how do we get it?

254
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 8: How do we help.

255
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 2: Absolutely and he's done it with about ten months. So

256
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 2: he only put these policies in place. I think it

257
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 2: was December last year, and already the crime stats they

258
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 2: came out a couple of weeks ago show a dramatic

259
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 2: reduction in the number of victims of youth crime. So

260
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 2: there's around I think ten thousand Queenslanders less in this

261
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 2: ten months compared to last year, who are not been victimized,

262
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: who have not become a crime statistic Lloyd's Roberts Lisa

263
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 2: got thank you so much for your time tonight. Now

264
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: Brittany Higgins has dropped her defamation appeal against former Liberal

265
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 2: minister Linda Reynolds. Higgins had filed the appeal in the

266
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 2: West Australian Supreme Court a month ago on the last

267
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 2: stay she was legally able to do so. She had

268
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 2: attempted to ward off a three hundred forty thousand dollars

269
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: damages award in addition to legal costs which could reach,

270
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 2: perhaps even surpass two million dollars. Joining me now is

271
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 2: Legal Affairs contribute out the Australian newspaper Chris Merit Chris.

272
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 2: There have not been too many winners out of this

273
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: political legal saga, but there have certainly been plenty of losers.

274
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 11: So lovely, I must say, the fact that this chapter

275
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 11: has drawn to a close will be great news for

276
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 11: Linda Reynolds who suffered a measurable damage health damage, mental

277
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 11: health damage, and career wise.

278
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 3: The fact that this chapter is over as good. But

279
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 3: this entire saga has still got a long way to run.

280
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 3: We're still waiting, for example, for the verdict in the

281
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 3: appeal by Bruce Lherman in his successful defamation case which

282
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 3: determined that on the balance civil balance, that he did

283
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 3: in fact rape Miss Higgins.

284
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 7: So we're still waiting on that appeal at count and

285
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 7: Fianna Brown, the woman who was really suffered a measurable damage. Look,

286
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 7: she's lodged compensation proceedings with the Commonwealth, which look as

287
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 7: though they're going to finish up in the Federal court.

288
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 7: Just compare this.

289
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 5: To the one day mediation which led to Britney Higgins

290
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 5: getting a two point four million dollars in proceedings that

291
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 5: were infected, according to Justice Leer the Federal Court by untruths.

292
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 7: So that we've got those two things that have still

293
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 7: got a long way to go. But at least Linda

294
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 7: Reynolds is moving slowly towards getting some compensation. It'll depend

295
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 7: on the outcome of bankruptcy proceedings. I think against Higgins

296
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 7: and Charraz, her husband, but the will to turning.

297
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 2: You're right about Linda Reynolds and staff for Fiona Brown.

298
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 2: They've both been vindicated, but they have paid a heavy price.

299
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 2: Linda Reynolds has spoken about spending millions on her legal defense,

300
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 2: and she's probably going to be out of pocket because

301
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 2: how much money is there left for Britney Higgins to

302
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 2: pay Linda Reynolds. Is she even going to be able

303
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 2: to cover the damages, let alone the legal costs.

304
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 12: I suspect you you're right, But in terms of fairness,

305
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 12: at least the people responsible for causing the damage to

306
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 12: Linda Reynolds will be made to divest themselves of the

307
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 12: gains that they that they made, that Higgins made anyway.

308
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 7: As a result of the full sect or the defamatory

309
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 7: and full accusations they made against her. So in terms

310
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 7: of justice, we're getting close to ads outcome. In terms

311
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 7: of financial recompense, you're right. I think Linda Reynolds will

312
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 7: never be fully financially compensated, but she couldn't sit on

313
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 7: her hands and allow the continuing campaign of defamation to

314
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 7: proceed so she had to do something about it. It's

315
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 7: incredible when you think about it. Chiraz and Higgins desisted

316
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 7: from their social media campaign against Linda Renolds. There would

317
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 7: have been no defamation proceedings. Higgins would have still had

318
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 7: the two point four million dollars, there wouldn't be bankruptcy proceedings,

319
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 7: and they'd probably still have a nice little house in

320
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 7: the south of France, which.

321
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 2: They sold at a loss about a year after purchasing it.

322
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 2: Now to another issue, Senator just into Nampa gym for

323
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 2: Price is being sued in the federal court over a

324
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 2: media release or office distributed in July last year. It

325
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 2: claimed Central Land Council Chief Executive Leslie Turner lost the

326
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 2: support of his counselors and was no longer fit to

327
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 2: serve as CEO.

328
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: Center.

329
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 2: Price is defending the case on the grounds of qualified privilege,

330
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 2: arguing her media release was in the public interest, but

331
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 2: Chris Leslie Turner says Senator Price's comments were untrue and

332
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 2: harmed his reputation. How unusual is it to have a

333
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 2: sitting politician sued like this?

334
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 12: That's not unheard of, But most sitting politicians, when they

335
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 12: want to say something even slightly contentious will take advantage

336
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 12: of parliamentary privilege. The problem for Senator Price here is

337
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 12: that it looks as though she made the mistake of

338
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 12: relying on somebody else's press release. This is all about

339
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 12: an internal dispute in the Central Land Council. One of

340
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 12: the parties issued a press release. Senator Price appears to

341
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 12: have relied on that and issued her own press release,

342
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 12: not making a she didn't make a statement in parliament

343
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,719
Speaker 12: a privilege forum. So now it looks as though what

344
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 12: she's got to do under the defense of qualified privileges

345
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 12: is argue that this was a reasonable thing for her

346
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 12: to do, that it was reasonable for her to rely

347
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 12: on the veracity of this press release. The counter argument,

348
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 12: which will be familiar to everybody in the media, is

349
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 12: that she didn't check her facts. That's the argument from

350
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 12: the other side, that she should have ecked every ence

351
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 12: and every verb and every noun before she issued her

352
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 12: own press release. But it's the bottom line here for

353
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 12: politicians used parliamentary privilege, it's there for a purpose.

354
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 2: Yep, take advantage of it. Chris Merritt, thank you so

355
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 2: much for her time tonight. Still to calm the Left

356
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 2: is losing it. Pass all the latest US news and

357
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 2: learning what Americans made of our politicians and media packs. C. J.

358
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 2: Pearson is up next. You're watching the Reader Panekey Show,

359
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 2: and it's time for Left. He's losing it and the

360
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 2: celebrity class continue to make ask clowns of themselves. It

361
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 2: really is an epidemic, and Martin Sheen seems extra keen

362
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 2: to elevate himself to the top of the pile with

363
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 2: this asinine contribution.

364
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 13: So the big guy in the White House, if he

365
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 13: would take some personal advice. You've got to realize, sir,

366
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 13: that you are the biggest nothing in the world. And Sarah,

367
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 13: you stop there, You stop listening to all these people

368
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 13: around you, these sycophants.

369
00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 2: Sickophant Martin. You mean, like this loopy lady side you

370
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 2: at MISSNBC anchor Nicole Wallace be clowning herself, laughing along

371
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,719
Speaker 2: to your sad little attack. You know, it's clear listening

372
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 2: to this rant from Martin Sheen that he should never

373
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 2: ever speak in public without the aid of scriptwriters. He

374
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 2: was quite erudite when he was playing the US President

375
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 2: in the West Wing, but left to his own devices

376
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 2: and meager brain power. He comes out with this.

377
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,959
Speaker 13: Who are encouraging you to be your non human self?

378
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 13: Get in touch with that humanity. Stop fussing with your

379
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 13: hair and don't worry about your card and stand up

380
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 13: straight and speak clearly, not from your throat, speak from

381
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 13: your heart, and start being human. That's what you were

382
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:47,719
Speaker 13: made for, not golf. So there you are, mister president.

383
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 7: We'd all due.

384
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 14: Respects to.

385
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 2: Listen to Nicole Wallace. Cackle likes some deranged witch there.

386
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 2: So Trump is not human and he should stop playing golf.

387
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 2: Profound words there from Martin Sheen. Now wonder The MSNBC

388
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 2: anchor was beside herself with excitement. I mean, imagine how

389
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 2: fringe dwelling left you have become when teds sufferer Charlemagne

390
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 2: is calling you out.

391
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 7: I'll never forget when MSNBC did that to me.

392
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 5: MSNBC said I was running, I was repeating Maga messaging.

393
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 14: I was like, damn, that means that y'all really are

394
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 14: not paying attention to your constituents.

395
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 2: Now to another once great of Hollywood, who has shown

396
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 2: himself to be a seriously unwealth individual in need of

397
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 2: some professional help. Here is Robert de Niro, losing the

398
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 2: plot again and calling a proud Jewish man a Nazi,

399
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 2: among other things.

400
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,959
Speaker 4: He will not he we see it, we see it,

401
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 4: we see it every we see it all the time.

402
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 7: He will not want to leave.

403
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: He set it up with his.

404
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 4: I guess he's the gabbles of the of the Cabinet,

405
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 4: Stephen Miller.

406
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 7: He's he's a Nazi, Yes he is, and he's Jewish.

407
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 7: He should be ashamed of himself.

408
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 2: The only one who should be ashamed of himself is

409
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 2: that you, Robert de Niro. But you are so ushually

410
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 2: broken and bitter and so full of hate and bile

411
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 2: that you have lost sight of just how to range.

412
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 2: You have becoming really is rather sad. Talking about sad,

413
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 2: let's check in with actress and alleged comedian Margaret Cho

414
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 2: who had this to say about best selling author Jack Rowling.

415
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 2: Shut up, JK.

416
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 15: Rowling, shut up.

417
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 2: You're a joke.

418
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 15: That's why your name is JK. Because you are a joke.

419
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 15: You're anti trans rhetoric.

420
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 2: Makes me sick.

421
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: You are despicable.

422
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 15: I hope that when you face menopause you have to

423
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 15: take a lot of gender affirming care, as I do,

424
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 15: and when you're taking these hormones. They make your pubes

425
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 15: grow out so thick and hard, it's.

426
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 2: Like steel wool. Gosh, where does one start there? I

427
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 2: think you should keep details of your private issues yourself, Margaret,

428
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 2: don't think that is a widespread problem. And Jackie Rowling

429
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 2: is sixty years old, she probably has already gone through menopause.

430
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 2: And good of you to mention menopause. You know who

431
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 2: doesn't go through that? Men pretending to be women because

432
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 2: they're still men. Now, just when you think the leftist

433
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 2: mastery media cannot sink any lower, along comes MSNBC. Listen

434
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 2: to this vile, vile woman claim that JD. Vance doesn't

435
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 2: really love or protect his own family, his own wife

436
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 2: and children.

437
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 16: He is married to a woman of Indian descent, he

438
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 16: has mixed race children. So to all of the MAGA

439
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 16: voters out there, if this man will not defend his

440
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 16: wife and will not defend his kids, do you think

441
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 16: he gives a crap about you or anything to do

442
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 16: with you.

443
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 2: That was the contemptible Jennifer Welch on the Lunatic Asylum

444
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 2: masquerading as a news network at MISNBC. And Welch, what

445
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 2: an awful name that is? Well, she had more to

446
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 2: say about race. Listen to this diatrict.

447
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 16: I'm a white woman that has lived in a red

448
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 16: state my entire life, and I can tell you when

449
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 16: I'm around white people, they test the racist water they

450
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 16: tested on people like you all all the time, and

451
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 16: they'll try to say off color things. I put my

452
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 16: hand up. It absolutely happens, and you're fortunate that maybe

453
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 16: you're having a differentiation.

454
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 2: And it's time for a CNN trigger warning because they

455
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 2: again had some sobering news for their permanently outraged audience.

456
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 2: The Schumer's shutdown is not hurting Donald Trump. Take it away, Harry.

457
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 17: In twenty eighteen slash twenty nineteen, Donald Trump's not approparating

458
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 17: was already falling. The shutdown was eating and it was

459
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 17: popular support. It was down three points already at this

460
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 17: particular point and would fall considerably more. It was very

461
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 17: much on the decline. You come over to this side

462
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 17: of the screen. This shutdown hasn't eaten and the Donald

463
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 17: Trump support it all. Isn't that a prole rating is

464
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 17: actually the upper point in terms of in terms of

465
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 17: his popular support. So the bottom line is this the

466
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 17: first shutdown during Trump's first term twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen

467
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 17: was hurting Donald Trump.

468
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: This one is not hurting him at all.

469
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 2: No, the shutdown is not hurting the president in the polls,

470
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 2: and that's because most people don't blame him for the shutdown,

471
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 2: despite the best efforts of the media.

472
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 17: Blame Trump for the shutdown A great deal. In twenty

473
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 17: eighteen slash twenty nineteen, sixty one percent, more than three

474
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 17: and five Americans blame Trump a great deal for that

475
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 17: particular shutdown. You come over to this side of the screen,

476
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 17: look at this. It's a different world. It's a different world.

477
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 17: Forty eight percent of Americans blame Trump a great deal

478
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 17: for this particular shutdown.

479
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: So it's more than three and five. Back in twenty eighteen.

480
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 17: Slash twenty nineteen, it's less than half a drop of

481
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 17: thirteen points. Again, it's no real wonder that Donald Trump

482
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 17: at this point, looking at the shutdown, says, you know what,

483
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 17: it's not actually harming me politically, in large part because

484
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 17: he's getting less of the blame.

485
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 2: Let's bring in political advisor and commentator Cjpeerce and CJ.

486
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 2: The shutdown in term two is being seen differently by voters.

487
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 2: But then again, so much of this second term is

488
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 2: dramatically different to what we saw in term one.

489
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 18: You know, you're exactly right, and the American people are

490
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 18: seeing through the bs the Democrats are spewing. They know

491
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 18: that Chuck Schumer and his colleagues own this shutdown.

492
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: They know that the.

493
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 18: Reason there our military service members are not getting paid

494
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 18: is because of Chuck Schumer and the Democrat Party being

495
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 18: held hostage by the progressive left wing. President Trump has

496
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 18: done everything he can do to reopen this government. There

497
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 18: have been vote after vote the United States Senate to

498
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 18: reopen this government, to fully fund its programs, to fully

499
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 18: fund the men and women who work in our federal government,

500
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 18: many of them public servants, and the Democrats have stood

501
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 18: in the way of that.

502
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: So no, the American.

503
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 18: People are smaller than the Democrats believe them to be,

504
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 18: and they know that this is a Democrat shutdown and

505
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 18: President Trump has nothing to do with it.

506
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 5: Now.

507
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:02,479
Speaker 2: On Monday, applied footage of this hideous woman mocking Charlie

508
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: Kirk's murder. This happened at a No King's protest. Just

509
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 2: a vile, vile piece of work, and sadly, CJ she

510
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 2: is a teacher. Those early reports were accurate. That thing

511
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 2: is teaching young children. That's Lucy Martinez, teacher at Nathan

512
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 2: Hale Elementary School, CJ Elementary School, you know. And the

513
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 2: sad thing is, and Jesse Kelly's talked about this. As

514
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 2: soon as I saw that footage, I thought, I bet

515
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 2: you that's a teacher. And it's sad that I think that,

516
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 2: But it's just happened too many times. Whenever I see

517
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 2: footage like this of someone behaving in some reprehensible manner,

518
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 2: you think, is it a public servant or a teacher?

519
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 2: Too often it's precisely.

520
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: That You're right.

521
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 18: It's disgusting and vile in a truly alarming pottern like

522
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 18: these are the people that are, you know, leading the

523
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 18: future generation of leaders here in America. And imagine if

524
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 18: this is what she able to do in public, imagine

525
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 18: what she's doing in the privacy of a classroom. It's

526
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 18: truly truly alarming, and I hope that the school district

527
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 18: takes immediate action to terminate her employment. And that's not

528
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 18: canceled culture. That's called consequence culture. And free speech is

529
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 18: free in America, but you are not free from the

530
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 18: consequence of those actions, and that you know is just

531
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 18: beyond the pale.

532
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable to see.

533
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 18: But I think that this entire episode, following the death

534
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 18: of Charlie Kirker's exposed a very very real problem that

535
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 18: we've already talked about a lot, actually in higher education,

536
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 18: but now we see clear eyed and we can no

537
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 18: longer ignore there is a deep, deep sickness and higher

538
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 18: education in this country, but also too in the teaching

539
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 18: colleges and the teacher schools that are actually you know,

540
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 18: giving you know, the these teachers their educations. And so

541
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 18: I'm not surprised. I am disgusted, but surprised, not at all.

542
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 2: And what did you make of the no Kings protest

543
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 2: across the country? Huge numbers took part. Do you think

544
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 2: they have any impact in can vincing undecided voters or

545
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 2: independent voters or is it the rusted on Democrats TDS

546
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 2: sufferers who have taken to the streets again, you.

547
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,239
Speaker 18: Know readA I'm going to have to remember when you know,

548
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 18: those in the left would accuse me of being a

549
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 18: member of the Party of old white guys. But it

550
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 18: seems as if there must be some role reversal here

551
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 18: these days, because all I saw at these protests were

552
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 18: elderly white people who were probably out in the streets

553
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 18: living out their hippie days just a few decades ago.

554
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 18: And so it seems to be the case that a

555
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 18: lot of young people are starting to see through the

556
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 18: bs of the left. They're coming over to our side.

557
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 18: A lot of black people are, you know, obviously seeing

558
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 18: through the bs of the left. They're coming to our side.

559
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 18: And this is the best. They have a lot of

560
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 18: delusional people who are just shouting at the sky and

561
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 18: are saying, get off my lawn. But you know, no

562
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 18: one's actually paying them any mind, because you want to

563
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 18: know the deal here. And it's actually really interesting to me.

564
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 18: If you can protest and engage in a no king's rally,

565
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 18: you don't have a king. It is not rocket science.

566
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 18: Tried doing that in North Korea. Tried youba, and see

567
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 18: what happens. These people are so delusional and they need

568
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 18: to be medicated. They need to be medicated. I hate

569
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 18: given a big form of money, but these people need

570
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 18: to be medicated.

571
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 2: I think we need to make asylums great again, reopen

572
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 2: the asylums, in fact, reopen all of them. Uh Now,

573
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 2: this week our Prime Minister Anthony ALBERNIZI finally got a

574
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 2: face to face meeting with the president, and that meant

575
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 2: Americans were treated to members of the Australian media. Here,

576
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 2: I are a couple of examples.

577
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: Where do you come are from Australia?

578
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 14: Who are you?

579
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: Sidney Morning Herald?

580
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 14: Wow? N go ahead?

581
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, I'm just kind to ask questions.

582
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 2: And here is the second example. This cringe worthy question

583
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 2: had social media ablaze. You have meet in your power,

584
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 2: the most powerful man on earth. Why don't you just

585
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 2: enable Ukraine to finish this for tomorrow?

586
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 17: Well, if you knew anything about what you were talking about,

587
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 17: you'd be able.

588
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: You do.

589
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 3: I don't.

590
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: I don't think you do. Really, I don't think you

591
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: do it because it's a little more complicated than that.

592
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: But it sounds easy. We're in the process of trying

593
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: to make a deal. If we make a deal, that's great.

594
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 14: If we don't make a deal, it'll be uh, A

595
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 14: lot of people are going to be paying a big price.

596
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 2: Oh dear, so rude, embarrassingly ignorant question. If you didn't

597
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 2: call it that stage, Hi, what did you make of it?

598
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 18: Well, the first thing I made it is that we

599
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 18: needed you in that press conference, actually to ask some

600
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 18: real questions that people actually give a damn about. And

601
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 18: maybe you could teach your colleagues a little you know

602
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 18: thing or two about foreign policy. President Trump has an

603
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 18: incredible record to stand on when it comes to leadership

604
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 18: on the on the world stage. Look at just what

605
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 18: happened just a few weeks ago as it relates to

606
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 18: Palestine in Israel conflict. This is a man who has

607
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 18: made himself the president of peace and will continue to

608
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 18: pursue that all across the world. You know, if I'm

609
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 18: your putin, respects him. If he doesn't respect him, he

610
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 18: certainly fears him. And Zelenski knows that at the end

611
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 18: of the day that President Trump is who he actually

612
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 18: needs to deal with. And I think that he is

613
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 18: working hard to stay in the President's get graces. Even

614
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 18: show up to the White House in a suit this

615
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 18: past week, and I think that's an indication that he

616
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 18: realizes that's how important in his relationship with President Trump

617
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 18: is going to be. And so, you know, the media

618
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 18: can do what they do and commentate and you know,

619
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 18: do whatever they will, but President trub will continue to

620
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 18: lead from the front and not from the back.

621
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: This is no longer the.

622
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 18: Biden White House. This is the Trump White House. Is

623
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 18: the deal maker. This is a peace seeker and that's

624
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 18: exactly what we will get.

625
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 11: Now.

626
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 2: We had this memorable moment when Sky uses Andrew Connell

627
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 2: made the President aware of some of Kevin Rudd's comments

628
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 2: about him over the years, even.

629
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: Things he invests the shit about you in the post.

630
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:52,479
Speaker 1: He's trying to invest in him.

631
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 18: I don't know anything about him, and if he said bad,

632
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 18: then maybe he'll like to apologize.

633
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 14: I really don't know.

634
00:33:58,640 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 9: Did an invest citization?

635
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 1: Don't tell me where is he? Yeah, you said that.

636
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 14: This position.

637
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 1: I don't like you either, and it probably never will

638
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: go ahead.

639
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 2: What I loved most about that was the current Australian

640
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 2: Prime Minister just sitting there laughing at his own ambassador

641
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 2: being humiliated. That was the President's exchange with former Australian

642
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 2: PM and the current ambassador, Kevin Radd. What did Americans

643
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 2: make of that?

644
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 18: I think it would affirm the fact that you know

645
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 18: exactly where you stand with this president at any given time.

646
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 18: He does immense words and so I don't know how.

647
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 18: If the Australians are smart, maybe they'll get rid of

648
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 18: this ambassador pretty soon. It sounds like he may be

649
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 18: on his way out. Prime Minister didn't seem too eager

650
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 18: to offend him in that room yesterday, so I guess

651
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 18: we'll see. Maybe this story is still developing.

652
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, we think then it may be, though the

653
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 2: Prime Minister has today come out and expressed his support

654
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:08,760
Speaker 2: for his ambassador again.

655
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: Now, CJ.

656
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 2: The two allies did sign an agreement to develop supplies

657
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 2: of rare earths and critical minerals. This is going to

658
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 2: be combating China's dominance of that market, and Beijing is

659
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 2: not too happy about that. China is the world's leading

660
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 2: producer of rare ertz and it's in a trade will

661
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 2: with the US right now, CJ.

662
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: You know it is.

663
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 18: But I think this underscores again President Trump's commitment to

664
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 18: America first leadership all throughout the world. And so you know,

665
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 18: we're not here to play kate China. We're not here

666
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 18: to play you know, second fiddle to them. We're going

667
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 18: to continue to lead from the front. And again I

668
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 18: understand why this is. So, you know, I guess just

669
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 18: combiny leading to the Chinese because they dealt with folks

670
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 18: like Joe Biden for four.

671
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 1: Long, long years.

672
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,760
Speaker 18: But there is a new sheriff in town, and President

673
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 18: Trump has made that clear, and he's going to work with,

674
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 18: you know, our global partners all throughout the world to

675
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 18: achieve exactly what he ran on and what the American

676
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 18: people gave him a mandate to achieve in this past

677
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 18: year's election.

678
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 2: Now, sticking with trade and tariffs and the efforts of

679
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 2: the Trump administration to bring manufacturing back to the US,

680
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 2: let's hear from Nvidia's CEO Jensen Hung.

681
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,760
Speaker 1: This last week was a historic week.

682
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 19: We manufactured the most advanced AI chips in the world,

683
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 19: in the most advanced fab in the world here in

684
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 19: America for the first time. All of this started with

685
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 19: President Trump wanted to re industrialize the United States. His

686
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 19: terrorst was a pressing agent in making this possible at

687
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 19: the speed that we're doing, and now just shortly after

688
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 19: less than a year, we're now manufacturing the most advanced

689
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 19: chips for AI here in the United States.

690
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 2: What of the impacts are you seeing from these tariffs?

691
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 2: Has it seen inflation jump up dramatically? Have we seen

692
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 2: some of the consequences the so called experts told us

693
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 2: what was going to happen almost immediately, No.

694
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: We haven't seen that.

695
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 18: But what we have seen is the experts, again, as

696
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 18: you just point out, be disproven yet again. I don't

697
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 18: know why we continue to call these people experts anymore.

698
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 18: I think we need to come up with a new

699
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 18: word for them. I'm inclined to use the word liar,

700
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,879
Speaker 18: but you know, I like to be polite. I'll tell

701
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 18: you what we are seeing as a result of President

702
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 18: Trump's bold economic policy.

703
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: We're seeing record job creation.

704
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 18: We're seeing incredible investments, not just domestically from American companies,

705
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 18: but international country saying I want to bet on America

706
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 18: because America is in good hands under this president. And

707
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 18: of course you hear from incredible business leaders like the

708
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 18: CEO of Navidia and many others who are lauding President

709
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 18: Trump for his leadership on this front. And so, you know,

710
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 18: while the writers of you know, random publications and in

711
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 18: the media who are betting on President Trump's failure, I

712
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 18: actually want to remind them of a quote from President Obama.

713
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 18: To root for the failure of a president is to

714
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 18: root for the country's failure. And so maybe they would

715
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,240
Speaker 18: be wise to I don't know, just hope that President

716
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,919
Speaker 18: Trump knows what he's doing, because if history is any

717
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 18: judge of what lies ahead, I'm pretty confident in his

718
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 18: ability to deliver for the American people in the future

719
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 18: and for many years to come.

720
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 2: Well, I hope you're right, And let's end on some

721
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 2: good news. The woken woeful Cincinnati Police Chief Terry Thiji

722
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 2: has been placed on administrative leave and there's going to

723
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:31,280
Speaker 2: be an eternal investigation on the effectiveness of her leadership

724
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 2: in the Cincinnati Police Department. She of course, came to

725
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 2: national prominence after a number of white people were bashed

726
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 2: in what is alleged to be race based hate crimes. Essentially,

727
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 2: the footage was absolutely shocking, and yet the police chief

728
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,280
Speaker 2: had this to say about it.

729
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 8: Social media and journalism and the role it plays in

730
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 8: this incident.

731
00:38:55,960 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: And yes, guys, that's you. That is you social media.

732
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:09,280
Speaker 8: The post that we've seen does not depict the entire incident, talk.

733
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 2: About shooting the messenger, see Jay. She just seemed to

734
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 2: be more upset about these clips going viral and some

735
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 2: attention being brought to these horrendous crimes acts of violence.

736
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 2: Then the fact that that actually happened and you had

737
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 2: mobs of people attacking a couple of victims, so we're

738
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 2: left with serious.

739
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: Injuries exactly that.

740
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 18: You know, she's asking us to just completely ignore what

741
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 18: we all just saw with our own two eyes. It's

742
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 18: actually insane to even think about. But this is exactly

743
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 18: why President Trump and so many people on the right

744
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 18: have gone after DEI. You know, these people don't know

745
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 18: how to lead. They did not earn it. That is

746
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 18: actually what DEI should stand for. But beyond that, it's

747
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 18: exactly why President Trump has sent the National Guarden of

748
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 18: many American cities because what I just saw in that

749
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 18: video looks like a third world country that has no

750
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 18: business happening in the States of America. And if folks

751
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 18: like this police chief won't stand up and lead, then

752
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 18: President Trumpell Andtervene and I got to tell you the

753
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 18: people of Cincinnati will welcome it, and I believe the governor,

754
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 18: the Republican governor of Ohio would also welcome it. Because people

755
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 18: want to feel safe, they want to be safe in

756
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 18: their communities. That's not something far fetched to ask for,

757
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 18: not something crazy to demand. It's an expectation, and it's

758
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 18: a very reasonable one. C. J.

759
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 2: Pearson, thank you so much for your time tonight. Thank

760
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:29,439
Speaker 2: you still to comet what the new rare minerals deal

761
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 2: means for Australia. Professor In Primer has the details. Welcome

762
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 2: back joining me now is a steem geologist and author.

763
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 2: Professor Ian primer I. Let's start with the thirteen billion

764
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 2: dollar critical Minerals deal signed by the Prime Minister and

765
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 2: President Donald Trump yesterday. It's highly lucrative deal that is

766
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 2: designed to chatallenge China's dominance of the industry. But in hasn't.

767
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 2: The Albanesi government presided over a decline in Australia's critical

768
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 2: minerals industry, driven largely by soaring energy costs and well

769
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 2: the Albanesi government's obsession with net zero.

770
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:22,280
Speaker 14: Well, the Albanzi government is anti mining, anti cheap energy,

771
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:27,760
Speaker 14: and anti farmers, and this has come across very quickly.

772
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 14: The world needs rare earth elements. The mining and processing

773
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 14: of rare earth elements is controlled by China, and these

774
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 14: are strategic military and electronic metal and President Trump wants

775
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 14: to take it out of China's hands. Now. One of

776
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 14: the best places in the world to find rare earth elements,

777
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 14: which are not rare, but it's very rare. To have

778
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 14: them concentrated is In Australia, we have an operating mind

779
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 14: a future mine stockpiles of rare earth element minerals from

780
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 14: mineral sand mining, and these need to be processed into

781
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:10,359
Speaker 14: the rare earth element oxides, and there are fifteen of them,

782
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 14: and this is a proprietary process. It's very very slow,

783
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 14: it's very very expensive, and President Trump wants to make

784
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 14: sure that what we have in Australia doesn't get processed

785
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 14: in China. So this is strategically a very very good

786
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 14: move because these rare as elements control military guidance systems,

787
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 14: they control every mobile phone, every microelectronic instrument, everything uses

788
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 14: these rare earth elements. Now, there's about four hundred thousand

789
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 14: tons of rare earth element metals produced every year. That's

790
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,280
Speaker 14: not very much compared with the two point three billion

791
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 14: tons of iron ore that's produced every year, but it's

792
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:52,439
Speaker 14: a lot compared with another strategic metal, say urenium, which

793
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 14: is only seventy five tons a year. And renium is

794
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 14: used in turbine blades of jet fighters that if you

795
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 14: have a little bit of enim in there, he can

796
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 14: spin them much faster and fly the jet faster than

797
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 14: the opposition's jet. So President Trump has telegraphed what he's doing,

798
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 14: change the Ministry of Defense into the Ministry of War.

799
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 14: He is chasing the metals that are needed to run

800
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 14: a military government, and Australia fulfills this role. We have

801
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:24,760
Speaker 14: an outstanding geology for the metals that the military world needs.

802
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 2: Now, how do you see Kevin Rudd's position? Is it

803
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 2: untenable or is he safe now that the deal has

804
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 2: been struck and the Prime Minister has reaffirmed his support.

805
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 14: Well, I think President Trump doesn't forgive lightly. I think

806
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 14: mister Rudd was quite prominent behind the scenes in getting

807
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 14: this deal on rare with elements, but he was dealing

808
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 14: with bureaucrats. He wasn't dealing with the President. And I

809
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 14: think the best thing that mister Rudd can do is

810
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 14: to retire into the grandstand and clap the other players

811
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 14: on the feat. He is a total dead loss for

812
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 14: pushing the interests of Australia while we have this presidency

813
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 14: and probably his administration after the next election.

814
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 2: Now. Janet Orbrickson has written in The Australian about Donald

815
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 2: Trump's influence on the ASX following its decision to get

816
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 2: rid of its governance Council, which had been weighed down

817
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:30,959
Speaker 2: by the agendas of vested interests Janet Rights, who said

818
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's takedown of corporate wokedom wouldn't resonate in Australia plenty.

819
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 2: In fact, the latest moves by the Australian Securities Exchange

820
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 2: suggests the Trump effect is alive and kicking here and

821
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 2: this is good news. Any decline in ESG requirements and

822
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 2: obsessions has to be a positive.

823
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: Well, it's great news.

824
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:57,839
Speaker 14: THEX is a small market worldwide, but the AX had

825
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 14: gone terribly work. It's very much anti the junior companies,

826
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 14: especially the junior expiration companies who actually find our avroth elements,

827
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 14: who actually find things which are the big companies develop

828
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,280
Speaker 14: And they have been for a long while attacking small

829
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 14: companies and trying to get them off the register because

830
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 14: they do not fill the woke requirements of the AX.

831
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 14: And a junior company can't do what a big company does,

832
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 14: and they can have a woke department and it doesn't

833
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 14: cost them very much compared with the grand scheme of things,

834
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 14: but a junior company it'll cost them a huge amount

835
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:38,240
Speaker 14: of money. And among them dads investors and small self

836
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:44,359
Speaker 14: managed insurance funds and super agent superannuation funds invest in

837
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 14: the juniors on the AX, and so I think the

838
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 14: AX does have to have a major revision. It's not

839
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,879
Speaker 14: a market where you want to raise capital. You raise

840
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 14: capital elsewhere. The AX lost it ten years ago. I've

841
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 14: been a director of many AX company, They've been the

842
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 14: directive TSX companies and own companies in London. It's a

843
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 14: very very difficult market in Australia compared with elsewhere in

844
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 14: the world, so that to me is wonderful news.

845
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 2: Now the Northern Territory government has announced major energy reforms.

846
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 2: The MID warnings the territory is on the brink of

847
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 2: frequent life threatening blackouts without massive investment in its power grid.

848
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 2: Deputy Chief NT Minister Jared Malee told the NT News

849
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 2: we inherited a system that simply wasn't up to scratch

850
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 2: and in action is a cost we simply cannot afford.

851
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 2: It literally could become deadly vulnerable. People rely on air conditioning,

852
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 2: rely on medical equipment. We need to make sure the

853
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:46,439
Speaker 2: energy system is going to be reliable in can they

854
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 2: turn it around.

855
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,240
Speaker 14: Well, they can turn it around a number of ways.

856
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 14: The NT is a big producer of gas, it's a

857
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 14: big producer of oil. It's not on the Eastern or

858
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 14: West Australian grids. It's isolated. The most important thing is

859
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 14: that most of Australia's uranium that's produced goes through the

860
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:08,240
Speaker 14: Port of Darwin, and that would be the perfect place

861
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 14: for a reactor, using Australian uranium and giving the Northern

862
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 14: territory independence from the rest of the country and generating

863
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 14: excess power. Now you need that in the wet season,

864
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 14: when people go tropo, you need to have good air conditioning.

865
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 14: It's just a horrible climate. In summer time, you just

866
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 14: want to keep out of it. So they have energy,

867
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:31,879
Speaker 14: They have a lot of fossil fuel energy. They don't

868
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 14: have coal, but they certainly have gas and oil and

869
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 14: they could use this if they ignore the absolutely stupid

870
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 14: situation that we put ourselves in this country where we

871
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:44,399
Speaker 14: have cheap, reliable energy which we export and we don't use,

872
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:46,399
Speaker 14: and a lot of that is exported to the Port

873
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 14: of Darwin. So they could do something very quickly.

874
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 2: Now in after years of inaction, how much time will

875
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 2: they need to turn things around.

876
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 14: Well, this inaction is mainly from labor governments and if

877
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 14: they shipped in a gas turbine linked into the gas

878
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 14: hub in Darwin, they can actually have gas driven electricity

879
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:10,319
Speaker 14: by Christmas.

880
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 2: It could be that quick. So some of the states

881
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 2: that we know have got severe energy issues, like including

882
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 2: right here in Victoria, if the government has the will,

883
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 2: you believe they could turn things around that quickly.

884
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 14: As long as there's a federal government or bureaucratic interference,

885
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 14: it could be done before Christmas.

886
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 2: Well, that's good news for state like Victoria, because we've

887
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 2: got an energy crisis on our hands here. Despite the

888
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 2: fact that we sit on rich reserves of gas, we've

889
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 2: got coal, we should not have any sort of energy.

890
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 2: We should, in fact have the cheapest energy anywhere in

891
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 2: the world, and we do not. We have some of

892
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,879
Speaker 2: the most expensive. Professor and plymath, thank you so much

893
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 2: for your time tonight, and that's it from me. Don't

894
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 2: go anywhere. Night is up next. I'll see you at

895
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 2: eleven tomorrow night

896
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:08,359
Speaker 14: M HM.
