Speaker 2: This is the winder Panahi Show.

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Rita Panahe Show. I'm

Speaker 3: who is in denial in another blow to relations with

6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 3: Israel as the PM forges ahead with his plan to

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 3: recognize Kalestine. See the Incredible Moment to Chinese warship flows

8
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 3: into its own Coast Guard vessel in the.

9
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 4: South China Sea.

10
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 3: Michael Schubrinch will explain what happened Alex Stein on Donald

11
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 3: Trump's plan to crack down on crime and homelessness in Washington, DC,

12
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 3: and it's got the Left and the Democrats in a spin.

13
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 3: Anti Israel group's about to take over another Australian landmark.

14
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 3: I will speak to Kosher Gada and of course left

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 3: he's losing it. Including an unhinged and tragic rant by

16
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 3: a former American TV host.

17
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: When the felon is the teeny weenie mushroom pieces Kinkles

18
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: mctaco at the top of the ticket.

19
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 3: The Prime Minister is desperately trying to justify his appalling

20
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,839
Speaker 3: and treacherous decision to recognize Palestine.

21
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 4: Have a look at this.

22
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 5: The international community is saying enough is enough.

23
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 6: You can't just keep doing the same thing over and

24
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 6: over again and expect a different outcome. And this is

25
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 6: the best opportunity that there is out of a crisis

26
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 6: to actually provide a long term solution, one which sees

27
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 6: a demilitarized state of Palestine enable Palestinians to just live.

28
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 3: Really, because all this does is reward Humus, the same

29
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 3: terror group who slaughtered twelve hundred Jews on October seven,

30
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 3: Shadow Foreign Affairs Minister Michayla Cash had this gaving assessment.

31
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 3: It is reckless, It is disappointing, but more than that,

32
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 3: it does nothing to change the situation on the ground

33
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 3: for the Palestinian people. Joining me now on the panel

34
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 3: is Deputy Executive director of the Institute of Public Affairs

35
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 3: Daniel Wilde and News Corpse senior writer Patrick Carlyonhi to.

36
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 4: Both of you. Thanks for joining me. Patrick.

37
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 3: Look, let's not forget that this is a lifelong dream

38
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 3: of Anthony Alberezi's to recognize Palestine. He's always been pro Palestine,

39
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: and now, as we've just heard, he's trying to justify

40
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 3: this decision by claiming Palestine just wants to live. Well,

41
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 3: what about Israel? I mean, Israel would love that too,

42
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 3: without the threat of her mus wanting to wipe it out.

43
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 2: Well, that's the point to Nika, isn't it.

44
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 7: I mean, Israel has faced this existential threat since nine

45
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 7: forty eight. Over the past seventy seven years, the rest

46
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 7: of the country is around it have tried to obliterate

47
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 7: it and the idea that somehow the Western world can

48
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 7: somehow have this feel good gesture that says, let's not

49
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 7: worry about the details on the ground, let's just make

50
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 7: it better from Afar, it actually does the opposite of

51
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 7: what it's intending to do. I mean, no one's talking

52
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 7: about the fifty hostages that Hamas have at the moment.

53
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: What's happened to them?

54
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 7: Are they going to be Are they innocent souls to

55
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 7: be forsaken for this feel good gesture that won't actually

56
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 7: make the place any safer exactly?

57
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 3: And it just seems like I don't think anybody understands

58
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 3: what is going on here. And Daniel Anthony Arberneezy has

59
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 3: also revealed details of a conversation that he had with

60
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 3: the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanya, who about these plans,

61
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 3: have a listen to this.

62
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 5: I spoke with Prime Minister Netanya who he again reiterated

63
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 5: to me what he has said publicly as well, which

64
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 5: is to be in denial about the consequences that are

65
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 5: occurring for innocent people.

66
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 3: So Daniel, now the PM thinks that Benjamin Netanya, who

67
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 3: is in denial.

68
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 8: What on earth is he on about?

69
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 9: I mean, this really is a terrible government that is

70
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 9: driving our country into the ground at the moment. You know,

71
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 9: this is craven domestic politics that is driving this. Anthony

72
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 9: Albanezi wild like to pretend that he's a great humanitarian

73
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 9: coming on the white horse to save all the people

74
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 9: in Gaza. The reality is it's got to do with

75
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 9: labor seats in Western Sydney that are driving these decisions.

76
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 9: And that's what's been happening for the last couple of years.

77
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 9: And you know, we are so divided as a society.

78
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 9: This could not come at a worse possible time. And

79
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 9: we now have a federal government of our nation that

80
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 9: is making very consequential decisions as a result of an

81
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 9: intolerant and extreme views of a minority in our society,

82
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 9: and the problem is this is only going to be

83
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 9: the start. Whatever those from the Middle East in the

84
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 9: labor seats in Western Sydney demand they get from this government.

85
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 9: And as you identified in your monologue, this is just

86
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 9: rewarding terrorism, plain and simple.

87
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 3: Yep, absolutely and also obviously putting our long standing ally

88
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 3: in Israel even further offside.

89
00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 4: It's just appalling.

90
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 3: Now let's go to Australia's worst premiere just into Alan

91
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 3: over in Victoria. She's been spooking her damaging plan to

92
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 3: make working from home a legal right, putting out cringey

93
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 3: social media videos like this have a look lovely a.

94
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: Preaching working from home is a game changer for families

95
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: everywhere and for Felicity.

96
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 3: Thank you for welcoming us into your home with Charlotte

97
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 3: as well.

98
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 4: Hasn't working from home been for you?

99
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 10: Means traveling to work is one lessing. I've got to

100
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 10: deal a morning with a large family. It's fantastic and

101
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 10: with my husband working long hours, it means that he

102
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 10: can do that and I'm here to help with the family.

103
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 11: There is no reason why you shouldn't work from the

104
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 11: two day work from home right as a right I

105
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 11: think there's actually a really important kind of flaw.

106
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 12: It's not dependent on the whims of the employer.

107
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 3: It feels like a necessary part of modern working life.

108
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 3: So Patrick, she's resorted to recruiting everyday punters for her

109
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 3: daily propaganda videos.

110
00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 4: I mean, what do you make of her?

111
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 7: Well, look, as a Victorian, Dnika, I think this is

112
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 7: a classic piece of cheeky and cynical politics. Look, the

113
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 7: Victorian government doesn't have the power to enshrine two days

114
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 7: of working from home a week. It comes under federal laws.

115
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 7: But it was sort of made. It was announced with

116
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 7: something very cynical in mind, which is it was going to.

117
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 2: Be popular, and it certainly has been popular.

118
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 7: It's a very stale, it's a very arrogant government, but

119
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 7: they know that a lot of average people will say

120
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 7: good on you for looking after us, even though it

121
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 7: is such a bad government and has been for a

122
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 7: long time. Look, it's unlikely to get up, but it

123
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 7: will work in the electorate on this very cynical sort

124
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 7: of level, and we'll wait to see what happens.

125
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 2: But it is a very cynical piece of politic Absolutely.

126
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 4: I just think it's a shocker. Why don't you just

127
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 4: let businesses.

128
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 3: Decide for themselves. Meanwhile, two Allen government sources of total

129
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 3: nine newspapers that quote the backlash against the policy was

130
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 3: not only expected but welcomed within Allan's inner circle. It

131
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 3: reminds me of the phrase you would always hear within

132
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 3: Daniel Andrews's office. Stakeholders aren't voters. That's according to one

133
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 3: of the sources. I mean, Daniel, what a peculiar thing

134
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 3: to say that they don't care at all about business.

135
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 9: Well, that's exactly right, and I think Patrick's point is

136
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 9: spot on. I mean, this will resonate with the typical

137
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 9: person on the streets. Certainly, young working families will probably

138
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 9: welcome it, although I accept the point that there's no

139
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 9: way the Victorian government can actually implement this at all.

140
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 8: And you know, they're making hay out.

141
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 9: Of the disaster that was the federal election, in part

142
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 9: because of the work from home policy that was targeted

143
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 9: at Canberra public servants but was interpreted by many in

144
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 9: the community to affect them as well. But you know,

145
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 9: as you point out, the issue here is that the

146
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 9: Victorian economy is already at the bottom of the economic

147
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 9: league ladder for our country. We've got states like New

148
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 9: South Wales and South Australia that have said, well, you know,

149
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 9: we're happy if Victoria does this because they're going to

150
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 9: poach their businesses that are going to move into states.

151
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 9: So yes, it might be good in the short run,

152
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 9: but in the long run, what you'll find is there'll

153
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 9: be less investment of fewer businesses and therefore fewer jobs

154
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 9: in Victoria.

155
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, and not.

156
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 3: Great for a state which has already broken and backwards

157
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 3: as it is.

158
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 4: Now.

159
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 3: Look, let's talk about the NDIS. It's been revealed key

160
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 3: figures in the Gillard government, who of course founded the

161
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 3: National Disability Insurance Scheme have gone on to chair union

162
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 3: backed super funds that have become the biggest financial winners

163
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 3: from it. Patrick, Look, we're talking a windfall here of

164
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 3: around three hundred and thirty million dollars.

165
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 4: What do you make of the revelations?

166
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 7: Look, the NDIES was a nice idea back a dozen

167
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 7: years ago.

168
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: Its execution has been appalling.

169
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 7: Obviously, it's been a racket for profiteers, for cheats, for

170
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 7: people to make money and as taxpayers money I think

171
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 7: you're looking at I think it costs about fifty two

172
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 7: billion dollars a year at the moment that's farm more

173
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 7: than defense. The policing has been dreadful, and you see

174
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 7: these labor ministers who are part of the boards of

175
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 7: these super.

176
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 2: Funds which have made an awful lot of money.

177
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 7: Now I should point out none of them are personally

178
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 7: profited from it or anything like that. But the whole

179
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 7: NDIS model has been skew we from day one and.

180
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 2: It's cost Australian taxpayers an absolute fortune.

181
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, this whole scheme is a behemoth. It was originally

182
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 3: meant for the most severely disabled and gee, it's just

183
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 3: blowing out week by week. Meanwhile, whistleblowers have also claimed

184
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 3: that people on the NDS are being traded for thousands

185
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 3: of dollars, completely unaware that they're being auctioned off.

186
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 4: To the highest bidder.

187
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 3: They allege that so called concierges offer NDIS recipients to

188
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 3: service providers wanting a percentage of the plan value or

189
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 3: flat rate for the referral, and whichever provider pays the

190
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 3: most gets the patient.

191
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 4: Daniel.

192
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 3: It just feels like week by week there are new

193
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 3: revelations about the roughts involved.

194
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 4: In this scheme.

195
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 9: Well, that's right, another week, another rout it's become a

196
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 9: massive trough that various interested parties have their snouts in, unfortunately,

197
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 9: and it's not delivering outcomes for those who needed. I mean,

198
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 9: the original conception of the NDIS was to help people

199
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 9: that have profound disabilities or catastrophic injuries. I think it

200
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 9: used to be the National Injury Insurance Scheme that they're

201
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 9: morphed into the NDIS.

202
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 8: And I think that's fair enough.

203
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 9: I mean, there's often cases where you can't get personal

204
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 9: insurance for those kinds of outcomes in your life, and

205
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 9: there's a role for government to support that. But we've

206
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 9: just seen ballooning numbers that have not been rained in.

207
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 9: The Costs have skyrocketed, and this government is just not

208
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 9: interested in.

209
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 8: Doing anything about it.

210
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 9: They've waived the white flag, and unfortunately that means that

211
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 9: it's fifty odd billion dollars now it's going to get

212
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 9: to one hundred billion dollars. I mean, can you believe

213
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 9: that one hundred billion dollars on one scheme where something

214
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 9: like ten percent of young adults are on it, Like

215
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 9: ten percent of young adults are on the NDIS.

216
00:10:58,280 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 8: I mean, how does that happen?

217
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 9: Is any looking at this and say, well, Hey, on,

218
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 9: something's going very wrong with this scheme.

219
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 13: Yeah.

220
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 4: Well, I mean this is exactly the problem, isn't it.

221
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 3: This is why what happens when a scheme of this

222
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 3: scale is not means tested. So suddenly every man and

223
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 3: their dog are able to sign up.

224
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 4: Now, look, this is interesting.

225
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 3: Shadow Home Affairs Minister Andrew Hasty has launched a campaign

226
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 3: called Together under One Flag to revive pride in the

227
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 3: Australian Flag, claiming that many Ossies are disappointed to see

228
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 3: protesters burning the national symbol.

229
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 4: Particularly over in Melbourne.

230
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 3: Patrick, I think that Hasty is a future leader of

231
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 3: the Liberal Party.

232
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 4: I think he's brilliant.

233
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 3: He says what it is, and I think he's right.

234
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 3: You know, you get labeled far right just for taking

235
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 3: pride in your country and waiving the flag.

236
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 4: So you know, what do you make of his stance

237
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 4: on this.

238
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 2: I think it's terrific.

239
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 7: Denika, as you mentioned, you had a flag burned at

240
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 7: a protest the other day down here in Victoria. Had

241
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 7: a local council officer describe the Australian flag as potentially

242
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 7: culturally unsafe to some section of Australian society. That's offensive

243
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 7: the idea that the Australian flag is offensive to anyone

244
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 7: in Australia is offensive.

245
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 2: It is a uniting symbol. As Andrew Hasty pointed.

246
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 7: Out, more than one hundred thousand Australians have died fighting

247
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 7: under that flag. It represents what it means and who

248
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 7: we are to be as Australians. And I think it's

249
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 7: a wonderful idea of Andrew to do this.

250
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 4: I agree.

251
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 3: I mean the thought of it being you know, culturally insensitive,

252
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 3: Give me a break. Where are we heading to in

253
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 3: society these days? Daniel, Whether the Australian flag is offensive

254
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 3: to the.

255
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 8: Left, well, exactly right.

256
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 9: I mean this is important leadership from Andrew Hasty, and

257
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 9: I hope we see a lot more of it. We've

258
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 9: got Flag Day coming up on the third of September

259
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 9: and I reckon that'll be the biggest flag day we've had.

260
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 8: For a long time in this country.

261
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 9: And quite rightly, look, the issue here on top of

262
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 9: what you and Patrick have said, is we've got a

263
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 9: Prime minister that won't even stand in front of the flag.

264
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 9: I mean, how did it get to a place where

265
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 9: the Prime minis will early stand in front of the

266
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 9: national flag when it has the.

267
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 8: Aboriginal and Torres straight under the flags there as well.

268
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 8: It's a complete and total disgrace.

269
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 9: We need to be united as a community around our

270
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 9: shared values, and our shared values are embodied within the

271
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 9: national flag. It's not just a piece of fabric with

272
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 9: colors on it. It represents our way of life and

273
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 9: the things that unite us rather than the things that

274
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 9: divide us. And as I say, we are more divided

275
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 9: than any time since World War Two, and it's important

276
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 9: that the flag has pride of place in our civic debate.

277
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 4: I couldn't agree more.

278
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 3: I mean, a couple of weeks ago, the PM's in

279
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 3: China at an official press conference, standing in front of

280
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 3: three flags.

281
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 4: It's just ridiculous. Now we're almost out of time.

282
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 3: But American rapper Snoop Dog has been officially confirmed as

283
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 3: the headline pre match musical act at this year's AFL

284
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 3: Grand Final. Not sure if you're both fans, Patrick, do

285
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 3: you like this idea?

286
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 4: A bit of Snoop for the AFL Grand Final?

287
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 2: Look, he's big Danige. He played at the Super Bowl.

288
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 7: I think in twenty twenty two, we've had Katie Perry,

289
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 7: We've had Tom Jones, We've had the Killers.

290
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 2: Everyone will have a big opinion on it.

291
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 7: Whether it works or not, we will find out very

292
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 7: clearly as soon as the match begins playing. Because we

293
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 7: had Meatloaf, I think back twelve thirteen years ago and

294
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 7: people still talk about how bad he was. Everyone will

295
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 7: have a very strong view.

296
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

297
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 3: Look, let's not even mention meat life. That was probably

298
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 3: the worst out of the.

299
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 4: Ball, Daniel, what do we wreckon a bit of Snoop?

300
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 4: Doggie dog? Are your fan?

301
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 8: Well?

302
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 9: I wonder if Snoop will be given the welcome the country. Oh,

303
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 9: I wonder how that will go down? You know you

304
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 9: know this to me reeks of boomer cultural cringe.

305
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 8: I mean you go back.

306
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 9: My favorite was nineteen eighty seven VFL Grand Final Slim

307
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 9: Dusty singing Waltzing Matilda. Now I know Slim tragically is

308
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 9: not with us anymore, but why can't we have an

309
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 9: Australian singer singing an Australian song and an Australian game.

310
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 9: We don't need to import from me of dollars. He's

311
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 9: American singers.

312
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 4: I feel like we've.

313
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 3: Almost exhausted all options for Rossie Sikers.

314
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 4: That's the problem, Daniel.

315
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 3: I think we've had Barnzy, I think we've had we've

316
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 3: got all the key ones, but no, I take your point,

317
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 3: but yeah, gosh, and welcome to country for Snoop's Yeah,

318
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 3: that's a shocker. Daniel Wild, Patrick Carline, great to see

319
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 3: you both, Thanks so much for joining me. The Ukrainian

320
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 3: president has softened his position on giving up Ukrainian land

321
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 3: to Russia as part of a potential peace deal. Voladimir

322
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 3: Zelenski says any settlement proposal which hands over Ukrainian land

323
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 3: would be rejected, but Ukrainian territory in Russia's control could

324
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 3: be on the table now. This of course comes as

325
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 3: Donald Trump says he would raise it during his meeting

326
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 3: with the Russian president this week.

327
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 14: There'll be some swapping, there'll be some changes in land.

328
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 14: And the word that there were used is you know,

329
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 14: they make changes. We're going to change the lines, the

330
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 14: battle lines. Russia's occupied a big portion of Ukraine, they've

331
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 14: occupied by prime territory. We're going to try and get

332
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 14: some of the territory back for Ukraine.

333
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 3: Joining me now is Director at Strategic Analysis Australia, Michael Schubridge. Michael,

334
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 3: good to see you, Thanks for joining me. This is

335
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 3: quite a concession by Ukraine on land. Do you think

336
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 3: Donald Trump will indeed be successful in getting land back

337
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 3: to Ukraine as part of any sort of deal.

338
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 2: Well, let's see.

339
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 15: But the big danger here is that Donald Trump thinks

340
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 15: this is like two real estate developers, him and Putin

341
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 15: meeting and doing some kind of development deal over property.

342
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 15: It's a much deeper, more difficult thing than that. Putin

343
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 15: wants to grab well defended chunks of Ukraine around the

344
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 15: Don Bass to make attacking Ukraine easier. So Trump has

345
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 15: to avoid that. And there are a whole lot of

346
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 15: other big issues like where are the thousands of Ukrainian

347
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 15: children that Putin's forces have abducted? And what about the

348
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 15: devastation that Putin's forces have caught to Ukrainian cities and

349
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 15: the Ukrainian population. So it can't just be some kind

350
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 15: of land deal, and Ukraine has to be at the table.

351
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 13: Yeah.

352
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 3: Look, it's very, very complicated, So it's going to be

353
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 3: interesting to see how that plays out, and of course

354
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 3: with European involvement as well. Now, look, I want to

355
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 3: ask you about this incident in the South China Sea.

356
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 3: A Chinese warship plowed into its own Coastguard vessel which

357
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 3: was chasing a Philippine vessel yesterday. China confirm that a

358
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 3: confrontation took place and accuse the Philippines of forcibly intruding

359
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 3: into Chinese waters. Michael, I just think that this vision

360
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 3: is absolutely extraordinary.

361
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 4: How does something like this happen?

362
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 15: Well, there's a lack of control in the Chinese Coastguard

363
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 15: and the Chinese navy, and that will disturb Chinese leader Shijingping.

364
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 15: He's told his coastguard and navy to be a great

365
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 15: when it encounters others.

366
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 2: Our navy has found them like that.

367
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 15: But this is really a massive own goal, a massive

368
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 15: loss of prestige for the Chinese military and coastguard.

369
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what.

370
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 15: The Philippines captain that maneuvered so cleverly and successfully really

371
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 15: shows high quality captaining of his vessel.

372
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, good point.

373
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 3: Oh, I just think that just fascinating, fascinating vision. Now,

374
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 3: the Defense Minister, Richard Miles was in Papua New Guinea

375
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 3: today finalizing a new bilateral defense treaty. The Minister also

376
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 3: handed over twelve armored land cruisers to the P and

377
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 3: G Defense Force. Michael, we know that this is all

378
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 3: to counter China's growing influence in the region. Can you

379
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 3: tell us more details about whether this.

380
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 4: Deal is going to be good for us and is

381
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 4: Australia doing enough.

382
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 15: I think it is good for us, and it's good

383
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 15: for Papua New Guinea. We are really each other's security partners,

384
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 15: and it's good that Papua New Guinea wants to get

385
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 15: closer with us.

386
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 2: In defense terms.

387
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 15: We'll probably see Richard Miles go to the rebuilt Lombrum

388
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 15: naval base. I wish we'd build a bigger base for

389
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 15: Australia and P ANDNG and others to use. So it's

390
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 15: good news, but handing over a few up armored land

391
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 15: cruisers shows really there's so much we could be doing

392
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 15: with our P and G partner.

393
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, fair enough.

394
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,959
Speaker 3: Now let's talk about what I believe is Anthony Arbernese's

395
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 3: disgraceful and shameful decision to recognize a Palestinian state at

396
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 3: the United Nations General Assembly next month. This of course,

397
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 3: goes against the position of the United States and Donald

398
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 3: Trump at the moment, which could prove costly as OLBO

399
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 3: still can't get a meeting with the leader of the

400
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 3: Free World Michael, do you think it does put us

401
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 3: in a worse.

402
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 4: Position with the Trump administration.

403
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 15: Well, yes I do, because sure, lots of other countrieses

404
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 15: have recognized a Palestinian state, a state that does not exist.

405
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 15: But Australia choosing to do this right now is really

406
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 15: going to be watched closely by Washington. They are not

407
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,959
Speaker 15: going to do this, and that's because, unlike our Prime minister,

408
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 15: they know that the Palestinian authority that our Prime Minister

409
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 15: says is going to magically reform itself, not be corrupt,

410
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 15: demilitarize Hamas and all these other magical things. The Americans

411
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 15: know that's not going to happen. So really, if the

412
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 15: Prime Minister wanted peace in Gaza, he'd be talking maybe

413
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 15: that idea from mccron about a UN backed security force,

414
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 15: maybe saying Australia would contribute. But the Prime Minister is

415
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 15: not serious. He's just after the sugar rush of people

416
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 15: applauding him.

417
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 3: So, I mean, what does it say that about our

418
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 3: alignment with the United States? So we increasingly moving away

419
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 3: from that and are moving away from a United position

420
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 3: on important like this from our closest ally.

421
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 15: Well yes, I mean, look at the Prime Minister's trip

422
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 15: to China, where he said, this is a fantastic relationship.

423
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 15: We need to grow our economic entanglement even further. Right

424
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 15: when Trump is saying, gosh, we need to start moving

425
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,719
Speaker 15: away from China economically. So we're out of step on China.

426
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 15: We're certainly miles out of step when it comes to

427
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 15: the Middle East. And we've had the Prime Minister giving

428
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 15: odd speeches about how strong we are by refusing to

429
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 15: lift our own weight in defense. So I think Washington

430
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 15: will be looking with amusement and puzzlement at the Albanese government.

431
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's just such a shame it's happening with

432
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 3: our number one ally, a long standing ally.

433
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 4: So we'll watch this one closely.

434
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 3: Michael Schubridge always appreciate your insights and analysis. Thanks so

435
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 3: much for joining me. Still to come, Lefty's Losing ears

436
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 3: Plus Donald Trump deploys the National Guard to Washington, d C.

437
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,719
Speaker 3: As he cracks down on crime and homelessness. Alex Stein

438
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 3: will join me next. Now it is time for lefties

439
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 3: losing it. Donald Trump has deployed the National Guard to Washington,

440
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 3: d C. After announcing a crackdown on crime and homelessness.

441
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 4: But be careful. Do not even mention it to.

442
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 3: Democrat Representative Maxine waters She's calling it a civil war.

443
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 16: Were to mean nothing, actions mean everything. Watch this, Watch

444
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 16: it very jealously, ask a lot of questions. Focus those

445
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 16: cameras on everything that's going on, because this president is

446
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 16: trying to lead us into what could be.

447
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 2: Called a civil war.

448
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, clearly, Maxine Waters Wig is really starting to have

449
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 3: an impact on her brain. Meanwhile, Democrat strategist Jim Kessler

450
00:22:58,800 --> 00:22:59,959
Speaker 3: had a peculiar tack.

451
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 17: If people are afraid to come to d C, go

452
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 17: to Disney World, get fat, eat French fries.

453
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 2: I don't care. I've lived here thirty seven years. I

454
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 2: am not afraid of what.

455
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 3: Don't worry about crime, nothing to see here. Go to Disney,

456
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 3: get fat. That's going to solve all the problems.

457
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 4: Good one, Jim.

458
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 3: And now to the Washington d C protests or should

459
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 3: I say funeral procession? Is that not the most tragic

460
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 3: and dull looking protest you have ever seen?

461
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 4: DC is our home.

462
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 3: You can't have it Trump. I mean all of this

463
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 3: just to stop the crime cleanup.

464
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 4: It's so tragic.

465
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 3: The organizers don't even know what the heck they're trying

466
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 3: to say, will we say we.

467
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 18: Will go Yeah, I mean we're not going into two

468
00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 18: those mass and castle into now priss in Islam, I

469
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 18: won't go into it now to their acose what do

Speaker 18: go to where alligators live?

472
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 8: Hell no, we won't go.

473
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can.

474
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 3: You can really see that moment tick over cut you

475
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 3: in her head. She's she's trying the hardest, she's trying

476
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 3: to hardest, but she's got absolutely no clue whatsoever what

477
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 3: she's on about. In fact, it is so bad the

478
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 3: protesters even turned on each other. I mean, what sort

479
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 3: of a protest was this? They tried to cobble it

480
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 3: together at the last minute. And the irony of them

481
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 3: protesting about crime when they start.

482
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 4: Fighting each other. I mean, you can't make this stuff up.

483
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 3: With the left lunatics great I lefties and now have

484
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 3: to listen to some of the lefty Washington Day Saint meltdowns.

485
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 19: Because he hates the site of homeless people. They're gone.

486
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 19: I don't know where he's gonna move them. I assume

487
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 19: into camps and they're gonna end up on farm somewhere

488
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 19: doing hard labor.

489
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 8: For people.

490
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 4: It's not about protecting the people anymore.

491
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: Now, it's about forcing the law on people.

492
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 16: It is a president quote undermining and negating power that

493
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 16: a city already has in play.

494
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: To navigate its own city, local population.

495
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 4: It's not democratic.

496
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 20: This miserable has never experienced life without a golden spoon

497
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 20: up and you're sitting there acting like he's one of us.

498
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 20: Let me learn you something here, Kletis, you are now

499
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 20: and always will be closer to homeless than.

500
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 2: You ever will be to Trump.

501
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 20: You know, he could lose ninety nine percent of his

502
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,959
Speaker 20: wealth and that would still be true.

503
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 13: So you for the fact that.

504
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 20: You're more than willing to demonize the homeless community as

505
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 20: being the cause of crime in Washington, DC.

506
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 21: I've said it a few times now. We need to

507
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 21: start burning. There needs to be a consequence. We can't

508
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 21: just let fascism take over. We can't let orange mustache.

509
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 13: Man sen him and Hitler.

510
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 21: We can't let him just do whatever he wants.

511
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 3: No, not the tolerant left inciting violence again.

512
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 4: No way, no way. And look over at MSNBC, they

513
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 4: too are having a.

514
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 3: Freak out, claiming President Trump sending in the National Guard

515
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:39,959
Speaker 3: to address crime.

516
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 4: Is you've guessed it racist.

517
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 2: You're trying to hold my temper.

518
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 15: We have to understand this, Chris, within the context of

519
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 15: Donald Trump's racial politics and within the context of his

520
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 15: effort to get Epstein off the front pages.

521
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 3: Ah, yes, that old chestnut. They just love it. They

522
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 3: love the racist line, don't they. Everything is just so

523
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 3: racist with the left. Meanwhile, the crime rate is worse

524
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 3: in DC than many parts of the world, but Dana

525
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 3: bash over at C and N is coming up with

526
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:12,719
Speaker 3: all sorts of excuses.

527
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 22: I should note that the most violent moment in recent

528
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 22: history in DC plus January sixth, and it was an

529
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 22: attack on the United States Capital by a lot of

530
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 22: people who are doing it in the name of Donald Trump,

531
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 22: and it the people who were hurt included members of blineforcemen.

532
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 3: Well, this is just truly fanatical propaganda by a delusional woman,

533
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 3: because Trump supporters.

534
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 4: Actually died that day. She really is a useless liar.

535
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 3: Now, a former TV host and alleged interior designer, Jennifer

536
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 3: Welsh seems to have completely absolutely lost her marbles. She's

537
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 3: gone on an unhinged rant suggesting Trump voters should not

538
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 3: be allowed at Mexican or Chinese restaurants.

539
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: I've had it with white people that triple trumped, Yeah,

540
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: that have the nerve in the audacity to walk into

541
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: a Mexican restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, an Indian restaurant, go

542
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: to perhaps their gay hairdresser. I don't think you should

543
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: be able to enjoy anything but cracker barrel when the

544
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: felon is the teeny weenie mushroom piece of candles mctaco

545
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: at the top of the ticket. I have had it

546
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: from top to bottom white people that triple Trump should

547
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: be banned, boycotted from enjoying the best thing that America

548
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: has to offer, which is multi culturalism.

549
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 3: WHOA Okay, well, let's just unpack that psycho woman's rant. Firstly,

550
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 3: legal immigrants are not a legal immigrants, funnily enough. Secondly,

551
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 3: forty eight percent of Latinos at about forty percent of

552
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 3: Asians voted for Donald Trump last year.

553
00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 4: So old Jenny's.

554
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 3: Bizarre, common and so just disparaging against migrants who've actually

555
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 3: come to the country legally and worked hard. And thirdly,

556
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 3: as for cracker barrel, she's clearly never been Jennifer. Jenny,

557
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 3: jen whoever you are, you really are the perfect example

558
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 3: of a white, unhinged, sad liberal woman.

559
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 4: You poor thing.

560
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 3: Now over in Nova Scotia, they seem to be doing

561
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 3: a real life climate lockdown experiment. I hope you don't

562
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 3: like hiking, fishing, or being outdoors in general, because here

563
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 3: is the premier Tim.

564
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 12: Houston effect of four pm today. We're telling Nova Scotians

565
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 12: stay out of the woods. We are restricting travel and activities.

566
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 12: They really aren't necessary for most of us. Hiking, camping, fishing,

567
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 12: and the use of vehicles in the woods are not permitted.

568
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 12: Trail systems through woods are off limits. Camping is allowed,

569
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 12: but only in official campgrounds.

570
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 3: Look, don't leave home, Just stay at home, I think,

571
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 3: just stay where you are, don't go outside. It is

572
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 3: practically COVID two point zero stealing Canadians off from the world.

573
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 3: Welcome to twenty twenty five authoritarianism. And now to Nancy Pelosi,

574
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 3: who seems to have found herself a new job, this

575
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 3: time helping kids transition.

576
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 11: Well, that is something I'm working for at the national level,

577
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 11: and we have, I said, I are hoping that we

578
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 11: can have gender from care for our trans kids.

579
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 3: Well, as I just mentioned, Donald Trump has announced a

580
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 3: historic takeover of Washington, d C. Deploying about eight hundred

581
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 3: National Guard troops.

582
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 4: To bolster policing. He says it's part of.

583
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 3: A plan to rescue America's capital city from crime and homelessness.

584
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 4: Here is what he said.

585
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 23: I'm announcing a historic action to rescue our nation's capital

586
00:30:55,280 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 23: from crime, bloodshed, bedlam, and squalor and worse. This is

587
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 23: Liberation Day in DC, and we're going to take our

588
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 23: capital back.

589
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 3: US Attorney General Pam Bondi said that the Trump administration

590
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 3: would use every power at.

591
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 4: Their disposal to restore law and order.

592
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 24: Let me be crystal clear. Crime in DC is ending

593
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 24: and ending today. We are going to use every power

594
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 24: we have to fight criminals. Here, President, thank you for

595
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 24: caring about our capital. No more, no more crime rampant

596
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 24: in our beautiful capital.

597
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 3: Joining me now for more on This is comedian and

598
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 3: host of Prime Time with Alex Stein on Blaze TV.

599
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 3: Alex Stein himself, Alex, good to catch up. Thanks for

600
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 3: joining me. Is this a good move and can the

601
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 3: administration actually pull it off?

602
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 17: Well, you know, it is going to be a tough

603
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 17: challenge when it comes to, you know, getting rid of

604
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 17: all the crime in DC, because they have a unique

605
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 17: situation where it is just there's basically no middle class.

606
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 13: It's the ultra wealthy and basically people that are.

607
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 17: Homeless, and so it's created this kind of ecosystem where

608
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 17: people need drugs in that area. So they come from Baltimore,

609
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 17: they come from Virginia, they come from West Virginia, they

610
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 17: come from all areas to go and commit crime in Washington,

611
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 17: DC because it's one of the biggest tourist spots in

612
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 17: the world, and there's a lot of affluent people.

613
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 13: So there's a lot of targets.

614
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 17: So it is going to be a tough task to

615
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 17: stop criminals from committing crime.

616
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 13: Basically an impossible task. But anything is better than.

617
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 17: The current situation that is going on in DC. It

618
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 17: is truly a dangerous place. And I'm not just being

619
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 17: hyperbolic when I say that.

620
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 3: Oh look, no, you riise a good point, and I've

621
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 3: got to siolics the leftings they're in a complete spin

622
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 3: over this. They're having a meltdown, saying it's part of.

623
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 8: A civil war.

624
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 3: But have I actually looked at the crime situation. It's

625
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 3: so bad you can't even wear a backpack into the

626
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 3: supermarket anymore.

627
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 4: Under the rules have a look.

628
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 24: Starting today at twelve giant grocery stores in DC and Maryland,

629
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 24: if you have a.

630
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 25: Bag over fourteen inches, you cannot take it inside the store.

631
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 4: So what does that look like.

632
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,719
Speaker 16: Here's a backpack fourteen inches, This one can't go in.

633
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 26: Also, if you're on you're eighteen years old, you kind

634
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 26: of go into the store.

635
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 4: After six pm without an adult alex.

636
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 3: Yet the left will tell you that this is undemocratic.

637
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 17: You and you know, I see them constantly arguing. During

638
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 17: COVID every person on the left want to wear a mask.

639
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 17: But now in DC, which is obviously a traditionally liberal place,

640
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 17: now you can't go.

641
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 13: Into a store wearing a mask because they think you're

642
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 13: going to rob the place.

643
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 17: So maybe that's why they're mad, because they can't wear

644
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 17: their COVID masks are around.

645
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 13: So this is a serious problem.

646
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 17: That's why you can't take a big backpack into a

647
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 17: store because people are stuffing it with junk and you know,

648
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 17: running out of the store. So I think the left

649
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 17: are these crazy, looney leftists that actually are cheering for crime,

650
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,959
Speaker 17: that don't want Donald Trump to make it safer.

651
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 13: They've really lost the plot.

652
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 17: And I don't think they are really in tune with

653
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 17: the you know, the struggles of other Americans that we

654
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 17: go through every day.

655
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 3: No, that live in some sort of weird, delusional realm.

656
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 4: It's crazy. Now. Look, the President has lashed out at.

657
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 3: Former speaker Nancy Pelosi, posting on Truth socially said crooked

658
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:09,240
Speaker 3: Nancy Pelosi and her very interesting husband beat every hedge fund.

659
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 4: In twenty twenty four.

660
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 3: In other words, these two very average minds beat all

661
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 3: of the super geniuses on Wall Street, thousands of them.

662
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:22,280
Speaker 3: It's all inside information. Nancy Pelosi, of course, is denying

663
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 3: all these accusations of insider trading. But here was her

664
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 3: reaction when CNN brought it up.

665
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:28,240
Speaker 4: Dragged interview.

666
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 8: So Nancy Pelosi.

667
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 11: Became rich, I might have to read that we're here

668
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 11: to talk about the sixtieth anniversary of Medicaid.

669
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 8: That's what I agreed to.

670
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 2: Come to try.

671
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, but I wanted it.

672
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 13: That means in the election, I wanted to give you

673
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 13: a chances to respond.

674
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 8: He accused you of insider trading.

675
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 13: What's your response to that. That's very ridiculous.

676
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 3: Oh, dear Alex, it was a no comment. Didn't want

677
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 3: to talk about it from Nancy it's a no, what

678
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 3: do you make of this?

679
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 17: Well, she looked guilty as can be, and then in

680
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 17: that clip right after she blames it on her husband.

681
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 17: I mean, it's impossible that she is a better stock

682
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 17: trader than all of the hedge funds.

683
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 13: On Wall Street. I mean, it's mathematically impossible. So it's

684
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 13: obvious that she is.

685
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 17: In in meetings and getting information that companies are getting

686
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:12,760
Speaker 17: government deals.

687
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:13,959
Speaker 13: So it doesn't make it.

688
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 17: That difficult for her to actually have this sort of

689
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 17: record when it comes to the stock market picks, because

690
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 17: she has inside information. And when you're making lessan two

691
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 17: hundred thousand dollars and you're worth hundreds of millions of dollars,

692
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 17: it doesn't add up. So I would like it if

693
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 17: we made laws that were more strict when it comes

694
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 17: to politicians and stock trading, because that's the problem is

695
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 17: they get into power and the power. They go in

696
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 17: there with the best intentions, but as soon as they

697
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 17: get power, they get corrupted and they look at every

698
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 17: avenue like stock trading or you know, selling out their

699
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 17: constitution to the military industrial complex.

700
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 13: It doesn't matter.

701
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 17: All these politicians get in with the best intentions and

702
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:50,439
Speaker 17: the power corrupts them all.

703
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're spot on, And I feel like she just

704
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 3: made it completely worse by trying to deflect, by trying

705
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 3: to dock and wave. If you really would not guilty,

706
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 3: why couldn't you just make a comment when asked about

707
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,720
Speaker 3: it and just be up front. But she made herself

708
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 3: look even more ridiculous, So the joke is really on

709
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 3: her now. US Vice President jd Vance wants Elon Musk

710
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 3: to return to the White House, suggesting it was a

711
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 3: mistake for Musk to distance himself from the US President

712
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 3: in the first place.

713
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 4: This is a bit of what he said.

714
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 26: My argument to Elon is like, you're not going to

715
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 26: be on the left right even if you wanted to be,

716
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 26: and he doesn't, they're not going to have you back

717
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 26: that she was sealed, and so I really think it's

718
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 26: a mistake for him to try to break from the president.

719
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 8: So my hope is that by the.

720
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 13: Time of the midterms he's kind of come.

721
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 8: Back in the fall.

722
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 26: But yeah, I don't know that he would take my

723
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:43,240
Speaker 26: call right now about.

724
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:48,720
Speaker 3: Any So, Alex Elon Musk isn't taking jd Vance's calls,

725
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 3: But do you think that he should indeed return to

726
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 3: the White House. I don't know about you, but I

727
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 3: thought the bromance was cute while it lasted.

728
00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 13: I mean, I agree one hundred percent. I love seeing Elon.

729
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 17: Wearing the Maga hat in the White House with his son,

730
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 17: and you know, going back, it almost feels like nostalgia.

731
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 13: It makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.

732
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 17: But what it spiraled into is Epstein allegations and pure

733
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 17: hatred from two billionaires.

734
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 13: So unless they can check their egos, which I.

735
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 17: Think Donald Trump probably could and I think Elon Musk

736
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 17: probably could, so I hope jd Vance can actually potentially minifences.

737
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 13: But in reality, I think these midterms are going to

738
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 13: be very bad.

739
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 17: We're not going to like the outcome, especially after you know,

740
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 17: Donald Trump has done a lot of great things, you know,

741
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 17: during his presidency, but this Epstein has this Epstein stuff

742
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 17: has been an absolute fiasco, and I think it really

743
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 17: could negatively hurt the Conservatives and Republicans in the upcoming midterm.

744
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 17: So jd Vance saying that it's kind of like he's

745
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 17: waving the white flag in a good way.

746
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 13: It's like, listen, he doesn't want to fight with Elon Musk.

747
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 17: You need to team up with Elon Musk because the

748
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 17: left doesn't care about Elon Musk, and at least the right.

749
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 17: You know, he might not align with it one hundred percent,

750
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 17: but ideologically he aligns with the right a lot more

751
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 17: than the alignes to the left. So Elon, you know,

752
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 17: come on back, and Donald Trump will have no hard

753
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,919
Speaker 17: feelings and let's try to make America great again.

754
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 13: As they say, yeah, I agree.

755
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 3: I thought it was great when Elon Musk was out

756
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 3: there with his quirky behavior.

757
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 4: I liked when they were all together.

758
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 3: So yeah, get the band back together, say I agree.

759
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 13: Now.

760
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:16,919
Speaker 8: Look.

761
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 3: Comedian Bill Maher claims left wing censorship died after the

762
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 3: Democrats loss in twenty twenty four, saying he defeated the

763
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 3: saying the defeat rather created.

764
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 4: A vibe change.

765
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 3: Here he was on Drew Barrymore's podcast, have a look

766
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 3: at this.

767
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 27: It's slightly less dangerous than it was two years ago

768
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 27: because we did have a vibe change and because the

769
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 27: Democrats lost so badly in twenty twenty four, the blushes

770
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 27: off the rose on left wing censorship and oh my god,

771
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 27: you can't say that. Stop telling me what I can do.

772
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 4: Well, Alex sobad.

773
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 3: Firstly, Drew Barrymore, she sits so close to everyone does,

774
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 3: and space inviting is frightening. But what do you make

775
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,839
Speaker 3: of Bill Maher's comments there.

776
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 13: Well, I think he is accurate. There was a vibe

777
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 13: shift two years ago. But just the the audacity.

778
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 17: Of Drew Barrymore to try to act like she is

779
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,240
Speaker 17: getting censored by the Trump administration when it was always

780
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 17: the left that constantly canceled people, canceled athletes on Draft

781
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 17: night for tweeting a bad word when they're fifteen years old,

782
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 17: canceled people, got people.

783
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 13: Fired from their jobs for you know, having an emotional outburst.

784
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 17: It was the left that constantly canceled people for speech,

785
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,919
Speaker 17: when her whole job is to talk, and under any

786
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 17: administration she will be able to speak freely, more unor

787
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 17: Donald Trump than any previous administration. So it just shows

788
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 17: you that once again, she's another rich, multi millionaire, great actress.

789
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 13: I'll give her that.

790
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 17: Drew Barrymore's a classically you know, well known, famous A

791
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 17: list actress, But she has no idea about politics, and

792
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 17: she has no idea what the everyday average American struggles with.

793
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 17: So you know, that just shows you she's worried about

794
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,399
Speaker 17: the vibe shift. Now, well, this is the only time

795
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 17: in my lifetime where I've been able to speak freely

796
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 17: and not worried about constantly getting canceled.

797
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, a good point before we let you go.

798
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 3: I mean, what do you make if you've got Bill

799
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:15,280
Speaker 3: Maher coming out saying this? Yesterday, Jimmy Kimmels was critical

800
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 3: of the Democrats. We're talking lefties, Democrat voters who were

801
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 3: so hateful and spiteful towards Donald Trump now suddenly having

802
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 3: some sort of come to Jesus moment.

803
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 8: What do you reckon?

804
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 13: Well, you know it is that come to Jesus moment.

805
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 17: I like that description because they're realizing that most people

806
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 17: aren't on the far right, most people aren't on the

807
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,839
Speaker 17: far left. Most people are somewhere in the middle. And

808
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 17: we want to be able to speak freely and we

809
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 17: don't want to cancel people. And I think you know,

810
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 17: South Park right now has been going after Trump, but

811
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 17: they're getting great ratings, and the right we don't care

812
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 17: when they make fun of Donald Trump. You know, we're

813
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,879
Speaker 17: not as sensitive as a left. And I think comedians

814
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 17: like Colbert and Jimmy kimmeler are seeing that, Hey, you know,

815
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 17: they actually have a sense of humor on the rate.

816
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 17: Maybe we should actually change our content to appeal to

817
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 17: all Americans and not just half of the country. And

818
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 17: that's why Stephen Colbert's show is gone, That's why Howard

819
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 17: Sterns show is going to be gone. It's because they

820
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 17: only appeal to half of the American population instead of

821
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 17: trying to appeal to everyone. So I think this is

822
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 17: a big wake up call and the vibe is shifting

823
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 17: and people are allowed to speak more freely and unapologetically

824
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 17: in America and twenty twenty five.

825
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 3: Well, it is about time. Seriously, Alex Side, great to

832
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 4: or join me next, welcome back.

833
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 3: Well, Donald Trump has decided to extend China's tariff deadline

834
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 3: for another ninety days.

835
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 4: Hours before a trade truce.

836
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 3: Between Washington and Beijing was due to expire. Joining me

837
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 3: now for more on This is Guy and US contributor

838
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 3: Koshagada kosher. It's lovely to see you again. Thank you

839
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 3: for joining me. Look, the US and China, they've gone

840
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,320
Speaker 3: tip for tat on tariffs before.

841
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 4: How do you see this playing out?

842
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 3: And is it gearing up to the anticipation that there

843
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 3: might be a meeting soon between the two leaders.

844
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 25: All indications seem to be suggesting that. I think the

845
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 25: extension is interesting because it does show that while President

846
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 25: Trump is not afraid to wield the political mate of

847
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 25: the US economy, he does want to deal. He understands

848
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 25: that there are negative consequences to having this war with

849
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 25: China keep escalating. So I think that's interesting, and I'm

850
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 25: sure the other side, President She feels the same. So

851
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,800
Speaker 25: hopefully we're getting there. I think the bottom line is, though,

852
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 25: the fundamentals are going to change a little bit from

853
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 25: what it's been for the last forty fifty years, so

854
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 25: it's certainly not going to be a returned to the past.

855
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 25: There is going to be more pressure and more of

856
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 25: this reciprocity concept on China, but hopefully we're getting close

857
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 25: to some kind of deal that the world can get

858
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 25: its heat around.

859
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:52,439
Speaker 8: Well.

860
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 3: Look, fingers crossed, because they're two big trading nations, for

861
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 3: the world.

862
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:57,800
Speaker 4: So let's see what happens.

863
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 3: Let's move on European leaders demanding Donald Trump tell Vladimir

864
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 3: Putin that Ukraine's interests must be defended and Europe's security

865
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 3: mustn't be compromised. When the pair meet later this week

866
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 3: for that very important, highly anticipated peace summit at Kosher,

867
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 3: how much is the EU blocks cooperation as well as

868
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 3: the UK is actually crucial to safeguarding American interests in Ukraine?

869
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,479
Speaker 4: Does there need to be a level of given take

870
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 4: somewhere here?

871
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 25: This one is interesting because there is the Russia Ukraine Agreement,

872
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 25: and that's kind of the core of this meeting, but

873
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 25: there is so much more to it as well, the

874
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 25: fact that it's happening in Alaska, which has historical significance

875
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 25: both for Russia and the US. They might be discussing shipping,

876
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 25: leans and energy and an off ramp for Russia away

877
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 25: from this escalatory situation. So there's a lot that I

878
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 25: think Trump and the Trump administration is working on that

879
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 25: includes but extends beyond the Ukraine conflict. So when you

880
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 25: look at it through that context, the Europeans kind of

881
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 25: get boxed out a little bit. I think there are

882
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 25: I'm sure a call is taking place behind the scenes.

883
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 25: Present trumpunders stands what they want, what their position is.

884
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 25: But he is America first, and insofar as Europe's interests

885
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,760
Speaker 25: fit in his America First framework, greet, when they're diverged,

886
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,800
Speaker 25: he will be America first. And if that means Europe

887
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,240
Speaker 25: having to swallow some medicine that maybe they weren't expecting

888
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 25: or won't like to swallow, They're probably going't have to.

889
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 3: They're probably going to have to. Well, yeah, look, I

890
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 3: think all eyes will be on that meeting. It's D Day.

891
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,800
Speaker 3: It's D Day for both Russia and Ukraine. So let's

892
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 3: see what happens. I want to move on to Palestine now.

893
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 3: My colleague James Morrow has pointed out in the Daily

894
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 3: Telegraph today that Anthony Albernesi's decision to recognize a Palestinian

895
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 3: state is more evidence that Labor is tilting Australia's foreign

896
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,320
Speaker 3: policy towards the EU and away from the US, even

897
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 3: as our need for a strong American alliance is greatest.

898
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 4: Koha, do you think this is the case.

899
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 3: I mean, Albot can't even get a meeting with Donald

900
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 3: Trump at the moment, but do you think that This

901
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 3: is indeed part of a bigger policy shift.

902
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 25: It seems like it. It's inn one hundred and forty

903
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 25: countries or so that have either signed on to this

904
00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 25: two state solution or indicating that there will more and

905
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 25: more out there, kind of on a limb by themselves,

906
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 25: obviously the strongest ally over here, where the current administration

907
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 25: does not support that. They kind of dismiss this thing

908
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 25: is highly symbolic in nature, which is true. It's more

909
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 25: just a statement, but symbolism does have value. Things can

910
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 25: be undone with future administrations. The US has evolved its

911
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 25: position on this under the Clinton Bush Here's Obama Biden.

912
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 25: They were more favorable to the two state solutions. So

913
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 25: this is really the Trump administration has veered away from

914
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 25: that and thinks it's prohibitive to getting some kind of

915
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 25: peace given the current context over there.

916
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 4: But it is interesting.

917
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 8: I think the big.

918
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 25: Picture is showing that the mood of the world and

919
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 25: many countries is shifting more into that realm. Whether we

920
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 25: like it or not, that is happening, and so Primate

921
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 25: Astablan easy is taking stock of that whole dynamic doing

922
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 25: what he thinks he's going to do. There might be

923
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 25: consequences to it, because he is breaking from the US

924
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 25: strongest ally, and we shall see where the story ends.

925
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:55,879
Speaker 3: I mean, this is all happening at the UN General

926
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 3: Assembly next month, but doesn't the America have the right

927
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 3: to veto have veto power, So realistically it's probably gonna

928
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 3: veto it anyway.

929
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 25: Right, So this is all Hans his secretary Rubia's point

930
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 25: that this is all symbolic and you can sort of,

931
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 25: I think you're called it a publicity stunt that you

932
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 25: can put statements out there, but it doesn't really mean

933
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 25: anything other than people signaling that the mood of the

934
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 25: electorates and these countries probably are pushing them towards something

935
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 25: that was not the policy historically and that we have

936
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 25: to take that for what it is.

937
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's a symbolic gesture, but it means so

938
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 3: much more deep down, and you know, it's not great

939
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 3: for the Jewish community here either.

940
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 4: Look, let's move on.

941
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 3: A pro Palestinian group has vowed to take its fight

942
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 3: to shut down Brisbane story Bridge for a mass protest

943
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 3: to court if needed after police flag security and safety concerns.

944
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,760
Speaker 3: Justice for Palestine has also begun preparations for the major

945
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 3: rally despite not yet getting the green light.

946
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 8: Koscha.

947
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 3: We saw this weeks ago here in Sydney. The protesters

948
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 3: didn't get the green light.

949
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:53,959
Speaker 4: They took it to court.

950
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,760
Speaker 3: They won at the eleventh hour, hijacked the Harbor Bridge.

951
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 3: You know, the terror flags were being waved. It was

952
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 3: an embarrassed The pictures went worldwide. Now these protest is

953
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,240
Speaker 3: now more and more emboldened because we saw the steps

954
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 3: of the Cydney Opera House, the Harbor Bridge, now the

955
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 3: story Bridge in Brisbane.

956
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:11,320
Speaker 4: It's a weakly thing now.

957
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 25: They are I think the precedent of Sydney and with

958
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 25: a High Court there did is obviously something that they

959
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,319
Speaker 25: are looking at and they're I'm sure we're going to

960
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 25: do the same thing in Queensland and will see each

961
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 25: court is different. But it's striking to the heart of

962
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 25: taking advantage of the laws in free countries like Australia

963
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 25: that do protect the right to peaceful assembly, but they're

964
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 25: using it for a cause that not everybody's sympathetic to.

965
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 25: There are people who are sympathetic to it, but when

966
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:39,240
Speaker 25: you block traffic and take over iconic landmarks for something,

967
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 25: they're not exactly the most sympathetic figures even if people

968
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 25: have sympathy for the humanitarian crisis and things like that

969
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 25: over there. So it is interesting. I think it's an

970
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 25: example of multiculturalism. You import a lot of people with

971
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 25: different allegiances and values into the country and then you've

972
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 25: got sort of these laws that protect protests, peaceful protests

973
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 25: as they should.

974
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 4: Those are good laws to have.

975
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 25: You are going to see them use to their advantage.

976
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 25: And the Sydney President I think just is a blueprint.

977
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 25: So I do think we're going to see it more

978
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 25: and more everywhere.

979
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, which is a shame.

980
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 3: And again just it's a terrible precedent. And just the

981
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 3: Australian Jewish community right now and just tearing their hair out.

982
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 13: Now.

983
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 4: Look, this is interesting seeing and.

984
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 3: Is reporting that Google searches for Epstein are down eighty

985
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 3: nine percent from just three weeks ago.

986
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 4: Have a look at this.

987
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 7: I would say that this is from at least a

988
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 7: political point of view, quickly turning into a dud of

989
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 7: a story.

990
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 2: What am I talking about?

991
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 4: Which is wild?

992
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:32,880
Speaker 2: Which is wild?

993
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 4: Which is this has been for three weeks exactly?

994
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 2: Take a look here.

995
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 20: Google searches for Epstein down eighty nine percent versus just

996
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 20: three weeks ago, falling through the floor, a dout of a.

997
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 3: Story now kosher, they say, see it in a shock

998
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,359
Speaker 3: that they can barely contain their shock right now.

999
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 4: But what do you put it down to?

1000
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 25: They say, a week is a lifetime in politics, and

1001
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 25: maybe we're seeing that. There's so much coming out of

1002
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 25: this administration. They call it the flood, the Zone strategy,

1003
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 25: just news and every we just talked about right now

1004
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 25: in this segment, and then one hundred things on top

1005
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 25: of that. So there's just so much going on that

1006
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 25: when you're trying to save the world and the world

1007
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 25: is on fire, so to speak, a story does eventually diminish.

1008
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,839
Speaker 25: It is interesting, though, because the Epstein story is about

1009
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,399
Speaker 25: so much more than just Epstein, the character. It really

1010
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 25: goes down to transparency and the government, the perception that

1011
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 25: the government covers things up or protects powerful people, and

1012
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,800
Speaker 25: all of that that I think remains a very potent

1013
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 25: strain in the electorate. A lot of people are very

1014
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 25: angry about that in all sorts of contexts, from the

1015
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,359
Speaker 25: way COVID was handled to all sorts of other things,

1016
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:34,759
Speaker 25: and this kind of symbolizes that.

1017
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 4: But I think the.

1018
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,839
Speaker 25: Story itself, we have bigger fish to fry is what

1019
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 25: this pole is saying. And it is interesting that the

1020
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 25: Google search results are down.

1021
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 4: That surprised me. It's incredible.

1022
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,840
Speaker 3: Well you know what it comes and swings and roundabouts

1023
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 3: that us so we'll say. I'm sure at some point

1024
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 3: it'll emerge that news cycle. Kochhagarta, lovely to say you

1025
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 3: thanks so much for Johnny va as a show this evening.

1026
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:59,360
Speaker 4: Really appreciate it. Well that is from me. Up next

1027
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 4: is news not it's good nights
