Speaker 1: From the Skying Center.
Speaker 2: This is Paul Murray Live. Yeah, thank you, Jenji said yourself.
Speaker 2: All right, plenty to talk about on tonight's show, looking
Speaker 2: forward to it. But I want to get to something
Speaker 2: which is a little bit of a reminder about a
Speaker 2: job we've all got to do this weekend. Thankfully, the
Speaker 2: weather is getting warmer as we make our way towards spring,
Speaker 2: but we all know what comes after and that is
Speaker 2: yet again summer and bushfires. But what does always happen
Speaker 2: in spring is that there are going to be some
Speaker 2: bushfire breakouts between now and the official start of summer,
Speaker 2: and a collection of fire commissioners have been meeting in
Speaker 2: Sydney this week where they released a map of where
Speaker 2: the bushfire worries are for spring. We don't have an
Speaker 2: image yet about what the plan is and picture is
Speaker 2: for summer, but as you can see, there is significant
Speaker 2: problems which look like they're going to be on their
Speaker 2: way this spring in Queensland, the Northern Territory as well
Speaker 2: particular worries there in lower western Victoria. Here is many
Speaker 2: of the fire commissioners who will have to be dealing
Speaker 2: with all of this, explaining what their concerns are in
Speaker 2: your state. Well, conditions went through our summer period.
Speaker 3: There are ideal conditions for growth, and we've got significant
Speaker 3: vegetation growth that is cured with a dryer than average winter.
Speaker 2: That is our highest risk for the state. That's not
Speaker 2: to say there might be bushfire risk elsewhere, but that
Speaker 2: is our significant concert at the mind.
Speaker 4: We don't see meaningful rainfall through spring that we will
Speaker 4: go into summer having had a dry spring, a dry winter,
Speaker 4: and a dry.
Speaker 3: Aughtly takes a couple of warm days, strong winds and
Speaker 3: we have fires that start threatening properties.
Speaker 2: Now, community service time, the same way that I told
Speaker 2: you in the absolute depths of winter to make sure
Speaker 2: your blankets are nowhere near heaters. Thankfully, lots of people
Speaker 2: followed that and we did not end up with the
Speaker 2: house fire situation we were concerned about. This weekend, find
Speaker 2: a couple of hours to go around the house, clean
Speaker 2: up the leaves, take the crap off the roof, clean
Speaker 2: out the gutters. I know It's what I'm going to
Speaker 2: be doing this weekend. If that mental image is not
Speaker 2: enough for you, here is one of the people again
Speaker 2: at that conference, reminding us now is the time, not
Speaker 2: when the fire is upon us. To try to make
Speaker 2: sure your joint is as safe as possible. And here's
Speaker 2: a take. People need to get in, sit down with
Speaker 2: your family, make a plan if you're in a bush
Speaker 2: fire prime area, or you're planning over Christmas to go
Speaker 2: to go on holidays into a bushfire prime area. All right,
Speaker 2: let's get to Canberra. Bill Shorden has of course pulled
Speaker 2: the pin. He won't go immediately, but he won't be
Speaker 2: contesting the next election. He will be starting a new
Speaker 2: job in the world of academia and the media, who
Speaker 2: of course always believed he should have been Prime minister
Speaker 2: because they predicted it in twenty nineteen, well they swooned
Speaker 2: the news of this potential prime minister who sadly never
Speaker 2: quite made it.
Speaker 5: The leadership potential of the then Australian Workers' Unions National
Speaker 5: secretary evidence even before he entered politics.
Speaker 4: Been a constant throughout two turbulent decades of Australian politics.
Speaker 1: Ending seventeen years in Parliament, a minister in three Labor governments,
Speaker 1: Labor leader for six years ron he hit people's TV
Speaker 1: screens as the impressive union leader during the Beaconsfield mind disaster.
Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, the Beaconsfield mind thing. I was
Speaker 2: there too. You may see the microphone in all of
Speaker 2: that which was being held up for triple m Well
Speaker 2: that was me way back when. Yes, I have a
Speaker 2: past two didn't have a bear back then, but many
Speaker 2: days since then. I have, of course disagreed with almost
Speaker 2: everything that Bill Shorten has put before the Australian public.
Speaker 2: But of course I wish him nothing but the best
Speaker 2: in real life. Good luck to him. However, the job
Speaker 2: that he's going to, there's some questions that need to
Speaker 2: be answered here. You see, he is going off to
Speaker 2: the University of Canberra. We know that he'll be earning
Speaker 2: apparently about a million dollars a year, and he will
Speaker 2: be the vice chancellor. In fact, here he is explaining
Speaker 2: the job that he is going off to. But between
Speaker 2: now and then he will still be a minister sitting
Speaker 2: around a cabinet table that, among other things, will discuss
Speaker 2: university funding. Nothing to see here, right.
Speaker 3: I'm excited to say that from February of next year,
Speaker 3: I've been chosen to be the vice chancellor of the
Speaker 3: University of Canberra. Education is the modern means of taking
Speaker 3: someone from disadvantage to advantage in a way that no
Speaker 3: other methods can and universities have a critical role to play.
Speaker 2: Good luck to However, there's again some questions to answer
Speaker 2: him now for him to be able to announce the
Speaker 2: job that he did today, presumably he wasn't offered it yesterday.
Speaker 2: Presumably he negotiated his contract and at some point had
Speaker 2: to fill out a piece of paper to apply for
Speaker 2: the job. When did that happen? Did the Prime Minister
Speaker 2: know from the second that he was either offered a
Speaker 2: job or was open to becoming a candidate for the job,
Speaker 2: Because there are plenty of examples when this happens on
Speaker 2: the other side where everyone wants to follow every little
Speaker 2: detail to make sure that everything is above board. But
Speaker 2: to give you an idea about just how tight everything
Speaker 2: is in Canberra, I want to tell you one of
Speaker 2: the people who is at the University of canber Her
Speaker 2: name is Lisa Paul, and Lisa Paul is the chancellor.
Speaker 2: Bill Shorten will end up being the vice chancellor. Now,
Speaker 2: how incredibly convenient that of all of the people in
Speaker 2: all of the country that Bill Shorten chose to do
Speaker 2: an inquiry into the ndis that he chose Lisa Paul. Here,
Speaker 2: in fact, is her bio from the NDIS Independent Commission,
Speaker 2: and that's her buyer. Now. Interestingly as well, before she
Speaker 2: became the chancellor of Camberra University, before she was given
Speaker 2: the side hustle by Bill Shorten, she was the head
Speaker 2: of a federal government department. In fact, she'd been the
Speaker 2: head of many federal government departments during the previous rud
Speaker 2: Gillard Rudd years, including a small period of time in
Speaker 2: the Education Department where during the Rudd Gillard Rudd years,
Speaker 2: Bill Shorten was a minister. Now again I have to
Speaker 2: be very clear just in case by lawyers are puckering
Speaker 2: as we speak. I'm not suggesting anything untoward. I am
Speaker 2: just showing you a perfect example of the Canberra bubble.
Speaker 2: The public servant becomes the head of the university. The
Speaker 2: head of the university does the inquiry for the Labor government.
Speaker 2: The head of the university overseas the position of vice chancellor,
Speaker 2: which goes to the current Labor Minister. But of course
Speaker 2: the history of Bill Shorton is obvious. Bill Shorten thought
Speaker 2: he was going to be the prime minister because everyone
Speaker 2: told him he was going to be the prime minister,
Speaker 2: apart from us in twenty nineteen, no doubt a deep
Speaker 2: personal and political disappointment, but who cares The Australian people
Speaker 2: were taken for granted? How did we know? Because remember
Speaker 2: the day before that election, he wasn't out about in campaigning.
Speaker 2: He was on the biers with Daniel Andrews and among others,
Speaker 2: celebrating Bob Hawk, who had passed away around the same
Speaker 2: period of time. He thought the election was in the
Speaker 2: bag and it was time for the labor legend to
Speaker 2: align himself with other labor legends because he was of
Speaker 2: course going to become the Australian Prime Minister and thus
Speaker 2: say labor legend. But the reality about Bill Shorton is
Speaker 2: a rule that is kind of the same in showbiz
Speaker 2: as it is about politics, which is be careful how
Speaker 2: you become famous. Now people think that he became famous
Speaker 2: at the Beaconsfield Mine, sure, but about ten years later
Speaker 2: he became famous as the faceless Man. Remember the faceless
Speaker 2: man who was working the numbers to get rid of
Speaker 2: Julia Gillard and then eventually to put back Kevin Rudd.
Speaker 2: And then he was also famous for completely agreeing with
Speaker 2: Julia Gillard even though he had no idea what Julia
Speaker 2: Gillard had actually said.
Speaker 3: I understand that the Prime Minister's addressed this in a
Speaker 3: press conference in Turkey in the last few hours. I
Speaker 3: haven't seen what she said, but let me say I
Speaker 3: support what it is that she said. Hang on, you
Speaker 3: haven't seen what she said, but I support what my
Speaker 3: prime minister said. So what's your view on my view
Speaker 3: is what the Prime Minister's view is, Okay.
Speaker 2: And then there's the grab that we have delighted in
Speaker 2: over many years and we had to reach all the
Speaker 2: way back to the VHS era to buy the dust
Speaker 2: off it. But remember when Bill Shorton was the Opposition
Speaker 2: leader and he was dancing in Pacific Island Nations and
Speaker 2: then he saw that somebody wasn't wearing a top. So
Speaker 2: we turned away roll this one. But of course no
Speaker 2: one will ask any of the questions that I just did.
Speaker 2: But just the Camber bubble incredible now in terms of
Speaker 2: worries that Australians have being able to keep their own
Speaker 2: home right now because of what's happening. When it comes
Speaker 2: to interest rates in the overall economy, it'd have to
Speaker 2: be up there as one of the biggest. Certainly, I
Speaker 2: know that lots of my mates, regardless of how much
Speaker 2: their house is worth. Have all noticed well and truly
Speaker 2: that interest rates have gone up a dozen times since
Speaker 2: Anthony Albernezi became the Prime Minister and Jim Charmers became
Speaker 2: the great passenger and observer the Australian economy, and there
Speaker 2: are a lot of people that are doing it tough
Speaker 2: because of those repayments. We learned today that a million
Speaker 2: Victorian households are found to be in mortgage or rend stress.
Speaker 2: This means that you are paying way more for rent
Speaker 2: or paying off your house than you should be. Generally speaking,
Speaker 2: it should only be about a third of your wage.
Speaker 2: Anything above that, certainly once you start getting to a
Speaker 2: half or even more than that, which again some of
Speaker 2: my mates have ended up in that scenario. Well, Michelle
Speaker 2: Bullock is now saying that the people who are in
Speaker 2: mortgage stress, the people who are finding it difficult to
Speaker 2: pay off the house at the moment because of those
Speaker 2: high interest rates that are high because of in part
Speaker 2: the actions of the federal government. Well she's got a
Speaker 2: blunt message. There's a chance they'll keep going up and
Speaker 2: if you are in that sort of mortgage stress, don't
Speaker 2: wait for them to come down. It might be time
Speaker 2: to sell the house you're living in. What a frightening.
Speaker 6: Prospect For our occupies with very rate loans, which is
Speaker 6: a subset of all borrowers, we estimate that around five
Speaker 6: percent are in a particularly challenging situation now. Although this
Speaker 6: group is fit really small overall, those in it have
Speaker 6: to make some quite painful adjustments to avoid falling behind
Speaker 6: on their mortgagey payments. This includes things like cutting back
Speaker 6: on their spending to the more essential items, trading down
Speaker 6: to lower quality goods and services, dipping into their savings,
Speaker 6: or working extra hours, and some may ultimately have to
Speaker 6: make the very difficult choice to sell their home now.
Speaker 2: Of course Jim Chalmers will say this is great because
Speaker 2: it's her delivering the bad message, but of course it's
Speaker 2: his bad economy. Take your pick. The amount that we
Speaker 2: export versus the amount that we import, which is now
Speaker 2: in the wrong spot, the value of the Australian dollar
Speaker 2: which is in the wrong spot, the six quarters in
Speaker 2: a row of a per capita recession which is the
Speaker 2: wrong spot for the best part of eighteen months. And
Speaker 2: an economy in terms of growth that is like an
Speaker 2: idling car that because it's badly tuned slightly rolls forward
Speaker 2: at the lights. Again, not the position that other countries
Speaker 2: like the United States of the United Kingdom are in
Speaker 2: let alone places like Canada or Japan. So if anyone
Speaker 2: thinks that rates are about to be cut anytime soon,
Speaker 2: it of course would be the Treasurer and the Prime Minister.
Speaker 2: The assumption is that the thirteenth interesstrate rise would become
Speaker 2: what is politically difficult for the government. But my argument
Speaker 2: and my understanding, my lived experience, your lived experience, is
Speaker 2: that the interest rate python, which has been squeezing people
Speaker 2: to rabina purple, was bad at twelve eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven,
Speaker 2: six interst rate rises. For guess what, there may be
Speaker 2: a chance of another interstrate rise, that thirteenth that the
Speaker 2: press gallery say is going to be a problem, when
Speaker 2: the rest of us in the real world have known
Speaker 2: that there's been a problem way longer than the thirteenth.
Speaker 2: Here again is Michelle Bullock talking about the reality that
Speaker 2: inflation in Australia should be between two and three percent.
Speaker 2: It is currently closer to four percent than it is
Speaker 2: three percent, meaning rates up again.
Speaker 7: Maybe so the board's message following its meeting only a
Speaker 7: few weeks ago was that it's premature to be thinking
Speaker 7: about rate.
Speaker 2: Cuts and when does inflation go back to between two
Speaker 2: and three percent the agreed position of both federal government
Speaker 2: and Reserve Bank, regardless of all of the other garbage. Well,
Speaker 2: this long is how you're going to have to wait,
Speaker 2: and how long we're all still going to be paying
Speaker 2: more for what we were already paying more for last
Speaker 2: year and already paying almost double more than two years ago.
Speaker 7: Now in our Central August forecast, underlying inflation is expected
Speaker 7: to back in the target range by the end of
Speaker 7: next year and to approach the midpoint in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: Now to further underline my point about how serious this
Speaker 2: situation is and how beyond the thirteenth will be the problem,
Speaker 2: and why the twelfth, the eleventh to tenth, all of
Speaker 2: those are the problem. Why the five percent of people
Speaker 2: who may will be right in the whole one may
Speaker 2: have to sell their house. Now, remember, selling your house
Speaker 2: if it's worth an awful lot of money and you've
Speaker 2: got money left over, may well open up the opportunity
Speaker 2: of buying another house somewhere else. But for many people
Speaker 2: it won't result in either enough money. If you're borrowed
Speaker 2: to the hilt to be able to have enough of
Speaker 2: a deposit, let alone to qualify for another homeland somewhere else.
Speaker 2: So then you start talking about the rental market. Well,
Speaker 2: the rental market, of course now is less than one
Speaker 2: percent of all available rental properties actually being available in
Speaker 2: the capital cities and in regional areas too, as I've
Speaker 2: often pointed out an example of this, which is that say, Ipswich,
Speaker 2: beautiful Lipswich, west of Brisbane. It's still a commute if
Speaker 2: you've got to go into Brizzi, but it's close enough
Speaker 2: if you want to go for a drive the best
Speaker 2: part of what forty minutes. More than one hundred and
Speaker 2: twenty people turn out up to rental inspections there to
Speaker 2: look for one property. The numbers way bigger in Sydney,
Speaker 2: Melbourne and central Brisbane, let alone what's going on right
Speaker 2: now in Adelaide, Perth and Hobart. So today we've got
Speaker 2: some information from the University of Technology in Sydney UTS
Speaker 2: very left wing university. To check out their media program,
Speaker 2: which is essentially three years of learning white our paid
Speaker 2: Sky News. But anyway, they did a research project talking
Speaker 2: about people who are in the band where it is
Speaker 2: hard to pay off your house, hard to pay rent,
Speaker 2: have a look at this. In the past two years,
Speaker 2: seventy percent of people say that they have experienced a
Speaker 2: rent increase. That is up by seven percent compared to
Speaker 2: this time last year. Nineteen percent said that their lease
Speaker 2: had been terminated or not renewed. That's up six percent.
Speaker 2: The people who had to move house because of the
Speaker 2: house they were in was to expensive, so therefore they
Speaker 2: moved to a cheaper one is up four percent in
Speaker 2: twelve months to eighteen percent. Sixteen percent of people had
Speaker 2: to move in with their family, and people who experienced
Speaker 2: homelessness was seven percent of those that they had talked to.
Speaker 2: Australia has more homeless people today than it did at
Speaker 2: the census, and at the census it was the biggest
Speaker 2: number we had ever had. That was in twenty twenty one. Meantime,
Speaker 2: about the cost of housing, people who could not make
Speaker 2: at least one payment, that being a payment for your
Speaker 2: mortgage or your rent, sixty five percent of people that
Speaker 2: they had spoken to, up six percent in the past
Speaker 2: three years could not pay the utility bill on time
Speaker 2: half that's up nine percent. Could not afford to travel
Speaker 2: for essential reasons forty four percent up seven could not
Speaker 2: make a minimum payment on a credit card thirty seven percent,
Speaker 2: and could not pay mortgage or rent on time thirty
Speaker 2: five percent. This is why I talk about cost of
Speaker 2: living every night. I talk about it every night because
Speaker 2: it is a problem. It is a genuine source of
Speaker 2: concern for a huge amount of people around Australia. The
Speaker 2: government wants to pretend nothing to see here. It's all
Speaker 2: international factors, bull dust one more hue. Where do people
Speaker 2: go for help when they're in these sorts of financial straits.
Speaker 2: They sought the financial assistance of a family member or
Speaker 2: a friend forty six percent of people up seven percent.
Speaker 2: They use those by now pay later things for essential
Speaker 2: goods like food forty one percent. People who pawned or
Speaker 2: sold something off because they needed the cash now is
Speaker 2: up almost ten percent, thirty nine percent of people in
Speaker 2: the past couple of years. Yet the Prime Minister and
Speaker 2: his passenger treasurer, well, we know they think everything's great
Speaker 2: and the song playing in there head is. But in
Speaker 2: the real world, most people can hear the pounding of
Speaker 2: their heart as they try to work out how the
Speaker 2: hell they're going to make it through next week, next month,
Speaker 2: let alone next to you. Despite the fact that Australia
Speaker 2: is just one percent of global emissions. This is not
Speaker 2: me denying climate change, its existence or human involvement and
Speaker 2: it you can't have eight billion people on the planet
Speaker 2: without doing something to the atmosphere. But Australia is one
Speaker 2: one percent of global emissions. Here is a helpful graft
Speaker 2: to remind you of how we compare to the rest
Speaker 2: of the world. As I've shown you this by the way,
Speaker 2: it comes from the Union of Concerned Scientists, not the
Speaker 2: right wing think tank. China is about a third of
Speaker 2: what the world has to deal with right now. The
Speaker 2: Third World is again a significant number, as is Russia
Speaker 2: and India. Yes, the United States a big picture in it.
Speaker 2: But Australia is the one that absolutely must do something
Speaker 2: despite the fact that, as I've told you a trillion
Speaker 2: times before, Australia, even if we stopped everything and we
Speaker 2: went back to whatever green dream Adam Bant may have
Speaker 2: in the middle of the night, the pollution that comes
Speaker 2: out of China would replace everything Australia does in one year,
Speaker 2: in sixteen days. That was the IPA with their study.
Speaker 2: A couple of years ago, and despite the fact that
Speaker 2: it is China who is building more coal fire power
Speaker 2: plants and in actual fact is responsible for ninety five
Speaker 2: percent of all new coal fire power construction in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty three, it is Australia who absolutely must solve the
Speaker 2: climate crisis. One percent of the climate crisis now in
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen Australians no, no, no, forty three percent, sorry, forty
Speaker 2: five percent target of Bill Shorten. That's too much. But
Speaker 2: then because interests, because our power bills, we're going to
Speaker 2: fall by two hundred and seventy five dollars and hundreds
Speaker 2: of thousands of new jobs will be created. Apparently just
Speaker 2: two percent three years later was the perfect place where
Speaker 2: out the Albanezi was able to get himself elected. Of course,
Speaker 2: the Duton opposition says they're not going to play the
Speaker 2: twenty thirty game because the main game is net zero
Speaker 2: by twenty fifty. But there is something that happens between
Speaker 2: two thousand and thirty, which is the forty three percent
Speaker 2: mark and net zero of twenty fifty, and that is
Speaker 2: countries like Australia having to go even deeper, even harder
Speaker 2: on the expectations of climate cuts for two thousand and
Speaker 2: thirty five. Now, interestingly, we read today that the announcement
Speaker 2: from the Albanese government may well conveniently be delayed until
Speaker 2: potentially after the election. About just how high that target
Speaker 2: will move from forty three percent, And in part that's
Speaker 2: because we're standing by to see what's happening in the
Speaker 2: United States. Now, let's be very clear, Kamala Harris is
Speaker 2: part of an administration that has gone hard trying to
Speaker 2: push down numbers. When it comes to the climbing emissions
Speaker 2: of the United States. Trump would pull out of the
Speaker 2: Paris Agreement because China is not held to the same
Speaker 2: account as the United States, and China produces more pollution
Speaker 2: than the United States. So obviously who ends up winning
Speaker 2: that election will matter because one percent of the world
Speaker 2: deciding to go hard when half of the world isn't. Well,
Speaker 2: you see the problem there, because you see the atmosphere
Speaker 2: is global, not just local. We can't solve the weather
Speaker 2: here in Australia. But to give you an idea of
Speaker 2: if this goverment goes into a minority after the next election,
Speaker 2: and then they will have to set a target after
Speaker 2: the next election. These are the targets that the people
Speaker 2: who will hold together the Parliament, the Greens and the
Speaker 2: tea ULLs, would demand by twenty thirty five. They don't
Speaker 2: want the Greens and net zero by twenty fifty, they
Speaker 2: want it by twenty thirty five. The Teals don't want
Speaker 2: forty three percent by twenty thirty, they want it to
Speaker 2: be amped to seventy five percent by twenty thirty five.
Speaker 2: That minority government is seemingly inevitable as Labours two party
Speaker 2: prefer vote falls and their primary vote falls. So the
Speaker 2: likelihood or the best case scenario for Labor is to
Speaker 2: pretend that they don't have a target going into twenty
Speaker 2: thirty five, to have an election in twenty twenty five,
Speaker 2: and then because the Greens tell them they have to
Speaker 2: do it all, they'll lose government, producing a number way
Speaker 2: wilder than anything that Australians been willing to accept at
Speaker 2: a ballot box any time in Australian political history. Nothing
Speaker 2: to see here, right, That's why your vote matters. That's
Speaker 2: why your preferences matter too. On this show, we back
Speaker 2: the Blue, as they say in the US, we back police.
Speaker 2: It's the hardest job that people have is to work
Speaker 2: in the emergency services and we always support police, which
Speaker 2: is why I read interestingly today that police in Victoria
Speaker 2: have now started to begin industrial action against the far
Speaker 2: left Allen Labor government in Victoria. Are they striking, No,
Speaker 2: but they're starting to put messages on the police cars
Speaker 2: that if they are needed to turn up in your
Speaker 2: part of the world, will turn up in your part
Speaker 2: of the world. It says, among other things, new train
Speaker 2: stations open, but police stations close. Under labor, they demand
Speaker 2: that there's an end of the wage theft towards police.
Speaker 2: You're going to see a lot of this in the
Speaker 2: next little while because police want a pay rise, and
Speaker 2: I say they deserve a pay rise, whatever number they want,
Speaker 2: give it to them and do not complain because these
Speaker 2: are the people who are holding a state together.
Speaker 4: Just morale is hopeless in policing. I've really seen it worse,
Speaker 4: to be quite honest. If you've got the money for
Speaker 4: other workers, then clearly you should find it for the
Speaker 4: people that come to work every day to keep you safe.
Speaker 2: Now again, remember a couple of years ago when all
Speaker 2: of the lefties were wringing their hands and screaming as
Speaker 2: loud as they possibly could because Australia didn't have enough
Speaker 2: rat tests or PPE gear, even though of course we
Speaker 2: ended up with enough of both, in fact millions of
Speaker 2: them that we didn't really need in the end were
Speaker 2: Something far more serious is the situation that has been
Speaker 2: unfolding in the past couple of months in and around
Speaker 2: the stuff that you need to keep people alive. Australia
Speaker 2: at one point was running out of IV drips. People
Speaker 2: were being told to drink water to get themselves through
Speaker 2: their hospital stays to keep their hydration up as opposed
Speaker 2: to the hydration coming from the salty bag. That also
Speaker 2: then led to scenarios where vets were having to ration
Speaker 2: the supply, meaning that the animals that we care most
Speaker 2: for or some had their surgeries delayed. Inevitably, some may
Speaker 2: will have lost their lives. The government eventually got on
Speaker 2: top of it, claiming that they've got twenty two million
Speaker 2: bags coming, but they did it after people have blown
Speaker 2: the whistle, not in preparation for these problems. The IV
Speaker 2: situation then moved into another shortage, which was that Australia
Speaker 2: apparently still has a shortage of morphine, desperately necessary, particularly
Speaker 2: in palliative care. But we all know how morphine can
Speaker 2: be used to deal with a lot of other issues.
Speaker 2: But again this government didn't have enough on supply, and
Speaker 2: now I want to get to a drug that literally
Speaker 2: could well be again an example of serious illness or
Speaker 2: being able to go about your day. It is a
Speaker 2: drug which is referred to as PREP. It is something
Speaker 2: that saves people from developing HIV. The story this week
Speaker 2: is that HIV prevention medication PREP is now in short supply.
Speaker 2: How to explain this one to you? The Therapeutic Goods
Speaker 2: Administration confirmed in news dot com that are You and
Speaker 2: other news outlets in the past couple of days that
Speaker 2: it is aware of shortages of multiple brands of official
Speaker 2: medical name for PREP. Now. PREP is effective in ninety
Speaker 2: nine percent of cases of people not developing HIV. PREP
Speaker 2: is a medication used to reduce the risk of sexually
Speaker 2: acquired HIV. This is for adults that are in high risk.
Speaker 2: A recent study revealed seventy thousand people in Australia had
Speaker 2: been dispensed PREP between twenty eighteen and twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2: What is going on when our government runs out of
Speaker 2: IV drips, morphine or drugs that could stop people getting aid?
Speaker 2: If you are in any of those categories. Make sure
Speaker 2: you're ring ahead and find whatever supply you possibly can.
Speaker 2: Don't hoard, but find the supplies you possibly can. Obviously,
Speaker 2: do everything you can to keep yourself safe. Do you
Speaker 2: not need any of those things? But right now that's
Speaker 2: a concern. Now there is still some of this stuff
Speaker 2: that is around in Australia, but it's not as much
Speaker 2: as we should be having. And the idea that I
Speaker 2: even have to tell you about this stuff is a disgrace.
Speaker 2: But does that surprise you. There is one less seat
Speaker 2: for the Labor Party after changes to the electoral boundaries
Speaker 2: going into the twenty twenty five election. Presumably we're not
Speaker 2: going to have one earlier than that, and it is
Speaker 2: the seat of Higgins. This of course was formally, among others,
Speaker 2: Peter Costello's old seat in the Parliament. Decision was made
Speaker 2: today that that seat will now be abolished. That this
Speaker 2: means Labor will potentially have one less seat going into
Speaker 2: an election, where as I said before, they're most likely
Speaker 2: headed towards minority government. And while Labour loses a seat,
Speaker 2: it looks like Fanny Bay in Darwin, the beautiful location
Speaker 2: in Darwin. Well, it's all pretty beautiful but Fanny Bay
Speaker 2: in Darwin is about to produce a Greens MP, the
Speaker 2: first Greens MP to go into the territory parliament. Remember,
Speaker 2: this government is expecting also to increase the number of
Speaker 2: senators out of the Northern Territory, which means you could
Speaker 2: end up with even more Greens, which means even more
Speaker 2: lefties in our federal Parliament. One of the many interesting
Speaker 2: battles between a vice president to Kamala Harris and former
Speaker 2: President Donald Trump is the fight for the youth vote. Now,
Speaker 2: always young people end up choosing the lefty over the righty,
Speaker 2: or in this case, the Democrat over the Republicans. And
Speaker 2: the latest poll suggests that gen Z voters at least
Speaker 2: half of them are in the tank for Harris, but
Speaker 2: amazingly a third of them currently back Trump. The other
Speaker 2: third are either sitting it out because of things like
Speaker 2: gard or they're backing in some very fringe candidates that
Speaker 2: may well get one percent of the national vote. But
Speaker 2: today was the day where everyone was focused on the
Speaker 2: kids and it was very subtle. Now you may well
Speaker 2: not notice the four D chess that Kamala Harris was
Speaker 2: playing here, but just randomly in the middle of a
Speaker 2: speech today, she said this.
Speaker 8: I love gen Z, I just love gen Z.
Speaker 2: And Donald Trump says that the favorite social media app
Speaker 2: used by gen Z, I'm not going to say jen Z,
Speaker 2: the Chinese surveillance app TikTok, will of course be shut
Speaker 2: down because of a bill that has been passed by
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris and by Joe Biden. So this is his
Speaker 2: message directly to duck kids with a Z.
Speaker 9: So if you like TikTok, go out and vote for Trump.
Speaker 9: If you don't care about TikTok and other things like safety,
Speaker 9: security and prosperity, then you can vote for a Marxist
Speaker 9: who is going to destroy our country.
Speaker 2: I'm sure on TikTok, it was more dancing and music
Speaker 2: underneath it and whatever. You have those glasses, the digital
Speaker 2: glasses that go on, but I'm not on it. Just
Speaker 2: be assuming it's the old man. By the way, if
Speaker 2: you think I'm making this up New York Times, far
Speaker 2: left wing newspaper, Yeah, this bill passed through the House
Speaker 2: and the Senate, which was unless the Chinese sell the
Speaker 2: American version of TikTok, they will ban it in the
Speaker 2: United States. Trump says, if he is elected that will
Speaker 2: not happen, but I love gen z I meantime, you
Speaker 2: might have seen this in the past couple of days.
Speaker 2: It is somebody asking a smart device, this one run
Speaker 2: by Amazon known as Alexa, about whether they should vote
Speaker 2: for Donald Trump or Kamala Harris.
Speaker 8: Roll the tape, Alexa, why should they vote for Donald Trump?
Speaker 5: I cannot provide content that promotes a specific political party
Speaker 5: or a specific candidate.
Speaker 8: Alexa, why should I vote for Kamala Harris.
Speaker 5: While there are many reasons to vote for Kamala Harris,
Speaker 5: the most significant may be that she is a strong
Speaker 5: candidate with a proven track record of accomplishment. As the
Speaker 5: first female vice president, Harris has already broken down a
Speaker 5: major gender barrier, and her career in politics has been
Speaker 5: characterized by a commitment to progressive ideals and a focus
Speaker 5: on helping disenfranchised communities.
Speaker 2: Really, now, in fairness, if you're asking you a spontspeaker
Speaker 2: who you should vote for, more problems in the world.
Speaker 2: But it's an example of how big tech works. How
Speaker 2: do people get their information? Lots of different ways, not
Speaker 2: the way that we used to ten years ago, a
Speaker 2: litt alone twenty years ago. And that gives you an
Speaker 2: insight into How yet again big tech is caught backing
Speaker 2: the Dems over the Republicans, backing Harris in this case
Speaker 2: over Trump. Now, of course, it has been announced today
Speaker 2: that all of this was an error that has now
Speaker 2: been fixed. Apparently Amazon says that it was an error
Speaker 2: and they have now fixed it. But what about chat
Speaker 2: GPT awesome when you're trying to send funny photos to
Speaker 2: each other? But that, of course, according to a survey,
Speaker 2: And again this appeared in the far right wing newspaper
Speaker 2: at the Washington Post. Chat GPT leans liberal researchers show.
Speaker 2: And then what about the AI that's being run by Meta,
Speaker 2: who own Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram. Well, Meta, of course
Speaker 2: keeps serving up false facts about Trump's shooting. And what
Speaker 2: about Google, where most people go to say, what should
Speaker 2: I this? How much is that? What does this? Who
Speaker 2: should I vote for? For some people? Well again, how
Speaker 2: Google manipulated search to favor liberals and tip elections. Isn't
Speaker 2: it amazing? All these glitches, all of these miss but
Speaker 2: they only ever help the left more? In a sect
Speaker 2: tonight is a no sook snow lefty show. You're going
Speaker 2: to love it. Winners and losers in a moment or two.
Speaker 2: Stay where you are because you're in good hands. Remember
Speaker 2: a couple of nights ago I told you about how
Speaker 2: the government was going to try to turn your local
Speaker 2: tax agent into the well police for the ATO. Well,
Speaker 2: as I told you, then there was a huge pushback,
Speaker 2: among other things, about what your tax agent would have
Speaker 2: to tell you about their own lives, potentially things like
Speaker 2: mental illness before you sign up to them as a client.
Speaker 2: I am very reliably informed that the government is going
Speaker 2: to reverse its decision, but it's not just something that's
Speaker 2: done on paper. They're going to have to vote in
Speaker 2: the Senate to make it happen. We will wait, watch
Speaker 2: and see if it happens. We'll also pay attention to
Speaker 2: anyone who votes for the government's regime. Join us now
Speaker 2: for no sooksno lefties, None than Kristin Abram, who was,
Speaker 2: of course a lovely libertarian, and a lovely liberal is
Speaker 2: none other than Michael Kroger see equal love for everyone.
Speaker 2: They're both in Melbourne now. ACTU came out today with
Speaker 2: an interesting thing which was talking about the profit margins
Speaker 2: over the past few years of insurance companies and banks. Surprise, surprise,
Speaker 2: they say that it is too high, but interesting to
Speaker 2: note that it has been a significant increase over that
Speaker 2: period of time, and as we've spoken about when it
Speaker 2: comes to cost of living and inflation, the increases, particularly
Speaker 2: an insurance premiums, have been worth noting here. So, Michael,
Speaker 2: is there such thing as too much profit for a
Speaker 2: financial institution? I say, of course, as a man who
Speaker 2: no doubt is across them all knows many of the players.
Speaker 2: But is there a point where it's too much?
Speaker 7: Not?
Speaker 10: Really, You'll notice the subtext of this, by the way,
Speaker 10: is the ACTU attacking the banks for causing inflation therefore
Speaker 10: higher interest rates. Wink wink. This is part of the
Speaker 10: labor moves attack on the reserve bank, the charmers. It's
Speaker 10: all the reserve banks problem, you know, part of that.
Speaker 10: But no, look, make these vacuous comments from the ac
Speaker 10: to you. You can't just make a comment like that
Speaker 10: without working out how much capital is employed. I mean,
Speaker 10: what is the return on capital for the banks. If
Speaker 10: they've got a million dollars employed, they're making a million,
Speaker 10: that's a great return, one hundred percent return. If they've
Speaker 10: got a million employed and they're making one million, that's
Speaker 10: a terrible million employed. They're making one hundred dollars. That's
Speaker 10: a terrible return. What is the return on their investment?
Speaker 10: So just as simply an evacuous way to say, oh,
Speaker 10: they're making too much money. I mean, it's the kind
Speaker 10: of nonsense, you know, economic nonsense you hear from the
Speaker 10: AC to you. Of course, increased bank profits mean increase
Speaker 10: dividends for members of the union super funds. Hello, and finally, mate,
Speaker 10: better a profitable bank than an unprofitable bank.
Speaker 2: Yeah correct, I mean again, Christen, you know, we get
Speaker 2: what the game is here, which is to pretend, oh,
Speaker 2: the government doesn't send any policy and every policy they've
Speaker 2: got is great, and everyone who's not government is somehow
Speaker 2: trying to stick a shieb into you. They're numbers, which
Speaker 2: again dutifully reported by a media who doesn't say, well,
Speaker 2: hang on, there's not a bloke sitting around just twirling
Speaker 2: his mustache. Who's sitting on the bidians Scrooge McDuck style.
Speaker 2: It's being divided up and sent back to the people
Speaker 2: who own it, including the people who are forced to
Speaker 2: have shares in the bank because of superannuation, which is
Speaker 2: forced on us by government. But their number is forty
Speaker 2: six percent increase in profit two hundred and twelve bf
Speaker 2: a billion. Uga booger, ulga booger.
Speaker 8: I completely agree with Michael. This is part of the
Speaker 8: Labor Party's spin. Chalmers tried to blame the RBA and
Speaker 8: now he's got his union mates coming out and saying
Speaker 8: something along the lines of look here, this is the problem.
Speaker 8: It's not the government, Please don't look at us. The
Speaker 8: government is clearly the problem in the cost of living
Speaker 8: crisis that we're in in there inflation that we're seeing,
Speaker 8: and they're looking for anyone to blame as a scapegoat.
Speaker 8: But over regulation of banks is what has led largely
Speaker 8: to the big full banks. We are stopping new entrants
Speaker 8: into the market. So I don't think more regulation is
Speaker 8: ever going to be the solution. That is the problem
Speaker 8: with big government and that is a problem with the
Speaker 8: laves we're all living at the moment. Our cost of
Speaker 8: living crisis is this consistent regulation which lets these big
Speaker 8: businesses continue to thrive and stops little businesses from coming
Speaker 8: in and creating more competition.
Speaker 2: Now, as I mentioned before, the seed of Higgins disappears,
Speaker 2: an extra seat will appear in Western Australia. This is
Speaker 2: there's the seat of Bullwinkle. Now I joked about this
Speaker 2: when we're in that it was like Rocky and Bullwinkle.
Speaker 2: Of course, it's a reference to a significant a woman
Speaker 2: through history. That's why the thing has been established in
Speaker 2: her name. But Michael is a man who understands electoral
Speaker 2: politics better than I do. And the maps and all
Speaker 2: the rest of it. Here, what does the map tell you?
Speaker 2: Labour now formerly lose as a seat, but do they
Speaker 2: gain one in Wa? Now what happens.
Speaker 10: In theory they gave one in Wa. First of all,
Speaker 10: can I say, you know, poor decision by the Electoral
Speaker 10: Commission to abolish the seat of Higgins. I mean, it's
Speaker 10: a profoundly important seat in this country to former prime ministers,
Speaker 10: a treasurer for goodness sake, and they've ignored natural boundaries,
Speaker 10: et cetera. So I've now been moved into the seat
Speaker 10: of Adam Bant.
Speaker 8: So I'm sorry.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I know, I know. It's just shocking. So I
Speaker 10: don't think that was a good decision. But yes, Labor
Speaker 10: get so they lose Higgins, but they gain Bullwinkle. North Sydney,
Speaker 10: New South Wales is still yet to be determined, but
Speaker 10: it looks as if that'll go. Theoretically, Labor gained one
Speaker 10: in West Australia mate Bullwinkle with a three percent march,
Speaker 10: but they're not going to win that seat because there
Speaker 10: was a ten and a half percent swing against the
Speaker 10: Morrison governor in Western Australia in the twenty twenty two election.
Speaker 10: And when you get a massive swing like ten and
Speaker 10: a half, which is right at the extremity of general
Speaker 10: election swings in a state, it comes back hard the
Speaker 10: other way. So it's going to come back a lot
Speaker 10: more than three percent. So Bullwinker will be lost. Labor
Speaker 10: to the coalition a notionally it's theirs, but not for long.
Speaker 2: Well we'll I wait and see here, Kristin. Well, of course,
Speaker 2: know that Bill shouldn't pulled the pin today. And goodness me,
Speaker 2: wasn't the media sad that they were losing a mate.
Speaker 2: Good They rolled out the red carpet as if he
Speaker 2: was the Prime minister in twenty nineteen, as if he
Speaker 2: was somebody who wasn't rejected twice by the Australian people.
Speaker 2: But surprise, surprise, when we have our history books, we
Speaker 2: only learn about the dismissal, not the subsequent two elections
Speaker 2: after that when the Australian people are underlined the decisions
Speaker 2: that were made back then. This is him talking about
Speaker 2: his own achievements. Have a look.
Speaker 3: What we did three weeks ago in the Parliament has
Speaker 3: meant that we will be able to set this on
Speaker 3: a direction where the scheme will be true to its
Speaker 3: original purpose, where the shanks and frauds are evicted and
Speaker 3: we'll start focusing on outcomes for people. And I'm absolutely
Speaker 3: positive about the bright horizon for the NDIS. I've had
Speaker 3: the very very very privileged position to lead Labor. I've
Speaker 3: had the chance to help the victims of robo debt.
Speaker 2: The victims of robo debt. Now, yes, of course there
Speaker 2: was a Royal commission into that, but remember the scheme
Speaker 2: had already been shut down and the people had been compensated.
Speaker 2: But this was all, of course part of that strategy
Speaker 2: of the first year of Look how terrible everything used
Speaker 2: to be, Kristen, could you care less.
Speaker 8: Look if Bill Shorten, if I had to choose between
Speaker 8: Bill Shorton and Albo as Prime Minister, I would choose
Speaker 8: a Bill Shorten because Albo doesn't know his arm from
Speaker 8: his albow. But in terms of what's going on, with
Speaker 8: Bill Shorton and kept taking a job with the university
Speaker 8: at the moment. Can we stop to think that we're
Speaker 8: talking about legislation at the moment with universities and foreign
Speaker 8: students and all of that kind of stuff. He has
Speaker 8: said that he's going to go and work for this university,
Speaker 8: and yet he's going to stay on until the election.
Speaker 8: And I think he should resign immediately and call for
Speaker 8: a by election if we're not going to have an
Speaker 8: election until May, because surely there's some kind of conflict
Speaker 8: of interest here and the people of Marrabanong in Victoria
Speaker 8: deserve a MP that is in it and they're ready
Speaker 8: to go and work for their community now, not just
Speaker 8: kind of suckling on the taxpayer dime.
Speaker 2: Now, I remember ripping into Bruce Bilson, who I very
Speaker 2: much liked when he was a small business minister, but
Speaker 2: he essentially lined up a gig while he was on
Speaker 2: the way out. Well, clearly this is what's happened here.
Speaker 2: But again, Michael, and again I have to be very clear,
Speaker 2: because everyone's got a lawyer, and everyone's got people that
Speaker 2: will do legal work for free if it's coming after
Speaker 2: people like me. But Jesus isn't it amazing that the
Speaker 2: chancellor of the university is the same person who Bill
Speaker 2: Shorten hired to be the co chair of the inquiry
Speaker 2: into the andis who also used to be the head
Speaker 2: of government departments when he was a ministe back in
Speaker 2: the rud Gillard rud days. And apparently there was a
Speaker 2: universal support for him to get the job. But my goodness,
Speaker 2: what a tight little world it is in Canberra where
Speaker 2: the person who you are going to end up working
Speaker 2: for chancellor vice chancellor is a person that you have
Speaker 2: already brought in for a side gig, who used to
Speaker 2: be somebody you knew from a previous government. What a world.
Speaker 10: Just just a coincidence of all, one of those incredible
Speaker 10: coincidences in life. Nothing to do at all with what
Speaker 10: you said, just you know, the rule that will landed
Speaker 10: on Bill's number. Look, it is significant that he's leaving,
Speaker 10: very significant because he's probably the last of the Bob
Speaker 10: Hawk labor members from Victoria, very much in the Hawk tradition,
Speaker 10: center right, pro America, pro Israel, and Short would have
Speaker 10: been you know, we know, short and Short and would
Speaker 10: have been tearing his hair out in those cabinet meetings
Speaker 10: in the court because meetings listen to this extreme left
Speaker 10: gump coming from Albanesian Wong Short would have been disgusted
Speaker 10: by what has been going on within the Labor Party,
Speaker 10: and I'm sure that's one of the reasons he's said enough.
Speaker 10: I think he's worked out he's not going to become
Speaker 10: leader again. They'll go to the next generation after Albow
Speaker 10: gets hit by the political bus, and I think he's
Speaker 10: realized they're not going to go back to him. He
Speaker 10: had two games, he's not going to have a third
Speaker 10: go and he doesn't want to sit there and listen
Speaker 10: to all this this disgraceful Middle Eastern policy coming out
Speaker 10: of the Labor Party, and I think he thinks Bob
Speaker 10: Hawk could be disgusted. I'm disgusted. I'm out of here.
Speaker 10: And he's got a good job. As you said, by
Speaker 10: that freak of coincidence.
Speaker 8: Mate, he's told me that you don't think the next
Speaker 8: generation is going to be Jim Chalmers.
Speaker 10: Michael, please tell me, well, I don't think it'll be
Speaker 10: Jim because Jim's a plotter. I mean, Jim thinks he's
Speaker 10: pale phase Adios. He thinks he's Hondo Gratton. Okay, good,
Speaker 10: to know and to mix racing codes. You wouldn't back
Speaker 10: him in a barren beat jumpers flat maiden jumpers flat.
Speaker 8: So elegant.
Speaker 2: I love it. I love it, by the.
Speaker 10: Way, just quick for forty eight. This is forty eight.
Speaker 2: So Labour at the last election it got forty two
Speaker 2: percent in the seat that he won in a winning
Speaker 2: like sixty forty after preferences forty two percent primary Greens
Speaker 2: was sixteen percent primary Libs twenty seven. It'd be a
Speaker 2: by election and we know that the Libs are the
Speaker 2: Greens are particularly charging at the moment on rent. Is
Speaker 2: there any chance Labor could lose that seat, Michael.
Speaker 10: Zero because the Liberal Party, under no circumstances, would be
Speaker 10: preferencing the Greens. Good. Now, there was a time of
Speaker 10: years ago when the Greens under Dina Tali were becoming
Speaker 10: a bit more sensible on foreign policy. But this mob
Speaker 10: extreme and the Liberal Party will preference the Labor Party
Speaker 10: ahead of the Greens, who I hope the Liberal Party
Speaker 10: will put last in every seat in this country because
Speaker 10: of their disgraceful move to the Marxist left. So no
Speaker 10: no chance, Laborers that said.
Speaker 2: Good good to hear right? Quick break back we're more
Speaker 2: ple need to talk about No Sooks, No Lefties tonight
Speaker 2: when there's the losers of the week and they look
Speaker 2: forward towards next week's debate between Trump and Harris. More
Speaker 2: in a sec thank you very much for watching No Soooks,
Speaker 2: No Lefties tonight late debate about eight minutes away from now.
Speaker 2: Christin Abram, the wonderful libertarian is here with the wonderful
Speaker 2: liberal otherwise knows Michael Kroger. See, I still love you both.
Speaker 2: So next week we're going to be talking at this
Speaker 2: point in time about the reaction to the most likely
Speaker 2: one and only debate between Trump and Harris. The rules
Speaker 2: have only been signed off on today, where yes, the
Speaker 2: microphones will still be cut off. And more importantly and
Speaker 2: most importantly, and Harris was really fighting for this, there
Speaker 2: will be no notes, so we will literally have to
Speaker 2: watch word salads being prepared before our very eyes. Michael,
Speaker 2: your sense of what happens. We know the media is
Speaker 2: going to go into it pre cocked to say nothing
Speaker 2: to see here with her look at how evil Donald
Speaker 2: Trump is. But do you think there is the genuine
Speaker 2: potential of a moment that forces them to see what
Speaker 2: really happened? Like they did with.
Speaker 10: Bud Look, anything can happen. But I fear that the CNN,
Speaker 10: MSNBC Democratic left machine in America. I've never said anything
Speaker 10: like this. By the way, this election is totally bizarre.
Speaker 10: A're all going to no matter how badly she does,
Speaker 10: they're going to say she was absolutely fantastic, she won
Speaker 10: that debate, she was good on policy, was this that
Speaker 10: Trump was terrible. They're going to declare her the winner
Speaker 10: no matter what happens. Their whole strategy is working brilliantly.
Speaker 10: No interviews, give speeches, blah blah blah, because as we know,
Speaker 10: the American public don't know anything about Kamala Harris. We
Speaker 10: do here on sky Fox does, but the American public
Speaker 10: just thinks she's itself. She's vice president, she's a woman
Speaker 10: of color. She seems bright and breezy and new. And
Speaker 10: that coach guy, her number two, he seems all right.
Speaker 10: These people seem okay. They have no idea that she
Speaker 10: would be absolutely hopeless as president, the worst president we've seen.
Speaker 10: Probably she'll she'll be worse than Jimmy Carter if he wins,
Speaker 10: because she has no idea. If you haven't seen that
Speaker 10: clip of her being asked about inflation. No, yeah, which
Speaker 10: is oh my goodness, so mate. No, they will declare
Speaker 10: her the winner and say it's a magnificent day for
Speaker 10: the Democrats. She's come through it unscathed and in fact,
Speaker 10: not only unscathed, she won the debate. That's what they're
Speaker 10: going to say.
Speaker 2: So, Kristen, should Trump go into it and be moggaedon
Speaker 2: and basically just by not giving them the thing to say,
Speaker 2: look how he screwed up, and they're just going to
Speaker 2: say she's presidential by the end of the week, We've
Speaker 2: changed the subject and we're talking about something else. Or
Speaker 2: should he poke the bear and expose what's really going on?
Speaker 8: See like you said before about her word salad, I
Speaker 8: think she's going to word salad through the whole debate,
Speaker 8: But if I'm excited to watch it, because I don't
Speaker 8: think either of them are going to perform really well.
Speaker 8: But the problem with Trump is Trump, if he's not careful,
Speaker 8: we'll come across like a bully, like a misogynist, and
Speaker 8: he's going to get framed in that light. And the
Speaker 8: best way he should approach it is being really calm,
Speaker 8: cool and collected, and the angle that he needs to
Speaker 8: go for which sadly, if we go to World War three,
Speaker 8: who do you want running the free world? Really? And
Speaker 8: because when you look at them, you go who exerts
Speaker 8: more confidence? Who wants to Who do you want running
Speaker 8: the country? So I don't think either of them are
Speaker 8: going to perform well. If Trump can hold his tongue
Speaker 8: in an elegant manner, then maybe he could come out,
Speaker 8: you know, relatively unscathed.
Speaker 2: And certainly I think that the mike muting works for
Speaker 2: him because it forces discipline upon him, and the more
Speaker 2: disciplined is the better he does. Thank you, guys, do
Speaker 2: appreciate it. Have a wonderful weekend wherever you happen to be.
Speaker 2: Tell us about how you winners and losers are on
Speaker 2: social media. In the meantime, Thank you very much for watching.
Speaker 2: A reminder, if you've got time this weekend, please clean
Speaker 2: up the house because it's going to be a warm spring.
Speaker 2: We know where we're heading when it comes to summer.
Speaker 2: Good luck to your team this weekend if they're in
Speaker 2: the finals. Myne other Tigers, Yankees
