A more practical approach 34 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 2: should focus on actions to ensure our eco economy and workers' 35 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 2: lives are not impacted.

They don't 41 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 2: seem to be prepared at all for any sort of 42 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 2: disruption in the fuel supply that's right. 43 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 5: I mean, you really want to firm government in times 44 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 5: of uncertainty. And Chris Bowen coming out and saying on 45 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 5: the weekend, well, maybe work from home is a good thing. Well, 46 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 5: it sort of brings in the question do we have 47 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 5: a crisis? And how big is that crisis? They don't 48 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 5: seem to be managing certainly the pr of it very well. 49 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 5: And people like Chris Lucas, I mean here is one 50 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 5: of the strongest voices during the lockdowns back in COVID 51 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 5: against Dan Andrews. I listened to people like Chris Lucas. 52 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 5: They know what they're talking about. They understand the economics 53 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 5: of these things in a way that Chris Bowen certainly 54 00:02:58,800 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 5: doesn't seem to at the moment. 55 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 2: And Colleen, people like Chris Lucas have skin in the game. 56 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 2: They actually employ people, they run businesses, and they can 57 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 2: see the impact of these policies. 58 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 3: I know there's business leaders. 59 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 2: I've spoken to many, many business leaders who are shying 60 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 2: away from investing in Victoria because of our work from 61 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 2: home laws that are going to be enshrined. 62 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 6: Yeah. 63 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 7: Correct, And look, the government has no place to tell 64 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 7: business to encourage their employees to work from home. It's 65 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 7: just what they should be concentrating is on the supply 66 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 7: chain issues and making sure that now and in the 67 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 7: future we have energy sovereignty and fuel sovereignty and all 68 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 7: those things that the government can do. It is not 69 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 7: their place to stick their finger in a local business. 70 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 7: Some of these businesses are only just recovering after COVID. Yeah, 71 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 7: because of the work from home scenario. Families are already 72 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 7: under stressed dealing with the whole range of cost of 73 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 7: living issues. 74 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 8: People do not need to be told, oh, it'll be 75 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 8: fine to stay at home, to. 76 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 3: Stay at home, Yeah, what's that? 77 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 2: Is really almost a comical response to the crisis we 78 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 2: find ourselves in. You mentioned the cost of living crisis. 79 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 2: That's about to get worse another wave of skyrocketing bills, 80 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 2: with interest rates, power bills, and health insurance premiums all 81 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 2: set to jump next week. 82 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 3: New data from compare Club shows. 83 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 2: The average household faces more than two thousand dollars in 84 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 2: extra annual costs from April one. Patrick, This cost of 85 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 2: living crisis is only getting worse. We were expecting during 86 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 2: that last election consecutive interest rate drops. We're going to 87 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 2: get some relief from. 88 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 3: That that's right, it's gone the other way. Plus we've 89 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 3: got all these additional costs, and. 90 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 5: We're looking at potentially four dollars a later for petrol 91 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 5: and feel I think that two thousand dollars is probably 92 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 5: at the leaning end of where it might end up being, 93 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 5: depending on where the war goes and for how long 94 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 5: it plays out for It's going to be a really 95 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 5: tricky time. And that's be because we came into when 96 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 5: the start of the war in a perilous position. When 97 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 5: it came to we have low productivity, we've got rising inflation, 98 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 5: we've got interest rates going up. 99 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: It is a perfect storm. 100 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 2: And we are completely dependent on foreign oil. That is 101 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 2: the shameful thing here, and that's something that's happened over 102 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 2: decades of bad policies, But on this particular set of 103 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 2: bills that are about to increase April one, Colleen, I 104 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 2: wonder how many people are going to drop their health 105 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 2: insurance because that's set to jump, and that's just going 106 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 2: to put extra pressure on the public system. 107 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 7: It's one of the first things that go when people 108 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 7: are under financial pressure. 109 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 8: The other thing tonight. 110 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 7: Here to a point that you just made earlier about 111 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 7: the cost of doing business in Victoria, and how many 112 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 7: businesses will actually pursue their infrastructure here and whether it's 113 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 7: just easier not to do it into state. There was 114 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 7: a survey that came out the other day that said 115 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 7: a third of Victorians. 116 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 8: Are thinking of leaving. I mean, this is all very 117 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 8: serious warning signs for what's going to happen. 118 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 7: If people can't put food on the table because of 119 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 7: the way that our state is being rung, they're very 120 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 7: likely to look elsewhere. Businesses will find it much easier 121 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 7: to deal with doing business interstate. These are all warnings 122 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 7: about what's coming up for the next twelve, two years, 123 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 7: three years. 124 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 3: Patrick. 125 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 2: That data was in the Herald Sun yesterday. I want 126 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 2: to say it even shocked me to have I think 127 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 2: it was thirty six percent of Victorians, and we're talking 128 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 2: about across metro and regional areas, young and old Victorians 129 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 2: saying they are wanting to move. I mean that's a 130 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 2: drastic move, pulling up and moving into state or to 131 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 2: another country. 132 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 3: That's not something you consider lightly. 133 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 5: Older Victorians have seen good times in Victoria through the nineties. 134 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 5: We came off a recession that came good through the 135 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 5: two thousands. Victoria was a happening place. It was a 136 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,799 Speaker 5: good place to be. It felt like it was dynamic 137 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 5: and growing. And you have that counterpoint now where everything 138 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 5: seems to be shrinking, everything seems to be harder. The 139 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 5: government doesn't have a clue what it's doing. It's incompetent 140 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 5: on so many levels. It's not a happy place to be. 141 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 5: It doesn't feel like it's progressive, does it No? 142 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 2: And we've been demoralized by just little cuts as well. 143 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 2: We lost the Grand Prix down in Philip Island. There's 144 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 2: now talk today that the avalon air show may also 145 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 2: be stolen by South Australia. 146 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 3: And these are just little cuts. That's reminiscent by a 147 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 3: thousand cuts. That's it. 148 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 2: It reminds me of those Cane Kerner years where we 149 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 2: really were in a lot of trouble. Perhaps we're in 150 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 2: more trouble now. We're certainly in a lot more debt now. 151 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 2: Tens of thousands of Victorian teachers more good news coming up. 152 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 2: Tens of thousands of Victorian teachers have walked out of 153 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 2: the classrooms in their first strike in over a decade. 154 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 2: Parents received mixed messages on Monday afternoon as school's advice 155 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 2: families to keep their children at home while the government 156 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 2: and insisted it had the workforce to keep schools open. 157 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 2: Most schools today operated in a supervisory capacity only, Patrick. 158 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 2: The teachers Union is pushing for a thirty five percent 159 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 2: pay increase and improved work conditions. I mean, I know 160 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 2: there are amber claims, but goodness me, they are pushing 161 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 2: for some extraordinary increases here. 162 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 5: Look, I think surprisingly Having said that, I agree it 163 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 5: sounds extraordinary that amount of a pay rise, but Victorian 164 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 5: teachers are the lowest paid in Australia. There is some 165 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 5: sympathy for them, and there's a lot of antipathy towards 166 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 5: the Allen government of this and so many other things. 167 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 5: It'll be interesting, I say, this is just another symbol 168 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 5: of an incompetent government. Really, I mean they've been negotiating. 169 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 5: I mean, there're are negotiations with nurses and police officers and. 170 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: So on all the time. 171 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 5: The fact that it's actually got to the point of 172 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 5: a strike, it's just another sort of black mark against 173 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 5: the competency of this governm Life Colleen. 174 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 2: They have been offered a what I would consider a 175 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 2: pretty significant jump in earnings already, but this is going 176 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 2: to be at first what our striking first time in 177 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 2: ten years and it is an election here. 178 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 3: If you're going to strike, it's the time to do it. 179 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 7: Look, I have a slightly different view. We all want 180 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 7: teachers to be paid well. Patrick's right that the Victorian 181 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 7: teachers are the lowest paid in the country. We do 182 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 7: want them to be paid well for doing a good job, 183 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 7: but there is another question mark here about return on investment. 184 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 7: Ten years ago, teachers at our student ratio was about 185 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 7: eleven thousand dollars per student in a state budget. It's 186 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 7: now at twenty one thousand dollars per student and we're 187 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 7: not getting the results for that. About a third of 188 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 7: our students are failing to meet minimum standards. So I'm 189 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 7: all for paying teacher as well. They have an incredibly 190 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 7: important job. But I also want to see a focus 191 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 7: on their core purpose, and that's to actual that our 192 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 7: kids can read and write and become independent citizens themselves, 193 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 7: and that's the gap that we have. I also am 194 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 7: not a big fan of the Australian Education Union who's 195 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 7: running this, because they sort of seem to be much 196 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 7: more focused on classroom activism than they are on actually 197 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 7: making sure that the kids can read and write. So 198 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 7: we want the teachers to be paid well, but I 199 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 7: want them to be able to do their job. 200 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 2: Colleen, what you identify is a nationwide issue. Hour spent 201 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 2: on education has gone up across the country and yet 202 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 2: the results are going backwards. But Patrick, interestingly, the responsible 203 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,839 Speaker 2: minister here in Victoria, maybe our next premiere and had 204 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 2: more polling out today showing Justiner Allen is hugely unpopular 205 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 2: and perhaps with Ben Carroll in the top job, they 206 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 2: could be re elected Labor. 207 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 5: Look, Ben Carroll's a bit more right. He's not as 208 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 5: ideologically jealous, if you like. He occasionally makes common sense 209 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 5: sort of statements that are odds with the Allen government line. 210 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 5: I think he'd be far more palatable as a leader 211 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 5: than Justintera Allen. But there are so many dynamics in 212 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 5: play at the moment. You've got one nation in South Australia, 213 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 5: one nation in Victoria, he said, the Liberal Party with 214 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 5: Jess Wilson. The Liberals have been messing it up for 215 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 5: a decade or longer. They're finally starting to get it right. 216 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 5: There are so many factors in play here, it's very 217 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 5: difficult to predict what. 218 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you mentioned One Nation and Pauline Hanson has 219 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 2: revealed her policy focus as the party prepares for its 220 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 2: membership base to exceed fifty thousand people. Hanson has promised 221 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 2: to replace large scale renewable projects with coal and nuclear 222 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 2: and delivered tax incentives to help protect the family units. 223 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 3: She has also. 224 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 2: Pledged to abolish the Department of Climate Change, telling the 225 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 2: Australian newspaper, there's unknown quantity of moneies that have gone 226 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 2: into this bottomless plot that has the that the government's 227 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 2: been thrown into to keep the renewables viable. 228 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 3: Colleen. She also said she's heading to Victoria. 229 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 2: What impact will the party have in the Victorian state 230 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 2: election coming up in November. 231 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 7: Look, I think that the One Nation impact will be 232 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 7: quite significant. What we've seen in South Australia is large swings, 233 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 7: I mean swings of somewhere in thirty percent in some 234 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 7: of those seats, and even in very safe labor seats. 235 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 7: Melan Orcus's own seat had about a nine percent swing 236 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 7: against him. So Victoria, and you know, the wording here 237 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 7: is that Victoria is very different to South Australia, which 238 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 7: you know, sure it is. We have a very unpopular premiere, 239 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 7: but that actually makes one nation more palatable in my view, 240 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 7: because the frustration in Victoria is that the Coalition haven't 241 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 7: been seen to be doing anything and providing an opposition. 242 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:45,359 Speaker 7: So one nation stepping up with very strong, clear, steadfast 243 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 7: policies is what Victorians have been wanting for a long time. 244 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 7: So I think the challenge for the Coalition is to 245 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 7: claw back relevancy. 246 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 2: And I've long said if Victoria wants to be an 247 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 2: economic powerhouse again, if you want to pay back the 248 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,959 Speaker 2: massive debt, the biggest in the country, then we've got 249 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 2: to look at gas exploration. We've got to really capitalize 250 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 2: on the natural resources we have in this state. Patrick 251 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 2: and the Libs don't talk about that at all, and 252 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 2: they don't talk about having any sort of alliance a 253 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 2: preference still with one nation. In fact, they've come out 254 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 2: and rejected that again at state level. 255 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 5: Yes, looks you'll hear this a lot this year. You'll 256 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 5: hear the Libs come out and say a vote for 257 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 5: one Nation will be a vote for labor. And I 258 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 5: think I agree with everything you just said there, calling, 259 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 5: But I think if Ja Cinra Allen goes to the 260 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 5: election or this government, whether it's her or not, goes 261 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 5: to this election, there is a really strong desire to 262 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 5: get them out of government. How one nation plays into 263 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 5: that is fascinating and it will keep on changing through 264 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,839 Speaker 5: the year. In South Australia it was a much more 265 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 5: simple sort of dynamic. No one thought that Melanauskus was 266 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 5: going to be unelected. In Victoria, we really are. You know, 267 00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 5: we have a government that has a huge number of 268 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 5: seeds in the Parliament to be dislodged, which a lot 269 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 5: of people want. Will take a massive push that's going 270 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 5: to be sort of got to be coherent from the 271 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 5: conservative side of politics. 272 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 2: I just think this current strategy is foolhardy from the Liberals. 273 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 2: You look at the polls even here in Victoria. While 274 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 2: Nation are often outpolling the Liberals, they can't afford to 275 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 2: just treat them as the red. 276 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 3: Head, stop child, that is to be just dismissed. And yeah, 277 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 3: they're not the enemy. 278 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 2: That their policy positions are far more in line with 279 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 2: traditional liberal values than some would argue the modern liberal parties. 280 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 7: Yeah, and I think there's a real danger here. I've 281 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 7: seen a Liberal MP yesterday mate comment about how they're 282 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 7: concerned about the voter doesn't really understand what they're doing. 283 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 8: You never tell the punter that they what they're doing correct. 284 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 7: And I think part of this component is that the 285 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 7: liberals have to, as I said, find relevancy and what 286 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 7: is their purpose with integrity because they've had opportunity that 287 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 7: squandered and so telling one nation people that you don't 288 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 7: know what you're doing and you need to know stick 289 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 7: with us because we know better than you is very problematic, 290 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 7: particularly to the one nation voter. 291 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 2: It is it's patronizing and it's really Australians don't react 292 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 2: well to that. And I would say that people who 293 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 2: are looking at casting their vote for one nation for 294 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 2: the first time are fairly politically engaged. 295 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 3: They're not doing that out of nowhere. 296 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 2: They're doing that because there are paid attention and they're 297 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 2: not happy with the major parties. Now, before you go, Patrick, 298 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 2: I want to get your reaction to this column in 299 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 2: the Sydney Morning Herald with the headline Multiculturalism is booming 300 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 2: in the NRL while the AFL. 301 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 3: Is getting whiter. 302 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 2: The Peace states that in the NRL, fifty one percent 303 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 2: of the playing population is PACIFICA or mary and a 304 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 2: further twelve percent is indigenous. Meanwhile, in the AFL, about 305 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 2: fourteen percent of the league is have parents born overseas 306 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 2: or were oversees themselves, and only seven and a half 307 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 2: percent are Indigenous, which is a twenty year low. And 308 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 2: Patrick neil Breen also writes the question for the AFL 309 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 2: is why are clubs shying away from highly talented Indigenous 310 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 2: players and instead targeting ready made private school kids. Incredibly 311 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 2: a little more than seventy percent of all AFL players 312 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 2: were privately educated, Patrick, I would think there's some fairly 313 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 2: obvious reasons for that, including that boys are good at football, 314 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 2: tend to get scholarships to private schools, and hence they're 315 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 2: the ones who are recruited. 316 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 3: But how do you see this issue? 317 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 2: I mean, in all those figures stated for both the 318 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 2: NRL and the AFL, there's an overrepresentation of Indigenous players 319 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:42,239 Speaker 2: compared to the population. 320 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 3: So I really can't. 321 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,119 Speaker 2: See what the issue he is and what the obsession 322 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 2: with the color of the players is. 323 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 5: Well, look, Indigenous players have made the AFL go around 324 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 5: for generations. They are being shut out of this private 325 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 5: school industry that really has veryvery professional and very mobilized 326 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 5: now in such a way that any kid with any 327 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 5: talent from the bush or wherever gets dragged to Xavia 328 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 5: College or wherever on a scholarship. It makes the school 329 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 5: look good and it becomes the pathway, the preferred pathway, 330 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 5: because they get a good education. 331 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 1: It's good for them. 332 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 2: They getting used to city living and then the pressure 333 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 2: of up training and football. 334 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,919 Speaker 5: And the group that suffers for that are those Indigenous 335 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 5: players who don't get scholarships, who are very, very talented, 336 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 5: probably need a lot more help in terms of live 337 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 5: skills and the pressures and all the rest. This system, 338 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 5: this private school system, has really just taken over the AFL. 339 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 2: And I would also argue the AFL's obsession with race 340 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 2: and some of the issues we've had have actually been 341 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,360 Speaker 2: hugely counterproductive for Indigenous players who are looking to be recruited. 342 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 2: An URL doesn't seem to have those sorts of obsessions. 343 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 2: Patrick Carlin and Colleen Harken, thank you so much for 344 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 2: your time, pleasure. We spoke yesterday about the orange wave 345 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 2: that swept through South Australia over the weekend. Pauline Hansen's 346 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 2: One Nation recorded a primary vote of over twenty. 347 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 3: Percent at the state election. 348 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 2: The party has so far won two seats in the 349 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 2: Lower House and is in the running for three more seats. 350 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 2: Joining me now for his reaction is One Nation MP Barnaby, 351 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 2: Joyce Barnaby. It's an incredible result. He has sent shockwaves 352 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 2: through coalition ranks and Labor but without a working coalition 353 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 2: or preference still on the right. Are you just not 354 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 2: guaranteeing power for the Labor Party. 355 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 9: No, it's a political marketplace out there, reader, and obviously 356 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 9: the Liberal Party is not the product that they want 357 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,719 Speaker 9: to buy. It's quite self evident that One Nation had 358 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 9: a higher vote than the Liberal Party, and that also 359 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 9: dispels the myth of people saying, well, one nation split 360 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 9: the Liberal Party vote. It's now apparent that the Liberal 361 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 9: Party vote split One Nation vote, so maybe they should 362 00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 9: get out of the way. 363 00:18:58,720 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: And give it to the true concern. 364 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 9: Ultimately, people make a decision at the at the ballot box. 365 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 9: They make a decision and are considered decision. If they've 366 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 9: changed one nation, they haven't done it because they it 367 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 9: you know, their surname rhymes with one Nation or something 368 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 9: like that. It's it's had a look at what's available 369 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 9: and they've decided that the proper reflection of conservative politics 370 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 9: is seen in one nation because it's clarity, it's unity, 371 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 9: its strength, it's it's not embarrassed about the conservative side. 372 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: Of it, of its views. 373 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,199 Speaker 9: It's not chasing the sensible center. It's not wanting to 374 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 9: win back keel seats. It just has a clear silo 375 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 9: of its beliefs in Australian culture, rather than a multicultural 376 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 9: Australia that has guardrails and has expectations that people live 377 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 9: and act in a certain way that respects the rights 378 00:19:55,359 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 9: of others. It also believes that the climate bogus industry 379 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 9: that has corrupted our energy grid and now created exacerbated 380 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 9: the problems in what we have with the fuel crisis 381 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 9: is just a carpet bagger's dream and should be removed 382 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 9: from the political dynamic in Australia, and that those savings 383 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 9: should be banked. It believes in building coal fire powerstations. 384 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 9: It believes that people should have a right to stay 385 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 9: at home. They shouldn't be forced to go to work 386 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 9: and have to use child care. If they wish to, 387 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 9: they can, but if they wish to stay at home, 388 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 9: then we should be creating a tax system that allows 389 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 9: people to get a benefit to be at home with 390 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 9: their children and that's just a range of the policies 391 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 9: that we have, and people are attracted to those policies, 392 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 9: so they vote. And that's the wonderful thing about democracy. 393 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 9: People get to vote for what they believe in. Now, 394 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 9: the second party or question regards a coalition agreement. One 395 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 9: nation doesn't want to be in a coalition, But that 396 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 9: doesn't mean that you're not providing someone supply and confidence 397 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 9: if they require it. But quick the rejoinder of that, 398 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 9: of course, is we need supply and confidence. You'll supply 399 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 9: it to us as well, won't you. 400 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 2: Now you've personally come under fire from some in the 401 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 2: media for comments you made for an analogy you use 402 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 2: when talking about immigration. 403 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 10: Criticism is ownly continuing to mount as it calls to 404 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 10: deprioritize Muslim immigration. 405 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 9: I don't want to be tried about it. But it's 406 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 9: a bit like buying cattle. If you're getting cattle in 407 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 9: from a certain from off a certain seller and there's 408 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 9: an unreasonable number of ones that just don't work when 409 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 9: they get off the truck, well you don't buy them anymore. 410 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 10: Comparing Muslims to livestock not racist. According to South Australian teammate. 411 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 9: It's only the lefties, the bleeding heart lefties who don't 412 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 9: want any talk about immigration, that refer to this sort 413 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 9: of stuff as racist. 414 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 2: Barnaby any regrets about that analogy or is this the 415 00:21:54,880 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 2: case of the left just being determined to be offended, the. 416 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 9: Left being determined to be offended in fact, before that, 417 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 9: the part that they don't put on, of course rita 418 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 9: is I said I have no problems whatsoever about people 419 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 9: the Islamic faith coming to Australia, and was never about that. 420 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 9: They made the assumption because it suits their narrative of 421 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 9: you know, insult, harm, you know, drama, calamity. Look, I 422 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 9: don't want people coming from let's pick a place where 423 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 9: this Catholicism, Sinaloa. I think Cinelo, where the Sinela cartels. 424 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 9: I think that's pronunciation is right in Mexico. And even 425 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 9: though you might bring in one hundred people from them, 426 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 9: if there's ten people from the cartel, I'm sorry, we 427 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 9: just don't want any. And of course there are places 428 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 9: where people of the Islamic faith come to Australia no 429 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 9: problems whatsoever whatsoever. But I don't want to go to 430 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 9: the Beka Valley and chance my arm. 431 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: I think that would be foolish. Nor do I want to. 432 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,679 Speaker 9: Go to the Sedan and say, well, look I know 433 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 9: the JANJUITI here, but we'll just take We'll just take potline. 434 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: I can see how we go. 435 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 9: If people come to Australia, just like if cattle come 436 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 9: onto your place, it's a recommendation of where they're coming from. 437 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 9: If you have a disproportionate number who when they arrive 438 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 9: on your property cause you problems, then you just don't 439 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 9: go back to that person and buy more cattle, because 440 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 9: that would be foolish. 441 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 2: I like the analogy, but there were plenty from SBS 442 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 2: and elsewhere who were very offended. But let's move on 443 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 2: to the attacks you're getting on the political fronts. You've 444 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 2: got the Greens, Labor, the Liberals coming for One Nation. 445 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 2: Here is small old Senator Maria kopfchic warning that a 446 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 2: vote for one Nation is a vote for labor. 447 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 3: Let me be. 448 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,959 Speaker 11: Very clear as to the singular outcome of that election 449 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 11: result on Saturday night, and that is that a vote 450 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 11: for One Nation is a vote for a record labor majority. 451 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 11: If you want to labor governments across this country, you need. 452 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 6: To vote live for. 453 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 3: Barnaby what's your response to that? 454 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 9: Oh my god, where do I start with that one? 455 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 9: I'll tell you what here is the Here's a truth 456 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 9: about politics. 457 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: The Labor Party. 458 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 9: Lose because of incompetence, the Coalition lose because of arrogance, 459 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 9: but it helps us. They become arrogant after they've actually 460 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 9: been in government. What that senator is doing is becoming 461 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 9: arrogant even before she's arrived in government. 462 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: The contemptuous position. 463 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 9: That she says, if you dare vote for anybody but 464 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 9: me but me, you're voting for the Labor Party.

I mean, really kosher. That is not 632 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 2: how they would describe a conservative who'd been caught saying 633 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 2: those sorts of words and liking those sorts of tweets. 634 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 2: But how radical is this first couple of New York. 635 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,839 Speaker 16: Also maybe the gifts that keep giving, but different there 636 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 16: because their power is pretty secure, pretty cemented, because it 637 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 16: isn't a surprise. Maybe these particular tweets are surfacing now 638 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,240 Speaker 16: or the art work, but they have not been shy 639 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 16: about how they view all sorts of issues and still 640 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,759 Speaker 16: handily won, including by the Jewish community in New York, 641 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 16: which is a large diaspora, certainly the under forty five 642 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 16: year olds. I mentioned that in particular for obvious reasons, 643 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 16: but also across up and down the electorate, they seem 644 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 16: to be beyond approach. I think with the demographics and 645 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 16: the electorate the way it is today New York City. 646 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 2: It's going to be fascinating to see what happens in 647 00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 2: New York over the next couple of years. We've already 648 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 2: got Peau saying they're selling up, they're leaving, they're not 649 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,720 Speaker 2: going to pay those sorts of property taxes. But remains 650 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 2: to be seen. Now, let's hear from Democrat Ted lou here. 651 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 2: He accuses Donald Trump of. 652 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:13,720 Speaker 3: Rape and murder. 653 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 2: This is astonishing, astonishing stunt, even by Democrat standards. 654 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 17: He met a girl who said she was raped by 655 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,960 Speaker 17: Donald Trump, and Jeffrey Epstein. She later had her head 656 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 17: blown off, and officers at the scene said that could 657 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,840 Speaker 17: not have been suicide. 658 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:31,720 Speaker 3: Kosher. 659 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 2: There have been calls for President Trump to sue the 660 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 2: congressman there, but that's not likely for a very good reason. 661 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:42,919 Speaker 16: Yes, so the speech and debate clause and Congress protects them. 662 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 16: That's an extra layer shield of protection legally, where anything 663 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 16: they says cannot be prosecuted. He has been similar comments 664 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,280 Speaker 16: in a press conference though on February third, similar allegation, 665 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 16: so that would not be protected by that particular shield. However, 666 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 16: even without that, libel laws are very very strict for 667 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,880 Speaker 16: public figures in the US because of the First Amendment. 668 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,839 Speaker 16: It's really really hard to sue a public figure and win, 669 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 16: and I think everybody's aware of that. So I think 670 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 16: it's unlikely Trump goes there. He has been on a 671 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,840 Speaker 16: suing spree with others, but they're all corporate people. So 672 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 16: even if it was George Stephanoplos, it was really EBC 673 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,400 Speaker 16: and Disney where they settle so it doesn't go to trial. 674 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 2: And they said nothing like what we just heard. I mean, 675 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 2: this is on another level. 676 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 16: But Tadlu is unlikely to be somebody who pursues because 677 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 16: he won't get a settlement to the tune of millions 678 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:30,959 Speaker 16: of dollars. 679 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 3: Of millions of dollars exactly. 680 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 2: Now, there's been absolute mayhem at airports across America. This 681 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 2: is largely due to the Democrats refusal to pass legislation 682 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 2: that would ensure some measure of election integrity. TSA agents 683 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 2: are not being paid due to the partial government shutdown 684 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 2: affecting the Department of Homeland Security, and so ICE agents 685 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 2: have had to be called in to restore order. Let's 686 00:36:55,600 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 2: see how that's been working in America's busiest airport in Atlanta. 687 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 18: Finally, we can take a deep breath here. The numbers 688 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,239 Speaker 18: have dropped off. The lines are getting shorter. I think 689 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 18: the average way time now is under forty minutes. So 690 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:10,880 Speaker 18: if you have a flight to catch today, it's a 691 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 18: good time to become a Hartsfield Jackson International. Talking about those 692 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,360 Speaker 18: ICE agents, you can see a few behind me right there, 693 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,359 Speaker 18: and then I'm going to walk you this direction and 694 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 18: you can see some more of them gathered over here. 695 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,320 Speaker 18: This is what they've been doing for the most part today, 696 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 18: is doing the patrols around the airport. Is what we're 697 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,239 Speaker 18: being told is there's a protest schedule against ICE here 698 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 18: at the airport in the next two hours or so. 699 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,160 Speaker 18: So now you have extra police officers from Atlanta Police 700 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 18: Department ready to respond to what may happen when protesters arrive. 701 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,400 Speaker 2: Of course, as soon as order is restored, the leftists 702 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 2: are coming into cause having a can, they're going to 703 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 2: be there protesting ICE, who are actually getting people moving 704 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 2: because those delays, there were so many people showing up 705 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 2: four or five hours early for their flights and still 706 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 2: missing them. 707 00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,240 Speaker 16: And at dayt age of social media, it was crazy, 708 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,239 Speaker 16: like the snake line going all the way out to 709 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:02,840 Speaker 16: the parking lot and everyone around. 710 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:03,839 Speaker 3: The world sees it. 711 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 16: It is funny the substituting ICE in there, because ICE 712 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 16: has been fully funded at least at its current capacity 713 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 16: in the big Beautiful Bill, whereas these other departments are 714 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,399 Speaker 16: caught up in the shutdown fight. And so that would 715 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 16: really be funny if for any federal agency for short 716 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 16: on IRS agents, that's sub in ICE for short on 717 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,280 Speaker 16: the TSA seven ICE, given the immigration problem in the agenda, 718 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,359 Speaker 16: that would really be funny. I'll just make a quick 719 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:29,360 Speaker 16: other broader point though, that the TSA there is a 720 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 16: whole sentiment out there that it should be abolished or 721 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 16: downsized completely. It's a relic of the Patriot Act after 722 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 16: nine to eleven. There isn't evidence that it really is 723 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,000 Speaker 16: doing much to keep things safer. You could privatize it, 724 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 16: you could do it in a different way, and it's 725 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 16: just completely destroyed the experience of flying in America. It's 726 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 16: not the fault of the individual agents not getting paid 727 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 16: right now, but that's a whole other conversation worth unpacking 728 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,279 Speaker 16: at some point now. 729 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 2: House Minority lead at Hakim Jeffries. He is kind that 730 00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 2: the Trump administration's decision to deploy ICE two airports ICE 731 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 2: agents will create chaos and even imply that airline passages 732 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 2: could be killed by these ICE agents. 733 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,399 Speaker 14: The last thing that the American people need are for 734 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,240 Speaker 14: untrained ICE agents to be deployed at airports all across 735 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 14: the country, potentially to brutalize or in some instances, kill them. 736 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 14: We've already seen how ICE conducts itself. 737 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 3: I mean, what can you say to that. 738 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:33,400 Speaker 2: You can tell the media knows precisely who's to blame 739 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 2: for this chaos we've seen at airports across America because 740 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 2: they haven't been keen to highlight it because so many 741 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:44,520 Speaker 2: ordinary people, whatever their politics, have been impacted, and that's 742 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,400 Speaker 2: something you remember perhaps when it's time to vote. 743 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,960 Speaker 16: It is one of those few issues that actually affects you. 744 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,440 Speaker 16: And if you have to weep seven hours and a misterflate, 745 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 16: you probably are going to remember that. On some level, 746 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 16: they're trying to vilify Ice. Obviously we know what happened 747 00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,839 Speaker 16: in Minneapolis, so that does give them a ready meat 748 00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 16: there that they can copy and peace into every situation. 749 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 16: But the intermedion that you're a grandma trying to get 750 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 16: on a flight and your lafers and danger because he 751 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 16: says there, is ridiculous and he knows it. 752 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:11,120 Speaker 3: Now. 753 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 2: More on the communists convoy to Cuba, featuring pampered Western Communis, 754 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:21,440 Speaker 2: including Hassan Piker, who has been accused of throwing food 755 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,839 Speaker 2: at Cuban children. The goal of this whole exercise is 756 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 2: to embarrass the American government, the Trump administration, blaming them 757 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 2: for Cuba's many issues. 758 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:33,360 Speaker 3: But the Cubans. 759 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 2: Themselves are fighting back against this narrative, including this gentleman 760 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 2: who had this message for the leftists. 761 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:41,600 Speaker 6: You rather see, You. 762 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 18: Rather see when people keep suffering, because white, so Donald 763 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:46,720 Speaker 18: Trump doesn't get the credit. 764 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:48,120 Speaker 1: This is not about Donald Trump. 765 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,840 Speaker 18: It's about somebody standing up finally and standing up to 766 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:54,880 Speaker 18: a communist machine, a dictatorship kosher. 767 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:59,400 Speaker 2: He also said the power grid has been cactus for 768 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:03,280 Speaker 2: forty years in Kubat. Decades of communists rule have completely 769 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:08,080 Speaker 2: devastated the country, and he's still got family in Cuba, 770 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 2: and obviously he wants to see it free. I'm just 771 00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:16,880 Speaker 2: shocked that these socialists, Western socialists aren't paying any attention. 772 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,160 Speaker 2: They're not reading the room at all about what Cubans want. 773 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,840 Speaker 2: The fact that more than a million of them have 774 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,799 Speaker 2: fled the country because they don't want to live under 775 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,840 Speaker 2: a communist dictatorship. 776 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,480 Speaker 16: And they are always reliably center rate. Always people who 777 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:34,239 Speaker 16: fled Eastern Europe, people who fled Cuba, understand what the 778 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,960 Speaker 16: logical endpoint is of this sliding skill of having more 779 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,600 Speaker 16: and more authoritarian government, in sliding into that Cuba is 780 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,799 Speaker 16: a poster a child of what that can do. Forty 781 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,680 Speaker 16: years of pure commerce regime. They also relied a lot 782 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:51,239 Speaker 16: on external allies like Russia for oil, Iran Venezuela that's 783 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,400 Speaker 16: drying up for all the reasons we know, which is 784 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,319 Speaker 16: exacerbating that problem, and then the US and argos. So 785 00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,000 Speaker 16: it seems like Cuba is going to fall quote unquote, 786 00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 16: and then we see what the Trump agenda does or 787 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:04,239 Speaker 16: how they handle that, because that is part of their 788 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 16: strategy of hemispheric stability. 789 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,200 Speaker 2: That would be a triumph if they Cuba falls the 790 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,360 Speaker 2: communist dictation to sheep falls without a shot being fired. 791 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,239 Speaker 2: That would be something to celebrate. Koshergator, thank you so 792 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:15,919 Speaker 2: much for your time. 793 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 3: Pleasure still to come. 794 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,680 Speaker 2: We hit the streets of Dallas to learn what Americans 795 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 2: really think of Trump's war against Iran. Alex Stein joins me. Next, 796 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,719 Speaker 2: welcome back. Now, sadly, there's a terrible news from the 797 00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:42,400 Speaker 2: sanctuary city of Chicago, where a young woman, Sheridan Gorman, 798 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,120 Speaker 2: has been killed by an illegal immigrant. Eighteen year old 799 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,840 Speaker 2: Sheridan was a gunned down while taking a walk with 800 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:53,720 Speaker 2: friends along Chicago's lakefront. Now, listen to this leftist member 801 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 2: of the Chicago City Council. Her name is Maria Hadden. 802 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,440 Speaker 2: Listen to what she had to say about this shocking crime. 803 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 2: She all but blames the victim for startling the killer. 804 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,359 Speaker 4: It sounds like this might have been a wrong place, 805 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,439 Speaker 4: wrong time running into a person who had a gun. 806 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,600 Speaker 3: They might have startled this person at the end of 807 00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,000 Speaker 3: the year unintentionally. 808 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 2: Joining me now is the host of After Hours with 809 00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:23,280 Speaker 2: Alex Steine on Real America's Voice. Alex Stein that counselor 810 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:27,440 Speaker 2: Maria Hadden is being slammed for those comments, including by 811 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:31,440 Speaker 2: the grieving family of the young teenage victim. Sheridan Gorman's 812 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:35,759 Speaker 2: family has released a statement referencing Hadden's remarks and said 813 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,360 Speaker 2: the slain college student deserved the future that was stolen 814 00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,840 Speaker 2: from her. They also wrote, what happened to Sheridan cannot 815 00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,279 Speaker 2: be reduced to the idea of someone being in the 816 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:46,760 Speaker 2: wrong place at the wrong time. 817 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,080 Speaker 3: This is not an abstraction. 818 00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,360 Speaker 2: This is the loss of a daughter, the loss of 819 00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,239 Speaker 2: a sister, the loss of a future filled with milestones 820 00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 2: that will now never come. 821 00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 3: Our family is forever change. 822 00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:03,120 Speaker 2: Alex's is just another crime that wouldn't have happened if 823 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:07,879 Speaker 2: the Democrats didn't embrace open borders and didn't have sanctuary 824 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,200 Speaker 2: cities for those in the country illegally. 825 00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:12,400 Speaker 6: No Rita. 826 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,640 Speaker 17: I mean, if you look at the leadership in Chicago, 827 00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:16,880 Speaker 17: it is one of the worst rand cities in the 828 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,040 Speaker 17: entire world. And obviously this is a horrible tragedy. But 829 00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,440 Speaker 17: you know what's even I would argue, almost just as 830 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,880 Speaker 17: big a tragedy is that they're losing the Chicago Bears. 831 00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,520 Speaker 17: And I'm not even saying that to be funny, but 832 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,479 Speaker 17: I'm saying, this is a city that doesn't care about 833 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 17: their citizens so much so that they had a football 834 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:32,560 Speaker 17: franchise that everybody loved, and. 835 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:33,560 Speaker 6: Now they're going to Indiana. 836 00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,719 Speaker 17: And when people get shot, the city council members don't 837 00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:38,120 Speaker 17: care because they literally do. 838 00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:39,960 Speaker 6: Not care about their citizens whatsoever. 839 00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,239 Speaker 17: So there's a laundry list of reasons that just proved 840 00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,880 Speaker 17: my point exactly. And Chicago's a place it used to 841 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:47,960 Speaker 17: be great, and it is not even close to that 842 00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:48,760 Speaker 17: level anymore. 843 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:55,000 Speaker 2: Well, individuals are flaying, businesses are flaying, and sporting clubs 844 00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:55,520 Speaker 2: are flaying. 845 00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:56,720 Speaker 3: From what you've just said. 846 00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:01,359 Speaker 2: Now, you're in Dallas, Seapack is in Dallas. This year, 847 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 2: you've been out and about talking to your fellow Texans 848 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:06,080 Speaker 2: about the war in Iran. 849 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:06,919 Speaker 3: Let's have a look. 850 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:09,560 Speaker 6: What do you think about Donald Trump starting the war 851 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,640 Speaker 6: with Iran? Why did we bomba school? 852 00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:14,040 Speaker 3: Why would you ever do that? 853 00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:15,239 Speaker 1: What? 854 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:20,320 Speaker 11: Who decided that is that you Donald disappointed, He'll go away. 855 00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:21,840 Speaker 3: It's perfect, It's awesome. 856 00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:23,680 Speaker 2: You should have done it in a long time ago said 857 00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,120 Speaker 2: that this doesn't get out of place. Israel should not 858 00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:28,800 Speaker 2: have been attacked, and we're going to stand by Israel 859 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 2: no matter what. 860 00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:31,160 Speaker 13: What do you want to tell Trump? 861 00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:32,000 Speaker 6: He's going to see this. 862 00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,640 Speaker 1: Hey love you Trump, Hey you Trump. 863 00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:39,080 Speaker 18: The file. 864 00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,919 Speaker 3: In American and we still love you, we still support you. 865 00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,120 Speaker 2: Dallas is a little different, isn't it. It's not quite Austin, 866 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,520 Speaker 2: but it's a little different. Tell me about the mood 867 00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:52,879 Speaker 2: on the ground and also what you expect to see 868 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:53,520 Speaker 2: at seapack. 869 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:56,319 Speaker 17: We'll read a seapack is going to be a lot 870 00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:57,719 Speaker 17: of fun, but there's also going to be a lot 871 00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,200 Speaker 17: of drama. I mean, it's obvious right now. A lot 872 00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,160 Speaker 17: of people are upset that we're having this war. A 873 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,000 Speaker 17: lot of people were happy that we're having this war. 874 00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:06,600 Speaker 17: And it's a mixed bag. And luckily here in America, 875 00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:08,920 Speaker 17: our gas prices have been up about forty three percent 876 00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,359 Speaker 17: over the last three weeks, but that can easily go. 877 00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:12,600 Speaker 6: Down if this war ends. 878 00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,440 Speaker 17: I mean, today Trump said that he's negotiating peace talks 879 00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,480 Speaker 17: or a ceasefire, and then the prices went down a 880 00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:17,839 Speaker 17: little bit. 881 00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,320 Speaker 6: So I think everything that's happened can be fixed. 882 00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,680 Speaker 17: But I think as well, we're on a slippery slope 883 00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,400 Speaker 17: where things can get very scary, very fast, and the 884 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,000 Speaker 17: potential for nuclear weapons as possible, So. 885 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 6: Nobody wants that to happen. Everybody wants cheap gas. 886 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,759 Speaker 17: And to be fair, though the gas prices have not 887 00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:35,759 Speaker 17: gotten as high as they were under Biden when the 888 00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,960 Speaker 17: Ukraine War started, so things the wheels have not fallen 889 00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:40,400 Speaker 17: off yet by any means. 890 00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:45,719 Speaker 2: No, And the US is energy independent, something you can't 891 00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:48,640 Speaker 2: say for Australia, and I think you're a net exporter 892 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:50,200 Speaker 2: of energy. 893 00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,960 Speaker 3: But tell me about what is happening in the conservative movement. 894 00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:57,120 Speaker 2: Obviously, SPAK is a huge annual event, a lot of 895 00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,440 Speaker 2: debate amongst conservatives. 896 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:01,919 Speaker 3: Are the Republicans split. 897 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,880 Speaker 2: Over the war in Iran? Or is it just a 898 00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,399 Speaker 2: minority who opposed this war? 899 00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:09,720 Speaker 6: No readA. 900 00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:11,400 Speaker 17: I mean, if you listen to CNN, it says one 901 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:14,040 Speaker 17: hundred percent of MAGA supports this war, and that's just 902 00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,080 Speaker 17: provably false because I'm mag. I voted for Donald Trump 903 00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,080 Speaker 17: three times and I don't like this war because I 904 00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,040 Speaker 17: know that it's going to cause a lot of repercussions. 905 00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,480 Speaker 17: I mean, the likelihood of a terrorist attack happening in 906 00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:24,480 Speaker 17: America is only going. 907 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,400 Speaker 6: To go up. And I would argue that now Iran 908 00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 6: is going to be more motivated. 909 00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,799 Speaker 17: Than ever to get a nuclear weapon, and nobody wants 910 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:31,920 Speaker 17: them to have a nuclear weapon. 911 00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:33,480 Speaker 6: I mean, they're literal terrorists. 912 00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,799 Speaker 17: But at the same exact time, now they're fighting a 913 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,160 Speaker 17: proxy war with Russia and Iran who has been helping them, 914 00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:43,240 Speaker 17: And we've been helping Ukraine fight a proxy war with Russia. 915 00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:46,200 Speaker 17: So this very easily could become a world war. And 916 00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,200 Speaker 17: at the same exact time, Donald Trump is asking for 917 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,640 Speaker 17: all of the European Union to come together and help them. 918 00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:53,520 Speaker 17: So just that alone makes us a world war. And 919 00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:56,239 Speaker 17: Donald Trump campaigned on no new wars. That was a 920 00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 17: big part of a strategy. And I think that you 921 00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,200 Speaker 17: can believe what you want to about me, but JD. 922 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,879 Speaker 17: Vance has been very quiet when it comes to this war. 923 00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,239 Speaker 17: And I think that's very telling because people are positioning 924 00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:08,000 Speaker 17: who's going to be the top dog next. 925 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:13,400 Speaker 2: Well, that in itself is going to be hugely interesting, 926 00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,400 Speaker 2: isn't it. Because you've got Marco Rubio, who seems to 927 00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:20,320 Speaker 2: be far more on board with this conflict and seems 928 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,520 Speaker 2: to be sharing a worldview with President Trump. 929 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:24,840 Speaker 3: And then you've got JD. 930 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:31,200 Speaker 2: Vance, who is many suspect anti war in this instance, 931 00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:34,919 Speaker 2: even and President Trump has been open about him and JD. 932 00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:38,920 Speaker 2: Vans have having different views on this conflict. How do 933 00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:42,000 Speaker 2: you see that race? Because for a long time JD. 934 00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,239 Speaker 2: Vance was going to be the successor, he was going 935 00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,799 Speaker 2: to be the next Republican candidate for president. Now there's 936 00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,840 Speaker 2: a lot of people pushing Marco Rubio and saying his 937 00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:55,480 Speaker 2: performance as Secretary of State has been so brilliant that 938 00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,880 Speaker 2: he's really the front runner now for that position. 939 00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,080 Speaker 17: Give the edge to Marco Rubio because he has Trump 940 00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,839 Speaker 17: behind him one hundred percent. But really the big test 941 00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,000 Speaker 17: will be the midterms coming up in November, and if 942 00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,920 Speaker 17: Donald Trump and the Conservatives get crushed in the midterms, 943 00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,000 Speaker 17: that's going to send a message that they're going to 944 00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,440 Speaker 17: have to totally recalibrate their plans. 945 00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:18,359 Speaker 6: Going into the next election. So that'll be the litmus test. 946 00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:21,520 Speaker 17: We'll see how many people support Donald Trump and support us. 947 00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:24,040 Speaker 17: Because Donald Trump won all the moderates, you know, he 948 00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,520 Speaker 17: dominated this past election because all the people that were 949 00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:27,960 Speaker 17: undecided voted for Trump. 950 00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,640 Speaker 6: And we'll see if that's the case in the upcoming midterms, 951 00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:31,200 Speaker 6: and if it's not. 952 00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:33,239 Speaker 17: Then it's going to be a blood bath to see 953 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,399 Speaker 17: who is the nominee for the Conservatives in twenty twenty eight. 954 00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:41,200 Speaker 2: You one hundred percent right, Donald Trump got the independence 955 00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:44,440 Speaker 2: and a lot of people who don't pay attention to 956 00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,759 Speaker 2: US politics don't know that. Alex Stein, thank you so 957 00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,800 Speaker 2: much for your time tonight, and that's all the time 958 00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:55,000 Speaker 2: we have. I'll see you at eleven tomorrow night. Newsnight 959 00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:55,880 Speaker 2: is up next.
