Speaker 1: Live on Sky News.
Speaker 2: This is Sharry, Thanks Andrew. Good evening and first tonight
Speaker 2: to the Democrat and media meltdown over Donald Trump's win.
Speaker 2: Last night, when it was clear voters had elected Trump
Speaker 2: the forty seventh president of the United States, Kamala Harris
Speaker 2: didn't concede defeat. She didn't call him or address her
Speaker 2: supporters who'd worked tirelessly for her. Instead, after learning the
Speaker 2: news that Trump had won, she waited a full fourteen
Speaker 2: hours before coming out to address the nation, fourteen hours
Speaker 2: to accept the election result and actually show up. It
Speaker 2: was four o'clock in the afternoon US time when she
Speaker 2: finally made these remarks.
Speaker 3: We all loyalty not to a president or a party,
Speaker 3: but to the Constitution of the United States, and loyalty
Speaker 3: to our conscience and to our God.
Speaker 2: My allegiance to.
Speaker 3: All three is why I am here to say, while
Speaker 3: I conceive this election, I do not concede the fate
Speaker 3: that fueled this campaign.
Speaker 2: It was an odd message to send, but as you
Speaker 2: can see, she looked drawn and devastated. It's almost as
Speaker 2: though the result came as a total shock to her
Speaker 2: and to the Democrats. They never could have imagined that
Speaker 2: anyone would possibly vote for Donald Trump because of course
Speaker 2: his hitler, he's a Nazi, he's a fascist. But seventy
Speaker 2: two point six million Americans did, and counting, that's nearly
Speaker 2: fifty one percent of voters.
Speaker 4: So are the.
Speaker 2: Democrats now saying that all of those seventy two point
Speaker 2: six million people, including black Americans, including Hispanics, are racist.
Speaker 2: Are they saying that the tens of millions of women
Speaker 2: who voted for Trump a sexist, because that was the
Speaker 2: excuse from some in the media and some Democrats today
Speaker 2: for why Kamala didn't win. Sexism and racism. Have a look.
Speaker 5: There were appeals to racism in this campaign, and there
Speaker 5: is racial bias in this country, and there is sexism
Speaker 5: in this country. And anybody who thinks that that did
Speaker 5: not in any way impact on the outcome of this
Speaker 5: race is wrong.
Speaker 6: That message obviously was not enough to get enough white
Speaker 6: women to vote for Vice President Harris, a fellow woman.
Speaker 6: This will be the second opportunity that white women in
Speaker 6: this country have to change the way that they interact
Speaker 6: with the patriarchy.
Speaker 7: She is a person of color, she is a she,
Speaker 7: and she is an interracial marriage.
Speaker 8: And I wonder I have this question mark in my mind.
Speaker 2: Over whether all of those things combined was too much
Speaker 2: for pockets of this country. Others meanwhile, said Kamala lost
Speaker 2: because voters no longer believed in democracy.
Speaker 9: I can't help but think that if this selection seems
Speaker 9: to be if it proves out that the millions of
Speaker 9: people who are watching Fox News, if that ends up
Speaker 9: being the case.
Speaker 8: Then.
Speaker 9: I can't help but wonder if the American people have
Speaker 9: given up on democracy.
Speaker 2: No, this result is the very reflection of democracy. It's
Speaker 2: democracy in action. Trump's wayen is not because voters have
Speaker 2: abandoned democracy. It's the precise opposite. It's because voters have
Speaker 2: embraced it. Americans didn't want to be told how to vote,
Speaker 2: how to think, what to do, by the media, by politicians,
Speaker 2: and by celebrities. Remember all those pop stars who told
Speaker 2: voters they just had to support one candidate, Kamala Harris.
Speaker 10: Have been ready to change the next eight years because
Speaker 10: we're going to make sure we have Kamala Harris in office.
Speaker 7: For eight year.
Speaker 6: Women supporting and celebrating the one and only Vice President
Speaker 6: Kamala Harris.
Speaker 7: And you are the ones who are going to send
Speaker 7: the message that Nevada is Harris Country.
Speaker 2: But then, to top all of that, I still can't
Speaker 2: get over the most outrageous and dishonest threat that Oprah
Speaker 2: made that there'd be no more future elections. Voters chose
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. Have a look at that.
Speaker 6: If we don't show up tomorrow, it is entirely possible
Speaker 6: that we will not have the opportunity to.
Speaker 2: Ever cast a ballot again. You can't blame sexism or
Speaker 2: racism or abandoning democracy for Trump winning. That's all nonsense.
Speaker 2: This was voters caring about substance over identity, politics, caring
Speaker 2: about policy over celebrity, caring about their future over the vibe.
Speaker 2: These are issues that millionaire pop stars can't possibly relate
Speaker 2: to concerns about famili's financial future and giving their kids
Speaker 2: the best chance at life. And the result is also
Speaker 2: a thorough rejection of woke policies of DEI, of the
Speaker 2: radical progressive wave the Democrat Party has been forcing on Americans,
Speaker 2: and similar to what's going on in Australia as well,
Speaker 2: this result is voters saying that they want to return
Speaker 2: to the things that actually matter, the economy, the cost
Speaker 2: of living, border control, national security and safety. On the streets.
Speaker 2: This is why Trump had a clean sweep. He's won
Speaker 2: two hundred and ninety five states, He's won the Senate,
Speaker 2: and we're waiting to see if he wins the House.
Speaker 2: But despite this resounding and decisive vote, some Democrats would
Speaker 2: still like to throw him in prison if they could.
Speaker 2: And here's New York Attorney General Letitia James today declaring war.
Speaker 11: We face this challenge before, and we use the rule
Speaker 11: of law to fight back, and we are prepared to
Speaker 11: fight back once again because as the attorney general of
Speaker 11: this greetstate, is my job to protect and defend the
Speaker 11: rates of New Yorkers and the rule of law.
Speaker 2: This is a unity, this is division. It's warfare. And
Speaker 2: imagine if just twenty four hours after the election, if
Speaker 2: Trump had said something like that, he'd be accused of
Speaker 2: inciting violence. Were his son Eric today said that this
Speaker 2: politics of fear is far from inspirational.
Speaker 7: Laura, how can that inspire you? That doesn't inspire people
Speaker 7: in this country? You know what it inspires people when
Speaker 7: when somebody, when a man comes out, I guess all
Speaker 7: odds fights every day of his life to say, listen,
Speaker 7: I'm going to deliver America. The greatest economy. We're going
Speaker 7: to be the best country in the world. We're going
Speaker 7: to win it everything where we do. We're going to
Speaker 7: win it. Education, we're gonna have the best military. We're
Speaker 7: going to take care of our vests. We're gonna have
Speaker 7: right to try.
Speaker 2: But for most of America, or half of America, Trump's
Speaker 2: win well was well received. The Dow Jones was up
Speaker 2: one five hundred and seven points, the first time in
Speaker 2: two years it jumped more than a thousand points in
Speaker 2: a single day. Internationally, world leaders have been calling Trump
Speaker 2: wishing him congratulations, including of course our Prime Minister Anthony Albanezi,
Speaker 2: who probably made the call through gritted to you after
Speaker 2: previously saying he was scared of him.
Speaker 1: We have an alliance with the US. We're going to
Speaker 1: deal with him.
Speaker 12: But that doesn't mean that you're uncritical about it. He's
Speaker 12: scared academy, and I think it's of some concern that
Speaker 12: the leader of the free world thinks that you can
Speaker 12: conduct politics through one hundred and forty characters on Twitter.
Speaker 2: Well, now the Albenzi government will be scared of the
Speaker 2: obvious lessons from the American election that economy trumps all else,
Speaker 2: that you can call someone a Nazi or a fascist,
Speaker 2: but voters will see through it. They don't want to
Speaker 2: be lectured to like Albinizi did with the Voice. They're
Speaker 2: sick of the work causes and the main issue they
Speaker 2: care about, the only issue, the only critical issue, is
Speaker 2: cost of living. With Australia's economy well behind the rest
Speaker 2: of the world, this should be terrifying Albinizi even more
Speaker 2: than a Trump presidency. Now the Albenze government is scrambling
Speaker 2: to show up support in the US in Washington after
Speaker 2: Trump's win, with the Australian newspaper reporting that senior cabinet
Speaker 2: ministers were very confident Kamala Harris would beat Trump and
Speaker 2: that it would be business as usual for Australia. Yet again,
Speaker 2: no understanding of the climate in America. But you can
Speaker 2: imagine the Albanese government how they'd be feeling quite nervous
Speaker 2: now given the past comments that many of them have
Speaker 2: made about Trump. Now Kevin rad who of course is
Speaker 2: our ambassador in Washington, he's in charge of handling our
Speaker 2: critical relationship with the US. And just a reminder, and
Speaker 2: I showed these back in March, but here's some footage
Speaker 2: of what he said about Trump in the past.
Speaker 10: The alliance is intrinsically valuable whatever the future may hold.
Speaker 10: And Trump's only around for another three years.
Speaker 4: May he is an.
Speaker 13: Objective problem the world, for the regent, for my country,
Speaker 13: and Donald, as.
Speaker 1: We know, is not.
Speaker 4: A leading intellectual force.
Speaker 14: You looked at a Trump rally and how many angry
Speaker 14: white men there are in those rallies.
Speaker 2: It's so damaging. The Prime Minister today claimed that none
Speaker 2: of this would be a problem.
Speaker 15: Kevin Ruddy is doing a terrific job and it says
Speaker 15: a lot about how important we regard the relationship with
Speaker 15: the United States that we appointed a former prime minister.
Speaker 15: Now I look forward to working with President Trump. I
Speaker 15: look forward. I've had demonstrated, i think, my ability to
Speaker 15: work with world leaders and to develop relationships with them
Speaker 15: which are positive.
Speaker 2: But Labor's obviously worried because today Sky News broke the
Speaker 2: story that Rudd has been deleting disparaging comments that he
Speaker 2: made about Trump on x. Rudd said in June twenty
Speaker 2: twenty that Trump was the most destructive president in history.
Speaker 2: He drags America and democracy through the mud. He thrives
Speaker 2: and fermenting, not healing division. He abuses Christianity, Church and
Speaker 2: Bible to justify violence, all aided and abetted by Murdoch's
Speaker 2: Fox News networks in America. Welp that garbage has now
Speaker 2: been deleted by Right, and so as this tweet from
Speaker 2: February twenty twenty two, Donald Trump is a traitor to
Speaker 2: the West. Murdoch was Trump's biggest backer, and honor goes
Speaker 2: all gone or deleted. Rudd's private office said he did
Speaker 2: this to eliminate the possibility of such comments being misconstrued
Speaker 2: as reflecting his position as ambassador and by extension, the
Speaker 2: views of the Australian government. But really this all just
Speaker 2: draws more public attention to what Rudd has said repeat
Speaker 2: in many occasions on video and on X in the past.
Speaker 2: And this is all right at the time, our government
Speaker 2: on behalf of all Australia needs to make sure the
Speaker 2: relationship is rock solid. Well, Simon Birmingham today implied that
Speaker 2: Rudd might have to go.
Speaker 16: We want to see him succeed because it's in Australia's
Speaker 16: best interest for our ambassador in Washington. Of course, Kevin
Speaker 16: Right is not bigger than Australia's interests. Nor is Anthony
Speaker 16: Alby's Albanese's personal commitment to Kevin Rudd.
Speaker 2: And Michael Kroger said the same on My show, but
Speaker 2: in stronger terms last night. Any decent ambassador, a Peacock,
Speaker 2: a Beasley or Hockey, anyone who'd said that about the
Speaker 2: US president would resign. It's shocking judgment. Kevin Rudd should
Speaker 2: have known that there was a possibility Rudd could come
Speaker 2: back in the future. The MAGA movement clearly never went away.
Speaker 2: Really poor judgment. All right, let's bringing now a national
Speaker 2: senator Matt Canavan and commentator Jason Morrison. Matt, what do
Speaker 2: you think do you think this does put all of
Speaker 2: Australia in a difficult position because of Rudd's shocking judgment
Speaker 2: in the past. I mean, those remarks were so juvenile.
Speaker 1: Look, they were juvenile or unwise.
Speaker 17: But I don't want to see Kevin go because I
Speaker 17: don't think the Australian ambassad should be determined by the
Speaker 17: votes of Americans. This is our ambassador, it's our country
Speaker 17: and we should ultimately decide who is there. Obviously we
Speaker 17: need him to work in our country's interests.
Speaker 1: So I think that can be done.
Speaker 17: I mean, Donald Trump has shown a remarkable ability to
Speaker 17: work with people that have said the most vitrolic thing
Speaker 17: is about him in the past, including his vice presidential pick.
Speaker 17: So look, obviously Kevin needs to apologize as he's had
Speaker 17: as he has his apology needs to be as loud
Speaker 17: as his disrespect was in the first place. And I
Speaker 17: think if he shows signific and diplomatic skills, our relationship
Speaker 17: will be fine. So look, I'm not too worked up
Speaker 17: about it. I'm much more worked up about the government's
Speaker 17: mad cap green climate policies and how that's at odds
Speaker 17: with now the new administration's agenda and what that means
Speaker 17: for our country. But who's actually in the ambassador's office
Speaker 17: in Washington, DC. I don't think it affects many people's
Speaker 17: lives here in this country.
Speaker 2: You know what, Matt. I wasn't so worked up about
Speaker 2: it last night either, because I'd been speaking to people,
Speaker 2: you know, on this show, like Joe Hockey, who said
Speaker 2: to me, Kevin Rudd's been working so hard to make
Speaker 2: a man's building bridges. But then I watched those comments
Speaker 2: that he made. I mean that was from my own
Speaker 2: report back in March this year, and just look at
Speaker 2: watching again the vitriol with which he criticized Trump's intellect,
Speaker 2: how he called him a traitor, how he said he
Speaker 2: was abusing Christianity in the Bible and lashed out at
Speaker 2: all of us here at NewsCorp as well. And this
Speaker 2: ultimately is the Prime Minister's bad judgment.
Speaker 10: Look that he had to delete the tweets in its
Speaker 10: self tells you how inappropriate a choice.
Speaker 4: He was for the job in the first place. Everybody
Speaker 4: knew it. Let's not kid ourselves.
Speaker 10: He's over there because they've got the trouble out of
Speaker 10: the room. You know, he's not there because he's the
Speaker 10: greatest pick in Australia right now to go and represent
Speaker 10: Australia's interest. He's there because if he stays here he
Speaker 10: has a habit of causing trouble for his own team.
Speaker 2: He can't keep his trap.
Speaker 10: Shut, as that has demonstrated. So they had to get
Speaker 10: him out of the country. There was a job hopefully
Speaker 10: that'll work. It didn't work if he had any class
Speaker 10: at all. And I'm saying this and the knowledge that
Speaker 10: Kevin Rudd has none.
Speaker 4: But if he had any class at all, he'd resign.
Speaker 2: He would do.
Speaker 10: What's best for Australia, and I take what Matt says,
Speaker 10: and Matt is right. We shouldn't be dictated to by
Speaker 10: another country as to who we send there, but we
Speaker 10: should hope that someone, for god knows how what reason
Speaker 10: ended up Prime Minister of Australia would have at least
Speaker 10: the class, decency and intellect to figure out that this
Speaker 10: may not be good for this country's best interest. I mean,
Speaker 10: right now there's farmers absolutely trembling at the prospect of tariff.
Speaker 2: Changes and whatever. So it's going to bring that up road.
Speaker 4: It's not going to be able to do anything. They
Speaker 4: won't even talk to it.
Speaker 2: Exactly what I mean. Australia is going to be expecting
Speaker 2: an exemption, ye as we've had in the past, the
Speaker 2: ten percent tariffs. But we've got rud who's going to
Speaker 2: negotiate that. Who said all these nasty things about Trump
Speaker 2: before class should Trump have to just overlook it wasn't
Speaker 2: a one off lapse of judgment. It was a repeat
Speaker 2: pattern behavior. Matt, I want to ask you about this
Speaker 2: fascinating move by the coalition. Now, the coalition like we
Speaker 2: have at Sky News, like you know, people on the
Speaker 2: left and right, we've all been extremely concerned about Alboneze
Speaker 2: government's misinformation and disinformation built. We've been covering it on
Speaker 2: this show extensively under the cover of the US election.
Speaker 2: That was introduced yesterday for debate. Now, Matt, what's so
Speaker 2: interesting though, is that now the coalition's saying, given Elon
Speaker 2: Musk is going to have a senior role, we don't
Speaker 2: know exactly what in the Trump administration. This is yet
Speaker 2: another reason for Labor to dump the bill. Talk me
Speaker 2: through this.
Speaker 17: Well, look, I think this would be a much better
Speaker 17: step than worrying about, as I say, who lives in
Speaker 17: the ambassador residence in Washington, d C. This is going
Speaker 17: to have a much bigger I think impact and ten
Speaker 17: create tension with our relationship. Under this bill that the
Speaker 17: government is proposing, not only does it silence the speech
Speaker 17: of Australians, they are proposing too fine social media companies
Speaker 17: up to five percent of their global revenue. It is
Speaker 17: absolutely absurd. And this is not actually just about Elon Musk.
Speaker 17: Obviously that is an issue who he is very close
Speaker 17: to Donald Trump and he's the owner of x slash Twitter.
Speaker 17: But just the other week at Trump on the campaign
Speaker 17: trail was saying how he was outraged at the EU
Speaker 17: trying to find Apple twenty two billion dollars for various offenses,
Speaker 17: and he was going to take up the cause of
Speaker 17: Tim Cook if he became president again.
Speaker 1: So clearly Donald Trump is going.
Speaker 17: To defend the iNTS of American commercial companies as you'd
Speaker 17: expect him to do as the American president. And if
Speaker 17: we're serious about avoiding the impact of tariffs that Trump
Speaker 17: might put in place, we would take these sort of
Speaker 17: things off the table. As I said that, I'll have
Speaker 17: more impact I think than who rocks up to talk
Speaker 17: to the White House about Australian tariff. So the government
Speaker 17: should It was always unwise this bill, but the government
Speaker 17: should at least defer it right.
Speaker 1: Now and get the US relationship on solid ground.
Speaker 2: Jason, what do you think about the fact that Albin
Speaker 2: Ezi introduced this legislation for debate yesterday when everyone was
Speaker 2: focused on the US election.
Speaker 10: Yes, and while it's still off at committee, there are
Speaker 10: community groups in Australia for and against this that are
Speaker 10: still waiting to have their say, and they were offered
Speaker 10: that by the Parliament of Australia. So the bill is
Speaker 10: still being investigated at the moment and they've flopped it
Speaker 10: on the table and said, let's go for it.
Speaker 4: Let's take advantage of the situation.
Speaker 10: It says everything, and look the irony here the irony.
Speaker 10: We have the political class. Sorry, Matt, I'll give you
Speaker 10: an exemption just for a moment on this one. But
Speaker 10: the political class, notorious for lying, bullshitting to the public,
Speaker 10: that has the arrogance to want to introduce a bill
Speaker 10: to protect them from disinformation, and they're doing it under
Speaker 10: the cover the darkest, dirtiest political trick while the world's
Speaker 10: look in another way, everything about the class of people
Speaker 10: we have in that office.
Speaker 2: And as I've said before, we've seen the number of
Speaker 2: things that Anthony Albernezi himself has slapped the misinformation label on,
Speaker 2: things like, you know, people who disagreed with the voice
Speaker 2: that you know that was.
Speaker 10: Most of this show, Actually most of this show is disinformation.
Speaker 4: You can't help for Shari.
Speaker 2: Yeah, anything, well, you know, it's not even a joke.
Speaker 1: Actually, you're exempt is exempt?
Speaker 2: Well, there are that's.
Speaker 1: Not exactly just trying.
Speaker 2: That's not exactly correct, because if an individual shares content
Speaker 2: that was produced by the media, then I understand that
Speaker 2: individual could be true. It could be the ability.
Speaker 4: To go and figure this out for itself.
Speaker 10: It doesn't need Alban Easy or the righteous mob of
Speaker 10: Akhma or anyone like that to go around and do it.
Speaker 10: And we're sure as hell, we're sure as hell don't
Speaker 10: need legislation sort of put in the back door, the
Speaker 10: sly way, the dirty trainer and wants to see on
Speaker 10: the worst possible day, it's just not the way it's
Speaker 10: done here from the country first on this one and
Speaker 10: realize the errors of your way, because we're waiting.
Speaker 1: Australia is waiting.
Speaker 2: I'm going to say the situation is already bad enough.
Speaker 2: I mean, Matt Canavan, you know this. During the COVID pandemic,
Speaker 2: posts that were labeled misinformation and taken down included images
Speaker 2: that mocked down your Landrys.
Speaker 17: Exactly right. We remember you remember very well. So are
Speaker 17: you're in the thick of it.
Speaker 1: Posts that claim the virus came from a lab and
Speaker 1: we han't. We're classified.
Speaker 4: You've just got us off YouTube now mate, we won't
Speaker 4: be able.
Speaker 17: Still doing change that rule now, No, no's still doing
Speaker 17: it on.
Speaker 2: That issue, not on the COVID. That's not misinformation.
Speaker 10: Anyone pulling it down, it down COVID, COVID, COVID.
Speaker 17: Well, I'm sorry I've hit your monetization. I mean, it's
Speaker 17: it is just absurd. And Jason summed it up really well.
Speaker 17: We do not need an information sar looking over every
Speaker 17: one of Australian's shoulders. We're adults. We can assess for
Speaker 17: ourselves the veracity of information. Let's let a thousand flowers
Speaker 17: bloom and let people communicate freely.
Speaker 2: Exactly exactly now. I want to ask you both about
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris taking around fourteen hours after the election result
Speaker 2: became obvious before she eventually fronted the media. Jason, this
Speaker 2: was so offensive and then her speech, what did you
Speaker 2: make of it up? I didn't think it was great.
Speaker 2: I mean, what was she actually saying? You don't have
Speaker 2: to respect of believe in one president or one political party.
Speaker 2: You have to believe in the constitution. I mean, what
Speaker 2: messages that sending to Democrats?
Speaker 4: Yeah, well they never get the message.
Speaker 10: They're very slow learners, these people.
Speaker 4: That was disgraceful.
Speaker 10: The performance initially put aside her obligations to her country
Speaker 10: that had just made a very profound choice about where.
Speaker 4: It wanted to go with his future.
Speaker 10: The day before but then to do it to her
Speaker 10: support base and to show up with that contemptuous woffle
Speaker 10: this morning. The words salad of platitudes and all the
Speaker 10: lines she didn't get to use earlier in the campaign
Speaker 10: got churned out for the speech last I just thought
Speaker 10: it was disgraceful and it just confirms that she will
Speaker 10: go down in history as a footnote that people will
Speaker 10: forget and there'll be a trivial pursuit question one day,
Speaker 10: and that'll be Kamala Harrison.
Speaker 2: She could come back and take the party to another election.
Speaker 2: What do you think, Matt about the speech that she
Speaker 2: finally gave after not speaking to her supporters last night.
Speaker 17: Look, I didn't see the speech apart from the excerpts
Speaker 17: I heard earlier. Look, I suppose I'd like to focus
Speaker 17: on the positives today. I think it's been a positive
Speaker 17: week for the world. I think Donald Trump is the
Speaker 17: right choice, but it was always up to a Americans.
Speaker 17: He won emphatically, and I think that's something to celebrate.
Speaker 17: I was very worried about a close election either way
Speaker 17: and the tensions that may create in the US.
Speaker 1: It's a bit of a tinderbox, but no one has won.
Speaker 17: This is the largest electoral college result for Republicans since
Speaker 17: nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 1: We had that confirmed today.
Speaker 17: He's had massive swings right across the country, including in
Speaker 17: blue states. I think the Democrats will here try Look
Speaker 17: you can see some of them with the attorneyso on
Speaker 17: New York continuing trying to continue the battle through other
Speaker 17: means now, but I just think that'll probably fizz out.
Speaker 17: It's been such an emphatic victory that I think the
Speaker 17: vast majority of Americans will get behind the rehired president
Speaker 17: in Donald Trump. And that would be a great thing
Speaker 17: in the world if he could heal some of those
Speaker 17: divisions in unite are the most important country in.
Speaker 4: The free world.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, wish for thinking, but you never know. Matt Canavan,
Speaker 2: Jason Morrisen, great to see you both. Thank you all right,
Speaker 2: and that's Cross Live to New York, where Ross Greenwood,
Speaker 2: Sky News host joins us. Ross, you've been reporting doing
Speaker 2: such a fantastic job over in New York and massive
Speaker 2: news today. As we expected, there was a surge in
Speaker 2: the stock market. I mean, the best result in a
Speaker 2: single day in two years.
Speaker 18: Yeah, that's right, and that was really the response to
Speaker 18: Trump's victory is emphatic victory because to be honest, if
Speaker 18: he'd not had control of the House or control of
Speaker 18: the Senate, then the response on the markets would not
Speaker 18: have been as great. But what this is all about
Speaker 18: is Donald Trump being able to enact what he's been saying.
Speaker 18: And this is one of the keys, is that people
Speaker 18: have actually got to listen to Donald Trump, listen to
Speaker 18: his policies and understand that that is now going to
Speaker 18: come to pass. He will have nothing in the way
Speaker 18: to actually enact things such as cutting taxes, reducing taxes
Speaker 18: on tips, on overtime, on social services, and also cutting
Speaker 18: tax rates. And so what he's going to do is
Speaker 18: basically put more money in Americans hands, as he says,
Speaker 18: bring more industry back into the United States. Just one thing, also,
Speaker 18: is it today our time. There's going to be an
Speaker 18: interest rate decision from the Federal Reserve.
Speaker 4: And there's going to be an interst rate cut of.
Speaker 18: At least a quarter of a percent. So they cut
Speaker 18: by half a percent last month, quarter of a percent
Speaker 18: this month, adding more stimulus into the US economy. So really,
Speaker 18: in many ways the stock marketer is picking up this,
Speaker 18: but just a little heads up, and this is something
Speaker 18: for Australia to consider is that it's likely in the
Speaker 18: longer term, with Trump pumping more money in the US
Speaker 18: economy picks up, there will not be as many interest
Speaker 18: rate cuts as people are expecting, and that may very
Speaker 18: well transfer itself around the world and into Australia as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it could be slightly inflationary, is basically what you're saying. Ross.
Speaker 2: We've seen that. You know, Trump has been in our
Speaker 2: data today with phone calls from world leaders. But you've
Speaker 2: got I think some of those world leaders, if not
Speaker 2: all of them, will be getting nervous about the tariffs
Speaker 2: that he said he's going to introduce.
Speaker 18: Absolutely, of course they would be. Can you imagine China.
Speaker 18: He wants US sixty percent tariffs on goods coming in
Speaker 18: from China, and what that's about is trying to drive
Speaker 18: more businesses to invest in America. So the warning of
Speaker 18: a twenty five percent tariff on goods coming in from Mexico. Previously,
Speaker 18: the North American Free Trade Agreement has allowed goods to
Speaker 18: come in without any additional taxes from Mexico. But he's
Speaker 18: saying now, if you don't fix your borders, if you
Speaker 18: don't stop the flow of people across those borders, then
Speaker 18: we'll hit your goods with tariffs and really start to
Speaker 18: stemy your economy. For Australia, a ten percent tariff on
Speaker 18: all goods despite the fact that we have a free
Speaker 18: trade agreement with the United States. Now the way in
Speaker 18: which each individual country negotiates is going to also depend
Speaker 18: on a whole bunch of other stuff, including how much
Speaker 18: we spend on defense, and that's going to really trouble
Speaker 18: I think the government and Jim Charmers in terms of
Speaker 18: framing budgets now, and that's before the next election, because
Speaker 18: the reality is unless you're spending two percent of the
Speaker 18: budget here and in Europe, then the message is expect
Speaker 18: the United States to.
Speaker 1: Find a way to.
Speaker 18: Get you to pay in other ways, and that could
Speaker 18: be through tariffs. But remember that these tariffs will also
Speaker 18: drive down taxes in the United States, and that's another
Speaker 18: reason why the stock market, as we said, is stronger,
Speaker 18: and also the US dollar is stronger as well.
Speaker 2: I think the impact of the tariffs hasn't been thoroughly
Speaker 2: understood yet or there's a lot of conflicting views on
Speaker 2: how that will flow through the American economy. But ross interestingly,
Speaker 2: the IBA Governor was asked about how this could impact
Speaker 2: on Australia in cened estimates this morning. So let's have
Speaker 2: a look at what Michelle bullacat to say.
Speaker 19: Obviously, there's issues to do with elections, particularly the election
Speaker 19: in the United States. What happens there remains to be seen,
Speaker 19: so I think it to be early to judge what
Speaker 19: some of the implications of that might be. There are
Speaker 19: obviously people talking about the potential implications of tariffs and
Speaker 19: those sorts of things.
Speaker 2: So ross today, a federal Reserve decision in the United
Speaker 2: States expected to be the second interest rate cut as
Speaker 2: you've just flagged, and yet in Australia we've been on hold.
Speaker 2: We're not going to have an interest rate cut at
Speaker 2: least into well into next year. Why is Australia so
Speaker 2: far behind on this inflation path than overseas.
Speaker 4: It's pretty easy, isn't it. You work it out.
Speaker 18: The government spent a whole bunch of money, a lot.
Speaker 4: Of it off the books.
Speaker 18: They've actually tried to artificially bring down the price or
Speaker 18: the rate of inflation by handing out all of that
Speaker 18: cost of living relief. In other words, making people feel
Speaker 18: good about the government is what that's about. And then
Speaker 18: try and really muscle the Reserve Bank in the cutting
Speaker 18: interst rates which the Reserve.
Speaker 1: Bank is seeing through.
Speaker 18: And then consider wage rises in Australia's economy. This you know,
Speaker 18: when you saw more of them come through this week,
Speaker 18: the labor market strong. People are getting paid more money
Speaker 18: and the fact is that really that is adding to inflation.
Speaker 18: So while you've got this situation taking place in Australia,
Speaker 18: it really and the government has got controls of some
Speaker 18: of those leavers, it's not going to come down anytime soon.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 18: Australia's economy is going pretty sideways at the moment, and
Speaker 18: you'd reckon rather than handwringing at the moment, which many
Speaker 18: Australians seem to be doing post this US election, they'd
Speaker 18: be learning from the US election. They'd be actually understanding
Speaker 18: that the people are pretty angry with politicians who don't
Speaker 18: do something about the cost of living, who don't do
Speaker 18: something about actually allowing them to get on with their business,
Speaker 18: to encourage them to make more money, and to encourage
Speaker 18: business to get on and make a few more dollars
Speaker 18: as well.
Speaker 2: All Right, Russ Greenwood again, congrats on a terrific week
Speaker 2: covering the US election. We'll see you back here shortly
Speaker 2: now still to come. I'm going to be joined after
Speaker 2: the break by Paul Murray, and we'll look at just
Speaker 2: how the Democrats have started to do soul searching, how
Speaker 2: they're blaming everyone else but Kamala Harris. That's after the break,
Speaker 2: Welcome back. Well, as we've been speaking about, Democrats are
Speaker 2: now in a world of pain over the election result, sexism, racism,
Speaker 2: anything but their own candidate. We've also heard that from
Speaker 2: Democrat commentators across the board. Have they've all used the
Speaker 2: same line that Kamala Harris ran a flawless campaign. Well
Speaker 2: so flawless it delivered Donald Trump. Let's bring in our
Speaker 2: Sky News host Paul Murray live in Washington. Paul, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was certainly flawless from Trump's perspective. It's always fun
Speaker 2: watching the left wing meltdowns to fair elections. The excuses
Speaker 2: for why Trump one are coming in thick and fast,
Speaker 2: and we've even started to hear leaks from Joe Biden's
Speaker 2: camp that he would have done better than Kamala.
Speaker 14: See this is why I love you know we're on
Speaker 14: exactly the same page because this is where the story
Speaker 14: goes right, which is about the tension of Biden and Harris. Now,
Speaker 14: so to explain the structure of the campaign, basically, the
Speaker 14: entire machine that was there for Joe Biden, as soon
Speaker 14: as Kamala Harris became the candidate, all of that machine
Speaker 14: stayed in place. So obviously all of those people are
Speaker 14: loyal to Biden, so any attempts to have a strategy
Speaker 14: of throwing him under the bus, they were all going
Speaker 14: to resist it. But there was somebody who was put
Speaker 14: as the cherry on top for Kamala Harris.
Speaker 4: It was a man called David Pluff.
Speaker 14: Now, David Pluff is a former the bloke who put
Speaker 14: together the two thousand and eight and twenty twelve Obama victories,
Speaker 14: made an awful lot of money in the private sector
Speaker 14: and political advice since, and he sort of has sat
Speaker 14: back a little bit as kind of like you know,
Speaker 14: the perfect coach of the perfect team, all the rest
Speaker 14: of it, and sort of as sat back and he
Speaker 14: didn't get involved in Hillary.
Speaker 4: And for him to now.
Speaker 14: Be at the heart and soul of the Harris campaign,
Speaker 14: we now have the beginnings of the fight for the narrative,
Speaker 14: and it's the Obama camp versus the Biden camp versus
Speaker 14: the Harris camp. And when you were saying that, all
Speaker 14: the reporters all said the same thing at the same time.
Speaker 14: Guess what, we all know where they were getting their information,
Speaker 14: because of course they were all being spoon fared all
Speaker 14: the way through this campaign, all being spoon fed about
Speaker 14: fifty to fifty, all being spoon fed about oh ten
Speaker 14: percent of independence and late decider is just garbage, right
Speaker 14: that they knew that would be uncritically reported on the air.
Speaker 14: But yeah, so Biden will officially speak today. He's obviously
Speaker 14: going to walk away when people start to ask questions,
Speaker 14: but pay attention because the next couple of days we're
Speaker 14: going to start to really see that the campaign of
Speaker 14: Joey was not behind the scenes.
Speaker 2: No, one hundred percent. And you could see it in
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris's face today and obviously she's going to be disappointed,
Speaker 2: but it was beyond it was shattered, you know, clearly
Speaker 2: such a shark. And again we're seeing that in the
Speaker 2: leaks coming out to CNN. Report is just that shock
Speaker 2: that they didn't win. And you know what's so amazing
Speaker 2: is that there's this surprise that American voters actually cared
Speaker 2: about issues like inflation and immigration more than a fear
Speaker 2: campaign about Donald Trump's character. I mean, this is just
Speaker 2: a massive misunderstanding of regular families, isn't it, Paul.
Speaker 8: Well one hundred percent.
Speaker 14: And also it's a bit of an insight, and it
Speaker 14: can happen to politicians on all of the spectrum, but
Speaker 14: it is a particular feature of a certain type of
Speaker 14: politician that we have right now on the let's be
Speaker 14: polite and say center left, but most likely further out
Speaker 14: to the left. It's what we see in and around
Speaker 14: the people around elbow right, which is never admit a mistake,
Speaker 14: just never admit a mistake. But obviously, sir, you know
Speaker 14: the building behind you is on fire. No, no, no
Speaker 14: peaceful protests.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 14: This sort of Jedi mind trick stuff that they think
Speaker 14: that their incredible political science and all the rest of
Speaker 14: it means that they can somehow get you to believe,
Speaker 14: to not believe your eyes. And a perfect example of that,
Speaker 14: we say, let's go back to let's go back to
Speaker 14: when Biden is clearly you know, the computer ain't connected anymore,
Speaker 14: and you can start to see sort of, you know,
Speaker 14: those pupils getting bigger and bigger. Oh that's a cheap fake.
Speaker 14: I mean, that's a made up word. They literally made
Speaker 14: up words to distract from the reality of what was happening.
Speaker 14: And I think as well that that part of the
Speaker 14: part of the problem for Harris was Okay, let's let's
Speaker 14: imagine that you and I are in the same scenario. Okay,
Speaker 14: now you know you've been my vice president and I'm
Speaker 14: turning around and clearly I can't do the job. But
Speaker 14: imagine that we've been friends for four years, so much
Speaker 14: so that you're the vice president. Well, I would say
Speaker 14: to you, look, mate, I get it, do whatever you can,
Speaker 14: throw me under the bus. I just want you to win.
Speaker 14: But clearly that conversation never took place, and I think
Speaker 14: that's because there was a very poor relationship.
Speaker 4: Between these two.
Speaker 14: Remember ninety plus per cent of her staff walked out
Speaker 14: of her office. So you know, again, when you lose,
Speaker 14: everything that anyone's ever said that's bad about you is true,
Speaker 14: and when you win, everyone's a genius and every little thing.
Speaker 14: But I think today's story is this peak behind the
Speaker 14: curtain at at how chaotic things were, and surprise, surprise,
Speaker 14: the American voters could just see straight through it. They
Speaker 14: know they were being BS two, and they know that
Speaker 14: there was this performance of this happy, go lucky person
Speaker 14: who the second they got the worst possible news of
Speaker 14: losing an election said to tens of thousands of people
Speaker 14: who turned up, bugger off, I'll see it tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, And just the lack of substance. And really,
Speaker 2: I think Brett Bayer was the biggest journalistic star of
Speaker 2: this campaign because he was the only person who did
Speaker 2: a proper interview. Paul, by the way, I loved your
Speaker 2: idea of us being president and VP. Can you imagine
Speaker 2: if we were in charge of the world. I'm actually glad,
Speaker 2: actually glad we're not.
Speaker 14: Can you imagine? Can you imagine that sand you can
Speaker 14: hear is the media writers of the Guardians heads exploding
Speaker 14: it any suggestion on it.
Speaker 2: My number one thing would be helping Israel blow up
Speaker 2: Iran's nuclear site. So yeah, everyone wants to from the
Speaker 2: White House.
Speaker 8: Look at you already dreaming of having the button.
Speaker 14: It was a metaphor to tell a story, and you're
Speaker 14: playing out it anyway.
Speaker 1: God love you. I will serve the pleasure of the president.
Speaker 2: I think you were the president and I was your
Speaker 2: VP In that scenario. But anyway, Paul, you've got but.
Speaker 14: Then I was too old and then you replaced me.
Speaker 2: Okay, exactly, Paul. We're going to have more of your
Speaker 2: fun and sharp analysis at nine o'clock tonight. Again, your
Speaker 2: coverage has been just sensational. No one can miss it. Paul.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. We'll see you at nine. Thank
Speaker 2: you do Now still to come Turnbulls warning to alban
Speaker 2: Easy about Trump and how the ABC was devastated with
Speaker 2: Trump's when all of this and more after this quick break,
Speaker 2: welcome back. Well, the ABC is meant to be impartial,
Speaker 2: but it has a poor record when it comes to
Speaker 2: well virtually every topic, and its coverage of the US
Speaker 2: election has been no different. My colleague Chris Kenny did
Speaker 2: a brilliant job tonight in his editorial exposing ABC bias.
Speaker 2: Here's a little bit of what he had to say tonight,
Speaker 2: and he played a grab from John Lyons, a well
Speaker 2: known critic of Israel.
Speaker 20: He's very much building a campaign based on fear. It's
Speaker 20: fear of the enemy within, its fear of so called
Speaker 20: Venezuelan gangs who are with military grade weapons. It's fear
Speaker 20: of you know, this country being swamped. It's fear of
Speaker 20: the future versus Kamala Harris is very much building something
Speaker 20: looking at the future and hope. And so, to almost
Speaker 20: use a pun, the question is will will fear Trump
Speaker 20: hope fear versus hope?
Speaker 4: Listen to him?
Speaker 1: What planet is he on your text?
Speaker 2: Dollars sent that blog to Washington. And furthermore, it was
Speaker 2: actually Trump who was giving families hope for their future,
Speaker 2: while Kamala Harris was instilling fear about who she called
Speaker 2: a fascist Republican leader and the end of democracy and
Speaker 2: basically the end of days should Trump win. And by
Speaker 2: the way, if you missed Chris's show at five o'clock today,
Speaker 2: you have got to go back and watch the rest
Speaker 2: of that editorial on the media bias, because John Lyons
Speaker 2: did then go on to say how Trump's win would
Speaker 2: be devastating for Palestinians and for Lebanese people, whereas, in fact,
Speaker 2: as Chris pointed out, Trump's win is the best chance
Speaker 2: for regional peace, peace through strength, not through constant demands
Speaker 2: of a ceasefire, not through ultimatums, not through threatening not
Speaker 2: to send in a weapons and all the while giving
Speaker 2: billillions of dollars to Iran, which inevitably funds terrorism. To discuss,
Speaker 2: Let's bring in now, former defense intelligence analyst Paul Monk
Speaker 2: and senior fellow at the Menzies Research Center, Nick Cater.
Speaker 2: Paul and Nick. Wonderful to see you both. Nick. That
Speaker 2: sort of commentary from the ABC is atrocious, isn't it.
Speaker 2: I mean, saying that Americans had a choice between fear
Speaker 2: and hope when seventy two zero point six million people
Speaker 2: voted for Trump. I mean, how is that impartial?
Speaker 21: Is that really the best signs could do? I mean,
Speaker 21: it's such a cliche, isn't it. What does he actually
Speaker 21: mean fear and hope? It's just as you say, it's atrocious.
Speaker 21: It's what we come to expect from this particular bloke,
Speaker 21: John Lyons. I mean, you saw, you've seen his coverage
Speaker 21: out of the Middle East, and how biased that it
Speaker 21: is really towards the Palestinians and towards the Muslim Cause.
Speaker 1: It's really terrible.
Speaker 21: The job is done there, and thank goodness you you
Speaker 21: and over and did more in a week over there
Speaker 21: to correct the balance than he'd done in all the
Speaker 21: time he's spent there. I think it's enormously disappointing. It
Speaker 21: does go to show those showing that this US election
Speaker 21: touched a lot of nerves around the world, amongst people
Speaker 21: of shall we say, our woke disposition, who are now
Speaker 21: really nervous about this pushback and really insulting about the
Speaker 21: kind of people who vote for Donald Trump. And I
Speaker 21: guess the sort of people that would vote for Nigel
Speaker 21: Farage or even Peter Dunn't for that matter. They hate
Speaker 21: these people.
Speaker 2: I mean, Paul, And how do you read this? Do
Speaker 2: you think this is part of a perhaps even a
Speaker 2: global trend to reject this woke elite.
Speaker 4: Will.
Speaker 22: It'd certainly come to the surface strongly in this case.
Speaker 22: And if I may briefly just go back to the
Speaker 22: point that Nick was making, one would have expected of
Speaker 22: a serious national broadcast that the first thing they would
Speaker 22: have said is what an astonishing result.
Speaker 4: We got this wrong? All the polsters got it wrong again.
Speaker 4: How can that be? This is a profound.
Speaker 22: Question for any serious journalist to ask that instead they're
Speaker 22: simply lamenting it and siding with Kamala Harris's really, on
Speaker 22: the face of it, a scandal.
Speaker 4: So that'd be my first observation.
Speaker 22: Secondly, though, I think that it is that you've got
Speaker 22: to say a great demonstration of what democracy is about
Speaker 22: that this can happen. I mean, nobody can say that
Speaker 22: this election was fiddled. It was fair, it was free,
Speaker 22: it was meticulously recorded, and the American people made clear
Speaker 22: they knew very well who Donald Trump was, they'd had
Speaker 22: seen him before his president, and they voted in their
Speaker 22: tens of minutes for him. That should be what's been
Speaker 22: closely analyzed, not disparaged by any serious broadcaster.
Speaker 2: And that's why I think the personality attacks ultimately didn't work,
Speaker 2: because voters knew who they were getting. You know, there
Speaker 2: were no surprises there. Now let's have a look at
Speaker 2: former Prime Minister Malcolm Turbule. He came out today to
Speaker 2: one alban easy not to suck up to Trump. Have
Speaker 2: a look.
Speaker 13: I stood up to him, stood my ground in kurt
Speaker 13: Is wrath. One is respect, and then got very good
Speaker 13: outcomes for Australia. But that does require some determination and
Speaker 13: you know, some courage perhaps, but you've got to be
Speaker 13: You've got to be forthright, and so that personal relationship
Speaker 13: has got to be one grounded in respect. And what
Speaker 13: Trumps respects is strength. So if you suck up to Trump,
Speaker 13: you'll just get you just have to do more sucking up.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure about that, Nick, What do you think
Speaker 2: do you think? I think flattery probably would work a
Speaker 2: genuine respect more than having an argument.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 21: Look, it's a funny way I'm looking at it. Isn't
Speaker 21: it whether you suck up to him or whether you
Speaker 21: show weakness. I just hope that our Prime minister would
Speaker 21: go and represent Australia's interest very strongly. But also I
Speaker 21: think respect the respect the president for what he is.
Speaker 21: He's a man who represents the largest democracy or the
Speaker 21: most largest economy in the world, and the most powerful democracy,
Speaker 21: the greatest force for good of the last century. He
Speaker 21: deserves enormous respect. And what worries me I think about
Speaker 21: Albanesi and at some of the things he said, and
Speaker 21: indeed our ambassador Washington, Kevin Rudas, they haven't been very
Speaker 21: respective towards him.
Speaker 4: I think they need to be.
Speaker 2: Paul, what do you think is the best way for
Speaker 2: Australia to deal with the new administration.
Speaker 22: It seems to me what the Albanezi government needs to
Speaker 22: do is to demonstrate not by faming and.
Speaker 4: Not by ideological confrontation.
Speaker 22: If that's what meant is that's what Turble means by
Speaker 22: standing up to Trump or being strong, but rather by
Speaker 22: demonstrating indeeds as well as in words, that we are
Speaker 22: in fact a robust ally of the Pax Americana, that
Speaker 22: we see American's role in the world as supremely important.
Speaker 22: We don't regret our seventy years compromised by that alliance,
Speaker 22: and we do see that there are dangerous in the
Speaker 22: world at the moment. We want to stand with the
Speaker 22: US in buttressing that world order.
Speaker 4: That we wouldn't respect. I feel confident in saying.
Speaker 2: Just on a local politics topic, the Albanezy government's going
Speaker 2: to convene a special national Cabinet meeting tomorrow to raise
Speaker 2: the age of social media to sixteen. Have a look.
Speaker 15: The onners will be on social media platforms to demonstrate
Speaker 15: they are taking reasonable steps to prevent access. The owners
Speaker 15: won't be on parents or young people. There will be
Speaker 15: no penalties for users.
Speaker 23: What our approach does helps to achieve a balance between
Speaker 23: minimizing those harms that are caused by young people accessing
Speaker 23: social media while still enabling connection and inclusion.
Speaker 2: Nick most parents will welcome this move, but we still
Speaker 2: don't have the detail on how this is actually going
Speaker 2: to work.
Speaker 21: No, and I think parents have the central role to
Speaker 21: play here, and what the government should be doing is
Speaker 21: pushing the social media companies, particularly Apple and Google, who
Speaker 21: control the apps, to give parents access and control over
Speaker 21: what their children are doing online. This has been lacking
Speaker 21: up to now. Up to now, it's been easier for
Speaker 21: an employer to get control over what his employee is
Speaker 21: doing online than it has been for a parent. This
Speaker 21: has to change, and I think the pressure on big
Speaker 21: tech needs to be to empower parents to take the
Speaker 21: primary role in looking after their children online.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think it's very difficult if you
Speaker 2: leave it up to parents because peer pressure comes into it,
Speaker 2: and no parent wants their child to be left out
Speaker 2: of the social circle. So I think I've got a
Speaker 2: different view on that, Paul. Just another topic related to
Speaker 2: social media. We saw today that Canada took action to
Speaker 2: band TikTok. Australia still hasn't done.
Speaker 4: This, Yes, and it raises fascinating issues.
Speaker 22: And I would have thought that because TikTok is grounded
Speaker 22: in Beijing, because like all Chinese companies, it is penetrated
Speaker 22: by the Communist Party and it's used to pick up
Speaker 22: data about people. We shouldn't be in doubt about that.
Speaker 22: Then it's a problem for the Western democracy. So if
Speaker 22: we're trying to sort out the way in which we're
Speaker 22: going to relate to China in commercial terms, we should
Speaker 22: be looking very seriously at that kind of issue.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, all right, Nick Hater, Paul Monk, really appreciate
Speaker 2: your insights. Now still to come. Ray Hardley's shock news
Speaker 2: today that he's leaving the air waves. His voice is
Speaker 2: a huge loss. My thoughts after the break well sad
Speaker 2: news today that Ray Hardley has called time and he's
Speaker 2: more than forty year career. The two GB host announced
Speaker 2: he was leaving his gig live on air this morning.
Speaker 8: My children Dan, Laura, Emma and Sarah have made sacrifices
Speaker 8: over the years for me to realize my ambitions. Seven
Speaker 8: years ago I had no grand children. Now I have seven.
Speaker 8: I want to spend more time in the company of Avat, Noah, Ella, Lala, Tommy,
Speaker 8: Remi and Miller, along with him, Um and Dad. Over
Speaker 8: three years ago I married the master amating woman, Sophie.
Speaker 8: Forever eighteen years, she's been my colleague. Now she's the
Speaker 8: most supportive, coming, loving wife anyone could ask for, and
Speaker 8: she deserves a break. If I copied in the newspaper
Speaker 8: on other media, she gets more upset than I do.
Speaker 2: Now. Ray's career has been amazing. He actually started out
Speaker 2: as a taxi driver. It was a chance meeting with
Speaker 2: a two UI news director in nineteen eighty that led
Speaker 2: to his radio career and since he took over as
Speaker 2: breakfast as morning host on two GB, he's unbeaten and unbeatable.
Speaker 2: He's won one hundred and sixty consecutive ratings surveys. He
Speaker 2: was inducted into the Acohol of Fame back in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2: He's the most awarded broadcaster in the history of the ACRAS.
Speaker 2: But most importantly to me, since October seven, Ray has
Speaker 2: been a really strong voice on anti Semitism, an ally
Speaker 2: of the Jewish community. He hasn't been recognized enough for this.
Speaker 2: He didn't do it because it was easy. He did
Speaker 2: it because it was the right thing to do. I've
Speaker 2: personally been so grateful for his support. I don't know
Speaker 2: what we're going to do without his strong voice on
Speaker 2: these critical issues every single morning. He deserves more credit
Speaker 2: for this. I wish he wasn't leaving Ray Hadley and
Speaker 2: by the way, he's going to be on with Paul
Speaker 2: Murray in a moment. I'll see you all on Monday
Speaker 2: at eight o'clock. Thank you for watching this week. And
Speaker 2: here's Paul
