Speaker 1: Live on Sky News. This is Sharry.
Speaker 2: Good evening. It's great to be back with you tonight.
Speaker 3: A big thank you to Caleb, Denika and Steve Price.
Speaker 2: For filling in over the past few weeks.
Speaker 3: Well, let's start tonight with a massive deception on voters
Speaker 3: over the pivotal issue of President Joe Biden's mental acuity.
Speaker 3: White House advisors, journalists, and members of Congress are now
Speaker 3: in the spotlight for the protection racket over Biden's cognitive decline.
Speaker 3: The detail that's now emerging about Biden's incompetence during his
Speaker 3: time as leader of the free world is utterly breathtaking.
Speaker 3: It's a matter of utmost public interest. What could be
Speaker 3: more important than the ability to think and function of
Speaker 3: the man who has the power to launch nuclear weapons. Yet,
Speaker 3: as more evidence emerges about his serious decline, the protection
Speaker 3: racket around him is being exposed. In October twenty twenty one,
Speaker 3: Biden was reportedly incoherent and rambling during an address to
Speaker 3: Congressional Democrats. In fact, he was so inarticulate that he
Speaker 3: never met with the House Democratic Caucus again, according to
Speaker 3: The Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 2: That was less than a year into his presidency.
Speaker 3: Then in twenty twenty two, Biden lost his train of
Speaker 3: thought and began mumbling during a call about Ukraine with
Speaker 3: G seven world leaders.
Speaker 2: The Wall Street Journal reports that.
Speaker 3: He nearly hung up without giving Emmanuel Macron his say.
Speaker 3: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had to step in.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: These world leaders all knew there was a problem with Biden,
Speaker 3: yet apparently kept its secret that the leader of the
Speaker 3: Free world.
Speaker 2: Was struggling now.
Speaker 3: This report also reveals that some cabinet secretaries only saw
Speaker 3: the president on a monthly basis. Some officials describe Biden
Speaker 3: as unusually removed from the rest of administration, or, as
Speaker 3: former administration official put it, not engaged in the hands
Speaker 3: on business of governing. Well, what seems to be emerging
Speaker 3: is that it was Biden's team running the United States,
Speaker 3: not necessarily the president that voters elected, and Massachusetts Congressman
Speaker 3: as Seth Moulton said that Biden didn't recognize him at
Speaker 3: an event in June, despite their long friendship. Even Special
Speaker 3: Counsel Robert Hurr back in February described Biden as an
Speaker 3: elderly man with a poor memory. And there are so
Speaker 3: many more examples, all emerging in outlets like the New
Speaker 3: York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post.
Speaker 2: But where were.
Speaker 3: These investigative journalists a week ago, a month ago, or
Speaker 3: over the past three years, especially when it was obvious
Speaker 3: to any casual observer that Biden was in a state
Speaker 3: of sad decline thanks to clips like these that went viral.
Speaker 4: I don't want to I don't want to well, I mean,
Speaker 4: choose my worries. I was just thinking, Uh, anyway, I
Speaker 4: just look, I mean Putin's Club Tarcher.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was in February February January, after I reading
Speaker 5: elected for late early February.
Speaker 3: Yet the White House claimed that reports of his mental
Speaker 3: degradation were all fake.
Speaker 6: News, instead of talking about the president's performance in office,
Speaker 6: and what I mean by that is his legislative wins,
Speaker 6: what he's been able to do for the American people
Speaker 6: across the country. We're seeing these deep figs, these manipulated videos.
Speaker 3: And they got away with this blatant lie thanks to
Speaker 3: their allies in the media, who pretended there was no
Speaker 3: issue at all. They said Biden was sharp as attack
Speaker 3: and would run again.
Speaker 5: President Biden, who I've been around numerous times just in
Speaker 5: this last year, is sharp.
Speaker 7: He's focused, He's bright.
Speaker 1: He is sharp, intensely probing and detail oriented and focused.
Speaker 8: This is a man who is sharp, who is on
Speaker 8: top of his game, who knows what's going on.
Speaker 7: He's smart, he's on his game.
Speaker 3: For years, the political and media elite lied to the
Speaker 3: public about a matter of no less importance than the
Speaker 3: president's cognitive ability. This is an incredibly grave offense. And
Speaker 3: even as Biden was about to step down, his confidants
Speaker 3: were insisting he'd stay in the race.
Speaker 7: This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically is the best Biden.
Speaker 9: Ever, absolutely the presidents in this race. You've heard him
Speaker 9: say that time and time again, and I think we
Speaker 9: saw on display last night exactly why. Because Donald Trump
Speaker 9: is not going to offer anything new to the American
Speaker 9: people now.
Speaker 10: Want to be crystal clear, He's made a decision, and
Speaker 10: that decision is to accept the nomination and run for
Speaker 10: reelection win reelection. And I think that there are those
Speaker 10: out there that need to hear it again that he
Speaker 10: made a decision. He's going to be the candidate, He's
Speaker 10: going to be the next president.
Speaker 3: It's shocking how comfortably those in power mislead voters and
Speaker 3: when they're caught out as they have been this week,
Speaker 3: how they just explain it away. This all further erodes
Speaker 3: voter trust in the political establishment. Assistance that Biden was
Speaker 3: fine and the clips of him rambling were all fake news. Well,
Speaker 3: this is especially hard to swallow when even Jodge Clooney
Speaker 3: said Biden is not the man he knew a decade ago.
Speaker 3: Yet Clooney too was happy to mislead voters just a
Speaker 3: month ago, fronting a Hollywood fundraiser that raised millions Or
Speaker 3: shouldn't he feel guilty about taking millions of dollars from
Speaker 3: donors for a man he knew wasn't up to the job.
Speaker 3: And the question that many commentators are now asking is
Speaker 3: if Joe Biden is not fit to run again, well,
Speaker 3: what makes him fit to remain US president? According to
Speaker 3: senior advisor for Trump and Bush administrations, Christian Witten, well,
Speaker 3: he's not fit to remain in office now, and that
Speaker 3: full interview will play you. That clip is coming up
Speaker 3: in a moment, and the mystery surrounding Joe Biden only
Speaker 3: grows with the only sign of the president since his
Speaker 3: bombshell move to quit the presidential race just.
Speaker 2: A phone call.
Speaker 3: This is highly unusual behavior that phone call going into
Speaker 3: a Kamala Harris campaign event today. Then there's this suggestion
Speaker 3: from Biden himself and his aides, and even repeated by
Speaker 3: our own Prime Minister Anthony Albernizi, that Biden acted selflessly
Speaker 3: in the national interest in stepping aside from the race.
Speaker 2: Well, his move is far from selfless.
Speaker 3: Biden was hanging in saying that only God Almighty could
Speaker 3: stop him from running. Selfless would have been Biden announcing
Speaker 3: he wasn't going to run a year ago, not after
Speaker 3: the primaries were done and dusted, not after he'd deprived
Speaker 3: voters of a democratic process where potential nominees would face
Speaker 3: thorough debates and interrogation. In fact, Biden only stepped back
Speaker 3: when forced to when the most powerful figures in the
Speaker 3: Democratic Party, Obama and Nancy Pelosi, intervened, threatening to remove
Speaker 3: him the hard way, whatever that means if he didn't
Speaker 3: go well. This says a lot about who really calls
Speaker 3: the shots in the United States, and as we've seen,
Speaker 3: it ain't the president.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: The failure of the Secret Service was today laid bare
Speaker 3: in a grilling by the House Committee, but only more
Speaker 3: questions now arise around the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
Speaker 3: We'll get to that later in the show. Plus, Kamala
Speaker 3: Harris shows up the broad support from her party, inching
Speaker 3: closer to becoming the official nominee, but many are asking
Speaker 3: whether she is up to the job. And Joe Biden
Speaker 3: snub to Benjamin Netanyahoo canceling their meeting after he'd already
Speaker 3: arrived in Washington.
Speaker 2: You have to ask with friends like these.
Speaker 3: Also on the show tonight, more painful polling numbers for
Speaker 3: Albinizi as Dutton Gain's popularity. Will break down the latest
Speaker 3: data later, and the world's first blood test that predicts
Speaker 3: the risk of heart attacks.
Speaker 2: And even strokes in patients.
Speaker 3: The lead Australian researcher behind this will join me later
Speaker 3: in the show.
Speaker 2: This is amazing.
Speaker 3: But now let's stick with the US politics and bring
Speaker 3: in tonight's panel former Speaker of the House Bronwyn Bishop
Speaker 3: and llenp Senator James McGrath. Welcome to you both. Great
Speaker 3: to see you, Ron Wind. Now let's look at what
Speaker 3: happened today. Joe Biden phoned into Kamala Harris's campaign event.
Speaker 3: This is the first time we heard from Joe Biden
Speaker 3: the voters haven't seen him.
Speaker 2: This is the United States president. He's said in a.
Speaker 3: Statement posted to his Twitter account that he wasn't running
Speaker 3: for the presidency yet, no event at all, even though
Speaker 3: the White House doctor says he is recovering well from COVID.
Speaker 2: Don't you think this is quite unus usual? Brunwin?
Speaker 3: That a phone call and he hasn't actually addressed the public,
Speaker 3: the voters, the people yet.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it is distinctly odd.
Speaker 12: However, he's about as relevant as yesterday's wrapping on the
Speaker 12: fish and chips. He's now past history. It's a new
Speaker 12: game in town. It's called Kamala kamala, if you like.
Speaker 12: But the problem is that there seems to be a
Speaker 12: reluctance to let go of the frailty of Biden.
Speaker 11: He won't be seen again. He won't be there to.
Speaker 12: Be in the way of her shining on the platform
Speaker 12: as he sets out as she, pardon me, sets out
Speaker 12: to be.
Speaker 11: The winning candidate.
Speaker 12: And so there has to be a whole new strategy,
Speaker 12: and it'll be a question of tying her to him
Speaker 12: as part of the conspiracy to cover.
Speaker 11: Up what has gone on. But it's going to be
Speaker 11: very personal.
Speaker 12: She's indicated already she's going to personally attack Donald Trump
Speaker 12: by saying I was a prospers, I know him. He's
Speaker 12: been convicted, so Trump has to be personal too, but
Speaker 12: it has to be tying it to policy. No compassion
Speaker 12: for women who can't put a food on the table
Speaker 12: of their family, or no compassion for the women who
Speaker 12: are attacked by the illegals who come across the border,
Speaker 12: tie her to a failure with that failure to protect
Speaker 12: the border, because.
Speaker 11: It's the one thing that she was given the job
Speaker 11: to do. So it's a whole new ball game.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's interesting, James, because the reason that was
Speaker 3: supposedly presented to Joe Biden is that the polling shows.
Speaker 2: That he can't beat Trump.
Speaker 3: Yet Kamala Harris is even more unpopular with voters.
Speaker 2: So the question is.
Speaker 3: Whether she would have a better chance of beating Trump,
Speaker 3: or whether there might be there might have been another
Speaker 3: Democratic candidate who the party could have found, who would
Speaker 3: offer voters a second option if they don't want to
Speaker 3: support Donald Trump, but that process seems to have gone
Speaker 3: past them.
Speaker 2: Now voters have been deprived that option.
Speaker 13: The Democratic Party is not living up to its name,
Speaker 13: is it. We've had twelve months of hide and seek
Speaker 13: where people are trying to find out who is who
Speaker 13: is the real President Biden, Yet he's been hidden from people,
Speaker 13: are hidden throughout the primaries, So we have an engineered process.
Speaker 13: And now it looks like the faceless men and the
Speaker 13: faceless women of the Democratic Party are effectively imposing the
Speaker 13: vice president on the Democrat Party as their preferred candidate.
Speaker 13: We should be concerned about this, and I don't necessarily
Speaker 13: want to disagree with Bronwyn because it won't end well
Speaker 13: for me. But he is still going to be president
Speaker 13: for the next six months. And we've got a apricious rusher.
Speaker 13: We have communists China eyeing off Taiwan, and they're all
Speaker 13: looking at this weakened US president. This is very, very
Speaker 13: dangerous for a settled world order when we've got chaos
Speaker 13: in America.
Speaker 3: It's a very good point because, as I just mentioned
Speaker 3: in my opening remarks, I mean the stories that are
Speaker 3: coming out now, the detail in the New York Times,
Speaker 3: in the Wall Street Journal about just how very senior
Speaker 3: advisors at the White House, close to the President, even
Speaker 3: senior Congress members knew about his incoherence, his a competence,
Speaker 3: how he'd lose his trail of thought in meetings. This
Speaker 3: is now all in the public domain. These leaks are happening.
Speaker 3: All our enemies have never been more aggressive, not in decades.
Speaker 3: This is the most volatile global situation we're seeing with
Speaker 3: this axis of evil farming with China, Iran, North Korea
Speaker 3: and Russia and bronwin.
Speaker 2: They're seeing that the president of the United.
Speaker 3: States, if these reports are to believed, and why wouldn't
Speaker 3: they be, but like believe they're incredible media outlets that
Speaker 3: effectively he's a puppet.
Speaker 12: Figure, absolutely, and has been for the last two years.
Speaker 12: I think we've seen Obama have his third term, and
Speaker 12: if he had his brothers, I think he'd like to
Speaker 12: put his wife in to have a fourth term.
Speaker 11: But that's not going to happen.
Speaker 12: It's going to be the current vice president. But everything
Speaker 12: you've said about the drastic rammifications of the world for
Speaker 12: the next six months have been true for the last
Speaker 12: last eighteen months. But the reality of it is is
Speaker 12: if there's to be a change, then Trump has to win.
Speaker 12: And Trump is to win, he has to realize he's
Speaker 12: no longer fighting Biden, He's fighting Camela.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: The great mystery is why Donald Trump was nearly assassinated
Speaker 3: just a week ago. Well, the Secret Service head Carrie Cheatle,
Speaker 3: faced intense questions today over the shocking failure of security
Speaker 3: to protect the former president. Just two minutes before the
Speaker 3: first shot was fired, locals tried to alert police.
Speaker 2: To the shooter's location.
Speaker 3: It was such an a non as failure that the former
Speaker 3: president came within a whiskers breath of being assassinated.
Speaker 14: Have a look why did the Secret Service not? Can
Speaker 14: you answer why the Secret Service didn't place a single
Speaker 14: agent on the roof.
Speaker 15: We are still looking into the advanced process and the decisions.
Speaker 2: That doesn't look like suspicious behavior.
Speaker 7: That looks like threatening behavior to me.
Speaker 10: And the rally wasn't pause at that point either, correct.
Speaker 15: I can tell you, as I stated earlier, sir, that
Speaker 15: the moment that the shift surrounding the president were aware
Speaker 15: of an actual.
Speaker 10: Threat, that's a threat right there.
Speaker 15: I have no idea how my statement got out.
Speaker 3: Well, that's have you provided all audio and video recordings
Speaker 3: in your possession to this committee as we asked on
Speaker 3: July fifteenth?
Speaker 12: Yes? Or no?
Speaker 2: I would have to get back to you.
Speaker 11: That is a no.
Speaker 15: You're full of today, you're just being completely dishonest.
Speaker 3: It was intense and hostile questions. But the truth is
Speaker 3: that there was over half an hour period in which
Speaker 3: people on the ground raised the fact that there was
Speaker 3: someone suspicious, a potential shooter on the roof. They raised
Speaker 3: it with law enforcement. Law enforcement raised it with the
Speaker 3: Secret Service, and James what we saw today were frankly unacceptable,
Speaker 3: inadequate answers.
Speaker 13: Totally unacceptable answers. And if you can't protect the former
Speaker 13: president and the presumptive Republican Party candidate, how can you
Speaker 13: help protect the free world? And this is a serious
Speaker 13: question to be posed to the American Security Services because
Speaker 13: it goes to the funding of the security detail around
Speaker 13: President Trump, and it also goes to actually what happened
Speaker 13: on the day. And it's one of those cases where
Speaker 13: they need to have a very thorough inquiry, but you
Speaker 13: need to hasten slowly to make sure that it is thorough.
Speaker 13: But it has to be done in a timely manner.
Speaker 13: And as much as I love my American cousins and
Speaker 13: the questions that are asking of the director of the
Speaker 13: Secret Service, we've got to get to the truth of
Speaker 13: it and find out exactly what happened and ensure it
Speaker 13: does not happen again, and someone needs to be sacked
Speaker 13: or resign over those failings.
Speaker 3: And it doesn't matter if people like Donald Trump or
Speaker 3: not very divisive politician, but it's irrelevant. The bottom line, Branwyn,
Speaker 3: is that you can't have a secret service that is
Speaker 3: incapable of protecting a former president and most likely the
Speaker 3: future president. I don't understand why heads haven't rolled already
Speaker 3: over this.
Speaker 12: Well, the fact that no heads have rolled means that
Speaker 12: you start to feed conspiracy theories, I e. Why isn't
Speaker 12: she sacked so she knows something which you speak out
Speaker 12: if she were, Why did she come to that? I mean,
Speaker 12: James and I have both seen witnesses come before Senate
Speaker 12: and House committees where the witness comes deliberately giving no
Speaker 12: information and you just have to keep probing and you
Speaker 12: get them back and back came back, and that that
Speaker 12: has to happen with her because they obviously know something
Speaker 12: that they're not sharing.
Speaker 3: Well, they need to suppear subpoena documents, They need to
Speaker 3: seppit the entire computer systems, what our phone devices, They
Speaker 3: need to get.
Speaker 2: To the bottom.
Speaker 12: Absolutely, that's a long process, but it does beg the
Speaker 12: question people start saying, was there an inside job? Was
Speaker 12: there something malicious going on? Until you see the truth
Speaker 12: and can confront that sort of conspiracy, that's the sort
Speaker 12: of thing that starts to prevail.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I mean the footage that has been
Speaker 3: shared widely on social media of people filming the shooter
Speaker 3: on the roof saying what's he doing?
Speaker 2: And to know that the Secret Service were in that
Speaker 2: building and no one took any action.
Speaker 11: The policeman came up and actually saw him.
Speaker 3: Why do I which she needs to answer those questions
Speaker 3: about why there were those failings, And you're right, if
Speaker 3: those questions aren't answered, then the conspiracy theories will continue
Speaker 3: to grow. Now, just before we go, let's look at
Speaker 3: more low local topic a media topic.
Speaker 2: Channel nine has spent over three hundred million.
Speaker 3: Dollars on the rights to the Olympics, but its own
Speaker 3: coverage could be in jeopardy because, as the Cidney Morning Herald,
Speaker 3: owned by nine, reports, staff have threatened to go on
Speaker 3: strike if paid demands aren't met.
Speaker 2: James.
Speaker 3: Just today, the nine chief executive, Mike Sneezeby, was pictured
Speaker 3: carrying the Olympic torch in Paris. Yet he might may
Speaker 3: end up with only a handful of reporters to actually
Speaker 3: rely on for the coverage when they've spent the network
Speaker 3: over three hundred million dollars.
Speaker 13: Well, I feel sorry for the shareholders of Channel nine
Speaker 13: who have allowed the management to spend hundreds of millions
Speaker 13: of dollars to get the Olympics coverage, and yet they've
Speaker 13: got a managing director who seems tone deaf at best.
Speaker 13: Are all incompetent that he's prepared to run along a
Speaker 13: French village with the Olympic flame, Yet everybody's about to
Speaker 13: go on strike. I don't know what's seen in the
Speaker 13: water cooler on the executive boardroom at Channel nine or
Speaker 13: the nine network, but they need to do something pretty
Speaker 13: quickly and get that ship back in order.
Speaker 3: James McGrath from and Bishop thank you both very much
Speaker 3: for joining me this evening.
Speaker 2: Now after the break, is Joe Biden in hiding.
Speaker 3: Questions mount over a bizarre phone call from the president
Speaker 3: as the Democratic favorite interest closer to becoming the nominee.
Speaker 3: A former advisor in the Trump and Bush.
Speaker 2: Administrations will join me next.
Speaker 3: Plus, Labor downplays early election rumors again as new polls
Speaker 3: reveal another blow to.
Speaker 2: Albanis welcome back.
Speaker 3: Well, as we've been discussing, it seems that Joe Biden
Speaker 3: has been in virtual hiding since he announced on his
Speaker 3: Twitter account that he wouldn't be running in.
Speaker 2: The presidential race.
Speaker 3: This has sparked questions about his willingness to drop out,
Speaker 3: and there's now a spotlight on Biden's health and what
Speaker 3: the Democrats and his close allies and none more than
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris did to cover up and mask his decline. Well,
Speaker 3: I spoke to former senior advisor in the Bush and
Speaker 3: Trump administrations, Christian Witten.
Speaker 2: About all of this a bit earlier. Christin, thank you
Speaker 2: so much for your time.
Speaker 3: We're seeing more details in newspaper reports of Biden's mental
Speaker 3: incoherence at meetings as far back as twenty twenty one,
Speaker 3: less than a year after he was elected president. Yet
Speaker 3: the White House claimed this was fake news and TV
Speaker 3: commentators covered up for him.
Speaker 2: Do you think voters were seriously misled?
Speaker 8: I think they were, although I think they've come to
Speaker 8: expect this from a media that is very biased. Basically,
Speaker 8: this reelection, which has been cast as a rematch for
Speaker 8: some time, that a lot of the media, the left
Speaker 8: wing media in the United States, and all of the
Speaker 8: presidents enablers basically thought they had to do whatever was
Speaker 8: necessary to defeat Donald trump potential resurgence, and if that
Speaker 8: included misleading the people and also forestalling a competitive democratic
Speaker 8: nomination process that would have allowed voters to choose whether
Speaker 8: or not Biden Democratic voters to choose whether or not
Speaker 8: Biden was senile or competent, that was all pushed aside.
Speaker 7: I think voters are angry.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's such a good point.
Speaker 3: There's no returning to the primaries, and Kamala Harris is
Speaker 3: now all but the nominee. It means there's no democratic process,
Speaker 3: no chance for delegates to have their say, and there's
Speaker 3: no opportunity for other potential nominees to come forward.
Speaker 7: It is. It's a real railroading.
Speaker 8: You'll notice that one voice that has held back so
Speaker 8: far as former President Obama.
Speaker 7: Everyone else sort of among major figures.
Speaker 8: Most other people have endorsed Harris, and I think Obama
Speaker 8: is just holding back in case there is any resistance
Speaker 8: to this coronation that's going to take place in under
Speaker 8: a month at the Democrat convention in Chicago. So you know,
Speaker 8: really the Democrats ought to have had a conversation and
Speaker 8: a debate and a vote over the trajectory of their party,
Speaker 8: whether they're going to come back to the center, which
Speaker 8: is what labor just did in the United Kingdom and won,
Speaker 8: where they're going to stay where they are, which is
Speaker 8: economics that leads to out of control inflation, humiliation for
Speaker 8: the United States abroad, and a very woke, culturally activist
Speaker 8: domestic policy, which is what they've ended up with without
Speaker 8: even having a vote Christian.
Speaker 3: Why would the likes of Obama, Pelosi and others wait
Speaker 3: so long to turn on Biden. Wouldn't they have been
Speaker 3: better off giving the Democratic Party proper time to work
Speaker 3: out a successor.
Speaker 7: I think they're terrified of what might happen.
Speaker 8: You know, don't mean to be too quaint, but if
Speaker 8: you look at the end of the Soviet Union, when
Speaker 8: they went from what Brezhnev to Gramikos tou Chernenko, people
Speaker 8: who were clearly deep into their dotage, and it was
Speaker 8: this fear of what a reformer, of what a new
Speaker 8: fresh face might bring. Also means a loss of power
Speaker 8: for them, a loss of ability to put their people
Speaker 8: into powerful jobs or get lucrative campaign jobs that pay
Speaker 8: that can pay for people. So given the choice of
Speaker 8: opening up a can of worms and a future that's uncertained,
Speaker 8: or going with someone they know and they frankly could control,
Speaker 8: they tried to go the method of control.
Speaker 3: Joe Biden today phoned into Kamala Harris's campaign event, yet
Speaker 3: he hasn't appeared in person. There was just a statement
Speaker 3: released on his Twitter account. Do you find this behavior
Speaker 3: highly unusual for a president?
Speaker 8: Very unusual for a president. He's not a young man,
Speaker 8: and he does have COVID. On the other hand, his
Speaker 8: own physician put in writing today for his press secretary
Speaker 8: that he's recovering very well, that all of his symptoms
Speaker 8: have pretty much cleared up, Which raises the question.
Speaker 7: Why isn't he back in Washington?
Speaker 8: Prime Minister Beton Benjamin Nott and Yahoo of Israel is
Speaker 8: coming and the two men don't like each other, but
Speaker 8: nonetheless we are too important allies and he should be
Speaker 8: in Washington to receive him in addition to his campaign duties.
Speaker 8: So I think probably Biden is very disappointed and very
Speaker 8: irritated at what's happened. He probably views this as a
Speaker 8: betrayal by those who are closest to him and the party.
Speaker 3: We also saw the head of the Secret Service facing
Speaker 3: questioning today. Do you think she gave any adequate explanation
Speaker 3: over the major security failures that led to Trump almost
Speaker 3: being assassinated?
Speaker 8: No, there are still way too many questions. The answers
Speaker 8: that have been given are duplicitus or misleading.
Speaker 7: Saying that this was a sloped roof.
Speaker 8: One of the Republican congressmen who's seventy years old, got up.
Speaker 7: And was walking around the roof.
Speaker 8: It's a very mild slope, and he joked that he
Speaker 8: could be up there all day. She said that the
Speaker 8: structure was outside of the perimeter. That's absurd to anyone
Speaker 8: who's ever fired a rifle, whether you're a good shot
Speaker 8: or not. A huge breakdown, one of the most acrimonious
Speaker 8: hearings I've seen since the impeachment or the Iraq War
Speaker 8: on Capitol Hill, and it leads the question of what
Speaker 8: she's protecting, who she's covering up for, Whether there are
Speaker 8: messages between her and the Homeland Security Secretary who oversees
Speaker 8: her department that are, you know, say, don't give Trump
Speaker 8: adequate security. There's more than we're being allowed to see.
Speaker 8: I think the truth will come out, but it certainly
Speaker 8: hasn't come out so far.
Speaker 3: Christian just finally, if Democratic donors' political advisors and members
Speaker 3: of Congress came to the conclusion that Joe Biden wasn't
Speaker 3: fit to serve another term as president, what.
Speaker 2: Makes him fit to remain in the role now?
Speaker 8: Really nothing does unless he could say, well, he's perfectly
Speaker 8: fit now, he just didn't, you know, couldn't handle another
Speaker 8: four years of the presidency. But he's not really saying that.
Speaker 8: And as we all saw on the stage, all of us,
Speaker 8: all of us around the world, America's friends and America's adversaries,
Speaker 8: he's clearly not someone who's competent to handle a crisis
Speaker 8: right now.
Speaker 7: I think he thinks he has to stay president.
Speaker 8: He's going to pardon his son and his brother and
Speaker 8: the rest of his family, but he can't do that
Speaker 8: until after the election, so he's not going anywhere. But
Speaker 8: I think it's it's probably an unwise choice for the
Speaker 8: nation security.
Speaker 2: Kristin, thank you very much for your time.
Speaker 7: Yeah, thanks my pleasure anytime.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, come back to us politics a bit
Speaker 3: later on the show. But let's turn now to matters
Speaker 3: on the home front, and it has been a bruising
Speaker 3: month for Labor in the polls. News Poll showed the
Speaker 3: coalition up two points in primary vote support, and the
Speaker 3: latest Freshwater Strategy poll shows the coalition ahead of Albanesi's
Speaker 3: Labor government by fifty one to forty nine percent on
Speaker 3: a two.
Speaker 2: Party preferred basis.
Speaker 3: This is the first time Dutton is ahead of alban
Speaker 3: Ezi in this poll, and Freshwater Strategy director Leo Shanahan
Speaker 3: joins me.
Speaker 2: Now, Leo, thank you very much for your time.
Speaker 3: Well, just how significant is this result that Dutton's now
Speaker 3: ahead of alban Easy.
Speaker 16: Yeah, thanks Sherian, welcome back, glad you did this as
Speaker 16: much news. Look, it is significant. Look, it's a milestone.
Speaker 16: It's not a milestone of overwhelming significance, given it still
Speaker 16: within that kind of margin of error, but it is
Speaker 16: still a milestone and it's one that the government wouldn't
Speaker 16: want to be seeing. And I wouldn't be surprised if
Speaker 16: it's pretty soon replicated in a couple of the other
Speaker 16: major polls, including News Poll. Look, it does mean that
Speaker 16: on these numbers, and you should always say that swings
Speaker 16: are never consistent across seats. But if that was to
Speaker 16: be replicated in an election, the government would fall into
Speaker 16: minority status. Now, on those numbers, we would have the government,
Speaker 16: the Labor government full innked about seventy one seats and
Speaker 16: the coalition picking up about eight seats. So that would
Speaker 16: mean puts them in a very awkward position. They would
Speaker 16: have to get the support of the MARS and or
Speaker 16: many of the Independence or a CATA or a Central
Speaker 16: Alliance soment remaining government.
Speaker 3: Now, let's talk about the key issues that are causing
Speaker 3: Labor and albin Easy to lose support of the people.
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously the cost of living is the number
Speaker 3: one issue, but also you're seeing immigration and crime.
Speaker 16: Yeah, look at these issues. Let's just look at some
Speaker 16: of these key issues. And it's it's really significant because
Speaker 16: if you look at what what pulses do is not
Speaker 16: just look at who's ahead and you know why governments.
Speaker 16: You want to look at why governments fall behind, why
Speaker 16: old positions are resurgent, and it's the issues on which
Speaker 16: people place emphasis. Now, if you look at some of
Speaker 16: those key issues where labor is losing support, management of
Speaker 16: the economy, immigration and asylum, crime and social order, these
Speaker 16: have all risen in terms of importance in the gender
Speaker 16: of people's priorities, So that is significant to climb. But
Speaker 16: the key one there and the most significant is the
Speaker 16: cost and standard of living.
Speaker 3: Consistently supplies to anyone watching.
Speaker 16: This too, exactly consistently, the cost and standard of living
Speaker 16: is overwhelmingly the biggest priority, for the largest priority for Australians.
Speaker 16: If you look at you know our numbers have it
Speaker 16: by far and away seventy three percent. So it is
Speaker 16: cost and standard of living in terms of the most
Speaker 16: important issue and daylight second. Now, as you see in
Speaker 16: those graphs, the Coalition has opened up a twelve point
Speaker 16: lead over Albanese's Labor government in terms of cost and standards.
Speaker 3: Just to explain that a bit, so voters or Australians
Speaker 3: at the moment think that Dutton would better be able
Speaker 3: to handle the cost of living crisis.
Speaker 16: Than Albany's by a margin of twelve points. And not
Speaker 16: only that, it was Labor that had a lead of
Speaker 16: twelve points on the same issue back in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 16: So that is a twenty four point decrease in fall
Speaker 16: in Labour's ability to handle this issue.
Speaker 3: And it's fascinating between voters because back in the.
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty two election.
Speaker 3: Everyone will remember that Albertezi went to the polls and
Speaker 3: his main campaign platform was that life would be more affordable.
Speaker 3: It was the cost of living crisis at the time.
Speaker 3: It was everything from petrol prices to the single interest
Speaker 3: rate rise.
Speaker 2: That happened in the election campaign.
Speaker 3: But you know, you fast forward a couple of years
Speaker 3: and life is far more unaffordable. Everything from grocery prices, petrol,
Speaker 3: power bills, everything's gone up and people are just struggling
Speaker 3: even more. And they probably look at the Prime Minister
Speaker 3: and they say, well, you promised this was your campaign platform.
Speaker 3: You promised to fix this, but it's just worse. So
Speaker 3: in effect he decided to own that issue.
Speaker 2: He didn't have to.
Speaker 16: And it's the key to the trend. It's the key
Speaker 16: to the trend. The trend is brutal against the government
Speaker 16: at the moment in terms of support in terms of
Speaker 16: both primary TPP. The other poles are showing it. And
Speaker 16: the key is really the ability to handle this cost
Speaker 16: of living issue. Because you said, they chose to own it.
Speaker 16: The budget sought to rectify that. To be frank, it
Speaker 16: has not worked. And this is also why the alp
Speaker 16: government probably wants to go to another budget before the
Speaker 16: election to try and rectify that because the budget has
Speaker 16: fallen flat.
Speaker 3: I mean, the reports just don't stop coming in the
Speaker 3: media about where the Labor would head.
Speaker 2: To an early election.
Speaker 3: But as you just said, Leo, the government does probably
Speaker 3: want to go to another budget first, and the Prime
Speaker 3: Minister has said very clearly he wants to serve out
Speaker 3: the full term. He wishes it was a four year term,
Speaker 3: not a three year term. So I just can't see,
Speaker 3: and I've spoken to insiders as well, but I just
Speaker 3: can't see any situation where he does go to the
Speaker 3: polls later this year.
Speaker 16: Yeah, Look, the mechanics of it are increasingly difficult, I
Speaker 16: think to go to an early election. I thought there
Speaker 16: would be an early election, but I think the arithmetic
Speaker 16: is increasingly difficult. October is basically impossible. They're going to
Speaker 16: go to a September election. He has to call the
Speaker 16: election within the next couple of weeks. Do you really
Speaker 16: see an election being called in the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 3: But once a rate cut, he wants to say that
Speaker 3: he's got on top of this cost of living crisis,
Speaker 3: and the only chime and there's not going to be
Speaker 3: a rate cut this year unfortunately, so the only chance
Speaker 3: is potentially in the first quarter next year.
Speaker 2: Shanahan, great to have you with us. Thank you very much,
Speaker 2: Thanks very Now still to.
Speaker 3: Come Joe Biden's eleventh hour snug of Israel's Prime Minister
Speaker 3: Benjamin nettin Yahoo even after you're ready touchdown in Washington.
Speaker 2: Plus, you won't.
Speaker 3: Believe how much tax pay is bogged out for Stephen
Speaker 3: Miles private chats.
Speaker 2: All of that coming up for the break welcome back.
Speaker 12: Well.
Speaker 3: Donations are flooding in for Kamala Harris, as seems inevitable
Speaker 3: the Vice President will become the Democrats presidential nominee, and
Speaker 3: she's now said to have secured enough delicate support.
Speaker 2: But even with this.
Speaker 3: Dream start, there's a monumental task for her ahead, and
Speaker 3: the question still remains, is she up to the top
Speaker 3: job and is the world prepared for four more years
Speaker 3: of this?
Speaker 2: I am not here to replace your mother.
Speaker 9: You have that one mother and I'm the second mother.
Speaker 2: Mamala, Right, Mamala, you think.
Speaker 15: You just fell out of a coconut tree.
Speaker 2: You exist in the context.
Speaker 9: Of all in which you live and what came before
Speaker 9: We are going to the border.
Speaker 2: We've been to the border.
Speaker 9: So this whole, this whole, this whole thing about the border.
Speaker 2: We've been to the border.
Speaker 7: We've been to the border. You haven't been to the border,
Speaker 7: and I haven't been to Europe.
Speaker 3: Never forget that last interview, wasn't it shocking? We're joining
Speaker 3: me now to discuss SKY News host kayleb Bond and
Speaker 3: National's MP Keith Pitt. I mean, Keith, when you look
Speaker 3: at clips like this and then you've got Biden and
Speaker 3: then you've got Trump, well it makes you like in
Speaker 3: canbra look like professional politicians, like the world best?
Speaker 17: Of course we're the best of the world. Charry, what
Speaker 17: else right I say? But like Kamala Harris, I think
Speaker 17: there's some big advantages and big disadvantages. And I think
Speaker 17: the first disadvantages I've barely heard of her. I really
Speaker 17: haven't heard much about her at all, really, But the
Speaker 17: advantage is she can completely she can completely remake herself
Speaker 17: between now on the election of November, she can put
Speaker 17: herself forward as pretty much anything. But as the leader
Speaker 17: of the free world, you've got to be concerned. It's
Speaker 17: a really challenging period of time. There's challenges to the
Speaker 17: world order. The US plays such a big part in
Speaker 17: world security. Is this really the right choice for the
Speaker 17: United States? Well, I guess we'll find out.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 3: I have heard that been said over the past couple
Speaker 3: of days that a lot of Americans don't know her.
Speaker 2: So she can now define who she is. I find
Speaker 2: that hard to.
Speaker 3: Believe as a close observer of politics, but nonetheless that
Speaker 3: could be true. Cayleb But what about this other point.
Speaker 3: Many are saying that she was just a diversity pick
Speaker 3: as the VP, and that she doesn't have the substance
Speaker 3: to be president.
Speaker 2: What do you think of those criticisms of her.
Speaker 1: I think those criticisms are quite correct. I mean the
Speaker 1: idea that someone who was appointed and of course these
Speaker 1: decisions are often made when it comes to VP. You know,
Speaker 1: you want to fit a certain demographic or attract a
Speaker 1: certain vote. And she had the ethnicity and the woman
Speaker 1: factor right, which was good for a straight old white
Speaker 1: man who'd been in politics since he was twenty nine,
Speaker 1: like Joe Biden. But the idea that she could genuinely
Speaker 1: be president of the United States. I see Keith has
Speaker 1: a Bunderberg Ginger Beer sitting behind him there. I'd be
Speaker 1: rushing to put a bit of bunderberg rum in that
Speaker 1: at that idea, because she is finally unburdened by what
Speaker 1: has been, as she likes to say, with Joe out
Speaker 1: of the way. But her polling has consistently been worse
Speaker 1: than Joe Biden's, and that really is a feat. And
Speaker 1: we've made jokes for the better part of the four
Speaker 1: odd years that Joe's been present that you know, he's
Speaker 1: one sneeze away from carking it, and that if he
Speaker 1: does that, what we're going to end up with is
Speaker 1: worse than Joe Biden himself, which again is an extraordinary proposition.
Speaker 1: So for her to actually be a saleable politician to Americans,
Speaker 1: I just can't see it happening. But the trouble for
Speaker 1: the Dems is they don't really have anything else.
Speaker 3: Well, they might have if they'd had a proper debate
Speaker 3: process and allowed candidates to emerge, to put the hand
Speaker 3: up and then be thoroughly tested on a range of issues.
Speaker 1: Well correct. I feel like the real problem now though,
Speaker 1: is that after Trump being shot at, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: essentially a lay down mazaire for him, it would have
Speaker 1: to be someone extraordinary to beat Donald Trump, and if
Speaker 1: you put up a genuinely good candidate who perhaps isn't
Speaker 1: enough to beat him, you're essentially burning them four years
Speaker 1: earlier than you'd want to you'd want to go in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 3: The other way of looking at it is you're increasing
Speaker 3: their name recognition to give them a better chance next time.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's the optimistic way of looking at it.
Speaker 3: Increasing the name recognition. I mean, that's why Vivek Ramaswami
Speaker 3: run this time, to give him a better shot in
Speaker 3: the future. But Israeli Prime Minister Venture Nettiya, who touched
Speaker 3: down in Washington, DC today.
Speaker 2: Only to be met with the news that his.
Speaker 3: Meeting with Biden had been canceled as the as the
Speaker 3: current president still recovers from COVID. This is a snub, though,
Speaker 3: Keith Pitt, because the White House physician said that Biden's
Speaker 3: symptoms have all but cleared. There's been no news that
Speaker 3: the meeting has been rescheduled for later in the week.
Speaker 3: We know they've got a very difficult relationship. In fact,
Speaker 3: the reports were that Joe Biden wanted to delay his
Speaker 3: announcement that he was stepping back from the race so
Speaker 3: that he wouldn't give Nettaya who the satisfaction.
Speaker 2: That's unbelievable given.
Speaker 3: The US is meant to be Israel's closest and firmest ally.
Speaker 17: It is really concerning Shari. I mean, I remember very
Speaker 17: clearly the COVID period here when we were in government,
Speaker 17: and you know, you could have a face to face
Speaker 17: meeting if you lock up in quarantine and you're unwell.
Speaker 17: But there was lots of things that we had to do,
Speaker 17: even though we were quite six. But I remember doing
Speaker 17: a live speech into the Northern Territory Energy Club in Darwin,
Speaker 17: hundreds of people attending on an iPad on top of
Speaker 17: the ironing board in my apartment in canber and with
Speaker 17: a light shine on my face, I terribly had well.
Speaker 17: But the idea that you can't even do that, I mean,
Speaker 17: that is really concerning. The US has been very vocal
Speaker 17: about their support, as they should be, that they are
Speaker 17: backing an outcome in Israel which should ensure that there
Speaker 17: are no further terrorist attacks, and I think that's something
Speaker 17: that we should all support. But the idea that they're
Speaker 17: playing games with Netanyahu in country, I think that's a
Speaker 17: high risk endeavor.
Speaker 3: Yeah, incredibly rude especially to an Ala. Fine, if he's
Speaker 3: not well enough, or he might still have symptoms, maybe
Speaker 3: he doesn't want to get Natiya who sick postpone it say, yep,
Speaker 3: we've had to counsel it.
Speaker 2: Cheezy a friend call exactly well, but.
Speaker 3: He's already in the United States, is they he's in Washington.
Speaker 3: Let's turn to Queensland. Premier Stephen Miles is now under
Speaker 3: scrutiny for taking two jets during his five day crime
Speaker 3: policy tour. Caleb, what has these politicians obsession with private planes?
Speaker 1: I know, and it's been worked out that they could
Speaker 1: well have taken commercial flights on every single one of
Speaker 1: those routes, with the times lining up almost exactly to
Speaker 1: the times that these private planes took off, and they
Speaker 1: went all up regional Queensland and whatever and all they
Speaker 1: had to do to get I mean, they took two plants, right,
Speaker 1: they could have had it down to one plane if
Speaker 1: they'd simply booted one or two staffers off and made
Speaker 1: them fly commercial. They should all have been flying commercial
Speaker 1: in the first place. But all it would have taken
Speaker 1: is to put two people on a commercial flight and
Speaker 1: you would have have the cost which by the way.
Speaker 1: We still have not been told to go on this
Speaker 1: you know, magical mystery tour to go and tell Queensland
Speaker 1: is how a you're going to fix the youth crime
Speaker 1: crisis that you haven't been able to fix for the
Speaker 1: last four years.
Speaker 2: It is a lot than that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well, but it is an absolute outrage and
Speaker 1: the fact that no one, be it Miles or any
Speaker 1: of his advisors. I wonder, coming into an election year,
Speaker 1: what people will think and a cost of living crisis,
Speaker 1: that we spend money on two private plans to go
Speaker 1: and lecture people in regional Queensland about how we're finally
Speaker 1: going to fix the youth crime crisis. How will people
Speaker 1: look at that? No one thought about that?
Speaker 3: Just extraordinary Keith Pitt, you're obviously a politician. We've seen
Speaker 3: this same trend of private jet use by Anthony Alberizi
Speaker 3: and Labor taking two private jets to a climate change
Speaker 3: sustainability announcement. You know, is there something that afflicts both
Speaker 3: sides of politics? Do you think when you guys are
Speaker 3: back in government, maybe you shouldn't use the private jets.
Speaker 12: Shari.
Speaker 17: It's a big country and one of the things you've
Speaker 17: got a great shortage of in politics's time, so that
Speaker 17: there are always times when it is actually the smart move.
Speaker 17: If you're the Prime Minister and leader of the opposition,
Speaker 17: there are genuine reasons to do it. But I think
Speaker 17: Steven Miles they should change his nickname from Giggles to Stevie.
Speaker 2: Two planes.
Speaker 12: I think mister.
Speaker 17: Bonds hit it right on the head. It was a silly,
Speaker 17: silly thing to do in an election year. It could
Speaker 17: have been easily avoided. And it's not like he has
Speaker 17: a shortage of staff. He could have shed any number.
Speaker 17: He's got dozens and dozens of them that could have
Speaker 17: gone on a commercial flight, met them there on site,
Speaker 17: used the advances and cut it back to one plane
Speaker 17: and Bob's your uncle. You can probably make the case
Speaker 17: and make the argument, but it doesn't help a single
Speaker 17: person that had their cast ale on this week. It
Speaker 17: doesn't help a single person who had their homebreaken into,
Speaker 17: It doesn't address youth crime, and it just makes queenless
Speaker 17: Anne Labor once again look foolish and uncaring about what
Speaker 17: the cost of living is for every single Queensland.
Speaker 3: I think that's the problem, kayl We ain't a quest
Speaker 3: of living. Christ families are struggling to just literally provide food, clothing,
Speaker 3: basic amenities for their children, parents, for their families, even
Speaker 3: at the cost of going to school, uniforms.
Speaker 2: Textbooks, etc.
Speaker 3: And yet you see these politicians taking private jets when
Speaker 3: there are commercial flights available, as you say, and.
Speaker 2: You know, the issue is they forget what it's like.
Speaker 3: And anyone who has caught an interstate flight lately knows.
Speaker 2: That half the time it's canceled. It doesn't matter which
Speaker 2: our line it is.
Speaker 3: Whether it's virgin orquite as they count half the time
Speaker 3: they counceled half the time.
Speaker 2: And they're so expensive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they are. I mean I flew down to
Speaker 1: Melbourne and back on the weekend and the price is
Speaker 1: probably twice what it was two years ago. And I
Speaker 1: know that was coming out of COVID and they really
Speaker 1: wanted people to take flights. But the prices aren't going down.
Speaker 1: But where's the accountability here? I mean, you know, our
Speaker 1: friend Bronwin Bishop, who was on this panel earlier, of
Speaker 1: course many years ago, got caught using a private helicops.
Speaker 1: The cost of that helicopter was five grand, which she
Speaker 1: repaid and she paid for doing that with her speakership.
Speaker 1: She lost her speakership ultimately didn't matter. The multiple times
Speaker 1: that we have seen since then politicians do things like this,
Speaker 1: people like Monique Ryan flying from Melbourne to Canberra business
Speaker 1: class every week, which is less than an hour's flight.
Speaker 1: You don't need to do that. Have we seen a
Speaker 1: single one of these people like Miles pay with their
Speaker 1: job or or any consequences.
Speaker 3: She is actually worse than that, because we've seen a
Speaker 3: grandmother in Perth bashed because of the incompetence of Andrew
Speaker 3: Giles and the government. A reason that should actually have
Speaker 3: seen someone be stacked. Sack should actually have led to
Speaker 3: minister all accountability, but you just don't get it under
Speaker 3: this government because the Prime Minister thinks it's a sign
Speaker 3: of strength not to sack ministers rather than holding them
Speaker 3: accountable and up to a high standard. Well, Keith and Caleb,
Speaker 3: thank you both very much for joining me to Night.
Speaker 2: After the Break.
Speaker 3: A revolutionary blood test that can deduct heart attacks and
Speaker 3: strokes and patients has been developed right here in Australia.
Speaker 3: I'll be joined by the lead researcher live next. Welcome back,
Speaker 3: Well Melbourne scientists have developed a revolutionary new blood test
Speaker 3: set to save lives by predicting the risk of heart
Speaker 3: attacks and strokes. And I'm pleased to say the head
Speaker 3: of metabolomics Laboratory at the Baker Institute, Professor Peter Mikkel,
Speaker 3: joins me. Now, Professor, this sounds remarkable. How does it
Speaker 3: actually work.
Speaker 14: So the technology that we're using Sharhi is a process
Speaker 14: called lipidomics, and so what that allows us to do
Speaker 14: is take the same blood sample that you would normally
Speaker 14: give for a cholesterol test or that type of thing,
Speaker 14: but we measure about two hundred and fifty different lipid
Speaker 14: species within that single blood sample, and then we use
Speaker 14: an AI based algorithm to combine all the information from
Speaker 14: those different lipid species into a risk score that's then
Speaker 14: better able to predict cardiovascular risk.
Speaker 3: And is it accurate? Have you been able to determine
Speaker 3: whether it can in fact accurately predict whether someone is
Speaker 3: likely to have a heart attack or a stroke.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 14: Look, so the way that this will work is we
Speaker 14: won't be replacing the existing tests. So there's already a
Speaker 14: heart health check and the part Foundation has just released
Speaker 14: an no CVD risk score, will be utilizing that. But
Speaker 14: what we'll be doing is the current test that classify
Speaker 14: people is either low, intermediate or high risk. And those
Speaker 14: people that are intermediate, so neither low nor high, that
Speaker 14: presents a clinical challenge. And so what we'll be doing
Speaker 14: is retesting those intermediate risk people and then reclassifying a
Speaker 14: portion of those which contain most of the individuals who
Speaker 14: go on to have a cardiovascular event into that high
Speaker 14: risk group. And so of course then they can be
Speaker 14: effectively treated.
Speaker 3: And so how will this work? How soon will it
Speaker 3: be available to people? Is it something that anyone could
Speaker 3: go to their doctor, their GP to get this blood test?
Speaker 14: Now, So, look, what we've done is we've developed the test,
Speaker 14: We've validated the test in large population cohorts. But we
Speaker 14: now need to do a clinical trial with this test.
Speaker 14: So this is going to take about two years, and
Speaker 14: we'll be starting this next year. So once that's done,
Speaker 14: at the same time, we'll be developing the clinical platform
Speaker 14: so that we'll be ready to roll this out to
Speaker 14: the public probably about the end of twenty six And so.
Speaker 3: If someone is in that intermediary range and they are
Speaker 3: told that they could actually be at high risk of
Speaker 3: heart attack, what steps would they then need to take
Speaker 3: to lower that risk? And is it something they then
Speaker 3: have a repeat test, say once a year.
Speaker 14: So typically if you're classified as high risk, then you'd
Speaker 14: go on a statin therapy. So to lower your cholesterol,
Speaker 14: you'd go on a blood pressure medication if your blood
Speaker 14: pressure was high. They're the two mainline treatments for cardiovascular risk,
Speaker 14: but of course there are other types of blood cholesterol
Speaker 14: lowering medication that are used in some instances. The idea
Speaker 14: is that yes, you would have a repeat test and
Speaker 14: that might be yearly or every second year.
Speaker 3: Look it sounds amazing, and look good luck with the
Speaker 3: clinical trial. And thank you very much for explaining it
Speaker 3: all to us tonight. Thank you, professor, and it's great
Speaker 3: to be back. Great to see you all this evening.
Speaker 3: I'll see you tomorrow at eight o'clock. And right now,
Speaker 3: here's Paul Murray.
