1 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: On scorn littles Australia. 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 2: This is the Wada Panalkey Show. 3 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panekey Show. I'm 4 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: Danika di Giorgio coming up tonight, and your report finds 5 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:18,920 Speaker 1: social cohesion has crumbled under the Albanesi government. Are we surprised? 6 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: I'll get into that with my panel. Iran's regime Alexa 7 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 1: new leader as the IDF launches a wave of strikes 8 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: across Iran. Peter Jennings will break down the latest developments. 9 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: The US and UK have fallen out spectacularly over Iran 10 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: after Donald Trump absolutely demolished Prime Minister Kiir Starmer Josh 11 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: Hammer is coming up another day, another blow for Australia's 12 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: renewables only experiment, with another green company cutting part of 13 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: its workforce. I and Climber will weigh in and of 14 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: course left he's losing it. Imagine the Left's reaction to 15 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: this bagger. 16 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 3: Aetla Haamine's dead. 17 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 1: But first tonight, the Isis bride saga has taken another turn. 18 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 1: There are reports that new South Wales prison guards are 19 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: being trained to watch over the Isis brides via a 20 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: specialized course called Women in Violent extremism. According to sources 21 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: who have spoken to the Australian training teaching teachers guards 22 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: how to work with Category five prisoners, that is, female 23 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: inmates who are deemed a special risk to national security, 24 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: such as those involved in or inciting terrorism related activities. 25 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: One Nation leader Senator Pauline Hansen says New South Wales 26 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: prison guards have contacted her out of concern for public 27 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: safety and their own welfare. For more on this, let's 28 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: bring in News Corps senior writer Patrick Carlyon and Institute 29 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: of Public Affairs Research fellow Colleen Harken. Good to see 30 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: you both again. Thanks for joining me. Patrick. So you know, 31 00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: now these brides become possibly the issue of prison bosses 32 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: who then have to babysit them. I just think this 33 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: saga gets worse and worse. What do you make at 34 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:05,559 Speaker 1: the developments? 35 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 4: Well, look, this latest news sort of suggests that they're 36 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 4: definitely coming back, doesn't it Now. I think paul Enhanson 37 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 4: got it right. Some people might call Pauline devices, but 38 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 4: I think one hundred percent of Australians think that these 39 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 4: people should not be allowed to come back, and there's 40 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 4: been a very shadowy sort of process they're allowed to 41 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 4: renew their passports, they started coming back. It's unclear really 42 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 4: how much government involvement has been put into bringing them back. 43 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 4: And the point is none of us want them back. 44 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 4: They're dangerous and the fact that they're going to be 45 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 4: you know, it looks after in prisons. Who's paying for that? 46 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 4: I mean, I think we are all very united on 47 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 4: this issue. 48 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: Look, Absolu's a good point. Who's going to pay for it? Exactly? 49 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: And Colleen, I just think that this goes to show 50 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 1: no government department seems to know how to handle these brides, 51 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: and yet by all accounts, they're likely to come back. 52 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,839 Speaker 1: But the problem here, and it stems from the heart 53 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: of this issue, is that they should not even be 54 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: allowed back here in the first place. Well, that's right. 55 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 5: I mean, these people left knowing full well where they 56 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 5: were going. It was actually illegal at the time for 57 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 5: them to leave. They've gone to assist in isis Islamic 58 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 5: regime scenario. Nobody wants them back. Our government is hell 59 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 5: bent on shutting down free speech. If you have an opinion, 60 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 5: that's going to be criminalized, and yet we're helping these 61 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 5: people come back into a place where it is endagering 62 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 5: national security, UK, for example, has been able to handle 63 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 5: this by stripping iss brides of their citizenship. I don't 64 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 5: understand why Australia is not taking those measures as well. 65 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 5: They've been able to do it under the basis that 66 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 5: they have parental heritage of other countries and or about 67 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 5: national security. Our government's not even looking at these things. 68 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: No. I mean, of course, because our boy's got a 69 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: panda to you to his base. Is he's doing it 70 00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: all for votes as he has been for the last 71 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: two years now, speaking of we knew this and our 72 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: research has confirmed that social cohesion is crumbling under the 73 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: Albanese government. Who would have thought. A report by the 74 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: Australian Strategic Policy Institute says Australia is at a point 75 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: of national reckoning after more than two years of increasingly 76 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: radical protests, some of which, of course have featured the 77 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: flags of terror groups. There's been chance of where are 78 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: the Jews from the River to the Sea globalizing into 79 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: FATA two and more recently tributes to the dead Iranian 80 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: dictator Ayatola Hamani Patrick, what do you make of the report? 81 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 6: Look? 82 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 4: I think the report now? Is it? Danika? This has 83 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 4: been ongoing since October twenty twenty three. And the problem 84 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 4: is that these extreme sort of symbols have been allowed 85 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 4: to flourish here in Australia. They haven't been condemned as 86 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 4: they should have been. And I think the report makes 87 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 4: a very good point in saying, you know, there should 88 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 4: be joint statements from the major parties to condemn sort 89 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 4: of actual incidents of extremism, to make the point, this 90 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 4: is not our Australia, this is not who we are. 91 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 4: We will not tolerate this. So I think the report 92 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 4: is very timely and very welcome. 93 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more. And Colleen, you know what on 94 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: earth has labor done to try and unite the country 95 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: in these two and a half years since October seven. 96 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 5: Well, it's not only just about immigration and mass immigration. 97 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 5: Freedom comes with responsibility and cohesion comes from an agreed 98 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 5: adherence and loyalty to our rule of law, our democracy 99 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 5: and our values. And that hasn't been what's been promoted 100 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 5: for quite some time, not just in the last couple 101 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 5: of years. If we look at, for example, the Bondi scenario, 102 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 5: the alleged government was born here and went through our 103 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 5: education system, and part of our education system is actually 104 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 5: teaching kids to be ashamed of our country, and they're 105 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 5: deliberately undermining our social cohesion, teaching the kids to be 106 00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 5: a global citizen, not a nationally proud citizen of Australia. 107 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 5: We have third party providers who give content to schools 108 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 5: that teach the kids to sit for the national anthem. 109 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 5: We have teachers in schools, we're in kafirs. It's not 110 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 5: just at this sort of adult level that this social cohesion, 111 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 5: the lack of social cohesion. 112 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: Is an issue. It's in our schools as well. Yeah, 113 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: and it's sad that the next generation have basically been 114 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: brainwashed into this sort of ideology. I think it's really 115 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: really concerning now. Look, the war in Iran has happened 116 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: at just the right time for the Treasurer Jim Chalmers, 117 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: who's been under increased scrutiny in recent weeks amid surging 118 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,679 Speaker 1: inflation and worsening living standards. Economist Judah Sloan has warned 119 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: in the Australian Today to get ready for Jim's flood 120 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: of global uncertainty excuses, writing that we will be asked 121 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: to forget about the economic difficulties that had been apparent 122 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: and concentrate on the economic consequences of global developments in 123 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: the Middle East. Well, you know, Patrick, we know he 124 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: loves to blame the Ukraine War has been at the 125 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: top of his list for years, then global heads and 126 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: what do you think Iran's just perfect now? 127 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 4: Really, I think we're still blaming COVID down here in 128 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 4: Victoria for a two hundred billion dollar death. Judith is 129 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 4: quite right, and I mean there are these underlying issues, 130 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 4: as you pointed out, the high inflation, the statement living standards, 131 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 4: the budget deficits that we're being forecast. This is all 132 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 4: pre existing what's happened in Iran in the past few days. 133 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 4: But I'm sure as weeks go by this continues, it 134 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 4: will be because of Iran. Iran will be blamed for 135 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 4: every economic problem that we have. And there is history 136 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 4: on this going back on both sides of the political fence. 137 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely. And then by the time that the budget 138 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: gets handed down, Colleen, you know they'll make and break 139 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: their promises and say, oh, well, we had to change 140 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: course because Iran happened. It's all too predictable. 141 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 5: I think Dr Chalmers can't believe his luck. But I'd 142 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 5: like to think that the Australian people are not that stupid. 143 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 5: We have for a couple of years the pressure on 144 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 5: the cost of living. We've felt the consequences of the 145 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 5: overspend of government and the inflation. You know, we've sat 146 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 5: here feeling it and experiencing it. So I don't think 147 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 5: anybody's really going to copy it. That just in the 148 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 5: last couple of days has made all the difference. You know, 149 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 5: our woes don't belong in the Middle East. Our woes 150 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 5: actually have started and begun in Canberra. 151 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, they absolutely have from the top down for sure. 152 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: Let's talk about what's going on in both your state 153 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: right now, Victorian Premier just into Allen's in a world 154 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: of pain. A new poll by fresh Water Strategy has 155 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: found that seventy four percent of voters want the state 156 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 1: Labor government to be properly investigated, potentially through a Royal commission, 157 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: regarding criminal infiltration and the corruption of the CFMAU and Victoria. 158 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: According to that poll, fifty three percent of voters also 159 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: say the allegations and Labour's weak response would influence their 160 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: vote come the election in November. You know, Patrick, the 161 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: fact the Premier keeps, you know, fobbing this off as 162 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: no Biggie is breathtaking. What are the fallbacks? What are 163 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: the consequences? 164 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 4: Look, you're talking about fifteen billion dollars, Danika, which since 165 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 4: Alan argues about she says it's less, but she doesn't 166 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 4: want to find out how much it actually is. She 167 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 4: doesn't want to find out who was involved, who is 168 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 4: to blame, and what we can do to make sure 169 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 4: that this doesn't happen again. And at best, I mean 170 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 4: I would call that dishonest, just the way she's gone 171 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 4: about it. But at best it's disingenuous. And I'm really 172 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 4: pleased to see that the electorate has cotton on it 173 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 4: is and said this is nonsense. We need to know. 174 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 4: And if c Cintra Allen loses the election, there will 175 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 4: be a royal commission and it will have much wider 176 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 4: terms of reference than the one that she should call now, 177 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 4: So she might want to reconsider that the politics of 178 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 4: actually doing nothing, because it's not working for her government 179 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 4: at all. 180 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: No, clearly, and it's not just some CFMU. Of course, 181 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: it's crime. There's so many problems going on there, Colleen. 182 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 1: But you know, to Patrick's point, it's good to s 183 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: the electric responding, what do you make of the polling. Well, 184 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: I think. 185 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 5: It's a great opportunity for the coalition and for Jess 186 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 5: Wilson in particular, because the average person looks at this 187 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 5: and says, it's fifteen billion dollars of our money that 188 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,719 Speaker 5: we want to know where it's gone. And the big 189 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 5: question is why, why wouldn't you investigate that? Why did 190 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 5: she trying to hide it? 191 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: Push it back? 192 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 5: It's a simple question to say, this money's gone somewhere, 193 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,959 Speaker 5: Where is it uncovered? We want the transparency. So I 194 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 5: think it's a great opportunity for the opposition. They should 195 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 5: be pushing it harder and longer so that it becomes 196 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 5: a real issue at the time of the election campaign 197 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 5: rather than just sort of a bubble that goes away. 198 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, And now look before you both go, we've 199 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: got to talk about this Kyle and Jackie O saga. 200 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 1: Isn't it fascinating? Who would have thought? Former co host 201 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: of the Kyle and JACKIEO Show on KSFM, Jackie O Henderson, 202 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: She's addressed her bombshell exit from the decades long part 203 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: a ship that she had with Kyle Sandalans after he 204 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: mocked her on air. Now she's told reporters today that 205 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: she is quote feeling good and that she's healing, but 206 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: could not comment on whether that she would actually return 207 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 1: to the airwaves. Patrick, I thought they're on air blow 208 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: up was a stunt initially when I first taught it Sawa. 209 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: But wow, I mean, they're so highly paid as it is, 210 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,839 Speaker 1: and they just couldn't reconcile. 211 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 4: It's amazing, isn't it. It's the biggest media breakup of 212 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 4: all time. That's two hundred million dollars they were being paid, 213 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 4: reportedly over ten years, and you sort of think for 214 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 4: that sort of money, you'd probably try and work it out. 215 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 4: And a lot of insiders were saying it was a stunt, 216 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 4: or perhaps it was a stunt. Plainly it wasn't, And 217 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 4: plainly it's going to cost Kyle potentially tens of millions 218 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 4: of dollars because he sort of basically got to show 219 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 4: why he has not been sort of guilty of serious misconduct. 220 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 4: So the way this will play out over the coming 221 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 4: weeks and months is absolutely fascinating. 222 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I just wonder, Colleen, if the only people 223 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: who are going to benefit from this are now the lawyers. 224 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 5: Well, I'm pleased to tell you Danika. I've never listened 225 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 5: to an episode of their radio show, but I have 226 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 5: read articles from time to time, and I have to say, 227 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 5: I think that Jackie O, whatever her name is, has 228 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 5: got a bit of a glass jaw, because my understanding 229 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 5: of this show is that for years they have denigrated 230 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,959 Speaker 5: other people and bullied other people, and you know, it's 231 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 5: been pretty unpleasant behavior on their part until it has 232 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 5: come to her. And now that she's sort of been 233 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 5: ridiculed or teased or whatever you want to call it, 234 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 5: she's called it and said, you. 235 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: Know, I've had enough. 236 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 5: But this has been their behavior as far as I 237 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 5: understand about other people, for a very long time, and 238 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 5: they've made a lot of money out of it. So 239 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 5: I don't have a lot of sympathy for either of them. 240 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: No, And I mean, if you're going to dish out, 241 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: you've got to be prepared to take it, you know, 242 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: to be able to take it. That's just the way 243 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: it is. I agree. Fascinating though, I look forward to 244 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: seeing how it plays out. Patrick Carlin and Colin Harken, 245 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: good to see you both again, Thanks for joining me. Well, 246 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: the IDF has begun launching, what it says, our broad 247 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: wave of strikes targeting various military sites and infrastructure across Iran. 248 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: At the same time, Iranian opposition media is reporting a 249 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: new Supreme Leader has been elected to replace Ayatola Ali 250 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: Hamene moch Taba Hamone has been selected to replace his father. 251 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: Joining me now is adjunct fellow at the Institute for 252 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,839 Speaker 1: Public Affairs and former Deputy Secretary for Strategy with the 253 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: Australian Government Defense Department. Peter Jennings, Peter, appreciate your time 254 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: as always, thank you. Is the regime desperately trying to 255 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: resurrect itself here? Does it have any success in doing 256 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 1: so even as the IDF ramps up its attacks. 257 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 7: Well, it's certainly desperate days for them. And in Muaitaba, 258 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,959 Speaker 7: I think they've found a very lesser figure to become 259 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 7: the Supreme leader. No theological credentials whatsoever that was used 260 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 7: to be regarded as critical for the job. And his 261 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 7: real claim to fame is that he's been the leader 262 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 7: of a group called the Bassage, which is the thugs 263 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 7: on motorbikes that go around suppressing crowds in Tehran and 264 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 7: other cities. So if people want a Nazi analogy, this 265 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 7: is the Ernst Room character, the guy who's in charge 266 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 7: of the secret police thugs. He is not a person 267 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 7: that's going to be able to negotiate with the Americans 268 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 7: or anybody else. I think it does reflect very desperate 269 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 7: days as far as the regime is concerned, the authoritarian 270 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 7: regime is concerned. But I guess there are plenty of 271 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 7: others that can fill that role if Mutaiba finds him 272 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 7: self dead in the next few days, and so the 273 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 7: Americans and the Israelis will just kind of keep working 274 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 7: through the order of the leaders that they have to 275 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 7: deal with. 276 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: It does sound like they are getting desperate. How big 277 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: is a threat of proxies Now we've seen, you know, Hesbala, 278 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: the Hooti. What happens here and would that be of 279 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: concern to the United States. 280 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 7: Well, we can't dismiss the threat that they're there. They 281 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 7: in isolated cases, have the capacity to launch missiles or drones. 282 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 7: The Hooties in particular, I think, have got some reasonably 283 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 7: sophisticated defense equipment, but they're much reduced. They've lost their 284 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 7: command structures. They're clearly not going to be getting direction 285 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 7: or support from the Iranian regime any longer. So I 286 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 7: think they have declining strength. They can still do damage. 287 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 7: But I don't think this presents a strategic threat anymore 288 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 7: to Israel or to the American military presence through the 289 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 7: Middle East. 290 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: Now, look, Donald Trump has said that he launched this 291 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: Operation Epic Theory against Iran because he was convinced that 292 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: the Islamic regime was going to attack first. Here's what 293 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: he said overnight. 294 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 3: No, I might have forced their hand. You see, we 295 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 3: were having negotiations with these lunatics, and it was my 296 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 3: opinion that they were going to attack first. They were 297 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 3: going to attack if we didn't do it. They were 298 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 3: going to attack first. I felt strongly about that. And 299 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 3: we have great negotiators, great people, people that do this 300 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 3: very successfully and have done it all their lives, very successful, 301 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 3: and based on the way the negotiation was going, I 302 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 3: think they were going to attack first. 303 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: Has he got a case there, Peter, that had he 304 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: not moved, Iran would have first. 305 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 6: Well. 306 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 7: I think the context is that Iran has been at 307 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 7: war with Israel and the United States, and I'm going 308 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 7: to say even Australia. Let's not forget those terrorist acts 309 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 7: that Iran commissioned in Australia in late twenty twenty four. 310 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 7: Iran has been at war with the Democratic West for years, 311 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 7: and Trump's concern in particular was, well, what happens if 312 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 7: it gets to a point that they can reprocess that 313 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 7: uranium to turn it into and all of a sudden 314 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 7: they've got Nicklear bombs with missiles capable of carrying them. 315 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 7: I don't know if Iran was close to an attack 316 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 7: forty eight hours ago seventy two hours ago, but certainly 317 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 7: the broader context is they've been in a fight for 318 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 7: a very long time, and I don't think any American 319 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 7: president could really take the risk of finding an Iran 320 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 7: all of a sudden equipped with nuclear weapons. So this 321 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 7: has been something that the last three or four American 322 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 7: presidents have struggled with, but only Donald Trump has had 323 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,199 Speaker 7: the courage to take it to a military operation to 324 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 7: stop Iran from acquiring those weapons of mass destruction. And 325 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 7: so I think he made a necessary call based on 326 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 7: a piece of tactical information, which was the gathering of 327 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 7: the Supreme Leader commenty with forty of his closest friends, 328 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 7: and that was reason enough to start the attack at 329 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 7: the time they did. Perhaps the American plan would have 330 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 7: been for forty eight hours later who can say, But 331 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 7: you know, broadly, I think America was acting essentially in 332 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 7: self defense, understanding that Iran was a threat, and Iran 333 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 7: was determined to acquire in nuclear weapons, and you put 334 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 7: those things together and that becomes a threat which America 335 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 7: just could not tolerate. 336 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: No, there's a threat to the West as well to 337 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: the whole world. Absolutely. Now, Iran has vowed to widen 338 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: its retaliatory strikes. It's threatened to cripple Middle East economic 339 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 1: centers if the US and Israel did not relent. Iranian 340 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 1: drones have already struck the US consulate in Dubai and 341 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: earlier the US embassies in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. How 342 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: do you see this now playing out in terms of 343 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: any retaliation. I mean, Trump is already very firmed, firmly 344 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: warned Iran not to Surely the US and Israel have 345 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:49,360 Speaker 1: the upper hand here. 346 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 7: Yes, I think they do, and I think the nature 347 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 7: of the Iranian retaliation has actually been very limited. They 348 00:18:58,280 --> 00:18:58,959 Speaker 7: seem to have. 349 00:18:59,160 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 8: Now. 350 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 7: That is, the US in Israel just largely destroyed Iran's 351 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 7: capacity to launch faster, more damaging missiles. What they're left 352 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 7: with is slower, smaller drones, which certainly are dangerous things, 353 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 7: but they're not going to destroy embassies for example. And 354 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 7: you know, largely now the Americans have sunk the Iranian Navy, 355 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 7: so Iran's ability to close the oil trade through the 356 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,479 Speaker 7: Straits of Whimers I think is extremely constrained. That's not 357 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 7: to say, Jeneka that they mightn't be able to get 358 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 7: one fast small boat onto close to a tanker and 359 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 7: do some damage, but their ability to shut the region 360 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 7: down I think has now been pretty much destroyed by 361 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 7: the first few days of the American and Israeli attack. 362 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 7: And what's going to go now is a sort of 363 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 7: a comprehensive process of the Americans and Israeli's step through 364 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 7: the Iranian order of battle to make sure that their 365 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 7: capacity to do more damage is progressively further limited. I 366 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 7: would be very surprised if Run at this point is 367 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 7: going to be able to map massive attacks, maybe one offs, 368 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 7: but not things that are going to cripple the oil 369 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 7: flow through the straitsil for Moose. 370 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 6: For example. 371 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean maybe Donald Trump that is right 372 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 1: when he says, you know, I've got the upper hand 373 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: on them on them right now, especially as they seem 374 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: to be so much more weakened and diminished. Peter Jennings, 375 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: We've got to leave it there. Great to have you 376 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: on as always Fear Analysis. Thank you for joining me. 377 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 1: Still to come left, He's losing it. Plus Donald Trump 378 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: demolishes UK Prime Minister Kiir Starmer over Iran. I'll play 379 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: you his comments and get Josh Hammer's reaction next. Now 380 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: it is time for lefties losing it and I have 381 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: to start on a positive note. Have a listen to 382 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: this Iranian woman absolutely giving it to the deluded Democrats. 383 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 9: Crats are brainwashed. I don't understand how you guys can 384 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 9: support the killing of forty thousand people over the past 385 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 9: three weeks. But yet when Trump bombs your on this 386 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 9: is what they were asking for. They were asking to 387 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 9: be bombed so that the government can go away. Now 388 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 9: you guys are upset that like an elementary school of 389 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 9: children was killed, Well, what about all the forty thousand 390 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 9: people that were killed before. This doesn't make any sense. 391 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 9: You guys are fake humanitarians. 392 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: I may perfectly said, She's not wrong, is she? Because 393 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: the Democrats and the left have absolutely lost their marbles 394 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: over the Iranian strikes, even though this was a murderous 395 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: regime and one with its finger on the nuclear trigger. 396 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 1: And this is what freedom looks like. Have a look 397 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: at the Iranian women's national football team who refused to 398 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: sing the national anthem of the Islamic regime at the 399 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: Asian Cup. This is courage, this is bravery, and the 400 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: hope for freedom is now in song and swam. 401 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 3: Supreme Leader Atla Harmine is dead, dead dead dead dead 402 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 3: dead dead. 403 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 1: Atla Harmine is dead. 404 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 3: All harmony, he's dead. 405 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: Play that at nightclubs, absolutely love it.

Seriously, 413 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: shut up, you hysterical imbecile. I mean, the left are 414 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: seriously so dumb, deranged and delusional. They weren't threatening anybody. 415 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: She says, well, how about you take yourself to downtown 416 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 1: Tehran and find out and thank god this woman put 417 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: her in her place, you know, what you're doing. We're running. 418 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: I don't know what they are doing exactly. Now back 419 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: to the Democrats, they are tying themselves in knots of hypocrisy. 420 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: After these commentsary surfaced of Nancy Pelosi where she defended 421 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,679 Speaker 1: the then Obama administration's decision to strike Libya without the 422 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: congres rational authorization that she believes Donald Trump should have 423 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: got before he struck Iran. 424 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 4: I'm saying that the president did not need authorization initially 425 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 4: and still does not need any. 426 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,719 Speaker 2: Authorization from Congress. 427 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: One Libya, yes, and now have a listen to House 428 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: Minority Leader. How came Jeffrey's word salad? When he was 429 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 1: asked about this on Fox News. 430 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 9: Back in twenty eleven, Nancy Pelosi said that then President 431 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 9: Obama didn't need congressional approval to bamba Libya. 432 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 7: Now how Democrats say President Trump needs that approval to 433 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 7: obamba rn. What's the difference? 434 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 2: Well, obviously Libya and the circumstances connected to that were 435 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 2: very different than the circumstance that we face in Iran 436 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 2: right now. I mean, I don't even understand the genesis 437 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 2: or basis of that question. I suggest that you're not 438 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 2: asking it in good faith Libya when not actually seen months, 439 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 2: as I've indicated, first of all, was not in Congress 440 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 2: at the time, So we're dealing with what we're dealing 441 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 2: with right now, which is a cintash endless war. 442 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,479 Speaker 1: I mean, he can't even pretend to plead ignorant when 443 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: he really and truly is as thick as two planks 444 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: of wood. I Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi has released a statement 445 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: saying she stands by Obama's decision not to seek congressional 446 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: approval on Libya. She says there is an absolute distinction 447 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: between the limited military operations in Libya and the broad 448 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: escalating war with Iran initiated by President Trump. I mean, 449 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: she's grappling as usual, grappling at straws, and is a 450 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: complete and utter embarrassment. And now it's time for derangement 451 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 1: gone mad. Why is it always the white liberal women 452 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,679 Speaker 1: that are number one in the lunatic asylum ranks? 453 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 9: And literally, if you have any part to play in 454 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 9: the American military industrial complex. 455 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: Literally you, I hope you never make it home. I'm 456 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: so serious. So hang on a minute. She actually says, 457 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: heroic you s troops who put their lives on the 458 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: line for the country should never make it home. I mean, 459 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: these lefties do not actually value lives. But of course 460 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: they will tell you they are the most loving and 461 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 1: tolerant of them all. And we'll even use force when necessary, 462 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:20,360 Speaker 1: as this guy found out. Why don't you leave America? 463 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 11: Why don't you leave? 464 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: You hate this imperialist country. Why don't you leave? 465 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 12: When Iranian women were written and murdered by their government, 466 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 12: none of you said. 467 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 1: You're fake activist? Why don't you sneak. 468 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 12: About the fifty thousand Iranian. 469 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 13: Some recute and I want to call out the fact 470 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 13: that you pretend, Oh, don't touch me. 471 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 12: Meanwhile, you're presenting me. 472 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 6: And I'm going to go, that's okay. You can't imprison me, 473 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 6: you fucking fake terrorist cosplaying children. 474 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: I mean, they're absolutely crazy, aren't they. And let's be honest, 475 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 1: none of those cosplaying children would even have jobs. They 476 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: just hoped from one protest to another so that they 477 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 1: can feel so much better about themselves. And speaking of 478 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: white liberals, never underestimate their stupidity. 479 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 10: Saudi Arabia said to Trump on Sunday. On Sunday, sorry, 480 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 10: a few days ago, No way, you're not going to 481 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 10: use our military biass. Saudi Arabia is now against UE. 482 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,479 Speaker 10: So it's Saudi Arabia guitar and Jordan, I think, and 483 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 10: Turkey and Egypt. I'm confused of all, but there's the 484 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 10: Saudi Arabia Jordan Quitar said, America, if you want to bomb. 485 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: Me Ryan, you're not going to use our VSS.

He claims there that Trump is a diminished figure. 509 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: The President just took out the leader of a murderous 510 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: regime in a daylight operation. That does not scream diminish 511 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: to me. It screams boss. And now here's Jasmine Crockett 512 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: with her latest crock. 513 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 15: Of you know what, let me tell you something. I 514 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 15: am here because this is truly life or death. We 515 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 15: have an administration that is not only killing people, but 516 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 15: it is a dream killer. 517 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: Right now, and to crazy Kamala Harris, who's back on 518 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: the wines, back on the gin and tonic, back on 519 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: the words salads, and back backing up illegal immigrants. 520 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 8: Minneapolis, just look at what we've been seeing. It's so fantastic. 521 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 8: People coming out with their whistles, their saff and videotaping 522 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 8: and you know, with perfect strangers and in aiding perfect strangers. 523 00:29:59,160 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: It's been so. 524 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 14: Beautiful to see. 525 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 8: And again this is what I mean about we have 526 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 8: the late inside of us. 527 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: Well, the US and UK have fallen out spectacularly over 528 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: Iran after Donald Trump absolutely demolished Pm Kiir Starmer. Have 529 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: a look at this. 530 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 3: This is not Winston Churchill that. 531 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 11: We're dealing with. 532 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: I meanwhile, Kirstarma has released this week and woke ad 533 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: on Iran talking to European leaders. 534 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 4: Ahde Friedrich really could to hear from you. 535 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 11: I think we are all concerned about what could happen 536 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 11: within the next couple of original dates. 537 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: We weren't involved, as we've made clear in the strikes. Oh, Emmanuel, 538 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 1: Emmanuel and Friedrich. I mean please joining me now? Is 539 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: Newsweek Senior editor at large Josh Hammer. Josh, good to 540 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: see you as always, Thanks for joining me. What is 541 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: it with the UK leader's obsession suddenly with saying, oh, no, 542 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: we're not involved in the strikes. It's like, of course 543 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: you weren't. You're a spineless fool. I mean, he is 544 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: no Churchill. 545 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 16: No, I think that's probably the understatement of the century. Frankly, 546 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 16: I here Stammer. Currently his approval rating if you look 547 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 16: at the polls during in the UK, he's somewhere between 548 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 16: forty and fifty points underwater. That's not exaggeration. He is 549 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 16: at this point in his prime minister tenure, the least 550 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 16: popular prime minister in the history of modern British political polling. 551 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 16: It's utterly catastrophic and Labor is going to get absolutely 552 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 16: walloped whenever the next election, whether it's scheduled or snap election, 553 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 16: ends up and ends up happening. Query who will benefit 554 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 16: the most? Personally, I would place my own wager on 555 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 16: Nigel Farage and reform UK there. But no, the UK 556 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 16: has been in declining power for a very very long time. 557 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 16: By the way. That makes me upset. I'm actually an 558 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 16: Anglo file myself. I'm an American obviously, but I think 559 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 16: that I think that the Western world, the civilized world 560 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 16: in general, owes a huge debt of gratitude to the 561 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 16: British for all that they gave us. For centuries and 562 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 16: centuries of the English common law and various modern conceptions 563 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 16: of individual liberty and justice and equal protection. A lot 564 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 16: of this really does come from the British tradition. But 565 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 16: this country is just a shell. It is an absolute 566 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 16: shell of what it was. I mean, not even just 567 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 16: three four hundred years ago, but really what it was. 568 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 16: As Donald Trump said during World War Two, I mean, 569 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 16: Winston Churchill is rolling in his grave frankly looking at 570 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 16: here Starmer right now Starmar is now trying to do 571 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 16: some mop up a business. He's trying to say, Okay, 572 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 16: you know, maybe you can actually use our bases first 573 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 16: actions when it comes to Iran there. But I mean, 574 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 16: how stupid do you have to be to let your 575 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 16: country get completely overrun with jihadis, which was tragically is 576 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 16: increasingly what the UK has done to itself, not just 577 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 16: these Pakistani rape gangs, also just this harrowing anecdotal footage 578 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 16: of all these marches to the streets of London supporting 579 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 16: Hamas and this and that. They're how dumb do you 580 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 16: have to be to willfully subject your own count chat 581 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 16: and then and then to try to make some moralistic 582 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 16: points about how we'd enjoined the American strike on Oh wait, yeah, 583 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 16: the world's number one state sponsor the very jihad that 584 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 16: we just will lend the front door. It's just so 585 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 16: totally perverse. Again, as an angle of fhiol I take 586 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 16: no pride in it. But unfortunately it. 587 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: Is where we are well. Absolutely, and it's very clear 588 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 1: that all Kirstarma is doing is pandering to votes, that 589 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: that's only wants in certain sections of the community. That 590 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: is absolutely all that he wants. Now, look, I thought 591 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 1: that's the Secretary of State Marco Rubio, he was very 592 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 1: strong as well in his commentary. He's hit back at 593 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: the critics of the strikes. 594 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 13: Have a listen, let me explain to you guys, this 595 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 13: is simple English, okay. Iran is run by lunatics, religious 596 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 13: fanatic lunatics. They have an ambition to have nuclear weapons. 597 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 13: They intend to develop those nuclear weapons behind a program 598 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 13: of missiles and drones and terrorism that the world will 599 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 13: not be able to touch them for fear of those things. 600 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 1: And this is the weakest they've ever been. How much 601 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: pressure Josh is the administration under to explain the strikes 602 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: even though it is just so obvious, as Marco Rubio 603 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: just said, Donald Trump keeps saying Iran would have been 604 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: the one to pull the trigger first had they not intervened. 605 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 16: So the polling overall of the American electorate is pretty split. Actually, 606 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 16: just before you, un I started chatting Danika, the most 607 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 16: reason Paul I saw actually had literally a dead heat 608 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 16: fifty to fifty approved disapprove on a straight up thumbs 609 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 16: up thumbs down. Now, Republicans overwhelmingly support this, and by 610 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 16: the way, contrary to to what you hear from the 611 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 16: lights of Tucker Carlson and Megan Kelly and folks like that, 612 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 16: contrary to that, it's actually self identified macro Republicans who 613 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 16: support the strikes at a considerably even higher clip than 614 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 16: just normy Republicans. There So the president's base is enthusiastically 615 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 16: entirely behind these strikes. Democrats principally are are pretty much 616 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,879 Speaker 16: lining up all their ducks in a row against it. There, 617 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 16: So that leaves, as is often the case, they're the 618 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 16: persuadable middle. So I think when you hear from administration, 619 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 16: when when you hear from Secretary of Rubio, when you 620 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,760 Speaker 16: hear Secretary of Hegstath, when you hear from the Chairman 621 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,799 Speaker 16: of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Kine, first of all, 622 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 16: they're trying to do their jobs, right, I mean, that's 623 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 16: that's the most important thing. They're trying to actually fulfill 624 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,120 Speaker 16: their task. The Secretary of State, Secretary of War, and 625 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 16: chairman of the Joint Cheese. But if there's a political 626 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 16: spill over there that they're really just trying to play 627 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 16: to the middle of the electorate. The thing though, about 628 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 16: Donald Trump, did he goes. I don't think he actually 629 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,840 Speaker 16: particularly cares about the polling on this issue. He's been very, 630 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 16: very consistent on the issue of Iran for a very, 631 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,279 Speaker 16: very very long time. In fact, if you look at 632 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,479 Speaker 16: all the issues that Donald Trump has been outspoken about 633 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 16: for decades, there, from my vantage point, there is perhaps 634 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 16: only one issue that Donald Trump has a longer and 635 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 16: more consistent track record on than Iran, and that's the 636 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 16: issue of tariffs and trey, where he has been just 637 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 16: remarkably consistent for the better part of a half century. 638 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 16: But there's this clip circulating over the past forty eight 639 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 16: hours or so of Donald Trump going on a talk 640 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 16: show during the Tehran hostage crisis when the regime in 641 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 16: its infancy then storm the embassy. The US embassy there 642 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,279 Speaker 16: in Tehran sees a lot of hostages for fourns or 643 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,399 Speaker 16: forty four days before Ronald Reagan freed them, and Trump 644 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 16: back then nineteen eighty was essentially complaining that Jimmy Carter 645 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 16: presidency in this old cliff. He complained that they were 646 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 16: not using the US military to go in at and 647 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 16: minimum try to free American hostas, and Maximan tried to 648 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 16: overthrow this tyrannical regime in its then infancies. He's been 649 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 16: very consistent. His very first speech down the Gilded Escalator 650 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,400 Speaker 16: at Trump Tower in June twenty fifteen. People remember it 651 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 16: for his comments about the Mexicans and the border and 652 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,439 Speaker 16: all that there, and that's true, that was memorable part. 653 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,440 Speaker 16: But he also had a line in that very speech, 654 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,839 Speaker 16: but how Iran is a major threat, will never get 655 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 16: a nuclear weapon. He's been remarkably consistent there. The only 656 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 16: crazy part is that the Molas apparently didn't believe him, 657 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 16: and boyd they found out the horror way that Donald 658 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:29,360 Speaker 16: Trump is not bluffing. 659 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. They did not suspect that this would ever come. 660 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 1: I think you're absolutely spot on, and I really honestly 661 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,879 Speaker 1: think that if all goes to plan here, this could 662 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,720 Speaker 1: be one of the best foreign policy achievements in modern history. 663 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 1: I mean, what Donald Trump has done here has been extraordinary. 664 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,879 Speaker 1: We've got to talk about New York Mayor Zora and 665 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,400 Speaker 1: mem Darmi on I just think this guy is a 666 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,360 Speaker 1: real waste of space in that role. He's added his 667 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 1: two useless sense in he can't even say whether or 668 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 1: not Iran is better off with or without the Eyela. 669 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 11: I have a little and I've also said that while 670 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 11: I may be a young mayor, I am old enough 671 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 11: to remember the devastating consequences of our country pursuing a 672 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 11: war with the intent of regime change in that very 673 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 11: same region, not that many years ago. 674 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,799 Speaker 1: He is dangerous. He is a typical socialist Josh. The 675 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 1: Eyetola is responsible for the debts of hundreds of thousands 676 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:28,280 Speaker 1: of people, and this guy can't even give a straight answer. 677 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 16: So let's not forget that Zoramdani was actually found and 678 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,840 Speaker 16: we owe some credit here to a normalization called memory 679 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 16: the Middle East Middle East Media Research Institute, they actually 680 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:43,359 Speaker 16: uncovered this footage Zormamdani speaking on the very first day 681 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,719 Speaker 16: of Ramadan at an Iranian regime linked mosque, a mask 682 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,520 Speaker 16: that's actually on all of the FBI watch list because 683 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,719 Speaker 16: it's connected to various Iranian regime front groups. The United 684 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 16: States or Mam Donnie chose that mosque in New York 685 00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,719 Speaker 16: City to speak at on the very first Day of 686 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 16: Ramadan that was literally just a week week and a 687 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 16: half ago, give give or take. This is a guy 688 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 16: who was the founder when he was in college up 689 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 16: in Maine. He was the founder of his so called 690 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,800 Speaker 16: Students Were Justice in Palestine chapter, otherwise known as s JP. 691 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 16: S JAP is deeply connected to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. 692 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 16: It's essentially a Muslim Brotherhood front group organization here also 693 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 16: has some ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Ma'am, Donnie's 694 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 16: a lunatic. Yeah, he's very glib. He's smooth talking, he's 695 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 16: good looking, he knows how to string a sense together. 696 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 16: He's basically Barack Obama two point zero, except he's actually 697 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 16: substantially more dangerous. And Barack Obama was pretty dangerous, but 698 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 16: Zormamdani's actually much more dangerous, potentially, God forbid if he 699 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,399 Speaker 16: gets higher than his current already pretty high perch there. 700 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,240 Speaker 16: Because he is the singular encapsulation of what I referred 701 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,720 Speaker 16: to and many others referred to as the red green alliance, 702 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,360 Speaker 16: of this deeply unholy alliance of convenience between the Marxists 703 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 16: on the one hand and the Islamus on the other. 704 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 16: He is absolutely a Marxist is a guy who has 705 00:38:56,080 --> 00:39:00,480 Speaker 16: quoted Carl Marx his Communist Manifesto to each accurtant their need. 706 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:02,400 Speaker 16: He literally, you go to his Twitter feed, he's living 707 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,960 Speaker 16: quoting the Commis Manifesto for years. There. He also has 708 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 16: sympathy to the Iranian regime, as you correctly know, and 709 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 16: to various other radical Islamis factions. There a guy who 710 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 16: couldn't condemn or or even bring himself to dis him 711 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 16: himself from the genocidal calls to globalize the into fada. 712 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 16: He only withdrew from endorsing that phrase under immense, immense pressure, 713 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 16: and he did so basically halfway through his mayoral campaign. 714 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,880 Speaker 16: So the guy is a subversive fifth column frankly in 715 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 16: my view, and tragically he's been elected to lead the 716 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 16: nation's most important city. There the only silver line I 717 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 16: have Denika is One of my favorite quotes is this 718 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,760 Speaker 16: notion from hl mank in the twentieth century newspaper columnists 719 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,319 Speaker 16: that democracies Democracy is the theory that the people know 720 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:46,919 Speaker 16: what they want to the compul and know what they want, 721 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,279 Speaker 16: then they deserve to get it good and hard, and 722 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,240 Speaker 16: they're getting it good and hard. In New York hopefully 723 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:52,439 Speaker 16: they wake up sooner rather than later. 724 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 1: Well, look, you certainly hypees and let's not forget man 725 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,120 Speaker 1: Zori mm Dami was a rapper, a singer. I mean, 726 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,360 Speaker 1: he had a list of olda's different random jobs, and 727 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,400 Speaker 1: then suddenly he gets this epiphany that he wants to 728 00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,239 Speaker 1: become mayor and everything was meant to be free, and 729 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,759 Speaker 1: suddenly he's, you know, an expert in foreign policy as 730 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,320 Speaker 1: well as just extraordinary. Now, look, Donald Trump has threatened 731 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 1: to cut off trade with Spain, so he came out 732 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 1: today he accused the NATO ally of failing to meet 733 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 1: defense spending commitments and refusing to allow US forces to 734 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:25,960 Speaker 1: use Spanish bases to support operations related to strikes against Iran. 735 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,840 Speaker 1: I wonder if he'll make good on this, on this threat, Josh, 736 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:31,000 Speaker 1: what impact could this have? 737 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 16: Well, he definitely might. Look this is this administration takes 738 00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,839 Speaker 16: a fairly skeptical approach towards towards Western Europe. I think 739 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,600 Speaker 16: that's been pretty clear. We opened our conversation talking about 740 00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,319 Speaker 16: Cure Starmer and Donald Trump's very harsh words for a 741 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,080 Speaker 16: cure Starmer. He's Trump's had very harsh words when it 742 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,239 Speaker 16: comes at times to Emmanuel Macrone in France as well 743 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 16: there and and Spain is currently led by but by 744 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,319 Speaker 16: a zealous left winger, a guy who was sent who 745 00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,920 Speaker 16: was accused Israel of genocide there, who is not particularly 746 00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,799 Speaker 16: things to say about the United States and various other 747 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,320 Speaker 16: Western powers in general there. So no, I think it 748 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 16: is absolutely not past Donald Trump to try to impose crippling, 749 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,400 Speaker 16: potentially terri of sanctions. Who knows. I don't think he 750 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,120 Speaker 16: particularly cares. Frankly, this pain is is in NATO. Why, 751 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,239 Speaker 16: Because the United States is the ultimately guarantor of NEO. 752 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 16: The United States is the ultimate guarantor of essentially all 753 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:23,440 Speaker 16: of these invariably semi effectless to fall on feckless Western 754 00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,919 Speaker 16: transnational institutions. There, the United States is the only reason 755 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,720 Speaker 16: that NATO still exists, that the Nine Nations still exists, 756 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 16: that all these various organizations still exists there. So that's 757 00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:35,240 Speaker 16: that's kind of besides the points. And you know, really 758 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:39,319 Speaker 16: the administration's approach towards Europe, which we saw, probably adds 759 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,080 Speaker 16: apex we saw with these with these two Munich Security 760 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,840 Speaker 16: Conference speeches last year from the Vice President jad Evance 761 00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 16: this year from Secretary of State Mark or Rubio, where 762 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 16: they both take a very skeptical approach toward towards Europe. 763 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,280 Speaker 16: The way to view this is that America is trying 764 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,920 Speaker 16: to bring Europe back to its glory. America wants Europe 765 00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,879 Speaker 16: to be what it was in the not so distant past. 766 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,560 Speaker 16: It's pretty ironic, isn't it, that, in the aftermath of 767 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,360 Speaker 16: the joint US is really campaign against the Irani regime 768 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,760 Speaker 16: that pretty much all the various Arab countries in the region, 769 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:14,920 Speaker 16: Saudi Arabia, Yui, Bahrain, Kuwaits, even Katari, Iran's erstwhile ally 770 00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,320 Speaker 16: they all came out in support of the of the 771 00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,239 Speaker 16: United States and Israel, and it was the UK and 772 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 16: France above all that were equivocating. Germany was initiallyquivted, came 773 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,319 Speaker 16: they seemed to have essentially gotten in line. But that's 774 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:30,440 Speaker 16: a very strange state of affairs, isn't it. Right, Where 775 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,279 Speaker 16: there's this military campaign against this Muslim country and the 776 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,319 Speaker 16: Muslim world is much more supportive than Western Europe. That's 777 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:37,920 Speaker 16: not the way it should be there, And I think 778 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,680 Speaker 16: that's ultimately really kind of deep down what's animating this 779 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:42,600 Speaker 16: standoup between the US and Spain as well. 780 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, look, absolutely. And let's not forget I mean, Donald 781 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,880 Speaker 1: Trump's pushed other countries as well well, if they'd defense 782 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:51,759 Speaker 1: spending that he was even pushing for Australia too. So look, 783 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:53,839 Speaker 1: I'll be very interested to see what happens here. Josh 784 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:55,680 Speaker 1: hammert nice to catch up with you. Thanks very much 785 00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,480 Speaker 1: for joining me on the show. Still to come another day, 786 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:03,120 Speaker 1: another blow for Australia renewables only experiment. Ian Plymer is 787 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,520 Speaker 1: next on the latest green company to slash its workforce. 788 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,960 Speaker 1: Welcome back, well. Energy Minister Chris Bowen has tried to 789 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 1: reassure us that he's got everything under control amid predictions 790 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,360 Speaker 1: that petrol prices will soar by more than forty cents 791 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,359 Speaker 1: per liter in the coming days. Here, he was there 792 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:28,839 Speaker 1: is no. 793 00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,399 Speaker 17: Need to rush to the service station and fill up. 794 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,600 Speaker 17: I do understand people's concerns, but it's important that people 795 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,400 Speaker 17: know we do have a good stock of petrol in 796 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:39,560 Speaker 17: reserve in Australia. 797 00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:44,280 Speaker 1: Joining me now is esteemed geologist and author professor Ian Plymer. 798 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,759 Speaker 1: Ian great to see you again, so Bowen says, no, Look, 799 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 1: it's fine, no worries, nothing to see here. So I 800 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:52,480 Speaker 1: guess we can all take a breath. 801 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,880 Speaker 6: Well, I guess we have to be really worried about you, 802 00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 6: and I'm still waiting for a two hundred and seventy 803 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,000 Speaker 6: five dollars. I've seen what a mess that he's made 804 00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 6: with our power system, and if he's going to make 805 00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,919 Speaker 6: anything equivalent to that powers is the mess, then we're 806 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 6: going to be out of fuel now. We need diesel. 807 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,840 Speaker 6: We need diesel more than petrol. We needed to plow, 808 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 6: we needed to seed, we need to weed, we needed 809 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,920 Speaker 6: to harvest. We needed to transport food to the cities. 810 00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:21,960 Speaker 6: Once the food is in the cities, we've got to 811 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:26,319 Speaker 6: transport it around using diesel. He doesn't seem to understand 812 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:30,560 Speaker 6: that this whole country runs on diesel. He's talking about petrol. 813 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:35,279 Speaker 6: He's absolutely clueless. He's completely destroyed our energy system in 814 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:39,480 Speaker 6: this country, and he's now starting to think, well, maybe 815 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:43,080 Speaker 6: we should be destroying the PETROLLIU ministry. The only solution 816 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,879 Speaker 6: is what the French did in nineteen seventy three when 817 00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,800 Speaker 6: there was a petroleum crisis, and that is to build 818 00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:52,480 Speaker 6: nuclear power stations. This is why France is a nuclear 819 00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,239 Speaker 6: power country. This is what we should be doing in 820 00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,720 Speaker 6: this country. We should be drilling for our own oil. 821 00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:02,760 Speaker 6: We should be converting coal into petroleum products, as Germany 822 00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:06,640 Speaker 6: did in the Second World War, as South Africa did 823 00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,759 Speaker 6: when they were embargos. There is the technology out there. 824 00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:13,160 Speaker 6: We are prepared for absolutely nothing in this country. 825 00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:17,600 Speaker 1: No we aren't. So just like the renewables only facade 826 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:19,920 Speaker 1: that we're on now as well, he's got no one 827 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:23,480 Speaker 1: idea about the petroleum industry. We're in really great hands 828 00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:27,000 Speaker 1: and rain hands now. Look. A fascinating report in The 829 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,719 Speaker 1: Australian has shed light on the disturbing environmental impacts of 830 00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,879 Speaker 1: the killing fields that are wind farm projects. Researched by 831 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:38,239 Speaker 1: Cans based conservation group Rainforest Reserves Australia has found that 832 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,040 Speaker 1: tens of thousands of hectares of native forest and woodland 833 00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,239 Speaker 1: of high biodiversity value are set to be affected by 834 00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,359 Speaker 1: more than twelve hundred proposed renewable energy projects. So we're 835 00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:51,200 Speaker 1: talking forests being cleared, Mountains are being blown up and flattened, 836 00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:55,040 Speaker 1: all to make way for these monstrosities, some of which 837 00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,760 Speaker 1: are two hundred and fifty meet as tall. Of course, 838 00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:01,600 Speaker 1: there's you know the damage well to birds, You've got 839 00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:05,239 Speaker 1: these dead bats and bird life is also been found 840 00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,840 Speaker 1: at the basis of these towers ian. But this is 841 00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,120 Speaker 1: not what the left wants you to see or know, 842 00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:10,680 Speaker 1: is it? 843 00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,880 Speaker 6: Well, certainly not. Why is it that the renewable industry 844 00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,560 Speaker 6: can get away with this? Yet if I'm a farmer 845 00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:22,040 Speaker 6: or a miner or trying to clear some land for 846 00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:25,040 Speaker 6: a factory, that I would get fined and go to 847 00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:28,400 Speaker 6: jail for doing what these renewable companies have done. Now, 848 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,480 Speaker 6: to make it worse, these renewable companies are owned by 849 00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:34,680 Speaker 6: foreign interests. And to make it even worse, that the 850 00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:38,600 Speaker 6: hardware that we need for wind and for solar comes 851 00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:43,279 Speaker 6: from China. So we are taking probably the most environmentally 852 00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 6: damaging steps we've ever taken in this country. And where 853 00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,319 Speaker 6: is the left. We hear absolutely nothing out of them 854 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,400 Speaker 6: about them. Where are the greens, We don't hear anything 855 00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:58,880 Speaker 6: from them. So this is absolute whole scale destruction of 856 00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:03,560 Speaker 6: the environment, and we hear nothing. Apparently by using Chinese 857 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,839 Speaker 6: solar and wind equipment that is for the greater good, 858 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,960 Speaker 6: and therefore we can destroy the environment. You could not 859 00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,160 Speaker 6: do this as a farmer. Why can you do it 860 00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:16,640 Speaker 6: for someone that's producing very expensive electricity for the average consumer. 861 00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,800 Speaker 1: Exactly, and one that is based on a risk because 862 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,160 Speaker 1: we don't know if it's even going to work. That's 863 00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,640 Speaker 1: the problem. And now look one of Australia's top renewables developers, 864 00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:29,240 Speaker 1: this is a Conia Energy, has cut about fifteen percent 865 00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:33,359 Speaker 1: of its Australian green energy workforce as planning bottlenecks and 866 00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:37,439 Speaker 1: rising costs continue to stifle investment in the sector. Ian 867 00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:39,960 Speaker 1: here we go again, more job cuts. 868 00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:43,839 Speaker 6: What does this suggest, Well, it suggests that ever since 869 00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:47,520 Speaker 6: the renewables fashion started, we've been told lies. We've been 870 00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:49,759 Speaker 6: told that this was going to create jobs. It's been 871 00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:53,040 Speaker 6: the exact opposite. And what we've done is we've lost jobs. 872 00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,600 Speaker 6: We've lost jobs in the coal industry, we've lost jobs 873 00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 6: in the manufacturing industry. So what we're being told is 874 00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 6: the exact opposite of reality. Now we should have known this. 875 00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,880 Speaker 6: We've seen it happen in Germany. We've seen it happen 876 00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,120 Speaker 6: in the US, we've seen it happen in the UK. 877 00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:10,080 Speaker 6: If you want to go renewables, you are going to 878 00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,640 Speaker 6: lose jobs. And to prop up renewables you need gas. 879 00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:18,000 Speaker 6: Now this goes completely against the ideology which we're being told. 880 00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:22,880 Speaker 6: But nevertheless we get thrown these lives all the time, 881 00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,200 Speaker 6: and we're meant to lie down and take it. I 882 00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:26,360 Speaker 6: think enough is enough. 883 00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:30,440 Speaker 1: Couldn't agree more now, Look, Australia's biggest data center operators 884 00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,960 Speaker 1: have more than doubled their reported carbon emissions over the 885 00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:36,800 Speaker 1: past five years as artificial intelligence continues to see more 886 00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:41,239 Speaker 1: and more investment. Gee, don't tell Chris Bowl on that one, 887 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:43,720 Speaker 1: but is this just the reality of AI. 888 00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:49,600 Speaker 6: Well, if you think carbon emissions are harmful, then you 889 00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:53,640 Speaker 6: should make these II centers nuclear. If you think they're 890 00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,560 Speaker 6: not harmful, that it's plant food and that we're feeding 891 00:48:56,600 --> 00:49:00,239 Speaker 6: the environment, then we should be emitting carbon into the atmosphere. 892 00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:04,120 Speaker 6: So for Chris Bone, it's a lose lose situation, and 893 00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:08,239 Speaker 6: one day he will find that we need AI to 894 00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,160 Speaker 6: run this country. One day we'll find that we need 895 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:15,439 Speaker 6: huge amounts of power which sea breezes and sunbeams can't 896 00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,440 Speaker 6: give us, and we're going to have to have power 897 00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:19,960 Speaker 6: with grunt. It's either going to be nuclear, or it's 898 00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:21,760 Speaker 6: going to be gas, or it's going to be cold. 899 00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:23,400 Speaker 6: But it's not going to be wind and it's not 900 00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:26,080 Speaker 6: going to be solar. And that we know from data 901 00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,640 Speaker 6: centers elsewhere in the world. So I think he's got 902 00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:30,760 Speaker 6: to get out of the cocoon and start to get 903 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:35,319 Speaker 6: some sort of realistic energy program for Australia. Meanwhile, we 904 00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:36,440 Speaker 6: wither on the vine. 905 00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:38,960 Speaker 1: Look, we can only hope that one day he might 906 00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:42,960 Speaker 1: wake up and realize the sort of magical, mystical carpet 907 00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,080 Speaker 1: ride that we're on. Ian PLYMUK, good to see you. 908 00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:47,600 Speaker 1: Thanks very much for your time, appreciate it. That's it 909 00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,160 Speaker 1: for me.
