WEBVTT - Sharri | 23 July

0:00:01.639 --> 0:00:05.559
<v Speaker 1>Live on Sky News. This is Sharry.

0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:10.040
<v Speaker 2>Good evening. It's great to be back with you tonight.

0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:13.520
<v Speaker 3>A big thank you to Caleb, Denika and Steve Price.

0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:15.640
<v Speaker 2>For filling in over the past few weeks.

0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:19.160
<v Speaker 3>Well, let's start tonight with a massive deception on voters

0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:23.920
<v Speaker 3>over the pivotal issue of President Joe Biden's mental acuity.

0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:28.560
<v Speaker 3>White House advisors, journalists, and members of Congress are now

0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:33.680
<v Speaker 3>in the spotlight for the protection racket over Biden's cognitive decline.

0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:39.360
<v Speaker 3>The detail that's now emerging about Biden's incompetence during his

0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:43.640
<v Speaker 3>time as leader of the free world is utterly breathtaking.

0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:47.600
<v Speaker 3>It's a matter of utmost public interest. What could be

0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:51.800
<v Speaker 3>more important than the ability to think and function of

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 3>the man who has the power to launch nuclear weapons. Yet,

0:00:56.120 --> 0:01:00.560
<v Speaker 3>as more evidence emerges about his serious decline, the protection

0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 3>racket around him is being exposed. In October twenty twenty one,

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:11.120
<v Speaker 3>Biden was reportedly incoherent and rambling during an address to

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:15.920
<v Speaker 3>Congressional Democrats. In fact, he was so inarticulate that he

0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:19.320
<v Speaker 3>never met with the House Democratic Caucus again, according to

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:20.360
<v Speaker 3>The Wall Street Journal.

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 2>That was less than a year into his presidency.

0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:28.440
<v Speaker 3>Then in twenty twenty two, Biden lost his train of

0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 3>thought and began mumbling during a call about Ukraine with

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:34.120
<v Speaker 3>G seven world leaders.

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:36.319
<v Speaker 2>The Wall Street Journal reports that.

0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:40.120
<v Speaker 3>He nearly hung up without giving Emmanuel Macron his say.

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 3>Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had to step in.

0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 3>These world leaders all knew there was a problem with Biden,

0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:53.280
<v Speaker 3>yet apparently kept its secret that the leader of the

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:54.360
<v Speaker 3>Free world.

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:56.080
<v Speaker 2>Was struggling now.

0:01:56.200 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 3>This report also reveals that some cabinet secretaries only saw

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:05.920
<v Speaker 3>the president on a monthly basis. Some officials describe Biden

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 3>as unusually removed from the rest of administration, or, as

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:15.640
<v Speaker 3>former administration official put it, not engaged in the hands

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 3>on business of governing. Well, what seems to be emerging

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:24.240
<v Speaker 3>is that it was Biden's team running the United States,

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:30.480
<v Speaker 3>not necessarily the president that voters elected, and Massachusetts Congressman

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.640
<v Speaker 3>as Seth Moulton said that Biden didn't recognize him at

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 3>an event in June, despite their long friendship. Even Special

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:43.480
<v Speaker 3>Counsel Robert Hurr back in February described Biden as an

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:47.040
<v Speaker 3>elderly man with a poor memory. And there are so

0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 3>many more examples, all emerging in outlets like the New

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:55.239
<v Speaker 3>York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post.

0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:56.720
<v Speaker 2>But where were.

0:02:56.639 --> 0:03:00.280
<v Speaker 3>These investigative journalists a week ago, a month ago, or

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 3>over the past three years, especially when it was obvious

0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:08.240
<v Speaker 3>to any casual observer that Biden was in a state

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:13.080
<v Speaker 3>of sad decline thanks to clips like these that went viral.

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to I don't want to well, I mean,

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:25.840
<v Speaker 4>choose my worries. I was just thinking, Uh, anyway, I

0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:34.120
<v Speaker 4>just look, I mean Putin's Club Tarcher.

0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:42.839
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it was in February February January, after I reading

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:46.360
<v Speaker 5>elected for late early February.

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:51.320
<v Speaker 3>Yet the White House claimed that reports of his mental

0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 3>degradation were all fake.

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:59.120
<v Speaker 6>News, instead of talking about the president's performance in office,

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 6>and what I mean by that is his legislative wins,

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:03.720
<v Speaker 6>what he's been able to do for the American people

0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 6>across the country. We're seeing these deep figs, these manipulated videos.

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 3>And they got away with this blatant lie thanks to

0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:16.279
<v Speaker 3>their allies in the media, who pretended there was no

0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:20.040
<v Speaker 3>issue at all. They said Biden was sharp as attack

0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 3>and would run again.

0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.720
<v Speaker 5>President Biden, who I've been around numerous times just in

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 5>this last year, is sharp.

0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.240
<v Speaker 7>He's focused, He's bright.

0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:34.760
<v Speaker 1>He is sharp, intensely probing and detail oriented and focused.

0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:36.680
<v Speaker 8>This is a man who is sharp, who is on

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 8>top of his game, who knows what's going on.

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 7>He's smart, he's on his game.

0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 3>For years, the political and media elite lied to the

0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:49.520
<v Speaker 3>public about a matter of no less importance than the

0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:55.960
<v Speaker 3>president's cognitive ability. This is an incredibly grave offense. And

0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.719
<v Speaker 3>even as Biden was about to step down, his confidants

0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 3>were insisting he'd stay in the race.

0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:12.040
<v Speaker 7>This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically is the best Biden.

0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.880
<v Speaker 9>Ever, absolutely the presidents in this race. You've heard him

0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.520
<v Speaker 9>say that time and time again, and I think we

0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:20.920
<v Speaker 9>saw on display last night exactly why. Because Donald Trump

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:23.760
<v Speaker 9>is not going to offer anything new to the American

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:24.280
<v Speaker 9>people now.

0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:27.560
<v Speaker 10>Want to be crystal clear, He's made a decision, and

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:32.359
<v Speaker 10>that decision is to accept the nomination and run for

0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:35.520
<v Speaker 10>reelection win reelection. And I think that there are those

0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:39.039
<v Speaker 10>out there that need to hear it again that he

0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:41.599
<v Speaker 10>made a decision. He's going to be the candidate, He's

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:42.800
<v Speaker 10>going to be the next president.

0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:49.279
<v Speaker 3>It's shocking how comfortably those in power mislead voters and

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.719
<v Speaker 3>when they're caught out as they have been this week,

0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:56.160
<v Speaker 3>how they just explain it away. This all further erodes

0:05:56.320 --> 0:06:01.280
<v Speaker 3>voter trust in the political establishment. Assistance that Biden was

0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:04.920
<v Speaker 3>fine and the clips of him rambling were all fake news. Well,

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:08.320
<v Speaker 3>this is especially hard to swallow when even Jodge Clooney

0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:11.880
<v Speaker 3>said Biden is not the man he knew a decade ago.

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:16.240
<v Speaker 3>Yet Clooney too was happy to mislead voters just a

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:21.400
<v Speaker 3>month ago, fronting a Hollywood fundraiser that raised millions Or

0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 3>shouldn't he feel guilty about taking millions of dollars from

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.920
<v Speaker 3>donors for a man he knew wasn't up to the job.

0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 3>And the question that many commentators are now asking is

0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:36.279
<v Speaker 3>if Joe Biden is not fit to run again, well,

0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:40.839
<v Speaker 3>what makes him fit to remain US president? According to

0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:45.400
<v Speaker 3>senior advisor for Trump and Bush administrations, Christian Witten, well,

0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:51.920
<v Speaker 3>he's not fit to remain in office now, and that

0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 3>full interview will play you. That clip is coming up

0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.480
<v Speaker 3>in a moment, and the mystery surrounding Joe Biden only

0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:02.080
<v Speaker 3>grows with the only sign of the president since his

0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:05.360
<v Speaker 3>bombshell move to quit the presidential race just.

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:09.400
<v Speaker 2>A phone call.

0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:13.160
<v Speaker 3>This is highly unusual behavior that phone call going into

0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:16.920
<v Speaker 3>a Kamala Harris campaign event today. Then there's this suggestion

0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:21.120
<v Speaker 3>from Biden himself and his aides, and even repeated by

0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:25.680
<v Speaker 3>our own Prime Minister Anthony Albernizi, that Biden acted selflessly

0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 3>in the national interest in stepping aside from the race.

0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, his move is far from selfless.

0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 3>Biden was hanging in saying that only God Almighty could

0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:43.160
<v Speaker 3>stop him from running. Selfless would have been Biden announcing

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.640
<v Speaker 3>he wasn't going to run a year ago, not after

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:50.640
<v Speaker 3>the primaries were done and dusted, not after he'd deprived

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:55.239
<v Speaker 3>voters of a democratic process where potential nominees would face

0:07:55.520 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 3>thorough debates and interrogation. In fact, Biden only stepped back

0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:05.000
<v Speaker 3>when forced to when the most powerful figures in the

0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:11.200
<v Speaker 3>Democratic Party, Obama and Nancy Pelosi, intervened, threatening to remove

0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:15.320
<v Speaker 3>him the hard way, whatever that means if he didn't

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.600
<v Speaker 3>go well. This says a lot about who really calls

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.600
<v Speaker 3>the shots in the United States, and as we've seen,

0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:23.440
<v Speaker 3>it ain't the president.

0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:27.880
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 3>The failure of the Secret Service was today laid bare

0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:34.360
<v Speaker 3>in a grilling by the House Committee, but only more

0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:38.199
<v Speaker 3>questions now arise around the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.480
<v Speaker 3>We'll get to that later in the show. Plus, Kamala

0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:44.240
<v Speaker 3>Harris shows up the broad support from her party, inching

0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:48.160
<v Speaker 3>closer to becoming the official nominee, but many are asking

0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:51.080
<v Speaker 3>whether she is up to the job. And Joe Biden

0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:55.200
<v Speaker 3>snub to Benjamin Netanyahoo canceling their meeting after he'd already

0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:56.480
<v Speaker 3>arrived in Washington.

0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.640
<v Speaker 2>You have to ask with friends like these.

0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:03.480
<v Speaker 3>Also on the show tonight, more painful polling numbers for

0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:07.840
<v Speaker 3>Albinizi as Dutton Gain's popularity. Will break down the latest

0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:12.199
<v Speaker 3>data later, and the world's first blood test that predicts

0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:14.160
<v Speaker 3>the risk of heart attacks.

0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:15.839
<v Speaker 2>And even strokes in patients.

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:19.920
<v Speaker 3>The lead Australian researcher behind this will join me later

0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:20.440
<v Speaker 3>in the show.

0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 2>This is amazing.

0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:24.480
<v Speaker 3>But now let's stick with the US politics and bring

0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.200
<v Speaker 3>in tonight's panel former Speaker of the House Bronwyn Bishop

0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:31.040
<v Speaker 3>and llenp Senator James McGrath. Welcome to you both. Great

0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:34.880
<v Speaker 3>to see you, Ron Wind. Now let's look at what

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:39.720
<v Speaker 3>happened today. Joe Biden phoned into Kamala Harris's campaign event.

0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:43.160
<v Speaker 3>This is the first time we heard from Joe Biden

0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:44.960
<v Speaker 3>the voters haven't seen him.

0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:48.800
<v Speaker 2>This is the United States president. He's said in a.

0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.360
<v Speaker 3>Statement posted to his Twitter account that he wasn't running

0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:54.240
<v Speaker 3>for the presidency yet, no event at all, even though

0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:57.760
<v Speaker 3>the White House doctor says he is recovering well from COVID.

0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Don't you think this is quite unus usual? Brunwin?

0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:04.840
<v Speaker 3>That a phone call and he hasn't actually addressed the public,

0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:06.480
<v Speaker 3>the voters, the people yet.

0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:08.559
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, it is distinctly odd.

0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:13.000
<v Speaker 12>However, he's about as relevant as yesterday's wrapping on the

0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:17.199
<v Speaker 12>fish and chips. He's now past history. It's a new

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:22.240
<v Speaker 12>game in town. It's called Kamala kamala, if you like.

0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 12>But the problem is that there seems to be a

0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:29.400
<v Speaker 12>reluctance to let go of the frailty of Biden.

0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:32.480
<v Speaker 11>He won't be seen again. He won't be there to.

0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 12>Be in the way of her shining on the platform

0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:40.600
<v Speaker 12>as he sets out as she, pardon me, sets out

0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:40.920
<v Speaker 12>to be.

0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:42.559
<v Speaker 11>The winning candidate.

0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:45.000
<v Speaker 12>And so there has to be a whole new strategy,

0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:49.360
<v Speaker 12>and it'll be a question of tying her to him

0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:52.120
<v Speaker 12>as part of the conspiracy to cover.

0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:53.880
<v Speaker 11>Up what has gone on. But it's going to be

0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:54.560
<v Speaker 11>very personal.

0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:58.480
<v Speaker 12>She's indicated already she's going to personally attack Donald Trump

0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:02.440
<v Speaker 12>by saying I was a prospers, I know him. He's

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:06.920
<v Speaker 12>been convicted, so Trump has to be personal too, but

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:11.480
<v Speaker 12>it has to be tying it to policy. No compassion

0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:13.839
<v Speaker 12>for women who can't put a food on the table

0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:17.240
<v Speaker 12>of their family, or no compassion for the women who

0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:20.360
<v Speaker 12>are attacked by the illegals who come across the border,

0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:24.880
<v Speaker 12>tie her to a failure with that failure to protect

0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:25.839
<v Speaker 12>the border, because.

0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:28.920
<v Speaker 11>It's the one thing that she was given the job

0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:31.360
<v Speaker 11>to do. So it's a whole new ball game.

0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:35.400
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's interesting, James, because the reason that was

0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:38.880
<v Speaker 3>supposedly presented to Joe Biden is that the polling shows.

0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:40.000
<v Speaker 2>That he can't beat Trump.

0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:44.800
<v Speaker 3>Yet Kamala Harris is even more unpopular with voters.

0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:46.640
<v Speaker 2>So the question is.

0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:50.040
<v Speaker 3>Whether she would have a better chance of beating Trump,

0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:52.560
<v Speaker 3>or whether there might be there might have been another

0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:56.199
<v Speaker 3>Democratic candidate who the party could have found, who would

0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.719
<v Speaker 3>offer voters a second option if they don't want to

0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:02.400
<v Speaker 3>support Donald Trump, but that process seems to have gone

0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:02.880
<v Speaker 3>past them.

0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:04.559
<v Speaker 2>Now voters have been deprived that option.

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:09.320
<v Speaker 13>The Democratic Party is not living up to its name,

0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:13.720
<v Speaker 13>is it. We've had twelve months of hide and seek

0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:16.800
<v Speaker 13>where people are trying to find out who is who

0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:20.920
<v Speaker 13>is the real President Biden, Yet he's been hidden from people,

0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:24.880
<v Speaker 13>are hidden throughout the primaries, So we have an engineered process.

0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:26.920
<v Speaker 13>And now it looks like the faceless men and the

0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:31.640
<v Speaker 13>faceless women of the Democratic Party are effectively imposing the

0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:36.600
<v Speaker 13>vice president on the Democrat Party as their preferred candidate.

0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.560
<v Speaker 13>We should be concerned about this, and I don't necessarily

0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:43.040
<v Speaker 13>want to disagree with Bronwyn because it won't end well

0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.960
<v Speaker 13>for me. But he is still going to be president

0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:49.880
<v Speaker 13>for the next six months. And we've got a apricious rusher.

0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.360
<v Speaker 13>We have communists China eyeing off Taiwan, and they're all

0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:57.959
<v Speaker 13>looking at this weakened US president. This is very, very

0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:02.360
<v Speaker 13>dangerous for a settled world order when we've got chaos

0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:03.840
<v Speaker 13>in America.

0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:06.680
<v Speaker 3>It's a very good point because, as I just mentioned

0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:09.400
<v Speaker 3>in my opening remarks, I mean the stories that are

0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:12.600
<v Speaker 3>coming out now, the detail in the New York Times,

0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:16.400
<v Speaker 3>in the Wall Street Journal about just how very senior

0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:19.960
<v Speaker 3>advisors at the White House, close to the President, even

0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:24.679
<v Speaker 3>senior Congress members knew about his incoherence, his a competence,

0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:27.560
<v Speaker 3>how he'd lose his trail of thought in meetings. This

0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.600
<v Speaker 3>is now all in the public domain. These leaks are happening.

0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:36.680
<v Speaker 3>All our enemies have never been more aggressive, not in decades.

0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:40.000
<v Speaker 3>This is the most volatile global situation we're seeing with

0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:44.160
<v Speaker 3>this axis of evil farming with China, Iran, North Korea

0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:45.720
<v Speaker 3>and Russia and bronwin.

0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:49.559
<v Speaker 2>They're seeing that the president of the United.

0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:51.959
<v Speaker 3>States, if these reports are to believed, and why wouldn't

0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:55.880
<v Speaker 3>they be, but like believe they're incredible media outlets that

0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:58.599
<v Speaker 3>effectively he's a puppet.

0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:01.800
<v Speaker 12>Figure, absolutely, and has been for the last two years.

0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:05.520
<v Speaker 12>I think we've seen Obama have his third term, and

0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:07.679
<v Speaker 12>if he had his brothers, I think he'd like to

0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:09.320
<v Speaker 12>put his wife in to have a fourth term.

0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:10.760
<v Speaker 11>But that's not going to happen.

0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:15.760
<v Speaker 12>It's going to be the current vice president. But everything

0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:19.240
<v Speaker 12>you've said about the drastic rammifications of the world for

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:21.440
<v Speaker 12>the next six months have been true for the last

0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:26.360
<v Speaker 12>last eighteen months. But the reality of it is is

0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:29.360
<v Speaker 12>if there's to be a change, then Trump has to win.

0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:32.560
<v Speaker 12>And Trump is to win, he has to realize he's

0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.920
<v Speaker 12>no longer fighting Biden, He's fighting Camela.

0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:36.680
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:41.240
<v Speaker 3>The great mystery is why Donald Trump was nearly assassinated

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.440
<v Speaker 3>just a week ago. Well, the Secret Service head Carrie Cheatle,

0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:49.480
<v Speaker 3>faced intense questions today over the shocking failure of security

0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:53.720
<v Speaker 3>to protect the former president. Just two minutes before the

0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:57.720
<v Speaker 3>first shot was fired, locals tried to alert police.

0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:58.520
<v Speaker 2>To the shooter's location.

0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:01.640
<v Speaker 3>It was such an a non as failure that the former

0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:05.720
<v Speaker 3>president came within a whiskers breath of being assassinated.

0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:09.680
<v Speaker 14>Have a look why did the Secret Service not? Can

0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:11.680
<v Speaker 14>you answer why the Secret Service didn't place a single

0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:12.600
<v Speaker 14>agent on the roof.

0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:17.640
<v Speaker 15>We are still looking into the advanced process and the decisions.

0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:20.040
<v Speaker 2>That doesn't look like suspicious behavior.

0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:21.840
<v Speaker 7>That looks like threatening behavior to me.

0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:25.160
<v Speaker 10>And the rally wasn't pause at that point either, correct.

0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:28.160
<v Speaker 15>I can tell you, as I stated earlier, sir, that

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:33.240
<v Speaker 15>the moment that the shift surrounding the president were aware

0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:34.880
<v Speaker 15>of an actual.

0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:37.000
<v Speaker 10>Threat, that's a threat right there.

0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:39.720
<v Speaker 15>I have no idea how my statement got out.

0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:44.680
<v Speaker 3>Well, that's have you provided all audio and video recordings

0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:46.960
<v Speaker 3>in your possession to this committee as we asked on

0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:47.680
<v Speaker 3>July fifteenth?

0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:48.160
<v Speaker 12>Yes? Or no?

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:49.720
<v Speaker 2>I would have to get back to you.

0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:50.280
<v Speaker 11>That is a no.

0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:55.040
<v Speaker 15>You're full of today, you're just being completely dishonest.

0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:59.320
<v Speaker 3>It was intense and hostile questions. But the truth is

0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:02.640
<v Speaker 3>that there was over half an hour period in which

0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:06.040
<v Speaker 3>people on the ground raised the fact that there was

0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:09.320
<v Speaker 3>someone suspicious, a potential shooter on the roof. They raised

0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:12.120
<v Speaker 3>it with law enforcement. Law enforcement raised it with the

0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:16.760
<v Speaker 3>Secret Service, and James what we saw today were frankly unacceptable,

0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:18.640
<v Speaker 3>inadequate answers.

0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:25.000
<v Speaker 13>Totally unacceptable answers. And if you can't protect the former

0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:28.760
<v Speaker 13>president and the presumptive Republican Party candidate, how can you

0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:31.760
<v Speaker 13>help protect the free world? And this is a serious

0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:36.680
<v Speaker 13>question to be posed to the American Security Services because

0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:39.720
<v Speaker 13>it goes to the funding of the security detail around

0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:42.800
<v Speaker 13>President Trump, and it also goes to actually what happened

0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:45.200
<v Speaker 13>on the day. And it's one of those cases where

0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:48.000
<v Speaker 13>they need to have a very thorough inquiry, but you

0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:52.280
<v Speaker 13>need to hasten slowly to make sure that it is thorough.

0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:54.520
<v Speaker 13>But it has to be done in a timely manner.

0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:56.880
<v Speaker 13>And as much as I love my American cousins and

0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:59.840
<v Speaker 13>the questions that are asking of the director of the

0:16:59.880 --> 0:17:02.760
<v Speaker 13>Secret Service, we've got to get to the truth of

0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:05.679
<v Speaker 13>it and find out exactly what happened and ensure it

0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:10.120
<v Speaker 13>does not happen again, and someone needs to be sacked

0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:12.200
<v Speaker 13>or resign over those failings.

0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:15.560
<v Speaker 3>And it doesn't matter if people like Donald Trump or

0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:19.720
<v Speaker 3>not very divisive politician, but it's irrelevant. The bottom line, Branwyn,

0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:22.720
<v Speaker 3>is that you can't have a secret service that is

0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:28.040
<v Speaker 3>incapable of protecting a former president and most likely the

0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:31.840
<v Speaker 3>future president. I don't understand why heads haven't rolled already

0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:32.159
<v Speaker 3>over this.

0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:35.800
<v Speaker 12>Well, the fact that no heads have rolled means that

0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:40.600
<v Speaker 12>you start to feed conspiracy theories, I e. Why isn't

0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:43.400
<v Speaker 12>she sacked so she knows something which you speak out

0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:46.520
<v Speaker 12>if she were, Why did she come to that? I mean,

0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:50.679
<v Speaker 12>James and I have both seen witnesses come before Senate

0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:55.320
<v Speaker 12>and House committees where the witness comes deliberately giving no

0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:58.879
<v Speaker 12>information and you just have to keep probing and you

0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:02.439
<v Speaker 12>get them back and back came back, and that that

0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:06.200
<v Speaker 12>has to happen with her because they obviously know something

0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:07.160
<v Speaker 12>that they're not sharing.

0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:09.960
<v Speaker 3>Well, they need to suppear subpoena documents, They need to

0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:13.399
<v Speaker 3>seppit the entire computer systems, what our phone devices, They

0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:13.880
<v Speaker 3>need to get.

0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:14.280
<v Speaker 2>To the bottom.

0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:17.600
<v Speaker 12>Absolutely, that's a long process, but it does beg the

0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:21.359
<v Speaker 12>question people start saying, was there an inside job? Was

0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:25.840
<v Speaker 12>there something malicious going on? Until you see the truth

0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:29.880
<v Speaker 12>and can confront that sort of conspiracy, that's the sort

0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:31.280
<v Speaker 12>of thing that starts to prevail.

0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:33.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, I mean the footage that has been

0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:38.359
<v Speaker 3>shared widely on social media of people filming the shooter

0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:40.679
<v Speaker 3>on the roof saying what's he doing?

0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:43.359
<v Speaker 2>And to know that the Secret Service were in that

0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:45.280
<v Speaker 2>building and no one took any action.

0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:47.239
<v Speaker 11>The policeman came up and actually saw him.

0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:49.640
<v Speaker 3>Why do I which she needs to answer those questions

0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:51.840
<v Speaker 3>about why there were those failings, And you're right, if

0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:55.480
<v Speaker 3>those questions aren't answered, then the conspiracy theories will continue

0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:59.280
<v Speaker 3>to grow. Now, just before we go, let's look at

0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:01.359
<v Speaker 3>more low local topic a media topic.

0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:04.159
<v Speaker 2>Channel nine has spent over three hundred million.

0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:06.720
<v Speaker 3>Dollars on the rights to the Olympics, but its own

0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:10.280
<v Speaker 3>coverage could be in jeopardy because, as the Cidney Morning Herald,

0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:13.119
<v Speaker 3>owned by nine, reports, staff have threatened to go on

0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:16.280
<v Speaker 3>strike if paid demands aren't met.

0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:17.800
<v Speaker 2>James.

0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:20.680
<v Speaker 3>Just today, the nine chief executive, Mike Sneezeby, was pictured

0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:24.320
<v Speaker 3>carrying the Olympic torch in Paris. Yet he might may

0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:27.800
<v Speaker 3>end up with only a handful of reporters to actually

0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:31.359
<v Speaker 3>rely on for the coverage when they've spent the network

0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:34.040
<v Speaker 3>over three hundred million dollars.

0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:38.560
<v Speaker 13>Well, I feel sorry for the shareholders of Channel nine

0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:43.080
<v Speaker 13>who have allowed the management to spend hundreds of millions

0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:46.320
<v Speaker 13>of dollars to get the Olympics coverage, and yet they've

0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:50.200
<v Speaker 13>got a managing director who seems tone deaf at best.

0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:56.119
<v Speaker 13>Are all incompetent that he's prepared to run along a

0:19:56.200 --> 0:20:00.240
<v Speaker 13>French village with the Olympic flame, Yet everybody's about to

0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:02.959
<v Speaker 13>go on strike. I don't know what's seen in the

0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:07.480
<v Speaker 13>water cooler on the executive boardroom at Channel nine or

0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:09.960
<v Speaker 13>the nine network, but they need to do something pretty

0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:12.880
<v Speaker 13>quickly and get that ship back in order.

0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:16.320
<v Speaker 3>James McGrath from and Bishop thank you both very much

0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:17.639
<v Speaker 3>for joining me this evening.

0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:20.959
<v Speaker 2>Now after the break, is Joe Biden in hiding.

0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:24.400
<v Speaker 3>Questions mount over a bizarre phone call from the president

0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:28.440
<v Speaker 3>as the Democratic favorite interest closer to becoming the nominee.

0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:31.080
<v Speaker 3>A former advisor in the Trump and Bush.

0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Administrations will join me next.

0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:37.800
<v Speaker 3>Plus, Labor downplays early election rumors again as new polls

0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:39.880
<v Speaker 3>reveal another blow to.

0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Albanis welcome back.

0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:48.679
<v Speaker 3>Well, as we've been discussing, it seems that Joe Biden

0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:51.800
<v Speaker 3>has been in virtual hiding since he announced on his

0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:54.720
<v Speaker 3>Twitter account that he wouldn't be running in.

0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:56.200
<v Speaker 2>The presidential race.

0:20:56.560 --> 0:20:59.720
<v Speaker 3>This has sparked questions about his willingness to drop out,

0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:02.720
<v Speaker 3>and there's now a spotlight on Biden's health and what

0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:06.359
<v Speaker 3>the Democrats and his close allies and none more than

0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:10.920
<v Speaker 3>Kamala Harris did to cover up and mask his decline. Well,

0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:13.520
<v Speaker 3>I spoke to former senior advisor in the Bush and

0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:16.200
<v Speaker 3>Trump administrations, Christian Witten.

0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:19.760
<v Speaker 2>About all of this a bit earlier. Christin, thank you

0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:20.720
<v Speaker 2>so much for your time.

0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:24.439
<v Speaker 3>We're seeing more details in newspaper reports of Biden's mental

0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:27.480
<v Speaker 3>incoherence at meetings as far back as twenty twenty one,

0:21:28.040 --> 0:21:31.240
<v Speaker 3>less than a year after he was elected president. Yet

0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:33.520
<v Speaker 3>the White House claimed this was fake news and TV

0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:35.200
<v Speaker 3>commentators covered up for him.

0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:38.159
<v Speaker 2>Do you think voters were seriously misled?

0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:41.320
<v Speaker 8>I think they were, although I think they've come to

0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:45.879
<v Speaker 8>expect this from a media that is very biased. Basically,

0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:49.199
<v Speaker 8>this reelection, which has been cast as a rematch for

0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:52.080
<v Speaker 8>some time, that a lot of the media, the left

0:21:52.119 --> 0:21:54.199
<v Speaker 8>wing media in the United States, and all of the

0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:57.919
<v Speaker 8>presidents enablers basically thought they had to do whatever was

0:21:58.000 --> 0:22:01.760
<v Speaker 8>necessary to defeat Donald trump potential resurgence, and if that

0:22:01.800 --> 0:22:07.280
<v Speaker 8>included misleading the people and also forestalling a competitive democratic

0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:11.040
<v Speaker 8>nomination process that would have allowed voters to choose whether

0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:13.840
<v Speaker 8>or not Biden Democratic voters to choose whether or not

0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:17.800
<v Speaker 8>Biden was senile or competent, that was all pushed aside.

0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:18.879
<v Speaker 7>I think voters are angry.

0:22:19.800 --> 0:22:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's such a good point.

0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:24.199
<v Speaker 3>There's no returning to the primaries, and Kamala Harris is

0:22:24.240 --> 0:22:27.960
<v Speaker 3>now all but the nominee. It means there's no democratic process,

0:22:28.080 --> 0:22:31.400
<v Speaker 3>no chance for delegates to have their say, and there's

0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:34.840
<v Speaker 3>no opportunity for other potential nominees to come forward.

0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:37.400
<v Speaker 7>It is. It's a real railroading.

0:22:38.119 --> 0:22:40.760
<v Speaker 8>You'll notice that one voice that has held back so

0:22:40.920 --> 0:22:42.640
<v Speaker 8>far as former President Obama.

0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:45.760
<v Speaker 7>Everyone else sort of among major figures.

0:22:46.320 --> 0:22:49.680
<v Speaker 8>Most other people have endorsed Harris, and I think Obama

0:22:49.720 --> 0:22:52.480
<v Speaker 8>is just holding back in case there is any resistance

0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:55.640
<v Speaker 8>to this coronation that's going to take place in under

0:22:55.640 --> 0:22:59.639
<v Speaker 8>a month at the Democrat convention in Chicago. So you know,

0:22:59.760 --> 0:23:04.040
<v Speaker 8>really the Democrats ought to have had a conversation and

0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:07.119
<v Speaker 8>a debate and a vote over the trajectory of their party,

0:23:07.119 --> 0:23:09.200
<v Speaker 8>whether they're going to come back to the center, which

0:23:09.240 --> 0:23:11.640
<v Speaker 8>is what labor just did in the United Kingdom and won,

0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:14.920
<v Speaker 8>where they're going to stay where they are, which is

0:23:15.000 --> 0:23:18.680
<v Speaker 8>economics that leads to out of control inflation, humiliation for

0:23:18.760 --> 0:23:23.480
<v Speaker 8>the United States abroad, and a very woke, culturally activist

0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:25.960
<v Speaker 8>domestic policy, which is what they've ended up with without

0:23:26.000 --> 0:23:27.800
<v Speaker 8>even having a vote Christian.

0:23:27.840 --> 0:23:31.760
<v Speaker 3>Why would the likes of Obama, Pelosi and others wait

0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:34.440
<v Speaker 3>so long to turn on Biden. Wouldn't they have been

0:23:34.520 --> 0:23:38.560
<v Speaker 3>better off giving the Democratic Party proper time to work

0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:39.400
<v Speaker 3>out a successor.

0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:42.919
<v Speaker 7>I think they're terrified of what might happen.

0:23:43.000 --> 0:23:45.359
<v Speaker 8>You know, don't mean to be too quaint, but if

0:23:45.359 --> 0:23:47.200
<v Speaker 8>you look at the end of the Soviet Union, when

0:23:47.240 --> 0:23:51.040
<v Speaker 8>they went from what Brezhnev to Gramikos tou Chernenko, people

0:23:51.080 --> 0:23:55.359
<v Speaker 8>who were clearly deep into their dotage, and it was

0:23:55.440 --> 0:23:57.960
<v Speaker 8>this fear of what a reformer, of what a new

0:23:58.119 --> 0:24:01.480
<v Speaker 8>fresh face might bring. Also means a loss of power

0:24:01.520 --> 0:24:03.639
<v Speaker 8>for them, a loss of ability to put their people

0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:07.760
<v Speaker 8>into powerful jobs or get lucrative campaign jobs that pay

0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:12.159
<v Speaker 8>that can pay for people. So given the choice of

0:24:12.320 --> 0:24:15.880
<v Speaker 8>opening up a can of worms and a future that's uncertained,

0:24:15.960 --> 0:24:18.480
<v Speaker 8>or going with someone they know and they frankly could control,

0:24:18.800 --> 0:24:21.040
<v Speaker 8>they tried to go the method of control.

0:24:21.520 --> 0:24:25.880
<v Speaker 3>Joe Biden today phoned into Kamala Harris's campaign event, yet

0:24:25.920 --> 0:24:28.720
<v Speaker 3>he hasn't appeared in person. There was just a statement

0:24:28.800 --> 0:24:32.400
<v Speaker 3>released on his Twitter account. Do you find this behavior

0:24:32.840 --> 0:24:34.680
<v Speaker 3>highly unusual for a president?

0:24:35.280 --> 0:24:38.280
<v Speaker 8>Very unusual for a president. He's not a young man,

0:24:38.320 --> 0:24:40.960
<v Speaker 8>and he does have COVID. On the other hand, his

0:24:41.000 --> 0:24:45.000
<v Speaker 8>own physician put in writing today for his press secretary

0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:47.520
<v Speaker 8>that he's recovering very well, that all of his symptoms

0:24:47.560 --> 0:24:50.560
<v Speaker 8>have pretty much cleared up, Which raises the question.

0:24:50.359 --> 0:24:52.160
<v Speaker 7>Why isn't he back in Washington?

0:24:52.240 --> 0:24:56.119
<v Speaker 8>Prime Minister Beton Benjamin Nott and Yahoo of Israel is

0:24:56.160 --> 0:24:58.080
<v Speaker 8>coming and the two men don't like each other, but

0:24:58.160 --> 0:25:01.240
<v Speaker 8>nonetheless we are too important allies and he should be

0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:04.560
<v Speaker 8>in Washington to receive him in addition to his campaign duties.

0:25:04.600 --> 0:25:07.840
<v Speaker 8>So I think probably Biden is very disappointed and very

0:25:07.840 --> 0:25:10.840
<v Speaker 8>irritated at what's happened. He probably views this as a

0:25:10.920 --> 0:25:13.760
<v Speaker 8>betrayal by those who are closest to him and the party.

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:17.280
<v Speaker 3>We also saw the head of the Secret Service facing

0:25:17.440 --> 0:25:21.720
<v Speaker 3>questioning today. Do you think she gave any adequate explanation

0:25:21.920 --> 0:25:25.280
<v Speaker 3>over the major security failures that led to Trump almost

0:25:25.320 --> 0:25:26.960
<v Speaker 3>being assassinated?

0:25:27.280 --> 0:25:30.160
<v Speaker 8>No, there are still way too many questions. The answers

0:25:30.160 --> 0:25:33.159
<v Speaker 8>that have been given are duplicitus or misleading.

0:25:33.280 --> 0:25:36.120
<v Speaker 7>Saying that this was a sloped roof.

0:25:36.240 --> 0:25:39.840
<v Speaker 8>One of the Republican congressmen who's seventy years old, got up.

0:25:39.720 --> 0:25:41.120
<v Speaker 7>And was walking around the roof.

0:25:41.160 --> 0:25:43.520
<v Speaker 8>It's a very mild slope, and he joked that he

0:25:43.560 --> 0:25:45.960
<v Speaker 8>could be up there all day. She said that the

0:25:46.000 --> 0:25:49.240
<v Speaker 8>structure was outside of the perimeter. That's absurd to anyone

0:25:49.240 --> 0:25:51.800
<v Speaker 8>who's ever fired a rifle, whether you're a good shot

0:25:51.920 --> 0:25:55.640
<v Speaker 8>or not. A huge breakdown, one of the most acrimonious

0:25:56.000 --> 0:25:59.520
<v Speaker 8>hearings I've seen since the impeachment or the Iraq War

0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:02.639
<v Speaker 8>on Capitol Hill, and it leads the question of what

0:26:02.720 --> 0:26:05.520
<v Speaker 8>she's protecting, who she's covering up for, Whether there are

0:26:05.520 --> 0:26:10.480
<v Speaker 8>messages between her and the Homeland Security Secretary who oversees

0:26:10.520 --> 0:26:13.000
<v Speaker 8>her department that are, you know, say, don't give Trump

0:26:13.080 --> 0:26:16.520
<v Speaker 8>adequate security. There's more than we're being allowed to see.

0:26:16.560 --> 0:26:18.600
<v Speaker 8>I think the truth will come out, but it certainly

0:26:18.640 --> 0:26:19.880
<v Speaker 8>hasn't come out so far.

0:26:21.240 --> 0:26:26.119
<v Speaker 3>Christian just finally, if Democratic donors' political advisors and members

0:26:26.119 --> 0:26:29.720
<v Speaker 3>of Congress came to the conclusion that Joe Biden wasn't

0:26:29.760 --> 0:26:32.640
<v Speaker 3>fit to serve another term as president, what.

0:26:32.760 --> 0:26:35.280
<v Speaker 2>Makes him fit to remain in the role now?

0:26:36.040 --> 0:26:39.160
<v Speaker 8>Really nothing does unless he could say, well, he's perfectly

0:26:39.200 --> 0:26:41.720
<v Speaker 8>fit now, he just didn't, you know, couldn't handle another

0:26:41.760 --> 0:26:44.800
<v Speaker 8>four years of the presidency. But he's not really saying that.

0:26:45.200 --> 0:26:48.440
<v Speaker 8>And as we all saw on the stage, all of us,

0:26:48.480 --> 0:26:51.920
<v Speaker 8>all of us around the world, America's friends and America's adversaries,

0:26:52.119 --> 0:26:55.320
<v Speaker 8>he's clearly not someone who's competent to handle a crisis

0:26:55.400 --> 0:26:56.000
<v Speaker 8>right now.

0:26:56.520 --> 0:26:58.520
<v Speaker 7>I think he thinks he has to stay president.

0:26:58.560 --> 0:27:01.200
<v Speaker 8>He's going to pardon his son and his brother and

0:27:01.520 --> 0:27:03.719
<v Speaker 8>the rest of his family, but he can't do that

0:27:03.920 --> 0:27:07.720
<v Speaker 8>until after the election, so he's not going anywhere. But

0:27:07.880 --> 0:27:11.080
<v Speaker 8>I think it's it's probably an unwise choice for the

0:27:11.160 --> 0:27:12.600
<v Speaker 8>nation security.

0:27:13.000 --> 0:27:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Kristin, thank you very much for your time.

0:27:16.480 --> 0:27:17.879
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, thanks my pleasure anytime.

0:27:19.040 --> 0:27:20.879
<v Speaker 3>All right, Well, come back to us politics a bit

0:27:20.960 --> 0:27:23.480
<v Speaker 3>later on the show. But let's turn now to matters

0:27:23.480 --> 0:27:25.840
<v Speaker 3>on the home front, and it has been a bruising

0:27:25.920 --> 0:27:29.000
<v Speaker 3>month for Labor in the polls. News Poll showed the

0:27:29.040 --> 0:27:32.639
<v Speaker 3>coalition up two points in primary vote support, and the

0:27:32.720 --> 0:27:37.680
<v Speaker 3>latest Freshwater Strategy poll shows the coalition ahead of Albanesi's

0:27:37.760 --> 0:27:41.359
<v Speaker 3>Labor government by fifty one to forty nine percent on

0:27:41.400 --> 0:27:41.920
<v Speaker 3>a two.

0:27:41.760 --> 0:27:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Party preferred basis.

0:27:43.880 --> 0:27:47.080
<v Speaker 3>This is the first time Dutton is ahead of alban

0:27:47.119 --> 0:27:51.080
<v Speaker 3>Ezi in this poll, and Freshwater Strategy director Leo Shanahan

0:27:51.280 --> 0:27:51.720
<v Speaker 3>joins me.

0:27:51.800 --> 0:27:54.719
<v Speaker 2>Now, Leo, thank you very much for your time.

0:27:55.040 --> 0:27:58.399
<v Speaker 3>Well, just how significant is this result that Dutton's now

0:27:58.800 --> 0:27:59.760
<v Speaker 3>ahead of alban Easy.

0:28:00.119 --> 0:28:02.639
<v Speaker 16>Yeah, thanks Sherian, welcome back, glad you did this as

0:28:02.720 --> 0:28:08.520
<v Speaker 16>much news. Look, it is significant. Look, it's a milestone.

0:28:08.680 --> 0:28:13.119
<v Speaker 16>It's not a milestone of overwhelming significance, given it still

0:28:13.160 --> 0:28:17.000
<v Speaker 16>within that kind of margin of error, but it is

0:28:17.040 --> 0:28:20.159
<v Speaker 16>still a milestone and it's one that the government wouldn't

0:28:20.160 --> 0:28:22.080
<v Speaker 16>want to be seeing. And I wouldn't be surprised if

0:28:22.119 --> 0:28:25.560
<v Speaker 16>it's pretty soon replicated in a couple of the other

0:28:25.640 --> 0:28:30.119
<v Speaker 16>major polls, including News Poll. Look, it does mean that

0:28:30.200 --> 0:28:34.320
<v Speaker 16>on these numbers, and you should always say that swings

0:28:34.440 --> 0:28:38.400
<v Speaker 16>are never consistent across seats. But if that was to

0:28:38.440 --> 0:28:42.280
<v Speaker 16>be replicated in an election, the government would fall into

0:28:42.800 --> 0:28:47.480
<v Speaker 16>minority status. Now, on those numbers, we would have the government,

0:28:47.800 --> 0:28:51.920
<v Speaker 16>the Labor government full innked about seventy one seats and

0:28:52.120 --> 0:28:55.120
<v Speaker 16>the coalition picking up about eight seats. So that would

0:28:55.120 --> 0:28:57.720
<v Speaker 16>mean puts them in a very awkward position. They would

0:28:57.800 --> 0:29:01.400
<v Speaker 16>have to get the support of the MARS and or

0:29:01.800 --> 0:29:06.560
<v Speaker 16>many of the Independence or a CATA or a Central

0:29:07.040 --> 0:29:10.280
<v Speaker 16>Alliance soment remaining government.

0:29:10.600 --> 0:29:13.400
<v Speaker 3>Now, let's talk about the key issues that are causing

0:29:14.000 --> 0:29:16.600
<v Speaker 3>Labor and albin Easy to lose support of the people.

0:29:16.600 --> 0:29:18.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean, obviously the cost of living is the number

0:29:18.960 --> 0:29:22.520
<v Speaker 3>one issue, but also you're seeing immigration and crime.

0:29:23.160 --> 0:29:25.680
<v Speaker 16>Yeah, look at these issues. Let's just look at some

0:29:25.760 --> 0:29:28.840
<v Speaker 16>of these key issues. And it's it's really significant because

0:29:30.120 --> 0:29:33.280
<v Speaker 16>if you look at what what pulses do is not

0:29:33.360 --> 0:29:36.440
<v Speaker 16>just look at who's ahead and you know why governments.

0:29:36.600 --> 0:29:40.240
<v Speaker 16>You want to look at why governments fall behind, why

0:29:40.240 --> 0:29:42.760
<v Speaker 16>old positions are resurgent, and it's the issues on which

0:29:42.800 --> 0:29:46.000
<v Speaker 16>people place emphasis. Now, if you look at some of

0:29:46.040 --> 0:29:51.240
<v Speaker 16>those key issues where labor is losing support, management of

0:29:51.280 --> 0:29:55.040
<v Speaker 16>the economy, immigration and asylum, crime and social order, these

0:29:55.040 --> 0:30:00.479
<v Speaker 16>have all risen in terms of importance in the gender

0:30:01.040 --> 0:30:04.840
<v Speaker 16>of people's priorities, So that is significant to climb. But

0:30:05.400 --> 0:30:09.360
<v Speaker 16>the key one there and the most significant is the

0:30:09.360 --> 0:30:10.880
<v Speaker 16>cost and standard of living.

0:30:10.960 --> 0:30:13.120
<v Speaker 3>Consistently supplies to anyone watching.

0:30:12.800 --> 0:30:16.520
<v Speaker 16>This too, exactly consistently, the cost and standard of living

0:30:16.640 --> 0:30:21.520
<v Speaker 16>is overwhelmingly the biggest priority, for the largest priority for Australians.

0:30:21.560 --> 0:30:23.600
<v Speaker 16>If you look at you know our numbers have it

0:30:23.640 --> 0:30:28.000
<v Speaker 16>by far and away seventy three percent. So it is

0:30:28.080 --> 0:30:30.320
<v Speaker 16>cost and standard of living in terms of the most

0:30:30.400 --> 0:30:34.000
<v Speaker 16>important issue and daylight second. Now, as you see in

0:30:34.040 --> 0:30:38.760
<v Speaker 16>those graphs, the Coalition has opened up a twelve point

0:30:38.960 --> 0:30:44.640
<v Speaker 16>lead over Albanese's Labor government in terms of cost and standards.

0:30:44.760 --> 0:30:47.880
<v Speaker 3>Just to explain that a bit, so voters or Australians

0:30:47.880 --> 0:30:50.360
<v Speaker 3>at the moment think that Dutton would better be able

0:30:50.400 --> 0:30:52.320
<v Speaker 3>to handle the cost of living crisis.

0:30:51.920 --> 0:30:54.280
<v Speaker 16>Than Albany's by a margin of twelve points. And not

0:30:54.320 --> 0:30:58.479
<v Speaker 16>only that, it was Labor that had a lead of

0:30:58.520 --> 0:31:02.880
<v Speaker 16>twelve points on the same issue back in twenty twenty two.

0:31:03.240 --> 0:31:08.280
<v Speaker 16>So that is a twenty four point decrease in fall

0:31:08.560 --> 0:31:11.920
<v Speaker 16>in Labour's ability to handle this issue.

0:31:11.920 --> 0:31:14.560
<v Speaker 3>And it's fascinating between voters because back in the.

0:31:14.520 --> 0:31:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Twenty twenty two election.

0:31:16.520 --> 0:31:19.640
<v Speaker 3>Everyone will remember that Albertezi went to the polls and

0:31:19.720 --> 0:31:23.320
<v Speaker 3>his main campaign platform was that life would be more affordable.

0:31:23.360 --> 0:31:25.560
<v Speaker 3>It was the cost of living crisis at the time.

0:31:25.640 --> 0:31:29.120
<v Speaker 3>It was everything from petrol prices to the single interest

0:31:29.200 --> 0:31:29.920
<v Speaker 3>rate rise.

0:31:29.720 --> 0:31:31.400
<v Speaker 2>That happened in the election campaign.

0:31:31.800 --> 0:31:34.040
<v Speaker 3>But you know, you fast forward a couple of years

0:31:34.520 --> 0:31:39.880
<v Speaker 3>and life is far more unaffordable. Everything from grocery prices, petrol,

0:31:40.000 --> 0:31:42.480
<v Speaker 3>power bills, everything's gone up and people are just struggling

0:31:42.800 --> 0:31:45.480
<v Speaker 3>even more. And they probably look at the Prime Minister

0:31:45.520 --> 0:31:48.160
<v Speaker 3>and they say, well, you promised this was your campaign platform.

0:31:48.200 --> 0:31:52.000
<v Speaker 3>You promised to fix this, but it's just worse. So

0:31:52.080 --> 0:31:54.440
<v Speaker 3>in effect he decided to own that issue.

0:31:54.440 --> 0:31:55.160
<v Speaker 2>He didn't have to.

0:31:55.480 --> 0:31:57.600
<v Speaker 16>And it's the key to the trend. It's the key

0:31:57.640 --> 0:32:00.560
<v Speaker 16>to the trend. The trend is brutal against the government

0:32:00.560 --> 0:32:04.000
<v Speaker 16>at the moment in terms of support in terms of

0:32:04.040 --> 0:32:07.520
<v Speaker 16>both primary TPP. The other poles are showing it. And

0:32:07.560 --> 0:32:10.480
<v Speaker 16>the key is really the ability to handle this cost

0:32:10.480 --> 0:32:14.040
<v Speaker 16>of living issue. Because you said, they chose to own it.

0:32:14.440 --> 0:32:18.760
<v Speaker 16>The budget sought to rectify that. To be frank, it

0:32:18.840 --> 0:32:23.240
<v Speaker 16>has not worked. And this is also why the alp

0:32:23.760 --> 0:32:27.960
<v Speaker 16>government probably wants to go to another budget before the

0:32:28.040 --> 0:32:31.040
<v Speaker 16>election to try and rectify that because the budget has

0:32:31.120 --> 0:32:31.880
<v Speaker 16>fallen flat.

0:32:32.120 --> 0:32:35.080
<v Speaker 3>I mean, the reports just don't stop coming in the

0:32:35.120 --> 0:32:36.840
<v Speaker 3>media about where the Labor would head.

0:32:36.680 --> 0:32:37.600
<v Speaker 2>To an early election.

0:32:38.120 --> 0:32:40.560
<v Speaker 3>But as you just said, Leo, the government does probably

0:32:40.560 --> 0:32:42.440
<v Speaker 3>want to go to another budget first, and the Prime

0:32:42.480 --> 0:32:46.400
<v Speaker 3>Minister has said very clearly he wants to serve out

0:32:46.440 --> 0:32:48.880
<v Speaker 3>the full term. He wishes it was a four year term,

0:32:48.920 --> 0:32:51.640
<v Speaker 3>not a three year term. So I just can't see,

0:32:52.200 --> 0:32:54.360
<v Speaker 3>and I've spoken to insiders as well, but I just

0:32:54.440 --> 0:32:57.000
<v Speaker 3>can't see any situation where he does go to the

0:32:57.000 --> 0:32:58.080
<v Speaker 3>polls later this year.

0:32:58.480 --> 0:33:02.120
<v Speaker 16>Yeah, Look, the mechanics of it are increasingly difficult, I

0:33:02.160 --> 0:33:04.719
<v Speaker 16>think to go to an early election. I thought there

0:33:04.720 --> 0:33:07.880
<v Speaker 16>would be an early election, but I think the arithmetic

0:33:07.960 --> 0:33:11.520
<v Speaker 16>is increasingly difficult. October is basically impossible. They're going to

0:33:11.560 --> 0:33:13.200
<v Speaker 16>go to a September election. He has to call the

0:33:13.240 --> 0:33:15.760
<v Speaker 16>election within the next couple of weeks. Do you really

0:33:15.800 --> 0:33:17.680
<v Speaker 16>see an election being called in the next couple of weeks.

0:33:17.680 --> 0:33:20.440
<v Speaker 3>But once a rate cut, he wants to say that

0:33:20.480 --> 0:33:23.000
<v Speaker 3>he's got on top of this cost of living crisis,

0:33:23.040 --> 0:33:25.000
<v Speaker 3>and the only chime and there's not going to be

0:33:25.040 --> 0:33:27.480
<v Speaker 3>a rate cut this year unfortunately, so the only chance

0:33:27.520 --> 0:33:29.600
<v Speaker 3>is potentially in the first quarter next year.

0:33:30.120 --> 0:33:32.560
<v Speaker 2>Shanahan, great to have you with us. Thank you very much,

0:33:32.600 --> 0:33:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Thanks very Now still to.

0:33:34.280 --> 0:33:38.440
<v Speaker 3>Come Joe Biden's eleventh hour snug of Israel's Prime Minister

0:33:38.640 --> 0:33:43.880
<v Speaker 3>Benjamin nettin Yahoo even after you're ready touchdown in Washington.

0:33:44.240 --> 0:33:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Plus, you won't.

0:33:44.960 --> 0:33:47.840
<v Speaker 3>Believe how much tax pay is bogged out for Stephen

0:33:47.920 --> 0:33:49.560
<v Speaker 3>Miles private chats.

0:33:49.600 --> 0:33:56.600
<v Speaker 2>All of that coming up for the break welcome back.

0:33:56.680 --> 0:33:56.880
<v Speaker 12>Well.

0:33:57.000 --> 0:34:01.280
<v Speaker 3>Donations are flooding in for Kamala Harris, as seems inevitable

0:34:01.400 --> 0:34:05.400
<v Speaker 3>the Vice President will become the Democrats presidential nominee, and

0:34:05.440 --> 0:34:08.800
<v Speaker 3>she's now said to have secured enough delicate support.

0:34:09.280 --> 0:34:10.680
<v Speaker 2>But even with this.

0:34:10.800 --> 0:34:14.400
<v Speaker 3>Dream start, there's a monumental task for her ahead, and

0:34:14.480 --> 0:34:17.439
<v Speaker 3>the question still remains, is she up to the top

0:34:17.560 --> 0:34:21.640
<v Speaker 3>job and is the world prepared for four more years

0:34:22.000 --> 0:34:22.439
<v Speaker 3>of this?

0:34:23.920 --> 0:34:26.160
<v Speaker 2>I am not here to replace your mother.

0:34:26.600 --> 0:34:29.879
<v Speaker 9>You have that one mother and I'm the second mother.

0:34:30.360 --> 0:34:32.560
<v Speaker 2>Mamala, Right, Mamala, you think.

0:34:32.360 --> 0:34:34.799
<v Speaker 15>You just fell out of a coconut tree.

0:34:36.520 --> 0:34:39.160
<v Speaker 2>You exist in the context.

0:34:40.280 --> 0:34:42.840
<v Speaker 9>Of all in which you live and what came before

0:34:43.000 --> 0:34:44.000
<v Speaker 9>We are going to the border.

0:34:44.080 --> 0:34:45.080
<v Speaker 2>We've been to the border.

0:34:45.280 --> 0:34:48.560
<v Speaker 9>So this whole, this whole, this whole thing about the border.

0:34:48.600 --> 0:34:49.760
<v Speaker 2>We've been to the border.

0:34:50.160 --> 0:34:52.240
<v Speaker 7>We've been to the border. You haven't been to the border,

0:34:53.320 --> 0:34:54.880
<v Speaker 7>and I haven't been to Europe.

0:34:57.200 --> 0:34:59.919
<v Speaker 3>Never forget that last interview, wasn't it shocking? We're joining

0:34:59.920 --> 0:35:02.719
<v Speaker 3>me now to discuss SKY News host kayleb Bond and

0:35:02.840 --> 0:35:05.600
<v Speaker 3>National's MP Keith Pitt. I mean, Keith, when you look

0:35:05.600 --> 0:35:07.719
<v Speaker 3>at clips like this and then you've got Biden and

0:35:07.719 --> 0:35:09.960
<v Speaker 3>then you've got Trump, well it makes you like in

0:35:10.040 --> 0:35:14.320
<v Speaker 3>canbra look like professional politicians, like the world best?

0:35:16.880 --> 0:35:18.680
<v Speaker 17>Of course we're the best of the world. Charry, what

0:35:18.680 --> 0:35:21.680
<v Speaker 17>else right I say? But like Kamala Harris, I think

0:35:21.719 --> 0:35:24.080
<v Speaker 17>there's some big advantages and big disadvantages. And I think

0:35:24.239 --> 0:35:27.359
<v Speaker 17>the first disadvantages I've barely heard of her. I really

0:35:27.360 --> 0:35:29.400
<v Speaker 17>haven't heard much about her at all, really, But the

0:35:29.440 --> 0:35:32.720
<v Speaker 17>advantage is she can completely she can completely remake herself

0:35:33.200 --> 0:35:36.040
<v Speaker 17>between now on the election of November, she can put

0:35:36.080 --> 0:35:38.600
<v Speaker 17>herself forward as pretty much anything. But as the leader

0:35:38.640 --> 0:35:41.759
<v Speaker 17>of the free world, you've got to be concerned. It's

0:35:41.800 --> 0:35:44.680
<v Speaker 17>a really challenging period of time. There's challenges to the

0:35:44.680 --> 0:35:47.600
<v Speaker 17>world order. The US plays such a big part in

0:35:47.640 --> 0:35:50.440
<v Speaker 17>world security. Is this really the right choice for the

0:35:50.480 --> 0:35:52.560
<v Speaker 17>United States? Well, I guess we'll find out.

0:35:53.280 --> 0:35:53.360
<v Speaker 7>No.

0:35:53.480 --> 0:35:56.719
<v Speaker 3>I have heard that been said over the past couple

0:35:56.760 --> 0:35:59.640
<v Speaker 3>of days that a lot of Americans don't know her.

0:35:59.520 --> 0:36:02.319
<v Speaker 2>So she can now define who she is. I find

0:36:02.360 --> 0:36:02.879
<v Speaker 2>that hard to.

0:36:02.840 --> 0:36:06.040
<v Speaker 3>Believe as a close observer of politics, but nonetheless that

0:36:06.080 --> 0:36:09.520
<v Speaker 3>could be true. Cayleb But what about this other point.

0:36:09.600 --> 0:36:12.600
<v Speaker 3>Many are saying that she was just a diversity pick

0:36:12.760 --> 0:36:15.879
<v Speaker 3>as the VP, and that she doesn't have the substance

0:36:16.160 --> 0:36:17.200
<v Speaker 3>to be president.

0:36:17.320 --> 0:36:19.480
<v Speaker 2>What do you think of those criticisms of her.

0:36:19.800 --> 0:36:22.560
<v Speaker 1>I think those criticisms are quite correct. I mean the

0:36:23.440 --> 0:36:26.359
<v Speaker 1>idea that someone who was appointed and of course these

0:36:26.400 --> 0:36:28.840
<v Speaker 1>decisions are often made when it comes to VP. You know,

0:36:28.880 --> 0:36:31.560
<v Speaker 1>you want to fit a certain demographic or attract a

0:36:31.600 --> 0:36:35.080
<v Speaker 1>certain vote. And she had the ethnicity and the woman

0:36:35.200 --> 0:36:38.600
<v Speaker 1>factor right, which was good for a straight old white

0:36:38.640 --> 0:36:41.239
<v Speaker 1>man who'd been in politics since he was twenty nine,

0:36:41.560 --> 0:36:44.839
<v Speaker 1>like Joe Biden. But the idea that she could genuinely

0:36:44.880 --> 0:36:47.799
<v Speaker 1>be president of the United States. I see Keith has

0:36:47.840 --> 0:36:50.759
<v Speaker 1>a Bunderberg Ginger Beer sitting behind him there. I'd be

0:36:50.840 --> 0:36:52.840
<v Speaker 1>rushing to put a bit of bunderberg rum in that

0:36:52.960 --> 0:36:57.560
<v Speaker 1>at that idea, because she is finally unburdened by what

0:36:57.680 --> 0:37:00.000
<v Speaker 1>has been, as she likes to say, with Joe out

0:37:00.080 --> 0:37:03.720
<v Speaker 1>of the way. But her polling has consistently been worse

0:37:03.800 --> 0:37:07.440
<v Speaker 1>than Joe Biden's, and that really is a feat. And

0:37:07.480 --> 0:37:10.279
<v Speaker 1>we've made jokes for the better part of the four

0:37:10.320 --> 0:37:13.160
<v Speaker 1>odd years that Joe's been present that you know, he's

0:37:13.160 --> 0:37:15.680
<v Speaker 1>one sneeze away from carking it, and that if he

0:37:15.760 --> 0:37:17.960
<v Speaker 1>does that, what we're going to end up with is

0:37:18.080 --> 0:37:21.560
<v Speaker 1>worse than Joe Biden himself, which again is an extraordinary proposition.

0:37:21.960 --> 0:37:25.400
<v Speaker 1>So for her to actually be a saleable politician to Americans,

0:37:25.560 --> 0:37:27.400
<v Speaker 1>I just can't see it happening. But the trouble for

0:37:27.440 --> 0:37:29.319
<v Speaker 1>the Dems is they don't really have anything else.

0:37:29.600 --> 0:37:32.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, they might have if they'd had a proper debate

0:37:32.080 --> 0:37:35.799
<v Speaker 3>process and allowed candidates to emerge, to put the hand

0:37:35.880 --> 0:37:38.759
<v Speaker 3>up and then be thoroughly tested on a range of issues.

0:37:38.440 --> 0:37:40.800
<v Speaker 1>Well correct. I feel like the real problem now though,

0:37:41.000 --> 0:37:44.000
<v Speaker 1>is that after Trump being shot at, I mean, it's

0:37:44.080 --> 0:37:46.600
<v Speaker 1>essentially a lay down mazaire for him, it would have

0:37:46.680 --> 0:37:50.239
<v Speaker 1>to be someone extraordinary to beat Donald Trump, and if

0:37:50.239 --> 0:37:53.959
<v Speaker 1>you put up a genuinely good candidate who perhaps isn't

0:37:54.080 --> 0:37:57.040
<v Speaker 1>enough to beat him, you're essentially burning them four years

0:37:57.040 --> 0:37:58.719
<v Speaker 1>earlier than you'd want to you'd want to go in

0:37:58.760 --> 0:37:59.600
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty eight.

0:38:00.000 --> 0:38:02.680
<v Speaker 3>The other way of looking at it is you're increasing

0:38:02.800 --> 0:38:05.879
<v Speaker 3>their name recognition to give them a better chance next time.

0:38:05.920 --> 0:38:07.799
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that's the optimistic way of looking at it.

0:38:07.800 --> 0:38:10.839
<v Speaker 3>Increasing the name recognition. I mean, that's why Vivek Ramaswami

0:38:11.000 --> 0:38:13.400
<v Speaker 3>run this time, to give him a better shot in

0:38:13.400 --> 0:38:17.359
<v Speaker 3>the future. But Israeli Prime Minister Venture Nettiya, who touched

0:38:17.360 --> 0:38:19.399
<v Speaker 3>down in Washington, DC today.

0:38:19.719 --> 0:38:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Only to be met with the news that his.

0:38:21.600 --> 0:38:25.600
<v Speaker 3>Meeting with Biden had been canceled as the as the

0:38:25.640 --> 0:38:30.520
<v Speaker 3>current president still recovers from COVID. This is a snub, though,

0:38:30.600 --> 0:38:33.800
<v Speaker 3>Keith Pitt, because the White House physician said that Biden's

0:38:33.800 --> 0:38:36.480
<v Speaker 3>symptoms have all but cleared. There's been no news that

0:38:36.520 --> 0:38:39.320
<v Speaker 3>the meeting has been rescheduled for later in the week.

0:38:39.480 --> 0:38:42.319
<v Speaker 3>We know they've got a very difficult relationship. In fact,

0:38:42.360 --> 0:38:46.239
<v Speaker 3>the reports were that Joe Biden wanted to delay his

0:38:46.320 --> 0:38:48.279
<v Speaker 3>announcement that he was stepping back from the race so

0:38:48.360 --> 0:38:51.000
<v Speaker 3>that he wouldn't give Nettaya who the satisfaction.

0:38:51.480 --> 0:38:53.440
<v Speaker 2>That's unbelievable given.

0:38:53.160 --> 0:38:59.040
<v Speaker 3>The US is meant to be Israel's closest and firmest ally.

0:39:00.160 --> 0:39:03.399
<v Speaker 17>It is really concerning Shari. I mean, I remember very

0:39:03.400 --> 0:39:05.720
<v Speaker 17>clearly the COVID period here when we were in government,

0:39:06.239 --> 0:39:08.120
<v Speaker 17>and you know, you could have a face to face

0:39:08.160 --> 0:39:10.320
<v Speaker 17>meeting if you lock up in quarantine and you're unwell.

0:39:10.719 --> 0:39:12.400
<v Speaker 17>But there was lots of things that we had to do,

0:39:12.600 --> 0:39:15.439
<v Speaker 17>even though we were quite six. But I remember doing

0:39:15.640 --> 0:39:19.040
<v Speaker 17>a live speech into the Northern Territory Energy Club in Darwin,

0:39:19.400 --> 0:39:22.440
<v Speaker 17>hundreds of people attending on an iPad on top of

0:39:22.440 --> 0:39:25.600
<v Speaker 17>the ironing board in my apartment in canber and with

0:39:25.640 --> 0:39:27.640
<v Speaker 17>a light shine on my face, I terribly had well.

0:39:27.960 --> 0:39:30.359
<v Speaker 17>But the idea that you can't even do that, I mean,

0:39:30.400 --> 0:39:33.840
<v Speaker 17>that is really concerning. The US has been very vocal

0:39:33.840 --> 0:39:36.560
<v Speaker 17>about their support, as they should be, that they are

0:39:36.600 --> 0:39:40.640
<v Speaker 17>backing an outcome in Israel which should ensure that there

0:39:40.640 --> 0:39:43.120
<v Speaker 17>are no further terrorist attacks, and I think that's something

0:39:43.120 --> 0:39:46.520
<v Speaker 17>that we should all support. But the idea that they're

0:39:46.520 --> 0:39:50.279
<v Speaker 17>playing games with Netanyahu in country, I think that's a

0:39:50.360 --> 0:39:51.280
<v Speaker 17>high risk endeavor.

0:39:51.600 --> 0:39:55.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, incredibly rude especially to an Ala. Fine, if he's

0:39:55.480 --> 0:39:57.640
<v Speaker 3>not well enough, or he might still have symptoms, maybe

0:39:57.640 --> 0:40:01.359
<v Speaker 3>he doesn't want to get Natiya who sick postpone it say, yep,

0:40:01.480 --> 0:40:02.400
<v Speaker 3>we've had to counsel it.

0:40:02.440 --> 0:40:04.759
<v Speaker 2>Cheezy a friend call exactly well, but.

0:40:04.960 --> 0:40:07.560
<v Speaker 3>He's already in the United States, is they he's in Washington.

0:40:08.360 --> 0:40:12.160
<v Speaker 3>Let's turn to Queensland. Premier Stephen Miles is now under

0:40:12.160 --> 0:40:16.800
<v Speaker 3>scrutiny for taking two jets during his five day crime

0:40:16.880 --> 0:40:22.040
<v Speaker 3>policy tour. Caleb, what has these politicians obsession with private planes?

0:40:22.239 --> 0:40:24.960
<v Speaker 1>I know, and it's been worked out that they could

0:40:24.960 --> 0:40:28.520
<v Speaker 1>well have taken commercial flights on every single one of

0:40:28.520 --> 0:40:32.520
<v Speaker 1>those routes, with the times lining up almost exactly to

0:40:32.600 --> 0:40:35.080
<v Speaker 1>the times that these private planes took off, and they

0:40:35.080 --> 0:40:37.960
<v Speaker 1>went all up regional Queensland and whatever and all they

0:40:38.080 --> 0:40:40.359
<v Speaker 1>had to do to get I mean, they took two plants, right,

0:40:40.480 --> 0:40:42.799
<v Speaker 1>they could have had it down to one plane if

0:40:42.800 --> 0:40:46.160
<v Speaker 1>they'd simply booted one or two staffers off and made

0:40:46.360 --> 0:40:49.320
<v Speaker 1>them fly commercial. They should all have been flying commercial

0:40:49.360 --> 0:40:51.200
<v Speaker 1>in the first place. But all it would have taken

0:40:51.520 --> 0:40:54.319
<v Speaker 1>is to put two people on a commercial flight and

0:40:54.360 --> 0:40:56.680
<v Speaker 1>you would have have the cost which by the way.

0:40:56.719 --> 0:40:59.440
<v Speaker 1>We still have not been told to go on this

0:40:59.760 --> 0:41:02.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, magical mystery tour to go and tell Queensland

0:41:02.280 --> 0:41:03.520
<v Speaker 1>is how a you're going to fix the youth crime

0:41:03.600 --> 0:41:05.800
<v Speaker 1>crisis that you haven't been able to fix for the

0:41:05.880 --> 0:41:06.760
<v Speaker 1>last four years.

0:41:07.080 --> 0:41:08.080
<v Speaker 2>It is a lot than that.

0:41:08.600 --> 0:41:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, well, but it is an absolute outrage and

0:41:12.800 --> 0:41:16.120
<v Speaker 1>the fact that no one, be it Miles or any

0:41:16.120 --> 0:41:20.359
<v Speaker 1>of his advisors. I wonder, coming into an election year,

0:41:20.760 --> 0:41:23.480
<v Speaker 1>what people will think and a cost of living crisis,

0:41:23.719 --> 0:41:26.319
<v Speaker 1>that we spend money on two private plans to go

0:41:26.360 --> 0:41:29.760
<v Speaker 1>and lecture people in regional Queensland about how we're finally

0:41:29.800 --> 0:41:32.120
<v Speaker 1>going to fix the youth crime crisis. How will people

0:41:32.120 --> 0:41:34.080
<v Speaker 1>look at that? No one thought about that?

0:41:34.280 --> 0:41:38.640
<v Speaker 3>Just extraordinary Keith Pitt, you're obviously a politician. We've seen

0:41:38.719 --> 0:41:43.680
<v Speaker 3>this same trend of private jet use by Anthony Alberizi

0:41:43.800 --> 0:41:47.080
<v Speaker 3>and Labor taking two private jets to a climate change

0:41:47.400 --> 0:41:51.479
<v Speaker 3>sustainability announcement. You know, is there something that afflicts both

0:41:51.520 --> 0:41:53.600
<v Speaker 3>sides of politics? Do you think when you guys are

0:41:53.600 --> 0:41:56.319
<v Speaker 3>back in government, maybe you shouldn't use the private jets.

0:41:58.360 --> 0:41:58.640
<v Speaker 12>Shari.

0:41:58.680 --> 0:42:01.000
<v Speaker 17>It's a big country and one of the things you've

0:42:01.000 --> 0:42:04.239
<v Speaker 17>got a great shortage of in politics's time, so that

0:42:04.320 --> 0:42:07.000
<v Speaker 17>there are always times when it is actually the smart move.

0:42:07.760 --> 0:42:09.560
<v Speaker 17>If you're the Prime Minister and leader of the opposition,

0:42:10.520 --> 0:42:12.839
<v Speaker 17>there are genuine reasons to do it. But I think

0:42:12.840 --> 0:42:16.560
<v Speaker 17>Steven Miles they should change his nickname from Giggles to Stevie.

0:42:16.600 --> 0:42:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Two planes.

0:42:17.800 --> 0:42:19.280
<v Speaker 12>I think mister.

0:42:19.080 --> 0:42:22.280
<v Speaker 17>Bonds hit it right on the head. It was a silly,

0:42:22.480 --> 0:42:25.040
<v Speaker 17>silly thing to do in an election year. It could

0:42:25.040 --> 0:42:27.399
<v Speaker 17>have been easily avoided. And it's not like he has

0:42:27.440 --> 0:42:29.640
<v Speaker 17>a shortage of staff. He could have shed any number.

0:42:29.680 --> 0:42:31.799
<v Speaker 17>He's got dozens and dozens of them that could have

0:42:31.800 --> 0:42:34.200
<v Speaker 17>gone on a commercial flight, met them there on site,

0:42:34.440 --> 0:42:37.040
<v Speaker 17>used the advances and cut it back to one plane

0:42:37.080 --> 0:42:39.799
<v Speaker 17>and Bob's your uncle. You can probably make the case

0:42:39.840 --> 0:42:42.160
<v Speaker 17>and make the argument, but it doesn't help a single

0:42:42.200 --> 0:42:44.719
<v Speaker 17>person that had their cast ale on this week. It

0:42:44.760 --> 0:42:47.080
<v Speaker 17>doesn't help a single person who had their homebreaken into,

0:42:47.440 --> 0:42:50.240
<v Speaker 17>It doesn't address youth crime, and it just makes queenless

0:42:50.239 --> 0:42:53.960
<v Speaker 17>Anne Labor once again look foolish and uncaring about what

0:42:54.000 --> 0:42:55.960
<v Speaker 17>the cost of living is for every single Queensland.

0:42:56.840 --> 0:42:59.040
<v Speaker 3>I think that's the problem, kayl We ain't a quest

0:42:59.080 --> 0:43:04.320
<v Speaker 3>of living. Christ families are struggling to just literally provide food, clothing,

0:43:04.800 --> 0:43:09.439
<v Speaker 3>basic amenities for their children, parents, for their families, even

0:43:09.800 --> 0:43:13.440
<v Speaker 3>at the cost of going to school, uniforms.

0:43:12.920 --> 0:43:13.719
<v Speaker 2>Textbooks, etc.

0:43:14.480 --> 0:43:18.000
<v Speaker 3>And yet you see these politicians taking private jets when

0:43:18.080 --> 0:43:22.279
<v Speaker 3>there are commercial flights available, as you say, and.

0:43:22.440 --> 0:43:24.640
<v Speaker 2>You know, the issue is they forget what it's like.

0:43:24.760 --> 0:43:28.600
<v Speaker 3>And anyone who has caught an interstate flight lately knows.

0:43:28.400 --> 0:43:31.200
<v Speaker 2>That half the time it's canceled. It doesn't matter which

0:43:31.200 --> 0:43:31.879
<v Speaker 2>our line it is.

0:43:31.800 --> 0:43:33.960
<v Speaker 3>Whether it's virgin orquite as they count half the time

0:43:34.960 --> 0:43:36.240
<v Speaker 3>they counceled half the time.

0:43:36.600 --> 0:43:39.040
<v Speaker 2>And they're so expensive.

0:43:38.600 --> 0:43:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, they are. I mean I flew down to

0:43:41.560 --> 0:43:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Melbourne and back on the weekend and the price is

0:43:44.520 --> 0:43:46.440
<v Speaker 1>probably twice what it was two years ago. And I

0:43:46.480 --> 0:43:48.040
<v Speaker 1>know that was coming out of COVID and they really

0:43:48.080 --> 0:43:51.319
<v Speaker 1>wanted people to take flights. But the prices aren't going down.

0:43:51.440 --> 0:43:54.120
<v Speaker 1>But where's the accountability here? I mean, you know, our

0:43:54.160 --> 0:43:57.000
<v Speaker 1>friend Bronwin Bishop, who was on this panel earlier, of

0:43:57.040 --> 0:44:00.000
<v Speaker 1>course many years ago, got caught using a private helicops.

0:44:00.320 --> 0:44:03.320
<v Speaker 1>The cost of that helicopter was five grand, which she

0:44:03.520 --> 0:44:07.160
<v Speaker 1>repaid and she paid for doing that with her speakership.

0:44:07.200 --> 0:44:11.040
<v Speaker 1>She lost her speakership ultimately didn't matter. The multiple times

0:44:11.120 --> 0:44:14.960
<v Speaker 1>that we have seen since then politicians do things like this,

0:44:15.160 --> 0:44:19.080
<v Speaker 1>people like Monique Ryan flying from Melbourne to Canberra business

0:44:19.080 --> 0:44:22.000
<v Speaker 1>class every week, which is less than an hour's flight.

0:44:22.239 --> 0:44:24.400
<v Speaker 1>You don't need to do that. Have we seen a

0:44:24.440 --> 0:44:27.839
<v Speaker 1>single one of these people like Miles pay with their

0:44:27.960 --> 0:44:29.600
<v Speaker 1>job or or any consequences.

0:44:29.800 --> 0:44:32.680
<v Speaker 3>She is actually worse than that, because we've seen a

0:44:32.800 --> 0:44:38.400
<v Speaker 3>grandmother in Perth bashed because of the incompetence of Andrew

0:44:38.440 --> 0:44:42.319
<v Speaker 3>Giles and the government. A reason that should actually have

0:44:42.480 --> 0:44:46.040
<v Speaker 3>seen someone be stacked. Sack should actually have led to

0:44:46.040 --> 0:44:48.919
<v Speaker 3>minister all accountability, but you just don't get it under

0:44:48.920 --> 0:44:51.319
<v Speaker 3>this government because the Prime Minister thinks it's a sign

0:44:51.400 --> 0:44:54.719
<v Speaker 3>of strength not to sack ministers rather than holding them

0:44:54.800 --> 0:44:58.200
<v Speaker 3>accountable and up to a high standard. Well, Keith and Caleb,

0:44:58.239 --> 0:45:00.440
<v Speaker 3>thank you both very much for joining me to Night.

0:45:00.760 --> 0:45:01.480
<v Speaker 2>After the Break.

0:45:01.560 --> 0:45:05.680
<v Speaker 3>A revolutionary blood test that can deduct heart attacks and

0:45:05.760 --> 0:45:09.200
<v Speaker 3>strokes and patients has been developed right here in Australia.

0:45:09.480 --> 0:45:18.319
<v Speaker 3>I'll be joined by the lead researcher live next. Welcome back,

0:45:18.320 --> 0:45:22.120
<v Speaker 3>Well Melbourne scientists have developed a revolutionary new blood test

0:45:22.280 --> 0:45:25.600
<v Speaker 3>set to save lives by predicting the risk of heart

0:45:25.600 --> 0:45:28.919
<v Speaker 3>attacks and strokes. And I'm pleased to say the head

0:45:28.920 --> 0:45:33.000
<v Speaker 3>of metabolomics Laboratory at the Baker Institute, Professor Peter Mikkel,

0:45:33.200 --> 0:45:37.600
<v Speaker 3>joins me. Now, Professor, this sounds remarkable. How does it

0:45:37.640 --> 0:45:38.640
<v Speaker 3>actually work.

0:45:41.040 --> 0:45:45.160
<v Speaker 14>So the technology that we're using Sharhi is a process

0:45:45.200 --> 0:45:48.359
<v Speaker 14>called lipidomics, and so what that allows us to do

0:45:48.480 --> 0:45:50.680
<v Speaker 14>is take the same blood sample that you would normally

0:45:50.719 --> 0:45:53.399
<v Speaker 14>give for a cholesterol test or that type of thing,

0:45:53.920 --> 0:45:57.320
<v Speaker 14>but we measure about two hundred and fifty different lipid

0:45:57.320 --> 0:46:01.839
<v Speaker 14>species within that single blood sample, and then we use

0:46:01.880 --> 0:46:05.319
<v Speaker 14>an AI based algorithm to combine all the information from

0:46:05.320 --> 0:46:08.319
<v Speaker 14>those different lipid species into a risk score that's then

0:46:08.440 --> 0:46:10.960
<v Speaker 14>better able to predict cardiovascular risk.

0:46:11.719 --> 0:46:14.480
<v Speaker 3>And is it accurate? Have you been able to determine

0:46:14.760 --> 0:46:18.719
<v Speaker 3>whether it can in fact accurately predict whether someone is

0:46:18.920 --> 0:46:21.160
<v Speaker 3>likely to have a heart attack or a stroke.

0:46:23.320 --> 0:46:23.560
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

0:46:23.719 --> 0:46:26.560
<v Speaker 14>Look, so the way that this will work is we

0:46:26.640 --> 0:46:29.920
<v Speaker 14>won't be replacing the existing tests. So there's already a

0:46:29.960 --> 0:46:33.840
<v Speaker 14>heart health check and the part Foundation has just released

0:46:33.840 --> 0:46:37.960
<v Speaker 14>an no CVD risk score, will be utilizing that. But

0:46:38.080 --> 0:46:40.920
<v Speaker 14>what we'll be doing is the current test that classify

0:46:41.000 --> 0:46:45.359
<v Speaker 14>people is either low, intermediate or high risk. And those

0:46:45.400 --> 0:46:48.600
<v Speaker 14>people that are intermediate, so neither low nor high, that

0:46:48.680 --> 0:46:52.319
<v Speaker 14>presents a clinical challenge. And so what we'll be doing

0:46:52.440 --> 0:46:56.440
<v Speaker 14>is retesting those intermediate risk people and then reclassifying a

0:46:56.480 --> 0:47:00.640
<v Speaker 14>portion of those which contain most of the individuals who

0:47:00.719 --> 0:47:03.600
<v Speaker 14>go on to have a cardiovascular event into that high

0:47:03.719 --> 0:47:05.680
<v Speaker 14>risk group. And so of course then they can be

0:47:05.719 --> 0:47:06.720
<v Speaker 14>effectively treated.

0:47:07.719 --> 0:47:10.000
<v Speaker 3>And so how will this work? How soon will it

0:47:10.040 --> 0:47:13.279
<v Speaker 3>be available to people? Is it something that anyone could

0:47:13.320 --> 0:47:16.200
<v Speaker 3>go to their doctor, their GP to get this blood test?

0:47:18.360 --> 0:47:20.920
<v Speaker 14>Now, So, look, what we've done is we've developed the test,

0:47:21.080 --> 0:47:25.120
<v Speaker 14>We've validated the test in large population cohorts. But we

0:47:25.200 --> 0:47:27.719
<v Speaker 14>now need to do a clinical trial with this test.

0:47:27.880 --> 0:47:29.880
<v Speaker 14>So this is going to take about two years, and

0:47:29.920 --> 0:47:34.160
<v Speaker 14>we'll be starting this next year. So once that's done,

0:47:34.680 --> 0:47:37.759
<v Speaker 14>at the same time, we'll be developing the clinical platform

0:47:37.880 --> 0:47:39.960
<v Speaker 14>so that we'll be ready to roll this out to

0:47:40.000 --> 0:47:44.560
<v Speaker 14>the public probably about the end of twenty six And so.

0:47:44.640 --> 0:47:47.719
<v Speaker 3>If someone is in that intermediary range and they are

0:47:47.920 --> 0:47:50.640
<v Speaker 3>told that they could actually be at high risk of

0:47:51.680 --> 0:47:54.600
<v Speaker 3>heart attack, what steps would they then need to take

0:47:54.640 --> 0:47:56.520
<v Speaker 3>to lower that risk? And is it something they then

0:47:56.560 --> 0:47:58.560
<v Speaker 3>have a repeat test, say once a year.

0:48:01.040 --> 0:48:04.160
<v Speaker 14>So typically if you're classified as high risk, then you'd

0:48:04.239 --> 0:48:07.880
<v Speaker 14>go on a statin therapy. So to lower your cholesterol,

0:48:08.560 --> 0:48:12.080
<v Speaker 14>you'd go on a blood pressure medication if your blood

0:48:12.080 --> 0:48:17.680
<v Speaker 14>pressure was high. They're the two mainline treatments for cardiovascular risk,

0:48:17.719 --> 0:48:21.360
<v Speaker 14>but of course there are other types of blood cholesterol

0:48:21.400 --> 0:48:26.360
<v Speaker 14>lowering medication that are used in some instances. The idea

0:48:26.520 --> 0:48:29.480
<v Speaker 14>is that yes, you would have a repeat test and

0:48:29.520 --> 0:48:31.680
<v Speaker 14>that might be yearly or every second year.

0:48:32.280 --> 0:48:34.880
<v Speaker 3>Look it sounds amazing, and look good luck with the

0:48:34.880 --> 0:48:37.120
<v Speaker 3>clinical trial. And thank you very much for explaining it

0:48:37.160 --> 0:48:40.000
<v Speaker 3>all to us tonight. Thank you, professor, and it's great

0:48:40.040 --> 0:48:41.680
<v Speaker 3>to be back. Great to see you all this evening.

0:48:41.719 --> 0:48:44.360
<v Speaker 3>I'll see you tomorrow at eight o'clock. And right now,

0:48:44.400 --> 0:48:51.120
<v Speaker 3>here's Paul Murray.
