Kosher 5 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 2: Gata will be with me shortly to discuss Security experts 6 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 2: warn Australian teenagers may become radicalized due to the conflict 7 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 2: in the Middle East. The panel will weigh in on 8 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,200 Speaker 2: that issue and much more. We will look at some 9 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 2: new research showing the dangers of medicalized transgender treatments. And 10 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 2: we'll also look at the radical socialists who may be 11 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,959 Speaker 2: elected mayor of New York and left He's losing. It 12 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 2: is full of good news tonight, including the musings of 13 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 2: international law expert and view co host Sunny Austin. 14 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 3: I believe this is certainly a clear violation of international 15 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 3: law at the very least. 16 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 2: But first, the conflict in the Middle East has raised 17 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 2: alarm bells about homegrown terrorism on Australian soil. Security experts 18 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 2: have worn vulnerable Australian teenagers are at risk of being 19 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 2: radicalized and becoming gey hardest acting Opposition Foreign Affairs spokesman 20 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 2: Andrew Hasty has also warned about the Iranian regime engaging 21 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 2: in foreign interference. 22 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 4: I think the Kods Force, which is the unconventional special 23 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 4: operations wing of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, very methodical. 24 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 5: Very patient. 25 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 4: There's something we've got to watch very closely. And there's 26 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 4: the reason why Mike Burgess, the Director General of ASIO, 27 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,839 Speaker 4: mentioned the Iranians in his annual threat update, particularly around 28 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 4: foreign interference. 29 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 2: So this is a risk for. 30 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 4: The US particularly, but also allies as well. 31 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 2: Let's bring in the panel. We've got Sky News contributors 32 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 2: Tina McQueen and Prue McSween teena. I'll start with you. 33 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 2: We saw scores of Australian residents travel to the Middle 34 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 2: East to join the Caliphate, to join Islamic State. Do 35 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 2: you think there's any risk this conflict will see the 36 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 2: same thing happen. We'll see young people become radicalized. 37 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 6: Oh, sadly, there is a big risk, greader. You've only 38 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 6: got to look at the protests on the weekend, the 39 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 6: pro Palestine now pro Iranian protests all through the Sydney CBD, 40 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 6: the elevated attacks on the Jewish community community in different areas. 41 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 6: So there's a big risk. I think this has to 42 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 6: be closely monitored in Australia and I'm sure they have 43 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 6: the methods and know how to do that, but that 44 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,239 Speaker 6: is they get so it seem to be excited by 45 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 6: this rita and forget that they're Australians living in Australia. 46 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 6: It's really sad to see and I don't know how 47 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 6: we're going to combat this. 48 00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: Pre and internationally we've already seen incidents. Is that Mixed 49 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 2: State has claimed credit for a terror plot in Syria 50 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 2: where a suicide bomba killed twenty two people at a 51 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 2: Christian church in Damascus over the weekend. We've been so 52 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 2: lucky in this country, really, haven't we prove in that 53 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 2: major terror plots have been foiled before they've been executed. 54 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 2: We may not always be that lucky. 55 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 7: Well that's the problem, you know, and luck shouldn't be 56 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 7: a factor, should it reta? But I just fail to 57 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 7: understand why government hasn't acted on these radical imams who 58 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 7: are poisoning the young minds. That this is the greatest source, 59 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 7: I believe of homegrown terror and we've seen that with 60 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 7: past examples, and we are aware that homegrown terrorism. 61 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 6: Is there, and we have been lucky, but how long will. 62 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 8: That luck last? 63 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 2: Now? The E Safety Commissioner is continuing her push for 64 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 2: greater online shep Are you recall she tried to get 65 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 2: a worldwide ban on that alleged terror attack at a 66 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 2: Christian church in Sydney last year. Well, now she wants 67 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 2: YouTube added to the government's social media ban for under sixteen. 68 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 2: It's a survey by the E Safety Commissioner earlier this 69 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 2: year found that YouTube was the most used platform by 70 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 2: ten to fifteen year olds by a significant margin. And 71 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 2: Julie Inman grant Tina. She's arguing in her speech at 72 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 2: the National Press Club today that around seven to ten 73 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 2: kids report being exposed to harmful online content, such as 74 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 2: what she thinks is misogynistic or hateful material. What's your 75 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 2: take on this issue? 76 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 6: Oh, look, I think, you know, I think I think 77 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 6: some sort of ban would be great for under sixteens, 78 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 6: but it's going to be so difficult to enforce. I 79 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 6: think parents need to take a greater role on this. 80 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 6: There's different apps you can apply so the kids can't 81 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 6: access that. Don't get them the iPhones where they can, 82 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 6: you know, have the ability to go on the net 83 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 6: anywhere anywhere they are. But also, I mean, you've only 84 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 6: got to look at television reader, Netflix, stand even free 85 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 6: to air TV. 86 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 2: There's some disgusting episodes on television. 87 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 6: So you know, it's not just the Internet that is 88 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 6: dangerous for kids. It's everywhere now that we have to 89 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 6: be really, really careful and parents need to take a 90 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 6: stronger approach in really looking closely at what their kids 91 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 6: are looking at, take some responsibility. 92 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 2: Prou I've got to say I disagree. I do not 93 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 2: like this sort of censorship at all. I don't want 94 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 2: the likes of Julie Inman Grant deciding what's hateful material 95 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 2: pro should it be something that is left to parents 96 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 2: or parents really not equipped to deal with this sort 97 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 2: of issue, given the kids are so much better with 98 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 2: tech than than their parents. 99 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 7: Well, I think you know, it's got to be the parents. 100 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 7: I agree that kids can get around anything technical these 101 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 7: days and leave us all for dead. But you know, 102 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 7: I'm sick of kids being cotton wooled and snowflaked, and 103 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 7: that's what we're bringing raising. Sadly, I just always feel 104 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 7: there's a focus on the risk rather than the benefits, 105 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 7: particularly with YouTube, where you know they have education and 106 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 7: health benefits, and it's really strongly supported. I think seventy 107 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 7: nine percent of kids ten to fifteen use it for 108 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 7: those reasons. And you know, when I was a kid, 109 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 7: I used to sneak looking at, you know, the books 110 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 7: that my mother used to wear that were sort of 111 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 7: naughty you're used to read, and you sort of think, well, 112 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 7: you know, this is natural for kids to want to 113 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 7: investigate and explore, and obviously we've got to be careful 114 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 7: that we supervise them. But I just feel very uncomfortable 115 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 7: having governments telling us what we can and look at 116 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 7: and read read it. 117 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 6: There's also a positive aspect to this. I have an 118 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 6: levenyear old grandson that you know, has a slight TikTok 119 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 6: account here, so over half million followers that discuss lunar 120 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 6: parts w you know, it's hysterical. I can't believe he 121 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 6: had more followers than what the Liberal Liberal Party did 122 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 6: during the election. They should have imployed him. But there's 123 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 6: the positives where where it can it can be very 124 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 6: good for kids. 125 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 2: Well, absolutely, and I think it's just foolish to try 126 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 2: to impose these sorts of controls. Sure get rid of 127 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 2: things that are threats things that are explicit materials that 128 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 2: kids should be protected from. But you don't need to 129 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 2: be banning YouTube. The This is how kids consume information 130 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 2: and I just think it's such a counterproductive thing to 131 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 2: be doing. And to have someone ideological lefteris like Julie 132 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 2: Inman Grant making those calls. I mean that is just 133 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 2: alarm bells. Yeah, no, that is that that something. Really 134 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 2: the coalition needs to come out and take a stand, 135 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 2: but sadly they've been really silent on this issue. Let's 136 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 2: talk local government. Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore has announced 137 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 2: that gas appliances will be banned in new homes from 138 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 2: next year. She's also proposing to ban gas from new offices, 139 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 2: hotels and service departments. Tina, she's your local mayor. What 140 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 2: do you make of this policy? Will you be changing 141 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 2: your appliances? 142 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 6: I'd like to ban Clover more, That's what I'd like 143 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 6: to do. Look, I'm no great cook, but I have 144 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 6: friends that are, and they do tell me some dishes 145 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 6: are really impossible to cook. And regulate a control with 146 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,199 Speaker 6: our gas appliances. 147 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 2: I mean, this is crazy. 148 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 6: People should be given the choice. We should not be 149 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 6: dictated by some woman that's been there far too long. 150 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:53,599 Speaker 2: I mean, as soon as she goes. 151 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 9: The better. 152 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 2: H Prue, what do you say to that? I know 153 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 2: it's I mean, can you even put a walk on 154 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 2: an electric cook top? It doesn't make sense. You need 155 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 2: you need the flames. 156 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 7: Of course you do, or they're saying inductions as good. 157 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 7: But first of all, we're going to need electricity to 158 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 7: actually fire up all these ovens and cook tops because 159 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 7: the rate we're going, we're in Fancy's fantasy land with 160 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 7: the renewables, We're not going to have electricity supply that 161 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 7: could even cook a stir for in time. 162 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 2: You know, we've got councils. 163 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 7: Like Clover Moore and Buly's six others are trying to 164 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 7: do it, and seven have already done it. 165 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 2: I mean, get out. 166 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 7: Of our lives, stick to the roads and rates and rubbish, 167 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 7: and you know it's not your jurisdiction. 168 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 2: She's got a large Asian. 169 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 7: Contingency in the city of Sydney who always cook on walks, 170 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 7: so she's she's not going to make herself very popular 171 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 7: in that area. So I just think she's always overstepping 172 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 7: the mark. 173 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 2: God knows why. She's got nothing better to do. 174 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 7: Clearly put her to pasture or something. 175 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 2: Well, the Victorian government, they've got all sorts of statewide 176 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 2: restrictions on gas and they're not particularly popular either, but 177 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 2: they're pressing ahead and they've announced a whole bunch of 178 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 2: new regulations today, particularly for rental properties. Now, I want 179 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 2: to just get your take on what's happening with international travel. 180 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 2: Australians have been worn that they maybe travel chaos in 181 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 2: the peak season due to the Iran Israel conflict, with 182 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 2: flights from Australia to the milease delayed and canceled in 183 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,839 Speaker 2: some cases. Prove that timing couldn't be worse for travelers, 184 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 2: given that many Australians do transit through the Middle East 185 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,479 Speaker 2: to reach Europe. 186 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 7: Well, it wouldn't be me, Reta. I wouldn't risk it 187 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 7: because you can't trust Iran, and that's for sure. They're 188 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 7: talking seats fire, but you just couldn't believe it, So 189 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 7: I would be staying at home, day at home. I've 190 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,359 Speaker 7: got to say, on the upside. 191 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 6: There may be some cheap seats available REDA if. 192 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 2: You're into advention. Seemed to me, yeah, well you would 193 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 2: hope that. But no, it seems with the flight cancelations there. 194 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 2: The scarcity is making the fares even higher during peak season. 195 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 2: So people seem to be pretty bold these days, Tina. 196 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 2: After the COVID lockdowns, people want to get out there 197 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 2: and travel. 198 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 6: That's right, that's right. I mean, you know, anything could 199 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 6: happen anytime in the world. I think, if you've spent 200 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,959 Speaker 6: a lot of money on travel plans, you know, go 201 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 6: for it. Be sensible about it. Look at the government 202 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 6: travel warnings. But you know, if I had a big, 203 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 6: expensive holiday plan, I'd still be going. Look to this day, 204 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 6: I'd still love to be in Israel at this at 205 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 6: this moment. I know it's very dangerous and not a 206 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 6: great place to be, but it's such a fascinating country, Rita, 207 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 6: So if I had a tip to Israel planned, I'd 208 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 6: certainly still be going. 209 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 2: I was there in December, and yeah, there's nowhere else 210 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 2: like it in the world, Tina, and pro thank you 211 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 2: so much for your time tonight. Thanks to America. And 212 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 2: while the Democrats play the role of the Iranian Muller's 213 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 2: useful idiots, railing against the military action and calling for 214 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 2: Donald Trump to be impeached, the president has been busy 215 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 2: securing a seaspire, what he calls a complete and total ceasepire. 216 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 2: Let's hear more on that from Vice President JdE Vance. 217 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 10: What it means, Brett's quite simple. First of all, the President, 218 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 10: without knock on Wood, having a single American casualty, obliterated 219 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 10: the Iranian nuclear program. We are now in a place 220 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 10: where we weren't a week ago. Week ago, Iran was 221 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 10: very close to having a nuclear weapon. Now Iran is 222 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 10: incapable of building a nuclear weapon with the equipment they 223 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 10: have because we destroyed it. So that's a very very 224 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 10: big thing. 225 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 11: Now. 226 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 10: What that means, I think is we have to talk 227 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 10: to Iran and of course to Israel about what the 228 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 10: future holds. Because while we have obliterated the Iranian nuclear program, 229 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 10: our hope and our expectation is that they're not going 230 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 10: to try to rebuild that program. And I think that's 231 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 10: what the President is really trying to figure out here, 232 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 10: is to build a long term settlement here to where 233 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 10: we can have peace in the region, where our regional 234 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 10: allies and of course the American people most importantly can 235 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 10: be secured, but where we can ensure that the destruction 236 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 10: of the Iranian nuclear program that has already happened is 237 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 10: not something they try to rebuild and on that ceasefire. 238 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 2: Earlier today, Donald Trump announced the end of what he 239 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 2: called the twelve Day War. He wrote, congratulations to everyone. 240 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 2: It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and 241 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 2: Iran that there will be a complete and total cease 242 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 2: fire in approximately six hours from now, when Israel and 243 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 2: Iran have wound down and completed their in progress final 244 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 2: missions for twelve hours, at which point the war will 245 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 2: be considered ended. Officially, Iran will start the ceasefire, and 246 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 2: upon the twelfth hour, Israel will start the ceasefire, and 247 00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 2: upon the twenty fourth hour, an official to the twelve 248 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 2: day War will be saluted by the world. During each ceasefire, 249 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 2: the other side will remain peaceful and respectful on the 250 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 2: assumption that everything works as it should, which it will. 251 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 2: I would like to congratulate both countries, Israel and Iran, 252 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 2: on having the stamina, courage, and intelligence to end what 253 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 2: should be called the twelve Day War. This is a 254 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 2: war that could have gone on for years and destroyed 255 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 2: the entire Middle East, but it didn't and never will. 256 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 2: Let's bring in Sky News contributor Kosher Gaeta Kosher What 257 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 2: are the chances that this ceasefire will hold. I'm surprised 258 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 2: it's been agreed to in the first place, but will 259 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 2: it be lasting? 260 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 12: That is a million dollar question on everybody's mind. What 261 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 12: a whirl win seventy two hours this has been from 262 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 12: that first bombing to where we are now, and this 263 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 12: is far on the table. Allegedly the split in the 264 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 12: Trump bes that I think is healing, but the side 265 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 12: that was very strongly opposed to this is for that reason, 266 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 12: And how can we trust this work? What are going 267 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 12: to be the scene and unseen consequences down the road. However, 268 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 12: just as Vice President Vance said over there, they don't 269 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 12: have much to come back from the Ranians, So it 270 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 12: feels difficult to see that they're going to engage in 271 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 12: this kind of kinetic back and forth because they're pretty 272 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 12: much depleted in terms of their leadership, in terms of 273 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 12: their missiles and everything else. Could they do other things 274 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 12: like sleeper cells and things like that over the long term. 275 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 12: Possibly that is still a worry, But as of now, 276 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 12: I think we're sitting in a pretty good place where 277 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 12: their nuclear capability has been annihilated, their leadership has gone. 278 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 12: Boots on the ground gone, other long range missiles depleted, 279 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 12: and conversely, we don't have American troops on the ground. 280 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 12: We're not getting sucked into forever wars. We're not going 281 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 12: into this regime change fantasy which many were pushing as well. 282 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 12: So he seems to have thread the needle quite well. 283 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 5: Well. 284 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 2: That seems to be a pretty good point, isn't it. 285 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 2: It's one thing to have the stealth bombers with the 286 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 2: secret mission, but to have boots on the ground is 287 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 2: I think something that many Americans from both sides of 288 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 2: politicus would be dead set against. 289 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 12: One hundred percent. And Trump was That's the thing that 290 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 12: gave some people pause or concerned that we doesn't want that. 291 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 12: There is something called incrementalism, and you take one action, 292 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 12: does it lead to the slippery slope? But he is 293 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 12: very strongly against that. The American people are very weary 294 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 12: after twenty five years of a failed adventure in the 295 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 12: Middle East to little to noah veil, and I think 296 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 12: that's dead un arrival. 297 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 2: Now, what do you make of the manner in which 298 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 2: the Australian government has handled this matter? And the Albin 299 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 2: Easy has belatedly expressed support for Donald Trump's strikes on 300 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 2: Iran's nuclear program, but that came after Foreign Minister Penny 301 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 2: One called for de escalation before the strikes. It's all 302 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 2: very confusing. I don't know how that can be very 303 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 2: supportive when just before the strikes that were calling for 304 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 2: de escalation. This is isolate us a little bit more 305 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 2: that surely the US and Israel can't be particularly happy 306 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 2: with Australia at this point. 307 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 12: When I look at the timing and manner of the 308 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 12: statements that are coming out of the Albanese administration, it 309 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 12: just comes across as playing a very very safe, very 310 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 12: focused grouped almost when they're looking at different factions in 311 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,640 Speaker 12: their party back home. And this was a controversial move, 312 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 12: there's no question, and by in large we all wanted 313 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 12: to prevent escalation. So I understand where they're coming from 314 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 12: with having some of those statements out there, But the 315 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 12: way they come across is just too safe, too little, 316 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 12: too much juniversity and not playing in the big leagues 317 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 12: or representing Australia kind of at the big boys table. 318 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 12: It sort of looks like they'ret the kids' table. 319 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 2: It seems very much amateur hour with sort of antiques. 320 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 2: It's not something where their statements seem to be useful 321 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 2: to the country. Surely, what we want to be doing, 322 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 2: if we want to have any sort of input, would 323 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 2: be to be in a better position at the end 324 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 2: of this operation than beforehand. And I think we've just 325 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 2: given the Americans more reason to doubt where we stand, 326 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 2: especially given the reluctance to increased defense spending as has 327 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 2: been requested by the Trump administration. 328 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 12: Reluctant to do that. The optics of being snubbed at 329 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 12: the G seven, not grabbing the bull by the horns 330 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 12: and getting a White House meeting in the Oval Office already, and. 331 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 2: Not even getting a meeting with the Vice President. I 332 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 2: think Anthony Abaneze there was a massive misstep to think 333 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 2: that I'm the leader of the country, I must meet 334 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 2: the leader of the US and bypass j Evans. 335 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 12: Right and not grabbing that opportunity when he had it 336 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 12: so at the Hague, supposedly Richard Morrils is going to 337 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 12: meet potentially with the President Trump, but we shall see. 338 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,199 Speaker 2: Back to the US and Attorney General Pam Bondi was 339 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 2: asked about how many Iranian sleeper cells maybe in the 340 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,199 Speaker 2: US right now? How many Iranian sleeper cells do we 341 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 2: suspect here in. 342 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 5: The United States, Congressman, I can't talk about that in 343 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 5: the setting, but what I can tell you is I 344 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 5: know Homeland Security, I know the FBI. They are focusing 345 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 5: on doing everything we can to keep our nation safe. 346 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 5: There is not a day that goes by that we 347 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 5: don't discuss the issues that you just brought up with 348 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 5: me at the Department of Justice. But I also know 349 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 5: that our counterparts at DoD HSI, the State Department, and 350 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 5: all of our agencies are working together to make America 351 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 5: safe and in turn keep our world safe kosher. 352 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 2: She also said there that it was a particularly dangerous 353 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 2: period for the US. Of course, we saw millions coming 354 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 2: across that southern border under the Biden administration, no checks, 355 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 2: no controls, So really, how could they have any idea 356 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 2: how many sleeper cells they could be in the country. 357 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,439 Speaker 12: And they probably don't. And this is back to what 358 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 12: we were talking about earlier that with this action, you 359 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 12: cannot predict every consequence, and we will probably never know 360 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 12: every consequence is going to come out of it. And 361 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 12: these kinds of ones, you know, the overt ones like 362 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 12: the missiles that were striking and intercepted by the US military. 363 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,719 Speaker 12: That was a great showing of the might of American 364 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 12: military offensively and defensively. But things like this it is 365 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 12: harder to predict, and it further underscores the Trump administration's 366 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 12: number one agenda, and really what undergirded his whole rise 367 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 12: politically is immigration, securing the border, deporting illegals, and that 368 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 12: is a problem that we've got anywhere from thirty forty 369 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 12: fifty million. Nobody knows the number of illegals in the country. 370 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 12: About ten to twelve were allowed just the last four 371 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 12: years under Joe Biden, tens of thousands of them potentially Iranians. 372 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 12: Many may very well be sympathetic to the regime and 373 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 12: not very happy right now. So this is a big problem. 374 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 12: It is concerning, and hopefully this gives them some more 375 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 12: ammunition rhetorically speaking, to really deport those people aggressively and 376 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 12: fight back against all the opposition they're facing internally. 377 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 2: How will the Democrats handle this escalation? Will they carry 378 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 2: water for Iran's Islamist regime, for the mad Muller's We've 379 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 2: heard a lot of claims with the Democrats that the 380 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 2: strikes were unconstitutional, against international law. We've gone the likes 381 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 2: of AOC and came Jeffries calling for impeachment. They really 382 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 2: are getting on the front foot with this, But again 383 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 2: I wonder whether this is going to be counterproductive for them. 384 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 12: I think so, and they feel really scattered. There's like 385 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 12: fifteen different messages that have come out of the Democrat Party. 386 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 12: You had John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, very very in favor, 387 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 12: very much in favor of it. You have these guys 388 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 12: calling for impeachment. Impeachment is their favorite tool of choice 389 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 12: against Trump. They did it twice over the perfect phone 390 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 12: call quote unquote and the insurrection that had rise to 391 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 12: legal standard of insurrections. 392 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 2: So had they learned from that or do they still 393 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 2: know that the more radical elements of their supporter base 394 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 2: get excited when they hear the I word, and they 395 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 2: are just going to keep going down that road, even 396 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 2: if it just makes them even more unelectable. 397 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 12: I think it seems to be the latter. They just 398 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 12: don't have the votes right now. But if they were 399 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 12: to gain back the majority in the midterms, which is 400 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 12: possible because the Publicans have a very slim majority, absolutely, 401 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 12: I think they're going to find the first pause they 402 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 12: can cook up to do it. And that's another reason 403 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 12: why Trump really has to act fast, because who knows 404 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:05,919 Speaker 12: how much time he has left. If they were to 405 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 12: do this. 406 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 2: Well, it's going to be fascinating what they come up with. 407 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 2: Cook Up, I think was the perfect term there. Now 408 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 2: to other news, the FBI has launched investigations into who 409 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 2: is funding and organizing violent protests in the US. What 410 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 2: NGO's individuals are behind the lawlessness we saw in LA 411 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 2: and other cities. They can expect to feel the full 412 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 2: force of the law. Let's here from Bill Asali along 413 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 2: with FBI Assistant Director Akil Davis and IRS Special Agent 414 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 2: Tyler Hatcher. 415 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 13: These violent agitators put peaceful demonstrators at risk. The FBI 416 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 13: and our fellow partners will continue to investigate individuals and 417 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 13: organizations who are knowingly funding and committing acts of violence 418 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 13: against law enforcement, as well as the destruction of property. 419 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 14: We are currently tracing money to determine who is providing 420 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 14: funding for these riots. Funding crime doesn't just affect the criminals, 421 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 14: it also disrupts entire communities. Each dollar funneled into illegal operations, 422 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 14: fuels violence, underminds law and order, and perpetuates fear. Make 423 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 14: no mistake, we will identify and disrupt financial network supporting 424 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 14: these criminal activities. 425 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 2: This is potentially huge. There are some very rich, very 426 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 2: influential characters behind some of these NGOs that are suspected 427 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 2: of aiding and abetting the rioters. And again this is 428 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 2: something that the Trump base is very energized about. 429 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 12: This is potentially huge. That old adage follow the money 430 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 12: rings very true here. If you choke off the money supply. 431 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,679 Speaker 12: A lot of these so called protests that are probably 432 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 12: not one hundred percent organic, I think a lot of 433 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 12: people doubt that they are do get severed. It won't 434 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 12: be easy because the likes of George Soros's name comes 435 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 12: up and other very powerful people who are going to 436 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 12: lawyer up. They're going to have judges in their corner 437 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 12: that are going to try and style me this every 438 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 12: step of the way. So it's not going to be easy, 439 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 12: but it does show the power of a full throaded 440 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 12: approach by the government, all agencies, the IRS they know 441 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:11,439 Speaker 12: everything about your money, the FBI, the DoD, Homeland Security, Pambindi, 442 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 12: and the Justice Department, everybody kind of coming together for 443 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 12: the singular goal of getting these people out and those 444 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 12: who eat and about them admonished. 445 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 2: Now before you go. If you were advising the Australian government, 446 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 2: which has now got a relationship with our biggest ally, 447 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 2: the US, that isn't the strongest it's been. We've had 448 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 2: the Prime Minister snubbed repeatedly, how would you look to 449 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 2: repair that relationship? Had do you? Because we've have the 450 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 2: trade tariffs to negotiate, we have orcas, we've got the 451 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 2: defense spending. It's a really critical time and Albaniza needs 452 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 2: to get some FaceTime with the President. 453 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 12: I think you have been very clear about Australia first, 454 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,120 Speaker 12: like what is the actual policy gender that puts Australia first, 455 00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,360 Speaker 12: and understanding that sometimes that gets complicated as well. You're 456 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 12: dealing with this tenuous coalition or of different people from 457 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 12: the Greens all the way to the Centrist so figuring 458 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,199 Speaker 12: that out, and then secondly in teress of dealing with 459 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 12: the US. Trump is very much a people person at 460 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 12: the end of the day, in that old fashioned approach 461 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 12: of building a relationship, finding somebody who has likability with 462 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 12: him and his team and pushing on that. 463 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,959 Speaker 2: Like that's going to be Kevin Rudd. It looks like 464 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 2: the ambassador is an impediment, not a help at this point, 465 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 2: do they have to make a call on that, because 466 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 2: this relationship has it's tainted, it's it's as weak as 467 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 2: it's Spain in several decades. 468 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 12: And he doesn't seem to be pulling away from that Albans. 469 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 12: He seems to be backing Kevin Rudd and that role. 470 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 12: But I would have to imagine. I don't think Trump is 471 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 12: really spending too much time thinking about Australia right now. 472 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 12: But if it were, and if he said I can't 473 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 12: work with this guy, send me somebody else, I'm pretty 474 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 12: sure that would happen. 475 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 2: Koshigeta, thank you for your time. Pleasure coming up. Lefties 476 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,199 Speaker 2: Losing It Plass three radical socialist NEPO baby on the 477 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 2: verge of being elected mayor of New York meeting, Alex 478 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 2: Stein joins me. Next, you're watching the Reader Paney Show, 479 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 2: and it's time for lefties losing it. You know, nature 480 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 2: is healing. Things are getting better day by day. Even 481 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 2: as the demented Democrats called for Donald Trump to be 482 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 2: impeach Fray targeted strike against Iran's nuclear facilities. Still the 483 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:39,400 Speaker 2: number of sane, rational folk is increasing. You know things 484 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:43,360 Speaker 2: are looking up. When a confirmed teds sufferer like Charlemagne 485 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 2: is relatedly seeing the light. Now this is going to 486 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 2: outrage his lefty audience. That will be meltdowns galore cause 487 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 2: his spitting facts. 488 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 15: There have been a bunch of presidents who have ordered 489 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 15: strakes without congressional approval. Barack Obama did it against Libya. 490 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 15: Biden ordered strikes in Iraq and Syria without congressional approval. 491 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 15: Bill Clinton did it to the Kulsovo. I think you 492 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 15: can pronounced it. So President's ordering military action without congressional 493 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 15: approval has become pretty routine. 494 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 2: And he is not alone. He's another Democrat, another lefty 495 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 2: losing it. He used to rile against Trump, who is 496 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 2: now defending him. Stephen I. Smith is angry not at 497 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 2: the President, but at the Democrats and their calls for impeachment. 498 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:32,679 Speaker 16: The Democrats are calling, or at least some of them are 499 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 16: calling for the impeachment of Donald Trump. Same old song 500 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 16: and dance. I thought we heard this before. I thought 501 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 16: that was over and done with. The minute you lost 502 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 16: the election with the popular voter in the electoral college, 503 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 16: Volden losing. 504 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 2: Every Swinge state, I thought we were over that. 505 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 16: Question number one. No matter what you feel about the 506 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 16: President of the United States. 507 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 2: Do you think that's the time. 508 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 16: While we're in the middle of such strife to be 509 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 16: calling for the impeachment of the President of the United States, particular, 510 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 16: if you're a representative of you're an elected official in 511 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 16: the United States of America, I don't think so. It's 512 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 16: number one. 513 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 2: Number two. 514 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 16: Were the Democrat saying that when Obama bamba Libya when 515 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 16: he was in office. 516 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 2: It's a new day, folks. I'll be playing you some 517 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 2: crazy lefties soon, but right now we are just reveling 518 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 2: in lefties who are finally seeing the light. 519 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 16: This is eradicating a threat. Civilians weren't targeted, nuclear sites 520 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 16: were targeted. You can navigate your way around the war 521 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 16: powers act itself, and you don't have to concern yourself 522 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 16: with receiving congressional approval. 523 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 2: The Democrats know that because of Obama. 524 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 16: So if you knew that because of Obama and you 525 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 16: didn't say it when it involved him in Libya, why 526 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 16: would you turn around and all of a sudden try 527 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 16: to make that case against Donald Trump. 528 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 2: Really, he's done my work for me, precisely the arguments 529 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 2: I was going to make it. Now I have to 530 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 2: listen to a lifelong Democrat maker, I may lose it myself. 531 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 2: Now Trump has even got Democrat Senator John Fetterman, once 532 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 2: a far left radical, criticizing AOC and her calls for 533 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:10,959 Speaker 2: Trump to be impeached. 534 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 17: She knows it, I know it, We all know it. 535 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 17: That's not going anywhere. And you know he's been impeached 536 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 17: twice and now he's still our president as well now too, 537 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 17: So it's not going anywhere. And I don't think that's helpful. 538 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 17: And I think if you throw that term around, that 539 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 17: actually diminishes what the severity of what impeachment is really 540 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 17: reserved for. 541 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 2: And here's more lefties getting an education. Old school lefty. 542 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 2: Bill Myer's audience got a strong dose of logic from 543 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 2: Republican Wesley Hunt about the importance of not tearing down 544 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 2: Confederate statues and the importance of restoring the names of 545 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 2: military bases. Listen to this. 546 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: Trump is putting the Roberty Lee name back on buildings. 547 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: I mean, are you done with that? 548 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 11: So when I was at West Point, I actually lived 549 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 11: in Robert E. Lee Barrett when I was there, and 550 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:02,959 Speaker 11: as I said, Berdie Lee went to it. Yes, yes, 551 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 11: yes he did. That's why the beaks named after him, 552 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 11: And so my brother, sister, and I are matriculated through 553 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 11: West Point. We all graduated. And I will never forget 554 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 11: walking under the threshold of Roberty Lee Berris to think 555 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 11: to myself, damn, this is one hell of a country, 556 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 11: because only in America can someone like me walk into 557 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 11: a building named after a Confederate general and then be 558 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 11: a successful West Point graduate. And I do not want 559 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 11: to take down these statutes and shames, the names of 560 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 11: these buildings. They're a reminder of what was and if 561 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 11: we don't remember it, we are doomed to repeat it. 562 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 18: So there's a reason for it. 563 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 2: I said, as if it's not bad enough that I 564 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 2: have the like sort of Charlemagne and Stephen A Smith 565 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 2: making my arguments for me. And now is Bill Maher 566 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 2: poking fun at the dangerously dim witted and delusional ladies 567 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 2: of the view with. 568 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: Pie Goldberg saying it's worse to be a black person 569 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: in America today than a woman in Iran. You know, 570 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: I say, we were talking about the transisue before in 571 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: the New York Times. Really has come over on that 572 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: to the sort of the sensible liberal not crazy work position. 573 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: I think this is great first step to were getting 574 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: the Democrats back to sanity, and a second good step 575 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: would be we got to do something about the view. 576 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 2: I really believe that. 577 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 6: I mean. 578 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 18: This huge and. 579 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 2: Iranda, stay in your lane. Bill Maher, mocking lefties is 580 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 2: my territory. You go back to, I don't know, smoking 581 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 2: dope and poking fun at Christians. But I do want 582 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 2: to play you. This brilliant response to Whoop is insane 583 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 2: victim playing from Wesley Hunt. And note again the audience clapping. 584 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 2: This is Bill Maher's audience. This wouldn't have happened a 585 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 2: few years ago. 586 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 11: My district and agreats out of Texas is actually a 587 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 11: white majority district that President Trump would have won by 588 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 11: twenty five points. As I said, I'm a direct descendant 589 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 11: of a slave. My great great grandfather was born on 590 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 11: a rolls down plantation. I am literally being judged not 591 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 11: by the color of my skin, but by the content 592 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 11: of my character. 593 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 9: That's the progress because like a lot of white people 594 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 9: had to vote for me a lot, So I don't 595 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 9: even every want to hear Whoopy Gober's conversation about how 596 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 9: it's worse to be black in America. 597 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 11: Right now, that's a bit far. And my father, who's 598 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 11: seventy five years old, he was a man that was 599 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 11: in a French quarter that had to go get a 600 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 11: sandwich to the back door of the building. And his 601 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 11: son is now a United States congressman in a white 602 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 11: majority district in Texas as a Republican. That is America. 603 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 2: That's America. And while we're talking about the view, let's 604 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 2: check in on the lunacy. Here is Joy Beja. 605 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 19: So on Thursday, the White House said that Trump was 606 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 19: going to make a decision on Iran within the next 607 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 19: two weeks. That's what he said. None of that, okay, 608 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 19: he was going to give diplomatic negotiations more time to 609 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 19: play out. And then less than forty eight hours later, 610 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 19: this attack was underway. So what changed and what was 611 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 19: he actually trying to accomplish here? 612 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 20: I mean, I looked the two weeks measure was clearly 613 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 20: a bit of a head fake. 614 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 19: So why did he keep it a secuence just for 615 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 19: the surprise and the surprise version. 616 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 20: I mean absolutely the diversion. And you saw the way 617 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 20: that the all indications were that B twos were flying 618 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 20: towards Guam. They already thought, okay, so we're getting in 619 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 20: position to be ready. They wanted to have some element 620 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 20: of surprised. 621 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 2: Did she really ask why the US didn't tell the 622 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 2: Iranians about the surprise attack? Lost for words? Here is 623 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 2: Sunny Houston on the view, pretending to be an international 624 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 2: law expert, and she gets shut down quick smart. 625 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 3: He bypassed Congress potentially violated the War Powers Resolution. I 626 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 3: believe this is certainly a clear violation of international law. 627 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 3: At the very least, Democratic House Leader haw King Jeffreyes 628 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 3: accused the President of misleading the country as to his intentions. 629 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 3: What do you think are the possible ramifications that President 630 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 3: Trump could face for arguably overstepping his authority. 631 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 20: Well, look, constitutional, Constitutionally, only Congress has the power to 632 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 20: declare war. The War Powers Act would make it seem 633 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 20: very clear you need to have Congressional approval on this. 634 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 20: But president after president after president has launched the military 635 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 20: action without the approval of Congress. 636 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 2: Now Here is further proof that blue cities are mad 637 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 2: and willing to elect ever more radical miscerients. New York's 638 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:36,840 Speaker 2: mayoral race is underway and Zoran Mamdani, a socialist. The 639 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,719 Speaker 2: New York Post reports, has Billy ever held a job 640 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,280 Speaker 2: and admits to being a Nepo baby. Well, he could 641 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 2: be the next man. He could be the man to 642 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 2: lead a city of eight point eight million people. This guy, you. 643 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:01,319 Speaker 19: Go ahead and United Class in Iraq. 644 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 12: Give adept. 645 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 2: Attracting world and more recently, it has been involved in 646 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 2: violent protests against Tom Homan and the Trump administration's deportation program. 647 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 2: Joining me now is comedian and host of Prime Time 648 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,720 Speaker 2: with Alex Stein on Blaze TV. Alex, what is going 649 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,399 Speaker 2: on in New York? Will we have this thirty three 650 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 2: year old become mayor? 651 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 18: You know, I hate to say it, Rita, but I 652 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 18: think he is, you know, possibly going to win. And 653 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,319 Speaker 18: I think New York kind of you know, they get 654 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 18: what they deserve. And if they want to try radical socialism, 655 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 18: and I'll go ahead and find out. I know, California 656 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,320 Speaker 18: had some terrible fires because they didn't have, you know, 657 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 18: water to put out these fires. Lord have mercy if 658 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 18: there's a terrible fire in New York City and they 659 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 18: don't have water to put it out. So if they 660 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 18: want to go this direction, that's why we live in 661 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 18: a democracy. And if these people want to choose to 662 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 18: go that route, you know, Buyer beware, is all I 663 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 18: can say. When it comes to the citizens of New 664 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 18: York City. 665 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 2: Well, I think we're going to see a new influx 666 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 2: of New Yorkers moving to your state, Texas or Florida 667 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:28,759 Speaker 2: and Tennessee. We have seen that internally in the US 668 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 2: for some time now, Californians and New Yorkers fleeing these 669 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:36,400 Speaker 2: blue states going to red states like Texas and Florida. 670 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 2: But sometimes they keep voting the same way, so it 671 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 2: can be a bit of a danger. And now Joe 672 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 2: Biden or whoever was pulling his strings, put this woman? 673 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 2: Can Tanjie Brown Jackson on the Supreme Court? Remember this? 674 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 2: Can you provide a definition for the word woman? Can 675 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:57,760 Speaker 2: I provide a definition? 676 00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 11: Now? 677 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:07,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't, not okay this context. I'm not in biology. Yes, 678 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,880 Speaker 2: on the Supreme Court, but I can't tell you what 679 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,840 Speaker 2: a woman is. But since becoming Scots, we've seen that 680 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:18,319 Speaker 2: justice wowing us with theatrics literally like I. 681 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 3: Hate it, which makes you think it must be brilliant. 682 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 2: And ABC News reports that Justice Brown Jackson has unloaded 683 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:38,280 Speaker 2: on her Supreme Court colleagues in a series of sharp 684 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 2: des sense, castigating them for what she called a pure 685 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 2: textualism approach to interpreting the law. Yes, we can't really 686 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 2: rely on the text, Alex. We've got to just go 687 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 2: with the feelings and vibes. I guess. 688 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 18: You know, she is the dei vibe Supreme Court justice. 689 00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,560 Speaker 18: So I'm surprised that she doesn't want to have to 690 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 18: look at and go buy, you know, the laws written 691 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,719 Speaker 18: in a book. So I'm honestly not surprised because you 692 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 18: can't define a simple question like what is a woman? 693 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,759 Speaker 18: She can't say that there's many biological differences when it 694 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,839 Speaker 18: comes to chromosomes or body parts. I mean, there's just 695 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,319 Speaker 18: so many differences between the man and a woman, and 696 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 18: she wants to try to play kid as if they're 697 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,919 Speaker 18: the same. So this is who's in power, and there's 698 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 18: always going to be one of these dei people that 699 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,359 Speaker 18: are there. And I think it's almost good in a way, 700 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 18: so we can kind of weed out who is making 701 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 18: the wrong decision in the Supreme Court. Sadly, I think 702 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,760 Speaker 18: they're going to have a job for life. Supreme Court 703 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 18: justices don't go anywhere, so it stinks that she's got 704 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,759 Speaker 18: a job forever. But at least we know that she's 705 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 18: kind of you know, the dumb one. So whatever however 706 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 18: she votes, we know the opposite of it is probably 707 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 18: the way that we should be voting. 708 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,440 Speaker 2: I would argue there's another one on that in that 709 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:54,399 Speaker 2: court that's even dumber, but we'll argue about that another day. 710 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,680 Speaker 2: But yeah, she's got some competition there. I can tell 711 00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:01,880 Speaker 2: you Sean did he Combs? Music mogul Shawn did he Combs? 712 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,279 Speaker 2: He's not going to testify at his trial. The New 713 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:09,200 Speaker 2: York Post is reporting not only is did He not testifying, 714 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,840 Speaker 2: but his legal team isn't planning on calling a single 715 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 2: witness in his defense. Alex, I'm not a lawyer, but 716 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 2: this seems rather a risky approach. 717 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:22,280 Speaker 12: Well, you know, I'm. 718 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,000 Speaker 18: Not an attorney either, but I do think that they 719 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 18: say that if you are, you know, a criminal, it's 720 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 18: better to not go on the stand so that you 721 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,279 Speaker 18: don't perjure yourself or I guess that he doesn't, you know, 722 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 18: get caught up in some sort of web of lies 723 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 18: by the prosecution. So maybe it is smart for a 724 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 18: to not go on the stand. But let's be real, 725 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 18: and I know this is an unpopular position to take 726 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:43,799 Speaker 18: when it comes to this case and everything that I've 727 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,840 Speaker 18: heard so far. Pope Daddy might be the most repugnant 728 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 18: human being in the world, but according to this case, 729 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 18: everything seems to have been consensual. It seems like there's 730 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 18: a lot of money in baby oil and disgusting actions. 731 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:55,960 Speaker 18: But I think some people in this case need to 732 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,399 Speaker 18: take some sort of self responsibility. So if Puff Dady 733 00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,000 Speaker 18: gets off from this core case, it's going to be 734 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 18: like the og Simpson trail. I mean, he's going to 735 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 18: be a hero reader for all the wrong reasons. So 736 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,680 Speaker 18: I kind of hope that that doesn't happen. But I 737 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 18: also hope that, you know, justice is served and that 738 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,799 Speaker 18: he doesn't go to jail unnecessarily if he didn't really 739 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,279 Speaker 18: commit the crime that they're accusing him. 740 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 2: One, well, we don't know what the jurors think of 741 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 2: some of the footage they've seen, because no one else 742 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 2: has seen A Federal prosecutors on Monday show the jurors 743 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:29,280 Speaker 2: around twenty minutes of footage from these so called freak offs, 744 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,759 Speaker 2: and the videos were only viewed by the jury due 745 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,959 Speaker 2: to the very graphic nature. Side don't I mean again, 746 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:41,000 Speaker 2: just because it's repugnant doesn't mean it's illegal, So yeah, 747 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,440 Speaker 2: it will be fascinating to see the outcome of this case. 748 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,440 Speaker 2: Before you go, Alex, I know you're very sad because 749 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:52,800 Speaker 2: Pride Month is almost over. You've been very active throughout June. 750 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,240 Speaker 2: How close have you come to being arrested or perhaps 751 00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,760 Speaker 2: being assaulted with some of your antics? 752 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,759 Speaker 18: You know, Rita, June is a good month when it 753 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 18: comes to clicks, but in reality, I'm ready for it 754 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,920 Speaker 18: to be over because listen, I love my gay brothers 755 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:09,879 Speaker 18: and sisters, but do we need a whole month to 756 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,759 Speaker 18: just celebrate somebody's sexuality. I mean, come on, a week 757 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 18: is long enough, So I'll be happy when this holiday 758 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:20,920 Speaker 18: is over. And unfortunately, I will say this, you know, 759 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:25,280 Speaker 18: getting all these cliques and confronting drag queen story times. Sadly, 760 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,759 Speaker 18: this stuff goes on even when it's not June. So 761 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,480 Speaker 18: just because June's ending doesn't mean that all this weird 762 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:32,200 Speaker 18: indoctrination is going to stop. 763 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,359 Speaker 2: Alex Stein, thank you so much for your time. 764 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:38,239 Speaker 18: Thank you, Rita. 765 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:43,280 Speaker 2: Still to come. New research shows the dangers of medicalized 766 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 2: transgender treatments. Rachel Wong joins me with the latest Welcome 767 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:02,520 Speaker 2: Back Now. Josh True Decide, a landmark case which gave 768 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 2: Australian parents the authority to approve the prescription of puberty 769 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:11,320 Speaker 2: blockers for their children is now expressing doubts about that verdict. 770 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 2: Former family called Judge Steve Strickland has said the outcome 771 00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 2: might have been different if today's medical evidence had been 772 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:24,160 Speaker 2: available with revelations about the risks posed by puberty blockers. 773 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:28,919 Speaker 2: Johnny wan Now is CEO Women's Forum Australia. Rachel Wong Rachel, 774 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,320 Speaker 2: I would have thought these risks were evident for some time, 775 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:36,560 Speaker 2: even though some in the medical fraternity are reluctant to 776 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 2: stand against the transactivists who willed so much influence. That's right, rata. 777 00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,520 Speaker 8: These risks have been evident for quite some time. But 778 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:49,120 Speaker 8: having someone like just Strickland come out and actually reiterate 779 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,279 Speaker 8: them yet again, I think is very powerful and another 780 00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,520 Speaker 8: nail in the coffin of so called gender firm in care, 781 00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,200 Speaker 8: because what he's basically saying is that the current structures 782 00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 8: in place that allowed children to rescis puity blockers may 783 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,359 Speaker 8: no longer be viable given the new evidence that has 784 00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,560 Speaker 8: come to light over the last few years about the 785 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,799 Speaker 8: harms and the reversibility of such treatments. 786 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,840 Speaker 2: And That's why we need a review, isn't it. We 787 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 2: really need to have a nationwide review that is transparent, 788 00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:21,759 Speaker 2: that is not full of activist research, where we just 789 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,279 Speaker 2: look at the cold, hard facts, what the impacts of 790 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:29,360 Speaker 2: these drugs are these treatments and look at the hard 791 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,080 Speaker 2: data without all the ideology. 792 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,040 Speaker 8: One hundred percent. And honestly, I'm not quite sure what 793 00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,480 Speaker 8: it's going to take for our leaders to hold this 794 00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,200 Speaker 8: review because there has been so many developments in relation 795 00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,440 Speaker 8: to youth gender medicine, both in Australia and overseas just 796 00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,600 Speaker 8: this year, and the mainstream media continues to ignore it. 797 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,800 Speaker 8: Politicians continue to provide protection rackets for those reforming these treatments, 798 00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,360 Speaker 8: and the GENA clinics themselves try to continue as of 799 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,920 Speaker 8: its business as usual. So I'm not sure what it's 800 00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:00,040 Speaker 8: going to take for our politicians to actually recognize the 801 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,080 Speaker 8: harms that have been done to children, young people and 802 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:03,480 Speaker 8: to actually act. 803 00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:06,040 Speaker 5: Well. 804 00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,840 Speaker 2: This research just lends further weight to that. A new 805 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:13,440 Speaker 2: study has revealed the risks to men of taking estrogen 806 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,719 Speaker 2: men who identify as women. In this study, the use 807 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:21,760 Speaker 2: of estrogen estrogen was linked to higher risks of cardiovascular disease. 808 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 2: And significantly higher risks of testicular and breast cancer Rachel. 809 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:32,160 Speaker 2: If these findings are accurate, this is really frightening data. 810 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:36,799 Speaker 2: How many who went down this medicalized pass would have 811 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:40,360 Speaker 2: made different decisions if they knew the full risks. 812 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,000 Speaker 8: One hundred percent, and we know that there are similarly 813 00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:47,279 Speaker 8: devastating risks for women who are identifying as men and 814 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:51,160 Speaker 8: who have been pumped full of testosterone. And I think, 815 00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,520 Speaker 8: quite frankly, what has been done to an incredibly vulnerable 816 00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,600 Speaker 8: population in terms of what has effectively been a medical 817 00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:02,239 Speaker 8: experiment over many years, is is criminal. And the fact 818 00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:03,880 Speaker 8: that they are doing it to children and young people 819 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:04,960 Speaker 8: I think is unforgivable. 820 00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:10,320 Speaker 2: Absolutely. I think we're going to see a lot of lawsuits, 821 00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,239 Speaker 2: and maybe it will take the lawsuits to see some 822 00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:18,960 Speaker 2: real meaningful change in this country. We're trailing the UK, Scandinavia, 823 00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:23,240 Speaker 2: much of the US now to a different story. Obstetrician 824 00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:27,600 Speaker 2: has told a parliamentary inquiry that hundreds of migrant women 825 00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:32,960 Speaker 2: are seeking abortions every year to avoid breaching their visa conditions. 826 00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:38,160 Speaker 2: Obstetricians said they're providing services to five to six hundred 827 00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 2: pregnant women per year. Rachel More can you tell me 828 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,040 Speaker 2: about this? Why are they doing this if they don't 829 00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:46,040 Speaker 2: want to have an abortion. 830 00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:50,360 Speaker 8: Well, it seems from the evidence that's been given to 831 00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:54,760 Speaker 8: the Slavery Inquiry, so that these women have job visas 832 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,719 Speaker 8: and there are certain restrictions around those I imagine around sort 833 00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,640 Speaker 8: of getting pregnant or maybe a pregnance they will interfere, 834 00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,960 Speaker 8: they feel with their job, and so they're fit feeling 835 00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:08,480 Speaker 8: forced to undertake abortions as opposed to continuing with their pregnancies. 836 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,760 Speaker 8: And the doctor that gave the evidence of the inquiry, 837 00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,480 Speaker 8: she is someone who's performed abortions, and she likened this 838 00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,399 Speaker 8: to a form of modern slavery, and I think she's 839 00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,760 Speaker 8: absolutely right. And I'm actually quite surprised that the ABC 840 00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,640 Speaker 8: even reported on this and that this doctor even came forward, 841 00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:25,759 Speaker 8: because what we tend to see around the issue of 842 00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,560 Speaker 8: abortion is that there is a lot of reluctance to 843 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,279 Speaker 8: talk about the negative consequences and the negative things that 844 00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:35,080 Speaker 8: are going on, because there's a reluctance to I guess 845 00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,799 Speaker 8: impact on what some see as an unfettered right and 846 00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,720 Speaker 8: what some see is healthcare. And so it's good to see. 847 00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:41,960 Speaker 2: This coming out, but. 848 00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,920 Speaker 8: It is very tragic to hear that there are hundreds 849 00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,640 Speaker 8: of women just in this one place alone who have 850 00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,279 Speaker 8: felt they have been forced undergo abortions. And we know 851 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 8: that abortion coersion is something that is prominent throughout Australia, 852 00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:57,760 Speaker 8: not just in this place, whether it be in relation 853 00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:01,560 Speaker 8: to more explicit firms of quersion like domestic violence, or 854 00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:05,440 Speaker 8: more subtle forms of coersion like feeling unsupported or feeling like, 855 00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,759 Speaker 8: you know, you have to have a termination to be 856 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,080 Speaker 8: able to keep your job. And I think that what 857 00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:15,600 Speaker 8: we're seeing, unfortunately at the political level, is MPs who 858 00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,520 Speaker 8: are obsessed with expanding access to abortion at any stage 859 00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:22,480 Speaker 8: for any reason, Whereas imagine if these politicives put as 860 00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,759 Speaker 8: much effort into actually addressing the underlying stitle issues and 861 00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:27,240 Speaker 8: inequalities that these. 862 00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:31,920 Speaker 2: Kinds of women are facing. Yeah, well said, it seems 863 00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:35,239 Speaker 2: if you talk about abortion in anything other than a 864 00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:38,320 Speaker 2: positive light, there are some who just get very upset 865 00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:40,839 Speaker 2: are reluctant to even report on it. So yeah, good 866 00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:44,960 Speaker 2: on the ABC for covering that story. Now, yesterday we 867 00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:49,960 Speaker 2: showed you BBC presenter Martine Croxwell who corrected the auto 868 00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:53,120 Speaker 2: Q from saying pregnant people to pregnant women. 869 00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:58,400 Speaker 21: Nearly six hundred heat related deaths are expected in the UK. 870 00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,239 Speaker 21: Malcolm Mystery, who was involved in the research, says that 871 00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:07,280 Speaker 21: the aged, pregnant people, women and those with pre existing 872 00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,759 Speaker 21: health conditions need to take precautions. 873 00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:10,160 Speaker 5: Ah. 874 00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:15,600 Speaker 2: She has received so much praise online Rachel, including from JK. Rowling, 875 00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:19,239 Speaker 2: which is great to see. But I've got to say 876 00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,880 Speaker 2: the bar is pretty low when someone says something as 877 00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:25,399 Speaker 2: obvious as that and everyone's standing around applauding like it's 878 00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:26,760 Speaker 2: some profound moment. 879 00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,640 Speaker 8: I know absolutely. I mean, look, we have to take 880 00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,280 Speaker 8: these wins where we get them bo and that byrol 881 00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:37,440 Speaker 8: corection absolutely flawless and I think pretty much communicates what 882 00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:39,440 Speaker 8: a lot of us are feeling in relation to women 883 00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:42,359 Speaker 8: being raised and humanized with terms like pregnant people and 884 00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,279 Speaker 8: uterus owners and bleeders and so on. And I know 885 00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:48,880 Speaker 8: that even in the latest issues paper by the. 886 00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,120 Speaker 2: Australian Law Reform Commission about. 887 00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:54,040 Speaker 8: The review of surrogacy laws, the word woman is only 888 00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:57,160 Speaker 8: mentioned once and it prefers to use terms like pregnant 889 00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,160 Speaker 8: people pregnant person as well. And so you know we're 890 00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,920 Speaker 8: still fighting this here, but great to see this kind 891 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:03,960 Speaker 8: of thing from the BBC. Imagine if someone at the 892 00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:04,759 Speaker 8: ABC did this. 893 00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,360 Speaker 2: I can't believe that. I can't believe we're still using 894 00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:14,800 Speaker 2: in official documents pregnant people. I mean, have they learned 895 00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,839 Speaker 2: nothing in the last three to four years where there's 896 00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:21,160 Speaker 2: really been a reckoning in this space. Rachel Wong, thank 897 00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:23,719 Speaker 2: you so much for your time tonight, and that's it 898 00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,600 Speaker 2: from me. I'll see you tomorrow night at eleven up. 899 00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:27,840 Speaker 2: Next it's Newsnight.
